Every year, there is a special day for people around the world to celebrate the importance of good and healthy sleep-World Sleep Day.Sleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow. People of different ages need different amounts(数量) of sleep. According to the National Sleep Foundation in the US, adults needs even to nine hours of sleep every night. For students aged 10 to 17, a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours per night.However, many students don’t get enough sleep because of early school start times and too much homework. The China Youth and Children Research Center said that about 80 percent of middle school students don’t get enough sleep. It has influences on students’ school life. Students without enough sleep may get poor grades. They cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports.To solve this problem, scientists advise that students should get less schoolwork andmore time to sleep. Taking a 20-minute nap(午睡) during the day is also useful. Good sleep habits help a lot. For example, try to go to sleep and wakeup at the same time every day, even on weekends and during holidays.36．What is the main idea of Paragraph One?A．The importance of sleep.B．A third of people’s sleep time.C．A special way of sleeping.D．World Sleep Day celebrations. 37．What might happen if teenagers don’t get enough sleep according to the text?A．They might play sports better.B．They might learn badly in class.C．They might be unhappy all day.D．They might be excited during the day. 38．What does the underlined word “influences” mean?A．伤害B．缺点C．影响D．好处39．Which of the following is NOT a way of helping people get enough sleep?A．Having good sleep habits.B．Taking exercise before going to sleep.C．Taking a 20-minute nap during the day.D．Getting up at the same time every day.40．What’s the best title for the text?A．Sleep more on weekends B．Try to take a nap during classesC．Let’s get good and healthy sleep D．Plan your sleeping time on holidaysNapoga is a 12-year old girl in Ghana, Africa. It is hard for her family to get clean water. Every morning, she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away. It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They can’t get enough clean water to keep healthy.Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource（自然资源）on the earth.Water covers 70 percent of the earth’s surface（表面）. But most of that is sea water. We can’t use it for many things. Freshwater covers only one percent of the earth’s surface.You probably feel lucky that your life isn’t as hard as Napoga’s. But that doesn’t mean you don’t have to worry about water. We all face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers,lakes, and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too. Now, thirty-four percent of all kinds of fish are dying out.How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First, they pollute the air. Then, when it rains, the rainwater comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid rain（酸雨）, is also bad for plants, animals and buildings.Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won’t have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children.Here is some advice for saving water.·Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. You can save as much as 450 liters each month.·Leaky taps（漏水的龙头）waste a lot of water. Fix them right away.·You can easily cut your 10-minute showers in half, and you’ll be just as clean.·When you wash dishes, don’t let the water run.·Only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash. If your washing machine isn’t full, you are wasting water!41．Why can’t Napoga go to school?A．Because her family is poor.B．Because she doesn’t like studying.C．Because she has to take care of her little brother.D．Because she has to get clean water for her family.42．From the passage we can learn ________ ways to save water.A．two B．three C．four D．five 43．What information do we know from the passage about the water on the earth?A．There is 70% of freshwater.B．We don’t need to worry about water.C．There is very little water for our living.D．Sea water is more widely used than freshwater.44．From the passage, we know that acid rain ________.A．is only bad for living thingsB．can be produced in factoriesC．isn’t bad for people, but bad for plants, animals and buildingsD．is bad for all living things including human beings45．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．It’s time to take good care of the water we use.B．Water is the most important natural resource on the earth.C．Something must be done to prevent water from being polluted.D．Clean water means much to human beings and living things around us.Libraries give kids a quiet and safe place to read and learn. For over 100 years, libraries have played an important role in Americans’ education（教育）. But how are these book-filled buildings changing with the times? You may be surprised to find out.Benjamin Franklin famously founded（创建）America’s first lending library in 1731. But the public library system（系统）got its biggest development（发展）in the American history in the late1800s. Businessman Andrew Carnegie donated millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country. Between 1886 and 1919, Carnegie’s donations helped build 1,679 new libraries.Carnegie believed that libraries could offer the chances to Americans, young and old. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have opportunities（机会）to read and use books, speeches and news.If you can easily find a public library in your community, you’ll get more chances. After all, the United States has 9,225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing. Seven tenths of the libraries have free Internet. It provides much more information and opportunities to ask for jobs online.Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading. The new program Read! Build! Play! adds reading into playtime. As kids listen to a book that is being read aloud, they use Legos（乐高积木）to build images（图像）from the story happily. Today’s libraries are always looking for creative（创造性的）programs to bring more people into the library.Benjamin Franklin once said, “The doors of wisdom（智慧）are never shut. As long as the doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct!”46．Who founded America’s first lending library?A．Benjamin Franklin.B．Andrew Carnegie.C．The writer.D．Some kids.47．The right order of the following statements is ________.①The public library system in America developed fast.①The first lending library was founded.①Libraries try to bring more people in by using creative programs.①Libraries provide more information and chances to ask for jobs online.A．①①①①B．①①①①C．①①①①D．①①①①48．The last paragraph mainly tells us ________.A．libraries have played an important role in Americans’ educationB．public libraries in the US should never close the doorsC．the writer doesn’t agree with Benjamin FranklinD．libraries help people to open the doors of wisdom49．What is the purpose of the new program Read! Build! Play!?A．To build more libraries.B．To add reading into playtime.C．To provide the libraries with free Internet.D．To look for creative programs to bring people into the libraries.50．The best title for the passage is ________.A．The libraries in the worldB．Libraries and opportunitiesC．Libraries teach kids to read and learnD．The development of the American libraries四、阅读还原7选5从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

