I don’t think I will pass this exam,” said Anne. “Yes, you will. I want to go with you, imagine how much fun it will be.” “Yes, but I will have to study a lot. It was so nice of your Aunt Josephine to ask me to stay at her house,” said Anne. “You’ll write to me, won’t you?” asked Diana. Anne went to Aunt Josephine’s house on Monday. On Wednesday Diana went to the post office. There was a letter from Anne. Dear Diana, It’s Tuesday night and I’m writing this from Aunt Josephine’s house. Last night I was really lonely in my room without you. This morning I went to the Academy. There were lots of students. People were doing funny things before the exam. One boy was talking to himself. Then we went into the exam. Some of the girls looked so relaxed. My heart was beating so quickly. Then we did the English exam. Diana, I felt like I did four years ago when I asked Marilla about staying at Green Gables. In the afternoon we had a history exam. I think I did OK. But Diana, tomorrow we have geometry. I am worried about that. The exams finished and Anne went home on Friday evening. She was very tired and happy. Diana was waiting. “It’s wonderful to see you. I miss you. Did you do well?” asked Diana. “I think so, except with geometry. I don’t think I passed. It’s so good to be back. Green Gables is the best place in the world,” said Anne. “When do you get the results?” asked Diana. “In two weeks. They’ll be in the newspaper. Two weeks of waiting,” said Anne. “You’ll pass. Don’t worry.” “I want to pass with a high score or not at all,” said Anne. She seemed angry. Diana understood that Anne wanted a high score than Gilbert. Anne and Gilbert were in competition with each other. They saw each other but didn’t speak. It was like they were strangers. Anne secretly wished that she was friends with Gilbert again. But she also wanted to get a higher score than him in the exam. Everyone thought Gilbert was going to get the highest score. She wanted to make Matthew and Marilla proud. Well mostly Matthew. The results were late. Finally after three weeks of waiting, they arrived. Diana came running to the house with a newspaper. “Anne, you’ve passed. You and Gilbert. You’re equal firsts,” said Diana. Anne took the newspaper. Yes, their names were at the top of a list of two hundred pupils. (Adapted from Anne of Green Gables) 47. How long did Anne stay in Aunt Josephine’s house? A. Two days B.

It also means taking special steps to protect the environment. Buying a green product is a small step, everyone can take. Deciding whether a product is green, however, isn't always easy. We need to consider the whole life cycle of the product, even after it's useless. Here is what we may keep in mind. The materials of a product are usually our first focus. What is it made of? Are there any harmful chemicals in it? Green products are made of more natural materials which are free from harmful chemicals, so they can be good for our physical health. Packing（包装）is important. How is a product packed? Is it over-packed? We’d better choose glass, metal and paper packing, as these can be reused or more easily recycled. We can also look for less packing or even choose unpacked products whenever possible. Location matters. Where was the product produced? Where are we buy it? Think about how much energy was used to get it to us, try to choose local products. When it comes to food, it is a good idea to order directly from local farmers, shop at markets and buy fruits in season. Buying from stores near our houses is also a good choice, because we can go there without driving a car. Look into what the company tells us about their product. It’s easy to say that a product is “green” or “all natural”, but the words may be too good to be true. So, much of the information about a product should be taken with a grain of salt. After all, companies try to make us believe that their products are environmentally responsible. The greenest thing is certainly the one we don’t buy. Things like food and clothing are necessary for life. But many others are not. Better than buying is choosing to leave an unnecessary product in the store and doing without. It sends a message to the producer, keep money in our pockets, reduces waste and keeps the planet healthy. 51. What do we know from Paragraph 1? A. Green is just a kind of color. B. It is a big step to buy a green product. C. Deciding if a product is green is easy. D. Green also means taking action to protect the environment. 52. What is talked about in Paragraph 2? A. Why we first focus materials of a product. B. How a product is packet. C. What green products are made of. D. Where a product is produced. 53. To be green, we'd better choose this kind of Peking except __________. A. glass B. plastic C. paper D. metal 54. According to the writer, we should choose a product that is __________. A. made of unnatural materials B. produced abroad C. locally produced D. over packed 55. What is the best title for the passage? A. Reducing Energy Use B. Keeping Healthy C. Recycling Waste D.

