But there are hundreds of microorganisms in the mouths and your toothbrush probably won’t make you sick unless there is an unhealthy balance of bacteria. Our immune system can usually take care of bacterial invaders. However, if others u se your toothbrush, or you use someone else’s, bacteria can be spread.They have also found the toothbrush holders are the third-most dirty household items , thus advocating cleaning the toothbrush holder regularly.The storage of your toothbrush in your bathroom is also important. Here are some storage tips from the researchers to keep your toothbrush as healthy as possible:Put your toothbrush as far away as possible from the toilet flushing.Let your toothbrush dry thoroughly between brushings.Don’t use toothbrush covers, which can create a perfect breeding ground for bacteria.Keep your toothbrush upright in a holder rather than lying down.Keep toothbrushes separate. If toothbrushes touch, they can exchange and spread bacteria.There are products available that claim to sanitize(消毒)your toothbrush. While some of these products do kill some bacteria, there is no evidence that using them will reduce your risk of illness, according to the researchers.They recommend replacing your toothbrush every three to four months or more often if you are sick or if you have a weakened immune system. Children’s toothbrushes may need to be replaced more often than adult brushes.(1)Who will probably find this text helpful?A . People concerning their heathB . People decorating their houseC . People caring about their dietsD . People carrying out experiments (2)What can we infer from the text?A . Products of sanitizing the tooth brush are of no use at all.B . Adults need to replace toothbrushes more often than children.C . Sharing your toothbrush with others may be harmful to your health.D . Your toothbrush will probably make you sick if there is a healthy balance of bacteria.(3)What are people advised to do in the text?A . Clean the toothbrush holder regularly.B . Keep the toothbrush covered after the use.C . Keep the toothbrush lying down after using it.D . Have the toothbrush dry partly between brushings.(4)Which might be the best title for the text?A . How to Replace Your Toothbrush Economically?B . How to Clean Your Toothbrush Correctly?C . How to Store Your Toothbrush Healthily?D . How to Use Your Toothbrush Properly?3. 阅读理解On a cold morning in 2015, five-year-old Lucas stood on the bank of Blue Star River, hugging a dead salmon(鲑鱼)against his thick yellow coat. He looked up at his father, Steve, who nodded encouragingly. “Go ahead,” he said. “Put it in.” The young boy dragged his feet forward and held the fish as far as he could into the shallow water. “It’s floating!” Lucas yelled, delighted. For a mom ent, it’s almost as if the handsome salmon could come back to life.Lucas’ salmon was just one of 100 or so dead bodies that will land in Blue Star River in a half-hour activity this morning, delivered by dozens of volunteers. None of the salmon will rise from the dead, but Andy, president of the Fish Rescue Society, who has promoted this gathering, is carrying out the resurrection (复活)project of salmon.Andy led the group’s campaign to recover this urban waterway’s salmon population. “The Fish Rescue Society started exploring the possibility of recovering the salmon in the river in the mid-1990s, and they also focused on river recovery in cities worldwide.”Andy and his group are devoted to giving the river a full make-over. This monumental repair job, supported by approximately $95,000 of funding from the Pacific Salmon Foundation over the past 15 years, has involved recovering the river-habitat of salmon and preventing it from wearing away. Work on theriver’s final section was completed in October 2016.(1)What can we learn about the salmon from Paragraph 1?A . It was dying.B . It was saved.C . It was injured.D .

