He was holding 5 hands in front of him as he walked carefully in order not to

spill(溢出 ) the water he carried. As I came closer, I was 6 by what I

saw-several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked straight up to 7 . I

You may think that English dictionaries have been used for many, many

centuries. In fact, an English dictionary you 16 today wasn't made until the

Qing Dynasty(清朝). Three men did most of the important 17 work on

dictionaries. They spent nearly all their lives trying to 18 words for their

dictionaries. For them, it was a wonderful journey. The largest dictionary in the

world is Oxford English Dictionary. The 19 for this dictionary came from an

important meeting in Britain in 1857. Twenty-two years later, Oxford University

asked James Murray to be editor of its new dictionary.

Murray had never been to 20 . At the age of fourteen, he left his village

school in Scotland and taught himself while working in a bank. 21 he became

a great teacher. After Oxford gave him the job, Murray asked some men to 22

a small house in his garden to do the work. Every morning, Murray got out of bed

at five o'clock and 23 in the small house several hours before breakfast.

Often he would work into the night. Murray hoped to finish the new dictionary in

ten years. But after five years, he was 24 adding words for the letter “A”! He

worked on the dictionary 25 he was very old. Forty-four years later, in 1928,

阅读下列短文，从26-45各题所给的A B C 和D项中选出最佳的选择，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑.

A

I am Greek, and my family go to Greece every summer. Uncle Spyro and

Aunt Aspa lived about 45 minutes outside of Athens. Every summer when we

travelled to Greece, we would spend a couple of days with them.

I remember all the fun things we would do there. We would shake almonds

(杏仁) off of the branches of Uncle Spyro's almond trees. Using his strong arms, he

would break the shells off, and present us with the shiny white nut. With Aunt Aspa

we would pick lemons off her lemon trees and carry them inside the small house

with the help of Uncle Spyro. Drinking the fresh lemonade and eating the delicious

almonds, we would sit on the porch and talk. Uncle Spyro and Aunt Aspa didn't

speak English, and my Greek wasn't and still isn't perfect. But those peacefully

quiet time on the porch were the time that I miss most.

Uncle Spyro developed cancer from smoke for most of his life and he

became very sick. We didn't go to Greece in 2009, but we planned on going again

in 2010. But just in the late spring of 2010, we found out that Uncle Spyro was in

the hospital shortly before we left for Greece. My mother, Alethea, and I wanted to

see him. But he passed away before we could get there. We were deeply grieved to

hear the news. Now, I wish that we had seen him for the last time. But my uncle

didn't wait for us to go.

We still visit Aunt Aspa and we still pick almonds and lemons. We still drink

the fresh lemonade and eat the delicious almonds on the porch. But somehow the

lemonade isn't as fresh, and the almonds aren't as delicious as before.

I think I'm still here to comfort Aunt Aspa and that I'm still here to finish my

life. I'm not afraid of death any more like some people. And I know that when I do

die, I'll just be going up to Uncle Spyro, and we'll eat almonds and drink lemonade,

just like before.

28. We can learn from the passage that_________.

C. the writer can speak Greek fluently D. the writer could talk with his aunt fluently

29. The underlined word “grieved”in paragraph three means“_________”.

Nowadays, the food that you buy comes from many from different countries.

Have a look in your bridge, cupboard, and fruit bowl and check the origins (（来源）

of the food. Perhaps there are apples from California, lamb from New Zealand, or

potatoes from Egypt? You will probably be surprised how far food travels to get to

your plate. This journey, from “field to plate”, is called “food miles”. A food mile is

the distance that food travels from the farmer's field to the person who buys the

food. Nowadays, food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumers.

Why is this, and what are the effects of these long distances?

Traditionally, farmers sold their food in the local market, so the food didn't

have to travel very far. The consumers also did not travel very far because they

went to their local market to buy the food. This was a good system for farmers and

consumers

example, For disadvantages. some were there However, consumers.

could only buy food that farmers produced locally. In addition, they could only get

food that was in season. Now, because of modern technology, food comes from all

over the world. We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or

tomatoes. They are available in winter if we want.

