This scared him a little, so he took out his favourite book, Harry Potter, to read. Again, there was another terrible sound of thunder. He tried to focus on the book, but the sudden sound of the doorbell stopped him. It couldn't be his parents. He looked at the wall clock––it was only ten minutes past three. Usually, they got home after six in the afternoon. The doorbell sounded again.“Who's there?” he shouted. There was no reply and the doorbell sounded again! He remembered his parents telling him not to open the door without checking who it is. “Maybe it's someone I don't know. Should I answer the bell or not?” thought Andy. He decided to be cautious and prepare himself well for the uninvited guest. He went into a room and came out with a baseball bat, which he hid behind the door. He shouted once again,“Who's at the door?” There was still no reply. No sound of footsteps either. He was almost sure it couldn't be any of his neighbours or friends. He held the baseball bat in one hand and blocked the door. Suddenly, there was a loud cry.“Andy! Andy! Why don't you open the door?”“It's Dad!” Andy shouted and opened the door. “Why are you holding a baseball bat?” asked Dad. For a moment, the boy seemed unable to speak. Then Dad gave him a big smile, perhaps understanding why. 16.Why did Andy read Harry Potter that afternoon? A. He liked it very much. B. He wanted to be less afraid. C.

How about now? Half the size and crowded(拥挤的). There were still boxes everywhere. The day after the move, Mum and Dad went to work, so I opened some boxes and hung up the family photos on the wall. But it just didn't feel like home. Then I came up with an idea. Perhaps I could make some chocolate biscuits, just like what my grandma used to do whenever I felt sad. However, when I added eggs to the mixer(搅拌器) it suddenly stopped working.“How could it be?” I felt like crying.“What would Grandma do when facing this?” I thought. During those hard times, she did everything she could to support(支持) the family. I didn't think Grandma would give up easily. Instead, she would find another way. So I ran to the boxes to hunt for Grandma's old, white mixer. Finally, I found it and turned it on, but nothing happened. The old mixer was broken too and seemed hard to get repaired(维修),just like my life these days. “Come on. Try again,” a small voice inside my heart said. I turned the switch back on. To my surprise, the mixer started to work slowly. Two hours later, Mum opened the door.“Wow, biscuits! Thank you, George,” she said with tears in her eyes. For the first time, our new home felt like a real one. It even smelled like home, just like Grandma's house always did. This house probably wasn't like our old one. But then again, maybe home wasn't where we lived. It was where we shared the sweet moments and the small magic every day, like a broken mixer that worked again when I needed comfort most. 46.How was the writer's new home at first? _______________________________________________________________________________ 47.What did the writer's mum and dad do the day after the move? _______________________________________________________________________________ 48.Why did the writer feel like crying when he made some chocolate biscuits? _______________________________________________________________________________ 49.What did Grandma do during those hard times? _______________________________________________________________________________ 50.What did home mean to the writer? _______________________________________________________________________________ 六、书面表达（1小题，共20分） 英文有句谚语“No place like home.”,家是幸福温暖的港湾。假如你是Sandy,请你以“Home, Sweet Home”为题写一篇短文介绍你的家。 要求:(1)词数80~100,开头已给出,不计入总词数;(2)内容可适当发挥,使其连贯、通顺;(3)文中不得出现真实的人名、校名和地名等相关信息。 Home,Sweet Home I am Sandy.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                答案 一、1~5.B、C、A、B、A 6~10.A、C、B、B、C 11~15.B、C、C、C、A 16~20.B、C、A、C、C 二、21~25.D、F、E、A、B 三、26~35.C、A、B、C、A、C、C、A、C、B 四、36.thousands 37.clean 38.doing 39.slowly 40.up 41.to change 42.a 43.them 44.If/When 45.boxes 五、46.It was small and crowded./Small and crowded./ Half the size of their old house and crowded./It was half the size of their old house and crowded. 47.They went to work. 48.Because the mixer(suddenly)stopped working. 49.She did everything she could to support the family. 50.It meant a place where his family/people shared the sweet moments and the small magic every day.  六、范文 Home, Sweet Home I am Sandy.
