三、阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
Americans have used colours to create many expressions they use every day. We say we’re “in the pink”when we are in good health. It is easy to understand how this expression was born. When my face has a nice fresh pink colour, it is a sign which shows my health is good. The colour green is natural for trees. It is an unnatural colour for humans. When someone doesn’t feel well or someone is angry, we use this word. For example, when someone doesn’t have what someone else has, we say he is “green with envy”. Some people are “green with envy” because someone else has more dollars, or “greenbacks”. Dollars are called “greenbacks” because that’s the colour of the back side of the money. Blue is a cool colour. The traditional blues music of American blacks is the opposite of red hot music. It is slow, sad and soulful（深情的）. To be blue, of course, is to be sad. The colour black is often used in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a “black day”. A “black sheep” is the member of a family or a group who has done something bad which brings embarrassment or shame to their family or group. If someone meets a “black cat”, something unlucky might happen to him. Not all the “black” expressions have bad meanings. A company “in the red” is losing money. If someone tells you to put something “in black and white”, they want you to write it down.
31. After reading the passage, we can infer （推测）if someone “looks green”, he _______.
A. looks well B. may need a doctor
C. is healthy D. is“in the pink”
32. Which word describes the red hot music?
A. Fast. B. Sad.
C. Slow. D. Soulful.
33. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. A company surely likes to be “in the red”.
B. All the colour expressions in the passage come from British English.
C. Not all the “black” expressions have bad meanings.
D. An American dollar note is called “a greenback” because it has trees on the back side.
答案

B
Mary didn’t understand such sentences as “She is blue today.”, “You are yellow.”, “He has a green thumb.”, “He has told a white lie.” and so on. And she went to the teacher Mrs James for help.
Mary: Mrs James, there is a colour in each of the sentences. What do they mean?
Mrs James: In everyday English, Mary, blue sometimes means sadness, and yellow means fear. A person with a green thumb grows plants well and a white lie is not a bad one.
Mary: I’m afraid I don’t understand them all. Would you give me an example for “a white lie”?
Mrs James: Certainly. Now I just give you some bread. In fact you don’t like it, but you don’t want to let me know it. Instead you say, “No, thanks. I’m not hungry.” That’s a white lie.
Mary: It sounds very interesting. Thanks very much.
Mrs James: You are welcome. Colours are meaningful. I think you will meet more sentences like these in the future. Please come to me if you have any questions.
34. I don’t have a green thumb, so all my plants ________.
A. die off B. grow well
C. look nice D. are good

答案
34—37
C
Yellow is the colour of sunshine. It has something to do with joy, happiness, and energy. Light yellow is also associated with (和……有关) freshness. Yellow gives us warm feelings, encourages cheerfulness and mental activity, and creates muscle ( 体力) energy. Yellow is often associated with food. Bright yellow can get more attention than other colours. That’s why taxis are painted this color. When overused, yellow may make people disturbed (不安的); it is known that babies cry more in yellow rooms. Yellow is seen before other colours when it is put against black; this way is often used to give a warning. In some big events, yellow represents honor ( 荣誉) and loyalty. Also, the meaning of yellow is connected with weakness.
People use yellow to call up pleasant, cheerful feelings. They can choose yellow to help sell children’s products ( 产品). Yellow is very useful for catching attention, so people can use it to highlight the most important part of a design. However, men usually think of yellow as a very joyful, childish colour, so it is not recommended to use yellow when people are selling famous, expensive products to men. Nobody will buy a yellow business suit. Yellow is an unstable (不稳定的) colour, so try not to use yellow if you want to suggest stability (稳定) and safety. Dark yellow represents warnings, sickness and jealousy (忌妒).
38. Which of the following is Not True?
A. Yellow can make people cheerful and energetic.
B. Too much yellow is not good for babies’ growth.
C. Yellow represents both good things and bad things.
D. A yellow room may help keep babies calm and quiet.
39. The underlined word “highlight” probably means ________ in English.
A. stress B. weaken
C. reduce D. praise
40. We can choose yellow ________.
A. to let the baby sleep well
B. to help sell children’s products
C. to advise stability and safety
D. to sell famous expensive products to men
41. From the passage, we know ________.
A. men are interested in expensive yellow things including yellow clothes
B. yellow can be used to describe a brave man
C. yellow catches a person’s attention easily
D. it’s always wise not to buy yellow products
答案
38—41
D
There are many colours in nature. But do you know if a colour has weight? I think you’ll say“no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment.
First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier. Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colours have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every colour has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same. The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.
The scientist told us that colours also have smell. Can you smell the colour? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every colour stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength（波长）. It reaches our brain through sense organs（感觉器官）.
According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colours they like, and refuse the colours they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colours you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpaper and furniture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colours.
42. The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us ________.
A. a red box is lighter than a white one
B. a colour has weight in one’s mind
C. white paper is heavier than red paper
D. you can know the weight of a colour by holding it
43. Why did the scientist say colours have smell?
A. Because people can sense the light from colours.
B. Because we can smell colours with our nose.
C. Because every colour has its own sweet smell.
D. Because every colour can give off light of the same length.
44. If a person walks from a blue room to a red room, his body temperature will ________.
A. rise B. fall
C. stay the same D. change now and then
45. This passage is probably a ________.
A. book review B. fiction novel
C. fairy tale D. science report
答案
42—45

