More often the doctors can’t fix the damage. Sometimes, they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. He made the monkeys’ blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys’ brains. Wh en the brain’s temperature was 10℃, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like what they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.4. The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that .A. the time is too short for doctorsB. the patients are often too nervousC. the damage is extremely hard to fixD. the blood-cooling machine might break down5. With Dr. White’s new idea, the operation on the damaged brain .A. can last as long as 30 minutesB. can keep the brain’s blood warmC. can keep the patient’s brain healthyD. can help monkeys do different jobs6. What is the right order of the steps in the operation?a. send the cooled blood back to the brainb. stop the blood to the brainc. have the blood cooled downd. operate on the brainA. a, b, c, dB. c, a, b, dC. c, b, d, aD. b, c, d, a7. What mainly makes the brain operation possible?A. Taking the blood out of the brain.B. Trying the operation on monkeys first.C. Having the blood go through a machine.D. Lowering t he brain’s temperature.CIf we want to deal with the association(社交) between boys and girls properly, here are some “dos and don’ts” for you to follow.Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very nature for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. We should keep in touch with the other sex in public instead of in secret.Don’t be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out. You can make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.Don’t fall into the ditch of early love. The boys and girls at a adolescence (青春期) are rich in feeling. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apple won’t taste sweet until it is full ripe. Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love.8. We should keep in touch with the other sex in following ways EXCEPT .A. with a good state of mindB. in real friendshipC. in publicD. in secret9. If you are a shy person, you can .A. find friends with the same interest and hobbyB. only have a few friends of the same sexC. not make friends with the other sexD. not fall in love with other students easily10. What does the underlined sentence probably mean?A. Don’t get into the habit of early love.B. Don’t be addicted to early love.C. Don’t be trapped in early love.D. Don’t be confused by early love.11. The main idea of the passage is to .A. tell students to keep away from early loveB. give some advice on how to associate between boys and girlsC. tell students how to make friendsD. teach boys how to talk with girlsDTwelve years ago, I arrived in Central Florida from Puerto Rico. I had heard of a job opportunity and decided to pursue it, but it never became a reality. I quickly learned that being alone without resources in an unfamiliar city was not a comfortable situation to be in.Once my limited funds ran out I became homeless and spent a year and a half living on the streets of Orlando. Apart from feeling not being noticed and missing my family, I had to face another challenge—hunger.For the first time in my life, I, as a foreign man, who had lived my life in the relative comfort of the middle class, understood the frustration someone feels when they don’t get enough to eat. I clearly remembered having run a distance of more than 7 miles on many occasions just to make it to a local feeding program before they closed at 7 pm.Once the need for food was met, the next challenge would arise—where to find a place to sleep for the night. Fortunately, local programs like the Coalition for the Homeless, Second Harvest Food Bank and the Wayne Densch Center were an important part of my ability to survive my painful experience.With the help of these programs, I was accepted by a college scholarship program through the Coalition and obtained two degrees from Valencia.My experience has helped me understand that devoting my life to helping others offers lasting rewards. Today, I am employed as Childhood Hunger Programs Managerat Second Harvest Food Bank and oversee the summer feeding, Hi-Five Kids Pack, and Kids Café programs. I am so proud to be able to distribute food resources to those wonderful programs and help hundreds more like me.12. What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?A. The author wouldn’t go to Central Florida again.B. The author felt hopeless in Central Florida at that time.C. Florida was not a good place for people living there at that time.D. People like to live with friends in a familiar city.13. Why did the author run a distance of over 7 miles on many occasions?A. Because he didn’t want to be late for work there.B. Because he desired to get some food to eat.C. Because he went there to help the poor.D. Because he helped distribute food resources to the poor.14. Before being accepted by a college scholarship program, the author .A. had lived with his relatives happilyB. had won his degree in a universityC. had been struggling financiallyD. had lost hope of facing the future15. From his experience, the author learns that .A. people can learn a lesson from difficultiesB. people may suffer a lot in an unfamiliar cityC. people should not give up even in troubleD. people might be rewarded if they’re kind to others第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的（A、B、C、D、E、F、G）选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

I feelthere are a number of reasons for this.Somepeople blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fattyfoods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. Thishas turned outa whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If therewere fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy lesstake-away food.There isanother argument that blames parents for allowing their children to becomeoverweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life,long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are givenfried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed tochoose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, andthis will carry on throughout their lives.There is athird reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise.They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of thetelevision or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthypastime （消遣）, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthyfood. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.The aboveare the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage youngpeople to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast foodshops and bad eating habits.（1）According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?A . Those who often do sports.B . Those who often walk to school.C . Those who often watch television.D . Those who often have meals at home （2）What does the underlined word “steering” in the last sentence most probably means?A . MovingB . Forcing.C . DrivingD . Guiding.（3）The main purpose of the text is to ____.A . tell a storyB . provide factsC . give adviceD . compare opinions3. 阅读理解One of the most famous buildings in theUnited States is Carnegie Hall, the home of classical and popular musicconcerts in New York.

