Every time my friends visit me, my nose is buried in a book. Wherever I go, I always have a book with me. Novels, history books, stories about people, journals and newsI read them all and Ive learnt a lot, too. For example, many things in life happen for the best even if we dont like or understand them. Why is reading such an enjoyable pastime for me? I probably first learned about it from my parents. My mother read to me at night in my childhood and bought me picture books. The greatest gift she has given me is a love for reading. And it will be a life-long habit. No one ever asked me why I liked to read. They just saw me and asked, “Oh? Is that for school work?” And I just shook my head, “No. Its just for fun.” While reading a good book, I can totally forget myself and fly to another world. Its like exploring through someones eyes, which is just as exciting as watching a movie. Reading is also necessary in order to learn about writing, to improve my use of words and phrases and broaden my knowledge. What a pity to see our imagination disappear, for we dont exercise it often. Reading can even be good for ones health, I think. Everyone should read sad stories that make us cry and also books with humor that make us laugh out loud!21. Among the gifts my parents have given me, which is the most valuable one?A. A love for reading. B. Picture books.C. Good health. D. A lovable pastime.22. In the fourth paragraph, the author thinks reading can _. A. make his parents happyB. finish his school workC. improve writing and broaden knowledgeD. help him understand some movies23. If we dont use our imagination often, _. A. it is bad for our healthB. we will soon learn how to writeC. it will help us to have a good restD. it will soon disappear 24. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Why do I have few friends?B. What are my life habits?C. Why do I love reading?D. Why do things happen for the best?BI believe children have a very pure sense of humor. Well, I would like to share my experiences with you. The other day when I was out with a friend and her daughter Jane at a restaurant, Jane ordered an apple dessert, which was the most attractive dish in that restaurant. However, when she had a bite of the pie, she shouted loudly, “Mom, why does it look good but tastes like rubber?” My friend was uneasy. Then the waiter gave us another dish. A child can say funny things. I was at a friends home for tea and her son, Mark, wanted her to get up. His mom replied, “I cant, because my foot has fallen asleep now.” Little Mark then sang a song and asked, “Mom, will it wake up now?” We laughed together.The other day we were having an interesting conversation over lunch and my friend, an animal activist (积极分子) , was arguing with another group member. Her son Tommy suddenly stood up, “Mom, people should never be allowed to shoot extinct (灭绝的) animals!” That was funny and the child did manage to turn the argument into a pleasant conversation. Well, children sometimes really surprise us. I think we can have a lot to learn from them. They can help us understand the simple world through their eyes. 25. Why did Jane shout loudly in the restaurant?A. She wanted to make us laugh. B. She thought her dish was attractive.C. She wanted another piece of dessert. D. She didnt like the flavor of her food.26. Why did Mark try to sing a song?A. He wanted to help his mother fall asleep. B. He was trying to wake up his mothers foot.C. He wanted to get some tea to drink. D. He would like to get some attention.27.What Tommy said made the whole group _.A. have a pleasant conversation B. stop their conversation C. all argue with him at once D. stand up and laugh happily28. The author _ to show how lovely children are.A. points out differences B. gives live examples C. explains the causes D. lists common numbers C The Chinese name system has a long history. Today, there are over 700 different Chinese family names, but as few as twenty cover most of the Chinese family names. Most Chinese family names have only one character, but there are a few with two. Chinese family names are written first, something that often causes confusion among those from countries where the family name usually comes last.Generally speaking, Chinese given names have one or two characters, and are written after the family names. When a baby was born, parents often give him/her a “milk name” or “little name”, such as Xiaobao. The given name is then chosen somewhat later, but the parents may continue to use the nickname. Given names of males are linked with strength and firmness while females with beauty and flowers. Females sometimes have names that repeat a character. Chinese personal names may also reflect periods of history. For example, many Chinese born during the Cultural Revolution have “revolutionary names”, such as “Guoqiang”, “Dongfeng”, or even “Wenge”! Chinese married women usually keep their maiden names (娘家姓) as their family names, rather than use the names of their husband, and children usually use their fathers family name.With a limited supply of family names, Chinese depend on using given names to introduce variety in naming. Almost any character with any meaning can be used. However, it is not considered appropriate (合适) to name a child after a famous person and highly impolite after an older member among the family or even distant relatives.29. From the passage, we know that _.A. women should change their family names after getting marriedB. childrens nicknames are not used when they grow upC. people usually name their children after some famous people D. Chinese family names usually have only one character 30. Some Westerners may feel confused when they find _.A. Chinese family names are written at the beginning before given namesB. Chinese family names are written at the end of the full namesC. there are so many Chinese people using the same family nameD. there are only 700 Chinese names for people to choose from31. