（本试卷分第I卷和第II卷两部分，共150分。考试时间120分钟）

首要节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出合适选项，并涂在题卡上（靠左涂：1+班+学号）
A
What is language for? Some people seem to think it’s for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words—the longer the lists, the better. That’s wrong. Language is for the exchange （交流） of ideas and information. It’s meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’t use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can’t speak correctly or fluently （流利地）. They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard Shaw once wrote. “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They’re English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. People not only make history, they make language. But a people can only make its own language. It can’t make another people’s language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar, but they shouldn’t overdo （做过头） it. They should put communication （交际） first.
1. Language is used to ______.
A. communicate with others B. practice grammar rules
C. talk with foreigners only D. learn lists of words
2. Generally, when an American or an Englishman speaks English, he ______.
A. never makes mistakes B. often makes mistakes
C. can’t avoid making mistakes D. always makes mistakes
3. “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” This sentence means that ______.
A. foreigners speak correct English
B. foreigners speak incorrect English
C. foreigners don’t speak English naturally enough
D. foreigners seldom make mistakes when speaking English
4. When we speak a foreign language, we should ______.
A. speak in Chinese way
B. speak by the rules
C. speak to native speakers
D. not be afraid of making mistakes
B
If we want to deal with the association （交往） between boys and girl properly, here are some “dos and don’ts” for you to follow.
Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very natural for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. We should keep in touch with the other sex （性别） in public instead of in secret.
Don’t be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out. First of all, you can make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.
Don’t fall into the ditch of early love. The boys and girls at adolescence （青春期） are rich in feeling. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apple won’t taste sweet until it is fully ripe. Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love.
5. The main idea of the passage is to ______.
A. tell students to keep away from early love
B. give some advice on how to associate between boys and girls
C. tell students how to make friends
D. teach boys how to talk with girls
6. We should keep in touch with the other sex in the following EXCEPT ______.
A. with a good state of mind B. in real friendship
C. in public D. in secret
7. If you are a shy person, you can ______.
A. find friends with the same interest and hobby first
B. only have a few friends of the same sex
C. not make friends with the other sex
D. not fail in love with other students easily
C
What would you do if you saw a mountain gorilla （黑猩猩）? Most people would probably be very afraid and run away. That’s because gorillas have a very frightening appearance. Firstly, gorillas are very big. They can grow up to 2 metres tall and can weigh more than 200 kilograms (male gorillas weigh twice as much as female gorillas). Secondly, gorillas can make a lot of noise. They can roar, beat their chests and show their teeth. In fact, these angry actions are very rare and male gorillas only do it when their families are under attack.
The truth is, gorillas are incredibly intelligent, gentle and social animals that stay together in small family groups. The leader is the largest male, and is called the silverback. That’s because of the beautiful silver fur on its back. Gorillas spend almost all their time on the forest floor, eating and sleeping. They are mainly vegetarian, although they eat some insects. Young gorillas often play together. They run around and climb trees. At night, the animals make a nest to sleep in. the lighter gorillas nest in trees. The heavier gorillas make nests on the ground and babies sleep with their mothers. Gorillas rarely attack humans. They only fight when something or someone attacks them or their young. In that situation, they will fight to the death. Hunters looking for baby gorillas may have to kill the whole family to get what they want.
Sadly, there are fewer than 650 mountain gorillas left in the wild, which means they are an endangered animal. These gorillas only live in the mountain jungles of central Africa. They are endangered because people hunt them for food and for sport. They are also threatened by war, and humans cutting down their forests for farmland, fuel and housing. Life for these gentle giants isn’t peaceful.
8. What is a silverback according to the passage?
A. Any gorillas with silver fur.
B. Any male gorillas in the group.
C. The leader in the gorillas family.
D. The oldest gorillas in the group.
9. Where would you expect to find a silverback gorillas sleeping at night?
A. In the trees. B. On the ground.
C. With the baby gorillas. D. Away from others.
10. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. fighters B. hunters C. baby gorillas D. gorilla families
11. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To describe the lifestyle of mountain gorillas.
B. To summarize （概括） the details of the passage.
C. To explain why mountain gorillas are endangered.
D. To examine the behavior （行为） of mountain gorillas.
D
“Have a nice day” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure （安全） since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
“Have a nice day. Next!” The version of the expression is spoken by a salegirl at supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words came out in the same tone （强调） with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.
The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day”
The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.
12. How does the author understand Maxie’s words?
A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.
B. Maxie really wishes the author a good day.
C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.
D. Maxie really worries about the author’s security.
13. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. The salesgirl is rude.
B. The salesgirl is bored.
C. The salesgirl cares about me.
D. The salesgirl says the words as a routine （例行公事）.
14. By saying “Have a nice day”, a stranger may ______.
A. try to be polite to you
B. express respect to you
C. give his blessing to you
D. share his pleasure with you
15. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Have a Nice Day—a Social Custom
B. Have a Nice Day—a Pleasant Gesture
C. Have a Nice Day—a Heart-warming Greeting
D. Have a Nice Day—a Polite Ending of a Conversation
