A man was walking through the woods with his axe (斧头) when a small tree called to him. It said, “Hello friend. Can you cut down those bigger trees? They’re blocking the sun. It is so crowded here that I have no room to spread my roots. I can’t feel the wind.”
The little tree held out its tiny leaves. It looked so sad. It continued, “If those trees were gone, I’d be able to grow. A year from now, I’d be the biggest tree here. But for now, I’m just a small tree.”
The man thought for a while and agreed. He walked over to the bigger trees and started cutting them down. Soon, he cleared lots of space around the small tree. Now it would be able to feel the sun and wind. It would grow bigger and become the biggest tree in that area.
But something else happened instead. The sun’s heat came first, burning the small tree, which wasn’t used to so much sunlight. Heavy wind and rain came-without the bigger trees to protect it, the small tree was hit by the storm. Soon, the tree was nearly dead.
“You’ve been quite foolish,” said a snake that saw what had happened. “You brought this on yourself. If you’d left the bigger trees alone, the sun and storm wouldn’t have hurt you so badly. They protected you. If you had just waited longer, you would’ve grown to be just as big as them. You’d be strong. But now, you’re nearly gone.”
( )32.What does the underlined word “blocking” mean?
A.stopping B.burning C.clearing D.protecting
( )33.What might’ve made the man agree to help the tree?
A.It would be easy to climb small trees. B.The little tree looked sad.
C.He couldn’t get any sun either. D.He didn’t like the bigger trees.
( )34.What did the snake think of the whole matter?
A.The man was quite foolish. B.The bigger trees were selfish.
C.It was the small tree’s fault. D.The small tree was not well-protected.
( )35.What lesson did the little tree learn?
A.Don’t take the word of a stranger. B.Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.
C.Don’t give up until you succeed. D.Don’t be afraid to try new things.
四、词汇运用(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)

Environmental protection is important for the health of our earth. We need to r 46 how our actions influence the environment.
In our daily life, plenty of waste we produce is a big problem. We can r 47 waste by choosing to buy products with l 48 packaging (包装) and to recycle items properly. S 49 rubbish into different categories, such as plastic, paper, and glass, can also be a great help.
Moreover, we d 50 on natural resources for our daily needs, such as water, air, and food. It is important to save resources by using them w 51 . For example, turning off the tap w 52 brushing our teeth can save water, and turning off lights when leaving a room can save electricity.
Finally, we must also think about the r 53 of our choices for the environment. Choosing to use public transportation or carpooling (共乘一辆车) instead of driving a 54 can reduce air pollution. Planting trees can also help take in CO2 and i 55 air quality.
By taking these steps, we can help protect the environment and make a better future.
六、任务型阅读(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)
A
请阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,在方框内的缩写文章中填入与短文意思最符合的单词。每空一词。
Let’s say you are taking a walk along the road and you happen to see one or two waste bottles lying on the grass beside the road. What would you do?
You may have different choices. Firstly, you can leave the bottles there as they are. It was not you who threw them away. Why should you do something about it? This is quite OK. Secondly, you can pick them up and throw them into a dustbin (垃圾箱). By doing this, you have walked a step further to help make our home clean. This action is a better choice (选择). Thirdly, you might want to pick them up and give them to an old man or woman who collects waste for a living. If this is your choice, you have walked even further. You’re not only thinking about doing something for the environment, you’re also developing yourself to be a person who is kind to others.
As for young kids, they may always have such a question:“When do I grow up?” Yes! When does a child grow up? And how can a kid know he or she has grown up? These are interesting questions. As for us, middle school students, we’re no longer younger children. We should know whether or not we have grown up. When we start to have a sense of offering (提供) a helping hand for a cleaner city and greener world, and when we have a loving heart to think more of others than of ourselves and are ready to help them, we can say that we have grown up.
Remember:If we help others, others will help us. If we do our best for nature, our environment will have a great change.
The writer starts the passage by giving an example of daily life. When you see some 56 bottles on the grass beside the road, you have three choices to deal with them. If you 57 them up and give them to someone else, it means you treat others with 58 . As for young kids, when we start to make our city 59 , it means that we have grown up. If we do our best for nature, our environment will change 60 .
B
Nowadays, job interviews are playing an important part in deciding whether a person can get a job finally. But job interviews aren’t the same all over the world. An interviewer’s “body language” and questions, and the forms of an interview can be very different from country to country.
If you’re at a job interview in Japan, don’t look directly into the eyes of the interviewer. It is considered impolite and make the interviewer unhappy. But if you’re at an interview in the US, you should make eye contact (交流) with the interviewer. If you don’t, the interviewer may think you are not sure about your ability and move your name away from the final list.
In Canada, interviewers usually don’t ask questions about personal information like family members and their jobs. In China, however, personal questions are often asked during job interviews.
In Germany, your interview might begin with a very short conversation followed by a formal (正式的) interview. The interviewee should pay special attention to the clothes he wears that day. But in Mexico, the whole interview might not be formal, which makes the interviewee think he is talking with an old friend.
阅读以上信息,用恰当的词完成下面的表格,每空一词。
The 61 in job interviews
Body language
In Japan
It is not 62 to look at the interviewer directly.
In the US
Making eye contact means you are 63 enough.
Questions
In Canada

