Alison cornered me in the kitchen. “Daddy, I really want a rat.”"Again?” I saw the ugly grey things with round eyes and long tails in my mind. She wanted one of those in our 1?“No, Daddy, a pet rat kept at home."This topic was around in our family for about one year. This time, Alison told 2 seriously how she would take care of the rat herself, how she would learn to be 3 by doing so. I wanted to say “no” as usual, 4 it was not the right response for this situation. I suggested that Alison should 5 me that she would be responsible by researching some basic questions we had about 6 : How much do they cost? What care do they need?I thought the answers she found 7 change her mind. Alison searched for information and made many notes. She learned 8the best cage for rats is and what types of food they can (and can't) eat. She learned that two rats are 9 than one — they like staying together.Alison proved herself with her efforts, so I 10 finally. If she continued to do so, caring for the rats and preparing food for them, she would learn the responsibility we always wanted her to have.We 11 several pet stores, asking for baby rats. One store told us it just received some that would be ready on sale in a week. Alison was so 12 — her dream would come true soon.On Sunday afternoon, I drove Alison there. I must say, 13 seeing the rats, I found they were much cuter. Alison 14 picked out two little ones with her soft little hands. She cradled the cage with them, 15. We went back to our car, and huge smile was still on her face.“I can't believe I have them after a year of begging!"“It wasn't your begging,” I told her. “You showed me you were responsible so I wanted to reward that.”（1）A . houseB . storeC . schoolD . kitchen（2）A . meB . usC . herD . them（3）A . traditionalB . responsibleD . successful （4）A . ifB . soC . andD . but（5）A . askB . tellC . showD . surprise （6）A . careB . foodC . ratsD . money （7）A . mustB . needC . mightD . should （8）A . howB . whatC . whenD . where （9）A . moreC . betterD . quieter （10）A . agreedB . forgotC . escapedD . apologized （11）A . called upB . talked aboutC . heard fromD . looked after （12）A . angryB . excitedC . worriedD . nervous （13）A . afterB . sinceC . beforeD . without （14）A . hardlyB . quicklyC . proudlyD . carefully （15）A . eatingB . dreamingC . singingD . shouting三、阅读理解。

But he was also a theater producer, a part owner of an acting company and an actor. For most of his career, he was a producer and main writer for an acting company called the King's Men. Shakespeare is best known for the thirty—nine plays that he wrote, although only thirty—eight exist today. His plays are usually divided into three groups: comedies, histories and tragedies. Some of his most famous plays are Hamlet ,Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth and so on.Shakespeare was born in 1564 in England. At school he liked watching plays. He decided to be an actor when he finished school at the age of 14.He married Anne Hathaway at the age of 18.The couple had three children, two daughters and a son who died very young.In 1585,Shakespeare left his hometown. No one knows why he left or moved to London and joined a theater company which opened the Globe Theater in 1599.He made much money from it.He became an actor, and he also wrote plays. He usually acted in his own plays. He died in 1616. He left his money to his family. He left his genius to the world. Now you can still see his plays in English and in many other languages. He is one of the most famous writers in the world.（1）What was Shakespeare?A . A writerB . An actorC . A theater producerD . A,B and C（2）Shakespeare made much money from_______.A . writingB . actingC . opening the Globe TheaterD . selling his books（3）What's the meaning of th e underlined word “genius” in the passage?A . 房子B . 遗憾C . 悔恨D . 天赋（4）Which sentence is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A . Shakespeare died when he was 52 years old.B . Shakespeare married in 1582,and he had two daughters and a sonC . Shakespeare's plays are usually divided into three groups: comedies, histories and science fictions.D . No one knows why Shakespeare left his hometown at he age of 21.19. （8分）阅读理解For years, the word "popular", has been demonized(妖魔化)and made the same as mini-skirt-wearing, hair-coloring cheerleader types like Regina George in Mean Girls. Today, teachers and parents inform children that being popularis irrelevant(不相干的), unnecessary and a sure shortcut to upset, misery, and death. And some people describe popular students as the ones most likely to bum out and end up as nobody, while their less well-liked counterparts enjoy a life of wealth and fame.However, the Oxford English Dictionary defines(定义)popularity as:" TheState or condition of being liked, admired, or supported by many people' This sounds like a lovely thing, and is not related to such behaviors as "burn books” or "three-way phone calls" in Mean Girls.In fact, it is a truth widely acknowledged that young people who feel liked or supported are more likely to obtain impressive achievements than those who feel lonely, unvalued, and irrelevant socially.So why, then, is popularity given such a bad name? Why is this state of well-likedness so demonized?Basically, the hatred (恨) shown toward what appears to be a very pleasant thing is caused by lack of understanding. When we, as viewers, see characters such as Regina Georges on TV and in films, we recognize them to be popular. These characters, if not exactly liked, greatly admired by their peers(同伴).Our mistake comes when we try to understand their cruel and unkind actions using the deduction(推论)method.Humans are imperfect, and even the most intelligent mind is