the world"可知这是一个比较的范围，所以要用最高级，只能从C，D两项中进行选择，又因为one of的意思是"…中的之一"后面要跟复数名词，综上所述，故选C．长江是世界上最长的河流之一．首先要掌握形容词的最高级，还要掌握one of的用法，然后结合具体的题目，就可以确定正确答案．3.【答案】C【解析】答案C．空格后than是形容词或副词的标志词，所以空格处需要选择形容词或副词比较级形式，排除B．空格前sing是动词，修饰动词需要用副词，排除A和D．故选C．奇怪的是，我们班的男生唱歌要比女生好听的多．考生一定要记住看到than就知道是比较级的标志词．形容词修饰名词，副词修饰动词．4.【答案】C【解析】答案：C．fewer是few的比较级，意思是"较少的"修饰可数名词；less是little的比较级，意思是"较少的"修饰不可数名词．根据"________ money and ________ people"第一个空格后面的词语是不可数名词money，所以前面要用less来填空，第二个空格后面是people，所以要用fewer 来填空，结合句意"用比较少的钱和比较少的人来完成这个工作"故选C．请尽可能的用比较少的钱和比较少的人来完成这个工作．首先要掌握形容词比较级，还要掌握fewer和less的用法，然后结合具体的题目，就可以确定正确答案．5.【答案】C【解析】正确答案：C．A是继续，B是赶上，追上，C是同意，D是觉得、认为．根据题干可知说话人觉得老师是最辛勤的人们，问对方是否同意他的说法，故选择C．我觉得老师是最辛勤的人们．你同意我的说法吗？本题考查动词短语辨析，基础题，熟悉每个选项的含义，再根据题干即可作出选择．6.【答案】D【解析】答案：D．考查名词词义辨析．句意"我父亲是一个好司机．他有很好的方向感．"idea主意，feeling感觉，experience经验．根据题意父亲是一个好司机．可知他应该有很好的方向感．故选D．我父亲是一个好司机．他有很好的方向感．了解所给选项中名词词义，再结合句意进行选择．7.【答案】D【解析】答案：D．形容词最高级要有一个表示比较的范围，根据"in her class"在她班里，可知这是一个表示比较的范围，所以要用最高级，又因为"The girl _______ long hair"the girl是句子的主语，也就是说"_______ long hair"要作定语来修饰the girl，结合给出的选项，所以要用with 短语来修饰girl，故选D．那个长头发女孩是她班里最高的女孩．首先要掌握形容词最高级的用法，还要掌握with短语的用法，然后结合具体的题目，就可以确定正确答案．8.【答案】D【解析】答案：D 考查ing形容词和ed形容词．根据题干：The trip from the school _____ about half an hour by coach．It was too

trip，故用take的过去式took．同时boring的主语是物，bored的主语是人，本题主语是it，所以用boring，故选择D．--这次旅行从学校乘长途汽车花了半个小时，太无聊了．考查ing形容词和ed形容词．ing形容词的主语是物和ed形容词的主语是人，所以确定主语是关键．9.【答案】B【解析】答案：B．考查搭配．句意"丽莎中文有点差，我想她需要每天都要练习说它．"．这里的need需要，是实义动词．need

