People who speak or perform before the public sometimes may suffer from \"Stage Fright\". Stage fright makes a person 16 .

Diana Nichols is an expert in helping people free from stage fright at a medical center in New York City. She helps actors learn to 19 themselves. Miss Nichols says some people have always been afraid to perform before the audience. Others, she says, develop stage fright after a sad 20 .

She offers them ways to control the fear. One way is to smile before going onto the stage. Taking two deep breaths 21 helps. Deep breathing helps you get control of your body.

Miss Nichols advises her patients to tell themselves that their speech or performance does not have to be perfect. It's 22 to make a mistake. She tells them they should not be too nervous while they are performing. It is important that they should continue to perform while she is helping them. After each performance, they discuss what happened and 23 what helped and what did not. 24 they perform more and more, they will fear less and less as much as 50%. Miss Nichols says the aim is only to 25 stage fright, not to smooth it away completely. This is because a little stage fright makes a person more careful, and improves the performance. 16.

Hi, my name is Tony, and I remember the first Halloween I spent in the United Sates. I was in the sixth grade, trying my best to study as hard as I could to learn English well. Even though I studied English in my hometown, , I was still not able to communicate in English. I realized that my classmates were talking about how they would dress on Halloween, but

— 3 —

I didn‘t know what Halloween was.

That year Halloween came on Saturday. I was home most of the day studying. I didn‘t have a chance to go outside and see how everyone was dressed.

After dinner, my parents turned off all the lights and went to their room. They did this so they could ignore(不理会) the children coming to the house for treats. But they didn‘t tell me about it. I was in my room, so I didn‘t know what was happening. After a while I went out of my room to get a drink of water. I realized that the house was dark very early, and I thought that my parents were tired after a long day of work. I didn‘t have any brothers or sisters to come with me, so I felt lonely in the dark house. I was not used to that. Then it happened．When I was drinking my glass of water, the doorbell rang. I looked out of my window. There were four or five ghosts and witches standing at my front door!

I was so scared that I started screaming and I covered myself with my blanket. I tried not to scream, but I couldn‘t stop. My father came running into my room asking me what was the matter. I told him about the ghosts and the witches, and he explained to me about Halloween. I felt a little better after knowing the truth but I also felt embarrassed about being afraid．

That was my first experience with Halloween. Now, each year I remind my parents, weeks before Halloween, to buy candy, and when I do it, my dad laughs at me about that incident. 31．Why didn‘t Tony know what Halloween was when his classmates were talking about it? A．He was too young. B．He didn‘t understand them. C．He was in HK. D．He hadn‘t the special costumes. 32．What day was Halloween that year? A．Wednesday. B．Sunday. C．Saturday. D．Tuesday. 33．Which of the following is TRUE about Tony‘s first experience with Halloween? A．Tony talked with his brothers or sisters before going to bed. B．The lights weren‘t turned off in Tony‘s house until midnight. C．He spent most of the day sleeping so that he missed Halloween.

D．He saw four or five persons with ghosts and witches costumes out of his window. 34．What did Tony do after he looked out of the window? A．He was too scared to cry. B．He was so frightened that he did nothing. C．He stopped screaming and looked at his father. D．He screamed and used his blanket to cover himself.

35．What does the underlined word ―embarrassed‖ mean according to the passage? A．Uncomfortable. B．Angry. C．Delightful. D．Bored.

He Junquan is a Chinese swimmer and has won many Paralympic(残奥会) gold medals. Born in Jingmen, Hubei province, He Junquan was a healthy boy. But one day at the age of three, he climbed up to the high-voltage electricity(高压线) box and lost both of his arms forever. He became a disabled boy!

From then on he learnt to do everything with his feet: writing,

eating, getting dressed and taking things. Seeing other pupils swimming in the river, he jumped in, too. Without arms, he suffered a lot in the river at the beginning. But he finally learnt to balance himself in water and could swim much faster than the other pupils. Once he even saved a little boy who fell into the water and couldn‘t swim. His father was so happy to see that this son had a talent

— 4 —

in swimming.

