    To the Editor,
    I have been reading your newspaper, the Hometown Gazette, for the past two years, ever since I moved to Smithville. We moved here from New York City, so I am accustomed(习惯的) to reading excellent newspapers such as The New York Times . In fact, we still have the Times delivered on Sundays. The entire family enjoys reading the recipes（食谱） in the magazine, as well as the Styles section.
    The Times is great, but the Gazette is another story. I’ve never read an article that doesn’t contain at least three or four spelling or grammatical errors. For instance, in last week’s issue you misspelled the word “secretary”, used a singular verb with a plural noun, and used “it’s” as a possessive (所有格). And that was just in the lead story! In case you never went to elementary school, “it’s” means “it is ”.It’s also a possessive adjective!
    It’s a pity that this tiny little hick(乡下) town has only one newspaper, because I’d like to have an alternative(替换物) to the rag you publish. I find it hard to believe your news stories. If you can’t spell correctly. How can you get your facts right?
    I’ve been meaning to get this off my chest for some time. Please cancel my subscription(订阅). And buy yourself a dictionary.
    Sincerely,
    Jane Z, Jones

    小题2:The author’s tone in this passage can best be described as                 
    A．happyB．angryC．sympathetic(同情的)D．objective
    小题3:Which statement of the following is not true according to the passage?
    A．The writer once lived in New York City, so he was used to reading the Times.
    B．The entire family enjoys reading the Styles section in the mafazine.

    Growing up the daughter of an outstanding educator, Andrea Peterson knew at a young age that she wanted to serve others. It was with this mindset that she started to pursue a degree in medicine. However ,while visiting her brothers who were away at college studying music education, she realized that she too was drawn to teach music.
    In her ten years at Granite Falls, she has revitalized the music programs at both the elementary and high school levels,to the extent that an additional music faculty member was hired by the district to assist with the workload. The growth of the music program in Granite Falls School District has encouraged students to participate in county ,state ,and national music competitions ,and won numerous prizes for the district.
    Teaching music is only part of Peterson's instruction－it serves as a vehicle to other areas .
    "Music is an amazing tool to unlock students' potential. The most visible benefit from their success in music is their increased confidence and self-esteem," Peterson said. "However, I don't believe it is the only benefit, nor the most powerful. It is truly exciting to see how my music teaching can transfer back to other classrooms." With this philosophy, Peterson introduced a cross-curriculum program ,wherein she takes lessons taught in other classes, such as English and math ,and expands upon them in an eight-week unit.
    One of the most popular projects in Peterson's classes in the creation and performance of a musical, whereby students create a play from one of the books they have read in another class. Students work together to choose the music that best fits with the overall feel of the play and then perform it for the greater community. "Through Andrea's efforts these kids have helped to put Granite Falls, Washington, on the map for musical talents. Parents, staff ,and community members continue to be in awe of what she is able to bring forth from the children," said Debra Rose Howell, a colleague of Peterson's at Monte Cristo Elementary School.
    69.Initially Andrea Peterson Planned to work as a (n)______.
    A.teacher B.doctor  C.educator      D.musician
    70.The 2nd paragraph mainly tells about______.
    A.Andrea Peterson's life at Granite Falls
    B.county ,state ,and national music competitions 
    C.the growth of the music program in Granite Falls School District
    D.Andrea Peterson's contributions to Granite Falls' music programs
    71.Which of the following is NOT a benefit the students get from Andrea Peterson's class?
    A.music talent development   B.increased self-confidence
    C.ability in learning other subjects       D.prizes for English and maths
    72.The following sentences tell what the students have to do about their musical project. Which is the right order of the events?
    a. They choose proper music for their play
    b. They adapt the story into a play.
    c. They put on the play for the whole school or the whole community.
    d. They practise performing the play.
    e. They choose a story they have read in another class.
    A.e→b→a→d→c   B.e→b→c→a→d   C.a→e→b→d→c   D.a→b→e→d→c
    73.What is most special about the way Andrea Peterson teaches?
    A.She has a special way of teaching music.
    B.She makes her classes lively and interesting.
    C.She combines her music class with other subjects.
    D.She comes from a family of professional educators.

