Then, the hero wins and you realize you've been holding your breath all the time. Superhero movies come out every year. Avengers: Endgame was popular that tickets for the first week were sold out quickly. Why do we never get tired of watching these movies?Superhuman abilities, alien worlds, and strange situations are features of our favorite superhero movies. Yet these characteristics are absent from our real life. The great difference between these movies and our daily life allows us to separate one from the other. When our real life becomes too hard for us to face, we can get away into the world of superheroes.Superheroes are those who have super powers and are brave enough to sacrifice（牺牲）themselves. This kind of courage is often a translated on screen as superheroes using their abilities to protect humans. This is another reason why we love them. We are born to be attracted to people who protect weaker ones.In recent movies, superheroes with amazing abilities also experience very human moments like losing loved ones. As a result, we see part of ourselves in these characters and they help us face challenges like them.The last reason why superhero movies are so popular today is money. These movies make a great deal of money. This win-win situation drives a lot of film-makers to keep making the films. Over the past few years, superheroes have turned from comic-book characters to movie stars. They have become such a common part of popular culture that it seems we can't live without them. You might eat your popcorn while watching the breath-stealing scenes again soon.（1）In Paragraph 1, people hold their breath because they ________A.feel excited to get a ticketB.worry the hero may failC.have popcorn in mouthD.expect to see the villain（2）How many reasons are there for people to love superhero movies?A.Six.B.Five.C.Three.D.Four.（3）What does the writer think of the future of superhero movies?A.Superhero movies will still be popular for some time.B.Superhero movies will have to face new challenges.C.People will get tired of the superhero movies soon.D.Filmmakers may not make money from the movies.2.Mike Myers is a teacher at Chauncey Rose High School in Terre Haute, Indiana（印第安纳州）. Last year, he taught his students about the world's rainforests. They learned that rainforests are important because the plants, and animals of the rainforests give us food, wood, and medicine.Destruction of the world's rainforests is a serious problem. Unluckily, rainforests are disappearing at a rate of 80 acres（英亩）per minute! As part of a class projects, Myers' students bought three acres of rainforest 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 rainforests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rainforest.So last June, Myers and four of his students went on a seven-day trip to visit the rainforests of Costa Rica. "The trip was wonderful. It was a very exciting experience," said Myers.At the beginning of the week, the group took a boat ride down a river. They saw alligators and crocodiles. In the middle of the week, a guide took Myers and his students into the rainforest. "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 including the plants, animals, food and culture. During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities. They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding, and visited Costa Rica's active volcano （火山）. Myers hopes to make the trip every year with a afferent group of kids.（1）How much did Myers students pay for the rain forest they bought?A.$2,000.B.$80.C.$25.D.$75.（2）The underlined word "Destruction" in Paragraph 2 means "The process of being________."A.discoveredB.describedC.destroyedD.developed（3）The passage mainly shows that Myers and his students ________A.went to the rain forest for different kinds of fun activitiesB.were interested in the culture of Costa RicaC.did something to protect rainforestsD.wanted to buy the rainforest in Costa Rica3.This painting is called The Fighting Temeraire. Temeraire is the name of the big, old sailing ship that you can see on the left of the picture. People chose this picture to be the greatest painting in Britain.J. M. W. Turner painted it in 1839. It shows the old sailing ship, the Temeraire, on the River Thames near London. There's a small tugboat pulling the old ship. It's in fact taking the Temeraire on its last journey. The old ship is going to the breaker's yard. In the background we can see the sun setting.The picture, however, is more than just a painting of two boats in the evening. The artist wanted to show the end of an era（时代）. The time of the beautiful, old sailing ships is coming to an end. That's