Teenagers from Live Oak, California, US, would say yes. They took photos of their neighbours. Then they put the pictures on city walls. The kids took part in an International photography activity. It’s called the Inside Out Project. It asks people around the world to take black and white photos of their neighbours. In this way, people can find and share something about the places where they live. People can upload (上传) pictures to the project’s website. Then the project makes large photos. They send these photos back to people to show in their communities (社区). In Live Oak, you can see big pictures on the walls of a supermarket. Nicholas’ work almost covered one wall. He took a photo of an old man. “We call him ‘The Superman’,” said Nicholas’ friend, “Nicholas took that picture right outside the super-market down the street called ‘Super’. It’s been really great. We get to learn a lot about our community, and we meet people we never met before.” Greg Stein is headmaster of Shoreline Middle School. He also joined in the activity. He said he wanted to start this kind of program at his school. “Live Oak needs some beautification (美化),” Stein said. This would really bring a lot of life to the neighbourhood. 57.

What’s the best title for the passage? A. A new way to see your neighbours. B. A boy good at photographing. C. A new way to show your photos. D. A new neighbourhood. 【答案】57. C 58. D 59. B 60.

Then they put the pictures on city walls.”可知，他们把照片贴在墙上。故选C。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He took a photo of an old man. “We call him ‘The Superman’,” said Nicholas’ friend, “Nicholas took that picture right outside the super-market down the street called ‘Super’. It’s been really great. We get to learn a lot about our community, and we meet people we never met before.””可知，尼古拉斯就在街那头一家叫‘超级’的超市外面拍的那张照片。因此被称作“超人”。故选D。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Greg Stein is headmaster of Shoreline Middle School. He also joined in the activity. He said he wanted to start this kind of program at his school.”可知，他想在他的学校开始这样的项目。故选B。 【60题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“How much do you know about your neighbourhood?

The Neighbourhood Clean-up Program Every Sunday at 5:00 p. m., the neighbours begin cleaning the whole community. The head of it, Zhao Fuqin, says,“The first Sunday, we picked up over eight big bags of rubbish (垃圾) from the sidewalk and the street. The next weekend, we had a collection of seven bags of rubbish. Now the neighbourhood really looks great!” The Neighbourhood Watch Program They begin this program to look for problems in the neighbourhood and ask the police for help if they need it. The neighbours all say the watch has already helped. Sun Yan, an old teacher, says, “In the past, I felt afraid at night. Now I know my neighbours are watching for trouble.” “Calls to 110 went down last month. Criminals knew that the people on Xin’an Street were watching, so they stayed away,” says a policeman. The Neighbourhood Health Program The community built a Health Club last month. There the neighbours can do different kinds of sports. “Every morning you can see groups of neighbours running, dancing and doing Tai Chi. We have come to realize the importance of taking exercise,” says Chen Jinliang, a businessman. The community has more plans. “We plan to start the Kids Care Program for children. We are going to build an after-school club. And we want to have a picnic for everyone in the neighbourhood!” says Zhao Fuqin. 61. When do the neighbours clean Xin’an Street? A. Every Sunday morning. B. Every Sunday afternoon. C. Every Saturday morning. D. Every Saturday afternoon. 62 What can we know about Zhao Fuqin from the text? A. He is an old teacher. B. He is a policeman. C. He is a businessman. D. He is the head of the Xin’an Street Community. 63. What does the underlined word “criminals” mean? A. Farmers. B. Homeless men. C. Bad men. D. Students. 64. How many plans are mentioned in the last paragraph? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 65. What’s the text mainly about? A. Some future plans in the Xin’an Street Community. B. Some programs in the Xin’an Street Community. C. Great changes in the Xin’an Street Community. D. Some problems in the Xin’an Street Community. 【答案】61. B 62. D 63. C 64. C 65. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了新安街社区为改善生活而开展的三个项目：社区清理项目、社区巡逻项目和社区健康项目。 【61题详解】 细节理解题根据“Every Sunday at 5:00 p.m., the neighbours begin cleaning the whole community.”可知，每周日下午五点，邻居们开始清洁社区。故选B。 【62题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The head of it, Zhao Fuqin, says…”可知，赵福勤是社区清洁项目的负责人。故选D。 【63题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Criminals knew that the people on Xin’an Street were watching, so they stayed away”可知，罪犯知道新安街的人在监视，所以他们躲得远远的。划线单词“Criminals”意为“不法分子，罪犯”，即坏人。故选C。 【64题详解】 细节理解题。根据“We plan to start the Kids Care Program for children. We are going to build an after-school club. And we want to have a picnic for everyone in the neighbourhood!”可知，我们计划启动儿童保育项目。我们打算建立一个课后俱乐部。我们想为邻居们举办一次野餐！一共是三个计划。故选C。 【65题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“The Xin’an Street Community holds three programs to improve life.”及通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了新安街道社区为了改善社区人们的生活而进行的三个项目，所以本文主要与“新安街道社区的一些项目”有关。故选B。 Ⅸ. 任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，按要求完成下面小题。 When you hold a birthday party, do you often decorate (装饰) it? If you do, how do you decorate it? Have you ever tried decorating your party with balloons? Balloons are so pretty though balloon decoration takes too much time! If you want to make balloon decoration yourself, here is some advice. First, the color of balloons has to fit into the theme (主题). It’s fun to have at least two colors of balloons but three colors are even more beautiful. As for what color to choose, you could ask others what they think. Then, fill them up the day before the party. You could buy a balloon filler or invite the neighbourhood kids (that are invited to the party) over to fill up the balloons. Then hang them up the afternoon or the night before the party. Finally, find a proper (恰当的) place to hang (悬挂) the balloons. Personally I believe that one of the best places to hang balloons is right at the entrance of the party. That way the guests can see the balloons right at the beginning. And it helps them get excited. Another great place to put balloons is behind the cake table. It really adds value (价值) to the cake. I hope these tips can help you. Happy balloon decorating! 1、2题完成句子；3～5题简略回答问题。 66. The color of balloons has to ________ the theme. 67.

