 “Wake up. Alicia is waiting for you outside,” my mother called from the kitchen. My mother didn’t like me going for this weekend to my friend’s house in the mountains. “I trust you, but I don’t trust the people out there,” she said seriously. “I’m going to be fine,” were my last words before closing the door of the Jeep. The vehicle went along the dusty road and my mother grew smaller in the distance.

The trip over the rough road was uncomfortable. It was scary to climb the steep hills surrounded by great pines. After a long trip we finally arrived at the house. From the moment I got there I knew I would forever love the house. It was decorated like an old country home. My room was small, yet set up nicely. That night I went to sleep early, not because I didn’t want to continue my search, but because I was tired after the long trip.

In the morning, the singing of the birds woke me up. The light was just getting through the window. A strong smell of baking and fresh coffee came from the kitchen. I wandered around looking for a living soul, but the house was empty. I had the whole day to myself; my friend had gone hiking. I didn’t want to go with her. The main reason for this trip was to spend some time alone to think about the events happening in my life.

After an icy shower, my energies were at their fullest. With basket in hand, I started my hunt. I did not mind walking alone; it was a wonderful feeling to be in contact with nature for the first time. The sound of the water running through the rocks gave me great peace. I never felt such independence in my soul before.

_{I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car—I worked out that, with the loan (贷款) we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month.}

_{And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.}

_{But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)}

_{My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.}

_{Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.}

_{25. The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______.}

_{A. most families chose to go car-free}         

_{B. he was hurt in a terrible car accident}

_{C. the cost of a new car was too much}        

_{D. the traffic jam was unbearable for him}

_{26. What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?}

_{A. Supportive.   B. Disapproving.   C. Optimistic.   D. Unconcerned.}

_{27. What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’ opinion?}

_{A. Argue against it.  B. Take their advice. C. Think it over.  D. Leave it alone.}

_{28. What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?}

   _{A. Life cannot go without a car.}             

_{B. Life without a car is a little bit hard.} 

   _{C. His life gets improved without a car.}       

_{D. A car-free life does not suit everyone.}

Eating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.

Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露)to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风)within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物)were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” (良好)quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.

The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.

1．The text mainly discusses the relationship between ______ .

A.heart problems and air quality	B.heart problems and exercising
C.heart problems and smoking	D.heart problems and fatty food

2．The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______ .

A.relatively high

B.extremely low

C.relatively low

D.extremely high

3．The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to _______.

A.describe

B.persuade

C.inform

D.entertain

What about your school life？Would you like to share it with me? I’m looking forward to your reply.

Yours

There is a popular saying in the English: “language: Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Well, that is not true. Unkind words, name-calling of even the so-called “the silent treatment” can hurt children as much as being physically hit sometimes even more so.  
       A recent study of middle school children showed that verbal (言语的) abuse by other children can harm development in  the brain. The study was a project of researchers at Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts.Researcher 

Martin Teicher and his team studied young adults, aged 18 to 25. These young men and women had not ever been treated in a cruel or violent way by their parents. The researchers asked the young people to rate their childhood exposure to verbal abuse from both parents and other children. Then the researchers performed imaging tests on the brains of the subjects.
       The images showed that the people who reported suffering verbal abuse from peers in middle school had underdeveloped connections between the left and right side of the brain. The two sides of the brain are connected by a large bundle of connecting fibers called the corpus callosum. This was the area that was underdeveloped.
       The middle school years are a time when these brain connections are developing. So, unkind, hurtful comments from children or adults during this period have the greatest effect. The researchers tested the mental and emotional condition of all the young people in the study. The tests showed that this same group of people had higher levels of fear, depression, anger and drug abuse than others in the study. The researchers published their findings online on the American Journal of Psychiatry’s website. Parents cannot control what other people say to their children, but they can prepare their children.

1. Why does the author use the popular saying at the beginning?

A. To show the power of words. 

B. To introduce an opposite view.

C. To prove the author’s argument. 

D. To show ancient people’s wisdom.

2. What did the subjects have in common?

A.They were hurt by unkind words.

B. They performed poorly in imaging tests.

C. They had their brain slightly damaged.

D. They experienced no physical abuse at home.

3. What will be discussed in the next paragraph?

A. Comments on the findings.

B. Approaches to further studies.

C. Suggestions to parents.

D. Different opinions on the matter.

4. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. The way we speak matter.

