People who know each other very well—close friends, family or neighbors—visit each other’s houses without an invitation, but usually an invitation is needed. 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 meal 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 realinvitation 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. Sorry, we’d love to but we have tickets for the concert.B. Thanks. We’d love to. What time?C. Sure. We’d like to, thanks a lot.D. No, we wouldn’t!33．If the British just want to end a talk politely, they may say, “_________”A. Would you like to come for dinner on Saturday?B. Let’s go out for a meal one o f these days.C. Let’s go out for a meal on Saturday.D. Shall we go for a drink this afternoon?34．The British often use “________” to answer the invitations that are not real.A. Yes, what time?B. No, that’s not a re al invitation.C. OK, yes, thanks.D. No, you just want to be friendly.35．Which is the best title for the passage?A. BritainB. Invitations in BritainC. A talk with friendsD. A DinnerBIn Singapore，many middle school students spend a lot of their time on their studies．Good education is often regarded as a ticket to success in their future．So，many of these students try their best to get a good mark in their examinations．They have a lot of homework every day and exams are a big headache．Sometimes，some of them are even made to go to remedial（补习的）classes after schoo1．Schools run programmes outside school hours．The students can take part in sports and games，music and dance，hiking and rock—climbing，etc．They are also very active in community service（社区服务）.In their spare time，most students like to listen to pop music．Hollywood blockbusters（大片），Hong Kong and Singapore movies are very popular among them．They understand IT very well．Some of them also spend their free time surfing the Internet，e—mailing their friends，playing computer and video games．They sometimes go to cafes，fast—food restaurants，shopping centers and big bookstores．So，it looks like life as a middle school student in Singapore is not easy but it is rich and colorful.36．Many students want to get good education to be _____ in the future．A．popular B．successfulC．comfortable D．generous37．_____ go to remedial classes after school in SingaporeA．A11 of the studentsB．Few of the studentsC．Not all the studentsD．Most of the students38．In the school，the students can’t ______ outside school hours.A．have sportsB．danceC．go hikingD．go to a restaurant39．According to the passage，most students in Singapore like ______.A．Hollywood blockbustersB．writing to their friendsC．talking to their friendsD．having exams40．The meaning of the underlined sentence in the passage is ________.A．the middle schoo1 students’ life in Singapore is easyB．the middle school students’ life in Singapore is amazing (疯狂的)C．the middle schoo l students’ life in Singapore is boringD．the middle school students’ life in Singapore is hard，but it’s interestingCMr. Zhang is on business in France.

Most people hope that their friends will always be there. They 36 friendship to last forever. 37, even the best friendship can end.As time goes by, many friendships end because of a(n) 38 in personality or ways of life. The friendship slowly loses its importance and finally 39.Tommy wrote, “I didn't even know the friendship was over until I caught myself thinking of Alan as a former friend.”Peter explained, “We 40 seeing each other less and less. The friendship was just over.”Sometimes friendships 41 suddenly from a disagreement or move to another place.Alice said, “The end of our friendship was a gradual thing. I moved from one side of the city to the other. Since then we 42 made a phone call. We met less and less. At last our friendship ended.”Jack said, “When I moved to Seattle after college, our friendship died. Both of us were always 43 with new jobs, so we didn't keep 44 touch with each other. Our friendship was so dead that I didn't call him 45 I went home.”Yet the biggest problem to a friendship is change. Lillian Rubin in her book Just Friends said, “Generally it's 46 that friends will accept each other if they both remain what they were when they met, or change in similar directions. If they change or grow in different ways, the friendship most likely 47 lost.”No matter why, when, or how friendships end, there is always 48 pain of loss. When nothing can be 49 to keep the friendship, it is important to forget the pain. Then move on 50 new friendships.May new friendships bring you pleasure and happiness!36.

It can be used in every field, such as on some signs and restaurant menus. But there are some problems when people use it. Perhaps you've seen the English letters “WC” in your city. They show public toilets. But do you know it is far from native(地道的) English? In fact, foreigners from English-speaking countries seldom use the letters.Workers in our city are changing “WC” signs all over the city. The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus. Many other places in China are following our steps.“WC is old-fashioned English. It sounds dirty to me,” says Nancy, a young woman from the US. The old sign will become “Gents/Men” and “Ladies/Women”. “I see much poor English in everyday life, and not only on signs,” she says, “I know what they mean, but they are Chinglish, not real English. For example, when someone says to me “My hometown is Guizhou Province”, I know he or she should say “My hometown is in Guizhou Province”. Hometown is a smaller place in a province. The common mistakes that Nancy picked up include “Not Entry”, which should be “No Entry”, “Direction of Airport”, which should be changed to “To the Airport”. And it is “Room Rate”, not “Room Price”. And remember to “Keep off the Grass” rather than “Care of the Green”.The next time you walk on the street or eat in the restaurant, you can go and see if the expressions are right.51. Who seldom uses letters of “WC” according to the passage?A. Chinese students.B. Foreigners from Japan.C. Teachers in China.D. English-speaking foreigners.52. What's the attitude(态度)of the government towards the bad English on signs?A. It's native.B. It should be changed.C. It doesn't matter.D. It can be used on signs.53. When Nancy sees much poor English in everyday life, ________.A. she thinks it should be correctedB. she thinks it is importantC. she thinks it is properD. she likes to use it54. Which of the following signs is RIGHT?A. Not EntryB. Room PriceC. To the AirportD. Care of the Green55. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Chinglish on menus.B. Money spent on Chinglish.C. Usages of native English.D. Letters of “WC”.BFROM THE EDITORDEAR READERS,Happy birthday to us! TIME magazine's first issue (期刊) came out on March 3, 1923. Sure, the 96th birthday isn't the most special birthday, comparing with the 100th birthday. But we take every opportunity (机会) to celebrate. TIME for Kids came along just a little bit later, in 1995. Soon, we will have our 25th birthday!We have run our Kid Reporter program for many years. Many kids who took part in the program as a reporter are professional journalists (职业记者) now. While they were working with TFK, they caught some great opportunities, like interviewing political leaders, famous people, Olympic athletes, scientists, and more.Do you dream of being a reporter?

