In Europe for example, coffee shops are common places for people to meet friends while they drink coffee. On the other hand, places like this were not as common in North America in the past. Instead, people in North America liked to drink coffee in their homes with friends. The coffee culture in the USA changed, when Starbucks (星巴克) coffee shops spread throughout the country．The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle, Washington，in the USA．It was a small coffee shop that cooked its own coffee beans. The coffee shop's business did well, and by 1981 there were three Starbucks stores in Seattle.Things really began to change for the company in 1981. That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment (设备) . He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers, which caused his great interest. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did. In 1982, the original Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company's head of marketing (市场营销).In 1983, Schultz traveled to Italy. The special environment of the espresso (浓咖啡) bars there caught his eyes. Back in the USA, Schultz created an environment for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable and casual, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Starbucks began opening more stores in the USA．Then the company opened coffee shops in other countries as well. Today, there are more than 16,000 Starbucks coffee shops all over the world.However，that does not mean Starbucks has not had problems. In fact, many Starbucks stores have closed over the past few years. On the one hand, this is because there were too many coffee shops competing (竞争) for business in one small area. On the other hand, stores in some countries closed because the coffee culture there did not match with the comfortable environment offered by Starbucks.1．The underlined word "ran" in Paragraph 3 probably means .A．closed B．managed C．made D．sold2．According to the passage, which is the right order for the following sentences？a.This man helped to make Starbucks a huge coffee company.b.Starbucks began as a small coffee company in Seattle in the USA．c.He went to Seattle to learn about the company and later worked for it.d.Howard Schultz found Starbucks ordered lots of special coffee makers.A．a﹣b﹣d﹣c B．c﹣a﹣b﹣d C．b﹣d﹣c﹣a D．d﹣c﹣a﹣b3．Why did so many Starbucks close in small areas？A．Because the coffee in these places was too expensiveB．Because the style of the coffee stores seems the same．C．Because people like to drink coffee at home with friendsD．Because there were too many coffee shops in one place．4．To tell us the story of Starbucks, the writer did the following except .A．introducing how Starbucks became successfulB．showing what Schultz did to help Starbucks become successfulC．telling what difficulties Starbucks facesD．telling what Starbucks did to deal with his problems5．What's the best title for the passage？A．The History of Starbucks B．The Culture of StarbucksC．The Popularity of Starbucks D．The environment of StarbucksB14、Evan was in his last year of middle school.

I choose their good qualities and follow them.”He also taught us t hat thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society.

It is a new flu virus that was first found in April, 2009. This kind of virus can make people ill and is spreading from person-to-person, causing a growing outbreak of illness first in the United States and Mexico. Later, an increasing number of sick people are being reported in many other countries.Why and how the swine flu started in humans is still unknown. The first sick people were found in the U. S. ,but soon it was found out that the new virus had much to do with an earlier outbreak of late-season flu in Mexico. Several days later hundreds of sick people were discovered in Mexico, with more sick people found in the U. S. , Australia, Europe and many other countries as well. The World Health Organization（WHO）worried that it could become a worldwide flu.Although scientists have noticed that the outbreak has not been as serious as those in history, other health officials（官员）worry about what might happen later in the year, saying that “we are not seeing any sign（迹象）of this coming to an end. The flu might be spreading at a crazy speed. The number of sick people is expected to rise as the new flu spreads across the countries.” Besides, the new virus could change its form over the coming months.

Money does have its most useful effect(影响) on the poor, but once a person has a rich life, a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.If money was everything, all millionaires(百万富翁) would have true love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always true.Noth ing else is more pleasant than the three words which are “I love you”. But can love be bought? I’m afraid not. Love means to give, not to take. To every person, health and long life are probably the most precious(宝贵的) things. Well, can health and a long li fe be bought with money? The answer is “No”.Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought either. In aword, where money is worshiped(崇拜), money can cause brothers to quarrel, lovers to hate, strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have not one to laugh with, no one to cry for.1．According to the passage, which of the following do you think is right?A．Money is everything.

