說明：本文中紅色的部分表示跟去年相比有改動的。第一部分 朗讀短文1 My neighbours are kind and helpful. Some of them are volunteers. They have different skills and often help us with all kinds of problems. Usually there is a helping hands meeting at the weekend. People go there when they need help with their problems. Computer engineers are popular. They help people check their computers. You can also find someone to fix things like broken bicycles. Students can get help with their homework. There are some college students among the volunteers, and they are always ready to help. We are lucky to live in a neighbourhood like that. People here are like a big family.2 We need to do something for giant pandas. Theyre now in danger. For example, giant pandas do not have many babies during their lives, and its easy for baby pandas to get sick and die when they are very young. Also, giant pandas mainly live on a special kind of bamboo, so the bamboo forests are very important to them. However, the bamboo forests are becoming smaller and smaller. As a result, giant pandas may not have a place to live or food to eat. There are now only about 1600 pandas in the wild. We should take action to protect them right away.3 (全新) It is so windy in spring. Many people in the street have to cover their faces with scarves. It makes them look funny. Summer is usually very hot. The high temperature makes people sleepy in the afternoon. Sometimes it is rainy. The sudden heavy rain causes a lot of problems. Autumn is the best season of the year. People are lucky to enjoy many sunny days. They like to have a short trip around the city at the weekend. Most children like winter. They are happy and noisy on snowy days. They like snowball fights. However, it is sometimes cloudy in autumn and winter. Heavy fog is not healthy for people.4 Zhalong Nature Reserve is in North-east China. It is one of the worlds most important wetlands. The area provides food and cover for a lot of wildlife. It is a perfect place for some rare birds. Some people want to make the wetlands smaller in order to have more space for farms and buildings. This will lead to less and less space for wildlife. Now the Chinese government has made laws to protect Zhalong. Wetlands are important because they provide food and shelter for wildlife including some endangered birds, and they also help prevent floods. We must protect the home of plants, fish and birds in Zhalong.5 (全新）Dear classmates,Have you ever had any problems? Are you wondering who you can ask for advice? If so, you can write to Mr Sigmund Friend.You may wonder who he is. He is a youth worker. Do you know what a youth worker does? Mr Friend says that youth workers help young people solve their problems. They are doing a great job. Some of my friends wrote to Mr Friend and asked how they could deal with their problems. Soon they got his replies. Now they know what they should do.Best wishes,Millie6 All around the world, people drink tea. But tea does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries people have very different ideas about drinking tea. In China people like to have tea together with their friends. They drink tea at any time of the day. They put only tea leaves in their cups. They prefer tea with nothing in it. Tea is also popular in Japan. People have tea every day. But the way they drink it is different from that in China. In the USA people drink tea at breakfast or after meals. They usually use tea bags to make their tea.7Dear Sir,I would like to recommend Daniel for this years Youth Star Award.Daniel is a clever boy. He learns things quickly. He always thinks carefully when he works. He plans everything well.Daniel is really kind. Last week, a five-year-old boy lost his way and was crying in the street. Daniel saw him and took him to the police station. He stayed with the boy and played with him for two hours before the boys parents came.All the members at the Helping Hands Club think that Daniel should get the award. We look forward to hearing from you soon.Yours faithfullySandy8 （全新） Our environment is changing for the worse, so it is time for us to go green. Here are some simple steps to take at home. We can save water by taking shorter showers and turning off the tap when we brush our teeth. In order to save power, we should turn off the lights when we leave a room. Some other good habits can help reduce pollution too. We should not use plastic bags when shopping. Recycling is also a good way to help reduce pollution. We should separate waste into different groups so that it can be recycled. Follow these small steps, and you can make a big difference to the Earth!9 New York, London, Paris and many other cities are exciting places to live. There are lots of interesting things to see and do. But there are serious problems in big cities too. It is expensive to live there, and there are too many people. Every year many people move to the cities to find work, study at good schools and receive high-quality medical care. But sometimes these people cant find work or good places to live. Also it is hard to keep big cities safe and clean. So, before people move to a big city, they should think about the problems they might have to deal with there.10 Swimming is very popular in summer. People like swimming in summer because water cools them down. But if you swim in the wrong place, it may be dangerous. In the past few years many swimmers have died in the water. However, some people are still not careful enough when swimming. They often think they swim so well that nothing can happen to them. Summer is coming soon. If you go