What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape（逃脱）? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.
Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know about the ways you can use, such as stairways or fire escapes but not lifts. And more importantly, show them to everyone in your family.
From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible. So learning the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury is quite necessary.
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average（平均高度的）person, hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or the smoke and fire may spread into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get the fresh air rather than the smoke that may leaked（渗）into the room.
On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement（水泥）might end in injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.
44. If you’re in a burning house, it is important to __________.
A. put out the fire on your own B. know the ways to escape
C. jump off the burning house D. keep the door open to get fresh air
45. It is possible to escape through the windows __________.
A. if there are some bushes on the ground B. if you are strong enough
C. if you live on a lower floor D. if you have a long rope
46. The second floor window might be a good choice to escape from because __________.
A. it’s not too high from the ground B. others can see you clearly and save you
C. you’re able to get the fresh air there D. sometimes the stairways cannot be used
47. Which of the following escaping way is NOT right?
A. You can escape through stairways B. You can choose fire escapes
C. Escape from the windows that open onto a roof D. Use a lift to come down at once
C
In the United States, sometimes when one becomes rich, he wants everyone to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is a story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.
The expression was first used in1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23, and that was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw rich people riding horses, Momand went horse-riding every day. When he saw that the rich had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because another one was always trying to keep up. The race ended when Momand and his wife finally found that they could no longer pay for their new way of life and had to move back to an old apartment in New York City.
Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do such things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series（系列）of short novels, and he called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Since then, Momand’s series came out in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what he does, a Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.
48. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they __________.
A. want to be as rich as their neighbors B. want others to know or to think that they are rich
C. don’t want others to know they are rich D. want to be as happy as others
49. It can be inferred（推测）from the story that rich people like to __________.
A. go horse-riding with neighbors B. live inside New York City
C. compare with others D. give big parties for servants
50. Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of novels because “Jones” is __________.
A. an important name to Mr. Momand B. not a good name to Americans
C. Mr. Momand’s neighbor’s name D. a popular name in the United States
51. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph（段落）tells us that __________.
A. keeping up with Joneses helps you to know what you’re able to do
B. according to the writer, it is impossible to keep up with the Joneses
C. people can be rich and successful by having competitions with others
D. we should fight for a better life on our own instead of depending on others
D
President Barack Obama gave a back-to-school speech to American students on the first school day after summer holiday. The following is what he said.
I am Barack Hussein Obama. I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. Today is the first day of school. I’m here because I want to talk with you about your education. I know it’s not always easy to do well in school. I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus (专注) on your schoolwork. I know what it’s like. My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mom who had to work hard at times to pay the bills and wasn’t always able to give us the things that other kids had. There were times when I missed having a father in my life. There were times when I was lonely and I felt like I didn’t fit in. So I did some things I’m not proud of, and I got in more trouble than I should have. But I was lucky. I got a lot of second chances, and I had the opportunity to go to college and law school and follow my dreams. My wife has a similar story. Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn’t have a lot of money. But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.
As we can see, none of that is an excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude (态度) in school. You should give enough care to your homework and be active in school. There’s also no excuse for cutting class, or dropping out of school. There is no excuse for not trying. Where you are right now doesn’t have to decide where you’ll end up. No one’s written your destiny (命运) for you. You write your own destiny. You make your own future. That’s why today I’m calling on each of you to make a plan for your education and do everything you can to meet it. Your plan can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time each day reading a book. Maybe you’ll decide to take part in an after-class activity, or volunteer in your neighborhood. Maybe you’ll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn. So I expect all of you to get serious this year. I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. I expect great things from each of you. So don’t let us down. Don’t let your family down or your teachers down. Most of all, don’t let yourself down. Make us all proud.
52. According to Obama, students can go to the best schools by __________.
A. having much money B. learning from their fathers
C. trying their best to study D. giving what they have to other kids
53. As a student, you can be much better at English by doing these except (除了) __________.
A. doing homework carefully B. reading something you enjoy every day
C. joining an English club after class D. cutting English classes
54. The Chinese meaning of the word “neglecting” in this passage is probably “__________”.
A. 重视B. 忽略C. 上传D. 提高
55. From this passage, we can see Obama mainly wants to tell the students___________.
A. the importance of education B. everyone has his own destiny
C. the history of Wakefield High School D. his childhood without a father

