A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ￥100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students， “Who would like this ￥100 bill？” The students began to put up their hands at once.
Then he said， “I am going to give this ￥100 to one of you， but first， let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said， “Who wants it now？” The hands went back into the air.
“Well，” he said， “What if I do this？” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty， crumpled bill and said， “Who still wants it？” Hands went back into the air.
“My friends，” he said， “you have learned a valua-ble lesson today. No matter  what I did to the money， you still wanted it because it did not go down in value （價值）。 It was still worth ￥ l00！”
Many times in our lives， we are dropped， crum-pled， and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember， no matter what has happened to you， you will never lose your value： you are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value doesn‘t come from what you do or whom you know， but WHO YOU ARE.
You are special and valuable. Don‘t ever forget it！
小題1:Even though it was dirty， the money _______.
A．still went up in valueB．was worth nothing
C．didn‘t go down in valueD．was still ours
小題2:We are always valuable to the people _______.
A．who pay usB．who call us
C．who hate usD．who love us
小題3:The sentence “Hands went back into the air” means “_______”。
A．the students put up their hands again
B．the students put down their hands
C．the students put their hands behind their backs again
D．the students put their hands in front of them
小題4: Why did the famous teacher use a ￥100 bill at his lesson？
A．Because he wanted to make the bill into a ball.
B．Because he used to drop a bill on the floor and stepped on it.
C．Because he was going to give the bill to one of his students.
D．Because he wanted to make the students know what value was.

小題1:C
小題2:D
小題3:A
小題4:D

1. Ｃ　細節(jié)題，根據(jù)you still wanted it because it did not go down in value可知它不會貶值，故選Ｃ。
2. Ｄ　從you are always valuable to those people who love you可知是愛你的人，選Ｄ。
3. Ａ　語句猜測題，需從上文來看。Go back是回到的意思,從表面意思來看是：手又重新放到空中，換句話說就是又舉手了，故選Ａ。
4. Ｄ　主旨題的考查。文章主要講的是人的價值，老師只是通過錢的價值來引出來的，這是文章的升華。Ａ,Ｂ,Ｃ三個答案只是一種淺顯的現(xiàn)象，不可取。故選Ｄ。

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge(向…挑戰(zhàn))yourself. So you can not always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋轉(zhuǎn))door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
小題1:Those who have big houses may often feel         .
A．happyB．lonelyC．freeD．excited
小題2:When you fall down in a PE class, both your teacher and your classmates will     .
A．laugh at youB．play jokes on you
C．quarrel with youD．help you up
小題3:What will your friends say to you when you make great progress?
A．Oh, so do IB．Congratulations
C．Good luckD．It’s just so-so
小題4: Which idea is NOT right according to the passage?
A．People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air
B．You can get help from others when you make mistakes
C．You can still be a happy person even if you have little money
D．Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you
小題5: Which of the following is this passage about?
A．Bad luckB．Good luckC．Happiness D．Life

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, but will also be good for passive(被動)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(生產(chǎn)率).Employees(雇員)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.
小題1:________doesn’t belong to a non-smoking place.
A．A fieldB．A hospitalC．A libraryD．A restaurant
小題2: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
小題3:How many advantages of banning smoking are mentioned in this passage?
A．Two.B．Four.C．Five.D．Six.
小題4:According to the text, the underlined word “adolescents” means ______.
A．menB．womenC．a(chǎn)dultsD．teenagers
小題5: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.

The world is not only hungry but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70% of the earth’s surface is covered with water. But about 97% of that is sea water or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% of fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground and so on. And we can not even use all of that because some of it has been made dirty.
Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember how important water is. The water that we use is the most important natural resource on the earth. Today we face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too.
How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First they pollute the air. Then when it rains, the rain water makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid rain is also bad for plants, animals and buildings. Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won’t have enough clean water. We have to learn how to stop wasting water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system (下水道). From there it returns to the sea or goes underground.
But even though every large city reused its water, we would still not have enough. So we should make use of sea water by removing the salt in it. If we can take these steps, fresh water won’t be used up.
小題1:The world is thirsty for water because _______.
A．we don’t have enough fresh waterB．a(chǎn) lot of water goes into sewer systems
C．only 70% of the earth’s surface is waterD．sea water is widely used rather than fresh water
小題2:From this passage, we know acid rain _______.
A．is only bad for living thingsB．is not bad for buildings and factories
C．can be produced in factoriesD．is bad for people, animals, plants and buildings
小題3:One difficult way we can solve the problem is to _______.
A．use the water with salt in itB．remove the salt from sea water
C．get water from undergroundD．reuse the water in cities
小題4:What is the best title for this passage?
A．Fresh water and sea waterB．A thirsty country
C．The importance of waterD．The world’s water problem

The weather can influence(影響)intelligence(智力). For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year(July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot weather. At about 18 °C, people become stronger.
Lower air pressure may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18 °C.
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.
小題1:What can influence people’s intelligence according to the first paragraph?
A．Feeling.B．Diet.C．HealthD．Weather.
小題2:Students get worse on exams because ___________.
A．they take exams in hot monthsB．they take exams in cold months
