The three pieces of news all have something to do with ______ .A. environmentB. entertainmentC. cultureD. creationBEvery month，Julia and her cousins would go for the big family meal at their grandparents' house.On each visit，their grandpa would give them a few coins.Then all the children would run off to buy sweets.One day，he gathered the children together.He said，"Let's have a competition to see who can manage money wisely.At the end of this year，tell me how you've you're your money."Ruben and Nico，the two smallest kids，continued spending their money all on sweets.Every time，they would show off their sweets in front of the other children.This made Clara and Joe so angry that these two could no longer keep saving their money.They soon joined Ruben and Nico.Monty was a clever boy.He decided to manage his money by buying and selling things.Soon he made a lot of money with little effort，The way he was going，he would end up almost a rich man.However，he began to spend his money on more and more expensive things for himself.A few months later，he hadn't a single penny （便士）left.Alex saved and saved all the coins he was given，and at the end of the year he had collected more money than anyone.He was the clear winner.There was also Julia.Poor Julia hadn't a penny on the day of the competition.She had spent all her coins on her secret plan.Julia knew a poor violinist who played in the park，and she offered him all the coins for his violin lessons.Although it wasn't much money，on seeing Julia's excitement，the violinist agreed.A little after a year the violinist loaned her a violin so they two could play together in the park.They were so successful that she managed to buy her own violin.Even better，she later became a very famous violinist.36. Why did the children's grandpa suggest the competition to them？______A. To encourage them to win competitions.B. To teach them how to manage their money.C. To tell them money was important to them.D.

A Happy FamilyCSo，it's exam time again.Have you done the necessary work to get good marks？Sleeping with the textbook under the pillow （枕头）doesn't work.The best way is to space your practice out，rather than cram （塞）it all together.Just as a scientist called Tom Stafford advises，if you organize five hours of study into one hour a day，you'll remember more than if you study for five hours on one day. ★Get pens and paper and start working!Students who can test themselves earlier will be better at retrieving the knowledge from the memory and keep it in the long run.John Dunlosky，a professor in the US，suggests that "you start by reading a textbook you're your favorite pens and colors，and then write down the important ideas on small cards while doing so，you actually try to test yourselves on them."Good revision （复习）should give you confidence，but if you are still worried，it's not harmful to follow some special customs.In Japan it seems to be a tradition for students to eat Katsudon before a test.This is a bowl of rice with egg and pork pieces.The name of the dish makes people think of the word "Katsu"，meaning "winning".For some students in South Korea，the key to success is not washing their hair before an exam，because they believe they could wash all the knowledge out of their heads.And in different parts of the world，there are always those who believe in their "lucky underwear".The bottom line is that you need to study，eat a good meal，sleep well on the eve of the test，and believe that your efforts will pay off.Good luck in your exam!41. When you "space your practice out"，you ______ .A. spend 5 hours preparing for a testB. study for at least 5 hours on one dayC. sleep with your textbook under the pillowD. organize 5 hours of study into one hour a day42. The underlined word "retrieving" would probably mean ______ .A. getting backB. filling inC. giving awayD. leaving out43. Which sentence can be best put in ★in paragraph 2？______A. Don't read your textbooks early.B. Don't depend on memory alone.C. Don't test yourselves very often.D. Don't worry about tests too much.44. Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 3？______A. Special customs will truly bring good luck to people in Japan.B. The word "Katsudon" sounds similar to "winning" in South Korea.C. Some people might wear special underwear before important events.D. In some countries，washing hair brings bad luck after having exams.45. What does the writer advise students to do before tests？______A. Do more exercise and take it easy.B. Choose your favorite pens and stay up late.C. Prepare your exams well and be confident.D. Follow some customs and enjoy yourselves.四、选词填空-短文（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）46.(1) Wang Tao set up a ______ to make beautiful art pieces by using materials from old cars.(2) I get such a ______ feeling of satisfaction when I see the animals get better.(3) Hometowns are the places that ______ all the best childhood memories.(4) In many eastern European countries，you should ______ your gloves before shaking hands.(5) The ancient emperors built the Great Wall to ______ their part of the country.五、阅读填空（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）47.

