Have you ever seen a windsock blowing in the wind? Well, you can make one of your own! This is fun game that you can do with things you may have at home. You just need to follow a few easy steps.
You will need:
● one piece of colored paper● five ribbons(丝带)
● strong tape ● a string(绳) ● a pencil
What to do:
Step 1: Draw pictures on the paper. You can write your name on it. Do anything that will make it special to you.
Step 2: Make the paper into the shape of a tube( 管子) .Then stick the tube together at each end and in the middle with a strong tape.
Step 3: Use a pencil to make a hole into both sides of the tube. The holes should be only on one end of the tube. Pull the string through both holes. Then tie( 系 ) the ends of the string together.
Step 4: Now make five holes around the top of the other end of the tube. Put a ribbon through each of the holes. Tie a knot( 结 ) in the ends. Make sure the knots are bigger than the holes.
Now your windsock is ready to use, but how does it work? The shape of the tube plays an important part. Wind blows through the tube and makes it fly and dance around. Hold the windsock up in the air by its string and run around. It will fly behind you. Now you can enjoy watching it dance around on its own!

I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago whose husband unexpectedly died of a heart attack. About a week after his death, she shared some of her thoughts with a classroom of students.
As the late afternoon sunlight came in through the classroom windows and the class was nearly over, she moved a few things aside on her desk and sat down there. With a gentle look of reflection (沉思) on her face, she said, “Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you a thought that has nothing to do with our class today, but I think it is very important. Each of us is put here on earth to learn, share, love and enjoy. None of us knows when this fantastic experience will end. It can be taken away at any moment.”
Her eyes beginning to water, she went on: “So I would like you all to make me a promise. From now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to notice. It doesn’t have to be something you see, it could be a scent— perhaps of newly baked bread coming out of someone’s kitchen, or it could be the sound of the soft wind slightly touching the leaves in the trees ...”
The class was completely quiet. We all picked up our books and went out of the room one by one silently. That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home from school than I had in a whole term.
Take notice of something special on your lunch hour today. Go barefoot (赤脚) or walk on the beach at sunset. For as we get older, it is not the things we did that we often regret, but the things we didn’t do.

Matthew Cuthbert was on his way to Bright River on his horse and carriage. He was a quiet man who didn’t speak much, especially to strangers. So he enjoyed the journey and the smell of the apple trees in silence. He reached Bright River but there was no sign of the 5:30 train which he’d come for. Matthew asked the station manager if it would come soon.
“It came half an hour ago,” answered the manager. “There was one passenger. She’s sitting over there.” “I don’t understand. I’m not expecting a girl,” said Matthew. “It’s a boy that I’ve come for.” “Guess there’s some mistake,” he said. “Talk to the girl. She’s very good at talking. That’s for sure.” Matthew looked at her. She wore an old brown hat which covered two braids of very long, thick, red hair. Her face was small and thin with lots of freckles. Her big green eyes looked back at him. Matthew began walking over but as soon as she saw him walking her way, she started the conversation.
“I suppose you’re Mr. Matthew Cuthbert of Green Gables?” she said in a clear, sweet voice. “I’m Anne. I’m so glad to see you. I was afraid you weren’t coming and I was imagining all the things that might have happened to you. If you didn’t come for me tonight, I made up my mind to go down the road to that cherry tree at the corner, climb up it and stay all night. I wouldn’t be afraid and it would be lovely to sleep in a wild cherry tree all white at night, don’t you think?”
This girl was different. “I’m sorry I’m late,” he said shyly. “Come on. Give me your bag.” As they rode home, Anne talked on and on. Normally, too much talking would make Matthew angry, but from Anne, he didn’t mind(介意). She apologized but Matthew didn’t want her to stop. “Oh, you can talk as much as you like. I don’t mind,” said Matthew. “Oh, I’m so glad. I know you and I are going to get along fine.”
1. Where did Matthew go to?
A. Green Gables B. Bright River C. The market D. The school
2. Who was Matthew expecting?
A. A baby B. A man C. A boy D. A girl
3. Where did Anne plan to stay all night?

