It is also usually the most exciting. As the leader comes into the stadium to run the last few meters of the 42kilometre race，the crowd rises to its feet to shout and cheer. The name of the race comes from a battle in Ancient Greece. According to the story，a soldier ran from the scene of the battle，Marathon，to Athens，to bring the news of a Greek victory against the Persians. He died just after arriving. The marathon has been an Olympic event since the modern games started in 1896.At first the distance was 40 kilometersthe distance between Marathon and Athens. In 1908，however，at the London Olympics，it was changed. The King of England wanted the runners to leave from his castle in Windsor and arrive in a new stadium in central London. The distance was 26 milesabout 42 kilometers. In fact，the 1908 marathon ended dramatically(戏剧性地)When the leader，an Italian，entered the stadium he turned the wrong way and fell onto the ground. Officials picked him up and helped him to the finishing line，just as the second runner，an American，entered the stadium. The Americans protested(抗议)and in the end the American runner was declared(宣布)the winner. Since then，there have been many more exciting marathons. In fact，you dont have to wait for the Olympic Games to run or watch a marathon，as there are marathons in over sixty countries and hundreds of cities around the world today. One of the most famous marathons is in New York，and is watched by two million people around the streets and across the bridges of the citys five boroughs(纽约市的行政区)，and past New Yorks famous landmarks. But perhaps one of the most beautiful and extraordinary(最特别的)marathons ever is the Great Wall Marathon，which most competitors find is the toughest course to run. The marathon is the final Olympic event because it is thought to be the hardest. But experts believe that most peopleeven people who are not particularly good at sportcan run a marathon，if they train for it.36When the leader comes into the stadium，the crowd_Arun to his or her feet happilyBshout with excitementCcarry him or her to the finishing lineDsing and dance37Who ran to the finishing line first in 1908?AThe American runner.BThe leading runner.CThe Greek winner.DThe Italian soldier.38Which is the most special of the marathon events in the world?AThe Marathon in New York.BThe Marathon in the Beijing Olympic Games.CThe Great Wall Marathon.DThe Marathon in London in 2012.39Whats the main idea of the passage?AMarathon is the most important event.BMarathon is the most popular event.CMarathon is the hardest event.DMarathon is the final Olympic event.B When a child is told he is“uncool”，it can be very painful. He may say he doesnt care，and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose. But these are simply ways to handle sadness by pretending its not there.Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful. If you say，“Why are you worried about what other children think about you？It doesnt matter！”，children know that it does matter. Instead，an active way may be best. You could say，“Im going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school.” If a boy is having trouble making friends，the teacher can help him. The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a childs popularity in the group by showing that he values that child. It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child，or let him be a partner with that child in activities，etc. There are things that parents can do at home，too. Be friendly when your child brings others home to play. Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider delicious. When you plan trips，picnics，movies，and other shows，invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out. Then，if he has good qualities，he can start to build real friendship of his own.40A child who has been informed of being “uncool” may _Acare nothing about itBdo something uncool on purposeCdevelop a sense of angerDpretend to get hurt very much41A teacher can help an unpopular child by _Aseeing the child as the teachers favorite.Basking the child to do something for partners.Cforcing other children to make friends with the child.Doffering the child chances to show his good qualities.42How can parents help their child fit in better?ABy cooking delicious food for