Children born under Aquarius (Jan. 21st—Feb. 19th) may be less clever than those born in other seasons. They may also have shorter lives than those born in autumn. Scientists believe many of the differences can be explained by the mother’s exposure to sunlight in pregnancy (怀孕). Sunlight helps lead to the production of vitamin D in the body. The lack (缺乏) of vitamin D in the first months of life may have a bad effect on health.Vitamin D is called the “sunshine vitamin”. It has a good effect on health. A study showed that people born from April to June had slightly shorter lives than those born in October, November or December. Similar studies in the US showed that people born in autumn lived about 160 days longer than those born in spring.Professor Russell Foster said the conclusions were surprising and interesting. He added, “These are small effects but they are very, very clear. I am not giving voice to star signs and they are just for fun. But it is true that we are affected by our season of birth.”( )26. A child’s sea son of birth can affect all the following things EXCEPT according to the first two paragraphs.A. his healthB. his heightC. his length of lifeD. his quality of being clever( )27.

Women should get enough sunlight in pregnancy.B. Children born under Aquarius are cleverer than those born in autumn.C. People born in May will live longer than those born in October.D. Professor Russell Foster is interested in star signs and believes in them.( )30. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. People can know the length of life by star sign.B. Women should choose to give birth to children in spring.C. A child’s season of birth has an effect on him or her.D. Vitamin D is very important to people’s health.BThe size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other part of the face. Other parts of the face change shapes as we get older,but ears do not change their shapes. They only change in size.Reading people’s character from their ears is a very old science. In the past people thought that a person’s ears with colour was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ears showed if a person was musical or not. Today,too,many people believe that the size and shape of the ears help you know if a person is musical.Ears are all different,and each different thing has a meaning. Next time you look at a person,see if his or her ears are large,medium-size,or small. Look at the lobes .Do they stick to the face? Ears that are always red mean that a person may get angry easily. Ears that are always cold and nearly white colour mean that a person has a nervous character.( )31.

Finally, however, you grow up and become a teenager. You begin to have your own thoughts and opinions about life.As you change and grow into this new person who makes your own decisions, your parents may have a difficult time adjusting (调整). They aren't used to the new you-they only know you as a child.In most families, this adjustment can cause lots of arguments between teens and parents. You want to cover your walls with posters, but your parents don't understand why you don't like your wallpaper anymore. Then you feel your parents don't respect you and don't allow you to do what you like, and your parents get angry because they disagree with your decisions. And some other things-like the type of friends youhave-can cause even bigger arguments, because your parents will always be ready to protect you and keepyou safe, no matter how old you are.However, the good news is that there will be fewer arguments as your parents realize that you have grown up and should have your own ideas. Before you get on very well with each other again, communication between you and your parents is very important.( ) 1. The writer describes in the first paragraph.A. the decisions you may makeB. the change you may makeC. the happy time you may haveD. the friends you may have( ) 2. The underlined "respect" means " " in Chinese.A.责备B. 培养C. 尊重D. 欢迎( ) 3. From the passage, we can learn thatA. teenagers like to be with their parentsB. parents may have a happy time adjustingC. parents don't need to respect their childrenD. the type of friends you have may cause bigger arguments( ) 4. In order to get on well with your parents, you should oftenA. communicate with themB. argue with their ideasC. protect themD. do what you like( B )Most children don't enjoy doing housework. They like playing computer games rather than cleaning the rooms. But in Australia, Jim and Robert's mother, Mrs. Black, has good and proper methods to get their children to do housework.Here is an example."Mom, have you worked out next week's housework? Let Jim and me choose the cards. I can't wait. It's fun!"When Robert shouted out, his mother had already put all the cards on their big table. On the cards, there are some words like these, "sweep the floor, clean your bedroom, help mum cook, wash vegetables, make beds, feed the fish, cut the wood, clean the bathroom" and many others, Jim and Robert chose two cards for each day from Monday to Friday. Then they would hang them on the week-day task board. Jim likes to clean the bathroom, so he picked up the card "clean the bathroom". Robert loves to make the bed so he picked up his favorite card. Jim again picked up "wash vegetables" and Robert chose "feed the fish". Soon the two boys were happy to take away all the cards.To help the children do housework, their mother thought hard and came up with this idea. Of course, the parents did the housework on the weekends and left Jim and Robert two days free.( ) 5. From the passage we know that most children likeA. doing houseworkB. playing computer gamesC. playing cardsD. doing homework( ) 6. Jim and Robert chose cards for the weekdays from Monday to Friday.A. twoB. fourC. eightD. ten( ) 7. Jim likes toA. clean the bathroomB. make the bedC. feed the fishD. sweep the floor( ) 8.

