vaccines for the novel coronavirus are being developed around the world right now.Many of them may not work or may have side effects that can be dangerous.That is why testing is very important．Before a vaccine is ever tested on humans，it's first tested on animals to make sure it seems safe.Testing the vaccine on humans is done in several different phases （阶段）.In Phase 1，a small group of people are given small amounts of the vaccine to see if it has any bad effects.Phase 2 still tests the vaccine's safety，but it's mainly a test to see if the vaccine seems to work.If Phase 2 goes well，the vaccine can begin Phase 3．During Phase 3，the vaccine is tried on a much larger group of people to see how well it works．Because of the serious and worldwide impact （影响）of the novel coronavirus，there is huge pressure to develop a working vaccine quickly．It normally takes seven or more years to develop a safe vaccine that works well.Now drug companies are hoping to create working vaccines in 12 or 18 months．But health experts also warn that rushing too much could be dangerous.A vaccine with harmful effects could cause more problems than it solves．（1）According to the passage，the scientists who are making vaccines are　A　．A.hard﹣working and carefulB.patient and easy﹣goingC.kind and curiousD.caring and brave（2）How long does it take to create working vaccines in the usual way？　D　A.Less than six

the DiseaseC.Protect People against the VirusD.Create Working Vaccines解析：全世界的科学家都在争先恐后地研制和测试新型冠状病毒疫苗，他们正在取得进展，但还需要相当长的时间才能准备好疫苗．这篇短文主要讲述了新型冠状病毒疫苗的研制方法和测试阶段．快速研制出有效疫苗面临巨大压力，通常需要7年或更长时间才能研制出有效的安全疫苗，现在制药公司希望在12到18个月内研制出有效疫苗．参考答案：（1）A．细节推理题，根据文章开头Scientists around the world are racing to create and test vaccines （疫苗）to help protect people against the novel coronavirus．可知：全世界的科学家都在争先恐后地研制和测试新型冠状病毒疫苗．注意句子中动词race，目的强调科学家在努力工作，也就是说"研制疫苗的科学家们是（hard﹣working）工作努力的．根据第三段Before a vaccine is ever tested on humans，it's first tested on animals to make sure it seems safe.Testing the vaccine on humans is done in several different phases．可知：在人类身上进行疫苗试验之前，首先要在动物身上进行试验，以确保它看起来是安全的．在人身上试验疫苗分为几个不同的阶段进行试验．由此可以推断出："研制疫苗的科学家们是（careful）细心的．故选：A．（2）D．细节理解题，根据第四段It normally takes seven or more years to develop a safe vaccine that works well．可知：通常需要7年或更长时间才能研制出有效的安全疫苗．故选：D．（3）D．细节理解题，根据最后一段But health experts also warn that rushing too much could be dangerous.A vaccine with harmful effects could cause more problems than it solves．可知：仓促研制出疫苗可能会带来更多问题．故选：D．（4）A．标题归纳题，根据第一段Scientists around the world are racing to create and test vaccines （to help protect people against the novel coronavirus）可知：全世界的科学家都在争先恐后地研制和测试新型冠状病毒疫苗．根据第二段There are many different ways to make vaccines．可知：制造疫苗的方法有很多种．第三段讲述疫苗的测试，第四段Because of the serious and worldwide impact （影响）of the novel coronavirus，there is huge pressure to develop a working vaccine quickly．可知：由于这种新型冠状病毒具有严重的世界性影响，快速研制出有效疫苗面临巨大压力．最后一段But health experts also warn that rushing too much could be dangerous.A vaccine with harmful effects could cause more problems than it solves．可知：仓促研制出疫苗可能会带来更多问题．由此可知这篇短文主要讲述科学家们仓促研制和测试新型冠状病毒疫苗，以及仓促研制疫苗带来的问题．可以用Rush for a Vaccine．比较合适，起一语双关的作用．故选：A．点拨：首先要通读全文，了解文章大意，紧紧抓住上下文语境所提供的信息，然后明确词意，结合排除法逐一选出答案．最后再通读全文，核对答案．第二节（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）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．选项中有两项为多余选项．15．（10分）If you're a kid who likes to have

But many people just can’t stop doing it: biting their nails.Up to 45 percent of teenagers in the UK bite their nails, the BBC reported. There are also many famous nail biters, including ex-British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and American singer Britney Spears.There’s nothing wrong with biting nails to keep them tidy. But it could get out of control.Some people bite a nail not because it’s too long, but because they are driving, reading, feeling stressed out, or just hav e nothing else to do.The same could happen to skin picking and hair pulling. A normal behavior could become “pathological”(病态的), as experts say.In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association labeled (把……列为) nail biting as an_______________(OCD). People with this disorder may wash their hands too many times or have to line up their shoes in a certain way.These behaviors have a lot in common. OCD is doing something normal and healthy too much, NPR reported.But nail biting is different from other OCD behaviors in at least one way.“In OCD, the behavior is really unwanted,” Carol Mathews, a psychiatrist（精神病医生）at the University of California, San Francisco, told NPR. People with OCD don’t want to wash their hands over and over again. There is no fun in it. The y just fear that if they don’t do something, something else that’s very bad will happen to them.But nail biters enjoy it.“It’s rewarding. When you get the right nail, it feels good,” said Mathews.Therefore some people argue that most nail biters are not having a problem as serious as a mental (心理的) disorder. But anyway, it’s still a bad habit. So what can we do to stop it?Since most people bite nails as a way of relieving (缓解) stress, finding another way to relieve that stress could be useful, suggested Rochelle Torgerson, a doctor at the Mayo Clinic in the US. Try playing with your pen instead.Besides, nail biters feel the urge (刺激，冲动) to bite if they find a small imperfect part of the nail, said Mathews. So always keep your nails in good shape.1．What does the phraseobsessive-compulsive disorderin Paragraph 6 mean?A．An activity that people enjoy doing it.B．A kind of behavior that people is really wanted.C．A way of doing something that people does it normal and healthy.D．A mental disorder that people are unable to control the thoughts or the activities.2．How is nail biting different from other OCD behaviors?A．People do it over and over again.B．People do it happily and willingly.C．It does no harm to people’s health.D．It is a physical and mental problem.3．What do doctors suggest people do to stop nail biting?A．Pick skin or pull hair instead.B．Force them to control the urge to bite.C．Keep them busy and forget about nails.D．Find some other ways to release their stress.B14、Y our third year of middle school was probably a difficult and busy time. You may have had trouble getting enough sleep. We all know that not getting enough sleep is not good for our health. But it has be found that less sleep could even cause you to have fewer friends, the Guardian reported.According to researchers from the University of California, people who don't get enough sleep are less willing to socialize(社交)with others. They are simply too tired to go out.The researchers did a small study. They tested 18 young people who had just had a good night's sleep -as well as tested them again after a sleepless night. The participants watched videos of people with expressions walking toward them. When the person on the video got too "close" to them, they pushed a button to stop the video, which recorded howclose they allowed the person to get.The results showed that the participants kept the person at a further distance if they hadn't gotten enough sleep. They might think the person intruded their personal space. But when the participants got a good night's sleep, they allowed the person to get much closer to them.According to a lead researcher Matthew Walker, the less sleep you get, the less you want to socialize with others. In turn, other people may think you look strange and stay away from you. This can make you feel lonely and cause you to sleep even less. It becomes a vicious cycle(恶性循环).So if you want to be a more sociable and popular person, seeping well might help. "One night of good see makes you feel more outgoing and confident." Walker told the Daily Mail.1．