Even though he faced many difficulties, Yuan kept working and made important discoveries (发现). His hard work brought us hybrid rice (杂交水稻). It helped farmers to produce more food. When Yuan shared his findings with farmers, and scientists, his work changed the lives of many people. Yuan Longping’s story shows that success (成功) is not just about having great ideas— it’s about working hard and never giving up. 52. Why did Yuan Longping want to study rice? A. Because he is a hard-working person. B. Because he wanted to help people in hunger. C. Because he wanted to go to rice-growing places. D. Because he was touched by other scientists. 53.

You do not practice listening enough. The same way as how babies learn to speak, we learn a language ___75___ listening and repeating (重复) what we hear. Language learners need to practice listening. And there are some interesting ways, such as ___76___ to English radio programs and watching English movies or TV shows. You are not curious (好奇的) enough. In language learning, interest is the most important. If you ___77___ interested in the language when you are learning, you may never learn it well no matter how hard you try. You are not brave enough. It doesn’t matter how well you can write in the language or if you can get good ___78___ in a test. To learn, improve, and truly use the language, you need to speak it out ___79___ . “I am really shy. ” “I am ___80___ that other students will laugh at me.” These are just excuses for not trying. As the ___81___ goes, practice makes perfect. The more you practice speaking in front of others, the less difficult it will get. A wise man said, “You live a new life for every new language you speak. So stop making these mistakes and try to enjoy the fantastic world the new language brings you!” 【答案】74. even##much 75. by 76. listening 77. aren’t 78. grades 79. loudly 80. afraid 81. saying 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了三个让学习新语言变得困难的三个普遍的错误。 【74题详解】 句意：学习一种新语言从来不是容易的——如果你犯了以下三种普遍的错误，那么想要学好它甚至会更难。此空位于“more difficult”前修饰比较级，应用even“甚至”或者much“多”。故填even/much。 【75题详解】 句意：和婴儿学习说话的方式一样，我们通过听和重复我们听到的话来学习语言。根据句意可知“listening and repeating (重复) what we hear”表示学习方式，因此此处应用by“通过”，表示方式。故填by。 【76题详解】 句意：而且有一些有趣的方法，例如听英语广播节目和看英语电影或电视节目。根据“such as…to English radio programs”可知此处应用动词listen“听”，listen to“听……”，根据并列短语“and watching English movies or TV shows”可知此处也应用动名词“listening”。故填listening。 【77题详解】 句意：如果你学习的时候对这种语言不感兴趣，无论你多努力，也许你永远也学不好。根据“If you…interested in the language”可知此处应用be动词，be interested in“对……感兴趣”，此句是“if”引导的条件状语从句，从句应用一般现在时，主语是“you”，因此be动词用“are”，根据“you may never learn it well no matter how hard you try”可知此处表示否定含义，应变为否定句“aren’t”。故填aren’t。 【78题详解】 句意：在语言学习中你写得多好或者在考试中取得好成绩都不是重要的。根据“if you can get good…in a test.”可知此处应用名词grade“成绩”，并且应用复数形式“grades”，表示类别，get good grades“取得好成绩”。故填grades。 【79题详解】 句意：为了学习、提升和真正地使用语言，你需要大声说出来。此空修饰动词短语“speak it out”，根据句意可知应用副词loudly“大声地”。故填loudly。 【80题详解】 句意：“我很害羞。”，“我怕其他学生嘲笑我。”这些都是不尝试的借口。根据“I am…that other students will laugh at me”可知此处应用形容词afraid“害怕的”，be afraid that…“害怕……”。故填afraid。 【81题详解】 句意：俗话说，熟能生巧。根据“As the…goes, practice makes perfect.”可知此处应用名词saying“谚语”，“As the saying goes”后常加谚语。故填saying。 IX. 书面表达（共20分） 82. “时光荏苒，吐故纳新；精进不休，一日千里”。初中第二年，相信大家在外貌性格、学习爱好各方面都感受到了自己的变化和进步。我校英语角正在以 “How I Have Changed These Years” 为题进行征文活动，请你根据以下表格，用英语写一篇谈论自己近年各方面改变的文章。 类别 In the past Now Appearance and personality (性格外貌) Short; quiet…… Higher; more outgoing…… Learning habits (学习习惯) Be not good at English; didn’t do my homework…… Find the right learning ways, such as…… Hobbies (生活爱好) Enjoy playing games on the phone; watch TV…… Enjoy listening to music and join the basketball club…… 要求： （1）不要逐字翻译，逻辑要通顺合理；包含所有要点，可适当发挥补充； （2）文中不得出现考生真实信息，如姓名、班级等； （3）字数 100-120 词 (不包括已给出的开头)。 How I Have Changed These Years In the blink (眨眼) of an eye, I am in Junior Two.

