If you put your history notes under your pillow and sleep on them the night before an exam, will you do any better in the exam?Most of us have hoped this might help. However, knowledge can't go through the pillow into your brain. But that doesn't mean you can't learn while you are asleep.
Scientists aren't exactly sure how it works, but they have discovered that the brain can learn things during sleeping hours.
In one experiment, researchers gave German speakers some Dutch words to learn. Then, they divided them into three groups. The researchers played the Dutch words for people in Group 1 while they were asleep, without telling these German speakers what they were doing. The sound was low so it didn't wake them up, and only the newly introduced words were used.
Another group listened to the same words while they were awake. The researchers found the people in Group 1 were better able to identify and translate the words later. This was true only for the words that were played while they slept. The third group listened to words when they walked. The walkers didn't have the same success in remembering the words as the sleeping group.
The researchers later found that people had more slow-wave brain activity all over the night. They said that more slow waves made people have a better memory for the new words.
31.When did the researchers play foreign words for people in Group 1 in the experiment? A.Before they went for a walk. B.Before they went to bed. C.When they were asleep.
D.When they were having dinner.
32.What does the underlined word“identify”mean in Chinese? A.提高 B.辨认出 C.隐藏 D.逃避 33.The last two paragraphs tell us the experiment's .
A.result B.reason C.influence D.purpose 34.Which of the following is true?
A.Scientists think people can't learn during sleeping hours. B.German speakers enjoy learning Dutch words.
C.Slow-wave brain activity can help people have a good sleep.
D.People in Group 3 didn't remember the words as well as those in Group 1. 35.Where is the passage most probably from?
A.A history textbook. B.A science magazine. C.A travel newspaper. D.A modern novel. 答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文,讲的是人在睡觉的时候大脑也可以继续学习。
31.C 根据第三段中的“The researchers played the Dutch words for people in Group 1 while they were asleep...”可知,研究人员在第一组人睡觉的时候给他们播放荷兰语单词,故答案为C。
32.B 画线的词是identify,结合上下文可推断,研究人员发现,第一组人能更好地辨认和翻译出那些单词,故答案为B。
33.A 通读后两段可知,它们讲的是实验的结果,故答案为A。
34.D 根据第四段中的“The third group listened to words when they walked. The walkers didn't have the same success in remembering the words as the sleeping group.”可知,选项D是正确的描述。
35.B 本文讲的是人在睡觉的时候大脑也可以继续学习,故合适的出处是“科学杂志”,故答案为B。

Make a plan
If you don't finish your homework at school, think about how much you have left, so you can budget your time. Most students have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it's a heavy homework day, you'll need to spend more time on it. It's a good idea to make a homework timetable, especially when you want to enjoy sports or other activities. 36.The first paragraph is mainly about . A.why homework is hard to do

36.B 第一段讲的是学生为什么应该做家庭作业,故答案为B。

I am Li Hua. I don't speak English because my English is poor. I find it hard to speak English. I am a little shy and afraid of making a mistake. I always feel nervous when I
stand up speaking English in class. I'm afraid that my classmates may laugh at me when I speak English. To tell you the truth, I don't believe in myself. The less I speak, the worse my English is. When my English improves, I will enjoy speaking it.

David walked down the street. All he wanted to do was to play basketball with Jim. But his mother told him to return his sister's books to the library on his way to Jim's house.
In his eyes, books and summertime just don't go together. He thought he had read a lot during the school year. And he had never set foot inside a public library. Today he'd just drop the books off in the outside return box, but it was locked. He had to go inside to return them.
David walked inside the building a few minutes before closing time. He put the books into the return box. After a quick drink of water and a short stop in the toilet, he'd be on his way to meet Jim. He walked out of the toilet. The library lights were turned off. He was locked—in a library!
David tried to use the telephone, but he couldn't find one. As the sun began to set, he searched for a light and found a little one on a desk. He used a pencil to write a note on a big piece of paper. It read, “I'm locked inside. Please call for help.” He put it on the front door. Surely, someone passing by would see it. He then turned his attention to the library itself.
He was surprised to discover that this place was not so bad. Rows and rows of books!When he saw a book about Michael Jordan on the desk, he picked it up. He opened the book and began to read. He felt that being locked in the library didn't seem to be such a terrible thing.

We walked along the beach and enjoyed the soft sand, the gentle wind and the blue sea. In the evening, we had a big seafood dinner. It was really delicious.

Children with no shoes on do better at school than those with shoes on, a study suggests. For over 10 years, researchers from universities observed(观察) children in 100 schools from 25 countries. They found that classrooms were quieter when children took off their shoes. It provided a quieter environment where pupils were more willing to focus on study than those with shoes on.
“Children are much more willing to sit on the floor and relax if they have no shoes on,”said Professor Stephen Heppel, a lead researcher.
“The last place a child would sit to read is an upright chair. And we've found that 95% of them really don't read on a chair at home,”Heppel added. “When they go on holidays, they read lying down.”
Professor Heppel hopes to bring the“shoeless policy(政策)”to all U.K. schools. He says relaxing conditions at school make children feel as if they're at home. He believes all the teachers will be glad to adopt the habit.

Africa has a long history and a rich culture, and this is shown in traditional dress.The three colours—red, gold and green, are often used in the clothing.The first colour represents the blood of millions of people who fought for freedom, the second, rich resources of the African earth and the third, the grassland of home.
Because clothing has strong social meanings, people are very careful in choosing what to wear.It would be a serious mistake to wear the wrong clothes, or to dress in the wrong way.For example, in Ghana, a woman should wear her waistband(腰带)differently according to the importance of the social event.
Traditional dress also tells us about everyday life.African designs are famous for loose(宽松的)clothing.The temperature there can be very high during the daytime but very low at night, so it requires that the clothes are comfortable for daily life.
Today although more and more young people like wearing Western clothes, especially in big cities in Africa, traditional African dress is still quite valuable.This is because it has deep cultural meanings.

