If we are wise, we accept these failures as a 36 part of the learning process. But all too often as parents and teacher
21、s we disallow this 37 right to our children.When I see a child 38 to this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie.Donnie was my youngest third grader. His 39 of failure kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed. He 40 answered questions he might be wrong.I tried my best to build his 41 .
22、 But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned(安排)to our classroom.She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, 42 her.One morning, we were working math problems at the chalkboard. Donnie had 43 the problems with painstaking neatn

24、ie, she said, kneeling beside him and gently 47 the tear stained face from his arms. Ive got something to 48 you. She removed the pencils, one at a time, and placed them on his desk.See these 49 , Donnie, she continued. They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are 50 ? Thats because
25、 we make mistakes too. But we erase the mistakes and try again. Thats what you 51 learn to do, too.She kissed him and stood up. Here, she said, Ill leave one of these pencils on 52 desk so youll remember that everybody makes mistakes, 53 teachers. Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile.T

30、t write more words than a simple sentence “Because he teaches me painting.”In the eyes of his teachers at the Lhasa Special Education School, the deaf boy was a little painter. Five years ago, however, all Tanam could do was to stay in bed until noon, and then stare at the sky through the window, wa
31、iting for his parents return.His mother Yangzom said she had no other choice but to lock him in the house every day as she and her husband had to work and they did not want to allow the boy to roam(闲逛) the streets.“Every day when I came back home and saw my lonely poor son, I felt my heart hurt. But
32、 now I can finally feel a bit relieved,” the mother said. She said it was the school that changed his son. “Without the school, I dared not imagine how my son would be now.”With a governmental fund of 4.5 million yuan, the special education school was founded in 2000. The only government-run school
33、for handicapped children in Tibet, it now has 28 teachers and 120 school children in nine classes of 5 grades. Eight classes in the school are for deaf kids and the other one is for blind kids.Students can enjoy free food, boarding, clothing and medical services in the school, which is open to deaf
34、and blind children from all over the autonomous region.Tibetan sign language and Tibetan braille are basic courses here. Children also have Tibetan, Chinese, mathematics, science, painting, dancing and sports lessons.A “black and white” textbook seemed appealing among the colorful books in Tanams sc
35、hoolbag. The text was handwritten.It was the Tibetan language textbook compiled and written by teachers themselves.“As textbooks for students in ordinary schools sometimes are too abstract and hard for our kids to understand, two other Tibetan language teachers and I compiled the textbook to make th
36、ings easier for them,” said teacher Dawa. Those books with the love of all the teachers, though not spoke out, will surely help children enjoy their life by supporting themselves after leaving the school.56. How old was the Dainzin Tanam when he began to go to the Lhasa Special Education School?A. 1
37、6 years old B. 11 years old C. 21 years old D. 5years old57. What is the parents feeling about the special school?A. relieved B. excited C. grateful D. lighthearted58. Who wrote the “black and white” textbooks for the children?A. Dawa B. The teachers in the special schoolC. Dawa and another two teac
38、hers D. nobody but sent by the government59. We can infer from the text _.A. most of the handicapped children in this school are from poor families.B. the students are of the same age in the Lhasa Special Education School.C. the teachers made up textbooks for the students to study more easily.D. the
39、 education received from the school will have a great effect on the childrens future life.BThere are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in
40、 which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful t
41、hings. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt)many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such u
42、nhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing(批评)and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong , but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests an
43、d tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats
44、them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If t
45、hey bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for other
46、s to avoid any contact (接触)with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.60“The phrase“sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means_.A. have a good taste with social life B. make others unhappyC. tend to scold
47、others openly D. enjoy the pleasure of life61We can conclude from the passage that_.A. we should pity all such unhappy people B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social lifeC. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness D. unhappy people can not understand happy persons62If such unhappy perso
48、ns insist on keeping the habit , the author suggests that people should _.A. prevent any communication with them B. show no respect and politeness to themC. persuade them to recognize the bad effects D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes63In this passage, the writer mainly_.A. describ
49、es two types of people B. laughs at the unhappy peopleC. suggests ways to help them unhappy D. tells people how to be happy in lifeCThe publication of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince gladdens booksellers across China. The British and American editions were No. 1 and No. 3 respectively on the
50、sales chart of the Beijing Xidan Book Building last week. The books poster is highlighted and news about the book can often be heard on the radio.Why is the book so attractive to children? With curious mood, the author got a copy of Harry Potter. Originally, I wanted to glance over it and made some
51、criticisms. But, out of expectation, the author has been deeply attracted by the magic world. On the other hand, one cannot help asking: where is our own Harry Potter?The Chinese nation has a history of 5,000 years, which cannot be regarded as short and its culture as not profound. With a vast marke
