Stories and movies often make bats into scary creatures that attack in the dark of night. In real life, however, most bats are harmless. A few are even helpful to humans.

Over 800 species or types of bats feast on troublesome insects that damage crops or spread disease. Another 400 or so bat species eat ripe fruit. These bats are very useful because they pollinate（授粉）flowers and disperse（分散）seeds. There are also a few species of larger bats that hunt small animals like mice, fish, and frogs. A very few even drink blood.

The blood drinkers are the three species of vampire bats. However, the vampire bat doesn’t suck blood. Instead, it makes a wound with its sharp teeth and then laps the blood up like a kitty. The animal victim usually sleeps through the entire process. While attacks on humans have occurred, the bats’ common targets are livestock and other animals. Interestingly, the vampire bat may become useful to humans. You see, a chemical in the bat’s saliva（唾液）thins blood and dissolves blood clots（血栓）. Studies indicate this could be a great aid in treating people with strokes. In the future, medicine may be made from vampire bats’ saliva.

Some people think bats are birds, but they’re not. They have fur, not feathers. And their babies do not hatch from eggs; they’re born alive. Also, bats have mouths and noses; birds have beaks. Scientists put them in a special mammal group called Chiroptera.

21.Most species of bats eat .

A. ripe fruit

B. mice and frogs

C. insects

D. blood

22.Which of the following is TRUE about blood drinkers?

A.Vampire bats drink blood directly.

B.The bats’ uncommon targets are human beings.

C.A chemical in the bats is of great benefit treating heart disease.

D.Medicine has been produced from the bats’ saliva

23.What is the best title of the passage?

A. Blood Drinkers

B. Vampire Bats

C. Amazing Bats

D. Scary Creatures

The Globe was built in 1599 using timber from an earlier theatre, The Theatre, which had been built by Richard Burbage’s father, James Burbage, in Shoreditch in 1576. The first performance for which a firm record remains was Jonson’s Every Man out of His Humour—with its first scene welcoming the “gracious and kind spectators”—at the end of the year.

On 29th June 1613, the Globe Theatre went up in flames during a performance of Henry VIII. A theatrical gun, set off during the performance, misfired, burning the wooden beams and straws. According to one of the few surviving documents of the event, no one was hurt except a man whose burning breeches（炮后膛）were put out with a bottle of ale. It was rebuilt in the following year.

Like all the other theatres in London, the Globe was closed down by the Puritans in 1642. It was pulled down in 1644, or slightly later—the commonly cited document dating the act to 15 April 1644 has been identified as false—to make room for other buildings.

A modern reconstruction of the theatre, named “Shakespeare’s Globe”, opened in 1997, with a production of Henry V. It is an academic approximation of the original design, based on available evidence of the 1599 and 1614 buildings, and is located approximately 750 feet (230 m) from the site of the original theatre.

24.How did the Globe Theatre begin to be on fire on 29 June 1613?

A.It was set fire to by a performer by design.

B.It caught fire by accident during a play.

C.A man put out breeches with a bottle of ale.

D. It was started by wooden beams and straws.

25.In what order is the text arranged?

A. Time

B. Space

C. Importance

D. Flashback

26.According to the passage all the plays were performed in the Globe Theatre

EXCEPT .

A. James Burbage.

B. Every Man out of His Humour

C. Henry VIII.

D. Henry V

27.The passage is mainly about .

A. The popularity of the Globe Theatre.

B. The construction of the Globe Theatre.

C. The function of the Globe Theatre.

D. The history of the Globe Theatre.

Sacagawea was born in 1788 in an area near the Rocky Mountains that is now part of Idaho.

She was part of the Shoshone tribe where her father was the chief.

When Sacagawea was 12, her tribe（部落）was attacked by the Hidatsa tribe. Sacagawea was taken to North Dakota to live with the Hidatsa. A few years later, she was sold into slavery and forced to marry Toussaint Charbonneau, a French Canadian fur trapper.

