The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere (大气), b ecause this is where the weather forms (形成). They send these pictures to the weather st ations. So meteorologists(气象学家) can see the weather of any part of the world. From t he pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change. Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perh aps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mea n that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, th e meteorologists can say this. So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24or 48 hours. Now they ca n make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead (提前). 1. Satellites travel __________. A. in space B. above space C. above the ground D. in the atmosphere 2. Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere？Because _______. A. clouds form there B. the weather forms there C. the weather satellites can do it easily D. the pictures can forecast the weather 3. Meteorologists forecast the weather _______. A. without studying satellite pictures B. before they receive satellite pictures C. when they have received satellite pictures D. after they have compared the new satellite pictures with the earlier ones 4. Maybe we’ll soon be able to forecast the weather for _________. A. one day B. two days C. five days D. seven days or even longer 5. The main idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in __________. A. taking pictures of the earth B. receiving pictures of the atmosphere C. weather forecasting D. doing other work in many ways (B) There was once a man called Mr. Flowers, and flowers were his only joy in life. He spent all his free time in one of his four glass-houses and grew flowers of every color, with long and difficult names, for competitions (比赛). He tried to grow a rose of a new color to win the silver cup (银杯) for the Rose of the Year. Mr. Flowers’ glass-houses were very near to a middle school. Boys of around thirtee n of age were often tempted (引诱) to throw a stone or two at one of Mr. Flowers’ glas s-houses. So Mr. Flowers did his best to be in or near his glass-houses at the beginning and end of the school day. But it was not always possible to be on watch at those times. Mr. Flowers had tried in many ways to protect his glass, but nothing that he had done had been useful. He ha d been to school to report to the headmaster; but this had not done any good. He had tri ed to drive away the boys that threw stones into his garden; but the boys could run faste r than he could, and they laughed at him from far away. He had even picked up all the stones that he could find around his garden, so that the boys would have nothing to thro w; but they soon found others. At last Mr. Flowers had a good idea. He put up a large notice (布告) made of good, strong wood, some meters away from the glass-houses. On it he had written the words: DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS NOTICE. After this, Mr. Flowers had no further t rouble; the boys were much more tempted to throw stones at the notice than at the glass- houses. 6. It was Mr. Flowers’ hope to ________. A. build glass-houses in his free time B. grow the Rose of the Year in a silver cup C. win a silver cup for growing a rose of a new color D. grow a rose with the longest name 7.

A。本题属表层理解题。短文首句即是答案之所在。 everything, what, you, danger, other, learn, another, how, pass, on, hour, give 2. D。From the pictures，the scientists can often say how the weather will change 是 该小题答案的出处。 3. D。答案就在 the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the wea ther on the ground may soon change, too 中。 4. D。文章结尾的 Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a wee k or more ahead 这句即是答案之所在。 5. C。短文首句即点明了主旨。 (B) Mr. Flowers 嗜花如命，他种花的暖房位于一所学校附近。一些男孩子经常朝他种 花的暖房上扔石块。尽管他绞尽脑汁，想尽了一切办法，都无济于事。最后 Mr. Flowers 想 出了一个高招。他挂起了一块结实的布告牌，上面写着“请不要朝布告牌扔石块”。孩子们的 兴趣于是转向了这块木牌，Mr. Flowers 自此高枕无忧了。 6.