According to the passage, in the third year of your middle school, you may meet ____.A．schoolwork problems B．sleeping problemsC．feeling problems D．eating problems2．Why did he researches test 18 young people?A．They wanted to know how they slept well.B．They wanted to know how they closed to others.C．They wanted to how much courage they had.D．They wanted to know how sleeping influenced them.3．What does the underlined word “intruded” mean in this passage?A．丢弃B．侵犯C．远离D．拥有4．If you get less sleeping, _____________________ .A．you are easy to get on well with othersB．you'll get much closer to other peopleC．it causes you to sleep more the next timeD．you can't be a more social and popular person5．What's the main idea of the passage?A．Sleeping well. B．Socializing with other people.C．A sleeping test. D．Being more outgoing and confident.C15、It’s the place where smart people make smart machines work even smarter. But for the people who work in it, Silicon Valley (硅谷) is more than just a high technology hothouse. It’s also in the heart of sunny California, a great place to start a family and raise kids. What could be better?But something is happening to the children. Up until the age of two they develop normally. Their proud parents watch and smile as they take their first steps and speak their first words. But then everything seems to go backwards. The children become locked into their own small world, unable to communicate at all.They call it the “curse of Silicon Valley,” but the medical name for the condition is autism. It used to be thought that autism was a mental illness. Now doctors are sure that it is a disease transmitted genetically (遗传). It seems that the people leading the communications revolution are having children who cannot communicate at all.But even the parents have trouble communicating. Asperger’s Syndrome (综合症) is connected with autism. People who have it are highly intelligent and often brilliant with numbers or systems but have no social skills, which makes Asperger’s sufferers into excellent computer professionals. Unfortunately, many of the children of two Asperger’s parents in Silicon Valley seem to be developing serious autism.There is little anyone can do. And there is no cure in sight. Some argue that no cure should be found．“It may be that autistics are essentially (本质上) different from normal people, but that these differences make them valuable for the evolution (进化) of the human race,” says Dr Kirk Wilhelm of the Universit y of California．“To remove the genes (基因) for autism could be terrible.It seems that the children of Silicon Valley are paying the price of genius.1．A person who has autism usually _____.A．has difficulty in speakingB．loses communication skillsC．has difficulty in workingD．hates people around2．Which of the following best explains “curse of Silicon Valley”?A．The children are brought up in Silicon Valley.B．Autism is just a result of working in Silicon Valley.C．The children suffer from autism due to their parents in Silicon Valley.D．Autism makes the children in Silicon Valley unable to communicate.3．Some people think that no cure of autism should be found because ______.A．autism cannot be curedB．autism isn’t a diseaseC．harm will be done to the childrenD．autism is necessary in some way4．What does the writer seem to feel about the children of Silicon Valley?A．It’s a pity that they cannot have a normal life.B．They are the pride of the human race.C．They are sure to have a bright future.D．It’s like ly that they will have a normal life.D16、Language changes all the time. New words and phrases appear and develop. The words and pronunciations used by young people in the UK can be very different to those used by adults. Living in a multicultural (多元文化的) society has an effect on language, especially on young people, whose friends are often from a mix of backgrounds. TV and music also have big influence on the language of the young. Often UK singers sing in American accents (口音) without realizing.Young Br itish people use lots of language that you usually can’t find in most dictionaries. These informal words and expressions are known as ‘slang’. It is not possible to make a complete list of modern British slang. By the time the list was finished, it would be out of date! New words come and go like fashions. However, here are a few examples:Safe, sorted, sound, cool or wicked all mean “That’s good” or “I understand”.Instead of using different tag questions like … isn’t it?, can’t you? or don’t they?, people use innit.Instead of saying very, really or completely, people use well.Whatever means I don’t care.‘He’s fine’ or ‘He’s fit’ both mean ‘He’s good-looking’. Fine and fit can describe a boy or a girl.Not everybody uses slang and not everybody likes it. A school in Sheffield, in the north of England, recently stopped its pupils using slang words such as hiya (hello), cheers and ta (both mean thank you). The head teacher says that if young people learn to speak ‘correctly’ this will help them get a place at university and a good job.When British people use language like this, it’s no surprise that some students say they can’t understand native (本土的) speakers. But perhaps learners don’t need to worry about communicating with native speakers so much. Resear ch shows that most of the English spoken in the world today is spoken between non-native speakers of the language. In fact, when we think about “International English”, there is no such thing as a native or non-native speaker.1．In the UK, you can find little slang in .A．pop songs B．TV programmesC．most dictionaries D．young people’s language2．The writer uses the example of a school in Sheffield to support that .A．slang is out of dateB．slang is changing quicklyC．slang words can be used easilyD．some people don’t like slang3．Which slang can be used in the following dialogue?—But the teacher says we can’t leave until we’ve finished.—. I’m going.A．Sound B．Fine C．Cheers D．Whatever4．If you want to learn more about the subject of the pass age, you can search the Internet with the key words “”. A．British people B．English slangC．language changes D．English cultures5．This passage would most likely be found in a book of .A．novel B．cultureC．travel D．HistoryE17、Tourist Service Center It lies at the western gate, just beside the ticket center.

It is a game on Alipay (支付宝). Users collect “energy” to make their “trees” grow. When the “energy” reaches a certain (某种) level, some organizations will plant a real tree in a desert area of China. To users, it’s an easy work, but it’s very difficult to plant trees in deserts. How ever, there are some heroes in the deserts. They have been working hard on controlling the deserts.Bai Chunlan, a common farmer, is one of them. She was born in 1953. She married when she was 18 years old. She lived in a village. The village was so poor and short of water. One day in 1980, the villagers decided to plant trees to control the desert with ten other families. Early in the morning, they went into the desert to plant trees. At noon, strong sun seemed to burn everything. They didn’t have time to think about themselves, because those young trees needed protection. The next spring, a heavy sandstorm destroyed all the trees.In 1997, her husband (丈夫) died from hard work. Her eldest son died of cancer in 2008. But Bai didn’t lose heart. She continued to fight against the desert. So far, only her family has planted more than 20, 000 trees. And now more and more people follow her to take part in the sand controlling.21．What’s the purpose (意图) of Ant Forest?A．To teach people how to plant trees.B．To sell trees on the Internet.C．To encourage people to protect the earth.D．To teach people how to save energy.22．What was the village like when Bai Chunlan married?A．Poor.