him.BBy being kind to his schoolmates.CBy forcing him to invite friends home.DBy taking him to have picnics in the park.43The text is mainly about _Ahow an unpopular child can be helpedBwhy some children are unpopularCwhat good qualities unpopular children haveDwho care about unpopular childrenC I used to know nothing about fairy tales. To improve my reading skills, my mother gave me books that are a little bit difficult for me to understand. I didnt even know that fairy tales existed until I attended public school at the age of eight. Of course once I found out about books of this type, I would read them as quickly as I could. Again and again, I begged my mother to take me to the library and let me choose a few. Finally, my request was granted. After our return from the library, I started reading them eagerly and energetically, one after another. And I tried to put myself in the female characters shoe. I found she had to suffer before the handsome prince came to her rescue, and then they would live happily ever after. I asked my mother why she never let me know about fairy tales. Looking straight in my eyes, she told me that life is not like a fairy tale. There are good and bad things that will happen through life. At the end though, there is not a man that will come and “save” us. We do not need saving; we instead want someone in our lives to share those good moments and bad ones; we want someone we can rely on and also they can rely on us. Life is not about “happily ever after” What then is life about mom? Life is the boy finding he loves every little thing about you, even the annoying things. He holds your hands and says “come with me” and you live, laugh and love together. But things are not going to be perfect. You still have to face difficulties together, working hard for your relationship.44Before the age of eight, the author_Areceived no formal educationBtook no interest in reading booksCdidnt read any books of fairy talesDwas forced to improve her reading skills45What happened to the author after she attended public school?AShe started to like reading.BShe was crazy about fairy tales.CHer mother always took her to the library.DHer mother didnt allow her to read books of fairy tales.46How does the authors mother like fairy tales?AA must for her kid.BUnnecessary for her kid.CEasy for her kid to understand.DHelpful in building her kids character.47The authors mother intends to explain that_Alife is not perfectBno pains, no gainsClife is about sharingDone needs to live on his/her ownD America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a whilethen no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending sometimes deeply into both families. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily. Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they dont show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our timeSometimes，we，as hosts，will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however，express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably. For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!48The writer of this passage must be _Aa ChineseBan AmericanCa professorDa student49Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?AFriendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.BAmericans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.CAmericans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.DFriendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.50The underlined words “generous with our time” in paragraph 3 probably mean _Astrict with timeBserious with timeCwilling to spend timeDcareful with time51A suitable title for this passage would probably be“_”AFriendships between ChineseBFriendships between AmericansCAmericans and Chinese peoples views of friendshipsDAmericans hospitalityE Is early childhood education really necessary? Early childhood education primarily focuses on learning through playing to develop the childs physical, sensory, communicational and social development. Early childhood education has become a concern of the government, who pushes poor children to be formally trained before they are old enough for kindergarten. There are good reasons for the government to push early childhood education. Studies have shown that