Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案) (12分)New research has found the longest living animal on Earth with a backbone is a shark.The research, published in Science Magazine, found the Greenland shark is the longest living animal with a backbone in the world. The gray-colored sharks live in the cold water of the Arctic and are named after Greenland, the world’s largest island. After examining one of these sharks, scientists decided it was born in the icy water about 400 years ago and died out recently.An international team of biologists and physicists was able to estimate (估计) the ages of 28 dead female Greenland sharks by studying the lenses of their eyes. It is a new way to learn the age of an animal. Eight of the sharks were probably 200 years old or more, and could even have been 300 years old. That would make them older than some whales, which earlier were believed to have been the oldest animals at about 211 years old, according to the Associated Press.This discovery also means that Greenland sharks can live more than three times longer thanhumans. Many people these days can expect to live into their eighties. African elephants average about 70 years. The oldest of the Greenland sharks the scientists studied was nearly 5 meters long. It was thought to have been 392 years old when it was caught four years ago. However, because the testing method is so new, it is not exact.The study’s lead author is Julius Nielsen, a marine biologist from Denmark. He says the 392 number could have an error range of 120 years in either direction. That means the shark was probably born sometime between the years 1500 and 1740, with 1620 being the most likely.“It's an estimate. It's not a determination,” Nielsen said. “It is the best we can do.”Even at the lowest age, the shark would have been 272 years old when it died and still would be the longest-living animal with a backbone, Nielsen said.“I don't know why they get as old, but I hope someone will find out,” Nielsen said.69. According to Science Magazine, the Greenland shark ________.A) is the longest living animal on earth B) rarely lives in the cold water of the ArcticC) is an animal with a backbone D) still lives in the icy water now70. A new way to learn the age of a female animal is _______.A) to estimate it by a biologist B) to examine its skinC) to study the lenses of its eyes D) to discover the place of its birth71. The discovery means if people live into eighties, the shark might live into _______ years old.A) almost 200 B) less than 211C) over 320 D) at least 45072. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A) The oldest of the Greenland sharks was nearly five meters long.B) It can make sure that the oldest Greenland shark was 392 years old.C) Julius Nielsen says the 392 number could have an error range of 120 years.D) Julius Nielsen has tried to estimate the probable time the shark was born.73. The author will probably write about ________ after the last paragraph.A) the discovery of why sharks get so old B) the living habits of the sharksC) the reasons why sharks disappeared D) the bad side of the sharks74. The best title of the passage may probably be “________”.A) A new way to study the sharksB) Caring for the sharksC) Best Animal with a backbone on EarthD) Longest living animal with a backbone on EarthKeys: 69-74 CCC BADVI. Reading comprehension (阅读理解): (共50分)A. Choose the best answer（根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案）（12分）Research suggests that at least 64% of people now spend up to four hours daily of spare time in front of a screen. Just as TV watching has been linked to higher chances of being fat and getting diseases, this extra sedentary time is bad news for our health.1. Choose outdoor activities over technologyWhen you’re at home, make it a rule that you can’t be online if the sun is shining. Instead, you have to go for a walk, ride a bike, swim or get some other kind of healthy physical activity for at least an hour before you can pull out your phone or tablet, or take a seat at the computer. This rule should be fit for everyone in your family.2. Limit social media useSocial networks have changed computer and mobile use for people of all ages. Whether it’s Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Snapchat, limit the amount of time you spend on social media. Avoid aimless browsing (浏览) and give your time online a purpose: research holidays or catch up on the news of the day. Then log off.3. Save time for readingChallenge yourself to read at least 30 pages of a great book before you check your computer or mobile phone. Pick the right reading material and you’ll soon find you’ve discovered an enjoyable pastime.4.

It’s often possible for visitors to meet famous authors unexpectedly in the comfortable place.Paradise Time Travel BookstoreTibet(西藏) is a must-visit on many people’s travel lists. You can find the beauty of the ancient Tibetan style. Paradise Time Travel Bookstore is decorated in this way. But if you look closely, you will find it is a foreign language bookshop.