It will make everyday tasks easier and bring efficiency to many industries. It might be one of man’s greatest inventions (n. 发明).And yet, like any other technology, AI will also bring risks. In February 2018, a group of AI experts (专家) got together to discuss the possible disadvantages of AI. What they found was that “Every AI developed by the good persons is also helpful for the bad ones, too. “ according to Quartz.Their biggest worry was that the bad people could use AI for bad things. One of the areas they looked at was the use of AI to create websites that could be used to steal people’s personal information. Another possibility is that AI programs could be used to hack software (n. 软件) and break into computer secure systems (安全系统).There are some other worries as well. It is possible that AI could be used to create fake (伪造的，虚拟的) imagines and videos. Baidu, in fact, has developed a program called Deep V oice that can “clone (克隆)” anyone’s voice by studying a 3. 7-second audio sample (音频样本).Many leading people have expressed worries about AI. People like Bill Gates and Elon Musk have called for the industry to be more strictly controlled, as there are few laws right now on the use of AI.However, this is set to change. In March 2018, the European Union plans to set up a group that will discuss the moral and ethical (伦理道德的) dangers of AI, and it will help to keep it safe for humans.26．________ might be one of man’s greatest inventions according to the passage.A．Many industries B．AI C．Baidu D．Clone27．The underlined word “hack” in Paragraph 3 means ________ in Chinese.A．保护B．对比C．入侵D．学习28．The program Deep Voice can be used for ________.A．protecting computer secure systems B．stealing people’s personal informati on.C．controlling all the industry D．cloning people’s voice29．________ have called for the AI industry to be more strictly controlled.A．Bill Gates and Elon Musk B．The European UnionC．A group of AI experts D．All of the mankind30．What does this passage mainly talk about?A．The benefits of artificial intelligence. B．How to use artificial intelligence.C．People’s worries about artificial intelligence.D．The future of artificial intelligence.第二节（共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分）阅读短文,从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,使短文通顺、连贯。

They should be prevented from changingBAs a high-altitude archaeologist (someone who studies old thing found on mountains), Luke climbs to the tops of mountains to explore (探索) places where people used to pray (祈祷). So far, he has climbed more than 100 mountains over 16, 500 feet high.Growing up in Argentina, Luke was always interested in ancient civilizations(文明). His dream was to live and work near the mountains. In school, Luke worked hard to reach his goal. Math was a subject he really had to conquer!Now, Luke uses math all the time. "How many feet will we climb? How long will it take? What time do we start?" He knows that careful planning can mean the difference between success and failure.In 1999, Luke and his team climbed Llullaillaco, a mountain in Argentina. It was a very difficult climb, with blowing snow, strong winds and thin air.When the explorers finally reached the top, they found three frozen Incan mummies (木乃伊).Two girls and a boy were buried 500 years ago. The mummies still have hair on their arms, which makes them the best-preserved mummies in the world.The explorers also found cloth, silver and gold pieces such as animals. "This was like meeting someone from the ancient past,"says Luke.This journey was long and hard, but that did not stop Luke from climbing. "Just think of the Incas who climbed these mountains hundreds of years ago," he says. "They lived through the same conditions." With preparation and courage, Luke proves one thing: no mountain or goal is too big to reach!21. From paragraph 1, its clear that a high-altitude archaeologist often meets______.A.physical challengeB. sudden deathC. difficult math problemsD. strange people22. The underlined word "conquer" in paragraph 2 means______.A.dropB. offerC. masterD.review23. Which of the following objects might the explorers find on mountain Llullnillaco?①A cloth bag ①A wooden box ①A gold horse ④A world map ⑤A mummyA.①①④B. ①①⑤C. ①①⑤D.①④⑤24. What"s the genre(体裁) of this passage?A. A comedy which makes people laugh.B. A profile which gives facts about a person.C. A mystery which creates a mysterious story.D. A drama which has some kind of performance.25. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The Success of A ManB. Returning to CivilizationsC. The Journey to LlullillacoD. Climbing toward His GoalCStrange events in the sky, such as speeding lights or flying objects, which cannot be explained are called UFOs. Some people believe they could be a sign of aliens.Many people think there are intelligent life forms in the universe (宇宙) other than humans. However, millions of pounds have been spent searching for aliens and no one has found proof (证据). Some people think it is a waste of money and people's skills. So, is searching for aliens worth the money and effort? Here are two different voices.Ir's a mystery that needs to be solved. "Are humans alone in the universe?" is a question that has inspired centuries of debate(辩论),dating back thousands of years and at least as far as the ancient Creeks. It is a question that has inspired hundreds of books and films, which shows how important it is to people. If someone sees a UFO, we need to find out what it is.Scientists searching for aliens could create new technologies and these could do good to Earth. For example, the small, lightweight camera on phones was developed so astronauts could take photos in space. Plus, if we were to discover aliens, we might be able to share knowledge with each other and create friendships across the universe.__★__ There are many important problems here on Earth—such as climate(气候) change. People should focus energy on these rather than searching the universe for aliens that might not even exist(存在). Many people have spent lots of money trying to find signs of alien life and there is no result. Videos of flashing lights and strange objects in the sky might make good stories but in fact there is probably a reasonable explanation, such as a dirty mark on the camera lens(镜头). Besides, if aliens do exist, they will probably find us first so we might as well stop wasting our energy on them and spend it making Earth a better place to live.26. Paragraph 2 mainly focuses on_______.A.what aliens are likeB. what people's different opinions areC. how people found proofD. how much money has been wasted27. According to paragraph 3, searching for aliens could_______.A. make people more friendlyB. have started from ancient GreeksC. inspire humans' creativityD. develop the entertainment business28. Which of the following can be put in___★____.A. Humans have tried for years to find UFOB. People should put more effort into spaceC. The money could be put to better useD. More discoveries do good to Earth29. The underlined word "these" refers to_______.A. signs of alien lifeB. stories on scienceC. videos of flashing lightsD. problems on Earth30.

