Some of them are thought to be bad habits. People spend countless hours each year trying to get rid of these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change demands hard work and there is no shortcut to achieve it. However, there is still some advice for you to follow.First, figure out why you do it. In other words, what's the result of doing this thing? If your bad habit is shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure, what do you get from it? It may make you feel a little better for a moment. Or maybe you have a bad habit of leaving your homework undone. The result could be that you get more time to spend on the Internet!Next, take a look at them on the other hand. What do you lose because of your bad habits? Shouting at other people is a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad andunhappy. Leaving your homework undone is a bad habit because you may be punished by your teacher. Having more Internet time means that you lose the chance to learn things that you need to learn. When you think in this way, you'll find that it's not wise to keep your bad habit! Now it is time to make a decision. What will you choose? I'm sure you will choose to do what you think is more important.（1）From Paragraph 1, we know that ______.A a habit is a terrible thing that we can never changeB it takes people countless hours to get rid of their bad habits successfulC none of the people who try to break bad habits are successfulD though it is difficult, we can still do something about our bad habits（2）The underlined part "there is no shortcut to achieve it" means that "______".A it is not easy to get rid of bad habitsB there is a long way and a shortway C something dangerous may happen D we must cut it in a short time（3）According to the passage, if you want to get rid of your bad habits, you have to ______.A talk to others when you are in low spiritsB know why you do itC finish your homework firstD spend less time on the Internet（4）What does the underlined word "it" refer to in Paragraph 3?A Getting rid of the bad habits.B Forming good habits.C Spending countless hours.D Shouting at other people.（5）The main purpose of this passage is to ______.A introduce and describeB complain and disagreeC explain andadvise D discuss and argue4.The distance between ancient Rome and ancient China was about 4, 000 miles by land. There were terrible deserts and high mountains on the way. It was a very dangerous trip. The Silk Road was a nickname (别称) for any route that any trader took from China to Rome.For a very long time, the ancient Romans did not know who was making this wonderful cloth called silk. The Romans first discovered pieces of silk in the goods they took from some of the people they conquered (征服) . But those people did not know where the silk was made. They had traded for the silk.The Romans tried to find the traders as they came into villages to trade silk for other goods. But the traders did not know who made the silk either. In fact, the trading along the Silk Road was a relay (接力) system. One trader would travel for a while, stop and trade, and return home. The next trader would continue, stop and trade, and return home. And so it went. No trader made the whole trip because the trip was too dangerous. The desert had little or no water, and the mountains were dangerous and sand storms would blow up out of nowhere. Even the snakes were scary.The Romans were upset. The demand (需求) for silk in Rome had grown. Rome had gold and silver and treasure. They hoped to find "The Silk People" , as the Romans called these unknown people and trade with them. But they couldn't find them.The Romans sent out their men to follow the "Silk Road" and find the "Silk People". But most never returned because those who did said they could not make it through the desert. They had to turn around and come back.This went on for a very long time.As the years went by, along the Silk Road, temples appeared. There were even cities built on the oasis (绿洲) . It was never easy to travel by land from China to Rome. But it was worth it. Rome traded gold and treasure for China's silk and spices (香料) . But more things travelled along the Silk Road than traders and goods. Ideas travelled along the Silk Road as well. The ideas changed the world.（1）According to the passage, ______.A ancient Rome was about three thousand miles away from ancient ChinaB there were terrible deserts and high mountains between Rome and ChinaC ancient Romans traded directly with traders from ancient ChinaD ancient Romans wanted to conquer ancient China（2）The underlined part "it was worth it" probably means "______".A the thing was worth doingB the goods was expensiveC the Silk Road was valuableD the silk was worth buying（3）From the passage, we know ______.A ancient Rome was very poorB ancient Silk Road was very safeC ancient China's silk was very popularD ancient China was full of ancient Romans（4）Which is the correct order according to the passage?a. What the Silk Road meant.b. Some ideas spread along the Silk Road.c. How the traders traded along the Silk Road.d. Some temples appeared along the Silk Road.e.

