At some point, they came across a large tree branch on the ground in front of t hem. The boy asked his father, “If I try, do you think I could move that branch?” His father replied, “I am sure you can, if you use all your strength.”The boy tried his best to lift or push the branch, but he was not strong enough and he couldn't move it. He said, with disappointment, “You were wrong, dad. I can't mov e it.” “Try again,”replied his father. Again, the boy tried hard to push the branch. He struggled but it did not move.“Dad, I cannot do it,” said the boy. Finally, his father said, “Son, I advised you to use all your strength. You didn't. You didn't a sk for my help.”We haven't used all our strength until we have recognized, appreciated and made good use of the strength and support of those who love and surround us, and those who care about our purpose. Our real strength lies not in independence, but in interdependence.No individual person has all the strengths needed to do everything. That requires the joint help of many people. To ask for help and support when we need it is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign of wisdom. It is a call for a greater strength.When we ask for help and we are refused, it just means we have to ask at another time, or ask in another way, or ask another person.26. The father suggested his son should ____________.A. use all his strength to move the branchB. not pay attention to the branchC. not be disappeared at the failureD. move the branch all by himself27. The boy did the following EXCEPT ____________.A. trying his best to lift the branchB. struggling to push the branchC. giving up with disappointmentD. asking his father for help28. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “joint” in Paragraph 5?A. 联合的B. 普遍的C. 加固的D. 统一的29. What can we infer from the passage?A. The boy understood his father’s suggestion in the beginning.B. We shouldn’t give up if we are refused when asking for help.C. The father was sure that his son could move the branch himself.D. Everyone himself has all the strengths needed to do everything.30. The writer wants to tell us to ____________.A. try to do things on our ownB. support those who love and surround usC. be brave to ask for help if necessaryD. be strong enough to overcome difficultiesBMSU Community Music SchoolRock CampJune 23-27$220It is for middle and high school students who have some experience playing an instrument （guitar, bass, drums, or keyboard.

They are celebrating the Jane Austen Festival.Jane Austen is an English writer. Born in Steventon, England, 1775, Austen was mostly educated at home, where she learned how to play the piano, draw and write creatively. She read a lot and later came to enjoy social events such as parties, dances and balls. She disliked the busy life of towns and preferred the country life, where she took to taking long walks.In 1801, Jane, her parents and sister moved to Bath. Four years later, her father passed away and the family soon became poor. Austen and her family moved several times until finally settling into a small house in Chawton. It was in this house that she wrote most of her works.In March of1817, Austen got serious health problems and was sent to Winchester for a cure, so she had to stop writing. She died in July of the same year, at the age of only 41.Austen was famous for her humorous words and clever ideas. Most of her novels are about women in 18th century England. At that time, if a woman wanted to have a happy life, she had to marry a rich man. But Austen said that a woman should marry for love, not for money or social status. So her characters were often strong women.Pride and Prejudice, published in 1813, is the most famous novel by Austen. It tells of a romantic story between a young woman Elizabeth and a tall, rich, and handsome man, Mr. Darcy. It has been changed into films, televisions and musicals.36. Which of the following is TRUE about Austen?A. She loved reading and talking long walks.B. She received education in college.C. She hated parties, balls and dances.D. She preferred the city life.37. Where did Austen write most of her works?A. In Steventon England.B. In the countryside of Bath.C. In a small house in Chawton.D. In a small house in Winchester.38. What does the book Pride and Prejudice tell us?A. A humorous story happening in England.B. A love story between a young woman and a man.C. A rich man marring a poor ugly woman.D. Women’s lives in the 18th century.39. What’s the correct order of the following events?a. People celebrate the Jane Austen Festival every year in Bath, England.b. Jane Austen, her parents and sister moved to Bath.c. Jane Austen got seriously ill and stopped writing.d. Jane Austen learned how to play the piano, draw and write creatively.e. Jane Austen wrote and published her most famous novel Pride and Prejudice.A. d,b,e,c,aB. b,e,d,a,cC. d,b,c,e,aD. b,d,e,c,a40. Which of the following words cannot be used to describe Austen?A. activeB. dependentC. creativeD. romanticDThe best part of visiting a marine park is probably seeing the beautiful and friendly dolphins. And the luckier people among us may even have the chance to swim with these amazing creatures.At the same time, however, we can’t help but think that these animals would be happier in the wild, rather than be kept in a dolphinarium. However, according to a recent study, we needn’t think like that. Scientist Isabella Clegg, who carried out her research at a dolphinarium in France, put together a series of experiments to figure out how dolphins felt about their lives when they were in captivity (囚禁). “Different from the researches which have been done before, our study’s aim is to look at captivity from the animal’s point of view. We want to find out what activities in captivity they like most.” she told BBC News.There were three kinds of experiment: one in which the dolphins were left alone, one in which toys were added to their pool, and one in which a human played with the dolphins. It was found that of the three types of experiment, the dolphins seemed to enjoy playing with humans the most. “When they were joyful, they leaped from the water during training and got close to the edge of the pool curiously,” wrote BBC News science correspondent Victoria Gill.However, this doesn’t mean dolphins are happier in captivity than they are in the wild. According to wildlife and nature platform One Green Planet, being raised in captivity could actually be detrimental to dolphins. “By being born into captivity, they will never learn the skills necessary to survive in the wild. This means that any animal that is born in captivity can never be sent back into the wild,” it wrote on its website.But while this may be true, at least it seems that captive dolphins still enjoy happy moments with human.41. What can we learn about the story on the dolphins in captivity?A. It was carried out in a dolphinarium in the UK.B. It studied the feelings of the dolphins in captivity.C. It was the first study on captivity’s influence on animals.D. It compared the behavior of the captive dolphins and wild dolphins.42. According to the study, the dolphins were happiest when they playing ____________.A. with toysB. with other sea animals.C. by themselves.D. with humans.43. What is the meaning of the underlined word “detrimental” in Paragraph 4?A. lonelyB. upsetC. harmfulD. difficult44. What can we infer from the passage?A. Dolphins are happier in captivity than they are in the wild.B. The writer completely disagrees about the recent result.C. Dolphins show their happiness by getting away from the edge.D. One Green Planet suggests that dolphins should stay in the wild.45. What is the best title for this passage?A. Happiness of dolphinsB. Problems of dolphinsC. Captive and wild dolphinsD. Dolphins in danger第二节阅读填空（共5小题每题1分共5分）_______46_______. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other.

