Josh lived in a small town in Italy. He had a little white pig. Every day he tied it to a tree in the morning. One day, the pig was missing. “Someone stole my pig”, said Josh. Josh was angry. He told himself he must find the thief (贼). He knew it would not be difficult because the town was very small. Then, someone told him that his neighbour, Richard, suddenly got a new pig. He went to Richard’s house.
“Richard, the pig is my pig. You had better return it to me. If you don’t, I’ll call the police,” Josh said. “That’s going a bit too far! I just bought one. And, you see, my pig is black,” said Richard, pointing at a black pig under a tree. “Richard, I’m sorry. This is not my pig. My pig is white.”

Imagine you are in Africa. Suddenly, a group of spots streaks past you. What was it? It may have been a cheetah, the fastest animal on land. It can run up to 70 miles per hour, which is faster than most cars moving on the highway!
In many ways, the cheetah is built for speed. Even though this animal is a cat, its paws are much more like a dog’s paws. The paws allow the cheetah to make quick turns. A cheetah also has long legs that help it take big steps. It can jump as far as 20 feet in one leap! Even the cheetah’s backbone helps it move quickly. The backbone acts as a spring (弹簧), moving the cheetah forward with sudden burst (迸发) of energy. Although the cheetah can run fast, it cannot run for long distance. It uses its energy quickly and becomes tired. If the cheetah cannot catch its dinner in a hurry, it will have to rest a while before trying again.
A cheetah is also made to be a great hunter. It has sharp eyesight. A cheetah can see other animals up to three miles away. Good eyesight helps the cheetah find its prey (猎物) so it can plan an attack. A cheetah’s coat is also very useful. The coat is light brown with black spots. It allows a cheetah to hide in the tall, brown grass in Africa. Other animals do not see it hiding, so a cheetah can get close to rabbits, birds, and other animals quietly.
Today the cheetah is in danger. Parts of Africa are being turned into farms. This change forces the cheetah and other animals to find new places to live, which is not always easy. Cheetahs are also being hunted by other animals such as lions and hyenas. However, zookeepers and wildlife experts are trying to save the cheetah. Maybe with their help, cheetahs will grow larger in number.
26．Suddenly, a group of spots streaks past you. “streaks” means “________”.
A．searches for food B．gets close quietly
C．moves with great speed D．plans a sudden attack
27．The cheetah’s coat is MOST useful because it ________.
A．protects the cheetah from the sun
B．helps the cheetah hide in the grass
C．keeps the cheetah cool after a long run
D．lets the cheetah move with great speed
28．Read this chart.
When:
Then:
Cheetahs use their energy very quickly.
Cheetahs stop to rest if they
do not catch their prey.
Lions and hyenas hunt cheetahs.
The chart shows some information from the article. Which can be put in the empty box?A．Cheetahs hide in the tall, brown grass.
B．People in Africa hunt lions and hyenas.
C．Wildlife experts send cheetahs to the zoo.
D．The number of cheetahs becomes smaller.
29．“Speedy and Spotty” is a good title for the article because ________.
A．it gives the names of two cheetahs
B．it catches the readers’ attention
C．it explains how cheetahs act in the wild

A photographer takes a picture and a moment is recorded. Photos can be quite meaningful, as they show big changes in our lives and record exciting moments. Let’s look at four best pictures in 2019.
Jack Ma says goodbye: On Teachers’ Day, Jack Ma dressed up like a rock star to say goodbye to his business. The 55-year-old chairman of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd, which was founded 20 years ago, stepped down from the position.

Women win again: On September 29—right before the 70th birthday of New China—the Chinese women’s volleyball team took home the Women’s Volleyball World Cup in Japan. The team scored an amazing 11 straight wins at this year’s World Cup. They also became the first team in the world to win the Women’s Volleyball World Cup title five times. They showed the fighting spirit of the team.
The moment: Look! This marmot（土拨鼠）looks so afraid. Why? Because a fox（狐狸）is running after it! Chinese photographer Bao Yongqing took this picture on the Qinghai—Tibet Plateau（青藏高原）. With this picture, Bao won Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2019. This was the first time for a Chinese photographer to win.
Fighting the bull（公牛）: How cool! This man jumps up high to fight against a bull. It was one of many exciting scenes（场面）at a bullfighting event in Spain. Spanish people enjoy watching bullfighting and hold many bullfighting events every year.

