As I lay there bleeding, I suddenly realized that I might have to live the rest of my life without legs. How depressed I was at that moment! But then I realized that depression wouldnt get my legs back. So I decided not to waste my life feeling depressed. When my parents arrived at the hospital, they stood there quietly, looked so shocked and sad. I told them, “Ive already accepted the fact. Now you also have to get used to this.”Ever since then, I often see my friends getting worried about little things: their bus comes late; they get bad grades on a test. But I just enjoy life.I am lucky to realize that it is a waste of energy to focus on what you have lost, and that the key to happiness is to take pleasure in what you have. Sounds simple, doesnt it? So why are many people unhappy?People often think happiness is based on what they achieve. “My whole life would improve if I had a new car.” But when you get the car and what happens? For a whole week you are walking on air. Then you go right back to being unhappy.Happiness is not a happening; its a state of mind. Even though you have the whole world and youll still be unsatisfied. And you have relatively(相对地) little but feel full of joy. Happiness comes from mastering the art of enjoying and taking pleasure in what you already have.（1）After the accident, the author didnt feel depressed anymore because_. A . the doctors could help him get his legs back.B . he must comfort his parents at that time.C . he knew depression made no difference to him.D . he was just a childish and forgettable kid.（2）In the authors opinion, the main cause of most peoples unhappiness is they_. A . dont want to achieve more for future.B . pay so much and get so little.C . always compare with others.D . pay so much attention to what they have lost.（3）In paragraph 5, when the man gets the car he had expected_. A . he will choose to walk on foot for a week.B . the car will bring a lasting happiness to him.C . he will find the car is no help for him at allD . he will go back to be unhappy after a few days（4）The author wants to tell us _. A . how one person enjoys a life without legsB . we should forget the loss and the gains in lifeC . happiness is just a state of mindD . our life will be improved if we fight for our dreams.19. （8分）根据短文理解，选择正确答案。Do you want to live a happier, less stressful(有压力的) life? Try laughing for no reason at all. Thats how millions of people start their day at Laughter(笑声) Clubs around the world and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr. Kataria. “Everyone is naturally good at laughingits the common language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 in the world.Many doctors are also interested in the effects(效果) of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest, I wasnt interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking silly. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha” while looking at each other. However, our bodies cant tell the difference between real laughter and unreal laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real and some people just couldnt stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if youre under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results.（1）The first Laughter Club was started in _.A . IndiaB . AmericaC . BritainD . China（2）How many Laughter Clubs are there in the world today?A . Over 300.B . Over 500.C . Over 1,800.D . Over 1,300.（3）How did the writer feel at the beginning of the class?A . Surprised.B . Pleased.C . Nervous.D . Tired.（4）The article mainly tells us _.A . young children laugh much more often than adults in a dayB . laughing is one of the best ways to stay healthyC . many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our healthD . real laughter and unreal laughter are both good for health20. （8分） For many years scientists have said that the earth is getting warmer. Now they have found something new-hot cities! In the southern US, they have found that cities become very hot in summer. For example, the city of Atlanta in Georgia has roof(屋顶) temperature of up to 50oC while it is 27 in the streets! At night, the outside of buildings stays so hot that the heat of the city causes storms over the city!China also has the same kind of problems. Every year more farmland is used for factories or offices. More housing is needed, too. As people become richer, they buy more cars. New roads are needed and new car parks are built in the city centers. This all makes cities hotter.It isnt easy to change the situation. City planners say that we should plant more trees in the middle of cities. Every new street should have trees on both sides, they say. Trees make the temperature lower, so we should have more trees in our parks and squares. We should also paint our roofs white. If we do this, they do not become so hot. Every roof in a hot and sunny country should have solar(太阳的) roof panels. The electricity from these can be used to run the air conditioners (空调)in the buildings.People continue to cut down forests around the cities. This makes the problem worse. Cities are growing faster and faster. By the year 2025, four fifths(五分之四) of the population will be living in cities. If we go on like this, there will not be enough farmland to feed everyone in the world（1）The scientists have found .A . cities become very hot in summerB . Atlanta is the hottest city in AmericaC . there are not as many storms as beforeD . it is not as hot on the roof as in the street（2）The way to make the city cooler is to .A . plant more treesB . try to use air conditioners moreC . build more parks and squaresD . paint the roofs of all the white buildings（3）What will probably happen in the future according to the fourth paragraph(段落)?A . Cities wont grow very fast.B . We will not have enough food.C . Most people will move to the countryside.D . People will plant more trees outside the cities.（4）What is the best title(题目)for the passage?A . More Farmland Is NeededB . Trees Make Cities CoolerC . Cities Are Getting HotterD . Scientists Are Worried About Storms四、 词汇运用 (共10题；共10分)21. （1分）The bus r_ is never boring because I always talk to my classmates. 22. （1分）Mark，now you cant _(洗淋浴) 23. （1分）根据下列句子及所给汉语注释，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式，每空只写一词。There are more than two _(千) students in our school.He didnt go to bed _(直到)his father returned home.My mother was busy cooking in the_(厨房).It is _(可能) for us to finish the work in such a short time .Tonny has been _(收集) seashells for four years.24. （1分）用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。 （1）Who is_(lie)under the tree?（2）My brother decided_(help)Jenny with math（3）Could you please help me_(do)the dishes?（4）-Would you like to eat Chinese food?-No, thanksI want to taste something_(usual)（5）The shy girl is sitting there in_(silent)25. （1分）I dont want to make a wrong d_ and regret (后悔) it later. 26. （1分）阅读下面短文，按照句子结构和上下文连贯的要求在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。Same was _ excellent boy and most classmates loved him.

There has been much debate over whether air cleaners should be used in Chinas schools. Some parents have donated cleaners to their childrens classrooms, while others raise money together to make the purchase(购买). “Our school bought air cleaners last year. We did a little fund raising, with each parent throwing in several hundred for that,” said one parent.However, the idea of installing air cleaners for all the classes has been refused by some schools. Liu Liangcheng, vice-principal of Beijings Taipinglu Primary School, says installing air cleaners bought by parents may lead to problems. “We have refused air cleaners bought by parents before, as there are clear and strict rules against educational fees. We cant just break the rules here. And without standard guidance (指示) from local authorities(权威部门), it is hard to decide on the brand of the cleaner, installation and even safety of the device(设备).”Moreover, experts say air cleaners can cause other health problems. Deng Gaofeng who works for the China Academy of Building Research says. “ In the classroom, if we keep windows and doors closed, the concentrations (浓度) of CO2 will double from 1,000 PPM to some 2,000 PPM. According to national safety standards, the highest level should not be more than 1,500.” In addition, experts say air cleaners on the market are mostly designed for homes or offices. Evaluation(评估) is needed to know whether they are suitable in classrooms.It seems whether air cleaners should enter Chinas schools is an ongoing question. It still requires a more detailed plan.阅读以上信息，用恰当的单词完成下面的表格，每空一词。Topic : Should air cleaners be installed for students in school?Persons_ParentsThey support the installation of the air cleaners by_money to make the purchase.Schools Installing air cleaners bought by parents breaks the rules of educational fees. Considering the safety of the device, we have difficulty making a _about which one to buy.Experts They think air cleaners may be_to students health.