why we see this happening at sunset. In the little brown tugboat we can see the new industrial era starting. The tugboat is small and dark and it's making a lot of smoke, but it's very strong, because it's pulling the much bigger ship.The painting shows a real event. Turner watched the Temeraire taking its last journey up the Thames, but he changed some of the details. He painted the old ship white and gold so that it looks like a ghost. In fact, the real ship was black and yellow. We also see the sun setting behind the ship, but in fact, the ship travelled towards the sunset. However, Turner wanted to show the sun setting on the time of the beautiful old sailing ships.Turner painted The Fighting Temeraire when he was quite old, so perhaps he wanted to show the sun setting on his own life, too. He loved the painting and he never sold it. You can see it today in the National Gallery in London.（1）The Fighting Temeraire ________.A.was painted by a famous young artistB.shows two nice new shipsC.is the name of a big sailing shipD.was thought the best painting in Britain（2）The old ship was pulled to the yard ________.A.to be soldB.to be broken upC.to be painted newD.to be repaired（3）What does the tugboat stand for according to the passage?A.The white and gold ghost.B.The painter's own life.C.The new industrial era.D.The beautiful old era.（4）What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A.Today the painting is kept in the National Gallery in London.B.Finally Turner sold this painting because he didn't like it.C.The color of the real sailing ship was white and gold.D.In the painting the sailing ship was going towards the sunset.4.Each year on Feb. 21, UNESCO holds an International Mother Language Day（IMLD）. The event is to help people to pay attention to the disappearance of the world's languages: many of them are disappearing each year. UNESCO sees this as a terrible fact.What happens when a language dies out? Something great is lost—not just sounds and marks but the way that people understand the world and communicate with each other. We keep different cultures and traditions through languages. Kill a language and all these are killed too.Through IMLD, more and more people come to realize the terrible situation and try to stop it. Google's 2018 Endangered Languages Project is a good example. Many speakers and protectors of endangered languages upload（上传）texts, audios and videos to the project website. They want to introduce the way that people communicate and express themselves around the world.The Myaamia Project is the same kind of effort to revive the language spoken by the Miami tribes（部落）of the United States, Project members work to encourage people to study and communicate with this language, which died out in the 1960s.These activities give life to those endangered languages. People who work to keep languages alive are not limited to the past. Many young people design apps and use social media to support their activities. They "spread the word" to save the word.So, while the problem of disappearing languages remains a very serious one, there is hope. We all have a special feeling of our mother language. This is why we should remember the wise words of late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela: "If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart."（1）UNESCO holds IMLD every year in order to help people to ________A.realize the situation of endangered languagesB.practice reading skills of mother languagesC.learn and use endangered languagesD.show their talents in learning languages（2）What did people do in Google's 2018 Endangered Languages Project?A.Translate endangered languages into mother languages.B.Share materials about endangered o languages online.C.Discuss how to make good use of Google.D.Offer online courses on endangered languages.（3）What does the underlined word "revive" mean in Chinese in Paragraph 4?A.清除B.复活C.创造D.学习（4）What can we infer（推断）from Paragraph 5?A.Young people have creative ways to protect languages.B.Young people don't care about endangered languages.C.It is more difficult to protect endangered languages.D.The disappearance of languages has already stopped.（5）The writer mentions Nelson Mandela's words in order to ________A.show the possibility of protecting mother languagesB.tell the trouble in learning endangered languagesC.tell the importance of one's mother languageD.show his contributions to language protection5. 阅读短文，回答下列小题。

Friends often ask me if I am a cat person or a dog person. I don’t know. Let’s have a discussion first.Cat people adore cats because they are beautiful and independent. Cats don’t need much care.

