The streets of Dalian, Liaoning were covered by snow week before Spring Festival. However, instead of staying at home, Li Chun yuan, a Junior 1 student at No. 42 Middle School, went out with her classmates. They made posters by t____40____ and called on people not to set off fireworks.

D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容,回答下列问题) (7分)
PISA is not the same as pizza, although both words are pronounced the same by Chinese. Pizza, of course, is the tasty Italian dish of crispy bread topped with many wonderful flavors. PISA, on the other hand, is just a test, a reflection of the knowledge you learn in school. And how could that possibly be as flavorful as pizza?!
PISA stands for Programme for International Student Assessment. It’s a test taken every three years by fifteen-year-olds worldwide. It tests students’ ability in math, reading and science. Last year’s results were just released and they show that Shanghai students are ranked number one in the world. Yes, that’s right! Shanghai students are the best in the world!
Shanghai students are the best because they are also the hardest working. No other students in the world put in as many hours of study, homework and test taking as Shanghai students. And few others feel the stress of schoolwork like Shanghai students.
That’s why the Shanghai education authority is encouraging students to step away from their books from time to time and take up hobbies or join clubs. Schools are setting aside time and providing facilities so that students can follow some personal interests such as photography, art, singing and dancing. They want students to have a little more flavor in their lives.
Doing well on the tests like PISA is important, but developing yourself as a whole person is also important. There is no end to the flavor you can add to pizza, and there should be no limit to the amount of flavors you can add to your own life.
46. Is PISA pronounced that same as pizza by Chinese?
__________________________________________________________
47. What does PISA stand for?
__________________________________________________________
48. How often is PISA taken?
__________________________________________________________
49. What did the last year’s results show?
__________________________________________________________
50. Why is the Shanghai education authority encouraging students to step away from their books?
__________________________________________________________
51. Is it a good idea that schools are setting aside time and providing facilities for the students? Why or why not?
__________________________________________________________
VII. Writing (12分)
52. Situation: Nowadays many students go to school by bike, by car, by underground… How do you go to school? What do you think of it? (眼下不少学生骑自行车、乘私家车、乘地铁上学。你是怎么去学校的?你觉得你的方式如何?并简述理由。)
(注意:正文不少于60个词,标点符号不占格。短文中不得出现任何真实人名、校名及其它相关信息,否则不予评分。)

A. not polluting B. not pollute C. not to pollute D. to not pollute
【答案】A
【解析】

A. hardly; hard B. hard; hardly C. harder; hard D. hardly; harder
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:玛丽在工作日努力工作,但为了放松自己,她在周末几乎不工作。

8. ________ the morning of 20 Septemer, we went to see a film.
A. On B. In C. At D. From
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:在9月20日的早上,我们去看了一场电影。
考查介词辨析。On后跟具体到天的上午、下物或晚上;In 后跟年、月、季节等;At 后跟具体的钟点时刻;From 从。空后“the morning of 20 Septemer”表示具体某一天的上午、下午或晚上时,所以空处用介词“on”,故选A。

A. will see; will come B. sees; comes C. sees; will come D. will see; comes
【答案】D
【解析】

【详解】句意:——你需要多少牛奶?——只要一点。
考查代词辨析。a few有一些,修饰可数名词;much很多,修饰不可数名词;a little有一些,修饰不可数名词;few几乎没有,修饰可数名词。根据“How much milk do you need?”可知milk是不可数名词,故排除A、D;又由“just”可知只需要一点,故选C。
11. —Can you guess ________ the computer in that new shopping mall?
—Sorry, I have no idea.
A. how much did he pay B. how did he buy C. how much he paid for D. how did he sell

A. stop talking B. to stop talking C. stops talking D. stopped to talk
【答案】A
【解析】
【分析】

【答案】impatience
【解析】

20. This hotel is famous for its good ________. (serve)
【答案】service
【解析】
【详解】句意:这家旅馆以其良好的服务而闻名。根据“its good”可知,此空应填名词,serve对应的名词是service“服务”,在这里是不可数名词,故填service。

【答案】explanation
【解析】
【详解】句意:老师对这个女孩说:“这不是一个糟糕的解释。”根据“a bad...”可知,此处需要一个名词,因为不定冠词“a”后接可数名词单数。所给单词“explain”是动词,意为“解释”,其名词形式是“explanation”,故填explanation。

The girl tried to ________ the little bird ________being hurt.

