My grandfather often said "I won't" to show his dislike of dishonesty. When he was young, he worked 1 a furniture maker. One day, a neighbour invited him to make some furniture. When arriving, he noticed the wood provided was a little 2 , so he said, "I won't start right away."He chose to let the wood dry for a month, because he knew working with wet wood could cause 3 later on.Around the same time, another furniture maker was also asked for a 4 job by a different family. Unlike my grandfather, he began working right away. 5 , the neighbour started doubting my grandfather, thinking he was trying to make more money by 6 the work. However, my grandfather just waited 7 . He wanted the best quality for the furniture he was making.A month later, the other furniture maker received his money and went back home. My grandfather began his work when the wood was completely dry. A few months passed and the furniture made by that maker began to break. The neighbour then regretted doubting my grandfather and said sorry to him. People came to understand his 8 and skill, spreading his fame far and wide.Influenced by my grandfather, my father also follows the 9 of "I won't". He always provides the freshest food, which makes his restaurant very popular in town.Now, my brother and I keep in mind 10 our grandfather and father taught us. Through ups and downs in life, we've come to deeply understand our family values behind this saying-to be truthful and honest.1. A. as B. by C. like D. with2. A. hard B. light C. soft D. wet3.

These operas made 20 in South Korea and in America have a lot of lovers in China.Many people 21 that China's soap operas are not much loved by most Chinese，because they are not as interesting as 22 from South Korea and America，such as My Love from the Star，a Korean love story between a time-travelling professor and a famous movie star.However，Korean shows not only 23 soap operas but also some programmings(综艺节目).

Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers. They believe intelligent life exists(存在)somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact these beings.Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. "This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life，" say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size-the universe is huge. "Tools like the Hubble telescope(哈勃望远镜)have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies，" says Shostak. "And our galaxy，the Milk Way，has at least 100 billion stars. Someplanets going around these stars might be similar to Earth."In the past，it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now，powerful telescopes(高倍望远镜)allow scientists to discover smaller planets-the size of Mars or Earth in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life.Have beings from space already visited Earth? "Probably not，" says Shostak. "It's a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other ways，such as radio signs. In fact，they may be trying to communicate with us now，but we don't have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025，we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other. "26. What is the best title for Paragraph Two?A. The Age and Size of EarthB. Our Galaxy: The Milk WayC. Why Intelligent Life Might ExistD. Earth: The Only Planet With Intelligent Life27. Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past?A. There were not any smaller planets.B. There were not any powerful telescopes.C. The astronomers were not interested in them.D. The Milk Way didn't exist at that time.28. Why haven't beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak?A. They are afraid of us.B. It's a long way away.C. They don't want to see us.D. They don't know how to use radio signs.29. What does the underlined phrase "life forms" in the last paragraph mean?A. Messages.B. Tools.C. Intelligent beings.D. Radio signs.BIf you love reading books，you must know about the book The Little Prince. It's a famous novel written by a French writer. As one of the best-selling books in history，it has been sold as many as 200 million copies in 253 languages and dialects(方言).Now, around seventy years after the birth of the book，an American director has found a way to make it into a 3D animated film(动画片).The book tells the story of a pilot，called The Aviator, who crashes(撞击)into the desert and meets a young prince there. However, in the film，the story starts years after the crash when The Aviator is much older. He has got a new neighbor called The Little Girl，whose mother wants her to get ready to enter the grown-up world. Slowly The Aviator shares his story with The Little Girl by writing it down and sending her a page at a time. The pages are complete with the pictures in the book，speaking about his time in the desert and taking The Little Girl to an amazing world where anything is possible.China is the first country in the world to see the film in two versions一in Chinese and English. The film shows The Little Girl's life and tells The Little Prince's story at the same time in abeautiful way.Huang Lei，who voices the film together with his 9-year-old daughter, says the film is like a childhood dream which is lost by