They often talked of opening their own store one day.When Mary was in hospital with heart trouble in 1989, they decided it was time to get serious. Richard, who worked for a business company, expected to work for himself, and Mary needed to slow down from her job. They started by talking to bookstore owners and researching the industry(产业). “We knew it had to be a specialty(专业) store because we couldn’t afford enough money,” says Mary. One idea came to her: She’d read somewhere that about 20 percent of books sold were mysteries, and many buyers spent more $300 a year on books. She and Richard were themselves mystery readers.On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Café near their home. With three children in college, the couple could not spend all the family’s money to start a shop. To pay the $100,000 cost, they drew some of their savings, borrowed from friends and from an bank.The store only broke even in its first year, with only $120,000 in sales. But Mary was always coming up with new ways to attract(吸引) buyers. The shop had a coffee bar and it offered gifts to mystery lovers and provided dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited some writers to discuss their stories.Today Mystery Lovers makes sales of about $420,000 a year. After paying taxes, business costs and the six part-time sales workers, Richard and Mary together earn about $34,000.“The job you love may not go hand in hand with a million-dollar income(收入)” says Richard. “This has always been about a pleasant life for ourselves, not about making a lot of money.”【1】When Mary was in hospital, the couple realized that ____.A．they had to put their plan into practiceB．health was more important than moneyC．heart trouble was a serious illnessD．they both needed to stop working【2】After Mary got well from her illness they began _____.A．to study how to open a bookstoreB．to buy and read more mystery booksC．to do market research on book businessD．to work harder to save money for the bookstore【3】How did their bookstore do in the first year?A．They had to borrow money to keep it going.B．They made just enough to pay all the costs.C．They succeeded in making a lot of money.D．They failed though they worked hard.【4】According to Richard, the main purpose of opening the bookstore is _____.A．to pay for their children’s educationB．to get to know more writersC．to set up more bookstoresD．to do what they like to do6.July 16th was a bad day for Arthur Johnson. In the morning, he set off from his home in Santa Barbara, California. It was the start of his summer holidays, and he decided to visit his friends at Las Vegas. Then he hoped to go fishing at Lake Mead.Johnson’s troubles started while he was driving happily across the Mojave Desert. His car broke down and he tried to repair it, but he failed. He telephoned a workshop to ask it to send a tow truck (拖车) to pull the car away and repair it.When waiting for the tow truck, he fell asleep. While he was sleeping, a tow truck arrived from San Pedro (the nearest town) and pulled his car away. Later on, Johnson woke up and thought that somebody had stolen his car. Unwillingly, he started to walk back towards San Pedro, but a police car stopped him to find out why he was walking in the desert.Johnson looked like a man wanted in California for robbery, so the police kept him at San Pedro for the night. The next day, Johnson’s friends came from California. They proved that Jo hnson was a harmless salesman, so they let him go.三、单词拼写1.【1】My father insisted on ________(stay) at home.【2】We enjoy watching those films ________(direct) by Zhang Yimou.【3】During her _________ (一生) she had experienced two world wars.【4】Tony said he did something _________ (愚蠢的) when he was very young.【5】Yang Liping is one of the most famous _________ (dance) in China.【6】They have changed the whole _________ (appear) of the old building.【7】All the people were _________ (amazing) when they heard the news.【8】The old lady lay on the bed _________ (peaceful) and she seemed asleep.【9】Michael Jackson’s death was a great _________ (lose) to the music industry.【10】Our team scored in the _________ (finally) minute of the game.2.School education is very i_【1】_ and useful.

School starts at 9 o’clock every morning, and every Monday, Wednesday and Friday we have long days, in which we have 9 lessons and school finishes at 4 o’clock. Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday we have short days, in which we have only 6 lessons and finish at 1 o’clock. After lessons, we have 2 hours of activity time, when you can choose from a number of activities, including many sports, such as rugby(英式橄榄球) , football, basketball and tennis.As a boarder(寄宿者), the quality of food is something I consider very important, and Merchiston has not let me down.

