What do you want to do in the future? Three students share their experiences (经历) here! I’ve been working at a burger shop for two months. I thought I’d dislike it , but it’s been really good. I’ve learned a lot about how to work with all kinds of people and serve people. And I’m not as shy as I was. I don’t think I want to work there forever, but it’s given me some ideas about how to run a business. I’ve been doing a paper round (挨户送报) since last year. I have to get up early so that people can read the news with their breakfast, but I do the round on my bike, so it doesn’t take too long. The money isn’t great, but I’ve bought myself a computer with it. I’m not sure what I want to do in the future. I’m getting good with my computer, so maybe I’ll do something like programming. I’ve been volunteering at a care home for elderly people on Saturday mornings for two years. Some of my friends think I’m mad, doing a job for no pay, but I really like it. In six months, I’ll try to get a paid part-time job in a law firm (律师事务所) because I want to be a lawyer in the future. 26．Maybe Abi’s dream job is to be _________.

It was very old and often stopped working. But Grandpa didn’t want to throw it away because it was a gift from my sister and me. One day, the phone wasn’t working again. Grandpa asked me for help. I was upset (沮丧的) at that time because I was having difficulty learning my lessons. I couldn’t repair the phone. But Grandpa kept asking me to have another try. I got angry and said, “I can’t repair it and I am busy with my studies. Can you just leave me alone?” I could tell the sadness on Grandpa’s face. He said nothing and left. The next day, I went to school as usual. However, Grandpa fell over in the morning and was in a coma (昏迷). When I got the bad news, I couldn’t move or speak for a minute. Then, regret (后悔) came, along with the fear of possibly losing Grandpa. So I rushed to the hospital. Luckily, the doctors had saved Grandpa’s life. I will never forget that day. I won’t again give my bad temper to the ones I love and later regret my actions. 29．What happened to Grandpa’s phone? A．It’s lost. B．It’s broken. C．It’s stolen. D．It’s dead. 30．Why was the writer upset when his grandpa asked for help? A．Because he failed in the test. B．Because he couldn’t find his phone. C．Because he had difficulty talking with Grandpa.

C．He came up with an idea to save Grandpa.D．He thought of the good memories between Grandpa and him. C When I was little, I was really little. But my dream was big. I dreamed of being a basketball player. I tried out for the teams at school, but I was never given a chance. As I got older, I did grow a little bigger, but not a lot bigger. On my 12th birthday, I decided to try a new sport: running. I told Grandpa, “I’m going to be a sportsman.” “Dave,” Grandpa began gently, “if you can’t be big, you can do something big.” I ran 12 miles on my 12th birthday. On my 13th birthday, I did it again, but I added an extra (额外的) mile. On my 14th birthday, I ran 14 miles. 15 on my 15th, 16 on my 16th, and you guessed it—17 miles on my 17th birthday. All this running inspired (激发) another big dream. Someday, I’d run the Boston Marathon (马拉松赛). I told Grandpa about my decision. “But, Dave, you haven’t trained for the marathon. Are you sure you’re OK?” Grandpa asked. But he was still sure to walk over and cheer me on. I ran fast that day. But I fell at Mile 18 and the workers sent me to the hospital. Later that night, I called Grandpa and told him I failed. “No,” he said calmly, “you didn’t fail. You discovered something.” “I did?” I asked. “Yes, you discovered that big dreams don’t just come true. They take work. If you train and work hard, I am sure to wait for you next year and cheer you on.” I trained every day, running miles and miles. Sadly, just two months into my training, Grandpa died. He wouldn’t be waiting for my second Boston Marathon. I decided I’d run for him. That day, I ran fast, “Keep going! You can do it!” His words filled my head as I forced my legs to make each painful step. As I crossed the finish line, I threw my arms in the air and cried, “Grandpa, I did it!” 33．Why couldn’t Dave join the school basketball team? A．He couldn’t run fast. B．He didn’t work hard. C．He was not tall enough. D．He wasn’t a quick learner. 34．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．Adding an extra mile. B．Running on his birthday. C．Training for the marathon. D．Trying out for the basketball team. 35．Which of the following words best describes Grandpa? A．Hopeless. B．Active. C．Careless. D．Encouraging. 36．What is the best title for the passage? A．Dream Big B．The Boston Marathon C．Think Twice D．The Story of Grandpa D The debate (争论) on “computers vs. textbooks” has been going on for years. How much technology is enough in the classroom? Should notebook computers take the place of (取代) textbooks? There is no doubt that computers are powerful tools. Computer-based lesson plans are updated (更新) in real time. New information can be added as soon as changes take place. Students can find the newest information for the subjects they are studying. With computers, students can learn how to use them for the rest of their lives. Today, computers are used in almost all areas. Students can prepare themselves better for the future if they have computers. However, I think textbooks must stay. Textbooks are professionally edited (编写). All the facts have been checked. They are put together in the best way. Each chapter builds on what a student has learned before. On the Internet, however, not all the information is true or organized. With textbooks, it is easier for students to take notes. Scientists have found that taking notes by hand helps students learn more. Textbooks are also less expensive than computers. While most families have enough money for textbooks, not all of them can buy a computer. Every student should have the chance to learn what he needs to learn. It’s wrong to rob a student of his right to learn just because he can’t buy the material. Computers are of great importance in education. They encourage students to learn more. However, I don’t think they can take the place of textbooks. If students want to learn better, they must use textbooks. Do you agree with me? 37．The writer asks two questions in Para.1 in order to ________. A．raise his/her question B．get readers’ replies C．go on with the writing D．introduce textbooks 38．Which of the following statements is TRUE? A．Computers are playing an important role in education. B．Students can’t prepare for the future without computers. C．All the facts in textbooks come from the Internet. D．With computers, students needn’t take any notes. 39．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 40．Which of the following might the writer agree with? A．Students can learn better without textbooks. B．Computers can’t take the place of textbooks. C．It is better for students to study with computers. D．Textbooks are the only way for students to learn. 四、信息还原（共5小题，每道题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 Shylock was the richest man in town.

