It is a new flu virus that was first found in April, 2009. This kind of virus can make people ill and is spreading from person-to-person, causing a growing outbreak of illness first in the United States and Mexico. Later, an increasing number of sick people are being reported in many other countries.Why and how the swine flu started in humans is still unknown. The first sick people were found in the U. S. ,but soon it was found out that the new virus had much to do with an earlier outbreak of late-season flu in Mexico. Several days later hundreds of sick people were discovered in Mexico, with more sick people found in the U. S. , Australia, Europe and many other countries as well. The World Health Organization（WHO）worried that it could become a worldwide flu.Although scientists have noticed that the outbreak has not been as serious as those in history, other health officials （官员）worry about what might happen later in the year, saying that “we are not seeing any sign（迹象）of this coming to an end. The flu might be spreading at a crazy speed. The number of sick people is expected to rise as the new flu spreads across the countries.” Besides, the new virus could change its form over the coming months.

It was based on the music called rhythm and blues that was performed by African American musicians.Early rock and roll singers developed their own kinds of music. Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, the Beach Boys, and Bob Dylan were the most popular rock an d roll musicians in the early 1960’s. All were American. Then, in 1964, a new rock and roll group from England invaded America: the Beatles.Some people say the Beatles’ music shook America like an earthquake. The Beatles changed rock and roll forever. The ir early songs were influenced by American rock and roll musicians, including Chuck Berry. But the Beatles looked different and sounded different from any musical group before them.The Beatles released their first album in the United States in 1964, when all of the top five records in America were by the Beatles. In 1967, they released an album called “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.” It was one of the first “concept” albums. That is, all the songs were linked by a common story or idea.The popularity of the Beatles led the way for more rock and roll bands from England to become popular in America. The Rolling Stones was the most important of these bands. The Rolling Stones is one of the few groups from the 1960’s that is still performing and rec ording today. In 1965, the group recorded one of its most famous songs, “Satisfaction”. The musical instrument most linked to rock and roll is the guitar. Experts say Jimi Hendrix was one of the most influential guitar players in rock and roll during the l ate 1960’s. His “Purple Haze” was liked by many people.By the 1970’s, rock and roll music became known as rock music. It expanded into many new forms. For example, there was country rock, hard rock, acid rock, and heavy metal rock. Punk rock, jazz rock, and glitter rock.In the middle 1970’s, experts say rock music regained some of the energy of early rock and roll. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band became popular with their album “Born to Run”. Springsteen’s music was like the lively rock and roll music of the early nineteen-sixties. Many of his songs were about social issues. He sang about the effects of unemployment and the war in Vietnam.1．（小题1）The main topic of this passage is _______.A．the history of American musicB．the famous rock and roll groupsC．the new forms of rock and roll musicD．the development of rock and roll music2．（小题2）Which of the following matches is NOT true?A．the Beatles — Chuck BerryB．the Rolling Stones — SatisfactionC．Jimi Hendrix — Purple HazeD．Bruce Springsteen — Born to Run3．（小题3）Whose songs were mainly about social problems like unemployment and war?A．Elvis Presley’s. B．Bob Dylan’s.C．Jimi Hendrix’s. D．Springsteen’s.4．（小题4）From the passage, we can know that _______.A．one of the Rolling Stones’ albums was called “concept”B．rock and roll music had many different forms at the beginningC．rock and roll music probably came from African American musicD．the Beatles and the Rolling Stones became popular at the same timeC15、Space is a lonely place. Hundreds of thousands of kilometers from home, astronauts have a hard life. It stands to reason that, once in a while, they need to have a good cry. But this is a lot harder than it sounds.We still know very little about space, and about living in zero gravity (重力). In fact, we are discovering new things every time astronauts take to the sky. As The Atlantic reported in January, crying is not all that simple in space. This is because when a person normally cries, gravity makes their tears move downwards. But in a spacecraft, this is not the case. Here, there is no gravity, which is why we so often see pictures of astronauts floating around. This means that, strangely, when you cry, your tears have nowhere to go. As a result, they just stick to your eyes.In May 2011, ast ronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this. “Tears,” as he said, “don’t fall off of your eye...they just kind of stay there.” This can be quite painful. In space, your eyes get very dry, and the added moisture is annoying. Sometimes, things get even unusual. The astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic that when tears get big enough, they “break free of the eye and float around”.No one can be quite sure why we cry. Why should water in our eyes have anything to do with feeling sad? If you stop to think about it, crying is a very strange thing indeed. And now, thanks to the wonders of space, it just got even stranger. 1．What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?A．It’s hard to cry in space.B．It’s easy to feel sad in space.C．Living in space is lonely.D．Nobody wants to live in space.2．What will happen if astronauts cry in a spacecraft?A．The tears will move downwards.B．The tears will stick to their eyes.C．The tears will go out of the window.D．The tears will move upwards.3．What does the underlined word “float” probably mean in this passage?A．静止B．漂浮C．盘旋D．下沉4．How will astronauts feel if tears are always in their eyes?A．Sad. B．Comfortable.C．Happy. D．Uncomfortable.5．What can we learn from the passage?A．Our eyes usually feel very wet in space.B．Gravity makes people’s tears move upwards in space.C．People know about living in zero gravity very well.D．Tears will float around if they are big enough in space.D16、As we know there are many kinds of clubs in the US middle schools. Such as the music club, the sports club, the chess club, the swimming club…. But do you know the homework club? It is a popular(流行的) club in many US middle schools. More and more students spend their afternoons in the homework clubs. The US middle school students need a quiet place to study. But games, computers and TVs are all around kids at home. So the homework club is just for them to do their homework. The club is quiet and it’s good for students to study. Some teachers are there, too. They can answer students’ questi ons and help with their homework. If students finish their homework on time, they will get asnack. It’s always children’s favorite food. Then they can go home and play games or watch TV happily.1．What is the best title(题目) of the passage?A．Clubs in the US middle schoolsB．Students and homeworkC．The homework clubD．Study and hobbies2．The students in the US middle schools can go to the homework club .A．in the morning B．at noonC．in the afternoon D．at night3．The underlined word “snack” means “” in Chinese.A．交通B．零食C．箱子D．蛇4．What can the students do in the homework club?.A．Learn to swim B．Play the guitarC．Watch TV D．Do their homework5．Which is NOT true about the homework club?A．The homework club is popular in the US middle school.B．It’s good for students to study in the homework club.C．The teachers in the homework club can help the students study.D．All the US middle school students like the homework club.E17、A 15-year-old student who invented a flashlight(手电筒) getting power from the holder's body heat is going home today from California with a big prize and a chance to do further research.Ann Makosinski was the only Canadian among the four winners at Google's international science competition. Thousands of young scientists from around the world took part in the competition.Winning the science and technology competition was "a surprise". Ann said, "I think it will have a great influence on my future."Ann thanked her family for encouraging her interest in science and said that her first toy was a box of transistors(晶体管).Ann's prize includes $ 25,000 and a "once in a-lifetime expericnce" from Google for her Hollow Flashlight, which has no moving parts or batteries.The idea for the invention came from seeing unwanted batteries and her friend's experience. When Ann visited a friend in the Philippines, she saw the friend couldn't study when it became dark because there was no electricity or light. She saw the need for a flashlight that has no batteries - Hollow Flashlight.In her project, Ann wrote "I made two flashlights that do not use any batteries or harmful materials. They do not create any noise and will always work. The flashlight needs at least a 5℃ temperature difference between the holder's body and the environment around to produce light."A video of Ann explaining how she creatcd the flashlight has been watched more than 1.4 million times on the Internet. Though Ann was successful, she has not made a decision about her career path. Ann hopes that she can find a way to join her love of film and science together.The four winners were chosen from 15 final competitors from eight countries. The competition attracted thousands of students in 120 countries.1．In which part of a newspaper can we probably read this passage?A．Travel. B．Culture. C．Technology.

