II.Reading Comprehension（共15小题；每小题2分 共30分）
Choose the best answer according to the passage you read
（A）
Last year I had a trip with my friend, Nancy. The weather was cloudy except for one night. Nancy and I sat in the field and we felt relaxed. We talked about the fantastic trip, looking at the stars. “It’s a pity we don’t know which stars we’re looking at, Jenny,” said Nancy. “I know some of them,” I answered. Nancy felt surprised when I finally finished telling her all the names I knew.
My interest in stars began when I was eight. My aunt took me to a planetarium(天文馆). A guide showed us the groups of stars and told us stories about how they got their names. The stories were wonderful.
Everyone knows we can see the stars better when it’s not cloudy, but lots of people don’t realize that a bright moon also stops us seeing very much. I always look for the Plough(北斗星), because once I see that, I can find the North Star and other stars.
I wanted to learn more about the stars, so I took a course at the club. There are so many lights in the city that we have to go into the countryside to see any stars. I’m planning to make videos about stars in the countryside. I’ll post them online for everyone to watch. My great dream is to be an astronaut and I wish I could have a space travel.
21. What is Jenny planning to do
A. Have a space travel. B. Take courses online.
C. Make videos about stars. D. Give a talk about names.
22. How did Nancy feel after Jenny told her the names of stars
A. Relaxed. B. Surprised. C. Angry. D. Wonderful.
23. Which of the following would Jenny probably agree with
A. Students should move to the countryside.
B. Children’s favourite hobby is to write stories.
C. The best place to watch stars is the city center.
D. A bright moon may stop people seeing very much.
（B）
An old man kept a sparrow（麻雀）and he really liked it. But one day the bird flew away. The old man was sad and went out to look for it everywhere, from parks to mountains. At last, he met the bird on West Hill.
The old man said excitedly, “Will you please go home with me, my bird ” Though the bird was also happy to see the old man, it shook its head.
“Take me to your home and let me see how you live.” the old man said. The bird led the old man to its new home. And he found it lived well with many other birds. So he decided to go back.
Before he was leaving, the bird gave him a basket.
When he returned home, he told his wife what had happened. She opened the basket and saw a lot of gold. The old woman was very greedy and she wanted to get more baskets. So she set out for the sparrow’s home.
“Hello, sparrow. I miss you very much, ” cried the woman falsely（虚伪地）. Actually, she used to treat the bird badly. The bird said nothing. It gave her two baskets, a light one and a heavy one. The bird asked her to choose one and she could only open it after she reached home.
Of course, she chose the heavy one and took it home with great difficulty. However, when she opened the basket, she found it was full of stones!
24. Why did the old man go back home alone when he found the sparrow
A. Because he found the bird lived well. B. Because the bird didn’t like him.
C. Because the bird gave him much gold. D. Because the wife stopped him taking it home.

C. didn’t treat the bird as kindly as her husband D. went to the bird’ new home with her husband
27. What does the story mainly want to tell us

All aboard! Let’s take a ride on the world’s highest railway—the Qinghai-Tibet Railway（青藏铁路）. Sit back and enjoy the journey. Get ready for the trip of a lifetime.
We’re leaving Qinghai Station. The scenery along the way is some of the wildest in all of China. Keep your eyes open as we race through this beautiful land. You might see a rare Tibetan antelope（藏羚羊）from your window.
Before we begin our journey, let’s learn about this amazing railway. It’s truly one of the great engineering wonders of the 21st century. When it was completed on July 1, 2006, the Tibet Railway set nine world records, including the world’s highest railway at 5,072 metres above sea level, the world’s highest tunnel（隧道）at 4,905 metres, and the longest tunnel ever built on permafrost（冻土）.
As we travel higher, the air gets thinner and thinner. Soon there will only be 50 to 60 percent of the oxygen which we are used to breathing. But don’t be afraid. Each rail car has two separate oxygen systems. One system spreads oxygen throughout the train at all times. And each passenger can also get a personal oxygen mask just like those used in planes.
Here are a few more things to think about as our train leaves the station. The designers solved three main challenges when building this great railway. First, the high altitude（海拔）made the task difficult because there was no enough oxygen. Second, much of the railway runs across permafrost, a type of ground that keeps changing as the weather warms and cools. Finally, the railway goes through some of the most sensitive ecology（敏感的生态环境）in China. Great care was necessary to make sure of the smallest possible influence on nature.
All three challenges were met, making our trip possible. All aboard! The train to Tibet is leaving in fifteen minutes.
28. Where are the passengers
A. On a bus. B. On a train. C. On a ship. D. On a plane.
29. How does the text show the railway is amazing in paragraph 3
A. By telling a story. B. By using a designer’s words.
C. By introducing its world records. D. By comparing the present with the past.
30 How many oxygen systems are there in each rail car
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
31. Which of the following increased the difficulty of building the railway
A. The changing ground. B. The polluted air. C. The dangerous animals. D. The hot weather.
(D)
Each of us has dreams and goals for our future. What makes us study and progress each day is closely connected with our personal dreams and goals.
But sometimes even if you have dreams and goals, you still end up with nothing. What separates successful people from the dreamers is the persistent action. When you learn your lessons in school, you must work hard and not give up. You may find some of your lessons very hard. Try and keep trying, and you’ll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with. If you have a hard lesson today, try your best to learn it well and then you will be prepared for a harder on tomorrow.
This is the famous formula for success:
Dream＞Believe＞Achieve
Most people have what they want (Dream) and think they can realize their dreams (Believe). And then they do nothing. They just imagine their dreams can come true. When they are tired waiting and lose a lot, they get bored. They say angrily how terrible their life is.
I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formula:
Dream＞Believe＞Act＞Achieve
For me, act is the most important thing for success. If you say, “I can’t do it.” and give up, you can never do anything valuable. However, “I’ll try” creates wonders. Let’s remember that there will be obstacles in our life, and we must face them bravely and solve them. Success is not something that falls down from the sky. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.
Please remember: Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.
32. What does the underlined word “persistent” mean
A. 舍近求远的 B. 锲而不舍的 C. 直截了当的 D. 实事求是的
33. What does the writer add to the famous formula
A. Act B. Achieve C. Connect D. Create
34. Why does the writer use the formula “Dream＞Believe＞Act＞Achieve”
A. To support his idea. B. to ask reader to explains it.
C. To show what his goals are. D. To compare it with a bridge.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Doing something valuable. B. Realizing dreams with persistent action
C. Studying hard and make progress D. Separating successful people from dreamers

