Some of us have even tried it-putting the textbook under our pillows (枕头) the night before the test. We hope the material will magically come into our 36 as we sleep. Of course, it doesn’t work.

First of all, you need to really understand what you are studying. 40 with the vocabulary (词汇). As you are reading in your textbook, you may come across some new words. Look them up in a dictionary. Use the context of the sentence to help you 41 the meaning of the word. Try to come up with a simpler word to replace the unknown word. You can’t understand the material if you don’t know the vocabulary.
Next, connect new learning to things you already know. Whenever 42 ,
connect new information to real life. Research shows that if you can connect new information to old learning or real life, you are able to remember it more 43 .
If you don’t understand something, ask your teachers, parents or classmates for 44 . You can also go to the library. Do whatever it takes to help 45 understand.
Lastly, never give up! Everyone can learn. However, we all learn in different ways. With the right amount of active practice, you can learn anything!

I’m Jessica, a big fan of James Bond. I’ve got most of Bond films on DVD. We’ve recently bought Quantum of Solace, in which Daniel Craig plays the role of Bond. I don’t know why the film’s got that name --- but it’s a great movie, anyway.
All the actors who’ve played James Bond have been great, but Daniel Craig, who’s made lots of other films, plays the role better than any of them. Though he doesn’t talk much, I think he’s the most perfect actor for the role. He even does a few of the more dangerous things in the film himself, instead of getting someone else to do them. I sometimes wondered whether he would be clever to defeat (击败) the bad people --- but I’m not going to tell you the ending! The actress who stars with Craig gives a fantastic performance too --- I loved all the fashionable clothes she wore!
The director probably had a hard job making this Bond film as full of action as earlier ones. But the excitement starts just at the beginning, with a car running after another quickly along a mountain road, and plenty of other exciting scenes, too ---Bond jumping off tall buildings and so on. However, I found the story difficult to understand, and it also seemed to be over very quickly --- it lasted less than two hours.
I also felt there weren’t as many jokes as in the old Bond films. And where was all the funny Bond equipment (装备) --- the underwater car or exploding watch that everyone laughed at? This is a more serious, darker Bond film, but I still really enjoy it.
48.What can a reader find out from Jessica’s article?
A.What other films Daniel Craig has made.
B.Which other actors have played James Bond.
C.Why she thinks Daniel Craig is the best James Bond.
D.Whether Quantum of Solace is her favourite Bond film.
49.How does Daniel Craig play James Bond in the new Bond film?
A.He has a lot to say to the actress.
B.He wears some fashionable clothes.
C.He performs some of the action scenes.
D.He looks strong enough to fight the bad people.
50.What is Jessica trying to do in her article?
A.To tell readers about the Bond DVDS she owns.
B.To explain what first attracted her to Bond films.
C.To give a balanced review of a Bond film she has seen.
D.To describe how Daniel Craig got the role of James Bond.

