For the most part Chinese people are friendly, easy-going and optimistic. They are curious and unusually patient and they are also the hardest-working people I have ever met.In China, family is everything. In my English classes when the students were asked what they would do if they only had a few hours to live, most students told me how they would spend their last few hours with their families and parents. Many times the subjects in the classes center on families and friends. I teach many students a year, talking to them freely.The cost of living here is very low compared with that of the US. The city of Xiang Fan I live in isn’t large and I live better. Non-imported foods are very cheap, so are clothing and articles of everyday use. The cost of public transportation is very low, too. Chinese value education. However, it is reported that many children can’t afford the expenses of schooling and are forced to leave school in some poor areas in China. But they organized Project Hope many years age. It creates conditions for the poor children to go back to school.

Do you feel nervous before a test? Many students say that a lack of concentration (缺乏注意力) is their biggest problem. It seriously affects their ability to study, so do their test results. If so, use these tips to help you.★Study TechniquesYou should always study in the same place. You shouldn’t sit in a position that you use for another purpose. For example, when you sit on a sofa to study, your brain will think it is time to relax. Don’t watch TV while you are studying. Experts warn that your concentration may be reduced by 50 percent if you attempt to study in this way. Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is nothing to distract (分心) you. Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface. Position your book at an angle of 30 degrees (30度).Don’t try to complete too much in one study period. Finish one thing before beginning another. If you need a break, get up and walk around for a few minutes.★Test-taking SkillsAll your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous to take your test. Getting plenty of rest is very important. This means do not study all night before your test! It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts a few months.Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure (压力). Doing some form of exercise every day will also improve your concentration. Eat healthy food too.When you arrive in the examination room, find your seat and sit down. Breathe slowly and deeply. Check the time on the clock during the test, but not too often.

Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few duties to make life hard. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved whatever he may do. It’s impossible for him to be given so much again in his life without having to do anything in return. Also, life is always giving new things to the child. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow. His first visit to the seaside makes him wild. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is always being told not to do this, not to do that, or being punished (惩罚) for what he has done wrong. So his life is not quite happy.When the young man starts to earn his own living. He can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work hard if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society (社会) as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.41. Who can be the happiest person?A.

They’re not really bad guests, but because the guest-host relationship in China is much different than in some western countries, it appears they are not nice guests. And western host sometimes look rude（粗鲁的）in the eyes of Chinese guests.In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person’s home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host’s way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.My wife’s mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn’t smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you could ask. “Is it OK if I smoke?” But, don’t be surprised if they say “No, you can’t smoke.” In our culture, if you smoke in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they do not allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese,so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your house, don’t be too surprised if they don’t bring you a gift.In China, you probably won’t need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.26．Many foreigners think that Chinese hosts are the ________ in the world A．best B．worst C．most natural D．most different 27．When a western guest visits a Chinese family, he often ________.A．buys some fruit B．feels like a godC．wants some gifts D．takes a cup of tea28．If the writer’s guests want to smoke in his house, what will he probably say?A．It’s OK if you smoke here.B．Let’s smoke together.C．Sorry, you can’t smoke here.D．Smoking is a bad habit.29．What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “adapt to” in the passage?A．think back to B．get used to C．look forward to D．keep close to 30．What is the main idea of this passage?A．Foreigners should learn from Chinese.B．Hosts must do things in the guests’ way.C．Western hosts are always nice to guests.D．