When the coach started pitching, hitting became 1 for me. I missed every single pitch. From the side, I heard my teammate Emily laughing at me. My face got hot and my throat felt like it had a softball stuck in. At that moment, I was starting to 2 playing softball.The next afternoon, when Mum said it was time to play the game, I told her I was 3 . She allowed me to lie down for a while. So I went to my room and 4 myself in bed. This was difficult for me because I was fine.Soon Mum came in and said, "Time to go!" She didn't even ask if I felt 5 . I imagined Emily laughing from the sideline, and 6 I really did feel sick to my stomach. I began crying loudly. Still, Mum pulled my team T-shirt over my head. She said, "You have to play for the rest of the season, and only after that we can talk about 7 you′ll continue next year." She added that practice was what I needed, not giving up. She promised to practice with me.I got two hits that afternoon, and Emily didn't make a 8 . Every week after that, I practiced at home 9 I got to be one of the best hitters on the team.That 10 taught me being afraid is part of life, and I can do whatever is expected of me if I keep working and practicing.( )1.

But sleeping can also be dangerous because other animals may hurt those who are sleeping. This leads to many different ways of sleeping that help them stay safe. Some of these ways may surprise you!Almost all bats sleep upside down. They hang from a branch of a t ree or the ceiling of a cave. Up high, bats are safe from most other animals. If they are in danger, they just fly away.A dolphin sleeps with just half its brain at a time. It must stay awake to breathe and to watch for danger. Dolphin mothers and babies can go without sleep for as long as two months to stay safe.Some ducks sleep with just half their brains, too. These ducks often sleep in a line. The ducks at both ends help to keep the group safe. They keep one eye open to watch for danger. The ducksin the middle sleep deeply with both eyes closed.Seals breathe air, but that doesn’t stop some of them from sleeping underwater. They hold their breath and dive deep to sleep for up to twenty minutes at a time. Sleeping deep underwater helps these seals stay safe from animals that hunt them near the surface.Horses often sleep standing up. Their legs lock in place so they don’t fall over. If a horse is lying down, it needs a long time to get up. A horse can run from danger more quickly if it is already standing.A flamingo can sleep while standing on one leg. The standing leg locks so it stays straight. The other leg remains close to the flamingo’s body. Its head rests on its back. A flamingo lives (and sleeps) near many other birds to stay safe.Some seabirds can sleep while they fly. These large birds spend most of their lives over the ocean. They are in danger on the water, but they are safe in the air. They fly for many hours without flapping（拍打）their wings. Sometimes they sleep while they are flying.Would you like to sleep how they sleep?1. The animals that sleep with half their brains are _______.A. ducks and sealsB. dolphins and ducksC. bats and dolphinsD. flamingos and seabirds2. Horses often stand up when they sleep because _______.A. they can run from danger quicklyB. they are afraid of falling overC. this helps them to sleep deeplyD. it takes them a long time to go to sleep3. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. How animals sleepB. Sleep to stay healthyC. Sleep as animals doD. What sleeping animals are likeBLizzie's diary from Antarctica(南极洲)Day 3:Tuesday December 2We planned to go to Rothera that morning. We'd be staying there for the next two weeks. Because Antarctica is the windiest place on earth，sometimes you can't fly at all.We had a nervous wait over breakfast to find out if we'd be leaving that day. People have to stay in Stanley for weeks while the pilots wait for good weather.It turned clear at 9:30 and we took off at 10:30 on a little red plane called a Dash-7. But even when we were in the air，there was still a chance we wouldn't be able to fly the whole day.Day 4:Wednesday December 3After waking up in the Antarctic for the first time today I can understand why everybody who comes here falls in love with the place. It is really beautiful.We're staying at Rothera Survey base with mountains of ice all around. It's about minus 2℃today, which for me is very cold, but the regulars(常客)here are often seen walking around in T-shirts!Day 5:Thursday December 4I woke up to another beautiful sunny day here in the Antarctic. I'm told it's a bit colder today，about minus 5℃，but it's not very windy so it feels warmer. Those of us who are new to the base have to do a special training course before we're allowed to go off base to other stations or to go snowboarding over the nearby hill.Day 7:Saturday December 6Not a cloud in the sky and it's warm enough to sit outside(in a jacket).The most amazing thing about this place is how the scenery(风景)changes every day. At first I thought I was going mad. I'd step outside in the morning and think，"I'm sure that big mountain of ice wasn't there yesterday." It's because the sea ice is always moving一slowly thankfully!4. Lizzie sat outside wearing a jacket on .A. TuesdayB. WednesdayC. ThursdayD. Saturday5. What could stop Lizzie from leaving Stanley for Rothera?A. Strong winds.B. Thick clouds.C. Mountains of ice.D. Low temperatures.6. How did Lizzie feel during her stay in the Antarctic?A. Afraid.B. Nervous.C. Amazed.D. Bored.7. What impressed Lizzie most about Rothera was that .A. people walked around in T-shirtsB. there was a special training courseC. the weather was sometimes warmD. the scenery changed every dayCNowadays more and more children seem to get lost in a "sea of digital(数字) technology". As they use digital technology too much, they are losing their ability to do simple things. They can't make toys themselves with hands or help Mum cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with others."I have talked with a number of teachers. They care about the increasing numbers of young pupils who can play with computers or smart phones, but have few or no skills to make things." said a teacher, Colin Kinney. "Many pupils can't communicate with other pupils but their parents talk proudly of their ability to use a computer or a smart phone."Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and quietly play on a tablet (平板电脑)on weekends and fter scriool. How can a child grow up to be a very good artist if he doesn't learn how to use a paintbrush and develop his painting skill? How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older if he doesn't learn to communicate with others at a young age?Digital technology can be used for good or bad. We can use a stone to either break a window or build a house. We shouldn′t blame the children. We should help them make right choices. It is certainly necessary for children to know how to use digital technology in today's world, but whatis more important, we should encourage them to develop social abilities which will do them good when they grow up.8. What's the worst problem that is mentioned in the first paragraph?A. Children can't make things themselves.B. Children make too many friends online.C. Children don't want to communicate with others.D. Children don't like helping Mum cook meals at home.9. According to Colin Kinney, which of the following is TRUE?A. Teachers don't notice that young pupils have few skills to make things.B. Many parents are very happy that their kids can use digital technology.C. Many teachers don't care if young pupils can play computers or tablets.D. Some parents are worried that their kids use digital technology too much.10. What do many young children choose to do on weekends and after school?A. To play on a tablet indoors.B. To paint with their paintbrushes.C. To play with other children.D. To make friends with other children.11. What does the underlined word "blame" mean in Chinese?A.表扬B.原谅C.评价D.责怪12. What does the writer mainly want to tell us?A. It's very important for children to have social skills.B. It's very helpful for children to do some housework.C. It's necessary for parents to learn to use digital technology.D. It's difficult for teachers to make right choices for their pupils.四、词汇检测(10分)1. His last public concert will be on in Shanghai in a (几个)of months.2. He has much (经验)as an engineer.3.

