I never thought I would be a “runner”. I was the girl who ran slowest in the PE class. A few years ago, I was walking with a group of friends in the Race for the Cure (治愈), a 5-km race designed to raise money for the fight against breast cancer (乳腺癌), until one lady caught     6     attention.  

Wearing a T-shirt with the word “Survivor”, she was one of the     7     women I’ve ever seen. She must have been close to 70 years old. She was so small that it seemed as if she could even be turned over (翻倒) by a strong wind,     8     she was running. When passing me and my group of friends, she waved and didn’t     9    . She just took a deep breath and ran     10    , but firmly (坚定地) — as if each step had pushed her cancer out of her body. Right at that moment, I     11     that in the next Race for the Cure, I’d be running along with her.

A week later, I found myself in the gym, running on the treadmill (跑步机). Three     12     after I started, my face was bright red. I felt like my lungs (肺) were going to burst. I preferred to     13     to walk. At that time, I thought of the     14     at the race. I kept it up. I continued to practice. At last, I was able to hold on (坚持) a little     15     each time. Three and a half minutes. Four minutes. Five minutes.              

A year later, I was at the Race for the Cure      16     , but this time, I ran with the other runners. When the race started, they passed me by. I ran forward. I worried about      17      I’d be able to finish it, but then I remembered the     18     woman again. I ran as fast as I could until I finally crossed that finishing line. I had just      19      my first race! I looked down at my legs, amazed. They had done something I’d never thought possible. I had never felt so strong before and I knew it was a       20      that I wanted to create again.

For the Chinese people, one of the most wonderful cultural events staying in their memories is probably the “24 Solar Terms” (24节气) added to the list of World Intangible Cultural Heritage. The Chinese people divide a year into 24 parts based on the sun’s position in the zodiac. The influence of it is still widely noticed today.

What are the 24 Solar Terms?

The 24 Solar Terms are part of the traditional Chinese calendar. It was originated along the Yellow River even before the Qin Dynasty (221—207BC), and was almost settled down in the Han Dynasty (202BC—220).

It is also known as the “fifth great invention” of China, coming after paper-making, printing, gunpowder and compass.

In the ancient days, they were important instructions for the agricultural (农业的) production as well as people’s daily lives. Starting with the “Start of Spring” and ending with “Major Cold”, each season was divided into six solar terms, each with a time span (跨度) of 15 days.

The “Start of Spring”, “Start of Summer”, “Start of Autumn” and “Start of Winter” divide a year into four seasons.

The “Spring Equinox (春分)” and “Autumn Equinox” are when the days and nights are of equal length, while the “Summer Solstice (夏至)” sees the longest days and the shortest nights in the Northern Hemisphere (半球). It is the opposite of the “Winter Solstice”.

There are also some other solar terms which mark things like temperature, precipitation, growth of the crops, and weather conditions. Many farmers still rely on the solar terms now to decide what o do in the fields.

Cultural meanings of the solar terms

The ancient way of dividing time has in fact influenced not only farming but also the daily lives of the Chinese people, even the way they think.

The solar terms have rich social and cultural meanings, such as traditional celebrations, rituals and even festivals. For instance, the “Pure Brightness” is also marked as the tomb-sweeping day when people pay respect to the lost ones.

Even today, people still eat dumplings during the “Start of Winter” and porridge when autumn starts. Besides, some rituals (宗教仪式) were also marked in different areas of China. People in south China celebrate Frost Festival during the “Start of Spring”.

Accepted by more and more young people, it is not hard to imagine that the 24 Solar Terms which show our respect for nature and the idea of harmony (和谐) between man and nature will have even longer life together with the Chinese history.

24．Which of the following isTRUEabout the 24 Solar Terms?

A．Each lunar year is started with “Start of Spring”.

B．It was originated along the Yellow River in the Qin Dynasty.

C．It divides the year based on the moon’s position in the zodiac.

D．“Winter Solstice” sees the shortest days in the Northern Hemisphere.

25．How many days does each season include according to the 24 Solar Terms?

A．15 days. B．60 days. C．90 days. D．92 days.

26．Which of the following isNOTthe reason why more and more people think highly of the 24 Solar Terms?

