To the south of Confucius Temple, the block is not far from Qinhuai River. Over twenty years ago, it was only a small block full of old houses and dirty, narrow roads. There were not many shops or public services. Most of the people living there were either too old or too poor to move. Things have changed since 20xxs. Because of the regulatory plan, the residence (原居民) have moved to other newly-built communities. The government has also built many clean and neat roads. A couple of old-fashioned houses have also been renewed. Both local and foreign businesses have settled down here, such as Librairie Avant-grade (先锋书店) and Starbucks.

Reading is a good hobby for all kinds of reasons.
First, reading is fun. You can always keep yourself happy if you like reading. You will never feel bored or tired.
Next, you can read a book almost anywhere---in a car, on a plane, or even in the bathroom. All you need is a book!
Another good reason for reading is that it is useful. If you read as a hobby, you will get better and better at it. And you will read faster and find it easier to understand what you read. As your reading skills improve, you will probably find your schoolwork becomes much better.
Some people say that reading is out of date. This is not true. You can read on computers, and the better you read, the better your computer skills will be.
Good readers may become writers too. They always have more things to write about.
If you wish to become a good reader, here are four important points to remember about speed of reading:
Knowing why you are reading---what you are reading to find out---will often help you to know whether to read quickly or slowly.
Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are instructions for making or doing something, solving math problems, and science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important idea.
Some things should be read quickly throughout. Examples are simple stories for enjoyment, letters from friends and news from local newspapers, which tell what was happening to friends and neighbors.
In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow or from slow to fast as you go along. You need to read certain pages quickly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas which must be remembered.
1.You can read a book ________.
A. almost anywhereB. when you are driving a car
C. only on a planeD. only when you feel bored or tired

We’ve come a long way from blackboards and chalk. Modern technology (技术) has provided us with lots of ways we can make learning more interesting. Perhaps most importantly of all, it’s also more interactive (互动).
Some kinds of tools have been developed. They make the 21st century learning experience much more interactive and interesting. Attracting the attention of students is always difficult, but these tools have made a big difference in how pupils learn.
For example, an interactive whiteboard is different from a traditional chalkboard. It allows the teachers to show images and provide sounds as well. If you imagine a large computer screen with colorful images and sounds added in, you can see why so many pupils are drawn in by what they see and hear in a modern classroom.
Various audio (声音的) tools also help to make sure that everyone can hear what the teacher has to say. In the past, if a teacher said something that a child missed, perhaps the child was too timid (胆小的) or nervous to ask them to repeat it. Now they are less likely to miss out simply because they’re sitting too far away from the teacher to hear them.
The 21st century classroom is able to teach pupils more than one thing. For example, imagine a history lesson is given in a modern classroom. How is it different from a classroom setting in the past The answer is simple. The students will not only learn about history itself, they will also learn how to use the modern equipment (设备) that helps the teacher get their messages across.
Modern technology can make teaching and learning easier. Student response (应答) system makes everyone able to express their opinions or answers without having to speak up. Since everyone can do it, the teacher can see who needs more help in other ways.
It’s clear that this kind of classroom technology is making a great difference in modern classrooms.
1.Modern technology ______ .
A. is less interactiveB. makes learning more boring
C. only uses blackboards and chalkD. provides us with many better learning ways
2.The interactive whiteboard ________ .
A. allows the teachers to show images and sounds as well
B. can’t attract pupils’ attention in the class
C. is the same as traditional chalkboard
D. is a computer screen with only black and white images
3.How can the various audio tools help in learning
A. It makes sure that everyone is less likely to miss what the teachers say.
B. It makes the timid students brave enough to ask teachers to repeat what they say.
C. It helps teachers to speak as much as they can.
D. It can only repeat what the teachers say.
4.What can you imagine a modern classroom different from the one setting the past
A. Students can learn all subjects with modern technology except History.
B. Teachers don’t have to be in the class.
C. Students can express their ideas more freely.
D. Teachers have to ask students who needs more help one by one.
5.In the last paragraph, the underlined phrase “making a great difference” means “______”.
A. making a different thing
B. playing an important role
C. not being a same thing
D. preventing us from learning

五、填空
Have you ever been to Singapore For many Chinese tourists, this small island in Southeast Asia is a wonderful place to take a holiday. On the one hand, more than seventy-five percent of population are of Chinese descent, so you can simply speak Putonghua a lot of time. On the other hand, Singapore is an English-speaking country.
Maybe you fear that you won’t be able to find anything you want to eat in a foreign country. In Singapore, however, you’ll find a lot of Chinese food. It’s easy for you to find rice, noodles, or dumplings. If you’re feeling very brave, Singapore is an excellent place to try new food. Whether you like Indian food, Western food, or Japanese food, you’ll find them all in Singapore.
One great thing about Singapore is that the temperature is almost the same all year round t seldom drops below 20℃. It’s warm and wet the whole year This is because it is so close to the equator. So you can choose to go whenever you like—spring, summer, autumn or winter! And, of course, it’s not too far from China. For those who enjoy the sun and the beach, Singapore is an ideal place.
On the northeast coast of Singapore, Changi Village is far from the noise of central Singapore. The buildings are modern, but there’s still a village terminal (晚期的) atmosphere. There’s a small, attractive seaside camp site across the Changi Creek from the bus terminal, where you can watch the planes gliding into Changi airport while relaxing on the sand.
Most large cities have zoos, but have you ever been to a zoo at night Singapore has a night zoo called the “Night Safari”. It might seem strange to go to a zoo when it’s dark. But if you’ve ever been to a zoo during the daytime, you might understand why Night Safari is so special. A lot of animals only wake up at night, so this is the best time to watch them. At the Night Safari, you can watch these animals in more natural environment than a normal zoo.
Location

It is very 1. the equator.
Population

六、单词填空
根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为81—90的相应位置上。
Children are amazing! They pick up languages so naturally and easily. Have you ever why It’s because of the way they learn.
Children learn by doing what comes naturally---they listen, copy, and talk. Let’s take a closer look at how children learn languages. Perhaps we can d1. a better, more natural way to learn English.
Listen as often as possible. When people talk to children, they often use s2. words that children can understand. That’s really important to the children’s language development. In order to learn, children must be able to understand what they hear. If they don’t understand it, it’s just m3. noise. Listen to radio or TV programs that use English at your level. If you r4.that you can’t understand every word or sentence, don’t give up. Just pay attention to what you can understand. And listen as often as you can.
Be a Copycat. Children like to copy their parents, their friends or other r5.. This helps teach them how to pronounce the language. As you listen to English, repeat what you hear as much as p6..
Use English to talk. O7. to those who usually practice grammar rules, some students use language to talk about things they are interested in. This helps them learn to express themselves d8.. They don’t worry about their small vocabulary or poor grammar.
Students should also pay more attention to real c9.. So try your best to communicate by talking with people in English. If you can’t find a foreigner to talk to, talk with other English students i10.. Start an English discussion group and talk about music, movies and so on. Don’t worry about making mistakes. You can learn English better by correcting mistakes.
