"Probably the gold coin I got for graduation."Fighting off the urge to turn around,I thought about the question.When it comes to material objects,for me it was a high school graduation present."Congratulations," my grandfather said.I tore open the paper. "Wow," I said. "A shovel.""It's a spade（铁锹），" he said,gently but firmly.From that moment on I've known there was a difference.My grandfather said, "Stay close to the land.Don't be afraid to dig in and get a little dirt on you.""Oh,I won't," I said.I laughed at how it sounded.That fall,I went off to college,and that shiny new green-handled spade hung untouched on the wall in my parents' garage.A few years later,I got an office job and married.Eventually my wife and I moved into our own house,and that graduation spade made its way into my own garage.Iglad to have it.Glad I didn't have to buy one.The years rolled by.I still dig hard into the earth,more often than ever.It's a reminder of my family,one proudly rooted in agriculture.It is a useful tool with a memorable message about staying close to the earth.Priceless.A few months from now my daughter will finish graduate school.I have something valuable to give her.It'll be wrapped,of course,and if she opens it and says, "Wow.A shovel."4.Why does the author mention the "gold coin" story at the very beginning？______A.

A Gift that Kept me Grounded.CJust as it does on Earth,it snows on Mars.However,scientists have found that Martian snow is "dustier" than it is on Earth,which could mean it's warmer and more likely to melt into water,a new study suggests."There is a chance that this dusty and dark ice might melt a few centimeters down," said the study's lead author,Aditya Khuller,in a statement.In June,a separate study suggested that there may be more water on Mars than previously thought.The scientists believe that the ice that was dug up by the Phoenix lander in 2008 occurred from"It is widely believed that Mars has experienced many ice ages throughout its history,and it looks like the ice being exposed throughout the mid-latitudes of Mars is the remains of this ancient dusty snowfall," Khuller added.If researchers are able to better learn about the potentials of water on Mars,then they may be able to better learn about its prospects for once hosting life."Describing these features can significantly improve the ice stability（稳定）on Mars and inform us about its age and origin," the researchers wrote in the study.The researchers say that more work is required to determine if the ice actually melts into water. Khuller added,"We are working on developing improved computer imitations of Martian ice to study how it evolves over time,and whether it might melt to form liquid water.The results from this study will be necessary to our work because knowing how dark the ice is directly influences how warm it gets."It has been somewhat integral to find,although scientists confirmed in 2018 that Mars still has lakes filled with liquid water.8.Why does the ice on Mars melt more easily than that on Earth？______A. It's warmer on Mars.B. Mars' ice is dustier and darker.C. The temperature is not stable on Mars.D. Mars' ice is exposed to the sun for long.9.What might be the purpose for scientists' study on Mars' snow？______A. To help reduce ice's melting.B. To research the amount of water.C. To speed up its turning into water.D. To better learn the prospects of water.10.Which of the following is True according to the passage？______A. It's impossible to learn the origin of Mars' ice.B. It's easy to find lakes with liquid water on Mars.C. Scientists are trying to improve ice stability on Mars.D. The Phoenix lander was the first explorer to land on Mars.11.What does the underlined word "integral" in the last paragraph mean？______A. Impossible.B. Difficult.C. Unbelievable.D. Interesting.As Wilson Guarin watched the helicopter flying above,he wondered if the men being lifted into the sky felt the risk had been worth it.Moments earlier,Guarin and his children had hiked to Hermit Falls in Angeles National Forest,one of the most popular waterfalls in the Los Angeles area.Soon after they arrived,they saw a man injure his shoulder when he jumped into the rock pool at the base of Hermit Falls.Less than a minute later,another man jumped and appeared to break both his legs.Guarin said the cliff jumpers' purposes were obvious.They wanted to get a video of themselves and post it to social media.A thirst among hikers,often inexperienced and under-prepared,to collect "likes" and shares on Instagram and other social media sites has led to a sharp increase in rescue missions by first responders.The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Search and Rescue teams conducted 681 missions in 2017，the largest number in five years.It's a 38% increase from the 491 rescues they did in 2013.The teams' leaders say the single largest factor for that increase is people posting videos of extreme activities online.Then,without any thought about the difficulty,others try to recreate their own 15-second version of glory.On Instagram,posts from visitors making adventures in waterfalls and swimming holes in Angeles National Forest and other recreation areas show hikers changed into models,striking seemingly the same poses in the same places.We shouldn't prevent people from enjoying the outdoors.But many accidents are avoidable and happen either when people go off trail or ignore official warnings about an area being closed and visit anyway.Guarin still thinks about the two men he watched in helicopter rides sent to a hospital. "You get concerned about what people are willing to do-to not have fun.It's risking everything for no reason.Well,there are the "likes".12.What happened to the two jumpers？______A. They both got badly injured.B. They were trapped in a rock pool.C. They were caught in an air crash.13.What do the figures imply in paragraph 4？______A. More social rescues are timely and effective.B. More attention is paid from the social media.C. More public resources are clearly being occupied.D. More people raise the awareness of self-defense.14.What is the main reason for the increase in the number of rescues？______A. Hikers are inexperienced and under-prepared.B. Helicopters are easily available in more areas.C. Travelers go off trail or ignore official warnings.D. More people share their extreme activities online.15.What does Guarin think of the jumpers' action？______A. It is not a wise thing to do.B. It is their own version of glory.C. Watching it online is a lot of fun.D. Getting "likes" makes it worthwhile.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）We need to be aware of the fact that people around us influence us in subtle ways that may encourage us,or stop us.The circle of fiveFamous speaker Jim Rohn said, "You're the average of the five people you spend most of your time with."

