It seemed that they were speaking to me in person. 44 the age of nine, I asked for jobs in small radio stations. As I grew older, my 45 in radio grew. One day I learned about Internet radio. Once a week, I played my favourite music from my father’s computer to the listeners, talked about life at school, and then closed down and did my homework. Soon my friends at junior high school started to listen, and then they wanted to 46 . We prepared the weekly programmes, articles about music, sports news, jokes and the weather report. “OK, 47 with me,” the WXBN manager said, I followed him into the studio. Then I sat down in front of a microphone. He was in another room, behind the glass wall. “OK, let’s do a second check. Just tell me 48 you had for breakfast.” All radio presenters begin work with the same 49 . “I had eggs, fruit and some milk.” “OK, that’s great,” the man behind the glass said.

One day, when she saw a mouse, she jumped and caught it. But she could not bite it. The mouse got out of her mouth and ran away.‎ Then the man became very angry and began to beat the cat. The cat said, “Don’t beat your old servant. I know I’m old and can’t kill a mouse. But I have worked for you for many years, and I still want to work for you. Be kind to the old, and remember what good work they did when they were young.”‎ When the man heard that, he realized that he was wrong.‎ ‎51. Where did the man live?‎ A. In a village. B. In a city.

The man realized his mistake.‎ C. The man killed the cat. D. The man didn’t believe the cat.‎ ‎51.A细节理解题。关键词”the man live”,文章第一句提到A man lived in a village,因此51题答案A ‎ ‎52.C细节理解题。关键词”the old cat do”,第一段第三句话The cat couldn’t run fast, and she couldn’t bite排除了AB选项,第二段第三句I know I’m old and can’t kill a mouse 排除了D选项,因此本题选择C ‎53.A细节理解题。关键词the man feel,文章第二段第一句Then the man became very angry,因此本题选择A ‎54.D细节理解题。关键词the cat work for the man,文章第二段第四句But I have worked for you for many years,因此本题选择D ‎ ‎55.B细节理解题。关键词at the end of the story,文章最后一段he realized that he was wrong,因此答案选择B B How green are you? Do you know how to be green? We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.‎ Reduce Reduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary—or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.‎ Reuse Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.‎ Recycle Recycle means “change things into something else”. Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighborhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.‎ So please remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.‎ ‎56. What is the passage about?‎ A. How to produce things. B. How to burn things. C. How to help others. D. How to be green.‎ ‎57. Which of the following is right?‎ A. Don’t waste things. B. Always throw away old things.‎ C. Always buy new things. D. Buy too many things from abroad.‎ ‎58. Why is it better to use a china cup and a lunch box?‎ A. You can burn them. B. You can use them again.‎ C. You can throw them away. D. You can change them into something else.‎ ‎59. To protect the environment, we should remember these three words: .‎ A. waste, reuse and recycle B. repair, burn and recycle C. reduce, reuse and recycle D. reduce, waste and recycle.‎ ‎60. The passage may come from .‎ A. a menu B. a dictionary C. a storybook D. a magazine ‎56.D主旨大意题。对于主旨题,如文章为总分总结构,需要根据文章的首尾进行判断,根据本篇文章的结构（中间三个黑色标题）可以判断出文章为总分总结构,因此主旨题需要结合首尾.57、58、59题为细节题,细节题需要根据关键词找到原文的关键信息.最后一题为文章来源判断题,需要结合文章的内容及作者的写作角度进行判断.56题,结合文章第一段内容Do you know how to be green?需要理解这里的”green”指的是环保,因此56题选择D 57A细节理解题。结合黑色标题的三段,B选项不符合recycle,CD不符合reduce,因此本题选择A 58.B细节理解题。关键词a china cup and a lunch box,在原文Reuse一段最后一句because you can use them again.因此选择B ‎ ‎59.C细节理解题。文章三个黑色标题即为如何做,因此答案选择C ‎60D主旨大意题。文章为指导读者如何提高环保,并非故事,因此选择D C Is there intelligent (有智力的) life on other planets? For years, scientists said “no.” or “we don’t know.” But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers (天文学家). They believe intelligent life exists (存在) somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact these beings (人；生物).‎ Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. “This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life,” say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size—the universe is huge. “Tools like the Hubble Telescope (哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies,” says Shostak. “And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth.”‎ In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes (高倍望远镜) allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or Earth—in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life.