①Plants have roots, leaves, and flowers. They have seeds (种子), too. New plants grow from seeds. Some seeds fall on the ground. New plants grow next to the old plants. When plants grow this way, they are too crowded to get enough sunshine and water. So some of them die. But some plants spread their seeds even far from where they live. These seeds grow in new places. There are many ways of the seeds’ travel.
②The wind helps seeds to travel. Some plant seeds have little wings. When the wind blows, the seeds fly away. Soon they fall to the ground and new plants may grow there. Some plants dry up. The wind pulls them from the ground, but they are so big that they can’t fly. They roll along the ground, dropping off their seeds.
③Other plants grow near the water. Their seeds drop into the water and go away with it. They may travel many miles before they stop.
④Some seeds have special parts called “stickers”. The stickers help the seeds travel far. How? These seeds wait for an animal to walk by. Then they stick into its fur to get a free ride. Sometimes it’s a long trip. Birds carry some plant seeds to new places, too.

It was half past seven on Monday morning: time to get ready for school. Jay Stone rolled out of bed. He did a couple of quick wake-up exercises and then he went over to his mirror (镜子) and looked at himself.
“Not bad, Stone, not bad,” he said to himself and smiled. Maybe he wasn’t ready for Hollywood, but with his dark brown eyes and his thick brown hair, he had the looks that turned girls’ heads. He moved closer to the mirror and smiled, checking his teeth.
“Perfect,” he thought. “Good enough for a toothpaste ad.”
As his eyes moved down to his strong arms, he smiled again. The hours he spent in the gym and doing sit-ups have paid off.
But suddenly, the smile froze. His eyes moved from the upper part of his body down to his legs. His legs were short. Not just short, but far too short for his body. He had the upper body of a six-footer, but because of his legs he was much less than six feet! Six inches less! Sitting, he was as tall as almost anyone. Standing, he had to look up at most of the boys and even many of the girls.
Why didn’t his legs grow with the rest of his body? He was one of the shortest boys in his class. He was the shortest in his own family, he was even shorter than his “little” sister—by three inches! Where did his legs come from?
He certainly didn’t get them from his parents. They were both quite tall. Looking through old family photos, he found the answer. It was his grandfather on his mother’s side. His short legs were a gift from Grandpa Tuttle.
Thanks a lot, Grandpa!
Of course, the kids at school all noticed Jay’s short legs and they had a nickname (外号) for him: Stubs! Almost no one called him by his real name; they all called him Stubs. Stubs Stone, Jay didn’t like his nickname, but he had to accept it. He had no choice.
But Jay couldn’t see in the mirror what his legs could do. They were quick and strong. He was the youngest player on the Brewer High football team. He could run faster than anyone else in the team and, like a rabbit, he kept going and going. Even at basketball, where the other players were much taller than him, they were still afraid of him because of his speed.
Jay shook his head. “Stubs, Stubs Stone, the kid with stubby legs. Yeah, that’s me,” he said to himself with a little smile. Suddenly, he heard his mother’s voice.
“Jay! It’s breakfast time!”
41. What did Jay do after he got up on the Monday morning?
A. He did some housework. B. He took some family photos.
C. He watched TV for some time. D. He did some wake-up exercises.
42. What can we learn about Jay in paragraphs 2—4?
A. He was satisfied with his looks. B. He wanted to be a film actor.
C. He once played a role in an ad. D. He found it useless to do sit-ups.
43. What does the underlined word “froze” probably mean in paragraph 5?
A. Spread. B. Stopped. C. Continued. D. Returned.
44. Which of the following best describes Jay?

47. groups 48. twenty to thirty##20—30
49. like 50. friendship
【解析】
【原文】Dolphins are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this way they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. The brains are nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time—at least twenty to thirty years.
Like some animals, dolphins use sounds to help themselves find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help themselves find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth.
Strangely, dolphins seemed to like people, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand in the nineteenth century sailors learn to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack would greet every boat in the area and show it the way.

Then the son walked to the riverside and he ____53____ (see) some women washing clothes there. Right at that moment, a bullock cart (牛车) started crossing the river. As a result, the water became very dirty. “I mustn’t take the dirty water to my father,” he thought. So he came back and said. “Look, Father. A bullock cart ____54____ (cross) the river now, so the water is dirty and it can’t be drunk.” Father said nothing.
After a while, the son ____55____ (ask) to get some water again by his father. The water was still dirty, but he didn’t go back. He thought, “My father is so thirsty. I ____56____ (take) back clean water this time, even though it will take me a long time.” Then he sat there, waiting until the water was clean. He collected some in a bowl and took it back.
“Oh, you are back at last. I ____57____ (wait) for you for almost half an hour,” Father said. After ____58____ (drink) the water, he looked up at his son and said, “Now, ____59____ (think) about what made the water clean. You let it be and the water became clean on its own. It is also the same with your mind. When it is disturbed (打扰), just let it be, and it will calm down on its own.”
The son thought for a while and said, “Thank you, Father. I ____60____ (remember) this forever.”