24. He hardly enjoyed himself at the party last night. (反意疑问句)
He hardly enjoyed himself at the party last night, ________ ________?
【答案】 ①. did ②. he
【解析】
【详解】句意:他昨晚在聚会上玩得很不开心。hardly表示否定,因此前半句是否定句。反意疑问句前半句含有否定词时,后半句需用肯定形式提问。前半句的谓语动词是enjoyed,后半句用助动词 did。前半句主语是He,后半句主语保持一致用he。故填did;he。
25. You must remember! Don’t waste or pollute water. (保持原句意思不变)
You must remember ________ ________ waste or pollute water.
【答案】 ①. not ②. to
【解析】
【详解】句意:你必须要记住!不要浪费或污染水。原句可合并为“你必须记得不要浪费或污染水”,remember not to do sth.表示“记得不要做某事”,强调动作还未做。故填not;to。
26. The young hunter made a fire to drive away the wolf. (对划线部分提问)
________ ________ the young hunter make a fire?
【答案】 ①. Why ②. did
【解析】
【详解】句意:这个年轻的猎人生火是为了赶走狼。根据“The young hunter made a fire to drive away the wolf.”可知,to drive away the wolf表示猎人生火的目的,所以要用疑问词Why来提问。 原句是一般过去时,谓语动词made是实义动词,变疑问句时要借助助动词did,且助动词did后的动词要还原为原形make。故填Why;did。
27. hope, will, he, that, I, come, back, soon (连词成句)
___________________________
【答案】I hope that he will come back soon
【解析】
【详解】由所给的标点可知,此题是由that引导的宾语从句,分析所给的单词,I作主句的主语,hope作谓语;that引导宾语从句;he从句的主语;will come back作谓语;soon时间状语。故填I hope that he will come back soon“我希望他能很快回来”。

D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容,回答下列问题) (7分)
PISA is not the same as pizza, although both words are pronounced the same by Chinese. Pizza, of course, is the tasty Italian dish of crispy bread topped with many wonderful flavors. PISA, on the other hand, is just a test, a reflection of the knowledge you learn in school. And how could that possibly be as flavorful as pizza?!
PISA stands for Programme for International Student Assessment. It’s a test taken every three years by fifteen-year-olds worldwide. It tests students’ ability in math, reading and science. Last year’s results were just released and they show that Shanghai students are ranked number one in the world. Yes, that’s right! Shanghai students are the best in the world!
Shanghai students are the best because they are also the hardest working. No other students in the world put in as many hours of study, homework and test taking as Shanghai students. And few others feel the stress of schoolwork like Shanghai students.
That’s why the Shanghai education authority is encouraging students to step away from their books from time to time and take up hobbies or join clubs. Schools are setting aside time and providing facilities so that students can follow some personal interests such as photography, art, singing and dancing. They want students to have a little more flavor in their lives.
Doing well on the tests like PISA is important, but developing yourself as a whole person is also important. There is no end to the flavor you can add to pizza, and there should be no limit to the amount of flavors you can add to your own life.
46. Is PISA pronounced that same as pizza by Chinese?
__________________________________________________________
47. What does PISA stand for?
__________________________________________________________
48. How often is PISA taken?

50. Why is the Shanghai education authority encouraging students to step away from their books?
__________________________________________________________
51. Is it a good idea that schools are setting aside time and providing facilities for the students? Why or why not?
__________________________________________________________
【答案】46. Yes, it is.
47. (It stands for) Programme for International Student Assessment.
48. (It is taken) every three years.
49. (It showed that) Shanghai students ranked number one in the world. / Shanghai students are the best.
50. Because no other students in the world put in as many hours of study, homework and test taking as Shanghai students. / Because Shanghai students have the highest pressure in the world. / Because Shanghai students are the most stressed.
51. Yes, it is. Because it is important to do well on the test and develop yourself as a whole person. / Yes, it is. Because all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
