For example, each class 2 fifty minutes in the US. It is a little 3 than that in China. We usually have forty or forty-five minutes in each class. Another difference is that they have less break time between 4 . Besides, although most schools in both countries finish their 5 classes at 12 o’clock, the students in the US only have an hour-long break, so they 6 eat lunch quickly. Their afternoon classes begin at 1:00 p.m. and school is over 7 3:00 p.m. Then they take part in club activities or play sports.Many Chinese students don’t work during their high school years, while the US students like to find a part-time job in 8 free time. They don’t have a dream job in mind. They think 9 is no difference between jobs. Working is a useful experience for them and they can make money at the same time. Some of them even take one-year full-time jobs 10 they leave high school and then go to college.（）1.A. no B. few C. little D. some（）2.A. lasts B. finishes C. starts D. stays（）3.A. shorter B. longer C. earlier D. later（）4.A. schools B. classes C. meals D. students（）5.A. day B. night C. morning D. afternoon （）6.A. can’t B. mustn’t C. need to D. are able to （）7.A. in B. for C. during D. around（）8.A. my B. his C. their D. your（）9.A. it B. there C. that D. this（）10.A. after B. with C. while D. during三、阅读理解（30分）A（）1.Zoe wants to become a(n) .A. doctorB. engineerC. teacherD. musician（）2.Who loves children?A.

As he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped. He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains(锁链), no cages. It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not.He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn’t try to get away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hol d them. As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free.”How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. But because they always stuck right whe re they were, they believed they couldn’t.Just like the elephants, how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something, just because we failed at it once before?We should never give up the struggle(挣扎) in life.（）6.What did the writer see in the village?A.

He had a few caps in his hand. In the forest there were a lot of monkeys, he was hot, so he decided to have a rest under a tree. He put a cap on his head and lay down to sleep.When he woke up, he couldn’t find his caps, “Where are my caps?” he cried and looked up. He saw some monkeys in the tree. Each had a cap on its head.“Give back my caps!” shouted the man to the monkeys. But the monkeys didn’t understand him. They only jumped, danced and laughed.“How can I get back my caps?” he thought hard. At last he had an idea. He took off his cap and threw it on the ground. The little monkeys did the same thing. Happily the man picked up all the caps and went on his way.根据短文内容判断下列句子的正（T）误（F）。
