And you don’t need to come back to the game on Saturday.” There would be an important match on Saturday.

“Coach, please let me play. I must play today.” the young man insisted (坚持), and finally the coach gave in. “All right,” he said. “You can go in.” Before long, no one could believe their eyes.

Every year, hundreds of millions of monarch butterflies from Canada and the United States fly 5,000 kilometers to Michoacan in central Mexico. They arrived at the forest in Michoacan in late October and spent the next five months clustering together in the trees or the ground. The forest are orange and black in those months because of the large number of the butterflies. Sometimes, there are so many of them in a single tree that the tree branches bend or even break.
The forest are now protected by law, and the breathtaking views of the butterflies attract a great many visitors every year. However, the number of monarch butterflies is continuing to reduce mainly due to human activities.
Illegal logging (非法采伐) is one of the major threats to monarch butterflies as it destroys their homes. In 2015, some people cut down trees in a central area in the forests. They had cleared nine hectares (公顷) of trees before being stopped and taken to the police station. However, they were set free only hours later, though they should have been put in prison for five to eight years according to the law.
Another major threat to the butterflies is the use of herbicides (除草剂). Herbicides kill the milkweed — a kind of plant. A monarch butterfly grows on it, from an egg to an adult.
The number of monarch butterflies in Mexico has fallen by more than 80 percent over the past 20 years. If we don’t do anything to protect the butterflies, we are likely to lose one of the greatest natural wonders in the near future.
32．What is Paragraph 1 mainly about
A．The sights in Michoacan.
B．Introduction about monarch butterflies.
C．The monarch butterflies’ colour.
D．The food that monarch butterflies eat.
33．What does the underlined word “breathtaking” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Simple. B．Boring. C．Amazing. D．Common.
34．What mainly causes monarch butterflies in danger
A．The climate change. B．Illegal logging.
C．The use of herbicides. D．Both B and C．
35．What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To ask people to protect monarch butterflies.
B．To call on people to visit Michoacan.
C．To describe the dangerous situation of all butterflies.
D．To tell about a great place to watch monarch butterflies.

五、阅读填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）

Many people often lose their chance to live life to the fullest because of procrastination（延, 拖延）which means that they always delay（使延迟）doing something that must be done at once. Moreover, because they often put off their plans till “tomorrow”, they are less likely to achieve their goals and will give up their dreams and goals finally. As a result, we can say that procrastination is the enemy of a progressive lifestyle.
Now that we know procrastination is something bad, why do some people not take immediate action Well, there are some things that result in procrastination. Depending on（依靠）someone else rather than doing by oneself is one of the things. Whenever you wait for something to happen before you act, you make it easier to delay our goals and dreams until “someday”. Another reason for procrastination is that people do not value each moment in their day.In fact, it’s surprising how much you can do if you just decide to do little things with the little time you have.Also those who often procrastinate can always find a good reason for something they refuse to do at once.
If you are one of those who often delay, then it’s time for you to make a decision to act now because things happen only when we decide to act. Get down to doing something like losing weight, saving money or spending more time with family. Don’t let these things continue to be an excuse for you to do “someday”, but make a decision to do it now.
Once you have made your decision, write down the plan and take action immediately. Making plans can help you think carefully about how you are going to do what you need to do. After understanding how to do what you want to do, get doing with the plan. It doesn’t matter how small the move you make and just be closer to your goals. So, instead, start now! Just make use of every moment you have to do something that is helpful in realizing your dreams and goals.
Here is a challenge that will also move you to be closer to your dreams and goals if taken seriously. Make a list of ten things you have been putting off.It could be anything from getting a health examination, calling a friend or family member, to getting the car fixed and cleaning up the garbage, etc. And then try to develop the habit of doing them immediately!
Stay away from procrastination

