五、 阅读理解。
Everyone has got two personalities (性格)—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
If you go to sleep on your back, you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don’t like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
If you sleep on curled up (蜷缩) , you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced (平衡的) personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don't often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry.
(　　)1. You may find the passage in __________.
A. a science magazine B. a guide book C. a sports newspaper D. a story book
(　　)2. When does the sleeping position best show your secret personality

五、 阅读理解。
Influenza, or flu(流感), is a type of virus(病毒). It spreads from one person to another quickly. When someone who has the flu coughs or sneezes, little droplets from their lungs(肺) spread out into the air. Anyone nearby can get sick. Even a person who touches something with the virus and then touches his or her mouth, eyes, or nose, can become infected(感染).
The outbreak of the 1918 influenza infected about 500 million people worldwide. It killed from 20 million to 50 million people. It was first seen in Europe, the United States, and parts of Asia. It then spread quickly around the world. Many people who became sick were young, healthy adults. At the time, no treatments worked in the prevention of the spread of the killer flu. People were ordered to wear masks. Schools, theaters and other public places were closed.
When the first wave(波) in the spring of 1918 hit, it didn't seem serious. People who were infected felt the usual flu symptoms(症状), which are chills, fevers, and feeling tired. Those who got sick generally got better after several days. Not many died. However, a second, highly contagious(传染的) wave of influenza appeared in the fall of that same year. Victims died shortly after they were infected—within hours or days. Their skin turned blue and their lungs were filled with liquid(液体), making it very difficult to breathe.
By the summer of 1919, the flu pandemic(大流行病) came to an end. Sick people had either got well or died. Almost 90 years later, in 2008, researchers announced they'd discovered why the 1918 flu was so deadly. The flu virus inflamed(使……恶化) the lungs, causing them to fill with liquid.
Since 1918, there have been several other influenza pandemics, although none has been quite as deadly.
(　　)1. What information about the 1918 flu is mentioned in the passage
A. The reason why it was so deadly. 　　B. The reason why it ended.
C. The change it caused to medical research. 　　D. The place in which it was last seen.
(　　)2. All the people that were infected with the 1918 flu ________.
A. had blue skin that led to their death 　　B. had touched someone with the virus
C. died as their lungs were filled with liquid 　　D. had the virus in their bodies that made them sick
(　　)3. Which of the following statements about the 1918 flu is TRUE according to the passage
A. Wearing a mask was the best way to treat it.
B. A younger person had a lower risk of being infected with it.
C. People expected the coming of its second wave, but couldn't stop it.
D. It was deadlier than any other influenza pandemic in modern history.
六、 首字母填空。
A man had a garden. He planted a rose and watered it c 1 . Before the rose blossomed(盛开), he noticed many thorns(刺) around the bud(花蕾) and he thought, “H 2 can any beautiful flower come from a plant with so many sharp thorns？” Because of this i 3 , he lost interest in this kind of plant, then he gave up watering the rose. And just b 4 it was ready to blossom, it died.
Good qualities are just like roses. There is a rose in e 5 spirit. The good qualities planted in us at birth, grow among the thorns—our weaknesses. Many of us look at o 6 and we only see our weaknesses. We lose heart, thinking that n 7 good can possibly come from us. We give up watering the roses in us, and slowly they die. We never realize the g 8 of being able to find out our good qualities.
Someone may not see the rose in himself, so we need to help him discover the rose. With love, we can a 9 a person into our life, even though we know his true weaknesses. At the same time, we should encourage him to f 10 his weaknesses bravely and correct them. Then he will blossom many times.

Around the hill, there were small lakes and farmland, People grew crops for a living. Children went to a small primary school with 3 grades. There were dirt roads(泥土) connecting（连接）the village to the town about 5 kilometres away.
Now, the hill is no longer there. At the place of the hill, people built the railway station. The government pulled down most of the low houses and built some residential buildings for the villagers. Some highways were built too. And the primary school is no longer there.

But the changes have also brought many problems. Some people can't get used to living in tall buildings. And more people and more factories bring more pollution. As there are fewer trees, more wild animals have been away from this area.

