be句型表示"某地（或某时）存在有某人（或某物），句中有若干个名词作主语，动词be常与后面主语中的第一个名词在数上一致．have一般表示某人有某物．结合语境可知本句表示计划打算的事情，故用一般将来时态，故选B．请注意，在我们班和五班之间有一场篮球比赛．考查学生对there be句型的知识点和句子的时态判断这两个方面的掌握．3.【答案】C【解析】答案：C 根据题干，可知这是考查It's+adj+of/for+sb+to do sth．（去做某事对某人来说是…样的）当形容词是人的品质时用of，如果形容词是形容事情…样．那么就用for．故选C．对人们来说学习团队精神是很重要的．本题考查固定句式：It's+adj+of/for+sb+to do sth．注意区分of与for的区别是做题的关键．4.【答案】B【解析】答案：B．根据"I was out of breath when I got

John可知这里except的意思是除了，后面谓语动词的选用要看except前面的主语，本句中except前面的主语是everyone，它作主语的时候谓语动词应该用单数形式，再根据when the meeting began，这里句子使用的是一般过去时，所以前面的句子的时态也应该用一般过去时，这里be动词的一般过去时的单数形式是was．故选D．当会议开始的时候，除了Tom和John没来，每个人都在这．本题主要考查谓语动词的选用．解答时注意except的用法：except的意思是除了，后面谓语动词的选用要看except前面的主语．9.【答案】C【解析】答案：C根据语境，可知是乘交通工具．在英语中，可用"by+交通工具名词"表示交通方式，此时交通工具的名词只能用单数，不能用复数；也可用"take

My speed(速度) seems amazing to the walkers and I often pass by them twenty or more times around the track. This makes me feel proud(骄傲).One day, a short man came. He didn't look like much of a runner. I saw him get out of the car and warm up before running when I passed by two walkers. He started running a few meters ahead of me. He was fast but I sped up and managed to catch up with him. I had someone to compete with. But after a lap(圈), I fell behind him and had great difficulty in breathing(呼吸). After two laps, my foot began to hurt, so I had to slow down and began to run at my usual speed. This time I could breathe again without sounding like I had a lung disease(肺病) and the pain in my foot went away. In a very short time, he was far ahead. He was too fast for me to follow.That day, I learnt several lessons. In life, there will always be those slower and faster. Some have natural talent( 天赋), and some have trained harder. Don't tell whether a person is capable or not by how he or she looks.The point is that we each have our own speed. When we are trying to keep up, we often end up hurting ourselves and being out of breath. Slow down or speed up, but run your race to your best. Don't run fast when you should be running slowly. Don't run at all when you should be walking. Don't walk when you should be running.9. What did the writer think of the short man when he first saw himA. He was an excellent runner.B.

In a newspaper.B. In a history book.C. On a school website.D. In a science magazine.BIf you are a fan of Chinese culture, Dunhuang is a must-visit placefor you. And Glory Is Back is a must-see show for you.This show has 10 episodes(集). In each of the episodes, a famoushost teaches a group of young people to learn and feel the rich culture in Dunhuang. They learn about the frescoes(湿壁画), music, traditions, foods, sports and even fashions in this city. From this show, they get to know what happened more than one thousand years ago. Also in the show, they meet some people who work hard to protect(保护) the cultural treasures (宝物) in Dunhuang. The workers try their best to make us see the great treasures today.The director of the show thought of the idea of creating a show about Dunhuang during a two-week trip there.“Dunhuang is a wonderful place. Once you visit it, you'll never forget about it and always want to go back there. The frescoes will slowly die out one day, so we made this show to call on people to protect them，” said the director.In order to protect the frescoes from the light of cameras, the director and his team didn't use any cameras in the caves(洞窟). Luckily, the digitization (数字化)of the frescoes helped them a lot.Want to know more about Dunhuang? Just watch the show now.5.

The Past Life in DunhuangB. A Trip to DunhuangC. Ways to Protect Dunhuang FrescoesD. A TV Show About DunhuangCThere is a famous saying in the West: Eat breakfast like a king. It means breakfast should be the most important meal of your day. Why?The answer is in the word “breakfast” itself. Breakfast means “breaking of the fast(禁食期)”. There is about twelve hours between supper and breakfast, so it's important to eat breakfast to keep in good health. Also, the food for breakfast will give you energy to use during the day.Eating a good breakfast is important, but not many people are changing their eating habits. In the US, about 66% of people have their main meal in the evening. For most Japanese and Australians, the evening meal is the main meal of the day, too.In Mexico, the main meal for many families is usually at 2: 00 pm. In Switzerland, the main meal is also in the middle of the day.Many nutritionists (营养学家) say people should eat small, low-fat (低脂肪的) meals five or six times a day. But most people think that what you eat is more important than when you eat it. Eating healthy foods like vegetables, fish and fresh fruit is a good way to enjoy a healthy life.9. The second paragraph mainly tells us ____.A. when we should have breakfastB. why breakfast is importantC. what food we should have for breakfastD. where we should have breakfast10. The underlined part “not many people are changing their eating habits” means____.A. many people know breakfast is importantB. it's not difficult for many people to change their eating habitsC. there are many people not having a good breakfastD. many people have the habit of eating healthy food11. People in ____ have their main meals in the middle of the day.A. Japan and AustraliaB. Japan and MexicoC. Mexico and SwitzerlandD. Australia and Switzerland12. Who thinks people should eat meals five or six times a day?A. Most people.B. Some doctors.C. A few old people.D. Many nutritionists.DPeople in Denmark have happy lives. Why? Because they know the secret (秘密) to happiness—“hygge”.“Hygge” is a special way of life. Danish people often use the word to tell the way they spend long and cold winter days. With almost 17 hours of darkness every day in winter, they spend more time indoors. At that time, Danish people often get together for a meal or hot drinks. After winter, when it's not so cold, “hygge” can be picnics in the park, parties in the garden and outdoor movie nights.However, playing on your phone at home all day is the least “hygge” thing. TV is okay, but you'd better ask some friends to watch movies with you, as staying together is another key part of being “hygge”.For Danish people, lighting candles (点蜡烛) is the most important part ofcreating an environment (环境) of “hygge” at home. They light more candles each year than any other European country.In a word, “hygge” is about creating a warm environment and enjoying the little simple things in life. By making some small changes to your life, you can practice this way wherever you are.13. Which of the following are ways of “hygge”？①Having a meal with family②Having a picnic in the park③Playingcomputer games alone④Watching movies with friends⑤Holding a party in the gardenA. ①②③⑤B. ①③④⑤C. ①②④⑤D. ②③④⑤14. Why do Danish people light a lot of candles each year?A. To bring more light in the room.B. To spend winter days quickly.C. To keep themselves warm.D. To create an environment of “hygge”.15. What is the structure (结构) of the passage? (①＝Paragraph 1，②＝Paragraph2, …)16. What's the best title for the passage?A. How to live a happier life than othersB. How to make “hygge” famousC. Danish people's secret to happinessD. Danish people's secret to making friends第二节阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。
