Every time I am on the computer. she is always online，listening to music or decorating her“personal space”. I like visiting her space. It’s creative(有创造力的)and modern. I can’t design such a colorful web page as hers.When I read the sentences she sent to me，I noticed that the Chinese characters had been changed，but I could still guess their meanings.

city to work in Limehouse，east London．As time went on，other Chinese people came to this area and Limehouse began to be known as‘Chinatown’．However，London’Chinese community，remained very small for many years；at the start of the 20th century，there were just 545 Chinese people in Britain．After the Second World War，many farmers in Hong Kong lost their jobs and came to London．As Limehouse had been almost destroyed during the war，they settled(定居)in adifferent area—a part of central London near Leicester Square．This area is now what Londoners call Chinatown．At first，the new immigrants(移民)found it difficult to get jobs．In the 1950s，however，a small Chinese restaurant opened in London．Many British people visited it and said that Chinese food was wonderful! Suddenly，Chinese restaurants and take-aways started opening in every part of the city．Instead of too little work，the new Chinese immigrants now found that they had too much! They worked as cooks，managers or waiters．Most of them enjoyed their lives and arranged their friends and relatives to join them from overseas．As time went by，London’s Chinese community became more and more successful．The sons and daughters of the original restaurant workers studied and worked very hard．And most went on to get highly paid jobs．Many Chinese families left Chinatown and moved to more expensive outskirts．Chinatown，however，is still as lively as ever．( )11．When did the first Chinese immigrants come to London?A．In the 1950s．B．More than 200 years ago．C．After the Second World War．D．At the start of the 20th century．( )12．Why did many Chinese immigrants come to London in the 1950s?A．Because it was easy for them to get jobs there．B．Because Limehouse had been almost destroyed during the war．C．Because many British people enjoyed Chinese food．D．Because their children could study there and get highly paid jobs．( )13．In the 1950s，Chinese immigrants came to London and worked as_______．A．sailors B．farmersC．sailors and farmers D．restaurant workers( )14．Where is London’s Chinatown now?A．In the east of London．B．In Limehouse．C．Not far from Leicester Square．D．Outside the city．( )15．According to this passage，if people live in the outskirts of a city，they live________．A．in the village B．far away from the cityC．in the centre of the city D．in the outer areas of the city四、任务型阅读．(每小题2分，共10分)Waste can be seen everywhere in the school．Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom．They say they can afford these things．But I don’t agree with them．Waste can bring a lot of problems．Although China is rich in some resources(资源)，we are short of others，for example，fresh water．It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in100 years．So if we go on wasting our resources，what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it．(3)I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day．Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible．In our everyday life，we can do many things to prevent waste from happening，for example，turn off the water taps when we finish washing，turn off the lights when we leave the classroom，try not to order more food than we need，and so on．Little by little，everything will be changed．(4)Waste can be stopped one day if we do our best．任务一：根据要求答题．1．List the wastes mentioned in the first paragraph．(within 15 words)____________________________________________________________________ 2．What problems can waste bring?(within 20 words)(1)____________________________________________________________________(2) ____________________________________________________________________任务二：将短文中画线的句子翻译成汉语．3．____________________________________________________________________4．