About a week b 66 my birthday, my father said he would give me a special gift. So I was looking forward to 67 (receive) my father's gift. On the early morning of last Friday.

At the end of my birthday, I f 74 realized what the special gift was. I decided to study 75 (hard) than I used to. 第2节 阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题。（本节共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） Last year my school tried a new way to get students to behave better in class. It is called the “secret student”, and the idea isn’t to punish bad behavior but reward (奖励) good behaviour. When your class gets enough points, you will get a prize at the end of the year. Here’s what happens. Every morning the class teacher chooses a secret student freely by picking a name from a box. This person stands for the class all day. In all lessons, the teachers watch him or her and give a tick (对号) for good behaviour or a cross (错号) for bad behavior. At the end of the day, the class is rewarded a point if the secret student has got more takes than crosses. The key to this system is that if you were the secret student you wouldn’t know it, so everyone has to behave well to make sure the class gets a point. The teacher only reports the name of that day’s secret student if he or she gets a point, but if the student doesn’t get a point, his or her name stay the secret. The idea of the secret student is to make everyone feel their behave has influences on the whole class, so they can take their responsibility (责任) for winning prizes for the class. At last, everybody becomes more responsible, and it brings the class together. It certainly worked in my class. Our behavior was much better and we got 108 points, which was enough for a day at a theme park after our exams. We had an amazing time, so it was exactly worth it! 76. What’s the purpose of the “secret student” ? 77. In which situation can the class get a point at the end of the day? 78. Does the teacher report the names of all secret students? 79. What’s the result of this idea in the writer’s school? 80. What do you think of the idea of “secret student” ? Why? 七、书面表达（本大题共 20 分） 假设你叫王涛，曾是2024江阴半程马拉松比赛的一名志愿者，负责某点位食品补给站，悉心关照有需要的跑者，为参赛选手们加油助威。学校最近正在组织题为A wonderful Experience 的演讲比赛。请根据海报，用英语写一篇演讲稿。 注意： 1. 演讲稿须包括海报中的关键信息，适当增加细节，要求语句通顺、意思连贯； 2. 文中不得使用真实的人名、校名等相关信息； 3. 词数在100个左右，演讲稿开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Ladies and gentlemen, My name is Wang Tao.

I don’t think I will pass this exam,” said Anne. “Yes, you will. I want to go with you, imagine how much fun it will be.” “Yes, but I will have to study a lot. It was so nice of your Aunt Josephine to ask me to stay at her house,” said Anne. “You’ll write to me, won’t you?” asked Diana. Anne went to Aunt Josephine’s house on Monday. On Wednesday Diana went to the post office. There was a letter from Anne. Dear Diana, It’s Tuesday night and I’m writing this from Aunt Josephine’s house. Last night I was really lonely in my room without you. This morning I went to the Academy. There were lots of students. People were doing funny things before the exam. One boy was talking to himself. Then we went into the exam. Some of the girls looked so relaxed. My heart was beating so quickly. Then we did the English exam. Diana, I felt like I did four years ago when I asked Marilla about staying at Green Gables. In the afternoon we had a history exam. I think I did OK. But Diana, tomorrow we have geometry. I am worried about that. The exams finished and Anne went home on Friday evening. She was very tired and happy. Diana was waiting. “It’s wonderful to see you. I miss you. Did you do well?” asked Diana. “I think so, except with geometry. I don’t think I passed. It’s so good to be back. Green Gables is the best place in the world,” said Anne. “When do you get the results?” asked Diana. “In two weeks. They’ll be in the newspaper. Two weeks of waiting,” said Anne. “You’ll pass. Don’t worry.” “I want to pass with a high score or not at all,” said Anne. She seemed angry. Diana understood that Anne wanted a high score than Gilbert. Anne and Gilbert were in competition with each other. They saw each other but didn’t speak. It was like they were strangers. Anne secretly wished that she was friends with Gilbert again. But she also wanted to get a higher score than him in the exam. Everyone thought Gilbert was going to get the highest score. She wanted to make Matthew and Marilla proud. Well mostly Matthew. The results were late. Finally after three weeks of waiting, they arrived. Diana came running to the house with a newspaper. “Anne, you’ve passed. You and Gilbert. You’re equal firsts,” said Diana. Anne took the newspaper. Yes, their names were at the top of a list of two hundred pupils. (Adapted from Anne of Green Gables) 47. How long did Anne stay in Aunt Josephine’s house? A. Two days B.

