People in ancient times saw that the sun came up from one side of the earth, moved across the sky and went down to the other side. Based on this observation, they believed that the sun travels around the earth. Going directly from observation to conclusion is called non-scientific thinking.Here is an example of non-scientific thinking. Maybe you had a sick stomach, and ate a candy bar. An hour later, you found that you felt much better. You might conclude that it was the candy bar that made you feel better. But there are other possible reasons for the observation. Maybe you had taken some medicine an hour earlier, and it took a while to work. Maybe enough time had passed, and you would have felt better without eating the candy bar. Non-scientific thinking happens all the time.The scientific method is a way of thinking that helps you to avoid making incorrect conclusions. It helps you to avoid non-scientific thinking. It reminds you to treat your first conclusion as one of several possible conclusions. It reminds you to gather evidence(证据)to support your conclusion. The four steps in the scientific method begin by questioning an observation, and end with a conclusion that is based on evidence. First, you can ask a question about your observation, such as, “What makes a sick stomach feel better?” Second, state a possible answer to the question, such as, “A candy bar makes a sick stomach feel better.” Third, test your guess, this can be done in many different ways. You could wait until you have a sick stomach again, eat a candy bar, and see what happens. Finally, think and conclude—think about what happened when you tested and you can make a conclusion. 32.The underlined word “observation” in Paragraph 1 means “________”.A.watching carefully B.giving examples C.guessing quickly D.making conclusions33.The purpose of the example in the second paragraph is to ________.A.ask readers to take some medicine as early as they canB.help readers understand what non-scientific thinking isC.show how to make conclusions directly from observationsD.conclude that eating a candy bar can make people feel better34.The last paragraph mainly talks about ________.A.what makes non-scientific thinkingB.an example of non-scientific thinkingC.ways to make a sick stomach feel betterD.how to use the scientific method correctly35.The text is most probably taken from ________.A.an advertisement B.a movie poster C.a guide book D.a science magazineDennis didn’t feel like sleeping. He had gone to bed at the same time every night for as long as he could remember. He was tired of going to bed when his parents told him to. So one night, when fall seemed over, but it wasn’t yet winter, he decided he would stay up!What Dennis didn’t realize is that staying awake at night is hard when your body needs to sleep. He tried everything he could think of to stop himself from falling asleep. He tried counting wolves(if counting sheep makes you sleepy, then counting wolves must surely do the opposite), but unfortunately it made him even more tired. He started to suspect that it was the counting, and not the choice of animal, that made people sleepy.Dennis was just about ready to give up when he heard a squeak(吱吱叫)from his hamster(仓鼠)Charlie. He went over to Charlie’s cage, but it was empty. Dennis followed the sounds of squeaking until he found Charlie on the floor, looking behind the door. Dennis noticed that something back there was throwing things at Charlie! Coins, balls of paper, and even some stones were flying in Charlie’s direction, as he squeaked.“What’s there, Charlie?” Dennis asked as he picked up the hamster and walked towards the door.What he saw made him wonder if he had actually fallen asleep and not realized it.“It’s a…it’s a rabbit!” he said. No bigger than Charlie(and no smaller), the rabbit wore a yellow shirt, a tiny pair of green pants, and a hat.“Why are you throwing things at my hamster, rabbit?” asked Dennis.“Why do you keep a vicious(凶猛的)hamster as a pet, human?” asked the rabbit. “Charlie is not vicious! More importantly, why are you in my room, rabbit?” asked Dennis. “That is an interesting question, human.”“My name is not ‘human’, it’s Dennis.” Dennis said angrily. “I already know your name.And rabbits have names too!”Dennis didn’t say anything for a moment, and neither did the rabbit. It was an awkward (尴尬的)silence for everyone except Charlie who, as usual, had fallen asleep shortly after Dennis picked him up.“Well, what is your name then?” asked Dennis.36.When did the story take place?A.One night in late autumn.B.One late afternoon in summer. C.One afternoon in early spring.D.One early morning in winter. 37.Why does the writer uses the punctuation mark “…” in the sentence “It’s a…it’s a rabbit!”?A.To show his certainty of this subject.B.To hide his limited knowledge in animals.C.To express Dennis’ surprise at the rabbit.D.To display Dennis’ worry about his hamster.38.Which is the right order of the following events?a. Dennis heard the sounds of squeaking.b. The rabbit threw balls of paper at Charlie.c. Dennis tried to count wolves to stay awake.d. Charlie fell asleep shortly after Dennis picked him up.A.c-d-a-b B.d-a-c-b C.d-c-a-b D.c-b-a-d 39.What is the best title for the story?A.Dennis’ lovely hamster B.Ways to stay up lateC.Dennis’ unusual night D.Advice on falling asleep 40.According to the last paragraph, what would most probably happen next?A.The rabbit would run away at once.B.The rabbit would tell Dennis his name. C.The rabbit would throw things at Dennis.D.The rabbit would fall asleep with Dennis.四、根据汉语提示填空41.—What’s the _____ (日期) today, Millie?—It’s 17 June. Oh, tomorrow is Dragon Boat Festival.42.These days, citizens must show their health codes and travel codes before entering________ places. (公共)43.Students should always go over what they have learned in time after class in order to________ better.

