On April 1st each year, people play tricks on each other. Classmates sometimes tie each other's shoelaces (鞋带) to their chairs. Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surprise test that makes students feel scared before they realize it's only a joke. Newspapers report on fake news (like "UFO" lands in New York City) and announce fake contests (such as" Win an elephant!").One April Fool's Day, when I was in high school, a group of students in my class played a very clever and funny trick on the teachers. They bought some chickens and set them free in our school cafeteria(自助餐厅). The chickens ran all around the school, in and out of classrooms and under our feet. Feathers (羽毛) were flying everywhere. Teachers began running after the chickens, trying to catch them. Finally, they caught four of them. But the chickens were wearing numbered tags(标签) around their necks, and the teachers discovered that they had only caught chickens No. 1, 2, 3 and 5. Where was chicken No. 4? The teachers looked and looked. They couldn't find another chicken. After a few hours, they realized that the students had played another joke on them. There were only four chickens in the first place! They had been tricked by the numbers on the chickens. It's been a long time since I was in high school, but that April Fool's Day remains one of my favorite memories from those years.（1）What can we infer from the first paragraph of the passage?A . Newspapers often cheat people.B . Students play jokes on teachers on April Fool's Day.C . Teachers play tricks on students on April Fool's Day.D . Everyone is hard to avoid being fooled on April Fool's Day.（2）Why did students set chickens free?A . They wanted to let chickens free.B . They wanted to see feathers flying.C . They wanted to play a trick on teachers.D . They wanted to let chickens run all around the school.（3）How many jokes did the students play on the teachers?A . One.B . Two.C . Three.D .

Exercise is good for you because it can help you to keep fit and healthy. It is not enough just to eat a healthy diet. Exercise is important, too. Exercise makes your muscles（肌肉） stronger. There are about 600 muscles in the body. They move your bones and let you move your joints（关节）. If you do not exercise your muscles, they will be weaker and smaller. One of the most important muscles in the body is the heart. To exercise your heart, you need to do something like swimming, or playing a game in which you run about. This will make you breathe more deeply and make your heart and lung stronger. One of the places where you can exercise is at school. In school, children have P.E. lessons that help them to keep fit and well. Try to exercise at least three times a week because exercise is good for you!（1）Exercise can help you to keep fit and healthy, so it is bad for you.（2）It is enough to eat a healthy diet.（3）Exercise can make your muscles stronger.（4）From the passage, we can know that playing basketball can exercise our heart.（5）It's good for you to try to exercise less than three times a week.3. （8分）阅读理解The 35th Weifang International Kite Festival opened in April 2018 in East China's Shandong, receiving kite fans from all over the world. Shandong has a long history of kite making. Over 2,000 years ago, a man named Gongshu Ban from Shangdong invented a kite. It was made of bamboo. In the following centuries, kite making developed well in China.The first Weifang International Kite Festival was celebrated in 1984. In 1983, chairman of the Seattle Kite Association David Checkley took part in a kite show in Shanghai and later he visited several kite manufacturers (制造商). He found that kites made in Weifang were the best. He suggested that an international event take place there. So Weifang began to hold it in April every year.At the fifth festival, Weifang became known as the "kite capital of the world". Today, Weifang is home to over 300 kite factories. Their products are sold to over 40 countries and areas, making up 85% of the domestic (国内的) market and 65% of the world market.However, there are also some problems. "Only a few people would like to learn traditional kite making," says Yang Hongwei. In her opinion, only something traditional can last. As for this problem, an older craftsman (手艺人) Zhang Xiaodong said, "Only through innovation can we achieve a bright future for traditional hand-made kites." Zhang has created a rocket-shaped kite after China launched theShenzhou-5 spacecraft. "I have a controller and the two parts of the 'rocket' can separate in the sky," he said proudly. He is planning to use drones (无人机) in kite making next.（1）Why does the writer mention Gongshu Ban?A . To introduce the history of Shandong.B . To encourage us to make kites by ourselves.C . To explain how to use bamboo to make kites.D . To show Shandong has a long history of kite making.（2）What's the second paragraph mainly about?A . The long history of kite flying in Weifang.B . Why kite flying is becoming more and more popular.C . When Weifang International Kite Festival takes place.D . How the idea of holding Weifang International Kite Festival came up.（3）The underlined word "rocket" in the last paragraph refers to "__________".A . the controllerB . the Shenzhou-5 spacecraftC . the kite Zhang madeD . the drone Zhang will use（4）What do we know from the passage?A . Yang Hongwei suggests new ways to make kites.B . Kites made in Weifang are famous all over the world.C . Many people are interested in learning traditional kite making.D . Weifang became known as the "kite capital of the world" in 1987.4. （8分）阅读理解Hot Dog is popular. It's not a dog, but a cooked sausage in a long piece of bread.

