第I卷(选择题)
第一部分 阅读理解(每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑.
A
Many people are quick to say that television has little, or no, educational value. It is true there are lots of programs that are completely worthless — take Big Brother for example. However, some television programs can improve our knowledge of certain things. Here are some of my favorite shows:
Blue Peter: It is the longest-running children's TV show in the world, although it has fallen out of date recently. Children would often learn about different countries around the world. For example, one presenter (主持人) went to the Amazon rainforest in South America!
The Great British Bake Off: This show is all about making cakes, biscuits and pies. The purpose is to find Britain' s best amateur (业余的) baker. You can watch the show to get some new baking ideas.
Frozen Planet: David Attenborough has produced many films about wildlife. This one is about life in the most northern and southern parts of the world: polar bears, seals, penguins, moose and many more animals. I love this show mainly because it teaches us about the influence we have on the planet and what we need to do to save these places.
Pointless: This is a general knowledge quiz (问答比赛) show. Each round will provide a different category (e.g. sport, music, films) and a question will be given, for example "Which teams have won the World Cup?" Before the show, 100 people will have been asked the Same question. Contestants (竞赛者) then have to think of an answer which none of the 100people thought of.
1. According to the text, Blue Peter .
9
A. is not so popular as it used to be
B. is mainly about the Amazon rainforest
C. was produced by David Attenborough
D. is very hard for children to understand
2. Frozen Planet may interest those who like .
A. South America B. sport and films C. foreign food D. wild animals
3. To win in Pointless, you have to .
A. answer 100 questions B. watch TV every day
C. find a new answer D. be a music lover
4. The author wrote the text mainly to .
A. encourage Children to join a quiz show B. introduce four educational TV programs
C. show that TV has little educational value D. discuss whether children should watch TV
B

We have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand(泰国). All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.

Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.
Friday, March 30th
Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life--no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.

D
Homesick is a compound word made up of HOME and SICK. You know what each word means on its own, of course. But think about what the words mean when they are used together. Homesick means SICK FOR HOME.
Now think for a minute about SEASICK. If you change the word home in the definition(释义)to the word sea, would the definition fit SEASICK? Seasick means SICK BY THE MOVEMENT ON THE SEA. When you are homesick ,the only place you want to be is at home. When you are seasick, the last place you want to be is at sea.
Have you ever heard of a person being heartsick? Heartsick doesn’t mean that
9
something is wrong with a person’s heart. people are heartsick when they are hurt deep inside and when they feel as if their hearts are broken.
But, on the other hand, we have such compound words as handshake, handstand, and handbag. Perhaps you may write definitions for them.
12.The word SEASICK means“______”.
A. to be eager to go to the sea B. what has nothing to do with the sea

【范文赏读】
If you want to be strong and healthy, you should go to bed and get up early, which can ensure you enough sleep and good energy. If time permits, doing morning exercises every day is a good habit.
If you want to be strong and healthy, you'd better have meals at regular tame and keep away from junk food so that you won't easily put on weight.
If you want to be strong and healthy, it is advisable that you should learn how to balance study and play. Just as that old saying goes," All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Studying all day long makes us dull while playing without studying makes us empty. Studying effectively and playing happily make our life colourful and successful.
