Students1 long hours preparing for a test. They read all their books carefully, and then read them a second time and a third time. They2 they know all the material the teacher has offered and prepare for every possible question. They study every night. They are hitting the books.In the United States, most children go to school3 they are 5 years old. Public education is free and most children go to schools near their homes. School in these early years is4. The children learn to read and write, but they also play games and go on trips. There is no5 for them to hit the books at such an early age.This situation changes as children become older. The subjects become more difficult. Students must6 world history, physics and the life sciences. Tests become more common.Pressure is7 to hit the books, study hard, and advance（升级）. However, most serious students only really begin8 the books for long hours when they reach high school.High school students who hope to continue their education at a college or university 9 take a special test called the SAT. If they get a 10 score on the test, they have a good chance to enter a top American college. For this reason, many students hit the books for months to prepare for the SAT.All this adds up to a lot of work-hitting the books.

(共3题；共30分)22. （10分）阅读理解Our school held many activities last week. We called it Road Safety Week. One of the educational activities was a speech given by a police officer. He shared something about the road safety. Here are some important points about his speech.Most traffic accidents(事故)shouldnt happen. They happen because people are careless. A frequent cause(原因)of traffic accidents is speed(速度). Some people drive too fast. This means that if they have to stop suddenly, they cannot stop quickly enough to avoid hitting(避免撞)others. You need to remember this when you are crossing the street or walking along the sidewalk(人行道).Its not only drivers who cause accidents, however. People on footpedestrians(行人), and bicycle riders often cause accidents, too. Pedestrians sometimes walk out into the street without looking. You should always look on both sides before stepping into the street.Do any of you ride a bike? Bicycle riders can cause accidents by changing directions suddenly or without warning other road users. Before you turn left, for example, you should check behind you to make sure there arent any cars, trucks or buses coming. You should show with your left hand to tell that you want to turn left. You should not turn until the street is clear.The rules of the road are very simple. If we learn them and obey(遵守)them, we should not have accidents any more. There were more other activities in Road Safety Week, hope every student could learn something.（1）Most traffic accidents shouldnt happen if _. A . people are more carefulB . people dont know the rulesC . people cross the streets quicklyD . people stop their cars suddenly（2）The underlined word “frequent” in the passage means _ in Chinese.

Showing with your right hand to tell that you want to turn right.D . Changing directions suddenly or without warning other road users.（4）From the police officers speech, we can learn the following except that(除了) _. A . riding bikes is the most dangerousB . its not only drivers who cause traffic accidentsC . some people have accidents because they drive too quicklyD . obeying the rules of the road may stop you from having accidents（5）Which of the following is the best title of this passage?

But looking at the new road, beautiful parks and supermarkets, to her surprise, Yang couldnt see any sign that food was once grown there.Yang is not alone. In recent years, many Chinese people have moved into new houses in country areas. Tall buildings have been built everywhere in the suburbs. The crops and fruit trees are no more grown there. But these changes have caused big problems too, warns Gan Zangchun, an official（官员）at the Ministry of Land and Resources(国土资源部）Chinese cities are growing very fast. This has made the area for farmland much smaller than before. This is really bad for the countrys ability to grow food, not to mention the lives of farmers, said Gan last Monday.As the population of China is growing all the time, the country needs more farmland to grow food for the increasing people of China. But the recent rise in house prices has made selling land a good business. A lot of land has been used to build new houses for sale. So you can see, the shortage of the farmland is now a very serious problem.Pollution, such as, oil pollution, industrial(工业) pollution and water pollution, which makes land useless, is another reason for the big drop in Chinas farmland. About 2.67 million square kilometers of land in China have been polluted and turned into desert.Today, can we use less farmland to grow enough food for more people? Of course not! The government wants China to have at least 120 million hectares（公顷） of farmland. Only in this way can we raise such a big population. But there are only about 121.8 million hectares left. It will be really difficult to reach the goal, Gan said. He said that the government would fight illegal(非法的) land use and something useful must be done to stop farmland from becoming desert.（1）The article seems to tell us that_.A . farmland is in dangerB . countryside is turned into townsC . farmland has been soldD . Chinese cities are growing fast（2）From what Gan Zangchun said, we know he is worrying about _.A . Chinas development is too slowB . the population of China is growing fastC . Chinese people have worse life than beforeD . the reduction(减少) and pollution of the farmland（3）What size of the land have been polluted and turned into desert?A . 120 million hectares.B . 121.8 million hectares.C . 2.67 million square kilometers.D . Millions of square kilometers.（4）Which statement of the following is NOT true?A . Yang Nans new home is in a northern area of BeijingB . The country needs enough farmland so that the farmers can grow enough food for the people of China.C . Chinese cities are growing too slowly so the government encourages people to change the farmland into towns.D . Pollution is also an important reason for the big drop in Chinas farmland.（5）What will the government do with the problem of the drop in Chinas farmland?A . Government needs farmland to grow food for the people of China.B . Government will order not to build new towns any more.C . Government will stop the growth of the cities in order to stop selling farmland for business.D . Government will fight illegal land use and stop farmland from becoming dessert四、 Fill in the blanks with the ri (共1题；共1分)25. （1分）He spent as much time as he could_(learn) English to pass the exam. 五、 Pattern shift. 句型转换 (共6题；共30分)26. （5分）him, for, I, his iPhone 7 Plus, breaking, apologized to(连词成句) 27. （2分）Are these your keys?(同义句转换) Are these_?28. （13分）按要求完成下列各题， 每空一词。（1）Does Mary like oranges?

She is the monitor of our class. She spends a lot of time working for our class. But she always gets good grades in all subjects. How do students like Jenny do that? When I asked her, she said, Hard work is not the whole story. Its not how long you sit at the desk with your books open. Its what you do as you are sitting. In fact, we can see many top students spend fewer hours on their studies than their classmates. Jenny gave me some valuable suggestions.If your math teacher gives you five exercises, you should do six. If your Chinese teacher gives eight pages of reading, you should read nine. The more you practice, the more you learn.Studying is a matter of your personal interest, so choose the way you are most comfortable with. Some people like working at night when the house is quiet, while others like doing their work early in the morning. However, others like studying as soon asthey arrive home from school while the work is fresh in their minds. No matter(无论) which way suits you, try to do your best.Studying is your business and the business comes before entertainment(娱乐). When you are studying, phone calls should go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks given up. Studying is the only thing in your mind. Nothing can pull your