4. What did Matthew think of the little girl?

C. He enjoyed himself talking to her. D. He felt bored with her.

Recently, a group of college students have translated the lyrics of over 60 Chinese songs into English in order to help foreigners better understand and enjoy local music. The team, named Melody C2E, is made up of some students from Shanghai International Studies University who share a love for Chinese culture, the English language and music.
Pan Jianghao and Lin Hongying are the two founding members of Melody C2E.While Pan is mainly translating and singing these songs, Lin operates their WeChat account.” We feel that many Chinese people are quite familiar with the latest English songs while foreigners are not that familiar with Chinese songs, especially songs with a deep cultural background or complicated lyrics(复杂歌词),"said Lin.
To bring out the beauty of Chinese songs and introduce them to foreigners, they posted their first song on WeChat in September 2016. Through sharing and re-posting, the song received warm feedback(反馈). More students got to know the group and have recognized their efforts. Together they founded a student association(社团) which now has over 70 members.
According to the team members, they are not only translating but also recreating the song and its lyrics, looking for the right words to fill in the gaps(隔阂) between the two languages. Now, they release a new song every Saturday via WeChat, along with its vocabulary and translations, as learning material for other students. Some of their recreated songs have gained over tens of thousands of views on social media.
After their graduation, both Pan and Lin will begin new careers. Melody C2E, however, will live on. "I hope we will hold onto our original aspiration( 最初的愿望),which is to bring touching Chinese stories and songs to people around the world," said Pan.

五、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，计10分）
I was cycling(骑车) and saw a person about 250 meters ahead of me. I could tell he was cycling a little slower than me and I decided to try to catch up with him. I had about a kilometer to go on the road before turning off.
I started cycling faster and faster and with every block, I got just a little bit closer to him. After a few minutes I was only about 100 meters behind him, so I really picked up the pace and tried my best.
Finally, I caught up with him and passed him. I felt so good. I “beat him”, but he didn’t even know we were racing.
After I passed him, I found that I had missed(错过) my turn, had gone six blocks past it and had to turn around and go all the way back.
Isn’t that what happens in life when we race with others, trying to outdo(胜过) them or trying to show that we are more successful? We spend our time and energy running after them and we miss out on our own paths.
The problem with unhealthy competition(竞赛) is that it’s a never-ending cycle. There will always be somebody ahead of you in one way or another. What you should do is just run your own race and wish others well.
Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.
回答下面5个问题, 每题答案不超过5个词。
1. What did the writer decide to do when he saw a person ahead of him?
_________________________________________________________
2. How did the writer feel when he passed the person?

