Several years ago, a heavy rain h 1 a town and made the river go up. When the rain stopped, people found that a big dog swam to an island in the river t 2 a day for two weeks. Why did she do so? It turned out that her four babies were there. The mother swam there every day to f 3 her babies. This t 4 story in the newspaper moved many people. Another story is about chimpanzees(黑猩猩). A scientist named Jane Goodall spent many years l 5 with chimpanzees in Africa. She found that chimpanzees also cared for those that were hurt or got 1 6 . “It is not only humans who have duties, but animals also do,”she said. Two birds in Chengdu also showed their parents'1 7 .

Cars were 9 past but the brave parents rushed down to the street and took the little bird a 10 with their claws(爪子). 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 五 、阅读理解 We know the mosquito(蚊子) very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. We can find them all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them. No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide that she loves you. She? Yes, she. It's true that the male mosquito doesn't bite(咬) and only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood(血)to lay eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn't like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember she chooses you. You're different from the others! If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood. She flies away before the itching begins. And then what happens? Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She just wants to find a place to have a good rest. There, on a leaf or a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs. ( )1. Why do people know mosquitoes very well? A. We can find them easily everywhere. B. They bite us. C. There are many kinds of them. D. They can fly. ( )2. What does the underlined word“itch”in Paragraph 3 mean? A. 抓挠 B. 发痒 C. 过敏 D. 疼痛 ( )3. Which of the following is TRUE? A. All the mosquitoes like to bite people for blood. B. The mosquito bites you because you choose it. C. The mosquito bites you too quickly to let you know. D. You feel terrible because the mosquito doesn't like you. 六 、任务型阅读。 Now and then we all get ill. Then we usually go to see a doctor. Doctors know a lot about what makes us ill. They may give us some medicine to take. The medicine often makes us well again. But sometimes the doctor's medicine doesn't work. A sick person does not get well. The pain doesn't go away. This happened to one man. He was in hospital, but he was not getting well. Then he found a new“doctor” inside himself. This new“doctor”was his own sense of humour. He saw funny films. He read funny books. And something wonderful happened. Laughing took away his pain.Then he was able to sleep and rest. His own happy feeling helped him to feel well again. He said laughing was his best“medicine”. His doctor thought so, too. Another man was also ill, and he had a terrible pain in his back. The doctors could not stop it from hurting. So the man began to“picture”his pain. In his head he“drew”a picture of a dog.He imagined it as a real dog. And he made friends with the dog. And his pain went away! These stories may surprise you. But more and more people are getting well in this way. So visit the“doctor”inside your own head and you can stay happy and well. 回答下列问题，每题答案不超过5个词。 1. Who knows much about what makes people ill, doctors or nurses? 2. How many sick men are mentioned(提及) in this passage? 3. Who was the first sick man's new“doctor”? 4. Who made the second sick man well again, the doctor or the“dog”in his head? 5. Please write a title for the passage. 七、书面表达。 根据《同步英语周报》的动物爱好者们的初步调查，目前许多野生动物处境危险。为唤醒人们保护动物、热爱动物的意识，请你根据以下要点以“Tigers Are in Danger”为题写一篇短文。 【要点】1.老虎强壮、跑得快，擅长猎食其他小动物；幼虎长到两到三岁时离开父母独自生活。 2.老虎正面临着危险：有些人乱砍树木，老虎失去生存区域而且没有足够的食物；为了金钱，猎人捕杀老虎，获取毛皮和虎骨。 3.应该建立更多的保护区。 【要求】1.短文应包括要点中所给信息，可以适当发挥。 2.句意连贯，语句通顺。 3.90词左右。 Tigers Are in Danger 一、1. sold 2. reports 3. slowly 4. tail 5.

They are good at hunting other small animals for food. When baby tigers are two to three years old, they will leave their parents and live on their own. Strong as they are, they face great danger. Now tigers’ living areas are becoming smaller and smaller because people cut down a lot of trees in the forest, and tigers don't have enough food to eat. Also, hunters kill tigers for their fur and bones to make money. All these have left tigers in great danger. I think we should try our best to build more reserves to protect and take good care of them. Let's save tigers! 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
