National Smile Month is the largest and longest mouth health activity in the UK. Starting in 1977, it is celebrating its 42nd birthday from May 14 to June 14 this year.
The British are known for their bad teeth because they have too many sugary (甜的) foods and drinks. It seems that most of them don’t often show their feeling. They neither smile nor cry. But this is NOT true. The British like to smile as much as anyone else. They just don’t want to show their bad teeth.
Brush your teeth at least twice a day, cut down sugary foods and drinks, and visit the dentist often. With the three messages, the organizers (组织者) hope that a month of smiling will make people all around the UK realize the importance of good teeth and be confident enough to open their mouths to smile.
One interesting activity is for the British to enjoy the fun photos with short stories behind. Seeing the smiling faces and reading the interesting stories, everyone can’t help smiling! You’re welcome to send yours with big smiles online.
Smiling is not only good for you but also good for those around you, even if you do have a few bad teeth. This makes National Smile Month a great idea!

Dear Li Hua,
How’s everything going? Congratulations on your graduation from junior high school!
I hope you have a great time during the holiday, but you have something important to think about —a plan for your personal growth. Here are some advice for you.
Firstly, study yourself. Understand what you like, what you value and what you want to be. In studying yourself, you check your strength (长处) and weakness. Find out what you need to prepare for your dream job.
Secondly, write down your plan. When writing, you can try using Mind Maps (思维导图). It is a good way to help you to think more clearly. And you may find a proper way to work your plan out.
Thirdly, go over your plan with your teachers, parents or friends. They may give you some advice. Think carefully about their advice and make some changes to your plan if necessary. And then you can go on with it.
Finally,   54     . For example, if you want to be an English teacher in the future, you should spend more time reading English books, learning more about English culture and practicing your listening and speaking from now on. You can make your dream come true only through hard work.
You may find it difficult to make the plan now. Don’t worry. All you need is just a rough (粗略的) one. Once you enter the senior high school, you’ll get a chance to make it better with help of development. So take your time and I believe you will grow into an excellent young man.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Fang

As the saying goes, “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” This is the way the charity organization Heifer International (国际小母牛慈善组织) wants to end world hunger.
It began in the 1930s when an American farmer, Dan West, went to Spain to help people in need. He tried to feed the people with milk. But it seemed that there would never be enough milk. It made him think that what they needed was “not a cup, but a cow”.
Dan West returned to America. He worked together with some friends to find ways to end hunger. He believed giving animals and providing training would stop world hunger. With his help, Heifer International was set up.
On Heifer International’s website, you will see a list of animals like cows, chickens, pigs and even fish and bees. You can offer help by buying some animals for one certain family. Those animals will have babies get better lives, they will pass on the act of kindness to others. More importantly, you are buying the resources (资源) for programs run by Heifer International to help more families.
The programs also help small-sized farms. As a rule, each farmer must give his animal’s first female (雌性) baby to another in need. Heifer International also provides training on animals’ health and feeding. And these farmers all agree to teach others what they have learned as another rule.
However, there is still a long way to go. The milk may run out. But if families have their own cows, they can get plenty of milk to feed themselves. The organization wants the farmers to go on working together, helping each other and learning from each other. Maybe hunger can really be stopped.
57. According to the passage, we know that Dan West __________.
   A. set up a team in Spain             B. helped people with enough fish
   C. was a Spanish farmer             D. helped set up Heifer International
[答案] D
[考点] 事实判断题
[解析] 根据第3段知道是在美国成立不是西班牙故A错；根据第4段内容知道是节目来帮助人们，不一定是本人了，故B错误；根据第2段的an American farmer知道C错；根据With his help, Heifer International was set up.知道D正确。
58. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the charity organization Heifer International?
   A. Heifer International makes a list of animals on its website.
   B. Farmers in the program must teach others how to feed animals.
   C. Farmers in the program must give all the animals’ babies to others.
   D. Heifer International provides training on animals’ health and feeding.
[答案] C
[考点] 归纳判断题
[解析] 根据第4段首句知道A正确；根据第5段的these farmers all agree to teach others what they have learned as another rule.知道B正确；根据第5段的each farmer must give his animal’s first female (雌性) baby to another in need.知道C错在all babies上；根据第5段的Heifer International also provides training on animals’ health and feeding.知道D正确。
59. If we put the passage into four parts, which of the following is the best?
(○1=Para. 1  ○2=Para. 2  ○3=Para. 3  ○4=Para. 4  ○5=Para. 5  ○6=Para. 6)

C. ○1○2; ○3; ○4○5; ○6            D. ○1○2○3; ○4; ○5; ○6
[答案] A
[考点] 文章结构
[解析] 第一段总体介绍，第二段去西班牙帮助，第三段发觉问题回国成立慈善组织，第四段通过网站进行帮助，第五段在网站开设培训节目，第六段未来的方向，因此该文的结构应该是2、3段和4、5段意思分别紧密，各自成为一部分更合理。