Clothes bought at thrift shops are more popular than ever in the West nowadays.A lot of young people have an interest in secondhand clothing.Goodwill Industries, one of the most famous secondhand shopping companies in the US, said there had been an increase of 84 percent in money made from the sale of donated goods from 2007 to 2012, from $1.9 billion(about 13 billion yuan) to $3.5 billion.Fanny Moizant, an online group that sells used clothes from luxury brands(奢侈品牌), agrees that “secondhand” is part of fashion now.“Fashion has changed,” she told the Financial Times last month.” People need our service ----they need a place to let go and get rid of this excess(过剩).”It wasn’t always this way. Secondhand clothes used to be much less popular.Keren Charles, 37, from the US, remembers how embarrassed she was the first time she entered a thrift store more than 20 years ago.“I didn’t want anyone to see me,” Charles told CNN. “In high school, people thought y ou were either poor or homeless.”Now, the fashion fan says about 97 percent of her clothes are secondhand. Her favorite find is a $5 blue evening dress that could be worth hundreds of dollars.So what is a thrift shop, exactly?According to the US Association of Resale Professionals, a thrift shop is run by a not-for –profit(非盈利的)organization to get money to charitable causes.The shops have become popular in recent times due to economic reasons.More customers began coming to thrift shops in the US at the start of the recession(萧条), according to CNN.And now secondhand clothing and vintage items are showing up in Western high fashion and street wear.Fashionable hip-hop artist Macklemore and Ryan Lewis even wore a 2013 Billboard Music Award for their hit song Thrift Shop. The song is about “looking for a come up”(search for cheap things in a thrift store.However, thrift store culture may be great for new shoppers and for business but it’s not so great for shoppers like Charles who are still “looking for a come up.”“The competition is tough now,” she told CNN. “You’re in the thrift stores, and you’re seeing so many other people, but it’s still better than shopping at a department store.”1.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A.Vintage items sell better than other used clothes.B.Thrift shops are a new form of shops that have appeared in the last 10 years.C.Thrift shops sell used clothes in order to help people in need.D.Y oung people show less interest in secondhand clothing than older people.2.According to the article, secondhand clothes have become popular in the West because _______.A.there are more thrift stores to shop inB.people have to live on less moneyC.artists and stars are often seen in secondhand clothesD.people now care less about others’ opinions3.The underlined word “Vintage” in paragraph 15 probably means“_________”.A.old but expensive B.large and very beautiful C.old but high quality D.popular and new4.What is the article mainly about?A.The popularity of thrift store culture.B.The importance of recycling secondhand clothes.C.Different attitudes toward thrift shops.D.The influence of the economy on fashion.B14、What is a Chinatown? Is it a town in China? Of course not! The Chinatown is a part of a town area with a large number of Chinese residents(居民),usually outside China. Chinatowns are throughout the world, including those in East Asia, Southeast Asia, North America, South America, Australia, and Europe. The biggest one is in New York.