most adults in this stressed-out society."The most touching part is that every one of us was a good-natured kid like the Little Prince，and it's a pity that this good characteristic(品质)goes away as flies，"he says.30. The book The Little Prinse is One of the best-selling books in history because .A. you must know about it if you love reading booksB. it shows The Little Prince's story in a beautiful wayC. it has been sold as many as 200 million copies in 253 languages and dialectsD. the director has made it into a 3D animated film31. How does The Little Girl get to know the story of The Little Prince?A. She reads the pages that The Aviator writes and sends to her.B. Her mother wants her to get ready to enter the grown-up world.C. The Aviator takes her to an amazing world.D. She moves home next to The Aviator.32. What does the underlined word "good-natured" mean?A. kindB. friendlyC. helpfulD. all above33. According to the passage, which is Huang Lei's opinion?A. He doesn't believe the good characteristic is lost as we grow older in this stressed-outsociety.B. He thinks all of us should keep our better nature and never let it disappear.C. He feels excited because he can see the film in two versions first.D. He and his daughter voice the film together.CLadies and gentlemen, 1 returned to this year in a time machine. In the year 2500，we are able to travel through time to any year in the history of the earth. This year is your last chance to change your lifestyle to save the earth.Beginning in the middle of the 20th century, a few people were worried about polluting the earth's water and air，but most people did not change their way of life. Instead, they continued to pour(倒)dangerous chemicals(化学物品)and other waste into lakes and seas，to drive more and more cars and trucks，and to cut down trees.By the year 2200，the earth's water was completely polluted. People could no longer drink water, and they had to use other types of liquids(液体).Scientists said that in the future there might be too many people on the earth. But not enough was done.So by the year 2300，there were so many people that food became scarce. There was no water to grow food and all of the fish in lakes and seas died because of pollution. Terrible wars broke out between the rich and the poor. Scientists were working very hard to find another planet in space where humans could live on.By the year 2400，the air was too polluted for humans to breathe. So we had to leave the earth. But only the rich were able to leave. Where did we go? Nowhere. You see scientists did not find another safe planet，so now we must travel around the universe in our space ships. We are still looking for a place to call our home.So it is up to you to change history. There is still hope. You must change your lifestyle now, before it is too late.34 .Which problem is NOT talked about in Paragraph2?A. Water.B. Air.C. Lifestyle.D. Food.35. The underlined word "scarce" means " ".A.昂贵的B.充足的C.缺乏的D.特殊的36. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Only a few people changed their lifestyle in the 20th century.B. There was no clean water for people to drink by the year 2200.C. All the fish died because of the pollution by the year 2300.D. We found a new home in another planet by the year 2400.37. What's the best title of the passage?A. Stop pollutingB. Change or leaveC. Look for new homeD. Return to the earth四.阅读表达(第1题1分，第2题2分，第3题3分；共6分)The baby is taking photos with his parents，the Duck and Duchess(公爵和公爵夫人)of Cambridge．The pictures were taken by the duchess’father，Michael Middleton，in the garden of their family homein Bucklebury，Berkshire．Taken earlier this month，they show the royal，couple，Prince George and their black coeker spaniel(西班牙猎犬)，Lupo．Tilly，a golden dog，belonging to the Middleton family，can be seen lying down behind them．The photographs of Prince George，who was born on 22 July，were published by Kensington Palace．On Monday Prince William．giving his first interview since becoming a father，told CNN，“He either reminds me of my brother or me when I was younger，I'm not sure，but he’s doing very well at the moment．”BBC reporter Nicholas Witchell said the new family looks“unselfconscious(自然的)，relaxed and happy--much like most couples might look with their first—born baby”．He added，“Of course they’re aware of what’s expected of them．There will be sta“-ananny(保姆)to help in due course(适时地)，but for the moment it’s all rather informal and many might think，refreshing．”Famous photographer Terry O’Neill said he thought the pictures were“absolutely charming”．“It reminded me w hen I first started photography for myself一I just went for the light，and it was really interesting，lighting(打灯光)．As a matter of fact when I heard about these pictures，I thought‘Who have they got to do t hese pictures’--and the thought crossed my mind they might have asked the Queen because she’s quite a good photographer．”The cultural and education manager of Magnum Photos，Fiona Rogers，told Radio 4’s Today programme the photograph of the couple and Prince George with the family’s dogs w as“technically not the most accomplished(技艺高超的)photograph”．“It’s a photograph that any one of us could have in our family albums。

