The special book is called Bookniture. It can be unfolded to become a chair or a small table. People can either carry it around for a portable(轻便的) chair or can store it in their homes to use as extra furniture.The book was designed by Mike Mak. He came up with the idea after never having enough seats for his friends in his home in Hong Kong.“I love having friends at my place, but I have never had enough seats for everyone—we would always end up with just sitting on the floor. I really want a seat that doesn't take up any floor space when I don't need it. One day, the empty space on my bookcase drew my attention. Then came the new idea—Bookniture, furniture hidden in a book,” said the 30-year-old designer.Made from fully-recyclable kraft paper(牛皮纸), the book measures 33 cm by 18 cm. It expands(扩大) to 14 times bigger once it's opened, and can support up to 1,000 kg of weight. It comes in two colors, brown and black, and can be bought for between ￡55 and ￡57.8.The book is special because .A.it can be used as a bag to carry thingsB.it is made from recyclable plasticC.it can hold up to 1,000 kg of weightD.it can be changed into a chair or a table9.Paragraph 3 is about .A.how Mike came up with the ideaB.who designed BooknitureC.what Bookniture looks likeD.why Mike has so many friends10.What information can we learn about Bookniture from the last paragraph?①size②color③weight④price⑤materialA.①②③④B.①②④⑤C.①③④⑤D.①②③④⑤11.What can be the best title for this passage?A.Mike MakB.FurnitureC.BooknitureD.BooksellerDShe is everything you would hope a hero to be.

Diana feels a great need to help save the world because she can't just stand by while innocent lives are suffering. So she decides to leave her homeland to join Steve to try to end the war.In Wonder Women, the battle scenes are a visual treat(视觉盛宴) for the audience, with Diana fighting with her sword and shield and tossing around some enemies with her golden Lasso of Truth(真言套索).What is the whole story behind this DC Comic's greatest heroine?

It is not as crowded in Australia, so people can live in houses that have front and back yards. I always enjoyed playing on the grass in the front yard.Each weekday morning I would wake up at about 7 a.m. and get ready for school. My favourite cereal(谷物) was called Weet-Bix. I often ate nine or ten Weet-Bix to copy my favourite sports stars that I saw on TV!As well as playing sports, I also played the saxophone. Some mornings I went to school early for band practice and played my saxophone, before classes started at 8:30 a.m. English and PE were my favourite subjects at school. My friends and I played tag(捉人游戏) or handball during our lunch breaks.School finished at 3 p.m. After that I would usually go to sports training. In summer I played cricket and in winter I played hockey. Sometimes I played tennis too!When I finally got home I was very tired. For a special treat, my mother sometimes cooked my favouritemeal: apricot(杏子) chicken! Then I did my homework and read a book.

