Birds can see colours, just as people do. Birds need to see colours when they fly because they need to find places
to land（着陆）. Colours help them know 11 the place is and what it is like so that they can catch flying
things in the air or land on something they think safe.
Birds can “tell” the differences between colours. But for some 12 animals, such as wolves, the world
looks like a black and white photo. Wolves look for food mainly by 13 .
They can hear 14 when the animals they hunt move. But other animals seem to know this. For example, a rabbit will stop moving when it finds there is something 15 . Then the wolves 16 not find it at all.
However, birds are better than wolves in these ways. They can see dead insects from far away.
Some birds’ eyesight is 17 than people’s. They can see small insects 18 they fly in the sky.

二、阅读单选
Erden Eruc has been rowing across the Pacific Ocean in a rowboat since he left California on July 10, 2007. He
has been heading for Australia with only birds, fish and sharks ever since.
Crossing the Pacific is only part of his journey. Eruc has decided to go all the way around the world using his own energy. He will row, bike, walk and climb the world without help from any motors at all. His plan includes
climbing the tallest peak on six of the continents(洲) along the way.
For the first part of his trip, he bicycled 5,546 miles from Seattle, Washington to Mount McKinley in Alaska and back, walked 67 miles to base camp, and climbed 20,320 feet to McKinley’speak. Now in the second part of his
adventure(冒险活动), he is rowing to Australia.
Why would he try to go around the world this way He explains that he wants to encourage kids to dream their dreams and get to their own goals. He wants to show kids that there might be hard parts along the way, and sometimes
they might not even get to that final goal. But they can have great adventures and learn a lot along the way.
Eruc has already faced some difficulties. For example, winds and waves keep pushing him westward when he wants to go south toward the Solomon Islands. If his luck doesn’t change, he will cheerfully change his plan, and aim
to land at Papua New Guinea. One way or another, he’s sure he’ll get to his next goal: Australia.
When his trip around the world takes him across land, he enjoys meeting people—especially children. He has
already visited many schools and shared his story.
Eruc encourages all kids to set their eyes on a goal and not give up. He says, “With goals, we will make progress,
and we will be farther along than when we started, even if we don’t get to some goals. That’s called life!”

I never wanted a dog, but now I’m so glad I have one.
About two years ago, my wife, Cathy, got a little dog with a face only a mother could love. We named her
Gertie.
Gertie is the kind of dog that has to grow on you. So I decided that the dog would be trained. This didn’t quite go as planned. At 15 weeks old, she was nearly made to leave the Petsmart Training School. She spent every night lying in our bed-snoring (打鼾) so loudly that I hardly got a goodnight’s sleep. Then, about six months after she arrived, I felt that something in my heart was taking place, and I was unable to stop it. My behaviour (行为方式) began to change. I began to smile at people when passing them in a street. I returned (招手) from neighbours. I started calling my kids and, to my surprise, they started calling me. I even tried to speak to my grandchildren over the phone once. I even was glad to listen to laughter from a 10-month-old granddaughter. The point is that I was changing. My
wife and I both agree that it is Gertie who has changed my behaviour.
Gertie is now nearly two years old and almost fully grown. I have come to like the pet little by little, though she
is my wife’s dog.

40 ．What’s the best title of this passage
A ．The dog. B ．An old man.
C ．How to train a dog. D ．The changes in life.
Animals have the ability to make people understand them, especially(尤其) when they are in serious danger and
hope to get help from man. And they often go together to help one another.
One day, I visited my friend Jack on a sheep farm in North America. Suddenly one sheep came to cry in front of us. She made the most painful(痛苦的) cries. Jack said ,"Something must be e on, Mike. Let's follow
her."
Together we followed the sheep back to where she was feeding on the farm. She rushed forward and kept on looking back to see if we were coming. She finally took us to an old well (井) , and we heard the sad voice of her young baby that had fallen into the well. As the well had no water and was only six feet deep, we took a ladder(梯 子） and climbed down. After a few minutes, the baby sheep was saved. The mother sheep looked happy with the