答案
[参考范文] Dear Editor,
I am writing to tell you about the survey I've made on“Using paper cards or e-cards?”in our class.
About 30% of the students want to use paper cards.First of all,they are made by hand and they can show people's real feelings.Secondly,they are easy to take and can be kept for long.Thirdly,people can read them without computers.
However,around 70% of the students prefer to use e-cards.For one thing,e-cards can carry lots of information and people can send them quickly.For another thing,using e-cards can save paper so that our environment can be protected well.What's more,people can make various designs they like.
I think we'd better use e-cards more to save natural resources.But on some particular occasions,we can also use paper cards to show our real feelings.
Yours sincerely,
Wang Qiang

No one knows when the first kite was made. The first record of a kite was more than 2,000 years ago in China. Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to bring down a king. He decided to dig a tunnel(隧道)into the king's palace. He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure of the length(长度)of its string(线). In this way, he could determine how long the tunnel should be. His men in the tunnel took the kite string with them. When they reached the end of the string, they knew to dig up.
Kites have been flown in Japan for hundreds of years. In the 1700s, kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first son. Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year. And kite festivals are held each year in many parts of the country.
Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the western world. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightning was a form of electricity. In the 1890s, Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight. From 1898 until 1933, the United States Weather Bureau(气象局)used box kites to
collect weather data. The Wright brothers also experimented(试验)with kites. What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903. 31.Why did Han Xin want to dig a tunnel? A.To pull down the palace. B.To fight against the king.
C.To search for the king's treasure.
D.To find out the length of the kite string.
32.What does the underlined word“determine”in Paragraph 1 probably mean in Chinese? A.测定 B.选择 C.了解 D.考察 33.One of the purposes of flying kites in Japan is . A.to give thanks for a good harvest in summer
B.to express good wishes to the first-born daughter C.to celebrate the beginning of a new year D.to hold kite festivals all over the country
34.When did the United States Weather Bureau begin to use box kites? A.In 1752. B.In 1898. C.In 1903. D.In 1933.
35.What would be the best title for the text? A.The History of Kites B.The Experiments of Kites C.The Invention of a Kite D.The First Record of a Kite 答案
[篇章图解] 你知道世界上第一个风筝是什么时候被制作出来的吗?你知道多年以来人们都用风筝做了哪些事情吗?本文主要介绍了风筝的历史。
31.B 细节理解题。由原文第一段中“Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to bring down a king...the king's palace.”可知韩信挖隧道的目的是和当时的君主作斗争,故本题选择B,fight against意为“与……作斗争”。
32.A 词义猜测题。由上文的“He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure...”可知韩信把风筝放过宫殿的城墙,目的是确定风筝线的长度。用这种方法,他也就测定了隧道应该
有多长,由此可知本题选择A。
33.C 细节理解题。由原文第二段中“Today in Japan...such as the beginning of a new year.”可知本题选择C。
34.B 细节理解题。由原文第三段中“From 1898 until 1933...to collect weather data.”可知美国气象局从1898年到1933年用箱形风筝收集天气数据,故本题选择B。

The idea that red means stop and green means go has influenced our lives in more ways than just traffic signals(信号). We have been taught from a young age that the color red means danger and green means it's okay to move forward. But why were those colors chosen for traffic lights in the first place?For something we have to look at every day, why couldn't they have been prettier colors?
Well, it's important to know that before traffic lights for cars, there were traffic signals for trains. At first, railway companies used red to mean stop, white to mean go, and green to mean warn. As you could imagine, trains ran into a few problems with white meaning go. For example, one train mistook a bright star for a white light and something unexpected happened. Because of that, railway companies finally moved green meaning go and used yellow to mean warn. And it's been that way ever since.
Red has always been a color that meant danger, long before cars were even around. This most likely started because it's the color with the longest wavelength(波长)so it can be seen somewhere farther than other colors.
But, believe it or not, yellow was once used to mean stop. Back in the 1900s, some stop signs were yellow because it was too hard to see a red sign in a poorly lit area. Finally, highly reflective materials(高反射材料)were developed and red stop signs were born. Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day, school zones, some traffic signs, and school buses continue to be painted yellow.
So next time you're impatiently waiting at a traffic light, don't get so mad at them;they've certainly come a long way.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
36.What were traffic signals for before traffic lights for cars? A.Trains. B.Boats. C.Planes. D.Bicycles.
37.Which of the following colors meant go at first? A.Red. B.Yellow. C.White. D.Green. 38.Why does red mean danger?
A.Because it's the brightest color. B.Because it can be seen far away. C.Because railway companies say so.
D.Because it has the shortest wavelength. 39.Why are school buses painted yellow? A.Because yellow is a prettier color.
B.Because yellow once meant danger.
C.Because yellow can be seen well in daytime. D.Because yellow means it's OK to go forward. 40.What does the text mainly tell us? A.How important traffic lights are.
B.Which color has the longest wavelength. C.What red, yellow and green can be used for. D.Why traffic lights are red, yellow and green. 答案

Dear Sunday Globe,
I am writing to tell you about your article Smartphones Make Life Easier in last Sunday's newspaper. You did an excellent job explaining the good points of smartphones, but you didn't talk about their bad points at all. So, I hope you'll let me give your readers some advice on smartphone etiquette (礼仪).
The first point I'd like to address is loudness. When you talk on your smartphone in public, please don't shout. In fact, the microphones in smartphones are very sensitive (灵敏的). So, you can be heard even if you speak quietly.
Another point is about personal space. I don't think it is polite to make calls in small spaces full of people. This makes others uncomfortable and forces them to listen to your personal business. What's worse, it stops many face-to-face conversations from ever beginning.
Lastly, doing two things at the same time is dangerous. For example, making calls while driving is a bad habit. Pay attention to the road! Similarly, when staying with your friends, turn off your smartphone and enjoy their company.
Yours truly, Amber Jala
31.Amber Jala wrote the letter to . A.find a good job B.provide advice

