A. poster B. map C. notice D. advertisement 42. Amy, a 13-year-old girl, wants to take part in the activity with her mother. How much should they pay? A. $27 B. $30 C. $18 D. $40 43. What can we learn from the picture? A.Mike aged 8 can play the game himself. B.There are 3 buses to the Maze. C.High cornstalks make the maze difficult. D.It’s better to find our way alone. B The next day I looked for a pen and some paper among my things. I made two lists: one of all the bad things about my situation, and the other of all the good things. BAD I am alone. There is nobody here to talk to or to help me. I have no warm clothes. I don’t have much protection against wild animals. GOOD I survive the terrible storm. I am alive. It’s hot here, so I don’t need warm clothes. There aren’t any wild animals here. I can live well because I was able to save a lot of useful things from the ship. Sometimes it rained all day, so I had to stay inside. It was hard to read or write because the house was dark and I didn’t have candles. Then I remembered in Africa people made lamps using the fat of animals. I did the same. They didn’t give much light, but they were better than nothing. I looked at my lists and I thought, “These lists show something important. We can always find something good in a bad situation if we look for it. I must stop feeling sad and sorry for myself. My new life is here, on this island. I must make it as comfortable as I can.” I started by making my house stronger. I built thick walls and put branches on the roof to keep out the rain. I put up some shelves and I put my things on them. I made some furniture—two tables and a chair. They weren’t very beautiful but they were very useful. I made a small cave at the back of my house. It was cool and a good place to keep food. I called it my “kitchen”. Time passed quickly because I was always busy. In the mornings I went for a walk in the woods and hills with my dog. I caught birds and small animals for food. When I came back, I worked until about 11 o’clock. Then I prepared something to eat. I rested between midday and 2 o’clock because it was very hot. In the evenings I did some more work or I took out my pen and wrote about my life on the island. At 7 o’clock, I went to bed as it got dark early on the island. ---Adapted from the adventures of Robinson Crusoe 44. Which of the following is a bad thing to “me”? A. I survive the terrible storm. B. I don’t need any warm clothes. C. There aren’t wild animals here. D. No one comes and helps me. 45. What does the underlined word “roof” mean? A. The top of a house. B. A piece of furniture. C. A shelf to put things on. D. The place to keep food. 46. Which of the following is True according to the passage? A. I made some beautiful and useful furniture. B. I made a cave to keep myself from the rain. C. I went for a walk in the woods in the mornings. D. I didn’t work in the evening because it was dark. 47. What can we learn from the text? A. We can start a new life in a new place. B. Life is hopeless when we are left alone. C. Nobody can survive without others’ help. D. One can try to find something good in a bad situation. C “It must be perfect” Karie double-checked the words on her spelling test before handing in her paper. She got 100 percent today she’d win her class’s First-Quarter Spelling Challenge along with a new dictionary and other cool things. What’s more, Ms. McCormack had promised to do a handstand if anyone got a perfect score. After the break, Ms. McConnack walked to the front of the room and cleared her throat (嗓子). “Congratulations, Karie! You did it! ” She announced while upside down. The whole class cheered. Ms. McCormack righted herself and presented Karie with her prize. Karie smiled as she read the words on the box: To Karie Carter For her perfect first-quarter score in spelling. “Mum, everything’s so perfect!” As soon as Kaire was at home, she showed Mum her spelling test and prize. “Every word is so perfect! Nicely, honesly...” Karie’s stomach tumbled (翻滚).H-O-N-E-S-L-Y! Not honestly! “Karie, what’s the matter?” said Mum. “I don’t feel so good, ” Karie