2.无错误
3.hardly改为hard
4.planted前加were
5.it改为them
6.But改为So
7.water改为 watering。
8.feel改为felt
【解析】
试题分析:这篇短文讲述昨天班级集体去植树。男生负责挖坑,女生负责种植。最后一起浇水,这一天虽累但是很充实。每个人都很开心。
1.句意:男孩负责挖坑。make变为被动语态时,要还原不定式符号to。故在made后加to。
2.句意:女孩负责将树苗放进坑里。此行无错误。
3.句意:我们所有人都非常努力工作。hardly是副词“几乎不”,hard“努力地”。
4.句意:在所有树苗都被栽好以后。the young trees和plant 是被动关系,因此要用被动语态。故在planted前加 were。
5.句意:我们开始给它们浇水。很多树苗,因此要用them,不能用 it。
6.句意:水在山脚下。因此我们排成队传一个挨着一个的将水桶传到山上。不是转折关系,是因果关系。因为树在脚下,所以排成队传递桶。故But改为So。
7.句意:直到天黑我们才完成浇水。finish doing sth“完成做某事”,故将water改为watering。
8.句意:尽管我们很累但是我们都感觉很开心。本文叙述的是过去的事情,因此把feel改为felt。

A smile is the most beautiful language of human beings. A smile shows you are kind and friendly. It helps you get on well with others. It also brings good luck and makes others feel warm.
When I was in Grade 6, a new student came to our class. He did badly in schoolwork. No one talked with him. He felt very lonely. When I learnt this, each time I met him, I gave him a big smile. Afterwards, he often asked me questions about study. We became good friends and he did better and better in his study. He said it was my smile that made him more confident and outgoing.
Smiles are so important to our life, so let's try to smile more. If we smile to life, life will smile back to us.

一、阅读理解。
Next time you’re unhappy or complaining about your life, don’t turn to a cheerful comedy. You might find a tear-jerking tragedy(催人泪下的悲剧) is just the thing you need to brighten your day.
??? A team of researchers at Ohio State University, US, has found sad movies can make people happier, Science Daily reported last month.
??? Many people find tragedies make them realize how good their own lives are, the study showed.
??? “People seem to use tragedies as a way to reflect on the important relationships in their own lives,” said Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, leader of the study. “Tragic stories often focus on themes of eternal(永恒的) love, and this leads viewers to think about their loved ones and count their good and helpful things.”
??? In the study, researchers gathered 361 college students and showed them the 2007 movie, Atonement. The movie is about two lovers who are separated(分离) and finally die during World War II. Before and after the movie, the students were asked questions measuring(衡量) how happy they were with their lives. Researchers also asked them before, after and three times during the movie to measure various emotions, including sadness.
??? Researchers found that the sadder students felt while watching the movie, the more likely they were to think about real people they had close relationships with in life. This increased their happiness after watching the movie.
??? Knobloch-Westerwick explained that negative(消极的) moods make people more thoughtful.
??? “Positive(积极的) emotions show that everything is fine, you don’t have to worry, you don’t have to think about problems in your life,” she said. “But negative emotions, like sadness, make you think more critically about your situation. So seeing a tragic movie may make you sad, but that will make you to think more about your own close relationships and appreciate them more.”
??? The link between watching a tragic story and feeling better has long been recognized. The ancient Greeks even had a word for the feeling of happiness after seeing something sad that led to the modern English word “catharsis (宣泄)”.
??? The study also showed that relationships are a very important source of happiness in our lives, so it is no surprise that thinking about your loved ones makes you happier, researchers said.
1. Which of the following about the study of Ohio State University is NOT true?
?? A. Only sadness is measured in the study.
?? B. Students’ emotions are measured by asking questions.
C. The study shows relationships are a source of happiness.
D. Those who felt sadder when watching the movie were more likely to be happier after that.
2. Why are ancient Greeks mentioned in the passage?
A. To introduce the meaning of the word “Catharsis”.
B. To explain the importance of knowing how to become happier.
C. To prove that they were of high intelligence and guessed its meaning.
D. To tell readers the relationship between tragedies and happiness was found long ago.
3. From Knobloch-Westerwick’s explanation, we can learn that?????? .
?? A. seeing tragedies makes you more thoughtful
B. positive emotions make you think more about your relationships
C. negative emotions show you have no need to think about your situation
D. after seeing comedies, you will appreciate your close relationships more
4. Which is the title of the passage?
?? A. Watching sad films may start smiles??????????????? B. There is eternal love in the world
?? C. It’s useless to complain about life????????? ???? D. Comedies should make way for tragedies

