In those days the 22 seemed to shine always brightly 23 the water was always warm. Sometimes we 24 beach and walked in the country, exploring(搜寻) ruined houses and dark woods and climbing trees.

三、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

A

We all long for friendship, but how to make a friend? ―The best time to make a friend is before you need one.‖ Joy Steven said. The following are some tips for you.

People equal friends

Friends usually begin with strangers. Getting in touch with other people is the first step to make a friend. Friends can’t be made in empty air. Best friends take time to make.

Friends understand friends

Friends understand each other when talking. Many unpleasant personal quarrels can be avoided if you will take the time to understand others’ feelings and points of view.

Friends touch friends

Touching is a warm from of communication between friends. When you see best friends communicating, you will notice them stand close together, touch each other comfortably and listen to each other. Sometimes a friendly touch is more powerful than words.

Friends praise friends

Praise is a powerful tool to make a friend. Honest praise can affect (影响) your friends’ lives. So try to praise your friends, including your general ones.

Friends can be loyal (忠诚的) and trustworthy

Trust and loyalty go hand in hand for friends. Friends can share secrets with you, because good friends never break confidence (信心) and are loyal forever.

36. From Joy Steven’s words, we can conc lude that ________.

A. a friend in need is a friend indeed

B. it is never too late to make a friend

C. it is late to make a friend when you need one

D. everyone needs a friend in his life

37. To make and keep many friends, you need to do the following EXCEPT ___________.

A. get in touch with people

B. understand your friends

C. praise your friends

D. quarrel with your friends

38. The passage mainly tells us ______________.

A. how to communicate with a friend

B. how to develop friendship

C. when to make a friend

D. how to praise a friend

B

Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.

If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.

Communication begins with the concerns (关心) of another. It means that you can’t just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore (不理睬) everyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.

If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance(表达)of information, correspondence(通信), means of communication: a letter or a message”. To maintain (保持) a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note.

When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make the m see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.

This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, not when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.

Communicati on isn’t a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel---listening is the key factor to communication.

39. In the writer’s view, dealing with parents is __________ than wi th children.

A. more difficult

B. easier

C. more uninteresting

D. more interesting

40. The main idea of the second paragraph is __________.

A. the importance of friendship

B. to make your feeling known to others

C. the importance of communication

D. the disagreement between generations

41. When parents and children are in communication, the key to a happy relationship is that __________.

A. children should always obey their parents

B. they should be equal

C. parents play the leading part

D. both make the opposite know their feelings

42. The example in this passage proves that ___________.

A. Sophie’s parents are willing to listen to her

B. Sophie is very polite to her parents

C. Sophie did well in explaining her being late

D. communication is the solution to misunderstanding

C

When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”. My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.

One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up (咬破) one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl,” she looked down at the groun d and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.

Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet, she went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she’d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked (吠) or tried to get away. The funny thing is that she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.

Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss days when she was with us.

43. What would Brownie do when someone was ill in the family?

A. Look at them sadly.

B. Keep them company.

C. Play games with them.

D. Touch them gently.

44. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that Brownie__________.

A. would eat anything when hungry

B. felt sorry for her mistake

C. loved playing hide-and-seek

D. disliked the author’s dad

45. Some people got frightened by Brownie when she__________.

A. smiled

B. barked

C. rushed to them

D. tried to be funny

46. Which of the following best describes Brownie?

A. Shy

B. Polite

C. Brave

D. Caring

D

I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.

With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot wri te without loving to read, because only through reading other people’s writing can one discover what works, what doesn’t and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.

Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品). As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter—the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

47. What can be inferred about the author as a child?

A. He never watched TV.

B. He read what he had to.

C. He found reading unbelievable.

D. He considered reading part of his life.

48. The underlined word “voice” in the second paragraph most probably means “”.

A. an idea

B. a sound quality

C. a way of writing

D. a world to write about

49. What effect does reading have on the author?

A. It helps him to realize his dream.

B. It opens up a wider world for him.

C. It makes his college life more interesting.

D. It increases his interest in worldwide travel.

50. Which of the following can be the best title of this text?

A. Why do I read?

B. How do I read?

C. What do I read?

D. When do I read?

52. When I was i____________ of the exciting news, I jumped with joy.

53. A bird was caught in the net and was s____________ to get free. Jim rushed to help it out.

54. Good after-sales service is one of the most important keys to improving customer s_________.

55. When someone asks what the main c____________ of sea water is, what comes into your mind first may be salt.

56. He is not a good doctor because he is short of e （经验）.

57. In order to become ____________（流利的）in any foreign language, you require years of practice and study.

Five tips to deal with stress

Stress, the biggest enemy of the modern world ! It kidnaps our peace of mind, tortures our evenings when we return home from work and murders those beautiful moments. But like all enemies, this enemy can also be got rid of !

Put your body in motion.

Moving from the chair to the couch while watching TV is not being physically active! Physical activity is one of the most important ways to keep stress away by clearing your head and lifting your spirits. Physical activity also increases endorphin levels--- the natural “feel-good” chemicals.

