Imagine how boring life would be, if not for creative and useful inventions．Rolling Bench．Sitting on a park bench especially after a rain is a nightmare, and I bet mos t of you have had that uncomfortable experience of rising to a wet bottom．These benches c an accurately save you on a rainy day．They have a handle that can turn the seat surface to f ace a relatively clean side．Be careful with the people who might turn the handle and land y ou into water．Stairway Drawers．Stairways are generally considered a threat as it occupies a lot of space , but what about one that will serve its purpose and can also be used to store things．It's a pr etty interesting concept: the stairway has built-in one push drawer into every step that can store your shoes．Stairway Library．These stairways are specially made to house your collection of books an d magazines or even your favourite music CDs．This fashionable stairway is an obvious mus t-have for those of you owning your own library．You can even use it to show off your collecti on of vases and antiques．Pocket Chair．Say goodbye to pains especially when working in a garden for a long time．You can now carry your foldable, pocket chair with you, wherever you go．Take it along with you if you have to go for a long trip too, you can simply open it up and sit at ease．（1）What should you do first before sitting on a rolling bench after a rain？________A Remove the surface of the seat．B Turn the surface upside down．C Fix a clean s urface on the seat．D Turn the handle repeatedly．（2）Stairway drawers are the names of containers________．A for you to house vases and antiques．B for children to show off their CDs．C use d to put aside your shoes．D used to collect books and magazines．（3）If Mary wants to go for a camp on Sunday，she is advised to take along the________．A rolling bench B． C pocket chair D．2. There is a 9-year-old kid sitting at his desk and all of a sudden, there is a puddle （一滩水） between his feet and the front of his pants are wet．He thinks his heart is going to stop because he cannot possibly imagine how this has happened．It's never happened before, an d he knows that when the boys find out they will never let him forget it．When the girls find out, they'll never speak to him again as long as he lives．The boy believes his heart is going to stop．He puts his head down and prays: "This is an e mergency!I need help now!Five minutes from now I'm dead meat．"He looks up from his prayer, and here comes the teacher with a look in her eyes that says h e has been discovered．As the teacher is walking toward him, a classmate named Susie is carrying a goldfish bowl t hat is filled with water．Susie trips in front of the teacher and spills the bowl of water in theboy's lap．The boy pretends to be angry, but all the while is saying to himself．"Thank God!"Now all of a sudden, instead of being made fun of, the boy gets sympathy．The teacher rus hes him downstairs and gives him gym shorts to put on while his pants dry out．All the othe r children are on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk．The sympathy is wond erful．But the ridicule that should have been his is given to someone else-Susie．She tries to help, but they tell her to get out．"You've done enough!"Finally, at the end of the day, as they are waiting for the bus, the boy walks over to Susie an d whispers: "You did that on purpose, didn't you? "Susie whispers back: "I wet my pants once too．"（1）What is the boy's reaction to this incident at first？________A He is calm but worried．B He thinks he is going to die．C He is afraid and embar rassed．D He prays and asks for help from his teacher．（2）The underlined word"sympathy"probably means________．A care B． C belief D．（3）After Susie spills the bowl of water in the boy's lap，________．A other students ask Susie for help and yell at her．B the teacher sends the boy downst airs to clean up around his desk．C the little boy becomes really angry and runs away to change his clothes．D the little boy is saved from embarrassment and gains others'sym pathy．（4）From the story，we can conclude that________．A all the children feel wonderful about being able to help．B the teacher does not know what actually happened to the little boy．C Susie spends a long time coming up with a plan to help the little boy．D Susie is kindhearted and still tries to help even though she is ridiculed．3. He is probably the greatest artist of the 20th century．As CBS said, Pablo Picasso （188 1-1973）"defined modern art"．In the past, artists had made paintings look like windows-they painted to make it look like there was depth．You could tell which objects were"close"t o you and which objects were"far away", as if the picture were a window you were looking th rough．But Picasso and his colleague Georges Braque （1882-1963）thought that a painting wasn't a window on the world; it was marks and lines on a flat surfac e．Why should an object be shown only from one perspective?Their answer was to break up objects into pieces and show all the perspectives．It was an analytical approach to art, which gave this style of painting its name: "analytic cu bism（解析立体主义）"．