People use real money to buy Web money. Then they buy clothes for their online characters or services for their online pets with it. And these fancy things will cost QQ fans more in the future.The government will put a tax (税) of 3% on online sales. For example, if QQ users pay 100 yuan for 110 QQ coins, they will have to spend 103 yuan in the future. The extra (额外的) three yuan is tax.Beijing was the first city to carry out the policy. Online games have to pay the tax, too. A number of players make money by spending a lot of time on the games to gain powers (获得能量), and then selling them.Experts said that online trade grow fast. There is more than 10 billion yuan of real money in online trade a year in China.However, the gov ernment’s new move has become a hot topic among Internet users around the country. In a survey by more than 70% of about 3,000 surveyed were against it. They said that the tax is too much.But supporters said the government’s better management (管理) of the Internet would help it become healthier. They believe the new move would help stop online identity theft (账号偷窃).1．We can learn from the passage that QQ coins are _____.A．a kind of game software B．a kind of Web moneyC．some fancy clothes D．some online pets2．The Chinese government will put a tax of _____ on online sales.A．3% B．10% C．11% D．15%3．Which city was the first to carry out the policy?A．Shanghai.

D．Shenyang.4．The underlined word "move" means "_____" in Chinese.A．移动B．搬家C．措施D．迁移5．We can learn from the passage that _____.A．the players don't have to pay the taxB．many Internet users think the tax is too heavyC．only 20% of about 3,000 Internet users are against this policyD．the new move will cause online identity thefB14、A 12-year-old girl from Virginia, US, never thought that a simple message she put online could bring her big problems. She posted the words, “Killing. Meet me in the library Tuesday”, with three emojis(表情符号) of a gun, a knife and a bomb(炸弹) on Instagram, a social media(社交媒体). She was told that she broke the law because of threatening(威胁) her school.This problem is not far away from us. Not long ago, Ni Hanxiang, a Chinese student at a university in the US, was sent back to China after expressing on social media that he would kill his teachers if he failed to pass his exams.In China, posting threatening words online is also against the law. In 2013, Wu Hongfei, a singer, got into trouble for saying on weibo that she wanted to blow up a building.“Threatening happens not only face to face but also through the Internet, social media and the telephone,” said Mr. Cao, a lawyer from Chongqing. “Although the law of China protects people’s right of free speech, it doesn’t include words that threaten others’ lives and national safety.”“Some people may not mean to threaten. They may just be trying to say “I’m strong”, said Fred Pratt, a lawyer from the US.The girl’s mother said her daughter was a good kid who had never been in trouble before. Ni Ha nxiang also said he didn’t realize that what he put online was so serious.“But not knowing the law doesn’t mean the law will treat you any differently if you break it,” says David Allen Green, a lawyer from the UK. So, do you think we’d better spend a mi nute or two thinking about the words or emojis we use on social media before we press “send”?1．The 12-year-old girl from Virginia put the words “Killing. Meet me in the library Tuesday”, with three emojis________.A．in her own diary B．in a letter to her friendC．on a social media D．on the wall of the library2．Ni Hanxiang was sent back to China ________.A．because he broke the US law B．because he wasn’t honestC．after he killed his teachers D．after he blew up a building3．From this passage, we can infer(推断) that ________.A．Fred Pratt thinks some people may not mean to threatenB．the girl’s mother didn’t think her daughter was a bad childC．Cheating in an examination at school may get you into troubleD．Putting threatening words on QQ may bring you problems4．This passage mainly wants to tell us that _______.A．we shouldn’t break the US law if we study at a university in the USB．students and singers shouldn’t post words or emojis on social mediaC．students should study hard at school and not use the Internet too muchD．