It’s an easy way to start a conversation. But do you know some weather terms can also express a feeling or situation. Here are some interesting expressions.Head in the cloudsIf someone has his head in the clouds, they are out of touch with the everyday world and can be unrealistic as a result.The expression reminds you to be aware of what’s happening around you.Take a rain checkIf you hear someone say “I’ll take a rain check”, it doesn’t mean that he will go out to see if it’s raining.In fact, the expression could be used as a polite way to turn down invitations. However, not as a full refusal, butmore likely to put the invitation off to another time.When it rains, it poursThe expression is used when something goes wrong, especially when a lot of things go wrong at the same time. People like to say it when they meet with bad lucks one after another in a short time.Weather the stormAs an extreme weather, a storm could be very dangerous and cause serious results. To weather the storm is to get through difficult situations in your life.1．Why do English people love talki ng about the weather in the writer’s opinion?A．They care about the weather very much.B．They want to know what’s happening around them.C．They don’t have other interesting things to talk about.D．They think it’s an easy way to start a conversation.2．What does the underlined phrase “turn down” mean?A．accept B．refuse C．throw D．change3．Which of the following statements is true?A．The whole article is telling us how to tell the weather.B．The writer thinks if someone has his head in the clouds, the person m ust care about what’s happening very much. C．When somebody says “when it rains, it pours”, he must be unlucky.D．The expression “weather the storm” can be used to put off an appointment.B14、Some people believe that classes, teachers and school buildings will no longer be necessary in the near future because of the Internet and other new technology. Perhaps this will be true one day, but if the world has no schools, I can't imagine how our society will be. In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better. We should invent a new kind of school connected to libraries, museums, science centers, labs and even companies. Technological companies should create learning programs for schools. Scientists could give talks through the Internet. TV networks and local stations could develop programs about things students are studying in school. Labs could set up websites to show new technology, so students could see it on the Internet.Is this a dream? No. There have been many cities where this is beginning to happen. Here the whole city is connected to the Internet, and learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office. Businessesprovide programs for the schools and the society. The schools provide computer labs for people without their own computers at home. Because everyone can go on the Internet, older people use it as much as younger ones, and everyone can visit faraway librariesand museums as easily as nearby ones. How will this new thing of school change the usual way of learning? It is a little early to be sure, but it is very exciting to think about it. Technology will change the way we learn; schools will change as well; and we will learn something from the Internet.1．Who thinks that students won’t have to go to school?A．Everyone. B．The writer.C．Some people. D．The teachers.2．What does “a new kind of school” mean in the passage?A．A school with many new computers.B．A school with many new students.C．A school with many new teachers.D．A school connected to the Internet.3．What the writer thinks is that____________.A．schools are still necessaryB．more schools should be builtC．there should be fewer schoolsD．more computers are needed in schools4．Why do people think learning can take place at home,at school, and in the office?A．Because whole city is connected to the Internet.B．Because everyone can go on the Internet.C．Because gettting online is very easy.D．Because scientists could give talks through the Internet.5．What fact does the passage NOT provide?A．Technology will change our way of learning.B．If you are a student ,you can set. up websites to show new technology.C．The schools provide computer labs for those who have no personal computers.D．On the Internet,you can visit another city’s libraries as easily as the peop le there.C15、Y our junior high school years are coming to an end. After the big exam, most of you will go on to study in a senior school. What are you expecting from senior high school? Let’s hear some teen readers talk about it.Zhou Zhijie, 15, from Shanghai:I have heard that although Senior 3 is a hard year, Senior 1 and Senior 2 are lessstressful. I hope there’ll be time then toenjoy sports. There will be plenty to see. Especially, the World Cup in Brazil is coming. We can watch football matches. I’m sure I’ll really enjoy it.Jin Xi, 16, from Harbin, Heilongjiang:I really enjoy science. I visit many science exhibitions. I am interested in UFOs, too. I’m crazy about making model planes, although I’m not very good at it because I don’t really have enough scientific knowledge. I’ll be learning more science in senior high school. In a word, sometime in the future I’m going to build an excellent model plane!Wang Yaling, 15, from Xiamen, Fujian:I hope I can be taller in senior high school. I’m only 155c m. Many people grow faster in senior and I hope I will, too. I want to be 162cm. But I’m not sure about that, since most girls in my family don’t grow taller than 160cm. I hope I’m different.Zhang Fang, 15, from Hebi, Henan:I expect that I’ll make more friends in senior high school. I study in a middle school in the country. Most of my classmates live nearby. In senior high school, I’ll meet different people from different areas. I hope I can learn new things from them.根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填涂在答题卡的相应位置。