He Lifeng, minister of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at the 13th National People's Congress this year. He said, "A number of key infrastructure（基础设施）projects to build Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area have been on fast tracks. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge has been completed. And the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong High-speed Railway has been completed basically."Ma Xingrui, governor（省长）of South China's Guangdong Province at the National People's Congress, said, "Guangdong will use its advantages to play a coordinating（协调）role and improve the cooperation and communication between Guangdong and Hong Kong and between Guangdong and Macao." Ma added, "There is also a plan for building the world-class port and airport in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in the future."The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area was first written in Government Work Report last year. And in the Government Work Report of the 13th National People's Congress on Mar 5 this year, Premier Li Keqiang said the country will improve cooperation in all areas between the mainland, Hong Kong, and Macao. A challenging goal set for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is to grow into the world's leading bay area to New York,San Francisco and Tokyo. While the situation of "one country, two systems", "three customs" and "four key cities" is the biggest feature of the Greater Bay Area, it is also where the challenge and pain point are, the report said.Ma Huateng, chairman and CEO of Tencent, suggested at the 13th National People's Congress, "We should encourage the equal development of industries in the Greater Bay Area. Shenzhen and Guangzhou are leading in the innovative（创新的）industry and Hong Kong is strong in finance（金融）industry and the other cities in the whole Pearl River Delta are competitive in smart manufacturing（制造业）and high-end manufacturing. If they give out their own advantages in software, hardware and service together, they will show great power," Ma said.（1）Each of the following projects is in operation EXCEPT ______ according to He Lifeng.A Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong High-speed RailwayB Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay AreaC Guangzhou-Zhuhai-Macao High-speed RailwayD The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge（2）According to Ma Xingrui, governor of Guangdong, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will ______.A have the world-class technology centre in itB have the world-class port and airport in itC become high-end manufacturing baseD become the financial centre of the world（3）Which of the following is NOT true about the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area?A It's of the feature of "one country, two systems", "three customs" and "four key cities".B It was written in Government Work Report last year and this year.C It's where the challenge and pain point are.D It has become the world's leading bay area.（4）From Ma Huateng, chairman and CEO of Tencent, we infer Zhuhai probably has its advantage in ______.A smart manufacturingB innovative industryC finance industryD hardware（5）The passage is ______.A a storyB a piece of newsC a reportD a poster5.Great Volunteer Activities for KidsDo you want to be a volunteer?

Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.Body signalsPilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means, "yes". When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means "no". If you want the pilot to know that it's safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend your knees. If you want to say that it's not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side. Smoke signalsThe smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it's a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn't hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if it gets out of control. Never light a tire unless you're sure that it can't spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.Ground-to-air signalsIt's a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols（标记）. If you can't find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:F: "I need food and water."II: "I need medicine."I: "I am badly hurt."X: "I am unable to move from here."Pilots' repliesIf the pilot lowers the plane's wings from side to side, this means: "message received and understood"（At night, the pilot flashes the plane's green lights. ）If the pilot flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means "message received but not understood".（At night, the pilot flashes the plane's red lights. ）However, there is no signal which means "message not received."（1）According to the passage, you can use ______ to build ground-to-air signals on a lonely island.A wood or earthB grass and leavesC wood and leavesD sand or grass（2）Which picture means "it's safe to land"?A B C D（3）If the pilot flies the plane in a clockwise circle, what does this mean?A It means "message not received".B It means"message received and understood". C It means"message received but not understood". D It's not mentioned in the passage.（4）From the passage we know that ______.A swinging your arm from side to side means"yes" B light smoke can be seen easily if the ground is dark C make a symbol "I"if you need some medicine D the pilots make replies with a yellow light at night（5）What is the passage mainly about?A The explanation of body signals on an island.B The importance of making signals on a n island.C Ways of living on a lonely island.D Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island.四、阅读填空7.阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

