Martina looked out of the window. A robin was singing a lively song in the tree. At this time, Grandpa, who lived with the family since Grandma had died, came in. He looked at the floor as if looking for something. He said, "When the robin sings..." he stopped, trying to remember what he had started to say.

"Spring is here," Mum finished the sentence. "And I'm thinking of our spring cleaning," Mum suggested. "Martina, you can help me, right?" Martina agreed unwillingly.

They cleaned the house. They cleaned upstairs, downstairs, inside, outside, until everything was

clean. Then Mum pointed to Grandpa's sofa and shouted. "That old sofa has got to go. We'll buy Grandpa a new one."

It was true and Martina had to agree. The sofa was really old. As they tried to move the sofa, Grandpa stood in their way. "You can't take my sofa," he shouted.

"It's old," Mum said. Grandpa tried to push his sofa back into place. "We'll buy you a new one," Mum promised.

"I don't want a new one," Grandpa insisted. Mum let go of the sofa. "We'll talk about it tonight when John gets home." John, Martina's dad, was still at work.

"Why don't you let us take away the sofa? It's too old! " Martina asked when the family were having supper. Grandpa shook his head and said, "I sat in this sofa, with your grandma right here, when I asked her to marry me. It was so long ago, but when I sit in this sofa and close my eyes I feel she is near."

"It's amazing," Martina thought, "how Grandpa can remember things from the past. These days he forgets almost everything."

The old man smiled to Martina and went on. "And the night your father was born, I sat in this sofa. I was nervous when they placed the little baby into my arms.”

"I think I'm beginning to understand," Martina said. "Many years later," Grandpa continued, "I sat in this sofa when the doctor called and told me that your grandma was ill. I was lost without her, but the sofa gave me the comfort."

"I do see now," Martina looked at Grandpa. "This is not just an old sofa. This sofa is more like a friend." "Yes," Grandpa added. "We've got through a lot together."

Dear Mr Scott,

I expect you may be slightly surprised to receive a letter from your next-door neighbour, but I have to raise a theme that it will be easier for me to discuss in writing.

You may have noticed that I have a line of apple trees running along the fence （栅栏）that separates our two gardens. You may also have felt happy when you see your two children sitting on your grass by the fence. And you may also have noticed that my apple trees bend over the fence and seem to look down at your children with interest.

It is only natural that your children should sometimes seem to return that interest. And it is quite legal （合法的）for them to show that interest by picking all the apples that hang over on your side of the fence. But to tell you the truth, Mr Scott, I am tired of seeing your children, day after day, destroy the branches of every one of my apple trees. And it seems that a war has been fought on one side of my apple trees. Besides, I am more tired of waking up on these fine autumn mornings to find even the apples on MY side of the fence much less in number. I know this too is the work of your children, since last night I was woken at midnight by the noise they were making when climbing one of my trees, and (as they may have told you) I drove them away.

Yours sincerely,

Becky Aldrin

A complaint letter. B. An invitation letter.

C. A thank-you letter.

D. A recommendation letter.

39. Which season was it?

A. Spring.

C. Autumn.

D. Winter.

40. What did the two children do last night?

A. They sat on the grass.

B. They ran along the fence.

C. They destroyed the branches.

D. They climbed an apple tree.

41. How was Becky Aldrin when she wrote this letter?

A. Polite but serious.

B. Surprised but happy.

C. Angry and rude.

D. Tired and uninterested.

42. What did Becky Aldrin wish Mr Scott to do next?

A. Be kind to his neighbour.

B. Make friends with his children.

C. Have a talk with his children.

D. Grow apple trees in his garden.

(2018·江苏徐州) You may think that English dictionaries have been used for many, many centuries. The spelling of English has always been a problem, but it was more of a problem in the days before a dictionary. In those days people spelt words in different ways which you might find interesting. But it made reading English much more difficult. So dictionaries were invented to encourage everybody to spell the same. In fact, an English dictionary like the kind you use today wasn't made until the time of the Qing Dynasty.

The largest dictionary in the world is the Oxford English Dictionary, or OED for short. The idea for this dictionary came from an important meeting in Britain in 1857. Twenty-two years later, Oxford University asked James Murray to be the editor of its new dictionary.

Murray had not been to college. At the age of fourteen, he left his village school in Scotland and taught himself while working in a bank. Later he became a great teacher. After Oxford gave him the job, Murray had a place built in the garden behind his house to do his work. Part of it was one metre underground. In winter he had to wear a heavy coat and put his feet in a box to keep warm. Every morning, Murray got out of bed at five o'clock and worked several hours before breakfast. Often he would work by candle light into the evening.

Murray hoped to finish the new dictionary in ten years. But after five years, he was still adding words for the letter A! Then others went to work with Murray, and his two daughters were among them. He worked on the dictionary until he was very old. Forty-four years later, in 1928, other editors finished it. It had more than 15,000 words in twelve books. And you thought

One possible version A:

My favourite English saying

My favourite English saying is many hands make light work. It means if lots of people share the work, it will make a job easier to complete.

Last term, our class decided to give a charity show to help children in poor areas. It was difficult to get everything ready in a short time. Luckily, all my classmates worked together and shared the work. Some students handed out leaflets, others prepared the costumes, and others helped download the music. I'm good at singing, so I sang a song while my best friend played the guitar.

The charity show turned out to be a great success. We all realized that the success belonged to every one of us. Teamwork really works!

One possible version B:

My favourite English saying

My favourite English saying is practice makes perfect. It means if you keep practicing, you will be better at it.

When I was very young, I wasn’t interested in drawing. Paintings and drawing looked all the same to me. My mum was patient and she asked me to draw whatever I liked. At first it was difficult. When I finished drawing a tiger, it looked like a cat! I didn't give up though. I practiced every day. Once I kept drawing an egg for a week! Day by day I made steady progress. Then one day my art teacher praised me. How proud I was! I practised even harder than before. I want to be a famous artist like Qi Baishi in the future

When my friends say that I am a born artist, I will smile and say," It is practice that really works!”
