ADanez Smith, one of America's most popular young poets and the author of Don't Call Us Dead, recommends his 5 favorite books.Lilith 's Brood by Octavia E. Butler (1989)This book about aliens from the novelist who predicted "Make America Great Again" asks necessary questions about the harmful structures which we put our faith in despite our intelligence, and also how or if we will evolve out of our most dangerous selves. An essential, human book — with aliens!The Collected Poems of Lucille Clifton (2012)The book is my bible. Open up to any page and Clifton delivers a word. Whether the subject is roaches, family, death, or surviving, she has a poem for all occasions. She can create the most complicated magic out of the simplest words.Man vs. Sky by Corey Zeller (2013)In his brief prose poems, Zeller represents the voice of a recently dead friend as he travels through the afterlife. Besides attracting me with its beauty to this day, it taught me that we can offer the dead not just our grief but our imaginations and dreams as well. My Hero Academia by Kohei Horikoshi (2014)I'm a big fan for high school drama, superpowers, good-hearted heroes, and complicated bad characters. This manga(动漫) series is one of my favorite escapes. In a world where everybody and their mama has a superpower (literally), what makes someone a hero isn't about power or strength but about the desire to make people smile. Instant tears.Deus Ex Nigrum by Jasmine Reid (2019)I recently picked this chapbook for a prize. It's a marvel of language and heart. Reid'slyrics map the ordinary and the extraordinary with rare and invigorating skill. In a world and a country ever dangerous to the black people, this poet says," If I am to be a twist ending, let it be that I lived." I am so excited to follow Reid's poems into the future. 1．Which author describes people from other planets?A．Kohei Horikoshi. B．Octavia E. Butler.C．Jasmine Reid. D．Corey Zeller.2．In which book can we find something about racial justice?A．Lilith's Brood. B．My Hero Academia.C．Man vs. Sky. D．Deus Ex Nigrum.3．What can we learn from the text?A．Clifton makes full use of simple words.B．My Hero Academia has won National Book Award.C．In a world of superpowers, people have a desire to smile.D．Corey Zeller's friend was very creative and imaginative.BMr. Utterson was a lawyer who was good-natured to his friends. His companions were usually distant relations from his own family, or friends that he had known for a long time.One friend in particular was Mr. Richard Enfield, a distant relative, and a well-known man in London. The two men were very different, but they always went for a long Sunday walk together. People who saw them out on their walk reported that they rarely spoke. However, they would even cancel other appointments in order to go and enjoy their walks without interruption.One day, while they were out on their walk together, they were strolling (漫步) along a small quiet street. It was all clean and attractive except for one building two storeys high.As they passed, Mr. Enfield asked Mr. Utterson if he had ever noticed the dirty door, because it reminded him of a very strange story.“No,” said Mr. Utterson. “What story was that?”“Well,” replied Mr. Enfield. “Once, I was coming home this way at about 3 am on adark winter’s night, and the whole area was very quiet and deserted. But then suddenly I saw two people. One was a small unpleasant-looking man walking along this street at a good speed. The second was a small girl, about eight or nine years old, running as fast as she could. Well, the two met at the corner and ran into each other. The unusual thing was that instead of stopping and apologizing, the little man, quite on purpose, stamped (踩) hard on the girl as she lay on the ground, screaming with pain.”“It was a terrible thing to see. I shouted out and chased the man, caught him and brought him back to where he had knocked down the girl. The noise had attracted a small crowd of people, including some of the girl’s family, who were very angry with the man. He did not apologize, nor was he sorry for what had happened. We all told him that we would make a lot of trouble for him if he did not pay for his actions.”“The man agreed to pay one hundred pounds to the family. As he did not have that amount of money with him, he said he had to go and get a cheque. He went to the house with the door we are looking at now, and came out with another man’s cheque for almost one hundred pounds at four o’clock in the morning. Therefore w made him stay at my house until the banks opened. Then we went to cash the cheque. I handed it over myself and was sure that it would be a forgery, but to my surprise, it was real”4．What can learn about Mr. Utterson and Mr. Enfield?A．They often canceled their appointments. B．They attached importance to their walks. C．They became friends a long time ago. D．They were often followed by reporters. 5．What happened to the little man and the girl at the street corner?A．He knocked into the girl on purpose. B．He chased the girl and shouted at her. C．He attacked the small girl violently. D．He stopped and apologized to the girl. 6．Why did he finally agree to pay one hundred pounds?A．Because he had a feeling of guilt. B．Because he was afraid to lose face. C．Because he made a lot of trouble. D．Because he was under great pressure. 7．What does the underlined word “forgery” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Something mistaken. B．Something unbelievable.C．Something illegally copied. D．