52、t of youngsters, China did publish many books popular among children. However, why are the present works not as good as those imported?There come two major reasons: Firstly, quite a number of childrens books are of strong sense of teaching, and lack interest and entertainment. Children often have a
53、feeling of being educated. No wonder they dont like them. Secondly, childrens reading materials involving idiom stories and Chinese talents stories, though always in different covers, are usually much the same or plagiarized. One knows the ending as early as in the beginning. In final analysis, the
54、authors of the books seldom take childrens requirements into consideration.As a matter of fact, each child has his own wonderful imagination. They long to understand the world and nature. Similarly they have their own choices. They dislike similar stories, even if the stories are excellent. First-cl
55、ass reading for children should be very interesting, which contains knowledge and the essence of national culture, which are presented in childrens language.Market is a touchstone for products. The theory also holds true for cultural products. It is hoped that the authors of childrens books can lear
56、n something from the good market of Harry Potter and write out more and better books loved by children.64. The disadvantages of our books are the following except_A. they have little sense of interest and entertainmentB. many of our books are of the sameC. the authors didnt pay much attention to the
57、 childrens tastes.D. Our authors never know what our children need.65. The reason why the imported book is so popular is that _.A. it has no sense of teaching B. it opens a wonderful world for children to exploreC. it is only written in childrens language D. it is advertised more on TV or poster.66.
58、 Whats the feeling of the writer when he finishes reading “Harry Potter”?A. He is so angry that he wants to criticize the bookB. He is also attracted by the bookC. He is shocked by the book, meanwhile he is worried about our books.D. He cant help looking for Harry Potter.67. What does the writer mea
59、n by writing “wheres our own Harry Potter”?A. We are short of books for children B. We Chinese must produce books as popular as “Harry Potter”.C. Authors should write books in the same way as “Harry Potter”D. Our authors are hoped to make the market of our books for children take off DPeaceful Use o
60、f Space Resources Drives Chinas Space ProgramChinas successful launch of its second manned spacecraft Shenzhou-6 has drawn worldwide applause. It has become the third nation in the world capable of putting men into space.It is widely believed home abroad that the latest progress made by China will s
61、urely improve national cohesiveness(内聚性)and make the countrys 1.3 billion people more confident in their future in terms of social and economic progress.However, some people in and outside China describe Chinas manned space program as a prestige project which yields little economic benefit.They argu
62、e that billions of US dollars spent on the decade-old space program may be better used for poverty relief and education as millions of Chinese still have a poor living and many children cannot afford basic schooling. However, mankind does need to make use of space resources for sustainable human dev
63、elopment.Space technology has become increasingly important for the exploration and peaceful use of space resources due to the shrinking reserve of natural resources on the Earth.Lunar reserve of isotope helium 3 is sufficient for human need for about 10,000 years, which is attractive to the mankind
64、 being troubled by high oil prices and limited oil reserve.China has benefited from the dividend of its investment in space sector. Space technology has become an indispensable part of peoples daily life, such as weather forecast, telecommunications, disaster reduction, and resources prospecting.Str
65、iving hard to feed its 1.3 billion people and more in the future, China has been developing improved species of crops on the basis of space technology, mostly through recoverable satellites and spacecraft.Information obtained from Shenzhou-3 and Shenzhou-4 in Earth observation has been used for mari
66、time(海上的) pollution control and desertification(沙漠化) control projects, which is useful for China and other parts of the world.China has listed space technology and information technology among the countrys seven high-tech fields in its national high-tech research and development program initiated in
67、 1986.68. Which point of view may the author not agree to?A. The successful launch is significant to the development of our country.B. The successful launch proves that our space technology is advanced in the world.C. Though the launch is successful, it benefits little in term of economy.D. Its nece
68、ssary to explore resources in space. 69. Some people think Chinas manned space program yields little economic benefits as they think about the following except _.A. there are many poor areas in China lacking supports.B. many children cant go to school because of poverty.C. it will delay the progress
69、 of economy.D. it costs too much on the space program.70. Which supports the idea of the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?A. Resources are shrinking all over the worldB. There are enough useful resources for human use.C. The mankind is worrying about less and less oil resourceD. All above71. What
70、does the underlined word “prestige” perhaps mean in the 3rd paragraph?

I have to travel every day from So Uk Road to the airport. Two buses travel along this road: the No. 49 and
103、 the No.16. However, by the time the No. 16 reaches So Uk Road it is always full, so it is of no use to me. This leaves the No.49, which sometimes has empty seats on it.Your timetable is there. It shows that there are buses from So Uk Road to the airport every ten minutes. If this isso, why do I hav
104、e to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?The rules say that if there are empty seats on a bus, they must stop at every stop people are waiting. Why is it, therefore, that half empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?The rules say that no bus may carry more than 40
105、 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when I reached the airport. I counted the other passengers as they got off. There were 129 of them.Clearly printed on the back of every bus is a sign that says “Highest speed: 50m.p.h.”.The distance from So Uk Road to Kai Tak is 10 miles. On Saturday morning a No. 49 bus traveled this distance in 10 minutes. At times it must have done at least 80 or even 90 m.p.h.It is obvious that our bus companies have no respect for the rules nor consideration for the passengers. Can nothing be done about this?
