ARecently, my mother asked me to drop off some letters at the post office and pick up some stamps for her. Without giving it a thought, I took the letters and purchased her stamps.A few days later, she mentioned that one of the letters I had mailed was missing a stamp, and asked me if I had put a stamp on it. She had remembered asking me to put a stamp on it, though I certainly had not heard her. So, unfortunately, it looked like the letter, which was a bill of course, would come back marked "Return to Sender for Insufficient Postage". A few days went by and I returned to the post office to pick up our mail. While I was there, I saw the postmaster and happened to tell him about Mom’s letter missing the stamp. I asked him to be on the lookout for it coming back. It was then that he told me his story. "You know," he said, "I immediately saw after you had dropped the mail off that your letter was missing a stamp.I also noticed that it was a bill for a credit card company. I thought to myself that you have always been kind to me and my partner, and I wanted to return the favor. So, to prevent your mother from getting charged a late fee from the credit card company, I took money from our change dish (extra pennies for folks who need one), and purchased a stamp for you."When I heard it, I couldn’t believe it. What a blessing that was! I thanked him over and over again for putting the stamp on the letter for us. Then, I immediately dumped(倾倒) all the change out of my purse and into the penny dish in order to help others out in the future. When I got home, I was able to tell Mom the good news. This was kindness karma(因果报应) in action, I believe!1.The letter was missing a stamp because the author__________.A. forgot to buy a stamp for it B .didn’t take enough moneyC. ignored his mother’s remindingD. was not asked to put a stamp on it2.What does the underlined word "Insufficient" (in Paragraph 2) probably mean?A. LackingB. HeavyC. FalseD. Hard3. What may happen if the mother’s letter comes back?A. She will be fined by the post office.B. She might be charged some money.C. She may lose an important message.D. She may have to give up her credit card.4. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author __________.A. didn’t believe what the postmaster saidB. thought the postmaster misunderstood himC. gave the postmaster money to buy stampsD. thought highly of what the postmaster didBDid you know that the color of uniforms can influence the performance of an athlete? It may sound strange, but a study suggests this might be true.Two British scientists studied the results of four sports in the 2004 Athens Olympic Games where the athletes had been given either a red or a blue uniform. They discovered that when there was a big difference in the score, color had no influence on the result. But if it was a close match, the athlete in a red uniform was more likely to win. Then they looked at the uniforms of the soccer teams at the Euro 2004 tournament. Again, teams wearing red won more games.The two scientists got their idea from earlier studies of wild animals. It had been discovered that when a male show red on its body, it sends a signal of its power and strength. For example, in many kinds of monkey, the more the male shows off its red scar, the more females it can attract.Based on this fact, the British scientists thought that the idea might work for humans, too. According to them, when an athlete sees a competitor in a red uniform, he gets a feeling that his competitor could be stronger than him. And that kind of feeling may have a bad influen ce on the player’s performance in the actual game.Although the idea is i nteresting, most people don’t accept that color signals in the animals world can really be useful to humans in sports. They think that it is unreasonable to develop an idea based on such a small number of examples. Much more research has to be done to prove the influence of uniform colors on the performance of athletes.5. What did the scientists find out about the 2004 Athens Olympic Games?A. Athletes played equally well in four sports.B. Game results had a big influence on the athletes.C. Athletes dressed in red scored more in a close match.D. There was a big difference in read and blue team’s scores.6. What may the red scars of a male animal suggest?A. It is quite strong.B. It is a failure.C. It has power over other males.D. It has attracted a lot of females.7. The underlined part “that kind of feeling” in the text refers to a feeling of_____________.A. weaknessB. prideC. dangerD. shame8. wh at is most people’s opinion to the scientists’ idea?A. InterestedB. Satisfied.C. DoubtfulD. ThankfulCCamping is a good way to spend time along with your kids and to show them how wonderful nature can be. Through camping, children can discover new things about nature, such as flowers, birds, and other small animals. Camping gives kids time to get away from all the electronics (电子) of today’s culture. So it is necessary to plan exciting and enjoyable family camping trips with your children while they are young.When planning your family camping trip, consider the activities your kids like: games, hiking, swimming, boating, bicycling, etc. Select a camping place that has some of the activities the kids are interested in. Meal planning is an important part of your camping trip. Plan the meals together, and kids love to choose what they want to eat.When starting to pack for your trip, let the kids pack their own items (物品) . Each person should have his/her own sleeping bag with a luggage (行李) bag to put it in. Personal items should be packed with their sleeping bags. Encourage the kids to put their items in a certain place and always return it when they have finished using it.When you have arrived at your campsite, make all the camping activities a family activity, which will help children to realize how important team-work is. Everyone can have his/her own job sitting up the campsite. Meal time can be a fun time. So let the older ones help with the cooking on your outdoor camping stove while the younger ones get the picnic table ready.9. Which of the following is the best place for a family camping?A. A place covered with forests.B. A place with a river and wild animals.C. A place which provides many interesting activities.D. A place where kids can find various foods they like.10. What does the author advise parents to do while planning a family camping trip?A. Let the children learn by watching.B. Keep the children away from animals.C. Take more food to meet the children’s need.D. Encourage the children to take care of their own things.11. When at the campground, it is necessary to_____________.A. allow the children to cookB. make everyone have work to doC. give children enough time to playD. keep the picnic table full of food12. For whom is the passage most probably written?A. Parents.B. Teachers.C. Kids.D. Teenagers.DIt is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving.On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic condition. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies (奶奶).An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.13.According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by_____________.A. road conditionsB. the speed of modern lifeC. the large number of carsD. the behavior of the drivers14.In the writer’s opinion, _____________.A. drivers should show road politeness properlyB. strict traffic rules are badly neededC. unskillful drivers should be punishedD. drivers should avoid traffic jams15.What is the best title of the passage?A. Road PolitenessB. Traffic ProblemsC. Bad Manners on the RoadD. Good Drivers and Bad DriverELots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock. 16 Here is how to make one.17 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it's important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags. 18 That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating (补偿) on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. 19Keep a record and evaluate it weekly. Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel. After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record. 20 If not, take another look at other methods you could try.A. Get a sleep specialist.B. Find the right motivation(动机;积极性).C. A better plan for sleep can help.D. And consider setting a second alarm.E. If the steps you take are working, keep it up.F. Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day.G. Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the café to get coffee.二、完形填空(本题共20小题;每小题1分,满分20分)阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

