Without saying anything, he drew a line on the blackboard. Looking at the confused students, he asked, “Who can make the line ___1___?” Before he finished what he wanted to say, all of us laughed and cried, “That’s too easy.” “But there are some ___2___. You can’t remove the existing (已有的) line. You can’t erase (擦除) any part of it. ___3___ you can’t even touch it.” Mr. Brown added. We had never thought that the line needed to be shortened without doing anything to it! All at once, the whole class fell into ___4___. We were just looking at each other, but ___5___ of us came up with any idea. All our mind seemed to go blank. When I looked at Tom, the smartest student in the class, I noticed him quietly lower his head. After a while, complaints could be heard everywhere. “It’s impossible. It can’t be done.” “How can we do that without touching the line?” Mr. Brown didn’t say anything. Slowly he ___6___ a piece of chalk, and carefully drew on the board another line that was longer than the first one. Then he ___7___, “We can’t make the line shorter, but we can draw a longer line to make it look shorter.” For some time there was dead silence. Then smiles of understanding appeared on every young face. Finally we shouted and applauded (鼓掌) ___8___ as we realized we had learned a useful lesson. For many people, when they are faced up with competition, the first idea that will come into their mind easily is to cut others’ line short.

Some others came up ____19____ even more creative ideas. “Why not open ____20____ hot pot restaurant under the park?” VII阅读理解（15题, 每题2分） A篇 A tree has roots (根). Problems have roots too. If you get to the root of a problem, you will solve it. It’s the same thing with words. Dig deeply into a big, unfamiliar (不熟悉) word and you will understand where it came from. As readers, we need to deal with the text as if we were detectives (侦探) looking for information to unlock the unknown. Like any good detective arriving on the crime scene, the first thing to do when meeting a new and difficult word is to judge the situation, to look at everything that is known and see if it helps us to understand what it means. As you know, prefixes (前缀) and suffixes (后缀) can be added to the beginning or end of words to change the meaning. Know them, and you will have the word building power. But root words are the key. Take time to learn a few of these, put them in your memory, and you will become a master word detective. Read the chart below. *If you and your friend like to eat out, first you pay and the other pays the next time. You are alternating paying. *If you go to the movies on alternate Saturdays, you go on one Saturday, but not the other Saturday. *If you have no alternative, you have no other choice. Let’s look at one common root word used in English. “Alter” from the Latin word means “other”. When you meet this root word, you know that the bigger word has something to do with “other”. Examine the word “alternate”. Can you find the Latin root in it? Learn as many root words as possible in the language you are studying. Then use your “rooting for words” skills. Like any new skill, practice and hard work are always paid back. 21. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The situation. B. The crime scene. C. A new and difficult word. D. Everything that is known. 22. If Jim and Lily go to the movies, which one below is “alternating paying”? A. They each pay half. B. Jim pays every time. C. They take turns paying. D. Their parents pay for them. 23. How does the writer explain his ideas about root words? A. By giving a fact. B. By taking an example. C. By telling a story. D. By having a discussion. 24. “Sen” from the Latin word means “old”. Which word uses this Latin root? A. My brother is my senior by two years. B. He was ill so he was absent from school. C. A criminal was sentenced to death by law. D. 60 students were present at the sports meeting. 25. What is the structure of the text? (P=Paragraph) A. B. C. D. B篇 One of the greatest pleasures for me in life is going to watch a great film at the cinema because it’s a chance for me to get excited and relaxed. There’s nothing better than being lost in a story unless, of course, someone decides to break down the moment. Whether at a cinema or a huge theater, someone usually decides to treat the place like their own home! There is an accepted way of behaving at the cinema which some people don’t seem to understand. To start with, some people always turn up late, causing you to rise from your seat to allow them to go past. Then, when you want to enjoy the surround-sound effects, someone begins to enjoy their drinks and popcorn and makes a lot of noise. And what I can’t stand most is people who decide to chat to their friends, sometimes not even about the film. I’m not alone in this situation. Simon, a film critic (评论家) at the BBC, experienced a “new low” during a film. He says, “The woman in front of me got a mirror out, then her boyfriend got a phone out and used the light on it to allow her to do her make-up!” Simon has helped to create a list of rules on how moviegoers (电影观众) should behave at the cinema. One of them is no use of mobile phones, and another is not to take your shoes off—the most serious offence (冒犯). Of course, when we have paid for a ticket, we feel it is our right to relax and enjoy the film in the way we want to, but we mustn’t forget our fellow (同伴) moviegoers who want to enjoy the film, either. The best choice for anyone wanting to break the rules of cinema manners is to get a DVD and watch it at home. But we all know that the best way to enjoy the art of cinematography is on the big screen. It’s your choice! What about you? What annoys you about other people at the cinema? 26. Why does the writer enjoy going to the cinema? A It makes him feel like being at home. B. It gives him a moment to get excited and relaxed. C. He prefers watching the films on big screens with other moviegoers. D. He wants to enjoy the film. 27. What do the underlined words “turn up” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. leave B. stand up C. get up D. appear 28. What can’t the writer stand most at a cinema? A Chatting to their friends. B. Turning up late. C. Eating popcorn. D. Having drinks. 29. What is considered by Simon to be the rudest at a cinema? A. Talking on the mobile phones. B. Chatting to their friends. C. Taking the shoes off. D. Having drinks and eating popcorn. 30. What is the best title for the text? A. How to Choose Popular Cinemas B. To Be A Serious Film Critic C. Mind Cinema Manners D. An Unpleasant Experience D篇 阅读表达 Working out (锻炼) through online videos Physical exercise is good for our mind, body and spirit. Today, working out through online videos is becoming very popular. Since the Internet is widely used, it’s very easy for us to do so. That means we can work out anytime anywhere. One of my friends, Lin Fei followed short workout videos to do daily exercise. “With live programs, I feel like working out with my friends, which encourages me to hold on to the last minute,” she said. Another friend of mine, Michael, told me that workout videos let him feel so comfortable. “I have a fear of working out at the gym because I don’t like being watched by others. Working out at home makes working out much more enjoyable.” he said. With their examples, I decided to give it a try. When I told my plan to my elder sister, a PE. teacher, she reminded me that workout videos could be helpful but might still carry some problems. “Without being with someone in person, you will be less willing (愿意的) to work out to your best. Working out at the gym allows you to have advice in real time and get pushed harder.” my sister said to me. “Well, if you really want to have a try. First, choose proper programs or videos. That’s very important. And then ask your friends for advice. Their experiences can give you a good sight into what you can expect. Anyway, don’t be addicted (沉迷的) to it. You should try different ways to work out to be healthy.” At her suggestions, I finally followed an online workout program with personalized (个性化的) help that is held for three months. After the first period of training, I thought it very helpful when I put in the right amount (量) of work along with a strong will. Compared with going to the gym, using online videos to work out is a much cheaper and time-saving choice. But it can be difficult sometimes when I’m too lazy or too busy to stick to it. 31. Which way to work out is becoming very popular today? _______________________________ 32. Why does Michael dislike working out at the gym? _______________________________ 33. What will happen to you without someone else in person? _______________________________ 34. What did the writer think about his first period of training? _______________________________ 35. Do you want to follow online videos to work out? Why or why not? _______________________________ VIII. （5题, 每题2分） 根据下面对话中的情境，在每个空白处填入一个适当的语句，使对话恢复完整。 A: Hi Jack! Have you heard of Chinese paper cutting? B: ____36____. What is it about? A: It is a kind of Chinese traditional art. It has been about for more than 1,500 years. B: ____37____?

A: How about at 9 o’clock this Saturday morning at the museum? B: OK! See you.
