Taos is a small town in New Mexico, USA. Many people come here for a visit
every year. They do not come to see the beautiful scenes (景色) 36 eat delicious
food. They come to listen to a kind of 37 sound: the Taos Hum.
The word “hum” means a low sound that never stops. 38 is the sound strange?
Firstly, the Taos Hum that people hear is quite 39 . Someone says it sounds like a
little bee flying around you. Others think it sounds like a car moving in a faraway (遥
远 的 ) place. Secondly, 40 knows where the sound comes from. Joe Mullins, a
scientist from the University of New Mexico, is one of the first persons to do 41 on
the hum. He put some instruments in places where people could hear the hum, but
those instruments couldn't “hear” any hum! Others who wanted to find the hum failed,
too.
Many people try to 42 that strange sound. Someone says it is a noise made by
insects. Someone believes it must come from some secret projects. Someone says
there 43 be an underground UFO base! But no one is sure which is right.
It might be interesting for 44 to listen to the hum, but it is not for people who
live in the town. They have to hear the sound 45 . That is really a hard life.

On Saturday morning, John got up early to go to a sports club. On his way, he
saw three of his schoolmates at the mall, Rie, Asuka and Yuki. They were always
together because they were very good friends.
“I'm shopping for new shoes,” Rie told John. “But I have big feet so nothing fits!
We have been shopping everywhere but I can't find any big shoes!”
“And we walk very slowly,” Yuki said, “because of Asuka ...”
“I know,” John said, looking at Asuka. “I heard you hurt your knee in P.E. class
yesterday. Does it hurt?”
“It's OK if I move very slowly,” Asuka told him. “We are going to eat ice-cream
at Dairy Queen. Do you want to come?”
“Sorry, I can't. I am going to meet Edward at the sports club. See you later!” said
John.
John was walking past a coffee shop when he saw Ms. Kanda. She was looking at
a new sidewalk ( 人 行 道 ). As John came closer he could see that Ms. Kanda was
angry. “Somebody jumped in the middle of the sidewalk when the cement (水泥) was
still wet!” she said, pointing to two small footprints (脚印) in the new cement. “Now I
can't go home because I have to fix the sidewalk!”
“Who did it?” asked John.

Max reads more than anyone he knows. He loves to read during all of his free
time. His friends always tease him because he likes to read more than to play video
games, but his parents and his teachers are proud of him. They say reading is
important and it will help him learn about the world around him. They also tell him
reading is a good habit.
One day Max read a magazine article about volcanoes (火山). He told his friends
all about volcanoes and what causes them to erupt (爆发). The very next week, his
class were asked to do a science project about volcanoes. Guess who everyone wanted
in their project group? Max's friends weren't teasing him anymore. Max ended up
being in a group with Liz, Anna and Josh.
Max brought that magazine he read before to school, so his project partners could
read about volcanoes too. They also went to the library to look for more information
about volcanoes. The group met at Anna's house that night to organize the
information and decide what they wanted to put in the project. They all asked Max
what he thought was most important. The next night they met at Josh's house to build
their model volcano.
The model volcano looked great. Max, Liz, Anna and Josh were very proud of
their hard work. When they gave their project to their teacher, their teacher was proud
too. Thanks to Max's reading habit, they got an A+ for their project.

Australia, also known as “the Land Down Under”, is a country, an island and a
continent (大陆). It's the world's smallest continent and the sixth largest country. But
only about 24 million people live there. The first people there were the Aborigines (澳
大 利 亚 土 著 居 民 ). In the late 18th century the British arrived. Today the British
influence on Australia is still very strong. For example, the national language is
English and drivers drive on the left side of the road.
Australia was cut off from the other continents a long time ago, so a lot
of Australia's animals, like the koala and the kangaroo aren't found anywhere else in
the world. Australia also has some of the most dangerous animals in the world. There
are poisonous ( 有 毒 的 ) snakes and spiders. In the north there are huge saltwater
crocodiles, and in the sea, around the coast, there are sharks and poisonous jellyfish.
The largest city in Australia is Sydney with its famous Opera House
and Harbour Bridge. The 2000 Summer Olympics were held in Sydney. But Sydney
isn't the capital (首都) of Australia. The capital is Canberra.
Australia is a huge country, but most Australians live in the south-east corner
between Sydney and Melbourne. This is because most of the land is very dry.
Australians call this dry area the outback. There are some huge farms there with
millions of sheep. The children who live on these farms can't go to school, because
the nearest town is too far away. They study at home with the School of the Air. They
used to talk to their teachers by the radio and, nowadays, on the Internet. There is also
a “flying doctor” service. The doctor comes to the outback by plane.
根据材料内容简要回答下列问题。
61. What's the population of Australia?
__________________________________________
62. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?
__________________________________________63. Is Harbour Bridge in Sydney or Canberra?
__________________________________________

