I'm also going to brush my teeth after meals every day and wash my hands after going to the bathroom(卫生间).My name is Tina. I'm going to meet more people and make more friends. I'm also going to be nicer to other kids in my class. I'm going to be more friendly to shy kids who need friends.I'm Tony. I'll never give out personal information such as my name, home address, school name and telephone number on the Internet.

More tha n one in ten adults said they regularly won’t say thank you if they are in a bad mood. Most people stated that saying thank you was something that their parents trained them. A huge 70 percent of those questioned will say thank you to a person’s face witho ut even meaning it, while one fifth avoid(避免)saying it when they know they should.It seems our friends and family get the stress of our bad manners. Half of them admit (承认) they’re not good at thanking those closest to them. Many of them explain that they don’t say thank you because their family “already know I’m grateful”.When spoken words won’t do, it falls to a nice text to do the job for most people.One third will still send a handwritten thank-you note---but 45 percent admit it’s been more than six months since theytried to send one.A quarter of British people say “thank you” with food, with 23 percent cooking a meal to show their appreciation to someone. Another 15 percent bake a cake.It follows that 85 percent of people will be angry because of not getting the gratitude (感激)they feel they should receive.1．（小题1）Most of the people who took part in the survey say that they say “thank you” _______.A．when they are in good moodB．completely out of habitC．when they feel truly gratefulD．purely out of politeness2．（小题2）The underlined word “ditched” in Paragraph 1 means “________”.A．gave up B．usedC．shared D．knew3．（小题3）It can be learned from the passage that _______.A．different ways of expressing gratitude are all fashionableB．people shoul d avoid saying “thank you” nowadaysC．a thank-you note is still appreciated by most peopleD．people in a bad mood never say “thank you”4．（小题4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Most people express their gratitude to others by buying food for them.B．About fifty percent of people try not to say thank you when they should.C．Most people may feel natural when they fail to receive others’ gratitude.D．Many people think it unnecessary to say thanks to their family members.C15、Have you ever wanted to grow your own food inside your home? Scientists in Finland have developed a device(设备) that may do just that.Unlike a usual vegetable garden, it doesn’t need soil. But, the small device, called the Cell Pod, grows plant cells which are safe to eat in the home.Lauri Reuter, a biologist, says that instead of using the complete plant as food, scientists take only a small part ofit–cells–and grow them in a bio-reactor(生物反应器). These plants have much of the same nutritional(营养的) value that a real plant has. The plant cells which are safe to eat, once fully grown, do not look very good. The Finnish researchers say they also need to improve the taste. However, the Cell Pod can provide important things that help your body to be healthy.Lauri Reuter adds that the new technology will not be instead of fields for growing fruits and vegetables. However, the device could help save natural resources. All you would need to do is add the seed culture(培养物) to the device, give it water, sit back and then wait. The machine does the rest of the work.The researchers hope to have a form of the Cell Pod on the market in the next ten years.1．If you want to grow vegetables inside your home, you need __________.A．real plants and water B．the seed culture and the Cell PodC．the cells and the soil D．the complete plant and the device2．What can we learn from the passage?A．The plant cells are more delicious than the real plants.B．People will not grow fruit and vegetables in the fields.C．The plant cells are not only healthy but good-looking.D．People may buy the Cell Pod on the market in the future.3．What does the writer think of the Cell Pod?A．It is a usual vegetable garden at home.B．It is a new useful device for growing food.C．It is a difficult way of growing plants.D．It can provide all the nutrition for our body.D16、When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive. One of my father’s friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place. We’ d sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal.Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we’d bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest.Bernie was my father’s idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Yearslater, I realized tha t it was not Bernie’s wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don’t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life’s small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.For man y years, I forgot that lesson I’d learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.Well, I’ve relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That’s the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.1．We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling ______.A．relaxed B．worried C．hungry D．proud2．How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon?A．They ate it in a polite way. B．They only ate its best part.C．They ate every part of it. D．They shared only one piece.3．In the eyes of the writer’s father, Bernie ______.A．was just a rich businessman B．worked hard all the timeC．lived a rich but healthy life D．knew how to make money4．The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to ______.A．the best part of the watermelon B．the writer’s busy lifeC．the writer’s decision of making money D．the writer’s hope of enjoying life5．It can be learned from the passage that ______.A．one has to work hard to reach his goal B．a friend in need is a friend in deedC．watermelon is the healthiest fruit D．one should keep work-life balanceE17、A sunflower is a sunflower. A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you combine the two to do something for your local environment? As early as next year it may well be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone you will be able to bury (埋葬) it in the garden and wait for it to flower（开花）. A biodegradable (生物可降解的) mobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage users to recycle. Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic and can be hard or soft, and able to change shape. Overtime it can also break down into the soil without giving out any poisonous（有毒的）chemicals. British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that includes a sunflower seed .When thisnew type of cover turns into waste, it forms nitrates (硝酸盐). These feed the seed and help the flower grow. Engineers have designed a small transparent (透明的) window to hold the seed. They have made sure it only grows when the phone is thr own away. “We’ve only put sunflower seeds into the cover so far. But we are working with scientists to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time.” said one scientist.As phone technology is developing so quickly, people are constantly（不断）throwing their mobiles away. This means producers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them. Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal and chemical waste to the environment.A biodegradable cover can change this, according to the scientists.根据短文内容，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳答案。