Something poorly organized.CFacial expressions are the primary way people exhibit emotion and read the feelings of others. Happiness, sadness, disgust, fear and surprise can be communicated through facial expressions alone. But when part of the face is masked, it becomes more difficult to recognize these cues.If you cannot read someone else' s emotional state, your ability to empathize with them may be compromised. Likewise, if your own mask is hiding your emotional state, others may not be able to empathize with you. Wearing a mask can also make you feel more distracted and self-conscious, further weakening your connection to others.Fortunately, you can regain some control over communication by working with what you have left-the eyes. If you want to increase understanding with a masked individual, you should look them in the eyes, which may be easier said than done. Eye contact generates self- consciousness, consumes extra brain power and becomes uncomfortable after only three seconds. But bear in mind, eye contact can also make you appear more intelligent and trustworthy.You might be surprised how much information is conveyed by the body itself. For instance, when someone is happy, they stand up straighter, when they are sad, they drop their head; and when they are angry, their whole body tenses up. Learning how people use their bodies to convey emotion may help reduce the uncertainty you feel when communicating with someone in a mask.Become aware of your own body language, too. When engaged in a conversation, you can appear more attentive by turning your body toward the individual, leaning in or nodding. To let another person know you want to start speaking , straighten your posture, or nod more frequently. Finally, he «ware that imitating the posture of another person can increase how much they like you and even agree with you.By all means, continue the proper measures to keep yourself safe, but don't neglect your relationships as a consequence. Social distance doesn't have to mean socially distant. 8．What will happen if you wear a mask?A．Your fear won't be known by others. B．Others will have difficulty understanding you.C．You will lose the ability to empathize with others. D．Others won't focus on your face.9．Why is eye contact difficult?A．It may lead to misunderstanding. B．It requires more brain power.C．It may cause people to believe you less. D．It will result in social distance. 10．What does paragraph 4 and 5 mainly talk about?A．Body language is a double-edged sword. B．Body language can convey shocking information.C．We should make good use of body language. D．Be careful with your body language when talking.11．What is the best title of this passage?A．How do people use their bodies to convey emotion?B．Facial expressions, the primary way of human connection.C．Facial expressions, eye contact, body language, which is the best?D．How do we keep socially distant to keep ourselves safe?DEach day, 10-year-old Seth asked his mom for more and more lunch money. Yet he seemed skinnier than ever and came home from school hungry. It turned out that Seth was handing his lunch money to fifth-grader, who was threatening to beat him up if he didn’t pay.Most kids have been teased by a brother or a friend at some point. And it’s not usually harmful when done in a playful and friendly way, and both kids find it funny. But when teasing becomes hurtful, unkind, and constant, it crosses the line into bullying and needs to stop.Bullying is intentional tormenting（折磨）in physical or psychological ways. It can range from hitting, name-calling, threats, and mocking (嘲弄) to blackmailing money and possessions. Some kids bully others by deliberately separating them and spreading rumors about them. Others use social media or electronic messaging to tease others or hurt their feelings.It’s important to take bullying seriously and not just brush it off as something that kids have to tolerate. The effects can be serious and affect kids’ sense of safety andself-worth. In severe cases, bullying has contributed to tragedies, such as suicides and school shootings.Kids bully for a variety of reasons. Sometimes they pick on kids because they need a victim—someone who seems emotionally or physically weaker, or just acts or appears different in some way—to feel more important, popular, or in control. Although some bullies are bigger or stronger than their victims, that’s not always the case.Sometimes kids torment others because that’s the way they’ve been treated. They may think their behavior is normal because they come from families or other settings where everyone regularly gets angry and shouts or calls each other names. Some popular TV shows even seem to promote meanness—people are “voted off”, ignored, or ridiculed for their appearance or lack of talent.Unless your child tells you about bullying—or has visible injuries—it can be difficult to figure out if it’s happening.12．What is the author’s purpose of telling Seth’s story?A．To introduce the topic. B．To raise public concern.C．To analyse the cause. D．To display harmful effects.13．The phrase “brush it off” in paragraph 4 means ________.A．removing bullying B．ignoring bullyingC．avoiding bullying D．stressing bullying14．Why does bullying exist in schools?A．Bullies consider school bullying interesting and rewarding.B．Bullies want to dominate everyone physically and mentally.C．Bullies have taken the behavior from their original families.D．Bullies are intentionally taught by some popular TV shows.15．What is predicted to convey in the following session of the passage?A．Signs of bullying. B．Love for kids.C．Problems of bullying. D．Advice for kids.二、七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

【市级联考】辽宁省大连市2020-2021学年高二普通高中学生学业水平考试模拟英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读选择1．When you take Reading in the Digital Age, you will ________.A．walk into different people's lifeB．learn ways of understanding textsC．get better at computer skillsD．share opinions with literary scholars2．Who will help students better understand the themes of Shakespeare's plays? A．Actors. B．Scholars.C．Historians. D．Video tutors.3．What can people learn from The European Discovery of China?A．China's discovery of the West.B．The rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty.C．The importance of the Silk Road.D．China's interest in Western travellers.4．What are the subjects of these online courses?A．Science and history.B．Media and health.C．Nature and environment.D．Language and culture.5．In which way do the three courses have in common?A．They are aimed at students.B．They are provided for free.C．Each lasts 6 weeks.D．