第一节 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。（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

A

Fights at school sometimes happen. But how can you keep away from a fight? Here’s something you can do.

Be calm(冷静). Sometimes, you feel so angry that you really want to teach somebody a lesson. But being angry can’t solve problems. Neither can a fight. Instead, it may bring you more problems. In the school, everyone involved(卷入) in a fight will be punished, no matter who started it. There are no winners in a fight. Shout loudly. If you know someone is coming up behind you to attack, turn toward the person with your hands up in front of your body and loudly say “stop”, before walking away. Loud voice can usually make the attacker calm down. If the person doesn't stop, cry for help by calling out the name of a teacher whose office is nearby.

▲ Your friend may ask you to join in a fight. Learn to say no. Helping him fight is not really helpful to him. If you really want to give him a hand, try to ask him to give it up. Also, you can tell him if he gets involved in a fight, he may get hurt and be punished. Then, try to learn why he wants a fight and help him find a right way to deal with the problem.

36. The underlined word “attack” in Paragraph 3 means “_______” in Chinese. A. 拥抱

B. 攻击

C. 阻止

D. 吸引

37. Which of the following sentences can be put in the ▲ ? A. Face bravely.

B. Join in a fight.

C. Learn to refuse. D. Talk to someone.

38. The passage is written to _______.

What does it take to graduate from university? Some papers or high scores in exams? Well, these are not enough if you are a student at Tsinghua University. According to a new rule of the university, students must prove(证明) themselves in the swimming pool. They need to pass a swimming test of at least 50 meters, and those who fail the test will be required to take a swimming course

C. ￥175

D. ￥210

throughout their school years. By the time they graduate, they will have known how to swim; otherwise they can't graduate with their bachelor's degrees(学士学位).

The news made waves in Chinese social media (媒体). Some people praised the university for requiring a necessary skill that can save lives, and they also believed that the rule would help improve students' health. However, others questioned if it was fair to expect those who come from inland cities(内陆城市) to be able to swim.

In fact, this is not a new rule. Tsinghua University first made swimming a requirement in1919 but later gave it up because the number of students became too large and there were not enough swimming pools in the school for them to learn swimming.

Anyway, it is still good news that Chinese students' health has become more and more valued. Why not just take this chance to lean one more life-saving ability?

43. According to the passage, what does it take for a student to graduate from Tsinghua university? A. Some papers.

B. High scores in exams. D. All of the above.

C. Passing a swimming test.

44. The underlined phrase \"made waves\" in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______.

A. caused a heated discussion C. made a requirement

B. spread widely D. proved the rule

45. Why did Tsinghua University once give up the rule? ① Because many students failed the swimming test. ① Because some people disagreed with the rule. ① Because there were too many students.

① Because there were not enough swimming pools. A.①①

B.①①

C.①①

D. ①①

46. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Different people hold different opinions about a new rule. B. Tsinghua University has made a new rule of graduation. C. Chinese students' health should be more and more valued. D. There is a new chance to lean another life-saving ability.

D

In many countries around the world, May1st is a holiday which is called Labor Day or Workers’ Day. It is an interesting holiday that honors working people and their jobs. But do you know how it started?

During the late 1880s, in many parts of the world, people worked for fourteen to sixteen hours a day in factories but made very little money. Later, in the United States and Canada, working people get together to set up unions(工会) .The union leaders asked factory bosses for shorter working time and higher salaries(工资), but many of the bosses refused their ideas .

On May1st , 1886, men and women in the United States and Canada stopped working and went onto the streets. They walked through cities and towns to force bosses to let them work eight hours a day. In the city of Chicago, several people died in fighting with the police. Over the next few years, people in cities around the world stopped working on May1st to honor workers everywhere. By the early twentieth century, the first of May became a national holiday in many countries. However, in the United States and Canada, May 1st is not a holiday. North Americans celebrate Labor Day on the first Monday in September. Today in the United States, Labor Day is mostly about having fun. People enjoy a long weekend and often celebrate it by having picnics with friends or family. In many parts of the United States, Labor Day is also the last day of summer vacation, and students return to school the next day.

47. How long did people work a day in factories in the late 1880s? A. For 8-10 hours B. For 10-12 hours

C. For 12-14 hour D. For 14-16 hours 48. What does the underlined word \"force\" mean?

A.感激 B.迫使 C.宣扬 D.欣赏 49. Which is the right order( 顺序) of the following events? ①Working people began to fight for better life. ①People stopped working on May1st to honor workers. ①Working people set up unions

A①①① B.①①① C.①①① D.①①① 50. How do people often celebrate Labor Day in America nowadays? A. By working all day.

B. By giving gifts to working people. C. By having fun with friends or family. D. By having a big ceremony.

第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Now students’ English handwriting(书写)gets worse and worse. That makes their teachers feel worried. Is your English handwriting beautiful? 51 Use paper with lines

When you write English words or sentences, you can use paper with lines. That will make your handwriting straight. 52 Be sure to fill the lined space completely. And make sure these capital letters (大写字母) are written properly.

Slow down

If your writing is hard to read, just slow down a little. 53 If you write too quickly, it's hard for you to stop where you should, and you may make more mistakes easily.

54 When you hold your pencil in the correct way, writing is much better. Some kids press down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting bad. Try to be relaxed and don’t hold the pencil so hard. Let your writing appear nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student with a good habit.

Draw more pictures

55 While you are drawing pictures, you need to use the skills to control (控制) your pencil better. Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by drawing at home.

Handwriting is very important. Imagine you are a famous movie star or a well-known sports player, what do you do when your fans run up to you? Give them your autographs (亲笔签名) , of course!

A. If not, here are four steps that really work! B. Hold your pencil right. C. Drawing can improve your handwriting. D. Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the right size. E. Going slower makes your handwriting clearer.
