三、阅读理解
Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa. It is also the second largest lake in the world. It is an important lake because it is one of the sources for the longest river in the world, the Nile River. Lake Victoria provides a source of water, food, and power for several African countries. Lake Victoria is a big part of African life.
Unfortunately, Lake Victoria has a problem. It is shrinking. There are several power stations at Lake Victoria in Uganda. These are on the Nile River, and besides producing power, they keep the water of the lake at a certain level. For the past forty years, that level has been 11.9 meters. Over the last several years, the water level has dropped by about 2.5 meters. There seem to be several reasons for this drop.
One possible reason is drought(干旱). Drought has been very bad in the area since 2000. Lake Victoria gets all of its water from rain, so the drought means less water in the lake.
However, some environmentalists believe that the real problem is the power plants(factories) on Lake Victoria. Uganda depends on those power plants for most of its power, and they made the power plants larger in 2000. Many people believe the power plants have been taking too much water off Lake Victoria. As a result, they have been asked to use less water until Lake Victoria goes back to its old level.
Whether the low water level is caused by drought or power plants, the result is the same. This is already a poor area of Africa, where many people live a really hard life. People, animals and plants around Lake Victoria will suffer even more from low water levels on the lake. Many people need Lake Victoria for fishing or growing food. Fish need the water to live, and animals need it for water.
26．Lake Victoria is _________.
A．an important lake in Africa B．the largest lake in the world
C．the source of water, food and power for America D．the only source for the Nile River
27．What does the underlined sentence “It is shrinking” most probably mean
A．It is becoming larger. B．It is becoming more beautiful.
C．It is becoming smaller. D．It is becoming more useful.
28．The water level of Lake Victoria is now ________.
A．2.5 meters B．11.9 meters C．14.4 meters D．9.4 meters
29．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A．Rain water is the only source for the lake.
B．There has been little rain in the lake area since 2000.
C．The power plants in Uganda provide water for the lake.
D．The power plants in Uganda were made larger in 2000.
30．According to the passage, how can we solve the problems around Lake Victoria
A．People must build more power plants.
B．More sources of water must be found.
C．Every country should offer some money to Africa.
D．All the people living in the area should move to another place.
Thanks to the mass media（大众传媒）, information travels fast. Reporter Xu interviews Dr. Gu, a mass media expert.
Xu: Good morning, Dr. Gu. People like to share information, don’t they
Dr. Gu: Yes. Long ago, when early humans made a discovery, they told their friends. Information spread from person to person. However, mass media is different. It brings news and information to many people very quickly.
Xu: When did mass media begin
Dr. Gu: In Tang Dynasty, people had the first newspaper. And in Song Dynasty, Bi Sheng invented the Movable Type Printing. His invention could quickly print many copies of a book. So today, millions of people can read newspapers around the world. Magazines are also popular because they focus on（专注于）one subject such as movies, fashion, or sports. Advertising helps to pay for the cost of publishing newspapers and magazines.
Xu: What happened next
Dr. Gu: Movies, or “moving pictures”, were invented over 100 years ago. At that time, people started to film news and events from around the world.
Xu: And then the television came next, right
Dr. Gu: In fact, the radio came next. It began about the same time as movies, but the first radio station didn’t start until 1920. Today, there are over 44,000 radio stations around the world. People can listen to the news while they drive or work.
Xu: When did television start
Dr. Gu: It started in the 1930s. Now, television is everywhere, bringing entertainment to people. Some events are broadcast live while they are happening.
Xu: So people have a lot of ways to get the latest news, don’t they
Dr. Gu: They do, but you mustn’t forget the latest way—the Web! Today, around 40% of the people in the world use the Web. The Web uses the Internet to give us 24-hour news. Also, with smartphones, people can access（访问）the Web wherever they go.
Xu: We live in very interesting times.
Dr. Gu: That’s true. It will be exciting to see what’s next in the world of mass media.

C．It’s very easy for people to access the Web while driving.

Dogs can be our best friends, but we must understand their signs (示意) to stay safe!