C.It is bad to turn off our phones while driving. D.It is important to use our smartphones properly. 答案
[语篇解读] 本文是Amber Jala写给Sunday Globe的一封信,信中讲的是有关使用智能手机方面的一些礼仪问题。
31.B 细节理解题。根据正文第一段最后一句“So, I hope you'll let me give your readers some advice on smartphone etiquette.”可知,Amber Jala写信的目的是希望给出几点有关智能手机使用方面的建议。故选B。
32.C 词义猜测题。从第二段开始,Amber陈述了三点使用智能手机的建议,由此可知答案为C。 33.D 细节理解题。从正文第三段中的“I don't think it is polite to make calls in small spaces full of people. This makes others uncomfortable”可知,Amber认为,在人员拥挤的狭小空间打电话是不礼貌的,这使得别人不舒服。故答案为D。
34.D 推理判断题。阅读最后一段可知,同时做两件事是危险的,比如开车打电话、与朋友在一起时不关掉电话等。由此可知,最后一段告诉我们要合理使用手机,故答案为D。
B
Illegal(违法的)driving is really dangerous. It may cause traffic accidents, even deaths. It's reported that thousands of people die from illegal driving each year. Many countries are trying their best to control it. France, for example, has made some strict rules and laws to stop it.
People are warned not to eat while driving. Any driver who is caught eating while at the wheel will be stopped by the police. Then he will be fined up to ￡50 for it.
Drivers are not allowed to read a map, make a phone call or listen to very loud music while driving. Besides, it is against the rules for the motorists to use any kind of earphones. Things change easily on the road. Drivers never know what will happen next.
From July 2 on, it will be illegal to smoke when there is a child aged 12 or under in the car. Smoking is also banned(禁止)outdoors at children's play areas, including those at motorway rest areas.Notices in several languages have been put up at motorway service stations to warn foreign visitors of the rules.
Driving after drinking can put people in danger. All the drivers are asked to carry alcohol breath test equipment(酒精测试仪)in their cars. Anyone who breaks the rule will be punished.
35.The underlined words “be fined” here probably mean “ ”. A.pay money as a punishment B.get money as a prize C.find money D.make money
36.How can foreign visitors know the rules against smoking?
A.By reading the newspaper. B.By reading the notices. C.By asking the local people. D.By listening to the radio.
37.The writer writes the article to in France. A.introduce the rules and laws against illegal driving B.discuss the rules against driving after drinking C.tell drivers not to make a phone call while driving D.talk about traffic accidents 答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了法国在违法驾驶方面的一些法律和规定。比如,在法国,驾驶员开车时不能吃东西;如果12岁及12岁以下的小孩在车里,车里的人也不能抽烟。

Are you a TV lover?Can you imagine living without TV?Well, you could give it a try. A group of Americans from TV-Turnoff Network(网络)have an idea. From April 19 to 25, they are asking children all over the world to turn off their TVs for one week. They hope children will find more interesting things to do. Maybe they can read some books, or learn to swim, or paint a picture. Since 1995, about 24 million people in America have taken part in TV-Turnoff Week.
TV-Turnoff Network says watching TV too much can bring children big problems with school, health and family. They want kids to watch a lot less TV. What do you think?
Bad for your studies
American scientists did a study of 1,300 children. They watched the children for four years. They say that if children watch lots of TV, they don't do well in school.
Bad for your health

An American study says that before a child turns 18 years old, that child will see 200,000 violent things on TV. Some kids become violent in real life.

In the early days of the American West, life was difficult. People lived on farms away from other families. 42 Then they saw their friends and neighbors there. On their farms everyone had lots of work to do. There were some big jobs, and one of them was to build a house.
What did families do to build houses?They asked for help. 43 Women cooked together when men worked on the building. For children, it was like a holiday. There were many children whom they could play with. They enjoyed this form very much. Together these people built a house. At some other time the family with the new house would help their neighbors, too. They helped each other for the good of everyone.
A work group is really cooperative. To cooperate means“to work together”. A big job can be easy because of cooperation. Many people can work together. 44 It will become a small job for many workers.
Today, there isn't much cooperation. People don't work together very often. 45 How can they ask them for help?
Now, we help others only when they have emergencies(紧急情况)or accidents. We call the police for help, we talk to our neighbors, and then we become true neighbors and friends.
Why not always cooperate?Why not work with other people?You'd better not wait for emergencies or accidents. 46
根据短文内容,将下面方框内的句子还原到文中空白处,使短文内容完整、通顺。(每个选项只能用一次)
A.So some people don't know their neighbors. B.They went into town once a week or once a month. C.If you always work with others, it can be fun, and life can become easier, too. D.They asked their friends and neighbors, and invited them to a work group for a few days. E.Then the job will not be difficult. 答案
[语篇解读] 本文为议论文。早期的美国西部人们生活很困难,住在远离彼此的农场,一个星期甚至一个月才去镇上一次。对他们来说,大活就是建房子。男人一起干活,女人一起做饭,小孩儿一起玩耍。这样合作,大活就变得容易多了。可是现在人们很少合作,除了紧急情况和事故。 42.B 前一句说人们彼此住得远,后一句说在那里能见到朋友和邻居,所以判断是去镇上。 43.D 由下文可以看出是邀请朋友、邻居帮忙建房子,故选D项。
44.E 由下文“对很多工作者来说,它将变成一个小活”可知,因为合作这个活变简单了。 45.A 根据前两句可知,现在合作少了,人们不常在一起工作,所以一些人不认识邻居。 46.C 最后一段作者在呼吁与人合作,故选C项。

All I could do on this phone was to send text messages, make calls and play one game. And I loved it. I loved being 53 from the Internet, and I really didn't mind not having updates on what my friends were doing.It allowed 54 to spend more time enjoying my
time in London and watching the people 55 me and really see what was going on.

Learn to Be Independent
Nowadays, many children are treated as“little emperors”at home. Parents show so much
love for their children that when they face problems, they don't know what to do. So it's important for children to learn to be independent.
In my opinion, parents should believe their children and never do everything for them. It's necessary to give children proper advice and more chances to make their own decisions.
As for children, they shouldn't depend on their parents too much. On the one hand, they should learn to do chores. It helps to develop their independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. On the other hand, they ought to face difficulties bravely and try to solve them.
In a word, the earlier children learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.

We often hear stories of animals rescuing people. But now someone has managed to return the favour.
The event took place one snowy January morning. Thomas Smith was walking his dog, Jack,
in the park.“As I was walking, I just saw Jack running onto the ice towards the ducks in the middle, and then he fell into the water and couldn't climb out,”said Smith. He realized he had no choice but to try and save his dog. “Someone else told me the lake was only one-metre deep, but it was at least twice that. I had to break my way through the 6-cm ice. Finally, I got Jack by the neck and pulled him out. I don't think I've ever felt so cold by the time we got back to dry land. And when we got there, everyone was asking if Jack was okay—no one was particularly worried about me!”
A neighbor, Julie Brown, saw it all happen. “The dog went onto an icy lake. All of a sudden, it started to go under. There were crowds of people around, and they were all shouting and screaming. Before I knew it, the owner (Smith) was in the water forcing his way through the ice. I can't begin to imagine how cold it was. Everyone was very nervous, but he was as cool as a cucumber—he just crawled back out, put the dog on its lead, and went home.”
Many regard him as a hero, but Mr. Smith is quite laid-back about it. “Most dog owners are the same as me. They would do what I did without a second thought. But in the future, I'm going to make sure he's on a lead near any icy ponds.”

