Some science books tell us about animals. Some tell us about plants. Some tell us about outer space. This page tells us about animals.Do you know that not only the fish but also some animals live in the sea? For example, the whale is not a fish. It can’t breathe in the water. It swims in the water. But it es up for air.The blue whale is the world’s biggest animal. There are other sea animals, too. One is called the dolphin. Dolphins need air to live. They breathe air, as whales do. Dolphins are very clever. They sometimes seem to speak to each other.Many other animals live near the sea. Seals（海豹）and otters（水獭）love the sea. They swim and play there. They eat fish and sea plants. Seals and otters have thick fur. The fur keeps them warm.( )36. The passage mainly tells us about ____________.A. fishesB. plantsC.science D. sea animals( )37. The blue whales live in the sea. They breathe air as ______do.A. dolphinsB. fishC. crocodilesD. sea plants( )38. Which of the sentences below is NOT true?A. The whale can swim in the sea like a fish.B.

The cups often have special covers and saucers(茶碟). The covers can keep the water warm.People who go to the teahouses are not all thirsty. Retired(退休)people pay a little money to the teahouses and then sit there all day long to chat with others. Sometimes, people have parties in the teahouses. They eat fruit and sunflower seeds(瓜子)while they chat and return home when they are tired. Teahouses are also good places for peopleto talk about businesses. Some of the teahouses even have stages for performances, such as storytelling, cross talk and Sichuan Opera. Sometimes when people have a quarrel, a mediator(调解员)will bring them to the teahouse. After their problem is solved, the person who is wrong will pay for the tea. It is interesting that as soon as the quarrelers enter the teahouse and sit down to drink tea, they have almost calmed down. With the help of the mediator, their problems can be easily solved then. Maybe we can say the teahouses have some special social functions.41．Chengdu has the best teahouses in China because _____.A．the serving of the teahouses in Chengdu is very specialB．there are many people in ChengduteahousesC．there are many old men in ChengduteahousesD．the cups in Chengduteahouses are old42．People in Chengdu’s teahouses may _____ while they are drinking according to the passage.A．enjoy interesting stories B．watch moviesC．listen to Beijing Opera D．quarrel in loud voice43．Who will pay for the tea after the mediator solve some problems?A．The mediator himself B．The person who caused the problem C．All the persons in the teahouse D．The owner of the teahouse 44．This passage is taken from some newspaper. Which part do you think it is from? A．The sports part. B．The news part.C．The culture part. D．The education part.45．This passage mainly talks about _______.A．how to make tea B．how to open a teahouse C．the special functions of the teahouses D．the special way of enjoying teaDYou probably know you should say” please” and“thank you ” at restaurants. You probably know the rulesof a library. You know you should respect and be nice toyour classmates. But do you have music manners?Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of yourmusic. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can’t hear the w ords of the song. They just hear a loud sound. Not one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears, so even if you are alone when listening to our MP3 player, you shouldn’t have it turned up too high.Take Them off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 player off and put it away. Libraries and schools don’t allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don’t have rules,but i t would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it just doesn’t make sense to liste n to your MP3 player at event. Why would you listento music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.Take One Out! Once in a while it’s okay just to take out one earphone and not ot her. Imagine you are listening to your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it’s not for you.It’s Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 Players when read books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you. ( )46. The underlined word “volume” in Paragraph Two probably means” _____.A. the type of musicB. the amount of a soundC. the length of a songD. the colour of and MP3 player( )47. No one w ants to listen to _____ from others’ MP3 player.A. a loud soundB. sad storiesC. a long movie he words of a song( )48. We can take one earphone out when we _____.A. show others the wayB. talk to fiends on the phoneC. watch a sporting eventD. have dinner with our parents( )49.

Private(私人的) companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water—at very high prices.“A lot of people can’t pay for it,” she said.The government is thinking of making use of seawater.

