It was an unforgettable experience. When I crossed the border(國(guó)境) with my classmates,I saw many poor houses. I was worried that I might face some problems from our living conditions(條件).I was right. We had to sleep in a very small room-18 girls lived together.As there was not enough water, we had to save it day in and day out.For example, we were only allowed five minutes to bathe(洗澡). Although the conditions were bad, we did many things to help children there, like teaching and cleaning. The most difficult thing for me was taking care of babies who were less than 1 year old. That was the first time I had held a baby. It was not easy at all. The babies kept crying on my shoulder(肩膀) whatever I did. When I fed them, they still didnt calm down. After a while, I was tired from the pain (疼痛）in my back and shoulders. I realized how much my parents did for me when I was small. When we were about to leave,a 5-year-old girl gave her teddy bear to us. It was her Christmas gift. Seeing her smiley face and the clean orphanage,we felt so proud（自豪）of ourselves.Answer the following questions:61. Where did the writer do volunteer work?_62. What kind of problems did the writer face?(1)_(2)_63.What was the most difficult thing for the writer?_64. What did the writer learn from taking care of babies?_65.Did the children there like the writer and her classmates?_寫(xiě)作技能（共三節(jié)，計(jì)30分）第一節(jié) 完成對(duì)話(5小題，計(jì)10分)根據(jù)上下文將下面的對(duì)話補(bǔ)充完整。（M:Mary K:Kangkang)M: Hi.

Others are practicing sports so that they can compete and win.72.然而，這種狀況不僅僅只發(fā)生在中國(guó)。The Taylors are a typical American family. Life for Cathy Taylors three children is very busy. “On most days after school,” Cathy says,”I take one of my two boys to basketball practice and my daughter to football training.

I really want them to be successful. ” 73.However, the tired children dont get home until after 7:00 p.m. They have a quick dinner, and then its time for homework.74.Doctors say too much pressure is not good for a childs development.Dr.Alice Green says all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children.75.孩子們應(yīng)該有時(shí)間來(lái)放松。Although its normal to want successful children,its even more important to have happy children.”71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 第三節(jié) 書(shū)面表達(dá) （計(jì)10分）假如上周日你參加了云龍社區(qū)的Yard Sale活動(dòng)，請(qǐng)給你們學(xué)校?？腅nglish Club欄目寫(xiě)篇關(guān)于此次活動(dòng)的介紹。要點(diǎn)如下：1.有200多人參加了此次活動(dòng)；2.有的人出售舊東西，如衣服、玩具、自行車等；3.有的人出售自制蛋糕、卡片、書(shū)簽等；4.還有的人交換舊書(shū)；5.請(qǐng)寫(xiě)一至兩點(diǎn)你對(duì)此次活動(dòng)的看法。（注意：詞數(shù) 60-80）參考詞匯：Yunlong Community n.云龍社區(qū)exchange v. 交換used adj. 舊的；使用過(guò)的 8