They ate all that they could find, and then moved on. Then around 10,000 years ago, about 1% of human history, people learned to farm the land.The kind of food we eat depends on which part of the world we live in, or which part of our country we live in. For example, in the south of China they eat rice, but in the north they eat noodles. In European countries near the sea, people eat a lot of fish. In central Europe, away from the sea, people don’t eat so much fish, but they eat more meat. For example, in Germany and Poland, there are hundreds of different kinds of sausages.In North America, Australia, and Europe, people eat with knives and forks. In China, people eat with chopsticks. In parts of India and the Middle East, people use their fingers to pick up food.Nowadays it is possible to transport food easily from one part of the world to another. We can eat whatever we like, at any time of the year. In Britain, bananas come from Africa; rice comes from India or the U.S.A．; strawberries come from Chile or Spain. Food is a very big business. But people in poor countries are still hungry while people in rich countries eat too much.1．10,000 years ago, people ______ .A．learned to farm the landB．cooked different kinds of foodC．couldn’t find food around themD．transported food from one country to another2．In North America, Australia, and Europe, people ______ .A．eat with chopsticks B．eat with knives and forksC．use their fingers to pick up food D．use bread to pick up food3．______ have many kinds of sausages.A．Chile and Spain B．America and AustraliaC．China and Japan D．Germany and Poland4．Which of the following is NOT true?A．What we eat depends on where we live.B．Poor countries are still having food problems.C．Rich countries don’t need food from others.D．Nowadays we can eat whatever we like at any time of the year.B14、Many people keep small fish as pets. They keep them in a tank of water. The tank is made of clear glass. People can look through it. They can see inside the tank and watch the fish.The fish need room. They must not be crowded. Fish need oxygen(O2) to breathe. Fish get it from water in the tank. There must be enough water for all fish. So the size of the tank is important.In the tank many people put small plants that are good for fish. They give oxygen to the water. Plants help in other ways, too. Fish can nibble（轻咬）on the plants. They hide among the plants and sleep, lay eggs there.The plants need light. Most fish need light too. The tank may be put near a window. It will get light there. Another place might be better, though. A window may let cold air in. The water in the tank may get too cold. The fish may die because cold water can kill them. So can hot water. The temperature must be just right.The fish must be kept in water all the time. Some fish can jump high. They may jump out of the tank. The tank should be covered. This keeps the fish from jumping out.The fish need food and they should be fed every day. Giving them too much food is bad. The extra（额外的）food will fall to the bottom and make the water dirty. However, the fish should get just enough food.They should finish the food in 10 minutes. Nothing should be left. When this happens, the amount（数量）of food is right.1．A tank near the window may NOT be good for pet fish because __________.A．no air can get in through the window B．pet fish will jump out of the windowC．plants in the tank will grow too big D．cold air may make the water too cold2．__________ is the least important to pet fish.A．Water temperature B．SunlightC．The amount of food D．The size of the tank3．Which of the following may cause pet fish to die?A．Too little room for fish.

When they got on the bus, they were carrying sandwiches and wine, dreaming of golden beaches and sea tides as the gray cold of New Y ork disappeared behind them.As the bus passed through New Jersey, they began to notice Vingo, He sat in front of them, dressed in a common suit, never moving, his dusty face masking his age. He kept chewing(咀嚼) the inside of his lip a lot, frozen into complete silence.Deep into the night, the bus pulled into Howard Johnson’s, and everybody got off except Vingo. He sat in his seat, and the young people began to wonder about him, perhaps he was a sea captain, a runaway from his wife, an old soldier going home. When they went back to the bus, one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself.“We’re going to Florida,” she said brightly, “I hear it’s really beautiful.”“It is, ”he said quietly, as if remembering something he had tried to forget.“Want some wine?” she said. He smiled and took a swig. He thanked her and once again returned to his silence. After a while, she went back to the others, and Vingo nodded in his sleep.In the morning, they awoke outside another cafe. And this time Vingo went in. The girl insisted that he join them. He seemed very shy, and ordered black coffee and smoked nervously as the young people talked about sleeping on beaches. When they returned to the bus, the girl sat with Vingo again, and after a while, slowly and painfully, he began to tell his story. He had been in jail in New York for the past four years, and now he was going home.“Are you married?”“I don’t know.“You don’t know?” she said.“Well, when I was in prison I wrote to my wife, ”he said. “I told her that I was going to be away a long time, and that if she couldn’t stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, she could just forget me, I’d understand. Get a new husband, I said-she’s a wonderful woman-and forget about me. I told her she didn’t have to write to me. And she didn’t. Not for three and a half years.”“And you’re going home now, not knowing?”“Yeah,” he said shyly. “Well, last week, I was set free, I wrote her again. We used to live in Brunswick, and there’s a big oak (橡树) tree just in front of the town. I told her that if she didn’t have a new family and she’d take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and I’d get off and come home, If she didn’t want me, forget it, no handkerchief, and I’d go on through.”She told the others, and noon all of them were in it. As the bus came near Brunswick, Vingo showed them a picture of his wife and three children-the woman was beautiful and the children were cute.Now they were 20 miles from Brunswick, and the young people took over window seats, waiting for the appearance of the great oak tree. Vingo stopped looking, tightening his face10 miles, 5 miles,…. Then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and shouting and crying. All except Vingo. Vingo sat there nervously, looking at the oak tree. It was covered with yellow handkerchiefs, 20 of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds, blowing in the wind. As the young people shouted, Vingo slowly rose from his seat and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.1．According to the passage, which statement is TRUE?A．The young people are traveling from Florida to New York.B．At last, Vingo went home together the three boys and three girls.C．Vingo was put in prison ten years ago, and now he was set free to go home.D．The young people around Vingo were quite curious about his silence.2．From the underlined sentence in Para 2, we can infer thatA．Vingo was very shy because he knew someone was watching himB．Vingo was very di sappointed because his wife didn’t answer his letterC．Vingo was excited because he could go home and meet his wife and childrenD．Vingo was nervous because he didn’t know whether his wife would accept him3．Which word do you think can best describe Vingo’s wife according to the passage?A．loyal B．bright C．generous D．helpful4．After reading the whole story, we can probably make a conclusion thatA．Don’t laugh at a person who has no homeB．Home is always the first place a person wants to goC．When others are in trouble, we should help themD．Y oung people are always curious about everything new around them5．What’s the best title for the passage?A．The power of love B．Help from strangersC．Going home D．A story of poor manD16、The other day I came across a few local musicians and happened to hear them talking:"I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can't even understand a bit of music.""I'm never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us."But one younger musician said, "There are a few clubs that book my band (乐队) a few nights a month, and I'm trying to find other places to play. I'm also looking forward to booking a few summer festivals this year."It's said that you are the average (平均) of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.Attitudes（态度）are important. Whether they're positive(积极的)or negative (消极的),_____________If you're always around people who complain about short of work and about other musicians or say bad words about others, and you play the role of a victim, it's possible that you will start to as well. So it's time to take a look at the people you call "friends", as what kind of friends you have decides what kind of life you are going to live.This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you often go out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and don't become friends with people who fall below that standard.Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it and learn from them. Ask if they will help you get the work you're looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.1．The musicians' words at the beginning are written mainly to show_______.A．the musicians live a poor lifeB．people have poor taste in musicC．people have different attitudes towards the same thingD．young people have greater chances of succeeding2．The underlined sentence "they'll rubbing off on you" in Paragraph 6. means_______.A．they'll push you aheadB．they'll have an influence on youC．they'll cover your feelingsD．they'll help you succeed3．By taking the exercise mentioned in Paragraph 7, you can_______.

