18、girl answered, “Oh, he hasnt got a car yet, _38 hes got the brush to clean it.” Well, I suppose you have to start 39 ! The important thing is that youdo 40_. And to do that, we first have to decide what kind of life we want. Its 41 how many of us want to live forever, when we cant even decide what t
19、o do with our life now! Like the guy who said, “Im going to 42_ putting things off, starting tomorrow.” You see, _43 others have made decisions for you, you can still decide 44 youll respond and handle the life thats been handed to you. You still have 45 of your own attitudes. Happiness is an attitu
20、de and choice, no matter what 46 youre in. Remember, you can always find someone 47 than you who you can help. Its only when we stop looking at our own problems and 48 to make others happy that we ourselves can be 49 happy. But if you choose not to make a decision, that also is your decision youll 5
21、0_. There are many smart, talented people who have never enjoyed the 51 they could have, simply because they could not make a decision and discipline themselves to follow through with it.

26、elf四、阅读理解: 共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分 A Ive loved my mothers desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.Years
27、 later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk”, she said, “is for Elizabeth”.I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me and she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daug
28、hter.They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional”. But she lived “on the surface”.As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she di
29、d forgive me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.My hope turned to disappointment, the little interest, finally, peace-it seemed that nothing happened.

38、nchangedC. the number of the Black families with a computer was on the decreaseD. the number of the Asian families with a computer showed the sharpest increase CIn a growing number of English classes, teachers are leaving the classic novels on the shelf and letting students select the books they rea
39、d. Supporters say that the new approach, called readers workshop, helps develop a love for reading in students who are bored by classic literature. They argue that the best way to motivate students to read more is to offer them more choices. Not all educators are on the same page, however. They worr
40、y that students who choose trendy, less challenging titles over the classics wont be exposed to the great writing and key themes of important works of literature. Student reporters Donald and Sarah express their ideas about this new approach.Donald thinks that we should turn the page. Students shoul
41、d be allowed to select the books they read in English class. He says he and his classmates are allowed to pick their own books in class. That makes them more focused, and they look forward to class time. Tristin, a classmate of his at Clinton Middle School agrees. “Im reading books that I want to re
42、ad, which makes class more fun and interesting,” he says. Offering students a choice may also improve test scores. Studies by Professor John Guthrie of the University of Maryland found that students in Grades 4 through 6 who had some choices in the books they read showed improved reading comprehensi
43、on skills during testing. Giving students the chance to decide what they read helps build a lifelong love for reading. Isnt that what we want for our students?Sarah holds a different view. She thinks teachers know more about books than students do. When an English teacher assigns a book, he or she k
44、eeps in mind the reading level of most students in the class. Students who choose their own books might be cheating themselves by picking books that are not up to their reading level or that are too difficult. Furthermore, a whole class can discuss a book it reads together. That makes it easier for
45、some kids to understand what they are reading. “The students wouldnt be able to hold a meaningful conversation if they were all reading different books,” saysKristin, an English teacher at Fleetwood Area Middle School. “If they read the same book, their conversations would be more in-depth.”63. Dona
46、ld thinks that the new approach could _.A. help students be more focused in classB. draw students to reading classic novelsC. make students less worried in English classD. encourage students to read more challenging books64. Sarah thinks that the new approach might _.A. help students improve reading
47、 comprehension skillsB. help students hold meaningful conversations in classC. make some students read books not suitable for themD. make some students ignore the important works of literature65. Who has the same attitude towards the new approach with Kristin?A. Donald. B. Sarah. C. Tristin. D. John
48、 Guthrie. 66. The author develops the text mainly by _.A. listing cases B. making comparisons C. following time order D. explaining causes and effectsDIn many societies, there is often greater acceptance of light skin than dark skin. Light skin may be seen as a mark of beauty, intelligence and succe
49、ss. These beliefs can lead to social pressures even within the same racial or ethnic group, if some members are darker skinned than others.The result is that skin lightening has become a common activity across Africa, Asia and other areas of the world. More and more people with dark skin are using s
50、kin-lightening products, even if it means they may face health risks. They believe that having whiter skin will improve their lives. Many people think they will have a better chance of getting a job or marrying into a better family. Or they want to look like what their society generally considers be
51、autiful. Some beauty care products and soaps contain chemicals that make skin lighter. This process is also called bleaching. But some of the chemicals are extremely dangerous. One of the most dangerous is hydroquinone (对苯二酚).Hydroquinone has been banned in several countries. This chemical has been
52、linked to kidney(肾 ) damage and some kinds of cancer. It also causes low birth weight in babies when mothers use it during pregnancy. At first, bleaching products make the skin color lighter. But after long-term use they can cause problems. They could even make some skin darker. The chemicals in the
53、 products block, and break down the natural process that gives color to skin. The skin loses its natural barrier to protect against sunlight. Then the skin can become thick and discolored. Usually the person will use more of the product in an effort to correct the problem, but this only makes it wor
54、se.Fatimata Ly treats skin conditions in the Senegalese capital, Dakar. Doctor Ly says skin bleaching has become a problem throughout Senegal. She says the chemicals are now more dangerous because they are stronger. Some cases have resulted in blackened fingernails, infections and permanent skin dam
55、age.And these are not the only risks. Experts say some people who change their skin color suffer emotional damage. They feel regret and sadness. They feel that instead of risking their health, they should have learned to love and accept their skin color as it was.67. Which do you think is the best t
56、itle for the passage?A. Acceptance of Light Skin in Asia and Africa.B. Light Skina Mark of Beauty.C. The Dark Side of Skin Lightening.D. Bleaching Worsens Skin Conditions.68. Which is NOT the reason why more and more people are using skin-lightening products?A. They believe that whiter skin will mak
57、e them look younger and healthier.B. Their society generally considers having lighter skin beautiful.C. They think that lighter skin will give them a better chance in society.D. They believe that having whiter skin will help improve their lives.69. The third paragraph mainly intends to tell us that
58、.A. some beauty care products make skin lighterB. skin bleaching can cause damage to your healthC. hydroquinone is one of the most dangerous chemicals in these productsD. more use of bleaching products will make things worse70.