There are only a few men in all of history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be pleased only because someone said he was a genius. “There is no such a thing as genius,” Edison said. He thought what people called genius was mostly hard work.But Edison was a thinker as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. He tried to understand them, and then he tried to learn what he could usefully do with them.Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people would do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking could give men enjoyment and pleasure.Edison could not understand why anyone could not be interested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him wha t idea he had about life. “Work,” he answered, “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.【1】What is genius according to Thomas Edison?A．Hard thinking.B．Hard work.C．Useful ideas.D．Useful inventions.【2】How did Edison always deal with the secrets of nature after exploring them?A．To write down what he had learned.B．To carry out a new experiment.C．To make them useful in life.D．To share them with others.【3】 What does the last sentence in the passage mean?A．Edison was born to be a great inventor.B．Edison was able to live another 100 years.C．Edison was ready to make his 100th invention.D．Life was too short for Edison to work for human beings.3.My parents quarreled (吵架) a lot, and I was really worried about it. I didn’t know who I should talk with about how I was feeling. So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend’s house. Though I knew I wouldn’t tell her about my parents’ situation, I was looking forward to getting out of the house. I was packing up my things when suddenly the power (电) went out in the neighborhood. Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on.I was really disappointed(失望的) because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I’d stay with him until the power was restored(恢复). He was quite happy and said.“Great chance.”“What is?” I asked.“To talk, you and I,” he said. “To hold a one-to-one little meeting about what we’re going to do with your mom and dad, and what we’re going to do with ourselves and the situation we are in now.”“But we can’t do anything about it, Grandpa,” I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same “boat” as I was.And that is how the most amazing friendship between my grandfather and me started. Sitting there in the dark, we talked about our feelings and fears of life from how fast things change to how they sometimes don’t change fast enough. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be.Suddenly, the lights all came back on. “Well,” he said, “I guess that means you’ll want to go now. I really like our talk. I hope the power will go out every few nights!”【1】Why was Grandpa happy to see the writer?A．Because he felt quite lonely.B．Because he could discuss the problem with him.C．Because he was afraid of darkness.D．Because he had not seen him for a long time.【2】In which order(顺序) did the story happen?a. The lights came back on.b. The writer went to his grandpa’s room and stayed with him.c. The power in the neighbourhood suddenly went out.d. The writer worried about the parents’ disagreement and wanted to leave his home.e. The writer had a talk with his grandpa and started the most amazing friendship between them.A．d-b-e-c-a B．a-b-e-c-dC．c-d-b-e-a D．d-c-b-e-a【3】What can be inferred(推断) from the story?A．The lights would go out again.B．The writer wanted to leave very much.C．They would have more chats.D．It would no longer be dark.4.When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s mistake.” or “I know I’m late, but it’s not my mistake; the bus was late.” It is probably not your mistake, but once you form the habit o f blaming(责备) somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop paying attention to whom to blame and start paying attention to how to improve the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.Winners are great at overcoming(克服) problems. For example, if you were late because the bus was late, maybe you need to leave home early. Or, you might call a taxi or call friends for help when in need. For another example, if your workmate causes you problems on the job for short of responsibility(责任心) or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or leave this person with some simple jobs. You should accept that the person is not reliable(可靠的) and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your workmate fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges(挑战) and chances to develop their own talents. So, stop paying attention to “whose mistake it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.【1】 According to the passage, winners .A．have responsible and able workmatesB．meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC．blame themselves rather than othersD．deal with problems rather than blame others【2】When your workmate brings about a problem, you should .A．blame him for his lack of responsibilityB．find a better way to overcome the problemC．tell him to find the cause of the problemD．ask a more able workmate for help【3】When problems happen, winners take them as .A．excuses for their mistakesB．difficulties to greater powerC．chances for self-developmentD．challenges to their workmates【4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage？A．A Winner’s SecretB．A Winner’s ProblemC．A Winner’s ChanceD．A Winner’s Achievement5.任务型阅读: 先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容和表格，在空格内填入一个适当的单词，使意思完整.（共5分）Trees are one of the oldest citizens (公民) of our earth. Just like us, trees change a lot as when they grow. At 1to 3 years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns(刺) to tell animals not to go near. Most young trees have large, deep green leaves so that they can catch enough sunlight and change it into their food and energy.When trees are 4 years old, they begin to grow very fast and become strong enough to face challenges in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit. It is not until the trees are 20 to 25 years old that they become real adults. The trees reach their largest sizes. Adult trees give us many things such as oxygen(氧气) and natural beauty. If we give them good care, they will go on to live healthily for many years. In many ways, the life of trees is like our own life experience. So, enjoy every minute of the life of the trees because they are very helpful to the environment.四、单词拼写1.根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。

I love My Country is a Dutch（荷兰的）TV series, first aired（播放）in the Netherlands on March 8, 2008.A tenth season was aired in late 2012, with an 11th season airing in March, 2013.The show was created by the Dutchman John de Mol and has been sold to at least 25 countries in the world.The series is divided into two teams. Each team, led by its leader, has three members. The teams have to answer questions about their own home country, lik e "What is the capital…?", "When did our country end the war with…?”etc. At the end of the programme the winning team gets a bicycle.Big Ideas is a Canadian television series produced by TVOntario, on the air since 2001. The idea of starting the programme came from Wodek Szemberg wh o worked as the producer of the programme afterwards. The programme show lectures（讲座）to the public given by famous university educators.Big Ideas airs on TV Ontario on Saturdays and Sundays at 5 pm, with repeat airings at 5 am on Sunday and Monday mornings.In 2007, Big Ideas held its Best Lecture Competition for the second time. Dr. Michael Persinger, from Laurentian University, received the best-lecturer awar d.The show stopped in the spring of 2013 because TVO had little money for it.【小题1】How many seasons of I Love My Country has been aired so far?A．8B．9C．10D．11【小题2】When can you see Big Ideas on TV?A．At 4 pm on Saturdays.B．At 5 pm on Sundays.C．At 5 pm on Mondays.D．At 4 am on Sundays.