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Chinese names? A. Some Chinese family names may have two characters. B. Only a few characters could be used as given names.C. Children dont like their nicknames given by their parents.D. Children can be named after their grand-parents names.DImagine when you are sailing an ocean for the first time, you see a big fish swimming near your ship. You might be scared, and worried about whether it will turn over your ship for a meal. In fact, it is not a fish at all, but a gentle giant whale. Whales are not fishes but mammals (哺乳动物). Their body temperature stays the same, and does not change with the temperature of their environment. They breathe air, so they have to come out of the water to get oxygen. Thus, they cannot afford to fall into a sleeping state for too long, since they need to be awake in order to breathe. It is thought that only half of their brains sleep at a time, so that whales are never completely asleep. Females give birth to the young. They have hair. Although they are not covered in hair or fur like many mammals, whales have some bristles (胡子), usually on their heads. Whales are highly social animals with complex languages and intelligence. They communicate with each other using romantic sounds, called “whale songs”. Being so large and powerful, these sounds are also loud.Whales are endangered as a result of whaling (捕鲸) from the eleventh century to the twentieth. It has attracted the attention of environmentalists and some measures (措施) have been taken to protect whales.32. How many aspects show that whales are mammals?A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.33. We can infer from the second paragraph that _.A. whales can breathe in the waterB. if a whale sleeps too long, it will get drownedC. in order to breathe, whales never sleepD. whales give birth to the young on the land34. How do whales communicate with each other?A. By body language. B. By speaking languages.C. By making song-like sounds. D. By giving off a smell.35. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Whales are cold-blooded mammals like fishes.B. Whales are hunted for food by people.C. Whales are very harmful to human beings.D. Whales are in danger because of being killed by people.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Planning before buying something is a good idea. For example, you are going to buy a pet dog, you still have to consider a few things and plan them well before you welcome it in the house. 36 You will also have to train it well so that it does not misbehave in front of people. You should realize that it is a big responsibility. 37 Think about whether your pocket can manage the purchase, as well as different items for keeping the dog. If something goes wrong with the health of your pet, you will have to spend some extra money on it.The next thing you need to consider is your home. 38 You will also have to consider the family members. If your living place is already too crowded with people, getting a dog as an additional member of the house will not be a good idea. 39 Make sure nobody is allergic (过敏的) to the fur of the dog. Also make sure that you can easily find time to train the dog. Ensure that your family is welcoming to this idea. 40 When you are bringing this best friend in your house, you must make sure everything is right for it. You should make life easier for it, as well as others who are living in your house.A. Looking after your dog doesnt only mean taking it for a walk or playing with it.B. A dog is supposed to be mans best friend. C. Before you think about getting a dog, think about the affordability (经济承受力).D. The training should start as soon as the dog is in your care.E. Once the dog has learned how to sit, you may teach him to shake hands.F. You will also have to think about any health problems related to your family.G. A small apartment will not be fit to house a large dog.第三部分英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)When I was in the seventh grade, I was a volunteer in a hospital.

Personally, I feel it most important for families to have meals together 61 (regular ).One of my great childhood 62 (memory) is having dinner with my parents and two sisters. Since my husband and I both work, we seldom had meals together with our three kids in the past. But we thought 63 would be possible for us to share meals together every week .We tried 64 ( set) three fixed days: Mondays ,Wednesdays and Fridays. For a while, our kids were unhappy. They said theyd rather spend time with their friends and play sports. However, they gradually 65 (begin) to feel these evenings together are interesting and helpful. We even made plans 66 a picnic .After a couple of months, anyone 67 missed family meals felt bad. Eating together helps us achieve open 68 (communicate) and build relationships. It is also a great time 69 (share) the events happening in their lives and discuss news and ideas. And now, we all feel we are able to build much stronger and 70 (healthy) relationship within the family than we had before.第四部分写作(共两节，满分35分)第一节短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)短文中共有10处错误，错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号()，并在此符号下面写出该加的词。 删除：把多余的词用斜线( )划掉。 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词的下面写出修改后的词。注意：1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；2. 只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。After school I went home f
