【題目】 An Unforgettable Day

I had mixed feelings today, nervous, worried, happy, excited...My heart went down when Miss Chen, our head teacher, said that Matthew and Beth, two students from England, would spend three months with us! I was worried that I had to speak English so much! But at the end of the school day, I was happier than I thought because the morning with them today was more enjoyable than I expected.

Today is the most unforgettable first day I have had! Matthew is fantastic! His English is clearer and easier to listen to than I thought. The other English student, Beth, is the most helpful girl I've ever met. There were lots of things to do on the first day. Beth offered to help Miss Chen put up all the notices. Of course, some of the credit(功勞)should also go to ME because I translated(翻譯) some of the notices for her. Miss Chen praised us!

We finished all the preparations 10 minutes earlier than expected, then Beth and I talked for a while. Matthew sang several English songs and did some stand-up comedy at the party. We all praised him. When the bell rang to end the first school day, none of us wanted to leave.

When I went back home, I had a little headache. I have probably spoken more English today than the whole of last year.

It was really a happy day! I hope our friendship can continue, even after they go back to England!

【題目】 Friendships can be difficult because often people aren’t as honest and open as they should be. Sometimes, people finally get hurt.

Most problems with friendships come up because people are just too selfish to care about the things that their friends need. They care about their own needs much more, which makes it hard for friendships to work. However, being selfish is part of human nature. A person is put together in order to take care of himself and his own needs, not necessarily those needs of other people. Even though being selfish is something that all humans are born with, it is something that everyone should be against.

The best thing to remember when you are a friend to anyone is that you need to treat your friends the same way that you’d like to be treated (對待). This is wonderful advice for a friendship, because it is really the only way to make sure that you are giving your friends everything you would want to be given in a friendship. Whenever you have a question about how you should treat a friend, it is easy to find an answer simply by asking yourself what you would like your friend to do for you, if he or she is in your shoes.

Even if you’re al ways thinking about how you’d like to be treated, and your friends are too, there are problems that come up from time to time in each friendship, and it is important to understand how to deal with these problems so that you can build stronger and healthier friendships. Problems like friends getting boyfriends or girlfriends and not spending enough time with their friends, or even friends finding new friends and leaving old friends behind are problems that will probably come up with one or more of your friendships. It is important to know how to deal with these friend problems so that you can keep your friends and make new ones. No one wants to have a broken friendship.

A. to treat your friends as you like to be treated

B. to give your friends whatever you have

C. not to hurt your friends’ feelings

D. not to think of your own need any more

【4】What’s the purpose of understanding how to deal with friendship problems?

A. To have a comfortable life.

B. To build stronger and healthier friendships.

【題目】Answer the question (根據(jù)以下內(nèi)容回答問題)

“It’s time to wake up, Emily,” my mom sings from the kitchen. I pretended to open my eyes. Why didn’t the alarm on my cellphone ring?

Soon, I realized it was April 8, the day for my program : “A day without technology.”I didn’t realize what I had gotten myself into until I was driving to school in my car. No radio blasting my favorite songs. I had to sing to myself.

As soon as I got to school, I went to the library to print out my English project from my flash drive. “Uh-oh,” I thought. “This isn’t expected.” Finally,I had to spend nearly an hour writing the report again.

The school day went on and I finally got used to the rules. This wasn’t so hard! I could do this every day.

I drove home in silence again, and my mind eventually went into after-school mode (模式),depending on what I would eat for supper and who would be voted off (被淘汰出局)American Idol later that night. The last thing I knew, I was chat with friends on Facebook, check email and watch a video on YouTube, all at the same time!

My mom walked in and her jaw dropped.

“What happened to nohomework?” she asked me. I froze for the second time that day and ordered myself to go back to reality. I had failed.

This experiment, which many teenagers would never have the courage to try, was actually convenient to me.Even though my attempt(嘗試) at going about my day without these luxuries (奢侈品) was a failure, I realized that if I really tried,I would be completely successful without my addiction to technology.

These devices suddenly make my life easier, and I’m sure I wouldn’t practice getting rid of them altogether, but I do believe the lives of today’s teenagers would be dramatically different without our tech dependence.

【1】Who woke Emily up on April 8,the cellphone or her mother?

______________________________________________________________

【2】What program did Emily take part in on that day?

______________________________________________________________

【3】Why did Emily have to write her report again in the school?

