D．An old woman with her daughter.According to a recent research, more than 130 billion pounds of uneaten food goes to waste in Laura’s country each year. That is about 30% of the yearly food supply. It is a sad fact, especially when you consider how many families and homeless people are in hunger.Every day when Laura saw her school dining hall throw away food that was not eaten at all, she came up with an idea. She started a project to help her school dining hall to donate uneaten food to homeless shelters in her community. In the past three years, projects of the same kind have spread to other schools and even out-school areas—some of the fast food restaurants throughout the city. The project is called Find & Feed. It has already fed thousands of people in her city.How does it work? Through an app, Find & Feed matches local homeless shelters with school dining halls and restaurants, that have uneaten food to provide. When dining halls or restaurants have uneaten food left, they can use the app to share the information about the food. A truck driver working for the project then picks it up and takes it to a shelter nearby. Pretty cool, right?It’s not surprising that people in other cities have contacted Laura, hoping that she could have developed similar projects for their communities.Some people, however, have worries about the safety of the uneaten food. They think such food may not be clean enough. Still, this project is a clever way to help solve the problem of food waste and it helps those in need.19．The data in Paragraph 1 show us _________.A．people are poor B．food waste is seriousC．the population is large D．the research is interesting20．At first, Laura’s project got food from _________.A．her school dining hall B．her familyC．a fast food restaurant D．homeless shelter21．Which of the following sentences is TRUE?A．Laura has visited many communities in her city.B．The local homeless shelters pick the food up by themselves.C．The truck driver uses an app to share the food information.D．People in other cities are interested in Laura’s project.22．Which can be the best title for this passage?A．A Dining Guide App B．A Food Sharing ProjectC．A Driving Service APP D．A Food Safety Project三、多任务混合阅读One night, the boss of a big company needed to call one of his workers. Because there was a serious problem with their main computer system. And the worker was the only person who could solve it.He dialed the worker’s home phone number and was greeted with a little girl’s whisper. “Hello?” the boss asked, “Is your daddy at home?” “Yes,” whispered a small voice. “May I talk with him?” the man asked. To the surprise of the boss. the small voice whispered, “No.”Wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, “Is your mommy there?” “Yes,” came the answer. “May I talk with her?” Again, the small voice whispered, “No.”Knowing that it was impossible that a young child would be left home alone, the boss decided he would just leave a message to the person who should be there watching over the child. “Is there anyone besides you?” the boss asked the child. “Yes,” whispered the child, “A policeman.”Wondering what a policeman would be doing at his worker’s house, the boss asked,“May I speak with the policeman?”“No, he’s busy!” whispered the child. “Busy doing what?” asked the boss. “Talking to daddy and mommy and the fireman.” came the whispered answer.Growing more and more worried as he heard something like a helicopter through the phone, the boss asked, “What is the noise?” “A helicopter,” answered the whispered voice. “What is going on there?” asked the boss, now alarmed.In a serious whispering voice, the child answered, “The search team has just landed the helicopter.” Shocked, worried and more than just a little disappointed, the boss asked, “Why are they there?” Still whispering, the you ng voice replied along with an unclear giggling, “They are looking for me.”23．Why did the boss call the worker?A．A main computer had broken down.B．He wanted to join in the game.C．He wanted to talk to the child.D．He always cared about his workers.24．W hat does the underlined word “alarmed” (in Paragraph 7) mean?A．surprised B．interested C．warm-hearted D．afraid 25．According to the passage, what was happening in fact?A．The boss was offering help.

