Nowadays, the food that you buy comes from many different countries. Have a look in your fridge and fruit bowl, and check the origins (来源) of the food. Perhaps there are apples from California or potatoes from Egypt. You will probably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plate. This journey, from “field to plate”, is called “food miles”. A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmer’s field to the person who buys the food. Nowadays, food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer (消费者). Why is this, and what are the effects (影响) of these long distances?
Traditionally, farmers sold their food in the local market, so the food didn’t have to travel very far. The consumers also did not travel very far because they went to their local market to buy the food. Now, because of modern technology, food comes from all over the world. We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes. They are available in winter if we want.
Some countries have to import (进口) most of their food. This is because they have difficult climates. The United Arab Emirates (UAE), for example, get 85% of its food from other countries.
I believe these miles are worrying for some reasons. First of all, because food travels such long distances, we need more planes, trucks and ships to move the food. This means we use more oil or petrol, so there is more pollution and more global (全球的) warming. Besides, food that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tasty. Tomatoes, for example, are picked early and stored for their long journeys. For this reason, they are usually tasteless when they get to the consumer. Local food has a better taste, and it also reduces (makes sth. less) the amount of global pollution. We need to buy more local food.

Once there was a man traveling in a faraway village. As he was passing the elephants, he stopped at once. He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front legs. No chains, no cages. It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn’t try to get away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they were very young and much smaller, we used the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it was enough to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free.”
How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. But because they were always stuck right where they were, they believed they couldn’t.

After coming to America, the use of “yes” and “no” brings me a lot of trouble, because the use in Korea (韩语) is a different from that in English. For example, if I am asked, “Haven’t you had dinner yet?” and I have not had dinner yet, then in Korean I usually say “Yes, I haven’t.” But in English, I have to say, “No, I haven’t.”
Because of this, my friends often get the opposite meaning from what I want to give them. One day only a month after I came to America, I had dinner with an American student, Bob. He asked me some questions and I answered them sincerely. A few days later, I found some roommates thought that I came from North Korea. One day I stopped by Bob’s room and asked why he was spreading the wrong information. “Oh, you told me that. Don’t you remember?” he said, “When I asked you ‘You are not from North Korea,are you’you clearly answered, ‘Yes, of course.’ Didn’t it mean that you are from North Korea?”
The different use also causes problems between my friends and me. One weekend night, my roommate Mark brought his children into the dorm(宿舍). They make some noise while playing. I didn’t mind the noise since I was just watching TV. The next morning, I met Mark. He asked me with a smile, “Didn’t my children make noise last night? Didn’t it make you uncomfortable?” Because I did not mind the noise at all, I clearly said “Yes!” The smile suddenly disappear from Mark’s face, and he said, “I am sorry about that. They are going right now. See you later.” I could not understand what he was sorry about, and I just said, “OK. Bye!” After a moment of thinking, I realized how stupid I was. That evening, I explained to Mark and said sorry to him. I knew he thought that I had been very rude.
Now to deal with this problem, I have set simple rules: First, take a five-second break if I am not sure of “yes” or “no”, Second, use “pardon me”, so the person may explain to me in a direct way.
1 .From the passage, we can infer (推断) that the writer comes from ______.
A. North Korea B. America C. South Korea D. China
2.In Paragraph 3, when the writer answered “Yes”,Mark might think the writer was _______.
A. rude B. kind C. helpful D. polite
3.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to (指的是) _______.
A. “yes” B. the noise C. watching TV D. the smile
4.If the writer is not sure of “yes” or “no” next time, he will say______.
A. “ pardon me” B. “yes” C. “no” D. “I don’t know”
5.The writer writes the passage mainly to remind us_______.
A. to work hard on English B. to learn to respect other
C. never to use “yes” or “no” D. to know culture differences

From a young age, I've had a really deep connection with being outside. I've been skiing
since I was eight or nine years old. I' ve been on expeditions(探险)in many places like China, Pakistan and so on. But it was in my home country, the USA, that I came closest to death.
It was April, 2011. I was skiing in the Tetons with my friends Jeremy and Xavier, both experienced snowboarders. That day, I was the last person to ski. They were watching me from a safe area. Suddenly, I heard someone cry loudly. I turned around and saw the whole mountain start to move behind me. It was a massive avalanche(大雪崩). The kind of avalanche that destroys trees, cars, buses, even houses! Tens of thousands of tons of snow were coming straight down the mountain behind me. I felt the snow push me forward, hundreds of meters, and then cover me. It was so heavy that I couldn't breathe. And then it pushed me forward again and up,out of the snowpack. I looked around, and for a few seconds I actually stopped being terrified. I had a moment to pause and to look at the power of the avalanche.
I looked down into the bottom of the valley(峡谷). I could see trees that were 30m tall, because I was so far away, they looked tiny to me. “OK, I' m going all the way to the bottom!” I thought. Then the snow pushed me again down the mountain another 450m I thought the force of the Snow would destroy me, it was powerful. But in the end, I felt the avalanche slow down and I just popped (迸出)right out of the snow at the bottom of the valley.
It took Jeremy and Xavier about20 minutes to reach me. There was a pile of debris(碎片)
Across the bottom of the mountain 300m wide. They couldn't believe it when they saw me. I was so lucky

There was a kingdom long, long ago. It was ruled by king who loved riddles. Once a year the king made a new riddle. He gave a prize to the person who could solve the riddle.
There was a baker who also lived in this kingdom. Everyone agreed that he baked the finest breads. The
baker had almost everything he needed except for a horse. If the baker had a horse, he could sell his fine breads from one end of the kingdom to the other.
One year the king made a new riddle that puzzled everyone. "I will give a prize to the person
who can solve my riddle, " the king said. Whoever wins will have the pick of one of my strongest
horses." He then drew a line down the middle of the courtyard "Make this line shorter without erasing(清除) any part of it,” the king challenged.
People came from far and wide. They looked at the line and squinted at it. They even put their
noses to the ground and scratched their heads.
How can you make a line shorter without erasing any part of it?” the people in the crowd asked each other. Some of them tried. The dressmaker kicked dirt(泥土)over the line to hide it. The farmer poured water over the line to make it disappear. None of these efforts worked, and the people went home disappointed. Everyone was puzzled about how to solve this new riddle.
A week passed, and nobody had any new ideas. Then one day the baker came into the courtyard with a bag of flour(面粉).
Your Majesty, "the baker said to the king, I can make your line shorter without erasing any part of it. "Then the baker opened his bag of flour. He poured out a line of flour right next to the king’s line. The line the baker made was longer than the king’s line.
Now, good king, "the baker smiled, "your line is shorter.
The people were amazed. The king laughed and clapped his hands. "You have won the prize. I will give you a horse of your choice.

Beijing Opera is the most representative of all Chinese traditional dramatic art forms and the largest Chinese opera form. Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from absorbing(吸收)many other dramatic forms, mostly from the local drama 'Huiban', which was popular in South China during the 18th century.

Clothes are traditionally made of natural materials, such as cotton, leather and wool. They are all from plants
or animals, but that doesn’t mean they’re friendly to the earth. For example, farmers have to use a lot of chemicals to grow cotton plants.
Scientists are now looking for new ways to make clothing materials. They hope the new materials are both comfortable and good for the earth. Scientists have worked out how to make materials out of corn husks(棉籽), chicken feathers and rice straws.
“They used to be useless things. We always have a problem of how to deal with them,” Yang, a scientist says, “Now, we can turn them into beautiful materials. Chicken feathers are better than other things. They have small air pockets like honeycombs. That means it will be very warm if you use them to make a jacket or sweater, and I think more and more people will like to buy these kinds of clothes.”

We often reach a point in our life when we should be ready for change that will help us unlock our self-improvement power. However, there’s always something staring at us right under our nose but we don’t see it. The only time we think of unlocking our self-improvement power is when everything gets worst.
When do we realize that we need to change diets? When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth have fallen off. When do we realize that we need to stop smoking? When our lungs have gone bad. We see the warning signs and signals when things get rough and difficult.
The only time most of us ever learn about unlocking our self-improvement power is when the whole world is falling apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change, but change becomes more painful when we ignore(忽视) it,
Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another. we are all going to finally unlock our self-improvement power not because the world says so. But because we realize it's for our own good.
Happy people don’t just accept change; they embrace (拥抱)it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change.
Jane always tells everyone that she doesn't have the courage to be around groups of people. She heard her family tell the same things about her to other people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it!
Self-improvement may not be everybody’s favorite word, but if we look at things in a different way, we might have greater chances of enjoying the whole process instead of counting the days until we are fully improved. Three sessions in a week at the gym would result in a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our self-improvement power will we realize that we’re beginning to take things light and become happy.
1.The writer mentions the three questions in Paragraph 2 to show that .
A. we learn our lessons when we experience pain.
B. we are responsible for the problems we meet.
C. life fails us when we get into the wrong way.
D. life is a long journey full of ups and downs.
2.What is the key to solving Jane’s problem?
A. She needs to remember why she started.
B. She has to know how to get on with people.
C. She has to realize she is not what she is in her story.
D. She needs to understand the importance of confidence.
3.The writer probably agrees that .
A. the world tells us how to improve ourselves.
B. people change when they find it easy to do that.
C. welcoming change in life is a drive to become better.
D. enjoying the process of self-improvement makes life simpler.
4 .Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Is it important to take things light?
B. Is it necessary to embrace challenges?
C. To hold on to the last moment or to give up?
D. To free ourselves out of the box or to stay in it?

2.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段 Jane always tells everyone that she doesn't have the courage to be around groups of people. She heard her family tell the same things about her to other people.

Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it! 简总是告诉每个人她没有勇气和一群人在一起。她听到她的家人对其他人说关于她的同样的话。多年来,这就是简所相信的。每次一大群人来,她都后退一步,把自己锁在一个房间里。简不仅相信她的故事,而且生活在其中!可知,解决简问题的关键是她必须意识到她不是她故事中的那样的人。故选C。
3.细节理解题。根据第五段Happy people don't just accept change; they embrace(拥抱)it. 快乐的人不只是接受变化,他们拥抱变化。及最后一段And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our self-improvement power will we realize that we're beginning to take things light and become happy. 只有当我们享受开启自我提升能力的整个过程时,我们才会意识到我们开始随遇而安并变得快乐。可知,作者可能同意欢迎生活中的变化是一个变得更好的动力。故选C。
4.标题猜测题。根据第五段Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change解开自我提高的力量意味着把自己从思想的框框中解脱出来,这正是我们
的方式。对于害怕改变的人来说,这是一个很糟糕的借口。倒数第二段最后一句Every time a great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it! 每次一大群人来,她都会后退一步,把自己锁在一个房间里。简不仅相信她的故事,而且生活在其中!及最后一句And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our self-improvement power will we realize that we're beginning to take things light and become happy. 只有当我们享受开启自我提升能力的整个过程时,我们才会意识到我们开始把一切看淡并变得快乐。可知,标题可以是“把自己从思维的盒子里解放出来还是留在里面?”。故选D。

A Beautiful Moment
When I was in high school.I worked part-time helping Dad sell fruits and vegetables at a matket. One day,as I was preparing the fruits. A little boy came by with his mom and sister. He was about eight years old,and the girl.five or six. They were looking the fruits in front of me. I heard the kids say to their mom(in French),"They're good!" I knew it was French. Because I can speak and understand it.
Then I noticed how mom was picking the fruits.At first I thought she was really looking at the fruits because she was facing them. But then I noticed how much she had to feel and smell each one as she picked them out. And often asked her son if it looked okay, but looked way above where his face was. Putting what I saw together,I was sure she was blind.
Both of the kids continued to help their mom pick out the fruits .The son made sure the fruits were not obviously bad, and the daughter handed them to her mom. The woman then felt each one and smiled, and the daughter would put them into their basket .The kids were smiling while helping their mom pick the fruits out.
Their smile and gentle manner moved me in a way that never happened before .It was so beautiful to see such young kids so willingly help. Most kids that age would be picking out candies or toys in a store for themselves, instead of helping their mom pick out fruits as the two kids did.
It was great to witness the moment, but not so great because I didn’t tell the mom how beautiful her children were in their language .this is what I regret to this day.

Some primary schoolchildren have been raised in homes with more green space around. They are likely to come with larger volumes of white and grey matter in certain areas of the brain. These differences are associated(关联) with beneficial effects on cognitive function (认知功能) . This is the main conclusion of a study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health.
The study was performed among 253 schoolchildren in Spain .Lifelong exposure(接触) to green space in the living places was recorded—using the information on the children’s addresses from birth up through to the
time of the study. Brain structure was studied using 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Working memory and inattentiveness(注意力不集中)were graded with computers.
“This is the first study that shows the association between long-term exposure to green space and brain structure.” Says Dr. Payam Dadvand, the leading researcher of the study, “Our findings suggest that exposure to green space early in life could result in beneficial structural changes in the brain.”
The findings show that long-term exposure to greenness is positively associated with white and grey matter volumes in several parts of the brain. Some of them are related to higher scores on cognitive tests. Moreover, larger volumes of white and grey matter in those parts might lead to better working memory and less inattentiveness.
Exposure to nature has been thought to be necessary for brain development in children. Another study of 2,593 children shows that children in school with more green space have a greater increase in working memory and a greater decrease in inattentiveness.
Humans are believed to be tied to nature. Playing in greener areas offers children opportunities to search and learn. Accordingly, green space is thought to prompt important exercises in discovery, creativity and risk taking. These exercises in turn positively influence brain development.
Dr. Dadvand’s study suggests how such structural changes could bring about the beneficial effects of green spaces on cognitive development, it also adds to the proof that suggests the lasting effects of early life exposure to greenness on our health and the benefits of increasing greenness in cities.
Further studies are needed to prove the findings in other populations, settings and climates. And researchers need to examine differences according to the nature and quality of green space.
1.The second paragraph is mainly about .
A. how the study was performed B. what was recorded in the study
C. how long the study lasted D. who took part in the study
2.The word “prompt” in paragraph 6 probably means “ “.
A. control B. encourage C. balance D. change
3.What can we learn from the passage?
A. Working memory influences white and grey matter in the brain.
B. Dr. Dadvand stressed the importance of changing the environment.
C. Studies proved the influence of greenness on populations outs of Spain.
D. Living in greener neighborhoods benefits children in brain development.

We’re sitting too much and it’s dangerous. Most Americans spend more than seven hours sitting every day, and the more you sit, the weaker your body will be. Fortunately, there are simple changes you can make during the day——anywhere, even at the workplace—to improve your health.
Park a few blocks away from the office each morning and walk to work.
This allows you to start off your mornings actively and be ready to take on the work. If you take the bus, get off one stop earlier to take some light exercise before 8 a.m.
Get up and move around the office once every 60~90 minutes.
When you’re busy with work, it’s easy to forget the time. Set the alarm to remind(提醒) you to get up and take a walk around the office. You can use this time to fill up your water bottle or go to the bathroom.
Ask questions and discuss questions face to face.
Go to your co-worker’s office to discuss questions face to face, rather than send an e-mail every time you have a question. This gives you a good excuse to move.
Use your lunch break to move around outside.

A computer program that could help catch and ever translates from aliens in outer space has been started by a British scientist.
If aliens are discovered one day, scientists fear their language may make it possible to understand them. But John Elliott of needs Metropolitan University in Britain has come up with a program that can figure out the structure(结构)of their language. He thinks that’s the first step in understanding what they are saying.
Dr.Elliott’s program would compare an alien language to a database(数据库)of 60 different languages in the world to look for a similar structure. He believes that even an alien language will have its own structure.Language has to be structured in a certain way, or it will be harder to use,he told New Scientist magazine.
Research had shown that it is possible to know if a signal(信号)carries a language rather than a picture or music. Dr.Elliott has gone a step further by finding a way to pick out what might be words and sentences. Because languages have different word orders, Dr.Elliott has set up a library of the sentence structures of 60
human languages.
If a message is received from outer space, it could be compared against this database. Scientist would then be able to see if ti’s similar to any human language, or a mix of the language.
However, Dr.Elliott also said that in order to translate what the aliens are actually saying, it may still be necessary to have a code book.
1.Why did Dr.Elliott come up with the program?
A. To learn more about outer space. B. To develop a new language.
C. To help translate the messages for aliens. D. To compare an alien language to human languages.
2.According to Dr.Elliott, what’s the first step of understanding an alien language?
A. Coming up with a program. B. Knowing a structure.
C. Understanding aliens. D. Discovering aliens.
3.What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A. Some necessary conditions for making the program work.
B. Dr.Elliott’s findings about different kinds of languages.
C. Three important functions of the program.
D. The number of sentence structures of human languages.
4.How does the program work when it receives a message from aliens?
A. Mix the message with 60 human languages.
B. Translate the message and send it to the database.
C. Pick out the sentence structure and translate it.
D. Compare the message to the database of 60 human languages.
5.What can we infer from the story?
A. Not all languages have their own structure.
B. The structure of alien languages is similar to that of human languages.
C. To translate alien languages, there is much work to do..
D. Alien languages are signals carrying pictures and music.

The spring season brings warm weather, flowers and other changes for people to enjoy.For some restaurant cooks, the most exciting spring arrival is ramps.
Ramps are a wild plant in the eastern mountains of North America. They are one of the first plants that grow in the spring, usually between April and May. They are recognized(认出) by their red stem(茎), and two long and wide green leaves. They are also famous for their strong taste, similar to onions(洋葱).
Ramps are not as well-known as other vegetables, but they have a long history in the United States. In the Appalachian Mountains, ramps have been an important food for a longtime. During spring, it is common for small towns in the Appalachian area to hold large ramp dinners for the community.
However, over the last 30 years, ramps popularity has grown quickly. They are now a highly-desired vegetable for many nice restaurants in cities like New York and Washington D.C.
One reason the plant is popular is that it grows in the wild. It is difficult to grow them on farms. Most restaurants get them from foragers, who collect ramps by searching forests for some small pieces of land where they grow. Ramps have a short season. Within a few weeks of full growth, the plant is done for the year. This shot life is some reason for their popularity.
And that popularity could lead to their disappearance from Earth. In 1995, the local
Government in Quebee, Canada, stopped people selling the plant to businesses in order to protect the plant against being over-dug.
The season is short, but it has not ended yet. If you are in the right place, you still have time to try a taste of ramps yourself.

Fu Gui, 33, was re-connected with his birth parents after using ‘Baby Come Home’, a Chinese website that helps people find their missing children. Thanks to an online facial recognition system.
This is the first time in China a missing child and their parents have been re-connected with the help of facial recognition technology. The cutting-edge artificial intelligence(AI) technology(人工智能技术)was developed by Baidu, and has been used by ‘Baby Come Home.’ The system was launched on ‘Baby Come Home’ in March and contains thousands of pictures of missing children across the country.
Fu Guis family members had never stopped looking for him in the past 27 years. As his father
recalled, Fu Gui was born in Chongqing in 1984 and went missing in 1990. To find his son, the man uploaded Fu Gui’s information to ‘Baby Come Home’ with a picture of Fu Gui when he was four. In 2009, Fu Gui also started looking for his family, registered (注册) on the same website and uploaded a childhood picture of himself at the age of ten.
With the help of Baidu's AI technology, ‘Baby Come Home’ was able to quickly analyse the 60,000 pictures in its database(数据库). The system would first compare the faces in the target and source images, then choose 30 profiles (侧面像) that best fit the descriptions. In Fu Gui’s case, his childhood picture was chosen by the system to be one of the 30 that looked most like Fu Gui.
A DNA test was carried out to compare Fu Gui’s biological information with his parents. The test confirmed that the two parties were a match. The re-connection of the Fu Gui and his parents marked the first case in China for a missing child and their family to be matched with the help of
facial recognition technology. We think more and more missing children will find the family to their birth parents.

