Lucy ran out of the empty room into the hall and found the other three. “It’s all right,” she repeated, “I’ve come back.”
“Poor old Lu, where have you been hiding?” said Peter.
“I’ve been away for hours since I went into the wardrobe (衣橱).” Lucy replied. “Don’t be silly, Lucy,” said Susan. “We’ve just come out of that room a moment ago, and you were not there then.”
“She’s not being silly at all,” said Peter, “She’s just making up a story for fun.” “No, Peter. I’m not,” she said. “It’s a magic wardrobe. There’s a forest inside it, and it’s snowing, and it’s called Narnia. Come and see.”
The others did not know what to think, but all went back with Lucy into the room because of her excitement. She opened the door of the wardrobe and cried, “Now please see for yourselves.”
“It’s just a usual wardrobe. Look! There’s the back of it,” said Susan.
Then everyone looked in and what they all saw was a perfectly usual wardrobe. There was no forest and no snow, only the back of the wardrobe with hooks (挂钩) on it.
“A good lie, Lu.” Peter said, “you have really taken us in, I must agree. We believed you.” Lucy grew very red in the face and tried to say something, though (虽然) she hardly knew what she was trying to say. The others who thought she was lying made her very unhappy. And so things went on until the next wet day.
They decided to play hide-and-seek (捉迷藏) because there was still no sign of a break in the weather. Susan was “It” and as soon as the others ran away, she began to look for them. Just then, Lucy went to the room again where the wardrobe was. She believed that she was right…
63. Where is the extract (节选) probably from?
A. The newspaper. B. A novel. C. A poem. D. A play.
64. When Peter said Lucy was making up a story, he thought Lucy was ________.
A. honest B. pretty C. magical D. clever
65. The underlined sentence Susan was “It” means ________.
A. Susan looked for a place to hide in the game B. Susan watched a game of hide-and-seek
C. Susan decided the winning person in the game D. Susan looked for the hidden kids in the game
66. Why did Lucy go to the wardrobe again in the last paragraph?
A. To relax herself. B. To make Susan afraid.
C. To show she was right. D. To stay away from others.

We all know the sun is important. It provides life for plants, animals, and people here on Earth. But how does the sun do that? It’s the sun’s energy that makes life on our planet possible.
What is solar energy?
Energy from the sun is called solar energy. It comes in the form of light or heat (热量). Solar energy is what makes you feel hot when you sit in the sunlight. People have used solar energy for thousands of years. Houses are built with windows, so sunlight can get inside and it can also provide heat. The sun’s energy can also be used to heat water and even food. If you have a magnifying glass(放大镜), your parents have probably warned you not to leave it in the sun. Solar energy can make the magnifying glass burn things under it.
How can electricity be produced by the sun’s light?
We can also turn the sun’s light into electricity(电能). This is done with solar panels. Using this technology, we can run a calculator(计算器) and even power cars. But what happens when clouds stop the solar panels from working? Does this mean that solar energy can only be used on bright sunny days? Solar panels can store(储存) electricity when the sun is shining. This stored electricity can be used at night or on cloudy days.
Is solar energy expensive?
Solar energy is not as expensive as it used to be. Since the sun gives off more energy than people have used, imagine what we could do if we use the sun’s energy to power our earth.
67. What is the writer trying to do in this text?
A. To show the form of the sun. B. To tell the importance of the sun.
C. To find out the secrets of the sun. D. To introduce the energy of the sun.
68. What is true about solar energy?
A. Solar energy can provide heat for us. B. Solar energy can burn things easily.
C. Solar energy is as expensive as before. D. Solar energy can help build houses.
69. What are solar panels used for?
A. To get heat energy from the sun. B. To get light energy from the sun.
C. To get light and heat from the sun. D. To get electricity from the sun.
70. Which of the following is the writer’s opinion?
A. People may drive cars with solar panels in the future.
B. People used the sun’s energy thousands of years ago.
C. A magnifying glass can burn things with solar energy.
D. Solar energy will take the place of other forms of energy.

The first one I want to talk about is Liu Ming. He is a volunteer for the Special Olympic World Summer Games. In the beginning, he didn’t know what to e 2 , but now he thinks it was the most amazing 3 1 (经历) of his life. He finds it meaningful to help those special athletes a 4 their dreams.

From Mr. Chen’s words, we come to know that great changes 8 in Sunshine Town. Compared with(和……对比) what it was like before, the river now is much 9 and life is better in some ways. However, most of Mr. Chen’s old friends have already moved away. It is really 10 (cannot be done or cannot happen) for them to see each other as often as before.
Besides these people, an extract from a novel called Gulliver in Lilliput impressed me a lot. The story 11 after the ship crashed 12 (撞) the rocks. Gulliver swam as far as he could. By the time he felt the land under his feet, he was 13 (疲惫的) out and went to sleep.

B. 请认真阅读下面的短文，并根据所给首字母提示，写出合适的英语单词，使短文通顺。

What is social media? It means all kinds of Internet applications, such as QQ, blogs, WeChat and so on. Social media plays an important role in our daily life. By using them, users can s 16 things like photos, videos and posts with others.
Social media is certainly an interesting place to learn o 17 opinions on the Internet. But when you are reading so many opinions online, it’s q 18 possible for you to see some opinions that you strongly disagree with. In fact, you might feel like you should reply to these opinions at once. You might do some research, f 19 some facts and reply to what are written written. You finish writing out your reply, click “post” and win the argument！
Most people don’t like it when other people disagree with their i 20 , especially online strangers. You can h 21 change their opinions just because you argued with them. In fact, it’s possible to make them feel more confident that they’re correct.
And the thing is, when you get in these kinds of fights online, it s 22 influences(影响) you. You might not know it at first, b 23 the argument that you take part in can easily make you feel u 24 . If you argue often, you start to enjoy arguing and then end up doing it even more. It’s a dangerous cycle.
I guess the best thing to do is to tell y 25 that most arguments are meaningless. There are much better and more interesting things to do, whether online or in real life.

First of all, dogs may get out of the door and never come back, but cats are sure to come back home at night. (34) Cats will remember how much they like you even after a long time.
(35) , cats have interesting personalities. Some just want to lie there all the afternoon and do nothing. My Kitty is just like that. Sometimes, when she is enjoying the sunshine, if I throw a ball to her, she won’t stand up or try to get it. She won’t even open her eyes to look at me. (36)Others, like my Lily, like running and jumping around the house without stopping all the time. Some cats enjoy being with people, and others don’t want to do the same. I am lucky to have my two cats both loving to be with me.
Third, do you remember Tom and Jerry? Your cat may have its own Jerry to run after. If you are also afraid of other small things like bugs, and (39)you don’t want them to run around your house, don’t worry. Just leave them to your cat because it can help you get them out of your house.
What’s more, cats have big and watery eyes, round faces, long and soft fur, small and cute paws…You all know how lovely cats are.
That’s why I become a cat person. Do you want to keep a cat as a pet?

One possible version：
Our School Labour Week
Labour education is really important. In order to encourage students to love labour and help others, we had a very special School Labour Week last Friday.
Our class were divided into 5 groups to do different jobs. Some cleaned the windows, some watered the plants, and others helped our teachers mop the floor. At home, we did the dishes and cleaned the table after dinner. We also gave our neighbours a helping hand, such as carrying bags for the elderly.
Being volunteers not only makes us feel proud, but also helps develop the life skills. As middle school students, it is meaningful for us to take part in such activities.
