二、完形填空。（10分）

 As we know, it is important for us to learn English. But do you think it is difficult to learn English? And  1  do you learn English? This week we asked students at Huamgmei Shiyan Middle School about the best ways  2  more English.  3 what Li Mei said.
 Last year my English class was difficult. First of all,  it wasn't  4  for me to understand the teacher when she talked. To begin with, she spoke  5  quickly for me to understand every word. Later on, I know that it doesn't  6  if you don't understand every word. I was also afraid  7  in class, because I thought my classmates might  8  me. I couldn't always make a complete sentence,   9 . Then I started to watch English-language TV. It helped  10 . I think that doing lots of listening practice is one of the secrets of  11   a good language learner. Another thing that I found very difficult was English  12  . So I decided  13  a lot of grammar notes in every class. Then I started to write my own original sentences using the grammar I was learning. It's amazing  14  this helped. Now I am enjoying learning English and I got  15  A this term. My teacher is very impressed.

Summer holiday is coming. Some kids have already made great plans for the summer.
 Travel for fun
 Many teens say they will travel with their parents during the holidays. Fan Zhe from Yantai will go to Shanghai with his parents. "I will need a break, as I will be really tired of tests by that time," said Fan. Gao Yuan will spend his holiday far away from his parents. From August 10, the 15-year-old boy and 20 other students at Shanghai Weiyu Junior Middle School will spend 18 days in Australia.
 Summer studies
 Some teens are spending the summer studying. Xing Wei from Tianjin and Zhou Xiaolin from Beijing have to go to math, physics and English classes. Their parents think this will help their future studies. But Xiaolin is unhappy, "I will spend my holiday playing with numbers. How boring!"
       Plenty of activities
 Li Yuanchen from Hefei will be doing all the usual things. "I'll be travelling a little bit, partying with friends and reading books," he said. Shanghai's Ma Jiameng said she will spend a lot of time with friends, doing different things. "We will do some drawing and go swimming. I will also write short stories," Jiameng said.

六、任务型阅读理解（10分）

Over the last few centuries, there have been many changes in our lives.

To start with, people were not able to travel such a long distance in such a short time in the past. Planes were not very popular at that time because they used to be a very expensive way to travel. Nowadays, we have fast, comfortable cars, and more and more people can travel by plane.

Secondly, in the past, people had to work much harder because they did not have the tools that we have today. Today, most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers and machines.

Thirdly, in the past, the living conditions were not as good as they are now. There were no bathrooms or running water in many houses, and people could not buy lots of things like fridges, TV sets or washing machines. Now, most families have several of these things.

Finally, nowadays, more and more people have the chance to get a good education. In the past, there were fewer schools and the quality of education was much poorer. Also, it is much easier to find the educational materials that you need on the Internet now.

The scientific and technological development in the world is amazing. Life now is much faster and busier than it used to be. And we are still creating new things to make our lives better and easier.
