Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.
Grown-ups can hardly find children’s games exciting, and they（高考学习网WwW.GaoZhong.CC/） often feel puzzled（迷惑的）at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.
It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.
24． What is true about children when they play games?
A. They can stop playing any time they like.
B. They can test their personal abilities.
C. They want to pick a better team.
D. They don’t need rules.
25． To become a leader in a game the child has to ________.
A. play well
B. wait for his turn
C. be confident in himself
D. be popular among his playmates
26． Why does a child like playing games?
A. Because he can be someone other than himself.
B. Because he can become popular among friends.
C. Because he finds he is always lucky in games.
D. Because he likes the place where he plays a game.
27． The writer believes that _____.
A. children should make better rules for their games.
B. children should invite grown-ups to play with them.
C. children’s games can do them a lot of good.
D. children play games without reasons.

One day an American called Simon went to London to visit his friend, Rick. Rick told him that his flat was on the first floor. When he arrived, Simon went straight to the first floor of the building. But he was told that there was no Rick on that floor. Do you know why?
In fact, the British call the first floor of a building the ground floor. The floor above the ground floor is the first floor, which Americans would call the second floor.
The story shows that there are a few culture differences between Britain and America, though the British and Americans both speak English.
The British usually hide their feelings. They seldom start a conversation with strangers. For example, on the train the British often spend their time reading newspapers or books. But Americans are quite different. They’re more active and easier to talk with.
The British and Americans may use different terms for many things. The British usually use football, eraser and mail while Americans prefer to use soccer, rubber and post.
28．Simon went to London to ______.
A. visit his friend        B. spend his holiday
C. study English           D. have a meeting
29．Which picture shows us where Rick’s flat was? ______.

30．According to the passage, the British usually spend their time ______ on the train.
A. playing cards            B. talking loudly
C. doing some reading       D. singing and dancing
31．What does the underlined word “terms” mean in Chinese in the passage? ______.
A. 成果  B.学期   C. 会议   D. 用语

Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don't give friendship back. That is why some friendships don't last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous (宽宏大量的); be understanding.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven't been honest, you may lose your friend's trust. Good friends always rely on one another to speak and act honestly.
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know better.
Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend's place so that you can understand the problem better.
No two friendships are exactly alike (相同的). But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.
32．Some friendships don't last long because _____.
A. there are too many people who want to make friends
B. those who give others friendship receive friendship from others
C. some people receive friendship but don't give friendship back
D. they don't know friendship is something serious
33．According to the passage, honesty is _____.
A. something countable
B. the base of friendship
C. as important as money
D. more important than anything else
34．In the third paragraph, the underlined word 'they' refers to (指) _____.
A. generosity and friendship             B. generosity and sharing
C. your ideas and feelings               D. your clothes
35．The best title of this passage is _____.
A. How to Be a Friend
B. Honesty Is the Best Policy
C. A Friend in Need Is a Friend indeed
D. Three Important Points in Life

第三节、根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项根据短文内容。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）。

Culture means any human behavior that is learned in human society. All of the meaningful parts of a culture are passed on to different generations through tradition or social learning.   36．   Culture exists in agricultural as well as industrialized societies.
Culture is necessary for the survival and existence of human beings as human beings. Practically everything humans know, think, value, feel, and do is learned through taking part in a sociocultural system.   37．   Here is one of the cases of children growing up apart from human society. In the province of Midnapore in India, the director of a children’s home was told by local villagers that there were “ghost” in the forest. Upon looking into the case, the director found that two children, one about eight years old and the other about six years old, appeared to have been living with a pack of wolves in the forest.  38．    In his diary, the director describes his first view of Kamala (as the older child was named) and Amala ( the name given to the younger child):
Kamala was a terrible-looking being, the head, a big ball of something covering the shoulders.    39．    Their eyes were bright and sharp, unlike human eyes. They were very fond of raw meat and raw milk. Gradually, as they got stronger, they began going on all fours, and afterwards began to run on all fours, just like squirrels松鼠.Children learn human language in the same way they learn other kinds of human behavior——by taking part in a cultural community.   40．
A. From this viewpoint, all human groups have a culture.
B. Close at its heels there came another terrible creature exactly like the first, but smaller in size.
C. Human beings can only develop human abilities by the local people.
D. This statement is well supported by some well-written cases.
E. These children were the ghosts described by the local people.
F. Culture refers only to the high art and classical music of a particular society.
G. They learn a certain human languages as well as certain kinds of human behavior
through their membership in a certain cultural community.