3. Why did the writer have to turn around?

答案与解析
一、单项选择（共15小题；每小题1分，计15分）
在下列各题A、B、C、D四个选项中选择一个能填入题干空白处的最佳答案。
1. When my cousin was ________ university student, he wanted to be ________ NBA player.
A. a; a B. an; an C. a; an D. an; a
【答案】C
【解析】句意：我表弟上大学的时候，他想成为一名NBA球员。
考查不定冠词，不定冠词a/an表泛指，当单词是以元音音素开头发音时用an，当单词是以辅音音素开头发音时用a。university“大学”是以辅音音素开头发音的，应该用a；NBA是以元音音素开头发音，应该用an，故选C。
2. The murderer killed the man ________ a knife ________ the evening of December 10th.
A. use; on B. using; in C. with; on D. with; in
【答案】C
【解析】句意：杀人犯在12月10日晚上用刀杀了那个人。
考查介词辨析。use使用，动词；using使用，动名词形式；with用……工具，介词；on用于具体的某一天或某一天的上午、下午或晚上之前；in用于年、月和季节之前。根据句子结构可知，空一应用介词with，使用……工具；空二是具体的某一天的晚上，应用on。故选C。
3. —_______ heavy snow! How can we go to work today? — _______ it is snowing heavily, let’s walk instead of driving.
A. What; Because B. What a; Since C. How; As D. How a; Though
【答案】B
【解析】句意：——多么大的一场雪啊！今天我们怎样去上班啊？——既然雪下的那么大，让我们步行吧，别开车了。
考查感叹句和连词。空一所在句是感叹句，snow是名词，这里表示“一场雪”，符合“What+a/an+形容词+名词+（主谓）！”结构，heavy是辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a；because因为；since既然；as因为；though尽管。根据句意可知，空二所在句表示既然下大雪，那就步行吧，since符合语境。故选B。
4. Kobe Bean Bryant _____ more than 9 months ago. That’s to say he has been ________ for over 9 months. His ________ made all his fans very sad.
A. dead; died; death B. died; dead; death C. died; died; dead D. died; dying; dead
【答案】B
【解析】句意：科比·布莱恩特在9个多月前去世了。也就是说他已经死了9个多月了。他的死让他所有的粉丝都很伤心。
考查“die”的用法。die死亡，动词；dead死的，形容词；death死亡，名词。根据句子结构可知，空一是句子的谓语动词，应用动词die，结合时间状语“more than 9 months ago”可知，句子是一般过去时，动词应用过去式died；空二所在的句子是现在完成时，且跟一段时间连用，故把非延续性动词die转化成了延续性动词be dead，故空二应用dead；空三之前有形容词性物主代词his修饰，应是名词death。故选B。
5. I feel ________ necessary to accept Mr. Li’s advice because it’s of great ________ to me.
A. it’s; valuable B. that; value C. this; valuable D. it; value
【答案】D
【解析】句意：我觉得有必要接受李先生的建议，因为这对我很有价值。
考查形式宾语。根据句型feel it+形容词 to do sth“做某事感觉……”和固定搭配of great value“很有价值”可知，应该是我觉得有必要接受李先生的建议，因为这对我很有价值，故选D。
6. —What do you think of the film My People, My Homeland?
—Fantastic. ________ I ________ my daughter likes to see it.
A. Both; and B. Either; or C. Not only; but also D. Neither; nor
【答案】C
【解析】句意：——你认为电影《我和我的家乡》怎么样？——好极了。不仅我而且我的女儿也喜欢看。
考查连词辨析。Both... and……和……都，连接主语时，并列主语看作复数；Either... or或者……或者，连接主语时，谓语动词用就近原则；Not only...but also不仅……而且，连接主语时，谓语动词用就近原则；Neither... nor既不……也不，连接主语时，谓语动词用就近原则。根据“Fantastic”可知两个人都喜欢这部电影，故排除B、D ；根据谓语动词likes是第三人称单数形式，故选C。
7. — To get a better grade, you should ________ the notes again before the test.
— Thanks. I will.
A. come over B. go over C. turn over D. fall over
【答案】B
【解析】句意：—— 为了取得更好的成绩，你应该在考试前把笔记再复习一遍。—— 谢谢。我会的。
考查短语辨析。come over过来；go over复习；turn over翻身；fall over摔倒。根据“To get a better grade”和“before the test”可知，考试前需要再次复习笔记。故选B。
8. —You can’t imagine ________ when I heard the apes speak.
—Anything is possible in films.
A. how amazed I felt B. how amazed did I feel
C. how amazing I felt D. how amazing did I feel
【答案】A
【解析】句意：——你无法想象当我听到类人猿说话时我有多惊讶。 ——电影里什么都有可能。
考查宾语从句以及形容词辨析。宾语从句应该用陈述句语序，排除B/D；根据“when I heard the apes speak.”可知，此处是以人作主语，解释为“感到吃惊的”，需用形容词amazed。故选A。
9. I wonder if you ________ to the party this weekend. If you________ , I will too.
A. will go; go B. go; will go
C. go; go D. will go; will go
【答案】A
【解析】句意：我想知道你这个星期是不是会去聚会。如果你去，我也去。
考查宾语从句和条件状语从句。第一个句子是if引导的宾语从句，主句是一般现在时，从句时态不受限制，根据“this weekend”可知从句用一般将来时；第二个句子是条件状语从句，主句是将来时，从句用一般现在时。故选A。
10. I need ________ money. Would you please lend me ________?
A. a great deal; some B. a great deal of; some C. a great deal; any D. a great deal of; any
【答案】B
【解析】句意：我需要大量的钱。请问你可以借我一些吗？
考查固定短语和some/any的用法。第一个空，a great deal of +不可数名词，表示“大量的……”，根据空后面的money，可排除选项A和C；第二个空，根据“Would you please”可知，本句话为委婉语气，表示请求，some用于表示请求的疑问句中，排除选项D。故选B。
11. It’s raining so ________ that the driver can ________ see anything 20 meters away.
A. hard; hard B. hard; hardly C. hardly; hard D. hardly; hardly
【答案】B
【解析】句意：雨下得很大，司机在20米外几乎看不见任何东西。
考查副词辨析。hard强烈地，努力地，可形容雨势很大；hardly几乎不，表示否定含义；空格一修饰动词raining，描述下雨的程度，第一空应用hard，第二空用hardly，表示几乎看不见任何东西。故选B。
12. —I don’t care __________. In this camp, there’s only one hairstyle-short! Understand?
—Yes, madam!
A. what you are used to liking B. what you used to be like
C. what are you used to liking D. what did you use to be like

