His wife was an able woman and did all the housework. When he came back, she took good care of him and he never did anything at home. So he had enough time when he had a holiday. A few friends of his liked gambling(赌博) and he learned it soon. So he was interested in it and forgot anything except gambling. He lost all his money and later he began to sell the television, watches and so on. His wife told him not to do it but he didn’t listen to her. She had to tell the police. He and his friends were punished for it. And he was hardly sent away. After he came out of lockup(拘留所), he hated her very much and the woman had to leave him.‎ It was New Year’s Day. Mr. Lang didn’t go to work. He felt lonely and wanted to gamble again. He called his friends and they came soon. But they were afraid the police would come. He told his five-year-old son to go to find out if there were ‎ the policemen outside. They waited for a long time and didn’t think the police would come and began to gamble. Suddenly opened the door and in came a few policemen.‎ ‎“I saw there weren’t any policemen outside, daddy,” said the boy, “so I went to the crossing and asked some to come.”‎ 21． Mr. Lang was paid much because _______. ‎ A. he was a driver B. he worked in a factory C. he had a lot of work to do D. he had worked there for a long time 22． Mrs. Lang did all housework because _______. ‎ A. she couldn’t find any work ‎ B. she thought her husband was tired C. her husband spent all time in gambling ‎ D. she wouldn’t stop her husband gambling 23． ‎_______, so he was put into lockup. ‎ A.

The answer is speaking. The other three you can do alone on your own. But you can’t really speak alone! Speaking to yourself can be “dangerous” because men in white coats may come and take you away!‎ ‎ Where can you find people to speak English? And how can you practice speaking when you are alone?‎ ‎ At School If you pay to go to a language school, you should use the chance to speak. If your teacher asks you to speak in pairs or groups with other students, try to speak as much as possible. Don’t worry about your mistakes. Just speak!‎ ‎ Conversation Clubs Many cities around the world have conversation clubs where ‎ people can exchange one language for another. Look in your local newspaper to find a conversation club near you. They are usually free although some may charge a small entrance fee.‎ ‎ Shopping Even if you don’t want to buy anything, you can ask questions about products that interest you in a shop. “How much does this cost?” “Can I pay by cheque(支票)?” Often you can start a real conversation —and it costs you nothing !‎ ‎ Café and Bars There are often American, British, Irish and Australian bars in many large cities. If you can find one, you’ll probably meet many people speaking English as a first or second language.‎ ‎ Language is all around you Everywhere you go you find language. Shop names, street names, advertisements, notices, and car numbers … When you walk down the street, practice reading the words and numbers that you see. Say them to yourself. It’s not exactly a conversation, but it will help you to “think” in English. But don’t speak too loud!‎ ‎ Songs and Video Repeat the words of an English-language song singing with the music until it becomes automatic（自动的）. It’s good practice for your memory and for the mouth muscles that you need for English.‎ ‎ Above all, speak as much as possible! Make as many mistakes as possible! When you know that you have made a mistake, you know you have made progress!‎ ‎25..What does “Odd-One-Out” probably mean according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. Someone or something standing out of the group.‎ ‎ B. Someone or something arranged in pairs.‎ ‎ C. Someone or something easily mistaken for another.‎ ‎ D. Someone or something appearing different from others.‎ ‎26.In which places can you learn English not free of charge(不是免费的）?‎ ‎ A. At school, and café and bars.‎ ‎ B. At school, in shops and café and bars.‎ ‎ C. In conversation clubs, shops, songs and video.‎ ‎ D. In conversation clubs and in the streets.‎ ‎27. Why does the writer say “Make as many mistakes as possible”? Because .‎ ‎ A. everyone will meet people speaking English with some mistakes ‎ B. making mistakes is a must in making progress in learning English ‎ C. making mistakes can make one realize the importance of speaking ‎ D. everyone will make mistakes in learning English ‎28. The purpose of this passage is to__________. .‎ ‎ A. tell us that you can speak English alone ‎ B. tell us that English is all around you ‎ ‎ C. give us some advice on how to practice speaking ‎ D. tell us speaking is the easiest of the four skills in learning English C Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗) ? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture. ‎ For example , some might say, "I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票) . It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars! This guy's a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He's really a big loser! He didn't say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That's called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.