Everyone has got two personalities (性格) —the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control yourself, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don’t like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you’re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
If you sleep on curled up (蜷缩), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You’re shy and you don’t usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced (平衡的) personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don’t often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry.

Many people know the names Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison. However, most people don’t know the name of the man who invented the television, Philo Farnsworth.
Philo Farnsworth was born in 1906 and grew up on a potato farm. As a boy, he loved to learn about science, and he read a lot of science books. When he was only thirteen years old, he drew a picture of a machine that could send pictures as radio sends sounds. He got the idea from the way the potatoes were planted in the field. The potatoes grew in long lines, side by side. This made a shape in Philo’s mind. This shape helped Philo think of a way to send the TV picture onto a piece of glass. But he was poor, so Philo could not try to make his idea into a machine at that time.
Later, Philo worked at many different jobs. He worked with trees. He worked on broken radios. He worked on trains. He also worked as a street cleaner. At last, two rich men heard about his idea for television, and they gave him the money to make it. On September 7th, 1927, they watched Philo test the machine he built. When Philo turned on the machine, a small line could be seen on the glass. Philo said, “There you have it, electric television.”
Later, a big company, RCA, said they had made the first television. Philo had to spend a lot of money on lawyers to fight them. Finally, he won. Then, World War Two started in 1939. During the war, Philo spent a lot of money helping the

Part IV Writing (45 marks)
Section A (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
Maybe you are an average student. 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. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. 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. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. 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 mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that 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 overly worried.
There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.

Section B (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage, Answer the questions according to the
information given in the passage.
March 22nd every year has been the World Water Day since 1993. Everyone knows that over 70% of our planet is covered with water, but do you know that only 3% of the water is fresh and less than 1% of this fresh water is available for human use?
Water shortage
The World Bank reports that 80 countries now have water shortages, while 40% of the more than 2 billion people, have no access to clean water. Fresh water is such a life-or-death issue(问题) in many parts of the world that every eight seconds a child dies from drinking dirty water.
How to save water
Turn off the tap while you brush you teeth in the morning and before bedtime, and you can save up to 8 gallons of water! That adds up to more than 200 gallons a month, enough to fill a huge fish tank that holds 6 small sharks!
Keep your shower under 5 minutes long. In fact, a 5-minute shower uses more water than a person living in poverty in a developing country uses in an entire day.
Fix the leak. If your toilet has a leak, you could be wasting about 200 gallons of water every day. That would be like flushing your toilet more than 50 times for no reason!
We each share responsibility for the sustainable management of our water resources, which means using less water at home, in the workplace, at school, on holidays, on the farm,… everyone, everywhere, every time.
81. When did the first World Water Day take place? (no more than 5 words)
_____________________________________________________________________________
82. How many suggestions does the writer give us to save water? (1 word)

83. What example does the writer give us to show fresh water is a life-or-death issue? (no more than 10 words)

Conversation 1
W: Hi, Bob. Are you studying at home now?
M: Yes, mum.
W: Study hard or you’ll fail the final exam again.
M: Ok, I will study hard.
W: Don’t make empty promises. I’ll check your homework when I get back tonight. If you do well, I’ll give you a reward.
Conversation 2
M: Would you like to come to the cinema tonight?
W: I can’t.
M: Why not?
W: I’ve got to wash my hair tonight.
M: Ok, what about tomorrow night?
W: I can’t tomorrow night, either.
M: Why not?
W: I’ve got to wash my hair again.
M: Do you wash your hair every night?
W: It depends.
M: Depends on what?
W: It depends on who asks me to go to the cinema.
Conversation 3
W: I love this pair of jeans.
M: Please try them on if you like. The fitting room is right over there.
W: Thank you.
M: Do they fit?
W: No, this size is a little too large for me. Have you got anything smaller?
M: Yes, I’ll show you. Oh, sorry, they are all sold out.
W: When can I get a smaller one?
M: In a week at the earliest.
W: That’s too long for me. I can’t wait until then.
M: Maybe you can find some in the jeans shop next door.
W: Do you think so?
M: You can try.
W: Thanks. Bye-bye.
Conversation 4
W: Do you have good friends in your class, Michael?
M: Not really. But I have some good friends in other classes.
W: How come? Is it difficult to get along with your classmates?
M: Not exactly. My classmates just don’t share my interests.
W: What are your interests then?
M: I like sports and I play sports every day, but my classmates don’t. Some of them like reading while others like music. So in my spare time I seldom play with them.
W: Then how did you get to know your friends in the other classes?
M: Well, two of them are my neighbors. We’ve been playing together since we were babies. And the other boys are their classmates.
W: I see.
Conversation 5
M: Excuse me, Miss. I’m new to this area and I’m running out of gas, and I can’t seem to find a gas station anywhere around here. Can you direct me to the nearest one?
W: No problem. First you take a left at the light. Go west for about a mile and there will be one on your left, next to the post-office.
M: I didn’t quite catch that. Would you mind going over the directions one more time?
W: No problem. Take a left at the light and continue on that street until you see the post-office on your left. The gas station is right next to the post-office. You can’t miss it.
M: Thanks. Does the gas station accept credit cards?
W: No, it doesn’t. But there’s a bank across the street from it, and you can get money there if you want.
M: That’s probably what I’ll do.
W: You also might consider buying a map at the gas station. This is a rural area, so it’s very easy to get lost.
M: I think I’ll do that. I really appreciate your help.
W: It’s my pleasure.
Conversation 6
M: So, Jane, where are we meeting these friends of yours tonight?
W: Oh, didn’t I tell you? We’re going to see a movie.
M: Yeah? What movie?
W: I’m not sure. I know it’s one of those action movies.
M: Oh, no! Can’t we see a romantic movie? Action movies are too violent and stupid.
W: I know, but my friends really want to see this one.
M: Ok, then what about dinner? Should we take them out for some Chinese food?
W: I’d prefer Mexican. I’m not too good with chopsticks.
M: All right, I wouldn’t want you to spill food on yourself in front of your old friends.
W: They’re not just my old friends. You know one of them, Tina.
M: Yeah, we live in the same town and we went to the same school.
W: She’s beautiful and funny. I like her very much.
M: Yeah, she is a nice girl. Are we taking the bus?
W: No, the subway is faster. Did I tell you we have to be there in 30 minutes?
