The first few years were almost as difficult as it was in Mexico, but 17 things began getting better.When Michael turned 19, he decided to go to a community college.

I never studied, but always got perfect scores. I thought I was born clever. At least I believed so. I was also a prodigy in music according to myself. I could sing better than almost everyone else in my school. I was pretty sure that once I got to sixth grade, everyone would be surprised by me.But actually, they weren’t.When I arrived at my new class, I couldn’t wait to show everyone what I could do.However, there was always someone else who could do them better. My grades began to suffer.More talented(有天资的) girls often sang solo (独唱). I believed I wasn’t smart. I believed Iwasn’t talented. I believed I was a failure.Over the next two years, I had to work very hard. Every prize for the singing competition was given to me for hard work and effort. Grades were still very low but improving little by little. I worked really hard. However, I was never the best at everything.I haven’t realized until recently that I really don’t have to be the best at everything. I was too hard on myself. In fact, when I did badly in a test, my classmates never laughed at me.No one is perfect. There will probably always be someone better than me at something. Anyway, there are over seven billion people in this world. I will never be the number one at everything, and that’s really okay.21.What does “a prodigy” probably mean in English?A. A smart kid.B.

Don’t expect too much of yourself.D. It’s not necessary to care about the result.25.Which can be the best title for this passage?A. When I wasn’t perfectB. My past life as a young girlC. Hard work doesn’t workD. How to be perfectBIt has been forty years since China’s Reform and Opening-up(改革开放). Let’s see how China has changed through the years.1978-1988: New LookIn a 1978 Japanese documentary(纪录片) China’s New Look, there was a scene showing Chinese people’s life back then. In front of an old-fashioned TV set, some Shanghainese gathered around to watch a TV show. In 1981, only one out of every 170 city families in China had a colour TV.1988-1998: ▲In October 1990, the first McDonald’s on the Chinese mainland opened for business in Shenzhen. It quickly became the hottest tourist spot(旅游景点). “Many Chinese customers waited in line and shouted to the shop assistant, ‘I want 10 Big Macs,’” recalled a waiter at McDonald’ s at that time.1998-2008: Here Comes WTOFor many Chinese, the year 2001 was very unforgettable. It marked the start of a new millennium(一千年) and led to a whole new era(时代) as China joined the World Trade Organization(WTO). From 2001 to 2017, China’s average(平均的) growth of the imports(进口) of goods and services was more than twice the world’s average.2008-2018: New BeginningShanghai, a city of long-time business culture, is always a step ahead in China’s foreign trade. With the successful hosting of China’s first import expo(展览会) in November 2018, the city went on to develop China’s import business. The expo will be remembered as a new beginning for China’s import history.26.Which picture shows the scene of China’s New Look?A B C D27.Which of the following can be put in ▲?A.

Worried.29.What can we learn after China joined the WTO?A. Chinese people began to travel abroad.B. China grew very fast in its imports.C. China became more and more popular.D. Foreigners bought a lot of products from China.30.When and where was China’s first import expo held?A. In Shanghai, in November, 2001.B. In Shenzhen, in November, 2001.C. In Shanghai, in November, 2018.D. In Shenzhen, in November, 2018.C“Life is speeding up.Everyone is getting unwell.”This may sound like something someone would say today.But in fact, an unknown person who lived in Rome in AD 53 wrote it.We all love new inventions.They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives.But have all theseinventions really improved the quality of our lives?Picture this.You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer.Your mobile phone rings. A WeChat message from your friend appears on the screen, and the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work.Now you have to stay up all night to get it done.How happy do you feel?Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us stressed and tired.Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, even no electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they live simpler lives.One family in the UK went back in time to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today.The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin,10 and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phone.The grandmother, Lyn, said, “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes.” The boys said they fought less.Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer.Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a “trendy, beer-drinking granny” to one who cooked things.31.The writer uses the quote(引号) at the beginning of the story to ________.A. tell us a truth about our livesB. tell us what life was like long time agoC. point out what causes such a thing to happenD. point out some problems we will meet in life32.In the passage, the writer describes a picture to show that new inventions ________.A. have speeded up our livesB. may bring people some troubleC. may make people feel very happyD. have improved the quality of our lives33.The family chose to spend some time in a 1940s house because ________.A. they loved to live simple livesB. they were troubled by modern inventionsC. living in a different time would be a lot of fun for themD. they wanted to know how people lived without modern inventions34.According to the passage, which is NOT right?A. People who live far away from noisy cities often seem to be happier.B. The family had some changes when they lived in a 1940s house.C. An unknown Roman was sure that the quality of life would get better.D. With the improvement of our lives, we often feel stressed and tired.35.The passage is mainly about ________.A. problems with technologyB. changes of technologyC. the importance of technologyD. improvements in our lives with technology四、从方框中选择最佳选项补全对话（有两项多余）（每小题1分，共5分）Tom: Hi, Paul. I haven’t seen you for years. 36Paul: Sorry. Do we know each other? Who are you?Tom: I’m Tom, your cousin. 37Paul: Let me see. Oh, yes. I heard you were in Cambridge University.Tom: Yes. But now I have finished the university.Paul: 38 But now you are thin and tall. So I couldn’t.Tom: Really? I used to have tons of sweet food. So I was very fat.Paul: 39Tom: Yes. I still wear glasses.Paul: Where are you working now?Tom: I’m in Fudan University. I have been a teacher of the university.Paul: Great. 40 I can treat you to dinner.Tom: Thank you, but I have a meeting later.Paul: All right. See you next time.Tom: See you.As we know, transformers can change into super-fast cars.Now, scientists at Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have made these robots for real.They are not made of metal but paper!Some parts of these robots are made of toy materials.After putting in small batteries, the paper robots will start to walk slowly. They change from paper into robots in just four minutes.The robots can help people a lot.They can make discoveries in space and other dangerous places.They can also get into a place that is not wide to help people in danger.Scientists think that these robots may start a robotic revolution in the future.They believe that one day when someone wants a robot to walk their dog, he could go to a store with special machines to make it.“In principle, it will be possible to say, ‘I want a robot to play chess with me.‘and make a machine that is able to play chess with you,” one scientist said.However, they can’t change back into paper or change into other shapes.Once they are changed, they are fixed.根据短文内容完成下列句子41.These new robots are made of ________.42.The robots will begin to walk slowly after ________small batteries.43.A paper robot usually takes just ________to change into a robot.44.These robots can’t change back into paper or change into________.45.The passage mainly talks about________.六、用方框中所给单词的适当形式补全短文（每词限用一次）（每小题1分，共10分）46Ms Davis was my 6th grade teacher.I can 47 all the stories she told the class.And I especially remember one story that 48 me a lot.For weeks, I always had a(n) 49 look on my face.She told a story about a friend of hers.Her friend also kept a scowl(怒容) on her face.She would smile only when she was singing.In 50 , she was very beautiful when she smiled.When Ms Davis told the story, she was looking directly at me. 51 then, I have been careful about my expression.I also remember a trip.The bus didn’t have 52 seats for all the children, so Ms Davis chose me to ride with her.While in the car, we talked about my family.I liked to talk about 53 life with her because she always gave me some good advice.I felt that Ms Davis 54 me differently, because she cared about me, gave me rides and talked about my family. 55 looking back, she didn’t do special things for me but for the whole class.She just made each oneof us feel that we were her favorite.Thanks, Ms Davis.46.________47.________48.________49.________50.________51.________52.________53.________54.________55.________七、书面表达（25分）世界在发展，生活在变化。

