them float through the air，and some lie hidden in the ground．They do not need sunlight to survive，and if the weather becomes too cold，they can become inactive until conditions improve．What are these？They are called fungi（菌类），and you see them almost every day．Many kinds of fungi seem disgusting，such as the green black things that appear on the food which are left too long in the refrigerator．But other kinds are not so bad．For example，the yeast that is used to make bread and mushrooms （蘑菇）are both fungi．What makes fungi different from plants and animals？An animal can move around by itself．Fungi get around too，but they don't have feet，wings，or tails．They have to wait for wind or some other outside force to move them．Plants are different from fungi because they have chlorophyll（叶绿素）．It helps them make food from the energy in sunlight．Fungi do not have chlorophyll．Some fungi are bad，while others are not．Some fungi cause diseases，such as athlete's foot，which makes feet uncomfortable．Other kinds of fungi can be used to make medicies，which have saved many lives．Fungi clean up more than wounds，though．They are the world's first recyclers．Without fungi，our world would be a mess．Since fungi cannot make their own food as plants do，they must get their food elsewhere．Many fungi get their food from dead plants．They break them down and turn them into soil．The fungi get a meal，and the world gets a housecleaning．23．What does the underlined word"disgusting"most probably mean？A．strongB．unpleasantC．activeD．small24．According to the passage，．A．fungi can move everywhere by themselvesB．fungi are unable to survive in cold conditionsC．some fungi can make food from the energy in sunlight．D．some fungi are useful to humans and the environment25．Where can you most probably find this passage？A．In a social report．B．In a biology book．C．In ageography magazine．D．In a farming book．26．（6分）When was the last time you saw three men running down a forest trail（小径）in the rain wearing flipflops（拖鞋）？That's what my friend Brandon，Josh and I were doing last autumn．We were looking for a waterfall（瀑布）．We didn't have much time to get to the waterfall and back，so we were running．We were wearing flip﹣flops to prevent our shoes getting dirty．It was raining，but lightly．It kept us cool as we climbed over giant stones and through a shallow（浅的）stream．We followed red arrows（箭头）and crossed that stream several times，walking on toward the promised waterfall．Time was not on our side，howevr，and we were forced to turn around．As we started back，we looked at the shallow stream we had just crossed．Where did this rushing river come from？That was when we realized a flash flood was around!In the few minutes the water rose at a fast speed．Now there were no big stones tobe seen﹣only what looked like lumps（隆起）covered with rushing water．We had no choice but to move our way back carefully in the rushing water﹣in flip﹣flops．We had crossed the stream not once or twice，but six times in search of a waterfall that we never even reached!With most of the crossings，we needed each other's help if we didn't want to be washed away by water．Wet all over，we felt relaxed after we made the last crossing．"My dad always told me to keep off a river when travelling in the rain．"Josh said as we hurried back down the path．"Why didn't you tell us that earlier？"I laughed．"Would it have made a difference？"came the reply．He had a point．26．Why were there no big stones to be seen in the stream when they came back？A．The big stones were moved away by someone else．B．They were runningtoo fast to notice the big stones．C．The big stones were covered with rushing water．D．The big stones were washed away by rushing water．27．Why didn't they find the waterfall in the end？A．Because they were short of time．B．Because they were wearing flip﹣flops．C．Because Josh kept warning thm not to go any further．D．Because the flood prevented them from going forward．28．We can infer（推断）from the passage that the writer and his friends．A．were crazy about outdoor activitiesB．made full preparations before the tripC．crossed rushing water easily in the endD．had much experience in travelling in the rain．29．（6分）While it is common for restaurant owners to connect with their customers，a restaurant owner in the U．S．is taking it to a whole new level．Tim Harries gives out free hugs（拥抱）to every customer at the end of each meal．The atmosphere （气氛）at his restaurant"Tim's Place"is so positive（积极的）that customers often call it the"World's friendliest restaurant"．．"Tim's Hug"is in fact an item on the menu described as a"love"treat．Tim's hugs are doubly special because of everything he has achieved．The 26一year﹣old is probably the only Down syndrome sufferer（唐氏综合症患者）in the U．S．to own a restaurant，but he has several other things to be proud of﹣﹣he's a skillful special Olympian，an excellent sailor，and all experienced fisherman．He was also chosen as Homecoming King and Student of the Year in high school!So when a man like Tim hugs you，it is sure to be a special and unforgettable experienceWhen Tim expressed interest in opening a restaurant，Keith，a small businessman himself，supported him．Tim hired other people to manage the place and do the cooking，and he introducedthe idea of free hugs．He realized that people want to feel at home at a restaurant．That is why he included"love"as all ite on the menu．Customers can order the free hug from Tim，and even if they don't，he'll probably hug them anyway．The restaurant has been around sinc 2010，and Tim has given out over 19，000hugs in the past five years﹣﹣he keeps count using a special Hug Counter．Many customers love visiting"Tim's Place"．"I've been coming here once a week．"said Michelle Garth﹣Jones，a regular customer．"I love local restaurants，and this specil one has a story that stays with you．"29．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A．Customers prefer to feel relaxed at a restaurant．B．Unless you order Tim's Hug，he will not hug you．C．As soon as you enter Tim's Place，you will get a warm hug．D．Michelle Garth﹣Jones loves listening to the story in the restaurant．30．Which of the following words can best describe Time Harris？A．HumorousB．CreativeC．SeriousD．Curious31．What may be the best title for this passage？A．Tim's AchievementsB．A Special ExperienceC．A Down Syndrome SuffererD．The World's Friendliest Restaurant．32．（8分）Many expressions that we use in American English come from novels．Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carroll's famous novel"Alice in Wonderlan"in detail．The story is about a young girl fallin down a rabbit hole．When she finally lands，she finds herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters．The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit，who runs past her and says some strange words．Alice chases（追赶）him，and that is where her adventures begin．In English，chasing a white rabbit means chasing an impossible clue and finding yourself in a misleading situation．Then，as she runs after the rabbit，she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland．To fall down the rabbit hole can mean to enter a confusing（令人困惑的）situation．However，usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in something to the point of distraction （分神）．It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful．Later in the story，Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy tea party．Hares（野兔）have long been thought to behave excitedly in March，which is their mating（交配）season．Scientifically，this may not be true．But to be mad as a March Hare means that someone is completely mad，or crazy．The expression mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy．Of the two，mad as a Hatter is more common．But don't tell the March Hare．Who knows how he will react（反应）！Near the end of the story，Alice meets the Queen of Hearts．A woman who is called a Queen of Hearts likes controlling others and always tries to control everything and everyone around her．32．Which of the following situations best fits the expressions to fall down a rabbit hole？A．When Tom was taking a walk in the forest，he suddenly fell over onto the ground．B．When Mary turned on the TV，she chose to watch the talk show programme as usual．C．When Jim was looking for a sport book online，he lost himself in many report on surperstars．D．When Lily was thinking about how to solve a math problem，she came up with a good idea．33．According to the passage，the expression to be mad as a March Hare．A．describes how hares behave in MarchB．shows hares'characteristics in a scientific wayC．is used more often than the expression mad as a Hatter．D．has the same meaning as the expression mad as a Hatter34．Which character in"Alice in Wonderland"wants others to obey his or her orders in every situation？A．AliceB．The March HareC．The HatterD．The Queen of Hearts．35．The writer mainly wants to in the passage．A．introduce a famous novel and its language styleB．introduce a famous writer Lewis Carroll and his novelsC．explore some English expressions from a famous nvelD．explain why many expressions in English come from novels．四、阅读表达（共5小题：每小题5分，满分9分）阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格里只填一个单词．36．（5分）The Internet nowadays opens a wide world to people，including teenagers，but many parents worry that their children may meet with something unhealthy when searching online．In order to solve this problem，a new search engine for children called Kiddle has appeared．Search results are

