When I was 15, I announced to my English class that I was going to write my own books. All the students nearly fell out of their chairs, laughing at me. “Don’t be 31 . Only geniuses (天才) can become writers,” the English teacher said sarcastically(諷刺地). “And you are getting a D this term.” I was hurt deeply and I cried sadly.

That night I wrote a short, sad poem about 32 dreams and mailed it to the Capper’s Weekly newspaper. To my surprise, they published it, and sent me two dollars. I was a(an) 33 writer! I showed my teacher and my classmates. They laughed again. “Just plain dumb luck,(純屬僥倖)” the teacher said. However, I’d tasted 34 . I’d sold the first thing I’d ever written.

By the time I graduated from high school(with a C-minus average), I had scrapbooks filled with my published 35 . I never talked about my writing to my teachers, friends or my family again. They were dream killers, and if people must choose between their friends and their dreams, they must always choose their dreams.

Later, I wrote a book about what I understood and 36 about life. It took me nine months, just like a(an) 37 . I chose a publisher and wrote a letter, which read: “I wrote this book myself, I hope you like it. Chapters(章節) 6 and 12 are my 38 . Thank you.” I mailed it without an envelope.

A month later, I received a letter, and a request to start working on 39 book. Crying Wind became a bestseller, and was translated into 15 languages. People ask what college I attended, what degrees I have, and what qualities I have to be a writer. The answer is 40 . I just write. I’m not a genius, and I’m not gifted. I just write. To all those who dream of 41 , I’m shouting at you, “Yes, you 42 ! Don’t listen to them!” Writing is easy. It’s fun, and anyone can do it.

A

Imagine a classroom missing the one thing that has long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing? No paper, no books, no test paper. Nor are there any pencils or pens which always seem to run out of ink at the important moment.

A "paperless classroom" is what more and more schools are trying to achieve. Students don’t do any handwriting in this class. Instead, they use hand-sized or specially-designed computers. The teacher downloads information from Internet libraries and sends them to every student’s personal computer.

Having computers also means that students can use the Web. They can look up information on any subject they’re studying from math to social science. High school teacher Judy Herrell in Florida, US, described how her class used the Web to learn about what’s going on in the world.

“We could touch every side of the country through different sites from the forest to refugee(難民) camps” she said. “Using a book that’s three or four years old is impossible.” And exams can go online too. At a high school in Tennessee, US, students take tests on their own computers. The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them to his own grade book on the Internet.

A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper. High school teacher Stephanie Sorrell in Kentucky, US, said she used to give about 900 pieces of paper each week to each student.

"Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers," she said. But, with all this technology, there's always the risk that the machines will break down. So, paper books are still widely available for these hi-tech students.

43. In a paperless classroom, what is a must?

A. Pens. B. Computers. C. Information. D. books.

44. The high school teacher, Judy Herrell, used the example of her class to show that .

A. the Web could take them everywhere

B. the Web taught them a lot

C. the Web can help students have online exams.

D. the Web can help students get the latest news.

45. Which of the following is not the writer’s opinion?

A. The paperless classroom will be good for trees.

B. There are some differences between the paperless studies and those in the usually way.

C. Paper books are no longer useful.

D. Paper-free studies are popular with more and more schools.

B

After the Spring Festival, I found some of my mom’s daily habits have changed.

Her cooking way was different. Vegetables that had been cooked crisply(脆) became very tender and soft. Fish that had been fried(煎炸的) became soup. Her old shredded (切成細條的) potato turned into diced potato… Feeling strange, dad and I asked Mom the reason for the change. But all she said was, “Just trying a different taste”. Then she was silent.

But it wasn’t just her cooking way. _______________. After dinner, instead of watching films on TV as usual, she would put on her newly-bought sports clothes and asked Dad to go out for a walk. After they came back home, mom would lose herself in magazines or newspapers about healthcare. Mom almost never gets sick. Why was she suddenly interested in medicine?

