I find there are some differences between schools in the US and in Vietnam.One big difference is the clothes students wear at school and how they look. In my country, all the stude nts should wear uniforms when they go to school. Boys aren’t allowed to have long hair. Girls aren’t allowed to have long or coloured nails (指甲).Another difference is about the rules for parents. In Vietnam, when we begin a new year, our parents have to g o to a meeting in our class. If they don’t go to that meeting, their children won’t have a grade or a report card from school.However, in the US, there aren’t such strict rules above.In Vietnam, a class is only 45 minutes and we have only five classes each weekday. When the bell rings, the students just sit in their own classroom. They can’t move to a different one, but students can in the US.In Vietnam, students can’t go to work because they can’t find a job if they’re under 18. But in the US, many students work after school. This helps them make money. More importantly, this helps them become more independent. They’re able to do things by themselves in their own way, without asking other people for help.( )41. Which country is the writer’s motherland (祖国)?A. America.B. The UK.C. China.D. Vietnam.( )42. What are the girl students allowed to do in the writer’s country?A. To have long nailsB. To colour their nails.C. To grow their hair long.D. To wear their own clothes.( )43. What does the underlined word “independent” mean in Chinese?A. 勇敢的B. 独立的C. 依赖的D. 不礼貌的( )44.

One student quickly answered，"About two hours．" The answer is true．For most of us，we begin to feel hungry in a few hours after each meal．We can't imagine starting our day by waking up hungry，going all day without food and going to bed with even greater hunger．The statistics （数据）on hunger in the United States are much surprising to all of us．According to Feeding America，"50，000，000Americans don't know where their next meal is coming from．That's the number in one of the wealthiest nations on the planet．And one in four of these 50，000，000people are children．"No Kid Hungry surveyed more than 1，000teachers and principals around the country and found that 73percent of teachers said they regularly teach hungry students who don't have enough food to eat at home，and 87percent of principals said they often see hungry students in school．As a result of so many hungry students，teachers spend nearly $40a month buying food for kids with their own money．This is the time of the year when children do not have the benefit （好处）of school lunch programs．Here are some ways we can do to help change this situation：First，we can give money to the local food bank．Next，we can donate food in our local area．Third，we can volunteer our time at a local food bank．So，on our next visit to the grocery store，add an extra food idem that can be donated to a food bank．Don't wait to make a difference in a child's life．28．Which of the following is true？A．Many Americans don't have enough food to eat．B．Most children in the US don't want to eat breakfast．C．American children are in hunger right now．D．American schools don't provide free breakfast．29．The writer's purpose of writing this text is to．A．show the importance of school lunch programsB．ask us to make some changes for children's foodC．ask us to buy some more food when shopping next timeD．ask us to do something for students' lunch programs30．（8分）It truly makes my day when I receive emails from the readers wanting to share their beautiful wedding stories with us．The moment I saw the pictures of Rhona and Justin，I knew they were a very special couple．Their love for one another is so moving and I'm so excited to share their beautiful wedding stories．This is Rhona's sweet email．Enjoy!Hi，Janie，I hope this email finds you well．I don't really know how couples share their wedding stories with you，but I decide to email you．I really feel so lucky to have had a photographer and videographer for our wedding in Detroit，Michigan and I want to share it with you．Both of them truly captured （捕捉）everything I felt and the beauty I saw on our wedding day．It was truly the best day of my life．Our family and friends came from around the country to congratulate us．We had our wedding in Detroit because my husband was finishing medical school at the University of Michigan．We wanted to find a way to prevent our families fromtravelling too far within a short amount of time，so we decided to have everyone meet in the middle．His family is from California and my family is from Georgia．We had an amazing year leading up to our wedding．He proposed （求婚）to me the day I graduated from the university of Maryland School of Law．We didn't know how we could afford a wedding，but our families came through，especially my mom，who covered almost half of the cost．It was amazing．Well，I planned the whole thing and it turned out to be a wonderful dream．I want to share our journey and story with anyone who is interested，because I want every couple to know that they can have their dream wedding within a budget

matter what the situation is， a "Wow!" will always beat "Oh，no．"So next time you meet one of life's unexpected gusts，remember that little girl and make it a "Wow!" experience．It always works．53．Where was the little girl？54．How did the little girl feel when her balloon was blown away？55．Will you have an active mood when unexpected trouble comes up？Why or why not？七、书面表达（共1小题；满分20分）56．（20分）假定你是Sally，上学期在Sunshine

