Long, long ago, there were two thieves 16 wanted to steal some sheep which were fedby a farmer. They had watched the sheep 17 a long time. And they knew that there were18 sheep in the farmer’s yard. On a dark 19 , they came to the outside of the farmer’s yard and got ready to steal all the sheep. But they found that the gate was locked inside, and they couldn’t open 20 . Finally, they came up 21 a good idea. They dug a big hole in the wall so that one of the thieves was able to go into the yard and pass the sheep out one by one to 22 . In order to stop the sheep 23 away, the thief outside must cut off its head quickly with a sharp knife while the thief inside 24 a sheep out of the hole.They started to work like that and the work was going well. “One, two, three...,” they both counted the numbers 25 , “...twenty-five, twenty-six...” However, the thief 26 stopped counting. “Where is the twenty-seventh sheep?”he thought. “Did I make a mistake?”So hestretched（伸）his 27 out of the hole to ask the other thief.

AYou may like sweet potatoes, but there are some facts you may not know about them. Let me tell you.31.What can we know about sweet potatoes from the passage?A.Sweet potatoes were first found in Africa.B.The family of sweet potatoes includes yams.C.Sweet potatoes are from American countries.D.Sweet potatoes are closely related to lilies.32.Which of the following is NOT true?A.People have grown sweet potatoes for a long period of time.B.Sweet potatoes were first grown in Spain.C.Sweet potatoes may be more expensive than white potatoes.D.Sweet potatoes are healthy food.33.Where is the reading material probably from?A.A story book.B. A guidebook.C. A page of news.D. A life magazine.BI’m sure most people like music. Music can not only bring us wonderful enjoyment, but also bring us happiness when we are tired or sad. And many people have the habit of enjoying music when they are free. But to our surprise, one English school allows children to listen to music or even to have the TV on while they are studying, and they find it is helpful to improve the students’grades.According to a research at Millfield School in the UK, around 20% of teenagers work better with background music, and 10% excel when allowed to finish their work with short walks around the room while up to 80% canconcentrate（集中注意）better if allowed to play with a small object.The research has made the school use a very new way, encouraging students to discover which learning styles suit them best, and then do their homework listening to music or even lying down. Some parents don’t believe, but many are now accepting it at home where children are allowed to do their homework with the television on.“I prefer to work on the floor with music on,” said Sam, a 13-year-old girl. “At first my parent thought I didn’t study hard, but my teacher asked them to look at my homework and when they saw it was OK, they agreed at last.”34.What advantage of music hasn’t been mentioned in the passage?A.Music can bring us enjoyment.B.Music can bring us happiness.C.Music can make people excited.D.Music can help to improve students’ grades.35.What does the underlined word “excel” probably mean?A.It means “be good at doing something”.B. It means “do badly in doing something”.C. It means “give up doing something”.D. It means “play with something”.36.Which of the following is true?A.The research was done in the USA.B.One fifth of the students can work better with background music.C.20% can concentrate better if allowed to play with a small object.D.No parents accept the idea.37.What can you infer from the passage?A.The students at Millfield School are against the new idea of allowing children to listen to music.B.More and more parents will allow children to listen to music while doing homework.C.The new idea will spread all over the world.D.More and more children will realize the importance of working hard.CWhen I was in the seventh grade, I had problems behaving. My heart was in the right place,but I couldn’t always follow the rules. I played many tricks on my schoolmates. Once, I evenpulled a girl’s hair on the school bus to get her attention. As a result, I was repeatedly sent to theoffice of the headmaster. Although I hated going there, I did not hate the headmaster, Mr. Smith.Mr. Smith was a kind, elderly man. When he punished me for putting some ants into a classmate’s pencil box, it didn’t hurt at all, but it did hurt my feelings. I thought so much of him and moments like that seemed to prove I was hopelessly bad.When I was called to Mr. Smith’s office for the sixth time, I had no idea what I had done. I felt disappointed as I walked down there. I went into his office, sat down, and looked at the floor. Then he said the last thing I expected to hear. “Kevin, I’ve heard you’ve been behaving really well lately. I want you to know how proud I am of you, and I just called you down to my office to give you a peppermint.”“Really?” I was surprised.“Yes. Now you can take that peppermint and go back to class.”I carried the peppermint with me as if it was a gold coin. When I got into my classroom, I bragged（吹嘘）to my classmates about my turn around, excitedly. I wasn’t so bad after all.Mr. Smith was really kind. He made me realize that I was just a kid who had problems with behavior. He bought some peppermints and took the time to notice me when I got something-anything-right. Mr. Smith gave me some hope by giving me some love. I will just remember him for the rest of my life.38.How did the writer behave in his seventh grade?A.He had problems behaving.B. He had problems with the headmaster.C. He always followed the rules.D. He often helped his classmates.39.How did the writer feel when he went to the headmaster’s office for the sixth time?A.Lonely.B. Disappointed.C. Confident.D. Excited.40.Why will the writer always remember Mr. Smith?A.Because the headmaster talked with him in the office.B.Because the headmaster played games with him.C.Because the headmaster expected him to be a teacher.D.Because the headmaster gave him some hope and love.41.Which of the following may be the title of the passage?A.A Strict HeadmasterB.How Disappointed I WasC.A Lovely PresentD.The Sixth Time I Went to the Headmaster’s OfficeDJohn Green was born in a worker’s family. His parents lived a simple life, saving money for the day when they could send him to a good university. They had dreamed that their son could get a good job and live a better life. However, to John, school lessons seemed like a wall that was impossible to go through.One day when he was in Grade 11, John asked one of his teachers for help.“John, I’ve been studying your marks of all the tests at school. I’ve made a careful study of them,” said the teacher. “I’ve been trying hard.” John was about to cry.The teacher put his hand on the boy’s shoulder, “People have different kinds of talents, John. There are painters who were never able to learn math, and engineers who can’t sing on key. Some day you will find what you are good at, and when you do, you will make your parents and all of us very proud of you.”John didn’t go to university. He found a job working in the gardens around the town. Soon something amazing happened. His customers began to notice that John had what they called “green thumb”. The plants he looked after grew, and the roses blossomed. People started to accept his suggestions for gardening, because he had an eye for color and light.One day while he was downtown, he happened to notice an unused dirty land behind the city hall. He volunteered to make it into a garden. That very afternoon as soon as he got the permission, he started the work, but he couldn’t afford all the tools or the plants that were necessary for it. People gave him young trees, rose-bushes, benches and many other things. Before long, it had become a beautiful little park.Today John is the head of the business in gardening. Wherever he and his men go, they spread beauty before the eyes of people.42.How was John’s school work?A.Not very good.B. Excellent.C. Great.D.