In 1948 they owned a restaurant in California. They liked working in the restaurant, but they got tired of the customers(顾客) ordering so many different things to eat.“If we gave customers a smaller menu(菜单), we could make some of the food before they came, and they wouldn’t have to wait so long for their meals,” said one of the brothers. The other brother agreed and said, “If we made the customers come to the counter(柜台), we wouldn’t need any waiters and waitresses(女服务员). We could also use plastic plates so there wouldn’t be any washing-up.”These were such good ideas that the McDonald’s brothers used them, and the customers were very pleased. They got their meals very quickly – in less than a minute – and they paid only 15 cents(分) for hamburgers and 10 cents forfries(油炸食品). The first McDonald’s restaurant had no seats for customers to sit on. This meant that people had to take their food away, and that no one had to clean up any tables after them.Then a man called Ray Kroc came to the brothers and asked to buy their business. They agreed to sell it to him for $27 million. After that, people paid Ray Kroc to open their own restaurants using the McDonald’s name and menu. Before long, there were McDonald’s restaurants all over the Unite d States, and nowadays, they are all over the world – even in China and Russia. The most successful McDonald’s business is in Hong Kong of China. The Hong Kong McDonald’s sells more hamburgers every day than any other McDonald’s anywhere else in the world.McDonald’s restaurants are so successful because children love going to them. They like the food, and they like the toys and games they can get at McDonald’s.1．The McDonald brothers offered customers fewer kinds of foods so that _____.A．they didn’t need waiters or waitressesB．they could use plastic platesC．customers could get their meals quicklyD．customers would pay less.2．Customers“paid only 15 cents for hamburgers”means the hamburgers were___.A．expensive B．newC．cheap D．worth a lot less3．Th e first McDonald’s customers took their food away because_____.A．They wanted to eat it quicklyB．they did not want a large menuC．There were no seats in the restaurantD．they wanted to eat at home4．Nowadays, the owners of McDonald’s restaurants pay for ____.A．the McDonald’s name and menuB．children to play gamesC．people to take the food awayD．customers to eat quickly5．This story mainly tells us ____.A．a restaurant in California in 1948.B．how Ray Kroc made money for the McDonald brothers.C．where McD onald’s restaurants are in the world.D．how the McDonald’s business started and grew.Ⅴ.书面表达19、书面表达越来越多汽车进入我们的家庭生活，改善了我们的生活，但同时也带来了很多问题，如塞车和车祸，给家庭和社会带来极大的危害。