B Last week, Basti, my four-year-old son and I went for a walk. Suddenly, we found a toy dolphin on the road. Basti was so excited, so he held it all day and took it to bed with him that night. That evening, I noticed a post on the Internet. It was from a mother who was trying to find a lost toy which was her son’s favorite. I knew that the toy dolphin we picked up was the one she was looking for. After knowing about it, I got in touch with her and told her we had it. In the morning, I had to tell Basti the news that another little boy was missing his favorite toy, and the toy dolphin was the one that he lost. Tears (眼泪) came down his face, but he still gave me the toy. He said, “It’s right to give it back to the little boy. I’m sad just because I love this toy.” Little toy dolphin was returned to its owner (主人) finally. A week later I bought a same toy for Basti. Once knowing that it was a gift for him, Basti jumped up high into the air. The toy is an award (奖励) for his kindness. What’s more, it will be a start for a kind boy. 54. What were the writer and Basti doing when they found the toy dolphin? A. They were taking a walk. B. They were looking for their lost toy. C. They were playing with animals. D. They were visiting the community. 55. What award did Basti get? A. A toy car. B. A toy dolphin. C. Some thankful words. D. Some animal pictures. 56. Which of the following can best describe Basti? A. Quiet. B. Funny. C. Kind. D. Hard. C How much do you know about your neighbourhood? Can you remember your neighbours’ faces? Teenagers from Live Oak, California, US, would say yes. They took photos of their neighbours. Then they put the pictures on city walls. The kids took part in an International photography activity. It’s called the Inside Out Project. It asks people around the world to take black and white photos of their neighbours. In this way, people can find and share something about the places where they live. People can upload (上传) pictures to the project’s website. Then the project makes large photos. They send these photos back to people to show in their communities (社区). In Live Oak, you can see big pictures on the walls of a supermarket. Nicholas’ work almost covered one wall. He took a photo of an old man. “We call him ‘The Superman’,” said Nicholas’ friend, “Nicholas took that picture right outside the super-market down the street called ‘Super’. It’s been really great. We get to learn a lot about our community, and we meet people we never met before.” Greg Stein is headmaster of Shoreline Middle School. He also joined in the activity. He said he wanted to start this kind of program at his school. “Live Oak needs some beautification (美化),” Stein said. This would really bring a lot of life to the neighbourhood. 57.

Ⅸ. 任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，按要求完成下面小题。 When you hold a birthday party, do you often decorate (装饰) it? If you do, how do you decorate it? Have you ever tried decorating your party with balloons? Balloons are so pretty though balloon decoration takes too much time! If you want to make balloon decoration yourself, here is some advice. First, the color of balloons has to fit into the theme (主题). It’s fun to have at least two colors of balloons but three colors are even more beautiful. As for what color to choose, you could ask others what they think. Then, fill them up the day before the party. You could buy a balloon filler or invite the neighbourhood kids (that are invited to the party) over to fill up the balloons. Then hang them up the afternoon or the night before the party. Finally, find a proper (恰当的) place to hang (悬挂) the balloons. Personally I believe that one of the best places to hang balloons is right at the entrance of the party. That way the guests can see the balloons right at the beginning. And it helps them get excited. Another great place to put balloons is behind the cake table. It really adds value (价值) to the cake. I hope these tips can help you. Happy balloon decorating! 1、2题完成句子；3～5题简略回答问题。 66. The color of balloons has to ________ the theme. 67.