Calendars help early people to know ______ .A. how the weather changesB. what the moon is likeC. when the crops are plantedD. where the shadow pointsRCan you imagine a sea of sand three times bigger than IndiaThis is the Sahara Desert,the largest desert in the world.It covers 11 countries in North Africa and is over 9 million square kilometres.That's more than 25% of Africa.In the Sahara,temperatures are very different during the day and at night.It is much hotter during the day.The hottest time is between 2 p.m.and 4 p.m. ,when temperatures rise to 38℃.But it is very cold at night—the coldest time is at 4 a.m. ,when temperatures fall to -4°C.The Sahara is also very dry.It seldom rains.Because of the temperatures in the desert,it is a very difficult place to survive.Here are some tips on how to stay alive in the Sahara Desert.During the day,cover your body,head and face.Clothes protect you from the sun and keep water in your body.You will also need a warm blanket at night.It can get cold very quickly.When the temperature drops,it can be a shock and make you feel even colder.A car is easier to see than a person walking in the desert.You can also use the mirrors from your car to signal to planes and other cars.You can use your car tyres (轮胎)to make a fire.A fire is easy to see.It will help people find you and it will keep you warm at night.Try to drink some water at least once every hour.You need your water to last as long as possible.Drink only what you need.When you talk,you lose water from your body.Keep your mouth closed and do not talk.If you eat,you will get thirsty and drink all of your water more quickly.You can eat a little,but only to stop you from feeling very hungry.Eat very small amounts of food and eat very slowly.You can live for three weeks with no food,but you can only live for three days without water.A small place near a tree or a rock will be the warmest.But be careful before you decide where to sleep.Dangerous animals like snakes and scorpions also like to sleep in these places.Look carefully for animals before you lie down.29. How does the writer describe the Sahara Desert in Paragraph 1 and 2______A. By telling reasons.B. By listing numbers.C. By giving examples.D. By explaining points.30.

Eating at least once every hour helps avoid getting hungry.B. Little rain in the Sahara makes it a difficult place to survive.C. Mirrors and tyres can be used to give information to ask for helpD. Places near trees or rocks are the warmest and safest for sleeping.Ann wanted to play in the Community Orchestra(管弦乐队),but she was nervous.She thought the music might be too difficult.The first day she was so nervous that she could hardly tune the strings (调音)of her instrument.The only orchestra she had ever played in was the one at school.After a few rehearsals(排练),she was comfortably playing along with everyone else.She realized that there was no reason to be nervous and began to enjoy herself.In rehearsals,Ann became friends with Danny,who sat next to her.Danny was always helpful.Ann liked to ask him questions about music.Danny's parents were musicians.They had started teaching Danny music when he was only five years old.Ann couldn't imagine playing the violin at that age.Danny told her that many famous musicians and composers started studying music at a very young age.Another orchestra member who became a friend of Ann's was Marie.Marie played the clarinet(单簧管).After rehearsal,she would tell Ann funny stories.Marie said that when she played the clarinet at home as a child,it squeaked so much that she got the nickname "Squeaky" That was a long time ago.Now Marie had a beautiful tone on the clarinet.Sometimes,just to make Ann laugh,Marie would make her clarinet squeak.Even though Marie was much older than Ann,the two became good friends.The orchestra was rehearsing music for the spring concert.Ann liked all the composers,but Mozart was her favourite.Some of her friends didn't understand why she liked Mozart.But they promised to come to the spring concert anyway.Ann's family was also planning to attend the concert.They didn't know any of these composers either.Ann looked forward to the event,and she hoped it would not rain on the night of the concert.On the night of the spring concert,Ann was excited.She had never played for so many people before.Danny and Marie both told her that the spring concert is always fun.Ann knew that she would enjoy it.The conductor (指挥),who usually seemed quite calm,was nervous.Ann was surprised because she knew that he had been in big concerts all over the world for at least 40 years.After the concert was over,the conductor seemed pleased.He praised the members of the orchestra for their fine performance.32. Which BEST describes Ann at the beginning of the passage?______A. She was excited to make new friends.B. She was afraid she would make a mess.C. She was willing to try something new.D.

