The first computer was made in 1946. It was very big but it worked slowly. Today computers are getting smaller and smaller. But they work faster and faster. What can computers do? A writer has said, “People can’t live without computers today.”The Internet came a little later than computers. It is about twenty-five years later than computers. But now it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books, write letters, do shopping, play games or make friends.Many students like the Internet very much. They often go into the Internet as soon as they are free. They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends. They don’t know their real names and ages. They are so interested in making the “unreal friends” that they can’t put their heart into study. Many of them can’t catch up with others on many subjects because of that.We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world. But at the same time, we should remember that computers and the Internet could not do all the things.5.

The volunteers' primary responsibility is to help people with learning disabilities ______.A. to get some financial supportB. to properly protect themselvesC. to learn some new living skillsD. to realize their own importanceDEnglish is a very interesting language. It has borrowed words from many other languages. Immigrants(移民) coming into the United States have contributed many words to the language, which have kept their original pronunciation. “Coolie” and “kowtow” were taken from the Chinese language, “kamikaze from the Japanese, “shampoo” from India, “blitz” from German, “amigo” and “Los Angeles” from Spanish and so on.Many students have studied English for years, some as many as eight. However, some students still have difficulty in speaking fluent English. Some know many words but are unable to discern them when native speakers use them. In our Oral English classes we will focus on speaking and listening to native English speakers. For this reason, because we are trying to train your ears to hear English and your mouths to speak intelligible (易理解的) English, we will have a rule that ONLY ENGLISH will be spoken in our English classes. Anyone speaking Chinese in class will be required to pay a fine in order to encourage the speaking and understanding of English. If teachers enter a classroom and discover that anyone is speaking Chinese, they will require everyone in the room to pay the fine. It is everyone’s job to enforce the English-Only rule. It is for your benefit. It is because we want to accustom (使习惯于) your ears to hearing English.Other subjects may be learned solely from books but the only way to learn a foreign language is to SPEAK IT! Students are often nervous about speaking in class at first but we hope to make the classes fun, so you will forget your nervousness and learn to speak out. Enjoy your classes.12.

As we were leaving, we found that only min utes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was withher, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was em barrassed and clearly in shock.Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset abo ut what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum,it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”At the front of the supermarket a charity(慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flo wers to raise funds.

So we went o ver to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”By now paramedics(救援人员)had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told hi m, “ My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give h er this flower to make her feel better.”At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so m uch, you have a wonderful son.

（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分。

）AIt all started at the beginning of this term. At first, Carmen was n’t really sure what was happening. In class, she had to squint (眯眼) to see the blackboard clearly. As it got worse, she became more and more worried. It was important for her to see the no tes and homework the teacher wrote on the board.In class, she asked for a desk that was closer to the blackboa rd. One day, her teacher said, “Carmen,I’ve noticed you squinting a lot. Are you having trouble seeing the board?” Carmen shook her head. “I’m fine, Mrs. Cruz.”At home, she had to sit closer and closer to the television. Her mother noticed her squinting as she watched her favorite sho ws.“Tomorrow I will go to see a doctor,” she said firmly. Three da ys later, Carmen had new glasses. She was told to wear them all the time. “All of the kids at school will think I’m a nerd (书呆子),” she said. “You look just as beautiful with those glasses o n as you do without them,” her mother said. But Carmen didn’t believe her.The next day, Carmen kept the glasses in her pocket as she walked into the schoolyard. Suddenly, she heard her friend Th eresa shout. “What’s wrong?” she asked.