It has not only made Chinese culture popular in Russia, but also improved understanding and friendship between Russians and Chinese people. More and more Russians begin to enjoy Chinese food and operas, watch TV programs to learn Chinese, and travel in China.Since the Chinese Language Year program in Russia started, so many events such as movie weeks, operas, Chinese language classes, language contests and teaching programs have been popular in Russia.Through the activities, Russian people have had a chance to learn more about the Chinese culture, literature, history and its life today.

In summer, she often makes colourful bouquets(花束) and puts them inside the houses-both hers and mine.One year, shortly before Christmas, a local flower shop offered an activity for mothers in each month of the next year. It seemed to be a great way to thank her for all of the flowers she had given me through the years. I couldn't wait the new year so that I could give a bouquet to her!After the Christmas, in early January, I drove her to the flower shop to pick up her first month's bouquet. But then we found the bouquet would hardly fill a small vase(花瓶).I was so embarrassed(尴尬的). "Mum, I'm sorry," I told her. "I didn't know how skimpy that bouquet was." She looked at me and smiled. "It's okay," she said optimistically (乐观地). "It allows me to enjoy the beauty of each one better."I was amazed at what she said. It helped me realize something more important —we often fail to enjoy the beauty of each thing when we have too many good things. I understood that less is sometimes more.46.

Recently, a dutiful(孝顺的) 19-year-old boy, Tian Zhengyang, moved many people with the story of how he took care of his blind mother.Tian lives in a village in Hubei province. His mother has a heart disease and is almost blind. Tian’s father was a farmer and the only working member of the family. In 2003, Tian’s father died in a car accident. The 11-year-old Tian then had to take care of his family by himself.The hard life didn’t keep Tian down; instead, it made him even stronger. He studied hard and took care of his mother.In 2008, Tian entered Dawu No. 1 Middle School. The school was far away from his home and he only had half a day off every month. Tian couldn’t leave his blind mother alone, so he decided to rent a house near the school.

But what’s the story about the Apple logo? The image of the apple is obvious, because that’s the name of the company. What about the bite? The famous story is that the logoshows respect(尊敬) and honour for Alan Turing. He was the father of computer science. He researched artificial intelligence(人工智能) and unlocked German wartime codes(密码). However, after the war, he was put into prison, because of his beliefs．He could not stand the looking down and chose to bite a poisoned apple to end his life in the prison.However, Rob Janoff, who designed the famous Apple logo, said, ―It’s not the truth, but only a legend(传说). The real reason why I designed it with a bite is very simple. I wanted people to get that it was an apple not a cherry. When I go to markets to buy apples, I always mistake apples for cherries. It really has nothing to do with the scientist.‖Are you kidding? An apple is much bigger than a cherry. It’s very easy to tell.