(4) .Different individuals evolve at a different pace.The important part is to be aware of this living and changing "circle of five".Let this circle of five motivate you,help you gain courage,and take the right actions.Remember,just like others influence you,you also make an influence on others.

A“Mom, I’m going to take my travel journal to school, okay? I want to show my teacher. ” The summer holiday is one of the main topics of conversation at the beginning of each school year. Friends and teachers want to know all about the fun. What better way to recount the experience than show them with a travel journal? Travel journals are as individual as your child, but with the following tips, you can make one too.Start with the bookA good journal is big enough to allow room for drawings, writing, photos, and souvenirs. If it’s too small, nothing will fit. My family finds artist sketchbooks to be the best because the paper is heavier and a good quality to draw on. They also hold up well when souvenirs such as postcards or ticket stubs are pasted in.Educational additionsLoad a simple map of your route and paste it in the book. If you’re traveling through several states or provinces, create a section in the book for each leg of your journey. Use a brightly colored marker to plot your route and stickers to show important points along the way. You may also wish to include coloring pages of state flags and animals, along with interesting trivia about your family travel destination.A picture says a thousand wordsYou may be surprised how judicial(公正) kids become when given a disposable camera and permission to take photos of whatever is important to them. Develop the photosen route, and you have an instant quiet time activity. Avoid disappointment; take a back up photo on you camera as well.With a travel journal, the question, “What did you do this summer? ”takes on a whole new meaning. A drawing here, a quote there, and a few pictures quickly add up to a wonderful book full of memories that can be shared with friends and family for many years to come. After all, isn’t that what family vacations are for?21. The first paragraph serves as _________.A. a descriptionB. a suggestionC. an introductionD. a summary22. Why does the author’s family like artist sketchbooks the best?A. They hold many drawings.B. They are heavy and large enough.C. They can be kept as good souvenirs.D. Their paper is suitable for drawing.23. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. How to make a travel journal.B. Making a summer holiday fun.C. Advantages of keeping a travel journal.D. The real meaning of a family vacation.BUp until about 3 years ago, I never really questioned my identity but now I amf a r m o r e a w a r e o f i t. Sometimes I’ll say really crazy things like “I wonder what I’d look like with pale yellow hair”, and my father only smiles. I guess growing up with Western parents and living in a fairly Western society have made me feel rather “Western”. However, my mother thought that it was still important for me to stay connected to my “roots”.Our family would go on various trips to China, sightseeing and learning more about the culture. I would attend Saturday Chinese (language) school and whenever my school had a culture or an international day, my mother would encourage me to dress up in Chinese dress or bring Chinese food. The key word: encouraged. Not forced.Understanding my native culture and tradition and knowing other children just like me were obviously important ideas my mother valued when it came to bringing up her two Chinese daughters. I have never really had any identity issues; however, Ifind that now I have become less interested in maintaining a strong link to my Chinese tradition. This is because I started traveling and seeing more of the world, and grew up in a very Western lifestyle.What do I mean by this? I have started to become more aware of their customs. But do not think I did not appreciated the opportunity I had to learn about my culture;I will never truly stop being Chinese, but as I grow older, I want to declare myselfa full-and-through Australian.I am on a Chinese Adoption Facebook group and I decide to ask for some ideas on how they feel about being open to learning their native culture.24. According to the text, the writer’s roots are in _________.A. ChinaB. AustraliaC. AmericaD. France25. The writer stays connected to China by the following ways EXCEPT _______.A. traveling to ChinaB. cooking Chinese foodC. attending Chinese language schoolD. learning Chinese culture26. What can we infer about the writer and her family?A. The writer is a nice girl with beautiful golden hair.B. The writer wants to be strongly connected with Chinese tradition.C. The writer prefers the Western lifestyle to the Chinese one.D. The writer’s present parents both come from Australia.27. What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?A. The experience the writer’s family had while traveling in China.B. The writer’s feeling about her special identity.C. The effect the Western lifestyle has on the writer.D. Others’ responses the writer received to her question.CCommon-cold SenseYou can’t beat it, but you don’t have to join it. Maybe it got the name “common cold” because it’s more common in winter. The fact is, though, being cold doesn’t have anything to do with getting one. Colds are caused by the spread of rhinoviruses(鼻病毒), and, at least so far, medical science is better at telling you how to avoid getting one than how to get rid of one.Children are the most common way cold viruses are spread to adults, because they have more colds than adults—an average of about eight per year. Why do kids seem so much more easily to get colds than their parents? Simple. They haven’t had the opportunity to become immune to many cold viruses.There are more than 150 different cold viruses, and you never have the same one twice. Being infected by one makes you immune(免疫的)to it –but only it.Colds are usually spread by direct contact, not sneezing or coughing. From another person’s hand to your hand and then to your nose or eyes is the most common route. The highest concentration of cold viruses anywhere is found under the thumbnails(拇指甲)of a boy, although the viruses can survive for hours on skin or other smooth surfaces.Hygiene is your best defense. Wash your hands frequently, preferably with a disinfectant(消毒剂) soap, especially when children in your household have colds.But even careful hygiene won’t ward off every cold. So, what works when a coughing, sneezing, runny nose strikes?The old prescription(处方)of two aspirins, lots of water, and bed rest is a good place to start. But you’ll also find some of the folk remedies worth trying. Hot mixtures of sugar (or honey), lemon, and water have real benefits.28. According to the essay, you may have a cold because ____________.A. the weather is too coldB.another person’s coughing passes the cold to youC.the spread of rhinoviruses gets people infectedD.you wash your hands too often29. Children have more colds because _________.A. they are not immune to many cold viruses yetB.they are usually infected about eight times each yearC.they never wash their hands so that their thumbnails are dirtyD.they don’t like eating lemon30. When you are having a cold, ___________.A. it is always the same kind of cold that you had last timeB.it is certainly not the same kind of cold that you had last timeC.it may be the same kind of cold that you had last timeD.it is probably not the same kind of cold that you had last time31. When one is having a cold, he may often have all the following symptoms EXCEPT ________.A.coughingB. having a sore throatC. having a stomachacheD. havinga runny noseDThere is an old Chinese proverb that states “One generation plants the trees; another gets the shade”, and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include the hierarchy(等级) and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.Marina, 27 years old, says, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn’t consider her my best friend. Best friends don’t pay for your wedding. Best friends don’t remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friend don’t tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter relationship can’t be very close and satisfying.While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining andpassing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if they aren’t speaking for some unfortunate reason. The mother and child relationship is still closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being. It isn’t that they don’t care deeply about their mothers. It’s just that they shouldn’t be burdened with their mother’s well-being.The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mother always “trumps” friends.32. The underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably mean “___________”.A. preventB. differC. benefitD. change33. What do we know from the passage?A. The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.B. A mother’s love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.C. Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.D. The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends’ friendship.34. The author proves his statements mainly by __________.A. listing dataB. giving explanationsC. quoting sayingsD. making examples35. What is the best title for the passage?A. How to be a good mother and daughterB. Can a mother be a daughter’s best friend?C. A friend in need is a friend indeedD. Who is a mother’s best friend?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes , roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors' lane.The chief prize of the competition is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones).Fiery Foods Festival—The Hottest Festival on EarthEvery year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction—food that is not just spicy(辛辣的) ,but hot enough to make your mouth burn, and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered pepper—officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing's for sure—if you don'tlike the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn't for you!La Tomatina—The World's Biggest Food FightOn the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts Ea Tomatina—the world's largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes—official fight-starters get things going by throwing tomatoes at the crowd.1.

