She flew quickly down to a river, looking into the water.“No.” she shouted loudly. She couldn’t believe her eyes. On her back were two wings as black as night. This wasn’t what she had thought at all. “How I wish I could be a caterpillar again.” Just at that time, May and June came over.“Wow, what big wings you have.” May said.“You look like the midnight sky,” said June. “We missed your stories. Tell us one, please!”“Yes, tell us one.” May added.Sunny looked up at the dark blue sky. It was beautiful.

He went around the village with a basket and asked each person to give him some of their wisdom (智慧). The people laughed at Anansi because they knew that he needed wisdom the most. So each person put a bit in his basket and wished him good luck.Soon his basket was full, but Anansi was worried that his neighbors might be jealous (嫉妒) of his wisdom and take it from him. He decided to hide it at the top of a tall tree. He tied the basket to the front part of his body and tried to climb the tree, but it was too difficult. He tried again and again without success.Then his youngest son walked by. “What are you doing, Father?” he asked and Anansi told him. “Why don’t you carry the basket on your back instead?” his son said.Anansi put the basket on his back and climbed the tree easily, but he wasn’t happy. “I walked all over the village and collected so much wisdom that I am the wisest person ever, but my baby son is still wiser than me.

His palace was always decorated (装饰) with beautiful orchids (兰花) and other flowers. As the king grew older, he knew that one day he would have to give up his throne (王位). So he had to find someone to rule the country.The other day, the king had an idea. He asked his servants to travel to every part of the country and give every citizen a single orchid seed (种子). He then announced (宣布) that the person who grew the most beautiful orchid would take his throne.Everyone in the country then got their own seed. One young man named David was especially excited about the news, because he had experience in growing flowers himself.David planted his seed in a pot and put it in a place where it would get lots of sunlight. He watered it carefully every day. But hard as he tried, his flower simply would not grow.Finally, it was time for everyone to give their flowers to the king. David took his empty pot to the palace. “Your Majesty (陛下), I am sorry to say that l could not grow an orchid. But I hope you can see that l tried my best,” he said.The king was moved by David’s honesty. Although he did not choose David as the new king, he gave David a job as a royal court judge (法官). He believed that David’s honesty would make him the right person to make sure of the justice (公正) in the country.22．According to the king’s order, who could be the next king?A．The man who was the smartest.B．The man who was the most honest.C．The man who could plant the best seed.D．The man who could grow the most beautiful orchid.23．What do we know about David?A．He told a joke to the king.B．He failed to grow the king’s orchid.C．He was good at growing orchids.D．He was chosen to be the next king. 24．What can we learn from the story?A．David was the only winner in the end.B．It is stupid of the king to choose David as a judge.C．It is impolite of David to give an empty pot to the king.D．The king believed honesty was very important for a judge.25．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．Honesty is the Best Policy B．How to Grow OrchidsC．Flowers are the Best Gifts D．It’s Very Easy to Grow Orchids七①Have you ever heard that groundhogs can predict (预测) the end of winter? How about that elephants never forget things? Or that dogs can smell the strange? That may not be 100% true. However, many animals do have stronger senses than humans.①Do animals have a sixth sense that can tell the future? That may sound out of this world. However, many events seem to support this idea.①Thousands of years ago, a big earthquake hit Helike, Greece. Buildings came down. Many people were hurt. But there was something amazing. The city’s animals acted strangely days before the earthquake. Rats and snakes ran from the city in groups. Did they know an earthquake was coming? In 1975, one million people had to leave their hometown, Haicheng, Liaoning Province with the help of Chinese government. Why? They believed a disaster was coming. They thought this, in part,because of animals’ strange behaviours. Just days later, a large earthquake hit the city. Experts (专家) said 150,000 could have lost their lives if people stayed in the city at that time. In December 2004, the animals of Sri Lanka were acting strange. Elephants ran around. Dogs wouldn’t go outside. Zoo animals wouldn’t leave their home. Soon after people saw these strange behaviours, a tsunami (海啸) hit the island.①Animals seem to be pretty good at predicting (预测) disasters. But it doesn’t stop there! Some of them even seem to sense small changes in the weather before they happen. Bees are known to find places before it rains. Dairy farmers say they can tell a big storm is coming when their cows lie down. Cats and dogs are also said to know when a storm is on its way, as are birds and turtles. Can animals really tell the future?①Experts say it’s unlikely (不可能的) that animals can tell the future. However, they might hear or feel the earthquake before people do. Even though scientists have not proved animals have the ability to predict disasters before they happen and animals’ predictions aren’t always right, it’s not bad to pay attention to the animals. 26．According to the passage, we know many animals ________.A．can tell the future in different ways B．have better sense abilities than humans C．act strangely after some natural disasters D．use the sixth sense to predict earthquakes27．The word “behaviours” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.A．actions B．senses C．ideas D．feelings 28．How many examples do the writer use in Paragraph 3 to support the idea that animals can tell the future?A．Two.B．Three.C．Four D．Five. 29．What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?A．Animals are good at helping farmers.B．Animals are good at finding their homes.C．Animals seem to know the future problems.D．Animals seem to know the weather changes.30．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Can Animals Predict the Future?B．Do Animals Have Stronger Senses?C．How Do Animals Save People’s Life?D．What Are Animals’ Ways to Tell the Future?八Think back to a time in your life when you tried something new.When I was a teenager I volunteered to pass out water at a local race. I was so excited to see all the different runners who passed by and quickly took a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past.I saw so many kinds of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! The next year I decided to run for the race, but I had little running practice. I just wanted to finish.On the day of the race, it was terribly hot. After running for about 5 miles, I was thinking, “I must be crazy. Why did I do this? What was I thinking?” And at one moment, I said to myself, “I am never doing this again!”That first 10 km race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and walked. At times, I didn’t know if I could finish.Near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very fast, and I felt a little embarrassed (尴尬的) that I was more than 50 years younger than he and I couldn’t even keep up with him. But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. How often in life do we compare ourselves to others when we really shouldn’t? I decided that I would not give up on running races, and that one day I would be one of those 70-year-olds who were still running.As I crossed the finishing line, I was so proud of myself. I didn’t regret (后悔) having such an experience.31．Why did the writer join in the running race?A．He was crazy about running for the race.B．He just wanted to try something new.C．He though he had rich running experience.D．He expected to see if he was strong enough.32．How did the writer’s feeling change during the race?① He decided to keep on running.① He felt very proud of himself.① He was kind of embarrassed.① He regretted joining in the race.A．①→①→①→①B．①→①→①→①C．①→①→①→①D．①→①→①→①33．What did the writer try to tell us?A．We should volunteer as teenagers.B．We should cheer up for old people.C．We should run our own race in life.D．We should try our best to be No. 1.附答案及解析1．C 2．B 3．D 4．D 5．A解析：本文主要介绍富美子在纽约度过的快乐时光，及她对纽约的喜爱之情。

