But they had to keep the fire burning, for they couldn’t start it again if there was no lightening. Later, they found out hitting two pieces of stone together could make a spark (火花). The spark could fire dry leaves. In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing (摩擦). They made a hole on a piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire. A years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat from the sun. They held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire. About two centuries ago, people began to make matches. Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fires. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fires. One of them is to use an electric fire starter. Of course an electric fire starter is much more expensive than a box of matches. But it is very useful. ( ) 41.

On January 1, we welcome the coming of a new year like many people in other countries. And we have another four holidays on the first day of a month: April Fool’s Day, May Day, Friendship Day (Aug.1) and Grandparents Day (Sep. 1). The most important holiday for the young people comes in February. It is Valentine’s Day. Lots of boys give red roses to girls as a present. People celebrate some holidays for their family members. We say thanks to our mother in May and celebrate Father’s Day in the following month. In November many people return home for Thanksgiving Day, so the whole family can stay together. There are also some interesting holidays for children. For example, Halloween comes at the end of October. Children often play with pumpkin lanterns and put on all kinds of masks. Of course, the most important festival is Christmas. After a year of work and study, people can enjoy a long holiday, eat big meals, and visit family and friends. ( ) 46.

A. enjoy a long holiday B. stay with their family members C. eat big meals with friends D. spend Thanksgiving Day C A rabbit is running into its hole. You may ask, “What happened?” Well, when a rabbit sees something dangerous, it runs away. Its tail moves up and down as it runs. When other rabbits see this tail moving up and down, they run too. They know that there is danger. The rabbit has told them something without making a sound. It has given them a signal. Many other animals use this kind of language. When a bee found some food, it goes back to his home. It cannot tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little dance in the air. This tells the bees where the food is. Some animals say things by making sounds. A dog barks, for example, when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs (发出呼噜呼噜的声音 )when pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning. But human beings have something that no animals have –-- a large number of words about things, actions, feelings or ideas. We are able to give each other information, to tell or inform other people what is in our mind or how we feel. By writing words down we can remind ourselves of the things what have happened, or send messages to people far away. No animals can do this. No animals has the wonderful power of language. No one knows how man learned to make words. Somehow he learned to make them. As centuries went by, he made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language. People living in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fifteen hundred different languages in the world. A very large English dictionary, for example, contains four or five hundred thousand words. But we do not know all these. The words we know are called vocabulary. We should try to make our vocabulary larger. Read as many books as possible. When we meet a new word, look it up in the dictionary. A dictionary is the Most useful book. ( ) 51. When a rabbit gives the other rabbits a signal of danger, it _______. A. runs into its hole B. stops to move its tail C. runs with its tail moving up and down D. stops moving its tail up and down as it runs ( ) 52. A dog can tell something ________.

She planned to marry but broke it off. " The doctor shook her head, remembering," She was in such low spirit that I feared for her sanity (失去理智) ," breaking into a smile. "Then I had an. idea. I took her one day to the ‘Blind Children’s Home', and that afternoon she played with the children and for the first time I saw her look happy. Just as we were leaving, a little blind girl put her arms round her neck and said, 'I do like your voice and I know you must have a lovely face, too. ' The nurse cried all the way home in the car, but it was with happiness, for she had found her life work with the blind children who came to call her their 'lovely lady*. " A sad case?

Some people argue that because this is America, only English should be spoken in schools. Others argue that America is a melting pot (多元文化的移民国家). And if students are able to speak more than» one language, that should be accepted and celebrated in classrooms. We asked students in New York City what*they thought. Here's what they said. Should English be the only language spoken in American classrooms? YES Pedro Rodriguez: Even though you may want to speak your native language (本族 语) ，you should learn and speak only English in school. It's very important. It's the most popular language in the world. If you live here, you should speak it. Gisell Mata: How can people expect to communicate in this country if they can't speak English? School is the best place to start. I think if you speak and write only ' English in school, you will learn it quicker and be able to speak it very well in a short time. Chemway Corley: I think all kids should speak only English in school. If you are living in the U. S. , you must know English. It is the main language of the country. I think students should have to learn the language even if they take ten periods a week learning it. NO Xiomarah Veras: I think people should learn English in school, but they shouldn't be required to speak only English. It should be up to students and teachers what they speak and learn. For people just learning English, it can be easier if they're allowed to speak their native language in class too. Patricia Morel: People shouldn't be forced to speak a language that they don't want to speak. It is up to you to decide what is best for you in school or at home. Nobody should be forced to do anything she's not ready to do. Yessenia Ortiz: I think if English is introduced to people slowly, they will want to speak it more. If they are in this country, they will want to learn English. But if you tell them it is the only language they can speak in school, it will make them angry. 43. What does the writer try to tell us in the text? A. Two different ideas on speaking the same language. B. The reason why people must speak English. C. How to speak English very well in a short time.

