In severe cases, dengue can even be deadly. Dengue is a serious disease affecting people in around 120 countries. It can cause high fevers, headaches, and severe pain. It’s caused by a virus spread by bites from mosquitoes. Therefore, dengue is more common in warm areas. Every year, roughly 390 million people get dengue, and as many as 25,000 die from it.Now scientists seem to have found a way to protect humans from dengue by first protecting mosquitoes. Dengue fever is caused by a virus. Though it may seem strange to think of it this way, the mosquitoes that spread the dengue virus are also infected with it. But the virus doesn’t seem to hurt the mosquitoes.Wolbachia is a kind of bacteria commonly found in many insects. In some insects, Wolbachia can keep some viruses fromduplicatingthemselves, which is how viruses grow inside a body. Wolbachia isn’t naturally found in mosquitoes. But by infecting these mosquitoes with Wolbachia, scientists can keep the mosquitoes from catching the dengue virus. Even better, the young mosquitoes coming from the eggs of the infected mosquitoes also carry Wolbachia.Researchers working with the World Mosquito Program (WMP) ran a 27-month study in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. They split a 10-square-mile area up into 24 smaller areas. In half of the areas, the scientists did nothing. In the other half, they set out containers of eggs from mosquitoes that had Wolbachia. They did this every twoweeks for just 4 to 6 months.Ten months later, 80% of the mosquitoes in the treated areas carried Wolbachia. The researchers report the number of dengue cases in the treated areas was reduced by 77% and that the number of people needing hospital care for dengue dropped by 86%.Because the results of the experiment were so good, the WHO has placed Wolbachia-infected mosquito eggs in all parts of Yogyakarta and surrounding areas. The WHO says that within a year, their efforts will protect 2.5 million people against dengue and that their efforts will be turned into a program that can be repeated worldwide.4. What kind of disease is dengue?A. It is likely to cause death.B. It causes no pain but fevers.C. It happens less often in hot areas.D. It hurts both people and mosquitoes.5. The underlined word “duplicating” in paragraph 3 most probably means “________”.A. worsening the harm ofB. expanding the size ofC. increasing forces ofD. making copies of6. What can be inferred about the method from the figures listed in paragraph 5?A. Its wide use.B. Its effectiveness.C. Its complexity.D.Its easy operation.7. What’s the WHO’s attitude towards the method?A. Ambiguous.B. Positive.C. Tolerant.D. Skeptical.CWhere doyou usually put your toothbrush?Do you keep it in the bathroom? How’s your toothbrush looking these days? Even if you can’t see it with a naked eye, experts say it may be saturated(使饱和)with millions of toilet germs!Dr. Charles Oerba, a germ expert, is amicrobiology professor at the University of Arizona. He says there are approximately 3 million bacteria per square inch in most toilet bowls, and every time you flush it without closing the lid, those millions of bacteria droplets spray into the air as far as twenty feet away and dirty everything in their path. And a common victim is your poor toothbrush, usually, left out on the bathroom sink, right?So, what do we do? Dr. Gerba says it’s easy. Close the toilet lid before you flush—that’ll greatly cut downthe germs, which will otherwise float in the air. And wash your toothbrush every few days in mouthwash or peroxide to get rid of any germs hiding in it. You can even put it through the dishwasher to sanitize(消毒)it. And always store your toothbrush in a closed cabinet.Here’s one more tip from Dr. Gerba, who says our kitchen sink is probably dirtier than our toilet. “If an alien came from space and studied the bacterial counts, he probably would conclude he should wash his hands in your toilet and go to the bathroom in your sink.” He says that’s because the kitchen sink is a great place where E. coli(大肠杆菌)to live and grow since it’s wet and damp. Bacteria feed on the food that people put down the drain or—that’s left on dishes in the sink. To reset your sink’s bacteria count back to zero, you’d better regularly wash it with hot water and sanitize yoursink with special chemicals. In fact, you may want to do it every day or before preparing dinner.8. What is the purpose of the text?A. To show how to brush your teeth.B. To tell people the importance of health.C. To warn people of the invisible germs.D. To introduce a microbiology professor.9. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. Bathroom sinks are the dirtiest places.B. Bacteria are bad for people’s health.C. Why bacteria spread through the air.D. How bacteria spread in the bathroom.10. What does the underlined word“that”in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The food.B. The toothbrush.C. The sink.D. The chemical.11. Why does Dr. Gerba mention the example of an alien?A. To tell us a fiction story of an alien studying bacteria.B. To show our kitchen sink may be dirtier than our toilet.C. To teach us how to reset sink’s bacteria count back to zero.D. To prove coli prefers to live in the kitchen and the drain.DAfter a year at sea, 16-year-old Laura Dekker can finally say, “Missionaccomplished!” Last month, she finished a daring trip around the world aboard her 38-foot boat, Guppy. Dekker, who is from theNetherlands, traveled more than 30,000 miles all by herself. She is the youngest person ever to sail around the globe alone.Dekker had wanted to lake on this challenge when she was even younger. She first tried to set sail at the age of 13,but a court in theNetherlandsstopped her. They said that she was too young to make such a risky trip by herself. But Dekker insisted she had the navigation skills and patience of an adult sailor.She finally took off on January 20, 2011. During her trip, Dekker battled loneliness, storms, and worries about pirates. But she also got to surf, scuba dive, and started a new hobby: playing the flute. Although Dekker didn’t spend all of her time at sea—she stopped at ports along the way—she did spend her 16lh birthday on the open ocean. To celebrate, she ate doughnuts for breakfast.But Dekker didn’t sail into the record books. Guinness World Records and the World Sailing Speed Record Council no longer recognize records for “youngest” sailors. They dropped the category in 2009 to discourage children fromattempting such dangerous feats (壮举). But that didn’t stop Dekker，who was born on a yacht during a seven-year world voyage undertaken by her parents.Dekker doesn’t mind that she won’t hold an official record. She says it was a personal goal, and she is happy she achieved it.“I am not disappointed at all that Guinness World Record won’t recognize my attempt.” Dekker wrote on her website. “I did not start on my trip to achieve any record…I did it just for myself.”12. Dekker wasn’t allowed to sail at the age of 13 because .A. people were concerned about her safetyB.she didn’t learn any sailing skills wellC. she had to continue her study at schoolD. she didn’t have enough patience for long trips13. What does the underlined word “accomplished” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Failed.B. Completed.C. Continued.D. Started.14. In 2009 records for youngest sailors were canceled in order to .A. set a higher sailing standard for teen sailorsB. stop children entering Guinness World RecordsC. encourage parents to sail with their childrenD. prevent children making dangerous attempts15. What could be the best title for this passage?A. A New Guinness World Record in SailingB. A New Sailing Standard for Teen SailorsC. A Teen Girl Sailing Alone Aroundthe WorldD. The Youngest Sailor in Guinness World Records第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Do you want to try something new?Check out one of these hot new restaurants.Fast BestFast food doesn't have to be junk food, as this café proves. Do you fancy a really good hamburger made with the best ingredients, or old-fashioned fish and chips fried to perfection, all on the table in super-quick time? Speed and quality are important here, and the prices aren't bad either.Your Local Caff (小餐馆)Remember when cafés served full English breakfasts—sausages, beans, fried bread, bacon and eggs—with a strong cup of tea? Well, this place still does and you can have your breakfast at any time you like during the day while you listen to your favourite tunes from the 1980s.Last Days of the RajA centrally located Indian restaurant, perfect for eating before or after the cinema or a show. In summer enjoy your meal in the beautiful garden. The most popular dishes are lamb and chicken cooked with mild, medium or hot spices. For brave customers there is extra hot!The Chocolate BoxThe owner of this small café used to cook all kinds of food, but then she realised she preferred desserts to anything else.