People should understand cultural differences.A lot of people play sports, but very few people become sports professionals. If sports aren’t going to be your future, then why should you play them? Why should you train every day? Why should you work hard and feel sore the next day? Wouldn’t it be better to forget sports and only pay attention to your lessons?There are actually a lot of good reasons to play sports. First of all, sports are a great way to exercise. Exercising keeps you healthy and strong. It also helps you stay in a good state. When you exercise, your body produces endorphins(内啡肽). Endorphins give you more energy and make you feel happier.Sports are important for everyone, but they are especially important for young people. They teach young people about winning and losing. Also, they teach young people how to communicate and work as a team. For example, when you play football, you must learn how to communicate with your teammates and work together. Sports teach young people to respect their coaches, teammates, and people they fight against as well.Many reports say that sports help young people stay out of trouble. If a young person plays sports, he or she is less likely to have problems. This is because sports teach people about rules. They also help people know that if they work hard, they might succeed.Another good way of sports is that they make people leave their houses. These days, a lot of people spend too much time watching television and playing video games. When you play sports, you go outside and exercise in the sun. You take in fresh air. All of these things are important.You’re probably not going to become a sports professional, but that doesn’t matter. Sports will help you become a better and happier person. Sports will help you make friendsand stay healthy. Here is another good reason to play sports: Sports are fun.31．The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________ .A．encourage readers to think about playing sports B．make a survey on playing sportsC．share knowledge of sports D．ask for advice from readers32．The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 4 refers to________ .A．reports B．sports C．problems D．rules33．In the writer’s opinion, sports can bring people________ .A．happiness, health, friendship and fun B．fashion, health, friendship and funC．happiness, wealth, health and courage D．health, courage, friendship and value 34．Which of the following is the most likely to be true according to the writer’s opinion?A．People should spend most of their time doing sports.B．If you play sports, you will probably be in a good state.C．Respecting others is the most important in sports.D．If people work hard in playing sports, they will surely succeed in their lives.35．The best title for this passage is________ .A．Sports are very interesting B．Sports teach people rulesC．Sports make people go outside D．Sports are good for everyoneThe first unisex toilets in Shanghai are putting into use these days for testing. The height of the toilet is 2.8 meters, so it is safe for people to use. These unisex toilets appear in Shenyang, Chongqing, Qingdao, etc. Some people think it is good for us to have these unisex toilets. Others thinks it is not acceptable to have them. Here are some viewpoints about the unisex toilets.Zhang Yiyi, 14, ShangxiNowadays, there’s always a queue in the women’s toilets. The unisex toilets can help solve the problem. Compared to simply building more women’s toilets, it saves space and resources(资源). Also, it will be convenient for mothers to take their little babies or kids—both boys and girls –to the toilet. People won’t be used to it straight away. But it is still a good idea in the long run.Zeng Jingxian, 12 GuangdongI think it is not safe for women. Even if it has high walls, it is still possible to causeproblems when men and women use the same bathroom. People’s privacy may be threatened (威胁). Also, women’s toilets are always crowded. If unisex toilets are built, they will become more crowded because of women and it may also bring trouble to men. To solve the problem, the unisex toilets must be very big. It will occupy more land and be a waste of resources.Xu Zixuan , 13, JiangsuIf I go to a unisex toilet, I will feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. I can’t imagine the scene. I may not want to use them at all. It is right to try to solve the problem of women having to wait for a long time to use toilets. But this policy is not perfect. Maybe it is better to directly build more women’s toilets and less men’s toilets.36．What kind of toilet is called unisex toilet?A．The toilet can be used only for women.B．The toilet can be used both for women and children.C．The toilet can be used for everybody.D．The toilet can not be used by children. 37．Why is the unisex toilet made to the height of 2.8?A．It looks more beautiful.B．It can stop the thieves into the toilet.C．It is safe for people to use.D．It can be easier for people to find. 38．What is the meaning of the underlined word “occupy”?A．take up B．need C．spend D．cost 39．What is the best title of the passage?A．The advantages of the unisex toilets.B．The disadvantages of the unisex toilets.C．The different uses of the unisex toilets.D．Different opinions of the unisex toilets. 40．Where can we read the article?A．Advertisement.B．Travel guide.C．Newspaper.D．Restaurant Review.Doctor Seuss was born in 1904.

As a 67-year-old expert, Zhong had responsibilities to find the cause and treatments for it. When authorities( 权威机构) thought Chlamydia ( 支原体) was the main cause of the disease, Zhong gave a new theory. Fearless of challenging the authorities, he bravely proposed that Chlamydia might be one cause of death, but not the only cause of SARS. Soon an effective treatment method was discovered by him. Zhong is cautious, independent, open-minded and never give up.

