One site said that talking on a cell phone while driving had the same results of drunk driving accidents! Also I think it is very impolite to use your phone in a public place! Once I was in a doctors office, and people were very quiet. A womans cell phone started ringing. After what seemed a million rings, she started to talk on her little “toy”, annoying every one.- Chelsea from the USThe cell phone would be a great thing if we used it in the right way. Unfortunately most of us dont use it in the right way because we talk with our friends for hours and hours, and thats something we can do better if we have a coffee together. The use of the cell phone in this way is dangerous for the development of good communication. We need to think twice about how we are using cell phones.- Graciela Flores form MexicoOnce when I was studying in the library, I was reading my book. Suddenly, a cell phone rang. I was so annoyed because those students didnt have good manners in public. I looked at them in anger, but they didnt pay attention. Nowadays, many young students use cell phones everywhere in my country just for talking to their friends. It keeps students from studying.-Seung-HyeLee from Korea I think cell phones should be banned（禁止）in cars and airplanes. It is very clear that peoples attention is diverted（分散）if they talk on cell phones while they are driving. The number of car accidents caused by drivers using cell phones has risen, so people should not use them when they are driving. Also, it is dangerous to use them in airplanes because the phone signals can interrupt the airplanes signal system.- Yian Ma from China25 . What does Chelsea probably agree with?ACell phones shouldnt be used in public.BThe woman is suffering from a bad disease.CHaving a drink is exactly like using a cell phone.DThe rings of the cell phones are wonderful.26 . Who holds that it is harmful to talk on the cell phone for a long time?AYian MaBChelseaCGraciela FloresDSeung-Hye Lee27 .

People that think using cell phones while driving may lead to accidents are from _.AKorea and USBMexico and ChinaCUS and MexicoDChina and US29 . What is the passage mainly about?ACell phones can be used in different ways.BHow to use cell phones while driving.CCell phones should be used properly.DPeople quarreled over using cell phones.It was June 15, and in two days I would be turning 30. I was afraid that my best years were now behind me. So I asked my neighbor Nicholas, a 79-year-old man:“What was the best time of your life?”Without hesitation（犹豫）, Nicholas said,“Well, Joe, this is my philosophical（哲学的） answer to your philosophical question:“When I was a child in Austria and everything was taken care of for me by my parents, that was the best time of my life.“When I was going to school and learning the things I know today, that was the best time of my life.“When I got my first job and had responsibilities（责任） and got paid for my efforts, that was the best time of my life.“When I met my wife and fell in love, that was the best time of my life.“When World War II came, my wife and I had to flee Austria to save our lives. When we were together and safe on a ship to North America, that was the best time of my life.“When we came to Canada and started a family, that was the best time of my life.“When I was a young father, watching my children grow up, that was the best time of my life.“And now, Joe, I am 79 years old. I have my health, I feel good and I am in love with my wife just as I was when we first met. This is the best time of my life.”30 .

I was quite clear about the fact that once I left, my house would stand empty for the first time since the day it was built. It was a strange feeling and perhaps explains why I was leaving so late. I walked around the house many times over, checking to see that all was in order. It is hard to explain my feelings once I did finally set off. As I drove further and further from the house, I found everything looked unfamiliar(不熟悉的) to me. I began to have a feeling of nervousness mixed with excitement. I took a turning and found myself on a road circling the edge of a hill. I could sense the steep(陡峭的) drop to my left. I felt a sense of alarm that I was perhaps not on the correct road at all, but speeding off in the wrong direction. It was only the feeling of a moment, but it caused me to slow down. And even when I was sure I was on the right road, I thought I had to stop the car for a moment to think carefully.I stopped my car and walked out of it. On the one side of the road, small trees grew closely together, while on the other I could now see the countryside far away and a town nearby.I waked a little way along the roadside, when I heard a voice behind me. Until this point I had believed myself quite alone and I turned in some surprise. Sitting on the large stone was a thin, white-haired man. He called to me again and gave me a sign to join him. For a moment, I took him for a homeless man, but then I saw he was just some local man enjoying the fresh air and summer sunshine.34 . Why did the writer set off later than planned?ABecause he checked the house again and again.BBecause he was feeling sad about leaving the house.CBecause packing his backpack took longer than expected.DBecause there was no one to help him get everything ready.35 . What caused the writer to start driving more slowly?AHe wanted to look at the beautiful hill carefully.BHe suddenly feared that he might get lost.CThe road became steeper and steeper.DHe realized he was driving too fast.36 . What can we infer about the white-haired man?AHe was surprised to see the writer.BHe greatly enjoyed being alone.CHe used to be homeless.DHe was a nature lover.37 . What does the passage mainly talk about?AThe writers purpose in starting the trip.BThe writers courage in traveling alone.CThe writers mixed feelings about his trip.DThe writers experience of driving on the hill.三、单词填空首字母填空Its not easy for us to forgive someone who has ever hurt you or made you disappointed（失望的）. H38 . ,several new studies say that it could be good for your health. When you think of forgiveness,you probably dont think of it as a healthy or medical problem. On the other h39 . ,studies show that something like anger can change your well-being（身心状况）. When cartoon characters 140 . the Incredible Hulk get angry, they change colours and often get special power. In the real w41 . , anger is less obvious. Scientists say anger can be harmful to your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the s42 . idea. The studies find that people who are a43 . to forgive feel less stress,less back pain,and less depression. They also have fewer headaches,l44 . blood pressure（血压）,and fewer problems on sleeping. So it doesnt m45 . if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Ways such as deep breath can h46 . you a lot,or just ask yourself if its worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else. Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say its OK. l47 . ,its a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past.四、语法填空throw make satisfy he many use wonder one student sad spend resultThere was once a young man who liked puppets (木偶) so much. He became a student of a master puppet-maker. 48 . , the young man was not so clever as his classmates. His teacher and the other 49 . were always telling him that he had no ability to make puppets, so he would never succeed.Even so, he enjoyed 50 . puppets so much that he worked day after day to improve his skills. With his efforts, they would always find something wrong with the puppets that he had made. So they often 51 . his puppets out of the workshop.The young man wasnt going to give up. He made up his mind 52 . all his time in making just one kind of puppet. Years passed, and with each new attempt(尝试), his puppet became a little bit better. By now, his puppet was much better than his old classmates could make, but he still kept making 53 . improvements than before. By the time he was an old man, his puppet was truly 54 . . After so many years of hard work, he finished work on his puppet, and said, “I cant find anything wrong with it. This time it is perfect.” And for the 55 . time in all those years, instead of throwing his puppet away, he put it on the shelf. He felt very 56 . and happy. What made him succeed was not 57 . talent but his hard work of so many years. If you want to make a difference in your life, you should keep it in your mind that success lies in never giving up.五、回答问题阅读表达What is a museum?