There are ______ matches listed in the form in the month of May.A. twoB. threeC. fourD. fiveBFrom the time we were babies we have been taught manners. We are taught how to hold a knife and fork and not to talk with our mouths full. We are taught how to shake hands and when to stand and when to sit and the way to introduce people.Sometimes good manners in one place are very bad manners somewhere else. Almost everywhere eating together means that people are very friendly to each other. But in parts of Polynesia（波利尼西亚）it is bad manners to be seen eating beside each other. So they politely turn their backs to each other when they are taking food.Some East Africans spit four times as a kind of blessing. They do it to show that they want a sick person to get well, or to bless a new-born baby. In most other places, spitting means something completely different. It usually shows an unhealthy habit. In many countries, it may mean that you hate someone. When we go to visit someone we say “Hello！”Or “How are you?" or things like that.But if you are visiting an East African village, everyone will be very careful not to pay attention to you. The polite thing there will be for you to go quietly, without speaking to anyone, and sit beside your friend. You should wait until he has finished what he is doing and then he will begin talking to you.In a village in Arab, a visitor will walk behind all the tents until he gets to the one he wants to visit. If he passes in front, he will be invited into each tent and asked to eat. It is rude to refuse. ( ) 41. From this passage we know .A. it’s good manners to use a knife and fo rk to eatB. it's bad manners to stand and talkC. it's good manners not to talk with our mouths fullD. how to shake hands when we introduce people( ) 42. In many places，spitting may mean .A. you give a new-born baby the blessingB. you want a sick person to get wellC. you hate someoneD. you show your love to your relatives or friends( ) 43. If you visit an East African village，you .A. should say “Hello！”or “How are you？” to othersB. should talk to the villagers quietlyC. should be very careful and not to pay any attention to othersD. must wait until your friend has finished his work( )44. What does the underlined word blessing mean?A. 讨厌B. 喜欢C. 礼物D. 祝福( )45. In a village in Arab, if a visitor passes a tent in front, he will .A. be invited to eatB. refuse to get inC. be asked to leaveD. ask for foodCFor many years, T-shirts were simple short-sleeved (短袖的) undershirts for men and boys. T-shirts used to be of one color-white. And because they were worn under shirts, they were generally not seen.Today, T-shirts have become fashionable. They can be seen everywhere and on everyone. Women and little children wear T-shirts as teenagers, university students, and men do. T-shirts are worn on the playground or at the beach in town. They can also be worn for work. Yet T-shirts are still cheap and last long, as well as easy to care for. Smart, comfortable and convenient to wear, they have become one of Americans’ newest ideas in fashion.Although T-shirts are now of different materials and styles, the most popular kind is the traditional cotton T-shirt with a slogan (标语) or a picture on the front. A T-shirt may have a single word, a popular phrase, a picture of popular singers, or an advertisement. As T-shirts are becoming more and more popular, new designs are coming up all the time.( ) 46. Which of the following is TRUE about T-shirts in the past?A. There were different kinds of T-shirts in the past.B. T-shirts were worn by most people.C. There were many T-shirts in different colors.D. T-shirts were usually worn inside.( ) 47. Compared with the past, T-shirts have changed a lot. Which of the following is NOT true about their changes?A. They are more and more expensive.B. They are worn by more and more people.C. They can be worn in more and more places.D. There are more and more new designs.( ) 48. What is the most popular kind of T-shirt?A. The white silk T-shirt.B. The cotton T-shirt with a slogan or a picture.C. The wool T-shirt worn on the playground.D. The wool T-shirt worn at the beach.( ) 49. What can make T-shirts more attractive (有吸引力的)?A. Advertisements.B. New technology.C. New designs.D. More man-made materials.( ) 50. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. T-shirts are cheap but uncomfortable.B. T-shirts are popular but difficult to care for.C. T-shirts are convenient and formal.D. T-shirts are smart and comfortable to wear.五、词汇运用(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)A 根据短文内容和所给中文提示，写出短文空白处各单词的正确形式。

