Indeed doctors say it is the best exercise, because in swimming all the muscles of the body are used.Secondly, swimming gives great pleasure. How nice it is, on a hot dusty day in summer, to takeoff one's clothes and dive into the cool water of a rive or the sea, and to swim and float until one feels enough.Thirdly, swimming may sometimes mean all the different between life and death, we never know when we may be in danger from water. We got on a voyage, and the ship in wrecked; we go for a pleasure sail on a lake and the boat turns over; we slip as we are walking along the bank of a river, and half in the water. If we can swim, we have chance for saving our own lives, but if we cannot swim, we are pretty certain to be drowned. So for our own safety, we should learn to swim.Lastly, if we can swim, we may be able to save other people from drowning. How sad it is to see a friend drowning before our eyes while we cannot help just because we cannot swim.(1)Who says that swimming is the best exercise? _________.A . FarmersB . DentistsC .

(8分)阅读理解Hundreds of foreigners got together in a small neighborhood in Qingdao on the afternoon of April 20 because of the Neighbor Day, an 18-day event celebrated across Qingdao. They learned the arts of Chinese handwriting, dumpling making, paper cutting, and discovered the culture of Chinese family trees.The festival started 12 years ago after a 10-year-old girl called Sun Ruihan was refused when paying a New Year's visit to her neighbor. Upset by this incident, she wrote to the Shibei district government of Qingdao, suggesting that they should introduce a "Neighbor Day" to encourage greater spirit.As the birthplace of the festival, Shibei hosted the opening ceremony of this year's Neighbor Day on April 19. With the theme of" ▲ ", people from across the city got together to share theirhomemade food and discuss the family stories. They also set up a mobile neighbors' library to share books.Sarah from the United States said she had a great time with her neighbors as she experienced the art of Chinese paper cutting for the first time. Masha from Russia, who is studying Chinese at the Ocean University of China, described the event as a great chance to make friends with her Chinese neighbors and learn about the local culture with them. She tried her best at Chinese handwriting and also had great fun learning how to make dumplings. "I love eating dumplings but I never knew how to make them before, "she said." Now I can come to my neighbors' homes and learn in their kitchens."Neighbor Day grew from the needs of the people.

(8分) As Danny put his lunch tray onto the cafeteria table, milk spilled all over his sandwich. He sat down, hung his head forward, looking at the food in front of him. Frowning, he began peeling the soggy milk-soaked bread (浸透牛奶的) from his sandwich. “This is the worst thing I've ever done!” he said, “It's not that bad,” said his friend Elena, who was sitting across from him. “Just get another sandwich.”“Sandwich? What sandwich? I am talking about the talent contest. It's only two weeks away and I don't know what I'm doing! Everybody will lau gh at me. There's no way to avoid it!”“Don't be so negative, Danny,” said Elena as she rolled her eyes. “You're going to be great, You're very capable. You have the skills to do just about anything.”Danny moved his lunch tray to the side and rested his head on the table.“Sit up Danny,” ordered Elena, “I have an idea. Let's brainstorm a list of things you could do. We'll divide the list into categories or groups. Let's start with music. You play the piano, right?”“I stopped taking lessons in the third grade,” said Danny.“What about singing a song?” suggested Elena.Danny shook his head no. “Let's move on to another category.”“What about performing magic tricks?”asked Elena, as she twisted thin strands of hair around her finger.“I don't know how to play magic tricks!”Danny almost shouted. “Elena, how did I get myself into this huge mess?”“Stop being so…” Elena paused, “That's it, DRAMATIC!”Elena shouted excitedly. “You could do a dramatic reading. You definitely have the talent for it. Mrs. Pace always calls on you to read aloud in class. You could read a play aloud. Maybe you could even get extra credit from Mrs. Pace. She rewards students with points for doing extra reading work.”Danny thought for a minute. Then he smiled. “Elena,” Danny said, “You are a great friend!”Elena smiled back. “I just want to make sure you are a bright, shiny star when you step out on stage.”(1)Elena and Danny were talking ______.A . in the cafeteriaB . in the classroomC . in a theatreD . at home(2)Danny was unhappy because of ______.A . the spilled milkB . her friend ElenaC . the talent contestD . the milk-soaked bread(3)With the help of Elena, Danny finally decided to ______.A . play the pianoB . sing a songC . perform magic tricksD . do a dramatic reading(4)The title for the story is most likely to be ______.A .

DNA is the reason that we look like our parents, because we get some of their DNA to make our own.People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In 1860, Mr. Mendel discovered why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things called “genes(基因)” in our body. In 1953, two scientists, Watson and Crick, found out that those small parts are really messages. They're written in the DNA with a special language.In 1961, another two scientists found the first “word”that could understand in that language.It shows how DNA tells the cell (细胞) to build its parts. So far, scientists have found all the words in the DNA map, but we still do not unde rstand what they all do. By understanding what just one “word”means, we can help to save people from several illnesses. So the more we understand. The more doctors will be able to do.Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine and help sick people. Other people worry that when we learn more “words”and find out more information, we will use it in the wrong way, just to make people more attractive(有吸引力的) , or stop sick people getting jobs.(1)When did Mr. Mendel discover why we look the same as other people in our family?A . In 2000.B . In 1961.C . In 1953.D . In 1860.(2)How can we help sick people if we understand more “words” in the DNA map?A . Make better medicine.B . Make them get jobsC . Make maps for them.D . Make them attractive.(3)Which one is NOT true according to the article?A . We look like our parents because of “genes”in our bodyB . We have understood what all the words in the DNA map do.C . DNA is the whole “map”of the human bodyD . DNA tells the cell to build its parts.四、用单词的正确形式完成句子 (共1题;共10分)15. (10分)根据旬意,从方框中选择恰当的单词填空,有的需要变换形式(2)May I take your order?

Many Chinese people have cars now, but most Chinese people still like to ride bikes. Do you know why?We all know that the bike can't go quickly, but it's easy for people to buy and ride it. As for the car, it needs too much money.Most Americans live far from the center of cities or their working places. So they need cars to go shopping or go to work every day. Most Chinese people live near their working places, so they don't need cars to go to work. And it's good for the environment(环境) if people stop driving. So there is a day called “No-Car Day” on September 22nd every y ear.For me, I like to go to school by bike. It is easy and healthy.(1)Do most Chinese people need to drive cars?(2)When is “No-Car Day” every year?(3)What two things does the passage(文章) talk about?(4)Why do most Americans need cars to go shopping or go to work every day?七、书面表达 (共1题;共5分)18.

So the old man said, “I’m sorry I can’t take any of you,” and they left.He kept the advertisement in the papers, and the next morning many more boys came, and among them he saw a thin boy who had been there the day before. The boy hit the nail successfully for three times. The old man felt surprised and asked how he did that.“Yes,” said the boy, “I failed yesterday, but I thought that if I kept on trying a while, I could do it. So I went home and practiced hitting a nail with a stick till I could do it, and I got up very early this morning, and tried again.”The old man said, “You are the boy for me,” and gave him the job. Whatever the boy had to do, he tried to do his best. It was not very long before he became the best clerk in the store.1.
