Others will encountermany upsets， tears and losses（失落）on their journey. Some others will stay on to offer a helping hand to anyone in need.Some people on the train will leave a deep impression（印象） when they get off. Some will get on and get off the train so quickly that they will hardly leave a sign.We will sometimes be upset that some passengers， whom we love， will choose to sit in anoth er compartment（车厢） and leave us to travel on our own. Then again， there's nothing that says we can't look for the m anyway.

You can also find information about your favourite sport or film star, talk to your friends or even do some shopping on the pages. Most pages have words, pictures and even sound or music.What is e-mail?Electronic mail (e-mail) is a way of sending messages to other people. It’s much quicker and cheaper than sending a letter. If you want to use e-mail, you must have an e-mail address. This address must have letters and dots and an @ (means “at”). For example:**************. Write a message, type a person’s e-mail address, and then send the message across the Internet. People don’t need to use stamps, envelopes or go to the post office because of the invention of the Internet. Quick, easy and interesting —that’s the Internet.( )1.

Such electronic products make the brain more active，and then influence their sleep. But according to a latest survey，more than 90% of the Americans regularly use a computer or some other kinds of electronic products in the hour before bed.Researchers are finding that manmade light from some electronic products at night may reduce the brain chemicals(化学物质) that help sleep. The researchers showed that sitting in the light from computer tablets clearly lowered levels of the chemical which manages our body clocks and plays a role in the sleep cycle.In the study, the researchers let volunteers read，play games and watch movies on a tablet for different time while measuring(测量) how much light their eyes received.They found that two hours of sitting before a bright tablet screen at night reduced the sleep chemical levels by about 22%.Studies of students using computers at night have got the similar results .And researchers say that may not only cause sleeplessness，but also raise the risk of obesity(肥胖症)，diabetes(糖尿病) and other diseases.To be on the safe side，the researchers advise us to use computers less before bed，or at the very least turning down your screen as much as possible.( )1．What can we learn from the first paragraph?A．Americans don't get enough sleep.B．Electronic products are very popular.C．The brain becomes more active at night.D．Sleep experts never use smart phones.( )2．The volunteers in the study did the following things EXCEPT ________．A．listen to musicB．play computer gamesC．watch moviesD．read electronic books( )3．How may electronic products influence people's sleep?A．Make our brains less active.B．Make our body weak.C．Lower our brains' chemicals that help sleep.D．Change our body clocks.( )4．The underlined word “that”probably means ________ in the passage.A．making a survey about sleepB．using smart phones in the day timeC．sitting in a bright roomD．surfing the Internet at nightDA 12-man Chinese team landed on the Antarctic icecap peak(南极冰盖的高峰) on January 18. They are the first people to reach the peak of Dome A. It is 4,039 meters above sea level.The team built a station there to study the changes of the weather, get ice samples(标本) from 150 meters to 200 meters below, and do other studies. So far, the team has got nearly 100-meter-long ice samples from a place about 300 meters under the icecap peak. It is the first time that people have been able to get samples from the icecap peak in Antarctica and it is very important for people to study the weather changes and environmental changes in this area.The Chinese scientists have also built a weather study system at the peak. The system can send out information about temperature, how strong the wind is, and many other things about the weather.The Antarctic icecap makes up 70% of the Earth’s freshwater. By studying Dome A, scientists can get the lowest temperature of the Earth and other information about the world’s weather changes. We can’t get this information from other places on the Earth because Dome A is the best place for this kind of studies. So it is very important to land on the peak of Dome A.( )1. The team has got about 100-meter-long ice samples ________.A. from 150 meters to 200 meters belowB. from a place about 300 meters belowC. from 200 meters to 250 meters belowD. from a place about 150 meters below( )2 The Chinese team built a weather study system to get _____.A.the Earth’s freshwaterB. ice samples from the peakC. information about the weatherD. the news about other countries( )3.