Google，most results appear along with large thumbnail pictures（缩略图）to make it easier for children to find what they are looking for．For example，when searching for"meow meow"．Google produces pages for information about a drug（毒品）that has"meow meow"as its nickname（绰号），but Kiddle lists information only about cats，even with some cartoon pictures．The company explained，"Websites which appear in Kiddle

animal，right？Wrong!Many organisms（有机体）in our world are neither．Some of them float through the air，and some lie hidden in the ground．They do not need sunlight to survive，and if the weather becomes too cold，they can become inactive until conditions improve．What are these？They are called fungi（菌类），and you see them almost every day．Many kinds of fungi seem disgusting，such as the green black things that appear on the food which are left too long in the refrigerator．But other kinds are not so bad．For example，the yeast that is used to make bread and mushrooms （蘑菇）are both fungi．What makes fungi different from plants and animals？An animal can move around by itself．Fungi get around too，but they don't have feet，wings，or tails．They have to wait for wind or some other outside force to move them．Plants are different from fungi because they have chlorophyll（叶绿素）．It helps them make food from the energy in sunlight．Fungi do not have chlorophyll．Some fungi are bad，while others are not．Some fungi cause diseases，such as athlete's foot，which makes feet uncomfortable．Other kinds of fungi can be used to make medicies，which have saved many lives．Fungi clean up more than wounds，though．They are the world's first recyclers．Without fungi，our world would be a mess．Since fungi cannot make their own food as plants do，they must get their food elsewhere．Many fungi get their food from dead plants．They break them down and turnthem into soil．The fungi get a meal，and the world gets a housecleaning．23．What does the underlined word"disgusting"most probably mean？BA．strongB．unpleasantC．activeD．small24．According to the passage，D．A．fungi can move everywhere by themselvesB．fungi are unable to survive in cold conditionsC．some fungi can make food from the energy in sunlight．D．some fungi are useful to humans and the environment25．Where can you most probably find this passage？BA．In a social report．B．In a biology book．C．In ageography magazine．D．In a farming book．【考点】O9：日常生活类阅读．【分析】本文是介绍菌类，很多菌类看起来让人很不舒服，例如食物变质后的菌类，会引起疾病，还有一些是有益的，例如用来制作面包和蘑菇的酵母，还可以制药，菌类和植物和动物不同，菌类需要靠外力去移动．【解答】23．B．词义理解题．结合后文such as the green black things that appear on the food which are left too long in the refrigerator可知这种菌类让人感觉不舒服，故选B．24．D．推理题．根据第四段Other kinds of fungi can be used to make medicies，which have saved many lives．可知有些菌类对身体有益，结合最后Fungi clean up more than wounds，though．They are the world's first recyclers．Without fungi，our world would be a mess．Since fungi cannot make their own food as plants do，they must get their food elsewhere．Many fungi get their food from dead plants．They break them down and turn them into soil．The fungi get a meal，and the world gets a housecleaning．可知对环境有益，故选D．25．B．推理题，本文是介绍菌类，有益菌对人类和环境的用处，故推知这是来自于一本生物书，故选B．【点评】本题中个别小题不能直接从文中找到答案，需要自己根据相关内容分析总结．一定要。

Facebook （脸谱网） friends cannot replace the real thing, say psychologists （心理学家）．People are happier and laugh 50% more when they talk face to face with friends or via web camera than when they use social networking sites, a study has found．Dr． Roberts, a famous lecture at the University of Chester, said such websites don't appear to help make true friendships． Based on two questionnaires（调查表）, he found there was no link between Facebook use and people with larger groups of friends．Dr． Roberts, whose work will be presented at the British Psychological Society conference in Harrogate , said, "The bottom line conclusion is that our relationships are not dependent on the quantity of communication． They depend on quality, and even Skype（网络电话） is better at increasing the quality of our communication than time spend on Facebook．" Even talking on the phone or texting , does not make people feel as good as sharing a smile, the research says． The studies suggest quality, not quantity, of communication is the most important for keeping friends for life．People find the most satisfying relationships come from a small number of closefriends, with an outer "ring" of 10significant others． With these people, it doesn't matter what type of social media （媒介） you use for communication． But people who want to "contact the world at large" using Facebook can be disappointed because________, claim researchers．In a third study, Dr． Roberts asked people to communicate with friends face to face or via Skype and keep a 14﹣day diary． This was compared with communicating via phone, text messages or social networking sites． People communicating face to face on Skype were 50% more likely （有可能的） to laugh, and they rated themselves as significantly happier．（1）What is the idea of the fourth paragraph？________A Most people contact each other online．B Keeping a friend for life is noteasy． C The quality of communication is important． D Skype is better at understanding us than Facebook．（2）What does the underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph probably suggest （暗示）？________A They are too excited to express themselves．B They limit their social circle to a small range．C They spread their information at a low speed．D They have no information to introduce themselves．（3）Which of the following is TURE according to the passage？________A People communicating online are more likely to be happy．B Strangers are morelikely to talk on Facebook or through Skype． C Talking with your close friends is always exactly satisfying． D People like to share their personal information on Skype．15. It was a freezing day when I found a wallet in the street, in which there was only three dollars and a crumpled（皱的） letter． To find some clues so that I could give it back, I opened the letter． Then I saw the date ﹣﹣﹣ 1924． The letter had been written 60years before．It was a letter written to Michael by Hannah, noting that she could not see him any more because her mother was against it．There was no way, except for the name, Michael, that the owner could be identified（认清）． So I called Information, hoping to find a phone listing for the address on the envelope （信封）． After many setbacks, I finally got the name of a nursing home where Hannah was living．This whole thing was stupid, I thought to myself． Anyway, I finally stood in front of Hannah who was a kind old woman with a warm smile on her face． The second she saw the envelope, she took a deep breath and said, "Michael! That was to Michael!""I loved him very much． But I was only 16at that time and my mother felt I was too young． Michael Goldstein was a wonderful person, you know．" She stopped for a moment, "I never did marry．I think of him often …"I thanked Hannah and said goodbye． As I stood by the door, the guard there asked if the old lady had been able to help me． I told him Hannah had given me a lead． "But I think I'll let it go for a while． I don't know where the owner is．" I then took out the wallet． When the guard saw it, he said, "Hey, wait! That's Mr． Goldstein's wallet!""Mr． Goldstein? ""He lives on the 8th floor here． That's Michael Goldstein's wallet for sure． He must have lost it on one of his walks．" I ran quickly back to the nurse's office．The nurse guided me to Mr． Goldstein． She asked if he had lost hiswallet． Mr． Goldstein looked up with surprise, put his hand in his back pocket, and said, "Oh, it's missing!"I handed Mr． Goldstein the wallet and said, "I read the letter in the hope of finding out who owned the wallet． I think I know where Hannah is．"He suddenly grew pale． "Hannah? You know where she is? How is she? Please, please tell me．""She's fine …" I said softly．The old man smiled and asked, "Could you tell me where she is? " He grabbed my hand and said, "You know something, Mister? I was so in love with that girl that when that letter came, my heart broke． I never married． I guess I've always loved her．""Mr． Goldstein, " I said, "come with me．"We went to the third floor, where Hannah was sitting alone, watching television． The nurse walked over to her． "Hannah, " she said softly, pointing to Michael． "Do you know this man? "She adjusted（调整） her glasses, looked for a moment, but didn't say a word． Michael said softly, "Hannah, it's Michael． Do you remember me? "She cried, "Michael! I don't b elieve it…" He walked slowly towards her and they embraced （拥抱）．About three weeks later, I got a call． "Can you come on Sunday to attend a wedding? …"It was a beautiful wedding． If you ever wanted to see a newly﹣married couple acting like two teenagers, you had to see this couple．（1）How did the writer find the wallet's owner， Michael？________A He got Michael's address from the worn envelope．B He called Information and got Michael's phone number．C Hannah gave him the exact address where Michael lived．D The guard identified Michael's wallet and gave him information．（2）．What can we learn from the passage？________①The letter was written in 1924．②The letter was written to Hannah by Michael．③The letter was put in th e wallet by Michael．④The letter was a letter to say goodbye．⑤Hannah was 76years old when they met again．⑥Hannah and Michael had lived far from each other．⑦They married both for the first time．A ①②③⑤⑦．B ①②④⑤⑥．C ①③④⑤⑦．D ②③④⑥⑦．（3）How is the passage mainly developed？________A By providing examples．B By making comparisons．C By following the order of events．D By following the order of importance．（4）Which of the following would be the best title for this passage？________A The Lost Letter．B Love Regained 60Years Later．C A BeautifulWedding． D A Kind Stranger．四、阅读填空（共1小题；每小题5分，满分5分）阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．每个空格里只填一个单词．16. You are stronger than any difficulties standing in your way， since you have a purpose that cannot be given up． You are smart and hard﹣working． You can expect what will happen and then work to make them real．Here are some life skills that will help you gain achievements．CuriosityCuriosity is the base of lifelong growth． It allows us to stay young in mind even as we grow wiser． Always remain curious and teachable． Keep an open mind and do not stop questioning and learning． You should open new doors， and experience new things． Be curious， and know that the journey begins again every day．CreativityCreativity is the most powerful tool of making progress． The world is moving so fast these days that those who say something can't be done are often proved wrong by those who are doing it． This is exactly why it's important to exercise your creative mind from time to time．PatienceIn the sweetest little voice， Winnie﹣the﹣Pooh once said， "Rivers know this： there isno hurry． We shall get there some day．" This is the power of patience．Patience does not mean sitting still． Instead， it means mastering（掌握） one's time by taking the steps， at the right speed， toward the final result， on and on． Standing the time between your departure（出发） and your arrival requires a great deal of willpower（意志力）． Patience can be bitter（痛苦的）， but the seeds（种子） you plant will bear sweet fruit， and this fruit is worth waiting for．Self﹣independenceSelf﹣independence is the most important one of all life skills， because without it you can't practice the others．Self﹣independence is the willingness to take responsibility（责任） for your life． It means taking control of your life， finding the true you by thinking for yourself， and making afirm choice to live your way．五、词汇（共4小题；每小题1分，满分4分）A）根据句子意思，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空，每空填一词．17. ________ （hope）． all the places of interest in Nanjing will be open to local people forfree in the near future．18.