You would go to a shop and buy a new one. What if you could simply print out a real, working pen with your 3-D printer without leaving your room?Ten years ago people could only see 3-D printing in science fiction movies. But now 3-D printing is here and it's bringing big changes.Unlike normal printing that can only copy a 2-D picture with ink. 3-D printing can build almost anything made from material. The printer layers(分层) the material in different shapes to create the object you want to be copied.The 3-D printer has been used to make many different things. People have made cups, cars and even an airplane with it. Doctors have been using 3-D printers for several years. People's nervous systems(系统) have been printed out in 3-D form in medical research. Some body parts have been printed and used in hospital. Several months ago, doctors used a 3-D printer to rebuild the face of a person who had a bad accident. In the future, it is expected that the printer will make human organs(器官)to save more lives.However there are drawbacks to the printer. At the moment, printing can be quite slow and it's still rather expensive. The average(平均的) price of a household printer is around $1,700, not including the cost of the materials.But as the technology develops, it shouldn't be long before disadvantages are improved. Only time will tell where this new technology will take us.1．Where could people see 3-D printing ten years ago?A．In large high school. B．In science fiction movies.C．In digital camera shop. D．In hospital.2．What can’t People make with a 3-D printer so far?A．An airplane. B．A cup. C．The face of a person. D．Human organs.3．What does the underlined word "drawbacks" mean?A．不足B．趋势C．优点D．影响4．Which of the following is TRUE?A．The normal printer can build 3-D objects you want.B．No nervous systems are printed out in 3-D form.C．The 3-D printing can be cheaper and faster in the future.D．There will be no drawbacks to the 3-D printing in the future.5．What's the best title of the passage?A．The advantages of 3-D printing B．The Disadvantages of 3-D PrintingC．The Changes Brought by 3-D Printing D．he Rapid Development of ScienceD16、Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as everwhen he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试)increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.1．What is the main idea of paragraph 1?A．People remember well what they learned in childhood.B．Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C．Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D．Stories for children are easy to remember.2．The author explains the law of overlearning by_________.A．presenting research findings B．setting down general rulesC．making a comparison D．using examples3．According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_______.A．a result of overlearning B．a special case of crammingC．a skill to deal with math problems D．a basic step towards advanced studies4．What is the author's opinion on cramming?A．It leads to failure in college exams. B．It's helpful only in a limited way.C．It's possible to result in poor memory. D．It increases students' learning interest.E17、"Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents," said Jo."It's so terrible to be poor!" sighed Meg, looking down at her old dress."I don~t think it's fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things, and other girls nothing at all," added little Amy. "We've got Father and Mother and each other," said Beth from her corner.Jo said sadly, "We haven't got Father, and shall not have him for a long time." She didn't say "perhaps never", but each silently added it, thinking of Father far away, where the fighting was.Nobody spoke for a minute; then Meg said, "You know the reason why Mother asked us not to have any presents this Christmas was that it is going to be a hard time for everyone; and she thinks we ought not to spend money for pleasure when our men are suffering in the army.""We've each got a dollar, and the army wouldn't be much helped by our giving that. I agree not to ask anything from Mother or you, but I do want to buy Undine and Sintram for myself; I've wanted it so long," said Jo, who was a bookworm."I planned to spend mine on new- music," said Beth."I shall get a nice box of drawing pencils; I really need them," said Amy decidedly."Mother didn't say anything about our money, and she won't wish us to give up everything. Let's each buy what we want, and have a little fun; I'm sure we work hard enough to earn it," cried Jo.1．What is the relationship between the four girls?A．They are friends. B．They are neighbours.C．They are classmates. D．They are sisters.2．When did the story happen?A．In an ancient time. B．In a modern society.C．In the war time. D．In a peaceful time.3．What was their life like?A．Poor and tough. B．