She gives us everything we need in our daily life. She is our Mother Earth.April 22 is Earth Day. The theme of this year is “Green Cities”.A green city is a healthy and pleasant place for people to live, according to the United Nations. A green city can get its energy fromregenerativesources like solar (太阳能的) and wind power. Also, it is connected by clean public transportation. Moreover, a green city is made up of facilities (设施) that can save energy and reduce waste.Around the world, many cities and countries have done well to build themselves in a green way. Chicago is well known for its green roof (屋顶) program. These roofs are covered with plants. The plants get a great amount of rainwater. Later, the water evaporates (蒸发) to help make the air cool and clean. So far, there are about 360 green roofs in Chicago, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency.Curitiba, Brazil, has great transportation(运输). It opened the world’s first bus rapid transit (BRT) system in 1974. BRT runs on special lanes. This makes sure that buses are on time even in traffic jams. With the help of BRT, the city has the lowest level of air pollution in Brazil. Today, many other countries have copied BRT, including China and Mexico. Singapore is home to the first zero-energy building in Southeast Asia. Zero energy means a building is able to create more energy than it uses. Zero-energy buildings work with solar panels (板) mainly on roofs. These panels can make electricity which powers the buildings. By 2030, Singapore plans to build 80 percent of its buildings like this.1．What is a green city according to the United Nations?A．A city with many green trees and flowers.B．A green place for people to live.C．A healthy and pleasant place for people to live.D．A place is green for people to live.2．The theme of Earth Day this year is “”.A．Green Roofs B．Green CitiesC．Reducing and Recycling D．Environmental Protection3．The underlined word “regenerative” in Paragraph 3 means “”.A．getting terrible things and smellsB．giving new life and freshnessC．reducing waste thingsD．producing old materials again4．From the passage, we learn that in the three cities .A．people are encouraged to grow plants on their roofsB．special lanes (车道) are designed to solve traffic jamsC．people make good use of solar and wind energyD．people are provided with a pleasant place to live5．The passage is mainly developed by .A．giving examples B．explaining reasonsC．listing suggestions D．showing different opinionsC15、It's not W ASTE until it is WASTED!With the World Environment Day coming, our school is now requiring every student to form a habit of sorting the waste. Here in our schoolyard we lay four different colors of rubbish bins for different kinds of rubbish. The red is for harmful waste; the blue is for waste that can be recycled (循环再用); the green is for kitchen waste; the yellow is for other waste.The followings are some instructions for you.Glass: Empty bottles without caps can be recycled to make new glass bottles.Warning: Mirrors and light bulbs (电灯泡) must not be included in the glass waste.Paper: Newspapers, magazines, boxes must be clean enough to be recycled.Warning: Paper tissues (餐纸) and wall paper are not recyclable as paper and should be kept separately.PMD waste: Packaging made of Plastic or Metal and Drink boxes are used to make new packaging.Warning: Plastic pots (e.g. yoghurt pots), plastic bags must not be included with the PMD waste.Harmful waste: out-of-date drugs, used batteries (电池), paint and oil…Besides, if you don't need your old bikes at all, our school volunteers will collect them.

The sun was probably the world’sfirst “clock”, except in the far north, where the Eskimos(爱斯基摩人) live. There, it’s dark most o f the winter, and light most of the summer. But in most of the world, people have used the sun for a clock. Even today, if you don’t have a clock, you still know that when the sun shines, it’s day, and when it’s dark, it’s night. The sun can also tell you if it’s morning, noon, or afternoon.People who live near the sea can tell time from the tides. In the daytime, for about six hours, the water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes down and down for about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours.Seamen on a ship learn how to tell time by looking at the moon and the stars. The whole sky is their clock.In some places in the world the wind comes up at about the same time every day or changes direction or stops blowing. In these places the wind can be the clock.A sand clock is an even better clock. If you had fine dry sand in a glass shaped like the one in the picture, you would have what is called an hourglass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom part in exactly one hour. When the hourglass is turned over, the sand will take another hour to go back again.1．According to(根据) the passage, there are ____________ ways to tell time besides（除了）the clock and watch.A．3 B．4 C．5 D．72．The Eskimos in the far north can’t use the sun for a clock because __________.A．they know very little about the sunB．the sun there never goes down in winterC．it’s too cold for them to go out to watch the sunD．it has long dark winters and long light summers3．The underlined(下划线) word “tides” in the passage means _____________.A．洋流B．潮汐C．海啸D．波浪4．In which page of a newspaper can you most probably read this passage?A．News B．Science C．Business D．Advertisement5．What’s the bes t title for the passage?A．Different Ways to Tell Time B．Useful Machines to Tell TimeC．The History of the Clock D．The Development of the ClockE17、Last year, Webster and her family gave away 30 pairs of shoes, Webster, 13, is a seventh- grader at Calvary Christian school in the US.I never really thought that there were people that don’t wear shoes and don’t get to have them,” said Webster. Lastyear, Webster and her classmates and staff at the school and Calvary Church donated more than 1,000 of shoes.This year, the school and church are still holding the activity. They collect new or lightly used shoes to Soles4Souls. It is a global nonprofit organization that gives shoes and clothing to people in need for free.Head of the school Troy saw Sole4Souls as a good way to develop the charitable(慈善的) giving. ”It’s amazing how easy it is to give away what we have in our closet already. And it doesn’t hurt too much,” he said. ”it’s just growing generosity(慷慨) in our students. It’s helping them to think beyond themselves..”The goal this year is to collect 1,500 pairs of shoes, Troy said. A group of students including Webster is heading up the thing. They create posters to put up around their school yard and spread the word to church members and their neighbors.Taking part in Soles4 Souls has also changed the way Bella, 12, thinks of shoes. Last year, she gave five pairs–including some she wanted to keep. Now she is looking forward to doing it.1．Who may donate the shoes to people in need?A．The students B．The staff at the churchC．The workers and teachers at school D．All of the above2．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A．Webster and Bella gave away 45 pairs of shoes last year.B．Students only give away the shoes they have used before to the Sloes4SoulsC．Students can become generous when they take part in the charitable giving.D．It’s really hard to give away in clothes and shoes that we own.3．The nonprofit organization in the fourth paragraph means the organizations that are run(经营) . A．to ask people for the profitB．not for the purpose of making moneyC．by the governmentD．by some tradersF18、In Britain, the first day of the month of May is known as May Day. May day marks the end of the harsh(严酷的) winter months, welcomes the beginning of Summer, and optimistically looks forward to the bright and productive months.For their ancestors, largely in rural areas, it was a major annual festival and was celebrated(庆祝) through out the country, especially on the first day of May with music, dancing and games.How was May Day Celebrated in the past?May Day began early in the morning. People went out before sunrise in order to gather flowers and plants to make their houses and villages beautiful in the belief that the vegetation spirits(神灵) would bring good luck.A traditional May Day dance is Maypole Dancing，On May Day, people used to cut down young trees and stick them in the ground in the village to mark the arrival of summer.People danced around the tree poles in celebration of the end of winter and the start of the fine weather that would allow planting to begin. Maypoles are still a part of somevillage life and on May Day the villagers dance around it.May Day celebrations have their origins(起源) in the Roman festival of Flora, goddess(女神) of fruit and flowers, which marked the beginning of summer. So the highlight of the day was the crowning(为…加冕) of the May Queen(女皇), the human replica (模型) of Flora. By tradition she took no part in the games or dancing, but sat like a queen in aflower-decked chair to watch her 'subjects'.Ever since 1978, for the convenience of the general public, many May Day activities have now been moved to the new May Day holiday on the first Monday of the month.

