He is more interested in team sports and would like to make friends as well. My brother and I often fight with each other over small things. One day our father said to us, “Tomorrow we will take part in the Ray Home Sports Day. Both of you must go with me. Perhaps you can learn something from those children.” My brother laughed, “Dad, Ray is a home for physically disabled children. What can we learn from them?” “You will see, ” our father said. Our father works as a volunteer at Ray. The children there have problems with their hands, speech, walking or hearing. Every day, he spends hours helping them to move or exercise their legs or arms. The following day, he took us to Ray Home. When we got there, we found a nice place to sit down. Finally, the sports began. There was a 50-meter race to see who could run fastest. All the runners were physically disabled. As the race started, all the children moved as fast as they could. Just then, one of the girls fell over and hurt her leg. She began to cry at the top of her voice. All the children stopped to help the poor girl. Then they all held hands and finished the race together. My brother and I were surprised to see this: the children weren’t interested in winning the race—they were more interested in helping each other to finish the race. 24. The father wanted the writer and his brother to ________ at Ray Home. A. work as volunteers B. help the disabled children C. take part in the sports competition D. learn something from the children 25 Why did all the children stop in the 50-meter race? A. A little girl raised her voice. B. They stopped to laugh at the girl. C. A little girl got hurt and needed help. D. They wanted to finish the race together. 26. According to the passage, we can know ________. A. the children at Ray weren’t able to run fast B. the writer will keep fighting with his brother after the race C. the father is smart enough to teach his children a good lesson D. the writer’s brother wanted to be the winner in the 50-meter race Do Encyclopedias Know Everything? Long before Wikipedia (维基百科) or Encyclopedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), there was Pliny the Elder. He was a first-century Roman researcher. His assistants read to him while he ate dinner and while he bathed. Pliny took notes. He even thought walking is a waste of time. His assistants carried him around Rome in a chair while he read. All of this was done in preparation for his Historia Naturalis (《博物志》). The book came out in A. D. 77. It is the oldest surviving (现存的) encyclopedia on Earth. There are 2,500 chapters. They cover everything from mice to Mars. “No Roman writer has completed such a project,” Pliny proudly declared. Unluckily, two years after having published (出版) the encyclopedia, he died in a natural disaster. Accidents can hardly be avoided. However, they can be recorded (记录). Editors (编辑), like Pliny, organize the knowledge of our world. Like a valuable gift, the books are passed down through the ages. They begin their lives as a tool and end them as a historical record. Therefore, in my opinion, an encyclopedia is not just a record of what its editors know, it’s also a record of what they don’t know. Pliny was wrong when he said there were seven planets including the Sun and the Moon. He was wrong, too, when he said Africans were black from being burnt by the sun. After all, Historia Naturalis is a book edited by a Roman thousands of years ago. It recorded all of the things he truly knew at the time. Similarly, I believe both Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica have some inaccurate (不准确的) information. Even the biggest encyclopedias only show what their editors know. “The task of editing an encyclopedia can never be completed,” said Roger Lewinter, an American researcher. Encyclopedias can’t record all of human knowledge but just some of it. They are always waiting for someone—you, perhaps—to improve them. 27. Before Pliny completed Historia Naturalis, ________ according to the passage. A. nobody knew what Mars was B. there was no encyclopedia on Earth C. nobody had considered walking a waste of time D. no Roman writer had completed an encyclopedia 28. The underlined word “declared” (in Paragraph 3) means “________”. A. made B. said C. created D. laughed 29. The writer expects his readers to ________. A. improve an encyclopedia B. find all the mistakes in Historia Naturalis C. complete the task of editing an encyclopedia D. take a look at the world’s biggest encyclopedia As teenagers (青少年), you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize, or they can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class. Once (一旦) you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real? Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making our dreams real is our life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from making your dream real. In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact (实际上), many small dreams. You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties (困难) on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of (代替) watching TV will bring you better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. If you don’t have dreams, you won’t make up your mind (下决心) to learn something more useful and find new hobbies (爱好). 30. The biggest difficulty on the road to your drear comes from ________. A. your friends B. yourself C. your parents D. your school 31. The underlined word “challenge” mean ________ in Chinese. A. 邀请 B. 麻烦 C. 态度 D. 挑战 32. You should NOT ________ to make your dream come true. A. watch TV instead of studying B always remember what your dream is C. read more books, learn more skills and find new interests D. do what you should do step by step 33. What can we learn from the passage? A. The dreams can only be very big. B. The first thing to do is to write down your dreams. C. If you don’t do this step by step, your dream will come true faster. D. It is not easy to make your dreams come true. 四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分） Earth’s nearest neighbor—the Moon The Moon is a satellite (卫星) of our planet Earth, one quarter of its size, and circling us once every 27.3 days. Many planets have smaller bodies moving around them. As the Moon circles our planet, it gets lit up by sunlight. When it is nearer the Sun, most of the side the Sun shines on cannot be seen from Earth, so we see a crescent (新月). When it is far from the Sun, we see the full moon. No one knows for sure how the Moon was created. The most popular theory says it is the result of a crash (撞击) between a body as big as the planet Mars and the Earth, that happened 4.6 billion years ago, about 30-50 million years after the formation (形成) of the solar system. The Moon has influenced the Earth and the people that live here for thousands of years. Although it only produces about 1/6th of the gravity (重力) of Earth, the Moon’s gravity is still strong enough to attract the waters of our seas from around 250,000 miles distance-the Moon is what makes our ocean’s tides (潮汐). People for thousands of years have formed theories that the Moon has an effect on people and their lives. Cave paintings dating back 15,000 years show primitive (原始的) man understood the Moon’s phases (位相). And Ancient Greeks thought that the Moon could cause madness in persons. Even now the Moon attracts artists, film-makers and musicians, and the Moon features in many films, songs, literature and art-works. 34. When can we see the full moon? _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 35. What is the most popular theory that the Moon was created? _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 36. What makes the ocean’s tides? _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 37. Do you expect to see a crescent?

I’ve visited many places of interest, taken lots of wonderful photos and tried all kinds of delicious food all over China. But I miss the trip to Tai’an the most. Climbing Mount Tai has always been one of my dreams. So I went there with my family last summer holiday. We started climbing at 2:00 am and got to the top of the mountain at 5:00 a.m. After an hour the sun rose slowly. I was really tired during the trip. But when I saw the beautiful sun, I felt very excited. This is my travel experience. Thank you all. 题目② 【39题答案】 【答案】 例文： My Hobby Everyone has his or her own hobby and so do I.
