petitive world, 3 cause a lot of nervousness in students. For some, exam anxiety encourages them to work hard, while for others it may be the root cause for poor performance, leading to academic 4 and lack of confidence. In fact, some students are anxious by nature and easily get nervous when they face a(n) 5 situation. They will think 6 even if they have prepared well. They fear that they may 7 what they have studied, and when it is too much, their 8 is likely to come true.
One of the most important methods of 9 exam anxiety is to prepare well in advance. Studying regularly for a few hours every day helps increase the 10 of students. If students are not able to handle anxiety or nervousness, they could talk to their teachers, parents, friends or instructors. 11 should also avoid giving pressure to their kids to do well. Creating a peaceful and 12 atmosphere at home can be greatly helpful.
To 13 and sleep properly is also important. Students tend to avoid sleep and starve themselves due to anxiety, but it is 14 to their academic performance and health. It’s better that students should plan their time well and take proper breaks between studies.

When an important holiday comes, I usually think of what gifts to buy or prepare for my family members. It is the act itself rather than the thing you buy 16 matters. Either a small present, a text message or a phone call can mean a lot to the receivers. 17 , I had never got anything from my son, who is a university student. Parents never forget to celebrate their children’s birthday, but their children seem to be very 18 (forget).They seldom do something in return.
Life is unpredictable, and you never know what will happen tomorrow. When my son came back during the summer vacation, my wife and I, as usual, 19 (meet) him at the station. On arriving home, much 20 my surprise, my son took out a wrist watch and gave it to me, 21 (say) it was a birthday gift for me. It is a very fashionable watch, 22 shows not only hours, minutes and seconds but days as well. You can imagine how surprised and excited I was at that moment.
Some people say children get too much care and love from their parents and just take them
for granted. 23 is natural for people to have such concerns and worries, but things may not

A
The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting moments for all the children in the class. It took place during the first week of the term. Every kid was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.
Some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year. During the previous year Rita had carried out the teacher’s instructions perfectly. All the children knew Rita would be given the best job.
But there was a big surprise. Each child received a normal job. But Rita’s job was very different. She was given a little box containing some sand and one ant. Though the teacher insisted that this ant was very special, Rita felt disappointed. Most of her classmates felt sorry for her. Even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet. However, Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing something special with that job of little interest.
Rita started investigating all about her little ant and gave the ant the best food, and it grew quite a bit bigger.
One day, a man, who looked very important, came into their classroom and declared, “Your class has been chosen to accompany me, this summer, on a journey to the tropical rainforest, where we will investigate all kinds of insects. Among all the schools of this region, your class has best cared for the little ant.”
That day the school was filled with joy and celebration. Everyone thanked Rita for having been so patient and responsible. And many children learnt that to be given the most important task you have to know how to be responsible even in what are the smallest tasks.
26. What did the teacher base her decision on when giving out jobs to the children?
A. Their ability of managing their accounts during the previous year.
B. Their characters and interests.
C. Their class performance during the previous year.
D. Their working performance during the previous year.
27.What does the underlined sentence “But there was a big surprise.” mean?
A. The most responsible student got the job of least interest.
B. Each child got an important job.
C. Each child got an interesting job.
D. The perfect student got the job of everyone’s preference．
28.What is Rita’s attitude to her father’s suggestion?
A. Acceptive.B. Negative.C. Uncertain. D. Totally positive.
29. We can infer that the man who made the declaration is a _________.
A. principal B. hunter C. director D. biologist
30. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Responsibility And Intelligence Bring Good Luck
B. Never Complain About Life
C. Small Tasks Can Lead To Fortunes
D. Men Are Best Known By Their Friends
B
Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important, of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.
The total amount of packaging has increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household's waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.
Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for burying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.
But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it is also applied to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.
There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary materials are collected. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.
31.What does the underlined phrase "over-consumption" refer to?
A. Using too much packaging. B. Recycling too many wastes.
C. Having more material than is needed. D. Making more products than necessary.
32. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show_______.
A. the tendency of cutting household waste B. the increase of packaging recycling
C. the fact of packaging overuse D. the rapid growth of supermarkets
33.According to the text, recycling_________.
A. means burning packaging for energy B. helps control the greenhouse effect
C. is the solution to gas shortage D. leads to a waste of land
34. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.
B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.
C. Other products are better packaged than food.
D. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.
35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Needless material is mostly recycled.
B. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.
C. People like collecting recyclable wastes.
D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.

