He said it was a pieceof wood with lead inside it. (Lead is a very heavy, soft, dark graymetal. ) Pencils weren't popular, and people continued to write withpens. They used bird feathers as pens.Then, in 1795, someone started making pencils from graphite (石墨), and they became very popular. One pencil can write 50，000English words or make a line 55 kilometers long.People wrote with feather pens and then used pens with metalpoints. They had to dip (蘸) the point into ink after every fewletters. Next, someone invented a fountain pen that could hold inkinside it. A fountain pen can write several pages before you have to fill it again.Two Hungarian brothers, Ladislao and George Biro,invented the ballpoint pen. English pilots liked the pens. Theycouldn't write with fountain pens in airplanes because the inkleaked out. Later, a French company called Bic bought the Biros' company.Some people call ballpoint pens “Bics. ” Australians call them “Biros. ” Whatever we call them, we use them every day.56. What were the first pens made of?A. Feathers.B. Stone.C. Graphite.D. Wood.57. Which of the following is NOT true?A. A fountain pen can hold ink inside it.B. Ballpoint pens are good for writing in airplanes.C. Fountain pens may leak ink.D. The Biros' company bought Bic.58. What's the main idea of this passage?A. We use pens and pencils every day.B. There were many kinds of pens before ballpoint pens.C. Pens and pencils are very useful inventions.D. Pens were invented earlier than pencils.BNote-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork. It can make you confident (自信的) when you are studying. But unluckily most students don't know how to take notes.★Write down key facts. If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that's great. You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class. Different teachers do things differently. For example，some teachers may focus on(关注) lots of dates and facts in class, but they only write the important ones on the blackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may say something important again and again.★Ask. Don't be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat what you miss. If your teacher speaks too fast that you can't follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class.★Compare. Comparing your notes with your classmates' can be good for your learning. It can also help you and your classmates correct some mistakes.★Organize. Note-taking also needs organization. Keep notes for each subject(主题) in one notebook, and you can find everything easily when a test comes.★Good note-taking takes time. If you decide to recopy(重抄写) your notes every evening, you'll have less time to watch TV. But you'll save time in the coming test.59. How many main points about note-taking are there in this passage?A. 4.B. 5.C. 6.D. 7.60. If you can't follow your teachers in class, what should you do?A. Ask them after class.B.

Wednesday，at 8：00 p．m．Ticket price：￥46( )1．When can you go to see the film？A．At 8：00 a．m．on Monday．B．At 8：00 p．m．on Tuesday．C．At 8：00 p．m．on Thursday．( )2．What can we know about the film．A．Two directors made it．B．It lasts about two hours．C．It came out on September 30 this year．Trip to Bank ParkThe most famous park in our cityJULY 18~20How to get there：Our tour bus goes from the shopping center to the park every two hours．The first bus starts at 8：30 in the morning．What can you do：Listen to country music，go boating，swimming and fishing，and take part in the raffle （抽奖活动）for

according to the readingA．You can take the trip in JuneB．The park is free for children．C．There will be a guide during the trip．CYou have just finished eating an apple while on a camp．There aren't any rubbish bin around．What do you do with the apple core（核）？If you answered “throw it in the grass” because you thought fruit would not have a bad influence on nature，you are wrong．According to the scientists，decomposition（分解）of fruit litter takes much longer time than you imagine．Some of these “natural” food can take years to decompose depending on the environment they are in．When animals start to get their food from people，they may stop looking for their own food in nature．This is very dangerous because animals need different foods to stay healthy．Food waste-also draws animals to go to areas where there are a lot of people．And when food is thrown out of a car window，animals may develop the habit of searching roadsides for food．It is more likely to be hit by a car．In fact，apples，bananas and oranges are not from wild forests．If they are eaten by wild animals，they will probably cause the animals to get sick．Seeds（种子）of these fruit or vegetables that end up on the ground could grow into an exotic plant there，It's not good to the local environment．And then，of course，nobody wants to see somebody else's fruit litter，which has already gone bad，while enjoying the beautiful outdoors．So，no litter is safe litter，not even an apple core．( )6．How does the writer start the text？A．By collecting readers' answers．B．By describing a situation in life．C．By encouraging people to protect nature．( )7．What influence would throwing food waste have on animals？A．It provides different foods for them．B．It prevents them from dying of hunger．C．It increases tho chances of their being hit by a car．( )8．The underlined word “exotic” in Paragraph 4 means “______” in Chinese．A．外来的B．美丽的C．变质的( )9．What's the purpose of the passage？A．To advise us not to eat while camping．B．To ask us to protect the．wild animals．C．To call on people not to litter food waste．( )10．This passage is mainly about ______．А．НЕАLТНB．ENVIRONMENTC．SPORTSDSome spicy（辣的）food is so good that I really want my dog to try it．Have you ever had that thought？But can dogs eat spicy food？And do they like it？Dogs actually have far fewer taste buds（味蕾）than humans，according to animal expert．We have about 9，000 taste buds，while dogs only have around 1，700．Because of this，dogs aren't able to enjoy some taste as we are．So if you try to feed your dog spicy food，it won't even be able to taste the flavour（味道）that well．It'll just feel the effects of the spice（香料）．Most dogs actually don't like spicy food．They can feel the burning feeling of the spicy food．but they don't taste the flavour as well as humans do．In addition，spicy food can also taste bitter to dogs，which they don't like that much．While dogs' sense of taste isn't as strong as humans'，their sense of smell is much better．So your dog will also probably react to some strong smell of something spicy．And it may not want to eat it．Not all spicy food is dangerous to dogs，but you still shouldn't give your dog any．This is because spicy food can burn its mouth and lead to a stomachache．Besides，spicy food is often salty，so dogs can got sick from eating too much salt．If your dog accidentally eats some spicy food，you can give it a little milk．Drinking water doesn't actually help with spice，The same is true of people．So don't give your dog spicy food．It probably won't really like it anyway．( )11．Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 2？A．Humans can taste more flavours than dogs．B．Humans have as many taste buds as dogs．C．Dogs cannot taste the spicy flavour at all．( )12．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about？A．What kind of food dogs likeB．Why spicy food tastes different to dogs．C．Why dogs show no interest in spicy food( )13．Spicy food could make dogs ______．A．dangerous B．uncomfortable C．excited( )14．If you feel awful after eating spicy food，you should ______．A．take some water B．drink some milk C．eat something bitter ( )15．What's the purpose of the passage？A．To research into dogs' sense of tasteB．To teach readers how to feed dogs．C．To let people avoid spicy food for dogs．第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

About 2,000,000 people around the world have tried bungee jumping.Why do people join in these dangerous sports Some scientists say that it is because modern life has become safe and it is not interesting.