greatest risk I'd ever taken was playing a role in my high school's fall play．I was not only a person who had （12）performance （表演）experience，but also I stuttered（口吃）．Then （13）of performing in front of people made me worried．The reason why I （14）to perform was that I wanted to take part in my school theatre program．On the day of the audition（试演），there were also some acting exercises to wam us up．We were divided into pairs to （15）parts of the play．I felt very worried．After I said some of the lines （台词），my partner said，"I （16）you are stuttering．Is that for dramatic effect or do you really stutter？"I was speechless．When my （17）to audition came，my heart was beating fast．Across from me sat the director and his assistants（助手）．Needless to say．I was really （18）my performance．I played the role of a man painter who pretended（假装）to be a woman．My partner was playing a businessman who wanted to marry me（the woman）．We said our lines and，（19），I didn't stutter．We went throughit several times，and finally it was over．I was so （20），The next Monday I was told that I had made the play．How excited I was!It was a lot of fun doing the play，and it was clear to me that my stuttering couldn't （21）me doing what I wanted to do，and taking risks was well worth the time and （22）．11．A．interesting B．exciting C．tiring D．challenging12．A．enough B．some C．little D．much13．A．experience B．thought

them float through the air，and some lie hidden in the ground．They do not need sunlight to survive，and if the weather becomes too cold，they can become inactive until conditions improve．What are these？They are called fungi（菌类），and you see them almost every day．Many kinds of fungi seem disgusting，such as the green black things that appear on the food which are left too long in the refrigerator．But other kinds are not so bad．For example，the yeast that is used to make bread and mushrooms （蘑菇）are both fungi．What makes fungi different from plants and animals？An animal can move around by itself．Fungi get around too，but they don't have feet，wings，or tails．They have to wait for wind or some other outside force to move them．Plants are different from fungi because they have chlorophyll（叶绿素）．It helps them make food from the energy in sunlight．Fungi do not have chlorophyll．Some fungi are bad，while others are not．Some fungi cause diseases，such as athlete's foot，which makes feet uncomfortable．Other kinds of fungi can be used to make medicies，which have saved many lives．Fungi clean up more than wounds，though．They are the world's first recyclers．Without fungi，our world would be a mess．Since fungi cannot make their own food as plants do，they must get their food elsewhere．Many fungi get their food from dead plants．They break them down and turn them into soil．The fungi get a meal，and the world gets a housecleaning．23．What does the underlined word"disgusting"most probably mean？A．strongB．unpleasantC．activeD．small24．According to the passage，．A．fungi can move everywhere by themselvesB．fungi are unable to survive in cold conditionsC．some fungi can make food from the energy in sunlight．D．some fungi are useful to humans and the environment25．Where can you most probably find this passage？A．In a social report．B．In a biology book．C．In ageography magazine．D．In a farming book．26．（6分）When was the last time you saw three men running down a forest trail（小径）in the rain wearing flipflops（拖鞋）？That's what my friend Brandon，Josh and I were doing last autumn．We were looking for a waterfall（瀑布）．We didn't have much time to get to the waterfall and back，so we were running．We were wearing flip﹣flops to prevent our shoes getting dirty．It was raining，but lightly．It kept us cool as we climbed over giant stones and through a shallow（浅的）stream．We followed red arrows（箭头）and crossed that stream several times，walking on toward the promised waterfall．Time was not on our side，howevr，and we were forced to turn around．As we started back，we looked at the shallow stream we had just crossed．Where did this rushing river come from？That was when we realized a flash flood was around!In the few minutes the water rose at a fast speed．Now there were no big stones tobe seen﹣only what looked like lumps（隆起）covered with rushing water．We had no choice but to move our way back carefully in the rushing water﹣in flip﹣flops．We had crossed the stream not once or twice，but six times in search of a waterfall that we never even reached!With most of the crossings，we needed each other's help if we didn't want to be washed away by water．Wet all over，we felt relaxed after we made the last crossing．"My dad always told me to keep off a river when travelling in the rain．"Josh said as we hurried back down the path．"Why didn't you tell us that earlier？"I laughed．"Would it have made a difference？"came the reply．He had a point．26．Why were there no big stones to be seen in the stream when they came back？A．The big stones were moved away by someone else．B．They were runningtoo fast to notice the big stones．C．The big stones were covered with rushing water．D．The big stones were washed away by rushing water．27．Why didn't they find the waterfall in the end？A．Because they were short of time．B．Because they were wearing flip﹣flops．C．Because Josh kept warning thm not to go any further．D．Because the flood prevented them from going forward．28．We can infer（推断）from the passage that the writer and his friends．A．were crazy about outdoor activitiesB．made full preparations before the tripC．crossed rushing water easily in the endD．had much experience in travelling in the rain．29．（6分）While it is common for restaurant owners to connect with their customers，a restaurant owner in the U．S．is taking it to a whole new level．Tim Harries gives out free hugs（拥抱）to every customer at the end of each meal．The atmosphere （气氛）at his restaurant"Tim's Place"is so positive（积极的）that customers often call it the"World's friendliest restaurant"．．"Tim's Hug"is in fact an item on the menu described as a"love"treat．Tim's hugs are doubly special because of everything he has achieved．The 26一year﹣old is probably the only Down syndrome sufferer（唐氏综合症患者）in the U．S．to own a restaurant，but he has several other things to be proud of﹣﹣he's a skillful special Olympian，an excellent sailor，and all experienced fisherman．He was also chosen as Homecoming King and Student of the Year in high school!So when a man like Tim hugs you，it is sure to be a special and unforgettable experienceWhen Tim expressed interest in opening a restaurant，Keith，a small businessman himself，supported him．Tim hired other people to manage the place and do the cooking，and he introducedthe idea of free hugs．He realized that people want to feel at home at a restaurant．That is why he included"love"as all ite on the menu．Customers can order the free hug from Tim，and even if they don't，he'll probably hug them anyway．The restaurant has been around sinc 2010，and Tim has given out over 19，000hugs in the past five years﹣﹣he keeps count using a special Hug Counter．Many customers love visiting"Tim's Place"．"I've been coming here once a week．"said Michelle Garth﹣Jones，a regular customer．"I love local restaurants，and this specil one has a story that stays with you．"29．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A．Customers prefer to feel relaxed at a restaurant．B．Unless you order Tim's Hug，he will not hug you．C．As soon as you enter Tim's Place，you will get a warm hug．D．Michelle Garth﹣Jones loves listening to the story in the restaurant．30．Which of the following words can best describe Time Harris？A．HumorousB．CreativeC．SeriousD．Curious31．What may be the best title for this passage？A．Tim's AchievementsB．A Special ExperienceC．A Down Syndrome SuffererD．The World's Friendliest Restaurant．32．（8分）Many expressions that we use in American English come from novels．Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carroll's famous novel"Alice in Wonderlan"in detail．The story is about a young girl fallin down a rabbit hole．When she finally lands，she finds herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters．The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit，who runs past her and says some strange words．Alice chases（追赶）him，and that is where her adventures begin．In English，chasing a white rabbit means chasing an impossible clue and finding yourself in a misleading situation．Then，as she runs after the rabbit，she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland．To fall down the rabbit hole can mean to enter a confusing（令人困惑的）situation．However，usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in something to the point of distraction （分神）．It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful．Later in the story，Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy tea party．Hares（野兔）have long been thought to behave excitedly in March，which is their mating（交配）season．Scientifically，this may not be true．But to be mad as a March Hare means that someone is completely mad，or crazy．The expression mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy．Of the two，mad as a Hatter is more common．But don't tell the March Hare．Who knows how he will react（反应）！Near the end of the story，Alice meets the Queen of Hearts．A woman who is called a Queen of Hearts likes controlling others and always tries to control everything and everyone around her．32．Which of the following situations best fits the expressions to fall down a rabbit hole？A．When Tom was taking a walk in the forest，he suddenly fell over onto the ground．B．When Mary turned on the TV，she chose to watch the talk show programme as usual．C．When Jim was looking for a sport book online，he lost himself in many report on surperstars．