Eating habits change from one country to another. The Chinese have a saying: Eat good things for breakfast; eat a big meal for lunch until you are full; but eat less at dinner. Many Americans agree that one should start the day with a good breakfast, but their ideas about lunch and dinner are different.
Lunch time is very quick in the United States. Most Americans only give themselves time for a quick lunch before they go back to work or school. So they eat a small lunch. After work they think they will have more time to eat a big dinner. Also a quiet dinner at home with all the family talking about their day is a way to take a good rest after a long, hard day of work.
Eating at a restaurant is also different. In China, people like to talk and laugh when they are eating. Very often you can hear people talking or singing loudly and they are just having a good time. In America, it is not like this. They want a quiet place where they can eat a good meal far away from the sounds of the outside world. If someone is talking too loudly, other people in the restaurant will look at him or her angrily, then the manager might come out and ask them to be quiet. The manager may even ask them to leave the restaurant.
1. What do Chinese and Americans have in common about meals?
_______________________________________________________
2. How is the Americans' lunch?
_______________________________________________________
3. What do Americans do while having a dinner?
_______________________________________________________
4. Where do Americans usually like to eat a meal?

5. Is talking not allowed in the restaurant in America while having a dinner?

【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文。介绍的是中国和美国两个国家吃饭的习俗。在中国讲究早餐吃好,午餐吃饱,晚餐吃少;而在美国早餐吃好,午餐他们吃得很快,晚餐才是一天的正餐,很丰盛。中国人在饭店吃饭时,喜欢在餐桌上又说又笑,但是在美国,去饭店吃饭时,他们喜欢安静的地方。
1. Starting the day with a good breakfast.【解析】细节理解题。题干意为:中美两国人在吃饭方面有什么共同点?根据文章第一段“The Chinese have a saying: Eat good things for breakfast... Americans agree that one should start the day with a good breakfast...”可知中美两国人都认为早餐要吃好,但在午餐和晚餐上,两国人的观点不同。
2. Quick and small.【解析】细节理解题。题干意为:美国人的午餐怎么样?根据文章第二段第二、三句“Most Americans only give themselves time for a quick lunch before they go back to work or school. So they eat a small lunch.”可知答案。
3. Talk about their day.【解析】细节理解题。题干意为:吃晚饭时美国人都做什么?根据第二段最后一句“Also a quiet dinner at home with all the family talking about their day is a way to take a good rest after a long, hard day of work.”可知答案。
4. In a quiet place(far away from the sounds of the outside world).【解析】细节理解题。题干意为:美国人通常喜欢在哪儿吃一顿饭?根据文章第三段第五句“They want a quiet place where they can eat a good meal far away from the sounds of the outside world.”可知答案。
5. No, it isn’t.【解析】细节理解题。题干意为:在美国餐厅吃饭时,说话是不被允许的吗?根据文章第三段尤其是最后两句“If someone is talking too loudly, other people in the restaurant will look at him or her angrily, then the manager might come out and ask them to be quiet. The manager may even ask them to leave the restaurant.”可知大声说话是不被允许的,但是说话还是可以的。

Dear David,
How's it going?The summer vacation is coming. I'm very happy that I will see you soon.
We'll visit many places of interests in China with my parents. First we'll go to see the Great Wall, the Summer Palace and the Bird Nest in Beijing. Then we'll go to some cities in the south such as Shanghai, Hangzhou and Suzhou because there are beautiful places in those cities. After that we'll go to enjoy the sea for about three days in Hainan. I know you like swimming a lot and we can do that while we are there. Finally you will stay in our home for two days before you go back to America. And of course wherever we go, we are sure to enjoy the culture and delicious food in the local places.
I'm sure we will have a great time together!
Yours,