I had a frightening and exciting experience last Thursday night. After finishing
my homework, I was going to bed. Just then, I heard the sound of footsteps outside my door. I wondered who it could be. It couldn't be my father or my mother, because they
had gone to their friend's party. They said they would come back home late. It
couldn't be a thief, either. A thief would feel afraid and be very quiet. Perhaps it could
be my neighbor. He may have come back home from work. He always works late in
the office. I said to myself, “Be brave! There's nothing to be worried about.” Then I
opened the door and all my friends were there saying “Happy birthday”. I thought
they'd forgotten! How excited I was!
部分解析
单项选择:
21. A。本小题考查冠词的用法。picnic 为可数名词,在此泛指“一次野餐”,因此
用不定冠词;它以辅音音素开头,因此用 a,故选 A。
22. C。本小题考查名词词义辨析。trouble 意为“问题;苦恼”;stress 意为“精神压
力;心里负担”;energy 意为“力量”;support 意为“支持”。题意:骑自行车是一
项消耗体力的运动,但是它能让人健康。故选 C。
23. B。本小题考查代词辨析。somebody 意为“有人”,一般用于肯定句中;anybody
意为“有人”时,一般用于否定句或一般疑问句中;意为“任何人”时,一般用于肯
定句中;everybody 意为“人人;大家”;nobody 意为“没有人”。根据泰勒夫人需
要一些帮助可知,前一句问“有人”有空吗,且该句为一般疑问句,故选 B。
24. C。本小题考查形容词词义辨析。serious 意为“严肃的”;crazy 意为“疯狂的”;
sleepy 意为“瞌睡的”;creative 意为“有创造力的”。根据“霍莉睁不开眼睛”可知,
她是“瞌睡的”,故选 C。
25. A。本小题考查疑问词词义辨析。whose 意为“谁的”;what 意为“什么”;which
意为“哪个”;how many 意为“多少”。根据答语“可能是萨姆的”可知,题干上句是
询问这是“谁的”手套,故选 A。
26. B。本小题考查动词词义辨析。translate 意为“翻译”;express 意为“表达”;repeat
意为“重复”;spread 意为“传播”。母亲节就要到了,发话者想询问向妈妈“表达”
感谢的一些方式,故选 B。
27. D。本小题考查从属连词辨析。unless 意为“除非”,引导条件状语从句;when
意为“当……的时候”,引导时间状语从句;though 意为“虽然”,引导让步状语从
句;as 意为“当……的时候”时,引导时间状语从句,意为“因为”时,引导原因状
语从句。主句(马库斯直到 9 点才起床)与从句(马库斯不需要去上学)之间为因果
关系,因此要用能引导原因状语从句的从属连词,故选 D。
28. B。本小题考查情态动词表示推测的用法。would 意为“将会”,表示有可能的
推测;must 意为“一定;准是”,表示很有把握的推测;may 意为“也许;可能”,
表示不确定的推测;could 意为“可能”,表示不确定的推测。根据“在字典的首页
我看到了休的名字”可以有把握地推测出,这本字典“一定”是休的,故选 B。
29. C。本小题考查情态动词表示推测的用法。may not 意为“不大可能;可能不”,
表示否定的、不确定的推测;shouldn't 意为“按理不应该”,表示按常规、常理的
推测;can't 意为“不可能”,表示否定的、有把握的推测;mustn't 意为“禁止”,不
表示推测。根据“琼斯小姐刚开着她的车去开会了”可以有把握地推测出,这辆车
“不可能”是她的,故选 C。
30. D。本小题考查形容词的最高级。“one of the+形容词的最高级+名词复数”是
固定结构,表示“最……之一”,故选 D。31. A。本小题考查非谓语动词。hear 用作感官动词时常用于两种结构中:hear sb.
do sth.表示“听见某人做某事(全过程)”和 hear sb. doing sth.表示“听见某人正在做
某事”。根据 Listen!可知,call 这一动作正在进行,故选 A。
32. C。本小题考查非谓语动词。have fun doing sth.是固定结构,意为“做某事很
高兴”,故选 C。
33. B。本小题考查短语辨析。at that time 意为“在那时”;at the same time 意为“同
时”;for the first time 意为“第一次”;from time to time 意为“时常;有时”。题意:
那个国家人们用勺子或筷子吃饭。同时使用它们是不礼貌的。
34. A。本小题考查 belong to 的用法。belong to 意为“属于;是……的成员”,无
进行时态,无被动语态,故选 A。

