阅读下列短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将相应的字母编号涂黑 (共15小题，每小题2分)。
A
In nature, you may see many insects (昆虫) and animals of different colors. Do you know why?
Locusts (蝗虫) are very delicious food for birds, but it is not always easy for birds to catch them. That is not because locusts are good jumpers or runners. Is that because they are smarter than their enemies (敌人)? The answer is “no”. The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops (庄稼). When crops are young, locusts look green. But when autumn comes, locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do.
Brown bears, tigers and other animals move quietly through forests. They can’t be seen easily by their enemies. This is because they have the colors like the trees. For the same reason, polar bears are white like the color of snow. Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers. Soil insects are mostly dark-colored and they live under the dark and wet soil. However, insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others. In order to survive, they have to hide themselves in the daytime and come out only at night for their safety.
The ink fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger. As the ink spreads over (喷洒), its enemies will find themselves suddenly in a dark world. At the same time the ink fish swims away at once. That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at all.

A. do not have bright colors B. change their colors quickly
C. do not live in a dark and wet environment D. eat colorful insects like butterflies and bees
30. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “survive” in the passage?
A. 繁殖 B. 产卵 C. 觅食 D. 生存
31. The ink fish ________ so that its enemies will not see it.
A. changes its color B. makes the water around it black
C. spreads water over D. hides itself in the sea rocks
32. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Some insects and animals have different skills.
B. Some insects and animals are cleverer than we think.
C. Some insects and animals use colors to protect themselves.
D. Some insects and animals can change color easily.

Tim Berners-Lee is not the most famous inventor in the world. However, his invention has changed our lives.
He was born in London, England in 1955. When he was a small boy, Tim was interested in playing with electrical things. He studied science at Oxford University. He made his first computer from an old television at the age of 21.
Tim started working on early computers. At that time, they were much bigger than now. He worked in England then Switzerland. Tim was really interested in two things, computers and how the brain works. How could the brain connect so many facts so quickly? He had to work with people all over the world. They shared information about computers. It was hard to manage all the information. He answered the same questions again and again. It took a lot of time. It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information. Tim also forgot things easily. Could a computer work like a brain? Could it “talk” to other computers?
There was an Internet already but it was difficult to use. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web (WWW) all by himself. This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet. When people wanted to share information with others, they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that.
Tim Berners-Lee doesn’t think he did anything special. He says that all of the ideas about the Internet were already there. All he did was to put them together. He says that many other people worked together to make the Internet what it is today.
Most inventors want to become rich. But Tim gave away the World Wide Web for nothing. He now works in America. He helps people share technology and wants the Internet to be free for everyone to use. Maybe he is the most important but least famous inventor in the world today!
33. What was Tim Berners-Lee interested in?
A. Looking for jobs in different cities. B. Talking to people around the world.
C. Studying how to connect computers. D. Exploring how to improve memory.
34. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refers to “________”.
A. Working on early computers B. Connecting different facts together
C. Travelling to the office in Switzerland D. Repeating the answers to the same questions
35. Why is Tim Berners-Lee one of the most important men in the world?
A. He made information sharing on the Internet possible.
B. He made the first computer when he was 21 years old.
C. He helped people understand better how the brain works.
D. He invented the Internet and made it free for everyone to use.
36. In what order did the following events take place?
a. Tim worked in England.
b. Tim worked in Switzerland.
c. Tim made his first computer.
d. Tim invented the World Wide Web.
e. Tim studied science at Oxford University.
A. c—e—d—a—b B. e—b—a—c—d C. c—d—a—e—b D. e—c—a—b—d
37. What does the writer think of Tim Berners—Lee?
A. He is not famous because he is not rich.
B. He has changed our lives and he is great.
C. He did nothing special but make people a good life.
D. He has made great achievements in memory research.

第二节 语篇填空
请阅读短文并从下列方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯 (共5小题，每小题1分)。
Now students’ English handwriting gets worse and worse. That makes their teachers feel worried. Is your English handwriting beautiful? 43
Use paper with lines
When you write English words or sentences, you can use paper with lines. That will make your handwriting straight. 44 Be sure to fill the lined space completely. And make sure these capital letters are written properly.
Slow down
If your writing is hard to read, just slow down a little. 45 If you write too quickly, it’s hard for you to stop where you should, and you may make more mistakes easily.
46
When you hold your pencil in the correct way, writing is much better. Some kids press down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting bad. Try to be relaxed and don’t hold the pencil so hard. Let your writing appear nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student with a good habit.
Draw more pictures
47
While you are drawing pictures, you need to use the skills to control your pencil better. Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by drawing at home. Handwriting is very important. Imagine you are a famous movie star or a well-known sports player, what do you do when your fans run up to you? Give them your autographs (签名), of course!

B. Hold your pencil right.