He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain t hat my agent didn’t care about my work, and he didn’t care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?”At that time I didn’t realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, snatched the phone, tore off the wires (电线), and shouted at the phone, “Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone!” And she swept it into the wastebasket.I stood watching her, speechless, what on earth…?Sh e stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this! All things in this room — if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go! ”Then she turned to me, kissed me and said calmly, “Honey, you just have to learn how to take control.” With that, she left the room.After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my mood (情绪) had changed. I was laughing. How could she have trouble with that phone? Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.1．Why did the writer shout, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are”?A．He was impatient with the phone.B．He was impatient with the secretary.C．He was mad at the telephone.D．He was angry with his agent.2．The underlined word “antics" means _________.A．surprising looksB．sweet kisses and smart wordsC．strange and funny behaviorD．reliable suggestion3．We can infer (推测) from the passage that _________.A．The secretary didn’t care about the writerB．the writer sometimes couldn’t control himse lf wellC．the agent was not responsible for his own workD．the writer’s wife was not intelligentB14、Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. “Football, tennis, cricket — anything with a round ball, I was use less,” he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in Devonshire, England.It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set up his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon.The following year he met John Ridgway and started to work as a teacher at Ridgway’s school of adventure（冒险）in Scotland, where he learnt about Ridgway’s cold—waterexploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures; he decided that this would be his future.In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first long—distance expedition (探险) towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite, ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit, pulling his sled up and over the rocky mountains.Saunders has become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he’s skied more of the North Pole by himself than any other British man. His old playmates would not believe the change.1．According to Paragraph 2, what changed Saunders?A．A friend’s words.B．A mountain bike.C．His 18th birthday gift. D．His first marathon.2．What did Saunders do in 2001?A．He decided to build up his body.B．He met John Ridgway in Scotland.C．He worked as a teacher at school.D．He took an adventure to the North Pole.3．What does the story mainly tell us about Saunders?A．He is a success in sports.B．He is the youngest British skier.C．He is Ridgway’s best student.D．He is a good teacher at school.C15、Vanuatu is an island nation in the South Pacific. It is one of the smallest countries in the world. But for those who are interested in adventure and sport, there is a lot to do. Vanuatu’s islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano（火山）surfing and land diving.Volcano SurfingOn Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises 300 meters into the sky. Yasur is an active volcano, and it erupts（爆发）almost every day, sometimes several times a day. For centuries, people have climbed this mountain to visit the top. Recently, people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano. In some ways, volcano surfing is like surfing in the sea, but in other ways it’s very different. Volcano surfers try to escape the erupting volcano—without getting hit by flying rocks! It’s fast, fun and dangerous—the perfect extreme sport（极限运动）.Land DivingMost people are familiar with bungee jumping, but do you know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu and is almost fifteen centuries old? The activity, first called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony（宗教仪式）. A man ties tree vines（树藤）to his legs. He then jumps head-first from a high tower to touch the earth with the top of his head—without breaking the vine. Every spring, island natives (men only) still take part in this amazing activity. 1．In Line 2, what does the word “those” mean?A．People. B．Animals.C．Activities. D．Islands.2．According to the passage, Mount Yasur ______.A．is no longer active B．is on Pentecost IslandC．erupts almost every day D．rises 800 meters into the sky3．Why have people recently started climbing Mount Yasur?A．People can climb it easily.B．People can make money.C．People can watch snow on it.D．People can surf the volcano.4．Which of the following about land diving is true?A．It is not dangerous at all.B．It was first called “bungee jumping”.C．It is a traditional activity in Vanuatu.D．It came to Vanuatu from another country.5．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To tell people not to do dangerous sports.B．To explain what volcano surfing and land diving are.C．To talk about the world’s best volcano surfer and land diver.D．To compare activities in Vanuatu with sports in New Zealand.D16、When US student Olivia Priedeman, 17, woke up one morning, she thought she had had a dream about making plans with a friend.But it wasn’t a dream. Her phone showed that during the night, Priedeman had read a text message from her friend. She did it while she was fast asleep.Reading and sending text messages while asleep—c alled “sleep texting”—is an unusual sleep behaviour, similar to sleepwalking. It’s also a growing concern(关心的事) among doctors: young people can’t live without their cell phones. One in three teenagers sends more than 100 text messages a day, according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project. And at least four out of five teenagers said they sleep with their phone on or near their bed.Elizabeth Dowdell, a professor at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, has studied sleeping texting. She said that having a phone nearby all night is a big part of the problem.Andrew Stiehm, a sleep medicine expert with Allina Health in Minnesota, agrees. It’s possible for the part of the brain that controls motor skills (动作技能) to wake up, while the part of the brain that controls memory and judgment(判断) may be still asleep. That’s why some people can perform basic movements ---such as walking, talking, texting or even driving—while they’re sleeping. Some of Dowdell’s students said that they’re disturbed by their nighttime texting behavior. But because sleep texting is unconscious, it’s a difficult habit to break. Dowdell said she knows of some students who wear socks on their hands to keep themselves from texting.Marjorie Hogan, a doctor at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, suggests keeping all electronic devices(电子设备) outside the bedroom at certain times.1．What happened to Olivia Priedeman?A．She sleepwalked to a friend’s house.B．She dreamed of making plans with a friend.C．She phoned one of her friends during the night.D．She read a text message from her friend while asleep.2．. Which part the brain controls keeps awake while asleep?A．judgment B．languageC．memory D．motor skills3．What does the underlined word “unconscious” mean?A．无法B．无意识的C．无反应的D．无规律的4．. What does doctor Hogan suggest people who sleep text do?A．Stop text during the daytime.B．Take some medicine to control the behaviour.C．Keep their phones out of their bedrooms while they sleep.D．Wear socks on their hands to stop themselves from texting.5．We can learn from the passage that ________.A．It’s easy to give up a sleep texting habit.B．One in three teenagers has a sleep texting habit.C．Sleep texting can reduce the quality of one’s sleep.D．Sleep texting does more har m to one’s health than sleepwalking.E17、When people think of water buffaloes, they often imagine wild and dangerous animals. But unless they are hurt or angered, water buffaloes are probably the gentlest farm animals in the world. Though they look scary, they are much like household pets. Unlike cattle（黄牛）, they are quiet and have a natural fondness for humans.Water buffaloes are so patient and gentle that there is no need to control them during milking. Because of the animal’s calm nature, water buffaloes almost never have their horns(角) taken off. However, most cattle which are raised for their milk will have their horns taken off, when they are young. It will prevent them from hurting one another when they grow up.Another common wrong idea is that water buffaloes can be raised only near water. Though they love to roll in muddy water, water buffaloes usually live and have babies in situations where there is not enough water to do this. However, several researchers report that water buffaloes who roll in muddy water do not need to be treated with insecticides(杀虫剂) because the mud (烂泥) coating that forms on their skin protects them from insects and parasites(寄生虫). Another untrue belief about water buffaloes is that they can live only in tropical (热带的)areas. Actually, buffaloes are able to live in a wide range of climates. Although they are most common in the tropics, water buffaloes were used to pull snowplows(雪犁) in parts of Europe many years ago.1．Why are water buffaloes’ horns not taken off ?A．They don’t use their horns to attack.B．They can’t have babies without the horns.C．Taking the horns off is dangerous to humans.D．Taking their horns off can kill the buffaloes.2．The writer seems to think that most cattle_______.A．don’t give milk B．are not gentleC．make good pets D．like people3．According to the passage, how can rolling in muddy water help water buffaloes?A．It protects them from parasites.B．It washes insecticides off them.C．It helps them have more babies.D．It keeps them cool in hot weather.4．Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of this passage? A．People used to keep water buffaloes as household pets.B．Many people have incorrect ideas about water buffaloes.C．Water buffaloes used to be common around the world.D．Water buffaloes and cattle have many similarities.F18、Characters: Peppa, George, Mummy Pig, Daddy PigSetting: Mummy Pig is working on her computer.