Ann's friends didn't like the rain.B. The concert was going to be held outside.C. The concert was going to be held at night.D. Ann couldn't walk to the concert in the rain.35. What would happen later in the passage?______A. Ann would decide to be a conductor.B. Ann would play in many more concerts.C. Ann and Marie will teach children music.D. Ann and Danny would join another orchestra.TLike detectives,archaeologists use evidence to solve mysteries.Detectives look for clues to solve crimes.Archaeologists look for clues to help them understand how people lived long ago.In fact,the word "archaeology" means "the study of ancient things".One type of evidence used to learn about the past is pottery.People have used pottery for thousands of years all over the world.Old pottery is usually found in pieces called "potsherds".Sometimes potsherds found in the same place can be put back together to re-create the original pot.Even in pieces,old pottery can teach us about the past.When examining pottery,archaeologists consider not only its appearance but what it was made of and how it was made.With this knowledge,they can get information about people's lives in ancient times. ①Pottery is made by first adding water to a kind of soil called clay.When wet,clay can be formed into shapes.It is then heated.This hardens (使变硬)the clay and allows it to keep its shape.To make clay easier to shape and heat,potters (制陶工)use something called "temper".Different materials can be used as temper.An archaeologist can tell where a pot came from by the types of clay and temper that were used.Sometimes a pot found in one location might have materials from another place. ②Some of the earliest pots were made quite simply.A piece of clay was hollowed (掏空)out and shaped into a bowl.It was then heated at a low temperature.The finished pot was rough (粗糙),and often undecorated.This type of pot might be used for cooking. ③Later,coiled pots were made.These were made by first rolling the clay into a long snake shape.The coil was then wound (绕)in circles to form a pot.They were often decorated in different ways.These pots were heated at high temperatures.The higher the temperature,the harder and longer-lasting the pot.Further improvements in pottery-making developed in different times and places. ④A pot's shape and decoration can provide clues about the past.Painted pictures might show events from daily life or from ancient stories.Archaeologists know certain shapes and styles that were common in different times and places.Archaeologists study the differences in types of pottery closely.Because of their work,these daily objects can tell some of the mysteries of the past.36. When examining pottery,archaeologists consider not only its appearance but what it was made of and how it was made.The word "examining" means " ______ " in English.A. studyingB. displayingC. searchingD. discovering37. Why are the words "potsherds" and "temper" written in quotation marks (引号)in Paragraphs2 and 3?______A. To remind readers that both words are very useful.B. To make sure readers understand the words correctly.C. To show that these words come from other languages.D. To introduce the words that may be unknown to readers.38. When is temper added to the clay?______A. Before the clay is shaped.B. After the pot is heated.C. While the pot is being decorated.D. When the clay is hollowed.39. We can put the sentence "This can provide clues about how people traded or travelled. " in Blank ______ .A. ①B. ②C. ③D. ④40. What is the main idea of this passage?______A. People have used pottery for thousands of years all over the world.B. Pots are decorated with pictures that show events from ancient stories.C. Ancient pottery can tell about the lives of the people who made and used it.D. Archaeologists look for clues to solve mysteries in different times and places.41. Chinese gardens are a special ______ (形式)of traditional Chinese culture and art.42. Notre-Dame de Paris is a great novel written by the ______ (法国的)writer Victor Hugo.43. I had a happy childhood with my ______ (年纪较长的)sister because I never felt lonely.44. Teachers should ______ (鼓励)students to develop a habit of deep thinking.45. —Mum,when will dad be back?He's been away for a week.—If all goes ______ (顺利地),he should arrive home tomorrow afternoon.46. —Excuse me.I want to speak to Mr.Lin.—I'm afraid that's ______ (possible).He's gone to Shanghai on business.47. It's a long time!I can't remember when this picture ______ (take)in Xihui Park.48. Wing Tsun is a kind of exercise which helps people improve ______ (they)in health.49. In most cultures,people put their fingers up to their mouths to ask for ______ (silent).50. These days our school ______ (clear)the rubbish from every corner to make it more beautiful.51.attraction and spend two or three days.Instead of requiring a careful(1)______ and a lot of money,mini-vacation costs less and makes travelling easier.Mini-vacation has been popular in China since 2020.Long trips are less convenient(方便的),so more and more Chinese people choose to(2)______ instead.Three years ago,Zhang Wei from Nanjing preferred taking long trips abroad or leaving Nanjing to see places of interest in other Chinese provinces.Now he(3)______ this new travel style. "To stay healthy,short-distance travel is a better choice. "Zhang Wei said.But that doesn't mean he has lost fun during his short trips.At weekends,Zhang Wei likes to invite his friends to the mountains with many trees.They not only get the fresh air and enjoy the(4)______ of flowers,but also keep away from busy life.Travel doesn't mean you need to(5)______ to find a resting place for your heart.That's also what mini-vacation can do.