A group of boys were playing basketball in the park. The playground was great,【1】. If one boy missed the ball, someone had to catch it at once, so it wouldn’t go too far away.

One boy threw the ball too hard and it flew like a rocket over the heads of all the other boys, and kept on flying.

Anna was sitting nearby and watching the ducks swim in the river. 【2】 and turned to see a big, orange object coming towards her.

“Stop the ball,” one of them shouted.

The ball landed close to the river. 【3】.

Anna opened her arms, just in time to stop the ball as it was going to fall into the river.

“Could you please bring it over here?” asked one boy politely.

Anna walked to them with the ball. She was nervous because the boys were older than her. 【4】 and thanked her for saving the ball.

24、What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck.

If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically(按字母表的顺序) and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98, meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23 +12+5+4+7+5=96, while love: 12+15+22+5=54, and luck: 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer(祈祷)? They can’t, either.

Then what else? Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude(态度).Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100，a full mark.

Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one’s attitude.

When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive (积极地) attitude towards failure(失败), you’ll find it’s also rewarding though it has caused you losses.

【1】In the writer’s opinion, what is the most important thing in a person’s life?

A. Hard-work.   B. Knowledge.

C. Money.   D. Attitude.

【2】According to the passage, if you meet with problems, the best way out is to _______.

A. ask for help from others

B. say your prayers to God

C. change your attitude

D. try maths-solving methods (方法)

【3】From the passage we can learn that ______.

A. different attitudes come from different courses of life

B. mathematics can solve every problem easily in our daily life

C. failure sometimes can bring you good if you take a positive attitude

D. none of the English words except “attitude” equals to 100 or more

25、Some years ago, I went to Australia for a meeting with my friend, Chris. We decided to drive across country to Brisbane to visit another friend after the meeting ended.

The first day we were excited and laughed at each other’s jokes. By the third day of driving in the endless desert, we began to get bored. We had been quiet for a few hours when suddenly Chris saw some kangaroos. We were both excited and decided to get a closer look. Chris accelerated to catch up with the kangaroos. We got closer and closer, and Chris was doing 110 kilometers per hour. We were very close to the kangaroos—too close—when we heard a loud BANG!

Chris stopped the car and we got out. Behind the car was a large kangaroo lying still on the ground. Chris went over to the kangaroo and put his baseball cap on its head. He took off his sunglasses and put them on the kangaroo and did the same with his jacket. Then he put his arm around the kangaroo and told me to take a photo of them together. I was still in shock, but I took out my camera. While I was taking the photo, I saw the kangaroo move. It suddenly woke up, looked at Chris, and jumped away into the distance before we could do anything.

I started laughing but Chris looked very serious. He said his purse and passport(护照) were in the jacket. I started laughing even harder. I stopped laughing, however, when he said our car keys were also in the jacket.

26、The FIFA World Cup will be held in Qatar and exciting moment is truly coming. It’s the world’s biggest international soccer game and also the most-watched sporting event in the world. There are 32 teams competing to win. This year’s game looks to be particularly unique (独一无二). What makes it different from the ones before?

For starters, it’s the first time the game has been held in the Middle East after Qatar beat other host competitors—the US, South Korea, Japan and Australia back in 2010. It’s also the first time in history the game is happening during the Northern Hemisphere (北半球) winter months, from Nov 20 to Dec 18.

That’s because Qatar is a desert country, and in summer the temperature can be as high as 42℃. That’s way too hot to play outdoor sports. But it will still be pretty warm in winter. The temperature in the stadium (体育场) is expected to be around 20℃ to 30℃. Air conditioning (空调) will help to keep it cooler.

Qatar is also the smallest nation by area to host the cup. They’ll be playing the first match of the game, facing Ecuador (厄瓜多尔). It’s Qatar’s first-ever FIFA World Cup game. This makes them the first country to host their debut (首秀) game since Italy in 1934!

There may be new challenges for many players too. Besides the hot weather, for European teams like England, France, Germany and Spain, it’s only just over a year since their last big international game, the UEFA Champions League (欧联杯).

According to FIFA’s rankings (排名), the favorites to win the game this year are Brazil, followed by Argentina and France.

27、   Homework exams and most importantly, test scores--- the things you have to worry about seem endless. You are sure not alone. In China, many students are stressed out because of too much homework. But there might be good news for some of them.

On Oct 28th, the Education Department of Zhejiang Province polished a draft(提纲) on cutting students’ homework to ask about public opinions and it had became a hot topic. It gives primary school pupils the right to leave their homework unfinished after 9pm, and junior high school students after 10pm, with parents’ permission.

Children in Zhejiang will like the draft. However, it has mat strong objections(反对) from parents. Although parents don’t want their children under too much pressure with homework, many disagree to cut homework down.

There is a reason for the objections：gaokao, the “all-important” national entrance exam. If schools reduce homework, “the parents, who want their children to get higher scores, must provide them with more after-school trainings,” said a primary school teacher in Hangzhou.

The aim of this draft, an official in Zhejiang explained, is to help to treat students differently and make sure they get enough sleep.

Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at the National Institute of Education Sciences, also doubted if the guidelines would be carried on. “They are not suitable in the recent social environment.” He said to People’s Daily.

“Even if schools make changes, it is difficult to change the way that students study for scores.” He suggests that it would make better sense to make the system of college admission more flexible, and in many other countries, the performance of students is judged by professional institution rather than government.

【1】What does underlined “many” in para.3 refer to?

A.Children who will welcome the move.

B.Parents who are against the move.

C.Teachers who don’t want their students to be under some stress.

D.The officials who are worried about the move.

【2】What is NOT true according to the passage?

A.The draft is not welcomed by many parents in Zhejiang.

B.Maybe parents will send their children to more after-school training.

C.The aim of the draft is to make sure students can have enough time to exercise.

D.Students should be treated differently.

【3】What does Chu Zhaohui mainly want to tell us?

A.Students will have more chance to take part in the activities they like because of the draft.

B.The system of college admission should be changed as the school has made changes.

C.Students should spend more time doing homework if we change the system of college admissions.

D.The performance of students should be judged by their school.

【4】What is the best title of this passage?

A.Can students have the right to do whatever they like?

B.Can parents pay less attention to their kids?

C.Can schools have the chance to choose students?

D.Can students spend less time doing homework?

28、A. exchange   B. carry C. start D. make E. produced

Long ago, people did not need money. They lived on wild animals, fruits and other plants.

As time passed by, people learned to raise animals and crops. Sometimes, families 【1】 more than they needed, so they started to trade with other families. Later, people began to use money as a means of 【2】. However, it was not the kind of money we use today. They used shells, rice, salt, large stones, etc.

During the 600s B.C., people began using coins as money. They soon found that coins were easier to 【3】 than goods and lasted a long time. Later, countries began to make their own coins.

The Chinese were the first to use the paper money, probably as early as the 11th century. The Italian travelers Marco Polo saw the Chinese using money when he visited China in the 1200s. However, European countries did not 【4】 using paper money until 1600s.

Today, we have many ways to pay for things. We do not use coins or paper money. Often people prefer to pay for things by card. Paying with a card is easier and safer than carrying around a lot of“real”money.
