When people ask him how he can possibly play golf without being able to see the ball, he says he is thankful for his fathers guidance.It seems apparent that his early experience playing sports as a person with sight and muscle(肌肉) memory repeating behaviors over and over until they become second nature have also enabled Jake to hit the ball quite well.Jake was born with a rare kind of eye cancer that took away the vision from his left eye when he was a babyand eventually his right eye, in 2009, when he was 12 years old. Rather than letting the disease hold him back, Jake used his loss of sight and his faith as sources of motivation(动力).“If I was going to sit on the couch all day, feeling sorry for myself, I wasnt going to do anything. I decided that I was going to go out and persevere (坚持不懈).” he said.It was with that mind-set that the student from Orange Lutheran High School in California was able to write his first book, Open Your Eyes: 10 Uncommon Lessons to Discover a Happier Life. “Its about opening the readers eyes to their true talent in life and making sure that they use all the abilities that they have,” Jake said.Jakes father, Brian Olson, said the family is impressed with what he has done with his life, including showing people that they can get through hardships. “Your darkest hour can soon become your brightest, and with every setback, theres a setup,” Jake said. “In every one of us, theres more potential than we can ever imagine, and it really is a choice.”（1）We can learn from the article that Jake Olson .

Lets look at the words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example, “a homeless dog”, “a mad dog”, “a running dog” and “a dog catching mouse”, have negative meanings. But in western countries, dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans. In English, people use the dog to describe positive actions. For example, “You are a lucky dog.” means you are a lucky person. And “every dog has its day.” means each person has good luck sometimes. To describe a persons serious illness, they say “sick as a dog”. The word “dog-tired” means very tired. However, Chinese love cats very much. But in western culture, “cat” is often used to describe a woman who is cruel.The rose is regarded as symbol of love in both China and some western countries. People think the rose means love, peace, courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of England, America and many other countries.The words about plants and animals are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures. We can learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used.（1）“Every dog has its day.” means “_”.A . Everybody in the world is lucky.B . Each person lives his own way of life.C . If one works hard, hes sure to succeed.D . Everybody has a time in life to be lucky.（2）What can we know from the passage?A .

According to Medicine Net, bad sleeping can lead to plenty of problems such as poor concentration and mood changes. Luckily, there are some tips that can help you fall asleep quickly ad may also improve the quality (质量)of your sleep._ Daily exercise will reduce your stress and help you fall into a deep sleep. Consider doing exercise such as walking, swimming or bicycling between 5:00 pm to 7:00pm, as your body is at its finest physical condition. Then you can get a good quality of sleep at night._ Eat food that is helpful to your sleep. Take healthy food in your food list, such as milk, cheese, bananas, eggs and honey. Have a light dinner and dont eat high-fat foods, as these foods take longer to digest(消化). Keep away from chocolate and high-sugar foods before bedtime. Drink plenty of water all through the day. But remember to stop doing so by 8:00pm, or you prevent yourself from enjoying a good sleep by visiting the bathroom from time to time._ Prepare yourself for sleep and avoid eating , watching TV or doing homework in your bed. Your body will learn that when you are on your bed, its time to fall asleep. Doing other things on your bed will make it harder to fall asleep when you finish them all._ If you cant fall asleep for hours in bed, then try to review what you did during the day .Try to catch as much detail(细节) as possible. But dont think too much about anything that you worried about, since that can make falling asleep more difficult. If you finish reviewing the day, but still cant fall asleep, then go back to yesterday and even the day before yesterday. Reviewing the day can make you calm._ If you are having trouble clearing your mind , think of a relaxing and peaceful scene. For example, imagine that youre lying on the beach under the warm and pleasant sunshine, watching the waves(海浪) breaking on the rocks again and again . And it would be better if you can do deep breathing exercises while you do this.八、 短文改错。 (共1题；共5分)33. （5分）找出错误并改正Put on it, or you will have a cold.A BC D九、 书面表达 (共1题；共5分)34. （5分）假如你是李华，你的美国朋友Kate给你发微信邀请你本周某天放学后和她一起去商店买衣服。请你根据下面表格中的内容提示写一篇英语短文，告诉她你本周放学后的安排并和她商定见面时间。WhenWhat to doMondayhave a music lessonTuesdayplay table tennisWednesdayThursdaygo to Lindas birthday partyFriday要求:1）短文须包括表格中所有提示内容，也可适当发挥，以使行文连贯；2）词数60左右。第 20 页 共 20 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20分)16-1、17-1、三、 阅读下列短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最 (共4题；共32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、21-1、21-2、21-3、21-4、四、 口语运用 (共2题；共10分)22-1、23-1、五、 根据汉语提示，用单词的正确形式填空，每空一词。 (共7题；共16分)24-1、25-1、26-1、27-1、28-1、29-1、30-1、30-2、30-3、30-4、30-5、30-6、30-7、30-8、30-9、30-10、六、 选词填空 (共1题；共10分)31-1、七、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共5分)32-1、八、 短文改错。 (共1题；共5分)33-1、九、 书面表达 (共1题；共5分)34-1、
