College students often take planes to places like Florida or Cancun,Mexico.They relax on the beach,enjoy cold drinks and get a tan.Younger kids take trips with their parents,visiting a new state or even a newcountry.Sometimes teachers lead overseas trips for groups of students.On a ten-day trip,for example,students may go on a tour through Spain,France,and Italy,which gives them a great chance to see different parts of the world.Having a “staycation”’which means being a tourist in your own city,is another popular trend(趋势).You can visit local art galleries(美术馆），museums or have a big meal in a nice restaurant.For those who are not in the mood to go out,spring break experience.Instead of playing,they choose to do community service,help with disaster-hit areas and do other volunteering work.No matter how they’ve spent the break,one thing is for true---students return to school feeling refreshed(恢复活力的）and ready to finish the school year.88.Students in the US begin their spring break at a different time,don’t they?________________________________________________________89.How long does the spring break last?_________________________________________90.Where do the college students often go during the spring break?____________________________________________________91.According to the passage,how can students spend the spring break differently?By________________________________________________________92.What’s the advantage of having a spring break?__________________________________________93.If you are given the spring break,how will you spend it?why?__________________________________________________Ⅶ.Writing94.Write at least 60 words about the topic “An Unforgettable Experience”(以“一次难忘的经历”为题写一篇不少于60个词的短文，标点符号不占格）初中生活即将结束，三年的初中生活一定给你留下很多难以忘怀的经历，请谈谈令你难忘，值得回忆的一次经历。

I’m waiting for Goldie to come home.Goldie’s proper name is Goldeneye. She’s Grandad’s champion (冠军) racing pigeon. She’s famous as she’s won lots of cups. This morning she had a race - flew two, hundred miles away with lots of other pigeons. And now she’s racing back home.“Come on, Goldie. Come on Goldie!” That’s me, calling Golden eye back home. But I can’t see her yet.I really want Goldie to win this race. I want to give Grandad the good news when I see him tonight in hospital. My eyes search the blue sky. Still no sign of Goldie.“Calm down, Danny!”I tell myself. That's what Grandad would have said: “Calm down, Danny!”But it’s hard to be calm. This job is very important. I’ll tell you why.Before a race they put a rubber ring on every pigeon’s leg. When Goldie comes back, I’ve got to catch her, as soon as she lands. I’ve got to take her ring off, as fast as I can, and put it in a little metal tube. I’ve got to put that tube in Grandad’s special timing clock. That records the time that Goldie finished the race.But I’ll have to move like lightning. I can’t waste a second. I’ve got to get that ring into that clock as quickly as I can!So that’s why I’m nervous, waiting for Goldie. I’m getting more nervous every minute, because Goldie should be here by now. But the sky is blue and empty.“Calm down, son,” I tell myself. “Goldie always comes back.” But where is she? What am I going to tell Grandad?I wait until it’s nearly dark. I give up! Then I lock the other pigeons in the loft. I’ve got to see Grandad tonight at the hospital. What am I going to tell him?88.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): (12分)If your home is like most others, you've probably got a recycling (回收) bin in your kitchen. Good for you. That’s the first step to recycling. But there are other things that both parents and kids can do to make recycling work better.First, what kinds of rubbish bins are in the other rooms of your house? What about in your bedroom? You’ve probably just got one rubbish bin where everything goes. But it’s a good idea to place a special bin for recycling paper. Then when it goes full, you can empty it into a larger recycling bin in the kitchen. You can also put a small recycling bin in the bathroom for any useless paper there.Before you throw an item into the recycling bin, stop and think if you can use that item again. Take plastic items with yogurt, for example. After eating what’s in them, you can clean them and store them in a cupboard, and later you can use them for storing another food item. You can do thesame with the glass jars, too. You can also share your recycling advice with your neighbours.If you decide to put an item in the recycling bin, it’s very important to follow this method. If it has food or drink m it, you must clean it before you put it in the recycling bin. It can’t be recycled with food still in it. You should place the item under the running water for a few seconds to clean it. This saves time for the workers in the recycling center. Then they can use their time doing more important work.The last thing to remember is - don’t give up! Recycling is a whole life task and you mustn’t just do recycling for a month and then return to your old habits. You can also continue to find other ways to recycle. So make recycling your new habit, and get others involved as well!88. Is it good for you to have a recycling bin in your kitchen?___________________________________________________________________________.89. Where can you put a small recycling bin for any useless paper?___________________________________________________________________________.90. What should you do before you throw an item into the recycling bin?___________________________________________________________________________.91. Why must you clean the item before you put it in the recycling bin?___________________________________________________________________________.92.

What is the passage mainly about?It__________________________________________________________________________.Keys: 88. Yes, it is.89. I can put a small recycling bin for useless paper in the bathroom.90. I should stop and think if I can use that item again.91. Because items with food or drink can’t be recycled, and this also saves time for the workers in the recycling centre.92. A whole life.93.

He was born in winter and like all bear cubs, he was blind and he had no teeth. His mother was sleeping in her den(兽穴), deep inside the Russian forest. Outside, it was very cold and everything was covered by thick snow. Inside the den with his mother, however, Yuri felt safe and warm.Then, when Yuri was only a few weeks old, some hunters came. Dogs were sent into the den. Yuri’s mother was woken up by the dogs. She tried to protect her cub, but when she climbed out of the den, she was shot by the hunters.Every year, between 3,000 and 4,000 brown bears are hunted and killed like this. There are only 110,000 brown bears in Russia today and they almost disappear in other European countries. Their meat and fur are sold for thousands of dollars, so people will continue to hunt them. The cubs are usually just left to die. Without their mothers they can’t survive.Yuri, however, was lucky. He was found by one of the hunters and he was taken to The Russian Bear Orphanage, 350 kilometers northwest of Moscow. The orphanage is run byProfessor Valentin Pazhetnov. Here, Yuri will be looked after. He and other orphan bears will be fed and taught how to survive. When they are old enough, they will be taken to a nature reserve in Bryansk, where they will be protected. Professor Pazhetnov hopes that in the future some bears will be released in other European countries where they are now extinct.So far, over a hundred bear cubs have been saved by the orphanage. Seventy bears have been returned to the forest. We want to save more. That’s why I’m writing to you now. Money is needed for food, transport and for people to look after the baby bears. Yuri and his friends need your help. Please send a donation (捐赠) today. Together we can save the orphan bears.Thank you.Yours sincerely,Fred 88.

