二、阅读理解（40分）
Frankly，I appreciate myself very much.Yes，I admit I’m in many aspects not as good as other people，but I don’t think I’m always not good.When I find what I’ve done or written is okay，I’ll remain pleased with myself for quite a few days，and if I receive praise for it，I’ll even become so excited as to add a few words to reward myself.
True，I’m not modest at all.People may call me conceited (自负的)．But I think otherwise. I appreciate other people.I appreciate anything good.Isn’t it unfair to forget appreciating myself while appreciating others?
We Chinese generally tend to be modest，and we take pride in being so.For example，a Chinese man will call his own wife zhuojing，meaning“my humble wife”，and his own writings zhuozuo，meaning“my poor writings”．But if you call his wife a “rustic (乡村的) woman” or his writings“trash”，he would，I’m sure，declare he would make a clean break with you angrily.As a

B．first C．hardest B．record C．describe B．treated C．served
D．easiest D．imagine
D．charged
matter of fact，there is probably no difference at all between what is said by him and you.
I don’t think it’s wrong of you to freely praise yourself if you’re really worthy of praise.As we know，there is an old Chinese saying disparaging (蔑视) a melon(西瓜) seller，named Lao Wang，who keeps praising his own goods.Well，why can’t he praise his melons if they are really sweet and juicy?
Lao Wang sells melons for a living.How could he carry on business if he，by imitating the affectations (装模作样) of us intellectuals，were to show false modesty about his melons？He would sure enough die of starvation（饿死）.
Self-appreciation is therefore a key to professional dedication and enjoyment of work.Needless to say，the same is true of those who make a living with their pen.One will lose confidence in writing when he stops admiring his own essays.
1．We know from the first three paragraphs that the author________. A．is modest in some way B．is pleased to be a good writer C．is too conceited D．thinks it unfair to appreciate others
2．What do we know about the author’s attitude towards Chinese modesty according to Paragraph 4?
A．Supportive. B．Negative. C．Neutral. D．Careless. 3．The author mentions the example of Lao Wang to prove that______. A．Lao Wang is very proud of himself B．melon sellers should praise their goods C．reasonable self-appreciation is good D．writers should learn from Lao Wang
4．The purpose of the passage is to encourage readers to be________. A．modest C．respectful
B．considerate
B篇
I found out one time that doing a favor for someone couldget you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time,and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not

write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.
Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed（解散）. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (负责任) for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized（强调） the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating（欺骗） themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously（认真地） about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.
Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued（继续） to believe that I had cheated on the test. 5. The story took place（发生） exactly ____________ . A. in the teacher’s office B. in an exam room C. in the school D. in the language lab 6. The girl wanted to borrow a pen, because ____________ .
A. she had not brought a pen with her B. she had lost her own on her way to school C. there was something wrong with her own D. her own had been taken away by someone 7. The teacher saw all this, so she asked the boy ____________ . A. to go on writing his paper B. to stop whispering
C. to leave the room immediately D. to stay behind after the exam 8. The thing(s) emphasized in her talk was(were) ____________ . A. honesty B. sense of duty C. seriousness D. all of the above

George Banks was a clever journalist. He worked for a good newspaper, and he liked arguing very much. He argued with anybody, and about anything. Sometimes the people whom he argued with were as clever as he was, but often they were not.
D．Confident
He did not mind arguing with stupid people at all: he knew that he could never persuade them to agree, because they could never really understand what he was saying, and the stupider they were, the surer they were that they were right; but he often found that stupid people said very amusing things.
At the end of one argument which George had with one of these less clever people, the man said some-thing which George has always remembered and which has always amused him.

D篇
We may be very pleased with the rapid progress we have made in every field of study. But the way to test a student's knowledge and ability still remains as poor as it was, We have almost done nothing to improve our examination system.
- 3 -
It is well known that the examination system we are now using may be a good way of testing a student's memory, but it can tell you nothing about a student's ability. It does no good to students and teachers.
As soon as a child begins school,he enters a world of examination that will decide his future of job.
In fact a good examination system should train a student to think for himself. But it now does nothing about that. So students are encouraged to member what is taught. It does not enable them to gain more and note knowledge. The students who come out first in the examination often may not be the best in their studies.
Besides, the examinations often force teachers to train students what to do with the coming examination from time to time. There must be some simpler and better way to test a student' s ability besides knowledge. And that is what we should do at once.
13. Now little has been done to________.
A. decide a student's job B. test a student's ability C. test a student's knowledge D. test a student's memory
14. The examination system we are now using can only make the students________. A. gain more and more knowledge B. make rapid progress C. remember what is taught D. think for themselves
15. In order to make students gain high marks in the coming examination, teachers have to________.
A. develop their students' ability
B. fill their students' heads with much information C. teach freely
D. teach their students how to study
16. The passage tells us about the importance of________.
A. getting examination system improved B. taking examinations C. testing a student' s knowledge D. working hard at all lessons
E篇
There are robots all around us. Some do very complicated jobs like flying airplanes and driving subway trains. And some do one simple job. When an automatic washing machine is
switched on, water pours in. The machine waits until the water is warm enough for washing clothes. It does this by “feedback”(反馈). Information about what is happening is feedback into the robot to tell what to do next. Our eyes, ears and other senses are our feedback. They tell us what is going on around us. So robots are like human beings in two ways.
They work and they have feedback. In some ways robots are better than human beings. They work quickly and do not make mistakes. They do not get bored doing the same job over and over again. And they never get tired. So robots are very useful in factories. They can be taught to do many different jobs. First their electronic brain must be shown how the job is done. A person moves the robot’s “arms” and “hands” through each part of the job.
The most intelligent robots can move and see. Their eyes are cameras. Their fingers can feel shapes and sizes of the objects. These robots have computer brains linked to their eyes and fingers, which control their actions. The most intelligent robots cave robots are used in scientific research. They do such job as handling radioactive materials. 17. In this passage the author tells us that ________.
A. robots are very popular B. there are various kinds of robots C. we see robots only at certain times D. robots can be easily controlled 18. What does the author seem to inform you about robots?
A. They should be greatly improved. B. They will probably take over in the future. C. They are very helpful and useful to humans. D. They are machines that break down a lot. 19. The fact that a robot never gets bored doing the same job means that _______. A. it is very much like human beings B. it can do boring jobs for people
C. it will never bore people D. it will work much better than human beings 20. The robots used for scientific research _______. A. are not very clever B. are very cheap C. are very big D. are very costly 第二部分：（共四大题，计80分） 三、语法填空（10分）
