Choose the best answerA recent study found that chewing food for longer might help people lose weight, because it could greatly reduce the amount of calories curing a meal.Scientists at Harbin Medical University in China studied 16 slim men and 14 obese(肥胖的) men in their late teens or twenties. They carried out two experiments.In the first experiment, the scientists wanted to see if the obese men chewed their food differently from the slim men. Each volunteer was given a pie. A secret camera was used to see how many times they chewed before swallowing. The results found that, although the obese men chewed at the same speed as the slim ones, they swallowed their food much more q uickly.In the second experiment, both groups were given another pie to chew 15 times before swallowing, and then they were asked to chew 40 times before swallowing.Scientists found that when volunteers chewed for longer they took in 11.9 per cent fewer calories, no matter whether they were slim or obese.They explained, “When you eat your food in a hurry, you don’t realize you’re eating so much. But chewing for longer makes you more likely to notice the taste, smell and texture(质地) of the food. And it also makes you more aware of what and how much you’re eating. As a result, you’re less likely to feel hungry again.”69.If you chew food for longer, you can according to a recent study.A.lose weightB. get fatC. eat moreD. be hungrier70.Which of the following people can be in the experiments?A.A 40-year-old man.B.

Then they took her to Jupiter, the king of the gods. They asked Jupiter to give her a present too before they sent her down to earth.However, Jupiter did not 77 what the other gods had given Pandora.

I still remember getting into the class with the feelings of a beginner teacher: nervous, careful, excited, etc. The s 81 I started my first lesson in was well-known to hold the most naughty students in the city. With this in m 82 , I was more nervous than I should be. But I tried my best not to show it out and went into the class. The first thing I did was taking a look at the whole class. My eyes s 83 on a big black student. He was sitting in the back row of the class with no one in front of him. His body was much larger than mine. I thought it would be better to l 84 that boy untouchable. As soon as I started my lesson writing on the blackboard, I heard some noise from the back. I f 85 the students to find out who did it, but the class looked very quiet. I went on writing and the noise went on. Then I stopped my lesson to solve this problem because I believed that if I lost c ontrol of the class from the beginning I wouldn’t be able to get it b 86 . I thought the big boy made the noise. To my surprise, a small boy was the source ( 根源) of trouble. Days went on and I discovered that the big boy was good and quiet and the great source of trouble came from a group of small- sized students who became under control after some weeks. From then on, I realized that judging by appearance can often be w 87 , not only with students!D.Answer the questionsMarvin left home feeling happy. He was listening to his favourite music on his MP3 player and he was wearing his new trainers. “And I’ve got a swimming class later. I love swimming. Today is going to be a good day,” he thought.He danced along the street to the music.“Hey, Marilyn!”Tyson’s voice cut through Marvin’s happiness like a knife. Marvin knew it was Tyson because his voicewas very loud and because he always called Marvin by a girl’s name. Tyson thought this was funny.“What’s wrong with you, Marilyn?”Marvin stopped his little dance and started to walk quickly towards school.Tyson followed him. “Hey, Marilyn. I’m talking to you,” Tyson said behind him.Tyson pushed his finger into Marvin’s back. Marvin turned to look at him. Tyson was smiling but it wasn’t a nice smile.“Didn’t you hear me, Marilyn?”“I thought you were talking to somebody else. My name’s Marvin,” he replied. “And anyway, I was listening to my music.”Tyson took Marvin’s MP3 player from him and listened. “What’s that? Classical music?” he laughed.Marvin looked down at his feet and tried to think of something to say. Tyson looked down at the same time.“Ah,” he said. “Were you dancing in your little new trainers?”Marvin found his voice. “I wasn’t dancing. I was doing my fighting practice.”“Little Marilyn can fight?” Tyson laughed in Marvin’s face. “Don’t talk to me about fighting. See this scar?”He showed Marvin his arm. It had a big long line on it with lots of smaller lines across it.“Yes,” said Marvin. He knew what Tyson was going to say next.“I got this when I stopped five robbers from robbing a bank. I’m not afraid of anyone or anything.”“You said there were three robbers last time,” Marvin said. He quickly took his MP3 player back from Tyson and started to run away.“Be carefully today, fighting boy,” Tyson shouted. “I’ll be right behind you.”Marvin was so angry that he had stomach ache. Tyson always made him feel bad. And every time that Tyson was horrible to Marvin, Marvin’s stomach hurt.88.How was Marvin feeling when he left home?89.Why did Tyson call Marvin “Marilyn”?90.Why didn’t Marvin reply at once after Tyson talked to him at first?91.What does the underlined sentence “Marvin found his voice”mean?92.How did Marvin know what Tyson was going to say next?93.Was it a good day to Marvin?

