If you are still planning what you are going to do during the days, why not enjoy a visit to a theme (主题) park?Lots of theme parks have roller coasters (过山车). A roller coaster is anything that may appear dangerous while in fact, it's perfectly safe for family fun as long as you are over the height of 48 inches. If you like heart-stopping thrills, this "scream machine" is your best choice. For example, Kingda Ka is a steelroller coaster located at Six Flags Great Adventure in the United States. It is the world's tallest roller coaster, the world's second fastest roller coaster. Riding this roller coaster makes you feel like you are flying. One second you may be looking at the sky and the next you are looking straight down at the ground!Does this sound scary (惊悚的) to you? If so, we will take you to other theme parks around the world.Ocean Park in Hong Kong is the first stop. You can walk through an underwater tunnel as sharks swim overhead or watch a dolphin swimming show. Besides, cable cars will carry you more than 200 metres to the top of the park.Europa-Park is another good choice. If you think a few' days are not enough to travel through Europe,this theme park in Germany will show you what other European countries are like. Europa-Park has 12 country-themed areas. You can first ride French bobsleds (雪橇), then eat Greek sandwiches and then take a roller coaster based on the Russian space station—all in one day! Besides, Europa-Park is very real. The street lights in the Spanish part are from Spain and the small houses in the Swiss part come from Switzerland.Our last stop is Universal's Islands in the US, a world-famous dinosaur theme park.

He told his employer (雇主) of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more relaxing life with his wife and children. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They thought they could support themselves for the rest of their life.The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He turned to bad workmanship and used poor building materials.It was an unlucky way to end his working life. When the carpenter finished his work and the employer came to see the house, he handed the front door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you."What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted (不专注的) way, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized that, we would have done it differently.It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived with dignity (尊严).The sentence on the wall reads, "Life is a do-it-yourself project." Who could say it more clearly? Your life today is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past. Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and choices you make today.88. The old carpenter lived quite a rich life with his wife and children, didn't he?89. Why did the old carpenter want to retire?90. What did the old carpenter's employer ask him to do before he retired?91. How did the carpenter do the job his employer asked him to do?92. How did the carpenter feel when he realized that the last house he built was his home?93. What does the sentence on the wall mean?VII. Writing (作文): (共20分)94.

It is never necessary to tell them to leave you alone.I especially like this kind of free atmosphere in which I can walk slowly, pick whatever I want and decide which is to take without any personal suggestions from shop assistants. Although sometimes, store staff help customers to fetch shoes or clothes of a specific size or color, they never exaggerate 夸大their opinions on it, as their task is to provide service but not to provide comments. Besides, each brand has a refund policy 退款政策.The policy may vary from one another, but a cooling-off period of 14 to 28 days is provided for customers to think twice about whether they really want the products they bought. Within the cooling-off period, customers can easily get full refund or exchange if they can provide a valid receipt 有效发票and unused products with all the tags. It encourages customers to buy products more often and increases sales.As for customers, it is also good, for people can have a chance to get back their money which was spent on unwanted clothes.The . is a modern country with traditions.

First, he developed a cancer that left him whistling for breath. Then came cataracts (白内障) in both eyes, arthritis (关节炎) in his legs, and a series of ministrokes (小中风) that threw off his balance. Any one of these misfortunes would have left me begging for relief, but Chance became calmer as the disabilities piled up.When leg pain left him frozen on the floor, unable to rise for a quick pat as I came home, he didn’t complain. He just lay there patiently, signaling me with his hammering tail, each movement spelling out the value of waiting for the things you want. When his cataracts made steering impossible after dark, he’d stand calmly until I could guide him inside, proving how easy it is to find happiness if you let go of your pride and insecurities and learn to lean on those who love you. When ministrokes had him walk unsteadily like a drunk, he taught the value of persistence. For days after each attack, he’d fall as he moved about. Yet again and again he’d try to walk, each day moving a few more steps until finally he was able to get outside and back by himself.There were lessons in so much of what he did, but the key one surely was the importance of obtaining all the joy possible from each experience whether it’s a day lazing under a warm sun or a few minutes appreciating a favorite meal.For most of our life together, Chance was always rushing ahead, searching out new adventures, then circling back to let me know what lay around the next bend. As an old dog, he did the same thing, using his attitude, instead of his once-fast legs, to show the way.66.

