We often hear that a pet dog saved the owner's life or traveled thousands of miles to return home. Such stories often make pets more lovely.Some pets can also be trained to help people with some special work. For example, trained dogs can help the blind to walk and trained dogs and pigs can even help police to find where drugs are easily.But pets are sometimes trouble-makers. Some pets like dogs or snakes may hurt people without any warning. Some people may become ill after being hurt because of the virus carried by the pets.

If you don't have it, you won't ___16___ it."I watched, as the small boys stood there embarrassedly without any word, just staring at the salesclerk. Their wide eyes were filled with tears. The people waiting impatiently in the line began to complain loudly, "Just go, boys!" I shouted ___17___ the noise, " I've got the nineteen cents. Take this dollar for my ___18___ and keep the change towards their candy."The salesclerk seemed pleasant to have this matter solved. Everyone in the line turned to look at me except the two small boys who quickly took the candy and left the store.I handed over the dollar, smiled at the salesclerk and left. As I made my way to my car, a small voice called out to me, "Hey, Lady!" I turned to see one of the boys standing around the corner of the building. "That was pretty ___19___!"He was gone. I supposed it was a "thank you" of sorts and I was glad to think that I would be the topic of their small conversation that morning. I was the "cool lady" who saved the day by paying for their candy.

Why did mother really have to do this?” he told a reporter from Good morning America.Some of the rules made by Janell Hoffman are that she owns the phone and pays for it and she will always know the password (密码) and the phone should be handed over each night. Greg should also get ready to receive the calls from his parents at any time if he wants to keep his new phone.“If it rings, answer it. Say hello and be polite. Do not ever pay no attention (注意力) to a phone call if the screen reads ‘Mom’ or ‘Dad’. Not ever. ” Rule 3 says.Failing to follow the above rules and other rules such as not taking it to school and turning it off in public will result in (导致) the 12-year-old boy losing his new phone.“You are a good boy and you should get his gift. But with acceptance of his present come rules. Please read through the following contract. I hope that you understand it is my job to bring you up a well-rounded, healthy young man who can keep up with the changes of technology and not be ruled by it. Failing to obey the following list will result in losing your iPhone,” the contract says.“I love you and look forward to sharing several million text messages with you in the days tocome.” the contract adds.The rules are made to teach him to break the bad habits that many teens get into when using their mobile phone.25．________ impressed Greg Hoffman deeply.A．The new iPhone B．The reporter’s interviewC．The 18-point contract D．His Christmas present 26．According to the rules, ________ is the owner of the iPhone.A．Greg Hoffman B．Janell HoffmanC．the reporter D．Greg Hoffman’s father27．From the text, we know that Greg ________.A．can leave the iPhone on all day and all nightB．can take the iPhone to school and use it in publicC．is allowed (允许) to keep his-iPhone’s password secretD．should get ready to receive the calls from his parentsAdults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often believe that more is better when it comes to kids and their things? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn how to live more with less earlier than I did.I found the pre—holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less—used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund (基金)——our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor.For weeks, I've been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with need, and use less?Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, at most. I chose a red rubber ball——the simplest and most common toy. We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, and he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.We were both lost in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and Ihad his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.28．What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects?A．Giving the money to a sick mother.B．Raising money for a poor girl. C．Saving up for her holiday.D．Adding the money to her fund. 29．Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd?A．To train his attention.B．To try out an idea.C．To show a parent's love.D．To help him start a hobby.30．What can we learn from the passage?A．The more kids have, the happier they will be.B．Kids should sell their things to collect their school fund.C．Parents can help their kids live with need, using less.D．One toy can only keep kids' attention for a short time.31．What can be the best title for the passage?A．Live More with Less B．Take It or Leave ItC．A Lesson from Kids D．