Somewhere down the mountain, some volunteer doctors were teaching medical skills to village nurses. Amy heard Betty drive off hours ago. “She should have taken me with her. She thinks I’m too young,” Amy thought. “But she’s wrong. I am already 15!”Amy carried the milk back to Mama, and then wandered up the road. Roy, a village boy, was trying to stand on a horse’s back. “No wonder they don’t trust kids with anything important,” Amy thought.She had just turned away when she heard a heavy fall and a few cries. Roy was on the ground. “Roy!” The kids nearby ran towards him. “Get Betty,” one said. Amy shook her head. “Betty’s gone to the city.”The kids didn’t know what to do.

She remembered what the first-aid book said about it.“Victor!” Amy called to one of the boys. “Go get Roy’s mama, and find someone with a truck.” She turned to the others. “Give me your shirts. We need something to tie his leg with.”Amy then found a strong, straight stick. She carefully wrapped the shirts around Roy’s leg and the stick. Roy cried out in pain. “I know it hurts,” Amy said softly. “But this will hold it still until you get to the hospital.”When A my was done, she looked up and saw Roy’s mama and a man watching beside a truck. “Thank you, Amy,” Roy’s mama said.

That’s an important skill.”Amy’s face turned red. “I was afraid...”Betty shook her head. “It’s OK for a nurse to be afraid, as long as she has a clear head.

His friends and family call him “Big Feng” because he is very tall and played basketball as a young man. But he is also big in a different way—he fights hard to protect China’s past. His real name is Feng Jicai and he has written many novels about life in China.Several years ago, however, he put down his pen for a while and began to protect the cultural relics （文化遗产）in Tianjin where he lived. Once someone asked him why he no longer wrote. He replied that at the moment he felt protecting cultural relics was more important.Feng loves his hometown. He believes that old things must be given a place next to new things, or people will soon forget their great past. He does not make speeches to get others to help him in his projects. Instead, he goes out and does what he can himself. If others follow him, so much the better. One of his biggest projects was to protect the oldest street in Tianjin. Along that street some shops had been in business for seven hundred years. Although the city government rebuilt this street, they did save its oldest building. Another project was more successful: he suggested the city government reserve（保留）some land in the centre of the city so it could not be sold for business. This area is very important for the history of Tianjin. It was here that the city was first built during the Song Dynasty Later many treasures were found here.To Feng, digging down into the earth is like reading a book page after page. Each dynasty found in the earth is like an interesting story. Not long ago, he and other writers and artists took photos of the old parts of Tianjin. The photos were put into a book which was very popular. The money from the book helps his projects. Once, an old man asked Feng to sign a book for him, saying he would give it to his grandson who was not yet born. Feng was glad to do it he knows that the past is not only for us to enjoy but also for the children of the future.1.

Which of the following will Big Feng agree to?A．Old things should give way to the new things.B．The government should reserve more land in the city centre.C．Protecting cultural relics was as important as writing.D．Children of the future should get to know the past.4.

With two in five plant species at risk（风险） of disappearance, the Germplasm Bank of Wild Species（野生生物种质资源库）, or GBOWS, in Yunnan Province is racing against time to protect the nation’s plant species.Founded in 2007, GBOWS is a research and preservation（保存）bank for rare and endangered plants and animals. As the largest bank of wild species in Asia in terms of species, GBOWS has preserved 85,046 seeds from 10,601 species and 60, 262 biological samples（生物样本）of 2,203 animal species. The numbe r of seeds at GBOWS is close to that of the world’s biggest seed bank —the Millennium Seed Bank in the United Kingdom.So how does the bank work? Scientists collect the endangered and useful wild species and send them to the seed bank. Once the seeds arri ve at GBOWS, they’re dried and preserved in a special room. X-rays will make sure the seeds are undamaged and no insects are hidden inside after they are cleaned and separated（使……分离） from broken ones. The seeds are then frozen, preserved in glass bottles and placed in a huge room at -20 ℃ for long-term preservation. Each bottle has a barcode(条形码). By scanning it, scientists can view detailed information about the seeds inside.The bank works with many international organizations on collection, exchange and research. It has 2,176 sets of seeds from 45 countries and regions, with each set including thousands of seeds.“As China has rich and special plant and animal species, we plan to increase the number of our collections and make further research to protect endangered species,” says Li Pei, a worker at GBOWS. “If the world ends one day, these collections will bring hope of a new beginning to life on Earth.”1. Which of the following is correct?A．GBOWS has 10,601 animal species in total.B．All of the seeds at GBOWS are found in China.C．Other Asian banks have fewer wild species than GBOWS.D．The number of seeds at GBOWS is the largest in the world.2.

