“So what do you think?”Charlie asked heartedly.Mrs.Barnes was happy to see Charlie

I was the typical“I can't”child-whatever my mother told or asked me to do was immediately
followed by my cry，“I can't.”As a result，very few tasks or goals that I set out to achieve were
ever completed.
One evening，my mother called me into the family room.“I want you to read this article，”
Mother began.“It's about Marlo Thomas.She tells how a simple poem that she was forced to learn
by her father changed her life•She went from saying‘I can't’to‘I can’•According to this article，
she was able to reorganize her life and her career by learning the principles(原则)in the poem.”
I took the small magazine from Mother and looked down at the pages.There was Marlo-my
idol. Beside her photo was the poem my mother had spoken of，a simple poem entitled，“I Can”.
“I want you to memorize that poem，”Mother said firmly.“Mama，”I belly-ached.“I can't learn
that poem.It's too long.”
“It's not too tong and you can learn it.1 want you to know it perfectly by this time tomorrow，”
said my mother. Unwillingly，I went back to my bedroom with the magazine.With a heavy heart，I
threw myself into the bed and began my task.
“Can't is a word that is the enemy to ambition，”I began.I repeated the line.I repeated it
again and again.“An enemy ambush to shatter your will…”I continued the process until I proudly
recited the poem the following evening. It has now become my principle.Marlo 1 homas did not
know me，but her story forever changed my life.
Saying“I can”helped me to get through the worst moments of my life: Saying“I can”
encouraged me to complete things I would have otherwise seen as out of my reach. A simple poem
learned at seven is a poem that will support me to seventy-seven，maybe even longer.
44 .One evening my mother asked me to ，
A .read an article B.meet Marlo
C .write a poem D. take photos
45.The underlined part“I belly-ached”in Paragraph 3 probably means“ ”.
A. I was hungry B.I was relaxed

46.On the following evening，I .
A. repeated the lines on TV B.read more stories about Marlo
C. proudly recited the poem D. had a long talk with my mother
47 .What can we learn from the passage'?
A .Marlo is very popular among teenagers.
B .I become interested in poems all my life.
C .Marlo always encourages me to work hard.
D .Saying“I can”has helped me get over difficulties.

Every minute，someone is setting up an Internet company
somewhere, in the world.Each one is searching for the one great idea
that could make his web company click in a big way.Ano they are
trying all kinds of tricks to attract people towards their websites.While
some websites offer sounds，cartoons and amazing photos on screen to
make their sites almost a movie-like experience for the viewers，others provide free downloads and
competitions.
A company in California，US，has decided to offer online smells to people who visit its website.
That is，i f a pizza image comes on screen，your nose will catch the smell of bread and cheese!All
you need to do is to connect a device(设备)called“iSmell”with your computer. This smart little
device contains(包含)some chemicals that can create different kinds of smells.
The company has invented software that changes the chemical composition(成分)of different
smells into digital signals(数字信号).An onscreen image，which is programmed with the proper
digital signal，will start the“iSmell" device.The device will use the software to change' the digital
signal again and let go of the correct smell. This device reads the digital smell code(代码)from
the website and creates the proper smell from its store of chemicals.This smell is then made to blow
softly in the direction of the user with the support of a small fan.
In order to let go of the correct smell，the company has created a“Scent Registry”，which
contains a digital index of thousands of smells.The company plans to allow website developers to
integrate(合成)the proper smells in digital code to their games and images. The company is also
hoping that Hollywood filmmakers will use the smell technology in their movies.Imagine audiences
getting the smell of rocket fuel as a spacecraft takes off on the cinema screen!Of course，filmmakers
will have to be careful not to shoot in dirty neighborhoods，which have a lot of rubbish lying around.
48.Internet companies try their best to search for great ideas to .
A. join in the Internet fever B.offer movie-like experience
C. provide free downloads and contests D.attract people to their websites
49.According to the passage，people experience smells online by .
A. using“iSmell" device B. ordering food
C. buying special software D. changing chemicals
50.What does“iSmell”do after being started by the onscreen image?
A. It reads the smell code and sends it to the user.
B .It blows the smell to the user with the help of a fan.
C .It rechanges the signal and lets go of the correct smell.
D. It changes the chemical composition into digital signals.
51. , The best title of the passage probably is“ ”
A. Some Useful Devices B. The Internet Fever.of People
C. An Unusual Company D. A New World of SMells Online `