C。由最后一段，特别是其中的关键词 large, good, strong 以及布告上的 DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS NOTICE, 可知他制作布告牌的真正目的不是要它对孩子们起 警示作用，而是利用孩子们的心理让其当作他们投掷的靶子。 (C) 这是三则介绍旅游风景区景点的广告。 11. the whole village, the forest and the mountains。 答案即在“From the hotel you c an see the whole village, the forest and the mountains.”这句话中。 12. in your boat。根据“There you can pay for them when you sit in your boat.”一句， 可知答案。 13. your hat。“Don’t forget your hat: the sun can be strong and it may be as hot as 40℃ about midday!”一句是答案的出处。 14. mountains, forests and many mosquitoes。本题属表层信息理解题。答案源自“…an d mountains and forests in the north, but be careful: there are many mosquitoes…”一句 中。 15. Bangkok in Thailand 。 这三则广告中所出现的气温方面的信息分别是：①Temper atures in summer are usually 20℃ to 25℃ in the daytime, but much cooler by evening. ② the sun can be strong and it may be as hot as 40℃ about midday! ③ Daytime tempe ratures there are usually around 24℃ to 26℃ by the sea, and only a little cooler by late evening. 不难看出正确答案。 (D)答题分析 第一步：快读全文，掌握大意。通读原文我们知道。文章讲叙了 Robert 和校长的一些 情况，Robert 是一个初中学生，他出生于贫困之家，但学习努力与同学相处融洽。校长出 生于富贵家庭对 Robert 很不友好，总是想尽办法惩罚他, Robert 时刻小心提防他。一天下午 校长又想趁机惩罚他，但未能得逞。 第二步：细读改写，寻找异同。如原文中说 Two and half years ago he came to the c ity and began to study in a middle school. 而改写中却是 He is in Grade_______(1) now. 由原文中的 Two and half years ago 可知第(1)空要填 Three. 原文中说 He studies hard and gets on well with his classmates, 而改写中却是 He studies hard and his classmates are _ ______(2) to him. 由于“他与同学相处融洽”那么“他的同学一定是对他很友好了”。因此第二 空填 kind 或 friendly。第 3 空是一个典型的同义句改写，即 help sb. with sth. 与 help sb. t o do sth. 的转换。 第三步：字斟句酌，各个击破。比如第 4, 5, 7 空与原文几乎没多大差别可先填好(4) b orn, (5) rich, (7) afternoon。对于与原文有较大差异的空，则需要字斟句酌，细仔推敲了。 我们要在对比改写文中的句子与原文句子差别的前提下，推测改写文中的句子所要表达的意 思，然后根据我们所学的知识推出所要填写的单词。如： 原文中的 and does his best to make excuses to punish him 正是改写文中 and does _ ______(6) he can to punish him 要表达的意思。这里 does 后面是一个宾语从句，而从句缺 少引导词，因此填入 what 正合适。这一空较难因为 can 后面省去了动词原形 do。这句话意 为“并且做他所能做的事情来惩罚他”。 而原文中的…all the students went to have lunch 与改写文中的 all the students went _______(8) lunch. went to have lunch 与 went for lunch 同义。故第 8 空填 for。 改写中的_______(9) the headmaster saw this, he wanted to _______(10) him. But he failed that day again. 是对原文第二段后面部分的概括，通过比较我们知道改写中要表达 的意思是“当校长看见那种情况时，他想惩罚他，但那一天他又失败了”。因此第 9 空填，w hen 第 10 空填 punish。 第四步：复读改写，纠正失误。如：第 1 空应大写首字母，很多考生可能会忽略这一点。 四、单词拼写（每小题 1 分 共 10 分） 1. worse 2. hardly 3. behind 4. costs 5. living 6. pleasant 7. artist 8. twelfth 9. years’ 10. taken 五、词语填空（每小题 1 分 共 10 分） 1. yourself/yourselves 2. dangerous 3. everything 4. other 5. on 6. what 7. passed 8. to give 9. have learned/learnt 10. hours 六、书面表达 One possible version Xiao Ming’s Busy Day Last Sunday/Saturday, Xiao Ming had a very busy day. Early in the morning, his father told him to get up to read English. After that, he had to practise playing the piano. His mother stood behind him and made him play again and again. In the afternoon, his father took him to an art school. There he learned how to paint. The whole day, Xiao Ming had no time to have a rest. He was so tired that he fell ill in the evening/during the night. He was taken to hospital by his parents. What a poor boy! In my opinion, Chinese parents are too strict with their children. They expect their children to become successful in the future. The children are too busy learning all kinds of things all day. I think it’s harmful to them.