We sat and talked. “I remember when I coul d sit here and watch the fish swimming in the water,” he said. “Sometimes, they’d jump out and land beside me. I didn’t even need a fishing rod then.”“We have to be patient,” he continued. “The fish may come or may not. It doesn’t matter. We are out in the sun. It’s a beautiful day. If it rained, we couldn’t be here. We’re lucky to have the warmth of the sun.”He leaned(倚靠)back against a tree. “Yes, it’s a great day,” he said.I watched our bobbers(浮子).

These people learn about them, find them out, and watch them carefully, Why? The only reason I can think of is that these people are open-minded, They are abl e to put asid e differences and welcome the snake as a friend.Whatever the reason for our like or dislike, snakes d o something good in the circle of life.They would prefer to be left alone, and that is what we should d o, If you’re lucky, you might not run across more than a few of them in a lifetime, That would be fine with most of us.15.How d oes the writer d escribe the appearance of snakes?A.Something even without legs.B.Something not popular among people.C.A person who is neutral.D.A person who cares about nothing.16.Which of the foll owing shows that most peopl e dislike snakes?A.They wel come snakes as their best friends.B.They would rather see a mouse than a snake.C.They wonder why snakes can cause great fear.D.They learn about snakes and watch them carefully.17.Although some snakes are poisonous, _______.A.they cause many people’s deathB.they control the population of miceC.they are not dangerous to peopl eD.they are only a small number18.The last paragraph seems to tell us that the writer _______.A.dislikes snakesB.has the best luckC.l oves snakesD.prefers to be l eft al oneThe Westwood Mid dl e School has d ecid ed to hol d a blood drive (献血活动), and you can help.Help with The Blood DriveThe School is holding a bl ood drive for teachers, parents, and town people.

