Typhoons are some of the worst storms, usually around the Pacific Ocean and the SouthChi na Sea.Most happen in July, August and September.How does a typhoon happen? When lots of sea water gets hot in the summer sun, it evaporates(蒸发) into the air. This makes the air hotter. When the air gets warm enough, it starts to move higher up into the sky. Then, cooler air around it rushes in. It fills the space that is left. After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. And it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when the wind moves faster than 30 metres a second, a typhoon begins.A typhoon has two parts. One is called the “eye ”. In the eye, the wind does not move so fast. The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye. This is where the strongest winds and heaviest rains are.Typhoons are very dangerous. In 20XX, Typhoon Y unna killed 164 people in Zhejiang, and 24 people were missing. In May 20XX, Typhoon Pearl hit Guangdong and Fujian, and thousands of houses were blown down.What to do when a typhoon hits● Stay inside. Close all the windows and stay away from them.● Try to bring all of your things inside. Strong winds could even blow away your bikes! ● Listen to the radio or TV for important information. ● If you ’re told to go to a safer place, do so right away. （ ）41. Typhoons often happen ____________.A. in the hot seasonB. in the cold seasonC. only in ChinaD. under the sea（ ）42. Which picture can tell the meaning of the underlined sentences?A. B. C. D. （ ）43. When a typhoon comes, we cannot ________________.A. close all the windowsB. listen to typhoon newsC. stay outside with your bikeD. stay inside the strong house（ ）44. This passage is mainly about ____________.A. the knowledge of typhoonB. the eye of a typhoon B. the most dangerous typhoon Yunna D. the names of typhoon（ ）45. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The warmer the air gets, the slower the wind moves.B. This year Typhoon Pearl killed 164 people in Zhejiang.C. The stronger winds and hardest rains are in the eye of typhoon.D. A typhoon will happen when the wind goes faster than 30 metres a second. BSherlock Holmes is not a real detective or even a real person, but people send letters to him at his address in London even though he cannot possibly receive them! I think people write to him because the books about him make him seem so real and because he is so clever at solving crimes. Detectives need to be able to notice tiny details and use logic(逻辑) to discover who did the crime and why they did it. Sherlock Holmes knows how to do all these things.Pictures of Sherlock Holmes always show him wearing a strange hat, smoking a pipe and looking carefully through a magnifying glass(放大镜), trying to find clues. Clues are important in solving crimes, but I think Sherlock Holmes also uses his imagination and his knowledge of science to catch criminals.For example, in my favourite story, The Hound(猎犬) of the Baskevilles , he investigates(调查) the mysterious death of the Lord(勋爵) of Baskeville. Using science, he discovers that the murderer used a large dog to chase the lord. He finds where the dog was hidden in the forest around Baskeville House. Holmes discovers who the murderer is by reading about3 / 6. . 装 订 线the history of the Baskeville family. By doing this, he find s out that the first Lord of Baskeville from a long ago had a secret son. The grandson of this secret son wanted to kill all the Baskeville family so he could become the new lord. At the end of the story, Holmes makes the murderer stand beside an old picture of the first lord so everyone can see how similar they look.I love the Sherlock Holmes stories because as Holmes is investigating the crime, you can try to discover who the criminal is too. I always try to imagine myself playing the violin like Holmes does while he is thinking about a case. In my imagination, I am Sherlock Holmes.（ ）46. What must a detective be able to do according to this passage? A. Act like a criminal. B. Notice tiny details and use logic. C. Wear a strange hat. D. Have good imagination. （ ）47. What did Sherlock Holmes wear?A. A magnifying glass.B. A strange hat.C. A pipe.D. A stick.（ ）48. Where did Holmes find the dog in the story The Hound of the Baskevilles ? A. In London. B. In Baskeville Hous e.C. In the forest.D. In England.（ ）49. How did Holmes discover who the murderer was?A. By reading about the history of the Baskeville family.B. By hiding in the forest around Baskeville House.C. By following the dog.D. By chasing the lord.（ ）50. Why does the writer like reading the Sherlock Holmes stories?A. He likes to try to guess who the murderer is.B. He likes to dress up as Sherlock Holmes.C. He likes to play the violin.D. He likes to read stories and use his imagination. C(Matt is going on holidays to Brazil. Read this page from his guide book.)Brazil is a beautiful country and you will have a wonderful holiday. Make sure you follow this advice. SafetyIf you lose your passport(护照), your holiday will be ruined , so be careful with it. It is a good idea to buy a money belt. This is a special belt with pockets that you wear under your clothes. It is useful for keeping your money and passport safe.It is easy to get lost in Brazil ’s big cities so make sure that you always carry your hotel ’s address with you. HealthIt is very important to check what vaccinations(疫苗) you need to have before you travel to any country. Your doctor can tell you which ones you need to have for Brazil.Insects can be a problem in Brazil. Some of the insects bite, so you should take insect repellant(驱虫剂) with you. You should also take some medicine with you. If you have a headache or a stomachache, you might find it difficult to buy the right medicine. LanguagePortuguese(葡萄牙语)is Brazil ’s national language so a Portuguese guidebook would be useful. It will help you communicate with local people and it will also help you discover local food. Good guidebooks have many parts fordirections, food, shopping and health problems. What to takeBrazil is a warm country so you will need T-shirts, shorts and sunglasses, but if you want to visit different parts of the country, you will need a coat and strong shoes. The country has many mountains, so it can be much cooler in these places. MoneyBrazil ’s money is called the Real. You can use a credit card （信用卡） in most shops and restaurants but you should also make sure you have enough money so you can buy things in markets. （ ）51. Why is a money belt useful in Brazil?A. Because it has some pockets in the belt.B. Because you can put your passport in the belt.C. Because it ’s used for keeping your money safe.D. Both B and C.（ ）52.