orphaned children who did not receive good care and education become developmentally delayed causing failure in school, and even in life. Further studies show that poor children who take part in Head Start programs are more prepared for school, less likely to end up in Special Education classes, and are less likely to receive public help or go to jail. There are also negative parts to putting a child in formal education programs too early. Time Magazine Online explains that “the younger the child is, the less his chances of catching up with firstgrade work.”I have personally witnessed many children of my generation who went to Head Start programs become frustrated and bored with school before they finished high school. Yet parents have been sure that the earlier the child starts school, the better off he or she is, so they push to start children earlier. Actually while early formal education of poor children does show great gains in the early elementary years, studies also show that this head start is really a “false start”， as the gains are lost in middle and high school years. It seems that environment is a bigger factor on lifes success than early education. Head Start programs have not achieved its original goal in closing the achievement gap in poor and middle school children. Perhaps it is time to find other ways to close that gap.52The government values the early childhood education in order to_Adevelop the childrens communicationBhelp the children to learn by playingCget the children prepared for the kindergartenDtrain the children formally and regularly53According to the studies，_Achildren with good early education may have a rich life Bthe orphaned children are usually unhappy in their lifeCchildren without early education can do well at schoolD. Head Start programs are helpful to the poor children54The underlined word “frustrated” in Paragraph 3 means_AdissatisfiedBunsuccessfulCdisappointedDdishonest55The main idea of the last passage is that_Athe early childhood education is very necessaryBHead Start programs have helped the children a lotCenvironment is the most important to lifes successDbetter ways should be found to help the poor children.书面表达(满分25分)众所周知，体育运动在人们生活中的作用越来越重要了。上周，你校开展了一系列的体育活动，有足球、篮球、跑步、游泳、骑车等项目。全体同学积极参与，彼此竞争，也相互鼓励。请根据提示给你校广播台英语栏目写篇题为The School Sports Programme的稿件，内容包括：1时间、地点、活动；2同学们的表现；3你的简短评论。注意：1.词数120左右，题目和开头已给出，不计入总词数；2内容可适当发挥，以使行文连贯。The School Sports ProgrammeAs is known to all，sports are playing a more and more important role in peoples life._参考答案1A句意：“我校下周将举行运动会。”“你们中有多少人参加？”take part in“参加；参与”，因为后面无宾语，故省略in。2A此处表示Jack做的事情是别人的一半，做的事情是不可数概念，因此用much。倍数的表达法需把表示倍数的词half，twice，three times，one third等放在第一个as之前。3Bexchange交换；bargain便宜货；trade交易，贸易；business商业，生意。句意：我只花了10美元就买了一条大减价的裙子，真便宜。4Dlook for与seek for都有“寻找”的含义；ask for要求，需要；advertise for为征聘登广告。句意：每个新年之初，许多工厂在报纸上登广告招工。5D句意：在不久的将来，科学家们将会在机器人技术上取得更大的进步。由句中的时间状语“In the near future”可知应用一般将来时；make advances取得进步，more advances作主语，故用被动语态。6A句意：我常在因特网上见到“MSN”，可我却真的不知道这几个字母代表什么。stand for“代表；象征；表示”，符合题意。call for“要求，呼吁”；search for“寻找”；prepare for“准备”。7C句意：为了被重点中学录取，她的女儿被迫天天努力学习。be admitted into被录取，into为介词，后跟地点作宾语。故C项正确。8C句意：他没有去过那里，她也没去过。由题意可知C项正确。9B句意：不久前他买了一部iPhone取代了他的旧手机。replace更换，替换，符合句意。remove移动；reduce减少，promise许诺。10B句意：现在仍不知道那个国家将主办国际网球锦标赛。host“主办，招待”，符合题意。make“制作”；raise“举起”；found“建立”。11A句意：这家工厂的负责人自上周以来一直有病。be in charge of/take charge of负责，由时间状语since last week可知第二空要用现在完成时。12B句意：汤姆一直打得比我好，他应该赢得这场比赛。deserve后可以接名词、动名词或者不定式，故D项排除；空格处后有宾语，排除C项；A项为动词不定式的进行时，表示动作正在进行，和句意不符，故可排除。13C考查“the比较级.the比较级.”结构。句意：起初我认为我理解了老师说的话，但是他越解释，我就越糊涂。14B句意：如果想吸引更多的顾客，你应该试着在当地报纸上做广告。advertise“做广告，登广告”，符合题意。speak“说”；explain“解释”；design“设计”。15C句意：“打篮球是一项有趣的运动，我喜欢。”“我也是。”So do I指前面的情况也适合“我”。My pleasure.“不客气”；I hope so.“我希望这样”；Its all right.“没关系”。16Dmake后的动词不定式作宾补不带to；force表示“强迫”；promise表示“答应做”；allow sb.to do表示“允许某人做”。17Bexcuse“借口”，指上文提到的内容。reason“理由”；cause“原因”；explanation“解释”。18A根据stopping me判断，作者“害怕”重新学习。19Clearn by myself“自学”。20A根据下文作者的儿子提到的事情来看，此处有“转折”关系，所以用however。21B根据下文的“我不会说英语”判断，此处为“我听不懂他们的话”，所以用understand。22C下文是他“伤心”的原因，所以填because。23D只有tell后可以直接接myself，此处意为“我告诫自己”。24Dmake it习惯用语，意为“成功”。25C根据下文的“我在想”推断，作者难以“入睡”。26Blet sb.down“让某人失望”。27Ain front of“在的前面”。28A由于是学校，所以应该是“提供”成年人的课程。29C前面提到classes，此处表示“上课”，所以用attend。30B根据转折词but判断，课程已经“结束”或“关闭”了，所以用closed。31Aon the w