In 1804, Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark arrived in the area looking for guides. They were sent by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the Louisiana Purchase and the lands to the west.

Lewis and Clark hired Toussaint Charbonneau and asked him to bring along Sacagawea so she could interpret when they reached the Shoshone tribe.

Sacagawea was able to help out with much more than interpreting. She showed the men how to collect edible roots and other plants. She also helped to save important supplies and maps when her boat capsized（翻）in the river during a squall. The men were impressed with her quick action and named the river after her.

The journey across the western lands wasn’t easy. Everyone was often hungry and cold. It was especially hard for Sacagawea who had her infant son to carry and feed.

Clark wrote in his journal that Sacagawea was one of the most valuable members of the group. She spoke both Shoshone and Hidatsa and was able to keep things peaceful when the group met up with the Native Americans.

Sacagawea was the only woman on the expedition. Unlike the men, Sacajawea did not receive any payment for her part in the journey, despite her important role in helping the group return safely.

Not much is known of Sacajawea’s life after the expedition ended in 1806. Some think that she died a few years later and others say that she returned home to the Shoshone and lived for another seventy years.

28.The underlined word “interpret” in paragraph 4 has the closest meaning to the one in

sentence ?

A.He interpreted the role with a lot of humor, gaining a lot of applause.

B.The students were asked to interpret the poem.

C.The data can be interpreted in many different ways.

D.She couldn’t speak much English so her children had to interpret for her.

29.Sacagawea experienced the following things EXCEPT .

A.She was sold into slavery and forced to marry a fur trapper

B.She was sent by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the Louisiana Purchase

C.She had to feed her infant son during the expedition

D.She played an important part in helping the men return safely

30.What kind of person do you think of Sacagawea according to the passage?

A. Learned and flexible.

B. Stubborn and determined.

C. Generous and responsible.

D. Rebellious and powerful.

5 Ways to deal with anxiety

Everyone has feelings of anxiety, nervousness, tension, and stress from time to time. Here are 5 ways to help manage them:

●Become a relaxation expert.

We all think we know how to relax. But chilling out in front of the TV or computer isn’t true relaxation. (Depending on what you’re watchin g or doing, it could even make you more tense.) The same is true for alcohol, drugs, or tobacco. 31 . What the body really needs is daily practice of a relaxation technique —like deep breathing, tai chi, or yoga —that has a physical effect on the mind. For example, deep breathing helps to relax a major nerve that runs from the diaphragm to the brain, sending a message to the entire body to let go and loosen up.

●Get enough sleep, and nourishment.

Want your mind and body to feel peaceful and strong eno ugh to handle life’s ups and downs?

32 . Eat well: Choose fruit, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains for long-term energy (instead of the short bursts that come from too much sugar or caffeine).

●33 .

Spend time with friends or family. Organized activities are great, but just hanging out works too. Doing things with those we feel close to deepens our bonds, allowing us to feel supported and secure. And the fun and sharing that go with it allow us to feel happier and less upset about things. If you feel worried or nervous about something, talking about it with someone who listens and cares can help you feel more understood and better able to cope. You’ll be reminded that everyone has these feelings sometimes. You’re not alone.

●Get close to nature.

34 . (Choose somewhere you feel safe so you can relax and enjoy your surroundings.) Walking, hiking, trail biking, or snowshoeing offer the additional benefit of exercise. Invite a friend or two — or a family member — along and enjoy feeling connected to people as well.

●Pay attention to the good things.

A great way to keep our minds off the worry track is to focus our thoughts on things that are good, beautiful, and positive. 35 . Allow yourself to dream, wish, and imagine the best that could happen.

A.Connect with others.

B.Appreciate the small, everyday blessings.

C.There are many safe, drug-free remedies(补救措施) for anxiety

D.They may seem to relieve anxiety or stress, but it’s a false and temporary state of relaxation.

