Everyone knows that we are busy all day. Seldom do we know what is happening both at home and abroad, let alone what we can do for our country. By reading newspapers we can get more information about the world outside. So I think “Friday News Hour” can broaden our mind and enrich our school life. What‘s more, it will help us improve our reading skills. As for my suggestion, I think it’s better to have it twice a week. And we should make a choice about what we‘ll read.

A.advise B.have advised C.are advised D.had been advised 答案:C 解析:考查动词的语态。语意:(公司)建议员工在一周内签合同。根据题意。The employees与advise为动宾关系,所以应该用被动结构,故选C项。 14.The old woman ______ her sons and daughters ______ and see her from time to time. A.suggested; to come B.hoped; to come C.desired; coming D.desired; to come 答案:D 解析:考查 desire sb. to do sth. 希望某人做某事。suggest 和 hope 都不能搭配 sb. to do sth. 结构。 15.He hurried to the booking office only ______ that all the tickets had been sold out. A.to be told B.to tell C.told D.telling 答案:A 解析:“only+不定式”做结果状语,表示动作的结果,该结果常常出乎意料。根据句意可判断出 he是 tell的动作被执行者,所以要用不定式的被动式,表示被告知。 Ⅲ .阅读理解 A What is an animal? For many people, an animal has four legs, a head at the front and a tail at the back. There are, in fact, many different kinds of animals. Some are so small that you cannot see them with human eyes. Some have no head, no mouth and no legs. Some live in the ocean. Some can't fly. They come in thousands of different shapes, sizes and colors. One of the largest groups of animals is the insect group. These animals have six parts to their bodies. Many insects cause human problems. Some carry diseases. Others are a problem because they eat the food that farmers grow. But there are insects, like bees and butterflies, which we need because they help flowers and fruit to grow. Like many of the insects, birds have wings and can fly. There are many different types of birds. Some eat fish and are happy living near rivers or the ocean. Others like to live in the countryside or near towns in flocks of many hundreds and mostly eat insects, and there are birds, like the mountain eagles, which eat meat with their strong sharp beaks. They also have sharp claws on their feet, which are perfect for hunting and killing. Like birds, mammals are warm-blooded, and just as all birds have feathers, all mammals have hair on their bodies. Sometimes you can hardly see the hair. Sometimes the hair is very thick, and then it is called fur. There are several different groups of mammals. There are the cats, which include lions and tigers; there are animals with large front teeth, which include mice and rats; there are the sea mammals, which include the whale, the largest animal in the world. Then there are animals which have two arms and can walk on two legs like monkeys and, of course, humans. Fish and reptiles are cold-blooded animals. Fish live in the ocean, but reptiles usually live on the land. Reptiles are probably the least popular animals. They include the long thin snakes that many people are afraid of. However, some people keep snakes in their homes as pets. 1.According to the passage, an animal ______. A.has four legs, a head at the front and a tail at the back B.is a living thing which is quite strong to humans C.is so small that people can't see it with human eyes D.may come in a different shape, size and color 答案及解析: 1.D。推理判断题。根据第一段可知动物大小各异,颜色各异。 2.Why are insects commonly considered to be harmful? A.They are among the largest groups of animals. B.They all have six legs and three parts to their bodies. C.Many of them bring trouble like disease to humans. D.They help flowers and fruit to grow every year. 答案及解析: 2.C。事实细节题。从第二段Many insects cause human problems.可知,许多昆虫会给人类带来麻烦,或传染疾病或破坏粮食。 3.How are birds different from mammals? A.They have wings which help them to fly. B.They are warm-blooded animals. C.They like to live in the countryside or near the ocean. D.They have sharp teeth, which are perfect for hunting and killing. 答案及解析: 3.A。事实细节题。通过比较三、四段的内容可知鸟类和哺乳动物最大的不同是鸟类有翅膀。 4.Which of the animals below belong to reptiles? A.Rabbits. B.Butterflies. C.Swallows. D.Snakes. 答案及解析: 4.D。词义猜测题。reptile意为爬行动物,故只有snakes符合。 B The runup to the launch of China's first lunar orbiter at the end of this month has caught the country's imagination, with more than two thirds of the nation hoping to see the launch live on TV, according to a survey. According to the survey by China Youth Daily and www.qq.com, almost the entire nation hopes to catch images of the event at some point, with 99 percent of the 10 358 respondents saying they expected to witness the satellite launch and 68.9 percent said they were certain to watch the live broadcast of the launch. On www.qq.com and www.sina.com, two popular Web portals in the country, Internet users have contributed some 2 000 poems and 5 000 drawings on the theme of Chang'e 1. “The satellite launch means much more than just saying ‘hello’ to the moon. Maybe in the future we could also send some people to accompany Sister ‘Chang'e’,” said a college student in the survey. Remarkably, many people expect to visit the moon one day, with 93.4 percent of respondents saying they expected to do so. Chang'e Ⅰ is named after Chang'e, a famous character from Chinese mythology. She ascended from the earth to live on the moon as a celestial being after drinking an elixir. There is also another connection between the moon and China. In the 1970s, a crater on the moon was named after a Chinese stargazer, Wan Hu, who is said to be the first astronaut in human history. Legend says about 600 years ago, around the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Wan Hu, a local government official, tried to fly into space with the help of a chair, two big kites and 47 selfmade gunpowder—filled rockets. According to the legend after the r ockets were lit there was a huge bang and lots of smoke. When the smoke cleared Wan was nowhere to be found. China's first astronaut flew into space in 2003 with the launch of the Chinesemade spaceship Shenzhou V. China became the third country, after the Soviet Union and the United States, to carry out manned space missions. 5.Which is true according to the passage? A. According to a survey, two thirds of the nation are hoping to see the launch live on TV. B. The Internet users have drawn some 5 000 pictures of “Chang'e”. C. Wan Hu, a Chinese stargazer, was dead after the huge bang and a lot of smoke. D. China's first astronaut flew into space in 2003 in the spaceship Shenzhou VI. 答案及解析: 5.C。综合细节题。A错,因为是more than two thirds of the nation are hoping to see the launch live on TV。B错,因为所画的不是5 000张嫦娥的图像,而是以嫦娥1号为主题的图片。D错,应该是“神舟5号”。 6.What's the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 5? A. A kind of medicine for long life. B. A kind of medicine to make you light enough to fly in the air. C. A kind of wine. D. A kind of alcohol. 答案及解析: 6.A。猜测词义题。嫦娥偷吃的是长生不老药。 7.Why was Wan Hu said to be the first astronaut in human history? A. Because a crater on the moon was named after his name. B. Because he was the first to go to the moon in his own “spaceship”. C. Because of his courage for scientific experiment to the moon. D. Because he made the first rocket in human history. 答案及解析: 7.C。推理判断题。万户并没有去月球,而是死了,他具有的是为科学探索献身的精神和勇气,故此人们把他称为人类的第一位宇航员。查看更多