Even today, he exercises more than three times a week, and can even do 10 push-ups in one breath. He thinks that exercise plays a key role in keeping people healthy.Now at the age of 84, Zhong still works in the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 started in Wuhan in 2020. He has been working together with his students and thousands of medical workers from different provinces. They knew the great risk of being infected, but none of them has given up in the face of the danger.

Standing on the sidewalk, you can see what is happening on your street. That is your normal view. Imagine looking down at your town, or Earth, from space. You would have a much wider view. From space, you could see and photograph your whole country. Scientists who study the geography of surface use cameras on satellites(卫星) in orbit(轨道). The International Space Station is one satellite that has cameras. The Space Station’s orbit is nearly 400km above Earth. OrbitingThey see “the big picture”. These images show climate changes, pollution damage and changes to land surfaces.Large storms, such as hurricanes, can cause great damage and loss of life. Not all areas have storm warning systems to let people know a dangerous storm is coming — in time for them to escape the storm’s path. Images from orbiting satellites help scientists predict where a storm will go.Images from space can show where air or water is being polluted. For example, they can show where oil from an oil spill is spreading. The information can help people who live nearby. It can also help with cleanup efforts. Images can record how long it takes for the environment to recover.Images from space show changes to land area. For example, they show deforestation, or the loss of forests. They also show erosion( 腐蚀) by wind or water. Deforestation is a world problem. Trees help keep our air clean and are home to wildlife. Photos from space show large forest areas have been cut down or burned. Deforestation is also a cause of land erosion. That is because tree roots help to hold soil in place. Serious erosion has happened in Madagascar, an island nation near Africa. Entire forests have been cut down for fuel and new farmland. Photos show large amounts of soil being washed away and lost.Scientists say our use of fossil fuels causes most of the changes in Earth's climate. When we burn oil, coal and natural gas we create harmful gas in the air. This type of gas traps more heat than usual above Earth. Images from space show us the effects of Earth becoming warmer. For example, they show where ice is melting or breaking apart. Another result of Earth becoming warmer is the spread of deserts and other dry lands.For most of history, people could see and understand just a small part of the world. They viewed everything at eye level. Even a person who traveled, or a scientist could only see whatwas right in front of him or her. Today, with camera orbiting in space, we can easily watch and track large areas of Earth. These images of Earth can tell us about its changing condition. They help us understand how changes happening far away might affect us. What we do with that knowledge may decide the future health of our planet.36．Which of the following about images from space is NOT true?A．Images from space help scientists predict where storms will go.B．Images from space show changes to land areas.C．Images from space show who has cut down trees.D．Images from space can show where air is being polluted.37．Why do we take images of oil spills from space?A．To help with the cleanup efforts.B．To show where the oil is spreadingC．To tell how long it takes for environment to recoverD．All above are correctA．copy B．record C．develop D．draw 39．What’s the writer’s opinion on the camera orbiting?A．helpful B．harmful C．wasteful D．interesting 40．What is the best title for the article?4.

I’m an exception(例外）.I started riding a bike when I was three. It was a tiny toy bike with four wheels. I loved it very much and rode it every day.When I was 5, my cousin gave me a pink bike. It was a true bicycle with just two wheels. At the time, my parents were too busy to teach me how to ride it. So I had to learn to ride by myself. I practiced hard on weekends and during vacations, although I still didn’t know how to make turns.One summer vacation, I borrowed an old bike and rode it with my friends on a country road. We sang and practiced our riding skills. Suddenly, a small boy ran into the road. I was shocked and couldn’t control the bike at all. My bike ran into the boy and he fell. He didn’t get very seriously hurt, but his grandma was too angry to accept my apology. My cousin appeared five minutes later and saved me from the mess. But the experience frightened me: no longer dared to ride a bikeThen, last year, free bikes were offered to children. My mother tried to teach me how to ride. But the traffic made me so nervous that I had to ride really slowly. But I’m not going to give up. One day, believe me: you’d see me riding a bike in a big street.29.

