A
In ancient times(古代), people thought that their gods(神) lived on the tops of mountains. They believed that anything above them was nearer to their gods than them. They thought that birds were messengers(信使) from the gods. There were many beliefs(信念) about how to treat birds. Some people even believed that killing a bird was an act against the gods and would bring bad luck. In some parts of the United States, people believe that if they hear an owl(猫头鹰) in the early evening,
14
it means death. Another link(联系) with these past beliefs is in an English expression. People no longer believe that birds are messengers of the gods, but when someone knows a secret about another person, he or she might say, "A little bird told me about it."
( ) 1. In ancient times birds were thought to be_______.
A. the ones bringing news from the gods B. gods, too

If you want to watch and know something about birds, you must find a good place near the bird nest（巢）.
Birds sit on eggs and take care of their babies from April to June. Because the baby birds are too young to leave the nest, parents often go to look for food and come back in several minutes. So it is good to watch birds. When we watch birds, we’d better hide ourselves in a close place to the nest, and it’s better to use binoculars .
But how to make a bird nest? A good bird nest must be very fine, strong, thick and comfortable. If you want to make one, please follow these:
a) Each nest must have six boards (木板). Don’t make the boards too slippery (滑).
b) Dig a small hole in the front of the nest as a “door”. The “door” is big enough so birds can fly in or out easily.
c) Make sure the rainwater can’t go into the nest.
d) One piece of the board should be easy to open.
e) Don’t forget to color the nest.
( )3. The most important thing in watching birds is to .
A. look for a place near the bird nest B. climb up to the trees
C. catch a bird D. kill a bird
( )4. We have to hide ourselves to ___ , when we’re watching birds.
A. take better care of them B. use the binoculars
C. make them do everything as usual D. kill them at last
( )5. We should leave a hole in the front of the nest so that easily.
A. we can clean the nest B. birds can fly in or out
C. we can hang（挂） D. we can make it
C
There was once a man who couldn't sleep well because he was afraid that there was a stranger under his bed. He thought that as soon as he went to sleep, the stranger would come out from the bed and rob(抢劫) him. He was worried that the stranger might even kill him!
Every night, after he got into bed, the man had to get up again and looked
14
under the bed. There was never anyone there, but as soon as he got back into bed, he had to get up and looked under the bed again. This went on for hours until at last he fell asleep from exhaustion.
The time came for the man to get married. He didn't tell his wife about his fears but she soon found out because he kept her awake all night.
"You must go to see a doctor," she told him. "He will make you become well. You won't have such silly fear again."
The man did as his wife told him. He told the doctor his problem, and the doctor said, "You can be well again, but it will take about two years. You must come and see me three times a week. The cost for each visit will be $ 75. "
The next day the man called the doctor and said, "l won't need to visit you again. I'm well now."
The doctor was amazed. "How?" he asked. "Who made you get well?"
"My wife did," the man said. "When I told her how much I would have to pay you, she cut the legs off the bed."
( )6. What did the man think was under the bed at night?
A. A god. B. A person. C. His wife. D. A neighbour.
( )7. When did the man start having his sleeping problem?
A. After he got married. B. After he saw the doctor.
C. Before he married his wife. D. After he got a new bed.
( )8. What does the underlined word "exhaustion" mean in this story?
A. Bad air. B. Medicine.
C. happiness. D. Feeling very tired.
( )9. How much would the man pay the doctor every week?
A. $75. B. $150. C. $225. D. $900.
( )10. What made the man get well again?
A. Talking to the stranger. B. Having no space under the bed.
C. Taking medicine from the doctor. D. Sleeping with the light on at night.
四、任务型阅读 阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容完成表格中所缺信息，在答题卷上相应的横线上填写答案，每空限填一词。(本大题共5分，每小题1分)
Now students’ English handwriting（书法）gets worse and worse. That makes their teachers feel worried. Is your English handwriting beautiful? If not, here are four steps that really work!
u Using paper with lines(线条) can keep you writing straight instead of up or down when you write English words or sentences. Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the right size. Be sure to fill the lined space completely.
u If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. For some kids, going slower makes the handwriting clear. If you write too fast, it’s hard for you to stop where you should, and even worse, you may make more mistakes.
u When you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier. Try to be relaxed and don’t hold the pencil so hard while writing, and then it makes your handwriting nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a
14
student with a good habit.
u Drawing can improve your handwriting. You need to use the skills to control(控制) your pencil better when you are drawing pictures. Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by yourself at home.
How to 1 your English handwriting beautiful?
Use paper with lines
It can 2 you writing up or down.
It helps you write in the right size.
Slow down
Slow down a little to make it easier to read your handwriting.
3 too fast makes it hard to stop and may cause more mistakes.
Hold your pencil right
Write in the correct and relaxing way.
Holding too hard makes your handwriting 4 .
Draw more pictures
Drawing can make your handwriting better.
Drawing practices the skills to control your pens.
You can draw 5 at home or at school.
Conclusion
Good handwriting is important because people may guess you are a good student with a good habit.

Yancheng is a city in the north of Jiangsu . It is famous for its wetlands. The biggest wetland there has an area of more than 45,000 hectares. It’s an ideal home for many rare birds.
There are a lot of insects and many kinds of plants in the wetland. They provide birds with enough food. （So） there are lots of birds living in the wetlands. A lot of red-crowned cranes stay here all rear round.
Now the number of birds is getting smaller and smaller. We should take actions to protect our wetlands. If we don’t, it will be impossible to see many rare birds in the future.

I have a cat. Its name is Mini and it is three years old. It has short, grey fur and white paws. Its eyes are green. It weighs about two kilograms.
Usually, it eats cat food from a tin, but her favourite food is fish. It also likes milk if it is not too cold. It likes sleeping in a basket. When it is not sleeping, it often plays with balls and pieces of string.
I feed Mini every day and give it clean water. Sometimes, I brush its fur and it enjoys it very much. It never worries because we take good care of it. Mini is my good friend. I like it very much.
听第二篇短文，回答第16至20小题。
Father’s Day has a short history. It was started because there was a Mother’s Day. Some Americans thought if we had a Mother’s Day, we should also have a Father’s Day.
Now more and more countries have Father’s Day, though they don’t celebrate it on the same day. In China, the official Father’s Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June but is not a public holiday.
Now, what do people in America do on Father’s Day? The newspaper, radio, and TV tell children what they should do—buy a Father’s Day present. They even tell wives to buy Father’s Day presents—not only for their fathers but also for their husbands.
The important thing to remember about Father’s Day is that children can show their love for their fathers on this day.
