For a long time, they are very helpful. They carry big trees, take people from place to place, and are even used in wars.Some people think it’s not easy to hurt an elephant because its skin is thick and hard. In fact, that’s wrong. Sometimes, a needle can also be very dangerous for the elephant.People say elephants are afraid of mice. This is wrong, too. In fact, elephants have very poor eyesight, so they usually cannot see a mouse even if one comes very close to them. If a person has a good memory, people will say that he has an elephant memory. However, up to now, no study shows that elephants have a better memory than any other animal.People also believe that when it is time for elephants to die, they will hide themselves in a so-called “elephant graveyard”. Often, hunters try to find such places to get ivories（象牙）, but few people really find places like that. In fact, when elephants are old or get sick, they will stay in deep and secret caves until they get better or die.26．What can’t elephants help people do?A．Carry heavy trees.B．Help people build houses.C．Carry people to different places.D．Help people fight in the war. 27．Which of the following is TRUE about elephants?A．Elephants are afraid of mice.B．Elephants have very poor memory. C．Elephants cannot see very clearly.D．Elephants never go to caves. 28．What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “graveyard”?A．A place for hiding dead bodies.B．A place for animals to play in.C．A place with yards and flowers.D．A place where elephants are safe. 29．What will elephants do when they get sick?A．They will go to see a doctor.B．They will ask other animals for help.C．They will ask humans for help.D．They will stay in deep caves themselves.30．What is the main idea of this article?A．Elephants are man’s best friends.B．Different countries have different elephants.C．Elephants are the world’s biggest animals on land.D．Some of our ideas about elephants are not correct.BEverybody will have some health problems. Here are Mr. Black's problems and his doctor's advice. I hope they can help you.Mr. Black's problemsMy name is David Black. I live in a small house. I never go out when the weather is cold or hot, because I am worried I'll have a cold. I don't go out often because I don't want to talk with others. I hardly exercise, but sometimes I take a walk in my garden. After I walk for a few minutes, I have to take a rest. I am always very weak and tired. I often have a headache but I don't want to see a doctor. What should I do?Dr. Smith's adviceTraditional Chinese doctors believe we need a balance of yin and yang to be healthy. I think you have too much yin because you are always worried about something and you don't like going out or talking with others. I think you should eat some yang foods, like beef and you need to exercise more. Also, talking with others can make you feel relaxed. And if you don't feel very well, it's important for you to go to see a doctor. And you will feel better after you take some Chinese medicine.31．The underlined word "they" in Paragraph 1 refers to "______".A．Mr. Black and Dr. Smith B．only Mr. Black's problemsC．only Dr. Smith's advice D．Mr. Black's problems and Dr. Smith's advice 32．Mr. Black doesn't go out when the weather is cold or hot, because he is worried ______.

How much do you know about haze? Haze can also be called "Smog". The word "smog" is from the words "smoke" and "fog". It first appeared in the early 20th century. It is a kind of air pollution caused mostly by cars and factories.Smog will do great harm to your health, especially lungs (肺). It can make you cough and cause skin and eye problems. It seems that we can do nothing to stop it, but only wait until the wind blows all the smog away. However, there are some easy ways to prevent it hurting you.1. Don't do exercise in the open.Exercising in the open makes you breathe deeply, and you will take in the particles deep into your lungs.2. Stay indoors and keep the air clean.If you can, just stay in your room and keep the doors and windows closed. Remember to air your room twice a day, you can open the window at noon or at night for half an hour.3. Wear a mask.Paper and cotton masks cannot help you in the haze weather. Some special masks, such as N95 masks, can keep you from breathing in the particles in the air.4. Change your diet.Scientists find that vitamin A, C and E can greatly help protect your eyes, nose and lungs.So eat more green vegetables and fresh fruit every day. What's more, do not eat food with too much fat , it's bad for your lungs.If you follow these things, I believe you will be healthy根据短文内容，回答下列问题。

The average temperature there is about minus 25 degrees Celsius all the year. But now scientists from all over the world come to study the ice to learn more about the Earth's history. Some of them live on Antarctica for part of the year.

