She suffered from a disease and had to use a walker most of the time. People didn‘t speak to her very often. Maybe it was because she looked 16 and people didn‘t know how to come near to her. Tina usually broke the ice with people she met with a big ― 17 .‖In one class, I gave the students an assignment （作业）to 18 a poem. I only made the assignment worth a very small part of their total grade since I knew most of my 19 would not do it anyway. In the class, one by one each student 20 to correctly recite （背诵）the poem. Finally, angry and half joking, I said that the next student who 21 recite the poem had to do three push-up （俯卧撑）. To my 22 , Tina was next. She used her walker to move to the front of the class. 23 she recited, she made a mistake. Before I could say a word, she 24 her walker and started doing push-ups. I wanted to say, ―Tina, I was just 25 !”But she 26 , continued the poem and she finished the rest perfectly.When she finished, a student asked, ―Tina, why did you do that?

But the history of Sherlock dates back 127 years.Since the creation of Holmes in 1887, he has been taking us on adventures（冒险）one after another.The Sherlock series is a playful drama, covered in crimes and mystery. It gives us a modern Sherlock for a new generation, who solves cases with the help of the Internet, cell phones and GPS. People look to Sherlock for both adventure and inspiration（灵感）. Each case sends us on a mysterious journey with Holmes. The stories give life and color to our imagination: as he checks the crime scene, we join him and become detectives too, looking out for hidden clues.Yet Holmes is no Superman. He cannot fly, or turn invisible（隐形的）. But his powers are within all of us: reason, logical thinking and paying attention to detail. While an artist‘s painting is his art, Sherlock‘s art is his intelligence（聪明才智）. He is human, and this is what makes Holmes a true hero for all of us.In the new series of Sherlock, most people thought Holmes was dead. But he returns after two years of hiding in the shadows. Now the whole city of London is in danger. What can Holmes possibly do? Uncover the mystery yourself by watching the new series!36. Sherlock was created in _________.A. 2014B. 1973C. 1887D. 190037. From the passage, we learn that Sherlock Holmes _________.A. invites some of his friends to help him with casesB. refuses to use modern technologyC. has super powers that helped many peopleD. is admired for his intelligence38. In the new series of Sherlock, Holmes returns after _________.A. dyingB. getting a special powerC. hidingD. going abroad39. The writer wrote the passage to __________.A. compare Sherlock Holmes with SupermanB. explain how Holmes solves casesC. ask people to learn from Sherlock HolmesD. explain why Holmes is so popular40. Where can you probably read the article?A. TV Guide.B. Science fiction book.C. Detective stories.D. Travel Guide.CTaking away a city‘s rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can't eat or use. If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump. Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs and other places.To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you‘d never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus （腐殖质）, which looks like black earth. It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help them grow. 41. Where is the rubbish put after it is taken outside of city?A. On the mountainB. In the waterC. In low placesD. In special places 42. The main idea of the passage is_________.A. to let us know taking away rubbish is a big jobB. to explain the need for rubbish collectionC. to introduce different ways to treat rubbishD. to tell people to take useful things out of rubbish43. The underlined word ―sewage‖in the passage means_________. A. 排污 B. 染色 C. 洗涤 D. 吸尘44. According to the passage, the food parts of rubbish can be used again_________.A. to feed animalsB. to feed plantsC. to build a houseD. to make machines 45. How should we take care of a used metal box according to the passage? A. By burning it off. B. By putting it in water. C. By throwing it away. D. By reusing and recycling it.DHaving a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, wear strange hairstyle and even fight. Basically （基本上）, they are often taking risks.Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So what‘s the reason?According to Laurence, a teacher from a US university, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers （同龄人）view them —that is ―peer influence‖.As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates, and also they care more about what they think of them. This makes teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs.In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they drove more safely. Why do peers have such a big influence on teens‘ behavior?As Laurence sees it, a teenager‘s brain is like a car with a good accelerator （油门）but a weak brake （刹车）. The ―accelerator‖ is fully developed by teenage years while the ―brake‖ is still not fully developed. When teenagers are watched by their peers, they usually push hard on the accelerator. With their weak brake, it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident.But the good news is that a violent （暴力的）teenager doesn‘t necessarily become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it. ―They get more self-controlled.‖46. What does the underlined word ―irrational‖ in the 2nd paragraph mean? A. Quick. B. Crazy. C. Careful. D. Correct. 47. Why are teenagers often taking risks according to the text?A. They like difficult tasks.B. They don‘t care about costs.C. They are too young to tell right from wrong.D. They care a lot about what their peers think of them.48. How does Laurence explain the influence of peer influence on teens‘ behavior? A. By using a metaphor （比喻）. B. By giving examples.C. By presenting research findings.D. By performing an in-depth analysis （分析）. 49. According to the text, with peers around them, teenagers tend to （倾向于）______. A. use more self-control B. become more careful about what they do C. perform better than when they are alone D. focus more on short-term benefits （利益） 50. What can we learn from the text?A. Teenagers are easy to have traffic accidents.B. Peer influence is bad on teenagers.C. Most of the teenagers become less violent when they grow up.D. Teenagers shouldn‘t spend all the free time with their friends.第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（共50分）四、阅读表达（阅读短文，按要求完成短文后的各项任务）（10分）What is the strongest part of your body? Your head? Bones? It‘s your teeth! There is a special thing called enamel （牙釉质）in teeth. It is the hardest thing in the human body and keeps bacteria （细菌）away. However, teeth are vulnerable （易受伤害的）to problems and disease. September 20 is National Teeth-loving Day in China. Let‘s pay attention to the health of our teeth.Tooth （1） are （1） around the world. Most children andyoung adults have tooth decay （龋齿）. A study published on China Health Monthly magazine this year showed that 40.74 percent of a sample （抽样）of 1,306 Chinese students under age 15 had decayed teeth.（2）Food that is rich in sugar increases the risk of tooth decay. After you eat, bacteria go crazy over the sugar on your teeth, like ants at a picnic. The bacteria turn sugar into acids （酸）that eat away at tooth enamel. This cause holes in your teeth.Another common problem is crooked teeth （龅牙）. When your new teeth begin to grow and the old teeth haven‘t fallen out, there isn‘t enough space for the new ones. This causes crooked teeth.Don‘t worry. Here are some ways to keep your teeth healthy. Brush at least twice a day – in the morning and before bedtime. Learn to use dental floss （牙线）. The floss gets rid of food that‘s hidden where your toothbrush can‘t get it.Visit a dentist. He or she can check if you have any dental problems and help you clean your teeth.Pay attention to what you eat. It is better to eat lots of fruits and vegetables instead of fries and drink water instead of soda.Wear braces （牙套）to make your teeth straight and beautiful.51. 在（1）处的空白处分别填入一个适当的词使句意完整、上下文通顺。