Later he became a star in the NBA, and a citizen of the United States. But he never forgot the land of his birth, or the duty to share his fortune with others. He builta new hospital in his old hometown in Congo(刚果). People called him ＂a good-hearted man＂.● Success and kindnessAfter her daughter was born, Julie Aigner-Clark searched for ways to share her love of music and art with her child. So she borrowed some equipment, and began filming children’s videos in her own house. The Baby Einstein Company was born, and in just five years her business grew to more than $20 million in sales. And now she is using her success to help others —producing child safety videos with John Walsh of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Julie says of her new program, ＂I believe it’s the most important thing that I have ever done.＂● Bravery and courageWesley Autrey became a national hero when he placed his life in danger to help a stranger who had fallen onto the tracks in a New York subway tunnel.Autrey was waiting for a downtown local train in Manhattan one day with his two daughters. Suddenly, a young man, Cameron Hollopeter, fell onto the subway tracks. Just then a train was coming. He dove onto the tracks and tried to take Hollopeter off the tracks, but there was not enough time to drag Hollopeter away. Instead, Autrey threw himself down onto the man, in the space between the rails(铁轨). It was too late for the train to stop. Several cars passed over them, and left a grease(润滑油) mark on his hat.After that Autrey said, ＂I just saw someone who needed help and did what I felt was right.＂1．What was Mutombo praised(赞扬) for?A．Being a star in the NBA．B．Being a citizen of America.C．His work in the USA．D．Helping people in the home town.2．Who was Julie in the passage?A．A famous basketball player.

However, things went from bad to worse in March 2015 after heavy rains damaged(损坏)the only power cables(电缆)in the area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.Luckily, researchers at the University of Technology(UT)in Lima, Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution(解决方法).They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb.While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the idea is quite simple. As plants create their food (using the sun's energy, water and chemicals from the soil )，they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons一the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to get the energy and keep it in the lamp's batteries for later use. The researchers say a single charge can power a 50-watt LED light for two hours 一enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done.The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015. So far, they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who invented the lamp，believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people, especially small rainforest communities. 2% of whom have no electricity.1．What is true about the Plant Lamp?A．It can be made by local people.B．It is much easier to use than oil lamps.C．It can produce all the electricity the villagers need.D．The things it needs to make electricity are easy to find.2．The Plant Lamp's inventor believes it could be most helpful for .A．rainforest communities B．carsC．poor people in cities D．farmers3．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To report on a new inventionB．To explain a new scientific theory(理论)C．To describe how electricity is madeD．To discuss the problems of poor villagesD16、On the first day of class , Smith’s foreign students fill in forms and give the information about themselves.Name : Kalumi Country : JapanNative Language : JapaneseTime in the USA : 3 monthsFamily : My family , my parents and 4 brothers and sisters all live in Japan.