Teenagers agree that itteaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managingtheir money.Some research has shownthat not taking part-time job could bedetrimentalto a person later on. A 2015 study by the UK Commission on Employment andSkills found that not taking part-time work at school age had been blamed byemployers’ organizations for young adults being ill-prepared for full-timeemployment. However, recent studies have still shown that the number ofschoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the pastfive years.So, does this mean that British teenagers arenow more afraid of hard work?Probably not. Young people feel that going out to work will affect theirperformance at school, and they are under more pressure now to study hard andget good exam results — and a good job in the long term. However, Geoff Barton,general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, told BBCNews that ‘‘Properly regulated part-time work is a good way of helping youngpeople learn skills that they will need in their working lives.’’ In reality,it’s all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work andhaving enough time to study and rest.（1）Which is the advantage of having part-time jobs?A . Learning useful lessons.B . Spending money at will.C . Living independently.D . Making some money.（2）What does the underlined word ‘‘detrimental’’ probably mean?A . Careful.B . Helpful.C . Faithful.D . Harmful.（3）From the passage, in UK we know .A . hard work is not fit for teenagersB . a girl aged 10 is not allowed to workC . a fifth children have taken part-time jobsD . working benefits teens’performance at school（4）What is Geoff Barton’s opini on?A . Learning some necessary working skills.B . Keeping a balance between study and rest.C . Having as many part-time jobs as possible.D . Focusing on teenagers’ achievements at school.3. 阅读理解Who is Li Ziqi? For 7million watchers on YouTube and 20 million micro bloggers on Sina Weibo, that’san easy question to answer. She holds an account on each of the two platforms,and uploads her videos about the detailed cooking processes of various kinds oftraditional Chinese food.Li is a craftsperson in arural area of Southwest China’s Sichuan province. Different from others, she isfond of showing the whole process from the field to the table. For example, inher video about spicy tofu, she starts with harvesting the soy beans, grindingthem into powder and making tofu, and then cooks it. Her works also includebuilding a homemade oven to bake bread.Like the rest of us, Li wasprobably not born with skills to create the things we see in her videos, butshe uses everything and everybody around her as a teacher. Li never attendedcollege, but she shows us how useful self-learning can be in an age of plentyof learning resources.Li lets the world see oneof the most important aspects of the Chinese people, how they live their dailylives. She lets the world know that Chinese people love good food and are goodat making art out of even simple raw materials, which have caught the hearts ofher global audience.Moreover, Li’s charmingvideos show the simple joys of country living, which she can improve by usingher head, heart and hands. While others become the product of theirenvironment, she turns her surroundings into her product. Others see problemsand feel frustrated, while Li goes and fixes them.

