The tobacco which is used to make cigarettes was first grown in what is now part of the United States. Christopher Columbus, who discovered America, saw the Indians smoking. Soon the dried leaves were transported to Europe . In the late 1800s, the Turks made cigarettes popular.Cigarette smoke contains at least two harmful substances, tar and nicotine. Tar, which forms as the tobacco burns, damages the lungs and therefore affects breathing. Nicotine, which is found in the leaves, causes the heart to beat faster and increases the breathing rate. Nicotine in large can kill a person by stopping a persons breathing muscles. Smokers usually take in small amounts that the body can quickly break down. Nicotine can make new smokers feel dizzy(头晕) or sick to their stomachs. The heart rate for young smokers increases 2 to 3 beats per minute. Nicotine also lowers skin temperature and reduces blood flow in the legs and feet. It plays an important role in increasing smokers risk of heart disease and stroke. Smoking cigarettes is dangerous. Cigarette smoking was the cause of lung cancer and several other deadly diseases. 60 Tobacco first appeared in_.A. AsiaB. Africa C. Europe D. America61.

CThe world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means （通讯设备）.Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, Man moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.Air pollution is still the most serious. Its bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air.Pollution by carbon dioxide is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. It is true that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in population at the same time.64. Hundreds of years ago, the pollution was _it is today.A. much easier than B. as easy as C. as hard as D. much less than 65.

The pollution of the earth grows as fast as the worlds population does.C. If people could go to work by bike ,it would be helpful against the problem of carbon dioxide.D. Many countries are making rules to fight against pollution.DHere are six steps to better studying.Pay attention in classDo you have trouble paying attention in class? Are you sitting next to a loud person? Tell your teacher or parents about any problem that is preventing you from paying attention.Take good notesWrite down facts that your teacher mentions or writes on the board. Try to use good handwriting so you can read your notes later. Its a good idea to keep your notes organized by subject.Plan ahead for tests and projectsWaiting until Thursday night to study for Fridays test will make it hard to do your best. One of the best ways to make sure that doesnt happen is to plan ahead. Write down your test dates. You can then plan how much to do after school each day, and how much time to spend on each topic.Break it upWhen theres a lot to study, it can help to break things into several parts. Lets say you have a spelling test on 20 words. Instead of thinking about all of the words at once, try breaking them down into five-word groups and work on one or two different groups each night.Ask for helpYou cant study effectively if you dont understand the material. Be sure to ask your teacher for help. If youre at home when the confusion occurs, your morn or dad might be able to help.Sleep tightSo the test is tomorrow and youve followed your study planbut suddenly you cant remember anything! Dont panic. Your brain needs time to digest all the information youve given it. Try to get a good nights sleep and youll be surprised by what comes back to you in the morning.68We know from the passage that a loud person is .Aa student who always answers questions loudly in classBsomeone who likes to talk with others in a loud voiceCa student who likes speaking with others in classDa person who makes a lot of noise in public places69If you dont understand what you have learnt, you can .Aread your notes over and over againBturn to people around you for helpCput aside the material for later reviewDask your teacher to explain it the next day70By saying “Sleep tight”, what does the author mean?ASleep again after waking up.BSleep holding your breath deep.CGet a good nights sleep.DGo to sleep early every night.七选五阅读-根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(注意：看清楚题号，填涂在答题卡的相应位置上)Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer._71_ Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a persons health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. _72_Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure._73_ They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “_74_ Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. _75_ A. In general the person feels excited and ready to act.B. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.C. Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it.D. Anger may cause you a cancer.E. Do not express your anger while angry.F. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.G. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.第三部分写作(共两节,满分40分)第一节：短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分,满分10分)假如英语课上老师要求同学们交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误,要求你在错误的地方增加、删除或修改某个单词。增加：在缺词处加出加一个漏字(),并在其下面写上该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写上修改后的词。注意： 1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；2.只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起