With automaticity, he doesn’t have to think about the meaning of words, _______47_______._______48_______. In a recent study, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams._______49_______. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader. _______50_______.四、写作（共三节满分35分）第一节单词拼写（共6小题，每小题1分，共6分）51.

One reason for this is a （n ） 2 in the cost of living. On the average, children attend schools for more years than they used to, making them financially （经济上） 3 their families longer. Moreover,children nowadays are better dressed and have more money to spend on 4 like having parties and touring around. The parents usually take the 5 for all the cost.Meanwhile, families are less 6 than they used to be. More and more American mothers work away from home. The break-up of the family happens when the parents divorce.A lot of children in the U. S. Live part of their young lives with only one parent. Broken families usually lead to problems for both children and parents. Children blame themselves when their parents separate.

These single parents must 8 the children's emotional needs while also supporting them financially. This require much attention and 9 very little time for the parent's own interests.The situations of many American families today are not good, 10 recent signs show that things are getting better.

We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter, I was shy, but Lillian drew me out.

This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. "I'll be back soon." She told me.

Émilie would be one of the exceptions to that reality as she was a physicist, natural philosopher, and mathematician whose work is still celebrated today.Although we know little about her education, it's clear that she was intelligent in language and science. By the age of twelve she was excellent in Latin, Italian, French, Greek, and German. But her focus was in maths which she studied with a great love.As a girl who favored taking part in the social activities, she married at the age of 18. After giving birth to three children, two of which survived, she returned to her studies of maths at the age of 26, paying no attention to most of social activities of her earlier days.With the help of her family teachers in maths, she also joined in many discussions with the best scientists at that time. This gave her a lot of inspiration in her maths research. In fact, her translation of Newton's Principia Mathematica 《数学原理》is still the most acceptable translation of the work into French. It also played a great role in introducing Newtonian science to Europe. Unfortunately, this was her final work as she passed away from giving her fourth child shortly after finishing the text in 1749.Émilie du Châtelet was a prolific author at that time. Her works covered many fields including philosophy, maths and the natural science. She managed to maintain her confidence and position in Paris society while pursuing her love for maths.

