Dear Raymond，
I have a good friend.Her name is Daphne.I think she is a bit stingy and easy to get angry.When I have some nice snacks or other things，I will share them with her.But she never shares anything with me.And if I gently play jokes on her，she will shout at me.
What should I do？Can you help me？
Breda
Dear Breda，
It seems that your friend is a bit difficult to get along with.But there are two things for you to think about.
The first is that you might not know as much about your friend as you think you do.Do you know what her life is like at home？Her parents might fight with each other often.What do you know about her feelings？She might be upset or worried，and doesn't know who to turn to for help.These things can make people act in strange ways.
Then again，maybe your friend is just difficult to deal with（对待）.How important is her friendship to you？Sometimes you just have to know how to choose a good friend.It is not an easy thing to do.But if her friendship is causing more harm（伤害） than good，then it might be something for you to think about.
Raymond
（1）What does the underlined word"stingy"mean in Chinese？ 　 　
A.慷慨的
B.小气的
C.多疑的
D.忙碌的
（2）In Raymond's letter，what did he ask Breda to do？ 　 　
A.Tell Daphne about her feelings.
B.Make friends with Daphne's parents.
C.Stop being friends with Daphne right now.
D.Try to find out why Daphne acts like that.
（3）What can Breda learn from Raymond's letter？ 　 　
A.Daphne is important.
B.How to deal with friends.
C.Friendship hurts people.
D.Choosing friends is difficult.
（4）In which part of a newspaper will you see the letters？ 　 　
A.Travelling
B.Animal World
C.Life of Students
D.Sports Today
27．（4分）DIT，Which means Do It Yourself，is quite popular in UK.Los of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things.TV programs show people how to DIY.
English people like DIY.There is a saying in UK﹣"An Englishman's home is his castle".Huge numbers of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful"castles".If there is anything that needs fixing around their houses，such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower，they will do the jobs themselves.They share DIY experiences with their friends.More and more people have discovered the joy of DIY.Sometimes people also DIY for saving money.With the economic downs turn at present，many people can not afford to buy a bigger house.They are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money.It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.
DIY can be difficult.There is a huge market for DIY furniture which people need to put together themselves with a few basic tools.However，people often find it not easy to build a piece of fumiture because they can't understand the instructions.Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear，but the fumiture itself is difficult to build.One thing is for sure，though most DIY projects are started with the best intentions，many of them may not get finished.DIY can also be dangerous.For example，anything electrical should be done by a professional worker.Unluckily，many people don't care about this warning and put themselves in danger.It is reported that in just one year over 230，000 people were hurt while doing DIY in UK，including 41，000 who fell off ladders.
Therefore，DIY can bring us fun and help us save money，but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew.Maybe factories should make products that are easier and safer for us to DIY.
（1）How do many English people spend their holidays according to the passage？ 　 　
A.Making their homes beautiful.
B.Visiting their friends.
C.Travelling all over the world.
D.Macking a lot of money.
（2）Why do English people like DIY？ 　 　
A.Many stores sell DIY things.
B.DIY can bring them fun.
C.TV programs teach them to DIY.
D.All DIY projects are easy.
（3）What can we learn from the passage？ 　 　
A.DIY is a waste of money.
B.It is always difficult to DIY.
C.We should be careful while doing DIY.
D.It's very safe for us to DIY.
（4）In the passage，" we bite off more than we can chew " probably means 　 　.
A.we can eat everything we like

B．Millie took a tour on foot yesterday.