The webpage is mainly about ______.A. daily life tipsB. room decorationC. gardening tipsD. social problems．RMany expressions that we use in American English come from novels. Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carroll's famous novel Alice in Wonderland in detail.The story is about a young girl falling down a rabbit hole. When she finally lands, she finds herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters. The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit, who runs past her and says some strange words. Alice chases（追赶）him, and that is where her adventures begin.In English, chasing a white rabbit means chasing an impossible clue and finding yourself in a misleading situation.Then, as she runs after the rabbit, she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland.To fall down the rabbit hole can mean to enter a confusing（令人困惑的）situation. However, usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in something to the point of distraction（分神）. It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful.Later in the story, Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy tea party. Hares（野兔）have long been thought to behave excitedly in March, which is their mating（交配）season. Scientifically, this may not be true. But to be mad as a March Hare means that someone is completely mad, or crazy. Theexpression mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy. Of the two, mad as a Hatter is more common. But don't tell the March Hare. Who knows how he will react（反应）!Near the end of the story, Alice meets the Queen of Hearts. A woman who is called a Queen of Hearts likes controlling others and always tries to control everything and everyone around her.34. Which of the following situations best fits the expressions to fall down a rabbit hole?A. When Tom was taking a walk in the forest, he suddenly fell over onto the ground.B. When Mary turned on the TV, she chose to watch the talk show programmed as usual.C. When Jim was looking for a sport book online, he lost himself in many report on superstars.D. When Lily was thinking about how to solve a math problem, she came up with a good idea.35. According to the passage, the expression to be mad as a March Hare ______.A. describes how hares behave in MarchB. shows hares' characteristics in a scientific wayC. is used more often than the expression mad as a Hatter．D. has the same meaning as the expression mad as a Hatter36. Which character in "Alice in Wonderland" wants others to obey his or her orders in everysituation?A. AliceB. The March HareC. The HatterD. The Queen of Hearts37. The writer mainly wants to ______ in the passage.A. Introduce a famous novel and its language style.B. Introduce a famous writer Lewis Carroll and his novels.C. Explore some English expressions from a famous novel.D. Explain why many expressions in English come from novels.STo get an extra 14years of life，don't smoke，eat lots of fruits and vegetables，exercise regularly and drink alcohol in a proper amount．That is according to a study published this Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine Journal．After tracking more than 20，000people aged 45t0 79years in the UK from about 1993to 2008，Kay-Tee Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived an average of 14years longer than who didn't．"We're known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do，but we've not seen this benefit before，"said Susan Jebb，head of Nutrition and Health at Britain's Medical Research Council．"The benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and social class they came from．"Study participants（参与者）scored a point each for not smoking，regular physical activity，eating fiveservings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake．Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changes．But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes，it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviors would surely gain 14years．"We can't say that any person could gain 14years by doing these things，"said Dr Tim Armstrong，a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization．"The 14years is an average across the population of what's theoretically（埋论上地）possible．"Most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking isn't good for them，"Susan Jebb said．"We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change．"38. We can infer from the passage that ______ ．A. people are unaware of the harm of their bad habitsB. drinking alcohol does no harm to our health and helps us live longerC. the government should make people change their bad habits by forceD. not everyone will live 14years longer by adopting the four healthy habits39. Which of the following DOESN'T belong to the four healthy habits？______A. Eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day．B. Doing proper exercises in the morning every day．C. Drinking alcohol in the proper amount．D. Having a physical examination every year．40. Which of the following can be inferred according to the passage？______A. Susan Jebb did not take part in the study．B. The study observed people as well as tested specific changes．C. There s no need for people under 45to adopt these good habits．D. Only those from first class can benefit from these healthy behaviors．41. What should be the best title of this passage？______A. Smoking Cuts You 14YearsB. How to Live a Healthier LifeC. Healthy Habits May Give 14YearsD. How to Make Your Life Longer than Others．TI spent a lot of time making a large shelf for my cave.I found a big tree and chopped it down.This took three days.Then，I chopped off the branches.This took another two days.After that，I chopped the wood away from one side，and then from the other side.This took more than one month.Altogether it took forty-two days.In En gland，two men with a good saw could have made six of these shelves from that tree in half a day.I also spent a lot of time looking after my corn and rice crops.I had to protect them from wild ani mals and birds，so I made a fence around them.I shot some of the birds and hung them up near the corn.After that，all the other birds stayed away.I used one of the old swords I had taken from the ship to cut down th e corn when it was ready.I was very proud of my corn and rice and worked hard to increase my cro ps.A few years later，I would have enough corn to make bread.I had to find a way to grind the corn into flour，but the rocks on the island were not hard enough.I finally discovered that a very hard piece of wood would do.I used some cloth to separate the meal from the husks.Not having an oven，I made some square pots with lids and covered them with hot ashes.This baked the dough，and I had bread!I made my cave bigger again to hold the corn and flour so that I could make bread whenever I needed to.I sometimes wondered how I could get to the land which was visible from the other side of the i sland.I went to the ship's boat that was blown onto the beach in the shipwreck.However，I could not get it to the water.It was too heavy.I tried many different ways of doing it，but none of them were successful.42.

