Buy it on the Internet! Need it now? Why wait? Ask to receive it the next day! Each day, more and more people try on-line shopping. In fact, online sales have doubled in the last ten years. But not everyone is excited. Some scientists now say that online shopping is bad for the environment.People are surprised to hear this." They think, I don't need to drive, and the business doesn't need to build a store, so there will be less pollution," says Nuria Prost, an environmental scientist. "But it is not so simple. In fact, online shopping is wasteful. It also adds to air pollution."In truth, the Internet is not always as good a friend to the environment as it seems. For example, most people thought that the Internet would help offices use less paper and other materials. But paper use increased by33percent between 1986 and 1997."Online shopping could have similarly harmful results," says Nevil Cohen, a researcher of environmental science. Part of the problem is what people are buying these days. In the past, people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing material, such as books and clothing. But now people also shop online for large, heavy pro ducts such as televisions, computers, chairs and tables. These products need to be packed in lots of plastic and paper. This creates a lot of waste.Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution. When customers buy products and ask to receive them the next day, online businesses often have to send them by air. Airplanes use much more oil than cars and produce more carbon dioxide(二氧化碳). When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses, this creates even more travel by airplane.Online product returns are also a problem. For example, an online shoe store may allow customers to return shoes for free if they are wrong size. This doubles the packing materials and number of airline trips required to sell one pair of shoes."If people want to protect the environment, they need to think before they shop," says Prost. "People need to ask themselves: Is this exactly what I want? Do I really need it tomorrow, or can I wait?" Online stores can also ask customers to pay money for returns. This may make people shop more carefully." Online shopping is fast and easy, "says Prost," but we can't forget the harmful result it has caused to the environment."(1)The passage begins with several questions to .A. introduce the main topicB. describe online shoppingC. show the writer's opinionD. list advantages of shopping(2)What is the passage mainly about?A. The Internet is not good to the environment.B. Online shopping causes more air pollution.C. Online shopping is bad for the environment.D. Stop online shopping to protect the environment.(3)Which of the following is to show that online shopping is wasteful?A. Large products need more packing materials.B. Paper use increased by 33 percent about ten years.C. Businesses need to build a store to sell the products.D. Online shopping costs less than shopping in a store.(4)What is probably the best title of the passage?A. A Good Deal to MakeB. A Different Lifestyle to KeepC. A Cleaner Way to ShopD. A New Business to Start(5)Which of the following shows the structure(结构)of the passage?(P=Paragraph)A.B.C.D.3.阅读理解My 14-year-old son, John, and I saw the coat at the same time in a second-hand clothing store. It stood out among big and old coats. It was so beautiful and had an unbelievable price, $ 28. I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but John's eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys, but new ones could cost several hundred dollars. This coat was even better. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. It fit him so well. John wore the coal to school the next clay. After he came home, I asked. "Did the kids like your coat?""They loved it," he said with a big grin.Over the next few weeks, John changed. He was polite, less argumentative, more thoughtful, and much happier. "Good dinner, Mom," he would say every evening. Without a word of complaining, he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said, "You're right. I guess I will." When I mentioned this change to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.John and I both know we should never judge a person by his clothes. But it is true that when wearing beautiful and suitable clothes, we may try to be better in thought, speech and behavior to match what is on the inside to what is on the outside.(1)What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. The price of the coat was too high.B. John liked the coat very much.C. They often went shopping together.D. The writer didn't want to buy the coat.(2)What did John use to do when he was asked to study?A. Start at once.B. Put off his homework.C. Work hard on schoolwork.D. Carry in wood for the stove.(3)Which of the following changes did NOT happen to John after he wore the coat?A. He was willing to follow suggestions.B. He often helped to do some housework.C. He always worried about his study.D. He said sweet words to make his mother happy.(4)What does the writer want to say through this passage?A. What we wear could help shape who we are inside.B. Life is full of possibilities when we are young.C. We should not judge people by their appearance.D. It's a good choice to try different things in our lives.4.