In 1995, He Junquan became a real swimmer. He practices swimming for more than four hours every day. Since 1996, he has won more than twelve gold medals of the world class. At the 2008 Summer Paralympics, he won a silver medal. Reporting on the competition at the 2008 Games, Will Swanton of the Sydney Morning Herald wrote:

“The Water Cube has been a sight for sore(气愤的) eyes. China’s He Junquan, with no arms, was leading the 50m backstroke(仰泳) final. … He came to the finish--- and had to crash into the wall with his head．As he slowed down to lessen(减少) the impact(撞击力), Brazilian Daniel Dias hit the wall first with a hand．You’ve never heard a silence like it.” 36．What happened to He Junquan when he was three?

A．He climbed up the tree but failed onto the ground．

B．He saved a little boy who fell into the river and couldn‘t swim.

C．He climbed up to the high-voltage electricity box and lost his two arms.

D．He began to practice swimming in the swimming pool with the other children. 37．How did He Junquan do everything after he became disabled?

38．How many gold medals did He Junquan win after he became a real swimmer?

A．Only one. B．Less than four. C．About ten. D．More than twelve. 39．What might Swanton‘s report want to tell us?

A．A Terrible Accident B．A Disabled Boy C．An Unforgettable Experience D．A Hero without Arms

( D )

Before New Year‘s Day, many of us begin trying to keep our New Year‘s resolutions(决心). But unluckily, most of us will give up on them before the month is over. Why are we always making these yearly pledges(保证)? And why are they so hard to keep?

Each new year brings the chance to start over and make a new beginning. It seems like the perfect time to deal with some of our bad habits.

During the holiday season, which begins with Thanksgiving, Americans usually eat too much. That could explain why the first resolution on many lists is to lose weight!

Along with eating too much comes spending too much. At Christmastime, people sometimes spend more than they can afford．This often involves using credit cards instead of cash. After the holidays, many are ready to take control of their lives. And New Year‘s Day feels like the ideal time to start!

Making permanent(永久的) changes can be difficult because it often involves changing the way we act. When doctors tell patients they will die unless they make lifestyle changes, most don‘t listen. In fact, researchers have found that only one in seven makes the necessary changes!

We cling to(墨守) our habits even when they‘re not good for us. And we refuse to change even when it‘s our own idea．So how can we follow through on our resolutions?

— 5 —

 Make them positive(乐观的)

Negative(消极的) language makes us feel like we‘re being published．Replace ―I won‘t eat sweets‖ with ―I‘ll enjoy more of my favourite fruit each day.‖  Make them specific

Don‘t say, ―I‘ll exercise more this year.‖ Instead say, ―I‘ll walk around the park four times a week.‖  Make them realistic

After three months, review your goals. If they‘re not working, change or replace them with new ones. You‘ll have greater success keeping your resolutions if they realistically match your lifestyle. 41．What does each new year bring people according to the passage? A．A plan to change their jobs. B．A chance to change everything. C．A party to meet old friends. D．A chance to make a new beginning. 42．What might be the cause of American‘s first resolution according to the passage? A．Americans eat too much at Thanksgiving. B．Americans stay out too late during holidays.

C．Americans celebrate Thanksgiving with families and relatives. D．Americans spend too much money celebrating Christmas. 43．From Para 5 we can learn that . A．6/7 patients make the necessary changes B．making permanent changes is impossible C．it‘s hard for people to have a new lifestyle D．it‘s easy for people to change their lifestyles

44．Which of the following is a suitable resolution according to the passage? A．I will not eat sweet snacks any more. B．I‘ll enjoy at least two books each month. C．I‘ll become a super star within 10 months. D．I‘ll practice dancing hi-pop all day and night this year. 45．In which part of newspaper could we find this article? A．Advertisements. B．Jobs. C．News. D．Lives.