【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述父亲和儿子在旅途休息时取水的故事告诉我们,当我们保持冷静时,我们可以做出最好的决定。
【51题详解】
句意:当他们旅行时,他们碰巧经过一条河。句子是while引导的时间状语从句,从句常用进行时,结合“happened”可知,此处时态用过去进行时was/were doing,主语是复数,be用were。故填were travel(l)ing。
52题详解】
句意:他们累了,停下来休息。根据“They were tired”可知,是指他们停下来休息,stop to do sth“停下来做某事”。故填to rest。
【53题详解】
句意:然后,儿子走到河边,看到一些女人正在那里洗衣服。根据“Then the son walked to the riverside”可知,是指走到河边时,看见一些女人正在洗衣服,时态用一般过去时。故填saw。
【54题详解】
句意:现在有一辆牛车正在过河,所以河水很脏,不能喝。根据“A bullock cart ... the river now”可知,now表示现在正在进行的动词,时态用现在进行时,主语是单数第三人称,be动词用is,cross的现在分词是crossing。故填is crossing。
【55题详解】
句意:过了一会儿,儿子又被父亲叫去取些水。根据“... by his father”可知,主语与ask是动宾关系,结合“The water was still dirty,”可知,时态是一般过去时,因此空处用一般过去时的被动语态was/were done,主语是单数,be用was。故填was asked。
【56题详解】
句意:这次我必须取回干净的水,即使这将花费我很长时间。根据“even though it will take me a long time.”可知,是指必须取回干净的水,用must表示“必须”,后跟动词原形。故填must take。
【57题详解】
句意:我已经等了你将近半个小时。根据“for almost half an hour”可知,句子时态用现在完成时have/has done,主语是I,助动词用have。故填have waited。
【58题详解】
句意:喝完水后,他抬头看着儿子说:“现在,想想是什么让水变得干净。”after是介词,空处填动名词drinking。故填drinking。
【59题详解】
句意:现在,想想是什么让水变干净了。本句是祈使句,动词用原形。故填think。
【60题详解】
句意:我将永远记住这一点。分析语境可知,此处指将永远记住父亲说的哲理,用一般将来时will do。故填will remember。

【61题详解】
句意:我来问一下我能不能帮忙画读书日的海报。根据“ask ... I could help paint the posters for the Reading Day”可知,空处缺少宾语从句的引导词,此处指“是否”可以帮忙,if“是否”。故填(i)f。

句意:当我的同学们和老人们聊天时,我真的感到紧张,不敢加入他们。根据“My class is going”和“ I really felt nervous to join any of them”及首字母可知,作者班去了养老院,所以和老人聊天的应是他的同学们,classmate表示“同学们”,此处用名词复数。故填(c)lassmates。
【64题详解】
句意:我独自坐在那里,手里拿着我前一天晚上做的卡片。根据“holding the card that I ...the night before”可知,是指制作的卡片,make“制作”,结合“the night before”可知,动作发生在过去,需要使用一般过去时。故填(m)ade。
【65题详解】
句意:她也是独自一人。根据“I sat there on my own”及“Across the room there was an old lady in a wheelchair. She was..., too. ”可知,应是说老人也是独自一人,alone表示“独自的”,形容词作表语。故填(a)lone。
【66题详解】

【67题详解】
句意:很快,就到了回去的时间了。根据“it was ... to return. But I didn’t want to leave.”可知,此处指“是时候回去了”,it was time to do sth“是时候做某事了”。故填(t)ime。

【69题详解】
句意:我真希望我给你带来了一份更好的礼物。根据“wished I had brought you a ...gift”和“The best gift was your visit, Janet”及首字母可知,是希望带来更好的礼物,句子中的“a”后面需要一个形容词比较级,better表示“更好的”。故填(b)etter。
【70题详解】
句意:我迫不及待地想再来看我的新朋友。根据“couldn’t wait to come back to see my new friend...”及首字母可知,此处指期待再次来看这个新朋友,again表示“再次”,符合语境。故填(a)gain。

A happy life also means doing. Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today. 4. If you have a plan, carry it out straight away! A sense of pride and happiness will make you happy.

I Want to Say Thanks to my teacher
As my junior high school life is coming to an end, I want to express my thanks to my English teacher, Miss Li. She is very kind, but she is strict with her students.
When I first entered junior high school, English was my worst subject, and I even wanted to give it up. But I met my English teacher. She found that my English was poor, so she helped me in class and after class. For example, during the lunch break, she gave up her rest time to teach me some knowledge. Through her efforts, my English has been greatly improved, and now my English has become much better. I thank her for her efforts in the past four years.
I hope her work goes well in the coming days. And I will work harder to become better. I think that’s the best gift for my dear teacher.

