If it matched with the natural scene, it would be the most beautiful picture. If wind had colors, in spring it should be green. Flowers come out in spring. When green wind blew around, all the flowers seemed to be surrounded by green leaves. How beautiful it is! The wind in summer should be light blue, because it is too hot. When the light blue wind blew over, you would seem to be in a swimming pool. How cool! The wind in autumn should be golden because autumn is the harvest time, and golden color makes us have harvest feelings. The wind in winter should be light yellow. When light yellow wind blew on white snow, it was very warm. If wind had colors, the world would be more colorful. 26. Match (匹配) the colors of wind with the seasons and choose the right answer. ①Spring a. light blue ②Summer b. golden ③Autumn c. green ④Winter d. light yellow A. ①c; ②a; ③b; ④d B. ①a; ②c; ③b; ④d C. ①a; ②b; ③c; ④d D. ①c; ②a; ③d; ④b 27. The passage is written in the order (顺序) of ________. A. space B. persons C. time D. ideas 28. What makes the world more colorful according to the passage? A. The colorful flowers and leaves. B. The white snow in winter. C. The harvest time in autumn. D. The colors of the wind. B Tom came to his teacher and asked him, “Sir, I have a question. How many friends should a person have — one or many?” “It is very simple,” the teacher answered. “Get me that red apple from the highest branch (树枝) of the tree.” Tom looked up and said, “It’s too high! I can’t reach it.” “Ask a friend. Maybe he can help,” the teacher suggested. Tom called another student and stood on his shoulders (肩膀) to reach the branch. “I still can’t reach it, sir,” said Tom sadly after the first try. “Don’t you have more friends?” the teacher smiled. Tom asked more friends to come over. They stood on each other’s shoulders, trying to make a human pyramid (金字塔). But the apple was so high that they couldn’t go higher and the pyramid fell. Tom still couldn’t reach the apple. Then one of the friends went home, brought a ladder (梯子) and Tom finally picked the apple. After getting the apple, the teacher asked, “So, do you understand how many friends a person needs?” “Yes, I do,” Tom said. “Many, so together we can work out any problem.” “Sounds good,” the teacher said. “You need as many friends as you can. Among them, there will be at least one smart person who can think of a good idea, like getting a ladder!” 29. What did the teacher ask Tom to do at first? A. To pick the red apple for him. B. To find the answer in books. C. To do his homework. D. To work with Tom’s friends. 30. What can Tom learn from his teacher? A. He has as many friends as he needs. B. He needs at least one smart friend. C. He has to be friendly to all the friends. D. He should have many friends. 31. How did the teacher answer Tom’s question? A. By telling him a story about apples. B. By reading the answer. C. By asking him to learn by doing. D. By drawing an apple tree. C Nature’s warnings (警告) When the sky suddenly turns dark and the wind is strong, watch out! A dangerous storm might be coming. Storms are frightening. Watch for flashes of lightning. Listen for thunder. If nature sends these warnings, don’t wait for rain. Act right away to keep safe. Safety Steps At the first flash of lightning, quickly get inside a building or a car. Do not go into a shed (棚屋) for protection. It is not closed like a building, so it is not safe. Even after you are indoors, be careful. It is not smart to go near doors and windows. They can blow in or break. A room with no windows is the safest place to be. Do not wash your hands during a storm. Do not use anything that runs on electricity, either. Water and electrical lines are like roads for lightning. Even if you really want to play computer games, don’t! It is better to be bored than to get hurt. Try reading a book instead. Reading is more fun than playing computer games. If you can’t get to somewhere safe, stay out in the open. You may feel safe under a tree, but that is not a good place to be. Lightning is pulling toward tall poles and trees. Stay down in an open space and cover your ears to protect them. Loud thunder can hurt your hearing. Lightning Strikes (雷击) Lightning does not strike people very often. You might often see that happen. If you do, call 120. Only trained emergency workers should care for a person who has been hit by lightning. If you follow these rules, you will stay safe during a storm. 32. From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________. A. storms are frightening and dangerous B. storms often come without warnings C. people should wait and watch lightning D. people should take action after the storm 33. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________. A. a building B. a shed C. a car D. a room 34. What is the safest place for us to stay? a. A room with many windows when we’re indoors. b. The school playground. c. Under a big tree when we’re in the open. d. A room with no windows. A. ab. B. bc. C. cd. D. bd. 35. Where can we read this passage? A. In a story magazine. B. In a travelling magazine. C. In a science magazine. D. In a sports magazine. D A winter morning, I was giving a talk on a square on Fifth Street. The wind was strong. There was an old man sitting in a chair in front of me. It seemed that he lost his legs. And I saw that when I told how Cookie, my dog, had saved my life, his eyes were filled with tears (泪水) and he nodded. When the talk was over, I walked towards him. He excitedly shook my hand. “I had a dog like your Cookie. The dog saved my life.” “Oh what a good dog!” He nodded. “I lived in Greenwich Village and I had a dog that I raised and hunted with. When I took part in the Korean War (战争), I was hurt and lost the use of my legs. When I came back from the hospital, he was waiting. He spent the rest of his life by my side. I would be crazy without him. I could sit for hours and talk to him... ” His voice became lower, and his eyes were filled with tears again. “I still miss him very much.” I looked at him and then at the sky. My mind came back to the year of the Korean War. It was winter and the sunshine outside became warmer. I, a lonely 13-year-old child, was sitting next to a dog. The dog wore a card with a name—Ike around his neck. “Your dog,” I said. “Was he named Ike?” With eyes open wide, he nodded. “Why? Yes. But how...? Did you know him? ” That was why Cookie did not come back to me one day. He had another job, taking care of his sick owner. “Yes,” I said, turning to him. “Your dog saved my life. I met him when you were in the war. He was my best friend and I gave him a new name—Cookie.” 36. Why were the eyes of the old man filled with tears? A. It was cold outside and his legs hurt a lot. B. He really loved the story of the writer’s dog. C. He felt sad about what happened to the writer. D. The writer’s talk made him think of his dog Ike. 37. The old man felt ________ when he found that the writer knew his dog Ike. A. afraid B. unhappy C. surprised D. excellent 38. The dog did not come back to the writer because ________. A. he was lost in Greenwich Village B. he went back to wait for his sick owner C. he died in the Korean War when hunting outside D. he went to look after a lonely 13-year-old boy in the winter 39. What is the correct order of this story? ①I was giving a talk in public. ②I learnt that his dog Ike died. ③A man sitting in a chair was listening to me. ④I understood why my Cookie did not come back. ⑤The man talked about his dog with tears in his eyes. A. ③①②④⑤ B. ①③⑤②④ C. ③⑤②①④ D. ①⑤③④② 40. We can infer from the article that ________. A. the dog left the writer in the village B. the writer was the dog’s first owner C. Ike and Cookie were two similar dogs D. the two men talked about the same dog 第二节 (本题共5小题，；每小题1分，满分5分) Do you have true friends? Do you want to know better between you and your friends? There are three different kinds of friends: “pest friends”, “guest friends”, and “best friends”. The first kind of friends is simply an acquaintance (熟人). All you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friends at school, at work, or on the bus, but you don’t miss them when they’ re not around. ___41___ That is why they are called “pest friends”.

The last kind of friends, the “best friend”, is the one you know the deepest. ___43___ You have no problem staying at each other’s houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts. ___44___ Sometimes they may not be perfect, but at least they will always care about you, and never do anything on purpose (故意地) to hurt you. ___45___ We should value (重视) all friendships and remember, all best friends start out as just acquaintances. A. They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends. B. You have to keep secrets to yourself. C. They will help you with your life problems. D.

They are found in India, China, Russia and so on, but you might see some at the zoo. Tigers have stripes on their body. The stripes are usually yellow, orange and black. The stripes match the long grass in the jungle. This helps the tiger hide. When the other animals don’t see the tiger, it can get close and catch them. Tigers can run very fast. They can run about 60 km per hour. They hide their claws (爪子) when they run. However, they are not able to run for a long time. That’s why tigers have to get close to their prey (猎物). Tigers spend most time sleeping during the daytime. They sleep for sixteen to twenty hours every day. They usually look for food from sunset to dawn (黎明). Adult tigers usually live alone. However, a mother tiger stays with her babies and takes care of them. Baby tigers are called cubs. Tiger cubs cannot look for food. Their mother finds food for them. Their mother also teaches them how to look for food. When the tiger cubs are about two years old, they will leave their mother and live alone. Then they have to look for food by themselves. 64.