High-speed trains
China created its first high-speed railway line in 2008. Since then, the number of passenger trips has grown by over 30 percent every year. By 2016, more than 5 billion trips had been taken on China's bullet trains(高铁), according to Xinhua News Agency.
China is currently working on the next-generation bullet trains that will have a top speed of 400
kilometers per hour. By 2020, one-fifth of the country's 150, 000-km railway network will be used by high-speed trains. This network will link more than 80 percent of major cities across China, said Xinhua.
Mobile payment
Mobile payment is turning China into a "cashless society" led by the third-party payment companies like Alipay. For example, instead of paying by cash, customers now pay for goods simply by typing a short password into Alipay app on their mobile devices.
Users can also pay their bills through Alipay, such as their water and electricity bills. Alipay also supports cross-border(跨境的)online and in-store payment, which allows users to buy things on international websites and apps.
Shared bikes
Shared bike services started in Western countries. But China has surprised the world with how
quickly it has adopted dockless(无柱的) shared bikes.
Unlike traditional bike-sharing method, dockless bikes allow users to simply pick up or park a
bike on the street through GPS and smartphone app.
To unlock a bike, you just need to scan a QR code on a shared bike with a smartphone app. After you finish riding, you can park it at available parking areas, lock it and pay for ride through
mobile payment services.
Online shopping
With around 751 million internet users, China has been the world's largest and fastest-growing line shopping market.
Online shopping now accounts for 15. 5 percent of total retail sales in China, according to Xinhua. Thanks to lower costs and fewer licensing requirements(执照要求), it's easier for sellers
to open an online shop in China than a brick-and- mortar shop(实体店).
It also helped to create jobs of rural areas. In 2016, online shopping created more than 20 million jobs in rural areas, with over 8. 1 million running their own online shops, said Xinhua.

Trees are one of the oldest “ citizens ( 公 民) ” of our Earth. They keep our air clean, reduce noise pollution, improve water quality and provide food and building materials.
Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At 1 to 3 years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns( 刺) to warn animals not to go near. Most young trees have large, deep green leaves so that they can catch enough sunlight and change it into their food and energy.
When trees are 4 years old, they begin to grow very rapidly and become strong enough to face challenges
later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit.
It is not until the tree is 20 to 25 years old that it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. The adult tree gives us shade, oxygen and natural beauty; it is also a great place for a tree house, or a place for us to read a book, listen to music and so on. If we give the adult tree proper care, it will go on to live healthily for many years.
Gradually, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have their
important place in nature. When a tree becomes hollow ( 空 心 的 ) or part of it becomes dead, it
provides a home to small animals and is a source of food for many other animals.
In many ways, the life of a tree is similar to our own life experience. When we are looking at
the life of a tree, we learn about that each period of life brings its own form of joy and challenge.
Enjoy every minute of the life of the trees and take care of the trees!

One day,while I was waiting for my father, I saw a little boy, around two years old, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set
free from some sort of prison( 监狱) . The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his
face, as if nothing had happened.
At that moment, I thought to myself, “ Why aren’t most adults this way?” Most adults, when
they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don’t even make a second attempt. They would be so
embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they
would find a good excuse for themselves that they’re not fit for it. They would end up being too afraid
to attempt again for fear of failure( 失败) .
However, with kids, when they fall down, they don’t consider their falling down as a failure,
instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. The
answer must be that they have not connected “ falling down” with the word “ failure” . What’s more,
they probably think to themselves that it’s quite okay to fall down and that it’s not wrong to do so. In
other words, they allow themselves to make mistakes, so they remain energetic.
I was deeply impressed by the boy’s persistence( 坚持不懈) and the manner in which he did.
1.What did the little boy do when he fell down?
A. He cried and lay on the grass. B. He asked his mother for help.
C. He got up and went on running. D. He got up and stood there crying.
2.In the writer’s opinion,what might the little boy regard his falling down as?
A. A failure. B. A joke. C. An interesting game. D. A learning experience.
3.In the writer’s opinion,why can’t many adults succeed?
A. Because they are afraid of being embarrassed.
B. Because they can’t find a good excuse.
C. Because once they fail, they won’t attempt again.
D. Because they don’t allow themselves to make mistakes.
4.The underlined word “ attempt” in Paragraph 2 means .
A. 尝试 B. 放弃 C. 面对 D. 怀疑
5.What does the writer want to tell us?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Failure is the mother of success.
C. All roads lead to Rome. D. Each coin has two sides.

本文讲述的是作者的一次观察男孩自由奔跑所得到的启示。在我们成长过程中,我们不能从容面对失败和困难,而是变得虚伪和恐惧,我们需要真实的自我和面对失败的勇气。
1.细节理解题。根据句中第一段第三句:“The boy would then fall to the grass, get up,without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.(小男孩时不时地跌倒,爬起来,也不回头看他妈妈,再次尽可能快地跑,脸上仍然有笑容,好像什么事情也没有发生)”。所以答案选C。
2.细节理解题。根据文中句子“However, with kids, when they fall down, they don’t consider their falling down as a failure, instead, they treat it as a learning experience.(然而,对于孩子们,当他们跌倒时,他们不认为跌倒是个失败,相反,他们把它当作一次学习经历)”知答案选D。
3.细节理解题。根据文中句子“I thought to myself, “ Why aren’t most adults this way?” Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don’t even make a second attempt(我自己想,为什么大部分的成年人不成功?大部分的成年人,当他们失败的时候,小题大做找借口,不愿意再做第二次尝试)知答案选C。
4.词义猜测题。根据文中句子Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don’t even make a second attempt的.句意 “大部分的成年人,当他们失败的时候,小题大做找借口,不愿意再做第二次尝试”可推测:第二段划线的单词“attempt”意思是A. 尝试。所以答案选A

Today, heritage is changing. The Internet connects people around the world. In many ways this is a good thing, because we can learn about the heritage of other countries, and we can show our own heritage to the world. However, some people worry that traditional heritage is disappearing. In many ways, countries are becoming more and more alike(相似的).In most countries around the world, you can find KFC. Nike shoes, Starbucks coffee. American movies and so on. Some people think this is a good change, and others don’t like it. You can decide whether or not it's a good thing.
However, everyone wants to protect traditional heritage, and sometimes this is hard. For example, when a new KFC opens in your city, a traditional restaurant might have to close.
That is why heritage protection is so important. Heritage protection is a simple thought. It means keeping your country's or your city's heritage alive. People do this in many ways. The biggest part of heritage protection is

Although half a century has passed, Shao Guohua never forgot the film ticket his teacher gave him that warmed his heart when he was a boy. Shao entered primary school in Zigong, Sichuan Province, in 1960, Back then, sports and watching movies were the students’ favorite times.
Once, the school organized a trip to the movies for the students, and many of Shao’s classmates signed (签约) up for it. But the boy had no money to buy the 0. 05-yuau ticket.

Recently, a designer in Hong Kong has invented a special book that can transform (变形) into a piece of furniture. The special book is called Bookniture. It can be unfolded to become a chair or a small table. People can either carry it around for a portable (轻便的) chair or can store it in their homes to use as extra furniture.
The book was designed by Mike Mak. He came up with the idea after never having enough seats for his friends in his home in Hong Kong.
“I love having friends at my place, but I have never had enough seats for everyone—we would always end up with just sitting on the floor. 1 really want a seat that doesn’t take up any floor space when I don’t need it. One day, the empty space on my bookcase drew my attention. Then came the new idea—Bookniture, furniture hidden in a book,” said the 30-year-old designer.
Made from fully-recyclable kraft paper (牛皮纸) , the book measures 33 cm by 18 cm. It expands (扩大) to 14 times bigger once it’s opened, and can support up 10 1,000 kg of weight. It comes in two colors, brown and black, and can be bought for between£55 and £57.

A. it can be used as a bag to carry things

Education is very close in my heart. My father grew up in a very small village in China. In those days, not many villagers could read. So my father opened a night school to teach them how to read. With his help, many people learned to write their own names; with his help, many people learned to read newspaper for the first time; with his help, many women were able to teach their children how to read. As his daughter, I know what education means to the people, especially those without it. after generations(几代人)of hard work, China has come a long way in education.

In China, Spring Bud Education Program(春蕾计划) has helped over 3 million girls go back to school. Many of them have finished university education and they are doing well at work.
Education is about equality. In poor countries and regions(地区) the number of school dropouts(辍学) is astonishing. We call for more educational resources to these places.
Education is about the young people. Young people are the future. Education is important because it not only gives young people knowledge and skills but also helps them become responsible citizens.
Many years ago my father made a small difference in his village. Together we can make a big
difference in the world. I was once asked about my Chinese dream. I said I hope all children especially girls can have chances to get good education. This is my Chinese dream.

DIY which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programs show people how to DIY.
English people like DIY. There is a saying in UK---“An Englishman's home is his castle”. Huge numbers of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful "castles". If there is anything that needs fixing around their homes, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experience with their friends. More and more people have discovered the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. With the economy becoming worse at present, many people cannot afford a big house. They are looking at how they can make their house better with less money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.
DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture. People need to get together pieces of furniture with a few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can't understand the instructions. Sometimes the instructions are very simple but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing is for sure, though most DIY projects are started with the best ideas, many of them may not get finished. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical should be done by a professional worker. Unluckily, many people don’t care about this warming and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders.
Therefore, DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew. Maybe factories should make products that are easier and safer for us to DIY. All in all, it is a very good and suitable thing for many people.
1.What are DIY things?
A. Things that are done by yourself.
B. Things that are sold in the supermarket
C. Things that are shown on TV.

Working as a vet (兽医), I met a family who taught me an unforgettable lesson. They came to my clinic with their dying dog Coco. I examined Coco and found he was old and had a serious illness. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Coco, and euthanasia (安乐死) would be best for the dog.
On that day, they little boy Eric seemed so calm , petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if Eric understood what was going on.
The little boy seemed to accept Coco’s death without any difficulty. We sat together for a while after Coco's death, explaining that animal lives are shorter than human lives.
Eric, who had been listening quietly, piped up: "I know why."
He said, "People need a lifetime to learn how to live a good life—like loving everybody and being nice, right?" The six-year-old continued, "Well, animals already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."
I’d never heard a more soft-hearted explanation as to why animal lives are so short. It has changed the way I live. I see everyday as the day that my life could be easily taken away, so I try to live my life to the fullest.

Asking her to teach me was an unusual idea but I was determined to do it. Studies show teaching somebody else is a very useful way to lean, Even if you don't do the teaching. the act of preparing to teach leads to more learning than just trying your best to memorize the material.

So instead we starred with me asking her some simple questions. She knew some but not other. When she didn't know the answers. I encouraged her to check the book.

Do you know what you’d like to be when you grow up? It takes most people many years to find this out. For the young artist Alexandra Nechita, it never really seemed to be a question. From the day she began drawing at the age of two, she was an artist.
Alexandra Nechita was born in Romania in 1985 and moved to California when she was still a baby. As a little child, she loved colouring in her colouring books. Her parents hoped she could spend more time playing with other children, so they took away her colouring books. Alexandra began drawing her own pictures and colouring them in.
By the time Alcxandra was seven ycars old, she had begun painting with oil paints. When
Alexandra took a local art class, her teacher was amazed at the young artist’s unusual style of painting. Alexandra’s work was similar in some ways to the paintings by famous artists like Picasso. These artists did not use a realistic style of painting. They allowed their imaginations to play an
important part in their work. The interesting thing was that little Alexandra had never seen the work of these
artists. People called her “Little Picasso”. This was a great honour, but Alexandra’s style of
painting was all her own.
Alexandra’s first public show was held at a Los Angeles public library when she was
only eight years old. People were amazed at how young Alexandra was, but mostly they loved her imaginative artwork. It did not take long for Alexandra and her work to become famous. She appeared on television programs and in newspapers and magazines all over the world. The sale of a single piece can earn the young artist thousands of dollars. But that is not why Alexandra creates artwork. She just cannot imagine doing anything else that would bring her such joy and satisfaction.
Today, Alexandra is a full-time artist. She also works to help support the arts in schools. Alexandra is a strong believer in the power of art as a tool of communication and a bridge to building peace throughout the world.
1.When did Alexandra begin drawing pictures?
A. At the age of eight. B. At the age of seven.
C. At the age of two. D. In the year of 1985.
2.Alexandra was called “Little Picasso” because .
A. shc learned to paint from Picasso B. her style of painting was like Picasso’s
C. she was one of Picasso’s big fans D. her style of painting was unusual
3.What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?
A. Only painting can make her so happy and satisfied.
B. Only money can make her so happy and satisfied.
C. Anything can make her feel happy and satisfied.
D. Nothing can make her feel happy and satisfied.
4.According to the passage, which word can best describe Alexandra?
A. Polite. B. Generous. C. Patient. D. Creative.
【答案】
1.C
2.B
3.A
4.D
【解析】这篇短文给我们讲述了一个天才画家Alexandra Nechita
,她从两岁就开始画画,八岁的时候她就举办了个人画展,变得出名,她的作品可以卖到几千美元,她的画画风格很像毕加索。现在她是一个全职画家。
1.细节理解题。根据短文第一段中From the day she began drawing at the age of two, she was an artist.可知,Alexandra在两岁的时候就开始画画。由此可知应选C。
2.细节理解题。根据短文中Alexandra’s work was similar in some ways to the paintings by famous artists like Picasso. These artists did not use a realistic style of painting. They allowed their imaginations to play an important part in their work. …People called her “Little Picasso”.可知,Alexandra的画画风格在某种程度上很像著名画家毕加索的,他们都不用写实的风格,而是使用他们的想象力,因此人们把Alexandra称为“小毕加索”。故应选B。
3.推理判断题。划线的这句话She just cannot imagine doing anything else that would bring her such joy and satisfaction.本意为:她只是无法想象做其他任何能给她来到如此快乐和满足的事情。有这句话我们可以知道,Alexandra只有在画画中才能获得快乐和满足,故应选A。
4.推理判断题。根据文意可知,Alexandra从两岁就开始画画,八岁就举办了个人画展,而且尽管她根本就没有见过毕加索的画,他们的画画风格却非常像,对于这样的一个人,我们应用creative来形容,意思是“富有创造力的,有创造性的”,故D选项合适。Polite 礼貌的;Generous慷慨的,大方的;Patient耐心的。这几个形容词不符合Alexandra。

Hundreds of years ago, no dandelions (蒲公英) grew in North America. Then people
came from Europe.They had dandelion seeds on their clothes. The seeds fell from their clothes onto the ground. Since then, dandelions have spread all over.
Most people believe that dandelions are weeds. They do not want them in their gardens. But some people think that dandelion flowers are pretty. And others think that dandelions taste good. They cook dandelion leaves or put them into a fresh salad. The leaves must be picked before the flowers come out or they will not taste good. Some people make dandelion flowers into wine.
Dandelions do not die easily. If the winter is not very cold, their leaves may stay green.
When the spring arrives, their flowers come out. Each night their bright yellow flowers close
up. When the sun shines the next day, they open up again. Dandelion flowers are very unusual. They do not have to get pollen (花粉) from another dandelion flower in order to form seeds. So after several days, the yellow flower turns white and soft. A tiny brown seed forms at the bottom of each white petal (花瓣). When the wind blows, the petals float away.
Each white petal carries a seed away. This lets the dandelions spread their seeds all over.
New dandelions grow where the seeds land.
1.The underlined word “weeds” means .
A. pretty flowers B. fresh vegetables C. wild plants D. green trees

这篇短文给我们介绍的是一种植物—蒲公英,包括蒲公英的历史、人们对它的利用、它的花以及种子的形成和传播。
1.词义猜测题。根据这个单词所在的句子Most people believe that dandelions are weeds. They do not want them in their gardens.可知,人们不想在他们的花园里种植蒲公英,因为他们认为蒲公英是weeds,由此我们可以推断,人们觉得蒲公英是不好的,因此这个词的意思不是美丽的花、新鲜的蔬菜或绿色的树,它的意思是“野草”,故应选C。
2.细节理解题。根据短文中And others think that dandelions taste good. They cook dandelion leaves or put them into a fresh salad. The leaves must be picked before the flowers come out or they will not taste good.可知,蒲公英的叶子必须在开花之前采摘,否则味道就不好了。由此可知应选C。
3.主旨大意题。这篇短文给我们介绍了蒲公英这种植物,第一段主要是蒲公英的历史;第二段讲述了人们如何使用蒲公英;第三段讲述的这种植物的生命力顽强以及它的种子是如何形成和传播的。因此A和C两个选项都太片面,概括不了整篇文章的内容;D选项根本在文章中没有提到。故应选B,“蒲公英—花还是食物?”,这个题目体现了文章的关键词Dandelions,比较全面。

If you want to travel from Xi'an to Chengdu by train, it will take about 16 hours. But starting this month, the new Xi'an-Chengdu high-speed railway will shorten this travel time to three hours.
The 643-kilometer line is China's first high-speed railway to run through the Qinling
Mountains, which form a natural boundary(分界线) between China's north and south. With a speed of 250 km per hour, it's also the first mountain-heavy train line to provide a 4G network.
Along the way, the train passes through two areas for rare(稀有) wild animals — one for pandas and the other for crested ibises(朱鹮).
To reduce the railway's influence on the animals, workers and experts have designed and built the railway to be environmentally friendly, China Daily reported.
In September, there were 345 wild pandas living in the Qinling Mountains. China now has l,864 wild pandas in total, according to the Xinhua News Agency.
To avoid disturbing the pandas, the railway was designed to run through tunnels(隧道)
within the area. Protective shields(防护屏) are placed near the entrance of each tunnel to stop animals from going in.
To avoid hurting the thousands of crested ibises that fly near one part of the railway, protective nets have been set up along the tracks to make sure the birds will not fly into a train.
The nets are about 32 km long and 4 meters high. Experts tested different shapes and materials for building the nets before making their final choice.(A report in December, 2017)

Shang Yang was a politician of the Qin state. He was very wise and forward-thinking(有远见的). He worked out several reform plans for the state, including focusing on farming and giving rewards(奖赏) to soldiers who were successful during war.
But at the beginning, these reforms were not easily carried out. Only a few people in the state understood Shang's talent and the advantages of his plans. Most people had little trust and confidence in him.
To solve this problem, Shang came up with an idea. He ordered some soldiers to put a thin wooden pole at the south gate of the Qin state capital. This attracted many people. Then, in front of the crowd, he said loudly: "People of Qin, whoever takes this pole to the north gate will get a reward of 10 gold pieces."
It was a simple task and the reward was big. Some time passed and no one stepped forward. They all thought that Shang was joking. Hearing no answer, Shang stepped forward and said, "I will increase the reward to 50 gold pieces."
The words sounded even more unbelievable. Finally, a man from the crowd came forward to take the pole. He put the pole on his shoulders and walked to the north gate. True to his word, Shang paid the man 50 gold pieces.
Soon, the people were saying that Shang was a man of his word. When he began promoting(推行) his reforms, the people followed and did not question him.
Under the great reforms, Qin grew strong and united all the states, becoming the first empire of China. Later, people drew the Chinese idiom “立木取信” from this story.

W hat was discovered by accident? The answer is penicillin (青霉素). It kills germs. By killing germs, it saves lives. Suppose you are sick. You go to a doctor. She examines you. She says you have a “staph” infection (葡萄球菌感染). She gives you some medicine. You take it. The medicine knocks out the staph. Soon you are well. Before penicillin, this would not happen. Staph was almost sure death.
Everyone wanted a medicine. Laboratories worked day and night. They grew the staph in small dishes. Then they tried to kill it. Nothing worked.
The laboratory dishes had covers on them. They kept things from falling into dishes. Molds (霉菌) were a big worry. They are always in the air. You can’t see them. They’re too small. There are thousands of different molds. Molds can make an experiment (实验) fail. That’s why dishes are covered.
Dr. Alexander Fleming was working to kill the staph germ. He worked for years. One day he took a cover off a dish. He looked inside. There was a thick growth of staph germ. There was also some mold. Then he saw something strange. Where the mold was, there was no growth of staph. This is what Fleming probably thought. “By accident, I found a mold to kill the dreaded staph.”
This is how penicillin was found. But here’s the real miracle (奇迹). There are thousands of kinds of molds. But only one kind can kill staph. The mold must have fallen into the dish a few days before. The cover was probably off only a few seconds (秒). In those few seconds the right mold fell into the right dish. Another man might have thrown the dish away. But Fleming was very careful and smart. He understood what the mold did. How lucky the humans were!
根据短文内容,选择最佳答案
1.During the experiments to find a medicine for staph infections, ________.
A. the dishes were not covered
B. staph and mold were put together
C. mold was kept in small dishes
D. staph was grown in small dishes
2.The word “ dreaded” means “_______”.
A. famous B. scary
C. health D. endangered
3.The last paragraph suggests that _______.
A. accidents happen to everyone
B. the careful person does not have accidents
C. the careless person will miss valuable chances
D. luck is enough when doing scientific experiments
4.Most of this passage is written by ______.
A. telling an unusual story B. showing the results of experiments

"I'm getting them ready for being put into the recycling box," said Mom.
"Well, they are rubbish to us, because we don' t need them anymore. I wash the cans out so that they won't attired insects," said Mom. "We don' t use some things, but it doesn't mean they have no value. These cans can be melted (熔化) down to make new cans or other things."