Space travel is nothing new．The first spacecraft with a human was sent up into space in Since then，people have not only traveled to space，but many of them have also lived there in space stations for some time．The Soviet Union（前苏联）sent the first space station into space in 1971．This space station was called Salyut I．Salyut 1was designed as a place where people could live while they observed space and did experiments．The first group of astronauts lived there for23days．The Soviet Union went on to make seven more Salyut space stations．At about the same time，the United States built its own space station，called Skylab．Astronauts visited and often lived in these space stations for a short time．However，it wasn't until the late 1 980s when the Soviet Union sent the Mir space station that people began to live in space for a longer time．Mir stayed in space from 1989until 2001，when it was decided that the space station was too old and no longer safe to live in．Living in space stations seems to be fun，but astronauts face many problems．One of them is food．All the meals on space stations are put together on Earth and sent there by space shuttle．Because the food has to last a long time（sometimes up to three months），a lot of it has to be stored in cans．The space station does not have 8fridge，but it has a cool room to keep fruit and vegetables fresh．Astronauts also eat many other foods such as dried meat that do not need special care．Without the help of gravity，sitting down to eat can be tough．Astronauts sometimes have to fix themselves to the wall while eating．They also have to be very careful so that food does not float away．（48）．What is this article mainly about？________（49）．How many Salyut space stations did the Soviet Union send into space in all？________ （50）．Would you like to live in a space station？ Why or why not？________五、句子翻译（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分）将下列句子译成英语，并将所译句子写在答题卡标有题号的横线上．32. 你确信森林火灾两天内将会被扑灭？________33. 现在为了保持健康，我别无选择只能放弃抽烟．________34. 看来总体上这个机器人已经满足了大多数人的需求．________35. 老师总是鼓励我们用各种各样的乐器创作音乐．________36. 她一进入大厅就吸引了所有人的注意．________六、书面表达（共1题；满分20分）37. 假定你是阳光中学的初中毕业生李平，母校将为初一新生举办主题为"What to learn in junior high school？''的英语沙龙活动，特邀请你结合自身经历谈谈自己的体会．请根据以下提纲准备一份英语发言稿．（1）．学会学习：方法、习惯等；（2）．学会做人：友善、相处融洽；（3）．其他方面：考生自拟．注意：1．勿逐字翻译，可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯．（2）．词数90左右，发言稿开头和结尾已给出．不计入总词数．Good morning，everyone!

day．I waited for the phone to ring and then told her everything during the day．A phone call，however，could never take her place and it was difficult not to feel lonely at times．During my fourth﹣grade Christmas break，we flew to Rio to visit her．Looking at her large empty apartment，It was then I started to understand the difficult choices she had to make on．She need to think about family and work．She used to tell me，you wouldn't know whether you make the right choice，but youcould always make the best out of the situation，with a positive attitude．Back home，I reminded myself that what my mother could do，I could，too．If she managed to live in Rio all by herself，I，too，could learn how to take care of myself and set high but achievable goals．My mother is now back with us．But I will never

to keep in touch with their friends．They will often list their surnames，birthdays，after﹣school jobs，school clubs，hobbies and other personal information．"MySpace is an easy way to reach just about