Laugh

Some say that laughter is the best medicine---well, in many cases, it is! Do you know that it takes 15 facial muscles to laugh? Lots of laughing can make you feel good--- and, that good feeling can stay with you even after the laughter stops. So, head off stress with regular doses of laughter by watching a funny movie or cartoons, reading a joke book, or even make up your own riddles…laughter can make you feel like a new person!

Everyone has those days when they do something really silly or stupid. Instead of getting upset with yourself, laugh out loud! No one’s perfect! Life s hould be about having fun. So, lighten up! Have fun with friends.

Being with people you like is always a good way to get rid of your stress. Get a group together to go to the movies or play a board game---or just hang out and talk. Friends can help you work through your problems and let you see the brighter side of things.

Spill(发泄) to someone you trust.

Instead of keeping your feelings bottled up inside, talk to someone you trust or respect about what’s bothering you. It could be a friend, a parent, someone in your family, or a teacher. Talking out your problems and seeing them from a different view might help you figure out ways to deal with them. Just remember, you don’t have to let it alone!

Lend a hand.

Get involved in an activity that helps others. It’s almost impossible to feel stressed out when you’re helping someone else. It’s also a great way to find out about yourself and the special qualities you never knew you had! Signing up for a service project is a good idea, but helping others is as easy as saying hello, holding a door, or volunteering to keep a neighbor’s pe t. The feeling you will get from helping others is greater than you can imagine!

In conclusion, remember, you’re not alone---everyone has stresses in their lives…it’s up to you

六、书面表达（20分）

One possible version:

Should students make friends online?

Some people say yes. The Internet helps students make many friends. Chatting online, students can express their feelings and opinions more freely and even get help with their foreign language studies.

Others, however, think students should not make online friends. They think it a waste of time to make friends online, which should be spent more meaningfully on their studies. Otherwise, their normal studies will be much affected. Besides, some students may even get cheated online.

From my point of view, making friends online is harmful rather than helpful. Students should think of their study, health and safety first. As for friendship, we can easily find it in our classmates and other people around us. (115words)

Hi! Rob and Sally,

Time flies, especially when it’s a good time!

I’m now back in Brisbane, refreshed after a s ound sleep.

We came to the moment when we had to say good-bye to each other before I actually realized it. The moment I reached your home, I couldn’t help associating your living surroundings with a beautiful garden in our country where many people (especially senior citizens) flock to relax or exercise. But actually in China it seems like a dream for people to have such a habitat, with countless trees, flowers and various grass surrounding. Honestly, I can remember that I have only ever read about it in a fairy tale.

To you, my friend, I owe a great debt of heartfelt appreciation for not only providing us with an excellent exploration of quite a different exotic culture and specific customs, but also presenting us a feast for our eyes, allowing us to learn a lot from you---- the true love between you and Sally, our friendly hostess; fine qualities of hard work and kindness; considerate care and help for others, just to name a few.

Thanks for the many times you took trouble to take us to and pick us from lots of different places---shopping centres, schools, and some scenic spots. And thank you for the delicious dishes you made for us. At each dinner, you always took into account Chinese flavour, which made us feel at home. The most impressive on e is “Christmas pudding”, a mouth-watering dish that Sally elaborately made for us.

And then comes the unforgettable occasion--- a night club in another town, through which we learned a lot about a typical Aussie life. It is really, really a dream place for elderly people to while away the time. From the figure games, from the stage performance, from the smiles, from the laughter, from the whistles, applause, etc, it takes little mental labour for us to find what a happy life you were living. I nearly could not hide my jealousy.

Before I come to the end of my email, I’d like to say to you, my friends, Rob and Sally,that more walking less driving; more fruit less cigarettes; more leisure less work, and you’ll make more out of life and enjoy more of life.

It’s really an experience I’ll treasure forever.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Waiting to see our pictures.

Yours

Whisky

36. Which of the following can not be used to describe Rob and Sally?

Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.

The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance. In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money.

At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance. The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.

Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works. Allowances give children a chance to experience the things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save and maybe even invest it.

Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future.

40. The purpose of an allowance is _________.

A. help children learn from experience early before financial mistakes are costly.

B. let children buy what they want

Solar water heaters are used around the world and are not very difficult to build. The system we are going to describe is based on a design developed some years ago in Afghanistan. Since then, it has been built and used in many countries.

It can heat 70 liters of water to sixty degrees Celsius. It can do this between sunrise and noon on a clear day with an average air temperature of 32 degrees Celsius.

There are 2 parts to the solar water heater. One part is made of a sheet of metal painted black. Black surfaces become hotter in the sun than surfaces painted any other color. This black metal plate is called a collector. The collector is placed in contact with the water. There are several kinds of metal sheets that can be used for the collector. Corrugated metal will work very well. Corrugated sheets are often used as roofs on housing. Once the water is heated, it is kept hot with insulation material. This allows the water to stay warm for a long time.

The second part of the solar water heater holds the water for the system. This storage tank can be a container that holds about 100 liters. Two rubber pipes are attached to the water storage tank. One pipe lets water flow into the system. The other lets water flow out.