So people like it very much.What’s more, some people prefer to spend much money on a telephone number with 8 in it. They also like their homes on the eighth floor of buildings. Some numbers in themselves are neither lucky nor unlucky, but when going together with other numbers they will have some good meanings (意义）.The number 1 sounds like “yao”，meaning “want”. It’s very famous when going together with 6 and 8. For example, 188, 166 and 168, are very famous by meaning “making a good fortune”or“going on well”.( )36.

Many people said that it would kill animals and the engine would catch fire to their houses. George Stephenson told the people that the train could go on small rails, and it could pull carriages full of things and passengers and there was nogreat danger to them. It was difficult for him to make them believe (相信). However，after some time, he was able to do it, and the first train that was driven by Stephenson himself showed what he had said. On the train there was a new steam engine. It was invented by him, and it was a complete success. The first day when the train ran on the rails, people along the way heard the noise and saw it running quickly to them. They ran quickly back home and closed their doors. They didn’t come out until it went away.A week later an old woman still said that her hen was so frightened (受惊吓的）that it didn’t lay any eggs for three days.( )36. When did George invent the first train?A. In 1825.B. In 1835.C. In 1725.D. In 1735.( )37. Why did George meet difficulties?A.Because people saw his invention before.B.Because his invention was too dangerous.C.Because there was something wrong with his invention.D.Because people thought his invention was not safe.( )38. How did George show that he was right?A.He told people the train was good enough and useful.B.He operated the train by himself and it became successful.C.He asked some famous people to operate the train.D.He told people how file train was made.( )39. How did people feel when the train ran to them?A. Excited.B. Cheerful.C. Afraid.D. Angry.( )40. What’s the main idea of the passage?A.If you study hard, you will be a great inventor.B.We all should have a dream to invent something.C.When you invent something, you should show it to others.D.Every successful inventor has difficulties in their work.DMany great inventions changed the way we live. The first great invention was the one that is still very important today — the wheel.There were few inventions that had as much influence as the wheel for many years. In the early 1800s, the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People began to work to make life better.In the 19th century, many great inventions such as the camera, the light and the telephone came into being.The 20th century saw more great inventions —movies with sound in 1910, the computer in 1946, and jet planes (喷气式飞机）in the 1930s. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wore.By this time human beings had a strong wish to explore (探索）again. The worldwas known to human beings but the stars were not. Human beings began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space.In 1969 human beings took their biggest step from the Earth. An American first walked on the Moon. That was just a beginning. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never thought.。

Many students were also excited in the Chinese film Festivals in the evenings.In the mornings there were lessons on speaking and writing Chinese, and every afternoon, there were kungfu and T’ai Chi classes. However, to most students , the best part of the Chinese week was a Chinese culture and history show.It had Chinese inventions, such as kites, fireworks, Chinese paintings and traditional Chinese clothes."The Chinese week was a big success !

Sometimes they are also called the Dark Ages since few people had an education during that time. Still, there were lots of new ideas and inventions. Many of them came from China.Paper MoneyIn 1023, the first government﹣printed （政府印制的）paper money was printed in China. Before that paper money had been printed just by companies. Marco polo was an Italian explorer who went to China. He wrote about paper Money. Paper money did not become popular in Europe Until Sweden began printing it in 1601.Movable type printing machineBi Sheng Made the first movable type printing machine in China in the 1000s.Before this，people had to make copies of books by writing out the whole book by hand.Magnetic（磁的）compassA compass is usually used to tell you what direction you are going.

But do you know it took men millions of years to be able to think this way？in Fact. one of the most difficult things to teach children is the idea of numbers.In ancient times.when a man wanted to tell how many animals he owned, he had no system（系统）of numbers to use. He put a stone into a bag for each animal. The more animals, the more stones he had. It may explain why the word "calculate" comes from the Latin word "calculus". "Calculus" means "stone."Then, man used lines to count. People would just draw a line for each thing they wanted to count, but they had no word to tell the number.Later on, people used fingers. Again we have word that goes back to this. The word "digit" comes from the Latin word "digitus". It means "finger"! And the fact that we have 10 fingers led to the use of 10 in the system of numbers.The number system we use today was invented by the Hindus in India thousands of years ago and was brought to Europe during 8th to 11th by Arab traders（商人）. In this system, people count things with ten numbers. 1. 2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.and 0.

