Ⅳ. 阅读理解
Robert Kohout, 39, was working outside his home last October when he heard a frightening noise. He turned round and saw Walter Graham's car sinking into 8 feet of water of the swimming pool a little distance away from his yard. Kohout immediately called to Graham's wife, Evelyn, to phone 911. Then he ran back to his house to get Terence Reif and Glenn Fajardo to help, who were at work inside the house. “There was no time for second thoughts，” said Reif, a farmer's son. “The only thing to do is to get in the pool.”
The car doors were locked. Graham, 73, was unconscious, and his mercury was rapidly filling with water. Reif struggled to break the driver's side window with a hammer but had trouble getting it done underwater.
Finally, some four minutes after the car had fallen into the pool, the glass was broken. By then, Graham was floating at the top of the flooded passenger compartment.
The three men pulled Graham out through the broken glass. He wasn't breathing and his heart stopped beating, so they performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The rescue team arrived in no time. Doctors supplied him with advanced life support on the way to the hospital.
“These people were getting to Graham through the glass，” said Dr Jeff. “All three acted without regard for their own safety.” Added Evelyn Graham, “they were true angels, watching over us”．
1. Who may Terence Reif and Glenn Fajardo most probably be?
A．Walter's wife and son. B．Policemen.
C．Workmen. D．Robert's wife and son.
2. In the second paragraph, the underlined word “mercury” refers to ________.
A．another workman B．the old man's car
C．the swimming pool D．a kind of machine

A．A way of helping people who need water.
B．A way of helping people who have heart trouble.
C．A way of saving people who have got drunk.
D．A way of saving people who have stopped breathing.
4. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A．Angels around us B．The underwater car

(1) Mr Brown (the motorist) (驾车人)
At about 9：20 pm on October 14th, I was driving along Market Road in the direction of Midwick. I wanted to go to Sturham to collect my wife, who had been visiting some friends. I prepared to turn into Sturham Road, which was on my right. In the distance, I saw the lights of a car moving towards me but it was a long way from me. I put out my hand to show that I was going to turn right. Then I started to turn slowly towards Sturham Road. Suddenly there was a loud noise on the passenger's (near) side of the cars. I stopped the car and got out. A motorcycle (摩托车) had hit my car. The motorcyclist had been thrown over the car. He was injured, so I ran to a shop to phone for help.
(2) Mr Smith (the injured motorcyclist)
On the evening of October 14th, I was going home along Market Road towards Newtown. I was riding my motorcycle. I was going slowly because some of the street lights were out and the road was wet and slippery. Just before Sturham Road, a car suddenly drove right across my path. The driver did not flash his light to give a warning. I would not turn in time, so I hit the side of the car. When I woke up, I was lying in a hospital in Market Road.

At about 9：10 pm on October 14, I left my home in Midwick. Ten minutes later I was riding my motorcycle along the Market Road. I was going to Newtown.

I love camping. It's my favourite way to spent the summer vacation. Last year, my family and I went camping in the countryside. It was one of the most excited experiences I had never had. We slept in a tent and went for a long walk every day. We cook over a fire and the food always tasted wonderfully. For a whole week, I saw lovely mountain views or breathed fresh air. At the night, I heard the gentle wind blowing in the tree, and I felt so peaceful. It doesn't cost many to camp, and I believe it's the best way to get close nature and enjoy its beauty.

