His family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be a farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city. Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract people’s interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared. Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store, selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly from the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half. By 1919, Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always run his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “ THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT”. 56. Frank took a short business course in order to _________. A. learn something from a salesman B. get away from the farm C. earn more money for his family D. get enough to eat. 57. The price of the knives was cut down by half because ________. A. the factory workers worked 24 hours a day. [来源:Zxxk.Com] B. the knives were made in Germany, where labour (劳动力) was cheap. C. the knives were produced in one factory. D. knives were ordered in large quantities directly from the factory. 58. ________ make Woolworth a world-famous man.[来源:学.科.网] A. The low price of the goods he sold B. His business skills and his wealth C. His trip to Germany and his huge order of knives D. His natural skill for showing things 59. The belief that “ The customer is always right” suggests that ________. A. stores should do their best to meet the customer’s needs if they want to be successful. B. whenever there is a quarrel between the customer and shop assistant, the customers are always right. C. If you want to succeed, the rule is the only way. D. stores must always follow the customer’s orders if they want to make more money.

C Phys ed (physical education) is making a comeback(恢复)as a part of the school core curriculum(核心课程), but with a difference. While group sports are still part of the curriculum, the new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class. Instead of learning how to climb a rope, children are taught to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance(忍耐力). In this way,kids are given the tools and skills and experiences so they can lead a physically active life the rest of their life. Considering that 15 percent of American children 6 to 18 are overweight, supporters say more money and thought must be put into phys ed curriculum. In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gym-class model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed programs because school boards often "put P.E. on the chopping block(砧板), cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered," says Alicia Moag-Stahlberg, the executive director of Action for Health Kids. The difference in phys ed programs is partly due to the lack of a national standard. "Physical education needs to be part of the core curriculum," she added. The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have showed how effective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be. They observed how 50 overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country (越野)than when they played sports. The researchers also found that teaching sports like football resulted in less overall movement, partly because some reluctant(勉强的)students were able to sit on the bench. Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is that only a small percentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school. The new method teaches skills that translate to adulthood. 63.According to the passage, what is usually taught in the old gym class? A. Lift weights B. Cycle C. Climb a rope D. Have a balanced diet 64. What does Alicia Moag-Stahlberg mean by saying “some school boards put P. E. on the chopping block”? A. Schools welcome P. E. but do not have time for it. B. Schools put P.E. in the first place. C. Schools do not pay enough attention to P. E.. D. Schools cut down other subjects’ time for P.E.. 65. Which is NOT the reason to carry out phys ed programs according to the passage? A. More American teenagers are overweight. B. Traditional group sports teaching is not effective. C. Students need to learn some skills to help them lead a physically active life. D. Phys ed programs need less money to support. 66. What’s the difference between the come-back phys ed and the ordinary gym-class model? A. The Phys ed teaches group sports. B. The Phys ed provides more fitness programs. C. The Phys ed teaches tools and skills which could be used in the future life. D. The Phys ed has more support from the government. D Recently, we were given the opportunity to review a book written by a young author. When we received it, I noted how beautifully done it was. While often the case---we see beautifully written and illustrated books all the time---but how often do they come from a 10-year-old? Sewing a Friendship, written by a creative and talented young girl named Natalie Tinti, is such a book. Developing friendships is an area that Natalie Tinti has researched in her own life. In her book, Sewing a Friendship, she tells what great things can happen if kids take a step toward friendship. Tinti’s characters in Sewing a Friendship have colorful and creative personalities. Jonsy Jipsy loves singing and belly dance. Sokron Blossom lives in a neat and tidy world and loves to read fashion magazines. Meeka likes brain games and Nina is happy with her life and the music it brings her. All but one of the characters seems happy with their lives. One of the girls, Kiki Shaver, was sad to live in a small home with her aunt and uncle. She had no friend and didn’t know how to make them. When four girls invites her into the circle of their friendship, it’s no wonder that Kiki is hesitant and uneasy. The story continues as the four girls invite and accept a “ not so likeable” girl into their circle to win a fashion show. The girls feel a strong bond of friendship after the show. Kiki then understands that taking a step towards friendship is better than being alone. All the girls learn that by having the courage to include others, you can “ sew a friendship”. Today, it seems that almost every news headline begins with a child’s suicide---or murder---because of being bullied(欺侮), not having friends or family to discuss issues with and feelings of low self –respect. What’s causing these senseless terrible events? If more kids would invite the outcasts(被驱逐者) into their circle of friends, lives would be saved as well as pointed in another direction. Natalie Tinti finds her voice in Sewing a Friendship ---and shows a talent that’s rare for such a young girl. Recommended reading for all young adult fans. 67.The first paragraph serves as a(n) ______. A. introduction B. explanation C. summary D. background 68. The author seems to agree that ______. A. bullying is the main cause of children’s suicides B. friendship has the power to prevent sad events C. we should not respect too much from friendship D. one should not forget his old circle of friends 69.Which of the following words can best describe the ending of the story? A. Disappointing B. Satisfying C. Uncertain D. Unexpected 70.The general tone(基调) of the passage is one of ______. A. concern B. delight C. complaint D. praise 第四部分: 任务型阅读(共10 小题;每小题1 分,满分10 分) 请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。 Cloud-to-ground lightning bolts(闪电) are a common phenomenon—about 100 strike the Earth’s surface every single second—yet their power is extraordinary. Each bolt can contain up to one billion volts (伏特)of electricity. This enormous electrical discharge is caused by an imbalance between positive and negative charges(电荷). During a storm, rain, ice, or snow increase this imbalance and often negatively charge the lower parts of storm clouds. Objects on the ground, like trees, and the Earth itself, become positively charged—creating an imbalance that nature seeks to correct by passing current(电流) between the two charges. A step-like series of negative charges, called a stepped leader, works its way downward from the bottom of a storm cloud toward the Earth. Each of these ‘steps” is about 150 feet (46 meters) long. When the lowest step comes within 150 feet (46 meters) of a positively charged object, it is met by a climbing surge(激增) of positive electricity, called a streamer, which can rise up through a building, a tree, or even a person. The process forms a channel through which electricity is transferred to lightning. Some types of lightning, including the most common types, never leave the clouds but travel between differently charged areas within or between clouds. Other rare forms can cause extreme forest fires, volcanic eruptions, and snowstorms. Lightning is extremely hot—a flash can heat the air around it to temperatures five times hotter than the sun’s surface. This heat causes surrounding air to rapidly expand and move, which creates the thunder we hear a short time after seeing a lightning flash. Lightning is not only spectacular; it’s dangerous. About 2,000 people are killed worldwide by lightning each year. Hundreds more survive strikes but suffer from a variety of lasting symptoms, including memory loss, dizziness, weakness, numbness, and other life-altering illnesses Lightning can strike as far as 10 miles from the area where it is raining. That’s about the distance you can hear thunder. If you can hear thunder, you are within striking distance. Seek safe shelter(藏身处) immediately. Most lighting deaths and injuries occur in the summer. Where organized outdoor sports activities take place, leaders of outdoor events must stop the activities at the first roar of thunder to ensure everyone has time to get to a large building or enclosed vehicle. Once inside buildings, stay off phones, computers and other electrical equipment that put you in direct contact with electricity. Wait 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder, before going outside again. Lighting is dangerous. With common sense, you can greatly increase your safety and the safety of those you are with. Features ●Cloud-to-ground lighting strikes the Earth’s surface 100 times per second and it is (71) p . (72) p ●During a storm, the lower parts of storm clouds contain (73) p charges, while the objects on the ground become positively charged. ●In order to keep the (74) p , current is passed between the two charges. ●A stepped leader is formed in the bottom of a storm. ●When the lowest step reaches 150 feet above a positively charged object, it meets a streamer, (75) p a channel where electricity is transferred to lighting. Dangers ●Some lighting can set forests on fire and (76) p to volcanic eruptions and snowstorms. ●Lighting endangers human life and those who have survived from strikes suffer from (77) p long lasting symptoms. Safety tips ●Seek shelter as soon as you hear thunder. ●(78) p of outdoor activities have a duty to stop the activities the moment thunder roars to ensure everyone has time to get to a large building or enclosed vehicles. ●(79) p away from the equipment that can make you have direct contact with electricity. ●Don’t go out (80) p 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder. 第五部分: 书面表达(满分25 分) 你的朋友李华写信给你说在过去的两个月里取得了一些进步但有时还会不开心。请用英语给他写一封回信谈谈如何快乐地生活。 要点如下: 1. 有时不快乐的根源是忽视自己的进步太担心失败,因此要看清自己,了解奋斗目标。 2. 与父母,老师交流自己的忧虑,征求意见,改善心情。 以下两点自拟 3. ……. 4. …… 注意:1.对所给要点逐一陈述,适当发挥,不要简单翻译。 2.词数150左右。开头已经写好,不计入总词数。 3.作文中不得提及考生所在学校和本人姓名。 Dear Lihua I’m writing in response to your letter.