we should be careful when we send words or emojis on social mediaC15、Do you ever throw away food at home? Have you ever thought about what happens to the food that shops and supermarkets don’t sell? Well, you might be shocked (震惊) to find out that nearly one third of food produced for human gets lost or wasted. What’s more, around 800 million people in the world do not have enough food to lead a healthy life.Many people in the UK and across the world are trying to do something about this imbalance and make use ofthrown-out food that can be perfectly eaten. For example, there is a cafe in Leeds (UK) whose meals are all created using unsold food from supermarkets, including a lot of vegetables, fruit, fish and other things. This unwanted food is turned into delicious soups and all kinds of dishes that feed the hungry people of Leeds. Customers simply pay what they can afford, or help with the washing up. In just ten months, 10,000 people were fed at this cafe, using twenty tons of unwanted food!Also, last year the UK’s first food waste supermarket opened. The supermarket is near Leeds and works on a “pay as you feel”; customers pay whatever they want for the produce. The stock (库存) changes daily but you can usually find things such as fresh vegetables, fruit and milk there. Some low-income families have said that it has changed their lives.“Fuel for School” is another food waste project. Surplus (多余的) food from supermarkets such as vegetables, fruit and bread is used to feed hungry schoolchildren whose families may not be able to afford to buy them lunch.I lived in Leeds for three years, and have had lunch at a food waste cafe, and it was delicious. I couldn’t believe that it was all food that supermarkets had thrown away! I have also taken part in projects such as “Foodcycle”, using supermarkets’ unwanted food to cook meals for poor people.More cafes like this are being opened in other parts of the UK, and it is now becoming popular in the world. I think this is an amazing ac t as food waste is one of the world’s biggest problems. I also believe that the law should be changed, so that supermarkets don’t throw away so much perfectly good food!1．800 million people in the world can’t live a healthy life because of ______.A．unsold food B．unwanted foodC．being unable to work D．being short of food2．According to the passage, the writer agrees that ______.A．buying the waste food can protect the environmentB．all the people in the world make use of waste foodC．food waste in the world can be solved by the UK soonD．the government should make the law to stop food waste3．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?A．To encourage people to save food.B．To introduce some supermarkets in the UK.C．To share his personal experience in saving food.D．To explain why he cooked meals for poor people.D16、When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s mistake.” or “I know I’m late, but it’s not my fault; the car broke down.” It is probably not your mistake, but once you form the habit of blaming (指责) somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. Y ou have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how toremedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.Winners are great at solving problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague (同事) causes you problems on the job for being short of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame theperson. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t depend on the person. Y ou should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all about – creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and chances to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose mistake it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.1．（小题1）What does the underlined word “remedy” probably mean?A．Avoid. B．Accept.C．Improve. D．Consider.2．（小题2）When your colleague brings about a problem, you should ______.A．blame him for his being short of responsibilityB．find a better way to deal with the problemC．tell him to find the cause of the problemD．ask a more able colleague for help3．（小题3）What can be the best title for the passage?A．A Winner’s Secret. B．A Winner’s Chance.C．A Winner’s Problem. D．A Winner’s Progress.E17、An old man went to live with his son, his daughter-in-law, and a four-year-old grandson. The old man’s hands tremble d, his eyesight was very poor, and he couldn’t walk steadily(平稳地). The family ate together nightly at the dinner table.

I hated being called in class because I 1 like others to notice me. And if I wasnot told to have a seat 2 the teacher, I always chose to sit at the back of the classroom.All this changed after I joined a sports team. It began 3 a teacher suggested I join the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy idea because I didn’t have 4 good sense of balance. I didn’t think I have the ability to keep up with 5 in the team and they would laugh at me, 6 because the teacher kept insisting on (坚持) my “going for it”, I decided to give a try.Getting up the courage to try was only the half of it!

Sometimes I’d get co nfused (迷惑的) and take a shot at the wrong direction —8 made me feel really silly. 9 , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to learn the game, do my best at each practice course, and not be too hard on myself for the things I di dn’t know.I practiced and practiced.