I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh word to anyone or about anyone.Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a huge garden. They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbors watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden. As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben's beans, we all wished we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard.Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighborhood over for an "all-day food fest （集会）". We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We didn't know what was about to take place.By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra, and squash. By 10:00 am, there was lots of laughter. We shared a lot of stories. By five o'clock,everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we played games. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty of the day,already packaged and frozen. What a delightful gift!Well, the point wasn't so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another's company. None of it would have happened if it had been for Happy and Ben's garden.

I hope it haunts your houses pleasantly.By Charles DickensOne Christmas Eve, old Scrooge and Bob were working busily in his office. It was a cold,foggy day. The fog was so thick that the houses opposite were like ghosts. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, but it was already quite dark."Merry Christmas, Uncle! God bless you!" cried a happy voice. It was Scrooge's nephew （侄子）."Bah!" said Scrooge "Humbug （骗人的话）!""Christmas is a humbug?! Surely you don't mean that, Uncle." said his nephew."I do," said Scrooge. "Merry Christmas! What reason have you got to be merry? You're poor."4"OK, then," replied the nephew cheerfully. "What reason have you got to be sad? You are rich. Don't be angry, Uncle!" said his nephew."What else can I be?" answered the uncle, "I live in a world of fools! Merry Christmas!What's Christmas time to you? It's a time for paying bills without money. It's a time for finding yourself a year older, but not richer. Everyone who goes around saying "Merry Christmas"should have his tongue cut out. Yes, he should!""Uncle! Please don't say that!" said the nephew. "I've always thought of Christmas time as a good time, a kind, and a charitable （慈善的） and happy time. And so, Uncle, Christmas has never put any gold or silver in my pocket, but I think it has done me good. And it will do me good. I'm sure."Bob, standing in the corner of the room, applauded. He realized his mistake very soon, and went quickly back to his work, but Scrooge had heard him."One more sound from you, Bob Cratehit," said Scrooge, "and you'll celebrate Christmas by losing your job!""Don't be angry with him, Uncle. Come and have dinner with us tomorrow." said Scrooge's nephew."No," said Scrooge."I'm sorry that you don't want to celebrate Christmas. But I do. So a Merry Christmas,Uncle!""Good afternoon!" said Scrooge."And a Happy New Year!" said his nephew."Good afternoon!" said Scrooge again.His nephew left the room.

People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often. For example, someone might say that he tries to avoid eating sweets because they are unhealthy, but will eat chocolate "once in a blue moon". Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say "I visit the shore once in a blue moon." While many people use this phrase, not everyone knows the meaning behind it.The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue. This is just an expression fact, the phrase "blue moon" has to do with the shape of the moon, not the color.As the moon travels around the earth, it appears to change shape. We associate names with certain shapes of the moon. For example, when we can see a small part of the moon is called a crescent moon. A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip of a fingernail （指甲尖）.When we cannot see the moon at all, it is called a new moon. When we can see the whole moon is called a full moon. Usually, there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes,however will be two full moons in one month. When this happens, the second full moon is called a blue moon".Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see, a blue moon every rare event. This fact has led people to use the expression "once in a blue moon" to other very rare events in their lives.5 A.B.Which of the following would be a good example of using the phrase "once in a bluemoon"?Simon often tells jokes.

