When I’m that way, I call a friend. My lonely mood soon disappear. Sometimes I feel excited, Like I have some news I have to share! My friends open their ears to me. They always listen, talk and care. Sometimes I feel so sad, Like my world is cold and darkest blue. At those times my friends let me know They’re with me, standing strong and true.

B There are many dolphins living in the sea near Qinzhou. Because of the dolphin, the small city becomes famous. Qinzhou is called the home of Dolphin. Do you want to know more about dolphins? Scientists agree that the dolphins are very smart animals. They communicate well and learn quickly and easily. Dolphins live in all the oceans of the world but are found most often in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. They are best known for living in the salt water oceans. But they have been known to live in some freshwater rivers, especially the Amazon in South America. They make their home in water but have to come to the surface to breathe. They have a slender body and a long, rounded nose. There is a hole on the top of their head that they use for breathing. As we all know, they are often shown on TV as blue, but they’re actually more of a gray color with a white belly (肚子). They can be many different weights, from almost 150 pounds to almost 1,500 pounds! They eat a lot of fish and squid (鱿鱼) each day, up to one-third of their body weight! They are very fast and powerful swimmer. They communicate and find their way around in the water using clicking sounds and whistles. 43. The dolphins have been known to live in ________. A. the Atlantic Ocean B. the Pacific Ocean C. the Amazon River D. the salt-water oceans and some freshwater rivers 44. The color of the dolphins is actually ________. A. blue B. grey C. grey and white D. blue and white 45. The dolphins mainly live on ________. A. salt water B. fresh water C. fish D. fish and squid C Now satellites (卫星) are helping to forecast (预报) the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere (大气), because this is where the weather forms (形成). They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists (气象专家) can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change. Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare (比较) them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this. So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for 3 or 5 days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead (提前). 46. Satellites travel ________. A. in space B. in the atmosphere C. above the ground D. above space 47. We use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere in space because ________. A. the weather satellites can do it easily B. clouds form there C. the weather forms there D. the pictures can forecast the weather 48 The main idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in ________. A. taking pictures of the atmosphere B. receiving pictures of the atmosphere C. doing other work in many ways D. weather forecasting D If you find yourself feeling little less cheerful than you were when days are going from summer to autumn, it’s not your imagination: There is a reason that you’re more likely to feel down in the cooler months. “It’s real,” said Kathryn Roecklein, an associate professor in University of Pittsburgh. “The changes don’t always affect (影响) everyone in the same way,” she added. “But seasonal mood (情绪) changes often include less energy, feeling less social, losing interest in favorite activities and changes in sleep—you may have trouble sleeping or want to sleep more than usual.” “There are a lot of reasons why our moods tend to change with the season, but big factor is ________. The hours of day, which are shortest in winter and longest in winter, are the main reasons,” said Roecklein. Sunsets are on their way to getting earlier and earlier as soon as autumn begins, so it’s not surprising if you feel those mood changes around the same time. One key point to remember about the “winter blues” is that it’s NOT something we cannot overcome (克服). Here are a few things you can do. First, get yourself bathed in the sun. A walk outside in the sun in the morning will surely make you feel better. Secondly, eat right. Try more fruit vegetables and drink plenty of water. Besides, make time for your friends. It is said that a good chat with your best friend makes your day. 49. According to the passage, people usually seem less cheerful in autumn than in summer because ________. A. They can’t enjoy summer holidays B. it’s only their imagination C. The nights are shorter than days D. cooler months make people feel down 50. Which of the following is the most suitable word for the blank “________” in Paragraph 3? A. wind B. sunlight C. time D. food 51. What does the underlined phrase “winter blues” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Feeling down in winter B. Loving thick blue clothes C. Painting houses blue in winter D. Listening to blues in winter 52. People are advised to do the following EXCEPT (除了) ________ when they have the “winter blues”. A. drinking more water B. going out to have a sunbath C. meeting their friends D. reading a book recommended by a friend 五、信息还原(共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分) 根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When we are trying to get to any personal purpose（目标）, one of the biggest problems is that we always put them off till tomorrow. ___53___ If you want to finish a purpose, you have to start on it today. So what can you do to find the time for your personal purposes? One purpose at a time. Often the problem is that we try to take on too many purposes. We have a list of things we want to achieve, reading a book, learning French and many other difficult things. Maybe we are interested in them, but because of that, we never start. ___54___ It’s difficult to keep the attention（注意力）and energy on too many purposes at once. ___55___ It’s not enough to say, “It would be nice to learn French”or”It would be cool to go running every morning”. It has to be something you really want. Ask yourself why you want to get to this purpose, and how much you want it. That’s important to do early on, or you won’t make time for it. Keep it easy. ___56___ You don’t want to have many things to do to achieve your purpose. Pay attention to a smaller purpose that will lend you to your bigger purpose. Stay focused（集中的）. ___57___ It’s easy to become crazy about something else, and when we lose focus, we suddenly stop making time for the purpose. Instead, find ways to keep the attention. A. Because tomorrow you have more time. B. But tomorrow never gets here. C. Focusing yourself on one purpose is important. D. Instead, we can start with choosing one purpose at a time. E. It’s important not to make your personal purpose too difficult. F. Make sure you really want it. G. You should keep attention on many different things. 六、词汇应用(共10小题;每小题1分，计10分) 58.