Some cool inventions are listed in Science Magazine's 25 best inventions of 2018. They are "making the world better, smarter and -- in some cases -- a little more fun", according to the magazine's website. Do you want to lean more about some of the inventions? Let's find out.
● Spark
Spark is a new type of drones (飞行器) made by a Chinese company (公司) in Shenzhen called DJI. It can help people take photos and videos. Spark might be the smallest drone ever made. When folded, it is as small as
a can of cola (可乐罐). The coolest part is that users can control the small drone just by using hand gestures(手势). For example, if you wave (挥动) your hand from left to right, the drone will fly in the same direction. When you want it to land, you just put your hand out. The drone will come to you and land on your hand.
● Social Robot
Robots may not be good communicators. But Jibo, made by US company Jibo Inc, may be different. With a big, round head and round, fat body, Jibo looks like a cartoon character. As soon as you say, "Hey, Jibo." It will giggle(咯咯地笑), dance and turn to face you. When it talks to you, it moves its head and body naturally to communicate with you. Although it has no eyes or mouth, Jibo uses animated icons (生动的表情), such as a smile icon, to show emotions. Right now Jibo can only do some basic things, like taking photos or reading the news to you. But it may learn to do more in the future.
1.According to the passage, we know _______.
A. Spark might be bigger than any other drones.
B. Spark is controlled by using hand gestures.
C. Spark can only fly towards the same direction.
D. Spark is created by a US company.
2.Jibo is ________.
A. a robot
B. a drone
C. a wheel
D. the name of a magazine
3.What can we know about Jibo?
A. It has a round head and a thin body.
B. It looks like a cartoon character.
C. It can do lots of difficult work.
D. It has two eyes and a mouth.
4.What do the two inventions have in common?
A. Both of them are made by Chinese companies.
B. Both of them have big bodies.
C. Both of them can fly in the sky.
D. Both of them can help us take photos.

Imagine a perfect day: the weather is good and everything seems fine. When, suddenly, your mobile phone loses its signa l, the television has no programs, and you can’t get online with your computer.
What has happened? These are just the types of problems a solar storm(太阳风 暴)might cause. You may not think of storms as putting our society in danger. But today, a solar storm is as serious as other bad events, such as earthquakes.
A solar storm is caused by solar flares(太阳耀斑): large explosions(爆炸)near the sun that can give
off lots of energy. The strong energy can stop the satellite systems(卫星系统)that control our computers, telecom networks and so on. These storms can even cause the power to go out for weeks or months.
In the past few months, scientists have recorded some of the strongest sun flares in years. The most recent one happened around Valentine’s Day, 2011. It caused radio and satellite signals to go down in some northern cities in China.
“Solar flare activity is going to be much worse than what we’ve seen in the past. We’re not talking about a few cities losing power, it could be half of the country, maybe more.” SolarStormWarning.com, a US website about space weather, warned.
Scientists say that little can be done to predict such a storm. Governments around the world are trying to work together before the next storm, although they are not sure when that may happen.
根据短文内容,选择最佳选项,并在答题卡上将选定的答案字母标号涂黑。

4.The writer wrote the passage mainly to .
A. call for scientists to predict when the next solar storm will happen
B. tell people how to solve the problems caused by solar storms
C. introduce what solar storms are to people
D. ask people to work to prevent the solar storm from happening

Mary, a poorly-dressed girl, did not fight with the other children,but stood quietly in distance.When the badly-behaved children had left,Mary took the smallest piece,which was all left in the basket.She kissed the cook’s hand and went home.
The next day the children were as badly-behaved as before. Mary got a piece of bread almost half the size of the one she got the first day.When she came home,her mother cut the bread open. Many new, shining pieces of silver fell out of it.

Hurry up, Mary” When the little girl gave the rich man her mother ’s message, he said, “It was no mistake.I had the silver pieces put into the smallest bread for you as a prize.

本文介绍了在饥荒年代,一位富有的厨师救济穷孩子,他在镇上选了最穷的二十个孩子作为救济对象,其中有一名女孩,没有和其他孩子一样去疯抢篮子里的面包,而是拿了剩下的最小的一块。第二天同样如此。但是这次,这位女孩的面包里有许多新的闪闪发光的银片。在母亲的劝说下,归还银子的故事。最后厨师把银片给了女孩,以示奖励。
1.细节理解题。首先,进行定位:根据题目 What did Mary do while the others fought over the bread?可定位在文中的第二段的第三句:Mary, a poorly-dressed girl, did not fight with the other children, but stood quietly in distance.因此可以得出答案 A。中文句意为“一个穿着破烂名叫玛丽的小女孩并没有和其他孩子争抢,而是静静地站在远处。”本题出现中考高频转折连词“but”. 答案出现在这个连词后面。
2.细节理解题。根据题目“How did the girl express her thanks to the cook?”可以定位到文中的第二段最后一句进行理解,“She kissed the cook’s hand and went home.”她亲吻了这个厨师然后回了家,因此答案选B。其中考生需知道 express 为“表达”的含义。
3.细节理解题。根据题目“Why did the cook put the silver pieces into the bread?”可到文中定位到第五段第二句“I had the silver pieces put into the smallest bread for you as a prize”.可知富人把银片放在最小的一片面包里给玛丽的作为奖励。因此答案选C。
4.细节理解题。根据文中第四段第一句她的妈妈让她快点把银片还回给富人“Take the money back to the cook at once.”可知妈妈是非常诚实的一个人,文中并没有出现跟诚实有关的词汇,需要考生对这句话进行理解之后才能选出正确答案。答案选D。
5.主旨大意题。本文为故事类阅读,此题要纵观全文进行理解,其中 A 选项为一些面包,B 选项为一些银片,C 选项为一个好女孩,D 选项为一个富有的厨师。本文介绍了一位贫困的女孩在得到了一小块面包里的银子后,在母亲的劝说下,归还银子的故事。说明了女孩是一位好女孩。故选C。

In 1997,12-year-old American girl Caitlin and 14-year-old Zimbabwean (津巴布韦人) Martin became pen friends through their schools. They didn’t realize at that time how their handwritten letters would change their lives.
It all began as a school task. Everyone in Caitlin’s class was supposed to choose a pen friend from another country. All the other kids picked countries like France or Germany, but Caitlin chose Zimbabwe because the
name sounded exotic(异国的) and cool.
Martin lived with his family in one of Zimbabwe’s worst slums(贫民窟) where they shared one room with another family. And a bed was their only piece of furniture.
When Caitlin’s first letters reached Martin, they were simple and general. The two kids wrote about their favorite music and what they liked to do. But as Martin gradually revealed more about his life and his letters started arriving written on pieces of trash, Caitlin realized what the living conditions were like for Martin. Without telling her parents, she began sending money with her letters—$ 20 at a time. While the money was not much to Caitlin, it meant more food for Martin’s family and enabled him to pay his school fees.
It lasted six years from their first exchange of letters to Martin’s arrival in the United States. With the help of the money from Caitlin’s parents later on, Martin finished his university and got his MBA from Duke University.
Today, Caitlin and Martin aren’t only best friends, but they also share their story in a book called I Will Always Write Back. They want to encourage readers to look beyond their own lives and do something kind for others, which might greatly influence their lives.
1. is from Zimbabwe?
A. Duke B. Caitlin C. Martin D. Frank

B. Martin lived a very hard life in one of the worst slums in Zimbabwe.
C. Martin’s family could get more food with Caitlin’s money in the letters.

这篇短文讲述的是12岁的美国女孩Caitlin和14岁的津巴布韦男孩Martin偶然地成为了笔友,他们之间的通信维持了很多年,还改变了彼此的生活。
1.细节理解题。根据短文第一句话In 1997,12-year-old American girl Caitlin and 14-year-old Zimbabwean (津巴布韦人) Martin became pen friends through their schools.可知,Martin是来自津巴布韦的14岁男孩。由此可知应选C。
2.词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在的句子But as Martin gradually revealed more about his life and his letters started arriving written on pieces of trash, Caitlin realized what the living conditions were like for Martin.可知,Caitlin意识到了Martin的生活条件,这是Martin在信中告诉给她的,因此reveal这个词的意思应该是“透露”,故应选B。
3.细节理解题。根据文意Caitlin chose Zimbabwe…. When Caitlin’s first letters reached Martin…With the help of the money from Caitlin’s parents later on, Martin finished his university and got his MBA from Duke University….Today, Caitlin and Martin aren’t only best friends, but they also share their story in a book called I Will Always Write Back.可知,Caitlin先选择了一个来自津巴布韦的笔友,然后他们开始通信,后来在Caitlin及家人的帮助下,Martin从杜克大学获得了MBA学位,现在他们仍然一起在一本书中分享他们的故事。故应选C。
4.推理判断题。根据短文第五段中It lasted six years from their first exchange of letters to Martin’s arrival in the United States.可知,Caitlin和Martin的通信维持了六年,不是五年,故D是错误的。根据第二段中All the other kids picked countries like France or Germany, but Caitlin chose Zimbabwe because the name sounded exotic(异国的) and cool.可知A符合文意;根据第三段Martin lived with his family in one of Zimbabwe’s worst slums(贫民窟) where they shared one room with another family. And a bed was their only piece of furniture.可知B符合文意;根据第四段Without telling her parents, she began sending money with her letters—$ 20 at a time. While the money was not much to Caitlin, it meant more food for Martin’s family and
enabled him to pay his school fees.可知C符合文意。
5.主旨大意题。根据文意可知,这篇短文讲述了两个来自不同国家的人成为了笔友,他们之间的通信还改变了彼此的生活。因此A选项The Two Pen Friends点明了文章的主要人物,切合文章的内容,故应选A。

When it comes to shopping for clothes, my mother and I have always disagreed on what fits me well. To me, if it zips, it fits. My mom, however, usually tells me I need a bigger size.
When I was a teenager, I wanted to dress like my friends, but my body size made it impossible. When mom told me something didn’t suit me, or I needed a bigger size, all I heard was that my body was wrong.
To avoid arguments, we stopped going shopping together. This continued until I got engaged(订婚) last year and needed to buy some clothes. When I tried on a blouse, my mother looked at me, and I knew what was coming. “You need a bigger size,” she said.
There was no bigger size. I tried to hold back my tears(眼泪). Maybe I could buy it alone, of course, but my mom is my favorite person to hang out with. The idea of looking for a wedding dress without her seemed just as scary as taking her with me.
And so the day came. As I tried on a simple white dress, I saw tears in my mom’s eyes. “You look beautiful!” she told me. Nothing could have shocked me more.
This one didn’t zip up at the back and I did actually need a bigger size, but my mother didn’t say that. She just told me how beautiful I looked. In that moment, all the arguments in the past ended. We didn’t buy a dress that day. We decided to see more.
A few weeks later, we found the perfect dress. We both loved it as soon as I put it on.
And during those few weeks, mom and I also found the perfect fit for our shopping relationship.
1.What does the writer want to show in the first two paragraphs?
A. She likes the clothes with zippers while her mother doesn’t agree with her.
B. In mom’s opinion, her body is wrong and she is too fat to wear what she likes.
C. She really wants to dress like her friends, but her mom doesn’t allow her to do so.
D. She and mom always disagree on what clothes fit her because of wrong understanding.
2.Haw did the writer probably feel after she tried on the simple white dress?
A. Funny and surprised. B. Shocked and sorry.
C. Proud and moved. D. Excited and scary.
3.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mainly mean?
A. I couldn’t shop for a wedding dress myself because my mom disagreed.
B. I felt kind of scary when I went shopping with my mother for a wedding dress.
C. I felt like shopping for a wedding dress with mom though she thought it was scary.
D. I wanted to shop for a wedding dress alone but I couldn’t stand shopping without mom.
4.Which is the besl word to describe the perfect fit for their shopping relationship?
A. Missing. B. Embarrassing, C. Understanding. D. Encouraging.
5.What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Praising makes the perfect fit for their shopping relationship.

这篇短文讲述的是作者和妈妈在给自己买衣服这件事上,一开始总是意见不合。但后来作者要结婚了,在买婚纱的时候,母女二人的互相理解以及对彼此的爱,促使他们改变了他们的购物关系。
1 .细节理解题。根据前两段的内容尤其短文第一句话When it comes to shopping for clothes, my mother and I have always disagreed on what fits me well.可知,作者和她的妈妈在什么样的衣服适合她这件事上总是有不同的意见,故应选D。
2.推理判断题。根据短文第五段As I tried on a simple white dress, I saw tears in my mom’s eyes. “You look beautiful!” she told me. Nothing could have shocked me more.
可知,当作者试穿了一件简单的白色礼服的时候,她看到妈妈眼睛里喊着泪,夸她非常漂亮,听到妈妈的话,作者感到非常的震惊,因为她和妈妈在挑衣服的时候总是意见不同。再根据下文This one didn’t zip up at the back and I did actually need a bigger size, but my mother didn’t say that.可知,其实作者的确需要更大一点尺寸的衣服,但是妈妈没有像以前那样说出来,所以作者的心里还会为妈妈的让步感到内心的抱歉,故B选项合适。
3.细节理解题。根据划线部分的这句话The idea of looking for a wedding dress without her seemed just as scary as taking her with me.可知,这句话本意为:在没有妈妈陪伴的情况下去找一件婚纱的这个想法就跟带着她和我一起买一样的可怕。从这句话我们可以看出,作者既想妈妈陪着她一起去买婚纱,但又怕和妈妈的意见不合,想要单独去买,这样的矛盾心情,故应选D。
4.推理判断题。根据文意可知,一开始作者和妈妈对于买衣服这件事总是意见不合,但经过了买婚纱的事情之后,他们找到了最适合的购物关系。从买婚纱的那件事我们可以看到,作者试穿的婚纱实际上需要再大一号的,但妈妈没有说,还夸作者非常的漂亮;作者了解了妈妈的心情,最后并没有买那件婚纱,所以母女二人是达到了互相的理解,所以他们最后买到了一件他们都喜欢的婚纱。故应选C。
5.主旨大意题。这篇短文讲述的是作者和妈妈在给自己买衣服这件事上,一开始总是意见不合。但后来作者要结婚了,在买婚纱的时候,母女二人的互相理解以及互相的爱,促使他们改变了他们的购物关系。通过讲述这件事,作者是想要告诉我们:爱是家庭成员之间良好沟通的一切。故C选项最符合文意。

A lot of people drink bottled water in the world. A water bottle offers great convenience. It can be bought almost anywhere, carried around for a while, and then thrown away.
The influence of bottled water on the environment, however, is very big. About 2.7 million tons of plastic is turned into bottles which are only used once each year. This requires a lot of oil and water. It also produces greenhouse gases. Bottled water is often carried for long distances to reach people who buy it. This uses even more fossil fuels(化石燃料) and creates more pollution. Although the bottles can be recycled, only small parts of them are. The United States only recycles about 23 percent. The rest are part of a growing waste problem.
Convenience isn't the only reason for bottled water to become popular. Many people believe that it must be cleaner and healthier than tap water from public water systems. But this is not true. In developed countries such as the United States and some countries in Europe, laws about safe water are often stricter for tap water than for bottled water.
It may come as a surprise that nearly 40 percent of the water bottled in the United States starts from tap water. Before bottling, some companies filter(过滤)it, and they might add some things for taste. What's more, bottled water can cost from 240 to 10, 000 times more than tap water.
“Back to the tap" activities start around the world, In order to save money, use fewer resources, and create less waste, they support using tap water and reusable bottles rather than bottled water. San Francisco and other cities across the United States no longer allow their government departments to buy Many bottled water companies are trying to improve, too. They have reduced the use of plastic in their bottles.
1.What's the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The difficulty of transporting the bottles B. The advantages of bottled water
C. The ways to produce bottled water D. The problem caused by bottled water
2.Why is bottled water popular?
A. Because people think it is the water from nature
B. Because people think it is convenient and safe
C. Because people think it is cheaper than tap water
D. Because people think it can prevent illnesses
3.The underlined word "them" in paragraph 2 means “________”.
A. fossil fuels B. the bottles C. water systems D. greenhouse gases
4.Which of the following is one of the "Back to the tap" activities?
A. Forbid producing the bottled water
B. Support using tap water and reusable bottles
C. Use many resources and create much waste
D. Use many resources and create little waste
5.What's the best title for the passage?
A. “ Back to the tap" activities B. Bottled water or tap water?

这篇短文给我们介绍的是现在很多人都喜欢喝瓶装水,人们觉得他们用起来很方便,而且水也更干净。但其实瓶装水并不比自来水更干净,而且瓶装水造成了很多的污染和浪费。因此“回到自来水”活动在全世界开始了。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段的内容可知,这一段的中心句是第一句话The influence of bottled water on the environment, however, is very big.,在这一段中作者介绍了瓶装水给环境带来的问题。由此可知应选D。
2.细节理解题。根据短文第一段中A water bottle offers great convenience以及第三段中Many people believe that it must be cleaner and healthier than tap water from public water systems.可知,人们喜欢瓶装水,是因为他们非常的方便,而且比自来水更干净、更健康。由此可知B选项是符合文意的。故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据划线的这个词所在的句子Although the bottles can be recycled, only small parts of them are可知,这里说的是尽管瓶子可以回收,但只有一小部分可以回收。这里的them代指的是上句话中的the bottles,瓶子,故应选B。
4.细节理解题。根据短文最后一段中In order to save money, use fewer resources, and create less waste, they support using tap water and reusable bottles rather than bottled water.可知,“回到自来水”这一活动支持使用自来水、可重复使用的瓶子,而不是瓶装水。由此可知B选项是正确的,其他三个选项也同时可以排除。
5.主旨大意题。这篇短文先从瓶装水的流行开始,然后点明了他们对环境造成的问题,最后提到了“回到自来水”这一活动。因此B选项“瓶装水还是自来水?”这个问题作为题目,能够概括文章的中心,点明文章的主旨,故选B。A选项太片面;C选项没有点明文章的主题;D选项不符合文意。

2. What do you think of this sign? Believe it or not, 80% of netizens use it under the meaning of “It
is not funny at all, but I have to smile.” Is it right? Of course not! It actually means that “I saw what you did(usually bad things) and I want to give you a sinister(奸诈的)smile.”
3. People have very different opinions on this emoji. The Apple company has told that this emoji means “high five(嗨,击掌).” But most people still use the incorrect meaning—“pray”. Some netizens even thought, “If you see this emoji as two people give each other a high five, you must be a bad guy.”
4. According to the official guidelines(官方指南), it is used as “smile through tears(破涕为笑).” However, most young netizens consider this emoji as “Laugh to tears” or simply “LOL”, which means “Laugh out loud”.

You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABCs? You may like eating bananas. But do you know there are such people with the name of "banana persons"? Are these people from "another planet (星球)"? No. They are just Chinese people like you and me.
ABC means American-born-Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a "banana person". A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So, a "banana person" is white inside -- thinking like a westerner and yellow outside -- looking like a Chinese.
Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or Chinese language. Most of them don't speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics (政治). But if ABCs can't speak Chinese. can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas (海外的) Chinese. These people may be citizens (公民) of other countries like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair. But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not people of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C.N. Yang (杨振宁). He got the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.
1."ABC" in this passage means "_________".
A. a kind of banana

2.细节理解题。根据短文第二段中So, a "banana person" is white inside -- thinking like a westerner and yellow outside -- looking like a Chinese.可知,“香蕉人”指的是里面是白色的,即思维方式像西方人;而外面是黄色的,即外表是中国人。由此可知应选B。

Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair.可知,ABC这样的人是其他国家的公民,但是他们的父母、祖父母甚至曾祖父母都是中国人,他们都有黑色的眼睛和黑色的头发。由这些内容我们可以知道blood指的是血统,故应选A。
4.推理判断题。根据短文的最后For example, we all know the famous scientist C.N. Yang (杨振宁). He got the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.可知,文章最后以杨振宁举例,告诉我们他就是一个ABC,他在1957年获得了诺贝尔奖,中国人民都很喜欢他,但是他是美国公民,不是中国公民。故应选C。

The first Chinese actor captured (征服) the hearts of many Chinese in the USA. He read a letter by Zhuge Liang(181~ 234) to the emperor of Shuhan during the Three Kingdoms(220~280) period in the new season of Growling Tiger and Roaring Dragon(《虎啸龙吟》)
The letter has been read by so many students. We would never have thought that the text written in old Chinese could be so beautifully read in another language. As a result, foreigners begin to show interest in Rommance of the Three Kingdoms, translated bt C.H. Brewitt-Tailor and Robert E. Hegel.
Earlier in November 1979, pupils in England were able to watch a new TV program called Monkey. Most of them were hearing the story for the first time. However, the story of the Mokey King isn’t new to Chinese Children in the traditional Chinese book Journey to the West.
As soon as the TV programme came out more than 30 years ago, western children became interested in reading this story because the clever Monkey King keeps fighting to help the weak and never gives up.
Chinese scholars(学者) should do a better job of introducing Chinese literature(文学) to the rest of the world. At the same time, we could encourage western schools to try something different.
Reading international literature is an effective way of understanding other people in the world. And the more we understand each other, the more beautiful the world will be.

