The weather is very hot all the year. It is a good place for holidays. Let’s enjoy its beauty together.Cute LemursMany lovely lemurs live in this country. They look like monkeys.

But sometimes they also eat insects and smaller animals.People in MadagascarMost people in the island are farmers. They are very friendly. They are brown and not tall. They speak Malagasy language and French. Look at the girl in the picture！Her father and mother are both farmers. They grow rice and bananas. And they also keep cattle . If they have the most cattle，they are the richest.Traveler’s Palm（旅人蕉）Traveler’s palm is a famous plant. It has many big leaves. When a traveler is hot，he can hide under the leaves.

Travelers can find much water in the leaves of the Traveler’s Palm.BIn a video posted on Sina Weibo，we can see a man slouching in a seat on a high-speed train. He is actually a university student .Now he is in the hot seat ，because he took a woman’s seat on the high-speed train a few days ago.When the woman asked him to give her seat back，he refused and said，“You have three choices –stand，take my seat or go to the dining coach.”A worker on the train then came to try to ask him to give the seat back. The man said he wasn’t able to stand on his own and asked for a wheelchair. Left with no other choice，the worker led the woman passenger to another seat. The video quickly spread online. Many are angry about the man’s behavior. Some people even dug up the man’s name，as well as his education and work history，showing the information online.The Jinan Public Security Center handed down a punishment for the young man. He was fined 200 yuan and will not be allowed to buy train tickets for some time.However，many people think it was not strict enough，adding that those who behave similarly on airplanes can be held criminally liable. China News Service noted.Experts explained that the present laws could be improved to stop train passengers from behaving poorly. And the government in Guangdong has already been on the way.29. What does the phrase “in the hot seat”probably meanA. Being in the center of a room.B. Facing some trouble.C. Sitting on an uncomfortable seat.D. Becoming popular.30. What do we know from the video posted on Sina WeiboA. The man stole a passenger’s purse.B. The man was sitting in someone else’s se at.C. The man was asking a woman to dinner.D. The man wanted to sit in a wheelchair.31. What did other people think of the young man’s behavior？A. They showed their understanding.B. They started to take others’ seats too.C. They felt angry about what he did.D. They gave their seats to him.32. What can we infer from the storyA. The man’s legs were seriously hurt.B. It’s alright to put others’ information online.C. Bad behavior on planes is not punished.D. Laws that punish bad behavior on trains are not as strict as those for planes.CTraveling makes us feel sick because modern transport tricks the brain into thinking we have been poisoned，a scientist has said.Being in a car，train，boat or plane makes conflicting signals in the brain which causes an action similar to something that happens when someone is poisoned. Dr Dean Burnett，from Cardiff University，said the feeling of sickness is caused because the brain thinks the body needs to remove a toxin through vomiting . But in fact，the “poisoning”effect is caused by the mixed messages-- for the muscles ，they tell the brain the body is motionless，but for the ears，they got the feeling that the body has some movement.Dr Dean Burnett explained that reading in a car made the feeling of travel sickness worse，because the eyes were focused on a small，motionless space and gave the brain no information to explain that the body was moving. The feeling of sickness could be weakened by looking out of a car window because this showed the brain that movement was taking place. “You can see the passage and movement itself，and that balances the system，” he said. “The brain’s going: ‘Oh，look，things are moving--I must be moving’--and then it calms down the sickness.”Dr Burnett said there was no clear reason why some people suffered from car sickness more than others. But he said there were several other aspects of modern life with which the brain had not yet recognized or understood.33. Tom often feels sick when traveling in a bus，because ________ according to the writer.A. buses make his brain into thinking he has been poisonedB. buses make him feel very excitedC. he doesn’t like taking a bus to anywhere at allD His body needs to remove a toxin through vomiting34.

Looking out of the windowB. Looking at the passage of the bus.C. Looking at the movement itself.D. Looking at something quiet.36. What’s the best title of the passageA. What a Terrible Travel！B. Why Do We Get Car Sick？C. The Danger of Modern TransportD. How to Keep Balance.DImagine getting the chance to go camping for five days. It would be an adventure in the wild.

