Parking violations(违规) are also a common problem, followed by violation of traffic rules.“Once users scan the app and click 'accept' when they rent (租借) the bike, they have signed an agreement with the service provider and should follow the rules.” Liu said.OFO has introduced a blacklist stopping users who break its rules.Many cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen are preparing some laws to manage the market for public bikes.

It became harder for them to keep up the garden. So they made it a little smaller.Then one summer Grandpa died. It was a lonely winter for Grandma. It was hard for her to care for the garden alone. When spring came, she planted just a few vegetables and flowers.One day in the early summer, Grandma heard big noises in the yard. She looked out of the window and saw thousands of bees.What could she do? Should shehiresomeone to get rid of the bees? But that would cost more than she could afford. She decided to wait.Over the next few days, the bees were busy with their own business. Grandma decided the bees wouldn’t bother anyone, so she didn’t give them another thought.That sum mer, Grandma’s little garden grew and grew. The neighbors would stop to admire the big crop of vegetables and the lovely flowers.One day, Grandma’s brother visited. As Grandma made him delicious squash pan cakes (南瓜煎饼), she told him about the bees.Frank said, “Farmers often hire beekeepers to set up beehives (蜂窝).

Songs that get stuck in your head go round and round, sometimes for days, sometimes for months. For no clear reason you cannot help yourself from humming or singing a tune by Lady Gaga.To a psychologist, the most interesting thing about earworms is that they show a part of our mind that is clearly outside of our control. Earworms arrive without permission and refuse to leave when we tell them to. They are parasites（寄生虫）, living in a part of our minds.If you have got a earworm you can suffer an attack of it simply by someone mentioning the tune, without having to hear it. This proves that earworms are a part of long-term memory.Human have an “inner ear”, for remembering phone numbers, for instanc e.When it gets infected with earworms, rather than review our plans for the day, or lists of things to remember, the inner ear gets stuck on a few short bars of music or a couple of phrases from a song. A part of us that we normally do not have to think about, that should just do what we ask, has been turned against us, upsetting us with a request that we never asked for. The mind is an inner world which we do not have complete knowledge of, or have control over.Fortunately psychology can provide some advice on how to deal with an uncontrollable mind. Consider the famous “don’t think of a white bear” problem, which tell you to try not to think about white bears or to do something else, to avoid both thinking of the white bear and not thinking of the white bear. For earworms, the solution may be the same. Our inner ear has become infected with an earworm. This is a part not under our control, so just sending in instructions to “shut up” is unlikely to be of much help (and has been shown to make it worse). M uch better is to employ the inner ear in another task. If your mind is poisoned by Brittany Spears’ Toxic, for instance, then try singing Kylie Minogue’s Can’t Get You Out Of My Head. Let me know if it works!1．According to the passage, earworms are ______.A．songs that keep going round in our mindB．tunes by pop singers like Lady GagaC．parasites clearly under our controlD．worms that live in a part of our brain2．Which of the following statement is TRUE?A．Singing songs may get earworms out of your head.B．Earworms are used for keeping long-term memory.C．Humans do not have complete control over their mind.D．Y ou won’t suffer from earworms unless you hear the song.3．What does “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A．The instruction to shut up your mind.B．“Don’t think of the white bear” problem.C．Kylie Minogue’s Can’t Get You out Of My head.D．The relation between earworms and popular songs.4．What is the passage mainly about?A．The causes and influences of earworms.B．What earworms are and how to deal with them.C．How to clear earworms from your head.D．The relation between earworms and popular songs.Ⅴ.书面表达19、学校“推荐一本好书”读书活动月中，你想与同学们一起分享你最喜爱的一本书《汤姆索亚历险记》。

