A
Niagara Falls, in New York State, is a popular tourist place. Every minute 500,000 tons of water flow (流动) over a cliff (悬崖) into the river below. This is very beautiful.
The Falls were discovered in 1768. Before that they had never stopped flowing. However, this happened on March 29,1848. People could not believe it! They were so surprised that they all ran to the Falls. To their surprise, there was only the great cliff with no water going over it. Some people began to pray. Some people walked on the dry river bottom below.
Luckily, it took almost 30 hours for the water to start flowing again. Why did the water stop? High winds and heavy icebergs blocked off (阻挡) the water that comes from Lake Erie. When the wind changed and the water from Lake Erie flowed again, people could see the beautiful Falls once more.
Questions 56-60: 根据短文内容，完成下面的表格，每空一词。(Complete the form according to the passage. Use only one word for each blank.)
B
It's 7 a.m. It's time to go to school. What? You don't want to go? Well maybe you don't have to. Many kids don't go to school. They stay at home. Someone teaches them at home. Usually, their parents teach them, but sometimes a special teacher teaches them. This is home schooling (在家教育).
There are many reasons for home schooling. (61)Some children are very sick and cannot go to school. Some students live very far in the country. There aren't any schools near their homes. Sometimes, parents just don't like the schools near their homes.
(62)Home schooling sounds easy, but it's really not. Home-school students have to do the same work as regular (正规的) students. They study the same subjects and have homework. Also, home-school students don't meet other students in school. Sometimes, finding friends can be hard for them. Not going to school can be harder than you thought.
Questions 61-62: 将文中划线的句子翻译成汉语。(Translate the underlined sentences into Chinese.)
Questions 63-65: 根据短文内容回答下列各题。(Answer the following questions according to the passage.)
63. Who teaches home-school students?
64. Do home-school students have the same subjects as school students or different?
65. Why is it hard for home-school students to find friends?
C
When Harley-Davidson won their first motorcycle race in 1905, their fastest speed (速度) was around 45 miles an hour. Motorcycle racing is different today. Today, the fastest motorcycle can go 180 miles per hour. This is as fast as most race cars! Motorcycle racing is popular, and it is getting more popular every year.
There are many kinds of motorcycle racing, but street racing is the most popular. In street racing, motorcycle riders race on a special track. They go very fast. There are three kinds of street racing: Super Sport, Sport Bike, and Grand Prix. Each kind of racing uses a different motorcycle. The biggest difference in the motorcycles is engine size.
Because motorcycles go fast, motorcycle racing can be dangerous. Motorcycle racers must wear special clothes. Their pants and shirts are very thick and strong. When racers fall off their bikes, the special pants and shirts keep them safe. Of course, racers also wear helmets. Even with special clothes and helmets, motorcycle racing is dangerous. A motorcycle racer must be very brave.
Questions 66-70: 阅读短文，根据其内容回答下列问题。(Answer the following questions according to the passage.)
66. Do the fastest motorcycles today go slower than most race cars?
67． What does the word “it” in paragraph 1 stand for (指代)?
68. Which is the most popular kind of motorcycle racing?
69． Do Super Sport, Sport Bike, and Grand Prix use the same motorcycles?

A) One possible version:
How can we set up a good relationship? To begin with, good communication is a vital step to reach the goal. We:should communicate more with our teachers. We should understand them, and respect them and their work. Thebest way to build up a good relation is to treat teachers as friends. What's more, accepting our teachers' advice ina polite way isalso important. As for teachers, they should treat all students equally. If so, students and teachers will certainly get on well with each other.
B) One possible version:
Changes in seasons and weather can 'affect our behaviour and moods. The way we feel, how much we had sleep,and how well we deal with stress can all be affected by changes in the weather. For example, in the winter,some people complain of being tired all the time and having less interest in socializing. Others tend to overeat and gain weight.Difficulty with concentration andwork is also a typical symptom of winter seasonal disorder. People with mild winter blues probably do not need medical treatment. A long walk in the middle of the day usually helps and so do bright lights in the home and office. Since we do notknow the consequences of trying to control the weather, we cannot know what future problems we are causing when we try to change our environment.