Last summer I went to one of the world's most famous historical places, the Forbidden City in Beijing, China. It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties(朝代)in China, the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The Forbidden City was built in 1420. The palace has over 10,000 rooms. It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers.
In Mandarin(普通话), the Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However, the color of the palace itself is not purple. The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China. It was so sacred(神圣的)that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in.
The emperor also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City. During Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes. It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a commoner's family for three generations(代).
Right now the Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world. Everyone can go in there. It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques(古董)and treasures in it.
I really learned a lot about the Chinese culture and its history from this trip to the Forbidden City. It was like a dream come true to go on the trip and see the things that I had always wanted to see.
31.How long is the history of the Forbidden City?
A.About 600 years. B.More than 600 years. C.1420 years. D.Over 10,000 years.
32.We call the palace the Purple Forbidden City because the color purple is the symbol of of the emperor.
A.power B.fame C.wealth D.health
33.What's the Chinese meaning of the underlined word“banquet”in Paragraph 4? A.表演 B.比赛 C.展览 D.宴会
34.Which of the following is NOT true about the Forbidden City in the passage? A.The emperor lived there.
B.The wall of the City was purple.
C.It is a historical place for visiting.
D.The emperor had festival celebrations there.
35.In the passage the writer wants to show us of the Forbidden City by comparing its past with present.
A.the beauty B.the treasures
C.the changes in use D.the building process 答案

历史遗迹。
31.A 数字计算题。根据“The Forbidden City was built in 1420.”可计算出答案为A。
32.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In Mandarin, the Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City.”以及“The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China.”可知答案为A。 33.D 词义猜测题。结合上文中的描述可知,皇帝会邀请他的家人和官员出席“宴会”,故答案为D。 34.B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“However, the color of the palace itself is not purple.”可知本题是错误的描述。
35.C 推理判断题。本文讲的是紫禁城的历史变迁,展示了紫禁城在用途上的变化。

People often think of the North Pole(北极)and the South Pole as similar frozen(冰冻的)wastelands. They are both places with very low temperatures and few people live there. However, the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine.
The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go above 32°F,at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as -30°F.
Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them.
There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic(北极)on foot. People who stayed there may face many problems:very low temperatures, sudden storms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited. Few people can live in such a difficult place.
People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard. However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice mayoften cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water(水道)called“leads”. Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.
36.This passage is probably from . A.a book review B.a science book
C.a school report D.a computer magazine
37.According to the passage, what happened about 100 years ago? A.Two men succeeded in getting to the North Pole. B.Temperatures in the North Pole went above 32°F.
C.The environment in the North Pole suddenly became worse.
D.The North Pole changed into thick ice because of the temperatures. 38.What does the underlined word“uninhabited”probably mean in Chinese? A.气候恶劣的 B.充满危险的 C.困难重重的 D.无人居住的
39.The reason for the ice to break into two opening lanes of water is . A.that the temperature suddenly drops B.that the water under the ice is frozen C.that the ocean water under the ice moves D.that the surface is covered with lots of ice 40.What does this passage mainly talk about? A.The thick ice in the North Pole.
B.A difficult trip to the North Pole. C.The real situation in the North Pole.
D.The differences between the North Pole and the South Pole. 答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了北极恶劣的自然环境。
36.B 推理判断题。全文讲的是北极的自然环境,选自科学书籍的可能性比较大。 37.A 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知选A。
38.D 词义猜测题。画线词后面一句“Few people can live in such a difficult place.”是对uninhabited的解释,意为“几乎没有人可以在那样一个充满艰难困苦的地方生存”,因此选D。 39.C 细节理解题。最后一段第三、四句说明了冰层变成两条水道的原因是“The movement of the ocean water under the ice”即冰下面的海水的运动。故选C。 40.C 主旨大意题。本文说的是北极恶劣的自然环境,故选C。

There are some things amazing in the world. Have you ever watched one of these coral islands(珊瑚岛). They teach us a lesson.
In the sea there are many islands. In its warm waters there are some little ones. We call them“coral islands”.
A coral island is very nice to look at. It looks like a ring of land with trees, grass and flowers on it. One part of the ring is open to the water. There is a little round lake inside the island.
If you look into this lake, you will see beautiful coral(珊瑚). You may think they are flowers. If you look at a piece of coral, you will see many little holes in it. A very small sea animal has lived in each of these holes. These sea animals make the coral.
They began to build under the water. Year after year, the coral grew higher and higher. At last it grew out of the water.
Then the sea brought it small trees and something else. After some years, these things changed into earth. Sometimes the wind brought seeds(种子)to this earth. Sometimes birds flew over it and brought seeds to the island.
The little seeds grew. In a few years there were plants all over the island. In a few more years there were trees growing there.
So you see, these islands were built little by little. The workers were very small. 阅读短文,根据短文内容判断句子正(T)误(F)。
41.In the sea there are coral islands in all places.
42.A coral island looks like a round lake with trees, grass and flowers on it. 43.There are sea animals in the holes in coral.