Most of us spend a third of our lives sleeping． Scientists have been studying the brain to learn what happens while we sleep． Scientists tell us that there are four stages（阶段）of sleep． During each stage our brain behaves differently, and so does our body． Each stage is marked by changes in the pattern of brain waves, which can be recorded by machines．In the first stage, we drift off to sleep． Our muscles（肌肉）begin to relax． Our heartbeat and breathing slow down． Body temperature and blood pressure（压力）begin to drop． Stage﹣two sleep is a time of small, fast brain waves． Our eyes move quickly from side to side as if watching a movie． This is known as rapid eye movement, or REM sleep． During REM sleep, dreaming takes place． In stage three the brain wave becomes slower again．Within about 45 minutes after falling sleep, we progress into the fourth stage ﹣ deep sleep． As this happens, our brain sends out slower but larger brain waves． This is the most restful kind of sleep, but it is also the time when sleepers are most likely to change positions or sleepwalk． After deep sleep we return to stage two． As the hours pass, we repeat the sleep cycle four or five times． Then we wake up．（1）How many stages of sleep do we repeat several times during a night？________A Two．B Three．C Four．D Five．．（2）When does a person most likely change his positions？________A When first falling asleep．B During stage three．C During REMsleep． D During deep sleep．．（3）Which of the following statements is TRUE？________A We can dream in all the stages of sleep， especially during REM sleep．B It is impossible to record the pattern of our brain waves with machines．C Our body， like our brain， behaves differently during each stage of sleep．D It takes about 45 minutes to complete the sleep cycle after we fall asleep．19. People have understood that kindness is good for the person who receives help．For example, when we give food to a hungry person, he is lucky．However, scientists have recently begun to study the effect（影响）of the kindness on the person giving it．What they have found is that doing good is good for the doer（行为者）．Acts of kindness can improve health, help a person reach goals and even add years to a person's life．The first study to show the connection between doing good and living a long life was a study on aging（衰老）． Beginning in 1956, scientists studied a group of married mothers for 30 years． They thought the women with the most children would die first．But the number of children a woman had did not matter．Wealth did not matter． Education did not matter．What did matter was whether they volunteered．Women that volunteered had fewer diseases during their life．Many other studies have found the same positive（积极的）effects．Helping other people improves long﹣term health． The gains are the same for men, women, old people and the young．Those who volunteered had fewer serious diseases than those who did not volunteer．This included diseases such as heart attack, cancer and stroke．Scientists are studying many possible causes．One possible cause is an increase in antibodies（抗体）, which help fight against disease． One study showed the body produces more antibodies after an act of kindness．Another one is an increase in Oxytocin（催生素）, it is a chemical that fights the effects of stress from life． Scientists have found a link between being kind to people and an increase in the chemical oxytocin．（1）What does the study in Paragraph 2 show？________A Diseases age people fast．B Doing good is good for one's health．C Women with more kids die earlier．D A long marriage leads to a long life．．（2）Which is not true according to the passage？________A Acts of kindness can improve health．B Acts of kindness can help a person reach goals．C Acts of kindness can add years to a person's life．D Acts of kindness can increase many harmful chemicals．．（3）What can we infer（推断） about antibodies from Paragraph 4？________A More antibodies may not be good．B They help people reduce stress．C They increase with one's kind acts．D The more antibodies，the more oxytocin．．（4）What's the main idea of the passage？________A Helping others means helping yourself．B Happiness is connected with kindness．C Try your best to help someone in need．D Everyone needs to be cared for．四、词汇检测（每小题1分，满分10分）根据下列句子及所给汉语注释或对话情景提示，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式．每空只写一词．20.