故选：D。
10．（1分）—The 2 0 t h C PC National Congress has just ended.Do you know what CPC is？
— Of course.It____________Communist Party of China.（　　）
A．looks for B．stands for C．waits for D．asks for
【解答】look for寻找；stand for代表；wait for等待；ask for要求。根据句意可知，要填"代表"，其它选项语意不通。
故选：B。
11．（1分）﹣﹣﹣What do you think of the film？
﹣﹣﹣The story ____is good，but I felt ____because of its length﹣﹣﹣over three hours．（　　）
A．itself； boring B．myself； boring
C．itself； bored D．themselves； excited
【解答】答案：C．
根据The story ____is good，可知这里的意思是故事本身很好，在这里强调自己，用反身代词，story是个物，而且是单数，所以用itself；boring 是形容词，bored也是形容词，不同之处是bored是指使人感到厌烦的，boring是指事情本身无趣的，当形容人时用bored，形容事物时用boring．这里主语是I，是人，所以用bored．故选C．
12．（1分）China's mobile network speed（移动网络速率） comes fourth______ 139 countries and areas.（　　）
A．among B．between C．on D．from
【解答】考查介词的用法。根据句意，在……之中，超过两个以上用among。B两者之间，C在……之上，D来自。
故选：A。
13．（1分）—____________do you borrow books from your school library in a month？
—At least three.（　　）
A．How long B．How soon
C．How many D．How many times
【解答】How long多长，是对长度或一段时间的提问；How soon多快、多久以后，其后用in加一段时间来回答；How many多少，是对可数名词复数进行的提问；How many times多少次，对次数进行提问。根据答语"At least three."至少三次。可知上文是对次数进行提问，因此疑问词用How many times。
故选：D。
14．（1分）﹣ What's your best friend like？
﹣ ____________（　　）
A．He wants to be a doctor.
B．He likes to go travelling.
C．He is good at DIY.
D．He is shy but helpful.
【解答】He wants to be a doctor他想当一名医生；He likes to go travelling他喜欢旅行；He is good at DIY他擅长独立做事情；He is shy but helpful他很害羞，但也很乐于助人。根据前句句意"你最好的朋友什么样？"可知，要回答"他很害羞，但也很乐于助人"，其它选项语意不通。
故选：D。
15．（1分）— I think Andy is sure to be the No .l in the English speech contest.
—I don't think so.Her spoken English is____________Tina's.（　　）
A．better than B．as well as
C．not so well as D．not so good as
【解答】根据题干，可知是指：﹣我认为安迪一定会在英语演讲比赛中获得第一名。﹣我不这么认为。她的英语口语不如蒂娜的好。考查原级比较not as（so）...as...不如……，是原级比较，此处是形容词good修饰名词English。
故选：D。
16．（1分）With no shared bikes around，Simon decided to go to Linggu Temple on foot____________.（　　）
A．rather B．rather than
C．instead D．instead of
【解答】rather"相当"；rather than do sth"而不是做某事"；instead"相反"；instead of"而不是"，后跟名词、代词和动名词形式。根据题干，可知句意"由于周围没有共享单车，相反西蒙决定步行前往灵谷寺"，分析后面的句子，可知句子完整，这里用副词instead。
故选：C。
17．（1分）The teacher advised students____________to music when doing homework because it would distract
（分散） their attention.（　　）
A．listen B．to listen
C．not to listen D．to not listen
【解答】advise sb. （not） to do sth.建议某人（不）做某事；由题干原因"because it would distract（分散） their attention"（因为这会分散他们的注意力）可知，是建议不听音乐，C项符合题意。
故选C。
18．（1分）一 Judy，____________the pieces of that broken glass!Let me sweep them into the rubbish bin first.
—OK，I will.Thank you.（　　）

Dear Raymond，
I have a good friend.Her name is Daphne.I think she is a bit stingy and easy to get angry.When I have some nice snacks or other things，I will share them with her.But she never shares anything with me.And if I gently play jokes on her，she will shout at me.
What should I do？Can you help me？
Breda
Dear Breda，
It seems that your friend is a bit difficult to get along with.But there are two things for you to think about.
The first is that you might not know as much about your friend as you think you do.Do you know what her life is like at home？Her parents might fight with each other often.What do you know about her feelings？She might be upset or worried，and doesn't know who to turn to for help.These things can make people act in strange ways.
