So when the day came, every 3 brought some tomatoes. Some had two; some three while some up to five tomatoes. The teacher then told the children to 4 with them the tomatoes in the plastic 5 wherever they go.

第二节 语法填空(共10小题,每小题1.5分,共15分)
Learning English may be difficult for beginners. There are two 16 (base) stages to learn English. The first stage of learning this language would be very 17 (interest). Once you have a good command of the alphabets(字母), 18 (gradual) you can learn many words. It would always be better to follow the method of reading first, then writing. When you feel 19 you have understood the words, you can make sentences. This is the most amusing stage to learn. You just think of a sentence in your mother language, and try to set down the same sentence in English. There could be some mistakes, 20 you should not worry about it. You’d better write the same sentence by 21 (make) use of many different words till you are satisfied 22 your sentence. If you follow this way, very soon you can create sentences of your own.
23 second step is learning the grammar. Compared with 24 languages, English is quite simple and very systematic(系统化的). There are certain rules and regulations for each and every topic in grammar of this language. As long as you follow the rules and regulations, 25 would be a difficult task to make mistakes.

第一节:阅读下面文章后选出正确答案 (共20小题,40分)
A
Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception (接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.
The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth ----- so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds.” “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, it’s nothing.”
Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You’re right,” I said. “And what would you have done if you had walked in and said, ‘Would you mend this chair for me?’” “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver(五元钞)?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused (感到有趣) by the whole thing.

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.
One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.
Then, in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature.
Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.
31. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. People who like country things prefer to live outside the city.
B. People who work in London prefer to live in the country.
C. Because of certain disadvantages of living outside London, some people who work in London prefer to live inside London.
D. Because of certain advantages of living outside London, many people who work in London prefer to live outside London.
32. One can use the same money for ________ to buy a little house with a garden in the country.
A. getting a small flat with a garden B. having a small flat with a garden
C. renting a small flat without a garden D. buying a small flat without a garden
33. When the flowers and vegetables in the garden come up, those _______ have the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature.
A. who live in the country B. who have spent time working in the garden
C. who have a garden of their own D. who have been digging, planting and watering
34. People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that _______ if they had to live it outside London.
A. their life was meaningless B. their life was invaluable
C. they didn’t deserve a happy life D. they were not worthy of their happy life
35. The underlined word rest in the last paragraph refers to ________.
A. the rest time B. the rest people
C. the rest of the country D. the rest of the parks and of the sea
C
Not all vegetables need lots of sunshine. Mark Hoffman and his wife own a bed-and-breakfast guesthouse in rural Kempton, Illinois. They often serve their guests fresh products from the garden.
The Hoffmans have been growing food and flowers for twenty-five years. For almost ten of those years, Mr. Hoffman has been experimenting and working with shade (阴凉) plantings. He says, “The bottom line here is that most plants will produce more in full sun. But if you do not have full sun, there are other choices.”
For example, he grows tomatoes near oak trees. Oak trees can produce a lot of shade. But Mr. Hoffman says his tomato plants grow as long as they get five hours’ direct sunshine a day, especially morning sun. Not only does this go against the traditional advice that tomatoes need six, eight, even twelve hours’ full sun a day. It also shows how plants and tree roots can share nutrients and water.
Mr. Hoffman says plants with wider leaves seem to do better in shady environments. He also found that his potatoes did better partly in shade than in full sun.
Moving them out of the sun helped control an insect problem. Mr. Hoffman does not use pesticide (农药). Instead, he planted the potatoes in the shade, especially on the east side of the tree. The potatoes get morning sun, but they are shaded during the hottest part of the day. Some insects dislike shade, and the hottest part day is when they do the worst of their damage.
Time of day, sun intensity (强度), shadows from trees, walls and buildings all influence how much sunlight falls on plants. And people interested in shade planting should also remember something else. The term “shade” can describe different amounts of darkness. It can even mean different things in different parts of the world.
36. How many hours of sunshine are enough to keep tomato plants growing in Hoffman’s garden?
A. five hours a day B. Six hours a day
C. Eight hours a day D. Twelve hours a day
37. From the passage we can know that ______ .
A. plants with wider leaves produce more in full sun.
B. as a matter of fact, plants don’t need to grow in full sun.
C. the more sunshine plants get, the more they will produce
D. plants with wider leaves grow better in shadows
38. All of the following can influence how much sunlight falls on plants EXCEPT ______.
A. length of day time B. brightness of the sun
C. changes of the season D. shadows
39. Which of the following can best describe Mr. Hoffman?
A. Curious B. Experienced C. Easy-going D. Funny
40. We may read the passage on a website in the section of ______.
A. environment B. travelling C. agriculture D. lifestyle
D

friends,
I would like to share my opinions on English learning with you here. It is known that learning English well is of great help in our modern society. However, quite a few students have so much trouble in learning English that they gradually lose heart in the language and some even have given it up. In my opinion, we students should make good use of every morning and evening, reading English words and texts as loudly as possible. Besides, it’s necessary for us to recite useful sentences or famous passages. Last but not least, we had better read more English books, newspapers and magazines after class because the more we read, the better our English will be.
I hope you will find my advice useful. That’s all. Thank you!
