Julia was a very beautiful woman. She was tall and her skin was white and smooth.
She only had one 36 : she was a little bit fat. So she took part in a 37 club, and
didn’t eat anything that might make her put on weight.
At a party, Julia told us that she had 38 her family’s favorite delicious cake
over the weekend, and they had eaten half of it at dinner that evening. The next
day, Julia kept staring at the other half and finally she cut a 39 piece for herself.
One piece led to another, and soon she had finished the cake.She went on to tell
us that she was so 40 that she could not stop herself from eating the cake and her
husband would be so unhappy. Everyone 41 her, until someone asked: “What
did your husband say when he found out?”Julia smiled happily. “He 42 found out,”
she answered. “I made another cake and ate half of that one too.”

A game of “catch” is just two people throwing a ball back and forth (来回地).
They might have baseball 43 , or they might use their hands.In fact, playing catch
is part of baseball 44 to make you get used to using a ball and a glove. But any
American kid will tell you it’s much more than that.
Playing catch is a time for kids to be with their 45 . It’s a time when there’s
nothing to worry about besides catching a ball. It’s a time when words move as
smoothly as the ball itself,back-and-forth, easy and relaxing. It’s an excuse to
spend time 46 .When you ask some adults(成年人) to 47 the good memories of their
dads, they nearly always say something about playing catch. Why? Probably because
dads are usually very 48 with their work. A catch game is a time that is only for
one thing. This is a time when a kid has his or her dad’s attention. There is no
work, no phone and no other people around to take your dad away 49 you. For the time
of playing a game of catch—your dad is all 50 .

A
Monty Robert’s father was a horse trainer. As a child, Monty often went from
one farm to another with his father. Sometimes they didn’t have enough money to
pay for food, but Monty sti ll kept hoping to own a horse farm.
When he was in school, his teacher asked him to write a paper about his dream. He
wrote a seven-page paper. He wanted to have a horse farm one day. He even drew a
picture of a horse farm in the paper.
The next day he handed it in t o his teacher. Two days later, he got his paper
back. On the front page was a large red “F” with the words “See me after class”.
So the boy did and asked his teacher:“Why did I get an F?” The teacher said: “This
dream will not come true for a young boy like you.You need a lot of money to own
a horse farm. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for a lot of things. There
is no way you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added: “If you write this paper
again with a simpler dream, I wi ll give you a good grade.”
After school he thought hard about it. At last, he decided to hand in the same
paper, making no changes at all. He wrote: “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my
dream.”
Many years later, Monty had his own large horse farm. His dream came true.
So don’t let anyone take away your dreams. Follow your dreams, no matter what
they are.

Usually, students are not encouraged to run or jump around in the corridor (走
廊). However,students in a British grammar school really enjoy running on the
corridor tiles (瓷砖) and their teachers even encourage them to do that.
Why? It is because the corridor was built with special kinetic (动能的) tiles.
When students jump on the tiles, electricity will be generated ( 产生). After one
year, the electricity generated from the tiles can fully charge 853 mobile phones
or power(供电) an electric car to drive seven miles. It’s amazing, isn’t it?
The corridor tiles are really a brilliant invention. Students ca n not only play
on the corridor,but also help power the lights in their school corridors and other
devices ( 设备) in their
classrooms. Besides, this is a good way to teach students
to be creative. They will be inspired to be scientists, inventors and engineers in
the future to find clean energy for all humans.
The inventor of the magic corridor tiles is Laurence Kemball-Cook. He was once
a student in this school. Now, he is CEO of his own company. The corridor tiles are
not Laurence’s only invention. He has also invented a special dance floor, which
can be used at music festivals. It allows dancers to charge their mobile phones while
they are dancing on the dance floor.
(
)56. Why do the students in the passage enjoy running on the corridor tiles?
A. Because the corridor tiles are expensive.
B. Because the teachers ask them to do that.
C. Because the corridor was built with special tiles.
(
)57. After one year, the electricity generated from the tiles can provide enough
energy for _______.
A. over 800 mobile phones
B. all the lights of the school
C. an electric car to drive 70 miles
(
(
(
)58. The underlined word “inspired” most probably means “ _________”.
A. encouraged B. forced C. trained
)59. What else has Laurence invented besides the corridor tiles from the
passage?
A. A mobile phone. B. A music player. C. A special dance floor.
)60. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Students are not allowed to walk in the corridor.
B. Laurence once studied in the British grammar school.
C. Laurence has more than one company of his own.

What should you take in with you when you take an exam? Pen, pencil, eraser,
ruler…, and don’t forget a bottle of water!
According to a study at the British Psychological ( 心理学的) Society Annual
Conference held in London, students who bring water into exams may improve their
grades by up to 10 percent.
Scientists at the University of East London and the University of Westminster,
UK, did a study on 447 students. The students were studying for different degrees
(学历) at the University of East London. Only 25 percent of them entered the exam
hall with something to drink.
Scientists then compared their exam results with their normal schoolwork grades.
They found that all those who had brought drinks with them got better grades by
between 2 and 10 percent.
I t is unclear why drinking water improves exam results. But scientists say having
enough water in our bodies and not feeling thirsty could have a helpful effect on
our brains. Drinking water may also cut down on anxiety ( 焦虑), which has a bad
effect on exam performances, according to Chris Pawson, PhD, of the University of
East London.
“Whatever the explanation, it is clear that students should try hard to stay
hydrated (含水的)with water during exams,” he said.
So next time, when you are going to have a big exam, try bringing a bottle of
water with you.Who knows – it may help you pass the exam!
(
)61. How much may the students improve their grades most if they bring water
into exams?
A. By 2%. B. By 8%. C. By 10%. D. By 25%.
(
)62. How many students in the study got better grades?
A. About 112 students who brought drinks or water into their exams.
B. All the 447 students who come from the University of East London.
C. About 300 students who took part in the study.
D. About 10 percent of the students who studied different subjects.
(
(
)63. The underlined phrase “cut down on” probably means _______.
A. increase B. bring C. reduce D. change
)64. According to the passage, how does water help students in exams?
a. It is good for their brains.
b. It makes students smarter.
c. It helps students stay cool.
d. It helps students stay awake.
A. a b B. a c C. b c D. c d
(

第二节(共 10小题;66~70每小题 2分,71~75每小题 1分,满分 15分)
A)根据短文内容,从短文前方框内的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题
卡上将该项涂黑。
A. They need to be left on their own, without adults troubling them.
B. Others have learned how to work in a team.
C. “Survival Holidays” is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting
activities.
D. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.
E. Many people think the survival activities are good for children.
Have you heard about “Survival (生存) Holidays”? 66 Now about 1,100 companies
are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.
Why do people like “Survival Holidays”? It is because they think being close
to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching
TV and playing computer games. 67
Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free
time to play. 68 Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the
children being busy with activities under the control of adults(大人), but children
don’t know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small
river or falling down seems very terrible to them.
69 Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have
learned to stay cool in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. 70 All
these skills will help them a lot in their lives.