去式形式。
78. excited。由下一句中的 happier, less tired 和 more active 可知她们对新课桌感
到“兴奋不已”。
79. easily。(课桌上配置的)轮子能使课桌“轻易地”移动。要用副词来修饰 be
moved。
80. sitting。孩子们可以“坐在”地板上或者凳子上休息。介词后面要跟动词-ing 形
式。
81. safe。Mark Benden 是一位专家,他研究如何“安全”、便捷地使用物品。
82. better。由下一句可知不是所有人都认为站着比坐着“更好”。由 than 可知要用
比较级。83. problems。一些家长和教师担心孩子们会疲倦、长时间站立会产生“问题”。
84. if。后半句(课桌的高度不合适)是前半句(坐着听和站着听都会产生问题)的假
设条件,所以用 if 连接。
85. message。“我们”传递的“信息” 不应是“少坐、多站”。

There's no question that Americans love both dogs and cats. About 48 percent of
families in the U.S. own dogs and 38 percent own cats. But one thing many people
can't agree on is which animal makes a better pet.
Cat lovers say their pets are easier to care for than dogs. They point out that cats
don't jump on visitors. Also, it's ▲ to own a cat. Cat owners spend $300 to $800
less a year than dog owners do. Besides, dogs mess up the house by chewing (咬)
things like shoes.
Still, dog owners say the money they spend is worth it. They argue that dogs are
more social than cats. Also, scientists say that dogs are smarter than cats. Dog lovers
point out that dogs help people, too. For example, dogs can be trained as service pets
for people who are disabled.
Here's what two kids think.
I have both cats and dogs, but I'd rather own a cat at any time. Dogs are noisy and
make a mess. Cats are much quieter, and they're better companions (伴侣). Cats are
the perfect size for sitting on my knees. Also, it's easier to take care of cats.
Michelle, 12, New YorkThere are many reasons why dogs are called “man's best friend”. They are playful
and love their owners, and you can teach them cool tricks. Cats mostly just care about
eating and sleeping. Also, dogs can be service pets and even lifesavers. A cat isn't
going to protect your home from burglars (窃贼).
Logan, 14, Washington D.C.

It was a warm summer day and Alice was getting bored sitting beside her sister.
Suddenly a little white rabbit with pink eyes ran in front of her shouting, “Oh dear,
I'm late!” and then disappeared down a rabbit's hole. “I must find out why he's in such
a hurry!” cried Alice. She ran to the rabbit's hole and looked into it. The hole dropped
suddenly and Alice fell in. Finally she landed in a hallway with doors of many sizes.
On a table, Alice found a tiny gold key and a green bottle (瓶子) that said “DRINK
ME”. She drank it. Alice began to become smaller and smaller until she was no bigger
than a doll (玩偶). She opened a door and quickly ran through it. In front of her was a
beautiful garden. “What an amazing garden!” she shouted. But the excitement soon
disappeared. “I want to be big again,” she shouted. Alice went looking for help. Soon,
she saw a green caterpillar (毛虫). He was sitting on the top of a large mushroom (蘑
菇). “One side of the mushroom makes you big; the other side makes you small,” he
said to Alice. Alice ate a piece of the mushroom. “I'm growing!” She continued her walk. In the middle of a field, the Queen of Hearts was playing croquet (槌球). “Have
you ever played croquet?” the Queen asked Alice. “Yes,” Alice answered. “Play with
me!” ordered the Queen. “And let me win or I'll have your head!” ... “Off with her
head!” cried the Queen. Alice felt someone touch her head ...
“Wake up. You've been sleeping for too long,” said her sister softly.
“I had a strange dream,” said Alice.