D．When Lily was thinking about how to solve a math problem，she came up with a good idea．33．According to the passage，the expression to be mad as a March Hare．A．describes how hares behave in MarchB．shows hares'characteristics in a scientific wayC．is used more often than the expression mad as a Hatter．D．has the same meaning as the expression mad as a Hatter34．Which character in"Alice in Wonderland"wants others to obey his or her orders in every situation？A．AliceB．The March HareC．The HatterD．The Queen of Hearts．35．The writer mainly wants to in the passage．A．introduce a famous novel and its language styleB．introduce a famous writer Lewis Carroll and his novelsC．explore some English expressions from a famous nvelD．explain why many expressions in English come from novels．四、阅读表达（共5小题：每小题5分，满分9分）阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格里只填一个单词．36．（5分）The Internet nowadays opens a wide world to people，including teenagers，but many parents worry that their children may meet with something unhealthy when searching online．In order to solve this problem，a new search engine for children called Kiddle has appeared．Search results are filtered（过滤），so only safe website are shown and descriptions are written in simple language．Searches with bad words are shut off，too．Kiddles uses the same colors as Google in its logo and a similar design on its homepage，too﹣﹣with an extra robot picture．The top three Kiddle search results show safe websites and pages written specially for kids，and those websites and pages are well chosen and checked by Kiddle developers．The fourth to seventh results will be safe and trusted websites that are not written for adults．They provide expert content，but are harder for kids to understand．Unlike on Google，most results appear along with large thumbnail pictures（缩略图）to make it easier for children to find what they are looking for．For example，when searching for"meow meow"．Google produces pages for information about a drug（毒品）that has"meow meow"as its nickname（绰号），but Kiddle lists information only about cats，even with some cartoon pictures．The company explained，"Websites which appear in Kiddle search results satisfy family﹣friendly requirements，as we filter websites with unhealthy content．"Kiddle﹣a Child﹣Friendly Search EngineCharacteristics•Only safe websites are shown．•Descriptions are

made the last crossing．"My dad always told me to keep off a river when travelling in the rain．"Josh said as we hurried back down the path．"Why didn't you tell us that earlier？"I laughed．"Would it have made a difference？"came the reply．He had a point．26．Why were there no big stones to be seen in the stream when they came back？A．The big stones were moved away by someone else．B．They were running too

short of time．B．Because they were wearing flip﹣flops．C．Because Josh kept warning them not to go any further．D．Because the flood prevented them from going forward．28．We can infer（推断）from the passage that the writer and his friends．A．were crazy about outdoor activitiesB．made full preparations before the tripC．crossed rushing water easily in the endD．had much experience in travelling in the rain．29．（6分）While it is common for restaurant owners to connect with their customers，a restaurant owner in the U．S．is taking it to a whole new level．Tim Harries gives out free hugs（拥抱）to every customer at the end of each meal．The atmosphere （气氛）at his restaurant"Tim's Place"is so positive（积极的）that customers often call it the"World's friendliest restaurant"．．"Tim's Hug"is in fact an item on the menu described as a"love"treat．Tim's hugs are doubly special because of everything he has achieved．The 26﹣year﹣old is probably the only Down syndrome sufferer（唐氏综合症患者）in the U．S．to own a restaurant，but he has several other things to be proud of﹣﹣he's a skillful special Olympian，an excellent sailor，and all experienced fisherman．He was also chosen as Homecoming King and Student of the Year in high school!So when a man like Tim hugs you，it is sure to be a special and unforgettable experienceWhen Tim expressed interest in opening a restaurant，Keith，a small businessman himself，supported him．Tim hired other people to manage the place and do the cooking，and he introduced the idea of free hugs．He realized that people want to feel at home at a restaurant．That is why he included"love"as all item on the menu．Customers can order the free hug from Tim，and even if they don't，he'llprobably hug them anyway．The restaurant has been around since 2010，and Tim has given out over 19，000 hugs in the past five years﹣﹣he keeps count using a special Hug Counter．Many customers love visiting"Tim's Place"．"I've been coming here once a week．"said Michelle Garth﹣Jones，a regular customer．"I love local restaurants，and this special one has a story that stays with you．"29．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A．Customers prefer to feel relaxed at a restaurant．B．Unless you order Tim's Hug，he will not hug you．C．As soon as you enter Tim's Place，you will get a warm hug．D．Michelle Garth﹣Jones loves listening to the story in the restaurant．30．Which of the following words can best describe Time Harris？A．HumorousB．CreativeC．SeriousD．Curious31．What may be the best title for this passage？A．Tim's AchievementsB．A Special ExperienceC．A Down Syndrome SuffererD．The World's Friendliest Restaurant．32．（8分）Many expressions that we use in American English come from novels．Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carroll's famous novel"Alice in Wonderlan"in detail．The story is about a young girl falling down a rabbit hole．When she finally lands，she finds herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters．The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit，who runs past her and says some strange words．Alice chases（追赶）him，and that is where her adventures begin．In English，chasing a white rabbit means chasing an impossible clue and finding yourself in a misleading situation．Then，as she runs after the rabbit，she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland．To fall down the rabbit hole can mean to enter a confusing（令人困惑的）situation．However，usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in something to the point of distraction（分神）．It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful．Later in the story，Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy tea party．Hares（野兔）have long been thought to behave excitedly in March，which is their mating（交配）season．Scientifically，this may not be true．But to be mad as a March Hare means that someone is completely mad，or crazy．The expression mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy．Of the two，mad as a Hatter is more common．But don't tell the March Hare．Who knows how he will react（反应）！Near the end of the story，Alice meets the Queen of Hearts．A woman who is called a Queen of Hearts likes controlling others and always tries to control everything and everyone around her．32．Which of the following situations best fits the expressions to fall down a rabbit hole？A．When Tom was taking a walk in the forest，he suddenly fell over onto the ground．B．When Mary turned on the TV，she chose to watch the talk show programmed as usual．C．When Jim was looking for a sport book online，he lost himself in many report on sharperstars．D．When Lily was thinking about how to solve a math problem，she came up with a good idea．33．According to the passage，the expression to be mad as a March Hare．A．describes how hares behave in MarchB．shows hares'characteristics in a scientific wayC．is used more often than the expression mad as a Hatter．D．has the same meaning as the expression mad as a Hatter34．Which character in"Alice in Wonderland"wants others to obey his or her orders in every situation？A．AliceB．The March HareC．The HatterD．The Queen of Hearts．35．The writer mainly wants to in the passage．A．introduce a famous novel and its language styleB．introduce a famous writer Lewis Carroll and his novelsC．explore some English expressions from a famous novelD．explain why many expressions in English come from novels．四、阅读表达（满分5分）阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格里只填一个单词．36．（5分）The Internet nowadays opens a wide world to people，including teenagers，but many parents worry that their children may meet with something unhealthy when searching online．In order to solve this problem，a new search engine for children called Kiddle has appeared．Search results are filtered（过滤），so only safe website are shown and descriptions are written in simple language．Searches with bad words are shut off，too．Kiddles uses the same colors as Google in its logo and a similar design on its homepage，too﹣﹣with an extra robot picture．The top three Kiddle search results show safe websites and pages written specially for kids，and those websites and pages are well chosen and checked by Kiddle developers．The fourth to seventh results will be safe and trusted websites that are not written for adults．They provide expert content，but are harder for kids to understand．Unlike on Google，most results appear along with large thumbnail pictures（缩略图）to make it easier for children to find what they are looking for．For example，when searching for"meow meow"．Google produces pages for information about a drug （毒品）that has"meow meow"as its nickname（绰号），but Kiddle lists information only about cats，even with some cartoon pictures．The company explained，"Websites which appear in Kiddle search results satisfy family﹣friendly requirements，as we filter websites with unhealthy content．"五、适当形式填空（A)41．（1分）Don't touch the（break）glasses．It may hurt your hand．42．（1分）More action must be taken to

