Lots of the time when children are at home with no one around, they get bored. Many parents don't have time or money to send（送）their children to a day care（日托）program, so they can't do anything about it.

The minimum age of racers is18,so everyone who competes is an adult.Training for the Ironmancan take more than a year.People who train often start practicing the events at shorter distances first and then increase the amount of length and time they swim,bike,and run.Training can be difficult because people need to find a balance of strength and endurance(忍耐力)training. Without enough training,people can get harmed.Some people even put on weight when training because their bodies store calories(卡路里)instead of using them for energy.All people in training should drink plenty of water.In the past40years,the Ironman has developed from a single race into a global(全球的) movement.Today’s Ironman races have events of different distances and racers of different ages. Since2008,Weihai has held the Ironman Triathlon Race once a year.Weihai Triathlon Sports Association(威海铁人三项运动协会)was founded in2011.The2014World Triathlon Championships(世界铁人三项锦标赛)was held in Weihai,which was the first time that the event was held in an Asian city.Look at the pretty WeiWei,the mascot(吉祥物)of Weihai Ironman Triathlon Race.Exercise is good for people’s health and helps the heart.People take part in other sports and games such as golf or football,but the Ironman is a challenging way to stay fit.Even though it is hard,it can still be fun.It’s a great way to stay active and enjoy life!1．Ironman Kace includes________.A．swimming,golf and cyclingB．swimming,cycling and runningC．swimming,football and running2．People taking part in the Ultra Ironman Triathlon Race must be________18years old.

During peak season,thousands of passengers take the railway every day to ski in Chongli.If you like,try to experience the hi-tech train and enjoy a travel in style.Smart operationsSome of the trains along the Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway line are smart enough to drive by themselves!They can also open and close the doors automatically(自动地).There are over2,700 sensors checking if the train is running smoothly.Most importantly,the trains can run in temperatures as low as-40℃.Watch on the waySome carriages have large screens.5G technology is used to broadcast(播送)games live. So if you don’t want to miss any of the games during your trip,no need to worry!Media workers can also write news reports based on the live broadcast when they are on the train.No lost bagsA small smart card will be tied to your luggage(行李).Connected to your phone throughBluetooth,it can tell you where your luggage is.This way you don’t need to worry about losing your bags!Safer for babiesSome carriages have beds for babies.Moms no longer need to hold their babies in their arms.

