Father’s Day has a very short history. It was started because there was a Mother’s Day, and just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother’s Day, we should also have a Father’s Day. Father’s Day has become important in North America. And shopkeepers found it was a good way to get people to buy a present for their fathers from their shops.
By the way, very few countries have a Father’s Day, though some have a Children’s Day, or a special day for boys and another for girls. More and more countries are having Mother’s Day, so maybe Father’s Day will also become popular before long. Now, what do people in North America do on Father’s Day? The newspapers, radios, and TV tell children what they should do — buy, buy, buy, buy, buy a Father’s Day present for your father. They even tell a wife to buy, buy, buy, and buy a Father’s Day present — not for her father but for her husband, even if he is not yet a father. And they tell grandchildren to buy, buy, buy, and buy a Father’s Day present for their grandfathers.
The important thing to remember about Father’s Day is that American children can show their love to their fathers in a more open way.
5. Father’s Day was started just because _____.
A there was a Mother’s Day
B. there was a Children’s Day
C. people liked their fathers
6 The underlined word “special” in the second paragraph means ______.
A. great B. usual C. unusual
7. In America, people have a Father’s Day to ______.
A. help their fathers do something
B. show their love for their fathers
C. let their fathers have a good rest
8. On Father’s Day, shopkeepers always want ______.
A people to buy much more presents
B. children to buy presents only for their fathers
C. women to buy presents only for their husbands

Hello Sandy,
We have just returned from our holiday. We went with our friends Edward Smith and his wife Tina to the Yorkshire Moors. This is a beautiful place. It is a natural park. There are lots of places to walk on the tops of the hills, miles of grassland with no people, just sheep and birds.
Edward, who had just come out of hospital, could not walk as far as he used to. However, this meant that we walked in the mornings, and then stopped at a cafe for lunch each day, before returning to the place we live. Edward and I slept in front of the fire all afternoon, while the ladies went for another walk. Very pleasant!
I have taken lots of photos from the place we live, across the valley (峡谷) below us, of the morning sunrise, and the mist (雾气) in the valley. Also, in England, the old steam powered trains (蒸汽火车) are very popular. I have taken many photos of the train from it.
Yesterday we had the first snow of this winter. It is very early (we usually expect snow in January). It rained all day, then snowed in the evening. Today we have bright sunshine!
Both Jenny and I are well. I don’t know if I told you, in the last e-mail, that Jenny is now working in a hotel. Although she has to work hard, people there are nice and she is enjoying the work.
Please write to us to tell us your news.
Yours,
Victor

My problem started after I went to a boarding school. I was only 14, and at first I missed my family a lot. I often called them and cried on the phone. But after two weeks, I found I enjoyed being with my classmates at school.
I had many friends who were boys. I thought of them as my best friends—but only friends. I never guessed my friendships with boys would become a problem.
Then, three months later, my friends told me that some teachers and girls said I was hanging out with boys all day long in order to get attention from them. Seven months after that, the head teacher Mr. Wang asked the class to choose some students to join the Student Union. I thought I could win for I was doing well in school. I’d already won prizes for the best math and English exams. A week later, the list came out and it didn’t include me. I was sad.
Mr. Wang came to me and said, “Don’t be sad. I know you’re excellent! Maybe. You’re a little distant from the girls in our class. They don’t know much about you, so some of them didn’t choose you. It doesn’t matter. Do your best to get along well with everyone and I think you’ll make it next time.”