B. Verbal violence should be stopped

C. Unkind words hurt the brain.

D, Words are worse than sticks and stones.

 “Now stretch over your right leg!” my dance teacher yells over the music. “If it doesn't hurt, you're not trying hard enough. Hold that stretch for 30 seconds!" My dance teacher works hard to form us into the dancers we desire to be. In order for this to occur, we stretch hard a lot!

Dancing is a real passion of many people, including me. I work hard to make myself better, and prove that I am good enough. Performing a dance routine is more than just a performance. Dancers tell stories when they dance. It is a way for us to express our personal feelings. Just letting go and letting your body move with the music can create your emotions. Dance tells us things that our mind secretly hides.    

“Get up and do it again!  You need to keep your spirits up!” Even though I am completely worn out after my dances, I love to hear those words. It gives me a sense of relief knowing that I can again express my feelings out on the floor.    

“Practice makes perfect! Come on. We have a competition this weekend, and we need to work harder!” Competitions are the best possible example of fun. For a dancer, life cannot get better than competitions. The thrill of losing yourself onstage is a rush of energy rushing through your body! The feeling is unexplainable. As you sit there putting on your makeup, fixing your hair, and putting on your costume, the rush just gradually grows until it is ready to be released onstage.     

Finally the time comes to tell your story. Standing backstage waiting for your name to be called is one of the scariest moments. You are ready to show the world what you are capable of and what you have been perfecting for a while. Once your number is called, you walk out onstage. The applause at the end tells each dancer that their story has been received, and that the dance has been brought to life.  

24. What does the author's dance teacher require her to do during the dance class?  

A. Build up her confidence.             B. Keep encouraged and cheerful.  

C. Train her body to the fullest.          D. Understand the music.

25. How does the author understand dancing according to the text?

A. It is a good way to release stress.  

B. It takes talent, confidence and patience to dance well.  

C. It is no more than a performance with our bodies.  

D. It is a way to show our personal emotions.

26. As far as the author is concerned, a dance competition means             .      

A. an improvement in her life.            B. an opportunity to have fun.  

C. a reflection of her perfect thoughts.      D. a way to experience the scariest moment.

27. What would be the best title for the text?  

A. Bringing dance to life                 B. Training for competitions  

C. Dancers' special feelings               D. Encouragement from my teacher

 I found a piece of paper on my desk ________ “Stupid Sarah got a D!”

  A. said            B. which saying     C. say         D. saying

   Every morning Steve went to work by train. As he has a long tr，he always buys newspaper. It helps make the time passing more quickly. One Tuesday morning，he turned over the sports page. He wanted to see the report about an important football match the night before. The report was so interesting that he forgot to get off at his station. He did not know it unless he saw the sea. He got off at the next station，but had to wait a long time for a train to go back. It was no doubt that he arrived late at the office. His boss was angry when Steve told to him why he was late.“Work is very important than football!” he  shouted.

This is a true story which happened in the States.   61   man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was   62   (happy) hammering dents(凹痕) into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp(果浆汁) as   63   (punish). When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital.

  Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to cut the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy   64   (wake) up from the operation and saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, “Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck,   65    when are my fingers going to grow back?”

The father went home and committed suicide.

Think about this story the next time someone steps on your   66   (foot) or you wish to take revenge(报复). Think first   67   you lose your patience with someone you love. Trucks can be repaired, but   68  (break) bones and hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is   69  (great) than revenge.

People make mistakes. We   70   (allow) to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will impress us forever.

Before I left my hometown to come to study in England, I was partly terrified, and mostly I was excited. I was travelling all on my own to a place that I didn't know any person at all. I couldn't even say the language well, but I wasn't going to let that stop me. Within a few month after arriving in London, I fall in love with the city. I met some of the most amazing people from all over the world. I wasn't quite preparing for the culture shock of a different place at the beginning of. But after one and half years, I am accustomed to living there. Now I realize our views and ideas have changed completely in this country.              

Sir Henry Stewart was certainly successful. I asked one day, soon after he’d retired to attend his garden, what it was like to have achieved all of one’s ambitions. He looked down at his roses, and went on watering them. Then he said, “The only value in achieving one’s ambitions is that you then realize that they are not worth achieving. ” Within a moment we were back to a safe discussion on the weather. That was two years ago.

I recall this incident, for yesterday, I was passing his house, and had drawn up my cart just outside his garden wall. I had pulled in from the road for no other reason than to let a bus pass me. As I set there filling my pipe, I suddenly heard a shout of sheer joy come from the other side of the wall.