Long long ago, there was a small village in the Middle East. In the village there was 46 old man called Sthira. He lived by himself. His only son had gone far away to study.
Sthira's friends 47 (wonder)whether his son would return, 48 Sthira always said,“Whatever happens, happens for good.”
One day the old man's son returned and the villagers were very happy for Sthira. He thanked the villagers and said 49 (polite),“Whatever happens, happens for good.”However, later, Sthira's son broke his 50 . Once again the villagers came to visit him and once again the old man thanked 51 (they)and said,“Whatever happens, happens for good.”Some of the villagers were surprised 52 (hear)this. Why?What was good?His son's leg got badly hurt!
After a few days, the army came to the village and forced all the young men to 53 the army. When they found his son had a 54 (break)leg, they left him behind. Once again, all the villagers came to congratulate him on his 55 luck. Like always, the old man was still thankful to them and said,“Whatever happens, happens for good.” 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 答案
[语篇解读] 本文讲了与“塞翁失马,焉知非福”同样的道理,告诉我们坏事有时候会转变为好事。 46.an 本题考查冠词。根据句意可知此处表示泛指,old以元音音素开头,因此使用an。 47.wondered 本题考查动词时态。通过上下文可知要用一般过去时。 48.but 本题考查连词。通过上下文可知,此处表示转折。 49.politely 本题考查副词。用副词修饰动词said。
50.leg 本题考查名词。由后文可知Sthira的儿子摔伤了腿。
51.them 本题考查代词。设空处作thanked的宾语,因此使用人称代词的宾格形式。 52.to hear 本题考查非谓语动词。be surprised to do sth.对做某事感到惊讶。 53.join 本题考查动词。join the army参军。
54.broken 本题考查形容词。a broken leg意为“断了的腿”。
55.good 本题考查形容词。此处应用形容词修饰名词luck。根据语境可知填good。

For the first time in Hong Kong's history, an artist has been written into middle school textbooks. He is considered one of the best actors in Hong Kong. Yes, he is Chow Yun Fat!
The example of his long hard struggle for success has been used in a lesson in a Hong Kong middle school textbook. Using his experiences, students can learn to make the most of their time and catch every chance to succeed.
Indeed, Chow has travelled a long and difficult way to reach his success. In 1955, he was born into a poor family in Hong Kong. His father was a seaman and died when he was little. He had to get up very early to feed the chickens and the pigs and worked in the fields. He described that period of life as “happy though difficult”.
When he was 17, he had to leave school. He worked in a number of jobs—as a postman, camera salesman and taxi driver. These experiences gave him the way to play all kinds of roles later in life.
Chow broke into the film career in the late 1970s. He was one of the hardest-working actors and starred in a number of popular TV plays and films including Shanghai Bund and A Better Tomorrow. Since 1985, he has won many awards including Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards and Hong Kong Film Awards. In 1995, he went to Hollywood. Although he was already in his 40s, he had to learn English. He even put chopsticks in his mouth to practice pronunciation.
His efforts paid off. He became worldwide famous for the film Crouching Tiger,Hidden Dragon. In 1998, the mayor of Chicago set January 12 as “Chow Yun Fat Day”. 41.Why was Chow's story chosen into the middle school textbook? A.All the students will understand they are living a better life.
B.Young people will know they must travel a lot to reach their success. C.Chow's experiences will encourage young people to fight for success. D.Students will find something interesting from Chow's experiences. 42.What did Chow Yun Fat do when he was young? A.He travelled a long journey.
B.He became the best actor in Hong Kong. C.He worked as a seaman.
D.He raised animals and worked in the fields.
43.In , Chow started to act in English films. A.1970 B.1985 C.1995 D.1998
44.What's the correct order of the following events? a.Chow won Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards. b.Chow learned to speak English for films. c.Chow lived a happy and difficult life. d.“Chow Yun Fat Day”was set. e.Chow worked as a taxi driver. A.c-a-e-d-b B.c-e-a-b-d C.e-c-b-a-d D.e-a-c-b-d
45.What is the best title of this passage? A.A famous actor B.A bitter childhood