But the sales are at a l ow l evel. Du, a stud ent of Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University, together with his team, introduced col orful potatoes and mad e them into crispy, fried potato snacks. After trying again and again, it gradually turned into a popular snack at Du’sunive rsity. At the end of last year, Du’s team set up their own factory in the village to plant and produce the snacks locally. At the beginning of this year, the production line was put into use.However, whil e helping the local community, Du was under pressure to graduate. Although he was supposed to graduate in June 2020, Du offered to put off graduation for one year. Du said the production line project was still on the way and he wanted to live up to the expectations of the villagers. “A lot of my friends a nd teachers told me not to do that. But if the factory is built but does not run well, it woul d be against my original intention(初心).” Finally, Du’s teacher supported him.Recently, Du’s potato snacks took part in a college food competition.

Well, some people can’t recognize this many because of colorblindness. If someone iscol orblind, that means he can’t see as many col ors as others –or, in rare cases, can’t see col ors at all.Thankfully, special glasses have already been made to help fix some types ofcol orblindness. Now, according to a recent research, scientists have brought this solution one step further. Karepov and Ellenbogen, engineers from Israel have found a way to apply this technology to contact lenses (隐形眼镜). This method is so creative because it can solve many different kinds of visual (视力的) problems.People are able to see color because of how the eye is structured. At the back of our eyes, there’re three different kinds of cells that absorb (吸收) light waves. When light waves are absorbed, the cells send a message to the brain for the image to be processed.If something is wrong with these cells, this can cause probl ems when the brain processes the image. One of the most common types of colorblindness is red-greencol orblindness. People who have this specific type of visual imperfection have difficulty telling apart the col ors red and green.“It would influence simple daily routines such as telling the col ors of traffic lights,” Karepov explained. He also stressed the importance of using this finding to create special contact lenses instead of relying on col or-correcting glasses.Whet her you prefer to wear glasses or contacts, it’s nice to know that people who are col orblind will soon be able to choose between the two, as well.31.The writer leads in the topic by _______ at the beginning of the passage.A.describing a fact B.listing a numberC.asking a question D.giving an example32.The second paragraph mainly tells us about _______ colorblindness.A.the main cause of B.the different kinds ofC.a simpl e tool to find D.a new method to fix33.The und erlined word “imperfection” in Parag raph 4 is cl osest in meaning to _______.A.experience B.weakness C.language D.examination34.The overall tone (总基调) of the passage is _______.A.personal and d oubtful B.sad but humorousC.scientific and promising D.informative but meaninglessOne of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. Peopl e d o this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to d o this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.1.” What’s the matter?” “I went to a party last night, so I…”2.”I feel so tired these days.” “I think you’d better…”3.”Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…”You can see from the above three examples that the context helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So “guessing” is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.35.This passage tells us mainly about ________.A.the importance of “guessing” in learning a foreign language.B.how to guess what one is going to talk about.C.Some examples of right guessing.D.how important it is to guess all the time.36.From the context, we can see maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 1 is ________.A.…so I didn’t have a good time.”B.…so I went to bed very late.”C.…so I felt unhappy.”D.…so I got up very early.”37.Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 2 is ________.A.“I think you’d better have a good rest and take good care of yourself.”B.“I think you’d better have something to drink.”C.“I think you’d better get some help from your friends.”D.“I think you’d better to be more careful.”38.From the passage we can infer that guessing is ________ in l earning a foreign language.A.the only wayB.more important in spoken English than in written English.C.more important than any other wayD.more important in written English than in spoken EnglishMr. Smith is fifty years old. He began to teach in a mid dle school twenty-six years ago. He works hard and always comes to his office on time. He expects his students to be honest and is strict with them. Some of his students become famous people, but they still remember him and often write to him. Of course he is proud of it.This term he began to teach Grad e One. Some of the new stud ents were tol d about him, but the others didn't know him well. He told them how to be an honest person.

