( )71. . early rising people are than late rising people.a. fatter b. thinner c. healthier d. cleverer( )72. air is the freshest according to the passage.a. in the morning b. in the afternoonc. in the evening d. all the day( )73. which of the following is the result of early rising?a. people can get ready for their work. b. people can get fresh air.c. people can learn things more quickly and better. d. all of the above.( )74. if a man always likes to get up late, its for him to form the habit of getting up early.a. easy b. difficult c. happy d. sad( )75. as the english proverb says, can make us healthy, wealthy and wise.a. getting up early b. going to bed early c. getting up late d. both a and b第二部分 非选择题五、用所给词的适当形式填空（15分）1. they decided _(not go) to the park because they had too much work to do.2. many birds can live _ (comfortable) in zhalong all year round.3. ill watch the dolphin show alone if tom _ (be not) free tomorrow. 4. （luck），he got 59 scores and didnt pass the exam in the end.5. the little pets （die）makes me very sad。6. do you have problems _ (solve) the maths problem? 7. lucy often wears a _ (please) smile on her face. 8.we all hope mike _ (win) the match in the end.9.there _ (be)a wonderful film tonight, is there ?10. amy is feeling much _ (ill) than before after taking the medicine.11.without the guides help, the travelers couldnt find the way back by _ (they).12. they got the first place, so they were the _ (win) of the match.13. some wild animals may die soon because of the _ (lose) of their homes.14. the radio says that it will be much _(fog) tomorrow.15.do you know the _(important) of protecting wild animals.六.阅读表达。阅读短文，按要求完成短文后的各项任务。（10分）we live in the “computer age.” people like scientists, teachers, writers and students use computers to do all kinds of work. but more than 30 years ago, computers did not do much. they were very big and expensive.