What makes you work hard? Having your own goals (目标) is important. Good sleep helps. But having a plant on your desk can make you work harder as well.
Mike Robinson, an engineer from Canada, has a small company. One day, his wife suggested picking out some plants and putting them on his workers' desks. Robinson didn't think it was a good idea at first. What good would plants do? He thought they might even distract workers from their work. But he decided to have a try.
Robinson bought 20 plants for his workers. He asked each worker to make a small sign that said. "My name is ________" and they write their own name on the sign. Then, they put the sign plant they chose and took it back to their desk. To his surprise, Robinson found that his workers were working much harder and getting along much better than before.
It could be because his workers had "friendships" with their plants. They would take care of them and take more care with their work. Plants can help to make a good atmosphere as well.
What about you? Are there any plants in the classroom or on your desk? Can your plants change your class for the better? If you don't have one, you might want to ask your teacher about this. You and your classmates could take turns taking care of some plants in your classroom. It could be a nice way to make your classroom more lively and get to know classmates even better.
35．Why didn't Robinson agree with his wife’s advice at first?
A．Because his company was too small to do it.
B．Because he didn't think it would help.
C．Because he thought it would cost too much money.
D．Because he didn't want to take care of the plants.

D．makes the air in the classroom fresh
37．The story of Robinson is mainly about _________.
A．how having plants makes you work harder
B．why having a goal is helpful for your work
C．how your friends help you with your work
D．why good sleep is important for your work
Experts (专家) say that students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep at night, but most Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard, but not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger (手指) with his eyes still closed, begging(请求) for one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of students — “early birds” in China, he has to get up before six every morning.
A report shows that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.
Experts have ever said that the students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study late, they are able to work well in class.

A．it wasn’t time for him to get up B．he didn’t want to go to school

42．According to the passage, which of the following is Right?

C．If you want to study better, you must work hard at night.
D．Working harder means a good high school and then a famous university.
三、阅读判断
Greenland is the largest island（岛）in the world. It’s in Europe（欧洲）. Near Greenland there is another land. It’s very small. Its name is Iceland. Do you think Greenland is green and warm? And do you think Iceland is white with ice? If you do, you are quite wrong. Few people live on Greenland. Maybe there are more people in one small town on Iceland than those in the whole of Greenland. Because most of the island is covered with（覆盖）ice, the ice on Greenland is higher than the tallest building in the world. How about Iceland? Is it colder than Greenland? No, it isn’t. Iceland has ice, but not so much ice as Greenland. Iceland has lots of hot springs. They give out hot water and steam（水蒸气）. The weather is not so cold as that on Greenland. And there are more people on Iceland than on Greenland.
根据短文内容，判断正（A）误（B）。

44．The weather on Greenland is colder than that on Iceland.
45．“hot springs” here means “暖春”.

In a wheat field (麦田), there was sparrow nest (雀巢). One morning, when the mother sparrow planned to go out for something to eat, she said to her little babies, “The wheat is ripe (熟了), but we don’t know when the farmers will come. Please don’t sleep in the daytime. When I come home at night, tell me what you see and hear. The little sparrows answered, “We will do it.” The mother sang and flew away.
Later the farmer with his son came to look at the wheat. “Well, John,” the farmer said, “it is time to cut the wheat. We can visit our neighbors (邻居) this evening and ask them to join us tomorrow.”
When the mother sparrow returned, a little sparrow told her what they heard. The other three ones were so afraid that they asked their mother to move out of the field immediately (立即). “Don’t be afraid,” the mother said. “His neighbors also need to cut the wheat, so he has to wait for a long time. We will have enough time to fly away.”

It’s a common belief that fish can’t remember anything for longer than seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that every moment in their lives would be like seeing the world for the first time. ____73____ A new study has found that fish have much better memories than we used to think.
In the study, researchers from Mac Ewan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They took the fish out and then waited for 12 days ____74____ They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food.
In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time. In their opinion (观点), ____75____ But there was no clear evidence until the latest findings. ____76____ it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild. “If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains (容纳) safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives in danger,” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.
So next time you are watching your pet fish from outside the tank, perhaps you should feel closer to them. ____77____
A．They may remember who you are.
B．But don’t be so quick to feel sorry for them.
C．before putting them back in the tank again.
D．African cichlids might have a good memory.

F．Just as a good memory can make our lives easier.

The giraffe is smaller than the blue whale but it is also a record breaker. ___80___ It’s got the longest neck—about 2 meters long, and it’s got the longest legs—about 1.8 meters long. Drinking is difficult, but eating from the top of trees is easy! ___81___
The most dangerous animal in the world isn’t a lion or a bear. It’s an insect! The mosquitoes (蚊子) that carry malaria (疟疾) kill over 1 million people a year. ___82___ They kill 50, 000 to 125, 000 people a year.