At first, everything turned green. Then the green changed to colours -- blue, purple and red. There were flowers everywhere.Dickon and Mary's seeds(种子) grew and the roses--the roses! From small buds they grew into large flowers and filled the air with their perfume.Colin saw it all. He watched the changes as they happened. Dickon pushed his wheelchair to the garden every morning and he spent the day there. Sometimes Colin sat on the grass watching the insects. One day, he watched a mole(鼹鼠) digging a hole. He learnt a lot of things about the ways of these insects and animals. And Dickon taught him about the animals in the wood.One morning, the children were in the secret garden as usual. When Ben Weatherstaff arrived, Colin said, "Good morning, Ben Weatherstaff. I want you and Dickon and Mary to listen to me becauseI'm going to tell you something very important.""Yes, sir!" answered Ben Weatherstaff.“I'm going to do a scientific experiment(科学实验),” he said. when I grow up, I’m going to make scientific discoveries about magic and I'm going to start with this experiment. Do you understand?""Yes, sir!" said Ben Weatherstaff, but he didn't really understand."I believe that there is magic in everything." continued Colin. "Dickon knows some magic. He charms animals and people. Mary also knows a bit of magic because she was born in India. There's magic in the garden, too. I'm going to try and put some in me because I want to be well and strong. I'm going to say--Magic is in me! And you must all say it, too. That is my experiment. Are you going to help, Ben Weatherstaff?""Yes, sir!" answered Ben Weatherstaff.They sat down in a circle. The crow, the fox, the squirrels and the lamb were very curious."Now, let's begin," Colin said, and they all started chanting(吟唱)."Magic is in me. Magic is in me. Magic is in all of us."Then Colin stood up and walked round the garden. He went in front with Dickon on one side and Mary on the other. Ben Weatherstaff walked behind.Colin walked a bit then rested. Then he walked again and rested again. At first, he held Dick on’s arm, then he walked a few steps alone."I can walk! The magic worked!" he cried."What is the doctor going to say?" asked Mary."Nothing." Colin answered, "because we aren't going to tell him. No one must know that I can walk and run. It's a surprise for my father when he comes back to Misselthwaite.""He's going to think it's a dream," said Mary.(Adapted from The Secret Garden)33.

At times, we all want to look a bit more like someone else. However, the pictures we see on TV and social media can give us wrong ideas about how our bodies "should" look. The truth is that everybody is different - and that's a good thing. Accepting and feeling good about our bodies is really important for our self confidence. Body confidence is when someone accepts and behaves kindly towards their body. That includes our size and shape, skin color, appearance(外貌) and any physical disabilities. Jade Parnell from the Centre for Appearance Research(CAR), says that having body confidence is "about being accepting of your body and what it does for you".If you feel positively(积极地）about your body, you are more likely(可能）to take care of it. Research has even shown that you are more likely to take part in activities and perform well in school. However feeling agitated about your body could make you step back, do less well at school and even feel down. Parnell says that the cost of trying to achieve the "perfect" appearance is high. She says, "If you're spending a lot of time trying to look a certain way, you will have less time to spend with friends and to make important memories."It's important to remember that everybody is different. To develop a positive body image, Parnell says, "Try to talk positively about your own body and other people's bodies. Try not to pay too much attention to appearance. Instead, think about what your body does for you; do your legs make you run really fast?" She also suggests treating your body well by eating different kinds of foods, exercising to feel good and to have fun, and getting plenty of sleep. Remember that you are more than how you look.37. The writer thinks that the pictures on TV and social media ________.A．are perfect for people to follow B．may lead to wrong ideas of looksC．mean everyone is different D．show people how to behave kindly38. The underlined word “agitated” probably means “________”.A．certain B．serious C．careless D．worried39. Parnell will agree that you should ________.A．Accept your own body as it is B．try not to talk about others' bodiesC．spend more money on your appearance D．remember what you used to be like40. What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To encourage readers to take more exercise.B．To remind readers not to eat too much food.C．To lead readers to build up body confidence.D．To advise readers to treat their friends well.根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
