“Mommy, I got something for you!” Cody ran 16 the door after school. His face wore the biggest smile ever. He waved something above his head. “It’s a pen. But not 17 any pen. It’s a lucky pen!” He handed me the pen 18 , waiting for my reply.
I looked at the pen in my hand. There was 19 special about it. It looked just like any other pen in my drawer. At that moment, I didn’t realize how special it was or 20 I would treasure(珍爱) it.
I had made the decision to be a writer, but I was afraid of being 21 by the publishers（出版社）. The night before, I told my husband my 22 when I didn’t think Cody was listening. “What if nobody likes my writing and I fail?” But Cody did 23 what I said. Now he stood in front of me, watching me examine the pen. “You don’t have to be afraid now,” he said. “This pen will make your 24 great and everyone will love them.”
Tears filled my eyes. Even if I 25 sold the first book, I had everything I could ever need. And I felt 26 already, just by having Cody in my life, especially when I heard what he did to get it. At lunch, Cody heard an older boy talking about having a lucky pen. He decided to get it for me. The boy wouldn’t agree but Cody didn’t 27 . Finally, he traded his favorite model car and two army men--his most important things for that pen. Just to make 28 feel better.
I still have that pen, 29 it’s long out of ink（墨水）, in a cup on my desk. When a refusal letter arrives and I start feeling 30 , I look at it and remember just how lucky I am. So I value（重视） that pen, it’s Cody who I treasure really in my life.

I am off on a trip on my own. Yes! Alone! I can't wait going to Europe to see some cities I really want to visit. It is great because I can choose what I want to do in each city. I am going to travel by train on the Euro rail.
The train trip was fast and the views of the countryside were amazing. Now I am in Salzburg, Austria. The quiet hills of Austria are a great place to relax.

I spent the whole day visiting the art museums here. The museum about the famous Dutch artist Van Gogh is filled with history and beautiful art. I took a boat ride and saw local people in traditional dress. I even got to taste some delicious Dutch cheese.
Copenhagen, Denmark, is one of the safest places in the world. I spent a busy and nice day at the Tivoli Amusement Park. It is a huge park which even has concerts and dance shows. Hans Christian Anderson, a famous writer of children's books, was born in this city. I found a lovely bookshop and bought two of his fairy tale books, The Little Mermaid and The Ugly Duckling.
My travels alone are done! What an adventure this trip has been! I love it.

The smallest library in the world has appeared on the streets of New York City---and it has space for just one reader at a time. The bright yellow plastic building has 40 books and its purpose(目的) is to help travelers take a break with a good story.
The Little Free Library was designed by two creative architects(建筑师) using recycled materials, with holes allowing visitors to look in before they enter the building. Architects Marcelo Ertorteguy and Sara Valente said the library creates an environment which keeps its users in the experience of reading books.
The library in Manhattan has attracted(吸引) a great deal of interest since it was set last month. “The Little Free Library idea was created about three years ago and quickly started to appear in the other places, including Europe, Africa and India,” Mr. Ertorteguy said.
He added, “With the library we wanted to create a place where to slow down, a small place in New York City’s streets where to get into a new world---the world of the book you pick.”
There are more than 5,000 Little Free Library across the U.S. and the other countries, but most are nothing more than outdoor bookshelves which cannot hold readers inside. The project is to give everyone access to reading material even if they live in areas which are not served by public libraries.
42. People use the holes on the library to ___________.
A. protect the books B. look into the library
C. relax themselves D. attract more readers
43. The underlined word “access” in the last paragraph might mean “____________”.

A. the address of the library B. the purpose (目的) of the library
C. the history of the library D. the material of the library
45. Which of the following is TRUE?

B. The Little Free Library gets people into a new city.
C. The Little Free Library cost two architects a lot of money.
D. The Little Free Library has been built all over Asia.

Ms. Evans also loved music and was admired by lots of students because of her wide 56 _(知识) of musical instruments. And she was such a kind and loving teacher. She 57 (很少）got angry with us students.
At that time I wasn’t a good English learner. I used to 58 (失败）my English tests. How I wished I could get a better score to please my parents! So one day, I tried to cheat in the exam, which was found by Ms. Evans. I felt ashamed and afraid of being 59 (惩罚）in front of the whole class. But with no harsh words and no violent anger, Ms. Evans just stopped me quietly .The gentle look was still on her face. And nobody else noticed what was going on with me.
After school, Ms. Evans asked me to show her around the village. On the way, we had a long conversation. I can’t remember 60 （确切）what she said. But she did make me realize that it is honesty that matters much. Ms. Evans has been without doubt, my favorite teacher!
五、语法填空（每小题1分，共10分）
阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入适当的词或用括号中词语的正确形式填空。
Children today have many things to play with. They can watch television, surf 61 Internet, or play video games. But what do you think children 62 (do) for fun long ago? They read books.
Some of you might ask, "Are books 63 (real) fun?" Believe it or not, books provide many things that television or computers cannot. Since books use only words 64 (tell) a story, they can improve your imagination. You can picture the characters and background in your head and you can also imagine
65 the characters feel.
The words and sentences that are used in storytelling are also very interesting and usually cannot be
66 (find) often on television or on websites. They are sometimes so beautiful and touching
67 they can bring tears to your eyes.
Books also help us to think harder and 68 (deep). As we continue to read, we ask questions to
69 (our) and try to find answers.
These are some of the 70 (reason) why books are so fun to read.
Remember: the more you read, the more you grow.

Which musical instrument shall I learn?Many people would like to learn how to play anmusical instrument, but they are put off by one big problem:What to play? Here are a few questions to help you decide. 71 Many instruments are of different use，but some are more fit for certain types of music. Some instruments may lead themselves better than others to the music you like, so consider this before you start.Do you want to play with other people Think about your long-term future as a musician. If you want to play with other people, what sort of instrument would be most practical? Your first thought of playing the violin, for example, might disappear when too many people are competing with you！ 72 Many people live in flats and practicing the drums, for example, will drive your neighbors crazy. Think about where and when you are going to practice, as well as the feelings of the people you live with or near. 73 This is quite a big factor. Many instruments can be bought at different prices. But this doesn't change the fact that many, such as the piano, are always pretty expensive. If you can't afford your chosen instrument，will you be able to borrow someone else's or hire one 74 Talk to people you know who already play instruments. They might even let you try theirs. It's also a good idea to find an experienced music teacher, preferably one who plays a few different instruments, who can give you some advice and push you in the right direction.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen,
I’m very glad to make a speech here. Today my topic is “How I’ve changed!”. I used to be too shy to ask others for help when in trouble. Now I become outgoing and take an active part in activities, even dare to give a speech in front of crowds.
As for schoolwork, I didn’t use to be interested in study and sometimes even be absent from classes. As a result, I often failed my examinations. But now, I become interested in study and pay more attention to the ways of learning. So, I’ve made great progress.
I hardly did sports years ago, but now I’ve formed a good habit of doing exercise. My parents used to worry about me, but now they are proud of me.