Most of us had no idea what to expect last Monday. Our teachers told us that it was School Poetry Week. The whole school would see a show called Poetry Play.
When we got to the hall, we saw a big box in the middle of the stage. A man was sitting on it. After everyone sat down, the man stood up. He started pulling up the sail on a ship. There was no ship. There was no rope. He didn’t say anything. But we could tell exactly what he was doing. We all got very quiet and watched. Soon he was sailing on the sea. He began speaking, “If I had a ship, I’d sail my ship.” He was reciting The Island, a poem by A. A. Milne.
By then we knew that Peter Williams, the man on the stage, was going to give us a great performance. Between poems, he often lifted the lid (盖子) of the box and put his head inside. When he came out, he had changed into a different character by putting on a funny nose or a hat. First he was a silly guy with big red cheeks and a round nose. Then he turned into a very proper English gentleman. Next he was a cat. With each change he used a different voice. Williams was truly amazing. He became five different characters and recited more than twenty poems in all.
His performance of Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll was one of the best parts of the show. The poem is filled with made-up words. No one knows exactly what they mean. But when Peter Williams acted out the poem, it became an exciting experience.
Williams was often very funny. But he was serious, too. He really showed how poems can fit every mood. He told us that we should say poems out loud. We should all try to learn some poems by heart. He left us with these words from a poem by Beatrice Shenk de Regniers, “Keep a poem in your pocket.”
If you visit our school today, you’ll see that Peter Williams’s words came to life. In every room you will hear people reading poems out loud. Ask anyone what his or her favourite poem is. Your friend will probably start reciting (背诵) it!
Poetry Play got School Poetry Week off to a wonderful start.
51.Why did Peter Williams put his head inside the box between poems?
A.Because he wanted to be a silly guy.
B.Because he wanted to use a different voice.
C.Because he wanted to be a proper gentleman.
D.Because he wanted to act a different character
52.Which of the following sentences tells an opinion？
A.The poem is filled with made-up words.
B.We saw a big box in the middle of the stage.
C.Our teachers told us that it was School Poetry Week.
D.Poetry Play got School Poetry Week off to a wonderful start.
53.The phrase “come to life” in the Paragraph 6 means “_________”.
A.drive us mad
B.make a difference
C.win high praise
D.lead to success
54.The author’s main purpose in writing this passage was to _________.
A.explain how to write a poem
B.give information about poetry
C.make the readers want to learn poems
D.tell about a show called Poetry Play
55.What do we know about School Poetry Play?
A.It turned out a big success.
B.It was a funny performance.
C.It helped students write poems.
D.It taught students to act out poems.

A）请认真阅读下列短文，根据所读内容在文章后表格中第76-85小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为76-85的相应横线上。
注意：每个空格只填1个单词。
Petulia Island is only 5.5 kilometres long and 1.5 kilometres at its widest point. It lies in the middle of Lake Donika, and is 3,900 metres above sea level. Petulia has a small number of people for over four centuries. It now has a population of 1,500 people. It has no roads, no cars or bicycles, and no electricity. The sun is very hot
during the day but temperatures fall below zero at night. The water of Lake Donika is 10 degrees all year round.
Until recently, the island was separate from the outside world. Before the introduction of motorboats in the 1970s, travelling from Petulia to the nearest port (港口) could take over 20 hours. This journey was made only once a year to buy salt. Motorboats have now cut the journey time to three hours, bringing new trade and tourists to Petulia.
Petulia is divided into six farming areas. Each farmer owns one piece of land in each of the six areas and grows vegetables, potatoes and cereal. Every year, farmers leave a different piece of land unplanted to allow the earth to rest. Cows and sheep are kept here during this time to improve the soil. The food grown by each farmer is shared by everyone---none can be sold. Petulia’s farming year is divided into wet and dry seasons. The wet season is the busiest time. In the dry season between July and August, men knit (编织) traditional clothes from wool that is prepared by the women.
Petulia has a primary and secondary school. There is a big sports field, but instead of playing football, the boys usually choose to knit, like their fathers, while the girls make wool. Tourists often see small children on their way to and from school.
Petulia has a tourist industry but the people have kept their traditional customs. There are no hotels on the island. Instead, tourists are placed with a family. During the dry season, many islanders entertain (款待) tourists late into the cold nights with pipe music and dances.
B）请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，井将答案填写在答题卡标号为86-95的相应位置上。

However, they were different from each other when it came to everything e___86___ their appearance. Sam was a great friendship maker, while Tom had few friends. Sam loved sweets, but Tom loved spicy food and h___87___ sweets. While Sam was generous and selfless, Tom was greedy (贪婪的) and selfish!
As Sam and Tom grew up, their father wanted to share his wealth equally. However, Tom did not agree and he insisted that whoever proved to be smarter and stronger would to get a b___88___ share (份额).
Sam agreed. Their father decided to organize a competition between the twins. He asked them to walk as long as they could, and return home before sunset. The wealth would be divided a___89___ to the distance (距离) they covered.