It snows on the ice in winter, but at other times Antarctica is dry, just like the Sahara Desert.In winter, the sea around Antarctica freezes for thousands of kilometers. But the Earth is getting warmer. So in the future, the Antarctic sea may be covered with less ice.

When she finished doing it, she walked me out to the front desk. She told Grandma I would have to come back in two weeks to have my braces checked. "Sounds like she put a washing machine in your mouth, doesn't it, Amy?" joked Grandma. Then Dr Hill gave me an appointment(预约)for 2:30 pm on 26th October. Oh, well, I guess getting out of school early to see Dr Hill will be one good thing about having braces.Other things aren't so good. When I woke up this morning, my mouth really hurt.I couldn't eat any bread or meat. Finally Mum mashed(捣烂) a banana and mixed it with some milk and honey, which tasted good.At school, my friends tried to be nice about my braces. Benny said he could hardly notice them unless I smiled. (Note to myself: Try not to smile too much)Angel said they made me look more grown-up. And Keith thanked me for joining him. He said my braces looked nicer than his.Of course, Charlie had mean things to say. First he called me Brace Face, and then he called me Metal Mouth.

And what do astronauts do there?Astronauts living in space have the same hygiene needs as people do on Earth. When they wake up, they wash their face, brush their teeth and go to the bathroomas well. However, because of microgravity(微重力), astronauts take care of themselves in different ways. For example, they use a kind of special matter to wash their hair and leg restraints(腿部固定装置) to position themselves when they use the toilet.Astronauts eat three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some foods canbe eaten in the natural form such as fruit. Other foods require adding water such as noodles. There are no fridges in space, so space food must be stored and prepared properly to avoid going bad.Besides morning routine(常规)and eating in space, astronauts perform many tasks including checking the machines, updating computer equipment(更新电脑设备), etc. At the same time, the control centre on Earth sends messages to the astronauts through voice or email with new instructions to help them in their daily routines.What's more, living in space is not just all work and no play. A popular way of relaxations is looking out of the window. And they can also enjoy themselves by watching movies, reading books, playing cards and talking to their families during their free time.31.The underlined word "hygiene" in this passage probably means "" in Chinese.A. 卫生B. 饮食C. 心理D. 情绪32.As for eating in space, which statement is NOT true?A.

At the moment we're staying near Uluru—that's the Aboriginal(土著) name for Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a balloon tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it is. It is 3.6 kilometers long and 384 meters high. The colours of the rock are fantastic. And at different times of the day, the colour changes. The Aborigines are the first people of Australia, and the ancient Aboriginal stories describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a center of Aboriginal culture.The Australians have many British relatives and they're like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drinks that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but football is the most popular. Most Australians live near the coast, so they also love going to the beach, swimming and surfing.Although it's December, it's summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and the countryside near the coast is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback(澳洲内陆)is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel(骆驼)ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper. When I sat on its back, it became very angry. So everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel lay down.Finally, later this evening, we're taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home. It's been a fantastic trip!Best wishes!Yours,Tony 26. Which is NOT true according to the first paragraph?A. Uluru is the name for Ayers Rock.B. The height of Uluru is 384 meters.C.

Space is not only amazing but also dangerous.While working in space, spacemen are facing danger. Scientists have found that radiation(辐射)is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The damage done by radiation won't be discovered until their children or even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but there's no really helpful medicine.(42)Space junk is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen. It's reported that there are 9, 000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are man-made satellites(卫星). 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space junk. An explosion(爆炸)in 1996 made a cloud of 300, 000 fragments(碎片). Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working on helpful ways to deal with space junk.Although space is really dangerous, (43) it interests everyone on the earth. In the near future, it may become usual for people to spend a few days in space. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space for a fewyears. So we should care for space and do something to help improve the space environment.41. According to the passage, about ________ man-made things in space are space junk. (填数字)42.