Ⅲ.阅读理解(每小题2分,共20分)
A
I arrived in the UK last weekend to learn English. So far I have already made a few friends and had some traditional English food there. But after having three days of hamburgers, sandwiches and potatoes, I thought none could be more delicious than Chinese food, especially my favorite—huo guo. You can't imagine how excited I was when I got to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students. On the way to the canteen, I seemed to smell huo guo in the air.
To my surprise, when I went into the room, I didn't see any sign of huo guo. Where was it?
With many questions in my head, I sat down to have the free meal. After talking with an English girl, I got to know that Chinese huo guo is completely different from hotpot. Chinese huo guo is written in two words—hot pot; and hotpot, one word, is a traditional English dish.
Hotpot is made from mutton and onion. On the top are pieces of potatoes. People put it in the oven all day in a heavy pot on a low heat. It takes very little effort to prepare. You can often see it at parties in the UK because it's easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive.
Hotpot doesn't taste bad. However, I still miss huo guo—hot pot, two words! 31.The writer felt excited when she thought she would . A.try traditional English food B.learn English in the UK C.have her favorite huo guo D.meet some new friends
32.The underlined word“canteen”means“ ”in Chinese.
A.宿舍 B.餐厅 C.实验室 D.体育馆 33.Why is hotpot often prepared for parties? A.Because it's easy to prepare. B.Because it's very popular. C.Because it's quite expensive. D.Because it's good for health.
34.After the free meal, the writer learnt that . A.“hotpot”wasn't“hot pot”
B.hotpot took little time to cook C.hotpot wasn't traditional in the UK D.the girl knew nothing about hotpot 35.What is the writer's favorite food? A.Sandwiches. B.Mutton. C.Hotpot. D.Hot pot. 答案
[语篇解读] 作者到英国时最想念中国的火锅。在经历了一次误会之后,她才知道hot pot和hotpot是完全不同的两种食物。
31.C 通读第一段可知,作者觉得很兴奋,因为她觉得她可以吃到自己最喜欢的火锅了,故答案为C。 32.B 结合上下文可推断,canteen是吃饭的地方,即“餐厅”。 33.A 根据第四段中的“You can often see it at parties in the UK because it's easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive.”可知答案为A。
34.A 根据第三段中的“After talking with an English girl, I got to know that Chinese huo guo is completely different from hotpot.”以及其后的描述可知答案为A。
35.D 根据第一段中的“...my favorite—huo guo”以及第三段中的“Chinese huo guo is written in two words—hot pot...”可知,作者最喜欢的食物是“火锅”,即hot pot。
B
In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts (主人) and the worst guests in the world. They're not really bad guests, but because the guest-host relationship in China is much different than in some western countries, it appears that they are not nice guests. And western hosts sometimes look rude(粗鲁的) in the eyes of Chinese guests.
In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.
My wife's mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn't smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you could ask, “Is it OK if I smoke?”But, don't be surprised if they say, “No, you can't smoke.”In our culture, if you smoke in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they do not allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.
Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your house, don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift.
In China, you probably won't need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.
36.Many foreigners think that Chinese hosts are the in the world. A.best B.worst
C.most natural D.most different
37.When a western guest visits a Chinese family, he often . A.buys some fruit B.feels like a god C.wants some gifts D.takes a cup of tea
38.If the writer's guests want to smoke in his house, what will he probably say? A.It's OK if you smoke here. B.Let's smoke together.
C.Sorry, you can't smoke here. D.Smoking is a bad habit.
39.What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “adapt to” in the passage? A.think back to B.get used to C.look forward to D.keep close to 40.What is the main idea of this passage? A.Foreigners should learn from Chinese. B.Hosts must do things in the guests' way. C.Western hosts are always nice to guests.
D.People should understand cultural differences. 答案
[语篇解读] 本文介绍了中西方文化在待客方面的差异。
36.A 由第一段中的“In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts...”可知答案为A。
37.B 由第二段中的“In China, guests are almost like gods.”可知答案为B。
38.C 由第三段中的“At the very least, you could ask, ‘Is it OK if I smoke?’ But, don't be surprised if they say, ‘No, you can't smoke.’ In our culture, if you smoke in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they do not allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.”可推断答案为C。
39.B 画线的短语是adapt to,根据上下文的描述可知,中国的客人还有一些特殊的习惯,一些西方人或许不会很快“适应”这些特殊的习惯,adapt to的含义是“适应”,同get used to。 40.D 通读全文可知,本文的大意是人们应该理解文化差异,故答案为D。
Ⅳ.补全短文(每小题2分,共8分)
阅读短文,根据短文内容,从所给的六个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,使短文意思完整、连贯。(有两项为多余选项)
Habits in Russia
There is an old saying that says when in Rome, do as the Romans do. I learned the meaning of this when I stayed in Russia as a visiting scholar(学者).
One day I invited some of my Chinese friends to a famous local restaurant in Moscow. My guests and I were excited about our meeting. We had a lively talk until the waiter told me that we were too loud. We lowered(降低)our voices. 41 The waiter came over to us two more times with the same message.
How bad an impression(印象)we must have left on the local people!In China, it's natural and important for a host(主人)to make a lively atmosphere(气氛). However, in Russia and Western countries, having a meal in a public place means you must keep your voice low. You need to be polite to others.
I felt bad about this. 42
43 My Russian friend Andrey always looks around and thinks for a while before leaving home. I asked him why he did this.“Aha,”Andrey said,“In Russia, people always
spend about a minute going over things and plans in their minds before leaving home. 44 ”
Finding the differences between cultures is so much fun. I like to keep my eyes and mind open.
A.But this didn't last long. B.Russians have their own special habits, too. C.Russian people are usually careful and polite. D.So they won't leave anything necessary behind. E.Luckily, people usually do not pay much attention to that in Russia. F.Even though we tried our best, it's very difficult to fight against habits. 答案 41—44 AFBD
Ⅴ.任务型阅读(每小题2分,共10分)
It is interesting to know what people of different nations like to do best.
In France, when a woman enters a café or restaurant, she is freely discussed, not only about the appearance(外表) but about her past and future as well. Whether she is beautiful or plain(朴素的), there is no better way for a woman to get back her self-confidence than a walk in the street of Paris or Marseilles, and women really like that.
In Italy, people like talking. They sit about in café, exchanging news and discussing politics. They do not hesitate(犹豫) to ask questions about the family, income and private life of anybody who happens to be there.
The Swiss eat as a pastime. Ladies walk into a teashop, eat a couple of ice creams and a large piece of chocolate cake, and then complain about their weight.
For the Americans, the greatest interest is said to be the push of buttons. You push a button in the lift, you push a button for cigarettes, chewing gums, stamps, even for a life insurance(保险). You can even push a button to get married and another button to get divorced(离婚).
In Britain, waiting in line is a national passion(热爱). The British will form a line whenever they have the chance. Long queues(列队) can be seen, for example, at stations when the train is almost empty and everybody can have a seat.
根据短文内容使用适当的词语填空,每空不超过3个单词。 Country What people like to do best 45 in a café or restaurant. Women like to walk in the street to get France back 46 . Italy Talk with each other and even ask about 47 information. Switzer 48 a lot and then complain about their weight. land America 49 . Britain Wait in line. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 答案 45.Discuss a woman 46.their self-confidence 47.private/personal 48.Eat 49.Push a button

A
Once upon a time, a hippo (河马) lived in a river next to a big tree.
One day, a bird came and nested (筑巢) in the tree. The songs of the bird filled the hippo with so much envy (羡慕) that he couldn't think of anything else. Every day he would think why he wasn't born to be a bird even though the bird told him many times he was so lucky to be so big and such a good swimmer.
Finally, the hippo made up his mind that he would come out of the river, climb the tree, and start singing. However, when he tried to climb the tree, it was very clear that the hippo didn't have wings, nor claws to climb with.
Realizing that he would never climb up the tree, he angrily hit the tree until it came crashing to the ground. Then he stepped onto the leaves of the fallen tree, and began singing.
Unfortunately, hippos can't sing, either. All that came from his mouth were terrible noises,and when the other animals heard this, they all came around to make fun of the hippo.
He was so ashamed of this. He also felt bad about having knocked the tree over. He used all his strength to raise the tree back up again, and look after it until it completely recovered(康复).
26.The hippo envied the bird because .

[语篇解读] 本文是一则寓言故事,讲述了河马羡慕小鸟的歌声而想要不切实际地去效仿,最终失败并认识到错误的故事。
26.C 细节理解题。 由第二段第二句可知。
27.D 推理判断题。由文章的第二、三、四、五段可以看出,河马盲目羡慕小鸟,不顾自己没有翅膀和爪子的现实而去爬树,最后愤怒地把树撞倒并站在树叶上唱歌,结果只是发出了很糟的噪音。由此可知河马做的事情违背了它的天性。
28.D 推理判断题。 由最后一段最后一句He used all his strength to raise the tree back up again, and look after it until it completely recovered(康复).可知选D。
29.C 推理判断题。由最后一段河马所做的改变可以看出它已经认识到错误,由此可推断它今后不会再盲目羡慕小鸟了。

Twenty minutes passed and it was still raining.There were hours to go before we reached the campsite(野营地).It was even worse that our small compass(指南针)showed that we went the wrong way.We had lost our way!
We had to make a quick decision as it was raining heavily.Chris said we should set up a tent to hide in,so Mary and Tom helped to set up a tent.Chris and I tried to make a fire to keep us warm.But we were unable to light the fire,as everything was wet.We dried ourselves,chatted and waited inside the tent.At about five o'clock,it stopped raining.We decided to give up the camping trip because all of us had been very tired.