She tripped upon men’s clothing “hidden” around her house.The 38-year-old woman says, at the beginning, she was confused to see quite a few photographs in her phone that she did not remember taking. She was the subject but something was different. Her friends started falling away and she did not know why. Her long-term relationship with her boyfriend also ended suddenly.Now she knows those men’s clothing belonged to one of her “alternatives” and the same person was responsible for her closest friends’ leaving her.In an intervie w, Emily said she was not allowed to name “the man” who takes over her body. She was not allowed to name any of her six alternative persons. She said, “I am aware that they are not real people, not physical people. They exist in an imaginative world. However, all those alternatives should be treated with dignity and respect.”Emily has what’s call ed Dissociative Identity Disorder(DID分离性身份识别障碍), a condition characterized by the presence of two or more split personalities that have power over a person’s behaviour.Her condition resulted from a car accident five years ago. It was August, 2012, when her vehicle broke down on the side of the road. A speeding driver crashed into her car. She wasn’t physically injured but she suffered a mental condition caused by severe brain injury. Shortly after that, she discovered she wasn’t alone inside her head. Swi tching between personalities happens frequently but there is no real pattern. It can be weeks between incidents then, for whatever reason, it happens more regularly.One of her alternatives is a smoker, even though she is not. Upon waking, she says there are messages in her head that she is a smoker. She describes her lifestyle as “isolated”.“People consider DID as tragedy” she says, “I just want to make an effort to tell others that we deserve respect, that we are legally accepted members of society, an d we hope to live a normal life. I’m not stupid, I’m not spiting or running around people with knives. I have a mental problem but try to live a normal life. I completed a course at Harvard, I wrote a book, I’mable to communicate well. I mother my two kid s well. I’m not on welfare.”Actually, she volunteers for an organization helping children. She also spends time speaking out about her condition and has written a book on the subject, hoping to help others who are experiencing the same trouble.(1)Why di d Emily’s boyfriend break up with her?A . Because all his friends didn’t like her.B . Because she remained a heavy smoker.C . Because she had changeable characters inside her.D . Because she was physically disabled in a car accident.(2)What does Emily think of her personalities inside her?A . They also deserve respect.B . They are gifts given by God.C . They are too strong to resist.D . They make her life interesting.(3)What can we know about Emily from the passage?A . Her mental illness prevented her from attending Harvard.B . She can control her regularly changing personalities.C . Her physical injury from a car accident caused DID.D . She tries to live a positive life and help others.(4)What’s the main idea of the text?A . It intended to explain what a DID is all about in detail.B . It introduced a woman suffering DID after a car accident.C . It reported a car accident and its severe consequence.D .

Seven years ago,back in 2010,some reports covered a story that the world's longest railway tunnel was under construction in Switzerland.At that point it had already been under construction for over a decade.It had been voted to be built nearly a quarter of a century ago!The idea to build it could date back to nearly 70 years ago—about as old as some of your grandparents!Yesterday,it was finally ready!It's 35 miles long and runs 7,500 feet beneath the Swiss Alps,a famous mountain range in Switzerland.It even runs under an old tunnel that was there before.It took a total of 17 years to build at a cost of $12 billion.128 million tons of rock were dug.Two million truckloads of earth were removed!The tunnel connects northern and southern Europe.The opening of this runnel was such a big deal that the Germany's leader,Chancellor AngelaMerkel,France's president,Francois Hollande,and Italy's prime minister,Matteo Renzi,were an there to celebrate,as was Austria's chancellor Christian Kern.It's called the Gotthard Base Tunnel.Eventually,325 freight and passenger trains will go through the tunnel,relieving a lot of traffic on the roadways there and making it a more environmentally friendly option.The Gotthard Base Tunnel is a wonder of engineering!Make us want to visit it!1.

It used to be an old tunnel.B. It has just been completed.C. It connects all European countries.D. It runs over a range of mountains.3. What may be the purpose of building the Tunnel?A.