——The Dream Came True
I wanna welcome everybody here in this cheer team. Thank you for coming here this morning to stand on my side cheering me on. It’s my dream to have the opportunity to challenge all the foreign athletes to the championship at this great occasion: 2008 Olympic Games. Now, the dream came true. As an athlete of China, I’m here to win the gold medal of orienteering for our motherland.
I’m so proud of being one of the best players in the world. But could you believe I had been a lazy girl when I was in Junior High. I’m not kidding! At that time, running was my last favorite. I really don’t know how to describe the first time I was on the track. It was horrible. When I started to run, I was simply out of breath. And while I touched the finishing line, I really didn’t know if I was still alive. It’s so funny, huh? But it’s true, I did.
Well, something happened and changed the situation. We won the right of holding the Olympic Games in 2008. After that, sports became a kind of game in campus. And there are many sports clubs in school. One day someone asked me:“are you gonna try one of those?”First I felt so wired.
“Try to get into sports clubs? Are you kidding?” I said. And she goes: “Why not?? It’s not hard at all, and so fascinating!” So I did tried one and I was so lucky to become one of those who did orienteering. That is a fantastic sport! You need to run and find where to go just by using a map and a compass. It’s wasn’t popular in China at first. But when we heard it might become a new event in 2008, we did practiced hard, and aimed to win the first Champion of orienteering in the world. When we practiced, there were a lot of troubles. You know, sometimes you need to go with your feet, but sometimes you need to go with your heart. In some situations, we faced the difficulties and problems. And we need to solve that through teamwork and strong willpower. So we can run faster, go higher and be stronger. That is what we say—Olympic spirit.
Now the dream came true. I’m standing here with all my body and my heart put in sports. So do the people from all over the world to HERE at the Olympic Games. It’s the Olympic Games that make us together. We are here for a big day of sport; we are here for a dream of sports. We are here for a spirit of sport that encourages us to face the difficulties of today and tomorrow.

——Opportunities and Challenges
First, I would like to know, what does your destiny offer you? Happiness, wisdom, a strong body or something else. If I had asked this question to president Nixon, he would probably had said,”Our destiny offers not the cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity.”
Needless to say, one of the biggest opportunities given to China is the 2008 Olympic Games. Till now, we have used two sevenths of the preparation time. How much changes have you seen? New roads, new subway lines, public-exercising equipments with beautiful colors, large blocks of grass fields, and also lots of modern gyms which are under construction.
Other than those, there are even more good effects brought to us by the Olympic Games that cannot be seen directly. For example, more and more people will get to know China. I’m sure the mysterious Chinese culture will attract them strongly. And the games will also do good to the economy and environment, for it is gaining the attention of foreign investors and the awareness of environmental protection is being strengthened. What is more, Olympic Games give a unique opportunity to inspire and ecate a new generation of Chinese youth with the Olympic values and the Olympic spirit. Now that we have seen so many advances, could you even imagine us losing the holding rights?
I’ve already said a lot about the Olympics and China. But I think everyone should use some time to think of this question, ”Does the Olympic Games have any special meaning to you?”
For us, I mean the Chinese youth, 2008 Olympic Games is a tremendous gift. Because what we are waiting for is to do something significant as repaying the love given to us .The society is just like a ship, and in our dreams the captain is waving his hand and saying ”Hey! Come here and take the helm! ”How charming his voice is, but we have never heard of it in our true life. This morning, however, when we wake up, we will see the Olympic Games waving its hand. After chewing, most of us will have at least one plan about what to do for the Olympic Games. And mine is to be a “comforter” ----that is someone who will give comfort to others.
At the end of my speech, I hope all the preparation will go well, and everyone will show their ability to the world. Let us seize opportunities and give a big smile to challenges.
