第一卷（请将答案涂在答题卡上）
第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
One day an American called Simon went to London to visit his friend, Rick. Rick told him that his flat was on the first floor. When he arrived, Simon went straight to the first floor of the building. But he was told that there was no Rick on that floor. Do you know why?
In fact, the British call the first floor of a building the ground floor. The floor above the ground floor is the first floor, which Americans would call the second floor.
The story shows that there are a few culture differences between Britain and America, though the British and Americans both speak English.
The British usually hide their feelings. They seldom start a conversation with strangers. For example, on the train the British often spend their time reading newspapers or books. But Americans are quite different. They’re more active and easier to talk with.
The British and Americans may use different terms for many things. The British usually use football, eraser and mail while Americans prefer to use soccer, rubber and post.
1. Simon went to London to ______.
A. visit his friendB. spend his holiday
C. study EnglishD. have a meeting
2. Which picture shows us where Rick’s flat was? ______.
3. According to the passage, the British usually spend their time ______ on the train. A. playing cards B. talking loudly
C. doing some reading D. singing and dancing
4. What does the underlined word “terms” mean in Chinese in the passage? ______.
A. 成果B.学期 C. 会议 D. 用语
B
Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendshipback. That is why some friendships do not last very long. To have a friend, you mustlearn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, p
eople usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may- 1 -
lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always trust one another to speak and act honestly.
Generosity (大度) means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes of course. Instead you have to learn how to share things you enjoy, like your hobbies and your interest. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend.
Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand.
No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity, and understanding. 5. Some friendships don’t last very long because ____. A. there are too many people who want to make friends B. they don’t know friendship is something serious
C. those who give others friendship receive friendship from others D. some people receive friendship but don’t give friendship back 6. The best title of this passage is _____.
A. Honesty is the Best Policy B. A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed
C. Three Important Points in Life D. Three Important Points in Making Friends 7. Which of the following isn’t mentioned in the passage? A. Always tell your friends the truth.
B. Sharing your mind with your friends is of great value.
C. Discussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve the problem. D. A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend.

The oldest and most common source of renewable energy known to man, biomass（生物质） is one of the most important forms energy production in the United States and elsewhere. Since such a wide variety of biomass materials is everywhere —- from trees and grasses to agricultural and city —- life wastes —-biomass promises to play a continuing role in providing power and heat for millions of people around the world.
According to the Union of Concerned Scientists(UCS), biomass is a kind of renewable energy source that produces no carbon dioxide(二氧化碳), because the energy it contains comes from the sun. When plant matter is burned, it gives off the sun’s energy. In this way, biomass serves as a sort of natural battery(电池) for storing the sun’s energy. As long as biomass is produced continuously —-with only as much grown as is used— the “battery” lasts forever.
According to the Energy Information Administration, biomass has been one of the leading renewable energy sources in the United States for several years running through 2007, making up between 0.5 and 0.9 percent of the nation’s total electricity supply. In 2008—-although the numbers aren’t all in yet—-wind power probably took over first place because of the rapid development of wind farms across the country.
Producing power from biomass helps reduce some 11 million tons of carbon dioxide each year. Some homeowners also try to make their own heat by using biomass materials. Such practice may - 3 -
save homeowner’s money, but it also produces a lot of pollution. So, the best way is to encourage power plants to use it.
12. Why is biomass considered as “ a sort of natural battery”? A. It burns merely plant matter.B. It keeps producing electricity.
C. It stores the energy from the sun. D. It produces zero carbon dioxide
13. We learn from the text that in 2008 ______.
A. Wind power would be the leader of renewable energy.
B. there was a rapid growth of electricity production
C. biomass might become the main energy source
D. 0.5~0.9 of power supply came from biomass
14. Why does the author encourage power plants to use biomass?
A. To prevent the waste of energy. B. To increase production safety.
C. To reduce pollution. D. To save money.
15. Where does the text probably come from?
A. A research plan.B. A science magazine
C. A book review. D. A business report.

作文答案
Dear Li Hua,
How are things going? In your last letter you talked about your recent worry about your study,
mentioning that your deskmate often interrupts you by asking questions. Now I’d like to share my opinion with you.
First of all, there’s no need to worry about your study. When you explain something to others, you can get a better understanding of it, which can improve yourself greatly. So it’s good for you. Secondly, as we all know, everyone has strengths as well as weaknesses. Although your deskmate is not good at lessons, he might do well in other fields like sports or arts. Therefore, you can learn from each other. In addition, top students can help slower ones gain self-confidence by helping them with their lessons. It may help develop a friendship that both of you will treasure all your life. I hope my advice can help you. And best luck with your learning.