Then it was time for hammocks ，reading，writing，making friendship bracelets，talking and napping，” Ruelle said.“I’m a lot less worried about things，” Wander said when asking how she felt without her cellphone. Her favorite thing to do was to lie in her hammock and look at the lake. Torelli enjoyed cooking. She made blueberry pancakes and sandwiches.No one felt hungry or homesick. “Mental health can be improved so much. It really helps to get away your smartphones and return to nature.” Ruelle s aid.37.

The past participle “invited” is used in this context to express the invitation in the past.3、After the heavy rain, a rainbow appeared,_______(make) the sky look more beautiful.Answer: makingExplanation: The correct form to use here is t he present participle “making” because it describes an action that happens as a result of the main verb “appeared.” It is not necessary to use “to make” because that would imply a future action or intention, whereas “making” shows an immediate consequence of the rainbow’s appearance.4、She insisted that she_______(be) right, even though everyone else disagreed.Answer: wasExplanation: In this sentence, “insisted” is used with a clause that states something believed to be true at the time of speaking, so we use the past tense “was” rather than “is.” Even though “insist” can sometimes be followed by “should” + infinitive (e.g., “She insisted that she should be right”), in this context, it is more natural to use “was” to convey her belief in thepast.5、I didn’t realize she was a famous actress until she__________(take) off her sunglasses.•Answer: took•Explanation: The sentence requires the past tense because it’s talking about an action that happened in the past. The subject “she” is singular, so we use “took,” which is the past tense of “to take.”6、If I__________(be) you, I would not miss this opportunity.•Answer: were•Explanation: This sentence is a type of conditional, specifically a second conditional, which talks about hypothetical situations. In such sentences, we use “were” for all subjects when referring to the present or future in the if-clause, even if the subject is “I.” The main clause then uses “would” plus a base form of the verb.7.In the 7 morning of October, we had a special class about environmental protection.答案：7th解析：此处需要用序数词来表示“十月的第一天早晨”。

He had to wait 10 minutes before he could get off the bus.Suddenly he heard a loud noise. He looked up and found that the bus driver was no longer in the driver’s seat. She had passed out and slumped（倒下）over on the bus’ stairs.Will left his seat，grabbed the two-way radio and reported that the driver was hurt. Soon another bus driver and an ambulance arrived. They sent the driver to the hospital. Will and everyone else on the bus went to class as usual.Will’s brave actions attracted a lot of attention.

