It has been held ten times in Hope Town. Sam, aged 20, finished nine races with his younger brother Luke. Every race was a victory for them. Luke can’t walk, talk or feed himself because of a rare brain illness since birth. But Sam wants his brother to know what it feels like to be part of a sport instead of having to sit and watch. A local TV journalist interviewed Sam after he received the Town Hero Award. (J=Journalist, S=Sam) J: How did you get the idea to include Luke in these events? S: When I was ten, my mom showed me a video of two young men from another city doing triathlons. One of the men had a condition like Luke has. I got the idea from that. J: What’s it like having Luke along? S: I feel good and proud during the whole triathlon, for I’m giving something to Luke. He can experience things any other man would. J: What do you get from him? S: It’s the smile on Luke’s face. That smile brightens me. The feeling of knowing that I’ve done something for him is unbelievable. J: When you received the Town Hero Award, you talked about the importance of changing the way you see things. What did you mean? S: People see Luke very differently: “Oh, he can’t do something like that. He’s disabled.” But if you just change how you see things, you can see there are many possibilities where Luke can do swimming, biking or even triathlons, like we do. J: What would you like to share with other young men? S: I feel that my brother’s experience shows you that with a change of mind, you can make something impossible accomplished. J: Thank you. We all admire you for your unusual experiences and achievements. S: All I’ve achieved is my love as well. 28. What is a triathlon? A. B. C. D. 29. What made Sam have Luke along in triathlon? A.

It sounded empty, but she knew it wasn’t. Everyone was busy with their own things. Holly sat down and looked out at the empty garden. Then she had a great idea. It was time for Holly to talk to her parents. And she did it. One Saturday morning after the talk, Holly’s parents and Holly went to Willow Farm. It was very far, so they drove there. On the farm, Holly got a lovely dog. She was so happy—and the dog was happy, too! The dog got his name—Eco. “That dog is your responsibility, Holly,” said her father. “No problem! ” Holly agreed. Holly and her new friend had a good time together. She took Eco for his first morning walk and went to school with a quick meal. She was always late because of that. A few days went by. Holly had to say sorry for Eco every day because the dog seemed to know no rules. Then one night, Holly decided to punish Eco and the dog was kept in the greenhouse alone. The next morning, Holly woke up early. She went downstairs to find Eco. There were leaves and dirt on the kitchen floor. “Oh no,” said Holly. “Eco? Where are you?” There was no answer. So Holly entered the balcony and it was a disaster. She saw her mum’s plants and flowers in a great mess. They were all over the floor. “All my beautiful plants! You bad dog!” Holly said. “Come here!” Eco looked confused (困惑的) and didn’t move. “Get out. Do you hear me? I have to clean up before Mum and Dad wake up.” Holly opened the door. Eco still didn’t move. Suddenly Holly got really angry. “GET OUT, YOU STUPID DOG!” she shouted. — Adapted from Holly’s New Friend 31. How did Holly feel at home before she got the dog? A. Angry. B. Lonely. C. Excited. D. Afraid. 32. What did Holly’s parents mean by saying the underlined sentence in paragraph 3? A. They had no interest in keeping a dog at all. B. They were too busy to take good care of a dog. C. They wanted Holly to learn how to look after a dog. D. They thought Holly was the only one to teach the dog. 33. What would probably happen next according to the story? A. Holly would give Eco back to the farm. B. Parents would punish Holly for the mess. C. Eco would do good for the fear of Holly. D. Holly would try to teach Eco some rules. D Do you like travelling? Do you think travelling is tiring or enjoyable? In the year 2070, most of you will be about 60 years old. The good news is that travelling might become smarter by that time. European airline EasyJet has made some predictions (预测) and showed them to the public: The Future Travel Report. Let’s take a look at some of their ideas. Paper passports will be a thing of the past. You will use “heartbeat passports” instead. According to experts, everyone’s heartbeat is different. So your heartbeat will be taken and be used to tell who you are. The seats on the plane will no longer be “one size fits all”. You’ll be able to book a seat according to your body type. The seat might even be able to cool or warm you until you feel comfortable with the temperature. There will also be no more screens on the back of your seats. A special machine in the future could show movies straight in front of your eyes. If you hate packing clothes, you may not need to do it in the future. Before you fly, your body shape will be taken. And when you arrive, you’ll find a wardrobe filled with 3D-printed clothes in your size. When you leave, the clothes can be recycled and reprinted for the next person. You can also 3D print whatever you want to eat. If you like to visit historic sites (历史古迹), augmented reality (AR，增强现实) will change the game. Wearing a headset, you can see what happened at a historic site, such as a famous battle. You may even be able to sit among the cheering people at the first Olympic Games. 34. According to The Future Travel Report, which of the following can you do? A. You can make your heartbeat different. B. You can watch a film without a screen. C. You can wear other people’s 3D-printed clothes. D. You can take part in a famous battle with a headset. 35. Which is the advantage (优势) of future seats on the plane? A. They have the same size. B. They can change temperature. C. They won’t have any screens on the seat. D. They can show movies in front of your eyes. 36. How does the passage show the functions (功能) of AR? A. By asking questions. B. By telling stories. C. By giving examples. D. By showing details. 37. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Tips for travelling in the future. B. Problems with travelling in the future. C. What travelling will be like in the future. D. What to do when travelling in the future. 第Ⅱ卷 主观题（共50分） 四、词汇运用（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） （A）根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。 38.

They are not just tools (工具) to keep people away from rain or sunlight, but also works of art (艺术品) with rich cultural meaning in China. Chinese oil-paper umbrellas are one of the world’s oldest umbrellas. According to historical records, the first oil-paper umbrella came out during the Eastern Han Dynasty. They soon became very popular, especially among the literati (文人). They loved to write and draw on the umbrella to show their literacy tastes and painting skills. Oil-paper umbrellas are a necessary part of traditional Chinese weddings (婚礼). A red oil-paper umbrella is needed when the bride (新娘) goes into the groom’s home. That’s because people believe the umbrella can help stop bad luck. Also, the sound of oil-paper in Chinese sounds like “youzi”, which means having more children. It takes quite a lot of time and effort to make a Chinese oil-paper umbrella by hand. Luzhou in southwest China’s Sichuan Province is now the only main production place for handmade oil-paper umbrellas in China. There, craftsmen (手艺人) must complete more than 90 steps and use over 100 different tools to make a single umbrella. With all their efforts, a traditional oil-paper umbrella made in Luzhou can stand strong winds and 3,000 openings and closings. 58. Do people use oil-paper umbrellas on sunny days? ________________________________ 59. When did the first oil-paper umbrella appear? ________________________________ 60. Why did the literati (文人) love to write and draw on the umbrella? ________________________________ 61. How many times can an oil-paper umbrella made by hand in Luzhou open and close? ________________________________ 62. What do you think of the oil-paper umbrella? ________________________________ 八、书面表达 （20分） 63. 进入初中两年来，你收获并成长了很多。在即将举行的八年级青春仪式上，你将以“How to be a good teenager”为题进行演讲，请根据下表提示写一篇英语演讲稿。内容要点如下： 要点 内容 Manners 1.