‎ Have beings from space already visited Earth? “Probably not,” says Shostak. “It’s a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other way, such as radio signals (信号). In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don’t have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025, we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other.”‎ ‎61. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are .‎ A. astronomers B. farmers C. singers D. drivers ‎62. What is the best title for Paragraph 2?‎ A. The Age and Size of Earth B. Our Galaxy: The Milky Way C. Why Intelligent Life Might Exist D. Earth: The Only Planet with Intelligent Life ‎63. Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past?‎ A. There were not any smaller planets. B. There were not any powerful telescopes. ‎ C. The astronomers were not interested in them. D. The Milky Way didn’t exist at that time.‎ ‎64. Why haven’t beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak?‎ A. They’re afraid of us. B. It’s a long way away.‎ C. They don’t want to see us. D. They don’t know how to use radio signals.‎ ‎65. What does the underlined phrase “life forms” in the last paragraph mean?‎ A. Messages B. Tools C. Intelligent beings D. Radio signals ‎61.A细节理解题。关键词为Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett两个名字,文章第一段第四句话Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers,因此本题答案为A ‎ ‎62.C主旨大意题。根据第二段第一句话Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets?判断本段的核心为阐述为何这两名天文学家相信其他星球上存在智力物种,因此本题选择C ‎63.B细节理解题。关键词为hard to look for signs in the past,根据第三段第二句话But now, powerful telescopes(高倍望远镜) allow scientists to discover smaller planets,因此判断出主要原因是过去没有高倍望远镜,因此答案选择B ‎64.B细节理解题。关键词beings from space visited us,根据文章最后一段第三句话It’s a long way away.因此本题选择B ‎65.C推理判断题。划线词life forms出现在最后一段,根据we could make contact with other life forms in our universe中life forms前的contact以及other这两个词,对比本段第四句话intelligent beings may contact us in other way,因此判断life forms就是指intelligent beings,因此本题选择C 五、补全对话。根据对话内容，从方框内选择恰当的句子将对话补充完整。（选项中有两项是多余的） A: Hi, Tom! You look very happy today. B: Oh, yes. Guess what? My best friend Ben is coming. A: Oh, really? 66 B: Tomorrow. I can’t wait to see him. A: 67 B: For two weeks. A: 68 B: He is really friendly. I’m sure you will like him when you see him. A: What does he look like? B: 69 A: Could you introduce him to me? B: 70 ‎ 解析：‎ ‎66 – 70: CAEFB ‎66．根据答语“Tomorrow”可以推断出问的是问什么时候来,因此答案是C ‎ 67．根据答语“For two weeks”可以推断出是问要待多久,因此答案是A ‎ 68．根据答语“He is really friendly”可以推断出是问他是个什么样子的人,因此答案是E ‎ 69．根据问句“What does he look like”可以看出是问他长得什么样子,因此答案是F ‎ 70．根据问句“Could you introduce him to me”可以推断出答话是B ‎ 六、完成句子，根据所给中文意思完成句子，每空限填一词。‎ ‎71. 我每天不得不早早起床赶头班车。 I have to __________ __________ early every day to catch the first bus.‎ ‎72. 他们去年冬天在海南度假。 They were __________ __________ in Hainan last winter.‎ ‎73. 我们春节前做扫除，是为了扫走不好的运气。‎ We do some cleaning to __________ __________ bad luck before Spring Festival.‎ ‎74. 你周日经常和母亲去购物吗？ Do you often __________ __________ with your mother on Sundays?‎ ‎75. 你何不在错误的旁边写下正确的拼写呢？‎ Why don’t you __________ __________ the correct spelling next to the mistake?‎ ‎71.get up 72.on holiday 73. sweep away 74.go shopping 75.write down 七、任务型阅读（本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分）阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成句子。‎ Do you know that each child in school catches six to ten colds every year? Though there is no cure for colds, there are some suggestions for you to avoid getting a cold.‎ First, you can avoid catching a cold by practicing healthy habits. Begin by eating healthy foods. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables and drink milk and juice. Other healthy habits include getting plenty of sleep at night and lots of exercise.‎ Next, you should try to avoid contact with the viruses that cause colds. If you can, stay away from large crowds. When people cough (咳嗽) and sneeze (打喷嚏), the cold virus goes into the air. Do not share a drinking cup, fork, or spoon with someone else because that could spread the virus. Washing your hands is also a good way not to catch a cold. The cold virus may be on the things like telephones and money. Shaking another person’s hand could even spread the virus. By washing your hands, you can stop the virus from infecting (传染).‎ Following the suggestion above until doctors find a way to stop the viruses that cause colds.‎ ‎76. Each child in school catches colds every year.‎ ‎77. Though there is no cure, there are some for you to avoid getting a cold.‎ ‎78. When people cough and sneeze, the cold virus the air.‎ ‎79.

