William Kamkwamba lives in Malawi, Africa, where most people have to grow their own food and have no electricity or running water. In 2001, when he was 14 years old, there was a terrible drought (干旱) and most families, including William’s, couldn’t grow enough food.
Because of the drought, William’s family couldn’t afford to send him to school anymore. So one day, William went to the library near his home to study. He found a science book called Using Energy, which included instructions for building a windmill (风车). Windmills are good sources of electricity, and they can bring water up from underground. William didn’t know much English, and he wasn’t able to understand most of the book, but it was full of pictures. Looking at the pictures, William thought he could build a windmill for his family.
When William started building his windmill, a lot of people laughed at him, including his mother. But William saw the photo of the windmill in the book. That meant someone else was able to build it, so he knew he could build it, too. He didn’t have the parts and equipment that he saw in the book’s pictures. So he looked for parts in junkyards to build his machine.
William changed his design little by little. First, the windmill powered only one light bulb (灯泡). Finally, it powered four lights. Then there was enough electricity for four lights and a radio. No one laughed at William after that, and people in his town started to come to his house to get power for their cell phones. Later, William built a second windmill. This one brought water up from underground. After that, William began to teach other people how to build windmills.
Now he uses his website, movingwindmills.org, to educate and give hope to people. His main message is this: “To the Africans and the poor who are struggling (挣扎) with your dreams ... trust yourself and believe. Whatever happens, don’t give up.”
24. What was William’s primary purpose of building a windmill
A. To set up a family business.
B. To do a science experiment.
C. To realize his childhood dream.
D. To bring electricity to his family.
25. What was William’s mother’s attitude toward his building a windmill at first
A. Hopeful. B. Worried.
C. Doubtful. D. Uninterested.
26. What can we learn about William’s first windmill
A. It was sold at a high price.
B. It was made of thrown-away things.
C. It could bring water up from underground.
D. It looked the same as the photo in Using Energy.
27. Which of the following can best describe William
A. Honest. B. Humorous.
C. Self-centered. D. Strong-minded.
C
These days, it seems like everyone wants to go out into space and live on new planets. Rather than depend on another pre-existing (已存在的) planet, could we make a new, proper planet ourselves
To start with, if we’d want to be living on it, we should find a good place in space to put the new planet. We’d want it to be in a habitable zone, meaning the planet should be at the right distance from its star to make sure there would be perfect temperatures and most importantly, liquid water.
We’d also need the right materials to make the planet. Our Earth is made up of many different elements (元素). If we made our own new planet, we’d probably want it to have similar elements and a similar structure (结构). We’d also want enough water to form some oceans.
But even if we get all of the materials, creating a new planet like Earth could have many troubles. It might be something more like a huge space station. It would be pretty expensive if we wanted it to be super big.
We would probably also need a lot of food, since there’s going to be many scientists and astronauts out in space working on this project!
According to NASA, each astronaut uses about 0.83 kilograms of food per meal, including 0.12 kilograms of packaging (包装) material. Without the weight of the packaging material, we’d need about 780 kilograms of food just to feed one astronaut for a year.
Putting all these together could make it possible to make our own planet one day! In reality, creating a new planet would probably require a very modern technology and there would be tons of other things to think about. And if this is even possible, it likely won’t happen for a very long time.
28. What’s the first thing we should do if we want to create a new planet
A. To prepare enough food.
B. To design its inner structure.
C. To find a proper place to set the planet.
D. To collect materials similar to our Earth.
29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Our Earth.
B. Outer space.
C. The new planet.
D. The ocean water.
30. How much food does an astronaut actually eat each meal
A. About 0.12 kilograms.
B. About 0.71 kilograms.
C. About 0.83 kilograms.
D. About 0.95 kilograms.
31. What does the author think of creating a planet
A. It is a waste of money and time.
B. It should be one of NASA’s next plans.
C. It is not a good idea for humans.
D. It won’t come true in the near future.
D
While some primary schools no longer have recess (课间休息), and people like New Jersey Governor Chris Christie argue that school days should be even longer, a few schools are already moving in a different direction. Some are testing out standing desks, and realizing that a little bit of activity can actually be good for students’ attention. Others, like Ward Elementary in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, are starting to fill classrooms with exercise bikes, so students can work out while they learn.
The Read and Ride program at Ward began five years ago. One classroom is equipped with enough exercise bikes for a full class of students, and teachers bring students there throughout the day to use them. As they ride, they read.
As the primary school studied testing data at the end of the school year, they found that students who had spent the most time in the program achieved an 83% proficiency (熟练度) in reading, while those who spent the least time in the program had failing scores — only 41% proficiency.
