Mom told Riley how to make a special gift．COkay to Eat？At least 50% of U．S．adults have eaten food off the floor．That's according to a 2017HarrisPoll．Many people use the five-second rule．The rule says that fallen food is safe to eat if it has been on the floor for less than five seconds．Can people really use the five-second rule to save a dropped sandwich？Or should they throw it and make a fresh one？Donald Schaffner is a professor of food science．His study shows that the five-second rule should not always be used．In his 2016report，he says it's not wise to eat dropped wet food．The wet food takes in bacteria （细菌）as soon as it falls．"Bacteria don't have legs，they move with the moisture，" Schaffner says．The wetter the food is，the more bacteria it soaks up （吸收）．Anthony Hilton studied the five-second rule too．He is a professor of Life and Health Sciences．Hilton found that a dry food on the floor collects fewer bacteria than a wet food．Hilton also found that carpeted floors pass fewer bacteria than wood floors．Still，one should be careful．"Food that is on the floor is never completely risk-free to eat，" he says．"But if you drop a dry food in your house，it's usually okay if you pick it up very quickly．Most clean homes don't have bad bacteria．"Should you eat food that was dropped on the kitchen counter？Dr．Steven Dowshen is a doctor for children．He says that floors are not the only place that can make food unsafe to eat．"Kitchen counters can contain more harmful bacteria，" Dowshen told TFK．This is because raw foods sometimes have bad bacteria called salmonella．These raw foods can be on kitchen counters．"If people eat food off a surface Lt has salmonella，they can get very sick，" says Dowshen．With the five-second rule，the type of food and the place where it falls matter．So perhaps use this e instead：When in doubt，throw it out．28.What's Donald Schaffner's opinion about the five-second rule？______A. The five-second rule should always be used．B. The drier the food is，the more bacteria it takes in．C. It's a good choice to eat the dropped wet food．D. The minute the wet food falls，it soaks up bacteria．29.The underlined word " risk-free" probably means " ______ "A. deliciousB. dangerousC. safeD. easy30.What can you infer from the passage？______A. People should not eat a dropped sandwich on any places．B. People cannot eat food that is on the floor because of salmonella．C. People need to consider the type of the dropped food before eating．D. People should be careful about the food dropped on the kitchen counter．31.What's the writer's purpose of writing the passage？______A. To introduce the five-second rule to people．B. To encourage people to use the five-second rule．C. To show different people's opinions about the five-second rule．D. To advise people to think twice before using the five-second rule．DRik-rrork．That's the sound made by frogs singing at night．u might have thought the noises were just the musical sounds of ure．You probably didn't realize that you were listening to frogs nmunicating with one another．These familiar sounds are not randomi意的）but are actually meaningful to frogs．Being Heard but Not SeenFrogs are good at being heard but not seen．These animals have several characters that protect them n predators （捕食者）．One is their size．Most frogsare small，which helps them hide easily．Many frogs have coloring that allows them to hide in their environment，making it difficult for predators to find them．In addition，most frogs are active at night．So it is difficult for most animals to see them in the dark．Small but LoudFrogs call to tell other frogs where they are．Their voices can be very loud．But when frogs feel the footsteps of a larger animal，they become silent．Many of the world's frogs live in rain forests，where there are many different animals calling to their own species （物种）in their own ways．Frogs need to call loudly enough to be heard through the noise in order to find other frogs．Singing with PurposePeter Narins is a scientist who studies how frogs call to one another．He has learned that frogs use their calls to help them tell friend from enemy．They sing the same notes at the same volume （音量）each time they call．In addition，Narins has found that frogs of the same species always sing the same patterns （模式）．These patterns are like a code that is different from other animals' calls and difficultfor others to copy．Narins also observed that timing plays a role in frog calls．Many frogs call only at a certain time of night．More Work to DoScientists want to better understand the purpose of frog calls．Studies continue to explore the details of frogs' unique communication．Being heard but not seen is one way frogs stay safe．The idea that they have found a way to survive in a dangerous world is simply amazing．32.Frogs are good at being heard but not seen because ______A. they can not jump highB. they can hide easilyC. they are not active enoughD. they have bright colors33.Frogs need to call loudly to ______A. drive away other speciesB. tell friend from enemy quicklyC. be heard by other frogsD. feel the footsteps of a larger animal34.What can we learn from the passage？______A.