【小题3】The writer writes the passage to _______.A．introduce two TV series to usB．explain why there are so many TV seriesC．encourage us to watch more TV seriesD．encourage us to love our country more18. When we can see well, we do not think about our eyes often: It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are. People who are nearsighted（近视的） can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing and re ading, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.People who are farsighted face just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book if they don't hold it a t arm's length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people's eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them. When night falls, colors become fainter（更模糊） to the eyes and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the side of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you. It seems to disappear if you turn your head i n its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something m oving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they cannot see it anymore, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake hap pens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive (敏感的) in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark,【小题1】According to the passage, a _______ is more likely to be nearsighted.A．guard B．doctor C．writer D．painter【小题2】People who are farsighted _______.A．cannot do a lot of close work without glassesB．can only see things that are very close to their eyesC．have the same problem as the nearsighted peopleD．have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arm's length【小题3】To see a small thing at night, we need to look _______.A．with wide open eyes B．with half shut eyesC．straight at it D．in a slightly different direction19. Every culture has a recognized (公认的) point when a child becomes an adult, when rules must be followed and tests passed.In China, although teenagers can get their ID cards at 16, many only see themselves as an adult when they are 18. In the US, where everyone drives, the mai n step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive. At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license（证）, they drive into the grown-up world."Nobody wants to ride the cheese bus to school," said Eleanor Fulham, 17. "It's like you're not cool if you don't have a car," she said.According to a recent research, 41% of 16 to 19 year olds in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985. Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, so me teens get part-time jobs to help pay.Not all families can afford cars for their children. In cities with undergrounds and limited(有限的) parking, some teenagers don't want them. But in rich area s outside the city, if there are no undergrounds, and bicycles are more for fun than cars, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car.But police say 16-year-olds have almost three times more accidents than 18 and 19-year-olds. This has made many parents stop before letting their kids driv e. They need to wait until they are more experienced.Julie Susiana, of Virginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17 to apply for his learner's permit (许可)Chad said he has accepted his parents' decision, although it has caused some laughing from his friends. "They say that I am unlucky," he said. "But I'd rather be alive than driving, and I don't really trust my friends on the road either."In China as more families get cars, more 18-year-olds learn to drive. Will this become a big step to becoming an adult?【小题1】16-year-old drivers have more accidents possibly because _______.A．they want to show themselves offB．they are not experienced driversC．older people always drive betterD．they never drive carefully on the road【小题2】Which may NOT be taken into consideration when deciding whether to buy a car?A．How rich the family is.B．Whether the kid is old enough.C．What traffic condition there is around.D．Whether it's practically needed.【小题3】The passage mainly gives information about _______.A．an American culture about teenagers' drivingB．a change in the Chinese cultureC．a cultural difference between America and ChinaD．the relationship between driving and a person's development【小题4】Which may serve as the best title of the article?A．Cars Helping You to Grow Up B．Driving into the Grown-up WorldC．Teenagers' Driving in America D．Recognized Point of Becoming an Adult20. Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn't think there would be any difficulty in getting it repaired, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception（接待）． I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth -- so I decided that myapproachmust be wrong.I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?"He looked it over carefully and said,- "Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?"“Twenty pounds," I said.“OK," he said, "I'll give you twenty pounds."“It's got a slightly broken leg," I said.‘'Yes, I saw that, it's nothing."Everything was going according to my plan and l was getting excited. "What will you do with it?" I asked.“Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done."“I'll buy it," I said.“What do you mean? You've just sold it to me," he said."Yes, I know but I've changed my mind. I am sorry. I'll give you twenty-seven pounds for it."“You must be crazy," he said. Then, suddenly_________. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair."“You're right," I said. "And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, 'Would you repair this chair for me?"'“I wouldn't have agreed to do it," he said. "We don't do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I'II repair this for you. Shall we say for fiv e pounds?" He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.【小题1】We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer_______.A．was rather impolite B．was warmly receivedC．asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair D．asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair【小题2】The underlined word "approach" in the second paragraph means_______.A．plan for dealing with things B．way of doing thingsC．idea of repairing things D．decision to sell things【小题3】The expression "the penny dropped" in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper_______.A．changed his mind B．accepted the offerC．saw the writer's purpose D．decided to help the writer【小题4】How much did the writer pay?A．￡5.B．￡7.C．￡20.D．￡27.【小题5】From the text, we can learn that the writer was_______.A．honest B．careful C．smart D．funny四、根据句意填空21. 根据首字母或汉语注释，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。

The livestream (网络直播) has made it. It is not only fun, but also a new stage for traditional artists.On video websites and apps such as bilibili and TikTok, many traditional artists are trying the livestream for the first time. Some of them sing Peking Opera, some show their handmade pieces of art, while some others perform classical music.Li, 59 years old, is a laosheng in Peking Opera who started the livestream this year. Unlike performing on a big stage, Li uses everyday places as his stages, including his yard, his bedroom, and even a sofa. Besides singing, Li also teaches people about Peking Opera in a fun way. People can ask him questions and get answers directly. “The livestream has brought this great art to more people,” Li said. “It allows young people to know this traditional art and learn more about it in an easy way.”Other artists also see the livestream as a new way. Bilibili once live-streamed a fashion show. Performers showed beautiful clothes from the Tang and Ming Dynasties. During the show, people enjoyed the clothes and watched how performers used ancient style of making up. For example, one performer taught people how to draw the guiye eyebrow (桂叶眉), which was popular during the Tang Dynasty.There is no doubt that the livestream has created a new way in which traditional culture can be kept alive.14.

