In some parts of the world there are “fire mountains”， which we call volcanoes. From time to time they burst open and throw out fire and burning ashes. These volcanoes are very dangerous. Hong Kong does not have any volcanoes but there are many volcanoes in Indonesia and Philippines. There is also a famous mountain near Tokyo, Japan, which is a volcano too. Its name is Mount Fuji. For much of the year，it is covered with snow. One of the most famous volcanoes which erupted in recent times was Krakatoa, on an island in Indonesia. The first explosions took place on 20th May, 1883, but the biggest eruption did not come until the 26th and 27th August of that year. The people on the island were used to the explosions by that time, and so they were completely unprepared for this terrible happening. Almost all the people on the island died and the explosion also made huge waves in the sea, which drowned (淹死) many people on the other island nearby. After the eruption was over，people saw that the whole northern part of the island had completely disappeared. Scientists say that 15 cubic (立方) kilometres of rocks and ash were thrown up in the explosion. The noise of the explosion was heard nearly 5,000 kilometres away in the middle of the Indian Ocean，and the city of Jakarta was completely dark for about two and a half hours.21.

Its first use was as a shade 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, way back in the eleventh century B.C.We know that the umbrella was also 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. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella most 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 wasnt until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors. 28.Ancient people first used umbrellas as _.

My friends and I participated a voluntary activity at a nursing home last week. We first did some cleaning or washing. After that we spend half an hour chat with the old people living there. Though it was a tired day, we were happy with that we did. I felt a sense of responsibility by visiting the old.

If they are willing to help others, our small action can make a bigger difference.第二节 书面表达 （满分25分）假设你是李华, 你的笔友Mike前不久从美国给你寄了一份新年礼物，他发电子邮件询问你是否收到，及你的寒假安排。请根据以下要点给他写一封回信。 内容要点如下:1 收到礼物，并表示感谢；2 寒假打算复习功课，锻炼身体和出门旅行；3 邀请他五一长假时到中国来玩儿。注意：1 词数100左右；2 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；3 开头语和结尾语已为你写好。Dear Mike,Yours,Li Hua答案解析部分一、阅读理解1.【答案】（21）D（22）B（23）B（24）C 【解析】【分析】21.从“In some parts of the world there are fire mountains， which we call volcanoes but there are many volcanoes in Indonesia and Philippines.”看出火山并不是到处都有，排除A项和B项，香港没有火山，排除C项，故选D项。22.从“The people on the island were used to the explosions by that time, and so they were completely unprepared for this terrible happening”看出当地的人们已经习惯了它的喷发，因此，当最大的喷发发生时，人们没有准备。23.从“The noise of the explosion was heard nearly 5,000 kilometres away in the middle of the Indian Ocean”看出几乎5000千米远的人们能够听到它的声音，故选B项，并不一定能够看到岩石和灰烬，排除A项。24.由“After the eruption was over，people saw that the whole northern part of the island had completely disappeared”的northern part看出排除B项；从“and the city of Jakarta was completely dark for about two and a half hours”看出选C项. 25-40题答案 ABD CBCB ACDB CGEAB二、完形填空【答案】（41）A；（42）D；（43）D；（44）C；（45）C；（46）B；（47）B；（48）A；（49）C；（50）D；（51）B；（52）B；（53）A；（54）D；（55）A；（56）B；（57）C；（58）C；（59）B；（60）C； 【解析】【分析】（1）客人来到饭店后，服务员最先拿来的是菜单，所以用menu；另外从文章第三段中也有明确的提示；brought him a menu again，这说明拿来的是菜单。故该题的正确答案为A项。（2）从文章的第一句的A blind man可知他是个盲人，故他肯定不能“读，看”，故该题的正确答案为D项。（3）推理判断题。从下面的Ill smell it可知是闻别人使用过的叉子，故应该是上一位顾客，所以要用last。故该题的正确答案为D项。（4）盲人怪异的做法，让老板感到有点“吃惊”(surprised)；他没有必要“羞愧”(ashamed)或者“高兴”(pleased)；也不会感到“害怕”(frightened)。故该题的正确答案为C项。（5）从那一堆餐具中“拿起”一个叉子，要用pick up。所以该题的正确答案为C项。（6）从上面的smell可知他要用鼻子闻；最后一段The blind man puts the fork to his nose都明确说明此处要用nose。故该题的正确答案为B项。（7）从上文中的老板感到奇怪，并且听到了盲人点的菜，和从下文中的他的所做可知他对盲人不相信，故应该unbelievable。所以该题的正确答案为B项。（8）从后面的the cook可知他是去了厨房。故该题的正确答案为A项。（9）从后文He tells his wife可知那个厨师就是他的妻子。故该题的正确答案为C项。（10）盲人再次来，所以用returned。故该题的正确答案为D项。（11）由于上次来过，而且老板给他拿了菜单，所以他又“再次”拿来，故应该用again。所以该题的正确答案为B项。（12）盲人来过一次了，从上文中老板的道歉，可知他这次还是没有“认出”那个盲人。故该题的正确答案为B项。（13）从前边的takes in a deep breath可知是盲人要闻味道，他要先深吸一口气。故该题的正确答案为A项。（14）此时他还是不相信，故用in disbelief。故该题的正确答案为D项。（15）从下文中老板的做法可知他要检验盲人的做法，故应该用test。所以该题的正确答案为A项。（16）这里老板是看到那个盲人来了，故应该用him。所以该题的正确答案为B项。（17）从后面的盲人闻到了Mary的味道，可知是把叉子送给盲人之前给她的，所以要用before。故该题的正确答案为C项。（18）从下面的I didnt know that Mary worked here可知盲人闻出了，所以可以判断出老板的妻子同意了他的做法，所以要用agreed。故该题的正确答案为C项。（19）从下句“Good afternoon, sir!