These imports also include solid waste, such as plastics, paper and metals. They mainly come from countries like the United States, the United Kingd om and Japan.These goods will no l onger be imported next year. China will ban(禁止) all imports of solid waste starting from Jan 1, 2021, said the Ministry of Ecol ogy and Environment(MEE).Why d oes China import this waste? In 1980, China’s economy(经济) was gradually taking off because of the reform and opening-up policy(改革开放政策). The country’s factories didn’t have enough raw materials(原材料) at that time. Therefore, China began importing solid waste. After being processed, it can be turned into materials that are used to make other products.For years, China has been the worl d’s largest importer of solid waste, with about 45 million tons arriving each year. Countries that send this waste to China pay about $25(163 yuan) to $50 per ton for recycling, China News Agency reported.Although the waste has helped develop China’s economy, it has brought more risks than benefits. Waste that can’t be used is either burned or buried(填埋). The water used to wash the waste is all owed to fl ow into nearby rivers. This has polluted the air, soil and water, posing a risk to public health, China Daily reported.China has made some efforts to ban waste since 2017. From 2017 to 2019, imports of solid waste fell by 68 percent, dropping from 42 million to 13 million tons, Xinhua reported.What about China’s waste?China can produce enough raw materials to support its economy now. However, it is also producing a rapidly-increasing amount of waste.In 2019, the government worked out a guideline for the creation of zero solid waste programs. These programs have been carried out in 11 cities and five districts(区域), including Shenzhen in Guangdong province and Weihai in Shandong province.50.After Jan 1, 2021, what will no l onger be all owed in China?A.Importing plastic products from abroad.B.Buying solid waste from abroad.C.Selling metals to other countries.D.Producing solid waste.51.What d o we know from Paragraphs 3 and 4?A.Many factories used to use solid waste to make products.B.About 45 million tons of waste are processed worl dwide each year.C.China has made a l ot of money by importing waste.D.It costs very littl e money to recycl e solid waste.52.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A.How solid waste has helped China’s devel opment.B.What we can do to protect ourselves from waste.C.What risks solid waste brought to China.D.How solid waste should be dealt with.53.According to the last paragraph, which word d escribes China’s efforts to ban waste?A.wasteful B.effective(有效的) C.chall enging D.expensiveBeijing Opera, also called Peking Opera, is our national opera. It came into being (形成) after 1790 and has a history of over 200 years. Its music and singing came from Xipi and Erhuang in Anhui and Hubei. The Guangxu Emperor (帝王) and Empress Dowager Cixi were also crazy about Beijing Opera and helped d evelop the art form.There are four main rol es in Beijing Opera: Sheng, Dan, Jing, Chou.

So,my personal experience with earthquakes might be considered insignificant.There are three earthquakes that are difficult to forget. The first one was in 1955 and our oldest daughter was walking with me in our backyard in Redwood City in California. As the shaking became stronger I held her to me with one arm as I held on to one of our fruit trees with the other. All three of us (my daughter,I and the tree) shook for two or three minutes that to us felt like hours.The second one was in 1963.Our entire family was visiting Disneyland in Southern California. The earth started to shake just as we were beginning to walk from our hotel toward the_famous_landmark.My third experience with an earthquake was a lonely one in California. It was in my sixties and I was alone in an old church. As the building started to shake,I quickly headed for the door to go outside. I remember I said a little prayer—something like,“Help me get out of here in time,Dear Heavenly Father”.Minutes later,I was safe outside.The author writes the passage mainly to tell us about________.a new film about an earthquakehow to survive an earthquakehis three earthquake experienceshow to save children in an earthquakeThe earthquakes the author has experienced________.It happened in the author’s sixties.the author succeeded in getting outside.When it happened,the author was in a church.The author was too afraid to walk when it happened.(四)Hello Sandy,We have just returned from our holiday.