①Plants have roots, leaves, and flowers. They have seeds (种子), too. New plants grow from seeds. Some seeds fall on the ground. New plants grow next to the old plants. When plants grow this way, they are too crowded to get enough sunshine and water. So some of them die. But some plants spread their seeds even far from where they live. These seeds grow in new places. There are many ways of the seeds’ travel.
②The wind helps seeds to travel. Some plant seeds have little wings. When the wind blows the seeds fly away. Soon they fall to the ground and new plants may grow there. Some plants dry up. The wind pulls them from the ground, but they are so big that they can’t fly. They roll along the ground, dropping off their seeds.
③Other plants grow near the water. Their seeds drop into the water and go away with it. They may travel many miles before they stop.
④Some seeds have special parts called “stickers”. The stickers help the seeds travel far. How? These seeds wait for an animal to walk by. Then they stick into its fur to get a free ride. Sometimes it’s a long trip. Birds carry some plant seeds to new places, too.
⑤Seeds can’t walk. They can’t run. But they can travel with the help of wind, water and animals.

The Smiths woke up earlier than usual. There was something about hiking (远足) that made them feel wide awake and excited to start the day as their eyes were open.
The family had a simple breakfast. They discussed the plan for the day at table. “Dad and I looked at a map last night,” said Mrs. Smith. “We found a nearby trail (小径). There are many interesting things along the way, and best of all, there will be a surprise at the end of the trail.”
“What kind of surprise?” asked Jenny.
“It won’t be a surprise if we tell you,” laughed her mom. “The sooner you get ready to go, the sooner you’ll find out.”
They set out for hiking soon. It was a good day for seeing wildlife. Along the trail, the trees were filled with kinds of birds flying around. Hearing a noise in the grass, they stopped and saw two rabbits crossing the trail. After a while, Mike noticed several monkeys in the trees and Mr. Smith took photos before they ran away.

It was half past seven on Monday morning: time to get ready for school. Jay Stone rolled out of bed. He did a couple of quick wake-up exercises and then he went over to his mirror (镜子) and looked at himself.
“Not bad, Stone, not bad,” he said to himself and smiled. Maybe he wasn’t ready for Hollywood, but with his dark brown eyes and his thick brown hair, he had the looks that turned girls’ heads. He moved closer to the mirror and smiled, checking his teeth.
“Perfect,” he thought. “Good enough for a toothpaste ad.”
As his eyes moved down to his strong arms, he smiled again. The hours he spent in the gym and doing sit-ups have paid off.
But suddenly, the smile froze. His eyes moved from the upper part of his body down to his legs. His legs were short. Not just short, but far too short for his body. He had the upper body of a six-footer, but because of his legs he was much less than six feet! Six inches less! Sitting, he was as tall as almost anyone. Standing, he had to look up at most of the boys and even many of the girls.
Why didn’t his legs grow with the rest of his body? He was one of the shortest boys in his class. He was the shortest in his own family, he was even shorter than his “little” sister—by three inches! Where did his legs come from?
He certainly didn’t get them from his parents. They were both quite tall. Looking through old family photos, he found the answer. It was his grandfather on his mother’s side. His short legs were a gift from Grandpa Tuttle.
Thanks a lot, Grandpa!
Of course, the kids at school all noticed Jay’s short legs and they had a nickname (外号) for him: Stubs! Almost no one called him by his real name; they all called him Stubs. Stubs Stone, Jay didn’t like his nickname, but he had to accept it. He had no choice.
But Jay couldn’t see in the mirror what his legs could do. They were quick and strong. He was the youngest player on the Brewer High football team. He could run faster than anyone else in the team and, like a rabbit, he kept going and going. Even at basketball, where the other players were much taller than him, they were still afraid of him because of his speed.
Jay shook his head. “Stubs, Stubs Stone, the kid with stubby legs. Yeah, that’s me,” he said to himself with a little smile. Suddenly, he heard his mother’s voice.
“Jay! It’s breakfast time!”
41 What did Jay do after he got up on the Monday morning?
A. He did some housework. B. He took some family photos.

C. He once played a role in an ad. D. He found it useless to do sit-ups.
43. What does the underlined word “froze” probably mean in paragraph 5?
A. Spread. B. Stopped. C. Continued. D. Returned.
44. Which of the following best describes Jay?
A. Strict and serious. B. Clever and helpful.

七、阅读表达(共5小题,计10分)
We all just have one life. What makes you happy? Is it something as simple as getting a new toy or doing well on an exam? Or is it something more meaningful than that?
A happy life means forgetting. 3. There are quite a few unhappy things that happen to us. They make us upset, worried, jealous(嫉妒的) and angry. Sometimes they trouble us a lot. What should we do? Just forget them! Throw the terrible things away and leave the happy ones in your heart.
A happy life means giving. Give up a seat to an old person on a crowded bus. It’s difficult to give up something of your own, but if you share things with those in need, you can feel happier. So, just learn to give. Give a hand to someone in trouble. Giving will bring happiness and pleasure.
A happy life also means doing. Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today. 4. If you have a plan, carry it out straight away! A sense of pride and happiness will make you happy.
A happy life isn’t just about playing. We all know that, “All work and no play makes Jack a silly boy”. But if we spend too much time playing then we become “dull(迟钝的) boys”, too.
These are just the seeds(种子) of happiness. You must water and care for them continually until they flower. Then your life will be happy.
Is your life happy? If it is not, you should take actions and make your life happy.