The Pleasure of Giving To eat only a vegan (素食的) diet might sound difficult, especially with many popular dishes containing meat or other animal products. Yet in 2017, veganism was described as "the fastest-growing lifestyle movement " in the UK, according to BBC news.A study by a UK market research organization, suggests that over 542,000 Brits went vegan during the previous 10 years, an increase of 360%. And the main force behind this increase was those aged 15—34 years old—42% of recent vegans fall under that age range.So why exactly has veganism (素食主义) become so popular among young Brits?One reason could be that many young people want to protect the environment, eating less meat is known to be beneficial to the environment. Global meat industry is believed to cause 18% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions (排放), even more than that of all the world's cars, trains and planes combined. Another reason is that many of today's young people believe that it's wrong to kill animals to be used as food.Jess Murray, 22, a student at University College London, said that he chose to become vegan after realizing that eating animals is a choice that people make, rather than something that we need to do to survive. "Becoming vegan was an ethical (道德的) decision," he told the Guardian.Social media is also believed to have given rise to the increase in veganism.Platforms such as Facebook allow young vegans to connect with each other much easier, while others such as Instagram have led to the creation of "vegan celebrities (名人)", who share lips on vegan lifestyles.Despite the rising of veganism, Laura Wyness, an expert in diet and nutrition, said that meat is very important for people's health. "A strict vegan diet makes it difficult to get some minerais and vitamins that your body needs," Wyness told BBC news.However, veganism doesn't seem to become less popular. "It feels more like this is something that is sticking." said an expert of the Vegan Society, a UK charity that encourages veganism.32．What can we learn about veganism, "the fastest-growing lifestyle movement" in UK? A．It has grown sharply in the past 10 years.B．It is supported mainly by old people.C．It has led to further market research.D．It has created many popular dishes.33．The following may be the reason for the increase in veganism EXCEPT ________. A．Young people prefer an environment-friendly life.B．Meat industry increases the world's greenhouse gas.C．Young people want to become ethical celebrities.D．Social media allow the vegan message to spread quickly around.34．The underlined word "sticking" in the last paragraph means _________. A．important B．special C．impressive D．lasting 35．What is the passage mainly about?A．Veganism is bad for people's health.B．Young Brits are going vegan.C．How to start a vegan lifestyle.D．Veganism is good for the environment 四、阅读回答问题Your house may have an effect on your shape. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you put on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, because people are often less embarrassed (难为情) when they're in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn't have enoughwindow light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors increase our hunger. In one study, people in a blue room eat 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more hungry, while cold colors make us less want to eat. So when it's time to repaint, go blue.Don't forget the clock — or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last 30 minutes. And while you're at it, actually sit down to eat. It also makes you less likely to rush through a meal by turning on relaxing music.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12—inch plate instead of a 10—inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.36．How many suggestions are given in the text?__________________________________________________________37．Why are dark environments more likely to encourage overeating?__________________________________________________________38．Will people in a blue room eat less?__________________________________________________________39．How long do we try to make dinner last?__________________________________________________________40．What is the passage mainly about?__________________________________________________________五、书信作文41．假如你是李华，你们学校要举办一场关于中国传统节日的讲座，你打算请你们班交换生Peter参加，请用英语写一封电子邮件，告诉他讲座的时间和地点，以及需要做什么准备。

ReillyMike Myers is a teacher at Chauncey Rose High School in Terre Haute, Indiana. Last year, he taught his students about, the world's rain forests. They learned that rain forests are important because the plants and animals' of the rain forests give us food, wood, and medicine.Destruction (破坏) of the world's rain forests is a serious problem. Unluckily, rain forests are disappearing at a rate of 80 acres per minute! As part of a class project, Myers' students bought three acres of rain forest in Central America. They paid $25 per acre. The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed. The students became so interested in rain forests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rain forest.So last June, Myers and four of his students took a boat ride down a river. They saw alligators (短吻鳄) and crocodiles. In the middle of the week, a guide took Myers and his students into the rain forest. "The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest. They broke small branches off the trees and threw them at us," one of the students said, "It was a great learning experience for all of us," said Myers.Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants, animals, food, and culture. During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities. They went white water rafting (激流泛舟) and horseback riding, and visited Costa Rica's active volcano.Myers hopes to make the trip every year with a different group of kids.25．