You can find the passage on/in ________.A. a websiteB. a bookC. a novelD. a diaryCHobbies are very important to a person. Without having any hobbies, life won't be as colorful as it should be.I have a number of hobbies, such as collecting stamps, playing musical instruments(乐器), reading, and doing sports. When I am free, I will spend time on my hobbies. When I am in a blue mood(情绪低落), I will also do my hobbies to cheer myself up.Hobbies can help us improve our moods. Many hobbies require you to put your heart in them. For example, when you play a musical instrument, you have to practice over and over in order to perform(表演)good music. After a period( 一段时期)if you still enjoy it, gradually( 逐渐地)it will become a hobby of yours. But remember, a hobby is like gold under the ground; no hobby will come to you unless you dig it out yourself. If you can treat study as one of your hobbies, learning will be more enjoyable. I hope all of you can find your own hobbies and also have fun from them.61. What makes our life colorful?A. Playing musical instruments.B. Collecting stamps.C. The blue mood.D. The hobbies.62.

Ben’s dad was pu tting pieces of wood over the windows while his mom was making sure the flashlights and radio were working. She also put some candles and matches on the table.Ben was helping his mom make dinner when the rain began to beat heavily against the windows. After dinner, they tried to play a card game, but it was hard to have fun with a serious storm happening outside.Ben could not sleep at first.

Soon the news of friendly dolphins swimming around Monkey Mia began to spread, and before long the beach became very popular. However, by the 1980s, researchers had noticed a worrying fact —as adult dolphins became more dependent on humans for food, more and more of their babies died. Things got so bad that 90% of the babies failed to grow up. Luckily, the local government started to control dolphin feeding.Today, only a small number of dolphins visit the Monkey Mia beach every day. And they are only fed a little fish so that they still go out hunting(猎食) and teach their young survival(生存) skills. Visitors can only feed the dolphins when they are allowed. “We only feed them around 10% of their daily food,” said Luke Skinner, a staff member there. “This makes them go and hunt for 90% of their food.”The dolphins that visit Monkey Mia every morning draw more than 100,000 visitors to the beach each year. Visitors can get close to the dolphins, play with them and learn about them and their habitat.36．What do we know about Monkey Mia?A．It is a zoo. B．It is a beach in Australia.C．It is named after a fisherman. D．It is a natural habitat of monkeys.37．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指的是) ?A．The dolphins. B．The fishermen. C．The monkeys. D．The researchers.38．What happened in the 1980s?A．Lots of adult dolphins began to die.B．Many dolphins were killed by fishermen.C．Monkey Mia became too crowded with visitors.D．More and more baby dolphins failed to grow up.39．How does the local government protect the dolphins?A．By protecting their habitat. B．By controlling dolphin feeding.C．By teaching them hunting skills. D．By cutting down the number of visitors.40．The writer wrote the passage to ________.A．introduce the best place the dolphins live inB．advise us to teach baby animals survival skillsC．show the reasons why the visitors can’t feed the dolphinsD．tell us to pay more attention to animals, survival rulesDBy Global TimesMay 12th, 2022______▲______China’s Zhurong rover (祝融号) has found evidence (证据) showing that water has been on Mars (火星) much longer than expected.Zhurong, named after the Chinese god of fire, landed safely on Mars on May 15th, 2021, making China only the second behind the United States to fully succeed.Zhurong, the Mars rover, is 1.85 meters high and weighs about 240 kilograms. It has six wheels and four solar panels (太阳能面板) and it can move at 200 meters an hour on Mars.The rover’s three-month primary mission (任务) was to search for signs of ancient life. It has done research on the minerals, environment and location of water and ice in the plain. The rover continues to research into its landing place and send information back to the Tianwen-1. The rover returned some information from its primary survey of the basin. It shows that Utopia Planitia basin had water during a time, but many scientists used to believe Mars to be dry and cold.“Mars is the planet we are most likely to live on in the future. That’s why we want to understand it,” said Ge, a scientist in China’s space program. “Zhurong’s evidence of water on Mars makes great progress in future Mars missions!”41．China becomes only the ________ to land a rover successfully on Mars according to the passage.A．first B．second C．third D．fourth42．Which picture does Zhurong rover look like?A．B．C．D．43．According to the passage, we can infer (推断) that ________.A．the news came out on May 15th, 2021 B．the rover returned three months agoC．the rover may send pictures back to the Tianwen-1 D．Mars used to be dry and cold in the ancient time 44．What does the underlined word “it” refer to (指代) in the last paragraph?A．Tianwen-1.
