卷上将该题涂黑。
A
One day, Jack threw some papers on my desk. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “Next time you want to change anything, ask me first,” he said, and left. I had made just one small change. But it was not that I hadn’t been warned. My colleagues had said he was responsible for the resignations(辞职) of the two previous secretaries. As the weeks went by, I came to look down on Jack.
After that another of his episodes(片段) had left me in tears. I stormed into his office. “What?” he said suddenly. “Jack, the way you’ve been treating me is wrong. I’ve never had anyone speak to me that way. As a professional, it’s wrong for me to allow it to continue,” I said. Jack smiled nervously, “Susan, I make you a promise that I will be a friend. I will treat you as you deserve to be treated, with respect and kindness.”
Jack avoided me the rest of the week, and never questioned my work again. I brought cookies to the office one day and left some on his desk. Another day I left a note, “Hope your day is going great. ” Over the next few weeks, there were no more Jack episodes. One year later, I discovered I had breast cancer, and was scared. The statistics were not great for my long-term survival.
One day, however, Jack visited me in the hospital and silently handed me a bundle with several bulbs inside. “Tulips(郁金香),” he said. I smiled, not understanding. “If you plant them when you get home, they’ll come up next spring. I think you will be there to see them when they come up. Next spring you will see the colours I picked out for you.” Tears clouded my eyes and he left. I have seen those red and white striped（有条纹的）tulips push through the soil every spring for over ten years now. This past September the doctor declared me cured. At a moment when I was praying for just the right word, a man with very few words said all the right things. After all, that’s what friends do. 26. Jack became angry that day because__________.

29. From the passage, we can conclude that__________. A. Jack cares about his employees

The UK has a wellrespected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world. But to those who are new to it all, sometimes it can be confusing．
October is usually the busiest month in the college calendar. Universities have something called Freshers’ Week for their newcomers. It’s a great opportunity to make new friends, join lots of clubs and settle into university life．
However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, the prospect（ 前 景）of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nervewracking（令人头痛的）. Where do you start? Who should you make friends with? Which clubs should you join?
Luckily, there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot. So just take it all in slowly. Don’t rush into anything that you’ll regret for the next three years.
Here is some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers’ Week：
●Learn rules. Make sure you know British social etiquette（ 礼 节 ） . Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.
●Be kind. Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends.
●Be sociable. The more active you are, the more likely you’ll be to meet new people than if you’re someone who never leaves their room.
●Bring a doorstop. Keep your door open when you’re in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you’re friendly.
So with a bit of clever planning and effort, Freshers’ Week can give you a great start to your university life and soon you’ll be passing on your experience to next year’s new recruits．
31．Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the passage？ A．October is generally the busiest month for universities． B．It’s a good idea to have a doorstop.