post．Writing a few words on paper to a friend is an easy way to make one smile．Even a postcard with a couple of sentences could really makesomeone's day- all for the price of a stamp！VolunteerVolunteering is one of the nicest things you can do．It requires （需要）some time and research to find the perfect project before volunteering．Whether you volunteer at your local youth group or take dogs from the shelters for a walk，the simple fact that you are giving up your time to help someone else is unbelievable．There are so many chances，so you are sure to find one that is right for you．And it doesn't necessarily have to take up all your time-it could be once a week or a couple of times a year．Make something for a special personWhether you're creative or not，taking time to make something for someone else shows how much you appreciate （感激）them．Even if you think you are not creative，the receiver will feel lucky to get such a special gift that you put your time into．Some ideas could include a card，painting，drawing，song，poem or cake!Tell someone "I love you"It can be anyone-a family member or a friend．You don't even have to say "I love you"．Perhaps you can

When I was 13, my parents decided that I should goto England to improve my English. I had never been to other countries before, so I felt a little worried. My parents prepared everything for my journey. My plane was due (预期) to leave at 9:30 a.m. and arrive in twohours. I phoned the English family who I would stay with and they told me they would wait for me at the airport (机场).Unluckily my plane to London was delayed (延误). I tried to phone the English family again but I couldn’t speak to them because they had already left home for the airport.When I arrived in London, it was already 1:30 p.m. I went to get my luggage (行李) but I couldn’t find it. I became very worried. Luckily, the airport staff (工作人员) was very helpful and efficient. I didn’t waitlong — they found it 10 minutes later.My English family were still waiting for me! I was so happy! Then my new life in London began. My English family were quite kind. I learned a lot of English because I spent most of the day talking in English. I played computer games with the little boy in my English family. I also taught him how to play chess. Sometimes I told him stories I learned from my family.I missed my family during my stay in London, but I also felt sad when my stay there came to an end. My English family held a party for me. I enjoyed it very much. I’ll never forget that summer in London! It is one of the most wonderful experiences I’ve ever had.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

When the coach started pitching, hitting became 1 for me. I missed every single pitch. From the side, I heard my teammate Emily laughing at me. My face got hot and my throat felt like it had a softball stuck in. At that moment, I was starting to 2 playing softball.The next afternoon, when Mum said it was time to play the game, I told her I was 3 . She allowed me to lie down for a while. So I went to my room and 4 myself in bed. This was difficult for me because I was fine.Soon Mum came in and said, "Time to go!" She didn't even ask if I felt 5 . I imagined Emily laughing from the sideline, and 6 I really did feel sick to my stomach. I began crying loudly. Still, Mum pulled my team T-shirt over my head. She said, "You have to play for the rest of the season, and only after that we can talk about 7 you′ll continue next year." She added that practice was what I needed, not giving up. She promised to practice with me.I got two hits that afternoon, and Emily didn't make a 8 .