Many editors have a rule that they will not even read stories that are not formatted and presented as requested in their Submission(投稿)Guidelines.Even if this policy is not stated,it affects their decision-making.There are a few reasonable reasons.A good editor likes to read all stories for the first time in the same format (格式)as the publication standard.A consistent format between manuscripts (手稿)removes distractions like unusual presentation and puts each manuscript on the same starting level,with the focus on content.Leading publications get thousands of submissions a year.Editor time is extremely valuable.Most editors enjoy finding gems among the manuscripts,but they really dislike reformatting(don't you prefer eating an elegant meal to washing dishes?).When an editor sees he will have to spend an extra half hour of precious time in reformatting,he subconsciously marks that submission down compared to other submissions of equal quality.Publications need to have consistency in formatting for all their published stories: letterform,type size,spacing, paragraph structure etc.This keeps the reader’s focus on the words and not their structu re.Since editors don't have a choice to just accept a weirdly(古怪的)formatted story as it is,they are forced to either reformat or decline the submission.Publications use different software and other tools in theiroperations.Editors know what makes their system go smoothly.Many invisible software formatting structures between types of documents create disasters.Editors are not pedantic(迂腐的).Their job is to find great material and expose those works to appreciative readers.Differently formatted manuscripts steal time away from that responsibility,which is bad for everyone.Editors love nothing more than finishing a read and thinking “Wow.A great story-AND it's cut and paste!"1. What does the underlined word "gems" refer to in the third paragraph?A. Precious Jewels.B. Creative formats.C. Great stories.D. Amazing characters.2. What kind of manuscript is most likely to be refused?A. One with no special structures.B. One with a general letterform.C. One with attractive plots.D. One with a weird format.3. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How the editors usually work.B. Why publications need consistent format.C. Why the manuscript's format can influence the editor's decision.D. The ways on how to format manuscripts.4. Drive through any suburb in the U.S. today,and it's hard to miss the bins that have become companions to America's trash cans.Recycling has become commonplace,as people recognize the need to care for the environment. Yet most people's recycling consciousness extends only as far as paper,bottles,and cans.People seldom find themselves facing the growing problem of e-waste.E-waste rapidly increases as the techno-fashionable frequently upgrade to the most advanced devices,and the majority of them end up in landfills(垃圾填埋地).Some people who track such waste say that users throw away nearly 2 million tons of TVs,VCRs,computers,cell phones,and other electronics every year.Unless we can find a safe replacement,this e-waste may get into the ground and poison the water with dangerous toxins(毒素),such as lead, mercury,and arsenic.Burning the waste also dangerously contaminates the air. However,e-waste often contains reusable silver.gold.and other electrical materials.Recycling these materials reduces environmental problems by reducing both landfill waste and the need to look for such metals,which can destroy ecosystems.A growing number of states have adopted laws to ban dumping e-waste.Still,less than a quarter of this refuse will reach lawful recycling programs.Some companies advertising safe disposal(处置)in fact merely ship the waste to some developing countries,where it still ends up inlandfills.These organizations prevent progress by unsafely disposing of waste in an out-of-sight,out-of-mind location.However,the small but growing number of cities and corporations that do handle e-waste responsibly represents progress toward making the world a cleaner,better place for us all.1. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. Most Americans have realized the dangers of e-waste.B. E-waste cannot be put into trash cans in the U.S.C. Many Americans now have access to recycling bins.D. Most of America's trash cans are made of recycled material.2. What can best replace the underlined word "contaminates" in Paragraph 2?A. Pollutes.B. Heats.C. Absorbs.D. Reduces.3. How does the author feel about burying e-waste m landfills?A. It's important.B. It's unsafe.C. It's acceptable.D. It's uncommon.4. What's the author's purpose in writing this text?A. To tell us how to recycle e-waste.B. To talk about the future of e-waste.C. To discuss if it's necessary to recycle e-waste.D. To encourage us to deal with e-waste properly.二、七选五5. Ways to Worry LessDo you want to worry less? Of course you do,fight? That's like me asking if I could send you free bacon.Worry is like black mold—it appears in damp conditions and spreads uncontrollably.And often times we don't realize it's there until it's killing us.We must get rid of worry before it destroys us.But how? 1.Do what you need to do.2. You ought not to avoid tough projects or hard conversions until the last moment.If you don't do what you should be doing,you will end up spending the rest of the time worried about the must-to-do things.Believe it or not, the anxiety that comes from worrying is much worse than the task we're worriedabout.3.I think many of us act like we're puppets(木偶)in a play and we're waiting for something or someone to put us in the right place.You just react to whatever is going on. 4.

