My first impression of Miss Vicki was a highly authoritative(權(quán)威的) person towering over me. She spoke in a loud voice and the earth shook whenever she marched. That was in the first year of high school. She was a knowledgeable literature teacher then. However, during my first year in school, she struck terror into my heart. And everyone else’s of course. Just the mention of her name made the most annoying classes silent.

However, the two years of junior high passed by rather quickly. Soon I went to senior high class. I had worked hard and got the subject combination that I wished for. Together with a group of old friends, I soon settled down in class comfortably.

To everyone’s surprise, she was fortunate enough to be my teacher that year. I was shocked when I heard the news. This time round, however, I decided not to hide in terror whenever she was near. I decided to face the fact. Instead of trying too hard to lick her boots , I tried my best to be my natural myself in front of her.

Still, I could not shake off the ice-cold impression that she put in my heart. True, her jokes sometimes sent me into fits of laughter, yet at other times these jokes simply fell flat the moment she told them . My lovely class, however, was always ready to laugh at the right time of her amusing stories. After all, we would not want to run the risk of making her angry.

Unluckily, life was not to remain boring. One day we received news that Miss Vicki was to leave Singapore for the Philippines where she would take part in a voluntary teaching program for the poor. We did not know what to say actually. All of us cried at the airport.

1. During the first year in school, the author thought Miss Vicki was __________.

A. proud but patient

B. beautiful but strict

C. scholarly but serious

D. humorous but single-minded

2. What does the underlined phrase “l(fā)ick her boots” in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Win her favor B. Upset her

C. Shock her D. Follow her closely

3.What can we learn from paragraph 4?

A. Miss Vicki was a good joke teller.

B. Miss Vicki’s jokes were always boring.

C. Students liked Miss Vicki’s class very much.

D. Students pretended to laugh to please Vicki.

4.What can we infer about Miss Vicki from the last paragraph?

A. She was dismissed from the school.

B. She was not accepted by the students.

C. She was unwilling to leave her students.

D. She had a strong sense of social responsibility.

Flying like a bird has been the dream of humans since ancient times. Last week a group of modern birdmen put their courage on their wings and challenged gravity in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.

“Yes, you can buy a ticket and fly to another city. But running with your own wings and feeling your feet ready to take off is totally different,” Dong Fang, said in an excited voice. He is one of 41 students from Hangzhou No. 14 Middle School to test their home-made aircrafts in the playground. Inspired by the International Bognor Birdman Competition in the UK, Ni Wangyue, a teacher in high school is holding a similar event. The Bognor Birdman competition started in 1971 in the England coastal city Bognor. People ran off the end of a pier (碼頭) with their own aircraft in an attempt to “fly” the farthest distance.

“From the very beginning , I didn’t expect my students to create a real plane or break any records. I told them the competition is more for seeing how far your imagination can stretch,” Said Ni. He was surprised to see his students create 10 different aircrafts with all kinds of material available in the past month. Many students said that they learnt much more in the process of creating their planes than in ordinary classes.

Jing Yuchen and his team named their plane “Weiming E”, which means an unknown goose. The 17-year-old boy deeply believes their goose of steel pipe and sailcloth will honour its name by successfully making it fly.

“Our work is much more imaginative than others. With several colourful balloons on its back and a pair of light plastic wings, it surely is the most eye-catching work, if not the best,” said Yu Liang, another student.

“Although most of those home-made aircrafts cannot really take the boys flying, the boys’ braveness and creativity in this project will encourage every one of them to fly high in the future,” Ni said.

1.The purpose of the competition is to ___________.

A. prepare to create more real planes.

B. let students break some records.

C. run off the end of a pier.

D. encourage braveness and creativity.

2.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. There were 41 students taking part in the competition.

B. A similar kind of competition started in 1971.

C. The teacher didn’t expect his students could create 10 different aircrafts.

D. Most of those home-made aircrafts could take the boys flying.

3. By saying “you can buy a ticket and fly to another city”, the writer actually means ___________.

A. if you want to take part in the competition you have to buy a ticket.

B. people who take part in the competition have to fly to another city.

C. people can pay to get a chance to go to another place by air.

D. the students have to fly to another city in their home-made aircrafts.

4.Why did the teacher organize this activity?

A. He wanted to develop students’ imagination.

B. He wanted his students to have the feeling of flying.

C. He wanted his students to break records.

D. He wanted to increase his students’ grades.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文中的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余項(xiàng)。

1. . You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how:

1. Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. then decide a good, regular time for studying. 2. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

2. Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.

3. Make good use of your time in class. 3. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

4. Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. 4. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.

5. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don’t be over worried.

5. .You will probably discover them after you have tried these.

A. There are other methods that might help you with your studying.

B. Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.

C. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say

D. No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.

E. Maybe you are an average student.

F. Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class.