    One of the founding fathers of the internet has predicted the end of traditional television. Vint Serf, who helped to build the internet while working as a researcher in America, said that television was approaching its “iPod moment.”
    In the same way that people now download their favorite music onto their iPods, he said that viewers would soon be downloading most of their favorite programmers onto their computers. “85 percent of all video we watch is pre-recorded, so you can set your system to download it at any time,”said Mr. Cerf, who is now the vice-president of Goggle.
    “You’re still going to need live television for certain things--like news, sporting events and emergencies--but increasingly it will be almost like iPod, where you download content to look at later.”
    Although television-on-demand has not yet become a main activity in the UK, the BBC, 1TV and Channel 4 have all invested a lot of money in technology which Mr. Cerf think will enable viewers to watch their favorite shows on their computers.
    However, some critics(批评家)have warned that the Internet will collapse(崩溃)if millions of people try to download programmers at the same time.
    Over the next four years, scientists think the number of videos watched over the Internet will double, with people moving from short chips to hour-long programmes.
    Broadband companies claim that the service will cause“traffic jams”,which will cost millions of pounds to solve. Mr. Cerf dismissed these warnings, saying that critics had predicted 20 years ago that the net would collapse when people all around the world started to use it at the same time, “We’re far from exhausting (用尽)the capacity,” he said.“I want every one of the six billion people in the planet to be able to connect to the Internet.”
    61.Vint Cerf is all the following EXCEPT that ___________.
    A. a researcher in the United States
    B. the vice-president of Goggle
    C. one of the founders of the Internet
    D. a manager of a broadband company
    62. Which of the following is NOT something Vint Cerf has predicted?
    A. Traditional television will soon have its iPod moment.
    B. The number of videos watched over the Internet will double.
    C. Viewers will be able to download TV programmers onto their iPods.
    D. Viewers will be able to watch their favorite TV shows on the Internet.
    63. According to the passage, people can always do all the following EXCEPT ____________.
    A. watch short clips over the Internet
    B. download live TV over the Internet
    C. download per-recorded videos over the Internet
    D. listen to their favorite music on their computers
    64. Some critics are now predicting __________.
    A. the Internet will collapse if millions of people use it at the same time
    B. people all over the world will be able to connect to the Internet
    C. the Internet will crash if  too many people download TV programmes at the same time
    D. the videos people watch over the Internet
    65. This passage mainly tells us __________.
    A. a Goggle expert is predicting the end of traditional television
    B. the Internet will never be used to download people's favourite shows
    C. the Internet will become more popular
    D. something about Vint Cerf

    I recently bought a house and moved in the first weekend of July.
    Since I have been in my new neighborhood, I have had the pleasure of meeting a few of my neighbors who seem to be extremely nice people. For Christmas, I thought I would do something nice for each of the neighbors that I know. I sat down and counted. There were nine neighbors but I decided to add one more person to my list for a total of ten. This lady that I decided to add lives down the street from me. I meet her every morning walking to work as I drive down the street. She always manages a sweet smile and a hearty wave. I had no idea what her name was and was not even sure which house she lived in.
    My gift idea was to make small fruit baskets and leave them on each of my neighbors’ front porches or door-steps the night of Christmas Eve for them to find, either that night or the next morning. I signed the cards—“Happy Holidays from 5104 Northumberland Road.”
    My neighbors really appreciated the baskets and would tell me as they saw me in the yard or they would call, and a couple even came by to thank me.
    This morning on my way to work, I placed my mail in the mailbox and noticed a small note inside. It was addressed simply “Resident,5104 Northumberland Road.”
    I opened the envelope and took out a Thank You card. I opened the card and read the message which really caught me by surprise.
    The card said：“Thank you for the lovely fruit basket you left on the porch of Richard Kelly. It was very thoughtful. Richard Kelly passed away less than a month ago. He never stopped talking about how nice it was that someone remembered him in his time of illness. He really appreciated it.”
    I was sincerely moved. I had no idea who Richard Kelly was or that he had been seriously ill. I had left that nice lady’s basket on Mr. Kelly’s porch by accident.
    65. Which of the following statements can be supported by the passage?
    A. What a pity it was that the lady didn’t receive her gift!
    B. A mistake made by chance caused an excellent result.
    C. Richard Kelly was so lucky to receive the gift.
    D.A careless man made a careless mistake.
    66.The reason why the writer wanted to send gifts was that        .
    A. he intended to show his friendship to his new neighbors
    B. he wanted to gain respect from his new neighbors
    C. he intended to express his love to his neighbors
    D. he planned to make friends with his new neighbors
    67.Who knew the truth of the gift to Richard Kelly according to the passage?
    A. The young lady.          B. Richard Kelly.
    C. The writer.              D. The writer of the Thank You card.
    68.It can be inferred from the passage that the writer was     .
    A. moved and pitiful         B. moved and excited
    C. interesting and funny      D. shocked and sorry