E.Get the right amount of sleep for your needs — not too much or too little.

F.Some start working right away, while others may help lessen anxiety over time.

G.Heading out for a walk in the park or a hike in the woods can help too.

For our random act of kindness project, we decided to surprise a teacher with flowers, candy, and pictures of her favorite animals. We chose Mrs. Adams 36 we all like her as

Beads of sweat dripping from my forehead, it had been a long first day of summer 56 (spend) jumping on the trampoline with a friend and eating popsicles until our lips and tongues were stained “Very Cherry Red” and “Giddy Grape”. Just the day before, I had been saying my goodbyes to each of my elementary school 57 (educator). I knew that once the summer was over, I 58 (throw) to the bottom of the food chain again and sent to middle school; I wanted my summer to be the very one 59 was worthy of being remembered. For that very reason I hadn’t been too concerned when nearly 60 entire day had slipped by and my mother hadn’t called me to tell me she would be picking me up. I would have been61 (extreme) happy if she wouldn’t have called and I would have bee n with my friend another night.

Some time had passed and we ate dinner and watched some television. By this time I had considered 62 possible that my mother wasn’t going to call me at all, but rather she would probably just show up 63 some spare clothes for me. I called her office and her cell phone. To my 64 (disappoint), there had been no answer from either line. It was then that I got a little panicky 65 (wonder) why so much time had passed and my mot her hadn’t called me yet.

第二节概要写作（满分25 分）

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60 词左右的内容概要。

For hundreds of years, education has been closely connected to writing. Professors had been writing down their lectures, and students had been keeping notes after their teachers. Goose feathers and parchment（羊皮纸）changed to ballpoint pens and paper, but the essence has remained the same: knowledge passed down from one person to another must be thoroughly recorded.

With the emergence and development of mobile technologies such as laptops and smartphones, using conventional methods is gradually becoming obsolete（废弃的）. Students tend to use laptops in class more often than pens and paper. And although there are still many educational institutions that ban using computers in class, there are many arguments in favor of doing so.

On the one hand, let us face reality: people do not write as much today as they used to several years ago. This is especially true in the case of the youth: teenagers and young adults tend to feel more confident and comfortable typing on their devices rather than with handwriting. Keeping records after a teacher in class requires a student to write very fast, which often decreases the readability of the notes taken. Sometimes it can be quite difficult for a student to understand what he or she hurriedly wrote down in class. At the same time, typing on a laptop helps write the important information down in a comprehensible and accurate way. Also, handwriting always involves grammatical mistakes, typos, blot（s墨水迹）, and so on. Obviously, students experience little-to-none of such problems while using computers.

On the other hand, technology is something youth nowadays have got so accustomed to that without it, they operate less efficiently. Students are native to such devices as smartphones, laptops, tablets, and other gadgets, and naturally incorporate them in whatever they do, be it leisure time or studying. Not allowing students to use tablets in class means to deprive（剥夺）them of something that is almost a part of them and of their daily lives. If young people know how to use technology to their advantage and increase their studying effectiveness with its help, why forbid them from doing it?

Dear John,

I am so sorry but I missed our appointment to play tennis last Saturday afternoon.

It must have been very upsetting for you to make all the efforts to get to my office on time, only to have me fail to arrive. Unfortunately, my daughter was involved in a car accident, and everything else simply slipped my mind.

Would you prefer to reschedule next time you are in China, or simply speak on the phone? In any case, when we do meet or contact, let me take you out to lunch. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

第二节：概要写作

One possible version:

For centuries, knowledge has been recorded with handwriting. However, with such technologies as laptops developing, traditional recording methods are outdated. Many educational departments prohibiting it, many arguments are for using computers in class. For one thing, tying on devices can record information comprehensibly and accurately and avoid unnecessary mistakes. For another, accustomed to devices and taking advantage of them to study effectively, students should not be banned.
