The children drew animals, flowers and people playing soccer under a blue bright sky. They wished each football team good luck by drawing the flags of all the countries that will take part in the World Cup in Japan and South Korea. The picture was put up in a park near a playground in Yokohama. Some football teams will have games there.

Passage 2
Computers can injure you. Most other injuries happen suddenly. For example，if you fall off a bike and break your arms，it happens very quickly. But computer injuries happen slowly.
    You probably know how to ride a bike safely. Now learn to use a computer safely.
    Your eyes
    Too much light can injure your eyes，so never sit too close to a computer screen. Your eyes should be at least 50cm from the screen. Remember to look away from it sometimes. This gives your eyes a rest.
    When you use a computer, the window should be on your left or your right. If it is behind you, the light will reflect on (反射) the screen. If the window is in front of you, the sun and the screen will both shine into your eyes.
    Your hands and wrists
    Hand and wrist injuries can happen because the hands and wrists are moved in the same way hundreds of times. If you use a keyboard for a long time，follow these three rules:1) Rest your wrists on some thing. 2) Keep your elbows (肘) at the same height as the keyboard. 3) Stop sometimes and exercise your hands，wrists and fingers in a different way.
    Your back
    Some people sit for many hours in front of a computer. If you sit in the wrong way，you can injure your back or your neck. So you should sit with your back straight. The top part of the screen should be in front of your eyes. Your forearms，wrists，hands and the upper part of your legs should all be parallel (平行) to the floor. If you are sitting for a long time，get up every 30 minutes and exercise your arms，legs and neck.
    Enjoy your computer，but use it safely.

Passage 4
When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one—year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America's fastest growing businesses.
What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples — people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.
One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually people don't like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.
16. Which of the following has become one of America's fastest growing businesses?    D   
A. Selling home furnishings.

Passage 5
   There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.
   Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.
The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.
Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.
21. Our long-term goals mean a lot    B   .
  A. if we cannot reach solid short-term goals
  B. if we complete the short-term goals
  C. if we have dreams of the future
  D. if we put forward some plans
22. New short-term goals are built upon    D   .
  A. a daily basis
  B. your achievement in a week
  C. current activities
  D. the goals that have been completed
23 When we complete each step of our goals,    C   .
  A. we will win final success
  B. we are overwhelmed
  C. we will build up our confidence to achieve success
  D. we should have strong desire for setting new goals
24. What is the main idea of this passage?    C   
  A. Life is a dynamic thing.
  B. We should set up long-term goals.
  C. Different kinds of goals in life.
  D. The limitation of long-term goals.
25. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage?    C   
  A. The long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without achieving short-term goals.
  B. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals.
  C. Life is a static thing, thus never allowing a long-term goal to limit us.
  D. We should often add new short-term goals to what have been completed.
Passage 6
How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.
The power of words, then, lies in their associations — the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.
26. The origin of language is    D   .
A. a legend handed down from the past  
B. a matter that is hidden or secret
C. a question difficult to answer   
D. a problem not yet solved
27. What is true about words?    C   
A. They are used to express feelings only.  
B. They can not be written down.
C. They are simply sounds.     
D. They are mysterious.
28. The real power of words consists in their    D   .
A. properties       B. characteristics
C. peculiarity       D. representative function
29. By "association" in the last paragraph, the author means    B   .
A. a special quality      B. a joining of ideas in the mind
C. an appearance which is puzzling D. a strange feature
30. Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true?    A   
A. He is no more than a master of words.
B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.
C. He can move men to tears.
D. His style is always charming.

第六部分：写作
1、根据下面所给的题目和中文提纲用英语写出一篇不少于80词的短文。
Where to Live
1.有人喜欢住在城市；
2.有人喜欢住在农村；
3.你的看法。
答：       Where to Live
Some people enjoy living in big cities while the others like living in the countryside. In big cities, people have more chances to find jobs and they have more entertainment. Big store and shopping centers offer all kinds of goods. But big cities have some problems. There are more and more people, and vehicles. As a result, pollution becomes more and more serious.
Some people prefer living in the countryside because people there are usually friendly and air is fresh and clean. You can see trees and plants everywhere. But in the countryside, people have less chance to make money and they would have less entertainment.
To me, rural life has more advantages than urban life. In one word, rural life is better than city life, beneficial for people there to enjoy a peaceful and healthy lifestyle.

Failure is the Mother of Success
1.你对"失败乃成功之母"的看法；
2.举例说明你的看法。
答：     Failure is the Mother of Success
All of us experience failure every now and then. Failure or the threat of failure is something that we have to live with all our lives.
    Although, some people will avoid failure at all costs, some people welcome it. Failure can be a good teacher. It always teaches us to be better the second time around. As they say, "The more you try, the more you'll succeed."
    There is some wisdom to be learned from failure. If we can learn to turn a failure to our advantage, we will have learned another secret to success. Failure is the mother of success and success that comes after failure is so sweet.
