They think the cinema has a better atmosphere (气氛) to enjoy the movie. However, I think people are happier and freer when watching movies at home. Watching movies at home is more comfortable. To watch movies in a cinema, you have to buy the ticket before you go there for a better seat. However, there is no need for people at home to worry about the ticket. They can enjoy movies at any time they like and with the most comfortable seat. What’s more, people watching movies at home wouldn’t have to face any traffic problems. It is free to watch movies at home. In the cinema, we cannot go outside and do something else because the movie won’t wait for us. Sometimes, if we miss part of the movie, we cannot follow the story. At home, we can pause at any time and go back to watch the part. All in all, a cinema is a good place to watch movies, but it isn’t the best place to enjoy the movies. I think watching movies at home is better. 32. What does the writer think of watching movies at home? A. Boring. B. Enjoyable. C. Interesting. D. Difficult. 33.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者对在家看电影和在电影院看电影的不同看法，并明确表示更喜欢在家看电影。 【32题详解】 观点态度题。根据“However, I think people are happier and freer when watching movies at home.”可知，作者认为在家看电影会更开心，更自由。所以作者应认为在家看电影更令人享受。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They think the cinema has a better atmosphere (气氛) to enjoy the movie.”可知，“有更好的氛围”是在电影院看电影的优点，而不属于作者认为在家看电影更好的原因。故选D。 【34题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“In the cinema, we cannot go outside and do something else because the movie won’t wait for us. Sometimes, if we miss part of the movie, we cannot follow the story.”可知，在电影院，我们不能出去做别的事情，因为电影不会等我们。有时，如果我们错过了电影的一部分，我们就无法跟上故事的发展。所以pause应是暂停的意思。故选C。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“All in all, a cinema is a good place to watch movies, but it isn’t the best place to enjoy the movies. I think watching movies at home is better.”可知，作者主要想告诉我们在家看电影比较好。故选B。 Ⅵ．阅读还原。（共10分，每小题2分） 阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 After five days’ study, students can have a two-day weekend every week.

All our dreams can ________ if we have the courage to follow them. 如果我们有勇气追随梦想，我们所有的梦想都能实现。（come） 【答案】come true 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，come true表示“实现”，动词短语，can是情态动词，后跟动词原形。故填come true。 55. Lily ________ help other people. 李莉总是愿意帮助别人。（ready） 【答案】is always ready to 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文对比可知，此空意为“总是愿意”。always“总是”，副词，作状语；be ready to do sth.“愿意做某事，准备好做某事”，本题为一般现在时，陈述一个事实，主语Lily是单数，所以be动词用is。故填is always ready to。 Ⅸ．短文写作。（共15分） 56. 本周你们班将组织 “良好习惯，伴其一生” 的主题班会。Danny是你的好朋友，他是个品学兼优的学生，为了号召同学们向他学习，请你根据下列表格提示介绍他的好习惯，并谈谈自己的看法。 休闲活动 每周锻炼三到四次；每天打扫自己的房间；周末经常帮助妈妈做家务…… 学习习惯 每天阅读半小时；总是按时完成作业；从不熬夜…… 饮食健康 经常吃水果和蔬菜；每天早上喝牛奶；几乎从不吃垃圾食品…… 我的看法 好习惯很重要…… 要求：1．表格的内容要全部包括，可适当发挥； 2．语句通顺，意思连贯，书写工整； 3．总词数：80词左右（文章的开头已给出，不计入总词数）。 Danny is my good friend.

Susan Boyle is a reporter. D. There is a football match between America and Italy. B Being outgoing is good for your life. Those who are more outgoing like to meet lots of people and have more fun in life. In fact, being outgoing is not so hard as you think. Even shy people can be outgoing. You can start becoming outgoing with your best friend or a group of friends. But the real challenge (挑战) comes when you meet strange people or new friends. Smile more, and usually they will return you a smile. In this way, you may have some talks. Start a talk. Just a simple “Hello!” or “How is it going?” is a good start. If you want to make interesting talks, you should read news in the newspapers and prepare (准备) your views, or surf the Internet for new information and then keep that in mind. The easiest way to become more outgoing is to go out. This is also the most important step. Go to a park, beach, club, party or any other place that you think can be fun, and you may make new friends there. 24. You should start to be outgoing with ________. A. your parents B. your teachers C. your best friends D. your new friends 25. When you start a talk with your friends, you should say “ ________ ”. A What’s the matter? B. What did you do? C. How is it going? D. Are you healthy? 26. The easiest way to be outgoing is ________. A. to talk B. to smile C. to play D. to go out 27. Which is NOT true according to the passage? A. Being outgoing is really difficult. B. Being outgoing is good for our life. C. Being outgoing helps people have more fun. D. Being outgoing with strangers is not easy. C A lot of people like taking a trip with no plans. They think it is very exciting and has more fun. But in fact, it is not good. Making vacation plans is very important. First, making a vacation plan can make sure that everything goes well. If you visit a place but you don’t book a hotel, you may have no place to stay at night. Second, you have lots of things to take with you for a vacation. You need to plan what things you have to buy and what things you need to put in bags. For example, you want to visit one place, but when you arrive at the airport (机场), you forget to bring your plane ticket! You may be late for the plane. Third, making a vacation plan can help you save a lot of money. No one wants to spend more money than they want to. If you surf the Internet before you go on a vacation, you may find some cheap plane tickets and hotel rooms. Next time when you go on a vacation, try to write down some plans. They can help you have more fun on a vacation. 28. The writer thinks that taking a trip with no plans is ________. A. interesting B. relaxing C. bad D. nice 29. From the passage, we can know it’s very important ________. A. to make a vacation plan B. to take a trip by plane C. to surf the Internet D. to visit with money 30. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Write down the plans first. B. Have a trip without any plans. C. Take things for a vacation. D. Make plans to help save money. 31. The passage mainly tells us ________. A. the reasons for making a vacation plan B. the importance of having a trip C. the way to make a vacation plan D. things to take with for a vacation D Many people enjoy watching movies in a cinema. They think the cinema has a better atmosphere (气氛) to enjoy the movie. However, I think people are happier and freer when watching movies at home. Watching movies at home is more comfortable. To watch movies in a cinema, you have to buy the ticket before you go there for a better seat. However, there is no need for people at home to worry about the ticket. They can enjoy movies at any time they like and with the most comfortable seat. What’s more, people watching movies at home wouldn’t have to face any traffic problems. It is free to watch movies at home. In the cinema, we cannot go outside and do something else because the movie won’t wait for us. Sometimes, if we miss part of the movie, we cannot follow the story. At home, we can pause at any time and go back to watch the part. All in all, a cinema is a good place to watch movies, but it isn’t the best place to enjoy the movies. I think watching movies at home is better. 32. What does the writer think of watching movies at home? A. Boring. B. Enjoyable. C. Interesting. D. Difficult. 33. What is not the reason for the writer’s watching movies at home? A. Save more time on the road. B. Don’t worry about the ticket. C. Feel happier and freer. D. Have a better atmosphere. 34. What does the underlined word “pause” mean in Chinese? A. 开启 B. 删除 C. 暂停 D. 复制 35. What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A. The writer enjoys watching movies in a cinema. B. Watching movies at home is better. C. A cinema is a good place to watch movies. D. It’s better to watch a movie than a TV show.
