But as anyone ever caught in a heavy rain will tell you, they'refar from perfect. So, many creative designers made efforts to challenge . Here are four clever designs that can solve the rainy day problems.SenzCommon umbrellas love to invert when it's windy. The Senz umbrella changes the round shape into the one that's long in the back and short in the front. The design is much stronger against even strong winds, and according to their tests, the Senz works well.NubrellaAn American named Alan Kaufman and his company spend 6 years inventing this hand­free umbrella. The hand­free umbrella is called Nubrella. The umbrella can rest on the user's shoulders. So the user needn't hold the umbrella any more. And it's convenient to make a phone call or ride a bike without an umbrella in the hand. KazbrellaThere is no doubt that this kind of umbrella is the shining star in the umbrella market this year. Common umbrellas drip (滴水) everywhere when they are closed. Kazbrella tries to solve this problem in a special way. Though it looks like the common umbrella , the design allows the wet side of the umbrella to be inside onceyou fold it. As a result, getting in and out of your car is not a problem.Rain ShieldIn the face of a heavy rainstorm, rain can hit you from all directions. Rain Shield gives the protection from the sideway rain and its bendy (弯曲) design means it won't invert (反转). It can handle the strong wind. When not in use, it folds into a small piece.56. According to the first paragraph , we know that the common umbrellas ____.A. are useful but not perfect enoughB. can only be used in a heavy rainC. can protect us very well in a heavy rainD. are challenges for creative designers57. The umbrella in the following pictures is called ____.A. SenzB. NubrellaC. KazbrellaD. Rain Shield58. If you use Rain Shield in a heavy rainstorm , ____.A. it's not convenient enough to takeB. it can protect you from sideway rainC. it will prevent neither rain nor windD. it's easier to get in and out of the car59. Which sentence is WRONG according to the passage?A. Senz is easy to hold with its special shape even in windy weather.B. Nubrella is a great idea for those who want to play sports on rainy days.C. Kazbrella opens from the inside out and keeps dry when you carry around.D. Rain Shield sells best with the special shape and it folds into a small piece.60. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of Nubrella?A. It can rest on the user's shoulders.B. You needn't hold the umbrella.C. It doesn't drip everywhere when it is closed.D. It's convenient for you to make a phone call.BNo­touch thermometers (温度计)Want to take your body temperature? Usually you need to put a thermometer in your armpit(腋窝). And you need to stay still for minutes. Now scientists have invented the no­touch thermometer.Put the thermometer 2.5cm from your forehead, press the button and it can get the reading (读数) in two seconds.Useful alarm clocksIt's hard to believe that an alarm clock can not only be beautiful, but also improve your sleep. Sense is an alarm clock from Hello Company in the USA. It can check the temperature, humidity(湿度) and light in your bedroom to help you create a good environment. It can also monitor your sleep time and wake you up when you sleep too long.Shoes that tie themselvesThe new shoes have small motors that control their laces (鞋带). When you step into them, your feet will touch a sensor in the shoes, and the motors will tighten the laces. There are also two buttons on the side of the shoes. You can tighten and loosen them,so you can control the laces by pressing the buttons.61. When people use the no­touch ther mometer, they should____.A. put it in a patient's armpitB. put it in a patient's handC. put it on a patient's foreheadD. put it 2.5 cm from a patient's forehead62. What does the underlined word “still” mean in Chinese?A. 仍然B. 不动的C. 温柔的D. 嘈杂的63.

What controls the laces in the new shoes?A. The motors.B. The sensor.C. The wearer.D. The laces themselves.65. Where is the te?A. A textbook.B. A novel.C. A newspaper.D. A notice.CA young man was on a train. As the train turned a corner, it slowed down and then a plain house came into sight. The house looked so different from the grey apartment buildings of the city that everybody on the train turned to look at it. Some passengers began to talk about it.The young man was also interested in the house. He decided to get off at the neake his way to the house. The owner of the house told him that he was trying to sell the house, but no one would buy it, as the noise of the trains passing nearby made it unsuitable to live in.The young man decided to buy the house right then and paid $30, 000.He used it for advertising (做广告), as the house faced the railway bend (弯道). The train had to slow down at the bend, giving the passengers plenty of time to look at the house.The young man went to several big companies and explained the advantages of placing advertisements on the side of the house. Finally, one company agreed to place some ads. The young man was paid $180, 000 for three years of advertising.In this world, turning disadvantages into advantages is the key to success.66.

