But my sisters and I looked forward to seeing Papaji and visiting his farm.When we got to the farm it was the end of a school year and summer started. On the farm, we could do what we liked. We could play with the animals all day. When we were hungry, we went back to Bibiji, our grandmother. Shecooked over a wood fire in the kitchen. We blew on the wood to make the fire rage, hoping it would help the food cook faster. Sometimes we played hide-and-seek in the storeroom, or ran through the field like horses.But the summer I turned nine was different. One morning I heard clickety-clack, clickety-clack, ping. I searched carefully for the sound: Papaji in his study, typing a letter. I tried to see it better, but fell through the door. I stood up, looked at the floor, red in the face, hoping his words would be short. Papaji's eyes glinted（闪光）and didn't say anything. Then the rest of the summer I heard the sounds of typewriter（打字机）, dreaming of touching the beautiful yellow keys.After going home, I spent the year thinking of ways to let me use the typewriter when I gotback to his house. But the next summer, I still stood beside him as he typed, hoping he would let me try it.On going back home that year, I got a box from the post office. When I opened it, it was the typewriter! Papaji let me use it at last. My serious grandfather wasn't a cold-hearted man after all34. When did my sisters and I visit Papaji's farm?A. In spring.B. In summer.C. In autumn.D. In winter.35. What does the underlined word "rage"in Paragraph 2 mean?A. biggerB. smallerC. fartherD. nearer36. What couldn't we do on Papaji's farm?A. Play with the animals.B. Play hide-and-seek.C. Go horse riding.D. Run in the field.37. What's the best title of the passage?A. Papaji's farmB. Papaji and BibijiC. Papaji's typewriterD. Summer with PapajiDDo you know about bio-plastic（生物塑料）？It is a kind of plastic. but it is not the same as normal plastic. Normal plastic is made from chemical materials and takes a very long time to degrade（降解）. But bio-plastic is good for the environment. it is made by using bacteria（细菌）to process（加工）natural sources like vegetable oils, corn or sugar. It can degrade more easily.But there is a problem with bio-plastic. The "food" that bacteria eat is what we eat. This means that bacteria are competing against humans for the same resources.Now scientists have found a new way to make bio-plastic－using two kinds of bacteria and sunlight. According to Newsweek.One of the bacteria can use sunlight to produce sugar. The other land eats the sugar and produces polymers(聚合物）. Polymers are used to create bio-plastics. The way the bacteria store polymers is similar as humans store fats.The new way to produce bio-plastic has many advantages. It is 20 times faster than the normal way we produce bio-plastic. Moreover, using these two bacteria saves resources.The next problem scientists face is that they want to put their tab research into real-world practice. By doing this, bio-plastic made with these two bacteria can be widely produced in the future.38. According to the passage, which is TRUE about bio-plastic?A. It is bad for the environment.B. It's made from chemical materials.C. It is a new kind of bacteria.D. It can degrade more easily.39. What does the phrase "The food" underlined refer to?A. Normal plastic.B. Normal bacteria.C. Salty waters.D. Natural sources.40. From the passage, which is the correct order to make bio-plastic?a. eating the sugarb. creating bio-plasticsc. producing polymersd. using sunlight to produce sugarA. a-d-c-bB. a-d-b-cC. d-a-c-bD. d-c-a-b41. What's the main idea of the passage?A. A new kind of plastic.B. A new way to produce bio-plastic.C. A way to store fatsD. A way to produce two kinds of bacteria.第二部分非选择题词汇运用根据句意, 用括号中所给的汉语提示或单词的适当形式填空, 使句意完整, 每空一词.42. If the sun stops _________ its light, one smile from you will make my world bright.（照耀）.43.

