People watch news and shows on them. You probably call them TVs. John Baird made the first TV in 1925. It had one color. It could only show 30 resolution (分辨率). This was just enough room for a face. It didn’t work well, but it was a start.By the end of the 1930s, TVs were working well. America got its first taste at the 1939 Worleys Fair. There were 200 small, black and white TVs around the fair. The U. S. President gave a speech on the TVs. The TVs were only five inches big but people loved them. They wanted TVs. But World War II broke out during this time. Factories were busy making things for the war. When the war was over, TVs spread across the country.By 1948 there were 4 big TV stations in America. They gave their shows from 8 to 11 each night. Local shows were at other times. Most of the time, nothing was on at all. The TV was not “always on” like it is now.Color TVs came out in the 1950s. They were too expensive. By 1965, color TVs were cheaper. TV stations started giving shows in color. People had to change their TVs to color TVs if they wanted to see the shows.30．Which is NOT true about the first TV?A．It could only show one color.B．It only had 30 resolution.C．It did not have sounds.D．It did not work well.A．Were all over.B．Copied down.C．Grew up.D．Rushed out. 32．Why was the year 1939 an important year for TVs?A．Because the first color TV came out.B．Because many Americans knew about TVs.C．Because the first TV station began working.D．Because John Baird made the firstTV.33．What’s the best title for the passage?A．Some big TV stations B．Why the TV became popularC．Please watch more TV D．The history of the TVHave you ever tried 3-D printing? A team of seven students from the No. 34 Middle School in Zhengzhou, Henan, have won awards for their creative 3-D printing works.Two of the team’s works took home the top prize at the International Youth Innovation Design Competition, which was held in France this summer. One of their works had the theme “China’s New Era (时代)”. The other work was an ancient Chinese palace, which they sent as a gift to local officials in Lille, France.The team members learned how to print in their school’s 3-D printing club. They took classes twice a week to learn 3-D printing. To make 3-D-printed items, they first draw a blueprint. Then, they use a computer to design models of the pieces they need. After that, they use a 3-D printer to print the pieces and put them together, as Liu Songyuan, 14, said.But knowing how to use the tools is just one part of mastering 3-D printing. One also has to have imagination. To show the theme “China’s New Era”, they printed out items representing high-speed trains, bike sharing, cashless payment and online shopping. They placed these items around a dragon, which represented China. They made this work within just three hours, winning a national 3-D printing competition in China and later the international competition.When they got to the international competition, they wanted to present something that represented traditional Chinese culture. They were inspired by a trip to the Palace Museum. “When we saw the buildings there, we thought ‘that’s it’!” said Zhang Jiuxing, 14. They took photos of the buildings and did a lot of research to make their 3-D-printed works more realistic. “We will continue to learn about this technology and make more creative things,” Zhang added.34．Where have the students won the prize at the International Youth Innovation Design Competition?A．In Zhengzhou.B．In Henan.C．In France.D．In China. 35．How did they learn in the school’s 3-D printing club?A．They used a computer to design to make the works.B．They took classes to learn 3-D printing twice a week.C．They used a 3-D printer to print their works at first.D．They learned how to use the tools every day.36．How many steps do they need before printing to make a 3-D-printed items?A．One step.B．Two steps.C．Three steps.D．Four steps. 37．What did they do to represent Chinese culture in the international competition?A．They had a trip to the Palace Museum.B．They took photos and did a lot ofresearch.C．They made more creative things.D．They make an ancient Chinese Palace.We all know that being a volunteer to help others is good for the world. But it might be good for your body and brain too. Here are some points that volunteering can benefit (使……受益) volunteers.Benefits to your well-being (幸福)It’s no secret that doing good things can make you feel good about yourself. According to a study by United Health Group, 96% of people who volunteered said that it improved their mood (心情), and 78% of volunteers said that it lowered their stress levels.Doing good allows people to help improve their communities, and gives them a chance to learn new skills and meet new people — all of these things can improve sense of well-being, according to the study.________The United Health Group’s study also found that 76% of people who volunteered said it made them feel healthier. And studies have shown that volunteering can be good for your health. For example, in 2013, Carnegie Mellon University studied a group of adults over 50 and found that if they volunteered for more than 200 hours in a year, they were less likely to develop high blood pressure than those who didn’t volunteer at all.In most cases, the hope of health benefits is likely a bonus (额外的好处) rather than the reason behind volunteering. Anyway, giving your time to a reason you care about is a win-win situation.38．Which of the following can be put in the blank?A．Ways to volunteer B．Benefits to your healthC．Benefits to your work D．V olunteers’ health problems39．What can we know from the last paragraph?A．V olunteering can help others and make us healthy.B．We should know exactly why we volunteer.C．It’s time to volunteer right now.D．The reason behind volunteering is more important.40．Which of the following is from the United Health Group’s study?A．76% of volunteers thought volunteering could make them happy.B．78% of volunteers said volunteering raised their stress levels.C．96% of volunteers said volunteering lowered their blood pressure.D．76% of volunteers felt healthier by doing voluntary work.41．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．V olunteers are important to the world.B．A lot of organizations need help.C．Volunteering can benefit the volunteer too.D．V olunteers often do some hard work.Students who get tired of looking at the four walls of a classroom might like to take the nature course being offered by Carvel College again this summer. Groups of about a dozen students each, led by an experienced guide, will go on ten-day camping trips to the mountains to study the plants and animals that grow and live there.Students carry their own things which include sleeping bags, warm clothing, food and water, and other useful tools. And what do the students do all day? Well, as soon as the sun comes up, they eat breakfast and start climbing up the mountain trail（小路）to the next campground, which is five to ten miles away. The students take notes when the guide points out different plants and animals alongside the trail. The climb is usually over by early afternoon, so the group spends the rest of the day resting or swimming in a mountain lake. Before dinner each night, they all come together and discuss the day’s activities.At the end of the course, the students write reports using the information they have collected. But they don’t mind at all. What they do mind is leaving the beauty of the wilderness（荒地）and the good friends they’ve made to return to their normal lives in the city. 42．What can the course offer to the students?A．Better grades in school tests.B．Free vacations in mountains.C．A different learning experience.D．A chance to study in Carvel College.43．How far does a student have to walk every day?A．About five to ten miles.B．About fifty to one hundred miles.C．About two hundred miles.D．About one hundred and twenty miles. 44．What do the students have to do before dinner?A．Wash themselves up in a mountain lake.B．Attend classes by the experienced guide.C．Write about what they see along the trail.D．Review what they learn throughdiscussion.45．What can we infer from the course?A．They will change campgrounds every day.B．The students have to learn all by themselves.C．Pens and books will be useless in the course.D．Carvel College will offer thestudents everything.四、语法填空阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的五、讲稿56．你校下周将举行英语周活动。

