It was Mar’s birthday. She got a letter from her uncle. “Dear

Mary,” he wrote in the letter. “Happy birthday! I’m sending you some

chickens. They are arriving tomorrow. I hope you'll like them. Uncle

Toddy."

Mary was very happy. She liked eating eggs and chicken. “I can

keep the chickens for their eggs or eat them,” she thought.

When the chickens arrived the next day, they were all in a box. Mary took the box off the

truck(卡车)and began to carry it into her garden, but the box of chickens was so heavy that she

dropped it.

The chickens all ran out. They ran here and there. Mary spent hours in trying to find them.

A few hours later her uncle came. He asked, “Did the chickens arrive safely?” “Yes, but I

dropped the box. The chickens ran everywhere. It took me the whole morning to look for them,”

Mary said.

“Did you find them all?” asked her uncle. “I hope so,” Mary answered, “ but I only caught

eleven of them.”

“That's very interesting. I only sent you six,”her uncle said with a smile.

Read people’s character（性格） from their ears

The size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other parts of the face.

Other parts of the face change shape as we get older. But ears do not change their shape.

They only change in size.

Reading people’s character from their ears is an old science. In very old times

people thought that a person with big ears had a very good and generous character.

They thought that a person with pale (nearly), small ears was very dangerous. They

also thought that the shape of the ear showed a person was musical or not. Today, too,

many people believe that the size and shape of the ear help you know if a person is musical（有音

乐天赋的）.

Ears are all different, and each characteristic has a meaning. Next time when you look at a

person, see if his ears are large or small. Look at the lobes (the lowest part of the ear). Are they

attached（附上……的） to the face? Ears that are always red mean a person may easily get angry,

or he / she just has high blood pressure（血压）. Ears that are always cold and pale mean a person

has a nervous（神经紧张的） character. And a big inside hole of the ear means a person is musical.

1. In the old times people might ask for help from a person with ______.

A. red ears B. big ears C. small ears D. pale ears

2. This passage is mainly about ______.

A. the size of the ears B. musical ears

C. ears are related to characters D. our faces and ears

3. From the passage, we know _____ change shape as we get older.

A. ears B. hair C. eyes D. teeth

4. We can guess Beethoven（贝多芬） may have ______.

A. pale ears B. white ears

C. small ears C. a big inside hole of the ear

5. If you are often late for school, you may find the ears of your teacher ______.

A. get bigger B. get smaller C. get colder D. get redder

IV. 书面表达。

写一篇文章来介绍你的同学小明，他的爱好是旅游，他去过很多地方，旅游使他增长了

很多知识。

答案与解析：

I. 单项选择。

1. B. 在否定句中表示“也”要用either，肯定句表示“也”要用too。它们都放在句子的末尾。

2. B。在动词mind的后面用动名词形式作宾语，在回答Would you mind doing something?的

时候，如果表示不介意用Certainly not；如果表示介意用Sorry, you’d better not.

3. C。从句子的意思可知，用think of 表示“认为、觉得怎么样”。

4. B。在动词enjoy的后面用动名词形式作宾语。

5. A。修饰不定代词的形容词要放在不定代词的后面。

6. D。“agree with sb.”意思是“同意某人的意见”；故本题选D。

7. C。句意为“她爸爸喜欢Sports World，但她妈妈不喜欢。”，由此可知，本句时态是一般

现在时，因为前后两句主语均是第三人称单数，故答案是C。

8．C。 hope to do sth. 意为“希望做某事”，为固定用法。

9．C。 根据题干的第二句可推知，这本书很无聊，故排除A、B两项。boring用来修饰或

描述物；bored用来修饰或描述人，故选C。

10．D。be famous for 意为“因……而出名”为固定搭配。

11．A。本句为there be 句型，首先排除C、D两项，news为不可数名词，故be动词用is，

故选A。

12．C。doesn’t 和can’t 后都要跟动词原形，故选C。

13．B。题干想要表达的是“或许”的意思，C、D两项无此意思，may be 在句中作谓语，题

干中并不缺少谓语，故可排除；maybe 是副词，做状语，符合要求。

14．D。 expect sb. to do sth．意为“盼望某人做某事”，为固定用法。

15．C。 根据答语的第二句中的but可推知，回答者不喜欢看肥皂剧。故选C。

II. 完形填空。

1.C。前文中的a big box有提示，所以答案为C项。

2.A。“只有一件事情你不能做：不要打开这个盒子。”说完这些，他离开了家。根据下文可

以做出推断。

3.C。everything一切事物，nothing什么都没有；something某物；anything任何东西。句意：

盒子里一定有贵重的东西，让我们打开看看吧，好吗？

4.D。她的丈夫不想那样去做，但是这位妇女没有放弃。使用but表示转折。

5.B。suggestion建议；decision决定；mistake错误；living生活；生存。答案为B项，make

a decision to do sth.表示“下决心做某事”。

6.C。前文提到原以为里面有贵重的东西，但打开一看，却是空的，这时应该感到“惊奇”，

所以答案为C项，to one’s surprise表示“令某人惊奇的是……”。

7.A。打开盒子后发现什么都没有，这时应该是努力地“合上”盒子，所以答案为A项。

8.B。第一段提到老人嘱咐这位夫妇不要打开盒子，但他们打开了，所以应该“生气”。

9.D。这位妇女说：“盒子里什么都没有，我们没有拿走任何东西”，所以答案为D项。A项

意为“借”，B项意为“打碎”，C项意为“卖，出售”。

10.A。句意：盒子不重要，现在我知道我不能再信任你们，这才是重要的。注意前句The box

is not important.的提示。

III. 阅读理解。

A篇

1. B。由文中第一段第二句可知应选B。

2. A。由文中第二段第一句可知玛丽非常高兴。

3. B。由文中第三段是了后一句可知箱子掉下来是因为它太重了。

4. D。由文中第五段最后一句可知应选D。

5. D。 由文中倒数第一、二段玛丽和她记叙的对话中，我们可知玛丽不知她叔叔给她寄了

多少只鸡。

人慷慨大方。

2. C。综合分析题目和全文可知，这篇文章主要讲的是耳朵和性格的关系。

3. C。根据第一段的“Other parts of the face change shape as we get older”.可知，随着年龄的

增长，脸部（除了耳朵之外）的其它部分会改变形状。头发、牙齿不算脸的一部分，所以选

C正确。

4. D。贝多芬当然有音乐天赋了，根据最后一段的“And a big inside hole of the ear means a

person is musical.”可知，贝多芬可能有这样的耳朵。

5. D。根据最后一段的“Ears that are always red mean a person may easily get angry.”可知，如

果你经常迟到，你的老师当然要生气了。一生气耳朵就变红了

参考范文

Xiao Ming，my classmate，is interested in traveling very much. He has been to many places

and learnt a lot about Chinese history.

He has been to Inner Mongolia where a lot of cows and sheep are on the grassland and the

sky is big and blue. Shanghai is another city he has been to，which is a modern city with high

buildings and wide roads.

However in Xiao Ming’s heart，Tibet is a quite different place from others. A lot of people

live in the mountains and it’s difficult to go to school. Xiao Ming said he would work hard and

change the people’s life in Tibet.