She found that the desks were no longer in rows, but pushed together to make eight bigger desks. She was too excited about it for the first two days and she couldn’t listen to the teachers carefully. But soon she and her classmates got used to this new classroom arrangement (安排). “Now our class is quieter,” said Wang, “What’s more, we can come up with our own ideas and learn more through discussion. It’s a better way to study.”Li Yu liked it, too. He said, “Group members first discuss, and then show ourselves in front of the whole class. It makes us believe in ourselves.” It was part of a reform (改革) at Li’s school. The school made this reform because they wanted to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances to discuss.“Our school hopes it can improve students’ abilities (能力) to study by themselves and work in groups,”said Jason, an English teacher.However, the reform has demanded (要求) more from teachers. Now they have only 15 minutes to give the lesson which should be taught in 45 minutes before. It is difficult to teach in such a short time. The teachers have to find better ways to teach more effectively.“The reform demands more, but I’m sure it is helpful,”added Jason.1．（小题1）．After the new classroom arrangement it was easier for Wang Yang and her classmates toin class.A．discuss with each other B．sit in the classroomC．push desks together D．teach a lesson2．（小题2）．The school made the reform in order to provide students with to study．A．easier ways B．noisier classesC．more seats D．fewer chances3．（小题3）．The Chinese meaning of the word “effectively” in this passage is.A．简单地B．明确地C．认真地D．有效地4．（小题4）．Jason thinks the reform is .A．terrible B．awfulC．helpful D．useless5．（小题5）．The bes t title of this passage may be “”.A．Students’ Friendship B．New Look in ClassC．Teachers’ Hope D．Discussion in ClassB14、(A) Have you ever had an embarrassing（尴尬的）experience?Tony: I had just started teaching in a Liverpool secondary school.

I had put on one black shoe and one brown shoe!Henry: After seeing a film, we decided to walk along the street. The street was very busy and we started holding hands. Suddenly my wife saw a dress that she liked in a shop window, and stopped. I started looking at some watches in the next window. After a minute or two I reached for my wife's hand. There was a loud scream(尖叫), and a girl slapped(掴) my face！I hadn't taken my wife's hand. I'd taken the hand of a girl!James: I had decided to buy a new house, and I'd made an appointment (约定)to see our bank manager. I'd never met him before.