*If a dog seems scared (害怕的), it might bite. So, stay away from a dog who is hiding, growling (低吼) and running away from you, or one who is barking, shaking and holding its tail between its legs. These are signs of fear. You should leave the dog alone and don’t look it in the eyes.
*Never go up to a dog while it is eating as it may think you want some of its food and might bite you to keep you from taking its meal away.
*Don’t go up to a sleeping dog as you may scare it when you wake it up by touching it and it might bite you without meaning to.

The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence perhaps viewed by some cultural groups as quite uncomfortable; therefore tries may be made to fill every gap （间隙） with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.
Many local Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what perhaps shows is that the man wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection（反应）.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts（冲突） among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in power rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, especially to an elder or a person in power.
Nurses and other care-givers need to realize the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety（焦虑）their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should learn about their own personal and cultural situation of silence so that a patient’s silence is not stopped too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the curing value of silence can use this understanding to help in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
40．Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought
A．The Chinese. B．The French. C．The Mexicans. D．The Russians.
41．What does the writer advise nurses to do about silence
A．Let it continue as the patient pleases. B．Break it while treating patients.
C．Study its harm to patients. D．Make use of its healing effects.
42．What may be the best title for the text
A．Sound and Silence B．What It Means to Be Silent
C．Silence to Native Americans D．Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold
四、单词拼写
43．Our teachers always tell us not to be (紧张的) before having a test.
44．Jo and Jane are a match for each other. (完美的)
45．One of the (目的) of the talk is to teach you how to separate the rubbish into different groups.
46．Schools are trying to make sure the students can get (充分的) sleep.
47．She has decided not to (接受) the job.
五、短文填空
根据短文意思和所给字母，写出一个完整正确的单词。
Have you ever compared your handwriting with your friends’ to see how different it is Like fingerprints, n 48 two people share the same handwriting. Your handwriting can actually say a lot about what kind of person you are. Try writing out a sentence: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Then see what your handwriting says about you.
Size of your handwriting
Did you know that the size of your handwriting can represent the level of your self-respect and self-awareness Large handwriting may show that you’re easy to get along with and you want to be n 49 by others. On the other hand, small handwriting may mean that you’re shy and careful, and always pay attention to details. Medium-sized handwriting shows that you can get used to a new environment easily.
Spacing between words
Do you leave a large space between your words when you write According to a study, the distance between two words can show how c 50 or how far you feel towards others. If you write with wide spacing between your words, it may mean that you enjoy your freedom. On the other hand, people leaving narrow spacing between words may like s 51 with others.
Slant(倾斜) of the words
Did you know that the slant in your handwriting can tell how you treat people and things around you Slanting to the right means you welcome or accept new ideas easily. And you consider your friends and family are more important than anything else. While slanting to the left may show that you think deeply about your own thoughts, feelings or behaviors. And you prefer to work behind the scenes. If you write without slanting at all, you may be practical.
A 52 the handwriting analyses are not always true, we can read them for fun. What matters most is you should write carefully.
六、任务型阅读
阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题 (每题回答字数不超过10个词)。
Scientists have worked out when our Sun will die. It won’t be any time soon. It will be in 10 billion years. The scientists are from the University of Manchester in the UK. They predict that in about 5 billion years from now, the Sun will turn into a “red giant”. This is the scientific name given to a star at the end of its life. When our Sun becomes a red giant, its centre will shrink (收缩) . Its outer layers will expand (膨胀) as far as Mars. This means Earth will be burnt and disappear. After our Sun turns into a red giant, it will become a bubble of gas and space dust. The scientists say no humans will be on Earth when the Sun dies out.
The Sun is still quite young in space years. It is just 4.6 billion years old. This means it is only around one third into its lifespan (寿命) . Professor Albert Zijlstra, a scientist from the University of Manchester, explained what happens at the end of a star’s life. He said, “By this point in the star’s life, it is running out of fuel. Then it turns off and dies.” Professor Zijlstra was happy that modern science can count the age of stars and what will happen to them. “We even have found out what the Sun will do when it dies.” He said.
53．According to the scientists, when will the sun die
54．When do we call a star “red giant”
55．What will happen to humans when the sun dies out
56．What’s the lifespan of the Sun
57．Should we worry about the sun’s death Why or why not