Mr Shaw looked at the puzzled rider and added, "If you killed me, you know, you would be famous all over the world."Ⅳ. 阅读理解A13、“Chicken” idioms（习语）The word “chicken” is used in so many English idioms. Do you know the following?☆Don’t count your chicken before they hatch.The expression “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch” means “Don’t expect that all your eggs, w hich have been laid, will hatch.” “Hatch” is a verb, meaning the baby chicken breaks open the shell of the egg and comes out successfully. So the expression mainly means “Don’t depend on things working out just as you want them to.” This saying appears in the story The Milkmaid and Her Pail in Aesop’s Fables.☆A chicken-and-egg situationIn history, philosophers（哲学家）and scientists have met this dilemma（困境）:Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Aristotle thought that both the bird and the egg must have always been there. However, more recently, scientists such as Stephen Hawking have argued that the egg came before the chicken. In common speech, the term “a chicken-and-egg situation” means a situation where it is impossible to say which of two things appeared first and which caused the other one.☆Don’t be su ch a chickenThere seems to be an idea in English, somehow, that a chicken is a scared bird. Maybe that’s not fair as most birds will probably fly away from you if you go towards them. But “Don’t be such a chicken” means “Don’t be so scared and get a bit m ore courage.” So if your friend is afraid to do something , you can say to him or her, “Don’t be such a chicken. Just have a try!”1．The underlined word “hatch” means “________” in Chinese.A．孵化B．长大C．破碎D．出售2．While discussing the idiom “A chicken-and-egg situation”, the writer mentions Aristotle and Stephen Hawking to show that ________.A．Aristotle’s opinion was wrongB．St ephen Hawking’s opinion is wrongC．it’s impossible to find the right answer to this questionD．philosophers and scientists usually have the same answer to a question3．We may use the idiom “Don’t be such a chicken” in the situation when someone_________.A．is not brave enough B．enjoys counting his chickensC．has difficulty making a choice D．hopes things will work out just as he wants4．The writing probably appears in the ________ part of a magazine.A．food B．culture C．travel D．sportB14、There are over 800 boarding (寄宿) schools in the UK with students from home and foreign countries. Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country. But the earliest boarding schools were set up for white, rich boys only. Now both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from the age of 7 to 18.In the UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term. Students study and live together. They can’t go outside if they are not allowed to. In some schools, each s tudent has his or her subject plan. Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other facilities for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres. Most boarding schools have a “light out” time. So when it’s time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off. There are house-masters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.Nearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict.In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simply bread. For lunch and supper, they can choose a meal with or without meat. And there is always self-service for salad and dessert. Students can also make themselves something to eat at any time in a kitchen, or drink tea or have a snack between meals.1．Who were allowed to go to the earliest boarding schools in the UK?A .Boys and girls aged from 7 to 18.B．Only white girls from rich families.C .Only white boys from rich families.D．Everyone.2．How long is each term in the boarding schools?A .

If not, you can do it right now because the clothes donation is becoming popular in Hefei.“From time to time, my mother clears out the clothes which I no longer wear. You know, we t eenagers are growing fast. I think it’s a good way to help others.” Lin Tao, a junior student says.“I often pick out some of my clothes which are out of style after going shopping. Then I’ll put them into the donation box.” Miss Li, a pretty young lady sa ys.“That seems like a good idea. Some clothes in the box are quite new. People can either wear them or use them to make things such as handbags and pencil cases.” Mrs. Wang, an old woman says, “Sometimes I also look through the box for some nice clothes.”However, there are some problems along with clothes donation. Recently, a reporter from Focus on the City has made a survey. Here are the results:◆The box is full of clothes in a short time. There is no more room for people to give away clothes.◆Some people sell the clothes in the donation box for making money instead of wearing them.◆Some communities set the box in unsuitable (不合适的) places. So there are few clothes in it.◆Many clothes are too old.“What’s worse,” one of the workers in a community added, “We quite often see people throw rubbish into the box when they pass by. We’ve tried to stop them several times but failed. It has been the most serious problems since we set the box.”In order to make the donation box work in an efficient (有效的) way, our government is taking action. Clothes donation will be better-organized and it’ll be more convenient for people in need to take the clothes away.1．Miss Li gives away her clothes because _____.A．her clothes are out of style B．her mother clears out her clothesC．she is growing too fast D．she wants to make something2．All the problems about the donation box are included EXCEPT _____.A．there’s no more room for people to donate clothesB．people choose unsuitable places to set the boxC．sometimes the box is broken by someoneD．the clothes in the box are too old3．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 means ______.A．the clothes donation boxes B．the old peopleC．handbags and pencil cases D．some clothes in the box4．We can infer from the passage that ______.A．the clothes donation will be better-organized to help donators and people in need.B．the clothes donation becomes less popular than before because of serious problemsC．the clothes donation can prevent some girls from wearing clothes that are out of styleD．the clothes donation gives the traders a good idea to sell old clothes for making moneyD16、When I go to a new place, the first thing I like to do is walking around the streets, to explore and get lost in the city. When I first arrived in Santiago, Chile, and took a walk around the city center, one of the first things I noticed was how many stray dogs there were. The phrase “street dog” or “stray dog” is used to describe a dog with no home, who lives on the streets.On every corner there was a sleeping dog. At every traffic light there was a dog waiting to cross. By every shop there was a dog waiting for food. At first I was nervous as I thought they might be aggressive or unfriendly. However, I have been here for more than a year now and every stray dog I have seen has been passive (顺从的), quiet and friendly.The dogs are accepted and welcomed here in Chile. I have never seen a street dog being mistreated. In fact, they are often given food and water by the public. Some people even make jackets for the dogs or put out beds or kennels for them to sleep in.The dogs do not have an easy life: they are often hungry, cold or injured. The government does not provide much care for these dogs.Some people believe that the situation is getting out of control and that it is unacceptable to have so many dogs on the streets. The dogs can sometimes cause problems such as car accidents if they run into the road. There are around 2.5 million stray dogs in Chile and the dog population is growing faster than the human population. Many Chileans thinkthat all the stray dogs should be sterilized (绝育的) so that they cannot breed (繁殖). Others think that the stray dog population should be culled (i.e. reducing the population by killing them).The future of street dogs is uncertain but for now it looks like they are here to stay, with their population increasing year by year.1．What did the writer find when she was in Chile?A．Street dogs were unfriendly to foreigners.B．Street dogs were quiet and afraid of people.C．Shops were responsible for taking care of street dogs.D．There were many street dogs in the city center.2．Which of the following statements is TRUE about street dogs in Chile?A．They are well taken care of by the government.B．They live a happy and easy life in the city.C．They often receive help from local people.D．Many of them have been mistreated.3．What can be learnt from the article?A．The population of street dogs in Chile will soon be reduced.B．The Chilean government is working to improve the life of street dogs.C．Street dogs are responsible for most of Chile’s car accidents.D．Street dogs are a cause for worry for some people in Chile.4．The underlined word “aggressive” in the passage probably means__________.A．增长的B．有吸收力的C．积极的D．有攻击性的5．The article was mainly written to ___________.A．show how dogs live well with people B．call on people to protect street dogsC．discuss problems caused by street dogs D．describe the situation of street dogs in ChileE17、请阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

You’re different from the others!If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different.

