Do you know something about space? It is an amazing place! The solar system is in space. It is
made up of the Sun and the eight planets around the Sun.
In the Center
The Sun is in the center of the solar system. The Sun is a hot, bright star. It gives off heat (热) and
light. The Sun is close to the Earth. That is why it looks different from other stars. Most stars look
tiny and you can only see them at night because they are so far away from the Earth.
Around the Sun
A planet is a large ball. There are eight planets in the solar system. We live on one of them — the
Earth! The others are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Each planet
moves in a way around the Sun.
Around the Earth
The Moon is much smaller than the Earth. It travels around the Earth. It may look as if it gives off
light, but it doesn’t. It looks bright because it reflects that light from the Sun.
Space Facts
The Sun is so large that it is almost as big as a million Earths.
The Earth is called the Blue Planet because there is so much water on it and it looks blue in space.
()31. Why does the Sun look different from other stars?A. Because it is close to the Earth.

D. Because it is so far away.

()33. What does the underlined word “reflects” 4 mean?

C. Throws away. D. Gives off.
()34. Why is the Earth called the Blue Planet?
A. Because it gives off blue light.
B. Because the sky is blue.
C. Because it looks blue in space.
D. Because there are many blue buildings on Earth.

On Saturday morning in the year 2059, I stayed in bed until eleven o’ clock, and my mother woke
me up. “Wang Mang! Get out of bed!” she said. “You’ve got homework to do, haven’t you?” Were
mothers so annoying (恼人的) years ago?
Then I got out of bed and asked the robot to make me a quick brunch — a hamburger and French
fries. But the robot said, “Sorry, Mang. Your mother says I can only give you three hamburgers a
week. I think maybe you could have dumplings or perhaps some fruit salad.” You see, my mother
has programmed the robot to stop giving me the things I really want to eat. I feel like a prisoner
(囚犯)!
After finishing my brunch, I got out my homework pad. The pad looks like a piece of paper, but
it’s actually a computer. We don’t use paper much anymore. Paper books are really expensive, so
we usually buy cheap computer books.
I had to do my Maths homework. We never need to use Maths in our daily lives — computers
solve all the Maths problems. But our Maths teacher says that if people stop studying Maths,
they’ll forget how to think and become like vegetables. Well, I want to be a vegetable. I hate
Maths!
()36. What does the underlined word “brunch” mean in the passage?
A. Breakfast and lunch.
B. Breakfast with milk.
C. Lunch with coffee.
D. Lunch and dinner.

D. he isn’t allowed to eat what he likes
()38. From the passage we can know that __________ in 2059.
A. computer books are cheaper than paper books
B. children aren’t allowed to eat fast food
C. mothers will be so annoying
D. there is no paper
()39. Wang Mang thinks that studying Maths is __________.
A. interesting B. useless
C. too hard D. too easy
()40. Which can be the best title for the article?
A. A day in the future.
B. A modem robot at home.
C. Paper books vs computers.
D. Maths or vegetables.

According to a recent report, more than 60 percent of primary and middle school students in China
have failed to get enough sleep over the past ten years.
The report says that there are about 100 million students in China who hardly ever have enough
sleep. Too much homework, more hours spent studying at school and too many after-school
classes are the main causes of less sleep.
Although our country is trying to reduce (减少) the burden (负担)of students, it hasn’t got a good
result. On average (平均地)，primary school students spend about 8.1 hours at school each day.
The time is two hours longer than the national standard. Middle school students spend an average
of 11 hours at school every day, which is three hours longer than the national standard.
"The school pays more attention to the students’ grades, so we have no choice but to reduce the
students’ spare time,” a teacher from Beijing said.
Wang Zan, an education expert, has his own idea，“Primary and middle school students are in
an important period of physical development. They should sleep around nine to ten hours each
day. Less sleep can lead to a weak body and a poor memory. It is not good for the education, and
can even be harmful to students’ physical growth.”
()41. How many students don’t have enough sleep according to the passage?
A. About 100,000,000.
B. About 10,000,000.
C. About 1,000,000.
D. About 100,000.
()42. Chinese primary school students spend at school than the national standard.
A. one hour longer
B. one hour shorter
C. two hours longer
D. two hours shorter
()43. What can we know from the report?
A. Our country has succeeded in reducing the burden of students.
B. Many Chinese students don’t have enough sleep.C. Primary school students should stay at school for 8 hours.
D. Only two reasons of less sleep are mentioned in the passage.
()44. Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?
A. Students have less sleep because they have to spend more time studying.
B. Middle school students usually study longer than primary school students.
C. Wang Zan explained the influence of less sleep on students’ health.
D. The teacher from Beijing suggested reducing students’ free time.
()45. What does the writer mainly want to tell us?
A. Students in China should be given more free time to sleep.
B. Students should pay more attention to their studies.
C. Students should have more time to play sports.
D. Chinese students have to face too many problems from school.

III. 听短文，根据所听内容选择最佳答案。短文念两遍。
(M) My favorite hobby is reading. I enjoy reading books in my spare time. I started to read when I
was four years old. I felt interested the first time I did it, so I kept reading. I like to read stories
with happy endings. My favorite writer is J. K. Rowling. She wrote Harry Potter.
There are a lot of good things about reading. Firstly, reading can bring me a lot of joy. Secondly,
books provide me with knowledge. I can learn about different cultures of other countries in the
world. What’s more, reading can make me think freely.
I read at least one hour every day. I read books by myself and I usually read at home. In the
future I will keep on reading.
IV. 听短文，根据所听内容补全下列小短文。短文念两遍。(W) I’m called Agnieska and I live in the centre of Tirana. Some days on my way to school, the
smoke from the cars makes me feel sick. In the 1980’s there were only 2,000 cars in Tirana. Now
there are 300,000 and most of them are in the city centre each day. These cars in Tirana produce
50 kilograms of pollution for every person in Tirana each year, so there’s lots of air pollution here.
If the government doesn’t do anything about the smoke, I think many people will get illnesses.
Luckily, it’s said that the government will soon stop people from driving old cars and ask the
drivers to pay money if their cars make too much pollution. I quite like this idea and I think it will
work.

In my opinion, in the future students will still study at school. But it will be different from now.
Every student will have an iPad. They will look at the iPad instead of the blackboard when the
teacher is having a class. They will not finish their homework on the paper. Instead, students will
do it on the iPad. Their teacher will see their answers on computer. Students will not use paper in
studying. I think, most students will get used to the new way of learning, but some will not like it
because they don’t like the new technology.
