He showed them and 2 a result all the students laughed. “Sir, is it also learned?” one of the students laughed. “Of course! You think this is a simple thing, but it 3 easy in fact,” Socrates replied 4 . Hearing this, the students laughed even harder.
Without being a little angry, Socrates said, “In this class I’ll teach you how to learn this action well. After that, start today, 5 you will do it 100 times a day.”
At first, the students all swung their arms and said to 6 ,“How easy and funny it is!” Ten days later, Socrates asked,“Who still sticks to swinging his arms?” About 80% of the students 7 their hands. Twenty days later, Socrates asked, “Who still keeps on swinging his arms?” About 50% of them put up their hands while the other students 8 silent. Three months later, Socrates asked again. This time, 9 raised his hand except one student. He was Plato(柏拉图).
Perseverance(坚持不懈)is the simplest but most difficult thing in the world, because everyone can do it, but not everyone will do. Plato was very 10 just because of his perseverance. Only the one who can hold on to a simple thing may make it.

七.阅读理解(每小题2分,共20分)
A
What time does your school start? Do you wish you could get up later every morning? You are not alone if your answer is “Yes.” In the US, many middle school students have the same wish.
In America, many schools start before 7:30 am. But that may change soon. A new law has been passed in California. According to the law, middle schools should not start before 8:00 am. The government hopes school children will have longer time in bed.
Many scientific studies show that teenagers are more active in the afternoon and in the evening. Simply telling them to go to bed earlier doesn’t work well. Most of them don’t get enough sleep because of bad sleeping habits and early school starting time. They need more sleep in the morning. Scientists suggest middle schools should start at 8:00 am. or later. Students can get well ready to learn and they won’t fall asleep in class. The change can help improve students’ grades.
While scientists are happy with the new law, many parents disagree with it. They won’t be able to send their children to school before they go to work. They also fear that later school starting time will lead to later ending time. As a result, their children will have less time to take part in after-school activities.
It’s good news that Chinese education experts have noticed the problem and made some rules about that. So what’s your opinion? Do you expect China to pass a similar law?
1.The schools shouldn’t start according to the new law in California.
A.before 7:30 a.m. B.after 7:30 a.m.
C.after 8:00 a.m. D.before 8:00 a.m.
2.Why don’t most of the teenagers get enough sleep?
A.Because their parents need them to do housework.
B.Because their sleeping habits are bad and schools start early.
C.Because they play computer games too late.
D.Because they have too much homework.
3.Which sentence do you think can be filled in the blank in Paragraph 3?
A.They can put on weight. B.They will like their teachers.
C.They will join more clubs. D.They will pay more attention to classes.
4.What can we know from the passage?
A.The government of New York has passed a new law.
B.All the parents disagree with the law.
C.Later school starting time may lead to fewer after-school activities.
D.Teenagers are more active in the morning.
5.From the passage, we can infer(推断)that .
A.students should have enough sleeping time in the writer’s opinion
B.students in California will have less sleeping time
C.Chinese experts aren’t worried about students’ sleeping time
D.China has already passed a similar law
1.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A new law has been passed in California. According to the law, middle schools should not start before 8:00 am.”可知,根据加利福尼亚的新法律,学校不应该在早上8点之前开学。故选D。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Simply telling them to go to bed earlier doesn’t work well. Most of them don’t get enough sleep because of bad sleeping habits and early school starting time.”可知,因为他们的睡眠习惯不好,上学时间早,所以大多数青少年睡眠不足。故选B。
3.D 推理判断题。根据设空处前一句“Students can get well ready to learn and they won’t fall asleep in class.”和后一句“The change can help improve students’ grades.”可知,“他们会更加关注课堂”适合填入第三段的空白处。故选D。
4.C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的最后两句可知,较晚的开学时间可能会导致课外活动减少。故选C。
5.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s good news that Chinese education experts have noticed the problem and made some rules about that.”可知,作者同意本文的观点:学生应该有足够的睡眠时间。故选A。
B
Once upon a time, a king dressed up and went to a local village. He placed a large stone in the middle of the main road and hid gold coins under the stone. Then he hid behind a huge tree and watched.
The first person down the street was a milkman with his cart(小车). He crashed into the stone and the milk spread all over the ground. “What fool put this stone here?” he shouted. He picked himself up and angrily went away.
After a while, a group of women came along, each balancing a pot of water on her head. One woman tripped over(绊倒) the stone and her water pot went crashing to the ground. She picked herself up and walked away in tears. Neither she nor her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road.
The king watched all day as many people complained about the stone, but he found nobody was willing to move it. The king wondered, “Is there no one in this village who feels any sense of responsibility to keep their neighbors from harm?”
Just then, the king saw a young girl coming along. She was the daughter of a local farmer. She had been working all day and was very tired. But when she saw the stone, she said to herself, “This stone is a danger to anyone who comes down the road after dark. I’ll move it out of the way.”
After a great deal of effort, the girl finally succeeded in moving the stone to the side of the road. Imagine her surprise when she saw the gold coins where the stone had been!
Just then, the king stepped out from behind the tree. “Oh sir,” the girl said. “Is this gold yours? If not, we surely must find the owner, for he will certainly miss it.”
The king said,“My dear, the gold is mine, but now the gold is yours, because you are the only person who has learnt the lesson I want to teach my people. Nothing good can come to a nation whose people only complain and expect others to solve the problems.”

