Elizabeth is the eldest child of the family. Her sister Princess Margaret was born 4 years later. Elizabeth and Margaret have very different characters.Elizabeth is very serious and tidy; Margaret is outgoing and headstrong. But they have kept close as sisters. When having lessons at home with their governess Marion Crawford,Margaret was often naughty. Elizabeth protected her every time when she broke the rule. When they grew up, Margaret had sad love stories and unhappy marriage. The Queen gave her a lot of help.Margaret was one of the few people who could lose their temper with the Queen. Even as an adult, she would sometimes shout at her. But they never quarreled （吵架）for long. To Queen Elizabeth, it was a sadness that her sister never found lasting happiness.3 A.B.C.D.The film A Royal Night Out talks about .the daily life of Queen Elizabeth Ⅱthe palace life of the two young princessesa true story of the two sisters which is not well-known the celebrations of the end of World War Ⅱ in Europe （1）A.B.C.D.A "governess " is .someone who cares for sick, old or young people in a hospital a woman who teaches and trains a child especially in a private home a woman who works in a restaurant, serving people with food and drinksomeone who is employed to manage the cleaning, cooking etc in a house or hotel（2）三、阅读理解ed to be a quiet girlB.had an unhappy family lifeC.often lost her temper with ElizabethD.was hard-working and strong-mindedFrom the passage above, we learn that Margaret .（3）A.B.C.D.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?The sisters often fought each other.Elizabeth always protected her sister.The queen and her sister are very different.Elizabeth felt sorry for her sister's unsuccessful marriage.（4）A.B.C.D.What is the main idea of the passage?The passage tells us about the life of Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ.The passage is mainly about Queen Elizabeth's childhood.The main idea of the passage is about Margaret's sad love stories.The passage mainly talks about the two sisters' good relationship.（5）For many years, I believed that all my sufferings came from my ever size body. I even thought that if I were thinner, all the problems might disappear.Many weight-conscious people mistakenly believe that changing their bodies will fix everything. Perhaps their worst mistake is believing that being thin is the same to being loved,being special, and being cherished （被珍惜）. They dream every day about what will happen when they get to the right size. They work very hard to realize this dream. Then, one day, they finally get to their goal. However, they may find that things are not changed, and problems are still there, which may disappoint them even more.It took me a long time to find out that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards （标准）are different among countries. In Samoa, a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if we want happiness, why not put our energy there instead of on the size of our body? Why not look inside? We have to find a way to live comfortable inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitude （态度） towards ourselves, the whole world changes.4 A.body sizeB.culture differenceC.ideas about beautyD.attitude towards lifeThe passage tries to tell readers the importance of .（1）Which of the following has the similar meaning with the word "fix " in paragraph 2?（2）A.Repair.B.Answer.C.Become.D.Love.A.B.C.D.The weight-conscious people's worst mistake is .never getting to their goal not knowing how to lose weightbelieving that body size means everything in life about the beauty standards in different countries （3）A.B.C.D.What is TRUE about the writer?He/ She is a Samoan.He/ She succeeded in losing weight.He/ She used to cherish herself/ himself all the time.He/ She used to be troubled by her/his weight.（4）A.B.C.D.According to the writer, what is the right attitude towards life?A woman weighing more than 200 pounds is attractive.All the others will love you if you are thin and beautiful.People should live comfortable without thinking about their weight.We should put our energy on happiness instead of on our body size.（5）When US student Olivia Priedeman, 17, woke up one morning, she thought she had had a dream about 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 deeply asleep.Reading and sending text messages while being asleep—called "sleep texting （发短信）”一is an unusual sleep behaviour, similar to sleep walking. It's also a growing concern （关心的事） 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 phoned on or near their bed.Elizabeth Dow dell, a professor at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, has studied sleeping texting. She said that having a phone nearby all night is a big part of the problem.Andrew Stiehm, a sleep medicine expert with All in a Health in Minnesota, agreed. It's possible for the part of the brain that controls motor skills to wake up, while the part of the brain that controls memory and judgment 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.5Some of Dowdell's students said that they're disturbed （困扰） by their nighttime texting behaviour. But because sleep texting is unconscious , it's a difficult habit to break.Dow dell said that some students even wear socks on their hands to keep themselves from texting.Marjorie Hog an, a doctor at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota,suggests that keeping all electronic device （电子产品） outside the bedroom at bed time may do help.A.B.C.D.What happened to Olivia Priedeman?She sleep walked to a friend's house.She dreamed of making plans with a friend.She called one of her friends during the night.She read a text message from her friend while being asleep.（1）A.B.C.D.According to the experts, why can some people keep moving while they are sleeping?Because they are cleverer than the others.Because they can't live without their cell phoned.Because they sleep with their phoned on or near their bed.Because some part of the brain still wakes up.（2）A.不主动的B.无意识的C.无动于衷的D.没有规律的What does the underlined word "unconscious" mean?（3）A.B.C.D.Doctor Hogan suggests people who sleep text .stop texting during the night timetake some medicine to control the behaviourkeep their phones out of their bedrooms while they are sleepingwear socks on their hands to stop themselves from sending text messages （4）A.B.C.D.We can learn from the passage that .it is easy to give up a sleep texting habitone in three teenagers has sleep texting behaviour four out of five teenagers send 100 text messages a dayhaving a phone nearby all night is a reason of sleep texting behaviour（5）Read the following six advertisements and answer the questions for each of them.HOUSE FOR SALEComfortable family home with large garden on north side of town.6Three bedrooms, living room, kitchen, bathroom.Offer over ＄35, 000ASSISTANT WANTEDFor busy restaurant.

He was so well known for his good knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn from him. 1One day a student asked him, "My dear teacher, I have thought about your words over and over again, and I can understand most of them. But still, there is something I don't understand. 2 But I think we students have far more than you. "7四、语篇补全A.B.C.D.E. 3 Then he said, "Of course, I have learned much more. But it's wrong to think that a teacher has fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles. The inside of the bigger one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of the smaller one is yours. 4 Since mine is larger, I have to use the longer line to draw the bigger circle. That means I have more chances to face what is still unknown. And that's why I myself have more questions than you do. 5 You will never learn enough, you know. "Out of the circle is what is still unknown to us.With a smile on his face, the teacher drew two circle, one as large as a big cake, the other smaller. .The more you learn, the more questions you have.The great man taught his students whole-heartedly and answered their questions with great patience.Didn't you say you yourself have many, many more questions about things than we do?（共6小题，每小题1分，共6分）The k on your right is used for cutting meat.8I believe that our friendship will last f .9Eating more vegetables is good for our h .10The three boxes only w 3kg altogether, so we can carry them easily.11Can you guess the m of this new word according to the text?12Are there any good ways to make these n dogs quiet down?13五、首字母填空（共7小题，每小题2分，共14分）他们正在准备明天的生日派对。
