If your answer is yes, you need to be able to swim or get prepared to learn to swim from now on. Recently, the university has made a new rule that students must pass the 50-meter swimming test to finish school. This rule has been brought into a broad discussion. Some agree with it because it can help students do more sports, but others disagree. They believe that it doesn’t respect their personal wishes. It shouldn’t be a must for graduation. What’s your opinion?______________________“Thomas Ediso n was an great inventor in the US. When he was seven, her mother caught a serious illness so she had to receive an operation（手术）in time. However, the room was too dark. So Edison brought a mirror and an oil lamp to light the room. How smart he was.” This s tory comes from the Chinese textbook for Grade-two students in the primary school. But recently, many people believe it was not true because the first operation about that illness in the world took place in 1886. Edison reached seven years old in 1854. Some people wonder why the story appears in the textbook. Maybe that’s because the editor(编辑) cares too much about the educational meaning without checking whether it was true or not.Paper books never disappear With the development of E-books, many people prefer to read on the Internet. Some experts worry that paper books may disappear as time goesby. However, a recent study has shown a rising enthusiasm of paper books all over the world, especially among young people of 16 to 24. Just in last month, 7% more paper books have been sold in the UK and E-book sale has fallen in a row by 4% in total over the month. Also, a survey made by Voxburner says that 60% of16-to-24-year-olds prefer paper books. The most popular reasons given were, “ I love the feeling of h olding the books and the smell of the paper, and I won’t end up with headache and sore eyes.21. The blank in the second paragraph should be filled in “ _____________.”A. Thomas Edison’s childhoodB. Some good stories in the textbookC. Textbooks are not trueD. Educational meaning in Edison’s story22. The Chinese meaning of the underlined word “enthusiasm” in this passage is “________”.A. 热情B. 厌恶C. 危机D. 成本23. To explain why paper books never disappear, the writer does all the following things E XCEPT__________.A. list some numbersB. give us some reasonsC. show a survey resultD. tell a story of his own【B】If we are observant(善于观察的), we can find that most of the flowers in nature are red, orange and yellow. If we have seen a black flower, it is a chance in a million. People have made census (统计) to colors of more than four thousand kinds of flowers and discovered that only eight of them are black. Why are black flowers so rare?As we know, sunlight is formed by seven different kinds of colored light. The wave length of each light changes, so the quantity of heat in each light changes, too. Flowers, especially their petals (花瓣) , are very weak and easy to the harm caused by high temperature. Black flowers can take in all the light waves, which cause the flowers to dry up in a high temperature. So the black flowers can hardly continue their lives. Whereas, red flowers, orange flowers and yellow ones can protect themselves from sunlight by reflecting the red light, orange light and yellow light, each of which has a large quantity of heat.That is why red, orange and yellow flowers are very common in nature while black flowers are so unusual.24.It is a chance in a million” means_____________A. something commonB. something luckyC. something extremely rareD. something impossible25. Sunlight is formed by _____.A．many different kinds of colored lightB．three different kinds of colored light—red, orange and yellowC．seven different kinds of colored lightD．four thousand kinds of colored light26.

Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．Red, orange and yellow flowers can absorb the light of all wave lengths.B．People have found that only a few kinds of flowers are black.C．Most of the flowers are resistant to high temperature owing to their bright colors.D．The black flowers cannot protect themselves from sunlight.【C】In a video posted online, a United Airlines passenger, who is an Asian, is shown with a bloody face after he was forced off an overbooked flight on April 9, 2017, making the already troubled airline earn more bad press.Overbooking on flights happens all the time. Empty seats cost airlines money, so they offset(抵消) the number of passengers who miss flights by selling several more tickets. In this case, the problem arose because United(美联航) decided at the last minute to fly four employees to a connection point and needed four passengersto make way for them.Normally, when there's an overbooking issue, airlines will offer compensation （赔偿） to the passengers who are willing to take a later flight. At first, they were offered $400, a hotel room for the night, and a flight the following afternoon. When no one took the offer, the amount was upped to $800. Still no volunteers. So a manager boarded the flight and informed passengers that four people would be selected to leave the flight.A couple who were selected agreed to leave the plane voluntarily. However, A man refused, saying he was a doctor and had to see patients in the morning. An airline manager told him that security would be called if he did not leave. Then, security officers came to speak to him. Their conversation ended with the man being yanked(猛拉) from his seat onto the floor and dragged off, blood visible on his face.This incident caused a stir in public. Many criticized United's racism and cruelty. Some even called for a boycott of the airline. The company is facing increasing pressure around the world. United is also suffering from broader worries among investors (投资人)about US airline performance.28.What can we learn about overbooking on flights?A. It rarely occurs.B. It makes more money.C. It's for employees.D. It always causes problems.29. What do airlines usually do first when there's an overbooking issue?A. Select some passengers randomly and ask them to leave.B. Call the security and force some passengers to leave.C. Find some volunteers and offer them compensation.D. Require the last few passengers not to board the plane.30.Why did the man refuse to leave the plane?A. He was unsatisfied with the compensation.B. He was frightened by the security officers.C. He had got an appointment the next day.D. He was badly injured and was bleeding.31.What can be learned from the last paragraph?A. The company's reputation is greatly damaged.B. The company has already lost many investors.C. Incidents like this will not happen again.D. No passengers will take United's flights.【D】Does solving a math problem give you a headache? Do you feel nervous when you sit a math exam? For most students, math can be difficult but scientists have proved that math problems can actually cause physical pain.Scientists came to this conclusion with an in-depth experiment, which was published in the Public Library of Science One journal. They began by finding out how much participants fear math. Those involved were asked a series of questions such as how they feel when they receive a math textbook or when they walk into a math lesson.Based on their answers, participants were divided into groups. One group was made up of people who were particularly afraid of math and participants in the other group were more comfortable with the subject.Both groups were then given either math tasks or word tasks. When a math task was going to come next, a yellow circle would appear but when a word task was soon to come, a blue square would be shown.Using a brain-scan machine, scientists noticed that whenever people from Group One saw a yellow circle, their brain would respond in a way similar to when their body is feeling pain. It was like the pain they would feel, for example, if they burnt their hand on a hot stove. But they reacted less strongly when they knew that they would be faced with a word task.However, scientists saw no strong brain response from people in the second group.Math can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMA), math is associated with nerve, worry and fear. “When you are really thinking about the math problems, your mind is racing and you are worrying about all the things that could go wrong,” explained Ian Lyons from University of Chicago, US, leader of the study. “The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more he activated brain regions associated with threat detection, and the experience of pain.”More interestingly, the brain activity disappeared when participants actually started dealing with the math tasks. “This means that it’s not that math itself hurts; rather, the expectation of math is painful,” Lyons said.Based on the study, scientists suggested that things could be done to help students worry less and move past their fear of math, which might mean they perform better in tests.32. In the first stage, scientists ask participants some questions to _____.A. see whether math hurtsB. find out how much they fear mathC. observe how their brain responseD. test their endurance of pain33. The underlined word “the expectation of math” is closest in meaning to _____.A. the attempt of learning mathB. the motivation to work out math problemC. the effort to understand mathD. the act of thinking about math34. Which is the best title for the passage?A. How to overcome math fear.B. Physical pain affects math performance.C. Math pain in your brain.D. Unknown truth about pain.35. What can be concluded from the experiment?A. The expectation of math has no relation to students’ confidence in math.B. Moderate mathematic anxiety improves students’ study performance.C. Effective solutions have been worked out to lower students’ anxiety of math.D. Physical pain caused by HMA disappears in the process of doing math problem. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