Last week, the watch was firstly introduced by Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. The price of the watch will differ from $349 to $1,099, depending on its size, strap and whether it is a sports or regular version.Apple engineers and designers have put in a lot of thought and hard work into creating this "small screen" on your wrist(手腕). The "sensor" on the screen not only detects your finger, but knows the difference between when you are tapping, and when you are pressing harder.The watch also has “hapt ic feedback(触觉反馈)”. You can send personal messages to your friend, such as drawing a star or a special sign with your fingers, or tapping the watch, say 3 times, and your friend will receive those taps on their wrist.Besides telling the time, the watch will use 'bluetooth' to connect with your iPhone and show calls or text messages that come in.According to Tim Cook, the watch may open up a whole new area of applications that we had never thought of. Somecar factories like BMW have developed an app that allows its car owners to open their cars with the watch. A 'Hotels' app may allow you to open the door to your hotel room without worrying about losing the smart-card. And finally, even airlines are jumping in--passengers may be able to simply wave their wrist to check into their flight.The biggest use of the watch, however, is as your personal fitness coach. The watch can measure your pulse (heartbeat) using a sensor at the bottom of the watch. It also has the same "accelerometer" as your iPhone, so it knows when you are moving, and also how much you are walking or running. It will remind you if you have been sitting for too long without much activity.Many stores are planning to stop selling the Nike, Jawbone and FitBit devices(设备) to welcome the Apple Watch. Will Apple Watch really replace these devices and make fitness much more fun?1．We can learn from the passage that the Apple Watch ________.A．is designed by Tim CookB．was brought into the market last weekC．sells at different prices for different coloursD．will come into the market this coming April2．With apple watch, you can ________.A．develop your own personal appB．connect your iphone with your ipadC．receive personal messages from your friends’ iphoneD．send personal messages to your friends’ apple watches3．Many stores are planning to stop selling FitBit devices because ________.A．all of the devices are sold outB．they cannot make fitness funC．they want to welcome the Apple WatchD．Apple Watch can replace FitBit devices completelyB14、A Father and a SonPassing through the Atlanta airport one morning, I caught one of those shuttles that take travelers from the main terminals (航站楼) to their boarding gates. Not many people consider them fun, but on this Saturday I heard laughter.At the front of the first shuttle were a man and his son.We had just stopped to let off passengers, and the doors were closing again. “Here we go! Hold on to me tight!” the father said. The boy, about five years old, made sounds of happiness.“Look out there!” the father said to his son. “See that pilot? I bet he’s walking to his plane.” The son turned his neck to look forward.As I was early for my flight, I decided to go back to the terminal. Where I went back again, I saw that the man and his son had returned too. I realized then that they hadn’t been heading for a flight, but had just been riding the shuttle.“I want to ride some more!”“More?” the father said, mock-angry but clearly pleased. “ You are not tired?”“This is fun!” his son said.“All right.” the father replied, when a door opened, we all got on.There are parents who can afford to send their children to Europe or Disneyland, and there are parents who live in million-dollar houses and give their children cars and swimming pools, yet something goes wrong.“Where are all those people going, Daddy?” the son asked.“All over the world,” came the reply.The other people in the airport were leaving for far destinations (终点) or arriving at the ends of their journeys. The father and son, though, were just riding this shuttle together, making it exciting, enjoying being together.So many troubles in this country. So many questions about what to do. Here was a father who cared about spending the day with his son and who had come up with this plan on a Saturday morning.The answer is so simple: parents who care enough to spend time, and to pay attention and to try their best. It doesn’t cost a cent, yet it is the most valuable thing in the world.The shuttle picked up speed, and the father pointed something out, and the boy laughed again.1．We can learn from the passage that ______.A．the father and his son were waiting for the flightB．the father got tired when his son wanted to ride the shuttle againC．the father told his son about the troubles in the countryD．the father spent the day with his son and enjoyed it2．The underlined word mock-angry means ______.A．feeling boredB．looking excitedC．not really angryD．not truly surprised3．From the story we can learn______.A．some times people don’t realize what they haveB．maybe the most valuable thing doesn’t cost muchC．children should stay with their parents more oftenD．