(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)52. Nowadays,whenever a customer wants to order food,it's at their fingertips with take-out apps like Meituan and Eleme.All a hungry person has to do is to open the app,scroll through an endless number of restaurant choices,and have the food delivered to their door.That convenience(便捷)and variety(多样性)has made such apps hugely welcome in China,Japan,North American countries and European countries,and especially during the COVID- 19 pandemic.Many users say food delivery apps make their life much easier while others think they're bad for local businesses.What do you think Should take-out apps be banned(禁止)?Yes—the convenience isn't worth itMany restaurants complain that take-out apps are more trouble than they're worth.Some apps take a huge bite of the money from each sale—as much as 25%.Restaurants must either increase their prices or make less money,in an industry where profits(利润)are already slim.Also,they can't always keep up with the increasing number of orders they receive.That makes customers unsatisfied with their service and products.Meanwhile,delivery workers say they're not paid enough for a difficult,dangerous job in which they have to speed through busy streets.And what's more,food delivery causes very serious environmental problems.According to a report,only plastic waste of all deliveries in China came to 1,600,000 tons in 2020.Can you imagine what it's like in the whole world?No—they offer an important serviceFood apps bring restaurants more customers.Many of them might not know about their business otherwise.More customers means more orders,so even if the apps charge a fee (收费),the restaurant still wins.During the past few years when people couldn't go out to eat,the apps helped businesses stay afloat (维持下去)and created millions of restaurant and delivery jobs.Delivery people work hard,but they can choose when and where to work.And for busy people,the appsprovide the convenience of getting all kinds of food after a long day at work or school,allowing for more time with family and friends.Should take-out apps be bannedPresent situation Take-out apps make it much(1)______ to order food.Food delivery apps are(2)______ used all over the world.Different(3)______ about take-out apps.The convenience isn't worth itApps take as much as one(4)______ of money from each sale.Too many orders(5)______ the quality of service and products.Delivery workers(6)______ riding their e-bikes too fast through busy streets.Waste from all deliveries is a(7)______ for the environment.They offer an important service.They help restaurants catch more customers' (8)______ and win more orders.They can(9)______ restaurant and delivery workers with more jobs.Ordering meals on apps helps busy people(10)______ time.53. Ten years ago,my parents bought some comic books for my brother.He wasn't i(1)______ but I thought they were fantastic.Those comics had all the things I liked best—good stories,clever drawing and comedy.At once,I started drawing my own comics and I have never s(2)______ .Now,I've got a blog(博客)where I upload my comics.I've developed a group of characters and make up stories for t(3)______ ,and I haven't run out of ideas yet!Drawing comics takes a lot of time,and I'm still in school.There's a lot of schoolwork this year,and it keeps me b(4)______ .Sometimes,I get time to draw during my breaks,but mainly I do it at home,which is a quiet place for me.Fans sometimes c(5)______ me on my blog,and it's a good feeling to write back to them.Last year,I went to a national youth comic festival,which was great for finding out in detail h(6)______ other teenagers make their comics.For example,most other teenagers I met use computers to draw.Although I know how to do that,and it takes less time,I p(7)______ to draw by hand.It's how I drew to begin with and my drawing skills have improved a lot.Recently,because of the success of my blog,articles about me have appeared in newspapers and m (8)______ .But I'm not used to that.Though I don't mind reporters asking me questions,I sometimes regret my replies,and hale having my photo taken.I was feeling uncomfortable when a reporter e(9)______ called me he coolest teenager".Me My friends would laugh at that!However,one amazing thing is that some of my comic-writing heroes have written to congratulate(祝贺)me on my s(10)______ .What's next Well,developing my art skills.I may take an animation course during the school holidays.I can't imagine my life without making comics.(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)54. 学校英语俱乐部将要开展英语辩论活动。

The logo (标识) is then seen by people as they go about their daily business. The pair sold their first face ads to friends and family for just £1 a day, but as need has increased, so has the daily price , which has reached an amazing £400 by now, the end of May. So far , the main customers have been Paddy Power , the online betting agency ( 网络博彩企业), and accountancy firm ( 会计事务所)Earnest & Young , which is now the website ‘s official sponsor ( 赞助商). Moyse and Harper said , “ It’s our special way of paying off our student debts. We’ve seen so many students unsuccessfully applying for jobs , only to find one that they never really wanted. It’s just something a bit different and has taken off qui te nicely.” ( 236 words)1.Why do the two Oxford graduates sell advertising space on their faces?A.To raise money for their friends.B.To earn money for their family.C.To pay off their university debts .D.To pay for their online betting2.Where can people buy their advertising space ?A.At Oxford University.B.At the website buymyface. .C.At the accountancy firm.D.At the online betting agency.3.How much money do they earn every day on average (平均) so far ?A.Just £1 . B.About£100 . C.Over £400. D.Up to£500.4.From the last paragraph we can learn that Moyse and Harper _____________________.A.are satisfied with their special jobB.have paid off their debts alreadyC.are ready to apply for another jobD.never really wanted to do face adsB14、Maybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives. Giving someone all your love never means that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return; but if it does not, be glad it grows in yours.It takes an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Do not depend on one's appearance, it may not be true. Do not depend on wealth, even that disappears slowly. Depend on someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug(拥抱) them.Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials(尝试) to make you strong, enough sadness to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.The happiest people do not necessarily give the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness waits for those who cry, those who have been hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tired, for only they can enjoy the importance of people who have touched their lives.The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off.When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.1.(小题1)If you put yourself in another's position, ___________.A.you should depend on wealthB.you shouldn't do those things that will hurt you and other peopleC.you will do what you want to do however dangerous it is to peopleD.you should depend on other people.2.(小题2)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.If you give someone your love, you are sure that she will give her love to you in return.B.We often don’t know what we have lost until it happens.C.If someone accepts your love and he doesn’t give you his love in return, you should be angry with him.D.If it takes you an hour to love someone, you will easily forget her.3.(小题3)In the last paragraph of the passage, the writer is actually telling us that a man in the world should be one who__________.A.can accept the suggestions made by othersB.can live happily and forget the pastC.does good to the people and wins their respectD.has made a lot of money for himself when he diesC15、Our factories and homes burn coal and oil. Every year we have forest fires somewhere. Many scientists believe that the climate is changing.The earth will perhaps be warmer by about 7 degrees centigrade. At the South Pole and the North Pole, the ice will melt (融化). The sea level (海平面) will rise by about 7meters. As a result, water will cover cities like London, Tokyo and New York. Some ports and towns along the coasts will disappear under water.Some other scientists think that the dust, smoke and pollution from coal, wood and oil fires will block out the sunrays(紫外线). Then the earth will become colder and great sheets of ice will cover Europe and North America.When chemicals in the air mix with rain, we have acid (酸) rain. Acid rain can bring us great harm. It destroys forests and kills life in lakes and rivers.People are beginning to see how serious the problem is. They find it important to work with nature instead of against it. They are trying to save the earth in many different ways. But one of the most important things to do is to make people understand that saving the earth is saving ourselves.1.Some scientists believe that .A.the earth is growing warmerB.we can find oil in our forestsC.we have to burn down the forests every year2.Ice at the poles will if the earth gets warmer.A.cover cities like London and TokyoB.raise the sea level by 7 degreesC.become water and make the sea level rise3.Acid rain .A.brings great changes in our climateB.kills pests in lakes and forestsC.kills the fish in rivers and lakes4.What can we learn from the third paragraph?A.The dust together with pollution from coal, wood and oil fires will bring us more heat from the sun.B.The sunrays will come more because of the dust and pollution from fires.C.As a result of the dust and pollution from coal, wood and oil fires, the earth will become colder.5.Which statement is TRUE?A.People have come to know the importance of working with nature.B.All the scientists agree that our earth is sure to become warmer and warmer.C.The sea level will rise if the earth gets colder.D16、You’re chatting with friends on the phone, but you can’t help looking through shopping websites in the meantime. You’re having lunch alone in the dining hall, but it only feels right when you start playing a show on your phone ---as if it’s a necessary “side dish”.We’re now living in a world that is filled with information. It seems unnatural to do only one thing at a time. It’s as if we’re all suffering from a recent article call ed “multitasking OCD”.“With news reduced to 140 characters and communication increasingly by emojis, we have developed the ability to focus our attention on several activities and devices at once,” Sabry Otmani, founder of Pulpix website, once wrote. “We need something exciting to keep us interested and to fight off boredom.”But perhaps “fighting off boredom” is not the only reason.My own obsession with multitasking mainly comes from the fact that everyone around me seems to study all the time. Each minu te I’m not taking in something new feels like a waste of time. So I always have my headphones on, whether I’m commuting, exercising or walking in the park. I’m forever listening to something---a course on classical music, or on new media management, and heaven knows what else---just so I can keep up with the world.what their friends are doing and saying. But I’d guess that “FOFO” better des cribes me –“fear of falling out”.No matter what reason you’re doing it for, “multitasking” is already a part of the modern lifestyle. Just make sure you make the most out of it.1.In the first paragraph, the author wants to ______.A.show how busy today’s life isB.show that people today often feel lostC.explain what “multitasking OCD” is likeD.say people like to compare with each other2.According to Sabry Otmani people today like multitasking because _______.A.it can help them to communicate their ideasB.it can help them out of