Recently, I experienced a wonderful lesson in how little things still mean a lot. My
brother, mother and I live in Hawaii. Our farm is at least a dozen miles from even the
most basic of services. Therefore, I take weekly trips to the shop to get supplies. About
a month ago, I finished loading up the car and was about to leave, when a piece of paper
on the ground caught my eye. I picked it up and read it carefully.
It was a receipt from the State Motor Vehicle Division, recording the owners
payment of her Vehicles Registration fees. At first I thought that I could find the owner.
So I waited there for about an hour. Although the receipt had been borne on the wind,
where in the busy, crowded parking lot would I find the owner? I looked over the
receipt for contact or any personal data, perhaps a license tag (牌照) or telephone
number. I checked the date, the fees paid, noted the name of the owner and pocketed the
paper. I concluded that the best and easiest step to take was to put the receipt in an
envelope and send it to the owner first the next morning.
By the end of the week, I received a beautiful "thank you " letter from a woman
containing a handwritten message and a card. In the letter, the woman explained how
the wind snatched (夺去) her receipt from a pocket in her car’s passenger door. She had
searched everywhere for quite some time before giving up.It felt great to know I had helped someone avoid a loss by doing something that at
first glance(一瞥) seemed little and unimportant.
26. What can be the best title for the text?
A.A Lesson I Will Never Forget B. Never Lose Heart or Give up
C. Little Things Still Mean a Lot D. Think Carefully Before You Act
27. What can we learn about the author?
A. He lives downtown in Hawaii.
B. He goes to the shop to get supplies once a week on foot.
C. He is too poor to have basic supplies for his family.
D. He is patient and willing to help others.
28. The underlined word "it"in paragraph 2 most probably refers to_______.
A. the receipt B the license tag C. the telephone number D. the personal data
29. How did the woman feel when receiving the author's envelope?
A Proud B. Disappointed C. Appreciated D. Angry.
30. How did the woman lose her receipt?
A. She forgot where she had put it. B. A strong wind blew it away.
C. A thief took it away. D. She left it in the parking lot
C
In the United States, a company is working on a project that could change the way
we think about public transportation. Its planned system would move people around in
steel tubes. Those passengers would be traveling at speeds of up to 1, 200 kilometers
per hour.
The futuristic transportation system is called Hyperloop. Workers plan to test the
system next year in a specially built community called Quay Valley. The town will be
powered entirely by energy from the sun.
The Hyperloop transport system is the idea of businessman Elon Musk. Dirk
Ahlborn is head of Hyperloop Transportation Technologies. He says his company has
taken Mr Musk's idea and is developing a system that will be safe, environmentally
friendly and fast." It's 100 percent solar-powered...we’re not going to get up to 760 miles per hour,
but we believe we can actually break the records that are existing right now.”
This means that a four-hour drive from Los Angeles, California to Las Vegas,
Nevada, could someday take only 30 minutes by Hyperloop.
The system involves a series of capsules (密封舱) that float inside a long tube.
These containers wouldn’t need to travel along a pathway or track. The system has been
designed to operate above or below ground.
Inside the tube there is a low pressure environment very similar to an airplane
that’s high in the sky . So now the capsule travelling inside the tube doesn’t meet with
as much resistance(阻力), and therefore can travel really fast with very little energy.
Dick Ahlborn and his company will use an eight-kilometer track in Quay Valley to
find the best way to set up passenger traffic and repair capsules. A larger system will
cost an estimated(估算的) 6-10 billion dollars to build.
If Mr Ahlborn and his company succeed, we may one day see these very fast
Hyperloo capsules speeding through tubes around the world.
31. Quay Valley is said to be a special town because________.
A. it is very passenger-friendly.
B. it will be powered by solar energy
C. the public transportation system is well developed
D. the Hyperloop steel tubes will be produced there
32. We can learn from the text that the Hyperloop transport system________.
A. travels along a pathway or track B. mainly runs above ground
C. was developed by a businessman D.aims to operate environmentally
friendly
33. Why can the Hyperloop capsules travel fast?
A. They are solar-powered.
B. They travel high in the sky.
C. There is little resistance inside the tube.
D. There is a powerful engine to drive them.
34. What is the author’s attitude towards the Hyperloop transport system?A. Objective B. Doubtful C. Supportive. D. Negative
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Steel Tubes B. A Creative Businessman
C. Hyperloop Transport System D.Quay Valley

选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，共 10 分）
Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the
grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are
speaking quite fluently. _ 36
First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most
difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important
thing is to listen as often as possible.
_37_ The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download
The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet
like a radio station. Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be
frustrated (受阻)by limited understanding. __38__
Here is some of the advice I give my students:
●Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
●Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for
more times.
● Do not translate everything into your native language.
● _39_ Don't concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas.
● Listen to something you enjoy.
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went
to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn't understand a word, I insisted on translating
it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion. 40 Firstly, translating
creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat
themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didn't pay much
attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.
A. But you can't follow a native English speaker at all!B. What should you do?
C. But listening is a problem for most of the beginners!
D. However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany.
E. So, what you need to do is to find listening resources.
F. Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.
G. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.

第一节：概要写作（满分 15 分）
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be
walking， cycling， or swimming ， or in winter， skating or skiing. It
may be a game of some forms－football， basketball， hockey， golf or tennis.
It may be mountaineering.
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no manmade rules，
as there are for such games as golf and football. There are ， of
course， rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore， but it is this freedom from manmade rules that makes mountaineering attractive
to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.
If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports as we might
think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”.
We should be mistaken in this. There are， it is true， no “matches”
between “teams” of climbers， but when climbers are on a rock face linked
by a rope on which their lives may depend ， there is obviously team
work.
The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are
stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature.
His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.
A mountain climber continues to improve his skills year by year. A skier is
probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty
to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men，
but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort， and they certainly
experience equal enjoyment.

Mountaineering is one of the physical activities attracting many young people(要点1). However， there're no manmade rules like those of others(要点 2). Though there
are no competitions between climbers， mountaineering is teamwork as climbers' lives
depend on the same rope(要点 3). Climbers must be mentally and physically healthy
because they must struggle against nature forces stronger and more powerful than them(要
点 4). With years going by， climbers' skills are improved so they can still enjoy
climbing high mountains even if they get older(要点 5).Period 4 Using Language
七．作文：Dear Joe,
How is everything going? I can understand your worry about how to get along with
new classmates. Take it easy. I’ll give you some advice.
First, I think you should communicate with your classmates as much as you can
even though it’s difficult for you to understand them. I believe that all the students are
friendly. Second, I suggest you take part in some after-class activities with your
classmates. It will help you find out more about your classmates and they can learn
more about you too. Then you may become friends.
I hope you get used to your new school life quickly and have a happy school year.
Yours
