3．请介绍一节你曾经上过，也是你最喜欢的体育课，并说说你的理由．你的作文必须包括以下内容：（文中不能提及你的真实姓名和学校）简要介绍这节体育课的情况你喜欢这节课的理由．

2．In 1801，Giuseppe Piazzi discovered a new object in the sky．He thought it was an undiscovered comet．After further observation，he realized that it behaved more like a small planet than a comet．Piazzi named it Ceres after the Sicillian goddess of grain．Ceres remains the largest known asteroids（小行星）in the sky．It means almost 600 miles（1，000 km） in diameter．By the end of the nineteenth century，several hundred other asteroids had been identified．
Tens of thousands of asteroids have since been discovered，with thousands more found each year．Asteroids are masses of rock and metal that orbit（绕轨道而行）the sun between Mars and Jupiter．They did not form into planets because the perturbations of Jupiter kept them moving too fast to join together．The total mass of all of the asteroids is less than the size of Earth's moon．
Some of the asteroids move in orbits outside the zone between Mars and Jupiter．Asteroids that come relatively close to Earth are known as near-Earth asteroids（NEAs）．Scientists estimate that about 1，000 of these asteroids are 0.6 miles（1km） in diameter．An asteroid of this colliding（碰撞）with Earth would be disastrous．
Scientists have found two sites where giant asteroids struck Earth millions of years ago．One asteroid hit Antarctica about 250 million years ago．Another asteroid struck Mexico's Yucantan Peninsula around 65 million years ago，leaving a hole 112 miles（180km） wide and 1，000 yards （915m） deep．One theory blames the extinction of the dinosaurs on this asteroids's collision with Earth and the climate change that resulted from its impact．
Occasionally，small asteroids strike Earth．These cause little damage．Major collision，such as the one that may have killed the dinosaurs，occur rarely--perhaps only once every 100 million years．
Although the chance of an asteroid striking the planet anytime soon is small，scientists continue to study the orbits of asteroids in the sky．They pay particularly close attention to the asteroids whose paths are close to Earth，and have even landed a spacecraft on an NEA named Eros．Their work helps them learn about the formation of the solar system．It may even help them discover ways to avoid an asteroid disaster in the future．
 
 
66．Which of the following statement is NOT true about asteroids？C
A．Asteroids are composed of rock and metal．
B．Asteroids orbit the sun between Mars and Jupiter．
C．Large near-Earth asteroids are sure to strike Earth．
D．A large asteroid colliding with Earth would cause a disaster．
67．The word"perturbations"（paragraph 2）is closest in meaning to"B"．
A．Formation of rocks          
B．Disturbance of motion
C．Estimation of scientists       
D．Influences of size
68．What scientists have found implies thatB
A．two sites of Earth hit giant asteroids millions of years ago
B．Antarctica was once struck by an asteroid millions of years ago
C．one asteroid left a huge hole in Mexico 250 million years ago
D．the extinction of dinosaurs resulted in asteroid's collision with Earth
69．Which of the following events happened third according to the passage？D
A．Giuseppe Piazzi discovered a new object and name it Ceres．
B．Scientists had a spacecraft land on Eros to learn more about the solar system．
C．Asteroids orbiting the sun failed to form into planets．
D．Several hundred asteroids had been identified by the end of the nineteenth century．

1．About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table，I couldn't help overhearing parts of their conversation．At one point the woman asked，"So，how have you been？"And the boy-who could not have been more than seven or eight years old-replied．"Frankly，I've been feeling a little depressed lately．"
This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing．As far as I can remember，my friends and I didn't find out we were"depressed"，that is，in low spirits，until we were in high school．
Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years．Children don't seem childlike anymore．Children speak more like adults，dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to．
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say，but it certainly is different．Childhood as it once was no longer exists．Why？
Human development is depended not only on born biological states，but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge．Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social posifions．Children have always been taught adult secrets，but slowly and in stages；traditionally，we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders．
In the last 30years，however，a secret-revelation（揭示）machine has been equipped in 98percent of American homes．It is called television．Television passes information to all viewers allke，whether they are children or adults．Unable to resist the temptation（诱惑），many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging，more attractive moving pictures．
Communication through print，as a matter of fact，allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain．Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials．

41．According to the author，feeling depressed isD．
A．a sure sign of a mental problem in a child
B．a mental state present in all humans，including children
C．something that cannot be avoided in children's mental development
D．something hardly to be expected in a young child
42．Traditionally，a child is supposed to learn about the adult worldB．
A．through connection with society     B．gradually and under guidance
C．naturally without being taught      D．through watching television
43．According to the author'that today's children seem adultlike results fromA．
A．the widespread influence of television
B．the poor arrangement of teaching content
C．the fast pace of human scientific development
D．the rising standard of living
44．What does the anthor think of communication through print for children？D
A．It enables children to gain more social information．
B．It develops children's interest in reading and writing．
C．It helps chlldren to read and write well
D．It can control what children are to learn．
45．What does the author think of the change in today's children？B
A．He feels their adultlike behavior is so funny．
B．He thinks the change worthy of note．
C．He considers it a rapid development．
D．He seems to be upset about it．

19．Recently，South Korean star PSY's‘Gangnam style"video has been popular on the Internet．It has become most people's favorite music．
In fact，the song has set the Guinness World Record for the most popular video in the history of the Internet．More than two million people have said"like"since the song was on the Internet on July 15．
PSY"s special dance moves and funny horse riding style have attracted many people．Although many people do not understand the language，the video has become the talk of the Internet．The song has come to first place in the music charts（排行榜） in 31countries，including the United States，the United Kingdom，and Canada．
"I just sang for my South Korean fans．I have never expected it to be popular in other countries，"PSY told the reporters on a concert．The song was so popular that a few of South Korean's politicians showed PSY's moves to attract supporters．
"The song came out in mid-July．It sings about the rich life of South Korea-especially Gangnam in Soeoul，where a lot of rich people live．
Millions of people have watched the video．Many stars，such as Katy Perry，Robbie Williams and Nelly Furtado said that they love the song．These stars performed part of the song at a recent concert．
Riding high on the success of"Gangnam Style"，PSY was signed by Scooter Braun to Braun's Schoolboy Records，a label distributed by Universal Republic．
PSY has written many hit songs of varying styles for different singers．Prior to"Gangnam Style"his most famous composition perhaps was Lee Seung Gi's debut（首次亮相） song"Because You Are My Woman"．

Dear editor，
I'm Wang Ping．I'm writing to offer your newspaper an article Trying to Save Both for Natural Resources and the Environment．
Saving is very important because natural resources in our world may run out one day，so we should save some for our offspring．Meanwhile，saving can help us avoid producing waste，which will make our homeland more beautiful．As students，we should make our contributions．For example，we can recycle our textbooks or use both sides of our exercise books．In this way more trees would be saved．What's more，we Chinese have a good tradition of saving and regard wasting as a shame，so we call for everybody's action to save what we can to make our beautiful life last forever．
Best wishes
Yours sincerely．