Yet, ice cream really came from Asia. In the late 1200s Marco Polo, the great explorer, is said to have seen rich Asians eating dishes of ice. Camels had brought the ice from distant mountains. Before it was served, the ice had been flavored(调味)with fruits.Marco Polo brought this new dish to Italy. In France cooks changed the ice recipe(配方)and made ice cream.At first，cooks tried to keep the recipe a secret. They wanted it to be a special dish for rich people. By the late 1700s, though, ice cream was sold throughout Europe and America. Some great Americans loved ice cream. George Washington was the first to buy a special machine for making it. When Thomas Jefferson returned from France, he brought an ice cream recipe home with him. Dolly Madison, wife of President James Madison, also liked ice cream, and she often served it at the White House. Actually, a famous brand of ice cream was even named after her.In the late 1800s，the ice cream industry began to grow. A way of keeping ice cream frozen had been found, so ice cream makers did not have to worry about ice cream melting(融化)any more.51. When did ice cream become well-known in many countries?A. In the1200s.B. In the 1500s.C. In the 1600s.D. In the 1900s.52. Who do you think was the most important person in the history of ice cream?A. Marco Polo.B. Dolly Madison.C. Thomas Jefferson.D. George Washington.53. Why can ice cream be sold everywhere today?A. Because people can afford to buy it.B. Because there are many recipes for it.C. Because it is easy to keep it frozen.D. Because many people like ice cream.BAs we walked slowly downhill to the boats, the doctor told us the story.“Two months ago,” he began, “Ben found the treasure and dug it up. He carried it on his back, in many tiring journeys, from under the pine tree to a cave he found. That’s when we arrived on the Hispaniola.” “I went to meet Gunn on the afternoon of the attack,” continued the doctor. “Then, when I couldn’t see the ship anymore, I visited Silver. I gave him the useless map and the supplies as Ben Gunn had plenty of goat’s meat. With the pirate s at the fort(堡垒) we could move to the safety of the cave and guard the money. I thought Jim was sure to be taken to the empty treasure pit(坑) with the pirates. So I left the squire and the captain guarding the cave, and arrived at the pit just in time. Gunn went ahead of me, as he could move fast, and he worked on the pirates fears by singing and calling out, with great success.”At the top of the bea ch, by Ben Gunn’s cave, we met the squire. He was pleasant and kind tome, with no praise or blame.“John Silver,” he said, greeting Long John Silver, “you are a villain. They tell me I must charge you, and so I will not. But the men you have killed will hang around your neck like heavy stones.”“Thank you, sir,” said Long John Silver, saluting him.And then we entered the cave. It was a large, airy place, with a little spring and a sandy floor. By a big fire lay Captain Smollett, and, in the far corner, I could see piles of gold coins and bars of gold. That was Flint’s treasure which we came to Treasure Island to find, and which cost the lives of seventeen men from the Hispaniola. And so many others that it was impossible to say.54. Where was the treasure at first?A. In the fortB. In the caveC. Under the pine treeD. On the ship55. What does the underlined word “villain” mean?A. suspectB. criminalC. thiefD. witness56. Which of the following is the correct order of the story?a. Gunn frightened the pirates successfully.b. Gunn found the treasure and hid it.c. Jim saw the treasure in the cave.d. The doctor gave Silver the useless map and the supplies.e. The doctor arrived at the pit in time.A. bdaecB. bcdeaC. dbceaD. dcbae57. Which of the following sentences is TRUE?A. The doctor killed the pirates successfully.B. Silver would be charged by the squire.C. The squire met Gunn on the afternoon of the attack.D. Over seventeen people died because of the treasure.CThe painter Craigie Aitchison was born in Scotland. He came to London planning to study law, but went to art school instead. There he found the traditional drawing classes difficult, but still kept on painting.In his late twenties he was given money by the Italian government to study art and liked early Italian artists, which shows in some of his work. He loved the greens and browns of the Italian fields and the clear light there, and wanted to put this light into his paintings.This led him to paint colours thinly one on top of another from light to dark, but he insists he's never sure what the results will be. He says, "It's a secret---because I don't know myself. I don't start by painting yellow, knowing I'm going to put anything on top." Like most talented people, Aitchison makes it sound easy. "Anyone can do the colours---you can buy them. I simply notice what you put the colours next to."Unlike some artists, he never does drawings before he starts a painting, as he feels that if he did, he might get bored and not do the painting afterwards. Instead, Aitchison changes his paintings many times before they are finished. This explains why his favourite models are people who don't ask to see their pictures while he's painting them. "If I feel they're worried and want to look at the painting, I can't do it."Since moving to London years ago, he has not felt part of the Scottish painting scene. He says he doesn't want to follow any tradition, but just paints the way he can. However, his work still influences young British painters.58. In the passage, the writer is trying to _____ .A. describe particular works by Craigie AitchisonB. teach readers how to paint like Craigie AitchisonC. introduce the artist Craigie Aitchison to the readersD. explain how Craigie Aitchison has made money from painting59. What can the reader learn about Aitchison from the passage?A. He works in a different way from other artists.B. He often gets bored easily with his paintings.C. He found the drawing classes easy at art school.D. He was sure what his painting was like before drawing.60. Aitchison prefers models who don't _____ .A. keep moving around while he's workingB. ask him about his strange method of workingC. worry about how long the work will takeD. feel worried to see the work as it's developing61. What might a visitor at an exhibition say about Aitchison's work?五、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分）66.Diana was a little fat in the past. But now she is much ▲than before. (瘦的)67. Thanks for all the ▲hard work! We finished the task in time. (成员)68. Jackie Chan is one of the most ▲known super stars in the world.(普遍地）69. The boy had great fun ▲with his friends in winter. (滑雪)70.

