Its first use was as a shade (遮蔽) against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, back in the eleventh century BC.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And therewas a strange thing connected with its use : it became a symbol of honor and power(权力). In theFar East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or byroyal people such as the kings or queens.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece, but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it became a symbol of power.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made inall kinds of colors.36.

It was all my fault, with no excuse and no reason,” said the 23-year-old Taiwan actor, Kai Ko or Ko Chen-tung (柯震东), bowing to the press conference (新闻发布会). Ko apologized publically for taking drugs (吸毒) with friends at his house in Beijing“It was my personal behavior, selfish and stupid.

I want to correct my mistake, because I don’t want to see the sad faces of those who love me and those who I love. I am really sorry to them.”Ko said.Ko became very famous and popular after starring in the film called You Are the Apple of My Eye in 2011. His clean and youthful image won him many fans.

He was about to sleep when he was surprised to find an overturned (翻到的) bowl of noodles under the quilt (被子). He hit his sleeping son angrily, “Why are you so careless, making the quilt dirty? Who will wash it?” It was the first time that he had hit his boy after his wife’s death.“Sorry, but…” the child explained with tears in his eyes, “This is your supper, Daddy.” In order to let his father eat dinner when he arrived home, the child prepared two bowls of noodles: one for himself, the other for his father. He was afraid that his father’s noodles would get cold, so he placed them under the quilt!Hearing this, the father felt deeply moved and felt sorry about what he did to his son —he hugged his son tightly without saying a word.56.

"If I struggle to be a writer, then what will we live on?"Sophia took her husband by the hand and led him to the kitchen. Opening a drawer, she took out a box that was full of cash.

To solve this problem, scientists have been working with different smell to find one strong enough to keep insects from going near food. One possibility would be to use plants with strong smells, like garlic or pine, to keep insects away. Unluckily, however, using these smells might keep some people away too!A more hopeful repellent is citronella oil, which comes from a type of lemongrass. Scientists did an experiment using this oil with an insect—the red four beetle. Scientists sprayed (喷洒) cardboard boxes with citronella oil and noticed that the beetles did not enter those boxes. They were much more interested in boxes that were not sprayed.One problem with using citronella oil as are repellent, however, is that it does not last long. After a few months it loses its smell, and insects no longer find it unpleasant. Scientists hope to improvecitronella oil so that its smell keeps strong for a longer time. I will also be necessary to make sure that the oil is not harmful to people, as scientists are sill not sure if it is safe to use around food.61. What is the passage mainly about?A.

He was a greedy man and loved gold better than anything else in the world.One day he asked the gods to give him still ore gold. The gods decided to punish him and said, "Very well. In the morning everything that you touch will become gold. "Midas was excited when he heard this. "T shall be the richest man in the world, "he said to himself.He got up early next morning. When he touched his bed, i turned into gold. He began to dress himself, and his clothes became gold. Midas was delighted. He went into the garden full of flowers.

"Take all my gold and return my daughter" "Go," said the gods, "and wash your hands in the river near your garden. The water will take away the Golden Touch."Midas went to the river and washed his hands. Then he ran quickly to the golden statue of his little girl.