The surgeon was asked to go there at once to operate on a very sick boy who shot himself while playing with a gun.The doctor was soon on his way to Clens Falls. It was 60 miles away. And it was snowing heavily in the city. The surgeon thought he could get there before12 o’clock.A few minutes later, the doctor was stopped by a man in an old black coat. Gun in hand, the man ordered the doctor to get out. Then the man drove the car down the road, leaving the doctor in the falling snow.It was after 2 o’clock in the morning when the doctor arrived at the hospital in Clens Falls. Dr. Haydon told him that the boy had died an hour before. The two doctors walked by the door of the hospital waiting room. There sat the man in the old black coat with his head in his hands“Mr. Cuninghan,”said Dr. Haydon to the man, “This is Dr. Eyck.

Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed.The most famous migration is probably the migration of the fish, which is called “salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many mil es to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster. Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobster get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go.So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we don’t. Maybe l iving things just like travel.(1)Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to _____.A . give birthB . enjoy warmer weatherC . find food more easilyD . find beautiful places(2)The mice in northern Europe move when _____.A . they need fresh waterB . the weather is badC . the place gets too crowdedD . they haven’t enough food(3)This passage is mainly about _____.A . why animals move from one place to anotherB . how animals can find food easilyC . new discoveries of animals travelingD . some problems withtraveling3. 阅读理解It was a warm April day when a big fat envelope came in the mail from the only college I had ever imagined attending. I tore open the packet. My eyes were fixed on the word “congratulations”. I don’t remember ever smiling so wide.Then I looked at my financial package.The cost of Dream School’s tuition, room and board was around $40,000 ? An impossible sum! How could I afford to attend? What good reasons did I have to go there when three other fine colleges were offering me free tuition? My othe r choices were good, solid schools even if they weren’t as famous as my first choice.In my mind, attending my dream university would be the only way to realize my dream of becoming a world-class writer. My parents understood how I felt. They told me that even though it would be a financial problem, I could go wherever I would be happiest. But as I was always careful with money, I wasn’t sure what to do.One of the schools that offered me a full ride had an informational dinner one night in the spring. Co nsidering my parents’ financial difficulties, I decided to drive the 45 minutes and attend. At first, all I had planned to do was smile politely, eat free food, listen quietly. But I surprised myself.At dinner the president of the university talked about the wonderful activities on campus including guest lectures and social gatherings. He alsomade it perfectly clear that free food would be offered at all future events. He continued with explanations of professors, class sizes, activities, and sporting events on campus. As he spoke, I began to realize that this school, though not as good as my first choice, might be the best one for me. It seemed small yet with many great programs. It seemed challenging yet caring.As the president ended his speech, we clapped politely and pushed back our chairs. As I walked out of that door, a feeling of comfort washed over me. Looking at the campus that night, I realized that I would be spending the next four years right there.In all honesty, my university is not as well-known as my “dream” university. However, it turned out to be the right choice of schools for me.(1)How did the author feel when he started to read the letter?A . He was full of joy.B . He was lost in his dream.C . He was worried about the money.D . He was uncertain which school to go to.(2)We can learn from the passage that the parents were ______.A . honestB . strictC . supportiveD . decisive(3)In Paragraph 5, “offered me a full ride” can be replaced by “______”.A . would pay for transport to the schoolB . would show me around the campusC . would offer free meals at all eventsD . would charge me nothing for tuition(4)What does the author mainly want to say?A . Your second-choice college may actually be your best fit.B . You shouldconsider comfort in your choice of schools.C . You should try your best to attend your dream school.D . Your choice of schools should be based on their fame.4. 阅读理解In general, people talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors.The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, those who like to be with others, like red. The cool colors are green, blue and violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color, such as red or orange is a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are talking or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly.Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool. However, almost everyone agrees that red, orange, and yellow are warm and that green, blue, and violet are cool. Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days.Because in the north the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.(1)Which of the following colors belong to cool colors?A . Yellow, green.B . Blue, violet.C . Black, blue.D . Brown, white.(2)Which of the following statements is not true?A . Sociable people like warm colors.B . Warm colors can make people excited.C . People who like to be with others don’t like red.D . Where there are warm colors, people want to be active.(3)Which is the right color for different rooms?A . Red or orange for offices.B . Orange for dining-rooms.C . Blue for bedrooms.D . Red for studies.(4)What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A . It shows the reason why people think some colors are warm and others are cool.B . Warm colors remind people of warm days.C . Cool colors remind people of cool days.D . People have an agreeable opinion of warm colors and cool colors.二、任务型阅读5. 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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

★AChina has announced it's abolishing its one-child policy. What difference has itmade, statistically speaking?400 million births preventedThe one-child policy, officially in place since 1979, has prevented 400 millionbirths. Parents have faced fines and other punishments for having more children.The majority of the decrease in China's fertility(生育)rate happened in the 1970s.It dropped from 5.8 children per woman in 1970 t0 2.7 in 1978. Despite the one-childpolicy the rate had only fallen t0 1.7 by 2013.21:28 baby death rateSince the one-child policy was introduced, baby girls have become more likely todie than boys.In the 1970s, according to the United Nations, 60 males per l,000 live births diedunder the age of one. For girls the figure was 53. In the 1980s, after the one-childpolicy became official, the rate for both was 36. By the 1990s, 26 males per l,000 livebirths died before the age of one-and 33 girls. The 2000s saw 21 boys per l,000 livebirths dying and 28 girls.1.16 boys born for every girlSexually selective abortions have been considered as a major cause of China'sunusual sexual imbalance.Gietel-Basten, associate professor in social policy at Oxford University, says thebirths of many girls are not registered if parents have broken the rule by having two children, adding officials often turn a blind eye. It's estimated there are now 33 millionmore men than women in China.4:2:1 familiesWith the ageing of China's population and the continuation of the one-child policy,a “4: 2 : 1”home is the description given to households in which there are four grandparents cared for by two working age parents, who themselves have one child.By 2050, it's predicted that a quarter of China's population will be 65 or older. The predicted decline in the number of people of working age is thought to have persuadedthe government to drop the one-child policy.21. When was the baby death rate for both boys and girls equal?A. In the 1970s.B. In the 1980s.C. In the 1990s.D. In the 2000s.22. What makes the one-child policy abolished according to the passage?A. The decline of birth rate.B. The rise of baby death rate.C. The change of family structure.D. The decline of working age people.23. The passage sums up the one-child policy by .A. numberB. exampleC. contrastD. analysisBlt's a little hard to figure out the rules for sure, but the baby African buffalo( 7K午) seems to have the upper hand. The two stand a couple feet apart, staring at each other.Behind them, their mothers look on with the kind of indifference(不关心) of mothers everywhere who see their kids playing a harmless game.The alarm went off about half an hour ago, the second time tonight. Here, onebell means “elephant”, two, “rhino”(犀牛), and three and four, 1 really can't remember for what, because when you're awoken by bells in the middle of the night,your first thought won't be “Animal! ”. But as soon as I realized it was the rhino alarm,I was running for the stairs.Yet I'm the only one watching the animals stare-down. Either everyone else diedof a heart attack when the bells went off, or l was the only one in the entire hotel whodidn't turn the alarm switch to off before going to bed.The Ark, a hotel shaped like the biblical ark(圣经的方舟) , lies in the highlands of Kenya's Aberdare National Park, about 100 kilometers north of Nairobi. At the Ark'sprow(船首) are huge windows overlooking a waterhole. Earlier tonight, I'd watched apack of wolves, buffalos and elephants. And now, at three or so in the morning, I'mdown for rhino bells. The first time, 2. 5 hours ago, it was a single black rhino, whichcame down, got a drink, and left.I'd have been sorry for the lost sleep. I've already arranged with a guide to take me out at sunrise for the so-called “should_never_miss” bird-watching, where we'll get tosee 30 species, but really, how many times in your life will you get to wake up and say, “Wow! Rhino!”