shop and how companies learn where their products are．It was two university students from America，Bernard Silver and Norman Woodland，who first got the idea of bar codes．In 1948，they heard that the president of a food company was looking for a way to easily get information about what was being sold to customers．They tried to help by using a code system．They invented a large electronic reader to read the codes．However，computers couldn't easily record the data that was read．Then，in the 1960s，David Collins made important developments in bar codes．He developed a system for recognizing train carriages．In order to develop this technology for other kinds of businesses，Collins started his own company．In 1969，Collins's company put a bar code reading system in a car factory，showing that bar codes could be useful．Shortly after Collins started his company，an American electronic company called RCA also saw the potential（潜力）of bar codes to help businesses．RCA's system，whichrecorded how much of a product was sold，was not perfect．Since bar codes were not common，not all products had them and different companies used different codes．Then，Woodland helped develop the Universal Product Code （UPC），which gave every product a code that included information about the manufacturer and the kind of product being sold．This made bar codes much more practical．In addition to shops，hospitals use bar codes to identify patients by giving them cards with bar codes on them．Libraries use bar codes to record which books have been lent，and airports use them to find out where bags are going．Bar codes have made life much easier and simpler．Title：Bar CodesB）阅读短文，按要求完成相关任务（共1小题，每个小题2分，满分10分）69．（10分）Picture the scene：It's midnight．You're very hungry after studying for a long time．Then you see a nice pie in the fridge．Do you eat it？It seems that you shouldn't，for many reasons，including its influence on your studies．Scientists have long known that eating late at night can make us gain weight．But now a new study has shown that late﹣night eating can also have a bad influence on our brains﹣it might hurt our ability to learn new things and store memories．"We believe that late﹣night eating affects our learning by affecting the parts of the brain that control learning and memory，"Dawn Loh，PhD，a project scientist at the University of California，Los Angeles，said，"We believe the timing of when we eat is the main cause of the damaged （受损的）memory．"For the study，the researchers looked at mice with strict feeding plans so that the mice could receive the same amount of sleep and calories．For two weeks，the mice were either allowed to eat during the time when they are usually the most active，or during the time when they usually sleep．Then the researchers tested the brains of the mice．In one test，the researchers tried to find out whether the mice could remember that a room was connected to an electric shock（电击）after 24hours had gone by．The researchers noticed that，when the mice were put in the room again，those mice that ate when they should have been sleeping were less likely（可能的）to get scared than those mice that ate during usual hours．It means that they didn't remember．So think twice before the midnight snack﹣it might be bad for more than your weight．69．Does late﹣night eating make you gain weight？70．What does the underline word"it"in paragraph 2refer to （指代）？71．How can late﹣night eating affect our learning？72．Why did the researchers look at mice with strict feeding plans for the study？73．What does the article mainly talk about？六、书面表达74．（20分）初中三年的学习生活是艰苦的，也是快乐的，更是收货满满的．老师会经常告诉学生，当你感觉疲倦或者想放弃是相信未来成功时的模样，你就会重新充满能量．假设20年已然逝去，请20年后成功的你给现在的英语张老师写一封信．2．谈谈你的近况（中学毕业后的去向、现在的职业和家庭情况等）．要求：1．词数90左右，已给出部分不计入总词数．2．适当发挥，使短文通顺、连贯．3．文中不得出现真实姓名和学校．Dear

Positive people can be expected to live as many as five years longer than the unhappy ones.If you want to look and feel young and happy，here are five ways to achieve it.1. Think before you speak.Is what you're about to say actually true？Is it necessary? Is it kind? If you often use social media，please check your facts first.2. Look for the positive in something you dislike.Don't be all "Damn kids these days! " just because the latest music or dance craze or humor or hairstyles aren't the same as yours. Lighten up and open your mind. First，not everything requires your opinion. Second，some of these fads make for a good laugh later in life. Enjoy them. And third，challenge yourself to find something positive in the thing that you don't like.3. Talk to people you normally do n't speak to.Even the youngest of children can educate you about something. Want a great conversation starter? Ask a young person about their favorite app or video game. You'd be amazed at what you'll learn. Communication is a great connector among generations.4. Listen to new music. is a fantastic way to educate yourself about today's music. You will discover new artists with sounds and vibes similar to your favorite oldie bands.5. Push your comfort zone.Watch a documentary，volunteer for a worthy cause，try a new form of exercise，read a different newspaper，purposely hang out with people with opposing views. Not a fan of guns? Hire a gun specialist to teach you to handle guns safely.The secret to endless radiance and happiness is an open，curious mind. Don't let a "difference is wrong" mindset age you before your time.

