Dear Rosemary,
I was very glad to get your letter this morning. I really ought to have written to you---it was my turn, I know----but I have been terribly busy. The children seem to take up all my time. I am thinking of sending Ann to a nursery school. She’ll be four next month. Baby has just started to walk and doesn’t give me a moment’s peace. But you know what it is like! How are all your children? I’m sure they love living in the country.
I’m afraid we can’t come over to see you next Sunday, as you suggest. Tom’s mother is coming to spend the day with us. What about the Sunday after that----- the twenty-second? We are free that day and should love to come. We’re longing to see your house.
Let me know, then, if the Sunday after next suits you. May we come for lunch? We’d like to leave fairly early in the evening to avoid the heavy traffic on the roads.
Love from us all,
Edna

“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”  That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.
All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things as we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it.
There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!
Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. There you can feel everything on show. If we want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see.
小題1: By touching things,________.
A．you will have a strange feeling
B．you will learn how to reach out your hand
C．you can tell the difference of the things
D．you can tell what colors they are
小題2: When people buy things in shops, they often_________.
A．try them on firstB．keep their right hands on them
C．a(chǎn)sk about themD．feel and touch them
小題3:Why does it say “At first, it is not easy to feel these things?” Because__________.
A．the things are used by people, tooB．people feel the things too often
C．people know how to use the thingsD．the things are hard to feel
小題4:Which of the following can be the best title of the story?
A．Touching by FeelingB．To See or to Feel?
C．To See Better---FeelD．Ways of Feeling

Dear Michelle,
My mother is not a good example for me and my sister. She smokes, stays out late, and she curses. I love her but I am ashamed of her. I do not want to bring home my friends because she does not act like any of the other mothers. She says I am a loser because I sit at home and I study. I wish I could live in another family that is normal, but that will not be for another 5 years when I am 18 and legal. What am I supposed to do until then?
Prisoner of a Crazy House
Dear 7th Grade,
I am glad that you love your mother because the rest of your feelings about her may change as you mature and get older.
While it is true that your mother’s smoking, partying and cursing bring you shame, the fact that you want to stay separate from her doing is notable and very smart. It shows that you are a winner, not a loser.
I am guessing, therefore, that you do not bring shame to yourself, and that is a good thing. So, keep it that way and keep away from your mother’s habits.
In the meantime, get the best grades as possible and join clubs and after-school activities. Offer social service on weekends and visit with your friends at their homes.
Unfortunately, you are not alone. Many teens live in homes with immature, misguided, selfish parents. Those kids often feel lonely and separate from the rest of their friends because of their parents’ terrible deeds.
Yet, despite this, some of these very teens grow up to be just fine. They develop good friendships with nice kids, do well in school, and often find a teacher of guidance advisor who makes all the difference!
Do it, Miss Winning 13-year-old, and keep looking forward to your own fine future. Maybe by then your mother may even see the light and realize how surprising you really are.
Best luck!
Michelle
小題1:The kids asks for advice on how to _________.
A．make her mother changeB．grow up in her present situation
C．get along well with her motherD．start a new family with her sister
小題2: Michelle doesn’t call her letter receiver a “Prisoner of a Crazy House” possibly because she ________.
A．tries to be politeB．doesn’t write to that kid alone
C．knows that’s a girl in Grade 7D．wants to cheer up the kid
小題3: Michelle advises the girl to ___________.
A．try talking to her motherB．get used to the habits of her mother
C．stick to her attitude towards her motherD．improve her relationship with her mother
小題4:What does Michelle express by the paragraphs beginning with “Unfortunately” and “Yet”?
A．Many parents act terriblyB．You’re not speaking for yourself
C．Parents’ manners make little differenceD．Don’t worry too much about your problem

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
D
The first MP4 player was born years ago. Soon many music fans were wondering how fantastic it is! If you have been into technology enough, perhaps you may have a knowledge of the MP4. If not, you do need to know something before buying one, even if you are familiar with MP3. MP3 is the CD-like disc with greater capacity. How about MP4? This small digital product will really enrich the joy from listening to music. You can even feel the “touch” of music to your soul!
Now, some similar digital products advertised as “MP4 player” are simply MP3 players, which do not play video and MPEG format and also lack other particular functions. These products confuse some buyers, as they may think the “MP4” players simply mean they can do more than MP3.
What is MP4?
It is a multimedia container. It is not only used to store digital audio and digital video streams, especially those of MPEG, but can also be used to store other data such as subtitles and pictures. As a most modern container format, it allows streaming over the Internet.
With the help of a piece of MP4 video equipment, you can change various programs such as MPEG to MP4, ASX to MP4, AVI to MP4 and so on, which can be done very quickly and easily without any effect on the sound quality. By installing DVD-MP4 software, you can transfer particular music from a DVD to an MP4 video file. It really excites your listening music experience.
Then, there is MP4 advanced and you can set your own collection of all the programs—TV shows, games, and music. You can even see movies which are still running in cinema. What else digital product could you possibly ask for?
小題1: It is suggested here that you should ______ before buying an MP4 player.
A．first be a music fanB．have a knowledge of MP4
C．get familiar with MP3D．buy a CD-like disc
小題2:From the passage, we can see that MP4 is ______ MP3.
A．much bigger thanB．just as advanced as
C．not so particular asD．more functional than
小題3:Which function of MP4 is NOT directly mentioned in this passage?
Ａ．Storing digital audio and video streams.
Ｂ．Recording some movies in cinema.
Ｃ．Playing TV shows, games and movies.
Ｄ．Transferring particular music from a DVD.
小題4:From the last sentence, it’s clear that the writer tries to tell us it is ______.
A．reasonable to buy other digital products
B．impossible to buy something else
C．a(chǎn) very wise choice to buy an MP4
D．a(chǎn)n exciting experience to buy an MP3

