In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.
The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired
a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.
It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.
Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Jonses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.
24. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they _______.
A. want to be as rich as their neighbors
B. want others to know or to think that they are rich
C. don’t want others to know they are rich D. want to be happy
25. It can be inferred (推断) from the story that rich people like to _______.
A. live outside New York City B. live in New York city
C. live in apartments D. have many neighbors
26. Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of short stories because “Jones” is
___________.
A. an important name B. a popular name in the United States
C. his neighbor’s name D. not a good name
27. According to the writer, it is ____________ to keep up with the Joneses.
A. correct B. interesting C. impossible D. good
C
How to improve my life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They’ll say, “This is my fate, my destiny（命运）. I cannot change it.” Of course not! You don't have to suffer needlessly. Your destiny depends on you, not on any other outer factors.
I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep.
Next day, the same things cycle follows.
Huh! Is this what she calls “doing her best”? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that God has intended for her to live; that her luck can only change if God wills it. Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of exerting (运用) the effort to live the life of our dreams.
Remember that you reap(收获) what you sow. You just don’t sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Don’t expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don't just regard it as a temporary(临时的) setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It’s not enough to think positively（积极地）; you also have to act positively.
If someone’s life is in the trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don't just stand (or sit ) there, do something to improve your life.
28. According to the woman mentioned in Para.3, her life _______.
A. doesn't need improving B. couldn't be improved
C. will be better some day D. will be worse in the future
29. What does the author think of the woman's life?
A. positive B. satisfying C. colorful D. passive
30. Which of the following statements is the author's opinion?
A. Your temporary problem is not discouraging.
B. Your luck can be changed by your hard work.
C. You can only achieve success when God wills it.
D. You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends.
31. The text is mainly written to advise you to _______.
A. understand yourself B. improve your life
C. believe in yourself D. change your normal way
D
Birds have been observed to sleep while in flight for the first time ever. Because of some flights that can often last several days, weeks, or even longer, some sea birds have long been thought of being able to fall fully asleep while “on the wing”, though it was not proven.
Now researchers say they have evidence which shows birds can sleep in flight. Scientists
from Max Planck Institute used a sample of 15 adult female frigatebirds (军舰鸟) to test the sleep patterns. Each bird had a small electroencephalogram (EEG脑电图) sensor fitted to record changes in the animals’ brain activity as they flew for up to 10 days and over 3,000 kilometres.
The readings showed that during flight the birds could sleep using one hemisphere of the brain, or both together. It was known that frigatebirds could sleep with one “half” of the brain, which allows them to keep one eye open and “connected” to the awake half.
According to the research, it is sleeping technique used by birds for finding directions. “Frigatebirds sleep mostly while circling in rising air and keep the eye connected to the awake hemisphere facing the direction of flight, suggesting that they watch where they are going,” says the study.
Despite the ability to fall “fully” asleep, the birds were found to do it less in the air compared to one land. They slept “very little and less deeply while in flight. This suggests that though it is possible, falling totally asleep is not very good during flight which will need the bird’s attention.
The researchers said the short sleep could be serving as “power naps” to keep the birds going until they return to land. Further study could help us understand why lack of sleep affects humans so badly.
32. The phrase “on the wing” in the first paragraph may mean __________.
A. sleeping. B. fighting. C. flying. D. thinking.
33. Why did the researchers fit the frigatebirds with EEG sensors?
A. To know animals’ brain activity.
B. To get some of the good samples.
C. To help the birds fly much longer.
D. To use the birds to find directions.
34. How do the sleeping birds find the directions?
A. They keep one eye connected to the awake part.
B. They sleep less when they are circling in rising air.
C. They pay special attention to the way.
D. They have a good sleep before they start flying.
35. What is the best title of the text?
A. A Study on Birds in Flight B. Birds Can Sleep in Flight
C. Flying Birds’ Brain Activity D. Sleep With Half of the Brain

Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning, and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resetting your body clock. 36___ Here’s how to make one.
●___37 _ In order to make a change, you need to decide why it’s important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reasons, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.
●Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities.

