John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggli ng (努力) to make a home when the cost of living is very high. The Koses took a 2-week course for $ 280 at a night school. Now they themselves build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe-making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. “I was very upset about it. Now I’ve finished a car repair course. I should be able to fix the car myself. ”John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-yourself”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don’t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how to do things yourself.( ) 4.

Anyway, I cannot deny （否认）what a great chance it was to live and work in another country．（1）Which of the following is NOT ________ to the writer？________A. It takes French students much time to eat lunch．B.French students use ‘tu' with their head teacher．C.Students in France wear different clothes at school．D. Teachers and students in the UK seem highly pressured．．（2）What might the writer say to his friends when he goes back to the UK？________A. It's very fantastic to stay in France．B. People in France are more polite than us．C.The French culture is just the same as ours．D. It's more difficult to learn French in France．．（3）What is the best title of the passage？________A. Life in FranceB. Troubles in FranceC. Cultural DifferencesD. Different Languages．We all know the sun is important．It provides life for plants, animals, and people here on Earth．But how does the sun do that? It's the sun's energy that makes life on our planet possible．Energy from the sun is called solar （太阳的）energy．It comes in the form of light or heat．Solar energy is what makes you feel hot when you sit in the sunlight．People have used solar energy for thousands of years．Houses are built with windows so that sunlight can get inside and provide heat．The sun's energy can also be used to heat water and even food．If you own a magnifying glass （放大镜）, your parents have probably warned you about leaving it in the sun．Solar energy can actually make the magnifying glass burn things under it, causing a fire．This type of energy from the sun in the form of heat is called solar thermal （热的）energy．We can also turn the sun's light into electricity （电能）．This is done with solar panels．Using this technology, we can run a calculator and even power cars．But what happens when groups of clouds block the solar panels? Does this mean that solar energy can only be used on bright sunny days? Solar panels can have batteries （电池）with them to store （储存）electricity for a rainy day．When the sun is shining, the electricity flows from the solar panel into the batteries．This stored electricity can be used at night or on cloudy days． Do you know that solar energy is not as expensive as it used to be? In fact, in the last few years, solar panels have become much more ________ for people to use．Since the sun gives off more energy in one second than people have used since the beginning of tie, imagine what we could do if we used the sun's energy to power our earth．（1）What is the writer trying to do in this text？________A.

If children walk many hours a day to get water，they can't go to school．For World Water Day，some people in the UK walk，run or cycle 10 km，others climb mountains or even jump from a plane to the ground．At one school children walk 6 km with 6 liters of water so they can see how it feels to walk a long distance （距离）carrying heavy bottles of water．People give them money for doing these things and all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world．（1）________ （2）________ （3）________ （4）________ （5）________（6）________ （7）________ （8）________ （9）________ （10）________B）请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号的相应位置上．Do you know what makes you happy？Write a list of all the things that make you happy．If you s（1）________your time doing all these fun things，you'll be really happy．For most people，fun isn't e（2）________for real happiness．Paul Dolan wrote a book called Happiness by Design．He thinks happiness comes from both pleasure and p（3）________．If most of the things on your list are about pleasure，that is what you think makes you happy．But you also need activities with purpose．If you're a student，your " j（4）________" is studying and passing exams．It's easy to do well in subjects you like，but subjects you don't like are less motivating （激励的）．They're not fun for you，but you have to study them so you need to f（5）________purpose．An "A" in a subject you hate won't help the world．But can you be part of a study team with friends？Each person can study one part until they understand it and then teach it to the r（6）________of thegroup．The purpose becomes helping the team．Go back to your list of things that make you happy．How many of them are activities that bring purpose？Can you a（7）________any more examples？Remember，some activities might bring both pleasure and purpose．Now you need to design a happy life．Paul Dolan b（8）________people should "decide，design，do"．First decide what brings you pleasure and/or purpose ﹣﹣﹣that means your two lists．T（9）________，don't just think about these activities，fill your life with them．For example，you love riding a bike but n（10）________have time to do it．So，ride to school or the library or the shops．Some parts of our lives are good or bad luck，but we can still design the rest to make more happiness．六、书面表达（满分10 分）为了保护我们的母亲河﹣秦淮河，Sunshine school 英语俱乐部准备举行一次慈善行走活动．交流学生Max 对此非常感兴趣，想进一步了解相关信息．请你根据海报内容用英文给他写一封邮件，介绍此项活动．注意：1．对所有要点逐一陈述，适当发挥．2．词数80 左右，邮件的开头和署名已经给出，不计入总词数．3．文中不得提及有关考生个人身份的任何信息，如校名、人名等．Dear Max，As part of the Qinhuai River are still polluted with lots of waste，_____________________________．Yours，Li Hai。
