Every day after school, I worked with the new teacher. He told me that my job would be to play center(中锋). I practiced hard. Most of all, I practiced shooting (投篮).When I first started,I got zero of ten shots(投篮)I took.But after a few weeks, I had about five of ten shots landing in the basket. I still wasn't very good. But I was so tall that if someone took a shot I was usually the first one to reach the ball after it came down.
The season came and went. We didn't do very well, but I learned something about myself. I'm in Grade 9 now and not good enough yet to make it to the high school team. But I think I will be next year.

VII.任务型阅读：阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。（共5小题，计10分）
Children's lives have changed greatly over the last 50 years. I have four brothers and sisters. We used to play board games in the living room , spend days in the street with the other neighborhood children,and ride bikes to tour around the town.
These days, in the UK at least, the nature of childhood has changed greatly. Firstly, families are getting smaller, as more and more families have only one child. It is common for both parents to work outside, and it seems that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child. As a result, today's children spend much of their time alone. Another great change is that children today spend a lot of their free time at home, inside. This is because parents worry about real or imagined dangers, so they wouldn't let their children play outside by themselves.Finally, the way children play is completely different. Almost every home has at least one computer and many children have a mobile phone. Mobile games have replaced the board games and other interesting activities of my childhood. However, the fact is that playing mobile games alone can make people feel lonelier.
Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had? I personally believe that they do.

71. How many changes in the UK does the article mainly talk about?
It mainly talks about __________.
72.Why don’t parents today allow their children to play outside alone?
Because of___________________.
73. What will happen if children always play mobile games alone?
If children always play mobile games alone, they will _________________.
74. In the passage,what does the underlined word “they" refer to?
In the passage, the underlined word “they" refers to_________________.
75. What is the passage mainly about?
It is mainly about_________________.

VIII.补全对话（共5小题，计5分）
A: Excuse me,sir.76. _________________？
B: Of course. Go along this street, and turn left at the second crossing. Then go straight along Huayuan Road until the end. You will see the subway station on your right.
A:77. _________________？
B: It's about 15 minutes' walk.
A: I'm in a rush.78. _________________？
B: Yes, the bus stop is over there.

VII.任务型阅读：阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。（共5小题，计10分）
Children's lives have changed greatly over the last 50 years. I have four brothers and sisters. We used to play board games in the living room , spend days in the street with the other neighborhood children,and ride bikes to tour around the town.
These days, 71in the UK at least, the nature of childhood has changed greatly. 71--1Firstly, families are getting smaller, as more and more families have only one child. It is common for both parents to work outside, and it seems that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child. As a result, today's children spend much of their time alone. 71--2 Another great change is that children today spend a lot of their free time at home, inside. This is because parents 72worry about real or imagined dangers, so they wouldn't let their children play outside by themselves.71--3Finally, the way children play is completely different. Almost every home has at least one computer and many children have a mobile phone. Mobile games have replaced the board games and other interesting activities of my childhood. However, the fact is that 73 playing mobile games alone can make people feel lonelier.
Do 74these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had? I personally believe that 74they do.