During its course, French revolutionaries brought down the empire and established a republic of free and equal citizens.In reading the work, one sees that Dickens distorted some details of the French Revolution. At the beginning, Dickens notes that, in 1775, France was busy spending money. This mention of France’s spending touches briefly on what is perhaps the major cause of the French Revolution. Before the revolution, the government often borrowed money because it spent more than it raised in taxes. The increased spending and borrowing made many people’s blood boil, yet Dickens focused instead on the nobility’s oppression and exploitation of t he working class, including peasants, as the causes of the revolution.The Marquis, one of the book’s characters, ill-treats and kills many people. Thus, he represents the nobles who mistreat the lower classes. One reviewer criticized this picture as an unfair representation of French society in the mid-1700s. The reviewer pointed out that the government would have punished nobles who mistreated or murdered. Nobles may have been guilty of other evils, however, such as not feeding the starving masses after bad weather ruined crops in 1789.Dickens’ account of the storming of the Bastille fails to mention that the gang that stormed the prison was looking forbullets and bombs to use in defense against a possible attack by the kin g’s troops. Dickens does inclu de some accurate details, however, such as the crowd’s finding only seven prisoners and freeing them and the pack’s executing (处决) the prison administrator and sticking his head on a post. The scene that the women knit (编织) as they watch the executions may seem to be an odd detail, but actually many women did knit stockings for the war effort as they watched the killing machine at work.Dickens’ descriptions of the steady stream of sentenced people into prison and the carts taking them to their deaths give readers some idea of the frequency with which officials jailed and executed people during the Rule of T error, which lasted about a year. During the Terror, the government jailed about 250 thousand people, tried(审判) and killed about 17 thousand, and executed about 12thousand without a trial. Those executed included people who opposed the revolution, people who offended the revolutionaries, and even some revolutionaries. About 15 percent were members of the ministry or nobility.74. What does the word “distorted” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. Discussed.B. Revealed.C. Provided.D. Twisted.75. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. A wild crowd rushed into the Bastille to fight with the royal soldiers.B. The nobles’ m istreating and killing people is the maincause of the revolution.C. About thirty thousand people lost their lives in the course of the Rule of Terror.D. Women were forced to work for the war supplies while watching people killed.76. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Dickens was once among the revolutionaries storming the Bastille.B. There was an extreme disorder and horror during the revolution.C. Nobles of those days in France were loaded with heavy social responsibilities.D. Classic literary works may serve as history textbooks to a great degree.77. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. The Collapse of the French EmpireB. Unknown Facts during the Rule of TerrorC. Dickens’ Description of the French Revolu tionD. A Critical View on A Tale of Two CitiesSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.For decades, a small percentage of homeowners have been installing solar panels(嵌板) on their rooftops. Those panels collect solar energy and change it into electricity. Until recently, the panels were too expensive for average homeowners, and their designs were anything but appealing. Thanks to new advances, however, solar panels for homes are becoming cheaperand less awkward, causing more homeowners to consider installing them.Last fall furniture seller IKEA began selling solar panels in its U.K. stores. Of course, home improvement stores such as Home Depot have been selling panels for a while. But the initiative by IKEA is seen as a way to bring the Do It Yourself solar option to the masses. While shopping for inexpensive furniture, shoppers could add a box or two of solar panels to their carts. IKEA is partnering with a company that handles installation and servicing of the panels, making the switch to solar easy for customers. If all goes well, IKEA plans to begin selling the panels in other countries soon.SolTech, a Swedish tech company, offers a solar-power solution that is much more pleasing to the eye than traditional solar panels. Instead of flat panels, SolTech offers a glass tile (瓦片) solutionthat goes well with existing tiled roof designs. The see-through tiles have a silver-gray color to them, and their shape fits traditional tiled roof designs. SolTech currently offers the solar systems that heat the home’s air or water and one solar PV system that produces electricity.New Energy Technologies, Inc. is developing a solar application that won’t be installed on rooftop s. Instead, the first-of-its-kind SolarWindow TM technology enables see-through windows to produce electricity in the way of showering their glass surfaces with the company’s patent-pending (专利申请中的) electricity-producing coatings. Amazingly, SolarWindow TM can produce electricity in low-light conditions and can even turn indoor light into electricity! This product holds great promise for commercial buildings since about 60 percent of acommercial building’s surface is covered with windows.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)78. Solar panels on homeowners’ rooftops work by __________.79. What is IKEA doing to popularize their DIY solar option?80. SolTech’s solar panels are prettier because the see-through glass tiles are __________.81. How is SolarWindow TM technology used to produce electricity?第II卷（共47分）I. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1. 看，十年前种的那棵树现在长得多高了呀！(how)2. 你看上去很疲惫，为什么不回家好好睡一觉呢？(tired)3. 普遍认为在公共场合大声说话是粗鲁的，应该避免。