However, students in a British grammar school really enjoy running on the corridor tiles (瓷砖) and their teachers even encourage them to do that. Why? It is because the corridor was built with special kinetic (动能的) tiles. When students jump on the tiles, electricity will be produced. After one year, the electricity produced from the tiles can fully charge 853 mobile phones or power(供电) an electric car to drive seven miles. It’s amazing, isn’t it?The corridor tiles are really a brilliant invention. Students can not only play on the corridor, but also help power the lights in their school corridors and other equipment in their classrooms. Besides, this is a good way to teach students to be creative. They will beinspiredto be scientists, inventors and engineers in the future to find clean energy for all humans.The inventor of the magic corridor tiles is Laurence Kemball-Cook. He was once a student in this school. Now, he is CEO of his own company. The corridor tiles are not La urence’s only invention. He has also invented a special dance floor, which can be used at music festivals. It allows dancers to charge their mobile phones while they are dancing on the dance floor.1．Why do the students in the passage enjoy running on the corridor tiles?A．Because the corridor tiles are expensive.B．Because the teachers ask them to do that.C．Because the corridor was built with special tiles.D．Because students like running and jumping.2．After one year, the electricity produced from the tiles can provide enough energy for _______.A．over 800 mobile phonesB．all the lights of the schoolC．an electric car to drive 70 milesD．the lights and other equipment in their classrooms.3．The underlined word “inspired” most probably means “ _________”.A．encouraged B．forcedC．trained D．allowed4．What else has Laurence invented besides the corridor tiles from the passage?A．A mobile phone. B．A music player.C．An electric car D．A special dance floor.5．According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Students are not allowed to walk in the corridor.B．Laurence once studied in the British grammar school.C．Laurence has more than one company of his own.D．All the corridor in British schools was built with special kinetic tiles.D16、When someone who is in good health dies suddenly ,there is usually an inquest(审问)．A coroner(验尸官)will do it．His job is to find out exactly how a person died．If there is nothing suspicious(可疑的)about the death，he will decide that the person died fromnatural causes or an accident．if, however ,he is suspicious，he may decide that the person’s death was caused by a person or persons unknown．One day the coroner was trying to find out exactly what had caused the death of a local businessman，Henry Watson．The man’s wife was explaining something．She was very sad and had to stop from time to time．The coroner did not want to make her sadder than necessary ,but he had to find out the truth．There were questions he had to ask．“Mrs．Watson，I know this is painful for you，”he said，“but i want you to think very carefully and then answer my questions．You and your husband were having dinner at home．Is that correct? ”“Yes．”‘‘Suddenly he fell to the floor? ”“Yes．”“You stood up and hurried to him ?You knelt(跪下)beside him ?His stomach was in great pain? ”“Yes．”“Did he say anything? ”The wife kept her head down．“Please，Mrs．Watson，you must answer the question．What were his last words? ”The wife took a deep breath and then spoke．“He said，”She replied in a very low voice，“I'm not surprised that seafood we had for dinner cost you only 50 cents，”1．What is the purpose(目的)of an inquest when a healthy person dies suddenly?A．To help the poor family．B．To do a research on death．C．To find out the cause of death．D．To ask questions about the person．2．Where did Henry Watson die?A．In his company B．In a restaurant．C．In a fish shop D．At home．3．What was the probable cause of Henry Watson’s death?A．Eating the food that went bad．B．Getting too old．C．Having a serious heart attack．D．Being murdered by his cook．4．According to the story ,what would probably happen to the wife after this inquest?A．She would become a bad woman．B．She would never buy any seafood．C．She would be much healthier．D．She would ask the coroner to keep the secret．E17、Rome, Paris and New York are the world's top fashion cities, all of which have produced some of the top trends, form high-low skirts to the hottest new shoes. However, have you ever wondered the negative(消极的)ideas that they've broughtIn April 2016, the Advertising Standard Authority(ASA) in Britain stopped an ad from Gucci that has models dancing around and having fun, because the models in the ad were all quite thin. (Gucci, a famous brand(品牌)in the fashion industry and the company in question, said, "It was a personal idea as to whether a model looked unhealthily thin." It isn't new to us. The ASA stopped an ad in the year 2015 for the same reason. In France, it has been ruled that models areto provide a doctor's note which could prove that they are at a healthy weight.This brings up the question of weight, a hot topic for some people. What is the healthy weight for models? While I couldn't find an exact number, I did find this. According to ABC News, "Twenty years ago, the average(平均)fashion model weighed 8 percent less than the average woman. Today, she weighs 23 percent less." This is worrying. When has it ever been okay for anyone, models included, to weigh less than the average?People may think that being at an unhealthy weight will help him have the advantages that the models do. This provides a standard of beauty, and therefore people who want to achieve those things may try to do this through unhealthy ways. People may also think that they are overweight, compared to the images(形象)of models' thin bodies. They see something wrong with their bodies, whether they are overweight or not. This may make people feel bad, unconfident about their bodies. Sometimes people may have eating problems.I'm not blaming(指责)the fashion industry. It's not their fault(错误)that many people look up to the models and expect to live a life like their. I am glad that the ASA is raising its voices when discussing the growing problem of body image in the fashion industry. By stopping the photos and videos, speaking out against them and pushing for doctors' notes from the videos, it's pushing for the idea that the traditional fashion industry's body image standard should be changed and something more needy to be questioned.1．What does Gucci mean by what it says?A．Gucci has the right to choose models they like.B．Gucci has lost a lot of money.C．Gucci feels sorry for not choosing the right models.D．Gucci shouldn't be blamed as there're no exact weight standards.2．The numbers mentioned in Paragraph 3 show that .A．people don't know why models weigh lessB．many women are eating less to become thinnerC．weight problems of the models are more seriousD．being too thin causes health problems to models3．What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about?A．The advantages of having a thin figure.B．The bad influence of models' thin images.C．The methods for having a good image.D．People's thoughts towards models' images.4．What's the possible purpose of the ASA′s measure s(措施)?A．To improve the working conditions models are traced with.B．To set new standard of model's body imageC．To make people have a proper idea of body image.D．To keep us the good tradition in the fashion industry.F18、When Isaac Theil let a sleepy stranger take a little catnap on his shoulder, it was because ＂I simply remembered the times my own head would bop on someone’s shoulder because I was so tired after a long day, ＂he said to Tova Ross of Tablet Magazine.Another subway rider was so struc k by Theil’s nonchalant(若无其事的，冷淡的) empathy that he snapped a picture and put it on Reddit, from which it was then posted to Facebook.

