So in 2007, the city began a plan called Velib to improve the situation.Under the Velib plan people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first halfhour on the bike is free, but if you don’t return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. There are about 20，000 of them in the city, and around 1，450 bicycle statio ns.Paris is not the first city to have a plan like this. Lyon started a “free” bicycle plan many years ago. And not everybody thinks it’s a great idea. One Parisian said, “These bicycles are only for short journeys.”A city spokesman said, “The bicycle plan won’t solve all of traffic problems, of course. But it might reduce pollution levels in the air. Traffic, together with factory smog, is a big problem. Everyone knows about global warming. It’s because there’s so much pollution in the world. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too. There aren’t any simple solutions to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems of our environment will get worse.”1. The traffic problems of Paris include the following except ________．A. lots of traffic accidentsB. lots of carsC. lots of traffic jamsD. lots of pollution2. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is TRUE?A. There are about 20，000 bicycle stations in Paris.B. The bicycle is free and you needn’t pay for it.C. People can use a bicycle for as long as they want.D. People can leave the bicycle everywhere they want.3. Which city first started the “free” bicycle plan in French?A. Paris.B. Lyon.C. Bordeaux.D. Cannes.4. The global warming is mainly because of ________．A. a lot of trees disappearingB. plenty of smog in the skyC. people’s wrong behaviorD. so much pollution in the world5. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The pollution of Paris.B. The ways to solve the pollution.C. The number of bicycles in Paris.D. The bicycle plan of Paris for the traffic problem and pollution.BPainting and writing on walls is nothing new. In prehistoric (史前的) times, people in Africa and Europe painted pictures of animals and people in caves. Graffiti (涂鸦) has been found at ancient sites in Greece, Italy, Syria and Iraq. In the Roman town of Pompeii in Italy, archaeologists found a lot of graffiti written in Latin, including political and romantic messages, and even some magic spells!In the 1970s, young people in New York used pens to write their names, or “tags”, on walls around the city. One of the first “taggers” was Demetrius, a teenager from a Greek family. He wrote his tag on walls in his neighborhood and in subway stations on the way to school. Other teenag ers saw Demetrius’s tag and starte d writing their own tags on walls, buses and subway trains all over New York. Then, some teenagers stopped using pens and started using paints. Their tags were bigger and more colourful and appeared on trains, buses and walls around the world. In the 1990s and 2000s, a lot of graffiti artists started to make pictures too.In many countries, i t is a crime to paint on walls and s treet artists can have problems with the police. In other countries, street art is permitted in certain places. Nowadays, street art is more popular with the public. In some cities, there are street art festivals. In Bristol in the UK, there is a street art festival in August every year. Artists paint all the buildings in a street. Lots of people come to watch the artists and take photos. Street art can be seen in galleries (美术馆) too. There have been exhibitions of street art in galleries in Paris, London and Los Angeles.Most street artists are young people who paint in their neighborhood or home city. Many of them use the Internet to communicate and share photos of their pictures with other street artists around the world. Although we don’t know what will happen to street art in the future, we can be sure that it is here to stay!6. Graffiti in ancient times includes different kinds of themes EXCEPT .A. romantic messagesB. magic spellsC. animals and peopleD. names and tags7. Which is the correct order according to the passage?① Demetrius wrote his tags on walls.② Many graffiti artists made pictures too.③ Other teenagers wrote their own tags on walls.④ There have been exhibitions of street art in galleries.⑤ More colourful tags appeared on trains, buses and walls.A. ①③⑤②④B. ①③⑤④②C. ④③①②⑤D. ④①③②⑤8. What does “permitted” mean in Paragraph 3?A. protectedB. allowedC. punishedD. warned9. According to the passage, we can learn that .A. Demetrius was the first graffiti artistB. street art can be only seen in the streetC. street artists begin to share their works onlineD. Bristol holds a street art festival every September10. The main purpose of the article is .A. to tell why graffiti and street art will disappearB. to tell the development of graffiti and street artC. to tell what will happen to street art in the futureD. to tell the relationship between graffiti and street artCA teacher says music education in school has kind of turned into amusement.Classroom lessons focus heavily on pop while understanding the classical(古典的) art form and its history should be paid attention to. A professor in music and music education at the University of NSW, Robert Walker .argues that all students should study t he works of Western classical composers such as Haydn and Tchaikovsky.Professor Walker says students are missing out on an important part of the culture heritage(遗产)because they fail to study classical music ,as the little music that children learn at school is mainly pop. The lack(缺乏)of music teaching is serious, especially in government schools where there are not enough specialist(专业的) music teachers.A national review in 2005 made 15 suggestions ,but Professor Walker said it still failed to deal with the lack of classical music taught in schools.