My mum had died a few days before and I was totally knocked down by sadness.My mum had worked so hard all of her life to 2 us. She had a temper (急性子) and would sometimes shout at my brother and me, but I 3 knew that she loved me. Still, she had been raised in a 4 way and raised us that way, too. I couldn’t remember, for example, ever being hugged by her.When my dad passed away, my mum moved into my brother’s house right up the road from where I lived. I was so 5 to have her close by. I would often visit her and talk with her, but we still rarely touched and never hugged. Later, her health began to rapidly 6 and within a few months, she left us. It was also a cold morning 7 I heard the news, but I was too cold inside myself to feel it. I couldn’t help thinking when we had our last hug.I sighed (叹气) and got out of 8 . I turned on the lights and walked out of the room. I saw my daughter standing outside the door, waiting for me. Suddenly, she 9 her arms and gave me a heartfelt hug.

But you are a thoughtful and steady (稳重的) person. You are just short of courage. You may need to wait for someone to guide you to get out of the comfortable area. Face the challenges in life, and you will have success.Rose: You are simple and you often see things differently. But you are too worried about the opinions of others. If you want to be successful, you’d better be confident in yourself, stick to your dream and not be shaken by others. Believe in yourself and you can make it.Daisy: You’re born to be a leader, and you have a great sense of responsibility (责任感). You always put yourself in the situation of leading, and you enjoy it. But you need to listen to the opinions of the people around you.Lily: It is easy for you to notice chances. You seem to know things ahead and you like planning for the coming events. However, you are not careful enough. You should think twice about what you say and do.11．What percent of students in the survey like Daisy?A．12%B．35%C．30%D．23%12．Which of the following is true about the personality?A．A person who likes lilies doesn’t like planning ahead.B．A person who likes roses may stick to his own opinion.C．A person who likes daisies should listen more to others’ words.D．A person who likes tulips is brave enough to try something new.13．In which part of a website can you probably find the passage?A．Sports.B．History.C．Technology.D．Biology.How do you go to school every day? Recently a survey showed that only about 20% of the middle school students in Suzhou ride to school. In fact, a bicycle is not only a tool but also a weapon (武器) to fight against climate change.The United Nations General Assembly made a decision in 2022 to support bicycles as a tool for dealing with climate change. It calls on member states to use more bicycles. Many bicycle and environmental protection groups have supported the decision. “It is an important step toward the concept of cycling as an important mode of transport,” said the European Cyclists’ Federation.After the decision was made, many countries have done a lot to increase the use of bicycles. In May 2023, bike sales in Spain increased 22-fold (22倍) compared with 2022. That means more and more people in Spain choose bikes as their travelling tools. In London, large parts of the city are being closed off to cars so that people can walk and cycle safely. And China has some of the largest bike-sharing systems in the world, with more than 360 cities and nearly 20 million bicycles for about 47 million trips each day. It could surely be seen as a mark of China’s bike-sharing success.All in all, cycling is an environmentally friendly way to get around. Cycling instead of driving a car just once a day can reduce a person’s carbon emissions (排放) from transport. If more people choose cycling, the world will be a greener one.14．What did the United Nations General Assembly call on member states to do in 2022?A．Avoid driving cars in some cities.B．Stop using weapons against each other.C．Help some countries deal with climate change.D．Use bicycles as a type of public transport more.15．What does the underlined word “concept” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．idea B．organizationC．review D．copy16．Why are large parts of London being closed off to cars?A．To keep the cars away from crowded places.B．To prevent too much traffic during the rush hour.C．To help driving become more popular in other cities.D．To create a safe walking and cycling environment for people.17．Which picture show the structure (结构) of the passage? (①=paragraph 1)A．B．C．D．Have you ever imagined that a mobile-phone maker could produce cars one day? Xiaomi answered this question with its newly produced electric car SU7.Three years ago. Lei Jun announced that he would make cars. At that time, online users joked that he should make electric cars as his name has something to do with electricity. Over the years, even the electronics giant like Apple gave up the idea of making electric cars. However, Lei Jun kept his words and really made it.The company, best known for its popular smartphones, showed its SU7 model on March 28 in China this year. Actually, it is the first electric car from a phone maker. The SU7 would sell for 215,900 yuan to 299.900 yuan in China. The starting price is about 30,000 yuan cheaper than Tesla’s Model 3, which starts at 245.900 yuan.“This is to keep my promise made three years ago,” he wrote on Tuesday. Lei also added that he’s confident about entering the EV (电动汽车) market, though the competition is strong.The SU7 comes as EV makers fight for sales in China. Xiaomi may face some sales problems as companies like BYD and Tesla are cutting prices to attract customers to buy their EVs. However, Xiaomi may have some advantages over competitors since it is already well-known andhas plenty of faithful customers called Mi Fans.Whether SU7 will be a success is unknown, but just as Lei Jun said to many young people, life is a long-time race, and temporary (暂时) success or failure is not important. We should believe in dreams and keep making a try.18．What do we know about Xiaomi according to the passage?A．It is famous for making cars.B．Its first electric car is a great success.C．It has no strong competitors in the EV market.D．The starting price of its car is lower than Tesla’s Model 3.19．How does the writer show Lei Jun’s character of never giving up in paragraph 2?A．By interviewing his fans.B．By listing some numbers.C．By using online users’ words. D．By comparing with others.20．Why is Lei Jun confident about entering the EV market?A．Because Xiaomi is already loved by many.B．Because most people choose electric cars now.C．Because SU7 is the best electric car in the world.D．Because BYD and Tesla have cut prices to attract customers.21．What would the passage mainly want to tell us?A．Failure is the mother of success.B．It is never too old to learn.C．The early bird catches the worm.D．Where there is a will, there is a way.Caroline won the show jumping competition! She has never won it before! Sophie usually wins and she usually comes second. But this time, she did it! Everyone at home was happy, especially Fred, her brother. Seeing his smile, Caroline suddenly remembered Fred said he planned to do “a little help” to Sophie’s horse Blossom before the match.“Fred,” Caroline said. “I need to talk to you. What did you mean when you said: ‘with a little help Blossom can be sick’?”Fred told Caroline about Blossom and the sleeping pills.“Look, I’m sorry about Sophie and all that, but I did it for you.”“Fred!” Caroline cried. “Do you think I want to win like that? Do you really think that?”“But I only wanted to help you. Look! Everyone is happy. You are, mum and dad are, your horse Apple wind is happy too, I think — and Sophie and Blossom will be okay in a few weeks.”“Fred! Sophie was lucky that she only broke a rib (肋骨). Thank goodness she didn’t break more. Thank goodness she’s not dead!”Fred started crying. “I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. I didn’t think …” “That’s alright, Fred,” Caroline said. “I know you did it for me. But we have to tell everyone the truth. I don’t want the Cup. Not like this!”“But Caroline, if you tell the truth, dad will sell Apple wind.” “I know,” said Caroline. And then she started crying.The next day at the stables (马厩), Caroline talked to Mr. Morley, the manager of the competition.“So you see, sir. I didn’t win because I was the best. I won because of the sleeping pills. I’m very sorry, sir. I didn’t know anything about it. And my brother is very sorry, too. He did it to help me. And he’ll never do it again. But I can’t accept the Cup. I don’t want to win the Cup like this.”“This is a very serious matter,” said Mr. Morley. “You know Fred committed a crime. If Sophie’s parents go to the police your brother will be in real troubles. Thank you for telling me, Caroline…”— Adapted from The Spring Cup 22．How did Fred help Caroline win the competition?A．By making Sophia’s horse ill.B．By keeping encouraging Caroline.C．By stopping Sophie from taking part in the match.D．By talking to Mr. Morley, the manager of the competition.23．Which of the following is true about Caroline?A．She always wins the competition.B．She was very grateful for Fred’s help.C．She didn’t like the way she won the competition.D．She didn’t care about the result of the competition at all.24．What feeling can be inferred from the underlined sentences?A．Sad.B．Angry.C．Surprised.D．Excited.25．What can we learn from Fred’s mistake?A．We should be careful with animals.B．Family members should help each other.C．Telling the truth can make you feel better.D．Honesty is more important than winning or losing.请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