中学生英语演讲比赛演讲稿（三）
——Caring For Nature--Overpopulation
What is nature? It's everything that exists in the world independently of people, such as pants and animals, earth and rocks, and the weather.Now more and more people are focusing on the nature. It is no doubt that the nature is important to every human being. No nature, no life. Because of the supplies of the nature, we have lived happily for a long time. And we started to gain every thing available from the nature. And this lasted so long a time. Today, people have discovered that the nature around is getting worse and worse.
What is threatening the nature? Air and water pollution, overharvesting of plant and animal species, overpopulation and so on. Overpopulation is the biggest source of pollution. Let's take overpopulation as an example.
What does overpopulation feel like? When we move slowly through the city in a tazi. When we enter a crowded slum district. When the temperature is high and when the air is thick with st and smoke. The streets are crowded with people. The streets seem alive with people. People eating. People washing. People talking. People sleeping. People visiting each other, arguing and screaming. People relieving themselves. People pushing their hands through the taxi windows, begging. People leading animals. People, people, people, people. As we drive slowly through the crowd, sounding the taxi's horn, the st, heat, noise and cooking fires made it like a scene from hell! I admit, frightening.
To the nature, overpopulation is a big problem. More people, more pollution. And the big population is threatening the nature every second.
The rapid rise in world population is not creating problems only for the developing countries. The whole world faces the problem that raw materials are being used up at an increasing rate and food proction can not keep up with the population increase. People in rich countries make the heaviest demands on the world's resources, its food, fuel and land, and cause the most pollution. A baby born in the United States will use in his lifetime 30 times more of the world's resources than a baby born in India. Unless all the countries of the world take united action to deal with the population explosion there will be more and more people fighting for a share of less and less land, food and fuel, and the future will bring poverty, misery and war to us all.
For most of the developing countries, it is a good idea to control the population growth. For example, China has carried out birth control for years. And this plan has a great effect on the world population. If the population continues to increase, if the air and water continue to be polluted, if we don't do something to protect wild-plant and wildlife species will be declining. Species and biological communities have difficulty adapting to change. Economic opportunities and the quality of life of future generations are also put at risk. By protecting nature, we protect ourselves.
Let's unite together, hand in hand we stand all across the land. We can make this world in which to live. Hand in hand. Control the population growth. Take good care of our nature.

——Cherish the water
My dear Teachers，fellow students and friends： Good afternoon．
As we all know, the earth is a planet almost covered by water，and it is water made every thing on the earth lively．Water is also one of the important part of our environment．Though，is there really so much water for us to clean，to proce many things，to play with? how much water are there on the earth then?Most of the water is in the oceans or locked away as ice．The largest volumes of fresh water are stored underground as groundwater，imagine there is only one barrel of water in the world，then there is only a spoon of it on the land，and the water we can use is only a drop of it．Now I have to remind all of you here that the single drop of water is never as Clean as before，it has been polluted severely by our human beings．
There is a very beautiful river in Paris．It is the Seine，it runs across the City，people drink coffee, chat on the bank in the day，at night，they enjoy the beautiful scenery in the boat，songs from the river fly into the Sky made the river more attractive, the Seine is a famous simble of France；on the west coast of pacific ocean there lies the modern City Shanghai，another river which used to be a very important transportation route runs through the center of the city，people respected and regard it as"mother"．It is the"suzhou river，but l believe that few of you would sit beside it，people will be scattered by the terrible smell of water when walk by．I have to say it is extremely dirty! And we all know that a lot of beautiful rivers in the world also are Sharing the same fate with suzhou river． Who is the devil? I can't help asking．
Many human activities and their by-procts have the potential to pollute water. Please have a look along the banks of the river, large and small instrial enterprises discharge dirty water, tons of garbage were thrown into the river, the water contained so much that it can't clean itself. Compared with the dramatic development in many sides of Shanghai, the suzhou river has become a black point of the appearance of city.
Fortunately, the government has control the situation now, we are happy to see some parts of the river has become clean again, and we even can find fish sometime.
