B．Bob. C．Jenny. D．Jim.27．Jim believes the earth will become cleaner because people will ________.A．only eat healthy food B．use energy from the sunC．live under the water D．put computers in the clothes28．The four kids are talking about ________.A．what the world will be like B．how fast cars will flyC．where people will get fresh food D．how much land there will beB①A long time ago, people were very different from the way we are now. For example, if you find a really old house somewhere, you will see that the doors are usually much lower than they are today. Why? Because hundreds of years ago, people were shorter. Over time, the human body has changed a lot. ②Can we expect the human body to keep changing in the future? For sure, and the main reason is that we have more and more technology (科技), and it’s changing how we live. Here are some possible changes.③In the future, people will probably be even taller. Most of us now have much better food than people in the past, so we grow more. But we will get weaker (弱的) in more than one way. Our muscles (肌肉) will not be as strong as now, because we won’t do lots of physical work.④We are already using our feet less, and our hands more (think about cars and computers). So we can expect that our legs will get shorter and our feet smaller. At the same time, our fingers (手指) will get longer. And our fingers and eyes will both get better, because they will have to do more work together.⑤What about the mouth? It will get smaller, because we needn’t talk so much with the help of technology. And last but not least—people won’t have much hair on their bodies as now, because we don’t need it to keep ourselves warm anymore.⑥Will all these things happen? And if so, when? These are questions that no one can answer for sure.29．What will our muscles be like in the future according to the passage?A．They will be weaker than now. B．They will get better.C．They will be as strong as now. D．We won’t have muscles on our bodies.30．The underlined word “they” in the fourth paragraph refers to (指代) _________.A．legs and feet B．fingers C．eyes D．fingers and eyes31．If we put the passage into 3 parts, which of the following is the best?A．①②;③④;⑤⑥ B．①;②;③④⑤⑥ C．①②③;④⑤;⑥ D．①②;③④⑤;⑥32．What’s the best title for this passage?A．Terrible Future B．Changing Bodies C．Future Technology D．How to live a lifeCMy family had just moved from Manchester to Cambridge, and I missed my best friend, Marcus. Back home, we played basketball and did homework together. Before I left, we promised to get good grades and go to Cambridge University together. But going to Cambridge with my best friend was years away, and now, after three weeks at a new middle school, I still sat alone during lunch.One day, I saw a boy named Reggie playing basketball with his friends. Reggie was the coolest guy, making jokes and always the center of attention. As I watched them play, the ball flew towards me. I caught it and took a quick shot (投篮). Reggie noticed and said, “Nice shot! Want to join us?”“Sure,” I said, and joined their game. For the first time, I felt happy—I was finally making friends. Then the bell rang. As I started to leave, Reggie threw the ball back to me. “Forget class! Let’s finish the game,” he said. I didn’t want to miss class, and I also didn’t want to lose my chance to be part of the group.“Come on, it’s just one class. We’ve seen you sitting alone at lunch. Now, we’re your group,” Reggie said with a smile. Skipping (逃课) once wouldn’t hurt, right? I bounced (拍) the ball and kept playing, but then I heard Marcus’s voice in my head: “Would a Cambridge student skip classes?” The voice got louder and louder. Finally, I dropped the ball. “I’ve got to go,” I told Reggie. I knew that skipping once could lead to skipping more, and I didn’t want to start the year that way. It just didn’t feel right.When I got to class, Miss Smith told me I was late and paired me with a new student named James. We worked together and found out we had a lot in common He played basketball, worked hard in school, and wanted to go to Cambridge, too.After school, James and I played basketball and studied together. I realized that while I didn’t have Marcus or Reggie, James could be the start of my new group. Maybe things at this new school were going to be OK after all.33．During the first three weeks at the new school, the writer ________.A．didn’t make any new friends B．was afraid to talk to his teachersC．couldn’t keep up with schoolwork D．was nervous about joining new clubs34．The writer and his friend Marcus promised to ________.A．help each other with study B．play basketball on weekendsC．go to the same university D．have lunch together once a week35．What did the writer finally do after Reggie suggested skipping class?A．He talked with his best friend. B．He asked the teacher for advice.C．He asked Reggie to have class with him. D．He stopped playing and went back to class.36．What does the story mainly want to tell us?A．We should be brave to make the right choice. B．Breaking rules can cause serious problems.C．Being friendly to others is very important. D．It’s very difficult to fit into a new school.D“Basill! Basil!” shouted worriedly the little old lady, standing in the middle of the road.“Are you all right, Mrs. Jackson?” asked Dan, looking at her. Mrs. Jackson lived in a small house at the end of Dan’s street. But now she was standing in the middle of the road. A worrying look was on her face because her dog was lost. First she looked one way up the street. Then she looked the other way. She didn’t hear Dan or see him.“Mrs. Jackson,” said Dan again more loudly. “Are you OK?”This time Mrs. Jackson heard him.