open to dishonesty through a very small slip in logic. Unfortunately, this occurs here with branding results.We first learn that a character is popular. Since this is important to the plot, it is constantly emphasized, leading it to be the most common thing in our minds when we consider the character.Later, we see that character do something unkind. The character's most noticeable characteristic (in our minds) is his/her popularity. And now the character is mean and unkind. This character is popular.Therefore, we jump to a quick conclusion (结论) that popular people are mean and unkind.Things such as improper behaviors and rumor-spreading are terrible and should always be seen in a very serious light. However, it is important to recognize that these are not the behaviors of popular people, but bullies.So, in summary, do not be afraid to be popular and have many friends. If you are kind to everyone and treat others with respect, there will be few who can criticize you, for being widely liked is not a curse but a blessing. Just remember that being popular does give you a degree of power, and with great power comes a large electricity bill!（1）The writer mentions the definition of popularity in paragraph 2 to ______.A . bring up his opinionB . give an exampleC . come to a conclusionD . offer his suggestion（2）What can we learn from the passage?A . Being popular might offer a shortcut to a life of wealth.B . Students who feel supported have a better chance to achieve more.C . Popular students are usually famous but mean and unkind.D . The less well-liked people consider being popular as something bad.（3）Paragraph 4 and 5 are mainly about ______.A . the importance of being admired by peersB . the ways to clear up some misunderstandingC . the advantages and disadvantages of being popularD . the reasons why people show hatred to being popular（4）The writer probably agrees that ______.A . cheerleader types will surely end up as nobodyB . being popular is unnecessary for most studentsC . treating others with kindness is beneficial to popular peopleD . famous people are likely to make mistakes and be criticized20. （8分）阅读下面短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项Life will probably be very different in 2050. First of all, it looks as though TV channels will have disappeared by 2050. Instead, people will choo se a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television.In future, computers will control the speed of cars and there won't be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are．By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. Besides, space planes will take people halfway around the world in two hours. Nowadays, the US Shuttle(航天飞机) can go into space and land on Earth again. By 2050,space planes will fly people from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.In the future, robots will replace people in many fields. Today many factories prefer robots because they don't ask for pay rises, or go on strike(举行罢工), and they can work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere—in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.Scientist will have discovered how to control genes(基因). Scientists have already produced clones(克隆) of animals. By 2050, they will be able to produce clones of people, and decide how they look, how they behave and how clever they are. Scientists will be able to do these things, but should they?（1）What will disappear by 2050?A . robotsB . waterC . TV channelsD . cars（2）What is NOT TRUE about the transportation in the future?A . There will be no more accidents.B . Computers will control the speed of space planes.C . Computers will tell drivers where they are and drive the car.D . It will take you just two hours from Los Angeles to Tokyo.（3）Why do big companies prefer robots to human?A . Because robots will go on strikes.B . Because robots are everywhere.C . Because robots don't require increase the payment.D . Because robots are more intelligent than human beings.（4）What is the author's attitude towards the cloning technology?A . The author does not support the use of cloning technology.B . The author thinks human cloning is impossible.C . The author does not really support the idea of human cloning.D . The author is quite excited about human cloning.四、词汇应用。

But are everybody's dreams the same? Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams，and thousands of students across China took part in it.What are the hopes of teenagers?We received several different answers to the question：What would you like to do after finishing your education? It seems some students would like to start work as soon as possible, so that they can help provide better lives for their parents. Other students hope to continue studying after finishing school and to go to university. Although money is important, many teenagers said they want to do jobs they enjoy. According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computer programming.What are the dreams of teenagers?Teenagers have all kinds of dreams. Some are more realistic(现实的) than others. For example, many students said they would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour guides. And quite a few said they dream of going to the moon one day. According to the survey, less realistic dreams are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams. Quite a few dream of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers. Some said they'd like to go on exciting trips; one student said she'd love to sail across the Pacific Ocean. And then there are dreams that are impossible; three students said they'd like to be able to fly!ConclusionIt was clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes. It seems that most students hope to have a good education and find a good job. Besides，students dream of very different things：good things, and even crazy things. It is very important to dream, so hold on your dreams； one day they may just come true.