Dragons can be friendly or fierce(兇狠), they can bring good luck or cause death, but one thing is sure-people talk about them almost everywhere in the world．For a creature that doesn't actually exist, that's quite something．
In Chinese culture, dragons are generous and wise, although they can be ①unpredictable．The dragon was closely connected to the royal family：theemperor's robes(禮袍)have a symbol of a gold dragon with five claws．②Other members of the royal family were allowed to wear dragon symbols, too, but with fewer claws and of a different colour．According to popular belief, if you were born in the year of the dragon, you are intelligent, brave, and a natural leader．
But in the west, dragons had a different reputation(名聲)．The very first text in English, the Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf, tells the story of a Scandinavian hero, Beowulf, who fights and kills a dangerous dragon but is himself killed in the fight．However, across the border in Wales, the red dragon which appears on the Welsh flag is a positive symbol, indicating strength and a sense of national identity．
③Why should the dragon have a different character in different parts of the world? Some experts believe it is due to the animals that the myths grew out of．In the west, the idea of the dragon probably came from the snake-an animal which people hated and ④________ of(害怕)．
But in China, the idea of the dragon may have come from the alligator-a shy animal which lives in rivers, but which is usually only seen when there is plenty of water-a good sign for agriculture(農業)．So the Chinese dragon was a bringer of ⑤good fortune．
1．(A)請寫出文中畫線部分①unpredictable的漢語意思：________．
(B)請從文中找出與畫線部分⑤good fortune意思相近的短語：________．
2．將文中畫線部分②改成主動語態：They ________
3．將文中畫線句子③翻譯成漢語：________
4．根據文中④處的漢語提示，用英語將句子補充完整，每空一詞．
In the west, the idea of the dragon probably came from the snake-an animal which people hated and ________ of(害怕)．
5．What are the differences between Chinese dragons and western dragons?(從文中找出相關描述的英語單詞或短語，每空至少一個．)
Chinese dragons：________ Western dragons：________．
|
1．(A)：難以預料(測)的；(B)：good luck 2．They allowed other members of the royal family to wear dragon symbols． 3．為什么世界上不同地方的龍有不同的特性? 4．were; afraid 5．Chinese dragons：generous; wise; a bringer of good fortuneWestern dragons：dangerous; positive; strength; a sense of national identity(每空至少填一個詞或短語，每空1分) |

讀寫綜合，信息歸納，請閱讀一篇關于“電視選秀”的文章，根據所提供的信息，完成下列表格。
Nowadays, there are more and more TV talent shows．They are very popular all over China．
These talent shows give everyone a chance to show off their talents．For some lucky people, These shows may make them famous, and can even make them rich．However, there are also many bad sides．First, some young people just imitate(模仿)the people they admire(欽佩)．They may forget about their own style．Second, young people spend too much time on such TV shows．They always dream of being a star．So they spend less time on their studies．
In my opinion, TV talent shows are social activities(社會活動)．Young people can take part in these activities to get social experience．But they should know that the chance of being famous is very small for most people and they should know that their schoolwork is much more important．In short, you can do what you like, but you should know what is important and what is not．

閱讀下面短文，按要求完成短文后的各項任務。
Have you ever wondered why birds sing?Maybe you thought that they were just happy．After all, you probably also sing or whistle when you are happy．
Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy．However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason．Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory．
Do you know what a“territory”is?A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims(宣稱)as its own．Only he and his family are welcome there．No other families of the same species(物種)are welcome．Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome．(2)If a stranger should enter your territory and want to hurt you, you might shout．Probably this would be enough to frighten him away．
If so, you have actually frightened the stranger away without having to fight him．(4)一只鳥也將會做同樣的事．But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting(筑巢)season．So he is screaming(尖叫)all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not．This screaming is what we call a bird's song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away．
Birds sing loudest in spring when they are trying to attract a mate(同伴)and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs．
You can see that birds have a language of their own．Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories．
任務一：從文中找出一個與establish同義的短語。1．________．
任務二：根據(2)處劃線部分的意思來完成下面句子。(每空一詞，共2詞)
2．You might frighten a stranger away by ________ ________ him if he should enter your territory and want to hurt you．
任務三：根據文章，選擇最佳選項：
3．What is a bird's“territory”?
A．A place where other families of the same species are welcome．
B．A place where a bird can sing loudly．
C．An area where birds often fight against each other．
D．An area which a bird considers to be its own．
任務四：將(4)處劃線句子翻譯成英語。4．________．
任務五：用一句話概括本文的中心大意(不超過10個單詞)。

閱讀文章，回答問題．
The holiday's upon us．After months of study, you have some time to yourself．So, why not read a book? Well, some people will say, “Why trouble with books? We have the Internet and other media(媒體)that offer a lot more colorful programs．Books are history!”
But don't be fooled．There's still a lot to be said for reading-and reading as widely as possible．
(1)One clear reason is that a well-chosen ________ is a wonderful collection of ________ and expressions, so long as you have a good dictionary, of course．Believe me, it's far easier to get new English words and expressions from a book or article than it is from the TV or the Internet．
(2)But an even more important point is that books give you something that modern media simply can not．The webpage(網頁)is always full of pictures and the text is often designed to make it as easy to read as possible．
Though “easy” may be welcome, unluckily it's of little use for any long-time development of reading skills and the general language level．For that, there's still no substitute(替代品)for a book．
But perhaps the best single reason is that simply choosing what you read and doing it by yourself means that it's something you do by and for yourself．You can choose what you want to read．It's hard work, but while you are reading, you'll find that what once seemed like a duty is now a pleasure．Reading can bring us pleasure．
1．在(1)句空白處填入適當的詞：________ ________
2．把(2)劃線句子翻譯成中文：________
3．回答問題：How many reasons for reading books does the text mention?
____________________________
4．在文中找出與下面句子意思相近的句子：It's nearly useless．
____________________________
5．在文中找出最能表達文章主題的句子：
