13、Although I didn’t have any interest in being a school bus driver, I became one. Many years later, I was still working on the school bus. There are so many good reasons. Firstly, the talk brought me different kinds of information. I also got to hear all the family secrets of the newcomers. I have a toy bear who was a great comforter(安慰者) for the little ones. The kids got to look after him on the trip to school and he waited patiently forthemto get on for the trip home.
Our bus would often pass a place where we could see some alpacas (羊驼) in front of a farm house. Little Michael would cry excitedly from the seat, “Look, Miss! Look at the camels!” He used to put his head out of the bus wind ow. When I warned him that a little insect would come into his nose if he wasn’t careful, he smartly gave up the habit.
I remember a little girl got on the bus one morning 5 years ago and sobbed(抽泣) all the way to school. We arrived at the school gate. As she waited to get down the bus, she threw her arms around my neck and cried that her grandfather had died the night before.
A school bus driver needs to keep one eye on the road and the other on the mirror to watch what the little ones are doing down the back.
Now, it’s important to think how many lives I’ve been responsible(负责的) for, and how many kilometers I’ve driven in order to get my passengers home safely during the 20 years. I’ve enjoyed it, but it’s time to rest and park my school bus. 1．When did the writer begin to be a school bus driver?
A．5 years ago. B．10 years ago. C．20 years ago. D．30 years ago. 2．What does the underlined word “them” in the first paragraph refer to (所指)? A．toy bears B．kids C．school buses D．secrets

4．The writer didn’t give up her job because.
A．driving was her hobby

5．What may the writer’s future plan be?

15、Evolution (进化) has changed our bodies and faces over thousands of years, and it’s still happening. Here’s how experts predict (预测) what people will be like in 1,000 years.
We’ll be about 1.83~2.13 metres tall because of improved nutrition (营养) and medical science. Our arms and fingers will get longer to reduce the need to reach too far.
We’ll have smaller brains, maybe because computers will help us memorize and think most of the things.
There will be larger eyes and smaller mouths. And there may be fewer teeth as softer food needs less chewing and biting. We could even get our nutrition from liquids or pills in the future.
We can expect other great changes too. Everyone will have the same shape of noses. That’s because climate will have less influence on noses with the help of air conditioning and central heating. Besides, we will have more wrinkles (皱纹) as a result of looking at our electronic devices.
We also may end up with saggy (松弛的) necks because extra sun will cause loose skin. And there will be darker skin as people move around the planet and races (种族) mix.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。

1．Why will people become taller in 1,000 years?

16、Thousands of years ago, people didn’t know that the Earth moved. They thought the sun really did move across the sky. The Greek god Helios was said to drive the sun across the sky with his chariot (战车). But now, the way people think has changed. Nowadays, it is the sun that drives a “chariot” around the sky.
What do I mean by this? Well, quite simply, there is now a plane (or “chariot”) that is powered by t he sun. It has special parts on its wings. These parts absorb (吸收) power from the sun. They absorb so much power that the plane can still fly
even at night. In Greek mythology (神话), Helios had to take a break at night. It seems we’re finally even more powe rful than the gods themselves.
This plane is called Solar Impulse. It will fly across the US in May. This is very important for the future of the world. Why is solar energy (太阳能) important? Well, other kinds of energy are known to cause problems. If you live in China, you’ve probably noticed the pollution. This is caused by burning coal and gas to make energy. The heat and chemicals created by burning these things give us power. But if we use power from the sun, we don’t have to burn anything and there will not be any pollution.
Solar energy is not entirely ready yet. It needs to be improved. But the best thing about it is that, unlike coal and gas, it doesn’t run out. The Solar Impulse plane could pretty much keep flying forever. Of course, the sun’s light will eventually run out too one day, but not for another 5 billion years. That’s a pretty long flight.
1．The plane Solar Impulse ______.
A．cannot fly at night B．is powered by chemicals
C．is driven by solar energy D．was made in the US
2．Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that ______.
A．using solar energy causes less pollution
B．solar energy is the best kind of energy
C．creating energy by burning things causes pollution
D．burning things will not be allowed in China
3．Which is the story probably taken from?
A．A science magazine. B．A history textbook.
C．A Greek myth. D．A storybook.
4．What’s the story mainly about?
A．The story of the Greek god Helios.
B．How China makes use of energy.
C．The uses and advantages of solar energy.
D．The disadvantages of burning coal and gas.

China’s new hot word,tuhao, may be in next year’s Oxford English Dictionary.
In Chinese,tumeans rude andhaomeans rich. In recent years, people use this term to describe those who spend money in an unreasonable way. The word became more popular with the newest Apple’s gold-colored iPhone, which is loved by China’s rich people. The color became known as “tuhaogold”. The word is now often used to refer to people who have the cash but lack taste.
There are two other Chinese hot words:damaandNoZuoNoDie, which may also be taken in the dictionary.Dama, meaning middle-aged women, was first used in the Western media by theWall Street Journal. Thousands of Chinese women were buying a large amount of gold when the gold price had gone down. Another phraseNoZuoNoDiemeans if you don’t do stupid things, they won’t come back to bite you, is also very popular. Other words, such
asMaotai,Chinglishand "dimsum" have also been included in the dictionary.
“Words likedamaandtuhaoare so vivid. My friends and I use them a lot—it’s so much fun,” said an American student who studies in Beijing.
BBC World News recently made a special program called “Tuhao,let’s be friends!” “The frequent use of Chinglish by foreign media suggests that foreign people are looking more to the lifest yle and popular culture of China,” says Zhang Yiwu, professor of Peking University.
What does this trend suggest about the Chinese language's influence?
Xing Hongbing, professor from Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU) said “These show that Chin glish is now being accepted by the rest of the world and they play important roles in daily life of Chinese. Behind these Chinglish words and phrases is the Chinese culture. They are reflections of the changes and trends in the Chinese society and they hel p people from other countries to understand what's happening in China.”
1．__________can be called “tuhao” according to the passage.
A．The rich who like iPhone made of gold
B．The people who bought a lot of gold
C．People who can be friends
D．The rich people who lack taste
2．Which of the following word is NOT Chinglish hot word?
A．dama B．karaoke C．tuhao D．dimsum
3．Why does the word “Dama” become so popular now?
A．They bought gold crazily when the gold price were down.
B．They are wealthy middle-aged women.
C．They made the gold prices up.
D．They worked on the Wall Street.
4．According to the passage, Xing Hongbing agreed that______. A．Chinglish hot words tell some funny things about China.
B．Chinglish plays important roles in daily life of Chinese.
C．Chinglish hot words are so vivid that people like using them a lot. D．foreigners want to know more about the culture of China from Chinglish. 5．What is the purpose of writing this article__________.

19、Dear Alice,
Looking back on the past three years, I'd like to say thanks to you for helping me with my English.
When I was in Grade 7, I was not good at English. I just hid behind my text book and never said anything in class.
Once I did very badly in an English test, and I lost heart. However, you had a patient talk with me and encouraged me to be more active in class.
Since then, I have worked harder and made great progress. I feel lucky to be your student.
Thank you again. Wish you goal luck.
Yours,
Li Hua

Possible version 2:
Dear Alan,
Looking back on the past three years, I'd like to say sorry to you for arguing with you.
When we were in Grade 8, we lost the chance to get the first prize in the football match. I never stopped complaining to you that it was you who missed the goal. But you shouted back that you were not the only reason. You walked off angrily. From then on, we didn't talk to each other.
I have been regretting doing so. Soon we will graduate from our school. Let's forget about the past and become good friends again.
Yours,
Li Hua。
