A young woman was driving alone through the countryside. It was getting dark and raining. Suddenly she saw an old woman by the side of the road, holding out her hand as if she needed a lift. “I can’t leave her out in this weather,” the woman said to herself, so she stopped the car and opened the glass.
“Do you want a lift?” she asked. The old woman nodded and climbed into the car. After a while she said to the old woman, “Have you waited for long?” The old woman shook her head. “Strange,” thought the young woman. She tried again, “Bad weather for the time of year,” she said. The old woman nodded. Although the driver tried some, the lady said nothing except a nod of head or something else like that.
Then the young woman saw the lady’s hands, they were very large and with thick hair. Suddenly, she realized that the lady was a man! She stopped the car. “I can’t see that mirror,” she said, “Would you mind cleaning it for me?” The lady nodded and opened the door. As soon as the lady was out of the car, the young woman drove off quickly.
When she got to the next village, she stopped. She found that the old lady had left a handbag on the backseat. She picked it up and opened it. She gave out a deep breath. Inside it was a gun!

This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. As I searched the name, I found that there were two famous people having the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for
peanuts(花生), while the other led some kind of army across America. I looked at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: let the coin decide. I flipped(掷) a coin and ah! Tails (背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, I stood in front of the classroom and proudly read my homework. But things started to get strange. I looked around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher. I was completely lost. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”
Oh well, I dropped the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear,“My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American War of Independence.”The whole wo rld became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington?
Of course, my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to the headmaster Miss Lancelot, but she said firmly: No re-dos; no new score. I felt that it was not fair, and I believed I should get a second chance. So I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmaster’s office again, but this time a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip(跳过) the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term.
51. ________ helped me decide what my report would be about.
A. The Internet
B. My classmates
C. My grandpa
D. A coin
52. People in the class acted strangely because ________.
A. I was too proud of my homework
B. I mistook what the homework was about
C. the whole world suddenly became quiet
D. the teacher’s face turned to a stone
53. We can infer(推断) from the passage that ________.
A. the headm aster didn’t like the writer at all
B. the writer’s classmates felt sad at his mistake
C. the writer knew little about American history
D. the writer’s grandpa was a very wise man
D
Monarch butterflies from eastern Canada make the most amazing journey in the insect world. Each year, this butterfly travels about 3000miles to its winter home in central Mexico(墨西哥). How can it fly so far?
And why does it make this long and dangerous trip? Scientists still don’t have an an swer.
For many years, people in Mexico wondered where the orange-and-black butterflies came from every winter. Then, in 1937, a scientist started to follow and study the butterflies. For the next 20 years, he discovered that one butterfly started its journey in Canada. Four months later, it arrived in Mexico.
The length of the butterflies find their way back to the same place? Another amazing thing is that the butterflies always return to the same area in central Mexico.
How do the butterflies find their way back to the same place? This is an interesting question because only every fourth generation(代)makes the trip south. In other words, the butterfly that travels to Mexico this year is the great-great-grandchild of the butterfly that traveled there last year.
Each year, four generations of a Monarch butterfly family are born. Each generation of the family has a very different life. The first generation is born in the south in late April. It slowly moves north, reproduces(繁衍), and then dies. On the trip north,two more generations are born, reproduce, and die. Each of these generations of butterflies is born. This generation has a much longer life. It lives for about eight months. This generation of butterflies makes the amazing journey back to the winter home of its great-great-grandparents. The butterflies spend the winter there, and in the spring they reproduce and then die. Their offspring will be the first generation of the next circle of life.
Today, people are still studying the Monarch butterfly. But they are not clear about everything.
54.The best title of the passage can be ________.
A.Family of Monarch butterflies
B. Mystery of Monarch butterflies
C.Monarch butterflies’ birthplace
D.Monarch butterflies’ winter home
55.It took the scientist ______ to find out that monarch butterflies came from Canada.
A. 20 years
B. four months
C.five weeks
D.eight months
56.We know that the _____ generation of Monarch butterflies travel back to central Mexico.
A.first B . second C.third D.fourth
57.Which statement is true according to the text?
A.Monarch butterflies spend winter in eastern Canada.
B.The four generations have the same length of life.
C.Some generations die on the way north to Canada.
D.Scientists are clear about everything of the butterflies

九、阅读填空先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在文章后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。每个空格只能填一个单词。（共5分）
Nearly everyone wants to be successful. It can be very hard to succeed, though. Here is some advice to help you:
·Plan for success
Wanting success is not enough. You have to plan for it. Ask yourself: How am I going to be successful? What do I have to learn to achieve the success I want? And how long will it take me to get it? These questions will help you plan for your success.
·Form good habits
If you study the lives of successful people, you’ll find that they have excellent work habits. Edison, for example, had a habit of always coming up with new ideas, and this helped him become one of the greatest inventors. Forming such habits can be boring, but useful.
·Never stop learning
Successful people never stop learning. They never say“I’ve learned enough. There is nothing more I need to know.”You have to understand that the moment you stop learning is the moment you stop progressing. We live in an ever-changing (不断变化的) world, and need to be able to keep up with it.
·Let failure motivate (提升) you
It’s okay to fail, it happens to everyone. Michael Jordan, one of the most successful basketball player ever, used to say that his failure were what drove him to succeed. Learning from your mistake is what will put you on the road to the success you want.

Dear Mr Wang,
I’m writing to reco mmend Tom as the new vice-chairperson of the Students’ Union.
Here is Tom’s photo. He is wearing a yellow T-shirt and a pair of blue jeans.
As we know, yellow is the colour of the sun . It can remind us of a warm ,sunny days. Blue is a calm colour. It can bring peace to our mind and body. It is said that colours may show people’s personalities. So I think he has some strong qualities for this position. He is confident, because he is good at making speeches. He also does well in computers. He is hard-working, modest and organized. He often spends lots of time organizing after-school activities. He is very helpful too. He never minds doing extra work for our class. He always tries his best to help his classmates with their lessons when they are absent from school.