When did Doris Lessing win the Nobel Prize for Literature? 63. Who is Will Smith? B In different countries around the world, people become 'adults' (成年人) at different ages. Being an adult means having the right (权利) to do certain things such as get a part-time job, vote (选举权) ，get married, or get a licence to drive. In many countries, sixteen or eighteen is the age at which a person becomes an adult. Young men and women at this age can get a part-time job, and begin to receive an income (收入 ) of their own. They no longer have to depend on their parents for money all the time. In many parts of North America, sixteen is also the age when one can get a driver's license; in England, it is seventeen. In the United States, Canada, and the U. K. , young people have the right to vote at the age of eighteen. With this right also comes duty. For young people to use their right to vote wisely, they must have an understanding of the needs of society, and they must also learn how politics (政治观点) work. Not everyone would agree that it is a good idea to give all of these rights to people when they are too young. The question is, how young is too young? 64. An adult has the right to do certain things. Please give an example. 65. At what age can one get a driver's licence in England? 66. In which countries do young people have the right to vote at the age of eighteen? 67. Does everyone agree to give all the rights to people when they are too young? C The year is 2008.

Air tickets and hotels are included. _ You can do these things for this project... 68. Where is the advertisement from? 69. With what can you send your ideas in? 70. How long will you stay in Greece if you are the winner? 71. What should you do first if you want to work for this project? D Blue Lagoon—Iceland Iceland—a' country in the North Atlantic near the Arctic Circle—probably isn' t the first place you think of for a perfect beach holiday. But every year, thousands of people take off their clothes and swim at the Blue Lagoon, a beach near the Arctic Circle and just 45 km from the capital city, Reykjavik. The air temperature can be as low as minus 10 degrees: but the water comes from underground and is naturally hot—the usual water temperature is between 35 and 40 degrees. It's like taking a hot bath in the open air! London Bridge—USA!!! The earliest London Bridge actually isn't in London at all. . . and it doesn't even pass over a river! American businessman Robert P McCulloch bought the bridge for $ 2. 5 million in 1968 and moved it—stone by stone—across the Atlantic Ocean. He rebuilt it in Lake Havasu City, Arizona — a small town in the middle of the desert, where the temperature is often more than 40 degrees. Nowadays, thousands of tourists come to see the bridge, and there is an English village with watersports facilities, shops and restaurants. The Guggenheim Museums There are not one but five Guggenheim Museums. Solomon R Guggenheim opened the first collection of modern art in New York in 1959. Another museum opened in Italy, and then, in 1997, two more Guggenheims opened: one in Berlin and the other in the Basque city of Bilbao, in the north-west of Spain. It is now one of Spain's biggest tourist attractions, and every year hundreds of thousands of people come to see the paintings and other works of art. The newest Guggenheim museum is the Virtual Museum—the world's biggest Internet art gallery (美术馆). 72. What degrees is the usual water temperature of the Blue Lagoon? 73. How much did McCulloch pay for the bridge? 74. Where will you go if you want to enjoy paintings and other works of art? 75. Which place is the hottest in the text? 六、综合阅读(共 10 小题；每小题 2分，满分 20分) A I really enjoyed my day at the studio (直播间) but it was also hard work!

