A. twelve B. the twelfth C. twelfth 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：今天是玲玲十二岁的生日。 考查数词。twelve十二，基数词；twelfth第十二，序数词。birthday“生日”前用序数词，序数词前已经有修饰词“Lingling’s”，所以不需要加the。故选C。 3.

No deal. B. Sorry, I won’t. C. Good luck. 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——不要在图书馆里大喊大叫！——对不起，我不会了。 考查交际用语。No deal没有交易；Sorry, I won’t对不起，我不会了；Good luck祝好运。根据“Don’t shout in the library!”可知是一种否定的祈使句，应该用“Sorry, I won’t.”来表示不会再出现那种状况，故选B。 三、补全对话（共5小题，每小题1分，共5分） 根据对话内容，从下面选出恰当的句子补全对话，有一个选项是多余的。 Zoo: Hi, Anna!

In this chat room, parents are talking about some of the problems they have with their children. Is it ever OK to lie to a child? My 10-year-old son plays soccer.

You’re a great soccer player!” Did I do the right thing? Yes, you did the right thing. Sometimes you have to tell lies that are not harmful. It’s necessary to tell white lies in life. Your purpose was to make him feel good. Now he’s ready to play soccer again. I don’t think there is ever a good reason to lie to our children. Parents are children’s examples. We should be honest in order to teach honesty to our children. If you keep hiding truth from them, they will not trust you or respect you. Honesty is the first step to build a good relationship between parents and children. You lied to make your son feel better, but you missed a good chance to teach him a life lesson. People should work hard for what they want. Maybe next time you can say, “No! You didn’t play well today. Great soccer players practice a lot. Let’s go and practice.” The truth will make him strong and a good soccer player. Parents should be honest to their children, but they don’t have to tell the whole truth. Next time when your son asks, “Did I play well?” you can say, “What do you think?” Then your son can tell you what he thinks. That way, everything you say is true, and you avoid the truth that hurts him. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 31. Where are the parents talking? A. In the classroom. B. In an online chat room. C. In a meeting room. 32. What’s Marisa’s trouble? A. She lied to her son. B. Her son didn’t play soccer well. C. Her son loved playing soccer. 33. The underlined words “white lies” mean “________”. A. the lies which are white B. the lies that are not harmful C. the truth that makes people sad 34. How many people think Marisa did wrong in this passage? A. Three people. B. Four people. C. Five people. 35. Which of the following is Parviz’s opinion? A. To be honest is the first step to a good parent-child relationship. B. Telling a lie may make parents miss a good chance to teach their children. C. It’s a good way for parents to be honest to their children, but try not to hurt them. 【答案】31. B 32. A 33. B 34. A 35.

You’re a great soccer player!’”可知，Marisa的问题是，自己的儿子不擅长踢足球，但自己却撒谎孩子踢得很好。故选A。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Sometimes you have to tell lies that are not harmful.”及“Your purpose was to make him feel good.”可知，这种谎言是无害的，且让人感觉很好。划线词“white lies”意为“无害的谎言”。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据Bernie “I don’t think there is ever a good reason to lie to our children.”；Missy “You lied to make your son feel better, but you missed a good chance to teach him a life lesson.”；Parviz “Parents should be honest to their children, but they don’t have to tell the whole truth.”可知，Bernie，Missy以及Parviz三个人都认为Marisa的做法是不正确的。故选A。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Parents should be honest to their children, but they don’t have to tell the whole truth. ...That way, everything you say is true, and you avoid the truth that hurts him.”可知，Parviz认为父母要对孩子诚实，但也要避免伤害到他们。故选C。 C That wasn’t a sunny day, but we felt very happy because we went to the Shanghai Waterworks Museum.

If you do, here is a simple way to help you improve your sleep. You may need to see more sunlight, especially in the morning, according to a study. A team of researchers from New York, US did the study, reported Yahoo News. The team did a study on 109 office workers across the US. Some of the workers saw lots of light during the morning hours, between 8 a. m. and lunchtime. The researchers found that these workers had a better sleep than other workers. They also fell asleep more quickly at night. Why is sunlight so important to our sleep? Researchers say it helps us set our “body clock”. When there is less and less sunlight at the end of the day, our body starts to make melatonin (褪黑素). It makes us feel sleepy so that we know it’s time to go to bed. Our body makes the most melatonin at night. But during the day, sunlight tells our body to make less melatonin so that we can stay awake and do our work. Researchers suggest that we should see fifteen minutes of sunlight in the morning. It can help balance the melatonin in our bodies. 根据语篇内容， 选择最佳选项。 41. How can we improve sleep from paragraph 1? A.

If you want to balance the melatonin in your bodies, you can see ________. A. 50 minutes of sunlight at night B. 15minutes of sunlight in the morning C. half an hour of sunlight in the morning 45.

Read the following solutions (方法) to protect yourself. Keep the door locked when you are at home alone. Many people think it’s the best way to protect themselves. Keep a list of phone numbers to call for help such as 110, the police station or a neighbour’s number. Be careful with the electrical appliances (电器). If you don’t know how to use them, ask your parents. Make a safety check before going to sleep. Look through the peephole (窥视孔) when you hear the doorbell ring. If there are strangers, ask “Who’s that?” with the door locked and say “Come back later”. Don’t tell them that your parents are away. Say “Mum’s having a shower” or “Dad’s having a sleep”. To ignore (忽视) the doorbell is not a good idea because sometimes bad people ring doorbells to see if anyone’s at home. 根据语篇内容，判断下列句子正误，正确的在答题卡上将“T”涂黑，错误的在答题卡上将“F”涂黑。 26. Keeping the door locked when you are home alone is the best way to protect yourself. 27. You can call 110 as you like even if you’re not in danger. 28.

