The next day, the Minister fell to the ground from the horse and really died. When the king learned this, he got angry and sent his men to catch Effendi at once.When Effendi was brought to him, the king shouted angrily, “Effendi, since (既然) you knew when my Minister would die, you must know the date of your own death (死) . Say it out, or you’ll die today.”Effendi looked at the king for a while. Then he answered, “But how can I know?

Owls hunt for mice, insects（昆虫）, and even fish for food. Owls are good at hunting. Their soft feathers（羽毛）enable them to fly nearly silently. They have very good hearing, which helps them to hunt well in the darkness.Owls’ eyes are unusual. B oth of the owl’s eyes face front. The owl cannot move its eyes. Owls are far-sighted, which means they can see very well far away… but they can’t see up close very well at all. Luckily, their eyesight（视力）is what they use for hunting, and they can see far away even in low light. Owls can turn their heads 180 degrees（度）. This makes it look like they might be able to turn their heads all the way around, but 180 degrees is all the owl needs to see what’s going on all aroun d him.Perhaps because of the owl’s mysterious（神秘的）appearance, especially its round eyes and flexible（灵活的）neck, there are a lot of myths（神话）about owls.Many cultures believe that owls are unusually wise. Some cultures think owls may bring bad luck.( )6. What is the eyesight of the owl used for?A. Flying.B. Hunting.C. Sleeping.D. Walking.( )7. Why can owls see things all about them?A. Because they have good eyesight.B. Because they have ears on the sides of their head.C. Because they have eyes on the sides of their head.D.

Owls’ good hearing helps them hunt well.( )9.

What would be a good title for this story?A. Owls Hunt At NightB. Owls Can Fly SilentlyC. Owls Have Flexible NecksD. Owls Are Interesting AnimalsCA Meeting the English FamilyRosa and her classmates were in a street in West London. The sky was dark. This was Rosa’s big day—her first day in England.Rosa got out of a taxi. The driver carried a very heavy bag for her. They walked through the rain to the front door of a big Victorian house.A small girl opened the door. She was four years old. Her brother stood behind her. He was only two years old. One minute later, a young woman came to the door.“Welcome to Wembley!” she said and she offered Rosa her hand. “These are my two children, Elisabeth and Isaac.”Pleased to meet you, Mrs. Frost!”, said Rosa with a strong Spanish accent.The two children ran back into the living room.“Don’t worry about them! They’re a little shy. And please call me Diana! Now let me show you your room and then we can have a nice cup of tea. O r would you like some coffee?”“I’d like to try a cup of English tea, made in England, please.”“This is your bedroom. There’s a nice view of the football stadium(露天体育场)and here’s a little desk where you can study. The bathroom and toilet are just opposite your door. Now I’ll go and put the kettle on.”“Excuse me. What’s a kettle?”“In England, we use a kettle to make hot water. We can then put the hot water in a teapot or use it to make coffee.”Rosa was happy with her new home, but she was a little puzzled(困惑的). Perhaps her mother Maura was right. The British were not normal people. They did not kiss when they met and they lived in large Victorian palaces. Their favorite drink was tea and they used strange metal kettles to make the water hot. What was she going to say to Elisabeth and Isaac? How could she make friends with two shy English children? Perhaps the answer was in the big, black psychology(心理学)book.( )11. It was Rosa’s big day. She and her classmates were in .A. the west part of LondonB. the middle of SpainC. a big Victorian houseD. the living room( )12. Rosa’s hostess(女主人)was called .A. Elisabeth FrostB. Isaac FrostC. Diana FrostD. Maruja Frost( )13. What could Rosa see through the window when she was in her bedroom?A. A garden.B. A football stadium.C. A desk.D. A bathroom.( )14. In this passage the underlined (划底线的)word “it” mea ns .A. a cupB. hot waterC. a teapotD. milk( )15. After reading the passage, we know that .A. Rosa had some trouble in getting on well with the hostessB. the two children didn’t like RosaC. Mr. Frost offered Rosa much helpD. Rosa was happy with the new family, but she couldn’t understand some of theircustomsDIt’s over three years since I began to learn English. I am glad that I am getting on well with it.I find English quite difficult, but very interesting. When I first started, I thought I had only to remember the new words and learn some grammars. I know little about English idioms(习语). I thought each English word has the same meaning in Chinese. When I learned to say “I see a book on the desk”, I thought the English word “see” was just like the Chinese word “kan”. So one day when my teacher asked me, “What are you doing?” I answered, “I’m seeing a book.” “That’s wrong.” The teacher said. “You don’t see a book. You read a book. You can’t use an English word like a Chines e one. Be sure not to make the same mistake again.”After that I began to pay more attention to the differences between Chinese and English. For example, in English we say a “high mountain”, but a “tall man”. In Chinese we use the same word “ gao” for both. Again in English we say “take part in the sports meeting”, “attend a meeting” and “join the army”, while in Chinese we can use “can jia” for all three. Interesting, isn’t it?So to study English doesn’t only mean hard work, it can be great fun, too! We not only have to pay attention to pronunciation, grammar, spelling and handwriting, we also have to understand English idiom. We can learn English well only in that way!But all this is only a beginning and I still have a long way to go. I’ll try my best a nd work even harder than before. I must speak and listen to English more both in and out of class. I must learn English well so that I work well when I grow up.( )16. I have learned English for ________ years.A. oneB. fiveC. threeD. more than three( )17. When I first started English I _______.A. knew more English wordsB. knew some English idiomsC. used an English word like a Chinese oneD. found English easy and interesting ( )18. I began to pay more attention to the differences between Chinese and English ______.A. when I began to learn EnglishB. when I said “I see book on the desk”C. before I began to learn EnglishD. after the teacher told me not to use an English word like a Chinese one( )19. We should speak and listen to English_________.A. only in classB. out of classC. both in and out of classD. either in or out of class( )20. To study English well, we have to ______.A. remember the new words and learn some grammarsB. know the differences between Chinese and EnglishC. pay attention to pronunciation, spelling, handwriting and idiomsD. do all the above things （上面所有的）第二部分非选题50分四阅读填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）1 .
