The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who look up every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English. The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check this in a dictionary. 56. The writer thinks that . A. choose a good dictionary, and you’ll be successful in learning English B. dictionaries are not necessary to the students who learn English C. it is very important for students to use good dictionaries properly D. using dictionaries very often can’t help to improve writing 57. According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG? A. Dictionaries have little effect on learning to speak English. B. Whatever new words you meet while reading, never use dictionaries. C. Small two-language dictionaries have serious shortcomings. D. Reading something for the first time, you’d better not use dictionaries. 58. When in the reading does the writer advise students to use a good dictionary? A. At the beginning of the reading B. At the end of the reading C. During the first reading D. After the first reading 59. This passage mainly tells us . A. that students shouldn’t use small two-language dictionaries B. what were the shortcomings of small two-language dictionaries C. why students should use large college edition dictionaries D. what dictionary students should choose and how to use it 60. Which is NOT mentioned in this passage? A. How to make good use of a dictionary. B. When to use a dictionary. C. How to improve spoken English. D. How to practice reading fast. B Today, roller skating is easy and fun. But many years ago, it wasn’t easy at all. Before 1750, people never tried skating on wheels. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin’s work was making instruments. In his free time he liked to play the violin. Merlin was a man with many ideas and many dreams. People called him a dreamer. One day Merlin received an invitation to go to an important party. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think. He wanted to find a way to make a wonderful entrance at the party. Merlin had an idea. He thought that he would attract a lot of attention if he could skate into the room. Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skate shoes. Merlin was very proud of them. He dreamed of arriving at the party and skating into the room while playing the violin. He was sure that everyone would be very surprised. On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room, playing his violin. Everyone was really surprised to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skating. He rolled on, playing the violin. Then, with all eyes on him, Merlin hit into a huge mirror on the wall. The mirror broke into many pieces with a very loud noise. Nobody forgot Merlin’s wonderful entrance after that. 61. The story tells us that people began to enjoy roller-skating _______. . A. before the year 1750 B. before the invitation C. after Joseph Merlin’s entrance to the party D. because it was dangerous 62. People called Merlin a dreamer because ___________. . A. he slept and dreamed a lot B. he was full of different ideas C. he invented the first roller skates D. he always made people’s dreams come true 63. ___________ made Merlin think of skating on wheels. A. Merlin’s work B. Merlin’s violin C. A huge mirror D. An important party 64. What was Merlin’s problem after he rolled into the room? A. He couldn’t stop his roller-skating. B. He couldn’t attract a lot of attention. C. Everyone was surprised at him. D. He couldn’t play the violin while rolling. 65. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Joseph Merlin’s Story B. How Roller Skating Was Invented C. A Surprising Entrance to the Party D. Roller Skating C The Red Cross is an international organization which cares for people who are in need of help. A man in a Paris hospital who needs blood, a woman in Mexico who was injured in an earthquake, and a family in India that lost their home in a storm may all be aided by the Red Cross. The Red Cross exists in almost every country around the globe. The world Red Cross organizations are sometimes called the Red Crescent, the Red Mogen David, the Sun, and the Red Lion. All of these agencies (机构) share a common goal of trying to help people in need. The idea of forming an organization to help the sick and wounded during a war started with Jean Henri Dunant. In 1859, he observed how people were suffering on a battlefield in Italy. He wanted to help all the wounded people regardless of which side they were fighting for. The most important result of this work was an international treaty called the Geneva Convention (协定). It protects prisoners of war, the sick and wounded, and other citizens during a war. The American Red Cross was set up by Clara Barton in 1881. Today the Red Cross in the United States provides (提供) a number of services for the public, such as helping people in need, teaching first aid and providing blood. 66. A good title for this passage is ______. A. People in Need of Help B. Safety and Protection C. The International Red Cross D. Forming an Organization to Help People 67. The word "aided" in the first paragraph means ______. A. needed B. helped C. caught D. protected 68. The author really tries to make the reader see that the Red Cross ______. A. costs very little money B. works in many nations C. teaches first aid if necessary D. has many names 69. We may draw a conclusion that ______ during a war. A. the Red Cross only protects the wounded B. the Red Cross only helps prisoners of war C. the Red Cross only helps citizens D. the Red Cross helps all those in need no matter which side they are fighting for 70. The person who started the idea of this organization was ______. A. Cross B. Dunant C. Barton D. Mogen David D That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me. As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets. About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk. Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found. Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck(垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape. It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other. 71. How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work? A. Cold and sick B. Lucky and hopeful C. Satisfied and cheerful D. Disappointed and helpless 72. From the first paragraph, we learn that the writer was busy_____. A. solving her problem at the bank B. taking part in various city activities C. learning acting in an evening school D. preparing for the first night show 73. On her way home the writer_____. A. lost her wallet unknowingly B. was stopped by a garbage truck driver C. was robbed of her wallet by a man with a knife D. found some homeless people following her 74. In the fifth paragraph, why did the writer say she was dreaming? A. Someone offered to take her back home. B. A red-haired man came to see her. C. She heard someone call her name. D. Her wallet was found in a garbage truck. 75. From the text, we can infer that the writer_____. A. would stop working at night B. would stay on in San Francisco C. would make friends with cleaners. D. would give up her job at the bank 第二卷(65 分) IV. 单词拼写（共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 15 分） 1. His friend has s____________ from ill health for some years. 2.

Remember me? How are you now? I need your help because I find I’m not very used to the high middle school life. We have nine subjects in all. Every day I have to spend at least three to four hours doing my homework, so there is little time left for activities after class. I hardly have any time to do what I want to. Besides, I sometimes feel sleepy in class because I don’t have enough sleep. The great pressure of exams and the high expectations from my parents often make me even more tired. The biggest problem I meet now is my maths study, which is much more difficult than that in junior middle school. I don’t know how to improve it. So I hope I could get some advice from you. All the best. Yours truly, Li Hua