‎ ‎ Some politicians often use this trick. Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents (对手) says, " During Govemor Smith's term, the state lost one million jobs !” That's true. However, an honest statement would have been , " During Govemor Smith's term , the state had a net gain of two million jobs. "‎ ‎ Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, " Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.‎ ‎ " It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.‎ ‎ This kind of deception happens too often. lt's a sad fact of life :Lies are lies , and sometimes the truth can lie as well.‎ ‎29. How much did the lottery winner lose? ‎ A. Four hundred dollars. B. Two hundred dollars.‎ C. Three hundred dollars. D. One hundred dollars.‎ ‎30. We may infer（推论） that the author believes people should___________. ‎ A. buy lottery tickets B. make use of half-truths C. be careful about what they are told D. not trust the Yucky Company ‎31. What can we know from the example of the Yucky Pill advertisement? ‎ A. False statements are easy to see through.‎ B. Half-truths are often used to mislead people.‎ C. Doctors like to act in advertisement.‎ D. Advertisements are based on facts.‎ ‎32. Which one should be the main idea of the passage?‎ A. He’s really a big loser B. Sometimes the truth can lie as well.‎ C. Advertisers will sometimes use half truths.‎ D. It’s against the law to make false statements ‎. D It’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school.‎ Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules and school rules ‎ so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention. ‎ You might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day, but it’s a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friend!‎ Seeing friends you haven’t seen in a while can make the first day a good one. You can make the day feel special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers（运动鞋）. It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll be needing. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.‎ ‎33. The last paragraphs mainly tell us about _____.‎ A. what to know about a new school ‎ B. how to prepare for a new school ‎ C. what to do on your first day of school D. how to spend your first day of school ‎34. According to the passage you usually do everything on the first day of school except _____.‎ A. introduce yourself B. learn about the school rules ‎ C. make new friends D. go over your new lessons ‎35. If you happen to see an old friend on the first day of school, from the passage we ‎ ‎ know that you will feel ______.‎ A. nervous B. embarrassed C. happy D. surprising ‎ ‎ 第二节 七选五 (共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)‎ ‎ 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.‎ Oral English, also known as spoken English , is the form of English that is used when people are speaking to one another. Students who are learning English as a second ‎ language often feel uncomfortable using oral English because they fear that they will not be understood. It is important that a person who is learning to speak English practice using the language. 36 ‎ Listening is important to learn spoken English. 37 Pay attention to conversations that happen around you while you are shopping. Watch the news every evening while you have supper.‎ Part of learning spoken English is in understanding how English words are formed. Watch the mouths and tongues of native English speakers carefully. 38 Notice how the lips form certain sounds . Imitate ( 模仿)what you see .‎ Rent movies over the weekend. Try to follow the story line of comedy shows. 39 Not having to respond in English lets you focus on simply understanding what is being said. Understanding how English is used in conversation will help you to better communicate in the language.‎ ‎40 When you are reading, pay more attention to the correct pronunciation of the words you are reading rather than comprehension of each word . Read easy books that were written for children. Reading simple books takes away the frustration of sounding out hard words.‎ A. Read out loud for twenty to thirty minutes every day .‎ B. Listen to English radio while getting ready in the morning .‎ C. Observe how much the mouth is opened to say certain words .‎ D. Find a friend or teacher who is willing to help you learn English .‎ E. Repeat the conversations several times to increase your speaking speed .‎ F. Watching TV shows and movies allows you to hear English used in conversation .‎ G. The more a person practices his or her skills , the more easily speaking English will become .‎ 第三部分 ‎ 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完型填空 (共20小题,每小题1.5,满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文,从短文后的A . B. C.
