The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so tired that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to stop himself from falling into the water.The swan pretended not to notice and said, "Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?""No, " said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. "I'm in trouble because of my pride! If you don't help me, I'll lose my life...

As teenagers, you have many dreams．These can be very big such as winning the Nobel Prize．Or they can be small, you may just want to become one of the best students in your class．Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Have you ever tried to make your dream real? Follow Your Heart by an Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams real is life's biggest challenge（挑战）．You may think you are not very good at some school subjects, or it is impossible for you to become a writer．These kinds of thoughts stop you from realizing your dream, the book says．In fact, everyone can make his dream come true．The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is．Don't let it leave your heart．Keep telling yourself what youwant．Do this step by step, and your dream will come true because a big dream, infact, comes from many small dreams．You must also never give up your dream．There will be difficulties on the way to your dreams．But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself．You need to decide what is the most important．Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book．As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little．This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests．（1）What is Follow Your Heart？________A The first thing you must do to make your dream real．B The most important dream to have for teenagers．C The name of the book by Andrew Matthews．D The name of the famous Australian writer．（2）If you want to make your dream real，you should________．A remember what your dream is．B keep telling yourself what you want．C never be afraid of difficulties．D try to start with all the things above．21. Have you ever wondered（疑惑）what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom? Or in a waiting room, full of strangers? Or on abus? Researchers（研究者）have found out some interesting facts．Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys．Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near．But it goes further than this．We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us．People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses．People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair．We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar experiences and we are more likely to be accepted场people like ourselves, or even, we think we may be safer with people who look like us．Sometimes that's true but it's a pity if we always stay with the same people, the same group．The danger always staying in our comfort zone（舒适区）is that we just recycle the same opinions, the same tastes and the same ideas．We lose the chance to learn something new, find out interesting things, hear funny stories and find differences．When we always stay with the same people, how can we break down the barriers（隔阂）which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas? And how can we avoid the ignorance（无知）? If you want to live in a society that opens to changes, new things and different opinions, be the cat among the pigeons（鸽子）．Move out of your comfort zone．Go and sit next to someone different．And don't just sit there without any words．Say hello．Ask a question．Start a conversation．That's how we make friends．That's how we learn about people．That's how we open our minds to new ideas．That's how we live an exciting life．（1）People like staying in their comfort zone because they may________．A remain comfortable and special．B find out more interesting things．C be accepted easily and feel safe．D discover differences among themselves．（2）The sentence"Unsurprisingly，we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves．"should be put at the beginning of________A Paragraph 1．B Paragraph 2．C Paragraph 3．D Paragraph 4．（3）What is the purpose of the article？________A To tell us not to talk with strangers．B To introduce ways to learn about the world．C To explain how people communicate with foreigners．D To encourage（鼓励）us to get along with different people．22. At sunrise in a fishing port of eastern Spain（西班牙）, several fishing boats have already set out．These fishermen were hunting for fish, ________ and plastic bottles．