As time goes by, itbe013es less and less, so what are we going to dowhen it runs out? Perhaps we will go back to using horses, carriages and bicycles.In the Second Worl d War, some people didn’t use gas made from petroleum(石油)in their cars. They made gas from wood and plants instead. The car didn’t go fast, but they ran, so this was better than nothing. However, in the fut ure, we can’t cut down all our trees to make gas. We need our trees for other things, too.Besides different types of gas, we can also use electricity to run our cars, but first we must make the electricity! Some countries have coal and they make electricity with that, but we might not always have coal, either. Other countries have big, strong rivers, and they can use the power of water to turn turbines(涡轮机)and make electricity more easily and cheaply.We are also able to get power from the ocean tides. We put turbines into the mouth of the river. Then the tide 013es in, the water turns the turbines and then it goes out, it turns them again.Which of these ways will be used to run our cars in the future?1. When might people have to go back to using horses and carriages?A. When they are poor.B. When they run out of oil.C. When they need more exercise.D. When there aren’t any big trees in the world.2. What did some people use to make gas in the Second World War?A. Water.B. Coal.C. Wood and plants.D. Tides.3. How many ways are suggested to make electricity in the passage?A. 2.B. 5.C. 4.D. 3.4. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. There is more petroleum than we can use now.B. Trees are needed for some other things besides making gas.C. We got electricity from ocean tides in the old days.D. Gas wasn’t used to run cars in the Second World War.5. The passage is mainly about.A. how to run our carsB. what to do when oil runs outC. different types of gasD. the ways to make electricity第Ⅱ卷(共40分)Ⅴ. 词汇运用(20分)(Ⅰ)根据句意及首字母或汉语提示完成单词。

They can watch television, 11 what they like on the Internet, or play video games. But what do you think children did for 12 long ago? They read books.Some of you might ask, "Are books really fun? " Believe it or not, books can 13 many things that television or computers cannot. Most books use 14 to tell a story, and they can improve your imagination(想象力). You can 15 the characters(人物)and background in your mind and you can also imagine 16 the characters feel.The words and sentences that are used in storytelling are also very interesting and usually cannot be 17 on television. They are sometimes so beautiful and 18 that they can bring tears to your eyes.Books also help us to think harder and 19 . As we continue to read, we ask ourselves questions and try to find answers.These are some of the 20 why books are so fun to read and why people always look forward to good books.

More and more people, especially the young, prefer to read e-books online. They think e-books are much cheaper than paper books, and sometimes they are even free. What's more, it is more convenient to read e-books. People can read them whenever or wherever they want. However, some people enjoy reading paper books while relaxing in the sunshine. Here are some people's likes and dislikes about them.Julia, a writer I've been using an e-reader for nearly four years. It brings me lotsof convenience. I can save much space with it. I don't need to lookfor information from piles of books as I used to. Clicking the mouse or screen to read makes it easier. It also helps to save time. I can go on with my writing even on the subway while reading.Sam, amanager Nothing is better than the feel and smell of a real book. If Ihad a chance to make a choice, I'd choose a real book — somethingI can give as a gift. However, since I often go to different placeson business, having real books is difficult. That's why I've bought an e-reader.Emma, a nurseWith an e-reader, I am able to read books anywhere and anytime.My cell phone can hold more than 120 books. But there is one problem— I don't value them because it's so easy to download(下载) them.So I think if you really like a book, you'd better buy a paper version of it and spend your time enjoying it.Larry, astudent I like reading e-books far more than paper books. On the one hand,I can go online to buy an e-book and read it immediately in my spare time. On the other hand, there's no need to cut trees down to produce an e-book. ( )21.Julia used to look for information by .A. reading many paper booksB. clicking the screen of her computerC. reading on the subwayD. asking others for help( )22.The prevents Sam from reading real books.A. work situationB. smell of real booksC. business partner's giftD. health condition( )23.Emma's problem with the e-reader is that .A. she can't read many booksB. she doesn't value the e-booksC. it's difficult to download a bookD. she has no time to read e-books( )24.In opinion, reading e-books can help protect the environment.A. Sam'sB. Emma'sC. Julia'sD. Larry's( )25.We can know that from the passage.A. e-books are always freeB. people can read e-books at any timeC. e-books bring people sunshineD. e-books are popular with all the peopleBWhen we are children, the holidays seem to last forever. But later, we may find that time just seems to fly by. Why does time seem to pass faster as we get older?According to the Daily Mail, our brains degrade as we get older. That decreases the amount of information we can deal with in a single day. "The human mind senses time changing when the perceived(感知到的) images change," Adrian Bejan from Duke