Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don't agree with them.Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources(资源), we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal(煤) or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.（1）From the passage we know that some students often ________ in the school.A . eat too muchB . don't work hardC . waste thingsD . throw rubbish everywhere（2）Which is not mentioned in this passage?A .

For example, she was interested in all kinds of sports, but she is not good at any of them. So she never knew how to answer questions like these.Mrs. Jones, her teacher, walked quietly through the room when the students worked on the project(课题). She stopped at Judy's desk to ask her if she needed some help.Judy looked up and said, "I am interested in so many things. I just don't know how to choose."Mrs. Jones smiled. She knew Judy was a smart girl but she couldn't focus on what she did."

It's true that we should thank our mothers, without mothers, nobody could come to the world. I always believe the rule, so it's hard for me to feel father's love.

I was sleepy and upset, so I began to shout at him. He wasn't angry at all. Instead he said in a low voice to me, "Dear, it's time for lunch. I have already got everything ready for you. "I looked at the watch. My god, it was nearly twelve o' clock at noon. It was Sunday that day. That was why I got up so late.I went downstairs slowly and lazily. When I got into the dining room, I saw a table of tasty food.I felt surprised because all the food was cooked by my father himself. He had never done any housework before, because he was always very busy. I was still puzzled (困惑) why Dad cooked so much food for us two that day . Suddenly, I heard the voice of happy birthday.

Do you know how ice-cream spread in the world?The earliest ice was eaten in China many years ago. People put fruit juice into ice. Later, this idea spread to Italy. Nero, the emperor of Rome between 54 AD and 68 AD, liked to eat ice between violin lessons. He ordered runners to run to the mountains, get snow and quickly run back to the palace. The snow was mixed with fruit juice and honey.Around 1660, coffee shops serving ice-cream were very popular in Paris. Most of the coffee shops were owned by Italians. The first successful one was opened by a man from Italy named Francesco Procopio.Ice-cream was brought to America in the early 1700s, and it quickly became the favorite of American presidents. George Washington had ice-cream machines in his kitchen. Dolly Madison, the wife of President Madison, was the first one to serve her guests ice-cream in the White House.Before ice-cream was sold in stores, it was made and frozen(冷冻) at home. It took lots of work to mix cream, eggs, fruit, ice and salt, and then to freeze it. Nancy Johnson, an American woman made the hand-turned ice-cream freezer in 1846. Five years later, Jacob Flusell opened the first ice-cream business in Baltimore, Maryland.

Now many students like to talk about the rules that they have in school.At their school, they 2 wear uniforms every day. The problem is that all the students think the uniforms are 3 . They think young people should look smart and so they would like to wear their own clothes. 4 , their teachers believe that if they did that, they would think more of their clothes than their study. But the students disagree. They would feel more comfortable and that is good for 5 . If they can’t do that, they 6 design their own uniforms. That would be a good way to 7 both teachers and students happy.It’s also probably a good idea for parents to allow teenagers to study in groups during the evening. Although they get 8 sometimes, they can learn a lot from each other. They also think that vacations should be longer. At present they’re too short. Lon ger vacations would give them time to do things like volunteering. On Friday afternoons, many students are sleepy after a long week of classes. They think it’s better to have Friday afternoons off to volunteer and help others. 9 , it is helpful for students to go to an old people’s home to sing and perform a play for them. It will help them understand the meaning of love. It’s also better to volunteer at the local hospital. It would be a good10 for them because some of them want to be doctors when they grow up.What do you think of your school rules?1. A. how’s B. what’s C. how’re D. what’re2.

Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don't act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, "I love you" is too luxurious for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine's Day is even more out of the question. Finally my father has a bad temper. When he's very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his temper.One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I silently sat down beside her and looked at her. "Mom, I have a question to ask you," I said after a while. "What?" she replied, still doing her work. "Is there love between you and Dad?" I asked her in a very low voice. My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. She didn't answer immediately. Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt.I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her. I was in a great embarrassment and I didn't know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:"Susan," she said thoughtfully, "Look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's really there. Love is inside."11. Why does Susan’s father have a bad temper?A. Because he doesn’t love the family.B. Because he doesn’t earn much money.C. Because he’s very tired from the hard work.D. Because he doesn’t act in the romantic ways.12. In Susan’s opinion, ______.A. her mother enjoys doing chores at home.B. her parents love each other very much.C. love means sending flowers on Valentine’s Day and saying “I love you”D. her parents love to make money.13.

