一、阅读理解
A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and lay around it every day. He climbed up the tree, ate the apples, took a nap in the shadow. He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him. As time went by, the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I am no longer a kid, I don’t play around trees anymore.’’ The boy replied, “I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, but I don’t have money, but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money. The boy was very excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. “Come and play with me, the tree said. I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me ” “Sorry, but I don’t have a house. But you can chop off my branches to build your house.”So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. “Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat ” “Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy. ” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time. Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy, but I don’t have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you, the tree said. “I don’t have teeth to bite” the boy replied. “No more trunk for you to climb on…” “I am too old for that now.” the boy said. “I really can’t give you anything...the only thing left is my dying root,” the tree said with tears.
“I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years.” The boy replied. “Good! Old tree root is the best place to lean on and e, come to sit down.”

Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, it improves with practice. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to take some actions. You must first go where there are people. You won’t make friends by staying at home alone.
Join a club or a group, talking with those who like the same things as you do is much easier, or join some activities.
Many people are nervous when talking to new people. After all meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And it’s human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown.
Most of our fears about dealing with new people come from doubts (怀疑）about ourselves. We imagine other people are judging us, finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself as you are and try to put the other people at ease. You’ll both feel more comfortable.
Try to act self-confidence (自信)even if you don’t feel that way when you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom. Walk tall and straight, look directly at other people and smile.
If you see someone you’d like to speak to, say something. Don’t wait for the other person to start a conversation.
Just meeting someone new doesn’t mean that you’ll make friends with that person — friendships are based on mutual（相互的）liking and “give and take”. They take time and effort to develop. And there are things that keep a new friendship from growing.
6．You can not make friends ________.
A．if you take actions B．by going to people
C．if you avoid(避免) meeting people D．if you won’t join a club
7．The underlined part in paragraph 3 means ________.
A．the person you know B．the person you don’t know
C．the person you understand D．the person you don’t understand

A．good B．exciting C．interesting D．natural
9．Friendships are based on ________.
A．liking each other B．meeting more people
C．talking and smiling D．looking directly at other people
10．In paragraph 5, the underlined part means ________.
A．even if you are not self-confident B．even if you are self-confident
C．Even if you are not comfortable D．even if you are comfortable
11．When meeting someone new, ________.
A．Try to make him feel easy B．Judge him too this or too that
C．Not to talk with him D．let him talk to you first
For more than 30 years, scientists have been arguing about how rainforests like the Amazon might have reacted to the cold dry climates of the ice age, but until now, no one has reached a satisfying answer.
Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to slow global warming. Nowadays, the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year; equal to the total amount of CO2 giving off in the U. K. each year. But how will the Amazon react to future climate change If it gets drier, will it still survive and continue to draw down CO2 Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past.
On the one hand, getting into the Amazon rainforest and collecting information are very difficult. On the other hand, to study past climate, scientists need to look at fossilized pollen (花粉) kept in lake mud. Going back to the last ice age means drilling deep down into lake sediments (沉淀物), which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery. There are very few roads and paths, or places to land helicopters and planes. Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest, but this still leaves vast areas between the rives completely unsampled. So far, only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon rainforest reacts to climate change.
12．Scientists have been arguing about how the Amazon might have ________ the cold dry climates of the ice age.
A．changed in response to B．destroyed C．influenced D．protected
13．Rainforests are important for ________ CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to slow global warming.
A．taking in B．releasing C．increasing D．producing
14．Nowadays, the CO2 the trees in the Amazon remove equals to the total amount of giving off in ________ each year.
A．the U.S.A． B．the U.K. C．England D．Brazil
15．Scientists research about how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past so that they may learn in advance about how the rainforests ________.
A．draw down CO2 B．still protect the soil
C．will get smaller D．will manage in the future
16．The way to go back to last ice age is to ________.
A．get into the forest B．drill deep down into lake sediments
C．find some lake mud D．look at fossilized pollen
17．We may infer from the last paragraph that ________.
A．it’s possible to enter the Amazon through rivers to get enough information
B．so far, scientists have collected some information from the samples
C．it’s necessary to use helicopters for the research
D．there’s little information to study the past climate