Each takes 2 hours per week.When you are sitting in class, have you ever drawn pictures in the margins (页边的空白处) of your notebooks? If so, you are doodling. Many people think of doodling as a distraction (分心) from more important things. But it might be just the opposite.One study shows that doodling may help you remember things you hear 29% more. Besides, doodling can help you think creatively. Walking away from a problem to draw mightactually help you solve it. When you come back, you’ll have a fresh perspective and figure out an answer more quickly.An author named Sunni Brown wrote a book on doodling. She argues that doodling is a tool that can help people think. In fact, she runs a business that helps companies improve organization and planning through doodling. Brown believes doodling is helpful because it includes many ways of learning. You learn in four ways: seeing, hearing, reading or writing, and through movement. The more ways you use, the better you learn. And when you doodle while listening to a lecture, you use all four.You might think that being good at drawing is important for doodling. But if the point of doodling is to help yo u think, then it doesn’t matter what the picture looks like. Even if you’re not an artist, doodling can help you. So next time you need help focusing, pick up a pen and doodle away!6．The passage mainly tells us the ________ of doodling.A．advantages B．disadvantagesC．effects D．problems7．What does the underlined word “perspective” probably mean in Paragraph 2?A．体验B．观点C．困扰D．机会8．How does Sunni Brown feel about doodling?A．It helps remember better. B．It helps think creatively.C．It involves four ways of learning. D．It needs drawing skills. 9．According to the text, it is helpful to doodle when ________.A．you want to focus your attention. B．you have a conversation.C．you wonder in the park. D．you watch a movie.10．Where is the passage possibly taken from?A．A book review. B．A message board.C．A student textbook. D．A science magazine.My summer hols wr CWOT. B4, WE USED 2go 2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & thr 3 :-@ KIDS FTF. ILNY, its gr8.Can you understand this sentence? If you can’t, don’t feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: thelanguage of computerized communication found on the Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language.School teachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming (破坏) the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes can be seen in students’ writing. They fear the language could become corrupted (面目全非的).Everyone should just relax, say linguists (语言学家). They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nurnberg, f rom Stanford University, agrees. “People get better at writing by writing,” he says. “Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents.”Linguist James Milroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And when today’s teenagers become tomorrow’s parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become “corrupted”; they simply c hange to meet the new needs.However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, “I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it’s important that they tell their pupils th at text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future.”11．What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A．To give the main idea. B．To raise a question.C．To compare an example. D．To lead in the topic.12．Who can understand the Netspeak in England?A．Middle school teachers. B．Parents.C．Linguistics. D．Teenagers.13．Who believes Netspeak users can help improve writing?A．Cynthia McVey B．David CrystalC．Geoffrey Nurnberg D．James Milroy14．What’s James Milroy’s attitude toward Netspeak?A．Positive. B．Negative.C．Doubtful. D．Worried.15．What can be the best title for the passage?A．Netspeak: the Language on the InternetB．Is Netspeak Helpful in Language Learning?C．Is Netspeak Harming the English Language?D．Netspeak: Advantages and Disadvantages二、七选五We need to be responsible for our environment. Being a frugal consumer (节俭的消费者) is one way to help. 16．Use It Up.You can use things up instead of wasting them. Squeeze (挤) that last bit of toothpaste out of the tube. 17．Don’t throw away any bits of the biscuit at the bottom of the box.Wear It Out.You do not always need to have new things. Suppose your sneakers (运动鞋) have broken laces (鞋带) , but they still fit you. Repai r them and wear them longer. You don’t have to have the latest iPhone until the old one doesn’t work any more. Then you can get a new one. 18．Make It Do.When something you want is not on hand, look for something else that you already have to take its place. Suppose you are packing your lunch for tomorrow and want a butter sandwich. You are out of butter. Have a cheese sandwich instead so you can use all of the cheese. Learn to fix broken toys instead of just throwing them away. 19．20．Think about all those things that you would like to have. Do you really need them? How long will you really play with that new toy you saw on TV? Making the things that we want uses up our world’s resources (资源). And, getting rid of the things we don’t want any more takes up even more resources and space.A．Do without it.B．Throw it away.C．What exactly does that mean?D．Do you know what to consume?e the last little piece of soap.F.With a little thought, you can make something do.G.Think twice before replacing something that still works.三、完形填空Several weeks ago, our headmaster, Mr. Gaudi, told us that our school had been chosen to compete on Smart Aleck—a game show which my best friend Carla and I both love. Carla has a good imagination, 21 I know a lot of history. So we thought we’d be good 22 for the team.A few days later, Mr. Gaudi held a meeting with everyone interested in the 23 . He told us that Smart Aleck uses a five member team. He also said that three more people would be needed as backup (替补). 24 , four times that many students were at the meeting. So Mr. Gaudi said we would have a 25 among all the students present and the top 26 scorers would become the team and the backup. Everybody agreed that this was a 27 way to decide.Yesterday, all of the hopefuls went to the dining hall after school. We would have to28 the starting line-up（阵容）. Mr. Gaudi acted as the 29 . After a couple of hours, all the 30 on the team were set except one. Carla and I 31 for that last position. We had to hold a one-on-one competition 32 the two of us. The winner would be on the team and the loser would be the 33 .Midway through our two-person competition, I was starting to pull ahead. 34 I saw the look on Carla’s face.