How much did Myers' students pay for the rain forest they bought?A．$25.B．$2000.C．$80.D．$75. 26．What did Myers and his students do at the beginning of the trip?A．They went into the rain forest.B．They took a boat ride down a river.C．They bought acres of rain forest.D．They visited Costa Rica's active volcano.27．When the monkeys saw Myers and his students, they ________.A．felt excited B．jumped off the treesC．felt angry D．left the rain forestYou use her as a shoulder to cry on. She texts you back with casual jokes. But she, Xiaoice, is only a virtual chatbot (虚拟聊天机器人) .Xiaoice, Microsoft's latest artificial intelligence robot, was briefly released in 2014, and returned to WeChat in 2015, where she became a big hit. Millions of young Chinese now exchange messages with her daily, The New York Times reported. On WeChat, Xiaoice is an official account. After following it, users can start text-based conversations with Xiaoice."Her incredible learning ability was why people loved to talk with Xiaoice," Liu Jinchang, a researcher at High-tech Research and Development Center under the Ministry of Science and Technology, told China Daily. Apart from her ability to recognize photos and send emojis (表情符号) in conversations, Xiaoice gains 45 percent of her knowledge from interacting with users, China Daily reported.Chatbot programs first appeared in the mid-1960s in the US. Driven by top tech companies, they are becoming smarter and more common. For instance, IBM's latest artificial intelligence program served as an academic consultant at Australia's Deakin University, answering students' questions about course schedules and financial aid. Apple's Siri and Amazon's Alexa have been used as voice assistants who can read news, play music and even make jokes for their users.These programs are expected to move beyond smartphones, into televisions, cars and living rooms. The New York Times pointed out. However, it may take years before scientists develop a "Samantha", the advanced chatbot seen in the fiction film Her. In the film, Samantha has a romantic relationship with her user played by US actor Joaquin Phoenix. Many viewers were in love with this fantasy of virtual soul mates.28．What does the underlined part she became a big hit in Paragraph 2 mean?A．She became a best seller.B．She became very popular.C．She became a money maker.D．She became very powerful.29．Which of the following can Xiaoice do?A．She can recognize various photos.B．She can read messages.C．She can do housework.D．She can read news to its users. 30．Which company's chatbot program can act as an academic consultant?A．Amazon.B．Microsoft.C．Apple.D．IBM. 31．What can be learned from the last paragraph?A．Chatbots will be used into cars soon.B．Samantha is played by a US actor in the film.C．Chatbots mainly run on smartphones now.D．The film Her doesn't interest many audience.Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But differences that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb (麻木的) to new stimulation (刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it happens. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they’d felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession (痴迷) with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a “ruby-crowned kinglet (红冠戴菊鸟) “ and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of “time” and “destination” are further blocks to awareness. I came across many hikers who were heading to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. They seldom walked around a bit, to take a moment to see what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. “Oh, a few birds,” they said. They seemed to only pay attentionto their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Think in this way and you will see a new world in your life.32．According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more ________. A．anxious to do wonders B．eager to explore the world around them C．likely to develop unpleasant habits D．understanding to others' feelings 33．What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A．To admit mistakes honestly.B．To stop complaining all the time. C．To follow the teacher's advice.D．To avoid jumping to conclusions. 34．Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?A．They focus on arriving at the camp in time.B．The natural beauty isn't attractive to them.C．The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.D．They are keen to see rare birds at the destination.35．In the passage, the author wants to tell us we should __________.A．open our mind to new things and ideasB．get rid of some bad habits in our daily lifeC．use our senses to feel the wonders of the worldD．try our best to protect nature四、阅读回答问题I work with V olunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick animals can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown because the woman had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to-3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could find the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to build a nest and fix it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I told the owner what she should do and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure, but sometime the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all－LUNCH! The owl parents gave the owl chick lunch and would probably continue to do so.36．Why did the writer get a recue call from a woman in Muttontown?______________________________________________________________________ 37．Where did the writer put some pine branches?______________________________________________________________________ 38．What did the writer give the homeowner?______________________________________________________________________ 39．Who gave lunch to the owl chick?______________________________________________________________________ 40．What is the passage mainly about?______________________________________________________________________五、书信作文41．从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的文段写作。

