Most of us lead a busy life. Driven by the “urgent(紧急的)”, we forget to enjoy life. We think, “If I reach my goal, then I’ll be happy”, or “If I can get a better job, then I’ll enjoy life.” But why not enjoy life right now? Firstly, take time to notice and appreciate the beauty in your own surroundings; you don’t need to travel far to find beauty. “There is a great big world of wonder and beauty around us!” Andrea Brodersen explains. “Look for the beauty of the sunrise and of a friend’s smile that brightens your day. Open your eyes to see the beauty you might not normally see. Doing so helps to cheer you up.” Secondly, taking time to experience some simple pleasures also can bring joy to your heart and ease your stress. Take me for example. I delight in simple things like my favorite tea drink, a bubble bath or family photos. One common is finding things that make you laugh. Make time to laugh every day. Thirdly, don’t take your family and friends for granted. Rich, rewarding relationships add greatly to the enjoyment of life. When you think of someone, why not call, e-mail or write them? A short e-mail or phone call can make a world of difference to someone. As Wayne Lawton explains, “Invest time in relationships. Remove the attitude, what’s in it for me? Happiness is found in putting other’s interests, desires and concerns ahead of our own whenever possible. Selfishness is a dead-end street.” So please treasure relationship. 1.

When Han Duan started her professional career at 16, China’s national women’s football team was defeated in the final of the World Cup by the US. While she was asked to play in her first World Cup in 2003, she largely remained on the bench after the first match. But things have changed. Now, Han is one of the most important players in China’s team. “I can’t wait to play. Life is short. You must make the most out of it,” Han always says like that. Han wants every possible honor that a football player can get — an Asian Cup, a World Cup and an Olympic medal. She has always been good at sports, especially swimming and horizontal bars. At school, she was the fastest in the 60m and 100m. But the reason she picked football was that she wanted to get more compliments (称赞). “Football is for boys. But I feel more fulfilled when I can do better than them and win more compliments,” she said. Later, when she entered a football school, the coach always asked Han to show others what to do. However, nobody can be good at everything. Han described her singing as “howling” and the only school subject she was good at was Chinese. “I was very happy every time my essay was posted on the wall for my schoolmates to read.” But Han still has some regrets about her school years. Her handwriting was terrible at school. She ever wanted to improve her handwriting but didn’t achieve much. “My fans ask for my signature (签名), so I’d better practice and practice. It’s not too late,” she says. 1.In the World Cup in 2003, Han Duan was a(n) ______.
2.What does the underlined part in the second paragraph imply?
3.According to the passage, we know that Han Duan ________.
4.From the fourth paragraph, it can be inferred that Han Duan most probably ________.
5.What’s the best title of this passage?
About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman! There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green - a strange world indeed. Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color. Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us. 1.The passage is mainly about _____________.
2.According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can_______________.
3.Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?
4.Which of the statements about the color- blind is true?
5.We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a _____________.
l like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend. No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don't get along well, which doesn't mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places. There's more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people if those don't have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares, if someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself. 1.The first paragraph tells us __________.
2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
3.Which of the following is the most probable place people name after friendly people?
4.If people have friends, they would live longer, because __________.

The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare’s time is estimated(估计) to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms. In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate(足够的) working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation. The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West. 1.What would be the best title for this passage?
2.Which of the following statements is NOT true?
3.According to the passage, what is the main reason for the widespread use of English?
4.What forms an adequate working knowledge of English?
5.What type of developing countries would be most likely to use English?
6.C。细节题。根据文章最后一段倒数第2句可推知此题 Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening. One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own. Then, in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature. Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night. 1.Which of the following statements is NOT true?
2.One can use the same money for ________ to buy a little house with a garden in the country.
3.When the flowers and vegetables in the garden come up, those _______ have the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature.
4.People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that _______ if they had to live it outside London.
5.The underlined word rest in the last paragraph refers to ________.
6.C。推断题。根据其上文:这些人偶尔去公园散散步后去海边度两周假;本句接着说:其余的就留给那些每天晚上喜欢离开伦敦的人,那么,“其余的”显然指“其余的乡村”。从而可推知题 The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other for ever. He sent his camera crew(摄影组) out one evening to film the sunset for him. The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset?” “No, sir,” the men answered. The director was angry. “Why not?” he asked. “Well, sir,” one of the men answered, “we’re on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.” “But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.” But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why don’t you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards? Then it’ll look like a sunset.” “That’s a very good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said, “Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.” The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. Then at nine o’clock they took it to the director. “Here it is, sir,” they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased. They all went into the studio. “All right,” the director explained, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the ‘sunset’ behind them.” The “sunset” began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop. The birds in the film were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach. 1. One evening, the director sent his camera crew out _________.
2.Why did the director want to send his crew to the west coast?
3.The director wanted to film a sunset over the ocean because ______.
4.After the “sunset” began, the director suddenly put his face in his hands ______.
5.Which of the following is NOT true?
语法填空(共10小题,每小题1.5分,共15分) Learning English may be difficult for beginners. There are two 31 (base) stages to learn English. The first stage of learning this language would be very 32 (interest).

You just think of a sentence in your mother language, and try to set down the same sentence in English. There could be some mistakes, 35 you should not worry about it. You’d better write the same sentence by 36 (make) use of many different words till you are satisfied 37 your sentence. If you follow this way, very soon you can create sentences of your own. 38 second step is learning the grammar. Compared with 39 languages, English is quite simple and very systematic(系统化的).