Now satellites are helping to forecast（预报）the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere, because this is where the weather forms. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（气象学家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them w ith earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon chan ge, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 ho urs. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead.【小题1】Satellites travel _____________.A．in space B．in the atmosphereC．above the ground D．above space【小题2】Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere?

English is spoken as a first language by most people in the USA，Britain，Australia，New Zealand，Ireland and Canada. However，English is spoke n all over the world. It is the main language in over 60 countries，including India，Singapore and many of the Caribbean and Pacific islands. In these place s English is often a second language.English is also an international language in many other countries，like China and Japan. People in these countries use it for business，and travelers to thesecountries use English when they get there to communicate. Other people may learn English because they enjoy reading books in English，listening to Britis h or American music or watching American films.English has changed a lot over the years and still goes on changing. It is no longer right to talk about British English or American English if the speakers co me or don’t come from those countries. People in Japan and Korea，for example，may use the American spelling but may not sound like Americans. English will probably be the most widely used language in the world by the end of the 21st century. This language no longer belongs to British，American or Australian speakers. It belongs to anyone in the world. So，as a middle school student of English today, think about how you can use this language. After you leave school, you will almost certainly need it.【小题1】In how many countries is English spoken as a first language in the passage?A．Five.B．Four.C．Three.D．Six.【小题2】In which other countries is English spoken as a main language?A．Britain, the USA and Australia.B．India, Singapore and many of the Caribbean and Pacific islands.C．China and Japan.D．New Zealand and Canada.【小题3】 People from other countries learn English for ________.A．passing examsB．business and travelingC．reading English books, enjoying English music or filmsD．both B and C【小题4】Even if people in Japan and Korea use American spelling they ________.A．will speak the same as AmericansB．may not sound like AmericansC．will speak British EnglishD．will speak English much better【小题5】 Which is the best title for the passage?A．A First Language in the World B．A Second Language in the WorldC．English around the World D．A Useful Language四、填写适当的句子补全对话25. 用所给词的适当形式填空(10分)【小题1】___________, life on Mars will be better in many ways.(hope)【小题2】Tomorrow is Mr. Wang’s_________(40) birthday but he looks in his thirties.【小题3】They have a lively ____________ (discuss)after the scientist’s excellent talk .【小题4】_____________ (compare)with the cars made in Japan, I like the one made in Germany better.【小题5】The big prize belongs to one of the most famous_____________(invent).【小题6】I don’t think man will have robots______________(control) computers in the future.【小题7】Are you certain meals in the form of pills are even___________(taste)?【小题8】How many___________( spacecraft) have been sent up to the space?【小题9】They will have to wear special boots ______________(prevent) people jumping too high,.【小题10】When I got home, the coins_______________ (spread) all over the floor.五、多任务混合问题26. There is no doubt that a mother plays an important leading role in the lives of their children. But what about a ①① ? Fathers play just as important a role as mothers.Fathers give us support. They are the shore（岸）we swim to when our arms and legs feel tired. ②They are the strength we rely on （依靠）as we take ou r first steps into the world. Fathers can be gentle and powerful, but they probably have the simplest love we ever know.For sons, the father is their first hero and possibly the only man they will ever feel comfortable loving.For daughters, the father is the first man they admire and the first man whose eyes shine with happiness when they look at them. He is the first man to fall in love with them.For mothers, the father of our children is the person we can believe in to watch over the babies as closely as we would. We are protectedin the knowledge of their love. A father is the person on the planet with whom we can do whatever we want ... one who will be just as interested and never feel bored in the face of our devotion.Without fathers, we wouldn't be mums. I would like to thank them from all our hearts for this honor and for being our partners in the business of raising chil dren.【小题1】在①处填上适当的词，使文章完整。

She suffered from a disease and had to use a walker most of the time. People didn‘t speak to her very often. Maybe it was because she looked 16 and people didn‘t know how to come near to her. Tina usually broke the ice with people she met with a big ― 17 .‖In one class, I gave the students an assignment （作业）to 18 a poem. I only made the assignment worth a very small part of their total grade since I knew most of my 19 would not do it anyway. In the class, one by one each student 20 to correctly recite （背诵）the poem.

It‘s not an important assignment!‖―Because I want to be like you guys! To be 27 .‖ Tina said.Silence fell on the whole room when another student cried out, ―Tina, we‘re not normal! We are teenagers! We get in 28 all the time.‖―I know,‖ Tina said as a big 29 spread across her face. The rest of the students laughed, too.