But sleeping can also be dangerous because other animals may hurt those who are sleeping. This leads to many different ways of sleeping that help them stay safe. Some of these ways may surprise you!Almost all bats sleep upside down. They hang from a branch of a t ree or the ceiling of a cave. Up high, bats are safe from most other animals. If they are in danger, they just fly away.A dolphin sleeps with just half its brain at a time. It must stay awake to breathe and to watch for danger. Dolphin mothers and babies can go without sleep for as long as two months to stay safe.Some ducks sleep with just half their brains, too. These ducks often sleep in a line. The ducks at both ends help to keep the group safe. They keep one eye open to watch for danger. The ducksin the middle sleep deeply with both eyes closed.Seals breathe air, but that doesn’t stop some of them from sleeping underwater. They hold their breath and dive deep to sleep for up to twenty minutes at a time. Sleeping deep underwater helps these seals stay safe from animals that hunt them near the surface.Horses often sleep standing up. Their legs lock in place so they don’t fall over. If a horse is lying down, it needs a long time to get up. A horse can run from danger more quickly if it is already standing.A flamingo can sleep while standing on one leg. The standing leg locks so it stays straight. The other leg remains close to the flamingo’s body. Its head rests on its back. A flamingo lives (and sleeps) near many other birds to stay safe.Some seabirds can sleep while they fly. These large birds spend most of their lives over the ocean. They are in danger on the water, but they are safe in the air. They fly for many hours without flapping（拍打）their wings. Sometimes they sleep while they are flying.Would you like to sleep how they sleep?1. The animals that sleep with half their brains are _______.A. ducks and sealsB. dolphins and ducksC. bats and dolphinsD. flamingos and seabirds2. Horses often stand up when they sleep because _______.A. they can run from danger quicklyB. they are afraid of falling overC. this helps them to sleep deeplyD. it takes them a long time to go to sleep3. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. How animals sleepB. Sleep to stay healthyC. Sleep as animals doD. What sleeping animals are likeBLizzie's diary from Antarctica(南极洲)Day 3:Tuesday December 2We planned to go to Rothera that morning. We'd be staying there for the next two weeks. Because Antarctica is the windiest place on earth，sometimes you can't fly at all.We had a nervous wait over breakfast to find out if we'd be leaving that day. People have to stay in Stanley for weeks while the pilots wait for good weather.It turned clear at 9:30 and we took off at 10:30 on a little red plane called a Dash-7. But even when we were in the air，there was still a chance we wouldn't be able to fly the whole day.Day 4:Wednesday December 3After waking up in the Antarctic for the first time today I can understand why everybody who comes here falls in love with the place. It is really beautiful.We're staying at Rothera Survey base with mountains of ice all around. It's about minus 2℃today, which for me is very cold, but the regulars(常客)here are often seen walking around in T-shirts!Day 5:Thursday December 4I woke up to another beautiful sunny day here in the Antarctic. I'm told it's a bit colder today，about minus 5℃，but it's not very windy so it feels warmer. Those of us who are new to the base have to do a special training course before we're allowed to go off base to other stations or to go snowboarding over the nearby hill.Day 7:Saturday December 6Not a cloud in the sky and it's warm enough to sit outside(in a jacket).The most amazing thing about this place is how the scenery(风景)changes every day. At first I thought I was going mad. I'd step outside in the morning and think，"I'm sure that big mountain of ice wasn't there yesterday."

As they use digital technology too much, they are losing their ability to do simple things. They can't make toys themselves with hands or help Mum cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with others."I have talked with a number of teachers. They care about the increasing numbers of young pupils who can play with computers or smart phones, but have few or no skills to make things." said a teacher, Colin Kinney. "Many pupils can't communicate with other pupils but their parents talk proudly of their ability to use a computer or a smart phone."Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and quietly play on a tablet (平板电脑)on weekends and fter scriool. How can a child grow up to be a very good artist if he doesn't learn how to use a paintbrush and develop his painting skill? How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older if he doesn't learn to communicate with others at a young age?Digital technology can be used for good or bad. We can use a stone to either break a window or build a house. We shouldn′t blame the children. We should help them make right choices. It is certainly necessary for children to know how to use digital technology in today's world, but whatis more important, we should encourage them to develop social abilities which will do them good when they grow up.8. What's the worst problem that is mentioned in the first paragraph?A. Children can't make things themselves.B. Children make too many friends online.C.

