It was the first day of Grade Two.
In the back of the classroom was a face that was not familiar. There sat a boy with dark hair and glasses. Sam had never seen him before.
Mr. Dave called the students by their names. The students put up their hands when their names were called. “Li Ming?” said Mr. Dave. The boy in the back raised his hand.
Li Ming was from China. His family had moved to the United States during the summer. He seemed quiet and shy.
Sam tried to talk to Li Ming, but he did not answer. He only smiled. Finally, Sam understood why. Both the country and the language were new to him.
That night Sam asked his mother for help. Together they looked up some Chinese words on the Internet. Mom helped Sam pronounce the words again and again so that he could learn to say them correctly.
The next morning, Sam went to talk to Li Ming. Then he stopped. He was afraid he would sound foolish. “This must be how Li Ming feels,” he thought.
“Hello,” he said, using the Chinese words he had learned. “I am your friend.”
Li Ming looked surprised. He answered Sam in Chinese. Sam had no idea what Li Ming was saying.
“My English is not too good yet,” explained Li Ming.
“Neither is my Chinese,” said Sam.
“I will teach you,” offered Li Ming.
“And I will teach you,” said Sam.
Sam pulled a ball out of his backpack. “Want to play catch?” he asked.
Li Ming smiled. Sometimes words are not even necessary.
50. Which picture shows the beginning of this story?
51. Li Ming smiled when Sam talked to him for the first time because ________.
A. he didn’t know anyone B. he didn’t understand Sam well
C. he was a kind boy D. he was not listening to Sam
52. Sam asked his mother for help to _____________.
A. talk to Li Ming B. know about Li Ming C. travel in China D. learn about China
53. What will most likely happen to Sam and Li Ming at the end of this story?

C. They will play a ball game together. D. They will study English together

From preschool to high school we have been told to “be yourself” or” be who you are”. But what do those saying even mean? Does it mean to say exactly what you are thinking, not to learn from someone else? Could it mean to act only according to your nature and not let anything else influence you?
I’ll be honest that I don’t believe in “being yourself”. I believe in becoming a better person.
Before you make a decision to come after me, let me make it clear. I am not saying that we should try to become the person like our favorite pop star or sports athlete. What I am saying is that we should all be trying to become a better person, and there is nothing wrong with using a role model(楷模) to achieve this.
I know that I am not perfect. I have my faults(过错), just like anyone else, but doesn’t it make us better to try to fix them? Let me give some examples. If your grades are getting worse because you’re getting a little lazy, you should try to become a little more hard-working. Or, if you find yourself accidentally hurting someone’s feelings because of what you said, you might want to be a little more careful of what you say. No one is perfect, but if doesn’t mean we can’t strive for perfection.
I also don’t see the problem with modeling some of your life after someone else. I still have my role models, whom I try to learn from, and I wouldn’t be the same if I didn’t model a bit of my life after them. For example, I have always admired the ideas of Mahatma Gandhi in India; I have even taken some of his lessons to heart such as “An eye for an eye makes the world go blind.”
In my mind, the present happens too fast for us to “be who we are”. By the time we have even found out who we are, that person is really only who we have been. I believe that people show themselves by who they are trying to become, not by who they are or who they have been.
54. The writer thinks that using a role model to achieve a dream is ____ .
A. difficult B. creative C. helpful D. easy
55. What does the underlined phrase strive for mean?
A. look for B. care for C. wait for D. fight for
56. According to (根据) the passage, the writer agrees that _______.
A. we should be famous like our favorite pop star
B. we should show others who we are trying to be
C. it’s necessary to make our life the same as others
D. it’s important to find out more faults about ourselves
57. Which is the best title for this passage?
A. Be a Better Person B. Be Who You Are
C. Learn from Others D. Live a Better Life

Joe is an American teenager who loves to dance. He knows all popular dance steps(舞步). The minute the music starts, this thin but handsome nineteen-year old, dances with it at once. Nothing is special about this except for one little fact. Joe cannot hear a note music that he dances to.
Still, when music starts, something physical happens to him; he can feel a change of the air. It is this “something” that makes him such a good dancer that he will take part in a dance competition late September, in Washington.
When Joe was a baby, he had a serious illness, which took his hearing. When he was three, his family was so poor that he was sent to the Blacks. They believed that every child was special and always told Joe, “You will do everything that other kids do. Keep trying and nothing can hold you back.” So when Joe was a child, he began to study the movements of dancers on TV. Until one day he thought, “I could try this myself.” He started to dance like Michael Jackson. After a while, he didn’t need to look at the screen. From then on, he knew he had that “something”.
Joe is happy to have this chance to show his dancing skills to people. After the competition, he plans to go to college and major in dancing because he wants to become a professional dancer. Life is good, Joe feels. He hopes that he can stop people from seeing him as the dancing boy who cannot hear. He only wants to be known as the boy who can dance.
62. Can Joe hear a note of music that he dances to?
63. Where will Joe take part in a dance competition?
. Why does Joe plan to go to college?
65. What can we learn from Joe?

十、文段表达(共12 分)
Possible version 1:
Different people have different dreams. So do I.
I do want to be a teacher when I grow up because I am outgoing and I like kids very much.
I am also interested in reading and I like helping others. If I am a teacher, I will help my students learn more
knowledge and grow up happily. I hope I am not only their teacher, but also their good friend.
To achieve my dream, I am going to study hard first, then I am going to study in a university to learn education and
other subjects, such as English, geography and so on. Finally, I’m going to find a job as an English teacher.
I’m sure my dream will come true one day. I believe I can be an excellent teacher with my effort in the future.
(137)
Possible version 2:
Everyone keeps a dream. Some hope to be a doctor to relieve pain; others think about travelling around the world.
My dream is to be a lawyer, for I’m an outgoing girl who cares about right and wrong. I like debating on interesting
topics and have a sense of achievement if I persuade others.
To realize my dream, I’m going to study some relevant subjects really hard. Besides, I’m going to take selective
courses to get familiar with basic laws, reading more books on law as well. After that, I’m going to major in law at
college. Then, I will set up my own law firm to offer help to the poor in the future.
Although the dream cannot be touched, I indeed get stimulation from it. I do believe if the dream is big enough, the
facts don’t count. (140)

请听一段独白,完成第14 至第16 小题。
There are all kinds of pets for all kinds of kids: city kids, country kids, younger kids and older kids. But what would be
a good pet for you? Here is some advice.
First, you should talk it over with your parents. They can help you work out how much money you might need to
spend on your pet. Goldfish, for example, are cheap and easy to keep because you don’t have to give them special
food.
Then, you should know what kinds of animals you can keep as pets. It would be difficult to keep a horse in your room,
so you’d better not keep even small horses.
Another thing is how much time you will spend on your pet. Make sure you can spend a lot of time taking care of your
own pet.
Finally, remember that there are some animals you should never keep as pets. Take wild birds as an example.
These animals should not be brought to your home because they may make you sick. Even if you find them for sale
in a store, don’t buy them.
三、听对话,根据所听到的对话内容和提示词语,记录关键信息。对话读两遍。