It is wise to turn disadvantages into advantages.DA peaceful mind is very important for our effectiveness(效率). It keeps us calm no matter what the situation is, and it allows us to stay happy during the day.◆____▲____Your heart tells you what is the right thing to do. Following what your heart says helps you be true to yourself, and that helps you get a peaceful mind. So learn to listen more to your heart, and do what it tells you to do.◆Don't take in too much informationGetting more information often means introducing more noise into your mind. So we shouldn't take in too much information. It's important for a calm and peaceful mind. You should take in no more information than necessary.◆Slow downWhatever you do, you do not need to be in a hurry. Doing so will only take you faster in the wrong direction. First of all, you needto know the right direction to go. Slow down so that you can clearly hear the voice of your heart.◆Do something for other peopleWe usually think about our own needs and problems most of the time. But self­centered(自我为中心的) thoughts can't bring peace into our mind. Instead, it may make us feel stressed. So don't think too much about yourself, and forget yourself for a while. Think about other people more often and think what you can do for others, and then do it. Giving will make you happy and give you a peaceful mind.70. Which of the following can be put in__▲__?A.

Merlin’s work was making musical instruments.One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a music party. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance(隆重登场) at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates in the world. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was surprised to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on; suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall. Down fell the mirror, breaking into pieces. Nobody forgot Merlin’s entrance!36. The idea of roller skating didn’t exist ________.A. until 1750B. after 1750C. since 1750D. from 175037.

How to use the roller skatesB. Merlin and the first roller skatesC. How to make musical instrumentsD. Merlin and the first violinBEvery morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo and since the 19th century from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there weren’t many books, few people learned to read.Then printing was invented in China. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that,knowledge and ideas spread quickly. .Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players.Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. So will books be replaced by computers one day? No, I don’t think the Yao Ming poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer two metres high!41. What does the writer do before he goes to sleep?A. He reads books.B. He reads newspapers.C. He looks through magazines.D. He looks at the posters on the wall.42. When was paper first created?A. About 2,000 years ago.B. In the 19th century.C. About 1,000 years ago.D. In the 11th century.43. Why were books expensive and rare before the invention of printing?A. People could not read.B. People could not write words on paper.C. People could not find silk, cotton or bamboo.D. People could only produce books or at a time by hand.44. What happened after books became cheaper?A. People wanted to use the internet.B. Printing was invented in China.C. Knowledge and ideas spread quickly.D. The Internet was introduced to people soon.45. What is the writer’s opinion about books and computers?A. People won’t need books any more.B. Books won’t be replaced by computers.C. People prefer to find information in books.D. Computers have already replaced books.CSometimes the greatest things are invented by mistake. The greatest mistake of all time could be those delicious snacks in your nearer drugstore.One day, a woman was making chocolate cookies. When she ran out of chocolate powder(粉), she took out achocolate bar and broke it into little pieces. She added the pieces to her cookie dough(面团) and baked(烘烤) it. She thought that the chocolate would (1) melt in the oven and make chocolate cookies. Far from melting, the pieces of chocolate stayed hard. When she took them out of the oven, she had chocolate chip cookies!Another accidental invention was made by Frank Epperson, an eleven-year-old boy. In 1905, Frank sat outside on a winter evening, mixing up a big jug(罐) of powdered soda pop. Frank accidentally left the jug out during the night. When he went outside the next morning, he found the mixture in the jug frozen(冻僵) with the mixing stick stuck in the middle. Frank pulled out the frozen pop and tasted it. It was delicious! Frank started selling Epperson Icicles for 5 cents each. He later changed the name to (2) Popsicles.So, the next time you drop your hamburger into your ice-cream or your cooked potatoes into your chicken soup, don’t worry! Some of the most delicious foods in the world were invented that way!任务一：46.请根据短文，猜测画线单词(1)melt的意思。