an animal，right？Wrong!Many organisms（有机体）in our world are neither．Some of them float through the air，and some lie hidden in the ground．They do not need sunlight to survive，and if the weather becomes too cold，they can become inactive until conditions improve．What are these？They are called fungi（菌类），and you see them almost every day．Many kinds of fungi seem disgusting，such as the green black things that appear on the food which are left too long in the refrigerator．But other kinds are not so bad．For example，the yeast that is used to make bread and mushrooms （蘑菇）are both fungi．What makes fungi different from plants and animals？An animal can move around by itself．Fungi get around too，but they don't have feet，wings，or tails．They have to wait for wind or some other outside force to move them．Plants are different from fungi because they have chlorophyll（叶绿素）．It helps them make food from the energy in sunlight．Fungi do not have chlorophyll．Some fungi are bad，while others are not．Some fungi cause diseases，such as athlete's foot，which makes feet uncomfortable．Other kinds of fungi can be used to make medicines，which have saved many lives．Fungi clean up more than wounds，though．They are the world's first recyclers．Without fungi，our world would be a mess．Since fungi cannot make their own food as plants do，they must get their food elsewhere．Many fungi get their food from dead plants．They break them down and turn them into soil．The fungi get a meal，and the world gets a housecleaning．23．What does the underlined word"disgusting"most probably mean？B A．strongB．unpleasantC．activeD．small24．According to the passage，D．A．fungi can move everywhere by themselvesB．fungi are unable to survive in cold conditionsC．some fungi can make food from the energy in

break them down and turn them into soil．The fungi get a meal，and the world gets a house cleaning它们分解它们．变为土壤．真菌得到一顿饭，世界有了一个大扫除．可知，有些菌类对人类和环境有益．选D．25．答案：B．文章来源题．A在一份社会报告中．B在生物学书中．C在一个地理杂志．D在一本农业书中．短文主要介绍菌类的种类，及对人们和地球的影响．因此应该是来源于生物书中，选B．26．（6分）When was the last time you saw three men running down a forest trail （小径）in the rain wearing flip﹣flops（拖鞋）？That's what my friend Brandon，Josh and I were doing last autumn．We were looking for a waterfall（瀑布）．We didn't have much time to get to the waterfall and back，so we were running．We were wearing flip﹣flops to prevent our shoes getting dirty．It was raining，but lightly．It kept us cool as we climbed over giant stones and through a shallow（浅的）stream．We followed red arrows（箭头）and crossed that stream several times，walking on toward the promised waterfall．Time was not on our side，however，and we were forced to turn around．As we started back，we looked at the shallow stream we had just crossed．Where did this rushing river come from？That was when we realized a flash flood was around!In the few minutes the water rose at a fast speed．Now there were no big stones tobe seen﹣only what looked like lumps（隆起）covered with rushing water．We had no choice but to move our way back carefully in the rushing water﹣in flip﹣flops．We had crossed the stream not once or twice，but six times in search of a waterfall that we never even reached!With most of the crossings，we needed each other's help if we didn't want to be washed away by water．Wet all over，we felt relaxed after we made the last crossing．"My dad always told me to keep off a river when travelling in the rain．"Josh said as we hurried back down the path．"Why didn't you tell us that earlier？"I laughed．"Would it have made a difference？"came the reply．He had a point．26．Why were there no big stones to be seen in the stream when they came back？CA．The big stones were moved away by someone else．B．They were running too fast to notice the big stones．C．The big stones were covered with rushing water．D．The big stones were washed away by rushing water．27．Why didn't they find the waterfall in the end？DA．Because they were short of time．B．Because they were wearing flip﹣flops．C．Because Josh kept warning them not to go any further．D．Because the flood prevented them from going forward．28．We can infer（推断）from the passage that the writer and his friends A．A．were crazy about outdoor activitiesB．made full preparations before the tripC．crossed rushing water easily in the endD．had much experience in travelling in the rain．【解答】26．答案：C．细节理解题．根据第三段第一行Now there were no big stones to be seen﹣only what looked like lumps（隆起）covered with rushing water．现在没有大石头可以看到，只有那些看起来像是被急流覆盖的石块．可知，大石头被激流覆盖了．选C．27．答案：D．细节理解题．根据第一段walking on toward the promised waterfall．Time was not on our side，however，and we were forced to turn around．As we started back，we looked at the shallow stream we had just crossed．Where did this rushing river come from？That was when we realized a flash flood was around!向承诺的瀑布走去．时间不在我们身边，然而，我们被迫改变主意．我们开始往。