The explosion of technology has made teaching outside the traditional classroom possible for teachers and has provided learners with easy access to course materials. Its attractiveness, benefits, and challenges are addressed.In April, 2005, I was approached by a student who was interested in our doctoral program. However, the first question out of her mouth was, “Do you offer any online courses?” Later that day, as I was reading the conference program guide trying for interesting presentations, I noticed many workshops on web-based learning and online education. I later attended two of those workshops and met several professors from different universities who had either taught online courses for quite some time or who were discovering the best practice for teaching online. These experiences helped me realize at least to some extent the degree of growth in online education.My responsibilities for the term included gaining more understanding of online education. Consequently, I made several attempts to enrich my knowledge of distance learning and online teaching. I consulted with my colleagues who were teaching online courses. This helped me recognize the importance of getting materials prepared even before the start of a term. I also learned that online courses may consume more time than regular classroom teaching. And I attended several workshops regarding online education and established a network with those who were involved in online programs at other universities. I will consider these people as my consultants as I begin to design my own online course. Also, I conducted a brief survey with 15 students and two faculty members who had taken or taught an online course before to understand their experience. Eventually I completed a literature review which gave me the foundation and the background of understanding the need for online education.4. What benefits the development of online education?A. Teachers’ good teaching ability.B. Lack of traditional classrooms.C. Learners’ access to free courses.D. The rapid advance of technology.5. Why did the author take a student for example?A. To show students’ love for the doctoral program.B. To persuade learners of traditional education.C. To explain the growing trend of online education.D. To predict the future of the teaching career.6. What caused the author to know more about online education?A. The appetite for knowledge.B. The professional responsibilities.C. The requirement of research.D. The colleagues’ encouragement.7. What is the author’s attitude to online education?A. Carefree.B. Doubtful.C. Supportive.D. Unwilling.CMost kids can walk into a library or bookstore and find hundreds of books to read. But it’s not that simple for kids who are blind. They read in a different way. Jenny Lee and other braille (盲文) transcribers take the printed words of a book and change them into a code of raised dots. Blind people can read these dots with their fingers. To know what braille feels like, take a ballpoint pen and press hard onto a piece of paper. Now turn the paper over and touch the raised dot made by the pen point.When Lee first saw the dots of the braille alphabet, she wondered if she’d ever be able to read and write them easily. She took a class and practised hard for about six months before she passed the final exam: she had to convert 35 pages of a book into braille. Today, Lee works for a publisher. One of her jobs is to change children’s books into braille.To do this, Lee first types the story into a computer and then uses a computer program to translate it into the braille code. Next, she looks over the translation several times to make sure it’s mistake-free. After that, a copy of the braille story is printed with a special printer. Then Lee and a proofreader work together to find and correct any mistakes. When a book is ready, many copies of it are printed. Afterwards, some are sold through websites and others are sent to libraries.Sometimes, going over a story again and again gets tiring. That’s when Lee takes a break. Several of Jenny Lee’s co-workers, who are blind, use guide dogs. When the animals aren’t working, Lee likes spending a few minutes with them. To her, playing with dogs “is always apick-me-upin the middle of the day”.