Keeping pace with teachers is a fine way to study English.Teachers are experienced and their plans are systematic.But remember to work in a way that suits you.It's important to learn from past mistakes as well.Keep a notebook to make a record of the mistakes you make－it'll help you avoid making the same ones later.

The time of life may be hard，but you're not alone.You may be busy studying，but you can show your care by calling your friends or sending short messages.Don't let your friendships die.

It's as important to live well as it is to study well.Going to bed no later than 11：30 pm is vital.It puts you in the right mood for the next day.You needn't follow a special diet，but make sure you are eating nutritious meals each day.

The person who plays well，studies well.Having a lot of schoolwork doesn't mean having to give up other activities.Playing basketball or having a talk with your classmates can relax yourself.Time_out is not a waste of time but helps you study more efficiently.

Besides taking the big exam，you have other choices for college.I took the independent enrollment exam held by Peking University and some other students even were preparing to study abroad.Pay attention to any relevant information you can find，whether it's from school，the news media or other sources.

     Interest is a kind of power that can drive people learn actively and happily. And it also makes learning more effective and efficiently.

     I really appreciate the opinion. I begin to be crazy about English when I was a little boy. And I got interested in foreign culture and customs in particular to meet my curiosity. I read English stories，listened to English songs and watched English films on every day, all of that even seemed to be the “meal” of my daily life. As the result, I always did very well in English exams.

     In a word，interesting is the key to success. Anyone who are interested in something will devote himself to them.

Jack Evans quarreled with his neighbour，Ellen Brown. Mrs. Brown had a dog. Jack did not like dogs. He wanted Mrs. Brown to give away or sell her dog，but she refused.

“I'll take you to court if you don't，” he said.

Mrs. Brown laughed at him. She was not worried.

Jack thought，“I must talk to a lawyer，but lawyers are expensive. I don't want to waste my money. I will waste it if I don't win my case against Mrs. Brown and her dog.”

Then Jack had an idea. There was a young lawyer in the town. He did not have much work. Not many people knew about him. “I'll visit him，” Jack thought. “He needs work.” He visited the young lawyer in his office. “I need some advice，” he said.

“Certainly，” the young lawyer said. “What is your problem？ I am here to help you.”

“Good. I want to take my neighbour to court. However，I will pay for your advice only if you think I will win the case in court.”

The lawyer was not pleased by this suggestion. However，he had very little work. Here was a chance to get some.

“All right，” he said. “I agree. I will listen to your problem. I will give you honest advice. You will pay me only if I think you can win in court.”

Jack told him about the problem. The lawyer listened carefully. Sometimes he made notes. When Jack finished，the lawyer sat back in his chair and said，“You will win your case. I have no doubt about it. May I take your case to court？”

Jack stood up and walked towards the door. “No，thank you,” he said. “I will not take it to court.”

“What about my fee？” the lawyer asked. “You have to keep your promise.”

“I am keeping my promise，” Jack said. “I will not win in court. You see，I did not tell you my case. I told you Mrs. Brown's.”

    However, as we return to post-vacation life,a harder test begins: Can I continue when I'm back at work?

     There are times when the need to know what's being said right now is great. I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely. But 1 hope to resist the temptation to check my e-mail every five minutes, which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two.

Health officials in Canada are very busy these days. They are placing chickens at fixed points all along their border with the United States of America. They are using these chickens to see if the deadly West Nile virus exists in their country. The virus spreads to birds, so they think that the chickens have a good chance of catching the virus.

The Canadians are worried because the West Nile virus is passed to humans by mosquitoes. It killed seven people in New York last year. Countries around the world are realizing something important—it may just be possible to stop certain kinds of people from entering their land; but it is very difficult to try and stop viruses that travel from one end of the earth to another. When they travel to new places, they adjust very easily to those climates and sometimes start destroying the local plant and animal life. These biological polluters are called smart polluters.