三、短文首字母填空
According to some scientists, dinosaurs are cold-blooded, like snakes. Cold-blooded animals cannot keep themselves w 46 . Because of this, dinosaurs are not very active when it is c 47 . In the early morning they do not move much. When it gets warm, the dinosaurs become a 48 . When the sun goes down in the e 49 , they slow down again for the night. The sun warms the dinosaurs and gives t 50 the energy they need to move
around.
There were many k 51 of dinosaurs long ago but there aren’t any now. What a p 52 ! So some people learn to build m 53 of dinosaurs. The models are imitations（仿制品）, of course. But they are life-size and they look real! The people who build them must know the dinosaurs inside and out. First they build a skeleton（骨 架） . T 54 they cover it with fake “skin”. Finally they paint it. Some models have motors in them. The motors
can make the dinosaurs’ head or tail m 55 . Have you ever seen a life-size model of a dinosaur
Reading books is a good hobby for all kinds of reasons.
First, reading books is f 56 . You can always keep yourself interested and help you to have a goog time i
57 you like reading.
Next, you can read a book a 58 : in a car , in a waiting-room ,on a plane , in bed—even in the bath . All you
n 59 is a book! Reading is a convenient（方便的） hobby as it is easy to stop and then start again.
A 60 good reason for reading books is that it is useful. If you read as a hobby you will get better and b 61 at it. This m 62 that you will read faster and will become better at understanding what you read. As your reading improves, you will probably find your schoolwork becomes much e 63 . Many school subjects
depend on （依靠） good reading and, as you read, you learn more and more.
Some people say that reading is out of date. This is not t 64 . You have to be able to read to use a computer
and, the better you read, the better your computer skills will be. Reading is never out of date!
Good readers are most likely to be good w 65 , too. They are usually good at spelling as well, and have
more things to write about. Reading books is a wonderful hobby, one of the best.

something…Then the wolves…not find it at all.”可知，狼是通过听动物的移动来捕杀动物， 一些动物知道这个，
所以当有危险的事物时，它们就会停止移动，这样狼就不会发现它们了。故选 A。
16 ．句意：然后狼可能根本不会发现它。
should 应该；must 必须；may 可能，可以；need 需要。如果猎物不移动的话，狼可能就不会发现它们了，
这里只表示有这种可能，故选 C。
17 ．句意：有些鸟的视力比人的更好。

没有了。现在人们做一些恐龙模型。以及具体介绍恐龙模型的制作步骤。
46．句意：冷血动物不能自己保暖。根据前句“According to some scientists, dinosaurs are cold-blooded, like snakes.”
以及常识可知，此处指的是“ 暖的” ，英语是形容词 warm ，构成“keep sth+adj”结构，在句中作宾补，故填
warm 。
47．句意：正因为如此， 恐龙在寒冷的时候不太活跃。根据“dinosaurs are cold-blooded, like snakes. Cold-blooded
animals cannot keep themselves…”及“In the early morning they do not move much.”及首字母提示可知，此处指
的是“冷的” ，英语是形容词 cold，在句中作表语，故填 cold。

is…”及首字母提示可知，此处指的是“活跃的” ，英语是 active，是一个形容词作表语，故填 active。

dinosaurs”，所以要用复数代词，空格在句中作宾语，所以用宾格，故填 them。
51 ．句意：很久以前有很多种恐龙，但现在没有了。此处表达的是“许多种” ，英语是 many kinds of，后接复
数名词，故填 kinds。
52 ．句意：真可惜！此处是对前句所说的内容表示惋惜，表达的是“ 真可惜” ，英语是 What a pity，故填
pity。

可知，此处指的是“模型” ，英语是 model，此处指的是很多模型，所以要用复数形式，故填 models。
54 ．句意：然后他们用假“皮肤”覆盖它。根据“First they build a skeleton（骨架）.”及“Finally they paint it.”及
首字母提示可知，此处是描述顺序，指的是“然后” ，英语是 then，句首首字母要大写，故填 Then。
55 ．句意：这些马达可以使恐龙的头或尾巴移动。根据首字母提示及常识可知，发动机可以让机器动起来，

Birds can see colours, just as people do. Birds need to see colours when they fly because they need to find places
to land（着陆）. Colours help them know 11 the place is and what it is like so that they can catch flying
things in the air or land on something they think safe.
Birds can “tell” the differences between colours. But for some 12 animals, such as wolves, the world
looks like a black and white photo. Wolves look for food mainly by 13 .
They can hear 14 when the animals they hunt move. But other animals seem to know this. For example, a rabbit will stop moving when it finds there is something 15 . Then the wolves 16 not find it at all.

