We asked this question to children from different countries. And here are some of their answers. Lara I think the best holiday in my home country is Christmas. It is on 25th, December. It often snows a lot during the Christmas season. The snow gives us a romantic (浪漫的) feeling. There are all kinds of special markets during the holiday. We have great fun visiting these markets with our friends. Of course, we can enjoy some delicious food, like candies, biscuits and cheese. Mingming In my opinion, the best holiday is the Spring Festival. It often happens in January or February. It is one of the main festivals in my country. My family gets together and enjoy traditional food, such as dumplings. We also visit our relatives and friends. The kids receive red envelopes with money inside. Amy I would say that the best holiday is Thanksgiving. It is the fourth Thursday of November each year. Families get together and talk about things they are thankful for. But I don’t like some aspects (方面) of this holiday. For example, there is so much delicious food at the big dinner and I always eat too much of it. Silva My favorite holiday? My answer is Carnival (狂欢节). It usually happens in February. During the holiday, we wear brightly colored clothes, play music and dance in the streets. People, young or old, men or women, love to dance Samba (桑巴舞) in my country. Everyone is happy and crazy about it. 55．Which holiday happens last in a year? A．Christmas. B．Spring Festival.

When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule. First set your time for eating, sleeping, sports, etc. Then decide a good and enough time for studying. ▲ . A weekly schedule may not make you the best, but it will make you know what is happening to your time. Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. It may be a desk or a corner of your room, only things for study. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, keep your mind on the subject. Make good use of your time in class. Listen to everything the teachers say. Listening in class carefully means less work later. Taking notes will also help. Have daily study. When you get home from school, read your notes before doing your homework. Read the text that your teacher is going to teach the next day. This will help you understand the importance of the next class. Have a correct understanding about exams. An exam is to show what you learn about a subject. They help you remember your lessons. There are other ways that may help you with your studying. You may find them out after you have tried these. 58．What does the underlined word “schedule” in the second paragraph mean? A．Timetable. B．School. C．Subject. D．Lesson. 59．Which of the following sentences would be the best in “ ▲ ” in the second paragraph? A．Study is more useful than rest. B．Fun is the most important.

A．Find a Good Place to Study B．Make Good Use of Your Time in Class C．Have a Correct Understanding About Exams D．The Ways to Become a Better Student (C) If you put your history notes under your pillow (枕头) and sleep on them the night before an exam, will you do any better in the exam? Most of us have hoped this may help. However, knowledge can’t go through the pillow into your brain. But that doesn’t mean you can’t learn while you are asleep. Scientists aren’t exactly sure how it works, but they have discovered that the brain can learn things during sleeping hours. In one experiment (实验), researchers gave German speakers some Dutch(荷兰的) words to learn. Then, they divided them into three groups. The researchers played the Dutch words for people in Group 1 while they were asleep, without telling these German speakers what they were doing. The sound was low so it didn’t wake them up, and only the newly introduced words were used. Another group listened to the same words while they were awake. The researchers found the people in Group 1 were better able to identify (识别) and translate (翻译) the words later. This was true only for the words that were played while they slept. The third group listened to the words when they walked. The walkers didn’t have the same success in remembering the words as the sleeping group. The researchers later found that people had more slow-wave brain activities all over the night. They said that more slow waves made people have a better memory for the new words. 63．When did the researchers play foreign words for people in Group 1 in the experiment? A．Before they went for a walk. B．Before they went to bed. C．When they were asleep. D．When they were having dinner. 64．What does the underlined word “them” refer to in Paragraph 3? A．Dutch words. B．German speakers. C．Dutch speakers. D．German words. 65．The last two paragraphs tell us the experiment’s ________. A．result B．reason C．influence D．purpose 66．What can we learn from the passage? A．Scientists think people can’t learn during sleeping hours. B．German speakers enjoy learning Dutch words. C．Slow-wave brain activities can help people have a good sleep. D．People in Group 3 didn’t remember the words as well as those in Group 1. 67．Where is the passage most probably from? A．A history textbook. B．A science magazine. C．A travel newspaper. D．A modern novel. (D) Every English learner needs to know how to ask for something in English. There are a number of ways to do this. If you know someone has something, you can ask for it with a polite question. If you don’t know, it’s possible to ask for something with a yes or no question. Be careful not to use the direct expressions. In other words, don’t say “Give me that”, but ask kindly as the following examples, “Do you have a pen I could borrow?” “Is there any wine?” “Did you buy any bread?” If you know or see someone has something, ask a polite question with “could”, “may” or “might”. It’s also possible to use “can” in some special situations. In the past, “can” was not used when people asked for something, but meant ability. In the UK, people mainly use “Can you lend me…?” or “Can I have…?” In the US, this is still considered to be wrong and “May I have…?” is preferred. It’s common to use “Could you lend/hand/give…?” You can also use “May/Can I borrow…?” “Could/Can you lend me…?” “May I have…?” “Could you hand/give me…?” Do not begin a sentence with “please”, but you can add “please” at the end of the sentence to be polite. 68．What can we ask if we know someone has something? A．A direct question. B．A no question. C．A yes question. D．A polite question. 69．What didn’t people say when they wanted something politely in the past? A．Can I use your dictionary? B．Could you lend me your bike? C．May I try your computer now? D．Might I take your car today? 70．Which of the following is a correct polite expression according to the passage? A．Do you give me any milk, please? B．Please could you lend me your ruler? C．May I have some tea, please? D．Please could you hand me a knife? 71．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．How to express or ask politely. B．What to do when we are polite. C．How to describe our ideas. D．What to do with our language problems. 72．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． B) 七选五(每小题2分) Have you ever visited Kunming? 73 It’s a city with a long history. Kunming has a population of more than 8,000,000.