He was found to have osteogenesis imperfecta (脆骨病) at the age of 5. The disease made going to school 6 for him and he had to study at home.In 2017, Lhakpa Dondrub entered the Lhasa care center for people with physical 7 , where he found his love for photography and video editing.For Lhakpa Dondrub, photography is not only a 8 to make a living, but also a driving force and an expression of life. 9 he has to stay in a wheelchair, he tries to go as far as he can.He 10 that one day, he will be able to take photos on Beijing’s Tian’anmen Square. 1．A．turn around B．look around C．show around D．move around 2．A．dream B．name C．team D．game3．A．challenge B．chance C．change D．character 4．A．what B．why C．where D．how 5．A．warmer B．faster C．lower D．smaller 6．A．important B．impossible C．impatient D．impolite 7．A．differences B．disabilities C．discoveries D．disadvantages 8．A．way B．word C．secret D．step 9．A．Although B．Because C．Before D．Until 10．A．suggests B．fears C．hopes D．reminds二、阅读理解11．Who plays Town Mouse?A．Sharon.

D．Where the costumes are from.The need for something that can solve the problems in our daily lives often leads to new and interesting inventions. Here are some examples of inventions that were born to solve common daily problems.Earle Dickson noticed that his wife often burned or cut herself accidentally while working in the kitchen. She would then need his help to put bandages (绑带) on the wounds. Since Dickson couldn’t always be there to help her, he invented a bandage that she could easily deal with herself. Sold under the brand name Band-Aid, these bandages are now used for many types of minor (not serious) cuts.Then there was Bette Nesmith Graham, a secretary who wanted a simple way to correct her typing mistakes. One day, as she was watching painters use touch-up paint to a wall, the idea hit her that the same way could be used on paper. She mixed a white paint and used a small brush to apply it to her work. This small bottle of paint with brush finally came to be known as Liquid (液体) Paper.In some cases, people invent things for one purpose but end up using them for another. Take tea bags for example. In 1908, a New York tea seller named Thomas Sullivan came up with the idea of creating small gifts for customers by putting tea leaves in small silk bags. Customers aresupposed to take out the tea leaves from each bag before making a pot of tea. However, some people misunderstood and began putting the unopened bags into hot water, and the custom of using tea bags was born.Sometimes inventions are used for their original (起初的) purposes. Other times they end up being used for something completely different. Either way, they make our lives a whole lot better.14．How many inventions are mentioned in the passage?A．2. B．3. C．4. D．5.15．Why was the Band-Aid invented?A．Because it made wounds become healthy.B．Because a secretary wanted to correct her mistakes.C．Because it can be used for many types of serious cuts.D．Because Dickson’s wife needed to deal with her wounds by herself.16．How was the custom of using tea bags born?A．It was born from a misunderstanding.B．It was born from a new idea to make tea.C．It was born from a need to take out tea leaves.D．It was born from a tea trade between countries.17．Which of the following is correct according to the article?A．Inventions are always used for their original purposes.B．The invention of Band-Aids came from an unexpected accident.C．Thomas Sullivan was the first person to sell tea in the United States.D．Liquid Paper invented by a secretary was used to correct typewriting.“Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?” It is a popular topic among young people around China today. Many people are crazy about it so that they take a personality test named Myers-Briggs test to find out the answer.Many people find the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Test Indicator) useful. It groups people into 16 types, which start with the letter “I” or “B”, such as “ENTJ”, “TNFP” or more. “E” is short for “Extroversion” while “T” is for “Introversion”. “I’m an ‘E’ person. I should go to the party and make m ore friends.” “I’m an ‘I’ person. I’d like to work by myself. I could be a writer in the future.” They believe different types can help them make decisions for activities, jobs or even future plans more quickly.But there are also problems. Some people take the test for a second time and get different results. Some people find it hard to answer some questions. “I like watching TV by myself. But I also enjoy playing with friends. Am I an ‘I’ or an ‘E’?”When you take a personality test, you may think, “Oh, that’s me.” That’s because the descriptions are common. They can be used to describe many people. Research has found that over 50% of people got a different score when they retook the MBTI just five weeks later. “Personalities can change with time, and they are not black-or-white,” scientists say. You may be introverted now but become extroverted when you get older. Or, you can be both an “I” and an “E”. Studies have also shown that the test is not real at telling people’s success in different jobs. So, don’t take it too seriously.18．What is MBTI?A．A test about stress problems. B．A test with the same answer.C．A test about young people in China. D．A test for your personality type.19．What do you probably like to do if you are an “E” person?A．To read books in the library in the free time.B．To cook simple meals at home on weekends.C．To watch movies with a pet dog on Friday night.D．To celebrate different festivals with different people.20．What are the problems of the test?① The test is too black-or-white.② It costs much money to take the test.③ Some questions are difficult to answer.④ You need to take it many times to get the result.A．①②B．①③C．②③D．③④21．What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing the last paragraph?A．To introduce what MBTI is. B．To explain how people use MBTI.C．To tell whether MBTI is useful. D．To list how many people use MBTI.Mr. Utterson was sitting by the fire after dinner when he was surprised to receive a visit from Doctor Jekyll’s servant (仆人), Poole. The old man looked pale and frightened.“Mr. Utterson, something is wrong,” said Poole.“Sit down, Poole, and drink some wine (酒). Then tell me all about it,” said Mr. Utterson. Poole sat down. “The doctor’s locked himself up in his study, sir. I am frightened.”“What are you afraid of?” asked Mr. Utterson, Poole did not answer the question. “I have been afraid for more than a week,” he stopped and stared (注视) down at the floor.“Something terrible is happening to my master.