____________________________________________________________________任务三：请给短文拟一个适当的标题．(within 5 words)5．____________________________________________________________________五、词汇．(共18分)A．根据句意及所给首字母或汉语提示，完成下列句子．(每小题1分，共5分)1．It’s our duty to keep our e clean．2．The Chinese provided all foreign players with the best s during the 2008 Olympic Games．3．That’s only a m plane．It’s not real．4．It’s bad for your health to eat________(不健康的)food．5．The Dongs moved to another flat after he got________(结婚)．B．用所给单词的适当形式填空．(每小题1分，共5分)1．Your cousin_______(not come)here yet．2．Kitty_________(learn)English since she came to England．3．It’s__________(luck)for you to miss such an exciting football match．4．—Come and have some meat．—Thanks．I_______ just________(have)my lunch．5．Most people think life is_________(good)now than before．C．句型转换，每空一词．(每空1分，共8分)1．Jill has already finished his homework．(改为一般疑问句)_________Jill finished his homework_________?2．The problem is difficult for me to work out．(同义句转换)It is difficult for me_________ __________out the problem．3．They have married．(用for two years改写句子)They_________ _________married for two years．4．We have known each other for a long time．(对画线部分提问)__________ __________have you known each other?六、根据所给提示完成下列句子．(每小题2分，共10分)1．到目前为止你看了多少部英语电影了?_____________________________________so far?2．对我们来说，做好每一件事是很有必要的．It’s very necessary______________________________．3．我们还没有玩过这种游戏．We____________________________________ yet．4．这是我见过的最漂亮的画．It’s the most beautiful picture I_____________________________．5．当我上小学的时候，我爸爸天天开车送我上学．When I was at primary school，my father______________________．七、根据短文内容和首字母提示填入适当的单词使短文完整．(每4、题1分，共12分)Millions of words have been w 1 about young people in the USA．There are reasons for this great i 2 in their ideas，feelings and actions．Today there are about seven million Americans in colleges and universities．Young persons u 3 twenty-five make up nearly half of the American p 4 ．Many of these will soon be in charge of(负责管理)the nation．Naturally their ideas are i 5 to everyone in the country，and it is necessary for older people to understand what they t 6 and feel．College students today have strong o 7 about right and wrong．They are deeply interested in m 8 ．a better life for all people，e 9 for those who have not been givena f 10 chance before now．They see much that is wrong in the lives of their parents．It is h11 for them to see what is right and good in the older ways．As a result，there is often t 12 in American families．1．________ 2．_________ 3．________ 4．________ 5．_________6．________ 7．_________ 8．________ 9．________ 10．________ 11．_________ 12．_________ 八、书面表达．(共11分)陈先生是南京人，请你以校报记者的身份对陈节生进行采访．以下是你采访的结果，请根据以下结果写一篇关于陈先生的报道．陈先生自出生就住在南京，现在的南京变化了许多．过去这里空气清新，树木很多，现在这里建造了新的机场．过去人们只能乘公交车，但现在会有很多选择，你可以乘干净漂亮的公交车，也可以乘坐地铁、出租车等．这些变化给南京带来了很多的经济效益，陈先生看到这些变化非常高兴．参考答案一、1～5．ABDAD 6～9．ACDA二、1～5．CBDAB 6～10．DABCD三、1～5．ADBCD 6～10．CCABD 11～15．BAIRD四、1．Ask for more food，forget to turn off the lights．2．(1)We’ll be short of resources．(2)We’ll have nothing to use and nowhere to move．3．我认为我们应该对那些天天浪费东西的学生说不．4．如果我们都尽力的话，将来有一天浪费就不会发生了．5．Stop wasting／No more wasting五、A．1．environment 2．service 3．model 4．unhealthy 5．marriedB．1．hasn’t come 2．has learnt／has learned 3．unlucky 4．have；had 5．better C．1．Has；yet 2．to work 3．have been 4．How long六、1．How many English films have you watched 2．for us to do everything well 3．haven’t played this game 4．have ever seen 5．drove me to school every day七、1．written 2．interest 3．under 4．population 5．important 6．think 7．opinions 8．making 9．especially 10．fair 11．hard 12．trouble八、One possible version：Mr Chen has lived in Nanjing since he was born．He finds that Nanjing has changed a lot over the past years．There used to be fresh air and a lot of trees，but now they have built a new airport．In the past，people could only take the bus，but now you have many choices．You can take the bus，it is clean and beautiful．You can also take the subway，taxi and so on．These changes have brought a lot of advantages to Nanjing．Mr Chen is very pleased to see the changes．。