So we must learn how to protect ourselves better. Here are some tips for keeping safety in mind every day.When we're on our way home or to school . Wait for the green traffic light, and look left and right before we cross the road. We'd better wear bright-color clothes, so the drivers can see us easily. Don't believe the people we don't know in the street.When we're in the school activity . When students around us begin to push each other, it's necessary for us to stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves. If we fall down in a moving crowd, use our hands to cover the head. Lean to one side, curl up（蜷缩）our body and bend（使弯曲）the legs.When we meet a fire. Stay calm. Leave the classroom quickly with the help of the teachers. Smoke can be more dangerous than fire, so we should use a piece of wet cloth to cover our mouth and nose. What will we do if the clothes burn? Remember not to run! Drop and fall to the ground.Then roll! It will make the fire go out.When we eat . Wash fruits carefully before eating them. Check the expiration dates（保质期）on the packages of the snacks, and if it looks or smells bad, don't eat it.缺词填空根据短文内容及首字母提示, 在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整, 每空一词.Scott, the new master, walked slowly towards White Fang, holding a piece of m___62___.

When people invite someone to their homes, they often say: “Would you like to come for dinner on Saturday?” Answers are: “Thanks. We’d love to. What time?” or “I’m sorry. We’d love to but we have tickets for the concert.” However, it is not polite to say “No, we wouldn’t”!Sometimes, the British use expressions that sound like invitations. For example: “You must come over for a drink sometime.” or “Let’s go out for a m eal one of these days.” These are usually just polite ways of ending a talk. They are not real invitations because they don’t mention an exact time or day. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly and the answers are: “Yes, that would be nice.” or “OK, yes, thanks.” So next time, you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?31．It’s always necessary for ______ to visit each other’s houses with an invitation.A. close friendsB. family membersC. neighboursD. new friends32．It is not polite to answer the real invitation by saying “_________”A.

The following can help you:Small goals work well Remember a small goal is easier to reach than a bigger one. So you’d better make a small goal each time. That’s helpful to you.Good habits help you much. It usually takes time for you to develop a habit—maybe a few months, for example, getting up half an hour earlier to exercise. Why? That’s because your brain needs enough time to get used to the habit. Repeat your goals. Say your goals out before a mirror loudly in the morning every day. In this way, you can remember what you want and what you are working for. Also, writing your goals down also works. It will train your brain to accept your goals.Make changes only for yourself. You have to reach a goal just because you want it, not because any others, like a girlfriend, boyfriend, coach, parent or someone else, want you to do. It will be more difficult to keep active in reaching a goal for any others.Being always lazy will make you fail. It may take a few tries b efore you reach a goal. But that’s OK –it’s normal to give up a few times when trying to reach a goal. But you will fail if you are always lazy. Don’t give up or you will lose a chance to change yourself in your life. And maybe it will be a great pity for you in your own life.六、词汇运用根据句意和汉语注释，写出正确的单词.（每空限一词）56.

When choosing seats, choosing a seat near the front of the plane will have a smoother ride. Soret says, “The front part of the plane is usually the most comfortable. You hardly feel the turbulence(骚乱) if it is not very serious .” Soret also says the front part of the plane is the q uietest.Taking an aisle seat（靠走道座位）is also a good choice. Soret says the aisle seats have bigger leg room. But sitting on the aisle comes with the duty of getting up when fellow passengers in the row have to use the bathroom.