阅读理解One Thursday afternoon, when I was in Grade 9, a new boy came into my classroom. He was short and thin. He walked up to the teacher and told her, very seriously, that he was new. His name was Christian. He sat down, took a look at me, and then looked away. I didn't think he was very nice and I was sure he wasn't the type I would like to become friends with.During that year, I didn't talk to him much, but he smiled at me when our eyes met, always shyly. He never ate lunch with anybody, and he never talked to anybody but me.But one day I joined those unkind kids who were making fun of him. We made fun of him though I thought it was wrong."Haven't you got any friends?" a kid asked Christian, who had walked past us alone, head down. "No, he hasn't got any friends. He's too stupid and shy," I said. Then Christian looked up at me with the saddest dog eyes I had ever seen. I felt very sorry at that moment.That night, I couldn't sleep because I couldn't get Christian's face out of my mind. In the weeks that followed, he never met my eyes in class and never smiled at me. It was really hard for me to decide to write him a note asking him to forgive (原谅) me. But I thought I should.The next day in class, I wrote him a note telling him how sorry I felt. About five minutes later, I turned and saw tears in his eyes. "You will never realize what your apology (道歉) has meant to me, Jimmy," he said to me. "I hope we can become friends."We had lunch together that noon and we had the best talk I had ever had. Over the years at high school, we were close friends.When I think back, I realize that, if I had not apologized, I would never have known what a lovely person Christian was!Apologies can really change your life, so never miss the chance to tell somebody you are sorry.(1)From the passage, we know Christian was a ________ boy.A. tall and fatB. short and shyC. short and activeD. lovely and fat(2)Jimmy felt ________ after he made fun of Christian with other unkind kids.A. happyB. interestedC. sorryD. bored(3)This passage tells us that ________.A. we should make an apology when we hurt othersB. Jimmy's apology was unimportant to ChristianC. Christian wasn't lovely in factD. it is impossible to say sorry to others5.阅读理解Big data(数据) is lot of sets of information that are put together so they can be used by a computer program. The computer program looks for different kinds of answers or patterns in the data. Big data can have different kinds of information from many sources, such as information that comes from schools, social media sites(社交媒体网站), companies and governments.One set of data can have people's names and addresses. Another set can have what they like, where they go to school, and how much time they spend on the computer.Big data can be used in many ways. The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains. This information is then used to make bus or train systems better. Some schools use big data to understand which children may need more help in class. The teacher can then give certain students more help or support so those students can succeed in school. Companies use big data, too. It helps them understand who buys their products. For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream.Big data can be used for good reasons. Some hospitals use big data to predict if a baby who is born too early will get sick. The hospital can then take extra steps to take care of that baby so he, she does not get sick. Big data can also be used for bad reasons. It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong.How can big data be used for good and bad things? It is because the computer programs used to look at big data and understand it are written by people. People think a certain way. Because they think a certain way, they build a model of those ideas. These ideas are then used to look at the data. Sometimes, these ideas are helpful for people or businesses. Other times, bad ideas can cause problems for certain groups of people.(1)This reading is about ______.A. what big data is and how it is usedB. what schools and hospitals people likeC. where important data is collected and storedD. how big data is controlled by governments and companies(2)One company uses weather information to ______.A. help children in needB. know when people will visit the hospitalC. find out who tides the bus or trainD. understand when people will need ice cream (3)The main idea of Paragraph 3 is ____.A. big data can be used for good reasonsB. we can use big data in a number of waysC. big data can be used for both good and bad reasonsD. we can use big data to stop babies from getting sick(4)The overall tone (总基调) of this reading is _________.A. sad and personalB. personal and scientificC. informative but sillyD. scientific and informative6.阅读理解I'm sure most people like music. Music can not only bring us wonderful enjoyment, but also bring us happiness when we are tired or sad. And many people have the habit of enjoying music when they are free. But to our surprise, one English school allows children to listen to music or even to have the TV on while they are studying, and they find it is helpful to improve the students' grades.According to a research at Millfield School in the UK, around 20% of teenagers work better withbackground music, and 10% excel when allowed to finish their work with short walks around the room while up to 80% can concentrate (集中注意)better if allowed to play with a small object.The research has made the school use a very new way, encouraging students to discover which learning styles suit them best, and then do their homework listening to music or even lying down. Some parents don't believe, .but many are now accepting it at home where children are allowed to do their homework with the television on."I prefer to work on the floor with music on," said Sam, a 13-year-old boy." At first my parent thought I didn't study hard, but my teacher asked them to look at my homework and when they saw it was OK, they agreed at last."(1)What advantage of music hasn't been mentioned in the passage?A.