When I got to the classroom in the morning, I saw that Mr. Brown had already put our names on our tables. After walking a few steps, I saw my name on the table right in the middle of the classroom. Walking up to my table, my heart sang. “It would be great to sit there. I could see everything easily,” I thought to myself.A while later, the other students entered one by one and took their own seats. And then Mr. Brown started talking. He showed us his classroom rules and explained them. All of a sudden, a student called Tony started singing loudly. All the while he moved his body to the music. His deskmate Josh couldn’t understand why he was doing these things. Then he stood up and talked to Mr Brown, “I don’t want to sit with this strange guy. Can I exchange my seat with someone else, please?”Mr. Brown didn’t answer his questions directly. He stopp ed what he was doing and turned on the computer. Then he showed us some pictures about autistic (患自闭症的) kids. He explained thatautistic kids have little self-control. They seem to do things that are beyond (超出) everyone else’s understanding. However, they can do many great things, in the field of art or music for example. Then he told us that Tony was not good at Maths, but loved songs. “He can sing thousands of songs. What’s more surprising is that he can remember all the words without any mistakes.” In t he end, Mr. Brown added that although autistic were different, they should be loved.Since that first day in high school, I became Mr. Brown’s admirer (崇拜者). I was pretty sure Mr. Brown would get all of us on the right track (轨道).33. How did the writer feel seeing his table?A．Safe. B．Excited. C．Proud. D．Unhappy.34.

D．He is too different to be loved.In 1994, a Japanese Masahiro Hara invented the Quick Response code (QR二维码) as a way to increase the amount of information that could be stored on a paper label. Before this, one-dimensional (1D) barcodes had already been used since 1974 when the first barcode (条形码) was scanned in a supermarket in USA. The first barcodes consisted of two parts: the barcode and the 12-digit number. But the two-dimensional (2D) code made by Mr Hara can hold as much as 7,000 digits or 4,000 characters of text, including all Japanese characters. Many books have QR codes on their back cover which provide information such as the price, the author and the publisher.Around 2006, Wang Yue and his team developed the Hanxin Code which can also encode Chinese characters. Short Hanxin Code, instead of long Chinese names, are now widely printed on the large quantity of shoes on trucks and ships. In 2014, Wang Yue’s company produced its first self-service OR code reader—the Smart Box. Now it has become the most popular offline payment in China. QR codes can be easily read with any mobile phone that has a camera. So they are now widely used in factories and supermarkets, on various tickets and restaurant cashier tables. On 14 February, 2020, a QR code called ‘Health Code’ i s used in Hangzhou for people to quickly report their health status. Firstly, find an app named Alipay and scan the QR code included. Secondly, provide your name, phone number and ID number. Thirdly, answer some questions about your health status andwhere abouts. Then you will get the ‘Health Code’ with different colour, green for “being healthy”.Only with an updated green code, you may be allowed to enter or leave Hangzhou. On 21 February, 2020, a QR code is also used by Ms. Tang to inform her students about the course arrangement. 37. According to the passage, QR codes can be used in many places except __________.A．in hospitals to tell the patients what disease they getB．in bookstores to quickly find out who wrote the bookC．on large quantity of shoes to learn about their producersD．on the restaurants’ cashier tables to pay the dinner bill38. If you want to visit Hangzhou on 20 Feb 2020, you must __________.A．provide your personal informationB．apply for an updated green health codeC．download the mobile phone App Ali-payD．answer questions concerning about your health status39.