These smart polluters can be carried across borders of countries unknowingly. Just as we humans are travelling across the globe more often than earlier, these biological polluters have also started journeying much more. They travel in many things carried from one country to another.

 There are some good examples of how these polluters work. The water hyacinth(水葫芦) of South America is filling lakes in China and Africa. Tree snakes from Papua New Guinea are busy eating up bird in the country of Guam, which is quite far away. Tiger mosquitoes from Asia are busy biting Americans.

Suddenly, a lot of things become clearer. Like why the customs(海关) officials in many foreign countries prevent you from bringing in a small plant, they tell you that it’s in the rules. They have these rules because they know that these kinds of plants that are special to specific places have the power to spread new diseases among native plants and animals. They are called biological polluters and they always create problems in places where they do not belong . They could be special kinds of plants of animals.

28. According to the text, the West Nile virus______.

   A. has existed in Canada          B. is dangerous to humans

   C. spreads from birds to humans    D. is unable to survive in cold climates

29. What’s the characteristic of smart polluters?

   A. They are quite tiny

   B. They are as smart as humans.

   C. They travel with people around the world

   D. They get used to the new environment easily

30. The purpose of the examples in Paragraph 4 is to show that_____.

   A. a certain kind of mosquito can cause death

   B. biological polluters have traveled around the world

   C. it’s impossible to bring biological polluters to an end

   D. plants as well as animals can damage the environment

31. Why are plants not allowed to be taken to a foreign country?

   A. They can’t adjust to the new climates

   B. They can’t live together with the native plants

   C. They will destroy the balance of the local nature

   D. They may spread a certain virus to the native plants.

On the night of November 14, 1978, a six-year-old Korean boy was flying to the United States. All he knew was that he was on a plane heading for somewhere. The plane landed at Kennedy International Airport, where he was greeted by a family. This young boy was me.

I have grown up in a town where there were few Asians, so I stuck out in the crowd. I made friends quickly and they treated me just like anyone else. You may ask if anyone made fun of my appearance. Well, of course, I met that kind of person. I just shrugged it off.

As an adopted child, I have something that others don't have. I have had the benefit of two families. I'm lucky to have got a chance to start a new life. But we must try never to forget our past. Someday I will go back to Korea to find out what kind of culture I left behind.

There is only one thing that I regret about being adopted. When I argue with my parents and they realize they are losing the argument, they sometimes wonder what I would be doing if I were back in Korea. I don't understand this because I thought the purpose of adopting someone was to give them a better chance of growing up in a family. Some day when I am older, I want to adopt a girl and raise her the way my parents have raised me, but I would do it better, for I know what went well and what did not.

Once upon a time, there was a woman baking bread for members of her family and an extra one for a hungry passer-by. She always kept the extra bread on the window-sill, for whoever would   41   it away.

Everyday, an old man   42   and took away the bread without   43   gratitude. This went on, day after day, and the woman felt very   44   . In order to punish him, she decided to add   45   to the bread she   46   for him! As she was about to   47  it on the window-sill, her hands trembled.

Immediately she threw the bread   48   the fire, prepared another one and kept it on the window-sill.  49  , the old man came, picked up the bread and left, totally unaware of the anger in the heart of the woman

That evening, there was a   50   on the door. As she opened it, she was   51   to find her son standing in the doorway. He had gone to a distant place to   52   his fortune. For many months she had heard no news of him.

Looking at his mother he said   53   , “Mom, it’s truly   54   I’m here. My business   55   so I had to beg for food on my way home. I would have died this morning, but just then an old man passed by. He was   56   enough to give me the whole bread.” As he gave it to me, he said, “This is what I eat everyday. Today, I shall give it to you, for your   57   is greater than mine.”

As the mother   58   those words, her face turned pale and red. She   59   the poisoned bread that she had made that morning. If she had not burnt it in the fire, it would have been eaten by her own son, and he would have   60   his life!