If you watch closely, you will see that as your cat falls asleep, her breathing becomes slow and her body still. She has entered the first stage of sleep, called slow-wave sleep. After about 15 minutes, you will notice a change in her breathing. Her paws and whiskers twitch （抽动）and her ear suddenly moves a bit. Her eyes move under her closed lids. Your cat has entered the REM （rapid eye movement sleep ）. Although she twitches and makes little noises, messages from her brain to the large muscles in her legs are stopped, so she can't run about. She is in a state of "sleep paralysis （麻痹）".Back in 1963, Michel Jouvet, a French scientist who was studying sleep in cats explained their sleep paralysis. Even though they were completely asleep, the dreaming cats began to go after balls that Jouvet couldn't see and was ready to fight back at invisible enemies. He thought he was watching them act out their dreams.What were they dreaming about? Mostly, the dreaming cats seemed to act out important cat skills.In another study, neuroscientist Matt Wilson recorded rats' brain wave while they leaned makes （迷宫）. One day, he left the brain-wave-recording machine on while the rats fall asleep. The shape of brain waves in the sleeping rats matched the shape of the maze so closely that Wilson could exactly point out which part of the maze each rat was dreaming about!Many researchers now think that in both people and animals, one purpose of dreams is to repeat important skills and review recent learning. This may explain why so many people dream about fighting and escaping, skills that were probably very important to people a long time ago,and why dreaming affects our ability to learn.Do all animals dream? From looking at the brain waves of sleeping animals, scientists think that all mammals like cats, dogs and even tigers dream, but fish don't.（They're not sure about birds ） Also, how often animals dream seems to be related to body size. Cats dream about every 15 minutes, rats every 9 minutes, and elephants every 2 hours. And though cows and horses usually sleep standing up, they only dream when lying down.A.B.C.D.The cat enters the REM .before her slow-wave sleepwhen her breathing becomes slow15 minutes after she closes her eyeswhen her eyes move under her closed lids（1）A.Cats.

Ability is easily improved. 1 So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:1. Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials ready? 22. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? Make three or four instead. 3 So save yourself the effort for a future meal.3. 4 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation （实验）. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas that cans work well with your appetite （食欲） and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.5 Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.