I had never done anything like this before. But after reading Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, I was excited about what was to come. The story was great and the sentences were so funny. I wanted to give it a go.I was playing Sir Toby Belch, a very funny old knight (骑士). I had to remember a lot of sentences and very funny old words. I worked hard in order to act well, like a real knight from the old days. But the most difficult job was to be funny in all my acting. This is quite different from the way I am in real life."OK. It's time to be a different me now! " I said to myself. At first, I couldn't do anything naturally. I don’t know what to do when acting in this silly way. But I always told myself that I was Sir Toby now and I should forget who I really was. Even when I was in the bath, I was thinking about Sir Toby’s words and actions and trying to do everything like Sir Toby did.The competition day finally came. When it was my turn to perform, I took a deep breath and began my part. I tried hard to make my words clear enough to understood and my actions funny enough to make everybody laugh. When the results were finally read out, I immediately knew we had won the first prize. I made it.From this experience, I’ve come to know that I can be a different person. It Doesn’t mean I've changed my personality, but I can do something I had never imagined possible. 26．Why did the author feel nervous?A．Because he didn’t like the activity.B．Because he had to play in a drama competition.C．Because he had to learn Twelfth Night. D．Because he wanted to do everything well. 27．The underlined expression “give it a go” in Paragraph means________ .A．let it go away B．give a handC．have a try D．go to a place28．The underlined word "This" in Paragraph 2 refers to________.A．playing Sir Toby Belch B．being funny in my performance C．remembering many sentences D．learning about Sir Toby Belch's personality29．In what order did the following events happen?a. I tried my best to think about the words and action of Sir Toby Belch.b. I couldn't play the part naturally.c. We won the first prize in the competition.d. I breathed deeply and started to play.e. I was told to play Sir Toby Belch.A．e, b, a, d, c B．e, a, b, d, c C．a, c, b, d, e D．a, b, d, c, e 30．What is the best title for the passage?A．Twelfth Night --- One of the Funniest Dramas of ShakespeareB．Sir Toby Belch --- The Part played in the dramaC．We Can Do Something Which Seems ImpossibleD．Believe in Yourself and Don't Give UpMost of us probably live without vegetables, but a world without chocolate? Now that would be hard! According to chocolate makers it could happen if we don’t act soon.There are two main causes of the chocolate shortage—chocolate’s growing popularity and less production of cocoa, the plant from which chocolate is made. With more and more people in India and China loving chocolate, not much can be done about the first cause.Therefore, the only thing we can do is to increase cocoa production. However, new plant diseases and little rain in Ivory Coast a nd Ghana, the world’s largest producers, have reduced cocoa production by 40 percent in the past 10 years. What’s worse, many cocoa farmers in Africa and other cocoa-producing countries like Indonesia and Venezuela are changing to easier-to-grow crops such as corn or rubber. This way, the farmers can make more money.To prevent more farmers from changing, researchers at the newly opened International Cocoa Control Centre, in the UK, are trying to create new cocoa plants that are stronger and faster growing. But first they must make sure the new plants are safe to grow. This takes a longtime.First, each new plant is stored at the Control Centre for six months to make sure it is healthy. It is then planted in the Centre’s fields, studied and tested for anoth er two years. Only after scientists are certain that they’re disease-free, will the plants be sent to farmers in West Africa or wherever else they are needed.To create new stronger types of cocoa, scientists at the Centre are combining the best parts from different cocoa plants. Though the world is facing a serious chocolate shortage, there is now hope!31．The first paragraph tells us that______.A．chocolate is healthier than vegetablesB．the world could soon be without chocolateC．