D．The first week of your every year at university is called Freshers’ Week． 32．The underlined word “recruits” in the last paragraph refers to ．
A．courses B．freshers C．neighbors D．challenges 33．We can infer from the 4th paragraph that ．
A．the newcomers usually miss the days living at home B．most of the students in the UK spend three years in universities C．many freshers are worried about how to fit university life D．all the new students will make new friends and join certain clubs
34．Why does the author suggest having wine glasses and snacks handy？ A．To pass the busy university life．
B．To help make friends with other freshers． C．To show yourself a drinker as others． D．To pass the time in a happy way．
35．The main purpose of the passage is to ．
A．tell the newcomers how to make a new start in universities
B．introduce something about higher education system of the UK C．discuss something about the Freshers’ Week in the UK
D．advise the freshmen how to behave well in the beginning
C
Every American family has its own traditions on Thanksgiving Day, and mine is no difference. Once the national holiday arrives, my mom rises early to make the meal. She puts a turkey in the oven, chops carrots and bakes pies. I’m sorry to say that the men in the family – my dad, my younger brother and myself – rarely pitch in to help. Our job is to wash the mountain of dirty dishes after the meal is over.
Around 2 pm every Thanksgiving Day, family members seat themselves around the kitchen table. Plates of turkey, vegetables, salad, rolls and pies cover it. At this point, we can hardly keep ourselves from drooling (流口水) all over our fancy clothes, but it’s not yet time to eat.
First, we must bow our heads, close our eyes and say a prayer of thanks aloud to God for giving us everything we have. Under normal circumstances, I would have no problem making a list of things I am thankful for. I grew up in a loving family. My parents, who aren’t wealthy, took out loans to help me pay for university.
But, the funny thing is, every time I sit down for Thanksgiving dinner and try to say a prayer of thanks, my mind usually goes blank. I think it has something to do with my growling (咕咕叫) stomach and all of that food sitting right there under my nose.
Eventually, though, we all finish our short prayers and dig in. To be sure, the day includes other highlights – visiting with family and watching football. But usually around 6 pm we are all ourselves stuffed like turkeys and thankful to have a nice warm bed to sleep in.
36. The purpose of the text is to ________.
A. tell what the family do for Thanksgiving Day B. tell how the family spends Thanksgiving Day C. introduce foods served on Thanksgiving Day D. introduce the American Thanksgiving Day
37. On Thanksgiving Day the author’s family do the following except ________. A. watching a movie B. making visits
C. having a big meal D. watching football
38. Why does the author’s mind usually “go blank” when saying a prayer of thanks? A. He is too thankful to say a word.
B. His mind is on the food before him. C. He feels too excited to speak. D. He is shy to speak in public.
39. The underlined phrase “dig in” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”. A. chat with others B. make a hole
C. mix things up D. start eating 40. What can we conclude from the text?
A. On Thanksgiving Day, men do nothing but eat. B. The author is a middle school student.
C. The author’s family is not rich, but it’s a loving one. D. Thanksgiving Day falls on Thursday of December.
D
The US government has started a website, Admongo, to help children think critically about the advertising aimed at them. It claims to provide visitors with an
“aducation” through games and other entertainment.
A cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to Admongo. "Call me Haiz", he says upon arrival in a rocket ship that opens up with a crazy world inside it. Spacey dance music plays in the background as Haiz tells visitors that they need to learn about advertising.
Its inventors say eight to twelve years old is the age kids develop their critical thinking abilities. Kids that age are also a big market for advertisers.
The idea behind Admongo is to teach children three things: To identify the advertiser. To know what the advertiser is really saying. And to know what the advertisement is trying to get the child to do. Children learn these things through a video game. They create their own game character. They can
choose different skin colors, hair styles, eye and mouth shapes. Then they begin a trip through ad-land, where there are ads on buses and billboards. The players have to find all the marketing in the neighborhood before they can move on to the next level.
The Admongo game takes players inside a home, to the advertising studio and everywhere else ads can be found. It is a complete exploration of the world of marketing.
One such area is food marketing. The Federal Trade Commission(FTC) says it is a big business. The FTC estimates that food, drink and fast-food restaurants spent more than one and a half billion dollars on advertising to young people in 2009.
The FTC says children are important for three reasons. They buy products. They influence parents and caregivers to buy. And they are the future adult buyers of the products.
A recent study says most advertising aimed at children is for foods of the lowest nutritional value. First Lady Michelle Obama has said she would like to see advertisers marketing healthy foods for children.
41.What is the best title of the text? A. The guide of Admongo
B. An aducation website for children C. A popular online video game D. A website aimed at children
42. Why did the government start the website? A. To attract the biggest market of buyers. B. To sell the products of its company. C. To help children know about advertising. D. To advertise the video game for children. 43. What can players do in the website game?
A. Choose hair styles for their character. B. Travel to a supermarket.
C. Eat in a fast-food restaurant. D. Play video games during the trip.
44. Children are important for advertising because they are . A. important for the society
B. the most potential buyers C. easily influenced by ads
D. easily affected by poor products
45. According to Michelle Obama, lots of food advertised for children are ________. A. healthy B. of high nutrition

In my last semester in university, we must take the graduation exams. The last exam was the English linguistics. Many of my classmates would cheat in exams. I hadn’t done it before. For this, sometimes my friends were surprised and laughed at me. When I felt it very difficult to remember the phonetics form, I finally gave up reviewing it and decided to try to cheat in this exam. I was too lazy to write it down on smaller paper. Therefore I directly cut the phonetics form away from the handouts.
At the very beginning of the exam, I was so sad to find that there were 30–point questions about the phonetics form on the exam paper but suddenly I felt lucky because the phonetics form was just hidden in my pocket. I first finished other questions. To be honest, I was very timid and felt so bad to take out the phonetics form from my pocket. I felt so conflicted. I finally pinched the small paper into my left hand. However, I hadn’t opened the left hand to look at the form till the exam was over. I just guessed the remaining questions to finish the exam. Fortunately, I passed the exams with 75 points. But now I feel good for my failed cheating.

读写任务（共 1 小题，每小题 25 分）
Being afraid of failing an English exam and influenced by her classmates, the author decided to cheat. She hid some paper in her pocket but gave up cheating finally, which made her feel good.
Nowadays, cheating in exams is popular among some students. There are various reasons for this. Some students are lazy and don’t work hard at their lessons. Some want to get higher marks so that they can be praised or even admired. Others cheat in order to win a scholarship or enter a key school.
However, this phenomenon will have a very bad effect on middle school students’ habit of study. Those who usually cheat in exams will never treat study seriously again because they believe they will always get good marks without working hard. Those who never cheat in exams will consider it’s unfair for them, thinking studying hard is no more necessary.
In order to get rid of the bad effects, the school authority should take effective measures to help the students know how important honesty is. Meanwhile, a strict discipline for exams should be carried out. Whoever cheats should be severely punished.
