Donnie was a third grader in my class.His 33 about failure kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed.He 34 answered my questions—he was afraid of making mistakes. I tried my best to build his self-confidence.But nothing changed 35 midterm,when Mary,a new teacher,came.She was young and pretty,and she was loved by every student 36 Donnie.It was her who made a big difference to Donnie later. One morning,they were doing math problems at the blackboard.Donnie had copied the problems clearly and 37 .But he􀆳d missed the fourth problem and began to cry with his head in his arms. I didn􀆳t know what to do.Suddenly,a smile 38 on Mary􀆳s face.From the desk she got a box 39 pencils.“Look,Donnie,”she said gently,kneeling(蹲在)beside him.“I􀆳ve got something to 40 you.”She removed the pencils,one at a time,and placed them on his desk. “See these pencils,Donnie,”she continued.“They 41 Mrs Landon and me.See how the erasers are worn(磨损)?That􀆳s because we make mistakes too.But we erase the mistakes and try again.That􀆳s what you 42 learn to do,too.” She kissed him and stood up,“Here,”she said,“I􀆳ll leave one of these pencils on 43 desk,so you􀆳ll remember that everybody makes mistakes,even teachers.”Donnie looked up with 44 in his eyes and a smile. The pencil became Donnie􀆳s prize.That,together with Mary􀆳s encouragement,gradually made him understand 45 the meaning of making mistakes is—it􀆳s all right to make mistakes,as long as you erase them and try again. 31.A.similar B.active C.important 32.A.offer B.pass C.send 33.A.puzzle B.worry C.complaint34.A.always B.usuallyC.seldom 35.A.since B.after C.until 36.A.includingB.except C.without 37.A.simply B.carefully C.casually 38.A.appearedB.froze C.disappeared 39.A.made ofB.covered by C.filled with 40.A.tell B.show C.ask 41.A.come to B.refer to C.belong to 42.A.might B.could C.must 43.A.your B.his C.her 44.A.hateB.love C.fear 45.A.howB.why C.what Ⅳ.阅读理解(一)(每小题2分,共30分) 阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出一个最佳选项。 (A) Are you bored with your daily routine?Here are some things you should try before you are 18,because after that it􀆳s too late! 46.According to the passage,we should learn to swim because it could .

If everything goes okay,you􀆳ll be living in France in a big house in a small town with Gwynn and your two children.You are doing research in painting.Gwynn will be a computer programmer and you will be doing all right for yourselves. However,if things don􀆳t go according to plan,I wish you love,happiness and joy. Love, Sherri“18” When I read this,I was surprised.So much of what I wanted has come true. I did travel to a few more places in Canada.I􀆳ve traveled to the UK,Australia and Egypt.I have been living in France for nearly 4 years in a big house,in a small suburb(郊 区),in a major city.I am an art teacher in a university.I have two lovely kids. But not everything went as what I hoped.I married a man named Tom Rees,and he is an excellent artist.We are doing all right for ourselves.

Sometimes people call ours a “throwaway society”.That means we are always throwing away old things and buying new ones.Many times,if you no longer need something,someone else just might need it.For example,if your brother is old enough not to play with his plastic bike,why not give it to another family who has a little kid so that they don􀆳t need to buy one?And one less large plastic toy doesn􀆳t need to be produced. Recycling(回收利用)has never been easier.Many organizations will pick it up right in front of your house and some towns even require(要求)it.Tell your mom or dad you want to become“Chief of Recycling”for your family.Now that you know what things you can recycle,find a place to keep them.Make sure you encourage everyone in your house to think whether things can be reused or recycled before they􀆳re thrown away. Almost everyone likes traveling.But next time before you travel around the world,take a look at your own backyard.Is there a place where you could plant a tree or put in a little fruit or vegetable garden?If so,get there and get your hands dirty.Then you can watch with pride as your tree takes root,and your garden plants grow into big plants full of ripe,red tomatoes or tiny,juicy blueberries.Who knew being green would taste so good? 56.In the first paragraph,the writer introduces the topic of the passage by .

It had been with me as I worked hard 80 my family,as I played with my children and I heard their laughter and even when I was 81 ill with my wife at myside looking after me.It had been with me as I raced towards that stupid banner.I just didn􀆳t have the ability to see it. There is an old saying 82 goes,“Tension is who you think you should be.Relaxation is who you are.”Perhaps we all should stop our race towards the perfect life we think we should have.We should enjoy the life we have now.Happiness will never 83 under some banner far away.You will find it in your own heart,soul and mind.You will find it when you realize that others love you just as you do.

Discussing in a group not only makes me enjoy the happiness of being a good learner but also deepens the friendship between Jeff and me.Knowledge comes from communicating and questioning.By discussing,we learn more wisely and better.
