It doesnt have many exciting activities.D. It has nothing in common with De Efteling.BHello. Im Jan from Mrs. Lakes class. My class wants to work together to help the public. We think we have found a great way to do this. Last month we did a class project on the highways near our town. We learned about the Adopt-a-Highway Program. This program brings people together to pick up litter along the roads. We think it would be a great idea for all students in our school to join the program and adopt a highway.Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet. When a highway is adopted, only part of the highway is cared for by a group of people. The group agrees to work every week to keep its part of the highway clean. Each group gets its own sign that has the name of the group printed on it. The sign is put up at the side of the road. This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road clean.The Adopt-a-Highway Program is a great way for people to help their environment look nicer. Also, the government does not have to send out as many road workers. This saves money. Finally, people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people, especially teenagers like us, cleaning them up. We will need helpers to care for our adopted highway. If you want to feel great and keep our roads clean，please come with your parents to the meeting next week. We will meet in Mrs. Lakes room on Wednesday at 6:00 P.M. At the meeting, we will talk about which roads are the dirtiest as a result of peoples unkind acts. Then well try to pick an area to adopt and clean. I look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Remember to keep our roads clean!4. What is the Adopt-a-Highway Program about? A. Giving names to the highways.B. Drawing pictures of highways. C. Picking up litter along the roads.D. Putting up signs near the roads.5. What should the students do first if they want to join the program? A. Pick a spot to care for.B. Go to a meeting on Wednesday. C. Write a letter to their parents.D. Call Mrs. Lake next week.6. What is the purpose of this speech? A. To encourage students to join the program. B. To introduce the traffic system. C. To show drivers how to drive safely. D. To tell a story about adopting a highway.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Adopt-a-PetB. Volunteers on Roads C. Ways to Protect the EnvironmentD. Adopt-a-Highway CUnderstanding ones own history is important for young peoples learning and development. Students are often asked to write a story about crown familys history or about a special person in their family. But too rarely do students focus on the history of their own community or their own people, in a way that helps them to understand why they find themselves in a particular place.When people understand their own history, they are able to grapple with the influence of the social structures that sometimes limit the possibilities in their lives. Taking this approach opens the door for young people to be managers of their own learning and development as they understand why they find themselves where they are.Many people I have been talking to about this issue agree that not only schools but also public bodies and families have failed to educate young people about their own history. And I know from my own experience how difficult it was for my father to talk about his familys experience in 1944. This may be a reflection of the sadness that people feel about that history and not wanting to make it a burden on their young people. But in todays situation, those I spoke with now clearly see that as a mistake.If our society is ever going to find a way to properly deal with the influence of our own history, including what has happened to our Native American, African-American and Latino friends, our neighbors schools must step up to help young people understand their own stories. Families and related social bodies must do the same.8. According to Paragraph 1, a good knowledge of our own history can help us_A. become good at writing storiesB. make our influence on the society strongerC. gain a good understanding of our present situationD. understand the importance of learning and development9. What does the underlined phrase “grapple with” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. determineB. recoverC. exerciseD. manage 10.It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that the authors familys experience in 1944 was_A. harmfulB. painfulC. interestingD. surprising11.The passage mainly encourages us to _.A. write our own storiesB. understand the importance of history C. learn our own history D. have a proper attitude towards historyDScientists have never known for sure whether dinosaurs were warm-blooded animals, like mammals and birds, or cold-blooded, like reptiles and fish. A recent study shows that in fact many dinosaurs might not have belonged to either category but instead have fallen somewhere in the middle.Warm-blooded animals have bodies that are able to make their own heat. Their body temperatures stay about the same whether it is hot or cold outside. Cold-blooded animals can not make their own heat, so their body temperatures depend on how warm the outside temperature is. Warm-blooded animals have much more active lifestyles than cold-blooded ones.When scientists first discovered the bones of ancient dinosaurs in the 1800s, they were sure the huge creatures must have been slow. But as scientists found more bones of smaller, quicker dinosaurs, like Velociraptor, they realized that the creatures may have been much more active than they had thought.A team of biologists began to examine. They knew that warm-blooded animals grow faster than cold-blooded ones. The researcher realized that they could determine whether a dinosaur had been warm-or cold-blooded by finding its growth rate.The scientists examine the growth rings in bones from 21 different dinosaur species. The width of the growth rings showed how much the dinosaurs grew each year, much like the rings in the tree trunk do.“Our results showed that dinosaurs had growth rates that were actually not characteristic of warm-blooded or cold-blooded animals,” said Brian Enquist, a scientist on the research team. “They didnt act like mammals or birds, nor did they act like reptiles or fish.” Instead, dinosaurs fell somewhere in between. Scientists called the middle-of-the-road creatures “mesotherms”.Being mesotherms gave dinosaurs many advantages. They were faster and stronger than reptiles that had to rely on the sun for warmth. Being somewhat cold-blooded had its benefits too. Cold-blooded animals burn energy more slowly. So they need much less food to live than warm-blooded animals. “It is doubtful that a lion the size of T-rex could eat enough to survive,” explains John Grady, another biologist on the research team. By being mesothermic, the dinosaurs could be both fast and big.12. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The advantage of cold-blooded animals. B. The disadvantages of warm-blooded animals. C. The differences between warm-and cold-blooded animals. D. The advantages of both warm-and cold-blooded animals.13. It can be inferred that mesotherms grow _. A. as slowly as cold-blooded animalsB. as fast as warm-blooded animals C. slower than cold-blooded animalsD. slower than warm-blooded animals14. A lion is mentioned in the last paragraph to stress that _. A. dinosaurs moved very fastB. dinosaurs had to rely on the sun for warmth C. dinosaurs are large animalsD. dinosaurs needed less food to survive 15. The text is mainly about _. A. how dinosaurs disappeared B. the growth areas of dinosaurs C. whether dinosaurs were warm or cold-blooded animals D. the appearance and behavior of dinosaurs第二节（共5小题；毎小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Many parents sometimes feel they resemble an ATM machine to their children. They want to ask for advice about giving pocket money to their children. So how much is appropriate? _16_ You can start by listing items they want to spend their pocket money on. This exercise will vary depending on the childs age but it is a good guide to help you to decide what amount is appropriate. It is important that you dont hand out extra money throughout the week. This will help the child to budge and manage their spending. _17_ However, leaving them to do without anything will encourage them to manage their pocket money more carefully the next time. As part of the pocket money agreement, you might list the items that the child must complete in order to “earn” the pocket money. _18_ At least one task should be for the general household. The same is true for teenagers. They are older and can take on more responsibilities so this should be reflected in the tasks they are assigned. _19_ No matter how difficult it is for you to not give the pocket money if the agreed tasks are not completed, you must stick to the agreement. Remember, you are teaching your child basic skills in managing money and earning rewards. These skills will be of great benefit to your child throughout their life!Finally, when it comes to teenagers, keep a close watch on how they are managing their money. If your teenager is using too much of their pocket money too quickly, talk to them about it. _20_ This way, you can be conscious that the money is not being used for drink or worse, drugs.AThey want to have what their peers have.BIt may be hard to refuse to give them more money.CIt is best to get the child involved in agreeing the amount with you.DYou need to keep a close check on what the money is being spent on.EThe task should be appropriate to their age in terms of safety and their ability.FAs with all parenting situations, the golden rule is that you must follow through.GThe amount saved can be used to purchase treats such as sweets or a magazine.第二部分：英语知识运用 （共两节,满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从第2140 各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。I wouldnt have picked up that dusty card without seeing those big words: DONT FORGET.I was _21_.Dont forget what?