The unique earth is the only planet full of lives, the water is just like the blood in the active body, protecting water is saving ourselves. Not to waste a single drop of water, otherwise, the only drop of water we could keep in the future would be our tear!
My dear friends, mankind still faces a great difficulty in solving the problems of the environment and development, and there is a grand task to perform and along way to go. The middle school students in China will always cooperate with the young people of the world to protect the environment.
The future is ours to build!
Thanks for listening.

Niagara Falls, in New York State, is a popular tourist place. Every minute 500,000 tons of water flow (流动) over a cliff (悬崖) into the river below. This is very beautiful.
The Falls were discovered in 1768. Before that they had never stopped flowing. However, this happened on March 29,1848. People could not believe it! They were so surprised that they all ran to the Falls. To their surprise, there was only the great cliff with no water going over it. Some people began to pray. Some people walked on the dry river bottom below.
Luckily, it took almost 30 hours for the water to start flowing again. Why did the water stop? High winds and heavy icebergs blocked off (阻挡) the water that comes from Lake Erie. When the wind changed and the water from Lake Erie flowed again, people could see the beautiful Falls once more.
Questions 56-60: 根据短文内容，完成下面的表格，每空一词。(Complete the form according to the passage. Use only one word for each blank.)
B
It's 7 a.m. It's time to go to school. What? You don't want to go? Well maybe you don't have to. Many kids don't go to school. They stay at home. Someone teaches them at home. Usually, their parents teach them, but sometimes a special teacher teaches them. This is home schooling (在家教育).
There are many reasons for home schooling. (61)Some children are very sick and cannot go to school. Some students live very far in the country. There aren't any schools near their homes. Sometimes, parents just don't like the schools near their homes.
(62)Home schooling sounds easy, but it's really not. Home-school students have to do the same work as regular (正规的) students. They study the same subjects and have homework. Also, home-school students don't meet other students in school. Sometimes, finding friends can be hard for them. Not going to school can be harder than you thought.
Questions 61-62: 将文中划线的句子翻译成汉语。(Translate the underlined sentences into Chinese.)
Questions 63-65: 根据短文内容回答下列各题。(Answer the following questions according to the passage.)
63. Who teaches home-school students?
64. Do home-school students have the same subjects as school students or different?
65. Why is it hard for home-school students to find friends?
C
When Harley-Davidson won their first motorcycle race in 1905, their fastest speed (速度) was around 45 miles an hour. Motorcycle racing is different today. Today, the fastest motorcycle can go 180 miles per hour. This is as fast as most race cars! Motorcycle racing is popular, and it is getting more popular every year.
There are many kinds of motorcycle racing, but street racing is the most popular. In street racing, motorcycle riders race on a special track. They go very fast. There are three kinds of street racing: Super Sport, Sport Bike, and Grand Prix. Each kind of racing uses a different motorcycle. The biggest difference in the motorcycles is engine size.
Because motorcycles go fast, motorcycle racing can be dangerous. Motorcycle racers must wear special clothes. Their pants and shirts are very thick and strong. When racers fall off their bikes, the special pants and shirts keep them safe. Of course, racers also wear helmets. Even with special clothes and helmets, motorcycle racing is dangerous. A motorcycle racer must be very brave.
Questions 66-70: 阅读短文，根据其内容回答下列问题。(Answer the following questions according to the passage.)
66. Do the fastest motorcycles today go slower than most race cars?
67． What does the word “it” in paragraph 1 stand for (指代)?