“I’m not against pop music, but it’s very simple and not difficult either to play or to sing,”ProfessorWalker says.”But classical music is challenging and although it is part of America’s culture heritage ,most children learn it only through Hollywood films.”“At least children ought to know what’s happening in Western culture .It’s part of culture heritage,”he says.”Asian students know more about Western classical music than most children in the West.”Professor Walker has taught music and music teachers in Britain , Canada and Australia and is a former chief(首席的) examiner for the International Baccalaureate and a former chairman of the research committee of the International Society for Music Education. Professor Walker says no school curriculum(课程) in Australia lists a piece of music that children should study, such as the Mendelssohn’s.“This lack of standard texts means that some children can be brought up totally on Western classical music,others on Elvis Presley,or on any music the teacher wants to teach .The situation should be changed as soon as possible,”he says.11.What’s the problem in music education in Professor Walker’s opinion?A.Children know nothing about their culture heritage.B.Classical music education isn’t valued in schools.C.Pop music is simple and not difficult to play and sing.D. Australia schools need more specialist music teachers.12. According to the passage, students should study classical music because it is ______.A. part of culture heritageB. good for their growing upC. difficult to play and singD. popular only in Asia13. According to the passage, which one is different from the other three?A. HaydnB. TchaikovskyC. MendelssohnD. Elvis Presley14. Which of the following statements is NOT true about Professor Walker?A. He worries about the music education in schools.B. He thinks pop music teaching shouldn’t be allowed.C. He is well known in Western classical music teaching.D. He has worked in Britain, Canada and Australia.15. From the last paragraph, we can learn that _____.A. music teachers should teach anything that they likeB. most children today are brought up by their music teachers.C. music teachers shouldn’t teach the music of Elvis Presley at allD. children’s music education today depends on their teacher’s taste四．七选五China’s national anthem(歌曲), March of the V olunteers, is a song that we learn at the beginning of primary school and sing at every flag-raising ceremony. 1._______________Last September, the government passed the National Anthem Law, which became effective(生效) from Oct 1, 2017.It tells us how we should sing or play the song, requiring all citizens to honor it.According to the new law, the anthem is only allowed to play on certain time and places, such as during important sporting events or when raising the national flag.2.___________Primary and middle schools must teach the anthem to their students and make them understand the songs spirit and history. Moreover, the law requires us to be serious when we are singing the song. 3._________. If someone breaks the law, he or she can be detained for up to 15 days, or face further punishment in more serious situations.4._________ . It is the symbol of our country. The law makes sure people will be more serious when playing or singing the song.5.___________ For example, American school children should put their right hand over their heart while singing their country’s anthem at school. In Russia, the national anthem must be played on television and radio before the start and end of broadcasting. And in the Philippines, people are required to sing the national anthem with feelings when it's played in public.A. It shouldn’t be played during private activities or as background music in public places.B. We can’t joke about it or change the songs words or musicC. Parents should educate kids to sing China’s national anthem correctly.D. And now, there's even a law to protect it.E. We can even sing March of the V olunteers from very young age.F. The national anthem is different from other songsG. Many foreign countries also have laws for their national anthems.五．书面表达假如你是王雪，你的美国笔友Cindy将要来中国，她发来电子邮件说想了解中国的一些风俗习惯。

His father was a composer who wrote a lot of music for films. But when the “cultural revolution” (文革) began, his father was sent to a farm to work. Ye was only 11 at that time. Ye had to work on another farm for a year before entering a factory. He worked in the factory for six years until he was 22.The workers in the factory were friendly and helped him a lot, but he could not play the piano anymore. No matter how hard he worked on the farm or in the factory, he always believed that he did not belong there. He never left music. He just waited for opportunities. He dreamed of becoming a pianist. When the “cultural revolution” ended, Ye could play the piano again.He practiced hard every day in order to go to the Central Conservatory of Music (中央音乐学院) in 1978, but the school would not recruit ( 招收) piano students that year.

