There are many wetlands(湿地) in China and some of them have become the world’s important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng ，Jiangsu Province. They are home of many different kinds of birds and animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve(自然保护区) is in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there.

The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine ，too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands.

Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.

―Fire! Fire!‖ What terrible words to hear when one wakes up in a strange house in the middle of the night! It was a large, old, wooden house and my room was on the top floor. I jumped out of bed, opened the door and stepped outside the house. There was full of thick smoke.

I began to run, but as I was still only half-awake, instead of going towards the stairs I went in the opposite direction. The smoke grew thicker and I could see fire all around. The floor became hot under my bare feet. I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window. But before I could reach it, one of my feet caught in something soft and I fell down. The thing I had fallen over felt like a bundle of clothes, and I picked it up to protect my face from the smoke and heat. Just then the floor gave way under me and I crashed to the floor below with pieces of burning wood all around me.

I saw a doorway in fire, then I put the bundle over my face and ran. My feet burned me terrible, but I got through. As I reached the cold air outside, my bundle of clothes gave a thin cry, I nearly dropped it in my surprise. Then I was in a crowd gathered in the street. A woman in a night-dress and a borrowed man’s coat screamed as she saw me and came running madly.

She was the Mayor’s wife, and I had saved her baby.

67. When the fire arose in the middle of the night, the author was _______.

A. at home

B. sleeping

C. sitting in bed

D. both A and B

68. The author saved the baby _____.

A.because he was very brave.

B. because he liked the baby very much.

My elder brother Steve, in the absence of my father who died when I was six, gave me important lessons in values that helped me grow into an adult.

For instance, Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who took the time to ask me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had soared through Mrs. Holt’s basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to confess（承认）to her. After all, I should have been playing in the park down Fifth Street and not in the path between buildings. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window from my pocket money if she would return

my ball. I also learned from Steve that personal property is a sacred（神圣的）thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else in spite of the fact that it had little value. He reminded me of how much I’d hate to lose to someone else the small dog that my father carved from a piece of cheap wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids, and still remembered the smell of her perfume as she patted me on my shoulder.

Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve, I killed an old brown sparrow in the yard with a BB gun. Excited with my accuracy, I screamed to Steve to come from the house to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, ―Did it hurt you first, Mark?‖ I didn’t know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, ―The only time you should even think of hurting a living thing is if it hurts you first. And then you think a long, long time.‖ I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.

71. What is the main subject of the passage?

A. The relationship between Mark and Steve.

B. The important lesson Mark learned in school

C. Steve’s important role in mark’s growing process.

D. Mark and Steve’s respect for living things.

72. It can be inferred from the passage that when Mark confessed to Mrs. Holt, __________.

A. he felt surprised

B. he was light-hearted

C. he felt frightened

D. he knelt before her

73. In the story about the pen, which of the following lessons did Steve teach his brother?

A. Respect for personal property.

B. Respect for life.

C. Sympathy for people with problems.

D. The value of honesty.

74. According to the writer, which was the most important lesson Steve taught his young brother?

A. Respect for living things.

B. Responsibility for one’s actions.

C. The value of the honesty.

D. Care for the property of others.

75. Which of the follow is true according to the passage?

A. Mark was still a boy when he wrote this passage.

B. Mark lost the small dog his father carved somewhere.

C. When a living thing hurts you, you should kill it.

D. Even if a living thing hurts you, you should not kill it without hesitation.

第Ⅱ卷(表达题35分）

第四部分写作

第一节：任务型读写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)

注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填1个单词。

Are you tired of the same old schedule on Mother’s Day? Well, here are some new ideas to help you enjoy that special day with your mother.

While it seems almost a tradition to take your mother out for dinner on Mother’s Day, perhaps this year you could try something else. You could invite her to a restaurant before or after the actual day. This way you don’t have to fight the crowds, and the prices will be lower.

Take your mother out for a picnic lunch if the weather is nice. You and she can enjoy the cool breeze under the shade of a tree while having a nice meal that you have made for her. Be sure to pack some of her favorite foods.

Another idea would be to invite your mother to go bowling(打保龄球). Even if she has never bowled in her life, trying something new is always interesting.

You could treat her to a movie she is dying to see, and make sure you buy her all the popcorn and candies she can eat. If you are a male, the chances are you w on’t like the movie she wants to see, so instead you could go to the mall and get your picture taken with your mother, which she can proudly display in her house.

Take her to a spa on Mother’s Day. She has been working so hard and needs a way to release her stress.

If she doesn’t want to go to a spa, buy her special soaps and oils so she can relax herself in her own tub. There are various types of soaps and oils with delicious flavors available. You could also buy her some scented (芬芳的) candles that she could light by her tub to make the atmosphere peaceful.

No matter what you choose, make sure you do something special for the woman who took care of you for so long.

书面表达参考答案

Dear Editor，

I’m writing to call on more people to save in our daily life.

As we all know, the natural r esources are limited. We don’t have enough water, oil or forest in many places. At the same time, some people are wasting a lot, which leads to the environment’s getting worse. What is worse, air and water pollution is becoming more and more serious.

As a middle school student, we should take an active part in creating a society that saves. In my opinion, we students should do something to stop wasting. We can save food, water, and paper, electricity, etc, in our daily. Meanwhile, we should take buses instead of cars, refuse to use chopsticks which are only used once and don’t use plastic bags.

I hope everyone can make a slight change and it will make a big difference to our world.

Yours,

Li Hua
