A history textbook. B. A travel guide book. C. A community notice board. B Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction. A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert, so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It's like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest. Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area. Some animals can sense the earth's magnetic field(磁场),while humans can't. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet. However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals. 6.The question “How do they make it?” in Paragraph 1 is raised to ____. A. surprise the readers B. express the writer's opinion C. make the readers think 7.How can a certain kind of ants find their way? A. By imagining the way. B. By counting their steps. C. By bringing food together. 8.What does the underlined word “mystery” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Secret. B. Choice. C. Reason. 9.What's the structure of the text? A. // B. // C. // 10.Which can be the best title for the text? A. Birds' Sense of Light B. Fish's Sense of Smell C. Animals' Sense of Direction C A long time ago, an official named Pang Gong from the State of Wei(魏国) was going to the State of Zhao. Before leaving, Pang felt there was still something he needed to tell the King of Wei. He came to the king and said,“Your Majesty, if someone says a tiger appeared in the market, would you believe it?” The king said,“You must be joking. How could I believe such a thing? We haven't seen a tiger there for many years.” Pang said,“If two people say there's a tiger, would you believe it?” The king said no. Pang kept on,“What if three people all come and say there's a tiger?” The king said,“Then I would believe it.” Pang said,“Your Majesty,you know that there can't be a tiger in the market.Just because three people say so, you would believe it. Now I will be away for three years. If some people tell bad stories about me, Your Majesty, can you find the truth then?” After that, Pang left the State of Wei. As soon as he left, many other officials told the king that Pang Gong was a bad official.

At that time, Zhong met lots of difficulties, such as being short of electricity and office space. But the most difficult thing was to find the monkeys, because they live in the forests of high mountains. Zhong always went to the mountains to look for the animals when he had time. In 1985, Zhong saw black snub-nosed monkeys for the first time. He followed them for five days to observe(观察) them. He then wrote an article about the animals' habits. Zhong found there was little farmland in the mountainous areas and that villagers had to cut wood to make a living. It did bad to the monkeys. To solve the problem, he thought of the idea of building terraced fields(梯田). In 2008, Zhong began to work in Xiangguqing Village. With Zhong's help, the monkey population there has been growing. The village is now the only place in China where people can watch the monkeys up close. Although Zhong was busy with his work, he didn't stop studying. He finished college in 2000.

But in Australia, Jim and Robert's mother, Mrs Black, has good and fun ways to get her children to do housework. The wise mother makes her children do housework happily by letting them choose cards. On the cards, there are some words like these,“sweep the floor, clean your bedroom, help Mom cook, wash vegetables, make the bed, feed the fish, clean the bathroom” and many others. Jim and Robert choose two cards for each day from Monday to Friday. Then they will hang them on the weekly task board(任务板). Jim likes to clean the bathroom, so he firstly picks up the card “clean the bathroom”. Robert loves to make the bed, so he firstly picks up his favorite card. Then Jim picks up “wash vegetables” and Robert chooses “feed the fish”. Soon the two boys are happy to take away all the cards. To help the children do housework, their mother thinks hard and comes up with this idea. Of course, the mother does the housework with her husband on weekends and leaves Jim and Robert two days free. 46.What does the writer think of the mom's ways?                                                                                                                                                          47.How does the mom make her children do housework?                                                                                                                                                          48.How many cards do Jim and Robert choose for each day from Monday to Friday?                                                                                                                                                          49.What housework does Robert love to do?                                                                                                                                                          50.When will Jim and Robert be free?                                                                                                                                                         ​​​​​​​ 六、书面表达（1小题，共20分） 假如你是李华,Peter是你最好的朋友。请你以“My Best Friend”为题,写一篇短文,比较你与Peter在外貌、性格、爱好等方面的相同之处与不同之处,说说在所有朋友当中你最喜欢他的原因及你对朋友的理解与感受。 Key words: tall, outgoing, differences, similar, share, thanks to... 要求:(1)包含所给的提示信息,可以适当发挥; (2)语句正确,意思通顺、连贯,书写规范; (3)文中不得出现任何真实信息(姓名、班名、校名和地名等); (4)不少于70词。(开头已给出,不计入总词数。) My Best Friend My best friend is Peter.

He is tall and outgoing. We have been good friends since we met in school. We have similar hobbies. Both of us enjoy playing basketball and reading books. We often share our favourite stories and talk about them after class. However, there are also some differences between us. For example, Peter is more outgoing than me, and he likes to make friends. I am quieter and prefer spending time with a small group. Another difference is that he is better at sports, while I am better at subjects like English. Among all my friends, I like Peter best. The reason is that he always shares his happiness with me and helps me when I have problems. Thanks to him, I have learned what true friendship means. I think a good friend should be kind, honest, and willing to share both good and bad times. I feel lucky to have Peter as my best friend 第1页，共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