六、范文：
Dear Mr White,
I’m writing to recommend Alex as our new life secretary in our class. I think he has many strong qualities for this position.
He is very clever. He always comes up with good ideas and he has won several maths and physics competitions.
He has a beautiful garden with all kinds of nice flowers in his home. He often gets high praise from others. He is organized. He plants green flowers, because green represents energy and nature. He also plants some white flowers in order to help him calm down. As he knows that yellow represents wisdom and success, he would like to enjoy the yellow flowers in his garden when he has difficulty in learning.
So I think Alex is the most suitable person to be our secretary. I hope that you can agree with me.
Yours sincerely,
Jim

三、阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
Americans have used colours to create many expressions they use every day. We say we’re “in the pink”when we are in good health. It is easy to understand how this expression was born. When my face has a nice fresh pink colour, it is a sign which shows my health is good. The colour green is natural for trees. It is an unnatural colour for humans. When someone doesn’t feel well or someone is angry, we use this word. For example, when someone doesn’t have what someone else has, we say he is “green with envy”. Some people are “green with envy” because someone else has more dollars, or “greenbacks”. Dollars are called “greenbacks” because that’s the colour of the back side of the money. Blue is a cool colour. The traditional blues music of American blacks is the opposite of red hot music. It is slow, sad and soulful（深情的）. To be blue, of course, is to be sad. The colour black is often used in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a “black day”. A “black sheep” is the member of a family or a group who has done something bad which brings embarrassment or shame to their family or group. If someone meets a “black cat”, something unlucky might happen to him. Not all the “black” expressions have bad meanings. A company “in the red” is losing money. If someone tells you to put something “in black and white”, they want you to write it down.
31. After reading the passage, we can infer （推测）if someone “looks green”, he _______.
A. looks well B. may need a doctor
C. is healthy D. is“in the pink”
32. Which word describes the red hot music?
A. Fast. B. Sad.
C. Slow. D. Soulful.
33. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. A company surely likes to be “in the red”.
B. All the colour expressions in the passage come from British English.
C. Not all the “black” expressions have bad meanings.
D. An American dollar note is called “a greenback” because it has trees on the back side.

B
Mary didn’t understand such sentences as “She is blue today.”, “You are yellow.”, “He has a green thumb.”, “He has told a white lie.” and so on. And she went to the teacher Mrs James for help.
Mary: Mrs James, there is a colour in each of the sentences. What do they mean?
Mrs James: In everyday English, Mary, blue sometimes means sadness, and yellow means fear. A person with a green thumb grows plants well and a white lie is not a bad one.
Mary: I’m afraid I don’t understand them all. Would you give me an example for “a white lie”?
Mrs James: Certainly. Now I just give you some bread. In fact you don’t like it, but you don’t want to let me know it. Instead you say, “No, thanks. I’m not hungry.” That’s a white lie.
Mary: It sounds very interesting. Thanks very much.
Mrs James: You are welcome. Colours are meaningful. I think you will meet more sentences like these in the future. Please come to me if you have any questions.
34. I don’t have a green thumb, so all my plants ________.
A. die off B. grow well
C. look nice D. are good
35. David is yellow and he is ________ to climb the tall tree!