We can probably find the passage above in ______ .A. a travel guideB. a science magazineC. a notice boardD. a novelCA new study finds that plants communicate with one another to warn of danger.We often consider plants as the furniture of the natural world. They don't move. They don't make sounds, and they don't seem to act on anything. But as is often the case, plants talk to each other all the time. And the language is chemical.Over the years, scientists have reported that different types of plants, from trees to tomatoes, give out chemicals into the air to help neighbouring plants. These chemical warnings can spread information about one plant's disease or infestation (虫害) , so other plants can protect themselves. But how plants receive and act on many of the information exactly is still mysterious.In this week's Science Magazine, researchers in Japan offered some explanations. They have found out one chemical message and traced it all the way from beginning to end.The scientists looked at tomato plants infested by a common pest (害虫) . To start out, they grew plants in two separate plastic spaces connected by a tube (管子) . One plant was infested and placed upwind and the others were uninfested and placed downwind. The downwind plants were later exposed (暴露) to the pet The results showed that plants near sick neighbours before were able to protect themselves better against the pest.They found one chemical appeared more often in the exposed plants. The chemical is called HexVic. The scientists discovered where HexVic came from, and put it over healthy plants. Those plants were then able to produce HexVic. Researchers made sure that uninfested plants could fight off bugs and diseases. How do they know when to protect themselves? They are warned first by their friendly plant neighbours It is not a simple story, and it may be happening in more plant species than tomatoes. I may also be happening with more chemical signals that are still unknown to us. In a word, we know that plants not only communicate, but also look out fr one another.56. According to Paragraphs 1-3, which of the following statements is true?A. Plants communicate with one another to have fun.B. Plants seldom talk to each other.C. Different types of plants give out chemicals to help neighbouring plants.D. People have known how plants receive and act on the information.57. The underlined word "traced" in Paragraph 4 probably means " ______ ".A. attackedB. followedC. doubtedD. developed58. For scientists, which are the right steps to watch tomato plants infested by a pest?①Place the infested plant upwind. ②Place the uninfested plants downwind.③Expose the downwind plants to the pest. ④Grow plants in two separate plastic spaces connected by a tube.A. ③①②④B. ①④③②C.④①②③D. ④②①③59. You can put the sentence "The researchers also studied leaves from exposed plants and unexposed plants." at the beginning of ______ .A. Paragraph 3B. Paragraph 4C. Paragraph 5D. Paragraph 660. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. Communicating plants and terrible diseasesB. Communicating plants and friendly warningsC. Protecting plants and clear informationD. Growing plants and mysterious chemicalsDJim Hawkins loved adventure. When a blind man by the name of Black Dog came to live with him and his mother in their inn, Jim had no idea he was to get into one great big dangerous adventure.Black Dog was an unfriendly old man. One morning, he was found dead in his room. Jim and his mother opened his trunk and found an old map. It looked like a treasure map. Jim was excited and told his mother that he would go and look for the treasure. But before that he went to meet the village Squire (乡绅) ."Sir, this is what I have found in the blind man's trunk who died yesterday. It looks to me like a map of some hidden treasure, "said Jim to the Squire pulling out the map. "Indeed it does, "agreed the Squire"We should set sail immediately to look for the treasure. "So, the next day, Jim and the Squire boarded a ship, to set sail to an unknown island, looking for treasure. It was a long journey. On the ship, Jim met a one-legged sailor who was the ship's cook. His name was Long John Silver. He always had his pet parrot perched on his shoulder Silver was very friendly and had Jim rolling with laughter with his stories.One stormy night, Jim, feeling hungry, walked up to one of the barrels (桶) with apples. Suddenly, he heard voices. Jim felt suspicious (怀疑的) and jumped inside the barrel. Once inside he froze and held his breath to listen carefully. Long John Silver was talking. He was saying, "Tomorrow we will reach Treasure Island. As soon as I give the signal, we will take all the passengers on board as prisoners. Then we can take the map and dig up the treasure. Let us go back to our places before anyone sees. " When Jim was sure everyone had gone, he climbed out of the barrel. He immediately warmed the Squire of Long John Silver's plan. The next morning, when the island was visible (看得见的) in the distance, Jim jumped off the ship and swam to the shore. There he met a raged old man, who said, "I am Ben Gunn, I have been shipwrecked (遭遇海难) in this island for 20 years. I suppose you have come to look for the treasure." Jim nodded and said, I jumped off the ship and there are dangerous men on that ship. Please help me. My friend the Squire is on that ship too. "Ben Gunn knew the island very well. He laid out traps for Long John Silver and his men. When they came shouting and waving their guns, they fell into a hole in the ground dug by Ben Gunn. They were trapped. Jim and Ben Gunn dug up treasure and swam to the ship. Jim, Ben and the Squire sailed back home leaving Long John Silver and his men in the island forever61.

