A
In the past, all letters were sent by train or by ship. Now most letters still go by ship or by train, but some are sent by air. You send a letter by air so that your friend may receive it sooner. A letter takes about twelve days to go from England to India by train and by ship. A letter can get to India by air in five days now, but soon the time may be made shorter. At first, people were afraid to send letters by air. They thought that the plane might fall and their friends might not receive the letters. So they sent two letters, one by air and the other by train or ship. They wanted to make sure that the letter would be received. Planes are now almost as safe and sure as trains or ships. More and more letters are sent by air.

Victor’s Project
As part of my history project on transport, I did some short interviews with people in my neighborhood. My first interview was with my friend Susan’s grandmother, Mrs. Sanderson.
Question 1
How did you get to school when you were young?
I walked to school with my friends, except for Fridays when we had to carry all of our things for school sports. Then we caught the bus. I enjoyed walking because we could chat on the way. I didn’t like it when it was raining though, but Mum always made sure I wore my raincoat and gumboots. On the other hand, I became a strong walker, and I believe that’s why I’ve been healthy all my life.
Question 2
My parents drive me to school. Why didn’t you go to school by car?
We were not rich enough at that time. We could not afford a car until after I had finished school.
Question 3
How did you get around when you weren’t going to school?
We often went for a family trip by train. Most weekends we went on picnics and I loved playing with my cousins in the park. The trip took much longer than it would take by car today of course.
Question 4
How do you get around now?
I still love walking, but I need to drive my grandchildren around, so I mainly use my car.
( ) 34. Victor asks Question 4 to get some information about Mrs. Sanderson’s _______.
A. present lifestyle B. family life
C. lovely children D. memories of school

Martina’s Grandpa Peter lived with the family after Grandma’s death.
One day, Mom Susan decided to do the spring cleaning. They cleaned the house until everything was clean. Then Mom pointed to Grandpa’s sofa and said, “That old sofa has got to go. We’ll buy Grandpa a new one.”
But as they moved the sofa, Grandpa stopped them and shouted, “You can’t take my sofa! I don’t want a new one.” Mom had to say, “We will talk about it tonight when John gets home.” John, Martina’s dad, was still at work.
“Grandpa, why don’t you let us take away the sofa?” Martina asked at supper.
Grandpa shook his head, “I sat in this sofa, with your grandma, when I asked her to marry me. It was so long ago, but when I sit in this sofa and close my eyes, she seems to be near.”
“It’s surprising,” Martina thought, “how Grandpa can remember things from the past. These days he forgets almost everything.”
Grandpa smiled to Martina, “The night your father was born, I sat in this sofa. I was nervous when they placed the little baby into my arms.”
“Many years later,” Grandpa continued, “I sat in this sofa when the doctor told me your grandma was ill. I was lost without her, but the sofa gave me the comfort.”
“I do see now,” Martina looked at Grandpa. “This is not just an old sofa. It is more like a friend.” “Yes,” Grandpa added. “We’ve got through a lot together.”
The whole family agreed that the house would be boring without the old sofa.
( ) 37. Who does the underlined phrase “the little baby” in Paragraph 7 refer to (指)?
A. Martina. B. John. C. Susan. D. Peter.
( ) 38. According to the passage, what important things did Grandpa experience sitting in the old sofa?

A. surprised B. bored C. moved D. nervous
( ) 40. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. Martina’s Wish B. The Spring Cleaning
C. A Happy Family D. Grandpa’s Old Sofa
D
Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think.
Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a “telepresence” system (远程遥控系统)—allowing users to control the heating and locks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, health care and government services. Around the city, escalators (自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.
The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.
About 75% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. “Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener,” said Dan Hill, the head of a research company.
( ) 41. According to the text, living in a “smart” city _______.
A. is not a green way B. will be far from you
C. will soon become true D. is completely impossible
( ) 42. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. A city of the future. B. A meeting in Songdo.
C. A plan to build a house. D. A report on public health.
( ) 43. Which company offers the great mind to build Songdo?
A. Cisco. B. IMB. C. Siemens. D. Microsoft.
( ) 44. Dan Hill thinks that making cities smarter is one way to _______.
A. drive people out of cities
B. control the world’s population
C. develop his own company
D. solve the cities’ coming problems
( ) 45. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A. Future Education B. Smart Cities
C. Government Services D. Famous Companies
第二节: 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(每小题2 分，共10 分)
It seems very natural that if you have two dollars and add two dollars to them, you have four dollars. 46.__________ In fact, one of the most difficult things to teach children is the ideas of numbers.
In ancient (古代的) times, when a man wanted to tell how many animals he owned, he had no system (体系) of numbers to use. 47.__________ The more animals, the more stones or pebbles he had. It may explain why the word “calculate” comes from the Latin word “calculus” which means “stone”. 48.__________ People would just scratch (划下) a line or tally mark for each object they wanted to count, but they had no word to tell the number.
The next step in the development of the number system was probably to use fingers. 49.__________ The word “digit” comes from the Latin word “digitus”. It means “finger”! And the fact that we have 10 fingers led to the general use of 10 in the system of numbers.
The number system we use today was invented by the Hindus in India thousands of years ago and was brought to Europe during the 8th to 11th centuries by Arab traders. In this system all numbers are written with the nine digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and zero. 50.__________
A. He put a stone or pebble into a bag for each animal.
B. But do you know it took man millions of years to be able to think this way?
C. It is the decimal system (十进制). It is built on the base of 10.
D. There were many ways to remember the numbers in the past.
E. Later on, man used tally marks to count.
F. Again we have a word that goes back to this.
G. He had many stones and pebbles in his bag.

五、根据短文内容，用括号内所给词的正确形式填空，使短文完整(每小题1 分，共10 分)
Zhang Hua lives in a village at the foot of a big mountain. It 61.__________ (use) to be a very poor village.
Fifteen years ago, the villagers’ living conditions were very hard. People 62.__________ (throw) rubbish everywhere, so the environment was very dirty.

I have changed a lot!
Time goes by. Three years have passed. Of course I have changed a lot. Let me show you my changes.
I used to be really short and thin. I used to be shy and quiet. I was always silent in class. But now I have changed a lot. One of my most important changes is that I become more outgoing. What made me change a lot? I remember when I was in Grade Eight, there was an English speech in our school. I wanted to take part in it, but I was afraid of it. Our English teacher, Mr. Wang encouraged me to take part in it. He guided me a lot, and I practiced a lot every day. Finally, I won the first prize in the speech contest. I felt very proud and happy. Since then, I have become more outgoing.
作文点评: 这篇习作运用了“三步”法进行写作。文章开头总写变化，引出话题→通过一件事详细描述了作者自己性格变化的经历→抒发情感。文章开头部分简洁明了，go by, pass, change a lot 等显示出作者遣词造句的功底；主体部分先说明作者过去的性格特征；然后通过一件事使自己发生了巨大的变化。在描述过程中，长短句结合，连词的使用，使文章连贯通顺，读起来朗朗上口；文章结尾处用proud, happy, more outgoing 等形容词，表达了作者自信的心情。
添彩点: 文中画线部分为本文添彩点。