Among many things, relationships are the hardest to leave 2 . Some schools try to stop students’ puppy love in different ways. Anything about “love” relationship is not 3 . For example, a middle school in Fu’an, Fujian Province forbids(禁止) boys and girls to sit together for meals and forbids boys to look at girls for a long time;a middle school in Luohe, Henan Province sets 4 that boys and girls should meet in bright places with at least 5 other class mates, and 5 they meet in private they will be asked to go home with 6 for more than a week and even advised to leave school; a middle school in Jinan, Shandong Province 7 everyone to send food and gifts to or receive them from the opposite sex(异性). It also forbids students to help the opposite sex with bags and coats and requires a “44cm” distance between boys and girls. Some students are not 8 with such rules. “Why should we have strict places for different sexes to eat in? It’s not using bathrooms!” Some people 9 care about the i ntelligence development of the students say that they should be more creative with fewer rules. For this, I’d like to say that middle school students are going through puberty(青春期). It’s normal for them to have some feelings for the opposite sex. Schools s hould provide correct guidance and education instead of giving simple and cruel rules and asking the students to 10 .1．A．about B．to C．from2．A．for B．behind C．with3．A．forbidden B．stopped C．allowed4．A．rules B．rulers C．goals5．A．where B．what C．if6．A．students B．parents C．teachers7．A．forbids B．allows C．encourages8．A．serious B．careful C．satisfied9．A．which B．whom C．who10．A．follow B．get C．becomeⅢ. 语法填空12、One sunny afternoon Bernard Shaw was having a walk in the quiet field.