D.Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题) (12分)Many of us know that a beautiful and colourful butterfly comes from an ugly worm! Here is the story of a butterfly that was never able to live its life as a normal butterfly.One day, a man saw a cocoon(蚕茧). He loved butterflies and had a craze for its wonderful colours. In fact, he spent a lot of time around butterflies. He knew how a butterfly would struggle(挣扎,奋斗) to turn into a beautiful one from an ugly caterpillar.He saw the cocoon with a tiny opening. It meant that the butterfly was trying to make its way out to enjoy the world. He decided to watch how the butterfly would come out of the cocoon. He was watching the butterfly struggling to break the shell for several hours. He spent almost more than 10 hours with the cocoon and the butterfly. The butterfly had been struggling very hard for hours to come out through the tiny opening. Unfortunately, even after it continuously tried for several hours, there was no progress. It seemed that the butterfly had tried its best and could not give any more try.The man, who had a passion and love for butterflies, decided to help the butterfly. He got a pair of scissors and tweaked the cocoon to make larger opening for the butterfly and removed the remaining cocoon. The butterfly came out without any struggle!Unfortunately, the butterfly looked no longer beautiful and had a swollen body with small and withered(凋谢的) wings.The man was happy that he had made the butterfly come out of the cocoon without any more struggles. He continued to watch the butterfly and was quite eager to see it fly with its beautiful wings. He thought that at any time, the butterfly might spread its wings, shrink(收缩) the body and the wings could support the body. Unfortunately, _____________ 91_______________.Instead, the butterfly just crawled around with withered wings and a huge body. It was never able to fly. Although the man did it with a good intention(意图), he did not know that only by going through struggles the butterfly can come out to be beautiful, with strong wings.The continuous effort from the butterfly to come out of its cocoon would let the liquid stored in the body be turned into wings. Thus, the body would become lighter and smaller, and the wings would be beautiful and large.If we don’t want to undergo any struggle, we won’t be able to fly!Life is difficult, but struggles make us shine!88. Why was the man crazy about the butterflies?___________________________________________________________________________.89. The butterfly didn’t come out of the cocoon successfully by itself, did it?______, ____________________________________________________________________.90.

Unfortunately, neither did the wings expand nor the swollen body reduce. / Unfortunately, it failed.92. Because the liquid stored in the body would be turned into wings.93.

In those early years, they went hikingalmost the whole summers. They learned to sail before theywere 10. The year they turned 11, their parents sent them both to the same boys’ camp in New Hampshire. There they began to love the overnight trips.When they were 15, they spent a summer in Quebec, camping in an old tent. The year after graduating from college, they drove to Central America and rode a train through jungles.After that, they went their separate ways. Jim took a job as a teacher at a school.

Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题) (12分)The story of the Mary Celeste is a very famous unsolved mystery. The story is about a sailing ship called the Mary Celeste and the strange disappearance of all the people on board the ship.The ship sailed from New York on 7th November, 1872, for the port of Genoa in Italy. It was carrying a cargo(货物) of 1,700 barrels of American alcohol which was worth 35,000 dollars. There were 10 people on board the ship: the captain, Briggs, his wife, Sarah, their two-year-old daughter, and seven crewmen. Briggs had a good fame as a captain. He was also a religious man who did not drink alcohol.The mystery begins on 15th November, 1872. The Mary Celeste was between the Azores and the coast of Portugal when it was seen by the captain of another ship, Captain Morehouse. Captain Morehouse was immediately worried because he could see that the Mary Celeste was out of control. He was also very surprised because he knew that Captain Briggs was a good sailor. Therewere no distress(求救) signals from the Mary Celeste and no reply when Morehouse tried to make contact, so he decided to take a small boat and climb on board the Mary Celeste. There was nobody on board!There didn’t seem to be much wrong with the ship: it was not in danger of sinking, so there was no need for panic. However, the ship’s register and other paper work were missing; the navigation instruments were missing; and everything on the ship, including the captain’s bed, was wet through. Another important fact is that there were no boats on board. And a strange fact is that when the cargo was finally unloaded in Genoa, nine barrels of alcohol were missing. Can we find an explanation which fits all the known facts?Morehouse guessed that the crew must, for some reason, have thought that the boat was sinking and panicked. But why did they think it was sinking? It is possible that, as the cargo was alcohol, there might be an explosion which would cause everyone on board to panic. The crew might have climbed into the boat and tied the boat to the main ship while they checked if the ship really was sinking. Perhaps a storm broke the rope and left them all in a small boat on stormy seas.It seems that 92 now, but I am sure that people will keep thinking of possible solutions, and the only limit to these solutions will be the human imagination!88.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 12分)When Jan and Brian Dutcher moved to San Diego for Brian’s new job at San Diego State University, the neighbors smiled and introduced themselves. But there were no “bring a plate” invitations, no car pooling for her daughters Liza, 12 and Erin, 15.“The families really didn’t know each other, and we missed that,” says Jan. “We are far from relatives. Neighbors are our family.”So Jan, an artist, decided to repeat a project she had done for Liza’s fifth-grade class: ask each person to paint his or her face on a big canvas (帆布). The finished piece would become the new family photo.First, Jan painted a grid (网格) on the canvas and put it up in the garage with a table of paints nearby. Then whenever she was home, the “art room” door was up, with an open invitation for neighbors to paint. The first to stop in were kids riding by. “They thought it was cool,” says Jan, but the adults weren’t so keen. “Most said they hadn’t picked up a paint brush since kindergarten,” she says. “They were afraid they’d mess it up.” But as word slowly spread, they came, some using their driver’s license photos as models.Then something started to happen. They returned—to see who had painted, or if they could recognize who was who. In Jan’s garage, they began to cha t about schools, jobs and families. Almost daily. Wendy, who lived across the street and was seriously ill, came in her wheelchair to watch the fun. Neighbors began to offer their support.When the worst thing happened and Wendy died, they stood by her husband, Bill and invited him over for dinners.This year has been different in the neighborhood. Families take turns hosting happy hours. “We’re watching over each other now just like in the painting” says Jan.88.

Answer the questions(根据以下内容回答问题)(12分)In recent years, a number of Chinese technological innovation(科技创新) have been making waves around the world. Among them, four stand out. They are known as "four new great inventions" of modern China. They have made our daily lives more convenient.High-speed trainsChina created its first high-speed railway line in 2008. Since then, the number of passenger trips has grown by over 30 percent every year. By 2016, more than 5 billion trips had been taken china's bullet trains(高铁), according to Xinhua News Agency.China is currently working on the next-generation bullet trains that will have a top speed of 400kilometers per hour. By 2020, one-fifth of the country's 150,000-km railway network will be used by high-speed trains. This network will link more than 80percent of major cities across China, said Xinhua.Mobile paymentMobile payment is turning China into a "cashless society" led by third-party payment companies like Alipay. For example, instead of paying y cash, customers now pay for goods simply by typing a short password into Alipay app on their mobile devices.Users can also pay their bills through Alipay, such as their water and electricity bills. Alipay also supports cross-border(跨境的)online and in-store payment, which allows users to buy things on international websites and apps.Shared bikesShared bike services started in Western countries. But China has surprised the world with how quickly it has adopted dockless(无桩的)shared bikes.Unlike traditional bike-sharing method, deckles bikes allow users to simply pick up or park a bike on the street through GPS and smartphone To unlock a bike, you just need to scan a QR codeon a shared bike with a smartphone app After you finish riding, you can park it at available parking areas, lock it and pay for ride through mobile payment services.Online shoppingWith around 751 million internet users, China has long been the world's largest and fastest-growing online shopping market.Online shopping now accounts for 15.5 percent of total retail sales in China, according to Xinhua. Thanks to lower costs and fewer licensing requirements(执照要求),it' s easier for sellers to open an online shop in China than a brick-and-mortar shop(实体店).It also helped to create jobs of rural areas. In 2016, online shopping created more than 20 million jobs in rural areas, with over 8.1 million running their own online shops, said Xinhua.88.