Since 2018, more than 80 percent of the Forbidden City has been opened to the public and the number of tourists increased rapidly and reached to 1.7 million.In recent years, the Palace Museum has drawn more and more people's attention by its fresh new events. From new media tools to the creative cultural products, from grand activities to attractive TV shows, the Palace Museum has achieved amazing success. To keep pace with the times, the old palace is updating (更新) in many fashionable ways.Since 2014, to deliver the image of" A Warm Forbidden City" to the public, new media tools of the Palace Museum have changed a lot. Its Weibo keeps showing the palace's charm (魅力) by posting its beautiful photos of four seasons and lovely cats. From the coldness of history to the style of common touch, the image undoubtedly won more favors.Museum-themed products, such as tapes, fans, notebooks and lipsticks, are designed in fashionable ways. They often cause a buzz on Chinese social networks. The sales approached (接近) CNY 1.5 billion in 2017. "These creations provide a new view for understanding the palace and traditional culture," said a user on Weibo. The increased income, without raising the ticket price, also made it possible for the Palace Museum to hold 60,000 educational activities in 2018.The light festival is another idea. It was the first time the Palace Museum was lit up at night and opened to the public for the Lantern Festival. The light show, which provided audience with full sensory (感官的) experiences, has wowed the crowd. Therefore, people have a new choice to celebrate the Lantern Festival besides watching the Gala Show on TV at home.For those who have been to the museum before, a TV show about the Forbidden City evokes (唤起) their interests in visiting it again. As an audience said, "Shang Xin Le Gu Gong makes me realize that there are always unknown areas to explore in the Forbidden City." In another TV show, The Nation's Greatest Treasures, nine leading museums come together to introduce the treasures they look after. This has further raised people's interests in more museums. These TV shows have brought an instant culture heat and greatly increased the number of visitors in these museums.Nation stays alive when its culture stays alive. Through these ways, the Palace Museum and other museums not only carry forward their own history, but also call on people's love for traditional culture. After all, it is the memory and symbol of a county's history and the precious wealth of all mankind.（1）The Palace Museum has achieved success in recent years, because it has ___________.A . opened the whole area to the publicB . presented tradition in modern waysC . posted advertisements on televisionD . attracted more and more foreigners（2）From the passage, we can learn about the Palace Museum that ___________.A . its Weibo shows Chinese history in a serious wayB . it offers a new choice to enjoy the light show on TVC . its TV shows attract more people to pay a visit againD . it earns more by raising the price of products and tickets（3）What's the main purpose of the pasage?A .

But did you know that nature can glow (发光), too?Scientists have found many glowing living things. Most of them live in the ocean. Some use their lights to talk to each other. Others use them to hunt, to mate (交配) or to protect themselves. The vampire squid (幽灵蛸), for example, uses a cloud of light to scare enemies.Scientists around the world are looking at this kind of light for new ideas. In 2013, the US company Gleaux said it has created the world's first light-producing plant, the Daily Mail reported. It is a genetically-modified (转基因的) plant. It can glow like a firefly.Alexander Krichevsky, the company's founder (创始人), and other scientists hope that in the future, glowing plants could replace lamps and glowing trees could light up highways. Krichevsky also hopes the technology could be used in farming. Farmers could know when their crops need water or are ready to be picked if they glow.While Gleaux is working on glowing plants, the French company Glowee is trying to use glowing bacteria (细菌) to light up shop windows and street signs. It's the same type of bacteria that cause a type of squid to light up, New Scientist Online reported."Our goal is to change the way we produce and use light," said Glowee founder Sandra Rey. "We want to help reduce the 19 percent of electricity consumption (消耗量) that is used to produce light.（1）Which of the following is TRUE about glowing animals?A . They use electricity to light up the night sky.B . Some of them use their light to talk to each other.C . They only live in the deep ocean.D . They can collect light from nature.（2）According to Krichevsky, _____ in the future.A . the world's first light-producing plant will be createdB . glowing plants will be used as lampsC . crops will be able to talk to farmers by glowingD . electricity could light up shop windows（3）What's the purpose of Glowee's research on glowing bacteria?A . To compete with the US company Gleaux.B . To create the brightest light in the world.C . To change the way we produce and use light.D . To help produce more electricity in the future.（4）What is the best title of the passage?A . How to light up the skyB . Plants light our livesC . The reason for saving electricityD . The way to produce light2. （4分）阅读理解Long, long ago people made fires from lightening(闪电). But they had to keep the fire burning, for they couldn't start it again if there was no lightening. Later, they found out hitting two pieces of stones together could make a spark(火花). The spark could fire dry leaves. In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing (摩擦). They make a hole on a piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. Afte4r a few minutes they got a fire.Years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat from the sun. They held a piece of glass in the right way and make a piece of paper on fire.About two centuries ago, people began to make matches. Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fires.

Tomorrow is Garfield’s birthday. He first appeared in a comic strip on June 19, 1978. Garfield is well known all over the world. Lots of Garfield books have been turned into 26 languages. Garfield products are sold in 69 countries.
Jim Davis is Garfiel d’s creator. Jim was born on July 28, 1945 in Indiana. He grew up on a farm where his dad raised cows. Jim and his brother Dave helped with the farm work. They had 25 cats. Their room always made sure there was plenty of food for the cats.
As a boy, Jim was in poor health. When he had to spend time resting, he drew pictures. He added words to his pictures to make them funny.
After college Jim worked a few years at an advertising company. In 1969, he got a job to help a cartoonist. Jim noticed that there were many comic strips about dogs but few about cats. He thought that was strange since the world is full of cat lovers.
He remembered the 25 farm cats he grew up with. They gave him ideas for a cat comic strip. In the comic strip, Garfield became the central character in daily difficult experiences with Jon, his owner, and other characters. He is lazy, funny and hungry.
