She looked at me directly and made me to the whiteboard to perform a division (除法) problem. Division was my weakest subject. I repeatedly put the numbers in the 37 pl aces, or forgot to add in the zeros. I worriedly 38 myself out of my seat. With every slow step I took, I grew more nervous. My stomach ached, and my whole body shook with 39 . 第一试卷网 Shijuan1.Com 提供下载 The teacher read the problem aloud. Unsure of myself, I looked at the girl beside me, and tried to 40 what she was writing, but she went faster than I could understand, writing down what seemed to be foreign symbols. My eyes fixed on the chicken scratch I had trie d. Impossible to understand. Why me? Why couldn’t I work out the problem that seemed easy to all other kids? These questions filled my head. As the other girl finished and danced back to her seat, I wrote some random (胡乱的) numbers on the board, and 41 back to mine. The teacher read over our work. “Now, class, Susie did this problem absolutely correctly.” “As for Tara,” the teacher said jokingly, “I don’t even know what she did.” The class burst into laughs, and I felt my face turn red as I tried to sink as low as possible into my seat, hoping to prevent them from 42 me at all. But this memory is one I remember, surprisingly, in a positive way. It made me 43 , and gave me persistence. When I get a poor grade in school, or am put down by somebody, I think of that moment and every single one of those 44 that I asked myself. The terrible ache in my stomach comes back and gives me the motivation to answer all of those whys and try hard until perfection, or as close as I can get. 37. A. proper B. incorrect C. special D. unimportant 38. A. lifted B. dropped C. repaired D. knocked 39. A. tiredness B. excitement C. shyness D. fear 40. A. accept B. explain C. copy D. describe 41.

I had to go to a new school and found no one to be friends with because I wasn’t interested in the topics most of my classmates liked. [ “Maybe I’ll never have real friends,” I thought. I closed my eyes and imagined playing my drums. Suddenly, I heard the sound of a guitar. I followed the sound and found out that was a band. I recognized the guitar player at my first sight and so did he. “Hey, you’re Cassie from my class!” his voice surprised me. “I’m sorry,” I said. “I just haven’t heard any live music in this town before! You sound great — did you guys write that song?” “Yeah — well, we’re still working on it. I’m Matt.” He stood up and held out his hand. “Mind if I listen in?” I asked in a low voice. “Not at all,” Matt said, smiling. “Maybe you can give us some suggestions!” The song was pretty good and I could really improve it with my drum skills. Behind my drum set was the one place I felt completely like myself. But I wasn’t sure if I wanted to open that door to the world. “Hey, do you play drums?” Matt asked suddenly. His question surprised me. How did he know? And then I followed his eyes to my hands, which had been beating a rhythm (节奏) on the floor. I tried to say no, but my heart stopped me from refusing. “Sure, I’ve been playing for a few years,” I said finally. “Oh, wow! You’ve got to join us!” Matt said. “I have some drums over here.” I looked at their shiny faces. “Absolutely. I would love to play!” I replied. 第一试卷网 Shijuan1.Com 提供下载 “One, two, three, four!” Matt counted and began singing, and I knew I was finally home. 48. When the writer first went to a new school, she ______. A. joined a music club B. had no close friends C. could play the guitar D. developed a new hobby 49. How did the writer feel when Matt asked if she played drums? A. Surprised. B. Scared. C. Worried. D. Excited. 50. The writer said she was finally home because ______. A. she learned to play the drums B. she decided to leave the town C. she loved her home very much D. she made some friends finally C Nowadays, many teens are badly addicted to using phones. It probably won’t surprise you that teens are texting more than ever before. Instead of sleeping, Kenny Alarcon, 16, often texts with his friends through the night. Frances Garcia, a high school senior, sends and receives about 1000 texts each day. Both Frances and Kenny wake up several times during the night to text. Kenny even sleeps with his phone beneath his pillow. Dr. Elizabeth Dowdell, a professor at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, says that it’s common for teens to be interrupted by texts while slee ping. “If they often lose sleep,” Dr. Dowdell says, “teens may become angry, or depressed. A lack of sleep can lead to weight gain and even obesity because many people turn to junk food for quick energy when they are tired.” Some experts are worried about how texting is affecting teenagers’ lives. One concern is that students might not learn correct grammar and spelling if most of the writing they do is made up