Decide to Do Well
Everybody makes decisions in daily life. They can be as important as what you will do in the future or as simple as what you will eat for breakfast . Any decision could be the turning point of your life.
I made an important decision when I was in Junior 3.
Before I made that decision I was one of the boys who tried too hard to act as an adult. I didn’t know that only kids want to show themselves as adults.
I didn’t listen to my parents and teachers, and my grades became poor. Then came the high school entrance exam.
At the turning point of my life, my mom wanted to have a conversation with me. I wanted to turn it down but when I looked at her eyes, I felt I couldn’t refuse. Instead of asking me to study hard, to my surprise, Mom just asked what I wanted to do in the future. Without thinking too much, I just said I would like to study hard .
Mom smiled and asked again: “ I asked: what do you WANT to do?”
I never seriously thought about the question. So , I kept silent.
“wh ether you want to go on studying or enter the society,” she went on, “it is your own decision. Your life ought to be decided by you, not by anyone else, including me.” After saying that, she had tears in her eyes.
For the first time in my life I was asked to make my own decision. I sat in my chair and thought about myself, my life and what kind of person I wanted to become.
It took me what seemed to be ages to make the biggest decision so far in my life- I wanted to be a man who makes a difference in the world. To achieve that, I needed to study hard.
The path to my future became clear to me. I didn’t act rebelliously(叛逆地) any more. With passion(激情) in my heat, I studied hard.
Now ,I’m 17 and I’m in one of the best schools in my city, in one of the best classes at the school and I am one of the best students in the class.
Thanks to that decision, I have become what I am today.
( )57.When did the writer make the important decision?_____
A. After he was 17 years old. B.After he was in one of the best classes.
C.When he was a pupil. D.When he was studying in Junior 3.
( )58.What was the writer like before the decision?____
A.His grades became poor. B.He tried too hard not to act as an adult.
C.He was one of the top students in his class.
D.He did what his teachers and his parents asked him to do.
( )59.Why did the writer make the decision?______
A. Because his teacher talked with him patiently.
B. Because he didn’t want to act rebelliously any more.
C. Because his mother asked him to study hard as usual.
D. Because his father asked him to think about his future b y himself.
( )60.Which of the following is TRUE?______
A. The writer made the decision that he should work hard.

Long long time ago, the Jade Emperor, organized an animal race. He told all the animals that the first 12 animals to win could get a place in the Chinese Zodiac (十二生肖)，and have a year named after them.
The cat and the mouse both asked the ox to wake them up early on the day of the race. That day, the ox tried to wake them up, but without success. So the kind ox carried them on his back and started running when the race began. The mouse woke up just when the ox was going to across the last river. He knew that he could never beat the cat. So he pushed the cat off the ox’s back. When the ox reached the other side of the river, the mouse jumped off and ran to the finishing line, just before the ox.
So the 12-year cycle(循環(huán))begins with the mouse. The ox comes after him. The tiger follows the ox. The rabbit , dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig come after them. The cat didn’t get a place in the Zodiac. That’s why the cat hates the mouse and always wants to kill it.

A young man was taking a walk with a professor. As they went along, they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path. They thought it belonged to a poor man who worked in a field nearby.
The student turned to the professor, saying, “Let us play the man a trick: we will take away his shoes, and conceal ourselves behind those trees, and wait to see what will happen when he cannot find them. That must be very interesting.”
“My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never play jokes on others because of their being p oor. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the discovery changes him.”
The student did so, and they both hid themselves behind the bushes close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and came back. While putting on his coat, he put his foot into one of his shoes. Feeling something hard, he bent down to see what it was and found the coin. Surprise was seen on his face. And he looked it again and again and put the money into his pocket. When he put on the other shoe, he was surprised again to find the other coin. He then looked up to the sky and said aloud some thanksgiving words to the person who gave him the coins.
The student stood there deeply moved, and his eyes were filled with tears. “You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget. I feel now the truth of these words, which I never understand before, “A small act of kindness brings great joy,” he said.

