阅读理解【1】
Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time. In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的)door. When it does, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
1. Those who have big houses may often feel ________.
A. happy B. lonely C. free D. excited
2. When you fall down in a PE class, both your teacher and your classmates will ________.
A. laugh at you B. play jokes on you
C. quarrel with you D. help you up
3. What will your friends say to you when you make great progress?
A. Oh, so do I. B. Congratulations.
C. Good luck. D. It’s just so-so.
4. Which idea is NOT RIGHT according to the passage?
A. People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air.
B. You can get help from others when you make mistakes.
C. You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.
D. Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you.
5. Which of the following is this passage about?
A. Bad luck. B. Good luck. C. Happiness. D. Life.
1. B。这是一个考查细节和事实的.题目。文章中有明确的叙述：Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely…. 所问问题和原文的叙述完全一样。
2. D。这也是一个考查细节和事实的题目。在所给文章中可以找到这样地叙述：When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you. 根据这一叙述，我们可以判断：当你在体育课上摔倒时，你的老师和同学们肯定会帮你站起来的。
3. B。这一道阅读理解题同样是考查事实和细节的题目。在阅读文章里我们也能找到关于这问题的叙述：when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you.
4. A。这是一道判断题目。阅读文章里明确叙述：those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.阅读理解题的A项说，有车的人永远不愿在室外走，与文章所讲完全不同，因此是不对的。
5. C。这是一道考查文章主题的题目。这篇文章共有三段。 第一段的主题句是：Happiness is for everyone. 第二段的主题句是：In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. 第三段的主题句是：Happiness is not the same as money. 三段的主题都是围绕happiness展开的，所以正确答案是happiness。
阅读理解【2】
A couple from Miami, Bill and Simone Butler, spent sixty-six days in a life-raft(救生艇) in the seas of Central America after their boat sank.
Twenty-one days after they left Panama in their boat, Simony, they met some whales(鲸鱼). “They started to hit the side of the boat,” said Bill, “and then suddenly we heard water.” Two minutes later, the boat was sinking. They jumped into the life-raft and watched the boat go under the water.
For twenty days they had tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of water. They also had a fishing-line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water — two things which saved their lives. They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw(生的). Then the line broke. “So we had no more fish until something very strange happened. Some sharks(鲨鱼) came to feed, and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface. I caught them with my hands.”
About twenty ships passed them, but no one saw them. After fifty days at sea their life-raft was beginning to break up. Then suddenly it was all over. A fishing boat saw them and picked them up. They couldn’t stand up.
So the captain carried them onto his boat and took them to Costa Rica. Their two months at sea was over.
1. Bill and Simone were traveling _______ when they met some whales.
A. in a life-raft B. in Miami
C. in Simony D. in Panama
2. The whales hit the side of the boat, and then _______.
A. they brought in a lot of water
B. they broke the side of the boat
C. they pulled the boat
D. they went under the water
3. After their boat sank, the couple _______.
A. jumped into the life-raft
B. heard water
C. watched the boat go under water
D. stayed in the life-raft
4. During their days at sea, _______ saved their lives.
A. tins of food and bottles of water
B. a fishing-line and a machine
C. whales and sharks
D. Twenty passing ships
5. When they saw the fishing boat which later picked them up, _______.
A. they were too excited to stand up
B. they couldn’t wait to climb onto the boat
C. their life-raft was beginning to break up
D. they knew their two months at sea would be over
【答案与解析】这是一篇关于一对夫妇如何遇到海难，然后在海上的救生艇上生活了66天后获救的小故事。
1. C。在第二自然段的第1句就告诉我们they left Panama, Simony, they met some whales 说他们是在Simony 旅游时遇见Whales.
2. B。我们从第二自然段得知They started to hit the side of the boat,也就是说是the whales broke the side of the boat。
3. D。在他们的船沉没之后，the couple是一直待在船上直至获救的，而不是一直都在jumped into the life-raft。
4. B。根据第3段的第2句They also had a fishing-line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water-two things which saved their lives可知：a fishing-line 和 a machine救了他们的命。
5. D。由最后一段After fifty days at sea...我们知道：the couple是太虚弱所以不能站起来，是由船长carried them onto his boat, 而救生艇早在出事后的50天就坏掉了，而不是获救当天坏的，所以A、B、C都可以排除，D项为正确选项。

Big Ben is not the name of a man. It is the name of a huge(庞大的)clock in London. London is the capital of England. This clock has four faces. So，no matter where you stand，you can read the time on the face of Big Ben. Each face is the size of a double decker(层)bus. The hands are about four metres long. It is about the size of two people standing on top of each other. If you go to London，you may want to visit the Houses of Parliament(国会大厦). There you will find Big Ben sits at the top of the clock tower(塔)in the Houses of Parliament. Maybe you will hear it as well as see it. The huge clock makes such a loud noise. "Ding dong，ding dong，"it goes every quarter of an hour.
The clock was named after a big man. He was Sir Benjamin Hall. This man did much building work in London many years ago.
1. Big Ben is ______________.
A. a double decker bus B. a huge clock
C. the name of Ben D. a building
2. The clock strikes every _______ of an hour.
A. ten minutes B. fifteen minutes
C. thirty minutes D. forty-five minutes
3. You can read the time of Big Ben _________.
A. at the top of the clock tower
B. in the Houses of parliament
C. on the hands of the huge clock
D. on the four faces of the clock
答案及解析：
1.选B，根据第一行Big Ben is not the name of a man. It is the name of a huge(庞大的)clock in London.可以判断Big Ben是一个大钟的名字。
2.选B，根据文中"Ding dong，ding dong，" it goes every quarter of an hour. 即可得知大钟每15分钟敲一次。
3.选D，This clock has four faces. So，no matter where you stand，you can read the time on the face of Big Ben.其他三项均不符合题意。

