While you are in trouble, what are you going to do? What? 36 ? Or run away? Those are
all the wrong ways. Robinson Crusoe can tell you the 37 answer.
It is an 38 story: Robinson Crusoe hated the comfortable life in his hometown. So ,
he wanted to be a seaman and travelled
around the world. But one day, a terrible
thing happened.
A great storm came and their boat crashed! No one was alive in this accident except Robinson.
He was the 39 man
in the world －Because all his friends
were 40 but
he was alive. 41 ,
at the same time he was the most tragic(

Alone on an island 42 food, water or gun! But, all roads lead to Rome! He just used
his 43 to work hard. Then, he made a cave, built a house, grew corn and kept goats. In the
end, he could 44 the life on the island. In his twenty-fourth year on the island, he saved
a wild man, and gave him the name of
“Friday ”. With Robinson
’s 45 ,
“Friday ” learned
to become a good servant(
仆人). Finally, they got a boat and 46 the island!
Surely,
the writer
of Robinson Crusoe is really
a hero! It ’s too 47 to
describe
Robinson
with words. We could say that Robinson was very 48 , and also he was brave...Certainly, too
many good words can describe
him. But now, I don’ t think
it is 49 ,
the most important
thing
is 50 we have learned from the story. That is, use our own hands to work hard with
confidence!

Different
countries
have different
customs( 风俗). When you travel
to other countries,
please
follow their customs, just as the saying goes,
“_____”.
Very often people who travel
to the United States forget
to tip.
It is usual to tip porters
who help carry your bags, taxi drivers and waiters. Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost
of your meal. Taxi drivers expect about the same amount.
In England, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It
’s important
to respect lines there. It
’s a good idea to talk about the weather. It
’s a favourite subject
of conversation with the British.
In Spain, it
’s a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you
for dinner. People have dinner very late, and restaurants do not generally open until after
9 p.m.
In Arab countries, men kiss one another on the cheek(
脸颊). Your host may welcome you with
a kiss on both cheeks. It is polite of you to do the same.
In Japan, people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for
the first time. When a person gives you a card, don
’ t put it into your pocket right away. T
he
person expects you to read it.
Don’t forget to be careful of your body language to express something in conversation.
A kind of body language that is acceptable in one culture may be impolite in another.

You eat to stay fit and keep your body working, right? Then reading is food for your mind

imagine, think out of the box and imagine the impossible.