D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): (12分)The first time I saw Jim Wooten I really understood him. He was agreat TV news reporter. When he was reporting in Rwanda, oneheartbreaking moment made a deep impression on me. When thecamera showed all of the children who were dying, suffered fromterrible diseases,Jim ended his piece by saying that when he got home,the first thing he was going to do was to put his arms around his ownchildren. Then I realized that he was differe nt, that he didn’t fall into any of the modern television-news tricks, that he was not giving us any awful, artificial(假的) television-journalist reports out of（出于) pity. Instead, I was watching a real reporter with a gift(天赋) for both words and slight differences.Then I read his book, We Are All the Same, about his friendship with Xolani Nkosi, a South African boy who became the international spokesman for AIDS(艾滋病). It is about the friendship between Wooten and a black child who was ten years old and already dying of AIDS. It is also a book about a great teacher and his student. But the teacher－the one with real wisdom and understanding about life－is the little boy, not the journalist. And, finally, it’s about a love story of Gail Johnson, Nkosi’s white mother who does her best to save the boy, and their lo ve for each other. When reading the book, I felt touched from time to time.88. How did Jim Wooten feel when he saw the dying children in Rwanda?__________________________________________________________________.89.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)One morning, a blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said, “I am blind, please help me.”There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the words.Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Are you the one who changed m y sign in the morning? What did you write? ”The man said, “I only wrote the truth, I said what you said, but in a different way. ”What he had written was, “ Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it.”Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.There are at least two lessons we can learn from this story.The first is: Treasure（珍惜）what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help.The second is: Be creative(有创造力的). Think differently.

And his greatest dream was to fill the safe with gold and jewels.The wise man thought about this problem for months. One night he appeared at the rich man’s house with a big smile on his face. He said, “ I’ve done it! My calculations are perfect! You’ll be rich beyond your wildest dreams.” The rich man was very delighted to go on a long journey. He promised the wise man double pay to run his business for him.When the rich man returned, he found that all of his money was gone. Very angry, he asked the wise man to explain. The wise man told him he’d given everything away. The wise man said, “ I analyzed(分析) how a single rich man could gain the biggest wealth. But it is limited how much one man can do by himself. Then I realized that many people could help us achieve our goal. By helping other people, you could gain most.”Disappointed and angry, the rich man went away. As he was walking, several neighbours saw him. All of them had their share when the wise man gave away the man’s wealth. They were so thankful that they welcomed him to their homes and offered anything he needed.Over the next few weeks, …88. Did the rich man ask a wise man to build a safe?