Beijing is the capital city of China with a long history. It is in the north of China and it has a large population. One of the most famous places you should visit is the Great Wall.

It is also a wonderful project in the world.
I’m sure you will have a great time in Beijing.

117．例文：
Let’s Help Animals
We should help and protect animals.
As we all know, animals are our friends and we should love and protect them. But now lots of animals are in danger for many reasons. Many wild animals do not have safe places to live, because villages and farms are growing bigger and taking away their land and forests. Besides, there is not enough clean food or water.
What should we do to help them? Firstly, we should let more people know more about the animals in danger. Secondly, we should stop people cutting down the trees, then animals can have more food to eat. Finally, we should set up more nature parks to help them live in peace.
Let’s take action to protect animals.
118．例文
Dear Chris,
I’m glad to receive your letter and I am happy to know that you have interest in Beijing traditional culture. I’d like to share my experience with you.
Beijing has many places of interest, such as the Palace Museum, the Capital Museum, Lao She Teahouse and so on. Beijing also has a lot of traditional culture. The Beijing Opera is one of the most famous traditional cultures. Last week I went to Lao She Teahouse because it is famous in Beijing. There, I saw Peking Opera, which is one of the most traditional cultures in Beijing. I learned how great their performances were. I think Beijing Opera is one of the symbols of Beijing. I love Chinese traditional culture.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely yours,

119．例文：
The Crow and the Pitcher
It was a hot day. A crow felt so thirsty that he looked for water everywhere. Finally, he found a pitcher. But there wasn’t much water in it. So his beak couldn’t reach it.
When he wanted to give up，he came up with an idea. He picked up a small stone and dropped it into the pitcher. Then he took another and dropped it in. Gradually, the water rose and he was able to drink the water.
How clever the crow was!
120．例文：
Dear Chairperson,
I would like to join the Animal Protection Society. I am Li Ping and I was born on October 20th, 2008. I am a Grade 8 student and study at No.1 Middle School now. Winter is my favourite season because I can make a snowman and have a snowball fight. I like collecting pictures of all kinds of animals and reading books about animals.
I want to join the society because I enjoy the nature and I want to learn more about the qualities of all kinds of animals. I also want to do something to protect the animals from danger. If I was lucky enough to join the society, I would take action to protect the animals. First, I will encourage more people to take part in the activities. Second, I will tell people not to kill the animals for their fur. Finally, I will advise the government to make laws and build more nature reserves for wild animals.
I am free every Sunday, so I can take part in activities the whole day. Please call me at 0523-82835988 or email me at 8344506@qq.com. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,

Josh lived in a small town in Italy. He had a little white pig. Every day he tied it to a tree in the morning. One day, the pig was missing. “Someone stole my pig”, said Josh. Josh was angry. He told himself he must find the thief (贼). He knew it would not be difficult because the town was very small. Then, someone told him that his neighbour, Richard, suddenly got a new pig. He went to Richard’s house.
“Richard, the pig is my pig. You had better return it to me. If you don’t, I’ll call the police,” Josh said. “That’s going a bit too far! I just bought one. And, you see, my pig is black,” said Richard, pointing at a black pig under a tree. “Richard, I’m sorry. This is not my pig. My pig is white.”