Rich and wonderful.C．Exciting and delightful. D．Simple but comfortable.4．What is NOT true about the girls according to the passage?A．They cared about others.B．They were strong and active.C．They gave up all their hobbies and dreams.D．They still kept their dreams.F18、The first robots were invented in the 1920s. Robots have appeared in many American films. In some films, they are stronger, faster and cleverer than people.In real life, robots are mainly used in factories. They do some dangerous and difficult jobs for humans.Robots also helpdisabledpeople, for example, blind people. Today many blind people have a guide dog to help them. In the future, guide dogs might be robot dogs.One kind of robot guide dog has wheels. It moves in fron t of the owner. It is very clever. It knows the speed of its owner’s walk. The owner wears a special belt (带子). This belt sends instructions to the owner from the dog, such as “Stop here”, “Turn left” or “Turn right”.In the United States, another kind of robot helps disabled people to take care of themselves in their daily life. The robot hears the sound of its owner’s voice. It follows instructions such as “Turn the page” or “Make a cup of coffee”.Robots are also used in American hospitals. They can do simple jobs. At one hospital, for example, a robot takes meals from the kitchen to patients’ rooms. It never gets lost because this robot has a map of the hospital in its computer memory.Though robots can help people in many different ways, they will never take the place of humans.1．From the passage, we know robots cannot be ______.A．dangerous animals B．factory workersC．guide dogs D．hospital helpers2．A robot guide dog ______.A．goes in front of the blind peopleB．walk side by side with blind peopleC．has a map in its headD．helps patients with their meals3．The underlined word “disabled” means ______.A．不能的B．有害的C．失灵的D．残疾的4．Some disabled people need robots help to ______.A．take care of themselvesB．talk to other peopleC．become scientistsD．do dangerous jobs5．In the passage, the writer wants to tell us that ______.A．robots are stronger and cleverer than humansB．disabled people cannot look after themselves without the robotsC．robots will take the place of humans some day in the futureD．robots can help humans in many different waysⅤ.书面表达19、假如你即将在学校英语兴趣小组的活动中发言，请你用英语写一篇发言稿。

You might say a person is as cool as a cucumber if he never seems to worry about anything and stays calm in a stressful situation.If two people are very similar, you might say they are like two peas in a pod. There are several expressions about beans. If someone is very energetic, you might say she is full of beans. If you say something does not amount to a hill of beans, youmean it is of little importance. I might say you don't know beans about a subject if you do not know anything at all about it. But if you spill the beans, you tell something that was supposed to be a secret.Potatoes are a popular food in many areas. But something is considered small potatoes if it is not important. You probably would not want to hold a hot potato in your empty hands. This also means a problem or an issue that no one wants to deal with. Someone might call you a couch potato if you sit and watch television all day and get little or no physical exercise.Finally, let us talk about lemons. Lemons have a sour taste if you eat them plain. But lemons make a nice drink when you mix their juice with sugar and water. So here is an expression about lemons that we like: If life gives you lemons, make lemonade. This means you should always try to make the best of a bad situation.1．Who are most probably described as two peas in a pod?A．Lovers. B．Partners. C．Deskmates. D．Twins.2．If one knows nothing about the project you are working on, we can say he___________ about it.A．doesn't know beans B．makes lemonade C．holds a hot potato D．is as cool as a cucumber3．"A couch potato" refers to people who __________.A．are of little importance B．get little or no physical exerciseC．are interested in TV programs D．have difficult problems to deal with4．What's the passage about?A．The way of using vegetables and fruits. B．The importance of vegetables and fruits.C．Expressions about vegetables and fruits. D．The humor of English words and expressions.B14、So far, there have been so many successful men and women in the world. And it’s no surprise for many of us to dream of doing business when we grow up. However, Moziah Bridge tells us quite different story.Moziah Bridges is now the CEO of his Mo’s Bow’s company. He has already earned $200,000 by selling bow ties and o ther men’s fashion accessories（饰品）. The boy designs all the bow ties together with seven other workers in the company, including his mother and grandmother.