A．The solar terms have rich social and cultural meanings.

B．The ancient way of dividing time has influenced people’s farming.

C．Eating dumplings during the “Start of Winter” is still one of the traditions.

D．The solar terms show respect for nature and the idea of harmony between man and nature.

To remember vocabularies drives a lot of students mad. Are there any useful methods to do it better? Here is a passage for you to read and learn.

Stay up late doing exercises, remembering every grammar rule and reading all English articles you’ve learned again and again... Are these the ways you learn English? The bad news is that this method may do you little good. But the good news is that there are better ways to build your English vocabulary.

·Learn a new English word every day

If you’re not sure where to start, try making cards of the most commonly used words. Another way to build up your English vocabulary is reading. If you like reading about travel, pets or food, read about these topics in English. Look for English newspapers or magazines about your favorite subjects or visit websites or blogs about these topics. Read a few articles each morning, and circle new words. If you like watching movies, pick one and start watching. If you’re afraid you won’t understand everything, you can always watch them with subtitles. Once you’re confident in your English listening skills, try watching movies without subtitles.

·Don’t forget to record new words in a vocabulary notebook

Whenever you come across a new word, write it down. Many English language learners carry a notebook for this purpose. Keep the notebook and a pen at hand. Then, you’ll have something to review while traveling or taking a break.

·Vocabulary learning system

Another thing to do is to develop an organized but easy way of collecting and learning new words. For example, a card system should include the following information，

*Word

*English meaning of the word

*Phrases or sentences

*Related words

*Words of similar meanings and words of opposite meanings

*Chinese meaning on the back of the card

·  ▲

It is found that people understand and remember facts better if they are given in logical（合逻辑的） groups. For example, it is less difficult to remember words that are related to each other than those unrelated ones. Creating lists of words related to common themes–such as friendship, family, wealth, careers, sciences–will be much easier to learn and remember than collecting words according to their first letters.

27．In Paragraph 1, the writer introduces the topic by _________.

A．describing the common scenes of students’ ways of learning

B．listing the problems that students have when learning

C．presenting a few questions that students want to ask

D．telling a funny story of language learning experience

28．The underlined word “subtitles” means _________.

A．names of books, magazines, or other published works

B．translations of foreign films shown at the bottom of the screen

C．second titles which are often longer and explain more

D．names that describe people’s social positions or jobs

29．Which of the following sentence is the most suitable one to be put in the  ▲ ?

A．Understand and remember facts better B．Collect words by theme or subject

C．Remember a list of unrelated words D．Divide words according to their first letters

30．In which order is the passage written?

A．Time order. B．Space order. C．From specific to general. D．From general to specific.

A new school has opened recently. For an hour, pupils are taught how to use the mouse, the keyboard and the computer. Nothing unusual about that, you might think; except that these pupils are toddlers, ages just two or three.

We asked two experts their opinions on the growing phenomenon (现象) of “technology for toddlers”: Do you think we should teach computer skills to very young children?

•YES

Judy Clarke, director of technology, York College

At my college, we think that “ ________.” Although the usual age for the national school exams is 16, we put our best pupils forward for exams if we think they are ready. They might be just seven years old. Having had great success with these courses, we began to think about the “Technology for Toddlers” classes. They are aimed at giving the pre-school pupils a head start not only in technology skills, but also in writing, reading and communication using the computer. Apart from the actual lessons, we also encourage parents to get the children to practise their new skills at home. Parents say to me all the time, “Sarah can count up to 30 and is ahead of her peers” or “Jack has gained so much confidence from your classes.” Comments like these make it all worthwhile for me.

•NO

Alan Jackson, educational psychologist, Cardiff

I’ve worked as an educational psychologist (心理学家) for many years and I must say that I’m very worried about this trend for encouraging younger and younger children to use computers. The negative (负面的) aspects of staring at a screen for a long time at a young age are obvious. The lack of physical exercise, for example, can lead to obesity (肥胖) and the lack of interaction (互动) with real people can lead to problems with speech development. These are just two of the problems, but I could go on and on. I feel sorry for these children who clearly need to be running around and climbing trees with their friends.

