2、Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.

All over the world people enjoys sports. Sports help to keep people healthy, happy and help them to live longer.

Sports change with the season. People play different games in winter and summer. Games and sports often grow out of people’s work and everyday activities. The Arabs use horses or camels in much of their everyday life; they use them in their sports too.

Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football , for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers.

Some sport or games go back to thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are quite new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time.

People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person’s character (性格). One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace (體面).

1、Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

Happy birthday! Do birthdays really make people happy? Of course they do. By birthday we mean celebrating the day when we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggest another year of growth and maturity（成熟）--- or so we hope. We all like to imagine that we are getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the wonder of growth in others as well. For instance, our children’s developing and learning new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, growing up is a wonderful process. But growing old? That is a different story.

Growing old is not exactly for people in youth-oriented（以年輕人為中心）American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “You’re young as you feel.” People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”, and for them, growing old means feeling lonely in this youth-oriented culture .

Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden. Economically, retirement at the age of 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income. Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care and housing. Some even experience age discrimination (歧視). American sociologist Pat Moore once dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets. She was often treated rudely--even cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.

What should we do to improve this situation? The young should care for and respect the old since everyone will grow old. The government should continue the social security benefits.

23、  以下是一名高三學(xué)生王海寫給Wise博上的一封信。請(qǐng)以Wise博士的名義回信．

給出至少三點(diǎn)建議。

From: Wang Hai

To: Dr. Wise

Subject: What should I do?

Dear Dr. Wise.

     I'm a senior 3 student. Since I became a graduating student, I have been staying up late to finish piles of exercises. I often feel sleepy in class. As a result, I miss lots of key points and it usually takes me more time to finish my homework, which makes it difficult for me to concentrate on what I'm doing. What's worse, I haven't made any progress, which made me lose interest and confidence in studying. What should I do?

                                                                                           Sincerely,

                                                                                           Wang Hai

From: Dr. Wise

To: Wang Hai

Subject: Advice

Dear Wang Hai,

After all, efficiency (效率) means everything in the third year. Wish you a bright future.

Yours,

                                                        Dr. Wise

22、    Directions: Read the following passage.  Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.

      Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to Chinese students they always say, "My spoken English is poor," However, their spoken English does not have to remain "poor". 1 would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.

      First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is-positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.

      Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking, your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English as quickly and well as you can even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense. But it doesn't matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.

     The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.

     Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. If you have this proactive outlook, then; you will see English opportunities wherever you go.

     If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget that English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.

21、  Directions:  Read the following passage.  Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.

     American public education has changed in recent years.  One change is that increasing numbers of American parents and teachers are starting independent public schools called charter schools.

      In 1991, there were no charter schools in the Unite States. Today, more than 2300 charter schools operate in 34 states and the District of Columbia. 575. 000 students attend these schools. The students are from 5 years of age through 18 or older.

     A charter school is created by groups of parents, teachers and community members. It is similar in some ways to a traditional public school. It receives tax money to operate a number of students. The charter school must prove to local or state governments that its students are learning. These governments provide the school with the agreement, or charter that permits it to operate.

     Unlike a traditional public school, however, the charter school does not have to obey most laws governing public schools. Local, state or federal governments cannot tell it what to teach.

     Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach those goals. Class sizes are usually smaller than in many traditional public schools. Many students and parents say teachers in charter schools can be more creative.

      However, state education agencies, local education-governing committees and unions often oppose charter schools. They say these schools may receive money badly needed by traditional public schools. Experts say some charter schools are doing well while others are struggling.

      Congress provided 200 million dollars for establishing charter schools in the 2006 federal budget. But, often the schools say they lack enough money for programs. Many also lack needed space, District officials say they have provided 14 former school buildings for charter education. Yet charter school supporters say officials should try harder to find more space.