? Isn't that the definit ion of a pretty good night? Last week we wentfrom Uganda into Kenya. Before I left home, 1 thought I'd be happy with ten elephants and five or six giraffes on the whole trip. I didn't dare to dream the rhino.24. The message that the hotel's bells sent was .A. a very wise way the author had never heard ofB. hard for the author to remember in detailC. a matter that all visitors had got used toD. like conditioned response training for animals25. What's the author's attitude toward the bell?A. It's bothering but two bells are welcome.B. It should be turned off whenever it rings.C. It lets visitors have a chance to see buffalos.D. It is a very bad way to wake the guests up.26. What can we learn from the passage?A. The author hates all the animals.B. There are lots of wild animals near the Ark.C. The author slept well during the whole trip.D. The author has no interest in thinos.27. What did the author see at about 3:00 a.m. ?A. Two buffalos were fighting fiercely for food.B. A rhino and a buffalo were fighting for water.C. A rhino and a buffalo were staring at each other.D. A buffalo was teaching its baby to walk freely.*CMany people trying to sell homes find that an increase in home prices has turnedthe market in their favor. But sellers can still get the short end of the deal if they aren't careful. Here are a few tips for you:Don't test your luck. Of course you think anyone who moves into your lovely home should be willing to pay top dollars, especially if you've recently invested in some improvements. But listing a home at a price that's too high above the market price couldturn away some buyers.Buyers noticing that the home still hasn't sold may begin to assume there's something wrong with the house and use that as a reasonable excuse for offering a lower price. And if a home hasn't received any offers after two weeks, it might be time toreset the price.A price that's too low can bring about an undesired outcome. Listing your home at or slightly below the market price can have the effect of drawing in a large group of buyers and increase the chances that a home will receive multiple offers. But setting the price too low comes with several risks. One possibility is that buyers will get skeptical of the home that is listed for $ 15,000 to $ 20,000 less than similar homes in the area, especially if it's not properly marketed. Once again, people might assume there is something wrong with the home and may not bother to look at it.Spy on the competition. Going to other people's open houses can give you a better sense of how your home compares to others on the market. Check out the decoration in their kitchens, the size of their backyards and use the information to figure out where your home should fit in the range of the price. But don't set your pricing just on whatyou see elsewhere.28. What does the underlined part in Paragraph l probably mean?A. Be at a disadvantage.B. Get the upper hand.C. Have control over the situation.D. Be unable to fit in.29. What should home sellers do according to the passage?A. Price your house on the basis of its geographic location.B.

Most people may prefer rock and roll, pop or jazz. These types are most publicized by television and the radio. Country music now would seem to mistakenly belong to the category of rock or pop. Publicity of this category started to drop only after the year 2000; however, it did have its peak yearsjust before falling down.What people may not know is that this type of music inspired(促成) rock and roll especially with one of the most important figures in music history-Elvis Presley-whois known as the 6/King of Rock and Roll". Elvis used to be very famous at a radio program which broadcast country music back in the late 1940- s. Country music isinfluenced by jazz and blues. Rock music is also influenced by jazz and blues so thatthey may even seem similar.Nowadays, country music is closely related to pop music due to artists' preference and popular demand. Starting from the 1980's it slowly divided itself into New and Old Country Music. Legends like Johnny Cash began to slip away because the new understanding of country music actually contains pop and his music just doesn't fit the category. Fortunately, country music is still heavily promoted through websites and reviews.Certain types of music nowadays are linked with different age groups. Classical for the people in the mid 19th century, pop in the 1920's, and then there's country music.All these types continue to grow and modernize while still appealing to certain age groups. More modern country music compositions tend to become different in their own ways which makes it even harder to identify them as country music while they, again, remain appealing only to certain age groups. Active promoters of country music videos, however, seem to appeal to a large number of age groups especially those active in Australia, for as long as country music isn't mixed with other types, it will eventually regain its charm as music for all ages.32.
