The next day I looked for a pen and some paper among my things. I made two lists:
BAD GOOD
I am alone. There is nobody here to talk to or to help me. 53 I don’t have much protection (保护) against wild animals. Nobody is going to come and save me. I am alive. My friends are dead. It’s hot here, so I don’t need warm clothes. There aren’t any wild animals here. I can live well because 1 was able to save a lot of useful things from the ship.
I looked at my lists and I thought, “These lists show something important. We can always find something good in a bad situation If we look for it, I must stop feeling sad and sorry for myself. My new life is here, on this island. I must make it as comfortable as I can.”
I started by making my house stronger. I built thick walls and put branches on the roof to keep out the rain. I put up some shelves and put my things on them. I made some furniture---two tables and a chair. They weren’t very beautiful but they were very useful. I made a small cave at the back of my house. It was cool and a good place to keep food. I called it my “kitchen”.
Time passed quickly because I was always busy. In the mornings I went for a long walk in the woods and hills with my dog. I caught birds and small animals for food. When I came back, I worked until about eleven o’clock. Then I prepared something to eat. I rested between midday and two o’clock because it was very hot. In the evenings I did some more work or I took out my pen and ink and wrote about my life on the island. At seven o’clock I went to bed because it got dark early on the island. Sometimes it rained all day and the wind was strong, so I had to stay inside.
53. Which of the following is the best sentence to be put into the blank 53
A. I have no warm clothes. B. I have no healthy food.
C. I have no comfortable house. D. I have no satisfied tool.
54. The underlined word it in the second paragraph probably means __________.
A. the situation B. the island C. the home D. new life
55. Robinson didn’t work outside because of __________.
A. wild animals B. bad weather C. loneliness D. tiredness
56. How did Robinson make his new life as comfortable as possible
A. By resting in the afternoon. B. By raising a dog.
C. By making the house a home. D. By walking a long walk.
D
About 1,101 manatees died in Florida last year, many from hunger. So last December, government wildlife experts (专家) came up with a plan to give food to the manatees. They decided to feed them green vegetables like lettuce and cabbage. Ron Mezich, an expert, said, “We’re making a difference.” So far, they have served up more than 193,000 pounds of lettuce to hungry manatees.
Manatees are huge sea animals that only eat sea grass and other plants that live in the sea. That’s one reason why they’re sometimes called “sea cows”.
Since 1967, Florida’s manatees have been on the US government’s list of endangered animals. Most dangers to manatees come from humans. One of the biggest problems facing the animals are boats. Thousands of manatees were hit or killed by boats. At one point, there were only about 2,000 manatees left in Florida. With protection, the number increased. In 2016, there were more than 6,000 manatees.
However, as sea grass began to disappear, the number of manatees keeps going down again. Warming seas with polluted water have created huge growths of algae (藻) on the ocean’s surface. The algae blocks the sunlight that allows the sea grass to grow. In Indian River Lagoon, where manatees often go in the winter, about 90% of the sea grass beds there have died off. Florida will work to help restore (恢复) sea grass beds. But that will take time. Scientists still worry that hundreds more manatees could starve this winter.
57. How has the number of manatees changed over years
A. B.
C. D.
58. Which shows the correct order of the reasons for manatees’ death
A. sea pollution → growth of algae → death of sea grass → death of manatees
B. growth of algae → sea pollution → death of sea grass → death of manatees
C. sea pollution → death of sea grass→ growth of algae → death of manatees
D. growth of algae → death of sea grass→ sea pollution → death of manatees
59. What is the meaning of the underlined word “starve”
A. to be hit by boats B. to eat up sea grass
C. to die from hunger D. to lose swimming ability
60. Which is the best title for this passage
A. Manatees Feeding Program B. Money Given to Save Manatees
C. Sea Grass Beds Restored for Manatees D. Reasons for Manatees’ Death Still Unclear

Sometimes, we see some people reading books while biting their nails (指甲). We may think it is a kind of behavior that means they are focused (专心的). But in fact, it is more than that and science has proved it.
Nail biting can begin at an early age. According to the BBC, up to 45 percent of teenagers bite their nails.
There is not an exact answer to explain why people bite their nails. But most commonly, nail biting is said to be a nervous habit. It is done because of stress, boredom or excitement.
What’s more, scientists found that people with higher levels of intelligence (智力) are the ones who start biting their nails at an early age. They believe that compared with the average person, those with higher levels of intelligence may feel higher levels of stress more easily.
This habit is bad for the biters. It can give them red or sore fingertips. And long-term nail biting can affect (影响) how our nails grow.
But don’t worry! There are many ways to stop biting your nails. First, keep your nails clean. The more you focus on (集中于) taking care of your nails, the less likely you are to start biting them again. Also, when you feel stressed, try to relax. Doing exercise or having a warm bath both help.
Nail biting
Introduction It can start when people are _____________ (77). Up to 45 percent of teenagers have the ______________ (78).
__________ (79) It has something to do with a nervous habit because people feel stressed, bored or excited. The higher levels of intelligence people have, the higher levels of stress they may feel, and the more likely they will bite their nails.