But he was not a good artist, so he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.The next important date in the history of photography (摄影) was in 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called Daguerreotype.Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains.In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard. Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike (栩栩如生的).Photography also became a kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms.根据短文内容，回答下列问题。

Buy it on the Internet! Need it now? Why wait? Ask to receive it the next day! Each day, more and more people try on-line shopping. In fact, online sales have doubled in the last ten years. But not everyone is excited. Some scientists now say that online shopping is bad for the environment.People are surprised to hear this." They think, I don't need to drive, and the business doesn't need to build a store, so there will be less pollution," says Nuria Prost, an environmental scientist. "But it is not so simple. In fact, online shopping is wasteful. It also adds to air pollution."In truth, the Internet is not always as good a friend to the environment as it seems. For example, most people thought that the Internet would help offices use less paper and other materials. But paper use increased by33percent between 1986 and 1997."Online shopping could have similarly harmful results," says Nevil Cohen, a researcher of environmental science. Part of the problem is what people are buying these days. In the past, people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing material, such as books and clothing. But now people also shop online for large, heavy pro ducts such as televisions, computers, chairs and tables. These products need to be packed in lots of plastic and paper. This creates a lot of waste.Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution. When customers buy products and ask to receive them the next day, online businesses often have to send them by air. Airplanes use much more oil than cars and produce more carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）. When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses, this creates even more travel by airplane.Online product returns are also a problem. For example, an online shoe store may allow customers to return shoes for free if they are wrong size. This doubles the packing materials and number of airline trips required to sell one pair of shoes."If people want to protect the environment, they need to think before they shop," says Prost. "People need to ask themselves: Is this exactly what I want? Do I really need it tomorrow, or can I wait?" Online stores can also ask customers to pay money for returns. This may make people shop more carefully." Online shopping is fast and easy, "says Prost," but we can't forget the harmful result it has caused to the environment."（1）The passage begins with several questions to .A. introduce the main topicB. describe online shoppingC. show the writer's opinionD. list advantages of shopping（2）What is the passage mainly about?A. The Internet is not good to the environment.B. Online shopping causes more air pollution.C. Online shopping is bad for the environment.D. Stop online shopping to protect the environment.（3）Which of the following is to show that online shopping is wasteful?A. Large products need more packing materials.B. Paper use increased by 33 percent about ten years.C. Businesses need to build a store to sell the products.D. Online shopping costs less than shopping in a store.（4）What is probably the best title of the passage?A. A Good Deal to MakeB. A Different Lifestyle to KeepC. A Cleaner Way to ShopD. A New Business to Start（5）Which of the following shows the structure（结构）of the passage?（P=Paragraph）A.B.C.D.3．阅读理解My 14-year-old son, John, and I saw the coat at the same time in a second-hand clothing store. It stood out among big and old coats. It was so beautiful and had an unbelievable price, $ 28. I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but John's eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys, but new ones could cost several hundred dollars. This coat was even better. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. It fit him so well. John wore the coal to school the next clay. After he came home, I asked. "Did the kids like your coat?""They loved it," he said with a big grin.Over the next few weeks, John changed. He was polite, less argumentative, more thoughtful, and much happier. "Good dinner, Mom," he would say every evening. Without a word of complaining, he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said, "You're right. I guess I will." When I mentioned this change to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.John and I both know we should never judge a person by his clothes. But it is true that when wearing beautiful and suitable clothes, we may try to be better in thought, speech and behavior to match what is on the inside to what is on the outside.（1）What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. The price of the coat was too high.B. John liked the coat very much.C. They often went shopping together.D. The writer didn't want to buy the coat.（2）What did John use to do when he was asked to study?A. Start at once.B. Put off his homework.C. Work hard on schoolwork.D. Carry in wood for the stove.