But for those who are interested in adventure and sports, there is a lot to do. Vanuatu's islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano(火山) surfing and land diving.Volcano Surfing On Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises 361 metres into the sky. Yasur is an active volcano, and it erupts(爆发) almost every day, sometimes several times a day. For centuries, people have climbed this mountain to visit the top. Recently, people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano. In some ways, volcano surfing is like surfing in the sea, but in other ways it's very different. Volcano surfers try to escape the erupting volcano-- without getting hit by flying rocks! It's fast, fun and dangerous- the perfect extreme sport(极限运动).Land Diving Most people are familiar with bungee jumping, but do you know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu and is almost fifteen centuries old? The activity, first called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony(宗教仪式). A man ties tree vines(树藤) to his legs. He then jumps head- first from a high tower to touch the earth with the top of his head- without breaking the vine. Every spring, island natives (men only)still take part in this amazing activity.(1)In the first paragraph, what does the underlined word refer to?A. People.B. Animals.C. Activities.D. Islands.(2)According to the passage, Mount Yasur?A. is no longer activeB. is on Pentecost IslandC. erupts almost every dayD. rises 800 metres into the sky(3)Why have people recently started climbing Mount Yasur?A.

Because people can surf the volcano.(4)Which of the following about land diving is TRUE?A. It is not dangerous at all.B. It was first called "bungee jumping".C. It is a traditional activity in Vanuatu.D. It came to Vanuatu from another country.(5)What is the purpose of the passage?A. To tell people not to do dangerous sports.B. To explain what volcano surfing and land diving are.C. To talk about the world's best volcano surfer and land diver.D. To compare activities in Vanuatu with sports in New Zealand.9.阅读理解On Miriam's 9th birthday two years ago, her aunt, who lives in Kenya(肯尼亚), gave money to a group that cares for elephants to celebrate Miriam's birthday.

Miriam said.Miriam is working to make money for Elephant Nature Park in Thailand. She asked her friends to give money to the park rather than giving her birthday gifts.She recently joined about 12 other students in an art center. They made elephants from clay and decorated(装饰) them. Then she created a plan to sell clay elephants.Kate, Miriam's art teacher, opened her art studio(工作室)to Miriam and her friends on weekends so they could make clay elephants. She even gave them the clay." It's great to see a young student wanting to spend her time on something meaningful. This is what we should all work towards," Kate said.Miriam says she has sold 180 clay elephants worth 2, 000 dollars, and all of that money has been sent to Elephant Nature Park in Thailand.(1)Miriam went to Africa to ________.A. join a groupB. visit her auntC. help save elephantsD. learn about the group (2)The underlined word "abused" in Paragraph 3 means .A. 虐待B. 杀害C. 训练D. 饲养(3)Which of the following is TRUE about Kate from the passage?A.

命题一(原文)Plastic pollution in the Pacific (252 words)Did you have a favorite plastic toy when you were a child? Did it break? Did your parents throw it away? Well, I know where it is. It’s floating in the Pacific Ocean in a place called the North Pacific Gyre. How did it get there? Well, let me explain.Many countries around the Pacific dump their garbage in the ocean. Most of the garbage sinks to the bottom. But plastic floats-just like the plastic duck in your bathtub. However, unlike water in a bathtub, the water in the Pacific Ocean moves. It moves in a clockwise motion and this spinning motion, called a gyre, pulls things toward the middle. So, all the plastic ends up in the same place. One scientist says the area looks just like “plastic soup”.This phenomenon of spinning plastic soup was discovered about ten years ago. Since that time the amount of plastic in this area has increased tenfold. And this plastic will not just go away: it takes 400 years for plastic to degrade! And, even worse, fish and sea birds are eating the plastic. They think it looks like food. The plastic doesn’t poison them but the fish (who are not smart!) think their bellies are full. So, they stop eating and die of starvation. Dolphins and whales will also eat plastic and die.Governments are starting to work together to clean up this area but it will take many years. That’s why we should always try to recycle plastic… even our old toys.命题二(原文)Real kid cowboy rides to school. (267 words)How do you usually get to school? By bus? On foot? Rody Burch, 16, a US student, gets to school a little differently – he goes by horse.Burch has been riding his white horse 4 miles (6.4 km) to and from school since the beginning of the semester. “Every morning, wearing my blue jacket and jeans, I am on my way at 6 am,” Burch says. “The roads are mostly empty at this time of morning. It’s a nice way to start the day.”The idea was his dad’s. His family was enjoying their vacation at their farm this summer. “My dad just said: ‘Roby, you should ride your horse to school every day’,” saysBurch. He thought it really was a great idea.When they got back home, Burch asked for permission from the headmaster, Joe Cox, and, surprisingly, he got the green light. Cox even allowed Burch to keep the horse next to the headmaster’s house. Then, his dad helped Burch find the best route to school. It is along back streets and has fewer cars.For the return trip every afternoon, Burch leaves school at 5:45 pm. Even now, as the days grow shorter and colder, he continues to ride Jet. “I will ride my horse even in the coldest weather,” he says.Burch says the first time he sat on a horse as a 4-year-old he was afraid, but now, “it’s what I do best.” It’s no surprise that he wants to be a cowboy when he grows up. “I love riding horses more than anything,” he says. “It’s really a guy thing.”命题三(原文)Going to a concert (230 words)Anna and Jane had tickets for a pop concert in London. They were very excited about the concert. They had planned their day out in London very carefully. They worked out which trains to catch, where to eat and where they wanted to go shopping. Then they got some really exciting news. A friend of Jane’s was working with the sound equipment backstage. He said he could get them special passes so they could go backstage. He promised to ask the group if the girls could come to say ‘Hello’. He said that he was sure he could get them the group’s autographs. The girls could hardly wait!Then two days before the concert, Anna got a cold. It got worse and worse, even though she stayed in bed and took medicine. On the evening before the concert, she had a fever and was very sick indeed. Anna’s mother rang Jane. “Anna’s too sick to go to the concert,” she said. “You had better find someone else to go with.”The next day, Anna was feeling very sorry for herself. Then she had a visitor. It was Jane! She came with a big bag of fruit and a pile of their favorite CDs.“I gave the tickets to Jill and Sue in the end,” she said. “We’ll go to another concert when you’re well. It wouldn’t be much fun without you.”命题一(改后)Did you have a favorite plastic toy when you were a child? Did it break? Did your parents throw it away? Well, I know where it is. It’s floating (漂浮) in the Pacific Ocean in a place called the North Pacific Gyre (环流). Well, let me explain how it got (7s) there.Many countries around the Pacific put their garbage in the ocean.

