16．Maybe you've heard of many musical bands，but have you heard of Little Big Town，a country musical group？There are four members in this band，Karen Fairchild，Kimberly Schlapman，Jimi Westbrook and Phillip Sweet．They had a hard time when they began their band at first，but they didn't give up．Now it becomes very popular．
"We take care of each other and we take care of the music，"Karen Fairchild once said after one of their shows．As a fan of this band，I once had a chance to hang out with the members of Little Big Town．We talked about their hard beginning．At that time，they even didn't have their own stage．
Fairchild also told me how the four of them were together when they were in trouble．Not only did they stand together on stage but also in their daily life．For example，they were right there when Phillip Sweet was caring for his daughter for the first time．They encouraged Kimberly Schlapman when they found her husbandpassed away．At that time Kimberly was very sad to lose her husband．
"When we have lived such a hard life together，it bonds （联系） us tightly，"Phillip Sweet said．"We find true happiness is the joy of doing what we do for a living．We love the hard beginning．We also love the wonderful future．"

15．Once there was a farmer．He had three（56）sons（son）．They were all lazy boys．One day he felt that he was going to die．He called them together and told them that there was a treasure（宝藏） hidden in the fields．
"If you turn the earth over for it，"said he，"you（57）will find （find） it．"
After their father died，the lazy boys began to turn the earth in the fields．They（58）dug（dig） for many days，（59）but they couldn't find any treasure．They used a plough（犁）．Though they ploughed as deep （60）as they could，still they didn't find the treasure．Then spring came，and it was time （61）for sowing （种）．
"Let's sow rice in these fields．"one of them said，"Since the earth is already turned．"
"That's fine，"the others replied，and they began to sow．
When （62）autumn arrived，they were surprised （63）to see （see） the golden rice in the fields．Their harvest（收成） was （64）better（good） than that in any of their neighbors'fields．Then the boys understand what their（65）father said．The fields give treasure to those who work hard．

14．With the development of science and technology，there will be great changes in robots．The new robots will have different （41）shapes （形状） and be used in different ways．Domestic （家用的） robots will （42）appear （出现） in our daily life in the （43）future（未来）．For example，robots can cook in regular time，and they can help people do boring （44）housework （家务）．As for the old who are lonely，they can make the robots chat，play chess with them．They will also be able to deal with accidents （意外） when the old people （45）fall （跌倒） to the ground．All in all，I think robots will change our life a lot，and make it more colorful than before．
Zongzi is a kind of （46）traditional （传统的） food in China，which is eaten at the Dragon Boat Festival to remember Qu Yuan，a （47）famous （著名的） poet in ancient China．Qu Yuan threw （48）himself （自己） into the Miluo River on may 15th according to the Chinese calendar．It is said that people jumped from boats into the river and tried to save him．But it was too late．They were very （49）sad （伤心的）and then dropped Zongzi into the river to keep the fish away from Qu Yuan's body．From then on，people eat Zongzi （50）once （一次）a year at the Dragon Boat Festival．

13．阅读下面的短文，在空白处填入一个适当的词，或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式．   
Have you ever been cycling（骑自行车运动）？This spring my elder brother and I（66）spent（spend） a long weekend cycling in the countryside．We rode（67）slowly（slow） along because we hadn't come to break any speed records，or to do sports．We just wanted（68）to get（get） some fresh air and a break from schoolwork．We really had a great time（69）riding（ride） along country roads．And there was one of the best things about our trip that made us happy：every few （70）kilometers（kilometer） there was a village where we could find everything we needed．
All the local people were really friendly．However，（71）onthe second day，something noise，but I didn't mind at all．At midnight we were woken by the noise in the hotel．We were tired（73）whenwe set off the next morning，but soon felt cheerful when the sun came out．
What we enjoyed（74）ourselves（our） most about cycling is-it's simple and fus．I think nothing is（75）better（good） than cycling if you're looking for a break that is active and cheap．Why not have a try？

12．Dear Nancy，
Mike （91）invited me to go to his birthday party tomorrow night．But my parents thought I should （92）study for the English test．If I go to the party，they （93）will be upset．Also，I'm not sure how to get to the party．If I walk there，it （94）will take me too long．If I take a taxi，it will be too expensive
Can you give me some （95）advice，please？
Tina．

11．Now in some places of our country，many people are cutting down the trees in the forests．They need more（76）wood（木材） to build houses and more farmland to grow crops and so on．Forests are getting smaller and（77）smaller．Some scientists say that there will be no big forests in 20or 30years．It is really a terrible thing．（78）Without[w?'?a?t]the forests，we will have sandstorms （沙尘暴） often．The weather will get hot and dry．The earth will become a big desert （沙漠）．A lot of plants and animals will die （79）oout．Crops will not grow anywhere．Life will be difficult for everyone．So we should do our best to（80）protect（保护） the forests．

10．Armida Scarpa is an English teacher．She believes that stories can be used from the very beginning．She uses a real text of Goldilocks with her class．Her class are a （80）group of seven-year-old pupils．They are in their second year at school．They are learning to （81）read in Italian，and have English lessons three times a week．She doesn't expect the children to learn the （82）difficult grammar （语法）．But she does want to show them that they can make sense of them．She only asks them to （83）really learn the words．This method is to give children an experience of real English and allows the teacher to use almost any story．If the children like the story and if the teacher uses it carefully，the children can （84）understand it．
Children are used to living in a world where they do not understand a lot of things．Most children take what we find for them，but they can also notice all the other （85）information around them．If we deprive （剥夺） children of every experience except those we want them to master （掌握），then we take away the chance for them to experience this natural growth．

9．I am Jim．I am twelve （91）years old．There are five people （92）in my family．My father is a （93）doctor．He （94）worksin a hospital．My mother is a （95）teacher．She teaches English in a middle （96）school．Amy is my （97）sister．She is only four years old．So she doesn't （98）goto school．My grandmother doesn't have a job．She looks （99）after Amy at home．I am a student of （100）ClassSix，Grade Seven．

8．Who is the king of the nature？Maybe people will say the tiger is．I think it's right．Tigers are very big and （96）strong．They have （97）brighteyes，yellow fur and black （98）stripes．They can run very fast（99）becauseof their strong legs．Their teeth are very （100）sharp，so they're the best hunters on land．
Wearing clothes （101）made of animal fur is popular nowadays．Many tigers lose their （102）livesbecause people hunt them for their fur．We must stop this．People should（103）protectthese animals．All animals are our friends．We should look after them （104）carefully．If all the animals die，we will feel lonely．So let's take （105）actionto protect them．