University, the US, told the Daily Mail. "The present is different from the past because the mental viewing has changed, not because somebody's clock rings."Infants(幼儿), for example, move their eyes much more often than adults because they're processing(处理) images at a faster rate. They deal with a large amount of information and do many things in a single day.This makes them feellike a single day lasts for a long time. However, as people get older, fewer images are processed in the same amount of time. Therefore, older people receive less information during a day than younger people. This causes things to seem as though they were happening more quickly.Apart from the degradation of our brains, some psychological reasons also make us experience time differently.People may measure time by the number of memorable events that can be recalled(回忆) within a certain period. When we think about our youth, we may remember a life packed with first-time activities, for example, our first-time traveling without our parents, or our first date. We experienced these events so vividly that time then seemed to have passed very slowly. According to David Eagleman of the Baylor College of Medicine in the US, recalling these memories makes us feel like they took forever.Many adults find life is routine and sometimes dull. For this reason, when they look back, they might feel like there are not many exciting things to remember. Therefore, time seems to be moving faster to them.( )26.What does the underlined word "degrade" mean?A. Become better.B. Become worse.C. Remain the same.D. Become smaller.( )27.How do people sense time changing according to Adrian Bejan?A. It depends on how their clocks change.B. It depends on how the views around them change.C. It depends on how often they move their eyes.D. It depends on how the images they perceived change.( )28.What is the purpose of the fifth paragraph?A. To tell us that first-time activities are vivid and memorable.B. To tell us that first-time events can make time pass slowly.C. To tell us that psychological reasons make people sense time differently.D. To tell us that people should measure time by the number of memorable events. ( )29.Why does time seem to pass faster as we get older?A. Because our life will become routine and dull when we grow older.B. Because the degradation of our brains will make it slower to recall memories.C. Because we'll deal with less information in the same amount of time.D. Because we won't have first-time activities when we grow older.( )30.In which part of a magazine can you probably read the text?A. News.B. Sports.C. Health.D. Science.CIt's the end of class. When the bell rings, lots of students quickly take out their cell phones to log on to(登录) their WeChat.Recent surveys show that most students in middle schools have WeChat and some even update the Moments(更新朋友圈) over five times per day."We can learn many new and interesting things on WeChat and then they become popular topics in class," said Andy Liang, 14. "If you do not know about them, you are out of the loop."It is also a great way for students to reduce stress. "When I share these feelings on WeChat, I get many replies from friends in the same situation, which makes me feel better," said Simon Zhang.But parents are worried that WeChat may be a waste of time. "Some messages may even cause danger to kids," they said.Mr. Shen, a professor of education, suggests parents shouldn't worry too much as long as kids are not crazy about WeChat. Maybe it can become a window for parents to understand their children. "If parents can read their children's Moments, they'll know their thoughts, thus having better communication and solutions to some problems,"he said. He also gives some tips to kids.—Never use WeChat in class.—Don't stay on WeChat for more than one hour a day.—Try to talk face to face with people from time to time.—Don't trust all the messages on WeChat.( )31.The underlined part "out of the loop" probably means " ".A. not popularB. not excitedC. unhealthyD. unlucky( )32.WeChat made Simon when he shared his feelings with some friends.A. feel sadB. feel relaxedC. have stressD. become more friendly( )33.According to Mr. Shen, WeChat can .A. make kids get into troubleB. help parents understand their kids betterC. bring trouble to both kids and parentsD. lead to worse communication between parents and kids( )34.How long does Mr. Shen think children should spend on WeChat?A. About two hours a day.B. Five hours a day.C. Less than one hour a day.D. More than one hour a day.( )35.What is the writer's purpose in writing the passage?A. To introduce WeChat to parents.B. To tell parents not to worry about their kids.C. To improve the relationship between parents and kids.D. To show that WeChat can be helpful if it's used properly.阅读下列短文,并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。