“Riding exercise bikes makes reading fun for many kids who get frustrated (挫败的) when they read,” says Scott Ertl, who started the program. “They have a way to deal with that frustration they feel while they ride.”
Using the bikes also gets students to exercise when they might not otherwise want to in gym class. “Many students who are overweight struggle with sports and activities since they don’t want to always be last or lose,” Ertl explains. “On exercise bikes, students can exercise at a comfortable pace (速度) according to their own level — without anyone noticing when they slow down or take a break.”
Over the last five years, the Read and Ride program has been introduced to 30 other schools.
32. Which of the following would Chris Christie agree with
A. Students should have a good rest.
B. Students should do more exercise.
C. Students should use standing desks.
D. Students should spend more time studying.
33. What do the numbers in Paragraph 3 show
A. The program helps students learn better.
B. Students show great interest in the program.
C. The program is more popular with primary schools.
D. Slow learners are more willing to take part in the program.
34. According to Scott Ertl, what’s one advantage of the program
A. It can replace the gym class.
B. It makes reading more interesting.
C. It teaches students how to lose weight.
D. It allows students to get close to nature.
35. What can we learn about the program
A. More sports activities will be added to it.
B. It has got support from the government.
C. Many people have doubts about it.
D. It has proved to be a success.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Your own backyard may be a fun place to play. You may have trees to climb, and insects (昆虫) to study. 36 . But did you know these things are related to each other through the food chain (链) Every part of nature belongs to a community where each member uses the lower members to stay alive.
Every part of the world has food chains, including the oceans and the deserts. 37 , the whole chain could fall apart. The food chain is most disturbed (扰乱) by people because we build neighborhoods on the land where animals live and we pollute the environment. Both these actions make it difficult for other living things to survive.
Still there is a lot we can do to protect the parts of food chains. Here are some ideas that can help:
38 . Make your backyard a place that other living things can enjoy. Plant more flowers and trees. And, most of all, try not to disturb the places where other animals live.
Do not pollute the environment. Recycle any material you can. 39 . Having fewer cars on the road means having better air for all of us to breathe.
Keep learning about and respecting plants, animals, and the environment. 40 . You may even pass it on to your own children someday. It’s important that as many people as possible protect nature and keep the food chain whole.
A. Share your space
B. If you ever want to see it
C. But if one part is taken away
D. We depend on each other for food and survival
E. Ride your bike or walk to places that you need to go
F. You can then pass this information on to your parents and friends
G. Maybe you hear birds singing or see your pet cat sleeping in the sun

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

My 3-year-old loves to meet new people. Unlike his introverted (内向的) mama, he always looks for new friendships. When I take him to the park, secretly hoping it’s not busy, he’s disappointed if there are “no friends” there.
When he looks up at an adult, telling him or her all about the interesting pictures on his shirt and they look in his direction for a short moment and then look away. It breaks my heart. However, it doesn’t happen too often and there are quite a lot of strangers who don’t ignore (忽略) my son.
I’ve noticed that it’s often the oldest people that are the most engaging (参与) with children in public. They take the time to greet children they see in their communities and give them their full attention. Maybe with age we all come to love them more.
I think the world could use a little more kindness, and it doesn’t take very much effort — just a smile and a simple greeting. When he says hi, you, dear stranger, should look him in the eye, say hello and ask him a question or two. I want my son to know that there’s more good out there than bad, and that most people are kind. So, it helps me when strangers don’t ignore him in public.
The other day, I took my son to a new grocery store (杂货铺) and we met an employee, who had a lot of things to do but took the time to greet my son. She said, “What big, beautiful blue eyes you have!” She made him feel special. On the way home, he said he wanted to go there again to tell her what was going on in his life.
She is among the many kind people who engage with my kid. Thank you, all the kind strangers out there, for not ignoring my son. It takes a village to raise a child. You give me hope that a nice village for our kids really can exist.
1. What does the little boy like to do
A. Play with old friends.
B. Ask a lot of questions.
C. Look others in their eyes.
D. Communicate with strangers.
2. How does the author feel when strangers talk with her son
A. Proud.
B. Thankful.
C. Worried.
D. Surprised.
3. What does the little boy probably think of the employee
A. She is a bit cold.
B. She is too serious.
C. She is a nice friend.
D. She is a funny woman.
4. What can be the best title for the text
A. Thank you, my nice village
B. Thank you, our new friends
C. Dear son, please be careful about strangers
D. Dear stranger, my son needs your attention
B
Norwich is the capital of East Anglia, an area on the east coast of England which is famous for its natural beauty and beautiful architecture. Norwich is a wonderful city to visit and is popular with tourists all year round.
