I could not find a satisfying job。

To my shame，I had to drive a school bus to make ends meet a nd lived in a friend’s house.One afternoon, while driving through a quiet suburban （郊外的) neighborhood I was so sad that I kept asking myself “Why has my life become so hard？" “What’s wrong with the world？” Then I pulled over the bus to drop off a little girl and as she passed she handed me a pretty earring, saying she found it on the floor of the bus and I should keep it in case the owner came to look for it.In the evening，the owner did come to look for her earring。

When I handed it to her，she got very excited and continued saying “Thanks，you're a real gentleman。

” I told her that she should thank the little girl who had found it。

2020-2021学年江西樟树中学、高安二中高二下期末联考英语卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择Time never had any importance to me until I received a watch from my father that organized my life and made me more responsible.I received this gift on a gray-sky day. I had to go to the airport at 9:00 a.m. to pick up my uncle Ali and take him to my father’s house. However, I was late because I was hanging out with my friends. Later that day, around 11:00 a.m., I remembered my uncle, but I was very late. H e had already left the airport and taken a taxi to my father’s house.I got to my father’s house at 2:00 p.m. on the same day and looked at my angry father’s face.I felt ashamed. After I said hi to my angry father and tired uncle, my father asked me to sit next to him and handed me this watch as a gift. Then he asked, “Eric, did you have fun with your friends today?” I answered, “Yes, father, and I am sorry about not picking up my uncle.” He said, “What you did was not very nice and you should be sorry for your actions.” I was ashamed. “Father, I’ll never do it again. I promise.” Then he replied, “I hope today you learned something important, and this watch will be a reminder for you.” He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my life.I learned a very important lesson from my father that day: to respect time and never be late to meet someone. This watch is important to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson that I learned from it.1．What do we know about Eric’s watch?A．It was quite expensive.B．It was made especially for Eric.C．It was a prize for his good behavior.D．It helped to organize his life.2．From the passage, we know ________.A．Eric was with his friends until 2:00 p.m. that dayB．Uncle Ali had been to Eric’s father’s house beforeC．Eric didn’t live with his fatherD．Eric always forgot important things3．What would be the best title for the passage?A．A Special Watch B．Time Is ImportantC．How to Be on Time D．My Father and His WatchGoing to a friend’s house is ve ry exciting. You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he lives. So remember to be polite.When to arriveThe fist thing to remember is that when a friend invites you over, you need to arrive on time. If your friend tells you to come “around 3:00”, that means you can turn up a little bit after 3:00. But usually it is a good idea to arrive at the right time.What to bringOften it is also nice to bring something to your friend’s house. This could be a box of chocolates for you two to share, or maybe a movie that you can watch together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house.How to greetWhen you visit your friend’s house, you may also meet his parents. You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names. As a child, I went to visit my friend Paul. I called his parents by their first names John and Mary. But now I know it is more polite to call them Mr. or Mrs. Smith. This will show them more respect and then they may tell you to call them by their first names. Another way to show respect is to call them Madam or Sir.It is a cool thing to visit a friend’s house. Be polite to your friend and your friend’s parents, and you will be invited again!4．If yo u are told to get to your friend’s house around 5:00 p.m., it is polite to arrive at________ p.m.A．5:02 B．4:50 C．4:30 D．5:30 5．When the writer was a child, he called his friend’s father _______.A．Smith B．John C．Mary D．Paul6．The passage mainly tells us __________.A．when to arrive at your friend’s houseB．how to greet peopleC．what to bring to your friendD．how to be a good visitor7．The passage may be from ________.A．a notice on a wallB．a letter to a friendC．an article in a magazineD．a news story in a paperIn 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.The next important date in the history of photography(摄影术) was in 1837. That year, Daguere, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype.Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains.In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take picture of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of films and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard.Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike(栩栩如生).Photographers also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just cop ies of the real world. They showed people’s feelings, like other kinds of art. 8．The first photo taken by Niepce was a picture of ___________.A．his business B．his houseC．his garden D．his window9．The Daguerreotype was ____________.A．a Frenchman B．a kind of pictureC．a kind of camera D．a photographer10．Mathew Brady ________.A．was very lifelikeB．was famous for his unusual picturesC．was quite strongD．took many pictures of moving people11．This passage tells us __________.A．how photograph was developedB．how to show your ideas and feelings in picturesC．how to take pictures in the worldD．how to use different camerasThe meaning of the word “volunteer ” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services.” There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage(垃圾) from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. V olunteers don’t expect any kind of pay.At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a ____ of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.“I first heard ab out Mother Teresa in my high school, we watched a video(录像) about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks.”“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer the up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture(文化) that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”12．According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who ______.A．is willing to help those in need without pay B．can afford to travel to different places C．has a strong wish to be successful D．has made a big fortune in life13．