31．Choose the best phrase to fill in the blank in Paragraph 3: At my college, we think that ________.

A．it’s never too old to learn B．it’s never too young to start

C．practice makes perfect D．all roads lead to Rome

32．The underlined phrase “head start” in the passage means ________.

A．good beginning B．possible chance

C．bad luck D．serious warning

33．Judy Clarke uses comments about Sarah and Jack to show ________.

A．she is satisfied with Sarah and Jack

B．how hard Sarah and Jack have worked

C．why some parents should feel proud of their children

D．young children can improve from “Technology for Toddlers” classes

34．What does Alan Jackson mean by saying “but I could go on and on”?

A．He thinks toddlers have much more to learn at school.

B．He still has much to do to deal with the serious problem.

C．He will keep studying the matter of teaching toddlers computer skills.

D．He thinks there are a lot more problems of young children using computers.

35．From the passage, we know that two experts are invited to ________.

A．tell toddlers how to learn computer skills successfully

B．show a new trend that kids learn to use computers at a very young age

C．present different opinions on whether kids should learn computer technology

D．introduce a new school that has opened computer courses for young children

American and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English.

      36       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 their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.

Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English. Words sometimes have different meanings too.       37       Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries.

      38       In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you “phone them up”. In America, you “give them a call”.

There are 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.       39     

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.       40       Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France.

A．English is widely used in China.

B．It can also happen to other languages, such as French.

C．For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different.

D．They say “Have you a storybook?”

E．Many expressions are also different in the two countries.

F．First of all, they sound very different.

The government officers also invited the students     44     to Zibo again when spring came. I     45     when I heard this.

At 5 pm, we arrived at the restaurant. My father had booked a table two days earlier. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be any seats for us. There are some     46     between Zibo’s barbecue and the ones in other cities. Zibo’s barbecue restaurants have a small grill（烤架）on each table. People need to cook on the grill     47    . When the food is ready, you put it onto a small pancake, and then     48     scallions（葱）and sauce before eating.

People in the restaurant didn’t know each other before. But we just talked naturally about daily life and sang together. The boss of the restaurant even danced. Some local people even     49     their orders when they heard there weren’t enough seats. They wanted tourists from other places to have the chance to eat.

After eating the delicious food, I kept thinking about     50     Zibo barbecue became popular. Is it the promise between the government and the college students, or the special, tasty food, or the warmhearted people?

In the Song Dynasty, there was a painter called Wen Tong. He was not only admired for his great learning, but also well k   51    for his bamboo paintings. Every day many people v    52     him to learn his painting skills. What was the s    53     of his paintings? Actually, Wen Tong loved bamboos so much that he g    54     different kinds of bamboos around his house.

Two weeks later, the children made another note. They held it up as The Green Dragon rushed past. The notice said, “MOTHER IS NEARLY WELLAGAIN. THANK YOU.”

The old gentleman saw the notice. He smiled and waved to the children.

When they told Mother about the old gentleman, she was very angry with them. “It was wrong to ask a stranger for help,” she said. Then, she stopped being angry and began to cry. The children thought this was worse.

“I’m sorry I was angry with you, she said”. “I know you don’t really understand. We’re poor, but we have enough money for food. You must never ever again ask anyone to give you things.”

The next day was Roberta’s birthday. Mother told her to go away and stay away until teatime.

She felt very lonely in the garden, so she walked out of it and down the lane to the canal. While Roberta was standing on the bridge looking down at the barges(驳船), the doctor came up in his small horse and cart. “Hello, head nurse,” he said. “Do you want a ride home?” Roberta got into the cart and sat next to the doctor.

Roberta let the doctor go on to his house and she stayed in the garden until teatime. When she went inside, there were twelve candles on the table, flowers, and some little parcels. As she walked into the room, Mother, Phyllis, and Peter sang a song to her.

Mother wrote the words for a birthday song every year.

Our darling Robert

No sorrow shall hurt her

If we can prevent it

Her whole life long.

Her birthday's our party day

We'll make it our great day

And give her our presents

And sing her our song

At the end of the song, Mother said, “Three cheers for Roberta.” And she, Phyllis, and Peter shouted, “Hip! Hip! Hooray!”