    A student and his teacher were walking through the forest. The student was disturbed(扰乱) by the fact that his mind was in constant unrest（不安）. He asked his teacher, “Why most people’s minds are restless, and only a few have a calm mind? What can one do to still the mind ?”
    The teacher looked at him, smiled and said, “I will tell you a story. An elephant was standing and picking leaves from a tree. A small fly came, flying and buzzing near his ear. The elephant waved it away with his long ears. Then the fly came again, and the elephant waved it away denovo”. This was repeated several times. Then the elephant asked the fly, “Why are you so restless and noisy? Why can't you stay for a while in one place?" The fly answered, "I am attracted to whatever I see, hear or smell. My five senses pull me constantly in all directions and I cannot resist them. What is your secret? How can you stay so calm and still?" The elephant stopped eating and said, “My five senses do not rule my attention. Whatever I do, I get immersed(沉湎于) in it. Now that I am eating, I am completely immersed in eating. In this way I can enjoy my food and chew（咀嚼）it better. I rule and control my attention, and not the other way around."
    The student's eyes opened wide and smile rose on his face. "I understand! If my five senses are in control of my mind and attention, then my mind is in constant unrest. If I am in charge of my five senses and attention, then my mind becomes calm".
    "Yes, that's right", answered the teacher, "The mind is restless and goes wherever the attention is. Control your attention, and you control your mind".

    After winning a big game, athletes are often asked how they attained that success. Most say their achievement is the result of grueling hard work and intense practice. Usually athletes say how hard it is to win the big games. At the opposite end of the spectrum, however, is the fact that losing the big game, or, in my case, all the games, can be even tougher.
    From the spectators' point of view, last year's basketball season for my high school team was nothing short of an embarrassment. And while 0 and 20 is certainly nothing to be proud of, that season had a bigger impact on me than any other, and probably more than any season since.
    As a team captain, I knew it probably wouldn't be the easiest year, but did I ever think we would lose every game? Of course not. Since six of our top players had graduated, it was clear that we were a young team who would struggle. The struggle began earlier than expected, though, as our team's starting center was suspended for the season, and two key members decided to quit after two weeks. At some point, quitting probably passed through every player's mind, but, in the end, we all stuck it out, vowing to work even harder.
    Then there came a time when even our own coach had given up on us. Personally, I felt like it was no longer worth giving my all. I thought, if even the coach doesn't believe in us, why should I? But just as my hope began to fade, a teammate called a meeting. He said, "Nobody thinks we're going to win, and heck, we may not, but, as teammates and friends, we owe it to each other to give it our all every game."
    Sure, it was a little cliché(陈旧的), but it was that moment that taught me how to be a leader. It hit me then that I may have been a captain, but I, like others in my position, certainly didn't deserve the role. As a leader you can never quit on the team who looks up to you. It is one thing to be named captain and feel great and go through the motions, but it is quite another to be a real captain and make sure everyone works to their potential all the time.
    I am sure it is great to go through high school without losing and bringing home awards. But in all honesty, I relish the fact that my team lost every game last year. It may not help me to become a better basketball player, but it already has made me a better leader, and person.
    77.What was the biggest problem with the author's team last season?
    A. Several key members were unable to play the games.
    B. Their coach no longer wanted to instruct them.
    C. There were no actual leaders on the team.
    D. Most of players lost hope and wanted to quit.
    78.In the text, the author seems to suggest that a good leader should _______.
    A. be confident about himself       
    B. make sure everyone goes all out
    C. work hard to win the games      
    D. feel great about his team
    79.By saying "we owe it to each other to give it our all every game." (Paragraph 4) the teammate means that all of them should ________.
    A. be responsible for the losses      
    B. try their best on the court
    C. feel thankful for what they've done
    D. get together to win every game
    80.What is the main idea the author aims to express in the text?
    A. Success is the result of hard work.
    B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    C. One can learn something from the failure.
    D. A real leader should never give up.