Our own planet, Earth, is becoming more and more crowed and polluted. Luckily, we can start again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life could be like.First of all, transport should be much better. At present, our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Mars-it takes months. However, by 2100, spaceship can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars!Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air that we need. However, can these plants produce water for us？There is no answer now.There is a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars pulls us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier.Life on Mars will be better than that on Earth in many ways, People will have more space. Living in allergen building with only 10 bedrooms is highly possible. Many people believe that robot will do most of our work, so we have more time for our hobbies.There will probably be no school on Mars. Every student will have a computer at home which is connected to the internet. They can study, do their homework and take exams in online schools. Each student will also have their own online teacher called "e-teacher".However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today. Food will not be thesame-meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will make many people feel ill. The spaceship will travel fast but the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable. 1．According to the text, by the year 2100, some of us will possibly live _____ .A．on Mars B．on the moonC．under the sea D．in the sun2．So far, how long will it take us from the earth to Mars by spaceship？A．Two or three days B．A few monthsC．A few days D．A few years3．In the future, the students on Mars _____ .A．will study mainly through the internet B．will study mainly in a classroomC．will meet each other face to face every day D．needn't study at all4．Life on Mars will be better than life on the earth because _____ .A．only a few people will live there B．there will be more space and less work to doC．there will be much delicious food D．all students don't need to do any homework5．According to the text, which of the following about Mars is NOT true？A．Transport will be much better and faster.B．We need to develop a special plant which can produce water.C．On Mars, we can jump higher than on the earth.D．Food will be much more tasty.Ⅴ.书面表达19、假如你是李华，作为交换生你去年在美国学习了一学期。