swimming, remember these two rules: dont get into the water when you are alone and dont get into the water if there is a no swimming sign. If you remember these rules, swimming will be safer.11 Dinosaurs lived on the Earth a long time ago. We now know that the first dinosaurs appeared about 230 million years ago. There were hundreds of different kinds of dinosaurs, but they didnt live at the same time. Some dinosaurs were really small. One of the smallest dinosaurs was about one metre long and weighed about three kilograms. Others were really big. Some very large ones weighed over 100,000 kilograms and some were about 40 metres long. Some dinosaurs ate plants and others ate meat, but they didnt eat grass. All dinosaurs had four legs and lived on land.12 （全新） We are going to hold a talk on good table manners this afternoon. The purpose is to teach students rules for eating. There will be a lot of advice on table manners. Above all, when you are sitting at the table, you should not start eating until everyone is ready, and it is impolite to make too much noise while you are eating or drinking. You should not eat with your mouth open or talk with food in your mouth. Before you leave the table, wait for everyone to finish. These rules are important because we should make sure that both guests and hosts are comfortable at the table.13 This years Beijing Music Awards will be covered live this Saturday. All the big pop stars will attend. Before the awards start, we will interview some of the most famous stars. Two thousand fans have voted online for their favourite songs, singers and music videos. The results will be announced during the programme and the host will ask questions for the viewers to answer. As you are watching the awards, write down your answers and send text messages to 1396. If you are lucky enough, you could win two free concert tickets.14Hello, everyone!Ive got some great news for you today.

Children wear special costumes and masks on Halloween. Many children play a game called trick or treat. They knock on their neighbours doors and shout trick or treat. Their neighbours usually give them some candy as a treat. If the children do not get any candy, they can play a trick on their neighbours. Some people also make lanterns out of big orange pumpkins. They cut out the eyes, the nose and the sharp teeth. They put candles in them so the light shines through the eyes, the nose and the teeth.16Dear Mr Wu,I did a survey this Wednesday. Students were asked about their daily habits.Here are the results of the survey. Only 20 students usually take showers for less than 10 minutes, but 35 students turn off the tap when brushing their teeth. Only 15 students recycle empty bottles, but 40 students use both sides of the paper. It is great that most students remember to turn off the lights when they leave a room, but few students take their own bags to the supermarket.The survey shows that students are doing a lot to help protect the environment, but there are still many more things they can do.Sandy17Dear Millie,Thank you for your letter. I hope I can offer you some useful advice.You said you often stay up late to finish all your homework. Plan your day carefully. Make a list of all the homework you have. Then work out how much time you need to finish it all. This will give you an idea of how much spare time you have.You also said that you do not have enough time for your hobbies. What about choosing your hobby according to the time you have?I hope you think my advice is worth taking.Best wishes,Helen18 （全新） Yesterday we visited the Summer Palace and spent about three hours in it. The palace is a large Chinese garden set in a natural landscape and mainly includes a hill and a lake. The lake is very big - it takes up three quarters of the area. It was frozen, so we could not row a boat there. It was really a pity. Across the lake is a 17-hole bridge. There are over 50 stone lions on both sides of it. The lions are all different from each other. Isnt it amazing? The Summer Palace was once a nice place for the emperors to spend the summer and it was well worth a visit.19 I have to choose a new colour for my bedroom. It is a very important decision, because colour can change a persons mood. I like orange, because its a happy, warm colour. It can make people feel comfortable. My best friend Jack doesnt agree though. He thinks green is better. Jack says that green represents nature and that it can make you feel energetic. I remind Jack that green is also the colour of envy. My mother recommends blue. She thinks blue creates a feeling of harmony, so it will make me less stressed and help me relax after school. Perhaps she is right.20 My ideal school starts at 8 a.m. and finishes at 3 p.m. I love sports and computers, so we have PE and computer studies every day. The classes are quite small. There are about 20 students in each class. There is a big dining hall, where we can eat and chat with our friends. There is a park on one side of our school and a shopping mall on the other. We have a big library. We also have a tennis court and a swimming pool. There are lots of clubs and after-school activities. Every month, we go on a school trip to a museum or a theatre.21Dear Sandy,I have just listened to a programme on the radio. It was about a new CD-ROM pack called Daily English. It is a new course from Australia. The pack includes a book and five CD-ROMs. It is very good for tourists and students. Im sure we can learn a lot from it. We can learn about how to use the telephone and how to ask and answer questions. We can also learn to