㈦ 中学生人生规划范文
现在的中学生，都被升学的压力折磨着，除了考试得高分交差，似乎没什么其他追求，因此叫苦连天的孩子很多，十分无奈。其实按照招生人数，初中生要考上高中就很难，何况重点中学。因为初中毕业生接近一半上不了高中，只有去读中专或者技校、职中等等，还有很少部分回家或者打工，艰难地拓展职业生涯。 对于中学生来说，能轻松考上重点中学，轻松上名牌大学甚至出国深造，接受良好的教育，取得博士学位，站得高看得远，是每个人的梦想，甚至需要几代人的不懈努力。但现实是很多人做不到，至少一半多的人做不到。那怎么办呢？首先，根据学生的实际情况，将学生划分为几类：1、学术性人才：学习非常优秀，成绩非常突出，学习轻松愉快。应该选择上名牌大学，出国深造，以后的工作趋向于专家型，高技术性，高级管理型人才。朝所谓的国际性人才发展，在全世界范围内流动，自由选择，从就业到创业都占绝对优势，在世界范围内择业，创造世界财富，体现自身的全球性价值。这类人才应该注重基础课，比如数学、物理、英语等等。上大学也该学基础学科，到研究生和博士，再选择专业方向。这样基础知识才牢靠，才有可能成为大家，有可能去争取期待已久却毫无国人问津的诺贝尔奖，这是科学家的最高境界！就是没那么高，也可以是什么院士、专家之类的。2、技术型人才：就是学习成绩好，能考上大学（当然不是那些二级学院或者民办）。这类学生大部分是不考研究生或者博士（少部分可以的）。除了读好书，应该培养自己的能力，如人际交往、口才等等。最好每个学期都安排与学业有关的见习或者实习，每学期都能做一份自己的实习或者考察报告，争取到大企业大公司实习，分工也力争到大企业，或者政府、事业单位，当然也可以自己创业。这类学生是高级白领的代表，也是创业先锋。只要认真努力，积极进取，就有可能获得机会，成为社会栋梁，诸如高官厚禄，行业专家，厂长经理。但是，成功需要一个很长的过程，很多人缺乏足够的耐心，在成功之前失去机会，或者没有从小事做起，缺乏实践积累而失去机会。我们建议：做好职业规划，甚至可以到艰苦的地方去锻炼，从乡镇或者基层工作做起，前途无量！3、实作性人才：这类学生学习成绩不好，考大学无望。应该做好思想以及心理准备。以后的路不是靠高学历，而是靠自己的实际操作能力，更多是人际交往能力、实际操作能力，应该学习专业操作知识，也就是所谓的技校、职中、中专。由于初中毕业就开始学习，三年就毕业，在别人上大学时，自己开始工作，别人大学毕业时，自己已经工作4年，4年应该能考到高级工水平，甚至可以准备考技师，只要努力，成功不是梦，成就事业或者体现价值也不是没有可能。很多人不成功，是因为没有珍惜自己走过的每一步，消极对待人生。浪费时间和精力，结果什么也做不成。4、特殊人才：是指具有特殊天分的人才，如艺术、体育人才。不是努力就可以做到的，努力是必需的，还需要天分（遗传因素是一部分）。人生规划非常复杂，没有不变的规划，自己努力、成长环境、发展机会决定了大多数人的价值取向和职业选择。我们只是提倡努力改变人生命运，只要努力，总比什么都不做强。做规划总比不做的强！

中学生英语演讲稿
I love English
As everyone knows,English is very important today.It has been used everywhere in the world.It has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade. If we can speak English well,we will have more chance to succeed.Because more and more people have taken notice of it,the number of the people who go to learn English has increased at a high speed.
But for myself,I learn English not only because of its importance and its usefulness,but also because of my love for it.When I learn English, I can feel a different way of thinking which gives me more room to touch the world.When I read English novels,I can feel the pleasure from the book which is different from reading the translation.When I speak English, I can feel the confident from my words.When I write English,I can see the beauty which is not the same as our Chinese...
I love English,it gives me a colorful dream.I hope I can travel around the world one day. With my good English, I can make friends with many people from different contries.I can see many places of great intrests.I dream that I can go to London,because it is the birth place of English.
I also want to use my good English to introce our great places to the English spoken people,I hope that they can love our country like us.
I know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very well.
If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So I believe as I love English everyday , it will love me too.
I am sure that I will realize my dream one day!
Thank you!

Gettysburg Address
Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long enre.
We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of the field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that the nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground.
