Most tsunamis are caused by underwater earthquakes, but not all underwater earthquakes cause tsunamis. About 90 percent of all tsunamis take place in the Pacific Ocean, most of them are in Japan. A strong earthquake in the oceannear Japan caused a deadly tsunami on March 11,2011. As of April 25, the number of death had been raised to 14,133, and more than 13,346 people were listed as missing. The wor d “tsunami” comes from the Japanese word.Many tsunamis could be found before they hit land with the use of modern technology. If you see the water drawback (后退) quickly and unexpectedly from a beach, run toward higher ground or inland -- there may be a tsunami coming. Also, if you are on the beach and there is an earthquake, it may have caused a tsunami, so run toward higher ground or inland. The first wave in a tsunami is often not the largest; if you experience one unusually-huge wave, go inland quickly -- even bigger waves could be coming soon.Do you know the story of the "angel(天使) of the beach"? Tilly, A 10-year-old English schoolgirl who saved the lives of hundreds of people in Phuket,Thailand in the Asian Tsunami of 2004 , by warning them a wall of water was about to strike(袭击), after learning about tsunamis in geography class. “Last term geography teacher Andrew Kearney taught us about earthquakes and how they can cause tsunamis,” Tilly said to the reporter.“I was on the beach and the water started to go funny. There were bubbles and the water went out all of a sudden. I recognised what was happening and had a feeling there was going to be a tsunami. I told mummy.”1．An earthquake may cause a tsunami.A．in the city B．in the country C．under the water2．When the tsunami is coming, we should .A．run towards the higher place or inlandB．run to the playgroundC．run into a house3．Tilly saved hundreds of people’s life in.A．Japan B．Tailand C．the United Kingdom4．Tilly recognised there would be a tsunami because .A．her geography teacher told her.B．she found the water drawback unusually quicklyC．she had a feeling about the earthquake5．Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?A．The word “tsunami” is from Japanese because most recorded tsunamis in the world took place in JapanB．Tsunami can only be found by modern technology before it hit the land.C．Tsunami only happens in the Pacific OceanB14、Do you enjoy reading? Here readers of your age from all over the United States recommend great books for you to read：My favorite book is Don’t Die, My Love by Lurlene McDaniel. I love all her books, but this was the first one I read and I have to say, it is by far my favorite. It doesn’t end like o ther books, and I cried while reading.I think Nancy Drew is great! Nancy is a detective who has many wonderful ideas! I love it because it’s a book from when my grandma was my age, and I can share the fun with her!I highly recommend Skinny Bones by Bar bara Park.

It is about a girl, Alice, who meets some girls at a new state(情景). They become friends, make a club and meet once a week. They stop after two weeks because they all like a boy in their class and put him as number one. I think every girl should read this because it is about our growing up.I read a book called Neela：Victory Song and it was so good I read it twice!

