information gi v en in the passage.ASan Francisco has its cable cars.Seattle has its Space Needle.And，Longview has its squirrel bridge.The bridge，which has attracted international attention，is now a local landmark.The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder，Amos Peters，to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars.The original bridge was built over Olympia Way on the west edge of the library grounds.Before the bridge was built，squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office building where office staff put out a nutty feast for the squirrels.Many times，Peters and others who worked in and near Park Plaza witnessed squirrels being run over.One day Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its mouth，and that day’s coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety.The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and formed a committee to ask the blessing of the City Council(市政会)．The Council approved，and Councilwoman Bess LaRiviere jokingly named the bridge “Nutty Narrows”．After architects designed the bridge，Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started construction.They built the 60-foot bridge from aluminum and lengths of fire hose(消防水带)．It cost $1,000.It didn’t take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started.Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching_them_the_ropes.The story was picked up by the media，and Nutty Narrows became known in newspapers all over the world.In 1983，after 20 years of use，Peters took down the worn-out bridge.Repairs were made and crosspieces were replaced.The faded sign was repainted and in July 1983，hundreds of animal lovers attended the completion ceremony of the new bridge.Peters died in 1984，and a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion to the project.56．The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in order to________.A．offer squirrels a place to eat nutsB．set up a local landmarkC．help improve trafficD．protect squirrels57．What happened over the coffee break discussion?A．The committee got the Council’s blessing.B．The squirrel bridge idea was born.C．A councilwoman named the bridge.D．A squirrel was found dead.58．What does the underlined phrase “teaching them the ropes” probably mean in the text?A．Passing them a rope.B．Directing them to store food for winter.C．Teaching them a lesson.D．Showing them how to use the bridge.59．Which of the following is TRUE of the squirrel bridge?A．It was replaced by a longer one.B．It was built from wood and metal.C．It was rebuilt after years of use.D．It was designed by Bill Hutch.60．What can we learn about Amos Peters?A．He is remembered for his love of animals.B．He donated $1,000 to build the bridge.C．He was a member of the City Council.D．He was awarded a medal for building the bridge.BAs any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows，there is far more to family meal than food.Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping(录像) the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes.They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children.But as the number of children gets larger，conversation gives way to the parents’ efforts to control the loud noise they make.That can have an important effect on the children.“In general，the more question-asking the parents do，the higher the children’s IQ scores are，”Lewis says.“And the more children there are，the lessquestion-asking there is.”The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings(兄弟姐妹)．Lewis found that in families with three or four children，dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child，who has the most to talk about，and the youngest，who needs the most attention.“Middle_children_are_invisible，” says Lewis.“When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner，chances are it’s the middle child.” There is，however，one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention.“When the TV is on，” Lewis says，“dinner is a non-event.”61．The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to ________.A．show the relationship between parents and childrenB．teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner tableC．report on the findings of a studyD．give information about family problems62．Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because ________.A．they are busy serving food to their childrenB．they are busy keeping order at the dinner tableC．they have to pay more attention to younger childrenD．they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family63．By saying “Middle children are invisible” in Paragraph 3，Lewis means that middle children ________.A．have to help their parents to serve dinnerB．get the least attention from the familyC．are often kept away from the dinner tableD．find it hard to keep up with other children64．Lewis’ research provides an answer to the question ________.A．why TV is important in family lifeB．why parents should keep good orderC．why children in small families seem to be quieterD．why middle children seem to have more difficulties in life65．Which of the following statements would the writer agree to?A．It is important to have the right food for children.B．It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner.C．Parents should talk to each of their children frequently.D．Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner.CAs a boy growing up in India，I had longed to travel abroad.I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s，with great interest. My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe，where my father was to attend a meeting.We planned to travel to Belgium，Netherlands and West Germany.I have vivid memories even today of going to Mumbai Airport at night，all excited about finally going abroad.I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but I finally got to experience them first-hand，during the flight to Frankfurt.We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew members.The flight is really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable，even for someone like me，who is otherwise scared of flying.After spending almost two weeks in Europe，we took the Lufthansa Airport Express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt Airport，for our return flight.What a journey that was！All along the Rhine(莱茵河)，it was simply an unforgettable experience.I was in a sombre mood on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation，but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again，with quality service.Being the first airline to take me overseas，Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart.Even today，I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airlines.Flying，in general，for me，has always been an ordeal(煎熬)．Flying on Lufthansa，however，is something I always have and I will always look forward to. 66．Which country does the author live in now?A．India.