It also means taking special steps to protect the environment. Buying a green product is a small step, everyone can take. Deciding whether a product is green, however, isn't always easy. We need to consider the whole life cycle of the product, even after it's useless. Here is what we may keep in mind. The materials of a product are usually our first focus. What is it made of? Are there any harmful chemicals in it? Green products are made of more natural materials which are free from harmful chemicals, so they can be good for our physical health. Packing（包装）is important. How is a product packed? Is it over-packed? We’d better choose glass, metal and paper packing, as these can be reused or more easily recycled. We can also look for less packing or even choose unpacked products whenever possible. Location matters. Where was the product produced? Where are we buy it? Think about how much energy was used to get it to us, try to choose local products. When it comes to food, it is a good idea to order directly from local farmers, shop at markets and buy fruits in season. Buying from stores near our houses is also a good choice, because we can go there without driving a car. Look into what the company tells us about their product. It’s easy to say that a product is “green” or “all natural”, but the words may be too good to be true. So, much of the information about a product should be taken with a grain of salt. After all, companies try to make us believe that their products are environmentally responsible. The greenest thing is certainly the one we don’t buy. Things like food and clothing are necessary for life. But many others are not. Better than buying is choosing to leave an unnecessary product in the store and doing without. It sends a message to the producer, keep money in our pockets, reduces waste and keeps the planet healthy. 第 8 页 共 10 页 51. What do we know from Paragraph 1? A. Green is just a kind of color. B. It is a big step to buy a green product. C. Deciding if a product is green is easy. D. Green also means taking action to protect the environment. 52. What is talked about in Paragraph 2? A. Why we first focus materials of a product. B. How a product is packet. C. What green products are made of. D. Where a product is produced. 53.

It is called the “secret student”, and the idea isn’t to punish bad behavior but reward (奖励) good behaviour. When your class gets enough points, you will get a prize at the end of the year. Here’s what happens. Every morning the class teacher chooses a secret student freely by picking a name from a box. This person stands for the class all day. In all lessons, the teachers watch him or her and give a tick (对号) for good behaviour or a cross (错号) for bad behavior. At the end of the day, the class is rewarded a point if the secret student has got more takes than crosses. The key to this system is that if you were the secret student you wouldn’t know it, so everyone has to behave well to make sure the class gets a point. The teacher only reports the name of that day’s secret student if he or she gets a point, but if the student doesn’t get a point, his or her name stay the secret. The idea of the secret student is to make everyone feel their behave has influences on the whole class, so they can take their responsibility (责任) for winning prizes for the class. At last, everybody becomes more responsible, and it brings the class together. It certainly worked in my class. Our behavior was much better and we got 108 points, which was enough for a day at a theme park after our exams. We had an amazing time, so it was exactly worth it! 76. What’s the purpose of the “secret student” ? 77. In which situation can the class get a point at the end of the day? 78. Does the teacher report the names of all secret students? 79. What’s the result of this idea in the writer’s school? 80. What do you think of the idea of “secret student” ? Why? 七、书面表达（本大题共 20 分） 假设你叫王涛，曾是 2024江阴半程马拉松比赛的一名志愿者，负责某点位食品补给站，悉心关照 有需要的跑者，为参赛选手们加油助威。学校最近正在组织题为 A wonderful Experience 的演讲比赛。 请根据海报，用英语写一篇演讲稿。 第 10 页 共 10 页 注意： 1. 演讲稿须包括海报中的关键信息，适当增加细节，要求语句通顺、意思连贯； 2. 文中不得使用真实的人名、校名等相关信息； 3. 词数在 100个左右，演讲稿开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Ladies and gentlemen, My name is Wang Tao.

However, some people’s bad habits are very rude and unwelcome in public. Some people often make loud noise that makes others feel uncomfortable. Some throw rubbish everywhere. Some people take photos in wrong places, even in dangerous places. I think we should remember to be a good tourist. Throw rubbish in the dustbin instead of dropping it everywhere. Be quiet especially in some public places like restaurants and shops. When taking photos, always remember safety comes first. In a word, if all of us can be good tourists, we can make a great difference to our environment and have more fun as well. 听第二篇短文，回答第 16—20 小题 Amy was born in a poor family.