Shylock had to wait in the hospital sadly. One afternoon, Shylock wanted to sit in the sun, so he felt his way for the little square (广场) in front of the hospital. He raised his head to enjoy the sunshine. 41 Just as Shylock felt hopeless, someone hit him hard all of a sudden. That made Shylock very angry, so he shouted loudly, “Don’t you have eyes? 42 I’m Shylock!” The answer was from a little boy, “I’m sorry, sir. I didn’t notice.

Why do you give him light?” “You are wrong!” came the voice of a lady, “ 45 What he just described is what I told him!” Shylock sat on the square silently, tears coming up in his eyes.

In China, people created the 24 solar terms thousands of years ago to guide agricultural (农业的) production. Rain Water is one of the 24 solar terms which stands for the increase (增加) in rainfall and rise in temperature. With its arrival, the river water melts, wild geese fly from south to north, and trees and grass turn green again. Here are several things you may not know but can make you know about Rain Water better. Let me introduce them to you. Rain in spring is as precious (宝贵的) as oil According to an old Chinese saying, the rainfall in spring is as precious as oil. In northern China the spring drought (旱灾) is common. And the rain of this season is only 10 to 15 percent of yearly average (平均) rainfall. So at that time, rain is so precious and important to the crops. Return of a cold period A returning cold in the late spring often happens during Rain Water. The fast increase in air humidity (湿度) can result in lower temperature and wet weather. Remember not to take off your coats so early in this period. Visit to in-laws (姻亲) One of the main customs during Rain Water is sons-in-law visiting their in-laws and giving gifts. According to the tradition, gifts are usually two cane chairs with four meters of red belt. They stand for good health and long life. Another traditional gift is a pot of cooked pig’s knuckles (蹄). The son-in-law expresses his thankfulness this way. Nutritious porridge (营养粥) respect The wet weather during Rain Water is harmful to people’s health according to Chinese medical practice. So a bowl of nutritious porridge is the best choice to keep the body alive and healthy. 66．Why did people create the 24 solar terms? 67．What does Rain Water stand for according to the article? 68．How many things did the writer introduce to make us know Rain Water better? 69．During Rain Water, what gifts do sons-in-law often give their in-laws? 70．What do you think of the 24 solar terms?

I dreamed of being a basketball player. I tried out for the teams at school, but I was never given a chance. As I got older, I did grow a little bigger, but not a lot bigger. On my 12th birthday, I decided to try a new sport: running. I told Grandpa, “I’m going to be a sportsman.” “Dave,” Grandpa began gently, “if you can’t be big, you can do something big.” I ran 12 miles on my 12th birthday. On my 13th birthday, I did it again, but I added an extra (额外的) mile. On my 14th birthday, I ran 14 miles. 15 on my 15th, 16 on my 16th, and you guessed it—17 miles on my 17th birthday. All this running inspired (激发) another big dream. Someday, I’d run the Boston Marathon (马拉松赛). I told Grandpa about my decision. “But, Dave, you haven’t trained for the marathon. Are you sure you’re OK?” Grandpa asked. But he was still sure to walk over and cheer me on. I ran fast that day. But I fell at Mile 18 and the workers sent me to the hospital. Later that night, I called Grandpa and told him I failed. “No,” he said calmly, “you didn’t fail. You discovered something.” “I did?” I asked. “Yes, you discovered that big dreams don’t just come true. They take work. If you train and work hard, I am sure to wait for you next year and cheer you on.” I trained every day, running miles and miles. Sadly, just two months into my training, Grandpa died. He wouldn’t be waiting for my second Boston Marathon. I decided I’d run for him. That day, I ran fast, “Keep going! You can do it!” His words filled my head as I forced my legs to make each painful step. As I crossed the finish line, I threw my arms in the air and cried, “Grandpa, I did it!” 33．Why couldn’t Dave join the school basketball team? A．He couldn’t run fast. B．He didn’t work hard.

