The police told the woman to stop her car. Our car came to a stop, too. I got out right now and said to the woman, “ It’s not your car. It’s my father’s.” The woman smiled and said, “You 47 be Mr Johnson’s younger son, right? I’ve ever seen your photo at the office.” Before I could say 48 word, the woman told us that she was my father’s new assistant. My father wanted her 49 his computer to the shop to have it repaired.

Scientists once thought that men are different from animals because they can think and learn. They know now that dogs, monkeys and birds can learn, too. They are beginning to understand that men are different from animals because they can speak. Animals can’t speak. They make noises when they are afraid, or angry or unhappy. Apes(类人猿) can understand something more quickly than men, one or two of them have learnt a few words. But they can’t join words to make sentences. They can’t think like us because they have no language. Language is a wonderful thing. Man has been able to build a modern world because he has language. Every child can speak his own language very well when he is four or five, but no animal learns to speak. How do children learn it? Scientists do not really know. What happens inside our body when we speak? They do not know. They only know that man can speak because he has a brain.‎ ‎( )51.

Smoking is bad for one’s health. And does your son drink wine?” “Oh, no,” the woman answered quickly, “He never drinks wine.” “Good!” the man said, “And does he come home late at night?” “No, never.” the woman answered, “He goes to bed after supper every night.” “Well,” the man said, “He is a good young man.

One half of the world is rich and the other is poor. In the ‎ poor part, a lot of people have never got enough to eat. 61 In the rich part, people eat very well, even a dog or a cat in North America eats better than a child in poorer countries. ‎ The poor countries have some difficult problems.

That’s a way you place your hope on. But it’s not realistic. The future is the things and people around you. What you should do is to try to do everything well, don’t care much about the results. Be kind to all the people around you, and love them. Although the world is not full of love, the life is not a bed of roses, you should hold on your dreams. When time passes, you’ll find everything you do is useful.‎ Time is precious because no way you can stop time from going by. How time flies! It’s just like the flowers in spring, the sunshine in summer, the moon in mid-autumn and the snow in winter. Maybe one morning you’ll never wake up. You’ll never see the sunrise or the sunset. You’ll never see your sweetheart or talk to her. You’ll never hear the sound of the nature. You’ll never swim in the lake or climb the mountains.‎ Time is gold. Every minute is valuable. We should make the best use of it. Don’t waste even one minute. Use your time to work, laugh, play games and love.‎ Each of us has a kite flying in the sky, and we also have a string(细绳) each. Children’s kite is childhood, and the string is grown. Lovers’ kite is love, and the string is daily life. I have a kite. It is called dream. The string in my hand is reality. The wind which makes kites fly is future. Kites are not free, but we still have power(能力) to control(控制) them and let them fly higher and higher. The string is in your hands. Future is now in your hands.‎ Future is now, forget the fortune-teller, clench your fists(握紧你的拳头吧)!‎ To make your fortune better, you should ‎66. ‎ and be kind to all the people around you.‎ From the passage we know that ‎ time is 67. and .‎ In the fourth paragraph, a kite means our 68. .‎ In the writer’s opinion, 69. ‎ can make our kites fly higher and higher This article tells us that ‎ our future is 70. ‎ 十、看图完成答语，一空一词。（共5小题，每小题1分， 计5分）‎ BY DANNY BOYLE Look at the movie poster(海报):‎ ‎71.

On the one hand, some people think it’s necessary for us to learn English well. First, if you want to pass the exams, go to college or find a good job, you are supposed to learn English well. Also, they think if you learn English well, you may communicate with foreigners better. Finally, English helps us open up our eyes to the outside world.‎ However, on the other hand, it’s really difficult for some students to learn English well and it takes much time to do so. In fact, we have other ways to help us with this problem, like the Internet. And more people around the world are learning Chinese, so it’s not necessary for us to learn English anymore.‎ In my opinion, it’s very important to learn English well because I want to study in America.(I like drawing. I don’t think it’s important for me if I want to be an artist.)‎ 各大题难度分析及得分估计 试题 基础题 稍难题 难题 估计班级平均得分（平行/衔接班）‎ 听力 ‎13‎ ‎2‎ ‎0‎ ‎13 /14‎ 单选 ‎6.5‎ ‎2.5‎ ‎1‎ ‎9 /9.5‎ 完型 ‎3‎ ‎5‎ ‎2‎ ‎8 /8.5‎ 阅读 ‎14‎ ‎3‎ ‎3‎ ‎16 /17‎ 看图 ‎2.5‎ ‎2.5‎ ‎0‎ ‎3.5 /4‎ 句意 ‎2‎ ‎3‎ ‎0‎ ‎3.5 /4‎ 翻译 ‎4.5‎ ‎2.5‎ ‎3‎ ‎7 /8‎ 对话 ‎6‎ ‎3‎ ‎1‎ ‎8 /8.5‎ 选词 ‎5‎ ‎3‎ ‎2‎ ‎8 /8.5‎ 作文 l ‎7.5 /8‎ 总计 ‎60.5‎ ‎27.5‎ ‎12‎ ‎83.5 /90‎ 听 力 材 料 I.‎‎ 听句子,选出与之相符的图片。每题念两遍。‎ ‎1.