Some people love going to museums，while others absolutely hate it and would rather stay at
home，enjoying their fav orite TV shows.Increasingly，museums are being seen as outdated and
boring by today's youngsters.I have just returned to the UK after travelling around the USA.While
there，I visited lots of museums I must say，museums are typically educational, either to develop
knowledge gained at school in particular subjects，or to enhance knowledge of other cultures
In Chicago，we visited the world-famous Art Institute of Chicago.It was filled with paintings，
drawings and sculptures by a huge variety of artists，such as Picasso，Monet，Matisse and Dali.
There was a mixture of traditional and modern art，including colorful stained glass windows and
abstract art.
When we were in Washington D.C.，we visited a few of the Smithsonian museums. These are
all free to visit-which is great if you just want to see a few things，and not spend all day inside.
The Air and Space Museum was particularly good：it had lots of aircrafts and rockets on display，
interesting information and also some interactive parts.We also went to the National U. S. Holocaust
(纳粹大屠杀)Memorial Museum. Naturally，it was sad to read about the horrors of this tragedy
which affected so many people in World War II .However，it was also incredibly interesting to read
the stories of those who survived the Holocaust，as well as those who helped others.
Last but not least，I also found the 9/11 Memorial and Museum to be of great interest. This
museum is dedicated to those who lost their lives，as well as their families，when the Twin Towers in
New York City were attacked by terrorists in 2001 .It tells you how the terrorists planned the attack，
how they hijacked the planes，and ultimately what happened as a result of their actions.Surviving
pieces of the towers are shown in the museum，alongside damaged fire engines. It was a truly
thought-provoking visit，which made me value my own life that little bit more.
I think museums play an important role in preserving artifacts of historical importance for future
generations.Whatever your interests，there is likely to be a museum for you. You can visit waxwork
museums to see models of your favorite celebrities(and get photos with the Queen!)，science
museums for a more hands-on，interactive visit and so much more!Best of all，if you're eve r in the
UK，many of them are free!
52.The first paragraph tells us that .
A. people of all ages love going to museums
B .trips to museums are always very tiring
C.most museums in the USA are outdated
D. some youngsters find museums boring
53 .Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A .There are a lot of interactive parts in waxwork museums.
B .Art Institute of Chicago has a mixture of traditional and modern art.
C .You'd better read the stories before visiting the holocaust Memorial Museum.
D . The Air and Space Museum shows the attack 01 the twin towers by terrorists.
54.What can we infer from the passage?
A .Future generations have the duty to protect museums.
B.Visiting 9/11 Memorial and Museum is educational.
C .Most museums around the world are free for students.
D .Taking photos is allowed in the Smithsonian museums.
55.What is the writer's attitude towards museums?
A .She suggests going to museums•
B .She warns the problems of museums.
C .Museums have advantages and downsides.
D. Museums should be open to all kinds of people.

My little dream of book
I have always wanted to write. 56 When Harry Potter came out，I was so fascinated with
it. In those books，every wonderful thing was created by ink on a page.
The problem is that I am not a very good writer. Then I prepared a little black book and it
looked very common. 57 .It started as somewhere to write down all of the interesting
experiences. When an idea came into my head，I would write them down.Sometimes the first idea
was not such a good one，but it might lead to better ideas.I wrote down 10 ideas，no matter how
bad they are. 58 .After that I would develop it into a few pages.
Now I bring the book everywhere with me. 59 .It is full of colorful thoughts or what the
world is like.the world is full of strange things.Every day，there is something special and unusual
just waiting to be discovered.
My book is amazing.1t lets me catch all of those small things and catch them before they can go
away.So far I have written a great novel and some poems. 60 !For me，this book is more than
just words on paper. It is my special wealth.
Jl、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。(共10分，每小题2分)
Films provide more than just entertainment.Watching foreign language films is a way to
develop language skills.While watching a film，you are immersed(沉浸)in the language and can
pick up new expressions that you might not find in a textbook.Some difficulties can arise when
watching foreign language films-for example，unfamiliar colloquial language or strong regional
accents.With this in mind，here are my tips to help you make progress in English learning while
enjoying th e films.
Choose a film typ e that you enjoy.
If you like action films，watch an action film-for example Indiana Jones.If you prefer
comedies，watch a comedy-anything with Hugh Grant in always provides a laugh!It's simple
enough，but if you choose something you enjoy watching in your native language，you're more likely
to enjoy it in English.
Choose something that you are familiar with.
It's best to start off with something simple because in this way you have a higher chance of
understanding the film.Disney films such as The Lion King，or the more recently released Tangled，
are classic examples.Other cartoons such as Rango and The Lego Movie are also worth a watch.
If you need to，use subtitles(字幕).
Subtitles are very helpful for beginners.using subtitles in your own language is the easiest
choice，but for more advanced learners why not consider using English subtitles?This way，you can
match the written subtitles to the words spoken on .screen.It helps you to develop your language
further.
I hope you find these tips useful-if you want to recommend a film to other users，feel free to
use the comments section!
61 .Is watching foreign language films a way to develop language skills?
62 .What film type can we choose to learn English?

九、文段表达( One possible version)
Double Ninth Festival is a traditional Chinese Festival. On that day, people usually climb mountains and go outing with their family. It’s also a day to show respect to the old.
As a teenager, I try my best to do what I can to be nice to the old. I often visit my grandparents on weekends and talk to them and cheer them up. I also help them with the housework. Meanwhile, I am polite to the old. When I see them on the bus, I always offer them my seat. Moreover, I volunteer to look after the old who live alone in our neighborhood. I help them carry heavy things when they need help.
I think it’s very important to respect the old because they have done a lot to their family and to the country. One day, we will all be old.
