Then I saw them rowing back to our ship with a giant (巨人) following them in the sea! They were very afraid. I ran as fast as I could. I then climbed up a big hill and when I looked around, I saw fields. Then I saw other giants working in the fields. “On my last trip, I was a giant on an island of tiny (小的) people and now I am a tiny person on an island of giants!” It was not a nice feeling.

Stonehenge (巨石阵), a rock circle, is not only one of Britain’s most famous historical places but also one of its greatest mysteries (神秘). Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors. People like to go to this place especially in June as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year. For many years, historians believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. “The leaders arrived in England much later,” he points out. Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar. The large stones were put together in a certain way. On midsummer’s morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think the stones can prevent illness and keep people healthy. “As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up your body,” said one visitor. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special purpose. Some think it might be a burial place or a place to honor ancestors. Others think it was built to celebrate a victory over an enemy. Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big and heavy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn’t. “We don’t really know who built Stonehenge,” says Paul Stoker. “And perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hard-working—and great planners!” 36. Why is June popular at Stonehenge? ________________________ 37. Why does Paul Stoker disagree that Stonehenge was a temple? ________________________ 38. What possible uses of Stonehenge are mentioned in Paragraph 3? ________________________ 39. Please translate the underlined sentence into Chinese. ________________________ 40. Fill in the blanks according to the last paragraph. （每空一词） We don’t know ________ built Stonehenge and ________ it was built. 【答案】36. Because they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year. 37. Because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago and the leaders arrived in England much later. 38. A kind of calendar, having a medical purpose, a burial place or a place to honor ancestors, a place to celebrate a victory over an enemy. 39. 当你在那里行走时，你能感觉到能量从你的脚向上传遍你的身体。 40. ①. who ②. how 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了英国巨石阵的神秘之处、用途猜测及建造谜团。 36题详解】 根据“People like to go to this place especially in June as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.”可知，在六月巨石阵很受欢迎是因为人们想在一年中白昼最长的那天观看日出。故填Because they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year. 【37题详解】 根据“However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. ‘The leaders arrived in England much later,’ he points out.”可知，Paul Stoker不同意巨石阵是寺庙的说法，因为巨石阵建造时间远早于首领抵达英格兰的时间。故填Because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago and the leaders arrived in England much later. 【38题详解】 根据“Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar.... Others think it was built to celebrate a victory over an enemy.”可知，第三段提到的巨石阵的可能用途包括：日历、医疗目的、埋葬地、纪念祖先、庆祝胜利。故填A kind of calendar, having a medical purpose, a burial place or a place to honor ancestors, a place to celebrate a victory over an enemy. 【39题详解】 As you walk there是“当你走到那里时”；you can feel the energy是“你能感觉到能量”；from your feet move up your body是“从你的脚向上传遍你的身体”。故填：当你走到那里时，你能感觉到能量从你的脚部向上传遍身体。 【40题详解】 根据“We don’t really know who built Stonehenge,”可知，不知道是谁建造的Stonehenge，以及如何建造的Stonehenge。故空一填“who”，空二填“how”。故填①who ；②how。 四、语言综合运用（5分） From Shy Girl to Pop Star For this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and then for the whole school. Now she’s not shy anymore and loves singing in front of crowds. I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the time. “I didn’t use to be popular in school, but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go.” However, too much attention can also be a bad thing. “I always have to worry about how I appear to others, and I have to be very careful about what I say or do. And I don’t have much private time anymore. Hanging out with friends is almost impossible for me now because there are always guards around me.” What does Candy have to say to all those young people who want to become famous? “Well,” she begins slowly, “you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine how difficult the road to success is. Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on. You really require a lot of talent and hard work to succeed. Only a very small number of people make it to the top.” 41. What is the interview in this month’s Young World magazine mainly about? _______________________________________________ 42. And what can we learn from Candy?（每个问题答案不超过 20 个单词） _______________________________________________ 【答案】41. It’s mainly about Asian pop star Candy Wang’s growth and life. 42.

Stonehenge (巨石阵), a rock circle, is not only one of Britain’s most famous historical places but also one of its greatest mysteries (神秘). Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors. People like to go to this place especially in June as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year. For many years, historians believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. “The leaders arrived in England much later,” he points out. Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar. The large stones were put together in a certain way. On midsummer’s morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think the stones can prevent illness and keep people healthy. “As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up your body,” said one visitor. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special purpose. Some think it might be a burial place or a place to honor ancestors. Others think it was built to celebrate a victory over an enemy. Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big and heavy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn’t. “We don’t really know who built Stonehenge,” says Paul Stoker. “And perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hard-working—and great planners!” 36. Why is June popular at Stonehenge? ________________________ 37. Why does Paul Stoker disagree that Stonehenge was a temple? ________________________ 38. What possible uses of Stonehenge are mentioned in Paragraph 3? ________________________ 39. Please translate the underlined sentence into Chinese. ________________________ 40. Fill in the blanks according to the last paragraph. （每空一词） We don’t know ________ built Stonehenge and ________ it was built. 四、语言综合运用（5分） From Shy Girl to Pop Star For this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and then for the whole school. Now she’s not shy anymore and loves singing in front of crowds. I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the time. “I didn’t use to be popular in school, but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go.” However, too much attention can also be a bad thing. “I always have to worry about how I appear to others, and I have to be very careful about what I say or do. And I don’t have much private time anymore. Hanging out with friends is almost impossible for me now because there are always guards around me.” What does Candy have to say to all those young people who want to become famous? “Well,” she begins slowly, “you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine how difficult the road to success is. Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on. You really require a lot of talent and hard work to succeed. Only a very small number of people make it to the top.” 41. What is the interview in this month’s Young World magazine mainly about? _______________________________________________ 42. And what can we learn from Candy?（每个问题答案不超过 20 个单词） _______________________________________________ 五、写作（满分15分） 43. 假设你是李华，请阅读以下邮件并回复， 词数80左右。 To Li Hua@mail.com Subject Your hobbies Dear Li Hua, How is everything?
