On April 19th, an exhibition about pottery (陶器) was held at Wuhan Optical Valley Experimental School. Many pieces of pottery in different sizes were shown at the school. Some were a bit broken, 1.but all of them were objects of beauty made by the students.

At the end of last year, the school started a project that called on teachers to collect disused or broken pieces of pottery from the countryside. So for, they have collected almost 3, 000 pieces. “2.陶器过去在人们的日常生活中扮演了重要的角色,” school headmaster Ma Guoxin told the reporter. “By pottery painting, the students can improve themselves in many ways. 3.They can have a better understanding of the history of pottery and show the love for life.

Students turned the pottery into different works of art. 4.They were all encouraged to paint pictures on them, even though some students were still beginners. Slowly, they became better at painting on the pottery. In March, the school held a pottery painting competition. Wang Zixuan, a student from Grade Nine, with little knowledge of painting, painted a beautiful night scenery Thanksgiving Day has become a public holiday (风景) on a piece of pottery.

It was so nice that many students loved it. Almost every classroom has colored pieces of pottery. They are either used as flowerpots (花盆) or pen containers (笔筒). The school has also set up several art comers to show the pottery. For example, the students have put some pottery on bookcases outside of a lecture hall (报告厅). 5.它已经变成了学生们放松的好地方。

24、   Jane Eyre (简爱) tells the story of a good and independent woman, who does not depend on others and does not give up even facing many difficulties. Jane is poor and an orphan (孤儿) and is treated badly by her rich aunt and cousins. She is sent away to a school where the pupils are treated very badly. Jane remains strong, because she knows she is good. And when she had the chance to run away, she does. Jane takes a job in the house of a rich man called Mr Rochester.

Jane falls in love with Mr Rochester who is twenty years older than her. Jane is sad when Rochester brings a beautiful woman Blanche to his house. Jane thinks Rochester will marry Blanche. So she decides to leave. Rochester asks her to stay but she will not. She tells him she loves him and says that she is poor and not beautiful, but it does not mean that she has no feelings. She speaks to Rochester as a ‘spiritual equal’.

Rochester asks Jane to marry him and she agrees, but on the day of the wedding she finds out that Rochester is already married. Jane decides to leave and even though Rochester says his wife is mad and begs Jane to stay, she cannot. Jane will not stay with a man who is already married. She has no family to protect her and no money, but she is proud and she wants to do the right thing.

When Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte was first published, it was called an autobiography (自传) . In Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte, like Charles Dickens, shows the double-standards in Victorian Britain. The poor and especially orphans were not given any protection by the law, they were seen as animals not humans. The rich lived a life of luxury (奢侈) and by giving a little money to charity, they thought they had done their best.

25、   There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers, he used two buckets(桶). One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very dilapidated one, which had been used for many years, but was now past its best.

Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the road, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop coming out. The old bucket felt very ashamed (惭愧的) because of its holes; before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked (漏) along the road.

Sometimes the new bucket would say, "See how helpful I am! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day! I don't know why he still uses you. What a waste of space you are!"

And all that the old bucket could say was, "I know I'm not very useful, but I can only do my best. I'm happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, at least.”

One day, the gardener heard that kind of conversation. After watering the flowers as usual, he said," You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along the road.”

Then the two buckets did so. All along the road, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare(光秃秃的) earth; on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.

【1】The underlined word in the first paragraph" dilapidated" probably means “ ”.

A.肮脏的 B.光鲜的 C.破旧的 D.普通的

B.the new bucket felt sorry for the old bucket.

C.the new bucket thought it a waste to keep using the old one.

D.the old bucket felt unlucky that the gardener still used it.

【4】The writer wrote the passage to tell us that .

A.practice makes perfect B.east or west, home is best

C.all roads lead to Rome D.old wood is best to burn

26、Some people think music isn’t funny at all. About 4% of the population is what scientists call “amusic”. People who are amusics are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. Amusic people often cannot tell the differences between two songs.

As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. In fact, most people cannot understand what it feels like to be an amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in social loneliness. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was an amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify（辨别）this unusual condition.

Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from those who can enjoy music. The difference is complex（复杂 的）, and it is not connected with poor hearing. Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding common speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.

Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed（诊断）. For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem. Now she knows that she is not alone. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say ‘No, thanks. I’m an amusic.’” says Margaret.

【1】Amusics are the people who ________.

A．like music

B．have poor listening

C．don’t like music

D．are born unable to enjoy music

【2】Scientists identify amusics by ________.

A．studying different kinds of music

B．going to parties regularly

C．studying amusic people

D．comparing music to colors

【3】What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Amusics’ strange behaviors.

B．Musical ability.

C．Some people’s inability to enjoy music.

D．Identification and treatment of amusic.

27、

Dorothy and her friends were nervous to get out of the forest as soon as they could, so they hurried along the yellow brick road. It was not long before they came to a wider river.

“What can we do now?” Dorothy cried. “There isn’t a tree tall enough to fall across this river.”

“There’s no problem,” the Scarecrow said. “The Tin Woodman will build a raft (木筏).”

And this is what the Tin Woodman did. And while he was busy making the raft, Dorothy found some wild fruit and nuts, which she ate hungrily. Then, because it was taking the Tin Woodman a long time to finish the raft, Dorothy lay down and went to sleep.

The night passed without any problems, and the next morning the small raft was ready. Dorothy sat in the middle with Toto. The lion stood at one end and nearly made the boat sink (沉没) because he was so big and heavy. The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman stood at the other end. They both had long poles (杆子) that they used to push the raft through the water.

At first all went well, but then the river became deep, but the poles couldn’t not touch the bottom. The Tin Woodman said, “If we cannot stay near the land and the yellow brick road, the Wicked Witch of the West will use her magic and hurt us.”

“And then we won’t meet the Wizard, and I won’t get any wisdom,” the Scarecrow said.

“And I won’t get a heart,” the Tin Woodman said.

“And I won’t get any courage,” the Lion said.

“And I’ll never get home to Kansas,” Dorothy said. “We must do something.”

The Scarecrow was able to push the raft to the river bank. Dorothy, Toto, the Lion and the Tin Woodman got off. Before the Scarecrow could get off, however, the boat moved away from the river bank and carried the Scarecrow down the river.

Dorothy said, “Perhaps we’ll meet the raft further down the river. The most important thing now is to get back to the yellow brick road and continue on our way to the City of Emeralds.”

The Lion and the Tin Woodman agreed, and they set off along the river bank. It was not long before they saw the Scarecrow. He was holding onto the pole in the middle of the river. There was no sign of the raft.

【1】What probably happened to Dorothy and her friends before this passage?

A．They met the Wizard.

B．They met danger in a forest.

C．Their dream came true.

D．The Wicked Witch helped them.

【2】What can we learn from this passage?

A．The Tin Woodman wanted to get some wisdom.

B．The Lion helped to push the raft to the river bank.

C．Dorothy didn’t want the Scarecrow to go on with them.

D．It was dangerous for Dorothy and her friends to stay far away from the land.

【3】Which is the correct order of the following things?

①Dorothy and her friends got off the raft.

②The Tin Woodman began to build a raft.

③Dorothy found some wild fruit and nuts to eat.

④The Scarecrow was carried down the river with the raft.

China is a great country with the largest population in the world. In order to 【1】 [sɒlv] the population problem, our government carried out the one-child policy before.