A
Most American students go to traditional public schools. There are about 88，000 public schools all over the US. Some students attend charter schools.
Charter schools are self-governing. Certain companies operate (经营)some charter schools. They are similar in some ways to traditional public schools. They receive tax money just as other public schools do. Charter schools must prove to local or state governments that their students are learning. These governments provide the schools with the agreement called a charter that permits (允许) them to operate.
Charter schools are different because they do not have to obey most laws that govern traditional public schools. Each school can choose its own goals and decide what to teach and how to teach them in their own way. Class size is usually smaller than in traditional public schools.
The government strongly supports charter schools as a way to reorganize public schools, which are failing to educate students. But some education unions are against charter schools. One teachers' union has just released the results of the first national study, which compared the progress of students in both traditional schools and charter schools.
The results of the study show that charter school students performed worse on maths and reading tests than the students in traditional public schools.
Some experts say the study is not fair because students in charter schools have more problems than students in traditional public schools. Other education experts say the study results would make charter school officials realize that they should help their students make greater progress.
1. If a company wants to operate a charter school, it must ________.
A．try new methods of teaching
B．prove its management ability
C．obey the local and state laws
D．get the government's permission
2. What's the government's attitude to charter schools?
A．Doubtful. B．Supportive.
C．Satisfied. D．Unclear.
3. What can we learn from the text?
A．More students choose to attend charter schools.
B．Charter schools are better than traditional schools.
C．Students in charter schools are well educated.
D．People have different opinions about charter schools.
4. What might be the best title for the text?
A．Charter schools in America
B．Public schools in America
C．Schools in America
D．Education in America
B
How hard we have all prayed (祈祷) to grow up quickly, and looked forward to the happy days of being a grown-up and enjoying the many interests that the youth should have.
At last, you have grown up. At least you are no longer a child. They call you “young lady”. You then enjoy the pleasure of being a young lady. You are proud of being a grown-up teenager. People welcome you—this young lady—heartily. You are glad that your prayer has been answered.
But there is always something that troubles you a lot. You say, “Papa and Mama, give me some money please. My pocket money is all gone already.”
“No，” they say, “your age is a dangerous age. If you have too much money to spend, it won't do you any good.” Then you have to stay at home because you dare not go out with an empty pocket.
Another time you tell your grandma, “Grandma, see, I am a grown-up now.”
“Good, now, you can sit here and knit (编织) this for me while I go and have a rest.” To show that you are no more a child, you have to sit there the whole afternoon doing the work, which only a grown-up can do. After an hour, you find it hard to do, and give the knitting basket back to your grandma. Your grandma criticizes your work. You hear what she says, “Such a big girl can't do such easy work.” You wish then you were a child again.
But the fact is, you are growing up, and you can't help it. That's the way it goes!
5. The passage is told about ________ problems.
A．a growing-up boy's B．an old woman's
C．a teenage girl's D．a grown-up's
6. How does she know her prayer has been answered?
A．She is no longer a kid.
B．People begin to call her teenager.
C．She can join women in all kinds of activities.
D．People treat her as a young lady.
7. From what her parents say, we know ________.
A．they still regard her as a child
B．they don't believe she is already a teenager
C．it's dangerous for a girl to spend money
D．they love her more than before
8. Having heard her grandma's criticism(批评), ________.
A．she has to lie in bed, doing nothing
B．she wishes she were not growing up
C．she knows she has already worked the whole afternoon
D．she finds it isn't her turn to do knitting

Ⅳ.【文章大意】 39岁的Robert Kohout 在屋外工作时发现Graham连同汽车掉入水中，急忙拨打Graham的妻子的电话告知其报警，并找人帮助救援Graham, Graham的妻子称他们是守护人们的天使。
1．C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Robert Kohout, 39, was working outside his home last October when he heard a frightening noise.”和“Then he ran back to his house to get Terence Reif and Glenn Fajardo to help, who were at work inside the house.”可知，39岁的Robert Kohout在屋外工作，Terence Reif 和Glenn Fajardo两人在屋里工作，由此可推出他们可能是工人。故选C项。
2．B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“He turned round and saw Walter Graham's car sinking into 8 feet of water of the swimming pool…” 和第二段的“The car doors were locked. Graham, 73, was unconscious, and his mercury was rapidly filling with water.”可知，Graham的汽车沉入水中，当时Graham失去知觉，他的汽车渗满了水，mercury指这个老人的汽车。故选B项。
3．D 词义猜测题。根据第三段的“He wasn't breathing and his heart stopped beating, so they performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.”可知，三人将Graham 救出水面时，Graham 已经没有呼吸和心跳。他们赶紧实施了人工呼吸。这是一种挽救没有呼吸的人的方法。故选D项。
4．A 主旨大意题。根据末段的“‘All three acted without regard for their own safety.'Added Evelyn Graham，‘they were true angels, watching over us.’”可知，Graham的妻子对救她丈夫的三位英雄充满了感激之情，称他们是我们身边的天使。因此最恰当的标题是A项。

We cookcooked over a fire and the food always tasted wonderfullywonderful. For a whole week, I saw lovely mountain views orand breathed fresh air.

