第一节(共10小题，每小题2分，满分20分)

A

How to prepare for exams? Well, it is a big question that you always ask yourself.

There is no short cut to success, which is the first thing you should remember. For this reason you have to study hard first of all. Besides, here are some tips for you.

Never fear or hate exams and be confident. Some students study well but still may be afraid of exams and due to this reason they won’t be able to get good marks. So leave all your fears behind and free your mind before starting your studies. You have to be confident and it is the most important thing for attaining victory.

Prepare a good timetable. Prepare a timetable before starting your studies. This should include all subjects, but tough subjects can be given more time while easier ones less. And remember some time shall be spared for entertainment and also there should be enough break time between each subject.

Select a proper atmosphere for studying. No need to explain this point. Can anyone study well while watching TV? So select a place where you feel comfortable and can concentrate. And importantly it is better to study early in the morning when you will have quiet surroundings and you can concentrate more.

Make notes while studying. This is a very important point. Make small notes while studying can help you remember all the points. It will work better if you use these notes for revision in the last one or two hours than you skip through pages of your textbook. It won’t take much time to go through these notes.

Write well. As we all know, the first impression is the best impression. So your handwriting affects your marks. Try to write neatly. If it is not good enough, don’t worry; if you present it in a good manner you can score more marks.

36.Which proverb can show the writer’s attitude towards our studies?

A. No pains, no gains.

B. Knowledge is power.

C. It’s never too old to learn.

D. Nothing is impossible for a willing heart.

37.Why do some students hate exams according to the passage?

A. Because they think exams are meaningless.

B. Because preparing for exams takes up most of their time.

C. Because there are too many exams at school.

D. Because they don’t have enough self-confidence.

38.Why does the writer say "No need to explain this point" in Paragraph 5?

A. Because it’s difficult to explain.

B. Because it’s easy to understand.

C. Because we need to study in silence.

D. Because a proper atmosphere can be formed anywhere.

B

"Long time no see" is a very interesting sentence.When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email，I laughed.I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.

Obviously，it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on，my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting.I was too thrilled to believe her.Her words could not convince me at all.So I did a research on Google.com.To my surprise，there are over 60 thousand web pages containing "Long time no see." This sentence has been widely used in emails，letters，newspapers，movies，books，or any other possible places.Though it is sort of informal，it is part of the language that Americans use daily.Ironically，if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word，the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.

Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence.Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies.In the 1930s，Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named "Charlie Chan" on wide screens.Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius(孔子)."Long time no see" was his trademark.Soon after Charlie Chan，"Long time no see" became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies.

Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of "stew".All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together，and they change the color and taste of each other.American Chinese，though a minority ethnic(少数民族的成员) group in the United States，is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew.

You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese，such as pizza from Italian，susi from Japanese，and déjà vu from French etc.There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others.They will modify it and make it their own，so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant，or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store.Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays，I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future.In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor.

39.The writer himself felt surprised at ______.

A.the Chinglish expression "Long time no see"

B."Long time no see" used as standard American English

C.so many literal translation of the expressions used in America

D.finding out Americans use the expression every day

40.The word "stew" in the 4th paragraph probably means ______.

A.mixture literature               B.Confucius’ words

C.a kind of cooked dish            D.American changing cultures

41.According to the passage，it can be inferred that ______.

A.detectives translate the phrase "Long time no see"

B.Hollywood made "Long time no see" popular

C.the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languages

D.cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew

42.The main idea of the passage is that ______.

A.some Chinese expressions are introduced into English

B.you’ll not be surprised at a tofu in a restaurant in America

C.some American expressions can be used in China

D.American English keep being enriched from different cultures

C

Tracey Hermanstorfer's heart stopped beating and her son Coltyn appeared lifeless after the Caesarean(剖腹产术)section on Christmas Eve. However a few minutes after he was born, both began breathing again. Dr Stephanie Martin told Good Morning America she could not explain how the pair survived. Mrs Hermanstorfer and her husband Mike told the American television show that their baby was now healthy and that they were doing "good" following the drama at Colorado Springs Memorial Hospital.