talk about the weather and the time. The course covers many topics, such as travel and hotels, food and drink, and shopping and money.I am going to order a pack online. Do you want me to order one for you too?RegardMillie22 （全新） I love reading. I spend over seven hours a week reading different types of books. On weekdays, I usually read for about half an hour before going to bed. I read a lot at the weekend. I am interested in history books, but I like novels best. The four great classical Chinese novels are my favourite. I get most of my books from Sunshine Library - it is just opposite my home. My friends give me lots of advice on books. We often meet together and discuss what to read. Reading is always a wonderful time. Good books are good friends. They also open up a whole new world to me.23 Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying, Friends are Gods way of taking care of us. But how do you find real friendship and keep it? First, you should choose a friend. A good friend should be kind and helpful. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help. But friendships are not always perfect. Even best friends have fights. When you have a fight with your friend, try to talk to him or her. If he or she doesnt want to talk, dont be sad. You could write a letter instead.24 （小改動） Twenty years ago, mobile phones were rather expensive. Only important or rich people had them. However, these days more people have them in their hands, even high school students. It is true that mobile phones can be very useful. They are an easy way to keep in touch with friends and family members anywhere and at any time. But we also hear mobile phones ringing in places like classrooms, cinemas and museums. The sound is very loud and can disturb people. Some drivers have accidents because they use their mobile phones while driving. So, are mobile phones really a good thing?25Dear John,How are you? I left school early yesterday because the snowstorm started again in the afternoon and it got worse later.This morning I read a newspaper article about a car accident. A man named Su Ning called 110 at 7.40 p.m. using his mobile phone. His car crashed into a tree while he was driving in the snowstorm. He and his wife were trapped in the car. The snow was heavy and it covered everything. The policemen arrived at once and sent them to hospital. Luckily, they were not hurt.What about London? Do you have snowstorms there? Please e-mail me soon.Maggie26 Yao Ming was born in Shanghai in 1980. He got his first basketball when he was only four years old, but he did not become serious about basketball until he was 12. Yao joined the Houston Rockets in 2002 and became the best Chinese player to have ever played in the NBA. When Yao Ming lived in the USA, he returned to China whenever he was needed. He took part in the Olympics in 2004 and in 2008 as one of the Chinese athletes. Since he ended his basketball career, Yao has done a lot of charity work, especially for poor Chinese teenagers.27 UNICEF was set up in 1946 to help children after the war in Europe. Now, UNICEF helps children all over the world. It works in 158 countries. It helps governments and families make the world a better place for children. UNICEF gets its money from donations. It raises money by selling Christmas cards and organizing other fund-raising activities. People can help UNICEF by doing voluntary work. UNICEF believes that all children should have clean water and food so that they can be healthy. It also believes that they should go to school instead of working to support their families.28 （去年的第12篇）Hi everybody!My name is Lucy. I am in Year 9 at Woodland School near London. It is a mixed school. Boys and girls have lessons together. My favourite subject is French. Learning foreign languages is fun.Our school has a Reading Week every year. During the week, we can borrow more books from the school library. We can also bring in books and magazines from home. I often read more books than my classmates. Near the end of the week, we discuss the books with our classmates in class. Time seems to go faster when we are reading interesting books.29 （全新） In the Chinese lunar calendar, there are 12 animal signs. Each of them represents a lunar year. It is said that the animals held an exciting race to decide their order. After the race began, the strong, hard-working Ox took the lead. Suddenly, the clever Rat jumped on the Oxs back and won the race! The Ox came second, the Tiger third, and so it went. The Pig took his time and came last. The cycle of animal years repeats every 12 years. Some people believe that people born in the same animal year may share similar characteristics. For example, they believe people born in the Year of the Dragon are powerful and energetic.30 （全新） Kites have a long history in China. The Chinese began to make kites over 2,000 years ago. The first kite in history was made out of wood by Mozi. His student Lu Ban used bamboo to make kites. In the Eastern Han dynasty, Cai Lun found a new way to make paper, and then people began to use paper to make kites. In the 13th century, an Italian man called Marc Polo visited China. He told people in the West all about kites. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, kite flying became a very popular outdoor activity. People liked to fly kites on sunny, windy days in spring.第二部分 話題簡述1-11.杰克是一名八年級學(xué)生，就讀于倫敦附近的一所學(xué)校；2.他最喜歡的學(xué)科是中文課，他認(rèn)為學(xué)習(xí)外語很有趣；3.學(xué)校每學(xué)期有一個讀書周，他和他的同學(xué)們喜歡這個讀書周，他們可以讀到來自學(xué)校圖書館的許多書和雜志；他很喜歡他的學(xué)校。Jack is a Year 8 student at a school near London.