单元总结提升Unit 4 EarthquakesUnit 4 Earthquakes Unit 4 | Earthquakes单元话题导入Earthquake
How does an earthquake start?
What makes an earthquake happen? The rock of the earth's crust (地壳) may have a fault, a kind of break in the surface. The blocks which make up the earth move, and sometimes this may cause the sides of the fault to move up and down or lengthways (纵向地) against each other. When one piece of rock starts to rub on another with great force, a lot of energy is used. This energy is changed into vibrations (振动) and it is these vibrations that we feel as an earthquake. Unit 4 | Earthquakes The vibrations can travel thousands of kilometres and so an earthquake in Turkey may be felt in Greece.
What should we do during an earthquake?
● At school
As soon as the earthquake starts, students should get under the desks immediately and wait until the teacher tells them it is safe to come out. The teacher should, at the same time, go immediately to the teacher's desk, get underneath it and stay there till the danger is over. Students must not argue with the teacher or question instructions.Unit 4 | Earthquakes As soon as the tremors (震动) stop, all students should walk towards the exit and go straight to the school playground or any open space such as a square or a park. They must wait there until the teacher tells them it is safe to go.Unit 4 | Earthquakes ● At home
If you are at home when the earthquake occurs, get immediately under the table in the living room or kitchen. Choose the biggest and strongest table you can find. You must not go anywhere near the window and don't go out onto the balcony (阳台). Once the tremors have stopped, you can come out from under the table but you must leave the building straight away. You should walk down the stairs and should not use the lift—there may be a power cut as a result of the earthquake and you could find yourself trapped inside the lift for hours.Unit 4 | Earthquakes ● In the street
If you are in the street when the earthquake takes place, do not stand near buildings, fences or walls—move away as quickly as possible and try to find a large open space to wait in. Standing under trees could also be dangerous.Unit 4 | EarthquakesTask: Which of the following is true (T) or false (F)?
1. As soon as an earthquake occurs, students should leave the building.( )
2. Students should go to the school playground or an open space once the tremors stop. ( )

【写作点拨】
新闻报道通常有比较固定的写作格式，如报道的开头通常是地点或时间，第一句话常常是导语，是对整个报道的高度概括。同时新闻报道要遵循真实性原则。
1．标题醒目。标题通常放在正文的中央位置，概括该篇报道的主要内容。好的标题能使读者在短时间内了解新闻的主要内容，引起阅读兴趣。
2．导语。导语一般置于报道开头，作用是吸引读者的注意力，因此导语要求能高度概括报道的内容，让读者一看就能了解整篇报道最吸引人的地方。Period Four │ 单元话题写作3．主体简洁、生动。主体一般被认为是导语的注释和补充。主体部分在报道中占相当大的篇幅，主体展开的结构可以以事实的重要程度为序，也可以以时间、空间或逻辑为序。行文要尽量避免使用被动语态，抓住一些显著的细节进行深入描写。注意语法要正确，动词及时态的使用要恰当等。
4．结构。新闻报道通常采用经典的“倒金字塔(the Inverted Pyramid)”结构，由三个部分组成，即标题(headline)、导语(lead-in)和主体(body)。其中主体部分常常又按照：a list of main ideas，a list of important details这样的顺序来写。Period Four │ 单元话题写作【词句模板】

He screamed his son's name, “ARMAND！” He heard back, “Dad！！！ It's me, Dad! I told the other kids not to worry. I told them that if you were alive, you'd save me and when you saved me, they'd be saved. You promised, No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you!

Ⅲ.阅读理解
Do you want to be a successful person? Would you like to know how successful people usually think and what drives them? Here I am going to tell you the key to success that successful people share.
First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their failure to move ahead. They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they can't control things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. At the same time, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take responsibility for their life.
Perhaps what most separates successful people from others is that they live life “on purpose”— they are doing what they believe they are put here to do. In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important element that enables them to deal with things around them. They hold the view that when they live their life “on purpose”， their main concern is to do the job right. They live what they do. People want to do business with them because of their commitment. To live their life “on purpose”， successful people find a cause they believe in and create a business around it.
Besides, they never give up easily. Once they have set up goals in their life, they are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Achievers always bear in mind what they don't have forever. Rather than see this as negative or depressing, they would use the knowledge to spur themselves on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.
So keep in mind what successful people always hold to be true so that you will have a clear idea of what you should do to be successful in life.
1. According to the passage, to be successful, ________.
A．you should set up a realistic goal
B．you should know your strengths and weaknesses
C．you shouldn't blame others for your failure
D．you shouldn't waste time
2. Which is NOT the key to success that successful people share?
A．Taking responsibility for their life.
B．Never giving up easily.
C．Having a goal in life.
D．Controlling things in life.
3. The underlined word “spur” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
A．interest B．equip C．depend D．inspire
4. The author's purpose in writing this passage is to ________.
A．explain the exact meaning of success
B．share the key to success with readers
C．tell his experience of achieving success
D．encourage readers to learn from failure