I pulled the cart. The weather was rainy and windy, but we travelled happily. Gordon’s business took a long time. We didn’t leave until late afternoon. The wind was then much higher. My m aster said to John, “I have never been out in such a storm!” Mr Gordon and John could not see well in the rain.We came to a wooden bridge. It was very nearly dark. We could just see that the water was over the middle of the bridge. But as that happened sometimes when the floods were out, master did not stop. The moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge, I felt sure there was something wrong. I dare (敢于) not go forward, and I made a dead stop. “Go on, Beauty,” said my master, and he gave me a touch with the whip (鞭子), but I dare not move. He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare not go forward.“There’s something wrong, sir,” said John, and he got out and tried to lead me forward. “Come on, Beauty.” But I knew that the bridge was not safe.Just then the man on the other side saw us.“Hey! Halloo! Stop!” he cried.“What’s the matter?” shouted my master.“The bridge is broken in the middle, and part of it is carried away. If you go onto it, you’ll be into the river.”“Thank you for saving us, Beauty!” said John. He gently turned me round to the right hand road by the river side. It grew darker and darker, stiller and stiller.When we returned home the Squire told Mrs Gordon, “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.”John took me to the stable. Oh! What a good supper he gave me that night! What a nice bed of straw! I was glad of it, for I was tired.— Adapted from Black Beauty18.

In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. A new study adds chickens to the list. It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls.The researchers (研究者) put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment (失望). The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves.Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens.The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry (产业) in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier.22. Which is most probably the sound wave of a happy call by a chicken?A．B．C．D．23. How did the volunteers help with the research?A．By listening to the chicken calls. B．By taking care of the chickens.C．By finding food for the chickens. D．By making the chickens happy.24. What does the underlined word “identify” mean in Paragraph 4?A．Control. B．Hide. C．Know. D．Hurt.25. What is the best title for the passage?A．Chickens’ Food Calls B．Happy Chickens, Sad ChickensC．Farmers’ Best Choice D．Smart Farmers, Healthy Farmers阅读下面短文，从其后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，有两项是多余的。

She had always wanted to put astring the hole of a key.For the 5 years Nancy was in the school, the teachers always to help her, but always ended up doing all the work for her. I knew Nancy could do , so I encouraged her to do something herself. At first Nancy often failed and got very . Sometimes I wanted to give up too. , after a week Nancy was able to do she had wanted to alone for so many years. Her teachers cried when they saw the thing she was able to do with just some encouragement.Disabled people should be told they can’t do this or that. With ju st some encouragement they can do it.

He walked around, showing off his power and pride.Each day Lion took a long lazy sleep under the shade of his favourite tree. He always dreamed of weaker animals bowing(鞠躬) before him.One day Mouse ran through the jungle and tripped over Lion’s huge paws. Lion woke up with a start. “How dare you wake me up!” he shouted angrily. Lion grabbed(抓住) Mouse with one paw. “On the second thought, I’m in the mood for the snack, and y ou’ll make a delicious meal.” he said.Mouse cried out, “King Lion, please spare（饶恕）me! If you let me live, I’ll always remember yourkindness. And, some day, I might be able to help you.”“How could such a powerless little mouse ever help me?” That thou ght made Lion laugh so much that he decided to let Mouse go. A week later, Lion was walking through the jungle on the way to his favourite tree when he stepped onto a hunter’s net. The net scooped him up. No matter how he twisted (扭动) and turned, hecoul dn’t escape.When Mouse heard Lion’s frightened shouts, he raced to help. Mouse quickly chewed（咬）through the ropes to make a hole in the net. Soon, Lion moved out and was free. Lion looked down at the little mouse. “Thank you for saving my life,” said Lio n, smiling his widest smile. “I was mistaken. You are not a powerless little mouse. You are a great friend!”【1】What did Lion do each day?A．He stepped onto a hunter’s net.B．He bowed before weaker animals.C．He showed kindness to animals in the jungle.D．He had a good sleep under his favourite tree.【2】How did Mouse wake up Lion?A．He made a hole in the net.B．He shouted at Lion angrily.C．He tripped over Lion’s paws.D．He prepared a delicious meal for Lion.【3】 Why did Lion let Mouse go?A．Because he was trapped in the net.B．Because he took Mouse as his good friend.C．Because he believed Mouse could save him.D．Because he doubted if Mouse could be of any help.【4】 What do you think of Mouse?A．Clever and honest.B．Silly and lazyC．Humorous and stubborn D．Proud and selfish.【5】 What can we learn from the passage?A．Pride makes you lose what you have.B．Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.C．Even the small can show great strength.D．When the cat’s away, the mice will play.2.What do you think of black cats? Are they unluckier than cats of other colors? Many people in Western countries think so. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), did a study on cat colours and people’s understandings of cat personalities.The study found that people do judge(判断) cat personalities by color. Scientists did a survey(调查) on the Internet. There were 49 statements (描述) matching five cat colorings with 10 personalities. People think orange and bi-coloured (双色的) cats are friendly, tri-coloured (三色的) cats are not generous, and white cats are calm, lazy and shy. As for black cats, people think they don’t have special personalities.But why do so many people dislike keeping black cats as pets? People think black cats have less special personalities, which might be because of their bad reputation (口碑). They think black cats may bring bad luck, especially at Halloween. Movies and television shows also make people believe that.Although people have these ideas, UC Berkeley scientists give another reason: people don’t think black cats are pretty enough. After all, nothing can show black cats are unluckier than other cats. “You can’t judge a c at by its colour, because it’s the personality of the cat, not the colour, that will let you know if the cat is right for you,” Cathy Marden, a scientist said.【1】 Many people in Western countries may think black cats are ______.A．lovely animals B．a sign of bad luckC．a sign of good luck D．unfriendly animals【2】 The main idea of paragraph 2 is that ______.A．people often complain(抱怨) about black cats on the InternetB．people thinkcats of different colours have different personalitiesC．black cats are less popular than other catsD．the study is a great success【3】 According to the study, people think that______.A．black cats have special personalitiesB．orange and bi-coloured cats are generousC．cats with three colours are friendlyD．white cats are calm, lazy and shy【4】People don’t like black cats for the following reasons EXCEPT ______.A．black cats often appear in TV showsB．black cats bring bad luck to peopleC．black cats have bad reputationsD．they don’t think black cats are beautiful【5】 The passage mainly talks about ______.A．why black cats are popular in moviesB．why people are not willing to keep black cats as petsC．different colour cats have different personalitiesD．different people have different ideas on black cats3.Young people and older people don’t always agree. They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special programme in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and build houses. The adults teach them these skills.There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn photo taking or painting. Others sit around and talk or sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.When people live together, rules are necessary. In this programme the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask, “Why did it happen? What should we do about it?”One of the teenagers has this to say about his experience, “You stop thinking only about yourself, You learn to think about the group.”【1】In one special programme in New York State, young and older people _______ .A．don’t work well together.B．are friendly to one another.C．teach one another new ways of building houses.D．spend eight weeks together, working as farmers..【2】 All the members work some time every day mainly to _______ .A．lead a busy life.B．learn new skills of farming;C．get used to the life on the farmsD．find value and pleasure in work【3】 Living together, _________ .A．the teenagers don’t have to obey(遵守) the rulesB．the teenagers have to obey the rules the adults makeC．the members have no free time on weekendsD．the members are not allowed to break the rules they make together【4】The last paragraph shows that the teenager thinks his experience in the programme is ____ . A．unpleasant B．tiringC．helping D．boring【5】 The best title for the passage is __________ .A．The rules of living togetherB．Life in New York StateC．Teenagers in the special groupD．Free hours in the special work group4.Chris is not a traditional explorer（探险者）----he usually works in an office for a large organization. Yet his job can sometimes be just as exciting and dangerous as being an explorer.Chris works for MSF, an organization also known as Doctors Without Borders (无国界医生). MSF sends trained doctors all over the world to help people after a war or a disaster. Chris is a doctor from France who has travelled to many places to organize programmes that help people.At the moment, there are over 27,000 trained medical staff taking part in MSF projects and tasks. The organization received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999. All kinds of doctors can volunteer for MSF. They need tobe prepared to go almost anywhere in the world and, of course, they should expect difficult conditions. Doctors with experience in tropical（热带的）diseases are especially useful because most of MSF’s work is in Africa. When MSF accepts a doctor for a task, he has to go for at least six months. When doctors have completed a few tasks, they might be sent on an emergency（紧急的）task following a disaster, such as an earthquake.But why would a doctor leave a comfortable life and a good salary（工资）to join MSF? According to Chris, the experience you gain is a great help in your career. Besides, just like the explorers of the past, you need to keep an open mind and learn to mix well with the people you meet. Most importantly, at the end of each task, youhave made a real difference to people’s lives.【1】 Does Chris work for a large organization?______________________________________________________________________【2】When does MSF send trained doctors all over the world to help people?______________________________________________________________________【3】How many medical staff are taking part in MSF projects and tasks?______________________________________________________________________【4】 What kind of doctors are greatly needed in Africa?______________________________________________________________________【5】 According to Chris, why is his work important to other people?______________________________________________________________________5.As a teenager, you’re trying to learn who you are.