Uncle Cat is a fat white cat living in the countryside of Japan. He is already nine years old, as old as our 50-year-old uncle in cat years. That’s why he gets the nickname(绰号) Uncle Cat. Uncle Cat is a lazy cat. He often half shuts his eyes and lies in the sun. It makes him look relaxed and peaceful. He also enjoys himself in a basket, so he has another name: Basket Cat. Uncle Cat is clever. He knows exactly how to make himself look cool— to wear a pair of sunglasses. From hats to flowers, Uncle Cat likes everything that makes him a different cat. Uncle Cat’s owner likes to take pictures of Uncle Cat. To his surprise, these photos are very popular on the internet. They make people from all over the world to know and love this cute cat. Recently, a big earthquake happened in Uncle Cat’s hometown. But don’t worry. Uncle Cat is also a lucky cat. He is safe and sound. That means there will be more photos of Uncle Cat on time and he will soon bring us more fun! 36. What do you know about Uncle Cat’s looks? A. He is a fat white cat. B. He is already nine years old. C. He is a lonely cat. D. He lives in the country of Japan. 37. The main reason why Uncle Cat is called Basket Cat is that . A. He often half shuts his eyes. B. He always lies in the sun. C. He enjoys himself in a basket. D. He looks relaxed and peaceful. 38. People from all over the world get to know and love Uncle Cat . A. during a big earthquake. B. on the Internet. C. from photo collections. D. in the newspaper. 39. Which of the following can best explain “Uncle Cat knows exactly how to make himself look cool”? B What will the house of the future look like? Could it have gardens on its walls, or a pool with fish for dinner? Architects believe that they are all possibilities. The only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible. The tree house Many architects in the world would like to build a “tree house.” Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even create fresh air for the home. The “root” (根) of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil (土壤) to the home’s temperature. The Lizard house Like a lizard (蜥蜴 ), changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy. Meals at home This design is perhaps as much about the future of food production as architecture (建筑风 格 ). It has gardens on the outside wall of the house. People can plant tomatoes, carrots and green tea on them. So every day in the morning, you just need to walk outside and collect your meals. Learning from the past Looking to the future isn’t the only way to be green. Sometimes, ancient techniques (古老 的技术) can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney (烟囱) can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier of hot air to flow out at the chimney. 40. What is the best title (标题) of the passage? A. Green house of the future. B. The greener, the better. C. How to build green houses. D. Changes of the houses. 41. We can heat water, produce electricity or create fresh air for the home . A. with the root of a leaf. B. with the energy from sunlight. C. with the soil under the ground D. with gardens on its walls. 42. What will happen to the cover of the lizard house when it’s in the bright sun? A. It will take in light. B. It will produce energy. C. It will turn dark. D. It will turn white. 43. The passage seems to tell us that meals at home in the future . A. will be more delicious. B. need more cooks. C. cost as much as possible. D. will be greener. 44. A chimney can be a useful air conditioner but it used to cause . A. pollution. B. accident. C. noise. D. techniques. C If you’re into sports, you’ve seen it happen— tennis players jump over the net to shake hands after a hard match; football players exchange jerseys（运动衣）after ninety minutes of knocking each other around; even boxers touch gloves at the beginning of each round. Players in every event, from spelling bees to golf（高尔夫球），act in this way. It’s all part of sportsmanship （体育精神），a great tradition in sports and competition. It means playing and being calm all through the match. Everyone feels great when they win. In the last few years, you might see some players celebrate a goal（进球）with a long victory dance or talk big about their ability. However, it’s always hard for people to say in public that they made a bad play. Good sportsmanship is what they really need. It’s the golden rule of sports. Good sportsmanship means that you play by the rules, talk politely to everyone during games and stay cool even when you lose the game. At the school sports meeting, for example, it’s more important for you to know how to work as part of a team and cheer your teammates on. That may help you enjoy more success at your future work. In competition—as in life—you may not always win, but believe me, sportsmanship will help you get through, and there is always the next match. 45. What match do you know will last ninety minutes? A. Tennis. B. Football. C. Golf. D. Spelling. 46. The underlined word “bees” in the passage means . A. fly. B. competition. C. guess. D. research. 47. Why do you think good sportsmanship is really important? A. It’s all part of sports. B. It’s all part of celebration. C. It’s the golden rule of sports. D. It’s how to stay cool. 48.Winning the game will make it possible for players to . A. celebrate a goal. B. exchange jerseys. C. shake hands. D. feel great . 49.The passage mainly tells us that sportsmanship gets you through no matter whether . A. you win or lose. B. you play or learn. C. you are happy or not. D. you feel hard or not. B)阅读短文，然后根据其内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项（有一 项为多余选项）。 Shopping is popular with many people around the world. They seem to find new ways to buy things every day. They visit shopping centers, order things through the mail, or buy things on the Internet. 50 For young people, one of the most popular ways to shop is to use a vending machine (自动 售货机). These machines offer all kinds of things and you can find them everywhere. In the USA, there are vending machines which sell CDs. 51 The strangest product on sale from a vending machine is in Japan. Just put your coins in the vending machine Tokyo, press the button, and out comes a “kabutomushi”，that is, a black beetle（甲壳虫). You keep it as a pet! Japan now has “Robosho”—a shop with no shop assistants, only robots. A robot reads your credit card(信用卡)and then gives you what you what. 52 People are very surprised that the robots can serve them as well as shop assistants do. Some shops in the UK are like social clubs for teenagers. Many of them have a café inside. The Youth Station has a large nightclub for teenagers under 18, with a DJ playing music in a room that hangs the ceiling. Sports Town has a big screen, where you can see live sports from around the world. 53 A. And some robots can even talk. B. Many American people usually go shopping. C. You won’t miss any exciting ball games even when you go shopping. D. People’s shopping habits are always changing. E. New CDs are put in the machine every week. 四、回答问题（共 15 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 30 分） 阅读短文，然后根据内容回答所提问题。 54. What’s the name of Independent boy’s school? 55. How long did Open Evening last? 56.