He knew that something was wrong.“It’s not like Basil to run away,” said Mrs. Jackson sadly. “He’s such a good dog usually. I don’t know what to do.”“I’m sure we can find him,” said Dan. “Dylan and me. We’re very good at finding things. My dad lost his car keys last week and I found them for him. And Dylan found my mum’s shoes under her bed.” Mrs. Jackson gave a little smile.“Well, it’s really kind of you, and I hope you can find it, Dan,” she said.“OK,” said Dan. “First of all, Dylan has to smell something of Basil’s. Perhaps he can sniff Besil’s bed — his nose is excellent so he knows what smell to follow.

Among them is Zhong Wei, a 46-year-old husband and father. He has lived in Wenzhou for the last 13 years. With a hard job in a factory, he doesn’t find much time to visit his hometown. “I used to return home at least once a year. 42 It’s a shame, but I just don’t have the time,” he says. Many people like Zhong Wei show great interest in how their hometowns have changed. 43 In many places, the government has also built new schools and sent teachers from the cities to help. “I noticed that’s true of my hometown,” adds Zhong Wei. “Children have studied at my old primary school since the 1960s.

In my memory, the cold air was f 56 with the cheerful sounds of people playing on the frozen lake, and the sky mixed with the mountains far away.The Summer Palace, built in the Qing dynasty, is now open to visitors. It is a popular park in Beijing, e 57 during winter. People may not see beautiful flowers in winter, but they can enjoy themselves playing on the ice there. For example, thick ice c 58 the whole Kunming Lake in sunlight. That makes Kunming Lake become an excellent n 59 ice rink (溜冰场). People had a lot of fun on Kunming Lake. While playing with my dad on ice sleds (雪橇), I saw a group of people putting some sleds together into a long line. How e 60 it was to feel the cold wind while flying on an ice sled on the grounds of the Summer Palace!In the past, during the long cold winters, people used ice sleds as a form of transport (交通方式) to go a 61 frozen lakes and rivers to get to the other side. My grandparents and parents were also able to play on the ice when they were children. I talked to my grandfather about his experiences playing with ice sleds during his childhood. This is w 62 he said, “In winter, my friends and I would go to a frozen lake. We found some t 63 and materials to make sleds. We used metal (金属的) sticks to m 64 the ice sleds around.

Whether it’s on the way to work, a journey to the shops, or a sightseeing trip, there’re people on buses, the Tube, cars, motorbikes, bicycles and even roller skates. The traffic is already heavy and now there’s a new way of transport—electric scooters (e-scooters). This traditional children’s vehicle (交通工具) has become more advanced over the years. And now, scooting has become a cheap and easy way of transport, so it’s no wonder they’re becoming more and more popular in cities around the world. But following a lot of traffic accidents caused by electric scooters in the UK, questions are being asked about their safety and whether traffic laws should be changed. Some scooter riders have been seen on pavements (人行道) and others on the road jumping red traffic lights, making the car drivers annoyed (恼火). In the UK, the law states that anyone mustn’t ride a scooter on the public highway or pavement. The police will fine (罚款) the riders up to £300 and take away six points on their driving licence (执照) for doing so. But, despite (尽管) this, it seems that there’re still many young people on e-scooters everywhere. And now users are calling on rules to be changed. The UK government is looking at how safely they can be used on the road and is reviewing the law. But its transport minister, Michael Ellis, has told the BBC that, “e-scooters are appearing in countries around the world and are an exciting innovation (创新) for which we know there is need. However, safety must always be in our mind when thinking about their use on public highways in this country.”It’s true there are dangers in riding a two-wheeled scooter. Despite the fact that only a few e-scooters can be faster than 30mph, they sometimes only have one brake ( 刹车) and no lights. They also become dangerous if the riders hit something, and however confident the riders may be, larger vehicles on the road make them easy to be hurt. So it seems more work needs to be done to give e-scooters a safe space to travel in. 66．How many ways of transport does the writer mention (提及) in Paragraph 1? 67．Why do more and more people like riding e-scooters? 68．How will the police in the UK punish (处罚) the people riding e-scooters on the public highways or pavements? 69．What does Michael Ellis think we must always keep in our mind? 70．What do you think of riding e-scooters?(请自拟作答) 八、作文（满分20分）71．假设某中学生英文报开展关于生活变化的征文活动，请你根据下表所提供的要点，以“Changes in our lives”为题，为该报写一篇文章，简述家乡、交通、学校以及个人的若干变化，并展望未来生活。注意: 1. 包括所给要点，可以适当发挥，不要简单翻译；2. 词数80左右，开头已经给出，不计入总词数。Changes in our livesWith the development of China’s economy (经济), great changes have taken place in our lives in the past few years. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________LaraThere won’t be much land, so there will be big cities underwater, and we will travel in submarines (潜艇).