I couldn’t understand her “abnormal” behavior. Then one day I came across her micro blog(博客). “While visiting my parents during the Spring Festival, I suddenly realized that they are in their 70s now,” my mom had written. “They move slowly and it is hard for them to do the housework. I should visit them more often…

“Some cooking should be changed to keep them healthy. They like fish soup, diced potato, tender and soft vegetables…

“I must also keep fit by doing physical exercise. If my parents are too weak to move around, I can be strong enough to take care of them. When I am old, my son can also pay less attention to taking care of me…”

When I read this, I felt very sorry. I used to complain that Mom didn’t understand me and couldn’t give me everything I wanted. I always thought there was a wide gap(溝) between us. But now I completely understand her. How great she is! She always thinks of others before herself. Everything she does is to help the people she loves live better lives. How unselfish her love is!

46. Which of the following can be put into the underlined part in line 6?

A. Mom also changed other habits. B. Mom didn’t want to do anything else.

C. Mom began to take interest in sports. D. Mom complained she was very tired.

47. Why did mom change her cooking way?

A. Because she wanted to try a different taste.

B. Because she wasn’t interested in cooking any more.

C. Because she was suddenly interested in medicine.

D. Because she tried to find a cooking way suitable for her parents.

48. The writer talks about the story mainly to show that . http://w b1. com

A. mom has changed her daily habits B. mom’s love can be great and selfless

C. a wide gap between mom and me D. the importance of mom’s cooking way

What do you usually do when a flying insect lands on your arm? You may blow it away. But what if that insect is a ladybug (瓢蟲)? It is possible that you would let it stay. What is it about ladybugs that we like?

Farmers once thought ladybugs were a good lucky sign. A ladybug in the field meant the crops would be successful and that the weather would be good. The farmers may have thought too highly of such a small bug, but in fact ladybugs do help out with the crops. They eat harmful insects.

Actually, it is not the adult ladybug that eats other insects. It’s the baby ladybug. When the baby ladybugs hatch (孵化), they are very hungry and will eat mites, aphids, mealy bugs, green flies, and other crop-destroyers. In the 1800s, ladybugs were brought all the way from Australia to California and set free among orange trees that were dying from being eaten by insects. They completely saved all the trees.

Ladybugs go about their daily business without worrying much about anything. Very few birds or insects will eat a ladybug because it gives off a dangerous fluid (液體). Ladybugs also protect themselves by playing dead. They fall off leaves and never move until their attacker goes away.

So the next time you see a ladybug, think about what it may be doing. Maybe it is off to save an orange tree. Maybe its next move will be to roll off a leaf and play dead or stand up to a bird about 100 times its size. Maybe it’s letting you know that the weather will be good tomorrow. Who knows? Ladybugs are special that way.

49. Ladybugs were brought from Australia to California in the 1800s to .

A. add more ladybugs to area B. report the weather for farmers

C. act as a lucky sign of good crops D. save orange trees by eating insects

50. From the passage we know that .

A. it’s the adult ladybug that eats most of the harmful insects

B. ladybugs often roll off a leaf and play dead to attack the birds

C. ladybugs can give off a dangerous fluid to protect themselves

D. the baby ladybug mainly eats mites, aphids, mealybugs, and oranges

51. The underlined phrase “stand up to” most probably means . xK b1.C om

A. watch B. support C. save D. fight

D

For a long time being happy was considered something that just happened, and there was nothing special about it. Now we know that getting along with other people is something that we can work at. It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better. One way is being unselfish, not wanting everything from our friends. Another way is to look for good points, not bad points in other people. It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be.

You do not have to be spineless (優柔寡斷的) in order to be popular. In fact, you will be liked or loved if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights (正當行為). But do it politely and pleasantly. Being friendly and polite to your group, to other people and to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character.

You cannot expect to be perfect, and you must learn not to be unhappy when you make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed if he does not refuse to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged (灰心喪氣的) when they know in themselves qualities that they do not like—selfishness, laziness, and other unpleasant qualities. Just remember that we all have some of these faults (缺點) and have to fight against them.

At the same time, it is important to remember that while you are probably no worse than others, the best way to be happy is to think yourself above other people. When something is wrong, it is good sense to try to make it right. Perhaps you do not like a teacher or a classmate. Try to see why, and look at yourself, too, to be sure that you are not doing anything to make that person dislike you. Some day, things may turn out all right when you have to learn to get along the best with the situation, without thinking too much about it. Worrying never helps in a situation you cannot change.

