A. Choose the best answer (根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案)：(12分)
Have you ever wanted a friend who can solve problems with magic tricks? Well, a round-
headed blue robotic cat is the friend you are looking for.
Doraemon (多啦 A梦) is a character created in the 1970s by Japanese cartoonist Fujiko E
Fujio.
Starting form Dec 1, on the birthday of Fujio, Doraemon is returning in a new comic series.
This is the first new Doraemon since it ended eight years ago.
In the story, Doraemon comes from the 22nd century. He becomes friends with a fourth-gradeboy called Nobita (大雄) who is like you and your classmates. He has arguments with his friends,
is blamed by his mother, and gets a headache from his homework. But luckily, Doraemon is
always there to help.
If you ask what makes the Doraemon series so popular, the simple answer may lie in
Doraemon's amazing pocket that's full of cool gadgets (小玩意儿). Anywhere Door helps Nobita
go anywhere to make his dreams come true. Memory Bread, once eaten, helps him remember
textbooks quickly. Xia Xue, 14, from Yangzhou, Jiangsu province, wished she could have one,
too. "With Memory Bread, I can press it on my textbook and eat it," Xia said. "This way, exams
would be a piece of cake!"
Doraemon is also like a real person. He has a nice personality. He teaches Nobita courage and
friendship. He even has a favourite food. But sometimes, he is lazy and tells small lies.
But more than that, Doraemon gives a message: the future can be likable, the present is
redeemable (可补救的), and you can be happy even if you're blue, Time magazine once
commented. This encourages children that no matter what ups and downs they have, they can
always get through them.
69. We know that Doraemon is ______.
A. Nobita's classmate B. a real person with a nice personality
C. a character from a Japanese cartoon D. a lovely cat with blue fur
70. How many cool gadgets are mentioned in paragraph 5?
A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4
71. We can infer from(推断) the story that ______.
A. Doraemon is not always honest
B. Nobita is good at studying
C. Doraemon teaches Nobita some learning methods
D. Nobita easily gets sad
72. The underlined word "blue" in the last paragraph mean "______".
A. angry B. confused C. bored D. sad
73. What can kids learn from Doraemon?
A. Be brave no matter what happens
B. With magic, you can do whatever you like
C. It is good to cry if you are not happy
D. Treasure your school days
74. The best title for the passage might be ______.
A. Nobita, a boy who's often in trouble B. Doraemon returns with cool magic
C. Doraemon's present and future D. My best friend, Doraemon
B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完
成短文)（12分）
Can we have too many friends.'?
How many friends do you have? Making a lot of friends makes you popular at school. Also,
whenever you want to find someone for help, there is always a certain friend there. Now scientists
suggest that parts of the brain in those with more friends are larger than those with 75 friends.
Scientists have studied the connection between brain 3ize and social interactions(社交互动) on
monkeys. They found that parts of the brain in more sociable monkeys were larger. They were
better 76 predicting the intentions (意图) of other monkeys.As for humans, the researchers at McGill University, Canada, studied the differences between
those with larger social groups, and those with smaller groups. The researchers studied 18 people.
In order to 77 the size of each person's social group, the people were asked how many social
interactions they'd had in the past month.
Then researchers looked at brain scans(扫描). They found that, just like monkeys, parts of the
brain in humans with larger social groups were larger.
Although scientists need long-term studies to work out 78 social interaction caused these
changes in the brain, they were sure about one thing: Some brain regions(区域) that are larger
suggests other regions might be smaller, lead scientist Mary Ann Noonan said to LiveScience.
For example, if you're spending a lot of time with friends, you won't have much free time to
learn other 79 , such as playing the piano, Noonan said. These parts of the brain stay small.
So having too many friends is not always good. 80 , it's difficult to keep a lot of meaningful
relationships. Maybe we should stick to a smaller, but closer, group of friends.
75. A. fewer B. better C. worse D. smaller
76. A. in B. on C. with D. at
77. A. take out B. find out C. put out D. look at
78. A. that B. whether C. when D. what
79. A. skills B. experiences C. technologies D. hobbies
80. A. Finally B. At least C. What's more D. Above all
C) Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，
使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给):（14分）
Say hello to the world
November 21 is World Hello Day. At school, we learned that "How do you do?" and "How
are you" are standard(标准的) ways to say hello when meeting others. But do you know how to
respond to them? Nowadays, do native speakers s 81 use them today?