For many people, the rickshaw in Kolkata has many advantages. When the traffic is bad, rickshaws find a way through the traffic. If you miss your bus and there aren't any taxis, you can always find a rickshaw in Kolkata. Rickshaws are from your house to the market and waits for you. Then he loads (装载)all your things, drops you off outside your home and helps you unload, No other type of public transport offers this kind of service.From June to September, Kolkata gets heavy rain. Sometimes it rains for 48 hours without a break. In some parts of the city, the roads flood (水淹), and anything with an engine(发动机) is useless, But the rickshaw drivers never stop working, even with water all around them.But not everyone thinks rickshaws are a good thing. The local government wants to ban rickshaws. They believe it is wrong for one man to pull another person when there is modern transport in the city. However, there is a problem with this plan. Many of the rickshaw drivers come from the countryside. The only job they can find in Kolkata is pulling a rickshaw, If the city bans rickshaws, these men won't have a job. So for the moment, the people of Kolkata still go by rickshaw.【1】What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?A．The rickshaw drivers carry things for local people in Kolkata.B．Parents need rickshaws for taking children to school in Kolkata.C．Rickshaws can find a way through the bad traffic in Kolkata.D．Rickshaws are very useful for the people's daily life in Kolkata.【2】Which type of transport may you take when the roads flood in Kolkata?A．A bus.B．A taxi.C．A car.D．A rickshaw.【3】What does the underlined word "ban" mean?A．make B．encourage C．forbid D．collect【4】What can we learn from the passage?A．The rickshaws in Kolkata have loud horns.B．The rickshaw is still a part of public transport in Kolkata.C．The local government offer many other jobs to the rickshaw driven.D．The people in Kolkata are supposed to take rickshaws instead of cars.三、阅读理解1.Expressions cover all parts of our life. They may be around your ears every day. You may know a lot of Chinese expressions that describe how you feel. Here are some English ones for your enjoyment.Have Your Heart in Your MouthThis expression means that y ou’re really afraid or anxious about something. When your heart starts beating so much that you can feel a thumping(怦怦跳) in your throat, it may feel like you “have your heart in your mouth”. Have Butterflies in the StomachHow did butterflies get in your s tomach? Well, those really aren’t butterflies in there. It is a way of describing those nervous feelings you might get before a test or a very important decision.These stomach flutters(跳动) are normal and happen to many people. Some people believe having a few butterflies might even help you perform better.Sick as a DogIf you’ve ever been very sick, you may have used this expression. Because dogs eat just about anything they find, they often get sick. So it’s all right to describe someone who’s not feeling well as being “sick as a dog” . Under the WeatherWhen it’s rainy all day outside, how would you feel? This expression comes from the idea that bad weather might hurt a person’s health and mood .【1】Someone believes ________ if you ‘have butterflies in the stomach” before a test.A．You’re sure to fail B．You will forget everythingC．You might do better D．You are sure to do better【2】When somebody says “ under the weather” , he must feel __________ .A．upset B．happy C．calm D．afraid【3】All expressions discussed in the passage are about _________A．health B．habits C．feelings D．Weather2.Long, long ago a man went to India and he had never been there before. When he got there, he saw a lot of fruit, but much of it was expensive because they couldn’t grow much because there was little water. Finally he saw a big basket of some very red and long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop.So he went up and asked, “How much each kilo?” and the shop keeper said, “Two rupees(卢比).”Two rupees in India was nothing. So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it: oh, my god! His eyes watered, his mouth watered and burnt, and his face became red. He jumped up and down, saying, “Ah! Ah! Ah!”But he still continued to eat the fruit! Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, “You’re crazy, man. Those are chilies(辣椒)!You can’t eat so many! People use them as a condiment, but only a little bit to put into food for taste. You can’t just eat them like that.” But the silly man said, “No, I can’t stop! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them up. It’s my money!”And you think that man was silly, right? We sometimes do a lot of things like that. We spend money, time or effort doing something. And even though it’s been a long time, hard experience tells us it won’t work, and we know there’s no more hope, we still continue just because we’ve put money, time, effort and love in to it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and felt so bad but couldn’t stop because he didn’t want to waste the money he’d paid.So even if you’ve lost something, let it go and move on. That’s better than continuing to lose.【1】The man chose to buy the red and long fruit only because .A．he hadn’t eaten it before B．he was hungryC．it was cheap D．he hadn’t seen it before【2】The underlined word “condiment” in Paragraph3 probably means_______.A．零食B．水果C．调料D．蔬菜【3】Which of the following sentence is TRUE?A．The man went to India to buy fruit.B．The man didn’t want to waste money.C．The man bought the fruit because it was expensive.D．India can grow a lot of fruit.【4】From the passage, we can learn that_________.A．we shouldn’t waste moneyB．we shouldn’t eat chiliesC．we shouldn’t buy something cheapD．letting something go is better than keeping on losing3.Sports can help you keep fit and close to nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should realize that sport you choose might have great influence on the environment. Some sports are resource—hungry. Golf(高尔夫), as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also lots of water. Besides, huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental changes. For example, in the dry places of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for (为…承担责任) serious water shortage(短缺) in some local areas.There are many environment—friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes, and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also help you stay healthy. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and keep thin.