参考答案
一、单项填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分）
1．C
【详解】句意：当你读完这本书后，记得把它还回图书馆。考查非谓语动词。finish doing sth“做完某事”，故选C。
2．C
【详解】句意：我们学校学生的数量大约是两千人。A项为实义动词“有”的单三形式； B项为实义动词“有”的原形形式；C、D分别为be动词的单数和复数形式。句中The number of..为固定短语，其后通常接名词复数，但谓语动词形式要用单数形式，又因为句中缺表语，故选C项。
【点睛】注意与固定短语a number of的区别：a number of意为“许多”，修饰可数名词复数，谓语动词也要用复数形式。
3．A
【详解】句意：“看！那边的那个男孩是谁？”“噢，他是我的堂弟，约翰。他是一个诚实的男孩。” 考查冠词辨析。第一空由over there可知特指那个男孩，用定冠词the，第二空因honest是以元音音素开头的单词，故其前用不定冠词an。故选A。
【点睛】冠词分为不定冠词a/an和定冠词the。不定冠词表示类别和数量“一”，用于泛指，其中a用于辅音因素开头的单数可数名词（或其定语形容词）前；an则用于元音因素开头的单数可数名词（或其定语形容词）前。the主要表示“特指”，表双方都知道的或上文提到的人或物以及世界上独一无二的东西。定冠词用法比较复杂，在序数词、形容词或副词最高级前，在江河海洋、山脉群岛、海峡海湾等专有名词前，在器乐名词和度量单位名词前，以及在某些习惯短语中或结构搭配中，都需用定冠词the。此外还有零冠词，即不用冠词的情况，比如表示月份、星期、节日、三餐饭的名词前，表示学科名、球类、棋类的名词前，与by连用的交通工具或表示方式、手段的名词前，等等，都需在应用中灵活掌握。
4．A
【详解】句意为：刘英擅长唱歌。她唱得和著名歌手CoCo一样好。考查副词的同级比较。根据“as ＋形容词或副词原级＋ as”可知C和D是错误的。as well as 为“和……一样好”，well为副词；as good as 为“和……一样好”，good为形容词。修饰动词要用副词。故选A。
5．C
【详解】句意：我哥哥和我住在一间有两扇窗户的房间里。考查词义辨析。and和，连词；/不填；with有，介词；has有，动词。本句已有谓语动词，此处用介词表示“有”，故选C。
6．B
【详解】句意：当我们考试时，我们总是先快速浏览一下试卷然后开始作答。A“照顾，照看”；B“浏览，翻看”；C“查阅、抬头看”；D“小心；向外看”。根据语境可知选答案B。
7．C
【详解】句意：我将去上海，我爸爸和我妈妈都将和我一起去。本题考查连词的用法。A. Neither...nor 既不……也不……;表示前后都否定；B. Either... or 或者……或者……;前后是选择关系； D. Not only… but also “不仅……而且……” 前后是递进关系。以上三个短语连接并列主语时，谓语动词采取就近原则，而题干谓语动词出现了“are”,所以句子的主语必须是复数形式，选项ACD作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式， C. Both; and 的意思是“两者都。故选C。
8．C
【详解】句意：你旅行越多，你的生活经历就越丰富。考查形容词比较级。 “the＋比较级...，the＋比较级...”，意为“越......，则越......”。根据句意语境，可知旅行越多经历就越丰富，故选C。
9．B
【详解】句意：我们没有足够多的钢笔去写，请再给我们几只钢笔。考查动词不定式作定语和a few修饰可数名词。根据“have enough pens”可知，用动词不定式作定语，表示用某种工具需用介词with；钢笔为可数名词，应该用a few来修饰，故选B。
10．C
【详解】句意：——她的另一只手里是什么？——什么都没有。考查代词的用法。由题干可知，两个中的另一个“the other”，空前有形容词性物主代词her，所以不再用the；what“什么”进行提问，用nothing“什么都没有”回答。故选C。
11．B
【详解】句意：看！许多人在火车站等火车。考查介词辨析。at在；for为了；in在……中；of……的。根据“Many people are waiting...the train station...the train.”可知，此处指在火车站等火车，at the train station“在火车站”，wait for“等待”。故选B。
12．D
【详解】句意：这个周末为什么不去长城呢？考查特殊疑问句。How about后加动名词，疑问句；Let’s后加动词原形，陈述句；Will we应是Shall we表提议；Why not后加动词原形，疑问句。根据“...go to the Great Wall this weekend ”可知，此处是疑问句，go是动词原形，故选D。
13．B
【详解】句意：艾米在上海玩得很开心，她有很多时间来享受这座城市。考查非谓语动词。由题干可知本题主要考查两个固定搭配，have a lovely/good time（in）doing sth.表示“做某事玩得很开心”，这里省略掉了介词in，所以排除A、C选项；“有时间做某事”英文表达一般是have time to do sth.所以排除D选项；故答案选B。
14．B
【详解】句意：我用一些钱买了一些练习本。a little 一些，修饰不可数名词； a few一些，修饰可数名词复数；books可数名词，money.不可数名词；故选B
15．B
【详解】--你认为你的英语老师怎么样？--他非常棒。在我们学校没有老师（比他）更好了（在我们学校他是最好的老师。）。在比较句型中使用 "no", "nobody", "nothing" 等词表示最高级的含义。结合句意，故选B。
点睛：英语中可以用比较级表示最高级的含义：1. 比较级 + than + the other + 复数名词/ + any other + 单数名词/ + any of the other + 复数名词例如：She goes to school earlier than the other girls. 她比其他女孩早上学 2. 用于否定句中。如：I have never read a more interesting novel. = It is the most interesting novel I've ever read. 这是我读过的最有趣的小说。3. 在比较句型中使用 "no", "nobody", "nothing" 等词表示最高级的含义如：I like nothing better than swimming. 我最喜欢游泳。

My School Trip to the DIY Centre
Hi, my name is Lucy. I’m a student of Grade 8. Last Friday, my classmates and I went on a school trip to the DIY Centre.
We met at the school gate and got on the bus at 8 a.m. And we came back to school at 4 p.m.. When we got there, all of us couldn’t wait to get off the bus. In the morning, we made fresh fruit salad and sandwiches. At first, we chose fresh fruit we like. Then we cut the fruit into small pieces. Finally, we mixed the fruit together and added some salad cream to the fruit. In the afternoon, we made posters for the centre.
We all had a good time.