五、阅读短文 (共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分)

A) 阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容，在文章后第62—71小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。

If you receive an e-mail that looks something like this: ARE YOU GOING TO CLASS TODAY? How does reading this message make you feel? Why did the sender use all capital letters? Was he or she angry, or did that person just forget to turn off the ‗Cap Lock‘ on the computer? The fact is, this e-mail is usually the way that people shout online. Knowing when and when not to use capital letters is just one example of online etiquette(礼

仪) —often called ‗netiquette‘. Virginia Shea‘s book, Netiquette, lists a basic set of dos and don‘ts for communicating suitably with others on the Internet. Following are some of her suggestions.

First, always remember that you are sending messages to a real person, not just to a computer. Don‘t type anything that you wouldn‘t say to someone‘s face. Also, remember that the person who receives your message cannot hear the tone of your voice, or see the expression on your face, so make sure your meaning is clear.

Don‘t do anything online that you wouldn‘t do in real life. Don‘t take anything without paying for it, unless it‘s free. Don‘t use information that someone else has written, and say it‘s yours. Don‘t read other people‘s e-mail—you wouldn‘t open your next-door neighbor‘s mailbox and open their mail, right? Do share your knowledge of the Internet with others. It‘s a big place with lots of information, and there are many new things to discover.

Remember that people judge(判断) you by your words as well as your actions, so do try to write well. Good writing skills, as well as correct grammar and spelling, do matter. Send polite, well-written e-mail messages to others. If you‘re uncertain about how to spell a word or which phrases to use, look it up. There are lots of helpful books and websites.

It‘s okay to show your ideas online in forums(论坛) like chat room or message boards, but don‘t start arguments with people. ‗Flame wars‘ in online discussions can be interesting to read, but are often unfair to other members of the group. Express your opinions, but remember that fighting online or offline is just not suitable.

When you‘re online, just as in ‗real‘ life, try to respect(尊重) other people‘s space, privacy and feelings. Remember, you are not the only one travelling on this highway! Netiquette--- a (62) ▲ about manners online Express your meaning (63) ▲ . () ▲ out new things and share your knowledge with others. Send (65) ▲ , well-written e-mails to others. Respect other people‘s space, privacy and (66) ▲ . What to do Show your ideas online in forums like chat room or (67) ▲ boards. Don‘t send all (68) ▲ letters if you don‘t want to shout online. Don‘t (69) ▲ anything you wouldn‘t say to someone. Don‘t do anything online that you wouldn‘t do in (70) ▲ life. What not to do Don‘t start to (71) ▲ with people. B) 根据短文内容和首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 Have you ever heard of the saying that ―two heads are better than one‖? In fact, it talks about one thing: teamwork. When two or more people work or play together to (72)r ▲ a common goal, they make a team. The goal might be to win a game of football, to finish a (73) d ▲ task or to win a quiz. To achieve the goal, they must have good teamwork.

Teamwork is an excellent (74)w ▲ for students to share what they know. While one student may not know all that is needed, two or more together might. When (75)p ▲ a basketball game, for example, some of the team may be better runners, others make great attack players, others are strong and make great defenders(防守) and others are (76)g ▲ at shooting a basket. They bring their skills together and achieve things as a team that they couldn‘t do (77)a ▲ . There are two things that make a team successful. One is how well the team as a whole achieves its goal. The other is how well each (78)m ▲ of the team plays for the group. For example, think of a football team. The team wins the game but only a few players kept the ball to (79)t ▲ , so that some people had nothing to do. That‘s not a successful team.

On the other hand, everyone in the team might get the chance to keep the ball, (80)b__▲___ they might not work well together. That‘s not a successful team, (81)e ▲ . If the team wants to do well, each player must work hard and work together to win the game.

Now, think of a game you have played．Have you made good teamwork? 六、书面表达 (满分15分)

你最近在网络上认识了一个英国笔友Bill，你们谈到各自的学校生活，他对你的课外活动非常好奇，想了解你最喜欢的一项或两项课外活动。请你用英文给他写一封邮件来进行介绍。 要求： 1．词数80左右；