When Bobby woke the next morning, he ran to the barn to discover what caused the loud noise last night. Bobby was baffled. He could not figure out what would make such a noise. That evening after dinner, Bobby gathered his courage, held a flashlight and headed out to the barn.“Where are you going?” Bobby’s father asked as Bobby made his way through the kitchen to the back door.“I am going to find the monster in the barn that was making such a noise last night,” Bobby replied bravely.“If you are going to look for a monster, you might need some help,” Bobby’s dad responded as he walked wi th Bobby out to the barn.“What did this monster sound like?” Bobby’s dad asked.“It was a screeching noise,” Bobby said, “and it was coming from the barn. I know it!” Bobby’s dad began to smile as they went near the barn, and he took the flashlight from Bobby. Shining the flashlight up at the roof of the barn, Bobby and his dad saw a small brown owl in the roof.“It was only a barn owl that you heard last night,” Bobby’s dad said. “They are active in the night so that is why you only heard him at night.

Of course，things have changed and life is very different.Trips to the moon are being made every day. Taking a holiday on the moon today is as easy as taking a holiday in Europe in 2010’s. At a number of scenic spots(风景胜地) on the moon，many hotels have been built. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon，every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for the entertainment(娱乐) of the young and old.What are people eating now? People are still eating food. But many foods now come in pill(药片) form，and the food that goes into the pill comes mainly from green plants.Because people in the world today are many more than those about fifty years ago，most of the earth’s surface has to be filled. The deserts areirrigatedwith water and crops are no longer eaten by pests(害虫). The harvest is always good. Farming，of course，is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just using a few computers.People are now largely vegetarians，and they eat only bread，vegetables，fruit and so on and they don’t eat meat or fish. You see，as the number of people increases，the number of animals decreases. So people have to be vegetarians. We are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds，and we know how to deal with all kinds of illnesses.

But much of the time snails don’t move at all. They’re in their shells ---sleeping .Hot sun will dry out a snail’s body. So at the least sign of hot sun, a snail draws its body into its shell and closes the opening with a thin cover. Then it goes to sleep. A snail will die in a heavy rain. So whenever it rains, it goes inside its shell house and goes to sleep. A snail can sleep for as long as it needs to. It can take a short sleep. Or it can sleep for days at a time. And it spends all the winter months in its shell, asleep.In spring the snail wakes up. Its body, about three inches long, comes out of from the shell. When hungry, the snail looks for food. It can’t see very well. Its eyes, at the ends of the top feelers are very weak. But its sense of smell is very strong. It helps the snail to the new greens. Then the snail’s little mouth goes to work.A snail’s mouth is no longer than the point of a pin(针). Yet it has 256,000 teeth! The teeth are so small that you can’t see them. But they do their work.. If you put a snail in a hard paper box, it will eat its way out.