D．feeling三、阅读理解阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项．12．（6分）Every living thing on Earth is either a plant or an animal，right？Wrong!Many organisms（有机体）in our world are neither．Some of them float through the air，and some lie hidden in the ground．They do not need sunlight to survive，and if the weather becomes too cold，they can become inactive until conditions improve．What are these？They are called fungi（菌类），and you see them almost every day．Many kinds of fungi seem disgusting，such as the green black things that appear on the food which are left too long in the refrigerator．But other kinds are not so bad．For example，the yeast that is used to make bread and mushrooms （蘑菇）are both fungi．What makes fungi different from plants and animals？An animal can move around by itself．Fungi get around too，but they don't have feet，wings，or tails．They have to wait for wind or some other outside force to move them．Plants are different from fungi because they have chlorophyll（叶绿素）．It helps them make food from the energy in sunlight．Fungi do not have chlorophyll．Some fungi are bad，while others are not．Some fungi cause diseases，such as athlete'sfoot，which makes feet uncomfortable．Other kinds of fungi can be used to make medicines，which have saved many lives．Fungi clean up more than wounds，though．They are the world's first recyclers．Without fungi，our world would be a mess．Since fungi cannot make their own food as plants do，they must get their food elsewhere．Many fungi get their food from dead plants．They break them down and turn them into soil．The fungi get a meal，and the world gets a housecleaning．（1）What does the underlined word"disgusting"most probably mean？A．strongB．unpleasantC．activeD．small（2）According to the passage，．A．fungi can move everywhere by themselvesB．fungi are unable to survive in cold conditionsC．some fungi can make food from the energy in sunlight．D．some fungi are useful to humans and the environment（3）Where can you most probably find this passage？A．In a social report．B．In a biology book．C．In geography magazine．D．In a farming book．13．（6分）When was the last time you saw three men running down a forest trail（小径）in the rain wearing flip﹣flops（拖鞋）？That's what my friend Brandon，Josh and I were doing last autumn．We were looking for a waterfall（瀑布）．We didn't have much time to get to the waterfall and back，so we were running．We were wearing flip﹣flops to prevent our shoes getting dirty．It was raining，but lightly．It kept us cool as we climbed over giant stones and through a shallow（浅的）stream．We followed red arrows（箭头）and crossed that stream several times，walking on toward the promised waterfall．Time was not on our side，however，and we wereforced to turn around．As we started back，we looked at the shallow stream we had just crossed．Where did this rushing river come from？That was when we realized a flash flood was around!In the few minutes the water rose at a fast speed．Now there were no big stones tobe seen﹣only what looked like lumps（隆起）covered with rushing water．We had no choice but to move our way back carefully in the rushing water﹣in flip﹣flops．We had crossed the stream not once or twice，but six times in search of a waterfall that we never even reached!With most of the crossings，we needed each other's help if we didn't want to be washed away by water．Wet all over，we felt relaxed after we made the last crossing．"My dad always told me to keep off a river when travelling in the rain．"Josh said as we hurried back down the path．"Why didn't you tell us that earlier？"I laughed．"Would it have made a difference？"came the reply．He had a point．26．Why were there no big stones to be seen in the stream when they came back？A．The big stones were moved away by someone else．B．They were running too fast to notice the big stones．C．The big stones were covered with rushing water．D．The big stones were washed away by rushing water．27．Why didn't they find the waterfall in the end？A．Because they were short of time．B．Because they were wearing flip﹣flops．C．Because Josh kept warning them not to go any further．D．Because the flood prevented them from going forward．28．We can infer（推断）from the passage that the writer and his friends．A．were crazy about outdoor activitiesB．made full preparations before the tripC．crossed rushing water easily in the endD．had much experience in travelling in the rain．14．（6分）While it is common for restaurant owners to connect with their customers，a restaurant owner in the U．S．is taking it to a whole new level．Tim Harries gives out free hugs（拥抱）to every customer at the end of each meal．The atmosphere （气氛）at his restaurant"Tim's Place"is so positive（积极的）that customers often call it the"World's friendliest restaurant"．．"Tim's Hug"is in fact an item on the menu described as a"love"treat．Tim's hugs are doubly special because of everything he has achieved．The 26﹣year﹣old is probably the only Down syndrome sufferer（唐氏综合症患者）in the U．S．to own a restaurant，but he has several other things to be proud of﹣﹣he's a skillful special Olympian，an excellent sailor，and all experienced fisherman．He was also chosen as Homecoming King and Student of the Year in high school!So when a man like Tim hugs you，it is sure to be a special and unforgettable experienceWhen Tim expressed interest in opening a restaurant，Keith，a small businessman himself，supported him．Tim hired other people to manage the place and do the cooking，and he introduced the idea of free hugs．He realized that people want to feel at home at a restaurant．That is why he included"love"as all item on the menu．Customers can order the free hug from Tim，and even if they don't，he'll probably hug them anyway．The restaurant has been around since 2010，and Tim has given out over 19，000 hugs in the past five years﹣﹣he keeps count using a special Hug Counter．Many customers love visiting"Tim's Place"．"I've been coming here once a week．"said Michelle Garth﹣Jones，a regular customer．"I love local restaurants，and this special one has a story that stays with you．"29．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A．Customers prefer to feel relaxed at a restaurant．B．Unless you order Tim's Hug，he will not hug you．C．As soon as you enter Tim's Place，you will get a warm hug．D．Michelle Garth﹣Jones loves listening to the story in the restaurant．30．Which of the following words can best describe Time Harris？A．HumorousB．CreativeC．SeriousD．Curious31．What may be the best title for this passage？A．Tim's AchievementsB．A Special ExperienceC．A Down Syndrome SuffererD．The World's Friendliest Restaurant．15．（8分）Many expressions that we use in American English come from novels．Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carroll's famous novel"Alice in Wonderlan"in detail．The story is about a young girl falling down a rabbit hole．When she finally lands，she finds herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters．The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit，who runs past her and says some strange words．Alice chases（追赶）him，and that is where her adventures begin．In English，chasing a white rabbit means chasing an impossible clue and finding yourself in a misleading situation．Then，as she runs after the rabbit，she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland．To fall down the rabbit hole can mean to enter a confusing（令人困惑的）situation．However，usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in something to the point of distraction（分神）．It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful．Later in the story，Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy tea party．Hares（野兔）have long been thought to behave excitedly in March，which is their mating（交配）season．Scientifically，this may not be true．But to be mad as a March Hare means that someone is completely mad，or crazy．The expression mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy．Of the two，mad as a Hatter is more common．But don't tell the March Hare．Who knows how he will react（反应）！Near the end of the story，Alice meets the Queen of Hearts．A woman who is called a Queen of Hearts likes controlling others and always tries to control everything and everyone around her．32．Which of the following situations best fits the expressions to fall down a rabbit hole？A．When Tom was taking a walk in the forest，he suddenly fell over onto the ground．B．When Mary turned on the TV，she chose to watch the talk show programmed as usual．C．When Jim was looking for a sport book online，he lost himself in many report on superstars．D．When Lily was thinking about how to solve a math problem，she came up with a good idea．33．According to the passage，the expression to be mad as a March Hare．A．describes how hares behave in MarchB．shows hares'characteristics in a scientific wayC．is used more often than the expression mad as a Hatter．D．has the same meaning as the expression mad as a Hatter34．Which character in"Alice in Wonderland"wants others to obey his or her orders in every situation？A．AliceB．The March HareC．The HatterD．The Queen of Hearts．35．The writer mainly wants to in the passage．A．introduce a famous novel and its language styleB．introduce a famous writer Lewis Carroll and his novelsC．explore some English expressions from a famous novelD．explain why many expressions in English come from novels．四、阅读表达（满分5分）阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格里只填一个单词．16．（5分）The Internet nowadays opens a wide world to people，including teenagers，but many parents worry that their

about a drug（毒品）that has"meow meow"as its nickname（绰号），but Kiddle lists information only about cats，even with some cartoon pictures．The company explained，"Websites which appear in Kiddle search results satisfy family﹣friendly requirements，as we filter websites with unhealthy content．"Kiddle﹣a Child﹣Friendly Search EngineCharacteristics•Only safe websites are shown．•Descriptions are written