being boredC.they are impatient to finish one thing at a timeD.they are more able than the past generations3.The underlined word “obsession” may mean “_______”.A.interest B.knowledge C.understanding D.worry4.Which of the following is correct about the writer?A.She wants to stay ahead of her friends.B.She wants to have something to show off.C.She doesn’t want to get left behind by others.D.She thinks it is boring to do one thing at a time.E17、Many Chinese girls love "small, fresh meat", which refers to young, effeminate(女人气的) male stars. However, not everyone is a fan of them. On Sept. 6, an article described some male stars as too effeminate.This came after CCTV was criticized for inviting several young male stars to perform on First Class for the New Semester,an educational TV show for primary and secondary school students, which aired 5days earlier. After that, many parents left comments online, saying the stars in the show had a bad influence on their children.The popularity of effeminate male stars is partly down to the influence of Japanese and South Korean pop culture, an expert told China Daily. However, the “femininity” of males isn't a recent social phenomenon. In fact, being effeminate was popular among Chinese men centuries ago.Indeed, the debate about effeminate male stars has been going on for a while. In July, a Hong Kong singer said during the singing reality show Sing! China that he feels tired of seeing effeminate male stars. “It isn't that they'r e not good, but we shoulddiscover ourselves.”He said during the show.His opinion was shared by a Chinese director. “Some young actors are feminine and they should be more manly,” he said.Deng Xiquan, head of the Youth Research Institute at the China Youth and Children Research Center, believes such a phenomenon is completely natural.“It will be replaced by a new youth culture at some stage. If a man has feminine beauty, thi s doesn't mean that he lacks responsibility,” Deng told China Daily. Deng's opinio n was echoed by the People's Daily.“A man's strength should be judged on the basis of their inner qualities - not their phyical apperance,” it wrote.1.First Class for the New Semester aired on_________A.Sept.6 B.Sept.3 C.Sept.2 D.Sept.12.From the third paragraph we can know that_________A.the popularity of effeminacy appeared in Japan firstB.young, effeminate male stars are popular in South KoreaC.in China, being effeminate was popular hundreds of years agoD.Chinese experts don't think effeminate male stars are popular3.Which of the following is RIGHT about the Hong Kong singer?A.He doesn't like effeminate male stars. B.He thinks some young actors are more manly.C.He doesn't know anything about Sing! China. D.He asks women to discover themselves.4.The underlined word“echoed" here means“_________”in Chinese.A.利用B.附和C.质疑D.声明5.What’s the passage mainly about?A.“Feminine” men cause hot debates.B.The time being effeminate appeared.C.The way to become effeminate men. D.People criticize effeminate men.F18、Imagine one day, the water taps (水龙头) in your house stop running. You have to pay a lot of money to buy water from shops. And still there isn’t enough water for everyone. Your mother has to save the family’s shower (洗澡) water to use for washing clothes. Then she has to use that same dirty water to wash other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life? Probably not. But that’s what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts say Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a World Bank report, the capital, Sana, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025. Because of the water shortage (短缺) in Yemen, the government often cuts the water supply. Hannan, an 18-year-old from Lahej,told the Times, “In a good week we’ll have a water supply (供给) all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.”Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water trucks. Privatecompanies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water--- at very high prices. “A lot of people can’t afford it,” she said.The average (平均的) person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic meters of water per year. That is far below the international water poverty(贫困)line of 1,000 cubic meters.The government is thinking of making use of sea water. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.1.The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refers to ______.A.drinking water B.buying water from shopsC.suffering from water shortage D.washing clothes with used water2.Which of the following is not true?A.Common people in Yemen don’t have enough water to use.B.People in Yemen have no water to use during a bad week.C.Rich people in Yemen buy water at very high prices.D.Private companies in Yemen sell water on their trucks.3.It can be inferred(推断) that ______.A.the capital of Yemen is developing fastB.Hannan is a teenager from a rich familyC.Sana will run out of water in 10 yearsD.private companies selling water make a lot of money4.The Yemen government ______.A.can do nothing about the problem of water shortageB.may try to make use of sea waterC.only cares about rich people’s livesD.has found a practical solutionⅤ.书面表达19、假设你是Tony,你校将开展“读好书”的活动。

