After Gulliver lived in Lilliput for some time, the king and Lilliputians began to trust him. At first, the little people were afraid of this “Man-Mountain”, but later they found that Gulliver was gentle and friendly. Gulliver also tried to follow their rules carefully. He was big and strong, but he never used his power to hurt others.
One morning, the king came to Gulliver with a worried look. He told Gulliver that Lilliput was in great danger. Another country called Blefuscu was preparing to attack them. Its ships were waiting near the coast, and the soldiers might arrive soon. Lilliputians were too small and weak to stop such a large fleet (舰队) by themselves.
Gulliver listened carefully. He wanted to help Lilliput, but he did not want to kill anyone. After thinking for a while, he came up with a clever plan. He asked the king for some strong ropes and hooks. Then he walked slowly into the sea. The water was very deep for the little people, but it only reached Gulliver’s chest.
When Gulliver got near the enemy ships (敌船), the soldiers were frightened. Some of them were so scared that they shot arrows at his face and hands. The arrows hurt a little, but Gulliver stayed calm. He tied the ropes to the ships one by one and pulled them across the sea. It was hard work, but Gulliver did not give up.
Before long, he brought all the enemy ships back to Lilliput. When the people saw the ships, they shouted with joy. The king was very pleased and thanked Gulliver again and again.
However, Gulliver did not feel proud. He was glad that he had helped Lilliput without hurting many people. From this experience, he learned an important lesson: real strength is not about hurting others. Sometimes, it means using one’s power wisely and kindly.
— Adapted from Gulliver’s Travels

In 1969, a U.S. environmentalist named Gaylord Nelson had an idea. He was worried about pollution, oil leaks (泄漏), and the loss of wild places. He suggested a special day for people to talk about environmental problems and help more people understand them. As a result, the first Earth Day was held on April 22, 1970.
Today, it is celebrated on April 22 every year by over one billion people. It is a day to learn about the natural world, understand the environmental problems, and take action to protect the Earth. Here are some simple ways to take part and encourage others to do the same.
First of all, let’s start at home. Instead of driving cars, it’s better to ride a bike or walk to your destination (目的地) as much as possible. Also, try to reduce the amount of waste by asking your family members to use reusable bottles, lunch boxes and shopping bags. Remember to recycle cans, paper, batteries, and cardboard boxes instead of throwing them away.
Growing green plants is another good way to care for the earth. Their flowers and fruits provide food for local wildlife, while their branches and leaves offer shelter and shade. Some families also grow vegetables in their gardens, which helps reduce pollution because the food does not need to travel far.
Finally, many people can take part in special activities such as beach cleanups, nature walks and environmental talks. These activities encourage more people to care about the planet and work together to protect it.
Gaylord Nelson’s simple idea still inspires (激励) people today. Whether you plant a tree, recycle, or join a cleanup, you are carrying on the spirit of the first Earth Day.
38. When was the first Earth Day held
A．In 1969.
B．In 1970.
C．In 1979.
D．In 2000.
39. Which of the following is a good way to cut down waste
A．Drive cars every day.
B．Use reusable shopping bags.
C．Throw paper into rubbish bins directly.
D．Buy lots of plastic bottles.
40. Which picture shows the structure of the passage (①=Paragraph 1,…)
41. What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To tell the story of Gaylord Nelson.
B．To give some advice on how to grow plants.
C．To make a list of different Earth Day activities.
D．To call on people to take action to protect the Earth.
D
Do good manners still matter (重要) today Some people believe good manners are still important in modern life. However, others think they are old-fashioned and unnecessary.
Good manners are rules about how people should behave well around others. A researcher once called them “traffic lights for life”. Just as traffic lights help cars move safely, good manners help people get along with one another in daily life.
However, good manners are not always the same everywhere. In some countries, making sounds while eating may show that people enjoy the meal, but in others, it is considered rude. Manners also change over time. About 100 years ago, children in some places were expected to stay quiet when adults were talking. Today, young people are encouraged to share their ideas at school and in society.
Kind words and polite behaviour cost nothing, but they can make the world warmer. Manners can also help keep people healthy. For example, covering your mouth when you cough and keeping dirty feet off seats are not only polite, but also useful in stopping the spread of germs (细菌传播).
Still, some people do not agree. They say that some manners are just old rules. For example, lots of manners, such as not putting elbows (手肘) on tables, do not make sense and are out of date. They are no more needed now. They believe people should be honest and behave naturally, as long as they are kind to others.
In fact, manners do not have to stay the same forever. They can change with time and culture. But I think their real purpose should not change: to make people feel respected, safe and comfortable. That is why good manners still matter in modern life.
42. What can good manners help people do in daily life in Paragraph 2
A．Share ideas with others. B．Bring benefits to health.
C．Travel fast on busy roads. D．Get along with one another.
43. The writer mentions eating sounds and children speaking in Paragraph 3 to show.
A．manners are always the same.
B．children never speak before adults.
C．manners change with countries and time.
D．table manners are more important than others.
44. Which sentence can be put in the empty box in Paragraph 4
A．Good manners are useful in many ways.
B．Good manners can be learned from books.
C．Some manners are difficult for young people to follow.
D．Some manners have different meanings in different countries.
45. What is the best title for the passage
A．Good Manners Still Matter B．Manners Never Change
C．Manners Around the World D．Old Rules in Modern Life

五、任务型阅读
More than 2,000 years ago, Chinese people began to use the wind power. At that time, wind could be used to move water and sail boats.
Today, wind power is mainly used to make electricity. But how does it work Wind makes windmills spin (旋转). When the windmills spin, they can make electricity. Then people can use the electricity in homes, schools and factories.
Wind power is becoming more and more popular for two reasons. First of all, it’s clean. Windmills don’t pollute the environment at all. Also, wind power is cheap, and it’s getting even cheaper.
However, windmills are facing some real problems. One problem is that many people think windmills are very ugly because they are often built in beautiful places. Second, wind doesn’t blow all the time, so we can’t use wind power all the time. Finally, windmills are noisy.
Even so, wind power is becoming more and more common around the world. Today, more than 80 countries use wind power. About 2.5% of the world’s power comes from the wind. For some countries, that number is larger. For example, wind power gives Denmark more than 25% of its electricity. This shows that wind power is playing an important role in the modern world.
根据短文内容，回答问题（每题答案不超过10个词）。
56. When did Chinese people start to use wind power
____________________________________
57. What is wind power mainly used for now
____________________________________
58. Why does wind power get popular (Write two reasons)

59. How many problems do windmills have

60. What percentage of Denmark’s electricity comes from wind power

六、短文填空
Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history Many people would say: Confucius. He was born o___61___ 2,000 years ago, but people still remember him nowadays.
Confucius lived in the kingdom of Lu, part of today’s Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He s___62___ from the sadness because of his father’s death and he had to work to help his mother. But young Confucius didn’t give up s___63___ knowledge and skills. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.
Later, he became a teacher and developed the private (私人的) school. At that time, only children from r___64___ families could go to school, and the school was set up by the government. However, Confucius believed e___65___ should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.
Today, people learn from Confucius and f___66___ his steps. He told us that everyone has something worthy to learn and to teach. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good q___67___ and follow them. I take their bad qualities and change them in myself.” He also told us, “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的). All t___68___ but no study makes people lazy.”
Confucius is b___69___ a great teacher and a famous thinker with wise ideas about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. “A kind person should care for others. You should be s___70___ with yourself, but be kind to others,” he said.
In short, the greatness of Confucius lies in his simple but powerful message: be kind, be respectful, and never stop learning.