of text messages. Some people also worry that teens don’t spend enough time talking with others face-to-face, which could be hurting their relationships with friends and family. Moreover, all that texting takes away hours that could be spent studying, exercising, taking up a hobby, or just relaxing. According to Dr. Dowdell, teens need to learn that they can and should turn off their phones sometimes. She had Kenny and Frances do an experiment. These were the rules: No 第一试卷网 Shijuan1.Com 提供下载 meditation phone for 48 hours. No computer or Internet either, unless it was for schoolwork. After 48 phone-free hours, Kenny and Frances were interviewed. “Wow, it was pure torture (折磨),” Kenny joked. Kenny missed his friends, and he was sad at times. But he also felt relief from the constant texting. He spent time reading books and talking with his family, wh ich he really enjoyed. Frances had an even happier result. “I loved it!” she said, “I was going to the gym and hanging out with friends and playing basketball. I had a wonderful experience.” Frances decided to continue the experiment for a while. “I think I’ll be so much smarter and healthier,” she explained, “everybody in the world should try it.” 51. If teens keep waking up to text while sleeping, they may ______. A. get overweight B. become happier C. disturb their parents D. feel more relaxed 52. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Mistakes in teens’ text writing. B. Time wasted on meaningless texting. C. Worries about how texting affects teens. D. Encouragement to teens’ talking face-to-face. 53. The writer mentions the experiment on Frances and Kenny to ______. A. advise people what to do without phones B. show teens can live well without phones C. explain phones are important in teens’ lives D. introduce how they make good use of phones D Mindfulness Matters In recent years, some schools have begun to introduce meditation, or mindfulness training, into their classrooms. During mindfulness training, students may be asked to sit quietly and observe their own thoughts and feelings to avoid being controlled by them. Mindfulness training can help students overcome anxiety ( 焦 虑 ), control their behavior, and improve their ability to pay attention in class. Students 第一试卷网 Shijuan1.Com 提供下载 are expected to learn how to meditate in order to reduce stress and do better in their schoolwork.[来源:Z.Com] Among schools that already teach meditation, the results have been positive. In one study, teachers reported that after five weeks of mindfulness practice, their students were more focused. They also participated more fully in class. A middle school in San Francisco reported that a student meditation program led to higher attendance rates and better grades. Another study suggested that meditation helped students perform better on tests by improving their working memory and reducing their anxiety. Many supporters believe that meditation training programs can also help students overcome stress. For examp le, Headstand is a mindfulness education program designed to help students overcome anxiety. A study concluded that ninety-eight percent of participating students felt less stressed after they completed the Headstand program. In another study, researchers in New Haven, Connecticut, followed students who participated in meditation and yoga classes three times a week. They found that after each class, participants had lower levels of cortisol, a stress hormone (激素), in their bodies. Despite the positive results seen so far, critics also point out that much of the current research is not rigorous (严谨的) enough. Associate Professor Tamar Mendelson agrees that research on meditation in children is still in its early stages. However, even she insists that she has seen the positive impact of meditation on children. Others express worries that meditation is not a valuable use of class time. But many disagree. Denise Pope, a professor from the Stanford University, says, “This is something teachers can do immediately. You get a lot of bang for your buck and anyone who is against it isn’t thinking clearly.” Indeed, additional studies will surely strengthen our understanding of the benefits of mindfulness. Although still in its early stages, research shows that meditation can help students learn to deal with anxiety and stress. As an added bonus, students of mindfulness training also report better concentration and gains in their academic performances. Therefore, meditation should be a part of every student’s school day. Participating in “stillness” can be just as productive as other school-related activities. 54. Why do some schools introduce mindfulness training into classes? A. To control students’ working memory. B. To reduce students’ stress and anxiety. 第一试卷网 Shijuan1.Com 提供下载 C. To increase students’ attendance rates. D. To research students’ thoughts and feelings. 