But my dream was big.”可知，全文主要讲述了Dave虽然个子矮小，但一直有参加马拉松比赛的梦想，并最终实现。故选A。 D The debate (争论) on “computers vs. textbooks” has been going on for years. How much technology is enough in the classroom? Should notebook computers take the place of (取代) textbooks? There is no doubt that computers are powerful tools. Computer-based lesson plans are updated (更新) in real time. New information can be added as soon as changes take place. Students can find the newest information for the subjects they are studying. With computers, students can learn how to use them for the rest of their lives. Today, computers are used in almost all areas. Students can prepare themselves better for the future if they have computers. However, I think textbooks must stay. Textbooks are professionally edited (编写). All the facts have been checked. They are put together in the best way. Each chapter builds on what a student has learned before. On the Internet, however, not all the information is true or organized. With textbooks, it is easier for students to take notes. Scientists have found that taking notes by hand helps students learn more. Textbooks are also less expensive than computers. While most families have enough money for textbooks, not all of them can buy a computer. Every student should have the chance to learn what he needs to learn. It’s wrong to rob a student of his right to learn just because he can’t buy the material. Computers are of great importance in education. They encourage students to learn more. However, I don’t think they can take the place of textbooks. If students want to learn better, they must use textbooks. Do you agree with me? 37．The writer asks two questions in Para.1 in order to ________. A．raise his/her question B．get readers’ replies C．go on with the writing D．introduce textbooks 38．Which of the following statements is TRUE? A．Computers are playing an important role in education. B．Students can’t prepare for the future without computers. C．All the facts in textbooks come from the Internet. D．With computers, students needn’t take any notes. 39．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 40．Which of the following might the writer agree with? A．Students can learn better without textbooks. B．Computers can’t take the place of textbooks. C．It is better for students to study with computers. D．Textbooks are the only way for students to learn. 【答案】37．A 38．A 39．B 40．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕“电脑是否应该取代教科书”这一话题展开讨论，分别阐述了电脑和教科书各自的优点，最后作者表明了自己的观点，认为电脑不能取代教科书。 37．推理判断题。根据“How much technology is enough in the classroom?”和“Should notebook computers take the place of  textbooks?”可知，通过两个问题，作者引发了关于电脑和教科书在教育中的作用的思考，从而为后续的讨论奠定了基础。作者提出这两个问题的目的是提出他/她的问题。故选A。 38．细节理解题。根据第二段“Today, computers are used in almost all areas. Students can prepare themselves better for the future if they have computers.”可知，计算机在教育中很重要。故选A。 39．篇章结构题。第一段“The debate (争论) on “computers vs. textbooks” has been going on for years.”引入教科书与计算机的话题。根据“There is no doubt that computers are powerful tools...Students can prepare themselves better for the future if they have computers.”可知，第二三段讲了计算机的优势；根据“I think textbooks must stay...With textbooks, it is easier for students to take notes...Textbooks are also less expensive than computers.”可知，四五六段讲了教科书的优势。第七段重申教科书的重要性。故选B。 40．推理判断题。根据最后一段“I don’t think they can take the place of textbooks.”可知，作者认为电脑不能代替教科书。故选B。 四、信息还原（共5小题，每道题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 Shylock was the richest man in town.

In China, people created the 24 solar terms thousands of years ago to guide agricultural (农业的) production. Rain Water is one of the 24 solar terms which stands for the increase (增加) in rainfall and rise in temperature. With its arrival, the river water melts, wild geese fly from south to north, and trees and grass turn green again. Here are several things you may not know but can make you know about Rain Water better. Let me introduce them to you. Rain in spring is as precious (宝贵的) as oil According to an old Chinese saying, the rainfall in spring is as precious as oil. In northern China the spring drought (旱灾) is common. And the rain of this season is only 10 to 15 percent of yearly average (平均) rainfall. So at that time, rain is so precious and important to the crops. Return of a cold period A returning cold in the late spring often happens during Rain Water. The fast increase in air humidity (湿度) can result in lower temperature and wet weather.
