Some children think that they go to school just to learn their mother tongue, English and other foreign languages, mathematics, geography, history, science and a few other subjects. But why do they learn these thing? Are these the only things they should learn at school?Actually children go to school to prepare themselves for the time when they will be grown up and will have to support themselves. Nearly everything they study at school has some practical use in their lives, but there is one more important reason why children go to school.There is more to education than just learning facts. We go to school above all to learn how to learn .Learning is not just for school but for life. So even after we have left school, we have to continue to learn. A man who really knows how to learn will always be successful because whenever he is faced with a completely new task or problem, he will teach himself how to deal with it in the best way. Therefore, children do not go to school just to learn languages ,mathematics, geography, etc. They go to school to learn how to learn.36 _________ children really know why they go to school.A AllB MostC NoD Few37 The most important reason why children should go to school is that _______A. they need the company of other childrenB it trains them for the time when they have to take care of themselvesC they are too young to workD their parents have no time to look after them38 Even after we have left school , we have to continue to learn because_______A Everything we studied at school doesn’t have any practical useB learning is not just for school but for lifeC we did n’t study well in schoolD we were not successful in learning39 An educated person is able to do something completely new because ______A. he knows how to calculate sums B he has learned quite a lot at schoolC he has learned how to learnD he is slow in learning new things40 From the passage it can be inferred that ______A the task of a college education is to prepare everyone to be a self-educating manB learning languages, mathematics and geography is necessary but not importantC a well-educated man is able to sole every new problem he meetsD the aim of educated is to teach students to remember factsBMy friend Matt and I arrived at the Activity Centre on Friday evening.

Cameron had come along with two friends，Kevin and Simon，while sisters Carole and Lynn had come with Amanda. There were some other members I didn't know. We had come from different places and none of us knew the area.We knew we were going to spend the weekend outdoors，but none of us was sure exactly how. Half of us spent the morning caving while the others went rock-climbing and then we changed at lunchtime. Matt and I went to the caves(岩洞) first.

When you are ill，you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot，and there are pains all over your body. You don't want to work，you stay in bed，feeling very sad.What makes us ill? It is germs(细菌). Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can't find them with your eyes，but you can see them with a microscope. They are very small and there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing.Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope，we shall see them in it. So your father and mother will not let you drink dirty water.Germs aren't found only in water. They are found in air and dust. If you cut your finger，if some of the dust from the floor goes into the cut(割开处)，some of the germs would go into your finger. Your finger would become big and red，and you will have much pain in it. Sometimes the germs would go into all of your body，and you would have pain everywhere.46. Which of the following is TRUE?A. If things are very small，they are germs.B. If things can't be seen，they must be germs.C. Germs are only in dirty water.D. Germs are everywhere around us.47. What is a microscope used for?A. Making very small things look much bigger.B. Making very big things look much smaller.C. Helping you read some newspapers.D. Helping you if you can't see things clearly.48 . Why don't your parents let you drink dirty water?A.

Take care of your fingers.DHundreds of years ago，a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots，a brave people，loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight，my men,” he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.”They were all very tired，so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty，but they，too，were very tired，and one by one，also fell asleep.The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside，taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it. But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.51. Hundreds of years ago there was a war between ________.A. Roman army and North EnglandB.

In cities, the main meal is usually served in the evening, at about 7:00 or 7:00 pm… Many people who work in large cities such as New York or Washington D.C. leave their offices an hour or more before dinner time. In general, however, Americans dine relatively early; 6:30 pm is a quite common time for dinner. On farms, however, the main meal may be served at noon, probably because people who live on farms begin their day so much earlier than those who live in cities.56hen is the main meal served in cities?____________________________________________________________________________ ___57 When do many people in large cities leave their office?____________________________________________________________________________ ___58 What time is quite common for dinner in general?____________________________________________________________________________ ___59 On farms, when may the main meal be served?____________________________________________________________________________ ___60 .Who begin their day earlier ,people in cities or on farms?____________________________________________________________________________ ___六写作（25分）给你的好朋友小明写一封信,不少于80字,内容为:1 询问对方现在的学习情况,2介绍自己的情况,3 邀请对方来自己的城市玩参考答案一1-5 CBDBA二6-10 CBDAC11-15 DAAAD 16-20 AABDD三21-25DCAAC 26-30 BCBAD 31-35 CCBCD四A 36 -40 DBBCA 41 -45 DDCAB 46 -50 DACDA 51 -55BBDAD 五56 .
