The 4 for this dictionary came from an important meeting in Britain in 1857. Twenty-two years later, Oxford University asked James Murray to be the editor (编者) of its new dictionary.

After Oxford gave him the job, Murray had a small house 7 in his garden to do the work. Every morning, Murray got out of bed at five o’clock and 8 in the small house several hours before breakfast. Often he would work into the night. Murray hoped to finish the new dictionary in ten years. But after five years, he was 9 adding words for the letter “A”! He worked on the dictionary 10

This year the US will honour (纪念) one of the country’s most famous writers—Mark Twin(1835-1910). Most readers know that his real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, but how many know where the pen name “Mark Twain” came from
The answer shows Clemens’ colourful early life before he became a writer. “Mark Twain” was the cry shouted on a ship when the ship entered a part of a river that was two fathoms(6 feet)deep. “Twain” is an old-fashioned way of saying “two”. Twain trained as a ship pilot on the Mississippi river for two years, a time that he wrote about in the humorous Life on the Mississippi(1883).
The famous river would become an important theme in many of his works—who could forget the journey of Huck and Jim along it in his most famous book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn(1884).
With little education, he had to teach himself how to write stories. Whenever possible, he would go to public libraries. There he spent much time reading and thinking, which greatly helped him with his writing.
On the other hand, his life experiences gave him wonderful material to write about and attract readers. Twain wrote in a style that has been called “local colour” because it shows great knowledge of local people and their customs.
The gift is very clear in the two books for which Twain is still celebrated today: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer(1876)and its follow-up The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which many people call “The Great American Novel”.
The most amazing invention in his book is the voice of Huck himself. Huck did not enjoy schooling. It shows in the way he uses language, in a spoken style. Only a master like Twain could copy the way a young southern boy talked so well.
4. What does the underlined word “gift” mean in the passage
A. Twain’s talent for self-teaching. B. Twain’s “local colour” writing style.
C. Twain’s good sense of humour. D. Twain’s experiences as a ship pilot.
5. According to the passage, what is the best part of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
A. The deep social meaning. B. The exciting life experiences.
C. The special way that Huck talks. D. The nice view of the Mississippi.
6. Which is the most suitable place in the passage for the sentence, “Twain did not come from the writer’s background you might expect.”
A. At the beginning of Paragraph 2. B. At the beginning of Paragraph 3.
C. At the beginning of Paragraph 4. D. At the beginning of Paragraph 5.
7. What is the passage mainly about
A. Mark Twain’s career as a great writer.
B. Mark Twain’s interest in describing local life.
C. Mark Twain’s achievements in American literature field.
D. Mark Twain’s life experiences which influenced his writing.
C
William Shakespeare died on April the 23rd in 1616. This year’s 400th anniversary of his death is not just a chance to remember one of the greatest writers of all time. It is a moment to celebrate his ongoing influence. Just as Ben Jonson, another great English writer of his times, said, “he is not of an age, but for all time.”
People like Shakespeare’s plays because the characters show real human feelings. Romeo and Juliet, who are young lovers, don’t quite know how to get ahead with their lives. And they disagree with their parents. Their story has a sad ending. When we take the characters out of his period, they really speak to almost any time and place.
The language of Shakespeare is alive and well in modern, everyday English. Even if an Englishspeaker knows nothing about Shakespeare, they will surely know some sayings that come from his plays. When we have problems making up our mind, we say “to be or not to be: that is the question”(Hamlet). When a friend eats all the food in the house, we say he’s “eating me out of house and home”(Henry IV).
But Shakespeare’s influence is felt far beyond his language and his culture. “Cowards die many times before their death, the valiant (英勇的) never taste of death but once.” This saying from Shakespeare’s historical play Julius Caesar encouraged Nelson Mandela to fight on when he was a prisoner. Shakespeare’s influence is everywhere, from Goethe (a German writer) to Tchaikovsky.
As Shakespeare himself put it in his comedy As You Like It, “all the world’s a stage.” More than 400 years later, stages around the world still show his plays. Through his works, Shakespeare lives on. Perhaps we’ll still be attracted by his works 400 years from now.
8. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the article
A. To introduce the life story of William Shakespeare.
B. To explain why Shakespeare’s writing lives on.
C. To recommend some of Shakespeare’s bestknown works.
D. To explore the influences of Shakespeare’s comedies.
9. Which of these sayings can be used to express the main idea of Paragraph 2
A. All the world’s a stage.
B. To be or not to be: that is the question.
C. The valiant never taste of death but once.
D. He is not of an age, but for all time.
10. Paragraph 4 is mainly about ________.
A. some famous Shakespearian sayings
B. some Shakespearian historical stories
C. Shakespeare’s influence on modern English
D. Shakespeare’s influence on wider society
11. By the last sentence “Perhaps we’ll still be attracted by his works 400 years from now”, the writer means .
A. Shakespeare’s influence will last for a long time
B. Britain will remember William Shakespeare forever
C. Shakespeare’s works will be gone and forgotten some day
D. Shakespeare’s works will have a stronger influence than ever before

