But very few people can afford a global tour because hotels，food and airplane tickets are too expensive. Some people，however, have thought of some ways to realize their dreams.Laura Cody and Tanbay Theune, a couple from Britain, decided to travel around the world. They have found a good way to pay for their trips. They look after pets for rich house owners. In exchange, they can stay in the houses for free. They have looked after horses, cows, cats, dogs and fish. In two years, the couple has been to Australia, Germany, Spain and Italy. They have stayed in big cities and small villages. The home owners are usually very generous and have given them food, wine and day trips.Another person who tries to realize her travel dream is photographer Rhiannon Taylor. She travels around the world to visit, review and take photos of the best hotels. She shares the places she stays and the food she eats on the Internet with tens of thousands of followers.With these ways of making money, traveling around the world is no longer a dream. More and more young people are thinking creatively to make their dream come true.( )26. It is known from the passage that Laura and Tanbay paid for their trips by .A. staying in the house for freeB. being given food and day drinksC. going to Australia and other countriesD. looking after pets for rich house owners( )27. According to the passage, Taylor is a photographer who shares her photos .A. on the InternetB. during her travelC. with hundreds of followersD. during staying in hotelsBIt’s normal for parents to disagree and argue from time to time. Parents might disagree about money, housework or how to spend their time. They might even disagree about little things that d on’t important at all—like what’s for dinner or what timesomeone gets home.So, many times when parents disagree, they argue, anargument is a fight using words.Most kids worry when their argue. Loud voices and angry words can make kids feel afraid, sad or upset. Even silent arguments, like parents not talking to each other at all can upset kids.What does it mean when parents argue? First, just like kids, when parents get upset, they must cry, shot or say things they really don’t mean to. Sometimes an argument might not mean anything. Second, just like kids, parents might argue more if they are not feeling well, or if they have other worries.If your parents argue more often, you can talk to someone, like relatives, a teacher or any adult you trust. They can help by telling family members to listen to each other and talk about their feelings without shouting. Though it takes some work, time and practice, people in families can always learn to get along better.No family is perfect. Even in the happiest ones, things happen and people argue from time to time.Being part of a family means everyone joins in and tries to make life better for each other. When an argument happens at home, like to your parents and use love and understanding to solve the problems that have come up. Families can solve almost any problem.( ) 28. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “normal” in Chinese in Paragraph I?A. 常见的B. 令人害怕的C. 有趣的D. 没有规矩的( ) 29. “There are few happy and healthy families” is the key sentence.

When do parents argue?D. Try to make life betterCTo us, it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade(遮蔽)against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it，but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, back in the eleventh century BC.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and power. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece, but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it became a symbol of power.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colours.( )31. According to the passage, the umbrella was probably first used in ancient . A. Egypt B. Babylon C. Rome D. China( )32. They underlined word "royal" might mean " " in Chinese.A.皇室的B.富裕的C.中产的D.平民的( )33. According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true?A.

The style of the umbrella hasn't changed a lot since it was invented.DIt was Christmas Eve. When everyone went to bed, Bunny couldn’t fall asleep. He still couldn’t think of what he wanted as a special Christmas present. He wondered how Santa — Father Christmas would know what to bring him if he didn’t know himself.As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof(屋顶) and a sound downstairs. It was Santa Claus, he realized. Bunny jumped out of bed and ran down the hall to the stairs. He hoped to take a look at the old man before Santa left for his next stop.By the time Bunny was at the bottom of the stairs, everything was silent again. Lots of presents were put under the Christmas tree, but Santa was gone. A little disappointed(失望的), Bunny turned to climb back upstairs when he heard a cry.“Hello,” said Bunny. “Is somebody there?”He was answered by another cry. Bunny looked around the big pile of presents to see what was making the noise. Right under the tree was a funny looking brown animal with big feet and sad eyes. It also had antlers(鹿角) on its head. Bunny almost mistook it for a dog.“Are you a reindeer?” asked Bunny.“Yes,” replied the brown animal with antlers. “My name is Ralph.”“And you were pulling Santa’s sled(雪橇)?”“I was until I got air-sick,” replied Ralph. “Santa had to leave me here a nd go on with the other seven reindeer.”“Isn’t it a bit unusual for a reindeer to get air-sick? I mean, isn’t flying what reindeer are famous for?”“Not me, I’m afraid. It makes me scared. I always feel sick when it comes to flying,” replied Ralph. “But everyone wanted me to pull Santa’s sled, so when it was my turn I gave it a try. I’m afraid I just wasn’t cut out for the job. Now I’m stuck here and I don’t know how to get back to the North Pole.”“Well, if you like, you can stay with us as a friend,” said Bunny. As he made the offer, Bunny suddenly realized the special present he wanted from Santa was a new friend!( )34. Why couldn’t Bunny fall asleep on Christmas Eve?A. He wanted to take a close look at Santa Claus.B. He was waiting for his special present from his father.C. He was thinking about what present to get from Santa.D. He was woken up by a noise on the roof of his house.( )35. The underlined phrase “cut out” probably means .A. suitableB. famousC. readyD. bad( )36. What can we learn from the article?A. Ralph is a brown dog with antlers.B. Ralph is afraid of flying in the air.C. Bunny got a sled as a Christmas present.D. Bunny sent Ralph back to the North Pole.( )37.