But that’s not true. There are many interesting stories in the paper.You just need to make clear what you are looking at.“I spend about half an hour reading newspapers every day，” said 15-year-old Gao Ming from Beijing. “I’m interested i n things happening at school.” School news is just one kind of news story in newspapers. There’s also world news：from international problems to pop star s.Read the newspaper carefully，we’ll fin d different types of articles on the pages：News stories—These stories are about events. Reporters try to show all points of a story to help readers understand what happened. Reporters try to speak to as many people as possible. They also use pictures and numbers to sho w the readers that the stories are true. The newspaper Teenagers has lots of news stories on the news page and front page. When we read them，we learn more about the facts，not the writers’ ideas.Opinion writing-- Opinion writing is usually about something happening right now. But it isn’t just facts. Here writers add their own opinions to the n ews. Writers pick only the facts that help back up their ideas. They make readers believe that they are telling the truth. This is usually the kind of story that gets p eople thinking. Go to “Speak Out” on Page Two for an example of opinion writing in Teenagers.Advertisements—Don’t get happy too early when reading them. Those sweet words and lovely pictures are just ways to get us i nterested in their products! P eople have to pay to put advertisements in newspapers!【小题1】The underlined sentence “You just need to make clear what you are looking at.” means that the readers “”.A.should understand interesting news storiesB.should know which kind of things to readC.need to look at the school news firstD.must know the contents of all the news【小题2】Writers use facts in opinion writings because they want us their opinions.A．to understand B．to rememberC．to agree with D．to speak out【小题3】In the writer’s opinion，we’d better be advertisements in newspapers.A．interested in B．againstC．worried about D．careful with【小题4】This passage mainly discusses how .A．reporters write different kinds of newsB.people get interested in newspapersC.readers can read newspapers in better waysD.readers can deal with different kinds of news in newspapers.18.Perhaps you’ve seen the English letters “WC” in your city. They show public toilets. But do you know it is far from elegant (优雅的) English? In fact, f oreigners from English-speaking countries rarely use the letters.Workers in our city are changing “WC” signs all over the city. The government is spending much money changing all the bad Eng lish on signs and restauran t menus. Many other places in China are following our steps.“WC, or water closet, is old-fashioned English. It sounds dirty to me,” says Charlie Shifflet, a young man from the US. The old sign will become “Gents/Me n” and “Ladies/Women”.“I see lots of poor English in everyday life, and not only on signs,” he says. “I know what they mean. But they are Chinglish, not real Engl ish. For example, when someone says to me ‘My hometown is Henan Province’, I know he should say: ‘My hometown is in Henan Province’. ‘Hometown’ is a smaller place i n a province.” The common(通常的) mistakes include “Not Entry”, which should be “No Entry”, “Direction(方向) of Airport” should be changed to“To th e Airport”. And it is “room rate(房价)”, not “room price”. And remember to “Keep off the grass”, rather than “Care of the green”.【小题1】What does the writer think of the use of “WC”?A．He doesn’t think it means water closet.B.He doesn’t think it old-fashioned English.C.He doesn’t think it proper for a sign.D.He thinks it elegant English.【小题2】The underlined word “rarely” means.A.sometimes B．seldom C．often D . always【小题3】Charlie Shifflet .A．is a Chinese living in AmericaB.thinks Chinese people are sometimes using incorrect EnglishC.likes to hear or see ChinglishD．sometimes uses Chinglish【小题4】Which of the following signs does NOT use Chinglish(中国式英语)?A．B．C．D．【小题5】The last paragraph is about .A．why there are so many Chinglish signs B．examples of ChinglishC．where Chinglish signs are D．who uses Chinglish signs19.This report shows something of home computers used by a group of young people. It is a common idea that children today know about computers and h ave a good knowledge of using them in all sides of their lives.We decided to try to find out if this was true.We asked thirty young people between 14 and 18. All the children said they had computers at home. We asked them how much time they usually spend on t heir computers in a week, but we wondered what they used their computers for.The average(平均的) time spend on a computer in a week was 12 hours, with the highest user about 30 hours and the lowest only 5 hours. There were no dif ferences between boys and girls.All the children said they usually used their computers to play games. Fourteen told us they did some word-processing at home, but not very much. Only thr ee of them said that computers helped them with their studies, and nine people told us that they kept addresses and telephone numbers on their computers, or used them as diaries. Only four people said they were learning to make programs, and nobody looked up databases(数据库). None of the people used their computers for any other use. The diagram below gives all the results one by one.The results show that computer use is quite high among 14-18 year-old children. They also show quite clearly that computers are used by most people as game machines. The only other great uses are for word-processing and keeping address lists. It seems to us that, computers are common in the homes of young people, they haven’t become useful in everyday life.【小题1】How many young people were asked in the report?A．14. B．18. C．30. D．12.【小题2】In the last parag raph the underlined words “little more than” means.A．almost the same asB．less thanC．a little more thanD．different from【小题3】In the diagram, the letter “d” shows.A．only two children spent 30 hours on their computers in a weekB.three children spent about 12 hours on their computers in a weekC.the number of children who spent their time learning to make programsD.the number of children who spent the least time on their computers in a week【小题4】According to the report, .A．most of the children can use the computers to studyB.only children aged from 14 to 18 use their computers at homeC.children should not play computer gamesD.people should do more to help children know what their computers are mainly used for四、填空20.阅读表达When I was in the seventh grade , I helped take care of the sick people at a hospital in my town . Most of the time I spend there was with Mr. Green . He nev er had any visitors and nobody seemed to care about his condition.

