I crouched (蹲) low there and was lost in the false hope of finding a treasure larger than the small on the shore.A man ran slowly along the waves my direction. When he came near me, he slowed to a walk. I didnt him until he was almost standing over me. Too young to be of strangers, I got on my feet and looked at him. It was then that I saw what was in his , a beautiful bright cream-colored shell, the kind of thing that I was looking for. He smiled as I stared in , and then, to my shock, he handed it to me. I held it before me like a diamond, not my eyes.“I think you will like it,” he said, and then continued his down the beach.I do not his voice, his clothes or even his face, I do still have the shell, and the greatest lesson Ive ever . Now the shell sits on my bedside table, not as as it was, but it is still there, a reminder that there is in the world.That man saved my belief in the kindness of people, and he saved my belief that one can find what means something in life. I see my shell every day, and I know that I can bad days because there are good things in my life. In the end, all that we have is we have done for others. The shell is to me, as important as another man who returned to the plane to me my lost jacket.I know that a difference in someones life, no matter how big or small, is what truly matters, and that it is worth all the treasure in the world.21A. shell B. frog C. fish D. diamond22A. to B. in C. through D. for23A. recognize B. know C. follow D. notice24A. tired B. fond C. shy D. proud25A. clothes B. coat C. hand D. bag26A. despair B. fear C. disappointmentD. amazement27A. formally B. calmly C. hopefully D. carefully28A. imagining B. believing C. thinking D. presenting29A. run B. walk C. ride D. drive30A. respect B. realize C. remember D. remind31A. but B. or C. unless D. so32A. accepted B. taken C. learned D. received33A. dirty B. hard C. bright D. soft34A. noisy B. wise C. quiet D. stupid35A. equality B. kindness C. bravery D. honesty36A. get through B. get down C. turn down D. turn off37A. what B. how C. where D. why38A. necessary B. important C. valuable D. essential39A. sell B. give C. remove D. buy40A. telling B. getting C. doing D. making三、阅读理解People in cities all over the world shop in supermarkets. When you enter the supermarket, you see shelves full of food. You walk in the aisles, pushing your shopping cart. You probably hear soft, slow music in the supermarket. This kind of music is playing to relax you and make you walk slowly. Thus, you will probably stay longer and buy more food. Where do you go in the supermarket when you first arrive? Many people go to the meat section first. This area of the store has many different kinds of meat. Some kinds are expensive and others are not. Usually, some kinds of meat are on sale. So it has a special low price. The manager of the store knows where the customers usually enter the meat section. The meat on sale is usually at the other end of the section, away from where the customers enter. If you want to buy this specially priced meat, you have to walk by the more expensive meat first. Maybe you will see something that you want to buy before you reach the cheaper, inexpensive meat. Then you will spend more money in the meat section. The diary section sells milk that is low in fat. Some supermarkets sell three different containers（包装盒）of low-fat milk. Each container looks different, but each contains the same product. One says "1% fat", one says "99% fat free" and one says "low-fat" in big letters and "1%"in very small letters. If you look carefully you can see that all the milk has the same amount of fat, and each container is the same size. The prices of all these three should be the same. However, in many stores these three containers of milk would each have a different price. The store will make more money if a customer chooses the milk that costs the most. Most of the food in supermarkets is very attractive. People often stop to look at the products in attractive containers. But remember, many products will say, "Buy me!". Stop and think which ones are the best value for your money. 41The word "aisles" in the first paragraph means _ . A. the entrance of a supermarket B. the place where you pay for your goods C. the way between the shelves D. the place where the special priced meat is on sale. 42When you walk by the expensive meat, _ . A. maybe you will buy some B. you will not look at it C. you will buy diary products D. maybe it is on sale 43The three different kinds of low-fat milk _ . A. contain three different amount of milk B. contain three different kinds of milk C. each have the same amount of fat D. are all the same price 44Supermarket managers make the food attractive so _ . A. it is cheap B. the customers will buy more C. it is expensive D. it is in the diary section If you think English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Havent you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the earlier people learn a second language, the greater the effect is.A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London(UCL), took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of“early bilinguals(通两种语言的人)”, who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,”said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills.“Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,”he said,“You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the earlier they started to learn, the better.“Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,”explained the scientists.45What does the underlined part“grey matter”(in paragraph 2) refer to?A. Grey hair. B. Material of the brain.C. Intelligence. D. Difficult situations.46The experience of learning a second language can .A. change ones brain completelyB. improve ones maths skillsC. make one smarter than othersD. increase the ability to learn47We can learn from the passage that .A. the researchers from UCL did another study in ItalyB. a similar study was done on native Italian speakers who learn English as a second languageC. the research done on the Italians showed a totally different resultD. it will be easier for one to travel around the world by learning a second language48Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Learning a second language can help improve your brain power.B. You should learn a second language in English that is not your native language.C. If you want to learn a second language, you should do it at a certain age.D. The research done by the researchers from UCL is very successful.四、七选五"Smart" IdiomsToday we take a look at the word “smart”.If someone says you are smart,what do they mean?Is it a good thing or something bad?49This is because the word smart has many meanings.That smarts!For example,someone could say you look smart or are dressed smartly.That means they like what you are wearing and your physical appearance.To use a slang（俚语）expression,they could say,“You look really cool!”But if something smarts,it can be unkind or hurtful,either physically or mentally.If you accidentally trip over a chair and fall down,you might shout,“Ow!That smarts!”Or if a friend says something that hurts your feelings,you can say you are smarting from the hurtful comments.50SmartingIf you are standing too close to a campfire,you could say your eyes are smarting from the smoke of the fire. Here the word “smarting” means a sharp pain.51If someone is smart as whip,they are able to think very quickly.Street smart and book smart52Some people are considered street smart.They may not have a strong education.But they are good at dealing with people and problems in the real world.Other people might be book smart.This means they have spent many years in school.But they may not be so smart when dealing with people or real-world problems.Dont get smart with me!And then there is the definition of smart that means to talk or behave disrespectfully.If you say something disrespectful to your parents,they might say,“Dont get smart with me!”Here,“smart”means to show a lack of respect by saying something unkind.In fact,a child who has a smart mouth makes rude comments,not smart ones.This definition of smart can also be used as a verb.53A.Do they really mean you are smart?B.People have different attitude toward being smart.C.However,different people have different ways of being smart.D.In fact,maybe that person is no longer you friend.E.The answer is not as easy as you might think.F.But the most common meaning of smart is to be intelligent.G.If you smart off to the wrong people,they could hit you in the face.五、短文改错54假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（），并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。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）不计分。The first monthly exam which I took as a high school student held at the end of September.
