每周一测Ⅰ. 阅读理解AIs going on holiday of any benefit? New research shows that going on holiday makes you not only feel good while you're there but also gain the health benefits for months.Jetting off to destinations such as the Maldives cuts your blood pressure,helps you sleep better and bounce back from stress. The benefits last at least a fortnight longer than the vacation and can be felt for months in some cases where it is claimed。
Experts say workers should always take their holiday entitlement (权利) each year, but as many as one in three don't。
The study compared key health markers in holidaymakers visiting Thailand,Peru or the Maldives,with those in people who stayed at home and continued working。
The average blood pressure of those on holiday dropped by six percent while the workers saw their blood pressure rise by two percent over the same period. The sleep quality of holidaymakers improved by 17 percent while that of the non-holidaymakers deteriorated by 14 percent.The study also found the ability of vacationers to recover from stress, known as the stress—resilience test, improved by 29 percent。

AG lobal warming, greenhouse gases, destruction of forests, pollution of oceans, air and land are all harming the environment that wild animals depend on to live.What is happening to wild animals?Many wild animals today are endangered or facing dying out as they struggle to adapt (适应) to the changing environment. Changes in the environment are not something new. The environment has been changing for millions of years and many wild animals have adapted to the changes, but now the changes are happening too quickly for them to adapt to and they are in danger of dying out completely. Sometimes the protection of animals has come too late and many wild animals have become rare or have moved away because of the damage by humans.Why should we care?If all the forests were cleared and the oceans and air were polluted, the balance of nature would be destroyed and the Earth would not be able to support any life. Humans as well as animals would not survive. It is in our own interest to care about the environment and protect it.What is being done to protect wild animals?The best way to save endangered animals is to provide safe places for them to live in. In many countries it is now illegal to hunt endangered animals or sell products made from their bodies. Many countries have set up protected areas called wildlife reserves where animals can live and increase in number. Many areas in Africa have been made into wildlife parks to save the amazingwild animals that live there.Now many wild animals are being fed in zoos and then successfully put back into these areas. To help animals survive is important; we can understand how animals live in the wild and the importance of the environments where they live.1. Why are many animals today facing dying out?A. Changes in the environment are new.B. They have not adapted to the changes.C. Human beings haven’t protected them.D. The changes are happening too quickly.2. Which of the following is NOT the cause of wild animals’ dying out?A. Global warming.B. Destruction of forests.C. Natural disasters.D. Air pollution.3. Which of the following is the effective measure to protect wild animals?A. Putting them in the zoo to be fed.B. Letting them live in their reserves.C. Not allowing them to be hunted.D. Building wildlife parks in cities.4. Which of the following would be the best title of the text?A. The environment and wild animalsB. Why should we protect wild animals?C. The importance of protecting animalsD. The endangered animals will disappearBProtecting wildlife has become a tough problem in today’s world. As one of the efforts, many countries formulate (发布) relative laws to protect wildlife. The need for such protection was realized centuries ago in India.About 300 BC an Indian writer described forests that were somewhat like national parks today. The game of killing animals was carefully controlled. Some animals were fully protected. Animals that became dangerous to human visitors were trapped (捕捉) or killed outside the park.The need for wildlife protection is greater now than ever before. About a thousand sorts of animals are in danger of extinction(存在), and the speed at which they are being destroyed has been increasing. With mammals (哺乳动物), for example, the speed of extinction is now about one sort every year. From AD 1 to 1800, the speed was about one sort every fifty years. Everywhere, men are trying to solve the problem of saving wildlife while caring for the world’s growi ng population.5. This report says that the need for protecting wildlife____________.A. was understood in India centuries agoB. was described by an Indian writer about 3,300 years agoC. is not met in many countries todayD. is not carried out in forests as well as in national parks6. The report says that, in Indian forests of long ages, ____________.A. hunters were given permits to hunt gameB. all animals were to be killedC. the game of killing animals was controlledD. no killing of animals was allowed7. According to the report, men trying to save wildlife are thinking about ___________ as well.A. the animals in national parksB. stricter laws against huntingC. the trees in the forestsD. the growth of the population8. From the report we can learn that___________.A. the growth of the world’s population has meant greater danger to the wildlifeB. about a thousand sorts of mammals are in danger of extinctionC. the mammals’ extinction speed is lower now than that of AD 1 to 1800D. hunters who kill endangered sorts of animals will not be punished by lawII. 完形填空阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

In fact, there was no money for Chris tmas and my parents weren’t sure what they’d provide for us.That Christmas Eve, however, as usual, my father left the house dressed as Santa Claus. He knew that even though our Christmas would be hard, he could not disappoint the other kids in the neighborhood.As my father left the house and went down the walkway, Santa Claus was walking up, with a great sack (麻布袋) full of gifts for us! He said nothing, only smiled a sweet smile at my father, and wished him a Merry Christmas. The happy man handed Dad the sack and walked away down the block.We never knew who the man was and who showed us great kindness on a snowy Christmas night. We do know, however, that without him we would have had nothing under the tree.

