He got up one morning very late because he had forgotten to wind up (设定) his alarm clock. He tried to shave（刮脸）quickly and cut himself. When he got dressed he got blood all over his clean shirt, so he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing（熨烫）, so he ironed it. While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door. It was the man to read the electricity meter（电表）. He showed him where the meter was, said good-bye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all. By this time it was very late, so he decided he couldn’t go to work by bus. He telephoned for a taxi to take him to work. The taxi arrived and Harry got in and began to read the newspaper.

In another part of the town, a man had killed a woman with a knife and was seen to run away in a taxi. When Harry’s taxi stopped outside his office, a policeman happened to be standing there. He saw the blood on Harry’s shirt, and took him to the police station. He was kept till 3 o’clock in the afternoon before the police were sure that he was not the man they wanted.

27、How to listen in English exams

Listening is an important but difficult part for middle school students in English exams. The following suggestions may benefit you a lot.

Relax yourself.

Before listening, it’s necessary to have a peaceful state of mind. 【1】 If that doesn’t work, drinking some water or washing your face with cold water may help you to some extent.

【2】

As soon as the listening starts, focus on it without thinking about anything else. While listening, you can also recall the related knowledge in common with the material concerned, such as the vocabulary about the subject or topic, which is beneficial to your better understanding.

Grasp the main idea.

Sometimes the monologue, dialogue or conversation you’re listening to is a little bit longer than you expect. And it’s normal that some unnecessary information is included. However, you don’t need to understand it completely. 【3】

Ignore the new words.

Without doubt, there usually exist unfamiliar words in listening materials. In fact, it’s almost impossible for you to know or understand all the words in the listening material sometimes. 【4】 It’s mistaken to waste much time on figuring them out while listening.

Develop the habit of taking notes.

In the course of listening, it’s a good habit to write down the content and leave out the unimportant details. 【5】 By taking notes, we can remind ourselves of the key points.

A．Concentrate on listening.

B．The more words you memorize, the better it is.

C．Feeling nervous or worried is harmful and unnecessary.

D．What you need to do is turn a deaf ear to the new words.

E．Make a list of what you think is important while listening.

F．Instead, just pay attention to the key points and general ideas.

G．If you feel nervous or anxious, try taking a deep breath to calm yourself down.

28、The Chongyang Festival falls on the 9th day of the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, so it is also known as the Double Ninth Festival.

The festival is held in the golden season of autumn, at harvest-time. The bright clear weather and the joy of bringing in the harvest make for a festival happy atmosphere. The Chongyang Festival is usually perfect for outdoor activities. Climbing a mountain, carrying a spray of dogwood (茱萸) and drinking chrysanthemum (菊花) wine have become the traditional activities of the festival.

The dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance(香气), and is often used as a Chinese herbal medicine. People in ancient times believed it could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from getting a chill (寒意) in late autumn. So its history as a medicine goes back many centuries. But the custom of carrying a spray of dogwood during the Double Ninth Festival is slowly dying out and many people in the cities do not even know what a dogwood spray looks like.

Early in Han Dynasty, about 2000 years ago, people used to climb a high platform outside the capital city of Chang’ an on the occasion of the Chongyang Festival. For many, it was the last outing of the year before the onset of winter. The custom evolved (发展成) into present form, when people go climbing to get some exercises as well as enjoy the autumn scenery.

But what about those people who live in plains far from any mountain? The problem is solved by going for a picnic and eating cakes. The Chinese word for “cake” is “Gao”, a homonym (同音异义词) of the Chinese word for “high”. Mountains are high, so eating cakes can, by a stretch of the imagination, take the place of going for a climb.

【1】Why do people carry a spray of dogwood on Chongyang Festival?

A．Because the dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance.

B．Because the dogwood can be used as a Chinese herbal medicine.

C．Because the dogwood has a long history as a medicine.

D．Because people believed the dogwood could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from chill.

【2】People now climb mountains on the Chongyang Festival .

A．to have a last outing of the year before the onset of winter

B．to get some dogwoods

C．to climb a high platform

D．to get some exercise as well as enjoy the beautiful autumn scenery

【3】People living in plains far from mountains eat cakes because .

A．the Chinese word for “cake” is “Gao”

B．the Chinese word “Gao” for “cake” has the same sound with the Chinese word for “high”

C．they often take cakes to go for a picnic on the festival

D．they like eating cakes

【4】Which of the following is TRUE?

A．The Double Ninth Festival is on September 9th.