One day, they each decided, without telling the other, to buy lotto ticket(彩票). Before buying these tickets, they had never spent money on the lotto. They both used numbers that were their anniversary(周年纪念) date and address. That night, they were watching the news on TV, and the winning numbers were drawn. Soon after hearing the numbers, they started jumping up and down. They were shocked(震惊) to find out that they each held a winning ticket! The ticket won ＄450,000. 59. Why did the parks buy a lotto ticket? 60. What number did the Parks use? 61. Where did the Parks get the news that they won? 62. When did the Parks start jumping up and down? 63. How much did the Parks win? C The first telephone cards, produced in 1976, were Italian. Five years later the first British card appeared, and now you can buy cards in more than a hundred countries. People usually start collecting cards because they are small and light and you do not need much space for them. It is also a cheap hobby for beginners, although for some people it becomes a serious business. In Paris, for example, there is a market where you can only buy telephone cards, and some cards cost up to ￡4,000.The first Japanese card has a value of about ￡28,000. Most people only see cards with prices like these in their collectors’ magazine. 64. When were the first Italian telephone cards produced? 65. How many countries can produce telephone cards now? 66.

The 69 is the school dance. Most American high schools have at least two dances 70 the year, one in winter and the other in spring. Students attend these events 71 it’s a great opportunity for them to meet 72 friends. At the dance, there will be snacks and photo booths (机器拍照亭), as well as strict（严格 的）rules to 73 create a healthy and enjoyable evening for all students. And all the dancers will be given a security check（安检）before they come into the dance 74 . This is acceptable. But some rules may be a little bit over the top（过分). For example, a school once asked 75 students to keep a standing position while they were dancing. That 76 the students couldn’t do anything freely. You’d 77 not break the rules because you’ll be asked to leave there, or even worse, be placed on a do not invite list. B)阅读短文，然后用短文括号中所给词的适当形式填空。 Believe it or not: the more TV you watch, the 78 (little) happiness you get. This is the result of a new study. It shows that unhappy people watch more TV than happy people. Well, you may say that you enjoy 79 (watch ) TV. In fact, TV gives you happiness for a short time, but unhappiness for a long time. Why? It is because, if you watch TV, you cannot take part in many other good 80 (activity). And sometimes, if you are unhappy, you 81 (usual) prefer being a couch potato(整 天坐在沙发上看电视的人)，right? Watching TV is relaxing to you. Then if you want to be happy, what should you do? You can read newspapers, visit 82 (you) friends, go to parties, … but don’t watch television all the time. Now turn off the TV, and take a walk outside. It’s the 83 (one) step to being happy! 六、综合阅读（共 10 小题，每小题 2 分；满分 20 分 ） 阅读短文，然后根据要求完成第 84-93 小题。 A What is it like being an actor? Many people think it must be wonderful because we travel to exciting places, wear beautiful clothes and (A)挣钱多 . This is only one aspect(方面) of our lives though. We also work very hard. I played a country girl in my last (B) movie. I had to live in a small village with the other actors for part of the winter. (C)It was really hard for me as I grew up in a city. To help me play a country girl better, I cooked for myself and the others every day. I even walked a few miles sometimes to get water, as there was none in the houses. I wanted to understand how a real