根据短文内容,回答下列问题。
Have you ever seen a greenhouse? Most greenhouses look like a small
glass house.
Greenhouses are used to grow plants,especially in winter.
Greenhouses work by
trapping heat from the sun,the glass panels(板)of the greenhouse let
light in,but keep heat
from escaping. This causes the greenhouse to heat up,
much like the inside of the parked in
sunlight,
and keeps the plants warm enough to live in winter.The earth's atmos
phere(大
气) is all around us.
It is the air that we breathe.Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
behave much like the glass panels in a green house.
Sunlight enters the Earth's atmosphere,
passing through the blanket of greenhouse gases.
As it reaches the Earth's surface, land,
water, and biosphere(生物圈),they take up the sunlight's energy.
Once the heat is taken up,this energy is sent back into the atmosph
ere.Some of the energy passes
back into space,but much of it remains trapped in the atmosphere by
the greenhouse gases,causing
our world to heat up The greenhouse effect is important.
Without the greenhouse effect, the Earth
would not be warm enough for humans to live.
But if the greenhouse effect becomes stronger,
it could make the earth warmer than usual.
Even a little extra warming may bring problems to humans, plants, and animals.
1. What are greenhouses used for?

2. Why is the temperature in the greenhouse higher than that outside?

3. What behaves much like the glass panels in a greenhouse?

Reading for pleasure is the easiest way to become a better reader
in English. It is also the most important way.
Some students say they don’t want to read for pleasure. They say
they want to use their time to learn the rules of the language a
nd new words. They say that pleasure reading is too easy.
Many experts ( 专
家 ) say pleasure reading is very important for learning English. Dr.
Stephen
Krashen, a famous expert on learning languages, says that pleasure re
ading helps you learn many important things about English. Students l
earn more grammar and more words when they read for pleasure. They
also learn more about good writing.
Dr. Krashen tells us that pleasure reading helps each student in a
different way. Each student needs to learn something different. Plea
sure reading makes it possible for each student to learn what he or
she needs. Reading for pleasure is not the same as studying. When
you read for pleasure, you choose your own books, and you don‟t h
ave to remember everything. There are no tests on your pleasure read
ing books. Pleasure reading will help you:
●learn how English speakers use English
●read faster in English
●find examples of good writing in English
●learn new words
●learn about the cultures (文化) of English speakers

参考答案
I. 1. D【解析】考查点:冠词的用法。解题思路:by+交通工具,中间没有任何冠词,定冠
词 the 用在名词前表特指,不定冠词用在名词前表一类,a 用于辅音音素开头的词前。根据
句意:“丽丽明天乘飞机来。 让我们去机场见她吧。”此处表示特指。 故选 D。
2. B【解析】本题考查词组辨析。set up 意为“建立”;give up 意为“放弃,交出”;pick
up 意为“捡起,拾起”;look up 意为“查询”。句意为“吸烟不益于健康,你最好戒掉”。
四个选项中只有 give up 具有 “戒掉;放弃”之意,故选 B。
3. D【解析】本题考查 not…until…的用法。believe 加 that 从句,与情态动词相连时,
后面是否定时,应用否定前移。句意“我才会相信五岁的男孩会看杂志,直到我亲自测试
他。”在四个选项中只有 not…until…具有“直到……才……”的意思,故选 D。
4. B 【解析】本题考查数词 thousand 的用法。当 thousand 与具体的数字连用时,习惯上用
单数,而且其后也不接 of; 当 thousand 不与具体数字连用,而是表示不确定的泛指数时,
则不仅要用复数,而且要后接 of,然后才能接名词。故选 B。
5. D【解析】代词的考察 句意为“尽管他们有三个儿子,但是没有一个和他们的父母住在一块儿。” Neither 两者之间任何一个都不,both 两者都;all 三者或三者以上都,none 三
者或三者以上以上任何一个都不。6. A【解析】动词辨析 spend 人做主语,spend+钱或时间
+on something/in doing sth; cost 物作主语,花钱; take 一般用 it takes sb. 一段时
间 for sb. to do sth; pay 人做主语,一般用 pay for 表示付钱。
7. A 【解析】形容词比较级。“比较级+and+比较级”结构,意为“越来越…”;可排除 D;
tourists 是可数名词,可排除 C;根据句中的 Funtawild Adventure is very popular 可判
断出 A 为正确答案。8. D 【解析】副词的用法。quietly“安静地”;carefully“仔细地”;
slowly“缓慢地”,clearly“清楚地”,句意:爱丽丝把事情解释的很好,她所说的都能被
很清楚地理解。故答案为 D .
9. C【解析】考查情态动词的用法。根据句意:作为学生,我们必须遵守校规。
10. D 【解析】定语从句。定语从句修饰 kid,kid 是人且其关系代词在定语从句中作宾语,
所以应用“whom”。
11. C 【解析】人称代词的用法。根据题意:谁教你画画?没有人,我教我自己。根据题意
可知第一个空用人称代词,第二个空用反身代词。
12. A【解析】主谓一致和状语从句。The head teacher 为主语,with 后面的不是主语,
所以应为第三人称单数;if 后用一般现在时表将来的意思。
13.D【解析】被动语态。根据题意可知应用过去时态,而一般过去时态的被动语态结构为
was\were + 动词的过去分词。主语 this photo 是单数,故用 was+ 过去分词。
14. B 【解析】情态动词辨析。must “必须”, may “可以”,语气委婉,表示请求建议,
need “有必要”, will “要,想要”,常用于第二人称的请求建议。语境“--我可以借你的
历史书吗?-- 当然,给你。” 故选 B.
15. B【解析】选 B。考查宾语从句的用法。此处 wonder 引导宾语从句,由答语中描述钓鱼
岛的位置可知引导词应该用 where,而宾语从句中要用陈述语序。故选 B。

Health is very important to us teenagers. Either study or work is based on strong
body. Doing sports every day helps us keep healthy and energetic. If we don’t take
any exercise, we may feel tired and get sick easily. Just as the slogan says,
"Exercise one hour a day, keep illness away. "
There are many kinds of sports we can do, such as running, swimming and ball games.
Now we students have to do too much homework after school. I hope teachers will leave
us less homework so that we can have more time to take part in sports. I also hope
our school can organize more sports activities for us.