I was told that the education department was offering a "free" course (课程) called Thinking Chess for three credits (学分). I jumped at the idea of taking the class because, after all, who doesn't want to 11 a few dollars? More than that, I'd always wanted to learn chess. And, even if I weren't excited enough about free credits, news about our instructor was appealing enough to me. He was an international grandmaster (大师), which 12 I would be learning from one of the game's best. I could hardly wait to him.The instructor Ashley was kind and smart, a former graduate returning to teach, and this meet was no game for him. He meant business. In his introduction, he made it job real that our credits would be hard-earned. In order to 13 the class, we had to write a paper on how we plan to 14 what we would learn in class to our future professions and, finally to our lives.

I was worried that I had to speak English so much! But at the end of the school day, I was happier than I thought because the morning with them today was more enjoyable than I expected.Today is the most unforgettable first day I have had! Matthew is fantastic! His English is clearer and easier to listen to than I thought. The other English student, Beth, is the most helpful girl I've ever met. There were lots of things to do on the first day. Beth offered to help Miss Chen put up all the notices. Of course, some of the credit(功劳)should also go to ME because I translated(翻译) some of the notices for her. Miss Chen praised us!We finished all the preparations 10 minutes earlier than expected, then Beth and I talked for a while. Matthew sang several English songs and did some stand-up comedy at the party. We all praised him. When the bell rang to end the first school day, none of us wanted to leave.When I went back home, I had a little headache. I have probably spoken more English today than the whole of last year.It was really a happy day! I hope our friendship can continue, even after they go back to England!25．The writer felt _________ when he heard the news from Miss Chen.A．excited B．angry C．worried D．embarrassed 26．Beth helped Miss Chen with the _________.A．comedy B．speeches C．notices D．translation 27．Matthew and Beth _________ on the first day.A．spoke much Chinese B．got lots of praiseC．had a little headache D．forgot to leave the school28．From the passage, we know that the writer _________.A．caught a bad cold that day B．went back home with Beth C．expects to travel to England D．likes the two English studentsIn 1883, an imaginative engineer named John Roebling decided to build aspectacular(壮观的)bridge connecting New York with Long Island. However, bridge building experts throughout the world thought that this was a pipe dream. It was not practical. It had never been done before.But Roebling refused to listen to them. He thought about the bridge day and night and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done. After much discussion and persuasion he convinced (说服) his son Washington, who was a promising engineer himself, that the bridge in fact could be built.Working together for the first time, the father and son developed concepts of how it could be done. With great excitement, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.The project started well, but several months after it began, a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was so seriously injured that he was never able to walk, talk or even move again."We told them so", "Crazy men and their crazy dreams", "It's foolish to chase (追求) wild visions", the critics said and most thought the project should be ended since the Roeblings were the only ones who knew how the bridge can be built. In spite of his handicap Washington still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever.Washington's wife tried to inspire and pass on her husband's enthusiasm to some of his friends, but they were too daunted by the task. As he lay in his hospital room, an idea suddenly hit him. All he could do was to move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. By moving this finger and tapping (轻叩) it on his wife's arm, he slowly developed a code (代码) to communicate with her. Then he used this way to tell his wife what the engineers should do. It seemed crazy but the project was under way again. For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife's arm, until the bridge was finally completed.Today the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory as a tribute (致敬) to the great success of one man's spirit and his determination not to be defeated by circumstances (境遇).29．The underlined word "daunted" (para.6) is closest in meaning to "__________".