I waited anxiously, knowing that once I received it I would know how good a writer I really was.When the paper arrived at my classroom, I nearly knocked down five of my classmates to get to the first paper. With a school paper in my hands, I returned to my seat. About a month earlier, I had handed in one of what I believed to be my best stories. I named it The Symbol of Success. The head of the English Department at my school, Professor Cullen, had said that she would include some reviews of students' stories in the latest school paper. Professor Cullen was known for her rough criticism. Impressing her was very hard, but I wanted to be the first to do so.I sat at the edge of my seat as I read through the other story reviews. There wasn't one story that got more than three stars. I became calm and wasn't anxious to know my review. It was long after that when I heard someone shout out "Five stars? Seriously?" behind me. I turned around and saw the shocked expression on Gene's face, "Peter, your story gets five stars!" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I turned my attention back to my story and saw the five stars at the end of the review that I had not read yet. I looked through the review written by Professor Cullen. She wrote that I had a gift for story writing.I was proud that I achieved what I thought was impossible. For so long I believed I wasn't so good as I thought I was and that my talent was not enough to cover up my lack of writing skills. But this review proved that I was truly a good writer and that there was a great future ahead of me in the field of fiction writing. The review and the five stars meant the world of me. Those five stars became the symbol of my success.（1）How did the writer get the school paper？A His teacher gave it to him first.B The publisher sent it to him first.C His friend hel ped him get the first one.D He rushed ahead to get the first one.（2）What can we learn about Professor Cullen？A She was very gentle to everyone.B She seldom praised her students.C She was ve ry cold to her students.D She was respected by her students.（3）We can learn from this text that Peter ______.A had thought his story was better than those of others'B was always anxious to know his reviewC didn't know he got five stars until Genetold him. D looked through a few stories that had got four stars.（4）What did Professor Cullen think of Peter's story?A She thought highly of it.B She thought it was just so-so.C She thought it was extremely bad.D She doubted if it was written by Peter.（5）Why did the review and the five stars mean the world to Peter?A Because they helped him learnwriting skills. B Because they made him happy for some time. C Because they helpedhim enter a key university. D Because they made him see his writing talent.4.It had been some time since Jack saw the old man who used to live next door. In the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often had no time to spend with his family."Mr Belser died last night," one day, his mother told him on the phone. Memories flashed through his mind like an old film as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days. But in fact, it had been so long since Jack thought of him."Well, he didn't forget you. Every time I saw him, he'd recall the days you spent over 'his side of the fence'," his mum told him."He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important...Mum," Jack said. "I'll be there for the funeral（葬礼）." As busy as he was, he kept his word. He caught the next flight to his home town.The night before he had to return home, Jack and his mum looked at the old house next door one more time. Standing in the doorway, Jack stopped suddenly. "What's wrong, Jack?" his mum asked. "The box is gone," he said. "There used to be a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he'd ever tell me was 'the thing I value most'."About two weeks later, Jack received a package（包裹）. On it, the name Mr Harold Belser caught his attention. He couldn't wait to open the package and a familiar small old gold box appeared in front of him. In it, there was a beautiful gold pocket watch with a note. Jack's hands shook as he read these words: "Jack, thanks for your time! Harold Belser.""The thing he valued most...was...my time." Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then cleared his appointments（预约）for the next two days. "Why?" Janet, his assistant asked. "I need some time to spend with my mother, wife and son," he said. "Oh, by the way, Janet...thanks for your time!"（1）From the passage, we know Mr Belser used to be Jack's ______.A grandfatherB fatherC neighbourD teacher（2）Jack was a man who ______.A was busy with workB was bored with lifeC didn't know how to return others' helpD didn't know how to get on well with others（3）The underlined word "familiar" probably means "______" in the passage.A strangeB fashionableC dirtyD well-known（4）According to the passage, we can infer（推断）______.A Mr Harold Belser's box was full of goldB Mr Harold Belser valued the time he used to spend with JackC Jack will spend lots of time doing business to make his family live a happy lifeD Jack will take his wife and son to his home town to live together with his mother（5）What does the writer want to tell us through the passage?A We should be nice to all the old people.B We should spend more time with our family.C We should work hard to make enough money.D We should thank the people who often help us.5.Sunshine Secondary School Science FairSUNSHINE SECONDARY SCHOOL PRESENTSStudent Science FairFor Students in Grades 7-9Dates: August 30-31Place: Sunshine Secondary School GymExplore Your World...Think like a ScientistThe Student Science Fair offers you a great way to put your science knowledge to use!

In fact, they say animals probably don't have love, anger, hate or other emotions either.Scientist Joseph LeDoux studies mice to find out whether animals have emotions. He found that mice feel at least one emotion-fear. He also found the part of the brain that seems to control fear in mice. In humans, that part of the brain controls fear and some other emotions.A number of scientists say animals have emotions. Some scientists who have studied such animals as dogs, cats, elephants and lions say those animals feel emotions.Scientist Joyce Poole studies elephants. She has written that pachyderms often show sadness when a relative dies. She says elephants have “deep emotions”．Jane Goodall studies chimpanzees（黑猩猩）. She says she has seen them playing andrunning after one another for fun. Goodall also says they feel sad sometimes. For example, an old chimpanzee died, and one of her sons, Flint, refused to eat food. Flint's brothers and sisters tried to get him to eat, but they failed. Three weeks later, Flint died. Goodall says Flint “died of sadness”．More recently, scientist Marc Bekoff watched an elk（麋鹿）run back and forth through the snow. Bekoff said it was feeling the “joy of life”. He said he couldn't prove that animals have feelings, because animals can't talk. But he said animals can communicate feelings in other ways. “I can't prove that an animal is feeling happy or sad, but I can guess how he or she is feeling through body language and facial expressions,”he said.（1）Which of the following emotions can a mouse feel according to the passage?A Anger.B Love.C Fear.D Happiness.（2）The underlined word “pachyderms” may refer to"______".A lionsB elephantsC chimpanzeesD cats（3）Marc Bekoff believes animals have feelings because he saw______.A a chimpanzee died of sadnessB a mouse that was afraidC an elephant felt sad for a dead relativeD an elk ran back and forth with joy（4）According to the passage, how do scientists find out whether or not animals have feelings?A By writing about how animals feel.B By asking animals directly how theyfeel. C By watching the body language and facial expressions of animals. D By watching how much animals eat at different time during the day.（5）What's the passage mainly about?A Joyce Poole's studies on how elephants feel.B Scientists who are arguing over some animals.C Jane Goodall's work with chimpanzees.D Scientists' ideas about whether or not animals have feelings.4.China won the wheelchair curling（冰壶）gold medal for its first-ever Winter Paralympic （残奥会的）medal at the 2018 PyeongChang Games here on Saturday, March 17, 2018.