Some countries have to import（进口） most of their food. This is because

they have difficult climates. The United Arab Emirates (UAE), for example, gets

85% of its food from other countries. Even food made in the UAE often uses

imported material.

What is wrong with “food miles”? Is this not a good way of increasing

international trade? I believe these miles are worrying for a number of reasons.

First of all, because food travels such long distances, we need more planes, lorries

and ships to move the food. This means we use more oil or petrol, so there is more

pollution and more global （全球的）warming. In addition, food that travels a long

way is not fresh and usually not very tasty. Tomatoes, for example, are picked early

and stored for their long journeys. For this reason, they are usually tasteless when

they get to the consumer. Local food has a better taste, and it also reduces the

amount of global pollution. We need to buy more local food.

31. What is called “food miles” according to this passage?

A. The origins of the food. B. The effects of long distances.

C. The journey from field to plate. D. Te disadvantages of imported food.

32. The underlined word “available” in Paragraph 2 most probably means

“__________”

A. easy to get B. not busy

C. willing to talk D. impossible to get

33. Some countries, like the United Arab Emirates, have to import most of their

food because of ________.

A. long distance B. difficult climates

C. fresh and tasty food D. modern technology

34. The writer uses the last paragraph mostly to encourage readers to

____________.

A. buy more local food B. increase international trade

C. travel long distances D. use imported material

35. This passage is mainly about _______________.

A. how local food travels from field to plate

B. what “food miles” is and its effects

C. how some countries import their food

D. where different kinds of food come from

C

Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy but few

know how to find happiness. Money and success don't bring lasting happiness.

Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness.

Some people believe that if they are wealthy, they will be able to do anything

they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that

holding a high place in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only

money, but also many other things which can't be bought by money. However,

other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a

high place in the government. These people value（重视）their beliefs, or their

wisdom, or their health. They think these can make them happy.

Here are the ways to help you be happier.

The secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we

spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or

getting a good job that we don't enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple

pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favourite music, or

spending time with close friends. People who have close friends usually enjoy

happier and healthier lives.

The secret of happiness is also to be active. Many people go dancing or play

sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.

Besides, many people find happiness in helping other people. According to

studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful

things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone.

You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old

neighbour, or simply help around the house.

Now maybe you know how to find happiness.

36. Some people who hold a high place in the government think they can

_________.

A. do what they want to do at any time

B. enjoy health, which makes them work hard

C. take an active part in all kinds of activities everyday

D. get money and something they can't buy with money

37. _________ is NOT the simple life you can enjoy.

A. Worrying about the future B. Reading a good book

C. Staying with close friends D. Listening to one's favorite music

38. The writer thinks the secret of happiness is that people _________.

A. think about getting a good job B. often spend time with close friends

C. think of presents they don't like D. often spend time on entering the college

39. Many people find it happy to _________.

B. make much money and little progress

A. go shopping to get some food

C. remember the old days and trouble D. do some meaningful things for other people

40. The passage mainly tells us _________.

A. how to save happiness B. to value our beliefs or health

C. how to find happiness D. to do something good for other people

写作

In Guangzhou, more and more students begin to ride shared

bikes to school. We can see those bikes everywhere. Surely, they bring

us a lot of convenience in our daily life. Shared bikes are popular

among students for the following reasons. First, it's very convenient to

use the shared bikes. Students can unlock the shared bikes easily by

using their phones. Second, it's cheap to rent the shared bikes. Using

them for half an hour costs only 0.5 yuan.

However, there are some problems as well. On one hand, some

people park the bikes here and there. On the other hand, some people

damage the bikes on purpose or even steal the bikes.

In my opinion, people should learn how to use the shared bikes

properly in order to make our life easier and our city better.