All that one day, when Mrs Kumar asked us towrite “An autobiography(自传) of a pencil”. For me, it was just another piece of homework, Mrs Kumar reacted(表现) very differently. Maybe she was just being , or maybe she really liked the work. Whatever her , she read it out to the class as an example of “fine writing”. A few years later, I went back to my old school. I was walking through the corridors(走廊) when I passed by Mrs Kumar, who was still teaching her class. She looked up as I passed and I , not wanting to disturb her. Seeing me, she went out and invited me into her class. “This girl is one of the best this school has seen,” she said. “She wrote a wonderful autobiography of a pencil. I hope some of you can learn to write like her. ”Even after all these years, I can still clearly remember that moment. My face shines with whenever I tell someone this experience. I am sure I was not the only student whose school homework Mrs Kumar . It is likely that she made an effort to make each one of us feel . However, I had never had anybody praise(表扬) my writing before that. It encouraged me to do better to prove to her that “Look! Your in me has worked. I am good, because you believe I am. ”Today, I am a successful writer. Thanks to Mrs Kumar, my are not only a tool(工具) to use. They are also a symbol of little beginnings and the power of a teacher’s encouragement.【小题1】A.startedB.repeatedC.changedD.appeared【小题2】A.andB.thoughC.soD.but【小题3】A.kindB.excitedC.satisfiedD.generous【小题4】A.reasonsB.causesC.effortsD.wishes【小题5】A.strangeB.endlessC.crowdedD.familiar【小题6】A.whisperedB.clappedC.wavedD.cheered【小题7】A.inventorsB.writersC.winnersD.visitors【小题8】A.courageB.honestyC.prideD.modesty【小题9】A.rememberedB.checkedC.includedD.marked【小题10】A.protectedB.specialC.lovedD.necessary【小题11】A.understandingB.confidenceC.recommendationD.congratulation【小题12】A.visitsB.writingsC.memoriesD.pencils阅读理解Once a traveller came into a village which was suffering from hunger. The villagers asked him to leave, for they feared he wanted them to give him food. They told him that there was no food. The traveller explained that he didn’t need any food and that, in fact, he was planning to make a soup to share with them instead. The villagers watched suspiciously as he built a fire and filled a pot with water With great ceremony(仪式), he pulled a stone from a bag, and dropped the stone into the pot of water. After a moment, he smelt the soup and shouted with excitement, “How delicious the soup is!” As the villagers began to show interest, he mentioned how good the soup would be withjust a little cabbage in it. A villager brought out a cabbage to share. This episode(情节) repeated itself until the soup had cabbage, carrots, onions, and beets—indeed, a full pot of soup that could feed everyone in the village was ready. This story describes when there are not enough resources(资源), humans will store things. We do not want to share. The story of stone soup helps us realize that, in doing so, we often prevent ourselves and everyone else from having a feast(盛宴).The meaning ofthis story goes far beyond food. We keep to ourselves ideas, love, andenergy, thinking we will be richer, but in fact we make the world, and ourselves, poorer. The traveller was able to see that the villagers were holding back, and he had the ability to inspire(激发) them to give. In this way, they created a large meal that none of them could have created alone. Are you like one of the villagers? If you come forward and share your gifts, you will inspire others to do the same. The reward is a feast that can feed many.【小题1】What does the underlined word “suspiciously” most probably mean?A.doubtfullyB.excitedlyC.curiouslyD.fearfully【小题2】 The traveller put a stone into the pot in order to .A.teach the villagers to cook a soup with stoneB.inspire the villagers to bring out their own foodC.prove to the villagers that he didn’t want their foodD.help villagers to survive by giving them some food【小题3】The writer mainly wants to tell us that .A.storing things in hard times is human natureB.a good leader is very necessary in hard timesC.skills are needed to inspire people to share with othersD.sharing is more important than keeping things to oneselfGreek(希腊)?Roman(罗马) FestivalFriday, April 28thYou can join one group. As a member of the group, you will take part in at least ONE of the following activities.1Compete in an Olympic event. Remember there is only small space for each event, so don’t be late.Hercules Throw. Throw a football through a hoop(圈) 20 feet away.Three Headed Race Three people line up with touching legs tied. Then they run 100 metres in the playground.Toga Barrow Race This is like a wheelbarrow race. (Runners take hold of partners? feet while partners walk on hands.)2Make Greek or Roman food. Mrs Jones has a list of recipes(菜谱) from ancient(古代的) Greece and Rome. You may make American food, but be sure to give it a special, mythological(神话的) name. For example, call your chocolate cake “Zeus’s Delight.” This is a great way to practice your skills in the kitchen.3Create a work of art for the museum. Be sure your artwork shows ancient Greek or Roman culture. Artworks may include sculptures, paintings, mosaics, drawings or models. The museum is a great place to show off your artistic talent.4Perform a new short performance, song or dance for the talent show. Rewrite your favorite Greek myth(神话) by using modern language, or change the words of a popular song to tell a Greek or Roman story. Send your creative ideas to your English teacher for agreement.

In an unusual competition, the Government will ask people to find out the greatest challenge(挑战) today, such as finding a replacement(替代) for oil, producing low cost food or curing AIDS/HIV. When the toughest problem has been decided, the Prime Minister will give away ￡1,000,000 to the person who successfully works out the answer. The competitionfollows the example of the Longitude Prize started by the government in 1714, which offered ￡20,000 (worth ￡6,000,000 today) to anyone who could discover how far east or west ships had sailed. Sailors could work out their location north and south, and were able to decide their local time from the sun. However, they needed to know the time at areference(参照) point in order to find out how far they had travelled east or west. Many people thought the problem was impossible to solve, but the prize was finally won by John Harrison, an ordinary worker. He did this by designing a clock that kept accurate(准确的) time at sea and made it possible for sailors to work out their location. Almost exactly 300 years on, Mr Cameron will have a group of scientists collect suggestions and draw up a short list of problems facing the world. He will then start a race to solve the most difficult problem. A government officer said, “We want people to think big: what does the world need and how can we achieve that? We are looking for the next penicillin(青霉素), airplane or World Wide Web. Something that is going to really change what we do and how we live our lives—sending us ahead in the global race. ”According to Mr Cameron, it is important to “encourage new ideas” and “attract back the best and the brightest” to Britain.【小题1】 The British government promises ￡1,000,000 to any person who .A.can solve the biggest challenge facing the worldB.can find how the next penicillin works on illnessesC.can think of the most difficult problem in the worldD.can help the Prime Minister run his government better【小题2】 The Longitude Prize is mentioned mainly to .A.explain why the government set up the prize in 1714B.show John Harrison was a great success as an inventorC.show that the government is very grateful to John HarrisonD.explain what gave Mr Cameron the idea of starting the competition【小题3】 We can infer(推断) from Paragraphs 4 and 5 that .A.ships no longer get lost at sea with Harrison’s inventionB.clocks on ships kept good time before Harrison’s inventionC.sailors found it hard to work out their location north and southD.the sailing industry was very important in Britain around the 1700s【小题4】 Which of the following is true according to the text?A.John Harrison was sure that he would win the prize.B.The million pound prize will go to a British scientist.C.The British government pays special attention to the nation’s creativity.D.A replacement for oil is considered as the toughest problem by the scientists.In modern society(社会) there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, for they believe that it is helpful for social progress and richness. Others say that competition is bad, and that it sets one person against another and leads to unfriendliness between people. I have trained many children who held the belief(看法) that their self worth came from how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life and death matters. Sadly, they forget to develop many other human qualities. However, while some seem to be lost in the strong wish to succeed, others think quite the opposite. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary(普通) players, theystrongly blame competition, especially youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures(压力) from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often find that they even choose to fail. They seem to choose failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse, “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” In fact, they are worried that if they had really tried and failed, the failure would mean that they were worth nothing. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self worth comes from how well oneperforms in comparison(比较) with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. We can only discover a new meaning in competition as such worries and fear begin to disappear.Title: Opinions about competitionMain argument Some believe that competition can push society 【小题1】, while others think competition 【小题2】unfriendliness between people. C hildren’s performances Some children 【小题3】care about performing well and winning.Some children give up trying to prevent themselves from 【小题4】.Reason behind They think one can prove his self worth only by performing better than others in competition. Wr iter’s 【小题5】to children Understand the new meaning of competition.Harry is a boy with a learning disability. On his fourth birthday, he was given a pug called Millie. Two weeks after the dog’s arrival, he was happier and calmer and said his first words, “dog” and “mummy”. Just two months later, thieves stole the dog, and now the heartbroken little boy is back to where he started. He has refused to talk since losing his best friend. His mother was worried and gave him another dog, but he just “pushed it away”. Mrs Hainsworth, his mother, says, “My son is very sad. He’ll go over to her cage and just beat(敲打) on the bars. There is no word coming out, but you just know he’s screaming ‘Where is Millie’ inside. Millie was really his best friend. They would play together happily for hours. None of his toys has ever held his attention that long. Now he has just completely turned quiet again. ”Harry suffers from a condition which affects his ability to speak and move. But the dog’s being with him achieved more in d ays than months of speech therapy and physiotherapy had. Mrs Hainsworth says, “My son was so happy when he saw Millie. Being with Millie changed him, and within two weeks he had said his first words and was working on saying ‘dad’. Just last week, his teac hers and I were saying how much Millie had helped him. And now this!” Mrs Hainsworth is considering buying another pug in the hope that her son will accept it. Maureen Hennis of the charity, Pets as Therapy, says she has seen many cases of dogs helping peo ple with speech problems. “People may talk to a dog when they wouldn’t like to talk to another human,” she says. “A dog doesn’t care if words come out wrong.”【小题1】 Before getting Millie, Harry .A.had never seen a dogB.had never said a wordC.had received little treatmentD.had never played with toys【小题2】 With Millie gone, Harry .A.is too sad to continue learning to talkB.often quietly waits for her beside the cageC.keeps asking his mother to get him another pugD.does not want to play with other children any more【小题3】 According to Maureen Hennis, Millie was able to help Harry because .A.dogs are man’s best friendsB.dogs are very clever and helpfulC.children don’t have stress when talking to dogsD.children would rather talk to dogs than to humans书面表达过年燃放爆竹是中国人的传统,但是近年来越来越多的人同过年不放爆竹。