“My silver ring is gone!” Theresa cried. Carmen could tell that Theresa was very upset. They all looked for the ring in the gra ssy area of the playground.Carmen realized that she could search better if she could see better. She took the glasses out of her pocket and put them o n. Everything looked so different! So clear! And a glimmer (微光) of silver caught her eye.“Here it is,” she shouted. “Thanks Carmen,” Theresa said. “I d idn’t know you wore glasses. They look great!”“Thanks,” Car men replied shyly.As they walked back toward the school building, two more girl s praised her glasses. Carmen smiled. “Maybe wearing glass es won’t be so bad after all,” she thought.1. According to the text, Carmen ______.A. doesn’t like doing homeworkB. often tells lies to her teacherC. cares how well she does in lessonsD. has trouble getting along with her classmates2. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A. Other girls expect to have new glasses.B. Carmen will get used to wearing glasses.C. Wearing glasses will make Carmen look beautiful.D. Carmen hopes to receive more comments on her glasses.3. The purpose of the text is to tell readers ______.A. how to protect their eyesB. never to make fun of othersC. things aren’t always as bad as we expectD. it is necessary to give a hand to those in troubleBOne afternoon Peter and Jim went out for a bicycle ride. Whe n they passed a place they saw a large area of grass and bus hes on fire and a strong wind was blowing the flames towards a village. The firemen had already arrived and were trying to put out the fire. The boys left their bicycles and ran towards th e village to see if they could help to fight the fire. On the way t hey met two firemen.“Quick, you boys,” said one of the firemen. “Come and help u s to pull a pump (泵) to the stream. We can’t beat out the fire. The wind is too strong. The pump is our only hope.”The two boys ran further until they came to a heavy pump. Th ey helped to pull it to a stream not far from the village.Soon the pump was working well so the boys went to watch th e fire. It had already reached the edge of the village. The boys saw that two houses were on fire, and the flames were attack ing a third building. Suddenly there was a shout from one of th e villagers.“Keep away!” a voice shouted. “There’s paint stored in that bu ilding.” The boys and villagers moved away quickly. With a lou d explosion (爆炸), the whole building burst into flames, sending clouds of thick black smoke into the sky.At this time Peter and Jim began to think that the whole villag e would be burnt to the ground. The firemen had left the burni ng buildings and were pouring (浇) water onto the neighboring houses, trying to stop the fire from spreading. Then the wind died down. A second pump was brought up to help, and the fir e was gradually put out.“It’s soon finished,” Peter said to his friend. “We must go or w e shall get home late.”“Yes, come on,” agreed Jim, and witha last look at the ruins, they walked back to their bicycles.4. Seeing the fire, the boys ran to the village to _____.A. watch itB. ask for helpC. help the firemenD. warn the villagers5. The villagers were told to keep away from the fire mainly be cause _____.A. their help was unnecessaryB. it was spreading very rapi dlyC. two burning buildings were falling downD. one of the buildings stored a lot of paint6.

According to the text, _____.A. no one knew how the fire broke outB. two pumps were used to put out the fireC. two buildings were burnt down during the fireD. the boys didn’t leave until the fire was put outCScientists in Colombia have trained a team of rats to help rem ove land mines from the countryside. Land mines are small b ombs (炸弹) hidden in the ground and designed to explode when some one steps on them.When trained, the rats can smell special metals in the mines a nd then signal to their human team. Then why use rats for suc h an important job?In the past, dogs have been used to find bombs. Rats have a good sense of smell and can respond to orders, just like dogs do. But rats are much lighter than dogs. They stand less of a chance of setting off the mines, which explode under a certain amount of weight. What’s more, the best rats are cheaper to keep than dogs. It costs about the same amount of money to t ake care of one dog as it does 70 rats.The rats have already been used in Tanzania, an African cou ntry with many land mines. Luisa Fernanda Méndez and her t eam in Colombia are training the even lighter Wistar rats. The se are the white rats with red eyes that scientists often use in l aboratory experiments. “They even train their babies to perfor m their jobs, which saves us a lot of time,”Méndez said. Colombia has the second-highest rate (比率) of deaths from land mine accidents in the world. Last year, land mines killed 695 people — 56 of whom were children. A criminal (犯罪的) group called the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia , or FARC, as well as other organizations, have placed the mi nes. FARC are strongly against Colombia’s government.

