My son Joey was born with club feet(天生特厚的畸形脚). The doctors promised us that with treatment he would be able to walk 31 , but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were 32 in surgery(手术). By the time he was eight, you wouldn’t know he had a 33 when you saw him walk.

The children in our neighborhood ran around as most children do during 34 , and Joey would jump right in, run and play, too. We 35 told him that he probably wouldn’t be able to 36 as wel l as the other children. So he didn’t know.

In seventh grade he 37 to go out for the cross-country team. Every day he 38 with the team.

I was 44 , so I went to look for him after school. I found him 45 all alone. I asked him how he felt. “Okay,” he said. He had two more 46 to go. The sweat ran down his face and his eyes were glassy（目光呆滞的） from his fever. 47 he looked straight ahead and kept running.

Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were 48 . Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the team. He was in 49 grade —the other six team members were all eighth-graders.

四、阅读理解（30%）

A

Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is

secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behavior, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.

If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you’re easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.

If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive (不坦率的) person. You worry a lot and you're always easily upset. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.

If you sleep curled up (卷曲), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you're often very careful. You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You're easily hurt.

If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don't often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it upsets people.

51. According to the writer, you naturally show your secret and real personality_______.

A. only in a normal night

B. only when you go to sleep

C. only when you refuse to show yourself to the world

D. only when you change sleeping position

52. Point out which sentence is used to show the personality of a person who is used to sleeping on his or her stomach?

A. He or she is careful not to make others angry.

B. He or she doesn't want to stick to his or her opinion.

C. He or she can't be successful in any business.

D. He or she likes to bring others happiness.

53. Maybe you don't want to make friends with a person who sleeps curled up. Why?

A. He or she would rather be alone than communicate with you.

B. He or she is rarely ready to help you.

C. He or she prefers staying at home to going out.

D. He or she wouldn't like to get help from you.

54. It appears that the writer thinks highly of the person who sleeps on one side because _______.

A. he or she always shows sympathy (同情) for people

B. he or she is confident, but not stubborn (固执的)

C. he or she has more strengths than weaknesses

D. he or she often considers upsetting people

B

Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.

●Recite and repeat in conversation.

When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.

●Ask the other person to recite and repeat.

You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased

by the effort you’re making to learn their names.

●Admit you don’t know.

Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”

●Use associations.

Link each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: “Vicki Cheng－tall, black hair.” To reinforce your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.

●Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.

When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning first names. Last names can come later.

●Go early.

Consider going early to clubs, parties and classes. Sometime just a few people show up on time. There’re fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to other an automatic review for you.

55. If you can’t remember someone’s name, you may ________.

A. tell him the truth

B. tell him a white lie

C. ask him for pity

D. ask others to help you

56. When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember ________.

A. all their games

B. a couple of names first

C. just their last names

D. as many names as possible

57. What does the text mainly tell us?

A. Tips on an important social skill.

B. Importance of attending parties.

C. How to make use of associations.

D. How to recite and repeat names.

C

Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.

Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.

Others blame parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.

There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.

The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.

58. According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?

A. Those who often do sports.

B. Those who often watch television.

C. Those who often have meals at home.

D. Those who often walk to school.

59. The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because ______.

A. they can't choose what to eat

B. they are too busy to go out and play

C. their parents often cook meals for them

D. there are too many fast food shops around

60. The word "steering" underlined in the last sentence most probably means ______.

A. forcing

B. guiding

C. driving

D. moving

61. The main purpose of the text is to ______.

A. tell a story

B. provide facts

C. give advice

D. compare opinions

D

When I lived in Spain，some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car，before they left，they asked me about how to find accommodation（住所）．I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses，because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family．My friends listened to my advice，but they came back with some funny stories．

“We didn't stay at bed and breakfast houses，”they said．“Because we found that most families were away on holiday．”

I thought this was strange．Finally I understood what had happened

My friends spoke little English，and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays” because Spanish word for “holiday” is “vacaciones”．So they did not go to houses where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”，which in English meant there are free rooms．Then my friends went to houses where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”，because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday．But they found that these houses were all full．As a result，they stayed at hotels！

We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs．In Spanish，a word very similar to “DIVERSION” means fun．In English it means that workman is repairing the road，and that you must take a different road when my fr iends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign，they thought they were going to have fun．Instead， the road ended in a large hole．

English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages．Once in Paris，when someone offered me some more coffee，I sai d “Thank you” in French．I meant that I would like some more．However，to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away！Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No，thank you”．

62. My Spanish friends wanted advice about _________．

A．learning English

B．finding places to stay in England

C．driving their car on English roads

D．going to England by car

63. I suggested that they stay at bed and breakfast houses because ________.

A．they would be able to practise their English

B．it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels

C．it would be convenient for them to have dinner

D．there would be no problem about finding accommodation

64. “No vacancies” in English means ____．

A．no free rooms B．free rooms

C．not away on holiday D．holidays

65. I was surprised when the coffee pot was taken away because I _______．

A．hadn't finished drinking my coffee

B．was expecting another cup of coffee

C．meant that I didn't want any more

D．was never misunderstood

Hi, everyone!

To get close to nature and do more exercise, all residents who are interested in farming are invited to take part in an activity organised by our community. Weather permitting, we’ll ride bicycles to do some farming from 9:00 am to 12:00 am this Saturday on a farm, which is about 5 kilometres away. We can grow some vegetables, plant some flowers, and raise fish in the lake nearby. Not only will you enjoy the pleasure of labour and relax, but also you can taste fresh produce picked by your own hand if you are wiling to.

Everyone is welcome to attend!
