B篇
Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out that stress (紧张、压力) helps to bring it on. It is worth considering. What are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do anything about them? Are we out of work, or have too many responsibilities (责任)? Do we have a right balance of work and leisure (闲暇) in our lives? Are our relationships with family, fiends or fellow workers all they should be? All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them honestly, and to bring out frustrations (失意，失败) into the open. People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health better than those who bottle up(抑制) their feelings. If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a different living standard (标准). We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude (态度). It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour's anger. The teaching in the Bible(圣经) \your wrath(愤怒)\
6. According to the text, which of the following sentences is the best statement?
7. According to the text, which of the following kinds of people are more likely to suffer from stress? A. People who have cancer.
B. People who like to quarrel with others. C. People whose living standard is low.
D. People who have more responsibilities than they can handle(应付). 8. The word \A. a noisy quarrel B. a very loud noise
C.a line of things side by side D. a trip in a boat
9. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to reduce our stress? A. Changing our jobs.
B.Changing our attitude about little things that make us unhappy. C. Speaking out about our frustration. D. Reading the Bible.
10. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. We should read Bible every day.
B. We should have good relationships with our family members.
C. We should do something to reduce the stress that helps to bring cancer on. D. Sometimes we can quarrel with others.
C篇
Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (消除代沟). Don’t argue (争辩) with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter. Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days. Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try! 11. The passage tells us ___have a communication problem.
A. parents and other people B. school kids and their parents C. teachers and their students D. parents and children of all ages 12. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you ___.

13. The underlined phrase “cool off” in the passage means “___”. A. to make yourself happy B. to get you quiet and relaxed C. to have a good rest D. to hide yourself quickly
14. If there’s really a generation gap between you and your parents, you’d better _______. A. have a talk with them often B. keep away from them C. agree with them all the time D. know about their values 15. From the passage we learn ___.

Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures(压力) from their parents. Most students are always told by their parents to study harder and better so that they can have a better life in the future. Though this may be a good idea for those very bright students, it can have terrible results for many students who are not clever enough. Many of them have tried very hard at school but they failed in the exam and have their parents lose hope. Such students feel that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they don’t want to go to school any longer. It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that is the teachers’ work to help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to those schools opening in the evening and on weekends—they only help the students to pass the exams and never teach them any real sense of the world. Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students’ hair to their clothes and things in their school bags.Child psychologists(心理学家)now think that such strict rules are harmful to the feeling of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others, how to tell the right from the wrong and how to show love and care for others, even for their parents. 31.

尺规作图的教学分析
尺规作图以严密的逻辑推理，成为数学教学中独具一格的教学内容，由于其独特的知识
结构，多年来在初中教学中未有深入的涉及和研究，对学生的教学要求，只局限于五种基本尺规作图法的理解和操作，随着新课程对学生能力培养的要求，对尺规作图的要求也提出了更高的要求：除了要熟练操作五种基本图形作法外，还要结合几何推理，对目标图形进行作图原理推究、作图方法探索。这在一定程度上，对尺规作图的课堂教学带来了一定的挑战，在近段时间关于尺规作图的课堂教学教研活动中，笔者深有感触：尺规作图的教学在接轨于新课标的总思想和接轨于中考要求方面需要加大力度，笔者就课后交流和个人亲身教学体会，谈谈对尺规作图教学的一些想法。 1. 教材对尺规作图的基本要求
任何一个知识点的学习，都离不开基本概念的理解和基本技能的掌握，三基是知识的根本点，对学生所学的相关知识及新知识结构起着固本作用，三基只有得到彻实有效的实施和应用，三基才能得到充分的发展和延伸。我们对尺规作图这块内容的教学，同样需要熟练掌握五种基本图形的基本画法，正确理解它们的作图原理，在实际问题中能简单地应用。教材（华师大版）对五种基本作图的内容编排，是浅显易懂，对课堂例题及训练题也是从绝大数
学生的实际认知能力出发而设，以照顾全体学生在学习中都能获益为主要目标，在课后作业练习题中，也是对五种基本图形作法中稍加组合应用，注重的是基本作图法的理解、技能的掌握以及有条件类型题的作图，这类题学生能直接根椐条件，选择相应作图方法作图，主要目的都是巩固理解五种基本图形，虽然题目类型缺乏灵活性，但这些全是固本知识，是知识的根本点，能为学生作图方法的深入研究提供有效的保证。新教材编写虽然浅显易懂，习题也简单，却需要教师补充一部分内容，这是新教材的一个特色，是给教师提供的一个弹性空间，可以根据学生具体情况，适当补充一些需要的题型，提升学生的能力。 2. 尺规作图应落实的教学尺度 2.1尺规作图教练中的难度
在学生的实际学习中，对五种基本作图法的单一应用是没有问题的，但部分学生由于几何意识薄弱，对稍加组合的基本图形作法的应用，思维发挥尚有一定差异，主要原因在于双基落实过程中，深度不够，也就是说几何推理+操作的综合能力不够到位，需要在教学过程中把握好难度分寸，给学生补充一些能激化思维、提升思维的内容，以达到对基本作图法的灵活应用。
笔者给学生做过这样一个试验，如例1，学生在解答时，因作图意向方法非常清楚，因此学生能很快画出角平分线和过点P的垂线，得二线交点Q。但当笔者把题目作了适当变形时，学生选择作图方法，显得缺乏应有的章法，暴露出学生在受教过程中，对目标图形的几何分析和基本图形作法插入应用，缺乏应有理性认识。若在平时能经常给学生训练例1类的变形题，学生对尺规作图的理性认识将上升一个台阶。
例1如图1-1，已知∠AOB，点P在OA上，找出点Q，使点Q到∠AOB两边距离相等，并且PQ⊥OA ；
