第 5页·共 12 页
①Once you learn to read, you will be forever free. That’s probably why so many people are so into
reading. In recent years, people have started a new trend of reading books in China.
②According to one report on Chinese people’s reading habits last year, around 32.7 percent of Chinese
adults have the habit of listening to audio books (有声书). So, just like having parents read bedtime stories to
us when we were little, we are now reading by listening.
③Some think this is good—people can finally put the books down when they read. They can finally
get away from tables and chairs and read in a fun way. It’s great, it’s appealing, and it’s very cool.
④ “I think it’s entertaining—my kid can now learn in a fun way,” a young parent said. “I don’t have to
worry about him having back problems like I did when I was a kid. And listening to audio books also takes
some pressure (压力) off his eyes. So I’m all for it.”
⑤But there are quite a number of people who hold a different opinion. They say this could work with
adults, but it might be a bad idea for teenagers.
⑥“People need self-control when listening to audio books, and we don’t see it in teenagers,” they said.
“How can we know that whatever it says in a book can get into their heads and stay there How do we make
sure they are learning something when they listen ”
⑦“We have been reading books in the old-fashioned way for thousands of years,” an elderly scholar
said. “Why not start listening for a change ”
( )49．According to the young parent, which of the following statements can be TRUE
A．Listening to audio books helps protect children’s eyes.
B．Parents don’t have to worry about their children’s self-control.
C．You will be forever free from health problems if you listen to audio books.
D．Audio books make sure everything in a book can get into children’s heads and stay there.
( )50．Which of the following is the best way to divide the passage
A．①②③/④⑤⑥/⑦ B．①②③/④⑤/⑥⑦
C．①/②③/④⑤⑥/⑦ D．①②/③④/⑤⑥/⑦
( )51．Which is most probably the elderly scholar’s opinion about ways of reading
A．Teenagers may not have self-control when listening to audio books.
B．Maybe now it is the time to change our ways of reading by trying audio books.
C．Parents need to make sure that teenagers are learning something whey they listen.
D．The old way of reading books has been proved to be the best since thousands of years ago.
( )52．Which is the best title of the passage
A．“Listening to Books” Becomes Popular B．“Listening to Books” And Self-Control
C．Disadvantages of “Listening to Books” D．Advantages of “Listening to Books”
C

simple.Thinking maps have been proved to be a useful tool for students and teachers at all grades.
Thinking maps make meaningful learning possible as they help organize ideas and information in a way
that is easy to understand.They can be very useful during creative thinking exercises.Here are four types of
thinking maps and ways to use them.

parts of a car.It shouldn't be used for something abstract（抽象的）like an idea
which cannot be easily separated.

understanding of a topic.It's a great tool for both personal and group
brainstorming activities.People can write down a topic in the central
circle.Around the topic are facts or ideas.Inside the square are ways to collect
more information.

information in a proper order，list steps of an event and find patterns （模式）.

