As we all know, Steve Jobs is the designer of the Apple Computer. However, not all people know that he was not quite successful in his early years. He was not among the best students at school, and from time to time he got into trouble with either his schoolmates or his teachers. But he was full of new ideas, which few people saw the value of. Things remained the same when he went up to college and he dropped out halfway.
Steve Jobs worked first as a video game designer at Atari. He worked there for only a few months and then he set out to tour India. He hoped that the trip would give him more ideas and give him a change in life for the better.
After he returned from India, he began to live on a farm in California. And then, in 1975, Steve Jobs set about making a new type of computer. Along with his friend Stephen Wozniak, he designed the Apple Computer in his bedroom and built it in his garage(车库). He gave the name “Apple〞 because it reminded him of a happy summer he once spent on an orchard(果园) in Oregon.
His Apple Computer was so successful that Steve Jobs soon became worldwide famous. But unluckily, he died of illness in 2021.
26. Steve Jobs ______ when he was in school. A. was an outstanding student B. didn’t learn anything C. was always praised by others D. didn’t do very well 27. The underlined word “value〞 means ______ . A. importance B. chance C. beauty D. hope 28. Steve Jobs ______.
A. received an excellent college education B. didn’t finish his college education C. studied in college for 4 years D. didn’t go to college at all
29. Steve Jobs named his computer company “Apple〞 because ______. A. he wanted to remember the happy time on the orchard B. he designed the computer under an apple tree C. the apple was his favorite fruit
D. the computer was designed on the orchard
30. Steve Job’s ______ would be the most important thing for his lifetime success. A. “failure〞 in school B. new ideas C. travel in India D. stay on the orchard B
Thursday 30th Oct, 2021 Dear Disney,
last weekend that the four members of my family spent an enjoyable
It was holiday at
2
the Magic Kingdom - Disneyland. And one event made our visit seem truly magical.
We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain, only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn't take her ice-cream on the ride. We were so excited that we all forgot ice-cream was not allowed on the ride. Gloria broke into tears and we all had no idea what to do. Then Murphy, one of the staff (员工) members, came over. She bent down and told Gloria that she would hold the ice-cream for her and give it to her when she finished the ride. Gloria said, \"Promise?\" Then she gave Murphy her ice-cream, and she completely enjoyed the ride.
Sure enough, as we walked out of the exit, there was Gloria's new friend with \"her\" ice-cream. Now you and I both know what happened, because we know that an ice-cream won't last twenty minutes on a summer afternoon in Florida. Murphy knew what time we would get off the ride; she went to the nearest shop and bought a brand-new ice-cream thirty seconds before we walked out of the exit. Gloria said, \"Thank you,\" but I'm sure she thought it was the same ice-cream.
We know that someone tried hard to make our visit special. Thanks so much for going above and beyond! Your fan, Carmen Rivera
31. Before the ride, Gloria cried because _______. A. she couldn’t find her parents in the line.
B. she couldn’t take her ice-cream on the ride C. she was too little to take the ride
D. she had to wait for twenty minutes
32. Murphy was waiting for Gloria _______ after the ride. A. in the ice-cream shop B. at the entrance C. in the front of the line D. at the exit
33. In order to keep the promise, Murphy _______. A. took Gloria to the nearest shop B. asked her new friend to help Gloria C. bought a new ice-cream for Gloria D. helped Gloria get off the ride 34. The underlined word “someone〞 in the last paragraph refers to _______. A. Disney B. Murphy C. Gloria D. Carmen 35. Carmen Rivera wrote the letter to _______. A. express her thanks B. promise to visit again C. order ice-cream D. give some suggestion