The government in China plans to end its one-child policy(政策) and let families have two children instead.
The plan was given on Thursday after political meetings in Beijing. There are a number of reasons for the change in policy. The change is meant to balance population development, stop a falling birth rate and strengthen the country’s labor(勞動力) force.
China, with the largest population in the world, started the one-child policy in 1980. But the government allowed only a small number of couples to have two children. For example, some famili es in the countryside could have two children, if the first-born child is a girl.
In 2013, the Chinese government gave other couples a chance to have two children if one of them was an only child.
Jiang Quanbao, a teacher and population expert, explained how Chinese familie s react(反應) to the newest policy. “Too many young people in the cities are no longer interested in having a second child,” he said. “People in the countryside are more interested. But some of them are already allowed to have two children. ”
At the end of 2014, China had 1.37 billion people. A total of 800 million of them have jobs. But the labor market population will drop in 35 years. That is to say, the country will be in great need of labor by the year 2050. With the two-child policy, an increase in births can solve this problem.
Boys and girls, what do you think of the two-child policy? Do you want to have a new-born brother or a sister?
42.Why does the government plan to end the one-child policy?
A. Because we need a larger population.
B. Because millions of people have jobs.
C. Because most families want to have a second child.
D. Because we need to strengthen the country’s labor force.
43.How do most young people in the cities react to the two-child policy?
A. They support the policy.
B. They don't think it is good.
C. They're very interested.
D. They're not interested any more.
44.When will our country be in great need of labor if the one-child policy continues? 2-1-c-n-j-y
A. In 2015. B. In 2035. C. In 2050. D. In 2070
45.The Two-Children Policy mainly ______.
A. helps solve the problems of aging population and labor shortages.
B. doesn’t allow one couple to have two children.
C. has a bad influence on one’s mental health.
D. encourages one couple to have more than two children.2•1•c•n•j•y

第一節(jié) 閱讀理解(共20小題，每小題2分，滿分40分)
閱讀下面四篇材料, 從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項，選出最佳選項。
(A)
On May 23, Shenzhen introduced tough new rules in order to discourage the “Chinese style of crossing the road”. “Chinese people cross roads without thinking about traffic lights, so long as they are part of a crowd,” said a post on Sina Weibo.
A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour, more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.
Many people say that they jaywalk (亂穿馬路) because the red light lasts too long. Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University. The team did research on people’s waiting times at different road crossings for three years. They found that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds before they lost their patience. “People are likely to ignore (忽視) the light when the waiting time is longer than they can bear,” said Ni Ying, a member of the research team.
However, a survey on Sina Weibo suggested that people jaywalk mainly because they ignore rules. “I always obey traffic rules. Time is important but safety should come first,” someone wrote on his Weibo.
Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers. In Singapore, the maximum can be three months in prison. Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions, too. For example, the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang.
But calling on people to respect rules is more important. To completely solve the problem, everyone should realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules.
51. Which of the following is the “Chinese style road crossing”?
A. To cross a road slowly.
B. To follow the basic traffic rules.
C. To wait for the traffic light to turn green.
D. To cross roads without looking at traffic lights.
52. What does the phrase “the team” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. A CCTV news program. B. A research group at Tongji University.
C. A post on Sina Weibo. D. A daily newspaper.
53. How long will Chinese people wait for to cross the road before they lose patience?
A. About five minutes. B. Less than one minute.
C. Less than one and a half minutes. D. More than ten minutes.
54. Why do people jaywalk according to the survey on SinaWeibo?
A. Because people don’t pay much attention to rules.
B. Because there are too many people on the road.
C. Because the red light lasts too long.
D. Because people have less patience.
55. The writer suggests that we should __________ to solve the problem of jaywalking.
A. punish the jaywalkers B. reduce (減少) the time of red lights
C. ignore the traffic rules D. call on people to obey the traffic rules