said, stuffing the test paper into her schoolbag. Karie walked slowly down the hall and fell onto her bed. How could she tell the class she hadn't won the prize after all? McCormack did the handstand for nothing? Soon Karie heard her dad and Kevin come in. The smell of pizza from the kitchen was all over the air. Karie thought back to the last time they’d picked up pizza, after Kevin’s school play. They had almost reached home when Mom realized the shopkeeper had given them too much change. “Let’s turn around,” Mom had said. McCormack was unlocking the classroom door when Karie got to school the next morning. She gave her teacher the spelling paper and the dictionary. “I can’t keep this. I misspelled honestly and you didn't catch it.” For a moment, McCormack stood quietly reading the words on the paper. Then she picked up her pen. She crossed out the word perfect and wrote honest before handing the dictionary back to Karie. Karie’s jaw (下巴) dropped. “I get to keep this? Honestly?” “For honestly, no.” “But for honesty, yes.” 48. How did Karie feel when she handed in her paper after the test? A. Calm. B. Bored. C. Confident. D. Worried. 49. What can we learn from the passage? A. Karie never thought she would ever win the test. B. Karie was surprised to know she could keep the prize. C. McCormack was sure that someone would get a perfect score. D. McCormack didn’t do a handstand because of Karie's mistake. 50. Which of the following shows the correct time order of the events? a. Karie realized she had made a mistake. b. Karie’s teacher did a handstand. d. Karie kept the prize for her honesty. c. Karie’s mum returned the change. A b-a-d-c. B. b-a-c-d. C. c-a-b-d. D. c-b-a-d. 51. Which can be the best title of the passage? A. A Perfect Girl B. A Helpful Teacher C. An Honest Mistake D. An Important Test D Everyone dreams of changing the world. But can teenagers really make a difference? And how can they go about it? Michael Norton’s book 365 Ways to Change the World is a good starting point. The book gives an idea or task for every single(单独的) day of the year. The tasks include offering to work at a local homeless shelter (庇护所) and planting a tree. The book says that one simple act, no matter how small, can help someone in need. It may even influence (影响) other teens to do something. Nathan Anthony, a student at Maple High School in Modesto, California, US, agrees. “It is impossible to get anything in life without giving something to someone or working hard at school or workplace,” Anthony said. Another Maple student, Ariane Mota, has the same idea. “Giving is our way of repaying those who help us,” she said. “Whether it is a helping hand or a donation, we should help others to make their day or life better.” But how often do teens see peers (同龄人) helping a stranger or doing something nice for someone? According to Anthony, not a lot. He and Mota both believe this needs to be changed. “I help my friends by telling them that their lives are better than those poorer people,” Anthony said. “Humor is also a great tool.” So whether you’re helping to find a cure (疗法) for bad illness or simply smiling at a stranger, do something every day to help change the world for the better. 52．Which of the following does not change the world for the better? A．Eating a delicious meal. B．Telling friends that their lives are better. C．Helping find a cure for cancer (癌症). D．Smiling at a stranger. 53．According to Nathan Anthony, how many teens can be seen helping a stranger or do something nice for someone? A．A lot of teens. B．Hundreds of teens. C．Some teens. D．Millions of teens. 54．How often does the passage tell us to do something to change the world better? A．Once a year. B．Every day. C．Once a week. D．Twice a day. 55．From the article, we know _____________. A．Michael Norton dreams of changing the world most B．only great acts can influence other teens to do something C．Nathan Anthony and Ariane Mota are both teenagers at Maple High School D．humor does not belong to what teenagers should do to change the world 第 II卷 主观题（共50分） 五、词汇运用 根据句意和汉语注释.在答题卡对应题号的横线上, 写出单词的正确形式。（本大题共10小题, 每小题1分, 共10分） 56.