    Lots of kids hate school, a new study found. Usually this kind of feeling doesn't last long. But what happens if you feel this way too much? School is a fact of life and getting a good education can help you build the kind of future life you want. So let's talk about school and what to do when you don't like it.

    If you don't like school, the first step is to find out why. You might not like school because you don't have enough friends, or maybe you don't get along with your teacher. Sometime it's a big problem with your classes and school-work. You may be getting farther and farther behind, and it may seem like you'll never catch up.

   When you know why you don't like school, you can start taking steps to make things better. It's a good idea to talk to someone about your problems with school. Your mum, dad, teacher or school counselor will be able to help you. Another good idea is to write down your feelings about school in a notebook. It's a great way to let out emotions. Remember, you don't have to share what you've written with others.

46. Lots of kids         , according to the writer.

     A. like school very much         B. are good at reading and writing

     C. don't like doing homework     D. have the thought of hating school

47. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the first paragraph?

We’ve always limited “screen time” at home: on screen time before two years of age, and only occasional educational DVDs after that. Researchers have found a connection between screen time and a host of behavioral and physical problems. Some children have become so addicted to iPads and other tablet devices(平板电脑装置)that their parents have even sought out treatment.

So, should I be perturbed about the increasing dependence on technology in our schools? In addition to a weekly computer class, my first-grade daughter spends much of her instructional school day(教学日)in front of the “smart board”. And now, school districts across the country are talking about replacing textbooks with tablets.

There are several factors(因素)that need careful consideration. Important distinctions must be drawn between television screen time(yes, even educational programming), which is a mostly passive medium, and tablet screen time, which is more interactive(互动的). Another important factor is the age of the child. All people need human interaction, but babies and small children need it most of all. Studies have suggested that tablets may help improve reading and writing abilities in school-age children, however, plus they help children with autism(孤独症)communicate.

Tablets in the classroom could replace expensive and heavy textbooks, allow children to make and read notes more easily, provide interactive functions and help track(追踪)progress. When I was a child, I could hardly carry my backpack---we could avoid a lot of back problems by using one light and thin tablet instead of huge textbooks.

Beyond common concerns(what happens if the tablet is lost, stolen or broken?), I do worry that we are rushing toward a brave new world of technology without considering what we might lose. If our children spend too much time on tablets, they run the risk of becoming addicted and missing out on a lot of what the world has to offer, especially in a time when schools are cutting are, music, and gym. Human brains need real-world connections. Tablets can be a part of a child’s education, but we have to guard against these devices taking over.

28. The underlined word “perturbed” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to”________”.

A. curious           B. happy            C. excited              D. worried

29. According to Paragraph 3, allowing very young children to use tablets________.

A. is worth a try

B. may be harmful

C. helps improve their learning skills

D. offers them more human interactions

30. The author mentions her childhood experience to________.

A. express her support for traditional education

B. stress the importance of taking notes

C. show the disadvantages of textbooks

D. describe her happy childhood

31. Which may be the author’s opinion on tablets?

A. They’re helpful only in a limited way.

B. They are too expensive for most students.

C. They excite students’ interest in learning.

D. They improve the effectiveness of education.

 One of the most recent social changes taking place in the world is social networking.Social networking has been in existence for at least 150 years, and probably longer than that. In the times before the invention of the computer and the World Wide Web (WWW), social networking was done in person. People who had similar likes and interests would gather together to share experiences, make new friends, and improve their businesses.

   On the Internet, social networking websites made their first appearances during the late 1990s. The first major social networking website in the United States was MySpace. MySpace allowed its users to exchange messages, share pictures, and make new friends in a way that was never thought of in the past. With MySpace, people who did not go out much could reach out to others from their own homes.

   In 2004, Facebook was created. It was first a website created for use by Harvard University’s students and teachers, but it soon expanded to include just about everyone. It is now larger than some of the largest companies in the world. It is a website that is changing all the time. Facebook has completely changed the way people stay connected with each other and the rest of the world. The way it works is simple. Users can set up a new account (账户) easily. All a new user needs is an email address to start. Once a person has created an account and his friend also has his own Facebook page, he can invite his friend by sending a request out to him. Once you get started, making new friends will come easily.

