“I can’t believe what I’m hearing!” I thought to myself. Jeff was the last candidate (候选人)for president of Student Council. My best friend Tony came to me and said. “I’m sorry, Mike. I really thought you should be 1 .”

Later that day, I happened to pass Jeff in the dining room. I offered him a 2 “Congratulations” and walked to my usual table. To my surprise, Jeff put his plate beside mine.
“I’m, er—I’m just wondering if you would …consider coming to work on my team,” he said 3 . “You are really smart, and you would be a great manager.”
“I don’t think so,” I replied, feeling unsure.
“Well, if you change your mind, we are meeting tomorrow,” he said before moving to another table.
All that night, I thought about 4 from Jeff. Maybe being a part of the election process(选举过程) would give 5 a chance to make important changes at our school. I decided to join them.

My next step was to 8 which new activities students would like to have at our school. Many of them wanted a chess club and a volleyball team.
With the information I had collected, Jeff met with the headmaster. The headmaster 9 to add these activities to our school program.
An eighth grader said, “It’ll be like attending a new school with Jeff as president.”
Hearing these words made my heart filled with 10 . I had wanted to become president of Student Council to make a difference. I achieved that and more by working as a member of Jeff’s team. He became the most popular candidate and I was large part of his 1 . The fact that it has made a difference in other people’s lives is the real prize. What a great feeling!21.

Dereck Joubert and his wife, Beverly, have made many films about wild animals in Africa. Their films and photographs are very popular and one of the photographs has been on the front cover of a National Geographic magazine.

　　A working day foe Dereck and Beverly starts very early—at 4:30 in the morning! That’s when they get up and start filming. And it’s a long day—they often work until 8:30 in the evening. In the winter it’s very cold and in the summer it can be 40℃. Dereck always does the filming-Beverly never does that, and she doesn’t write. But Dereck never takes photographs or records the sound. They work very well as a team, and they both believe we should shoot animals with cameras-not with guns!
　　When they have finished filming and taking photographs for the day, they have dinner and Dereck usually writes while Beverly looks at her photographs. At night, they usually sleep in a small tent, but they sometimes sleep in the Land Cruiser-when you’re very close to wild animals, it’s sometimes safer to sleep in the car.
　　Dereck and Beverly have also traveled around the world and given talks about their work. Dereck says that animals are not just something to look at—they play an important role. Beverly thinks the wild animals can teach us a lot about ourselves.
37. Dereck and Beverly start working ______.

A．at 4:30 in the morning	B．at 4:30 in the afternoon
C．at 8:30 in the morning	D．at 8:30 in the evening

What do you do if you're stranded（处于困境的）on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.

Body signals（信号）

Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means "yes". When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means "no". If you want the pilot to know that it's safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend（弯曲）your knees. If you want to say that it's not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.

Smoke signals

The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it's a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn't hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a fire unless you're sure that it can't spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.

Ground-to-air signals

It's a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols(标记). If you can't find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:

F "I need food and water."

II "I need medicine."

I "I am badly hurt."

X" I am unable to move from here."

Pilots' replies

If the pilot lowers the plane's wings from side to side, this means "message received and understood". (At night, the pilot flashes the plane's green lights.) If the pilots flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means "message received but not understood".(At night, the pilot flashes the plane's red lights.)

However, there is no signal which means "message not received". Why not?

40. Which picture means "it's not safe land"?

A．

B．

C．

D．

41. What can we learn from the passage?

A．Swinging your arm from side to side means "yes".

B．If the ground is dark, light smoke can't be seen.

C．If you need some medicine, make a symbol "II".

D．The pilots make replies with a blue light at night.

42. What is the passage mainly about?

A．The explanation of building signals on an island.

B．The importance of making signals on an island.

C．Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island.

D．Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island

My summer hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, his CF & thr 3:-@ kids FTF ILNY, its gr8.
　　Can you understand this sentence? If you can't, don't feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the "translation" of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York; it's great.
　　Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming（破坏）the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes cxan be seen in students' writing. They fear the language could become corrupted（面目全非的）.
　　Everyone should just relax, say linguists（语言学家）. They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. "People get better at writing by writing," he says, "Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents."
　　Linguist James Millroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can ___________ that when today's teenagers become tomorrow's parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become "corrupted"; they simply change to meet the new needs.
　　However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, "I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it's important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future."
　　Perhaps we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, "I wouldn't use text language in my homework. Texting is just for fun"
43. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?

A．To give an example of a foreign language.

B．To show an example of creative methods.

C．To express worries about using Netspeak.

D．To lead in the topic of Netspeak.

44. hich of the following is true according to the passage?

A．Cynthia McVey points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly.

B．Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English.

C．David Crystal thinks Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing.

D．James Milroy says that language is changing and improving.

45. e expression "bet your bottom dollar" in Paragraph 5 means ______.

A．be fairly sure	B．be greatly surprised
C．think it a pity	D．find it interesting

46. hat can be the best title for the passage?

A．Netspeak: A Widely-Used Language on Internet

B．Is Netspeak Harming the English Language?

C．Is Netspeak Helpful in Language Learning?

D．Netspeak: Advantages and Disadvantages