people love vegetables more than chocolateD．it’s not necessary to eat so much chocolate32．In which countries has chocolate become more popular in recent years? A．Venezuela and Indonesia. B．Ivory Coast and Ghana. C．Indonesia and China. D．China and India.33．Cocoa farmers are choosing to grow rubber and corn because these crops______. A．can make them more moneyB．need less rain to growC．can be planted more times each yearD．are not damaged by plant diseases34．How long does it take scientists at the Centre to make sure a cocoa plant is safe to grow? A．6 months. B．12 months. C．24 months. D．30 months. 35．What is one of the purposes of the Cocoa Control Centre?A．To introduce cocoa production to more countries.B．To provide more chocolate for British people.C．To produce stronger types of cocoa plants.D．To make sure that cocoa is healthy to eat.Doctors have discovered a new way to help sick people who need surgery(手术). Instead of making a big cut into a patient's body to find out what is wrong inside, they can now insert a laparoscope — a long, narrow tube with a video camera at one end — through a muchsmaller hole. The view the camera has of the body's interior is shown on the monitor of a machine outside, thus allowing the doctors to see how it is inside.If there is a diseased or damaged part, the doctor can perform the surgery using another cable which sends out a laser beam at one end. The beam acts like a sharp knife and allows the doctor to repair or cut away the damaged part. While the doctor performs the surgery, an assistant moves the laparoscope to give him close-up views.One of the names for this kind of operation is “keyhole surgery”, as the cut may be as small as a keyhole! There are a number of advantages in using this method. Among them are: one, as the cut is much smaller, the patient suffers less pain and so needs less medicine for pain. Two, since the wound is smaller, it can heal faster. Three, as the patient recovers more quickly, hospital stay is shorter and so a lot less money is spent!But there are a few problems with the method. One involves the use of the laser. As it is not always easy to control the beam, the doctor may accidentally cut some veins(静脉) and cause excessive bleeding. Such accidents do not happen often, however. They will be even less likely as technology and skills improve.36．How does the doctor see the inside of the patient’s body?A．He makes a big cut and look inside.B．He peers through the long, narrow tube of the laparoscope.C．He plays back the tape on which the camera has recorded images.D．He looks at the monitors showing the view the video camera is taking.37．How does the doctor cut away the damaged part inside the body?A．He uses the laser beam sent out through a cable.B．He uses the sharps knife attached to the end of the cable.C．He uses the sharp end of the cable.D．He uses a scalpel to cut away the damaged part.38．Why is the kind of surgery known as “keyhole surgery”?A．The doctor uses a special key of make the cut in the body.B．The cut made is much smaller than the ones made in tranditional surgery.C．Like a key, the cut opens up the body for viewing.D．The laparoscope is inserted in the cut like a key.39．Which of these statements is TRUE?A．The doctor’s assistant moves the laparoscope to let him see properly.B．The doctor moves the laparoscope himself to get a good view.C．The patient guides the laparoscope to show the doctor the damaged part.D．The laparoscope is set to move about automatically.40．Which of these is NOT an advantage of keyhole surgery?A．The patient spends less money on the whole operation. B．The patient suffers less pain. C．The patient may have some veins cut accidentally. D．The wound is smaller and heals faster.BostonIsabella Stewart Gardner Museum＂Chairs＂February 11 — May 8, 2017Italian furniture expert Fausto Calderai and Indian photographer Dayanita Singh present an exhibition of chairs from the museum’s collection and ＂chair photographs＂ from around the world presented in a Venetian-style hall housing world-famous masterpieces.For more information: New YorkThe Noguchi Museum＂Noguchi and Graham＂December 1, 2016 — May 1, 2017Noguchi’s long-term collaboration with dancer Martha Graham is regarded by many as a high point in the history of both modern dance and art.

