第二节：阅读短文，根据其内容选择最佳选项。（每小题2分，满分10分）
Our school held many activities last week. We called it Road Safety Week. One of the educational activities was a speech given by a police officer. He shared something about the road safety. Here are some important points about his speech.
Most traffic accidents(事故)shouldn’t happen. They happen because people are careless. A frequent cause(原因)of traffic accidents is speed(速度). Some people drive too fast. This means that if they have to stop suddenly, they cannot stop quickly enough to avoid hitting(避免撞)others. You need to remember this when you are crossing the street or walking along the sidewalk(人行道).
It’s not only drivers who cause accidents, however. People on foot－pedestrians(行人), and bicycle riders often cause accidents, too. Pedestrians sometimes walk out into the street without looking. You should always look on both sides before stepping into the street.
Do any of you ride a bike? Bicycle riders can cause accidents by changing directions suddenly or without warning other road users. Before you turn left, for example, you should check behind you to make sure there aren’t any cars, trucks or buses coming. You should show with your left hand to tell that you want to turn left. You should not turn until the street is clear.
The rules of the road are very simple. If we learn them and obey(遵守)them, we should not have accidents any more. There were more other activities in Road Safety Week, hope every student could learn something.
61. Most traffic accidents shouldn’t happen if ________.
A. people are more careful B. people don’t know the rules
18
C. people cross the streets quickly D. people stop their cars suddenly
62. The underlined word “frequent” in the passage means ________ in Chinese.
A. 自由的 B. 罕见的 C. 频繁的 D. 所有的
63. What shouldn’t the riders do when riding bikes on the street?
A. Warning other road users before crossing the street.
B. Making sure there aren’t any cars coming.
C. Showing with your right hand to tell that you want to turn right.
D. Changing directions suddenly or without warning other road users.
64. From the police officer’s speech, we can learn the following except that(除了) ________.
A. riding bikes is the most dangerous
B. it’s not only drivers who cause traffic accidents
C. some people have accidents because they drive too quickly
D. obeying the rules of the road may stop you from having accidents
65. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A. Safety First B. Road Safety Week
C. How to Keep Safe D. A Discussion about Safety
第三节：阅读短文，根据其内容补全下面表格。(每空一词）（每小题1分，满分5分）
As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.
Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to realize(实现) your dream?
Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams come true is life’s biggest challenge(挑战). You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it’s impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream.
In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. You need to keep telling yourself
18
what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.
As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.
Many students have different dreams. They can be very big or 66. ____________.
What do you do with your dream?
Sometimes you may think it’s difficult for you to make your dream come true. These ideas can 67. ________ you from realizing your dream.
How to realize your dream?
△The first thing is that you should not 68. ____________ what your dream is. And 69. ___________ telling yourself every day helps make your dream come true faster.
△Never give up your dream. You need to decide what is the most 70. _______________ thing to do.

One of the most serious illnesses caused by smoking is lung cancer(肺癌). Many people died because of smoking. According to the newest study, there are other three things as deadly as smoking.
▲Loneliness(孤独). The growth of using Internet and less person to person communication make people feel lonely. Vivek Murthy, has made loneliness a worldwide epidemic(流行病)and it could be deadly.

Dear Jenny,
How is everything going? I faced a lot of things these days, I really want to share them with you.
Time goes quickly, I will soon finish the first term of Grade 8. One of the biggest differences in Grade 8 is about our study. We are much busier than in Grade 7. Especially we have a new lesson, physics, it’s difficult for me. Another one comes from my parents, they push me too hard. Even though life is full of difficulties, I’ll try my best to face them. Spending more time on physics and communicating more with my parents are good ways to solve my problems.
No matter how hard the life is, we should hold on to our dreams and never give up. What about you? I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Lin Mei

The square dance or sometimes we called Guang Chang Wu is quite popular among the old people in China. When the night falls, we can see them dancing in the open air. Do you like it or not? Different people have different ideas.
Lin Tao, a Chinese student says: “My mother enjoys square dancing very much. She is becoming more outgoing and healthier after dancing every evening. I really think it’s helpful and meaningful. But many people don’t like square dance because it makes too much noise and it’s not good for other people’s life.” Wang Bao, another student says “It’s a good way of doing exercise. And they are having a good time while they’re doing it. I hope they can go on with it. About the noise problem, we can solve it by dancing in right places at the right time.”
