It was a snake skin found in our garden.“Isnt it beautiful?” said my seven-year-old daughter.I opened my eyes widely and looked at the snake skin in fear（恐惧地）. I didnt think it was beautiful, but I learned never to appear nonchalant(冷漠的)with children. Everything they see for the first time is important to their sense of beauty; they see only excellence in the world.“Why does it do this?”Sarah asked.“Snakes shed(蜕) their skins because they need to renew themselves,”I explained.“Why do they need to renew（使更新） themselves?” Sarah asked.“We often need to shed our skins, those coatings that we cover ourselves with,”I said to my daughter. “We leave some things and find other thing unwanted or unnecessary. This snake no longer needs this skin. It is probably too little for him, and he probably doesnt think he looks as smart in it as he once did. ”As we talked, I knew that she began to understand. Although she couldnt understand clearly, she would know that renewal is part of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, our rooms, schoolwork and spirit, and see what we need to keep and what we need to leave. I was careful to tell that this is a natural way, not one to be forced.“Snakes dont peel off their skins when they like them. “I explained. “It happens as a natural thing of their growth. ”“I see, Dad,” said Sarah as she held the snake skin, and then ran off.I hoped she would remember this; we need to throw some away because they are worthless or unnecessary. Then we can store them as memories in our deep hearts.（1）Father jumped up when her daughter came to him with a snake skin because .A . he didnt want to read any moreB . he was in great fear of itC . he wanted to praised her daughterD . he hated snakes（2）Fathers patient explanation shows that A . his daughter didnt want to listen to him at allB . he knew children saw only excellence in the worldC . his daughter couldnt follow him at allD . he wanted to teach everything to her（3）We learn from the reading that .A . the girl seemed to understand what her father saidB . the girl wasnt interested in the explanationC . the father was good at raising snakesD . the father liked the snake skin better4. （10分）阅读理解Michael Jordan is the most famous basketball player in the world.

Products (产品) arc not produced in a green way and people havent realized the importance of buying and using environmentally-friendly products. These lead to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of waste like glass, paper and plastics is produced (生产). The waste problem is difficult to deal with.However, today, more and more people are choosing “green” and expecting that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: “Will this soap be bad for the environment”Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”Over 20,000 people took part in a web survey (调查) on buying environmentally-friendly products. Among them, 8129 people say that they now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it. That is to say, companies must change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that the products are “green”.A few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels to show that they are green. Some companies have made the clean and safe products their main selling point in advertisements.The growing need for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. The public will no longer accept the old idea of “buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it”. As a result, the companies have to take action.（1）Is it easy to deal with the waste problem?（2）What do more and more people consider before they buy products?（3）In the survey, how many people prefer green products in the supermarket now?（4）Is it possible or impossible to get green products in the supermarket now?（5）Why do the companies have to rethink how to do business and take action?三、 选出合适的选项补全短文 (共1题；共5分)7. （5分）任务型阅读Having a cheetah as a pet in the house?Does it sound scary to you?But for a family in South Africa，one cheetah is treated as a VIP(Very Important Person)in the houseThe big cheetah is named Jolie，after the film star Angelina Jolie_She can often be found eating from the kitchen table，taking a short sleep on the sofa，or even sleeping on Lucy and Jeffs bedThe big cat also sleeps and plays with the Brownsother pet，the more usual one-a sheepdog(牧羊犬)_Having a cheetah as a pet is unusualAt first，MrsBrown wasnt willing to keep a cheetah as a petShe said，_But we are now happy that we did it she is part of the familyJust like her name，fouryearold Jolie has achieved celebrity status(名人地位)in the Browlisl hometownFans often come to their home to take pictures of her_Howevera cheetah is always a cheetah_She makes a lot of mess in the house，urinating(小便)everywhere and chewing everythingIts her wild instincts(本能)，said MrsBrownThere might be some problems of having a cheetah as a pet in the house，but some unusual fun must also be waiting aheadAInterestingly，Jolie enjoys all the special attention that is paid to herBI was really pleased to have a cheetah as a pet at the beginningCThough Jolie is now a pet in the house，she still has some wild habitsDShe is surely the VIP at Lucy and Jeff Browns homeEI was really against the idea of getting a cheetah as a petFAn impossible friendship has happened between these two animals四、 根据首字母、中文提示填空 (共6题；共21分)8. （1分）My sister bought a new _ (背包) yesterday afternoon. 9. （5分）根据句意及首字母或汉语提示完成单词。（1）When is he leaving for the_(机场)?（2）The headmaster n_to us with a smile（3）What made me worried is that my mothers hair has turned_(灰白的)（4）Though the boy was young，he_(表现)very well（5）Could you give me some_(建议)on how to learn English well?10. （1分）Theres a Chinese takeaway (外卖餐馆) in the c_ of the town. 11. （12分）根据汉语意思完成句子，每空一词。 （1）她坐你和我之间。She sits _ you and _.（2）我们教室前面有一棵树。There is a tree_our classroom.（3） 请问，我怎样能到达邮局？Excuse me, how can I _ _ the post office?（4）你必须照管好你的东西。You must _your things.（5）每年很多人在交通事故中丧失生命。Every year many people _in traffic accidents.1
