（10分）
Zhao Pei, 15, Zhejiang Huangmei Opera is my favorite kind of art. It's a cultural treasure (财富) of the Chinese nation. I don't have any singing skills myself, but I do enjoy listening to it. Huangmei Opera's songs are soft and beautiful. Its stories are lively. What's more，its costumes that performers wear are beautiful and the philosophy (哲理) within its stories is true. However, Huangmei Opera is less popular than it used to be. Fewer people are willing to watch it. I hope more people will understand and love it in the future. This cultural heritage (遗产) needs to be passed on from generation (一代人) to generation.
Hu Xinyue, 13, Guangdong Out of all sports, I like table tennis best. I think it is not only a sport, but also an art form (形式). It is a culture of China. It's a game that needs both strength (力量) and skill. To most people, table tennis doesn't take strength. That's not true. When we play table tennis, we need to judge (判断) the direction and hit the ball with great strength in order to beat our opponent (对手). After a match, you will feel very tired if you have tried your best. The ball moves very quickly during matches. And if you watch professional (专业的) play, you'll notice that the players' movements (动作) are beautiful. Playing table tennis can not only help build up our bodies, but also train our brains. Even though I'm not good at it, I'm quite confident that I can get better.

（10分） A couple of weeks ago, my friend offered (sell) some of our things for us. I thought it was a good chance to clean my 7-year-old son's room and deal with some toys that were no longer suitable for him to play . We agreed that all the money we got from selling the toys would be his money.
The night before the sale, we filled the truck with toys and a little bike that was too small for him. This little bike had at least two previous (先前的) (own) as far as we know. It wasn't in the best shape and was (certain) not new, but the tires were still good.
We put a price of $10 on it, it didn't sell. So, after the sale was over, my friend put it on the sidewalk with a sign that said "FREE BIKE". Within five minutes her doorbell rang. little boy was standing there. In poor English he asked the bike was really free or not. She said yes and that he could have it for nothing. He smiled, got on the bike and rode away.
Later that evening when I told my son how much money he had made at the sale, he was very excited, (shout) happily. He asked about a few of his things, wondering if they had been sold. When he asked about the bike, I told him about the little boy and that made him (smile). He was much (happy) than when I told him how much money he had made. He was so happy to hear that someone else would make good use of that little bike!
（10分）Although some people may not remember who killed him, they remember what they were doing when they heard the news.
尽管有些人可能不记得是谁杀了他，但是他们记得听到这个消息时他们正在干什么。
本句结构较为复杂。首先，它是含有让步状语从句的复合句，其中 although 引导 状语从句；从句中的“who killed him”和主句中的“what they were doing”都是 从句；“when they heard the news”是 when 引导的时间状语从句。
（10分）
"Thank you" is one of the first few phrases that our English teacher taught us. Each time we receive help from someone else, we say "Thank you". We may say it many times a day. It seems that "Thank you" is quite popular among us in China. Is it as popular as in the UK
Last summer, one of my friends went on a trip to Britain. There she did an old man a favour, but he didn't say "Thank you" to her. She was puzzled.
According to a recent British survey, "Thank you" is only the 20th most popular way of showing thanks in the UK. Nowadays fewer people choose it to express their thanks. People prefer to say "Cheers" instead. For example, when friends invite each other for a drink after a game, a "Cheers" is the most usual way to replace "Thanks". Besides, the words "Great", "Nice one" and "All right" can be heard very often. And there are also other special ways to say "Thanks". For example, when a stranger is really helpful to others, they may say "Much appreciated". What's more, if you're too nervous to say thanks, you can use the body language like a smile instead.
So you see, it doesn't matter how you express your thanks. You should just show your politeness in a friendly way.
(1) Chinese kid may first learn to say "Thank you" at _____.
A．kindergarten B．junior school C．high school D．primary school
(2) The underlined phrase in the second paragraph may mean "_____".
A．preferred B．helped C．greeted D．interrupted
(3) In the UK, there are now at least _____ different ways to say "thanks".
A．five B．ten C．fifteen D．twenty
(4) The British most probably say "_____" if you order a drink for him/ her.
A．Right B．Cheers C．Wonderful D．Amazing
(5) In Britain, what would you say to a stranger who's helped you
A．No thanks. B．What a shame!
C．Much appreciated. D．No problem.
(6) You can express your thanks to someone who's helped you by _____.
A．smiling kindly B．eye contact C．keeping silent D．shaking head