They were working for ECOAIF, a local clothing company．Since July, the company has been working with the fishermen to pick up plastic rubbish in the Mediterranean（地中海）．The rubbish willbe used to make fashinable clothes．"Where others see rubbish, we see raw material, "said Javier Goyeneche, president（董事长）of ECOAIF．"We're showing that through recycling, we are able to create（创造）fashion．"ECOAIF was founded in 2010．The Spanish company now sells its clothes made from rubbish in big cities around the world．Goyeneche said the clothes had been very popular in the US, Japan and some European countries．"People really love it, "Goyeneche added．"Today's customers（顾客）are showing more and more interest in environmenal protection．Besides, clothes made from rubbish are very light．They are really comfortable and cheap．"（1）What may the underlined word"shrimps"be？________A A kind of seafood．B A kind of plant．C A kind of bird．D A kind of flower．（2）What is ECOAIF according to the passage？________A A famous person．B A clothing company．C A social organization．D A number of dustbins．（3）The workers in ECOAIF can make clothes________．A through recycling．B from expensive material．C from cheapmaterial． D from the rubbish on the land．（4）Which of the following is NOT the reason why people like clothes made from rubbish？________A People are interested in environmental protection．B The clothes made from rubbish are very light．C The clothes made from rubbish are very cheap．D People like all kinds of rubbish in the ocean．23. It is believed in some ways that the daughter is father's lover．But my experience has taught me in a different way．For a long time．my father has been a very vague figure（模糊形象）to me．He was a man of few words, tall but slim and nothing else．When I was in primary school．my father was never there to pick inc up, and he never came to any of my parent﹣teacher meetings．He was always busy doing projects．Iremember when I was in middle school and my head was badly hurt in a PE class．During my operation．my father was nowhere to be found．This hurt me most．At that moment, I considered my Father as a cold﹣blooded man who did not care about me at all．But things seemed different at my high school graduation ceremony．where I was chosen to represent my class and give a speech．My father, once again, told me he had a business trip in a place outside the city and would be unable to show up（露面）‘"Don't come．I will be my nervousif I see you．"I told him．I remember my speech went smoothly．After the ceremony was over and I was aboutto[学．leave, I suddenly noticed a familiar（熟悉的）looking man sitting in a corner of the hall．It was my father! I was so surprised that I rushed to him with tears（眼泪）running down my face．"Well done, "he said．His eyes were also filled with tears．Later, I found out that my father had managed to finish his work by staying up late, and he drove for eight hours to get back．He had been sitting in the corner because he didn't want me to see him．My father remembered every word in my speech．For much of my life．I described my father was a cold﹣blooded man who only cared about his work．But when I thought deeply about ________, it was obviously（明显地）not true．At my graduation ceremony I could feel my father's deep love．The fact is that seeing is not believing, and seeing may not be the fact if we don't perceive（感知）the world with our hearts and minds．There's no doubt that life doesn't lacklove, but sometimes our eyes have trouble seeing it．（1）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？________A The writer's father was in the hospital during her operation．B The writer's father attended her high school graduation ceremony．C The writer's father sometimes picked her up when she was in primary school．D The writer's father went to parent﹣teacher meetings when she was in primary school．（2）The writer rushed to her father with tears running down her face mainly because．________A she gave a speech successfully．B the graduation ceremony was over．C she was so nervous that she couldn't help crying．D she was touched to find her father cared about her．（3）What does the underlined word"this"in the last paragraph refer to（指代）？________ A That my father was always doing projects． B That my father was a cold﹣blooded man． C That my father sat in the corner of the hall． D That my father's eyes were filled with tears．（4）What's the best title of the passage？________A My busy father．B Life is full of love．C Seeing is not believing．D A wonderful speech．五、词汇检测根据句意或括号内所给提示写出句中所缺的单词，每空一个单词.（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）24.