She looked outside and walked back，because it was so dark that she was scared.Her mother said，“Don’t be afraid，honey. Take courage!”“What’s courage?” she asked，running to her mother’s bed.“Courage is the brave breath，” her mother answered.“Mum，do you have courage?”“Certainly!”The girl held out her hands，saying，“Mum，please blow some of your courage breath to me.”After her mother blew out two mouthfuls of breath into her little cold hands，the little girl held her hands nervously ，afraid that the “breath of courage” would run away. Then，she walked out of her bedroom towards the bathroom with nothing to fear.Her mother said to herself，“ It will be nice if someone can blow some kind of “breath” to me. Then I can hold it in my hands too when I feel afraid or lost.”In fact，mostly，what we are afraid of is nothing but the fear in our mind. Who we should beat against is nobody but ourselves.1．（小题1）The girl woke up in the midnight to_____________.A．watch TV B．go to the bathroomC．have some food D．drink water2．（小题2）The girl walked back because____________.A．the bathroom was far awayB．her mother wouldn’t go with herC．she was too afraid of the darkD．the bedroom door was locked3．（小题3）What did the girl ask her mother to do?A．To blow some courage breath.B．To go to the bathroom with her.C．To cook some food for her.D．To tell her some funny stories.4．（小题4）To keep “mother’s breath” from running away，the girl __________.A．held her own breathB．talked to her motherC．held her little handsD．ran to her bedroom quickly5．（小题5）The writer mainly wants to tell us that______________A．adults are always brave enoughB．children learn to be brave quicklyC．the fear in mind is the real problemD．mothers can deal with anything with breathB14、In Europe, small cars have always been more popular than large cars. In the United States, large cars and midsize cars are more popular than smaller cars. As a result, European automakers used to make different kinds of small cars while American automakers used to build bigger, heavier cars. However, these days, automakers in both America and Europe produce cars of different sizes. This is because most automakers export their cars all over the world.The price of gasoline (汽油)is one reason for differences in car choices. Since gasoline is more expensive in Europe, many Europeans want smaller, lighter cars that will travel a long way on a gallon（加仑）of gasoline.Other reasons also enter into the big or little car decision. Many European cities have narrow, winding（弯曲的）streets. In these cities a small car is easier to control than a large one.For a long time, few Americans bought small cars. Instead they chose large cars, because these roomy cars were more comfortable for large families and long trips. Some people also liked the powerful engines（发动机）that large cars had. Since gasoline was cheap, drivers did not mind that the large cars used a lot of gasoline.But in the 1970s, there were gasoline shortages in the United States. The price of gasoline went up. Though large cars were still more popular than smaller cars, sales of small cars increased. Some people also bought small cars because these cars caused less air pollution than larger cars.Today, Americans' car preferences are still changing. Though Americans are still buying many small cars, the fastest growing sales are for certain kinds of large cars. These types of cars are called minivans and sport utility vehicles(SUV). They are very popular today. But of course, that could change tomorrow.1．In the 1970s, .A．large cars were less popular than smaller cars.B．European cars finally came to the United States.C．the price of gasoline went up in the United States.D．people in the United States stopped buying small cars.2．Which of the following does the article lead you to believe?A．Sport utility vehicles small cars.B．Minivans are becoming less popular.C．European car companies sell many cars in America.D．Cars with powerful engines caused less air pollution.3．What does “roomy” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．having much space B．having little spaceC．having a large room D．having a small room4．What can we infer（推断）from the article?A．Small cars are better than large cars.B．The price of gasoline is always rising.C．Large cars will always be popular in the United States.D．People like to have different kinds of cars to choose from.C15、Every place you leave becomes a memory. Even if you return to visit，in your mind it’s as it was when you left.I consider New Y ork City my second hometown. You fight your way into New York City. It isn’t easy. It isn’t cheap. Itisn’t so friendly. So when I got to Helsinki，the capital of Finland，I was surprised at how easy it was. People were friendly and nice. They are curious about what I thought of Finland.Except the coffee and the cost of living，Helsinki and New York don’t have much in common，but I was born in the US Midwest，which was heavily influenced by North Europe. So the life of Finland seemed familiar to that of the US. Still，I missed New Y ork，I visited it last year，and I went to my old coffee room，still in the same place. Although it was 2014，my mind insisted that it was 2007 and I had never left. The waiter looked at me silently，reaching for the same size cup and pouring the same type of coffee I always got. Same corner，same waiter，same coffee.To the waiter，he guessed maybe I moved to another neighborhood. He wouldn’t guess from my appearance that I haven’t even been in the country. He didn’t find that there was anything different until I opened my mouth. It was something I said，I’m sure. He mistook me for one of the tourists who got lost on their way from Times Square.In my mind，this is my home. It was the place when I dreamed of my childhood，long after I left it; and now I am the same as the other tourists with the packbag.1．