Lily, an outgoing basketball star, always had a smile on her face. Emma, a quiet book lover, spent most of her spare time reading. They hardly spoke, thinking that they might have nothing in common. One rainy afternoon, Lily stayed late at school for basketball practice. As she hurried to leave, she fell and sprained (扭伤) her ankle (脚踝). “Ouch！” she cried. She couldn’t walk and felt worried when she realized that she had left her phone in her locker. She didn’t know what to do at that time. Just then, Emma appeared, holding a large umbrella and carrying some books in her arms. Seeing how worried Lily was, she hurried over without thinking twice. “Are you okay?” Emma asked. “I think I hurt my ankle,” Lily replied. She had never expected to get help from the quiet girl. Without thinking twice, Emma helped Lily stand up and handed her the umbrella. She even called a taxi and sent her to the hospital. She stayed with her until Lily’s parents arrived. The next day, Lily thanked Emma sincerely. “You are much kinder than I expected,” she said. Emma smiled, “Friends help each other, right?” From that day on, everything changed. Lily realized that even though they were different, Emma was as reliable (可信赖的) as any other teammate. Emma, in turn, looked up to Lily for her courage.

Differences between Lily and Emma C Trees are one of the oldest plants of our Earth. They keep our air clean, make less pollution, make water cleaner and provide food and building materials. Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At one to three years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns (刺) to stop animals from going near. At the age of four years old, trees begin to grow very quickly and become strong enough to face many difficulties (困难) later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults (成年人). They grow more slowly and begin to produce (生长) flowers and fruit. When the tree is 20 to 25 years old, it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. It gives us shade and provides a great place for a tree house, or a place for us to read a book, listen to music and so on. If we all learn how to protect the adult tree, it will live healthily for many years. Little by little, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, older trees are still very important in nature. When a tree becomes hollow or part of it dies, it can be a home to small animals. In many ways, the life of a tree is similar (相似的) to our own life. When looking at the life of a tree, we should enjoy every minute of its life and take care of the tree! 26. From the article, we know trees learn to protect themselves at ________. A. 1-3 years old B. 4 years old C. 15 years old D. 20-25 years old 27. What does the underlined word “hollow” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. 实心的 B. 空心的 C. 茁壮的 D. 健康的 28. About the growth of the tree, which of the following is the right order (顺序)? a. Grow very quickly. b. Become a real adult. c. Learn how to protect itself. d. Grow older and die. e. Produce flowers and fruit. A. b-a-c-d-e B. c-e-a-b-d C. c-a-e-b-d D. a-c-e-b-d 29. What can we infer (推测) from this article? A. We can find flowers and fruit on 4-year-old trees. B. Older trees can be great places for people to live. C. An adult tree can live long and well if we all learn how to protect them. D. The life of the tree is the same as the life of people. 30. What’s the structure (结构) of the article? (P: Paragraph段落) A. B. C. D. 第二节 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，从所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯。(选项中有一项多余) The word “family” has special meanings to everyone. A happy family is what everyone is thirsty for. However, because of different personalities (性格), values, living habits, interests and hobbies, some unhappy things may happen among family members at times. ____31____ Learn to say thanks and sorry.

We can talk about our experiences and feelings with our family members in the car, at the dinner table or on the way back home.

My favorite saying is, “True friends are always there for you.” It makes me think of my best friend Li Xia. She takes everything more seriously than I do. Li Xia works harder and gets better grades than me. She always tells me about my flaws to my face. But in fact, she truly cares about me. Though we are different in many ways, we have one thing in common. We both love sports. After school, we often play tennis for an hour. Once, I couldn’t answer some difficult questions in a math test, so I opened the book and then wrote the answers down. Luckily, no one saw me. But after the test, Li Xia said she saw me open the book. She thought it’s not right for me to do that. My face turned red. Then she took out of her notebook and showed me how to work out the problems. This is my best friend. What a serious and caring girl she is! Let our friendship last forever. That’s all.