Coffeehouses And Business D．English Tea And Coffee CultureBTaiwan appears in newspaper headlines more often these days. On April 26, 2005 Kuomintang leader, Lien Chan, visited the mainland and three days later, President Hu Jintao held talks with him. This is the first meeting in 56 years and may help to bring peace across the Taiwan Straits(海峡).How much do you know about this beautiful island? The island faces Fujian. The shortest distance from Taiwan to Fujian is 130 kilometres across the Taiwan Straits. A ship can cover it in four hours.As the biggest island, Taiwan is still only about one-sixth the size of Hunan. Around it, there are also lots of smaller ones, like Penghu Islands and Diaoyu Islands.Taiwan is rich in natural resources (资源). Half of the island is covered with forests, and it has many kinds of agricultural products(农产品), like rice and tea.Taiwanese people are mostly descendants (后代) of people from Fujian and Guangdong. They still use the language from their old hometowns. They also celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival. At the Spring Festival, they even eat dumplings!Once, communications across the Straits were not so good. In 1979, Beijing put forward an idea that Taiwanese people should use better ways of communicating and build better business and transportation. There is now more business and tourism(旅游业) across the Straits. On July 4, 2008, the first direct flights between Taiwan and five mainland cities such as Beijing, Shanghai Nanjing, Guangzhou and Xiamen started up.As we all know, Taiwan is always an important part of our country. We are one big family. But some top leaders in Taiwan like Lee Tenghui and Chen Shuibian have been trying to make Taiwan an independent(独立) country. This made people on both sides angry, because it goes against the history and the wishes of all the Chinese.36. What will Hu Jintao‟s talk with Lien Chan bring across the Taiwan Straits?A. Resources.B. Meetings.C. TourismD. Peace.37. How long does it take to go to Taiwan from Fujian by ship?A. 56 years.B. 26 days.C. 4 hours.D. 130 hours.38. Why do most Taiwanese celebrate Chinese traditional festivals?A. Because they like eating traditional Chinese food very much.B. Because they are Chinese in fact.C. Because they would rather celebrate Chinese festivals than Western festivals.D. Because Chinese traditional festivals are popular in the world now.39. What made people on both sides angry?A. There were no important meetings between the leaders on both sides.B. There was no business and tourism across the Straits for many years.C. People on both sides couldn‟t visit each other by air.D. Some top leaders in Taiwan have been trying to make Taiwan an independent country.40. Which of the following is the best title(标题) of the passage?A. The Beautiful IslandB. We Are OneC. The Rich IslandD. Y ou and MeCMany companies use guards and expensive alarm systems to protect their property (财产). Soon a new kind of protection will be used –mobile robots. Engineers have been working on the first mobile robots for businesses. The robots will patrol (巡逻) factories, warehouses (仓库), and museums at night.The mobile robots will move around slowly on wheels. They will be able to detect people through walls and pick up sounds, such as breaking glass. They can be fixed with loud sirens (警笛) to frighten thieves, or radios to signal police or guards.To protect a building, a robot will have to move around without knocking into the walls. Information about the building will have to be stored in the robot’s small, built-in computer. A floor map could be programmed into the computer’s memory, for example.A mobile robot will not be able to do everything. Unlike human guards, it will not be able to climb stairs, open doors, or move along rough (崎岖不平的) ground. It won’t be able to tell the difference between friends and enemies. Because of that, people will have to be barred from the area it patrols.One kind of mobile robot will be able to “sense”whether a chair or box has been moved and go around it. This robot will also judge size well enough so that it won’t send an alarm if a cat crosses the room. And if someone tries to steal this robot, it will sound a loud, painful siren. The three-foot-tall robot will be hard to steal anyway. It will weigh about 200 pounds.U.S. companies pay almost $10 billion a year to protect their property with alarm systems and human guards. Mobile robots may be cheaper.41. Why is the new kind of robots called mobile robots?A. Because they are able to climb stairs.B. Because they are able to send an alarm.C. Because they can open doors.D. Because they can move around slowly on wheels.42. How will a robot get directions for moving around a building?A. From a human guard.B. From a built-in computer.C. From another robot.D. From radio signals.43. What does the underlined word “barred”mean?A. protectedB. allowedC. markedD. prevented44. According to the text, a mobile robot will NOT be able to .A. sense whether something has been movedB. sense a cat crossing the roomC. move over rough groundD. detect people through walls45. This text mainly describes how robots will .A. protect museumsB. set off a sirenC. judge the size of a personD. patrol buildingsDWe may be very pleased with the rapid progress we have made in every field of study, but the way to test a student‟s knowledge and ability is still as poor as it was. We have almost done nothing to improve our examination system .It is well known that the examination system we are now using may be a good way of testing a student‟s memory, but it can tell you nothing about a student‟s ability. It does no good to students and teachers.As soon as a child begins to go to school, he enters a world of all kinds of examinations that will decide his future or job.In fact, a good examination system should train a student to think for himself, but it now does anything but that. So the students are encouraged to remember what is taught. It doesn‟t enable them to get more and more knowledge. The students who come out first in the examination often may not be the best in their studies.Besides, the examination often drives teachers to cram (填鸭式地教) all the time. They can‟t teach freely. They are forced to train students what to do with the coming examination from time to time.There must be some simpler an d better way to test a student‟s true ability besides knowledge. And that is what we should do at once.46. The main idea of the passage is about ______.A. working hard at examinations.B. having no examinationsC. testing a student‟s knowledgeD. making the examination system improved47. Now the examination is mainly______.A. to test a student‟s abilityB. to test a student‟s memoryC. to test a teacher‟s memoryD. None of the above.48. From the passage, we know that toda y‟s examinations are very important to ______.A. a student‟s friendB. a student‟s healthC. a student‟s futureD. a student‟s progress49. Which of the following should be the right aim (目的) to give students examinations?A. To get a good job.B. To test students‟ abilities.C. To make parents and teachers happy.D. Only to remember what is taught.50. Which of the following is true according to this article?A. The Examination never drive teachers to cram.B. We have completely(完全) changed the examination system now.C. A good examination system should train the students to think for himself.D. We shouldn‟t change the examination system.四．词形变化1.

