I never planned to start it. In the beginning, I just wanted to find my purpose (意义) in life.I visited a children’s home. I read to them in the evening on ce a week. One night I watched them go to sleep. There was no changing clothes, no bedtime stories, no hugs from parents. Bedtime should not be like that. I decided to send some pajamas to the children’s home. I couldn’t change the children’s life, but I c ould give them warm, clean pajamas to sleep in.The next week I took some pajamas to the children’s home. One little girl didn’t take the pajamas from me. She asked me quietly, “What are these?”“They’re pajamas,” I said.“When do I wear them?”“When you go to bed at night.”She still didn’t understand.“What do you usually wear to bed?” I asked her.“My pants,” she said.I felt sad. A few weeks later, it seemed that a “raindrop” fell onto my head and the words PAJAMA PROGRAM spoke to me loud. Then I started to tell everyone to give me new pajamas for my birthday, Christmas ..., and I gave them to children in need. And then I found my purpose in life.41.

The “raindrop” that changed my lifeCLet’s Learn More about Each OtherAre the lives of city kids the same as those in villages? In many ways, they are very different. But what are the differences?Hu Peng of Wuhan and four friends decided to find them out. Earlier this month, they lived for a week in Caidian, a village near Wuhan. Hu and his friends went door to door in Caidian and asked the kids there lots of questions. They wanted to learn more about village kids’ everyday lives, so they asked these questions like —Do your parents teach you how to do housework? How much money do you usually spend on dinner? What would you do if a thief came into your house? They also asked 150 city kids the same questions.What’s the Difference?Last week the team gave a report to their class. There are lots of differences between children’s lives in cities and those in villages. Th e biggest difference is independence. Hu’s team said that 60 percent of city kids couldn’t do much housework, but 90 percent of village kids could care for themselves.City kids told Hu they cared about school a lot, and they had no time for washing clothes or making their beds. Village kids said they helped their parents with housework a lot. They cooked, did some cleaning and fed animals. Hu’s team also found that village kids had less pocket money. Many never used computers. They played in rivers or on m ountains. Some didn’t really like to make new friends.Hu and his friends said their trip gave them more self-confidence because they were doing something by themselves. But it also made them a little worried because they saw they still had a lot to learn. “When we grow up, our parents can’t take care of us,” said Hu. “We have to learn to take care of ourselves.” Shen Guanquan, one of Hu’s friends, said, “When children learn to care for themselves, they learn to do lots of things.”46.

They found that most village kids ________.A. had no time for their studyB. didn’t care much about schoolC. helped their parents with housework a lot48.

The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph means _________.A. their tripB. their reportC. city kids50. Hu Peng and his friends finished their report by _________.A. questioning village kids’ parentsB. questioning village kids and city kidsC. watching village kids’ everyday livesDYears ago, if a person had some problem in his life, he might go home and write in his diary. Now he might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog.Differences between a blog and a diaryUsually, a person thinks of his diary as a book full of secrets. He does not want to share. But in the blog, anyone can read what he writes.I have a little sister, and sometimes I go onto the Internet to read her blog. She writes about swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry exam. When I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but only in my diary. Then, after I finished writing, I would put my diary in a secret place because I was worried that my sister might read it!Problems with bloggingThe biggest problem with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend and wrote something bad about her in my diary, she would never know. However, if my sister wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might read her blog and get angry. Because we do not always think about things carefully before we write about our days. It is easy to hurt others’ feeling in a blog. So we have to be very careful about what we write.Keeping in touch with (保持联系)friendsBlogging has both good and bad points, of course. People choose to blog because they know that their friends will read what they write.If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary “Nobody cares about me,” no one would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would quickly reply and tell her how much they like her. Blogs help people keep in touch with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.Blogs are a very good way to write about daily life, if people are careful aout what they write. However, I still like writing better in my diary!51. What’s the difference between blogs and diaries according to the passage?A. Blogs can be read by others while diaries only by writers themselves.B. Blogs are always good while diaries are sometimes bad for writers.C. Blogs are a good way to write about life while diaries about other things52. It is easy to hurt others’ feeling in blogs, because people .A. usually write about their daily life thereB. only write something bad about others thereC. don't always think carefully before writing there53. What is the biggest problem with blogging?A. Help people keep in touch with their friends.B. Someone may read your blog and get angry with you.C. Anyone may read what you write.54. We can learn from the passage that .A. the writer will choose to blog so that others can keep in touch with himB. the writer would rather keep diaries than write in a blogC. the writer doesn't like her sister's writing in a blog55. What’s the best title of this passage?A. Differences between a blog and a dairyB. Problems with bloggingC. Keeping in touch with friends.第四部分：口语运用从对话后的选项中选择适当的选项补全对话.A: Could you lend me your dictionary?B: Sure.