（3）Which of the following changes did NOT happen to John after he wore the coat?A. He was willing to follow suggestions.B. He often helped to do some housework.C. He always worried about his study.D. He said sweet words to make his mother happy.（4）What does the writer want to say through this passage?A. What we wear could help shape who we are inside.B. Life is full of possibilities when we are young.C. We should not judge people by their appearance.D. It's a good choice to try different things in our lives.4．阅读理解One Thursday afternoon, when I was in Grade 9, a new boy came into my classroom. He was short and thin. He walked up to the teacher and told her, very seriously, that he was new. His name was Christian. He sat down, took a look at me, and then looked away. I didn't think he was very nice and I was sure he wasn't the type I would like to become friends with.During that year, I didn't talk to him much, but he smiled at me when our eyes met, always shyly. He never ate lunch with anybody, and he never talked to anybody but me.But one day I joined those unkind kids who were making fun of him. We made fun of him though I thought it was wrong."Haven't you got any friends?" a kid asked Christian, who had walked past us alone, head down. "No, he hasn't got any friends. He's too stupid and shy," I said. Then Christian looked up at me with the saddest dog eyes I had ever seen. I felt very sorry at that moment.That night, I couldn't sleep because I couldn't get Christian's face out of my mind. In the weeks that followed, he never met my eyes in class and never smiled at me. It was really hard for me to decide to write him a note asking him to forgive （原谅） me. But I thought I should.The next day in class, I wrote him a note telling him how sorry I felt. About five minutes later, I turned and saw tears in his eyes. "You will never realize what your apology （道歉） has meant to me, Jimmy," he said to me. "I hope we can become friends."We had lunch together that noon and we had the best talk I had ever had. Over the years at high school, we were close friends.When I think back, I realize that, if I had not apologized, I would never have known what a lovely person Christian was!Apologies can really change your life, so never miss the chance to tell somebody you are sorry.（1）From the passage, we know Christian was a ________ boy.A. tall and fatB. short and shyC. short and activeD. lovely and fat（2）Jimmy felt ________ after he made fun of Christian with other unkind kids.A. happyB. interestedC. sorryD. bored（3）This passage tells us that ________.A. we should make an apology when we hurt othersB. Jimmy's apology was unimportant to ChristianC. Christian wasn't lovely in factD. it is impossible to say sorry to others5．阅读理解Big data（数据） is lot of sets of information that are put together so they can be used by a computer program. The computer program looks for different kinds of answers or patterns in the data. Big data can have different kinds of information from many sources, such as information that comes from schools, social media sites（社交媒体网站）, companies and governments.One set of data can have people's names and addresses. Another set can have what they like, where they go to school, and how much time they spend on the computer.Big data can be used in many ways. The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains. This information is then used to make bus or train systems better. Some schools use big data to understand which children may need more help in class. The teacher can then give certain students more help or support so those students can succeed in school. Companies use big data, too. It helps them understand who buys their products. For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream.Big data can be used for good reasons. Some hospitals use big data to predict if a baby who is born too early will get sick. The hospital can then take extra steps to take care of that baby so he, she does not get sick. Big data can also be used for bad reasons. It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong.How can big data be used for good and bad things? It is because the computer programs used to look at big data and understand it are written by people. People think a certain way. Because they think a certain way, they build a model of those ideas. These ideas are then used to look at the data. Sometimes, these ideas are helpful for people or businesses. Other times, bad ideas can cause problems for certain groups of people.（1）This reading is about ______.A. what big data is and how it is usedB. what schools and hospitals people likeC. where important data is collected and storedD. how big data is controlled by governments and companies（2）One company uses weather information to ______.A. help children in needB. know when people will visit the hospitalC. find out who tides the bus or trainD. understand when people will need ice cream （3）The main idea of Paragraph 3 is ____.A. big data can be used for good reasonsB. we can use big data in a number of waysC. big data can be used for both good and bad reasonsD. we can use big data to stop babies from getting sick（4）The overall tone （总基调） of this reading is _________.A. sad and personalB. personal and scientificC. informative but sillyD. scientific and informative6．阅读理解I'm sure most people like music.