Some of them are thought to be bad habits. People spend countless hours each year trying to get rid of these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change demands hard work and there is no shortcut to achieve it. However, there is still some advice for you to follow.First, figure out why you do it. In other words, what's the result of doing this thing? If your bad habit is shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure, what do you get from it? It may make you feel a little better for a moment. Or maybe you have a bad habit of leaving your homework undone. The result could be that you get more time to spend on the Internet!Next, take a look at them on the other hand. What do you lose because of your bad habits? Shouting at other people is a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad andunhappy. Leaving your homework undone is a bad habit because you may be punished by your teacher. Having more Internet time means that you lose the chance to learn things that you need to learn. When you think in this way, you'll find that it's not wise to keep your bad habit! Now it is time to make a decision. What will you choose? I'm sure you will choose to do what you think is more important.（1）From Paragraph 1, we know that ______.A a habit is a terrible thing that we can never changeB it takes people countless hours to get rid of their bad habits successfulC none of the people who try to break bad habits are successfulD though it is difficult, we can still do something about our bad habits（2）The underlined part "there is no shortcut to achieve it" means that "______".A it is not easy to get rid of bad habitsB there is a long way and a shortway C something dangerous may happen D we must cut it in a short time（3）According to the passage, if you want to get rid of your bad habits, you have to ______.A talk to others when you are in low spiritsB know why you do itC finish your homework firstD spend less time on the Internet（4）What does the underlined word "it" refer to in Paragraph 3?A Getting rid of the bad habits.B Forming good habits.C Spending countless hours.D Shouting at other people.（5）The main purpose of this passage is to ______.A introduce and describeB complain and disagreeC explain andadvise D discuss and argue4.The distance between ancient Rome and ancient China was about 4, 000 miles by land. There were terrible deserts and high mountains on the way. It was a very dangerous trip. The Silk Road was a nickname (别称) for any route that any trader took from China to Rome.For a very long time, the ancient Romans did not know who was making this wonderful cloth called silk. The Romans first discovered pieces of silk in the goods they took from some of the people they conquered (征服) . But those people did not know where the silk was made. They had traded for the silk.The Romans tried to find the traders as they came into villages to trade silk for other goods. But the traders did not know who made the silk either. In fact, the trading along the Silk Road was a relay (接力) system. One trader would travel for a while, stop and trade, and return home. The next trader would continue, stop and trade, and return home. And so it went. No trader made the whole trip because the trip was too dangerous. The desert had little or no water, and the mountains were dangerous and sand storms would blow up out of nowhere. Even the snakes were scary.The Romans were upset. The demand (需求) for silk in Rome had grown. Rome had gold and silver and treasure. They hoped to find "The Silk People" , as the Romans called these unknown people and trade with them. But they couldn't find them.The Romans sent out their men to follow the "Silk Road" and find the "Silk People". But most never returned because those who did said they could not make it through the desert. They had to turn around and come back.This went on for a very long time.As the years went by, along the Silk Road, temples appeared. There were even cities built on the oasis (绿洲) . It was never easy to travel by land from China to Rome. But it was worth it. Rome traded gold and treasure for China's silk and spices (香料) . But more things travelled along the Silk Road than traders and goods. Ideas travelled along the Silk Road as well. The ideas changed the world.（1）According to the passage, ______.A ancient Rome was about three thousand miles away from ancient ChinaB there were terrible deserts and high mountains between Rome and ChinaC ancient Romans traded directly with traders from ancient ChinaD ancient Romans wanted to conquer ancient China（2）The underlined part "it was worth it" probably means "______".A the thing was worth doingB the goods was expensiveC the Silk Road was valuableD the silk was worth buying（3）From the passage, we know ______.A ancient Rome was very poorB ancient Silk Road was very safeC ancient China's silk was very popularD ancient China was full of ancient Romans（4）Which is the correct order according to the passage?a. What the Silk Road meant.b. Some ideas spread along the Silk Road.c. How the traders traded along the Silk Road.d. Some temples appeared along the Silk Road.e. Ancient Romans hoped to find "The Silk People" .A c-a-e-b-dB c-b-a-d-eC a-b-c-d-eD a-c-e-d-b（5）What's the best title for the passage?A How the Silk Road formedB Travel from Rome to ChinaC Trade between Rome and ChinaD How Chinese started the Silk Road5.Guangzhou Museum************************************************************************************ Address: Zhenhai Tower, Yuexiu Mountain, GuangzhouExhibition: Guangzhou historyOpening Hours: 9:00~17:00Tel: (8620) 8355-0627Email: guangzhoubwg@126. comTransportation:Take Bus No. 24, 63, 103, 104, 109, 110, 122, 211 and get off at the Yuexiu Park station.

He Lifeng, minister of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at the 13th National People's Congress this year. He said, "A number of key infrastructure（基础设施）projects to build Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area have been on fast tracks. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge has been completed. And the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong High-speed Railway has been completed basically."Ma Xingrui, governor（省长）of South China's Guangdong Province at the National People's Congress, said, "Guangdong will use its advantages to play a coordinating（协调）role and improve the cooperation and communication between Guangdong and Hong Kong and between Guangdong and Macao." Ma added, "There is also a plan for building the world-class port and airport in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in the future."The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area was first written in Government Work Report last year. And in the Government Work Report of the 13th National People's Congress on Mar 5 this year, Premier Li Keqiang said the country will improve cooperation in all areas between the mainland, Hong Kong, and Macao. A challenging goal set for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is to grow into the world's leading bay area to New York,San Francisco and Tokyo. While the situation of "one country, two systems", "three customs" and "four key cities" is the biggest feature of the Greater Bay Area, it is also where the challenge and pain point are, the report said.Ma Huateng, chairman and CEO of Tencent, suggested at the 13th National People's Congress, "We should encourage the equal development of industries in the Greater Bay Area. Shenzhen and Guangzhou are leading in the innovative（创新的）industry and Hong Kong is strong in finance（金融）industry and the other cities in the whole Pearl River Delta are competitive in smart manufacturing（制造业）and high-end manufacturing. If they give out their own advantages in software, hardware and service together, they will show great power," Ma said.（1）Each of the following projects is in operation EXCEPT ______ according to He Lifeng.A Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong High-speed RailwayB Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay AreaC Guangzhou-Zhuhai-Macao High-speed RailwayD The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge（2）According to Ma Xingrui, governor of Guangdong, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will ______.A have the world-class technology centre in itB have the world-class port and airport in itC become high-end manufacturing baseD become the financial centre of the world（3）Which of the following is NOT true about the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area?A It's of the feature of "one country, two systems", "three customs" and "four key cities".B It was written in Government Work Report last year and this year.C It's where the challenge and pain point are.D It has become the world's leading bay area.（4）From Ma Huateng, chairman and CEO of Tencent, we infer Zhuhai probably has its advantage in ______.A smart manufacturingB innovative industryC finance industryD hardware（5）The passage is ______.A a storyB a piece of newsC a reportD a poster5.Great Volunteer Activities for KidsDo you want to be a volunteer?

Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.Body signalsPilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means, "yes". When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means "no". If you want the pilot to know that it's safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend your knees. If you want to say that it's not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side. Smoke signalsThe smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it's a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn't hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if it gets out of control. Never light a tire unless you're sure that it can't spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.Ground-to-air signalsIt's a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols（标记）. If you can't find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:F: "I need food and water."II: "I need medicine."I: "I am badly hurt."X: "I am unable to move from here."Pilots' repliesIf the pilot lowers the plane's wings from side to side, this means: "message received and understood"（At night, the pilot flashes the plane's green lights. ）If the pilot flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means "message received but not understood".（At night, the pilot flashes the plane's red lights. ）However, there is no signal which means "message not received."（1）According to the passage, you can use ______ to build ground-to-air signals on a lonely island.A wood or earthB grass and leavesC wood and leavesD sand or grass（2）Which picture means "it's safe to land"?A B C D（3）If the pilot flies the plane in a clockwise circle, what does this mean?A It means "message not received".B It means"message received and understood". C It means"message received but not understood". D It's not mentioned in the passage.（4）From the passage we know that ______.A swinging your arm from side to side means"yes" B light smoke can be seen easily if the ground is dark C make a symbol "I"if you need some medicine D the pilots make replies with a yellow light at night（5）What is the passage mainly about?A The explanation of body signals on an island.B The importance of making signals on a n island.C Ways of living on a lonely island.D Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island.四、阅读填空7.阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

At some point, they cameIf I try, do you across a large tree branch on the ground in front of t hem. The boy asked his father, “His father replied, “I am sure you can, if you use all your think I could move that branch?” strength.”The boy tried his best to lift or push the branch, but he was not strong enough and he couldn't“Try again,”move it. He said, with disappointment, “You were wrong, dad. I can't move it.” replied his father. Again, the boy tried hard to push the branch. He struggled but it did not move.“Dad, I cannot do it,” said the boy. Finally, his father said, “Son, I advised you to use all your strength. You didn't. You didn't a sk for my help.”We haven't used all our strength until we have recognized, appreciated and made good use of the strength and support of those who love and surround us, and those who care about our purpose. Our real strength lies not in independence, but in interdependence.No individual person has all the strengths needed to do everything. That requires the joint help of many people. To ask for help and support when we need it is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign of wisdom. It is a call for a greater strength.When we ask for help and we are refused, it just means we have to ask at another time, or askin another way, or ask another person.26. The father suggested his son should ____________.A. use all his strength to move the branchB. not pay attention to the branchC. not be disappeared at the failureD. move the branch all by himself27.

We shouldn’t give up if we are refused when asking for help.C. The father was sure that his son could move the branch himself.D. Everyone himself has all the strengths needed to do everything.30.