Here is a story:A man sees a butterfly(蝴蝶). The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis(蛹). Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn't struggle(挣扎;奋斗)to leave the chrysalis, it can't fly!The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make them fly.
When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many big supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father's death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.
Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.
36.From the story we know that the butterfly can't fly because .
A.it gets out by itself B.the man feels sorry for it C.it tries to challenge itself D.the man helps it come out 37.Dennis's example shows that successful people should . A.overcome the difficulties B.take up business early
C.become the leaders of tomorrow D.sell clothes from door to door
38.The meaning of the underlined word “mature” in the passage is“ ”. A.wake up B.give up C.grow up D.bring up
39.What is the writer trying to do in this passage? A.Describe where a butterfly comes from. B.Encourage young people to face challenges.
C.Suggest how to become a successful businessman.
D.Explain what will happen if a person fails the exam. 40.What is the best title for this passage?
A.Successful People Have a Sense of Achievement B.Young People Must Develop Their Energy Actively C.Countries Should Continue to Become Successful
D.Challenges of Life Bring Out the Best in Young People 答案

I don't think grades are important. Students have different abilities and some of them can't be measured by grades, such as creativity, abilities to communicate and act.
To start with, I wasn't good at English and seldom got high scores on the exams. But one day,my teacher encouraged me to perform in an English play because of my good
pronunciation and lively expressions. To perform well, I studied my lines many times and even dressed up like the character. While we were performing, I could hear my classmates cheering. How excited! Later, my teacher praised me for my wonderful acting and this made me more confident and interested in English.
All in all, grades can be a way to measure students' achievements in schoolwork. However, different interests and abilities can make a student a full man.

Once a king got two nice falcons(猎鹰)from his son.He had never seen such beautiful
falcons before.He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.
After several months,the king came to see how the training was going on.He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky,while the other was staying on the branch(树枝)of a tree quietly,just keeping still.
The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon fly.But none of them succeeded.One day,while the king was taking a walk in the forest,an idea came to his mind.Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could solve this problem.He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.
The next morning,the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely.“It is unbelievable!”shouted the king.“How could you make it happen?”
The farmer replied,“It’s very easy.I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested.”
It is always the same to human beings.We all have“two flying wings”in our hearts as well,but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we are just for safety and comfort.We won’t realize we can fly so high and freely until the“branch”we are resting on breaks.

答案 D 本题考查动词时态。根据in the past few years可知,时态是现在完成时。 12.Some boys in our class the football club for a year. They are crazy about playing football now.
A.joined B.have joined C.have been in 答案 C 本题考查现在完成时的用法。根据本题语境可知,我们班里的一些男孩已经加入足球俱乐部一年了。表示“已经加入”要用现在完成时;再结合for a year可知要用延续性的have been in。 13.He go out with his parents, but now he staying at home alone. A.used to;used to B.is used to;used to C.is used to;is used to D.used to;is used to
答案 D 本题考查used to和be used to的用法。句意:他以前经常和他父母一起出去,但现在他习惯独自待在家里了。used to表示“过去常常”,后跟动词原形;be used to表示“习惯于”,后跟名词或动名词,故答案为D。 14.—Why are you so worried?
—I've lost the watch my dad bought me on my birthday. A.what B.who C.whose D.which 答案 D 本题考查定语从句的关系代词。答语的句意为:我把我爸爸在我生日时给我买的手表丢了。先行词是the watch,关系代词在定语从句中作宾语,故所缺的词是which。 15.—Could you please tell me ?
—Look!He is watching Kobe's last game with the boys over there. A.where Kevin is B.who is Kevin
C.what is Kevin doing
答案 A 宾语从句要用陈述句语序,先排除C;答语的含义是“看!他正在那边和那些男孩看科比的最后一场比赛”,由此可推断,问句的含义是“你能告诉我凯文在哪里吗”,故答案为A。

Things like these are called electronic waste, or e-waste. Dealing with them is not an easy job. Every time an old computer breaks down, it needs to be dealt with safely. What is worse, at present, broken computer parts are usually buried. It may be hundreds of years before they are really gone in the earth. Many places in China are polluted by e-waste. Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them. This town is named as “the e-waste capital of the world”. It has to deal with 1.5 million kilograms of e-waste each year. Many of the poisons (毒物)in e-waste find their way into the environment. An environmental
group has found the air, the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted.
Luckily, the Chinese government wants the country to change the situation. This year, China passed a new environmental protection law. Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers. Hopefully, the problem with e-waste will be solved in the near future.

I think it is safe to say that snakes are not popular among most people.It would be hard to find a person who is neutral(中立的),or simply doesn't care one way or the other.What I wonder is why something even without legs causes such great fear.
Snakes are quite useful,but that doesn't seem to matter.Snakes help control the population of mice.Without snakes,perhaps we would find mice everywhere.Most of us,however,would rather see a mouse than a snake.
The poison argument(毒性的争论)is a strong one.Some snakes are poisonous,and this causes people's death.However,the poisonous snakes are only a small number.We can't say all the snakes are bad just because of a few dangerous ones.
And what do we do with the people who really like snakes? They like snakes even more strongly than we dislike them.These people learn about them,find them out,and watch them carefully.Why? The only reason I can think of is that these people are open-minded.They
are able to put aside differences and welcome the snake as a friend.
Whatever the reason for our like or dislike,snakes do something good in the circle of life.They would prefer to be left alone,and that is what we should do.If you're lucky,you might not run across more than a few of them in a lifetime.That would be fine with most of us.
31.How does the writer describe the appearance of snakes? A.Something even without legs.
B.Something not popular among people. C.A person who is neutral.
D.A person who cares about nothing.
32.Which of the following shows that most people dislike snakes? A.They welcome snakes as their best friends. B.They would rather see a mouse than a snake. C.They wonder why snakes can cause great fear.
D.They learn about snakes and watch them carefully. 33.Although some snakes are poisonous, . A.they cause many people's death
B.they control the population of mice C.they are not dangerous to people D.they are only a small number
34.People who really like snakes are open-minded because they . A.are able to put aside differences B.think all the snakes are poisonous C.are able to deal with poisonous snakes D.take part in the poison argument
35.The last paragraph seems to tell us that the writer . A.dislikes snakes B.has the best luck C.loves snakes D.prefers to be left alone 答案
[语篇解读] 本文是关于蛇的文章。
31.A 由第一段中的“What I wonder is why something even without legs causes such great fear.”可推断,作者用“something even without legs”来描述蛇的外形,故答案为A。