55. What can we learn from the pass age? A. Mindfulness training is not a valuable use of class time at school. B. Mindfulness training is more productive than other school activities. C. Students felt more stressful after joining yoga classes three times a week. D. Students paid closer attention in class after weeks of mindfulness practice. 56. The words “a lot of bang for your buck” in Paragraph 4 probably mean “______”. A. challenges B. complaints C. advantages D. influences 57. The writer probably agrees that ______. A. further studies will prove the benefits of mindfulness training B. students will become more talented with mindfulness training C. doctors will do researches on the spread of mindfulness training D. mindfulness training decides students’ mental and physical health 七、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共 10 分，每小题 2 分） Can you imagine a world without a writing system for your language? It may be hard to picture it now, but a man named Sequoyah lived in such a world. Sequoyah was a member of a native American tribe, the Cherokee. Cherokee people speak their own language, but for hundreds of years they did not have a system of writing. Without a writing system, the Cherokee had no newspapers or books before 1809. Sequoyah was probably born around the year 1770 and lived with his mother in a small village in the mountains of Tennessee. When he grew up, he became a blacksmith. When he was doing business with those “English-speaking people”, he noticed that they used paper with marks to record their thoughts and ideas. Se quoyah called these pieces of paper with marks “talking leaves”. He began to wonder why people who spoke Cherokee did not have a way to write down their words. In 1809, Sequoyah decided to give the Cherokee their own “talking leaves”. At first he 第一试卷网 Shijuan1.Com 提供下载 tried to make a different symbol for every word in the Cherokee language. But in that case, there would be so many symbols and too hard for people to remember, so he decided to make a picture for each syllable (音节). After much hard work, Sequoyah invented 85 symbols. In order to see whether it would work, he helped his six-year-old daughter Ayoka learn each symbol and found she could learn to read and write very quickly. Sequoyah’s invention was a success! Before long, Sequoyah’s writing system had spread far and wide. Cherokee people living in all different parts of the country learned to read and write. In 1825, Sequoyah’s system was made the official written language for Cherokee people. To this day, Cherokee speakers still use Sequoyah’s writing system. In some parts of the United States, you can see street signs and billboards written in both English and Cherokee. Sequoyah will always be remembered for his important contribution to Cherokee people. 58. Did the Cherokee have newspapers before 1809? 59. What did Sequoyah call the pieces of paper with marks? 60. How many symbols did Sequoyah invent in the Cherokee language? 61. When was Sequoyah’s system made the official written language? 62. Why will Sequoyah always be remembered? 书面表达（共 10 分） 八、文段表达（10 分） 63．从下面两个题目中任选一题．．．．，根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50 词的文段写 作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出你的校名 和姓名。 假如你是李华，寒假即将到来，为了方便外籍教师和留学生在假期使用图书馆,请 你写一则英文通知，告诉他们图书馆假期开放时间，每次可借阅图书的数量和借阅期限， 以及需要注意的事项。 提示词语：return, renew (续借), ID card 第一试卷网 Shijuan1.Com 提供下载 提示问题：●When will the school library be open during the winter vacation? ● How many books can be borrowed and how long can they be kept? ● What rules should be followed?

Chinese brush painting is one of the oldest art in the world and it has lasted over 6000 years. Brush painting started in Han Dynasty and it was used to record events. Before starting to learn Chinese painting, you should choose one type from two main kinds in Chinese painting: Gong-bi or Shui-mo. But no matter which type you choose, you should know the character of Chinese pa inting. Generally, the paintings are not only a way of showing natural plants, animals and objects, but also a way of communicating dreams, truth and valuable life lessons. Once you decide to learn Chinese painting, you had better learn from Chinese artists. Learn the ways they describe the nature, control the brush, and color the paintings. Before setting a brush to the special xuan paper, you must have a picture in your mind, drawing on your imagination and store of experience. Once you start to paint, you will normally have to complete the work at one go. It seems easy to start learning Chinese painting, but it takes years to be good at it，so there is no need to be disappointed if you can’t paint well. 二、听后回答 听对话，根据对话内容笔头回答问题。每段对话你将听两遍。 第一试卷网 Shijuan1.Com 提供下载 请听一段对话，完成第 11 小题。 请听一段对话，完成第 12 小题。 W: Sir, I’m in a rush.
