Several days ago, when he went out by himself to collect wood, he fell down and broke his neck. It was a snowy day. The temperature was below zero but Paul just wore a shirt and shorts. He lay in the snow for over 10 hours. Thanks to his dog, he didn’t die. The dog kept him warm through the night and barked for help.“I shouted for help, but my nearest neighbor is about a quarter of a mile away. It was 10:30 p.m., and Kelsey came,” said Paul. Kelsey kept Paul warm by lying on the top of him, and kept him awake by licking (舔) his hands and face.“She kept barking for help and never left my side. By the next morning, my throat was sore and I couldn’t shout for help. But Kelsey didn’t stop barking,” Paul added.Finally, Paul’s neighbor found him after hearing Kelsey’s barks and called 120 right away.

There are plenty of people who are happy to give their opinion of what we will be doing in 2050. Here are two predictions about the world of tomorrow.When we dream about the future, many like to think of owning a personal flying car. It has many advantages. We could fly at 480km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, some people believe there will be problems with traffic. If the cars become popular, there is likely to be an air traffic jam. What will happen if the cars stop working? These are problems we must expect if flying cars become true.Three-dimensional(3D) printing is another new technology. 3D printers are used to build an object. They build the object until it is complete. Car companies already use 3D printers to make life-size models of car parts, and medical companies use the technology to make man-made body parts. As we move into the future, 3D printing will change the way we shop, the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that it will be very expensive.So, in the future, we might be able to fly to work or print out new shoes. Although there are some problems to solve before this will be possible, we can certainly dream of a world where technology makes life easier and safer for millions of people.23．The underlined word “avoiding” means ________ in Chinese.A．预知 B．错开 C．避免 D．遵守24．A personal flying car in the future may have ________ problems.A．two B．three C．four D．five25．________ build the object until it is complete.A．Car companies B．Flying cars C．Body parts D．3D printers26．From the passage we can know that the writer ________ about the future life with technology.A．doesn’t care B．feels hopeful C．feels unbelievable D．really worries In 2003, China sent its first astronaut, Yang Liwei, into space. Since then, 13 Chinese astronauts have “reached for the stars”. Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu are three of them. They carried out the latest (最近的) Shenzhou XIII mission (任务). Have you ever dreamed of becoming an astronaut like them? How did they get there?●Health is importantTo be an astronaut, you need to be very healthy. Good eyesight, a strong heart and lungs (肺) are important. You’d better not have other small problems. For example a decayed tooth (龋齿) could get worse in space and bring trouble to astronauts. You can’t have scars (伤疤) either. They may split (裂开) in space.●Become stronger with hard trainingFor example, you need to build your muscles (肌肉) as strong as professional athletes (专业运动员) by running, swimming and doing pull-up (引体向上). You will also wear a 200-kilogram suit and do tasks underwater for six or seven hours without eating or going to the toilet. This is like doing tasks during a spacewalk.●Learn scienceKnowledge is important as well. Astronauts take 60 courses to get ready for a mission, including math, English, spacecraft design (设计), physics and many more. So they will know what to do when emergencies (紧急情况) happen during the mission. They can also do scientific experiments (实验) in space.27．If astronauts have a decayed tooth in space, ________.A．they might have heart problemB．their decayed tooth might become worseC．their good teeth might splitD．they will have scars in their mouth28．What training should an astronaut take?A．Flying an airplane for about 600 days.B．Playing sports against professional athletes.C．Wearing a special suit and doing tasks underwater.D．Practicing spacewalks for six or seven hours every day.29．For possible problems in space, the astronauts ________.A．take courses to learn things like math and scienceB．take part in designing spacecraftC．make sure there will be no emergenciesD．do scientific experiments on Earth30．What is this passage mainly about?A．How astronauts stay healthy in space.B．Why it’s difficult to become an astronaut.C．How astronauts are training in China.D．What it takes to become an astronaut.  三、语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。将答案填写在答题卷的相应位置。     Helen Skelton is a famous British television reporter.

Animals and humans can get their food by eating plants and other animals. So we need to protect the animals and plants. There are many plants in our land. I want to talk about two kinds of plants: One is a kind of plant with flowers and fruits, and the other is a kind of plant without flowers and fruits. Most trees are plants with flowers and fruits around us. We usually call them flowering plants. Non-flowering plants can’t grow flowers. Non-flowering plants are much fewer than flowering plants.If we look carefully at the plants around us, we will find that some plants are large and some are small. Most of them are green. Their flowers and leaves are very beautiful. They make the world colorful. They can make us happy.56．Humans and animals can not live _________ .57．Humans should protect _________ .58．The writer mainly talks about _________ kinds of plants in the passage.59．Plants without flowers are _________ plants.60．Plants can make the world _________ .  七、书信作文61．假设你是学校英语校刊的编辑王明，收到一封来自初二国际生Bob的英文来信，他在信中提出了自己进入初二以来遇到的学习及生活方面的问题。请根据以下提示写一封回信，说明Bob的问题，并给出你的建议及理由。Bob’s problemsYour adviceReasons与班级同学竞争，学习压力大1、做运动运动有助减压2、…………与父母相处不好，感觉孤单1、与父母谈谈恰当的沟通很重要2、………… 要求：1. 要点齐全，条理清晰，语句通顺，不需逐条翻译；2. 短文不少于80词。开头已经给出，不计入总词数。Dear Bob,I am sorry to hear that you have some trouble now.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Wang Ming
