11．Whenever we meet with difficulty or failure，teachers，parents or others often say to us or perhaps we say to ourselves，"Never give up．"These can be encouraging words and words of determination．A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails．In my opinion，the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have．Therefore，I believe that we should never give up．
One reason is that if we give up too easily，we will hardly achieve anything．It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new，so we should not feel disappointed and should try again．Besides，if we always give up when we fail，we will not be able to develop new skills and grow．
Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not make the same ones．If we do not try again，the lesson we have learned is wasted．
Finally，we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals，we develop confidence，and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives．If  we never challenge ourselves，we will begin to doubt our abilities．
In short，it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals．Whether we succeed in the end or not，we will learn something，and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident．Furthermore，if we give up，we have no chance of attaining our goals any more，but if we keep making great efforts，there is always a chance that we will succeed one day．
Topic：Never Give Up

Possible meanings and the author's opinions	?The words"Never give up"can （56）encourage others or oneself and express one's determination． ?A person who wants to （57）succeed should have the quality．So we should never give up．
The （58）reasons	?If we give up too easily，maybe we will achieve （59）nothing，so when we fail in our first attempt at something new，we should not（60）disappoint ourselves but try again． ?Always giving up means that we will not be able to （61）make any progress． ?Never giving up will make us learn from the mistakes we've made before and learn the （62）lesson so as not to make the same mistakes． ?To reach our goals and develop the confidence which can help us （63）improveourselves，we must not give up but challenge ourselves．
（64）Conclusion	If you give up，you will have no  （65）chance/opportunityof reaching your goals．Never give up and you will attain your goals sooner or later．

10．在生活中有人喜欢运动，也有人不太喜欢运动，你校就"学校应不应该召开运动会"进行了调查，请根据以下调查结果写一篇150词左右的短文，并简要发表你自己的观点．以下是调查结果：
注意：1．根据要点可适当发挥，但不要逐条翻译；
2．字数150左右．文章开头已经给出，不计入总词数．
3．作文中不得提及考生所在学校和本人姓名．
注：增强体质 build up one's strength
Some people like sport while others not in our life．Recently，our school conducted a survey about whether the school should hold a sports meeting or not，students'opinions are divided on the topic．

9．Directions：Read the following passage．Complete the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage．
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．
Internet shopping is a new way of shopping．You can shop for just about anything from your armchair．All you need is a computer which is linked to the Internet．
People can shop for different kinds of products on the Internet．Physical products（产品） include items such as books，CDs，clothes and foods．You can also buy information products such as on-line news or magazine stories，or you can download computer software through the Internet．Services such as booking airline tickets，reserving（预订） hotels or renting cars are also available on the Internet．You can also go shopping on the Internet for entertainment services such as on-line games or e-mail"chats"．
To find something on the Internet，people often use powerful computer tools called"search engines"．You can search for a type of product，such as sports shoes，or a brand name，such as Nike．The search engine will give you a list of websites where you can find these products．These websites may be specialist shops such as a Nike shop，or they may be general stores，called malls，which sell a variety of goods．
The main disadvantage of Internet shopping is that you can not actually see the products you are buying or check their quality．Also，many people enjoy shopping in the city and miss the opportunity to talk to friends．Some people are worried about paying for goods using credit cards（信用卡），so Internet companies are now finding ways to make on-line payment safe．
Internet shopping is sure to become more and more popular in the years ahead．It promises to change the way we buy all kinds of things----from tonight's dinner to a new car．

8．When I went to England，I enjoyed my stay．But I noticed so many different traditions．
For example，you usually shake hands with people when you meet for the first time．But after that，you can just say hello．You must say Mr and Mrs when you speak to older people，but you can use first names with your friends．
One day we visited some friends and had tea．Tea is not just a drink but a light meal at around 4：00in the afternoon．You can't have tea─the meal─after 4：30．We ate sandwiches and a large fruit cake．You can only drink tea at a tea party，not coffee or juice．And you must drink tea with milk．You must pour the tea，then the milk─you can't put the milk in first，then the tea．
In buses and trains，the other passengers are very quiet，and you mustn't talk too loudly．It's very different from China!In some trains you can't even use your mobile phones!And you don't often hear people shouting in the street．
I was very lucky─I even went to a wedding．It was very different from a Chinese wedding．For example，the man and the woman can't see each other the night before the wedding．Then the woman mustn't arrive at the church on time but a few minutes late．And at the party after the wedding，the woman throws her flowers over her shoulder．The girl who catches them will be the next to marry!It was all very strange but it was great fun!

Advice for Visitors：Traditional Life in England

7．In the days before bootleg（非法销售）DVDs，anyone who lived in China during the early 1990s will remember how terribly exciting it was when a foreign film was screened ln the cinema．Only 20foreign films a year were allowed to be shown in Chinese cinemas until February 2012．
The US film industry has shown a lot of interest in developing its business in China．The reasons for this are clear． China has a population of over 1.3billion and，with the standard of living rising all the time，the US film industry wants a slice （一片）of the profits．There are thousands of new cinemas being added throughout China．Technology is also improving all the time，meaning that more and more cinemas are able to show films in 3D or IMAX format（形式）．
There is now a greater possibility of the US film industry earning more from the Chinese market．Now an agreement has been signed that will allow the number of foreign films a year to be increased to 34．This agreement with China will offer thousands of Americans jobs in and around the film industry．In addition，studios will be able to get 25%of the box office proceeds（收益），This was previously limited to about 13.5%． The real winners of the agreement will be The China Film Group and the Chinese cinema owners who make the largest profits．
The new deal is a huge step in the right direction．Even better．it will hopefully cut down on the Chinese bootleg DVD industry，which has long taken advantage of the fact that most Western films won't be shown in Chinese cinemas．