Now imagine riding in an elevator higher and h igher as it climbs for nearly a day. When you reach the top floor, prepare for views that are really out of this world. You’ll be in space!Space elevators might sound like a crazy idea, but they’re so mething scientists have been working on for decades.Why would anyone want a space elevator? At the moment, rid ing in a capsule is the only way ordinary people can get to and from space. But those rides are very expensive — about $25 million per person per flight. Now scientists are making effo rts to reduce the expense of those rides.Researchers are still figuring out the details about how a spac e elevator might work. One idea is stretching (伸展) a very long cable（绳索）— more than 37,000 kilometers — up to space from the earth’s equator (赤道). The location is important: Objects in space above the equ ator orbit (绕……的轨道飞行) the earth at the same speed that our planet turns. A weigh t on the end of the cable would stretch it tight. An elevator tied to the cable could use it to climb up and down.The only problem is that besides being long, this cable must a lso be very strong. Storms, including hurricanes might break it . One way to solve this problem is to stretch the cable from th e moon instead of from the earth. Airplanes designed to climb higher than a typical jet might take off from the earth and link up with the cable, which would be held in place by the pull of gravity from the earth. An elevator car waiting there would the n take riders the rest of the way to the moon. Fueled by solar power, the elevator could transport people and materials with out much expense or effort per ride.So, when will you be taking your first space-elevator ride? Probably not for a while.12. The first paragraph is presented by _____.A. giving an exampleB. making a comparisonC. asking questionsD. analyzing causes13. Why have scientists been working on space elevators?A. To make trips to space cheaper.B. To help astronauts do research in space.C. To find a more convenient way to the moon.D. To prove an assumption which seems crazy.14. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to _____.A. the cableB. the equatorC. an object in spaceD. a weight on the end of the cable15. What may make the cable stay in place on the moon?A. The elevator car on the moon.B. The elevator fastened to the cable.C. The pull of gravity from the earth.D. The speed of the moon orbiting the earth.第二节: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。

It was a product of the Yangshao Culture that existed along the Yellow River in China, made at the dawn of the Neolithic era, when humans began to polish stone, domesticate(驯养) animals, farm and form tribes.It’s hard to tell the gender of the figure, but the up-turned lips suggest the innocence of a child. On the back is a spout, through which liquid could be poured inside. The eyes and mouth serve as outlets. They seem improbably narrow, but this may indicate that the jar served some special purpose.Eagle-Shaped Pottery DingCollection: National Museum of China Period: Neolithic eraPottery is the art of bringing clay to life. Here, the clay is given life as a ding --- athree-legged vessel.The ding in the form of an eagle is among China’s most unusual pieces of ancient pottery. It’s 6,000 years old, originating in the Neolithic Yangshao Culture. Most of the painted pottery vessels produced by the Yangshao Culture were for daily use. The eagle-shaped ding is the only piece from that Period that’s in the shape of a bird.What was its purpose? Perhaps to store water, or grain? But why was it given the form of a bird? Such questions add to the fascination the ding evokes(引起).Hongshan Culture C-Shaped Jade(⼆) DragonCollection: Ongniud Banner Museum Period: Neolithic eraThis mysterious work of jade art was discovered in Ongniud Banner in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia autonomous region. The design is simple and elegant; the jade, fine and smooth. Known as the “First Dragon of China”, it is regarded as the ancient description of a dragon. It was here, in the Liaohe River Basin that the Hongshan Culture originated around 5,000 years ago. The image of the jade dragon-boar has become a symbol of the Hongshan Culture.The dragon is the symbol of the Chinese nation: Every aspect of the life of every Chinese person is like a scale on the dragon’s body. Together, these scales shape Chinese civilization.56.W hich of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The Hongshan Culture existed along the Yellow River in China.B.P eople liked to used the sharp od bird in the Yangshao CultureC.These three were all used for people’s daily life during ancient times.D.Jade dragon is made by different material from the othertwo. 