From your letter I know in the past two months , you have been making progress, but sometimes you are still in low spirits . Here I’d like to share my ideas about how to live happily. First, the source of unhappiness is that we ignore our progress and worry about failure too much. So we’d better know who we are and what to do about the future. This may cheer us up and encourage us to work even harder. Second, we can communicate with our parents and teachers about our worries and concerns and they are sure to give us advice and keep us company through such hard times, which will make us relaxed and delighted again. Also, we have classmates dreaming the same dream as us and sharing our happiness and sorrow. Getting along well with them can create a pleasant atmosphere where we can enjoy pleasant school years. Last but not least, a saying goes that laughter is the best medicine. Face the challenges with a wide smile! May you be happy for ever.

I do hate to complain, but it has really made me tired these days. M: I’m really sorry. I won’t do that again. W: Ok. Now you should go to bed, too. (Text 8) M: Can I help you? W: Yes, I’m looking for a mobile phone. M: What sort of mobile phone are you looking for, madam? Do you want to access the Internet, send text messages or play games? W: No. I just want to make telephone calls. M: How about this basic model? It’s very easy to use. W: Yes. What colours have you got? M: Well, we have this rather nice red one. W: Red doesn’t suit me. I wear a lot of pink. M: Well, we haven’t got pink but we have this one in blue. Does blue suit you? W: Yes, I like blue. I’ll take it. M: Ok. That’ll be 60 pounds. How would you like to pay, madam? By check or by credit card? W: In cash. Here you are. (Text 9) W: How can I help you, Mr. Martin? M: Well, I started having a bad headache weeks ago and it’s getting worse. I can’t sleep well. I’m tired all the time, and the worst thing is my hair is getting very grey and I’m only 30. W: I see. Well, do you smoke? M: No. I gave it up a month ago. W: Right. I see you’re a businessman. How many hours a day do you usually work? M: Well, I usually work eight hours a day, but at the moment I work at least ten hours. W: That’s a lot. And how do you relax? M: Well, I usually sit in front of the TV with a pizza and a coffee. W: Hmm. Do you do any exercise at the moment? M: Not really, but I’m losing a lot of weight and I don’t know why. W: Don’t worry. I think it’s just too much work. I want you to eat more vegetables and do some exercises. Come back and see me in four weeks. (Text 10) W: Hello, everybody. Here’s an announcement about our class.