So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.The next important date in the history of photography was in 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see things very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype.Soon, other people began to use Daguerre's way. Travellers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains.In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of films and other machines.Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike.Photography also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were nor just copies of the real world. They showed their feelings, like other kinds of art.1．The first photo taken by Niepce was a picture of__________________ .A．his business B．his house C．his garden D．his window2．The Daguerreotype was______________ .A．a Frenchman B．a kind of pictureC．a kind of camera D．a photographer3．If a photographer wanted to take pictures of moving things in the year of 1840, he had to________________________ .

He sat on a park bench, head in hands, wondering if anything could save his company.Suddenly an old man appeared in front of him. “I can see that something is troubling you,” he said. After listening to the businessman’s trouble, the old man said, “I believe I can help you.”He asked the man his name, wrote out a check（支票）and pushed it into his hand, saying, “Take this money. Meet me here exactly one year from today, and you can pay me back at that time.” Then he turned and disappeared.The businessman saw his hand a check for $500,000, signed by John D．Rockefeller. One of the richest man in the world. “It can solve my problem at once!” the businessman realized. But instead, he decided to put the check in his safe. Just knowing it was there that might give him the strength（力量）to work out a way to save his business, he thought.With renewed optimism（乐观精神）, he did better in his business. Within a few months, he was out of debt and making money once again.Exactly one year later, he returned to the park with the check. At the agreed-upon（约定的）time, the old man appeared. But just as the businessman was about to hand back the check and share his successful story, a nurse came running up and caught the old man.“I’m so glad I caught him!” she cried. “I hope he hasn’t been troubling you.

She grips a branch with the rough pads and sharp claws on her paws. In her pouch (小袋) she hides something special—her baby.At birth the baby koala, called a joey, does not look like his furry mom. He is pink and bald（无毛的）and as small as a jellybean. Although he cannot see, he moves his legs and crawls. He smells milk and, without any help, starts to feel his way to his mother’s pouch. Five minutes later he slips (滑) inside.Inside the pouch, the joey drinks his mother’s milk and grows. His eyes open. His ears form, and he hears his mother’s calls. Soon thick fur covers his body. By the time the joey is ready to explore the world, he looks like his mother.At five months old, the joey peers out of his pouch. He eats a special soft food from his mother called pap. When the joey eats pap, he gets bacteria（细菌）from his mother’s stomach in his tummy too. He wi ll need the bacteria to eat eucalyptus leaves, like grownup koalas do.In another month, the joey leaves the pouch for the first time. He clings（贴着）to his mother’s belly while she climbs in the treetops. By the time he is eight months old, the joey no long er fits in his mother’s pouch. But he still drinks her milk.Now, for a few hours each night, the joey climbs on his mother’s back for a ride. While riding piggyback, he reaches for eucalyptus leaves. Just like mom, he nips (咬) off leaves and chews them. The leaves have plenty of water in them, so koalas rarely go to the ground for a drink. When the joey is about one year old, his piggyback days are over. Now he climbs to the treetops by himself. On each of his front paws, he has two thumbs opposite his three fingers. He can grip branches and grab leaves.The young koala spends more and more time away from his mother. He no longer drinks her milk. He dozes (打瞌睡，打盹) alone on tree branches. Soon he will move to another tree and live on his own.1．When a joey is eight months old, it can _________.A．eats a food called papB．rides on his mother’s backC．sleeps on tree branchesD．clings to his mother’s belly2．A joey stops drinking its mother’s milk when it is about_______.A．one year old B．six months oldC．eight months old D．five months old3．Paragraph 2 is mainly about_________.A．the name of a baby koalaB．what a newborn koala is likeC．the size of a baby koalaD．what kind of fur a newborn koala has4．The author most likely wrote this passage to________.A．introduce readers about baby koalasB．tell a funny story about a baby koalaC．encourage people to protect baby koalasD．compare a baby koala to other baby animalsF18、阅读理解（20 小题，每小题2 分，共40 分）One day Mrs Black visited her family doctor, Mr Dodd. Mr Dodd was an old funny man with a beard. “What’s the problem ?” the doctor asked her. “I am very worried about my son, Jake,” Mrs Black said, “I can’t stop him from betting. He spends all his money betting on horse races. And even worse he’ll bet on everything.It doesn’t matter what it is.” The doctor said, “I’ve saved many people from gambling before. Send him to me.”The next day Mrs Black sent her son to see the doctor. While they were talking , the boy was looking at the doctor’s beard. Suddenly he said, “I bet you $ 50 that your beard is not a real one.” “Oh, no, ” the doctor said. “Can I pull your beard and find out ?” the boy said. The doctor thought this is a good way to teach him a lesson; so he said, “Ok, if my beard is real , you will have to pay me $ 50.” The boy pulled it and soon found out it was real. The doctor laughed. Two days later the doctor telephoned Mrs Black, “I think I’ve saved your son.” He told her the story. But Mrs Black said, “You’re wrong. You’ve made him worse.” “How can that be ?”the doctor asked . “Before he went to see you, he bet me $ 100 that you would ask him to pull your beard !”根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。

Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own. But, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life: Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups. At your school canteen（食堂）, use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.1．Why do many hotels provide guests with some disposable things?A．Wish their guests to save money.B．Let their guests be convenient during their traveling.C．Hope their guests use less disposable things.2．From June, Beijing hotels will no longer provide guests with ____.A．cheap food and drink B．disposable things C．good service3．Which of the following is NOT true?A．Throwing disposable things away is a waste of natural resources.B．Plastic breaks down easily.C．Many disposable things are made of plastic.4．What can we do to make our world a better place at home and school?A．Use shopping bags made of plastic.B．Do not throw away paper cups.C．Do not forget to reuse daily necessities（日用品）if possible.5．We can learn from the passage that ____.A．people don't like disposable things at allB．we can't use paper or plastic bowls at schoolC．we should use less plastic things and protect our environmentC15、What do you do when you feel unhappy? Do you listen to music? Do you talk to a friend?Maybe next time you feel sad, you should try going outside if it is sunny. Doctors know that how much sunlight we get can change how we feel. Scientists learned this by interviewing people who live in different parts of the world. In the far north, in Alaska or Finland, for example, the days are very short in the winter. People living in these places say that they often feel unhappy in the winter. In the south, where there are more daylight hours, few people say they are unhappy in the winter. The reason is the amount of sunlight these people get each day. Sunlight changes the chemicals in our bodies, and these chemicals can change the way we feel. A couple of hours of strong light or light from a special lamp can help your body make the chemicals that make us feel happy.Another way to feel happier is to get some exercise. Just like sunlight, regular exercise helps our bodies make certain chemicals, which make us feel happier. In addition, exercise helps people sleep better and lack of sleep often makes people feel unhappy. Exercise also helps you get rid of stress.

The school was across the street from our home and I wouldoften watch the kids as they played during break.I remember the first day when I saw him playing basketball. He ran circles around the other kids. He managed to shoot jump shots from their heads and into the net. The big boys always tried to stop him but no one could.One day, I met him and asked him why he practiced so much. Without a moment of hesitation he said, "I want to go to college. The only way I can go is to get a scholarship. I am going to play college basketball. I want to be the best. My daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don't count.I watched him through those junior high school and into senior high school. Every week, he led his school team to victoryOne day in his senior year, I saw him sitting in the grass with head in his arms. I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside him. Quietly I asked what was wrong. "Oh, nothing," came a soft reply, "I am just too short." The coach told him that he would probably never get to play for a top ranked team-much less offered a scholarship. So she should stop dreaming about college.He was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed his disappointment. I asked him if he had talked to his dad about it yet. He told me that his father said those coaches were wrong. They just did not understand the power of a dream. He told him that if he truly wanted a scholarship and that nothing could stop him except one thing-his own attitude. He told him again, “If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.”The next year, as he and his team went to the Northern California Championship game, he was offered a scholarship.