You can take a closer look at these paintings in Shanghai where nearly 100pieces of Picass o's work are on display until Jan 31, 2016．But why did they feel such a need to change things? Well, the world around them was changing．Albert Einstein's theory of relativity was proving what humans knew about time and s pace to be wrong．And it wasn't only science that was making waves．New political movem ents like socialism were on the rise．So artists needed to start seeing the world and painting it differently．A famous and terrifying painting, Guernica （1937）is a picture of the horror caused to the town of Guernica by bombs during the Spanish Civil War （1936-1939）．In the picture, the sky actually falls in．Picasso could not have painted it without th e skills he had learned during his cubist period．They had prepared him for showing the to wn being destroyed．"Instead of showing objects from one viewpoint, Picasso showed them from many different angles, "said The Huffington Post．（1）What is the article mainly about？________A Why Picasso's paintings have a lasting appeal．B What inspired Picasso to become a great artist．C Picasso's great，revolutionary achievements in art． D The background of the birth of Picasso's analytic c ubism．（2）What do we know about the painting revolution started by Picasso and Georges Braque？________A They painted like there was depth in their paintings．B They painted objects that the y had broken into pieces．C They tried to make their paintings look like windows．D They showed the different angles of an object in their paintings．（3）Picasso and Georges Braque started analytic cubism because________．A they believed art needed to change to follow the changing world．B they wanted to a pply Einstein's theory of relativity to painting．C Picasso wanted to make waves just lik e Einstein did．D new political movements had forced art to change．（4）The painting Guernica is mentioned in the 7th paragraph to show________．A the main themes of Picasso's paintings．B the philosophy behind Picasso's paintings ．C what Picasso had learned during the cubist period．D that Picasso's analytical approach made it a masterpiece．4. Heads turned, tears dropped, and gossip-filled whispers went on and on from the hospital passages to the house windows．There wa s a problem: a daughter had been born．She wasn't the first disappointment born to her fam ily．Although my aunt didn't care about giving birth to a girl, her mother-in-law constantly reminded her of the criticism she would have to face if she gave birth to a dau ghter．In India, most people held these views．When I visited my relatives during the summer, one sentence managed to fill me with ange r and start arguments with my so-called relatives．"You are a girl, stay within your limits．"They simply don't know how different it is living in the US．Anyway, comparisons to my cousins led me to end the arguments fo r the moment and accept the way they lived their lives．My words didn't make sense to them so my mind was set on proving them wrong．Although their words didn't tear me apart, their actions managed to．The amount of sexism（性别歧视） in this culture, especially my hometown, made me feel bad．It was the 21st century, yet women had to eat after the men at family gatherings．They had to cook all the family meals and were asked to take jobs that required little skill or education．It was time to change thes e views．As I was growing older, the same relatives repeatedly questioned me about my future: "What do you want to be? "And the answer was always the same: electrical engineer．I have a pa ssion for electronics; as clichéd（陈词滥调的） as it sounds, I was born to do it．When I connect wires together to repair something, I c an't contain my excitement．But when I tried to explain this to my relatives, all of them, except for my parents and grandparents, would be shocked and laugh at me-laugh because they didn't think I could live up to my goals, being a"girl and all"．It was time t o change these views．In my world, being a girl is not a problem．Rather, it is an opportunity to allow passion, no t stereotypes（成见）, to shape my future．I decided to channel my relatives'views into positive energy．Rat her than letting them bring me down, I let them be motivation to achieve my goal of becoming an engineer．I, a female, will become a successful engineer．（1）The first paragraph was mainly written to________．A describe how bad the author's aunt felt for having a baby girl．B show that most Indi an people are strongly prejudiced against women．C describe the pressure the author's aunt had to face when she was going to have a baby．D show that the author's aunt's ge neration is fighting against prejudice against women．（2）From the second and third paragraphs，it can be concluded that________．A the author's friends and relatives were jealous about her life in the US．B the author realized that just using words couldn't change the relatives'sexism．C the author got us ed to being reminded to stay within her limits after she was born．D the author often ar gued with her relatives because she believed US lifestyles were right．（3）In the article，in what way does the author show how serious the amount of sexism was in her hometown？________A By describing feeling defeated after arguments．B By stressing the conflicts she had with her relatives．C By describing people's words，behavior and common practices． D By giving examples of how her goals were laughed a t repeatedly．（4）According to the text，the author decided to change her relatives'views by________．A achieving her dream of becoming an engineer．B using her relatives'comments as m otivation．C letting stereotypes influence her future decisions．D achieving her a mbition of changing her hometown．二、（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）5. 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