Cats always like to catch mice.

Hekicked up a small piece of rock. The rock went up to the air then dropped down hitting a baby cat. The baby cat was only a few weeks old.

He told his friends, the other mice, “Everybody says that a mouse is afraid of a cat, but today a cat was afraid of me.” So the mouse said that he would not run away any more.

Of course，things have changed and life is very different.Trips to the moon are being made every day. Taking a holiday on the moon today is as easy as taking a holiday in Europe in 2010’s. At a number of scenic spots(风景胜地) on the moon，many hotels have been built. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon，every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for the entertainment(娱乐) of the young and old.What are people eating now? People are still eating food. But many foods now come in pill(药片) form，and the foodthat goes into the pill comes mainly from green plants.Because people in the world today are many more than those about fifty years ago，most of the earth’s surface has to be filled. The deserts areirrigatedwith water and crops are no longer eaten by pests(害虫). The harvest is always good. Farming，of course，is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just using a few computers.People are now largely vegetarians，and they eat only bread，vegetables，fruit and so on and they don’t eat meat or fish. You see，as the number of people increases，the number of animals decreases. So people have to be vegetarians. We are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds，and we know how to deal with all kinds of illnesses. No one has to be ill any more.Such would be our life in 2060.1．What will be on the moon in 2060 according to the passage?A．Many green plants B．Many interesting placesC．Many wild animals D．Many pests2．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ irrigated”?A．冲刷B．淹没C．灌溉D．烦恼3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．People only eat foods in pill formB．People don’t have plenty of crops.C．People run the farms by using high technology.D．People will not die.4．Why do people have to be vegetarians in 2060?A．Because there will be more people and fewer animals.B．Because vegetables can make the patients well.C．Because they want to be healthier.D．Because there will be no other animals.F18、Dick lived in England.

Everyone has a place in line; let’s go to find yours.＂We lined up to enter the school. Just as she was about to hold on to my leg, her friend from preschool stood next to her.

The left hand is used for washing yourself. Also in India, 'when you see a man shaking his head, you may think he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India a shake of the head shows agreement or acceptance. Nodding your head when you are offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty. In that country you shake your head to say "yes'--a nod means "no". The Arabs are famous for their hospitality(好客). At a meal in the Arabic countries, you will find that any drinking vessel(器皿) is filled again and again as soon as you drain it. The way to show that you have had enough is to take the cup or glass in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting talking to someone, even at an important meeting. Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand, however, could make him or her unhappy. It is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion. Also when in Thailand you are not supposed to touch the head of an adult-- it's just not done. In Japan, it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainment for themselves and leave their wives at home. In Europe such attitudes are disappearing.Customs differ from country to country. Visitors may be at a loss as to what to do in a foreign environment. Remember the rule: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.1．In which country a left-hand is not welcomed?A．Thailand. B．India. C．Japan.

Most of those surveyed (68%) disagree with the opinion that reading is boring, or old-fashioned.Teens Read Variety of MaterialOver half the teenagers interviewed said they read more than ten books a year.

TV would be difficult to give up for 25% of those surveyed.____Another survey which is published by www. studied the differences between teenage boys’ and girls’ reading habits.