I’ve no idea if they ______ boating if it tomorrow.A. will go; rainsB. will go; will rainC. go; rains【答案】A【解析】【详解】句意：如果明天下雨，我不知道他们是否会去划船.考查动词时态.根据I’ve no idea if they ___ boating if it tomorrow.可知句意为“如果明天下雨，我不知道他们是否会去划船.”第一个空，是if引导的宾语从句，主句是一般现在时，从句时态不受限制，由tomorrow可知用一般将来时态will+动词原形；第二个空，是if引导的条件状语从句，遵循主将从现的原则，从句主语是it，所以应用rains；故答案选A.4. I saw him when I passed by.A. ranB. to runC. running【答案】C【解析】 试题分析：句意：当我经过的时候，我看到他正在跑.此题考查动词短语see sb doing sth 看到某人正在做某事和see sb do sth 看到某人做了某事.根据句意，应选C.考点：考查非谓语动词.5.

Why are you in such a hurry?—_______ the 7:00 train.A. To catchB. CatchingC. Catch 【答案】A【解析】 【详解】句意：——你好，李明，你为什么那么着急？——为了赶七点的火车.考查非谓语动词.A. To catch 动词不定式；B. Catching 动名词；C. Catch 动词原形.根据Hi, Li Ming. Why are you in such a hurry?可知这里是询问原因，设空处表示的是目的，所以用动词不定式作目的状语；故选A .7.

Missing the train means ________ for an hour.A. waitB. to waitC. waiting【答案】C【解析】【详解】句意：误了火车意味着要等一个小时.考查动词非谓语.A. wait等待，动词原形；B. to wait动词不定式；C. waiting动名词.根据Missing the train means ____ for an hour.可知句意为“误了火车意味着要等一个小时.”mean doing sth.固定搭配，意思是“意味着…”，mean to do sth.意思是“（意欲）打算做某事”不符合句意，故答案选C.10. Smoking is bad for your health. You should .A. give up itB. give it upC. give up them【答案】B【解析】【详解】句意：吸烟对你的健康有害，你应该放弃.考查动词短语.根据Smoking is bad for your health. You should .可知句意为“吸烟对你的健康有害，你应该放弃.” give up“放弃”，是“动词+副词”构成的短语，修饰代词时，要把代词放在短语之间，这里指代的是前面的smoking，所以应用it；故答案选B.11. —_____ you please play tennis with me? —Sorry, I _____.A. Could; can’tB. Could; couldn’tC. Can; couldn’t【答案】A【解析】【详解】句意：——你能和我一起打网球吗？——对不起，我不能.考查情态动词.can，表示能、会，could 是其动词过去式，两者都可表请求，只是could更委婉客气.根据句意可知说话人是请求对方和他打网球，所以第一空可填写情态动词can 或者could ，回答时都应用can 来作答，否定回答应是can’t ，则可排除C 、D 选项，故答案选A .12. There is a bird in the tree now. A. sings B. singingC. is singing【答案】B 【解析】【详解】句意：现在有一只鸟在树上唱歌.考查动词非谓语.A. sings 唱歌，第三人称单数；B. singing 动名词；C. is singing 现在进行时.根据句子分析there be 结构后不能再出现谓语形式，排除A 、C 选项；“There be sb/sth doing sth.+地点”是固定句型，意思是“某地有某人或某物正在做某事”；故答案选B . 13. —I'm not going swimming tomorrow afternoon. — .

A. was having; were having B. was having; hadC. had; were having【答案】A 【解析】【详解】句意：昨天上午九点，我正在上英语课，而他们正在上体育课.考查过去进行时.根据时间状语at nine o'clock yesterday morning ，判断设空处的动作在过去某个时刻正在进行着，且动作在一段时间内持续进行，所以用过去进行时，过去进行时的构成是：主语+was/were+动词的现在分词；第一个空，主语是I ，所以be 动词用was ，第二个空，主语是they ，be 动词用were ，have an English class “上英语课”，have a PE。