They can find missing people and things. Now a study shows that the animal can even find bladder cancer (膀胱癌).Cancer cells can produce chemicals with unusual smells. Scientists think dogs have the ability to smell these smells, even in very small amounts, in urine (尿).For example, a dog showed great interest in the growth of its owner’s legs. The man was later found to have skin cancer. Carolyn Willis and some scientists trained different kinds of dogs for the experiment. The study used urine collected from bladder cancer patients (病人), from people with other diseases and f rom healthy people. Each dog was tested 8 times. In each test there were 7 examples for the dog to smell. The dog should show the one from a bladder cance r patient by lying down next to it.Their results later appeared on the British Medical Journal. In all, 36 bladder cancer patients and 108 other people attended. During the training, all the dogs even found cancer in a person who had been tested healthy before the study.

Now Cassini’s mission (使命) has come to an end. Scientists made it fa ll and bum up in 2017. But before that happened, the spaceship had made many trips between Saturn and its rings, sending photos and other information bac k to the Earth.Cassini was a project carried out by NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. It took Cassini about seven years to reach Saturn. Scientists have learned many exciting things from Cassini. In 2005, Cassini sent a space probe (探测器) to Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, so scientists could g et a closer look at the moon’s surface. One of the most important discoveries Cassini made was that there is warm liquid water (液态水) under the ice that c overs one of Saturn’s smaller moons, Enceladus. Scientists believe conditions on Enceladus could be similar to the conditions that led to the development of life on Earth.Cassini’s mission was supposed to be ended in 2008, but because it was still in good shape, scientists increased its life to 2017. Cassini performed the last ta sk of its mission on September 15, 2017.When Cassini ran out of its fuel (燃料) and entered Saturn’s atmosphere (大气层), it burned up. Scientists said it was necessary for Cassini to be totally dest royed (毁坏) so there was no chance that microbes (微生物) from the Earth could be harmful to any possible life on Saturn.【小题1】What made scientists think that there might be life on Enceladus?A．Animals’ waste was found.B．They heard strange sounds.C．Some ice was seen to cover it.D．There is warm liquid water on it.【小题2】What might happen if Cassini wasn’t totally destroyed?A．It might destroy Saturn’s surface.B．It will fall onto the Earth.C．The microbes from the Earth might be bad for Saturn’s possible life.D．It will continue to send back information.【小题3】Which of the following things about Cassini is NOT mentioned?A．Its findings.B．Its lasting time.C．Its burning.D．Its later use.【小题4】What can be inferred from the passage?A．Cassini was a very successful and useful spaceship.B．Cassini has stayed in Saturn for ten years.C．The project of exploring Saturn was carried out by America alone.D．Enceladus is the biggest moon of Saturn.【小题5】What is the passage mainly about?A．The process (过程) of sending Cassini to Saturn.四、语法填空五、材料作文21.
