It must be older than anything we have back home.Earl was looking at the wall outside the pub（酒馆）. The pubs name, The Old Swan, was on the wall. Next to the name was a wooden ships wheel and in the middle of the wheel was the name of a ship, HMS Swan. The wheel was old, Earl could tell.The next morning, Earl asked to see Tony Thatcher. The Old Swan was Tonys pub. He took Earl to his office while Candy had a coffee outside by the river. Earl said he could give Tony a lot of money for the ships wheel. He told Tony that Benjamin Cooper, his grandfather, went to America on the ship HMS Swan. But Tony said no at first. After all, the wheel was very old and it was part of the pubs past.You can think of the past, Mr. Thatcher - can I call you Tony? - or you can think of today. And with the money, Tony, you can buy a good car. Maybe a new Jaguar? And, as Ive told you, the wheel is part of my familys past too. So you could say its going back home, in a way. So, what do you say?A month later, Earl and Candy were smiling as they looked at the wall of their house in Houston, Texas. Earl thought to himself that, at last, he had a piece of his familys past. He was happy.In Portsmouth, Tony Thatcher was happy, too. He was putting his new Jaguar into his large garage（车库）. He was careful not to drive into any of the six ships wheels in the garage.

The sun makes the earth hot, but it can not make the water hot. Though the air over the earth becomes hot, the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth goes up, then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air. When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel the cool air when it moves in. You feel the wind and the wind makes you cool.Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask Why is the ocean full of salt? scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cool, it cracks (崩裂), and rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get saltier every year. scientists are not sure about the answer to the question.We know a lot about our world. But there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious(好奇的).（1）In the first paragraph, the underlined word it refers to . A . The hot air over the waterB . The cool air over the earthC . The hot air over the earthD . The cool air over the water（2）Now scientists know . A . what makes people feel cool near a lake or an ocean in summerB . everything about the oceanC . what happens to the salt in the oceanD . why the ocean does not get more saltier（3）A rock crack when . A . rain fallsB . it gets very hotC . it gets very coldD . Both B and C（4）Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage? A . The reason why people feel cool when they are near a lake or an ocean in hot weather.B . The reason why the ocean doesnt get saltier every year.C . The reason why the water in the ocean is salty.D . The reason why rocks crack.（5）The main idea of this passage is that . A . people feel cool when they are near a lake or an oceanB . scientists can explain many things, but not everythingC . scientists can explain everything about the oceanD . the salt in the ocean comes from rocks19. （25分）根据短文内容，简要回答下列问题：How do you spend your time at school?

Plogging is a mix of jogging and picking up litter, coming from the Swedish phrase plocka upp. It started as an organized activity in Sweden around 2016 and then spread to other countries step by step. For exercising, plogging is much better than simply running, because it provides changes in body movements by adding bending(弯曲), squatting(蹲) and stretching(伸展).As 2018s hottest fitness way, plogging has become popular in more than 40 countries, from the US to France and Australia to Thailand. The idea of plogging is to pay attention to environmental protection as well as physical health to care for Mother Nature as well as your body. I run a lot and I love to spend time in nature. When I find litter out in the woods, it makes me sad and a bit angry. Plogging is a natural way to do something about that, Tesch said. Its so easy to just pick up the litter and put it in the nearest bin, and it makes you feel that youre making a difference!Have you noticed people jogging while carrying trash bags recently? Or running along with hands full of dirty plastic bottles? You might do soon! Because plogging has reached China. Olivier, a Frenchman married to a Chinese girl, began promoting(促进)plogging in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, back in April. He and his wife were the only ones doing it at first, he said, but the craze soon caught on. The couple have set up a WeChat group for people to learn more about plogging. Currently there are more than 100 people from different parts of the country in the group to take an active part in the environmental movement. In honor of World Environment Day this year, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China(中国工商银行)started plogging campaigns (运动)in 280 cities, attracting 13,000 people to join in. Plogging can be done almost anytime and anywhere, and costs almost nothing. Will you take it up?（1）Whats the meaning of the word plogging? （2）Where did the activity first start? （3）Up to 2018, how many countries has the activity spread to? （4）Why can the idea of plogging become so popular? （5）How did Olivier and his wife make people learn more about plogging? 七、 书面表达 (共2题；共10分)28. （5分）请根据以下提示写一篇60词左右的短文，介绍一下你的好朋友高磊。内容提示：1.年龄及外貌；2. 喜欢的颜色； 3.喜欢的食物29. （5分）假如你是孙杰，今天是你的生日，你的家人正在准备生日晚餐。请根据以下表格信息给你的英国朋友Tim写一封60词左右的电子邮件，描述你和家人正在做什么。电子邮件格式已给出，不计入总词数。WhoWhat奶奶洗菜妈妈切菜爸爸做鱼你写电子邮件Hi, Tim,YoursSun Jie第 21 页 共 21 页参考答案一、 单选题 (共15题；共30分)1-1、2-1、3-1、4-1、5-1、6-1、7-1、8-1、9-1、10-1、11-1、12-1、13-1、14-1、15-1、二、 完型填空 (共1题；共15分)16-1、三、 阅读理解 (共4题；共47分)17-1、17-2、17-3、18-1、18-2、18-3、18-4、18-5、19-1、19-2、19-3、19-4、19-5、20-1、20-2、20-3、四、 补全短文 (共1题；共1分)21-1、五、 用所给单词的正确形式填空 (共5题；共21分)22-1、23-1、24-1、25-1、26-1、六、 六选五 (共1题；共25分)27-1、27-2、27-3、27-4、27-5、七、 书面表达 (共2题；共10分)28-1、29-1、
