Tom was interested in raising money for homeless children, but he was not brave enough to talk to the strangers, so he kept quiet in his seat.

On the flag day, Tom and Angela sold flags in a busy street. “Ex­cuse me. Could y­o­u pl­ea­se buy…?” said Angela softly to the first person she met. The man smiled and put a five­dollar coin into Angela's collection bag. Then she said thanks and put a flag under his shoulder. “I did it!” said Angela happily. “It's your turn now.”

Feeling nervous, Tom began to shake. Soon, he saw a young lady walking towards him. The lady was smiling and holding a few coins in her hand. She asked, “Are you selling flags for Fund for the Homeless Children?” Tom's face became red and said yes. Then the lady made the donation (捐赠) and Tom gave her a flag. “You made it!” laughed Angela.

In the next couple of hours, Angela and Tom sold flags quickly and bravely. At last, their collection bags were so heavy that they had to hold them with both arms. They felt very proud.

Books have great power. Between their pages, readers can be on a journey to anywhere imaginable and become just about anyone or anything. Unluckily, many children all over the world don't have chances to read books!

Maria Keller, a 16­year­old girl from America, has been changing that fact for several years. When she was 8 years old, Maria already loved reading. She also noticed that some of her classmates didn't read as much as she did. When she asked her mother why that could be, her mother said that they might not be able to afford (负担得起)books. Maria had never thought of this. She could not believe that some children might not have bedtime stories read to them. She decided to change this.

With her mother's help, Maria created an organization named Read Indeed to collect and send books to children in need. At first, Maria set the goal (目标) to collect and give out 1 million books by the time she was 18. It was at her age of 13 that she reached her goal. Today, at age 16, she has collected over 2. 8 million books and has shipped them to many states and countries around the world.

She says, “I cannot live without books. As I continue my goal, I have learned that the number of kids who have no books is in the hundreds of millions. So I just can't give up, even after reaching my original goal of 1 million books.”

She has recently set a new goal: to give out books to kids in need in every state in the United States, and every country in the world.

(　　)37. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A. When Maria started loving reading books.

B. What her mother told her about reading books.

C. Why Maria decided to start Read Indeed.

D. How the life was without bedtime stories.

(　　)38. Maria started Read Indeed in order to ________.

A. raise money to buy books for children

B. encourage children to read more books

C. sell cheap books to poor children

D. give out books to children in need

(　　)39. When did she get to the goal of 1 million books?

A. At her age of 8.   B. At her age of 13.

C. At her age of 16.  D. At her age of 18.

(　　)40. The underlined word “original” in Paragraph 4 most probably means “________”.

A. the earliest　　　　 B. the easiest

C. the nicest   D. the latest

四、词汇运用(共15小题, 每小题1分, 满分15分)

A)用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空。

41. We all love the Great Wall because it's the ________ of China.

42. ________to my hand while we cross the street.

43. She has a good ________, so she learns more quickly than others.

44. Millions of wild flowers colour the valleys, ________ in April and May.

45. Too much ________ food, such as cakes, chocolate and ice cream, is bad for your health.

B)根据短文内容和所给中文提示, 在空白处写出单词的正确形式。

In different countries and cultures around the world, free time is spent in different ways.

Several years ________46(以前), researchers made a couple of surveys on how people spent their free time. The results ________47(显示)that reading was the most popular activity in the United States, followed by watching TV. In the UK, watching TV and videos was the most popular, and listening to the ________48(收音机) came second. For Japanese, eating out was their favourite activity in their free time. And they also like ________49(驾驶)around.

There were also differences in what people liked to do outdoors ________50(在……之中)the three countries. The most popular outdoor activity for ________51(美国人)was gardening while in Japan it only came ________52(第九). For British people, going to the pub was their first choice, followed by visiting the cinema.

 ________53(虽然)people around the world may enjoy doing some similar things in their free time, their interests are changing. In the US, for example, the interest in ________54(电脑)activities is increasing. More people are spending their free time going online, or playing video games. As reading becomes much ________55(更容易的)on the Internet, online reading will be as popular as other online activities.

 五、语法填空(共10小题, 每小题1分, 满分10分)

阅读下面短文, 按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求, 在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空(每空不多于3个单词)。

An old man went to India. When he got there, he saw some fruit for sale, but most of it was very cheap. The ________56(cheap) thing was a basket of red fruit.

“How much per kilo?” the old man ________57(ask).

“Two rupees (卢比),” the shopkeeper answered. Two rupees in India is almost nothing, ________58 the old man bought a whole kilogram and started eating it.

However, as soon as he started eating, his mouth began________59(burn), his eyes began to water, and his whole face became as red ________60 the fruit. As he coughed and struggled(努力) to breathe, he jumped up and ________61, screaming, “Ah! Ah! Ah!”

And yet he continued to eat the fruit. Some people who were looking at him shook their ________62(head) and said, “You are crazy! Those are chili peppers (辣椒)! You can't just eat them by the handful!”

The old man said to ________63(he), “I paid for them, so I must eat them.”

