His usual excuse was “I was too busy.” Daniel’s parents were worried about him. “He shouldn’t go through life-making excuses all the time,” his father said. “No one will trust him to do anything. He won’t be able to keep a job. No wise girl will marry him.” “I don’t know what we can do,” his mother said. “I have an idea,” his father said. “If this doesn’t work, nothing will.” The next day was Daniel’s birthday. He was really looking forward to getting exciting presents. He woke up, expecting his parents to wish him a happy birthday. But all the morning what they said was “Good morning, Daniel. Hurry, or you will be late for school.” There were no presents, not even a card. He was really disappointed. “Never mind,” he thought. “There will be a surprise for me after school!” But there wasn’t. Sadly he said to his parents at dinner, “Today’s my birthday.” “Oh,” his father said. “So it is. I forgot.” “So did I,” his mother said. “How could you forget?” Daniel asked. “There must be a reason.” “Well, yes,” his father said. “We have a really good excuse for forgetting your birthday, Daniel. We didn’t remember your birthday because we were too busy.” Poor Daniel! He never had a foolish excuse for not doing things again. 41．Why were Daniel’s parents worried about him? A. Daniel couldn’t keep a job. B. Daniel didn’t have a girlfriend. C. Few people trusted Daniel to do anything. D. Daniel always made excuses for forgetting to do things. 42．__________ thought out the idea to teach Daniel a lesson. A. Daniel’s mother B. Daniel’s father C. Daniel himself D. Daniel’s classmates 43．The underlined word “disappointed” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning A. kind B. clever C. unhappy D. tired 44．Why was Daniel sad at dinner? A. He was late for school. B. His classmates forgot his birthday. C. He didn’t get the, food he wanted. D. He didn’t get any birthday presents from his parents. 45．What can we learn from the passage? A. Don’t make any excuses. B. We should often talk to our parents. C. We should remember our parents’ birthdays. D. Don’t spend too much money on birthday presents. B Children are natural scientists, very interested in the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy. There’s no need for a lot of scientific terms (科学术语) or modern labs. You only have to share your children’s interests. Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-old children to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, the money I got and whether I liked money. When I finished answering, we sat facing each other silently. Finally I said, “Now that we’ve finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?” After a long wait, a boy put up his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper (蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?” This began a lot of questions that lasted nearly two hours. Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question many teachers usually wait only one second or less for an answer no time for a child to think. When teachers increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give better answers. Thirdly, watch your language. When the child is having a science discussion, don’t jump in with “That’s right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging a child to help others. But in talking about science, these words make a child think that the discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “That’s interesting” or “I’ve never thought of it that way before” or coming up with more questions or ideas. Lastly show; don’t tell. Let children look at their hands through microwave and they’ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. 46．To help children enjoy science, the most important thing for teachers to do is _________. A. let them see the world around B. let them study in modern labs C. tell them the difficult terms on science D. share the children’s interests 47．In the last sentence of the second paragraph the words “your lists” mean __________. A. your answers to the questions B. your own questions about science C. your questions from textbooks D. all the questions of your own 48．According to the passage children can give better answers to the questions if teachers __________. A. ask diem to answer quickly B. wait for one or two seconds after a question C. tell them to watch their language D. wait at least Three seconds after a question 49．The writer talks about all of the following ways except that teachers __________. A. tell their children stories instead of telling them to remember facts B. offer their children chances to see things for themselves C. allow enough time for their children to find answers to the questions D. encourage their children to ask questions of their own 50．The writer of the passage is probably __________. A. a teacher B. a scientist C. a boy’s father D. a reporter C Memory, they say, is a matter of practice and exercise. If you have the wish and really made a conscious (自觉的) effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you. Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night before. Memory “trick” work the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something, and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barber (理发师) shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barber shop across the street from my office. We always seem to find something funny and amusing (有趣的) in incidents caused by people’s forgetfulness or absent-mindedness. Stories about absent-minded professors have been for years, and we never got tired of hearing new ones. Unfortunately, however, absent-mindedness is not always funny. There are times when “trick” of our memory can cause us great trouble. 51．If you want to have a good memory, ________. A. you should make a conscious effort of practice and exercise B. you should never stop learning C. you should try hard to play trick on somebody D. you should force yourself to remember things 52．Which of the following sentences is true according to the passage? A. One night the writer forgot having locked the front door. B. The writer remembered to lock the door. C. The writer remembered unlocking the front door. D. One night the writer forgot to lock the front door. 53．From the sentence “We never get rid of hearing new ones”, we can infer that ________. A. we don’t want to know anything more about absent-mindedness of professors B. we will never get tired of listening to new stories about absent-mindedness C. Absent-mindedness happens not only to professors but to many other people D. we enjoy hearing new stories about absent-mindedness of professors 54．In the last paragraph, the word “absent-mindedness”? means ______. A. 麻烦 B. 记忆 C. 健忘 D. 心不在焉 55．The best title for this passage is ______. A. How to Get a Good Memory B. “Tricks” of Memory C. Forgetfulness and Absent-mindedness are Dangerous D. Get Rid of Absent-mindedness 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文及文后A～E选项，选出可以填入56～60各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Do you know which part of our body is used for memory? Is it our head? 56 It’s the engine of our body. In side our brain is something called the hippocampus (海马). 57 It starts working when something happens, or when we see something, or when we taste or feel something. The hippocampus then decides how it is going to remember that. There is short-term memory. It helps us remember where we put things like our schoolbag or our key. 58 That’s why it’s called short-term memory. 59 It helps us remember things like the name of our favourite TV programme, English words, and what we did last summer. And there is skill memory. 60 Can you play table tennis? We work very hard to learn skills like playing table tennis and play chess, and our brain doesn’t want to forget them! It’s hard to forget skills. Even if we don’t cycle for years, we still remember how to do it. A. It looks like a seahorse. B. There is long-term memory. C. Well, yes, but it’s actually our brain! D. It helps us to remember how to do something. E. We can’t remember this information for a long time. 五、写作（共三节，满分35分） 第一节 单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读句子，根据每个句子所给的首字母写出所缺单词。注意使用正确形式，每空限填一词。答卷时，要求写出完整单词。 61．He always finishes his homework r________ (有规律地), so his grades have remained stable. 62．We loved the food so much, e________ (尤其) the fish dishes. 63．To m________ (保持) her weight, she simply chooses fruits and vegetables over fats and sweets 64．Women t________ (往往会) to live longer than men. 65．I can’t say that I have any p________ (特别的) preference (偏好). 66．Skilled readers make use of c________ (上下文) to get better understanding. 67．Milk, oily fish and eggs all c________ (包含) vitamin D. 68．Sunday is a n________ (正常的) working day for me. 69．Dogs have a strong s________ (感觉) of smell. 70．For example, some students are s________ (紧张不安的) before a big test. 第二节 综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Chinese New Year is a great celebration.