Have you ever dreamed of traveling in space？For many kids，staring at the stars leads to daydreams
about what it would be like to be an astronaut.Just think about how amazing it would be to set foot on the
moon or another planet！
Although it sounds like it would be great fun to travel to outer space，it would be a lot of work，
too.Traveling to outer space needs lots and lots of preparation.
Once you are in space，nothing can come on board the ship and nothing can go out.You must take all
you need into outer space to keep yourself alive.Let's call these things "inputs"，including food，water and
oxygen.Every input creates an output.If you open a box of cookies for breakfast，what will you do with the
box when it's empty？Every piece of rubbish you create in space will remain on the ship with you.Your body
will also output food and water.Since nothing can leave the spaceship，you will have to think of another way
to deal with these bodily wastes.
Even breathing creates an output carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）！It's true that plants depend on carbon
dioxide in the same way humans depend on oxygen to breathe.However，plants have other input needs.If you
take a banana tree with you，you will need to bring enough water to keep it alive.You must also consider
another type of output rubbish in the ship after taking the fruit as snacks﹣the banana peel.
See how carefully you have to plan for a trip to outer space？How can you plan your actions on earth to
have the least influence on the environment and your future？Not only do you have to think about all the
things you'll need，you will also have to consider the influence of those things because of the wastes they
may create.
( )56.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs？
A．It's challenging to travel in space. B．It's boring to live on the moon.
C．It's relaxing to stare at the stars. D．It's difficult to be an astronaut.
( )57.What do we know about the input in space？
A．It will make astronauts sleepy. B．It only means things to eat and drink.
C．It is quite important to astronauts. D．It can help astronauts deal with rubbish.
( )58.Which of the following is an "output" according to paragraph 3？
A．some cookies B．food and water C．your oxygen mask D．the empty cookie
box
( )59.What does the 4th paragraph mainly talk about？
A．The reason why breathing creates an output.
B．A way to plant a banana tree in space successfully.
C．The reason why plants depend on carbon dioxide.
D．A way to deal with carbon dioxide in the spaceship.
( )60.What can be the best title for the passage？
A．How to prepare for a trip to outer space
B．How to deal with wastes in the spaceship
C．Differences between inputs and outputs
D．Different ways to deal with wastes in space

computers to enjoy themselves. 61 . Let’s take a look.

are two ways to play. One way is covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to tease him. 62 .
Flying kites
Kites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood, instead of paper. Nowadays, the
three most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite and Weifang kite. Each of them has special features.
63
Kicking stone balls
During the Qing Dynasty, kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China,
and it was often played in winter to keep warm.
64
The closest thing to watching a film or television for entertainment during ancient times was going to
see a shadow play. Folk artists manipulate puppets behind the screen, narrating stories and accompanied by
music.
Setting off fireworks
Fireworks have a history of more than 2, 000 years. It is said that there was a beast (兽) named Nian in
ancient China 65 . After gunpowder was invented, it gradually replaced the bamboo joints. Fireworks
are still set off during Chinese Spring Festival.

In a little fishing village in Southern Thailand，there are some boys who like to play football.They play
with a lot of excitement and interest，running，shouting，jumping and kicking.These boys are really good
at controlling the ball because their football field is a raf（t 木筏）in the middle of the sea.They live on Koh
Panyee Island，where all the houses are built on tall wooden sticks.The village has 300 families，but even
though it is small，the football team from the village has been very successful.The Panyee Football Club
has won the Thai Youth Football Championships seven times since 2004.
The story of the Panyee Football Club began in 1986 when some young boys from the village were
watching the World Cup Football Championships on TV.Suddenly one of the boys said，"We watch football
on TV，but we've never played it."The boys made a decision. "Our football team starts today.We want to
become world champions!"They shouted.But the villagers laughed at them.They asked， "Are you crazy？
Have you ever played football before？You've already formed a team，but have you found a football field
yet？How can you practise？"

wood to make a floating（漂浮的） football field.They practised for hours every day，even when it was
very wet and smooth after a heavy rain.In their first year，they made it to the semifinals(半决赛) of the
local football competition.
The story reminds us that anything is possible only if we set our mind to chase our dreams.The boys
never gave up their dream，even when they faced many difficulties.Their hard work paid off，and they
became champions.

My Changes
In the past，I often spent a lot of time playing computer games. I didn’t like reading at all.
What’s more, I didn’t know what kind of books to read, either.
But now I have changed a lot. I love travelling . I have been to many places of interest，
such as Hong Kong Disneyland and Sydney Opera House. I also like reading. I think reading is
an important part of my life. So I spend more than seven hours a week reading different types
of books. I am interested in history books, but I like novels best.
I hope more and more students love travelling and reading. Travelling can help us
understand the world and enjoy the beauty of nature. And Reading can not only make us get
knowledge but also open up a new world to us. Good books are good friends.
