A responsible government will strictly protect the environment from being polluted,”said a microblogger.Isn’t it time for us to have a better thinking about our living environment?Do we want to kill ourselves by serious pollution?

But designer Belyaev doesn't think thatforgetting to check the weatherforecastbefore going out should cause you to get wet. That's why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post(柱)with its own rain-sensing(感应)umbrella.The designer says he came up with the idea after watching pe ople get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be fit to have a canopy(伞篷) built into a street lamp,” he said.The Lampbrella is a post-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric machine which can open or close the umbrella. Sensors(传感器) then make sure that the umbrella offers walkers shelter(遮蔽)whenever it starts raining.Besides the rain sensor, there's also a 360° moving sensor on the street lamp which finds whether anyone is using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a rather low speed, in order not to hurt the walkers. Besides, it would be fixed on the ground to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being fixed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of walkers.While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and believes that his creation could be fixed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.1.. What does the underlined word “forecast” mean in Chinese?A.预报B.情况C.查询2.. For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?A.To remind people to take an umbrella.B.To check the weather forecast.C.To protect people from the rain.3.Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works?machine sensorsA.B.C.4.. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.His creation was inspired by an experience from Belyaev's words in Paragraph 2.B.Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella’s safety.C.The Lampbrella will be put into immediate production.5.The best title for this passage should be _____.A.THE USE OF THE LAMPBRELLAB.HOW TO PREVENT RAINC.THE NEW INVENTION-LAMPBRELLAC15、Easter is still a great day for worship(敬拜), candy in baskets and running around the yard finding eggs, but every year it gets quite a bit worse for rabbits.And no, not because the kids like to pull their ears. The point is because of weather change, and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five kinds of rabbits in the US.Take the Lower Keys Marsh rabbit as an example. It lives on the islands, but it is seriously affected(影响)now by rising sea levels. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, an ocean level rise of 0.9-meter would destroy their living place completely.The snowshoe hare, on the other hand, has a color problem. Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer, which gives them better cover from predators (捕食者) . As the number of days with snow becoming less, more and more rabbits are being left in white fur during the days of both fall and spring, making them an easier mark for predators.American pikas or rock rabbits might be the first of these species to go die out because of the weather change. Pikas live high in the cool, damp mountains. As global temperatures rise, they would naturally move to higher ground – but they already live on the mountaintops. They can’t go any higher. The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their living place heats up.The volcano rabbit has the same problem. Recent studies have shown that their lower living place has already moved upward about 700 meters, but there are not right plants for them to move higher, so they have to stay in the middle. Native to the US, pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West. They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world. Their living places have been destroyed by development. They also live on winter cover, but lesser snowfall is leaving them unprotected.All of these give new meaning to dressing up in a huge rabbit costume(服装)this Easter.1.Why does the writer mention Easter at the beginning of the passage?A.To raise the problem about rabbits.B.To remind people of Easter traditions.C.To show the importance of Easter Day.D.To discuss the relationship between Easter and rabbits.2.Why can some rabbits be easily discovered by predators now?A.Because they have moved to the places with fewer plants.B.Because they can hardly live on color cover as before.C.Because they can’t change their color into white.D.Because they are left to more skillful hunters.3.What is the problem faced by rock rabbits and volcano rabbits?A.They are both affected by less snow.B.Neither of them can find enough food.C.Neither of them can move to higher place.D.They are both affected by rising sea levels.4.What can you infer from the passage?A.Predators are more skillful than before.B.The weather is getting much hotter now.C.There will be no rabbit costume for Easter soon.D.People should care more about the rabbit problem.D16、Edith Cavell was born in a little English village. She was a clever, hard-working girl and did well at school, especially in music and French. After she left school, her first job was to take care of the children of a rich family in Belgium. The language they spoke was French, so she found that her school studies were useful. She could understand them easily, at the same time she taught the children to speak English and play the piano.After hearing that her father was seriously ill, Edith returned home to look after him.

Between November 1914 and August 1915 she secretly helped about 200 wounded soldiers and prisoners escape from the Germans. Later the German army found out what Edith had done and they arrested her.

He couldn’t go out to work again.From then on,his father became another person. He often lost his temper and beat him.One night, the boy was walking slowly lonely on the street. He passed a lovely small shop, He looked at some nice packages(包) of coffee quietly for a long time. An idea came into his mind .He knew his father loved coffee and he knew stealing was no good.But all he could think of was his father’s smile.He soon put a package of coff ee into his jacket and ran back home.He gave the coffee to his father,who gave a smile that the boy had missed for solong.But,unfortunately,before his father could taste the coffee,the shopkeeper broke in and caught the boy. His father beat him again.Years later, he became a successful businessman. One day, his mother called and said his father wanted to see him. Busy working, he refused.