I never wanted her to show up at my school.One day during elementary school, I was terribly ill. My mother came."Your mom only has one eye!" yelled some of my classmates. I wished my mother would have just disappeared."If you embarrass (使……尴尬) me, why don't you just die?" I shouted at her, taking no notice of the sad look on her face.

We feel good about ourselves and feel much more confident than before. When you want to tone up your body, just workouts will not do. You have to take care of your overall health by eating proper food, doing the right kind of exercises and keeping yourself happy.The first thing that needs to be done is to reduce the intake (摄入) of calories (卡路里). The calories content (含量) of each meal should not be higher than 400 calories. Ideally, one is well advised to have six meals in a day. There should be a gap (间隔) of three hours between each meal. Fresh vegetables, fruits, egg white, fish, chicken breast are some of the food that can provide you with the right nutrients (养分), at the same time will help you to get in shape.Many people make the mistake of avoiding strength training when they are trying for weight loss. They think that strength training will increase their body weight. However, this is not true. Be careful not to over exercise in order to lose weight fast. Too much of exercise can cause injury to you.Drinking 8-10 glasses of water can help in reducing fat. If you drink ice cold water, then it will burn out some extra calories from your body. This is because when you are drinking cold water, your body needs to raise the temperature of the water up to your body temperature. In this process, almost one calorie of fat gets burned from the body. Drinking a glass of water before a meal will be helpful in this regard.You can get a healthy body only if your mind is free from stress. Stress can also lead to other health problems like high blood pressure, upset stomach, headaches, etc. For all these reasons, special efforts need to be taken torelax your mind.29. Many people don't do strength training because _____.A.they think it can cause injuryB.they think it loses weight too fastC.they think it can help to reduce fatD.they think it makes them put on weight30. From the fourth paragraph we can know _____.A.cold water can help lose weight better than hot waterB.cold water burns out fewer calories than hot waterC.cold water can raise the temperature of your bodyD.cold water brings your body some extra calories31.