ASam is a fourth-year student at Harvard Medical School, but poetry is still a big part of his life, now with a new teacher, Rafael Campo, who believes poetry can benefit every doctor's education and work. Rafael is a physician, professor and a highly respected poet.“Poetry is in every encounter with my patients. I think healing is really in a very great way about poetry. And if we do anything when we re with our patients, we’re really immersing ourselves in their stories, really hearing their voices. And, certainly, that's what a poem does,” he said.Rafael worries that something important has been lost in medicine and medical education today: humanity, which he finds in poetry. To end that, he leads a weekly reading and writing workshop for medical students and residents(住院医生).He thinks medical training focuses too much on distancing the doctor from his or her patients, and poems can help close that gap.Third-year resident Andrea Schwartz was one of the workshop regulars. She said, “I think there's no other profession other than medicine that produces as many writers as it does. And I think that is because there's just so much power in doctors and patients interacting when patients are at their saddest.” Not everyone believes that's what doctors should do, though.Rafael said, “I was afraid of how people might judge me, actually. In the medical profession, as many people know, we must always put the emergency first. But, you know, that kind of treatment, if it's happening in the hospital, very regrettably, sadly, results in a bad outcome. The family is sting by the bedside. The patient hasn't survived the cancer.Don't we still have a role as healers there?”In a poem titled “Health”, Rafael writes of the wish to live forever in a world made painless by our incurable joy. He says he will continue teaching students. helping patients and wring poems, his own brand of medicine.1．What message does the writer attempt to convey in Paragraph 2?A．The present relationship between patients and doctors.B．The significance of medical training.C．The impact of poetry in medical treatment.D．Poetry and medical work have much in common.2．What does Andrea Schwaflz think of poetry?A．It comforts patients' family.B．It has nothing to do with doctors.C．It contributes to medical work.D．It keeps doctors away from patients.3．Which of the following can best describe Rafael Campo's view on poetry?A．It can provide a useful tool for doctors.B．It requires a lot of spare time.C．it has little effect on patients' conditions.D．It should be included in emergency treatments.BIt’s normal to long for the taste of potato chips or a cheese-covered pizza. Even though they’re full of calories, eating them occasionally won't do much harm. However, according to the new numbers, young people are becoming more gluttonous. The BBC's Good Food Nation Survey showed that on average, 16 to 20-year-olds ate fast food at least twice a day in the UK. So what's behind this fast food binge (狂热)?WebMD, an online publisher of news and information of human health and well-being, surveyed nearly 600 teenagers and adults in the United States. They found that the most common reason was our busy lifestyle. More than 92.3 percent of respondents said they were too busy to cook. Many find it challenging to balance work and life, and the convenienceof fast food meets their needs. Fast food is readily available in corner stores and vending machines. Remember those instant noodle cups from the supermarket? They're ready in minutes, and you can store them at home for a long time.But many people think this trend does no good. Sarah Toule, head of health information at World Cancer Research Fund, told the BBC, “It's frightening that people, especially younger generations, are eating so much fast food loaded with fat, sugar and salt, but offers little nutritional value.” She added, “Especially high in calories, fast food leads to unhealthy weight gain—which in turn increases the risk of 11 cancers later in life.”So what is the right thing to do? Toule suggested that young people should prepare meals in advance and learn to include the different food groups in their diets.4．What does the underlined phrase “more gluttonous” in paragraph 1 mean? A．Lazier. B．Healthier. C．Smarter. D．Greedier.5．What is the main idea of paragraph 2?A．People should make a change to their busy lifestyle.B．Nowadays people have more challenges both in work and life.C．Fast food helps people balance their work and life.D．Fast food is becoming popular with teenagers and adults.6．In Sarah Toule's view, fast food ______________.A．is easy to prepare ahead of timeB．will lead to 11 cancersC．can help lose weightD．can't provide enough nutrition for eatersCBefore traveling around the world, take some time and find out what sightseeing destinations are. Some of those spots that most guides mention are the following thrilling attractions.Victoria FallsVictoria Falls has always been considered to be an incredible place worth taking pictures of. There are a lot of spots that tourists love. Some of them are very dangerousfor people. Yet the brave are ready to overcome their fear for a shot of lifetime.Arctic Cliff FaceA cliff does not make the most comfortable place for camping. Camping on the ground is far safer anyway. Despite all the inconvenience, the new trend is rapidly gaining popularity among climbing enthusiasts and outdoor addicts.Auckland’ Sky TowerAuckland’s Sky Tower is popular with bungee jumpers. Some celebrities, such as Beyonce, have already tried it, which proves that the place is not only safe but popular as well. The tower is 630 feet tall. At the top of the structure there is an observation deck. Trust us, most of those reading this article would prefer to stay on the ground rather than climb up this scary structure.North Yungas RoadThe Road of Death is the right name given to a road in Bolivia. Hundreds of people die here every year. The major cause of all those accidents is the road. The problem is that it is too narrow and badly maintained while here the traffic is heavier than anywhere else. Nevertheless, it seems like tourists will continue visiting this strange road despite its scary nickname.7．What is Victoria Falls famous for?A．Its narrow and badly maintained road B．Its dangerous but attractive spots for taking picturesC．Its scary structure D．Its thrilling camping8．North Yungas Road is called “the Road of Death” because ________.A．the traffic is the heaviest B．it is built on the edge of the rockC．each year many people lose their lives there D．there is no necessary protection equipment9．If you like bungee jumping, you can go to ________.A．Victoria Falls B．Arctic Cliff FaceC．Auckland’s Sky Tower D．North Yungas Road10．What do the four places have in common?A．They are a bit life-threatening.