In a novel.B. In a textbook.C. In a poster.D. In an encyclopedia.CEvery year in Bath, England, there is a special festival. People dress up in period clothes and have concerts and balls. They are celebrating the Jane Austen Festival.Jane Austen is an English writer. Born in Steventon, England, 1775, Austen was mostly educated at home, where she learned how to play the piano, draw and write creatively. She read a lot and later came to enjoy social events such as parties, dances and balls. She disliked the busylife of towns and preferred the country life, where she took to taking long walks.In 1801, Jane, her parents and sister moved to Bath. Four years later, her father passed away and the family soon became poor. Austen and her family moved several times until finally settling into a small house in Chawton. It was in this house that she wrote most of her works.In March of1817, Austen got serious health problems and was sent to Winchester for a cure,so she had to stop writing. She died in July of the same year, at the age of only 41.Austen was famous for her humorous words and clever ideas. Most of her novels are about women in 18th century England. At that time, if a woman wanted to have a happy life, she had to marry a rich man. But Austen said that a woman should marry for love, not for money or social status. So her characters were often strong women.Pride and Prejudice, published in 1813, is the most famous novel by Austen. It tells of a romantic story between a young woman Elizabeth and a tall, rich, and handsome man, Mr. Darcy.It has been changed into films, televisions and musicals.36. Which of the following is TRUE about Austen?A. She loved reading and talking long walks.B. She received education in college.C. She hated parties, balls and dances.D. She preferred the city life.37. Where did Austen write most of her works?A. In Steventon England.B. In the countryside of Bath.C. In a small house in Chawton.D. In a small house in Winchester.38. What does the book Pride and Prejudice tell us?A. A humorous story happening in England.B. A love story between a young woman and a man.C. A rich man marring a poor ugly woman.D. Women’s lives in the 18th century.39. What’s the correct order of the following events?a. People celebrate the Jane Austen Festival every year in Bath, England.b. Jane Austen, her parents and sister moved to Bath.c. Jane Austen got seriously ill and stopped writing.d. Jane Austen learned how to play the piano, draw and write creatively.e.

Which of the following words cannot be used to describe Austen?A. activeB. dependentC. creativeD. romanticDThe best part of visiting a marine park is probably seeing the beautiful and friendly dolphins. And the luckier people among us may even have the chance to swim with these amazing creatures.At the same time, however, we can’t help but think that these animals would be happier in the wild, rather than be kept in a dolphinarium. However, according to a recent study, we needn’t think like that. Scientist Isabella Clegg, who carried out her research at a dolphinarium in France,put together a series of experiments to figure out how dolphins felt about their lives when theywere in captivity (囚禁). “Different from the researches which have been done before, our study’s aim is to look at captivity from the animal’s point of view. We want to find out what activities in captivity they like most.” she told BBC News.There were three kinds of experiment: one in which the dolphins were left alone, one in which toys were added to their pool, and one in which a human played with the dolphins. It was found that of the three types of experiment, the dolphins seemed to enjoy playing with humans the most. “When they were joyful, they leaped from the water during training and got close to the edge of the pool curiously,” wrote BBC News science correspondent Victoria Gill.However, this doesn’t mean dolphins are happier in captivity than they are in the wild. According to wildlife and nature platform One Green Planet, being raised in captivity could actually be detrimental to dolphins. “By being born into captivity, they will never learn the skills necessary to survive in the wild. This means that any animal that is born in captivity can never be sent back into the wild,” it wrote on its website.But while this may be true, at least it seems that captive dolphins still enjoy happy moments with human.41. What can we learn about the story on the dolphins in captivity?A. It was carried out in a dolphinarium in the UK.B. It studied the feelings of the dolphins in captivity.C. It was the first study on captivity’s influence on animals.D. It compared the behavior of the captive dolphins and wild dolphins.42. According to the study, the dolphins were happiest when they playing ____________.A. with toysB. with other sea animals.C. by themselves.D. with humans.43. What is the meaning of the underlined word “detrimental” in Paragraph 4?A. lonelyB. upsetC. harmfulD. difficult44. What can we infer from the passage?A. Dolphins are happier in captivity than they are in the wild.B. The writer completely disagrees about the recent result.C. Dolphins show their happiness by getting away from the edge.D. One Green Planet suggests that dolphins should stay in the wild.45. What is the best title for this passage?A. Happiness of dolphinsB. Problems of dolphinsC. Captive and wild dolphinsD.