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment—friendly equipment and buying products(产品) made from recycled materials. But the final goal shou ld be “green gyms.” They are better replacements(替代) for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms(体育，体育馆) play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership(会员身份). And best of all, it’s free.【1】Which of following does the writer most probably support according to the passage?A．Bicycling around the lake.B．Car racing on the road.C．Playing basketball in a gym.D．Swimming in a sports center.【2】What does the phrase “resource—hungry” in this passage mean in Chinese?A．广为流行的B．亲近自然的C．低成本的D．耗费资源的【3】The writer uses power walking as an example mainly because________.A．it is an outdoor sport.B．it is loved by many people.C．it uses fewer recourses.D．it is supported by experts.【4】The writer writes the passage to __________.A．show us disadvantages of golf.B．encourage us to take part in green sports.C．explain the major sports influence of popular sports.D．discuss different kinds of environment—friendly sport.四、单词拼写1.请根据括号中的中文提示、英文释义或句意，写出句中所缺单词，使句子通顺。

She hadn't seen the sun for eighteen and a half weeks. Stefania was in a research program, and the scientists in the program were studying body rhythms. In this experiment Stefania had spent 130 days in a cave, 30 feet in depth.During her time in the cave, Stefarua had been completely alone except for two white mice. Her living place had been very comfortable, but there had been nothing to tell her the time. She'd had no clocks or watches, no television or radio. There had been no natural light and the temperature had always been kept at 21℃.The results were very interesting. Stefania had been in the cave for over four months, but she thought she had been there for only two. Her body clock had changed. She hadn't kept to a 24-hour day, she had stayed awake for 20-25 hours and then had slept for 10 hours. She had eaten fewer meals and had lost 171bs in weight as a results! She had also become rather depressed (抑郁) .How had she spent her time in the cave? As part of the experiment she'd done some physical and mental tests. She'd recorded her daily activities and the results of the tests on a computer. This computer had been specially programmed for the project. Whenever she was free, she'd played cards, read books and listened to music.She'd also learned French from tapes.The experiment showed that our body clocks are affected by light and temperature. For example, the pattern of day and night makes us wake up and go to sleep. However, people are affected in different ways. Some people wake up naturally at 5:00 am, but others don't start to wake up till 9:00 or 10:00 am. This affects the whole daily rhythm. As a result, the early risers, on the other hand, are tired during the day and only come to life in the afternoon or evening!【1】Stefania stayed in the cave for a long time because_______．A．she was asked to do research on miceB．she wanted to experience lonelinessC．she was the subject of a studyD．she needed to record her life【2】What is a cause for the change of Stefania's body clock?A．Eating fewer meals.B．Having more hours of sleep.C．Lacking physical exercise.D．Getting no natural light.【3】Where does the text probably come from?A．A novel.B．A news story.C．A pet magazine.D．A travel guide.3.I was being interviewed by a senior manager for a major insurance（保险业）company. I told him honestly whyI wanted the job——I needed to keep my family in Boston. My wife recently died of a heart attack. A job in Boston would help me reduce some of the extreme trauma （精神创伤）and pain of the loss for my 16-year-old daughter. It was important for me to keep her in her high school. I could still hardly talk about the loss of my wife. Bruce, the interviewer, was politely empathetic, but he didn't probe any further. He admitted my loss and with great respect, moved on to another subject. After the next round of the interview, Bruce took me to lunch with another person. Then he asked me to take a walk with him. He told me that he, too, had lost his wife. And, like me, he had also been married 20 years and had three children.In his sharing, I realized that he had experienced the same pain as I had ——a pain that was almost impossible to explain to someone who had not lost a beloved one. He offered his business card and home phone number and suggested that, if I need help of just want someone to talk to, I should feel free to give him a call.Whether I got the job or not, he wanted me to know that he was there if I ever needed help. When he had no idea if we would ever see each other again, he helped our family deal with one of the greatest losses. He turnedthe normally cold business interview into a caring support for another person in need.【1】The underlined word “empathetic ”in the second paragraph means ____.A．善良的B．容易相处的C．聪明的D．同情的【2】Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage？A．Bruce invited the writer to lunch later.B．Bruce shared his life experience with the writer.C．Bruce was willing to help the writer.D．Bruce finally gave the job to the writer.【3】We can infer（推断） from the passage that ______.A．Bruce and the writer saw each other often.B．the writer got little help from Bruce.C．the writer learned much from the job interview.D．the writer had a better life afterwards.【4】What is the best title for the passage？A．An Act of Kindness B．A Pleasant InterviewC．The Same Experience D．An Important Lesson4.It's a goal for millions and millions of families every year to keep the Christmas spending within a certain amount of money, but you can still afford the gifts because your loved ones willenjoy them. This concern (忧虑) is becoming greater and greater theses days. Even so, there are several things that you can do to help.Hit the sales. No one wants to get up at four o'clock in the morning and fight to get a good deal (交易) on Black Friday (the first Friday at Christmas time). It's surely very difficult to pick up the courage and get out there in the cold for a good deal. But sometimes it can be well worth. Many retailers (零售商) offer specials all through the day. Some even offer online Black Friday specials, so we may still be able to get a great deal on Black Friday. Read advertisements regularly.Once the Christmas shopping season is coming, retailers will be hungry for business. They will try their best to get us into the store. Please read the weekly advertisements of sales among the major retailers from time to time. We may be lucky enough to find different prices for the same thing in different shops.Shop online. Some of us don't like running from store to store to get the best price on the perfect gift. Some of us don't like to go out in the cold at all, and then, we can do online shopping. The world of online shopping makes it possible for us to visit all the major retailers and some specialty stores (专卖店)on the Internet. We can find exactly what we are looking for at the best possible price without even having to leave the house. With traditional Christmas shopping, it will always take us a long time to wait if we want to get the perfect gift.