“Mo is the CEO of the company, but I am the CEO of Mo,” Bridges’ grandma said.About four years ago, when Bridges went shopping for bow ties, he found they were in ugly” black and red. He wanted a change. So he asked his grandma to teach him to sew（缝纫）and finally he developed the talent of creating bow ties. Though his very first bow tie didn’t look ni ce, the young sewer kept on practicing. He used colorful cloth with different pictures. Then his parents and friends started to like his works.At first he tried to sell them online to several stores in the south. Soon Mo’s bow ties became popular. With th e help of Dayond John, CEO of the famous US clothes brand FUBU, Bridges built his own company. Not only did Daymond John provide moneyfor him, but also produced Bridges to the circle of fashion and business industries.Now the 13-year-old’s business has developed rapidly. So you can just start now! You don’t have to wait till you’re older. If you have a dream, go for it!1．（小题1）How many people are there in Mo’s Bow’s Company?A．Seven B．Eight C．Nine D．Ten2．（小题2）What do we know about Bridges’s gran dma from the third paragraph?A．She takes pride in her grandson.B．She is not pleased with Bridges’ workC．She doesn’t care about Bridges’ company.D．She doesn’t want to work for Bridges.3．（小题3）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Brides taught himself how to sew.B．Bridges’ first bow tie looked niceC．Mo’s Bow’s Company develops slowly.D．Daymond John really helped Bridges a lot.4．（小题4）What kind of person is MoZiah Bridges ?A．Clever but boring.B．Talented but lazy.C．Creative and hardworking.D．Careless and stupid.5．（小题5）Which can be the best title of this passage?A．A Teenage CEO and His BusinessB．Successful Men and WomenC．Daymond John and Moziah BridgesD．Fashion and Business IndustriesC15、When you get up in the morning, do you find it hard to choose what clothes to wear? If so, you probably need help to make the bigger choices in your life, like what to do when you’re older. “Brave New Girls”, by American author Jean Gadeberg, will help you make such choices. It says you must be a brave new girl. A brave new girl is one who is confident, healthy and happy.A brave new girl can realize her dreams. To be brave, you need to make a decision for yourself. Other people may tell you what to do, but you should not listen to them. You must only do what you want. If you always wear clothes like your favourite TVstar, you must stop doing so. Instead, become your own star and wear the clothes you want. You have to like your body, it says. If you don’t, you will not take good care of it and won’t stay healthy. The book also says that girls must start becoming more confident. If you are confident, you’ll succeed in life. A good way to become confident is to realize that you are as clever as boys. In fact you are. Just look at theirgrades! Only then can you realize your dreams and become who you want to be. 1．What quality should a brave new girl have?A．Confident B．HealthyC．Happy D．A, B and C2．“Brave New Girls” is a.A．film B．storyC．book D．newspaper3．Suppose（假如）you are a brave new girl, which answer is wrong?A．Make a decision for yourselfB．Wear clothes like your favourite TV starC．Like your bodyD．Realize that you are as clever as boys.4．What’s the meaning of the word “grade” in this passage?A．年级B．成绩C．品位D．道路5．What’s the best title of the passage?A．To be braveB．A good bookC．To be a brave new girlD．Realize dreamsD16、根据材料内容，选择最佳答案。

During the years when I was a teacher, I learned a lot of things. Perhaps the most important one was the life-changing 16 of encouraging words.I 17 what Leo Buscaglia had done with his students in University of Southern California. In one class Leo Buscaglia and his s tudents had made two lists of words , one positive and one negative. Then they 18 the negative words in the trash and tried to use only the positive words for one month. They were 19 at how much better their lives became just by using words full of 20 .I decided to try this as well by 21 something good to write on each paper my students 22 . No matter how many mistakes a student’s paper contained, there was always a 23 sentence, beautiful thought, or a great idea that I could 24 on. I remember glancing over my desk and 25 some of the students reading those encouraging words 26 . It was a joy seeing their eyes shine a little brighter, their backs sit up a little straighter, and their learning climb a lot 27 .I recently saw one of my 28 students and we talked for a while. He has got married, and has two children now. As I was saying goodbye, he said, “You know I 29 have a few of those old papers. I look at them from time to time. I just hope my kids have a good teacher like you.” I was amazed at the 30 those few positive words had on his life.May your own life be forever full of encouraging words in your ears, from your lips and in your heart.( )16.