I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago whose husband unexpectedly died of a heart attack. About a week after his death, she shared some of her thoughts with a classroom of students.
As the late afternoon sunlight came in through the classroom windows and the class was nearly over, she moved a few things aside on her desk and sat down there. With a gentle look of reflection (沉思) on her face, she said, “Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you a thought that has nothing to do with our class today, but I think it is very important. Each of us is put here on earth to learn, share, love and enjoy. None of us knows when this fantastic experience will end. It can be taken away at any moment.”
Her eyes beginning to water, she went on: “So I would like you all to make me a promise. From now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to notice. It doesn’t have to be something you see, it could be a scent— perhaps of newly baked bread coming out of someone’s kitchen, or it could be the sound of the soft wind slightly touching the leaves in the trees ...”
The class was completely quiet. We all picked up our books and went out of the room one by one silently. That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home from school than I had in a whole term.
Take notice of something special on your lunch hour today. Go barefoot (赤脚) or walk on the beach at sunset. For as we get older, it is not the things we did that we often regret, but the things we didn’t do.

Matthew Cuthbert was on his way to Bright River on his horse and carriage. He was a quiet man who didn’t speak much, especially to strangers. So he enjoyed the journey and the smell of the apple trees in silence. He reached Bright River but there was no sign of the 5:30 train which he’d come for. Matthew asked the station manager if it would come soon.
“It came half an hour ago,” answered the manager. “There was one passenger. She’s sitting over there.” “I don’t understand. I’m not expecting a girl,” said Matthew. “It’s a boy that I’ve come for.” “Guess there’s some mistake,” he said. “Talk to the girl. She’s very good at talking. That’s for sure.” Matthew looked at her. She wore an old brown hat which covered two braids of very long, thick, red hair. Her face was small and thin with lots of freckles. Her big green eyes looked back at him. Matthew began walking over but as soon as she saw him walking her way, she started the conversation.
“I suppose you’re Mr. Matthew Cuthbert of Green Gables?” she said in a clear, sweet voice. “I’m Anne. I’m so glad to see you. I was afraid you weren’t coming and I was imagining all the things that might have happened to you. If you didn’t come for me tonight, I made up my mind to go down the road to that cherry tree at the corner, climb up it and stay all night. I wouldn’t be afraid and it would be lovely to sleep in a wild cherry tree all white at night, don’t you think?”
This girl was different. “I’m sorry I’m late,” he said shyly. “Come on. Give me your bag.” As they rode home, Anne talked on and on. Normally, too much talking would make Matthew angry, but from Anne, he didn’t mind(介意). She apologized but Matthew didn’t want her to stop. “Oh, you can talk as much as you like. I don’t mind,” said Matthew. “Oh, I’m so glad. I know you and I are going to get along fine.”

