Ukuleles come from Hawaii(夏威夷)and make bright, happy sounds. They make people think of island vacations and summer days. Even though ukuleles come from Hawaii, they are now popular around the world. One of the reasons is because they are fun and easy to play.Playing a ukulele may be easy, but making one is not. Ukuleles must be made step by step. First the head and neck are glued to the body. As soon as the glue is dry, the fingerboard is glued onto the neck. Once(一旦)that is dry, the ukulele maker sands the fingerboard to make it smooth.Next, the bridge is glued onto the body. The bridge holds the strings and allows them to make sounds. After the bridge is in place, the ukulele can be painted and decorated. The next step is to connect tuning heads to the top of the ukulele. Then finally the strings are put on the instrument. Now a player can make music.（1）According to the article, what kind of music does a Ukulele make? A . Sad music.B . Fun music.C . Difficult music.D . Unpopular music.（2）How is a Ukulele made according to the article? A . In an easy way.B . Like a big guitar.C . In several steps.D . With some strings.（3）The underlined word sand probably means . A . 撒沙B . 制作C . 烘干D . 打磨24. （25分）根据短文内容，回答下列问题： Once a king got two nice falcons(猎鹰) from his son. He had never seen such beautiful falcons before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.After several months, the king came to see how the training was going on. He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while the other one was staying on the branch(树枝) of a tree quietly without moving.The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make it fly. But none of them succeeded. One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest, an idea came to his mind. He decided to find someone who knew the natural environment well to solve the problem. Then he sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.The next morning, the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely. It is unbelievable! shouted the king. How could you make it happen?The farmer replied, Its very easy. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested.It is always the same to humans. We all have two flying wings in our hearts as well, but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we feel safe and comfortable. We wont realize we can fly so high and freely until the branch we are resting on breaks.（1）Where did the king get the falcons? （2）Why did the king ask the farmer to train the falcon? （3）What did the farmer do to make the falcon fly? （4）What do you think of the farmer? （5）To reach high, can we stay where we feel safe and comfortable? 四、 翻译句子 (共1题；共1分)25. （1分）别横跨街道除非交通灯变成绿色。（词数不限） Dont go across the street _.五、 短文填空 (共1题；共10分)26. （10分）根据短文内容和所给的中文提示, 用单词的正确形式填空.

But if pets arent suitable to a familys lifestyle or environment, they can quickly lead to problems such as stress or arguments (争执). To save yourself and your family such problems, treat this decision seriously.When choosing a pet, people must consider the familys health. Many people are allergic (过敏的) to cats and dogs. Perhaps a dog or cat with short hair will be fine. And a dog might not be the best choice for a child who is naughty (顽皮的) because the dog might bite him or her. Some people can also have problems with certain pets. Its a good idea to spend a little time with the pet around each member of the family before making your decision.Consider the quality of life of the pet, too. If a pet is used to having space to run around, it can quickly develop psychological (心理的) problems when it is kept in a small flat all day. If pets are allowed to run about in areas with lots of traffic, they can meet an early end. Cats shouldnt be brought into homes that already have large dogs because they wont be able to get along well with each other.The decision as to what kind of pet to choose is very important. If you find the right one to suit (适合) everyone in the family and their lifestyle, then its time to choose one. Remember that your decision is important because it can have effects that last for many years.Considerations When Choosing a PetParagraph Outline (要点)Supporting DetailsImportance ofchoosing a petA _ with a pet seems to be complete.Pets can bring some problems if they arent suitable to the family.The familys healthmust be consideredMany people are allergic to pets with _hair.Its not _ to choose a dog for a naughty child.Some people have problems with some pets.The pets quality of lifeYou shouldnt _a pet in a small flat if it is used to running around.Make sure the areas where pets can run about do not have a lot of traffic.If your house already has a dog, dont get a cat.Choose the right_of petFind the right one for your family because your choice can have lasting effects.七、 书面表达 (共1题；共5分)28. （5分）假如你是保罗（Paul）,你要邀请你的同学彼得（Peter）参加你的生日聚会，请根据夏敏提示的信息，完成这封邀请函。 提示：Pauls fourteen birthday party (What )Pauls house on Nanjing Street (Where)2: 30 p. m. -5: 00 p. m.