He doesn’t smile very often. However, if you talk to him about music, he’ll have a lot to say. This is Jay Chou, the 45-year-old Taiwanese pop king (天王). His fans are so excited because he will have a singing party next month. Many pop stars will come, too. Chou grew up just with his mother. He did not talk much and did badly in many school subjects. His mother noticed the boy’s special interest in music and sent him to learn piano when he was only three years old. He loved it and kept on practicing. Chou is not very handsome. He does not speak clearly when he sings or talks. But the singer has a lot of fans. “He is really good at music. It makes him attractive (有魅力的) to me,” said Liu Jiajun, a Junior 2 student in No. 101 Middle School in Beijing. “He is true to himself.

But what kind of neighbor is good? The answers are different from people to people. Here are my answers. First, it is very important to respect (尊重) each other. If our neighbors try to know more about our life, what will we feel? He or she may also talk with others about our life. Do you want to live with him or her any more? The answer is “No”. We will feel very sad to have this kind of neighbor and move away quickly. Next, a good neighbor is always ready to give us a hand when we need him or her. For example, if we are not at home, our good neighbors will watch our house for us. Finally, a good neighbor should love the environment (环境). He or she never puts rubbish (垃圾) here and there, because the good environment can make us comfortable and happy. I think we all should learn to be good neighbors, and I also hope everyone will have good neighbors and live a happy life. 48. We want to have nice neighbors because ________.

A. B. C. D. D We all have moments when great ideas come to us, but turning these ideas into real things takes more than just having ideas. Yuan Longping, one of China’s greatest scientists, is a perfect example of this. Let’s go back to the 1960s. Yuan Longping was born in 1930 and grew up in a time when food was not enough. He had a deep love for agriculture (农业) and wanted to save Chinese people from hunger. Yuan studied very hard and researched (研究) rice because it is very important to many people. In the 1970s, Yuan made a breakthrough (突破) in developing a new rice that could produce (生产) more food. ▲ . Even though he faced many difficulties, Yuan kept working and made important discoveries (发现). His hard work brought us hybrid rice (杂交水稻). It helped farmers to produce more food. When Yuan shared his findings with farmers, and scientists, his work changed the lives of many people. Yuan Longping’s story shows that success (成功) is not just about having great ideas— it’s about working hard and never giving up. 52. Why did Yuan Longping want to study rice? A. Because he is a hard-working person. B. Because he wanted to help people in hunger. C. Because he wanted to go to rice-growing places. D. Because he was touched by other scientists. 53.

Yuan Longping’s early life. E DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in the UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. And TV programs teach people how to DIY. English people like DIY. A large number of people spend their holidays making their houses better places to live in. If there is anything that needs fixing around their houses, such as painting the walls or putting a new shower, they will do the jobs by themselves. More and more people enjoy the fun of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. They like making their houses better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular. But DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture (家具) which people need to get together by themselves with a few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can’t understand the guide book. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical (带电的) should be done by a professional worker. But many people don’t care about this warning and put themselves in danger. Last year, over 230, 000 people were hurt when they did DIY in the UK, including 41, 000 that fell from ladders (梯子). DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as we think if we bite off (咬掉) more than we can chew (咀嚼) . Maybe factories should make more products that are easier and safer for us to DIY. 56. According to the passage, many English people usually ________ during their holidays.
