_______________________________________________________

2、请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从下面所给的词中选出最恰当的10个填空，并将答案填写到答题卷的相应位置。每个词限用一次。

Some people think that if we want to learn English well we must learn English grammar well first of all. 【1】 believe we can’t learn English well 【2】 we keep in mind as many English words and phrases as possible.

In my opinion, grammar rules, new words and phrases are very important, 【3】 they are not enough. For example, some of my classmates are quite good at grammar and have learned a lot of English 【4】 and phrases, but they can’t express themselves in English 【5】 they meet foreign friends.

The best way to 【6】 English well, I think, is to learn and use English all the time. Don’t be afraid of being laughed at 【7】. We’d better do a lot of listening, speaking, 【8】 and writing. If you can form the habit of thinking and writing in English all day, you are 【9】 to grasp the spirit of English within a short period of time.

Only in this 【10】 that I suggest, can we learn English well. So I think this is the best way.

21、   Modesty(谦逊) is a valuable quality in many cultures around the world. In China, this is no different. However, the phrase “毛遂自荐” seems to disagree with this.

During the Warring States Period, the Qin army marched(进军) on Handan. Seeing that Handan was in danger, Prince Pingyuan sought help from the state of Chu. He wanted to pick 20 talented people to go with him. However, he could only find 19 people who were good enough. Then, a man named Mao Sui volunteered.

Prince Pingyuan looked at Mao Sui with doubt, “How long have you been here with me?”

“Three years,” Mao Sui answered.

“I hear that a person with talent is like an awl(锥子) in a cloth bag. Its sharp point will soon pierce(戳) through the bag. You’ve been here for a long time, but I haven’t seen any of your achievements. Maybe you don’t have any talent.” said Prince Pingyuan.

“What I’m asking you now is to put me into that bag. If you do that, I will pierce through it. But not only the point — the whole awl,” Mao Sui said confidently.

Impressed, Prince Pingyuan allowed Mao to join his team, and Mao proved very helpful. Now the phrase “Mao Sui recommending himself” is used to describe someone who volunteers to do a task.

However, there is a fine line between self-confidence and arrogance(傲慢). It’s important to believe in yourself, but a strong ego can harm your career and professional relationships. So we recommend letting your work speak for itself.

【1】Where was Mao Sui from?

A.Qin. B.Chu. C.Handan. D.Pingyuan.

【2】What does the phrase “毛遂自荐” mean?

A.Show modesty. B.Feel unconfident.

C.Be professional. D.Volunteering for a task.

【3】The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 6 means ________.

A.putting an awl into a bag

B.putting Mao Sui into a bag

C.letting Mao Sui join the team

D.refusing Mao Sui

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Modesty isn’t a valuable quality.

B.Mao Sui was a confident person.

C.Prince Pingyuan didn’t like Mao Sui.

D.The writer thinks we should learn from Mao Sui.

22、We all know that plants are delicious food for insects(昆虫). But some plants are able to develop ways to protect themselves from insects.

Some plants have physical features(特点) that stop insects from landing on them. For example, the passion plant’s(龙珠果的) leaves have little spiky(有尖刺的) hairs all over them. They are like spikes, pushing out of that plant. There are so many that no room is left for the insects to land on. So the insects can’t eat them. The little hairs serve as a physical feature that helps protect the passion plant from insects.

Other plants protect themselves using chemical things, like the potato plant. The potato plant is able to give out a chemical all over its leaves. The insect swallows this chemical as it eats the leaves. This chemical discourages the insect from wanting to eat more of the plant. How? Well, this chemical makes the insect feel full, like it’s already had enough. The insect no longer feels hungry so it stops eating the plant. So, by giving out this chemical, the potato plant protects itself from insects.

【1】What is true about the passion plant?

A．It doesn’t have any leaves.

B．Its leaves are full of spikes.

C．It is too small for insects to eat.

D．Insects like to eat spikes of the passion plant.

【2】The underlined word “discourages” in the passage means “________” in Chinese.

A．鼓励

B．吞噬

C．阻止

D．使灰心

【3】How does the potato plant protect itself?

A．It gives out a chemical making insects feel full.

B．It has too many leaves for insects to eat.

C．It has bad leaves for insects to eat.

D．It gives out a chemical to kill insects.

【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．How to grow plants.

B．Two ways for plants to protect themselves.

C．The relationship between plants and insects.

D．How to make plants stay away from insects.

23、Little river run down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert (沙漠). “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing (消失) into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself.

At this time, a deep voice said. “If wind can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little river answered, “That’s because the wind can fly. but I cannot.” The desert said, “That’s because you stick to what you are. Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the wind, and it can take you across.” “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little river could not accept this idea. “The wind can carry the vapor (蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” Hearing this, the little river went into the open arms of wind. It carried her to the next part of her life.

The way of our lives is like the little river. If you want to go through difficulties in your life and head for success, you should also change the way you are sometimes.

25、   In the United States, people enjoy entertaining（招待）guests at home. So they invite【1】 (friend) over a meal, a  party,  or just for coffee. People often send 【2】 (they)  invitation by saying, “Would you come over for dinner this Saturday evening?” “Hey, we are having a party on Friday. Could you【3】 (join) us?”

If people accept the invitation, they often say, “Yes, thank you.” 【4】 they cannot go, they  may say “I’m sorry”, and give an excuse for it.

Sometimes, people use some other expressions. They sound like invitations, 【5】  they are  not real invitations.【6】 example: “Please come over for a drink sometime.” “Why don’t you come over and see us sometime soon?” In fact, these are not real invitations because they  【7】  not have a specifi（ 特定的）time ordate.

When people reply to expressions like these, they just say, “Sure, that would be great.” or “OK, thanks.” So next time you hear something like an invitation, listen【10】(careful) to make sure if it is a real invitation or the person is just being friendly to you.
