B In Miss Lee’s class, the students are asked to discuss the topic “Do you do housework at home?” in groups. Here’s what the students of Group One say. Tommy: No, I have no time. Schoolwork almost takes all of my time! How can I spend such precious (宝贵的) time doing housework? Helen: I help my mother with our housework, but she must pay me. I don’t enjoy doing that. It doesn’t do any good to me in any way. Linda: Doing some housework not only helps my parents but also helps myself. It is a chance for me to take a break from my schoolwork and to learn some skills for my future. Also, it’s a chance to show my love and care for my parents. Emily: To tell you the truth, I hardly ever do housework at home. My parents say a nice girl should learn to do housework if she wants to be a good wife (妻子) in the future, but I don’t think so. Why can’t I hire (雇佣) a housekeeper then? 28．Who likes doing housework at home? A．Tommy. B．Helen. C．Linda. D．Emily. 29．What does Helen do housework for? A．To get some money. B．To learn to be a good wife in the future. C．To learn some skills. D．To show her love and care for her parents. 30．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Linda isn’t interested in her schoolwork at all. B．Tommy spends almost all of his time on schoolwork. C．Emily says she will learn to do housework in the future. D．Emily’s parents think housework is the most important for a wife. C If the eyes are the windows of the soul, then the body is the mirror of the feelings. If we are feeling great, we may give out our body signals (信号). If we look at someone else’s body, we can often know how they are feeling by their body signals. So I think reading body language signals is a helpful tool in daily communication. It can help us communicate with others more easily if we use it in the right way. Here are some numbers for you to know how important it is to read and use body language. 7% of the information we receive is from what people say, and 38% of the information we receive is from the tone (语调) and the speed of their voice; while 55% of the information we receive is from their body language. These non-verbal (非口头的) signals will help you a lot, but you still need to pay attention to what people are saying. If you pay too much attention on their body language signals, you and the people may feel uncomfortable. It is useful to learn how to send the right signals and avoid the wrong signals, and it is useful to be able to read people’s body language too. Body language may have some interpretations. Many signals have different meanings. It depends on the person, the situation and the culture. For example, in the US, people wave goodbye with the palm (手掌) facing the person they’re waving to. But in other cultures, people may wave goodbye with the palm up to the sky, and the fingers opening and closing. To people in the US, this might look like a gesture asking someone to come closer. So you have to be sure of the meaning when you are trying to read a body language signal… 31．What does the writer think of body language? A．It is simple to learn. B．It is hard to understand. C．It is difficult to be used. D．It is helpful in communication. 32．The underlined word “interpretations” in Paragraph 4 means ________. A．names B．excuses C．meanings D．thoughts 33．What will the writer most probably talk about in the next paragraph? A．What the wrong body language signals are. B．How to understand body language correctly. C．Why people wrongly understand body language. D．Numbers of people wrongly using body language. D Doctors recommend that kids should do outdoor activities and play with their parents. However, that doesn’t mean TV has to be taken out of their family life. There are some educational TV programs that help your children learn. Take a look at these four TV programs that your kids should watch.      Sesame Street As one of the longest children’s shows on TV, Sesame Street is still a favourite with parents. It teaches kids about sharing, being a good friend, and other important values. In addition, words and letters are introduced through scenes and songs with favourite characters like Elmo, Big Bird, Zoe, and Cookie Monster. You will probably enjoy watching this show as a kid, and your children will too. Sesame Street has been aired (播放) on PBS since 1969.      Super Why! What kid doesn’t like a superhero? Well, Super Why! has four of them: Alpha Pig with Alphabet Power, Princess Presto with Spelling Power, Wonder Red with Word Power, and Super Why with the Power to Read. This TV show teaches kids how to put letters together to make words and how to pronounce (发音) words when reading. It’s great for kids from the preschool (学前) to second grade. Super Why! has been aired on PBS and PBS Kids Sprout since 2008.      Thomas and Friends Based on the railway series books by Reverend Wilbert Awdry. Thomas and Friends follows the story of locomotive (火车头) friends on Sodor Island. There are large engines (发动机) and small engines. It teaches kids to accept others for who they are and always do their best in everything. After all, the popular sentence of the show is “I think I can.” Thomas and Friends has been aired since 1984. Based on a classic children’s book series by Marc Brown. Arthur is about an eight-year-old boy named Arthur from Elwood City. He has to deal with several situations that many children face today. For example, the show explores several health-related and social problems, such as cancer and other disabilities. The stories, along with the song “Believe in Yourself”, teach kids how to deal with these problems and accept everyone. Arthur has been aired on PBS since 1996. 34．Which TV program can teach kids about sharing, being a good friend, and other important values according to the passage? A．Sesame Street. B．Super Why!