阅读下列短文,根据短文内容选择最佳答案。
How quickly can you count from one to ten? Do you use ten different words to do it? Can you do it in English, or do you have to use your first languages? Do you count on your fingers? Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true.
People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people begin counting with their first fingers, which they extend or stick out. They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb (拇指) to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.
Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and others have no words for numbers. A group of scientists studied aboriginal (土著的)people in Australia. These people don’t have hand movements to stand for numbers. They don’t even have word for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.
In a similar study, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Piraha tribe (部落) in northwestern Brazil don’t have words for numbers such as “one” or “three”. They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say “some trees”, “more trees”, or “many trees”. Professor Edward Gibson said that most people believe that everyone knows how to count, “but here is a group that does not count. They could learn, but isn’t not useful in their culture, so they’ve never picked it up.”
Although all humans are able to understand quantities (数量), not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting. Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math, too.
( )1. The writer begins with the four questions in order to______.
A. make a survey B. interest readers C. tell a story D. solve math problems

一、阅读理解。
Spending two or three hours playing outdoors each day can reduce the chance of becoming short-sighted, a research shows. It challenges the belief(信念) that short-sightedness is caused by computer use, watching TV or reading in weak light.
The Australian government researchers believe that the sunlight is good for people’s eyes. They compared the vision(视力) and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia. In all, 30% of the Singaporean children were short-sighted—this rate(比率) was ten times higher than Australian children.
Both groups spend a similar amount(数量) of time reading, watching television and playing computer games. However the Singaporean children spent an average (平均) of only half an hour a day outdoors—90 minutes less than the Australian children.
Professor Ian Morgan, from the Australian Research Council’s vision Centre, said, “Humans are naturally long-sighted, but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors, the number of short-sighted people gets larger. We’re also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around the world and the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors.
Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light. But why does playing outside? prevent us from becoming short-sighted? Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical(化学物质) which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people from becoming short-sighted.
So be outdoors. It doesn’t matter if that time is spent having a picnic or having sports.
1. ?? How much time did the Australian children spend outdoors on average according to the ??????? research?
A. 30 minutes.? B. 60 minutes.??? C. 90 minutes.?? D. 120 minutes.
2. ?? Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. If people spend less time outdoors they will certainly become short-sighted.
B. There are fewer short-sighted Singaporean Children than Australian children because
?? they have more knowledge of protecting their eyesight.
C. There will be fewer risks of getting short-sighted if people spend two or three hours a ??????????? ???day playing outside.
D. When people begin to go to school they will become long-sighted.
3. ?? What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?
A. Why natural daylight has a special chemical.
B. Why daylight prevents people from becoming short-sighted.
C. Why daylight is much brighter than indoor light.
D. What the special chemical which can stop eyeballs from growing out of shape is.

2. 文中不能出现真实姓名、校名等信息;

Getting along well with others
No one can live without keeping in with others. Therefore, it's important for us to learn how to get along well with all kinds of people.
First of all, we should be friendly to our friends. They are our good partners who share joy and sadness with us. Besides, we'd better be ready to help others. For example, if we always help our neighbours do some volunteer work, they will become our good friends. What's more, we must communicate with others so that we can understand each other better. For instance, if we often talk to our parents, they will know we love them deeply. Last but not least, we are supposed to respect others, especially our teachers and the old.
All in all, only in these ways can we get along well with others.

一、阅读理解。
阅读下列短文,根据短文内容选择最佳答案。
“Class, this is John Evans,” Mrs. Parmele introduced him to us, trying to give him a warm welcome. We saw a boy in old clothes. John looked around and smiled, hoping somebody would smile back. Nobody did. He kept on smiling anyway.
I held my breath, hoping Mrs. Parmele wouldn’t notice the empty desk next to mine. She did, and pointed him in that direction. He looked over at me as he sat down, but I looked away.
By the end of his first week, John was at the bottom of our class’s stair. I told my mother one evening at dinner. “He hardly even knows how to count.”
As I ate lunch with him the next day and listened to him, however, I realized that it is pleasant to be with him. After lunch, I decided that I would be John’s friend.
One night, as Mother came into my bedroom, I said, “Mom, tomorrow is John’s birthday, and he’s not going to get anything. Nobody even cares.”
“Don’t worry,” Mom said as she kissed me goodnight. “I’m sure everything will be fine.”
I wished John a happy birthday in the morning, and his smile showed me that he was glad I had remembered.
By mid-afternoon I had almost decided that birthdays weren’t that important. Then, as Mrs. Parmele was writing on the blackboard, I heard a familiar (熟悉的) voice singing the birthday song.
Moments later, Mother came through the door with a tray (托盘) of cakes. She was also taking a present in her hand.
Mrs. Parmele joined in. Mother found John looking like a rabbit in car headlights. She put the cakes and the gift on his desk and said, “Happy birthday, John.”
John kindly shared his cakes with the class, taking the tray from desk to desk.
John Evans moved away soon, and I never heard from him again. But I always remember the happiness in a boy’s eyes, and the taste of the sweetest cake.