AThe well-known "new great inventions" of modern China have made our daily lives more convenient.High-speed trainsChina created its first high-speed railway line in 2008.Since then，the number of passenger trips has grown by over 30 percent every year. By 2016，more than 5 billion trips had been taken on the trains. By 2020，one-fifth of the country's 150，000-km railway network will be used by the trains. This network will link more than 80 percent of major cities across China.Mobile paymentMobile payment is turning China into a “cashless society”. Instead of paying by cash（现金），customers now pay for their goods and some kinds of bills simply by typing a short password into the Alipay or WeChat Pay on their mobile phones.Shared bikesChina has surprised the world with how quickly shared bikes are widely used. Nowadays，bike users can simply pick up or park the bike on the street through GPS and smart phone apps.Online shoppingWith around 751 million Internet users，China has been the world's largest and fastest-growing online shopping market. Because of lower costs and fewer licensing requirements（执照要求），it's easier for sellers to open an online shop in China. In 2016，more than 20 million jobs of rural areas were created，with over 8.1 million running their own online shops.1．What's the passage mainly about？A．The fast-developing technology. B．Modern China.C．China's new great inventions. D．Convenient daily lives in China.2．By 2020，more than _________ of major cities across China will be linked by the high-speed trains network. A．30% B．one-fifth C．80% D．20%3．_________ can make online shopping develop so fast in China.A．Lower costs B．Fewer licensing requirementsC．More job chances D．A，B&CBNobody knows who invented the pencil or when it was invented. A Swiss described a pencil in a book in 1565. He said it was a piece of wood with lead（铅）inside it. In 1795，someone started making pencils from graphite（石墨）and they became very popular. Today，people make pencils in the same way. They put it inside a piece of wood. One pencil can make a line as long as 55 kilometers.When people wrote with pens，they had to put the pen point into the ink after writing every few letters. Later someone invented a fountain pen（自来水笔）and this kind of pen could hold ink inside it. A fountain pen can write several pages before you have to fill it again.Two brothers，Ladislao and Georg Biro，invented the ballpoint pen that we all use today. They left their country Hungary and started producing ballpoint pens in England in 1943 during the World War Ⅱ. Later，a French company called Bic bought the Biro brothers' company. Someone calls ballpoint pens bics. Australians call them biros. Whatever they are called，we use them every day.1．When was the pencil invented according to the passage？A．In 1565. B．In 1795. C．In1943. D．Before1565.2．What does the underlined word “pen point” mean in Chinese？A．笔杆B．笔帽C．笔尖D．笔筒3．Where were Ladislao and Georg Biro from？A．America. B．Australia. C．Hungary. D．England.4．What is the passage mainly about？A．Some famous inventors.B．The invention of pencils and some kinds of pens.C．Who invented the pencil.D．Which kind of pen is the most useful.CHave you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars, and the technology is there.So how? The cars have sensors(感应器)all around which can find other cars and objects in the road.Road signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigation systems(卫星导航系统)are used so the car knows how to get where you want to go. All you have to do is type in the address! Finally, a central computer system takes in all the information that it receives from the sensors and cameras and works out when to speed up, stop and turn.Sound like your idea of heaven(天堂)? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while “driving” would be possible with this new technology. You wouldn’t have to worry aboutremembering directions to where you’re going. In addition, computers would also drive more safely than people—they would obey the rules and have quicker action times when in dangerous situations.However, there are many drawbacks of driverless cars. Computers would have difficulties making ethical(道德的)decisions: if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and potentially kill the car’s passengers? Moreo ver, I personally find driving fun—I’d miss never driving a car myself. There would also be many other decisions to be made—should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a person with a driving license in the car at all times?I’m not certain I’d want a driverless car—but it’s only a matter of time before they’ll become more affordable and popular on our roads.1.When using a driverless car, you need only .A.read the road signs carefullyB.check the camerasC.put the address into the computerD.remember the directions2.The third paragraph mainly tells us about the of driverless cars.A.instructionsB.standardsC.advantagesD.tests3.The u nderlined word “potentially” in Paragraph 4 means “”.A.possiblyB.successfullyC.especiallyD.naturally4.What’s the writer’s opinion about future driverless cars?A.They’ll cause more accidents.B.They’ll be less expensive.C.They’ll use less energy.D.They’ll run much faster.DClass Afloat is a Canadian school on a tall ship! The ship is 210 feet long and 30 feet wide, and it can take up to sixty students. The classrooms are well-equipped and comfortable, and there’s even a library! It isn’t necessary to know anything about sailing—students can learn on the ship.Not all the students are Canadian. There’s usually a mix of nationalities. This year, there are also students fromMexico, the US, Germany, and Turkey. There’s a mix of ages too. Th ere are high school students sixteen to eighteen years old, and first-year college students.The teachers design special study programs for each student. Because the school is a ship, you can do some exciting classes, for example, Marine Biology(studying the animals and plants in the sea) and History of Geography courses about the places you visit. Students also learn all about sailing!Students don’t just study. They must also clean, cook, and sail the ship. In their free time, students can rest, read, or watch a movie. In the evenings, they