Open the door.”They came into the hall, and Mr. Utterson was very surprised to find that the room was full of people. Every servant in the house was there. They looked like a crowd of frightened children.“What are you all doing here? Your master would be annoyed. Don’t you have work to do?”“They’re frightened,” said Poole. A little servant girl began to cry.“Mr. Utterson, sir, please follow me.” He led the way across the back garden towards the study.“Come as quietly as you can, sir. I want you to hear, but I don’t want him to hear you. And sir, if he asks you to go inside, don’t go.”Again, Mr. Utterson was very surprised. Why did Poole say such strange words?“Wait here, sir,” whispered Poole. He himself, controlling h is fear, knocked on the study door.“Mr. Utterson would like to see you, sir,” he called.“Tell him I cannot see anyone,” said a voice from inside the study.“Thank you, sir,” said Poole. He led Mr. Utterson back across the garden and into the house.“Sir,” he said, “was that my master’s voice?”Mr. Utterson’s face was pale. “It has changed,” he said.“Changed? You’re right,” said Poole. “I’ve worked for Doctor Jekyll for twenty years. That was not my master’s voice.”22．Why did Poole come to visit Mr. Utterson?A．To ask Mr. Utterson for help.B．To invite Mr. Utterson to go travelling.C．To see what was wrong with Mr. Utterson.D．To tell Mr. Utterson about Dr. Jekyll’s death.23．What does the underlined word “annoyed” mean in English?A．angry B．satisfied C．comfortable D．friendly 24．Which of the following is the right order according to the passage?a.

Do you write a Weibo? If you don't, you are "out"! Weibo means microblog. People may spend muchtime writing a blog, but it takes a little time to write a microblog.Why? Because every message on a microblog is less than 140 words.Microblog started in the USA．It came to China in 2009 andit has developed very fast. In 2011, the number of Chinesemicro-bloggers grew to 300 million. Now, more and more people are interested in writing microblogs. For manymicroblog users, it is a great way of learning the freshest news,talking with friends and sharing different kinds of information, including news, daily life, pictures,music and so on. Many stars and famous people also write microblogs and share good things with theirfans.It is easy and fast to send a message on a microblog.

She started calling out a name that wasn’t mine but she was certainly talking to me, begging me to go to her side of the room.I ignored her at first and continued visiting with my grandma. Then she started begging and saying, “Please, come to see me!” So I went to see her.When I drew the curtain back, she looked so old but flashed me the biggest smile! She opened her arms wide for me to hug her so I bent low and gave her a hug. I sat on her bed and talked with her for a few minutes. She kept calling me by the other name but I did not correct her.

He wore a green tie on a TV program on October 19, 2011. “I just want the students to know that I’m also wearing green. And we are all great people and are as good as those wearing red scarves.”The First Experimental Primary School in Xi’an made children with poor schoolwork and behavior wear green scarves. Parents whose children wore green scarves were angry. “The children still need their self-esteem (自尊心) even though they are very young, and they know the green scarf means something is not quite right,” said one mother. Now, the school has stopped the practice.Educational expert Li Zhenxi said that primary and junior high school students have strong self-esteem. They are eager to be respected and understood. Punishment will hurt them. “It’s better to e ncourage them rather than separating some ‘bad’ students,” he said.A survey made by the Ministry of Education (教育部) shows that 75 percent of students feel nervous and scared when the teacher is about to announce their grades. Some schools have done bette r in protecting students’ privacy and encouraging them. In American schools, teachers post test results on the wall. Instead of using student names, they use secret numbers. This way, students know their secret numbers and can check their own grades only. Some teachers might call the students up to the desk and tell them their scores one at a time.But test scores are not the only measures of a student’s ability. Everyone has his own strengths and everyone can make great progress by working hard.1．Bai Yansong wore a green tie in a TV program in order to _______.A．show people his special dressing styleB．call on people to live a green lifeC．tell students green-scarf students are also good studentsD．remind students wearing green scarves means being bad2．Why did those parents whose children wore green scarves feel angry?A．Because their children did do well at school.B．Because they thought the school didn’t have the right.C．Because it was against the law.D．Because it hurts their children’s self-esteem.3．According to the article, which of the following is TRUE?A．Primary school students are too young to know what self-esteem is.B．Separating some “bad” students helps create good learning environment.C．Most “good” students like their teachers to announce their scores.D．Using secret numbers instead of students’ names can protect their privacy better.4．Which of the following may the writer agree with?A．The green scarves system can make students work hard.B．Student’s ability should not be measured only b y test scores.C．Students who get low marks should use secret numbers.D．Teachers should tell students their scores secretly one by one.5．What does the word “measure” mean in the last paragraph?A．长度B．尺度C．方法D．标准Ⅴ.书面表达19、书面表达每年的4月23日是世界读书日，这个纪念日的意义在于推动更多人去阅读。