Mr Shaw looked at the puzzled rider and added, "If you killed me, you know, you would be famous all over the world."Ⅳ. 阅读理解A13、Have you ever felt a strong emotion (情绪), but not been able to find the right word to describe it? Maybe there is a word for it, but you just don’t know it yet. One man is trying to help fix this problem. University of East London psychology researcher Tim Lomas is making a list of words from different languages around the world. The words have no exact equivalent(对等的) words or phrases in the English language. Perhaps the most famous example is “schadenfreude”, the German word describing pleasure at the bad luck of others.Borrowing from as many languages as he could, Lomas searched for “untranslatable” experiences and published them in The Journal of Positive Psychology last year. His study is called the Positive Lexicography Project. Lomas has focused mostly on happy moments. He hopes that learning these words will enrich (使丰富) people’s lives. So now, thanks to the Portuguese(葡萄牙语), when you run your fingers through a loved one’s hair you can call it “cafune”. Or you can use the Spanish word “estrenar” to describe the feeling when you wear or use something for the first time. The Germans describe the good mood at the end of a working day as “feierabend”, while the Norwegians describe the feeling of sitting around a warm fireplace as “peiskos”.“The limits of our language are said to define the boundaries of our world,” Lomas wrote for The Conversation. “If we lack (缺乏) a word for a particular positive emotion, we are far less likely to experience it.”1．What is psychology researcher Tim Lomas working on?A．He is stud ying people’s strong emotions.B．He is improving the old English dictionaries.C．He is making a list of words to describe people’s emotions.D．He is trying to explain the differences between languages in the world.2．What does the underlined word “schadenfreude” in the first paragraph mean in Chinese?A．乐极生悲B．幸灾乐祸C．苦尽甘来D．火上浇油3．Which of the following is NOT true about Lomas’ study?A．He borrowed from many languages for his study.B．His studied “untranslatable” experiences.C．His study is called the Positive Lexicography Project.D．His study focused on sad moments in people’s daily life.4．The word “peiskos” describes the feeling _____.A．when you push your fingers through a loved one’s hairB．when you wear or use something for the first timeC．when a long working day comes to an endD．when you’re sitting around a warm fireplaceB14、In the most southern part of our planet, there’s a place that’s covered with snow and ice all year round. But it has the clearest and cleanest air. Amazingly, in this place, the sun sometimes hangs even in the midnight sky. This place is Antarctica (南极洲): the coldest, windiest and harshest (恶劣的) place on the Earth.As the world’s least-known place, Antarctica is of great interest to scientists around the world. In 1983, China joined the Antarctic Treaty (《南极条约》). The treaty made Antarctica a peaceful place for member countries to do scientific research. During 30 years, China has sent many scientists to Antarctica. They mostly look at the resources under the icy land and do research about climate change and marine (海洋的) biology.Antarctica is a place with fantastic views. However, life there is very hard. Food is one of the biggest problems. Frozen (速冻) food which can be heated easily is people’s daily food. Fresh vege tables are hard to grow in the cold weather. Therefore, scientists often eat dried or canned vegetables.Sleep is also troublesome. In Antarctica, summer lasts from November to March. During this period, Antarctica points to the sun and receives sunlight 24 hours a day. In order to get some sleep, scientists cover the windows with black plastic cloth to create “night”.Working in Antarctica is dangerous, especially when meeting gale-force (七级以上的) winds. Sometimes the wind is even stronger than a typhoon. It can easily blow people away. So there are ropes that connect buildings of some research stations. People can hold these ropes to keep their balance in forceful winds.What’s more, communicating with others is difficult. Without cables and Internet in some research stations, two-way radios are the only tools to communicate. If people want to say hello to friends and relatives, they can use satellite phones.Although it is challenging to work in Antarctica, scientists’passionto learn about this mysterious land will never end. It is hopeful that one day they will step every corner of this icy land.1．From Paragraph 1, we learn that the Antarctica ______.A．is covered with snow and iceB．rains heavily from time to timeC．has little wind most of the timeD．has sunshine during every night2．Scientists from China go to Antarctica to _____.A．find out ways to control water pollutionB．research climate change and marine biologyC．grow plants and vegetables in special conditionD．stop the hunters from killing the marine biology3．In order to sleep well in Antarctica, the scientists have to _____.A．wear more clothes to keep warmB．cover the windows with black clothC．connect research stations with ropesD．eat more fried and canned vegetables4．We can replace (替换) the underlined wordpassionin the last paragraph with .A．strong loveB．full preparationC．pleasant introductionD．amazing imagination5．The passage is mainly about .A．view of the AntarcticaB．exploring the AntarcticaC．how to survive in the AntarcticaD．climate changes of the AntarcticaC15、What does success mean? Is it becoming famous, ric h, coming up with an idea that changes people’s lives, or helping others and feeling happy?For example, there are many people who have a billion dollars. Are they successful? Why don’t they stop trying to make more because there will never be enough. They will never be happy enough.If all that you’re working for is money, you’ll do terrible things to get it. If all that you want is a successful business, you’ll cheat people to get it. If all that you wa nt is fame(名声), you’ll give up your dignity to achieve it.What’s the real success? For me, being rich or famous is not all to life. I might have a lot of readers now on Zen Habits, but I don't feel that’s what makes me a success. I’ve been a success even when I had no readers, because I was doing what I loved. Even when no one else would have called me a successful man, I loved writing, and I was happy. Success isn’t about achieving something in the future, but about doing something right now that you lov e.So forget about success, and just find joy and love right now, in this moment. That is a success you can achieve, without any method. Just go out and do it.1．Some people don’t stop making money because _____A．They want to change their lives.B．Making money can make them very happy.C．Money will never be enough for them.D．They want to become the richest men in the world.2．The writer felt happy when ____________.A．he had a lot of readers B．he made lots of moneyC．he began to write D．he gave up his job3．Which of the following is RIGHT?A．people who have a billion dollars must be very happy.B．Readers can read the writer’s articles on Zen Habits.C．Success is very important to the writer.D．The writer thinks if people want to own success, they should try many ways.4．What does the writer advise us to do?A．Find joy and love right now.B．Keep success in mind and try to get itC．Read the writer’s articles o n Zen Habits.D．Work hard to be rich or famous.5．This passage talks about_____________.A．being rich of famous B．starting a businessC．how to achieve success D．what real success isD16、We can express thoughts and feelings and send sounds and pictures on our smart phones today. We also communicate by using programs like Skype and Face Time. We can't send tastes, smells or touch, of course. But scientists in Britain are trying to develop a way for smart phones to do just that.Adrian David Cheok is a professor at City University in London. He wants people to experience communication using all of their senses. He said "In the real world, we can open up the glass, open the window. We can touch, we can taste, we can smell in the real world."To give users a sense of taste, researchers designed two electrodes (电极）that are placed on the tongue. A chemicalprocess creates different tastes through molecules (微粒)on the surface of the tongue. This chemical process sends electrical signals that convince the brain that a person is tasting something. They have already created sour, salty, sweet and bitter tastes."You put these two silver electrodes in your mouth, you put your tongue in between and then it stimulates electrically your tongue and you get a virtual taste perception in your brain."A device(设备）called "Scentee" permits users to have the sense of smell. Scentee plugs into a smart phone and can spray tiny clouds of fragrances, including flowers, fruits and coffee. Professor Cheok says the person speaking can activate the device.Scentee holds a container with about 100 different smells.