You know people just like that, don't you?They keep taking pictures because they think that it helps record the moment, but as Henkel's latest study has just found out, this obsession may prevent their brains from remembering what actually happened, reported The Guardian.In her study, Henkel led a group of college students around a museum and asked them to simply observe 15 objects and to photograph 15 others. The next day the students' memory of the tour was tested, and the results showed that they were less accurate in recognizing the objects and they remembered fewer details about them if they photographed them."When people rely on technology to remember for them—counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves, it can have a negative effect on how well they remember their experiences," Henkel explained.But there is also an exception: if students zoomed (缩放) in to photograph part of an object, their memory actually improved, and those who focused the lens (镜头) on a specific area could even recall parts that weren't in the frame.So basically, this study is saying that constantly taking pictures can harm your memory. But shouldn't reviewing pictures we have taken help wake up our memories? This is true, but only if we spend enough time doing it."In order to remember, we have to access (接近) and interact with the photos, rather than just amassing them," Henkel told The Telegraph. However, previous research has shown that most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures simply because there are too many of them and theyaren't usually very organized on their computers.32. The author mentioned Henkel's trip to the Grand Canyon at the beginning to _____.plain about some tourists' bad habitsB.give suggestions on how to enjoy one's tourC.describe the great view of the Grand CanyonD.point out people's obsession with taking pictures33. Which of the following statements about Henkel's study is TRUE?A.Reviewing pictures always helps people bring back memories.B.Taking pictures in a museum tour helps students recognize objects better.C.Pictures that focus on the details of objects are likely to improvepeople's memories.D.People should spend more time studying real objects than taking picturesof them.34. The underlined word "amassing" in the last paragraph probably means _____.A.displayingB.collectingC.introducingD.remembering35. What is the article mainly about?A.How pictures remind us of our past.B.Some skills to learn for taking pictures.C.How to deal with pictures after taking trips.D.People's obsession with taking pictures and its influence.四、阅读理解-阅读回答问题（共1小题；共10分）How I Turned to Be OptimisticI began to grow up that winter night when my parents told me that we might soon be leaving for America.We were on the bus then. I was crying, and all the people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio programs for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again.In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives.When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures.The country I was leaving was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York, I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more difficult for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "hard times".My responsibilities (责任) in the family increased a lot because I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, took my grandparents to the doctor, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives (代表).From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually (逐渐地) go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that mylife will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.36. Did the writer feel happy when she first knew that her family might soon be leaving for America?_____37. How did the writer get to know America before she went there?_____38. What made the writer feel lost for the first two years in New York?_____39. Why did the writer's responsibilities in the family increase a lot?_____40. What does the writer want to tell us from her experiences?_____五、句子填空（共1小题；共30分）42. I always leave the house early to _____ heavy traffic because I think it's impolite to keep others waiting.43. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and _____ on their faces helped me to get the meaning.44. There will be fewer trees and the _____ will be in great danger.45. I also _____ I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words.46.

So they did a survey (调查) and made up a special team of 12 students, all under the age of 21.Each student was given 36 cards, and each card listed a topic that teens sometimes lie about to their parents. The researchers worked through the cards with the teens, learning what things the kid was lying to his parents about, and why.By the end of the interviews, the kids saw for the first time how much they were lying and how many of family’s rules they had broken. It was reported that 98% of the teens had lied to their parents. Out of the 36 topics the average teen was lying to his parents about 12 of them.Most parents believe their child will stop lying when he gets older. Many books also advise parents to just let lies go—they’ll grow out of it. But the truth is that kids grow into it. In some studies, a 4-year-old child will lie once every two hours, while a 6-year-old child will lie about once every hour and a half.34．The topics on 36 cards are mostly between kids and ________.A．friends B．teachers C．researchers D．parents 35．From this passage, the teens lied on about ________ of the 36 topics as an average.A．12%B．50%C．33%D．98% 36．What can we know according to the studies?A．Children tell some lies as they get older.B．Children tell no lies as they get older.C．Children tell more lies as they get older.D．Children tell fewer lies as they get older.37．What does this passage mainly talk about?A．The reason why the researchers did the survey.B．The steps that the researchers did the survey.C．Some facts about students’ lying.D．The way to help students stop lying.My work allows me to live in different countries.

One of the men was a teacher. The other was a cook.They sat without talking for a while, then the cook said, “Let’s do something to pass the time.”“What do you want to do?” the teacher asked. “We can ask each other riddles (谜语),” the cook said, “You start.”“Let’s make the rules first,” the teacher said.“To make the game more interesting, we play it for money. If we don’t know the answer to a riddle, we have to pay a dollar.”The cook thought about it and said, “That’s not fair (公平的). You are a teacher, an educated man. You know more things than I do. I am just a cook.”“That’s true,” the teacher said,“What s your suggestion?”“If you don’t know the answer to a riddle, you need to pay me $100. If I don’t know the answer to a r i ddle, I’ll pay you $50.”the cook said.Thinking for a while, the teacher said, “OK. That’s fair. Who’ll go first?”“I will,” the cook said.“Here is my riddle.