57.Where can we probably find this passage?A.In a storybookB.In a travel bookletC.I n an art magazineD.In an entertainment programB 篇A hospital has been forced to ban Pokemon Go players from the site after a monster hub was found in the A&E department. Royal Stoke University Hospital discovered that its casualty unit(急诊室) is on the same spot as a Pokemon Go‘gym’——where players can train their newly caught Nintendo creatures.The University Hospitals of North Midlands Trust agreed last week that patients can play Pokemon Go on wards（病房）because walking around is healthy. But the Trust has been forced to post a warning on its website about public access to A&E. It said if Pokemon Go becomes a major annoyance it would ask Nintendo——which decides on the locations of the virtual gyms according using GPS——to have it removed from the premises(道馆).Kevin Parker,associate chief nurse,said,“Members of the public who do not need to be at Royal Stoke shouldnot attempt to enter A&E or any other part of the hospital building to play the game. The A&E department is incredibly busy this summer. We want the public to understand that anybody who visits the hospital solely to playthe game will provide an unwanted distraction to the important work of the hospital.I’m also aware of various reportsin the media of unsafe areas that the game has been played in.”“Royal Stoke University Hospital is a safe area where gamers can enjoy Pokemon Go.”Michelle Harris, the Trust’s manager,said the game could still be played by those already in hospital.“We recognize that the Pokemon Go game encourages walking and exercise,which is something that the Trust is equally keen topromote,”she said.There are a number of“walking routes”established throughout the Trust that can be used to combine walking and playing the game.“Walking just30minutes,five times a week,can help reduce the risk of preventable illnesses such as obesity,diabetes,and heart disease.”There have been several warnings about the game since its UK release. Last week a group of teenagers in Wiltshire were left stranded almost 100ft underground after they got carried away searching for Pokemon Go characters. The four boys, aged 16 and 17, ended up getting lost and had to wait to get a phone signal before they could call for help. Eventually, they contacted Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue team, who took them to safety.Damien Bence,of the fire and rescue team,said:“Pokemon Go is obviously leading people into dangerous situations.”58.It seems that Pokemon Go is a game .A.designed to help patients in hospital recover soonerB.helping cure such diseases as obesity, diabetes and heart diseaseC.encouraging players to walk and exercise instead of staying indoorsD.warning teenagers of the places easy to get lost or attacked59.The A&E department is incredibly busy because .A.more patients’arrival increases the workload of the A&E departmentB.doctors’playing the game makes the A&E department less efficientC.players’injury increases the workload of the A&E departmentD.players’arrival disturbs the work of the A&E department60.The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means .A. hurtB. disturbedC. trappedD. threatened61.The passage is mainly about .A.the popularity of Pokemon Go since its UK releaseB.the negative effects of Pokemon Go since its UK releaseC.the applications of Pokemon Go in hospitals since its UK releaseD.the establishment of Pokemon Go virtual gyms since its UK releaseC 篇Can Science Explain Why We Cry?There’s a lot scientists don't know—or cant agree on—about people who cry. Charles Darwin once declared emotional tears “purposeless”, and nearly 150 years later, emotional crying remains one of the human body's more confounding mysteries. Though some other species shed tears as a result of pain or irritation, humans are the only creatures whose tears can be triggered by their feelings. But why?Researchers have generally focused their attention more on emotions than on physiological processes that appear to be their by-products. “Scientists are not interested in the butterflies in our stomach, but in love,” writes Ad Vingerhoets, a professor at Tilburg University in the Netherlands and the world’s foremost expert on crying, in