Will it become boring?Twenty-eight eighth-graders at St. Matthew School in San Francisco will tell you it can still be rich and colorful.These students took part in their school’s “tech-free” challenge. They couldn’t use cell phones for two weeks from Nov 11 to Nov 22.The idea was to help students understand how technology has affected their lives, said Denise Uhl, principal of the school.Uhl did a survey on technology usage among the eighth-graders before thinking of the challenge. She found that 84 percent of the students said they didn’t like it “when everyone was on their cell phones”, but they didn’t know what to do about it. The answer was actually easy --- to stop constantly using cell phones.To help students understand the point, Uhl created the activity. It was warmly welcomed among students.“I wanted to sign up for the tech-free challenge because it was just really a good idea to do it,” eighth-grader Joe told local newspaper Catholic San Francisco. “I wanted to get closer to my family. And it really worked. I started to hang out with my family more. We watched more family movies and we played a lot of board games.”The activity also helped students develop their interests.During the two weeks, Lucas said he spent much more time outside, picking lemons in his garden.

The clay figures (泥塑) and paintings on the wall are the Mogao Grotto’s greatest treasures. There are more than 2,000 colored clay figures in 492 caves.

Some show people farming, eating and fighting. Others show their wedding and funeral customs. In 1987 the Mogao Caves became a UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) Site.Now it attracts visitors from all over the world. Visitors have to buy tickets online.

They are looking for nuts and seeds，digging holes in the ground or finding holes in trees. That’s where they store the food they will need during the coming months, when the weather is cold and sometimes snowy.Squirrels spend a lot of time in trees, which are like restaurants for them. Among their favorite things to eat are nuts and other parts of trees，like tender buds(花苞).Squirrels may also eat com, insects and other animals. And, as anyone who has a bird knows, squirrels love bird food!Squirrels stay active all winter, so they need plenty of food to help keep up their energy. Squirrels tend to bury food underground, piece by piece. Some squirrels may gather food into piles that they put at the base of trees or bury underground.When they need food, squirrels use their memory and smell to help them find what they buried. Sometimes，you’ll even see them digging through the snow.Squirrels make nests in trees. Some squirrels spend much of the winter in underground tunnels(地道)where it is warmer.When spring comes, squirrels change their eating habits to new plant growth, like buds and leaves. Sometimes they forget to dig up all their buried nuts.That’s why you’ll sometimes find a little tree growing in a place where neither you nor your family planted it. It must have been the squirrels.1．To get ready for winter, squirrels do all of the following EXCEPT .A．store leaves to keep warm B．look for nuts and seedsC．find holes in trees D．dig holes in the ground2．Why do squirrels spend a lot of time in trees?A．Because they can keep warm in trees.

Although Marco Polo was young, he was very clever and could speak some foreign languages. The Emperor was impressed by him. He asked Marco Polo to serve in his court (宫廷) and sent him to do many important tasks across the country.Marco Polo was amazed by the beautiful China. He was impressed by Beijing and the Emperor’s Palace, especially the Summ er Palace which he described as “The greatest palace that ever was...” The walls were covered with gold and silver and the hall was so large that it could easily seat 6,000 people for dinner.There were inventions and developments in China which were not used in Europe at that time. He was puzzled (困惑的) by the black stones people used to burn to produce heat. The black stones were coal, but Marco Polo had never seen coal before!In 1295, after 17 years of service to the Emperor, Marco Polo returned to Italy. He was then a very wealthy man.