Tony never eats fish. This is not because he is allergic(过敏) to fish as food. He simply does not like the taste of it. You may not think this quite surprising, until I tell you that he has been a fisherman of one kind or another for most of his life.
At first, fishing was just a hobby. He used to sit on the river bank with his fishing rod(鱼竿) in his hand, waiting to feel the pull on the line. It meant a fish was trying to get the food from the hook(鱼钩). He wound(收回) the line as soon as possible and took the hook from the fish’s mouth, recorded its size in a notebook, then threw it back into the water.
Later, he used to go to sea on his friend’s fishing boat. Instead of throwing back the fish they caught, his friend took them home, where his wife cooked them or put them in the fridge for future meals.
Finally, Tony took a job on a large fishing boat. In their huge nets, they caught many fish at a time. Every time Tony found some small fish in the nets, he would say to himself: “How poor you are!” Again, Tony threw the small fish back into the sea.

“You have saved my horse,” Queen Olivia told the young boy standing before her. “Now you shall get a gift for what you did.” Peter nervously ran his fingers through his brown hair. That day when he was working in the field, the shocked horse ran past him. Without thinking, he rushed out and controlled it. He didn’t know it was the Queen’s horse and never expected to get a gift. But he still felt happy for getting one.
Two of the queen’s men appeared. One carried a mirror. Red jewels(珠宝) shone on top of the mirror’s silver frame(框架). The other carried a wooden cage with a chicken inside it.
“Only one gift can be yours,” the queen said. “Choose wisely.” “That’s easy,” Peter said. “I’ll take the chicken.” Some of the queen’s men laughed. It was clear that they thought he had made a foolish choice.
“And why did you choose the chicken?” the queen asked. “Well, I don’t know much about jewels,” Peter answered. “But I do know about chickens. The chicken will provide eggs for my family for a long while.”
Queen Olivia smiled. “Then you did make a wise choice,” she said. “That mirror may look beautiful. But the jewels you see are only colored glass, and the frame is painted silver. The chicken is much more valuable.” Peter took the chicken and bowed. “Thank you, your majesty.”
“You are a smart child,” the queen added. “I could use a smart boy to help take care of my horses. Would you like to take the job?” Peter smiled. “Thank you very much!” he said excitedly. A job at the castle paid well. Now his family wouldn’t worry about their food any more--all because he was kind to help others and smart enough to make the right choice!

短文大意:年轻的彼得无意间救了奥利维亚女王的马,女王让他在珠宝和小鸡之间选择一种作为礼物,彼得选择了他所熟悉的鸡,因为他知道鸡能给他的家庭提供鸡蛋。女王认为彼得确实做出了明智的选择,认为彼得是个聪明的孩子,决定让他照顾自己的马。有了这份工作,彼得获得了很好的报酬,帮助他的家人过上了更好的生活。
1.细节理解题。根据短文开头的句子“You have saved my horse,”Queen Olivia told the young boy standing before her.“Now you shall get a gift for what you did.”可知,女王送给彼得一件礼物,因为他救了她的马。故答案为A。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段中的句子Peter said.“I’ll take the chicken.”可知,彼得决定选择鸡,答案为C。
3.细节理解题。根据“That’s easy,”Peter said.“I’ll take the chicken.”可知,彼得很容易做出选择;根据“Some of the queen’s men laughed. It was clear that they thought he had made a foolish choice.”可知,他们认为彼得的决定是愚蠢的;根据“But I do know about chickens. The chicken will provide eggs for my family for a long while.”可知,彼得认为母鸡能为他的家庭提供鸡蛋,对他的家人是有用的;根据“Well, I don’t know much about jewels,”Peter answered.可知,彼得对珠宝不是很了解。故正确答案为C。
4.句子排序题。通读短文我们可以知道彼得救了女王的马,将得到女王送给他的礼物,彼得明智地做出了选择,选择了他所熟悉的东西,女王认为彼得确实做出了明智的选择,认为彼得是个聪明的孩子,决定让他照顾自己的马,有了这份工作,彼得获得了很好的报酬,帮助他的家人过上了更好的生活。因此能够反映故事情节句子的顺序为c b a d,答案选B。
5.推理判断题。根据文中句子Queen Olivia smiled. “Then you did make a wise choice,” she said. “That mirror may look beautiful. But the jewels you see are only colored glass, and the frame is painted silver. The chicken is much more valuable.” 女王认为彼得确实做出了明智的选择,彼得所看到的珠宝只是彩色玻璃,框架被涂成银色,鸡更值钱一些。再结合前面彼得所说的话“我对珠宝不是很了解,鸡将为我的家人提供鸡蛋很长一段时间。”因此我们可以推断彼得选择他熟悉的东西是明智的。故答案为D。

When you feel a sneeze(喷嚏)or cough coming on, covering your mouth prevents the spread of germs(细菌). You probably knew that.
But how to cover your mouth is very important. You might use tissues(纸巾), and put your used tissues into the bin. “If you don’t have tissues, you should sneeze into your elbow, not your hand, even if you are used to doing that.” The doctors advised.
“If somebody sneezes into his hands, those germs will be passed on to other people, or other objects that people touch.” said Dr. Hill.
Germs are most commonly spread by sneezing and coughing. When they land on your hands, they are passed from hands to things like bills, door knobs(扶手), elevator buttons(电梯按钮) and other surfaces. At the same time, the people around you can touch them.
This isn’t nagging(唠叨). The Centers for Disease Control also suggest that sneezing and coughing into your elbow is necessary. Even the New York City subway officers ask the passengers to “cough or sneeze into
elbow or use a tissue.”
“The suggestion was taken seriously about 10 years ago. However, most people didn’t pay much attention to it. That means the adults may have missed the advice. But children are often taught in school the right way to cough or sneeze.” Dr. Benjamin said.
To be clear, people can’t keep away from all the risks in this way, but it’s the best choice. At the same time, we’d better wear masks(口罩) and often wash our hands. “Hand washing is one of the most important things people can do to keep healthy.” Dr. Hill said.
1.According to this passage, when sneezing or coughing, you’d better NOT .
A. sneeze into your elbow
B. cover your mouth with tissues
C. use your hand to cover mouth
D. put the used tissues in the bin
2.If you sneeze or cough into hands, germs can spread through the following activities EXEPT .
A.
B.
C.
D.
3.Which is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The New York City subway officers ask passengers to use a tissue.
B. The adult may be used to sneezing into their elbow.
C. The children are often taught in school the right way to cough or sneeze.
D. Wearing masks is a good way to keep away from germs.
4.What’s the main purpose of this article? .
A. To tell us the correct way to cover mouth when sneezing or coughing.
B. To tell us how to prevent the spread of germs.
C. To tell us it’s necessary to sneeze or cough into elbow.
D. To tell us how to keep away from all risks.

这是一篇有关健康方面的文章。告诉我们打喷嚏或咳嗽时最好不要用手捂住嘴,因为细菌会落到手上,它们会从手中传递到纸币、门把手、电梯按钮等其他物体的表面而传播给他人。只有及时洗手才能洗掉细菌,防止细菌传播。戴口罩也是有效防止细菌传播的好方法。
1.细节理解题。根据文中句子“If you don’t have tissues, you should sneeze into your elbow, not your hand. If somebody sneezes into his hands, those germs will be passed on to other people, or other objects that people touch.”可知,打喷嚏或咳嗽时,最好不要用手捂住嘴,如果打喷嚏到手上,这些病菌就会传染给其他人或其他人接触的物体。故答案选C。
2.细节理解题。根据第四段中的句子“Germs are most commonly spread by sneezing and coughing. When they land on your hands, they are passed from hands to things like bills, door knobs(扶手), elevator buttons(电梯按钮) and other surfaces.”可知,打喷嚏和咳嗽时用手捂嘴,细菌会落到手上,它们会从手中传递到纸币、门把手、电梯按钮和其他的表面。因此电梯按钮、握手和门把手都是细菌的传播途径,只有及时洗手才能洗掉细菌,防止细菌传播,答案为D。
3.判断正误题。根据Even the New York City subway officers ask the passengers to “cough or sneeze into elbow or use a tissue.”就连纽约地铁官员也要求乘客“咳嗽或打喷嚏到肘部或使用纸巾。A正确;根据If you don’t have tissues, you should sneeze into your elbow, not your hand, even if you are used to doing that.
可知,以前人们打喷嚏或咳嗽时,习惯用手捂住嘴,B答案错误;根据But children are often taught in school the right way to cough or sneeze.可知,孩子们经常在学校里被教授一些咳嗽或打喷嚏的正确方法。C答案正确;根据At the same time, we’d better wear masks(口罩)and often wash our hands.可知,戴口罩也是远离细菌的好方法。D答案也是正确的。不正确的只有B。
4.主旨大意题。根据短文开头的句子When you feel a sneeze(喷嚏)or cough coming on, covering your mouth prevents the spread of germs(细菌).可知,本文主要通过打喷嚏和咳嗽时应该如何做来告诉我们如何防止细菌的传播这一目的。故答案选B。
5.推理判断题。根据短文最后的句子“Hand washing is one of the most important things people can do to keep healthy.”可知,短文主要介绍了如何有效防止细菌的传播,最大限度地保持身体健康。是有关健康方面的文章,故答案选A。

You may have heard of people who are allergic(过敏)to seafood, smoke or pets. But did you know that some people were allergic to Wi-Fi signals(信号)?
Rose White, a 44-year-old woman from Britain, first found herself being allergic to Wi-Fi signals in 2015.She
had a cough, heart trouble and great pains in her head when she stayed at the places covered with Wi-Fi signals.
Rose has tried many ways to keep away from Wi-Fi signals. In the past six months, she either slept in her car or in tent which she had put up in the woodland and in the fields. She even tried sleeping in a shed(棚子). Being completely tired, Rose had no choice but to quit her job and moved 370 kilometers away from her home to avoid Wi-Fi signals, but failed. Because of the hard life, she got a stomach problem.
She is now living in a small house in the rural(乡下的) area in England. There are far fewer Wi-Fi signals. However, the house, which belongs to her friend, will be sold to others, so she has to move again soon.
Rose is planning to move to a more rural area. She is also planning to buy a camper van(野营车) so that she can drive away from Wi-Fi signals whenever she is feeling uncomfortable. As she can not work to make money, she has to raise money online. She is hoping to raise 15,000 pounds. So far, she has raised over 1,600 pounds. She still has a long way to go.
1.Which is not Rose’s allergic symptom(症状)?

2.What did Rose do to keep away from Wi-Fi signals?
A. She slept in tent in the woodland.

D. She bought a camper van.
3.What does the underlined word “quit” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. leave B. begin C. change D. continue
4.Why does she have to move again soon?
A. Because the place she lives in is near the Wi-Fi signals.
B. Because her friend decided to sell the house.
C. Because she wants to move to a new place.
D. Because she tries to find a job in the more rural area.
5.What does the sentence “She still has a long way to go.” in the last paragraph refer to(指的是)?
A. She will live long.
B. It’s not easy for her to raise enough money.
C. There will be a lot of difficulties for her to deal with.

短文大意:来自英国的44岁女性Rose White对Wi-Fi信号过敏。当她呆在覆盖Wi-Fi信号的地方时,会产生许多不良反应。为了远离Wi-Fi信号,尝试了许多不同的方法,但效果甚微。罗斯计划搬到一个更偏远的地区,她还计划买一辆露营车。因为不能工作挣钱,所以她不得不在网上筹款。生活中罗斯还将面临许多困难。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段最后的句子“She had a cough, heart trouble and great pains in her head when she stayed at the places covered with Wi-Fi signals.”可知,当罗斯呆在覆盖Wi-Fi信号的地方时,咳嗽、心脏病和头痛。没有提到胃疼,故答案为D。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段中的句子“Rose has tried many ways to keep away from Wi-Fi signals. In the past six months, she either slept in her car or in tent which she had put up in the woodland and in the fields. She even tried sleeping in a shed(棚子).”可知,罗斯尝试了很多方法来远离Wi-Fi信号。在过去的六个月里,她要么睡在车里,要么睡在树林里和田野里的帐篷里。她甚至试着睡在小屋里。故答案为A。
3.词义猜测题。A. leave 离职;B. begin开始;C. change改变;D. continue继续。根据后面的句子“and moved 370 kilometers away from her home to avoid Wi-Fi signals, but failed.”为了避免Wi-Fi信号, 搬到离家370公里的地方,可以猜测quit her job的意思是“离职,辞职”,故答案选A。
4.细节理解题。根据第四段中的句子“However, the house, which belongs to her friend, will be sold to others, so she has to move again soon.”可知,罗斯住在朋友的房子里,而朋友将要出售自己的房子,因此罗斯必须再次搬家,答案为B。
5.句意理解题。根据最后一段的句子“As she cannot work to make money, she has to raise money online. She is hoping to raise 15,000 pounds. So far, she has raised over 1,600 pounds. She still has a long way to go.” 因为她不能工作挣钱,所以她不得不在网上筹款。她希望筹集15000英镑。到目前为止,她已经筹集了超过1600英镑。她还有很长的路要走,可知生活中罗斯还将面临许多困难。故答案选C。
点睛:词义猜测题是阅读理解中常见的一种题型,所猜测词汇可以是生词,也可以是熟词新义,还可以是人称代词的指代内容。词义猜测题主要考查考生根据上下文推测词义和语义的能力,突出考查对语境的分析和把握能力。常见的猜词法有:(1)利用上下文语境。猜测任何词义都离不开上下文,所以要借助上下文对需要猜测的词或短语进行合乎逻辑的推测。 (2)利用定义或解释性的线索。阅读文章中的有些生词往往在其后会有对该词进行解释说明的短语或句子,利用它们猜词义较容易 (3)利用文章的逻辑关系答题。如并列、对比、因果、转折关系等。这些逻辑关系往往通过一些相应的词或短语表达出来,如but, or, however, so, because等。(4)利用构词法知识答题。熟记一些前缀、后缀所表达的意思,不仅可以扩大词汇量,而且帮助我们猜测词义。第3小题的词义猜测题就是利用第1种解题方法。

From Asia to America and everywhere in between, Swing-an energetic form of dance that includes six-step and eight-step rhythms(节奏) - has taken the world by storm. Making a recent comeback, swing dance floors have popped up all over the world. Many clubs make fans of Swing happy by holding nights when swing music is played, and sometimes even offering classes to attract customers.
Though Swing is now popular worldwide, it first appeared alongside the jazz movements of the 1920s and 1930s in New York City. While listening to jazz, the young black people of that time developed the movements of the Lindy Hop - a style of dance that is best known for a break away or ‘swing out’ move and sudden improvisation(即兴表演).
It was reportedly given this name when a reporter was interviewing a person at the dance hall who was watching other couples dance. When asked what that dance was called, the watcher looked at a newspaper next to him that had an article about Lindbergh- the first person to fly alone across the Atlantic(大西洋)-which was titled, ‘Lindy Hops the Atlantic’. Then the watcher announced that the ‘Lindy Hop’ was the name of the dance, and it has stuck since then.
In 1926, the Savoy Ballroom was the first large business to offer a place for people to listen to swing music and dance. With its huge dance floor, the Savoy became a big success overnight, attracting some of the best dancers and musicians in the New York area.

【解析】短文介绍了摇摆舞是一种充满活力的舞蹈形式。还介绍了它的历史起源,摇摆舞是爵士舞蹈中的一种,最早出现在二十世纪二三十年代的美国,不仅在美国本土拥有大批忠实的追随者,而且深受世界各地人们的喜爱。
1.主旨大意题。短文介绍了摇摆舞是一种充满活力的舞蹈形式,深受世界各地人们的喜爱,还介绍了它的历史起源,故答案为A。
2.词义猜测题。A. Challenge. 挑战;B. Change. 改变;C. Development.发展;D. Death.灭亡。前面介绍传统的舞蹈教师不欢迎它,因为他们认为它甚至不是一个真正的舞蹈。根据后面的句子“but Swing has proved them wrong; it continues to be one of the world’s most fun dances.” 但摇摆舞已经证明他们错了,它仍然是世界上最有趣的舞蹈之一。他们错了是指他们认为摇摆舞会消亡的观点是错误的,故答案为D。
3.细节理解题。根据第二段中的句子“Though Swing is now popular worldwide, it first appeared alongside the jazz movements of the 1920s and 1930s in New York City.”可知,摇摆舞最早出现在20世纪20年代和30年代纽约的爵士乐运动中。有90多年的历史,故答案为C。
4.细节推断题。根据短文最后一段可知,传统的舞蹈教师不欢迎摇摆舞,但他们认为摇摆舞会消亡的观点被证明是错误的,因为各种不同肤色的青年人都非常喜欢它,可以推断这种舞蹈风格将很快被传统舞蹈教师所接受。通读全文可知,摇摆舞是一种自娱性很强的即兴舞蹈,用不着循规蹈矩,没有严格的动作规范,只需掌握其常用组合动作,即可自由发挥。这种舞蹈形式自得名‘Lindy Hop’
以来始终没有改变,在各个不同的历史时期深受人们的喜爱,故B,C,D答案都不对,答案选A。
点睛:阅读理解中考查的题型主要有细节理解题、主旨大意题、推理判断题(普通推断、推断文章出处)、词义猜测题等题型。在解答词义猜测题时,由于短文中出现了部分生词,在不允许查字典的情况下,只能运用“猜测词义法”来猜测单词的意思。猜词的技巧有多种,可以通过因果关系,对比关系猜词;也可以通过同义词,反义词或构词法猜词,以及上下文的句意去判断,如第2小题,可以通过上下文语境,运用逻辑推理能力,准确猜出词义。

Sarah stood in front of the mirror(镜子). “It looks like a raincoat on me,” she said.
“Perhaps the blue,” said Mama, gently.
“Sure,” the shopkeeper said. But when she took the blue coat, there on the shelf behind all of the dark coats, hidden like a spring flower in winter darkness, there, as if by magic, was a pink coat.
“A pink coat!” Sarah cried. “I want the pink coat.”
“That coat is smaller than the other ones,” Papa said.
Sarah spoke up. “I’m small, too. Papa, please let me try it on, Mama? Please?”
“It wouldn’t hurt to let her try it on,” Mama said.
Without a word, the shopkeeper took the coat from the shelf and held it for Sarah.
“Ohhh!” Sarah said. The coat was smooth and shiny inside like her sister Sylvia’s blouses. “Ahhh!”
Sarah stood very straight and looked in the mirror. She looked for a very long time. In the pink coat she looked like a spring flower.
“Sarah!” Mama said.
Sarah looked up. Mama was standing behind her. She was holding the brown coat.
“I’m afraid the pink coat will only fit one year,” Mama said, taking a step closer.
“And there’s no one to pass it on to,” said Papa.
And the shopkeeper said, “It’s wise to save money.”
Sarah backed away. No one was going to put her into a raincoat again. She wanted to be a flower.
“Sarah!” It was Papa. He came over to her. “You’re old enough to know that you can’t always have your own way,” he said seriously.
“Wise and true,” said the shopkeeper.
Sarah took off the pink coat, slowly.
“It is her colour, though,” Mama said.
“Ahh,” said the shopkeeper. “Anyone can see how the pink of the coat brings out the roses in her face.”
Papa looked thoughtful for a moment.
“We are lucky.” continued Mama, “that it is only one little coat for Sarah and not also new coats for Sylvia and Susan and Sally.”
Papa looked from the brown coat to the pink coat. “The cows will give milk soon enough,” he said “And how can we let Sarah wear a brown coat when she looks like a flower in this one?”
“Papa!” Sarah cried, putting on the pink coat back, quickly. She threw her arms around Papa’s neck. “ 33 ” she whispered.
“Like a rose in spring,” Papa said.
1.What did Sarah try on first?
A. A big pink coat. B. A small pink coat. C. A big brown coat. D. A small brown coat.
2.Why did Mama want Sarah to try brown and blue?
A. Because Sarah looked better in them. B. Because Sarah could wear them longer.
C. Because they were big enough for Sarah. D. Because they cost less than the pink one.
3.What did Sarah most probably say to Papa in the end?
A. How do I look? B. How does the coat look?
C. I do look like a flower, don’t I? D. The coat looks nice, doesn’t it?