But he still thought it was too much work, so he only told hisfriends what to do and how to get money from others.One day Jim sent one of his friends into a very large and beautiful house. He told him to steal some money from that rich (富有的) family.It was evening, and when the man looked through one of the windows, he saw a young man and a girl in the room. They were playing duet(二重奏) on a piano. The thief left the house.When he got back, Jim asked him what he got. But he said, "I didn't take anything. That family can't have much money.

Why does some land have so many plants growing on it, while other land has almost no plants growing on at all?To grow, plants need some things. One is warmth. In very cold places, almost nothing grows, Plants also need water. In very dry parts of the Earth, only a few unusual plants can grow. That's why dry deserts(沙漠）almost don't have trees or grass.Plants must also have a place in which to put down their roots（根）and grow. They find it difficult to grow on hard land. The town is on hard land. The plants here can only grow in the soil（土壤）between the cracks of the stones.Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food.What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy（有沙的）beach? A few plants, such as beach grass, will grow in sand, but most plants won't. Even if（即使）the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each day, many of them will die because the sand on this beach has almost no food for plants.( )6.

Some dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize. Some can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.Once you have a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream come true?Follow Your Heart by the Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams come true is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream, the book says.In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yo urself what you want. Then, do what you need to do step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact, many small dreams. You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dream. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.26.Follow Your Heart is .A. the biggest challenge for teenagersB. the most important dream for teenagersC. the name of a book by Andrew MatthewsD. the name of an Australian film27.If you want to make your dream come true, first you should .A. remember what your dream isB. think about all the problemsC. read the book Follow Your HeartD. have many small dreams28.From the article, we know the underlined word “challenge” means “ ” in Chinese.A.变化B.挑战C.决定D.态度29.When you are on the road to your dream, you must know .A. your dream can’t be too bigB. your dream can’t be too sma llC. what is the most important thing to doD. you can change your dream30.What’s the best title for the article?A. How to realize your dreamB. How to find your real dreamC. Never stop dreamingD. Teenagers have many dreamsBNow, ladies and gentleman, please look to your left. This is the Century Hotel. It is one of Shenzhen’s most famous hotels because of the wonderful restaurant at the top of it.Over the past thirty years, the biggest change in Shenzhen has been the increasing height of the city’s buildings. Before 1980, Shenzhen was only a small village with no skyscrapers. Now Shenzhen has many tall buildings.Look, there’s the new train station. Before 1980, the people of Shenzhen could only take the buse or the train if they wanted to leave the city. Now they can fly from the city’s airport. The train station is much bigger now and there are many more buses to take people to every part of the city. Of course, other changes have also taken place in the city. There are more parks, museums and places for people to enjoy sports, music and art. The city government has built more roads. In Shenzhen, most people have stopped riding bicycles. Many people have bought cars or motorcycles(摩托车). The traffic has been very heavy today, so please be careful when you cross the road.Thirty years ago, there were only hundreds of thousands of people living in Shenzhen. The city has grown and now there are over four million people living here with more people coming every year. More shops have been opened.

Then suddenly the sky is all pink(淡红色的) and red and gold(金色的) even a little green.The earth has turned until the sun is shining on the place where you are.

When the sun is shining on the other side of the world, it is night where you are.

Over 20million years ago, the Baiji River Dolphin left the sea, swam up the Changjiang River and has lived there ever since. It has smaller eyes than other kinds of dolphins because the Changjiang River has many small piece of earth in it. The small size helps to protect its eyes. However, because it has such small eyes, it can not use its eyes to find food. Instead, this kind of dolphin uses sound waves (声波) to find food. This makes it so unusual.About 2200 years ago, there were thousands of dolphins in the Changjiang River, but today, not many people can see the dolphins. Their population（人口）has gone from 150. Scientists say that the dolphin population has gone down because the population of people on the Chnagjiang River has gone up. They also say that the new dam (大坝) on the river is also making the dolphin die because it doesn’t have food to eat.Sc ientists have tried different things to save this “panda in the water,” but nothing has helped.

Most of them lived on fishing. Things have greatly changed since the 1980s. It became the first special economic zone(经济特区) in China.Because of the opening policy(政策), economic changes between China and the outside world have increased greatly.

Since then, Barbie doll, as everyone called her, has become the most successful toy doll in history. Her parent, the Mattel Company, said that 90% of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least one Barbie at home.However, Barbie is facing some trouble at present. There are many simple dolls on the market in competition with her. Another doll named Bratz, for example, came to life thirteen years ago. She looks more like today's pop stars with heavy makeup(浓妆) and miniskirts. And her company offers more kinds of clothes too.It seems that Barbie has lost her magic among older girls. "For younger girls, playing with a Barbie is much fun. But when you get older, you want something smarter and more modern." says Vera Stepherd, a shop assistant in a New York toy store.It is good news that on the international market, Barbie is still No.1.Although Mattel is selling fewer Barbies in the United States these years, sales in other countries are still going up.
