During the dinner, noodles slipped(滑落) through my chopsticks onto the table lots of times. Once, I tried to pick up a dumpling for my father, but I 23 it on his shorts. We both looked at it as it fell to the floor. I looked behind me and people were 24 about my chopsticks skills.

No one B Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy. Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory. Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male animal, considers as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species(物種) are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and frighten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away. If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting(筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away. Birds sing loudest in spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs. You can see that birds have a language of their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories. 28. Some scientists believe that most of the time bird’s singing is actually _____________. A. an expression of happiness B. a way of warning C. an expression of anger D. a way of greeting 29. What does the underlined word “territory” mean? A. An area which a bird considers to be its own. B. An area for which birds fight against each other. C. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice. D. A place where families of other species are not welcome. 30. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season? A. Because they want to invite more friends. B. Because they want to find outsiders around. C. Because they want to express their happiness. D. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away. 31. How does the writer explain birds’ singing? A. By telling a bird’s story. B. By describing birds’ daily life. C. By reporting experiment results. D. By comparing birds with human beings. C Captain James Cook was a great explorer. Before he started exploring, maps of the Pacific Ocean were almost empty. He visited hundreds of islands across the Pacific Ocean and put them in the correct places on the map. He made maps of the coastlines of Australia and New Zealand. James Cook was born in England in 1728. His parents were poor farm workers. When James was 18, he found a job on a coastal ship.

It happens to everybody sometimes. Luckily, there are many things you can do to make the reading a lot easier and faster. For example, if you read a paragraph, consider skimming over the whole story to get the main idea and the main characters, so you’ll know what to pay attention to as you read more closely. Reading about the book on the Internet can be a good way to get a good conclusion of the reading to help you get through it more easily. Just don’t forget to go back and read through more closely. While reading, don’t forget to look up any words or ideas you aren’t sure about. You can use context (上下文) clues to help you understand things you think difficult, but it’s always a good idea to take a minute to learn any reference (參考書). It’ll make the reading much easier. More importantly, be sure to learn to take notes while you are reading. You can write questions in the margin (頁邊空白), and underline things which you think are interesting and important ideas. If you’re reading something difficult and find yourself often wanting to go back to get something you missed, then, at the end of each page, or even at the end of each paragraph, write something about what happened on that page. If you find something that needs answering, always write it down. This might give you a good question to ask later in class, or give you something to think more about as you continue reading. What’s more, when you finish reading, start writing down what seems important, what you think the purpose of the writing is, and how it makes you feel as a reader. After you finish reading, get together with your friends or classmates and discuss the reading. Try to know how your classmates understand the reading and compare it with your own. Try not to talk about whether or not it is “boring”, but pay attention to how well your classmates explain what you might have found difficult. Think of open questions to explore the reading, and don’t ask questions that can be answered with a “yes” or a “no”. Learning to ask “how” is a helpful way of coming up with big discussion questions. How to understand what you read Skim before reading closely ● Start with skimming or reading about the book 56 to know what the book is mainly about. ● In this way, you know what you should pay 57 to while reading it closely. Look up any unsure words or ideas ● Try to understand 58 parts according to context clues. ● You can also read more 59 with the help of references. Take notes ● Taking notes is of great 60 while you are reading. ●Write questions in the margin and underline something 61 or important. ● Write down your 62 about what you read. ● After finishing reading, write down important ideas, the purpose of the writing and your 63 about the reading. Discuss the reading ● 64 your understanding about the book with that of your classmates. ● Pay attention to others’ good explanation of something difficult. ●Ask 65 questions instead of “yes or no” ones.
B）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容及首字母提示，填寫所缺單詞，并將答案填寫在答卷紙標號為66-75的相應(yīng)位置上。 November 21 is World Hello Day. At school, we learned that “How do you do?” and “How are you?” are standard ways to say hello when meeting others. But do you know how to reply to them? Nowadays, do native speakers seldom use them today? As we learned, “How do you do?” is for greeting someone we meet for the f 66 time. And it can be answered with the same “How do you do?”. “How are you?” is often used to greet someone we k 67 well. It usually follows with an answer of “I’m good, and you?” or “I’m fine, and you?”. But English is a casual (隨意的) language. The formal “How do you do?” is rarely said by native speakers. It is considered old-fashioned. Yet they greet each other in m 68 other ways. You may hear a conversation b 69 British people: “You all right?” “Yeah, you?” “I’m good. Any plans for the weekend?” or “How’s it going?” “Yea, fine, and you?”. These ways of greeting are p 70 for young people to say hello to friends. Americans like saying, “What’s up?” or “What’s good?” to friends. Don’t be confused (混淆的). It doesn’t m 71 “What’s wrong?”. It is just one way of saying hello. And people usually give answers like “Not much” or “Nothing”. “Hey, man” is also popular. But it is only used among men. What do w 72 say? You guessed it. They often say “Hey, girl.” If you meet an Australian, you may h 73 “G’day, mate”. It means “Good day”. You can reply with the same “G’day”. However, there is no rule to say hello to each other. If you can’t r 74 all of the above, just say “How are you?”. This is the most c 75 and standard way for people of all ages. You can reply with “pretty good”, “same as usual” or “I’m hanging in there.” 六、書面表達（滿分15分） 電子書現(xiàn)在很流行，但是還有很多人喜歡閱讀紙質(zhì)書。電子書會取代紙質(zhì)書嗎？假如某中學(xué)生英語雜志社現(xiàn)在就這一話題向社會征稿，請你根據(jù)下面表格中的提示內(nèi)容，以此為題寫一篇英語短文向其投稿。 電子書 可以儲存上千種書，不需要去書店買書…… 紙質(zhì)書 會占據(jù)家里很大空間，但依然很受歡迎…… 你的觀點 …… 要求：1．詞數(shù)80左右。短文開頭已給出，不計入總詞數(shù)； 2．短文須包括所有要點內(nèi)容，可以適當發(fā)揮，使短文連貫、通順； 3．短文中不要出現(xiàn)具體的學(xué)校名稱和人名。 提示：replace 取代 Are e-books better than traditional paper books?

E-books are very popular these days, but many readers prefer paper books. Some people think that e-books are great. They can store thousands of books on an e-reader. They don’t need to go to a bookshop because they can buy and receive books online immediately. On the other hand, paper books are still very popular. Some people prefer to hold a “real” book and like to touch paper pages although real paper books take up much space at home. In short, I think that e-books are a really useful invention. Many people use them but they won’t replace paper books in the future.