短文大意:爸爸妈妈想给萨拉买一件外套,在商店里萨拉一共试穿了三种颜色的外套,粉红色的外套要比其它蓝色的和棕色的外套都要小一些,妈妈认为这件粉色的外套只能穿一年,而他们家又不富裕,但是萨拉非常喜欢这件粉红色的外套,最后爸爸下定决心给女儿买下了它,萨拉非常的开心。
1.细节推理题。短文中共提到了三种颜色的外套:棕色的,蓝色的,粉红色的。根据文中句子Sarah stood in front of the mirror(镜子). “It looks like a raincoat on me,” she said. “Perhaps the blue,” said Mama, gently.“A pink coat!” Sarah cried.“I want the pink coat.” “That coat is smaller than the other ones,”Papa said. Mama was standing behind her. She was holding the brown coat.妈妈手里拿着的那件棕色的外套,注意brown coat前面用的是定冠词the,可以判断出一定是在试穿蓝色与粉色外套之前试穿过,粉红色的外套比其它的外套都要小,也就是比她试穿过的蓝色的外套和棕色的外套都要小,因此可以判断萨拉最先试穿的是大的棕色的外套,答案为C。
2.细节理解题。根据文中句子“I’m afraid the pink coat will only fit one year,”可知,妈妈认为这件粉色的外套尺寸不大,只能穿一年。因此妈妈想让萨拉试穿那件棕色和蓝色的外套,因为它们的号码大一些,可以穿更长的时间,答案为B。
3.推理判断题。A. How do I look? 我看起来怎么样?B. How does the coat look? 这件外套看起来怎么样?C. I do look like a flower, don’t I? 我看起来像一朵花,不是吗?D. The coat looks nice, doesn’t it? 这件外套看起来不错,不是吗? 根据下文中的答语“Like a rose in spring,” 就像春天的玫瑰花一样,C,D选项是反义疑问句,需要用Yes,No来回答,首先要排除;在结合上文中的句子“In the pink coat she looked like a spring flower.” 她穿着粉红色的外套,看上去像一朵春花。可以判断萨拉问爸爸自己穿上那件粉红色的外套看起来怎么样,故答案为A。

Mind Maps
Mind maps are a great way of showing a picture of information that you need to learn. You can use mind maps for all kinds of learning. They work very well for vocabulary when you are learning a new language.
1 Draw a circle in the middle of the page and write the vocabulary subject in the middle. For example:
transport
2 Brainstorm some word groups for ‘transport’ and think of headings for each one. For example:
sea transport
land transport
air transport
For each one, draw a short line from the centre circle outwards. Add another circle and write the new group word in the middle.
3 Look at each group and try to add more groups. For example, in ‘land transport’ there are two sub-groups;
●road
●rail
Draw two more lines, add two more circles and write the two new headings inside them.
4 When you can’t make any new groups, add a line for each word you know. Write the words along the lines or, if you have space, write them inside more circles.
5 As you learn new vocabulary, add it to the mind map.

China covers large areas and has a great population. Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country. Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one: the way people shop at markets.
People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time.
However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual. Also, you can buy a small amount (数量) of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes.
The difference could be due to the different weather.
Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern
Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad.
1.In southern China, people usually buy _____ at a time.
A. a small amount of food
B. a large amount of food

Every school day, we use schoolbags to carry all of our things to school. They are a big part of our lives. But have you ever thought about the history of the schoolbag?
In the Han Dynasty (汉朝), students in old-style private schools used bamboo boxes to carry books to school. People consider the bamboo boxes to be the earliest schoolbags. They were usually two or three layers (层) in the box. Kids put different things like books, brushes, ink stones (砚) and paper in the boxes.
Hundreds of years later, people developed a new kind of schoolbag called the budai, or the "hip-pocket". The budai was lighter than the bamboo box. With the founding (成立) of the People's Republic of China, military rucksacks (军用帆布包) became popular. Many people carried them when they were in school. Ask your grandparents or parents about these bags. Maybe they can tell you about their experiences of carrying them when they were in school.
A new style of schoolbags has appeared in recent years. Many of them have colorful and fashionable
designs (时尚的设计) on them, such as pictures of cartoons or pop stars. And they are more comfortable to use. Some students pull wheeled bags filled with heavy textbooks and others carry backpacks.
Schoolbags are still changing. Can you imagine what future schoolbags will be like?

World famous physicist(物理学家) Stephen Hawking died peacefully at his home in Cambridge on March 14th, 2018.
Hawking was born in Oxford, England on January 8th, 1942. He went to school in a small city near London. As he himself admitted, he wasn’t very serious about studying. He did very little work, he was never top of his class. However, he still achieved good marks. After leaving school, Hawking first went to Oxford University to study physics. Then he went to Cambridge University to study cosmology(宇宙学).
At the age of 21, Hawking noticed something wrong with him. He had a bad illness that stopped him from moving and talking. He couldn’t communicate except by blinking(眨眼). He sat on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate with others, he moved two fingers to control the computer’s mouse. He chose his words from the screen, which were then spoken by a voice synthesizer(音响合成器). “I’ve had the disease for most of my life,” Hawking once said, “Yet it has not stopped me from being successful at my work.”
Although Hawking was a disabled man, he made great achievements. He received many awards and prizes for his work, including the Albert Einstein Award—the highest achievement in physics.
Hawking worked at Cambridge University as a professor. His story shows that nobody, however bad their situation is, should lose hope. "Life is not fair." he once said, "You just have to do the best you can in your own situation."

The biggest problem is that the children are all hungry for the love from their parents. Many of them can just get a call or a letter from their parents half a year, a year or even several years. So some children can’t remember what their parents look like. When they meet their own troubles, they have no one to talk with. Nobody gives them enough care.
Because of being too far away from their parents, the left-behind children’s study is the second biggest problem. From a survey about their study, only two percent of the children get good results, while ten percent of them are common and eighty-eight percent of them are poor. What a pity!
There are also many other problems of the left-behind children, such as having no ability to protect themselves, unhealthy lifestyles, spending too much pocket money and too much time on the Internet and so on.
In a word, to solve all the problems of the left-behind children needs the government, families and schools to try their best together.

Possible Earth-Like Planet Next Door?
Scientists say they discovered an earth-like planet outside our solar system (太阳系). It is a planet that could support life.
This planet is just 4.2 light years away from us. It is so close that space scientists have considered it as a next door neighbor. They say it could be reached by an unmanned spaceship before the end of the century -- in time for people alive today to see it.
An international team of scientists found the planet moving around the star called "Proxima Centauri". The result came out last month from the scientific magazine Nature.
Scientists have long thought that a planet with water is important for life. And it has to be neither too hot nor too cold. The newly-discovered planet is a little larger than earth Scientists have named it Proxima B. It moves around its sun, Proxima Centauri, once every 11 days.
American scientists have been using instruments for years to look for earth-like planets. In 2013, scientists' best guess was that there are about one billion (1,000 million) "earths" in space.
Alan Boss is the chairman of a group for outer space research. He said that Proxima B not only confirms (确认) the discovery of a planet, but also increases the number of other possible“earths” greatly.
Boss said it is possible, even likely, that most stars have at least one earth-like planet, which he considers surprising.
So from the early number of a billion, this new research suggests there may be as many possible earth-like planets as there are stars in the Galaxy (银河系). That is, anywhere from 250 billion to 500 billion "earths".
This makes the possibility of living things increasingly likely Boss said he believes human beings will be
able to show that there is life in places besides earth in his lifetime. "I am 65," he said, "but I expect to still be alive when it happens."
1.When will it be possible for an unmanned spaceship to reach Proxima B?
A. In about eighty years.
B. In about 4. 2 years.
C. In about eleven days.
D. In about one billion years.
2.In the fourth paragraph, the writer thinks that _______ is necessary for life.
A. water
B. light
C. air
D. wind
3.What does the underlined word "This" stand for in the last paragraph?
A. Scientists have discovered an earth-like planet last month.
B. There are far more earth-like planets than people thought.
C. Proxima B is not far from earth and is just like our neighbor.
D. The Galaxy will be the only place for living things to live in.
4.What does Alan Boss mean by saying "but I expect to still be alive when it happens"?
A. His health is in good state and he's sure he will live a long life.
B. Science is developing much faster than ever in recent years.
C. Scientists may soon find fact that there’s life on other planets.
D. America is far ahead of other countries in space research.

【解析】文章大意:科学家们说他们在太阳系外发现了一颗类似地球的行星,这是一个可以支持生命的星球。这颗星球离我们只有4.2光年,以至于科学家们认为它是地球的邻居。科学家们说,在本世纪末,可以通过一艘无人驾驶飞船到达那里,让今天活着的人及时看到它。科学家们一直认为有水的行星对生命很重要,这颗新发现的行星比地球稍微大一点,科学家们把它命名为Proxima B
。美国科学家多年以来一直使用仪器寻找类地行星,Proxima B的发现,不仅证实了行星的发现,而且大大增加了其他可能的“地球”数量。新的研究表明,银河系中可能存在的类地行星和恒星一样多。Alan Boss说他相信在他的一生中,除了地球,人类将能证明地球上还有生命。
1.理解计算题。根据They say it could be reached by an unmanned spaceship before the end of the century -- in time for people alive today to see it.可知,在本世纪末以前,人们可以通过一艘无人驾驶的宇宙飞船到达那里,本世纪末即2099年,现在是2018年,2099-2018=81,所以大约八十年后,故答案选A。
2.细节理解题。根据Scientists have long thought that a planet with water is important for life.可知,作者认为水是生命所必需的,故答案选A。
3.词义猜测题。联系上文So from the early number of a billion, this new research suggests there may be as many possible earth-like planets as there are stars in the Galaxy . That is, anywhere from 250 billion to 500 billion "earths".可知,“This”指的是银河系中存在有比人们想象的其它更多的类地行星,故答案选B。
4.理解推测题。根据This makes the possibility of living things increasingly likely Boss said he believes human beings will be able to show that there is life in places besides earth in his lifetime. "I am 65," he said, "but I expect to still be alive when it happens."可知,Alan Boss教授希望在他的有生之年能看到科学家们发现其它行星上也有生命,教授今年65岁了,所以可推知科学家们可能很快就会发现其它行星上也有生命,故答案选C。

Hello and welcome to "Words and Their Stories". We will research into some commonly used words and expressions. As with other languages, American English is rich in expressions that come from animals. Today we will talk about the wolf.
Wolves are important animals in the traditions and stories of America. Before the Europeans arrived at north America in the 1500s, to native (土著的) Americans, wolves often meant being brave.
However, in English, wolves are not to be trusted. Perhaps wolves attacked too many people or ate too many farm animals. Whatever the reason, wolves were killed in many places. So many died that they almost became endangered. They also became known as bad animals.
To begin with, there is an expression lone wolf. If we call somebody a lone wolf, he isn't a bad person, but he may like to do things by himself. In fact, he sometimes makes you think he doesn't want to be around people because he dislikes them.
Now, let’s move on to the home. Parents tell their children not to wolf down their food. In other words, the child eats too quickly and without care. And if someone says a child was raised by wolves, that child has bad
manners and is behaving like a wild animal.
A wolf call is the noise made by a man to show that he likes the way a woman looks. But a wolf call is not a nice thing. These men sound rude. And trust me, most women really hate wolf calls. So, they don't help a man in the game of love.
By the way, there is a popular expression about wolf from a very old story: a wolf in sheep’s clothing. A wolf in sheep’s clothing describes someone who acts and looks nice on the outside but is bad on the inside. It tells us not to be fooled by appearances.
1.What can we know after reading the passage?
A. Wolves are dangerous and should be killed in order to protect other animals.
B. Only in American English can we expect to find expressions about wolves.
C. In different areas and times, wolves make people think of different things.
D. Nobody lived in north America before the Europeans went there in the 1500s.
2.If a person is called a lone wolf, which of the following things is he most likely to do?
A. Helping classmates to finish homework.
B. Stealing money if nobody is watching.
C. Making many friends with people around.
D. Going to see a movie on his own after school.
3.Which of the following expressions can be used on a student who often breaks school rules?
A. A lone wolf.
B. Raised by wolves.
C. Wolf call.
D. A wolf in sheep's clothing.
4.Where is it possible for us to find the passage above?
A. A book for travel guide.
B. A magazine on trade and business.
C. A science report.
D. A program for English learning.
【答案】
1.C
2.D
3.B

【解析】文章大意:本文主要讲述了一些关于狼的习惯用语和故事。

Before the Europeans arrived at north America in the 1500s, to native Americans, wolves often meant being brave.以及However, in English, wolves are not to be trusted. Perhaps wolves attacked too many people or ate too many farm animals. … They also became known as bad animals.可知C选项“在不同的地区和时代,狼让人们想到不同的东西”符合题意,故答案选C。
2.细节理解题。根据If we call somebody a lone wolf, he isn't a bad person, but he may like to do things by himself.可知D选项“放学后自己去看电影”符合题意,故答案选D。
3.推理判断题。根据And if someone says a child was raised by wolves, that child has bad manners and is behaving like a wild animal.可知,一个被狼养大的孩子,那么他的行为举止就像野兽一样,由此可以推知像这样的孩子在学校应该是经常违反校规的,故答案选B。
4.文章出处题。根据Hello and welcome to "Words and Their Stories". We will research into some commonly used words and expressions. As with other languages, American English is rich in expressions that come from animals.可知,本文可能在一本英语学习计划里能找到,故答案选D。

One day, as two little boys were walking along the road, they passed a woman carrying a large basket of apples.
The boys thought the woman looked very pale and tired, so they said, "Are you going to town? If you are, we will carry your basket." "Thank you," replied the woman, Then she told them that she had a disabled son. She lived in a small house three miles away, and was now going to the market to sell the apples which grew on the only tree in her little garden. She needed the money for their living.
"We are going the same way you are," said the boys and they took hold of the basket, one on each side, and trudged along with merry hearts. The poor woman looked glad, and said that she hoped their mother would not be angry with them. "Oh, no," they replied, "our mother has taught us to be kind to others, and to be useful in any way that we can."
The woman then offered to give them a few apples for their help. "No, thank you. We want nothing for what
we have done," said the boys. When the woman got home, she told her son what had happened on the road, and they were both made happier that day by the kindness of the two boys.
Another day, the woman saw his son stop and pick up a piece of orange peel, which he threw into the dustbin. "I wish people would not throw orange peel on the sidewalk," said the son. “Someone may walk upon it, and fall.” “That is right, my dear,” she said. "It is a little thing for you to do what you have done, but it shows that you're thoughtful and considerate."
1 .Why did the two boys help the woman carry the basket?
A. They wanted to eat some apples.

【解析】文章大意:本文讲述了两个小男孩在路上帮助一位妇人背苹果到市场去,这位妇人非常感谢他们,并提出给他们几个苹果,但两个男孩谢绝了。妇人回家后把这件事告诉了她的残疾儿子。然后有一天,妇人看见他的儿子捡起了一块橘子皮扔进了垃圾箱,并且说:“希望人们不要在人行道上仍橘子皮,有人可能会踩到它,然后摔倒”。妇人告诉儿子做得对,并表扬了儿子。
1.细节理解题。根据文中的句子our mother has taught us to be kind to others, and to be useful in any way that we can.可知,是他们的妈妈教他们要乐于助人,故答案选C。
2.推理判断题。A、这个女人的花园里有很多苹果树。根据and was now going to the market to sell the apples which grew on the only tree in her little garden.可知A选项错误;B、每个人都可以从小事做起来帮助他人。根据our mother has taught us to be kind to others, and to be useful in any way that we can.以及It is a little thing for you to do what you have done, but it shows that you're thoughtful and considerate.可知B选项是正确的;C、那个女人没有钱送儿子上学。通读文章的第二段可知本文只是告诉我们那个女人有一个残疾儿子,而且她的生活很拮据,但并没有告诉我们那个女人没有钱送儿子上学,故C选项错误;D、穷人比妇人需要更多的帮助。通读全文可知文中并没有提到这样的话题,所以D选项错误;本题是问哪一个句子是正确的,故答案选B。
3.词义猜测题。根据"We are going the same way you are," said the boys and they took hold of the basket, one on each side, and trudged along with merry hearts.“我们和你走的是同一条路”,孩子们说着,抓住篮子,两边各一个,心情愉快地____,由语境可知孩子们是一边一个抬着篮子愉快地向前走去,故答案选A。
4.标题归纳题。通读全文可知本文是讲述了两个小男孩帮助帮助一位妇人背苹果到市场去,妇人很感激他们。回家后妇人把这件事告诉了她自己的儿子,她的儿子受其影响把路边的橘子皮捡起来仍进了垃圾桶。他们所做的都是微不足道的小事,所以选项C“小小的善举”符合题意,故答案选C。

Dear Mr Scott,
I expect you may be slightly surprised to receive a letter from your next-door neighbor, but I have to raise a theme that it will be easier for me to discuss in writing. You may have noticed that I have a line of apple trees running along the fence(栅栏)that separates our two gardens. You may also have felt happy when you see your two children sitting on your grass by the fence. And you may also have noticed that my apple trees bend
over the fence and seem to look down at your children with interest. It is only natural that your children should sometimes seem to return that interest. And it is quite legal(合法的)for them to show that interest by picking all the apples that hang over on your side of the fence. But to tell you the truth, Mr Scott, I am tired of seeing your children, day after day, destroy the branches of every one of my apple trees. And it seems that a war has been fought on one side of my apple trees. Besides, I am more tired of waking up on these fine autumn mornings to find even the apples on MY side of the fence much less in number. I know this too is the work of your children, since last night I was woken at midnight by the noise they were making when climbing one of my trees, and (as they may have told you) I drove them away.
Yours sincerely,
Becky Aldrin
1.What is this?
A. A complaint letter. B. An invitation letter.
C. A thank-you letter. D. A recommendation letter.
2.Which season was it?
A. Spring. B. Summer. C. Autumn. D. Winter.
3.What did the two children do last night?
A. They sat on the grass. B. They ran along the fence.
C. They destroyed the branches. D. They climbed an apple tree.
4.How was Becky Aldrin when she wrote this letter?
A. Polite but serious. B. Surprised but happy.
C. Angry and rude. D. Tired and uninterested.
5.What did Becky Aldrin wish Mr Scott to do next?
A. Be kind to his neighbour B. Make friends with his children.
C. Have a talk with his children. D. Grow apple trees in his garden.
【答案】

I know this too is the work of your children可知,她是在向Scott先生抱怨,因为Scott先生家的孩子毁坏了她的苹果树,还偷她的苹果。因此这些一封抱怨信,故选A。
2.推理判断题。根据短文中And it is quite legal(合法的)for them to show that interest by picking all the apples that hang over on your side of the fence.可知,现在苹果树上已经结苹果了,因此应该是秋季。故选C。

5.推理判断题。这封信中Becky向Scott先生抱怨了他的孩子们的所作所为,她的目的应该是希望Scott先生能和他的孩子好好的谈一谈,不要再去破坏她的苹果树了。故应选C。

Martina looked out of the window. A robin was singing a lively song in the tree. At this time, Grandpa, who lived with the family since Grandma had died, came in. He looked at the floor as if looking for something. He said, "When the robin sings..." he stopped, trying to remember what he had started to say.
"Spring is here," Mum finished the sentence. "And I'm thinking of our spring cleaning," Mum suggested.
"Martina, you can help me, right?" Martina agreed unwillingly.
They cleaned the house. They cleaned upstairs, downstairs, inside, outside, until everything was clean. Then Mum pointed to Grandpa's sofa and shouted. "That old sofa has got to go. We'll buy Grandpa a new one."
It was true and Martina had to agree. The sofa was really old. As they tried to move the sofa, Grandpa stood in their way. "You can't take my sofa," he shouted.
"It's old," Mum said. Grandpa tried to push his sofa back into place. "We'll buy you a new one," Mum promised.
"I don't want a new one," Grandpa insisted. Mum let go of the sofa. "We'll talk about it tonight when John gets home." John, Martina's dad, was still at work.
"Why don't you let us take away the sofa? It's too old!"Martina asked when the family were having supper. Grandpa shook his head and said, "I sat in this sofa, with your grandma right here, when I asked her to marry me. It was so long ago, but when I sit in this sofa and close my eyes I feel she is near."
"It's amazing," Martina thought, "how Grandpa can remember things from the past. These days he forgets almost everything."
The old man smiled to Martina and went on. "And the night your father was born, I sat in this sofa. I was nervous when they placed the little baby into my arms."
"I think I'm beginning to understand," Martina said. "Many years later," Grandpa continued, "I sat in this sofa when the doctor called and told me that your grandma was ill. I was lost without her, but the sofa gave me the comfort."
"I do see now," Martina looked at Grandpa. "This is not just an old sofa. This sofa is more like a friend." "Yes," Grandpa added. "We've got through a lot together." The whole family agreed that the living room would be boring without the old sofa.

