I have an older brother and an older 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 the argument and bring them together to make peace."Dad,you shouldn't say that to Mum,but Mum,try to see it this way.""Come on guys,we all love each other.It's just been a bad day."I'd say it often worked. I learned much growing up in my family:understanding,being patient and the truth 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,some- times,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 of care and responsibility,we can weather the storm and help each other out. 5.What do we know about the writer's family? A.Two of the kids in the family are girls. B.The writer is the youngest in the family. C.The writer never argued with his parents D.His parents always got along well with each other. 6.What did the writer often do as a mediator? A.Started a conversation angrily. B.Did nothing but watch. C.Helped one side to fight the other. D.Tried to make peace. 7.Which of the following can take the place ofweather the storm"in the text?

D.To explain what to do during a storm. 8.Which is the best title for the text? A.My parents'bad days B.Growing up in a small house C.Ups and downs in my family D.Helping my family get along C Imagine a dinosaur in an ancient forest.It is running around to find its next meal With an angry shout,it opens its mouth,raises its beautiful feather-covered arms,and.. Wait,feathers on a dinosaur?For hundreds of years,people thought dinosaurs looked like big lizards.Just look at the dinosaurs in books,films and TV shows!But thanks to a piece of amber(),scientists now know this idea is wrong.In the amber 英语试卷第2页（共8页） from Southeast Asia,they found a dinosaur's tail-and it had feathers These beautiful golden stones quietly keep parts of the past.They can tell us if dinosaurs had feathers,but that's not all.They also help us understand that life on Earth is always changing.For example,a piece of amber from Northern Europe has a flower inside.This kind of flower no longer grows in this area.But this finding proves it grew here 35 million years ago.In the future,amber may also help us find out if other living things have changed over time. Thanks to amber,more than 300 unknown species have been found.In a piece of amber from Africa,scientists found 13 ants.Studies show they are a totally new species. Scientists used to think ants came from the northern part of the Earth.The discovery of these Afican ants has changed people's old ideas about the history of ants.Who knows what other secrets this piece of amber may tell us? As a"window to the past",amber has been studied a lot.But it is still not fully understood.We should work harder on research.Then we can use this 'key"to open more secrets of nature. 9.What did people think dinosaurs look like before? A.Big birds with feathers. B.Huge lizards without feathers. C.Small animals with long tails. D.Beautiful insects in amber. 10.How did scientists know dinosaurs had feathers? A.They saw dinosaurs with feathers in films. B.They found a dinosaur's tail with feathers in amber. C.They studied the flowers kept in amber. D.They observed living dinosaurs in forests 11.What did the discovery of the 13 Afican ants change? A.People's old ideas about the history of ants B.The way scientists study amber. C.The number of unknown species in Africa. D.People's understanding of dinosaur feathers 12.What does the writer think of amber? A.It is just a beautiful golden stone. B.It is a useful 'key"to unlock nature's secrets. C.It has already told us all secrets of the past. D.It is too difficult to study and understand. D A new study suggests that horses can smell human fear.Researchers believe that when people are scared,horses may sense it through their body smell.This finding could be important to riders,trainers,and anyone else who works closely with horses. In the study,scientists collected sweat()from volunteers who had just watched either ascary movie or a happy film.They then placed cotton pads containing these sweat samples()near the horses'noses.The results showed clear differences 英语试卷第3页（共8页） in how the horses reacted..When exposed to(暴露于)thefear sweat'”,the horses were more easily startled,had faster heart rates,and were less likely to get close to their handlers()compared to when they smelt sweat from people who had watched joyful scenes The researchers explain that this may mean fear can spread between humans and horses.Just as humans can sense each other's emotions(),horses might pick up on human fear through smell,which acts as a warning signal.One researcher noted, "Unconsciously,we can pass our emotions to animals,and this can strongly affect how they feel in return.” Smell is a very basic and powerful sense used for communication.While most research looks at how animals of the same species communicate through smell-like finding a mate,this study shows that scent()signals can also cross species lines. Horses,it seems,can notice emotional changes in humans through body smell. The researchers advise that people who work with horses should be aware of their own emotions.Arriving in a relaxed and positive mood can lead to better interactions()with the horse.If a person is afraid,the horse may also become fearful and react more strongly in a new or uncertain situation.This study just highlights how closely connected humans and animals can be. 13.How does the writer start the text? A.By telling a story about a horse. B.By asking a question about animals. C.By describing a scientific experiment. D.By introducing a new research finding. 14.What does the underlined word"startled"in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Calm and quiet. B.Tired and sleepy C.Excited and happy. D.Surprised and frightened. 15 When people work with horses,they should A.communicate with horses first B.watch happy movies before working C.manage their own feelings D.avoid showing any feelings to horses 16.What is the main idea of the text? A.Horses can understand human language easily. B.Horses can feel human fear through smell. C.Horses communicate with each other by smell D.People should keep away from startled horses 第二节阅读短文，从下面所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其 中有一个多余的选项。 Nature is full of amazing wonders.We can see beautiful flowers blooming() in the garden,clear rivers flowing slowly through the forests,high mountains standing 英语试卷第4页（共8页） tall against the sky,and lovely animals jumping and playing around us.17 It can make us forget our worries and live a happier and healthier life When we walk in a quiet park or a peaceful village,we can fully enjoy the beauty of nature.Look at the blue sky and white clouds.Listen to the gentle sound of wind and birds singing in the trees.18 We can take a deep breath of the fresh air and feel relaxed. 19 We can go hiking along the mountain paths,have a picnic near the river with family and friends,or sit quietly on the grass to watch the sun set slowly and paint the sky in golden and orange colors.These outdoor activities bring us endless joys.They also help us stay away from the busy and noisy city life. It is not enough to just enjoy nature.20We should not pick flowers or throw rubbish everywhere.We need to take small actions every day to keep the natural world clean and beautiful.

I can tell whether they're upset or happy by their voices and facial expressions.This makes me feel like I understand them better."

The ways to be active listeners Listen to your friends carefully,and avoid jumping in with your own thoughts and feelings.If you really want to talk,Samaritans suggests making a listening sign instead,like nodding your head.Besides,ask questions or say things that need more than a "yes"or "no"as the answer.At the same time,pay attention to their facial expressions and body language.Remember:Active listening takes practice. 41.What else does active listening mean besides listening carefully? 42.How can Annie tell whether her friends are upset or happy? 43.What are the benefits of active listening? 44.Do you think active listening is important in your life?Why or why not?Write 30 words or more. 英语试卷第7页（共8页） 五、书面表达（满分20分） 45.假定你是李辉，今年暑假，你校将与英国友好校联合举办夏令营(summer camp)活动。作为此次活动的联络员，请你给对方负责老师Mr.Green写一封 邮件，内容包括 (1)告知对方活动的主题(heme)及内容： (2)询问对方对活动的建议： (3)期盼尽快回复。 注意： (1)词数80~100，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； (2)可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； (3)邮件中不能出现真实姓名及学校名称。 Dear Mr.Green, How is everything going?
