Then we went to the forest.On the family visit last month,my dad forgot a map,and I remember how relieved(如释重负的)we were to find our car again!This time was completely different,18 we were just following the guides.We closed our eyes and listened for birds.At first,everything was 19.But soon,we clearly heard birds singing.I couldn't believe the range of sounds,from really quiet to pretty loud!Our guides knew what each one was,and soon I did too.That was great-everything sounded so 20 to me before.This trip truly opened my ears. Our teacher put us into groups and luckily,I was with my friends.We counted different kinds of plants in one hour.That might seem like a long,long time,but we were already really hurrying 21.We measured()a five-metre square on the ground and kept a22 of the plants inside that area.We used a list with plant pictures on it-the pictures weren't that clear,but we23 well. After a picnic-we avoided barbecues as they could cause fires and damage the forest-we were shown 24 in trees.Our guides let us guess which animals make their homes inside and how they survive hot and cold weather.

Soon after the first hot-air balloon was flown,people began to try giant balloons that could carry passengers long distances.Called airships,some of these used hydrogen gas(H2) instead of hot air because hydrogen has a much lower density(密度）than air..However, hydrogen burns,and it may cause terrible explosions((爆k炸).Today,airships are filled with the helium gas(He),which has a low density and avoids the risk of fire or explosion. But how exactly does a hot-air balloon rise and fall?The following four stages explain the process clearly. Stage 1:The balloon is on the ground because the air density is the same inside and outside. When the air inside the balloon is heated,the molecules()spread out. Stage 2:The air in the balloon becomes less dense,which makes it lighter.As a result, the balloon rises. The warmer the air in the balloon gets,the less dense and lighter it becomes. Stage 3:The balloon rises higher and higher. To bring the balloon back down,the pilot lets out some of the hot air through a vent(排气孔)at the top. Stage 4:Cool air is drawn in at the bottom,and the balloon falls. 29.What do you know about the first hot-air balloon flight from the passage? A.It flew just for 8 minutes. B.It was sent up by a scientist. C.It used cool air to lift the balloon. D.It carried three human passengers. 30.Why do modern airships use He instead of H2? A.He makes the airship fly much faster. B.He does not burn,so it is much safer. C.He is easier to find and cheaper to use. D.He has a lower density and provides more lift. 31.Which is the correct order for a hot-air balloon to work? a.Cold air goes into the balloon. b.Hot air inside becomes lighter and lighter. c.Air density inside and outside is nearly the same. d.Air in the balloon becomes less dense as it heats up. A.a-b-d-c B.a-d-c-d C.c-d-b-a D.c-a-d-b 英语试卷第5页（共12页) C Magic words are usually only found in fairy tales,but the word"why"comes quite close to being magical(魔力的).It has changed the world many times. Every important progress and great achievement in human history has started with a question:a"Why?",an"I wonder?",or"Shall we try?".Every experiment and discovery starts with a question,sometimes as simple as "What is this?" Often,the more you know about something,the more questions you have.This might sound strange-surely if you know a lot,you don't need to keep asking anything However,humans have learned many important things by asking questions. Wonder mode:On Curiosity is so important.It's how people get to know one another,understand things and solve problems. One of the most important life-saving developments came from people's thinking, "Hang on,what's going on here then?"In the late 18th century,the deadly disease smallpox()killed huge numbers of people.A doctor named Edward Jenner heard a story.Anyone who had caught a similar illness called cowpox couldn't catch smallpox. Interested in this,and curious about what was going on,he began testing the idea.This led to the development of vaccines(疫苗). Another huge leap came about in 1928.The scientist Alexander Fleming came back from a holiday.He noticed something unusual in a dish in his lab and said,"Isn't it funny?"Fleming looked into what was funny.It was a type of mould((霉菌)that seemed to stop bacteria(细菌) from spreading.This led him to discover penicillin(青霉素). There are no silly questions When children are babies and are first getting to know the world,everything is a question-even before they know enough words to be able to ask one.Early life is like many small experiments.Sometimes the answer to"What happens if I do this?"is"I land on my bottom and it hurts"-but that's still an important lesson. Sometimes,as people get older,they can worry that asking questions makes them sound silly,but the cleverest people in the world spend their lives asking questions.And getting an answer is never the end for them. 32.Why is the word"why"described as magical in the passage? A.Because it is often used in fairy tales. B.Because it brings many changes to the world. C.Because clever people ask it to avoid looking silly. D.Because children learn "why"as their first question. 