1、 There is a tradition at my school that when Changsha High School Entrance Examination is less than a month away, students in the lower grades, from Grade 7 to Grade 8, all gather together on the ground in front of the teaching building and cheer on the Grade 9 students who are standing upstairs.1. It wasn’t until I took part in the activity in person that I understood the true meaning of it.
2. 那时我上7年级。On that special night, all the Grade 9 students stood in the hallways and looked down at the younger students below. Various cheers started to resound throughout the school, wave after wave. “Believe in yourself! You will succeed!”
Seeing everyone’s smiling face around us,3.我们想起了一句著名的格言。It’s from the American philosopher (哲学家) Henry David Thoreau, 4.“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.”
Soon it will be my turn to receive blessing in this way.5. That also means we will have to say goodbye to our school. Although it will be sad, being cheered on by so many students will still be one of the brightest time of my life.

24、 In 1926, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in the window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo. The next important date in the history of photography was in 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture, you could see everything clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerrotype(银版照相). Soon other people began to use Daguerre’s way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities, mountains. In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take picture of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the US worked so hard. Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike(栩栩如生的). Photography also became one kind of art by the end of 19th century.

26、 The Great Wall is one of the most famous historical sites in the world today. Do you know that an Englishman has spent years protecting it?
William Lindesay got interested in the Great Wall when he was a schoolboy. In order to realize his dream of visiting it, he majored in (主修) Geography at college.
In April 1987, he arrived in China and spent 78 days walking along the Great Wall. During the journey, William found that the Great Wall was actually not the same as what he had seen in pictures. “Some people scribble (乱涂) on it and some throw rubbish all around,” he said. From then on, William made up his mind to stay in China, study and protect the Great Wall.
In April 1998, William called together more than 120 volunteers all over the world to pick up rubbish. He also hired (雇用) local villagers to pick up rubbish. Later William realized that picking up rubbish was not enough to protect the Great Wall. To call on more people to make efforts, he founded the organization International Friends of the Great Wall in 2001.

28、任务型阅读
阅读材料,将A、B、C、D四个标题与标题后的四段文字配对,然后完成50题。
A. Remembering the reader B. Writing the first sentence C Reading and rewriting D. Thinking on paper |
Sooner or later everyone has to write something like a thank-you note, a report at a meeting , a complaint or an apology.If you hate writing assignments in school, or if you still fear to put pen to paper, facing that empty page is almost as frightening as you’re facing a tiger.How to write it? There’s no mystery.Clear writing is just clear thinking.Here are some techniques for you.
【1】
Sit down with a pencil and paper or at the computer screen and start thinking about what you want to say, why it’s important, why it matters, and what its impact is on the reader.Just get the ideas down.The next step is to go back and put them in order.
【2】
Try to make your first sentence catch the reader’s eyes, because if it can’t, the reader isn’t going to read on.Get a good, clear lead sentence that summarizes your points and that answers the reader’s question “What’s in it for me?” If you can’t do it in one sentence, then do it in two or three but keep them short.
【3】
Short, simple words are better than long words.Short sentences are better than long sentences.Remember that the goal is to communicate, not to express yourselves.Most people are so devoted to what they want to say that they forget somebody else has to be able to read it.Too much information makes you lose readers before they understand what you want to say.
【4】
Read what you have written out aloud, and listen for any awkward sentences.All good writers read, then rewrite.Back off a little bit from what you’re writing.It’s an old standard, but if you can, write something and come back a day later.
【5】How do you write a good article? Please write down one of your suggestions.(不少于5个单词)
