D．Michael White. 25．How many jobs are mentioned (提到) in the passage (文章)? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. B There are three common questions about how to improve our English. The first question is about real English. Some students say that they want to learn real English. But they don’t know what to do. Watching English films is a good way. When we are tired after studying for a long time, we can watch an English film to relax. While watching it, we can also learn real English at the same time. The second question is about speaking. Most students feel too shy to talk with foreigners. “Where are you from?” What do you think of China?” These are both good questions to start a conversation. Before we begin, take a deep breath and smile! Smiling always helps. The third question is about vocabulary. We want to remember all the new words. The problem is that we write them down but forget them soon. Write eight or ten words on a piece of paper and put it in our bedroom. Try to remember them. Spell the words whenever we see them, and change them every day. There is another way, when you’re shopping, counting the English words or saying the English names for everything you see as much as possible. 26．According to the second paragraph, what can we do to learn real English? A．Talk to foreign friends. B．Remember all words. C．Watch English films. D．Write down words on paper. 27．In this passage, what’s the problem with most of the students speaking English? A．Too shy to talk to foreigners. B．Don’t know how to learn real English. C．Can’t remember English words. D．Want to watch English films. 28．How can we start a conversation with foreigners? A．By taking a deep breath. B．By looking at them and smile. C．By introducing ourselves to them. D．By asking some good questions. 29．If we want to remember new words, we can write them down and ________ whenever we see. A．search them B．forget them C． spell them D．say them out 30．Which part of a magazine may the passage come from? A．Learning tips. B．English stories. C．Foreign culture. D．Students’ life. C The most basic and powerful way to connect(沟通)with another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give to each other is our full attention(注意力). When people are talking, just listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most of the time caring about it is even more important than understanding it. It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of saying and meaning “I’m so sorry” when someone is sad. One of my friends told me that when she tried to tell her story, people often broke in to tell her that something similar happened to them even when she didn’t finish her words. For some reasons, her sadness became a story about them. In the end, she stopped talking to most people. We connect through listening. When we break into what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care. This easy thing isn’t that easy to learn. When I was young, I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer. A loving silence(沉默)often has more power to comfort and to connect than the kindest words. 31．In the writer’s eyes, what is the most important thing we can give to each other ? A．Plenty of money. B．Lots of freedom. C．Full attention. D．A smile. 32．When our friends are sad,what should we do? A．Share our sad stories with them. B．Listen to their stories and say “I’m so sorry”. C．Let them enjoy the silence and not talk about it. D．Tell them something interesting to make them happy. 33．The underlined phrase “broke in” probably means ________in Chinese in the passage. A．打断 B．拒绝 C．畏惧 D．同意 34．What can we know from the passage? A．The only connection between people is listening. B．Caring about what people say is more important than understanding it. C．People want others to share their feeling when they are telling their stories. D．People listen because they are too shy to speak or don’t know the answer. 35．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Being a good listener makes you a good talker. B．Listening to people isn’t something easy to learn. C．Most listeners are too shy to show themselves. D．Sometimes a loving silence does a better job than beautiful words. D Many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on Mars(火星). Here is what life could be like. First, transportation should be much better. 36 It might take us two or three days to get to Mars. Second, humans need food, water and air to live. 37 . These plants will give us food and oxygen(氧气). 38 We might easily jump too high and fly away into space. So humans on Mars will have to wear special shoes to make themselves “heavier”. Life on Mars will be better in many ways. First, people will have more space. 39 Then, robots will do most of the work, so we have more time for hobbies. There will probably be no schools on Mars. Every student can study, do their homework on the computer and take exams in online schools. Each student will also have their own online teacher called “e-teacher”. However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on Earth today. 40 Meals will probably be in the shape of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will make many people feel ill. 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A．There will be a problem for us to live on Mars. B．In 2100, spaceships can travel very fast. C．Food may not be the same. D．It will be possible to live in a large house with many bedrooms. E．Scientists should be able to find plants that can grow on Mars. 三、完形填空 （本大题共15小题，每小题1分，共15分） “What will I be like in 2029?” I asked myself. Everyone has 41 , and I am no exception(例外). Sometimes, I cannot help dreaming about what I will be like. If I were to keep practising the 42 every day, I would become a famous pianist. If I were to study hard, I might become a famous scientist or novelist. As I 43 , I realized that I was just an ordinary(普通的) girl. It is almost 44 for me to become famous all over the world. Now, however, I have a different idea about the 45 . In ten years, I might be a worker in a small company. I may not make a lot of money but I am very happy. I am 46 , but I still have time to work on my blog. I am still practising the piano and the 47 makes my home warm. Yes, I am not world-famous, 48 I am happy every day. It’s nice to have big dreams, but 49 is more important than words. A dream that is too far to reach is 50 . The world is 51 fast and many things are out of our control. 52 people will become world-famous, but we can still do a lot to change the future. Being 53 doesn’t necessarily mean becoming world-famous. Some people have 54 with their lives. They work hard to overcome(克服) the problems and keep making 55 . They are also the winners of life. I don’t exactly know what I will be like in ten years, but I’m sure I will do my best and be the best I can be. 41．A．hobbies B．stories C．dreams D．secrets 42．A．piano B．violin C．music D．games 43．A．got up B．woke up C．put up D．grew up 44．A．necessary B．important C．impossible D．useful 45．A．life B．future C．world D．company 46．A．busy B．free C．active D．patient 47．A．music B．piano C．blog D．interest 48．A．so B．but C．or D．and 49．A．mind B．memory C．journey D．action 50．A．harmful B．lonely C．meaningless D．unlucky 51．A．knocking B．joining C．mixing D．changing 52．A．Many B．Few C．Any D．All 53．A．successful B．perfect C．lucky D．hard-working 54．A．secrets B．plans C．problems D．ideas 55．A．choices B．progress C．money D．decisions 四、语篇填空 （本大题共15小题，每小题1分，共15分） 第一节 阅读短文，从方框中选择适当的词并用其适当形式填空，使短文通顺，意思完整。每空限填一词，每词限用一次。 angry ask quick turn tired understand because easy of share There is an old saying that all of us are born with two bags hung on our necks. A small bag in front of our chest is filled up with other people’s faults(缺点), while the big one at the back is full 56 our own shortcomings(短处). This makes it 57 to find other people’s faults, but hard to see our own faults behind us. There was a boy named Tommy. He had four friends: Simon, Jack, Johnny and Harry. Tommy always opened the front bag to check what was in it. He saw other people’s faults very 58 . When Simon was impatient(不耐烦的) with him, he said to Simon, “It’s so easy for you to get 59 .