Almost everyone worries about them and feels stressed (紧张的), although they have prepared well. A little stress caused by the exams is useful as it can open your mind and help you do well. But too much stress can stop you working to the best of your abilities, so it’s important not to let it get out of control (失控). Here are some ideas to help you. The keys to being prepared for exams and avoiding unnecessary (不必要的) exam stress are knowing what you need to know, planning and preparing for your revision (复习) and giving yourself enough time to do it. Make a week-by-week revision timetable chart to show in your work space. Include the topics you need to cover for each subject. About 12 weeks before your first exam, record the dates and times for each of your exams in your planner or diary and make a copy to put on your wall at home. During your exam period, you want your brain to work at its very best so build in relaxation time before bed, avoid late night revision and try to go to bed early so you get enough sleep. If you have difficulty answering a question, leave it and move on to the next one—don’t spend time tying yourself in mental (思想上的) problems over each question. You are not alone while dealing with the stress. Tell to your teachers about your worries and get help from others going through the same things. Remember that there is life after exams. Things may feel stressful right now, but it won’t last forever. And then the rest of your life will still be there. The Exam Stress Situation      54 about exams is a real fact for almost everyone at school. Problem     Though a little exam stress does good to you, too much may make you 55 to work as well as you can.

Almost everyone worries about them and feels stressed (紧张的), although they have prepared well. A little stress caused by the exams is useful as it can open your mind and help you do well. But too much stress can stop you working to the best of your abilities, so it’s important not to let it get out of control (失控). Here are some ideas to help you. The keys to being prepared for exams and avoiding unnecessary (不必要的) exam stress are knowing what you need to know, planning and preparing for your revision (复习) and giving yourself enough time to do it. Make a week-by-week revision timetable chart to show in your work space. Include the topics you need to cover for each subject. About 12 weeks before your first exam, record the dates and times for each of your exams in your planner or diary and make a copy to put on your wall at home. During your exam period, you want your brain to work at its very best so build in relaxation time before bed, avoid late night revision and try to go to bed early so you get enough sleep. If you have difficulty answering a question, leave it and move on to the next one—don’t spend time tying yourself in mental (思想上的) problems over each question. You are not alone while dealing with the stress. Tell to your teachers about your worries and get help from others going through the same things. Remember that there is life after exams. Things may feel stressful right now, but it won’t last forever. And then the rest of your life will still be there.

If we are feeling great, we may give out our body signals (信号). If we look at someone else’s body, we can often know how they are feeling by their body signals. So I think reading body language signals is a helpful tool in daily communication. It can help us communicate with others more easily if we use it in the right way. Here are some numbers for you to know how important it is to read and use body language. 7% of the information we receive is from what people say, and 38% of the information we receive is from the tone (语调) and the speed of their voice; while 55% of the information we receive is from their body language. These non-verbal (非口头的) signals will help you a lot, but you still need to pay attention to what people are saying. If you pay too much attention on their body language signals, you and the people may feel uncomfortable. It is useful to learn how to send the right signals and avoid the wrong signals, and it is useful to be able to read people’s body language too. Body language may have some interpretations. Many signals have different meanings. It depends on the person, the situation and the culture. For example, in the US, people wave goodbye with the palm (手掌) facing the person they’re waving to. But in other cultures, people may wave goodbye with the palm up to the sky, and the fingers opening and closing. To people in the US, this might look like a gesture asking someone to come closer. So you have to be sure of the meaning when you are trying to read a body language signal… 31．What does the writer think of body language? A．It is simple to learn. B．It is hard to understand. C．It is difficult to be used. D．It is helpful in communication. 32．The underlined word “interpretations” in Paragraph 4 means ________. A．names B．excuses C．meanings D．thoughts 33．What will the writer most probably talk about in the next paragraph? A．What the wrong body language signals are. B．How to understand body language correctly. C．Why people wrongly understand body language. D．Numbers of people wrongly using body language. 31．D 32．C 33．B 【导语】本文讲述了身体语言可以有不同的解释。许多身体语言都有不同的意义，以及读懂身体语言的重要性。 31．细节理解题。根据第一段中“So I think reading body language signals is a helpful tool in daily communication. It can help us communicate with others more easily if we use it in the right way.”可知，理解肢体语言信号是日常交流中一个有用的工具，如果我们以正确的方式使用它，它可以帮助我们更容易地与他人沟通；所以作者认为肢体语言有助于交流。故选D。 32．词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Body language may have some interpretations. Many signals have different meanings.”可知，肢体语言可能有一些不同的含义，可推测出“interpretations”意为“解释”，与“meanings”意思相近。故选C。 33．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Body language may have some interpretations.

