Each passage is followed by several questionsor unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose theone that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AWhen a child is told he is "uncool", it can be very painful. He may say he doesn't care, andeven act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose. But ultimately, these are simply ways to handle sadness by pretending it's not there.Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful. If you say, "Why are you worried aboutwhat other children think about you? It doesn't matter!" children know that it does matter. Instead,an active way may be best. You could say, "I'm going to do a couple of things for you to help youfeel better in school."If a boy is having trouble making friends, the teacher can help him. The teacher can arrangethings so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how theother children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a child's popularity in the group by showing that he values that child. It even helps to put him in a seat nextto a very popular child, or let him be a partner with that child in activities, etc.There are things that parents can do at home, too. Be friendly when your child brings othershome to play. Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider "super".When you plan trips, picnics, movies, and other shows, invite another child with whom your child wantsto be friends.What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out. Then,if he has good qualities, he can start to build real friendship of his own.56. A child who has been informed of being "uncool" may ________.A. care nothing about itB. develop a sense of angerC. do something uncool purposelyD. pretend to get hurt very much57.

The passage mainly talks about ________.A. how to help an unpopular childB. why some children are unpopularC. who is responsible for unpopular childrenD. how to find out good points of unpopular childrenBSHANGHAI--Partly because of a string of malfunctions and the July 23 train crash in Wenzhou, the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway was not as popular in its first month of operation as many had expected.In a news release on Monday, the Ministry of Railways said the railway had transported 5.26 million passengers from July 1 to July 31, or 170,000 passengers a day on average.And an average of 179 trains including both those that run at 200 km/h and at 300 km/h trains - were on the line every day, and the trains had an occupancy rate (上座率) of 107%, the ministry said. To many who traveled, that last figure no doubt seems puzzling. How, after all, could carriages that were often half empty have been 107% occupied? Zhao Jian, professor at Beijing Jiaotong University, said the figure is not a good reflection of reality. He accounted for it by noting that a seat aboard one of the trains would be said to have a 200% occupancy rate if one passenger had sat in it from Beijing to Tianjin and then another passenger had occupied the same seat from Suzhou to Shanghai. Despite the impressiveness of those figures, travelers will find, perhaps to their surprise, that they will have little trouble buying tickets to ride the 1,318-km-long high-speed rail line. By 7:30 pm on Monday, passengers could still buy 754 second-class tickets and 148 first-class tickets for a high-speed train that is to leave from Shanghai for Beijing on Tuesday afternoon, according to the China Railway Customer Service Center's website. The train contains 1,066 seats.The story was different for those who want to travel by air between Shanghai and Beijing. Luo Zhuping, board secretary of China Eastern Airlines, said seats on the company's flights on that route are selling well: 90 percent of them continue to be occupied.The situation was different in the first week after the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed train began operating on the last day of Junc. The airline then saw the number of travelers using its service fall by 20 percent and began offering generous discounts to draw in more passengers. Few such incentives are being given now, he said. Still, passengers have not totally abandoned high-speed rails in the days following the Wenzhou train crash, which has killed 40 passengers and injured 191.61. Which of the following is NOT true about the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed train?A. It began operating on June 30th.B. There are trains that run at different speeds.C. An average of 179 trains were on the line every day.D. On average, 5.26 million passengers take it a day in July.62. What made many people who traveled puzzled?A. The train's speed.B. The number of the trains.C. The train's occupancy rate.D. The seats number of the train.63. According to Zhao Jian, the occupancy rate of the train is ________.A. unrealB. inaccurateC. unbelievableD. unreasonable64. What can we infer from the words of the board secretary of China Eastern Airlines?A. Airlines offer more discount to attract passengers.B. The high-speed railway has a great impact on airlines.C. Airlines aren't affected by high-speed railway so much.D. The high-speed railway is much more popular than airlines.65. What can we know from the 4th paragraph?A. The distance from Belling to Shanghai is 2018 km.B. Passengers can buy tickets only at 7:30 pm on Monday.C. There is some trouble buying the tickets from Shanghai to Belling.D. There are 754 second-class seats and 148 first-class seats in a train.CPredicting when an earthquake or volcanic eruption will take place is extremely difficult, even with the advanced technological equipment available to modern scientists. There are some people, however, who believe they can sense when a major geological(地质学上的) event is coming. They claim to be "earthquake sensitive".Sensitivity to the earth's movements, according to those who say they have it, is revealed in different ways. Some say they are unusually clumsy and keep dropping things and having small accidents just before a big event. Others suddenly have a strong desire to eat popcorn, and don' t know why. Though it may sound crazy, they say it tells them that a big earthquake is less than 24 hours away.The most common sign of an approaching disaster among earthquake sensitive people is said to be a bad headache. Arguably the first person to connect her own headaches to coming geological events was an American woman called Charlotte, King. She became famous for her prediction of the eruption of Washington's Mr. St. Helens on May 18, 2018, when she was accurate to within 12 minutes of the actual event.King was tested by doctors and scientists and found to possess unusual hearing abilities. She could hear sounds in frequencies that most human beings cannot, and claimed to have been hearing such sounds since66. It is stated in the first paragraph that there may be ________.A. people who are able to detect earthquake activityB. people who are developing new methods of preventing earthquakesC. new machines to help earthquake sensitive people make predictionsD. new machines that will soon be able to accurately predict earthquakes67. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. Charlotte KingB. A magical abilityC. Human vs MachineD. Earthquake and volcanic eruption68. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a sign of an approaching earthquake?A. A very loud noise.B. A painful headache.C. An urge to eat popcorn.D. A tendency to drop things.69. Charlotte King became well known because she ________.A. timed an earthquake to within 12 minutesB. correctly predicted a big volcanic eruptionC. can make sounds other people cannot hearD. is smarter than many doctors and scientists70. What enables Charlotte King to predict a geological event?A. The headache.B. The frequency of a sound.C. Her special hearing ability.D. The pitch or rhythm of a sound.PART FOUR WRITING (45 marks)SECTION A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.American public education has changed in recent years. One change is that increasing numbers of American parents and teachers are starting independent public schools called charter schools. In 2018, there were no charter schools in the Unite States.Today, more than 2018 charter schools operate in 34 states and the District of Columbia. 575. 000 students attend these schools. The students are from 5 years of age through 18 or older.A charter school is created by groups of parents, teachers and community members. It is similar in some ways to a traditional public school. It receives tax money to operate a number of students. The charter school must prove to local or state governments that its students are learning. These governments provide the school with the agreement, or charter that permits it to operate.Unlike a traditional public school, however, the charter school does not have to obey most laws governing public schools. Local, state or federal governments cannot tell it what to teach.Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach those goals. Class sizes are usually smaller than in many traditional public schools. Many students and parents say teachers in charter schools can be more creative.However, stateeducation agencies, local education-governing committees and unions often oppose charter schools. They say these schools may receive money badly needed by traditional public schools. Experts say some charter schools are doing well while others are struggling.Congress provided 200 million dollars for establishing charter schools in the 2018 federal budget. But, often the schools say they lack enough money for programs. Many also lack needed space, District officials say they have provided 14 former school buildings for charter education. Yet charter school supporters say officials should try harder to find more space.Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to Chinese students they always say, "My spoken English is poor," However, their spoken English does not have to remain "poor". 1 would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is-positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking, your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English as quickly and well as you can even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense. But it doesn't matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. If you have this proactive outlook, then; you will see English opportunities wherever you go.If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget that English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.81.