For example, some of the businessmen want to win a big market for their products. They are so dishonest that they don’t tell the truth (事实) about their products. When you are watching an interesting TV play, it is suddenly stopped by some ads. All above, people may get tired of ads.

Please try your best to finish the work with ________ money and ________ people. A. few; little B. a little; a few C less; fewer D. fewer; less 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】试题分析：句意：请尽你最大的努力用更少的钱和更少的人去完成这个任务。考查比较级的用法，money为不可数名词，因此用little 的比较级less; people为可数名词，因此用few的比较级fewer.故选 C 考点：考查比较级的用法。 25. Mary writes ________ than ________ student in her class. She is a hard-working girl. A. more careful; any other B. more carefully; any other C. more carefully; any D. more careful; any 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：玛丽写得比班上任何其他学生都认真。她是一个勤奋的女孩。 考查比较级，careful adj. 仔细的；carefully adv. 小心地。观察句子，这里修饰动词write，可知应该用副词carefully，并且这里有than，可知应该用比较级。根据“student in her class”，可知应该是比班上任何一个学生都认真。比较级句型：比较级+than+any other+名词单数，故选B。 26. ―These days, there're still many people living hard lives all over the world. ―Yes. You're right. Some countries are rich, others are quite poor. A. moreover B. otherwise C. but D. while 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——现在，世界上还有许多人过着艰苦的生活。——是的。你是对的。有些国家很富裕，而有些国家却很贫穷。 考查连词。A. moreover而且；B. otherwise否则；C. but但是；D. while然而；根据有些国家很富裕，有些国家很贫穷这两句话之间是转折关系，while和but都有转折的意思，但是表示转折的意思时，while同时含有表对比的意思！所以不用but，故选D。 27. The words are too small. I can’t see them _______. A. clear enough B. enough clear C. clearly enough D. enough clearly 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：这些字是如此的小，我不能看清楚它们。根据副词修饰动词see，排除A/B；根据enough修饰副词放在副词后；故选C 【点睛】形容词的用法，1.形容词可以修饰名词作定语，例如：a tall boy，2.形容词放在系动词的后面做表语，例如：I feel happy.副词的用法，1.副词修饰动词，例如：run fast;2.副词修饰形容词，例如：very happy 3.副词修饰其他的副词 ，例如：very fast 4.副词还可以修饰整个句子。 28. About seventy percent of our earth _______ by water. A. is covering B. is covered C. are covered D. are covering 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：地球上大约百分之七十被水覆盖。 考查动词短语和主谓一致。be covered with表示“被覆盖”，地球为一个整体，百分数的谓语跟它所修饰的名词一致，所以为单数。故选B。 29. She did what she could _______ us. Though 3,000 dollars is a lot of money for her. A. help B. helped C. helping D. to help 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：她尽她所能是为了帮助我们。虽然3000美元对她来说是一大笔钱。 此题考查非谓语动词。根据句意可知，“帮助我们”是“她尽她所能做事”的目的，应用动词不定式作目的状语。故选D。 30. — Lucy, isn’t the talk boring? —_________. You can learn a lot from it. A. I think so B. That’s right C. Yes, I agree D. No, not at all 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】试题分析：句意：露西,难道这个演讲不无聊吗？不,根本不是。你可以学到很多东西。根据下文能从其学到很多，说明前面是否定回答。故选D 考点：考查日常用语。 三、完形填空(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分) 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Birds can see colours, just as people do.