She enjoyed being with them because she could talk as much as she liked.After many years, the pond became very low in a dry season and finally it dried up. The two ducks decided to fly to another place. They went to say goodbye to the tortoise.“Oh, don't leave me behind!” begged(恳求) the tortoise. “Take me with you. I must die if I am left here.”“” said the ducks. “How can we take you with us?”Finally, the ducks had a nice idea. They said, “We will each take hold of one end of a stick, and you take the middle in your mouth. Then we will fly up in the air and carry you with us. But remember not to talk! If you open your mouth, you'll be lost.”The tortoise said she would not say a word.When they were above the treetops, the tortoise wanted to say, “How high we are!” But she remembered what the ducks said and kept still. When they passed the church(教堂), she wanted to say, “What is that which shines?” But she remembered what the ducks said and held her peace. Then they came over the village square. Many people looked up and shouted, “Look! The ducks are carrying a tortoise!”The tortoise forgot everything and said, “Hush, you silly people! It's none of your business.” She opened her mouth and fell to the ground. And that was the end of the tortoise.8.Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph 4?A.But you cannot fly.B.It's a long story.C.Don't be so sad!D.We'll come back soon.9.What do you think of the two ducks?zy.B.Silly.C.Helpful.D.Humorous.10.Which of the following is the RIGHT order according to the story?①They flew over the village square.②They flew above the treetops.③The tortoise opened her mouth and fell to the ground.④They passed the church.A.①②③④B.①③④②C.②①④③D.②④①③11.What does the writer mainly want to tell us?A.We should not help people like the tortoise.B.It is a very good thing to be able to keep silent.C.The people at the village square are really silly.D.What others think of you is none of your business.DStill in shock! I moved around the house purposelessly trying to decide what to put into the suitcases(行李箱). Earlier that evening, I'd received a call telling me that my brother was killed in a car crash. “Come as soon as you can,” cried my mother.I wanted to hurry to her at once. But my husband, Larry, and I were packing to move from New York to Seattle. Our house was in total mess. Supper dishes sat on the kitchen table. Toys lay everywhere. I purposelessly picked things up and put them down. Mother's crying went through my head again and again.Larry called some friends to tell them what had happened. Someone asked to speak to me. “If there's anything I can do, let me know.” But I didn't know what to ask for.Suddenly, the doorbell rang. It was Emerson. He and his wife Donna lived in the block nearby.“I've come to clean your shoes,” he said.I asked him to repeat.“Donna had to stay with the baby,” he said, “but we want to help you. I remember when my father died, it took me hours to clean our shoes for the funeral(葬礼). Give me all your shoes.”I gathered all our dirty shoes to the kitchen. Emerson got to work right away. Watching him devoting himself to one task helped me pull my own thoughts into order. I told myself to wash clothes first. Then, Larry and I bathed the children and put them to bed. One job after another.When we returned to clear the dishes, Emerson had left. All our shoes stood in a line against the wall,clean, shining. I couldn't help crying. Early next morning, we left for the airport with all the jobs done.Now whenever I hear of a friend who's lost a loved one, I no longer call with the polite offer, “If there's anything I can do…” Instead I try to think of one specific task that suits that man's need, like taking the dog to the boarding kennel, or house-sitting during the funeral. If the person asks, “How did you know I needed that done?” I reply, “Because a man once cleaned my shoes.”12.The writer didn't know what to put into the suitcases because .A.she couldn't do it on her ownB.she was too sad to do anythingC.she wanted to take everything to SeattleD.she was not good at housework13.Here's a time line of what happened in the story.The writer's brother was killed in a car crash.→→The writer washed the clothes.→They left for the airport. Which of the events should go in the empty box above?A.Emerson came to clean the shoes.B.The couple bathed the children.C.They cleared the supper dishes.D.The writer found the shoes cleaned.14.If one of her friends has lost a loved one, what will the writer probably NOT do?A.Call her friend to ask what she can do.B.Look after her friend's young children.C.Take her friend's dog to the boarding kennel.D.Offer her friend house-sitting during the funeral.15.Which sentence best expresses the theme of this story?A.One person's loss is another's gain.B.An act of kindness is often rewarded.C.A near neighbour is better than a brother far off.D.Do something specific to help those in need.参考答案A [主旨大意] 本文是一篇应用文。