In the 1950s, a female swimming athlete set a goal for herself. She decided to swim across the English Channel before she retired. If she could make it, she would be the first person in the world who did it.
On that day, she jumped into the sea without any hesitation and swam towards the opposite bank.
In the journey, she faced heavy fog, heavy rain and heavy waves. Though she was very tired, she carried on swimming.
But in the end, she gave up. And what she didn't know at the moment she gave up was that the opposite bank
was only I mile away.
Later people asked her about the reason. And she said:"The reason why I gave up is that I could not see the destination which I was so close to."

You can have courage only when you know where your goal is. You can manage to persist only when you know where your goal is, and prepare yourself well mentally(心理上).
Courage and persistence never fall from the sky. They come from weighing between input and output.
A life without goals is like a ship without a compass. It goes nowhere. There is no courage or persistence in a life without goals.

A. being retired

People read books less often in these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.
Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were.
Everything in today’s society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die.
Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.
Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don't
read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen (加强) our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.
With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter your age. So I think people should read books.
1.What activity is less popular these days than before?
A. Reading a book.
B. Listening to the radio.

a true story about an Indian man and his two daughters. His name’s Mahavir. In real life, he is called“the father of India women wrestling”because thousands of girls across India have been supported to take up wrestling with his efforts.
A very famous Indian actor, Aamir Khan, played the role of Mahavir in the movie. It was an unusual experience for him to play this role. Aamir Khan was very serious about his character and he tried to make this character close to the true story. In order to act well, he needed to put on weight to be very fat and then do sports to be very strong in a short time.
Aamir Khan started to eat a lot every day before making the movie. He ate at least 5 meals a day including much junk food. He became too fat to run quickly.
It is simple to be fat but difficult to be strong. Aamir Khan invited many coaches to train him to lose weight and took him a few months to be strong. He must eat less and drink more. Strength training is also important. This kind of physical training is very boring. He had to lift different weights and do it over and over again. Aamir Khan set a goal to himself day by day and the minute he made it, he fell down on the ground and could hardly stand up. In the end, he became the exact person the movie needs.

【解析】短文大意:《摔跤吧,爸爸!》是最近最棒的10大电影之一。它讲述的是一个印度男人和他的两个女儿的真实故事。在现实生活中,电影中的男主角被称为“印度女子摔跤之父”。他的扮演者Aamir Khan为了尽他所能使这个角色更加贴近原故事,做出了很大的努力。为了肥胖,他每天都吃很多食物,为了使自己变得强壮起来,他改变了饮食习惯,每天做运动。他扮演的角色非常动人,最后他成功了。正如他所说,人生中最重要的不是你能否达到你的目标,而是你是否做出了最大的努力。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段第一句话“A very famous Indian actor, Aamir Khan, played the role of Mahavir in the movie.”可知,Aamir Khan是一名演员,故答案为B。
2.细节理解题。根据第一段His name’s Mahavir. In real life, he is called “the father of India women
wrestling” because thousands of girls across India have been supported to take up wrestling with his efforts.可知,Mahavir被称为“印度女子摔跤之父”,因为他在摔跤这项运动中给予印度成千上万的女孩极大的支持。故答案为C。
3.句子排序题。根据第二段第三句“Aamir Khan was very serious about his character and he tried to make this character close to the true story.”Aamir Khan对他的这个人物非常认真,他试图使这个角色接近真实的故事。根据第三段第一句“Aamir Khan started to eat a lot every day before making the movie.”Aamir Khan在制作电影之前每天都要吃很多东西。根据第四段二三两句“Aamir Khan invited many coaches to train him to lose weight and took him a few months to be strong. He must eat less and drink more.”Aamir Khan邀请了很多教练训练他减肥,并花了几个月的时间让他变得强壮。他必须少吃多饮。根据第四段最后一句“In the end, he became the exact person the movie needs.” 最后,他成为电影中所需要的那种人。由此可知,Aamir Khan对电影中的这个人物很认真,为了符合电影中的人物角色形象,他做出了很大的努力,为了肥胖,他每天都吃很多食物,为了使自己变得强壮起来,他改变了饮食习惯,每天做运动。最后,他终于成功了。按照文章叙述的顺序应为②③①④,故答案为D。

5.细节理解题。A. Where there is a will, there is a way. 有志者事竟成;B. Practice makes perfect. 熟能生巧;C. Many hands make work light. 许多人使工作轻松;D. The fatter, the better. 越胖越好。根据短文内容可知,演员Aamir Khan对电影中的Mahavir这个人物很认真,为了符合电影中的人物角色形象,他做出了很大的努力,为了肥胖,他每天都吃很多食物,为了使自己变得强壮起来,他改变了饮食习惯,每天做运动。最后,他终于成功了。故答案A符合题意。

When you wake up, you need to think that something great is going to happen today, and that you are going to have a great day. This kind of positive attitude(态度) is supposed to change your whole day.
So this morning I woke up and decided to give it a whirl. The sun was shining brightly through my bedroom window, and it immediately gave me this warm feeling inside. I thought to myself, "Today is going to be a great day. One of the best days ever!" I got out of bed, took my morning shower and began to get dressed. I put on a pair of dress pants I have not warned in a while, followed by my dress shirt and that is when it began. I reached into my left pocket and pulled out what felt like some paper.
You know that feeling of finding a $20 hill in your pants and it feels like free money? Because you forgot all about it and thought you never did?
I pulled out a $100 bill and a $50 bill in the same pocket. It seemed like the best thing that had happened to me these days. Yes, $150 starts off my day! I'm sure if someone could have seen the smile on my face, they would have understood, I shouted in joy, with my poor dog looking at me like I was crazy!
Start your morning off thinking you are going to have the best day ever and you just might! I really want to know what will happen next.

Most people use their mouths to talk, but do you know same people use their hands to speak? Some people who cannot hear use their hands to communicate messages to others. This is called sign language. These people make shapes with their fingers, movements with their hands, as well as different faces in order to talk to other people.
One way people speak with their hands is by making shapes for letters with their fingers. For example, if you make an "OK" sign with your thumb and finger, that is the shape for the letter "f" in American sign language. Each letter has a hand shape. This way people can spell words using their hands. For example, if you want to spell "fun", you need to make three shapes. First you make the shape for the letter "f", then the shape for the letter "u", and then the shape for the letter "n".
___________. If you move your hand from your nose to your chin(下巴), you can say“mother” in American sign language. Of course, you have to use the correct hand shape, too. That shape is like holding your hand open with all five fingers showing. If you move your hand from the top of your head to your chin, you can say "father", Again, you have to use the same hand shape that you used for "mother".
Finally, people can change their faces to communicate in a sign language. For example, if you want to ask a
question, you need to make your eyebrows (眉毛) go up. You also need to move your head forward a little.
If you want to say "I do not know", you need to make your eyes smaller and make your eyebrows go down.
1.If you want to spell the word "nice", you need to make _______ hand shapes.

3.A
4.B
【解析】本文结合许多案例向我们介绍了美国的符号语言。

人们也需要做手型去交流C.人们也移动他们的手部以用符号语言来交谈D.人们也做出不同的脸型来表达含义。原文“If you move your hand from your nose to your chin(下巴), you can say“mother” in American sign language.”(如果你把手从鼻子移动到下巴,你可以用美国符号语言来表示“妈妈”),所以这里开始是在描述移动手部来进行的符号交流,选项C最贴近这句话,故选C
3.句意:在美国符号语言里,你需要使用你的眼睛和眉毛来说“我不知道”。A.眼睛和眉毛B.眼睛和头C.手和头D.手指和眼睛,原文“If you want to say "I do not know", you need to make your eyes smaller and make your eyebrows go down.”(如果你想要表达“我不知道”,你需要眯起眼睛,让你的眉毛往下移动一点),所以用到的是眼睛和眉毛,故选A

Beauty sleep is a real thing, researches have shown that people who have enough sleep look more attractive (有魅力的) to others.
A few bad nights is enough to make a person look "especially" more ugly, their sleep experiments show.
The researchers asked 25 university students to join in their sleep experiment. They were asked to get a good night's sleep for two nights.
A week later, they were asked to sleep for only four hours every night for two nights in a row.
The researchers took make-up free (素颜) photos of the volunteers after both the good and the bad sleep.
Next, they asked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge (评价) them on attractiveness, health, and sleepiness, as well as asking them: "How much would you like to make friends with this person in the picture?"
The strangers were good at judging if the person they were looking at was tired, and, if they were sleepy, their attractiveness score was low.
The strangers also said they wouldn't want to socialize with the tired students. The researchers say this is natural for people. An unhealthy-looking face makes people run away. In other words, people don't want to hang around with people who might be ill.
Dr. Brewer, an expert at the University of Liverpool said "Judgement of attractiveness is often unconscious (无意识的), hut we all do it, and we are able to judge on even something small like whether someone looks tired or unhealthy. This study is a good reminder of how important sleep is to us."
1.When did the researchers take make-up free photos?
A. After two nights good sleep.
B. After two nights bad sleep.
C. Before the experiment.
D. After both two nights good sleep and two nights' had sleep.
2.The researchers asked the strangers to do the following except _______.
A. telling who looked healthier
B. telling who didn't have many friends
C. telling who missed a lot of sleep
D. telling who was attractive
3.What kind of friends did the strangers like to make?
A. The people who were tired.
B. The people who were sleepy.
C. The people who were unhealthy.
D. The people who were attractive and energetic.
4.What does the underlined word "socialize "mean in Chinese?
A. 合伙
B. 玩耍
C. 交往
D. 共事
5.According to the passage, which of the following is the best title?
A. Beauty sleep, More attractive

A person has two ears but only one mouth. That means we should listen, not just speak. The word "listen" has the same letters as the word "silent". Listening silently is a good quality that we should have. Then why is it important to be a good listener?
Listening is really helpful.
When someone is sad or angry, he wants to express his poor feelings. At this moment, we need to listen
silently first until he gets calm (冷静的). Then we may have a good talk with him. Maybe it is a good way to help him out.
Listening is a kind of love.
For example, we may think our parents are always talking too much. But in fact, they do so because they are anxious about our health, study and so on. If we listen patiently, our parents will feel we care about them. A loving silence is often more powerful (有力量的) than words.
Listening is polite behavior.
Sometimes, we just want others to listen to us but forget to listen to others. In fact, that's not polite. In order to show our respect(尊重) for others, we had better listen to them first. Then we can express our ideas.
Listening sounds easy, but it's not. Every head is a world. So we should learn to listen with our ears, eyes and hearts as much as we can, and try to make ourselves good listeners from now on.
1.When someone is sad or angry, we should _____ first.
A. listen to him silently
B. express our poor feelings
C. talk too much with him
D. tell his parents about it
2.The underlined word "anxious" here probably means "_______".
A. satisfied
B. angry
C. worried
D. excited
3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. We should ask others to listen to us first.
B. We should express our ideas first.
C. We should let others respect us first.
D. We had better listen to others first.

【解析】本文简述了做一个好的倾听者是非常重要的并阐明了原因。
1.句意:当某人感到悲伤或生气时,我们应该先默默地听他说。A.默默地听他说
B.表达我们的不良情绪C.跟他说太多话D.告诉他的父母。原文“we need to listen silently first until he gets calm”(我们需要先静静地听,直到他平静下来),这是在某人生气或悲伤时应该采取的做法,故选A。
2.句意:这里带有下划线的单词“anxious”一词可能意味着“担心的”。A.满意的
B.生气的C.担心的D.兴奋的。本句中的“they do so”指的是“talking too much”,这是因为他们“担心”我们的健康、学习等等,所以猜测anxious表示的是“担心”,故选C。
3.句意:根据段落,以下哪一项为正确的?A.我们应该先请别人听取我们的意见。B.我们应该首先表达我们的想法。C.我们应该先让别人尊重我们。D.我们最好先听别人说。原文“we had better listen to them first.”(我们最好先听听他们怎么讲。),所以选项D是正确的,故选D。

Many animals around us are smart. Let’s get to know some of them.
Dolphins are smarter animals in the sea. Researchers put sea animals to a test. In the test, the researchers made red marks on the animal’s bodies and took them in front of a mirror. Many sea animals either ran away or fought with the ones in the mirror. However, when the dolphins saw themselves in the mirror, they tried to clean the red marks off their bodies. So the researchers believed that the dolphins knew the ones in the mirror were just themselves.
Bees work hard, and they are smart enough to learn something. Researchers found a group of bees and taught them to tell which horizontal line (水平线) was higher than the other. If they could find the higher line, they would get sugar as a prize. After training for a period of time, the researchers tested the bees. To their surprise, the bees found the higher horizontal line quickly and got sugar. Instead, when the researchers showed them vertical lines (垂直线), the bees simply flew away, because they knew there was no way to get sugar.
Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) are very human-like. They can learn fast and well. Researchers showed the numbers from one to nine on the screen. Chimpanzees and some college students were asked to remember where the numbers were after watching the numbers in less than a second. The adult chimpanzees and the college students performed almost the same, but the young chimpanzees performed much better. It was amazing.
1.In the test, the dolphins _______________.
A. felt afraid and ran away from the mirror

For his eleventh birthday, Lin was given a gift that would shape his life. On that day his father took him to the Children’s Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him. There was just one requirement: Lin would have to promise to study it for at least one year.
To that point Lin had had many hobbies, but none kept his interest for more than a week or two. His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting. That hobby lasted a week. Then his father got him some paints hoping that Lin's artistic side would shine through. Those paints were now under his bed, still unopened. This time Lin’s parents would let him decide.
Lin's eyes moved down the noticeboard that listed all the courses on offer. He stopped at "Photography". He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed their own camera. Although Lin's family weren't poor, they weren’t rich either, and a camera cost a lot of money. He continued looking.
The next course to catch his eye was "Language Art". He didn’t even know what that meant. His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches. Lin, a shy boy, could think of nothing worse.
Then he saw it. "Cooking" sounded like something he'd like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient, it could be done alone and it was also creative.
Based on Lin’s hobby history, his dad had doubts, but he agreed. Much to his parents' surprise, Lin kept his promise. He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday, and practised at home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they could eat his cakes. Lin got great satisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others.
The months turned to years but his hobby never changed again.
Now Lin is an adult and runs a successful restaurant. When customers say they enjoy his meal, he still gets the same pleasure he did as a child, and remembers the special gift he received all those years ago.
1.Why didn't Lin choose to study photography?
A. It was too expensive.
B. He had no interest in it.
C. He was not very creative.
D. It was not offered that term.
2.The underlined expression "catch his eye" in Paragraph 4 means “ ”.
A. make him excited
B. cause him surprise
C. get his attention
D. help him see clearly
3.Which of the following best describes Lin's interest in cooking?
A. It only lasted for a short time.
B. It seemed to match his character.
C. It was forced on him by his parents.
D. It developed slowly over many months.
4.Why did the father have doubts about Lin's choice of cooking?
A. Lin wasn't good at cooking.
B. Cooking wasn't very convenient.
C. He didn’t think Lin would continue.
D. Cooking wasn't a good hobby for a boy.
5.What's the best title for the passage?
A. A Strict Father
B. A Changeable Boy
C. The Fun of Cooking
D. The Birthday Gift
【答案】
1.A
2.C
3.B
4.C
5.D
【解析】试题分析:本文主要介绍了林在11岁时,那天他父亲带他去儿童活动中心,说他可以选择任何令他感兴趣的课程,就在那天他收到了一份改变他一生的特殊礼物。
1.根据第三段第三行Although Lin's family weren't poor, they weren’t rich either, and a camera cost a lot of money. 可知,不选择学习摄影,是因为花费高。故选:A。
2.catch动词,抓住、赶上;根据前文He continued looking.,以及后文His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches.可推知, "Language Art"引起了他的注意。 故选:C。
3.根据第四段最后一句Lin, a shy boy, could think of nothing worse. 以及第五段"Cooking" sounded like something he'd like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient, it could be done alone and it was also creative. 可知,“烹饪”似乎符合他的性格。故选:B。
4.根据第二段第一句To that point Lin had had many hobbies, but none kept his interest for more than a week or two可知,他认为林不会坚持下去。故选:C。
5.根据本文主要介绍了林在11岁时,那天他父亲带他去儿童活动中心,说他可以选择任何令他感兴趣的课程,就在那天他收到了一份改变他一生的特殊礼物,所以 The Birthday Gift最符合文意。故选:D。

Experts believe that there are more than 8 million restaurants in the world today. So it might surprise you to learn that restaurants, as we know them, have only existed for a few centuries. Before 1765, there were no restaurants. That is, there were no places that provided the restaurant experience. There was nowhere in which a waiter brought you food and drink that you picked from a menu. In fact, there were no menus anywhere.
There were eating places travellers could go to centuries before that. The countryside was full of inns that would serve food. And there were taverns where one could get drinks. The rich could also eat special meals prepared by private cooks. But none of them could be called a “restaurant”.
A man called Boulanger changed that. In 1765, he opened a place in Paris that sold soups(汤). On his sign he used the word "restaurant" to describe what he was selling. At that time, soups were considered something that could help "restore"(恢复)your health — in French the word "restore" is “restaurer” — so he called the soups "restaurants". Soon, people started buying Boulanger's soups even when they were not ill. And over time, people began to use the word "restaurant" to refer to a place selling soup rather than the soup itself. More "restaurants" opened in France, and people began to buy soups more often.
Later, restaurants in Paris began to serve other food besides soup. In the 1790s, menus started to appear. By the mid-1800s, there were many types of restaurants throughout the world. The United States offered coffee shops. Tea houses became popular throughout China. Paris created beautiful restaurants for the rich. The British began to copy the French, and the restaurant idea spread throughout the British Empire.
Today cities are filled with all types of restaurants. Diners have millions of options from which to choose.
1.What is the passage mainly about?
A. How restaurants developed.
B. What made a good restaurant.
C. Who created the first restaurant.
D. Why restaurants became popular.
2.According to the first paragraph, what made restaurants different from earlier eating places?
A. Restaurants only served food.
B. Restaurants were more expensive.
C. Restaurants were mainly in cities.
D. Restaurants had a list of meal choices.
3.Who did Boulanger expect to come and eat at his restaurant?
A. Rich people.
B. Sick people.
C. Travellers.
D. Workers.
5764
A. A person.
B. A place.
C. Illness.
D. Soup.
5.When did restaurants begin to grow internationally?
A. In the 1600s.

C. In the 1800s.
D. In the 1900s.

4.根据第三段的第三句 At that time, soups were considered something that could help "restore"(恢复)your health — in French the word "restore" is “restaurer” — so he called the soups "restaurants"可知,"restaurants"指代 “汤”。故选:D。
5.根据第四段的第二行By the mid-1800s, there were many types of restaurants throughout the world.可知,19世纪中叶,全世界有很多类型的餐馆,开始在国际上发展起来。故选:C。

Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don't know is that junk(垃圾)has become a problem in outer space too.
According to BBC News, there are more than 22, 000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes (望远镜). There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can't see.
Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speeds fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle.
To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.
To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25
years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth's atmosphere after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.
Many scientists also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth's atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed.
The problem is becoming more challenging because we're sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers,” says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space
Researcher.
“The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become,” he says.
1.What does the underlined word “these” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Telescopes.
B. Satellites.
C. Pieces of space junk.
D. BBC news reports.
2.Why is space junk considered a problem?
A. It buns up after it re-enters the atmosphere
B. It often stops the view of telescopes on Earth
C. It could force new space tools to travel at slower speeds
D. It may crash into other space tools causing damage or death
3.Countries want future space tools to be able to fall back into the earth's atmosphere so that .
A. the tools can be reused later
B. the tools don't become space junk
C. the earth’s atmosphere can stay clean
D. the effects of space flight can be studied
4.How do the Germans plan to deal with space junk?
A. Catch it with nets.
B. Use robots to collect it.
C. Burn it in the earth's atmosphere.
D. Send it further away from the earth.
5.In which section of the newspaper would you probably read this article?