They probably have similar hobbies to you so you can do things together. I’ve got three close friends who I was at high school with and we often go away together (without our parents of course). We always go camping and somewhere we can go walking, play football and be outside in the open air.—DavidI don’t really have any close friends. I know a lot of people but mainly through work, and the kind of social occasions (场合) when we meet are business dinners and evening parties. I think if you come from a really close family, then friends are a bit unnecessary. The little free time I have I prefer to spend with my family.—RichardI think a close friend is someone you get on really well with, who helps you when you have problems, who gives you advice, and who always has time for you. I didn’t use to have many close friends when I was at school or at university as I was very shy, but now I have several. They are all women—I think it’s difficult to have a close friend of the opposite sex (异性).—Marie For me close friends are the people you spend your free time with. I go out at weekends with a group of people —there are about seven of us, and I’d say we are all close friends. We also live near each other. I don’t think you can have close friends at a distance (在远处); you need to be able to see each other often. But I don’t think you need to be doing the same things. I mean I’m at university but none of my friends are.—Ana1.What does David enjoy?A.Going to evening parties.B.Parent-child camp.C.Playing out in the open alone.D.Physical activity.2.What does Richard say about friends?A.Friends need to have a lot in common.B.Women and men can't be close friends.C.It's hard to make friends at work.D.They're less important than family.3.Who has more friends now than before?A.Richard.B.Marie.C.Ana.D.David.4.What do we know about Ana’s friends?A.They don't live far away.B.They don't see each other often.C.They are college students.D.They are doing the same things.BIf you were to travel back in time to the tenth century, you probably wouldn’t be able to understand a sentence that anyone said to you. They’d be speaking Old English. Talking to a tenth-century Englishman, you’d probably only be able to understand a few words like “a” or “the”. Only about one-sixth of today’s English words have an Old English root (词根), with the rest having foreign influences.Gradually Old English turned into the Middle English that Chaucer wrote in — but still the official language of England was French! It was only in 1362, during Chaucer’s lifetime, that English w as used at the opening of Parliament (议会) for the first time. During the same year a law called the “Statute of Pleading” was passed, making English the official language in Parliament. In 1399, King Henry IV became the first king of England after the Norman Conquest whose mother tongue was English.English was still a language of low status (地位) — especially when it came to writing poetry (诗歌). During the 14th century, the Italians and French were creative. Great poets like Dante were writing in totally new ways. But English had no such great writers. This was where Chaucer made a difference. He took the language of the man in the street and turned it into many famous works, such as The Canterbury Tales. Chaucer proved poetry written in English could be every bit as good as books in French.Of course, the English language has continued to change since Chaucer’s day. For example, Shakespeare’s English is quite different from Chaucer’s. And it is still changing now. Until just a few years ago, “C U L8R” (see y ou later) was just a set of letters and numbers, but now most people know what it means!5.Why was Chaucer so great?A.He encouraged people to read books in French.B.He had a big influence on poets like Dante.C.He was a pioneer in writing English poems.D.He first used formal English to write.6.What happened during Chaucer’s lifetime?A.English’s status was greatly improved.B.Old English began to turn into the Middle English.C.English was used only in Parliament.D.English kings usually spoke English.7.Why did the author give the example of Shakespeare’s English?A.To explain how the Middle English changed.B.To explain English is always changing.C.To show how people respond to new words.D.To show Shakespeare’s English is unusual.8.How is the text developed?A.By comparison.B.By space.C.By time.D.By importance.CKids and science seem to be made for each other!The basic science is a combination of thought and experiment called the scientific method.It's where you start with an idea, create a way to prove or disprove your idea, and show what you learned based on facts. Learning to follow this process helps you think logically (逻辑地) and carefully. These important