Sometimes they stop talking. Our family has had lots of ups and downs. I'd say arguments often happen in our family too. I have an elder brother and an elder sister. I'm the baby boy in the family. We grew up in quite a small house and often didn't have a lot of money. My mum and dad argued, pretty much all the time, just about anything. My brother and sister argued. And I used to argue. But as I got older, I always chose to be the mediator(调解员). I would try to look at both sides of an argument and bring them together to make peace.“Dad,you shouldn't say that to Mum, but Mum, try to see it in this way.”“Come on guys, we all love each other. It's just a bad day.” I'd say these words often worked. I learned much growing up in our family：understanding, being patient and the knowledge that sometimes things just don't go your way. We all make mistakes. We all say things that we wish we hadn't. The key is to try and understand. Of course, sometimes arguments do need to happen. If something is wrong, it needs to be solved and sometimes, we get angry about it. But as long as we can reflect and look at things with an attitude(态度) of care and responsibility, we can weather the storm and help each other out. 4.What do we know about the writer's family? A.

Helping My Family Get Along C The Eye of the Sahara is one of earth's most amazing natural wonders. It's a special place in the desert(沙漠) of Mauritania, Africa. Looking from the sky, it looks like a huge, bright eye! It is as long as 500 football fields. The Eye looks like a big round pizza with different coloured parts. How was it made? Millions of years ago, the ground under the sand started to rise up. Then, wind and rain slowly wore away the soft rocks(岩石) , leaving the hard ones behind. Over time, these hard rocks formed the beautiful circles we see today. From above, you can count about 10 round circles, each one has a different colour. The biggest circle is on the outside, with smaller ones inside. But the Eye of the Sahara is in trouble. The desert is very dry, and sandstorms often blow over it. The sand can make the rocks difficult to see. Also, not many people know about this amazing place because it's far from big cities. What can we do to help? Scientists are studying the Eye to find ways to conserve the rocks from sand. Some people also suggest building a small road or a simple visitor centre nearby. This way, more kids and tourists can come and see the Eye of the Sahara. 8.What can we learn about the circles of the Eye from Paragraph 2? A. They are all the same size. B. The smallest circle is in the centre. C. Each circle has the same colour. D. There are about 8 round circles. 9.Why can't many people visit the Eye of the Sahara easily? A. Because it's too small to find. B. Because it's far from cities. C. Because it's always full of water. D. Because it's too hot to get there. 10.What does the underlined word “conserve” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Climb. B. Hike. C. Develop. D. Protect. 11.What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To talk about dangerous sandstorms. B. To tell how to build a visitor centre. C. To compare different deserts in Africa. D. To describe a natural wonder and its challenges.

Today, I'd like   (31)  (introduce) a desert to you-the Sonoran Desert. The Sonoran Desert covers about 311,000 square kilometres. And it is one of the widest   (32)  (desert) in North America. The Sonoran Desert   (33)  (include) parts of California, Arizona and Mexico. Summer in the Sonoran Desert is very hot. The temperature is often more than 100   (34)  (degree) during the day.

During the hot days, these animals hide(躲藏) in the shade or underground.  (40)  (stay) cool helps animals keep water in their bodies. 五、任务型阅读 You do it all the time—even when you're asleep! If you stopped doing it, you would be in trouble. What is it? It's breathing! Most living things need air to survive, and we breathe even without thinking about it. It happens for sure. But how does breathing actually work? Let's try a simple test: Put your hand on your chest (胸膛). Take a deep breath of air. Do you feel your chest getting bigger? Now slowly let the air out. Feel how small it gets. Inside your chest are two lungs (肺). They are like big balloons. Their job is to help you breathe. When you breathe in, your lungs are filled up with air. Breathe out, and the air goes out too. Do you know most people take about 22,000 breaths of air each day? Your lungs work really hard and they never rest. That's why it is important to take good care of your lungs. Get exercise and breathe deeply. One last fun fact: When you yawn (打哈欠), it's not just because you're tired—it's your body's way of saying, “Hey! I need more air!” Your lungs are telling you to take a deeper breath. So next time you yawn, remember—your lungs are just doing their jobs to keep you alive! 41.What is your body doing all the time without stopping according to the text?                                                                                                      42.What happens to our chest when we take a deep breath?                                                                                                      43.What are the two lungs like according to the text?                                                                                                      44.What does it mean when we yawn besides meaning we are tired?                                                                                                      45.How can we protect our lungs? Please give two pieces of advice.                                                                                                      六、书面表达 好的心情对我们的生活和学习都十分重要，假如你们学校的英语俱乐部组织了一次征文大赛，主题就是如何保持好心情，请你根据以下提示,以“How to Keep a Good Mood(心情)”为题用英语写一篇短文。 提示： How to Keep a Good Mood (1) smile (2) talk about your problems (3) wear bright-coloured clothes (4) do something good 要求 （1）词数80左右(作文开头已给出,不计入总词数); （2）可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 How to Keep a Good Mood A good mood makes our life and study easier and better.  _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________​​​​​​​ 第1页，共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