“I love this mission,” Lee says. “Through my brain power and my fingers, I am putting the dots into some kid’s hands.”8. How does the writer explain what braille feels like?A. By explaining what braille words look like.B. By describing how blind people read books.C. By asking readers to experience it themselves.D. By giving examples of different braille words.9. What was Lee’s first reaction to braille?A. She was excited to get a new skill.B. She was amazed at the clever idea.C. She realized she could teach it herself.D. She believed it would be difficult to learn.10. What does the underlined word “pick-me-up” in paragraph 4 most probably mean?A A discussion to release work stress.B. Something to improve one’s appetite.C. Something to help restore one’s spirit.D. A free ride accompanied with a guide dog.11. What does Lee think of her job?A. Profitable and hopeful.B. Tiring but meaningful.C. Relaxing and helpful.D. Boring but challenging.DThree years ago, a group of researchers at Cornell University Food and Brand Lab had a guess. They knew that many apples being served to kids as part of the National School Lunch Program were ending up in the trash, almost untouched. But unlike others, they wondered if the reason was more complicated than simply that the kids didn’t want the fruit.They thought the fact that the apples were being whole, rather than sliced (切片的), was doing the fruit no favor. And they wanted to prove this idea.They carried out a study at eight schools and found that fruit consumption (消费) jumped by more than 60 percent when apples were served sliced. They then made a follow-up study at six other schools, which not only showed the same result, but further supported. The whole apple consumption at schools that served sliced apples reduced by about 50 percent than before.Based on these results, it seems that even the simplest forms of inconvenience can influence us. Sliced apples just make more sense for kids. The hardest part is getting kids to start eating fruit, and that’s exactly why sliced apples are the way to go. A child holding a whole apple has to break the skin, eat around the core (果核), and deal with the inconvenience of holding a large fruit. These problems might seem silly or unimportant, but they’re important when you’re missing teeth or have braces (牙箍), as so many kids do.Sometimes what seems like a really small inconvenience actually makes a huge difference.12. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A. Lots of apples served to kids were wasted.B. Researcher supported the lunch program.C. Apples are not the only acceptable fruit for kids.D. The lunch program was well worth spreading.13. What did researchers want to prove?A. Kid didn’t want the fruits.B. Kids favored the whole apples.C. Kids preferred to the sliced apples.D. Kid’s eating habits influenced fruit consumption.14. According to the study, we can know________.A. 14 schools served sliced fruitsB. kids have problems eating the whole applesC. eating fruits must be healthy for childrenD. few kids are missing teeth or have braces15. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Form matters more than taste.B. Apples are beneficial to each kid.C. The way fruit is eaten links kids’ growth.D. Inconvenience probably makes a difference.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

try，they have discovered many wonderful places across the world．SantoriniIt is one of the most amazing places of the world in Greece．It is said to be completely destroyed in the 16th century and since then it is rebuilding and it's beauties are increasing with every passing day．The most ideal period of the year to go to this miracle is from pril to September．There are a lot of island in this city and sunbathing around any of these would be an unforgettable experience．There is a natural pool which attracts the tourists from the world．RomeThe ancient city of Rome in Italy is also called the center of western civilization．This city was discovered in 753 BC．The coliseum in Rome is the world's most iconic （标志性的）monument．There is no one who wishes to return from Rome without seeing this monument．Moreover，the Pantheon and Pizza Navona are also places worth visiting in Rome．BarcelonaThe city of Barcelona is a good mixture of modern as well as ancient Roman civilization．It is also famous due to the Olympic Games that take place in it．It is much likea big village with enjoyable streets for walking．IstanbulThe Turkish city of Istanbul is a beautiful and fascinating place to visit in lifetime．This city joins Asian and European civilizations．It is also an old city with the old name of Constantinople．It is the cultural，economical，historical center of Turkey．（1）Which city connects

historical attraction．（3）What do the four places have in Common？A．They are cities with an ancient history．B．They are surrounded with many islands？C．They are the origins of human civilization．D．They are located in the center of their countries．2．（10分）Rock band kiss has played for millions of people around the world over more than four decades．But today，Kiss perform for a new type of audience in water off the coast of Australia：great white sharks．The concert，presented by Airbnb，is part of a 12 hour tour to an offshore location near Port Lincoln，Australia，which is known as a feeding ground for great white sharks．Rather than using the traditional "chum"﹣﹣﹣fish parts and blood in the water to attract the sharks ﹣﹣﹣organizers hope the music will draw them in．This admittedly "over﹣the﹣top experience" was created "to educate people and show them that sharks are worthy respects，and protection，" according to Airbnb．Throughout the day，concert goers will observe sharks and other marine life in their natural habitat．