But sometimes it is not so convenient when we can't find a recycling bin anywhere.A team of middle school students in the US noticed this problem, so they designed the Recycling Bin App（应用软件）. This app encourages people to recycle. It provides users with a map of local recycling centres. And it allows them to save places as favourites on it. This app also reminds users to recycle.The team is made up of nine students from STEM Centre Middle School. They came up with the idea as part of a school project for the Verizon Innovative App Challenge. The competition was designed by the Verizon Foundation to increase students' interests in science, technology, engineering and maths. It asks students to think of an app that could solve a problem in their school or city. The nine students came up with the idea for the Recycling Bin App when they saw a need for more recycling."We thought that this would really help a lot of people," said Jaden Hilkemann, 12."We worked together and it was great," Jacob Pfeifer, 12, added that they learned a lot when working together. "At first, we didn't agree on what we wanted it exactly to do, but in the end we all came to an agreement," he said.They kept their design easy so that anyone could use it. Now the free Recycling Bin App has been put into use in the Google Play（谷歌商店）for Android phones."I was so excited when it went up at the app store," said Seralyn Blake, 12.

They are important to teenagers, although not all of them have to do with their subjects.RuleⅠ: Life is not fair. Try to learn to get used to it. Many people won't understand the real meaning of this rule until they've failed to find fairness again and again.RuleⅡ: The real world won't care about you as much as your school does. It will expect you to learn to understand the real world after you leave school. Then you'll be sure of what to do with the real world.RuleⅢ: If you think your teacher is terrible, wait until you get a boss. Your boss won't ask you how you feel about your work and will never give you more care or help. He'll only care about how much money you can help him earn.RuleⅣ: TV is not real life. Your life is not a sitcom. Your problems won't be solved in 30 or 45 minutes. In real life, people usually have to leave the coffee shops to look for jobs.RuleⅤ: Smoking does not make you look cool.

I admit I was too, as I didn't want him to steal anything either! I told the cashier that if he got a drink, I'd just pay for it.In the end, we both ended up leaving the store, but he stood right outside holding the samosas and saying to me "Thank you! Thank you!".This man's situation saddened me. I thought about the watchful eye the cashier and I kept over him. Maybe for different reasons, but still. In fact, if we pay a little more attention to these men, they can live happier lives. And then, our society will become more harmonious （和谐的）and peaceful.

Yes!Many Chinese use messenger tools such as MSN or QQ, listen to music on MP3 players and blog on the Internet using ADSL, but most people don't know the Chinese meanings of the abbreviations（缩写）, as many English letters have become a part of the local lexicon（词汇）. Some parents are so crazy about English letters that a couple tried to name their baby "＠". They said the character used in email addresses reflected their love for the child. While the "＠" is obviously familiar to Chinese email users, they often use the word "at" to pronounce it, which sounds like "ai ta"，or "love him"，to Mandarin（普通话）speakers. "Nowadays, more and more English abbreviations are being used in Chinese, making them an important part of the modern language," said Hou Min, a professor at Communication University of China. "The abbreviations are very popular because they can be used easily,"Hou said. "As more Chinese people learn foreign languages, especially English, in recent years, using abbreviations has become a trend（趋势）among some educated people," she said. Some language scholars fear such usage will influence the purity of Chinese and cause confusion（混乱）in communication.（1）Which of the following is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 2?A Using messenger tools such as MSN.B Listening to music on MP3players.

C Because they want to show their love. D Because it is easy for children to write "＠".（4）The underlined words "such usage" in the passage refer to "______".A more and more Chinese abbreviations are being used in EnglishB Chinese students can use Chinese in English correctlyC many Chinese use messenger tools such as MSN or QQ, and listen to music on MP3 playersD more and more English abbreviations are being used in Chinese（5）What does this passage mainly talk about?A English abbreviations aren't used in Chinese widely.B Technology influences the purity of Chinese language.C Some parents think it important to name their baby "＠".D Using abbreviations has become a trend among some educated people.4.World Environment Day is held each year on June 5.

More than 68.5 million poor people have been lifted out of poverty in China over the past five years. That means 37,000 people escaped poverty every single day.