52. One of the two ways the writer suggests for us to get along with others is to __________.

A. work hard at everything we do B. enjoy the best share of everything

C. look for treasure in order to be successful D. pay more attention to their strong points

53. If a person wants to be popular, he or she has to __________.

A. be polite and friendly B. give up some rights

C. get away arguing with other people D. be ready to change his or her character

54. There is no person but someone should be blamed if he or she __________.

A. is modest and generous B. does not draw a lesson from his or her own mistake

C. is selfish and lazy D. is very happy with unpleasant quality

55. The purpose for the writer to write the passage is to __________.

A. train you to be perfect B. show you the way to be happy

C. tell you how to act when you dislike a person D. teach you how to be popular among your friends

五、閲讀表達(共5小題;每小題1分，滿分5分)

閲讀下面短文，並根據所讀內容在文章後的表格中填入恰當的單詞，每空一詞。

Much meaning can be conveyed (傳送) with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak. Do you have such kind of experience? In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared (盯) at, he may feel uncomfortable.

The same is in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward other’s stare at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?

Looking too long at someone may seem to be impolite and even rude. But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex. If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn his eyes away from the woman, his purpose is obvious. That is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her.

However, the normal eye contact for two people during a conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time; in order to make sure that the listener is paying attention to what the speaker is speaking, to tell him that he is interested.

If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to control you, you will feel uncomfortable. A poor liar(説謊者) usually looks too long at the victim, because he believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.

In fact, continuous eye contact only happens between two lovers, who will enjoy looking at each other gently for a long time, to show feeling that words cannot express. Obviously, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the proper situation.

Eyes can talk

In our daily life A lot of feelings can be conveyed to others with our eyes. There are a lot of facts to prove it.

You may feel 56 if you are stared at for more than necessary. And you wonder if there is anything wrong with you. If not, you will feel very angry.

When staring at the opposite sex Looking too long at a woman you 57 means that you want to attract her attention.

And most of time, continuous eye contact is just for two lovers.

When having a 58

with others If the speaker looks at the listener at 59 during the conversation, it’s a normal eye contact.

If the speaker is a liar, looking straight in the eye too long isn’t a sign of honest communication.

So remember to look at others at the 60 time. If not, it will make others uncomfortable.

Our Future Life in ChangzhouWhat will the life in Changzhou be like in the future? Most of my classmates think that the underground will be put in service in 2015. People won’t need buses because they can go around the city easily and quickly by underground. As a result, there will be less noise pollution. More than half of the students believe that people will have robots at home in 2045. Robots will do everything for people, so they can spare more time to develop their interest. Less than half of the students support the opinion that people will eat a kind of special food in form of pills in 2075. It will be unnecessary for people to spend much time on meals. About 30 students insist that people will never get ill in 2105 because scientists and doctors will find a new way to keep people healthy forever. Isn’t it amazing to have such a kind of future life?

An egg falls down to the bottom if you drop it into a glass of drinking water, but what will happen if you add salt? The results are very interesting and we can learn something from the fact.

First pour water into the glass until it is about half full. Then put 6 spoons of salt into the water.

Carefully pour in drinking water until the glass is nearly full. Be careful not to mix the salty water with the drinking water.

At last, put the egg into the water and watch what happens.

Salt water is heavier than drinking water. When you put the egg into the water, it drops through the drinking water until reaches the salty water.

Jack lives on the twelfth floor in a tall building. Aunt Mary lives two floors below Jack. She is old and she lives alone. She has a very lovely cat named Kitty. Jack often goes to Mary’s flat to do something for her. He loves the cat very much. And the cat loves him, too.

Last Thursday evening, Jack finished his homework and went to bed. Suddenly he heard someone knocking at the door. He opened the door. He was surprised to find a cat at the door. It was the cat Kitty. Jack thought there was something wrong with Mary. He telephoned her, but no one answered it. Jack ran out with the cat and rushed down the stairs to Mary’s flat. Just before he got to the door, he found a man with a bag running out of Mary’s house. Jim shouted, “Catch the robber! Catch the robber!” Some neighbors woke up and came out. Someone called “110 ”, and the police caught the robber at last.