Reading plays an important part in our lives, for we can improve ourselves by reading. I’v read many books since I entered middle school.

The other one will have to sleep with my horses in another big house. I’m afraid the big house may smell terrible.” “I’ll sleep in the big house.” Tom said. But half an hour later there was a loud knock on the door of the farmer’s house. Tom stood outside the door and said, “The smell there is terrible. I can’t sleep at all.” “All right,” said Mike. “I’ll sleep in that house.” So he went off to it. After a few minutes there was another knock on the door. “I can’t sleep, either,” said Mike. “How can that be ” said Jack, “Let me try.” About twenty minutes later came another knock. When they opened the door, Tom and Mike were surprised to see all the horses outside.2022-2023学年度第二学期期中考试 七、阅读填空（本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分）

BAD GOOD
I am alone. There is nobody here to talk to I am alive. My friends are dead.
or to help me. It’s hot here, so I don’t need warm
53 clothes.
I don’t have much protection (保护) against There aren’t any wild animals here.
wild animals. I can live well because 1 was able to
Nobody is going to come and save me. save a lot of useful things from the ship.
I looked at my lists and I thought, “These lists show something important. We can always
find something good in a bad situation If we look for it, I must stop feeling sad and sorry for
myself. My new life is here, on this island. I must make it as comfortable as I can.”
I started by making my house stronger. I built thick walls and put branches on the roof to
keep out the rain. I put up some shelves and put my things on them. I made some furniture---two
tables and a chair. They weren’t very beautiful but they were very useful. I made a small cave at
the back of my house. It was cool and a good place to keep food. I called it my “kitchen”.
Time passed quickly because I was always busy. In the mornings I went for a long walk in
the woods and hills with my dog. I caught birds and small animals for food. When I came back, I
worked until about eleven o’clock. Then I prepared something to eat. I rested between midday
and two o’clock because it was very hot. In the evenings I did some more work or I took out my
pen and ink and wrote about my life on the island. At seven o’clock I went to bed because it got
dark early on the island. Sometimes it rained all day and the wind was strong, so I had to stay
inside.

About 1,101 manatees died in Florida last year, many from hunger. So last
December, government wildlife experts (专家) came up with a plan to give food
to the manatees. They decided to feed them green vegetables like lettuce and
cabbage. Ron Mezich, an expert, said, “We’re making a difference.” So far,
they have served up more than 193,000 pounds of lettuce to hungry manatees.
Manatees are huge sea animals that only eat sea grass and other plants that
live in the sea. That’s one reason why they’re sometimes called “sea cows”.
Since 1967, Florida’s manatees have been on the US government’s list of endangered
animals. Most dangers to manatees come from humans. One of the biggest problems facing the
animals are boats. Thousands of manatees were hit or killed by boats. At one point, there were
only about 2,000 manatees left in Florida. With protection, the number increased. In 2016, there
were more than 6,000 manatees.
However, as sea grass began to disappear, the number of manatees keeps going down again.
Warming seas with polluted water have created huge growths of algae (藻) on the ocean’s
surface. The algae blocks the sunlight that allows the sea grass to grow. In Indian River Lagoon,
where manatees often go in the winter, about 90% of the sea grass beds there have died off.
Florida will work to help restore (恢复) sea grass beds. But that will take time. Scientists still
worry that hundreds more manatees could starve this winter.
57. How has the number of manatees changed over years
A.
B. A. B.
C. D.
58. Which shows the correct order of the reasons for manatees’ death
A. sea pollution → growth of algae → death of sea grass → death of manatees
B. growth of algae → sea pollution → death of sea grass → death of manatees
8
C. sea pollution → death of sea grass→ growth of algae → death of manatees
D. growth of algae → death of sea grass→ sea pollution → death of manatees
59. What is the meaning of the underlined word “starve”
A. to be hit by boats B. to eat up sea grass
C. to die from hunger D. to lose swimming ability
60. Which is the best title for this passage
A. Manatees Feeding Program B. Money Given to Save Manatees
C. Sea Grass Beds Restored for Manatees D. Reasons for Manatees’ Death Still Unclear

Sometimes, we see some people reading books while biting their nails (指甲). We may
think it is a kind of behavior that means they are focused (专心的). But in fact, it is more than
that and science has proved it.
Nail biting can begin at an early age. According to the BBC, up to 45 percent of teenagers
bite their nails.
There is not an exact answer to explain why people bite their nails. But most commonly,
nail biting is said to be a nervous habit. It is done because of stress, boredom or excitement.
What’s more, scientists found that people with higher levels of intelligence (智力) are the
ones who start biting their nails at an early age. They believe that compared with the average
person, those with higher levels of intelligence may feel higher levels of stress more easily.
This habit is bad for the biters. It can give them red or sore fingertips. And long-term nail
biting can affect (影响) how our nails grow.
But don’t worry! There are many ways to stop biting your nails. First, keep your nails clean.
The more you focus on (集中于) taking care of your nails, the less likely you are to start biting
them again. Also, when you feel stressed, try to relax. Doing exercise or having a warm bath
both help.
Nail biting
It can start when people are _____________ (77).
