As more and more people came to 1in Hong Kong, these trees were cut down and burnt. Now there is 2forest left, though there are still some small areas covered with trees. We call these woods, not forests.Elephants,tigers and many 3animals were living in the thick forest. When people came to live in Hong Kong, the 4began to die out. Early farmers grew rice and kept pigs and chickens in the valleys (山谷). They cut down the trees and burnt them. They needed fire to keep themselves 5in winter, to cook their food and to keep away the dangerous animals. Elephants 6disappeared because there was not enough food for them. So did most of the wolves and tigers. Monkeys and many other animals soon died 7the same way.You might think that there are no longer any animals in Hong Kong except in the zoos. There 8still about 36 different animals living there. One of the most interesting of Hong Kongs animals is the barking deer (麂). These are beautiful little animals with a rich brown coat and a white patch(补丁) under the tail. They look like deer but they are much smaller. They are less than two feet 9. They make a noise rather like a dog barking. In Hong Kong the barking deer has only one real enemy 10. People hunt these little animals though it is illegal (违法的). There are now not many barking deer left. So it is important for people to protect wild animals.（1）A . work B . study C . live D . enjoy （2）A . many B . few C . no D . little （3）A . other B . others C . the other D . another （4）A . people B . animals C . plants D . things （5）A . cold B . warm C . relaxed D . healthy （6）A . quick B . slow C . quickly D . clearly （7）A . of B . at C . on D . in （8）A . is B . are C . has D . have （9）A . high B . higher C . short D . shorter （10）A . tiger B . man C . wolf D . elephant 三、 阅读理解。 (共3题；共24分)17. （8分）根据短文理解，选择正确答案。I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives( 观点 ) by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.With this belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other peoples writing can one discover what works, what doesnt and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read books. Reading reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldnt necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.（1）What can be inferred about the author as a child?A . He never watched TV.B . He found reading unbelievable.C . He considered reading part of his life.D . He read what he had to.（2）The underlined word “voice” in the second paragraph most probably means “_”.A . a beliefB . a way of writingC . a sound qualityD . a world to write about（3）What effect does reading have on the author?A . It opens up a wider world for him.B . It helps him to realize his dream.C . It makes his college life more interesting.D . It increases his interest in worldwide travel.（4）Which of the following can be the best title of this text?A . How do I read?B . What do I read?C . Why do I read?D . When do I read?18. （8分）根据材料内容，选择正确答案。How to become a better readerIf you wish to become a better reader, here are four important points to remember about speed of reading:1 Knowing why you are reading-what you are reading to find out-will often help you to know whether to read quickly or slowly.2 Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions(指导) for making or doing something, Maths problems, science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important idea.3 Some things should be read quickly throughout. Examples are simple stories for enjoyment, letters from friends, news from local, or hometown, newspapers which tell what is happening to friends and neighbours.4 In some of your readings, you must change your speed from fast to slow and from slow to fast as you go along. You need to read certain pages quickly and then slow down and do more careful readings when you come to important ideas which must be remembered.（1）According to the passage, your reading speed depends on _.A . whether the reading material is easy or difficultB . what you are readingC . what your purpose in reading something isD . both B and C（2）If one wants to be relaxed by reading, he should take up _.A . a storybookB . a book on science and technologyC . letters from friendsD . some material full of information（3）Which of the following readings should you read slowly and carefully?A . Fairy tales.B . Aesops Fables.C . Directions for use of a machine.D . An evening newspaper.（4）Which of the following can best express the main idea of the passage?A . How to decide your reading speed.B . How to raise your reading speed.C . How to improve your reading skills.D . How to choose your reading material.19. （8分） One summer vacation in my college, my roommate Ted asked to me to work on his fathers farm in Argentina. The idea was exciting. Then I had second thoughts. I had never been far from New England, and I had been homesick my first few weeks at college. What about the language? The more I thought about it, the more the idea worried me.Finally, I turned down the invitation. Then I realized I had turned down something I wanted to do because I was scared and felt depressed(沮丧). That experience taught me a valuable lesson and I developed a rule for myself: do what makes you anxious(焦虑); dont do what makes you depressed.In my senior year, I wanted to be a writer. But my professor wanted me to teach. I hesitated. The idea of writing was much scarier than spending a summer in Argentina. Back and forth I went, making my decision, unmaking it. Suddenly I realized that every time I gave up the idea of writing, that downhearted feeling went through me.Giving up writing really depressed me. Then I learned another lesson. To avoid the depression meant having to bear much worry and concern.When I first began writing articles, I often interviewed big names. Before each interview I would get butterflies in the stomach. One of them was the great composer Duke Ellington. On the stage and on television, he seemed very confident. Then I learned Ellington still got stage fright（害怕）. If Ellington still had anxiety attacks, how could I avoid them? I went on doing those frightening interviews. Little by little, I was even looking forward to the interviews. Where were those butterflies?In truth, they were still there, but fewer of them. I had learned from a process psychologists（心理学家） call “extinction”. If you put an individual in an anxious situation often, finally there isnt anything to be worried about, which brings me to a conclusion: youll never get rid of anxiety by avoiding the things that caused it.The point is that the new, the different, is definitely scary. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.（1）We can infer from the passage that the author_.A . finds it difficult to make decisionB . has found out what causes anxietyC . was encouraged by Duke Ellingtons stage frightD . no longer feels anxious about new experiences（2）What does the word “extinction” in Paragraph 6 means?A . a persons loss of confidence little by littleB . the natural development of a childs abilitiesC . the inborn ability to avoid anxious situationsD . the process of losing fear by keeping facing anxiety（3）Which of the following opinions does the writer probably accept?A . Anxiety can be a positive driveB . Hesitation leads to depression.C . Avoiding anxiety reduces depression.D . Depression is a signal that one is growing up.（4）Whats the best title for the passage?A . Confidence: Key to SuccessB . Anxiety: Challenge by Another NameC . Depression: A Psychological AppearanceD . Success: A Trip Through Anxiety and Depression四、 词汇。 (共
