She is one of the world’s greatest climbers and has climbed all the mountains over 8,000 meters in the world. It’s difficult to climb mountains in cold weather, but Gerlinde loves it. She started climbing the mountains near her home as a teenager. When she left school, she became a nurse but always went climbing in her free time. An Amazon adventurer Ed Stafford is the first person to walk along the Amazon River from the mountains of Peru to the mouth of the river in Brazil. His journey took two years and four months. There are many dangerous animals in the rainforest. But Ed was lucky and he was only bitten (咬) by small insects (昆虫). On his trip, Ed had to look for fruit or catch fish each morning.

This makes her get mature (成熟的) faster and act like a real grown-up. —Eason Rewards (奖励) are always helpful in developing good habits. It’s important to provide some rewards for kids doing chores. It could be money, something fun on the weekend or just words like “Nice work on the dishes!” —Miranda What’s going to be their motivation (动机) to keep the rooms clean when they move out to live alone? I’m not going to drive to their apartment once a week and give them $20 if they do well. They need to learn that the only real reward for doing chores is having a clean home. —Hanks Doing chores without getting paid teaches kids the true meaning of hard work.

Maybe you would say it is because the teacher’s class is boring. 51 This is something you should take seriously. 52 Sleep helps our body heal (修复), grow, and stay healthy. That’s why we can be active all day. Doctors and health scientists say: when you close your eyes and need to rest, sleep is just the very best! This is more than advice. Enough sleep is important to us. How much sleep do we need? New-born babies sleep most of the time. They can sleep 20-22 hours a day. Children need 10-12 hours of sleep a day. Teenagers need 8-10 hours while grown-ups usually need 6-8 hours of sleep to keep active. 53 That is why old people sleep less than young people. Almost everyone dreams while they sleep, but not all of them can tell their dreams clearly when they wake up. 54 More surprisingly, some may even get up in their dreams and walk around. This is called “sleepwalking”. 55 Some animals, such as bears, sleep all through winter. The swift (雨燕) is a very fast bird that can sleep while it flies! Cute koalas sleep around 18 hours a day. Giraffes don’t need much sleep at all. They usually sleep standing up. A. Why do we need sleep? B. Some people talk in their dreams. C. Animals never dream while they sleep. D. The older you get, the less sleep you will need. E. In fact, many animals also have unusual or surprising sleeping habits. F. However, the real reason is probably that we don’t have enough sleep. 51. __________ 52. __________ 53. __________ 54. __________ 55. __________ 非选择题 第三部分 写（共四节，满分50分） 第一节 单词填空（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 根据句意和首字母提示补全单词（每空一词）。 56.

That makes their teachers feel worried. Is your English handwriting beautiful? If not, here are what you can do to improve it. Use paper with lines Using paper with lines can keep you writing straight when you write English words or sentences. Those lines on the paper can help you to write words neither too big nor too small. Be sure to fill the lined space. And pay special attention to those capital letters (大写字母). Slow down If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. For some kids, going slow makes the handwriting clear (清楚的). If you write too fast, it’s hard for you to stop where you should, and even worse, you may make more mistakes. Hold (握) your pencil in a right way When you hold your pencil correctly, writing is much easier. Some kids press down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting not nice. Try to be relaxed and don’t hold the pencil so hard. Draw more pictures Drawing can make your handwriting better. You need to use the skills to control your pencil better when you are drawing pictures. Even though you can hardly draw at school, you can practice by yourself at home. Handwriting is very important.