thinking skills can be used in many areas of study. To give a child practice with these thinking skills is like giving vitamins (维生素) to a developing mind.One of the greatest things we can teach our children is to love learning. Learning science is a great way to do so. Children are easy to be interested in science. Because much of science is hands-on, it attracts most children. Nothing makes a child sit up and take notice like the“WOW!”of a great science showing.Science opens doors to many subjects at school. Building love for science can be helpful in other areas of study. For example, one cannot love science for very long without becoming good at its language—math! So science encourages children to study math. An interest in science is an interest in how things were once understood compared to how they are understood now. Thus studying science lends itself easily to studying history. And after you do an experiment, you need to write a lab report. Therefore, writing becomes an important part of science.Science is the basic thing for much of our life. The science of farming shows how our food is produced；bio-medical science keeps us healthy；even our beds these days are designed according to scientific facts. We almost eat, sleep and breathe with the help of science！When we prepare the next generation (一代) of voters, creators, and policy makers, it is important to make sure they are not only comfortable but also good at science.9．According to Paragraph 2, what does learning the scientific method mean to kids? A．Learning many areas of study.B．Refusing any ideas that are not logical.C．Helping them develop thinking skills.D．Learning to do experiments.10．Which of the following statements would the author agree with?A．Science could make children love learning.B．Science is too difficult for children.C．Children who can't think carefully shouldn't learn science.D．Children usually consider science boring.11．If a child works hard at science at school，he/she ．A．is usually bad at such subjects like historyB．is likely to learn many other subjects wellC．usually loses interest in other activitiesD．usually has no time for other subjects12．What is the text mainly about?A．How kids can make use of science.B．Why kids should learn science.C．Why science is important.D．What kids should learn at school.DStudies have shown most people fail to realize how much time they spend on their smart-phones each day.Frank and Amelia's family were put to a test, using a free app called "Moment-screen Time Tracker". The Vascellaros—Frank, Amelia, 14--year--old twins Frankie and Joe, and 17--year--old Sam—all said they did not really know they were spending so much time on their phones each day."Honestly, I don't feel like I'm on my phone a lot," Amelia Vascellaro said. Amelia was on her phone far less often than Frank, according to the app. While Amelia spent about an hour per day on the phone, Frank spent closer to four hours on his phone—which came as a shock to him. The children's times varied but they often spent more than a couple of hours on the phone as well.Minneapolis-based Dr. Kirsten Lind Seal sees phone usage come up a lot among families. Lind Seal said many family members' phone use has become problematic."If we hear more than once, 'Do you have to be on your phone right now? Canyou please put your phone down? Did you hear what I said?' it may be a sign(征兆) that it is negatively influencing our family relationships and our daily lives," she said.Lind Seal said actually paying attention to how much time one spends on the phone is a good first step in deciding when to put it down.She asks parents to encourage more face -to -face communication for teens and young adults as they continue developing their social and emotional skills. "What we find is that we are really losing out on empathy—the ability to understand other people's feelings and problems——when we spend a lot of time on our smart-phones to communicate with other people,” she said.13.How did the Vascellaros feel about the test results?A.Doubtful.B.Satisfied.C.Surprised.D.Uninterested.14.Why did Lind Seal mention the three questions in Para 5?A.To show the importance of close relationships.B.To ask people if they use phones too much.C.To encourage people to live a simple life.D.To explain the signs of problematic phone use.15.What is the text mainly concerned with?A.Problems among family members.B.The influence of apps on teens.C.Children’s safety on the Internet.D.Too much use of smart-phones.二、七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Homework gets you down? ___16___ The advice below can help you make good preparations for your homework, so you can finish your homework more effectively(有效地).Find a quiet place to do your homework.