1．（5分）Mr Chen was puzzled（困感的）and a little suspicious（怀疑的）．He sat in the office and studied a letter apparently（看似）from Mrs Wang．the mother of one of the pupils in his class．There was something about it which worried him．"l don' t understand，"he said to himself．He shook his head as he circled four mistakes in the letter，"Mrs Wang is an educated woman．She wouldn't make mistakes like these even if she did write the letter in a hurry．"Mr Chen look out his class register（名册）and said to himself．"Yesterday was Thursday．Let me see，Ah，yes，I thought so．David was absent on Thursday last week and the week before．Hm．Why is he so often absent on Thursdays？Was he really ill yesterday？Could it be a coincidence（巧合）？"Mr Chen stared at the register as if the answers to his questions wete hidden in it somewhere．Then he took out a copy of the timetable（课程表）or his class．"I wonder …"he said to himself．"I wonder if his absence has anything to do with one of these lessons．"Mr Chen looked at the subjects for Thursday；Mathematics，English，P．E…He thought about P．E．He knew that the pupils had P．E．twice a week；once on Monday，when they usually played games on the school field，and once on Thursday，when they did exercises in the gym．Mr Chen glanced round the office to find Mr Long．the rather strict P．E．teacher，but he was not there．"I′d better have a chat with Long and David，"Mr Chen thought．The bell rang．"I can't do anything right now，" Mr Chen thought．"It's time to go to Class 2．I'll do it later on．"Mr Chen picked up his books and walked off to teach Class 2．Later，on Friday，Mr Chen spoke to Mr Long，the P．E．teacher．Mr Long agreed that it seemed strange for David to be absent so often on gym days．They thought about it for a while．"David is a good athlete（运动员）．"Mr Long finally said，"but he's afraid of heights．I was hard on him once because he wouldn 't climb more than a couple of metres up the rope．Do you think that's why he's been absent recently？""Yes，I think so，"Mr Chen said，"I'm going to talk to him this afternoon before he goes home．""Well，I've got a suggestion to make，"said Mr Long．"If he's scared of heights，he'd better come and see me after school．Quite a few people suffer from（遭受）vertigo．I'll be glad to help him．""That′s very kind of you．"said Mr Chen．"I'll get him to come and see you on Monday or Tuesday．"（1）The letter was sent to Mr Chen because David on Thursday．A．was ill at homeB．didn't go to schoolC．was absent from P．E．class（2）Mr Chen was puzzled by the letter because．A．David's mother sent him the letterB．he couldn' t understand the letterC．it didn′t seem to be written by an educated adult（3）Mr Chen got the idea that David's absence had something to do with P．E．after he．A．studied the timetableB．studied the class registerC．talked with Mr Long（4）The underlined word "vertigo"means in the passage．A．身体疼痛B．恐高眩晕C．肠胃痉拿（5）From the passage we know．A．David didn't like P．E．classesB．David dlidn't like Mr Long's being hard on himC．David was afraid of heights2．（5分）We know people can be nice，but what about animals？Scientists say that some animals are capable（有能力的）of being nice．Animals that live in groups﹣like foxes，chimpanzees （大猩猩），and elephants﹣follow rules．They have to followrules to get along and to survive（生存）．However，animals can act nicely，even when they don't have to．Here are some surprising stories about animal behavior．Most people usually walk away when someone is unkind to them．Marc Bekoff，a researcher at the University of Colorado，saw a female （母的）red fox do just that．The female fox was unhappy because a male（公的）fox played roughly（粗鲁地）with her．When she walked away，the male fox showed her that he wanted to play nicely．He lowered his head and rolled on his back．The female fox gave him another chance，and this time，he played more gently．Geza Teleki is a scientist who studies chimpanzees in Tanzania．One day，Teleki hiked far away from his campsite．He didn't have any food．Teleki wanted some fruit from a tree，but the tree was too tall．A young chimpanzee watched him curiously as he tried to get something to eat．The chimpanzee climbed the tree，picked the fruit，and gave it to him!An elephant in Kenya hurt his trunk（象鼻子）．He needed help because he couldn't put food into his mouth．Researcher Kayhan Ostovar watched silently．He saw the hurt elephant show his sore trunk to a healthy elephant．The healthy elephant didn't need any more information．He took a bush and put it carefully into his new friend's mouth．Hippos（河马）and crocodiles are usually good friends．They hang out together in rivers．But Karen Paolillo，a wildlife expert in Zimbabwe，saw something surprising．One day，a crocodile tried to eat a monkey that was next to a river．A hippo ran quickly to the crocodileand chased it away．Why did the hippo attack （攻击）the crocodile？Paolillo says hippos sometimes protect other animals from crocodiles．（1）The main idea of the passage is．A．animals that live in groupe follow rulesB．some animals can be nice to other animalsC．most animals are nice to people（2）The underlined phrase"do just that"means．A．be niceB．play roughlyC．walk away（3）We can say that Teleki．A．is shortB．hates hikingC．could not climb the tree（4）The elephant needed help because．A．the tree was too tallB．it could not use its trunkC．it had no food（5）The underlined word"it"in the last paragraph refers to．A．the crocodileB．the chimpanzeeC．the monkey3．（5分）阅读，判断正误，请将答案填写在答题卡指定位置．MisunderstandingsA man，wearing dirty clothes，with dirty hair and only 35 cents in his pocket，got ona bus and headed straight for the restroom．He thought that if he hid in the restroom，he couldride to New York without paying．But a passenger at the back of the bus saw him．She tapped （拍）the person in front of her on the shoulder and said，"There's a bum in the restroom．Tell the bus driver．"That passenger tapped the person sitting in front of him．" Tell the bus driverthere's bum in the restroom，"he said．The message was passed from person to person until it reached the front of the bus．But somewhere along the way，the message changed．By the time it reached the bus driver，it was not "There's a bum in the restroom"but"There's a bomb（炸弹）in the restroom．"The driver pulled over to the side of the highway（高速公路）at once and called the police．When the police arrived，they told the passengers to get off the bus and stay far away．Then they closed the highway．That soon caused a 15﹣mile﹣long traffic jam．With the help of a dog，the police searched the bus for two hours．Of course，they found no bomb．Two similar﹣sounding English words also caused trouble for a man who wanted to fly from Los Angeles to Oakland，California．His problems began at the airport in Los Angeles．He thought he heard his flight announced，so he walked to the gate，showed his ticket，and got on the plane．Twenty minutes after take﹣off，the man began to worry．Oakland was north of Los Angeles，but the plane seemed to be heading west，and when he looked out his window all he could see was ocean．"Is this plane going to Oakland？" he asked the flight attendant．"No，she said．"We're going to Auckland﹣Auckland，New Zealand．"Because so many English words sound similar，misunderstandings among English﹣speaking people are not uncommon．Most misunderstandings are much less serious．Every day，people speaking English ask one another questions like these："Did you say seventy or seventeen？""Did you say that you can come or that you can't？"Similar﹣sounding words can be especially confusing （混淆）for people who speak English as a second language．When a Korean woman who lives in the United States arrived at work one morning，her boss asked her，"Did you get a plate？""No…，"she answered，wondering what in the world he meant．She worked in an office．Why did the boss ask her about a plate？All day she wondered about her boss's strange question，but she was too embarrassed to ask him about it．At five o'clock，when she was getting ready to go home，her boss said，"Please be on time tomorrow．You were 15 minutes late this morning．""Sorry，" she said．"My car wouldn't start，and…" Suddenly she stopped talking and began to smile．Now she understood．Her boss hadn't asked her，"Did you get a plate？"He had asked her，"Did you get up late？"Auckland and Oakland．"A plate"and"up late"．When similar﹣sounding words causea misunderstanding，probably the best thing to do is just to laugh and learn from themistake．Of course，sometimes it's hard to laugh．The man who traveled to Auckland instead of Oakland didn't feel like laughing．But even that misunderstanding turned out all right in the end．The airline paid for the man's hotel room and meals in New Zealand and for his night back to California．"Oh well，"the man later said．"I always wanted to see New Zealand．"A表示正确，B表示错误（1）A man got on the bus and hid in the bus restroom with a bomb．（2）The 15﹣mile﹣long traffic jam was caused by the man in the restroom．（3）The man who traveled to New Zealand actually wanted to fly to California（4）The boss of the Korean woman asked her if she had got a plate that day．（5）Misunderstandings happen sometimes because of the similar﹣sounding words．4．（5分）根据短文内容，将下面方框中的句子还原到文章当中，使短文内容完整．请将答案填写在答题卡指定位置．Time ManagementDo you ever wish you had more time？Everyone gets the same amount of time each day，But here are some ways to use those hours better．As a popular saying says，"Work smarter，not harder．"The most important way to manage your time is to set priorities（优先权）（1）Also，consider whether or not they are urgent﹣if they need to be done right away．It can be easy to forget important tasks that aren't urgent，so make time for them．Decide ahead of time what you're going to do at certain times each day．Schedule times not only to meet people but also to do things alone．Then you can make sure every thing gets done．（2）Are you smarter in the morning，afternoon or evening？Schedule difficult tasks for times you feel good，saving easy ones for when you're tired．Write down what you need to do and when．I keep two to﹣do lists：one for the present tasks and one for larger projects Im working on．（3）And I don't get discouraged by looking at a long list of items I can't finish．I focus on the shorter list of each days tasks．（4）When someone wants to give you a task，think carefully．Is it reallyimportant enough to spend your precious（宝贵的）time on？Could someone else do it instead？（5）If you're in charge of running a meeting，keep it short．Reading articles or talking to friends online can also use up much of your time．Don't allow it．In the end，using time well is about making a good plan and sticking to it．A．Think about the time of day you work best．B．That way I can make sure I don't forget anything．C．Figure out （弄明白）which of your tasks is the most important．D．Often，managing time means saying no to things that aren't so important．E．Meetings also tend to be a waste of time，so avoid them whenever possible．5．（10分）研读广告，根据广告所提供的信息，对后面的问题简要作答．请将答案填写在答题卡指定位置．Notes：draw抛奖；entry form报名表；receipt收据；claim 认领（1）When is the last day to enter the"Lemonade Lucky Draw"？（2）Where will the draw for the car take