Imagine one day, the water taps in your house stop running. You have to buy water from shops. And still there isn’t enough for everyone. Your mother has to save the family’s shower water to do other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?
Probably not. But that’s what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts said Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a report, the capital, Sanaa, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.
Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply. Hannan, an 18-year-old from Lahej, told the Times: “In a good week we’ll have a water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.”
Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water truck. Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water – at very high prices.
“A lot of people can’t afford it,” she said.
The average person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic meters of water per year. That is far below the international water poverty line of 1,000 cubic meters.
The government is thinking of making use of seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.

Decide to Do Well
Everybody makes decisions in daily life. They can be as important as what you will do in the future or as simple as what you will eat for breakfast. Any decision could be the turning point of your life.
I made an important decision when I was in Junior 3.
Before I made that decision I was one of the boys who tried too hard to act as an adult. I didn’t know that only kids want to show themselves as adults.
I didn’t listen to my parents and teachers, and my grades became poor. Then came the high school entrance exam.
At the turning point of my life, my mom wanted to have a conversation with me. I wanted to turn it down but when I looked at her eyes, I felt I couldn’t refuse. Instead of asking me to study hard, to my surprise, Mom just asked what I wanted to do in the future. Without thinking too much, I just said I would like to study hard.
Mom smiled and asked again: “I asked: what do you want to do?”
I never seriously thought about the question. So, I kept silent.
“Whether you want to go on studying or enter the society,” she went on, “it is your own decision. Your life ought to be decided by you, not by anyone else, including me.” After saying that, she had tears in her eyes.
For the first time in my life I was asked to make my own decision. I sat in my chair and thought about myself, my life and what kind of person I wanted to become.
It took me what seemed to be ages to make the biggest decision so far in my life—I wanted to be a man who makes a difference in the world. To achieve that, I needed to study hard.
The path to my future became clear to me. I didn’t act rebelliously (叛逆地) any more. With passion (激情) in my heart, I studied hard.
Now, I’m 17 and I’m in one of the best schools in my city, in one of the best classes at the school and I am one of the best students in the class.
Thanks to that decision, I have become what I am today.
66. When did the writer make the important decision?
A. After he was 17 years old. B. After he was in one of the best classes.
C. When he was a pupil. D. When he was studying in Junior 3.
67. What was the writer like before the decision?
A. His grades became poor.
B. He tried too hard not to act as an adult.
C. He was one of the top students in his class.
D. He did what his teachers and his parents asked him to do.
68. How did the writer make the decision?
A. It was easy for him to make the decision.
B. It was his second time to make the decision.
C. He made the decision seriously.
D. It was his mother that made the decision for him.
69. Why did the writer make the decision?
A. Because his teacher talked with him patiently.
B. Because he didn’t want to act rebelliously any more.
C. Because his mother asked him to study hard as usual.
D. Because his father asked him to think about his future by himself.
70. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The writer made the decision that he should work hard.
B. It took the writer several years to make the decision.
C. After hearing his mother’s words, the writer had tears in his eyes.
D. At the turning point of his life, the writer wanted to have a conversation with his mother.

One possible version:
Should students make friends on line? People have different opinions on this. Some students say yes. They express their reasons as follows. Firstly, the Internet can help them make various friends. Secondly, they can express their feelings and thoughts freely. Besides, chatting on line is also helpful for our language study.
However, other students have the opposite view. They have their own reasons. They say making friends on line is a waste of time, which should be spent more meaningfully on study. In addition, some students get cheated on line.
In my opinion, students should place their study, health and safety before other things. As for friendship, we can find it in our classmates and other people around us. / From my point of view, making online friends is not a bad thing if we’re careful enough. Anyway, Internet widens our eyes and enriches our knowledge. However, we shouldn’t spend too much time on it and sometimes be careful with the people we chat with. Only in this way can making online friends be valuable to us.