Since then many people have learnt to speak and write the language. Esperanto is easy to learn because it has only a few simple rules. All nouns end in "o", and each letter has just one sound. Also, many of Esperanto's words are borrowed from other languages. For example, the Esperanto word for "telephone" is telefono. Some people say that Esperanto sounds similar to Spanish.Some people would like to see Esperanto become more widely used. They believe that if all the people of the world could speak the same language, countries would get along better. Trade would beeasier. Cultures could be shared, and close friendships would grow. Other people believe that Esperanto will never work. They think that people should use languages that have developed over time rather than ones that have been created all at once.But Esperanto is becoming more popular. So far thousands of books and magazines have been printed in Esperanto. Some children in Hawaii even study Esperanto in schools. Will Esperanto be spoken by all the people in the future? It is difficult to predict, and only time will tell.51. This article is mainly about ______ .A. a widely used languageB. an invented languageC. how to learn and speak a foreign languageD. the inventor of a new language52. Which of the following is a fact in the article?A. Thousands of books and magazines have been printed in Esperanto.B. If everyone speaks Esperanto, trade will be easier.C. People should use languages that have developed over time.D. Esperanto will never work as a worldwide language.BHow to be a safe and smart searcher?Several keywords will help to find better results.Use more than one keyword when you are doing a search. If you want to find out about seagulls for example, search for"bird seagull" and not just "seagull" -because seagull might also be the name of just about anything else, from a hotel to a documentary film.Exact reference can help you to find what you're looking for.If you are looking for an exact phrase or sentence, e.g. "seagull are very clever", type it between inverted commas (" ") and only exact matches will be shown. This is useful when you want to find something you've already seen but lost. Avoid common words like "a" or "the" in a search. These aren't always helpful and are usually unnecessary. Remove unwanted results by adding a minus symbol(-). For example, "Seagull hotel-film" would leave out all references to hotels and films.Check your spelling.Make sure that you spell every word in the search box correctly. The smallest typing mistakes can bring unwanted results—especially when the mistyped word exists.Have a filter.It's a good idea to filter (过滤) your online searchers, especially when you are searching for pictures. Experiment with different search engines until you find the one that's the best for you. Some search engines personalize the results so check out the option of using a search engine that doesn't do this and you will get different results. Reliability is very important when you search on the Internet. Don't make the mistake of believing everything you see. Check your information on other websites before accepting it.53. Which of the following things should you do as a smart searcher?a. Use only one keyword in a single search.b. Avoid terms like"a"or"the"in a search.c. Choose your search engine carefully.d. Pay no attention to small spelling mistakes.e. Compare information from different sites.A. abcB. aceC. bcdD. bce54. According to the passage, the minus symbol ______ .A. can make search results more exactB. is equal to inverted commas in a searchC. is likely to give you a long list of resultsD. is usually considered unnecessary in a search55. From the passage, we know that a filtering system ______ .A. is used to tick out false information on a websiteB. is especially important while searching for picturesC. personalizes your results when you are doing a searchD. is useful to find something you've already seen but lostCHow would you like to live underground? Many families in the town of Coober Pedy, Australia, do just that. Their houses, called dugouts, are carved (挖) out of the earth. They are similar to common houses. They have kitchens, bedrooms, and living rooms, but they have few window. Most of the light in the houses comes from lamps and overhead lights instead of direct sunlight.People in the town build dugouts because of where they live. Coober Pedy is in a desert (沙漠) in southern Australia. The temperature can climb as high as 50℃in summer. It can plunge (骤降) as low as zero in winter. Dust storms and swarms of flies (苍蝇) can make life miserable. Underground, though, it is always a comfortable 23℃. People don't even need fans.Why would people want to live in such a place? Coober Pedy is an opal-mining (猫眼石矿) town. Opals are colourful stones used for jewellery. The mines (矿) in Coober Pedy produce most of the world's opals. Early settlers (定居者) there realized that they could avoid the harsh temperatures by building their homes underground. Today almost half of the3,500 people in the town live in dugouts. Restaurants, schools and other buildings are also underground. People enjoy their lives "down under".56. Where is the town of Coober Pedy?A. In South Africa.B. In North America.C. In southern Australia.D. In northern Australia.57. What does the underlined word"miserable"in Paragraph2 mean?A. Boring.B. Meaningful.C. Busy.D. Uncomfortable.58. What is the main reason why people in Coober Pedy live underground?A. To stay cool in summer and warm in winter.B. To find opals underground.C. To protect the desert where they live.D. To avoid the strong sunshine in the desert.59. Which is NOT true according to the article?A. In Coober Pedy, almost half of the population live in underground dugouts.B. The dugouts are the same as common houses.C. Coober Pedy is the main opal-mining area in the worldD. Coober Pedy is famous not only for its opals but also for its underground homes.60. The purpose of this article is ______ .A. to tell about the history of making jewelleryB. to advise people to move to Coober PedyC. to tell people about an unusual townD. to tell people how opals are taken out of minesDFor me, Christmas always began in the middle of the cold, windy month of November. My sister, Alison, and I sat down in front of the fire and wrote letters to Father Christmas telling him about all the presents we wanted. We seriously wrote "Father Christmas, the North Pole" on envelopes, beforegiving them to our mother to post. With December our excitement grew each day—as we opened the new year calendar, Christmas cards arrived in the post, Christmas lights appeared in the streets, and we attended he town carol service (唱颂歌仪式) . And of course, there was snow everywhere, enough to make snowmen, and to have exciting snowball fights in the school playground.On Christmas Eve, the whole family helped to decorate the house, put up the Christmas tree. Then, in the afternoon, when Auntie Kathleen and my two cousins arrived, everything was ready. Before we went to bed, we left some wine and biscuits for Father Christmas and then put our stockings (长筒袜) at the end of our beds. We tried to stay awake as long as possible to see Father Christmas, but the next thing we knew it was morning. Christmas morning!At the bottom of the bed was the stocking, now full of small presents and sweets. Christmas morning was bright and sunny, so my cousin David and I went out into the garden to play with our new presents.Lunch was always late, but what a lunch! A big turkey with all the vegetables followed by Christmas pudding (布丁) . We sang Christmas carols happily, laughed at jokes, put on paper hats and laughed again.After lunch, the adults slept on the sofas in front of the Queen's speech on television while we children played cards. Then we had tea, with a huge Christmas cake covered with snowmen. By bedtime all of the children were very tired. As son as we turned off the light, we all fell into a deep, happy sleep.61. What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Letters.B. Presents.C. Parents.D. Christmas cards.62. Who do you think might read the children's letters?A. Father Christmas.B. Nobody.C. Their parents.D. Their classmates.63. What most probably happened on Christmas Eve?A. The children stayed awake all night.B. Someone put presents in the children's stockings.C.

