17、ould be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception (接待). I wasquite wrong. The man wouldnt even look at my chair. The second shop, th

18、ough slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourthso I decided that my approach must be wrong. I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?" He looked it over carefully a

19、nd said, "Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?" "Twenty pounds," I said. "OK," he said, "Ill give you twenty pounds." "Its got a slightly broken leg," I said. "Yes, I saw that, its nothing." Everything was going according

20、 to plan and I was getting excited. "What will you do with it?" I asked. "Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done." "Ill buy it," I said. "What do you mean? Youve just sold it to me," he said. "Yes, I know but Ive changed my mind. I am sorry.

21、Ill give you twenty-seven pounds for it." "You must be crazy," he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. "I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair." "Youre right," I said. "And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, “ Would you me

22、nd this chair for me?”. “I wouldnt have agreed to do it," he said. "We dont do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But Ill mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver (five pounds)?" He was a very nice man and was greatly amused (感到有趣) by the whole thing. 56. We can

23、learn from the text that in the first shop the writer _. A. was rather impolite B. was warmly received C. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair D. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair 57. The underlined word "approach" in the second paragraph means _. A. plan for dealing with things B.

24、 decision to sell things C. idea of repairing things D. way of doing things 58. The expression "the penny dropped" in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper _. A. changed his mind B. accepted the offer C. saw the writers purpose D. decided to help the writer 59. How much did the writer pa

25、y? A. 5. B. 7. C. 20. D. 27. 60. From the text, we can learn that the writer was _. A. honest B. careful C. smart D. funnyB I know what youre thinking：pizza? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last nights leftovers in the a. m. if you want to. I know lots of women who skip breakfast,

26、and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they dont have time, others think theyre “saving” calories（卡路里）, still others just dont like breakfast food. But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when youre trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anythi

27、ng from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all，”says Katherine Brooking, R. D.，who developed the super-easy eating plan for this years“SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if its loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece. Breakfast is one meal I never miss,

28、and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning m

29、eal. So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last nights leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself', “You can always eat

30、it tomorrow, ”I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try ityou may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects. 61.

The text is written mainly for those_. A. who go to work early B. who stay up lateC. who want to lose weight D. who eat before sleep65. What

33、 does the author advise the readers to do? A. Better eat up all the food at dinner in the night. B. Better eat less in the night. C. Better eat leftovers in the morning. D. Better get up late and eat nothing in the morning in order to burn more calories. CAs we all know, the Dragon Boat Festival is

34、our countrys traditional festival, but do you know there is also a Dragon Boat Festival in South Korea, which also falls on May 5 of the lunar calendar(阴历)? It has been reported that South Korea will apply to United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO 联合国教科文组织) to make

35、the celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival its own intangible cultural heritage (非物质的文化遗产). If successful, people from other countries may see the Dragon Festival as a Korean creation.As the birthplace of the yearly event more than 2,000 years ago, China is not happy with the situation. "It wo

36、uld be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festival part of its own cultural heritage ahead of China," said Zhou Heping, deputy(副) culture minister. The Ministry of Culture is even thinking of making its own application to UNESCO, covering all traditional Chinese

38、River, because he had lost hope in his country's future. When people heard about Qu's death, they sailed up and down the river searching for his body. They also beat the drums to frighten away the fish and threw Zongzi into the water to stop the fish touching Qu. Dragon boat racing is said t

43、转写到答题卡上。 注意：每空不超过3个单词。Homework is an important part of education. However, what is it about homework? What makes it important?First, homework helps students learn. Homework produces higher learning ability by asking the student to read the same text many times. Most of the time, homework will ask st

44、udents to read other books. So children have to read and understand it by themselves. Sometimes, parents must help children with this type of learning. Children hope to use what they have read to solve questions and problems in the homework. Good use of homework makes children know that learning can

45、 happen with or without the teacher.As homework is finished, students learn to work out their own problems. Most students need a little help now and then, but doing homework is a way that children can learn to take care of themselves. If the student can do his or her own work, it is likely the abili

46、ty he gets will be good for their future life. Most homework gives room for additional(额外的) learning. Short answers, long answers and papers provide a way for students to learn things that interest them. Science can give the student a chance to go deeper into a field and have a better understanding.

47、 These things are almost impossible within the classroom education. If the project is done by a group, the students will also learn cooperation(合作).Good study skills students get from homework and test preparation can be used easily in most work places.Title: Importance of 71._BenefitsWays72_Make st

Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. In the United States, headmasters and teachers discipline (惩罚) students in several ways. The

50、 teacher often writes to or calls the students parents. Sometimes students have to stay at school for one hour. If a student behaves (行为) very badly, the headmaster can stop the student having classes. The student cant come to school for one, two or three days. Mr. Lazarus, the headmaster of a middl

51、e school in Ohio, did not like to do so. When he didnt let the students come to school, they were happy. “A three-day holiday!” they thought.One day, a boy was in Mr. Lazaruss office. The boy was not behaving well in class. Mr. Lazarus telephoned the boys parents. “If you come to school with your so

52、n, I wont stop him having classes.” He said. The boys father came to school and went with his son to every class. Other students looked at the boy and his father. The boy was embarrassed (难为情). After that he behaved better. And, of course, other students behaved better, too.Now headmasters all over