How _____ (amaze) it is to go to the Moon by spaceship one day!.4. He is talking ___________(noise) among them in the next room5.

More effort should be put into __________( improve) our English skills.10. The students felt very _______ (sleep) in class because they had a spring outing yesterday .五．任务型阅读The Internet is becoming more and more important in our life. How much do you know about it? What is the Internet? The Internet is a large, worldwide collection of computer networks. A network is a small group of computers put together. The Internet is many different networks from all over the world. These networks are called the Internet. Once you have learned to use the Internet, you can have a lot of interest in the World Wide Web.What is the World Wide Web?The World Wide Web has been the most popular development of the Internet. The Web is like a big electronic book with millions of pages. These pages are called homepages. Y ou can find information about almost anything in the world on these pages. For example,(B)you can use the Internet instead of a library to find information for your homework. Y ou can also find information about your favourite sports or film stars, talk to your friends or even do some shopping on the Internet.

But did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is coming long before it breaks?When the storm is coming, the eagle will fly high to the sky and wait for the winds to come.

The eagle does not run away from the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.When the storms of life come upon us – and all of us will experience them – we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief toward life. The storms do not have to overcome (战胜) us. We can make use. We must believe of the great power deep in our hearts to lift us above them. that we can overcome all the storms. The winds of the storm can bring sickness, sadness, failure and disappointment in our lives, but we can soar above the storm by riding them.Remember, it is not the burdens (负担) of life that matter, but how we deal with them.( )36.Why do so many people love eagles?A.

She gave me an address, and then asked: “Could you drive through downtown?”“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.“Oh, I don’t mind,” she said. “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice (临终关怀医院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”I quietly shut off the meter (里程表). “What route would you like me to take?” I asked.For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived, the place where she danced as a girl.υ As the sun was rising, she asked me to go to the address she had given me.“How much do I owe you?” she asked, reaching into her purse.“Nothing,” I said.“You have to make a living,” she answered.“There are other passengers.”“You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,” she said. “Thank you.”I drove into the fine morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life. I drove aimlessly, lost in thought. For the rest of that day, I could hardly talk. What if that woman had gotten an angry driver, or one who was impatient to end his shift?ϖ What if I had refused to take the run?( )41. What did the woman want to do that night?A. She wanted to take a taxi.B. She wanted to see her husband.C. She wanted to go through the city.D. She wanted to talk with the driver.( )42. How was the old woman at that time?A. She was fine.B. She was dying.C. She was strong.D. She was healthy.( )43. How long did the journey take?A. About one hour.B. About two hours.C. About three hours.D. About four hours.( )44. What does the underlined word “aimlessly” mean in the passage?A. 有目标地B. 故意地C. 疲倦地D. 漫无目的地( )45. How did the old woman feel in the end, according to the story?A. She was very angry.B. She was very thankful.C. She was very upset.D. She was not satisfied.DYou probably know you should say “please” and “thank you” at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect(尊重) and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can't hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears, so even if you are alone when listening to your MP3 player, you shouldn’t have it turned up too high.Take Them off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 player off and put it away. Libraries and schools don't allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don’t have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.Take One Out! Once in a while it's OK just to take out one earphone and not the other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it's not for you.It’s Your Choice!There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.( )46. No one wants to listen to_________ from others’ MP3 player.A. a loud soundB. sad storiesC. a long movieD. the words of a song( )47. We should turn down the music when we are alone because loud music_______.A. is not enjoyableB. makes us tiredC. is bad for MP3 playersD. hurts our ears( )48. If we listen to our MP3 player at a play, ________.A. the teacher won’t allow itB. the actors will get angryC. others won’t hear the play wellD. we will miss part of the play( )49. We can take one earphone out when we________.A. show others the wayB. talk to friends on the phoneC. watch a sporting eventD. have dinner with our parents( )50. It's all right to use our MP3 player in______.A. schoolsB. librariesC. restaurantsD. museums第二部分非选择题（共50分）四、词汇运用用括号内所给词的适当形式填空（每空不限一词）（15分）1. Miss Green asks Kate not to keep worries to ________ (she).2. A large number of __________ (ill) can be cured or prevented now because of the development of medical treatment.3.