Each morning he was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his holy(圣书)book. One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa! I try to read the holy book just like you but I don’t understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do?”The grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take, this coal basket down to the river and bring back a basket of water.”The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home, Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead. The old man said, “I don’t want a bucket of water, I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough,” and Grandpa went out of the door to watch the boy if he would do. The boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak out before he got to the house. The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather, the basket was again empty. Out of breath, he said, “See Grandpa, it’s useless.”“So you think it is useless.” The old man said, “Look at the basket.” The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different. It had been changed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean, inside and outside.So, that's what happens when you read the book.

He was so pleased with what he had bought that he offered to share the mushrooms with his fellow officers. When their breakfast arrived the next day, each officer found some mushrooms on his plate.One officer looked at the mushrooms carefully and then suggested, “They look nice, but I heard that some mushrooms might be poisonous (有毒的). Let’s get Jimmy to examine a piece for us.” Jimmy was the dog they kept. They brought it in, and fed it one piece of mushroom. The dog quickly ate it, and seemed to enjoy his mushroom. Fifteen minutes later, Jimmy was still alive and kicking without showing any discomfort. The officers were relieved (放心的) and began to eat their meal, saying that the mushrooms had a very strange but quite pleasant taste.However, an hour later, the gardener rushed into the room and reported in a sad voice that the dog was dead. The officers were astonished and their faces turned white out of fear. Immediately, they jumped into their cars and rushed to the nearest hospital. The doctors and nurses used pumps (吸物器) to help them get rid of the mushrooms that remained in their stomachs. Everyone had a hard time.When they returned to the police station, they sat down and started to discuss the mushroom poisoning. Each man explained the pains he had felt and they agreed that it had grown worse on their way to the hospital. “The poor dog must have died a painful death,” said one officer. “Let’s ask the gardener how it died.”So they called the gardener in and asked him more details about Jimmy’s death. The gardener sighed and said, “Jimmy was a good dog. It is said that a car hit him in the middle of the road. But I guess it didn't suffer much. It died the moment it was hit.”88.

Kyle MacDonald, a 26-year-old Canadian, got a three-bedroomed house through 14 trades(交换).Seeing Kyle’s successful experience, now more and more young people around the world are starting their own trading activities. They set up websites where people can trade things they do not usually use with other people. A website called Peerfix allows people to trade their used DVDs. These traders usually prefer face-to-face trading, which means they don't have to worry about who is going to pay for the delivery.Last year, a young girl in Beijing decided to follow the example of Kyle. She started with a paper clip and hoped to get a house in the end. After several trades she now has a piano which is worth more than 10,000 yuan. But she may still have a long way to go.You may wonder why people are so interested in those trading activities. If you ask Kyle, he will say, “To a man dying of thirst(干渴) in the desert, a glass of water is surely more useful than one million dollars, isn't it?”Kyle’s words probably show why these trades are popular among young people.88.

They tried variousways as they could think out. They buried 埋 treasure to stop other people from taking it. They chose a quiet place, dug a deep hole and buried the treasure in it. Then they made a map of where the treasure was or wrote down other clues线索that would help them or someone else to find it again.In Britain a few years ago, a writer wrote about some treasure that he had buried. He put clues in the story to help readers find it. Thousands of people hunted for the treasure. They dug holes all over Britain, hoping to find it.One of the most popular adventure stories ever written is Robert LouisStephenson's“Treasure Island”, an exciting story about a young boy, Jim Hawkins, who is captured by pirates 海盗and later finds some buried treasure.Then there is the true story about a man who had to travel overseas for a year. He did not trust banks, so he buried his life savings in a park. Then he went away. On his return, he went straight to the park. But the park was no longer there. In its place there was a huge building.And then there was a woman who buried her savings, all in bank notes, in a waterproof防水的bag. When she dug it up years later, there was nothing left. Worms and insects had eaten the bag and everything in it.And of course, these are stories about people who bury things and either forget where they have buried them or lose the map.Although it is true that people sometimes lose their money because a bank fails, banks are still the safest place to keep our savings and treasures.69.

A recent research finds that sleep is important for things to be stored into the brain. Having a good night’s sleep is necessary if you want to remember a new task within 30 minutes.A recent research was published in the December issue of Nature Neuro-Science. It showed that it was the act of sleep that was important for people to memorize more things.“We think that getting that first night’s sleep starts the process of memory consolidation,” said Robert, a sleep researcher at Harvard Medical School who conducted the latest study.About one in every five people says that it is difficult to sleep for at least 8 hours a day. And not enough sleep affects their daily activities. The latest research work pay more attention to the less well-understood side effect --- serious memory hurt. Volunteers in an experiment found it easier to finish the memory work if they were allowed to sleep that night. But for those who kept awake, now matter how long they were in bed, the loss cannot be made up for.After the experiment, the scientists concluded that enough sleep is necessary for good memories.21. be stored, 22. new task 23. memorize more 24. daily activities 25.that nightPart 2 Phonetics , Grammar and Vocabulary 第二部分语音、语法和词汇II.