根据句意because both of you are ill at home可知，应选D。

Dear Alan,Guess what? I have a chance to choose my new place to live! I'm excited and a little nervous. Could you please give me some help?I'm not sure whether I should live in a house or in an apartment. On one hand, a house will be too big for just one person, so maybe I should rent an apartment. On the other hand, if I rent a house, I could find someone else to share with me. The only problem is that a house full of people might be too noisy for me. I prefer to have my own space. The city has some nice apartments, but they are also too expensive. However, if I could find a two-bedroom apartment and get a roommate, that would make it more affordable. I just need to search for a roommate who is neat and quiet. You know I can't live with someone who is loud and messy. I don't have a car, so I also need to think carefully about the location. I probably need to look for somewhere near a bus stop or an underground station. That way I will have more time to study and spend less time travelling.I'm looking forward to your reply.Love,Victor （1）Why does Victor feel excited? （不超过7个词）（2）What kind of person does Victor want to share the house with? （不超过3个词）（3）What place does Victor want to find to live in?（不超过5个词）【答案】（1）Because he can decide where to live.（2）Neat and quiet.（3）A place with convenient traffic.【解析】【分析】文章大意：本文主要说明维克多写给艾伦的一封信，信中维克多就自己选择新居向艾伦寻求帮助。

【答案】How to get along well with parentsMore and more people begin to focus on the parent-child relationship. Here’s my understanding of how to get along well with our parents.CYCRC did a survey in the United States and China. The results showed that 48.1% of Chinese children often talk to their parents, far fewer than the Americans. More understanding lies in American parent-child relationship. I think we should not only talk often but open our heart. For example, when I got low marks in exams, I always talked to my parents. They helped me find the reason and encouraged me. I also shared my secrets and worries with them. A good relationship requires efforts from both parents and children.As children, getting well with parents is of great importance to us. We should find a proper way to create a healthy parent-child relationship.【解析】【详解】这篇作文要求我们以How to get along well with parents为题，就中国青少年研究中心（CYCRC）近日对中美两国亲子关系问卷调查的结果进行介绍，并结合自己的实际经历，发表自己的感谢。

Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger.Scientists have found out that radiation（辐射） is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. Some special medicine may work a little, but there's no really helpful medicine.Space junk is also thought a great danger to spacemen. It's reported that there are 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are man-made satellites（卫星）,10% are spaceships, and the rest are space junk. An explosion（爆炸） in 1996 made a cloud of 300,000 fragments（碎片）, each at least 4 mm in size, and even a small piece of these knocked against a spaceship window and did some damage. Scientists are working on helpful ways to do with space junk.Although space is really dangerous, it interests everyone on the earth. In the near future, it may become usual for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space for a few years. So we should care for space and do something to help improve the space environment.（1）________ of man-made things in space are space junk.A. 10%B. 30%C. 60%D. 80%（2）_______ is/are the most dangerous to spacemen.A.

American and Chinese scientists rebuilt the feathers of a flightless（不能飞的）dinosaur that lived about 150 million years ago, and researchers studied melanosomes（黑素体）in the feathers. The researchers compared them to the melanosomes that control the colour of feathers on modern birds. They were then able to make out the colours of dinosaurs' feathers. Richard Prum, a biologist（生物学家）at Yale University, said the dinosaur would be a beautiful creature if it were still alive. The discovery is useful to scientists in another way. It helps them better understand not only how dinosaurs looked but also how they lived in their daily life. Some researchers plan to use this way to study the colours of other feathered dinosaurs.（1）What did scientists discover?A. Brown and gray dinosaurs.B. The first remains of a dinosaur.C.

How can bats fly and see at night? They fly by radar（雷达）.The bat's radar system（系统） works the same way as the radar in ships and planes. As a bat flies through the air, it makes a sound. If the sound hits things, it will come back a nd the bat’s ears will receive the message. In this way the bat is able to know where the things are. Bats go out for food at night.

The answer is between 8 and 10 hours. If you don't get enough sleep at night, you'll have less energy the next day.But the researchers say many children have missed out on 4,500 hours of sleep by the time they are seven years old. They say that children miss sleep because they have TVs and computersin their rooms, and busy parents don't read to their younger children at night any more. The traditional “bedtime story” helps children to relax and fall asleep peacefully. Children with TVs and computers in their bedrooms were more likely to sleep badly, and to get less than eight hours' sleep. Even losing one hour's sleep a night can mean that children do less well at school.German scientists think that your brain keeps working while you're asleep. To show that they were right, they gave two groups of people a problem to work out. One group went to sleep, and the other group stayed awake. The result? The people who slept worked out the answer more quickly, suggesting their brains had been trying to find the answer while the people were asleep. So, make sure you get enough sleep tonight, and you'll be at your best tomorrow!（1）What happens to children at school if they don't get enough sleep?A. They walk more slowly.B. They can relax.C.
