Have a look at our exciting activities and decide what kind of trips you would like. Activities A. Sun and Sea Description Our hotel is next to the sea. During the summer vacation, you can enjoy beautiful sea views（风景）and play with clean sand. You can also swim in the sea. It is really cool! Activities B.

A. sea views B. stars C. animals D. places of interest ( )38. From the passage, we can know that ______. A. the hotel of Sun and Sea is in the forest B. you can go hiking in the forest C. you can only enjoy the stars in the city D. you can't learn about Chinese history and culture B The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health. There are plenty of “energy drinks” on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great! But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine（咖啡因）in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much. Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited（限制）its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them. ( ) 39. Many people like drinking energy drinks because of the following EXCEPT that ______. A. they have beautiful colors and cool names B. they have lots of caffeine C. they can keep them awake and better at sports D. they are said to be helpful to health ( ) 40.

A. advertisements are important in getting people to buy energy drinks B. energy drinks are helpful to teenagers' study C. sports players need to drink a lot of energy drinks D. energy drinks are especially aimed at teenagers C The summer vacation is coming. Many students plan to have a good trip during it. Here are some tips for you to make your trip more enjoyable. Plan your trip early Before you start your trip, make a plan. Think about where to go, what to see and how to get there. Make a list of the places you want to visit. Then you can have enough time to get everything ready. Travel light Don't take too many things with you. A heavy bag may make your trip less enjoyable. Choose the clothes that are easy to wear and wash. If you plan to do a lot of walking, choose comfortable shoes. Read about the places you want to visit Before you leave, find some information about the place you want to visit, such as its geography, history and people. You can understand that place better by reading. Learn about the local customs（习俗） If you go to another country, learn about its local customs. For example, in Thailand, people don't touch the head of a child. It's not polite. So when you are there, follow the local customs. Be careful with your things Don't forget to take care of your things during the trip. Keep your money and other things in a safe place. ( )43. The passage mainly tells us ______. A. how to plan a trip B. how to travel light C. how to make your trip more enjoyable D. how to learn about the local customs ( )44. According to the passage, we should NOT ______ during the trip. A. make a plan early B. take too many things with us C. read about the places we want to visit D. learn about the local customs ( )45. Which of the following is NOT true? A. We should make a plan before we start our trip. B. We should choose comfortable shoes if we plan to do a lot of walking. C. We can understand the place better by reading some information about it. D. In Thailand, people often touch the head of a child. D The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70% of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% — the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we can not even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers（冰川）. Even worse, some of it has been polluted. However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water, which is constantly being replaced by rainfall, is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly—almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid（避免）a serious worldwide water shortage later on. A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry. In addition to stopping wasting our precious water, one useful step we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Today, in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system（下水道系统）. From there it returns to the sea or runs into underground storage tanks. But it is possible to pipe used water to a purifying（净化）plant. There it can be filtered（过滤）and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as if it were fresh from a spring. But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we'd have to do to make use of the vast reserves（贮备）of sea water in the world is to remove the salt. If we take these steps we'll be in no danger of drying up. ( ) 46. The world is thirsty for water because ______. A. man hasn't got enough food to eat B. we haven't got enough fresh water C. only 70% of the earth's surface is water D. more water is sent into sewer systems ( ) 47. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refers to ______. A. sea water B. fresh water C. rainfall D. icebergs and glaciers ( ) 48. To avoid the worldwide water shortage, we should NOT . A. make full use of the sea water B. develop ways of reusing water C. stop wasting water D. use only once and then send out water into a sewer system ( )49. The best title for the passage should be “”. A. The Importance of Sea Water B. The World's Water Problem C. The Amount of Fresh Water D. How to Make Use of Fresh Water E In 1963, a one-year-old dolphin named Elvar was placed in an isolation（隔离）tank. Scientists wanted to see what would happen to the dolphin without social contact（接触）. Elvar was used to living with other dolphins. But now he was alone in a dark tank. He had no one to play with. He had no one to “talk” to. Dolphins use sounds to communicate with each other. Elvar could not make these sounds in the isolation tank. After a few weeks, Elvar started to act strangely. He swam in circles. He hit his head against the sides of the tank. He made strange sounds. He stopped eating. The scientists became worried. They did not want Elvar to die. So they put another dolphin, Tuffy, into the tank with Elvar. Tuffy was a young dolphin. He was full of energy. When he was put into the tank with Elvar, he started to swim around the tank. He made happy sounds. He tried to get Elvar to play with him. At first, Elvar did not respond（回应）to Tuffy. He was still sad and lonely. But after a few days, Elvar started to respond to Tuffy. He started to swim with Tuffy. He started to make sounds again. He started to eat again. The scientists were happy to see Elvar getting better. They learned an important lesson from this experiment. They learned that dolphins need social contact. They need to communicate with each other. They need to play and have fun. ( )50. Why was Elvar placed in an isolation tank? A. Because scientists wanted to see if he could live alone. B. Because scientists wanted to see what would happen to him without social contact. C. Because scientists wanted to see if he could make sounds in the dark. D. Because scientists wanted to train him to swim in circles. ( )51. What happened to Elvar after a few weeks in the isolation tank? A. He became more active and happy. B. He started to communicate with other dolphins. C. He acted strangely and stopped eating. D. He learned to make new sounds. ( )52. What can we learn from the experiment? A. Dolphins can live happily without social contact. B. Social contact is important for dolphins. C. Isolation can make dolphins stronger. D. Young dolphins are not good at communicating. F 篇 Many people like to keep pets. Dogs and cats are the most popular ones. But some people prefer unusual pets, such as snakes, parrots or even pigs. Keeping pets can bring people joy, but it also requires responsibility. First, pets need proper food and water. Different pets have different dietary needs. For example, dogs need meat and vegetables, while cats mainly eat fish or special cat food. It's important to feed them regularly and not give them food that's bad for their health. Second, pets need a clean living environment. Cleaning their cages or beds regularly can prevent diseases. Taking dogs for walks every day is also necessary for their health. Third, pets need love and attention. Playing with them and spending time together can make them feel happy and safe. If they get sick, taking them to the vet in time is part of being a responsible pet owner. Finally, it's important to follow local rules about keeping pets. Some places have restrictions on the number or types of pets allowed. Also, making sure pets don't disturb neighbors is necessary. 53.What are the most popular pets according to the passage? （不超过 5 个词）______________________________ 54,。What should people do to prevent pets from getting diseases? （不超过 10 个词）__________________________ 55.What is necessary if pets get sick? （不超过 10 个词）______________________________ 五、单词拼写（共 5 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 5 分） 根据首字母及汉语提示，完成下列单词的拼写，使句意明确，语言通顺。 56.My grandparents often go to the park to do morning e________（锻炼）. 57.The little girl is afraid of the d________（黑暗）, so she always sleeps with the light on. 58.We should try our best to p________（保护）the environment around us. 59.My favorite subject is g________（地理）because I like learning about different places. 60.The teacher asked us to write a r________（报告）about our summer vacation. 六、书面表达（满分 20 分） 最近，你的英国笔友 Peter 来信说他不适应新班级的学习生活，感到很孤独。请你以张明的身份给他写一封邮件，提出一些建议。 要求： （1）词数 100 左右，开头结尾已给出，不计入总词数； （2）可适当增加细节，使行文连贯； （3）文中不得出现真实姓名、学校等信息。 参考词汇：adapt to（适应）、join（加入）、communicate（交流） Dear Peter, I'm sorry to hear that you're having a hard time adapting to your new class and feeling lonely.