Look around when you’re on a subway. 12 In China, many people play on their cell phones. But in other countries, many people enjoy reading. Chinese people read an average(平均) of 4.5 books during 2015, according to a recent survey. While a US citizen reads 21 a year and a Japanese reads 17, according to UNESCO(联合国教科文组织) .
13 In many foreign countries, people read at any time. Even backpackers enjoy reading books when they’re on a break at the beach, or relaxing from a hike.
In most US middle schools, teachers give students a reading list every few weeks. Most books are easy reads like youth novels. Some schools then hold competitions by asking students details(细节) of a book.
Good reading habits lead you to a lifelong love of books.
In order to encourage people to read more, China’s planning to foster(鼓励) the habit of reading in its law. Although this has both good and bad sides, it can be seen as a way to develop one’s reading habits. 14
●Read in short periods. Ten minutes on the way to and from school, 10 minutes waiting for friends, 15 minutes before going to sleep. That totals 45 minutes per day, about five hours per week.
● 15 . Your list can be the best-selling books on famous websies like The New York Times or , or books your teacher recommends(推荐) .
●Talk about your reading with your family or friends.
根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。
A. What can we do to foster good reading habits B. What’s the most popular time-killing activity C. How many hours do you usually read a day D. Make your own reading list. E. Reading books builds a bridge between our life and the unknown world.
四、词汇应用（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
阅读下面的短文，用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空，必要时可加助动词。
When I was a boy my mum used to 1 (say) I would read the back of a medicine bottle if I didn’t have a book in my hand. It was true, and even now that reading habit has been with me. I always have at 2 (little) one book being read, sometimes I might have two or three. And I’m talking about real books, books made out of paper, books that you can hold in your hand, to read, at the table, on the subway or my favorite place to read—in the bath.
But the number of people reading books 3 (drop). A recent survey tells us that Chinese people only read 4.77 printed books a year on average(平均) and in the US, 25 percent of the population say they didn’t read a book last year! So what’s stopping people from 4 (read)
The answer of course is the huge influence that technology has had on our life. Why read a book when you can watch a movie or TV play on your smart phones or iPads For younger people, books may not be as 5
(exciting) as online games. With stories you have to work at it, 6 (close) follow the turns of the plot(情节). There are no shortcuts with a book. You have to turn page after page.
But you can still get 7 (lose) in a book. We all have this thing 8 (call) imagination. It’s much more powerful than any computer; in fact, it’s worth remembering that any online game
9 first 9 (write) in words as a story by its writer. It’s all about his or her or their imagination.
So we need to read—if we do not read, it will be hard for us to improve our ability to think widely, to have an imagination. Reading is a process in which we need to compare and connect other things we have read and seen in the past. If you do not read, this will not only influence your study, but also your social life in the future.
So why not 10 (follow) me from now on Run a hot bath, or find a comfortable chair and read a good book for a few hours—there are quite many, for free, in your local library.

五、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。
Have you ever stayed up late one night Did you feel tired the next day Did you feel bad-tempered It is because your body missed its sleep! So why does a good night’s sleep make you feel better
Scientists have studied sleep to find the answer to this question. They have found some different reasons.
First, sleep helps your body stay healthy. Even though you are sleeping, your body is still active. Sleep gives your body a chance to repair itself.
Sleep also helps your body to rest. How Your body does not need as much energy when it slows down. The beat of your heart and your breathing rate become slower, which lowers your body’s energy level. Your body needs rest after a busy day.
Sleep is important for your brain, too. During the day your brain gathers information. At night while you are sleeping, your brain reviews everything that you did during the day. It saves some of your experiences so you can remember them. Some scientists think all this reviewing causes you to dream.
What happens if you do not have enough sleeps People who miss too much sleep have trouble paying attention. They make more mistakes in their work. Scientists believe that people who miss more than three days of sleep may become sick and even start seeing something that is not really there.
Students need between 8 and 10 hours of sleep each night. What can you do to help give your body a good night’s sleep
Ways to help you sleep
◆Run and play outside during the day.
◆Drink a glass of milk before going to bed.
◆Go to bed on time.
◆Read a book in bed.
◆Have a dark, quiet room.
Following these steps and you will begin to feel relaxed and happy. Nothing else will help your body like a good night’s sleep.

One possible version:
Growing up with good books
My dear friends,
Reading is very important. By reading books, not only can we get all kinds of knowledge but also we can open our minds. At the same time, we will be able to improve our ability to solve problems. In a word, reading can make our life colorful.
However, some students spend much time watching TV or going on the Internet instead of reading books. They hate reading books. It is boring for them to read books.
In my opinion, we should make a right reading plan and read more classical books. Keep a good habit of reading. Let it become a part of our life.