“Save the whales!” That's what the picture on Jake Smith's bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important that showed he cared. He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighbourhood.
It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whales' coming. A group of the animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake's hometown. All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie, but nothing they'd have to do anything about.
Then one whale swam in the direction, directly towards land. It came in with the waves, and when the waves receded, it stayed. Its huge body rested on the sand. Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers. A few people ran towards the animal. They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water, but it was no use.
An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery, to help move the animal. Jake and his family couldn't do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers. At least, Jake thought, they could help in some way.
Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times they were finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to sea. It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea. Then, in what looked like a jump for joy, it rose high above the water—a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save its life.
36.What does the picture on Jake's wall tell us about him? A.He lived near the ocean.
B.He cared about the environment. C.He worked as an animal rescuer.
D.He thought whales were the most beautiful animals.
37.Why did the local people go down to the beach that morning? A.To swim with the whales. B.To help rescue the whales. C.To see the whales swimming. D.To watch a movie about whales.
38.The underlined word “receded” in Paragraph 3 means . A.didn't move B.went back out C.washed over D.got up
39.How did Jake and his family help save the whale? A.By calling the rescue service.
B.By asking their neighbours for help. C.By giving the rescuers food and drink. D.By controlling the people on the beach.
40.In what order did the events of the whale rescue take place? a.The whale disappeared under the sea.
b.People turned on the lights of their cars. c.Rescuers lifted the whale into the water. d.Animal rescue service brought its truck. e.People pushed the whale towards the sea. A.e-d-b-c-a B.e-b-c-d-a C.d-b-e-a-c D.a-e-b-d-c 答案
[语篇解读] 这是一篇记叙文。讲述了人们齐心协力帮助一头鲸鱼重回大海的故事。
36.B 细节理解题。根据第一段第一、二句“‘Save the whales!’ That's what the picture on Jake Smith's bedroom wall said.”可知,选B项。
37.C 细节理解题。根据第二段第二、三、四句可知,当天早晨一群鲸鱼游向Jake家乡的海滩,人们纷纷跑出去看鲸鱼游动。故选C项。
38.B 词义猜测题。根据第三段第二、三句可知,海浪把鲸鱼冲到了海滩上,海浪退去了,鲸鱼留在了海滩上。故选B项。
39.C 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句及最后一段第一句可知,Jake和他的家人在海滩上也帮不上什么忙,所以他们回到家做了三明治和热茶送给救援人员,尽一点微薄之力。故选C项。
40.A 细节理解题。根据最后一段第五句“After trying many times they were finally able to lift the whale into the water.”可知,鲸鱼最终获救游回大海,故a项应位于末尾,排除C、D两项;根据第四段第一句“An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck...”及第五段第三句“Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the headlights on the sand.”可知,救援人员到了之后,人们打开车灯给救援人员照明,所以d在b之前,排除B项。故选A项。

Are you nervous when you stand in front of the public?Are you afraid to make a speech? Li Jun,a middle school boy,felt shy when he was making a speech the other day.Li had thought it would be quite easy to speak in front of 16 classmates.
“I was wrong.It was very different and much 17 than talking to my classmates during playtime,” Li said.“I tried,but it was really difficult to speak.I felt like a mute(哑巴)and wanted to leave the classroom 18 .”
Li is not alone.Many middle school students now have the same 19 :they can talk about their ideas freely 20 their best friends after class,but can't speak in public.According to Zhou Hong,a teacher from a university,the main reason is that schools in China pay more attention to writing instead of 21 .
Zhou hopes schools can give students more chances to open their 22 ,such as speech competitions,English corners and class discussions.Students can join in any one they want to. 23 he also gives some advice to students.“During your free time,you should 24 more.When you're speaking in public,take it easy.Just imagine you're talking to nobody and speak up clearly,” Zhou said.“That 25 a fine public speech and you'll feel confident.”

16.D 结合上文中的a middle school boy可知,Li Jun是一个男孩,由此可知对应的形容词性物
主代词是his。
17.A 结合上文中提到的quite easy可知,Li Jun以前觉得在同学面前讲话是一件很简单的事情,但由I was wrong.可知,事实并非如此,故此处用harder表示“在同学面前演讲比在课间休息时和同学说话难多了”。
18.B 结合上文的描述可推断,当时Li Jun觉得自己像个哑巴,想迅速离开教室。故quickly“快速地”符合题意。
19.C 结合上文的描述可知,Li Jun觉得当众演讲很难,这是他的“问题”。故problem“问题”符合题意。
20.D 解答本题时要结合talk about sth. with sb. 这一固定搭配。该短语意为“和某人谈论某事”,故介词with符合题意。
21.B 结合上文提到的can't speak in public等信息可推断,中国的学校更注重“写”,而不是“说”,故speaking符合题意。
22.A 结合下文中的speech competitions, English corners and class discussions可推断,这些活动都能提供很多开口说话的机会,故mouths符合题意。
23.C 空前提到了“学生们可以参加其中的任何一项活动”,空后提到了“他还给学生们提出了一些建议”,结合设空处前后的句意,经过逻辑分析可推断,所缺的连词是and。

I think that a great friend is a great artist who can change my feeling about life greatly.When I talk about the person who influenced me most, I must think of my best friend quickly.
When I was in my university, one of my classmates sat beside me. His name is Wang Tao. He is my unforgettable friend in my life. He is good at study and handsome. Everyone knows that he is a genius(天才) of our university.
He is kind-hearted and is always ready to help others. But he doesn't like others to praise him, because he thinks what he did is common. There is an old saying:A friend in need is a friend indeed. Wang Tao sets a good example in many parts in my life.
I remembered that my mathematics was mediocre at that time, but he was excellent in
solving mathematics questions. He often received high scores. Of course, I wished I could reach his level. Since we talked all day long, he was always patient and polite to answer my mathematics questions. Slowly, I made great progress in mathematics. I passed the examination finally.
