the horses heard them, too. they were frightened and began running faster. then i saw long, gray forms among the trees, and soon the wolves were near us. they were running very fast, and they didnt seem to get tired like the horses.”“what did you do?” one of jacks friends asked.“when the wolves got very near,” jack answered, “i put up my gun and shot the first wolf. the sleigh was moving about, but i hit the animal and killed it. then all the other wolves stopped and ate it, so our sleigh got away from them for a few minutes.”“then they finished their meal, and i heard them coming again. the moon was shining brightly on the snow now, and after a few minutes i saw them running among the trees once more. they came nearer again, and then i shot another of them, and the others stopped once more to eat it.”“the same thing happened again and again, and my horses became more and more tired and ran slower and slower until, after about two hours, only one wolf was still alive and following us.”“wasnt it too fat to run?” one of his friends asked.51. jack told his friends what happened to him when he was _.a. in england one winter evening b. in russia one winter eveningc. in america one winter evening d. in russia one winter morning52. according to what jack said, the last wolf_.a. was the strongest of all b. had eaten all the other wolves c. ran much faster than the other wolves d. was very fat and didnt run fast enough53. from what jacks friend said we know that _.a. all the wolves had been shot by jack b. the last wolf was too fat to runc. the friend did not believe what jack had said d. jack was telling the truthdgrammar is the way a language works. people sometimes describe grammar as the “rules” of a language; but in fact no natural languages have rules. if we use the word “rules”, we believe that some people have made the rules first and now people speak the language, like a new game. but languages did not start like that. languages were started by people making sounds which gradually(渐渐地) changed into words, phrases, and sentences. no commonly-spoken language is fixed. all languages change over time. what we call grammar is simply a description(描述) of a language at a particular time.so think of grammar as something good, something helpful, something that you can use to find your way like a signpost(路标) or a map.54. the writer of this passage believes that if grammar is described as “rules”, it would mean that _.a. language is not a new game b. language goes before grammarc. rules are fixed by language d. rules must be made to speak the language55. in the first paragraph, we can see that _.a. grammar should be changed at a particular timeb. grammar must be simple to describe a languagec. languages were formed by people now and thend. language is changing, and its grammar is changing too56. the writer thinks that grammar helps when _.a. we learn a foreign language b. we ask someone to make rulesc. we speak our native language d. we look up something in a book57. which of the following can be the best title for this passage?a. grammar is the rules of a language b. the change of languagec. grammar is your friend d. how to study grammar第卷 主观题 （共40分）四、词形变换（本大题共8分，每小题1分）1. hepburn is a great actress. her _(成就) have gone beyond the film industry.2. to my _(惊讶), the boy can play basketball very well. i thought he couldnt.3. im sure it will be one of your wrong _(决定)on that matter.4. many people are _(反对) smoking in public places.5. in his _(forty), he got a nice present from his lovely daughter.6. you can see the _(sad) on her face because she cant find her lovely dog.7. i _(simple) cant believe what she told me yesterday.8. im sure you will find this book _(value) after you read it a second time.五、动词填空（本大题共8分，每小题1分）1. did you have difficulty _(solve) this difficult problem yesterday?2. youve left the light on. oh，im sorry. i _(go) and turn it off.3. would you please _(not disturb) him when he is reading english.4. i _(think) of my plan for the may day holiday when my friend called me yesterday afternoon.5. i cant ride to school today, because i _ (lose) the key to my bicycle.6. dont worry about the boy. ill let you know as soon as he _(leave) my house.7. how heavily it _(rain)!