The on﹣going，driving boat of rock music﹣especially the dense，base thrumming beats of hard rock and heavy metal﹣can attract wild sharks in the open ocean，as Matt﹣Waller，shark tour operator and owner of adventure Bay Charters in Australia，discovered in 2011．Waller had heard from a shark tour colleague who experimented with underwater speakers that the sharks behaved differently in the presence of music﹣particularly rock music．Over time，Waller tried many types of music，with varying degrees of success in attractingsharks．In 2015，when the Discovery Channel filmed Waller playing heavy metal underwater，the music attracted the attention of two great white sharks：one was 12 feet long，and one was 14 feet long．Now，Waller is partnering with Airbnb lo broadcast Kiss' music to great whites．While the Kiss show is certainly an unusual approach for bringing people and sharks together，perhaps the common ground of rock and roll will encourage a greater awareness of sharks as creatures that are vital to ocean ecosystems and deserving of respect rather than fear．Waller told Live Science．（1）Why does kiss hold the concert？A．To confirm a former experimentB．To change human attitudes to music．C．To introduce the sharks to the public．D．To encourage positive awareness of sharks．（2）What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refer to？A．The performers．B．The concertgoers．C．The sharks．D．The tourists．（3）Which of the following may Matt Waller agree？A．Shark tours should be prohibited．B．Rock music can attract wild sharks．C．Humans should keep away from sharks．D．The Kiss approach is not worth following．（4）What can be the best title of the text？A．Great White Sharks Get a Concert from Kiss．B．Rock Band Kiss Holds a Concert in Australia．C．Great White Sharks Care about Music．D．Airbnb Comes into Rock﹣roll Market．3．（10分）Today is Friday the 13th of the year．Even though the date is known throughoutWestern culture as one associated with negative things，it's really just another Friday on the calendar．There is no scientific evidence to suggest this day has an increased chance of bad occurrences compared with other days．But that doesn't mean scientists haven't tried to find any．In Thomas W．Lawsons 1907 novel．Friday，the Thirteenth a businessman takes advantage of the superstition （迷信）and creates a Wall Street panic on the day．The book was the likely inspiration for a number of scientific examinations of stock market returns on Fridays that fell on the 13th day of the month compared with all other Fridays．In 2001，business professor at Trinity College Dublin in Ireland，published his analysis of a few of those studies and found several flaws．The studies had narrow assessments overall，focusing on just a few markets or a single stock exchange．But when he analyzed the data as a whole，Lucey found that internationally，with few exceptions returns on Friday the 13th were typically just a little higher than returns on other Fridays．The scientific evidence for cause and effect may not be there but people may still alter their behavior on Friday the 13th in a way that causes certain things to happen．The way people drive might be different from their usual．But the few studies that have examined traffic accidents haven't found statistically significant trends to suggest Friday the 13th is more dangerous than other Fridays on the road．The science is clear：Friday the 13th is a normal day．Yet，people continue to think this is meant to be a bad day．"Psychologically，superstitions arise from the desire to influence external events，decrease anxiety and reduce uncertainty，" said Neil Dagnall，a psychologist at Manchester Metropolitan University．Besides，I don't think people know often why they do things．"（1）Why is Friday the 13th usually associated with negativity？A．The date increases possibility of risk．B．Scientists have found enough evidence．C．Culture has taught its people to believe so．D．Things always go bad or worse on the day．（2）What did Brian's Lucey's studies focus on？A．Novels relating to Friday the 13th．B．Written records of Wall Street panic．C．Analysis of successful business cases．D．Stock market returns on Friday the 13th．（3）In Paragraph 3，the few studies are mentioned to show that．A．human fear of Friday the 13th is no1 necessary．B．traffic accidents can be avoided on other Fridays．C．people tend to behave strangely on Friday the 13th．D．staying at home is recommended on Friday the 13th．（4）What does Neil Dagnall think of superstitions？A．They can lead the endless human desires．B．They can help people to reduce anxiety．C．They cause great harm to physical healthD．They produce a sense of controlling everything．4．（10分）Many hobbies are suitable for transforming into a side business，or even a fully developed one．Even though it can take some time to establish yourself in most of these markets，it's usually well worth the effort in the long run．However，there are various considerations you'll need to make along the way．