Recently, a group of college students have translated the lyrics of over 60 Chinese songs into English in order to help foreigners better understand and enjoy local music. The team, named Melody C2E, is made up of some students from Shanghai International Studies University who share a love for Chinese culture, the English language and music.

According to the team members, they are not only translating but also recreating the song and its lyrics, looking for the right words to fill in the gaps(隔阂) between the two languages. Now, they release a new song every Saturday via WeChat, along with its vocabulary and translations, as learning material for other students. Some of their recreated songs have gained over tens of thousands of views on social media.
After their graduation, both Pan and Lin will begin new careers. Melody C2E, however, will live on. "I hope we will hold onto our original aspiration( 最初的愿望),which is to bring touching Chinese stories and songs to people around the world," said Pan.

五、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，计10分）
I was cycling(骑车) and saw a person about 250 meters ahead of me. I could tell he was cycling a little slower than me and I decided to try to catch up with him. I had about a kilometer to go on the road before turning off.
I started cycling faster and faster and with every block, I got just a little bit closer to him. After a few minutes I was only about 100 meters behind him, so I really picked up the pace and tried my best.
Finally, I caught up with him and passed him. I felt so good. I “beat him”, but he didn’t even know we were racing.
After I passed him, I found that I had missed(错过) my turn, had gone six blocks past it and had to turn around and go all the way back.
Isn’t that what happens in life when we race with others, trying to outdo(胜过) them or trying to show that we are more successful? We spend our time and energy running after them and we miss out on our own paths.
The problem with unhealthy competition(竞赛) is that it’s a never-ending cycle. There will always be somebody ahead of you in one way or another. What you should do is just run your own race and wish others well.
Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.

【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了很久以前的一个遥远的小村庄里，有一个以“千镜屋”而著名的地方。一只快乐的狗去这个地方，发现了一千只快乐的狗，决定经常来这里。另一只非常伤心的狗来到这里，发现了一千只伤心的狗，他决定再也不来这里了。这个故事告诉我们生活像一面镜子，如果你对它微笑，它也会对你报以微笑。
1句意：一只快乐的小狗听说了这个地方，决定去参观一下。根据所给空前面的“a”可知，应该填的是可数名词单数，由“ heard of this place”可知，应该是去参观一下，pay a visit“参观，拜访”，故填visit。
2句意：当他到达那里时，他高兴地跳上楼梯，来到房子的门口。分析句子结构可知，应该填的是动词，由前文的“He ran all of his way with a happy heart”和“he jumped happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house”可知，应该是当他到达那里时，reach“到达”，时态是一般过去时，故填reached。
3句意：他把耳朵举得很高，尾巴抖得很厉害，从洞里往外看。根据所给空后面“the hole”可知，应该是通过洞向外看，through“通过”，表示从物体中间穿过，故填through。
4句意：令他吃惊的是，他发现自己看着另外1000只快乐的小狗，它们的尾巴抖得和他的一样快。根据后文的“looking at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails shaking just as fast as his”可知，他发现自己正看着另外1000只快乐的小狗，用反身代词himself表示“他自己”，故填himself。
5句意：他微微一笑，得到的回答是1000个灿烂的微笑，和他的一样热情友好。根据“warm and”可知，应该填的是形容词，由“He smiled a great smile”可知，应该是温暖友好的，friendly“友好的”，故填friendly。
6句意：在同一个村子里，另一只整天穿着蓝色衣服、悲伤的小狗也决定去参观这所房子。根据后文的“little dog, who was sad and in blue all the day, decided to visit the house, too”可知，应该是另一个小狗，也决定去参观这所房子，another dog意为“另一只狗”，故填another。
7句意：令他大吃一惊的是，他看到1000只不友好的狗正看着他，于是他马上对它们大喊大叫。根据后面的“he saw the 1000 unfriendly dogs looking at him, so he shouted at them right away”可知，应该是令他惊讶的是，to one’s surprise“使某人惊讶的是”，故填surprise。
8句意：然后他很恐惧地看到1000只小狗同时向他大叫。根据前文的“so he shouted at them right away”可知，应该是看到1000只小狗向他大叫，see sb doing sth“看见某人正在做某事”可知，应该填动名词作宾补，shout“大叫”动名词形式是shouting，故填shouting。
9句意：他迅速地离开了这所房子。根据“left the house”可知，应该填的是副词修饰动词，由“ Then he was frightened to see 1000 little dogs shouting”可知，应该是迅速地离开了这所房子，quickly意为“迅速地”，故填quickly。
10句意：如果你对它微笑，它也会对你报以微笑。根据前文的“Life is like a mirror”可知，你对生活微笑，它也会对你报以微笑，smile back at意为“对……报以微笑”，故填back。

