I am Veronica, your new pen friend from Singapore. I got your name and address from the Making Pen Pals' Column in Buddies magazine and thought I'd write to you. Well, let me start by telling you something about myself. I am 13 years old and I am studying in secondary one at Westdove School. I have just finished my exams. I live with my parents and younger sister in a five room apartment. I like swimming, playing tennis and reading novels. I love the outdoors, especially the sea and I have been on several trekking (long and hard) tours abroad. I enjoy listening to both pop and classical music. My favorite food is pizza and I love making it myself because I like to make it with lots of cheese and pepper. To sum it up, I am a talkative, caring and patient person.I guess life in London must be wonderful with all the interesting places and good food to enjoy. I'd love to see the famous Big Ben. I hope to visit London during one of my school holidays. Laura, I would really like to learn more about your culture and lifestyle. I hope you will write back. I have enclosed(附有) my address and telephone number. Please feel free to call me if you make a trip to Singapore. I think you should because it is a wonderful place to shop. Till then, good-bye.Yours faithfullyVeronica 21. Veronica writes the letter to Laura because she wants to _.A. tell something about her hometown B. know something about herC. invite her to her country D. make friends with her22. Veronica says she loves making pizza because _.A. there is no pizzas in Singapore B. people can not buy fresh pizza in SingaporeC. she can make pizza to her own tasteD. she thinks it is cheap to make pizza23. From the letter we know that _.A. Veronica is not interested in travelingB. Veronica has traveled a lotC. Veronica has been to London beforeD. Veronica thinks Singapore is the best place for travelers ( B )As we know, most of the material things in our daily life have to be bought with money. But money is not all powerful. Money can't buy many things such as time and true love. There are 24 hours in a day. Sometimes when we are very happy, we wish that the period of happiness would last(持续）longer. But no matter what we do, or how much money we are willing to pay, we cannot make a day last longer than 24 hours. On the other hand, when we are unhappy, money cannot make the unhappy time pass away more quickly. True love is another thing which money cannot buy. Suppose we have someone who really loves us very much. Once he dies, he can give us no more love. Can our money raise him from death and make him love us as before? Here we can see very clearly that money cannot buy us love. Money can buy us diamond things, beautiful clothes, but never time and love. So money, after all, is not all powerful. 24. According to the passage, it is quite impossible for you to buy _. A. true friendship B. real diamondC. a large house D. an expensive car25. Which of the sentences expresses the main idea of this passage?A. Money cannot buy time and love.B. Money is the most powerful thing in the worldC. Money can buy people material things.D. Money doesn't mean everything.26. Through the passage the writer wants to tell people not to _.A. make money B. waste moneyC. save money D. worship (崇拜) money27. From the passage we can see that in our life, besides something material, we need something _.A. spiritual (精神上的) B. beautiful C. lovely D. useful ( C )More than 10,000 people were made homeless in Ternang when the Sungai Mas overflowed its banks yesterday after six days of continuous heavy rain.The wooden bridge across the river has been washed away. The town is cut off by flood waters. At the fifth mile, Jalan Tengkn, the water is two meters deep. It is closed to all traffic. Flooding first happened at mid-afternoon yesterday along the river banks. People trying to get to higher ground were just in time to escape the destroying of the flood. Most of the flood victims(受害者) had to leave all their things behind.The National Flood Relief(救济) Center was reported to give its help and by early evening the whole town was moved out, helped by the army, police, Red Cross Society and volunteers(志愿者).The flood victims are now housed in different simple relief centers in the nearby town of Ternang. “Everything possible is being done to help the unlucky people,” a government spokesman said, “In fact, money, food and clothing have begun to come in from public organizations and helpful people. A Disaster Relief Fund（救灾基金会） will be started as soon as possible.”According to the latest reports it is still raining heavily at Ternang. The whole town is expected to be wholly covered by the water. So far no deaths have been reported.28. This passage is probably taken from _.A. a storybookB. a textbookC. a magazineD. a newspaper29. It seems that the flood happened just because _.A. the banks were too lowB. the wooden bridge is solid (坚固)C. the river was too narrowD. they had had wet days for some time30. From the passage we know that _.A. though the town was flooded, you could still go there by busB. as soon as the water flowed over the banks, people began to go to higher landsC. the government and the whole society are taking great care of the flood victimsD. the flood hasn't brought a large loss to the town as nobody died in the flood31.

Rescue Team Arrived DThere have been many great inventions, which have changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today-the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things to travel long distances. For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that have made as much effect as the wheel. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn't have to explore(开发) much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today. The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909. Sound movies in 1926. The computer in 1928, and jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear. The middle part of the 20th brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live long lives. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60. By this time most people had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a wish to explore again. The world is known to man but the stars are not yet. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space.32. The first great invention ever known was _.A. the camera B. the wheel C. the electric light D. the radio33.

I wanted to do anything special for him at his retirement party. My mum makes the better biscuits in the world, so I decide to ask her for help. Mum taught me some basic step of baking. I insisted on doing most of the baking myself. I thought the biscuits were really well. My only mistake was that I dropped some on the floor after I was packing them up.At a party, my coach, with a biscuit in his mouth, asked surprisingly who made them and joked, “I might have to retire again next year just get some more of these biscuits.”My favorite picture at the party is of my coach and me enjoy the biscuits with happy laughter!第二节：写作 （满分25分）假设你是王林，你的好友陈辉来信说他学习英语很困难，请你根据以下要点提示给他写一封回信：1. 要相信自己2. 利用好词典和教科书3. 大声说英语4. 不要怕犯错误，要有目标注意：1.词数：100词左右 ；2.可以适当增加细节，使行文连贯英语参考答案阅读理解A篇 21-23 DCB B篇 24-27 ADDA C篇 28-31 DDCA D篇 32-35 DDCA七选五 EDAFG完形填空41-45 ABCCB 46-50 ADADB 51-55ACDBD 56-60 ACBDA语法填空61. how 62.have been 63.instruction 64.confusing 65.but 66.to follow 67.properly 68.your 69.a 70.will try短文改错71.去掉in 72.anything 改为something 73.better改成best 74.decide改成decided75.step 改为steps 76.well改成good 77.after改成when/while 78.a改为the79.just后加to 80.enjoy改为enjoying 书面表达(略) 7