He felt a rush of 3 when he held the watch in his hand.“What are you going to do with it?” asked Tom.“ 4 it!” said Fred. “I don’t know who lost it.”“But I think I know 5 it is,” said Tom.“Of course you don’t,” Fred answered quickly.Tom shrugged (耸肩) and said 6 more. Fred put the watch in his schoolbag and hurried back home. He looked at it again and again. That night, before he fell asleep, he put it 7 on his bedside table and kept turning his head to look at it. But the more he looked at it, the more a(n) 8 feeling started to eat away at him. It was a beautiful watch—but Fred 9 it was something that was not his.“Tom,” he said, the next day at school, “didn’t you say you might know the 10 of the watch?”“Yes. It looks like Doctor Perry’s. I saw him 11 it before.”After school ended, Fred hurried to the doctor’s office. “Excuse me, Doctor Perry. Is this watch yours?” said Fred.The doctor took a good look at the 12 . “It is,” said the doctor. “I lost it the other day.”“I found it,” said Fred, “and I took it home. I didn’t know it was yours. Now, here you are.”The doctor said, “You’ve been very 13 and helpful. I bought a new one, so now I have two. I’m 14 thankful that I’d like you to keep the old one.”“Really? Oh! Thank you!” said Fred.

It is a historical kind of living place. We can easily find it all over China, especially in Beijjing. Siheyuan is made up of four buildings. These houses usually face south in order to get more sunlight during winter.The Chineseword for “palace” is Gong. ThePalace Museum of Beijing was usedas the palace for both Ming, Dynastyand Qing Dynasty. It has many halls,towers, and small parks in it. It is oneof the greatest palaces in the world.Houses of thiskind are mostly found in InnerMongolia (内蒙古). They havebeen very popular for long. Theylook like big tents. On the topthere is a round hole which isopened during the day and closedat night.16．In which picture can we see the yurt?A．B．C．D．17．Why does Siheyuan face south according to the passage?A．To bring good luck.B．To let fresh air in.C．To make people feel safe.D．To get more sunlight in winter.18．It’s clear that ________.A．Siheyuan is only found in BeijingB．the Palace Museum has halls, towers and parksC．the hole on the top of each yurt is always openD．the Palace Museum was built in Tang Dynasty19．What do all these buildings have in common?A．They can be seen everywhere.B．They are modern and popular.C．They are big and tall buildings.D．They are traditional Chinese buildings.20．Where is the passage probably from?A．A novel.B．A magazine.C．A storybook.D．A movie poster.Nervously, but for courage (勇气), I hold the rope of my guide dog Coco when we pass by my neighbor’s yard. Walking by Mr. Smith’s yard is the best part of our morning walk … and also the worst.The sweet smell of the roses in Mr. Smith’s yard is the best. The worst comes from Mr. Smith. “Hello, Mr. Smith.” I greet him as usual, and he doesn’t reply (回复).But I know he’s there and he closes the gate quickly.I wonder why Mr. Smith ignores me. Why can’t two people who like roses be friends? It’s a question to me.Maybe because I’m blind? Disabilities sometimes scare people. But I heard him playing chess with Jimmy who’s in a wheelchair.Maybe local people dislike foreigners? But he and my brother Joe are friends. Maybe because I’m a girl? But when my friend Helen greets him, he says hello to her warmly.So Mr. Smith likes Jimmy, Joe and Helen, but not me and Coco!Suddenly I come to know why he doesn’t talk to me.I tie Coco to a tree, feel my way and move slowly. His gate opens. “Jenny! Be careful!”Mr. Smith shouts worriedly and takes me by the arm.“Mr. Smith, I thought you didn’t like me. But now I guess it’s because of Coco—you are afraid of her?” I ask him in a low voice.“Yeah, Jenny. Your Coco is a very… big dog.” Mr. Smith laughs.“Your fear of Coco may be big, but our friendship is bigger. I’ll help you.” …21．The writer starts the passage by ________.A．expressing feelings B．giving an example C．answering a question D．explaining reasonsA．Be strict with.B．Be crazy about.C．Pay no attention to.D．Get in the way of.23．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Mr. Smith doesn’t like Jenny.B．Helen is friendlier than Jenny.C．Jimmy and Jenny are both blind.D．Mr. Smith is afraid of Jenny’s dog.24．The passage is mainly about how to get on with ________.A．the pets B．the neighbors C．the disabled D．the relatives25．What can we learn from the passage?A．Keeping pets always brings a lot of fun.B．Warm greetings can receive quick replies.C．Better understanding is the key to making friends.D．People with the same hobbies must be good friends.Around the world, people are more and more worried about the environment. Many people now prefer products and companies (公司) that care about the earth and cause less pollution. This need for green products has led large companies to change their business.Before, customers used cheap plastic (塑料) bags, and then threw them away.But now most supermarkets and stores usually provide reusable shopping bags for them. This causes less waste. They also offer more local products, because less energy is needed for carrying them from one place to another.To help lower air pollution, big car factories are looking for other ways to control the amount of oil. Cars that use much less oil are very popular. Many companies are also developing fully electric cars. They produce no air pollution at all. Both kinds of cars have another advantage: They are cheaper to run and people don’t need to worry about oil prices.The airline companies face an even greater green challenge. Airplanes use much more oil than cars. So manyairlines are now developing planes that can run on some other kinds of oil. They create less pollution and cost less. The companies are also developing a new kind of planes, and some of them use only solar panels (太阳能板) to fly!Green businesses used to be popular with only a small group of people. But now, more and more companies have to show they care about the environment. Many products are marked “green” in order to look nice. However, people still have to be careful when choosing green products. It’s important to make sure the products are as environmentally friendly as the businessmen say.26．What does the word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．Local products.B．Green products.C．Cheap plastic bags.D．Reusable shopping bags. 27．What are the advantages of electric cars according to the passage?a. Using cheap oil.b. Making little noise.c. Running at low costs.d. Producing no air pollution.A．a and b B．c and d C．b and c D．a and d28．The last sentence of the passage is written to ________.A．show the green products are healthyB．encourage people to buy green productsC．explain the importance of the environmentD．tell people to choose green products carefully29．Which is the right structure of the passage?(①＝Paragraph 1①＝Paragraph 2, ...)A．B．C．D．30．What’s the best title for the passage?A．Green Is Cheaper B．Green Saves the Earth C．Green Is Good BusinessD．Green Makes Life Easier阅读短文，从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯。