But this common knowledge turns out wrong.A new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at an angle (角度) that's 15.4 degrees off to the observer's right-well outside of the range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstmann, "She's not looking at you." This is somewhat ironic, because the entire phenomenon of a person's gaze (凝视) in a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the "Mona Lisa effect (效应)". That effect is absolutely real, Horstmann said. If a person is illustrated or photographed looking straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as the angle of the person's gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.This is important for human interaction with on screen characters. If you want someone off to the right side of a room to feel that a person on-screen is looking at him or her, you don't cut the gaze of the character to that side-surprisingly, doing so would make an observer feel like the character isn't looking at anyone in the room at all. Instead, you keep the gaze straight ahead.Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation ofartificial-intelligence avatars (虚拟头像) when Horstmann took a long look at the "Mona Lisa" and realized she wasn't looking at him.To make sure it wasn't just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view images of the "Mona Lisa" on a computer screen. They set a ruler between the viewer and the screen and asked the participants to note which number on the ruler intersected (横切) Mona Lisa's gaze. To calculate (估测) the angle of Mona Lisa's gaze as she looked at the viewer, they moved the ruler farther from or closer to the screen during the study. Consistently, the researchers found, participants judged that the woman in the "Mona Lisa" portrait was not looking straight at them, but slightly off to their right.So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn't sure. It's possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first created the term "Mona Lisa effect" just thought it was a cool name.33．It is generally believed that the woman in the painting "Mona Lisa"A．attracts the viewers to look back B．looks at the viewers wherever they stand C．fixes her eyes on the back of the viewers D．seems mysterious because of her eyes 34．The purpose of the experiment involving 24 people was to _________.A．calculate the angle of Mona Lisa's gaze B．create artificial-intelligence avatars C．make sure Horstmann's belief is right D．explain how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied35．What gaze range in a painting will cause the Mona Lisa effect?A．B．C．D．36．What can we learn from the passage?A．Horstmann thinks it's cool to create the term "Mona Lisa effect".B．The Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.C．The position of the ruler in the experiment will influence the viewers' judgement. D．Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention.四、回答问题阅读短文，回答问题When an animal helps another animal, it usually gets something valuable (有价值的) in return. For a long time, many scientists thought that only people could act generously (慷慨地) just because it feels good.However, a new study in Germany suggests that chimpanzees (an animal like a large monkey without a tail) also do good things for no real reason. And so do children who are as young as 18 months of age. Maybe it is because humans and chimpanzees share an ancestor about 6 million years ago.People and chimpanzees appear to develop such features without any other training, says Warneken, a scientist in Germany.Warneken and his partners worked on adult chimpanzees that live on an island in the African country of Uganda. They also worked with 18-month-old children in Germany. The researchers performed three experiments on the adult chimpanzees and two experiments on the kids. In the first animal experiment, a person tried to reach his arm into a cage to get a stick, but he couldn't reach it. A chimpanzee was in the cage, and it could reach the stick if it wanted to.Thirty-six chimpanzees took part in this experiment one by one, and no chimpanzee saw what the other chimpanzees had done. Even though the animals hadn't met the person before, they usually took the stick and gave it to the person. What's more, they did this whether or notthe person gave them bananas as a reward (奖励).In a similar experiment, 36 children acted in a similar way. They helped the person reach the stick, whether or not they were given toys for their help.Researchers did other experiments on chimpanzees and babies. No rewards were given in either experiment. And still, both the chimpanzees and children went out of their way to help. 37．What did many scientists think for a long time?_________________________________________________________________ 38．Where did they do the experiments?_________________________________________________________________39．How many chimpanzees took part in this experiment?_________________________________________________________________40．Did children act in a similar way as chimpanzees in the experiment?_________________________________________________________________五、书信作文41．假如你是李华，9月10日你们班级将要组织教师节相关庆祝活动。