He had left the college 25 years before, and he had never been back. As he walked up from station, he slowly began to feel the same excitement that he had felt when he first went there as an 18-year'-01d boy. When he received the email inviting him to the reunion (重聚) for the people of his year at college, he had felt only happy and excited. Now, as he got nearer to the college, he was nervous, yes, definitely nervous. Perhaps his classmates had all been more successful than him, or at least earned more money than him.He was happy in his job as a university lecturer, but the others were probably all lawyers, accountants and bankers. Who would be there at the reunion? He wondered. He was proud that he had studied there and glad to be back, but at the same time sad that the college was no longer part of his life, sad that he couldn't bring back those days which meant so much to him.The porter gave him a key to a room in the college. He couldn't believe it. It was his' old room. As he walked through the door, he was surprised to feel a tear rolling down his cheeks. He had never thought he would feel like this. He tried to remind himself that his times there had not always been happy, that there had been problems too. It was almost time for dinner, so he put on his black dinner jacket and bow tie and walked down to the dining hall, wondering if any of his old friends would be there.He walked into the dining hall, and there she was. She had changed a little. The smile whichhad made him fall in love with her was still the same.

The Blue Book of Chinese Teenager Financial(金融的) Study shows that social activities now take up more of teenagers’ spending. The book was about teenagers’ spending habits. It was based on studies in nine cities in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The results show that students are spendingmore and more on their relationships with friends and classmates, such as having meals together and buying birthday gifts. Only one-third of high school students think about the price when choosing gifts. Most say they only care about what their friends like.Xiao Hao, 17, a student at Gaoyou Normal School in Jiangsu, spent more than 1,000 yuan on his birthday meal this February. “They had given me gifts. If I hadn’t done anything in return, I’d have lost face,” Xia said.Xia’s experience is quite usual among the young students. A meal can cost a student’s pocket money for a month. Many just ask more from parents when they use up their money.Zhang Wei, an expert on teenagers’ financial study, suggested that teenagers should learn to make a budget. A budget is a plan of how money will be spent. It helps make decisions about money. To make good use of your money, you can also set a limit. Learn to balance your wants and needs. When choosing gifts for friends, let them know that you care. Sometimes a handmade gift is much better than an expensive one.88.Were there 3 cities in China taking part in the study?(1分)____________，_______________________________________________________.89.

They had to go by Dawson’s house, but as they got close, Janet saw him sitting on his fr ont porch and suggested they cross over the street.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)Happiness is a feeling that lights up your eyes, makes your steps light and makes you want to sing for no reason. Everyone wants to be happy. But sometimes, a guest comes in without invitation. It’s unhappiness. Don’t let it get you down. Send it away.When you are happy, the world feels like a better place. As the saying goes: When yousmile, the world smiles with you; when you cry, you cry alone. Wearing a smile makes you more charming(迷人的)and helps you to win lots of friends. A good mood（心情）always gives you hope, which makes trouble and problems easier to handle.No matter how happy you are, it’s normal to feel angry, sad or gloomy once in a while. Life is full of ups and downs. We can’t change the way life is, but we can do our best to change a bad situation into a good one. To help us do this, it’s good to know some of the factors（因素）that influence happiness.One of the biggest factors is social relationships. People who are close to family and friends are happier than people who don’t have those relationships. Talking and sharing is a good way to relax and build confidence. Knowing someone is there for you will make you braver and more outgoing.Another factor is work or school. If you enjoy school, even if you have lots of homework or extra classes, you will feel that your school life is meaningful and happy. But if you hate school, your negative attitude（消极的态度）may cause you to feel bored and upset that you hate to do so much work.A third factor is your attitude towards life. How do you feel if you fail in an exam? Maybe you think it’s unfair because you always study and should have got a good mark. You can’t stop blaming（责备）yourself. Or, maybe you accept it. You go through the paper carefully, find out why you made stupid mistakes, and tell yourself, “Take it easy! I’ll do better next time!” Your attitude makes a big difference.Do you smile a lot or wear a long face most of the time?88. Happiness is a feeling, isn’t it?____________, _________________________________________________.89. What makes you more charming and gives you hope?_______________________________________________________________.90. What does the underlined sentence mean according to paragraph 3?________________________________________________________________.91. What can we do when we can’t change the way life is?________________________________________________________________.92. How many factors influence happiness? What are they?________________________________________________________________________. 93. How do you make yourself happy in your daily life? Give an example.________________________________________________________________________.Keys: 88. Yes, it is.89. Wearing a smile and a good mood.90. No matter how happy you are, it's normal to feel angry, sad or gloomy once in a while./There are happiness and sadness in our life.91. We can do our best to change a bad situation into a good one.92. Three. Social relationships, work or school and your attitude towards life.93. Any reasonable answer is ok.D.