Norwich is not a city of luxurious (豪华的) hotels but it has a good selection of reasonably priced places to stay in, both in the city centre and further out. The Beeches Hotel, for example, next to the cathedral (大教堂), has a beautiful Victorian garden and has just over twenty double fortable accommodation (住宿) costs 65 for two nights’ bed and breakfast per person; weekend breaks from October to May cost 59 per person. Norwich is famous for its great cathedral. The cathedral has a summer programme of music and events which is open to the general public. One event, “Fire from Heaven”, is a drama and musical performance (表演) with fireworks, a laser light show and a carnival (狂欢节) with local people dressed in colourful clothes.
Norwich is also home to the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, a world-class collection of international art in a building at the University of East Anglia designed by Sir Norman Foster. This is well worth a visit and there is a lovely restaurant with an excellent selection of hot and cold snacks.
The city has a new theatre, the Playhouse, on the River Wensum. The city’s yearly international arts festival is from 10-20 October. Not on the classic tourist list but well worth a visit are the factory shoe shops in Norwich (for men, women and children). Here you can buy shoes for less than half the shop price.
Finally, if you want to have a complete break from the stresses of everyday life, you could spend a few days sailing along the rivers of the famous Norfolk Broads. The Broads have changed for the better in recent years. In our environmentally friendly age, it has moved towards the quiet enjoyment of nature and wildlife. You can take a boat, big or small, for an hour or two or even up to a week or two. This makes a perfect day out or holiday for people of all ages.
5. What does the author think of the Beeches Hotel’s prices
A. Standard.
B. Affordable.
C. Competitive.
D. Unreasonable.
6. Where is the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts located
A. In the Playhouse.
B. Next to the cathedral.
C. Next to the Beeches Hotel.
D. At the University of East Anglia.
7. In the middle of October, what would most probably take place in Norwich
A. A big shoe sale.
B. A famous fireworks show.
C. An international arts festival.
D. A carnival along Norfolk Broads.
8. What’s the purpose of the author in writing this text
A. To attract tourists to Norwich.
B. To introduce the history of Norwich.
C. To list different holidays in Norwich.
D. To describe the colourful life in Norwich.

One possible version:
Dear Jack,
I’m glad to hear from you. I’d like to introduce Zhang Qian, one of the earliest travellers of the Silk Road.
Zhang Qian was a great traveller and explorer during the Han dynasty. He was sent to the western regions twice, opening the east-west route connecting China’s Han with the western regions. He introduced silk and other products to the west and brought back many important new products and knowledge of technologies of the outside world. What he did encourages me to learn English well in order to be a bridge between China and the world.
If you want to learn more about Zhang Qian, I can find you some books about him. Just let me know.
Yours,
Li Hua

William Kamkwamba lives in Malawi, Africa, where most people have to grow their own food and have no electricity or running water. In 2001, when he was 14 years old, there was a terrible drought (干旱) and most families, including William’s, couldn’t grow enough food.
Because of the drought, William’s family couldn’t afford to send him to school anymore. So one day, William went to the library near his home to study. He found a science book called Using Energy, which included instructions for building a windmill (风车). Windmills are good sources of electricity, and they can bring water up from underground. William didn’t know much English, and he wasn’t able to understand most of the book, but it was full of pictures. Looking at the pictures, William thought he could build a windmill for his family.
When William started building his windmill, a lot of people laughed at him, including his mother. But William saw the photo of the windmill in the book. That meant someone else was able to build it, so he knew he could build it, too. He didn’t have the parts and equipment that he saw in the book’s pictures. So he looked for parts in junkyards to build his machine.
William changed his design little by little. First, the windmill powered only one light bulb (灯泡). Finally, it powered four lights. Then there was enough electricity for four lights and a radio. No one laughed at William after that, and people in his town started to come to his house to get power for their cell phones. Later, William built a second windmill. This one brought water up from underground. After that, William began to teach other people how to build windmills.
Now he uses his website, movingwindmills.org, to educate and give hope to people. His main message is this: “To the Africans and the poor who are struggling (挣扎) with your dreams ... trust yourself and believe. Whatever happens, don’t give up.”