parents should give their children a better lifeC15、Johnny lived with his parents in a small town. One day there was an earthquake near the town. Many houses were pulled down. Everyone thought that there would be another earthquake soon. They were worried that the second earthquake would be worse than the first.“We must send Johnny to a safe place.” Johnny’s mother said to her husband. “Many of our friends are sending their children to relatives in other towns.”“We’ll send him to my brother, Peter,” Johnny’s father said. “He lives a long way away. Johnny will be safe with him.”He telephoned Johnny’s uncle, Pe ter, and asked him if he would let Johnny live with him.“He’s a good boy,” he said, “ he won’t give you any trouble.”“All right,” Johnny’s uncle said, “but I can’t be accustomed to staying with kids at this moment. I enjoy living a very quiet and peacefu l life.”“You won’t know Johnny’s in the house,” his father told him.So Johnny, who was five,went to live with his uncle.Two days later, Johnny’s parents received a letter from Peter. It said, “I am returning the child. I can’t stand him.”根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

Well, that's what Mark Zuckerberg, CEO and founder of Facebook, just said he would do.Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan promised to give 90% of their Facebook shares to society. Right now that is about $ 45 billion, and they plan to donate the money to things like science and education.Many billionaires have done similar things. Bill Gates, creator of Microsoft, made The Giving Pledge, an activity in which billionaires promise to donate more than half of their wealth to charities. This started in 2010, and now 139 people from 15 countries joined it.But giving back and helping others isn't just for big billionaires.

I’m a Chinese girl. I study in Yuhua Middle School. Every morning I get up at 6:00. I have breakfast at 6:30. I go to school at 7:30 a.m.. Classes begin at 8:00 a.m.. We have four classes in the morning and two in the afternoon. I have lunch in the school canteen(餐厅) at 11:50 a.m.. Afternoon classes start at 12:30 and end at 2:30 p.m. After school we often play games. I get home at about 4:00 p.m. I have dinner at 5:30 p.m. In the evening I do my homework. Sometimes I watch TV.

How do we know that the stars are really huge balls of fire like the Sun and very far away? And how do we know that the Earth is a smaller ball turning round one of those stars, the Sun?The key to those questions is“ evidence"(证据). Sometimes evidence means actually seeing (or hearing, feeling, smelling…) that something is true. Astronauts have travelled far enough from the Earth to see with their own eyes that it is round. Sometimes our eyes need help The" evening star" looks like a bright twinkle in the sky, but with a telescope( 望远镜) you can see that it is a beautiful ball. Something that you learn by direct seeing(or hearing or feeling… )is called an observation(观察)Often evidence isn't just observation on its own, but observation always hides at the back of it. If there's been a murder, often nobody(except the murderer and the dead person!)actually observed it. But detectives(侦探)can gather together lots of other observations which may all point towards the suspect(嫌疑犯). If a person’s finger- prints match those found on a knife, this is evidence that he touched it. It doesn't prove(证明)that he did the murder, but it can help when it's joined up with lots of other evidence.Prediction helps to look for evidence. Scientists make a guess about what might be true. For example, if the world is really round, we can predict that any of us, going on and on in the same direction, should eventually find ourselves back where we startedPeople sometimes say that you must believe in feelings deep inside, but not all the inside feelings are real evidence. What can we do about all this? When somebody tells you something that sounds possible, think to yourself: "Is there any evidence for that? And, next time somebody tells you that something is true, why not say to them: What kind of evidence is there for that? "Remember ,always think carefully before you believe a word.1．Why does the writer use the example of a detective in Paragraph 3?A．To explain what prediction isB．To tell what observation is calledC．To introduce how detectives work.D．To prove evidence is not just observation2．The underlined "eventually "in Paragraph 4 meansA．probably B．finally C．completely D．luckily3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Prediction helps to prove something if it is true.B．What you see directly is real evidenceC．People should always believe their inside feelingsD．Astronauts find the Earth is round with a telescope.4．what's the best title of the passage?A．Evidence speaksB．Scientists make predictionsC．Inside feelings help get ideasD．Observation offers the factsD16、They say music is universal, and it seems to be true since wherever we go, we see people listening, playing or dancing to it. We tend to think that music is larger than our cultural differences and shows the deeper connections between us.But according to a recent study published in the Current Biology, music doesn’t speak to everyone. There is a condition, the researchers argue, called “musical anhedonia”. They say that those who have this condition may have few abilities to experience pleasure from music.For the study, 30 people listened to the same, mostly classical music pieces. They were then asked to complete a questionnaire on how they felt about the music. At the same time, the researchers measured their heart rate and skin reaction, which are considered physiological measures of feelings.According to the researchers, most of the people in the study got pleasure from the music. They had a quicker heartbeat and sweatedmore. However, a small number of them had very little and even no pleasant feeling while they were listening to the music. These people had none or very few of the physical signs which the others in the study experienced. The researchers say that this means people have different abilities to enjoy music and that “there are people whospec ifically can’t enjoy music at all”To study the condition more deeply, another group of scientists, at Columbia University, US, researched brain activities. They found that the key is the blood flow to the reward system in the brain. People who got less pleasure from music had comparatively lower blood flow to areas involved in the reward system of the brain when they were listening to music.The lower blood flow makes it more likely that the brain’s “reward system” will be inactive. And it will produce les s of the “pleasure chemical” dopamine. As a result, people get less pleasure from music.If the research is correct, according to National Public Radio, there are simply people who just don’t get music. They may get pleasure from many things, but a good tu ne isn’t one of them.1．The people who is called musical anhedonia _______.A．avoid listening to musicB．like to listen to certain types of music.C．can’t feel the pleasure that music brings to others.D．believe cultural differences are larger than music.2．What was the purpose of the study mentioned in Current Biology ?A．To learn what music people love the most.B．To learn how music influences people’s feelings.C．To understand the relationship between music and the body.D．To see whether music works in the same way for all people.3．What happened in the study when people listened to music?A．All of them had faster heartbeat and sweated more.B．Those who enjoyed music had slower blood flow.C．They showed different physical signs as the music changed.D．Those who enjoyed music had more dopamine produced.4．Which part of a magazine may the article appear in?A．Science. B．Sports. C．Health. D．Fashion.E17、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 present. 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 thinkabout 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.F18、Look at your classmates around you. Y ou all wear the same uniform and similar shoes, even similar haircut. Do you want to be different from them? A fashionable and useful backpack can be a great idea!Backpacks are lightweight and easy to carry on then go. They are great tools for students. They help you to stay organized and tidy. You can keep school things, books and personal items like cell phones and keys neatly(整洁地). With a special and cool backpack, you can also stand out among your classmates.Tourists also love backpacks. With convenient backpacks, backpackers can move freely from one place to another. Meanwhile, they can also free their hands to do other things like taking photos.But in the very beginning backpacks were not what we see today.It is thought that US hiker Dick Kelty invented the first modern backpack in 1951. He used nylon(尼龙) to make backpacks lightweight. Then he added shoulder straps(带子) and waist straps to transfer much of the weight to the hips(臀部).Today, backpacks come in different styles.Rolling backpacks have wheels on the bottom. Users can pull them along the ground if they are too heavy to carry on their shoulders.And with more people bringing notebook computers to school and work, backpacks also offer space for lightweight electronics. Most of them are in style and can be in good use.A backpack has already become a symbol of fashion in some way. So, why not carry your fashion with your backpack?1．What’s the writer’s idea for being different from oth er students?A．To wear surprising school uniforms.B．To get best grades.C．To own a fashionable backpack.D．To have a usual haircut.2．Students can use a wonderful backpack to _________.A．take photos B．lose weightC．stand higher D．keep school things3．Which of the following statement about the first backpack is NOT TRUE?A．It was invented in the 20th century.B．The inventor of it is an English hiker.C．It was made of cotton and nylon.D．It had shoulder straps and waist straps.4．How many new styles of backpacks are mentioned in this passage?A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.5．Where can we read this passage possibly?A．A fashion magazine. B．A supermarket poster.C．A school notice-board. D．A tour guidebook.Ⅴ.书面表达19、书面表达假设不久前你们学校为贫困地区的孩子们筹款举办了一次慈善行活动。

Are you more of a morning person? Or does your brain need a few hours to get going? A lot of research suggests that we should pay attention to our body clock. It can tell us what time of day we are best able to perform, according to the Wall Street Journal.When it comes to the human brain, many people work best later in the morning. This is because the body’s temperature takes time to rise through the day. Taking a warm shower when you wake up can help speed this up.But everyone’s body clock is diffe rent. Morning people will rise early and work better early in the day. Evening people will wake later but their brain will work better toward the end of the day.Research shows that we’re better at some activities at certain times of the day. Physical perf ormance is at its best between 3 pm and 6 pm, so it’s better to exercise later in the day.Between noon and 4 pm, people are getting tired. This is partly because we are slow to think or act after eating a big meal. Research also shows that we become sleepy around 2 pm.Finally, it is best to eat during our active periods. This allows our body to burn calories better and stops our blood sugar levels from getting too high.1．Many people perform best later in the morning because ___.A．they can’t get up very early B．the body’s temperature needs time to riseC．they have to take a shower first D．that’s when the brain wakes up2．Evening people had better ___.A．rise early and work in the morning B．rise late and work in the morningC．wake later and work better in the evening D．wake later and work after midnight 3．According to the research, which of the following is TRUE?A．It’s better to do exercise in the afternoon. B．We perform better after eating a big meal. C．Sleeping at 2 pm is not good for our health. D．Our body burns calories better at night. 4．What would be the best title for the story?A．Research about time B．The best time to do thingsC．Brain performance D．Different periods of a dayC15、Deng Yu：In 2050, China will be richer than it is now.

She lived in a lake. A woman lived in a small house near the lake with her two daughters. They were very poor. They worked hard all year round, but still, they lived a hard life and sometimes they even didn’t have enough money to buy food.The swan was sad to see that. She said to herself, “I’ll give one of my feathers to them each day, then they can live a happy life with the money selling my feathers.” That evening, she flew to the poor woman’s house and left a golden feather on the table without saying anything. From then on , the swan came every day and gave them a feather. The woman was very happy because their life was much better than before.But day after day, the woman became greedy(贪婪的). She said to her daughters, “The swan may fly away one day. If so, we will be poor again. We should take all her feathers when she comes next time.”“Oh no, Mom!” cried the daughters. “This will hurt the swan. She helps us a lot!” But the mother wouldn’t listen. When the swan came as usual, the mother caught her and took all her feathers. But suddenly, the golden feathers changed into chicken feathers.Then, the golden swan said, “Poor Mother, I came to help you, but you wa nted to kill me. Now, I am leaving and will never come back. Never be greedy!” With these words, the swan flew away.根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。

Do people have the same dreams? Why do I dream?There are many questions about dreams. We dream during the REM(快速眼动) stage of sleep. We have about five periods of REM sleep during the night. The first REM cycle(周期) lasts about 10 minutes. As the night goes on, the REM cycle gets longer. By early morning, the REM cycle can last up to 90 minutes. Usually, it is in this last REM cycle that we remember our dreams.Dreams change as people age. People may have several dreams each night. Some are like films and usually in color. They come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something and trying to find the answer. Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can't remember the dreams clearly.It is reported that too much dreaming is bad for our health. The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is hard at work. That is why we may have a long sleep and still feel tired when we wake up.Do you feel a little sleepy after lunch? Well, that's normal. Your body naturally slows down then. What should youdo about it? Don't drink coffee, take a nap,_instead. There are many advantages of a daily nap. First of all, you can remember things better and make fewer mistakes. Also, you can learn things more easily after taking a nap. A 20－minute nap can reduce your pressure. Finally, a nap can make you cheerful.But there are some simple rules you should follow about taking a nap. First, take a nap at noon, about eight hours after you wake up. In general, a 20－minute nap is the best. If you sleep longer, you may fall into a deep sleep. After waking up, you will feel worse. Also, you should set an alarm clock. That way, you can fully relax during the nap. You don't have to keep looking at the clock so that you don't oversleep. Now, next time you feel sleepy after lunch, don't get stressed.

It was a moonless night, and a heavy snow was falling. She remembered back to when she had first started teaching out in small communities. In those days she had always picked up hitchhikers (搭便车者), until the day her sister told her of a friend who had been shot (中枪) in the head by a hitchhiker, all because she had stopped out of kindness to help him during a storm.Her family didn’t become concerned (关心的) about her safety over the hitchhikers until the family heard the promise: “No more hitchhikers!” The snow that n ight was making her think back to this.Then she saw a man waving. She slowed down for him, but now as he ran toward the car in the dark she shook with fear. Yet she thought that if he was truly in need she couldn’t leave him here in this storm.The stranger explained that his car was dead, and she told him to get in. They drove for an hour into the next city and she took him to a telephone booth (公用电话亭). She waited until he had made a call. When he reported back to her that a family member would soon come for him, she wished him well and left.______________________________________________________“I hope they’ll understand why I had to break my promise,” she thought.1．What can we learn about the woman?A．She was a taxi driver.B．She used to be a hitchhiker.C．She taught in small communities.D．She seldom picked up strangers.2．What made her family worried about her safety?A．She had been hurt by a hitchhiker.B．Her sister’s friend was killed by a hitchhiker.C．There were often snowstorms on her way home.D．Her car often broke down on her way home.3．We can infer from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph that _________.A．she was sorry for picking up the stranger.B．she felt too tired to breathe.C．she had been afraid being with the stranger.D．she had been too careful driving in the storm.D16、Could smells affect your lifespan? Female fruit flies (果蝇) without the ability to smell food live longer than other fruit flies．The sense of smell may be connected to the cellular ageing (细胞老化) process in many other living thingseven people．Such connection has recently been found in both worms and flies．For example, scientists found that removing fruit flies' ability to smell made them live nearly 10 percent longer than flies with a sense of smell．They confirmed that food smells were the ones most likely to affect ageing, as nutrition (营养) and lifespan are known to be connected in many living things．To test the idea that food smells affect lifespan, they removed flies' ability to smell carbon dioxide, which is produced by some fly foods．They left the rest of the smelling system．This action had no effect on male flies, but the females lived 30 percent longer than normal．Removing the ability to smell CO1 may stop flies getting information about food availability．This could mean that food is not enough, causing processes that encourageflies to survive．Scientists found that the female flies from stored extra fat and that both males and females immune (免疫) to CO1 were stronger against the stress than normal flies．It is suggested that females may simply be easily influenced by the smells of CO1．Scientists point out that people don't know whether ageing and smell are connected in animals and humans．But they clearly experience physical changes after smelling food．2．From the passage, we learn that what scientists found is to ________．A．show there is the best way to make lifespan longerB．tell us we should remove our smell ability to live longC．show the sense of smell can affect the cellular ageing processD．explain fruit flies without ability to smell can live longer3．Scientists do some research to proveA．the immune system of flies to CO1B．the connections between nutrition and lifespanC．the importance of food smells to our humansD．the connections between food smells and lifespan4．According to scientists' opinion, we can see that ________．A．flies without ability to smell is encouraged to store extra energyB．male flies in general can live longer than female onesC．both male and female flies can live longer without the ability to smellD．flies without ability to smell can also get information about food availability5．Which of the following best describes the passage as a whole?A．CO1 has few effects on female flies．B．The sense of smell might have an effect on living things．C．The sense of smell is necessary to humans' health．D．Female fruit flies can always live longer than male flies．E17、Eating habits are different in different countries.