In the past, people just read books, only books. Today, we have books online, which makes
reading easy. The web, our new storehouse of information, is just a click away. But this in
no way has stolen the magic of reading books, the sound of their pages fluttering(
翻页)and the
smells of
⋯You can lie in bed with a book, but with a computer you possibly can't. No matter
how you read, reading is important.
Remember those bedtime stories? We read fun facts about animals, plants and the universe.
We ask "why" and "how". In books, we find the answers. Children who are introduced to reading
at an early age seem to have a better understanding of phonics(
语音学). They master language
skills
easily,
have a richer
vocabulary
and have greater
reading abilities.
Children,
who grow
up reading good books, mostly stand out. The way they think
and act is very different
from those
who have never been introduced to reading. Reading not only adds to their knowledge but also
shape their personalities.
The
more you read, the more creative
you will
become. Reading dev elops vocabulary,
improves
language skills
and sharpens( 使敏捷)your problem-solving
abilities.
Reading gives you knowledge
and make you more confident. The more you read about others' life experiences, the better
decision-maker you will become.
Reading about the importance of reading can lead you to read more, and more, and more. So
choose a book you like and don't
stop reading until you reach the end. And even after that read
as much as you can.
58.When you read, the books .
A. must be storybooks B. should be only about the importance of reading
C. must be paper books D. should be finished reading
59.The underlined(
划线的)sentence in Paragraph 2 means________
A. reading books is no longer a pleasure to people
B. reading books is less interesting than reading online
C. reading online can't take the place of
（代替） reading books
D. reading online can't be difficult for people
60.What can we infer from the passage?
A. More teenagers read online now. B. What teenagers read builds their future.
C. What children should learn first is phonics. D. More practice makes reading easier.
61.What's the best title(
标题)for the passage?
A. Why Is Reading Important?
B. What Should Teenagers Read?
C. How Is Reading Ability Improved?
D. When Should Children Start Reading?
D
The Big Lottery
is giving
money to groups of teenagers
between 14 and 19 who want to become
active
citizens.
The teenagers who would like
to help make the area you live
in better,
cleaner,
safer and more friendly can actually get money for improving your local community (
社区).We
have $ 80,000 to give away. We are looking for young people to take part in schemes(
规划) and
projects near to where they live.
Here are a few easy things you could do to get started.
Meeting the neighbors: Everybody needs good neighbors. Knock on people
’s door and find
out what they would like improving in your area. Set a date for a meeting and then make some
plans together. If you don
’t want to go round to their houses, then you could always put a
note through their doors.
Neighborhood watch: Neighborhood watch schemes are very popular in the UK. If you go away
on holiday and leave your house, it
’s very nice to know that a neighbor is keeping an eye on
it. It
’s a good way to make the area you live in safer. You could set one up easily and
quickly.(Paragraph 4)
Lending a hand: There are often elderly people living in the neighborhood who may not be
able to do the things that you can. Offer to do their shopping once a week, look after their
garden for them or maybe walk their dog.(Paragraph 5)
No littering: Nobody likes picking up other people
’s rubbis
h, but a clean street can make all
the difference. Take it in turns to go out once or twice a week and see what you can find. You
6
never know, one day you might find something valuable.
Recycling: Nearly two-thirds of your rubbish can be recycled. Some are
as already provide
places to people to recycle bottles, tins, plastic and paper. Find out if this is done in your
neighborhood. If it
’s not, do something about it.
So go
on ⋯ Just tell us what
kind of
project you
want to join i
n. Then we ’ll send you
more
details. Take positive action and help make your neighborhood a better place to live in.
62. The aim of the Big Lottery is .
A. to make the neighborhood busier B. to help the old people in the community
C. to improve the local community D. to help young babies in the neighborhood
63. Who is needed to take part in the project?
A. Anyone who wants to. B. All the teenagers.
C. Students in the neighborhood. D. Teenagers from 14 to 19.
64. Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 5 tell us .
A. neighborhood watch is good to make the community cleaner
B. how to make the community safer and more friendly
C. lending a hand means to lend some money to others
D. to help neighbors do what they wouldn
’t li
ke to do.
65. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A. Discuss plans with your neighbor for improving your area.
B. Do some shopping once a week for old people who can
’t do it.

( 每空一词) （共10 空；每空1 分，计10 分）
You love
reading,and
you're
dying
to
get
your
hands
on
a book.With the right
knowledge ,it
’s easy to choose a good book
！
Go to the library first. Answer
these questions. What writers do you like? What are your
interests? See if the library has computers. If it does ,you can use it to find a certain book
by a certain
writer,
or keywords of your interests.
If you like
a certain
book, search the book
up and read its summary(
概要).That will help you decide
if the book is right for you.
Search
your house next. Often good books are quietly
collecting
dust( 灰尘) in your own house.
Maybe you forget
about one. Probably,
you will
find some books that you can read,and they won’t
even cost you any money.
Then, ask someone to recommend a good book. You can ask your older brothers or sisters,
your mom, your dad, your best friend,
or even your English teacher.
They have something in common
with you and can often make excellent book recommendations. You should ask people that like
the same type of books, so that you can get books that match your need.
Join a book club , please. It helps you know who else likes the same books as you, and you
can read books that other members have read and have a good discussion about them.
Finally, read the first part of each book. If that holds your attention(
注意) , read a few
more pages. If it still holds your attention, then it
’s probably
a book for you. If you have
many books, this
can take much time to choose. Keep doing this
until
you have a few good books.

As new research by Oxford University
noted, "It's

to treat
people with respect

in the digital age. Their first a 88 is not "over-sharing" on social media, which means
not posting every detail about your life online, because some of us are not creative e 89
to always show off
our thoughts
and lives
on social
media. The manners also i 90 not
looking
through others'
phones and not gossiping(
说闲话) about others over messages, e 91 when
you
choose "reply all" to send a message to a group of people.
Although gossip is not h 92 chat that can make conversations exciting, it can also be
a way to spread something untrue about other people. Gossip can be even stronger
on social
media
than in real life, so it's b 93 not to gossip.
Moreover, when you have bad news for someone, do not leave text messages on social media,
chat with him or her by c 94 personal messages.
Nowadays technology has o 95 us different ways to contact others. It is important to
remember how to behave toward others online.