He liked it very much and hoped to live a quiet life in it.However, to his great surprise, many tourists came to see his villa in summer holidays, for it was the most beautiful building in the village. From morning to night there were tourists outside the villa. They kept looking into the rooms through the windows and many of them even went into Mr. Miller's garden.This was too much for Mr. Miller. He decided to drive the visitors away.He put a notice on the window. The notice said: "If you want to satisfy your curiosity(好奇心), come in and look around. Price: twenty dollars." Mr. Miller thought the visitors would stop coming, but he was wrong. More and more visitors came and he had to spend every day showing them around his house."I came here to relax after retirement, not to work as a guide." he said angrily. In the end, he sold the house and moved away.39. Mr. Miller 's house was ________that many tourists came to see it.A. so smallB. so bigC. so quietD. so beautiful40.

It’s a friendly way that people in the USA greet each other. But “How are you” is also a very unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “ Fine”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reaso n is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?” the other person might think, “No, I disagree. I think you’re wrong…” But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say “I’m not sure.” It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.People also don’t say exactly what they are t hinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, man y talks over the phone finish when one person says “I ha ve to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse “Someone’s at the door.” “Something is burning on the stove.” The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person.Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don’t say exactly w hat they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s part of the rule of the game of language.42.

第三节：听短文，回答问题。
短文读二遍。
When I have something difficult to do, I always ask my mum, "Could you help
me?" But she always says, "Do it yourself, dear." Then I get so sad. I think she is a lazy mother.
For example, one day, I invited some friends to my home. My bedroom was out of order. Books were all over the table and the ground. I forgot to make my bed. So I asked my mother to help me clean it. But she said seriously, "Do it yourself, girl." So I did it myself.
Because of my "lazy" mum, I am supposed to wash my clothes and clean my room. I have
to help my parents do some housework. I even have to go to the dentist by myself if I have a toothache. It's really hard to do everything on my own, but I have learned a lot.
From now on, I understand my mother. It's her "laziness" that makes me clever and hard-working. Just as my mum always says, "A lady can't be lazy or she'll be crazy. Work can make you sunny."

76. One possible version:
Nowadays, more and more schools are trying to use e- schoolbags. But different people have different ideas about it.
Some people hold the opinion that the e-schoolbags are good for students’ study. First of all, students can watch some learning videos by e-schoolbags, which can make the study more interesting. In addition, if students use e-schoolbags to study, they don’t need to carry a lot of books. It is so easy and good for saving paper.
However, other people have the different views. They point out that it will be bad for kids’ eyes if they spend a lot of time using e-schoolbags. Besides, children will depend on the internet so much that they will have less time to communicate with others.
From my point of view, I think the e-schoolbags are good, it gives us a new way of learning and can make us more interested in study, but we should use them wisely.。