Erden Eruc has been rowing across the Pacific Ocean in a rowboat since he left California on July 10, 2007. He
has been heading for Australia with only birds, fish and sharks ever since.
Crossing the Pacific is only part of his journey. Eruc has decided to go all the way around the world using his own energy. He will row, bike, walk and climb the world without help from any motors at all. His plan includes
climbing the tallest peak on six of the continents(洲) along the way.
For the first part of his trip, he bicycled 5,546 miles from Seattle, Washington to Mount McKinley in Alaska and back, walked 67 miles to base camp, and climbed 20,320 feet to McKinley’speak. Now in the second part of his
adventure(冒险活动), he is rowing to Australia.
Why would he try to go around the world this way He explains that he wants to encourage kids to dream their dreams and get to their own goals. He wants to show kids that there might be hard parts along the way, and sometimes
they might not even get to that final goal. But they can have great adventures and learn a lot along the way.
Eruc has already faced some difficulties. For example, winds and waves keep pushing him westward when he wants to go south toward the Solomon Islands. If his luck doesn’t change, he will cheerfully change his plan, and aim
to land at Papua New Guinea. One way or another, he’s sure he’ll get to his next goal: Australia.
When his trip around the world takes him across land, he enjoys meeting people—especially children. He has
already visited many schools and shared his story.
Eruc encourages all kids to set their eyes on a goal and not give up. He says, “With goals, we will make progress,
and we will be farther along than when we started, even if we don’t get to some goals. That’s called life!”

I never wanted a dog, but now I’m so glad I have one.
About two years ago, my wife, Cathy, got a little dog with a face only a mother could love. We named her
Gertie.
Gertie is the kind of dog that has to grow on you. So I decided that the dog would be trained. This didn’t quite go as planned. At 15 weeks old, she was nearly made to leave the Petsmart Training School. She spent every night lying in our bed-snoring (打鼾) so loudly that I hardly got a goodnight’s sleep. Then, about six months after she arrived, I felt that something in my heart was taking place, and I was unable to stop it. My behaviour (行为方式) began to change. I began to smile at people when passing them in a street. I returned (招手) from neighbours. I started calling my kids and, to my surprise, they started calling me. I even tried to speak to my grandchildren over the phone once. I even was glad to listen to laughter from a 10-month-old granddaughter. The point is that I was changing. My
wife and I both agree that it is Gertie who has changed my behaviour.
Gertie is now nearly two years old and almost fully grown. I have come to like the pet little by little, though she
is my wife’s dog.

her."
Together we followed the sheep back to where she was feeding on the farm. She rushed forward and kept on looking back to see if we were coming. She finally took us to an old well (井) , and we heard the sad voice of her young baby that had fallen into the well. As the well had no water and was only six feet deep, we took a ladder(梯 子） and climbed down. After a few minutes, the baby sheep was saved. The mother sheep looked happy with the

The sun warms the dinosaurs and gives t 50 the energy they need to move
around.

But they are life-size and they look real! The people who build them must know the dinosaurs inside and out. First they build a skeleton（骨 架） . T 54 they cover it with fake “skin”. Finally they paint it. Some models have motors in them. The motors
can make the dinosaurs’ head or tail m 55 . Have you ever seen a life-size model of a dinosaur

【分析】这篇短文给我们讲述了一个科学知识，有些动物，如鸟类是可以看到颜色的，这可以帮助它们找 食物和发现危险。但是有些动物，如狗、狼等，它们不能分辨颜色，但是狼的听觉很好，它们是靠猎物的
移动来捕杀他们。

或者降落在它们认为安全的地方。
how soon 多久，多快；how far 多远；how long 多长时间；how fast 多快，指速度。根据上句话“Birds can see colours, just as people do. Birds need to see colours when they fly because they need to find places to land（着陆） .” 可知，鸟需要看到颜色，因为它们飞行的时候，需要找到地方着陆，所以颜色能够帮助它们知道那个地方
有多远，故选 B。

something…Then the wolves…not find it at all.”可知，狼是通过听动物的移动来捕杀动物， 一些动物知道这个，
所以当有危险的事物时，它们就会停止移动，这样狼就不会发现它们了。故选 A。

这里只表示有这种可能，故选 C。
17 ．句意：有些鸟的视力比人的更好。