In ancient time, numbers were mysterious and were divided into yin and yang. Yin means something of darkness and yang means life and brightness. The number nine is regarded as yang. The ninth day of the ninth month is a double yang day, so it is called “Chong Yang Festival”. (Chong means “repeat” in Chinese)People always climb mountains and drink chrysanthemum wine on the Double Ninth Festival. It is hard to say when the customs were created. But there are many stories which are closely related. As recorded in a historical book of the sixth century, in ancient times, there lived a man named Huang Jing. He was learning the magic arts from Fei Changfang. One day, they were climbing a mountain. Fei Changfang suddenly stopped and looked very upset. He said to Huang Jing, “On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, a big trouble will come to your hometown”. You must go home immediately. Remember to make a red bag for each one of your family members and leave home quickly and climb to the top of a mountain. Most importantly, you must all drink some chrysanthemum wine. Only by doing so can yourfamily members avoid the big trouble.On hearing this, Huang Jing rushed home and asked his family to do exactly as his teacher said. The whole family climbed a nearby mountain and did not return until the evening. When they got back home, they found all their animals dead, including chickens, sheep, dogs and so on.Since then, climbing a mountain and drinking chrysanthemum wine became the traditional activities of the Double Ninth Festival, to avoid evil spirits and bad luck. Nowadays, the Double Ninth Festival is also a time for familyget-togethers to do some exercise as well as enjoy the autumn scenery.1．The Double Ninth Festival began around ______.A．475-221 BC B．435-231 BC C．337-221 BC D．245-213 BC2．People usually climb mountains and ______ on the festival.A．cook meals B．feed the animalsC．drink chrysanthemum wine D．learn magic art3．Fei Changfang is ______.A．Huang Jing’s cousin B．Huang Jing’s teacherC．Huang Jing’s friend D．Huang Jing’s neighbor4．Nowadays the Double Ninth Festival is also a time to ______.A．make dumplings B．buy some wineC．wear new clothes D．do some exerciseB14、Every summer morning, I know I am going to my favourite place to volunteer and make a difference in someone’s life just by being with him or her-----a summer school for children with autism(孤独症)。

For example, the tomato is a kind of very delicious vegetable. It is one of the useful plants that can be prepared in many ways. It has rich nutrition(营养) and vitamin (维他命) in it. But in the 18th century, Americans never ate tomatoes. They grew them in their gardens because tomato plants are so pretty. But they thought the vegetable was poisonous(有毒的). They called tomatoes “poison apples”.President(总统) Thomas Jefferson, however, knew that tomatoes were good to eat. He was a learned man. He had been to Paris, where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes. He grew many kinds of tomatoes in his garden. The President taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup.

Besides Boy's Day, they also have Girl's Day and the 7-5-3 Festival.May 5th is Japanese Children's Day. But since the festival is mainly celebrated by boys, it is usually called Boy's Day. On Boy's Day, children don't have to go to school. Each family with a boy hangs up huge carp-shaped flags. The flags are usually with three colors: black (standing for the father), red (standing for the mother) and blue (standing for the son ). Japanese parents believe that the flags will bring their boys good luck and give them courage and power.Girl's Day is a girls' festival on March 3rd. It is also called the Doll's Festival because on that day, families get a set of dolls at home for their daughters. It is celebrated because the parents want their children to be strong and healthy.The 7-5-3 Festival is for children aged three, five and seven. Japanese people think that these three ages are the luckiest ones in one's life. On that day, these children get special candies wrapped (包裹) in beautiful bags.

Some are tall. The kind that grows around your house is short grass. But field grass often grows as tall as a man.Bamboo is a kind of grass ,too. Maybe it is the highest grass in the world.Some food that we eat comes from plants of the grass family. Wheat and rice are two of them. We use wheat to make bread. We use both wheat and rice to make breakfast. At some places, people eat more rice than any other food.Animals as well as people get food from the grass family. Cows eat hay(干草). Do you know the kind of grass that horses like to eat?( )26. Which of the following belongs to(属于) the grass family?A. Wheat.B. Rice.C. Apples.D. A and B.( )27.

HayC. plantsD. wheat（B）Many people go to school for education. School education is very important and useful ,but no one can learn everything from school. A teacher ,no matter how much he knows ,cannnot teach his student everything .His work is to show his students how to learn .He teaches them how to read and how to think . So much more is to be learned outside school by students themselves.It’s aways more important to know how to learn by oneself than to learn some facts or formulas （公式）by heart. It’s quite easy to learn some facts in history or a formula in maths ,but it’s very difficult to use them. Edison and Einstein didn’t get everything from school, but they were all successful. They invented so many things. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study .They read many books outside school .They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment.
