What I finally came to remember was one day, several months before, when some students were giving reports in the front of the class, Jeanne spoke quietly, and to encourage her to raise her voice, I had said, “Speak up．Simon is the expert on this．He is the only one you have to convince, and he can’t hear you in the back of the room．”That was it．From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter, paid more attention, smiled more, and became happy．And it was all because he happened to be the last kid in the last row．The boy who most needed praise was the one who took the last seat that day．‎ ‎ It taught me the most valuable lesson over the years of my teaching career, and I’m thankful that it came early and positively．A small kindness can indeed make a difference．‎ ‎24. We can infer that when Simon’s mother entered the room，the writer felt____．‎ A. satisfied． B. nervous． C. happy． D. surprised．‎ ‎25. Why did Simon’s mother come to visit her son’s teacher？ ‎ A. Because she worried about her son’s poor work．‎ B. Because she wanted to show her gratitude to the teacher．‎ C. Because Simon asked her to do so．‎ D. Because she wanted to know her son’s performance in the school．‎ ‎26. What the teacher said in paragraph 3 is intended to________．‎ A. encourage Jeanne to speak louder． B. encourage Simon to work hard．‎ C. ask Jeanne to convince Simon． D. tell the students that Simon was expert on that．‎ ‎27. The purpose of the passage is to________．‎ A. tell the story of Simon． B. tell teachers how to be kind to students．‎ C. advise the readers to be kind to others． D. share a valuable lesson with readers．‎ C The role of a newspaper is to present and comment on the news．It is vital for keeping people well-informed on current affairs．In most Western countries, journalists try to shape the ideas and opinions of their readers, since in Western countries all newspapers are independent of the government．Some newspaper owners support liberal ideas including economic policies that help poor people．Other owners want policies such as lower taxes for rich people and less money to be given to poor people．You can almost judge the political ideas of a person in the West by looking at the newspaper he reads．‎ ‎ All newspapers report national and international news．They give the facts but also provide opinions on controversial(有争议的) issues in the editorials and columns of opinion．The readers of the newspaper can also comment on these editorials or articles．There are many informative articles too as well as reviews of new films and books, etc．These are very important, for if a film or book gets good reviews it will often become more successful．‎ ‎ All these articles require many journalists who are experts in different areas of life．All these articles come together and are checked by the chief editor of the newspaper．When he or she has made a decision on the articles, the newspaper is prepared for printing．All this work means that the journalists must work together as a team because there is a lot of pressure when you work in a newspaper office．There are constant deadlines and articles have to be fitted round advertisements, photographs and much, much more．‎ ‎28. What does the underlined word" be fitted" mean？ ‎ A. be suitable． B. be put． C. be read． D. be measured．‎ ‎29. What articles comment on controversial issues？ ‎ A. Editorials and opinion columns． B. News stories．‎ C. Some of the informative articles． D. Jokes and humour．‎ ‎30. Which is true about the journalists in Western countries？ ‎ A. There’s no time limit for their report articles．‎ B. They have no right to influence the readers’opinions．‎ C. A newspaper can come out with just a journalist working individually．‎ D. Journalists must submit their articles before the deadlines．‎ ‎31. Why are good reviews important to books？‎ A. Good reviews are excellent introduction to books．‎ B. Readers especially favor books with good reviews．‎ C. Good reviews can make readers feel relaxed and comfortable．‎ D. Good reviews can bring a large circulation of the books reviewed．‎ D It is very common that many students complain they lack concentration．For example, “I can’t concentrate．” “My mind wanders when I try to study．”‎ ‎ We all have the ability to concentrate．Think of the times when you were attracted to a super novel or the times when you were playing your guitar or piano．But at other times your mind races from one thing to another．Here are some tips．‎ ‎ Rest from time to time．Remember to take short breaks．Lectures are usually 50minutes long, and that’s about the length of time most people can direct their attention to one task．But that’s just an average．Your concentration time might be shorter （20-35minutes） or longer （perhaps 90minutes）．When you take a break, you get more oxygen to your brain! When we sit for long periods, blood tends to be pooled in our lower body and legs．Get up and walk around the room for a couple of minutes．As a result, more oxygen is carried to the brain and you can concentrate better．‎ ‎ If you study one subject for a long time, you may find it hard to concentrate．Many students improve their concentration by changing one subject to another every one to two hours．In this way you can pay more attention to something that’s different．‎ ‎ Reward yourself．Give yourself a reward when you’ve completed a task．The task might be small, such as staying with a difficult paper until you’ve finished．But giving yourself a reward can help you be more interested in doing other tasks．‎ ‎ Increase your activity level．Your concentration wanders more easily if you just read an article straight through．Instead, take the heading for each part and turn it into a question．For this part, that would be, “How can I increase my activity level while studying? ”Then study that part to answer that question．Do this routinely．