We're supposed to lighten up and open your mind.C. Technology is a great connector among generations.D. There is far too much living and laughing to do.A science fiction flying car looks like a normal car, but it is an aircraft (飞行器) that anybody can fly directly from any place to another without using roads or runways. Science fiction writers have written about flying cars for a long time. But now flying cars will soon fly out of the world of science fiction into our real world. And the dream of the science fiction writers will soon come true.The first-known sky car is the FSC-1. The FSC-1 looks like an expensive sports car. You can drive the FSC-1 on the road like a normal car. If you touch a button, its wings and propeller (螺旋桨) fold out and then it can take off, fly and land as an airplane. The owners of the FSC-1 can choose if they want to drive or fly.Another flying car or sky car is the Moller Skycar M400. Although you can’t drive it on the roads, it is s mall and easy to fly and can take off and land like a helicopter (直升飞机). Urban Aeronautics’ X-Hawk is another type of sky car. It is expected to be available for about $3 million.Just like any new technology, flying cars have taken a long time to be developed. But some experts think the technology is far from what people imagine when they are sitting in traffic. It still needs to be improved.6．______ kinds of flying cars are mentioned in the passage.A. TwoB. ThreeC. FourD. Five7．The writer thinks that flying cars will be no longer a dream because ______.A. science fiction writers’ ideas are stupidB. they are too expensive to makeC. they will soon be availableD. they are only in science fiction8．The FSC-1 can ______.A. change itself into a robotB. move on water like a shipC. be flown only like an airplaneD. be driven like a car and flown like an airplane9．The Moller Skycar is different from the FSC-1 because ______.A. it can’t flyB. it can’t be driven like a carC. it is difficult to landD. it is much more expensive10．Some experts think the technology of flying cars is ______.A. normalB. traditionalC. not good enoughD. strange题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10答案第II卷（50分）四、基础知识 (共l5小题；每小题l 分，计l5分)A ）根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为41—45的相应位置上。