B 【解析】 【分析】这篇短文给我们讲述了一个科学知识，有些动物，如鸟类是可以看到颜色的，这可以帮助它们找食物和发现危险。但是有些动物，如狗、狼等，它们不能分辨颜色，但是狼的听觉很好，它们是靠猎物的移动来捕杀他们。 【31题详解】 句意：颜色帮助它们知道这个地方有多远，是什么样子的，这样它们就能在空中抓住正在飞的东西，或者降落在它们认为安全的地方。 how soon多久，多快；how far多远；how long多长时间；how fast多快，指速度。根据上句话“Birds can see colours, just as people do. Birds need to see colours when they fly because they need to find places to land（着陆）.”可知，鸟需要看到颜色，因为它们飞行的时候，需要找到地方着陆，所以颜色能够帮助它们知道那个地方有多远，故选B。 【32题详解】 句意：但对于其他一些动物，比如狼，世界看起来就像一张黑白照片。 other其他的，形容词；another另一个；others其他人或物，代词；the other两者中的另一个。此处说的是除了鸟以外其他的动物，作定语修饰animals，故选A。 【33题详解】 句意：狼主要通过听来寻找食物。 shouting喊叫；listening听；eating吃；moving移动。根据下文“They can hear…when the animals they hunt move.”可知，狼捕杀动物的时候，能够听到猎物的移动，所以它们是靠敏锐的听觉来寻找食物，故选B。 【34题详解】 句意：当它们捕猎的动物移动时，它们能清楚地听到。 slow慢的，形容词；slowly慢地，副词；clear清楚的，形容词；clearly清楚地，副词。这个空是来修饰动词hear的，应该用副词，应该是听得清楚，故选D。 【35题详解】 句意：例如，一只兔子会停止移动，当它发现有危险的东西。 dangerous危险的；safe安全的；slow慢的；fast快的。根据上下文“They can hear…when the animals they hunt move. But other animals seem to know this. For example, a rabbit will stop moving when it finds there is something…Then the wolves…not find it at all.”可知，狼是通过听动物的移动来捕杀动物，一些动物知道这个，所以当有危险的事物时，它们就会停止移动，这样狼就不会发现它们了。故选A。 【36题详解】 句意：然后狼可能根本不会发现它。 should应该；must必须；may可能，可以；need需要。如果猎物不移动的话，狼可能就不会发现它们了，这里只表示有这种可能，故选C。 【37题详解】 句意：有些鸟的视力比人的更好。 bigger更大的；smaller更小的；worse更差的；better更好的。根据than可知，这里是把鸟的视力和人的视力相比，再根据下句话“They can see dead insects from far away.”可知，鸟的视力更好，故选D。 【38题详解】 句意：当它们在空中飞的时候，它们能够看到小的昆虫。 when当……时候；till直到；where哪里；how怎样，如何。这里说的是鸟，它们是在空中飞的，这里是when引导时间状语从句，表示“当……时候”，故选A。 【39题详解】 句意：因为它们能看到颜色，所以它们能容易地找到食物，以及发现是否有其他对于它们来说危险的动物。 paint油漆，绘画；see看到；read阅读；watch观看。根据短文的开头“Birds can see colours”可知，鸟可以看到颜色，这是它们比较容易找到食物的原因，故选B。 【40题详解】 句意：因为它们能看到颜色，所以它们能容易地找到食物，以及发现是否有其他对于它们来说危险的动物。 find发现，找到；find out查明；look看；look for寻找。根据“if (是否) there are other animals that are dangerous to them”可知，此处指查明的结果，故选B。 四、阅读理解(共12小题;每小题2分，满分24分) 请认真阅读下列材料，从材料后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Sometimes Sometimes I feel lonely, Like I’m by myself with no one there.

They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere (大气), because this is where the weather forms (形成). They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists (气象专家) can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change. Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare (比较) them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this. So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for 3 or 5 days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead (提前). 46. Satellites travel ________. A. in space B. in the atmosphere C. above the ground D. above space 47.

The hours of day, which are shortest in winter and longest in winter, are the main reasons,” said Roecklein. Sunsets are on their way to getting earlier and earlier as soon as autumn begins, so it’s not surprising if you feel those mood changes around the same time. One key point to remember about the “winter blues” is that it’s NOT something we cannot overcome (克服). Here are a few things you can do. First, get yourself bathed in the sun. A walk outside in the sun in the morning will surely make you feel better. Secondly, eat right. Try more fruit vegetables and drink plenty of water. Besides, make time for your friends. It is said that a good chat with your best friend makes your day. 49. According to the passage, people usually seem less cheerful in autumn than in summer because ________. A. They can’t enjoy summer holidays B. it’s only their imagination C. The nights are shorter than days D. cooler months make people feel down 50.