There are only a few men in all of history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be pleased only because someone said he was a genius. "There is no such a thing as genius," Edison said. He thought what people called genius was mostly hard work.But Edison was a thinker as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature.

And you will feel your angel’s love and be happy.”“And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me,”the child continued, “if I don't know the language that men talk?”God patted him on the head and said, “Your ange l will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear. Your angel will teach you how to speak.”“And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?”But God had an answer for that question too. “Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.”“I've heard that on earth there are bad men, who will protect me?”“Your angel will defend you even if it means risking her life!”“But I will always be sad becau se I will not see you any more,” the child continued warily.God smiled on the young one. “Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you how to come back to me, even though I will always be with you.”At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard.

He was famous all over the world as the father of China’s space technology. He was born in 1911. On October 31, 2009, he passed away peacefully at the age of 98.When Qian Xuesen was three years old, his father got a job in the Ministry of Education in Beijing, so he and his family came to Beijing. Qian Xuesen graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 1934. In 1935, he went to the United States for further study. In 1950, he heard that the new China had been founded, he began to try his best to go back to his motherland. Although the American government tried to stop him from his journey, he succeeded in going back in 1955.Since 1958, Dr. Qian had devoted all his life to China’s aerospace science and technology (航天技术) and made great achievements. He set up China’s first missile-and-rocket-research institute (导弹、火箭研究机构), which later helped start China’s space program. He retired in 1991,the year before China’s manned space program (载人航天计划) was started. His research formed the basis (基础) of the Long March CZ-2F rocket that carried astronaut Yang Liwei into orbit in 2003.46._____________47._____________48._____________49._____________50._____________51._____________52._____________53._____________54._____________55._____________五、用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空。

And we should all celebrate the act of sleeping. Researchers say sleep is probably the best tool we have for memory and learning. But what about getting rest during the middle of the day?A recent study on napping(小睡) says short periods of sleep may help our brains work better. Past studies have shown that napping can help babies and young children learn better. And napping can help brain performance in older adults. Taking a nap may also help this group of people fight off memory loss because of the increase in their age.Many Americans do nap. But one-third of all adults in the United States are also chronically(长期的) tired, says the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It found that 50 million to 70 million Americans have chronic sleep disorders. However, they seem to be unwilling to tell people that they take a nap. They may think that napping shows they are weak or they don’t have enough energy. It is not an uncommon opinion that only children, the very old, sick or lazy people nap. In fact, Americans sometimes do a very strange thing. Some people brag about how few hours of sleep they need each night to show that they are somehow stronger than the average human–superhuman, if you will. However, that may be changing. Many offices now offer napping rooms and napping cafes(咖啡馆) are appearing in many U.S. cities, including Washington, D.C.Remember that an hour long nap may be too long for young, healthy adults. It is recommended that 30 minutes is enough to remove the pressure(压力) to sleep and will help people feel more awake. If people nap longer, they will get trapped into deep sleep, which can be hard to get out of. If you have trouble falling asleep at night, limit your daytime nap to under 45 minutes. Also nap before 3 p.m.1. Who are this group of people in Paragraph 2?A. The babies.B. The children.C. The older adults.D. The young people.2. The underlined word brag in Paragraph 3 means __________.A. chat sadlyB. talk proudlyC. whisper secretlyD. speak politely3. Wh at may Americans think of napping in the future?A. Healthy adults needn’t take a nap.B. They won’t tell others about their nap.C. It may be common for Americans to take a nap.D. Only the old, the sick and children need a nap.4. For a young man with sleep problems, it is good to __________.A. take a 40-minute-long noon napB. take a nap whenever he feels sleepyC. take an one-hour-long nap after dinnerD. take a 30-minute-long nap in the evening【答案】CBCA四、词汇运用1.