Most of them settled (定居) on the northeast coast. In 1587, a small group of about 100 people decided to go south. They moved to the small island of Roanoke. That area later became part of the state of North Carolina.Unfortunately, the Roanoke settlers weren’t well prepared. They didn’t have enough food for the winter, and there wasn’t enough grain for future crops. Their leader, Captain White, decided to sail back to England to get supplies. However, there was a war in Europe, and three years passed before he returned to North America.When Captain White came back to Roanoke in 1590, he was eager to see the settlers. He looked out from his ship, but no one was there to meet him. There were no signs of life. Thesettlement was empty.No one knows why the Roanoke settlers disappeared. Many people thought that hostile Native Americans killed them, but there were no signs of a fight. Some thought that the settlers died from hunger or disease, but they couldn’t explain the absence of bodies.Many years later, more settlers came to North Carolina. One of them met a Native American group called the Lumbee. They were unusual looking compared to the black-haired, brown-eyed Native Americans in the north. Some Lumbee had blonde hair and gray eyes. Then he listened to their speech and almost fell off his horse. They seemed to speak an unusual kind of English.He asked where they were from. None of them knew, but they said that their grandparents “talked from a book.” Did they mean that their grandparents were able to read? As he rode back home, he asked himself a question: Were the Lumbee people the descendants(后裔)of the Roanoke settlers?People are still asking the same question. Because there are no written records, we can’t be certain. However, there is one interesting fact. Today, some of the Lumbee people have names like Sampson, Dare, and Cooper. They are the same as the names of the vanished settlers of Roanoke Island.46．Captain White returned to Roanoke after three years because ______________. A．there was a war in Europe. B．they didn’t have enough food. C．there were no signs of life in the settlement. D．the area became part of the state of North Carolina.47．According to the following signs EXCEPT ___________, the Lumbee may be the descendants of the Roanoke settlers.A．They had the same names as the disappeared settlersB．They seemed to speak an unusual kind of English.C．Their grandparents might be able to read.D．They had black hair and brown eyes.48．What does the underlined word hostile in paragraph 4 mean?A．brave B．strong C．unfriendly D．unlucky 49．According to the fifth paragraph, why did one of the settlers almost fall off his horse? A．Because some Lumbee’s looking was so unusual that it frightened him.B．Because some Lumbee spoke an unusual English just like the disappeared settlers.C．Becaus e some Lumbee’s English was so unusual that he couldn’t understand them. D．Because the Lumbee told him that they were the descendants of the Roanoke settlers. 50．What’s the best title of the passage?A．The brave Europeans B．The unusual LumbeeC．The disappeared settlers D．The small island of Roanoke三、补全短文5选5The Art of PaperChen Zijiang is a paper-cutting expert whom I interviewed for my article on Chinese Art.

It was a lovely spring afternoon. My classmates and I were playing 1 on the playground when I let out a cry, “Ow! Ow! Something in my shoe is biting me.”Everyone was shocked by the cry. They took me into a classroom and were about to take off my shoe. “Which foot is it?” one asked. “Let 2 have a look.Suddenly, I remembered the holes in my socks. My family was 3 poor during those years that my parents couldn’t buy me good socks. Instead, I wore welfare（福利）socks, 4 cost only a little, but those cheap socks didn’t last long. They soon had holes at the bottom.I refused 5 off my shoes. I couldn’t stand others seeing the holes in my socks. I tried to hold back my tears. Yet, each time the thing in my shoes bit me, tears raced down my face.My teacher, Miss Diane, hurried into 6 classroom. “What’s wrong?” She asked.“Something is biting her right foot,7 she doesn’t allow anyone to take off her shoe,” one of my classmates answered.Miss Diane lived next door to me. She knew everything 8 my family. She put 9 hands on my shaking shoulders and looked into my painful and hopeless eyes.“Oh, yes, it 10 be a sock-eating ant,” she said, as if she had already seen the thing inside the shoe. “I remember 11 I had a bite from one of those ants. By the time I got off my shoe off, it had eaten almost the whole bottom off my sock.” My classmates nodded while they were listening to the teacher carefully, although they all looked a little 12 .Miss Diane took off my right shoe and sock and 13 them over the dustbin. Two red ants fell into it.“Just what I thought. The ants have eaten part of her sock.” When she stroke an alcohol(酒精) cotton ball on the bites, she added, “You are 14 brave girl to take so many bites.”The alcohol felt cool on the bites and a little girl’s pride 15 by the “sock-eating ant”story.1．A．happy B．happily C．happiness D．happier 2．A．we B．our C．ours D．us 3．A．very B．too C．so D．such 4．A．they B．that C．which D．who 5．A．take B．taking C．to take D．took6．A．a B．an C．/ D．the 7．A．and B．but C．so D．however 8．A．about B．to C．at D．by 9．A．either B．neither C．both D．each 10．A．can B．cannot C．must D．mustn’t 11．A．that B．what C．whether D．why 12．A．puzzle B．puzzled C．puzzling D．puzzles 13．A．shake B．shakes C．shook D．shaking 14．A．so B．such C．so a D．such a 15．A．saves B．saved C．has saved D．was saved阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
