This set comes with all seven books in the series. Color-changing Lamp Speaker$36.00 With a simple touch, this speaker lamp changes color, plays music and helps them sleep. They can even bring it with them on camping trips since it runs for up to 120 hours.

As soon as I went through the glass doors, I could tell something unusual was happening at the cash register（收银台）. I saw a cashier taking a few items （物品）out of a customer’s bag. The shopper was an old woman. I couldn’t even begin to describe to you how sad this woman looked. I stood there for a second and quickly realized that the cashier was taking items off the bill to cut down the payment. I walked quickly over to the cash register, pointed to the items that she was about to put behind her and then pointed at my bag, showing that I would pay for them. She understood. After putting those items back in the bag at the register, she again went to help the woman with her card, but it still didn’t work. I looked at the screen to see the number, took some cash out of my bag, handed it to the cashier and then quickly walked away. The old woman was a bit nervous about her card and didn’t notice me at all. When the cashier told her that she didn’t have to pay a cent, she was confused（茫然的）. I didn’t walk back into the supermarket, but I felt so proud. I was really happy that I was able to help the old woman out and hopefully bring some joy and happiness into her life. What is happiness? As you can imagine, there are a lot of answers. Some people say that giving is a kind of happiness; it gives people warmth and joy. Some people say that harvest is a kind of happiness; it makes you realize the joy and excitement after the harvest. But I think to help others is a kind of happiness.

It is easy to learn it, but mastering it is another thing. Usually, good paper cutting artists are men.

There were three dads and four teens. The teens, 14 to 16 years old, chatted and laughed. They each were pulling a sled（雪橇）which was full of winter camping gear（用具）. Their dads—Bob Feyen, Jesse Schomberg and Kevin Skwira-Brown—also pulled gear. Even when they were young, the children did their share. “The rules, from the beginning, were that everyone has to pull a sled.” Kevin Skwira-Brown said. “We want them to grow up strong.” In the early years, the children pulled small sleds with just sleeping bags. Now, they pull full-size sleds. For 10 years now, these dads and sons/daughters have been making this journey each winter. “Bob, Kevin and I had done this one winter with our children.” Schomberg said. “The kids thought it was great fun, so we made it a tradition（传统）.” On this 32-degree March afternoon, the group was going to Daniels Lake. They would camp there for three days. They all stayed in Schomberg’s tent. Hannah Feyen told a story about a trip when she was young. “We were walking across a stream one time, and I lost a boot in it. I shouted to dad for help. He just shouted back ‘You can do it!’ and I did.” laughed Hannah. Bob Feyen said they were taking their children to this trip every March. They would keep on the tradition until the teens moved away for college. 54．How many times has the winter trip been held? 55．Why did the dads want to have the trip with their children? 56．If you have a task, would you like to complete it by yourself or with others’ help?

Their dads—Bob Feyen, Jesse Schomberg and Kevin Skwira-Brown—also pulled gear. Even when they were young, the children did their share. “The rules, from the beginning, were that everyone has to pull a sled.” Kevin Skwira-Brown said. “We want them to grow up strong.” In the early years, the children pulled small sleds with just sleeping bags. Now, they pull full-size sleds. For 10 years now, these dads and sons/daughters have been making this journey each winter. “Bob, Kevin and I had done this one winter with our children.” Schomberg said. “The kids thought it was great fun, so we made it a tradition（传统）.” On this 32-degree March afternoon, the group was going to Daniels Lake. They would camp there for three days. They all stayed in Schomberg’s tent. Hannah Feyen told a story about a trip when she was young. “We were walking across a stream one time, and I lost a boot in it. I shouted to dad for help. He just shouted back ‘You can do it!’ and I did.” laughed Hannah. Bob Feyen said they were taking their children to this trip every March. They would keep on the tradition until the teens moved away for college. 54．How many times has the winter trip been held? 55．Why did the dads want to have the trip with their children? 56．If you have a task, would you like to complete it by yourself or with others’ help?

The shopper was an old woman. I couldn’t even begin to describe to you how sad this woman looked.

Because the cut-outs (图案) are also used to decorate windows, they are sometimes called “chuanghua” or Window Flower. They are supposed to bring people good luck, health and happiness. In the Han Dynasty (朝代), paper began as a precious (珍贵的) thing, so few people could use paper for art. From the 7th to 13th century, paper cutting became so popular that almost all the families decorated their houses with cut-outs during festivals. The art spread to the whole world in the 14th century, immediately catching people’s eyes. In the past, every girl in the countryside was expected to master the skill of paper cutting. It is easy to learn it, but mastering it is another thing. Usually, good paper cutting artists are men.