He wore a green tie on a TV program on October 19, 2011.“I just want the students to know that I’m also wearing a green one. And we are all great people and are as good as those wearing red scarves,” he said.The First Experimental Primary School in Xi’an made children with poor schoolwork and behaviour wear green scarves. Parents were angry. “The punish-ment is too bad. All children need their self-esteem (自尊) even though they are very young, and they know the green scarf means something is not quite right. It does harm to students’ self-esteem,” said one mother.Educational expert(专家) Li Zhenxi said that school students have strong self-esteem. They hope to be respected and understood. Punishment will hurt them. “It’s better to encourage them rather than call them ‘bad’ students,” he said. Now, the school has stopped the practice.Some schools think more of studen ts’ self-esteem and have done better in protecting students’ privacy (隐私) and encouraging them. In American schools, teachers post test results on the wall. Instead of using students’ names, they use secret numbers. This way, students know their secret numbers and can check their own grades only. Many teachers in China tell students their grades by sending text messages to their students.Schools and teachers are doing more for students’ self-esteem. But it is a long way. Both teachers and parents should realize that test scores are not the only measure (标准) of a student’s ability. Everyone has his own strengths and everyone can make great progress by working hard. Adults should make students get to know their own value.The most important is to make students believe in themselves.Green scarves and self-esteem【答案】1. tie 2. differences 3. poor 4. punishment 5. harmful6. protect7. messages8. scores/ grades9. value 10. themselves七、完成句子1. 这些短信很值得回复。

Dr Margaret Greene is the lead author of the report.BIf you’re a fan of ABC’s hit comedy series Modern Family, try taking the whole family 30 years back, when there’s no Internet or social networks, no digital downloads, and definitely no cell phones and gadgets at the dinner table.That’s the family of The Goldbergs, a new ABC comedy series that pays tribute to the 1980s.“The world was still small: No cell phones, Internet or Twitter. Your friends lived on your street and your family were the people at your dinner table,” the voiceover says at the beginning of the series’ pilot.And this is the focus of The Goldbergs: One dysfunctional family in the 1980s, filled with lovable and loud characters whose hearts are as big as their hair.From the environment to the fashion and pop culture references, The Goldbergs gets the feel of the times right without beating us over the head with different cultural elements.Cassette players, oversized video recorders and loose tracksuits —having been born in the 1980s, these items certainly make me feel nostalgic and remind me of the classic US series I grew up watching, such as Growing Pains and The Wonder Years.But even if you weren’t born in the 1980s, the series is still relevant. After all, The Goldbergs is about family. The first few episodes give a rather *harsh portrait of this family’s life, which is full of argumentsand *insults. The characters shout at each other, and trick or insult each other in almost every scene.But just when you feel the dysfunctional elements have gone too far, each episode wraps up on a heartwarming and satisfying note, demonstrating the ultimate truth that family members may not like each other all the time, but they do love each other. That’s why I always enjoy watching family comedies — you laugh hard and then, somehow, tears sneak up on you.25.( )Which of the following statements is TRUE about Modern Family?A It is a film.B It is about family life in the 1980s.C It is a comedy.D There’s no Internet in it.26.( ) The world in The Goldbergs is small in that ______.A No cell phones, Internet or TwitterB Your friends lived on your streetC Your family were the people at your dinner tableD all of the above27.( )Which of the following TV series is NOT mentioned in the passage?A Growing PlantsB The Wonder YearsC GoldbergsD Modern Family28.( )Why does the writer like watching family comedies?A Family members may not like each other all the timeB There is laughter and tearsC The characters shout at each otherD Family members do love each other29.( )The underline word “heartwarming” in the last paragraph means_______.A.B. sadC. interestingD. touching hardworkingCBUSY parents and growing children are spending less family time together. According to the latest picture of family life in Britain, the average (平均的) family get together for just 45 minutes a day. And most of that time is spent either in front of the TV or eating.The findings, from a survey (调查) of 3,000 children and parents, signal a worrying break down of the family unit due to a "family-unfriendly culture".One in three said they spent most of their time with the familyeating and one in six said watching TV or playing computer games was their family time.Traditional pastimes (娱乐) for parents and children seem to be on the decline. Just 5 percent said they spent family time doing sports,3 percent read stories and only 2 percent helped with homework.The erosion (日渐减少) of family life leaves parents less time toteach key social skills such as listening to others, saying "please"and "thank you" and taking turns (按顺序), the survey shows.30.The average (平均的) family in Britain get together for just ______ a day.A 3000 secondsB 45 minutesC 30 minutesD 45 hours31.( )_______ took part in the survey.A 3000 childrenB 3000 parentsC 3000 children and parents D45 children and parents32.