relax with friends and have club meetings.Every sixteen to twenty days, the ship stops in a port for three to six days. In port there’s lots for the students to do—homestays, camping trips, museum tours, cultural events, hiking, etc. They also go boating and do other water sports. Parents can meet up with the students in one port every term.Students also take part in two volunteer programs in Senegal and the Dominican Republic. They help local families in different ways, for example, with basic health matters or starting a business. Students learn how, with just a little money and time, they can make changes that improve other people’s lives.1.In Paragraph 2 we can get the information about .A.the shipB.the studentsC.the classesD.the activities2.Which of the following statements is true?A.Students must know how to sail before they join the ship.B.All the students take the same classes together.C.Students go home to see their parents on holidays.D.Besides studying, students also have to do jobs on the ship.3.Why are students required to take part in the volunteer projects?A.They can learn how to help others.B.They can learn how to make money.C.They can learn how to start a business.D.They can learn how to do medical practice.4.The passage is mainly about .A.learning to sail a tall shipB.sailing around the worldC.a school on a sailing shipD.after-school activities第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)下面文章中有五处(第1－5题)需要添加小标题。

Small shops usually close for an hour at lunchtime. One or two days a week--- usually Thursday and / or Friday--- some large food shops stay open until about 8:00 p.m. for late night shopping.Many shops are closed in the afternoon one day a week. The day is usually Wednesday or Thursday and it is a different day in different towns. Nearly all shops are closed on Sundays. Newspaper shops are open in the morning, and sell sweets and cigarettes as well. But not all the things can be sold on Sundays.Usually it is not difficult for foreign visitors to find where to buy things. Most shops sell the things that you want to buy. One problem is stamps. In Britain you can only buy these at post offices. Many large food shops are self-service. When you go into one of these shops, you take a basket and you put the things you wish to buy into this. You pay for everything just before you leave. If anyone tries to take things from a shop without paying they are almost certain to be caught, because most shops have detectives.When you are waiting to be served in a shop, it is important not to try to be served before people who arrive before you. Many foreign people are surprised at the British way of queuing.44. According to the passage, which of the following sentences is NOT true?A. Some large food shops open for about 11 hours on Thursday or Friday.B. Many shops are closed in the afternoon once a week on Tuesday.C. Only a few things can be bought on Sundays.D. It is not difficult for foreign visitors to buy things in Britain.45. You can not buy ___________ in shops.A. cigarettesB. sweetsC. stampsD. clothes46. Which of the following is the best title?A. Shops in Britain.B. How to Buy Things in Britain.C. Something about BritainD. How Long Are the Britain Shops Open?( B )What is the sky? Where is it? How high is it? What lies above the sky?I am sure you have often asked these questions. They are very difficult to answer, aren’t they?If someone asks you: “What color is the sky?” I think maybe you will answer “Blue”. I am afraid you are wrong. The sky has no colors. When we see blue, it is the sunlight that is shining on little bits of dust in the air.Is the sky full of air? I am sure you have asked this question, too. We know that there is air all around the earth. Planes can’t fly without air. They need air to lift their wings. Planes can’t fly very high because as they go higher, the air gets thinner. If we go too high up in the sky, we find there is no air.Perhaps you can answer some of the questions now. What is the sky? Nothing. Where is it? It is all around the earth. The sky is a part of space.47. What color is the sky according to the writer?A. Blue.B. White.C. Black.D. Colorless.48. What is in the sky?A. It’s empty.B. It’s full of air.C. It has clouds.D. It has rains.49. What is the meaning of the underlined word “dust”?A. 灰尘B. 乌云C空气D雨滴( C )Mails, games, music, news, chat rooms and shopping! The Internet is part of the way we live today. It’s easy to get onto the Internet. The only thing we need to do is to use a modem（调制解调器） which is used for connecting a computer to a telephone line. The Internet is changing and growing all the time. More and more people have computers and use the Internet. Using the Internet means surfing the World Wide Web(That’s the ‘www’ you always hear about.). The Web has large numbers of websites in it. They are the places you go to get information and do things.Where do these websites come from? They are made by web designers(设计师). What happens when you click on a word or a picture? You are sent to another page. It’s all because of the web designer. Web designers do a lot of work by using a computer programming language.Is web design all about computer programming? No. It’s about making something new. Web designers must imagine a lot when they are making a website. It must look good and be fun to use. A big part of Web design is art. They choose the best pictures and colors to make the web site look good. They also write the things that you see on the website. An important part of their job is to share ideas with the website manager about how to design the website well.50.