The couple, who already had two children, had to go into the hospital seven weeks earlier than planned. Her husband, 37, said his wife was tired after receiving an epidural(硬脑膜外麻醉)during the labour(分娩)but after closing her eyes, she "wasn't waking up".She stopped breathing and she is believed to have suffered a heart attack before her heart stopped beating entirely.

Dr Martin said she was called in and that the outlook was grim(严酷的) since in most situations like this，"despite the best efforts of the team", the mother was often unable to be revived. In that case doctors then tried to focus on delivering the baby but when he was born he was "completely lifeless".

Mr. Hermanstorfer told the Associated Press news agency，"I had everything in the world taken from me, and in an hour and a half I had everything given to me."

Dr Martin said she did not have a"great explanation"for why Mrs Hermanstorfer's heartbeat returned. "Somewhere between four and five minutes she had been without heart rate and had stopped breathing a minute or two prior to her heart stopping，"she said. The doctors were then able to bring the baby back to life, and the mother was alive after that.

Despite tests, she said doctors were still not sure about what had happened. However Mrs Hermanstorfer and her husband Mike have said they believed it was down to a miracle. She said："I got a second chance in life."

43.What might have happened to Tracey Hermanstorfer just before her heart stopped beating?

A.She became unconscious.   B.She took a nap.

C.She had a bad headache.  D.She suffered a heart attack.

44.Which of the following is the correct order of what happened to Tracey Hermanstorfer?

a.suffering a heart attack

b.stopping heart beating entirely

c.stopping breathing

d.coming back to life

e.receiving an epidural

f.producing a baby

A.a c f d b e      B.f c a d b e     C.e a c b f d         D. e a b c f d

45.Which of the following words best expresses Dr Martin's attitude towards Tracey Hermanstorfer's coming back to life?

A. Shocked.     B. Puzzled.  C.Normal.         D. Curious.

Finding a new and fun hobby can make you a happier person. Hobbies can be a great way to relieve stress and bring more joy into your life. Specifically when you find a new hobby. Hobbies are for everyone at any age. When you get older, you should not have fewer hobbies.  46  You might be looking for a new hobby, but you're not sure what. A new hobby requires finding new interests, which means experimenting to find those interests.

Try new things. To find a new hobby, it will require trying new things. New hobbies won't usually just find you. Don't put things off. You might think to yourself, "I don't like that." If you've never done it, or given it a chance, how can you know?  47 __

Learn new things. You're never too young or old to learn more in life. If you take the time to learn new things, you'll develop new interests. Let your curiosity run wild, and develop more knowledge over the things you don't know or are familiar with.  48  Reading the same sports newspaper every day doesn't count as a new and fun hobby.

Collect things. _49  .Start collecting them. Maybe you have an interest in coins, or specific jewelry. Think about certain interests that pertain to(关于)what you can collect. If you're a sports fan, then collect sport cards, or jersey's. Simple hobbies aren't always a bad thing. You can collect just about anything.

50__ Everyone has a creative side. Some people find different ways of expressing that side to them. It can be writing, drawing, painting, playing a music instrument, photography, dancing, or singing. These can be fun and relaxing hobbies to have that be a positive way of expressing your emotions.

Last Sunday, I went sightseeing with my friends in the Fairy Lake Park. The park was full of   beauty of spring, with the sun shining and birds sing. When I was enjoying the fantastic scenery around, something unpleasant caught their eyes. A young couple in a boat was eating, talking and laughing loudly as if they were the only people in the world. Which is worse, they spat and even threw rubbish into the lake, total ignoring the noticeable sign "No Littering" nearby. What shame!

Such behavior leaves me deep in thought. If all visitors to the Fairy Lake Park do as the couple did so, the lake will be severely polluted or soon turned into a huge dustbin.

One possible version：

I’m very  honored to give you a speech on healthy breakfast. Some students in our class often go to school without breakfast while others do have breakfast but not a well-balanced one.          Consequently, their health and study efficiency are negatively affected. A healthy and well-balanced breakfast should consist of whole grains, eggs and milk, fruits and vegetables. The grain which contains carbohydrates can provide the energy we need every day. Eggs and milk supply protein and fruits and vegetables are good for healthy digestion. Therefore, I strongly suggest that we should get up early and have a well-balanced breakfast before going to school.