Imagine you are in Africa. Suddenly, a group of spots streaks past you. What was it? It may have been a cheetah, the fastest animal on land. It can run up to 70 miles per hour, which is faster than most cars moving on the highway!
In many ways, the cheetah is built for speed. Even though this animal is a cat, its paws are much more like a dog’s paws. The paws allow the cheetah to make quick turns. A cheetah also has long legs that help it take big steps. It can jump as far as 20 feet in one leap! Even the cheetah’s backbone helps it move quickly. The backbone acts as a spring (弹簧), moving the cheetah forward with sudden burst (迸发) of energy. Although the cheetah can run fast, it cannot run for long distance. It uses its energy quickly and becomes tired. If the cheetah cannot catch its dinner in a hurry, it will have to rest a while before trying again.
A cheetah is also made to be a great hunter. It has sharp eyesight. A cheetah can see other animals up to three miles away. Good eyesight helps the cheetah find its prey (猎物) so it can plan an attack. A cheetah’s coat is also very useful. The coat is light brown with black spots. It allows a cheetah to hide in the tall, brown grass in Africa. Other animals do not see it hiding, so a cheetah can get close to rabbits, birds, and other animals quietly.
Today the cheetah is in danger. Parts of Africa are being turned into farms. This change forces the cheetah and other animals to find new places to live, which is not always easy. Cheetahs are also being hunted by other animals such as lions and hyenas. However, zookeepers and wildlife experts are trying to save the cheetah. Maybe with their help, cheetahs will grow larger in number.
26．Suddenly, a group of spots streaks past you. “streaks” means “________”.
A．searches for food B．gets close quietly
C．moves with great speed D．plans a sudden attack
27．The cheetah’s coat is MOST useful because it ________.
A．protects the cheetah from the sun
B．helps the cheetah hide in the grass
C．keeps the cheetah cool after a long run
D．lets the cheetah move with great speed
28．Read this chart.
When:
Then:
Cheetahs use their energy very quickly.
Cheetahs stop to rest if they
do not catch their prey.
Lions and hyenas hunt cheetahs.
The chart shows some information from the article. Which can be put in the empty box?A．Cheetahs hide in the tall, brown grass.
B．People in Africa hunt lions and hyenas.
C．Wildlife experts send cheetahs to the zoo.
D．The number of cheetahs becomes smaller.
29．“Speedy and Spotty” is a good title for the article because ________.
A．it gives the names of two cheetahs
B．it catches the readers’ attention
C．it explains how cheetahs act in the wild
D．it describes two facts about cheetahs
A photographer takes a picture and a moment is recorded. Photos can be quite meaningful, as they show big changes in our lives and record exciting moments. Let’s look at four best pictures in 2019.

Women win again: On September 29—right before the 70th birthday of New China—the Chinese women’s volleyball team took home the Women’s Volleyball World Cup in Japan.

They showed the fighting spirit of the team.
The moment: Look! This marmot（土拨鼠）looks so afraid. Why? Because a fox（狐狸）is running after it! Chinese photographer Bao Yongqing took this picture on the Qinghai—Tibet Plateau（青藏高原）. With this picture, Bao won Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2019. This was the first time for a Chinese photographer to win.
Fighting the bull（公牛）: How cool! This man jumps up high to fight against a bull. It was one of many exciting scenes（场面）at a bullfighting event in Spain. Spanish people enjoy watching bullfighting and hold many bullfighting events every year.

What makes you work hard? Having your own goals (目标) is important. Good sleep helps. But having a plant on your desk can make you work harder as well.
Mike Robinson, an engineer from Canada, has a small company. One day, his wife suggested picking out some plants and putting them on his workers' desks. Robinson didn't think it was a good idea at first. What good would plants do? He thought they might even distract workers from their work. But he decided to have a try.
Robinson bought 20 plants for his workers. He asked each worker to make a small sign that said. "My name is ________" and they write their own name on the sign. Then, they put the sign plant they chose and took it back to their desk. To his surprise, Robinson found that his workers were working much harder and getting along much better than before.
It could be because his workers had "friendships" with their plants. They would take care of them and take more care with their work. Plants can help to make a good atmosphere as well.
What about you? Are there any plants in the classroom or on your desk? Can your plants change your class for the better? If you don't have one, you might want to ask your teacher about this. You and your classmates could take turns taking care of some plants in your classroom. It could be a nice way to make your classroom more lively and get to know classmates even better.
35．Why didn't Robinson agree with his wife’s advice at first?
A．Because his company was too small to do it.
B．Because he didn't think it would help.
C．Because he thought it would cost too much money.
D．Because he didn't want to take care of the plants.
36．In the writer's opinion, having plants in the classroom _________.
A．helps students fall asleep easily
B．distracts students from their study
C．helps students build good friendships
D．makes the air in the classroom fresh
37．The story of Robinson is mainly about _________.
A．how having plants makes you work harder
B．why having a goal is helpful for your work
C．how your friends help you with your work
D．why good sleep is important for your work
Experts (专家) say that students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep at night, but most Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard, but not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger (手指) with his eyes still closed, begging(请求) for one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of students — “early birds” in China, he has to get up before six every morning.
A report shows that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.
Experts have ever said that the students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study late, they are able to work well in class.
38．The 10-year-old boy begged for one more minute to sleep because _____.
A．it wasn’t time for him to get up B．he didn’t want to go to school