his book Why Only Humans Weep.But crying is more than a symptom of sadness, as Vingerhoets and others are showing it's triggered by a range of feelings—from empathy and surprise to anger and grief—and unlike those butterflies that flap around invisibly, when we're in love, tears are a signal that others can see.Evidence is mounting in support of some new, more plausible theories. One such theory is that tears trigger social bonding and human connection. We cry from a very early age in order to bring about a connection with others, humans come into the world physically unequipped to deal with anything on their own.New research is also showing that tears appear to elicit a response in other people that mere distress does not In a study published in February 2016, researchers found that tears activate compassion. When test subjects were shown a photograph of someone visibly crying, compared with the same photo with the tears digitally removed, they were much more likely to want to reach out and reported feeling more connected to that person.Scientists have found some evidence that emotional tears are chemically different from the ones people shed while chopping onions. In addition to the enzymes, lipids metabolites and electrolytes that make up any tears, emotional tears contain more protein. One hypothesis is that this higher protein content makes emotional tears more viscous, so they stick to the skin more strongly and run down the face more slowly, making them more likely to be seen by others.Tears show others that we are weak and weakness is important to human connection. “The same neuronal areas of the brain are activated by seeing someone emotionally aroused as being emotionally aroused oneself,” says Michael Trimble, a behavioral neurologist at University College London. “There must have been some point in time, evolutionarily, when the tear became some thing that automatically set off empathy and compassion in another.”A less heartwarming theory focuses on crying 's ability to manipulate others. Researchers believe that just as babies use tears as a tool for Getting what they need, so do adults—whether they re aware of it or not. “We learn early on that...crying can relieve anger very powerfully,”says Rottenberg, which is part of the reason he thinks tears are so integral to fights between lovers— particularly when someone feels guilty and wants the other person’s forgiveness.62.What can be inferred from the passage?A.People who cry are easy to make social connections.B.People are unwilling to help those who are crying.C.People who cry are good at taking advantage of others.D.People whose tears contain more protein are easily hurt.63.What does the underlined word “viscous” i n paragraph 6 probably mean?A. VisibleB. ConfusingC. StickyD. Embarrassing64.Which of the following can be Michael Trimble’s opinion?A.Tears have the ability to take control of others.B.People cry to arouse empathy and compassion.C.People cry simply because they have emotional needs.D.Crying is helpful to draw other people’s attention.65.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To show what tears are.B.To discuss whether crying matters.C.To explain how mysterious crying is.D.To add to the theories on people’s crying.第四部分：任务型阅读（共10 小题：每小题1 分，满分10 分）请认真阅读下面短⼆，并根据所读内容在⼆章后表格中的空格里填⼆⼆个最恰当的单词，注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应的题号的横线上。

Usually she demanded that I sit at the table for dinner, go to bed at nine, and regularly clean my room. And I usually resisted(抗拒) doing what my mom wanted me to do. I was so eager for my independence that I built walls about a mile high in every direction.Something in college, when distance gave me the space the walls had meant to create, I began to take them down brick by brick. Throughout my twenties, we were moving toward each other from opposite direction. Actually I was the slow one and my mom was waiting patiently, as she always had, for something to change.And then, something did change. My dad died. U ntil that happened, I couldn’t imagine anything worse. Besides all the other ways I’d miss him, what would it be like at home? What would my mom and I do? What would we have and the same kind of food. My dad had often complained about those things. We also both enjoyed traveling, so we took trips together. Together, we also thought of ways of doing with a lot of my dad’s things. He kept everything. She and I, on the other hand, love to live light.Suddenly I found that I am so much like my mom.

