Passage C You've heard of space rockets,but have you heard of a space balloon?A company called Space 共4页 Perspective is planning to use its new balloon called Space Neptune to take people to the edge )of space.It is expected to take common people on an out-of-the-world vacation. Taking off from Kennedy Space Centre,the trip will take six hours-two hours travelling up, two hours enjoying the view and two hours travelling back.Below the hydrogen ()-filled balloon,a spaceship is large enough for eight travellers to stand and walk freely.Inside the ship are comfortable seats,free Wi-Fi and even a bar.During the six-hour trip,the guests will be able to send photos or videos to people on the ground while enjoying food and drinks. Although the balloon won't really fly into space,this won't be a problem for the guests.At 20 miles above earth,they will experience 360 views of the planet earth and stars,feeling like they are in space.Tickets are expensive,though-seats on board are sold for $125,000 each. Unlike rockets,.Space Neptune doesn't give out carbon dioxide(二氧化碳),which always results in hotter temperatures on the earth.The spaceship will also get its hydrogen from clean and renewable(可再生的)energy.This is why space travel with hydrogen balloons is thought to be the most environmentally friendly so far. The great news is that no special training is needed for this trip,but the bad news is,you'll probably have to wait because the first year's tickets have been sold out already.So,start saving up! 43.How does the writer start the passage? A.By telling a story. B.By asking a question. C.By sharing an experience. D.By listing numbers. 44.What do we know about the trip? A.It will send people to space.

B.It makes the earth hotter. C.It is powered by rockets D.It uses energy from the sun. 46.What would be the best title for the passage? A.How to Make a Space Balloon B.A New Way to Travel to Space C.More Trained Astronauts to Space D.The Space Balloon from the Space Rocket Passage D In the past,I thought I was terrible at many things,such as math,French and science.Although I was good at drawing,I wasn't the best in my art class.I wanted to find out who I was,what I 第3页 liked,and how I could do it better.So,that winter,I took a notebook and kept my diary.When I filled that notebook,I started another one,and then another. Keeping a diary helps a lot.Studies have shown that people who keep a diary sleep and feel better.It helps people remember what once happened such as dreams,friendships and happiness. Writing about bad feelings can also help brains get over them and move on.Personally,I learn better about myself and my relationships with others by keeping a diary.For example,when I am fighting with my dad,I'll try writing from his point and it works!If I want to compare myself with my classmates,I'll write something like,"I might not have clear skin,but I like my eyes." Right about now,you might be thinking:it sounds great,but I'm not a good writer,or I'd love to keep a diary,but my handwriting is terrible.Don't worry!Keeping a diary is not like doing your homework-there are no rules,so do whatever feels best. 47.How does the writer introduce her topic in Paragraph 1? A.By sharing a story. B.By showing research findings. C.By making comparison. D.By giving numbers. 48.What does the underlined word "them"refer to? A.Studies. B.Bad feelings. C.Friendships D.Brains. 49.What is the second paragraph mainly about? A.Ways of having clear skin. B.Reasons for fighting with Dad. C.Advantages of keeping a diary. D.Rules of comparing with others. 50.What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage? A.To show the important of good handwriting when writing a diary. B.To encourage others to keep a diary to better understand themselves. C.To explain how to write a good diary to know more about themselves. D.To introduce the benefits of keeping a diary for personal development. Passage E People often think doing nothing is quite easy,but sometimes it can be very hard.Many of us want to help wild animals when they seem to be in trouble.51 In fact,the best thing to do is leave the animals alone.Wild animals are stronger than we think.This protects both you and the animal. Young wildlife usually are not alone,even if a parent is not around.For example,baby birds often leave the nest before they can fly,jumping around on the ground for days.52 By trying to help wildlife,you might hurt them.A man in Georgia saw a manatee (out 士4页 of the water. 53 So he pushed it back into the water.Scientists said the manatee was possibly just enjoying the sun on a warm day 54 Even professional people get hurt sometimes.Manatees may look slow, but there is a lot of energy hiding within their thick fur 55 You'll know a wild animal needs help if it has a broken leg or is caught in a man- made trap(陷阱).Ifso,call a professional wildlife rescuer(救援者).They know how to help wild animals In a word,the best way is to leave wildlife alone,whenever possible,keeping them truly wild. A.But we need to stop doing so. B.Your "help"may also hurt you C.He thought the manatee was trapped. D.You'd better help the wild animals at once E.Sometimes wildlife certainly needs our help. F.This type of activity can be dangerous for the animals G.At the same time,the parents may be getting food somewhere else. Section 4 Writing (20') Part 1 Read and answer the following questions.(10') You've been learning words since you were a tiny baby.At first,you learned them only by hearing other people talk.Now that you're a reader,you have another way to learn words.What should you do when you come to a word and you think you don't know what it means?Following some easy steps can help you. Say it First sound it out.Then say it to yourself.It might sound like a word you know.Sometimes you know a word in your head but you don't know what it looks like in print.So if you connect what you know with what you read,you will have the word! Use context If this doesn't work,take the next step:look at the context,the other words and sentences around it.Read this sentence:When it rained,the dog looked for shelter in the doorway.If the word shelter doesn't look familiar,look at the words around it.They might give you useful information and help you understand the whole sentence or passage. Use word parts If the context doesn't help,look at the parts of the word.Does it have any parts you know? 第4页 These can help you understand what it means.If you don't know the meaning of miner,try looking at parts of the word.You might know that a mine is a place underground where people get coal and other valuable things.A lot of times,-er at the end of a word means "a person who does something".So a miner might be someone who works in a mine. If the three steps above don't work,you can use the fourth step-look it up!You can find the word in a dictionary-either a book or online. Nobody knows the meaning of every word,but good readers know how to understand words they don't know. 56.How did people learn words at first?(2) 57.Why do you look at the words or sentences around an unfamiliar word?(2') 58.How many steps are mentioned when you come to an unknown word?(2) 59.When studying English,what ways do you think are useful?(please give two examples)(4') Part 2 Writing.(10') 60.每个人都是独一无二的,都有与众不同之处。人们喜欢你一定会有很多原因。请以 What Makes Me a Good Friend?为题写一篇不少于60词的英语短文,内容包括: 1.你的2个独特品质: 2.能够体现你独特品质的具体事件。 What Makes Me a Good Friend? 共4页