60、满分7分Everybody knows how important exercise and proper nutrition are to our everyday lives not only to make us have a good figure but also to keep us healthy in order to enjoy our lives with our loved ones. I was once told by a friend of mine who is a personal trainer that everyone needs to exercise
61、for 45 minutes to an hour daily in order to lose weight that they have gained. But if we dont have that much time to commit to exercise either because of school, work or a busy family life, what can we do to make sure that we are still getting enough exercise? If you are wondering about this, keep r
62、eading and hopefully the following advice will help you just like it helped me. One important fact that we have to keep in mind when we are going through our busy lives is to keep moving even if it means that we have to use a cordless(无线的)phone or a cellphone versus a corded phone and walking while
63、talking so as to get some exercise. While shopping, it is convenient to park close to the store entrance but choosing a place that is some distance from it will allow us to exercise and taking the stairs instead of the lift is also a good way to exercise that will help keep us healthy. These are ver
64、y small adjustments that we can make in our daily lives but they add up and they only take a few minutes. These types of activities might seem not to be helpful but in the long run these little but helpful exercise routines add up and help to keep us in shape and feeling our best physically and emot
65、ionally. Personally when Im in a stressful situation, going for a short walk and enjoying the fresh air and scenery will benefit me a lot. There are many types of exercises that can be done in the house and working out doesnt necessarily mean having to join an expensive membership program and workin
66、g out at the local gym. Doing free weights in the house, stretching(伸展)and going for a short walk or a jog are some simple things that can be done for a few minutes a day that will not cost anything. Breaking up the exercise program into small parts will manage our time during our busy days and will
67、 also help keep our confidence level at its peak and encourage us to exercise as we can see the results in a short amount of time. Title: How to exercise even in our busy everyday livesFactsExercise is important in keeping us in good shape and healthy.Everyone needs to exercise for 45 minutes to an