This was the longest and most dangerous part of their t 81 around the world. Earhart had trouble soon after the plane took off. The weather was very bad, so she had to f 82 at 3,000 metres. Going this high, the plane used fuel quickly.‎ After about 20 h 83 , Earhart and Noonan got close to Howland Island. The island was o 84 about 65 miles away, but the bright sun was shining in their faces so they couldn’t see it. Near Howland, a ship was w 85 for the plane. Earhart contacted the ship: “We don’t have enough fuel.” she said. The ship tried to stay in touch with her b 86 got no answer. Finally, the ship called for help. People looked for Earhart and Noonan for days. However, they found nothing.‎ What happened to Amelia Earhart? No one knows for sure. D 87 the flight, she probably moved in the wrong direction (方向) because the sun was bright and it was d 88 to see. So she got lost; soon after, her plane ran out of fuel, and she died at sea. Another idea is that she survived (幸存) the plane crash (飞机失事), s 89 to a lonely island, and later died there. Still other think she survived the crash and secretly returned to the U.S. with a new identity (身份).‎ Till now, none of these i 90 has been proved. People are still wondering about them. (Noonan’s body has never been found either.) No matter what happened, Earhart probably died as she wished. “When I go,” she said, “I’d like best to go in my plane.”‎ ‎81．travel/tour/trip环游世界,所以这里表示旅行且以t打头的单词都可以.但是由于trip比较常见的是短途旅行,所以此空最佳答案是travel/tour.‎ ‎82．fly首先此空应填一个动词,再根据前面一句“…… the plane took off.”得知这个空应是fly.‎ ‎83． hours这里应该填一个表示时间的名词,所以此空填hours.‎ ‎84． only“but……”这一句说明他们离岛不远,所以此空填only.‎ ‎85． waiting “wait for sb/sth”等待某人或某物,前面有be动词,所以这里应填waiting.‎ ‎86． but根据这一句的逻辑得知这里应该是转折关系,所以此处填but.‎ ‎87． During首先此空应填一个介词,根据后文它想表达的是在飞行过程中,所以这里应填During.‎ ‎88． difficult太阳光太强所以很难看见,并且第二段的第二句也说了看不见,所以此空应填difficult.‎ ‎89．swam“to a lonely island”是“到一个孤岛上”,由后面的and知道这一句有三个并列的动词,所以此空应填一个动词,那怎么到孤岛呢,根据飞机失事后人掉海洋里得知应该是从海洋游到岛上,且注意时态,所以此空填swam.‎ ‎90．ideas 根据第三段第四句的“another idea”得知第三段讲的各种ideas,所以此空填ideas. ‎ 九、书面表达（本大题共15分）‎ ‎91. 在初中即将毕业之际，请你以张明的名义给英国笔友Brian写一封感谢信，要点提示如下：‎ 三年前 你来到新的班级，没有朋友，感到孤独 三年中 Brian多次给你写信，他在信中：‎ 鼓励你多交朋友；告诉你学好英语的方法；和你分享快乐；你变得......‎ 近年来天津发生很大变化，你邀请他来天津游玩 参考词汇：分享快乐 share happiness 要求：（1）词数：80～100个；（2）信的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数；（3）要点齐全，行文连贯，可适当发挥。‎ Dear Brian,‎ How time flies!
