（每空一词)Nature’s WarningsWhen the sky suddenly turns dark and the wind is strong, beware! A dangerous storm might be coming. Storms are frightening. Watch for flashes of lightning. Listen for thunder. If nature sends these warnings, don’t wait for rain. Act right away to keep safe.Steps to keep safeAt the first flash of lightning, quickly get inside a building or a car. Do not go into a shed or baseball dugout. They are not closed like a building, so they are not safe.Even after you are indoors, be careful. It is not smart to go near doors and windows. They can blow in or break. A room with no windows is the safest place to be.Do not wash your hands during a storm. Do not use anything that runs on electricity either. Water and electrical lines are like roads for lightning. Even if you really want to play computer games, don’t! It is better to be bored than to risk getting hurt. Try reading a book instead. Reading is more fun than playing computer games.If you can’t get to somewhere safe, stay out in the open. You may feel safe under a tree, but that is not a good place to be. Lightning is pulled toward tall poles and trees. Stay down low in an open space and cover your ears to protect them. Loud thunder can damage your hearing.76. dark 77. waiting 78.

（每空一词)Today almost everyone has a smart phone .Phone booths(电话亭) are out of date and seem to be useless. But cities like Shanghai are trying to bring the old phone booths to life.Shanghai will make changes to 263 phone booths in Xuhui District. The Library Booth is one of the six new kinds of booths, offering 60 booths for people to borrow and read. Another kind allows users to listen to audiobooks( 有声书)and even record their own voices.Shanghai is not the only city trying to save the old phone booths. London cares about them even more, because the red booths have long been a special scene in London since the 1930s when they were painted all red. In recent years London has tried to help phone booths stay useful. The UK company British Telecom has added screens and free WiFi to some booths. Users can use them to surf online and search for maps and weather reports. The company also allows people to rent(租)some booths to change them as they want to. Since 2009, more than 1,500 phone booths have been turned into flower shops, mini-cafes, art museums and even shower rooms.In New York City, three phone booths in Time Square are turned into places for immigrant(移民) voices. When visitors pick up the phone, they can listen to oral(口述) histories of immigration from the newest New Yorkers. They can also open the books inside the booth to know more about the storytellers. Or they can share a part of their own stories if they wish.Phone booths are finding creative ways to live on. Will they succeed? Only time will tell.Phone booths六、任务型阅读（每小题1分，计10分）76 popular 77.save 78.Shanghai 79. Library 80.recordeful e 83.read 84.share 85.time邗江区2017-2018六、任务型阅读（共10空；每空1分，计10分）阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。
（每空一词)Oct. 16 is World Food Day. The UN started the day in 1979. It reminds people not to waste food and fight hunger.A number of people in the world still don’t have enough food to eat. The food shortage(短缺) is a big problem all over the world. Now, there are more than 1000 million hungry people in the world according to the UN. Many children go to sleep hungry, and 15 million of them die of hunger each year.There are several reasons for food shortage. First, there are more natural disasters. Also, a growing population(人口) makes feeding everyone more difficult.Another big reason is food waste. Most people don’t realize how much food they throw away every day. The average(平均的) person throws away 50kg of food every year. According to the UN, more than one third of all food goes to waste each year.Over 1,300 billion kilograms of food is wasted each year. The food wasted in Europe can feed 200 million people, while in Latin America 300 million a year.So think twice before you throw away food. You’d better order as much food as you can eat at a restaurant. If you can’t eat all, take the rest home. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much. Don’t cook too much.When you throw away food, you are not just wasting the food itself. Resources(资源), such as energy, time and water, are also wasted while growing and cooking. So everyone should know that it is important to save food. Saving food is saving ourselves.Title: Introduction to World Food Day六、任务型阅读（每小题1分，计10分）76. waste 77.Over 78.Reasons 79.disasters rger81.serious 82.Ways 83.Don ’t/Never 84.keep/cook 85.importance 江都区2017-2018 六、任务型阅读（共10空；每空1分，计10分）阅读短文并根据短文内容完成表格。

Tim Berners﹣Lee is not the most famous inventor in the world. However, his invention has changed our lives.He was born in London, England in 1955. When he was a small boy, Tim was interested in playing with electrical things. He studied science at Oxford University. He made his first computer from an old television at the age of 21. Tim started working on early computers. At that time, they were much bigger than now. He worked in England then Switzerland. Tim was really interested in two things, computers and how the brain works. How could the brain connect so many facts so quickly? He had to work with people all over the world. They shared information about computers. It was hard to manage all the information. He answered the same questions again and again. It took a lot of time. It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information. Tim also forgot things easily. Could a computer work like a brain? Could ________"talk" to other computers?There was an Internet already but it was difficult to use. In 1989, Tim Berners﹣Lee invented the World Wide Web （WWW）all by himself. This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet. When people wanted to share information with others, they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that.Tim Berners﹣Lee doesn't think he did anything special. He says that all of the ideas about the Internet were already there. All he did was to put them together. He says that many other people worked together to make the Internet what it is today.Most inventors want to become rich. But Tim gave away the World Wide Web for nothing. He now works in America. He helps people share technology and wants the Internet to be free for everyone to use.