Can the feeling of nostalgia (怀旧) be good for you? Or is it unhealthy to have a strong love for the past?
For years, medical experts have studied nostalgia and the reasons for it. Many experts warn that too much nostalgia is harmful. They say linger(徘徊) in the past shows that a person is unhappy with his present life. These feelings keep the person from living his life to its fullest.
However, experts say it is normal to love the past sometimes. In fact, a little nostalgia can enrich a person's life.
Dr Louise Kaplan has written several books about nostalgia. She says these feelings often begin when a young person is between 13 and 19 years old.
“This is the time when you must face the loss of your childhood，” Kaplan says. “You see your new life is easily destroyed. But you think romantically about a golden past. You remember your childhood as a time when life is perfect.”
These feelings continue as the person gets older, Kaplan adds. She says many grown persons have a hard time keeping up with changes in the modern world, so they think back to their younger years. At that time the world seemed simple and more harmless.
Kaplan says these feelings do not always actually exist. The good old days did not always exist. The good old days weren't always good. However, she says nostalgia can be helpful, if used properly.
“Feelings of nostalgia can cause you to remember a time when you had high hopes and dreams，” Kaplan says. “It might give you the strong wish to catch those dreams today in your past life.”She adds that nostalgia can prevent you from “cutting yourself off from your aim”．
1．The feeling of nostalgia ________.
A．might cause you to try to realize the golden dream in the present life
B．can fill one with hopes for the future
C．can bring about a love for the past and a hope for the future
D．can cause you to think of your past which was full of hopes and dreams
2．The reason for grown persons to think back to their past is that ________.
A．time is hard, so they cannot keep up with changes
B．many grown persons have little time keeping up with changes in the modern world
C．they can hardly keep up with changes in today's world
D．they lived in the past, of which they are always proud
3．Which of the following is NOT talked about in the passage?
A．Only women have feelings of nostalgia.
B．Too much nostalgia is harmful.
C．Nostalgia shows that a person is not satisfied with his present life.
D．A little nostalgia can make a person's life more colourful.
4．We may also use this sentence as the topic of the article: ________.
A．Nostalgia, good or bad
B．Thoughts on nostalgia
C．The reasons for nostalgia
D．Why do they think back to the past

Koalas remind people of teddy bears. They have thick fur and large ears. Their broad, flat nose makes them look cute, similar to teddy bears. In fact koalas aren't cute. They have sharp teeth and very sharp claws! Koalas are marsupials. This means the mother carries her baby in a pocket while it develops, similar to a kangaroo. The baby koala lives in its mother's pocket for the first six months of its life.
The name “koala” comes from a native Australian word that means “no drink”. The koalas get almost all their water from the eucalyptus(桉树)leaves they eat. That's where they get their food too. Koalas eat only eucalyptus leaves, and only the leaves of certain eucalyptus trees. The eucalyptus trees are where the koalas live. It's also where they sleep. Koalas sleep about nineteen hours a day!
Why do they sleep so much? Some people think it's because they're lazy. But koalas aren't lazy. They sleep so much because there isn't much nutrition in eucalyptus leaves. Koalas store hardly any fat, so they must save their energy. One way to do this is to move slowly and sleep a lot.
After a day of sleeping they like to move around and eat just after sunset. They live alone most of the time. Koalas are very protective of their trees. If a koala sees another koala eating in its favourite tree, it might tell the other koala to leave by “barking” at it. Koalas do “talk” to each other. Besides barks, the males make deep grunting sounds. The mothers and babies talk in soft clicking sounds. If they get scared they may scream like a baby.
5．According to the article, how are koalas and kangaroos alike?
A．They both have thick fur.
B．They both have sharp teeth.
C．They both eat eucalyptus leaves.
D．They both carry their young in a pocket.
6．The word “koala” comes from a word that means ________.
A．no drink B.moving slowly
C．large ears D.barking loudly
7. Why do koalas sleep a lot?
A．Their babies need to get much rest.
B．They get tired from playing so much.
C．Their food does not give them much energy.
D．They do not like to be awake when it is warm.
8. If an adult koala screams like a baby, he may get ________.
A．worried B.scared
C．hungry D.sleepy