Helsinki is in __________.A．Finland B．AmericaC．New York D．China2．Compared with Helsinki，the life in New York City is _________.A．easy B．cheap C．difficult D．nice3．The writer’s real place of birth is _________.A．New York City B．HelsinkiC．Finland D．the US Midwest4．How long had the writer been away from New Y ork before he visited it last year?A．5 B．7 C．9 D．105．What made the coffee guy think the writer to be a tourist?A．What he looked. B．What he wore.C．What he said. D．What he did.D16、阅读理解1．How many holiday ideas does http：//usaholidays．com offer?A．2．B．100 ．C．3．D．4．5．What is covered in the National Scenic Byways Program?A．Exciting cycling．B．Memorable roads．C．Photos provided．D．SeaWorld visit．6．Which of the following is the best website for reviews of hotels?A．Http：//byways．org．B．Http：//usaholidays．com．C．Http：//www．oyster．com．D．Http：// seaworldparks．com．E17、“I had a Welsh speaking test. I'd had to memorize a paragraph in front of the whole class. I just couldn’t do it,” says 13-year-old Mary. “I pretended to be ill.” But Mary did not enjoy her day off. “I watched TV all day — it was boring. I wished I had gone to school.”Mary’s story is not unusual in Britain. According to the latest government figures, pupil absences are rising, despite schools_________on truancy (逃学)．Philippa James, a PhD researcher a t Cardiff University’s school of social sciences, thinks she knows why: “The more schools improve methods of detection（检查）, the more children work out better methods of deception.” Teenagers told her it was now harder to skip a single lesson, so they’d mis s whole days to avoid being caught.For several years, James has researched student truancy of 60 teenagers, aged 13 and 14, including Mary, to see how the teenagers truant, for how long, and why.Through online conversations and face-to-face interviews, s he discovered that most truancy was “a response to factors within the school”. Truants are not necessarily less advanced or less intelligent. They complained of teachers who failed to engage them, and of “boring” lessons. “Many truants really enjoy school and believe in education, but drop out when aspects of it were ineffective.” James says.The views of students like Adam, who believes that skipping lessons has little impact on his schooling, were common. “I only take-off for a lesson, or a couple of days. It doesn’t affect my education,” he told James.James’ study concludes that schools need to address the question of why pupils want to leave in the first place. “Pupils need help from the start.” she says. “It’s a two-way process – schools must be responsive. We need to look at the reasons for truancy rather than the number, so that instead of walking away from school, students have the skills and chances to talk through problems and make a change.”1．What is one of the reasons for school truancy accordin g to James’ study?A．Truants are fallen behind in their studies.B．Truants have no interest in school subjects.C．Truants have more interesting things to do.D．Truants are not satisfied with the teachers.2．The underlined phrase “taking a hard line” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to“”.A．experiencing a problem with B．having a strict attitude towardsC．finding it difficult to solve D．having little success with3．By citing Adam's remark, James wants to show that .A．school education is not efficient and needs improvementB．it’s a popular belief that occasional truancy won't cause much harmC．school truancy is becoming more serious and needs more concernD．even good students may sometimes need a break from school4．What is Philippa James’ suggestion to schools?A．Schools should solve the problem of teachers.B．Schools should be more active in helping beginner truants.C．Schools should have a better control of hidden truants.D．Schools should find out who truant and how they it.F18、I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, andmy mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, andsome people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I wassaying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I wasgoing to see-the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country Iwas leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism (乐观主义), but the idea did notcome to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost-having to study in threeschools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and Igot used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule：Almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.1．How did the author get to know America?A．From her relatives. B．From her mother.C．From books and pictures. D．From radio programs.2．The writer felt_______ upon leaving for America.A．worried B．upset C．amazed D．excited3．For the first two years in New York, the author .A．often lost her wayB．did not think about her futureC．studied in three different schoolsD．got on well with her stepfather4．What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?A．She worked as a translator.B．She attended a lot of job interviews.C．She paid telephone bills for her family.D．She helped her family with her English. .5．The author believes that .A．her future will be free from troublesB．it is difficult to learn to become patientC．there are more good things than bad thingsD．good things will happen if one keeps tryingⅤ.书面表达19、写作身为中学生，关爱儿童是我们应尽的义务。