But I also have a dream—to own a coffee shop, where I can make cups of coffee for you. I’m sorry I didn’t make it.”Sadness suddenly occupied him. He regretted not meeting his father for the last time, and decided to complete his father’s dream. After quitting his own job, he started a coffee business.The coffee business is now a huge success.

Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of everyday life. It is thou ght that we won’t have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be made by computers, too. Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating. Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways.Let’s look at books, for example. Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep manydifferent books in them at the same time. We won’t need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized(计算机化) books will be used more and more.Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go in to shops and look at things you want to buy. It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers. Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly. Maybe computers won’t change these two habits.1.In paragraph1 it is thought people will use computers for _______.A.playing games, shopping and making telephone callsB.making telephone calls, having meals and seeing filmsC.seeing films, buying food, and going for holidaysD.playing games, making telephone calls and seeing the doctor2.Paragraph 4 tells _______.A.about the old and new ways of shopping and communicat ingB.if the Internet will change our habitsC.about computerized booksD.about future uses of computers3.The title for this passage is _______.A.Computers will Replace Shops and Books.B.Computers will be Used in the Future.C.Computers will Do Everything for Man.D.How Computers Change Our Habits4.According to the writer’s view, which is right?A.Computers will replace everything completely in our daily life in the future.B.Computers will not be used at all in our daily life in the future.C.Computers will not be used in shopping in the future.D.Computers will bring more and wider usage in our daily life in the future.Ⅴ.书面表达19、书面表达假如你叫李明,班主任陈老师想了解班级同学的状况,以便有针对性地对学生进行考前心理疏导。

As a boy, he was told he was hopeless at science and was at bottom of his class. Now, aged 79,the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell (干细胞) researcher Shinya Yamanaka.Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance(坚持) can lead.When he was 15 in 1948,Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject. Gurdon’s high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was “quite ridiculous”.In spite of his teacher’s criticisms(批评), Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab early and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures.“My own belief is that we will, in the end,understand everything about how cells actually work,”Gurdon said.In 1962, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic (基因的) information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create the sheep Dolly in 1996,the first cloned mammal(哺乳动物) in the world.In 2006,Gurdon’s work was developed by Y amanaka to show that a sample(样本) of a person’s skin can be used to create stem cells. Using this technique, doctors can repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack.“Luck favors the prepared mind,” Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. “Ninety percent of the time things don’t work, but when they do, you have to seize(抓住) the chance.”1.Who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine?A.Sir John GurdonB.Shinya YamanakaC.Sir John Gurdon and Shinya YamanakaD.Gurdon’s science teacher2.What does the underl ined word “ridiculous” mean?A.荒谬的B.无畏的C.荒废的D.无知的3.In what order are the following events mentioned in the passage.a. create the sheep Dollyb. take a cell from an adult frogc. use a person’s skin to create stem cellsd. move a frog’s geneti c information into an egg celle. grow into a clone of the adult frogA.b-a-c-d-e B.b-d-e-a-c C.b-d-a-e-c D.b-c-d-a-e4.According to the passage, which statement is TRUE?A.Sheep Dolly was the first cloned animal in the world.B.Gurdon ranked first at his high school in biology.C.It’s impossible for the doctors to repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack.D.According to the science teacher, Gurdon was not a gifted student.5.What’s the main idea of the passage?A.Ninety percent of the time th ings don’t work.B.Luck favors the prepared mind.C.Life is full of pleasure.D.How to know cells actually work.B14、New Technology Revolutionizes(变革) LearningMore and more people believe that technologies are great for learning. Today, such teaching tools as iPads are used in a lot of courses, including language, history and science.Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom.Instead of spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos, students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn_________. Some students might listen to a dialogue only once and understand it, so they can save time for doing other things. Other students, however, might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it. Using iPads is especially helpful to students who are learning a language at different paces.The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn (such as listening to stories and watching movies). The class has become much more interesting and creative.There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they can pay more attention to the material and learn more. Teaching notes are stored in their iPads and are easy to find .Some students spend more time studying now.“I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait until I get home,” a student explained.Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads are doing harm to students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other. If a student spends more time watching videos on an iPad, he will have fewer opportunities to have face-to-face communication with others.However, technologies are already a part of most students’ day-to-day lives. As for cheating, teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make changes with the times as technology is playing an important part. We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.1.What does the expression“at their own pace” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.According to their own timetable.B.Without their teachers’ help.C.Because of their wonderful goals.D.Against their parents’ hope.2.From the passage we can learn that____.A.students with iPads have less discussion in classB.students get more fun from learning with iPadsC.iPads help students save time waiting for busesD.iPads prevent students from cheating in exams3.The writer probably agrees that____.A.teachers can take control of students’ learningB.exam results depend a lot on now technologyC.technology in education has a bright futureD.note-taking is as helpful as video-watchingC15、China’s Top Three Express Delivery Companies(快递公司)Company name S.F.