AThe Smallest Life Around UsTiny plants and animals live all around us．We cannot see them because they are so small，but they are everywhere. They live in the soil，in the air，and in rivers and oceans．They grow on mountains and in caves．Some live in the ice at the north and south poles; some live where it is very hot．They are found throughout cities and in the country. They grow on other plants and animals．Some are even living on you，on your skin，hair，and inside your body，in your mouth，nose，and all through your body．These tiny plants and animals are called microbes ．The word microbe is made from two other words ：micro ，meaning small ，and bios ，meaning life ．So ，microbe means small life ． Microbes have been on eart h for a very long time ．They may have been the first forms of life to be alive ．Today there are more microbes in the world than all other living things ．People did not know microbes had existed （存在） long ．They were too small for them to see ．But people did see many changes in their world ﹣important changes ．And they did not know what caused them ．They saw food that they kept too long change color and begin to smell bad ．They saw cuts and wounds grow red and painful and become worse. They saw old plants and leaves and trees crumble apart on the forest floor and disappear into the soil ．Such changes were a natural part of the world ，but people did not understand them ．They did not know these changes were evidence(证据) of tiny plants and animals growing all around them.23．Why couldn't people see microbes ？A ．Because they are too small ．B ．Because they live inside our body ．C ．Because they live far from humans ．D ．Because they may have been the first forms of life to be alive ．24．The underlined phrase" crumble apart" in the last paragraph means" "．A ．grow tallerB ．change into soilC ．break into tiny piecesD ．become colorful and energetic25．Choose the answer that completes the web below ． A ．Microbes are very small B ．Microbes are all around us C ．People can't see microbes D ．Food begins to smell badBI used to think that life in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, was filled with never-changing styles. I hated that everyone seemed to know everything about everyon e else. Everyone seemed to enjoy talking about other people and their lives. I also didn’t like the fact that people see med very close-minded. I felt trapped. I felt like I was missing . It seemed to me that city life would be the opposite.Then I took my first trip to New York City. I couldn’t wait to experience the city. However, when I arrived in the Big Apple, it wasn’t at all what I had imagined. I knew it was home to thousands of people, but I hadn’t had the least expectation to see so many people on the street at one time. All the streets were filled with people. I also felt a little surprised to see that everyone was in a hurry and everything moved at such a fast pace(步伐). When I took the su bway for the first time, I said hello to the middle-aged woman next to me. She looked at me with dislike and didn’t say a word.Evidence thatmicrobes existCuts and wounds get red and painful Leaves disappearinto soil?After just one day, I realized how important my small town is to me. Now I miss the familiar faces I see every day. I like the feeling of safety and belonging m y town offers. Jim Thorpe gives me a sense of community and togetherness that the city doesn’t provide. I realize just how much a simple hello does for a stranger — it really can make your day a little better.My big trip showed me that my small town really has its own values in me that I didn’t even know I had. I never would have known what a big place my town holds in my heart if I had not taken that trip to New York City.26. What surprised the author most in New York City?A. The gestures of greeting.B. The modern transportation.C. The modern life.D. The crowded streets.27. What made the author change his / her attitudes to his /her hometown?A. Travelling to New York City.B. The familiar faces in Jim Thorpe.C. Greeting the middle-aged woman .D. Everybody likes talking about others.28. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Love of my small townB. A sense of communityC. A pleasant trip to New York CityD. Differences between big cities and small townsCWhen US student Olivia Priedeman, 17, woke up one morning, she thought she had had a dream ab out making plans with a friend.But it wasn't a dream. Her phone showed that during the night, Priedeman had read a text message from her friend. She did it while she was fast asleep.Reading and sending text messages while asleep called─"sleep texting"─ is an unusual sleep behaviour, similar to sleep walking. It's also a growing problem among doctors: young people can’ t live without their cell phones.One in three teenagers sends more than 100 text messages a day, according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project. And at least four out of five teenagers said they sleep with their phone on or near their bed.Elizabeth Dowdell, a professor at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, has studied sleep texting. She said that having a phone nearby all night is a big part of the problem.Andrew Stiehm, a sleep medicine researcher with Allina Health in Minnesota, agrees. It's possible for the part of the brain that controls skills to wake up, while the part of the brain that controls memory and judgment(判断) may be still asleep. That's why some people can perform basic movements-such as walking, talking, texting or even driving while they're sleeping. Some of Dowdell's students said that they're disturbed by their nighttime texting behaviour. But because sleep texting is unconscious, it's a difficult habit to break. Dowdell said she knows of some students who wear socks on their hands to keep themselves from texting.Marjorie Hogan, a doctor at Hennepin County Medical Centre in Minneapolis, Minnesota, suggests keeping all electronic products outside the bedroom.29. What happened to Olivia Priedeman?A. She sleepwalked to a friend's house.B. She dreamed of making plans with a friend.C. She phoned one of her friends during the night.D.

He must have made greater efforts and had more difficulties than others．And so he did．So stop complaining about why good luck isn't always falling on you and devote yourselves to your work now．32．What is Paragraph 1 written for？A．Comparing movies with fashion．B．Showing the shoes are popular．C．Introducing the following passage．D．Attracting readers' attention to the shoes．33．When he was young，Jimmy Choo ．A．had got no educationB．showed his talent in making shoesC．made himself a famous fashion designerD．was born in China and then moved to Malaysia34．Which of the following is the correct order about Jimmy Choo？a．He opened his shops around the world．b．His shoes appeared in V ogue magazine．c．He created his first pair of shoes．d．He had his workshop in London．e．Jimmy Choo Ltd．was set up．A．c﹣d﹣b﹣a﹣e B．c﹣d﹣b﹣e﹣aC．d﹣c﹣b﹣e﹣a D．c﹣b﹣d﹣e﹣a35．What can we learn from the passage？A．Choo was lucky enough when he was young．B．Choo must be thankful for V ogue magazine．C．"Jimmy Choo" is a brand with a long history．D．It's much harder for a man to succeed in the fashion world．第Ⅱ卷（非选择题共42分）四、阅读表达(共5小题；每小题1分。