英语试卷第6页（共12页） 33.How does the writer show the importance of being curious? A.By giving ideas from fairy tales. B.By describing children's daily life. C.By showing numbers of sick people D.By telling two true stories of scientists. 34.Which old saying matches the writer's idea? A. Among any three people.there is always something to B Without learing.there's no achievement;without asking. leam. there's no knowledge. -Confucius.The Analects ofComfucins Wang Chong.Lun lleng The road is long and far.yet I will search high and low. D Learning without friends leaves one narrow-minded and poorlynfomed. Qu Yuan.Sorrow After Departure The Book of Rites 加 35.What will the writer probably talk about after the last paragraph? A.How to ask questions more deeply. B.Famous questions that changed the world C.The reason some adults lose their curiosity. D.Ways to become smarter and smarter every day. D I was in high school and my brother Nels was a senior,and talking about going to the university.My sister Christine was graduating from Winford Middle School,and she was so smart that she won a medal.Mama kept the shiny medal in a beautiful box. To Mama and Papa,an education was the finest thing in the world,and unlike other parents we knew,they did not think it a sacrifice()to keep us all in school. We naturally expected Christine to go on to high school.But Christine-without a word to any of us-got herself a job in a factory. Mama pleaded and pleaded,but Christine kept going to work. She brought her first week's pay home and put it on the kitchen table.“It is for you,Mama.” "I do not want it."Mama shook her head sadly. "What's wrong with it,Mama?I worked hard for it." "It is not good money.It is taking away from you the chance at an education.Better that you forget the job,my Christine,and go on to high school." But Christine only left the money on the table.And since Mama wouldn't touch it,it stayed right there. One week's-two weeks'-coins piled up on the table. The third week's money were added to the pile,and it was like a weight upon us.No more laughter and little jokes as we sat around the table. Papa did lots of extra work so that Mama could get herself a coat. 英语试卷第7页（共12页） "Always,"he said,"something happens when you go to buy the coat.This time,you must buy for yourself." Mama said she would.And later that day,Mama came home with a heavy package. "The coat!"Dagmar,my little sister,cried. Nels opened the package and in silence took out twelve big books. “Complete High School Course,”he read,“In Twelve Easy-to-Read Volumes(册).” “For Christine,”Mama explained..▲_”Mama smiled at Christine.“You will do that for Mama?” Christine touched the books."You spent your coat money for these?" Mama shrugged(耸肩).“I can get the coat another time.But these-Christine?” Christine smiled and looked right at Mama."Tomorrow-tomorrow I will go to high school with Nels and Katrin." "What are you going to do with the coins on the table?"Dagmar asked loudly. Christine swept the coins up and put them in the Little Bank."For furniture,"she said. “Life is good,”Mama said with satisfaction.“Life is so good,” 36.Why did Christine go to work in the factory without telling her family? A.She was tired of going to school. B.She wanted to give her parents a surprise. C.She thought her parents would be against her. D.She would like to buy clothes and other things. 37.What does the underlined part"pleaded and pleaded"probably mean? A.Let Christine do what she wanted to do. B.Said something to make Christine feel happy. C.Told Christine it was a good idea to take the job. D.Asked Christine to do something again and again. 38.Which sentence is the most suitable for“▲_”？ A.These books will help her get a better job. B.She will get the fine education right at home. C.With the books,she can become a writer one day. D.She always enjoys reading books in her spare time. 39.What made Christine change her mind in the end? A.All the money she saved. B.The boring job in the factory. C.The extra work her father did. D.Mama's action of giving up her coat. 40.What is the best title for the passage? A.The shiny medal B.The coins on the table C.Christine's first pay D.Christine,a smart girl 英语试卷第8页（共12页） 非选择题（共50分） 四、填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） Explore what Spring Bud Dream Growth Camp can do for girls A)请根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使短文意思完整正确， 并将答案填写 在答题卡标号为41一45的相应横线上。 From January 23 to 27,the sixth Spring Bud Dream Growth Camp was held in Beijing.Eighty Spring Bud girls from Gansu and Jilin provinces took part in the five-day camp._4L_(在…期间) the camp,they opened their eyes to new things and grew a lot.

