I’m new, I might make some mistakes in it. Please put a cross (叉号) wherever you see a mistake.”
When he came back in the evening to c3．his picture, he was shocked to see that the whole picture was filled with crosses. And some people e4．wrote something on his picture. Sadly, he ran to his master and said, “I failed. And if this is what I have learned, I’m not w5．teaching. ”
The master smiled and suggested, “I’ll let you know that you’re a great artist. Now go to paint the same picture again and give it to me. ”
Then they went to the same street the next morning and put the new picture exactly at the same place. Now the master took out another b6．which said, “Gentlemen, I painted this piece. There might be some mistakes in it. I have put a box with colors and brushes just below. Please give me a h7．.

13、Our environment is being polluted faster. Man’s present efforts cannot prevent it .Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities and the growing use of man-made materials. What can explain and solve this problem ?The fact is that pollution is caused by man ----by his desire(欲望) for a modern way of life. We make “industrialization(工业化)”our main aim. So we seem to be ready to give up everything: clear air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. Large numbers of people are moving from the countryside into the cities, looking forward to the modern life. But as our world has developed so fast in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem.
Isn’t it time for us to stop to ask ourselves where we are going-----and why? It makes one think of the story about the airline pilot who was heard over the loudspeaker, “I’ve some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we’re flying at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we’re lost and don’t know where we’re going.” The sad fact is that this

15、Everybody in this world is different from one another. But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?
As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it's not easy to change later in life.
Financial experts say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances. This is part of our value system and it has a great impact on the way we look after our money.
According to our different values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail(蜗牛). The ant－works first
Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don't care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk.
The cricket－fun first
The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn't think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance.
The snail－lives under pressure
The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long－term loans from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure whether they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.
1．（小题1）What is the meaning of value system in this passage?
A．Belief of how to manage our finances.
B．The way we look after our money.
C．Something will not change later in life.
D．A set of our own values or beliefs.
2．（小题2）The ant refers to people who ________.
A．Work very hard in summer in order to store food for winter.
B．Could make more money if they worked harder
C．Save money they earn for their later life when they get old and retire
D．Only care about enjoying the moment by working very hard
3．（小题3）The crickets borrow money because _________.
A．They would like to enjoy everything now
B．They are young
C．They think they have no future
D．They want to buy insurance
4．（小题4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the last paragraph?
A．The snails enjoy life because they have luxury houses.
B．The snails live under pressure and they may have problems in the future.
C．The snails will take more loans if they realize that they can afford it.
D．The snails take big long-term loans because the interest for the long-term loans is low.
5．（小题5）What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A．To make fun of the three kinds of foolish people.
B．To make us understand the differences and manage our money better.
C．To make us understand we should spend our own money.
D．To state that we are the same as animals.

16、I grew up in a small town. My father raised chickens and ran a construction company. I was only 10 years old when my dad gave me the responsibility of feeding the chickens and cleaning up the stable. He believed it was important for
me to have those jobs to learn responsibility. Then, when I was 22, I found a job in Natchbill at a country music club called the Natchbill Palace, I washed dishes and cooked from 4:00 p.m to 9:00 p.m and then went on stage and sang until 2:00 in the morning. It wasn’t long before I became known as a singing cook. I had been rejected(拒绝) so many times by record companies that it was hard not to be discouraged. One night, a woman executive(董事) from a company named Warner Brothers Records came to hear me sing. When the show was over, we sat down and talked and after she left, I said to myself it was one more rejection. A few weeks later, my manager received a phone call—Waner Brothers wanted to sign me to a record deal. Soon after, I release(发行) my first record in June 1986. It sold over 2 million copies. My best efforts had gone into every job I’ve ever held. It was the sense of responsibility that made me feel like a man. Knowing that I had done my best filled me with pride. I still feel that way today, even though I have become a
well-known singer.
1．（小题1）Why was the writer once known as the singing cook?
A．Because he was a cook at a country –music club.
B．Because he sang for guests while he worked as a cook.
C．Because he often sang while cooking.
D．Because he liked singing better than cooking.

C．His father D．A business woman
3．（小题3）What made the writer proud of himself?
A．His ability to live independently.
B．His sense of responsibility in whatever he did.
C．His courage in the face of rejections.
D．His hard work in his early days.

17、Where Are We Going, Dad ? is one of the most popular television shows in China now. Fathers now take an active part in their children’s lives.
Five well-known fathers and their children travel around China, riding camels through the western deserts (沙漠), fishing in the east sea, and selling vegetables to get money back home in the southwestern Yunnan Province. One dad doesn’t know how to do his daughter’s hair, but he learns quickly and does it well now. Another one must stay with his son for three days in the desert, because he and his son don’t know how to cook, the two only eat instant (即食) noodles. This show raises an important question for modern Chinese society(社会) —what is the role（角色）of fathers in today’s
China? In the old days, children must obey parents’ wishes and look after them in their old age. But Chinese parents now think that discussing and respecting (尊重) their children’s choices may be a better way to prepare them for modern society. “As they raise their children, parents are growing up at the same time,” said Wang Renping.

18、Since ancient times, human beings have looked up at the night sky. Comets (彗星) and meteors (流星) flying through the blackness were seen as signs from the gods. They were used to tell the future of human lives.
In 2013, a meteorite shower hit an area in Russia. It injured around 1,200 people. In ancient times, this would have been a strange and terrible experience. Today, thought, science offers simple explanations for the occurrence (事件).
Meteorites are small pieces of debris (碎片) that float around in space. Sometimes, they come near a planet, such as Earth. When they enter our atmosphere, they often heat up and become very bright. This is whey they are sometimes called “fireballs”. They are usually made of metals, such as iron (铁), and other minerals (矿物). The Russian meteorites were stony, with iron making up 10 percent of them.
Meteorite showers, such as that in Russia, happen when a large meteor enters the Earth’s atmosphere and, due to heat, breaks up into small parts. Most of these are very small — smaller than a grain of sand —and so don’t even make it to the ground. But others can cause a lot of damage.
The meteor in Russia weighed 10 tons when it entered our atmosphere, and broke up about 20-30 miles (30-50 km) above ground. The sky was filled with bright lights and loud noises. Many windows were broken. The damage cost Russia around 206 million yuan.
1．What did people in ancient times think when they saw a meteorite shower?
A．It was a wonderful sight. B．It was common in nature.
C．They respected it as a god. D．They felt puzzled and scared.
2．Which of the following is NOT true about meteorites?
A．They float around in space. B．They often heat up when entering Earth.
C．There are fires around them. D．They are usually made of metals.
3．When a large meteor comes into the Earth’s atmosphere, ___________.
① meteorite showers happen ② it breaks up into small pieces
③ it falls to the ground as whole ④ it seldom causes serious damage
A．①②B．①③C．①④D．②④
4．Which topic does the story NOT talk about?
A．How meteorite showers happen. B．How to stop meteorite showers.
C．The meteorites in Russia. D．The damage meteorites can cause

19、One possible version:
As a middle school student of Ezhou, it’s our duty to help build a green city. We can avoid
the traffic jams and reduce the air pollution by riding bikes or walking. We mu stn’t throw rubbish or spit anywhere. In this way, we can keep our city clean and tidy so that we can live a comfortable life. And we’d better plant more trees to protect the environment and make our city beautiful.
In my daily life, I can pick up rubbish and put it into the dustbin wherever I go. I can also
save the energy by turning off the lights when leaving the room. In a word, everyone can play a part in building our city.。