The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us,
----that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion, ----that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, ----that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, ----and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

The Dream Came True
I wanna welcome everybody here in this cheer team. Thank you for coming here this morning to stand on my side cheering me on. It’s my dream to have the opportunity to challenge all the foreign athletes to the championship at this great occasion: 2008 Olympic Games. Now, the dream came true. As an athlete of China, I’m here to win the gold medal of orienteering for our motherland. I’m so proud of being one of the best players in the world. But could you believe I had been a lazy girl when I was in Junior High. I’m not kidding! At that time, running was my last favorite. I really don’t know how to describe the first time I was on the track. It was horrible. When I started to run, I was simply out of breath. And while I touched the finishing line, I really didn’t know if I was still alive. It’s so funny, huh? But it’s true, I did. Well, something happened and changed the situation. We won the right of holding the Olympic Games in 2008. After that, sports became a kind of game in campus. And there are many sports clubs in school. One day someone asked me:“are you gonna try one of those?”First I felt so wired. “Try to get into sports clubs? Are you kidding?” I said. And she goes: “Why not?? It’s not hard at all, and so fascinating!” So I did tried one and I was so lucky to become one of those who did orienteering. That is a fantastic sport! You need to run and find where to go just by using a map and a compass. It’s wasn’t popular in China at first. But when we heard it might become a new event in 2008, we did practiced hard, and aimed to win the first Champion of orienteering in the world. When we practiced, there were a lot of troubles. You know, sometimes you need to go with your feet, but sometimes you need to go with your heart. In some situations, we faced the difficulties and problems. And we need to solve that through teamwork and strong willpower. So we can run faster, go higher and be stronger. That is what we say—Olympic spirit. Now the dream came true. I’m standing here with all my body and my heart put in sports. So do the people from all over the world to HERE at the Olympic Games. It’s the Olympic Games that make us together. We are here for a big day of sport; we are here for a dream of sports. We are here for a spirit of sport that encourages us to face the difficulties of today and tomorrow.

Human and Nature
Nature, the environment which human beings live by, is magnificent and unique. There si only one earth with super living conditions in the universe. We should have cherished nature and preserved it. Conversely, however, we have been continually spoiling it, even to a shocking degree.
Now let’s see what we have dong. Thousands of trees have been cut down per year, which has caused soil erosion. Hundreds of thousands of tons of CFCS have been left in the higher sky in the last decade which has led to the ozone layer leak above the South Pole that covers an area of that of the United States. Million tons of fuel containing nitrogen and sulphur have been consumed per year, which has eventually resulted in acid rain throughout the world. Similarly, ecology has been affected as well. And considerable number of species have been extinct as the years go by many creatures which were common in the past are becoming less and less, even rare. The Tibet antelope, for instance, is a good example. Since the antelopes of Tibet have a part of fur on their body which can be made into a precious cape, driven by some lawless dealers many villagers killed antelopes excessively and shocking for the large suns of fortune. Because of this, the number of the antelopes of Tibet has sharply fallen from over one million to less than one hundred thousand. And what’s more, the number has now decreased
by 20 thousand per year. Qing Zang Platean, which was their meland, is their tombs now.
This is how nature has suffered what we have done to it. However, nature and suffer any more. She lost her temper and could no longer possibly put up with humans. She gave humans harsh punishment, which she thought they deserved. The acid rain has caused the less of more than 100 billion dollars throughout the world per year. And because of desertisation, soil is becoming more and more barren. The soil of many planes is now until for growing plants. The air is less fresh, and a lot of people even get many stranger diseases. Those are all the punishment of nature to human’s pollution. On the other hand, human being suffer a lot as well. So it leads to a serious of questions--
Why can’t we live harmoniously with nature?
Why can’t we set a balance between human and nature?
Why can’t we pay more attention to nature and try to reserve it?
Therefore, before we take immediate measures to do something, we should be aware of the fact that "Conquering the nature" will never be our goal, instead, we should take the nature as our intimate friend. Preserving nature is not only preserving our home, but the civilization of human community as well.