Since the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to connect our brain with computers. Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands(指令)to machines.
Recently two researchers, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne. Switzerland, showed us a small robotic wheelchair directed（指挥）by a person’s thoughts.
In the laboratory. Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand “Our brain has billions of cells（细胞）. These send signals（信号）through the spinal cord（脊髓）to the muscles（肌肉）to give us the ability to move. But some injuries or other conditions can stop these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles.” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with outside world by controlling the machines with thoughts.”
The researchers designed a special cap for the user. It picks up the signals from our brain and sends them to a computer. The computer gets the signals and starts to command the wheelchair after a short while.
Prof. Millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that gets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two kinds: communication, and controlling machines. One example is this wheelchair.”
He says his team has set a main goal. That is to test with real patients, so as to prove that this is such a technology they can benefit（获益）from.
56. BCI is a technology that can __________.
A. help the disabled to be healthy again B. help to improve computers
C. control a person’s thoughts D. connect human brain with computers
57. Which of the following shows the right path（途径）of the signals described in Paragraph 4?
A. brain→computer→cap→wheelchair B. computer→cap→brain→wheelchair
C. cap→computer→brain→wheelchair D. brain→cap→computer→wheelchair
58. Prof. Millan’s team will test their products with real patients to __________.
A. make them live longer B. prove that the technology is useful to them
C. learn about their physical conditions D. have a better understanding of computers
59. The best title of this passage might be __________.
A. Switzerland, the BCI Research Center
B. New Findings about How the Human Brain Works
C. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disabled
D. BCI Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries

VI. 任务型阅读。（65-67每小题2分，68题3分，共9分）
阅读下文并回答问题。
Do you have sleeping problems? Is it hard for you to remember or pay attention in class? Do you easily get angry? If your answer is yes, you may be under pressure.
Stress is a normal physical response to things that make people feel worried. In China, about 70 percent of the 2000 students to take the college or high school entrance examination are under high stress, according to a recent survey by Wuhan University of Hubei province.
Sometimes stress is good for people. It pushes people to do their best, like while getting ready before a big competition or exam. However, too much or long-term stress makes people feel much too stressed out, and influences people’s health.
When you feel stressed, there are some ways you can deal with it. Learning to solve small problems in everyday life is helpful. It can help build confidence to move on to life’s bigger ones. Try saying positive things to yourself, like “I will do the best I can,” or “I can do this if I take one step at a time.” That encourages you to work toward your goal. It is also important to relax sometimes, for example by getting a good night’s sleep, doing exercises or taking a bath. But if you are under high stress and can’t handle it by yourself, it is also good to ask parents or friends for help. Everyone has stress. Don’t be too shy to tell them that you are having a hard time. They may comfort（安慰） you or give you some useful advice. You may feel better just from sharing your problems with them.
65. Is stress natural to people who feel worried?
__________________________________________________________________________
66. How does long-term stress make people feel?
___________________________________________________________________________
67. Whom should you share your stress with?
__________________________________________________________________________
68. Is stress sometimes good for people? Why or why not?

VIII. 短文填空。（每空2分，共16分）
根据下面短文内容，在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词，使短文完整、通顺。
There is an old Spanish saying, “Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week.” How many times have we put o 74 our dreams until tomorrow? I’d say there are too many. Our dreams should not, and cannot wait. We have to go for them now! Here’s why.
Tomorrow doesn’t always come
If today were the last day of your life, would you want to just sit around wasting time? Nobody likes to talk about 75 , but the truth is that everybody is going to die one day. Therefore, today is all we have. Make the decision to go after every dream, no matter how big or small it is right now.
The world is waiting on your talents
You may find it hard to believe, but the world is waiting on YOU! Yes, YOU! You were 76 with a unique (独一无二的) talent into the world. From the beginning to the end of the lifelong journey, your talents will always be your own, and a part of you. So it is your responsibility (责任) to f 77 out what your talent is, and use it to better your life and the lives of those around you.
Take the first step
You can dream about writing the great American play all you want, but it’s never going to happen _78 you actually put pen to paper. In other words, dreams don’t work if you do 79 . You need to get your head out of the clouds, and do something to make dreams come true.
Don’t let fear win
One of the 80 dream killers is fear. Compared with fear, other dream killers are much smaller. In fact, fear is not real. It is only a product of thoughts you create. Imagine how much happier you’ll be if you’re living the life you always dream about. Go after them today! Don’t 81 your dreams waiting.
74. 75. 76. 77.
78. 79. 80. 81.
