All of us know the old saying “Practice make perfect.” It tells us unless we want to realize our aim, we should practise, and one day we will make it. It’s easy to understand. Once I wanted to learn swimming. At first I found difficult to control my body. I just sank into the water. I feel very frightened. Then I watched others who were good at them and asked them the key to succeed. I went to the swimming pool every day, learned from them and practised. A day, when my friend pushed me into the swimming poo1, I sudden found that I could swim. How exciting I was! Now I can swim much more better than before.

The town I live in is about to put cameras at all traffic lights to catch people who run red lights. It  1 me of how many people I’ve seen who take the yellow light as a  2 to go faster. I also can’t understand why people don’t move when the traffic light has turned green. Above all, there are those  3 situations in which someone doesn’t even  4 that the light turns red, and just keeps going. That is why so many  5 happen! All these situations make me  6 the purpose of traffic lights.

  7 ,it’s even more frightening to imagine letting people make their own decisions at  8 crossroads. Do the biggest cars get to go first? Who decides who goes next? So I guess I do like the idea of a system to  9 traffic. And I’ll do my best to  10 the traffic rules: to go, to be cautious, and to stop when I’m  11 to.

It occurs to me that my  12 have done much the same for me  13 teaching me how to live. They have given me many  14 lights: to get along well with others, to listen and talk to them, to help others, and to 15 with joy and purpose. They have also given me some red lights  16 my life goes astray(误入歧途): not to be greedy, to keep my temper, and to control my desires. And there  17 have been some yellow caution lights: to watch how much I drink, to keep control of my behavior, and to  18 school regularly and work hard.

If I obey these rules, my life will be as  19 as it can be. Just as I’m wise to pay attention to the traffic lights when I’m walking across the street, I’m wise to pay attention to the“  20 signals”given to me by my parents.

1.                A．suggests        B．robs           C．reminds  D．warns

2.                A．sight           B．signal          C．message  D．switch

3.                A．instant         B．exciting         C．dangerous D．cautious

4.                A．notice          B．sense          C．remember D．feel

5.                A．events         B．problems       C．situations D．accidents

6.                A．think of         B．wonder about    C．care for  D．worry about

7.                A．Besides         B．Anyway         C．Instead   D．However

8.                A．noisy          B．narrow         C．crowded  D．key

9.                A．control         B．direct          C．improve  D．serve

10.               A．learn          B．obey           C．protect    D．carry

14.               A．safe           B．green          C．beneficial  D．helpful

15.               A．live            B．share          C．work D．communicate

16.               A．unless         B．when          C．before    D．till

17.               A．still            B．even           C．only  D．also

18.               A．start           B．attend         C．leave D．miss

19.               A．good          B．colorful        C．meaningful D．healthy

20.               A．traffic          B．light           C．life   D．confidence

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36—55各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

I was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember something about the   36   celebrations in the small town where I lived on the day when the war in Europe ended. We had not   37   much from the war where, though, like most children of my age, I often saw   38   houses in the streets and the very big   39   lorries(卡车) passing through. But both at home and at school I had become   40   to the phrases “before the war” and “when the war is over”. “Before the war”, obviously,   41   had been better, though I was too young to understand why,   42   there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice cream and bananas, which I had  43   heard of. When the war was over we would go back to London, but this meant very  44   to me. I did not remember what London was like.

What I remember now  45   V-Day(victory day) was the afternoon and the evening. Some boys and girls were collecting   46  and building an enormous bonfire(篝火). We stood and watched them for a time, and then I went home and   47   myself in with my key and waited for my parents to come back from work.
