When I was in the eighth grade, my class was asked to be friends with the second-grade kids. I got this little girl named Shelley. The first time I saw her, she was silent and cold. She was small for her age, and she didn’t play with the other kids in her class. ▲ . I bought her toys, crayons and candies, but nothing worked. Once I gave her a coloring book and said, “Shelley, now you can color it at anytime.” Shelley looked at the coloring book and then looked up at me, and finally looked away. By that time, I didn’t know how I was going to make her understand me, but I knew I wouldn’t give up on her. One Friday, I decided to tell her a story about my childhood. I told her that I felt lonely when I was with my classmates, and I thought only my teachers liked me. I also told her that every day was a fight for me. I always cried alone so my classmates wouldn’t know how much I was hurting. She sat there just listening, trying to decide if I was telling a lie. Finally, when my story ended, there were tears in her eyes. And then she did something unthinkable. She said, “Thank you.” From then on, Shelley was a different little girl. She started smiling and talking with other kids. Looking back at this, I’m surprised because all I did was to help her realize that she wasn’t alone. I didn’t ask her to tell her story because her story is my story. 36．What was Shelley like when the writer first saw her? A．Cold. B．Lazy. C．Smart. D．Slow. 37．Which of the sentences can we put in ▲ ?

A．honest and works very hard B．friendly and doesn’t give up easily C．afraid but has pity on others D．helpful and has a good sense of humor Fish babies in space (太空)? What surprising news! In a space study on zebrafish, Chinese scientists have set a new record. They successfully got the four zebrafish to live and grow healthily in a closed water world. ① The zebrafish went to China’s space station on the Shenzhou XVIII spaceship on April 25. Since then, they have been living in a closed fish tank (缸) with some plants. The fish grew up and had babies in 43 days. It means that the fish completed a whole life stage, from growth to development and giving babies. ② In their special closed environment, the plants made air for the fish and the fish’s waste gave the plants food. The scientists gave the fish food through a special needle (针管). ③ Such a closed environment is important for future studies in space. It means that plants and animals can live in space more easily. ④ For example, they often swam on their back in space. The low gravity (重力) in space is a big reason. However, on the Earth, gravity pulls everything to Earth’s center, and animals can find their way easily. Gravity also makes their bodies work harder and become stronger. It isn’t the first time fish have been sent to space. Zebrafish were earlier sent to space station in 1976. Why do scientists choose zebrafish? Humans and zebrafish share 70 percent of the same genes (基因). So the new finding will help scientists better understand human health and human diseases. 41．What do we know about the space study? A．There were more than four zebrafish at last. B．It took scientists less than one month. C．It took place in an open fish tank. D．Scientists from different countries did it together. 42．Which picture should be in the circle to show the environment in the fish tank? A． B． C． D． 43．What’s the possible result of the low gravity in space? A．Human bodies get stronger. B．Animals can easily find their way. C．The zebrafish swim on their back. D．The zebrafish swim in the same direction. 44．Where can we put the sentence “The scientists also found that the zebrafish acted differently in space.”? A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 45．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．The importance of the study. B．The ways of the space study. C．Further studies on zebrafish. D．The differences between zebrafish and humans. 四、短文填空 阅读下面的短文，在空白处填入一个恰当的单词或者括号内单词的正确形式。（每空不限填一词） Max Burns, a 19-year-old British man, is very popular on the Internet because of his videos of 46 (make) Chinese food.

Two strong earthquakes took place in Turkey and Syria on Feb 6. The US Geological Survey (USGS) reported that the biggest earthquake had a magnitude (震级) of 7.8. It was the strongest earthquake in that area in over 80 years. Usually, scientists use 1 to 10 to say how strong an earthquake is. Do you know how an earthquake happens? As we all know, the Earth’s surface (表面) has many plates (板块). These plates are always moving. When two plates move past each other, the rocks begin to push against each other. After a while, the rocks break because of all the pressure that’s built up. When the rocks break, there is an earthquake. Earthquakes can happen from near Earth’s surface to the depth (深度) of about 700 kilometers. The shallower (浅的) the quake is, the stronger it is. During the quake in Turkey and Syria, the depth (深度) was about 18 kilometers. This is very close to the surface. That’s why it caused big damage (破坏). There are about 20 active plates on Earth. They move and cause earthquakes. Most earthquakes happen on the plate boundaries. About 96 percent of Turkey’s land lies on the plate boundaries. That’s why the country has earthquakes very often. From 1900 to 2020, it had more than 10 earthquakes stronger than magnitude 7.0. In order to keep safe, when people build houses, they had better not build them on the plate boundaries. How do earthquakes happen? 56 Two strong earthquakes 57 Turkey and Syria on Feb 6. The biggest earthquake had a magnitude of 7.8, which was the 58 earthquake in that area in over 80 years. The 59 of the earthquakes When two plates on the Earth’s surface move past one 60 an earthquake happens from near Earth’s surface to about 700 kilometers 61 .

Conclusion Turkey has earthquakes very often 63 about 96 percent of Turkey’s land lies on the plate boundaries where most earthquakes happen. From 1900 to 2020, it had 64 10 earthquakes stronger than magnitude 7.0. For people’s 65 , they had better not build houses on the plate boundaries. 六、书面表达 66．假如你是李华，你校开设劳动课（labor classes）一年多了，一年多来你学到了很多，发生了变化，请根据内容要点写一封电子邮件给你的朋友Millie，和她分享你的劳动课情况，告诉她你的变化。 内容要点： 1. 你对开设劳动课的看法； 2. 你校开设劳动课的情况； 3. 开设劳动课以来你的变化。 要求： 1. 内容须包括所提示信息，可适当发挥； 2. 文中不能出现真实的人名和校名； 3. 词数：100词左右；邮件的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； 4. 可能用到的短语：put away收起来放好；tidy up收拾妥。 Dear Millie, Today I am glad to tell you something about our labor classes.

Our school has given labor classes for over one year. I think it’s important. We can learn some life skills and develop good habits. Both will help us a lot in the future. We have labor classes once a week. During labor classes, we mainly learn to do housework and fix things. Our school also holds competitions to show our skills once a term. Such activities make our school life more colorful and meaningful. Things have changed a lot since we had labor classes. In the past, my parents cleaned the room and put away things for me after work. When something went wrong in my house, I only waited for my parents’ help. Now I always tidy up my things on my own. When I am free, I cook meals for my family. We are all very happy when we enjoy meals. When something doesn’t work, I can fix it all by myself. Take care and I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Yours, Li Hua 答案第2页，共2页 答案第1页，共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
