The 65 thing is to do nothing．Laura Mills, a teenager from London, agrees, “Problems and 66 are normal in life,” says Laura, “but I think 67 someone helps a lot．If we don’t talk to anyone, we’ll certainly feel worse.” Robert Hunt, a youth work from England, 68 the same way．“In English we say that a problem 69 is a problem halved．As a social worker, I have to agree with this．We should never 70 away from our problems．We should always try to solve them．Usually, the first step is to find someone we can talk to.” （二）根据短文及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使其意思完整。（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） When I was a child, I once saw a TV program about ancient China．A word in the program caught my a 71 : Inheritance(传承)．I asked Grandpa what inheritance was．Grandpa smiled but didn’t say anything．He t 72 out a Chinese zither(古筝) from a box and played it.“What you saw and what you heard is inheritance,” he said． When I grew up, I neither learned the Chinese zither nor folk music, but the piano i 73 ．After several years’ playing the p 74 , my skills were praised by my teachers and classmates．One day, a teacher of the folk music club asked for my h 75 ．Because the boy who played the Chinese zither in their team was ill．She hoped I could took his place for a while．There was a huge d 76 between the piano and Chinese zither．But I still wanted to have a try.

Although the performance of the club was over, I still stayed in the folk music club and l 79 to play the Chinese zither．The boy I replaced was very thankful to me and taught me how to play it! Inheritance isn’t far f 80 us．It is in our daily life．It is never a difficult word to understand．The historical traditions of China are connected with everyone. 五、读写综合（满分30分） （一）阅读并回答问题。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） When you picture a leaf in your mind, what colour is it? You may say “green”．As a matter of fact, that’s not true．The green colour is from a chemical called chlorophyll(叶绿素)．Without chlorophyll, a green plant would not be able to survive． Chlorophyll helps plants produce food through photosynthesis(光合作用)．During photosynthesis, chlorophyll takes in sunlight．This gives the plant energy．The leaves use the energy to mix CO₂ with water．This helps food production． In autumn, days become shorter and shorter．There is less sunlight for plants．When winter comes, there is less water in the air．With less water and sunlight, photosynthesis slows down．Then leaves stop producing chlorophyll, so plants stop producing food．When the green chlorophyll disappears, other colours such as yellow and orange appear on the leaves．In fact, these colours are always there and they are nearly covered up by chlorophyll before．As soon as leaves stop producing chlorophyll, they change colour, die, and fall from the tree．In spring, days become longer．The weather becomes warmer and there is much more water in the air．So new green leaves can grow healthily and quickly． Above all, photosynthesis is the food-making and energy process(过程) for plants to survive．Without photosynthesis, plants would not be able to live and grow. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 81．What makes the leaves look green? 82．What does chlorophyll need when the leaves produce food? 83．Why does photosynthesis slow down? 84．When do the leaves die and fall from the tree? 85．What do you think of photosynthesis? （二）书面表达。（满分20分） 随着生活水平的提高，健康越来越受到重视，健康包括身体(physical)健康和心理(mental)健康。学校英语俱乐部组织主题为“How to live a healthy and happy life”的演讲比赛。根据下面的提示，写一篇短文参赛。 ( What ’ s your life like?

If you do, you need to take control of your feelings and stop getting angry so easily. Getting angry with people can cause you to lose friends. Allen Ribet, an American high school teacher, has written a book to help you control your feelings. It tells you how to stay cool when bad things happen to you. The book says that getting angry only makes problems worse. It can never make them better. Getting angry is not a natural way to show your feelings. The books says all you have to do is to tell yourself not to be angry. When a baby falls over, it only cries if people are watching it. Like a baby you should get angry only if you are sure it’s the right thing to do. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