Researchers have discovered the first Earth-sized planet. It was first marked by NASA’s Kepler telescope (望远镜), so it’s called Kepler-186f. It lies about 500 light years from Earth and goes around its star. The planet is the right distance from its star for water: not too close or not too far. Water is one important condition that scientists guess is necessary for life. So it could have water and possible life. It’s called a true Earth cousin.
“This planet is an Earth cousin, not an Earth twin,” said Barclay, who is among a team of scientists reporting on the discovery in the magazine Science this week.
“It’s very exciting to find a planet similar to the Earth,” Barclay said. “It’s not easy work because things change as we get more measurements.”
Scientists don’t know anything about the air of Kepler-186f, but it will be a task for future telescopes which can study for chemicals that have something to do with life.
“It’s possible for life to live in this planet, but that doesn’t mean there is life in it,” Barclay said.
So far, scientists have found nearly 1,800 planets in the universe.
“The past year has seen a lot of progress in the search for Earth-like planets. Kepler-186f is very important because it is the first planet that is the same temperature and is almost the same size as Earth,” scientist David Charbonneau wrote in an email.
17. Why was the first Earth-sized planet called Kepler-186f?
A. Because it is an Earth twin.
B. Because it lies about 500 light years from Earth.
C. Because it was first marked by NASA’s Kepler telescope.
18. Which of the following about Kepler-186f is NOT true according to the passage?
A. It’s almost as hot as and as large as Earth.
B. It has water and life, so perhaps we might live there.
C. In the future, scientists will study the chemicals of it by telescope.
19 Where can we probably read this article?
A. In a story book. B. In a newspaper. C. In a sport magazine.
20. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. The Journey to space.
B. Scientists discover the most Earth-like planet.
C. Is there water and possible life in Kepler-186f?

第二节 回答问题(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,然后根据短文内容简要回答下列问题。
This week we asked students at New Star High School about the best ways to learn more English. Many said they learnt by using English. Some students had more specific suggestions. Lillian Li, for example, said the best way to learn new words was by reading English magazines. She said that memorizing the words of pop songs also helped a little. When we asked about studying grammar, she said, “I never study grammar. It’s too boring.”
Wei Ming feels differently. He’s been learning English for six years and really loves it. He thinks studying grammar is a great way to learn a language. He also thinks that watching English movies isn’t a bad way because he can watch the actors say the words. Sometimes, however, he finds watching movies frustrating because the people speak too quickly.
Liu Chang said that joining the English club at school was the best way to improve her English. Students get lots of practice and they also have fun. She added that having conversations with friends was not helpful at all. “We get excited about something and then end up speaking in Chinese,” she said.
56. What were the students at New Star High School asked about?
_________________________________________________
57. Does Lillian Li spend much time studying grammar?

58. Why does Wei Ming think watching English movies is a good way?

Father’s Day has a very short history. It was started because there was a Mother’s Day, and just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother’s Day, we should also have a Father’s Day. Father’s Day has become important in North America. And shopkeepers found it was a good way to get people to buy a present for their fathers from their shops.
By the way, very few countries have a Father’s Day, though some have a Children’s Day, or a special day for boys and another for girls. More and more countries are having Mother’s Day, so maybe Father’s Day will also become popular before long. Now, what do people in North America do on Father’s Day? The newspapers, radios, and TV tell children what they should do — buy, buy, buy, buy, buy a Father’s Day present for your father. They even tell a wife to buy, buy, buy, and buy a Father’s Day present — not for her father but for her husband, even if he is not yet a father. And they tell grandchildren to buy, buy, buy, and buy a Father’s Day present for their grandfathers.
The important thing to remember about Father’s Day is that American children can show their love to their fathers in a more open way.
5. Father’s Day was started just because _____.
A. there was a Mother’s Day
B. there was a Children’s Day
C. people liked their fathers
6. The underlined word “special” in the second paragraph means ______.

第二节 回答问题(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,然后根据短文内容简要回答下列问题。
This week we asked students at New Star High School about the best ways to learn more English. Many said they learnt by using English. Some students had more specific suggestions. Lillian Li, for example, said the best way to learn new words was by reading English magazines. She said that memorizing the words of pop songs also helped a little. When we asked about studying grammar, she said, “I never study grammar. It’s too boring.”
Wei Ming feels differently. He’s been learning English for six years and really loves it. He thinks studying grammar is a great way to learn a language. He also thinks that watching English movies isn’t a bad way because he can watch the actors say the words. Sometimes, however, he finds watching movies frustrating because the people speak too quickly.
Liu Chang said that joining the English club at school was the best way to improve her English. Students get lots of practice and they also have fun. She added that having conversations with friends was not helpful at all. “We get excited about something and then end up speaking in Chinese,” she said.