How to Be a Better Student
Maybe you are a common student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how:
Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First set your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.
Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don’t be over worr
ied.
There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover them after you have tried these.?
1.The writer gives you ______ methods to help you in the passage.
A.??? Four.???????? B. Five.?????????? C. Six.????????? D. Seven.?
2.What should you do if you want to plan your time????

C.? Take advantage of class time.?????? D. Review the important points.
3. How can we remember what the teacher says?
?? A. By taking notes in class.???????? B. By concentrating on the subject.
?? C. By listening to everything.?????? D. By discussing with your classmates.
4. What is the purpose of a test according to the writer?
?? A. To help you solve some problems.
?? B. To make us become better students.

【解析】【分析】本文讲述了年轻人在和父母待在一起时会感到不舒服,他们以为父母对他们要求严格,不理解他们,父母也认为获得孩子们的信任也很困难的代沟问题。面对这个问题,作者从几个角度给出了建议,比如,年轻人应该在做事之前多请教一下将会拥有更多成功,如果年轻人计划做一些事情,最好先让父母理解自己,搞好沟通,父母一定会支持年轻人的行为的。(1)句意:他们经常认为他们的父母对他们要求很严格。根据句意,结合固定搭配:be strict with,对某人要求严格。故答案为:B.(2)句意:父母也认为获得孩子们的信任也很困难,他们似乎忘记了当他们小时候自己的亲身感受。根据固定句型:find it difficult to do sth.发现做某事是困难的。故答案为:A.(3)父母也认为获得孩子们的信任也很困难,他们似乎忘记了当他们小时候自己的亲身感受。根据并列句中谓语动词的时态一致原则,结合often为一般现在时态的标志,可知此处forget为一般现在时态。故答案为:C.(4)句意:例如,年轻人喜欢不经过太多思考的做事。根据句意,结合下文建议:you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it.建议年轻人应该在做事之前多请教一下将会拥有更多成功,可知年轻人做事欠缺思考。故答案为:A.(5)句意:向别人展示他们已经长大,并且可以解决任何难题是他们的方式之一。根据固定搭配:solve the problems,解决问题。故答案为:C.(6)句意:所以,当你想要让父母让你做一些事情时,如果你征询一下他们的意见,你将会拥有更多的成功。根据句意,结合不定代词的使用方法:肯定句中使用something,anything使用在否定句和疑问句中。故答案为:C.(7)句意:年轻人很容易因为他们穿的衣服,喜欢的音乐和一些别的事情而惹恼他们的父母。根据固定搭配:something else,else 是个副词,与不定代词或副词(以-one,-body,-thing,-where结尾的词)连用,表示“另外”、“其它”的意思,用于这些词后面。故答案为:A.(8)句意:他们只是觉得,以这种方式,他们可以和老人们的世界切断开来,他们要创造自己的新的文化. 根据句意,结合固定短语:in this way,通过这种方式,使用这种方法。故答案为:C.(9)句意:有时他们根本不想和父母一起出去,只是想独自待在家里,做自己喜欢的事情。根据句意,结合上下文,既然不喜欢和父母出去,那么在家里应该是独自一人。故答案为:B.(10)句意:如果那样,你父母一定会让你做你自己喜欢的事情的。根据句意,结合语境,可知作者建议年轻人应该和父母真诚相对,把自己的想法告诉父母,这是和父母建立良好沟通关系的方法。故答案为:C.
【点评】it做形式宾语是教学重点,也是学习难点,需要加强语法专练,在使用中习得语言。完形填空属于一套试卷中难度较大的题型,既考查阅读,词汇,短语,又考查语法和上下文,需要注意积累词汇短语和对词汇灵敏的反应速度。同时,完形填空中上下文是一个亦难亦易的题目,需要耐心阅读文章,捕捉到字里行间的潜藏信息,就会柳暗花明。例如第9题需要注意推理,第7题else需要放在疑问词和不定代词后面。
四、任务型阅读。
Are you the only child in the family? If so, you are the most important in your family. Parents are the closest people to you in the world.
But a lot of middle school students have a problem. They feel they’re not as close to their parents as before. They even don’t think parents are fair to them. Some students complain that their parents say a lot to them, but never listen to them. Some say their parents don’t allowed them to play computer games when other classmates are doing that. Others say when they’re making phone calls to friends, their parents like to ask if they’re speaking to a boy or a girl. These make them very unhappy. Some students even decide to leave home when they have done something wrong, especially when they do badly in exams, because they are afraid to tell their parents. Then they usually think running away is the only choice. But they don't know running away may bring them some more problems.
Problems are parts of life. Here is some advice for you to solve your problems.
◆Find a good chance to talk with your parents. Don't be afraid to tell them your feelings.
◆Get help from others like good friends or teachers.
◆Keep a diary to help you understand more about yourself and your feelings.
◆Show your parents you’re growing up. Then they’ll feel you're no longer a small child.
If you follow these suggestions, you'll have a happy life and never think of running away.
1. Who are the closest people to the only child?
2. Do all the middle students feel happy in their daily life?
3. What will some students do when they have done something wrong?
4. How many pieces of advice have you got from the article?
5. Which do you think is the best way if you have problems with your parents?
【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文。主要谈论了孩子和父母之间的问题。虽然孩子是家庭的重心,但是很多中学生感到自己并不幸福,经常和父母之间出现这样或者那样的问题,作者针对这些问题提出了一些建议。

