We have learned the history of ancient China as well. Climbing Mount Hua is one of the most important things to do in Shaanxi. There are five main peaks and many other peaks.

Mark and Timo were glad that they weren’t lugging (用力拖) cans today. It was Wednesday yesterday, and it took hours to get all of the cans they had saved to the recycling center. Today, the boys had to know how much money they got and what to do with it. They talked about bikes and basketballs. They dreamed about rockets and hot air balloons (气球). As they walked, Mark bent over and picked up a can without even thinking about it. When he saw the can in his hand, he laughed. “Old habits die hard,” Timo said. “Maybe we had better buy more rubbish bags!” Mark and Timo were still laughing about picking up cans when they caught up with Mr. Timmons. “Hi. Mr. Timmons,” smiled Timo, “Where are you heading?” Mr. Timmons seemed pleased to see them. “Well, I’m on my way to help at the food pantry (食品柜).” “What goes on there?” Mark asked. “Oh, they always need to help pack or unpack cans of food,” Mr. Timmons answered, “The pantry helps those people who don’t have enough money to buy food.” “Not enough money for food?” said the boys together.

Dig deeply into a big, unfamiliar word and you will understand where it came from. As readers, especially those reading in a second language, we need to deal with the text as if we were detectives (侦探) looking for information to unlock the unknown. Like any good detective arriving on the crime scene, the first thing to do when meeting a new and difficult word is to judge the situation, to look at everything that is known and see if it helps us to understand what it means. As you know, prefixes (前缀) and suffixes (后缀) can be added to the beginning or end of words to change the meaning. Know them, and you will have the word building power. But root words are the key. Take time to learn a few of these, put them in your memory, and you will become a master word detective. Let’s look at one common root word used in English. “Alter” from the Latin word means “other”. When you meet this root word, you know that the bigger word has something to do with “other”. Examine the word “alternate”. Can you find the Latin root in it? ·If you and your friend like to eat out, first you pay and the other pays the next time. You are alternating paying. ·If you go to the movies on alternate Saturdays, you go on one Saturday, but not the other Saturday. ·If you have no alternative, you have no other choice. Learn as many root words as possible in the language you are studying. Then use your “rooting for words” skills. Like any new skill, practice and hard work are always paid back. 41．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．The situation. B．The crime scene. C．A new and difficult word. D．Everything that is known. 42．If Jim and Lily go to the movies, which one below is “alternating paying”? A．They each pay half. B．Jim pays every time. C．They take turns paying. D．Their parents pay for them. 43．How does the author explain his ideas about root words? A．By giving a fact. B．By taking an example. C．By telling a story. D．By having a discussion. 44．“Sen” from the Latin word means “old”. Which word uses this Latin root? A．My brother is my senior by two years. B．He was ill so he was absent from school. C．A criminal was sentenced to death by law. D．60 students were present at the sports meeting. 45．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? (①=paragraph 1   ②=paragraph 2,…) A．B．C． D． 第二部分 非选择题(55分) 四、任务型阅读 阅读下面短文, 请根据短文内容, 在文后表格中填入恰当的单词, 每空 一词。 (共10空；每空1. 5分, 满分15分) Many people dream of traveling into space (太空). However, if people spend too much time in space may cause health problems, according to NASA．That’s why astronauts shouldn’t spend more than six months on the International Space Station (ISS) at a time. Muscle shrinking (肌肉萎缩) and bone loss In a weightless environment, spacemen don’t need to use their muscles to support themselves. So their muscles start shrinking. To keep their muscles strong, spacemen need about two hours’ exercise each day on the space station. The weightless environment also makes spacemen’s bones lose over 1 percent of minerals (矿物质) a month. However, the bones of people on Earth only lose 1 to 1.5 percent of minerals a year. Sleep trouble In space, the sun comes out every 90 minutes. On Earth, the sun comes out every 12 hours. When spacemen sleep, they need to sleep in sleeping bags. The sleeping bags are not comfortable because they float (漂浮) in the air. Spacemen now have their own sleeping pods (睡眠舱) that help keep out some of the light. Still, studies find that most spacemen only sleep about six hours each night, even though they should have eight and a half hours. Brain (大脑) changes Scientists find that the place of the brain changes when a spaceman is in space. It goes up into the skull (头骨). So some spacemen can’t balance (平衡) themselves after going back to Earth. Scientists also find that spacemen’ brains may keep in the skull after going into space many times. But they still need to study it. Introduction Spending too much time in space may 46 to health problems. Health problems Muscle shrinking and bone loss Sleep trouble Brain changes 47 ◆In an environment 48 weight, spacemen don’t need to use their muscles to support themselves. ◆Spacemen’s bones lose 49 minerals in space than on Earth. ◆When spacemen sleep, they can’t 50 the correct time easily. ◆The sleeping bags are 51 because they float in the air. ◆The place of the brain changes when in space 52 some spacemen can’t balance themselves after going back to Earth. ◆Spacemen may keep this change after going into space many times. Ways Spacemen need about two 53 exercise each day on the space station. Spacemen now have their own sleeping pods, but they still don’t have 54 sleep. Scientists still need to study it. Spacemen stay on the space station for less than six 55 at a time. 五、综合填空 (共10空；每空1. 5分, 满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处根据所给首字母填入一个单词或括号内单词的正确形式。      When I was in Grade 8, I was not good at study. In fact, my teacher thought I was the 56 (bad) student in our class. My family also had the same idea 57 my teacher.      When I was ready to give up my study, 58 new teacher, Miss Wang, appeared in our school. One day, I sat 59 (quiet) and sadly in the classroom. Miss Wang came up to me and asked me 60 .      “Do you think I can go to the best high school in town?” I asked.      I thought she must say “NO”. But she said, “Dear, anything in the world may happen. Just try 61   (you) best and you can be much closer to your dream. I’m sure you are the best.”     With tears in my 62 (eye), I 63 (decide) to be an excellent student. From then on, I studied 64 (hard) than before and made my dream 65 (come) true—I went to the best high school in the end. 六、书面表达(满分25分) 66．假如你是李磊，你在英国的笔友Andy给你发来电子邮件，想了解你近阶段的学习、生活情况。请认真阅读下面的邮件，根据信中的内容及你的实际用英语回复。 To:lilei@china.com From:andyblack@britain.com Subject: Study & life Dear Li Lei, It is nearly two months since I last received your email.