People will meet colder weather because the air gets wet very fast.”可知，在雨水期间，人们也要注意会遇到更冷的天气，选项D“因此，雨水时最好穿上保暖的衣服。”符合语境。故选D。 29．根据“Parents in the past believed that finding a nominal father would give kids healthy growth.”可知，父母认为在此期间给孩子找干爸会让孩子健康成长，选项G“所以他们想要一个干爸来表达他们对孩子的良好祝愿。”符合语境。故选G。 30．根据“So a bowl of nutritious porridge with Chinese herb medicine is the best way to warm the body. ”可知，此处提到了雨水期间喝营养粥对身体有好处，选项F“北京人经常在雨水的时候喝这种粥。”符合语境。故选F。 第四部分 词汇运用（共13小题；每小题1分，满分13分） 第一节根据下列句子所给汉语注释或首字母，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式，每空限填一词。 31．Without modern machines, (挖) such a big hole wasn’t an easy task in the past. 32．Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice, has a lot of (经验) in growing rice. 33．I am feeling even (自豪) of my motherland after overcoming the difficulty of virus. 34．In Shanghai, things must be (分隔) into different groups and then recycled. 35．There seems to be a child there. He has lost his legs and sits in the wheelchair. 36．— Look at Lucy! How weak she is! — Well, she never eats p and that’s why she is not healthy. 37．Go away! Whatever I do is none of your b ! 38．Husbands should care more about their w feelings. 31．digging 【详解】句意：没有现代机器，挖这么大的洞在过去并不是一件容易的事。“挖”英文表达是dig，动词；设空处在句中作主语，因此用其动名词形式，故填digging。 32．experience 【详解】句意：杂交水稻之父袁隆平在种植水稻方面有丰富的经验。根据“a lot of”可知，此空需要一个名词，结合中文提示，experience符合句意；而“experience”作经验讲时，是不可数名词。故填experience。 33．prouder 【详解】句意：在克服了病毒的困难之后，我更为我的祖国感到骄傲。根据“feel”一词可知，此空需要一个形容词；根据“even”可知，此空需要形容词的比较级；结合中文提示，prouder符合句意。故填prouder。 34．separated/divided 【详解】句意：在上海，物品必须分门别类，然后再回收利用。separate/divide分隔，动词，在句中作谓语，主语“things”与之构成动宾关系，用被动语态。此句含有情态动词must，其被动语态构成为“must be+过去分词”，此处表示“必须被分隔”，故填separated/divided。 35．disabled 【详解】句意：那里似乎有一个残疾儿童。他失去了双腿，坐在轮椅上。根据“He has lost his legs and sits in the wheelchair.”可知，是残疾儿童，需要形容词修饰名词，disabled“残疾的”符合句意，故填disabled。 36．(p)roperly 【详解】句意：——看看露西！她多么虚弱！——嗯，她从不正确饮食，这就是她不健康的原因。根据首字母和“that’s why she is not healthy”可知，她饮食从不正确导致不健康，properly“正确地”，副词修饰动词“eats”。故填(p)roperly。 37．(b)usiness 【详解】句意：走开！我做什么都不关你的事！根据“none of your b…”可知，none of your business“不关你的事”，故填(b)usiness。 38．(w)ives’ 【详解】句意：丈夫应该更多地关心他们妻子的感受。根据主语“Husbands”及首字母提示可知，是指丈夫应该关心妻子的感受，且wife应用复数形式wives；又因为此处修饰名词feeling，应用名词所有格形式，为wives’，故填(w)ives’。 第二节请认真阅读下面短文，从方框中选择适当的单词或短语，在答题卡标有题号的横线上、填入其正确形式。每个单词或短语仅用一次。 care    artist    win    you    proud It was at a show of the 39 works organized by the Red Cross. Two cute girls of 16 or 17 years old came to me and asked me for my signature (签名). I could see they were very excited. Of course, their excitement also made me feel 40 and happier. One of the girls handed her notebook to me. I turned over the cover of the notebook, writing a few words of encouragement and signed my name. The girl read my signature, frowned (皱眉), looked at me 41 and asked, “Aren’t you Robert Charboss?” “No,” I told her excitedly, “I’m the author of Alice Adams, the 42 of two Pulitzer Prizes.” The young girl turned to the other and said, “Mary, lend your rubber to me.” At that moment, all my pride turned into a bubble immediately. Since then, I always remind myself: no matter how outstanding you are, don’t think highly of 43 . 39．artists’ 40．prouder 41．carefully 42．winner 43．yourself 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者在艺术家作品展上遇到了两个女孩要签名，看到作者的签名，作者很骄傲地介绍自己，而其中一个女孩意识到认错人了，向另外一个女孩借橡皮把作者的签名擦掉，从这个经历上作者想告诉我们：不管你有多优秀，都不要把自己看得太高。 39．句意：那是在红十字会组织的艺术家作品展上。根据“a show of the … works”及备选词可知，此处指艺术家作品展上，此空修饰名词works，应填artist的复数名词所有格形式，故填artists’。 40．句意：当然，他们的兴奋也让我感到更加骄傲和快乐。根据“happier”可知，此空应填形容词比较级，备选词proud的比较级prouder符合，故填prouder。 41．句意：女孩读了我的签名，皱起眉头，仔细地看着我，问道。根据“Aren’t you Robert Charboss”可知，看到作者的签名，并不是自己认为的那个人，所以此处指女孩仔细地看着作者，副词carefully修饰动词短语looked at，故填carefully。 42．句意：我是《爱丽丝·亚当斯》的作者，曾两次获得普利策奖。根据“the…of two Pulitzer Prizes”及备选词可知，普利策奖的获奖者，winner“获胜的人”，故填winner。 43．句意：不管你有多优秀，都不要把自己看得太高。根据“no matter how outstanding you are, don’t think highly of”可知，不要把你自己看得太高，此空应填反身代词yourself，故填yourself。 第五部分 短文填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 请认真阅读下面短文，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Today is Saturday.