While travelling, you'll be taking money, license or passport. Or you will buy something expensive to take back home with you and you don't want it to get stolen. Here are some ideas on how to keep your valuables (贵重物品) safe while travelling. Plan ahead of time
Think of what you really need and don't need to take on your trip. Only take the valuables that you must have, not just ones that you would like to have. Carry your valuables on your person
Something that is small, like cash and credit cards and your passport, can be carried in a money wallet around your neck or in a money belt. In this way, your valuables are hidden and right next to you and you know where they are at all times. Wear clothing that can hide the money belt. Carry larger valuables in your carry-on bag.
3
If you can't fit it in your money wallet like some large valuables, you'd better put them somewhere where you will keep in touch with them. You can put them on the plane, so you don't have to worry about the airline losing your bag or someone stealing it from the belt after the flight before you get to it. Choose a hotel that has the front desk for valuables.
This way, you don't have to worry about housekeeping getting hold of your valuables, or someone stealing your valuables if your room is broken into. If you give the valuables to the front desk to keep for you, choose a time when others are not looking.
36. When you plan your travel ahead of time, you should make sure that _______. A. you take valuables that you would like to have B. you take valuables as many as possible C. you take valuables that you must have
D. you take valuables that you have at home
37. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. Anything small must be carried in a money wallet around your neck. B. You'd better put some large valuables in your carry-on bag. C. You should wear a tight shirt while travelling.
D. You give valuables to the front desk at a hotel when others are looking. 38. You can carry all of the following valuables on your person EXCEPT _______. A. your cash
B. your large valuables C. your passport D. credit cards
39. Which kind of hotel can you choose while travelling according to the text? A. You can choose a hotel with a lot of housekeepers for valuables. B. You can choose a hotel with gatekeepers. C. You can choose some cheap hotel.
D. You can choose a hotel with the front desk for valuables. The passage is mainly about _______.
A. how to keep your valuables safe while traveling B. how to carry your valuables on your person C. what to do while travelling
D. how to save money while travelling
D
Where am I? Am I really in a new place? If I am in a form of a human, then why are all these people staring at me? But when you are a new girl in school, nobody except for your teachers seem to be genuinely interested in your arrival. Everywhere you go students are walking busily up the stairs with their schedule sheets and binders tucked under their arms. No one wants to be late to their classes!
My first day of school didn't go exactly as I planned. Instead of getting to classes the first day, I went over my schedule with the counselor and principal. Then I spent the rest of day in the library waiting for my sister to get her schedule done. In some ways, I was glad that I spent my first day of school this way. After all, who doesn't want to enjoy an extra day of freedom?
My official first day of school began the next day. I entered the main gates with a breath of fresh air, hoping my
4
bag wouldn't grow any heavier throughout the day. In the morning, I met my buddy and toured around the school while engaging in a small conversation about school life in general. It was surprising and interesting to find out how much we had in common. But despite all the excitement, I felt exhausted by the end of the day. Being around new people is always tiring. So when I got home, I collapsed on the bed and fell asleep in a fetus position. Although I haven't made many friends on my first day of school, I felt everything would fall into its place over time.
My suggestion to students out there, who are going through the same adaptation process, is to relax. I wasn't particularly nervous on my first day of school, but I came home almost dragging myself into the bed. If you are all tensed up, think positively and imagine that you are in your old school but in a different place with different people. What could possibly go wrong? Be strong; be lively; be relaxed; be yourself -- and enter your first day of school with those four Bs in mind.
41. Who will be really interested in the writer’s arrival? A. her teacher
B. her buddy
C. her classmates D. her sister
42. Why did the writer feel glad on the first day of school? A. Because she made a plan for class. B. Because she didn’t have any class at all. C. Because she read books at the library. D. Because she played with her sister. 43. What did the writer find surprising? A. She had a lighter schoolbag. C. She had a lot in common with others.
B. She could be around new people. D. She wasn’t tired after school.
44. The passage is mainly about _______. A. how to relax ourselves at class B. how to get along with new people C. how to calm in front of new teachers D. how to spend our first day of school 45. This is basically a passage of _______. A. apology B. gratitude C. suggestion D. comment

English learning isn’t an easy thing, but most people can learn it well if they’re willing to put in the necessary time. Here are some practical suggestions for learning English effectively, overcoming anxiety, and learning the grammar and skills necessary for success in English classes. A. Develop a good attitude.
Have a clear personal reason for taking an English class. Set personal goals for what you want to learn. Leave perfectionism at the door; give yourself permission to make mistakes and learn from them. B. Divide your study time.
Study a different task each time: vocabulary now, grammar next, etc. Get an overview during the first half hour: spend 10 minutes reviewing dialog, 10 minutes learning new vocabulary, 10 minutes learning new grammar… So you’ll at least have looked at it all. About 80% of your study time should be spent on recitation or practice. C. Make yourself comfortable.
Get to know your classmates, so you’ll feel you’re among friends. Visit your teacher during office hours.
5
Explain your goals and fears about the course to your friends or your teacher. D. Attend and participate in every class – even if you aren’t well prepared.
Class time is your best opportunity to practice. Learn the grammar and vocabulary outside of class in order to make full use of the class time. Spend a few minutes “warming up〞 before each class by speaking or reading English.
E. Study every day.
English learning is cumulative (积累的): you cannot put it off until tomorrow. Study one or two hours for every class hour if you want a good mark. F. Learn grammar well.
Grammar is the skeleton (根本的) and the basic structure of a language, so you must learn it.
阅读以下各人学习英语的经历，然后找出适宜的英语学习建议与之匹配。
46. Chen Lin often meets friends and they study English together. They can repeat their English vocabulary, do their homework together and help each other with English grammar. It’s also a good opportunity to exchange ideas on studying in general.
47. Li Wen develops a positive attitude towards learning English so as to improve her learning habits as well as her language skills.
48. Tom reviews a simplified English grammar text and compares new grammatical structures in the language to his Chinese equivalents. He practices what he is learning by employing it actively.
49. Jacky feels ten English words or phrases per day aren’t too many. He can learn them in no time. He takes a little time each day to learn 10 new words. He uses the weekend to revise what he has learned during the past week(s). This way he enriches his English vocabulary by 50 new words per week.
50. Huang Juan studies some English vocabulary and grammar each day for 15 minutes or more. She feels English is always in her head. If she studies once a week, English will not be in her mind as present.

It has been two months since I entered the senior high school. I am so sorry that I don’t write you very often. Because of homesickness, there was a time when I couldn’t get along well with my classmates. They said that I was only concerned about myself, and wasn’t grateful to their care and help. I didn’t know what to do, so I asked my teacher for help and followed her advice. Since then, I have been friendly to everybody, so I make more and more friends gradually. Even if the one meets me the first time, he will want to make friends with me. I will be home after the mid-term examination. Miss you badly.
Love you Tom
