When I was nine years old, I used to go to the post office with my mother, sending greeting cards to my aunt in Singapore. To me, these trips were really 16 memories. And receiving mail through a mailbox outside our gate was just as exciting. My small hands could 17 get the mail without using a key! I always couldn’t wait to see how much I was 18 . Oh, a letter! From Singapore! I would run back home and show it to my 19 . When there was a letter for me, I wouldn’t run—I would open it right there.
After my family moved back to Singapore, I 20 going to the post office. Years later, my company sent me to Shanghai, and the post office found me again. Two years ago I celebrated my 21 with five friends on top of the mountain in Longsheng, China. At sunrise we 22 up to a beautiful view from the mountain top. Later in the afternoon, as we were going 23 the mountain and returning from the sunrise viewing place, a 24 shop caught our attention（注意）. It only sold noodles, coffee and had a China 25 sign.
We asked the owner if she could really send mail. She happily said yes. It seemed hard to believe 26 we were at the highest top of the mountain. I picked one postcard out and asked my friends to write 27 a birthday note. We bought a stamp, wrote some notes and gave the shop owner the postcard.
Three weeks later, I arrived home and 28 my mailbox: Hello, postcard! I broke into a big smile.
That birthday postcard attracted me again to the post office and all its delights. I had 29 the post office all these years. Today I 30 send postcards to friends.

More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It is fun, healthy and good for the environment. Maybe that’s why there are 1.4 billion bicycles and only 400 million cars on roads worldwide today.
Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost! Get on a bicycle and ride around your neighbourhood. You may discover something new all around you. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your car. You can bike to work and benefit (受益) from the enjoyable exercise without polluting the environment. You don’t even have to ride all the way.
Folding (折叠) bikes work well for people who ride the train. Just fold the bike and take it with you. You can do the same on an airplane. A folding bike can be packed in a suitcase. You can also take a common bike with you when you fly. But be sure to look for information by getting on airline websites. Not all airlines are bicycle-friendly to travellers.
Health Benefits of Bicycling: It helps to prevent heart diseases.
Bicycling helps to control your weight.
A 15-minute bike ride to and from work three times a week burns off five kilos of fat in a
year.
Bicycling can improve your mood (心情). Exercise like bicycling has been shown to make people feel better, more relaxed and
self-confident
Bicycling is healthier than driving.

Smoking in indoor public places including public working places, public transport vehicles and some other special outdoor working places has been banned(禁止)in China since January
2011. Let’s look at the following advantages of banning smoking.
First, banning smoking will not only help in saving smokers from health problems and diseases（疾病）, but will also be good for passive (被动) smokers. When the smoker is smoking in a restaurant, the people around him are sure to breathe in the smoke and suffer from the diseases an active smoker gets. If smoking is banned, spread of these diseases can be controlled.
Next, banning smoking will put stress on smokers to give up. Since a smoker is prevented from smoking, he will learn how to live without smoking for long hours. When a smoker doesn’t smell or see anybody around him smoking, it might reduce his wish to smoke too. As a result, people have to give up smoking.
Smoking in public places influences non-smokers to start smoking, especially adolescents. When teens see people around them smoking, they will follow them easily. Thus the number of teen smokers will increase. Also asthma (哮喘) and other problems are often seen in children living around smokers. So if it is banned, these places will become safe for children and teenagers. Looking from the economic point of view, smoking should be banned to increase work productivity (生产率). Employees (雇员) who smoke usually take breaks to smoke while working. So the number of hours they put in their work is smaller.
If you see from the environment point of view, smoking should be banned. Smoking causes air pollution. If it is banned, it will help keep the environment from getting worse. ( ) 37. ________ doesn’t belong to a non-smoking place.
A. A field B.A hospital C.A library D.A restaurant ( ) 38. The second paragraph mainly wants to tell us ______. A. banning smoking is good for restaurants B. banning smoking is good for non-smokers
C. banning smoking is good for spread of diseases
D. banning smoking is good for active smokers and passive smokers ( ) 39. According to the text, the underlined word “adolescents” means ____. A. men B. women C. adults D. teenagers ( ) 40. Which of the following statements in NOT true?
A. If smoking is banned, work productivity will increase.
B. If smoking is banned, the number of teen smokers will be larger. C. If smoking is banned, it will make the environment become better.
D. If smoking is banned, smokers will learn how to live without smoking.