24. What was William’s primary purpose of building a windmill
A. To set up a family business.
B. To do a science experiment.
C. To realize his childhood dream.
D. To bring electricity to his family.
25. What was William’s mother’s attitude toward his building a windmill at first
A. Hopeful. B. Worried.
C. Doubtful. D. Uninterested.
26. What can we learn about William’s first windmill
A. It was sold at a high price.
B. It was made of thrown-away things.
C. It could bring water up from underground.
D. It looked the same as the photo in Using Energy.
27. Which of the following can best describe William
A. Honest. B. Humorous.
C. Self-centered. D. Strong-minded.
C
These days, it seems like everyone wants to go out into space and live on new planets. Rather than depend on another pre-existing (已存在的) planet, could we make a new, proper planet ourselves
To start with, if we’d want to be living on it, we should find a good place in space to put the new planet. We’d want it to be in a habitable zone, meaning the planet should be at the right distance from its star to make sure there would be perfect temperatures and most importantly, liquid water.
We’d also need the right materials to make the planet. Our Earth is made up of many different elements (元素). If we made our own new planet, we’d probably want it to have similar elements and a similar structure (结构). We’d also want enough water to form some oceans.
But even if we get all of the materials, creating a new planet like Earth could have many troubles. It might be something more like a huge space station. It would be pretty expensive if we wanted it to be super big.
We would probably also need a lot of food, since there’s going to be many scientists and astronauts out in space working on this project!
According to NASA, each astronaut uses about 0.83 kilograms of food per meal, including 0.12 kilograms of packaging (包装) material. Without the weight of the packaging material, we’d need about 780 kilograms of food just to feed one astronaut for a year.
Putting all these together could make it possible to make our own planet one day! In reality, creating a new planet would probably require a very modern technology and there would be tons of other things to think about. And if this is even possible, it likely won’t happen for a very long time.
28. What’s the first thing we should do if we want to create a new planet
A. To prepare enough food.
B. To design its inner structure.
C. To find a proper place to set the planet.
D. To collect materials similar to our Earth.
29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Our Earth.
B. Outer space.
C. The new planet.
D. The ocean water.
30. How much food does an astronaut actually eat each meal
A. About 0.12 kilograms.
B. About 0.71 kilograms.
C. About 0.83 kilograms.
D. About 0.95 kilograms.
31. What does the author think of creating a planet
A. It is a waste of money and time.
B. It should be one of NASA’s next plans.
C. It is not a good idea for humans.
D. It won’t come true in the near future.
D
While some primary schools no longer have recess (课间休息), and people like New Jersey Governor Chris Christie argue that school days should be even longer, a few schools are already moving in a different direction. Some are testing out standing desks, and realizing that a little bit of activity can actually be good for students’ attention. Others, like Ward Elementary in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, are starting to fill classrooms with exercise bikes, so students can work out while they learn.
The Read and Ride program at Ward began five years ago. One classroom is equipped with enough exercise bikes for a full class of students, and teachers bring students there throughout the day to use them. As they ride, they read.
As the primary school studied testing data at the end of the school year, they found that students who had spent the most time in the program achieved an 83% proficiency (熟练度) in reading, while those who spent the least time in the program had failing scores — only 41% proficiency.
“Riding exercise bikes makes reading fun for many kids who get frustrated (挫败的) when they read,” says Scott Ertl, who started the program. “They have a way to deal with that frustration they feel while they ride.”
Using the bikes also gets students to exercise when they might not otherwise want to in gym class. “Many students who are overweight struggle with sports and activities since they don’t want to always be last or lose,” Ertl explains. “On exercise bikes, students can exercise at a comfortable pace (速度) according to their own level — without anyone noticing when they slow down or take a break.”
Over the last five years, the Read and Ride program has been introduced to 30 other schools.
32. Which of the following would Chris Christie agree with
A. Students should have a good rest.
B. Students should do more exercise.
C. Students should use standing desks.
D. Students should spend more time studying.
33. What do the numbers in Paragraph 3 show
A. The program helps students learn better.
B. Students show great interest in the program.
C. The program is more popular with primary schools.
D. Slow learners are more willing to take part in the program.
34. According to Scott Ertl, what’s one advantage of the program
A. It can replace the gym class.
B. It makes reading more interesting.
C. It teaches students how to lose weight.
D. It allows students to get close to nature.
35. What can we learn about the program
A. More sports activities will be added to it.
B. It has got support from the government.
C. Many people have doubts about it.
D. It has proved to be a success.

Your own backyard may be a fun place to play. You may have trees to climb, and insects (昆虫) to study. 36 . But did you know these things are related to each other through the food chain (链) Every part of nature belongs to a community where each member uses the lower members to stay alive.
