Ⅱ 完形填空。（共10小题，计10分）
阅读下面一篇短文，理解大意，然后从各小题的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案，使短文连贯完整。
One day, I heard an American boy say to a Chinese girl student, “You speak very good English.” But the girl answered, “No, no, my English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite 16 at the answer. Thinking he had not made 17 understood or the girl had not heard him clearly, he said, “Yes, indeed, you speak very well.” 18 the girl still kept saying, “No.” In the end, the American boy could not understand and didn’t know 19 to say.
What’s wrong with the girl’s answer? She didn’t receive a compliment（称赞）in the same way as the American people do. She should answer, “Thank you” instead of “No”. She 20 understood what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest. In the 21 , people will feel proud and 22 when they are praised. So if someone says the 23 you have cooked is very delicious, you should say, “Thank you.”
In our country we think being modest is a virtue（美德）and being proud is a bad thing, but in my opinion, being confident does not mean being proud, so sometimes you should be confident 24 being modest.
If you are modest and say, “No, I’m afraid I can’t do it well”, while working in a western country, the others may think that you really can’t do it. If you often say “No”, you will certainly be looked down upon (轻视)by 25 . When asking for a job, if one says something like “Yes, I can certainly do it” instead of “Let me have a try”, he or she will succeed in getting it. So in the west, you should be brave to show you’re self-confident.
( ) 16. A. excited B. surprised C. relaxed D. frightened
( ) 17. A. itself B. herself C. himself D. themselves
( ) 18. A. Though B. Although C. Or D. But
( ) 19. A. when B. which C. what D. how
( ) 20. A. hardly B. really C. rarely D. badly
( ) 21. A. east B. south C. west D. north
( ) 22. A. dutiful B. modest C. shameful D. confident
( ) 23. A. dishes B. cups C. glasses D. bowls
( ) 24. A. as soon as B. as well as C. instead of D. in spite of
( ) 25. A. another B. the other C. the others D. others
Ⅲ 阅读理解。（共15小题，计20分）
根据下面一篇短文的内容判断下列句子正(A)误(B)。（共5小题，计5分）
A
Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today. People didn’t have modern machines. There was no modern medicine, either.
Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and polluted our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It’s bad to all living things in the world.
Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt over a city. This kind of quilt is called smog.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away, they mustn’t blow dirty smoke into the air.
We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and not throw it on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.
Rules are not enough. Every person must help to fight against pollution.
( ) 26. Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today only because there was no modern medicine.
( ) 27. The biggest problem in today’s life is pollution.
( ) 28. The most serious kind of pollution is water pollution.
( ) 29. Factories must clean their water before it is thrown away.
( ) 30. From the passage we know that people are making rules in order to fight pollution.

Experts(专家)say that students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep at night , but more Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard. But not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger with his eyes still closed, begging(央求) for one more minute to sleep . Like thousands of student “early birds” in China, he has to get up before six every morning.
A report shows that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.
Experts have ever said that students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study late, they are able to work well in class.

A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street boy was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, Paul?” he asked．
Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised, “You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything? Boy, I wish…”He hesitated(踌躇)．
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.

Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.
Then he ran up to the steps. In a short time while Paul heard him coming back, the boy was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled(残疾的) brother. He helped him to sit down on the step and pointed to the car.
“There he is, Buddy, just like what I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it, then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about.”