1. 保持所有东西井然有序是个好习惯。
________________________________________________
【答案】It’s a good habit to keep everything/all the things in good order.
【解析】做某事是一个好习惯：It is a good habit to do sth.；保持……井然有序：keep sth. in good order；所有东西：everything/all the things。故填It’s a good habit to keep everything/all the things in good order.
2. 如果你对你的儿子要求太严格，他会失去信心的。
________________________
【答案】If you are too strict with your son, he will lose heart.
【解析】如果：if；你：you；对某人严格要求：be strict with sb.；你的儿子：your son；太：too，修饰形容词；他：he；失去：lose；信心：heart。根据句意可知，此句为复合句；结合语境可知，条件状语从句用一般现在时，主句用一般将来时，构成形式为：will do。故填If you are too strict with your son, he will lose heart.
3. 很多和我同年的学生发现很难在功课和爱好之间保持平衡。
________________________________________________.
【答案】Many students of my age find it hard to keep a balance between their schoolwork and hobbies
【解析】很多和我同年的学生：many students of my age；发现……很难：find it hard to do sth.；在功课和爱好之间保持平衡：keep a balance between their schoolwork and hobbies。结合语境可知，此题为一般现在时，主语“many students of my age”是复数，谓语使用动词原形。故填Many students of my age find it hard to keep a balance between their schoolwork and hobbies。
4. 由于他的体型，他被迫离开了他喜爱的篮球队。
________________________________________________
【答案】Because of his body type, he was forced to leave his favourite basketball team.
【解析】由于他的体型：because of his body type；他：he，主格代词作主语；被迫做某事：be forced to do sth.；离开：leave；他喜爱的篮球队：his favourite basketball team。结合语境可知，he是单数第三人称，“被迫离开”是发生在过去的动作，系词需用was；句首单词的首字母需大写，故填Because of his body type, he was forced to leave his favourite basketball team。
5. 尽管他很累，他宁愿继续工作也不愿停下来休息。
________________________________________________
【答案】Though he is tired, he prefers to go on to do his work rather than stop to have a rest. / Though he is tired, he prefers to go on with his work rather than stop to have a rest./Though he is tired, he would rather go on to do his work than stop to have a rest.
【解析】表示“尽管”用连词“though”引导让步状语从句。从句的主语是“他he”，be动词用“is”,表示“很累”用形容词“tired”作表语。主句的主语是“他he”，表示“宁愿做某事也不愿”用“prefer to do rather than do”或“would rather do than do”。表示“继续工作”用短语“go on to do his work”或 “go on with his work”。表示“停下来休息”用“stop to have a rest”。故填Though he is tired, he prefers to go on to do his work rather than stop to have a rest. / Though he is tired, he prefers to go on with his work rather than stop to have a rest. /Though he is tired, he would rather go on to do his work than stop to have a rest.

【答案】
Dear Sir or Madam
I’m writing to recommend Mr. Li for this year’s Best Teacher Award.
Mr. Li is in his thirties. He likes orange, because orange represents joy. He has many strong qualities for this award. He always works to high standards. He never laughs at his students and is willing to share their worries. He thinks as a teacher, he can’t be too careful. He hopes he can help more students make progress in their study. He once helped me with my lessons when I was absent from school because of illness.
I think Mr. Li is the most suitable person for the award. I hope you will agree with me.
Yours sincerely,
Zhang Tao