Natural resources are things that are useful to people and come from the earth. Materials for building houses are natural resources. So are foods, such asfruits, vegetables, animals that could be caught or hunted and water.The weather and land forms let certain things grow in different areas. They also determine(决定)which living things will be able to grow there. Areas with very rich soil are made to be good farming communities. Poor soil may send farmers to look for better places. However, areas with poor soil may attract those who have other purposes for the land. Poor soil doesn’t matter if you want to build a factory. It also doesn’t matter if it grows grass well.Each area attracts people based on their interests and purposes. Areas that support many different interests will naturally have larger populations. You may not think of the mountains, lakes or oceans as natural resources. In fact they are. Villages and cities built near water sources have been the most successful. People who want to catch fish for a living choose to live by the ocean, instead of the desert. People living near water can use it to meet their daily needs.Places that are difficult to reach will naturally have fewer people. Places that are high on mountain tops are not very desirable to most people. Neither are places that are in the middle of hot, dry deserts.For too long, humans have destroyed resources. We have been using up those that can’t be easily replaced.Renewable(可再生的) resources are those that can be replaced easily. We are lucky to have many resources that are renewable, such as the sun, wind, water and trees. We need to use more renewable resources. This will protect our planet.1．Areas with very rich soil can be used as_______.A．fishing places B．ranching placesC．a factory D．farming communities2．What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?A．What people living near water live on except fishing.B．How big villages and cities by the oceans come out.C．People choose places to live according to interests and purposes.D．People don’t live in places that are difficult to reach.3．Which of the following does NOT belong to natural resources?A．Animals that could be caught. B．Beds, tables and chairs.C．The mountains, lakes or oceans. D．Materials for building houses.4．What is the best title for the passage?A．The natural resources. B．An area’s weather.C．How to choose your house. D．Renewable resources.5．This passage may come from________.A．a story B．a fashion magazine C．a school report D．a cartoon filmE17、Here are some news from China Daily in February, 2016.1. Air quality in 271 out of 338 prefecture-level (地级) or above cities failed to meet national standards on the Chinese New Year Eve to 6 am the next morning on Feb 8, primarily because of pollution caused by firecrackers (烟花爆竹).2. According to data released by CCTV, the Spring Festival Gala (春晚) was watched on TV domestically by 690 million views while 138 million people watched it online.3. Kung Fu Panda 3 and The Mermaid《美人鱼》were very popular movies during the Spring Festival. But The Mermaid has earned more than 2 billion yuan after nine days in Chinese mainland theaters. It is expected to break the box office records Fast & Furious 7《速7》and Monster Hunt《捉妖记》set on the Chinese mainland to become the highest earning film in China’s film history.4. After the universal two-child policy, China will have a baby boom. Especially Chinese people have traditionally believed babies born in the Year of the Monkey to be smart and confident, due to their love of the animal because it is cute and resembles(相似) humans in many ways.1．What caused the air pollution on the Chinese New Year Eve to 6 am on Feb 8?A．Cities. B．Firecrackers.C．Population. D．Movies.2．How many people watched the Spring Festival Gala ?A．690 million. B．138 million.C．828 million. D．2 billion.3．Which movie can become the highest earning film in China’s film history?A．Kung Fu Panda 3. B．The Mermaid.C．Fast & Furious 7. D．Monster Hunt.4．Why do Chinese people like to have a baby in the Year of the Monkey?A．Because of the universal two-child policy.B．Because they believe these babies will be smart and confident.C．Because they love monkeys.D．Because monkeys are cute and resembleshumans in many ways.F18、D①Supermarkets only sell food before its “sell-by” date. So where does food past its “sell-by” date go? The answer is in the trash bin. Besides shops, people also cast away a lot of food when they buy too much and can’t eat it up. To stop food waste, people have come up with great ideas. Take a look and try to join the action!②Set up food banks. When we have extra money, we save it in banks. This idea made people think. Could they set up “banks” for food? The world’s first food bank started in the US in 1967. Many other countries, including China, have caught up with this great idea. For example, Shanghai has recently made a “share fridge”. It stores cakes and canned food donated (捐赠) from nearby markets and restaurants. It’s free for anyone to enjoy.③Pay as you feel. The Real Junk Food Project is a company in the UK. It says that food past its “sell-by” date could still be OK to eat. So they collect it from supermarkets, and put it on shelves (货架) in special cafes. There, the food has no price label (标签). You can give as much money as you want. If you don’t want to spend money, you can help do some work there. There are now 125 Real Junk Food cafes worldwide. And the number is growing quickly.④Buy less. When there’s no food bank around, wha t can we do to help stop food waste? In two words: Buy less. Dining halls in more than half of US colleges are going tray-less (无托盘). It makes it harder for students to take too much. This small change brings a big difference. It reduces food waste by 25 to 30 percent, and saves water and energy because there are no trays to wash.1．The underlined words “cast away” in Paragraph 1 probably means _____.A．put away B．take away C．give away D．throw away2．Which of the following is true according to the article?A．People need to pay for food from “share fridge”.B．Dining without trays helps to reduce food waste and save water.C．Fifty percent of American restaurants are going tray-less.D．The food in the Real Junk Food Project is free for anyone.3．How does the writer organize the writing？A．B．C．D．4．What’s the main purpose of the writing?A．To show how important the food bank is.B．To introduce some ways of stopping food waste.C．To ask people to buy food past its “sell-by” date.D．To disc uss where the food past its “sell-by” date goes.Ⅴ.书面表达19、每位同学都希望成为班级中受欢迎的人。