However, that doesn’t mean TV has to be taken out of their family life. There are some educational TV programs that help your children learn.

It teaches kids about sharing, being a good friend, and other important values. In addition, words and letters are introduced through scenes and songs with favourite characters like Elmo, Big Bird, Zoe, and Cookie Monster. You will probably enjoy watching this show as a kid, and your children will too. Sesame Street has been aired (播放) on PBS since 1969.      Super Why! What kid doesn’t like a superhero? Well, Super Why! has four of them: Alpha Pig with Alphabet Power, Princess Presto with Spelling Power, Wonder Red with Word Power, and Super Why with the Power to Read. This TV show teaches kids how to put letters together to make words and how to pronounce (发音) words when reading. It’s great for kids from the preschool (学前) to second grade. Super Why! has been aired on PBS and PBS Kids Sprout since 2008.      Thomas and Friends Based on the railway series books by Reverend Wilbert Awdry. Thomas and Friends follows the story of locomotive (火车头) friends on Sodor Island. There are large engines (发动机) and small engines. It teaches kids to accept others for who they are and always do their best in everything. After all, the popular sentence of the show is “I think I can.” Thomas and Friends has been aired since 1984. Based on a classic children’s book series by Marc Brown. Arthur is about an eight-year-old boy named Arthur from Elwood City. He has to deal with several situations that many children face today. For example, the show explores several health-related and social problems, such as cancer and other disabilities. The stories, along with the song “Believe in Yourself”, teach kids how to deal with these problems and accept everyone.

Almost everyone worries about them and feels stressed (紧张的), although they have prepared well. A little stress caused by the exams is useful as it can open your mind and help you do well. But too much stress can stop you working to the best of your abilities, so it’s important not to let it get out of control (失控). Here are some ideas to help you. The keys to being prepared for exams and avoiding unnecessary (不必要的) exam stress are knowing what you need to know, planning and preparing for your revision (复习) and giving yourself enough time to do it. Make a week-by-week revision timetable chart to show in your work space. Include the topics you need to cover for each subject. About 12 weeks before your first exam, record the dates and times for each of your exams in your planner or diary and make a copy to put on your wall at home. During your exam period, you want your brain to work at its very best so build in relaxation time before bed, avoid late night revision and try to go to bed early so you get enough sleep. If you have difficulty answering a question, leave it and move on to the next one—don’t spend time tying yourself in mental (思想上的) problems over each question. You are not alone while dealing with the stress. Tell to your teachers about your worries and get help from others going through the same things. Remember that there is life after exams. Things may feel stressful right now, but it won’t last forever. And then the rest of your life will still be there. The Exam Stress Situation      54 about exams is a real fact for almost everyone at school. Problem     Though a little exam stress does good to you, too much may make you 55 to work as well as you can. How to control exam stress     Get 56 for the exams well and it can help stop you from worries.     