Beer is sold in pint or half-pint glasses (a pint is just over half a litre).When you order a drink, ask for a ‘pint’ or a ‘half’ of the beer you want to try.There is no waiter service in an English pub.You go to the bar and place your order to the pub staff. They will pour your drinks and pass them to you. They will then tell you how much to pay.You have to pay your drinks there and then. After receiving your change,you can carry your drinks back to a table to enjoy. It is usual for friends to take turns buying drinks for each other.This is known as’buying a round’.Pubs sell cheap food too.The choice of food ranges(涉及) from small bar snacks such as crisps and peanuts ,tothree-course meals.A popular meal during the summer months is a ‘ploughman’s lunch ’.This is a dish ofbread ,cheese or ham ,and salad which is ser ved cold.You will often find a pub’s menu written on a blackboard .There may even be daily specials for you to try.You must be at least 18 years old to buy alcohol(含酒精的饮料)in England. Children under 14 years old are not usually allowed inside a pub, but families with children can sit outside in the garden, known as the beer garden ,when the weather is warm .Parents are allowed to buy soft drinks for their children.Pubs are places where people go to enjoy themselves .People like to drink, eat ,talk with friends and have a good time.If you go to an English pub ,you will get a true taste of English life.1．Traditional English beer is __________.A．served slightly cold B．served in pint glasses onlyC．Served by waiters D．called lager2．The bar staff ___________________.A．are called waiters B．expect you to tip themC．pour your drinks before you pay D．pour your drinks after you pay3．If you ‘buy a round’,you ______A．pay for your drinks at the end of a mealB．taste a variety of beersC．share the cost of drinking with friendsD．pay for your own drinks4．.Pub food _______A．is cheese or ham B．doesn’t cost much mo neyC．is called a ‘bar snack’D．is special English meal5．.Children _________A．are allowed in pubs B．can not drink alcoholC．must not eat pub food D．must buy rounds of drinks6．English pubs______A．serve only alcoholic drinks B．are for families onlyC．serve both food and drink D．are no longer common in EnglandD16、If you’ve tried studying when you’re tired, you know that it can seem very impossible to do well.A study of sleep in sparrows suggests the relationship between sleep and the ability to learn may be more complicated(复杂) than people knew.Niels C·Rattenborg, a scientist from Wisconsin-Madison, wanted to find out how the sparrows were able to deal with getting so much less sleep. He and his team brought eight wild birds into a lab and watched them for one year. They invented a game to check how well the birds could learn. In the game, the sparrows had to peck(啄)three buttons （按钮）in a right order to get a food treat. The scientists discovered that the birds’ ability to learn the right button or der depended on(依靠)two things: the time of year and the amount of sleep the birds had had.During the migration（迁徙）season, the sparrows were restless at night and got much less sleep than usual. Even so, they were able to understand how to get the food qui ckly as if they’d had a regular night of sleep. Outside the migration season, they found the sparrows that got less sleep than usual had much more difficulty learning how to get the food treats than birds that had a regular sleep.The results show that the sparrows can deal with much less sleep during the migration season than usual. If scientists can find out why, they may learn from sparrows and find ways of helping people deal with getting much less sleep. Until scientists fully understand the relationsh ip between sleep and learning, it’s better to get plenty of sleep when preparing for an exam.1．The passage is mainly about .A．sparrows’ migration.B．sleep lessons from Sparrows.C．how to get less sleep while studyingD．how sparrows that got less sleep get food treats2．Why can sparrows get much less sleep during the migration season?A．They eat more.B．The climate is betterC．They can get food quicklyD．Scientists still don’t know the reason.3．What fact does the passage lead you to believe?A．We should sleep as little as sparrows do.B．We should get enough sleep before an exam.C．When tired, we should try to focus on(聚焦) our study.D．When tired, we should check how we can sleep less than usual.E17、April will bring a new product - the Apple Watch - into the market. Last week, the watch was firstly introduced by Tun Cook, Apple's CEO. The price of the watch will differ from $349 to $1,099, depending on its size, strap and whether it is a sports or regular style.Apple engineers and designers have put in a lot of thought and hard work into creating this "small screen" on your wrist(手腕). The "sensor" on the screen not only detects your finger, but knows the difference between when you are tapping, and when you are pressing harder.The watch also has "hal)tic feedback(触觉反馈)". Y ou can send personal messages to your friend - such as drawing a star or a special sign with your fingers, or tapping the watch, say 3 times, and your friend will receive those taps on their wrist. Besides telling the time, the watch will use bluetooth' to connect with your iPhone and show calls or text messages that come in.According to Tim Cook, the watch may open up a whole new area of applications that we had never thought of. Some car factories like BMW have developed an app that allows its car owners to open their cars with the watch. A Hotels' app may allow you to open the door to your hotel room without worrying about losing the smart-card. And finally, even airlines are jumping in - passengers may be able to simply wave their wrist to check into their flight.The biggest use of the watch, however, is as your personal fitness coach. The watch can measure your pulse (heartbeat) using a sensor at the bottom of the watch. It also has the same "accelerometer" as your iPhone, so it knows when you are moving, and also how much you are walking or running, It will remind you if you have been sitting for too long without much activity.Many stores are planning to stop selling FitBit devices(设备) to welcome the Apple Watch. Will Apple Watch really replace these devices and make fitness much more fun?1．What product will Apple the company bring into the market?A．The apple. B．The new mobile phone.C．The apple watch.
