They were on economics(经济学), a subject that I didnt really like much then.I laughed at the silly mistakes I made as I looked through the papers. And memories of the past came to my mind. I saw myself sitting at one of the study tables, working hard for some of my life goals. Back then, it was popular for most students to set life goals, because they thought it was most important.It was during those times that I first started to set goals for myself. I didnt know much about goal setting then. I didnt use any goal tracking(跟踪) tools, either. All I knew was that I had to go to university. There was no other way that I could give myself. To go through my lecture(演讲) notes, I didnt take breaks. For more revision with my classmates, I stayed back late. One time, I missed the school lock-out hours and I had to climb school gates in order to leave. It was perhaps this attitude(态度) that ignited my decision to go through what I had to do to get this far.Yes, it may have been hard. But the sweet taste of victory experienced at the point of receiving my final results was so wonderful that I would never forget it for the rest of my life.I closed the folder and dropped it into the dustbin(垃圾箱) in the room. Its time to get kicking with my next goal. And by writing this, I know Im getting closer.（1）When the author(作者)looked through the papers in the folder, he . A . looked for a self-improvement bookB . laughed at the silly mistakes he madeC . dropped it into the dustbin right awayD . sat at the table and set life goals again（2）When the author first started to get goals for himself, he . A . didnt need to enter universityB . didnt use any goal tracking toolsC . was sure that he would win the victoryD . learned a lot from a self-improvement book（3）Why did the author stay back late after school? A . To be prepared to enter university.B . To learn more about goal setting.C . To make his teacher pay attention to him.D . To get the chance of climbing school gates.（4）The underlined word “ignited” means in the passage. A . reduced(减少)B . balanced(平衡)C . questionedD . raised（5）What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph? A . He regularly(规律地) tidies his room.B . Hes not quite good at goal settingC . He is ready for the next goal.D . He hated those papers in the folder.8. （8分）阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。DHow old is old? The answer has changed over the years. Two Hundred years ago, you were old at 35. At the beginning of the 20th century, the average life span(平均寿命) was 45. In 1950, 70-year-olds were really old.

People grow old when they dont have their ideals(理想). People shouldnt have the wrong ideas about aging. Sometimes, older minds can be as bright as young minds.

If you want to become a good writer, read good writing. Unluckily, you may not have understood what did good to you and even what you were supposed to get from that experience.As you start reading a book, poem, or story, do so with no thought at all and the experience will improve your writing. you may not have understood what did good to you and even what you were supposed to get from that experience. Or to learn. As you progress through the work, think about whether it is “easy” reading or not. Do you become so interested in the subject and flow of the writing that you completely forget the person who wrote it, or does the composition sometimes call too much attention to itself through words and phrases that seem out of place or unexpected? The second situation is a chance to learn from the writers mistakes. In fact, the reader should not have to worry about how a writer does “his thing” . he should be able to just enjoy and learn. Every time a word strikes you as poorly chosen, stop to consider why it has this effect. Also, do not spend a lot of time analyzing (分析) the passage but put more efforts in enjoying it from the whole.Another thing I do, particularly with nonfiction (非小说) books, is to select a part to read as if it is a completely separate work. Once again, read as a common reader rather than a critic (批评家). For learning how words and phrases work together on the most basic level, however, nothing is more suitable than devoting yourself to reading poems. A poet is often trying to put a books worth of meaning and feelings into lines, and every side of the work shows a very close attention to craft (工艺).As you can see, there is no simple way of reading to improve your writing. The key is not to make it boring. Select writers you admire or like most, and enjoy their works as anyone else would. As long as you are reading, you are improving yourself as a writer.Improving Your Writing by ReadingFactsReading good writing _you become a good writer.You dont understand the_of reading and what to get from reading.WaysRead not to learn but for _.1) Develop a great _in the subject and flow of the writing.2) Learn from the writers _if possible.3) _shouldnt be spent in analyzing the passage but in enjoying the passage from the whole.Read as a common consumer rather than a critic._yourself to reading poems and enjoy the lines.ConclusionsDont make yourself _with reading.Select your _writers and enjoy their works.You are sure to make_during reading.七、 书面表达。 (共1题；共5分)15. （5分）你擅长体育运动吗？假如你想竞选你班里的体育委员，请说明你当体育委员的理由。句首已给出，不计入词数。提示：1.竞选的理由；2.你的爱好及特长；3.你能为班级带来什么。要求：不少于60词。I want to第 13 页 共 13 页参考答案一、 单项选择。 (共5题；共10分)1-1、2-1、3-1、4-1、5-1、二、 完形填空。 (共1题；共10分)6-1、三、 阅读理解。 (共4题；共36分)7-1、7-2、7-3、7-4、7-5、8-1、8-2、8-3、8-4、9-1、9-2、9-3、9-4、9-5、10-1、10-2、10-3、10-4、四、 词汇运用。 (共2题；共20分)11-1、12-1、五、 语法填空。 (共1题；共1分)13-1、六、 任务型阅读。 (共1题；共10分)14-1、七、 书面表达。 (共1题；共5分)15-1、