As we learned, "How do you do?" is for greeting someone we meet for the first time. And it can
be responded with the same "How do you do? How are you?" is often used to greet someone we
are familiar with. It usually f 82 with a response of "I'm good, and you?" or" I'm well, and
you?"
But English is a casual (随意的) language. The formal "How do you do?" is rarely said by
native speakers. It is considered old-fashioned. Yet they greet each other in m 83 other ways.
You may hear a conversation b 84 British people: "You all right? Yea, you? I'm good. Any
plans for the weekend?" or "How's it going? Yea, fine, and you?" These ways of greeting are
popular for young people to say hello to friends.
Americans like saying, "What's up" or "What's good?" to friends. Don't be confused. It doesn't
mean "what's wrong?" It is just one way of saying hello. And people usually respond "Not much"
or "Nothing". "Hey, man" is also popular. But it is only used among men. What do w 85 say?
You guessed it. They often say "Hey, girl."
If you meet an Australian, you may hear "G'day, mate". It means "Good day". You can respond
with the same "G'day".
H 86 , there is no rule to say hello to each other. If you can't remember all of the above, just
choose "How are you?". This is the most c 87 and standard way for people of all ages. You can
reply with "pretty good", "same as usual" or "I'm hanging in there."
D．Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）Have you ever been sad because you failed in something? If so, please remember, for often,
achieving what you expect is not the most important thing. Enjoy the process. Here is a story to
tell you why.
One day a little boy decided to dig a hole behind his house after watching a science program. As
he was working, a couple of boys stopped by to watch. "what are you doing?" asked one of the
visitors. "I want to dig a deep hole all the way through the earth!" the boy answered excitedly. The
older boys began to laugh, telling him that it was impossible to do it. Then they left.
The little boy kept on digging and digging. Suddenly, a few small colorful stones caught his
eyes. He collected them and put them into a glass box patiently. Humming a song, he went on
digging. The box was full soon. Then he talked to himself quietly and proudly, "Maybe I can't
finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what I have found in the process of
digging!"
The boy's goal was too difficult, but it did cause him to go on, in other words, to cause us to
keep working.
Not every goal will be achieved. Not every job will end up with a success. Not every dream will
come true. But when you can't achieve your goal, maybe you can say, "Yes, but look what I've
found along the way! There are so many wonderful things that have come into my life because I
tried to do something!" It is in the digging that life is lived. It is the unexpected joy on the journey
that really has a meaning.
88. Is achieving what you expect the most important thing in the passage?

Wang An was born in Shanghai, China in 1920. He came to America at the age of 25. He
studied at Harvard, a famous university near Boston. He was very clever and soon got a doctor's
degree from Harvard.
In 1951 Wang An started a small company. It had only one room and two workers. The
company made calculators and computers. By 1985 Wang had 30,000 workers and had made $3
billion. Wang's company was one of the most successful in the world.
Money did not change Wang An. He lived with his wife in the same house outside Boston.
He had only two suits at one time, and they were always gray. Wang An's life was his company.
He made his son, Fred, president of the company in 1986.
Wang An died in 1990. People in America will remember this great man. He was generous
and liked to give money. We find his name in places like the Wang Center for the Performing Arts
or the Wang Institute in Boston.

Do you know the classroom customs in America? Are they the same as ours ?
In America, if the teacher asks a question, you are expected to give an answer. If you do not
understand the question, you should put up your hand and ask the teacher to repeat it. If you do
not know the answer, it is all right to tell the teacher that you do not know. Then he or she knows
what you need to learn.
There is no excuse for not doing your homework. If you are absent, you should call your
teacher or someone who is in your class and ask for the task. It is your responsibility to find out
what tasks you have missed. It is not the teacher's responsibility to remind you of missing tasks.
Be on time! It is thought rude to be late. If you come in late, be sure to do it quietly. Have your
books and papers out of your bag before you come into the classroom. Then go to your seat and sit
quietly. In the USA, it is not necessary to knock before you enter the classroom. If you must leave
during class, do it quietly. There is no need to ask the teacher's permission. Entering a teacher's
office or any other office with a closed door without knocking first is not polite. Knock first, and
then wait to be invited in;