Do you know how to be green?We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.ReduceReduce means "use less". Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary—or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.ReuseReuse means "use again". Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup of a paper bag. It's better to use a china(陶瓷) cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.RecycleRecycle means "change things into something else". Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighborhood and take part in recycling programs. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.So please remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.26.What is the passage about?A. How to produce things.B. How to help others.C. How to be green.27.Which of the following is right?A. Don't waste things.B. Always throw away old things.C. Buy too many things from abroad.28.Why is it better to use a china cup and a lunch box?A. You can burn them.B．You can use them again.C. You can change them into something else.29.To protect the environment, we should remember these three words: _______.A. waste, reuse and recycleB. repair, burn and recycleC. reduce, reuse and recycle30.Where may the passage come from?A. A dictionary.B. A magazine.C. A storybook.BIt's a popular idea that fish can't remember anything for longer than seven seconds(秒). But these days, a study found that fish have much better memories than we thought. Some kinds of fish can even remember things from as long as 12 days ago, BBC reported.In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained African cichlids to go to a certain(具体的) area of their tank(鱼缸) to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again.This showed that they could remember their past experiences. Researchers also found that after such a long break, the fish still went to the same place as before. Finally, scientists think that African cichlids might have a good memory.An earlier study showed that they acted aggressively(有侵略性地) in front of certain fish, probably because they remembered their past fights. But until now, there was no clear evidence(证据)."If fish are able to remember a certain area with safe food, they can go back to that area without putting their lives in danger," lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.For a long time, people numbered fish far behind monkeys, dolphins(海豚) and mice on the list of smart animals. But this study gave scientists a new understanding of their intelligence(智商).So next time you are watching your pet fish, you might feel closer to them—they may remember who you are.31.What is the popular idea about fish?A. Fish can remember things for a very short time.B. Fish can remember part of their experiences.C. Fish can remember things that happened 12 days ago.32.What did the study from MacEwan University show?①Fish may remember their past experiences.②Fish would fight for food with others.③Fish could remember where they first got food.④Fish could sleep with their eyes open.A. ①②B. ③④C. ①③33.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. a living place.B. a good memory.C. special food.34.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Researchers try to train fish how to live in the wild.B. People placed fish third on the list of clever animals.C. Your pet fish in the tank may not forget who you are.35.What's the purpose(目的) of the passage?A. To ask people to do some research on fish by themselves.B. To show that fish have better memories than people thought.C. To tell people that it is important to have a good memory.四、情景交际（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）A: What were you doing last night, Linda?
