I believe it is a normal thought in todays society to just let life happen to us. I also believe that we sometimes destroy（毁灭） our well-planned thoughts about success because its easier to just continue as usual rather than try with the possible failure in mind.Most people never get moving because they dont know what they want. Without a certain result already set in your mind, its really difficult to get going, and even if you do, your attention may soon disappear and you give up before long.Why not consider whats really important in your life? Write down what excites you, what would truly make you happy and what problems you have. At the end of the week, take a careful look at the notes youve taken .Youll soon begin to see a clearer picture of what direction you should be going towards.Knowledge is useless without action. You read many books but your life will stay the same if you dont use the knowledge. Knowledge is fantastic but it will not change your life until it is used. I love to read personal development material to keep a positive attitude(积极的态度) towards my life , but I also realize that if I dont set goals to achieve, then I will always be a talk the talk person who is great at giving advice but useless at realizing it .If you have no plans of practicing what you say, then it may be best to keep your mouth closed.Do you want to know who you are? Dont ask, Act! Action will explain you. Whatever excuses we have for not living up to our talent, the fact is that time will always move forward. Be whatever you want to be and whatever you can be. Always remember the only limits(限制）we have are the ones we create for ourselves. Life is not what we think. It is what we experience when we behave according to the thoughts we have.（1）What will happen if you have the possible failure in your mind? A . You will destroy your well-planned thoughts about success.B . Youll have great pressure and try not to make any mistakes.C . You will try your best and come up with a much better plan.D . Youll put all the opportunities to good use to try your plan.（2）In Paragraph Two, the writer wants to . A . tell us what people need to get successB . show us what people set in their mindC . talk about why people should practiceD . explain why people stop going ahead（3）What does the underlined part a talk the talk person mean in the passage? A . A person who is good at giving talks.B . A person who talks big but does nothing.C . A person who is active in talking.D . A person who is an energetic talker.（4）Which of the following is NOT true of the passage? A . Knowledge is fantastic when its used, or its useless.B . Knowledge is useless without action.C . Success always stops us from succeeding but ourselves.D . Action will tell you who you are.（5）What is the best title for the passage? A . See a Clear Picture of LifeB . Taking Actions Leads to SuccessC . Set Your Goals to AchieveD . Actions Speak Louder than Words17. （10分）根据表格内容，选择正确的答案，并将其字母标号填入题前括号内。(B)Hi, friends! What do you like to do after school?

They play many different kinds of musiceverything from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven. Both children and adults love this group. What makes them so popular? Is it their music? Their looks7 Yes, its both of the things, but its also something else: theyre elephants.These musical elephants started at the TECC in Lampang. The TECC protects elephants. It teaches people to understand and love them. And, like many zoos around the world, the TECC encourages elephants to paint.Richard Lair works for the TECC. He loves his job there and knows a lot about elephants. He says some of the animals paintings are very good. But, in fact, elephants hear better than they see. And so he had an idea: if elephants are smart and they have good hearing, maybe they can play music. To test his idea, Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra. During a performance, the elephants play a number of instruments, including the drums and the xylophone (木琴).But can elephants really make music properly? Yes, says Lair. They are very creative. Human encourage the animals to play, but the elephants make their own songs; they dont just copy their trainers or other people. There are now CDs of the groups music which make money for the TECC. And the music these artists create is pretty amazing（1）Where are the unusual group of musical elephants from?_（2）What kinds of music do the elephants play?_（3）What do workers at the TECC encourage elephants to do?_（4）Is Richard Lair fit for his job? Why?_（5）Who are these artists mentioned in the last sentence?_25. （10分）阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。(注意：每个空格只填一个单词)If you receive an e-mail that looks something like this:ARE YOU GOING TO CLASS TODAY? How does reading this message make you feel? Why did the sender use all capital letters(大写字母)? Was he or she angry, or did that person just forget to turn off the Cap Lock on the computer? The fact is, this e-mail is usually the way that people shout online. Knowing when and when not to use capital letters is just one example of online etiquette(礼仪) often called netiquette. Virginia Sheas book, Netiquette, lists a basic set of dos and donts for communicating suitably with others on the Internet. Following are some of her suggestions.First, always remember that you are sending messages to a real person, not just to a computer. Dont type anything that you wouldnt say to someones face. Also, remember that the person who receives your message cannot hear the tone of your voice, or see the expression on your face, so make sure your meaning is clear.Dont do anything online that you wouldnt do in real life. Dont take anything without paying for it, unless its free. Dont use information that someone else has written, and say its yours. Dont read other peoples e-mailyou wouldnt open your next-door neighbors mailbox and open their mail, right? Do share your knowledge of the Internet with others. Its a big place with lots of information, and there are many new things to discover.Remember that people judge(判断) you by your words as well as your actions, so try to write well. Good writing skills, as well as correct grammar and spelling, matter(有关系). Send polite, well-written e-mail messages to others. If youre uncertain about how to spell a word or which phrases to use, look it up. There are lots of helpful books and websites.Its okay to show your ideas online in forums(论坛) like chat room or message boards, but dont start arguments with people. Flame wars in online discussions can be interesting to read, but are often unfair to other members of the group. Express your opinions, but remember that fighting online or offline is just not suitable.When youre online, just as in real life, try to respect(尊重) other peoples space, privacy and feelings. Remember, you are not the only one travelling on this highway!Netiquette- a _about manners onlinewhat to doExpress your meaning _._out new things and share your knowledge with others.Send _, well-written e-mails to others.Respect other peoples space, privacy and_.Show your ideas online in forums like chat room or_boards._not to doDont send all_letters if you dont want to shout online.Dont _anything you wouldnt say to someone.Dont do anything online that you wouldnt do in _life.Dont start to argue with people.七、 书面表达 (共1题；共5分)26. （5分）假设上闰是你校的社会实践活动周，下面是你们班部分同学在活动周的活动情况。请你据此写一篇80词左右的英语短文，并投稿给你校的英语周刊。Social Practical Programme(社会实践活动)Chen Tanghelped to clean up the city parkLiu Tianvisited the old peoples homeHu Fanghelped Mum sell vegetables at the marketWu Qigave out public service advertisements(广告)第 20 页 共 20 页参考答案一、 单选题 (共15题；共30分)1-1、2-1、3-1、4-1、5-1、6-1、7-1、8-1、9-1、10-1、11-1、12-1、13-1、14-1、15-1、二、 阅读理解 (共3题；共30分)16-1、16-2、16-3、16-4、16-5、17-1、17-2、17-3、17-4、17-5、18-1、18-2、18-3、18-4、18-5、三、 短文填空 (共1题；共1分)19-1、四、 选词填空 (共1题；共4分)20-1、五、 交际运用部分 (共2题；共9分)21-1、22-1、六、 任务型阅读 (共3题；共20分)23-1、24-1、24-2、24-3、24-4、24-5、25-1、七、 书面表达 (共1题；共5分)26-1、