球员，其中NBA首字母N发元音音素/en/，则应填写an．故选：B．当他是一名大学生的时候，他梦想成为一名NBA球员．本题考不定冠词的用法，基础题，熟悉a与an的用法，再根据题干即可作出选择，解题时也可用排除法．6.【答案】C【解析】略略略7.【答案】D考查形容词．A创造性的．B慷慨的．C谦虚的．D有组织的、有条理的．结合语境"--我们的班长林涛把他的东西收拾得井井有条．--没错，他很___，我们应该向他学习．"．可知，应该是"有条理的"．故选：D．--我们的班长林涛把他的东西收拾得井井有条．--没错，他很有条理，我们应该向他学习．形容词的种类有很多，要根据具体语境选择适当的形容词．抓住关键词语，分析用法，完成试题．8.【答案】A【解析】略略略9.【答案】A【解析】答案：A．考查动词．原句已经有助动词do了，因此C，D不正确．第二个空，on

he does badly in his lessons，可知他的功课非常糟糕，那么事实应该是否定的，用No来回答，故选D．--他几乎没有花费任何时间在他的功课上，是吗？--是的．因此他的功课非常糟糕．本题考查了反义疑问句的有关知识．解答时注意其主要形式：陈述部分肯定式+疑问部分否定式；陈述部分否定式+疑问部分肯定式．16.【答案】A【解析】略略略17.【答案】D【解析】答案：D．根据Tom

Don't try to cheat others．BDear Alice，You really have two different questions here，so we'll discuss them one at a time．Your problems at school may be a result of a number of things．You don't say much about how these classmates get along with each other．It's possible that all the students arefeeling a little cautious in the first term．It's also possible that the others are unkind．If this is so，you have to find out why you are the class"outsider"．In your letter you say you often offer to help others with their work．Is it possible that your classmates don't understand your offers？Could it seem that you were trying to"buy"friends with these offers？Is it possible that you took no notice of your classmates when you had your good friend near you？They may have felt hurt at that time．It may take a time for them to believe in you if so．Try to ask one classmate directly what the problem is．If you hear a negative （负面的）answer，at least you'11know what to do．Yours truly，Shelia35.In the letter Sheila talked about ______ possible reasons for Alice's problems．A. fourB. sixC. sevenD. eight36.Which of the following is NOT true according to the letter？______A.

Alice should get one negative answerD. Alice should buy friends with her offers．CWe know that many animals do not stay in one place．Birds，fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time．They move for different reasons：most of them move to find food more easily，but others move to get away from places that are too crowded．When cold weather comes，many birds move to warmer places to find food．Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed．The most famous migration （迁移）is probably the migration of fish，which is called"salmon"．This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water．There it spends its 1ife．When it is old，it returns to its birthplace in fresh water．Then it gives birth and dies．In northern Europe，there is a kind of mouse．They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded．They move down to the low land．Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside，and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea．Recently，scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster （龙虾）．Every year，when the season of the bad weather arrives，the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean．Nobody knows why they do this，and nobody knows where they go．So，sometimes we know why humans mad animals move from one place．to another，but at other times we don't．Maybe living things just like to travel．38.Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to ______ ．A. give birthB. enjoy warmer weatherC. find food more easilyD. find beautiful places39.The fish called"salmon"spends a 1ong time in ______ ．A. salt waterB. riversC. fresh waterD. its birthplace40.The mice in northern Europe move when ______ ．A. they give birthB. the place gets too crowdedC. the weather is badD. they haven't enough food41.The lobsters move ______ ．A. to the fresh waterB. at a certain timeC. to the underseaD. to find more food．DIf you look at the sky one night and see something moving and shining that you have never seen before，it might be a comet （彗星）．A comet sometimes looks like a star．Like a planet，a comet has no light of its own．It shines from the sunlight it reflects （反射）．Like the earth，a comet goes round the sun，but on a much longer path （轨道）than the earth travels．If a comet isn't a star，what is it then？Some scientists think mat a large part of a comet is water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron and rock dust and perhaps a few big pieces of rock．When sunshine melts（融化）the ice in the comet，great clouds of gas go trailing afterit．These clouds，together with the dust，form a long tail．Many people perhaps have seen a comet．However no one knows how many comets there are．There may be millions of comets，but only a few come close enough for us to see．An Englishman named Edmund Halley，who lived from 1656to 1742，found out a lot about the paths that comets take through the sky．Some comets move out of our sight and never come back．Others keep coming back at regular times．A big comet that keeps coming back was named after Halley because he was the one who worked out when it would come back again．Maybe you have ever seen Halley's Comets because the last time it came close to the sun and the earth was in the year 1986．Then people all over the world were outside at night to look at it．You will probably be able to see Halley's Comets when it comes near the earth again．42. A comet is like ______ ．A. sunB. moonC. sunlightD. the earth43.Maybe many people ______ ．A. haven't seen any cometsB. have seen all comets C，have seen a comet at daytime D．have seen a comet44.Some comets keep coming back ______ ．A. at any timeB. at noonC. at regular timesD. at daytime45.Halley's Comets came back ______ ．A. in 1990B. in 1980C. in 1986D. in 1989．四、选词填空-句子（本大题共1小题，共1.0分）46.-Do you think the film Go Away Mr Tumor （《滚蛋吧!肿瘤君》） is well______seeing？-Yes，The Chinese actress Bai Baihe plays．Xiong wonderfully in the movie and her humorou s performance showed Xiong's positive and strong attitude （态度） while dealing with the tumor．五、单词拼写-单句（本大题共12小题，共12.0分）47.In Liu Cixin's book，scientists found a planet with three suns，and the people on the planet______（创造）their own civilization （文明） called"three-body"．48.The date of September 3m was made the official commemoration （纪念） day for China's______（胜利）in me War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression （抗日战争）．49.