Snow may fall, but students won’t be able to spend the days sledding(滑雪橇). Classes will continue online. Officials say that holding electronicworkdays(e-days) will help students keep up with their studies. It will also prevent requiring students to make up schooldays later in June.Which would you prefer: spending a cold day on a computer, or sitting in school in June when you should be on vacation? Jordan Dewar, a student reporter, holds the opinion that having online work on a snow day is the better choice. “You would be working on a day that you already planned on having schoolwork.”“Having extra days of school in summer can interfere with(妨碍) families’ vacation plans. Besides, what if your school does not have air-conditioning? Imagine sweating through seven hours at school on a hot June day when you could have been relaxing by a pool with your family. Doesn’t an e-day sound better than that?” Jordan Dewar said.For some students, it would be easier to concentrate(专注) on e-days than on makeup days. “Y ou can do a little work online, go play, and then come back later,” says Rachel Meyers, 12. “But on June days you would just have to sit there for seven hours, thinking about how you could be outside, so you lose focus.”There are some students arguing that it’s not fair to ditch snow days, however. They say that snow days give them a much-needed break. They also note that missing a day here and there is not enough to put them behind. Most students in Silver Valley School think one problem of e-days is that sometimes siblings(兄弟姐妹们) have to share computers at home. In addition, it punishes the students who don’t have computers at home. When school starts again after e-days, these students will be left behind and have to work double-time to catch up with others.“School budget cuts(预算削减) across the country are expected to continue into the 2017-2018 school year.” the American Association of School Administrators(AASA) Web site states. “The school wouldn’t be able to afford both online class es and taking care of the school,” Austin Krewson, an eighth grader, says.Moreover, electricity is likely to be cut off during snowstorms. If kids don’t have power at home, the money and the time in running the new program would be wasted.1．What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A．Officials suggest students should have more schooldays in June.B．Officials believe snow days put students behind in their studies.C．Students have to end snow days earlier than planned.D．Students won’t have sledding classes at sc hool.2．The student reporter, Jordan Dewar, believes that _____.A．siblings can help each other with their studies on e-daysB．students can learn better on e-days than on makeup daysC．having e-days in winter will save the cost of air-conditioningD．students should study online when it snows heavily on weekdays3．What does the word “ditch” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A．give up B．put off C．carry out D．pay for4．The writer mentions the statements on the AASA Web site to _____.A．explain the reason to hold the e-day programB．show the difficulty of running the e-day programC．suggest government should spend more money on educationD．stress why some students can’t afford computers for online classesB14、Most young boys like spending time on things like video games, superhero movies and sports, but Ken, a 9-year-old boy from the Philippines, is spending his free time trying to start an animal shelter（庇护所）for at-risk dogs.In February, photos of Ken feeding dogs on the street circled the Internet and immediately attracted many people who wanted to help.

I was managing behavior all morning and by lunch time, I knew I needed coffee to even consider surviving the afternoon. So on my lunch break, I drove to a coffee shop nearby to get a cup of coffee. While returning to the car I realized I had locked my keys and my phone inside! I had about 15 minutes to get back to the school which was a good 4- or 5- minute drive away. I considered rushing back, but it being winter, I thought a fall on ice would only make the situation much worse.So I ran into a McDonald’s and asked the man at the counter (柜台) who happened to be the manager to please call me a taxi. I explained my situation to him, and I could tell by the look in his eyes, that he took pity. He hurried to the back to use the phone while I walked in the restaurant. I had less than 10 minutes to get back to my school at this point.The manager returned only to tell me that the taxi company had put him on hold and then the line got disconnected, and that he was now on hold again, but had not yet been able to ask for the taxi yet.Without a thought, he caught his coat and offered to drive me to the school. Immediately I followed him into his car and made it back into my classroom with 2 minutes left before the bell!While arriving at the school, I thanked this man endlessly. His calm behavior and kind nature made me think he was probably a wonderful manager to work for, and also a wonderful human being to have on his earth. This experience makes me realize that out of every hopeless situation, there is the chance for acts of kindness to happen, which can create an unimaginable impression to those who receive them.1．Why did the writer want to get a cup of coffer?A．Because he was very thirsty at that time.B．Because he was only interested in drinking coffee.C．Because he had to make himself fresh for the classes in the afternoon.D．Because he wanted to do something special to pass the whole afternoon.2．The writer _______ so he gave up the idea of going back to school on foot when he found his keys and phone were locked inside the car.A．was too tired to walk further B．was afraid of falling down on iceC．asked the manager to call him a cab D．decided to take a school bus3．The writer has probably stayed in the McDonald’s for about ______.A．15 minutes B．8-9 minutes C．4-5 minutes D．2 minutes4．What kind of person is the manager?A．Intellectual.

