As more and more people begin to read online, do we still need libraries now Reporter Ian Clark has the answer. “Libraries are still important-people still find it greater and easier to use them.”
According to him, not everyone has enough money to buy a smart phone, or a computer, and not everyone knows how to search the Internet, but libraries can offer people the same chance to get what they want to know about. And sometimes the information online is not correct. It will take you a lot of time to find what you really need. Libraries are more reliable(可靠的). Moreover, we still need a kind of place that a library provides. In a library, it’s easy to get lost in reading and working and it’s also less possible for us to stop to do something else.
So working in a library is quite helpful. We usually call this kind of place “third places”. There are some other “third places” like coffee shops. They can also make you relax completely. And you see no sellers or advertisements in the library. If you spend all your time on computers, your eyes will get tired. You should go to the library to find out the true, meaningful, and exact information about things. The world still needs libraries and it doesn’t matter if you don’t think so because most people do.
Libraries are still important

It is quite helpful to ___6___ in the library. Libraries can also make you relax ___7___. You see no sellers or ___8___ in the library.

A. to smoke B. not to smoke C. smoke D. not smoke
【答案】B
【解析】句意:汤姆咳嗽得厉害。医生建议他别再抽烟了。
考查非谓语动词。根据“Tom coughed a lot.”可知,医生应该建议汤姆不要抽烟,advise sb. (not) to do sth.“建议某人(不要)做某事”,动词不定式作宾补,否定在to前面加not。故选B。
2. Kitty likes keeping the secrets to ________, even her best friends don’t know them.
A. herself B. itself C. themselves D. yourselves
【答案】A
【解析】句意:凯蒂喜欢保守秘密,甚至她最好的朋友都不知道。

A. worst B. worse C. best D. better

考查比较级和词义辨析。worst最差的,bad的最高级;worse更差的,bad的比较级;best最好的,good和well的最高级;better更好的,good和well的比较级。根据“never”可知,此处用比较级的否定形式表示最高级的含义,即“否定词+比较级”,排除选项A和C;根据“It’s amazing.”可知,这首歌比其他歌都更好听。故选D。
4. Wetlands are important because they help ________ flood.
A. prevent B. protect C. project D. provide
【答案】A

8. “We call the baby panda Xi Wang.” The structure of this sentence is “________”.

A little stream (小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert, “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed.
At this time, a deep voice said, “ if a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “that’s because a breeze can fly, but I can’t.”
“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across.” said the desert.
“Give up what I am now No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea.
“The breeze can carry the vapor (水蒸气) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again.” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.”
Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage (阶段) of her life.

【解析】本文主要讲述了小溪流想要穿过沙漠到达海洋,但是刚开始一直失败,最后听从了沙漠的建议改变了自己的形态,变成了水蒸气,在风的帮助下,最后越过了沙漠,进入自己生命的另一阶段,从而对我们的人生有所启示。
1推理判断题。题意:小溪到达沙漠时是怎样想的?A. She thought she couldn’t cross the desert.她认为她不能过沙漠;B. She believed she could cross the desert.她相信可以过沙漠;C. She thought she knew well about the desert.她认为很了解沙漠;D. She started to worry about herself.她开始担忧自己。由第一段小溪的话“I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert”(我经历了那么多的困难,我穿过沙漠应该没有问题),可以推测出小溪相信自己可以通过沙漠。故选B。
2推理判断题。题意:有下划线的“it”指的是什么?A. The desert.沙漠;B. The nature自然;C. The breeze微风;D. The stream小溪。句意:把你自己蒸发到微风中,它能带你过沙漠。所以,it指的是微风。故选C。
3推理判断题。题意:最后小溪做了什么?A. Crossed the desert穿过沙漠;B. Stopped trying停止了努力;C. Failed to get to the ocean未能成功到大海;D. Died死亡了。从短文最后一自然段可知:小溪最后蒸发到了微风中,跟着微风穿过了沙漠。故选A。
4判断正误题。根据文中句子“I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,”可知,小溪在到达沙漠之前经历了许多困难。A表达错误;根据文中句子“The breeze can carry the vapor (水蒸气) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again.”可知,微风只能带着水蒸气穿过沙漠,B表达错误;根据文中句子“And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes”可知,当小溪变成蒸汽后,本性不会发生改变,C表达错误;根据“Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage (阶段) of her life.”可知,最后在沙漠的建议下,改变了自己的形态,变成了水蒸气,在风的帮助下,最后越过了沙漠。故D选项表达正确。
5主旨大意题。题意:故事的主要思想是什么?A. The road to success is not always easy.通往成功的路不平坦;B. We should do the right thing whatever others say.无论别人说什么,我们应该做正确的事;C. Our lives can be as difficult as the little stream’s.我们的生活会和小溪的生活一样艰难;D. To succeed, we should change the way we used to be.为了成功,我们应该改变我们过去的方式方法。小溪通过把自己变成了蒸汽跟着微风穿越了沙漠,是因为改变自己而成功。故选D。

阅读下面的短文,并根据所读内容在文章后图表中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词,每个空格只填一个单词。
As more and more people begin to read online, do we still need libraries now Reporter Ian Clark has the answer. “Libraries are still important-people still find it greater and easier to use them.”
According to him, not everyone has enough money to buy a smart phone, or a computer, and not everyone knows how to search the Internet, but libraries can offer people the same chance to get what they want to know about. And sometimes the information online is not correct. It will take you a lot of time to find what you really need. Libraries are more reliable(可靠的). Moreover, we still need a kind of place that a library provides. In a library, it’s easy to get lost in reading and working and it’s also less possible for us to stop to do something else.
So working in a library is quite helpful. We usually call this kind of place “third places”. There are some other “third places” like coffee shops. They can also make you relax completely. And you see no sellers or advertisements in the library. If you spend all your time on computers, your eyes will get tired. You should go to the library to find out the true, meaningful, and exact information about things. The world still needs libraries and it doesn’t matter if you don’t think so because most people do.
Libraries are still important

【答案】例文
Protect earth and love animals
Good morning, everyone! Today I am very happy to be here to give a speech.
Humans share the same home with other animals. However, people cut down too many trees so that the area of the wetlands becomes smaller and smaller. And people are making more space for farms and buildings. As a result, animals don’t have enough places to live. Moreover, people kill animals in order to make money.
So the government should make laws to protect them. We students can tell people the importance of protecting animals. If we do nothing, soon animals will be in great danger.
Let’s do something for them right now! Thank you very much.