It has different shapes. Each shape has its own meaning. People can use ropes of different colors to weave a Chinese knot, but they usually use red because it means good luck.The Chinese knot, a folk art, has a long history. People first made them to record information and send messages before they started to use words. The knots were used for decoration (装饰) and to express thoughts and feelings in the Tang Dynasty. They were later popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties. But this art wasn’t really accepted by the common people until the Qing Dynasty.Even today, Chinese knots still hold the value of feelings when they are sent as gifts. For example, lovers may give a knot to show their love. The “double happiness knot” is given and used at weddings (婚礼) to express each other’s l ove and wishes for growing old together.Knots are also used when people make traditional clothes in China. They can play the role of buttons (纽扣) and now silk is widely used to make these clothing knots.Many tourists including foreigners like to buy Chinese knots as gifts during their trips.

They believe that celebrating and eating together brings good luck. Let’s party Indonesia-style.Would you be surprised to find a New Year’s Day in March? Indonesians on the island of Bali are getting ready to ring in Nyepi, their New Year. It falls in March or April on the night of the new moon and is a symbol of a fresh start for the people and the island of Bali. On the eve of Nyepi, families and friends get together in the market. They carry a huge monster which is made of wood and other materials around the village three times. After that, people set it on fire.After Nyepi, a Turun Tanah ceremony begins in honor of a child’s first steps. At the Turun Tanah, parents invite friends and family to a party to introduce the baby. They put different objects such as a bracelet (手镯), pen, mirror or toy computer around their baby. If the baby picks up a pen, he or she may be a writer. A child who picks up gold bracelet may be rich.5While Turun Tanah celebrates the future of a family, Galungan celebrates its past.

He translated each part separately into “east west”. And he introduced one theory (说法) about how dongxi came to mean “things”. Hetold people that all marketplaces in ancientChinese cities were set up along a single road that ran from east to west. So when you would say qu mai dongxi, you’d be saying, “I’m going to buy things.”Some other videos show his reading Chinese poems and performing kung fu in traditional Chinese costume, which are quite welcome among his 40, 000 followers.“Many of my followers are learning Chinese,” Boris said. “But sadly, they know little about Chinese culture and the country.”Like many foreigners, Boris once believed that all Chinese could perform kung fu, flying onto roofs and walking over walls. He thought the country was not that developed. But after he got a scholarship (奖学金) to study in China in 2019, his view changed. “China has entered a new period, but many people’s impressions of China are still stuck in the 1970s,” Boris said.“That’s why I started to shoot vlogs to share Chinese culture in 2019.”Until now, Boris has posted more than 40 Chinese culture vlogs online. But making these vlogs is not easy. Take reading the poem Second Farewell to Cambridge by Xu Zhimo as an example.“I can understand and read every word in the poem,” Boris said. “But to touch readers, I need to use proper feelings while reading.” So he needed to look for much background information and make his feelings suit each part of the poem.Though shooting these vlogs takes lots of time, the young man feels proud that his vlogs have inspired many people. Boris said that he wanted to continue bridging the differences between two cultures. “This goal may not be achieved easily, but I will spare no efforts to do my part.”38. Through the vlogs, Boris mainly wants to ________.A. teach foreigners ChineseB. introduce a Chinese universityC. sell Chinese products7D. share his experiences in China39. What inspired Boris to shoot vlogs?A. His hunger for new technology.B. His wish to show the real China.C. His interest in Chinese culture.D. His dream to be a big vlogger.40. The poem Second Farewell to Cambridge is mentioned to ________.A. meet the followers’ needsB. expr ess Boris’s love for poemsC. show Boris’s efforts at vlog-makingD. give an example of Chinese culture41. The passage is probably written to ________.A. say yes to Boris’s actionsB. build bridges by making vlogsC. call for more helpD. achieve a common goalDThe Forbidden City in Beijing was the emperors’ palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is also called “zijincheng(the Purple Forbidden City)”. Though its walls are red and its roofs are yellow, the palace’s name mentions the color purple. How did it get this name?The character zi refers to the “ziwei star (Polaris, 北极星)”. According to ancient Chinese astronomy(天文学), the ziwei star was surrounded by 28 other stars, meaning it was the heart of the sky. People believed that the palace of the Jade Emperor, which is called ziweigong, or ziwei palace, was located on this star. Chinese emperors were believed to be the sons of the God Emperor. It was believed that their palace on earth should be just like the ziweigong in the sky. That’s how the Forbidden City got its name.In Chinese culture, many people believe that the color purple stands for good luck. This belief began with Laozi, the ancient philosopher(哲学家)and founder of Taoism (道教), who lived around 2,500 years ago. One day, when Laozi was traveling through the Hangu Pass(函谷关)in Henan from the east, a purple mist(薄雾)suddenly appeared in the air. It is believed that this mist was connected to Laozi in some way. This “purple air from the east” story made people believe the color was a symbol of great saints from that point on.42. The Forbidden City has other names EXCEPT ________.A. zijinchengB. ziweigongC. the Purple Forbidden CityD. the Palace Museum43. Ancient Chinese believed that ziwei star was ________.A. the heart of the skyB. the name of the emperorC. the palace of the Jade EmperorD. the luck to everyone44. In Chinese culture, many people believe that the color purple stands for ________.A. LaoziB. the emperorC. good luckD. bad luck45. What is the best title of the passage?A. China’s “purple” palaceB.

