第一节 阅读短文,根据其内容从文后A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
Passage 1
Most Chinese parents have great expectations (期待) of their children. It is common for parents to want their children to be successful. However, many children in China are unhappy. They live a planned life and are forced (强迫) to fulfill the dreams that their parents have planned for them.
In my opinion, there are two sides to parents’ expectations. Some expectations can help children to work harder for a better life. However, others can be harmful to children. Every child has his or her own thoughts and feelings. Some of parents’ expectations can take children’s freedom away. Wise parents allow their children to have some freedom and encourage (鼓励) them to do what they like to do.
My parents’ expectations of me are to be happy, kind and healthy. They never put too much pressure (压力) on me, and I live a happy life. However, I have my own dreams. I will never give up because my parents always encourage me when I am in trouble.
In a word, I think parents’ expectations are necessary. However, parents should not give their children too much pressure. In this way, their children will not lose their self-confidence.
16. What does the underlined word “fulfill” in Paragraph 1 mean in Chinese?
A. 补充 B. 放弃 C. 改变 D. 实现
17. The writer’s parents expect him to ________.
A. make a lot of money B. be happy, kind and healthy
C. lose self-confidence D. become a successful person
18. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Parents should encourage children to do what they like to do.
B. All parents’ expectations are good for the growth of children.
C. Parents’ expectations are unnecessary according to the writer.
D. Parents’ expectations always make children have more freedom.
19. The text is mainly written for ________.
A. teachers B. doctors C. parents D. children

第二节

When people say “culture”, we think of art and history. But one very famous symbol in American culture is a cartoon. ____32____ Over 90 years ago, he first appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie. When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18, 1928, it was the first cartoon with sound and music. The man behind Mickey was Walt Disney. ____33____ In the 1930s, he made 87 cartoons with Mickey.
____34____ One of the main reasons is that Mickey was like a common man, but he always tried to face any danger. In his early films, Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend, Minnie. However, he was always ready to try his best. People went to the cinema to see the “little man” win. Most of them wanted to be like Mickey.
On November 18, 1978, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. ____35____ But everyone still knows and loves him. Who has a pair of ears more famous than Mickey’s?
A. He became very rich and successful.
B. Today’s cartoons are usually not so simple as little Mickey Mouse.
C. We all know and love the black mouse with two large round ears—Mickey Mouse.
D. Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular.

Ⅴ.语篇填空(共10分,每小题1分)
阅读短文,在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空,使短文通顺、连贯。
Students these days often have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends. What can they do ____36____ this? Some people believe the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from London, agrees. “Problems and ____37____ (worry) are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. Unless we talk to someone, we’ll ____38____ (certain) feel worse.”
Laura once lost her wallet, and worried ____39____ days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day ____40____ she didn’t have any money. She just kept ____41____ (think), “If I tell my parents, they’ll be angry!” In the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes ____42____ (make) careless mistakes himself. They got her a new wallet and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says.
Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. “It is ____43____ (good) not to run away from our problems. We should always try to solve them.” He thinks ____44____ first step is to find someone you trust to talk to. This person doesn’t need to be an expert like ____45____ (he). Students often forget that their parents have more experience, and are always there to help them. In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you’re halfway to solving a problem just by talking to someone about it!

根据短文内容,简略回答问题。
阅读短文,然后根据内容回答问题,并将答案写在答题卡的相应位置。
It is Saturday, but I go to school as usual. I go to play football. I am in our school team and we are going to play against another school next week.
The practice starts at 10 a. m. We all arrive as early as we can so that we have time to warm up. We are training harder than usual because the other team beat (打败) us last year. This year we want to do better.
It is more difficult to practise in winter because the days are short and the weather is cold, too. It gets dark earlier, so it is important not to be late for after-school practice.
Our coach (教练) is pleased because we are playing better as a team now. Last year we were sometimes careless when we passed the ball and we lost to the other team in the final match. What a pity! This year we are training more carefully. That means we have a better chance (机会) of winning.
The fan club has fewer people this year. We hope to play well so that we have more fans to watch the matches. It is good to have our fans around. They cheer (欢呼) us on loudly and we feel more confident (自信的) to win the game.

Hi Robert,
We had a party at 3:00 p.m. last Sunday. It was held in the hall. Almost all classmates joined in, and even our head teacher came to share the fun with us.
At the party, some girls danced to popular songs, and a few boys played the guitar and sang. I made a speech—everyone clapped loudly when I finished, which made me really proud. We also ate delicious snacks like cookies and fruit salad that our classmates brought. We laughed and chatted a lot, talking about our interesting experiences in the past term. I felt so warm and happy because it made our class closer.
It was such a great day that I wanted to share it with you right away.
How about your recent life? Do you have any interesting activities to tell me?
Yours,
Li Tao