三、任务型阅读
Read the passage and answer the following questions (根据文章内容回答下列问题）
Once a boy wanted to fly. He made a pair of wings. He used some wax (蜡) to keep the feathers on the wooden frame. He flew and flew, and flew too close to the Sun. The Sun melted the wax, and the feathers were blown off by the wind. Down came the boy into the ocean.
This is just a story. But it tells us that man has always dreamed of flying. In 1783, this dream came true. Two French brothers invented the hot-air balloon. It rose a thousand feet high.
It took almost 100 years for man to move from the hot-air balloon to the first airship. The first airship was invented in the late 1800s. It was a powered (装有发动机的) balloon.
In North Carolina, less than twenty-five years later, the Wright Brothers flew the first airplane. This first flight, in 1903, lasted less than half a minute! It covered just a few feet.
By the 1960s, man had moved from airplanes to spacecrafts. Today, space-crafts can go around the world in less than two hours. Tomorrow. Who knows
25．Why did the boy in the story make a pair of wings
26．When did man succeed in flying to the sky for the first time

28．How long did the first flight of the first airplane last
29．How far did the first airplane fly
30．What does the writer want to tell us from this passage
根据短文内容填写下面表格。每空一词。
In common with many countries, Britain has serious environmental problems. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog. The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot.
Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. In December 1991, there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot. As a result, about 160 people died from pollution in just four days.
Part of the problem is the new “out of town” shopping centers. In the past, people often walked to shops near their homes or went by bus. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centers. As a result, the small shops have disappeared (消失) and more people have to travel to do their shopping.
Experts say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport (交通). Transport in Britain is very expensive. For example, an early morning train trip from Glasgow to London about 600 km can cost about 100 pounds. A short 15 minutes’ bus trip can cost over 10 pounds.
Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and the cost.

一、阅读理解
A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and lay around it every day. He climbed up the tree, ate the apples, took a nap in the shadow. He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him. As time went by, the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I am no longer a kid, I don’t play around trees anymore.’’ The boy replied, “I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, but I don’t have money, but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money. The boy was very excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. “Come and play with me, the tree said. I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me ” “Sorry, but I don’t have a house. But you can chop off my branches to build your house.”So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. “Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat ” “Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy. ” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time. Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy, but I don’t have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you, the tree said. “I don’t have teeth to bite” the boy replied. “No more trunk for you to climb on…” “I am too old for that now.” the boy said. “I really can’t give you anything...the only thing left is my dying root,” the tree said with tears.
“I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years.” The boy replied. “Good! Old tree root is the best place to lean on and e, come to sit down.”

Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, it improves with practice. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to take some actions. You must first go where there are people. You won’t make friends by staying at home alone.
Join a club or a group, talking with those who like the same things as you do is much easier, or join some activities.
Many people are nervous when talking to new people. After all meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And it’s human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown.
Most of our fears about dealing with new people come from doubts (怀疑）about ourselves. We imagine other people are judging us, finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself as you are and try to put the other people at ease. You’ll both feel more comfortable.
Try to act self-confidence (自信)even if you don’t feel that way when you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom. Walk tall and straight, look directly at other people and smile.
If you see someone you’d like to speak to, say something. Don’t wait for the other person to start a conversation.
Just meeting someone new doesn’t mean that you’ll make friends with that person — friendships are based on mutual（相互的）liking and “give and take”. They take time and effort to develop. And there are things that keep a new friendship from growing.
6．You can not make friends ________.
A．if you take actions B．by going to people
C．if you avoid(避免) meeting people D．if you won’t join a club
7．The underlined part in paragraph 3 means ________.
A．the person you know B．the person you don’t know

