A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）: ( 6分)
What does your name mean
(An extract from ‘Names Can Be Fun’)
Do you know what y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )our name means I know that my name, Vivienne, means ‘alive’ or ‘lively’.
If you don’t know w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat your name means, there are books in your local library or school library listing names and their meanings.
It’s fun to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )look up the meaning of our names, although they don’t really mean much these days.
For example, the name ‘Brasil’ means ‘king’ or ‘kingly’. Today not many kings are called ‘Brasil’. But once upon a time there must have been a king named Brasil. The name ‘Boyd’ means ‘yellow hair’. Once upon a time there must have been a Boyd with fair hair. Once there must have been a Dale who lived in valley.
You may find that some names have different explanations. My daughter Belinda found three different meanings for her name in different books. The first gave the meaning ‘snake or serpent-like’; the second, ‘grace’; and the third, ‘beautiful or pretty’. Guess which meaning Belinda prefers! Where meanings vary, choose the one you like best. Parents usually look up the meaning of names before they decide on a name for their child. They want to make sure they don’t choose a name with an unpleasant meaning. I don’t think many parents today would choose a name like Jabez, which means ‘causing pain’. However, if parents really like a name, they will probably choose it, whatever it means.
( )55. The person who wrote the passage is _____________.
A) Vera B) Vince C) Valerie D) Vivienne
( )56. If you w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ant to know what your name means, you can ___________.
A) ask your parents B) find out who first used it
C) check it ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in a book in the library D) ask someone with the same name
( )57. The name ‘Brasil’ means ________
A) lively B) kingly C) beautiful D) causing pain
( )58.Which name most likely means ‘a valley’
A) Dale B) Boyd C) Jabez D) Belinda
( )59. The unde ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rlined word ‘fair’ in Paragraph 4 probably means _________
A) black B) white C) yellow D) red
( )60. Accordi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng to this passage, ‘Jabez’ usually has a(n) ________ meaning.
A) unpleasant B) wonderful C) different D) beautiful
B. Choose the wor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ds or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或短语完成短文）:（6分）
( ) 61. A) closer B) easier C) further D) clearer
( ) 62. A) think of B) talk over C) pay attention to D) talk about
( ) 63. A) what B) how C) why D) how much
( ) 64. A) with B) in C) by D) for
( ) 65. A) can B) may C) must D) should

Cosplay is quit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e popular nowadays, especially in Japan. Read the magazine article about cosplay Kitty found.
D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）: ( 6分)
The French call this d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ay “Mardi Gras”, which means “Fat Tuesday”, because they had to use up any fatty food (such as milk, eggs and butter) before Lent. To do this, they made a kind of thin pancakes which you roll up (卷起) and eat with a little sugar. Today they will celebrate Mardi Gras by eating some thin pancakes.
In the UK, people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )call it “Pancake Tuesday”, and they eat pancakes with lemon and sugar. They also have a few pancake races, where people run along the street, throwing a pancake in the air and catching it in a frying pan!
In Italy, Sh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rove Tuesday is called “Carnevale” which means “goodbye to meat” and gives us the word Carnival. In many places, Carnival celebrations start several weeks before Lent. People eat fritters (special fried pastries(甜点)), and in Naples (那不勒斯) they have plenty of pasta dish called “Grande Lasagne di Carnevale”. One of the most famous Carnivals is in Venice, where people in expensive costumes and hand-made masks go to fashionable parties and dances.
In New Orlea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ns, USA, the whole carnival season is called “Mardi Gras”, because it ends on Shrove Tuesday – but it starts on 6 January! There are lots of fancy-dress parties, street parades and food. Traditionally, everyone eats King cakes, which are round cakes covered in purple, green and gold sugar, with a tiny baby doll hidden inside the cake.
Pancake Tuesday, M ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ardi Gras or Carnival – the name doesn’t matter, because it’s always a great chance to have fun and enjoy huge amounts of delicious food.
73. When do people celebrate Pancake Tuesday
74. What do some people not eat during Lent
75. Why do the French call this day “Fat Tuesday”
76. Italians don’t eat fritters at Carnival, do they
77. What colour is the King cakes
78. What festival do you prefer How do you usually celebrate it
X. Writing (写话): (共12分)
79. Write a letter ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in at least 60 words according to the given situation: (根据所给情境写一封不少于60词的信)
Suppose you are Tess ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a. Your friend Paul is upset because his parents won’t let him stay out late, even at weekends. He doesn’t know what he should do to make them trust (相信) him more and realize that he’s old enough to take care of himself Write a letter to Paul to give your advice about it. (假设你是Tessa, 你的朋友Paul很沮丧，因为他的父母不允许他在外待得太晚，即使是周末。他不知道应该怎样做才能让他的父母相信他并意识到他已足够大能照顾好自己。就此给Paul写封信给予建议)

III. An old lady ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in a plane had a blanket over her head and she did not want to take it off. The air hostess spoke to her, but the old lady said, “I have never been in a plane before, and I am afraid. I am going to keep this blanket over my head until we are back on the ground again!”
Then the captain c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ame. He said, “Madam, I am the captain of this plane. The weather is fine, there are no clouds in the sky, and everything is going very well.” But she didn’t listen to him.

IV. As every ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) parent knows, if you have children, you worry about them all the time. However, it seems that these days we’re worrying about our kids a lot more than we used to.
Kids in Brita ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in used to walk to school every day in the past, but now parents don’t let their children go out on their own in case something bad happens to them. If children stay indoors all the time, they will become weak.
The danger of le ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tting your kids go out by themselves is smaller than you might think. If parents want their kids to grow up healthily, they shouldn’t protect them so much. Children need to make decisions themselves.
Over 27% of Briti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sh children are now overweight, partly because they spend too much of their free time playing computer games and watching TV. But if kids never go outside, they can’t learn to look after themselves in the real world.
So far, we can lea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rn that if you want happy and healthy kids, give them back their freedom.

The 4 elements of music
Everyone loves music, but have you ever thought about what makes a piece of music There are four main elements (元素) in any piece of music: melody, harmony, rhythm and dynamics. Let’s take a ___61____ look at these four elements.
Melody: This is the tune (曲调) which we hear when we listen to a piece of music. The melody is made up of single tones (音调), or pitches, played one after the other. When we _____62____ the tone or pitch of a sound, we mean how high or low it is.
Harmony: This is _____63____ different notes and chords (和弦) sound when they are played at the same time.

Dynamics: These tell the musicians how to play a piece of music. They show when the music _____65____be quiet and when it should be loud.
When a composer (作曲家) writes a piece of music, he thinks about these four elements and puts them all together to make what we know _____66____ as a ‘song’.
Fashion Focus: Cosplay
What is cosplay and why is it so popular Silvia Oliveira reports from Tokyo.
It’s Sunday afternoon, a___67___ I’m in a cafe in the Harajuku district in Tokyo. Harajuku is a popular meeting place for cosplayers— people who wear unusual, sometimes wild, costumes. As I am typing these words, two young women walk by. They’re wearing black clothes. They have long blue hair and white face makeup. People stop and s____68_____ at them Welcome to the world of cosplay.
Cosplay (from the English words ‘coustume’ and ‘play’) is all a___69___ fashion and fun. Here in Japan, teenagers and people in their early twenties dress up as their favourite anime (成人动画), manga (comic book), or video-game character. These days, many cosplayers also dress like characters from movies or like their favourite musicians.
Cosplayers often meet to share their costumes and take photos. S___70___ they gather in certain areas of a city (like Harajuku) or at special parties. Some also go to anime or manga conventions (会议) dressed as their character.