I believed my heart was going to stop. I put my head down and prayed(祈祷), "Dear God, this is an emergency! I need help now! Five minutes from now I'm dead meat!"I looked up from my prayer and there came the teacher with a look in her eyes that said I had been discovered．As the teacher was walking towards me, a classmate named Susie came close to me, carrying a goldfish bowl that was filled with water．Susie fell down in front of the teacher and poured the water in my lap．I pretended to be angry, but all the while was saying to myself, "Thank you．Lord! Thank you．Lord!"Now all of a sudden, instead of being afraid to be laughed at, I was the object of sympathy(同情)．The teacher rushed me downstairs and gave me gym shorts to put on．All the other children were on their hands and knees cleaning up around my desk．The sympathy was wonderful．At the end of the day, as Susie and I were waiting for the bus, I walked to Susie and whispered, "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

AThe old Chinese saying “as happy as spending the New Year” might be outdated now in the busy modern world. The Spring Festival is regarded as the most important festival for Chines e people and an occasion（机会）for all family members to get together, like Christmas in the W est. But many traditional customs accompanying the Spring F estival, however, have weakened in practice.Setting off fireworks was once the most typical custom of the Spring Festival. People thought the sputtering (爆裂) sound could help drive away evil spirits. However, the acti vity has been completely or partially forbidden（禁止）in big cities for years as the government has taken security, n oise and pollution factors into consideration.“As people gain more income and it becomes easier to buy d aily goods, the New Year holiday is just like any other. After long workdays, many people use the New Year holiday to take a rest, rather than visiting friends and neighbors. The process of making and enjoying the family dinner on Spring Festival E ve is the most important thing. However, many families would like to eat out to save time and energy，” said Li Shunzhi, a r esident of Harbin, Heilongjiang.“I enjoy the holidays very much in the countryside. My family has been preparing for the Spring Festival more than two wee ks before the holiday, cleaning the house, buying holiday goo ds and decorating the house with paper cuttings. On New Yea r's Eve, the whole family stays up to see the New Year in, and in the days to follow, a series of activities such as lion dancin g, dragon lantern dancing, lantern festivals and temple fairs wi ll be held. Without the ancient traditions, the holiday is nothing to us，” said Zhang Hui, from Hebei.1. Which of the following is WRONG according to the passag e?A．Setting off fireworks has been forbidden in some big cities for years.B．In the past, setting off fireworks couldn't be seen almost a nywhere.C．Nowadays, people can light fireworks in some cities at the Spring Festival.D．People believe that the sound of fireworks can drive away evil spirits.2．What Li Shunzhi said implies ________.A．the New Year holiday is just like any other day B．people prefer to visit friends and neighbors rather than tak e a restC．people would like to have the family dinner on Spring Fest ival EveD．what people do during the festival now is different from th e past3．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．Zhang Hui lives in the urban area.B．Zhang Hui always takes part in a series of activities after t he Spring Festival.C．Zhang Hui is used to spending the Spring Festival with his family.D．Zhang Hui often spends two weeks preparing for the Spri ng Festival.4．What does the whole passage show?A．The Spring Festival is outdated now.B．The Spring Festival is as lively as before.C．The Spring Festival in is more important than Christmas i n the West.D．The Spring Festival is losing its qualities.BCrossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most peopl e don't even notice that they're doing it when they sit down. W hile you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed o ver the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sit ting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason for this is that the blood in your legs has to work a gainst gravity to be pumped back to your heart and that crossi ng one leg over the other increases resistance, making it eve n harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to in crease your blood pressure to push the blood back to the hea rt. You won't feel any immediate effects, but repeated increas es in blood pressure can cause longterm health issues. So, pl anning to sit for a long period of time? Don't keep your legs cr ossed.“Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on th e major nerve（神经） in your leg that passes just below your knee and along the outside of your leg，” explains Richard Graves, a medical e xpert. This pressure can cause numbness（麻木） and temporary paralysis (暂时的麻痹) of some of the muscles in your foot and leg, preventing yo u from being able to raise your ankle — what we know as that “pins and needles” sensation. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs u ntil they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitt ing with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the lo ng run.5．What can we learn about crossing one's legs?A．It is usually practiced deliberately. B．It can make others f eel uncomfortable.C．It is a very bad social habit. D．It can do harm to peopl e's health.6．According to the study, sitting with your legs crossed can _ _______.A．lead to heart attacks easily B．affect your blood pressur eC．resist gravity effectively D．improve the function of legs7．In the third paragraph “pins and needles” probably means ________.A．serious muscle injuries B．slight sharp pains C．being highly flexible D．being a little tired8．What is the main purpose of the text?A．To evaluate the effects of an experiment. B．To introduc e research methods.C．To compare common habits. D．