I was walking around in a store. I saw a cashier (收银员) hand a little boy his money back, saying, “I’m sorry, but you don’t have enough money to buy this doll.” I walked towards him and asked him who the doll was for.
“It’s the doll that my sister wanted most for Christmas,” he said. I told him that maybe Santa Claus will bring it to her and that he shouldn’t worry. He sadly replied, “No, Santa Claus can’t bring it to her. I have to give the doll to my mom so that she can give it to my sister when she joins her.”
His eyes were so sad while saying this. “My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that
Mom is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.”
My heart nearly stopped. I quickly reached for my wallet and suggested that we count the money again. “Okay,” he said. “I hope that I have enough.” I added some of my money to his without letting him see and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money left. “Thank you, God, for giving me enough money!” the little boy said.
I left the store, feeling as if my life had been changed forever.

On April 2, we said goodbye to Tiangong I, China’s first space lab. According to the China Manned Space Agency (中国载人航天), Tiangong I re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere (大气层) and some of its debris (碎片) fell into the South Pacific Ocean.
There are many spacecraft (宇宙飞船) that are still in orbit
(轨道) above the Earth. After finishing their trips, they will all re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere like Tiangong I.
There are two types of re-entries: controlled re-entry and uncontrolled re-entry.
Some satellites and manned spacecraft come back to the Earth in a controlled re-entry. Experts calculate (计算) the path of the falling spacecraft and its speed. Thy can guide the spacecraft to fall in a chosen area.
Some spacecraft may have problems while in space after a certain amount of time. These spacecraft come back in an uncontrolled re-entry. It is hard to tell when and where these spacecraft will fall until the last few hours. The US space station Skylab came back partially uncontrolled in 1979. Parts of the station fell in western Australia, but no one was hurt.
During re-entry, most of the spacecraft will burn up while passing through the Earth’s atmosphere. Only a small amount of the debris will reach the ground. The debris typically ends up falling into the ocean, China Daily reported.

Four years ago, Chinese skater Wu Dajing introduced himself to the skating world by winning a silver medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games. At this year’s Pyeong Chang Olympics, Wu not only returned, but also made history.
On Feb 22th, 2018, Wu won the gold medal in the men’s short-track 500-meter race. He set a new world record with a
time of 39.584 seconds. He also became the first Chinese man to take home an Olympic short-track gold medal. BBC said Wu’s win was “flawless”, because he was much faster than all of the other skaters.
“I didn’t give them a chance and I kept my speed from the start,” he told the reporter after the match.
But China’s short-track teams didn’t do well in general at the Games. Chinese skaters in the women’s 500 meters, 3000-meter relay and men’s 1500 meters all failed to take home the gold. Wu was China’s biggest hope, which put a lot of pressure on him. But he proved himself with his great performance.
Wu is now known as a highly talented skater. But things were not always that way. When Wu joined the national team in 2010, he was seen as almost “nothing” compared to gifted skaters like Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin, as his coaches said at the time. Their words made him quite upset. But Wu didn’t want to give up and worked as hard as he could. He practiced skating all year round. He even didn’t return to his hometown for the holidays for 10 years. “I believe in myself,” he told the reporter after his match at the Olympics.
1.At the Pyeong Chang Olympics, Wu Dajing won the gold medal in the men’s short-track
race.
A. 500-meter B. 1000-meter
C. 1500-meter D. 3000-meter relay
2.What does the underlined word “flawless” mean?
A. Ordinary. B. Common. C. Perfect. D. Difficult.
3.Accor ding to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Wu won a gold medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games four years ago.
B. Wu set the world record with a time of 39.584 seconds and made history.
C. Wu’s coaches placed great hope on him when he joined the national team.
D. Chinese skaters in the women’s 500 meters, 3000-meter relay took home the gold.
4.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. The national team and coaches regarded Wu as a talented skater all the way.
B. Wu kept on practicing skating all year round even in the holidays for 10 years.
C. Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin were more hard-working on skating than Wu Dajing.
D. Because of Wu’s hard work, confidence and strong will, he finally succeeded.
5.Which one might be the best title of this passage?
A. From Zero to Skating Hero B. Short-track 500-meter Race
C. Pyeong Chang Winter Olympics D. Rising of China’s Bright Skiing Star
【答案】

【解析】短文介绍了男子短道速滑选手武大靖的故事。四年前,武大靖在索契冬奥会上获得了银牌。在今年的平昌奥运会,他在男子短道速滑500米比赛中获得金牌。还以39.584秒创造了一项新的世界纪录。武大靖在进入国家队时并不被国家队教练看好,由于武大靖永不放弃的精神、刻苦地训练和坚强的意志才取得了他今天的成就。
1.细节理解题。根据文中句子“On Feb 22th, 2018, Wu won the gold medal in the men’s short-track 500-meter race.”可知。2018年2月22日,武大靖在男子短道速滑500米比赛中获得金牌。故答案为A。
2.词义猜测题。A. Ordinary.平庸的;B. Common.普通的;C. Perfect. 完美的;D. Difficult.困难的。根据文中句子BBC said Wu’s win was“flawless”, because he was much faster than all of the other skaters.因为他比其他所有滑冰者都快得多,因此英国广播公司评价说,武大靖的胜利是“完美无瑕”的,答案为C。
3.判断正误题。根据“Four years ago, Chinese skater Wu Dajing introduced himself to the skating world by winning a silver medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games.”可知,四年前,中国滑冰运动员武大靖在索契冬奥会上获得了银牌。A错误;根据“He set a new world record with a time of 39.584 seconds.”可知,武大靖以39.584秒的时间创造了一项新的世界纪录。B答案正确;根据When Wu joined the national team in 2010, he was seen as almost“nothing”compared to gifted skaters like Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin, as his coaches
said at the time.可知,武大靖在进入国家队时并不被国家队教练看好,C答案错误;根据“Chinese skaters in the women’s 500 meters, 3000-meter relay and men’s 1500 meters all failed to take home the gold.”可知,中国选手在女子500米、3000米接力和男子1500米的比赛中都未能夺回金牌。D答案错误。
4.细节理解题。根据But Wu didn’t want to give up and worked as hard as he could. He practiced skating all year round. He even didn’t return to his hometown for the holidays for 10 years. “I believe in myself,”可知,正是由于武大靖不懈地努力、刻苦地训练和坚强的意志,终于在平昌奥运会上男子短道速滑500米比赛中获得金牌,并打破了世界纪录,答案为D。
5.主旨大意题。短文的最后一段最能反映文章的主旨。2010年武大靖刚进国家队时,并不被国家队教练看好,与周洋和范可欣的滑冰天赋相比,被视为“几乎什么都没有”。后来由于武大靖永不放弃的精神、刻苦地训练和坚强的意志终于取得了他今天的成就,成为短道速滑的英雄。故最好的标题为A。

Edward rose early on the New-year morning. He looked in every room and wished a Happy New Year to his family. Then he ran into the street to repeat that to those he might meet.
When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars .
His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some petty books that he had seen at the bookstore.
He left the house with a light heart, expecting to buy the books. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor family.
“I wish you a happy New Year.” said Edward, as he was happily passing on. The man shook his head.
“You are not from this country? ” said Edward. The man again shook his head, for he could not understand or speak his language. But he pointed to his mouth, and to the children shaking with cold, as if (好像)to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time”
Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in trouble. He took out his dollars, and gave one to
the man and the other to his wife.
They were excited and said something in their language, which doubtless meant, “We thank you so much that we will remember you all the time.”
When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up.
“I have bought no books,” said he, “I gave my money to some poor people, who seemed to be very hungry then.” He went on, “I think I can wait for my books till next New Year.”
“My dear boy,” said his father, “Here are some books, more as a reward for your goodness of heart than as a New-Year gift”.
“I saw you give the money cheerfully to the poor German family. It was nice for a little boy to do so. Be always ready to help others and every year of your life will be to you a Happy New Year.”
1.Edward expected to ________ with the money he got from his father.
A. help the poor family B. buy something to eat C. buy some pretty books D. learn another language

A. He couldn’t understand the boy. B. He wouldn’t accept the money.

“Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person’s life for the better, which makes everyone a better person.” Mason, a volunteer said.
National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity (机会) to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization’s expectations (期望). Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.
The following tips can help if you have some of these worries.
★ Start out slowly, don’t add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone’s life.
★ Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.
★ Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked.
★ Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot, he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization’s expectations.
★ Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.
★ Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn’t work, don’t give up and you’ll surely find the right opportunity.
Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people’s lives. As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience, “…little things can change a person’s life.”
1.Volunteering can help_________.
A. make a decision B. see the world clearly
C. thank other people D. make person’s life better
2.What could be the reason to stop people taking the first step?
A. They don’t have enough time.
B. They are prevented by their families.

3.Which of the following can help people take the first step?

Every year on 15th October, over 200 million people around the world take part in Global Handwashing Day. But why do we have a day for something we do all the time? Well, research shows that not enough people often wash their hands with soap. Experts believe that this leads to the deaths of millions of people every year.
Sidibe, a public health expert says soap is the most beautiful invention in public health'. Washing your hands with soap can have a huge impact on reducing (减少) the spread of diseases. Handwashing with soap prevents babies from getting ill and keeps children healthy and in school.
However, washing hands with soap does not happen as often as you might think. This is partly because there aren't enough resources (资源) in poorer countries, but it's also because for many people, handwashing is simply not part of their everyday life. It's not easy to get people to change habits they learned in early childhood -- but this is what Global Handwashing Day wants to do.
In 2008, the Indian cricket team joined around 100 million Indian schoolchildren in washing their hands to promote (促进) the first ever Global Handwashing Day.

A young woman turns around and around quickly, and jumps high. In the background, a young girl reads a rejection (拒绝) letter from a ballet school. You have the wrong body for ballet, 'it says,' and at thirteen, you are too old. This was one of the most popular advertisements (广告) of 2014 and it describes American ballet Theatre's principal (主要的) dancer Misty Copeland.
This was not a real letter. But Copeland says it is very similar to letters from her childhood. While many dancers start at the age of three. Copeland only began to study ballet in 1995 as a thirteen-year-old. People often told her that she was too old, or that she didn't have the perfect body type (She is only 157 cm tall). Her family moved a lot, and it was sometimes difficult for her to attend ballet classes. But Copeland loved dancing and did not want to give up. She stayed with her ballet teacher during the week and spent time with her family only at the
weekend. This was a difficult life, but she worked hard and won her first national competition when she was fourteen years old. Copeland joined the American Ballet Theatre in 2000 and performed in many ballets over the next few years. In 2007, she became a solo (单独的) performer, and in 2015 she became its principal dancer.
Copeland is now a dancer, author and Broadway performer. She also stars in the 2015 film A Ballerina's Tale. So what's next? According to Copeland, anything is possible: "My career (职业) really is just now beginning.'

2.Why was it difficult for Copeland to attend ballet classes?

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Copeland became successful because of the advertisement.
B. Copeland had to spend a lot of time away from her parents.
C. Copeland won her first national competition as a solo performer.
D. Copeland has ended up her career as an actress on Broadway.

Many people say dolphins are intelligent. They seem to be able to think, understand and learn things quickly. But are they as smart as humans, or are they more like cats and dogs? Dolphins use their brains quite differently from the way humans do. But scientists say dolphins and humans are very similar in some ways. How?
Like humans, every dolphin has its own "name". The name is a special whistle (哨声). Each dolphin chooses a specific (特有的) whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday Dolphins are like people in other ways, too. They "talk" to each other about a lot of things-such as their age, their feelings, and finding food. They also use a
system of sounds and body language to communicate. Understanding dolphin conversation is not easy for humans. No one "speaks dolphin" yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.
Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups called pods, and they often join others from different pods to play games and have fun--just like people. Scientists believe playing together is something only intelligent animals do.
Dolphins and humans are similar in another way: both species make plans for getting things they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an intelligent plan to get food. When there are fish near a boat, dolphins signal (发信号) to the fishermen to put their nets in the water. Using this method, the men can catch a lot of fish. Why do dolphins help the men? There is an advantage for them they get to eat some of the fish that escape (逃脱) from the net.
1.What is a dolphin's “name”?
A. It is a kind of game.
B. It is a body sign.
C. It is a dolphin’s age.
D. It is a specific sound.
2.What does the underlined word "others" refer to?
A. Other fishes.
B. Other people
C. Other dolphins
D. Other games
3.What can we infer from the passage?
A. Some scientists can understand dolphins system of sounds.
B. Dolphins probably help fishermen by using their body language.
C. Humans join dolphins' groups to get things we want.
D. Dolphins can talk to humans about their age and their feelings.
4.What's the main idea of the passage?
A. Dolphins can communicate with each other at birth.
B. Dolphins are social animals because they play together.
C. Dolphins are smart and are like humans in some ways.
D. Dolphins help humans do many things like catching fish.

In the 13th century. Marco Polo the world known Italian travelled saw many wonderful things in China. One of the things he discovered was money made of paper. People in the West did not have such kind of money until the I5th century. However the Chinese began to use it in the 7th century
Paper was invented by a Chinese man called Cai Lun almost 2,000 years ago. But it was not made in Europe until the year I 100. Four hundred years later, a German discovered that he could make the best paper from trees. After that countries rich in forests, such as Canada Sweden. America. Finland became the most important ones in paper making
Paper can be used in many ways. The common uses include newspapers magazines and books. But do you know that paper can be used for keeping warm? In Finland. the farmers wear paper boots to keep their feet warm in the snow. And even houses can be insulated(使绝缘)from heat or cold with paper.
However. we have to understand that paper still comes from trees now. If we keep on wasting so much
paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth some day in the near future. Every day people throw away about 2, 800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting down nearly 48.000 trees every day. The fact is that it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow.
So we must start saving paper right now. We can use both sides of every piece of paper. We can make useful things out of used paper. We can use china cups instead of paper ones. When shopping, we can use fewer paper bags and reuse them if we have some
In short, we should keep a balance (平衡)between using paper and protecting trees, and do it now before it is too late.
1.When did the Chinese begin to use paper money?
A. In the 5th centum B. In the 6th century
C. In the 7th centum D. In the 15th century
2.Why did Canada become an important country in paper making?
A. Because it was a large country B. Because it had lots of forests
C. Because it was a very rich country D. Because the inventor was from Canada
3.In Finland. paper is used for______.
A. making beds B. reducing waste
C. making umbrellas D. keeping warm
4.According to the passage. how many trees are needed to make one ton of paper?
A. 10 B. 17. C. 2,800 D. 48,000
5.Paragraph 5 mainly talks about______

It came as a real shock(震惊) to find out that chickens could tell what color they were eating.
I picked up a package of mixed greens one day. I anxiously brought it home and immediately took a trip out to the chicken house to deliver(递送) it. I knew the girls would welcome the treat!
My chickens have their regular gravity-type feeder for their grain(谷物), and I have a large plastic dog dish that I use for those special treats.
I emptied the bag of greens into the dog dish and stood back, as I usually do, to watch for a minute. I began to notice that the chickens were eating the green lettuce(莴苣)but were leaving the red leaves. I though it must be mistaken, but I didn’t have time to find out for sure right then.
When I went back a short time later, the dish was empty except for the red leaves. The chickens didn’t eat them with the red leaves. It took several hours, but they finally did eat it. I guess if they had their druthers(偏爱), they’d choose for green leaves only. Red leaves only satisfy in the absence of greens.

I'm not much of a crier most of the time. But recently when I was reading a book on a plane, I started crying. Of course, it came as a big surprise when tears came up, no matter how hard I tried, I wasn’t able to control
myself.
Oh no, not this now. I thought to myself. But even as the thought entered my brain. I felt the first hot drop of salty water coming down my face. I put my head down, hoping that I could go on reading.
In fact, the harder I tried, the more tears pushed their way out of my eyes. You could guess how surprised the man next to me looked.
I dropped my head in shame. He must think I was crazy. May be I could turn toward him, hold up the cover of the book and say in my crying voice. "I'm sorry, sir. It's just a really good book! "But I didn't say anything. Instead, I just put my head back against the seat and let the tears run. Do you know what decision I made while I was crying? My decision was that it was okay if he thought I was crazy. I'd rather be crazy than be the kind of person who wouldn't cry when the situation called for it, or who wouldn't let herself feel anything at all.
I’ve been that girl who has spent so much time trying to make sure people didn’t think I was crazy. But now I don’t want to be that girl any more ---that bored and sad girl. I'd rather be this girl who is able to forgive(原谅), love and act, even if it means being disappointed or being hurt again and again.

Diabetes is caused by a group of metabolic disorders in which there are high blood sugar levels over a long
period of time. There are three main types of diabetes:
Type 1 Diabetes results from the body not having enough insulin.
Type 2 Diabetes mainly happens to those who do not have enough physical exercise, eat too much unhealthy food and get too heavy.
Gestational Diabetes is the third main form. It appears when a woman is having a baby. She will probably get well again after the birth of the baby.
Diabetes can bring serious problems. People with diabetes, especially the Type 1, will easily get thirsty and hungry, and quickly lose weight. If it is not treated, it will develop rapidly (weeks or months), and cause many long-term complications. All the complications relate to damage to blood vessels. For example, damage to the eyes. It is caused by damage to the blood vessels in the eyes, and results in gradual vision loss and blindness. The complications will greatly increase the risk of diabetes, by which about 75% of the deaths are caused.
According to a report from the WHO (World Health Organization) in 2015, about 415 million people have diabetes worldwide, which means 8. 3% of the adults in the world have diabetes. Of all the cases, 85% to 90% are Type 2 Diabetes. That is to say, most cases of diabetes result from the unhealthy life style. Diabetes doubles a person's risk of early death. From 2012 to 2015, about 1.5 to 5 million deaths each year resulted from this disease. The global economic cost of diabetes in 2014 was around 612 billion USD.
A healthy life style can help prevent diabetes. Doing a lot of physical activities and having a healthy diet will help have normal body weight. Higher levels of physical activity (more than 90 minutes per day) can reduce the risk of diabetes by 28 %. Healthy diet includes foods rich in whole grains and fiber, foods with good fats from nuts, vegetable oils and fish, little sugar, and less red meat.
1.Diabetes is ______.
A. a serious disease
B. a damage to blood vessels
C. an unhealthy life style
D. an unusual blood sugar levels
2.According to the passage, what problem can diabetes cause?
A. a person gets too heavy.
B. A person doesn’t want to eat.
C. A person becomes blind.

Bath, 97 miles west of London, is the largest city in Somerset, England. It became a World Heritage Site in 1987.
The city got its name from the Roman Baths, which was a place for public bathing in Roman Britain. The water there is naturally heated under the ground. Today visitors are no longer allowed to enter the water. However, the exhibitions there will tell you the history of the Roman Baths. You can see many ancient Roman objects, including the coins that were thrown into the water to show respect to the goddess.
Looking over the city, you will see many old buildings in the color of honey. Among them, the Royal Crescent and the Circus are the most famous.

Living places
The home of the elephant is in the deep forest. It is the largest of all land animals, and is found both in Asia and Africa. One of the main places in Asia where the elephant lives is the island of Ceylon. The huge forests on the island become the home of thousands of elephants. The trees grow thick and tall. They make many parts almost dark, while bright sunlight is above and around them.
Living habits
The elephant likes the deep part and the coolest places of the forest. There he will stand swinging his ears, to drive away the flies; or he will pull down a branch (树枝) from a tree to fan himself. He likes bathing, and to be near
a lake or running water. There he takes in the water with his trunk, and spreads it all over his body.
Food
The elephant enjoys the fruits in the forest, and also the leaves of the trees. There is plenty of food for him in the forests, though he is not always happy with what he finds there.
Way of movement
When a group of elephants moves about in the forest, the oldest goes first. The young elephants and their mothers are in the middle, where they are safest. Then all move along with a
great noise, the branches of the trees bending and breaking before them. Though the elephant is usually harmless, no one dares to attack (袭击) a group of them moving through the forest.
How people treat them
In Asia the elephant is trained to work. At one time the African elephant also was trained. Soldiers in ancient times often went to fight on the backs of African elephants. But now the elephant that lives in Africa is illegally (非法地) hunted mainly for its valuable ivory. In order to protect them,
governments around the world have developed laws to stop this.