（1）Some students would like to start work to ______ as soon as possible.A . find jobs they enjoyB . achieve their dreamsC . to help look after their familiesD . make money to go to university（2）What is important to students about their work they do?A . If it is a good job.B . If they can enjoy the work.C . If it can help him become famous.D . If they can make more money.（3）How many realistic dreams are mentioned in the passage?A . Three.B . Four.C . Five.D . Six.（4）What example is given of an impossible dream?A . To be able to fly.B . To go to the moon.C . To sail across the Pacific Ocean.D . To become famous people.（5）What's the writer's opinion of dreams?A . Give up impossible dreams.B . Common dreams are not so good.C . Teenagers should have realistic dreams.D . Dreams are important and try to make them come true.12. （10分）阅读理解No matter where a video game is played, on a handheld device(装置), the Internet or the television, too much gaming is a bad thing. Playing too many video games is a problem for kids and there are many signs that show the negative(消极的) influences.If young people are always thinking about when they can play a video game, that is a sign that they have lost themselves in it. If they give up other hobbies that they used to love, that is also a problem. Many kids who choose to spend all their free time playing video games will make up ways to play the game instead of communicating with others. Leaving sports teams or clubs, refusing to go outside to play with friends, and choosing to stay home from birthday parties are all signs that video games have taken over the child's attention.In addition to negative behaviours, there are health problems from playing too many video games. If video game players skip meals or lose sleep because they stayed up too late playing games, this can negatively influence their health. Sitting in front of a game for more than two hours a day instead of getting up and being active can result in childhood obesity(肥胖症). Moreover, backaches, headaches and strained(紧张的) eyes can be caused by playing too many video games.（1）The writer thinks _________ is a problem for kids that causes negative influences.A . watching too much TVB . buying many handheld devicesC . chatting too much onlineD . playing video games too often（2）If a child is crazy about video games, he or she may __________.A . keep thinking of playing themB . play outdoors instead of staying homeC . like to hold parties with friendsD . eat more than he or she usually does（3）What kind of problem will video game addiction(成瘾) cause according to the passage?A . Higher chance of foot pain.B . Longer time of sleep.C . Lower speed of heartbeats.D . Less interest in exercise.（4）What is the main idea of the passage?A . How to avoid playing video games.B . The signs and the harm of video game addition.C . Reasons of stop making video games.D . What happens to children without enough exercise.（5）You may find this passage in _________ .A . a newspaperB . a fashion magazineC . a storybookD . a guidebook13. （10分） When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive. One of my father's friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie's place. We'd sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal.Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we'd bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest.Bernie was my father's idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie's wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don't take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life's small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.For many years, I forgot that lesson I'd learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.Well, I've relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That's the heart of the watermelon.

One story says the expression began in the theater. New actors, shaking with fear, were told that their only way out was to go out and face the music. The music was played by the musicians seated in front of the stage.A similar expression is "face up to". It means to accept something difficult or painful. For example, a man must face up to the fact that he lied about a business deal and will lose his job.A child was told off by his mother at home because of his bad grades in study, but he put a good face on it before his friends.Meeting someone face-to-face can be exciting, especially if the other person is famous. It is an expression one might use after visiting the White House and meeting the president face to face. Or a teacher might ask for a face to-face meeting with the parents of a student in trouble.Almost 500 years ago, William Shakespeare also used some words about music in his play Two Gentlemen of Verona. Valentine secretly loves Lady Sylvia. His servant jokes that Valentine's love for her is as hard to see as the nose on a man's face, thus creating another expression: as plain as the nose on your face. Of course, a man's nose can't be hidden.（1）When you have done something wrong, don't .A . face the musicB . face up to itC . put a good face on itD . do it face-to face（2）The underlined phrase "as plain as the nose on your face" in the last paragraph means something that .A . is hard to seeB . can be coveredC . is very dearD . can be funny（3）The passage is probably taken from a .A . radio programB . TV talk showC . public speechD . personal letter24. （5分）A )信息归纳根据下面短文的内容完成信息卡。
