Take，for example，the story of one 10yearold boy who decided to study judo(柔道) despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident.The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well，so he couldnt understand why，after three months of training，the master had taught him only one move.“Sensei，” the boy finally said，“shouldnt I be learning more moves？” “This is the only move you know，but this is the only move youll ever need to know，” the sensei replied.Not quite understanding，but believing in his teacher，the boy kept training. Several months later，the sensei took the boy to his first tournament(锦标赛，联赛)Surprising himself，the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult，but after some time，his opponent became impatient and charged；the boy deftly(熟练地) used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success，the boy was now in the finals.This time，his opponent was bigger，stronger，and more experienced. For a while，the boy appeared to be defeated. Concerned that the boy might get hurt，the referee called a time out. He was about to stop the match when the sensei intervened. “No，” the sensei insisted，“let him continue.” Soon after the match resumed，his opponent made a big mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly，the boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.On the way home，the boy and sensei reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy gathered the courage to ask what was really on his mind. “Sensei，how did I win the tournament with only one move? ”“You won for two reasons，” the sensei answered. “First，youve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second，the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm. ”The boys biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.24Whats the best title of the passage?ANo pains no gains. BWeakness can become strength.CWhere there is a will there is a way. DA great judo master.25According to the second paragraph the boy was _ with his teacher.Asatisfied Bpleased Cunsatisfied Dcareful26Why did the referee call a timeout in the finals?ABecause he thought the boy would be the loser definitely. DBecause he was experienced.CBecause he thought the boy would give up. DBecause he dropped his guard.27In the last paragraph the author wanted to tell us _Awho was the champion Bthe reason why the boy won every matchCthe sensei was very excellent Dthe boy was very courageousCChancesI really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the jobI also think my work is importantThere was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career（职业）I wasnt an excellent student because I didnt do much schoolworkIn my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didnt have much to offerI just accepted that I wasnt the type to have a careerI then found myself a jobLooking after two little girlsIt wasnt too bad at firstBut the problems began when I agreed to live in，so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the eveningWe agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week，shed give me time off the nextBut unfortunately，it didnt often work outI was getting extremely tired and fed up，because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the childrenOne Sunday，I was in the park with the children，and met Megan who used to go to school with meI told her about my situationShe suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification（资格证书）if I wanted to work with childrenI didnt think I would be accepted because I didnt take many exams in schoolShe persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpfulMy experience counted for a lot and I got on a parttime courseI had to leave my job with the family，and got work helping out at a kindergartenNow Ive got a fulltime job thereI shall always be thankful to MeganI wish I had known earlier that you could have a career，even if you arent top of the class at school28What is the authors present job？AWorking parttime in a college BTaking care of children for a familyCHelping children with their schoolwork.

Texting helps to save money. If you have a few words to greet your families and friends on their birthdays or on some important festivals, sending messages can be cheaper than phone calling. Texting helps to save time. Even if you want to send a message to 100 people, you can do it one second. Texting helps you to “talk” to someone when he is too busy to answer the phone. Texting can also help you to “talk” to someone secretly, if you dont want others to hear what you are talking on the phone. These advantages are so amazing that many people are crazy about it. They hold mobile phones in hands all day long, send dozens of messages each day, and even text while driving or walking.However, texting has its disadvantages. Junk messages may come into your mobile phone box now and then. When your phone box gets too full, you cant receive any more messages. You may, therefore, miss some important information.Whats more, if you dont do texting properly, for example, texting while driving or walking, it can be dangerous. It can cause injuries and even death. It was reported that about 6,000 people were killed and half a million were injured for this reason each year. In Fort Lee, a small town in New Jersey, USA, three people died because they walked into traffic while texting in 2020. Two researchers at Stony Brook University, New York found that texters are 60% more probably to have an accident than others. When people are texting, they dont notice other people or things around them. To reduce traffic accidents, all drivers of the UN are now not allowed to text while driving. About 32 countries have passed laws restricting the use of mobile phones while driving.Texting is a wonderful way of communication. However, only when we use it properly, can we fully enjoy the fun it brings.32. How many advantages of texting are mentioned in the passage?A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.33. What did the researchers at Stony Brook University find?A. Texters are easier to have an accident. B. Texting is a good way of communication.C. 6,000 people were killed and injured. D. Many people text to greet families and friends.34. The underlined word restricting probably means_.A. not telling B. not allowing C. enjoying D. making35. This passage is written to tell us that _.A. we should do less texting B. texting has many advantagesC. texting is better than phone calling D. we should do texting properly第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。A few changes about how a teacher runs a classroom can make a huge effect on how concentrated students will be in that classroomIts an issue every teacher has to face36._ Here are just a few of my strategiesRearrange （重新安排） SeatsI did the seat rearrangement because class conversation had become dull，and students just seemed to be there but not actually there37_ I had all of my students pick new seats at the tablesThe rules were simpleThey could not sit with more than one other person theyd already sat with，and it had to be at a different tableTake over A LessonOnce in a while，it can be fun to let the students take over a lesson in a unitLet them become the teachers，and the teacher becomes the student You can provide the topic they need to cover38._Have Open ProjectsOpen projects have been very successful in my class39. _ I used to dictate every part of my project assignmentsStudents would ask to do things a little differentlyAnd Id give in，surprised that their ideas were better than mine40. _Sometimes teachers forget to bring the fun to the classroomWe try so hard to cover the courses for our students until they break downSometimes its good to just set things aside for a day or two and have some funAHave funBListen carefullyCBut it can be solved in some very simple waysDLet the students choose the topic and teach whatever they wantEIts one of the simplest ways to rearrange a class and get things going againFThey get to deal with the material in a way that is refreshing and new to themGIve found that the more choices I gave my students，the better the projects have been第三部分 英语知识运用第一节 完形填空 （共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）One night I decided to spend some time building a happier and closer relationship with my daughter.
