六、短文首字母填空（10分）

根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。

Do you know how rice first came to China? There is an old Chinese story． It is about a little girl who went out to fish． There was a famine(饥荒) and everybody was very h   51   ． The little girl felt her net g   52    heavy and was very happy． However, it was the King of Frogs that she caught． When the frog knew the girl wanted something to eat, the frog p   53    to help her． The frog let her hold out her fishing net to the sunshine and he would sing a magic song． The little girl followed his i   54   ． She was greatly surprised to see the sunshine falling t    55     the net． And it was changed into golden grains of rice． The f   56    rice was thought to arrive in this way．

We do not know w   57    this story is true or not, but it tells us that rice has the same value as gold to the Chinese． Rice is a    58     the main food for the Chinese． For centuries, much land has been devoted to rice-planting and many Chinese people are f   59   ． They work very hard for each grain．

Waste can bring lots of problems． Although China is r    60     in some resources(资源), we are short of others． In some other parts of the world, people even don’t have enough food to eat． It’s important to save food and say no to waste． Waste can be stopped if we do our best．

七、阅读填表（10分）

根据短文内容，完成下列表格。每空一词

You must hear about earthquakes(地震), but do you know what to do before, during and after an earthquake? Here are some ideas for you:

Before an earthquake． It is important to prepare yourself and your family． All family members should know how to turn off gas(煤气), water and electricity and know some useful telephone numbers(doctor, hospital, police, 119, etc．)． Never put heavy things over beds．

During an earthquake． It is important for each of you to stay calm(平静)． If you are indoors, quickly move to a safe place in the room such as under a strong desk or a strong table． It can protect yourself from falling things． Stay away from windows, large mirrors, heavy things and so on． If you are cooking, turn off the gas．

If you are outdoors, move to an open area like a playground． Move away from buildings, bridges and trees． If you are driving, stop the car as soon as possible and stay in your car．

After an earthquake． Once the shaking(摇动) stops, do not run out of the building at once． It’s better to wait and leave when it is safe．

Check around you and help the people in trouble． If your building is badly broken, you should leave it． If you smell or hear a gas, get everyone outside and open windows and doors． If you can do it safely, turn off the gas． Report it to the gas station．

参考答案

1． (s)afe

【详解】句意：警察们正在努力工作，使这个城市成为一个安全的地方。根据“The policemen are working hard”及首字母提示可知，应该是“安全的”，这里修饰名词place，用形容词“safe”。故填(s)afe。

2． (f)ear

【详解】句意：他的妹妹非常害怕黑暗，所以她经常开着灯睡觉。根据“so she often goes to sleep with the light(s) on．（所以她经常开着灯睡觉。）”可知，他的妹妹害怕黑暗，fear“害怕”，可数名词，“a”是不定冠词，后面加名词单数，符合题意。故填(f)ear。