It's no secret that reading is helpful． But can it help kids lose weight In the first studyto look at the influence of literature on overweight teenagers, researchers at Duke Children's Hospital discovered that reading the right type of novel may make a difference．The Duke researchers asked overweight girls aged 9 to 13 who were already in a weight loss program to read a novel called Lake Rescue． It was carefully created with the help of pediatric experts （儿科专家）to include specific healthy lifestyle and weight management guidance, as well as positive messages and strong role models．Six months later, the Duke researchers found the 31 girls who read Lake Rescue experienced a significant decrease（fall）in their BMI scores （﹣.71%）when compared to a control group of 14 girls who hadn't （+.05%）, explained Alexandra C． Russell, afourth﹣year medical student at Duke who led the study．"As a pediatrician, I can't count the number of times I tell parents to buy a book that might provide useful advice, yet I've never been able to point to research to ________, " says Sarah Armstrong, director of Duke's Healthy Lifestyles Program where the research took place． "This is the first probable interventional （介入的） study that found literature can have a positive influence on healthy lifestyle changes in young girls．"Obesity（肥胖） is becoming more widespread in children, according to the CDC （Centres for Disease Control）, which reports that 16 percent of children aged 6 to 19 are overweight or obese, a number that has increased since 1980． Researchers are looking at a lot of ways to help kids stay healthy, lose weight and be more active, but Armstrongsays, "most don't work very well． The weight loss choices that are effective typically involve taking powerful medications with side effects, or require long﹣lasting surgical procedures．"While the BMI decrease because of the book is small, Armstrong says any decrease in BMIis encouraging because BMI typically increases in children as they grow anddevelop． That's okay as long as it follows a normal, progressing curve（曲线）． In overweight kids, however, BMI usually increases more quickly． "If their BMI percentile（百分位） goes down, it means they are either losing weight or getting tall and not gaining weight． Both are seen as positive signs in kids who are trying to lose weight, " she explains．（1）What did researchers at Duke Children's Hospital do？________A They tried to find out the reasons why kids are overweight．B They focused on the research into girls' healthy lifestyle．C They studied whether literature could help lose weight．D They helped the girls to choose right books to read．．（2）The underlined phrase "back up my recommendations" probably means "________"．A influence my researchB change my opinionC respect my studyD support my advice．（3）Which of the following statements about the research is TRUE？________A The researchers interviewed the girls and studied information．B Pediatric experts offered specific guidance to the research．C 16 percent of children aged from 9 to 13 were overweight．D The girls read a certain novel and gave their reports．．（4）What's the finding of the research？________A That the girls all grew tall and lost weight after 6 months．B That the girls showed great interest in reading literature works．C That the girls who read Lake Rescue had a decrease in BMI．D That the girls needed to take powerful medications to lose weight．20. It was the worst day of my professional life． My publisher shut down, and we had no idea if another publisher would take over my novel． In addition, my second novel hadn't sold as well as the first one． It seemed that I was watching my career going downwards． It was so terrifying．However, as I shared my fears with my mother, she said something I would neverforget: "I would love you if you were a garbage man．" She wasn't looking down upon garbage men． She was just saying that whatever my job was, she loved me． It was just her honest feeling at that moment, but those simple words are still the ones I use to fight so many of my fears today．To this day, when I sit down to write every day, I say those words to myself, "I'd love youif you were a garbage man．" I can still feel the selflessness of my mother's love．A few years ago, my mother passed away because of breast cancer． It was she who setme on the path of writing a series of children's books to give strength to my own children．The first two are I'm Amelia Earhart and I'm Abraham Lincoln． In sixmonths, we'll publish I'm Rosa Parks． For me, this isn't just a book series． It's my dream for my own daughter, for my sons, and for all of us who need to see the power and potential （潜力） in each of us．This series was born also because I was tired of my daughter thinking that reality TV stars were heroes． I tell my kids all the time: That's fame （名气）． Fame is different from being a hero． I wanted my kids to see real heroes who are no different than ________． For this reason, each book tells the story of the hero when he/she was a kid． We see them as children．So it's not just Amelia Earhart and Abraham Lincoln being famous; it's them being just like us．Look around． We live in a world that desires heroes． Our solution is what my mother taught me with her words: the power of an ordinary person． I can proudly repeat my mother's words to my kids． They'll understand how I love them．（1）The author felt terrified because________．A he was experiencing a difficult time in his careerB his mother passed away becauseof breast cancer C he had no idea how to sell his second novel D he was given a jobas a garbage man．（2）What was the author's understanding of his mum's words？________A Mum wanted him to be a garbage man．B Mum loved him no matter what he did．C Mum was looking down on garbage men．D Mum didn't want him to continue writing novels．．（3）What does "themselves" in the fifth paragraph refer to？________A Real heroes．B Children's books．C The author's kids．D Reality TV stars．．（4）The author is trying to teach his children to________．A respect real heroesB behave themselvesC be ordinary peopleD realize their own potential．四、词汇（本题共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）A．请根据括号中的中文提示、英文释义或句意，写出句中所缺单词，使句子通顺．21.

These operas made 20 in South Korea and in America have a lot of lovers in China.Many people 21 that China's soap operas are not much loved by most Chinese，because they are not as interesting as 22 from South Korea and America，such as My Love from the Star，a Korean love story between a time-travelling professor and a famous movie star.However，Korean shows not only 23 soap operas but also some programmings(综艺节目).

Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers. They believe intelligent life exists(存在)somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact these beings.Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. "This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life，" say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size-the universe is huge. "Tools like the Hubble telescope(哈勃望远镜)have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies，" says Shostak. "And our galaxy，the Milk Way，has at least 100 billion stars. Someplanets going around these stars might be similar to Earth."In the past，it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now，powerful telescopes(高倍望远镜)allow scientists to discover smaller planets-the size of Mars or Earth in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life.Have beings from space already visited Earth? "Probably not，" says Shostak. "It's a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other ways，such as radio signs. In fact，they may be trying to communicate with us now，but we don't have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025，we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other. "26. What is the best title for Paragraph Two?A. The Age and Size of EarthB. Our Galaxy: The Milk WayC. Why Intelligent Life Might ExistD. Earth: The Only Planet With Intelligent Life27. Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past?A. There were not any smaller planets.B. There were not any powerful telescopes.C. The astronomers were not interested in them.D. The Milk Way didn't exist at that time.28. Why haven't beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak?A. They are afraid of us.B. It's a long way away.C. They don't want to see us.D. They don't know how to use radio signs.29. What does the underlined phrase "life forms" in the last paragraph mean?A. Messages.B. Tools.C. Intelligent beings.D. Radio signs.BIf you love reading books，you must know about the book The Little Prince. It's a famous novel written by a French writer. As one of the best-selling books in history，it has been sold as many as 200 million copies in 253 languages and dialects(方言).Now, around seventy years after the birth of the book，an American director has found a way to make it into a 3D animated film(动画片).The book tells the story of a pilot，called The Aviator, who crashes(撞击)into the desert and meets a young prince there. However, in the film，the story starts years after the crash when The Aviator is much older. He has got a new neighbor called The Little Girl，whose mother wants her to get ready to enter the grown-up world. Slowly The Aviator shares his story with The Little Girl by writing it down and sending her a page at a time. The pages are complete with the pictures in the book，speaking about his time in the desert and taking The Little Girl to an amazing world where anything is possible.China is the first country in the world to see the film in two versions一in Chinese and English. The film shows The Little Girl's life and tells The Little Prince's story at the same time in abeautiful way.Huang Lei，who voices the film together with his 9-year-old daughter, says the film is like a childhood dream which is lost by most adults in this stressed-out society."The most touching part is that every one of us was a good-natured kid like the Little Prince，and it's a pity that this good characteristic(品质)goes away as flies，"he says.30. The book The Little Prinse is One of the best-selling books in history because .A. you must know about it if you love reading booksB. it shows The Little Prince's story in a beautiful wayC. it has been sold as many as 200 million copies in 253 languages and dialectsD. the director has made it into a 3D animated film31.

The Aviator takes her to an amazing world.D. She moves home next to The Aviator.32. What does the underlined word "good-natured" mean?A. kindB. friendlyC. helpfulD. all above33.

In the year 2500，we are able to travel through time to any year in the history of the earth. This year is your last chance to change your lifestyle to save the earth.Beginning in the middle of the 20th century, a few people were worried about polluting the earth's water and air，but most people did not change their way of life. Instead, they continued to pour(倒)dangerous chemicals(化学物品)and other waste into lakes and seas，to drive more and more cars and trucks，and to cut down trees.By the year 2200，the earth's water was completely polluted. People could no longer drink water, and they had to use other types of liquids(液体).Scientists said that in the future there might be too many people on the earth. But not enough was done.So by the year 2300，there were so many people that food became scarce. There was no water to grow food and all of the fish in lakes and seas died because of pollution. Terrible wars broke out between the rich and the poor. Scientists were working very hard to find another planet in space where humans could live on.By the year 2400，the air was too polluted for humans to breathe. So we had to leave the earth.