marks)Directions：Read the follo w ing passage.Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each ans w er.The Mystery of HypnosisPeople have been pondering and arguing over hypnosis for more than 200 years，but science has yet to fully explain how it actually happens.We see what a person does under hypnosis，but it isn’t clear why he or she does it.This puzzle is really a small piece in a much bigger puzzle：how the human mind works.It’s unlikely that scientists will arrive at a definitive explanation of the mind in the foreseeable future，so it’s a good bet hypnosis will remain something of a mystery as well.But psychiatrists do understand the general characteristics of hypnosis.It is a sleeplike state usually induced by extreme suggestibility，relaxation and heightened imagination.It’s not really like sleep，because the subject is alert the whole time.It is more often compared to daydreaming，or the feeling of “losing yourself” in a book or movie.You are fully conscious，but you tune out most of the stimulus around you.You focus intently on the subject at hand，to the near exclusion of any other thought.In the everyday trance of a daydream or movie，an imaginary world seems somewhat real to you，in the sense that it fully engages your emotions.Some researchers categorize all such trances as forms of self-hypnosis.Most psychiatrists focus on the trance state brought on by international relaxation and focusing exercises.This deep hypnosis is often compared to the mental state between wakefulness and sleep.In conventional hypnosis，you approach the suggestions of the hypnotist，or your own ideas，as if they were reality.If the hypnotist suggests that your tongue has swollen up twice its size，you’ll feel a sensation in your mouth and you may have trouble talking.If thehypnotist suggests that you are drinking a chocolate milkshake，you’ll taste the milkshakeand feel it cooling your mouth and throat.But the entire time，you are aware that it’s all imaginary.Essentially，you’re “playing pretend” as kids do.In this special mental state，people feel uninhibited and relaxed.Presumably，this is because they tune out the worries and doubts that normally keep their actions in check.You might experience the same feeling while watching a movie：As you get engrossed in the plot，worries about your job，family，etc.fade away，until all you’re thinking about is what’s up on the screen.In the state，you are also highly suggestible.That is，when the hypnotist tells you to do something，you’ll probably embrace the idea completely.This is what makes stage hypnotist shows so entertaining.Normally reserved，sensible adults are suddenly walking around the stage clucking like chickens or singing at the top of their lungs.Fear of embarrassment seems to fly out the window.Of course，a hypnotist can’t get you to do anything you don’t want to do.Title The Mystery of HypnosisSummaryPeople have been

many people fail to achieve their goals，and nearly all of them are for the same reason.It’s true that terrible things do happen to people during their lives，though no fault of their own，which may make them feel upset.Generally speaking，however，getting what you really want out of life is just a matter of the following three simple steps.Firstly，you have to decide what it is that you want the most.But do not make a list of wishes；try to focus on one thing at a time.If you’re not sure about where you want to go，you’d better think it over first and not hurry to perform.Secondly，create an action plan.This will be your map for getting from“where you are now”or “where you want to go”．You know what you want，and what steps you are going to take to get it.For example，if you want a better job，start with a skill assessment and maybe some extra training.Then you’ll need to sell yourself and your skills either to your present employer or to a new employer.Other goals will require a bit more thought.Some will really get you lost without a clue of how to get there.Not to worry，though，books，biographies and such，can be of great help. The third and final step is to perform.Do what you planned.Take the steps you outlined on yourroad map and keep going on all the time.If you run into some people who are against you，simply ignore them.Never give up the goal.Keep pushing.Whatever you do，do not lose heart until you have what you desire in your hands.Never think that you can’t turn your dream into a reality. 81．According to the passage，why do too many people fail to achieve their goals？(No more than6 words)________________________________________________________________________ 82．What’s the most important thing when we decide what to do ？(No more than 8 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 83．If somebody is against you for what you do，what should you do？(No more than 2 words) ________________________________________________________________________ 84．What does the author want to tell readers in this article？(No more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________________ Section C(25 marks)Directions：Write an English composition according to the instructions gi v en belo w in Chinese.最近，很多中学生都纷纷开起了自己的微博。

课时练1阅读理解提速练Ⅰ阅读理解A(2018·福建高中毕业班质检)The World Health Organization(WHO) said that processed meat may be carcinogenic(致癌的)．Do youstill dare eat cancer-linked processed meat? Here are some comments onthe website.Bill (Australia) I’d rather live a short, pleasant life than a long，unhappy one, denying(拒绝给予) myself tasty food just because some experts say it’s not healthy.We should all enjoy the one life we have—if I had listened to every piece of health advice I would never go anywhere, eat anything or enjoy life in any way.So, I won’t change my habit.I am going to have a bacon sandwich, glass of wine, burger, can of coke whenever I feel like it.Tim (America) Is meat really as bad as smoking？I don’t think so.According to the WHO 34，000 people die worldwide per year because they eat processed meat.In 2012, 8.2 million people died of cancer worldwide.That means if you eat a lot of processed meat you have a chance of being among the 0.41 percent of people dying of cancer because of processe d meat.I’ll take the chance.Helen (Switzerland) The WHO doesn’t say that just one bite of meat causes cancer, it is rather saying that people should vary their diet.People who eat more meat often have other unhealthy habits.They usually eat fewer fruits and vegetables and they also often exercise less.Van(China) Perhaps this report will make people consider becoming vegetarians(素食者)．So for your health, the environment and future generations, it is not difficult; it just needs a change of attitude.There is a vast variety of other delicious food available to enjoy.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了一些网民对于世界卫生组织公布的食用加工肉制品可能致癌的这一信息的个人看法。
