10、 in the leaves. He then 19 something 20 among that mass of earth and straw（稻草）of the nest. He broke the earth around it into pieces with his finger tips and, to his 21 ,saw glittering (闪闪发光) gold.

16、ss? The answers to these questions can be found in US president Barack Obamas “back to school” speech. Here is an excerpt(摘录) from his speech.I know that sometimes, you get the sense that you can be rich and successful without any hard workthat your ticket to success is through rapping (饶舌音乐) or bas

17、ketball or being a TV star, when chances are, youre not going to be any of those things.But the truth is, being successful is hard. You wont love every subject you study. Not all the homework will seem completely important to your life right this minute. And you may not succeed at everything the fir

18、st time you try. Thats OK. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones whove had the most failures. JK Rowlings first Harry Potter book was turned down 12 times before it finally came out. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and

19、 missed thousands of shots (投篮) during his career. But he once said, “I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” These people succeeded because they understand that you cant let your failures beat youyou have to let them teach you. You have to let them show yo

20、u what to do differently next time.No ones born being good at things. You become good at things through hard work.Dont be afraid to ask questions. Dont be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isnt a sign of weakness; its a sign of strength. It shows you have

21、the courage to admit(承认) when you dont know something, and to learn something new. And even when youre struggling, even when youre discouraged (泄气), and you feel like other people have given up on youdont ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.31.

22、 Why does Barack Obama mention (提到) JK Rowling and Michael Jordan in the fourth paragraph?A. To compare these two famous persons.B. To explain that writing and sports are difficult skills.C. To show that the two persons were treated unfairly.D. To prove that failure is the mother of success. 32. Whi

23、ch of the following statements is NOT true?A. No one can be successful without working hard.B. Failure can be good if you treat it in a right way.C. Those who believe in themselves shouldnt ask others for help.D. One should try his best to make his dream come true. 33. Which of the following is the

24、closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?A. One should change his mind when others give honest advice to him.B. One should believe in himself no matter what difficulty he is faced with.C. One doesnt have to work hard when he has failed several times.D. One doesnt have to take others advice when

25、 they get away from him.BMy favourite great book is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St. Petersburg, Missouri. Hes a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures(冒险).He runs away with his two friends, Huck

26、Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave and finally, they find a box of gold. My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to his own funeral.

27、 He hides and watches for a time, and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is surprised to see him but theyre also pleased to see him alive. Tom is the hero of the story, but there are other important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him. Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is

28、 Toms best friend, and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story. The theme of the story is about children growing up. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviour. Why do I think The Adventure

29、of Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but it's still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although its only a story. Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very real. Today its thou

30、ght to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go on- read it! I know youll enjoy it, too. 34. Where does Tom run away with his two friends? A. To a quiet street. B. To a small town. C. To an island. D. To a forest.35Who is the bad man in the story? A. Huck Finn. B. Injun Joe. C. Becky.

31、 D. Polly.36. How did people feel when Tom appeared at his own funeral? A. They were surprised and pleased. B. They were surprised and sad. C. They were worried and excited. D. They were frightened and happy.37. The whole book is mainly about _ . A. freedom and social rules B. childrens bad behaviou

32、r C. the growth of young children D. strangers in American small towns C In 1865, in a small town in Germany, a little boy was very sick. His name was Max Hoffman. “Will our son die?” Maxs parents asked the doctor. “Maybe,” the doctor said quietly. “Stay with Max. Keep him warm.” For three days Max

33、lay in his bed. Then he died. He was only five years old. Maxs parents buried(埋葬)their son in the town cemetery(墓地). That night Maxs mother had a terrible dream. She dreamed that Max was moving in his coffin. She screamed (尖叫) in her sleep. “Sh, sh,” her husband said. “Its all right. You had a bad d

34、ream.” The next night Maxs mother screamed in her sleep again. She had the same terrible dream. On the third night Maxs mother had another bad dream. She dreamed that Max was crying. She got out of bed and got dressed. “Quick! Get dressed,” she told her husband. “Were going to the cemetery. I want t

35、o see Max. I want to dig up his coffin.” At four oclock in the morning Maxs parents and a neighbor hurried to the cemetery. They dug up Maxs coffin and opened it. There was Max. He looked dead. But something was different. When Maxs parents buried him, he was lying on his back. Now he was lying on h

36、is side. Maxs father carried Max home. Then he ran to get the doctor. For an hour the doctor rubbed whiskey(用威士忌擦) on Maxs lips and warmed his body. Then Max opened his eyes. Max was alive! A week later he was playing with his friends. Max Hoffman diedreally diedin the United States in 1953. He was

37、93 years old.38. The story happened in the century.A seventeenth B eighteenth C nineteenth D twentieth39. At first Maxs father what Maxs mother had dreamed about Max.A didnt believe B believed C was surprised at D was interested in40. Maxs parents believed that Max had moved in his coffin after his

38、burial（葬礼）because they .A had seen him moving in their dream B found him moving thereC found a change of Maxs position there D thought the dream had told them the truth41. The best title of this passage is .A The parents and their son B The doctor and the sick boyC Terrible dreams D Buried aliveDEve

39、ry country has its heroes. The heroes are the people the nation and especially the young people admire. If you get a list of the heroes of a nation, it will tell you the potential (潜力) of that nation. Today in America, if you ask the high school students to list their heroes, their choice would prob

40、ably fall into three groups. The first group of heroes would be the rock stars the people connected with rock music. There is no doubt that such people do have talent (天才) but one wonders if one should hold up rock stars as a model. The rock stars too often are mixed with drugs and their personal li

41、fe is not all that good. The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles. However, one should seek (寻觅)more in a hero than such things as money and good clothes. A second type of hero for the American youth is the sports star. Again you have a person who has a great ability in one area-sp

42、orts. However, too often the personal life of the sports star is a bit of a disorder (混乱). Too frequently (频繁)drugs and drinking are a part of life of the sports star. A third type of hero is the TV or movie star. This person may have lots of acting talent and is quite handsome. However, the persona

43、l life of too many actors is quite sad and they should not be held up as a model of young people. Today, the rock star, the athlete, and the actor all have become the models of the youth in America. Really, do you hear a young person say that his hero is a doctor, a teacher, or a scientist? These pe

44、ople are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes. However, they are talented people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone.       What is really sad is that the young try to imitate their heroes. They like to wear the same clothes and follow th

45、eir styles. If the heroes of today for the American young people are limited only to rock stars, athletes and actors, the future does not look too bright.     42. From the passage, we know that the heroes the American youth admire are those _.A. who are not bright but are good -l

46、ooking.B. who are rich but are strict with themselves.C. who are talented in some area but lead an improper life.D. who are perfect in all areas43. It can be inferred (推断) that the American young people will not admire _.    A. a university professor     

47、                    B. a poplar singer    C. a football player                    

48、60;          D. a film actress44. According to the writer, people should admire those _.A. who are rich and wear the latest fashion clothesB. who can express peoples feelingsC. whose personal life is goodD. who work in the interests of the people45. What

49、does the underlined word “imitate” mean in Chinese in the passage? A. 喜爱 B. 模仿 C.崇拜 D. 迷恋四、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分）根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。（每空一词）46 Both _will be important to me.

52、y party? Do you get really shy?Shyness means feeling nervous or frightened when youre around other people. Experts (专家) have found that more than 80 percent of middle school students feel afraid to be the centre of attention. Some kids are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experi

53、ences.Its OK if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people. In fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. Its just a case of how much.Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. But some become so shy that they wont go t

54、o a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay the bill (账单). Some are afraid of meeting new people, so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.If shyness doesnt stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isnt a very big problem.
