期 末 考 试
All I’ve ever wanted is for Julie Baker to leave me alone. For her to back off — you know, just give me some space.
It all started the summer before second grade when our moving van(家具搬运车) pulled into her neighborhood. Did we invite her to get into our moving van and start climbing all over boxes? No! But that’s exactly what she did, taking over and showing off like only Julie Baker can.

My dad tried to stop her. “Hey!” he said as she was jumping on board. “What are you doing? You’re getting dirt everywhere!”

She didn’t leave, though. Instead, she planted herself on the floor and started pushing a big box with her feet. “Don’t you want some help?” She looked my way. “It sure looks like you need it.”
“Hey! Don’t do that,” my dad warned her. “There are some really valuable things in that box.”
“Oh. Well, how about this one?” She moved swiftly over to another box and looked my way again. “We should push it together!”
“No, no, no!” my dad said, then pulled her up by the arm. “Why don’t you run along home? Your mother’s probably wondering where you are.”
“Oh, my mom knows where I am. She said it was fine.” Then she pointed across the street and said, “We just live right over there.”
My father looked to where she was pointing and sighed(叹息), “Oh, boy.” Then he looked at me and winked(眨眼) as he said, “Bryce, isn’t it time for you to go inside and help your mother?”
I knew right off what that meant, and man, he didn’t have to wink twice. I smiled and said, “Sure thing!” then jumped off the liftgate and headed for my new front door.
I heard her coming after me but I couldn’t believe it. Maybe it just sounded like she was running after me; maybe she was really going other way. But before I took up the courage to look, she ran right past me, grabbed my arm and fiercely pulled me along.
This was too much. I stopped running and was about to tell her to get lost when the weirdest(诡异的) thing happened. I was making this big circle move to break away from her, but somehow my hand ended up tangling(缠结) into hers. I couldn’t believe it. There I was, holding the dirty monkey’s hand!
I tried to shake her off, but she just held on tight and pulled me along, saying, “Come on!”
21. When did Bryce and Julie Baker first meet?
A. In the summer vacation after second grade.
B. In the summer before the moving van came.
C. When Bryce’s family moved to Julie’s neighborhood.
D. When Julie’s family was ready to move out of the neighborhood.
22. What did Bryce and his dad think of Julie Baker?

I have received many Christmas gifts over the years. The best gift I ever received was presented to me by a stranger. I never even knew his name and I only had contact with him for less than 60 seconds. His Christmas present to me changed the way I think about people and about Christmas.
I hate Black Friday sales. It’s often a gathering of people who are there for many different reasons. Some are looking for a deal on that one item for their loved one, or perhaps themselves. Their purposes completely have nothing to do with the festive time of year, and can just be summed up with one word, “Cheap!”
It was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning. They had advertised a child’s bike that she wanted to purchase for our son. We stood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle(口哨). I told my wife that if we got a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too.
As the number of bikes began to gradually decrease, I saw my “polite” opportunity to reach my hands around the corner of one of the boxes. I lifted it and suddenly felt some mild resistance(阻力). I looked up to see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was not the word to describe his appearance. He was wearing lots of straps of metal spiked leather(带有柳钉的皮带) around both arms and even his neck. Still, tattoos(纹身) were an obvious love of his.
I started to return the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands.

He then directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at me, smiled, and said, “Merry Christmas.” All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best Christmas gift I had ever received. The kindness of a stranger that broke all prejudice(偏见) I may have had of certain types of people. The softness of a human heart can be seen in a simple act. I will never forget it.
25. What may be the best title of the passage?
A. The Best Christmas Gift. B. A Child’s Bike.
C. Black Friday Sales. D. A Handsome Stranger.
26. Why do many people go to Black Friday sales?
A. Because they can make money.
B. Because they hope to find a bargain.
C. Because it’s a way to celebrate Christmas.
D. Because it’s a place to get things free of charge.
27. What does the underlined word “purchase” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. devote B. solve C. buy D. save
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. All roads lead to Rome.
B. It’s never too old to study.
C. You cannot clap with one hand.
D. Men cannot be judged by their appearances.