But to improve our linguistic skills, many of us have tostand hours of school lessons or evening classes, with our heads buried intextb ooks. It’s no wonder thattechnology appears to be providing a better andmore accessible way of learning.There is certainly a hugedemand for language learning, and having a smart phone means you can have avirtual teacher with you wherever you go. Many app developers are keen to cashin on the demand, and there are numerous learning apps available—including ourown, free, BBC Learning English app!Some educational apps offerlanguages not popular enough to be taught at evening classes, or at mostuniversitie s. And others offer “invented” language courses inEsperanto, Elvish and Star Trek’s Klingon— lessons you might not find in atraditional classroom.Whatever you want to learn,apps allow you to go at your own pace and fit learning around othercommitments. B ut they’re not perfect— you might not get your head round thegrammar and will lack the peer support you get in a classroom environment.So, does technology takethe place of the end of traditional classrooms and teachers? Guy Baron, head ofmodern languages at Aberystwyth University, thinks not. He told the BBC thatapps should be used alongside classroom methods, not to remove traditionalteaching. And he adds: “The apps are not designed for degrees, but theycould be additional resources.”Certainly technology isgoing to help in and outside the classroom. But attending a real lesson, facinga real teacher, probably forces you to be more involved.（1）Which of the following statements is true?A . Smart phones must be used in language classes.B . Everyone has to bear to stay in classrooms all day.C . Learning another language helps improve technology.D . Language learners have more chances to be employed.（2）What can you do by learning on apps?A . Studying on your own schedule.B . Learning all the popular languages.C . Becoming a master of grammar easily.D . Having many classmates to study together.（3）What can we infer from the last paragraph?A . Technology will replace teachers.B . We use technology to teach better.C . Real teachers and lessons get us more involved.D . Apps should be popularized in all different classes.（4）What is probably the best title for the passage?A . The Way to Learn with Apps.B . The Advantages of Learning with AppsC . The Choice of Apps or Classroom Learning.D . The Importance of Learning another language.二、任务型阅读（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）5. 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Most researchers may notagree with it. But this spring, experts on health discovered that for some,obesity is “an addictionlike smoking.” One month earlier, a lecture showed that food and drugaddictions have much in common, especially in the way that both damage theparts of the brain involved in pleasure and self-control.Earlier this year, somescientists carried out brain-scan studies on children who looked at pictures ofchocolate milkshakes and later ate themilkshakes. Children who are regular ice-cream eaters may require more and moreice cream for the reward centers of their brains to tellthat they are satisfied.However, meditation andexercise can help the brain to overcome food addiction. Food addicts should look for alternatives that still give pleasure —afruit smoothie, for example, instead of ice cream.Food addiction seems to belinked to the types of foods we’re eating. It’s easier for human body to dealwith foods found in nature, not processedfoods. When a highlyprocessed food is eaten, the body may go uncontrollable.

Even with a smartphone in hand and Internet available, many ofthem still feel helple ss. They don’t know how to call a taxi through the apps.There have been reports of many shops turning away elders who don’t know how topay using smartphones, instead of letting them pay with cash. Worse still, asthey don’t know how to get the Internet-based health code , they are refused to enter many public places. Presentingindividual health code is part of the epidemic prevention and control measures New technologies becomepopular because they are often of great use in our daily lives.

Drinking tea dates as far back as 3,000 BC in China, yet it made its first appearance in England in the mid 17th century.Afternoon tea was introduced in the country by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, in the year 1840. The Duchess would become hungry around four o’clock in the afternoon. The evening meal in her family was usually served late at eight o’clock, thus leaving a long period of time between lunch and dinner. The Duchess asked that a tray（盘）of tea, bread and butter and cakes should be brought to her room during the late afternoon. This became a habit of hers and she began inviting friends to join her.Traditional afternoon tea is made up of a choice of nice sandwiches, scones served with cream and jam. Cakes and pastries are also served. Tea grown in India or Ceylon is poured（倾倒）from silver teapots into bone china cups.Nowadays, however, in the average suburban home, afternoon tea is likely to be just a biscuit or small cake and a cup of tea, usually produced using a teabag.For those hoping to try an afternoon tea, there are many tea rooms upand down the country. The UK has a variety of holiday destinations, and whether you choose a stay in the villages of Yorkshire or the coastal resorts of the south, afternoon tea is never far away.（1）When did tea first appear in England?A . In 3,000 BC .B . In 1840.C . In the mid 17th century.D .

This has not been attempted since NASA’s Apollo moon landings about 45 years ago. In the news conference, Elon Musk. SpaceX founder said two people have already pai d SpaceX a “wonderful” amount of money to send them on a weeklong flight just beyond the moon.（II）Exercise reduces the risks of dying from all causes, including cancer and heart disease. But many people who work all week have little time for exercise. They try to take exercise or do chores to increase their heart rates over the weekend. A new study suggests that it is healthy to do that, which canreduce their risk of cancer and cardiovascular（心血管疾病）disease.（III）Scientists in London have found a possible way to solve the problem of plastic bottle waste. They have made a water bottle you can eat. The product is called Ooho, made of seaweed, a plant that grows in the ocean. Oohos are tasteless and look like bubbles or balls. They can hold water or any other liquid （液体）inside. When people drink Oohos, the outside bursts in the mouth and can be eaten. Even if you throw it away, it will degrade in about four weeks.

Our eyelashes and eyelids use reflex actions to close when danger comes near.

When our eyes and brain notice something that might be dangerous, they use lightening fast reflexes to close.________.Hair________This is a kind of body amour that is very useful, since the sun shines down on our heads all day.