With these comics, Chinese artist Cao Siyu shares the differences between Chinese culture and Western culture. Cao Siyu comes from Beijing. She spent the last 10 years in France, the UK and the USA. “Many foreign people that I met were interested in China.” She explained. But most of their ideas about China are out of date. I hope I can change the image of China in foreigners’ mind.” That is why Cao Siyu put her idea of “Tiny Eyes” comics into practice. By bringing words and images together, the Chinese artist tells stories in a simple yet powerful way. She shares Chinese People’s daily life and compares how differently people act in the same situation. In one comic, for example, she compared French cutlery (餐具) with Chinese one: While French people use eight different forks and knives for a meal, Chinese people can make it with only a pair of chopsticks. And in another comic, Cao Siyu made it clear how people from different cultures express love. She wrote below the comic, “Chinese people are not used to saying ‘I love you, Mum’. Instead, they show their love in actions.” Cao Siyu provides a new way for foreigners to know her motherland, and her works have gathered about 20 thousand fans on the Internet. “People from one culture may not be able to fully understand another. But we can listen to each other.” she said. 76. Where do a group of comics called “Tiny Eyes” go popular? ________________________________ 77.

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. If I am lucky enough to join the team, I will help hand out leaflets, teach young children ways to recycle things and take part in all kinds of activities. I’m looking forward to your reply.

B The next day I looked for a pen and some paper among my things. I made two lists: one of all the bad things about my situation, and the other of all the good things. BAD I am alone. There is nobody here to talk to or to help me. I have no warm clothes. I don’t have much protection against wild animals. GOOD I survive the terrible storm. I am alive. It’s hot here, so I don’t need warm clothes. There aren’t any wild animals here. I can live well because I was able to save a lot of useful things from the ship. Sometimes it rained all day, so I had to stay inside. It was hard to read or write because the house was dark and I didn’t have candles. Then I remembered in Africa people made lamps using the fat of animals. I did the same. They didn’t give much light, but they were better than nothing. I looked at my lists and I thought, “These lists show something important. We can always find something good in a bad situation if we look for it. I must stop feeling sad and sorry for myself. My new life is here, on this island. I must make it as comfortable as I can.” I started by making my house stronger. I built thick walls and put branches on the roof to keep out the rain. I put up some shelves and I put my things on them. I made some furniture—two tables and a chair. They weren’t very beautiful but they were very useful. I made a small cave at the back of my house. It was cool and a good place to keep food. I called it my “kitchen”. Time passed quickly because I was always busy. In the mornings I went for a walk in the woods and hills with my dog. I caught birds and small animals for food. When I came back, I worked until about 11 o’clock. Then I prepared something to eat. I rested between midday and 2 o’clock because it was very hot. In the evenings I did some more work or I took out my pen and wrote about my life on the island. At 7 o’clock, I went to bed as it got dark early on the island. ---Adapted from the adventures of Robinson Crusoe 44. Which of the following is a bad thing to “me”? A. I survive the terrible storm.

C “It must be perfect” Karie double-checked the words on her spelling test before handing in her paper. She got 100 percent today she’d win her class’s First-Quarter Spelling Challenge along with a new dictionary and other cool things. What’s more, Ms. McCormack had promised to do a handstand if anyone got a perfect score. After the break, Ms. McConnack walked to the front of the room and cleared her throat (嗓子). “Congratulations, Karie! You did it! ” She announced while upside down. The whole class cheered. Ms. McCormack righted herself and presented Karie with her prize. Karie smiled as she read the words on the box: To Karie Carter For her perfect first-quarter score in spelling. “Mum, everything’s so perfect!” As soon as Kaire was at home, she showed Mum her spelling test and prize. “Every word is so perfect! Nicely, honesly...” Karie’s stomach tumbled (翻滚).H-O-N-E-S-L-Y! Not honestly! “Karie, what’s the matter?” said Mum. “I don’t feel so good, ” Karie said, stuffing the test paper into her schoolbag. Karie walked slowly down the hall and fell onto her bed. How could she tell the class she hadn't won the prize after all? McCormack did the handstand for nothing? Soon Karie heard her dad and Kevin come in. The smell of pizza from the kitchen was all over the air. Karie thought back to the last time they’d picked up pizza, after Kevin’s school play. They had almost reached home when Mom realized the shopkeeper had given them too much change. “Let’s turn around,” Mom had said. McCormack was unlocking the classroom door when Karie got to school the next morning. She gave her teacher the spelling paper and the dictionary. “I can’t keep this. I misspelled honestly and you didn't catch it.” For a moment, McCormack stood quietly reading the words on the paper. Then she picked up her pen. She crossed out the word perfect and wrote honest before handing the dictionary back to Karie. Karie’s jaw (下巴) dropped. “I get to keep this? Honestly?” “For honestly, no.” “But for honesty, yes.” 48. How did Karie feel when she handed in her paper after the test? A. Calm. B. Bored. C. Confident. D. Worried. 49.

