Drones are already being used 52 the world to help people and save lives. In Africa, drones are often used to deliver medicine to remote or hard-to-reach places. They’ve also been used in Australia to help find people caught in 53 seas and even deliver safety devices to people in danger.

Good afternoon, my name is Emma Hicks and I would like to explain why you should vote for me in the student council（学生会） elections on June 1st.
I have been attending this school since I was 7 years old so I 75 a lot about what happens here. I learned to use maths to solve real-world problems at this school; I wrote my first essay at this school and I have enjoyed every minute of my time here. However, I think that together we could make some 76 that would benefit or help everyone.
Have you ever wondered what PE lessons would be like if the equipment we had was even better? How about if you get to 77 how the money raised at the school will be spent?

Furthermore, I will make an excellent school councilor because I have really good ideas. I have shown this in my school work and in my projects. I know what children at this school want because I have lots of friends and I talk to lots of people. I am 78 talking to adults – it always says so on my school reports.

C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给)（14分）
We may think today that Donald Trump invented the term, but “fake news” has been around for a while. In the early 19th century, small regional and local papers made their product known and i 81 their sales with a lot of made-up news articles. The Central Park Zoo Escape, reported on November 9, 1874, is one such event.
The front page of the New York Herald that day reported that v 82 animals had escaped from the Central Park Zoo. A rhino had fallen into a sewer（下水道） and a lion had been seen walking slowly through a church. The article said that, while the police and National Guard were doing what they could, twenty-seven people had already died and many others had been injured. Readers were scared and armed men were seen in the streets, preparing to p 83 their loved ones and property by battling the wild animals of the zoo. In their upset, they clearly hadn’t read to the end of the article: the l 84 line stated that ‘the whole story given above is a pure lie’!
But why was it done? The article was the creation of a reporter named Joseph Clarke. Working alongside his editor, Clarke wanted to highlight the dangerous conditions at the zoo by showing the readers what could happen, not what a 85 had. They had no idea of the fear it would cause. The paper never apologized for the upset to New Yorkers. I 86 , they ran a short statement requesting that safety conditions at the zoo should be improved.
The l 87 to learn? Always read right to the end!
The whole story given above is not a pure lie!

Our Great Ocean Road Adventure
By Donna Waverley
My family and I recently went to Australia, to see my grandparents. But before we visited them, we went sightseeing along the Great Ocean Road, on the Australian coast.
Dad had planned to drive, but even though he was used to driving miles without getting exhausted, he then read on the website that the road wouldn’t be an easy drive. Anyway, we thought he deserved to enjoy the fantastic views too, which he couldn’t do as our driver. So instead, we booked discount bus tickets and off we went.
Our first stop was where wild kangaroo lived – and Dad and I were taking a walk when a big one appeared! For a moment, it seemed to consider coming towards us, which made me a little nervous – but then it went off along the road and into the bushes.
That wasn’t the only wildlife we saw. I thought it unlikely we’d see famous Koala bears during our short visit. In fact, at our next stop, we saw roughly six million in that area! Sadly, some gum trees they were in had very few leaves left, which people told us was because of the Koalas, although I’d read that lack of water is indeed the problem.
Dad had booked a campsite for the night, with ready-made tents – for an adventure! I wasn’t sure about that, but they were really luxury tents, within walking distance of some famous rocks and other places we hoped to visit. However, Dad also said the sounds of wild creatures would help us sleep. That sounded worrying – until the “wild creatures” turned out to be frogs! So I was embarrassed by my fears – and kept awake by the frogs! But we had fun making meals together – we’d brought food, as we knew there’d be nowhere to eat.
In fact, this whole trip was fantastic!
88. The passage is mainly about Donna’s visit to his grandparents, isn’t it?
89. Why did Donna’s Dad decide not to drive the Great Ocean Road himself?
90. How was Donna when she saw a big kangaroo along the route?
91. What has caused the gum trees to be in such a bad state?
92. Where did Donna’s family spend the night?
93. What did Donna like and dislike about the place where they stayed?

Betty Jones was only eight years old when she first tried playing the drums. This was during a lunchtime music club at school, which she only went to because it was cold and rainy. At the same time her friends were in the playground playing baseball – a sport that Betty hated. Of all the musical instruments that the teacher had in the music room, the drums were the most interesting to Betty. She thought it was cool that there were many different shapes and sizes of drums, and she wanted to hit them, to see what they sounded like.
Now Betty is fourteen and gives concerts around the country. She also has her own YouTube channel and gets over a million hits a year. What’s amazing is that Betty hasn’t ever been to a drum lesson. ‘You can learn anything on the Internet, so I’ve never felt it was important for me to take classes,’ explains Betty.
Giving concerts wasn’t easy for Betty at the beginning because usually she only played drums alone in her bedroom when she came home from school. At her first concert, she played in a band with adults. She could feel hundreds of pairs of eyes looking at her, and that made her feel frightened. So, does Betty enjoy being famous now? ‘I didn’t plan to be famous,’ she says. ‘All I want is to show others what I love. I don’t think I’m someone special. I just want everyone to have a great time at my concerts.’

D. Listen to the dialogue and complete the following sentences (听对话，完成下列内容，每空格限填一词): (10分)
W: Wow! It’s such a beautiful day! The sky is so blue.
M: I guess… It’s been nice all summer, so I don’t notice it as much. Maybe I’m getting spoiled!
W: I wasn’t expecting it to be like this. My dad came here a few years ago and he said the air quality was really bad.
M: He was not wrong. It used to be terrible. In summer, you’d often get thick smog covering the whole city, but it’s improved greatly in the last ten years or so.
W: What changed?
M: I think it was driven by people’s attitudes. Ten years ago, few people were keen on environmental issues, but nowadays there’s much more awareness of things like air quality and how it can affect your health.
W: Sure, but that can’t be the only reason.
M: Well, no. The local government also brought in new laws and rules. They introduced limits on driving in the city centre, made it illegal to use wood or coal fires for heating, and moved a lot of heavy industry away from the city.
W: It’s impressive that they could make such a big change in a short time. Ten years isn’t long for these things.
M: True, but there’s still more to do. It can still get hazy in winter. They’re putting more money and effort into basic systems and services such as public transport, roads and bridges, though, so I think it’ll carry on getting better.