English is an important global language, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to learn. Many experts have tried to make English easier for students to learn?but they weren’t always successful.
In 1930, Professor CK Ogden of Cambridge University invented Basic English. It had only 850 words (and just eighteen verbs) and Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours. The problem was that people who learned Basic English could write and say simple messages, but they couldn’t understand the answers in “real” English! It was also impossible to explain a word if it wasn’t in the Basic English word list. For example, if you wanted a watermelon, you asked for “a large green fruit with the form of an egg, which has a sweet red inside and a good taste”!
RE Zachrisson, a university professor in Sweden, decided that the biggest problem for learners of English was spelling, so he invented a language called Anglic. Anglic was similar to English, but with much simpler spelling. “Father” became “faadher”, “new” became “nue’ and “years” became “yeerz”. Unfortunately for some students of English, Anglic never became popular.
Even easier is the language which ships’ captains use: it’s called “Seaspeak”. Seaspeak uses a few simple phrases for every possible situation. In Seaspeak, for example, you don’t say, “I’m sorry what did you say?” or “I didn’t understand, can you repeat that?” It’s just “Say again.” No more grammar!
In the age of international communication through the Internet who knows? ... a new form of English might appear. A large number of the world’s e-mails are in English and include examples of “NetLingo” like OIC (Oh, I see) and TTYL (Talk to you later). In another fifty years, English might not exist ... we will probably all speak fluent Internetish!
36.The best title for the passage would be ______.
A. Seaspeak B. Basic English C. Internetish D. Easy English
37. It will take a person about ______ weeks to learn Basic English if he spends two hours
learning it every day.
A. six B. four C. two D. three
38. According to Professor Zachrisson, what was the biggest problem for learners of English?
A. Grammar. B. Vocabulary. C. Speaking. D. Spelling.
39. Which of the following is likely to be Anglic?
A. IOU B. A graet batl. C. Long time no see. D. Two five, no lights.
40. What might happen to English in another fifty years?
A. It might be replaced by Internetish.
B. It might become a global language.
C. It might take the place of all other languages.
D. It might become more and more difficult.

Organic food, once considered something that only health fanatics desired, is now a regular feature at most supermarkets. And that has created a bit of a dilemma. On the one hand, you have a conventionally grown apple. On the other, you have one that’s organic. Both apples are firm, shiny and red. Both provide vitamins and fiber, and both are free of fat, sodium and cholesterol.
Conventionally grown food generally costs less, but is organic food a better choice? The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and sold food products are now being debated on a large scale. Supporters of organic foods ? a term whose meaning varies greatly ? are frequently telling the world that such products are safer and more nutritious than others.
The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of daily foods is a welcome development. However, much of this interest has been aroused by sweeping claims that the conventional food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meeting nutritional needs.
Almost daily, the public is surrounded by claims for “no-aging” diets, new vitamins and other wonder foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated(没证实的) reports that natural vitamins are superior to man-made ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than those treated with insect spray and the like.
Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence, large amounts of written material about the benefits of organic foods makes it difficult for people to separate fact from fiction. As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely advertised and form the basis for people’s opinion.
One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is that they cost more than conventionally grown foods. But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe organic foods can maintain health and provide better nutritional quality than conventionally grown foods. So there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the conventional food supply and buy only expensive organic foods instead.
41. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following statements about organic food is true?
A. It hasn’t been used until recent years. B. It has no agreed definition.
C. It is popular among producers.D. It is accepted by most nutritionists.
42. In Paragraph 4, treated grains are examples of ________.
A. healthier food B. organic food
C. conventionally grown food D. expensive food
43. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. most doctors believe organic foods prevent disease or provide other benefits to health
B. organic foods are actually less nutritious than conventionally grown foods
C. people cannot separate fact from fiction because of the TV advertisements
D. organic foods cost more but are not necessarily better than conventionally grown foods
44. According to the passage, many consumers are attracted by organic foods because they _____.
A. want to try something newB. have carefully researched the products
C. value food safety and nutrition D. expect to save some money
45. What is the author’s attitude towards the claims of organic foods?
A. Doubtful. B. Enthusiastic. C. Supportive. D.Uninterested.

请阅读下面的短文，然后按要求写一篇150 词左右的英语短文。
Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, "In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence". Given that this is the case, why aren't students taught to manage conflicts the way they are taught to solve math problems, or stay physically fit?
A report on violence among high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with daily small matters such as a relatively minor insult (侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.
There will always be conflicts in schools, but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence. Learning to resolve（化解）conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.

According to the report, conflicts are very common in high schools across the country. And the conflicts usually result from small things. Therefore, students should be taught how to deal with conflicts properly. (33)
Nowadays conflicts are often heard among high school students, which usually results from students’ different personalities or holding different attitudes towards something.
I once had a conflict with my classmate, Li Ming. One day, he and I were on duty. But he turned up very late. I was so angry that I couldn’t help yelling at him. He tried to explain. But I wouldn’t listen to him. He became angry with me, too. The next day, I learned that Li Ming was delayed because of a traffic jam. I apologized to him. Fortunately, he pardoned me and we became good friends again.
Classmate conflicts are harmful and need to be settled. I believe learning to be tolerant with each other plays a constructive role. Meanwhile, communication contributes to solving such problems. (131)