To give readers s ome advice.CFor years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth’s natural conditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air o utside. It may be one hundred times worse.Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to suffer e ye pain, headache and other problems. Some pollutants（污染物质） can cause breathing disorders, diseases of blood and ev en cancer. Most scientists agree that every modern house ha s some kind of indoor pollution.People have paid more attention to the problem now. It is truethat when builders began making houses and offices they did not waste energy. To do this they build buildings that limited t he flow of air between inside and outside. They also began us ing man-made building materials. These materials are now known to le t out harmful gases.As the problem became more serious, scientists began searc hing for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural polluti on control system for building—green plants. Scientists do not really know how plants control air pollution. They believe that a plant’s leaves absorb（吸收） or take in the pollutants. In exchange the plant lets out o xygen through its leaves and tiny organizations on its roots. S cientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square meters of space. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs diff erent chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is t o use different kinds of plants. Having green plants inside you r house can make it a prettier and more healthy place. Generally speaking, indoor air pollution may be more harmful than the air outside because ______.A．the air indoors is polluted, which is very harmfulB．there may be more harmful gases outside the buildingsC．indoor air pollution can often make people seriously ill D．man-made building materials give off dangerous gases 10.Some kind of indoor pollution can be found in______．Ａ．every modern house B．every old houseC．all kinds of houses D．all kinds of offices11. The indoor air pollution is caused by ______.A．the building things that are made of man-made materials B．the man-made building materials and the limit of air-flow C．the building way that the builders want to save energy D．the limit of the flow of air between inside and outside 12. The reason why we should use different kinds of plants to clean the air is that ______.A．plants can make our houses prettier and more healthy B．plants can absorb some kinds of harmful indoor chemicals C．plants can let out all kinds of pollutants indoors D．plants may take in more oxygen which people needDI come from Malaysia，a beautiful country in the southern part of Asia.Though my co untry is small，yet there are many places of interest that spread throughout the country.In the southernmost(最南端的) part of the country，where the state of Johore lies，there are some very interesting and beautiful places.In Kota T inggi，for example，there are beautiful waterfalls which are visited by many peopl e every day.Then，there is Johore Lama，a place of great historical interest.In Johore Bahru，there is a beautiful beach which is visited daily by several peo ple who love the sea.In Batu Pahat，another town in Johore，is Minyak Buku，an interesting place on the coast.As we go towards the north，we arrive at Malacca(马六甲)，the oldest town that the Europeans occupied in Malaya in the past.The influences of the Portuguese and the Dutch can still be seen in many of the buildings there.Further north lies Port Dickson which is well known for its bea utiful beaches.In Kuala Lumpur，the capital of Malaysia，there are many places of interest such as Batu Caves，the zoo and the museum.The city itself is an interesting place to visit.Another beautiful town is Penang，situated on an island.The sea around it makes it the most beautiful town in the country.Finally，the paddy fields(稻田) in the northernmost part of the country are also very beaut iful and interesting to look at.On the east coast of the country t oo，there are some beautiful towns such as Kuantan and Kuala Tr enganu.All these places have indeed made my country an int eresting place to live in.13．The place where historians are interested in is ________．A．Batu Caves B．Port DicksonC．Johore Lama D． Tinggi14．The author introduces the places of interest of Malaysia _ _______．A．from east to westB．from west to eastC．from north to southD．from south to north15．The author writes this passage mainly to ________．A．introduce some places of interest in his countryB．help visitors find best hotels inC．express his love for his beautiful countryD．tell readers how to get to二．七选五（共五小题，每题2分，共10分）Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situa tion is getting worse, according to the doctors. __16__.Some people blame(责备) the fact that we are surrounded (包围) by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chick en and ice cream, at low prices. __17__， then probably childr en would buy less takeaway food._18__. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin ear ly in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If p arents often give their children fried chicken and chocolate rat her than healthy food, they will go for sweet and salty foods, a nd children will find it hard to get rid of the habit.There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days t ake very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When the y get home, they sit in front of the television or their computer s and play computer games. __19_. What they need is to go o utside and play active games or sports.The above are the main reasons for this problem. _20_， as well as forcing them away from fast food shops and bad eatin g habits.A．Adults are becoming fatter and unhealthier too B．Therefore we have to encourage young people to be more activeC.There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweightD．If there were fewer of these restaurantsE．Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy foodF．It's a good idea to allow children to eat what they choose G．I feel there are a number of reasons for this三．完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