7．C
【详解】句意：哪个单词可以加上前缀“un-”，从而变成一个新单词？
考查构词法。possible可能的；active积极主动的；certain必然的；correct正确的。certain加上前缀“un-”，为uncertain“无法确定的，无把握的”。故选C
8．B
【详解】句意：——为什么不邀请他们共进晚餐呢？——好的。那听起来很好。
考查非谓语动词及感官动词用法。Why not do sth. “为什么不做某事”，固定句式。invite sb. to…“邀请某人去……”，固定搭配。sound“听起来”，感官动词，其后接形容词作表语。故选B。
9．B
【详解】句意：——停下来休息一下，迈克。你连续阅读两个小时了。——但是这本书真的很有趣。
考查非谓语动词。stop doing sth“停止正在做的事”；stop to do sth“停下来去做另一件事”。根据“You keep reading for two hours.”可知是建议对方停止读书去休息一下，用动词不定式作宾语。故选B。
10．D
【详解】句意：汤姆在厨房洗碗，而杰克在房间里看电视。
考查连词。if如果；whether是否；as随着；while当……时候。根据“Tom was washing the dishes in the kitchen” 和“Jack was watching TV in the room.”可知，当一件事情正在进行的时候，另外一件事也在进行，所以两句话的动作是同时发生，因此while符合句意。故选D。
11．D

13．C
【详解】句意：昨天，我们正在操场上踢足球，突然下起了大雨。
考查连词辨析。until直到；while在……期间，表达一个“时间段”，不能表达“时间点”，从句的动词只限于持续性动词；when当……时，多指“时间点”；before之前。be doing...when...表示“正在做某事时另外一件事发生”。故选C。
14．B
【详解】试题分析：句意：--你能使美丽的声音像鸟一样，因此精彩极了。--谢谢。A. That's OK没关系；B. Thank you 谢谢你；C. That's all right没关系；D. I'm afraid not我不害怕。故选B。
考点：考查交际用语。
15．C
【详解】句意：良好的举止对我们来说重要。
考查非谓语动词。It's important for sb. to do sth.表示“做某事对某人来说重要”。it为形式主语，真正的主语为后面的不定式。故答案选C。
【点睛】在it固定句型中，除了要知道it用作形式主语，不定式作真正主语外，还要掌握sb.前面介词for/of的用法。在“It is + adj. + for sb. to do sth.”与“It is + adj. + of sb. to do sth.”两个句型中，介词用for还是of应根据作表语的形容词的词义特点和说话人的侧重而定。当形容词是说明不定式的特性时，要用介词for，也就是说不定式（短语）与形容词在逻辑上存在“主语和表语”的关系。例如：It's important for us to stay healthy. （保持身体健康对我们来说很重要。）
(本句子中的important说明的是to stay healthy的特性，即句子侧重的是说“To stay healthy is important.”) 注意：与介词for搭配的往往是表示事物的特性的形容词，如important、necessary、difficult、easy、hard、possible等。
当形容词是说明不定式的逻辑主语的特性时，要用of，也就是说不定式的逻辑主语sb.和形容词在逻辑上存在“主语和表语”的关系。例如：It's kind of you to help me.（你帮助我真是太好了。）（句中的kind是用来说明you的特征，即句子侧重说得是“You are kind.”）

How to live a green life
Everyone can make small changes in their lifestyle and help reduce pollution and waste.
First, we can ride bikes or walk to school rather than going by car, as this can help reduce air pollution. Second, we should turn off the lights when going out as well as turn off the tap when we brush our teeth. Besides, we shouldn’t use plastic bags when we go shopping, because plastic is harmful to the environment. Last but not least, we need to plant more trees and flowers to make the environment greener.
If we keep doing this, I believe the environment will be better and better. Let’s do everything we can to live a green life and protect our planet.