However, the bones of people on Earth only lose 1 to 1.5 percent of minerals a year.”可知，失重的环境也可以让宇航员的骨骼每个月流失超过1%的矿物质，地球上的人们每年骨骼只流失1%至1.5%的矿物质，由此可知，宇航员的骨骼流失比在地球上多，结合横线后“than”可知，此处应该填入more，意为“更多的”符合题意。故填more。 50．根据“In space, the sun comes out every 90 minutes. On Earth, the sun comes out every 12 hours.”可知，在太空中，太阳每90分钟出来一次。在地球上，太阳每12小时出来一次。由此可推测出，对他们来说判断时间很难，结合横线前“can’t”可知，情态动词can后面用动词原形，所以此处填入tell，动词，意为“判断”符合题意。故填tell。 51．根据“The sleeping bags are not comfortable because they float (漂浮) in the air.”可知，此处指不舒服，结合横线前“are”可知，此处应该填入uncomfortable，形容词，作表语，意为“不舒服的”符合题意。故填uncomfortable。 52．根据“Scientists find that the place of the brain changes when a spaceman is in space. It goes up into the skull (头骨). So some spacemen can’t balance (平衡) themselves after going back to Earth.”可知，大脑在太空中的位置会发生变化，因此一些宇航员在返回地球后无法保持平衡。所以此处应该填入连词so，意为“因此”符合题意。故填so。 53．根据“To keep their muscles strong, spacemen need about two hours’ exercise each day on the space station.”可知，为了保持肌肉强健，宇航员每天需要在空间站锻炼大约两个小时。故填hours’。 54．根据“Spacemen now have their own sleeping pods (睡眠舱) that help keep out some of the light. Still, studies find that most spacemen only sleep about six hours each night, even though they should have eight and a half hours.”可知，研究仍然发现大多数宇航员每晚大约只睡7个小时，他们应该有8个半小时的睡眠。由此可知，此处应该表达宇航员现在有自己的睡眠舱，但他们仍然没有足够的睡眠，所以填入enough，形容词，修饰限定名词sleep。故填enough。 55．根据“That’s why astronauts shouldn’t spend more than six months on the International Space Station (ISS) at a time.”可知，此处表示六个月，month“月份”，复数形式是months。故填months。 56．worst 57．as 58．a 59．quietly 60．why 61．your 62．eyes 63．decided 64．harder 65．come 【导语】作者讲诉了自己在学习上的一段经历。 56．句意：我的老师认为我是最差的学生。由“I was the … (bad) student in our class”可知，此处应用形容词的最高级，worst是其最高级形式。故填worst。 57．句意：我的家人也和我的老师有同样的想法。the same as“与……一样”，固定搭配。故填as。 58．句意：当我打算放弃学习时，一名新老师，王老师出现了在我们的学校。由“… new teacher”可知，此处应用不定冠词，new是辅音音素开头，应用a。故填a。 59．句意：一天，我安静地悲伤地坐在教室里面。由“I sat … (quiet) and sadly in the classroom”可知，此处应用副词修饰动词。故填quietly。 60．句意：王小姐走到我面前问我为什么。由“One day, I sat quietly and sadly in the classroom”可知，作者悲伤地坐着，老师走过来应该是问他为什么那么难过，why“为什么”。故填why。 61．句意：然而，她说：“亲爱的，世界上任何事情都可能发生。只要努力，你就会更接近你的梦想。我相信你是最棒的。”try one’s best“尽某人最大的努力”，固定搭配。故填your。 62．句意：眼里含着泪水，我决定做一个勤奋的学生。由常识可知，眼睛有两只，应用复数形式。故填eyes。 63．句意：眼里含着泪水，我决定做一个勤奋的学生。由“When I was in Grade 8”可知，文章用的是一般过去时，应用其过去式。故填decided。 64．句意：从那时起，我比以前更努力地学习，实现了我的梦想——我最终上了最好的高中。由“than”可知，应用比较级形式。故填harder。 65．句意：从那时起，我比以前更努力地学习，实现了我的梦想——我最终上了最好的高中。make sb. do sth.“让某人做某事”。故填come。 66．例文 Dear Andy, Thank you for your email. I am very glad to tell you something about my study and life. My school life is interesting and colourful here. We can choose our favourite subjects to study. Of all the subjects, English is my favourite. In class we practise listening and speaking. My English teacher is kind to us. Max is my best friend. He is the tallest boy in my class and wears small round glasses. He has a good sense of humour. He tells funny jokes and always makes me laugh. I am crazy about DIY too. I often use fruit in season to make a fruit salad. For example, mixing all kinds of fruits together will make the salad look very colourful. I think it is fun. I hope I can be a master of DIY. How about your study and life? I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