Because we have no system of numbers to use（12）Which of the following can be the best title of the passage？A. Numbers and tradingB. Ways of counting In Modern TimesC. Animals and calculatingD. Development of counting SystemDAlmost half of Chinese parents play with theirmobile phones while talking with their children.According to a new study.The study of 4170 primary and middle school students in six cities has been done by China Youth and Children Research Centre.It finds that 8percent of parents often play with their mobile phones when talking with their children and 40 percent sometimes answer their phone calls when communicating with them. More than 40 percent of Children say their parents do not pay enough attention to them while they are talking. according to the study.The top five topics in parent﹣student communication are study, what happened in school, interests and hobbies, friends, and the child's future.Sun Hongyan, from the China Youth and Children Research Center, says communication between parents and children has changed a lot. Now, the use of IPads or mobile phones has become the main reason for parent﹣child fights.Children often get on the internet to talk to others when they do not have enough communication with their parents, Sun says. She advises that parents should talk to children in sincere manner, listen to them., respect them and keep eye contact while talking.（13）How many children in the study say their parents do not pay enough attention to them while they are talking？A.

They are using special 3-D printers（打印机）. The big machines print out new homes.A printer usually prints things onto sheets ofpaper. A 3-D printer works differently. It read a design. Then it makes a 3-D model of that picture. It makes the model from the bottom up. It prints one floor at a time.The new 3-D printer is called Vulcan. The Vulcan can build homes in less than one day. The houses are big enough for three or four people. The first 3-D printed house has already been built. It was shown in Austin, Texas, USA. The house has large windows. The rooms are small but making you feel at ease.The new house was built by two companies. One is New Story. The other is ICON. Evan Loomis, head of ICON said.“the house in Austin is just the first step. Later this year. we want to build about 10 homes in EL Salvador.”Next year., they plan to build a whole village.

Some people believe that schools will no longer be necessary in the near future. They said that because of the Internet and other new technology, there is no longer any need for school buildings, classes or teachers. Perhaps this will be true one day, but if the world has no schools, I can't imagine(想像) how our society will be, In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better. We should invent a new knid of school that is linked to libraries, museums, science centers, labs and even companies. Technological companies should create(创造) learning programs for schools. Scientists or professors could give talks through the Internet. TV networks and local stations could develop programs about things students are actually studying in school. Labs could set up websites to show new technology so students could see it on the Internet.Is this a dream? No. There are already many cities where this is beginning to happen. Here the whole city is linked to the Internet, and learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office. Businesses provide programs for the schools and the society. The schools provide computer labs for people without their own computers at home. Because everyone can be on the Internet, older people use it as much as younger ones. And everyone can visit distant(远处的) libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones. How will this new kind of school change the usual way of learning? It is too early to be sure, but it is very exciting to think about it. Technology will change the way we learn; schools will change as well; and we will all learn something from the Internet.（1）In the writer's opinion, .A . more schools should be builtB . schools are necessaryC . schools are not necessaryD . there should be fewer schools（2）What does “a new kind of school” mean?A . A newly built school.B . There are many new students in the school.C . There are many new teachers in the school.D . A school, which is linked to Internet.（3）On the Internet, you .A . can view the new technologyB . can see everything except new technologyC . Can learn everythingD . can do whatever you like（4）Which of the following sentences is NOT true?A . The schools provide computer labs for those who have no personal computers.B . If you are not a student, you cannot view the new technology on the Internet.C . On the Internet, you can visit another city's library as easily as the local people.D . Technology will change our way of learning.（5）What is the best title for this passage?A . InternetB . SchoolC . New TechnologyD . will Technology Take the Place of Schools?2. （8分）阅读理解Do you know how to train (训练)dogs? Some schools in the US are giving students a chance to learn how to do so. At Hutton High School in New York, there is a guide dog training program. It started two years ago. Students train dogs to help blind people. Many other schools have similar programs.In this program, students first work as dog sitters (临时看狗的人). They get training and go to meetings to learn how to take care of dogs. After a while, they can get a dog of their own. Then, they start to train them in different places. They can keep the dogs for one year.Lisa Harris, 15, joined the program about a year ago. She has her own guide dog. She spends a lot of time with the dog at school. She trains the dog to ignore (忽略)things while walking, like food and people. When she's in class, the dog sits or lies between her feet.（1）Why do the students train dogs?A . To help the policemen.B . To help blind people.C . To help the students.D . To help the pet lovers.（2）What don't the students in the training program do?A . They work as dog sitters.B . They learn how to take care of dogs.C . They keep the dogs for one year.D . They live with the dogs in different places.（3）What do we know about Lisa Harris?A . She joined the program at the age of 15.B . She trains her dog by herself.C .