Later, she explained that both children were lying motionless on the bed in the master bedroom."They are not doing anything. They are just blue and they are not taking any breaths and ... their heart is not beating," she said.She told the operator she initially tried to poison the children with bathroom cleaner but they refused to drink it. When that didn't work, "I used a wire on their necks," she said.When the operator asked the woman why she attacked her children, she said, "They're both not normal, not normal. They're autistic. Both are autistic." Pressed further, she said, "I don't want my children to be like that. ... I want normal kids." Later, the dispatcher asked the woman what she was feeling. "Nothing," she responded. At one point, water could be heard running in the background and the dispatcher asked what the woman what she was doing. She told the operator she was trying to wash the smell of cleaner off of her hands. The dispatcher then told the woman to go sit on a couch in the living room and wait for police.At the end of the recording, police can be heard arriving at the home.5. The woman killed her two young children by____.A. choking themB. poisoning themC. first poisoning and then choking themD. striking them with bathroom cleaner6.

What can be inferred from the passage?A.The woman did not take the killing seriously.B. The woman`s two children were autistic.C. The woman hanged up immediately after she called 911.D. The children did not drink the bathroom cleaner.8. What would be the best title for this text?A.A Dallas Mom Killing Her Two ChildrenB.A Woman Who Suffers From AutismC.A Woman and Her Two ChildrenD.A Dallas Woman MurdererCParents who help their kids with homework might feel disappointed after knowing what two researchers Angel L. Harris and Keith Robinson have found.“We need to do away with the assumption（假设）that anything parents do will help. That assumes that parents have all the answers, but actually they don’t,” Harris said.“We found that when parents from various racial and socioeconomic groups regularly helped their child with homework, in most cases, it made no difference for the child’s improvement in their test scores in reading, math, and their grades,” Robinson said.Could the findings simply reflect the fact that kids struggling with school ask for more homework help, thus making it look as though children who get more help do worse? No, Harris said, because the researchers measured the change in achievement among all kids, including those who performed well in school. The effect of parental homework involvement was the same across the board.“P arents tend to hold the reins when it comes to how they’re going to help with homework without ask ing the child,” Robinson noted. “So maybe parents could ask kids, ‘Is what I’m doing helping you? How would you want me to help?’ In this way,kids may benefi t more from parents’ help.”Vicki Davis, a high school teacher, said she’s seen her share of parents doing the assignments for their kids, especially writing papers, or taking charge of important and big projects. Davis expects primary school students to get help from parents because they’re still learning study skills, and she doesn’t mind if older students talk “big picture” with their families about a project. But in general, parents should limit their involvement in making sure kids are completing their homework, she advised.Kerry Lyons, a mother of five in Irvington, N.Y., said the research findings are a “huge relief.” Lyons works full time, so when she gets home, her kids—three kindergartners, one second-grader and one fourth-grader—are usually done with homework.9. It was found that parental homework involvement generally .A. has a lasting effectB. has a poor effectC. has a negative effectD. has a significant effect10. The underlined part “hold the reins” in Paragraph 5 can best be r eplaced by “”.A. show upB. take controlC. watch outD. get ready11. Who does Vicki Davis want parents to help with homework?A. High school studentsB. Students who perform poorly in schoolC. Students who are writing papersD. Primary school students12. How did Kerry Lyons find the research findings?A. ExcitingB. SurprisingC. DisappointingfortingDWithout proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that were also enjoyed by the inhabitants (居民) of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants will become unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. It is important to think about the people of a destination (目的地) country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country`s economy will suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people will lose jobs. Businesses will also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, broad roads, and other things needed by places of interest. For example, a five star tourism hotel needs as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities (设施) as well, If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.13. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the part that goes before this passage?A. Building roads and hotels is necessary.B. Planning is very important to tourism.C. Support facilities are highly important.D. It is very important to developtourism.14. Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ____.A. a bad effect on other industriesB. pressure (压力) on trafficC. over-crowdedness of places of interestD. a change of tourists customs15.Not enough tourism can lead to ____.A. happiness of the inhabitantsB. a rise in price and a fall in payC. the lower cost of support facilitiesD. an increase of unemployment (失业)第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