My other new subject is Spanish. It‟s really difficult to learn a new language but I know it will be useful for me in the future, it I want to travel around the world. Spanish is one of the official languages of the European Union and the United Nations. I‟ve lear nt that Spanish is not only spoken in Europe but also in South America too. Countries like Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Mexico also speak Spanish. You know I‟ve always wanted to go to Mexico, so if I can speak Spanish it would be really useful. Did you study these subjects when you were at school? I suppose subject choice changes over time, doesn‟t it? I‟ll come to visit you again in the next holiday, which I think is in eight weeks‟ time. I‟ll bring you some of my new books if you like. I hope you can write back soon and tell me all the village news. I miss you very much.Lots of love,Sara( D) 1.

I t was almost time for dinner, so he put on his black dinner jacket and bow tie and walked down to the dining hall, wondering if any of his old friends would be there.He walked into the dining hall, and there she was.

Though the weather is bad, Al Gehrke sits 110 floors above the ground, 442 meters above the earth. You may be wondering what he is doing so far off the ground. If you asked him, he would say, “I am just doing my job!”Al Gehrke has a very special job that not many people would want to have. He manages one of the tallest buildings in the world — the Wills Tower in Chicago. His team washes and changes the windows. The Wills Tower has 16, 000 windows and each window weighs over 90 kilos. Gehrke and his team work from seven in the evening until four in the morning. They clean 18 windows each night. Each window takes almost 30 minutes. Al Gehrke is not afraid of high places and he is a good man for the job.Mary Ann also has an unusual job. Instead of hanging high above the earth washing windows, she works under the water. She trains dolphins for shows and also helps people to swim with the dolphins. She lo ves the dolphins. “We never tell a dolphin what to do. We ask them respectfully. They decide to do that for us because of the relationship we have,” she said.Besides washing windows high above the earth or swimming with big fish under the water, there are other unusual jobs that you have probably never thought of people having. Here is another strange example: karaoke singers! A karaoke singer is someone who sings the songs of famous singers. The singer is able to follow the words of the songs because they appear on a computer in front of them. In Cyprus, karaoke singers are very popular. They sing to the people on holiday. As the visitors travel around the island they can listen to the music of the karaoke singers.1．By saying “I am just doing my job” in Paragraph 1, Al Gehrke is most likely to tell us.A．his job is difficult to do B．he is brave and strongC．he can make much money D．his job is nothing special2．According to the third paragraph, Mary Ann .A．considers herself unusual B．teaches people how to swimC．has a great love for dolphins D．works long hours every day3．The writer is trying to introduce some unusual jobs by .A．holding some activities B．offering some examplesC．comparing several ones D．telling some funny storieB14、Would you like to live in a tree? In Western countries, many families build tree houses in their backyard. Kids play, read or party in them. They all love tree houses.But for Alex Gardner, a 13-year-old from the US, it isn’t easy to play in tree houses. Alex sits in a wheelchair. When he was 8, he was injured in a car accident. He isn’t able to get in most tree houses.But things can change. A special tree house was built for disabled (残疾的) kids like Alex. It took 45 volunteers two years to build and $100,000 from several charity groups.Alex helped test the tree house. What’s it like? “Oh, it’s beautiful,” he said.He is lifted up to the house without his wheelchair using a special rope. When he is in the tree house, he is put into a seat that can move.“You can go anywhere in the tree house with the seat.”The large light blue tree house is about 7 meters high. It is too heavy for a tree, so several steel support columns (钢制支柱) were built to hold it up. The house has a lot of other trees around it.“It’s so sweet that they also made the steel support columns look like trees,” said Alex.The space in a tree house is enough for a party. Alex can’t wait to party with his friends in the tree house.1．Many Western families build tree houses for ______ to use.A．parentsB．guestsC．kidsD．volunteers2．It’s hard for Alex to play in tree houses because ______.A．he doesn’t want to climb treesB．he is in a wheelchairC．his family isn’t richD．he is afraid of falling3．How does Alex reach the special tree house?A．He uses a wheelchair.B．He sits in a rising chair.C．He n eeds volunteers’ help.D．He uses a special rope.4．What is the main idea of the story?A．Why tree houses are built in Westerncountries.B．How a disabled boy can use a special tree house.C．What tree houses for kids are like.D．