Then again，maybe your friend is just difficult to deal with（对待）.How important is her friendship to you？Sometimes you just have to know how to choose a good friend.It is not an easy thing to do.But if her friendship is causing more harm（伤害） than good，then it might be something for you to think about.
Raymond
（1）What does the underlined word"stingy"mean in Chinese？ 　B　
A.慷慨的
B.小气的
C.多疑的
D.忙碌的
（2）In Raymond's letter，what did he ask Breda to do？ 　D　
A.Tell Daphne about her feelings.
B.Make friends with Daphne's parents.
C.Stop being friends with Daphne right now.
D.Try to find out why Daphne acts like that.
（3）What can Breda learn from Raymond's letter？ 　B　
A.Daphne is important.
B.How to deal with friends.
C.Friendship hurts people.
D.Choosing friends is difficult.
（4）In which part of a newspaper will you see the letters？ 　C　
A.Travelling
B.Animal World
C.Life of Students
D.Sports Today
【解答】（1）词义猜测题。根据原文I think she is a bit stingy and easy to get angry.When I have some nice snacks or other things，I will share them with her.But she never shares anything with me.（我觉得她有点小气，容易生气。当我有一些好吃的零食或其他东西时，我会和她分享。但她从不跟我分享任何事。）可知是"小气的"。故选B。
（2）细节推理题。根据原文Do you know what her life is like at home？Her parents might fight with each other often.What do you know about her feelings.（你知道她在家里的生活吗？她的父母可能经常吵架。你对她的感受了解多少？）可知是弄清楚为什么会如此表现。故选D。
（3）细节理解题。根据原文But if her friendship is causing more harm than good，then it might be something for you to think about.（但如果她和她的友谊弊大于利，那你就该好好想想了。）可知应该知道如何去选择朋友。故选B。
（4）文章出处题。通读全文可知本文讲述了Breda向Raymond求助她在交友过程中遇到的烦心事，Raymond给她提出了一些建议。因此出自于学习生活。故选C。
27．（4分）DIT，Which means Do It Yourself，is quite popular in UK.Los of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things.TV programs show people how to DIY.
English people like DIY.There is a saying in UK﹣"An Englishman's home is his castle".Huge numbers of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful"castles".If there is anything that needs fixing around their houses，such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower，they will do the jobs themselves.They share DIY experiences with their friends.More and more people have discovered the joy of DIY.Sometimes people also DIY for saving money.With the economic downs turn at present，many people can not afford to buy a bigger house.They are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money.It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.
DIY can be difficult.There is a huge market for DIY furniture which people need to put together themselves with a few basic tools.However，people often find it not easy to build a piece of fumiture because they can't understand the instructions.Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear，but the fumiture itself is difficult to build.One thing is for sure，though most DIY projects are started with the best intentions，many of them may not get finished.DIY can also be dangerous.For example，anything electrical should be done by a professional worker.Unluckily，many people don't care about this warning and put themselves in danger.It is reported that in just one year over 230，000 people were hurt while doing DIY in UK，including 41，000 who fell off ladders.
Therefore，DIY can bring us fun and help us save money，but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew.Maybe factories should make products that are easier and safer for us to DIY.
（1）How do many English people spend their holidays according to the passage？ 　A　
A.Making their homes beautiful.

A.Many stores sell DIY things.

B.It is always difficult to DIY.
C.We should be careful while doing DIY.
D.It's very safe for us to DIY.
（4）In the passage，" we bite off more than we can chew " probably means 　C　.