Mary is asleep now." and "It's too late to telephone. Mary will be asleep now."？Yes. The difference is in the reason given for it being too late to telephone. In the first sentence "Mary is asleep now",the speaker is stating（陈述）a fact. In the second sentence "Mary will be asleep now", the speaker is saying what Mary usually does. In fact, it's possible that Mary isn't asleep, but she is usually asleep at this time.So let's take two situations. In the first case, imagine Mary's mother answers the telephone.You: "May I speak to Mary, please?"Mother: "No. It's too late. Mary is asleep now."You: "Are you sure? It's only 10 0'clock."Mother: "Yes. I went to her room and she was asleep."The mother knows that Mary is asleep because she went into her room and saw her.Here is another case. Two friends decide to telephone Mary.Jack: "Let's telephone Mary. It's 10 0'clock."Jill: "No. It's too late. She will be asleep now."Jill knows that Mary always goes to bed before 10 o'clock, so now she'll probably be asleep. But it is also possible that she is staying up late.1．（小题1）In the first situation. Mary's mother _______.A．is afraid to wake up MaryB．wants to tell you that she knows Mary is asleepC．knows that Mary wants to sleep at this timeD．wants to know if she can take a message for Mary2．（小题2）In the second situation, Jill _______.A．knows that Mary has gone to bedB．doesn't know whether Mary is asleepC．is sure that Mary cannot answer the telephoneD．thinks it's possible that Mary cannot answer the telephone3．（小题3）In which situation do you think the word "will" is used in the same way Jill uses it?A．Will you please lend me a hand?B．It's too heavy, I think. I'll help you.C．Don't get into his office. He will be angry now.D．Y ou won't have to come to my office. I will send it to you.B14、The more books you read, the better your life will be. If you don’t believe me, please consider the following reasons to read more books.You will have strong brain power .Studies suggest reading makes you smart. Unlike watching television, which requires no thought process（过程）, reading is an active learning experience that will keep your mind sharp (even in old age). You will travel to a new world .Sometimes our daily life can start to get boring . At times like this, I like to dive into a good fiction book, where I can forget about whatever problems are stressing me out. I’ll come back refreshed after my mini-vacation to a fresh and exciting place in the world of words.You will improve your vocabulary .The more words you’re able to use, the better you will become at expressing your thoughts and feelings. I couldn’t imagine how I would write articles like this if I didn’t actively aim to improve my vocabulary, because using the same few words to express myself would get awfully boring in a hurry.You will entertain yourself at a low price .If you’re looking for entertainment without much money, reading is your best choice. Thanks to the popularity of electronic reading devices(设备), it’s never been easier to entertain yourself for hours at a time, for the low cost of a few dollars.You will discover surprising new ideas.Reading introduced me to concepts （概念）like mindful eating, relaxation exercise s, and the importance of loving yourself. If I didn’t read, I wouldn’t realize these ideas. If you don’t read, you will miss many surprising new ideas.You will become an expert（专家）in your field .Don’t you think reading articles and books by experts i n your field might make you better at what you do? If you don’t learn more about your profession, then your lack of passion could be a sign that you’re in the wrong field.I firmly believe that reading has changed my life . I hope these reasons can encourage you to read more books.1．How many reasons are mentioned in the passage?A．five B．six C．seven D．eight2．What kind of books does the writer read when he feels bored?A．science book B．fiction book C．history book D．story book 3．Which of the following is NOT ture according to the passage?A．Reading is an active learning experience.B．Electronic reading devices make it easier to entertain yourself at a high price.

A．1/2 tablet B．1 tabletC．2 tablets D．3 tablets2．If you want to borrow some children books, you can go to the .A．5th floor B．3rd floorC．4th floor D．2nd floor3．Lin and his father want to go to the Hamilton Zoo, they should pay .A．$15 B．$30 C．$45 D．$10D16、One day, while I was waiting for my father, I saw a little boy, around two years old, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison(监狱）. The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.At that moment，I thought to myself, “Why aren’t most adults this way?” Most a dults，when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don’t even make a second attempt(尝试). They would be so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good excuse for themselves that th ey’re not fit for it. They would end up being too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure .However，with kids，when they fall down，they don’t consider their falling down as a failure, instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. The answer must be that they have not connected “falling down” with the word “failure”. What’s more，they probably think to themselves that it’s quite okay to fall down and that it’s not wrong to do so. In other words，they allow themselves to make mistakes，so they remain energetic. 1．What did the little boy do when he fell down?A．He cried and lay on the grass. B．He asked his mother for help.C．He got up and went on running. D．He got up and stood there crying.2．In the writer’s opi nion，what might the little boy consider his falling down as?A．A failure. B．A joke. C．An interesting game. D．A learning experience.3．In the writer’s opinion, why can’t many adults succeed?A．Because they are afraid of being embarrassed.B．Because they can’t find a good excuse.C．Because once they fail, they won’t attempt again.D．Because they don’t allow themselves to make mistakes.4．The underlined word “energetic” in Paragraph 3 means .A．精力充沛的B．高兴的C．沮丧的D．愉快的5．What does the writer want to tell us?A．Practice makes perfect. B．Failure is the mother of success.C．All roads lead to Rome. D．Each coin has two sides.E17、“What is success?” Mr Gruber asked his 6th grade business class. It was his opening conversation for the first class of the term.“Success is riding in a sweet car, watching an 80-inch TV, and living in a place with at least twelve rooms.” One student answered, earning laughs from all the students.Mr Gruber smiled, but shook his head. “Tom, that is excess(过量). That is not success.”“How about being able to provide for your family?” A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer.“Now we’re getting closer,” Mr Gruber smiled, “but try thinking about what you need and what you want.”“Getting everything you want.” Tom sho uted out an answer again, trying for more laughs.Mr Gruber sighed. “ I believe we’ve already talked about excess versus(与…比较) success.” “Getting everything you need, but some of what you want?” James, sitting in the back wondered aloud.“Quite right!” Mr Gruber clapped. “Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want, the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living in excess, though.”“What does this have to do with business?” Tom asked. It seemed if it wasn’t funny, he wasn’t happy.“Well, Tom, think of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to (确保) their needs, you can then see to getting the extras that you want.”“What if I don’t have a family?” he continued to be difficult.“Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one.”“He has goldfish to think about!” Peter, Tom’s friend, shouted out.“Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl.” Mr. Gruber corrected himself.Tom nodded, satisfied with that answer.“So in the next nine weeks, we’re going to study basic business situations, like having a checking account and understanding credit cards.”Tom rubbed his hands together excitedly. “When do we get to start spending?”“You already are, Tom. You’re spending time with us!” Mr. Gruber laughed. “Now, let’s see what you guys know about credit cards…”1．What class did Mr Gruber teach?A．History B．ScienceC．Maths D．Business2．Which student didn’t seem to be taking the class seriously?A．Tom B．JamesC．Peter D．Sandy3．How did Mr Gruber make his class lively and interesting?A．He himself kept talking.B．He just read from a textbook.C．He showed a movie to his students.D．He got his students to take part in a discussion.4．What do you think of Mr Gruber according to the passage?A．Strange B．PatientC．Shy D．Proud5．What can be the best title of this passage?A．Get What Y ou Want B．Needs and WantsC．Try to Get More Money D．How to Live WellF18、Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends on ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job that we fail to enjoy the presen t. Y ou should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes. 1．The best title of the passage is .A．Money Makes You HappyB．The Secrets of HappinessC．Ideas for Helping Other People to Be HappyD．Good Friends Make You Happy2．The second paragraph tells us that .A．the more friends you have, the happier you will beB．we shouldn’t think about our futureC．happiness is to enjoy the simple things in lifeD．some people fail to live a happy life3．The passage gives us piece(s) of advice on happiness.A．one B．two C．three D．four4．The writer thinks that .A．everyone knows how to live a happier lifeB．it’s wrong to spend time on workC．hobbies take up too much timeD．doing good things for someone can make you happier5．Which of the following is NOT mentioned(提到) in the passage?A．Reading a good book. B．Traveling to a foreign country.C．Playing a sport. D．Spending time with close friends.Ⅴ.书面表达19、假如你是Ivy，你们学校正在开展“爱心传递，从我做起”主题教育活动。