Who built the special tree house.C15、Bike-sharing has swept across China, with an increasing number of people choosing bike riding instead of driving. The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it, and those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smart phone and left anywhere in public. Bike-sharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharing-bikes. It's very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smart phone. First, you have to download such an APP on your smart phone. Then what you need to do is to find a nearest bike through the APP, scan the QR code on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection. You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. What's more, the greatest advantage of bike-sharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesn't cost so much, does it?At the same time, some people park the bikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don't value the bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problem like being stolen.Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles. We have to say bike-sharing brings us more convenience without doubt. And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use.1．From the first paragraph, we know ________.A．bike-sharing is invented in ChinaB．sharing-bikes are used by some peopleC．most people in cities don't driveD．sharing-bikes can be borrowed anywhere2．The underlined word “scan” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________ in Chinese.A．浏览B．扫描C．审视D．细查3．If you want to use a sharing-bike, you must ________ first.A．have a smart phone and download an APPB．download an APP and pay for the tripC．unlock the bike and download an APPD．find a nearest bike and borrow it from anyone4．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?A．Bike-sharing is very cheap.B．Sharing-bikes may be stolen.C．Sharing-bikes are easy to unlock.D．Bike-sharing is a kind of green transport.5．The passage probably comes from a ________.A．science textbook B．tourist guideC．website news report D．restaurant menuD16、Dogs are considered as man’s best friend. But what about cats? Sometimes cats can make equally wonderful friends. The following is a comparison of the two animals.A Friend Helps You When You’re SickA Friend Saves Your Life1．When Alana is about to faint, Tee will ____________.A．stare at her and keep sniffingB．jump onto her chest suddenlyC．sit and stare directly into her faceD．scream and run back and forth2．What can we learn about Ryan?A．He likes swimming in rivers.B．He has a lovely dog, Zion.C．Chelsea helped him swim back to the shore.D．He was in danger when he was found by Chelsea.3．What happened to Bernice?A．She was badly hurt in a big fire.B．She met the brave cat, Joey, in a big fire.C．A fire broke out when she was napping.D．She ran out of the burning house with the help of firemen.E17、When children are little, we make them read aloud, before the teacher and other children, so thatwe can be sure they "know" all the words they are reading. This means that when they don't know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. They may lose face in public. After having taught fifth-gradeclasses for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid (消除) them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously (冒险地).One day soon after school had started, I said to them, "Now I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. ! am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not.

Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me for a long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, "Mr Holt, do you really mean that?" I said just as seriously, "I mean every word of it."During the .spring she really surprised me. One day, she was reading Moby Dick (白鲸) at her desk. I said. "Don't you find parts of it rather heavy going?" She answered, "Oh, sure, but I just skip over (略过) those parts and go on to the next good part."This is exactly what reading should be. an exciting, joyous adventure.

At that time Yangzhou was a famous port and one of few biggest cities in East Asia.With the improvement of the local economy and easy transportation way, there happened in the history a special local culture, which has an important place in Chinese culture. Many famous men of letters, poets, artists, scholars(学者), statesmen, scientists and national heroes in the history were born in, lived in or had connection with Yangzhou. Li Bai, one of the greatest Chinese poets visited and stayed in Yangzhou several times in his life and one of his famous poems about Yangzhou has been so popular that Chinese of all ages can sing it and has become a symbol of Yangzhou . Zheng Banqiao, a famous Chinese painting painter in the Qing Dynasty heading a group called “Eight Eccentrics”, had strongly influenced Chinese paintings. Wang Zhong and Yuan Yuan and some other scholars formed school of Yangzhou Scholars and achieved great success in the study of classic Chinese and writing. Zhu Ziqing, one of most famous modern Chinese writers and scholars, had always been proud of himself as a native of Yangzhou and thanked the city for being nourished(养育) by its rich culture. Quite a few other names you may come across frequently in the study of Chinese culture and history have connection with Yangzhou . Yangzhou was so attractive and important that many Chinese emperors in history had come specially to visit or check the city. Emperor Suiyang, who ordered to cut the Great Canal so that he could come more easily and quickly, died on his last trip to the city and buried(埋葬) here.