AFor families on vacation, a playground provides a welcome break from sightseeing. It can also provide a glimpse into the local culture, from the setup of the park to the ways families interact. Here are the designs that live up to that challenge.Fruit and Scent Park, StockholmIs there a picky eater on a steady diet of chicken fingers and cheese? Perhaps a trip to Sweden’s Fruit and Scent Park will change his or her culinary (烹饪的) tune. This playground features a banana slide, an orange seesaw, pear huts, a watermelon jungle gym and a pair of cherry swings, all designed by public artist Johan Ferner Strom. N ow, who can say you can’t play with your food?Nishi Rokugo Park, TokyoLocated between central Tokyo and the city of Kawasaki, Nishi Rokugo combines recycled rubber tires (橡胶轮胎) with traditional playground equipment. In total, more than 3,000 tires of different sizes are used to create tunnels, bridges, tall sculptures for climbing and, of course, tire swi ngs. There’s little shade, so you can visit here in the early morning or late afternoon for the most comfortable weather, and be sure to wear your play clothes.Bicentennial Children’s Park, Santiago, ChileSet a top San Cristóbal Hill, the Bicentennial Children’s playground in Metropolitan Park was built to celebrate 200 years of Chilean independence and improve the lives of Santiago citizens.

ALanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系)groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalization and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2 400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数)of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of, 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150), Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three)or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.1. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?A. They developed very fast.B. They were large in number.C. They had similar patterns.D. They were closely connected.2. Which of the following best explains "dominant " underlined in paragraph 2?A. Complex.B. Advanced.C. Powerful.D. Modern.3. How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present?A. About 6,800.B. About 3,400.C. About 2,400.D. About 1,200.4. What is the main idea of the text?A. New languages will be created.B. People’s lifestyles are reflected in languages.C. Human development results in fewer languages.D. Geography determines language evolution.BSpecialists say that it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. "Culture shock"is the term these specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. There are three stages of culture shock, say the specialists. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to (适应) their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more.There are some obvious factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems —the telephone, post office, or transportation — may be difficult to work out. The simplest things seem to be big problems. The language may be difficult.Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises mostpeople. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their home countries and were successful in their community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity. They have to build a new self-image.Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation. This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick(想家), people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience — these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.5. According to the passage, factors that give rise to culture shock include all of the following except __________.A. language communicationB. weather conditions and customsC. public service systemsD. homesickness6. According to the passage, the more successful you are at home, ___________.A, the fewer difficulties you may have abroadB. the more difficulties you may have abroadC. the more money you will earn abroadD. the less homesick you will feel abroad7. The underlined word in the last paragraph mostly probably means ___________.A. being homesickB. being lostC. protecting oneselfD. gaining experience8. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Escape unfamiliar environmentB. The feeling of homesickness.C. Homesickness can solve the problem of culture shock.D. The best way to overcome culture shock: get familiar with the new culture.II. 七选五根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AStaying in a Homestay in Canada will give you an excellent opportunity to improve your English conversation skills and know more about Canada customs and cultures. Our homestay families are loc ated in areas of Vancouver, Toronto and Montréal, Canada, living from 40 to 60 minutes from the school. These homes are safe, secure, inspected and approved by our homestay program coordinators.Your homestay family in Canada will be different from your own, especially the food and customs, but you will become one of the family!Most Canadians work outside the home and are active in community affairs. Family members have duties around the home and do many things for themselves. For example, family members are expected to take their own dishes from the dining room to the kitchen and take care of their own possessions. This will apply to you too!There will be many differences, both personal and cultural between you and your homestay family in Canada. We ask both you and your new family to be accepting of these differences.Each family will assist you in learning the arrangement of your new home. You will be asked to respect the rules and regulations that are suitable for their household. If any questions arise about your new home, please feel free to ask your family.You will be provided with a clean, comfortable, private room. The room will be furnished with a desk, bed, dresser, closet and good lighting. You are expected to keep your own room neat and tidy. You will have your own house key. Please respect the security of the household. Make sure you return the key when you leave.1. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To advise us to learn English in Canada.B. To give us some information about homestays in Canada.C. To suggest that we practice English in Canada.D. To encourage us to experience Canadian culture.2. Students who live in a homestay family ___________.A. can follow their own customs and have their own foodB. share the same room with one member of the familyC. don’t need to do the houseworkD. must adapt themselves to the new life3. According to the passage, living in a homestay family can provide all the opportunities EXCEPT ___________.A. to improve conversation skillsB. to experience Canadian cultureC. to solve problems between you and the homestay familyD. to experience Canadian family life4. Why are you expected to return your key when you leave?A. The homestay family can stay safe.B. There are not enough keys.C. The room can be cleaned easily.D. The key may be lost.BEverybody in this world is different from one another. But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it’s not easy to change later in life.Financial experts say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances. This is part of our value system and it has a great impact on the way we look after our money.According to our different values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail.The ant-works firstJust like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don’t care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn sothat they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk. The cricket-fun firstThe cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn’t think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance.The snail-lives under pressureThe snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure whether they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.5. People with the character of the snail would like to __________.A. enjoy life at the moment without thinking much about the futureB. put work before everything elseC. live a luxury life at all costsD. take the risk of investing a large sum of money6. Our beliefs and values are affected by the following except __________.A. societyB. our familyC. educationD. money7. This passage mainly talks about __________.A. the spending nature of peopleB. the relation between man and insectsC. the insects in natureD. the problems with dealing with money8. Which of the following has the character that the author prefers?A. The ant.B. The cricket.C. The snail.D. None of the above.II. 七选五根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
每周一测I. 阅读理解阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
AWhat should you do if there’s anearthquake at school? How can you protectyourself when you are caught in a stampede(踩踏)? March 25 this year provides you with agood chance to learn about safety.This day is called the National Day of Education on the Safety of Elem entary and Middle School Students(NDESEMSS) (全国中小学生安全教育日). The theme of the day thisyear is to give students more knowledge about safety and make sure their lives safe.A survey done by the China Youth and Children Research Center showed that school accidents kill more elementary and middle school students than anything else. The main accidents come from stampedes, earthquakes, fires and sports injuries.What can we do to keep ourselves safe? Staying calm is the first and most important rule when facing accidents. But different accidents have different self-protection advice.A stampede is possible anywhere. The larger a human crowd gets, the more likely stampedes become. When students around you begin to push, stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves. If you fall down in a moving crowd, cover your head with both hands. Lean to one side, curl up your body and bend your legs.Earthquakes are common natural disasters. When you feel the ground shake, drop down, take cover under a desk and hold on. You should stay indoors until the shaking stops. If you are out-doors, don’t stay near buildings, trees or power lines.When there’s a fire,follow the teachers’ instructions, leave the classroom quickly and use a piece of cloth to cover your mouth and nose so that you don’t breathe in smoke.1. What should you do first when accidents happen according to this passage?A. Run away.B. Stand there.C. Keep calm.D. Cry loudly.2. According to this passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Car accidents kill the most elementary and middle school students of all accidents.B. When the re’s a fire, you should use cloth to cover your mouth and nose.C. If you fall down in a moving crowd, you can do nothing but wait there.D. When an earthquake happens, you should stay near buildings or trees.3. What’s the best title for this passage?A. Be afraid of accidentsB. An earthquake is comingC. Run away from accidentsD. How to protect yourself4. If the writer continues to write this passage, what will be followed?A. The changes of fires.B. The reasons of accidents.C. Sports injuries.D. Smoking disadvantages.BFor many Canadian families, summer includes activities such as boating and swimming. But each year, tragic and avoidable water-related deaths occur across Canada.A Canadian Red Cross report examining these deaths over 10 years revealed many common factors: 1. Young children aged 1 to 4 and adults aged 15 to 44 are at the greatest risk of drowning; 2. Drowning is one of the leading causes of unintentional death for children aged 1 to 4.Small children are more likely to drown. A small child can disappear in seconds and can drown in only a few centimetres of water — enough to cover the mouth and nose. Typically, these drownings occur in backyard pools, the bathtub, or at the beach. For every death, there are an estimated four to five additional near-drowning incidents, which often result in varying degrees of brain damage.Babies drowned mainly in bathtubs and pools, while older children and youth drowned mainly in large bodies of water.Other factors for adults in water-related deaths includes current and alcohol consumption.Water SafetyThough important, swimming skills alone aren’t always enough to save a life.