A. a; the B. the; a C. the; anD. the; the 【答案】C【解析】【详解】句意：——你听说了江堰附近的那场大火吗？——是的，那里也发生了一起事故.考查冠词用法.根据句意“——你听说了江堰附近的那场大火吗？——是的，那里也发生了一起事故.”第一个空，表示特指江堰附近的那场大火，所以应用定冠词the；第二个空，表示泛指一场事故，而且accident的发音是以元音音素开头的，所以用不定冠词an修饰；故答案选C.【点睛】本题考查冠词用法.冠词分为定冠词、不定冠词和零冠词.不定冠词包括a和an ，表示泛指某人或某物，a用于辅音音素开头的单词前面；an用于元音音素开头的单词前面.the是定冠词，表示特指某个（些）人或者物，或者在文中再次提到该事物时；零冠词用于一些特殊的结构中.本题根据题干可知第一个空，表示特指，所以应用定冠词the；第二个空，表示泛指，而且accident的发音是以元音音素开头的，所以用不定冠词an修饰；故答案选C.2. You’d better all the main language points in your note book so that you can go through them after class.A. turn downB. write downC. cut downD. come down【答案】B【解析】【详解】句意：你最好把所有主要的语言要点都记在笔记本上，以便你可以在课后复习.考查动词短语.A. turn down关小、调低；B. write down记下、写下；C. cut down砍倒；D. come down下落.根据You’d better all the main language points in your note book so that you can go through them after class.可知句意为“你最好把所有主要的语言要点都记在笔记本上，以便你可以在课后复习.”所以设空处应填入write down记下、写下；had better“最好”，可视其为情态动词，后接动词原形；故答案选B.3. —Oh, you didn’t carry an umbrella with you! Didn’t you listen to the weather report?— . But it when I left my home.A. Yes; didn’t rainB. No; didn’t rainC. Yes; wasn’t rainingD. No; was raining【答案】C【解析】【详解】句意：——哦，你没带雨伞！你没听天气预报吗？——不，我听了，但是我离开家的时候没有下雨.考查否定一般疑问句和过去进行时.第一个空，由but可知，此处句意是“不，我听了.”根据上文问句Didn’t you listen to the weather report?是否定一般疑问句，其回答应是Yes译成“不”，No译成“是”，所以这里应填Yes；第二个空，根据when引导的一般过去时的时间状语从句推断主句描述的是过去某个时间正在发生的动作，故用过去进行时态，它的构成为：主语+was/were+V-ing形式，主语it是第三人称单数形式，be动词应该用was；根据you didn't carry an umbrella with you可以判断那时候没有下雨，所以用否定形式wasn’t；故答案选C.4. — You hurt your right leg? How did that happen?— Bad luck! I was walking along the road an e-bike hit me from behind.A. whileB. asC. whenD. before【答案】C【解析】【详解】句意：——你的右腿受伤了？是怎么发生的？——倒霉！我正走在路上，一辆电动自行车从后面撞到我.考查连词辨析.A. while当…时候，通常与延续性动词连用，且从句和主句的动作同时发生，两句都用过去进行时；B. as因为；C. when当…时候，接延续性动词和短暂性动词，且主句用过去进行时，从句应用一般过去时；D. before在…之前.根据I was walking along the road an e-bike hit me from behind.可知句意为“我正走在路上，一辆电动自行车从后面撞到我.”hit是短暂性动词，而且主句用过去进行时，从句用一般过去时，所以应用when引导，故答案选C.5. —What a beautiful box! What’s in it, Mum?—I’m not sure. It be a birthday present from your uncle.A. mustB. needC. mayD. should【答案】C【解析】【详解】句意：——多漂亮的盒子啊！里面有什么，妈妈？——我不确定.它可能是你叔叔送的生日礼物.考查情态动词.A. must必须，表示一种非常肯定的推测；B. need需要；C. may可能，表示不确定的推测；D. should应该.根据I’m not sure.可知此处表示“不确定的推测”，may意为“可能”，但是这种可能性不是很大，符合语境；故答案选C.6. —Excuse me! May I use your computer now?—________I'm typing an important letter.A. Will you?B. I hope so.C. Why not?D. I'm afraid not.【答案】D【解析】试题分析：句意：-打扰一下，我可以使用你的电脑吗？-恐怕不行，我正在打印一封重要的信.从后面正在打印重要信件看，前面应该是拒绝的.故选D.考点：考查交际用语.7. —I’m really sorry to know that people fish too often in this area.—Yes. This means some rare birds will have food.A. fewer and fewerB. less and lessC. bigger and biggerD. more and more【答案】B【解析】【详解】句意：——我很遗憾地知道人们在这个地区捕鱼太频繁了.——是.这意味着一些稀有鸟类的食物会越来越少.考查形容词的比较级.比较级+and+比较级，表示“越来越….”，A. fewer and fewer越来越少，修饰可数名词；B. less and less越来越少，修饰不可数名词；C. bigger and bigger越来越大；D. more and more 越来越多.根据上文I’m really sorry to know that people fish too often in this area.可知此处句意为“是.这意味着一些稀有鸟类的食物会越来越少.”food“食物”是不可数名词，需要用less来修饰；故答案选B.8. — Mr. Wu, would you please speak a little more ?—I’m sorry! I thought you could follow me.A. quicklyB. quietlyC. softlyD. slowly【答案】D【解析】【详解】句意：——吴先生，请你说得慢一点好吗？——对不起，我以为你可以跟上我.考查副词辨析.A. quickly迅速地；B. quietly安静；C. softly温和地；D. slowly慢慢地.根据下文I’m sorry! I thought you could follow me.可知上文的意思是说请你说得慢一点好吗？结合选项可知D选项符合题意，故答案选D.9. —Would you mind if I turn on the radio? —________. The baby is sleeping in the next room.A. No, I don’t mindB. Not at allC. Better notD. That’s all right【答案】C【解析】【分析】【详解】句意：——你介意我开收音机吗?——最好不要.小婴儿正在隔壁房间睡觉.考查日常交际用语的用法.A. No, I don’t mind不，不介意；B. Not at all一点也不；C. Better not最好不要；D.