A.Angry. B.Sad. C.Curious. D.Worried.

B.It was not easy for the girl to move the stone.
C.One of the women in the group tried to move the stone.
D.The girl was excited when seeing the gold coins under the stone.
5.What’s the best title(标题) of the passage?
A.A Wise King B.A Kind Girl
C.A Stone on the Road D.Gold Coins under the Stone

The abacus can be reset(重置) to the starting position quickly, so you can start to count again 9 (easy). Today, the use of abacus is still taught in some primary 10 (school) as part of maths.
[语篇解读] 本文主要介绍了我国的第五大发明——算盘。
1.an 根据语境可知,此处泛指一个,且important是以元音音素开头的单词,所以用an。
2.fifth 根据语境可知,此处表示“第五大发明”。表示第五用序数词fifth。
3.to calculate 句意:人们可以使用算盘以更快的速度计算,因此它被称为“世界上最古老的计算机”。use sth. to do sth.意为“用某物做某事”,故填to calculate。
4.oldest 句意:人们可以使用算盘以更快的速度计算,因此它被称为“世界上最古老的计算机”。根据“in the world”可知此处应用最高级,故填oldest。
5.is 句意:要正确使用算盘,你必须知道一些事情。something作主语,谓语动词用单数,且时态是一般现在时,故填is。
6.of 句意:算珠通常是圆形的,由木头制成。表示“由……制成”且能看出原材料的用be made of,故填of。

8.However 句意:然而,如果你将它们移动至远离横梁的地方,则无法计算它们的值。设空处表转折,故填However。
9.easily 句意:算盘可以很快被重置到起始位置,所以你可以很容易地重新开始计算。修饰动词start要用副词,故填easily。
10.schools 句意:今天,一些小学仍把算盘的使用作为数学的一部分来教。some后跟可数名词复数,故填schools。

A
What time does your school start? Do you wish you could get up later every morning? You are not alone if your answer is “Yes.” In the US, many middle school students have the same wish.
In America, many schools start before 7:30 am. But that may change soon. A new law has been passed in California. According to the law, middle schools should not start before 8:00 am. The government hopes school children will have longer time in bed.
Many scientific studies show that teenagers are more active in the afternoon and in the evening. Simply telling them to go to bed earlier doesn’t work well. Most of them don’t get enough sleep because of bad sleeping habits and early school starting time. They need more sleep in the morning. Scientists suggest middle schools should start at 8:00 am. or later. Students can get well ready to learn and they won’t fall asleep in class. The change can help improve students’ grades.
While scientists are happy with the new law, many parents disagree with it. They won’t be able to send their children to school before they go to work. They also fear that later school starting time will lead to later ending time. As a result, their children will have less time to take part in after-school activities.
It’s good news that Chinese education experts have noticed the problem and made some rules about that. So what’s your opinion? Do you expect China to pass a similar law?

Once upon a time, a king dressed up and went to a local village. He placed a large stone in the middle of the main road and hid gold coins under the stone. Then he hid behind a huge tree and watched.
The first person down the street was a milkman with his cart(小车). He crashed into the stone and the milk spread all over the ground. “What fool put this stone here?” he shouted. He picked himself up and angrily went away.
After a while, a group of women came along, each balancing a pot of water on her head. One woman tripped over(绊倒) the stone and her water pot went crashing to the ground. She picked herself up and walked away in tears. Neither she nor her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road.
The king watched all day as many people complained about the stone, but he found nobody was willing to move it. The king wondered, “Is there no one in this village who feels any sense of responsibility to keep their neighbors from harm?”
Just then, the king saw a young girl coming along. She was the daughter of a local farmer. She had been working all day and was very tired. But when she saw the stone, she said to herself, “This stone is a danger to anyone who comes down the road after dark. I’ll move it out of the way.”
After a great deal of effort, the girl finally succeeded in moving the stone to the side of the road. Imagine her surprise when she saw the gold coins where the stone had been!
Just then, the king stepped out from behind the tree. “Oh sir,” the girl said. “Is this gold yours? If not, we surely must find the owner, for he will certainly miss it.”
The king said,“My dear, the gold is mine, but now the gold is yours, because you are the only person who has learnt the lesson I want to teach my people. Nothing good can come to a nation whose people only complain and expect others to solve the problems.”