Sometimes people cry when they are sad. Other times people cry tears of joy. But your eyes make tears all the time, whether you are crying or not. Do you know
the tears help keep your eyes healthy? They keep your eyes from drying out. A special area of the eye drips (滴) all the time. It keeps the eye humid.
If you look in a mirror, you can see tiny holes in the corners of your eyes. Each hole leads to a small tube that runs to your nose. Tears run slowly into this tube drip by drip. Day and night the
holes drain (流走) the tears away. If they didn’t, you would always look as if you were crying.
If you begin to cry, there are many more tears. The holes can’t drain all of them. Then extra tears run out onto your face.
Tears help keep eyes safe. If there is something harmful in the air, the eyes fill with tears. These tears coat your eyes. They keep the harmful air out.
Contact lenses (隐形眼镜) can make the eyes too dry. Some people have to add tears to their eyes.
They buy bottles of eye drops to keep their eyes wet.

When your dream is to become a footballer and play for Barcelona, nothing should get in your way — even if you have no feet.
An 11-year-old schoolboy Gabriel Muniz, who was born without feet, will fly from his home in
Brazil to take part in the Spanish club’s summer training camp. Although he is disabled, Muniz is one of the top players at the school and captain of his gym class. He can run, dribble (运球), pass and strike the ball as well as any of his able-bodied teammates. He spends all his spare time on the football pitch.
His best friend Lucas Santos spoke about his abilities on a video for The Sun, “He is skillful, he goes after it, he is fearless and he knows how to organize plays. He also makes good passes.” Mum Sandra was thrilled that her son would achieve his dreams. She said, “He started walking before he was one. We would go after him, expecting him to keep falling, but he never fell.” Muniz’s gym
teacher added, “He is challenging the social norms (标准). When he arrived there, no one believed in
him.” But he showed to everyone that he could play as well as any other boy. So he was invited to go to Spain to show his talent.
The Spanish La Liga soccer club has offered to fly Muniz to Spain in September, where he’ll be able to show off his “fancy footwork” and meet his idol, Barça soccer player Lionel Messi.
Muniz wears a prosthetic (假体的) ankle and foot to help him get around in rainy weather. He
knows that his disability means he’ll never be able to play for a professional football team and so Muniz is hoping that football will one day become a Paralympic (残奥会的) sport.

A cup of coffee is a good way for many people to start their day. It can also pass on kindness.
Manyang Kher used to be a Sudanese child refugee(难民). When he was three years old, his village was burnt in the war. He was separated from his parents and never saw them again. He became one of the 20,000 young Sudanese who had to leave their home for Ethiopia’s Gambella area. He lived there as a refugee for 13 years.
When he was 16, Kher went to the United States. While he was in college, he started a program to help the refugees. Now, he owns a coffee company(公 司) called 734, which is a part of his program.The company has helped more than 200, 000 refugees living in the Gambella area till now. Kher said, “I know the difficulties and
pains they face every day. You see kids die from hunger. You see kids dying of illnesses. You see kids running away from the refugee camp to find a place to be home, but die on the way.”
Eighty percent of the money made by the coffee company is used to send more of the children to school. And, as Kher explains, the money helps refugees to belp themselves. For example,a cup of 734 coffee can also buy one fishing net(网)for a refugee. They can fish for themselves.
Kher sells the coffee online and to coffee stores. Megan Murphy owns a coffee store in Washington, D.C. She serves 734 coffee in her store and people love it. The coffee tastes delicious, so it’s a win-win on both sides.

I spent a lot of time making a large shelf for my cave. I found a big tree and chopped it down. This took three days. Then, I chopped off the branches. This took another two days. After that, I chopped the wood away from one side, and then from the other side. This took more than one month. Altogether it took forty-two days. In England, two men with a good saw could have made six of these shelves from that tree in half a day.
I also spent a lot of time looking after my corn and rice crops. I had to protect them from wild animals and birds, so I made a fence around them. I shot some of the birds and hung them up near thecorn. After that, all the other birds stayed away. I used one of the old swords I had taken from the ship to cut down the corn when it was ready. I was very proud of my corn and rice and worked hard to increase my crops. A few years later, I would have enough corn to make bread. I had to find a way to grind the corn into flour, but the rocks on the island were not hard enough. I finally discovered that a very hard piece of wood would do. I used some cloth to separate the meal from the husks. Not having anoven, I made some square pots with lids and covered them with hot ashes. This baked the dough, and I had bread! I made my cave bigger again to hold the corn and flour so that I could make bread whenever I needed to.
I sometimes wondered how I could get to the land which was visible from the other side of the island. I went to the ship’s boat that was blown onto the beach in the shipwreck. However, I could not get it to the water. It was too heavy. I tried many different ways of doing it, but none of them were successful.

2.The writer to protect his corn and rice.
A. watched out for them day and night

Bats are the only mammals that can fly a great distance, but they have another ability. Many bats live a very long time for an animal their size.
European researchers are studying bats to understand why they live so long. They hope to make discoveries to fight the aging process (过程) in human beings.
Last week, the group of scientists said they had found important biological qualities in some bat species. The group studied bat chromosomes (染 色 体), a line of genes found in the nucleus(核) ofcells. The scientists were
most interested in parts connected to the ends of the chromosomes. They are called telomeres(端 粒). Telomeres protect the ends of chromosomes, which shorten each time a cell divides. Scientists believe this shortening process causes cells to break down. .
A report on bats was published this month in the journal Science Advances.
Among the leaders of the study was Emma Teeling, a biologist with University College Dublin in Ireland. Teeling said studying long-living mammals that have developed ways to fight aging “is another way to prove the molecular(分 子) basis of extended ‘health length.’” She added that studying bats made scientists able to learn more about the processes “that drive healthy aging.”
The European researchers studied 493 bats from four bat species. The group used information that had been gathered over more than 60 years. Of these animals, the greater mouse-eared bat generally lived the longest, an average of 37 years.
The scientists said this and a related species, which are grouped together under the name Myotis, had telomeres that did not shorten with age. Another Myotis bat holds the record for oldest age, reaching 41 years.
The scientists’ findings suggest that these bats’ cells have the ability to keep and repair their telomeres. This, they said, helps guard against the aging process. Based on its body size, a bat like the greater mouse-eared bat would be expected to live four years. But, these mammals have been found to live nearly 10 times longer than that.
The scientists found that Eighteen of these are bats. The only exception is an unusual African rodent, the naked mole rat.
1.Which sentence can be put at the end of Paragraph 3?
A. This makes scientists able to study bats.
B. That’s why bats can fly a great distance.
C. They say this is what causes aging.
D. They discover the cells connected to humans.
2.Why do some species of bats live a very long time?
A. Because they have a line of long-living genes out of the cells.
B. Because their cells have the ability to keep and repair their telomeres.
C. Because they have another ability to live longer without any food or water.
D. Because telomeres protect the ends of chromosomes to stop cells dividing.
3.The underlined word “that” refers to .
A. four years B. body size C. the aging process D. the ability to repair
4.What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Differences Between Long-Living Animals
B. A Science Report on Chromosomes
C. Do Bats Hold the Secret to Long Life?
D. Are Humans and Bats Similar in Protecting Themselves?

Who wants to eat food that is thrown away as waste? Believe it or not, that’s exactly what world leaders did at a lunch held by the United Nations in 2015.
During the meal, the world leaders enjoyed dishes like salads and burgers made with thrown-away vegetables and fruits. Chef Dan Barber, who helped create the meal, hoped that the experience would make the leaders pay more attention to the issue of food waste.
It is a huge problem. One out of nine people on Earth does not get enough food. Yet every year over one third of the food produced worldwide goes to waste!
Why is so much food wasted? Firstly, food is often thrown away before it reaches customers because too much of it is produced, or because it is not kept properly in farms. Secondly, shops and supermarkets usually throw away unsold food. Finally, customers often buy more food than they need, so a lot of uneaten food is wasted.
How can you waste less food? When eating out, you may ask for less food and take home what is left. Visit fast food restaurants less often, since they are usually more wasteful. Encourage your favorite restaurants to give unsold food to food banks.
You can also waste less food at home. Use smaller rice bowls so that you serve less rice. Encourage family members to use unfinished rice to make rice puddings. Tell family members to make a shopping list and buy only what is on the list when shopping for food.
Food waste is a growing problem and we, either farmers or food sellers or customers, must take this problem more seriously and do what we can to help.
1.What did world leaders do at a lunch held by the United Nations in 2015?
A. They threw away food as waste during the meal.
B. They made dishes with waste vegetables and fruits
C. They ate food made with waste vegetables and fruits.
D. They helped Chef Dan Barber create the special meal.
2.The underlined word "issue" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.

There is a popular Chinese saying that “Fair skin (皮肤) will make up for three flaws(缺陷)”. This mentions the fact that in Chinese culture, it is believed that people who have fair skin are more beautiful. In Western culture, however, the opposite is true---many Westerners think tanned skin is prettier. The example shows that different cultures have different ideas of what they think is beautiful. These cultural meanings of beauty, however, are no longer important, As more and more people travel overseas, ideas about beauty are being shared among cultures. The Internet has also made it easier for people to share different types of beauty since people are always posting pictures on social media. The result is an ever-changing idea of what is considered beautiful.
The cultural practice of ear piercings, for example, has become a part of modern day culture. In Kenya, it is a tradition among the Marci men and women to pierce and then make their ear lobes (耳垂) longer using ivory and wood or stones. They then wear colorful things on their ear lobes. This is a common practice since longer ear lobes are seen as a sign of beauty. This tradition has now found its way into present-day culture. Nowadays, this might still seem unusual to some, but with more and more well-known actors and film stars showing off their longer ear lobes. i: will finally become more fashionable.
It is understood that different cultures around the world have different ways of showing beauty. However, since we now live in a worldwide society, people's views about beauty are always changing. With the help of the Internet, people are now able to easily borrow ideas from other cultures to help them stand out. So what new fashions can we expect to see in the future?
1.What has made it easier for people to share ideas about beauty?
A. The development of technology.
B. The popularity of the latest fashions.
C. The unchanged cultural traditions.
D. The worlds growing population.

A. Longer ear lobes are their new fashion.
B. Only women make their ear lobes longer.

As the saying goes, “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish,and you feed him for a lifetime.”This is the way the charity organization Heifer International (国际小母牛慈善组织)wants to end world hunger.
It began in the 1930s when an American farmer, Dan West, went to Spain to help people in need. He tried to feed the people with milk. But it seemed that there would never be enough milk. It made him think that what they needed was“not a cup, but a cow”.
Dan West returned to America. He worked together with some friends to find ways to end hunger. He believed giving animals and providing training would stop world hunger. With his help, Heifer International was set up.
On Heifer International’s website, you will see a list of animals like cows, chickens, pigs and even fish and bees. You can offer help by buying some animals for one certain family. Those animals will have babies. With more and more animals, these families will be able to support themselves. Once these families get better lives, they will pass on the act of kindness to others. More importantly, you are buying the resources(资源) for programs run by Heifer International to help more families.
The programs also help small-sized farms. As a rule, each farmer must give his animal’s first female(雄性
) baby to another in need. Heifer International also provides training on animals health and feeding. And these farmers all agree to teach others what they have learned as another rule.
However, there is still a long way to go. The milk may run out. But if families have their own cows, they can get plenty of milk to feed themselves. The organization wants the farmers to go on
working together, helping each other and learning from each other. Maybe hunger can really be stopped.
1.According to the passage, we know that Dan West .
A. set up a team in Spain B. helped people with enough fish
C. was a Spanish farmer D. helped set up Heifer International

D. Heifer Intermational provides training on animals' health and feeding.
3.If we put the passage into four parts, which of the following is the best?
(①=Para.1 ②=Para.2 ③=Para.3 ④=Para.4 ⑤= Para.5 ⑥= Para.6)
A. ①;②③;④⑤;⑥ B. ①;②③;④;⑤⑥
C. ①②;③;④⑤;⑥ D. ①②③;④;⑤;⑥

【答案】

For me, one of the greatest pleasures in life is going to watch a great film at the cinema. It's a chance for me to get away from real life. There's nothing better than being lost in a story unless, of course, someone decides to break down the moment.
Whether at a cinema or a huge theatre, someone usually decides to treat the place like their own home! There is an accepted way of behaving at the cinema which some people don t seem to understand.
To start with, some people always turn up late, causing you to rise from your seat to allow them to go past. Then, when you want to enjoy the surround-sound effects, someone begins to enjoy their drinks and popcorn and
thus makes a lot of noises, And what I can't stand most is people who decide to chat to their friends, sometimes not even about the film.
I'm not alone in this situation. Simon Mayo, a film critic at the BBC, experienced a “new low" during a film. He says, "The woman in front of me got a mirror out, then her boyfriend got a phone out and used the light on it to allow her to do her make-up!”
Simon has helped to create a list of rules on how moviegoers should behave at the cinema. One of them is no use of mobile phones, and another is not to take your shoes off--a most serious offence(冒犯)!
Of course, when we have paid for a ticket, we feel it is our right to relax and enjoy the film in the way we want to, but we mustn't forget our fellow moviegoers who want to enjoy the cinematic experience, too.
The best choice for anyone wanting to break the rules of cinema manners is to get a DVD and watch it at home. But we all know that the best way to enjoy the art of cinematography is on the big screen._______________

1.Why does the writer enjoy going to the cinema?
A. It makes him feel like being at home.
B. It gives him a moment to stay away from real life
C. He prefers watching the films on big screens.
D. He wants to enjoy the cinematic experience.
2.What is considered by Simon to be the rudest at a cinema?
A. Using mobile phones. B. Chatting to their friends.
C. Taking the shoes off D. Having drinks and eating popcorn
3."__________"is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 7?
A. Don’ t break the rules B. Manners are important!

④One time at the beach after she'd been playing in the surf with Mum, my sister shouted that an "octopus’s tentacles" had bitten (咬) her. Dad laughed his head off. It wasn't that funny. She was certainly imagining. I knew that's what she thought as I'd done a project on animals for school.
⑤She likes to do homework when I do mine. She sits next to me and pretends to write pages of homework. It's just letters such as the letters in her name that she repeats for row after row. Mum says she s just trying to be like me but it drives me crazy when I'm trying to fix my attention on my work.

Workers wear them. Swimmers wear them. Scientists wear them. Woodcutters wear them. People who play sports wear them. Goggles protect the eyes. They keep out water and chemicals. They keep out bits of wood or stone. They might look funny, but goggles do serious work!
Why do people need to wear goggles? They need to keep their eyes sasfe. Many things can hurt our eyes. Have you ever gotten a piece of sand or dirt or other small particle in your eye? What happens? It hurts. Your eye begins to fill with tears. Those tears are your body’s way of getting the sand or dirt out of your eye. Sometimes this works. Your eye feels much better.
But what happens if your tears don't work? What happens if the piece of sand has gotten stuck in your eye? Eyes are delicate. They can be scratched or cut easier than skin(皮肤). If the particle is not washed out by tears, you might have to go to the doctor. You could even have problems seeing out of that eye.
Instead of waiting to see if tears will help, some people use goggles. This can prevent things from getting in their eyes at all. If they use goggles. their eyes are protected from the things that can cause problems, Goggles are a better way to protect eyes. They are made of plastic or glass, and they are tied around your eye area. Some of them hook behind your ears like glasses. Other goggles have a strap (带子) that goes around your head. Both kinds stay right where you put them until you take them off. That way, you can use both hands to work or play sports, and you don't have to worry about something getting in your eyes.

Amanda Kitts is one of “tomorrow’s people” people who have artificial (人工的) body pats. She has a bionic(电子操控的)arm.
Now, Kitts runs a day -care center. Children run up to her
happily as she comes into the classroom. She bends over to talk with a small girl. As she bends Kitts puts her hands on her knees. For most people, this would be easy. However, just a few years
ago, this was impossible for Kitts.
In 2006, Kitts was in a car accident. A truck crushed(挤坏) her left arm and the doctor had to
cut it off. "I was angry, sad, depressed. I just couldn't accept it," she says. But then she heard about a new technique that could use the remaining nerves(神经) in her shoulder to contort an artificial arm.
In a difficult operation, a doctor moved Kitts's nerves to different mens of her upper- arm muscles. For months, the nerves grew. Millimeter by millimeter, they moved deeper into their new homes. “At three months I started feeling little tingles and twitches(刺痛和抽搐),”she said. A month later, she got her first bionic arm. A research engineer worked with Kitts to make the computer programs match her real movements more and more closely.
Today, Kitts's arm is great, but it's not yet perfect. She wants feeling in her hands. For example, she needs to feel whether something is rough or smooth. She also needs feeling to do one of her favorite things-drink coffee "The problem with a paper coffee cup is that my hand will close until it gets a solid grip,” she says. One time at a coffee shop, her hand kept closing until it crushed the cup. But Kitts says positively, "One day I'll be able to feel things with it, and clap my hands… to the songs my kids are singing”

“Oh dear, I'm going to be as blind as a bat. But we'd better hurry. It's Miss Lee's class, "said Maray.
At the start of the lesson, Miss Lee explained how to do the experiment to produce large eye crystals. Then she started to question the class. Nobody dared to give a wrong answer because Miss Lee was a very strict teacher Miss Lee held up a clamp(夹具) and said, "What do we use it for? What do we call it? All the girls looked down, while she looked at their heads for one to pick on. "Mary?" she finally asked.
Mary was sitting at the back of the class. She stood up and peered at Miss Lee, but she could not see clearly what the teacher was holding. She was nervous a bit and did not answer.
Miss Lee repeated her question. This time she spoke more slowly and there was anger in her voice.
"What is this used for ?" she asked
Vimala saw storm clouds climbing up to Miss Lee's face. She knew that the storm was about to burst on Mary, so she put up her hand. Miss Lee paid no attention to her and stared through narrowed eyes at Mary, waiting for an answer.
Mary did not know what to say. She looked to her left and right for help. Too seared to say out that she couldn’t see clearly, Mary hoped that if she kept quiet Miss Lee would ask somebody else.
Vimala guessed what was wrong, so she decided to take a risk. She jumped to her feet and said, "Excuse me. Miss Lee. Mary broke her glasses just before the lesson started. I don't think she can see the clamp clearly. "Then she sat down, praying (祈祷)that the ceiling would not fall on her.
“Oh!” Miss Lee said, a little surprised. She had thought that Mary was refusing to answer.
Now that she understood, her anger faded away. “Thank you, Vimala.” she said Then she turned
to Mary and said, “Come and look at this.”
Mary left her chair and went to the front of the class.
“It’s a clamp.” she said. "We can put it on a metal stand(支架) and use it to hold things in place.”
"Well, you got it right at last. "Miss Lee said with a brief smile. But you'd better not do any experiments until your glasses have been repaired. You can watch Vimala while she does the experiment.

When was the last time you gave or received a hug? Do your parents hug you before you go to school? In Western countries, it is quite common to greet close friends or relatives with a hug.
You might hug your teammates after winning a basketball game. If one of your friends is having a bad day, you can hug them to cheer them up. Friends who haven’t seen each other for a long time will usually hug each other when meeting.
Of course, people in different countries have different opinions when it comes to hugging. After coming to China, I’ve noticed that people are generally more reluctant (不情愿的) to hug than they are in my home country, the US.
My Chinese friends told me that hugging is considered to be very intimate (亲密的) in their culture. It usually only happens between people who are really close to each other, like couples. Chinese people don’t usually hug in public, either.
But people’s attitudes (态度) towards hugging can also change. I remember watching a video story about a “hugging party” that was held in Shanghai. A local artist held the party, inviting strangers and asking them to hug each other.
The Chinese participants (参与者) clearly looked uncomfortable. However, after the party, several of them changed their minds. They decided that hugging doesn’t have to be awkward (尴尬的) and can actually be quite nice. So next time you see your mom or dad, give them a hug –see how it makes you feel.
1.What usually happens between good friends when meeting in Western countries?
A. Hugging.
B. Nodding.
C. Shaking hands.
2.The second paragraph tells us ______.

3.In Chinese culture, hugs usually happen between ______.