In the room a patient, suffering from cancer, lies on a table.The cloud surrounds(包围) the patient, covering her body andfilling her lungs(肺). The cloud is not smoke or steam. It is made ofmillions of microscopic robots called nanorobots(纳米机器人). These tiny robots move from cell(细胞) to cell in the patient’s body, destroying the cancer.Fighting cancer with nanorobots is only an idea today, but scientists say that it could be possible in the future. Using nanorobots for good purposes such as fighting disease or repairing the environment may be the solution to many of today’s problems.However, nanorobots could be a dangerous risk as well. Since nanorobots are so tiny, they will have to work in large teams of many thousands to many millions. For this reason, nanorobots will have to be programmed to build themselves. Scientists will not have the ability to build millions of nanorobots one by one.This ability to reproduce is making some scientists worried. What if something goes wrong in the programming? Quite a lot of crazy nanorobots would be far worse than any disease. Some people think that if they get out of control, nanorobots could destroy the Earth.What should be done? Should we continue researching nanorobots or should we search for other methods? This is one of the many difficult decisions that we have to make in the future.88. What is the cloud in the passage, smoke and steam or microscopic robots?____________________________________________________________________________.89. What can be the good use of nanorobots for us?____________________________________________________________________________.90.

There is nothin g wrong with that life would be very(49)_____ if we were unable to talk about what goes on around us.But it's not that simple. If we say that somebody is a gossip. We do not mean that he or she enjoys gentle social chat it(50)____ a crueler implication.

The gossip is one who spreads bad gossip; good gossip is still fine, but it's not what gossips spread. The difference between good and bad gossip is not clear(52)______. It would be easy if we could tell the two by saying that bad gossip is just about people; but innocent gossip may be about people too. The best way to tell the difference is to look at the purpose behind the remarks. Bad gossip lets out itself in its desire to make the objects of the story look foolish. It intrudes(侵扰) on their privacy(53)_____. So we all know the differences.46. 【参考答案】B【思路解析】词性判断选择名词。

D.Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题) (12分)Many of us know that a beautiful and colourful butterfly comes from an ugly worm! Here is the story of a butterfly that was never able to live its life as a normal butterfly.One day, a man saw a cocoon(蚕茧). He loved butterflies and had a craze for its wonderful colours. In fact, he spent a lot of time around butterflies. He knew how a butterfly would struggle(挣扎,奋斗) to turn into a beautiful one from an ugly caterpillar.He saw the cocoon with a tiny opening. It meant that the butterfly was trying to make its way out to enjoy the world. He decided to watch how the butterfly would come out of the cocoon. He was watching the butterfly struggling to break the shell for several hours. He spent almost more than 10 hours with the cocoon and the butterfly. The butterfly had been struggling very hard for hours to come out through the tiny opening. Unfortunately, even after it continuously tried for several hours, there was no progress. It seemed that the butterfly had tried its best and could not give any more try.The man, who had a passion and love for butterflies, decided to help the butterfly. He got a pair of scissors and tweaked the cocoon to make larger opening for the butterfly and removed the remaining cocoon. The butterfly came out without any struggle!Unfortunately, the butterfly looked no longer beautiful and had a swollen body with small and withered(凋谢的) wings.The man was happy that he had made the butterfly come out of the cocoon without any more struggles. He continued to watch the butterfly and was quite eager to see it fly with its beautiful wings. He thought that at any time, the butterfly might spread its wings, shrink(收缩) the body and the wings could support the body. Unfortunately, _____________ 91_______________.Instead, the butterfly just crawled around with withered wings and a huge body. It was never able to fly. Although the man did it with a good intention(意图), he did not know that only by going through struggles the butterfly can come out to be beautiful, with strong wings.The continuous effort from the butterfly to come out of its cocoon would let the liquid stored in the body be turned into wings. Thus, the body would become lighter and smaller, and the wings would be beautiful and large.If we don’t want to undergo any struggle, we won’t be able to fly!Life is difficult, but struggles make us shine!88.

