There is a cabin(舱室) for the driver in the front and two or three passengers(乘客) can sit at the back. When it starts(启动), it will make the sound tuk, tuk. Thats why it is called tuk-tuk.In Thailand, tuk-tuks are everywhere in big cities like Bangkok. Why? Because they are very small, and they can go very quickly. We can also find tuk-tuks in China, Italy and some other places. One thing is very interesting, the German(德国)car maker，BMW, makes a funny-looking tuk- tuk.How can you have a nice trip by tuk-tuk? Here are two tips. First, tell the driver where you are going, and talk about the price before you leave. If you dont do that, you may pay(支付) too much money for your trip, because tuk-tuks dont have the meters(计程表).Second, dont put your feet on the rail(横杆) behind the drivers head. It is not so good to the driver.Remember the tips and youll have a nice trip in Thailand.（1）People love tuk-tuks very much because _. A . it is cheap to ride a tuk-tukB . they are small and quickC . they look niceD . they are like motorbikes（2）According to(根据) the passage, we cant see tuk-tuks in _. A . ChinaB . ThailandC . GermanyD . America（3）What does the underlined word tips mean in the passage? A . 小费B . 小建议C . 情报D . 尖端（4）What do you have to remember if you want to go by tuk-tuk in Thailand? A . Put your feet on the rail behind the drivers head.B . Talk about the price after you start your ride.C . Tell the driver where you are going before the ride starts.D . Pay extra(额外的) money to the driver after your tuk-tuk ride.19. （8分） Its good to make mistakes, and here is why.First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. Its always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you make yourself stronger? The simple answer is “You cant.” Look around you. With very few exceptions(例外), either everything you see in your world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something newAnother good thing about mistakes is this: When you are making mistakes, you are learningConsider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadnt failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didnt workFinally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why? Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some numbers of things before you succeedEvery time you make a mistake, you eliminate one of those things and are one step closer. But this all doesnt mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences(后果) of a mistake. However, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits（限度） so that in the event that it doesnt work out the way you want it to, you will be in a normal place to try againWe all have limited time and money so dont blow them all on one problem. Realize that it probably wont be perfect the first time and deal with these resources(资源) properly so you can learn, make corrections, and try it againIf you accept and use your mistakes in this way ,you can make great progress in your business and your careerThere is an old saying that goes, “If youre not making mistakes, youre not trying hard enough.”So go ahead and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And succeed（1）From the second paragraph, we can know that _A . mistakes are unnecessary for developmentB . we are afraid of trying new thingC . its common for people to make mistakesD . mistakes are better than not trying（2）The underlined word “eliminate” means _A . studyB . removeC . acceptD . solve（3）According to the article, one thing you should pay attention to about making mistakes is_A . not making the same mistakesB . accepting the punishment willinglyC . taking consequences into considerationD . trying things out one by one（4）What would the writer probably suggest we say to ourselves when we make a mistake?A . Never mind, I can always try againB . Id better stay out of troubleC . Ok! Now I can learn somethingD . Look at this mess. Anyone would be sad20. （10分）阅读理解Do you know how to talk to others politely in English? Have a look at the following.Could you give me five minutes? VS Go away.Youre really busy, but your classmate needs your help. When youre busy and cant help him or her, you cant say “Go away”. And you can say, ”Could you give me five minutes?”Excuse me. VS MoveTelling someone to move out of the way is very rude(无礼的). When someone is in your way, you should say “Excuse me”.Im afraid I cant.