Title：Why China is important to the US film industry
（76）Introduction	During the early 1990s，people felt very（77）excitedwhen a foreign film was introduced to China． Only 20films from abroad could be shown in Chinese cinemas until February 2012．

6．Parents who smoke often open a window or turn on a fan to clear the air for their children，but experts now have identified a related threat to children's health that isn't as easy to get rid of：third-hand smoke．

5．阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意问题后的词数要求）
【1】A meal in the US used to last for hours．People would sit around a table，talking，eating and drinking late into the evening．However，that just doesn't happen any more．The average meal is 11 minutes long---with some breakfasts and lunches lasting barely 2 minutes．
【2】But is eating at such a fast pace problem？Should we be concerned？The answer is"yes"and here are some of the reasons you should eat more slowly：
【3】Eating slowly helps lose weight．Studies show that"fullness"is a complex concept that combines the number of times you chew，the time you spend eating，the look of the food on the plate，as well as the actual amount of food you eat．Slow down and you may have a sense of fullness without eating as much as you eat fast．
【4】When you eat slowly，you end up tasting your food more．This is good because the more you pay attention to your foods，the more you'll prefer natural foods．Here's why：Most factory-produced foods taste great for the first 3 or so bites．After that they begin to taste uninteresting．If you slow down to chew them thoroughly，they'll taste pretty disgusting．Natural foods，however，stay interesting as you chew them．
【5】Eating can be a social event．Meals are a time when people gather and spend time together．Once the meal is over，everyone goes their separate ways．By taking more time at a meal，you'll be able to talk with your friends and family more，improve relationships and feel more connected．
【6】Eating slower gives your stomach more time to start working on the food．When you send an entire meal down your throat in 5 minutes，you may find yourself suffering from poor digestion．Instead，take 20 minutes to eat the same amount of food．Your stomach will have a much easier job．Eating slower might also result in you chewing more，giving your stomach a head start in the digestive process．

76．What is the main idea of the first paragraph？（no more than 8 words）
Americans are eating much faster．/People in the US are eating much faster．
77．Why can eating slowly help with weight loss？（ no more than 10 words）
Because it may make people feel full with less．
78．What is the difference between factory-produced foods and natural foods？（no more than 15 words）
When chewed，factory-produced foods will change greatly in taste while natural foods won't．
79．According to the passage，how can the effect of eating slowly on relationship building be best described？（one word）
Beneficial/Helpful/Contributory
80．What is the purpose of Paragraph 6？（no more than 8 words）
To indicate/show that eating slowly improves digestion．

4．In 1819，a Danish scientist named Hans Christian Oersted discovered the close relationship between electricity and magnetism through an experiment．His discovery led to the study of electromagnetism（电磁）．Try Oersted's experiment yourself!
Materials you will need：a small non-metal bowl，a needle（针），a magnet，two wires（电线），a power pack（电源组）．___________：1．Touch the needle 50times from the center to one end with the magnet．Place it in a bowl of water．2．Watch the movement of the needle when you put the magnet near it．3．Place the wire over the top of the bowl．4．Link one end of the wire to the switch．5．Link both ends of the wire to the ends of the power pack．6．Close the switch．
Now you've done the experiment that Oersted did and have known that there's a magnetic field around the wire when the electric current（电流）is flowing．When the current flows，the needle turns aside．
This experiment is one of the most important in the use of electric power，and led to the discovery of electromagnetism and the development of the electric engine．

76．What should you watch during the experiment？
The movement of the needle．
77．What's the passage mainly about？（Please answer within 8words）
How to do Oersted's experiment．
78．Fill in the blank with appropriate words．（Please answer within 6words．）
Steps to take
79．Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one？The ends of the wire should be connected with the ends of the power pack．
Link both ends of the wire to the ends of the power pack．
80．Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4into Chinese．
这个实验是电能使用最重要的实验之一，它导致了电磁的发现推动了电动机的发展．．

3．New Job，Same Company：Learning the Ropes
Starting a new job means learning the ropes at an unfamiliar place，but it can be harder for those faced with a new position within the same company．It's happening more these days as companies downsize．Whether you are moving from one job in your own department to another or suddenly answering to a new boss，you need to take steps to avoid the difficulties of office politics and work overload．
•Learn the new rules． Just because you are still in the same company，doesn't mean you will be playing by the same rules．Take the time to learn how things operate in your new work situation．Do not say"It's easy to think，I know the company，and I've been here for 20 years．"It's really important not to think that it's the same．
•Talk it out．When moving from one job to another，you are likely to have twice the work．You might be eager to start the new job，but who will take over your old role？What are your new job responsibilities？Besides，if you're asked to take on work in addition to what you do now，ask what you should do first and find out who you will report to for the new responsibilities．
•Stay open．Reorganization usually leads to worry among employees，whether it's a favorite co-worker whose place you'll be taking or former peers who now report to you．You'll be bringing whatever old baggage you have and dealing with the worries of new colleagues．Don't be surprised by push-back from co-workers who may see your new role as a danger to them．Be open with your colleagues about your role and how it fits into the group．
•Keep relationships．While you may have a new set of colleagues，keeping relationships with old co-workers and managers is important，particularly in such a difficult work environment．But stop by to invite a former boss to coffee．You might some day go back to work with them．
1．Who is the passage written for？Those faced with anew position within the same company．
2．How much work are you likely to have when moving from one job to another？Twice the work．
3．What does reorganization usually lead to？Worry among employees．
4．Why is it important to keep relationships with your old colleagues？Because you might some day go back to work with them．．