-Whatareyoudoingforvacation
?
学习目标： 在这一单元中，我们要学习如何谈论假期的计划（Vacationplans），对将来的安排（Futureplans） 语言目标： 1.用现在进行时表示将来。 （Presentprogressiveasfuture） 2.用where,when,what,howlong提问的句子。 主要句型： 1.Whatareyoudoingforvacation? I’mspendingtimewithmyfriends. 2.Whenareyougoing? I’mgoingnextweek. 3.Howlongareyoustaying? We’restayingfortwoweeks.
Step1.NationalDayiscoming..Whatareyoudoingforvacation? NowLet’stalkaboutfutureplans. 在这里，我们用到Whatareyoudoingforvacation? 同学们可能会奇怪，“bedoing”结构不是现在进行时吗？在这一单元中，用现在进行时代表将要发生的动作，表示对未来的计划和安排，译为“我将要…”，“我打算…”。 eg.What’sshedoingforvacation?她假期要做什么？ She’sbabysittinghersister.她要看她妹妹。 这是我们进入初中以来第一次接触到将来时。这种用现在进行时表示将来动作的用法，实际上在英语中是很常见的。 Now,answermyquestion. “Whatareyoudoingforvacation?” Youmayhavelotsofanswers.Now,,andchooseoneasyouranswer. Ofcourse,.
Exercise: 1.我要去野营。 2.我打算看望我的姨妈。 3.我打算在家里看电视。 4.她要照顾她的小妹妹。 5.他打算玩篮球。 6.他们要在家里休息。 7.我要去山区徒步旅行。 8.Dave准备去骑单车。 9.Mary要去旅行观光。 10.Mike准备去钓鱼。 11.Isabella要去散散步并且租些录像来看。

Step2.We’’svacationplans. 除了用“Whatareyoudoingforvacation?”之外，我们还要学习其它几个问句，来帮助我们更好地谈论假期的计划。 1.Whenareyougoing? 你什么时候去呀？ when表示对具体的时刻来提问，所以可以用onMonday，（在星期一），onthe12th（在12号那天）nextweek（下周）、等等。 eg.I’mgoingthefirstweekinJune.我将在六月份的第一周去。 2.Howlongareyoustaying?你要在那里呆多久？ Howlong是对表示持续的一段时间来提问。因此回答时，也要用表示一段时间的时间状语，而不是具体时刻。 eg.Howlongishestaying? He’sstayingforaweek.他要呆一个礼拜。 或He’sstayinguntilSeptember.他在那里一直到九月份。 3.Whereareyougoingforvacation?你要去哪里度假？ I’mgoingtoItaly（GreeceorSpain）. 我要去意大利（希腊或西班牙）。 4.What’sitlikethere?那里怎么样？

When Vivienne Harr was 8 years old, she saw a photo she would never forget. It was a photo of two young boys carrying large, heavy rocks on their backs. These children were the same age as Vivienne. But they did not have the same freedom and opportunities (自由和机会) that she has.
In some parts of the world, children have to work hard long days and they can’t go to school. Vivienne wanted to change this. “I want all kids to be able to go to school and play,” said Vivienne, now 10. “I want them to be happy.”
To help raise money for children like the two boys in the photo, Vivienne started a lemonade stand (柠檬汽水摊位) near her home in Marin County, California. She promised to work every day for a year, rain or shine. “Sometimes, it was hard for me, when the weather was bad or I wasn’t feeling well,” said Vivienne. “But I knew that some children were having a harder time than I was.”
Vivienne’s goal (目标) was to raise $100,000 in 365 days. On Day 175, she reached her goal. But that didn’t stop Vivienne from working. With the help of her family, she started Make a Stand. The company (公司) now puts Vivienne’s lemonade into bottles (瓶子) and sells it in 130 stores around the USA. A small part of sales goes to help achieve Vivienne’s dream — to make the world a better place for all children.

Have you ever tried to write a poem (诗歌)? It’s easier than you might think. Just pick up a pen and begin practicing. Here are the steps to write a poem.
Choose your topic. (11)__________ Some people can start writing poems without really deciding what to write about; when their pen or pencil hits the paper the words just flow (畅流). Most people, on the other hand, need a topic and as a beginner, this is the best way to start. It’s easier to write a good poem about something you know well or you have experienced.
Freewrite for five minutes about your topic. Then go back and read it. Are any words or phrases ( 短语 ) especially good? (12)__________ For example, if you are describing something (i.e. a bird), write down descriptive words about it (i.e. looks, colors), and the type of story you would like to tell about (i.e. the bird fell out of a tree). If you are writing about an event in your life, write down your feelings and thoughts (想法) of that event.
Write your poem. Remember, a poem doesn’t have to rhyme (押韵). (13)__________ But it should show your feelings of the topic. And it should sound nice to you.
Have a friend read your poem aloud to you. (14)__________ If not, go back and rewrite the parts you don’t like.
(15)__________ Read it to others. Say it aloud to yourself. Put it somewhere if you want.

Dear Kevin,
I’m glad to get your letter. You told me something about your Christmas. Now let me tell you about Chinese Spring Festival. The Spring Festival is the most important festival for Chinese people. It comes in January or February. People usually clean their houses before the Spring Festival. People have a big family dinner on the eve of the Spring Festival. Young people bow to old people and wish them a happy new year. Old people give children “lucky money”. The next morning people put on their new clothes, go to see their friends and relatives and say “Happy New Year” to each other.
Yours,