Make a revision timetable chart for every subject to show in your work space, including important topics.     Prepare for your exams 57 and make yourself remember the dates and times for each exam.     Make yourself relaxed before bedtime and get enough sleep.     If you meet difficult questions, just move on, 58 of spending too much time on it.     Ask for help.     Remember stress will disappear but your life will go on. 54．Worrying 55．unable 56．ready 57．early/earlier 58．instead 【导语】本文是关于如何缓解考试压力的一些建议。 54．根据“Exams are a fact of school life for most people. Almost everyone worries about them and feels stressed (紧张的)”可知，对学校里几乎每个人来说，担心考试是一个事实；worry about“担心”，动词短语，此处作主语，应用动名词，句首首字母大写。故填Worrying。 55．根据“But too much stress can stop you working to the best of your abilities”可知，太多的压力会阻止你发挥出最好的能力，即不能使你发挥很好；unable“不能的”，符合语境。故填unable。 56．根据“The keys to being prepared for exams and avoiding unnecessary (不必要的) exam stress are knowing what you need to know, planning and preparing for your revision (复习) and giving yourself enough time to do it.”可知，此处是说为考试作准备；结合题干可知，get ready for“为……作准备”，固定短语。故填ready。 57．根据“About 12 weeks before your first exam, record the dates and times for each of your exams in your planner or diary and make a copy to put on your wall at home.”可知，提前准备考试，让自己记住每次考试的日期和时间；early“早”/earlier“更早”，符合语境。故填early/earlier。 58．根据“If you have difficulty answering a question, leave it and move on to the next one—don’t spend time tying yourself in mental (思想上的) problems over each question.”可知，遇到难题，要继续往下做，而不是在上面花太多时间；instead of“代替，而不是”，介词短语。故填instead。 七、完成句子  按所给的汉语，用英语完成下列句子，并将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。(本大题共6小题，每小题1.5分，共9分) 59．任何事任何人都不能阻挡我。 Nothing and no one can stand . 60．我们都认为彼此尽可能经常地保持联系是重要的。 We all think it important each other as often as possible. 61．几年前，这座城市由几个村庄组成。 A few years ago, this city villages. 62．我女儿已经习惯了通过发电子邮件和她的朋友们交流。 My daughter has already with her friends by sending emails. 63．爸爸去成都出差一个半月了。 My dad in Chengdu for one and a half hours. 64．当孩子们看到滑稽的小丑时，忍不住大笑起来。 When kids saw the funny clown, they . 59．in my way 【详解】阻挡：in one’s way，我的：my，故填in my way。 60．to keep in touch with 【详解】中英文对照可知，句子缺“保持联系”的英文表达，keep in touch with“和……保持联系”，固定搭配；根据“it’s important... each other”可知，此处使用it固定句型it’s+形容词+to do sth.，表示“做某事是……的”，it是形式主语，to do sth.是真正的主语。故填to keep in touch with。 61．was made up of several/was made up of a couple of 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，空处缺少“由几个……组成”，be made up of意为“由……组成”，根据时间状语A few years ago可知，时态为一般过去时，主语是单数名词，be动词用was，“几个”对应的英文是：several或a couple of。故填was made up of several/a couple of。 62．got used to communicating/gotten used to communicating 【详解】get used to doing sth.“习惯做某事”，communicate“交流”。根据“has already...”可知，本句时态为现在完成时has done结构，所以get用过去分词形式got/gotten，communicate用动名词形式。故填got used to communicating/gotten used to communicating。 63．has been on business 【详解】出差：be on business；根据“for half one and a half hours”可知句子用现在完成时，主语是My dad，助动词用has。故填has been on business。 64．couldn’t stop laughing 【详解】忍不住做某事：can’t stop doing sth.，根据“saw”可知此处用一般过去时，can’t改为couldn’t；笑：laugh。故填couldn’t stop laughing。 八、书面表达 (本大题共 20分) 65．假如你叫玛丽，你的笔友汤姆打算到无锡旅游，他想了解无锡的情况。请你根据提示，并适当发挥，写一封邮件介绍无锡的情况。 注意事项： 1. 邮件内容根据图示自拟，要求语句通顺、意思连贯、符合题意、不得使用真实信息。 2. 词数在90词左右，邮件的首尾已在答题卡上给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Tom, Glad to hear from you.