What was your favourite sport during your childhood? Maybe running around the playground or jumping rope for hours would bring you pleasure. At that time you weren't thinking of health, and you were just thinking of entertainment (娱乐). But in this age of high-tech home equipment, the simple joy of jumping rope has been forgotten. I think rediscovering it probably will give you a total-body exercise.
Although considered as an excellent form of exercise, jumping rope has never been widely accepted because of two reasons. First, most people consider jumping rope to be an excellent form of cardiovascular(心血管的) exercise, but they also believe that it is simply too difficult. In other words, they don't think they'll be able to continue jumping for the near 20 minutes in order to achieve a beneficial physical effect. Second, many people regard it as a little boring and overly repetitive exercise—not as something fun or enjoyable.
As_a_matter_of_fact,_jumping_rope_can_be_great_fun_as_long_as_you_find_proper_ways_to_practise_it. Instead of doing the usual two-foot bounce (跳) over and over again, players who are good at rope-jumping often change their pattern every 10 or 20 jumps. A single bounce, a double bounce, a skip, a knee-up, side swings, as well as a variety of other easy-to-learn free-style rope-jumping.
Nowadays researchers are discovering that jumping rope also prepares the brain for learning. It is an exercise allowing both brain hemispheres (半球) to perform equally to each other. In a word, jumping rope can be a life-long activity requiring little equipment, time and space, yet leading to a much healthier life.
9. One reason that can explain why rope-jumping has not spread widely is that________.
A．it is believed to be boring and repetitive
B．it is too difficult for people to learn to jump
C．it benefits the cardiovascular system
D．it requires little equipment, time and space
10．The first sentence in Paragraph 3 implies that ________ in rope-jumping.
A．there is only one proper way to follow
B．the usual way should not be used again
C．the easiest way is always the best one
D．there are different kinds of ways to follow
11. According to the researchers, jumping rope ________ .
A．only prepares the brain for learning
B．is suitable for students only
C．helps both brain hemispheres work together
D．can be dangerous for old people
12．What is the author's attitude towards rope-jumping?
A．He strongly argues against it.
B．He is sitting on the fence of it.
C．He is for it.
D．He knows little about it.
D
A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a piece of advice, “I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage，” she offered. “Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together.”
The husband agreed. So each of them tried to think of the things that annoyed them about the other and wrote down what they came up with. The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists.
“I'll start，” offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill three pages. In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband's eyes because he never thought that he had so many shortcomings.
The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. “Now, you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists，” she said happily.
Quietly the husband stated, “I don't have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect. I don't want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn't want to try and change anything about you.” The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.
In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don't really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us and see the wonderful things before us?
13．Why were there tears in the husband's eyes when the wife read his annoyances?
A．Because he had no courage to face his shortcomings.
B．Because he never thought he had so many annoyances in his wife's eyes.
C．Because he was sorry that he didn't find any annoyance about his wife.
D．Because he didn't think he deserved to have such a perfect wife.
14．After hearing the husband's words, the wife felt ________.
A．moved and ashamed
B．sad and disappointed
C．satisfied and proud
D．surprised and confused
15．The story is intended to tell us that ________.
A．disappointment cannot be avoided in our life
B．young couples should be no more tolerant (宽容的) to each other
C．we should turn a blind eye to other people's blame
D．we should try to look for and see the wonderful things around us

Ⅴ.One possible version：
Yesterday afternoon our school had an earthquake drill.
We were having classes. Then suddenly, the earthquake alarm sounded. “Earthquake ！” The school broadcast announced. In the teacher's command, we put our heads in our hands and then hid ourselves under the desks. I'm much too tall, but managed to hide under the desk. After a while, our teacher stood in front of the classroom, shouting: “There are aftershocks! Run downstairs to the school playground! ”So we tried our best to escape the quake one by one. The earthquake drill seemed little confusion, but order and safety. Soon we all left the building, safe on the playground. Later, our teacher taught us how to rescue others who are in danger in the earthquake between the aftershocks, because we should do so!
From this earthquake drill, we learned a lot.We have learned not only how to save our lives, but also how to help others. What we learned is of great importance when in danger.In a word, we have learned to respect lives. Thanks for our teachers and school!