A.we can eat everything we like
B.we should do something difficult
C.we do something that is too difficult
D.we eat too much food that is not safe
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据Huge numbers of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful"castles".（很多英国人在假日里把他们的家打造成美丽的"城堡"。）可知英国人喜欢在假日里把他们的家变美丽。故选A。
（2）细节理解题。根据More and more people have discovered the joy of DIY.（越来越多人发现了DIY的乐趣。）可知英国人喜欢DIY是因为它给他们带来乐趣。故选B。
（3）推理判断题。根据DIY can also be dangerous（DIY可能也是危险的），可知自己动手制作的时候应该小心谨慎。故选C。
（4）句意猜测题。根据DIY can bring us fun and help us save money，but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be （DIY能带给我们乐趣帮我们省钱，但它并不总是想象的那么容易），可推测we bite off more than we can chew （贪多嚼不烂）的含义是我们做的事情太难，超过了我们的能力范围。故选C。
28．（4分）Farmer John and Farmer Bob were neighbors.For more than 30 years，they were getting along very well.
Then their good relationship（关系）broke.It began with a small thing，then bitter（仇恨的）words，and then weeks of silence.One morning Farmer John woke up to find a stream（小溪） between the two farms. "It must be Bob，" John thought.
Then one day there was a knock on John's door.He opened it to find a carpenter（木匠） standing at the doorway."
I'm looking for a few days' work，" the carpenter said."
I do have a job for you，" John said. "Look across the stream at that farm.That's my neighbour Bob.He dug（挖） a stream between the two farms.I want you to build a fence（栅栏）an 8﹣foot fence.I don't want to see his place or his face any more.I don't have such a neighbour!"
The carpenter said， "I think I know what to do，sir，and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you."
About sunset when the farmer returned，the carpenter had just finished his job.The farmer's eyes opened wide.There was no fence there at all!
It was a bridge!And the neighbour，Bob，was coming across，with his hand outstretched（伸出）."Hi，John! You're quite a guy to build this bridge!"
Then they met in the middle，taking each other's hands. "I'm terribly sorry for what I have said and done.We should be good to each other，" said Farmer Bob.
Then they tuned to see the carpenter，who was ready to go. "No，wait!Stay a few days.I have a lot of other jobs for you，" said Farmer John. "I'd love to stay，" the carpenter said， "but I have more bridges to build."
（1）Why did farmer John think that Farmer Bob dug the stream？ 　A　
A.Because they were neighbors.
B.Because their good relationship broke.
C.Because they were getting along very well.
D.Because they never had bitter words with each other.
（2）Farmer John asked the carpenter to build a fence because 　C　.
A.he wanted to protect his farm
B.he didn't want to do it himself

D.John should build the bridge earlier.
（4）What is the best title for the passage？ 　D　
A.What a Big Fence!
B.A Strong Bridge.
C.Three Kind Men.
D.A Fence or a Bridge？
【解答】（1）推理判断题。根据文中：Then their good relationship（关系）broke.It began with a small thing，then bitter（仇恨的）words，and then weeks of silence.（然后他们的良好关系破裂了。开始是一件小事，然后是尖刻的话语，然后是数周的沉默。）可知，是因为他们的关系破裂了，所以约翰就认为是鲍勃干的，故选A。
（2）细节理解题。根据文中：I don't want to see his place or his face any more.I don't have such a neighbour!（我不想再看到他的地方和他的脸。我没有这样的邻居！）可知，约翰要求木匠建造一道篱笆，因为 他不想见鲍勃，故选C。
（3）句意推测题。根据文中：Then they met in the middle，taking each other's hands. "I'm terribly sorry for what I have said and done.We should be good to each other，" said Farmer Bob.（然后他们在中间相遇，牵着对方的手。"我对我所说的和所做的感到非常抱歉。我们应该善待彼此，"农民鲍勃说。）可知，鲍勃认为约翰建造这座桥很了不起，故选B。
（4）最佳标题题。本文主要讲述约翰和鲍勃本来是好朋友，但是他们闹僵了。约翰想让木匠在鲍勃搞分裂挖的河道那里建一个栅栏，因为他再也不想见到鲍勃。木匠却巧妙地在河道之上搭建了一座桥梁，使得他们重建友谊的故事。所以标题是篱笆还是桥？最贴切，故选D。