32. What can we learn about social networking?

  A. It is not a new development.

  B. It made World Wide Web famous.

  C. It appeared because of the computers.

  D. It helped people develop new interests.

33 What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

  A. MySpace is less famous than Facebook.

  B. MySpace greatly changed people’s lives.

  C. MySpace led to the appearance of Facebook.

  D. MySpace was improved by Harvard University’s students.

34.. What do new users of Facebook need to create an account?

  A. An email address.                  B. His friend’s help.

  C. High-speed network.            D. His friend’s Facebook page.

35. What does the passage mainly tell us?

  A. The way to be a Facebook user.

  B. The importance of social networking.

  C. Two important social networking websites.

  D. The differences between MySpace and Facebook.

Can you imagine your doctor warning that taking a bath could be unhealthy? In the early 1800s, many doctors thought that bathtubs could carry diseases, so they advised against their use. The advice wasn’t based on personal experience, because few of the doctors owned bathtubs（浴缸，澡盆）. The White House did not even have a bathtub until 1851.

 In the 19th century, only one home out of six had a bathroom. A child took only one bath a week. On Saturday nights, children all lined up for their turns to wash in a wooden bathtub in the kitchen. Mothers had to boil the water on the stove（火炉） and carry it over to fill the bathtub. It’s no wonder that children could not jump into a bathtub as they do today.

 When the first bathtubs were introduced, even their makers weren’t sure whether the new fashion would last. They advertised their products as water containers that “could be used as bathing tubs”.

The bathtub became popular in America shortly after World War I. By then most middle-class families had indoor taps. At first most bathtubs were made of wood, but as the popularity of the product increased, so did the creativity of bathtub makers. Before porcelain(瓷) bathtubs there were rubber ones like the plastic swimming pools kids use today. In the past few years owners often invited guests to see them. They told their friends how wonderful baths in these bathtubs could be.

 Now doctors no longer warn that bathtubs carry diseases. Instead, they tell their patients about the benefits of frequent bathing in the bathtubs. Maybe one of the best reasons why doctors encourage frequent trips to the bathtub is that bathed patients smell better!

24. Many doctors in the past were against using bathtubs because ______.

A. they didn’t have their own bathtubs

B. they thought bathtubs could carry diseases

C. the children might hurt themselves in the bathtubs

D. bathtubs were too expensive for the common families

25. Why couldn’t children jump into a tub in the 19th century as they do today?

A. It was unhealthy to do so.      B. Doctors advised them not to.

C. Mothers were always busy.     D. There were few bathtubs.

26. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______.

A. all the doctors have bathtubs in their homes

B. the doctors have realized the advantages of bathtubs

C. the doctors will make lots of money by advertising bathtubs

D. the patients should take a bath before going to see a doctor

27. The passage is mainly about _______.

A. the wrong opinions on bathtubs

B. The benefits of bathing

C. The new development of bathtubs.

D. The history of bathtubs

I took our foreign teacher Mr. Brown, he came to China for the first time, to the Great Wall in last weekend. Having told about the history of the Great Wall, he was amazing at this world wonder. He was struck by the beautiful of the Great Wall. So I took photo of him, which would be a good memory for him. At the top, Mr. Brown was very interested in the activity of protecting the environment that he was eager to join in and sign his name. Both the Great Wall and the Chinese people deep impressed him. He decided to visit more places of interest when free.

My sister and I grew up in a little village in England. Our father was a struggling 21, but I always knew he was  22 . He never criticized us, but used 23 to bring out our best. He’d say, “If you pour water on flowers, they flourish. If you don’t give them water, they die.” I  24 as a child I said something  25  about somebody, and my father said, “ 26 time you say something unpleasant about somebody else, it’s a reflection of you.” He explained that if I looked for the best 27 people, I would get the best 28.