I looked over. There stood Sir Henry doing nothing less than a dance of pure unashamed delight. Even when he observed my puzzled face staring over the wall he did not seem embarrassed, but shouted to me to climb over.

“Come and see, Jan. Look! I have done it at last! I have done it at last!”

There he was , holding a small box of earth in his hand. I observed three tiny shoots out of it.

“And there were only three!” he said, his eye laughing to heaven.

“Three what?” I asked.

“Peach stones”, he replied. “I’ve always wanted to make peach stones grow, ever since I was a child, when I used to take them home after a party, or as a man after a banquet. And I used to plant them, and forget where I planted them. But now at last I have done it , and , what’s more, I had only three stones, and there they are, one, two, three shoots,” he counted.

And Sir Henry ran off, calling for his wife to come and see his achievement—the achievement of simplicity.

21．The main idea of this passage probably is            

A．great achievements can bring comfort        B．real joy comes from simple things．

C．gardening is a pleasure                    D．one’s best life comes after retiring

22．What was Sir Henry’s attitude towards success?

A．Delightful             B．Valuable           C．Worthless         D．Suffering

23．What was the writer doing when he heard the shout of joy from Sir Henry?

A．Preparing to smoke.                      B．Repairing the pipe  

C．Drawing up his cart                      D．Staring at the garden.

24．What did Sir Henry do when he saw the writer?                          

A．He felt ashamed about his behavior         B．He invited the writer to climb over to share his joy.

C．He called his wife to join them.            D．He ran away with the three shoots

Xinhua News---The Beijing government has set out to recruit thousands of university graduates to work as junior officials in rural areas to both improve rural administration and ease the city’s employment problems.

    The government plans to recruit 3,000 university graduates this year, 1,000 more than last year, to work as assistants to village heads or party secretaries in suburban areas.

    People interested in jobs in Beijing’s rural villages and towns can send applications to Beijing Municipal Bureau of Personnel or log on to www.bjbys.com from February 1 through March 15.

“We hope university graduates will seize this opportunity to use their knowledge in rural villages and to start their careers,” Sun Zhenyu, the Deputy Director of Beijing Personnel Bureau, told Xinhua News Agency.

    The government has promised successful candidates a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan in the first year, 2,500 yuan the second year and 3,000 the third year, provided their performance is up to the required standards, Sun said.

    Wang Lina, who graduated from Beijing Union University last year, was one of the first graduates to find work in the city’s countryside. After majoring in Industial and Commercial Administration, Wang served as the assistant to the village head of Ertiaojie Village in suburban Beijing’s Pinggu District. For one project, Wang contacted people at Beijing Academy of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences and arranged for the local farmers to receive training in strawberry planting. Her efforts paid off. The village had a plentiful harvest of organic strawberries earlier this year.

    Nationwide, about 150,000 university graduates found employment in rural areas last year, according to the figures provided by the Ministry of Education.

The ministry predicts that 4.95 million students will graduate from universities across the country this year, 820,000 more than last year. About 1.4 million of them are unlikely to find jobs when they graduate.

    In Beijing, a record of 200,000 people are expected to graduate from university this year. Less than half of them are expected to be offered jobs, according to Beijing Personel Bureau.

32. From the story of Wang Lina we can learn that _________.

33. The underlined word “recruit” in the first paragraph probably means _________.

     A. force                B. employ                  C. encourage                 D. train

     A. it is not easy for graduates to find jobs nowadays

     B. more and more graduates will work as junior officials

     C. the universities should not enroll so many students

     D. there are more and more jobs provided by the Ministry of Education

   Trying to come to a decision completely on your own can be risky. Some decisions are very important that they shouldn’t be made without talking to others first. There are several advantages if you consult the persons you trust. For one thing, they can give you valuable advices and they may point out some things you may have overlooked them. For another, friends may stop you make big mistakes.

   When consult others about important decisions, you should keep two things on mind. The first one is that you need find someone whom you respected enough to trust his or her judgment. The second thing to consider is what to do if you disagree with this person. Maybe turning to the third or fourth person for help is a good choice. In a word, making any big decision alone can lead to problems. Talking to friends or family members first are always a good idea.

They do have a different          to the problem of overpopulation．

A．solution             B．opinion 

C．decision             D．conclusion