Vanuatu's islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano（火山） surfing and land diving.Volcano Surfing On Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises 361 metres into the sky.

Then Miriam and her mother visited Africa to learn how the group was helping elephants. Later, Miriam fell in love with the animals and wanted to help save them.A few months after visiting Africa, Miriam watched How I Became an Elephant, a film about the mistreatment of elephants in Thailand, and a young girl's effort to save them. Miriam decided she wanted to raise money to save elephants.Last year, Miriam created a program called They Deserve（应得） to Be Free after seeing how young elephants are abused in Thailand. She learned how people take a baby elephant, don't give it food or water for days and beat it hard. "It made me really sad. I need to do something useful." Miriam said.Miriam is working to make money for Elephant Nature Park in Thailand. She asked her friends to give money to the park rather than giving her birthday gifts.She recently joined about 12 other students in an art center. They made elephants from clay and decorated（装饰） them.

She has a bionic(电子操控的)arm.Now, Kitts runs a day-care center. Children run up to her happily as she comes into the classroom. She bends over to talk with a small girl. As she bends, Kitts puts her hands on her knees. For most people, this would be easy. However, just a few years ago, this was impossible for Kitts.In 2006, Kitts was in a car accident. A truck crushed(挤坏) her left arm and the doctor had to cut it off. “I was angry, sad, depressed. I just couldn’t accept it,” she says. But then she heard about a new technique that could use the remaining nerves(神经) in her shoulder to control an artificial arm.In a difficult operation, a doctor moved Kitts’s nerves to different areas of her upper-arm muscles. For months, the nerves grew. Millimeter by millimeter, they moved deeper into their new homes. “At three months I started feeling little tingles and twitches(刺痛和抽搐),”she said. A month later, she got her first bionic arm. A research engineer worked with Kitts to make the computer programs match her real movements more and more closely.Today, Kitts’s arm is great, but it’s not yet perfect. She wants feeling in her hands. For example, she needs to feel whether something is rough or smooth. She also needs feeling to do one of her favorite things—drink coffee. “The problem with a paper coffee cup is that my hand will close until it gets a solid grip,” she says. One time at a coffee shop, her hand kept closing until it crushed the cup. But Kitts says positively, ”One day I’ll be able to feel things with it...and clap my hands...to the songs my kids are singing.”6.What is the difference between Kitts and normal people?A.She has a bionic arm.B.She can bend.C.She can put her hands on her knees.7.Kitts got her first bionic arm after the difficult operation.A.almost three monthsB.over one monthC.more than four months8.Kitts is able to with her bionic hand.A.clap her handsB.hold thingC.feel rough or smooth things9.Kitts’s attitude toward h er new arm is.A.positiveB.angryC.perfect10.Choose the right order of the events.①Kitts heard about a new technique.②Kitts crushed a paper coffee cup.③Kitts had two human arms.④A truck hit Kitts’s car.⑤Kitts got her first bionic arm.⑥D octors moved some of the nerves in Kitts’s arm.A.④-①-⑥-⑤-②-③B.③-④-⑤-①-②-⑥C.③-④-①-⑥-⑤-②二、任务型阅读(2019河南安阳一模)When watching a soccer game or a basketball match, you might hear people encouraging their favorite team by shouting things like “come on” or “go for it”. 1Recently, “add oil”, a direct translation of “jiayou”, was added to the online Oxford English Dictionary.2 It is believed to have originated(起源于)as a cheer at the Macao Grand Prix during the 1960s.Chinese people are excited that Chinese phrases like these are getting recognition. “OED is recognizing the legitimacy(合法性)of our English. 3”Wee Lian Hee, professor of language studies at Baptist University’s English Department, told the South China Morning Post.4 Words can be added as long as they are understood by readers without the need for an explanation of its meaning. New words are also requ ired to have been used over a “reasonable amount of time” before being added. The process of adding words can be long and careful.5Let’s take a look.Hongbao: A traditional gift of money presented in a red envelope.Jiaozi:A crescent-shaped dumpling made of thin pastry(面团).Wuxia:A type of fiction or cinema featuring ancient Chinese warriors.根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使短文意思通顺,内容完整。