40．In this passage “early birds” means — persons who _____.
A．get up late B．don’t want to sleep C．get up early D．stay up late
41．The underlined (下划线的) words in the passage mean _____.
A．not go to bed until late B．stay outside C．watch TV late D．have sleep trouble
42．According to the passage, which of the following is Right?
A．Sleeping less means working hard.
B．Students don’t have enough sleep because they have lots of homework to do.
C．If you want to study better, you must work hard at night.
D．Working harder means a good high school and then a famous university.
三、阅读判断
Greenland is the largest island（岛）in the world. It’s in Europe（欧洲）. Near Greenland there is another land. It’s very small. Its name is Iceland. Do you think Greenland is green and warm? And do you think Iceland is white with ice? If you do, you are quite wrong. Few people live on Greenland. Maybe there are more people in one small town on Iceland than those in the whole of Greenland. Because most of the island is covered with（覆盖）ice, the ice on Greenland is higher than the tallest building in the world. How about Iceland? Is it colder than Greenland? No, it isn’t. Iceland has ice, but not so much ice as Greenland. Iceland has lots of hot springs. They give out hot water and steam（水蒸气）. The weather is not so cold as that on Greenland. And there are more people on Iceland than on Greenland.
根据短文内容，判断正（A）误（B）。
43．Iceland is a land of ice.
44．The weather on Greenland is colder than that on Iceland.
45．“hot springs” here means “暖春”.
46．The whole Iceland is covered with ice.
47．The people on Iceland are more than those on Greenland.
In a wheat field (麦田), there was sparrow nest (雀巢). One morning, when the mother sparrow planned to go out for something to eat, she said to her little babies, “The wheat is ripe (熟了), but we don’t know when the farmers will come. Please don’t sleep in the daytime. When I come home at night, tell me what you see and hear. The little sparrows answered, “We will do it.” The mother sang and flew away.
Later the farmer with his son came to look at the wheat. “Well, John,” the farmer said, “it is time to cut the wheat. We can visit our neighbors (邻居) this evening and ask them to join us tomorrow.”
When the mother sparrow returned, a little sparrow told her what they heard. The other three ones were so afraid that they asked their mother to move out of the field immediately (立即). “Don’t be afraid,” the mother said. “His neighbors also need to cut the wheat, so he has to wait for a long time. We will have enough time to fly away.”
根据材料内容判断正（T）误（F）。

It’s a common belief that fish can’t remember anything for longer than seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that every moment in their lives would be like seeing the world for the first time. ____73____ A new study has found that fish have much better memories than we used to think.
In the study, researchers from Mac Ewan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food.

117．例文：
Let’s Help Animals
We should help and protect animals.
As we all know, animals are our friends and we should love and protect them. But now lots of animals are in danger for many reasons. Many wild animals do not have safe places to live, because villages and farms are growing bigger and taking away their land and forests. Besides, there is not enough clean food or water.
What should we do to help them? Firstly, we should let more people know more about the animals in danger. Secondly, we should stop people cutting down the trees, then animals can have more food to eat. Finally, we should set up more nature parks to help them live in peace.
Let’s take action to protect animals.
118．例文
Dear Chris,
I’m glad to receive your letter and I am happy to know that you have interest in Beijing traditional culture. I’d like to share my experience with you.
Beijing has many places of interest, such as the Palace Museum, the Capital Museum, Lao She Teahouse and so on. Beijing also has a lot of traditional culture. The Beijing Opera is one of the most famous traditional cultures. Last week I went to Lao She Teahouse because it is famous in Beijing. There, I saw Peking Opera, which is one of the most traditional cultures in Beijing. I learned how great their performances were. I think Beijing Opera is one of the symbols of Beijing. I love Chinese traditional culture.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua
119．例文：
The Crow and the Pitcher
It was a hot day. A crow felt so thirsty that he looked for water everywhere. Finally, he found a pitcher. But there wasn’t much water in it. So his beak couldn’t reach it.
When he wanted to give up，he came up with an idea. He picked up a small stone and dropped it into the pitcher. Then he took another and dropped it in. Gradually, the water rose and he was able to drink the water.
How clever the crow was!
120．例文：
Dear Chairperson,
I would like to join the Animal Protection Society. I am Li Ping and I was born on October 20th, 2008. I am a Grade 8 student and study at No.1 Middle School now. Winter is my favourite season because I can make a snowman and have a snowball fight. I like collecting pictures of all kinds of animals and reading books about animals.
I want to join the society because I enjoy the nature and I want to learn more about the qualities of all kinds of animals. I also want to do something to protect the animals from danger. If I was lucky enough to join the society, I would take action to protect the animals. First, I will encourage more people to take part in the activities. Second, I will tell people not to kill the animals for their fur. Finally, I will advise the government to make laws and build more nature reserves for wild animals.
I am free every Sunday, so I can take part in activities the whole day. Please call me at 0523-82835988 or email me at 8344506@qq.com. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ping
