Now Li Hua is asking a question and Professor Lee is answering.Li Hua: When I hang out with American friends, Im always afraid to speak. I feel like they will laugh at my accent(口音). What can I do, Professor Lee?Professor Lee: Its a good question! This is a typical problem among you students. First, its OK to speak English with an accent. It shows who you are and where youre from. English is an international language. English speakers from the US, the UK, Australia, and South Africa all have different accents. In fact, correct grammar and word choice are much more important. Second, most foreigners are friendly and will not laugh at you. So just relax and be yourself. I always tell my students, Dont be shy. Just try! If you have a chance, take it. Finally, failure is the best teacher. As the saying goes, Failure is the mother of success. Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player of all time, found the secret to success. He said, Ive failed over and over again in my life. And thats why I succeed. （1）Li Hua tells Professor Lee about his worry. （2）Li Hua is sure foreigners will laugh at his accent when speaking English. （3）Professor Lee encourages Li Hua from three points. （4）People from English - speaking countries all have the same accent. （5）Jordan never gave up in the face of failure and finally he succeeded. 2. （10分）阅读短文.根据短文内容回答问题。 Charity Cause in UKIf you watch British television on March 15. you might be surprised to see celebrities(名人) wearing funny red noses and joking around But dont worry. Theyre not mad. Its all part of a money raising event called Red Nose Day. Founded in 1985 by two British actors, the aim of the event is to raise money to help poor people in the UK and Africa. Celebrities support the event by making appearances on special TV shows. For example. UK Prime Minister David Cameron once appeared in a music video by One Direction, which the band produced for the event.British dont just raise money for charitable(慈善的)causes on one day year, but they do it all year round. One way of doing is by shopping in charity shops. These small shops sell clothes, books and household goods just like any other shop except that its all secondhand.There are nearly 10,000 charity shops in the UK. Their business model is simple anybody who has things they dont want any more can give them to a charity shop. Where they are checked, cleaned and priced. The money that is made by selling them is used for a charitable cause.The idea of buying used clothes may sound unpleasant, but for shoppers who have less spending money, it has been a welcome choice. Now, shopping at charity shops is also becoming popular with young people looking for another kind of fashion. You can find very beautiful and special clothes for a very cheap price. I dont mind wearing the clothes that other people may have worn them, I simply wash them before I wear them, said Anne Marie, a 19-year-old from UK.So next time you see a charity shop. Why not go inside? Who knows, you might find a lovely dress for just a few pounds. Even better, you can enjoy wearing it, it means that your money helped a good cause.（1）When is Red Nose Day? （2）What is the aim of the event? （3）Do British raise money for charitable causes on one day a year? （4）What do charity shops in the UK sell? （5）Why ax charity shops becoming popular among young people? 3. （10分）阅读理解 Emergencies(紧急情况) dont happen very often.

They decided that 911 was easy to remember and people could dial it quickly. The very first 911 call was made on February 16, 1968 in Alabama.

Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I dont agree with them.Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources(资源), we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal(煤) or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.（1）From the passage we know that some students often _ in the school.

But the results of a new study show that a mothers voice alone can be just as comforting to an anxious child as physical contact(接触).In an experiment, researchers from the University of Wisconsin Madison asked a group of girls between the ages of 7 and 12 to solve math problems in front of judgesa stressful situation for anyone. Before the girls were set to give their answers, the researchers measured their levels of two hormones(荷尔蒙): cortisol, which goes up during stressful periods, and oxytocin, the love hormone, which goes down at the same time.After the girls finished the problems, some of them got to meet up with their mothers right away. The moms came in and hugged the girls. Another group of the girls didnt see their mothers, but received phone calls from them, in which their mothers told them how well theyd done. The final group had no contact with their mothers, but instead watched an animal movie, March of the Penguins.Finally, the girls hormone levels were measured again. Although the movie was interesting, it did nothing to reduce the childrens anxietybut, surprisingly, both the physical contact and phone calls from their mothers had the same effect on reducing the girls stress levels.So, no matter how old you are, if youre feeling stressed about something in your life, a phone call to Mom might be just the key to help you feel better.（1）If a girl is under stress, . A . she cant solve math problemsB . she will have high levels of hormoneC . oxytocin will remain at a high levelD . cortisol will go up with oxytocin down（2）Which of the following is the right order in which the study was carried out? a.

A . it is easy for girls to solve math problemsB . the girls who had watched the movie remained anxiousC . mothers should hug their kids as often as possibleD . older girls have higher cortisol than younger ones（4）Whats the main idea of the passage? A . A mothers voice can comfort her anxious kids.B . Mothers should often hug their kids.C . Mothers should spend enough time caring about their kids.D . Scientists discovered why kids become stressed when having tests.8. （8分）阅读理解 When we can see well, we do not think about our eyes often. It is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are. People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing and reading, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly. People who are farsighted face just the opposite problem They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arms length. If they want to do much reading, they most get glasses too. Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people8 eyes become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them. When night fails, colors become fainter to the eyes and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the side of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they can not see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark. （1）We dont know that our eyes are of great importance until . A . we think about our eyesB . we cannot see clearlyC . we wear glassesD . we have to do much reading（2）According to the passage, a is more likely to be nearsighted. A . tailorB . doctorC . guardD . painter（3）People who are farsighted . A . cannot do a lot of close work without glassesB . can only see things that are very close to their eyesC . have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arms lengthD . have the same problem as the nearsighted people（4）To see a small thing at night, it is better to look . A . with wide open eyesB . with half shut or narrowed eyesC . straight at itD . in a slightly different direction9. （8分） Mr Smith is a teacher. He is near-sighted(近视的). But he doesnt wear glasses.