D.(B)When you first meet Meggie, you may think she’s strange. She often tells people which word “tastes” good and who has a “delicious” name. But she’s not crazy. She has synesthesia (伴生感觉), something only one in 2,000 people has.People who have synesthesia experience the world differently. For some people, different words “taste” differently, for some, numbers or letters have colors, and for some, music “touches” parts of their bodies. Many of them experience more than one kind of synesthesia, while some have just one, like Meggie.Each of them has their own experience- two people with synesthesia may both “feel” music, but they almost never feel the music in the same way. For example, one may feel the music of the violin lightly brushing his face; the other may feel it on her ankle (脚踝). And one’s experience of synesthesia is always the same. If they see the number 5 in the color blue, then 5 is blue every time they see it.There’s one thing about synesthesia: it can’t be “turned off”. If you have synesthesia, you’ll experience it all the time. Meggie once met a guy and his name made her think of the taste of bad eggs. He was a fun guy, but afterthinking about his name all night, she felt too sick to be friends with him. Even so, she still likes this “gift” because that’s what makes her different.29. What do you learn about Meggie from the first paragraph?A. She has a strange name.B. She is a good person.C. She is a crazy person.D. She is special in a way.30. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A. People with synesthesia experience the world differently.B. For some people with synesthesia, different words “taste” differently.C. For some people with synesthesia, numbers or letters have colors.D. Many people with synesthesia experience more than one kind of it.31. What did Meggie stop being friends with the guy?A. He often played jokes on her.B. He enjoys eating bad eggs.C. She couldn’t stand his name.D. She did not like his gift.32. Which of the following might be said by Meggie?A. “The sound of drums touches my back.”B. “The number zero tastes like an apple.”C. “The name Shakespeare is in bright purple.”D. “The music of the violin lightly brushes my face.”(C)As we all know, too much trash is a big problem for our environment. A woman in Indonesia’s Java island has come up with a great idea —lending books to children in exchange for trash.Raden Roro Hendarti, nearly 50 years old, is a librarian in Muntang village. She started a “trash library”, hoping to make children read more as well as make them realize the importance of environment protection. Each weekday, Raden puts all kinds of books on the back of her three-wheeler (三轮车) and rides to Muntang village. There, children line up to exchange plastic cups, bags and other trash for books from Raden’s mobile library. After finishing the exchange, Raden carries back all the trash.In the library where Raden works, there are thousands of books. Every time she shows up, children run to her “trash library”. They all carry trash bags, and Raden’s three-wheeler quickly fills with trash as the books fly out. Raden collects about 100kg of trash each week. It is then sorted out (分类) and sent for recycling or sale. She is happy that children spend less time on online games because of the books.Raden plans to take the mobile library service to neighboring areas as well. She says, “We all should take care of our trash in order to fight climate (气候) change and save the earth.”33. What does the underlined word “trash” mean?A. plasticB. rubbishC. paperD. information34. Which of the following shows how Raden’s idea works?①She rides to Muntang village.① She carries back all the trash.①Children line up to get books for their trash.① She puts books on her three-wheeler.35. How much trash can Raden collect each weekday?A. About 100 kg.B. About 50 kg.C. About 25 kg.D. About 20 kg.36. What’s Raden going to do next?A. To ask her neighbors for help.B. To give the mobile library to her neighbors.C. To exchange books for trash in more villages.D. To tell children to spend less time on online games.(D)“Oh, boys, don’t throw stones at the poor bird,” said an old grey-headed man.“Sir,” said a little one,” she makes such a loud noise that we can’t bear her.”“I am afraid the stone will rebound (反弹) and hurt you as long as you live!”“Rebound! We don’t understand you, sir!”“Well, I will tell you a true story.“Fifty years ago, I liked throwing stones because I had no other boy to playwith and I became very skillful. One day I went to work for an old couple who werevery friendly to everybody, even to the birds. And the birds seemed to love the oldcouple, too. For seven years a bird had come and built her nest (鸟巢) in the same place. She and her mate had just returned on the day I went to work and the old couple welcomed them happily. During the day, I thought I would try my skill upon her. Suddenly the bird flew to a tree near me. I found a nice stone, and I threw it with my best skill. It hit the bird on the head and she dropped dead!“I was sorry the moment I saw her fall off the tree. But it was too late. All day long her mate flew about, and chirped (发啁啾声) so sadly that he made my heart ache.. I said nothing to the old couple but one of their grandchildren told them about it. Though the old couple never said a word to me, I knew that they were very sad. I could never look them in the eye and tell them how sorry I was. They have been dead for many, many years, and so has the poor bird. But don’t you see how that stone rebounded, and hit me? For fifty years I have still remembered it though I have never spoken of it before. But if what I have told you will stop you, I will be happy.”The boys at once dropped the stones in their hands and the bird had no more trouble from them.37. Why did the boy throw stones at the bird according to what the little boy said?A. Because they wanted to catch the bird.B. Because they thought the bird was noisy.C. Because they wanted to practice their skills.D. Because they thought throwing stones was fun.38. Which word can best describe the old couple?A. Kind.B. Strict.C. Proud.D. Funny.39. The underlined word “They” refers to ________.A. the birdsB. the old coupleC. the boysD. the grandchildren40. What can we learn from the text?A. Don’t hurt others, or you will hurt yourself.B. Try to save others and you will feel happier.C. Keep practicing and you will be very skillful.D. Don’t waste time, or you will achieve nothing.四、词汇填空(共15小题;每小题1分, 满分15分)A) 根据句意和汉语提示,用正确的单词填空。