When the water heater is working correctly, water will flow from the storage tank to the collector and back again. You can use the hot water at the top of the tank for washing and cleaning. You can change the flow of water so that the temperature is hot or warm as desired. This solar water heater is easy to build and operate. It will last about 2 years before the rubber pipes need to be replaced.

There is also something else you will need to make the solar water heater work -- the sun. As you might expect, the heater will heat water only on sunny days.

44. Which of the following is not one of the advantages of a solar water heater?

A. It is easy to build and operate.

B. It can hold a lot of water and keep water warm for a long time.

C. It depends on weather condition.

D. You can change the flow of water so that the temperature is hot or warm as desired.

45. The part of the heater named a sheet of metal is painted black because_____.

A. it becomes hotter in the sun than surfaces painted any other color.

B. it looks more beautiful.

C. it is easier to paint it black.

D. it doesn’t need to be cleaned any more.

46. Where do you think the passage is from?

A. a story book

B. a news paper

C. a scientific magazine

D. a website

47. The main method that the writer chooses to describe in the passage is to use _________.

A milestone on my life journey

I could see the mountain ranges lying in the east, while I was standing on the corridor. They are thinly blanketed with fog, featuring that it seems like a romantic picture to my eyes. The scene reminds me of a milestone on my life journey. I walked through that milestone through challenges in one winter. It was also a test for my perseverance and determination.

If I thought of that trip, the first person I saw in mind is my uncle who took me along with him to be able to set a new milestone on my journey of life. One fine winter morning, he dropped in at my house and asked me how much perseverance I could exert in practice. I was annoyed of being asked such a question. He smiled at me and continued that there would be a test for my perseverance if I was willing to take part in. Without second thought, I accepted his challenge.

Then, I was taken to the foot of the mountain ranges and my uncle asked me if I was ready to take the test or not. A nod was an answer. Then, we started walking up along the mountain ranges. For first few mountain ranges, I seemed okay walking on a narrow lane up to the top of the mountain, but soon I found my strength was instantly wearing out. However, I had to keep on walking up as I had no choice.

As soon as I stepped on the top of the mountain, I saw another mountain range there. Gradually my excitement declined and all I dreamed of at that time was a nice bed of mine at home. The more I walked on, the heavier my body was. I deeply came to know about the force of gravity. I wanted to give up my attempt of walking. But I saw my uncle’s face in my mind. I held up my head high again to reach my destination. The whole body was soaked with sweat while carrying a burden of beans along with me. I made up my mind not to think of too much. I tried to balance my steps on a narrow lane through the mountain ranges.

I tried to carry my heavy body till I could see a pagoda at the peak of the mountain. It was the last mountain range. Air flowed out through my ears. I was too tired! I found myself crawling on a narrow lane to get there. At last, I reached my destination. A delight of conquering myself rolled up.

I lay down at the bottom of the pagoda, smiling and watching at the highest point of the pagoda.

48. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “exert”?

A. use

B. get

C. grow

D. borrow

49. How did the writer feel at the end of the trip?

A. a sense of pride

C. a sense of conquering

D. a sense of achievement

Some people say eating hot chili peppers can help you breathe easier if you have a cold. Others believe that chilies give you more energy. All we know is that people have been growing chilies for centuries. And there are plenty of different kinds of chili peppers to choose from, along with different levels of heat.

Want to spice up your meals with homegrown chilies? They need a warm climate. If you plant the seeds outside when the weather is cool, place a glass over them. That will add warmth from the sun and protect them from wind. You can also start the seeds in your home or a greenhouse.

If you plant chili peppers inside, fill an eight-centimeter pot with soil. The pot should have holes in the bottom so water can run out. Tap the sides of the pot to settle the soil.

Drop several seeds over the surface of the pot and cover with a thin layer of vermiculite. Vermiculite is a material that can hold air, water and nutrients. Then cover the top of the pot with a see-through plastic bag. Hold the bag in place with a rubber band. Place the pot in a warm area.

When the chilies start growing, take off the bag. When the plants have reached about two centimeters high, place each one carefully in its own eight-centimeter pot.

When the roots show through the holes in the bottom of the pot, transplant each seedling into a twelve-centimeter pot. When the plants are twenty centimeters high, tie the plants to a stick placed in the pot to support them.

When the chili peppers are thirty centimeters high, pinch the tops off with your fingers. That should get new branches to grow. When the first flowers show, give the plants some potash fertilizer. When the weather is warm, put them into five-liter pots and place them outside. Make sure they get a good amount of light and water.

Some people like mild chilies, others like plenty of heat. Some like to harvest the plants when the chilies are green. Others like their chilies red. Either way can give color and taste to many

The house next door had been empty for so long that we had quite forgotten what it was to have neighbors. One day, 16 , a great furniture lorry drew up near our front gate and in a short time, all kinds of furniture were 17 on the pavement. A small car arrived, out of which came seven people, a man, a woman and five children of 18 ages. The children hurried out and began laughing 19 as the whole family moved into the house. Windows were 20 open; furniture was put into 21 ; and little faces looked curiously at us over the fence and disappeared. It was our first 22 to the Robinsons.
