He set off, walking towards the king's castle. After many years of walking, the king's castle came into his view. However, as the boy drew closer to the outside of the castle, the guards noticed him.“Get out of here!” ordered the guards.Well, the little boy didn't have to be told twice. He turned. and ran. All he wanted to do was tell the king wonderful things, and see all the beautiful things in the king's house. But he couldn't even get near the castle! The boy finally stopped running, sat down and cried.A young man happened to be coming down the path at the very moment. He saw the little boy and stopped. “What's wrong, young man?” he asked. “Sir, I walked and walked just to see the king. But these guards made me scared. I wanted to tell the king how lovely everything is and that I just wanted to see him！”The man looked at the little boy thoughtfully. “Look, why don't you try again? I'll come with you this time.”The little boy got up and took the man's hand. The king's guards spotted them.“Look, mister, we don't have to do this.I don't want you to get hurt. We can just turn around now.”The man held the little boy's hand and went on. The boy really thought the man might be crazy until he looked back up at the guards. They were all smiling now. The little boy was amazed.“Who are you?” asked the little boy in astonishment.“Why, I'm the king's son. You can enter the castle and be with the king,” said the man.The little boy broke into a huge smile.1. Why did the boy want to see the king?A. To get some help from the king. B.

However, we often forget that polar bears are hunters, which mainly get their food by eating seas, walruses(海象）and whales. Sometimes they even attack humans.In August 2011,a polar bear killed a British boy and injured several others on the island of Spitsbergen, Norway. This is, by no means, the only attack of polar bears against people. In the past 20 years about six people have been killed by polar bears in Canada alone. In Norway, one person was killed in the same time period.Recent studies show that the aggression(攻擊性行為)polar bears show towards humans is increasing. One of the reasons may be climate change. As it gets warmer in the Arctic region, polar bears may be forced to move from the coastline to inland, so they may encounter(遇到）more humans. They are starting to spend more time on land than on Arctic sea ice. Another reason may be that people are coming too close to the bears, who see them as dangerous enemies.Polar bears live all across the Arctic region, in Russia, Scandinavia, and Canada. But their numbers are falling quickly. Polar bears do most of their hunting on sea ice. As more and more ice is melting, experts think that fewer polar bears will be able to survive. They can go on for a long time without food, but they do get aggressive when they can't find anything to eat.When polar bears attack humans, it is mostly because they are very hungry, desperately in need of food. As more and more polar bears and humans are starting to share the same living areas, attacks will probably be more frequent and as a result more people may die from it.1. The first paragraph aims to tell us that _ .A .polar bears are in great danger now B. polar bears are lovely but dangerousC. polar bears live on many kinds of food D. polar bears are good at hunting for food2. As the weather gets warmer, polar bears _ .A. have to move farther away from the inland area B. will spend more time under the surface of waterC. will become more dependent on Arctic sea ice D. have to reduce their activity in the coastal areas3. What can we conclude from the fourth paragraph?A. Polar bears usually hunt for food in groups. B. Canada has the largest number of polar bears.C. Sea ice is the key to the survival of polar bears. D. Polar bears can only be found in two countries.4. What's the author's tone in writing the passage?A. Regretful. B. Proud. C. Concerned. D. Annoyed.4、    Charles Darwin is the author of The Origin of Species. But his last book. The Formation of Vegetable Mould through the Action of Worms, gets far less attention today. He wrote about their habits, their soil-tilling (犁地） abilities, and even kept pots of worm-filled soil in his study. But his fascination was met with the ridicule of some people.    Olaf Schmidt is a soil ecologist at University College Dublin, and not among those who would criticize Darwin for his interest. He said, " I love earthworms. They are brilliant. They're our friends. Theyre really important."    One particularly interesting group of worms, he says,are the so-called “anecic” worms:the deep soil dwellers(居民). And they live all their life in a single vertical channel in the soil. And at night they surface, looking for foodanimal waste, straw, and they pull it into their channels.    Theyre big boys,which makes them especially vulnerable(易受攻擊的) to the plow. You know they're so big, so they're easily chopped, and they are exposed to birds.    Schmidt and his colleague Maria Briones analyzed the relationship between tilling the soil and the health of a dozen species of earthworms.They looked at 65 years' worth of farm field studies, spanning the globe.    And they found that in heavily plowed fields, half the earthworms had disappeared. But when farmers switched to no-till or conservation agriculture, worm populations came back to normal numbers after about a decade. The study is in the journal Global Change Biology.    The plow, Darwin wrote, is one of the most ancient and most valuable man's inventions, but long before it existed the land was in fact regularly plowed, and still continues to be thus plowed by earthworms. Schmidt says, "Just as the worms look after the soil, the other side is true, too. If you look after the soil, you will also look after the earthworms.You know it is a good-news story.”1.What does Darwin have in common with Schmidt?A.They share the same interest in agriculture.B.They both write books on the same topic.C.They both think much of earthworms.D.They both dislike the invention of the plow.2.What does the underlined word "it" in Para.3 refer to?A.Food.B.Straw.C.Animal waste.D.Different stuff.3.Which of the following was probably the finding of Olaf Schmidt's studies?A.Earthworms suffered because of the application of the plow.B.Farmers showed no interest in modern agriculture.C.Traditional agriculture did harm to earthworms.D.The plow was a must for farmars.4.What is probably the purpose of the text?A.To introduce the plow.B.To promote Darwin's book.C.To inspire interest in agriculture.D.To attract attention to earthworms.5、Friendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends. Good friendship has many benefits. It offers companionship, improves self-worth and promotes health.There are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town, or changed our jobs or schools.Such changes often leave us without a friend. Making new friends comes easy for some people. But for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage. 41   42 The first step to making friends is associating with people. You can go to public places to meet new people. Besides, you will need to make yourself known by becoming an active member of such places. Start a conversation  Starting a conversation is the second most important step in making new friends. 