So, he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means “rich coast” in Spanish. Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like America and West Germany. Bananas are the country’s second most important export. Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors. Education is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to separate (单独的) schools. Classes begin in March and end in November. The other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans. 1. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph? A. How Columbus found Costa Rica.

After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying, “I promised you a gift, and here it is.” What an honor！I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it! One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”, “pitiful”, and “dying”, which sounded ominous. Christmas was coming. “Don’t expect any presents this year,” Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. “If your baby brother lives, that’ll be Christmas enough.” As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. I’d never seen him cry before. The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say, “What? He’s all right?” He hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we ‎ can bring Richard home !” “Thank God!” I heard Mum cry. From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love! 9. what happened to the author on September 11th , 1958?‎ A．He got a baby brother.‎ B．He got a Christmas gift ‎ C．He became four years old.‎ D．He received a doll.‎ ‎10.What does the underlined word “ominous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean？‎ A．Impossible.‎ B．Boring C．Difficult D．Fearful ‎11.Which word can best describe the feeling of the father when Christmas was coming?‎ A．Excitement.‎ B．Happiness.‎ C．Sadness.‎ D．Disappointment.‎ ‎12.What is the passage mainly about ?‎ A．A sad Christmas day B．Life with a lovely baby ‎ C．A special Christmas gift.‎ D．Memories of a happy family D It’s clearly become a trend in schools around the world to ban(禁止) students from using the term, “best friends,” according to psychologist Dr. Barbara Greenberg. The movement, which is believed to have started in Prince George's school in South London, isn't intended to discourage close friendships, but rather encourage a wider friend group, Greenberg says.‎ ‎“Let’s face it. You can’t ban somebody from having a close relationship, and you can’t really ban somebody from having a best friend but what the schools are trying to do is foster the idea of kids having more than a single friend,” Greenberg said.‎ The idea is to increase the number of interactions a student may have with different members of his or her peer group.  “I see kids come in all week long who are feeling awful（难受的） because they are either nobody’s best friend or their best friend has moved on,” Greenberg says.‎ Jay Jacobs, who operates Timber Lake Camp in New York, stresses the downside of not fostering multiple relationships at a young age, for exactly that reason. “I think that there are problems in just having one friend,” Jacobs says. “Remember as you grow up, interests change, and children go in different directions.” Jacobs adds that teachers at Timber Lake, which changes positions between Glen Cove in winter and Shandake in summer, have made it a point to promote a more inclusive environment for years.‎ Jacobs reminds people that, “As you grow up, interests change, and children go in different directions,” so having only one friend can be risky. He holds the belief that children will be better set up for success later in life if they get used to having a wider friend group at a young age. “It’s about promoting kindness, looking to children to be kind to one another and to be aware of what it looks like when you’re not,” Jacobs says.‎ ‎13.Why do schools ban the term “best friends”?‎ A. To make students concentrate on their studies.‎ B. To encourage students to make more friends.‎ C. To prevent students from falling in love at a young age.‎ D. To discourage students from having a close relationship.‎ ‎14.Why are some kids feeling awful according to Greenberg?‎ A. Their best friends have moved house.‎ B. They are banned from making best friends.‎ C. They are under great pressure from study.‎ D. Their best friends have started new friendships.‎ ‎15.What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?‎ A. Mistake B. Difficulty C. Disadvantage D. Burden ‎16.What would be Jay Jacobs’ attitude to Greenberg’s idea?‎ A. Supportive B. Doubtful C. Opposed D. Unconcerned.‎ 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ There is an English saying：“__17__” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body.   __18__‎ ‎    Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise.   _19__  If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.‎ ‎    Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated(忍耐) the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. __20_‎ ‎     __21_ They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.‎ A．Laughter can prolong one's life.‎ B．As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics in which they help to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh.‎ C．The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.‎ D．It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing；it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the feet.‎ E．Although laughter helps cure the disease, doctors still cannot put this theory into clinic practice.‎ F．Laughter is the best medicine.‎ G．They have found that laughter really can improve people's health.‎ 第二部分语言运用 (共两节，满分45分)第一节(共20小题:每小题1.5分，满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳 选项。。并在答题纸上将该项涂黑 One afternoon I was sitting at my favorite table in a restaurant, waiting for the food I had ordered to arrive.
