【題目】 There have been many great inventions that changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today—the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things.

Then in the early 1800’s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore(探測) much anymore. They began to work to make life better.

In the second half of the 19th century, many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.

The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions：the helicopter in1907, movies with sound in 1923. the computer in 1927, and jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon（尼龍）came in 1937. It changed the kind of clothes people wear.

By this time most people had a very good life, and man has a desire to explore again. The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space.

New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.

【題目】閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容填寫表格，每空限填一詞。

Many Chinese students are good at English grammar, but their spoken English is so poor that they are afraid to speak in class or have a talk with others. There may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.

First, they fail to express themselves clearly because of a limited(有限的)vocabulary. The useful way is to enlarge their vocabulary. However, you can still communicate with others with a limited vocabulary, if you are active. Others will understand you with the help of your body language.

Second, they are worried about making mistakes. Because they are shy and nervous, sometimes they may make mistakes easily. Yet we should know what we aim at is FLUENTCE(流利) not ACCURACY(精確) when speaking. So we should speak as quickly and well as we can, even though sometimes we may use a wrong word or tense(時(shí)態(tài)), but it doesn’t matter because others will still understand you.

The third reason is that they don’t pay enough attention to listening to what others are saying. So while you are speaking, you can't find the suitable topic or words to say. You have one mouth but two ears! What you hear is necessary for you to start speaking.

Fourth, most Chinese students are passive(被動的) language learners. They just sit there waiting for speaking chances, and don't actively look for chances to improve their spoken English. All they can get is to accept the fact that their English remains poor.

“Practice makes perfect". So please be active from now on, try to catch every chance to speak wherever you go.

USE IT or LOST IT? It is up to you.

【題目】配對閱讀，下面是五個家庭的煩惱，針對這五個家庭的煩惱，給出七種建議，請給他們選擇正確的建議。

【1】My mother and my father often argue with each other these days. It’s too terrible. I can’t put up with it.

【2】I feel worried. My daughter is 14 years old. And she likes to go out with friends on school nights. What should I do?

【3】My parents always wish me to study hard and always compare me with others. It makes me stressed out.

【4】My son likes playing computer games every night. Sometimes he even stays up all night playing computer games.

【5】I am a middle school student. I live with my grandparents. I feel lonely. My parents work in another city and they only come back home at festivals.

A.You can communicate more with your parents. Tell them everyone is different. Ask them not to compare you with others. You will do your best to study hard.

B.Don’t worry about your homework. You can ask your teachers or classmates for help. Everything will get better.

C.You should have a word with her. It is not good for students to go out with friends on school nights, because it’s a waste of time and influences their study. And also it’s very dangerous for a girl to go out in the evening.

D.If possible, I think your parents will spend more time with you. But now they have to work for your family. You can call them if you miss them. You can also spend more time with your classmates and friends, and then you won’t feel lonely.

E.Have a good talk with your parents. When men and women are always on the verge (邊緣) of arguing, they generally misunderstand each other. At such times, it is important to make them calm down and have a talk with them.

F.You’d better encourage him to realize that spending too much time on computer games is bad for his health and study. Try to encourage him to do other things instead of playing games.

G.If you are stressed out, maybe you are too tired. Just go to bed early and get a good sleep. Do more exercise, eat more healthy food and drink more water. Then you will have a good body and you’ll feel better.

【題目】Dear Dad,

Today I was at the shopping centre and I spent a lot of time reading the Father's Day cards. But as I chose and read, it seemed that not a single card said what I really wanted to say to you.

You'll soon be 84 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 56 Father's Days together. I didn't think that you were too old. But the sad thing happened last week. I watched as you turned at the corner in your car. I didn't realize at once that it was you because the man who was driving looked so elderly.

Fifty years ago this spring, we planted carrots together in a garden in Charles City, Iowa. This week, we'll plant carrots together again, perhaps for the last time but I hope not. I don't understand why planting carrots with you is so important to me. Well, I don't quite know how to tell you this, dad. I don't like carrots…but I like planting them with you.

I guess what I am trying to say is exactly what every son and daughter wants to say to their dad today. Praising(贊揚(yáng)) a father on Father's Day is not just about a dad who brings home money or shares a dinner. It's also about a dad who deeply loves children. He knows everything about his children and won't listen to anyone. It's about love that can't be expressed(表達(dá)) in words, and I wish that it would never end.

Love,

Jenny