All I knew was that she was an orphan, who had no parents, from Africa. She had just been adopted (收养) by a family, and they thought that the best way for her to learn American ways of life is to be with American kids.Suzy was really small for her age of 12. The boys in my class often laughed at her. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page. I looked down at this small girl and promised myself that I must help her. But how could I help her fit in with us? There had to be a way.One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had opened her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a perfect copy.I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming talent show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had drawn. “Why, it’s wonderful,” sa id Miss Parker, and then showed us a poster she had painted for the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough time. Could you help me, Suzy?”On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s posters were everywhere — all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.“And finally,” said Mr. Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “We have a special award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students painted them.”I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw that well?”Mr. Brown waited for a while before saying, “Since this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a prize, too. Our mystery artist is our new student —Suzy Khan!”Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried.I realized, at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she had probably never owned anything in her whole life. Everyone started to clap their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile. I knew then Suzy was going to be all right. 1．The writer wanted to help Suzy became ______.A．Suzy was laughed at by the boys in her classB．Suzy couldn’t answer the teacher’s questionC．Suzy was really small for her age of twelveD．Suzy was adopted by the writer at that time2．Suzy Khan was in ______ when she met the writer.A．Africa B．Japan C．America D．London3．Miss Parker asked Suzy Khan to draw more pictures for her, because ______.A．she was lazyB．she had no timeC．she couldn’t draw wellD．she didn’t like drawing4．According to the passage, we can infer that ______.A．a mystery artist helped Suzy win the prize finallyB．at first everyone knew that Suzy could draw wellC．the writer thought Suzy wouldn’t own anythingD．Suzy would be more confident than beforeB14、Located in the east of Shenzhen, Dapeng New Area was once a coral paradise. However, coral coverage has dropped dramatically over the past 30 years.In November 2013, a group of divers launched a charity event called “Dive for Love” in Dapeng New Area. Sharing a common interest, these like-minded people would dive into the sea to plant corals and share their love for ocean life. I am one of them. For years, I have not only been engaged in coral reef conservative, but also give regular lectures at primary and secondary schools to popularize ocean knowledge and teach students how to protect the ocean. We believe these lectures can help spread the love for ocean life.In addition to planting coral and breeding broken coral branches, I dive with my friends to take rubbish out of thesea every month. Fishing nets are the most troublesome. I once got entangled in a fishing net while bringing it up, and it almost killed me.We usually clean the sea once a month, and the coral nursery is cleaned every 10 days. Apart from the undersea rubbish, there is also rubbish on the beaches. We can gather a lot of rubbish, such as straws, bottles, nappies, disposable lunch boxes and so on. It’s all rubbish from our d aily life. I wonder how they bear to litter on such beautiful beaches. We don’t ask that everyone takes away other people’s rubbish, but we hope they will take away their own rubbish.As a mother myself, I often take my child to the seaside and tell him t he story of the “submarine forest”. I can see that my child has a special passion for nature from an early age, so I hope to give him a beautiful and clean ocean environment, so that he can enjoy the beauty of nature. I feel sad when I consider whether my son will ever see these beautiful scenes when he grows up, which is another factor that motivates me to protect the ocean environment. 1．The author did the following things under the sea EXCEPT .A．taking rubbish out of the sea B．planting corals with other diversC．popularizing ocean knowledge D．breeding broken coral branches2．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to .A．getting entangled in a fishing net B．breading a broken coral branchC．gathering undersea rubbish D．diving deep with her friends3．Which of the following can best describe the author?A．A super diver. B．An ocean lover.C．A coral grower. D．A beautiful mother.4．How many times do the group of divers clean the sea in a year?A．10 B．12 C．30 D．365．What can we infer from the passage?A．Coral coverage has increased a little over these years.B．“Dive for Love” is a charity event to give regular lectures.C．Sometimes taking rubbish out of the sea is very dangerous.D．The author protects the ocean environment only for her child.C15、Ancient Egypt was one of the greatest civilizations(文明) in the history of the world. It lasted for over 3000 years from 3150 BC to 30 BC．Looking nice and being clean was very important to the Egyptians. Most men and women wore jewelry(珠宝) of some type. The rich wore jewelry made of gold and silver, while the poorer people used copper. Because it was so hot, mostpeople wore white clothes. Men wore kilts(男士短裙) and women wore a straight dress.Ancient Egypt was a complex society needing people to do many different tasks and jobs. Most of the people were farmers. They grew their crops near the banks of the Nile River where the rich black soil was good for crops. There were different kinds of craftsmen jobs. How skilled a craftsman was would determine his success. Most of the soldiers were footmen. In peacetime, soldiers would help with government projects such as moving stones for a pyramid(金字塔). Scribes were important people in Ancient Egypt as they were the only people who know how to read and write. Scribes came from wealthy families and took years of training to learn the Egyptian hieroglyphics(象形文字).1．（小题1）Paragraph 2 mainly tells us _______.A．where the ancient Egyptians livedB．what the ancient Egyptians woreC．what the ancient Egyptians ateD．what kinds of jobs the ancient Egyptians had2．（小题2）In ancient Egypt, most people wore white clothes because ____.A．the white clothes looked cleanB．they were ordered to wear like thatC．they were too poor to buy colorful clothesD．the weather was very hot then3．（小题3）The people who grew barley to make beer, wheat for bread and vegetables were______.A．farmers B．craftsmen C．soldiers D．scribesD16、Biting could be worryingIT makes our fingers look ugly. It’s dirty. It could hurt a lot. But many people just can’t stop doing it: biting their nails.Up to 45 percent of teenagers in the UK bite their nails, the BBC reported. There are also many famous nail biters, including ex-British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and American singer Britney Spears.Ther e’s nothing wrong with biting nails to keep them tidy. But it could get out of control.Some people bite a nail not because it’s too long, but because they are driving, reading, feeling stressed out, or just have nothing else to do.The same could happen t o skin picking and hair pulling. A normal behavior could become “pathological”(病态的), as experts say.In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association labeled (把……列为) nail biting as an_______________(OCD). People with this disorder may wash their hands too many times or have to line up their shoes in a certain way.These behaviors have a lot in common. OCD is doing something normal and healthy too much, NPR reported.But nail biting is different from other OCD behaviors in at least one way.