He asked Lu Su not to tell Zhou Yu what was happening. When Lu Su came again to see Zhuge Liang, he found nothing unusual. Nothing happened on the second day, either. On the early morning of the third day, Zhuge Liang invited Lu Su for a boat ride. The 20 boats were tied together. Zhuge’s fleet went towards the camp of Cao Cao. The surface of the river was covered with thick mist (浓雾). People could hardly see each other on the river. When Zhuge’s fleet got close to the Cao camp, Zhuge Liang ordered his soldiers to shout and beat drums heavily to pretend an attack (假装进攻). But Zhuge Liang and Lu Su only sat inside one boat drinking wine to enjoy themselves. As soon as the Cao camp heard the shouting and drum beating, they thought it was a surprise attack by the Zhou Yu camp. They could see nobody on the river, so they had to order 3, 000 soldiers to shoot arrows to stop the sudden attack. One side of the scarecrows was quickly full of arrows. When both sides were full of arrows, the day broke. Zhuge Liang ordered his soldiers to return.

The National Christmas Tree Association (协会) says more than 35 million of them were bought last year in the United States. In large American cities, many people buy trees that have already been cut. But many people drive to a tree farm and cut their own tree. Some buy trees online, and the tree is then delivered to their home. It is said that 10.9 million artificial (人造的) trees were sold in 2012, compared to 24.5 million natural trees. The average cost of a natural tree was $40 and about $70 for an artificial one. Most Christmas trees are now grown on farms. The trees take six to ten years to grow to become Christmas trees. Real trees are better for the environment, that is because as Christmas trees grow, they collect carbon dioxide and other gases while supplying (提供) fresh oxygen. The trees also protect water supplies. Some people throw away their natural trees when the holiday season ends. But many people recycle them. There are many ways to do this. Christmas trees can be cut up to be used as fertilizer (肥料). They can also be cut and used to prevent the wearing down of soil. Artificial trees which come mostly from China can be reused for years. Families use them for an average of six to nine years before throwing them away. 71．How many trees were bought last year in the United States?   72．Many people drive to a tree farm to buy trees online, don’t they?   73．How long do the trees take to become Christmas trees?   74．Why are real trees better for the environment? 75．Which do you prefer, a natural tree or an artificial one? 七、书面表达（共20分） 76．文学经典多指具有极高的美学价值，并在漫长的历史中经受考验而获得公认地位的伟大文本。为激励同学们阅读经典，你校英语报社以“Reading classics”为话题发起征文，请结合你的阅读经历，分享你对阅读经典的感悟，并针对“读经典”给出相应的建议，以供他人借鉴学习。 要求： 1. 120词左右； 2. 文中不得出现自己的姓名和所在学校的名称； 3. 开头已给出，不计入总字数。 参考信息： Reading classics reason(s) advice what to read when to read how to read … As Francis Bacon said, “Reading makes a full man.” Reading classics is especially meaningful to us teenagers. ____________________________________________ _________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案： 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 A B C B B C C B C A 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 C B B B B B C C A A 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 C C A B B C D B A C 题号 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 答案 D A C C B A B A D D 题号 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 答案 D B A C D B C C D A 题号 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 答案 C A B A B D D B C A 61．cities 62．sent 63．planets 64．nearest 65．Plants 66．shines 67．looks 68．us 69．hundred 70．flies 71．More than 35 million trees. 72．No, they don’t. 73．Six to ten years. 74．Because they collect carbon dioxide and other gases while supplying fresh oxygen.

First of all, we can read more classics in our holidays or spare time, such as A Dream of Red Mansions, Journey to the West and so on. At the same time, we should share our thoughts with others and take notes carefully. Through practicing reading between the lines and beyond the lines, you find your comprehension ability stably improved. I hope that everyone can get into the habit of reading, which can bring us a lot of pleasure. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