But can teenagers really make a difference? And how can they go about it? Michael Norton’s book 365 Ways to Change the World is a good starting point. The book gives an idea or task for every single(单独的) day of the year. The tasks include offering to work at a local homeless shelter (庇 护所) and planting a tree. The book says that one simple act, no matter how small, can help someone in need. It may even influence (影响) other teens to do something. Nathan Anthony, a student at Maple High School in Modesto, California, US, agrees. “It is impossible to get anything in life without giving something to someone or working hard at school or workplace,” Anthony said. Another Maple student, Ariane Mota, has the same idea. “Giving is our way of repaying those who help us,” she said. “Whether it is a helping hand or a donation, we should help others to make their day or life better.” But how often do teens see peers (同龄人) helping a stranger or doing something nice for someone? According to Anthony, not a lot. He and Mota both believe this needs to be changed. “I help my friends by telling them that their lives are better than those poorer people,” Anthony said. “Humor is also a great tool.” So whether you’re helping to find a cure (疗法) for bad illness or simply smiling at a stranger, do something every day to help change the world for the better. 52．Which of the following does not change the world for the better? A．Eating a delicious meal. B．Telling friends that their lives are better. C．Helping find a cure for cancer (癌症). D．Smiling at a stranger. 53．According to Nathan Anthony, how many teens can be seen helping a stranger or do something nice for someone? A．A lot of teens. B．Hundreds of teens. C．Some teens. D．Millions of teens. 54．How often does the passage tell us to do something to change the world better? A．Once a year. B．Every day. C．Once a week. D．Twice a day. 55．From the article, we know _____________. A．Michael Norton dreams of changing the world most B．only great acts can influence other teens to do something C．Nathan Anthony and Ariane Mota are both teenagers at Maple High School D．humor does not belong to what teenagers should do to change the world 第 II 卷 主观题（共 50 分） 五、词汇运用 根据句意和汉语注释.在答题卡对应题号的横线上, 写出单词的正确形式。（本大题共 10 小题, 每小题 1 分, 共 10 分） 56.

With these comics, Chinese artist Cao Siyu shares the differences between Chinese culture and Western culture. Cao Siyu comes from Beijing. She spent the last 10 years in France, the UK and the USA. “Many foreign people that I met were interested in China.” She explained. But most of their ideas about China are out of date. I hope I can change the image of China in foreigners’ mind.” That is why Cao Siyu put her idea of “Tiny Eyes” comics into practice. By bringing words and images together, the Chinese artist tells stories in a simple yet powerful way. She shares Chinese People’s daily life and compares how differently people act in the same situation. In one comic, for example, she compared French cutlery (餐具) with Chinese one: While French people use eight different forks and knives for a meal, Chinese people can make it with only a pair of chopsticks. And in another comic, Cao Siyu made it clear how people from different cultures express love. She wrote below the comic, “Chinese people are not used to saying ‘I love you, Mum’. Instead, they show their love in actions.” Cao Siyu provides a new way for foreigners to know her motherland, and her works have gathered about 20 thousand fans on the Internet. “People from one culture may not be able to fully understand another. But we can listen to each other.” she said. 76. Where do a group of comics called “Tiny Eyes” go popular? ________________________________ 77.
