King Midas used to love gold. One day he met a fairy who allowed him to make a wish for
something. The king replied at once, ‘‘I love gold. I want everything I touch to change into gold”.
‘‘Very well, tomorrow morning, everything you touch will turn into gold.” Saying this, the fairy
disappeared.
The king waited excitedly till the next morning. To his joy, everything he touched changed
immediately into gold. ‘‘I’m the richest man in the world now,” he shouted.
Soon Midas became hungry. He sat down at his table. All the foods and drinks turned into gold
in his hand. ‘‘I’m dying of hunger,” he cried.Just then his daughter came running in. ‘‘Why are you so sad, dad?” she asked, putting her arms
around him. There and then she became a golden statue. The king loved his daughter very much.
Seeing this, he began to cry. He looked up and suddenly saw the fairy before him. ‘‘Don’t you like
the golden touch?” asked the fairy. ‘‘Please take it away,” begged the king, ‘‘and give me back my
daughter.” ‘‘Well, you have learned your lesson. Go and wash in the river. Then the golden touch
will be gone.” The king ran quickly to the nearby river.

Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as
children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for
years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after
many years and still ride away. He can play, catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who
has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle,
twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have
learned something, extra learning trials (尝试) increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and
playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks.
We not only learn but overlearn.
The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception (例外) to the general rule that we
forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we
overlearn in childhood.
The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may
result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student
may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost
everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future
development.
24．What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A．People remember well what they learned in childhood.
B．Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
C．Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D．Stories for children are easy to remember.
25．The author explains the law of overlearning by ________.
A．presenting research findings
B．setting down general rules
C．making a comparison
D．using examples
26．What does the word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Commonly accepted rules.
B．The multiplication tables.
C．Things easily forgotten.
D．School subjects.
27．What is the author’s opinion on cramming?
A．It’s helpful only in a limited way.
B．It leads to failure in college exams.
C．It’s possible to result in poor memory.
D．It increases students’ learning interest.C
An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was
that he was very sick and they had no money for a very expensive operation.
When she heard her daddy say “Only a miracle (奇迹) can save him now,” the little girl went to
her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.
She hurried to a drugstore with the money in her hand.
“What do you want?” asked the salesman. “It’s for my brother, Andrew” the girl answered. “He
has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how
much does a miracle cost?”
“We don’t sell a miracle here, child. I’m sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.
“Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”
A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of miracle does your brother need?”
“I don’t know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he
needs an operation. But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I’ve brought all my money.”
“How much do you have?” asked the man.
“$1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered.
“Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$1.11, the price of a miracle for your little brother.”
He took up the girl’s hand and said, “Take me to your house. I want to see your brother. Let’s
see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”
That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor. The operation was
successful and it wasn’t long before Andrew was home again.
How much did the miracle cost?
28．In the eye of the little girl, a miracle might be _______.
A．something interesting B．something beautiful
C．some wonderful medicine D．some good food
29．The little girl said again and again “...I can try and get some more.” That shows _______.
A．she had still kept some money B．she hoped not to be refused
C．There was no need to worry about money D．she thought money was easy to get
30．What made the miracle happen?
A．The girl’s love for her brother. B．The girl’s money.C．The medicine from the drugstore. D．Nobody can tell.
31．From the passage we can infer (推断) that _______.
A．A miracle is sure to happen if you keep on
B．The doctor didn’t ask for any pay
C．The little girl is lovely but not so clever
D．Andrew was in fact not so sick as they had thought
D
Birthdays are especially important to the very young and the very old. On their birthdays,
people receive birthday cards and birthday presents from their family and friends. Children’s cards
often have a large number on them showing how old they are. Cards for adults have pictures of
flowers or scenery, or humorous or rude cartoons. Inside there is usually a simple greeting, such as
“Happy Birthday” or “Many Happy Returns of the Day.”
In the US, children who have their birthdays during the school year take a cake to school and
have a small party with their classmates. In Britain, children sometimes get Bumped (lifted off the
ground horizontally and put down again sharply) by their friends.
In the US, the 16th birthday is called sweet 16. It is the age at which a person can get a US
driver’s license, and some wealthier parents give their children a car as a present. At 18, in Britain
and in the US, young people become adults and many have a big party. In most parts of the US, 21 is
the age at which people can drink alcohol legally.
In Britain, people celebrate 21st birthday less. Many adults dislike getting older and a few lie
about their age. But in general older people are now much more willing to tell others their age. You
may see a sign by the side of a road saying: “Dave Ell is 40 today!”, put there by Dave’s friends. At
about 65, people retire, and those who have reached this age are called senior citizens. Few people
live to be 100, so a 100th birthday is very special. In Britain, people reaching this age may receive
card containing a printed message from the Queen.
32．What’s the main characteristic of children’s birthday cards?
A．They are full of pictures of scenery.
B．There are some flowers on them.
C．There is a large number on them.
D．They have greetings written on them.33．In the last paragraph, the example “Dave Ellis 40 today” shows ______.
A．The 40th birthday is very special
B．Many adults like lying about their age
C．Dave’s friends like playing jokes on him.
D．Older people don’ t mind telling others their age now
34．If a person reaches 65, he can ______.
A．be called a senior citizen B．refuse to talk about his age
C．receive a card from the queen D．be invited to dinner with the Queen
35．We can infer from the passage that _______ .
A．Bars in the US are forbidden to sell alcohol to young people under 21.
B．In Britain, 18 means young people become adults.
C．Young people will get a car as the 16th birthday present in the US.
D．British young men love to celebrate the 21st birthday.
第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余
选项。
Travelling is a great way to interact with a culture which might be completely different
from your own.
36． Before I moved to Sicily I had travelled around the whole of Italy, the south and the north,
and I absolutely fell in love with the culture and the language, so I was inspired to learn the language
and also to move here. And here I am now, living in Sicily.
37．When you get back home you'll have lots of stories to tell your friends and family. Even if
something isn't very fun, it will be funny to look back and laugh at those awkward or harsh
moments. For example, I was travelling with a group of friends in Pisa and we took the wrong bus to
get to the beach area, so we ended up being stuck in the rain and having to walk back.
When you travel, you expose yourself to different people.38．It's a great learning experience for
both you and the other person because you can share and exchange your own ideas and opinions on a
range of topics. For example, I met an Iranian philosopher and we talked about the nature of magic.
A lot of his ideas were shaped by his Iranian background and Iranian philosophy.39．
Travelling is the realization of home.40．Since I've been away from London ， I've come to appreciate the little things that I used to take for granted, like our amazing transport- everything runs
on time; everything runs well. So sometimes it takes being away from home to realize how much
you absolutely love your hometown.
A．It was a really interesting discussion.
B．Travelling will make you a really good storyteller.
C．Travelling could enrich your awareness of the world.'
D．They may have a completely different outlook on life.
E. We realize how much we miss our hometown when we travel.
F. Travelling might just convince you to move to another country.
G. Being away from home, we miss our friends and our family very much.

Dear Mr. Smith,
How are you doing? I’m Li Hua, one of your Chinese students. As is scheduled, our school’s
English club will hold its annual speech contest next Friday. I’m writing to see if you can do me a
favor by giving some advice on how I should improve my speech.
The theme of the contest is “Living my Chinese dream as a student”. Although I have finished a
draft of my speech, I am not satisfied with it. So I am sending the draft to you in this e-mail,
expecting your expert advice as a teacher and native English speaker.
I’ll be grateful if you could help. Looking forward to your reply.
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua
