AOne day，Mr．Li was reading a book in his office after school．To his surprise，a ball flew in suddenly and hurt him on the head．He took the ball to the window，but he only saw a group of boy students running away quickly and disappearing in a minute．He sat down again and continued his reading．As it got dark，it was time for him to leave for home．Looking at the ball，he wondered what to do with it．He knew the owner of the ball must be nearby and wished to get it back．He went downstairs and walked to the playground．It was at the center of the playground that he placed the ball with a piece of paper，on which he wrote “Be c areful next time！”．Then he walked away．The next morning，as Mr．Li opened the office door，he found the same piece of paper on the floor．Some words were added after his words：“Thank you for your kindness．Anyway，you are a clever fellow．”21．What happened while Mr．Li was reading in his office？A．The window was broken by a ball．B．A ball hurt him on the head．C．A ball hit the window．D．The door was broken by a ball．22．Why did the owner of the ball run away quickly？A．He was afraid of Mr．Li．B．He wanted to get the ball back．C．He wanted to go home．D．He went to look for the ball．23．How did Mr．Li deal with the ball？A．He took it home．B．He put it in his office．C．He put it back on the playground．D．He had no idea about it．24．According to the passage，we can know that ________．A．Mr．Li is interested in reading B．Mr．Li is too hard on his students C．Mr．Li is good at playing sports D．Mr．Li is a clever teacher with kindnessBsent a specialist medical team to Mail on25．When did the terrorist attack happen in Mali？A．On June 2，2016．B．On June 4，2016．C．On May 31，2016．D．On June 6，2016．26．What is special at this summer’s Olympics in Rio？A．Athletes who represent a country are allowed to compete in this summer’s OlympicsB．A team of ref ugees can compete at this summer’s Olympics in Rio．C．A refugee can represent his or her own country to compete in Rio Olympics．D．This piece of news sends all the athletes a message of hope．27．How many people died in Guangxi during the floods in the last three days？A．3 B．592 C．27,800 D．2828．According to the news above，which of the following is TRUE？A．These three pieces of news are reported by China Daily．B．Many people were affected in Guangxi because of the earthquake．C．There may be over 10 members in a team of refugees at this summer’s Olympics．D．The government of China is trying to cure the casualties in Mali’s terrorist attack．CLast week，Chicago became the first city in the US to join the “Lights Out Plan”．People turned off the lights in t he city’s tallest buildings，so that thousands of birds could get to their winter homes．Every year in autumn，some birds fly over Chicago on their way to the south，and come back the next spring．Lights mean danger to birds．Birds find their way by looking at the stars in the sky．Lights in tall buildings are so bright that birds may mistake them as stars．This means they can not find the right way to go home．This month，about 300 types of birds are flying over Chicago to go back to the south to live through the cold winter．Birds fly to warmer places for a few reasons．Many birds cannot live in the cold，so they fly to warmer places．But there are other reasons，too．Birds need to look for food in the south．Another reason is that they want to have baby birds．Many birds like to have their baby birds in the same “house” they lived in last year，so they fly back there．There are about 9,000 kinds of birds in the world，and about 600 kinds of birds migrate （迁徙）．Some birds can fly a very long way．Sometimes they fly to other countries．We have fewer birds today because there are fewer places for birds．29．Why did people in Chicago turn off their last week？A．Because people wanted to save money．B．Because people liked the dark night．C．Because people were a afraid that birds would make much noise．D．Because people were a afraid that birds would lose their way．30．What does the underlined word “migrate” mean in Chinese？A．迁徙B．定居C．冬眠D．重生31．Today we have fewer birds because __________．A．lots of birds are often ill B．people kill lots of birdsC．there are fewer places for birds D．other animals eat them32．Which of the following statements is NOT true？A．All birds fly to warmer places every year．B．Some birds have to fly to warmer places in autumn．C．Some birds can fly a long way to other countries．D．About 600 kinds of birds migrate in the world．DIn 1977, a dead author of detective stories saved the life of a 19-month-old baby in a most unusual way. The author was Agatha Christie, one of the most successful writers of detective stories in the world.In June 1977, a baby girl became seriously ill in Qatar, near Saudi Arabia. Doctors were unable to find out the cause of her illness with confidence, so she was sent to Hammersmith Hospital in London. She was then only semi-conscious and on the "Dangerously Ill" list. A team of doctors hurried to examine the baby only to discover that they, too, were confu sed by the very unusual symptoms (症状). While they were discussing the baby's case, a nurse asked to speak to them."Excuse me," said Nurse Marsha Maitlan, "but I think the baby is suffering from thallium (铊) poisoning.""What makes you think that?" Dr. Brown asked. "Thallium poisoning is extremely rare." "A few days ago, I was reading a novel called A Pale Horse by Agatha Christie," Nurse Maitlan explained. "In the book, somebody uses thallium poison, and all the symptoms are described. They're exactly the same as the baby's.""You're very thoughtful and you may be right," another doctor said. "We'll carry out some tests and find out whether it's thallium or not."Tests showed that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium, a rare metallic substance used in making special glass. Once they knew the cause of the illness, the doctors were able to give the baby the correct treatment. She soon recovered and was sent back to Qatar. Later it was reported that the poison might have come from an insecticide (杀虫剂) used in Qatar.33. The baby was sent to London because _____.A. she was born thereB. the hospitals in Qatar were full at that timeC. she was the daughter of a doctor in LondonD. the Qatar doctors were not sure whether they could cure her34. As far as we can tell from the passage, Agatha Christie _____.A. had never met this babyB. had spent a long time studying the baby's caseC. visited the baby in the hospital at HammersmithD. gave Nurse Maitlan some advice on the phone35. It seems likely from the passage that the baby's illness had something to do with _____.A. a dangerous pair of glassesB. the water in QatarC. a harmful substance used to kill insectsD. a dead writer第二节（共5小题，每小题2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。

Some take over-the- counter (非非非非) medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies (非非) like herbal tea or chicken soup. Yet here is the tough truth about the common cold: nothing really cures it.So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work? According to James Taylor, professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week, improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so it’s easy to believe it’s medicine rather than time that deserves the credit, USA Today reported.It still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet are powerless against something so common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figuring out why. To understand it, you first need to know how antiviral (非非非非) drugs work. They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw (非非), which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3-D model to study its surface before they can design an antiviral drug that is effective enough.The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus (非非非) A and B. But they didn’t find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C, until 2006. All three of them contribute to the common cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B have little effect when used against C.“This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinovirus,” study leader Professor Ann Palmenberg at University of Wisconsin-Madison, US, told Science Daily.Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists have finally built a highly-detailed 3-D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected, different from that of other cold viruses.With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon, we may no longer have to waste our money on medicines that don’t really work.(1)What does the author think of popular remedies for a common cold?A.They are quite effective.B.They are slightly helpful.C.They still need to be improved.D.They actually have no effect.(2)How do antiviral drugs work?A.By breaking up cold viruses directly.B.By changing the surface structures of the cold viruses.C.By preventing colds from developing into serious diseases.D.By absorbing different kinds of cold viruses at the same time.(3)What can we infer from the passage?A.The surface of cold viruses looks quite similar.B.Scientists have already found a cure for the common cold.C.Scientists were not aware of the existence of rhinovirus C until recently.D.Knowing the structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure.(4)What is the best title for this passage?A.Drugs against cold virusesB.Helpful home remediesC.No current cure for common coldD.Research on cold viruses13.（6分）Wood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material.It is cheap，durable，easily available，and most importantly，environmentally sustainable.The one thing it is not，is transparent! Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology the material may even be able to add that feature to its already impressive list.Lead researcher rs Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices.The team began by pulling out the wood’s lignin(木质素).The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer(聚合物)and baked at a temperature of 158°F for four hours.The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also，almost transparent.The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood.While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chips，the transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications.The researchers，who revealed their findings in Biomacromolecules on April 11，picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light，or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light withoutsacrificing privacy.Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings. Berglund also thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels.The semitransparent material would be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor，thus resulting in better solar efficiency.Additionally，substituting the currently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturers improve their carbon footprint and lower the cost.They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use.1.What does the underlined part“that feature”in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.Cheap.B.Durable.C.Sustainable.D.Transparent.2.Which of the following is true according to the text?A.Berglund got the idea of transparent wood while making paper.B.Varying the amount of the polymer changes the wood’s hardness.C.The transparent wood would be used only for homes and buildings.D.The cost of making the transparent wood still needs to be cut down.3.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The bright future of the transparent wood.B.The wood’s role in the design of solar panels.C.The disadvantages of the currently used glass.D.Solar energy manufacturers’ carbon footprint.三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）14.（10分）When big news breaks,it's easy to get caught up in following the story online.The Internet can be a place to find useful information. 1 Helping kids understand the news and how to separate fact from fiction is an important job for parents and educators.Here’s some advice that parents can offer kids to help them be quicker to judge as they consume news online.2 In the rush to cover stories,reporters make mistakes,officials don't always have correct information and tidbits(八卦新闻）that sound reasonable often get passed around before anyone has checked them for accuracy.Use social media wisely.Some say Twitter is a great source of news in the first few minutes of a tragedy. 3 On the other hand,Facebook can be a great way to connect with friends affected by events in the news and to spread personal news within a more limited circle.Be skeptical. 4 After the Boston Marathon bombing,NBC Sports reported that some runners kept running all the way to the hospital to donate blood for the victims.Not true.There are plenty of websites devoted to exposing false news stories.The Washington Post also has a Fact Checker column that delivers claims made by public officials and politicians.Visit them to find out if a story is true.Keep it age-appropriate.Kids aren’t always ready to digest big tragic news--especially if the news is about kids,such as school shootings or abuses.The constant repetition of information can be confusing for younger kids,and at the beginning of a news event,parents might not be able to offer any correct answers. 5A.Remember,breaking news is often wrong.B.It also can be the source of misinformation.C.If something sounds too good to be true,it probably is.D.The government should take measures to prevent false news.E.However,after that it just becomes messy and largely inaccurate.F.With social media at your fingertips,it's convenient to express your opinion.G.Kids who are eager to learn more about certain events can check kid-guided news sources.四、完形填空（本题共计1小题，总分20分）15.（20分）In the summer before I entered middle school, I read the book They Cage the Animals at Night. It’s a story about Jennings, a boy living in various orphanages（孤儿院）with only his stuffed animal（毛绒玩具）, Doggie, for companionship. It’s a fascinating book, but little did I know how it would__1___my life and the lives of others.One day, as I looked across my room at the pile of stuffed animals, a(n)___2____came to me.