During the winter, temperatures average ﹣50 degrees Celsius. The village recorded an all﹣time lowest in 2013 when temperatures went down to ﹣72 degrees Celsius. Amos Chapple is a reporter from New Zealand. In 2015, he traveled to Oymyakon to see what life was like there. The experience, he said, was "unforgettable". "Saliva（唾液） would freeze into needles that would prick （扎）my lips. My hands would freeze to wild pain, " he added. "It's hard to take pictures. My camera would often get too cold to work as usual."Around 500 people now live in Oymyakon. Though the conditions are terrible, people ride bikes and even go swimming. Fish markets are open. Frozen fish stand straight in boxes. Customers in heavy winter clothes walk by them.It's impossible to grow crops in Oymyakon. The local diet is mostly meat﹣based. The meat is sometimes eaten frozen. The local people actually love cold food.And the freezing weather doesn't prevent children from going to the classroom. Usually, schools in Oymyakon won't close until temperatures drop below ﹣46 degrees Celsius. Now, do you feel lucky that you live in Yangzhou?

One year, I had a fall at home and was on the floor for 16 hours. During this time, I was unable to move and couldn't get to the phone to call for help. Tiger stayed by my side until he disappeared under my bed. ‘What's he up to? ' I wondered. To my surprise, he started to push something towards me. It was my iPad, which I didn't realize had fallen off the bed and onto the floor. He probably didn't know what it was, but he knew that it made me happy. Thanks to Tiger, I was able to call my friend, Becky, who then told my doctor."The second story is from Colin. "Years ago, my friend Julius saved a bird﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣a wild ‘Mom' parrot from the side of the road and kept it as a pet in a big cage. It lost one of her wings, so she was unable to return to the wild. Soon, two wild parrots came visiting and one ‘Dad' bird wanted to find his way into the cage. The ‘Mom' parrot in the cage was soon hoping. But as she couldn't fly, ‘Dad' parrot built a home in the tree, keeping off everyone who got close to ‘Mom' parrot. ‘Baby' parrot would spend his days flying off with his dad, leaving his mom behind. She would sit and wait until they returned home each afternoon. The family stayed together happily."After reading the stories, don't you think we should get along well with animals? No matter they are our pets or live in the wild, they have their feelings. We should care for every life in the world.（1）"Mom" parrot didn't return to the wild because________.A. she was badly hurt and couldn't flyB. Julius caught it as a petC.

On Christmas Eve, he wanted to give his housekeeper Jack a big present.He told Jack, “There are four bo wls of thick soup here. I put two gold coins in one of the bowls. Dear Jack, let’s see if you’re lucky.”Jack wanted the gold coins very much, but he was not sure which bowl was the right one. He began to eat some soup from the first bowl.Suddenly, he felt the gold coins should be in the second bowl, so he turned to it and had half the soup.He then ate half the soup in the third bowl, too. After that he started to get a little worried.At last, he changed his mind. He ate half of the soup in the fourth bowl with much difficulty — at this moment Jack was too full to eat any more.In the end, he didn’t get even one gold coin.In fact, George had put two coins in each bowl.