On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin(顽童) was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, sir?” he asked.Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it did cost you nothing? Sir, I wish…” He hesitated(犹豫). Paul thought of course he knew what the boy wanted, but what the boy said surprised him greatly. “I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Pa ul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?” “Oh yes, I’d love to,” the boy answered. After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Sir, would you mind driving in front of my ho use?”Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted.

To deal with this problem, it is recommended that a big part of the government's health budget (预算) be used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment. In fact, many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example, people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. But many people get sick because they fail to do so, and have to spend money seeing a doctor.Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt if the patients had taken action for early prevention. For example, keeping a balanced diet seems to be quite important.One very effective (有效的) and costless way of prevention is regular (规律的) exercise, which is necessary for a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise, such as running, walking, and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better or reduce stress.Health education plays a key role in improving people's health. By giving people more information about health, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it. For example, knowing one's family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy. Information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, which will work before it is too late.However, paying more attention to disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all, prevention and treatment are just two different ways toward the same effect. In conclusion, we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education. 1．What’s the best title of the passage?A．Prevention or Education B．Prevention or TreatmentC．Health or Illness D．Exercise or Illness2．Which of the following can replace (替代) the underlined word bankrupt?A．unable to be cured B．unable t o pay one’s debts (债务)C．stronger than ever before D．more successful than ever before3．We learn from the passage that ________.A．dressing warmly can prevent diseasesB．a balanced diet is cheaper than regular exerciseC．the more health education, the betterD．the government’s health budget should be increased4．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage?CP (Central Point) P (Point)Sp (Sub-point次要点) C (Conclusion)A．B．C．D．B14、Welcome to the Chinese Traditional Artwork WebsiteName: clay potColor: purple, green and blackPrice: ￥240Delivery time: You can get your goods（商品）in 3 days.Our clay pots are cheap and they are of good quality.They are the best gifts for you to send to your friends or relatives.Name: Chinese knotColor. red and yellowPrice: ￥160 (￥300 for two luring the Spring Festival)Delivery time: You can get your goods within 5 days.We have our own designers.

How’s your sleep recently?The Chinese Medical Doctor Association asked 8,200 people in China about their sleep. More than 36.3 percent of them said they often sleep badly. The study also finds that many students have only 5 hours of sleep a day. According to the US National Sleep Foundation, teenagers need 8.5 to 9 hours of sleep every night. What cuts into their sleeping time? Homework. Also, school starts early in the morning.But bad sleeping habits also play a role. Do you like to have a look at your mobile phone before going to bed? The survey finds that 60 percent of people check their phones before they sleep. They read news, check their WeChat (微信) or chat with QQ friends.It’s important for us to get enough sleep. We feel tired and think slowly. Besides, sleepy kids are often un happy, says astudy by the US National Sleep Foundation.We can’t change our school time. But there are still ways to get better sleep. Stay away from coke, coffee and tea at night. They make it hard to fall asleep. Watch less television. Leave your mobile phone and tablet computer (平板电脑) on your desk.根据短文内容，选择最佳答语，并在答题卡上按要求作答。

