My granddad was the one who taught me, and he helped me when I got hurt. The first time I got on a bike, I had no idea what I was doing, and just about everything went wrong. My granddad told me to just put my feet on the pedals and start, pedaling(骑自行车). He also told me he would hold onto the back of the bike the whole time, yet he didn't.‎ As soon as I started trying to balance myself, he let go. I happened to look back just then. I was scared to death that I was going to fall and hurt myself. When I was scared, my mind went blank from pedaling, and I just wanted off. I forgot how to use the brakes(车闸) and fell right off the bike. My granddad kept encouraging me to get up and try again, and after about 15 minutes, I finally stopped crying, got up and tried again.‎ As soon as I started pedaling again, my pants got caught in the chain, and I fell flat on my face and hit my nose. Since that happened, my granddad decided to call it a day and try again the next morning. The next morning I woke up bright and early, and was very eager to try to ride my bike. My nose felt better, so I wasn't that afraid of falling anymore.‎ Though I knew there were a lot of difficulties on the way to mastering the skills in riding a bike, l believed I could do well with my granddad's help. After all, riding a bike was what I wanted to do eagerly.‎ ‎24. How was the author when he was on the bike first?‎ A. He thought balancing himself was easy B.. He didn't know where he would be going.‎ C. He was nervous and didn't know what to do next.‎ D. He put his feet on the pedals and started pedaling.‎ ‎25.

What is the author's attitude towards his granddad?‎ A. Supportive. B. Negative.‎ C. Indifferent. (漠不关心的） D. Thankful.‎ ‎27. Which of the following could be the title for the passage ?‎ A. The First Time I Got My Own Bike B. The Difficulty I Met with My Granddad C. The Experience of My First Riding a Bike ‎ D. The Great Moment When I Stayed with My Granddad C As a young adult, Noah Webster was a teacher. At this time, the colonies（殖民地）were fighting for independence from Britain. Yet the books that American children used in school all came from Britain. The books were all about British people and British places. Webster wanted books that would mean more to American children. So he wrote three books that used American examples--a grammar book, a spelling book, and a reader. These books were very popular, and millions of them were sold.‎ Webster was interested in changing the spellings of words. He wanted words to be spelled the way they were pronounced. For example, he thought the word “head” should be spelled “hed”, and the word “laugh” should be spelled “laf”. People liked Webster's suggestions.‎ However, few words were actually changed. One group of words that were changed were words in which an unpronounced “u” followed an “o”. That is why Americans write “color” and “labor”, and the British write “colour” and “labour”.‎ With the money he made from his books, Webster was able to start on his great work. It was the first American English dictionary, published in 1828. Webster's dictionary had over 70,000 words and gave the meaning and origin（起源）of each. To this day, Webster's work is the example that most dictionaries of American English follow.‎ ‎28. Which of the following statements is TRUE?‎ A. Noah Webster had his own government when he was young. ‎ B. When Noah Webster taught at schools, he wrote some storybooks.‎ C. As a teacher, Noah Webster wasn’t satisfied with the books he used D. Noah Webster had to borrow books from Britain when he was a student.‎ ‎29. The third paragraph mainly tells us that __________.‎ A. Webster spoke English in a different way ‎ B. American people didn’t like speaking English C. Webster was good at correcting mistakes in textbooks D. American people didn’t write English as exactly as English people did ‎ ‎30. In American history, Noah Webster is famous for __________.‎ A. his dictionary B. his teaching methods C. his fighting for freedom D. learning foreign languages ‎ ‎31. The last sentence of this passage means __________.‎ A. most American people followed Webster’s advice on writing B. Webster’s dictionary is the only one used in the United States C. most dictionaries in the world are the copies of Webster’s D. most dictionaries in American English have the characteristics（特征）of Webster’s ‎ D On March 17 there will be an explosion of green color across the world in celebration of St Patrick’s Day. The Irish traditionally wear something colored green on this day as the color is connected with Ireland. Another St Patrick’s Day tradition is for the non-Irish to make jokes about the Irish. Usually these jokes will be about Irish stupidity or their famous thirst for alcohol, or their reputation(名声) for telling tall(untrue) stories. These characteristics are all part of the famous Irish stereotype (成见) that Irishmen are hot-tempered drinkers, who love to fight and will do anything to avoid a day’s work.‎ The real joke, however, is that this negative Irish stereotype still exists. The stereotype might have had some truth back in the 19th century when Irish was poverty-stricken and starving. Many Irish moved to the United States to escape famine(饥荒), but there they had to compete, occasionally with their fists, for jobs and housing with other immigrant groups. It was on America’s streets that the Irish earned their reputation for street fighting. However, it was far from truth today, with the exception of the drinking perhaps.‎ Today, the Irish are admired for their story telling gifts and musical talents. It is no accident that several of the greatest writers of the 20th century were Irish. Or that many of today’s most popular music groups such as singer Enya and rock band U2 are Irish born and growing. Lonely Planet readers even ranked Ireland as the friendliest country in the world.‎ However, one bit of the Irish stereotype is true, their love for drink. Drinking in Ireland is a job, but it’s not necessarily something to criticize. It was the Irish after all who created one of the world’s best-loved beers, Guinness.‎ ‎32. What is this reading passage mainly about?‎ A. The Irish festival--- St Patrick’s Day.     ‎ B. How the Irish earned their reputation.‎ C. Jokes about the Irish people.            ‎ D. Famous Irish stereotype and the truth.‎ ‎33. Which of the following statements does NOT belong to the Irish stereotype?‎ A. Irishwomen are not hot-tempered drinkers.‎ B. Most Irish people are always very lazy.‎ C. Irishmen are good at street fighting.‎ D. Irish people are famous for their stupidity.‎ ‎34. Where did the negative Irish stereotype come from?‎ ‎ A. From their everyday behavior towards other people.‎ ‎ B. From the behavior of Irish immigrants to the America in the 19th century.‎ ‎ C. From the historical records of the 19th century Ireland.‎ ‎ D. From most people’s impression of the Irish people.‎ ‎35. Which of the following was created by the Irish?‎ A. Tall stories.    ‎ B. Street fighting winners   ‎ C. Guinness     ‎ D. Love for drink.‎ 第二节 （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。‎ How to Be Grateful Has your mother or best friend told you that you're an ungrateful person? 36 Do you keep thinking about the things you don't have, instead of being thankful for what you do have? If so, then you need to work on being a more grateful person.‎ ‎1. 37 This isn’t a religious(宗教的) thing. You don't have to hold off on noting everything you're thankful for until Thanksgiving. Every Sunday, get a notebook and sit outside for fifteen minutes while making a list of all of the things you're thankful for.‎ ‎2.