She's so happy, and the dog is happy, too! "I want to call him Eco," says Holly. "Come here, Eco!" And Eco wags (摇摆) his tail."That dog is your responsibility (责任), Holly," says her father. "No problem!" Holly agrees.Before school, Holly takes Eco for his first morning walk. She feels very tired. It's really cold and dark—and it's so early! But Eco doesn't mind. He runs, stops, runs again, sees a black cat, tries to run after it and nearly pulls Holly off her feet!Holly realizes it's late when she gets back from the walk. She quickly eats a piece of bread, takes her bag andjacket, and runs to school.What a busy morning! But that's not all for looking after a pet dog.When Holly takes Eco for his evening walk, it's quite dark outside. Holly feels nervous. She runs along the road with him, but it's difficult. Because Eco often stops to study the bushes and trees. And he often tries to catch birds, or play with sticks and fallen leaves.A few days go by. Then…It's raining outside. Eco enters…and the trouble starts. Eco's dirty paws leave prints everywhere, on the floor, on the blanket, on the sofa…"Come here, Eco!" says Holly. She wants to stop him, but it doesn't work.Holly gets really angry now. She decides to punish Eco. So that night Eco is kept in the green house alone.When Holly enters the green house next morning, it's a disaster. Her mum's plants and flowers are lying on their sides or on the floor. And the pots (花盆) are broken into a hundred pieces. And Eco is sitting in the soil and leaves. "Oh, no," says Holly. She realizes it's time to train the dog. "He needs to know the rules."Every day after school, Holly repeats simple orders to Eco. If he can do as ordered, he can get nice bones. The amazing thing is, Eco really enjoys it. For him, it's one big game.So Eco learns to sit when Holly says, "Sit!" He learns to come when Holly says, "Come here!"…And he doesn't get into trouble!5.What can we learn from Holly's words in paragraph 2?A. She is glad to take care of the dog.B.

"Follow me!" No one moved."No, seriously," Henry said. "You know I'm always running late. I know every shortcut in town." The others finally agreed.A few sharp turns, and they were there! This time Amy read the clue aloud: Now go to the place where the football is running around!"The football stadium!" They called out together and started to run…Now they'd got the final clue: Look where you've been, see where you are. Use your map wisely and you'll be a star!Looking closely at the map, everyone thought hard."Aha! A star!" Cindy suddenly broke the silence. She quickly took out a pencil.As they watched her drawing lines on the map, everyone understood.They began running back to where they started. They were closer and closer, and finally crossed the finish line-just one step behind the Red Team!"So…close…" Tyler made a face, and they all laughed together."Nice job, new girl," Cindy gave Amy a high-five."That was really fun," said Henry.

Jordan glanced at his dad again.His dad pointed to Jordan,then held up two fingers on one hand and three fingers on the other."Me?"Jordan mouthed.Dad nodded.Jordan had scored 23 points.Another basket would break the record.And it was the right time to do it! Jordan ran right,then left,but he was still a long way from the basket.The viewers started counting the seconds."Four …three …two."Jordan rose to shoot.As the Lions rushed toward him,he passed the ball to Devin—wide open near the basket. Devin turned and shot.The ball fell cleanly through the net for the winning points."Yes!"Jordan shouted.After celebrating with his team,he ran to hug his parents."You still have the record,"he told his dad.Dad smiled."You have something more important.A championship.And great teammates.Congratulations on your history!"30.Which of the following is true according to the article?______A.