五、书面表达。(2017,黔东南)
一直以来, 随着孩子不断长大, 很多父母与孩子之间的沟通变得越来越难, 交流更是令人头疼的问题。究其原因, 主要是父母的教育内容和管理方式跟不上孩子成长的需求, 甚至很老套。而孩子们由于本身年龄和认识的局限性, 缺乏主动和父母交流的想法和勇气。可在同学们的心里, 确实是有一肚子的话要和父母说的。假如你是李欣, 请根据内容要求给父母写一封信,文中不得出现真实的个人信息, 开头和结尾已给出(但不计入总词数),80词左右。
内容提示:
1. 告诉父母自己三年来的学习情况和收获;(study hard)
2. 和父母说说自己在成长过程中的一些心里话;(grow up)
3. 表达自己对父母的爱, 并告诉父母自己会继续努力学习, 不让他们担心, 做开心一家人。(worry about)
My dear mother and father,
I will graduate from school soon, and I'd like to talk about my life and studies in school to you. During the past three years, I think I studied hard, made some good friends and was really happy. But there was probably something wrong between us.
I know you love me so much, but I also know you may be not interested in some of my hobbies, such as playing basketball, playing the guitar and chatting with my friends. They really waste time, but they are parts of my life. So I hope you can encourage and support me to do some things I like. Now I have already grown up a lot. I will keep on studying hard to get good grades and achieve my dream. Besides, I hope you can spare your time to stay and chat with me, so we can get on better. I love you very much and I believe we will be a happy family forever.
Wish you all the best.
Yours,
Lixin

一、阅读理解。
阅读下列短文,根据短文内容选择最佳答案。
Spending two or three hours playing outdoors each day can reduce the chance of becoming short-sighted, a research shows. It challenges the belief(信念) that short-sightedness is caused by computer use, watching TV or reading in weak light.
The Australian government researchers believe that the sunlight is good for people’s eyes. They compared the vision(视力) and habits of 100 seven-year-old children in Singapore and Australia. In all, 30% of the Singaporean children were short-sighted—this rate(比率) was ten times higher than Australian children.
Both groups spend a similar amount(数量) of time reading, watching television and playing computer games. However the Singaporean children spent an average (平均) of only half an hour a day outdoors—90 minutes less than the Australian children.
Professor Ian Morgan, from the Australian Research Council’s vision Centre, said, “Humans are naturally long-sighted, but when people begin to go to school and spend little or no time outdoors, the number of short-sighted people gets larger. We’re also seeing more and more short-sighted children in cities all around the world and the main reason may be that city children spend less time outdoors.
Daylight can be hundreds of times brighter than indoor light. But why does playing outside prevent us from becoming short-sighted? Scientists believe that natural light has a special chemical(化学物质) which stops the eyeball from growing out of shape and prevents people from becoming short-sighted.
So be outdoors. It doesn’t matter if that time is spent having a picnic or having sports.
( )1. How much time did the Australian children spend outdoors on average according to the research?

C. There will be fewer risks of getting short-sighted if people spend two or three hours a

D. When people begin to go to school they will become long-sighted.
