Chapter 4．D. Chapter 5．25.Below is a diagram （图表）from the book．Between which pages can you find it？______A. Pages 46-58B. Pages 32-46．C. Pages 17-32D. Pages 71-8626.Which of these may be the best title of the book？______A. The History of Shanghai．B. The Geography of Shanghai．C. Social Studies for Shanghai．D. Something about Old ShanghaiBAccording to a recent report，kids in primary school spend about six hours every week doing their homework．So kids hate homework．However，their parents hate homework，too．Is it good for kids to do homework？Of course，a great number of researches do show that kids can remember what they have learnt in class better by finishing their homework on time and homework itself plays an important role in developing their learning skills，such as independent thinking and creativity．But for parents，the result is not the same．After a day of hard work，most of them feel like they're going through school a second time when they sit down with their children each night to help with their homework．And a recent survey found that 46 percent of parents feel like they don't spend enough quality time with their children，because they spend too much time doing the housework or helping with homework．And another 29 percent of parents have arguments with their kids often when they have different answers to the same question．Now several education scientists strongly advise parents to stop helping．They say it will give their kids more independence and give parents back their free time．At the same time，the number of homework-connected arguments will be less at home．Katy Smith，an education scientist，says，"You don't have to know everything．Children need to put their hands up for help and so do parents．Use your resources-online teachers，or even your neighborhood-just ask．"27.What do we know from the researches mentioned in Paragraph 2？______A. Homework improves learning skills．B. Both parents and kids hate homework．C. Kids love doing homework by themselves．D. Parents enjoy sitting down helping their kids．28.Most parents feel ______ when they are helping their kids with their homework．A. they are at work againB. they are school students againC. they are teachers of their kidsD. they are not as good as their kids29.Why do some parents argue with their kids？______A. Their kids don't finish homework on time．B. Their kids don't like to do their homework．C. Their kids don't work out the correct answers．D. Their kids don't agree with them on the answers．CYou are walking alone down the street．Suddenly，you hear footsteps．Is someone following you？How do you know the footsteps are someone else's and not your own？You can tell because your brain（大脑）has the ability to ignore（忽略）certain sounds，according to a study from New York University in the US．Because of this，we often ignore our own footsteps．But we may easily hear others' footsteps．Scientists tested this on mice．They found that when mice became familiar with the sound of their own footsteps，they developed a "sensory filter（感觉过滤器）"．This allowed the miceto ignore the sounds of their own footsteps．They could more easily notice the sounds of their environment．"For mice，this is really important because they need to listen for a cat getting close to them，even when they are walking and making noise．" Said David Schneider，one of the lead authors of the study．Our minds don't just ignore our footsteps．We also ignore some other sounds that we make ourselves，including the sound of eating，breathing heavily and typing on a keyboard．Being able to ignore these unimportant noises lets us focus on（集中精神）more important and dangerous ones．For example，we are quick to notice the sound of a baby crying．So we can rush to make sure they are okay and keep them alive．The same idea applies to human screaming．When we hear this sound，we can quickly go to help the screaming person．30.What helps the mice ignore the sounds of their own footsteps？______A. The environmentB. Cats' footstepsC. ScientistsD. Their sensory filters31.Can you guess the meaning of the underlined word "screaming"？______A. talking loudlyB. laughing happilyC. shouting in fearD. running quickly32.Which of the following sounds would most probably be ignored by our brain？______A. Others' footstepsB. Self-made soundsC. A baby cryingD. Screaming33.Which of the following are NOT true according to the passage？______A. Ignoring certain sounds helps mice stay alive．B. Screaming and baby crying are unimportant noises．C. Both humans and mice have the ability to ignore certain sounds．D. To our brain，others' footsteps are easier to hear than our own footsteps．四、任务型阅读-完成表格（本大题共1小题，共5.0分）34.What do we really mean by being open？Being open is a kind of invitation to others tocome in，to speak and to share．It is important in letting others get to know how we think and feel．In this way we will be understood and accepted by others．If we aren't open with others，we won't fully believe in ourselves or others．Here are a few ways for you to be more open．First，make your outside behavior the same with your inside feelings and thoughts．Second，share how you really feel about something instead of just opinions．Third，try to change your questions into statements and talk in the first person so that people will understand you more easily．For example，you might say，"I feel happy that you're here．" instead of，"Are you glad that you're here？" Finally，try not to say，"I don't know．" This usually means I don't want to think about it any more．Remember also that it is not suitable to be open with everyone in every situation．You may want to be more open with close friends，but not with people you don't know well，because you are not sure how someone else will use what they know about you．Besides，some people may not be used to too much openness．If we say everything we feel or think to them，they will feel very uncomfortable at times．In all，being open is a good way for us to get on well with other people，but we'd better______ others to come in，to speak and to share．Show others how we think and feel．Let others understand and accept us．Believe in ourselves and others by being open．______ to be more open Make sure your outside behavior is the same with your inside feelings and thoughts．Try to share your real feelings．Make statements instead of（3）______ and use the first person．Try not to say，"I don't know．" Reasons for not being too open Someone may use your（4）______ to hurt you．You will make them feel very uncomfortable sometimes．Conclusion：It will make us get on well with（5）______ if we keep the balance between being open and not being too open．五、单词拼写-单句（本大题共4小题，共4.0分）35.All the students______（欢呼）for the team because they won the match．36.Yesterday I bought an______（橡皮）for my daughter．37.Remember to read these______（说明）before you do the DIY job．38.Please hand in your______（完成的）homework， boys．六、单句语法填空（本大题共4小题，共4.0分）39.It's______ （possible） for us to

The cool nights invite blankets and comfortable clothing, making every moment feel warm and inviting. Lastly, autumn brings a sense of reflection and renewal. As the year draws to a close, it prompts me to reflect on my achievements and set new goals for the upcoming months. It’s a season of balance, where nature’s c ycle of life and death reminds us of the impermanence of all things.In conclusion, autumn encapsulates all that is beautiful, peaceful, and full of promise. It is a season I eagerly await each year, filled with wonder, joy, and a deep sense of connection to the world around me.。

Traditional artists always did their artwork in a studio and their paintings looked exactly like the real world. Claude Monet was part of a group of painters who were called Impressionists (印象派画家). Their paintings gave an impression of what the real world looked like.Knowing that trains were interesting subjects and stood for modern progress (进步), Claude Monet painted a series of Impressionist paintings of trains from January to March of 1877.Monet’s friend, Pierre Auguste Renoir, told the following story to his sons about Claude Monet and painting the trains. Monet needed permission (允许) to stay on the train platform and paint what he saw in his impressionistic style. One day Monet dressed himself in his very best clothes. It seemed that he was a rich gentleman but in fact he really was a poor painter.He showed the clerk (职员) at the train office his calling card which introduced him as Claude Monet, Painter. He asked to see the station master. The clerk quickly allowed this fine gentleman to enter the station master’s office. The station master gave Monet permission to paint on the train platform. He even stopped trains from leaving on time so Monet could complete a scene even though passengers complained.Was it all worthwhile (值得)? Monet’s train scenes turned his career into a success and for the station master, made his train station famous until even now.Claude Monet76. same 77. how 78. interest 79. win/get 80. later惠山区石塘湾中学Let me give you some useful ways to study.
