Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage. A A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a 100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, “ Who would like to have this 100 bill? ” The students began to put up their hands at once. Then he said, “ I am going to give this bill to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He then made this bill into a ball. Then he said, “ Who wants it?” Hands went into the air.“ Well, ” he said, “ What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled （弄皱的）bill and said, “ Who still wants it?” Hands went back into the air. “ My friends, ” he said, “ You ve learned a valued lesson today. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it didn t go down in value. It was still worth 100. Many times in our lives, we re dropped, crumpled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those who love you. Your value doesn t come from what you drop or whom you know，but WHO YOU ARE . You are special and valuable. Don t ever forget it!56. The story happened _.

Your value doesn t change no matter what happens to you.B People travel for a lot of reasons. Some travelers go to see battlefields or religious shrines. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their photos taken in front of famous places. But most Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short and much of the rest of the year is in the rain. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean（地中海） resorts and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun. The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italys 30,000 hotels are booked every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French Beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spains long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain. But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, its getting worse. The French cant figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution. None of this, however, is damaging anyones fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they dont go there for clean water. They stand traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They dont even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, its still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo. 61. It can be inferred from the passage that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that _. A. they want to see battlefields or religious shrines B. they are interested in different cultures C. they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites D. they wish to escape from the cold, dark and rainy days back at home 62. In Para.1, cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam are mentioned to show that _. A. how rich their residents are B. they are not good cities in geography and climate 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 3 页，共 6 页C. these cities lack places of historic interest and tourist spots D. they have got more tourism than they can handle 63. According to the passage, which of the following countries attracts more tourists than the others? A. Italy B. France C. Spain D. Greece 64. The sentence “ one tourist for every person living in Spain” (Para.2 ) means _.A. all the 37 millions people living in Spain are tourists B. every Spanish is visited by a tourist every year C. every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist D. every year the number of tourists is equal to（等于）the number of people living in Spain 65. Which of the following will damage the tourists fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches? A. Rainy weather B. Polluted water C. Traffic jams D. Crowded buses C In the past two years, his wife, Merlie, and their seven children have said “ goodbye ” to him four times, most recently last month. Each time it has been unnecessary. Mr. Smart had a hip (髋关节 ) replacement in February at the Burnie hospital but was rushed back two months later with internal bleeding(内出血 ). “ The doctors couldn t stop the bleeding,” Mrs. Smart said. Medical staff told Mrs. Smart to contact(联系，接触 ) her family, which includes children in Western Australia. “It took two days for them to get here. We had to hope he hung on . ” He did.“ The doctors were there 24 hours a day and they stopped the bleeding. They brought him back,” Mrs. Smart said. “ I certainly believe in miracles（奇迹）because I ve seen one happen, but it wouldn t have happened if the doctors didn t do what they did.”It was the second time Mrs. Smart thought she was losing her husband of 54 years. Two years ago, Mr. Smart was admitted to the Launceston General Hospital after a heart attack and a few days later with Hospital after a heart attack and a few days later with intense pain caused by a hemorrhage (出血 ). Again, the family was called to say goodbye-twice. “ I was given a 50 -50 chance of coming out of it,” Mr. Smart said.Going through the ordeal( 苦难，折磨 ) then was trying on the family, who had prepared themselves for the worst. But to face the same situation only two years later was hard. The Smarts said the support they received at the Burnie hospital helped them through. And it seems the experience has also left an impression at the hospital. Mrs. Smart said when she rang recently and mentioned her husband s name, the reply was “ ah the miracle man”.66.

Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer. Anna Craig, 11, has a paper doll covered with stickers( 贴纸 ). On each sticker is written a word, such as cheerful, smart or kind. “ We choose stickers that can best describe ourselves and put them on our dolls,” explains Anna, who took part in the activity with a group of girls in the fourth grade last year. The activity is part of a program called “ Beautiful Me.” The program s goals are to help girls achieve a normal and healthy level of self-respect and develop basic skills of solving problems and handling relationships with others. So far, about 6,000 girls in New York, Chicago and Philadelphia, have joined in it. The organizers of “ Beautiful Me” train teachers to present the program material to small groups of girls. They guide groups to carry out different activities. The activities include hands-on art activities, role-playing games and discussions on topics like making lasting friendships. Groups will show their performance, when they are ready. The organizers of “ Beautiful Me” say the program helps girls understand their feelings, solve problems and get along well with others. Anna Craig says that she learns so many things from the program. But most importantly, she starts to appreciate the special qualities of other people. She also thinks that it s important to feel good about herself. When people feel good about themselves, it is easy to make other people around them feel good too! 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 4 页，共 6 页Title: The Program of “ 71 ”Section B (10 marks) Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet. When most people travel, they spend some time booking hotel rooms. However, my friend Ashley and I were not like most people many years ago. We decided that backpacking through Ireland would be more fun if we “ winged it ” . Winging it, of course, meant that we d each buy a one-way ticket to Dublin, and give ourselves ten days to get back to Bath, England, where we were enrolled in a study-abroad program. The plan was to visit Dublin, Galway, Cong, and finally end things in Belfast, where we figured we could catch a flight back to England. Unfortunately, Ireland had other plans for us, as nothing worked out the way in which we thought it would. After getting stuck in Galway and Cong for about seven days, we finally managed to take a bus trip from Cong to Belfast. The twelve-hour bus ride started at ten in the morning, which meant that wed arrive in the heart of Belfast at around ten at night. Of course, like all transport, the bus ran late, and we ended up in Belfast at around eleven-thirty at night. As there were a ton of hotels around the area where it dropped us off, we weren t too worried about finding a hotel room. But hotel after hotel turned us down. After the third hotel turned us down and the fourth one was locked up for the night, Ashley and I started to realize that we had to spend a long night sleeping on a city bench. Like militantsoldiers, we slept in turn as we were worried we would get robbed. The system worked, as we were able to stay safe while catching as much sleep as we could on the bench. From this experience, I really learnt a good lesson. 81. Why did the author and his friend decide to wing it when they went to travel in Ireland? (No more than 8 words) 382.

The results are as follows. (1) 53% of the students say they are not happy at all during the summer holidays. They have to attend various training courses. (2) Another 38% say they are happy, because they can go travelling and have a good chance to make new friends. (3) However, 9% feel lonely and bored, for they play the computer games at home. (4) I think parents should trust their children and give them more freedom to arrange their own time. At the same time, they should encourage children to take part in more social activities to make their holidays more colorful.