What do you do if you are hit in the mouth and one of your teeth is knocked out? A dentist(牙醫(yī))may be able to put the tooth back in for you, but you have to get to the dentist first．In the meantime, you have to store the tooth so that it will stay healthy．
The simplest thing to do is put the tooth back into your mouth, or you could put it in milk．Frank Courts, a dentist at the University of Florida, worked with other researchers to find the safest way of keeping knocked-out teeth．He tried putting teeth into milk, into water, and into cell-culture medium(細(xì)胞培養(yǎng)液)．He also tried, just drying the teeth in the open air．He used teeth that had to be removed from people’s mouths for various reasons．The teeth were put into one of the solutions(溶液)or stored in the air for one hour．Then cells from the root of the teeth were scraped-off the teeth．Dr．Courts and the others then studied how healthy these cells were．
The cell-culture medium worked best to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy outside the mouth．However, few people keep cell-culture medium handy at home or in school．
The next best thing was milk．But Dr．Courts said that the best thing of all was to wash the tooth and put it right back into its socket(牙槽)in the mouth．For some people, though, this is just too painful or upsetting．So milk will do, until you get your tooth (and your mouth)to a dentist．
小題1:This passage is mainly about             ．
A．how a dentist can save a knocked-out tooth
B．how to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy
C．how Dr．Courts and other researchers made their experiments
D．how to put a knocked-out tooth back into its socket
小題2:The best way to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy outside the mouth is to store it       .
A．in cell-culture mediumB．in milkC．in waterD．in the open air
小題3:Milk can be used instead of cell-culture medium to put a knocked-out tooth in because    ．
A．milk works better to keep the tooth healthyB．milk causes less pain
C．cell-culture medium is not usually handyD．cell-culture medium is more expensive
小題4:“Dr．Courts said that the best of al1 was to wash the tooth and put it right back into its socket in the mouth．”In the sentence, the word “best” means              .
A．cheapest and healthiestB．least painful and cheapest
C．quickest and least painfulD．easiest and healthiest

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

By the time a student starts to apply (申請(qǐng)) for a US university, much of his or her record, including grades and after-school activities, has been set in stone. For this reason, the student must in his or her first year of high school start getting ready for college. He or she also has to decide on the non-academic (非學(xué)業(yè)的) tasks, which are important to improve the student’s chances of getting in.
1. After-school activities
When it comes to high school activities, quality is better than quantity (數(shù)量). Admissions (錄取) officers do not want to see a student who has joined dozens of organizations (組織) for a short period of time.
Many students try to do this towards the end of their high school. But schools want to see a student who has been with one organization for all or most of high school. A student who can do this shows maturity (成熟). It is the quality that admissions officers look for as it is one of the markers of future success.
2. Leadership
Schools want to see a student who has taken on a leadership role in an organization. A student can show leadership by taking on any role that needs extra commitment (奉獻(xiàn)) and responsibility.
If you do not have a great title (頭銜) such as president, be sure to explain any leadership roles you have taken. This kind of involvement (參與) in school activities shows you are the responsible person that admissions officers look for.
3. Consistency (一致性)
Admissions officers like an application (申請(qǐng)) to be consistent. For example if there is a high school activity you particularly (特別地) love, it would help if that activity matches your future academic and career interest.
Of course not everything needs to be consistent. Otherwise (否則) the student would be narrow and this is not what schools are looking for. However, you cannot have different parts of your application saying conflicting (矛盾的) things.
小題1:Who was the article written for?
A．US college students hoping to study in China.
B．Chinese college students hoping to study in the US.
C．Third year high school students hoping to study in the US.
D．Teenagers hoping to study in the US.
小題2:The underlined phrase "set in stone" in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.
A．made clearB．something unchangeable
C．become obviousD．a(chǎn)t the right level(水平)
小題3:The author’s suggestion is to ______.
A．try as many different organizations as possible
B．start planning for college at the beginning of high school
C．make everything in an application consistent
D．put non-academic tasks before academic tasks
小題4:According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Students should choose after-school activities they have great interest in.
B．It’s already too late for first year students to apply for a US university.
C．It is necessary for a student to be a president if he/she is to apply for a US university.
D．Students should concentrate on just one activity in high school.

Dear Editor,
I’m a Senior I student in a middle school. This term, my favorite teacher, Miss Mao, no longer teaches us. I want to see her, but I’m afraid that she no longer likes me and I don’t want to trouble her. I really miss her. What should I do?
Tian Yan
Dear Tian Yan,
It’s bad luck that you have lost your favorite teacher, But if she is still in your school , nothing can stop you going to see her. When she isn’t busy, ask her if she minds having a quick chat. You can then tell her she was your favorite teacher------ everyone is happy to know that they are liked!
If she has left the school, it will be more difficult to meet her. It will be hard, but remember people always come and go in their lives. We can’t rely on them to be with us all the time.
You may be sad to say goodbye to her, but we can remember and learn from her. Think of her best qualities.
You could also try looking for similar qualities in your other teachers. Study hard and give your new teacher a chance.In time, you might start to see that he or she has different qualities to learn from.
Finally, you can not completely rely on other people to get you through your studies , or even your life.
Editor
小題1:The letters are from________.
A book      B newspaper   C poster     D advertisement
小題2:Which of the following does the editor advise Tuan Yan NOT to do?