Many stories happened at the Children’s Medical Care Center,   41．   deeply touched us. We saw a lot of children without hair because of their treatment. We played with them and taught them to draw pictures. They suffered great pains,  42．  were very friendly. It was much easier to communicate with them than we  43．  (expect).
One day, a girl suggested  44．  (teach) us how to fold paper. She taught us  45．   great patience, explaining each step slowly and clearly. Though we could easily do that, we still pretended (假装) to know nothing about it. We followed her and did everything she told us. Finally, when we finished our work   46．(success), she gave each of us  47．   big hug. We could see the pride and happiness on her face. Her father was   48．   thankful to us that he held our hands tightly, tears in his eyes. It was not until then 49．   we knew the girl would receive an operation the next day.
It was really a valuable experience to us all. We began to think about how to deal with the difficulties in life, because   50．(compare) with what these kids are going through, our “troubles” seem not worth mentioning at all.

Dear John,
How’s everything? We haven’t seen each other for long. I’m very exciting to receive an e-mail from you. I’m glad you have made so great progress that you can write your e-mail with good Chinese.

【小题5】What--How
【小题6】加上has
【小题7】去掉of
【小题8】obviously--obvious
【小题9】one--that
【小题10】hear--hearing
【解析】
试题分析：这是一位中国学生写给外国笔友的信。他对外国笔友的中文水平的提高感到惊叹，同时也邀请这位朋友来中国玩。
【小题1】exciting—excited 考查形容词。本句考查形容词exciting和excited之间的区别。exciting意为令人兴奋的而excited意为感到兴奋的。根据主语I可知，此处指的是我感到很兴奋。故把exciting改成excited。
【小题2】so—such 考查so和such的区别。so是修饰形容词和副词，而such修饰名词。本句是修饰progress的，故把so改成such。
【小题3】with—in 考查介词。本句考查介词用法，用语言是介词in而非with，故把介词with改成in。
【小题4】parent—patents 考查名词。父母应用复数形式parents，故改成复数形式。句意为：我把你写给我父母的email读给他们听。
【小题5】What—How 考查感叹句。感叹句有两种形式，分别由what和how来引导。What+a+adj+n!或How+adj+a+n!/How+n+v!本句应是由how引导，故把what改成how，句意为：时间飞逝！
【小题6】加上has 考查时态。根据时间状语for several months可知，此句时态为现在完成时。故加上has。
【小题7】去掉of 考查a lot。本句考查a lot和a lot of的区别。a lot是表示程度的短语，一般修饰动词；而a lot of是修饰名词的，表示许多。本句是修饰动词learn，故用a lot，表示学到了很多。
【小题8】obviously—obvious 考查形容词。本句为形容词作表语，故把obviously改成obvious。句意为：很明显澳大利亚的生活和中国的生活是非常不同的。
【小题9】one—that 考查代词。本句考查代词one和that之间的区别。one为泛指，相当于a+名词，代指上文出现的可数名词单数，而that为特指，相当于the+名词，代指上文出现的可数或不可数名词。本句代指上文出现的life，特指中国的生活，故把one改成that。
【小题10】hear—hearing 考查非谓语动词。本句中的look forward to的to为介词，其后的动词用ving形式，故把hear改成hearing。

Dear Peter,
I’m glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on how to learn Chinese well.
Here are a few suggestions. First, it is important to take a Chinese course, as you’ll be able
to learn from the teacher and practice with your fellow students. Then, it also helps to watch TV and read books, newspapers and magazines in Chinese whenever possible.
Besides, it should be a good idea to learn and sing Chinese songs, because by doing so you’ll learn and remember Chinese words more easily. You can also make more Chinese friends. They will tell you a lot about China and help you learn Chinese.
Try and write me in Chinese next time.
Best wishes
Li Hua
【解析】
试题分析：本篇书面表达要求给朋友回信，介绍学好中文的方法。书信是同学们熟悉的写作体裁，而且信的开头已经给出，所以写作时不需要注意书信的格式，这使得文章的写作更加容易。在写作前要确定文章的时态和人称，根据本文要求可以判断应该用一般现在时和第一人称。写作要点也就是学习中文的方法要包括四个方面，即1. 参加中文学习班;2. 看中文书刊、电视节目；3. 学唱中文歌曲；4. 交中国朋友。在写作时需用适当表示顺序的词来进行上下文的衔接，以增加文章的可读性和层次性。此外，还要尽量使用高级词汇和多种句式来提高文章档次。
【亮点说明】本篇范文首先开门见山提出写信的目的，也就是如何学好中文。然后在第二段和第三段介绍了几种有效的方法。在写作时作者运用了Here are a few suggestions.作为过渡句，引出了要讲述的要点。然后在介绍方法，给出建议时用First, Then, Besides, 等连接词，使文章内容连贯，而且有了很强的层次性。此外，作者还运用了状语从句as you’ll be able to learn from the teacher and practice with your fellow students. 和because by doing so you’ll learn and remember Chinese words more easily.，非谓语结构 asking for my advice on how to learn Chinese well等增加了文章的亮点。