APlays are an essential part of British culture. The West End theatre district in London is the best place to watch a professional play, but acting also takes place in every school and village hall throughout the country.There are approximately 2,500 non-professional drama groups in the UK currently and they play a significant role in community life. People from all walks of life take on acting roles in addition to their regular jobs. They do it for fun, for the love of acting and as a way to make new contacts.Not everyone in a drama club is a skilled actor, but enthusiasm is considered to be more significant than talent. Friends, family members and neighbors take delight in getting together to watch the final performance. It offers a unique opportunity to bring communities together. Also, in many rural parts of Britain, non-professional theaters are the only chance people have to enjoy plays for miles around.Many people get a taste for acting at school. Every school puts on a play on a yearly basis, usually at Christmas, and parents love coming to watch their children perform. Ask any British person and they’re guaranteed to have pleasant memories of being in their school’s Christmas play, whether they played the role of Mary or Joseph or perhaps even a sheep or a donkey!Another Christmas theatre tradition is the pantomime. Pantomimes are a type of musical comedy for families. The audience is encouraged to participate in the performance—singing along with music and shouting to the actors. Pantomimes are really enjoyable to watch, particularly for children.British people are keen on going to the theatre, professional or not, and many of them are also fond of performing. If you have the chance, go and see a play in the UK! 1．What is not the reason for the British’s taking on acting roles?A．The skills they acquire from acting.B．The great enthusiasm for playing.C．The recreation they gain from acting.D．The needs to widen their social circles.2．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A．Enthusiasm is more important than talent for a professional actor.B．There are huge quantities of professional theaters in rural areas.C．The majority of the drama clubs are in the West End theatre district.D．You are welcome to interact with actors when watching Pantomimes.3．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To introduce Pantomimes to people worldwide.B．To show the rising values of British plays.C．To attract readers to go and see plays in the UK.D．To persuade readers to take on acting roles actively.BIt’s a tempting habit for young people to glance at their smartphones or tablets rather than make eye contacts with someone and make conversations! There is so much to look at: photographs, social media feeds, messages and emails; it’s no wonder they are glued to their screens. But is it good for them?There have been many claims about the damage looking at screens does to our eyesight. Some people fear staring at a small bright box could make us, especially children and young people, short-sighted or give rise to headaches. BBC technology correspondent, Rory Cellan-Jones, says, “There is plenty of anecdotal evidence that no matter how long teenagers are spending looking at screens, they are encountering material that could prove damaging to their mental health.”But a new study indicates time in front of computers and phones might not be as harmfulfor young people as many think. Research by the Oxford Internet Institute examined data from more than 17,000 teenagers in the UK, Ireland and the United States. Their study concluded that most links between life satisfaction and social media use were not worth considering, accounting for less than 1% of a teenager’s well-being. Professor Przybylski, director of the research, said, “99.75% of a person’s life satisfaction has nothing to do with their use of social media.” The research found that family, friends and school life all had a greater impact on well-being.So, does this mean young people can spend longer looking at social media? The Oxford researchers are confident that their study is impressive in its findings and that any connection between screen time and mental health is very small. Dr. Max Davie, officer of health improvement at the Royal College, calls the study a “small first step”, but he said there were other issues to explore, such as screen time’s interference with other important activities like sleep, exercise and time with family or friends. Perhaps for now, deciding what the “right” amount of screen time is has to be down to personal judgment. 4．Where is the text probably from?A．A guidebook. B．A news report.C．An anecdote. D．A health journal.5．What can we learn from the new research?A．There is no link between screen time and mental health.B．Looking at screens long will do damage to our eyesight.C．Social media use has a slight effect on life satisfaction.D．Teenagers can spend longer time looking at social media.6．What’s the author’s attitude towards young people’s long screen time? A．Objective. B．Doubtful.C．Favorable. D．Subjective.CForeseeing a time when a patient's own cells may be harvested, multiplied, and fashioned into a replacement organ, researchers in Boston have successfully transplanted laboratory grown bladders (肾) into six dogs.For a century, physicians have replaced diseased or damaged bladders by removing sections of a person's intestines (肠子）and shaping them into a substitute bladder. While the procedure offers some relief to patients, complications often develop because nature designs intestinal tissue for a purpose-absorbing nutrients-other than holding waste liquid of the body. “You start absorbing stuff that should be removed," says Anthony Atala of the Children's Hospital in Boston.Other physicians have turned to human-made materials to create artificial bladders, but those efforts have also run into problems. Consequently, to build a better bladder, Atala and his colleagues decided to employ the organ's own cells.To turn the cells into an organ, the researchers first form plastic which can break down naturally into bladder-shaped shell. They then coat its outside and inside with layers of cells needed.To test this strategy, Atala's group obtained bladder tissue from dogs and grew it into organs. After removing the dogs' bladders, the investigators implanted(移植）the artificial ones coming from the dogs' own cells. Within a month, the organs began to perform like normal bladders.Within three months, the plastic shells had broken down naturally, and the implanted organs were hard to distinguish from natural ones, Blood vessels(血管） quickly grew into them. Moreover, nerves seem to form proper connections with the new organs, allowing the dogs to regain normal control of their bladders.

And I’m so grateful and just so excited that we’re really taking a look at the upcoming generation and our generation, since the future is in our hands.Time said Rao stood out for creating a global community of young innovators and inspiring them to pursue their goals. Rao insisted that starting out small doesn't matter, as long as you're passionate about it.She told Time contributing editor Angelina Jolie in an interview that her science pursuits started early as a way to improve social conditions. The drinking water crisis in Flint, Michigan, inspired her work to develop a way to detect pollutants and send those results to a mobile phone, she said.“I was like 10 when I told my parents that I wanted to research carbon nanotube (纳米管) sensor technology at the Denver Water quality research lab, and my mum was like, A what?” Rao told Jolie. She said that work is going to be in our generation’s hands pretty soon. “So if no one else is gonna do it, I’m gonna do it.”In a world where science is increasingly questioned or challenged, Rao insisted that its pursuit is an act of kindness, the best way that a younger generation can better the world.“We have science in everything we’re involved in, and I think that’s the biggest thing to put out there, that science is cool, innovating is cool, and anybody can be aninnovator.” Rao said, “Anybody can do science.”4．What did Rao think of the award she received?A．It was a mark of social progress.

Friendships change over time, not just because our children evolve, but because the very nature of friendship evolves with them. The best parents should learn to let go so that their children can succeed in their tween friendships.Early in childhood, our children’s friendships arise out of closeness and habit. We throw our kids into the sandbox with our friends’ kids, and this arrangement works for everyone. As kids get older, however, they begin to build emotional connections with friends based on similarity. Their shared interests, dreams, and goals begin to edge out mere convenience. When they become tweens, friendships become much more complex, and for good reason. Tweens use friendships as a way to try on an identity. They begin to build friendships based on new priorities.All too often, the shifting sands of tween friendship result in broken hearts. Tweens feel abandoned and betrayed as friends move back and forth between comfortable old relationships and exciting new ones. As any parent knows, our own personal heartache hurts, but the secondhand heartbreak we experience through our children is much more painful,mainly because it’s out of our control. The urge to meddle, to save and heal, is powerful, and while meddling around in tween social contact may make us feel better, we must stay out of it.Tweens move from relationship to relationship, adopting this detail of a friend’s personality,abandoning that characteristic of another, until they have collected the essential elements of their identity. Some relationships will survive this process, and some will not, but everyone is an important phase of the journey. We may not love every outfit our tweens try on, but it’s our job to be there when they emerge from the dressing room, when they do a little twirl and wait for us to tell them how grown up they have become. 8．What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?A．Friendship become complex in every period of time.B．Reasons for friendship building vary in different phases.C．Tweens begin to build friendships based on the new priorities.D．Important elements of friendship are needed in children’s life.9．What does the underlined words in paragraph 3 mean?A．Friendships are out of control.B．Tweens feel abandoned and betrayed.C．Friends move to exciting new relationships.D．Friendships change from one to another among tweens.10．What should parents do when tweens feel painful about their social contact? A．They should blame them. B．They should help to bring their children under control.C．They should be there and support them. D．They should meddle around in tween social contact.11．Which is the best title of the passage?A．Change of relationships among tweens B．Parenting in friendships among tweens C．How to build friendships among tweens D．The nature of friendships among tweensDIt is one of the greatest mysteries of nature. In case you haven’t noticed, all livingthings follow very definite, individual rhythms, all as regular as a clock, but what makes them regular?Though many scientists maintain that these rhythms are the result of some outside force like gravity or radiation or both, the results of most scientific researches agree with other scientists who believe that each living thing has its own built-in biological “time clock.”Take the mystery of migration for example. Scientists can’t really explain why many species of birds migrate in the autumn even though the temperature is still summery. The birds just seem to snub the comfortable weather that they are having. When a certain time comes, they travel south by the thousand. In spring time, they migrate northwards when though there probably is snow still covering the ground when they finally arrive. Something said “go”, and they did.Animals that hibernate are obeying individual time clock, too. When their clock indicates the time to take a winter’s nap, they do, and nothing can stop them. At a certain time in the spring, they wake up and come out regardless of the weather outside.Plants appear to have yearly rhythms, such as the sprouting(发芽)of seeds, and they also have daily rhythms. Notice sometimes that plants raise their leaves in daylight and lower them at night.If you live along the California coast, you can easily observe a demonstration of this mysterious clock functioning regularly. There, from February to September, the highest tides occur exactly every fourteen and four-fifths days, and during these high tides, but at no other time, small silvery fish called grunions surf-ride a wave to the beach. There the female deposits her eggs in the sand and the male, fertilize them; then both hitch a wave-ride back to the sea. Exactly fourteen and four-fifths days later, never before or after, the tiny eggs hatch, and the high tide carries the new habits out to sea. 12．According to the passage, the mysterious rhythms result from ________.A．the influence of gravity on living speciesB．the effect of radiation on living speciesC．the influence of a mysterious outer force on living speciesD．the internal mechanism inside the living species13．The underlined word “snub” in the third paragraph probably means ________. A．fight B．ignoreC．symbolize D．criticize14．Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A．Hibernating animals are obeying an internal time clock.B．The positioning of the leaves of some plants is due to the daily rhythms.C．The internal clock functioning is demonstrated in the reproducing habits of grunions. D．The yearly hibernation is more because of the weather influence than the biological functioning.15．The passage is mainly about ________.A．the rhythms of life B．the reasons of mysterious hibermation C．strange behaviors of species D．the timing for different events in the world of species二、七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