Those satellites can be able to help scientists keep a closer eye on heavy storms, and they develop a task called TROPICS to send the satellites to space. Importantly, the satellites will help us make a big difference in watching coming heavy storms.At the moment, NASA’s weather satellites can only check in on a storm every four to six hours. “So we’re missing a lot of what’s happening in the storm,” Bill Blackwell, at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory, said. However, the new set of six satellites will allow researchers to check in on a storm about every hour.After sending the satellites, scientists will put them in a perfect place to watch the areas where most storms are born, from the center of America to the south of Australia. Each satellite is just under 0. 3 meters long with a powerful machine that’s about as big as a cup of coffee. The small machine can measure heat and light produced from O₂ and H₂O in the air, then the data will be sent to the Earth.It will bring many advantages. First, the data measured by the TROPICS satellites will help researchers study better how a storm grows. They can even build a 3 D model of a storm developing with the help of satellites. Also, scientists will know when the storm will come and get people to safety as soon as possible. Just like last year, hundreds of people died because of Storm Ida coming overnight. It won’t happen anymore.That makes it all more import ant to have more eyes over the sky. “The TROPICS team is super excited to send these satellites and get them running,” Bill Blackwell said in NASA statement.19. The new satellites can ________.A．watch the coming stormsB．reach space in a short timeC．check in on a storm every minuteD．find a perfect place for themselves20. These new satellites work by ________.A．producing O₂ and H₂O in the airB．collecting different kinds of stormsC．measuring the heat and light of the airD．making a 3 D model of a storm growing21. The writer mentioned Storm Ida in Paragraph 4 to show ________.A．storms will not come any moreB．the new six satellites are importantC．it’s hard to stay away from the stormD．scientists do much research on satellites22. What’s the best title of the passage?A．The Coming Great Future LifeB．TROPICS—A Wonderful TaskC．Little Satellites, Big DifferenceD．Say Goodbye to Dangerous StormsMarty was new at school. Usually, when you’re the new kid, you lay low, he made a toothpick disappear. One second he was holding the toothpick, and the next second it was gone! Everyone was asking him how he did it.“It’s magic!” Marty said proudly. “At my old school, they actually called me Magic Marty.”“Seriously?” I thought, turning to walk away. “It’s not magic. He’s telling lies to everyone, and I’m going to find out how he does it!”That night at home, I found a box of toothpicks, trying to find out how Marty had made one disappear. But the only thing I learned was how to poke my hand 11 times with a toothpick. I put all the toothpicks into the box and went to bed.The next day, Marty was going on about how he could make things float. He had a ring in one hand and a pencil in the other. I watched from the back, hoping to catch a mistake.That was when I saw a thin piece of fishing line tied around the end of the pencil and attached to a button on Marty’s shirt! Sure enough, he made the ring “float” by sliding it over the pencil and hanging it from the line. No one else noticed, and soon it was lunchtime. Everyone rushed to the dining hall. When the crowds were gone.“I know how you did it,” I said, folding my arms. “It was a fishing line.” Marty went silent. He looked nervous, are you going to tell people?”He asked. I thought about it for a moment. If I told, I’d finally be able to show that Marty’s magic was fake. But then Marty mi ght lose his new friends. How would that make him feel?“Nah,” I finally said. “I won’t say anything.”Marty let out a relaxing sigh, and I turned to walk away.“Wait!” Marty jumped in front of me. “You’ve got a pretty good eye for magic. If you’re in terested, we can do it together.”We’ve been a magic team for three months now. It turns out that Marty is not a fake magician, but a real friend.23.

When the coach started pitching, hitting became 1 for me. I missed every single pitch. From the side, I heard my teammate Emily laughing at me. My face got hot and my throat felt like it had a softball stuck in. At that moment, I was starting to 2 playing softball.The next afternoon, when Mum said it was time to play the game, I told her I was 3 . She allowed me to lie down for a while. So I went to my room and 4 myself in bed. This was difficult for me because I was fine.Soon Mum came in and said, "Time to go!" She didn't even ask if I felt 5 . I imagined Emily laughing from the sideline, and 6 I really did feel sick to my stomach. I began crying loudly. Still, Mum pulled my team T-shirt over my head. She said, "You have to play for the rest of the season, and only after that we can talk about 7 you′ll continue next year." She added that practice was what I needed, not giving up. She promised to practice with me.I got two hits that afternoon, and Emily didn't make a 8 .

But sleeping can also be dangerous because other animals may hurt those who are sleeping. This leads to many different ways of sleeping that help them stay safe. Some of these ways may surprise you!Almost all bats sleep upside down. They hang from a branch of a t ree or the ceiling of a cave. Up high, bats are safe from most other animals. If they are in danger, they just fly away.A dolphin sleeps with just half its brain at a time. It must stay awake to breathe and to watch for danger. Dolphin mothers and babies can go without sleep for as long as two months to stay safe.Some ducks sleep with just half their brains, too. These ducks often sleep in a line. The ducks at both ends help to keep the group safe. They keep one eye open to watch for danger. The ducksin the middle sleep deeply with both eyes closed.Seals breathe air, but that doesn’t stop some of them from sleeping underwater. They hold their breath and dive deep to sleep for up to twenty minutes at a time. Sleeping deep underwater helps these seals