But the history of Sherlock dates back 127 years.Since the creation of Holmes in 1887, he has been taking us on adventures（冒险）one after another.The Sherlock series is a playful drama, covered in crimes and mystery. It gives us a modern Sherlock for a new generation, who solves cases with the help of the Internet, cell phones and GPS. People look to Sherlock for both adventure and inspiration（灵感）. Each case sends us on a mysterious journey with Holmes. The stories give life and color to our imagination: as he checks the crime scene, we join him and become detectives too, looking out for hidden clues.Yet Holmes is no Superman. He cannot fly, or turn invisible（隐形的）. But his powers are within all of us: reason, logical thinking and paying attention to detail. While an artist‘s painting is his art, Sherlock‘s art is his intelligence（聪明才智）. He is human, and this is what makes Holmes a true hero for all of us.In the new series of Sherlock, most people thought Holmes was dead. But he returns after two years of hiding in the shadows. Now the whole city of London is in danger. What can Holmes possibly do? Uncover the mystery yourself by watching the new series!36. Sherlock was created in _________.A. 2014B. 1973C. 1887D. 190037. From the passage, we learn that Sherlock Holmes _________.A. invites some of his friends to help him with casesB. refuses to use modern technologyC. has super powers that helped many peopleD. is admired for his intelligence38. In the new series of Sherlock, Holmes returns after _________.A. dyingB. getting a special powerC. hidingD. going abroad39. The writer wrote the passage to __________.A. compare Sherlock Holmes with SupermanB. explain how Holmes solves casesC. ask people to learn from Sherlock HolmesD. explain why Holmes is so popular40. Where can you probably read the article?A. TV Guide.B. Science fiction book.C. Detective stories.D. Travel Guide.CTaking away a city‘s rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can't eat or use. If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump. Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs and other places.To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you‘d never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus （腐殖质）, which looks like black earth. It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help them grow. 41. Where is the rubbish put after it is taken outside of city?A. On the mountainB. In the waterC. In low placesD. In special places 42. The main idea of the passage is_________.A. to let us know taking away rubbish is a big jobB. to explain the need for rubbish collectionC. to introduce different ways to treat rubbishD. to tell people to take useful things out of rubbish43. The underlined word ―sewage‖in the passage means_________. A. 排污 B. 染色 C. 洗涤 D. 吸尘44. According to the passage, the food parts of rubbish can be used again_________.A. to feed animalsB. to feed plantsC. to build a houseD. to make machines 45. How should we take care of a used metal box according to the passage? A. By burning it off. B. By putting it in water. C. By throwing it away. D. By reusing and recycling it.DHaving a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, wear strange hairstyle and even fight. Basically （基本上）, they are often taking risks.Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So what‘s the reason?According to Laurence, a teacher from a US university, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers （同龄人）view them —that is ―peer influence‖.As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates, and also they care more about what they think of them. This makes teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs.In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they drove more safely. Why do peers have such a big influence on teens‘ behavior?As Laurence sees it, a teenager‘s brain is like a car with a good accelerator （油门）but a weak brake （刹车）. The ―accelerator‖ is fully developed by teenage years while the ―brake‖ is still not fully developed. When teenagers are watched by their peers, they usually push hard on the accelerator. With their weak brake, it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident.But the good news is that a violent （暴力的）teenager doesn‘t necessarily become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it. ―They get more self-controlled.‖46. What does the underlined word ―irrational‖ in the 2nd paragraph mean? A. Quick. B. Crazy. C. Careful. D. Correct. 47. Why are teenagers often taking risks according to the text?A. They like difficult tasks.B. They don‘t care about costs.C. They are too young to tell right from wrong.D. They care a lot about what their peers think of them.48. How does Laurence explain the influence of peer influence on teens‘ behavior? A. By using a metaphor （比喻）. B. By giving examples.C. By presenting research findings.D. By performing an in-depth analysis （分析）. 49. According to the text, with peers around them, teenagers tend to （倾向于）______. A. use more self-control B. become more careful about what they do C. perform better than when they are alone D. focus more on short-term benefits （利益） 50. What can we learn from the text?A. Teenagers are easy to have traffic accidents.B. Peer influence is bad on teenagers.C. Most of the teenagers become less violent when they grow up.D. Teenagers shouldn‘t spend all the free time with their friends.第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（共50分）四、阅读表达（阅读短文，按要求完成短文后的各项任务）（10分）What is the strongest part of your body? Your head? Bones? It‘s your teeth! There is a special thing called enamel （牙釉质）in teeth. It is the hardest thing in the human body and keeps bacteria （细菌）away. However, teeth are vulnerable （易受伤害的）to problems and disease. September 20 is National Teeth-loving Day in China. Let‘s pay attention to the health of our teeth.Tooth （1） are （1） around the world. Most children andyoung adults have tooth decay （龋齿）. A study published on China Health Monthly magazine this year showed that 40.74 percent of a sample （抽样）of 1,306 Chinese students under age 15 had decayed teeth.（2）Food that is rich in sugar increases the risk of tooth decay. After you eat, bacteria go crazy over the sugar on your teeth, like ants at a picnic. The bacteria turn sugar into acids （酸）that eat away at tooth enamel. This cause holes in your teeth.Another common problem is crooked teeth （龅牙）. When your new teeth begin to grow and the old teeth haven‘t fallen out, there isn‘t enough space for the new ones. This causes crooked teeth.Don‘t worry. Here are some ways to keep your teeth healthy. Brush at least twice a day – in the morning and before bedtime. Learn to use dental floss （牙线）. The floss gets rid of food that‘s hidden where your toothbrush can‘t get it.Visit a dentist. He or she can check if you have any dental problems and help you clean your teeth.Pay attention to what you eat. It is better to eat lots of fruits and vegetables instead of fries and drink water instead of soda.Wear braces （牙套）to make your teeth straight and beautiful.51. 在（1）处的空白处分别填入一个适当的词使句意完整、上下文通顺。

Looking at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother, “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”I never saw her get angry, and never saw her cry. I knew she loved me, and she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened and a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional（易动感情的）”, but she lived “on the surface”.As years went by and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way that she did forgive me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer. It didn’t come.It seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to her.I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told me that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work, though she had never been able to. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside… a photo of my father and a one-paper letter. Folded（折叠）and refolded many times.Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.（）56. The writer began to love her mother’s desk ______.A. after mother diedB. when she was a childC. before she became a writerD. when mother gave it to her（）57.