She is much 49 (crazy) about reading books than me. And I think we can make our 50 (communicate) much easier by reading. Last year, I strongly recommended Journey to the West to her.

There were three dads and four teens. The teens, 14 to 16 years old, chatted and laughed. They each were pulling a sled（雪橇）which was full of winter camping gear（用具）. Their dads—Bob Feyen, Jesse Schomberg and Kevin Skwira-Brown—also pulled gear. Even when they were young, the children did their share. “The rules, from the beginning, were that everyone has to pull a sled.” Kevin Skwira-Brown said. “We want them to grow up strong.” In the early years, the children pulled small sleds with just sleeping bags. Now, they pull full-size sleds. For 10 years now, these dads and sons/daughters have been making this journey each winter. “Bob, Kevin and I had done this one winter with our children.” Schomberg said. “The kids thought it was great fun, so we made it a tradition（传统）.” On this 32-degree March afternoon, the group was going to Daniels Lake. They would camp there for three days. They all stayed in Schomberg’s tent. Hannah Feyen told a story about a trip when she was young. “We were walking across a stream one time, and I lost a boot in it. I shouted to dad for help. He just shouted back ‘You can do it!’ and I did.” laughed Hannah. Bob Feyen said they were taking their children to this trip every March. They would keep on the tradition until the teens moved away for college. 54．How many times has the winter trip been held? 55．Why did the dads want to have the trip with their children? 56．If you have a task, would you like to complete it by yourself or with others’ help? Why? 54．Ten. 55．Because they want their children to grow up strong. 56．I’d love to complete with others’ help because “many hands make light work”. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了三位爸爸每年冬天带孩子露营以锻炼他们意志的故事。 54．根据“For 10 years now, these dads and sons/daughters have been making this journey each winter.”可知，这项活动持续了十年。故填Ten. 55．根据“We want them to grow up strong.”可知，爸爸们带孩子冬天露营的目的是让他们坚强地成长。故填Because they want their children to grow up strong. 56．开放性问题。答案言之有理即可。参考答案为：I’d love to complete with others’ help because “many hands make light work”. 第七部分 书面表达（共1题；满分25分） 57．你们学校一直倡导“环保生活，从我做起”，准备成立学校志愿服务队(voluntary team)，招募学生环保志愿者。假如你是李华，请用英语给服务队的负责人写一封电子邮件，申请成为其中一员。 内容包括： 1.

I would like to join the school voluntary team to help protect our environment. In my opinion, going green plays a very important role in our life. In my daily life, I often try my best to reduce pollution. For example, I always remember to take my own bags when shopping instead of plastic bags. As we all know, it may take a plastic bag hundreds of years to break down. What’s more, I know the importance of saving energy, so I always turn off the tap when brushing my teeth and turn off the lights when I leave a room. I also plant flowers at home to live a green life.