Reading is fun. When you read, would you like a paper book or an e-book(电子书)? Some people choose e-books, some love paper books, and others prefer reading both.
Li Ming, a university professor (教授), is busy doing some research. So he is often on business. When he is at the airport or on the train, he especially loves reading e-books. He also likes reading paper books in the library for the research work. Besides, he enjoys the smell of the paper books.
What’s more, Li Ming would like to read with his family. There is a reading time from 8:00 to 9:00 each Friday evening at home. Everyone reads and shares what they learn from the books. One Friday evening, Grandma took out an old paper book and said to her grandson, “Li Lei, this is the first book your grandpa gave me. There is his name on the front page. Whenever I read it, I can get something new from his notes. And I can still remember the happy life we lived together.” Li Lei said, “But I enjoy reading e-books. E-books need no paper. Many forests will be saved.” Grandma advised, “Don’t read for a long time, or your eyes will get sore.”
Different people have different ideas about e-books and paper books. No one knows whether e-books can replace (代替) paper books or not. Somehow, books are our friends. No matter which kind of books you choose to read, you can learn more about the world through them.

[解析] 句中关键词can是情态动词，有情态动词的否定直接在其后加not，然后动词直接照抄，故答案为can’t play。
71. We will travel to the Great Wall after the exam. (对划线部分提问)
   ____________  _______________ you travel after the exam.
[解析] to the Great Wall到长城是地点，对地点提问用疑问词where，同时句中的will是情态动词，在变疑问句时须提前，故答案为Where will，注意where的w须大写。
72. Why don’t you watch a talk show?  (改为同义句)
___________  ________ watch a talk show?
[解析] “为什么不……”的建议句的另一表达方式是省to的不定式，即Why don’t you v …? = Why not v …? 故答案为Why not。
73. 不要害怕犯错误，你能从中学到很多。 （完成译句）
    Don’t be afraid to ___________  _____________. You will learn a lot from them.
[解析] 根据句意及英语缺少句子中的“犯错误”这一个考纲掌握短语，即make mistakes，再由不定式符号to，故动词为原形。
74 我们应该学好英语，以便能向世界讲述中国故事。（完成译句）
   We should learn English well _________  _________ we can tell China stories to the world.
[解析] 根据句意及英语内容缺少连词“以便”，再由后面的we can …是句子，那么表达此连词意义的有“so that, in order that”，如此符合要求的答案只有so that。

VIII．短文填空。(每空2分，共16分)
根据下面短文内容，在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词，使短文完整、通顺。
We all know that a good night’s rest helps us stay healthy. After we sleep for 7 or 8 hours in bed and   75    up next morning, our mind is better prepared to memorize and learn something.
But what about getting a rest during the middle of the day?
Scientists say, “Short periods of sleep, napping (小睡), may help learning and memory. Napping can help young children learn better. It can   76    help older people remember longer.”
Take China as an example. Chinese people are used to napping after lunch.
Recently researchers made a survey among nearly 3,000 Chinese people over 65 years old. The researchers asked them    77   they napped and for how long. They found that about 60 percent of them took a nap and they napped for 60 to 90 minutes. The research shows that napping for about an hour is the best.
However, these are the findings for those    78   the age of 65. Doctors say that napping for about an hour may be too    79     for young and healthy people. And they believe that half an hour is enough to    80   young and healthy people from feeling tired. By doing so,    81    will help them stay awake.
Doctors also say, “If you have trouble falling asleep at   82   , take a daytime nap for less than 45 minutes and don’t nap after 3 p.m. in the afternoon.
75. [答案] wake
[考点] 动词短语
[解析] 根据本句前半部分sleep，那第二天早晨当然是起床或本来，故此题get也应该正确。
76. [答案] also
[考点] 副词
[解析] 根据空前的前面两句话均表达可以帮助……，那接着也（还）是帮助，本题too不可接受。
77. [答案] if /whether
[考点] 连词
[解析] 根据后面句子发觉的结果或结论得知是询问是否小睡和睡多长时间，英语中的是否是if或whether,注意不要写成天气weather。
78. [答案] over
[考点] 介词短语
[解析] 根据上段中的nearly 3,000 Chinese people over 65 years old和however知道是相对于65岁以上的人来说的，注意不要受固定短语at the age of的影响而错填at。
79. [答案] long
[考点] 形容词
[解析] 根据78题解析知道65岁以上的人睡1个小时是很好的，但对年青人或健康的人却是睡久了，这从后面的half an hour is enough更证实了睡长了，另外在最后一段的for less than 45 minutes也能得到答案，此空实际上填much也是可以。
80. [答案] stop
[考点] 句型搭配
[解析] 根据句型stop / keep /prevent sth. /sb. from doing 阻止某人或某事不做某事，句意为让年青人不感到疲累小睡半小时就够了。
81. [答案] it
[考点] 代词
[解析] 根据句意什么帮助保持清醒，显然根据上文是小睡半小时这件事，那就应该用形式主语it来代替。
82. [答案] night
[考点] 名词
[解析] 根据后面的daytime和本句的fall asleep知道应该是晚上。注意evening不可接受，此处不能与at搭配。