At an early age, she showed great interest in swimming and she once won the first prize in a high school swimming competition. Like many young swimmers, she had Olympic dreams, but a serious illness kept her from taking part in the Games. The disappointment didn’t stop her from going forward. Instead, she became interested in marathon swimming. With her good health, she did well in spending a long time in the water. As a long-distance swimmer, she would compete against herself and overcome the difficulties she met during the period, such as danger, cold and so on.Efforts paid off. In 1970, she swam in a ten-mile marathon and set the women’s record for the course. In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida. Then she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Island in 1975.Although she didn’t swim for a long time, she told the world her confidence and strong desire to succeed. When Diana ended her career as a swimmer, she still kept working---travelling around the world as a reporter, writing books and giving public speechesabout her life. Diana is working to encourage others, just as she did when she swam the waters of the world.T F F T FTD. Listen to the passage and complete the following sentences. (听短文，完成下列内容。

With drawings and simple words, the step-by-step guide e 81 how to send messages, take pictures and make video calls. Zhang made the guide for his parents. “My parents are getting old. They need an easy way to learn how to use technology,” he said.Zhang’s experience is c82 nowadays. Worldwide, 40 percent of parents learn about new technologies, including computers, mobile Internet and social media, fromtheir children, according to a study from the International Communication Association in 2017.Parents u 83 to teach their kids about almost everything. Now for the first time, the teachers become the students, and the students turn into the teachers.The c 84 of the roles comes from the rapid development of society and technology, says Zhou Xiaohong, a sociology professor from Nanjing University. Zhou said the Internet and otherforms of media give children ways to get information b 85 from asking older generations. Therefore, in the age of information, it’s possible that children know more than their parents do.According to the China Internet Network Information Center, 56.7 percent of Internet users and67.2 percent of social media users in China are under the age of 30. The younger generationu 86 acts as a link between their family and the new environment. But when they teach theirparents new technologies, parents can connect to the new world by themselves, noted Zhou.In Zhang Ming’s eyes, teaching his parents about WeChat brings him c87 to his parents. “People can communicate more by using new technology.

A 82 graduation, students come to realize whatthey have learned at school has not really prepared them for the next step.Increasingly, teachers are getting to know the idea of “learning from our failures.” If you’v failed at anything, you’ve certainly never t83 anything new.

He mademistakes but he cheered himself up and moved forward. His success didn’t come from grades, itcame from his character: courage, effort and confidence.We should develop social skills through the whole school as an important p 87 of learning.This is why there is a focus on performance, sport and other activities.

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

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

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

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

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)A Cloud of Hope and DangerA small cloud floats through the air in a hospital operatingroom. In the room a patient, suffering from cancer, lies on a table.The cloud surrounds(包围) the patient, covering her body andfilling her lungs(肺). The cloud is not smoke or steam. It is made ofmillions of microscopic robots called nanorobots(纳米机器人). These tiny robots move from cell(细胞) to cell in the patient’s body, destroying the cancer.Fighting cancer with nanorobots is only an idea today, but scientists say that it could be possible in the future. Using nanorobots for good purposes such as fighting disease or repairing the environment may be the solution to many of today’s problems.However, nanorobots could be a dangerous risk as well. Since nanorobots are so tiny, they will have to work in large teams of many thousands to many millions. For this reason, nanorobots will have to be programmed to build themselves. Scientists will not have the ability to build millions of nanorobots one by one.This ability to reproduce is making some scientists worried. What if something goes wrong in the programming? Quite a lot of crazy nanorobots would be far worse than any disease. Some people think that if they get out of control, nanorobots could destroy the Earth.What should be done? Should we continue researching nanorobots or should we search for other methods? This is one of the many difficult decisions that we have to make in the future.88. What is the cloud in the passage, smoke and steam or microscopic robots?____________________________________________________________________________.89. What can be the good use of nanorobots for us?____________________________________________________________________________.90.

Why does God let people live so long past their prime(鼎盛时期)?”As I thought, another aged lady entered the shop and sat down with her. Soon the two of them were talking about childhood days. They talked of how little the shop had changed in 70 years… In minutes the two of them were trembling (颤抖) with laughter.I looked again at the first woman, then in the mirror on a nearby wall, catching a picture of myself.I was wearing a dirty shirt.She was well dressed in white, gold rings on her fingers.I was in low spirits. She was laughing, smiling.I was putting the pieces of my life together. She had millions of wonderful memories to recall.She was old but it wasn’t hurting her.As I left the shop, I thought of my foolish questions about God letting People past their prime. Why, that woman was more alive, more sensitive than I was. Age has not bent her spirit (精神).88.