I’m afraid so.C. I don’t think so.D. That’s good enough.【答案】B【解析】【详解】句意：——好大的雨啊，会持续很久吗？——恐怕是这样的，我们现在进入雨季了.考查情景交际.A. Certainly not.当然不是；B. I’m afraid so.恐怕是这样的；C. I don’t think so.我不这样认为；D. That’s good enough.那是足够好的.根据下文We’re getting into the rainy season now.我们现在已经进入雨季了.推知上句句意“恐怕是那样”，符合语境，故答案选B.11. —It was raining heavily last night. But I didn’t know it at all.— Yes, the rain was really hard. When I up, I could hear the rain beating against the window.A. wokeB. is wakingC. wakeD. was waking【答案】A【解析】【详解】句意：——昨晚雨下得很大，但我一点也不知道.——是的，雨真的很大.当我醒来时，我能听到雨点敲打窗户的声音.考查一般过去时.A. woke一般过去时；B. is waking现在进行时；C. wake一般过去时；D. was waking过去进行时.由上文的last night可知动作发生在过去，所以时态应用一般过去时，结合选项可知A选项符合题意，故答案选A.12. — They say you went bird watching last Sunday. How many cranes did you see on the lake?— . They all flew to the south last month.A. NothingB. NobodyC. No oneD. None【答案】D【解析】【详解】句意：——他们说你上周日去赏鸟了.你在湖面上看到多少只鹤？——一个也没有，上个月它们都飞往南方了.考查不定代词.A.

None，指三者或三者以上没有一个，强调数量，可与of连用，既可以指人也可以指物；本题根据句意可知是没有看到一只鹤，所以none符合题意，故答案选D.13. — How was your visit to South Hill?— It was a(an) one. The weather was cold and I had a bad cold after the trip.A. happyB. wonderfulC. dangerousD. awful【答案】D【解析】【详解】句意：——你的南山之行怎么样？——那是一场糟糕的旅行，天气很冷，旅行后我得了重感冒.考查形容词辨析.A. happy高兴的；B. wonderful极好的；C. dangerous危险的；D. awful糟糕的、极坏的.根据后面的The weather was cold and I had a bad cold after the trip.可知应是一场糟糕的旅行，结合选项可知D选项符合题意，故答案选D.14. —Do you know if it will snow tomorrow?

The sentence structure of “The good news made all of us very excited.” is .A. S+V+OB. S+V+IO+DOC. S+V+PD. S+V+DO+OC【答案】D【解析】【详解】句意：这个句子“这个好消息使我们所有人感到兴奋.”的结构是S+V+DO+OC.考查句子结构.A. S+V+O（主+谓+宾）；B.