stay safe from animals that hunt them near the surface.Horses often sleep standing up. Their legs lock in place so they don’t fall over. If a horse is lying down, it needs a long time to get up. A horse can run from danger more quickly if it is already standing.A flamingo can sleep while standing on one leg. The standing leg locks so it stays straight. The other leg remains close to the flamingo’s body. Its head rests on its back. A flamingo lives (and sleeps) near many other birds to stay safe.Some seabirds can sleep while they fly. These large birds spend most of their lives over the ocean. They are in danger on the water, but they are safe in the air. They fly for many hours without flapping（拍打）their wings. Sometimes they sleep while they are flying.Would you like to sleep how they sleep?1. The animals that sleep with half their brains are _______.A. ducks and sealsB. dolphins and ducksC. bats and dolphinsD. flamingos and seabirds2. Horses often stand up when they sleep because _______.A. they can run from danger quicklyB. they are afraid of falling overC. this helps them to sleep deeplyD. it takes them a long time to go to sleep3. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. How animals sleepB. Sleep to stay healthyC. Sleep as animals doD. What sleeping animals are likeBLizzie's diary from Antarctica(南极洲)Day 3:Tuesday December 2We planned to go to Rothera that morning. We'd be staying there for the next two weeks. Because Antarctica is the windiest place on earth，sometimes you can't fly at all.We had a nervous wait over breakfast to find out if we'd be leaving that day. People have to stay in Stanley for weeks while the pilots wait for good weather.It turned clear at 9:30 and we took off at 10:30 on a little red plane called a Dash-7. But even when we were in the air，there was still a chance we wouldn't be able to fly the whole day.Day 4:Wednesday December 3After waking up in the Antarctic for the first time today I can understand why everybody who comes here falls in love with the place. It is really beautiful.We're staying at Rothera Survey base with mountains of ice all around. It's about minus 2℃today, which for me is very cold, but the regulars(常客)here are often seen walking around in T-shirts!Day 5:Thursday December 4I woke up to another beautiful sunny day here in the Antarctic. I'm told it's a bit colder today，about minus 5℃，but it's not very windy so it feels warmer. Those of us who are new to the base have to do a special training course before we're allowed to go off base to other stations or to go snowboarding over the nearby hill.Day 7:Saturday December 6Not a cloud in the sky and it's warm enough to sit outside(in a jacket).The most amazing thing about this place is how the scenery(风景)changes every day. At first I thought I was going mad. I'd step outside in the morning and think，"I'm sure that big mountain of ice wasn't there yesterday." It's because the sea ice is always moving一slowly thankfully!4. Lizzie sat outside wearing a jacket on .A. TuesdayB. WednesdayC. ThursdayD. Saturday5. What could stop Lizzie from leaving Stanley for Rothera?A. Strong winds.B. Thick clouds.C. Mountains of ice.D. Low temperatures.6. How did Lizzie feel during her stay in the Antarctic?A. Afraid.B. Nervous.C. Amazed.D. Bored.7. What impressed Lizzie most about Rothera was that .A. people walked around in T-shirtsB. there was a special training courseC. the weather was sometimes warmD. the scenery changed every dayCNowadays more and more children seem to get lost in a "sea of digital(数字) technology". As they use digital technology too much, they are losing their ability to do simple things. They can't make toys themselves with hands or help Mum cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with others."I have talked with a number of teachers. They care about the increasing numbers of young pupils who can play with computers or smart phones, but have few or no skills to make things." said a teacher, Colin Kinney. "Many pupils can't communicate with other pupils but their parents talk proudly of their ability to use a computer or a smart phone."Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and quietly play on a tablet (平板电脑)on weekends and fter scriool. How can a child grow up to be a very good artist if he doesn't learn how to use a paintbrush and develop his painting skill? How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older if he doesn't learn to communicate with others at a young age?Digital technology can be used for good or bad. We can use a stone to either break a window or build a house. We shouldn′t blame the children. We should help them make right choices. It is certainly necessary for children to know how to use digital technology in today's world, but whatis more important, we should encourage them to develop social abilities which will do them good when they grow up.8. What's the worst problem that is mentioned in the first paragraph?A. Children can't make things themselves.B. Children make too many friends online.C. Children don't want to communicate with others.D. Children don't like helping Mum cook meals at home.9. According to Colin Kinney, which of the following is TRUE?A. Teachers don't notice that young pupils have few skills to make things.B. Many parents are very happy that their kids can use digital technology.C. Many teachers don't care if young pupils can play computers or tablets.D. Some parents are worried that their kids use digital technology too much.10. What do many young children choose to do on weekends and after school?A. To play on a tablet indoors.B. To paint with their paintbrushes.C. To play with other children.D. To make friends with other children.11. What does the underlined word "blame" mean in Chinese?A.表扬B.原谅C.评价D.责怪12. What does the writer mainly want to tell us?A. It's very important for children to have social skills.B. It's very helpful for children to do some housework.C. It's necessary for parents to learn to use digital technology.D. It's difficult for teachers to make right choices for their pupils.四、词汇检测(10分)1. His last public concert will be on in Shanghai in a (几个)of months.2. He has much (经验)as an engineer.3.
