This June I had a great time working on a city farm. Our teacher told us that a city farm was looking for young people to help with the animals. My classmates and I called the farm and a few days later we were on the farm! There were pigs, ducks, horses and chickens on the farm. I fed the horses and helped children to ride horses. Sue
I made my first film this June. It all started when I read an interview (访谈) with a young film-maker. He said he made films using his mobile phone. I told my friends I was interested in trying this and they all said it would be really cool. First, I had to think of an idea. Everyone said that the film needed to be short and easy. In the end, I decided to make a cartoon (动画片) called Into Space. You can watch it on my school website (网站). Matt

Kodinhi is a village in Kerala, India. There are about 2,000 families living in the village. One interesting fact about the village is that there are more than 400 sets of twins (双胞胎). And the number keeps increasing every year.
Nobody knows why the village has so many twins. Some people say it is because of genes (基因), but local doctor, Dr Sribiju, doesn't think so. He says that there haven't always been twins in Kodinhi — parents suddenly started having them a few years ago. He doesn't believe that pollution has caused the twins to be born. If so, there would be more twins with malformations (畸形). Luckily, most of Kodinhi's twins are born healthy. Dr Sribiju thinks that the twins are born because of something the villagers eat or drink. He wants to find out just what that is, so that he can use it to help others who can't have children.
Having twins in Kodinhi can be a burden on a family. It's expensive. And it can be dangerous for the mother's health. That's why the villagers of Kodinhi have started a group (团体). The group is called the Twins and Kin Association, or TAKA for short. The head of the group is Pullani Bhaskaran. He has twin sons. He wants all the twins in Kodinhi to join the group so that they can help each other.
( )6. What do we know about Kodinhi from Paragraph 1
A. Its size.
B. Its population.
C. The number of families.
D. The number of children.
( )7. Dr Sribiju thinks Kodinhi has so many twins because _______.
A. the village has a great doctor
B. the village has a pollution problem
C. the villagers are born with a special gene
D. the villagers eat or drink something special
( )8. What does the underlined word “burden” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese
A. 负担 B. 责任 C. 秘密 D. 矛盾
( )9. The villagers started TAKA to _______.
A. advise people to visit Kodinhi
B. solve the problem of pollution
C. tell people how to give birth to twins
D. give help to the twins and their families
( )10. What's the best title for the passage

B. A twin village in India
C. Dr Sribiju's research
D. The growing population

六、任务型阅读（本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成句子。
If you have decided to be a doctor or an engineer (工程师), it's easy to get information about how to become one. But it's difficult if you want to know how to be an actor. No one can say, “First do this, then do that, and one day you will be an actor.” But I can tell you something that will help.
Learning to be an actor usually starts at school. Drama (戏剧) lessons and clubs at school can teach students many things, like different ways of acting and how to write plays. Writing helps you know more about acting.
However, school lessons and clubs are only one small part of learning about being an actor. Find small theatre groups near where you live. Don't worry about being the star. And never mind only having one word to say in a play, because it will still help you improve. You need to be on stage (舞台) as much as possible, in different kinds of plays.
When you finish school, you should think about going to university to learn more. Of course, it's possible to be an actor without going to university, but being a theatre major (主修生) is a good idea for some people. It can greatly improve your acting, and it also helps you learn a lot about history, music, dance, etc.
1. It's easy to ___________ about how to be a doctor or an engineer.
2. You can learn different ways of acting and how to ___________ at school.
3. Joining ___________ near your home can help improve your acting.
4. It's ___________ to become an actor without going to university.
5. The writer gives some ___________ on how to become an actor.

八、One possible version:
The world will be more crowded in the future because the population is growing faster. At the beginning of the 19th century, it was about 1 billion. In 1960, it got to about 3 billion. Only about 40 years later, it was about 6 billion. Now, the population of the world is over 7.5 billion. As we know, the increasing population has caused many problems. For example, housing prices are getting higher. Traffic is getting heavier. It's more and more difficult for young people to find jobs. People need more and more fresh air and clean water.