In a story bookBIt was a hot, humid day, and my brother Walt and I had decided that the only way to survive it would be to go swimming in a deep swimming hole across Mr.Blickez’s pasture(牧场) and through some woods.The only problem with our plan was that this pasture was guarded by a huge, mean Hereford bull. Mr.Blickez had told us that Elsie was the meanest bull in the township, maybe even the county, and we believed him. But the hotter it got, the more we thought there was something fishy about his claim. For one thing, we remembered Mr.Blickez liked telling tall tales; for another, Elsie seemed like an odd name for a bull.Finally, I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the pasture, but then another problem surfaced. Mom said she would talk to Mr.Blickez if we would take our cousin Joanie along with us. Joanie was almost two years older than me and a head taller. If her teasing ever got around my grade school, it would be all over for me. In fact, I still had a headache from a quarrel with her that morning. “I’ m not going swimming with that dumb girl cousin.” I told my mom.“Either Joanie goes with, or you stay home alone,” Mom said in her serious t one. I gave in and we set out. On our way across the pasture, Walt yelled suddenly. Elsie had approached him quietly and was licking(舔) his back. Joanie and I dove under the wire fence, but while I was on the ground I looked up and saw that Elsie wasn’ t a big mean bull after all. She was going to keep licking my brother’ s back as long as he stood still.We had many good days growing up and visiting our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called “big mean bull”. And as it turned out, for a girl cousin, Joanie hasn’ t been too bad. She’ s been one of my best friends over the years.4.What’s the meaning of the underline word “fishy” in Paragraph 2?A. Funny.B. Interesting.C. Believable.D. Doubtful.5.What’s the second problem the au thor has to face?A.His cousin made jokes on him in his grade school.B.His mother insisted on his cousin going with him.C. He quarreled with his cousin and had a headache.D. His mother failed to ask permission for him.6.What does the author think of Elsie in the end?A. Aggressive.B. Friendly.C. Bad-tempered.D. Unkind.7.What’s the passage mainly about?A. How the author changed his attitude to Joanie.B. How friendly the so-called mean bull was.C. The story of visiting the swimming hole.D. T he bull guarding Mr.Blickez’s farm.CGerman conceptual(概念的) artist HA Schult has built the world’s first hotel made out of rubbish in Rome only a few steps from the Vatican and Castel Sant’ Angelo.Schult used a total of 12 tonnes of rubbish collected on beaches along European coasts to form the outer walls of the three-room structure. The rubbish was cleaned in Germany before being transported to Rome for use in the project.Cans, tyres, newspaper, socks and even deserted cameras, footballs and love letters are used to decorate the hotel. Schult hopes his art project will draw attention to the amount of rubbish produced in the world and confront people with the situation.“We are in rubbish time. We produce rubbish and we will be rubbish,” said Schult who built the hotel to mark World Environment Day. Only running water and electricity were lacking inside the hotel.The inside of the hotel was complete with colorful sheets and hard wood floors. Among its first guests were Danish top fashion model Helena Christensen and a 53-year-old London man and his daughter, They spent the night before World Environment Day in the hotel.The rubbish used to make the hotel comes from all over the world, according to Schult. This is symbolic beca use rubbish is a worldw ide problem , he said.“ We are living on a planet of garbage,” said Schult, who has used garbage to create art in various projects since the 1960s to point out the increasing amount of rubbish.Among his best known projects is Rubbish People, which consisted of an army of human-like figures that he set up at numerous prominent locations, including Rome’s Piazza del Popolo, Brooklyn Bridge in New York, the Pyramids at Giza and Red Square in Moscow.8.HA Schult has built the world’s first hotel made out of rubbish ______.A. to draw people’s attention to rubbish problemB. to earn moneyC. to make himself a famous architectD. just for fun9.We can infer from the text that _______.A.