In China
The interviewer often asks questions about personal information.
Forms
In Germany
The interview is so formal that one should pay attention to his clothes.
In Mexico
The informal interview makes one 65 like talking with a friend.

A man was walking through the woods with his axe (斧头) when a small tree called to him. It said, “Hello friend. Can you cut down those bigger trees? They’re blocking the sun. It is so crowded here that I have no room to spread my roots. I can’t feel the wind.”
The little tree held out its tiny leaves. It looked so sad. It continued, “If those trees were gone, I’d be able to grow. A year from now, I’d be the biggest tree here. But for now, I’m just a small tree.”
The man thought for a while and agreed. He walked over to the bigger trees and started cutting them down. Soon, he cleared lots of space around the small tree. Now it would be able to feel the sun and wind. It would grow bigger and become the biggest tree in that area.
But something else happened instead. The sun’s heat came first, burning the small tree, which wasn’t used to so much sunlight. Heavy wind and rain came-without the bigger trees to protect it, the small tree was hit by the storm. Soon, the tree was nearly dead.
“You’ve been quite foolish,” said a snake that saw what had happened. “You brought this on yourself. If you’d left the bigger trees alone, the sun and storm wouldn’t have hurt you so badly. They protected you. If you had just waited longer, you would’ve grown to be just as big as them. You’d be strong. But now, you’re nearly gone.”
( )32.What does the underlined word “blocking” mean?
A.stopping B.burning C.clearing D.protecting
( )33.What might’ve made the man agree to help the tree?
A.It would be easy to climb small trees. B.The little tree looked sad.
C.He couldn’t get any sun either. D.He didn’t like the bigger trees.
( )34.What did the snake think of the whole matter?
A.The man was quite foolish. B.The bigger trees were selfish.
C.It was the small tree’s fault. D.The small tree was not well-protected.
( )35.What lesson did the little tree learn?
A.Don’t take the word of a stranger. B.Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.
C.Don’t give up until you succeed. D.Don’t be afraid to try new things.
【答案】32.A 33.B 34.C 35.B
【解析】本文是一篇寓言故事。通过小树的经历告诉我们不要恩将仇报。
32.词义猜测题。根据“Can you cut down those bigger trees?”可知,想要砍掉大树是因为它们挡住了阳光。故选A。
33.细节理解题。根据“ It looked so sad.”可知,小树看起来伤心使得这个男人想要帮助它。故选B。

请阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,在方框内的缩写文章中填入与短文意思最符合的单词。每空一词。
Let’s say you are taking a walk along the road and you happen to see one or two waste bottles lying on the grass beside the road. What would you do?
You may have different choices. Firstly, you can leave the bottles there as they are. It was not you who threw them away. Why should you do something about it? This is quite OK. Secondly, you can pick them up and throw them into a dustbin (垃圾箱). By doing this, you have walked a step further to help make our home clean. This action is a better choice (选择). Thirdly, you might want to pick them up and give them to an old man or woman who collects waste for a living. If this is your choice, you have walked even further. You’re not only thinking about doing something for the environment, you’re also developing yourself to be a person who is kind to others.
As for young kids, they may always have such a question:“When do I grow up?” Yes! When does a child grow up? And how can a kid know he or she has grown up? These are interesting questions. As for us, middle school students, we’re no longer younger children. We should know whether or not we have grown up. When we start to have a sense of offering (提供) a helping hand for a cleaner city and greener world, and when we have a loving heart to think more of others than of ourselves and are ready to help them, we can say that we have grown up.
Remember:If we help others, others will help us. If we do our best for nature, our environment will have a great change.
The writer starts the passage by giving an example of daily life. When you see some 56 bottles on the grass beside the road, you have three choices to deal with them. If you 57 them up and give them to someone else, it means you treat others with 58 . As for young kids, when we start to make our city 59 , it means that we have grown up. If we do our best for nature, our environment will change 60 .
【答案】56.waste 57.pick 58.kindness 59.cleaner 60.greatly
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了保护环境的方法以及保护环境和帮助别人是我们长大的标志。
56.根据上文“...you happen to see one or two waste bottles lying on the grass beside the road.”可知,你发现一两个废瓶子在马路边的草地上,你可以有不同的三种选择,可推测此处是一些废瓶子,空处需填形容词,修饰bottles,waste“废弃的”,形容词。故填waste。
57.根据上文“Thirdly, you might want to pick them up and give them to an old man or woman who collects waste for a living.”可知,你可以把废瓶子捡起来给收集废品的人,可推测此处你捡起废瓶子,时态为一般现在时,主语为you,空处需填动词用原形,pick up表示“捡起”。故填pick。
58.根据上文“Thirdly, you might want to pick them up and give them to an old man or woman who collects waste for a living...You’re not only thinking about doing something for the environment, you’re also developing yourself to be a person who is kind to others.”可知,上文提到把捡到的废瓶子给收集废品的人,这样做你不仅保护了环境还让自己成为了善待他人的人,可推测此处是用善良方式对待他人,treat sb with sth表示“以……方式对待某人”,空处需填名词,kindness“善良”,名词。故填kindness。
59.根据上文第三段“When we start to have a sense of offering a helping hand for a cleaner city and greener world,...we can say that we have grown up.”可知,上文第三段提到对小孩来说,当我们开始为创造更清洁更绿色的城市而努力时,说明我们长大了,可推测此处是说当我们开始让我们的城市变得更干净,空处需填形容词比较级,cleaner“更干净的”,形容词比较级。故填cleaner。
60.根据上文“If we do our best for nature, our environment will have a great change.”可知,上文提到如果我们尽最大努力保护自然环境,我们的环境将会有很大的改变,可推测此处是说我们的环境将会极大地改变,空处需填副词,修饰动词change,greatly“极大地”,副词。故填greatly。

