二、阅读理解
A
Have you ever heard an echo of your voice
An echo is a reflected(反射)sound. Stand in a very large, empty hall with nothing on the walls. Then shout. The sounds you make will hit the walls and come back to you. The walls reflect the sounds. These reflected sounds are called “echoes”.
We can use reflected sound to make sound travel farther. Hold a watch about fifty centimeters from your ear. You cannot hear it. The sound of the watch travels a short way in all directions. It does not travel as far as your ear. You can make it travel to your ear by using a roll of cardboard(纸板筒).
Make the roll of cardboard about fifty centimeters long. Put one end over your ear and hold the watch at the other. Now you can hear the watch because the sound has not gone in all directions. It is reflected down the roll to your ear.
A megaphone(喇叭筒)works in the same way. It makes sound travel farther. It reflects the sound into a beam which can travel a long way. In the ship, the sailor uses the megaphone to make his voice travel. Without the megaphone, his voice cannot travel far.
We use reflected sound in many ways. We use it to measure the depth of the sea, for example. Among the animals, bats and whales use reflected sound to tell them where they are and what things are near them.
1.What is called “echo”
A. Very loud voices.
B. Very loud voices that are made by man.
C. Very loud voices that are made by animals.
D. The sound that is made by man or animals comes back from some place.
2. We can hear our echoes if we________ .
A. shout in a small room
B. shout in a large house full of things
C. shout in narrow valleys(山谷)
D. shout in the open air
3. Which is the right order of hearing our echo in a very large, empty hall
a. We hear the reflected sound b. The sound returns to us c. The sound hits the walls d. We make a sound
A. c, b, a, d
B. c, a, b, d
C. d, c, b, a
D. d, b, c, a
4. From the text we learn that __________.
A. reflected sound is useful only to blind people
B. people haven’t made use of reflected sound yet
C. bats use reflected sound to fly and get food
D. whales don’t use reflected sound as they live in the sea
5. If you haven’t got a megaphone, ____ will help you to make your voice travel farther.
A. a long piece of wood B. a roll of cardboard
C. a thin thread D. a long piece of silk
B
Prana was a beautiful dog, whose name means “breath of life”. Although he died several years ago, I can still remember the days we spent together and what he has taught me about love. I have two apple trees in the garden. Prana loved apples. When he went outside, he’d catch an apple and took it into the house to eat later. The apples had been on the ground and were often so dirty so I wasn’t always pleased that Prana had brought them into the house.
It was a late autumn day in America, but it was very cold. A big snow fell and we had not done anything for its coming. On that special day, Prana went outside and I watched him through the window. I noticed that he was madly digging holes and bringing the apples to the ground so they could be seen above the snow. I did not know why he was doing this. He seemed to do something unusual.
When I called him back, he had his usual one apple in his mouth. About 5 minutes later, I looked outside, the yard was completely covered with birds. Prana had dug up all those apples for his bird friends to eat. He knew that they wouldn’t have stored enough food for the coming winter.
6. I wasn’t always happy because _______________.
A. Prana loves apples
B. the apples fell on the ground and got dirty
C. Prana caught an apple and ate it
D. Prana brought the dirty apples in to house
7. On one snowy day, the dog_______________.

C. dug holes to put the apples in them
D. left the house and died
8. The bird flew to the garden to _____________.

9. The underlined word “stored” means_________.
A. bought B. got C. eaten D. dug
10. The topic of the story is about__________.
A. food B. animals C. love D. life
三、书面表达
我国是大熊猫生存的唯一之地， 然而他们正面临灭绝的危险。你认为我们该采取哪些措施来保护他们。写一篇70词左右的短文表达你的观点。
提示
处于困境 人们大量砍伐树木来建农田和盖房； 竹子越来越少；人们为皮毛二捕杀大熊猫

最后结果 大熊猫会越来越多
提示词： fur 皮毛 reserve 保护区 hunt 猎杀

二、阅读理解
A
Have you ever heard an echo of your voice
An echo is a reflected(反射)sound. Stand in a very large, empty hall with nothing on the walls. Then shout. The sounds you make will hit the walls and come back to you. The walls reflect the sounds. These reflected sounds are called “echoes”.
We can use reflected sound to make sound travel farther. Hold a watch about fifty centimeters from your ear. You cannot hear it. The sound of the watch travels a short way in all directions. It does not travel as far as your ear. You can make it travel to your ear by using a roll of cardboard(纸板筒).
Make the roll of cardboard about fifty centimeters long. Put one end over your ear and hold the watch at the other. Now you can hear the watch because the sound has not gone in all directions. It is reflected down the roll to your ear.
A megaphone(喇叭筒)works in the same way. It makes sound travel farther. It reflects the sound into a beam which can travel a long way. In the ship, the sailor uses the megaphone to make his voice travel. Without the megaphone, his voice cannot travel far.
We use reflected sound in many ways. We use it to measure the depth of the sea, for example. Among the animals, bats and whales use reflected sound to tell them where they are and what things are near them.
1.What is called “echo”
A. Very loud voices.
B. Very loud voices that are made by man.
C. Very loud voices that are made by animals.
D. The sound that is made by man or animals comes back from some place.
2. We can hear our echoes if we________ .
A. shout in a small room
B. shout in a large house full of things
C. shout in narrow valleys(山谷)
D. shout in the open air
3. Which is the right order of hearing our echo in a very large, empty hall
a. We hear the reflected sound b. The sound returns to us c. The sound hits the walls d. We make a sound
A. c, b, a, d
B. c, a, b, d
C. d, c, b, a
D. d, b, c, a
4. From the text we learn that __________.
A. reflected sound is useful only to blind people
B. people haven’t made use of reflected sound yet
C. bats use reflected sound to fly and get food
D. whales don’t use reflected sound as they live in the sea
5. If you haven’t got a megaphone, ____ will help you to make your voice travel farther.
A. a long piece of wood B. a roll of cardboard
C. a thin thread D. a long piece of silk
B
Prana was a beautiful dog, whose name means “breath of life”. Although he died several years ago, I can still remember the days we spent together and what he has taught me about love. I have two apple trees in the garden. Prana loved apples. When he went outside, he’d catch an apple and took it into the house to eat later. The apples had been on the ground and were often so dirty so I wasn’t always pleased that Prana had brought them into the house.
It was a late autumn day in America, but it was very cold. A big snow fell and we had not done anything for its coming. On that special day, Prana went outside and I watched him through the window. I noticed that he was madly digging holes and bringing the apples to the ground so they could be seen above the snow. I did not know why he was doing this. He seemed to do something unusual.
When I called him back, he had his usual one apple in his mouth. About 5 minutes later, I looked outside, the yard was completely covered with birds. Prana had dug up all those apples for his bird friends to eat. He knew that they wouldn’t have stored enough food for the coming winter.