Everyone wants to be happy. But sometimes, a guest comes in without invitation. It’s unhappiness. Don’t let it get you down. Send it away!When you are happy, the world feels like a better place. A good mood (心情) always gives you hope, which makes trouble and problems easier to handle.No matter how happy you are, it’s natural to feel angry, sad or upset once in a while. Life is full of ups and downs. So it’s good to know some of thefactorsthat influence happiness.One of the biggest factors is social relationships. Talking and sharing is a good way to relax and build confidence. Knowing someone is there for you will make you braver and more outgoing.Another factor is work or school. If you enjoy school, even if you have lots of homework or extra classes, you will still feel that your school life is meaningful and happy. But if you hate school, your negative attitude may cause you to feel bored and upset that you have to do so much work.A third factor is your attitude towards life. How do you feel if you fail in an exam? Maybe you think it’s unfair because you always study hard and should have got a good mark. You can’t stop blaming (责备) yourself. Or, maybe you accept it. You go through the paper carefully, find out why you made stupid mistakes, and tell yourself, “Take it easy!I’ll do better next time!” Your attitude makes a big difference.Do you smile a lot or wear a long face most of the time?1．From this passage, we know that _______________.A．we go upstairs and downstairs in life.B．we should never feel sad or angry in life.C．we have both happy and sad momentsin life.2．What does the underlined word “factors”mean in Chinese?A．事实B．结果C．因素3．Why is social relationship one of the biggest factors that influence happiness?A．Because we can ask our friends to do what we want them to do.B．Because we’ll feel braver and more outgoing if we know someone is there for us.C．Because we are always happy to help others.4．Which of the following statements isTRUE according to the passage?A．We should keep blaming ourselves whenwe fail in an exam.B．We can’t be happy if we are busy with ourstudies.C．We should accept our failure and try to dobetter next time.5．What is the main idea of the passage?A．You make your own happiness.B．Being happy is the key to a successful life.C．It is impossible for us to control ourselves.C15、Please sit down and enjoy your meal．Just don't talk about it．These are the requirements at a popular dining party that is known as "silent dinners"．It encourages people who take part in the dining party not to speak for one to two hours and not to use electronic devices．Instead，the idea is to just on the food．"Silent dinner parties are fast growing，" said Honi Ryan，who has hosted 32 silent dinner parties in 11 cities across eight countries，including Germany，Australia and the United States．"The way we communicate is changing so fast that we need to stop and think about it．"According to a 2013 nationwide survey，restaurant noise came in second only to poor service among customer（顾客）complaints．And 19 percent of diners who took part in the survey said noise and crowds disturbed them most while eating out．Though silent dinners may seem curious，the idea is not a new one．Yogis（瑜伽信徒）have long enjoyed silent meals as part of a deepened practice．In fact，it was a trip to a temple（寺庙）in India by a man that encouraged one Brooklyn restaurant recently to add a silent dinner to its event programming．"We'll make a small speech at the beginning of the meal to make sure everyone understands what is happening and ask them not to speak or use their mobile phones for at least an hour，" said EAT Greenpoint owner Jordan Colon．And background music will be turned off，too．"It's funny；when I first opened EAT，I didn't play music for some time and people had very different reactions（反映）to that，" said Colon．"Some people who come out to eat are ready to party，but it was so quiet without music．But I wanted to create an environment that makes you relaxed．"Although personal reactions to a silent dinner may be various，in general they are more likely to get into a lot of talk afterwards，said Ryan．"At the end of the night people always have a lot to say about silence．But the most reaction is that there is always a good laugh．"1．The first paragraph is written to be a（n）____ ．A．conclusion B．introductionC．argument D．warning2．At silent dinner parties，people should not____．A．leave before they finish eatingB．just pay attention to the foodC．use a mobile phone or listen to musicD．take electronic devices to the party3．What does the writer try to tell us in Paragraph 5?A．Silent meals help people live longer．B．Yogis are the first to hold silent dinners．C．More and more people like eating in silence．D．The idea of eating in silence appeared long ago．4．In Jordan Colon's opinion，silent dinners ____．A．make people comfortable and relaxedB．are hard to be accepted by most peopleC．can help him to attract more customersD．provide a chance to get to know othersD16、China is a great country with the largest population in the world. In order to solve the population problem, the government carried out one-child policy (政策) before. However, for some time, many people see not only its advantages but also disadvantages.From 2016, two-child policy is put into effect. In my opinion two-child policy is the present for the only child. The only child in the family is always lonely. For some families, maybe the parents are the only child and they can also have only one child. When their child grows up and they grow older, and their child marries an only child girl, the burden (负担) on their child and his wife will be too heavy. Their child and his wife will have to take care of two couples. Usually, a young couple lookingafter an old couple is a little difficult. But their parents have two children, they can share the burden of taking care of their parents. It would be much better. At the same time two-child policy can guarantee (保证) the number of Chinese population.All in all, one-child policy has been out of date. And two-child policy is needed and necessary. It can solve the problems of today and the future.1．Which country has the largest population in the world?A．America. B．Britain. C．China. D．Japan.2．When did two-child policy begin?A．From 2013. B．From 2014. C．From 2015. D．From 2016.3．Which of the following sentences is NOT true?A．One-child policy has its advantages and disadvantages.B．It’s easy for a young couple to look after an old couple.C．The only child in the family is always lonely.D．Two children can share the burden of looking after parents.4．What’s the main idea of this passage?A．Two-child policy’s advantages.B．One-child policy’s advantages.C．The population of China. D．Ways to look after old people.5．What’s the writer’s opinion about two-child policy?A．He likes one-child policy better.B．He has no idea about two-child policy.C．He thinks the new policy is really good.D．Two-child policy can not solve problemsE17、Lord and Lady Duncan Live in Buckingham House.

But for the people who work in it, Silicon Valley(硅谷) is more than just a high technology hothouse. It’s also in the heart of sunny California, a great place to start a family and raise kids. What could be better?But something is happening to the children. Up until the age of two they develop normally. Their proud parents watch and smile as they take their first steps and speak their first words. But then everything seems to go backwards. The children become locked into their own small world, unable to communicate at all.They call it the “curse of Silicon Valley,” but the medi cal name for the condition is autism. It used to be thought that autism was a mental illness. Now doctors are sure that it is a disease transmitted genetically (遗传). It seems that the people leading the communications revolution are having children who cannot communicate at all.But even the parents have trouble communicating. Asperger’s Syndrome (综合症) is connected with autism.