Language is part of our daily lives， no matter where we live in the world． Similarly，music is part of many people's lives， whether it is played on the radio on your drive to work or played in a concert． Both language and music play a huge role in our culture and here are some of their similarities．Both have a writing system．In English we record language using the alphabet， which is a collection ofletters． Similarly，we use notes to keep a record of music．Musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music which we can hear． So just as you read English， you can read music．By writing pieces of text or music，we are able to share experiences through time． We can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago， which is really quite exciting．Both vary with culture．You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language they use．In the same way， we know that styles of music are different around the world，giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation．Both share emotion．How do you know that I am angry？ Of course you may be able to see it in my face， but you will know for sure through my words． Similarly， music can sound angry， sad or happy． Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling， and allows us to share that emotion． When you feel happy， you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness． In contrast， you probably also listen to sad music when you are feeling down． I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions，often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics．（C）阅读与回答问题．（共1小题，每小题10分，计10分）21. When Dr． Karen McComb came to Amboseli Park， her first task was to learn the names of the one hundred or so elephants most often seen．Scientists working in the park have learned to study elephants by watching them up close． They have a list of almost one thousand elephants． There are records for all of the elephants born since 1972． Amboseli was a good place for Dr． McComb to study animal communications． Elephants were a great subject because their lifestyle depends on communication．Dr． McComb and her team had learned a lot about elephant communication， but they kept on thinking about one puzzling （困惑的） watch． Some families were better at distinguishing （区别） calls of friends from those of strangers．What made some families smarter than others？ The scientists searched their records for an explanation． To their surprise， there was only one factor （因素） of importance： The "smartest" families always had the oldest grandmothers． A family， as it did in all other activities， waited for some signal （信号） from the grandmother when they heard a strange contact call． And older， more experienced grandmothers were better at telling whether other elephants were strangers or friends just by their calls．That was an important discovery． It showed how an elephant family depends on the experience of the grandmother．回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过5个词．（1）How do scientists working in the park study elephants？________（2）What did Dr． McComb study？________（3）What did Dr． McComb and her team do for an explanation？________（4）Who does everyone in elephant families listen to？________（5）What does an elephant family depend on in all the activities？________四、词汇（共5小题，每小题1分，计20分）A）根据句意和汉语提示写出单词，完成句子．22.

City life had become too much for me.As I walked down 18 streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my flat, I heard a sound behind me. I 19 quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight.Still, the noise had made me 20 , so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my flat building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my 21 falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more. I ran out of the door and back to 22 I'd heard the noise.Although I 23 the sidewalk anxiously(忧虑的) for fifteen minutes, my wallet was 24 to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the 25 , “ Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my 26 ? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye. “Is this what you're looking for?”he asked, 27 up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much 28 that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some 29 of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a badplace as long as people were 30 to help each other.16. A. fun B. trouble C. interest D. boredom17. A. giving B. keeping C. going D. clearing18.

Language is part of our daily lives， no matter where we live in the world． Similarly，music is part of many people's lives， whether it is played on the radio on your drive to work or played in a concert． Both language and music play a huge role in our culture and here are some of their similarities．Both have a writing system．In English we record language using the alphabet， which is a collection ofletters． Similarly，we use notes to keep a record of music．Musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music which we can hear． So just as you read English， you can read music．By writing pieces of text or music，we are able to share experiences through time． We can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago， which is really quite exciting．Both vary with culture．You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language they use．In the same way， we know that styles of music are different around the world，giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation．Both share emotion．How do you know that I am angry？ Of course you may be able to see it in my face， but you will know for sure through my words． Similarly， music can sound angry， sad orhappy． Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling， and allows us to share that emotion． When you feel happy， you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness． In contrast， you probably also listen to sad music when you are feeling down． I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions，often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics．（C）阅读与回答问题．（共1小题，每小题10分，计10分）21.