An Icelandic baker named Rafn Hilmarsson bakes hverabrauo (hot-springs bread), just as his mother and his grandmother did before.Every day,Rafn takes the bread dough()to his oven-a hole dug near the town's lake.The hole is about one foot deep,where temperatures are near the boiling point.Rafn covers the hole with sand.After 24 hours,he returns to dig out his fully baked bread,hot from its earthly oven. Most homes are heated using geothermal water from underground.But that wasn't always the case.Until the 1970s,most people in Iceland heated their homes using oil, which was expensive.So the government put in pipes that brought hot water from beneath Earth's surface to Icelanders'homes.Those same pipes carrying hot water to heat homes were also used to help melt()snow and ice from city sidewalks. In this way,Iceland ended the dependence on oil for heating.In Reykjavik, Icelanders'heating costs would be five times as high if they still depended on oil.Iceland uses geothermal energy and water energy to produce 99 percent of the country's electricity Icelanders are using clean energy to power everything from fishing boats to cars and buses driving around Reykjavik. Iceland now shares its practice about geothermal heating with the rest of the world. The president of the country travels to other countries,explaining the advantages of geothermal power.Engineers and geologists from Iceland have helped scientists in Germany,the Philippines,China,and the United States learn more about using Earth's heat for their own projects.The plenty of cheap,efficient energy makes Iceland a possible choice for big companies like Microsoft and Google to run the mega-computers that power the World Wide Web. 英语试卷第10页（共12页） The Most Eco-Friendly Country on Earth Icelanders won the title 56 clean-energy choices and smart use of Introduction natural resources. Personal use: Rafn cooks bread dough in an 57 hole near the lake for 24 hours. Examples The 58 action: Pipes were put in to carry hot water to people's homes and help melt snow and ice from city sidewalks. Compared to oil,geothermal energy 60Icelanders'heating costs by five times. 59 人 61 of depending on oil,Iceland uses geothermal and water power to provide nearly all of its electricity. Iceland has become a 62 in the field of geothermal heating. Influences Big companies consider 63 Iceland to power their computers.

The invention of paper solved these problems and changed how humans c 66 with each other. Paper is one of the Four Great Inventions of Ancient China.In 105 AD,under the Han Dynasty emperor,a government officer named Cai Lun was the f67 to start the papermaking industry.He pounded()different materials,mixed them with water,and put the mixture thinly on a net.When the water d 68,it left behind a thin sheet(), which was light and perfect for writing.People later named it"Caihou paper"in honour of Cai Lun's contributions. For centuries,papermaking r 69 a secret.According to legend,the Tang Dynasty was at war with the Islamic world.A Chinese caravan()was caught and it happened to i 70 several papermakers.They were taken away to Samarkand and people there later learnt how to make paper.Samarkand became an important papermaking centre. Paper finally reached Europe in the twelfth century,brought by traders and travellers a71 the Silk Road.Europeans used water-powered mills(to produce more 英语试卷第11页（共12页） paper.Moreover,the invention of the printing in the fifteenth century increased the growing n 72 for paper. The influence of paper on human life is huge.It made books affordable,s73 more people could get an education.It allowed governments to keep better records.It gave c_74 people a tool for personal expression.Every book,letter,and printed document today goes back to Cai Lun's experiment nearly two thousand years ago. Without his invention,the world as we know it would not exist. 六、书面表达（满分15分） 英语杂志Teens'Voice面向九年级学生征文，主题为“Labour(劳动)and Traditional Festivals'”。请你根据下面征文要求，用英语写一篇短文。 Traditional festivals are not just holidays-they are the wisdom of labour.From Spring Festival cleaning to making zongzi,these hands-on activities hold memories and carry culture.
