Not long ago, my daughter's leather shoes were cut by a knife. She burst into tears. I took
the shoes to a shoemaker to get them repaired.
The young shoemaker took a look at the opening and said, “There is 11 I can do but
change the leather."His master looked at them and said to me, "If you 12 me, I will add more cuts in the
form of special style and reuse."
I didn't quite know why, but I decided to 1 3 the shoes,
Two days later, I went there to get the shoes. At the first sight I
found there were indeed five or six 14 on each shoe, but all
the openings were covered by soft red leather sewed (缝) with
thick thread ( 线 ). The shoes looked more special and
interesting than ever. I couldn't help 15 the master for his
work.
Another time, my sister's white 16 had a large opening on the back. My wife took it
over and checked 1 7 , and then said, "Let me take it home and repair it."
Three days went past, and I was 1 8 to see it again: all the openings were sewed up by
thin and 19 thread and they looked like the ice crystal (晶体) on winter's branches
(树枝) in the north. She 20 made a lovely snowman and a wooden house on the blouse. I
said with praise,“I's just as beautiful as a piece of 2 1 .”
“I learned from the master. Patches (补丁) can be designed to look 22 .”
replied my wife.
Her words taught me even more: perfection is 23 to achieve in everything; patches are
unavoidable (不可避免的)，so is human's life, which will appear in the form of wound,
disability or disease. 24 you can't change that, all you can do and have to do is to cover the
wound by patches and try your best to make a most beautiful flower on the wound, and that is
25 life teaches us. Once you understand it, you can enjoy your life better.

In October 2002, Winston Churchill was chosen by the British people as
the greatest British man". The great British men behind him were Shakespeare,
Newton, and Darwin. But many people did not know that Churchill was thought
to be a bad boy when he was a child.
At the age of seven, Winston Churchill was sent to a boarding(寄宿)
school named St. George. The school rules were strict. He often got serious
punishment. Churchill cried loudly and kicked wildly when he was beaten. At
the end of the term, he returned home with a report card and pains all over his body. The
report card said that he was "naughty"(顽皮的).
At the age of twelve, his father sent him to Harrow Public School, which was famous for
training English gentlemen. Because he failed the entrance exam, he was placed in the last group
of the class with worst grades. He fell behind the others in study. He gave many people the
impression of low energy, strangeness ，and lawlessness. Fortunately, he still had a
friend, his grandfather. The American of great wealth who had experienced the world said,
“Let him go! As long as boys have the chance to show their talents, they are sure to become
better." Churchill kept the words of his grandfather in mind, and secretly looked for it in his heart.
Many years later, Churchill was already a successful politician and writer. He worked as a
reporter, as Secretary of the Navy, and as Prime Minister (首相) of the United Kingdom.
He said, “My grandfather taught me that boys must choose their own path. I don't have special
talents and my success is by working hard."
34. The second paragraph mainly tells us .
A. Churchill loved his school B. Churchill got good education
C. Churchill got less punishment D. Churchill was considered as a bad boy
35. Churchill's grandfather was .
A. a gentleman from the UK B. of great help to Churchill
C. rich with little experience D. unsure of Churchill's becoming better
36. The underlined word “Fortunately” in the third paragraph probably means .
A.幸运的是 B.可悲的是 C.奇怪的是 D.可惜的是37. Which of the following is the correct order according to the passage?

②Churchill went to Harrow Public School.
③Churchill was sent to a boarding school.
④Churchill's grandfather encouraged him a lot.
A.③④②① B.③②④① C.①③②④ D.②③④①