Theyˈll be too busy changing TV channels and enjoying their favorite shows thanks to the worldˈs first dog-friendly remote control.UK-based pet food brand Wagg surveyed a number of pet owners and found that 91% of respondents said their dog friends regularly watched TV with them. Inspired by this interesting finding, the company teamed up with Hyena Hirskyj-Douglas, an expert in animal computer interaction design, to create the world’s first remote control for dogs. They came up with a prototype(样品）which is currently in a trial and analysis period.The oversized remote is made of “hard-wearing plastic”. So while dogs can chew on it like any other toy, they’ll have a tough time actually causing little damage. It has three large, raised，paw-friendly buttons shaped like a bone, paw (爪子）and ball which dogs can press to turn the TV on or off, change the channel and even “pause” a show for later viewing. The remote also has a hole through which a rope can be tied so dogs can carry it around the house. “ Our studies shows the average dog now watches more than nine hours of TV a week, showing technology is already playing a huge part in our pets’ lives，” Hyena Hirskyj-Douglas said.After Wagg performs all its tests and perfects the dog-friendly TV remote control, the company plans to approach tech companies about getting the device into production. So you and your pet dog may soon be fighting over control of your TV set.12.What made Wagg think of inventing the dog-friendly remote control?A.Dogs often watch TV with their owners.B. Dogs like chewing plastic remote controls.C. Dogs have difficulty using the current remote control.D. Dog owners complain about dogs’ bites their remote controls.13.What can we learn about the dog-friendly remote control?A. It doesnˈt need charging.B. It can last a long time.C. It is in the shape of a bone.D. It is large but very light.14.Which statement might Hyena Hirskyj-Douglas agree with?A.Technology has already come into dogs’ life.B. It’s time for owners to control dogs watching TV.C. Dogs have a closer relationship with their owners than before.D. Dogs canˈt live well without this dog-friendly remote control.15.What might be dog owners’ attitude toward this dog-friendly remote control?A. Doubtful.B. Worried.C. Opposed.D. Supportive.二、七选五（本大题共5小题，每题2.5分）It is well-known that eyesight is of great importance in our daily life. Every waking moment, the eyes are working to see the world around us. Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight, but itˈs easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes. Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight:● Schedule yearly exams.16 Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the doctor for a careful check. The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment, including eyeglasses.● Protect against UV rays (紫外线). Long-term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes. No matter what the season is, itˈs extremely important to wear sunglasses. 17● Give your eyes a break. Tw o-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products. 18 Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away.● 19 As part of a healthy diet, eat more fruits and vegetables each day. Vitamins (维生素) C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health.●Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses (隐形眼镜). Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight. While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses, many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk. 20 Otherwise, you may have problems such as red eyes, pain in the eyes, or a more serious condition.A. Eat your greens.B. Eye care should begin early in life.C. They can properly protect your eyes.D. Stay in good shape by taking more vitamins.E. Parents usually don’ t care about their own eyesight.F. Always follow the doctor’ s advice for appropriate wear.G. This freque nt eye activity increases the risk for eye tiredness.三、完形填空（本大题共15小题,每题1分）Helping people in need is not difficult, but what about those whose needs are not so obvious?It was Thanksgiving, and I was 21 with my parents at a shelter for the needy.

Since he graduated from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953, he 36 （devote）his life to finding ways 37 （grow）more and more rice. As a young man, he saw the great need for increasing the rice output. At that time 38 （hungry）was a serious problem in many parts of the countryside. Yuan searched 39 a way to increase rice harvests without 40 （expand） the areas of the fields. In 1950, Chinese farmers could produce about 56 million tons of rice, 41 was not enough then. In 42 recent harvest, however, nearly 200 million tons of rice were produced. These increased harvests mean that 22% of the world's people are fed from just 7% of the farmland in the world. Yuan LongPing is now circulating his knowledge in India and many other less 43 （develop）countries to increase their rice harvests. Thanks to his research, the UN is trying to rid the world of hunger． 44 (fortunate)， 45 (farm) are producing harvests twice as large as before by using his hybrid rice．五、写作1.应用文写作（15分）假如你是李华，你的美国朋友Peter对中国文化很感兴趣，暑假将来中国旅行，写信寻求你的建议，请给他回一封信，内容包括：(1)推荐并描述一个文化景点(至少两点)(2)说明推荐理由(至少两点)注意:(1)词数80 左右;(2)可以适当增加细节, 以使行文连贯;Dear Peter，_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Yours sincerely,Li Hua2.读后续写（25分）Things were really tough in the late 1930s. Mum had a hard time raising us on her own in our small community of New Westminster, BC. My dad had drowned in Pitt Lake,five years ago.Looking back, I realize what Mum went through sending us kid s to school.Every morning she would tuck a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because our soles(鞋底)were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have “French toast” ready for us.Constant moving was typical for my family in those times. Rent was 25 dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would be evicted(赶走) right after Christmas on the first of January. Christmas was approaching, and we were entitled(有资格) to a twenty-five-dollar Christmas fund from social services. The inspector came to our house, and searched it from top to bottom to be sure we didn’t have any food hidden away.When he didn’t find any, he issued the cheque to Mum. Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the 25 dollars to pay back rent, assuring us all of a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas.Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas tree, shoveling snow,and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots. Boots that weren’t patched,boots with no cardboard in the soles. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They were ten-inch Top Genuine Pierre Paris and they had a price of 23 dollars.Well,the big day came on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. I was excited,as I hurried up the road to the shoe store, but on the way I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then I realized at our house, we had no lights,no decorations,nor any money for Christmas goodies. I knew that we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas,and I felt sad. 注意 :1.所续写短文的词数应为150 左右;2.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语;3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