B．People climbed mountains to celebrate the Chongyang Festival in Han Dynasty.

C．People often celebrate the Chongyang Festival in the open air.

D．Eating cakes is just like climbing mountains.

29、How to travel light

Packing for a trip should be about getting together the essentials, not filling up a suitcase with your whole wardrobe. Too much baggage will weigh you down during your travels. Fortunately, travelling heavy is completely avoidable.

Downsizing your luggage

Limit the number of bags you bring. The more bags you take with you on your trip, the heavier your travel load will feel. If you’re only going away for a few days, try to fit everything you’re bringing into one suitcase or one backpack. If your trip is longer, limit yourself to two bags. Don’t spread your travel belongings out across multiple bags if it’s not necessary. One full suitcase will be easier to travel with than two half-full suitcases. If you’re flying to your destination, try to fit all your belongings in a carry-on size bag. It will be easier to get on and off the plane, and you won’t have to pay to check a bag.

Downsizing your travel wardrobe(服装)

Check the weather before you leave. If it’s calling for sunshine and warm weather every day of your trip, you don’t need to pack a heavy sweater or a rain jacket. If you’re worried the weather could change, remember that you can always buy or borrow something at your destination. Pack practical shoes you can wear on multiple occasions. Avoid packing a different pair of shoes for every day or event during your trip. Shoes can’t be folded or rolled up in your bag to save space. Aim for two pairs of shoes if possible, a casual pair of walking shoes and then something nicer for when you’ re in a more formal setting.

【1】Which is the right measure to downsize our luggage?

A．Prepare one suitcase and one backpack.

B．Fit all your things you bring in one full suitcase or bag.

C．Take at least two bags for a longer trip.

D．Put all your belongings in two half-full suitcases.

【2】What is suggested for weather change?

A．Check the weather as often as possible.

B．Take your trip only on sunny or warm days.

C．Buy or borrow something after you arrive.

D．Always pack a heavy sweater or a rain jacket.

【3】What kind of book is the text probably taken from?

A．A science magazine.

B．A nature magazine.

C．A health journal.

D．A tourist guide.

31、根据课文内容，填入适当形式的单词。

At the end of the 16th century, about five to seven million people 【1】 ( speak) English. Later in the next century, people from England made voyages to conquer other parts of the world and because  【2】 that, English began to 【3】 (speak) in many other countries. Today, more people speak English as their first, second or foreign language than ever before.

Native English speakers can understand each other even 【4】 they don’t speak the same kind of English. Look at this example:

British Betty: Would you like to see my 【5】?

American Amy: Yes, I’d like to come up to your apartment.

So why has English changed 【6】 time? Actually all languages change and develop 【7】 cultures meet and communicate with each other. At first the English 【8】(speak) in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. It was based more 【9】German than the English we speak now.

Then gradually  between about AD 800 and 1150, English became less like German because those 【10】 ruled England spoke first Danish and later French. These new settlers enriched the English language and especially its vocabulary.

32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

How often do you have a conversation with someone, and think you are paying attention to him or her, only to realize shortly afterwards that you can’t remember what he said? Or, perhaps you get distracted while he is speaking and miss the message that he is trying to deliver. In today’s busy world, modern life is full of distractions: TVs, radios, traffic noises, telephones, laptops and so on, which can make it difficult to listen with our full attention.

But how can we listen more effectively? Jon Kabat-Zinn, professor at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, put forward the idea of mindful listening. He said mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way, with a purpose, at the present moment and non-judgmentally.

When we listen mindfully, we can be aware of some barriers but still remain open to the speaker’s ideas and messages. Mindfulness encourages us to be aware of the present moment, let go of distractions and ignore physical and emotional reactions to what people say to us.

But how can we apply mindful listening to our life? Jon Kabat-Zinn describes three key elements of mindful listening that we can use to improve our listening skills.

First of all, be present. When we listen mindfully, our focus should be on the person we are listening to without distractions. Then develop empathy(共鸣). We often see the world through our own experiences. When we’re empathetic, we can understand a situation-from someone else’s point of view. At last, listen to our own “cues”. Our cues are the thoughts, feelings and physical reactions that we have when we feel anxious or angry, and they can block out ideas and perspectives that we’re uncomfortable with. Mindful listening can help us to be more aware of our cues, and allow us to choose not to let them block communication.

The rule is straightforward: simply “Listen”! Listen carefully and attentively. Pay full attention to the other person, and don’t let other thoughts, like what we are going to say next, distract us.