A. Geography World. B. Science Study.
C. History Character. D. Natural Environment,

Just the other day, 1 was in a bookshop and found a book
named How to make friends with foreigners. As a Canadian
living in China for a year, I was curious to see what kind of
advice a Chinese writer giving on this matter.
One piece of advice really caught my attention and, I must
say, made me feel quite angry. In the writer's opinion, foreigners
are an“opportunity (机会)”to improve your oral English;
whenever you see a foreigner, American or English, you should practise speaking English
with him or her. If the foreigner doesn't want answer your questions, then he or she is a nude
person who you wouldn't want to spend time with anyway. I think this advice is not only
incorrect, but also may harm the relationship between Chinese and foreigners in China.
Like most other “Lao Wai" living in China, I know how lonely one can sometimes feel
living in a culture different from our own familiar (熟悉的) ways. However, I simply
accept as part of being here. So far my time in China has been rewarding. I have improved my
Chinese language skills, learned about one of the fastest developing countries in the world today
and made some very close Chinese friends.
However, I have also met many Chinese people who consider me only as an “opportunity"
to improve their oral English. I have had people following me from town to my flat to trouble me
to teach them English. I have had complete strangers throwing articles or speeches in my face,
insisting that I help them with the English translation. I have had people asking me non-stop
questions for half an hour at the weekly English Corner ...
Friendship for a lot of foreigners is about spending time with someone whose
company (陪伴) they really enjoy. So if there is any advice to give on making and keeping
friendships with foreigners, I would say that it is this: Treat foreigners as people, not
opportunities. Expect to make friendships step by step, over a period of time, not in a rush.
If your only reason for becoming fiends with a foreigner is to improve your English, then you will
probably find that you don't have a foreign friend for long.
39. Where is the writer of this passage from?
A. America B. China C. Canada D. England
40. Why is the writer of the passage interested in the book How to make friends with foreigners?
A. Because he wants to have some more close Chinese Friends.
B. Because he has greatly improved his Chinese language skills,
C. Because no Chinese people would like to make friends with him.
D. Because he wants to know about the Chinese writer's advice on this topic.
41. According to the writer of the book How to make friends with foreigners,
.
A. his advice may make foreigners angry
B. it is rude of you to ask a foreigner questions
C. you should choose a good foreigner to practise English with
D. don't waste time on a foreigner who doesn't answer your questions
42. In the fourth paragraph, the writer uses“I have had.." three times，because.
A. he had no better sentences to express his ideas.
B. he wanted to show how he hated to make friends with Chinese.
C. he wanted to show how he hated to be treated as an opportunity".
D. he met Chinese who wanted to make friends with him only three times.
43. Which sentence may be the best to fill in the “ ” in the last paragraph?
A. True friendships stand (经得起) the test of time.
B. Learn about different cultures to make real friends.
C. Friends are about opportunities or personal advantages.
D. There's real friendship between people from different countries.

四、阅读表达阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。(10分)
The FA Cup
The FA Cup is a very special football competition. It is the oldest
football competition in the world as it has been played since 1871. It is
also famous for the number of football teams in England that enter.
More than 700 football teams take part in the competition every year.
That is all of the teams from the four professional (职业的) leagues
and hundreds of small non-professional clubs. These clubs come from
small towns and villages from around England.
Because there are so many teams, it lasts for a very long time. The early games are only
between the small teams. After six matches, the professional teams from the third and fourth
league enter and then, two games later, the biggest clubs from the Premier League.
Often very small clubs will play against big teams. There have been many surprise results in
the past many years. Teams from the fifth league have even won against teams from the Premier
League, but a Premier League team does usually win the competition every year. However, there
is always a chance of seeing a surprise result. As a result, people show great interest in the FA
Cup.
It's amazing that the FA Cup has the power to change a football club, rewrite the past and
shape the future.

单词，每个空格只填一个单词。(10分)Paper is one of our oldest, simplest and most important inventions. It
is the pride of us Chinese, but it also presents a danger to the world.
First, the making of paper requires the loss of many millions of trees
each year. According to The World Counts, between 2001 and 2019, the
world lost a total of 386 million hectares of forest. Of the trees that were
cut down, 42 percent went to paper production. That represents a great
part of the world's forests. And worldwide use of paper is expected to
double in the next 40 years. Clearly, the planet cannot keep such a high rate of forest Loss.
The second great problem with paper is that when the paper is used, it is useless. A great deal
of wastepaper ends up in rubbish and even landfills (废物填埋场)，where it can produce
harmful gases. Paper in landfills causes the release (释放) of methane, a gas that is an
important factor (因素) in climate (气候) change all around the world.
One simple way to help out can greatly reduce both of these problems: paper recycling.
Instead of cutting down trees, recycle used paper to meet the need of paper-making. Effective
recycling requires an effort from everyone all over the world. The way to begin is with education
and understanding. Once enough people realize the need for recycling, more effective recycling
systems can be put into use.
The need is real. The loss of tees influences everybody on earth. Everyone should do their
part to recycle paper and encourage government and industry to do the same. The world will be a
better place for it!
