Today, there are so many foreign teachers in China. You can see them teach English in many schools ----- from primary schools to colleges. Because of them, English classes have more fun and many students get better grades in English. What do the students thinks of their foreign language teachers?

Liu Yang, 14, from Beijing     Mr. Brown is funny man from London. He often tells jokes, so we never get bored in his class. This year we spent Thanksgiving Day together in his apartment. He made a big turkey dinner for us. Oh, he is not a bad cook!

Zhang Ping, 14, from Shanghai     Ms. Park is popular although she is very strict with us in class. After class, she is a good friend we all trust. She can understand us so much that we all like to share our problems with her.

Heng Wen, 15, from Henan     Grace is very young but has rich experience. “It’ is a terrible thing for teenagers to dream nothing,” she says, “but you are too young to decide what to be in the future. Have more experience, and then you will know what you really want to be!” for me, nothing is better than being a teacher like Grace.

B

In a big earthquake, many houses fell down. Lots of people lost their homes. Almost all the newspapers reported it. When I read a newspaper, a special picture touched me. It showed the clothes sizes of everyone in a family. I knew there were two children in this family. They might be the same age as my children. I thought it was a good time to teach my children to give others a hand. I said to my seven-year-old son, Brad, and his little sister Jenny. “We have so much, but these poor people now have nothing. We’ll share our things with them.”

I filled a box with food and clothes. When I did this, I told the boy to donate some of his less favorite things. Jenny watched him quietly as he took out his old toys and games. Then she walked away. A few minutes later she came back with “Lucy”, her favorite, and put it on the top of the other toys. “Oh, dear,” I said, “You don’t have to give away “Lucy”. You love her so much.” Jenny said, “Lucy makes me happy, Mom. Maybe she’ll make another little girl happy, too.”

I looked at Jenny for a long time. She gave me a lesson. It’s easy to give away something that we don’t want, but hard to give away our favorite, isn’t it?

(   ) 61. The writer wanted her children to learn to ________.

A. save lives after the earthquake

B. help other people

C. share toys with other kids

(   ) 62. The underline word “donate” probably means ________.

A. 捐赠

B. 丢弃

C. 放置

(   ) 63. Lucy is the name of ________.

A. another daughter

B. Jenny’s favorite toy

C. a happy girl

(   ) 64. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Brad put his less favorite clothes in the box.

B. Jenny walked away because she didn’t want to take out her toys

C. From the clothes sizes, the writer knew there were two children in that family.

(   ) 65. What’s the best title of this passage?

A. Love from Sharing Favorites

B. A Family Story

C. A Terrible Earthquake

解析：文章大意是地震过后许多房屋和家庭受损，Brad和 Jenny的妈妈看到报纸报道后，动员两个孩子给受灾的孩子们捐赠礼物，由孩子们的表现而得到的一些感慨。 61．B． 从文章第一段第四行原句“I thought it was a good time to teach my children to give others a hand.”中可以得出，作者希望自己的孩子学会帮助别人。give others a hand = help others. 62. A 63. B从文章第二段第三行“she came back with “Lucy”, her favorite, and put it on the top of the other toys.”可以看出Lucy是Jenny最喜欢的玩具的名字。 64. C 排除法 A、B选项均不符合原文事实。对于A选项，原文原句为“Jenny watched him quietly as he took out his old toys and games”由此可知Brad拿出来的是玩具和游戏，并非衣服。 65. A 根据短文最后一段得出最佳题目。

C

What will our life be like in the future? Here are some of the scientists’ predictions.

Smart Computers

In the future, computers will be smaller and in different shapes. It’s possible for you to vary them everywhere. And they can be used in more ways. For example, you can control the TV, the shower, even the car. If so, life will be easier!

Space Elevators（电梯）

Will people reach the moon or other planets like astronauts? If so, will we get there without a space ship or a rocket? This kind of trip might become possible one day. Scientists are trying to build a space elevator to take people there. The space trip might take about a week.

Self-driving cars

In the future, it will be easier to get to a place. Just telling the computer where you want to go is enough. You don’t need to worry that it will break the rules of the road. You can even read a book when the car drives itself, because it won’t be dangerous.

66. What will smart computers look like in the future?

_______________________________________________________________________________

67. Where can people reach by space elevator?

_______________________________________________________________________________

68. How long will a space trip take?

_______________________________________________________________________________

69. Will a self-driving car break the rules of the road?

_______________________________________________________________________________

70. Why can you read in a self-driving car?

74. If you make a ___________, you must take it seriously.

75.  --- Sally, you eat too much chocolate!

--- Yeah, maybe I should ____________ healthy eating habits.

解析： 71. clearly。本题考查副词的用法。此处为副词修饰前面的动词speak。 72. Few。由because it doesn’t have good service 可知几乎没有人喜欢这家餐馆。 73. successful。本题考查形容词用法。由He showed his talent in singing at a young age可知。此处successful修饰singer。 74. promise。此处考查动词短语make a promise做承诺。 75. choose。此处考查动词词意。意为或许我应该选择健康的生活方式。

B．根据短语内容，用方框中所给的词的正确形式填空，使短文通顺、连贯。每个单词只能使用一次。

little   pollute   during   unless   become

“APEC blue” is a popular word this winter. People use it to describe the blue sky 76.___________ the APEC meetings. To make the air cleaner, people did a lot.

Hope we can see AEC。

解析： 76. during。 此处考查介词during，意为在…期间。 77. pollution。此处考查词性转化，动词变名词，动词pollute变为名词pollution。 78. unless。此处考查条件状语从句的连词unless，意为“除非，如果不”。 79. less。此处考查形容词比较级，由前面walk more可知，此处应填little的比较级less。 80. will become。此处考查if引导的条件状语从句的时态，主语应为一般将来时，因此填will become。