43 . You can always start the conversation. Being able to make small talk is a very useful skill in relating with other people.   44 Choosing friends with common interests is important in building friendship as these interests would always bring you and your friend together. Hanging out will always be a pleasant experience. Let it grow. It is a good thing to stay in touch. However, try not to press your new friend with calls, messages or visits as this would likely wear him or her out and finally you may youre your friend. So you will need to give your friend time to react（做出反應(yīng)）to you. The best friendships are the ones that grow naturally. Enjoy your friendship The best way to enjoy your friendship is to allow your friends to be themselves. 45 .Try not to change them from who they are to what you want them to be.  Become the kind of friend you will want your friend to be to you. A. Be cheerful. Do things together.B. Do not wait to be spoken to. Try not to find fault with your friends.C. Below are some helpful suggestions on how to make and keep friends. F. For a friendship to develop you need to stay in touch. G. Associate with others.6、When a person is curious(好奇的) about something, it means he is interested in it and wishes to know more about it. There is nothing    1   with curiosity in itself. Whether it is good or bad      2   on what people are curious about.       Curiosity (好奇心) is     3     silly or wrong. Some people with nothing to do are    4    of curiosity about what their neighbors are doing. They are     5     to know what they are eating or drinking, what they are bringing home or taking out or     6    they have come home so early or late. To be interested in these things is     7     because they are not important at all. It is none of their     8      to know what neighbors do or are doing. Such curiosity is    9     not only foolish but also harmful. For most probably, it     10      to small talk which often brings     11     , shame or disrespect to others, and thus hurt their feelings.      On the other      12     , there is a noble curiosity the curiosity of the wise, who     13      at all the great things and try to find out all they     14     about them. Columbus could    15      have found America if he had not been  16  . James Watt would not have made the steam engine      17     his curiosity about the raising of the kettle lid (水壺蓋). All the great discoveries and inventions in human history have been made     18      a result of curiosity. So the curiosity is never    19    unimportant things, which have    20    or nothing to do with the happiness of the public.1.A.good           B.wrong           C.right                D.well 2.A.works          B.puts               C.takes             D.depends 3.A.never          B.sometimes     C.seldom         D.hardly 4.A.full               B.fond                C.proud             D.lack5.A.angry          B.worried           C.pleased        D.anxious 6.A.how             B.when              C.why                D.where 7.A.silly              B.necessary      C.possible      D.funny 8.A.work            B.homework     C.duty               D.business9.A.nothing        B.anything         C.something    D.everything 10.A.refers          B.leads              C.causes         D.results 11.A.pride           B.harm               C.good            D.benefit 12.A.face            B.side                C.way               D.hand 13.A.expect         B.like                 C.wonder        D.hate 14.A.need           B.dare                C.must             D.can 15.A.never          B.ever                C.probably       D.finally 16.A.famous      B.careful             C.curious         D.hard 17.A.for               B.without            C.in                  D.from 18.A.before         B.as                  C.after              D.during 19.A.about          B.by                   C.at                  D.to 20.A.much          B.little                C.some             D.few 7、閱讀下面材料,在空白處填入適當(dāng)?shù)膬?nèi)容 (1個單詞) 或括號內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。    Character is like a tree and reputation is like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.   In a world obsessed (癡迷的) with image, its much _ (easy) to worry too much about our reputation and too little about our character. Building _reputation is largely a public-relations project; building character requires that we _(focus) on our values and actions.    Character _(expose) by actions, not words, especially when theres a gap between what we want to do and what we should do and when doing the right thing costs more than we want to pay.    _(show) by how we deal with pressures and temptations (誘惑), our character is also disclosed (暴露) by everyday _(act), what we say and do when we think no one is looking and we wont get caught.    The way we treat people who we think cant help or hurt _, tells more about our character than _we treat people who we think are important. People who are honest, kind, and fair only when theres something _(gain) shouldnt be confused with people of real character who demonstrate (展示) these qualities habitually,  _all circumstances.    Character is not a fancy coat we put on for show. Its who we really are. 8、請你修改以下短文。文中共有10處語言錯誤，每句最多有兩處。每處錯誤僅涉及一個單詞的增加、刪除或修改。增加：在缺詞處加一個漏字符號（），并在其下面寫出該加的詞。刪除：把多余的詞用斜線（）劃掉。修改：在錯的詞下劃一橫線，并在該詞下面寫出修改后的詞。注意：1. 每處錯誤及其修改均僅限一詞； 2. 只允許修改10處，多者（從第l1處起）不計分。I have a good friend her name is Liu Mei.
