Have you ever dreamed of having a fashionable watch of great value
A small watchmaker in Switzerland in 1922 designed the first automatic (自动的) watch to show the day, month, and date. Only seven of these splendid watches were ever made and these watches were almost lost to history. Today, it is so hard to get an original (首批的) watch that some watch historians are even willing to offer $200,000 for one.
These watches attracted a lot of people for their splendid color, fashionable style, and new uses in the 1920s. The owners of the watches were admired and set apart from the crowd. Because the number of the original watches is very limited, owning such a watch will make you feel very special.
Today, you are offered the same kind of watch with improvement. It has a 24-jewel mechanical (机械的) movement, the kind desired by watch collectors. The watchmaker has made the movement of the watch much more modern with an automatic rotor (上弦装置) so that the watch never needs to be wound by hand. The watch comes in a very beautiful case with a crocodile design on it. To get a watch in such a perfect design means to get a chance to know a piece of watch-making history and to wear such a watch will show your personal taste and social position.
You can get the watch either in person or by mail all an affordable price. You will also receive good service from the watch seller. If you are not satisfied with the watch after you get it, you may simply return it within 30 days. Don’t miss the chance to realize your dream.

Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee (裁判) and rarely take trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.
Grown-ups can hardly find children’s game exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple game again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinary afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.
It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.
8. What is true about children when they play games
A. They can stop playing any time they like.
B They can test their personal abilities.
C. They want to pick a better team.
D. They don’t need rules.
9. To become a leader in a game, the child has to _________.
A. be a useful partner
B. wait for his turn
C. be confident in himself
D. be popular among his playmates
10. Why does a child like playing games
A. Because he can be someone other than himself.
B. Because he can become popular among friends.
C. Because he finds he is always lucky in games.
D. Because he likes the place where he plays a game.
11. Which is the best title for this passage
A. Rules in Children’s Games
B. Advantages of Playing Games for Children
C. Reasons for Children’s Games
D. How to Be a Popular Game Player
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了孩子们做游戏时的乐趣和做游戏对孩子们的益处。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段第三句“They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished.( 他们不太关心谁赢谁输，如果游戏没有完成，他们似乎也不会担心。)”可知当孩子们做游戏时他们可以随时按自己的意愿不玩，故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句“He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn.(轮到他的时候，他会成为一个领导者)”可知为了在游戏中做队长，这个小孩的等到轮到他的时候，故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第三句“He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinary afraid.(他可以成为一名优秀的球员，而不必考虑他是否是一个受欢迎的人，他可以发现自己是他通常害怕的人一个有用的伙伴。)”可知一个孩子喜欢玩游戏是因为在游戏中它可以扮演别人而不是自己，故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinary afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.( 他可以成为一名优秀的球员，而不必考虑他是否是一个受欢迎的人，他可以发现自己是他通常害怕的人一个有用的伙伴。轮到他的时候，他会成为一个领导者。在特定的游戏中，他也可以自信地发号施令、装死、向别人扔球，或者亲吻他抓到的人，都是他可以做的事。)”以及全文内容可知，文章讲述了孩子们做游戏时的乐趣和做游戏对孩子们的益处。故最佳标题是“做游戏对孩子的益处”。故选B。
D
There has been a large increase in the number of natural disasters over the past few years, and it is believed that global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in the future. Some of the world's leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves.
London
London's flood defences are getting older. Since 1982, the Thames Barrier (泰晤士河屏障) has protected the city from the threat of flooding, but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years. About 32 years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions, by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not solved.
There are 26 underground stations, 400 schools, 16 hospitals, an airport and 80 billion worth of property in London's flood risk area, so large scale flooding would be disastrous.
Paris
Over a six-week period in July and August 2008, more than 11,400 - mainly elderly people - died in France from dehydration (脱水) and extremely high body temperature in a deadly heat wave. Heat waves of similar intensity (强度) are expected every seven years by 2050, so what can be done to make sure such disaster does not happen again
One solution is to have air conditioners installed (安装) in elderly care homes. But this is considered a short-term solution, as the increase in demand for electricity also increases carbon emission (排放) .
In Paris the local authorities are encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as the building “Flower Tower”, which uses a covering of bamboo to act as a natural air conditioner.
Shanghai
Shanghai is the fastest growing city on Earth. It has a population of 18 million and is only four meters above sea level. Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20 cm within the next century.
About 250, 000 people move to Shanghai every year in search of work, placing extra demands on energy consumption. China depends heavily on coal-fired power stations, but these emissions increase temperatures and, in turn, warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons.
12. What problem should be settled now in London
A. How to protect the city's properly.
B. Where to build its flood defences.
C. How to use the Thames Barrier to protect the city.
D. How to improve the function of the old flood defences.
13. Which of the following measures can't solve the heat wave disaster in Paris
A. Putting up new types of buildings with a covering of bamboo.
B. Having air conditioners installed in elderly care homes.
C. Forbidding the city to build “Flower Tower”
D. Encouraging architects to design new types of buildings.
14. The major threats to Shanghai are __________ .
A. increasing population and coal-fired power stations
B. rising sea levels and typhoons
C. extremely high temperature and rising sea levels
D. extra demands on energy consumption and typhoons
15. The purpose of the passage is to __________ .
A. tell us how to protect the big cities
B. give advice on how to defend natural disasters
C. explain what causes flood and heat waves
D. warn us of the increasing natural disasters in big cities
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。全球变暖和气候变化引发了更多的自然灾害。本文主要介绍了伦敦、巴黎和上海这三座城市面临的灾难，希望引起大家的关注。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据London中“London's flood defences are getting older. Since 1982, the Thames Barrier (泰晤士河屏障) has protected the city from the threat of flooding, but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years. About 32 years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions, by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not solved. ”（伦敦的防洪设施正在老化。自1982年以来,泰晤士河屏障保护城市免受洪水的威胁,但它只是为了持续到2030年,每两年或三年。大约32年后，屏障每年会关闭5到6次。根据环境署的预测，到2050年，如果这个问题得不到解决，屏障几乎每次涨潮都会关闭）可知在介绍伦敦时，第一句就提到伦敦的防洪堤正逐渐老化，紧接着具体说明了这一状况，因此伦敦要解决的问题就是如何改善防洪堤的功能。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。文中介绍巴黎遭遇热浪侵袭，提到了两种解决办法，一种是使用空调降温，一种是设计新型建筑抵御高温。A、B、D三项文中都有提及。根据“In Paris the local authorities are encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as the building “Flower Tower”（在巴黎，当地官员鼓励建筑师设计新的建筑类型，例如Flower Tower楼）”可知，C项的Forbidding正好与文意相反。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。文章最后两段“Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20 cm within the next century.”（海平面预计在下个世纪将上升20厘米）以及“ China depends heavily on coal-fired power stations, but these emissions increase temperatures and, in turn, warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons.”（中国严重依赖燃煤发电站，但这些排放物会增加温度，反过来，变暖的海洋会增加台风的风险）介绍了上海面临的威胁，其中第一段说的是海平面升高的威胁，第二段说的是台风的威胁，故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“ Some of the world's leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves.”（世界上一些主要城市正面临洪水和热浪等灾难）结合下文对三个主要城市所面临的灾难的介绍可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是呼吁人们关注全球变暖和气候变化对地球的影响，提醒人们尽早应对大城市面临的灾害增多这事实。故选D。

A. Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person.
B. That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers said.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have hisbreakfast as quickly as possible.
“Why are you in such a hurry, early bird " Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum," Peter said. “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I've been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove down.
Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark your papers now," he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter. David and Mary got 100 percent on the spelling test!" Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter's was an English-Chinese dictionary—the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. "This is my happiest moment,” Peter thought.
After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribution" confused him. It didn't seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the wordlist. “C-o-n-t-r-i-b-u-s-i-o-n，”he whispered. He had spelledit wrong.
“What am I to do ” Peter said to himself. “I expect my classmates to think I'm a master in spelling. If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong, I'll have to give my prize back, or I will become an example for telling a lie". Staring at the red sign “100%” which was written at his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
Slowly, Peter raised his hand.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】Paragraph 1:
Slowly, Peter raised his hand. “Mr. White, I didn’t get100 percent on the test. I missed a word.” He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper. “I spelled contribution with ‘s-i’ instead of ‘t-i’.” Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk. Mr. White held up Peter’s test paper. “Class,” he said, “Peter did something even more important than spelling every word correctly on a test.” Mr.White smiled at Peter. “He taught us all a lesson on being honest.”
Paragraph 2:
Peter looked around and found many of his classmates were smiling at him. “Peter, I want you to have this dictionary because you set a good example for all of us, ” Mr. White said. Peter took the dictionary from his teacher and expressed his thanks to Mr. White. Meanwhile, he couldn’t wait to show it to Mum and tell her one of his best days ever.