sth练习做某事，这两个句型，做题就很简单了．10.【答案】C【解析】正确答案：C．根据题干可知珍妮很善良，她经常和朋友分享她的玩具，其中share sth．with sb．表示和某人分享某物，故选择C．珍妮非常善良，她经常和朋友们分享她的玩具．本题考查动词短语辨析，基础题，熟记常用的短语含义，再根据题干即可作出选择．11.【答案】D【解析】答案：D 考查动名词．根据题干：worry在表示为某事担心时，要加介词about，在表示让谁担心时，直接接宾语．结合语境你正在担心什么？可知前文描述的是现在正在进行的动作，故用现在进行时态．构成是主语+be+doing，先排除B、C．下文描述的是客观性的动作，故用一般现在时态．后面是人，选D．--你正在担心什么？--我丈夫的健康问题让我很担心．考查首字母填空．准确地翻译句子、理解句子，然后根据句意及提示用合适的词的合适形式完成句子，使句意更通顺．12.【答案】B【解析】答案：B．考查名词词义辨析．句意"--英国人管假期叫什么？--他们叫它"holiday"．"fall下落，vacation假期，mail邮件，elevator电梯．根据题意回答他们叫它"holiday"．可知应该选vacation假期，其他都与题意不符．故选B．--英国人管假期叫什么？--他们叫它"holiday"．了解所给选项中名词词义，再结合句意进行选择．13.【答案】B【解析】答案：B，考查系动词．句意"--俱乐部成员的数量是四十人．--他们中男生有多少人？"根据题干The

The one-hour trip seemed very long. We arrived at the park at about 9 a.m.There were many fun places for us to choose from. We first went to the Crazy Firedrake(喷火龙) Drill.

But when they did, their lives changed, they did not have to move houses any more.They could stay in one place and grow it. People began to live near each other. And so the first villages grew. Many people came to work in the villages. These villages grew bigger and bigger. Then people had machines, and lives in the villages changed again. They built factories.