Every year, millions of birds are killed or hurt when they fly into buildings. Why does this happen ___36___ Birds are flying into windows and tall buildings that are all covered by glass.
Many birds fly from one place to another. Most of the time, they live in the wild, such as forests and wetlands. ___37___ They might see small trees and flowers inside a window and want to rest on these plants. The birds do not know there is glass between them and the plants. ___38___
Some birds fly at night. They use the moon and stars to help guide them in the right direction. Tall buildings with lights on at night can confuse (迷惑) the birds. ___39___ The birds see the light, but they cannot tell that the light is coming from inside a building. They fly toward the light and crash into a building. On many mornings, there might be several dead birds lying on the ground.
___40___ Many office buildings now turn off their lights at night. This helps reduce the number of birds that fly into buildings and it also helps save energy.

IV. Close Test(共10小题, 每小题1分, 共10分)

These bad emotions don’t do anything good for us ___23___. So you might ask yourself-is it possible to put down this heavy burden (负担) and give yourself a ___24___ It is quite possible. Start by actually looking at your feelings. How do they get inside of us Why do we carry them for so long instead of putting them down Can we live ___25___ them
By thinking about our bad emotions, we can find healthy ways to ___26___ them. Unhealthy behaviors are not the way to do this. They provide no relief. Instead, there are better ways to handle them. One of the best ways is forgiveness (原谅).
Forgiveness is a powerful tool. We should forgive ___27___ first. We shouldn’t keep bad emotions inside. We must also forgive others who have made us guilty or angry. This is not always easy. But ___28___ we learn to forgive ourselves, it becomes easier to forgive others as well.

VI. Reading Expression (共5小题, 每小题2分, 共10分)
Many Chinese students are good at English grammar, but their spoken English is so poor that they can't speak in class or have a talk with others. There may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
First, they fail to express themselves clearly because of a limited(有限的) vocabulary. The useful way is to enlarge their vocabulary. However, you can still communicate with others with a limited vocabulary, if you are active. Others will understand you with the help of your body language.
Second, they are worried about making mistakes. Because they are shy and nervous, sometimes they may make mistakes easily. Yet we should know what we aim at is FLUENCE(流利) not ACCURACY(精确) when speaking. So we should speak as quickly and well as we can, even though sometimes we may use a wrong word or tense(时态), but it doesn't matter because others will still understand you.
The third reason is that they don't pay enough attention to listening to what others are saying.So while you are speaking, you can't find the suitable topic or words to say. You have one mouth but two ears! What you hear is necessary for you to start speaking.
Fourth, most Chinese students are passive(被动的) language learners. They just sit there waiting for speaking chances, and don't actively look for chances to improve their spoken English. All they can get is to accept the fact that their English remains poor.
So please be active from now on, try to catch every chance to speak wherever you go.
61._____many Chinese students are good at English grammar, they can't speak in class or have a talk with others______ their spoken English is poor.
62.If students have a wide vocabulary, they will ______themselves clearly. However, they will be______ by others with their body language even if they have a limited vocabulary.
63.Students needn't______ about making mistakes. It doesn't matter that they
may use wrong words or tenses when speaking, what matters is that they should speak quickly and well_______.
64.They should pay attention to listening to others'______. And it is necessary for you to use _______you hear to start speaking.
65. Few Chinese students are active to learn languages in class. They'd better look for chances to improve their spoken English_______ _______ sitting there waiting for speaking chances.
