First, it helps us to have good health. We all need fresh air. It makes our health better to take morning exercises. The air is never so fresh as early in the morning. Early rising helps us in our studies. In the morning we learn more quickly and find it easy to learn something by heart. Early rising makes people able to plan the work for the day. We can’t work well without a good plan. Just as the plan for the year should be made in the spring, the plan for a day should be made in the morning. Early rising gives us enough time to get ready for our work, such as to wash our hands and eat our breakfast. So the popular saying says, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy(富有的) and wise.” ( )36. What does “early rising” mean？It means _______ early in the morning. A. waking up B. getting up C. having breakfast D. making a day’s plan ( )37. Why does the passage advise us to take exercises early in the morning？ A. Because we can save much time. B. Because we are not busy in the morning. C. Because air in the morning is very fresh. D. Because we don’t need to prepare for breakfast. ( )38. We can work well with _____. A. enough time B. a good reading C. clean hands D. a good plan (B) The word “day” has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using “day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning（旋转）of the earth. At the equator（赤道）day and night are sometimes the same length. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o’clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted（倾斜）toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere （半球）gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days. ( )39. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by ______ of the earth. A. the pushing B. the pulling C. the spinning D. the passing ( )40. At the equator day is as long as night ________. A. sometimes B. never C. usually D. always ( )41. When the North Pole is tilted toward the sun, the Northern Hemisphere gets ______ sunlight. A. less B. more C. all D. no (C) I was in line waiting to pay. In line there were two people before me. A little boy was buying some rather strange clothes. He chatted with anyone who was interested in the clothes and soon we learnt that he was going to a kindergarten(幼儿园) party. He had done a great job of putting together interesting costumes. I noticed that the little boy was paying mostly with change(零钱). It seemed that he had robbed his pig bank(猪形储蓄罐) to do this shopping. However, the cashier told him he was short after counting all the money. The boy thought for a moment and said, “Please keep the shirt and I will come back with more money. “ It was clear that he had already used all the money he had and he was $ 8.00 short. The lady in front of me said, “Well, I could pay half of that. “I told the boy that I could pay the other half. We dug into our handbags. However, both of us only had ten-dollar bills(纸币) and we needed the cashier to get the change for us. Other shoppers began digging into their pockets to find some change. It was amazing and touching as all these strangers seemed to react(反应) with the same mind. All wanted to be of help. Within minutes the cashier said, “I have too much money.” The cashier didn’t need our ten-dollar bills. Then the lady in front of me, who had been the first to offer help, said, “Wait! I didn’t even get a chance to give anything!” I smiled at her and said, “You did your share, because it was your idea and you started all this. “ The little boy smiled and thanked us. We wished him the best and he left. I was left with a good feeling. I had seen the love and goodness of others all around me. The woman in front of me smiled and said, “It sure feels good to give, doesn’t it?” I smiled back and said, “Yes !” ( )42. What is this passage mainly about? A. Love and goodness. B. Culture and tradition. C. Friendship and honesty. D. Communication and understanding. ( )43. Why did the writer and the woman both feel glad? A. Because the boy had saved some money. B. Because they both didn’t need to give anything. C. Because the cashier didn’t look down on the boy. D. Because all the shoppers around were willing to help the boy. ( )44. What does the underlined word “touching” most probably mean? A.令人感动的 B.令人难过的 C.令人失望的 D.令人害怕的 ( )45. What’s the correct order of the following events? a. The cashier got enough money for the boy’s shirt. b. The cashier counted the boy’s money. c. The shoppers looked for some change in their pockets. d. The boy went to the line to pay. A. b, a, e, d B. b, e, a, d C. d, b, e, a D. d, e, a, b 第二卷 （非选择题，共 65 分） 四、词汇运用（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） A）根据句意及所给中英文或首字母提示，写出句中所缺单词。 得分 阅卷人 46.

But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between(1) _________ English and _________ English. First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don’t say each word separately. They say several words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don’t know.” Or they may say “Whaddya say?” instead of “What did you say?” However, the British are more careful in 得分 阅卷人 their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate. (2)Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English. Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries. Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you “phone them up”. In America, you “give them a call”. When you are saying goodbye in England you might say “Cheerio!” In America you might say “See you later.” There’re also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have a storybook?” But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say “Have you a storybook?” All these differences can be confusing( 易 混 淆 的 ) if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. This is what has happened to English. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French.

The students in our class have different suggestions. Some students think that we can collect money to buy some books for the school library or something else for the school. Other students think that it’s not necessary to spend money. We can study hard and make our school feel proud of us. In my opinion, we don’t have to spend money. We can do something meaningful without money. For example, we can do some voluntary work to beautify the school’s environment or try to get better results in the coming exams so that our school will be proud of us. (In my opinion, we can collect our pocket money to buy some books for our school library. We can buy some detective stories and English novels. They don’t cost much but they are useful. The younger students will like them. I hope every student in our school can do so. ) I’d like to know your idea. Could you give me some advice? Best wishes! Li Ming