Nobel Prize-winning writer Gabriel Garcia Mrquez died on that day at the age of 87.Garcia Mrquez was born in Colombia，but lived in Mexico for more than 30 years. He is one of the 20th century’s most famous writers.He is best-known for the novel in 1967—One Hundred Years of Solitude. It tells the story of a family over many years. The story shows the development of Colombia since the 19th century. The novel has sold about 50 million copies.He wrote in a style called“magical realism（魔幻现实主义）”. This style has both magic and reality（现实）. In such works，people live common lives during a certain time of history. But at the same time，magic things happen to them.In Garcia Mrquez’s works，a child is born with a pig’s tail，and a couple find an old man with big wings（翅膀）in their garden.He said he was encouraged by childhood stories told by his grandmother. She believed that anything waspossible. She often told him stories about ghosts（鬼魂）in their house.But his works are quite serious. He wrote during a period when much of Colombia was in a war. Everyday life in Colombia was hard. That’s why magical realism worked well at that time.1.It has been more than years since One Hundred Years of Solitude came out.A.50B.60C.70D.802.The novel mentioned in the passage is about.A.the history of AmericaB.a family story over many yearsC.the development of MexicoD.the war happening in America3.What did the writer’s grandmother often tell him？A.History.B.Stories.C.Dreams.D.Reality.4.Magical realism worked well at that time because.A.the life in Colombia was difficultB.the writer’s works were seriousC.the writer was quite good at writingD.there were some ghosts in his worksCAutism（自闭症）is a disorder of the brain that happens in the first three years of life. It affects the brain’s normal development. Most autistic patients have difficulty talking with other people or doing things. However，some of the autistic people have amazing abilities. For example，some can memorize many things and some can do calculations really fast.Raymond Babbitt in the 1988 film Rain Man is an example. The character in the film was based on Kim Peek，a man from the USA. Peek couldn’t switch on a light or put his clothes on by himself. But his memory was so amazing that he could remember almost anything. He could memorize every road，place and distance on maps. Hecould even remember almost every word in thousands of books. His way of reading was more amazing. Peek could read two pages at the same time in just eight to ten seconds. He read the left page with his left eye and the right page with his right eye.Scientists still don’t know for sure why some autistic people have special talent after they have done a lot of research. There is one possible explanation. When certain parts of the brain are damaged by autism，other parts of the brain might get stronger. Therefore special abilities are born.But not all people with autism have amazing abilities. In fact，autistic people with amazing abilities are rare and the abilities cannot be trained. According to research，only ten percent of autistic people show signs of special talent.1.What do we know about autism？A.It is a disorder of the bones.B.It happens all through one’s life.C.It helps people memorize things better.D.It affects the brain’s normal development.2.What makes Kim Peek different from others？A.He can do some basic things like dressing himself.B.He has a special talent in calculation.C.He has difficulty reading books.D.He has a very good memory.3.What does the underlined word“damaged” mean in Chi nese？A.毁坏B.强化C.开发D.摘除4.What does the passage mainly talk about？A.Ways of dealing with autism.B.The relationship between autism and talent.C.Ways of training autistic people’s abilities.D.Reasons for autistic people’s special talent.DThat cold January night，I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was，walking home at 1 a.m. in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away，I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked，I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings，I felt very small and cold. I began running，both to keep warm and to keep away any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment，I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly，half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still，the noise had made me nervous，so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes，my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search，I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside，“Alisa Camacho？” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name？The door opened，and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for？” he asked，holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that ni ght，but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life.1.On the cold January night，the writer was busy_______________.A. taking part in some city activitiesB. solving her problem at the bankC. learning acting in an evening schoolD. preparing for the coming night show2. The writer lost her wallet________________.A. at the theaterB. on her way homeC. near the doorD. in a tall building3.Why did the small red-haired man call the writer’s name？A.

There I was，walking home at 1 a.m. in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away，I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked，I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings，I felt very small and cold. I began running，both to keep warm and to keep away any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment，I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly，half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still，the noise had made me nervous，so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes，my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search，I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside，“Alisa Camacho？” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name？The door opened，and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for？” he asked，holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night，but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life.1.On the cold January night，the writer was busy_______________.A. taking part in some city activitiesB. solving her problem at the bankC. learning acting in an evening schoolD. preparing for the coming night show2. The writer lost her wallet________________.A. at the theaterB. on her way homeC. near the doorD. in a tall building3.Why did the small red-haired man call the writer’s name？A. Because he wanted to give back the wallet.B. Because he offered to take her back home.C. Because he wanted to get some money from her.D. Because he found her wallet in the garbage truck.4. What do you think the writer would do after that night？Why？（40-50 words）。

He reached a place where he saw two road in front of him, one to the right and the other to the left. Which road should he take? He heard the two men behind him, getting nearer, and at the same time he heard a voice in his ear. It told him to go to the right, and he did so. He ran on and soon came to a small hotel.

You’re not alone. Back experts in the United States are worried that young students are having back and neck problems as a result of carrying too much in their backpacks (schoolbags)“It hurts my back when I run,”said Oberlin Reyes, a student in Virginia. “It’s hard to go up the stairs with my backpack, because it’s too heavy,”Oberlin was among students whose backpacks were weighed for a week in a recent study.They had regular backpacks with two straps(带子)to carry them, but a number of students with heavy loads had switched to rolling backpacks (which have wheels and can roll on the ground).Shirley Park, whose backpack weighed 10 kilograms, said she changed to a rolling backpack because she was starting to have back pain.How much is too much? Experts say students should carry no more than 10 to 15 percent of their own body weight.A few students had one suggestion to lighten the load: less homework.P.S.( 附)Doctor’s suggestion:1 Lighten the load. Clean out binders(活页材料)and take home only the books youneed that night.2 Wide straps are better. They send out the weight over your shoulders more evenly(均匀)。