It was a relief and I came to a stop just in the middle the road.
【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在暑假期间考驾照第一天发生的故事。
第一处：eighteen改为eighteenth 考查数词。句意：在我十八岁生日后的那个暑假。eighteen意思为“十八，十八个”，表示数量，eighteenth表示“第十八个的”，故将eighteen改为eighteenth。
第二处：first前加the/my 考查冠词。句意：我依然记得第一天是多么艰难。句中特指开始学驾照的第一天，所以在first前加上the。也可以加上my，my first day表示“我（学驾照）的第一天”，故在first前加the或my。
第三处：so改为but/yet 考查连词。根据句意可知作者本以为自己已经掌握了教练的话，结果一发动车，脑中一片空白，前后文为转折关系，故将so改为but或yet。
第四处：goes改为went 考查时态。根据前文中的started可知时态为一般过去时，故将goes改为went。
第五处：word改为words 考查单复数。句意：教练一直喊“加速！”“减速！”“左转！”。word“单词，消息”，words 可以表示为word的复数，也表示某人说的话，这里指教练说的那些话，故将word改为words。
第六处：Turning改为Turn 考查非谓语动词。分析语境可知教练的话“加速”，“减速”，“左转”都是祈使句，根据前文“Speed up!” “Slow down!”也可以看得出来。祈使句应该用动词原形，故将Turning改为Turn。
第七处：much去掉 考查固定句型。句意：我如此紧张以至于无法分辨哪个方向是左。固定句型so...that…表示“如此……以至于……”，much为多余成分，故将much去掉。
第八处：late改为later 考查副词。late在此作副词，late“迟地”，later“稍后、随后”。此处表示“几分钟之后”，故将late改为later。
第九处：suddenly改为sudden 考查形容词。句意：我来了个紧急刹车。suddenly是副词，表示“意外地，忽然地”。sudden为形容词，表示“突然的；迅速的”，修饰名词stop用形容词，故将suddenly改为sudden。a sudden stop表示“急刹车”。
第十处：on改为of 考查介词。分析语境可知此处表示“在路中间急刹车”，on the road表示“在路上”，the middle of the road表示“路的中央”，强调的是“the middle”，故将on改为of。
【名师点睛】
1. 谓语动词的错误是历年考试的重点和热点，常见动词错误类型有：①一般现在时与一般过去时错用；②and前后动词时态不一致；③主谓不一致；④缺少动词，特别是be动词；⑤第三人称单数形式错用；⑥主动语态和被动语态错用。
2. 名词的常见错误：单、复数名词错用，可数名词与不可数名词错用。
例如第五处将 word改为words。word“单词，消息”，words 可以表示为word的复数，也表示某人说的话，这里指教练说的那些话，故将word改为words。
3. 冠词错误：误用a和an（根据单词的第一个音素来判定）；误用a/an和the（固定搭配，或泛指、特指；多冠词或少冠词）
例如第二处 first前加the或my。句中特指开始学驾照的第一天，所以在first前加上the。也可以加上my，my first day表示“我（学驾照）的第一天”，故在first前加the或my。
4. 形容词和副词错误：系动词（am/is/are/was/were/become/go）和感官动词（smell/feel等）后用形容词；词性的误用（形容词修饰名词；副词修饰动词和形容词）。
例如第九处将suddenly改为sudden。suddenly是副词，表示“意外地，忽然地”。sudden为形容词，表示“突然的；迅速的”，修饰名词stop用形容词，故将suddenly改为sudden。a sudden stop表示“急刹车”。
5. 代词错误：代词的主格和宾格（I/me; he/him; she/her; we/us; they/them）错误；反身代词（myself/yourself/himself/herself/themselves/ourselves）使用错误；代词的单数和复数使用错误；代词指代错误；多代词或少代词。
6. 非谓语动词的常见错误：不定式、动名词作主语、宾语时；and连接的不定式或动名词前后不一致；介词后用动名词形式作宾语；某些动词后要求接动名词或不定式。
例如第六处将Turning改为Turn。分析语境可知教练的话“加速”“减速”“左转”都是祈使句，根据前文“Speed up!”“Slow down!”也可以看出来。祈使句应该用动词原形，故将Turning改为Turn。
7. 介词错误：词组中的介词误用；介词意思理解偏差；介词的多用或少用。
例如第十处将 on改为of。分析语境可知此处表示“在路中间急刹车”，on the road表示“在路上”，the middle of the road表示“路的中央”，强调的是“the middle”，故将on改为of。
作文参考答案One possible version:
Dear John,
I'm Li Hua, one of your schoolmates. I'm sorry to hear that you are lonely in this new school. Now I'd like to offer you some suggestions.
First, it's normal for you to feel lonely, because you are living in an entirely new environment. Second, you'd better take an active part in class and after school activities, which
can help your classmates learn more about you. Don't be afraid to show people what you are really good at. It's easier to make friends when you have similar interests. Third, I'd like to be your friend and I invite you to come to my home on weekends. My mother can cook delicious food and you'll enjoy it.
I hope everything will be fine with you in the future.
Yours,
Li Hua

M: A recent study shows that nearly 50 percent of the school children in Beijing do not have breakfast. As a result, they tend to feel sleepy all day and have bad memory, so it is hard for them to score high marks in many tests.
Some students who study late into the night choose to miss breakfast so that they can have a few extra minutes in bed. Others are given money to buy their breakfast on the way to school because their parents are too busy to prepare it for them. In addition, a few schoolgirls want to stay slim and often go to school without breakfast.
The morning meal plays an important part in providing 30 percent of the whole day's energy. For a creative mind and better judgment, school children should start their day with a regular breakfast.
