The 7 picks up pollen (花粉) from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field. If my neighbours grow 8 corn, cross-pollination (异花传粉) will affect the quality of my corn. So if I want to grow good corn, I must 9 my neighbours to grow good corn. " The farmer knows much about the connection of life. His corn cannot improve 10 his neighbours' corn improves.

Arvind is 13 years old.This was the fourth time he took part in the competition.He placed ninth in 2010 and finished in third place in both 2011 and 2012.This year he could take home ＄30，000 for his hard work.Arivind is interested in math and science and he hopes to be a scientist one day.He also enjoys basketball very much.His favorite player is O'Neal. In the competition，students need to spell English words.It's not very easy to spell out all the words.Because some of the words are very complicated to spell.The competition started in the U.S.in 1925，and now it's popular all over the world.This year，281 spellers from around the world took part in it.The spellers are between 8 and 14 years old.These students are wonderful，aren't they？ 1.Arvind first took part in the competition at the age of 　 　.

A.简单的 B.新颖的 C.复杂的 D.完整的 B Anne and Joseph are talking about an interesting question. Why do some people changetheir names? There can be many reasons. Hanna changed her name to Anne because she thought it would be easier for people to remember. Joseph is thinking about changing his name to an unusual name because he wants to be different. People have a lot of reasons for changing their names. Film stars, singers, sportsmen and some famous people often change their names because they want names that are not ordinary, or that have a special sound. They chose the "new names" for themselves instead of the names their parents gave them when they were born. Some people have another reason for changing their names. They have moved to a new country and want to use a name that is usual there. For example, Li Kaiming changed his name to Ken Lee when he moved to the United States. He uses the name Ken at his job and at school. But with his family and Chinese friends, he uses Li Kaiming. For some people, usingdifferent names makes life easier in their new country. In many countries,a woman changes her family name to her husband's after she getsmarried. But today, many women are keeping their own family names and not using theirhusband's. Sometimes, women use their own names in some situations and their husbands' inother situations. And some use both their own names and their husbands'. 4. Hanna changed her name to________. A. Anne B. Hans C. Hnne D. Anna 5. Joseph is thinking about changing his name because he wants to _______. A. move to another place B. have a name with a special sound C. be different D. make life easier in a new country 6. In many countries,a woman changes her family name to her husband's _______. A. in all situations B. because she loves her husband C. before she gets married D. after she gets married 7. People change their names and _______ for it. A. there is only one reason B. there are two reasons C. there may be many reasonsD. there are five reasons C Many young Chinese people drink coffee when meeting with friends. Yang Lin lives in the U.S. but comes from an area in China famous for growing tea. She used to only drink tea while in China. But now, she says, she drinks both for different reasons. "I would say ... I was a tea drinker when I was in China. But now, you know, with the influence of different holiday drinks ... I think I like coffee as well as tea now." Yang Lin says that drinking coffee for her is a social event. She and her workmates like to sit in a café and talk over a cup of coffee. Tea, she says, is more about family memories. She grew up in Fujian Province — an area known for its tea. Ms. Yang says that as a child, her family would get together in the evening and talk about the day’s events over a pot of tea. So now, even the smell of Fujian tea brings back these warm family memories. Voyo is another Chinese woman who now lives in Washington D.C. She says that after moving to the U.S. her tastes changed. We would call her a coffee convert, someone who now chooses to drink coffee. "I used to be a tea drinker before I came to the United States. But now I am a coffee drinker and actually getting to be a very heavy coffee drinker. Like I go from one cup a day to three cups a day and if I stop one day I will have a headache." said Voyo. 8. is grown in Yang Lin’s hometown. A. Coffee B. Tea C. Both coffee and tea D. Neither coffee nor tea 9. Yang Lin usually coffee with her workmates in a café. A. collects B. drinks C. cooks D. sells 10. The smell of Fujian tea . A. brings Yang Lin back to her family B. reminds Yang Lin of her family C. is often sent to Yang Lin D. improves the memory of Yang Lin 11. The phrase ＂ a coffee convert ＂ in Paragraph 5 means a person who used to have other drinks a coffee drinker now. A. becomes B. hates C. finds D. leaves D When Abraham Lincoln was young, he worked in a store. One day a woman came into the store and bought some things. They added up to two dollars and six and a quarter cents. The bill was paid, and the woman was satisfied. But the young storekeeper, not feeling quite sure about his calculations(计算), added up the things again. To his surprise, he found that it should have been but two dollars. ＂I’ve made her pay six and a quarter cents more,＂ said young Abe, upset. It was an unimportant thing, and many salespersons would forget it, but Abe was too careful for that. The money must be paid back, he decided. At night, he closed the store and walked to the home of his customer. He explained the matter, paid over the six and a quarter cents, and returned satisfied. Here is another story of young Lincoln’s strict honesty. A woman entered the store and asked for half a pound of tea. The young man weighed it out. This was the last sale of the day. The next morning, when beginning his duties, Abe discovered a four-ounce weight on the scales(磅砰). It flashed upon him at once that he had used this in the sale last night, and so, of course, given his customer short weight. Many people would not have been much worried by this discovery. But Abe weighed out four ounces of the tea, shut up the store, and carried it to the customer. I think that the name, so often given in late times to President Lincoln, of ＂Honest Old Abe＂, was well deserved(应得的). 12. What did Abraham Lincoln use to be when he was young according to the passage? A. A teacher. B. A farmer. C. A storekeeper. D. A president. 13. When young Abe found he made a wrong calculation, he . A. tried to forget it B. paid over the money C. felt it was unimportant D. gave hack the short weight 14. When did he find his mistake in the second story? A. At the end of that day. B. In the middle of that day. C. At the end of the next day. D. At the beginning of the next day. 15. What can we know from the second story? A. Abe wasn’t worried by this discovery. B. Abe didn’t notice he put a five-ounce weight on the scales. C. Abe gave the customer enough weight at last. D. Abe gave his customer short weight on purpose. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共60分） 四、词汇（本题共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） A．请根据括号中的中文提示、英文释义或句意，写出句中所缺单词，使句子通顺。 1.Every year when the Spring Festival comes, all the trains and buses are crowded with ___________ (a person who rides in a car, bus, train, etc. but does not drive it). 2.After three hours’ ______________ (累人的）bus trip, they arrived at a small village. 3.____________（form a picture in your mind of someone or something) your parents’ reaction when they hear your decision. 4.The sick lady will die in a few days ___________ she is operated on immediately. 5.When he knew that Jack came first in the competition, he opened his mouth ____________ (张大的）.