At the start of the school year, the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average(中等)，and they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what? At the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class.What made these average students change so much to become top students？The only difference was the change in their teachers’ attitude(态度). Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students，they expected(期望) more from them. And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.Do you know why? If you expect the best from people, they’ll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, “Treat(对待) aperson just how he appears to be on the outside, and you’ll make him even worse. But treat a person like he’s already a success，and you’ll help make him the best he can be.”Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said，“Johnny，you’re the naughtiest(最顽皮的) boy in this class. I’m sure you’ll never change.” The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class，she met with Johnny after school and said，“Johnny, I’ve heard a lot about y ou! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it.” And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things.

Columbus and his men had to live on a small island for several months while they tried to repair their ship and return to Spain.At first, the local people on the island were very kind to the European visitors, giving them all the food and clothes they needed to survive. However, as the months passed, the local people became more and more unhappy with their guests, who were tricking and stealing from them. Finallythe locals decided to stop helping. Without food or any way to leave the island, Columbus’ group was soon in serious trouble.Luckily for Columbus, he had a book about the stars and planets on his ship. It described the movements of all the objects in the night sky.The book, written by a well-known German scientist,said there would be a total lunar eclipse (月食)on the evening of February 29, 1504 and how long it would last.Columbus worked out the difference in time between Germany and North America. He then had a meeting with the local leaders just before the eclipse would take place. In this meeting, Columbus told them his god was angry because the local people were no longer giving food. So his god wouldtake away the moon to punish them. At the moment Columbusfinished talking, just as he had planned, the moon began disappearing.The local leaders grew frightened and quickly agreed to provide Columbus with food and anything else he wanted. But first, Columbus’ god had to return the moon. Columbus told them he would have to discuss the idea with his god on his ship. Knowing the moon would stay completely hidden for about 48 minutes, Columbus returned just before the moon began to reappear. From that day on, until they finally left, Columbus and his men no longer had any trouble getting the food they needed.30.At first, the local people helped Columbus and his men by__________.A. giving them foodB. building a house for themC. repairing their shipD. providing them with a book32.

They caused their own problems.CParking has been a problem for drivers for a long time in Taizhou. The Transportation Department(部门) is mapping out a new plan for the city’s parking system. There are about 100 thousand cars on the road inTaizhou but only enough parking space to provide room for 15 percent of these vehicles. It is no wonder that local drivers get so worried trying to find a place to park.The number of the private(私人的) car owners is becoming lager and larger. In March, the city sent out 1,000 private car licenses, the highest number of licenses ever sent out in a month. And prices rose to over 200 yuan, 500 more than in February. Industry experts(专家) say this suggests that local people have a strong, active interest in buying cars.By the year 2020, the number of cars in Taizhou will probably reach 200 thousand. If one parking lot is for each car, then a lot of parking space should be built for these vehicles. The center of Taizhou is most short of parking space. However, experts point out that simply building more parking lots in these areas is not practical and doesn’t solve the problem.The idea of “ Park & Ride” system has been suggested. This means that underground train and city train should be developed quickly. Drivers can leave their vehicles in car parks nearby subway(地铁) and bus stations and then they can ride public transport to go to the city center. Based on this idea, the city will cut down the number of parkinglots in the city center and need higher parking fees(费用). But it will build more parking areas near main subway and bus stops.36.The underlined phrase “mapping out” in the first paragraph means _____.A．making B．arguing C．replying D．comparing37.About _____ drivers can find places to park their cars in Taizhou now.A．,500 B．10,000 C．15,000 D．20,00038. What can we infer from the second paragraph?A．The city sent out more private licenses in February.B．Less and less people bought cars in March.C．The city sent out less private licenses in March.D．More and more people are going to buy cars.39. According to the idea of a “ Park & Ride ” system, the city will _____.A．send out more private car licensesB．build more parking lots near bus stopsC．encourage people to buy more carsD．build more parking areas in the city center40. This passage is mainly about_____.A．parking problemsB．heavy trafficC．pollution in TaizhouD．building more parking lots in the city centerDChristmas Singing Competition 2016Entry Form （参赛表）Competition Rules•Relatives of judges（评委）and organizers are not allowed to take part in the competition．•All singers must be between 13and 19years of age•Singers aged 17or younger need the permission of a parent to take part （See Parent Permission below）•All singers must arrive at least 30minutes before the start of the competit ion．Late comers will not be allowed to take part．Prizes：•1st Prize-﹩1000 （one prize only）•2nd Prize-﹩250 （3prizes）•3rd Prize-﹩100 （5prizes）Winners will be decided according to the following：41．How many people will be given prizes in total？A．Three B．Five C．Nine D．Ten42．Who can take part in the competition？A．A 20-year-old singer．B．A 19-year-old daughter of a judge．C．A 15-year-old friend of an organizer．D．A 12-year-old friend of William Daniels．43．If one singer's parents want to watch the competition，how much will they pay？A．$15 B．$20 C．$25 D．$3044．Which of the following is the most important for deciding the w inners？A．Voice QualityB．Song Choice．C．Audience ResponseD．Dancing Ability．45．If an 18-year-old singer wants to enter the competition，which parts of the form must be completed？A．Singer's Name．B．Singer's Name and Singer's Age．C．Singer's Name，Singer's Age and Date of Event．D．Singer's Name，Singer's Age and Parent Permission．第二节阅读填空（共5小题，每空1分，共5分）At last, the mid-term exams are over.

Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what the real flying is!”One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show off his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.Now it was the s wan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments（评价）about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to stop himself from falling into the water.The swan pretended（假装）not to notice and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that anoth er trick?”“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. "I’m in trouble because of my pride!

The threat（威胁）to coral reefs isn’t something that’s going to happen in 100 years from now. We’re losing them right now," said Julia Baum, who is a biologist at the University of Victoria, in British Columbia, Canada. “We’re losing them really quickly, much more quickly than I think any of us ever could have imagined.” Even if global warming were to stop right now, scientists predict that over 90 % of coral reefs will die by 2050.Actually, the planet’s health depends on the survival（生存）of coral reefs. They’re often described as underwater rainforests, because they’re ecosystems（生态系统）that provide living places for one in four of all sea animals. The reefs also serve as barriers（屏障）that protect coastlines from the full force of powerful storms. Coral is used in medical research to find out how to treat diseases like cancer, etc. Besides, the reefs attract tourists, the fishing industry and other businesses; bringing in billions of dollars of income.Coral is a kind of animal that has no backbone, and lives mostly in tropical（热带的）water. A rise of just 1℃ to 2℃can have effects on coral. It can survive in these higher temperatures only for a few months. Unluckily, the problem isn’t just global warming. The reefs have also been affected by po llution, coastal development and overfishing. Now scientists are doing something to make sure the rest survive. They hope that it’s not too late to save the reefs, and some are moving ahead on experiments to complete that goal. Ruth Gates, director of the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology, for example, is trying to “train” coral to get used to rising temperatures to survivable levels of heat stress. She hopes that the coral will fix the experience in its memory so that it can accept similar stress in the future.（1）Where is Julia Baum from?A.Australia.B.Canada.C.England.D.America.（2）Why are coral reefs of great benefit?A.They can be used to prevent and cure diseases.B.They are home to about half of marine species.C.They protect water from being polluted.D.They are important to local economy.（3）Ruth Gates is mentioned in the last paragraph just in order to show ______.A.measures that are being taken to protect coral reefsB.scientists’ interest in doing research on coral reefsC.ways to develop reefs’ environmental adaptabilityD.the relationship between coral reefs and temperatures（4）From the passage, we know ______.A.all the coral reefs will die by 2050B.scientists are doing something to save the rest of coral reefsC.half of the world’s coral reefs have died in the last 100 yearsD.when the temperature rises 1°C to 2℃，coral reefs will disappear（5）Where can we read this passage?A.In a history magazine.B.In an art magazine.C.In a sports magazine.D.In a science magazine.5.Central Hotel, New York Park4 stars870 7th Ave New York, NY, 10019, the United States of America, 800 491 9657Our lowest price is $129.Hotel sizeThis hotel has 761 rooms.This hotel has over 18 floors.Arriving/LeavingCheck-in time starts at 4: 00 p. m.Check-out time is at noon.Required at check-inCredit card deposit is required.Government-issued photo ID card is required.Minimum check-in age is 21.Children (11 years old and younger) stay free when taking the parent’s room or the guardian’s（监护人的）room, using existing（现存的）bedding（寝具）．PetsPets are not allowed.InternetWi-Fi in public areasValet parking（代客泊车）Smoke-free property（No smoking）（1）The lowest price of the hotel is ______.