Yangzhou：A Historical Culture CityD. Yangzhou：A Famous Tour CityDA recent survey of 2000 parents in Britain showed that they are often afraid of science questions asked by their curious children only because they have no idea what the answer is. Here is a list of some simple questions that you can ask your parents to see if they know the answers.Q: Why is the sky blue?A: You probably know white sunlight is made up of seven colors. While it moves in a straight line when going through space, it starts to divide as it hits ―raised area‖ in the atmosphere. The ones with longest wavelengths pass through easily. The blue , however , can be taken in by the gas molecules (分子) because it has a shorter wavelength , which in turn scatters (使分散) it in different directions. That’s why when you look up at the sky, it appears to be blue.Q:Why does the moon sometimes appear during the daytime?A: The simple answer to that is because just like any other object it is being lit by the sun. As long as it is around 45 degrees or even 90 degrees off the sun, it will receive light and be able to be seen. The only time it is not able to be seen during its 28-day orbit (轨道) around the earth is when it is right between the earth and the sun. That’s because its back , which is not lit by the sun, is facing us.Q: Where do birds/ honeybees go in winter?A: While the bird part is quite easy, since a lot of them get together and travel, the honeybee part is likely to puzzle your parents. It turns out that these busy insects stop being that active when the temperature drops below 50°F. Instead ,they get together in the lower central area of the hive （蜂巢）and form a ball around their queen. This helps keep both warm enough to survive the cold winter months.42. The sky looks blue mainly because the color blue in the sunlight_______.A.has the longest wavelength among all the colorsB.cannot be taken in by the gas moleculesC.does n’t hit ―raised area‖ in the atmosphereD.cannot pass through space successfully43. How long can’t the moon be seen during the daytime in a month?A. 2B. 28C.30D. 3144. What do honeybees choose to do when the temperature drops below 50°F?A.They choose to be active in the wild.B.They choose to keep themselves warm.C.They choose to travel to a warm place.D.They choose to get together in the upper central area of the hive.45. What is NOT explained in the passage?A.Why is the sky blue?B.Why is the moon able to be seen during the daytime?C.Why do birds travel in winter?D.Where do honeybees go in winter?四、词汇运用（共l0小题；每小题l分，计l0分）（每空一词）46.

We may face dangers like walking into desks or chairs, receiving unexpected cuts from a paper knife and so on. Industrial jobs have similar and more dangers like getting body parts hurt by machines or falling from a height.No one wants to get hurt. Some accidents are avoidable(可避免的). Most accidents happen because of common things seen every day—an open desk drawer, a chair pulled out too far, water on the floor and so on. We slowly get used to these things we see every day and never think about what they could possibly become in the future.Think about the following to prevent dangers to yourself and others:1. If there is something you see and know may become a danger for yourself or others, do something about it. Close a desk drawer, clean up or put a sign over the water, turn off the power before leaving, and so on.2. Get extra persons’ help and support on a task that is too hard for a single person.3. Study the situation and think what could possibly happen and change if necessary. Do it before something happens and you won’t have to say some day, ― I should have… How sorry I feel…‖To use an old phrase ― Safety is everyone’s duty.‖ Looking down on it could lead to being hurt. Keep the rule in mind every day ― Everyone wants to go home in the same condition the came to work in –or better.‖It was very cold. It was snowing fast and almost dark; the evening—the last evening of theold year was drawing in. In the cold and darkness there went along the street a poor little girl, w_66__a cap and shoes.
