I was born, I played a lot, and then I started school. I learnt many new things. Like a flower, I grew bigger every day. There were happy days and sorrowful days : some days the sun shone, and some days it didn't.In my twenties, I had a good job. I was strong and happy. Then I married and had a child In those days, I didn't have much time to think. Every day I was busy and worked very hard. And so, I started to get some white hair. The summer of my life passed quickly.Then the days go t shorter. Leaves fell from the trees. My child was a university student, and then an engineer. My home was much quieter. I started walking more slowly. One day I stopped working. I had more time. I understood this was my autumn, a beautiful time when the trees change colour and give us delicious fruits.But the days kept getting shorter and colder. Winter has come. I am older and weaker.I know I do not have many days left, but I will enjoy them to the end.31.

Four seasons in a yearBFor most people, the word "fashion" means "clothes". But people may ask the question, "What clothes are in fashion?" And they use the adjective "fashionable" in the same way:"She was wearing a fashionable coat."But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs and languages.Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions are always changing. An English house of 1750 was different from one of 1650. A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in 1840. Now iPhone 6s is a fashion, but perhaps it will be out of fashion later on.Today fashions change very quickly. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspapers, radios, telephones and televisions send information from one country to another in a few hours.New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.35. "Fashions change as time goes" means .A. fashions change more quickly than timeB. fashions change more slowly than timeC. fashions have changed, but time hasn'tD. when time changes, fashions change too36.

The teacher told the students _______________ (not finish) their papers with their parents’ help.五、阅读填空（5分）Nowadays, we can often hear the discussion whether (是否) we should buy cars. Some people think that we should. But others think that driving cars is not a wise (明智的) idea. As for me, I’m in favor (喜欢) of the latter idea.To begin with, there are few parking lots (停车位), so the streets are made narrower by the cars parked along the roads. For example, my father could not find any places to park when we went to the supermarket.Moreov er, many drivers do not obey (遵守) traffic rules, because people don’t pay enough attention (关注) to the traffic rules. For example, I often see people cross the road when the traffic lights are still red.Last but not least, the construction (建设) of the new roads is not as fast as the increasing (增加) number of cars. For example, the length of the road went up by 20% in 2002. However, the number of cars increased by 50% at the same time.From what has been discussed above, we should draw a conclusion that buying too many cars is not fit for today.s not a wise idea.

Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Some birds like eating locusts(蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops(庄稼). When ange to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of colouring is toprotect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colours much like the trees.Have you ever found an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid(液体) when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over(散开), its enemies(敌人) cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.( ) 4.

They are usually found in groups of about 20. They are killed for their wool, which is warm, soft and fine and can be made into expensive clothes. Although people can get the wool without killing the animals, people simply kill them before taking the wool. The number of them is dropping year by year. There are less than 75,000 Tibetan antelopes left in the world, down from a million 50 years ago.Golden MonkeysGolden monkeys are mainly found in Sichuan, Gansu, Shanxi provinces and Shengnongjia mountainous area of Hubei Province. Golden monkeys have golden-orange fur. They move around in the daytime, usually in groups of as many as100 to 200 heads, or 20 to 30 heads. They feed on fruits and young leaves of bamboos. But people are destroying the environment where they live. Trees and bamboos are disappearing, so golden monkeys have less and less to eat. ElephantsElephants are very big and strong. They are bigger than any other animalson land. They are grey and have long trunks and tusks. They have poor eyesight, but very good hearing and smell. They can lift heavy things and break down branches with their trunks. Elephants are very friendly towards each other andt owards their neighbours. Normally, they live in a group for many years.

There were happy days and sorrowful days : some days the sun shone, and some days it didn't.In my twenties, I had a good job. I was strong and happy. Then I married and had a child In those days, I didn't have much time to think. Every day I was busy and worked very hard. And so, I started to get some white hair. The summer of my life passed quickly.Then the days go t shorter. Leaves fell from the trees. My child was a university student, and then an engineer. My home was much quieter. I started walking more slowly. One day I stopped working. I had more time. I understood this was my autumn, a beautiful time when the trees change colour and give us delicious fruits.But the days kept getting shorter and colder. Winter has come.

There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs and languages.Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions are always changing. An English house of 1750 was different from one of 1650. A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in 1840. Now iPhone 6s is a fashion, but perhaps it will be out of fashion later on.Today fashions change very quickly.

Some people think that we should. But others think that driving cars is not a wise (明智的) idea. As for me, I’m in favor (喜欢) of the latter idea.To begin with, there are few parking lots (停车位), so the streets are made narrower by the cars parked along the roads. For example, my father could not find any places to park when we went to the supermarket.Moreov er, many drivers do not obey (遵守) traffic rules, because people don’t pay enough attention (关注) to the traffic rules. For example, I often see people cross the road when the traffic lights are still red.Last but not least, the construction (建设) of the new roads is not as fast as the increasing (增加) number of cars. For example, the length of the road went up by 20% in 2002. However, the number of cars increased by 50% at the same time.From what has been discussed above, we should draw a conclusion that buying too many cars is not fit for today.s not a wise idea.

This was the beginning of the library at Harvard University. The gift was so important that the university was named for John Harvard.Thomas Bray began the first free lending library in the late 1600s. He set up more than 30 libraries in the American colonies. However, the idea for this kind of free library ended when Bray died in 1730. In 1731, Benjamin Franklin and some friends started the first subscription library in the United States. In a subscription library people pay money to become members, but they may borrow the books without paying again.In the United States, every child had a free education. This idea soon led to free libraries. One of the first libraries that used tax money to buy books was a library in Peterborough, New Hampshire. This library was set up in 1833.( )1. The main idea of the second paragraph is .A. Franklin started the first subscription libraryB. in a subscription library people pay money to become membersC. Bray and Franklin were important in the history of public librariesD. Bray died in 1730 and Franklin died in 1833( )2. The underlined word “bo rrow” means .A. read and write with no help from another personB. use for a short time and then returnC. like very muchD. lend( )3. The passage does not say it, but we can guess that .A. there were free schools in the United States before there were free librariesB. free schools and free libraries in the United States began at about the same timeC. the library in New Hampshire also had a free school in itD. there were free libraries in the United States before there were free schoolsBGladys Holm was a secretary (秘书). She worked in an office all her life. Gladys made about $15,000 a year. She died when she was 86 years old. And she left a big surprise—$18 million! She gave the money to a children’s hospital.Gladys Holm never got married or had any children. But she always liked children, and she wanted to help them. When her friend’s daughter was ill in hospital, Gladys brought her a toy bear. After that, she visited the hospital many times. Every time she visited, she brought toy bears for those ch ildren. After that, people started to call Gladys the “Toy Bear L ady”.Gladys always gave toys and other presents to her friends but no one knew she had a lot of money. She lived in a small house outside Chicago. Everyone was very surprised when they learned that she was a millionaire. One of her friends said, “She always gave us nice presents and things, but we didn’t know she was rich.”How did Gladys get so much money?

They even forgot to think of him as disabled.At the age of six, he told his mother he wanted to get down from the prosthetics(假肢)and play with other kids. This was the last time Jason had worn them.