Open the door quickly when someone knocks at the door. B Here are the posts in a chat (聊天) room on the Internet. In this chat room, parents are talking about some of the problems they have with their children. Is it ever OK to lie to a child? My 10-year-old son plays soccer. He’s not very good at it, but he loves it. Yesterday he played very badly but happily. When he finished the game, he asked, “Did I play well?” I said, “Yes! You’re a great soccer player!” Did I do the right thing? Yes, you did the right thing. Sometimes you have to tell lies that are not harmful. It’s necessary to tell white lies in life. Your purpose was to make him feel good. Now he’s ready to play soccer again. I don’t think there is ever a good reason to lie to our children. Parents are children’s examples. We should be honest in order to teach honesty to our children. If you keep hiding truth from them, they will not trust you or respect you. Honesty is the first step to build a good relationship between parents and children. You lied to make your son feel better, but you missed a good chance to teach him a life lesson. People should work hard for what they want. Maybe next time you can say, “No! You didn’t play well today. Great soccer players practice a lot. Let’s go and practice.” The truth will make him strong and a good soccer player. Parents should be honest to their children, but they don’t have to tell the whole truth. Next time when your son asks, “Did I play well?” you can say, “What do you think?” Then your son can tell you what he thinks. That way, everything you say is true, and you avoid the truth that hurts him. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 31. Where are the parents talking? A. In the classroom. B. In an online chat room. C. In a meeting room. 32. What’s Marisa’s trouble? A. She lied to her son. B. Her son didn’t play soccer well. C. Her son loved playing soccer. 33. The underlined words “white lies” mean “________”. A. the lies which are white B. the lies that are not harmful C. the truth that makes people sad 34. How many people think Marisa did wrong in this passage? A. Three people. B. Four people. C. Five people. 35. Which of the following is Parviz’s opinion? A. To be honest is the first step to a good parent-child relationship. B. Telling a lie may make parents miss a good chance to teach their children. C. It’s a good way for parents to be honest to their children, but try not to hurt them. C That wasn’t a sunny day, but we felt very happy because we went to the Shanghai Waterworks Museum. First, we went to a grey building. When we entered it, we saw a map on the floor. We met each other happily. On the map there was the Yangtze River, the Huangpu River, and so on. Then, we saw a large fish bowl in the wall. But there were only five plastic (塑料的) fish. That means if we waste water, we will no longer see real fish. Next, we went upstairs. There we saw a big blue poster. There was a water tap at the top of the poster and the earth was under the water tap (水龙头). It tells us we should save water. The No.3121 water supply station was found on the left side of the poster. An old man was writing on the blackboard. Two women were washing some clothes. At that time, there were stones in the water. The man was writing the number of the stones in the water. After that, we went to the first floor. We took some photographs there. We left the museum at eleven o’clock in the morning. Every one of us had an interesting and meaningful experience that day. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 36. What can we see on the floor of the museum? A. A map. B. A fish. C. A river. 37.

At 11 am. C. At 7 am. 40. How did the writer feel about the experience? A. Tiring. B. Boring. C. Interesting and meaningful. D Do you have a sleep problem? If you do, here is a simple way to help you improve your sleep. You may need to see more sunlight, especially in the morning, according to a study. A team of researchers from New York, US did the study, reported Yahoo News. The team did a study on 109 office workers across the US. Some of the workers saw lots of light during the morning hours, between 8 a. m. and lunchtime. The researchers found that these workers had a better sleep than other workers. They also fell asleep more quickly at night. Why is sunlight so important to our sleep? Researchers say it helps us set our “body clock”. When there is less and less sunlight at the end of the day, our body starts to make melatonin (褪黑素). It makes us feel sleepy so that we know it’s time to go to bed. Our body makes the most melatonin at night. But during the day, sunlight tells our body to make less melatonin so that we can stay awake and do our work. Researchers suggest that we should see fifteen minutes of sunlight in the morning. It can help balance the melatonin in our bodies. 根据语篇内容， 选择最佳选项。 41. How can we improve sleep from paragraph 1? A. See more sunlight. B. Stay up late. C. Set the clock. 42. What’s the result of the study by the team of researchers? A. The researchers of the team are popular with the workers. B. The workers who worked in the US can fall asleep more quickly at night. C. The workers who saw lots of sunlight had a better sleep than other workers. 43. What can we learn from the passage? A. Sunlight can help us set our “body clock”. B. Sunlight makes us feel sleepy. C. Our body makes the least melatonin at night. 44. If you want to balance the melatonin in your bodies, you can see ________. A. 50 minutes of sunlight at night B. 15minutes of sunlight in the morning C. half an hour of sunlight in the morning 45. Where is the best title of the passage? A. How to improve your sleep B. Sunlight is important C. A study on melatonin 六、选词填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分，共15分） 根据语篇内容，从方框中选择恰当的单词，并用其正确形式填空。将单词填写在答题卡对应的横线上。每个单词只能用一次。 poem one country celebrate national begin widely his although place The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional Chinese festival.
