As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize, they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.
Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dreams real?
Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams real is life’s biggest challenge(挑战). You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it’s impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing (实现)your dream..
In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is .Don’t let it leave your heart. Keeping telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.
You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book..
As you get closer to dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.

（二）任务型阅读 阅读下面的短文，完成表格。（每空一词，共5题，计5分）
In the past, man did not have to think about the protection of his environment. There were not many people on earth, and natural resources (资源)seemed to be unlimited（无限的）.
Today, things are different. The world has become too crowded(拥挤的). We are using up our natural resources too quickly, and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue like this, human life on earth will not survive.
Everyone realizes today that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet, with modern fishing methods(方法), more and more fish are caught. We know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear and nothing will grow on the land.
We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die. However, in most countries, waste products are still put into rivers or into the sea, and there are few laws to stop this.
We know, too, that if the population(人口) of the world continues to rise at the present rate, in a few years, there will not be enough food.
What can we do to solve these problems?
If we eat more vegetables and less meat, we will easily get more food. Land that is used to grow crops can feed five times more people that land where animals are kept.
The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control.
Finally, if we educate people to think about the problems, we shall have a better and cleaner living place in the future.
The importance of protecting the environment
Problems 1. More fish being caught.
2. More 46 being cut down.
3. More waste products being put into rivers.
4. More 47 being born.
Causes The world is becoming too 48
Modern methods make the situation worse.
Result We human beings(人类) will not survive on the earth.
Solutions 1. Eat more vegetables and less meat so that more food will be available(可以获得的) for everyone.
2. Use modern methods of 49 control so that the population will not grow too fast.
3. Educate people so that the 50 will be better and cleaner.

We just want to say thank you for having us before we caught the plane last week. It was a nice evening, and we enjoyed 61 Peter and Sarah. With your help we were able to get to the airport with plenty of time. We often tried to get an 62 flight(航班) than usual, but it wasn’t possible.
We had a 63 holiday in Spain( 西班牙). We just loved driving 64 the countryside, and we often 65 to walk round a mountain village .We met 66 friends, Bill and Sue, and they invited us to have a meal with them. They wanted us to stay with them. 67 we couldn’t, as we had already booked (预定) two 68 _ in a hotel.
The weather was nice. There 69 so much beautiful sunshine all time we were there. Leaving Spain was very sad. It made me want to cry.