【1】The underlined word “specials” in Paragraph 2 means .A．special gifts B．special and expensive thingsC．special price D．special things【2】We can have more choices to get a good deal .A．on the Internet B．in specialty storesC．from salesmen D．from retailers【3】In this passage the writer wants to .A．tell us to shop onlineB．tell us the best way to do shoppingC．show us how hard it is to do Christmas shoppingD．give us advice on how to get a good deal at Christmas time【4】From the passage we can infer (推断) that ______.A．people are surely able to get a good deal on FridayB．it is possible for people to buy the perfect Christmas gifts with less moneyC．retailers will be hungry because they are busy selling Christmas giftsD．with traditional Christmas shopping, people can't buy the perfect gifts四、单词拼写1.请根据括号中的中文提示、英文释义或句意，写出句中所缺单词，使句子通顺。

A study of 2,000 teenagers in the US showed that eating breakfast daily is helpful to young people.According to the study, teenagers who eat breakfast weigh around 5 pounds less than teenagers who do not. Although they take in more calories in the morning, they are more active during the day because they have more energy. This means they burn more calories than non-breakfast eaters. The breakfast does not even have to be very healthy, as eating anything is better than nothing.The study also showed that eating breakfast keeps teenagers feeling full for longer, so they will not eat too many snacks later in the day. This is good news as most popular snacks, like sweets and potato chips, are usually unhealthy and full of calories.Another big advantage of eating breakfast is that it helps teenagers do better at school. This is because it gives them more energy to keep their attention in class.What's more, a study in the UK showed that adults who eat breakfast daily put on less weight and also perform better at work.Whatever your age is, take time to have breakfast every day.【1】Having breakfast daily makes the teenagers _________.A．eat fewer snacks B．put on more weightC．relax themselves D．burn less calories【2】The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means that _________.A．teenagers should eat something for breakfastB．breakfast helps teenagers do better at schoolC．breakfast must be healthy with lots of caloriesD．the energy makes teenagers active the whole day【3】We can probably read this passage in a (an) _________.A．story book B．health magazine C．movie poster D．instruction book2.I grew up in New Hampshire, a small town in South Canada, where in my father’s words for the seasons were “Spring, Summer, Fairtime and Winter!” At that time, a week-long fair was held in the town every autumn. Thousands of people from other towns came to sell and buy things. It was the busiest time of the year.When “Fairtime” came, my grandma became the most “useful” and busiest person of the family. Grandma was a kind, well-educated old lady. She was good at cooking. All her relatives liked the food she cooked. During “fairtime”, they would come to live in her house and have meals there. Grandma was always happy to look after them.Year after year, many people moved to big cities. There was no loner “Fairtime”. Grandma became very old and was gradually going blind. My parents and I moved to live with Granma in her house. We did our best to make her day-to-day life as comfortable as possible. I was at high school then. What I often did at home was to help Grandma with the daily newspaper’s crossword puzzle.However, she didn’t look happy. She often sat in her room for hours, without saying a word.To attract people to move back, the Town Hall decided to reopen the Fair. One day, when I came back room school, I saw Grandma wearing her glasses, washing the dishes in the kitchen. With a big smile on her face, she looked a lot much younger. She told me that her two nieces would come. “They said the food I cooked was very delicious and they want to stay in my house again.” Grandma said happily. “They will stay her e for one week and we can have a big party. That must be the busiest week I’ve had in years!”I suddenly realized that Grandma didn’t want to be looked after. She wanted to be “useful”, appreciated and helpful.【1】Thousands of people came to the town to __________ at the Fair.A．enjoy Grandma’s food B．sell and buy thingsC．learn to cook D．have a big party【2】Why was Grandma unhappy?A．She was too busy.B．No one lived with her.C．She was not “useful”.D．She couldn’t see anything【3】Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A．Grandma was good at cookingB．Many people moved to big cities.C．Grandma didn’t like “Fairtime”D．Grandma was a kind old lady.3.One of the most famous movie prizes in the world is the Oscar. Every year in the United States, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science (电影艺术科学院) gives Oscars to people who have done well in the movies. There is an Oscar for the best movie of the year, another for the best actor, and Oscarsfor doing many other things well in movies.Oscars are very important because people want to see movies that have won them. They also want to see actors who have won Oscars. This means movies that have won Oscars make a lot of money. The Academy first gave prizes to movies in 1927, but they were not called Oscars then. That happened four years later. Most people think that Oscar was someone famous in the movies, but he wasn't. He wassomeone that a woman called Margaret Herrick knew. She worked for the Academy and one day she saw the prize on a table. She said, "He looked like my friend Oscar." From that time on the prizes were called the Oscars. 【1】The Academy gives prizes to people who ________.A．are good friends of Margaret HerrickB．like seeing movies very muchC．have done well in the moviesD．pay the Academy a lot of money【2】The Oscars got their name in _________.A．1923B．1927C．1928D．19314.In classroom, your teachers will talk about topics that you are studying.

Do this by writing abbreviations (缩写) such as med for medicine, using symbols such as % for percent, and writing short sentences.3.