Many of the stones are small but a few of them are very big. Some of the big stones are as big as a man. The biggest stone weighs about 350kg.The stones only move at night. Nobody has ever seen them moving, but now scientists know the answer to the question. The answer is the wind. When the wind comes from the west, the stones move to the east. When the wind is from the north, they always move to the south. But how can the wind move a very heavy stone?Death Valley is one of the hottest places in the world, but it can be very cold at night. Sometimes, there are even bad storms (风暴)at night. Rain falls, and the wind is strong and cold. The water on the ground turns into ice easily. Then the strong wind can move the stones along the flat (平坦的)ground. In the morning, the sun comes up and dries the ground. So people can find them move from one place to another in the daytime.1. When do the stones move in the Death Valley?A. At night.B. During the day.C. All the day.D.

They travel to other places where the weather is warmer or where they can find food.Many birds migrate in autumn. Because the trip can be dangerous, some travel in large groups. For example, geese(鹅) fly in noisy, “V”-shaped groups. Other kinds of birds fly alone.Some animals stay active in winter. They must change themselves as the weather changes. Many change their doing or their bodies. For example, snowshoe rabbits grow white fur to help them hide in the snow.Food is hard to find in winter. Some animals, like mice, collect lots of food in autumn and store it to eat later. Some animals eat different kinds of food as the seasons change.Some animals hibernate for part or all of the winter. This is a special, very deep sleep. The animal’s body temperature drops, and its heartbeat and breathing slow down. It uses very little energy. In autumn, these animals get ready for winter by eating much more food than in summer and storing it as body fat. They use this fat to keep them alive while hibernating.Water makes good protection for many animals. When the weather gets cold, they move to the bottom of lakes and rivers. There, frogs and many fish hide under rocks or fallen leaves. Cold water holds more oxygen than warm water, and frogs can breathe through their skin.Every type of insect has its own life cycle and that is the way it grows and changes. Different insects spend the winter in different forms of their lives. Some insects also spend the winter without moving. Some insects spend the winter as pupae(蛹). Other insects die after laying eggs in autumn. The eggs change into new insects in spring and everythingbegins all over again.1.

It killed 18 people and left hundreds homeless. Earthquakes are one of the most deadly natural disasters(灾难) in the world. They happen more often than you would expect. In the 24 hours after you read this, 400 to 500 earthquakes will shake the earth. You won't notice most of thembecause you live in a relatively(相对地) safe area or the quake is too far away or because the quake will be too small to notice. Earthquakes are caused by sudden breaks in rock masses(群) deep in the earth. Rock masses are always under very high pressure. If the pressure in a certain area become too much and the rock masses break, an earthquake happens. But exactly when the rock masses reach the breaking point is a mystery(谜). China is on the Eurasia(欧亚) plate, where earthquakes happen very often due to the earth's plates knocking against each other. Up to 17,139 earthquakes have taken place in China in the past 44 years, according to scientific research.1. What happened to the City of Ruichang?A.18 people were killed in an earthquake.B.

But there are many other uses. Only half of the world's paper is used for books and newspapers.Paper is very good for keeping you warm. You have perhaps seen homeless men asleep on a large number of newspapers. In Finland,it is sometimes -40 ℃in winter. The farmers wear paper boots(靴子)in the snow. Nothing could be warmer.Each year,more and more things are made of paper. We have had paper cups and plates for a long time. But now we hear that chairs,tables,and even beds can be made of paper. With paper boots and shoes,you can wear paper hats,paper dresses,and paper raincoats. When you have used them once,you throw them away and buy new ones.The latest use of paper seems to be paper houses. These are not small houses for children to play in,but real,big houses for people to live in. You can buy a house with three rooms for about 500 dollars. You can put it up by yourself in a few hours,and you can use it for about five years.1.Only half of the world's paper is used to ________.A. build housesB. help the homeless peopleC. make chairs,tables and bedsD. print(印刷)newspapers and books2.The farmers in Finland wear paper boots in winter to ________.A. feel much betterB. go for a walkC. keep their feet warmD. save a lot of money3.Long before we began to use paper to make chairs,tables and beds,________.A. we could buy paper boots and shoes in paper shopsB. we had already had paper cups and platesC. we could wear paper hats and paper dressesD. we had no paper cups and paper plates4.The latest use of paper seems to be paper houses.