She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in her life.D. She had never received the letter.（）60. What’s the best title of the passage？A. My Letter to MotherB. Mother and ChildrenC. My Mother’s DeskD. Talks Between Mother and MeBHeight is just one of the features your genes（基因）decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then most probably you will be tall, too. But if you have questions about how tall you’re going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find them out.But genes don’t decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential（潜力）. Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height.It’s natural that you’re wondering how fast you should grow. There’s no perfect or right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 6 cm a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty.Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. 2 cm here and 3 cm there make a little difference to the height you’re at now. How have you been growing up to this height？What other changes may your body be going through？Don’t be amazed if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt（高峰）during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later — between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.You’ll usually begin to notice that you’re growing faster about a year after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.（）61. If you want to know how tall you should grow, _______.A. you should have enough exerciseB. you can ask doctors for helpC. you should take some special medicineD. you can record your growth during puberty（）62. The Chinese for the word “puberty ” is _______.A. 童年时期B. 婴幼儿时期C. 习惯养成期D. 生长发育期（）63. This passage is mainly about ______.A. how the genes work in your bodyB. how your parents’ height influence youC. how you look like your parentsD. how you grow to a certain height（）64. After reading this passage, we can explain ______.A. how good it is to be a doctorB. how much sleep time we needC. why genes can’t decide everythingD. what healthy diet is（）65. Which is NOT mentioned in the passage？A. Your height most probably depends on how tall your parents are.B. Girls’ age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for boys’.C. The features showing the first changes of puberty between boys and girls aredifferent.D. You may be amazed sometimes when you grow too fast.CMike Myers is a teacher at Chauncey Rose High School in Terre Haute, Indiana. Last year, he taught his students about the world’s rain forests. They learned that rain forests are important because the plants and animals of the rain forest give us food, wood, and medicine.Destruction of the world’s rain forests is a serious problem. Unluckily, rain forests aredisappearing at a rate of 80 acres per minute! As part of a class project, Myers’ students bought three acres of rain forest in Central America. They paid $25 per acre. The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed. The students became so interested in rain forests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rain forest.So last June, Myers and four of his students took a boat ride down a river. They saw alligators and crocodiles. In the middle of the week, a guide took Myers and his students into the rain forest. “The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest. They broke small branches off the trees and threw them at us,” one of the students said, “It was a great learning experience for all of us,” said Myers.Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants, animals, food, and culture. During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities. They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding, and visited Costa Rica’s active volcano.Myers hopes to make the trip every year with a different group of kids.（）66. How much did Myers’ students pay for the rain forest they bought?A. $25 B . $75 C. $80 D. $2,000（）67. What did Myers and his students do at the beginning of the trip?A. They went into the rain forest.B. They bought acres of rain forest.C. They took a boat ride down a river.D. They visited Costa Rica’s active volcano.（）68.

When the monkeys saw Myers and his students, they ___________.A. felt excitedB. felt angryC. jumped off the treesD. left the rain forest （）70. The passage mainly shows that Myers and his students __________.A. did something to protect rain forestB. wanted to buy the rain forest in Costa RicaC. were interested in the culture of Costa RicaD. went to the rain forest for various fun activities第二部分　非选择题（共65分）五、词形变化（15分）1.

But if we think about what is going on in our lives, we can usually come up with an answer. Let’s look at some of the most common dreams. What do these dreams mean?　Falling　You’re falling, falling, falling… and then you wake up. This dream is said to mean you are afraid of something or worried about something. There may be something in your life that is out ofcontrol and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Another explanation is that you may fail in something. Maybe you’re not doing well in school or work.　Taking an exam（or forgetting that you have one）　You suddenly realize you have to take an exam at that very moment. You might be running here and there to find your classroom. Experts say this dream may mean you’re being tested about something or maybe you are facing a challenge.　Flying　Dreaming that you are flying means you are on top of things.