Every part of the world has food chains, including the oceans and the deserts. 37 , the whole chain could fall apart. The food chain is most disturbed (扰乱) by people because we build neighborhoods on the land where animals live and we pollute the environment. Both these actions make it difficult for other living things to survive.
Still there is a lot we can do to protect the parts of food chains. Here are some ideas that can help:
38 . Make your backyard a place that other living things can enjoy. Plant more flowers and trees. And, most of all, try not to disturb the places where other animals live.
Do not pollute the environment. Recycle any material you can. 39 . Having fewer cars on the road means having better air for all of us to breathe.
Keep learning about and respecting plants, animals, and the environment. 40 . You may even pass it on to your own children someday. It’s important that as many people as possible protect nature and keep the food chain whole.
A. Share your space
B. If you ever want to see it
C. But if one part is taken away
D. We depend on each other for food and survival
E. Ride your bike or walk to places that you need to go
F. You can then pass this information on to your parents and friends
G. Maybe you hear birds singing or see your pet cat sleeping in the sun

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
My 3-year-old loves to meet new people. Unlike his introverted (内向的) mama, he always looks for new friendships. When I take him to the park, secretly hoping it’s not busy, he’s disappointed if there are “no friends” there.
When he looks up at an adult, telling him or her all about the interesting pictures on his shirt and they look in his direction for a short moment and then look away. It breaks my heart. However, it doesn’t happen too often and there are quite a lot of strangers who don’t ignore (忽略) my son.
I’ve noticed that it’s often the oldest people that are the most engaging (参与) with children in public. They take the time to greet children they see in their communities and give them their full attention. Maybe with age we all come to love them more.
I think the world could use a little more kindness, and it doesn’t take very much effort — just a smile and a simple greeting. When he says hi, you, dear stranger, should look him in the eye, say hello and ask him a question or two. I want my son to know that there’s more good out there than bad, and that most people are kind. So, it helps me when strangers don’t ignore him in public.
The other day, I took my son to a new grocery store (杂货铺) and we met an employee, who had a lot of things to do but took the time to greet my son. She said, “What big, beautiful blue eyes you have!” She made him feel special. On the way home, he said he wanted to go there again to tell her what was going on in his life.
She is among the many kind people who engage with my kid. Thank you, all the kind strangers out there, for not ignoring my son. It takes a village to raise a child. You give me hope that a nice village for our kids really can exist.

Norwich is the capital of East Anglia, an area on the east coast of England which is famous for its natural beauty and beautiful architecture. Norwich is a wonderful city to visit and is popular with tourists all year round.
Norwich is not a city of luxurious (豪华的) hotels but it has a good selection of reasonably priced places to stay in, both in the city centre and further out. The Beeches Hotel, for example, next to the cathedral (大教堂), has a beautiful Victorian garden and has just over twenty double fortable accommodation (住宿) costs 65 for two nights’ bed and breakfast per person; weekend breaks from October to May cost 59 per person. Norwich is famous for its great cathedral. The cathedral has a summer programme of music and events which is open to the general public. One event, “Fire from Heaven”, is a drama and musical performance (表演) with fireworks, a laser light show and a carnival (狂欢节) with local people dressed in colourful clothes.
Norwich is also home to the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, a world-class collection of international art in a building at the University of East Anglia designed by Sir Norman Foster. This is well worth a visit and there is a lovely restaurant with an excellent selection of hot and cold snacks.
The city has a new theatre, the Playhouse, on the River Wensum. The city’s yearly international arts festival is from 10-20 October. Not on the classic tourist list but well worth a visit are the factory shoe shops in Norwich (for men, women and children). Here you can buy shoes for less than half the shop price.
Finally, if you want to have a complete break from the stresses of everyday life, you could spend a few days sailing along the rivers of the famous Norfolk Broads. The Broads have changed for the better in recent years. In our environmentally friendly age, it has moved towards the quiet enjoyment of nature and wildlife. You can take a boat, big or small, for an hour or two or even up to a week or two. This makes a perfect day out or holiday for people of all ages.

书面表达
One possible version:
Dear Jack,
I’m glad to hear from you. I’d like to introduce Zhang Qian, one of the earliest travellers of the Silk Road.
Zhang Qian was a great traveller and explorer during the Han dynasty. He was sent to the western regions twice, opening the east-west route connecting China’s Han with the western regions. He introduced silk and other products to the west and brought back many important new products and knowledge of technologies of the outside world. What he did encourages me to learn English well in order to be a bridge between China and the world.
If you want to learn more about Zhang Qian, I can find you some books about him. Just let me know.
Yours,
Li Hua