“In OCD, the behavior is really unwanted,” Carol Mathews, a psychiatrist（精神病医生）at the University of California, San Francisco, told NPR. People with OCD don’t want to wash their hands over and over again. There is no fun in it. They just fear that if they don’t do something, something else that’s very bad will happen to them.But nail biters enjoy it.“It’s rewarding. When you get the right nail, it feels good,” said Mathews.Therefore some people argue that most nail biters are not having a problem as serious as a mental (心理的) disorder. But anyway, it’s still a bad habit. So what can we do to stop it?Since most people bite nails as a way of relieving (缓解) stress, finding another way to relieve that stress could be useful, suggested Rochelle Torgerson, a doctor at the Mayo Clinic in the US. Try playing with your pen instead.Besides, nail biters feel the urge (刺激，冲动) to bite if they find a small imperfect part of the nail, said Mathews. So always keep your nails in good shape.1．What does the phraseobsessive-compulsive disorderin Paragraph 6 mean?A．An activity that people enjoy doing it.B．A kind of behavior that people is really wanted.C．A way of doing something that people does it normal and healthy.D．A mental disorder that people are unable to control the thoughts or the activities.2．How is nail biting different from other OCD behaviors?A．People do it over and over again.B．People do it happily and willingly.C．It does no harm to people’s health.D．It is a physical and mental problem.3．What do doctors suggest people do to stop nail biting?A．Pick skin or pull hair instead.B．Force them to control the urge to bite.C．Keep them busy and forget about nails.D．Find some other ways to release their stress.E17、If you are lost in the mountains, stay calm in the face of darkness, loneliness, and the unknown. It will greatly increase your chances of survival (生存). Many people think that preparing necessary equipment and knowing how to use it are very important, but actually eighty percent of mountain survival is your reaction to fear.Find a hiding placeUnnecessary labor will make you sweat and make you cold. Find a hiding place around you before trying to start your own construction. If you are in a snow-covered area, you may be able to dig a cave in deep snow for protection from the wind. You should try to hide yourself in the middle of the mountain if possible. Stay out of the valleys-cold air falls, and the valley floor can be the coldest area on the mountain.Signal for helpThe best time to signal is during the day. Signal for help from the highest point possible-it will be easier for rescuers to see you, and any sound you make will travel farther. If you take a box of matches and a space blanket (a special blanket for traveling), build three smoky fires and put your blanket-gold side facing out on the ground.Do not walk awayIt will make finding you more difficult, as search teams will be trying to follow your path and may miss you if you have gone off in a different direction. Searchers often end up finding a car with no one in it.If you get frostbite (冻伤), do not rewarm the affected area until you're out of danger.You can walk on frostbitten feet, but once you warm the area and can feel the pain, you will not want to walk anywhere. Try to protect the frostbitten area and keep it dry until you are rescued.1．When lost in the mountains, you can increase your chances of survival if you_____.A．take a space blanket with youB．do more physical laborC．try to find a car immediatelyD．walk as far as possible to find help2．According to the passage, people most probably fail to survive if they _____.A．do not take enough equipmentB．stay in the middle of the mountainC．do not keep themselves warmD．stay in a snow-covered area3．What can we infer from the passage?A．Don't travel by yourself.B．Mountain traveling is dangerous.C．Don't get frightened in danger.D．Avoid going to unfamiliar places.F18、My friend Matt and I arrived at the Activity Centre on Friday evening. The accommodation wasn't wonderful，but we had everything we needed (beds，blankets，food)，and we were pleased to be out of the city and in the fresh air. On Saturday morning we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron had come along with two friends，Kevin and Simon，while sisters Carole and Lynn had come with Amanda. There were some other members I didn't know. We had come from different places and none of us knew the area.We knew we were going to spend the weekend outdoors，but none of us was sure exactly how. Half of us spent the morning caving while the others went rock-climbing and then we changed at lunchtime. Matt and I went to the caves(岩洞) first. Climbing out was harder than going in，but after a good deal of pushing，we were out at last. Though we were covered with mud，we were pleased and excited by what we'd done.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

While entries（参加者）for Chinese have increased by 8.6 percent since last year, German entries have declined by 16.5 percent.Derek Richardson, the senior responsible officer at Pearson, said Chinese has changed the situation of the drop in popularity of modern languages.“In languages we are seeing a drop in entries for the main modern languages: French, German and Spanish,” he said. “But what we are also seeing is an increase in entries across some of the other languages that people study. What this means is that Chinese is now more popular than German. So maybe young people are beginning to think about what languages will be useful to them in the future. ”In the 1060s, 70s and even the 80s, Germany was the economic powerhouse （经济强国）of Europe. Pupils were strongly encouraged to study German because of the importance of the German economy. Now China has become well known in the last 25 years as the fastest growing economy in the world.French remains the most popular modern language A-level followed by Spanish, but both have seen a drop in entries compared to last year by eight and four percent.

Until then, earning discounts（折扣）for doing things you would probably already be doing—like walking to work—is the next best thing.According to The Daily Dot, a free iOS app called Miles lets you earn points simply by getting up and going somewhere. When you earn enough points, you’ll be able to get gift cards and discounts for businesses like Amazon, Starbucks and Whole Foods.The app is created to encourage eco-friendly travel, so the reward points you get depend on your transport. One mile in a car translates to one point, but a ride in an Uber or Lyft will get you double the points. Public transportation helps you get three points per mile, biking is five points per mile, and walking is 10 points per mile. Flying, on the other hands, will only give you 0.1 point per mile.The trips will be recorded by the app itself. Of course, users have to allow the app to track their location at all times, which might make some people unhappy. The app’s CEO said the information collected from the app wouldn’t be shared with others.How far do you need to travel to get the rewards? Well, if you want to get something like a $5 Starbucks or Amazon gift card, you are supposed to have 2,500 pint---that is 250 miles of walking.The app isn’t available on Android but it should be coming soon.12．The first two paragraphs are mainly to ________.A．encourage people to travel B．encourage people to walk to work C．introduce a new app D．introduce some businesses 13．Which of the following can show the points you get (from the low points to the high ones)?A．Riding a bike→walking→flying.B．Riding in a Lyft→flying→walking. C．Flying→taking a bus→riding a bike.D．Taking a bus→riding a bike→flying. 14．How far do you need to walk if you want to get a $15 Amazon gift card?A．250 miles.B．500 miles.C．125 miles.D．750 miles. 15．In which part of a newspaper can we find the passage?A．INVENTION B．CULTURE C．SPORT D．TRA VEL二、阅读还原7选5Most people learn the importance of the magic words “please” and “thank you” at a very early age.