Although it started producing mobile phones not many years ago, it has become one of the most famous phone companies.Now Huawei has got third place at the mobile market, just following Apple and Samsung. After seeing more of its smartphones were sold last year, Huawei appears to be more confident in its bigger goals.“We hope that in three years our market share can be the top two and in five years our market share can be the top one, ” Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei’s Consumer(消费者) Business Group, said in a recent TV interview.The company sold 108 million smartphones in 2015, compared with 2014, the number increased by 44 percent, though it was much smaller than Apple’s 231. 5 million iPhones and Samsung’s 317. 2 million smartphones.“The number of our smartphones is still growing, ” Yu said, “and our company is expecting an increase of 30% in smartphone shipments(出货量). It’ll be a great success.”Although Huawei’s smartphones sold well in Western Europe and China, the market in the US is another example. Yu said that the company was “so late” to the US. However, we are trying hard to raise our market share there in the next few years.1．According to the passage, which are top two biggest smartphone companies now?A．Apple and Huawei B．Samsung and Huawei C．Samsung and Apple2．What does the underlined word “share” mean in Chinese?A．分享B．份额C．股票3．How many smartphones were sold by Huawei in 2015?A．108 million B．231.5 million C．317.2 million4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Huawei has a very long history of making smartphones.B．Huawei’s market share will be the top one in two years.C．Huawei is trying hard to make its market share rise in America.5．What does the passage mainly want to tell us?A．Smartphones are getting popular around the world.B．Huawei’s phone company is getting better and better.C．Huawei is trying hard to make money.B14、When you listen to your favorite songs, you probably admire the singer or the musicians you're hearing. Those talented musical performers, however, are only some of the people involved in making the music you enjoy. Most people in the music industry work "behind the scenes", but their roles in the music-making process are very important.SongwritersBefore you can hear a song, a songwriter must imagine it Some songwriters work alone, but many songwriting teams include someone who writes the song’s words, and another person who writes the music. Pop music legend Elton John’s best-known songs, including Tiny Dancer and Your Song, were written to accompany the words of Bernie Taupin, whose name you might not know.ArrangersAfter a song has been written, music arrangers make it more appealing by deciding which instruments will be used, what speed the song will have, and the song’s pitch. A good arrangement can make a song a “classic” that people will remember and want to hear again and again.Recording EngineersRecording engineers also play a major role in creating the final sound that you hear. First, they set up the recording studio, the room where the performers play. Next, they use electronic equipment to record the music. Finally, long after the musicians have finished, recording engineers use a mixing board to balance the sounds of each musician, and sometimes to incorporate special sound effects or additional tracks.Studio MusiciansMany talented singers and musicians aren’t stars, but work in the background as studio musicians. These artists aren’t members of one musical group. Instead, they are hired for recording session s that eventually become the music you buy, as well as the music used in television shows, movies, and radio ads.Many people make a living with music. You may not recognize all of their names, but all of them work together tocreate the songs you love to listen to.1．What is the best title for this passage?A．The People Behind the Music B．The Music ManC．How Music Is Made D．It’s More Than Just a Song2．Who usually decide what instruments are used in a song ?A．Songwriters. B．Arrangers.C．Recording engineers. D．Studio musicians.3．Who will most probably do the last step of making the music-making process?A．Songwriters. B．Arrangers.C．Recording engineers D．Studio musicians4．What is true about studio musicians?A．They often appear on TV shows. B．They play with different performers.C．They decide what songs to play. D．They help to write the music.5．Where could be the best place for you to find this passage?A．In a travel guide. B．In a magazine.C．In a hotel advertisement. D．In a storybook.C15、Not all people can afford to buy expensive books. There are Sending libraries where people, old and young, can borrow books if they are members. The largest library in Singapore is the National Library at Stamford Road. More than thousands of books can be found. Most of them are English books although there are also some Chinese and Malay readers.You can borrow books from the library if you are a member. To be a member you have to pay a certain fee. After you have paid the fee, you are given a card and you can use this card to borrow books for three weeks at a time.Students do not need to pay membership fee. All they need is a letter from their school principals and they can become members of the library. For those who live far away there are extension (扩大) libraries at Toa Payoh, Queenstown and other places which also have books for readers to borrow.Reading is a good habit as it can increase our knowledge and improve our language.1．Many people borrow books from the library because ________.A．books are more and more expensiveB．they are members of librariesC．there are all kinds of books in the libraryD．libraries are everywhere2．From the passage we can guess that ________.A．all the books in National Library are English booksB．there are no other books besides English onesC．there are many Chinese living or working in SingaporeD．Malay people’s language is English3．________ can borrow books from the library.A．All the people living in Singapore B．Only the members of the libraryC．Only the people who speak English D．The Chinese and Malay people4．If a student wants to be a member of the library, what he needs is ________.A．to pay a certain fee B．to have a library cardC．to know how to use the library card D．a letter from the school principals5．Reading ________.A．can help you to know more B．can improve your languageC．is a good habit D．all of the aboveD16、The Phones We Love Too MuchWe have a close relationship with our phones. We sleep with them, eat with them and carry them in our pockets.But phone love can go too far — so far that it can reduce human love — between parents and children, wives and husbands, teachers and students, our friends and us.“A key to a healthy relationship is being present,” said James Roberts, a famous writer. He says that many p eople are addicted to their smartphones and as if they can’t live without phones. When one partner keeps checking his or her phone, it means that they find the phone (or what’s on it) more interesting than you.A 2016 study investigated(调查) 200 people about the influence of phones on their relationship. The result showed that70 percent of them said that smartphones affected their primary relationship. More than one-third saidtheir partner would notice their phones while talking, one out of four said their partner send messages during conversations.They may not know what to do about it, but they are willing to change. People turn off their phones when they are in class or at a meeting.Here are some suggestions to leave your phone long enough to connect with your family.●Set “no phone” areas in your home. With your family, decide which areas of your home, such as the living room and the kitchen, should be technology-free. And consider stopping phone use in the car so that you can use that time to talkto your family about whatever is on your mind.●Buy some old-fashioned alarm clocks for your bedside table. Put your phones in a basket in the kitchen.●Keep phones off the table. When you’re eating at home or in a restaurant, keep phones off the table. When a phone was present during a conversation, the partners usually feel less satisfied with their conversation than when phones were absent.●Practice phone manners. If you must look at your phone, announce that you are doing so. “I am just checking the score/w eather/playlist for two minutes,” shows sorry to your partner that you are aware that your attention is away.

Just trees? Or do you see many other things, such as singing birds, colorful plants and wild flowers?The forest is a whole world of its own. It is full of many different living things(生物). But even though they are all different, they have one thing in common: they all need each other in order to live on .The trees feed the forest “people” by making food in their leaves; by using sunlight to join water and minerals(矿物) from the soil and air. Their deep network of roots joins the soil together and stops it from dying out, making it possible for living things to live in it. Human beings(人类) are like the living things in the forest. We need one another in order to live. We need the farmers to grow our food, railroad and truck drivers to bring it to our shops and clerks(售货员) to sell it to us. We need people to prepare our food and cook it and others to take our waste things away. Then, of course, we need doctors, nurses, government leaders, mailmen, telephone operators, and many others.We also need other human beings in another way. We need people for friendship, to talk over our problems, exchange ideas. Think how lonely and unhappy you would be if you lived all alone.Life is a matter of giving and taking. We need to help other people as much as we need other people to help us. Think what a good feeling you have when you have done something for someone else. You know, being a volunteer is so great! 根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。
