Ⅰ. 单项填空 选择最佳答案。
1. We can save money cooking our own meals instead of eating outside. A. by B. to C. for D. with
A
句意：我们能够 在家里做饭而不是出去吃饭省钱。by“通过”，可接v. -ing形式构成介词短语，表达方式、方法；to后一般接动词原形，本题空后为动词-ing形式，故排除；for“为了”；with“和，具有”，均不符合语境。 2. — can we become good learners?
—By working hard and asking the teachers for help. A. How B. Where C. When D. What
A
句意：“我们怎样才能变成优秀的学习者? ”“通过努力学习和向老师寻求帮助。”介词短语“by+v. -ing”表达方式、方法，意为“通过做某事”，故用how提问。 3. —What do you usually do in the morning? —I often practice English. A. speak B. to speak C. speaking D. spoken
C
句意：“早上你通常做什么? ”“我经常练习说英语。”practice doing sth. 意为“练习做某事”，是固定搭配。所以选C。

Swimming and English Learning
Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well，how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others who are swimming. It’s the same with the English study. We must practice，practice and practice. Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on the radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed，and try to catch every word. Somebody may be a good listener. But he or she dare not speak. He or she is afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well，you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important. When there’s nobody to talk with，you can talk to yourself in English. It’s interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember，the more you speak，the fewer mistakes you’ll make.
Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First，we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.
Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don’t be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.
Easier said than done. Well，let’s do more practice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English well in this way. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 短文大意：这篇短文主要讲述了如何学习英语的问题，并对如何学好英语提出了具体的建议。 11. You can learn to swim by . A. reading books about it

The Mid-Autumn Day
The Mid-Autumn Day is a very important Chinese festival. A few days before the festival，everyone in the family will help to make the house clean and beautiful. Lanterns will be hung in front of the house.
On the evening there will be a big family dinner. People who work far away from their homes will try to come back for the reunion. After dinner，people will light the lanterns which are usually red and round. Children will play with their own toy lanterns happily.
At night the moon is usually round and bright. People can enjoy the moon while eating mooncakes which are the special food for this festival. They can look back on the past and look forward to the future together. It is said that there was a dragon in the sky. The dragon wanted to swallow up the moon. To keep the moon，the children made loud sounds to frighten the dragon away.