At once I rushed out to the yard. There was my bike, 4 it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. It was so 5 ! I thought I h urt my parents’ feelings because I could see the disappointment 6 their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine.

Large numbers of people from all over the world come to visit famous places, such as the Great Wall of China and the Sistine Chapel（西斯廷教堂）in Vatican City. These visitors contribute (贡献)a lot to the local development, but at the same time they have caused many problems. They’ve thrown rubbish everywhere, brought more traffic and even done serious damage（破坏）to these places.As for the damage, there are many different causes. For example, the paintings in the Sistine Chapel are being damaged because people breathe onto them when they visit. Damage in other places such as the Great Wall is serious partly because tourists climb on delicate（脆弱的）areas. Even though some of the walls were built of stone, after so many years, they are already in poor condition and need to be rebuilt.▲On the one hand, we have to cut down tourist numbers, because fewer visitors will result in less damage. On the other hand, we should make strict rules about which areas people can visit and what they can do when they get there. For example, special paths（路径）can be built and people will not be allowed to walk off the paths. Visitors to indoor places can be asked to wear masks（面罩）to protect the paintings.It is necessary to control tourism at famous places. If we do not do this, these places will disappear from our planet. And people who live hundreds of years later will have no chance to see these great places.1．What does the underlined word “tourism” in Paragraph 1 mean in Chinese?A．交流B．污染C．购物D．旅游2．What causes the Sistine Chapel to be damaged?A．People’s writing their names on its walls.B．People’ s breathing onto the paint ings.C．People’ s drawing on the paintings.D．People’ s climbing up its walls.3．Which of the following can be put in ?A．Why are these places so popular?B．What has been done to protect these places?C．What can we do to deal with these problems?D．How much money is needed to rebuild these places?4．What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?B．To call on people to protect famous places.C．To ask people to travel less during holidays.D．To explain why international tourism is popular.B14、As Danny put his lunch tray onto the cafeteria table, milk spilled all over his sandwich. “This is the worst thing I’ve ever done!” he said, “It’s not that bad,” said his friend Elena, who was sitting across from him. “Just get another sandwich.”“Sandwich? What sandwich? I am talking about the talent contest（竞赛）. It’s only two weeks away and I don’t know what I’m doing! Everybody will laugh at me. There’s no way to avoid it!”“Don’t be so negative, Danny,” said Elena as she rolled her eyes. “You’re going to be great. You have the skills to do just about anything.”Danny moved his lunch tray to the side and rested his head on the table.“Sit up Danny,” ordered Elena, “I have an idea. Let’s brainstorm a list of things you could do. We’ll divide the list into categories or groups. Let’s start with music. You play the piano, right?”“I stopped taking lessons in the third grade,” said Danny.“What about singing a song?” suggested Elena.Danny shook his head no. “Let’s move on to another category.”“What about performing magic tricks?” asked Elena, as she twisted thin strands of hair around her finger.“I don’t know how to play magic tricks!” Danny almost shouted.“Stop being so…” Elena paused, “That’s it, DRAMATIC!” Elena shouted excitedly. “You could do a dramatic reading. You definitely have the talent for it. Mrs. Pace always calls on you to read aloud in class. You could read a play aloud. Maybe you could even get extra credit from Mrs. Pace. She rewards students with poin ts for doing extra reading work.”Danny thought for a minute. Then he smiled. “Elena,” Danny said, “You are a great friend!”Elena smiled back. “I just want to make sure you are a bright, shiny star when you step out on stage.”1．Elena and Danny were talking ______.A．in the cafeteria B．in the classroomC．in a theatre D．at home2．Danny was unhappy because of ______.A．the spilled milkB．her friend ElenaC．the talent contestD．the milk-soaked bread3．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?A．rude B．boredC．inactive D．unfriendly4．With the help of Elena, Danny finally decided to ______.A．play the piano B．sing a songC．perform magic tricks D．do a dramatic readingC15、There were two fishermen named Tom and Jack.