If you are hungry, what do you do? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? Just like your stomach, your mind is also hungry. But it never lets you know, because, you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars. So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow. When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity(创造性) sets a full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?”, “Why can’t I think?”
Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading. Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood. Since it develops other ways of our life, we have to take help from reading.
Once you read a book, you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain

something to you. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed(种子). Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas.

This is nothing but creativity. Also this makes a huge contribution to your vocabulary. Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words.
So guys, do give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. Now what are you waiting for? Go and get a book!

From “skinny blue mushrooms” to “melon-eating masses”, the BBC takes a look at what has caught their imaginations this year.
Sichuan Trump
US President-elect Donald Trump is known as “chuanpu” by mainstream media outlets.
But the conspiracy theory(阴谋论), spread on social networks Weibo and WeChat, is that Trump was born in 1946 in Sichuan when his father set up a business in China.
It’s nonsense of course, but that hasn’t stopped some locals from viewing him as “the pride of Sichuan” — though his recent speech attacks against China.
Prehistoric powers
National swimmer Fu Yuanhui not only won a bronze medal at the Rio Olympic Games, but also scored a win with viewers in China in a TV interview.
When told she could fight for the final, Fu pulled a funny face and said, “I have used all my prehistoric powers to swim!”
‘Prehistoric powers’, or “honghuangzhili”, was soon used as a term for an unstoppable force, while Fu became an internet darling.
Skinny blue mushroom
One man’s misfortune in love turned out to be a goldmine for netizens, when a man from Guangxi province uploaded a video of himself talking about his loneliness while his girlfriend was away.
“Unbearable, I want to cry,” he moaned – but thanks to his heavy accent, it ended up sounding more like “skinny blue mushroom”.
“Lanshouxianggu” was then shared more widely and took off as a meme, mostly as a way to make fun of the southern Guangxi accent.
Melon-eating masses
The fullest expression of this term is “the melon-eating masses who don’t know what’s really going on”.
Its origin is unclear, but netizens often use this — sometimes derogatorily(带贬义地) — to describe a passive group of bystanders at a major incident or event.
33. The passage is mainly talking about .

35. can be used to describe someone who has no idea what’s going on.
A. Sichuan Trump B. Prehistoric powers
C. Skinny blue mushroom D. Melon-eating masses

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A student does not know any of the answers on a test. All the questions on the answer page are unfamiliar to him, and when the results come back, the student realizes that he has failed. 36 . By copying the work of others, he can ruin his grade as well as his future.
Most people have cheated at least once in their lives, whether it was for missed or incomplete work, or even just for credit (分数) that they didn’t deserve. 37 . It shows less responsibility as well as less knowledge. For example, if a student cheats using a classmate’s exam paper, he is taking credit for another’s work. If the teacher catches him, the consequence (后果) is usually failure.
Cheating by using the work of others is the same as ruining your life with drugs. If a student continues cheating, then it may become a habit in the future. 38 . We all have brains that we can use, and also, our teachers and parents can help us.
39 . In the beginning when the student is in primary school, cheating may only lead to losing credit. In middle school, there will be parent-teacher conferences. But in high school, college, and the rest of a person’s life, cheating will not be ignored.
Of all things, taking credit for other people’s work is not only unnecessary, but quite unreasonable as well. If we all just do our work, then there is no need to cheat. 40 .
A. But taking the work of others and using it as your own is not the right thing to do.

B. They can just tell their parents the truth.

I am very glad to hear that you are interested in “English-themed Month” held in our school. This is the first time that all the students have enjoyed so many amazing activities concerning English subject in one month. I would feel so proud to introduce all of them to you.
For one thing, we had some activities aimed at improving our basic skills in learning English, such as English Handwriting Training, English Vocabulary Competition and English Corner. For another, we also had a competition on designing an English-themed blackboard newspaper in our classrooms, which encouraged students’ teamwork and creativity as well as more exposure to English culture. As for the English Learning Strategies Lecture, our lovely English teacher Bro. Biao gave us an interesting lecture on

how to learn English itself as a foreign language rather than just a subject, after which I felt more confident in learning English well. For me, my favorite part was of course the English Talent Show, where many students showed themselves and enjoyed the performances with each other, some singing English songs, some acting out English plays and so on.
I’m so sure you would have felt very excited if you had come for this party. So, I’m really looking forward to your coming and joining us next time!
Yours sincerely