A．good B．exciting C．interesting D．natural
9．Friendships are based on ________.
A．liking each other B．meeting more people
C．talking and smiling D．looking directly at other people
10．In paragraph 5, the underlined part means ________.
A．even if you are not self-confident B．even if you are self-confident
C．Even if you are not comfortable D．even if you are comfortable
11．When meeting someone new, ________.
A．Try to make him feel easy B．Judge him too this or too that
C．Not to talk with him D．let him talk to you first
For more than 30 years, scientists have been arguing about how rainforests like the Amazon might have reacted to the cold dry climates of the ice age, but until now, no one has reached a satisfying answer.
Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to slow global warming. Nowadays, the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year; equal to the total amount of CO2 giving off in the U. K. each year. But how will the Amazon react to future climate change If it gets drier, will it still survive and continue to draw down CO2 Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past.
On the one hand, getting into the Amazon rainforest and collecting information are very difficult. On the other hand, to study past climate, scientists need to look at fossilized pollen (花粉) kept in lake mud. Going back to the last ice age means drilling deep down into lake sediments (沉淀物), which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery. There are very few roads and paths, or places to land helicopters and planes. Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest, but this still leaves vast areas between the rives completely unsampled. So far, only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon rainforest reacts to climate change.
12．Scientists have been arguing about how the Amazon might have ________ the cold dry climates of the ice age.
A．changed in response to B．destroyed C．influenced D．protected
13．Rainforests are important for ________ CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to slow global warming.
A．taking in B．releasing C．increasing D．producing
14．Nowadays, the CO2 the trees in the Amazon remove equals to the total amount of giving off in ________ each year.
A．the U.S.A． B．the U.K. C．England D．Brazil
15．Scientists research about how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past so that they may learn in advance about how the rainforests ________.
A．draw down CO2 B．still protect the soil
C．will get smaller D．will manage in the future
16．The way to go back to last ice age is to ________.
A．get into the forest B．drill deep down into lake sediments
C．find some lake mud D．look at fossilized pollen
17．We may infer from the last paragraph that ________.
A．it’s possible to enter the Amazon through rivers to get enough information
B．so far, scientists have collected some information from the samples
C．it’s necessary to use helicopters for the research
D．there’s little information to study the past climate

三、任务型阅读
Read the passage and answer the following questions (根据文章内容回答下列问题）
Once a boy wanted to fly. He made a pair of wings. He used some wax (蜡) to keep the feathers on the wooden frame. He flew and flew, and flew too close to the Sun. The Sun melted the wax, and the feathers were blown off by the wind. Down came the boy into the ocean.
This is just a story. But it tells us that man has always dreamed of flying. In 1783, this dream came true. Two French brothers invented the hot-air balloon. It rose a thousand feet high.
It took almost 100 years for man to move from the hot-air balloon to the first airship. The first airship was invented in the late 1800s. It was a powered (装有发动机的) balloon.
In North Carolina, less than twenty-five years later, the Wright Brothers flew the first airplane. This first flight, in 1903, lasted less than half a minute! It covered just a few feet.
By the 1960s, man had moved from airplanes to spacecrafts. Today, space-crafts can go around the world in less than two hours. Tomorrow. Who knows
25．Why did the boy in the story make a pair of wings
26．When did man succeed in flying to the sky for the first time
27．Was the first airship a hot-air balloon or a powered balloon
28．How long did the first flight of the first airplane last
29．How far did the first airplane fly
30．What does the writer want to tell us from this passage
根据短文内容填写下面表格。每空一词。
In common with many countries, Britain has serious environmental problems. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog. The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot.
Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. In December 1991, there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot. As a result, about 160 people died from pollution in just four days.
Part of the problem is the new “out of town” shopping centers. In the past, people often walked to shops near their homes or went by bus. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centers. As a result, the small shops have disappeared (消失) and more people have to travel to do their shopping.
Experts say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport (交通). Transport in Britain is very expensive. For example, an early morning train trip from Glasgow to London about 600 km can cost about 100 pounds. A short 15 minutes’ bus trip can cost over 10 pounds.
Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and the cost.

In most American hearts, Mark Twain is a great famous writer. Many of his books are still translated and printed in America or the other countries in the world now. However, he was e 41 a printer, river pilot, soldier and lived a hard life before he became a famous writer.

Another day, a millionaire replaced his unable left eye with a b 46 glass eye. He felt very proud and happy. When he met Mark Twain, he could not help asking, “Can you guess which eye of m 47 is the glass one ” Mark Twain pointed to the millionaire’s left eye.