The butterfly didn’t come out of the cocoon successfully by itself, did it?______, ____________________________________________________________________.90.

There they began to love the overnight trips.When they were 15, they spent a summer in Quebec, camping in an old tent. The year after graduating from college, they drove to Central America and rode a train through jungles.After that, they went their separate ways. Jim took a job as a teacher at a school.

Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题) (12分)The story of the Mary Celeste is a very famous unsolved mystery. The story is about a sailing ship called the Mary Celeste and the strange disappearance of all the people on board the ship.The ship sailed from New York on 7th November, 1872, for the port of Genoa in Italy. It was carrying a cargo(货物) of 1,700 barrels of American alcohol which was worth 35,000 dollars. There were 10 people on board the ship: the captain, Briggs, his wife, Sarah, their two-year-old daughter, and seven crewmen. Briggs had a good fame as a captain. He was also a religious man who did not drink alcohol.The mystery begins on 15th November, 1872. The Mary Celeste was between the Azores and the coast of Portugal when it was seen by the captain of another ship, Captain Morehouse. Captain Morehouse was immediately worried because he could see that the Mary Celeste was out of control. He was also very surprised because he knew that Captain Briggs was a good sailor. There were no distress(求救) signals from the Mary Celeste and no reply when Morehouse tried to make contact, so he decided to take a small boat and climb on board the Mary Celeste. There was nobody on board!There didn’t seem to be much wrong with the ship: it was not in danger of sinking, so t here was no need for panic. However, the ship’s register and other paperwork were missing; the navigation instruments were missing; and everything on the ship, including the captain’s bed, was wet through. Another important fact is that there were no boats on board. And a strange fact is that when the cargo was finally unloaded in Genoa, nine barrels of alcohol were missing. Can we find an explanation which fits all the known facts?Morehouse guessed that the crew must, for some reason, have thought that the boat was sinking and panicked. But why did they think it was sinking? It is possible that, as the cargo was alcohol, there might be an explosion which would cause everyone on board to panic. The crew might have climbed into the boat and tied the boat to the main ship while they checked if the ship really was sinking. Perhaps a storm broke the rope and left them all in a small boat on stormy seas.It seems that 92 now, but I am sure that people will keep thinking of possible solutions, and the only limit to these solutions will be the human imagination!88.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 12分)When Jan and Brian Dutcher moved to San Diego for Brian’s new job at San Diego State University, the neighbors smiled and introduced themselves. But there were no “bring a plate” invitations, no car pooling for her daughters Liza, 12 and Erin, 15.“The families really didn’t know each other, and we missed that,” says Jan. “We are far from relatives. Neighbors are our family.”So Jan, an artist, decided to repeat a project she had done for Liza’s fifth-grade class: ask each person to paint his or her face on a big canvas (帆布). The finished piece would become the new family photo.First, Jan painted a grid (网格) on the canvas and put it up in the garage with a table of paints nearby. Then whenever she was home, the “art room” door was up, with an open invitation for neighbors to paint. The first to stop in were kids riding by. “They thought it was cool,” says Jan, but the adults weren’t so keen. “Most said they hadn’t picked up a paint brush since kindergarten,” she says. “They were afraid they’d mess it up.” But as word slowly spread, they came, some using their driver’s license photos as models.Then something started to happen. They returned—to see who had painted, or if they could recognize who was who. In Jan’s garage, they began to cha t about schools, jobs and families. Almost daily. Wendy, who lived across the street and was seriously ill, came in her wheelchair to watch the fun. Neighbors began to offer their support.When the worst thing happened and Wendy died, they stood by her husband, Bill and invited him over for dinners.This year has been different in the neighborhood. Families take turns hosting happy hours. “We’re watching over each other now just like in the painting” says Jan.88.

