Nearly all the tourists who come to southeast France make a tour to Monaco（摩纳哥）, too. Lying near the French-Italian border, Monaco is not part of France, but a separate principality（公国）, though it is surrounded by its greatest neighbour.

Monaco became a principality in the 16th century after being owned by a family member of a certain Italian king. The French and Italians, however, soon came to “protect” it one after another, until 1861, when it became its own master again.

Facing the blue Mediterranean（地中海）, Monaco is mainly made up of two cities, Monaco, where the palace of the prince（王子） stands, and Monte Carlo（蒙特卡洛）, which is a wonderful place for tourists. Every year, around half a million people from all parts of the world come to Monaco, nearly 25 times as much as its population.

Believe it or not, Monaco has no soldiers or policemen of its own. Law and order is kept by French police, and French stands for it in its foreign affairs, even the money used in Monaco is franc, too. 56. Monaco is _____________ .

A. another name for Monte Carlo B. mostly visited by French tourists C. surrounded by France D. more related to Italy than to France 57. Which is the right order that tells the history of Monaco?

London is divided into many administrative(行政) units. Greater London, the largest unit, cover 1,605 square miles. The heart of this unit is the City of London. It is surrounded by a ring of 12 boroughs(行政区) called Inner London or Central London, covering 303 square miles, and itself, is again surrounded by a greater ring of oroughs called Outer London with an area of 1,279 square miles.

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Similarly, if we drink a little more water ever day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often. A healthy diet is made up of water and a great many different kinds of foods. We know that healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and fish, are important as they provide us with energy and fibre, without giving us too much fat and sugar. But why is water important?

The human body needs water to survive. Water is important as it carries poisons and waste out of our bodies. However, doctors advise us to drink plenty of water, much more than the small amount we need to stay alive. Some doctors believe that water is important for our health in all kinds of ways. They believe that a great many illnesses and health problems stars as a result of dehydration—a lack(缺少) of water in the body. Most people are dehydrated at least some of time, although they probably don’t know it. It is surprising to learn that if we feel thirsty, we are already in the first stages of dehydration. In fact, we are advised to drink water before we feel thirsty.

These doctors think that health problems such as headaches, high blood pressure and asthma could be helped if people drink more water. They also believe that drinking more water can help people who are overweight. Water contains no calories so it will not make us put on weight. If we drink water, we will probably drink less sugary soft drinks such as Coca-cola. Doctors also believe that drinking more water may stop people from overeating. They say that many people think that they are hungry when they are, in fact, thirsty. Doctors suggest, therefore, that we eat less food and drink more water.

There are still many health problems that cannot be solved by drinking water, so we should not stop going to seeing the doctor completely. However, if we make a decision to drink water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often. 65. We need _____for a healthy diet.

A. fibre B. food C. water D. Water and different foods 66. From the text, we know water can carry_________.

A. energy and fibre in our bodies B. fruit, vegetables and fish in our bodies C. sugar and fat out of our bodies D. poisons and waste out of our bodies

67. Lack of water caused people to put on weight too much because_______.

A. they think they are hungry and eat too much B. they think they are thirsty and eat less C. water has no calories D. it makes them hungry

68. Which of the following isn’t mentioned in the passage?

A. Fruit provides us with energy and fibre.

B. Some healthy problems start because of a lack of water. C. Drinking more water may stop people from overeating. D. The amount of water a person should drink in a day.

This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers(young people aged from13~19)from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.

Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.

Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected—much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.

Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.

“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”

At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize(批评)American schools,” he said. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”

69. This year ________teenagers will take part in the exchange programme between America and other countries.

A. twenty-three hundred B. thirteen hundred C. over three thousand D. less than two thousand

70. The whole exchange programme is mainly to__________.

A. help teenagers in other countries know the real America B. send students in America to travel in Germany C. let students learn something about other countries D. have teenagers learn new languages 71. Fred and Mike agree that__________.

A. America food tasted better than German food B. German schools were harder than American schools C. Americans and Germans were both friendly D. There were more cars on the streets in America 72. What is particular in American schools is that________.

A. there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings B. there are a lot of after-school activities C. students usually take fourteen subjects in all D. students go out side to enjoy themselves in a car

People in the United States love baseball. The best baseball players are stars. Great players are heroes. They are given a place in the baseball Hall of Fame. Roberto Clemente is in the Baseball Hall of Farm. He belongs there. For eight years in a row his batting average was over 300. He was batting champion four times. He was named most valuable player in 1966. He won the 1971 World Series for his team. His average in that series was 414.

But to many people Roberto was a hero not just for his baseball playing, but for his life. He spent it helping others and he died helping others.

He was born in puerto Rico in 1934. His family was large. His parents worked hard to give their children the things they needed. He began to play baseball when he was young. He was so good that he was a star at the age of seventeen. At nineteen he joined a team in the United States. The next year he went to the Pittsburgh Pirates, and played in that team for eighteen years.

Roberto took pride in his career. He was not easy to give up. He went on with the game and played his best even when he was hurt and was in pain. He was proud of his game. He used to say: “For me, I am the best baseball player in the world.” He meant that he believed in himself.

Roberto loved to help others. He found many ways to help people, both in the United States and in Puerto Rico. Later in 1972 there was an earthquake in Nicaragua. Many people were killed and a lot more were hurt. Many were homeless and hungry. Food and clothing were badly needed. Of course Roberto was one of the first to help. He formed a group to get the things that were needed. He was on the plane that was going to deliver them.

The plane crashed in the sea near Puerto Rico. Roberto was killed, but his life still shines like a light in people’s hearts.

73. The main idea of the story is that

A. Roberto Clemente was one of the best baseball stars of all time. B. Roberto Clemente was a fine person who died helping others. C. Roberto Clemente was a fine person as well as a baseball star. D. Roberto Clemente died for helping others.

74. According to the passage, which of the following statement is Not true? A. Baseball is quite popular in the United States.

B. Roberto Clemente shines like a light in people’s hearts because he was a baseball star. C. Roberto Clemente was named the most valuable player when he was 32 years old. D. The Baseball Hall of Fame was built for those baseball players who die for others. 75. What kind of person can Roberto Clemente be described as?

认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空填一个单词。

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 rarely 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: 1.The words “ Never give up” can__1__ others or oneself and express one’s determination. 2.A person who wants to ___2___ should have the quality . So we should never give up.

Conclusions:

If you give up, you will have no__9____of reaching your goals. Never give up and you will attain your goals sooner or ___10____ 第二节：书面表达（满分25分）

Attention, please! I’m going to give you a summary of today’s discussion about whether we would go on-line in our spare time.

Many students think we can go on-line as much as possible in our spare time because we are free then. Through the Internet, we can gain plenty of the newest knowledge and the latest information at home and abroad. What’s more, network offers us a convenient way to communicate with each other. The Internet makes our lives outside class colorful and various.

On the other hand, a few students partly agree to this idea. Going on-line is part of our daily life. But they suggest a time limit. They’ve found that more students are playing computer games or chatting instead of studying their lessons or looking up materials. There are a few students who are often absent from school in order to go on-line for fun.

Thank you.