三、 阅读理解(每小题1.5分，共15分)
A
It was one of the honest days of the dry season. There was no rain for about a month. Cows stopped giving milk. On this day I saw a wonder.
I was making lunch when I saw my six-year-old son Billy walking very slowly to the woods. Minutes later, he ran to the house. Soon after that, I saw him walking to the woods again. This went on for an hour. Finally I walked out of the house quietly and followed him.
Billy cupped（窝成杯状）both hands in front of him as he walked, careful not to drop the water he carried. Then I saw an amazing sight. Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them. I saw a tiny baby deer lying on the ground. It was dying of thirst, and it lifted its head to drink the water in my boy's hands.
When the water was gone, Billy ran back to the house. I followed him to the tap. Billy turned it on and let the water slowly fill up his "cup". When he stood up and turned, I was there in front of him. His eyes were filled with tears. "I'm not wasting water, Mum," he said. I joined him with a bottle of water from the kitchen. I let him walk to the baby deer alone while I stood meters away. As tears rolled down my face, they were suddenly joined by other drops… and more drops... as if the sky itself was crying.
(　　)1. What was the weather like
A. Hot and dry. B. Cold and rainy. C. Warm and cloudy. D. Cool and sunny.
(　　)2. What did the mother see when she was making lunch
A. She saw Billy playing with some cows.
B. She saw several large deer eating grass behind her house
C. She saw Billy walking from the woods to the house again and again.
D. She saw a tiny baby deer lying on the ground.
(　　)3. In the beginning Billy carried the water to the baby deer with __________________.
A. a bottle B. his hands C. a cup D. his mouth
(　　)4. The mother thought Billy was a (an) _____________ boy.
A. honest B. brave C. funny D. helpful
(　　)5. From the last sentence of the passage, we can know ____________________.
A. the mother was sorry for the deer B. the dry season ended and it started to rain
C. the wonder was that the baby deer could cry D. Billy wasted water and began to cry
B
If we are asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we cannot remember. But if we had kept a notebook and had written in it an account(陈述) of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.
It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we have not written down the facts. Sometimes men did keep a record of the important happenings in their country, but it was often destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a lot about the people who lived in China 4，000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in Central Africa because they had not learnt to write.
Sometimes, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. Songs, dances and oral(口头的) stories are handed down from generation(代) to generation. People are proud to tell or get to know what their fathers did in the past. This is what we may call “remembered history”. Words may be easily changed when songs and oral stories go from one person to another. In spite of this, when there are no written records, such remembered history is very helpful.
(　　)6. Which of the following ideas is NOT included in the passage
A. Remembered history is less reliable(可靠的) than written history.
B. Written records of the past are very important for us to learn about our history.
C. Not all the people in the world know how to record their history in writing.
D. If there are no written records, there is no history.
(　　)7. We know very little about Central Africa 200 years ago because ________.
A. there was nothing worth writing down at that time
B. the people there paid no attention to the importance of keeping a record
C. the written records were destroyed by fire
D. the people there did not know how to write
(　　)8. Remembered history refers to ________.
A. history based on a person's imagination
B. stories of important happenings passing down from mouth to mouth
C. songs and dances about the most important events
D. both B and C
(　　)9. Remembered history is considered as valuable only when ________.
A. it is written down　 B. there is no written records
C. it proves to be true　 D. people are interested in it
(　　)10. The passage suggests that we could have learnt much more about our past than we do now if the ancient people had ________.
A. kept a record of every past event
B. not destroyed their written records in wars
C. told the exact stories of the most important happenings
D. made more songs and dances

五、 任务型阅读(每小题1分，共10分)
Do you want to make homework simpler Oxford Learning founder and CEO Dr. Nick Whitehead, said, "Homework might be an unavoidable (不可避免的) part in school, but it doesn’t have to be the boring part. With the right skills in place, students can turn homework from headache-including to trouble-free." These steps will make an obvious difference.
Use your notebooks
The brain is able to finish great works, but it is not perfect. Students should never rely on (依赖) it to remember all school details. When a teacher assigns homework, students should write the details in their notebooks. According to Whitehead, to make them effective, students need to remember to take the notebooks out of their school bags at night, open them up, and read over the night’s list.
