Sleep, as we know, is important to us because it helps restore tired organs and tissues in our body. But    11   sleep do we actually need？ For most of us, eight hours seems to be about the right amount. Yet we know that there are a great many people who get   12   perfectly with less sleep, and some who may even need more. It largely  13   the way we live. But a good general rule to follow is to sleep as long as we have to   14   feel happy and be able to work at our best when we wake up .
There are actually different    15   of sleep. There is a deep sleep and a shallow sleep. In a shallow sleep, our body does not get the    16    kind of rest as it gets in a deep sleep, so that after eight hours of a shallow sleep we may still feel    17    ， But a short, deep sleep can be very restful .
Alexander the Great was able to get a deep sleep   18   he needed it. Once, during the night before an important battle, he remained   19   longer than anyone else. Then he wrapped himself in a cloak and  20   down on the earth. He slept so deeply that his generals had to wake him three times to give    21   .to attack!
22    when we go to sleep, our "sleep center" blocks off nerves so that both our brain and our body go to sleep. The brain prevents us from   23    do anything and the body makes our internal organs and limbs go to sleep. But someone only one goes to sleep and the other does not. A very tires soldier can sometimes   24    asleep（brain sleep）and keep on marching，   25      his body is not asleep .

Passage One
Noah Webster, born on October 16， 1758， is known for The American Dictionary of the English Language. He has been called the "Father of American Scholarship and Education. "His Blue-Backed Speller" books were used to teach spelling and reading to five generations of American children. But how much do you know about him beyond that？
At the age of 16， Noah Webster began attending Yale College. Unfortunately, he spent his four years at Yale during the American Revolutionary War. And because of food shortages, many of his college classes were held in Glastonbury, Connecticut. Later, he served in the army.
Having graduated from Yale in 1778， Webster wanted to continue his education in order to earn his law degree. He had to teach school in order to pay for his education. Then he set up many small schools and they didn't survive, but he was a good teacher because instead of forcing his students to learn, like most teachers did, he rewarded them. He earned his law degree in 1781， but did not practice law until 1789. Once he started he found the law was not to his liking.
Webster did not have much money. In 1793， Alexander Hamilton lent him $1500 to move to New York City to edit a newspaper. In December, he founded New York’s first daily newspaper, American Minerva, and edited it for four years. For decades, he published textbooks, political essays, a report on some diseases, and newspaper articles for his party. He wrote so much that a modem list of his published works required 655 pages.

A. Websters famous dictionaries
B. Webster's daily routines

B, Joyful
C. Normal
D Smooth

B. He set up many small schools
C. He forced his students to learn
D. He often rewarded his students

Section Two: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable sentence from A-G for each blank. There are two extra sentences which you do not need
 
Passage Three

A. That is why some friendships don' t last long B. By sharing them, you help your friend know better. C. However, our happiness is not determined by our friends D So to be a friend you must listen and understand E. Honesty is where a good friendship starts F. As a result, honesty deserts us when no one is watching G. But all true friendships have three things in common

Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don' t give friendship back.
【 36 】To have a friend, you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest； be generous； be understanding.
【 37 】Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven‘t been honest, you may lose your friends trust, Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.
 
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes, or enjoy your friends hobbies and interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you 【 38 】。
Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem 【 39 】 You must try to put yourself in your friend's place so you can understand the problem better.
No two friendships are exactly alike. 【 40 】If you plan to keep your friends you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.

Every day 25 million U.S. children take school buses （41）The safety record for these buses is much better than that for passenger cars. In general, the nation's school children are transported to and, from school safety （42）The safety of children is always of intense public concern. People are pided about what needs to be done, especially whether seat belts should be required
Supporters of seat belts on school buses argue that seat belts are necessary to reduce injury and loss of life. （43）A side benefit. they point out, is that seat belts help keep children in their seats, away from the bus driver.
Opponents of seat belts suggest that children are already well protected by the school buses that follow the safety requirements. （44） They also believe that many children won't wear seat belts anyway, and that may even use them as weapons to hurt other children.

一． 作文评分原则
1.采用总体评分法。阅卷人员就总的印象给出奖励分，而不是按语言点的错误数目扣分。
2.从内容和语言两个方面对作文进行综合评判。内容和语言是一个统一体，作文应表达题目所规定的内容，而内容要通过语言来表达。应注意的主要内容为内容要点、应用词汇和语法结构的数量和准确性、上下文的连贯性及语言的得体性。要考虑作文是否切题，是否充分表达思想，也要考虑是否能用英语清楚而确切地表达思想，即要考虑语言上的错误是否造成理解上的障碍。
3.本题总分为25分，按5个档次给分。
4.评分时，先根据文章的内容和语言初步确定其所属档次，然后以该档次的要求来衡量，确定或调整档次，最后给分。
5.词数少于80的，从总分中减去2分。
6.如书写较差，以至影响交际，将分数降低一个档次。
7.白卷，作文与题目毫不相关，或只有几个孤立的词而无表达思想，则给0分。