Polite.BEmma Watson, who played Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies, seems to have it all. She is one of the most famous and successful actress for her age in history.Emma starred in eight Harry Potter movies. She acted in the first one when she was just 9 years old. She did not have much acting experience before getting the role. She says she has other interests besides acting. “I love to perform, but I love to do a lot of things. I just go with the flow.”She turned 26 this year and she has got $10.5 million from the films.Although she is rich and famous, Emma says she does not act for money. She says she will not leave school to act full-time. “People can’t understand why I don’t want to, but school life keeps me in touch with my friends. It keeps me in touch with reality (现实),” she said.Like Hermione, Emma was a model student in her high school in England. In most subjects she got As.Emma filmed the sixth film in 2009, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. In 2010, she began the seventh and final film in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Maybe Hermione will not end up with Harry, but at least we will still be able to see them together at Hogwarts school.46. Emma is _________.A. Harry PotterB. an actress and studentC. a playerD. a singer and student47. What does the second paragraph talk about?A. How Emma becomes famous.B. What Emma thinks about acting.C. Emma’s acting experien ce.D. Emma’s dream.48. Why doesn’t Emma want to leave school?A. Because she wants to learn more knowledge.B. Because her parents ask her to stay in the school.C. Because she wants to be a top student in the school.D. Because school life keeps her in touch with her friends and reality.49. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Harry Potter movies made Emma famous and rich.B. Emma acted in the first Harry Potter movie when she was just 9 years old.C. Emma is good at all her subjects.D. Emma filmed the sixth Harry Potter film in 2009.50. The passage mainly tells us _________.A. how Emma became a successful actressB. that Emma has many hobbiesC. why Emma doesn’t want to leave schoolD. some information about EmmaCIt’s there, but it has no weig ht, no colour, and you can’t smell it. You can’t see it, but it’s working everywhere in our modern world. Don’t try to touch it! It’s dangerous. It has always existed (存在), but humans learned about it only 500 years ago.What is it? Electricity. It’s powerful and mysterious. Thanks to electricity, you can flick a switch (开关) and have light. Watched a good TV show lately? You couldn’t do that without electricity. We cook our food, heat our homes and run our computers using electricity. But what is it, really?Here is a simple description. Everything in the world is made of atoms (原子). Atoms are small. You can fit millions of them on the head of a pin. In every atom, there are electrons (电子), protons (质子) and neutrons (中子). In some atoms, it is possible to move electrons easily from one atom to another. As the electrons move, a current (电流) is created. This is electricity.Don’t worry if you don’ understand it fully. Just remember that electricity is the resu lt of the movement of electrons. As the electrons move, they create a strong electric charge.There are many ways to generate electricity. A machine called a generator spins (旋转) rapidly. Water and wind can make a generator spin. As the generator spins, the electrons begin to move. As they move, they create an electric current. Power lines (电线) are built from generators to carry this current to places where people can use it. Along your street, power lines bring electricity right to your door. A wire runs into your house. More wires inside your house are attached to the plugs. Plug in your lamp, the electricity lights up the bulb, and you have light!It takes a lot of energy to make electricity. Oil is one of the main fuels (燃料) used to power electric generators. Another common fuel is coal.

Sometimes you should remember what your mother taught you: if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all, because bad advice may have terrible results. There are some ways for you to give advice.★ Listen to the person asking you for advice. Every situation (情况) is special so never think you know all about a problem. Listen to the person who wants advice, and learn as much as possible about the situation.★Put yourself in others’ shoes. Think about what you will do if you are in the same situation.Don’t just depend o n(依赖) your experiences to give advice.★ Think about the results of taking and not taking your advice. When possible, think twice about all the possible results. This is more important for really difficult problems.★ Understand that the person may not take your advice. Someone asks for your advice, but he or she may not take it. When you give advice, the idea is to give someone the tools (方法) to make their own decision, not make the decision for them. The person knows more about thesituation than you do, so your advice may not be the best. Don’t be surprised when a person doesn’t take your advice. Live with it, and let the person live with his or her decision.★ Don’t be afraid to let the person know that you don’t have anything to say if you are not able to give any advice. Take some time to think about it. You may share your thoughts later. ( ) 81. When a person asks you for advice, you should .A. try to give good adviceB. say nothing at allC. ask your mom for adviceD. tell the bad results( ) 82.

When the person doesn’t take your advice, .A. you will have to try harderB. you shouldn’t be surprisedC. you can make better decisionsD. you can shout at them angrily( ) 85.