Nowadays, job interviews are playing an important part in deciding whether a person can get a job finally. But job interviews aren’t the same all over the world. An interviewer’s “body language” and questions, and the forms of an interview can be very different from country to country.
If you’re at a job interview in Japan, don’t look directly into the eyes of the interviewer. It is considered impolite and make the interviewer unhappy. But if you’re at an interview in the US, you should make eye contact (交流) with the interviewer. If you don’t, the interviewer may think you are not sure about your ability and move your name away from the final list.
In Canada, interviewers usually don’t ask questions about personal information like family members and their jobs. In China, however, personal questions are often asked during job interviews.
In Germany, your interview might begin with a very short conversation followed by a formal (正式的) interview. The interviewee should pay special attention to the clothes he wears that day. But in Mexico, the whole interview might not be formal, which makes the interviewee think he is talking with an old friend.
阅读以上信息,用恰当的词完成下面的表格,每空一词。
The 61 in job interviews
Body language
In Japan
It is not 62 to look at the interviewer directly.
In the US
Making eye contact means you are 63 enough.
Questions
In Canada
Questions about personal information aren’t often 64 .
In China
The interviewer often asks questions about personal information.
Forms
In Germany
The interview is so formal that one should pay attention to his clothes.
In Mexico
The informal interview makes one 65 like talking with a friend.
【答案】61.difference/differences 62.polite 63.confident 64.asked 65.feel
【解析】本文讲述了不同国家有不同的面试形式。
61.根据第一段“But job interviews aren’t the same all over the world. An interviewer’s “body language” and questions, and the forms of an interview can be very different from country to country.”可知,本文讲述了不同国家面试的不同之处,“不同之处”为difference,结合语境,此处单复数均可,故填difference(s)。
62.根据第二段“If you’re at a job interview in Japan, don’t look directly into the eyes of the interviewer. It is considered impolite and make the interviewer unhappy.”可知,在日本直视面试官是不礼貌的,polite意为“礼貌的”,not polite为“不礼貌的”,故填polite。
63.根据第二段“But if you’re at an interview in the US, you should make eye contact with the interviewer. If you don’t, the interviewer may think you are not sure about your ability and move your name away from the final list.”可知,在美国眼神交流意味着你足够自信,“自信的”为confident,是形容词,作表语,故填confident。
64.根据第三段“In Canada, interviewers usually don’t ask questions about personal information like family members and their jobs.”可知,在加拿大关于个人信息的问题通常不被问到,“问”为ask,该句为被动结构,此处应用过去分词asked,故填asked。
65.根据第四段“But in Mexico, the whole interview might not be formal, which makes the interviewee think he is talking with an old friend.”可知,在墨西哥非正式的面试让人感觉像是在和朋友交谈,“感觉”为feel,make sb. do sth.“让某人做某事”,故填feel。

【答案】
One Earth, One Home
The earth is home to both humans and wild animals. But today wild animals are facing serious problems because of humans. People often cut down trees and forests for money. What’s worse, people kill animals for their fur or bones. So many animals are in danger.
It’s time for us to save the earth and the wild animals. If we take action to protect our earth and animals right away, our earth will become comfortable for us to live in and animals can live happily. Otherwise, terrible things will happen.
First, as students, we can try to be volunteers. What’s more, we shouldn’t buy fur coats any more. Last but not least, we should make more people understand the importance of protecting the earth and loving the animals.
Let’s act together to make a more beautiful home for us humans and animals as well.

A man was walking through the woods with his axe (斧头) when a small tree called to him. It said, “Hello friend. Can you cut down those bigger trees? They’re blocking the sun. It is so crowded here that I have no room to spread my roots. I can’t feel the wind.”
The little tree held out its tiny leaves. It looked so sad. It continued, “If those trees were gone, I’d be able to grow. A year from now, I’d be the biggest tree here. But for now, I’m just a small tree.”
The man thought for a while and agreed. He walked over to the bigger trees and started cutting them down. Soon, he cleared lots of space around the small tree. Now it would be able to feel the sun and wind. It would grow bigger and become the biggest tree in that area.
But something else happened instead. The sun’s heat came first, burning the small tree, which wasn’t used to so much sunlight. Heavy wind and rain came-without the bigger trees to protect it, the small tree was hit by the storm. Soon, the tree was nearly dead.
“You’ve been quite foolish,” said a snake that saw what had happened. “You brought this on yourself. If you’d left the bigger trees alone, the sun and storm wouldn’t have hurt you so badly. They protected you. If you had just waited longer, you would’ve grown to be just as big as them. You’d be strong. But now, you’re nearly gone.”
( )32.What does the underlined word “blocking” mean?
A.stopping B.burning C.clearing D.protecting
( )33.What might’ve made the man agree to help the tree?
A.It would be easy to climb small trees. B.The little tree looked sad.
C.He couldn’t get any sun either. D.He didn’t like the bigger trees.
( )34.What did the snake think of the whole matter?
A.The man was quite foolish. B.The bigger trees were selfish.
C.It was the small tree’s fault. D.The small tree was not well-protected.
( )35.What lesson did the little tree learn?
A.Don’t take the word of a stranger. B.Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.
C.Don’t give up until you succeed. D.Don’t be afraid to try new things.

