Read people’s character(性格) from their ears
The size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other parts of the face. Other parts of the face change shape as we get older. But ears do not change their shape. They only change in size.
Reading people’s character from their ears is an old science. In very old times people thought that a person with big ears had a very good and generous character. They thought that a person with pale (nearly), small ears was very dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ear showed a person was musical or not. Today, too,
many people believe that the size and shape of the ear help you know if a person is musical(有音乐天赋的).
Ears are all different, and each characteristic has a meaning. Next time when you look at a person, see if his ears are large or small. Look at the lobes (the lowest part of the ear). Are they attached(附上……的) to the face? Ears that are always red mean a person may easily get angry, or he / she just has high blood pressure(血压). Ears that are always cold and pale mean a person has a nervous(神经紧张的) character. And a big inside hole of the ear means a person is musical. 1. In the old times people might ask for help from a person with ______. A. red ears B. big ears C. small ears D. pale ears 2. This passage is mainly about ______.
A. the size of the ears B. musical ears C. ears are related to characters D. our faces and ears 3. From the passage, we know _____ change shape as we get older. A. ears B. hair C. eyes D. teeth
4. We can guess Beethoven(贝多芬) may have ______. A. pale ears B. white ears
C. small ears C. a big inside hole of the ear
5. If you are often late for school, you may find the ears of your teacher ______. A. get bigger B. get smaller C. get colder D. get redder IV. 书面表达。

1. B. 在否定句中表示“也”要用either,肯定句表示“也”要用too。它们都放在句子的末尾。 2. B。在动词mind的后面用动名词形式作宾语,在回答Would you mind doing something?的时候,如果表示不介意用Certainly not;如果表示介意用Sorry, you’d better not. 3. C。从句子的意思可知,用think of 表示“认为、觉得怎么样”。 4. B。在动词enjoy的后面用动名词形式作宾语。
5. A。修饰不定代词的形容词要放在不定代词的后面。
6. D。“agree with sb.”意思是“同意某人的意见”;故本题选D。
7. C。句意为“她爸爸喜欢Sports World,但她妈妈不喜欢。”,由此可知,本句时态是一般现在时,因为前后两句主语均是第三人称单数,故答案是C。 8.C。 hope to do sth. 意为“希望做某事”,为固定用法。
9.C。 根据题干的第二句可推知,这本书很无聊,故排除A、B两项。boring用来修饰或
描述物;bored用来修饰或描述人,故选C。
10.D。be famous for 意为“因……而出名”为固定搭配。
11.A。本句为there be 句型,首先排除C、D两项,news为不可数名词,故be动词用is,

12.C。doesn’t 和can’t 后都要跟动词原形,故选C。
13.B。题干想要表达的是“或许”的意思,C、D两项无此意思,may be 在句中作谓语,题
干中并不缺少谓语,故可排除;maybe 是副词,做状语,符合要求。 14.D。 expect sb. to do sth.意为“盼望某人做某事”,为固定用法。
15.C。 根据答语的第二句中的but可推知,回答者不喜欢看肥皂剧。故选C。 II. 完形填空。
1.C。前文中的a big box有提示,所以答案为C项。 2.A。“只有一件事情你不能做:不要打开这个盒子。”说完这些,他离开了家。根据下文可以做出推断。
3.C。everything一切事物,nothing什么都没有;something某物;anything任何东西。句意:盒子里一定有贵重的东西,让我们打开看看吧,好吗?
4.D。她的丈夫不想那样去做,但是这位妇女没有放弃。使用but表示转折。
5.B。suggestion建议;decision决定;mistake错误;living生活;生存。答案为B项,make a decision to do sth.表示“下决心做某事”。
6.C。前文提到原以为里面有贵重的东西,但打开一看,却是空的,这时应该感到“惊奇”,所以答案为C项,to one’s surprise表示“令某人惊奇的是……”。
7.A。打开盒子后发现什么都没有,这时应该是努力地“合上”盒子,所以答案为A项。 8.B。第一段提到老人嘱咐这位夫妇不要打开盒子,但他们打开了,所以应该“生气”。 9.D。这位妇女说:“盒子里什么都没有,我们没有拿走任何东西”,所以答案为D项。A项意为“借”,B项意为“打碎”,C项意为“卖,出售”。 10.A。句意:盒子不重要,现在我知道我不能再信任你们,这才是重要的。注意前句The box is not important.的提示。 III. 阅读理解。 A篇

5. D。根据最后一段的“Ears that are always red mean a person may easily get angry.”可知,如果你经常迟到,你的老师当然要生气了。一生气耳朵就变红了 IV. 书面表达。 参考范文

He has been to Inner Mongolia where a lot of cows and sheep are on the grassland and the sky is big and blue. Shanghai is another city he has been to,which is a modern city with high buildings and wide roads.
However in Xiao Ming’s heart,Tibet is a quite different place from others. A lot of people live in the mountains and it’s difficult to go to school. Xiao Ming said he would work hard and change the people’s life in Tibet.