The questions give us a focus for each part and increase our involvement（参与）．‎ ‎32. According to Paragraph 3，what’s the purpose of walking around？‎ A. To help us stay fit． B. To provide the brain with more oxygen．‎ C. To benefit our lower body． D. To increase our concentration time to 90minutes．‎ ‎33. What’s the best title for Paragraph 4？________‎ A. Study for one hour each time． B. Do something difficult．‎ C. Change subjects． D. Study in different ways．‎ ‎34. In the last paragraph，the writer suggests that________．‎ A. we just read the heading of some articles．‎ B. we do our best to read an article straight through．‎ C. we ask other people questions about the article we are reading．‎ D. we ask ourselves questions about what we are reading．‎ ‎35. The writer wrote the passage to________．‎ A. encourage us to try to concentrate．‎ B. give us the reasons for a lack of concentration．‎ C. teach us how to concentrate while studying．‎ D. list the benefits we can get from concentration． ‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从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。‎ Homework is a major part of going to school：It’s your teachers’way of evaluating how much you understand what’s going on in class．（36）____ Luckily，you can do a few things to make homework less burden．‎ Be sure you understand the homework．‎ Write your homework down in your notebook or day planner if you need to．（37） ____ It’s much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night!‎ Use any extra time in school．‎ Many schools have study halls that are specifically designed to allow students to study．It’s tempting（诱惑人的） to hang out with friends during study periods or unstructured （松散的） time．（38）________‎ Take a break．‎ ‎（39）________ So take some breaks while doing your homework．Sitting for too long without stretching or relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often．Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people．‎ ‎（40）________‎ If you don’t finish your homework during school，think about how much you have left and what else is going on that day，and then budget your time．Most high-school students have between 1and 3hours of homework a night．If it’s a heavy homework day and it seems like you’ve got an assignment in every subject but gym and lunch，you’ll need to devote more time to homework．It’s a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule，especially if you are involved in sports or activities or have an after-school job．‎ A．And it helps digest important concepts．‎ B．Once your homework is done，you can check over it if you have extra time．‎ C．Plan yourself．‎ D．But the more work you can get done in school，the less you’ll have to do that night．‎ E．Don’t be afraid to ask questions about what’s expected in your homework．‎ F．Settle down to homework．‎ G．Most people’s attention spans （跨度）aren’t very long．‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完型填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ A couple of weeks ago, my friend offered to sell some of our things for us．I thought it was ‎ a good opportunity to 41 my 7-year-old son’s room and 42 some toys that were no longer suitable for him to play with．We 43 that all the money we got from selling the toys would be his money．‎ ‎ The night before the 44 , we loaded up the truck with toys and a little bike that was too 45 for him．In the yard he 46 the bike for the last time and then happily put it onto the truck．This little bike had at least two previous owners as far as we 47 ．It wasn’t in the best 48 and was certainly not new, but the tires were 49 good．‎ We put a price of $10 on it, but it didn’t sell．So, after the sale was 50 , my friend put it on the sidewalk, with a sign that 51 “FREE BIKE”．Within five minutes her doorbell rang．A little boy was 52 there．In poor English he asked whether the bike was 53 free．She said yes and that he could have it for 54 ．He smiled, got on the bike and rode away．‎ ‎ Later that evening when I told my son how much money he had made at the sale, he was very 55 , shouting happily．He asked about a few of his things, wondering 56 they had been sold．When he asked about the bike, I told him about the little boy and that made him 57 He was much happier than when I told him how much he had 58 ．He was so happy to 59 that someone else would make good 60 of that little bike!‎ ‎（ ）41.

(in)doing sth.花费时间做某事，其中的介词in可以省略。所以本句中使用动名词staying。‎ ‎3．考查形容词。在英语中副词通常作状语修饰形容词、副词或动词，形容词通常作定语或表语修饰名词。所以本句使用形容词strong在句中和系动词be连用构成系表结构。‎ ‎4．考查连词。句意：白天的阳光很强烈，所以我们很容易被晒伤。上下文之间是顺接或因果关系，所以使用and/so连接上下文。‎ ‎5．考查固定搭配。a lot of许多，大量；该短语既可以修饰可数名词，也可以修饰不可数名词。短语a lot通常作状语。本句中a lot of修饰不可数名词fun。‎ ‎6．考查代词。根据文章第一句可知：我们要去军训。这样的军训对“我们”来说很艰难。所以要使用“us”作介词for的宾语。‎ ‎7．考查名词单复数。“soldier”是可数名词，本句中前面有all修饰，所以使用其复数形式soldiers。‎ ‎8．考查时态。句意：军营里的食物看起来很简单，但是尝起来很美味。根据后面的tasted可知，连词but前后时态应保持一致。‎ ‎9．考查连词。本句中使用what对名词短语happy days行感叹，how通常要对形容词副 词进行感叹。‎ ‎10．考查语态。本句主语the experience与动词make构成主动关系，故用主动语态。句意：我认为这次经历让我们更加坚强。‎ 书面表达（满分25分）‎ Dear Tom，‎ ‎ So glad to receive your mail．Since you’re interested in China’s National Day，I’m dropping you a few lines on it．‎ ‎ China’s National Day falls on October 1st，which celebrates the birth of the PRC on the same day in 1949．It is not only a day to celebrate but also a vacation for every Chinese to enjoy a seven-day break．Most people will plan a tour beforehand and then enjoy a relaxing holiday with friends or families．However，I’m Senior Three now and busy preparing for the entrance exam．So I only stayed at home , doing my homework during the vacation ．‎ ‎ You mentioned you’d like to come to China next year during the National Day．But as your friend，I advise you not to do so，for every place of interest will be crowded．It is wise to avoid the public holidays．‎ ‎ Look forward to your coming during the summer holiday！‎ ‎ Yours，‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Li Hua