Then she looked through the window at her neighbor across the yard. “She is in my garden again. Those are my strawberries, not hers. Maybe I should call the police.”Her friend, Dor is, was sitting at the table with a cup of coffee in her hands. “ You want to call the police because she picks your strawberries?” she asked.“Of course,” Molly answered angrily. “ What would you do if your neighbor walked into your yard without your perm ission and picked your strawberries?”“ I would say, better her than the bees.”“ The bees don’t take my strawberries.”“But the birds do,” Doris continued. “ That old lady only picks a few strawberries every year, and the only ones she picks are those you leave to the birds. Why don’t you pick some of your good strawberries and give them to her?”“ Are you crazy? What are you thinking?’“ Don’t you remember what happened when you were in hospital last year? She went to see you and gave you a pot full of ch icken soup. When you give her the strawberries you can tell her that you still remember that.”Molly was shocked. She had almost forgotten that little kindness because she was too angry. Then she picked a basket of good strawberries and went out.

One of the reasons for this is that many of us out there just simply do not know what to look for when we go fishing.Finding a place for fishing is the most important of all. All beaches are different. Some are just flat shallow sandy bottoms and in most cases they have very little to offer the fisherman. Others may look as though they are flat andlif eless but have a drop off just off the shore (a gutter) and this is a good attractant for fish. If you don’t know whether you are in a good fishing place, you can check your surroundings. For example, if you see other people catching fish or have caught some, then it might be a good place to fish.However, remember patience is very important while fishing. Being quiet is nearly as important as being patient. Noise can scare fish away or make them stop eating the bait(鱼饵). Conversation is OK, but jumping or running is not.Fish may hit the bait, so it’s difficult for you to judge if they eat it. If you see the bobber(浮标) go under the water, it usually means the fish has taken the bait in its mouth. Then it is time for you to pull your pole out of water quickly. 1．What does the underlined saying in Paragraph 1 mean?A．Most fishers can’t catch many fish.B．Most beaches are not good for fishing.C．A lot of people love fishing very much.D．A lot of people are good at fishing.2．What is the most important thing when fishing?A．Finding a good place. B．Being quiet.C．Being patient. D．Being quick.3．Which of the following is NOT allowed while fishing?①making noise ②talking ③jumping ④runningA．①②④B．①③④C．②③④D．①②③④4．When should we pull pole out of water quickly?A．When the fish hits the bait.B．When the bobber goes under the water.C．When the bobber goes up and down.D．When there are many fish around the bobber.5．The passage is mainly about _____.A．where to find a good place for fishing B．when we can go fishingC．some tips on fishing D．the importance of fishingB14、A story tells about an elder villager who led other villagers carrying salt day and night to a town in order to buy food for the winter. One night they camped in an open air with a starry sky above. The elder villager, following the tradition passed down from ancestors, took out three blocks(块) of salt and threw them into the campfire to tell the change of weather in the mountains.All people waited for the old man's "weather report": if the salt in the fire produced crackling sound(爆裂声), they would have good weather; if no sound was produced, it then meant the good weather would soon end and a storm would come at any moment.The elder villager looked serious. The salt in the campfire made no sound at all. He urged the whole team to set out immediately. A young man in the group thought it absurdly(荒谬地)superstitious(迷信的) to "forecast the weather by using salt".It was not until the next afternoon, the weather suddenly changed, with cold winds blowing and a snowstorm coming. In fact, the method used by the elder man could be well explained by modern science: whether or not salt produces sound in campfire depends on air humidity(湿度).That is to say, when a snowstormapproaches, lead to high humidity, the salt blocks will not produce any sound in fire.Young people often don’t mind the philosophy(哲学) of the old, regarding their ideas as out date and useless. To be honest, however, some beliefs in life are just like salt blocks that are distilled(蒸馏) from the sea: old as they are, they remain crystals(结晶), and carry with them deep memories of the sea.根据材料内容选择最佳答案，将其标号填入题前括号内。