village girl lived. I thought it was fun at first. I felt different after a week or two, though. I did wear some beautiful traditional clothes, but they were not thick enough. I was very cold but I had to keep smiling all the time! One day, I couldn’t do it any longer and I suddenly (D) started crying, “Great!” said the director. “I like it. She is crying with true feelings!” I called my mum to tell (E) Her about it but my mobile phone (手机) wouldn’t work in the village. I think it is worth doing all this, though. I like it when people tell me they enjoy my plays and ask me to sign a picture. It is also fun to be someone else for a while. I’m very lucky to be an actor. 84.将文中划线部分（A）译成汉语: 85.写出文中划线部分（B）和（D）的同义词或近义词: 86.将文中划线部分（C）改写为: It was really hard for me I was a city 87.文中划线部分（E）指代的是: 88.从文中找出有关赞美方面的两个形容词: B A young girl sits at her desk, reviewing her homework for the evening. English: Read three chapters and write a report. Math: Complete 30 problems. Science: Do a worksheet, front and back. French: (A) Study new words for tomorrow’s test. It’s going to be a long night. This happens to students in America. Now it’s time to start a homework revolution(变革). Do students in the United States receive too much homework? According to the National Education Association, a student should be assigned (布置) no more than 10 minutes per grade level per night. For example, a first grader should only have 10 minutes of homework, a (B) grader, 20 minutes, and so on. This means that a student in my grade—seventh—should have no more than 70 minutes of work (C) each night. Yet this is often doubled, sometimes even worse! It’s no good giving students too much homework. According to research, kids are developing more illness at school, such as stomachaches, headaches and sleep problems than before. Everybody (D) that teachers are the ones who assign homework, but they are not the only ones to blame (受责备). “Many teachers are under greater pressure (压力) than ever before,” says Kylene Beers, President of the National Council for teachers of English, “Some of (E) it comes from parents, some from the wish for high scores on tests.” Teachers who are under pressure feel the need to assign more homework. Some people have different ideas, saying that homework prepares kids for doing better in high school, better in college, and (F) 今后找到更好的工作 . But too much homework is sapping students’ strength, curiosity（削弱学生的个性和好奇心), and most importantly, their love of learning, is that really what teachers and parents want? 89.写出文中划线部分（A）和（C）的同义词或近义词: 90.在文中（B）和（D）的空白处分别填入适当单词: 91.文中划线部分（E）指代的是: 92.将文中划线部分（F）译成汉语: 93.从文中找出能说明本文主旨大意的中心词: 七、书面表达（共两节，A 节 5 分，B 节 20 分，满分 25 分） A）下列素材选自牛津英语教材。其中地图上标号⑥的答案已给出。请将其他 5 个标号 的名称填入相应标号后的空白处上。 Paris London The Channel Tunnel (英法隧道) The Atlantic Ocean The Mediterranean (地中海) Spain (西班牙) ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ ⑥Spain B)某英语报刊开辟中学生栏目，就某些热点问题展开讨论。请以 It’s to study geography at school 为题， 写一篇短文，以便为该栏目投稿。词数 80-100。步骤与要点如 下： 1．确定你的观点； 2．围绕观点，进行叙述； 3．要有具体事例（一至两点即可），并说明其原因。 要求： 1．补全标题（参考词汇：interesting, important, necessary, helpful, useless, boring, bad 等）； 2．字迹清楚，语言规范； 3．鼓励写出真情实感，对紧扣主题的适当发挥不予扣分； 4．短文的开头已给出，不计入总词数； 5．短文中不要出现考生的真实校名和姓名。 It’s important to study geography at school Geography is one of the subjects in middle school. In my idea, geography is very impportant for us in our lives. For it there are two following reasons; Firstly, geography is good for our travel. Every year, we may go out for our holiday. If we have the knowlegde of geography, we can go anywhere even though we don’t know the way. We also take a map with us. But if we didn’t learn geography, we may not understant the map well.