Have you ever dreamed of having a fashionable watch of great value
A small watchmaker in Switzerland in 1922 designed the first automatic (自动的) watch to show the day, month, and date. Only seven of these splendid watches were ever made and these watches were almost lost to history. Today, it is so hard to get an original (首批的) watch that some watch historians are even willing to offer $200,000 for one.
These watches attracted a lot of people for their splendid color, fashionable style, and new uses in the 1920s. The owners of the watches were admired and set apart from the crowd. Because the number of the original watches is very limited, owning such a watch will make you feel very special.
Today, you are offered the same kind of watch with improvement. It has a 24-jewel mechanical (机械的) movement, the kind desired by watch collectors. The watchmaker has made the movement of the watch much more modern with an automatic rotor (上弦装置) so that the watch never needs to be wound by hand. The watch comes in a very beautiful case with a crocodile design on it. To get a watch in such a perfect design means to get a chance to know a piece of watch-making history and to wear such a watch will show your personal taste and social position.
You can get the watch either in person or by mail all an affordable price. You will also receive good service from the watch seller. If you are not satisfied with the watch after you get it, you may simply return it within 30 days. Don’t miss the chance to realize your dream.
4. The original automatic watches are valuable because ________.
A. the watches were made many years ago B. the watches were made by a Swiss watchmaker
C. only rich people can afford the watches D. only a few watches of the kind were made
5. Watch collectors want to get the improved watch, especially for its _________.
A. mechanical movement B. splendid color
C. fashionable style D. new uses
6. The purpose of the passage is to encourage the readers to ________.
A. buy the watch B. return the watch C. wear the watch D. receive the service
7. The passage is probably taken from a __________.
A. report B. magazine C. text book D. science book

Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee (裁判) and rarely take trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.
Grown-ups can hardly find children’s game exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple game again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinary afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.
It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.
8. What is true about children when they play games
A. They can stop playing any time they like.
B. They can test their personal abilities.
C. They want to pick a better team.
D. They don’t need rules.
9. To become a leader in a game, the child has to _________.
A. be a useful partner
B wait for his turn
C. be confident in himself
D. be popular among his playmates
10. Why does a child like playing games
A. Because he can be someone other than himself.
B. Because he can become popular among friends.
C. Because he finds he is always lucky in games.
D. Because he likes the place where he plays a game.
11. Which is the best title for this passage
A. Rules in Children’s Games
B. Advantages of Playing Games for Children
C. Reasons for Children’s Games
D. How to Be a Popular Game Player
D
There has been a large increase in the number of natural disasters over the past few years, and it is believed that global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in the future. Some of the world's leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves.
London
London's flood defences are getting older. Since 1982, the Thames Barrier (泰晤士河屏障) has protected the city from the threat of flooding, but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years. About 32 years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions, by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not solved.
There are 26 underground stations, 400 schools, 16 hospitals, an airport and 80 billion worth of property in London's flood risk area, so large scale flooding would be disastrous.
Paris
Over a six-week period in July and August 2008, more than 11,400 - mainly elderly people - died in France from dehydration (脱水) and extremely high body temperature in a deadly heat wave. Heat waves of similar intensity (强度) are expected every seven years by 2050, so what can be done to make sure such disaster does not happen again
One solution is to have air conditioners installed (安装) in elderly care homes. But this is considered a short-term solution, as the increase in demand for electricity also increases carbon emission (排放) .
In Paris the local authorities are encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as the building “Flower Tower”, which uses a covering of bamboo to act as a natural air conditioner.
Shanghai
Shanghai is the fastest growing city on Earth. It has a population of 18 million and is only four meters above sea level. Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20 cm within the next century.
About 250, 000 people move to Shanghai every year in search of work, placing extra demands on energy consumption. China depends heavily on coal-fired power stations, but these emissions increase temperatures and, in turn, warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons.
12. What problem should be settled now in London
A. How to protect the city's properly.
B. Where to build its flood defences.
C. How to use the Thames Barrier to protect the city.
D. How to improve the function of the old flood defences.
13. Which of the following measures can't solve the heat wave disaster in Paris
A Putting up new types of buildings with a covering of bamboo.
B. Having air conditioners installed in elderly care homes.
C. Forbidding the city to build “Flower Tower”
D. Encouraging architects to design new types of buildings.
14. The major threats to Shanghai are __________ .
A. increasing population and coal-fired power stations
B. rising sea levels and typhoons
C. extremely high temperature and rising sea levels
D. extra demands on energy consumption and typhoons
15. The purpose of the passage is to __________ .
A. tell us how to protect the big cities
B. give advice on how to defend natural disasters
C. explain what causes flood and heat waves
D warn us of the increasing natural disasters in big cities

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have hisbreakfast as quickly as possible.
“Why are you in such a hurry, early bird " Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum," Peter said. “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I've been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove down.
Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark your papers now," he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter. David and Mary got 100 percent on the spelling test!" Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter's was an English-Chinese dictionary—the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. "This is my happiest moment,” Peter thought.
After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribution" confused him. It didn't seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the wordlist. “C-o-n-t-r-i-b-u-s-i-o-n，”he whispered. He had spelledit wrong.
“What am I to do ” Peter said to himself. “I expect my classmates to think I'm a master in spelling. If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong, I'll have to give my prize back, or I will become an example for telling a lie". Staring at the red sign “100%” which was written at his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
Slowly, Peter raised his hand.