At the beginning, his parents didn’t think it was a bad habit.Therefore, as time goes by, the boy couldn’t give up his habit. Now, in his twenties, Andrew seems to have developed the bad habit into another one: he always bites his nails(指甲). He cannot stop biting his nails all the time. There’re moments when he even doesn’t know that he is doing it. He realized it was a problem and this worried him a lot. Some of his friends told him about this bad habit, and he stops for a while. But then, if he isn’t busy doing something, he starts biting his nails again!In fact, there’re a lot of bacteria(细菌) in your nails and they can cause some disease. Also, the nails will become ugly and hard to recover . The worst thing is that this bad habit will bring the mental illness （心理疾病）. If people cannot correct it in time, it can affect man’s mental health.In short, bad habits are very worrying, especially when the person with the habit is in public and cannot stop himself or herself doing it.

many dreams．These can be very big such as winning the Nobel Prize．Or they can be small，you may just want to become one of the best students in your class．Once you find a dream，what do you do with it？Have you ever tried to make your dream real？Follow Your Heart by an Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams real is life's biggest challenge（挑战）．You may think you are not very good at some school subjects，or it is impossible for you to become a writer．These kinds of thoughts stop you from realizing your dream，the book says．In fact，everyone can make his dream come true．The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is．Don't let it leave your heart．Keep telling yourself what you want．Do this step by step，and your dream will come true because a big dream，in fact，comes from many small dreams．You must also never give up your dream．There will be difficulties on the way to your dreams．But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself．You need to decide what is the most important．Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results，while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book．As you get closer to your dream，it may change a little．This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests．49．What is Follow Your Heart？A．The first thing you must do to make your dream realB．The most important dream to have for teenagersC．The name of the book by Andrew MatthewsD．The name of the famous Australian writer50．If you want to make your dream real，you should．A．remember what your dream isB．keep telling yourself what you wantC．never be afraid of difficultiesD．try to start with all the things above．34．（6分）Have you ever wondered（疑惑）what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom？Or in a waiting room，full of strangers？Or on a bus？Researchers（研究者）have found out some interesting facts．Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys．Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near．But it goes further than this．We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us．People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses．People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair．We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar experiences and we are more likely to be accepted场people like ourselves，or even，we think we may be safer with people who look like us．Sometimes that's true but it's a pity if we always stay with the same people，the same group．The danger always staying in our comfort zone（舒适区）is that we just recycle the same opinions，the same tastes and the same ideas．We lose the chance to learn something new，find out interesting things，hear funny stories and find differences．When we always stay with the same people，how can we break down the barriers（隔阂）which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas？And how can we avoid the ignorance（无知）？If you want to live in a society that opens to changes，new things and different opinions，be the cat among the pigeons（鸽子）．Move out of your comfort zone．Go and sit next to someone different．And don't just sit there without any words．Say hello．Ask a question．Start a conversation．That's how we make friends．That's how we learn about people．That's how we open our minds to new ideas．That's how we live an exciting life．51．People like staying in their comfort zone because they may．A．remain comfortable and specialB．find out more interesting thingsC．be accepted easily and feel safeD．discover differences among themselves52．The sentence"Unsurprisingly，we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves．"should be put at the beginning ofA．Paragraph 1B．Paragraph 2C．Paragraph 3D．Paragraph 453．What is the purpose of the article？A．To tell us not to talk with strangers．B．To introduce ways to learn about the world．C．To explain how people communicate with foreigners．D．To encourage（鼓励）us to get along with different people．35．（8分）At sunrise in a fishing port of eastern Spain（西班牙），several fishing boats have already set out．These fishermen were hunting for fish，shrimps and plastic bottles．They were working for ECOAIF，a local clothing company．Since July，the company has been working with the fishermen to pick up plastic rubbish in the Mediterranean（地中海）．The rubbish willbe used to make fashinable clothes．"Where others see rubbish，we see raw material，"said Javier Goyeneche，president （董事长）of ECOAIF．"We're showing that through recycling，we are able to create （创造）fashion．"ECOAIF was founded in 2010．The Spanish company now sells its clothes made from rubbish in big cities around the world．Goyeneche said the clothes had been very popular in the US，Japan and some European countries．"People really love it，"Goyeneche added．"Today's customers（顾客）are showing more and more interest in environmenal protection．Besides，clothes made from rubbish are very light．They are really comfortable and cheap．"54．What may the underlined word"shrimps"be？A．A kind of seafood．B．A kind of plant．C．A kind of bird．D．A kind of flower．55．What is ECOAIF according to the

rubbish are very light．C．The clothes made from rubbish are very cheap．D．People like all kinds of rubbish in the ocean．36．（8分）It is believed in some ways that the daughter is father's lover．But my experience has taught me in a different way．For a long time．my father has been a very vague figure（模糊形象）to me．He was a man of few words，tall but slim and nothing else．When I was in primary school．my father was never there to pick inc up，and he never came to any of my parent﹣teacher meetings．He was always busy doing projects．I remember when I was in middle school and my head was badly hurt in a PE class．During my operation．my father was nowhere to be found．This hurt me most．At that moment，I considered my Father as a cold﹣blooded man who did not care about me at all．But things seemed different at my high school graduation ceremony．where I was chosen to represent my class and give a speech．My father，once again，told me he had a business trip in a place outside the city and would be unable to show up（露面）‘"Don't come．I will be my nervousif I see you．"I told him．I remember my speech went smoothly．After the ceremony was over and I was about to[学．leave，I suddenly noticed a familiar（熟悉的）looking man sitting in a corner of the hall．It was my father！I was so surprised that I rushed to him with tears（眼泪）running down my face．"Well done，"he said．His eyes were also filled with tears．Later，I found out that my father had managed to finish his work by staying up late，and he drove for eight hours to get back．He had been sitting in the corner because he didn't want me to see him．My father remembered every word in my speech．For much of my life．I described my father was a cold﹣blooded man who only cared about his work．But when I thought deeply about this，it was obviously（明显地）not true．At my graduation ceremony I could feel my father's deep love．The fact is that seeing is not believing，and seeing may not be the fact if we don't perceive（感知）the world with our hearts and minds．There's no doubt that life doesn't lack（缺少）love，but sometimes our eyes have trouble seeing it．32．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A．The writer's father was in the hospital during her operation．B．The writer's father attended her high school graduation ceremony．C．The writer's father sometimes picked her up when she was in primary school．D．The writer's father went to parent﹣teacher

projects．B．That my father was a cold﹣blooded man．C．That my father sat in the corner of the hall．D．That my father's eyes were filled with tears．35．What's the best title of the passage？A．My busy