You don’t show your secret personality when you are awake because you can control your behavior, but when you are asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their positions. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to displease people. So you never expres s your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t quite sure of yourself.If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You always stick to your own opinions or judgment, but you don’t raise your hope too much. You usually live for today not tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.If you sleep curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive. You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to on your own. You’re easily hurt.If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well—balanced personality. You know your strengths and weakness. You’re usually careful. You believe in yourself. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get sad.

It’s not hard to guess. The top half of this fish looks like a small horse. But looking at the sea horse’s tail, you might think “sea monkey” is a better name. Then there’s the sea horse’s pouch. “Sea kangaroo” might also be a good name for this fish.Sea horses live in warm ocean waters all over the world. They keep safe from other fish by hiding in plants and grasses that grow under the sea. They can also change color to match their surroundings. A sea horse remains in one place for hours at a time by winding its tail around a plant. It feeds on live food, such as small shrimps. For a fish that doesn’t move around much, the sea horse eats a lot—in just one day, a sea horse can eat 3,000 shrimps!A sea horse keeps the same mate for its whole life, and it’s the male sea horse that gives birth to baby sea horses. How does this happen? Baby sea horses start out as eggs, which come from the female’s body. The male carries t he eggs in its pouch for about three weeks until they hatch. Soon after the babies are born, the female gives her mate a new set of eggs.Sadly, the number of sea horses is becoming smaller. Why is this happening? Some places where sea horses once lived have been filled in to make new land. Also, many sea horses are caught and sold as aquarium fish (观赏鱼). This really is not a good idea because most sea horses don’t live long in aquariums. The best place for a sea horse is the ocean.13. The sea horse got its name because of its ________.A. headB. tailC. skinD. pouch14. What does a female sea horse do wit h her eggs?A. She puts them in the male’s pouch.B. She hides them in sea grasses.C. She carries them around.D. She hatches them.15. Why is the number of sea horses becoming smaller?A. They grow at a very low speed.B. Their homes are being destroyed.C. They are killed by people for food.D. Their food is becoming less and less.Ⅱ补全对话（根据对话内容, 从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳答案，共5空；每空2分，共10分）—Mary, we are going to have a party on New Year’s Eve.

My earliest memories of my father were of a tall，handsome，successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends，I used to struggle to think up things to say，feeling on guard. On the first day of my visit，we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We walked along that afternoon，did some shopping，ate on the street table，and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father，who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around？
What had held him back before? The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years，I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years，I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in doing so，I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad，in his new home in Arizona，is back to me from where he was. 21．Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult? A．He was silent most of the time. B．He expected too much of her. C．He did not love his children. D．He was too proud of himself. 22．When the author went out with her father on weekends，she would feel________. A．tired B．sorry C．nervous D．safe 23．What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson? A．Gentle and friendly. B．More talkative. C．More critical. D．Strict and hard-working. 24．The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to________. A．the author’s son B．the café owner C．the friend of the author’s father D．the author’s father
