Hundreds of years ago, a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots, a brave people, loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland, but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.

One night, the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight, my men，” he said, “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.”

They were all very tired, so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty, but they, too, were very tired, and one by one, also fell asleep.

The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hill, taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more, the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle (蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment, they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.

The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it. But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.

24．At first it looked as if the Romans would win because ________. A．the Scots were not brave B．there were so many Romans C．the Scots did not have a good leader

Millions of people all over the world use the word okay. In fact, some people say the word is used more often than any other word in the world.

It may be common, but no one can seem to agree on how the \"OK\" came to be.

Okay means \"all right\" or \"acceptable\". It expresses agreement or approval. You might ask your brother, “Is it okay if I borrow your car?” Or if someone asks you to do something, you might say,\" Okay, I will.\" Still, language experts do not agree about where the word came from.

Some people say it came from the Native American Indian tribe known as the Choctaw. The Choctaw word \"okeh\" means the same as the American word okay. Experts say early explorers in the American West spoke the Choctaw language in the nineteenth century. The language spread across the country.

But many people dispute(争论)this.

Language expert Allen Walker Read wrote about the word okay in reports published in the 1960s.He said the word began being used in the 1830s.It was a short way of writing a different spelling of the words \"all correct.\" Some foreign﹣born people wrote \"all correct\" as \"o﹣1﹣1k﹣o﹣r﹣r﹣e﹣c﹣t.\" and used

the letters O.K.

Other people say a railroad worker named Obadiah Kelly invented the word long ago. They said he put the first letters of his names﹣O and K﹣on each object people gave him to send on the train.

Still others say a political organization invented the word. The organization supported Martin Van Buren for president in 1840.They called their group, the O.K. Club. The letters were taken from the name of the town where Martin Van Buren was born﹣Old Kinderhook, New York.

Not everyone agrees with this explanation, either. But experts do agree that the word is purely American. And it has spread to almost every country on Earth.

28. What is the text mainly about? A. How the word Okay came into being. B. The different meanings of the word Okay. C. The dispute of the origin of the word Okay. D. How widely the word Okay is used.

29. What does the underlined word Okay express in the 2nd example in Paragraph 3?

A. Promise. B. Admission. C. Permission.

D. Correctness.

30. How many explanations are given about the origin of the word okay? A. 3 B. 4 C. 5 D.6 31. What do language experts agree on?

A. Okay is the most widely﹣used word. B. It came from some Indian dialect. C. It was invented by a politician.

D. It is first used by Americans.

Nowadays, college applications put a lot of emphasis on community service hours. Most high schools also have graduation requirements. More and more people are volunteering their time. However, I have begun to think that this may not be the best way to approach community service.

Some of my classmates tell me that they are highly involved in a voluntary organization for college applications. I ask them to explain in detail, and they

第 6 页

reply with \"Oh, I have X number of hours.\" With further questioning I have discovered that these volunteers don't even know the responsibility of the organization! This deeply bothered me. At what point did community service enter the category of \"Required\" and “Step to getting into a good college\" rather than the categories of \"Doing Good Things\" and “How to Give Back\"?

Community service should not be just about getting into college, or about gathering points for your resume(简历). It should be about helping the greater community, and learning what it means to be a generous citizen of our world. As to choosing the organization, don't think about how you will benefit from it, but how your actions will help others.

The main way to solve this issue would be to update the college and high-school requirements. Instead of just asking \"how many hours have you volunteered\ask \"how have your actions helped others\". Look for personal commitment rather than concrete hours of community service.

Next time you are volunteering, try to forget the fact that your hours are important, because really, they are not. Choose organizations that you are enthusiastic about. Don't volunteer because you have to. Volunteer because it is the right thing to do as a human being. Next time you hear a friend commenting on how many hours they have, remind them that it isn't the numbers that change the world.

32. According to the passage, community service is required when people want

to______.

A. enter a good college C. receive medical care

B .change their resumes D. get a scholarship

33. What can we infer about the author? A. He or she was turned down by a university. B. He or she refused to do community service. C. He or she is probably a high-school student. D .He or she attended a voluntary organization.

34.In the author' s opinion, the present college and high-school requirements should be_____.

A. avoided B. improved C. accomplished D. supported 35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. College Applications Shouldn't Include Community Service . B.

How to Stay Motivated in High School

Do you find it difficult, almost impossible to stay motivated in high school? There are so many demands in your time, along with the expectations of parents and teachers. You really want to look at all the “big picture”. Your time in high school is likely to be just a small part of your today's life. __36_ _ Set reasonable goals and rewards. It can be as simple as doing your work and then taking a break to do something you like. __37__ It isn't as if you have to do all of your work at one time. In other words, when you reach a good break point, give yourself some kind of reward such as doing something you enjoy and afterwards get back to work.

__ 38 __ Consider your own parents, teacher, neighbor, or relative—anyone you respect and trust that can be in your corner to root for you and cheer you on. You want someone who has some life experience to counsel you. If you can find more than one source of such wisdom, it is all the better. Don't ignore this suggestion. It can really save you a lot of heartbreak and suffering later on. Have supportive friends. There are people who are going nowhere fast. __39__ Instead, stay around other motivated students who enjoy school, study and work hard because they are so positive. That positive influence will help motivate you.

Work with yourself not against. We all have energy levels. __40__ If your levels are low, determine what raises your energy levels to get you going. Then get as much done as you can. Also，don't wait until later to get started doing

I should know. I have been doing this for 20 years. Why is it that I need a sign to remind me?

The schedule is simply changed every other week. But I can never 42 which week is which. Every week, I make a(n) 43 to look for the sign.

When I was young, I was terribly poor in the Chinese. Be afraid of expressing myself was one of the reasons why I rarely did well in school. Once I failed in a mid-term exam. When I got the papers, I realized things could have been better if I listened to the teacher much more attentive. So I turned to my teacher for helps and he told me, “Where there is a will, there is a way. If you are devoted to learn Chinese, you'll make it.” I couldn't agree much. From then on, I began to work harder. Out of my expect, I made great progress soon. Today, Chinese is which my strength lies. And I'm grateful for my Chinese teacher. 第二节 书面表达（满分25分）