六、根据首字母的提示完成短文（本题共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
Some people prefer to make friends with people who are very like them; others prefer friends who are very different. E 61 of the two kinds of friendship has something better than the other. If a man chooses a friend s 62 to himself, they will share many c 63 interests. They also have similar goals in life. This m 64 that they will be able to help and encourage each other to make their goals come true. Moreover, two people who are very similar will feel happy with each other and may understand each other’s f 65 better. So their friendship may be deeper and last longer.
On the other hand, it is preferable (更可取的) to make friends with s 66 who is very different from you. In this kind of friendship, the two people complement(补充) each other. If one is w 67 , the other is strong. While two people with similar goals may compete with each other, those who want different things can always support each other. With different interests, they can let each other know new e 68 and so widen their knowledge.
However, I find that I prefer the f 69 kind of friendship, that of a person who is more like me than unlike me. A friend different from me is challenging (有挑战性的), b 70 a similar friend is familiar and a friend for life.

Good morning, boys and girl. Today I’ll talk about going online.
We know that there are too many net bars around us. The Internet can make our lives interesting and enjoyable. Many of us like going online very much because we can learn how to use the computer. We can learn English and read some newspapers and magazines to know more around us. It can make us clever in playing computer games. Also when we can send e-mails to our friends they can get them at once. It can help us contact people from all over the world.
But some students spend too much time in playing computer games and some stay in the net bars all day and all night. Some girls even get to have boyfriends or some boys get to have girlfriends online. They write too many letters to each other. It takes them too much time to chat online so they do worse in their lessons and they don’t study well any more. I think we mustn’t get online when it is time for us to study. We can do it in summer or winter holidays. I think we should get online with our teachers or parents.
At the same time, if we have lots of free time, we can do some activities after class. We usually have activities from 4：50 to 5：50 in the afternoon . You can play basket ball or football. We also have some interest groups in school, such as drawing, singing and dancing. We can go to the English corner on Monday afternoon. We hope we can spend more time on our subjects or on such activities that we can learn a lot from and less time on the Internet. Title: A 71 about going online。 ● Make our lives interesting and make us 72 our lives. Advantages ● Learn how to use the computer and can get more 73 . ● Send e-mails to our friends 74 . ● Help us get in 75 with people from all over the world. ● It 76 to much time to play computer games. Disadvantages ● Some students write too 77 letters to each other and spend too much time 78 online so they do worse in their lessons.

I have lived in France for nine years. but I cannot walk down the street without being recognized(认出) as an Englishman from 50 metres away, before I open my mouth. Why?
In Francc, the quickest way to recognize an Englishman is that he'll be the one with the belly(肚子) and the shirt hanging out. Englishmcn often wear shapeless black T-shirts, either too big or too small. However. Frenchmen are more formal in dressing. Their T-shirts have collars(领子). Shorts have buttons and zips rather than drawstrings(拉绳). Shoes look expensive.
Englishmen think of lunchtime as I pm. but for Frcnchmen it is 12 o'clock, one hour earlier. This may explain the sad looks if an Englishman arrives at a local restaurant at 1:30 pm. At that time most restaurants don't have waiters. All the cooking and serving may be done by the boss and his wife. When you arc shown to your table, just sit there and wait. Don't wave your hands to the waiters. Englishmen think guests should do something to make the waiters pay attention to them. But in France some bread and water will come first, then the waiters will take your order according to the rhythm(节奏) of the restaurant. Have enough patience(耐心)!
阅读以上信息，用恰当的词完成下面的表格，每空一词。
Some 81 between Englishmen and Frenchmen Dress Frenchmen ● wear T-shirts with collars ● wear shorts with buttons and zips ● wear shoes which 82 much ● have lunch at noon ● follow the rhythm of the restaurant Englishmen ● wear T-shirts which are shapeless ● wear shorts mostly with drawstrings ● wear shoes which may be cheap ● have lunch at or after 1 pm ● do something to attract the 83 attention Lunch Conclusion ● Englishmen wear 84 formal clothes than Frenchmen. ● Englishmen can’t be 85 enough for meals while Frenchmen can.
