Mr. Frank shot well and once he had come in fourth in a competition.

     Then he went to a big city on business. There he joined the local rifle club. The club had a very good team, which used to take part in a lot of important shooting competitions. One of these took place while Frank was with them. But one of the members of the club's team suddenly fell ill just before the match. The captain had heard of Mr. Frank. He therefore invited Mr. Frank to take the sick man's place.

    Mr. Frank felt greatly happy to be asked to shoot for such a good team, but he also felt very nervous, because he was afraid of making a fool of himself.

More and more often we heard of people talking about Karaoke (卡拉OK). But what on earth it is about still remains a question for many people. Karaoke is a sort of acoustic (听觉的) equipment which was invented in Japan around the middle of the 1970's. It means "a band without people" in Japanese. In fact, it is just a music tape without words. This equipment first appeared in some public houses and snack bars, and mainly for the customers to enjoy themselves. Most of the music in Karaoke was popular music. Therefore, at times,  when anyone felt like it, he might sing songs to the accompaniment (陪伴) of the music that came from the equipment. Shortly after its invention, Karaoke was spread to the whole world. It was introduced to China and was welcomed by many people. Although you are not a good singer, or even sometimes you may sing out of tune, you can always enjoy yourself by singing Karaoke.

It is difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible for housework, but with one of the following suggestions, you really can get your children to help at home.

If you give your children the impression that they can never do anything quite right, then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons. Unless children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent. 

My daughter Carla’s fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class feel special. When students received less than a perfect test score, she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed.

You can use the same technique when you evaluate your child’s work at home. Don’t always scold and give lots of praise instead. Talk about what he had done right, not about what he hasn’t done. If your child completes a difficult task, promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.

Learning is a process of trying and failing and trying and succeeding. If you teach your children not to fear a mistake of failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last. 

11. The whole passage deals with ______.

A. social education  B. school education C. family education  D. pre-school education

12. The author thinks that ______.

A. there is no way to get children to help at home

B. the more encouragement and praise you give, the more responsible and helpful children will become

C. it is very difficult to make children responsible for housework

D. children can be forced to help with housework

13. The article gives us a good suggestion about how to evaluate your child’s work at home. That is to ______.

A. praise his success  B. promise him a trip

C. give him a punishment  D. promise him a ball game

14. The author advises readers to ______.

A. learn from himself, for he has a good way of teaching

B. take pride in Carla’s fifth-grade teacher

C. do as what Carla’s teacher did in educating children 

D. follow Carla’s example because she never fails in the test

15. Having read the last paragraph, we can conclude that ______.

A. pride goes before a fall  B. practice makes perfect

C. no pains, no gains  D. failure is the mother of success

D

The days of elderly women doing nothing but cooking huge meals on holidays are gone. Enter the Red Hat Society －a group holding the belief that old ladies should have fun.

“My grandmothers didn’t do anything but keep house and serve everybody. They were programmed to do that,” said Emily Cornette , head of a chapter of the 7-year-old Red Hat Society.

While men have long spent their time fishing and playing golf, women have sometimes seemed to become unnoticed as they age. But the generation now turning 50 is the baby boomers(生育高峰期出生的人), and the same people who refused their parents’ way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old.

If you take into consideration feminism(女权主义), a bit of spare money, and better health for most elderly, the Red Hat Society looks almost inevitable(必然的). In this society, women over 50 wear red hats and purple(紫色的) clothes, while the women under 50 wear pink hats and light purple clothing.

“The organization took the idea from a poem by Jenny Joseph that begins: “When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple. With a red hat which doesn’t go,” said Ellen Cooper, who founded the Red Hat Society in 1998. When the ladies started to wear the red hats, they attracted lots of attention.

“The point of this is that we need a rest from always doing something for someone else,” Cooper said. “Women feel so ashamed and sorry when they do something for themselves.” This is why chapters are discouraged from raising money or doing anything useful. “We’re a ladies’ play group. It couldn’t be more simple,” added Cooper’s assistant Joe Heywood.

16．The underlined word “chapter” in paragraph 2 means __________. A．one branch of an organization   B．a written agreement of a club C．one part of a collection of poems    D．a period in a society’s history

17．From the text, we know that the “baby boomers” are a group of people who          A．have gradually become more noticeable   B．are worried about getting old too quickly   C．are enjoying a good life with plenty of money to spend  D．tried living a different life from their parents when they were young 

18．It could be known from the text that members of the Red Hat Society are          . A．interested in raising money for social work   B．programmers who can plan well for their future  C．believers in equality between men and women  D．good at cooking big meals and taking care of others 

19．Who set up the Red Hat Society ? A．Emily Cornette.  B．Ellen Cooper.   C．Jenny Joseph .   D．Joe Heywood .

20．Women join the Red Hat Society because          . A．they want to stay young    B．they would like to appear more attractive  C．they would like to have fun and live for themselves  D．they want to be more like their parents 

二．七选五（每小题2分）　根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（请将答案写在答题纸上）

It is said that there are about 40,000 different kinds of jobs in the world. 21

"Finding a job" is not the same as "choosing a job". Many young people end up in a job which they are not suitable for. 22 . Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs which you might enjoy doing after school or university.

First, it is important to realize what kind of person you are, which special qualities make you different from everyone else and what you are interested in. 23 . If you like art and enjoy looking at pictures, that is an interest. But if you can draw a horse that looks like a horse instead of a big dog, that is a skill.

Then ask yourself this question: in the following three areas ? skills with people, skills with information and skills with things ? which are your best skills?

After examining your skills, the next step is research. To find out as many different kinds of jobs as possible, go to the library and read books, magazines and newspapers. 24

Finally, trust your own ideas and your own thinking! 25

A. It is your own life, so find something that you enjoy doing.

B. Choosing the right one itself is a difficult job.

C. We must know what our ideal jobs are.

D. There is a difference between an interest and a skill.

E. Ask your friends about the work they do.

F. "Chance" may play a more important part than "decision"

G. Your parents may also give you some useful advice.

 I'm a newcomer here of a small town. I would describe myself as shy and quietly. Before my classmates,  it

seems always difficult for me to do things well as them. I'm sure they will laugh to me and see me as a fool.

Sometimes, we talked to each other very well in class, but after class we become stranger at once. I am trying

to improve the situation since it doesn't seem to work. Can you tell me about what I should do?

 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 答案

 书面表达  Our class have had a discussion about idol worship. Some of my classmates consider that we need idols that have set  good examples to us. And our idols’ deeds can inspire us to make efforts to make progress. Besides, not a few famous people have benefited from idol worship since they experienced their roads to be famous.

  However, others do not agree. They believe we never need idols and idol worship can do nothing but waste money and time which we should have spent on studies. What’s worse, some unhealthy idol worship may do harm to ourselves as well as others.

  As for me, I’m not opposed to idol worship, but we must be aware that idol worship can’t take the place of our efforts and our future will and should be created by our own hands.

 改错1、of→from      2、quietly→quiet       3、well 前加as  4、to→at        5、happy→unhappy     6、that→why 7、talked→talk    8、stranger→strangers   9、since→but 10、去掉about