Why not find a more attractive topic, like “a bite of China”?10. They often have a good time on __________Day.(child)五、阅读表达阅读短文，按要求完成短文后的各项任务（10分）Who help you most in your everyday life, families, charities, or friends? Don’t forget about your neighbours! Neighbours help you more than anyone else in your daily life. So it is important to have good neighbours.What does it take to be a good neighbour? Here is some advice on how to be a good neighbour. Good fences (栅栏) make good neighbours. (1) One of the most important things in being a good neighbour is to respect (尊重) a person’ s privacy (隐私). If you go rushing over as soon as new neighbours move in, they may think you are going to come over at all hours of the day, not respecting their privacy.It is always a good idea to be friendly to everyone in the neighbourhood. This can not only put you on good terms (关系和睦) with them, but will also be a kind of protection for your family and home. If you wave as they drive by or offer a friendly hello while they are out to work, they will think you respect them. If you are friendly to them, they are much more likely to watch out for anything wrong going on around your home while you are out and let you know if anything happens.Another way of being a good neighbour is to be helpful in their hour of need. If you see that your neighbours are in need of a helping hand, it is good to offer your help. They will do the same if you are in trouble.(2)In a word, if you respect a person’s privacy, treat them kin dly and be helpful when you see they are ______ ______, you will be a great neighbour and anyone would be happy to have you next door!1．把(1) 处划线部分译成汉语。

Marriott New York Financial Center and Millennium Hilton35. The passage is probably from _________.A. a guidebookB. a dictionaryC. a telephone bookD. an application form(B)How to Talk Politely“How are you?”is a nice question. It‟s a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But “How are you?”is also a very unusual question. It‟s a question that often doesn‟t have an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the person‟s friend isn‟t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn‟t really a question and “Fine” isn‟t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.Sometimes, people don‟t say what they mean either. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?”, the other person might be thinking, “No, I disagree, I think you are wrong …” But it isn‟t very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say “I‟m not sure.” It‟s a nicer way to say that you don‟t agree with someone.People also don‟t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says “I‟veto go now.”often, the person who wants to stop gives an excuse: “Someone‟s at the door.”“Something is burning on the stove.” The excuses might be real, or it might not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn‟t want to talk any more, but it isn‟t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn‟t hurt the other person.Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people often don‟t say exactly what they are thinking.

Which country is better to study in?”We often hear such discussions. As China opens its doors, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students.

Language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language and getting used to a different culture.Students must also learn to live without parents' care and do with all kinds of things they haven't had to do before, like looking after themselves.

This passage is mainly about .A. the problems of studying abroadB. the dream of studying abroadC. the choice of studying abroadD. the story of studying abroad(D)Hundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day either by watching TV or reading newspapers.Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?Firstly, it is important to report new stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely different stories from those on TV.Secondly, a new story has to be interesting and unusual. People don‟t want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kinds of danger and seem to be “bad” news. For example, n ewspapers never print stories about planes landing safely, instead they print stories about plane accidents.Another factor (因素) is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer to read stories about people places and events in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.46.
