One morning, Wu Liang discovered that her classroom had changed. She found that the desks were no longer in rows, but pushed together to make eight bigger desks. She was so excited about it for the first two days that she couldn’t listen to the teachers carefully. But soon she and her classmates got used to this new classroom arrangement. “Now our class is quieter,” said Wu. “What’s more, we can come up with our own ideas and learn more through discussion. It’s a better way to study.”
Li Yu liked it, too. “Group members first discuss,” he said, “and then present to the whole class. It makes us believe in ourselves.” This was part of a reform (改革) at Li’s school. The school made this reform because they wanted to offer students easier ways to study and more chances to discuss. “Our school hopes to improve students’ abilities to study by themselves and work in groups,” said Zhang Ming, an English teacher.
However, the reform has demanded more from teachers. Now they have only 15 minutes to give a lesson that would have been taught in 45 minutes before. It is difficult to teach in such a short time. The teachers have to find better ways to teach more effectively.
“The reform demands more, but I’m sure it is helpful,” added Zhang Ming.
34、It was easier for Wu Liang to ________ in class after the new classroom arrangement.
A.discuss with other students B.sit in the classroom
C.push desks together D.teach a lesson
35、The school made the reform in order to offer students ________ to study.
A.larger space B.easier ways
C.more seats D.better classrooms
36、Which of the following sentences is wrong
A.Wu Liang and her classmates like the new classroom arrangement.
B.The desks are no longer in rows now.
C.The reform has demanded more from teachers.
D.It’s easy for teachers to give a lesson in 15 minutes now.
37、The best title of this passage may be “________”.
A.Discussion in Class B.New Look in Class
C.Students’ Friendship D.Teachers’ Hope
“I feel unlikable, lonely and hopeless,” said Lisa, a bright teenager from a loving home. “It seems that nobody wants to become my friend. What’s wrong with me ”
Like Lisa, many of us experience loneliness. The truth is that all people, no matter what their age or character — even the most outgoing, wealthy and popular — experience loneliness at least sometimes. It’s healthy and natural to want to be around people who care. After all, we’ve all heard “No man is an island.” That’s true. We all need others in our lives.
Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, explains that if we want friends, we must be friendly and reach out to others. But it has risk. Because we are often afraid of rejection (拒绝), many of us are unwilling to reach out to others. We take a safer way and wait for others to make friends with us. But if we want friends, we’ve got to get beyond this.
If making friends is your goal as well, you need to consider taking some measures (措施).
Be willing to take the initiative (主动权). If you see someone whom you would like to know, don’t wait for her to make the first move. Get close to her and begin a conversation. Let her know in a non aggressive (无攻击性的) way that you are interested in being friends with her.
Reach out to those who are lonely. When you see someone at school sitting alone, go over and talk to her. And don’t let popularity decide whom you reach out to. You’ll often be surprised at the beautiful qualities behind a shy appearance.
Ask questions. Start your first conversation by asking this possible friend what she likes to do or asking about her family. Be sure to ask questions that cannot be replied with “yes” or “no”. For example, don’t ask “Do you have a dog ” Instead, say “So, tell me about your pets.” Avoiding asking “yes” or “no” questions makes your possible friend not end your communication with a one word answer.
38、Why does the author begin the text with Lisa’s worry
A.To set a sad tone. B.To share Lisa’s pain.
C.To introduce the topic. D.To teach readers a lesson.
39、What can be a risk caused by reaching out to others according to the passage
A.Being refused by others. B.Putting ourselves in danger.
C.Being treated in a rude way. D.Losing interest in communicating.
40、What can we know from Paragraph 5
A.Shy people are hard to talk to.
B.Popular people are often easy going.
C.Just waiting for chances will waste our time.
D.A proper manner is important in making friends.
41、Why does the author suggest not asking “yes”or “no”questions
A.It is considered unfriendly.
B.It will leave a bad first impression.
C.It shows the poor quality of the speaker.
D.It isn’t good for keeping a conversation going.
Sport is not only physically challenging, but can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical,emotional, or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.
The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents' and coaches' criticisms to heart and find flaws in themselves.
Coaches and parents should also pay attention that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today's youth sport setting young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters' performances. Positive support should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive support motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress,which can lead to burnout.
42、An effective way to prevent the bumout of young athletes is________.
A.to make sport less competitive
B.to increase their sense of success
C.to reduce their mental stress
D.to make sport more challenging
43、According to the passage, sport is positive for young people in that________.
A.it can help them learn more about society
B.it enables them to find flaws in themselves
C.it can provide them with valuable experiences
D.it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves
44、According to the passage, parents and coaches should________.
A.pay more attention to letting children enjoy sport
B.help children to win every game
C.train children to cope with stress
D.enable children to understand the positive aspect of sport
45、The author's purpose in writing the passage is ________.
A.to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout
B.to persuade children not to worry about criticism
C.to stress the importance of positive support to children
D.to discuss the skill of combining criticism with encouragement

③空处是段落标题，需统领段落内容，其需和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式。段落内容"This can make you less nervous when you're traveling alone for the first time. Besides, when you book your hotel, ask if they will send a driver to pick you up.(这可以让你在第一次独自旅行时不那么紧张。另外，当你预定酒店的时候，问问他们是否会派司机来接你) "解释了预定酒店的好处，以及需要注意的点，由此推知空处和预订酒店相关。因此A项"Book hotels ahead of time.(提前预定酒店)"契合段落内容，可以作为小标题。故选A。
④前文"If you're going to a touristy place like Thailand, there are lots of other people who are traveling alone.(如果你要去像泰国这样的旅游胜地，那里有很多人是独自旅行的) "说明去一些旅游胜地的话可以遇到同样独自旅行的人，后文"They might also ask you to join them for dinner or a beer. (他们也可能会邀请你和他们一起吃晚餐或喝啤酒"进一步描述这些人可能的友好行为，由此推知空处会描述这些人愿意交流。因此F项"Most likely,they'll be easy to talk to and they'll want to communicate.(最有可能的是，他们很容易交谈，他们愿意交流) "符合语境，承前启后，其中的they指代前文的lots ofother people who are traveling alone。故选F。
⑤前文"Your family and friends love you and probably worry about you every day, so text them and let them know what you're up to throughout your trip.(你的家人和朋友爱你，可能每天都在担心你，所以给他们发短信，让他们知道你在旅途中都做了什么）"建议告知身边的人自己的情况，后文"And in case something did happen, they'll know where you are.（万一发生什么事，他们会知道你在哪里) "说明这样做的好处，由此推知空处和告知别人你身处何处的好处相关。因此C项"That will make you and them feel safer.(这会让你和他们感到更安全) "符合语境，承接
前文，和后文是并列关系，其中的That指代前文的text them and let them know what you're up to throughout your trip,them指代前文的Your family andfriends。故选C。

58、答案：
Dear Tom,
Knowing you are interested in my travel plan that I am going to visit Beijing during the winter vacation, I am writing to tell you something about it.
Frist of all, on arriving in Beijing by train, I plan to go to Tian’anmen Square and the Forbidden City, where I will visit the old impressive royal houses. The Palace Museum and the Great Wall are a good choice for the next day, because I can appreciate Chinese traditional culture. In addition, I am interested in sports, so I will pay a visit to Bird’s Nest. What’s the most important for me is to taste local food, such as roast duck and instant boiled mutton.
I am eager to have the trip, for I think it is a good chance to experience Chinese culture. Looking forward to your sharing your trip.
Yours,
Li Hua