三、阅读理解
Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa. It is also the second largest lake in the world. It is an important lake because it is one of the sources for the longest river in the world, the Nile River. Lake Victoria provides a source of water, food, and power for several African countries. Lake Victoria is a big part of African life.
Unfortunately, Lake Victoria has a problem. It is shrinking. There are several power stations at Lake Victoria in Uganda. These are on the Nile River, and besides producing power, they keep the water of the lake at a certain level. For the past forty years, that level has been 11.9 meters. Over the last several years, the water level has dropped by about 2.5 meters. There seem to be several reasons for this drop.
One possible reason is drought(干旱). Drought has been very bad in the area since 2000. Lake Victoria gets all of its water from rain, so the drought means less water in the lake.
However, some environmentalists believe that the real problem is the power plants(factories) on Lake Victoria. Uganda depends on those power plants for most of its power, and they made the power plants larger in 2000. Many people believe the power plants have been taking too much water off Lake Victoria. As a result, they have been asked to use less water until Lake Victoria goes back to its old level.
Whether the low water level is caused by drought or power plants, the result is the same. This is already a poor area of Africa, where many people live a really hard life. People, animals and plants around Lake Victoria will suffer even more from low water levels on the lake. Many people need Lake Victoria for fishing or growing food. Fish need the water to live, and animals need it for water.
26．Lake Victoria is _________.
A．an important lake in Africa B．the largest lake in the world
C．the source of water, food and power for America D．the only source for the Nile River
27．What does the underlined sentence “It is shrinking” most probably mean
A．It is becoming larger. B．It is becoming more beautiful.
C．It is becoming smaller. D．It is becoming more useful.
28．The water level of Lake Victoria is now ________.
A．2.5 meters B．11.9 meters C．14.4 meters D．9.4 meters
29．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A．Rain water is the only source for the lake.
B．There has been little rain in the lake area since 2000.
C．The power plants in Uganda provide water for the lake.
D．The power plants in Uganda were made larger in 2000.
30．According to the passage, how can we solve the problems around Lake Victoria
A．People must build more power plants.
B．More sources of water must be found.
C．Every country should offer some money to Africa.
D．All the people living in the area should move to another place.
Thanks to the mass media（大众传媒）, information travels fast. Reporter Xu interviews Dr. Gu, a mass media expert.
Xu: Good morning, Dr. Gu. People like to share information, don’t they
Dr. Gu: Yes. Long ago, when early humans made a discovery, they told their friends. Information spread from person to person. However, mass media is different. It brings news and information to many people very quickly.
Xu: When did mass media begin
Dr. Gu: In Tang Dynasty, people had the first newspaper. And in Song Dynasty, Bi Sheng invented the Movable Type Printing. His invention could quickly print many copies of a book.

Xu: What happened next
Dr. Gu: Movies, or “moving pictures”, were invented over 100 years ago. At that time, people started to film news and events from around the world.

Xu: When did television start
Dr. Gu: It started in the 1930s. Now, television is everywhere, bringing entertainment to people. Some events are broadcast live while they are happening.
Xu: So people have a lot of ways to get the latest news, don’t they
Dr. Gu: They do, but you mustn’t forget the latest way—the Web! Today, around 40% of the people in the world use the Web. The Web uses the Internet to give us 24-hour news. Also, with smartphones, people can access（访问）the Web wherever they go.
Xu: We live in very interesting times.
Dr. Gu: That’s true. It will be exciting to see what’s next in the world of mass media.

*Never go up to a dog while it is eating as it may think you want some of its food and might bite you to keep you from taking its meal away.
*Don’t go up to a sleeping dog as you may scare it when you wake it up by touching it and it might bite you without meaning to.

The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence perhaps viewed by some cultural groups as quite uncomfortable; therefore tries may be made to fill every gap （间隙） with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.
Many local Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what perhaps shows is that the man wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection（反应）.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts（冲突） among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in power rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, especially to an elder or a person in power.
Nurses and other care-givers need to realize the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety（焦虑）their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should learn about their own personal and cultural situation of silence so that a patient’s silence is not stopped too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the curing value of silence can use this understanding to help in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
40．Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought
A．The Chinese. B．The French. C．The Mexicans. D．The Russians.
41．What does the writer advise nurses to do about silence
A．Let it continue as the patient pleases. B．Break it while treating patients.
C．Study its harm to patients. D．Make use of its healing effects.
42．What may be the best title for the text
A．Sound and Silence B．What It Means to Be Silent
C．Silence to Native Americans D．Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold

They predict that in about 5 billion years from now, the Sun will turn into a “red giant”. This is the scientific name given to a star at the end of its life. When our Sun becomes a red giant, its centre will shrink (收缩) . Its outer layers will expand (膨胀) as far as Mars. This means Earth will be burnt and disappear. After our Sun turns into a red giant, it will become a bubble of gas and space dust. The scientists say no humans will be on Earth when the Sun dies out.
The Sun is still quite young in space years. It is just 4.6 billion years old. This means it is only around one third into its lifespan (寿命) . Professor Albert Zijlstra, a scientist from the University of Manchester, explained what happens at the end of a star’s life. He said, “By this point in the star’s life, it is running out of fuel. Then it turns off and dies.” Professor Zijlstra was happy that modern science can count the age of stars and what will happen to them. “We even have found out what the Sun will do when it dies.” He said.
53．According to the scientists, when will the sun die
54．When do we call a star “red giant”
55．What will happen to humans when the sun dies out
56．What’s the lifespan of the Sun
57．Should we worry about the sun’s death Why or why not

7．C
【详解】句意：哪个单词可以加上前缀“un-”，从而变成一个新单词？
考查构词法。possible可能的；active积极主动的；certain必然的；correct正确的。certain加上前缀“un-”，为uncertain“无法确定的，无把握的”。故选C
8．B
【详解】句意：——为什么不邀请他们共进晚餐呢？——好的。那听起来很好。
考查非谓语动词及感官动词用法。Why not do sth. “为什么不做某事”，固定句式。invite sb. to…“邀请某人去……”，固定搭配。sound“听起来”，感官动词，其后接形容词作表语。故选B。
9．B
【详解】句意：——停下来休息一下，迈克。你连续阅读两个小时了。——但是这本书真的很有趣。
考查非谓语动词。stop doing sth“停止正在做的事”；stop to do sth“停下来去做另一件事”。根据“You keep reading for two hours.”可知是建议对方停止读书去休息一下，用动词不定式作宾语。故选B。
10．D
【详解】句意：汤姆在厨房洗碗，而杰克在房间里看电视。
考查连词。if如果；whether是否；as随着；while当……时候。根据“Tom was washing the dishes in the kitchen” 和“Jack was watching TV in the room.”可知，当一件事情正在进行的时候，另外一件事也在进行，所以两句话的动作是同时发生，因此while符合句意。故选D。

15．C
【详解】句意：良好的举止对我们来说重要。
考查非谓语动词。It's important for sb. to do sth.表示“做某事对某人来说重要”。it为形式主语，真正的主语为后面的不定式。故答案选C。
【点睛】在it固定句型中，除了要知道it用作形式主语，不定式作真正主语外，还要掌握sb.前面介词for/of的用法。在“It is + adj. + for sb. to do sth.”与“It is + adj. + of sb. to do sth.”两个句型中，介词用for还是of应根据作表语的形容词的词义特点和说话人的侧重而定。当形容词是说明不定式的特性时，要用介词for，也就是说不定式（短语）与形容词在逻辑上存在“主语和表语”的关系。例如：It's important for us to stay healthy. （保持身体健康对我们来说很重要。）
(本句子中的important说明的是to stay healthy的特性，即句子侧重的是说“To stay healthy is important.”) 注意：与介词for搭配的往往是表示事物的特性的形容词，如important、necessary、difficult、easy、hard、possible等。
当形容词是说明不定式的逻辑主语的特性时，要用of，也就是说不定式的逻辑主语sb.和形容词在逻辑上存在“主语和表语”的关系。例如：It's kind of you to help me.（你帮助我真是太好了。）（句中的kind是用来说明you的特征，即句子侧重说得是“You are kind.”）

How to live a green life
Everyone can make small changes in their lifestyle and help reduce pollution and waste.
First, we can ride bikes or walk to school rather than going by car, as this can help reduce air pollution. Second, we should turn off the lights when going out as well as turn off the tap when we brush our teeth. Besides, we shouldn’t use plastic bags when we go shopping, because plastic is harmful to the environment. Last but not least, we need to plant more trees and flowers to make the environment greener.
If we keep doing this, I believe the environment will be better and better. Let’s do everything we can to live a green life and protect our planet.
