was out hunting on his horse in the Welsh countryside.Back home，his newborn son was sleeping as Gelert，his faithful dog，watched over him.While the Prince and his men were riding through the forest，they heard loud barking coming from the direction of the house.The Prince had a terrible feeling.He turned his horse around and ran quickly home.When Prince Llewellyn walked through the door，Gelert was waiting for him.As soon as he saw his master，the dog jumped up to greet him with a huge smile on his face.The Prince looked at Gelert.Something wasn't right.When he looked closer he saw blood dropping from the dog's mouth and fur.Llewellyn ran into his son's bedroom.The cot was empty.The white things in it were covered in blood.The Prince didn't think twice.He took his sword （剑）and swung it at the dog.Gelert looked at his master as if he didn't understand.Then with a final weak cry，he lay down and died.As Prince Llewellyn looked at his dead dog on the floor，he knew that he had done something wrong.He looked around the room and he saw that there had been a fight.There were clothes and broken dishes on the floor.There was a lot more blood too.And then he heard the sound of a baby crying.The noise was coming from under the cot.The Prince slowly lifted it up.There was his baby son，alive and well.On the floor behind the bed he saw the body of a dead wolf.And then the Prince realized.Gelert hadn't killed his son，he had hidden the baby andkilled the wolf.How sad Prince Llewellyn was!He organized a great ceremony （仪式）to place the dog that had saved his son's life in a grave （墓穴）.He visited the grave every day until he died.（1）Which of the following has the closest meaning of the underlined word "cot"？A.A kind of bed.B.A kind of clothes.C.A kind of dishes.D.A

cool.C.Calm and lovely.D.Clever and brave.15．（8分）In most situations，light helps us see.But nowadays humans are using too much of it so that it is in fact a kind of pollution.When it comes to looking at the night sky，too much light makes it difficult for us to watch some of life's most wonderful sights：stars，planets and even galaxies.According to scientific research，about 2500 stars can be seen by the human eye without using any special equipment（装备）.But because of light pollution，you can only see 200 to 300 stars from today's countryside，and no more than ten stars from a city.In most big cities，peoplecannot see the sky filled with stars like they did in their childhood.Light pollution affects more than just our view of sky.Research shows that lots of nighttime light can harm wildlife，too.When birds fly to another place over cities，they sometimes get lost by the brightness and fly in circles until they drop from tiredness.Sea turtles need dark beaches for laying eggs，but they can't find their ideal places because of those bright lights.Too much light at night may even affect human health，but scientists are not sure of that.They are still learning more.In order to prevent things from going worse，governments and some organizations are working to reduce light pollution.Many cities and towns have taken action to reduce the use of lights at night.Lights are used only when and where they are truly needed.They also shine lights down at the ground instead of up into the sky and use lower brightness levels.Hopefully，in the near future，humans can enjoy the clear and beautiful sky again and all the wildlife will live a peaceful and undisturbed （不受打扰）life，too.（1）Why does the writer think that too much light is a kind of pollution？A.Because there are fewer and fewer stars.B.Because human health has been affected.C.Because too much light is a waste of energy.D.Because some of the wildlife can be harmed.（2）Which of the following is NOT mentioned（提到）in this passage？A.The problems that light pollution has caused.B.The reason why humans use too much light.C.The ways that light pollution can be reduced.D.The reason why fewer stars can be seen than before.（3）Which of the following is true according to the passage？A.There are about 2，500 stars in the sky.B.Humans want to do nothing to reduce light pollution.C.Sea turtles always get lost and die from tiredness.D.Something has been done to reduce light pollution.（4）Which is the best title for the passage？A.Light pollution.B.Stars，planets and galaxies.C.Nighttime light.D.Scientific research.四、基础知识检测（共16小题；每小题1分，满分20分）16．（1分）If coal and oil are used or thrown away （['keələsli]），they will finally run out.17．（1分）Shared bikes can help people travel around freely in cities without（污染）．18．（1分）Some people think it's （礼貌）to ask someone's age.19．（1分）These new types of energy cost very little and little pollution．（产生）20．（1分）Online teaching，which is becoming more and more popular，is （类似的）in many ways to regular teaching.21．（1分）Usually，books for children（write）in simple languages．22．（1分）We were proud of after the singing competition last week. （we）23．（1分）They have just had a about where to spend their holidays（discuss）24．（1分）﹣Why were you late for the meeting？﹣Because I（catch）in the heavy traffic during the morning rush hour．25．（1分）The money given by his

If they are American, they'll probably be fifteen minutes early. If they are British, they'll be fifteen minutes late, and you should allow up to an hour for Italians.English is widely understood.

The Japanese, however, don't like to work while eating. Lunch is thought, in Japan, to be a time to relax and to get to know one another, and the Japanese seldom drink at lunchtime. Germans like to talk business before dinner, while the French like to eat first and talk afterwards. The French think they have to be well fed before they discuss anything.So it's important for us to know the saying:( )31.

I’d like to give you a wish. It’s my pleasure to satisfy（满足）you,”said the luck Fairy.“A wish?”Fred and Doris asked, standing hand in hand and smiling at each other. Then Fred answered,“Thanks, Luck Fairy. We’re living a happy life.”“We are no longer young, but we still work in the field from morning to night every day. We enjoy ourselves,”said Doris.“You work very hard but you make so little money. Would you like some gold coins to buy a comfortable house?”asked the Luck Fairy.“Oh no, my dear Luck Fairy. We love our small old house. We have lived here for a long time,”answered Fred, without a moment’s hesitation(犹豫).“We are happy to work and live together all the time. That’s enough,”Doris agreed.The couple were quite different from other people the Luck Fairy had ever met. She appreciated(欣赏) them very much. She disappeared, saying, “I wish you a happy life forever.”Many years later, the couple lived happily as usual. It seemed that they were the happiest in the world.Satisfaction is a kind of feeling that needs to be experienced from inside. It’s very important to be satisfied with what you’ve got. If you enjoy the pleasure of the simple life, good luck will follow you.根据短文内容，回答下列问题。