ALively music, singing and the sound of beating drums fill the room. As an orchestra（管弦乐队）plays, performers dressed in colorful costumes move across the stage（舞台）. Welcome to Chinese opera.Chinese opera is an important element（元素）of Chinese culture. Most operas are based on stories from long ago. The amazing stage performances are often set against grand backgrounds. Beautiful paintings, hand movements and martial arts（武术）help tell these famous stories.There are more than 300 forms of Chinese opera, including Beijing Opera, Yue Opera, Yu Opera, Ge Zai Xi and many other forms. Of all of them, Beijing Opera is the most famous. Beijing Opera combines（合并）singing, dancing and acrobatics. Instruments such as drums, bells and cymbals accompany（伴奏）the performances.Facial designTraditionally, performers used masks（⾯具）for their facial design. Today, however, performers use makeup. They paint colorful designs on their faces. These colors and designs help to create each character. For example, a brave character has a red face, while a black face means bold. A yellow and white face represents（代表）someone who is dishonest. CostumesCostumes give clues（线索）to the performers’ characters and roles. Audiences（观众）that are familiar with opera will get to know a story by the masks and costumes. Costumes usually have many designs and colors. The same costume can be used in different shows, however, it will represent a different character.Promoting the artsMany colleges and schools in China desire（渴望）to keep the art of Chinese opera alive. They provide an education system for talented students. Applicants（应试者）must pass a written test, an audition（试镜）and an interview and only the most promising students are accepted to study at these colleges and schools.