This old man seemed pretty stupid. But are we so much smarter? All of us have ________64(spend) money and time on something—maybe a relationship, or a business, or a job—and sometimes, even if we know there's no hope that things will change, we still continue with it.

What we can learn ________65 the old man is this: If you've lost a lot over something that doesn't work, let it go and move on. It's better than continuing to lose.

Boys and girls, please stay together. Let's hurry up and begin our class trip to the museum. The visit starts on the first floor. Pay attention to the information about the technology in the old days. Spend as much time as you can looking at everything, because we won't come back.

Then we'll go upstairs to the second floor. After we arrive at the Inventors of the 20th Century Room, please read the invention stories and look at some modern inventions as well. While you look at these inventions, think about how they can make our lives more comfortable.

When you have finished looking at the things on show, take a lift up to the fourth floor. You can go to the cafe for a drink, but don't stay too long. If you want to know more about the museum, you can buy books or magazines, or ask the guide for help. Remember, the most helpful way is to search the museum's website. I'm looking forward to reading the reports about your visit next Monday.

笔试部分

二、16－20: CACAC　21－25: DBCDB　26－30: CDABC

三、A　31. A 　点拨: 细节理解题。根据表格中“Time: on Thursday, May 23rd”所对应的内容可知, 学校将在5月23日举行歌唱比赛。故选A。

32. C　点拨: 细节理解题。根据表格中“Time: 14: 30－16: 30, April 25th”所对应的内容可知, 4月25日学校将在学校大厅举行一次报告会。故选C。

33. A　点拨: 推理判断题。通知内容 “英语俱乐部、数学考试、报告会、歌唱比赛”等与学校生活有关。故选A。

B　34. B　点拨: 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Tom was hesitant (犹豫的), but he finally nodded.”可知, 汤姆最后同意了。故选B。

35. A　点拨: 细节理解题。根据第三段首句“On the flag day, Tom and Angela sold flags in a busy street.”可知, 他们在一条繁忙的大街上售卖旗帜。故选A。

36. C　点拨:  推理判断题。根据短文最后一句“They felt very proud.”可知, 卖完旗帜以后, 他们感觉很骄傲。由此推之, 他们感到自信。故选C。

C　37. C　点拨: 主旨大意题。第二段主要讲述了Maria在听完她的妈妈讲述完为什么有的孩子没有读那么多书之后, Maria想改变这个现状, 让更多的孩子有书看。为后文建立“Read Indeed”组织做铺垫。故选C。

38. D　点拨: 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知, Maria创建该组织是为了把书分发给有需要的孩子们, 故选D。

39. B　点拨: 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句可知, Maria在13岁时就达到了自己的目标, 故选B。

40. A　点拨: 词义猜测题。根据“At first, Maria set the goal (目标) to collect and give out 1 million books by the time she was 18.”可知, 起初, Maria设定的目标是在她18岁时收集并分发100万本书, 所以分发100万本书是Maria最初的目标, 结合含有此画钱词的句子可推测, “original”的意思应为“最初的, 最早的”, 故选A。

四、A) 41. symbol　42. Hold　43. memory　44. especially　45. sweet

B) 46. ago　47. showed　48. radio　49. driving　50. among

51. Americans 　52. ninth　53. Although/Though　54. computer

55. easier

五、56. cheapest　点拨: 由上句中表范围的“most of it was very cheap”可推知, 大部分水果都很便宜, 但最便宜的是一篮红水果。名词thing前面应用形容词作定语, 故此处应填形容词的最高级cheapest。

57. asked　点拨: 由第1段第1句“An old man went to India.”可知, 本文讲述的是过去的一个故事, 故此处应用动词的过去式作谓语。故填asked。

58. so　点拨: 分析句子结构可知, 空格前面“Two rupees in India is almost nothing”表原因, 空格后面的 “the old man bought a whole kilogram and started eating it”表结果, 前后之间是“前因后果”关系, 故此处应用连词so。

59. to burn/burning　点拨: begin to do/doing sth. 开始做某事, 是固定搭配。故填动词不定式to burn或动名词burning。

60. as　点拨: 本句是“as ＋ 形容词或副词原级 ＋ as”结构, 意为“和……一样”, 表比较。故填as。

61. down　点拨: up and down上上下下, 是固定搭配。故填副词down。

62. heads　点拨: 由前面的形容词性物主代词their可知, 此处指的是“他们的头”, 故填复数名词heads。

63. himself　点拨: say to oneself“自言自语”, 是固定搭配。主语The old man是第三人称单数, 故此处应填反身代词himself。

64. spent　点拨: 由前面的助动词have可知, 本句是现在完成时态, 故此处应填动词spend的过去分词spent。

65. from　点拨: learn from sb. “向某人学习”, 是固定搭配。故填介词from。

六、范文:

The thing I like best is a doll. I have had it for 5 years.

My doll is a dog with big black eyes and curly white hair. I got it from my aunt on my 5th birthday. Since then it has been always on my bed. I can't go to sleep without kissing it. When I went to a boarding school, I took it with me. My roommates used to laugh at me about it, but I still kept it on my bed.

I love it so much because it gives me happiness whenever I feel down.