And most of that time is spent either in front of the TV or eating.The findings, from a survey (调查) of 3,000 children and parents, signal a worrying break down of the family unit due to a"family-unfriendly culture".One in three said they spent most of their time with the family eating and one in six said watching TV or playing computer games was their family time.Traditional pastimes (娱乐) for parents and children seem to be on the decline. Just 5 percent said they spent family time doing sports, 3 percent read stories and only 2 percent helped with homework.The erosion (日渐减少) of family life leaves parents less timeto teach key social skills such as listening to others, saying "please" and "thank you" and taking turns (按顺序), the survey shows.30.The average (平均的) family in Britain get together for just ______ a day.A 3000 secondsB 45 minutesC 30 minutesD 45 hours31.( )_______ took part in the survey.A 3000 childrenB 3000 parentsC 3000 children andparents D 45 children and parents32.

On August 6, 2012, after more than eight months of travel, Curiosity reached Mars.The robot landed near Mars' equator (赤道). Minutes later, it sent back to the earth a black and-white picture of its own wheels on Mars.Weighing about a ton, the robot is the heaviest Mars explorer yet. The three Mars robots were sent before Curiosity depended on large airbags for a soft, safe landing. But Curiosity's weight made landing very difficult. The scientists planned a number of steps to slow down the spaceship carrying Curiosity so that it would not go crashing into Mars. As it came close to Mars, a large parachute opened, helping to slow down the landing. Later, other things helped slow it down more. In the end, Curiosity had a safe, gentle landing.Curiosity will stay on Mars for 98 weeks, looking for the ingredients (组成部分) of life, and might find an answer to the question of whether or not Mars once had life.Scientists hope that Curiosity will make some big discoveries. But for the moment they are happy that their latest robot made it to Mars safely. Charles Elachi, director of the landing team, compared his team of scientists to a team of Olympic athletes. "This team came back with a gold medal," he said.( ) 41. It took Curiosity____ to get to Mars.A. seven weeksB. about one monthC. ninety-eight weeksD. over eight months( ) 42.

She would always put the extra piece of bread on the window sill.She noticed that a hunchback (驼背) came every day and took the extra piece. Instead of saying thanks to her, he would say, "The bad you do remains with you. The good you do comes back to you! "This went on, day after day. Finally, the woman got very angry. "He is so impolite!" she said to herself.One day, she added some poison to the piece of bread she prepared for him! When she was about to put the piece of bread on the window sill, she stopped. "What am I doing?" she said. Immediately, she threw the bread into the fire, prepared another one and put it on the window sill.As usual, the hunchback came, picked up the bread and said those words to her.That evening, there was a knock on the door. It was the woman's son, hungry and weak.Looking at his mother he said, "Mom, I was too hungry to walk any further a mile away. But just then, an old hunchback was kind enough to give me a piece of bread."Then the woman realized the meaning of the words, "The bad you do remains with you.

Four years ago, I decided to travel alone to every country in the world. I did this for many reasons: to set a Guinness World Record; to raise money for charity; to tell great stories to my grandchildren. But the main reason was to show that the world isn't a terrible scary place and that you can goanywhere with patience. I didn't take an airplane mainly because nobody had done it yet. Besides, by travelling on the bus or train I could spend more time with the local people. And it was a lot cheaper.There were many interesting things as well as difficulties during the trip. One place I will never forget is Iran. It is the friendliest nation in the world. I was treated like a guest by everybody I met. At one time, on a bus, an old lady smiled at me and passed me her mobile phone. The man on the phone told me in English that the woman was his grandmother. She wanted to invite me to her home and cook me breakfast because she was worried that I wouldn't have anything to eat the next morning.After my journey, I have learnt that there are good people who will help a stranger in need, all over the world. I have also learnt that people, wherever they live, are not that different. Finally, I have learnt that nobody knows what will happen at the end of the day, so we should enjoy the journey during the day.( ) 51. Hughes decided to travel to every country for all of the following reasons EXCEPT ____.A. to set a Guinness World RecordB. to raise money for charityC. to collect information for his new bookD. to tell great stories to his grandchildren( ) 52.

The second paragraph is mainly aboutA. one of Hughes' experiencesB. a strange man that Hughes metC. a problem that Hughes dealt withD. a woman who lent her mobile phone to Hughes( ) 54. We can learn from the passage that people in Iran are ____.A. friendlyB. confidentC. honestD. brave( ) 55. What has Hughes learned from his journey around the world?A. The world is a terrible scary place.B. People living in different places have things in common.C. There are many bad people all over the world.D.