After few painful wallops（猛）from "Joey" you paid attention all the time! Sometimes Mr. Tan felt that the class was getting sleepy. Then he suddenly said, "Outside everybody! Round the school! RUN!"

We didn't like him but we respected（敬重）him. He was a good teacher and was always fair.We had a very different math teacher in Sec 3. He was Mr. Hu. He was cheerful and friendly.When he entered the room, somebody would ask him how a camera worked. Then he spent the . rest of the lesson explaining how something worked.

C．swimming, football and running
2．People taking part in the Ultra Ironman Triathlon Race must be ________ 18 years old.
There are several rules for those who want to compete in theUltra Ironman Triathlon Race.The minimum age of racers is 18, so everyone who competes is an adult. Training for the Ironman can take more than a year. People who train often start practicing the events at shorter distances first and then increase the amount of length and time they swim, bike, and run. Training can be difficult because people need to find a balance of strength and endurance (忍耐力) training. Without enough training, people can get harmed. Some people even put on weight when training because their bodies store calories (卡路里) instead of using them for energy. All people in training should drink plenty of water.

Every year, each child from the third grade took part in an old school tradition—the plant sale held in early May, just before Mother's Day.That year I was old enough to take part in it. I wanted to surprise my mother, but I didn't have any money. I told my elder sister about it and she gave me some money. When I arrived at the plant sale, I carefully chose my favorite. I watched each plant seriously to make sure that I could find the best geranium（天竺葵）. After school, with the help of my sister I bid it on the neighbor's porch（门廊）. On Mother's Day, I remember how bright my mother's eyes were and how elated she was at my gift.The year I was fifteen, my younger sister reached the third, grade. She told me that, she wanted to surprise our mother. Like my elder sister did for me, I gave her some money. And she bought the same gift and we hid it in the same place. When she gave the gift to my mother, I watched them full of pride and happiness. My mother noticed me watching and gave me a soft and secret smile. With a shock at my heart, I smiled back.I wonder how my mother could pretend （假装） to be surprised at the same sixth child, but as I watched her eyes, I knew she was not pretending.（1）The writer first took part in the plant sale______________.A. in the third gradeB. at the age of sixteenC. in the fifth gradeD. at the age of fifteen（2）The underlined word "elated" in the second paragraph probably means _____________.A. angryB. upsetC. excitedD. relaxed（3）The sixth child bought _____________ for her mother.A. the prettiest roseB. the best geraniumC. the biggest grapeD. the freshest strawberry（4）From the third paragraph, we can know the mother ___________when she got the same gift.A. refused to accept itB. pretended to be happyC. felt proud and happyD. hid it on the neighbor's porch（5）The passage is mainly about __________________.A. the best place to hide a giftB. a good way to surprise momC. an awful secret of the familyD. deep love between mom and children【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）B（4）C（5）D【解析】【分析】本文讲述了作者小时候和几个兄弟姐妹给妈妈送母亲节礼物的故事。

"I don't understand," he said to himself. He shook his head as he circled four mistakes in the letter. "Mrs. Wang is an es,but the plane seemed tobe heading west,and when he looked out his window all he could see was ocean."Is this plane goin g to Oakland? "he asked the flight attendant."No,"she said. "We're going to Auckland-Auckland,New Zealand."Becauseso many English words sound similar,misunderstandings among English-speakingpeople are not uncommon. Most misunderstandings are much less serious. Everyday,people speaking English ask one another questions like these:"Di dyou say seventy or seventeen?" "Did you say that you can come or thatyou can't?"Similar-sounding words can be especiallyconfusing（混淆）for people who speak English as asecond language. Whe n a Korean woman who lives in the United States arrived atwork one morning,her boss asked her,"Did you get a plate?" "No. "she answered,wondering what in the world he meant. She worked in an office.Why did the boss ask her about a plate? All d ay she wondered about her boss'sstrange question,but she was too embarrassed to ask him about it. At fiveo'clock,when sh e was getting ready to go home,her boss said,"Please beon time tomorrow.Youwere 15 minutes late this morning." "Sorry," she said. "Mycar wouldn't start,and…"Suddenly she stopped talking and began tosmile. Now she understood. Her boss hadn't asked her,"Did you get aplate ?" He had asked her,"Did you get up late?"Auckland and Oakland. "A plate"and" up late". When similar-sounding words cause a misunderstanding,probably the b est thing to do is just to laugh and learn from the mistake. Ofcourse,sometimes it's hard to laugh. The man who traveled to Au ckland insteadof Oakland didn't feel like laughing. But even that misunderstanding turned outall right in the end.