答案
34—37
C
Yellow is the colour of sunshine. It has something to do with joy, happiness, and energy. Light yellow is also associated with (和……有关) freshness. Yellow gives us warm feelings, encourages cheerfulness and mental activity, and creates muscle ( 体力) energy. Yellow is often associated with food. Bright yellow can get more attention than other colours. That’s why taxis are painted this color. When overused, yellow may make people disturbed (不安的); it is known that babies cry more in yellow rooms. Yellow is seen before other colours when it is put against black; this way is often used to give a warning. In some big events, yellow represents honor ( 荣誉) and loyalty. Also, the meaning of yellow is connected with weakness.
People use yellow to call up pleasant, cheerful feelings. They can choose yellow to help sell children’s products ( 产品). Yellow is very useful for catching attention, so people can use it to highlight the most important part of a design. However, men usually think of yellow as a very joyful, childish colour, so it is not recommended to use yellow when people are selling famous, expensive products to men. Nobody will buy a yellow business suit. Yellow is an unstable (不稳定的) colour, so try not to use yellow if you want to suggest stability (稳定) and safety. Dark yellow represents warnings, sickness and jealousy (忌妒).
38. Which of the following is Not True?
A. Yellow can make people cheerful and energetic.
B. Too much yellow is not good for babies’ growth.
C. Yellow represents both good things and bad things.
D. A yellow room may help keep babies calm and quiet.
39. The underlined word “highlight” probably means ________ in English.
A. stress B. weaken
C. reduce D. praise
40. We can choose yellow ________.
A. to let the baby sleep well
B. to help sell children’s products
C. to advise stability and safety
D. to sell famous expensive products to men
41. From the passage, we know ________.
A. men are interested in expensive yellow things including yellow clothes
B. yellow can be used to describe a brave man
C. yellow catches a person’s attention easily
D. it’s always wise not to buy yellow products
答案
38—41
D
There are many colours in nature. But do you know if a colour has weight? I think you’ll say“no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment.
First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier. Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colours have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every colour has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same. The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.
The scientist told us that colours also have smell. Can you smell the colour? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every colour stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength（波长）. It reaches our brain through sense organs（感觉器官）.
According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colours they like, and refuse the colours they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colours you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpaper and furniture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colours.
42. The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us ________.
A. a red box is lighter than a white one
B. a colour has weight in one’s mind
C. white paper is heavier than red paper
D. you can know the weight of a colour by holding it
43. Why did the scientist say colours have smell?
A. Because people can sense the light from colours.
B. Because we can smell colours with our nose.
C. Because every colour has its own sweet smell.
D. Because every colour can give off light of the same length.
44. If a person walks from a blue room to a red room, his body temperature will ________.
A. rise B. fall
C. stay the same D. change now and then
45. This passage is probably a ________.
A. book review B. fiction novel
C. fairy tale D. science report

42—45

六、范文：
Dear Mr White,
I’m writing to recommend Alex as our new life secretary in our class. I think he has many strong qualities for this position.
He is very clever. He always comes up with good ideas and he has won several maths and physics competitions.
He has a beautiful garden with all kinds of nice flowers in his home. He often gets high praise from others. He is organized. He plants green flowers, because green represents energy and nature. He also plants some white flowers in order to help him calm down. As he knows that yellow represents wisdom and success, he would like to enjoy the yellow flowers in his garden when he has difficulty in learning.
So I think Alex is the most suitable person to be our secretary. I hope that you can agree with me.
Yours sincerely,
Jim
作文点评：这篇习作运用了“四步法”（即：Alex 的性格特征 ——绿色的含义 ——白色的含义 ——黄色的含义）的写作方法，使文章层次分明、行文流畅。第一段开门见山，点出写信的目的；第四段与第一段前后照应，首尾呼应。
添彩点：文中的出彩点有many strong qualities, come up with, get high praise from, be organized, in order to, calm down, have difficulty in, agree with等，这些词汇的合理使用，使文章词语优美、详略得当，同时也展示了作者运用语言的能力。