Answer the questions(根据以下内容回答问题)(12分)In recent years, a number of Chinese technological innovation(科技创新) have been making waves around the world. Among them, four stand out. They are known as "four new great inventions" of modern China. They have made our daily lives more convenient.High-speed trainsChina created its first high-speed railway line in 2008. Since then, the number of passenger trips has grown by over 30 percent every year. By 2016, more than 5 billion trips had been taken china's bullet trains(高铁), according to Xinhua News Agency.China is currently working on the next-generation bullet trains that will have a top speed of 400kilometers per hour. By 2020, one-fifth of the country's 150,000-km railway network will beused by high-speed trains. This network will link more than 80percent of major cities across China, said Xinhua.Mobile paymentMobile payment is turning China into a "cashless society" led by third-party payment companies like Alipay. For example, instead of paying y cash, customers now pay for goods simply by typing a short password into Alipay app on their mobile devices.Users can also pay their bills through Alipay, such as their water and electricity bills. Alipay also supports cross-border(跨境的)online and in-store payment, which allows users to buy things on international websites and apps.Shared bikesShared bike services started in Western countries. But China has surprised the world with how quickly it has adopted dockless(无桩的)shared bikes.Unlike traditional bike-sharing method, deckles bikes allow users to simply pick up or park a bike on the street through GPS and smartphone To unlock a bike, you just need to scan a QR code on a shared bike with a smartphone app After you finish riding, you can park it at available parking areas, lock it and pay for ride through mobile payment services.Online shoppingWith around 751 million internet users, China has long been the world's largest and fastest-growing online shopping market.Online shopping now accounts for 15.5 percent of total retail sales in China, according to Xinhua. Thanks to lower costs and fewer licensing requirements(执照要求),it' s easier for sellers to open an online shop in China than a brick-and-mortar shop(实体店).It also helped to create jobs of rural areas. In 2016, online shopping created more than 20 million jobs in rural areas, with over 8.1 million running their own online shops, said Xinhua.88.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)A Cloud of Hope and DangerA small cloud floats through the air in a hospital operatingroom. In the room a patient, suffering from cancer, lies on a table.The cloud surrounds(包围) the patient, covering her body andfilling her lungs(肺). The cloud is not smoke or steam. It is made ofmillions of microscopic robots called nanorobots(纳米机器人). These tiny robots move from cell(细胞) to cell in the patient’s body, destroying the cancer.Fighting cancer with nanorobots is only an idea today, but scientists say that it could be possible in the future. Using nanorobots for good purposes such as fighting disease or repairing the environment may be the solution to many of today’s problems.However, nanorobots could be a dangerous risk as well. Since nanorobots are so tiny, they will have to work in large teams of many thousands to many millions. For this reason, nanorobots will have to be programmed to build themselves. Scientists will not have the ability to build millions of nanorobots one by one.This ability to reproduce is making some scientists worried. What if something goes wrong in the programming? Quite a lot of crazy nanorobots would be far worse than any disease. Some people think that if they get out of control, nanorobots could destroy the Earth.What should be done? Should we continue researching nanorobots or should we search for other methods? This is one of the many difficult decisions that we have to make in the future.88.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）:（12分）Like most July days, it was hot. I stepped into a coffee shop to drink a cup of coffee. It was a tiny store with little round tables and chairs.As I entered, I found a very old woman bent over a table near the door. Her back was so badly twisted that her face nearly touched the table-top. I sat down facing her two tables away.“Poor woman,” I thought. “What does she get out of life? Why does God let people live so long past their prime(鼎盛时期)?”As I thought, another aged lady entered the shop and sat down with her. Soon the two of them were talking about childhood days. They talked of how little the shop had changed in 70 years… In minutes the two of them were trembling (颤抖) with laughter.I looked again at the first woman, then in the mirror on a nearby wall, catching a picture of myself.I was wearing a dirty shirt.She was well dressed in white, gold rings on her fingers.I was in low spirits. She was laughing, smiling.I was putting the pieces of my life together. She had millions of wonderful memories to recall.She was old but it wasn’t hurting her.As I left the shop, I thought of my foolish questions about God letting People past their prime. Why, that woman was more alive, more sensitive than I was. Age has not bent her spirit (精神).88.