______________________________________________________________

【4】What did Emily usually do in the evening besides doing her homework? (List two of them)

______________________________________________________________

【5】Emily failed to spend her day without technology,didn’t she?

【6】Do you want to have a one-day experience without technology?Why or why not?

One day I was driven by a rain-storm to take shelter in a little hut by the road-side, which was used by a shoe-maker as his workshop to fix shoes. The man and his son were busy with their work; and after saying, "Good day," we began to talk together.

Before I had been with them long, the old man sent his son out to get something that he needed for his repair. His son was only one kilometre away, but it was too long for the h【1】 shoe-maker to be free. He at last took up a piece of leather and began to work on it, saying, "You know, sir, it will never do to waste time."

As soon as the rain was over, I went on my way home, thinking over what I had heard, "It will never do to waste time." Some people are always lazy, others are lazy only now and then. I was one of the second ones. I couldn't f 【2】 my attention all the time. So the old man's words came home with me and I began to feel how w【3】it was to waste so much of my life in laziness.

I had often heard and read that laziness was great h 【4】; but now I begin to see that it causes far more disadvantages than people are aware of. They don't know the wasted time never goes back.

When a man is busy, he is said to be "occupied." What does that mean? It means that a man at work is like a house with people living in it. When our minds are full of our work, there is no s【5】 for anything else. Laziness, on the other hand, is emptiness; and when the mind is empty, then the doors are thrown open, and bad thoughts come in to influence your pure heart. When it once gets hold of a man, the habit of laziness isn't e【6】 got rid of.

I have made up my mind to follow the shoe-maker's rule for the rest of my life. Although it was very hard at first, I stick to it because I learn to r【7】 myself not to waste time. Above all, I decide that my mind should never be empty.

【題目】 Only a few Europeans lived in North America in the 16th century. Most of them settled (定居) on the northeast coast. In 1587, a small group of about 100 people decided to go south. They moved to the small island of Roanoke. That area later became part of the state of North Carolina.

Unfortunately, the Roanoke settlers weren’t well prepared. They didn’t have enough food for the winter, and there wasn’t enough grain for future crops. Their leader, Captain White, decided to sail back to England to get supplies. However, there was a war in Europe, and three years passed before he returned to North America.

When Captain White came back to Roanoke in 1590, he was eager to see the settlers. He looked out from his ship, but no one was there to meet him. There were no signs of life. The settlement was empty.

No one knows why the Roanoke settlers disappeared. Many people thought that hostile Native Americans killed them, but there were no signs of a fight. Some thought that the settlers died from hunger or disease, but they couldn’t explain the absence of bodies.

Many years later, more settlers came to North Carolina. One of them met a Native American group called the Lumbee. They were unusual looking compared to the black-haired, brown-eyed Native Americans in the north. Some Lumbee had blonde hair and gray eyes. Then he listened to their speech and almost fell off his horse. They seemed to speak an unusual kind of English.

He asked where they were from. None of them knew, but they said that their grandparents “talked from a book.” Did they mean that their grandparents were able to read? As he rode back home, he asked himself a question: Were the Lumbee people the descendants(后裔)of the Roanoke settlers?

People are still asking the same question. Because there are no written records, we can’t be certain. However, there is one interesting fact. Today, some of the Lumbee people have names like Sampson, Dare, and Cooper. They are the same as the names of the vanished settlers of Roanoke Island.

【1】Captain White returned to Roanoke after three years because ______________.

A.there was a war in Europe.B.they didn’t have enough food.

C.there were no signs of life in the settlement.D.the area became part of the state of North Carolina.

【2】According to the following signs EXCEPT ___________, the Lumbee may be the descendants of the Roanoke settlers.

A.They had the same names as the disappeared settlers

B.They seemed to speak an unusual kind of English.

C.Their grandparents might be able to read.

D.They had black hair and brown eyes.

【3】What does the underlined word hostile in paragraph 4 mean?

A.braveB.strongC.unfriendlyD.unlucky

【4】According to the fifth paragraph, why did one of the settlers almost fall off his horse?

A.Because some Lumbee’s looking was so unusual that it frightened him.

B.Because some Lumbee spoke an unusual English just like the disappeared settlers.

C.Because some Lumbee’s English was so unusual that he couldn’t understand them.

D.Because the Lumbee told him that they were the descendants of the Roanoke settlers.

【5】What’s the best title of the passage?

A.The brave EuropeansB.The unusual Lumbee

C.The disappeared settlersD.The small island of Roanoke