Environmental protection is important for the health of our earth. We need to r 46 how our actions influence the environment.
In our daily life, plenty of waste we produce is a big problem. We can r 47 waste by choosing to buy products with l 48 packaging (包装) and to recycle items properly. S 49 rubbish into different categories, such as plastic, paper, and glass, can also be a great help.
Moreover, we d 50 on natural resources for our daily needs, such as water, air, and food. It is important to save resources by using them w 51 . For example, turning off the tap w 52 brushing our teeth can save water, and turning off lights when leaving a room can save electricity.
Finally, we must also think about the r 53 of our choices for the environment. Choosing to use public transportation or carpooling (共乘一辆车) instead of driving a 54 can reduce air pollution. Planting trees can also help take in CO2 and i 55 air quality.
By taking these steps, we can help protect the environment and make a better future.

请阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,在方框内的缩写文章中填入与短文意思最符合的单词。每空一词。
Let’s say you are taking a walk along the road and you happen to see one or two waste bottles lying on the grass beside the road. What would you do?
You may have different choices. Firstly, you can leave the bottles there as they are. It was not you who threw them away. Why should you do something about it? This is quite OK. Secondly, you can pick them up and throw them into a dustbin (垃圾箱). By doing this, you have walked a step further to help make our home clean. This action is a better choice (选择). Thirdly, you might want to pick them up and give them to an old man or woman who collects waste for a living. If this is your choice, you have walked even further. You’re not only thinking about doing something for the environment, you’re also developing yourself to be a person who is kind to others.
As for young kids, they may always have such a question:“When do I grow up?” Yes! When does a child grow up? And how can a kid know he or she has grown up? These are interesting questions. As for us, middle school students, we’re no longer younger children. We should know whether or not we have grown up. When we start to have a sense of offering (提供) a helping hand for a cleaner city and greener world, and when we have a loving heart to think more of others than of ourselves and are ready to help them, we can say that we have grown up.
Remember:If we help others, others will help us. If we do our best for nature, our environment will have a great change.
The writer starts the passage by giving an example of daily life. When you see some 56 bottles on the grass beside the road, you have three choices to deal with them. If you 57 them up and give them to someone else, it means you treat others with 58 . As for young kids, when we start to make our city 59 , it means that we have grown up. If we do our best for nature, our environment will change 60 .

Nowadays, job interviews are playing an important part in deciding whether a person can get a job finally. But job interviews aren’t the same all over the world. An interviewer’s “body language” and questions, and the forms of an interview can be very different from country to country.
If you’re at a job interview in Japan, don’t look directly into the eyes of the interviewer. It is considered impolite and make the interviewer unhappy. But if you’re at an interview in the US, you should make eye contact (交流) with the interviewer. If you don’t, the interviewer may think you are not sure about your ability and move your name away from the final list.
In Canada, interviewers usually don’t ask questions about personal information like family members and their jobs. In China, however, personal questions are often asked during job interviews.
In Germany, your interview might begin with a very short conversation followed by a formal (正式的) interview. The interviewee should pay special attention to the clothes he wears that day. But in Mexico, the whole interview might not be formal, which makes the interviewee think he is talking with an old friend.
阅读以上信息,用恰当的词完成下面的表格,每空一词。
