The first English week at our school started on May 4th, 2009． The whole school was filled with an English learning atmosphere． A series of activities was held． There were handwriting activities, story writing, English songs, role playing in English, and so on, all the teachers and students were very happy． They spoke English, sang English songs and enjoyed all the activities．

Handwriting was for the students in lower grades． Although most of them couldn’t write so well, they were all very careful about it． In the show window, there were a lot of color1ful handwritten papers． They copied some articles from books or newspapers． And then they decorated them with pictures in different color1s, and some even put their own photos on them． How cute and lovely they looked!

Story writing was for students in Grade 7 and Grade 8． These students are always fond of cartoons, so they got interested in this activity． Reading the stories they made up, all the visitors couldn’t help speaking highly of them．

The most important event was the English show on the last day． The students and teachers presented(上演) a lot of English songs and English operas． Each program won storms of applause．

    One week is not very long, but all the students and teachers learned a lot． Just as the headmaster said, “It is a helpful week． It will certainly lead us to enjoy and learn more from our English studies．”

56． In this passage, the English week is described as__________．

A． surprising              B． boring                  C． enjoyable               D． serious

57． Which of the following is Not true?

A． All the students took part in the handwriting contest．

B． The story writing contest was for students in Grade 7 and Grade 8．

C． The English show was the most important event．

D． Teachers also took part in the English week．

58． What does the underlined word “applause” probably mean?

A． Noise                  B． Cheer                  C． Sound              D． Music

59． What does the writer probably want to tell us at the end of the passage?

A． The activities are a good way to learn English．

B． Students usually don’t like English．

C． The activities last longer．

D． Learning English in the classroom is invaluable．

Many English learners have difficulty deciding what kind of English accent they want to have． A US accent, perhaps modeled on the way a Hollywood star speaks? Or maybe you want to imitate（模仿） the British accent of a BBC news reader?

    Young British people find the US accent attractive while young US people like a British accent． Especially when the person speaking is of the opposite sex! Let’s listen to what they have to say．

Stephen Yang, 17, from London, UK

A US accent is cute, especially when a girl speaks it． Whether it’s Jessia Alba speaking or the girl- next-door, the way US girls speak has a sweet tingle that is really sassy(时髦)． A girl from Texas recently moved into our neighborhood． Her Texan twang（鼻音） had all the boys here on their knees within seconds of meeting her．

To me, accents reflect the attitudes, characteristics and lifestyles of the people．

Jennifer Sun, 16, from New Jersey, US

From watching English actors like Daniel Radcliffe, my friends and I have developed a soft spot for British men． Some are attracted to the qualities of English males, while others admire their sense of style．

Everyone, however, agrees that the most appealing aspect of an English man is his accent． For example, many American girls watch Harry Potter movies over and over again just to listen to the actors speak．

The English accent seems almost like art．

60．In Stephen Yang’s opinion, accents just show__________．

A． the beauty of the language                             B． how the language is spoken

C． the cultural differences of the speakers      D． the fashion of the day

61．The underlined word “cute “probably means__________．

A． strange                  B． exciting                 C． attractive            D． fashionable

62．Many American girls watch Harry Porter again and again in order to __________．

A． learn the acting skills of the these stars

B． learn the magic performed by Harry Potter

C． imitate the actors’ accents

D． know more about British English

63．What is probably the best title for this passage?

A． British English and American English

B． British Accent or American Accent

C． American English Accent is Most Accepted

D． The difference between British Accent and American Accent．

Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers． But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents． “The door to his room is always shut．” Joanna noted．

Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter． “she used to cuddle up（拥抱） with me on the sofa and talk．” said Mark． “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something． Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady． The problem is figuring out which time is which．”

Before age 11, Children like to tell their parents what’是 on their minds． “In fact, parents are first on the list．” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers． “This completely changes during the teen years．” Riera explained． “They talk to their friends first, and then maybe their teachers and their parents last．”

Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them． To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them． And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young． Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with children is a better way to know them．
64． “The door to his room is always shut” suggests that the son__________．

A． is always busy with his studies              

B． doesn’t want to be disturbed

C． keeps himself away from his parents         

D． begins to dislike his parents

65． What troubles Tina and Mark most is that__________．

A． their daughter isn’t as lovely as before

C． they don’t know what to say to their daughter

D． their daughter talks with them only when she needs help

66． Which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph?

A． Teenagers talk a lot with their friends．

B． Teenagers do not want to understand their parents．

C． Teenagers do not talk much with their parents．

D． Teenagers talk little about their own lives．

67． What can be learned from the passage?

A． Parents are unhappy with their growing children．

B． Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers．

C． Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers．

D． Parents should try to understand their teenagers．

In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bikes to work every day． In New York, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City． They declare that if more people rode bikes to work, there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown part of the city and so less dirty air form car engines．

For several years, this group had been trying to get the city government to help bike riders． For example, they want the city to draw special lanes(车道) for bikes on some of the main streets, because when bike riders must use the same lanes as cars there are accidents． Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bikes．

But no bike lanes have been drawn． Not everyone thinks it is a good idea—they say it will slow traffic． Some store owners on the main streets don’t like the idea—they say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business．

The city government has not yet decided what to do． It wants to keep everyone happy． On weekends, Central Park—the largest place open ground in New York— is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bikes only．

68． In New York, a group of bike riders__________．

A． are keeping practicing for health    

B． have no cars of their own

C． are complaining there are not enough buses

69． The bike riders suggest that __________．

70． The advantage of the special lanes is that__________．

A． they will make cars and buses run slowly

B． they will make it easier for bike riders to go to parks

C． they will make the city more beautiful

D． they will prevent accidents