The year 2012 saw 6,950 towns and cities in more than 152 countries took part in Earth Hour movement. Last year 7,000 towns and cities in more than 154 countries took part in Earth Hour. This year, WWF is calling for people across the world to take part in Earth Hour 2014 – the biggest switch-off in history.For the eighth year, people are being asked to turn off their lights for one hour to call attention to the issue of climate change. The WWF’s organizers say climate change is one of the greatest threats(威胁) facing wildlife and nature. They also say when it comes to save energy and money, big changes start with small steps like turning out the lights.Earth Hour supporter Jamie Oliver has some great ideas of his own for helping the environment: “We can all make simple changes to help, like always choosinghigher-welfare(规模化养殖的) meat, and even trying to have a couple of meat-free days a week. More little steps, such as taking a shower instead of a bath, leaving the car behind and walking to work, not leaving electrical appliances on standby（备用的）and so on are the beginning of a low carbon lifestyle and a healthier world.This year, Earth Hour is asking people to take the movement “beyond the hour”.

Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jerry really feel good about as a friend? Or d id he envy my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.” Is he really on your si de? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy.” or“You’re a lucky gal.” That’s being friendly. But “lucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is he doesn’t think you de serve your luck.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture(体态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. Spend some time thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you, and you may save another mistake.1．The questions in the first paragraph tell us that the speaker ___________________.A．feels happy because his friends were nice to himB．feels he may not have “read” his friends’ true feelings correctlyC．thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend HelenD．is sorry that his friends let him down2．From the example “You’re a lucky dog”, we can learn that ______________.A．the speaker of the sentence is friendlyB．it means the same as “You’re a lucky guy.” or “You’re a lucky gal.”C．sometimes the words used by the speaker give a tip to the feeling behind the wordsD．the word “dog” shouldn’t be used to describe a person3．The passage tries to tell you how to ___________.A．avoid mistakes about money and friendsB．bring the “dog” bit into our conversationC．be friendly to other peopleD．avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you4．What is important in listening to a person?A．To notice his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes.B．To listen to how he pronounces his words.C．To check if his words go well with his manner, his tone of voice and his posture.D．Don’t believe what he says.5．If you follow the writer’s advice, you would ____________.A．be able to get the real meaning of people’s wordsB．avoid any mistakes while talking with the people who envy youC．not lose real friends who say things that do not please youD．be able to observe people as they are talking to youⅤ.书面表达19、书面表达根据以下提示，写一篇介绍我的朋友张阳的短文。