Each day they are carefully planned by mission(任务) control. The 12-hour working day on the International Space Station(ISS) begins with a wake-up call. After a quick wash with a wet cloth, the crew(全体乘务员) have breakfast and run through the jobs for the day.Space stations are like large houses that need much care and attention. Much of the crew's time is spent preparing and carrying out scientific experiments.At least two hours each day is spent on exercise. It is necessary to keep the crew healthy. In some ways, living in a space station is like being on a desert island. A crew of two or three astronauts has to survive far from home for weeks or months.If their mission is to be a success, they have to learn to live and work together as a team. Crew members have to learn to share jobs such as cleaning and repairs. They also have to talk about problems and discuss how to deal with them.Astronauts first feel the influence of weightlessness(失重) when the rocket engines are turned off. Straight away, they begin to float(漂浮), held down only by seat belts. Weightlessness allows astronauts to appear super strong. They can lift objects that would be far too heavy to move on the earth.Without the influence of gravity(重力), astronauts become weak. To stay fit, they have to exercise several hours each day. In a space station, there is no up or down. There is no difference between afloor and a ceiling(天花板). This can make astronauts feel sick until they get used to this strange environment.4.Astronauts on the International Space Station work for hours every day.A.8B.10C.11D.125.What is the crew's time mainly used for?A.Exercising.B.Doing scientific experiments.C.Reading.D.Connecting with the ground.6.Which of the following is TRUE?A.Astronauts need to work as a team.B.Weightlessness makes astronauts become strong.C.There are up and down in a space station.D.Astronauts exercise one hour each day.7.What's the best title for the passage?A.Astronauts' Lives in the Space StationB.The Influence of WeightlessnessC.How to Live in the Space StationD.How to Exercise in the Space StationCAmerican schools are different from those in China. In America, at the beginning of the term, students must choose their courses and teachers first. While in China, students usually have no chances to choose their courses and teachers.Selecting(选择) is very important for students in America. So at the first term, don't select too many courses, or you'll feel very nervous and it may influence your study. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, time planning, marks and textbooks. At thesame time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers have different teaching methods. If the teacher is called “killer” by the last grade, many students will give up choosing him. Because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades.There is another thing after you select the course and the teacher. How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library. You must get ready before class. In class, discussing is very important. The teacher encourages students to ask questions or show their ideas. They don't usually ask you to sit well. Instead they allow you to sit or stand everywhere you like. They don't give you much homework to do. You can learn some knowledge and do exercises by yourself. So in American schools, you must do almost all things yourself.8.You'd better not select too many courses at the first term because .A.you will feel worriedB.there is not enough timeC.teachers always give too much homeworkD.some subjects are too difficult9.Which of the following is NOT true about a “killer”?A.Leave too much homework.B.Give too low grades in the exam.C.Always be late for class.D.Give too many exams.10.Which of the following is NOT true?A.The textbooks are always very expensive in America.B.Some students borrow textbooks from the school library to save money.C.The teacher encourages students to discuss in class.D.Students must take their own seats in class.11.What's the best title of the passage?A.The Wonderful American ClassB.The Difference between American and Chinese SchoolsC.The Study Method of American StudentsD.Teachers Play an Important Role in AmericanSchoolsDOn Miriam Gardsbane's 9th birthday two years ago, her aunt gave money to a group that cares for elephants. The woman, who lives in Kenya, told the group she was giving the money to celebrate Miriam's birthday. Miriam and her mother then visited Africa to learn how that money was helping to support elephants. Miriam fell in love with the animals and wanted to help save them.A few months after visiting Africa, Miriam watched How I Became an Elephant, a documentary about the mistreatment of elephants in Thailand, and a young girl's campaign to save them. Miriam decided to make her own effort to raise money to save elephants.Last year, Miriam created a group called They Deserve to Be Free after seeing a programme that showed young elephants being mistreated in Thailand.She asked her friends to give money to the park rather than giving her birthday gifts. She made and sold baked goods, and made signs about elephant abuse.She also created a plan to make and sell clay elephants. She asked her art teacher to help her make the elephants.Miriam says she is lucky because her mother and her art teacher support her. Her father says Miriam is serious about helping the animals.

Fortunately, when she was taken out of the water, she opened her eyes slowly.Anderson said his daughter fell off the bank while he was checking his camera.

They may wash the dishes, put laundry away or take out the trash. In return, some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games.But some people don't think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Susie Walton, a parenting educator(育儿教育家) and family coach. She believes if kids get rewards, they will think thatwork isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. For example, kids won't sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will clean the floor if their parents reward them for it.“Every house is a team effort,” Walton said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have a responsibility to keep our home clean.”Other people hold different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards encourage kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn about how we need to work to make money.Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital(数字的)gifts that can be used either online or in life.With the app ChoreMonster, kids can get digital points after doing chores. Kids can exchange their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall.“Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards, ” says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive power to make them do chores.”8.