First things first﹣﹣﹣just because you're good at something it doesn't mean it's a good idea to start a business around it．Some hobbies are just that hobbies，and they don't have a serious potential for anything more than that．You may be the best at making mini house from matches，but how many of those have been sold over the last couple of months？Do enough research beforehand to verify that there are actually enough people out there who would have an interest in buying your product or service in the first place．Once the business is up and running，you'll need to spend the word yourself．Don't expect people to come rushing through your doors．Promotion is something that you'll ideally start thinking about before you've even set up the company．It's a highly individual process and depend on the kind of product you're selling，your local area，as well as the resources you have available for your business．But no matter how much you can afford on promotion，it's something that must always be the most important until you've established yourselfproperly．Once you're there，things will start flowing more smoothly．But you'll still have to keep your marketing game active because it's easy to get overtaken by your competitors if you're not careful．Make sure that you are always pushing hard on that front and consider experimenting with some more recent solutions as well．（1）What does the author advise in Paragraph 1？A．Setting up a side business as a try．B．Coming up with some creative ideas．C．Doing research on a potential market．D．Taking a serious hobby into consideration．（2）What does the underlined word "verily" in Paragraph 2 probably mean？A．Illustrate．B．Check．C．Announce．D．Indicate．（3）What can be learned from Paragraph 3？A．Not everyone can afford business promotion．B．Advertisement is not necessary in your local area．C．Resources play an important role on product sale．D．Promotion is a key factor to business development．（4）What does the text mainly tell us？A．Taking up your own hobbies．B．Setting up a successful business．C．Turning your hobby into a business．D．Establishing yourself in the market．第二节（共1小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5．（12.5分）My dad passed away yesterday and I am processing everything．It's hard to try and find positivity in my pain，but my Dad taught me so much when he was healthy，and whenhe wasn't I wanted to share some of the lessons．Be on the phone less．This one seems strange but in his final moments I was all in，no checking my phone because it really didn't matter （1）This was a moment I needed to remember and I would have regretted it if I was distracted in this part of his journey．（2）Sometimes we need people to lean on．My mom and dad needed a lot of help．I needed a lot of help．We were surrounded by people willing to help us and instead of shutting them out like we've done in the past，we let them in and it was exactly what we needed．Not everyone will understand your experience．（3）Just knowing people are here for us means a lot，but I also know that no one will fully understand my experience and that's okay as we are all different．Family is not necessarily the people who brought you into this world．I am adopted and I know we chose each other．（4）I loved my father very much．There's nothing more important than being with the ones you love．I was able to hold my Dad when he took his last breath．My Mom and I made sure that my Dad knew he was loved through his journey．（5）Everything else is secondary．A．all that mattered

her seventeen years on this earth，Shreyaa Venkat has done more to help the planet and the people than many adults two，three and four times her age．The non﹣profit organization she founded．NEST1US，has helped tens of thousands of people in the United States．Venkat's enthusiasm for helping others started as soon as she could walk，as her parents active volunteers themselves，brought her along on their various projects．By fifth grade，she started organizing her own service projects in her community．"I like doing good things but I'd rather do then with friends，" she explains．"It brings me so much happiness and joy to help．"NEST4US was born when she realized how much food waste there is，how many hungry people there are．"There was a homeless man standing on a corner in D．C．and he was holding a sign that said ‘Hungry Need Food．" she remembers．"So I gave him my lunch ﹣it was just a banana，and a water﹣and his whole face just lit up．I found out he hadn't eaten in a week! It was so easy，it only took me 30 seconds，and it really helped him．"Hunger is just one of the many harsh realities of living on the streets．But the case of this small act inspired her to find a way to get food to the people who need it the most．True，this is a question politicians，community and religious leaders，and others have been wrestling with for thousands of years．But she didn't overthink it；she decided to just act．Paragraph 1：How would she accomplish this huge task？_________Paragraph 2：As much as she has helped others，they've helped her too，she says．_______。
