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、 Wang Qi, 14:
I love taking online courses. They give me a lot more choices and freedom. We can choose to learn whatever we want. Also, online classes enable us to study whenever and wherever we want, which is very convenient.
Wu Jun, 13:
I don’t think taking online classes is a good way to study. There are many temptations ( 诱惑) on the Internet. Maybe students will play computer games while taking lessons. Or even they will contact with classmates through QQ or Wechat. Students can be distracted from their courses easily. The whole learning process is not as organized as it is in the classroom.
Zhou Siya, 13:
Online classrooms are beneficial. We might feel more focused on learning when we are alone in front of a computer with no one to distract us. In addition, taking courses online also means we can have more time to use a computer, which is a good way to practice our computer skills.
Li Chunjie, 14:
I think the idea of taking online courses is crazy. It can increase our exposure (接触) to computers and the radiation (辐射) from them could do harm to the human body, especially our eyes. Also, sitting in front of a computer for a long time without exercising can be harmful to our health.
【1】How many students support online learning?
A.One B.Two C.Three
【2】Wang Qi thinks that taking online courses is convenient because .
A.there are many courses to choose from

C.online courses are free to take

25、Last year in the UK at least 45 people died and 900 more were injured (受伤的) in car accidents where drivers were using their mobile phones.Yet many people continue to use them while driving even though it’s dangerous.
Research has shown that it is difficult to concentrate on (专注于) driving and talking at the same time.It can even be more dangerous than driving after drinking too much. A recent study found that when drivers were talking on their mobile phones,their stopping times were 30 percent slower than when they had drunk too much—and nearly 50 percent slower than when they were driving normally. It also found that drivers talking on mobile phones were less able to control their cars than drunk drivers.
And talking isn’t even the most serious problem, but texting is. Unbelievably, another recent study reported that 22% of adults admitted (承认) they had sent a text message while driving at least once in the past month. An average (平均的) text message takes 90 seconds to write and send. That means for one and a half minutes a driver is looking at their phone’s screen and not at the road. The arrival of new smart phones such as the iPhone will only make things worse as they will allow users to do more things than ever before.
Using a mobile phone while driving puts others’ lives at risk. No matter how well we drive,if another driver is not careful,we are put in danger by their actions. Such drivers are selfish,careless and should have their driving licences (驾照) cancelled (撤销).
There is no doubt that mobile phones can be fun and are useful,especially when you’re in trouble.But there is no need to use them while driving. Just wait until you stop or you will probably get into trouble of your own.
【1】The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refers to _______.
A. phone users B. mobile phones
C. drivers D. ears
【2】According to the passage,if a driver needs 10 seconds to stop when driving normally, they will need _______ seconds to stop when talking on a mobile phone.
A. 12 B. 13 C.14 D. 15
【3】According to the passage,in what order do the following activities influence driving?
Dangerous→More dangerous→Most dangerous
A. drinking→talking on phone→texting
B. texting→talking on phone→drinking
C. talking on phone→drinking→texting
. drinking→texting→talking on phone
【4】Why will new types of mobile phones make the driving problem worse?
A. It will take longer to send text messages.
B. People will want to talk on their phones more often.
C. There will be more things for people to do with their phones.
D. People think the new phones are easier and safer to use.
【5】According to the writer, what should be done to people who use mobile phones when driving?
A. They should be put into prison (监狱).
B. Their cars should be taken away.
C. Their phones should be taken from them.
D. They should not be allowed to drive any longer.
26、When you are about to do something brave, a cheerful wish of “Good luck!” from a friend can be helpful. But if you think you need lots of luck, what else might you do?
In the UK and US there are some strange traditions for bringing yourself a little more good luck. Some are hundreds of years old and some are much newer.
Have you heard the saying “When you wish upon a star”? If you are looking up at the sky on a clear night and you see a sudden flash of light, it is probably a shooting star! Seeing one doesn’t happen very often. The saying goes that if you see one you have been very lucky, and so ifyou make a wish, it will come true.
Maybe you have heard of the lucky rabbit’s foot. Some people believe that rabbits are lucky animals, so they carry a part of the rabbit, its foot, for good luck. There are all kinds of strange, unclear rules about which of the rabbit’s feet is the luckiest. It is said that this good luck tradition is the oldest one of all. However, as the funny saying goes, “Depend on the rabbit’s foot if you will, but remember it didn’t work for the rabbit!”
People in Britain love trees. If it is autumn and leaves are falling from the trees, some people try to catch the leaves as they fall because they think each leaf they catch will bringthema lucky month in the following year—they will need to catch 12 falling leaves to have a whole of good luck.
【1】Which thing is mentioned in the oldest good luck tradition?
A. A falling leaf
B. A rabbit’s foot
C. A shooting star
D. A cheerful wish from friends
【2】According to Paragraph 3, we know that ______.
A. people can see a shooting star on a rainy night.
B. shooting stars can often be seen
C. people believe that it’s unlucky to see a shooting star.
D. your wish may come true if you see a shooting star.

A. the leaves fall in autumn.
B. there are so many leaves to catch.
C. they want to have a whole year of good luck.
D. the leaves can bring them a lucky month.
【4】In Paragraph 5, the underlined word “them” refers to(指)______.

【5】The passage is mainly about ______.

28、阅读下列材料,从所给的六个选项(A、B、C、D、E、F)中,选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余选项。
The people below travel abroad. Read the following stories and decide what problem each traveler experienced while traveling.
_______【1】 David got lost in an isolated place. To make matters worse, he had an accident and couldn’t walk freely. So he was in great need of help.
_______【2】Paul had to buy a hamburger and ate it in the park instead of eating his mother’s delicious chicken, with which he couldn’t go through the customs(海关).
______【3】Ann was stopped at the customs because she was carrying medicine without a doctor’s prescription. How regretted she was not to have done that!
_______【4】Sally offended some of the people in the town when she was visiting by wearing wrong clothes. She should have found out about local customs and followed them.
_______【5】Jack didn’t get a transit card when he changed planes an airport, which made him very worried. So he was not allowed to get on board.
A. My mother was worried about me. She cooked me all my favorite dishes and put them into a box to take with me on my journey. But the customs officer checked all the plant and animal products at the airport. Unfortunately it was illegal(违法)for me to bring into the country the kind of food my mother had given me and so it all had to be thrown away.
B. It was very hot so I put on some shorts and a T-shirt to go sightseeing. I hadn’t gone very far when I found everyone was looking at me, and they didn’t seem friendly to me. One woman even spat on me as I walked past. I decided to get off the crowded streets and so I turned down a small, quiet street.
C. During the four-day walking tour, I was amazed by mountain scenery and the ancient ruins we passed on our hike. On the last day, we arrived at the ruins of Machu Picchu in time to see the sunrise over the Andes. I spent the day visiting the ruins of that ancient Inca city before catching the train back to the capital city of the country.
D. When I got off the plane at the first airport. I saw someone handing out cards to some of the passengers, but I didn’t know what they were for, so I didn’t take one. When I tried to board the second plane they asked for my transit card, which I didn’t’ have. I was worried they were going to send me back to London.
E. I had been walking for about an hour when suddenly I slipped and fell down a riverbank. I hurt my ankle and couldn’t stand up. I didn’t know how I could get back to the village. I hadn’t told anyone what I was going, so no one would know where to look for me when they realized I was missing.
F. When I arrived, a customs officer at the airport looked in my bag and found the pills in a small box. He wanted to know what the pills were for and why they weren’t in their proper bottle with my name and the doctor’s name on it. I explained that the bottle had been too big and heavy. Then he wanted to know if I had a letter from my doctor explaining about the pills.