是不定冠词，表泛指，译为"一个"，用来修饰可数名词的单数，a用在辅音音素开头的单词前面；an用于以元音音素开头的单词前；the是定冠词，表特指．译"这个，那个，这些，那些"．由题干"地方"，是一个可数名词的单数形式，用不定冠词来修饰，．"一个"表泛指，用不定冠词．因public是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以第一个空格用a．因in public"当众"，是固定短语．中间不加任何成分，所以第二个空不填．故选：C．15．（1分）Jenny，my classmate，is really kind me．It's very kind her to help me with my homework．（）A．to；for B．to；of C．for；for D．for；of【解答】答案：B．for

C．be；taking D．be；take【解答】答案：C．根据There used to a small lake near my house．At that time，I was used to a walk around it after supper．可知这里used to do sth表示过去常常做某事，而be used to doing sth表示习惯于做某事，这里考查there be结构．故选C．17．（1分）I had much fun watching the match，I was not lucky enough to take a photo with my favourite player．（）A．and B．but C．so

he；Yes，he doesn'tB．does he；No，he hasn'tC．has he；Yes，he hasD．does he；No．But he did【解答】答案：D．根据Your father seldom has breakfast at home，可知本句考查了反义疑问句，反意疑问句的构成应该是"肯定的陈述句+否定的疑问"或"否定的陈述句+肯定的疑问"．根据题干中的never可知，上句是否定的陈述句，故反意疑问句用肯定形式，在这里has是实意动词，所以小的疑问句应该用助动词does引导．Your father 用he代指，再根据this morning这里应该是说今天早晨吃了，事实是否定的，用no回答．翻译成是的，后用but表转折，说明今天早上是在家吃的．故选：D．21．（1分）﹣To cure her mother's illness，she gave up going to college，although it was her own wishes．﹣Oh，I think we should learn from

talk loudly．Your father is sleeping now．（）A．Must；can't B．May；must C．Can；mustn't D．can't；can【解答】答案：C．考查情态动词．第二个空，结合语境"但是你__大声说话．你爸爸现在正在睡觉．"．可知，应该是"不得"mustn't．can't不可能，表示否定推测．A，B，D不正确．第一个空，结合语境"我__在这里和你打牌吗？"，可知，用can可以．选C．25．（1分）﹣How long has Li Hai ？﹣Since two years ago．（）A．come to our school B．begun to learn EnglishC．joined the Reading Club D．studied in our school【解答】答案：D．考查动词短语．由助动词has，可知，现在完成时态，谓语动词用延续性动作，come，begin，join都是非延续性动作，因此A，B，C不正确．study学习，延续性动作，选D．26．（1分）﹣When did he go to bed yesterday？﹣．（）A．By the time his mother came backB．Not until his mother came backC．Until his mother came backD．Since his mother came back【解答】答案：B．考查情景对话．根据问句的关键词"yesterday"昨天，表示过去，所以该问句是一般过去时态，又因"when"什么时候，询问时间，所以可推知答语是在过去的某个时间上床睡觉的．结合选项可知not…until…直到……才……until后跟终止性动词；until直到……．；since自从……；by the time到此时．所以选项B：直到他的母亲回来，他才去上床睡觉，符合题意，故选B．27．（1分）﹣Have you got anything to do this afternoon，Lucy and Lily？﹣Yes．______ of us are going to the home for the elderly．（）A．Each B．Either C．Both D．All【解答】答案：C根据"Lucy and Lily"可知，主人公有两个．"_ of us"结构中谓语的单复数由"of"前的主语决定．each表示两者及两者以上的每一个，做主语时谓语用单数形式；either 表示两者中的任一个，做主语谓语用单数；both 两者都，谓语用复数；all 三者及三者以上都，做主语时谓语用复数．根据"are"可知，此处表示两者都，故答案为both，选择C28．（1分）The boy was made the streets without money in the old days．（）A．clean B．cleaned C．to clean D．be cleaned【解答】答案：C．根据The boy was made the streets