Different types of crepes are prepared around the world. Let’s look at where these delicious French foods came from and their influence on food culture.As one story goes, a thirteenth-century housewife in Brittany, France, carelessly dropped some porridge (粥) onto a hot cooking stone in her kitchen. The lucky result was a flat and thin pancake that was made of wheat appeared, and wheat later became the key ingredient in traditional crepes. According to another story, crepes date back to the fifth century. The Roman pope (教皇) offered them to French visitors at that time.The word “crepe” comes from the Latin word “crispa”, which means “curled (弯曲的)”. The food can be served in many different ways. Sweet crepes can include fruit, chocolate or cream. When they are served as part of a light lunch or a dinner meal, they may include ingredients such as meat, cheese or vegetables. Usually, crepes either appear in a half-moon or triangle shape, or rolled up like a newspaper.Food and culture go hand in hand. ________The best crepes should have a smooth taste. To produce smooth crepes, the batter (面糊) must be very thin and light. Even with the smoothest batter, the first crepe out of the pan is usually not a success, so it is traditionally offered to the dog or the cat raised by a family. Since crepes come from France, French people have a special holiday just to celebrate thisfood. The Day of the Crepes falls on February 2. On the day of the holiday, one tradition is to throw a crepe and catch it in the pan held in your right hand while holding a gold coin in your left hand. If you succeed, you will have good luck all year round!Crepes might be the result of a “happy accident”, but it is not by accident (偶然的) that this delicious food has been filling stomachs for centuries.34．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “ingredient” in Paragraph 2?A．Form.B．Character.C．Material.D．Taste. 35．What usually happens to the first crepe out of the pan?A．It is usually eaten by the family pet.B．It is usually a very successful one.C．It is usually thrown away carelessly.D．It is usually given to the little kid. 36．Which sentence may be the best to fill in “________” in Paragraph 4?A．It is a tradition to make very thin and light batter.B．It is a tradition to throw a crepe to have good luck.C．It is hard to talk about food without talking about the quality behind it.D．It is hard to talk about food without talking about the customs (风俗) behind it. 37．What does the writer most probably try to say through the last paragraph?A．It is surprising that crepes are still popular today.B．Many foods were the results of happy accidents.C．Crepes have made people feel full for centuries.D．Crepes is still popular though longtime has passed.Did you know that vocabulary (词汇) is more important than grammar? If you have good vocabulary, you can communicate successfully, even if the grammar is not completely perfect.However, one common problem is learning new words and then forgetting them. So when you want to use a new word in a conversation, you can’t remember it at that moment. Does this often happen to you? The reason for this difficulty is that most students try to learn vocabulary by studying lists and dictionaries and remembering the words. But it may not work if you don’t have a very good memory.The best way to learn vocabulary and remember the words successfully, is to learn new words and use them at once. You can do this with a very simple exercise. Every time youlearn a new word, for example, from an English lesson or an article, write it down in your vocabulary notebook. Writing is more active than just reading a definition (释义). You should write the word, the definition in English or translation, one example sentence from the article or dictionary and one example sentence that you create.Imagine you just learn the word “generous”, write in your vocabulary notebook: generous (adjective), definition—giving or willing to give freely. Example one, from the article: Thanks for paying for my dinner, you’re very generous. Example two, my example: My brother is generous because he volunteers at the animal shelter on weekends. It’s best if your example sentences are true to your life, because this creates a personal connection with the new word. The next day, read your vocabulary notebook again and try to add one more example sentence using the new word. It’s helpful for you to remember it. These two simple steps—writing the word and using it at once—help you remember and use new words.Do you have a vocabulary notebook? If not, start now.38．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?A．The problem.B．The new word.C．The conversation.D．The dictionary. 39．What’s the correct order of the following steps of taking vocabulary notes?①Make your own example sentence.①Write the word, its English definition or translation.①Copy an example sentence from the article or dictionary.①Read your notebook again and add one more example sentence.A．①①①①B．①①①①C．①①①①D．①①①①40．How can we make the best example sentences according to the writer?A．By asking for help from friends.B．By explaining words’ definitions.C．By connecting them with our life.D．By adding words from the article. 41．What’s the best title for the passage?A．Tips for Translating Words B．Advice on Using GrammarC．Abilities of Creating Examples D．Ways of Learning New WordsSometimes I really doubt (怀疑) whether there is love between my parents. They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too luxurious (奢侈的) for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day isOne day, mom was sewing a quilt (被子). I silently sat down beside her and looked at her.“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice.My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. She didn’t answer immediately.I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her. But at last I heard my mother say these words.“Lily,” she said, “look at this thread (线). Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable (耐用的). If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there. Love is inside.”I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked very pale.After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. My father had never been so gentle. It seemed that they were the most harmonious couple. The sun gently glistened through the leaves. All of these made up the most beautiful picture in the world.The doctor said my father would recover in two months. But after two months he still couldn’t walk by himself. All of us were worried about him.“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.“Lily, don’t worry about me,” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.” Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.42．Why does Lily sometimes doubt whether there is real love between her parents?A．Because they are very busy earning money.B．Because they often act in unpleasant ways.C．Because her father is easy to lose his temper to her mother.D．Because his father often says “I love you” just to his children.43．Which of the following is similar to the underlined phrase “out of the question” in Para.1?A．Possible.B．Impossible.C．Necessary.D．Unnecessary. 44．What made her father change so greatly?A．The real love from her mother.B．The thread of the quilt.C．The beautiful scenery of the country road.D．All the other members of thefamily.45．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．We should understand our parents however old they are.B．Love is something we can’t see and that makes life strong and warm.C．We really need love because it makes our life meaningful.D．Love is so important to everyone that we must love everyone.Success does not belong to a select group of individuals. Success belongs to those who are willing to go after it and try their best to do what they have to do. Here are some useful practical ways for you if you want to be a success.Desire. Desire is the strong wish to achieve a goal. Without desire, you have nothing. Before you can run with desire, your goal must be plain, clear, and it must also be exciting.Show up. Seventy percent of success in life is showing up. You can’t have a best seller if you have never written a book. You can’t get your dream job if you’re afraid to turn in an application. Showing up doesn’t guarantee （保证）success, but if you don’t show up, you will never succeed.Fail. If you’re not willing to have a try, fail unhappily, and have another try, success won’t happen. To have success, you have to do things the right way, but often the only way to do something right is to first fail at it. As Thomas J. Watson said, a simple formula （公式）for success is to double your rate of failure（失败）. So welcome failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed.Work harder. Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day. Success is not about doing what the common person can’t do. It’s about doing what the common person is unwilling to do. And on a deeper level, it’s about creating habits that the common person is unwilling to create. It’s the habit of doing things with excellence that causes success.Enjoy the journey. Success is a journey, not a destination（终点）. Success is not a certaincar or a certain house or a certain happy marriage. Success is the enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey.Someone once said, “Unless you change how you are, you will always have what you’ve got.” You have to change, you will change, and you will succeed.46．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in achieving success?A．Good education.B．Working hard.C．Strong desire.D．Enjoying failure.47．What does the writer really mean by saying “Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day.”?A．It’s not easy for people to develop their health.B．Keeping working harder is necessary when you go after success.C．You are sure to meet with some difficulty in your life.D．Most people don’t want to spend too much time running.48．What does the writer mostly want to tell us in the fourth paragraph?A．Failure is the mother of success.B．Many hands make light work.C．Every dog has its day.D．Actions speak louder than words. 49．Which of the following is TRUE about success according to the passage?A．If you want to succeed, you should have special talents.B．If you want to succeed, you’d better not show up.C．Success means the enjoyment of your gain or loss on the journey.D．Success is about doing what the common person can’t do.50．The best title of the passage might be ________.A．Failure is the mother of success B．Try harder and you will succeedC．The importance of success D．Some practical ways to success四、根据汉语提示填空五、根据英文解释填空again) it for me.54．—You look worried these days.

It seems so hard.— Don’t worry. I it with you in a minute.八、汉译英：单词/短语将下列短语翻译成英语。