Because Jack chose the wrong bowl for the first time.CIn nearly every language, two words rhyme with each other when they have the same ending sound, like “think” and “pink”. The last word in each of the lines of a poem does not have to have a rhyming sound. But many of them do. Two lines of poetry that rhyme with each other at the end are called a rhyming couplet(对句).Writing rhyming poetry can be difficult because you need to choose words that not only rhyme, but have meaning too. Even though some poems are short, you have to think extra long about which words to choose. Here is an example of a short poem.He was only a bug, but he was the king.She smiled at him when he gave her a ring.He forgot to be careful of one little thing.His queen was a bee, and she could sting.If you love singing, it will not be difficult for you to find rhymes in lyrics(歌词) in both English and Chinese songs. Rhymes can make the songs sound more beautiful. Sometimes we may find a song lyric is just a poem. So perhaps we can say a lyricist of songs must be a poet.57. What does it mean when two words rhyme?A. They must have the same meaning.B. They must have the same letters.C. They must have the same sound at the end.D. They must have the same rhyming couplet.58. Which two words rhyme with each other in the given short poem?A. Ring and thing.B. All and ball.C. Queen and king.D. Singing and dancing.59. Rhyming poetry is something hard to write because you need to choose .A. two lines with rhymingB. rhyming words with meaningC. the same words with rhymingD. two words with the same meaning60. According to the passage, we can know_________.A. A lyricist can write beautiful poemsB. We can hardly find rhymes in words of songsC. Rhyming happens in only English and ChineseD. The last word in each line of a poem must rhyme with each otherDI’m learning English in the UK where I meet a lot of new friends and eat something delicious. Hot pot is many Chinese people’s favourite food, including me. After having three days of hamburgers, sandwiches and potatoes in the UK, How excited I was to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students. On the way to the canteen, I seemed to smell the hot pot in the air.To my surprise, when I stepped into the room, in front of me were still potatoes and bread. Where was the hot pot?With many questions in my head, I sat down to have the free meal. After talking with a French girl, I got to know that hot pot is completely different from hotpot. Chinese hot pot is written in two words and hotpot, one word, is a traditional English dish.Hotpot is made from mutton(羊肉) and onion(洋葱). On the top there are sliced potatoes. People put it in the oven(炉子) all day in a heavy pot and on a low heat. You can often see it at parties in the UK because it’s easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive.Hotpot doesn’t taste bad. However, I still miss hot pot, two words!61. The writer felt excited when she thought that she would _________________.A. meet some Chinese friendsB. have a chance to try some new foodC. have her favorite foodD. learn more about English culture62.

（共10题，每小题1分，计10分）Dear Seth,You’re a 3-year-old boy, and at this point in your life you can’t read, much less understand what I’ll tell you in this letter. But I’ve been thinking a lot about the life that you have ahead of you, and about my role as a dad in trying to prepare you for the troubles that you’ll face.Here is some advice (建议) for you. But what works for me might not work for you.Life can be cruel (残酷的)There will be people in your life who won’t be very friendly.They’ll laugh at you or try to hurt you because you’re different. There’s not much you can do except learn to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you and who make you feel good about yourself. When you find friends like this, treasure them, spend time with them and love them.Be open to life anywayYes, you’ll find cruelty and suffering (苦难) in your journey through life, but don’t let that close you to new things. Don’t move back from life, don’t hide and don’t wall yourself off. Be open to new things, new experiences, new people.Life isn’t a competitionYou will meet many people who will try to do better than you, in school, in college, at work. To them, life is a competition. But here’s the secret: life isn’t a competition.It’s a journey. Learn to enjoy the journey and make it a journey of happiness, of learning, of improvement and of love.Love should be your ruleIf there’s a single word you should live your life by, it should be this: love. It might sound out of date, I know, but trust me, there’s no better rule in life. Love not only your loved ones, but your neighbors, your co-workers, strangers, even your enemy. The person who is hardest on you, unkind to you …, love him. He is most in need of your love. And most of all, love yourself and learn to love yourself for who you are.Finally, know that I love you and always will. You are starting out on an unknown, tiring, scary, but wonderful journey, and always remember I will be there for you when I can.Love,Your Dadof improvement and of love.Love should be your rule It’s the 64 rule in life.●Learn to love 65 for who you are .●Love anyone around you.II. 任务型阅读，根据短文内容完成表格所缺信息，每空一词。

（共10空；每空1分，满分10分）In the desert of North Africa and Saudi Arabia lives the smallest of all foxes with the largest of ears. This animal is the fennec fox (耳廓狐).Fennec foxes have ears that are 5 to 6 inches long. That’s big for ananimal that weighs less than four pounds. Their ears help shed (去除) bodyheat. And, as you may have guessed, they also provide great hearing.It’s also interesting to think about the hair of fennec foxes. Why woulda fox that lives in the desert need a thick fur coat? In fact, the desert isn’t always warm. During the nighttime, a desert can be terribly cold! A fennec fox’s fur keeps them warm during those desert nights. They also have long bushy tails and they use them as a blanket. And the hair on their feet protects them from the hot sand in the daytime.Fennec foxes live in small communities of dens (兽穴). They spend most of the day sleeping in their dens, out of the hot sun. Then, when night comes, they come out in search of food. Fennecs also use their great sense of smell and big eyes to track down dinner.Like other foxes, fennecs are omnivores (杂食动物). This means they eat both meat and plants. They like eating birds, eggs, insects, snails, fruit and leaves best.Fennec fox mothers have one to five babies at a time. A fennec fox can live up to 10 to 12 years. However, they’re facing different problems. First, they have to protect themselves fr om predators (捕食性动物),such as caracals (a type of wild cat), jackals, eagle owls, hyenas. Also, humans catch them for their fur and to sell as pets.Fennec Foxes71 areas Deserts of north Africa and Saudi ArabiaAppearance They are the 72 of all foxes with the largest of ears.答案71.