Here is a list of some simple questions that you can ask your parents to see if they know the answers.Q: Why is the sky blue?A: You probably know white sunlight is made up of seven colors. While it moves in a straight line when going through space, it starts to divide as it hits “raised area” in the atmosphere. The ones with longest wavelengths pass through easily. The blue , however , can be taken in by the gas molecules (分子) because it has a shorter wavelength , which in turn scatters (使分散) it in different directions. Thats why when you look up at the sky, it appears to be blue.Q: Why does the moon sometimes appear during the daytime?A: The simple answer to that is because just like any other object it is being lit by the sun. As long as it is around 45 degrees or even 90 degrees off the sun, it will receive light and be able to be seen. The only time it is not able to be seen during its 28-day orbit (轨道) around the earth is when it is right between the earth and the sun. Thats because its back , which is not lit by the sun, is facing us.Q: Where do birds/ honeybees go in winter?A: While the bird part is quite easy, since a lot of them get together and travel, the honeybee part is likely to puzzle your parents. It turns out that these busy insects stop being that active when the temperature drops below 50F. Instead ,they get together in the lower central area of the hive （蜂巢）and form a ball around their queen. This helps keep both warm enough to survive the cold winter months.（1）The sky looks blue mainly because the color blue in the sunlight_.A . has the longest wavelength among all the colorsB . cannot be taken in by the gas moleculesC . doesnt hit “raised area” in the atmosphereD . cannot pass through space successfully（2）How long cant the moon be seen during the daytime in a month?A . 2B . 28C . 30D . 31（3）What do honeybees choose to do when the temperature drops below 50F?A . They choose to be active in the wildB . They choose to keep themselves warmC . They choose to travel to a warm placeD . They choose to get together in the upper central area of the hive（4）What is NOT explained in the passage?A . Why is the sky blue?B . Why is the moon able to be seen during the daytime?C . Why do birds travel in winter?D . Where do honeybees go in winter?四、 补全对话。 (共1题；共5分)22. （5分）根据对话内容从方框中选择能填入空白处的最佳选项补全对话，其中有两项是多余的。A：Good morningB：_A：I am Li Fei_B：My name is Wang QiangA：_B：Yes,I am.A：I am twelve_B：I am twelve tooA：_B：OK!

When you hear the name Hollywood, you probably think of excitement, lights, cameras and movie stars. Famous actors are not the only important people in the entertainment business. Directors and producers are important, too. Today, Hollywood is full of producers and directors. And it is one of the tourist destinations in America.In 1911 the small, peaceful village of Hollywood in California voted to become part of Los Angeles. Today, over 100 years later, this village has grown into the home of one of the best-known industries in the world- the American film industry.With this growth, came many well-known symbols. There is the famous Hollywood sign which stands above the hills of the town. The first sign was built in 1923. Then there is Hollywood Hall of Fame, where great actresses, actors and directors leave their footprints or handprints. Norma Tallmadge was the first actress to do this in 1927. But most famous of all are the Oscar Academy Awards(奥斯卡颁奖). In March of every year a number of actresses, actors and directors wait nervously to find out if they have won an Oscar. The 85th Oscar Academy Awards was held on February 25, 2013, in Los Angeles. Ang Lee(李安),a Chinese director won the best director again. It was his second time to win an Oscar.Nowadays it becomes more and more common for films to be made away from Hollywood itself, but it remains the home of films, and thousands of hopeful young actresses, actors, writers and directors still come to the Dream Factory every year. But not all Hollywood dreams have been happy ones- as one actress, who later died tragically(悲惨地), said, Hollywood is a place where they will pay you 500 dollars for a kiss, and 50 cents for your soul.（1）How was Hollywood in 1911? （2）What is Hollywood most famous for in the world? （3）Was the first Hollywood sign built in 1927? （4）How often are the Oscar Academy Awards held? （5）Ang Lee has won the best director twice, hasnt he? （6）How do you like Hollywood? 六、 单词拼写。 (共1题；共1分)24. （1分）The camel couldnt see the roads clearly because it was b_in its left eye.七、 书面表达。 (共1题；共5分)25. （5分）同学们，现在我们英语学科快进入复习阶段了，请你写出五个英语句子，根据自己的实际情况，制定一个英语学习计划。_第 25 页 共 25 页参考答案一、 单项选择。 (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、 完形填空。 (共2题；共30分)16-1、17-1、三、 阅读理解。 (共4题；共34分)18-1、18-2、18-3、18-4、19-1、19-2、19-3、19-4、20-1、20-2、20-3、20-4、20-5、21-1、21-2、21-3、21-4、四、 补全对话。 (共1题；共5分)22-1、五、 任务型阅读。 (共1题；共30分)23-1、23-2、23-3、23-4、23-5、23-6、六、 单词拼写。 (共1题；共1分)24-1、七、 书面表达。 (共1题；共5分)25-1、