Tracy started her work as a volunteer _______.A．after she met Mother TeresaB．after she finished high schoolC．when she was touring CalcuttaD．when she was working in a hospital14．Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer?A．She liked to work with Mother Teresa.B．She had already had some experience.C．She was asked by Mother Teresa’s example.D．She wanted to follow Mother Teresa’s example.15．What is Tracy’s “new idea” (Paragraph 2) of being a volunteer?A．Going abroad to help the sick.B．Working in Mother Teresa’s home.C．Doing simple things to help the poor.D．Improving oneself through helping others.二、七选五Taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to become a better student in several ways. 16．Second, your notes are excellent materials to refer to when you are studying for a test. Third, note-taking offers variety to your study time and helps you to hold your interest.You will want to take notes during classroom discussions and while reading a textbook or doing research for a report. 17．Whenever or however you take notes, keep in mind that note-taking is a selective process. 18．The following methods may work best for you.●Read the text quickly to find the main facts and ideas in it.●Carefully read the text and watch for words that can show main points and supporting facts.●Write your notes in your own words.●19．●Note any questions or i deas you may have about what was said or written.As you take notes, you may want to use your own shorthand(速记). When you do, be sure that you understand your symbols and that you use them all the time. 20．A．Otherwise, you may not be able to read your notes later.B．You will also want to develop your own method for taking notes.C．First, the simple act of writing something down makes it easier for you to understand and remember it.D．Use words, not complete sentences.E.There are three practical note-taking methods.F.That means you must first decide what is important enough to include in your notes.G.You must write your notes on separate paper.三、完形填空21．完形填空阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从1─20各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AWe’ve been running for three days. Appointments, evening activities and athletic events. Now we’ve just returned from a field trip and there’s cooking to do for an event tonight.I put on one of my husband’s T-shirts and a pair of sweatpants and start to work.I decide to ignore the table littered with books and coffee cups, the dishes that need washing and the floor that needs good cleaning. I’ll deal with the whole mess when I finish the cooking.Suddenly I hear a knock at the door. “Hello,”calls a sunny voice. I look through the window and a beautiful friend waves her hand out there. She’s dressed from work and looks completely together , too together for this kind of mess. But she comes in. I cringe (畏缩) for the condition of my home, for the way I look and for the vulnerability of being a straight-up mess.But to my surprise, my friend gives me a hug. And as I tidy the messy house, my friend and I chat freely and happily. As we chat, I find that I’m anything but ashamed.Suddenly I realize that she’s looking at my heart, not my house. I can be real-life vulnerable with this friend because the friendship is true, and true friendships are not woven with judgment and criticism but with love. Standing there, relaxed and warmed from the inside, I’m thankful that I’m enjoying safe vulnerability, and that regardless of my mess, I am loved by my friend.1. What’s the author about to do when her friend comes?A. To go to work.B. To read a book for relaxation.C. To do some washing and cleaning.D. To prepare food for an evening event.2. What can we learn about the author’s friend?A. She comes only to be shocked at the messy house.B. She comes well-dressed and behaves very well.C. She comes to the author’s help.D. She comes for an appointment with the author.3. After chatting with her friend, the author feels _______.A. satisfied with her present situationB. encouraged to be a together personC. delighted to have known such a friendD. ashamed to have shown her vulnerability to her friendBRebecca Sharrock has a rare condition, which means she can remember all the events she has experienced. The events are so vivid as if they happened just moments ago. Rebecca says that she can remember every single detail of her life.But for Rebecca, her vivid memories often become a reality. “When I relive memories, the emotions recur. So if it’s something from when I was younger, it’s like my mind is an adult but my emotions are at the age that I was then.” Rebecca said. “I also re-experience pain. For example, I remember falling over when I was three and hurting my left knee. Talking about it now, I’m getting painful in my left knee cap.”However, there are times when Rebecca’s memories prove to be too overwhelming requiring her to learn relaxation and mindfulness techniques to deal with. “At school,it is a barrier. I’m not very quick at processing things, so there is always so much going through my mind.” Rebecca said. “At night, I have to sleep with the radio on and a soft light. If it’s too dark or quiet, my mind just recalls all these memories and I can’t sleep.”In addition, Rebecca has no control over whether the memories she recalls will be positive or negative --- recalling painful experiences with such vividness that she has suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder (创后伤紧张症). Rebecca said, “Recently, I went back to my old days for my sister’s graduation. Being in that building again brought all those memories flooding back. I burst into tears and had to leave.”Rebecca and her mother, Mrs. Barnes got in touch with the . It was there that Rebecca knew she had Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory(HSAM). “Finding out about HSAM has been such a positive experience. Now Rebecca has been more positive and able to do things independently.” Mrs. Barnes said.4. What does HSAM bring to Rebecca?A. She could have a clear mind about herself.B. She could recall everything in her life.C. She could predict the future well.D. She could avoid pains in advance.5. Why does Rebecca suffer from her memory?A. Because it does damage to her brain.B. Because it makes her stand out from others.C. Because it brings her too much stress.D. Because it causes painful emotions sometimes.6. How is Rebecca’s life according to her mother?A. She lives a happy life with her mother.B. She still needs to struggle against HSAM for years.C. Her life improves gradually with days going by.D. Her life is totally changed after understanding HSAM.CSearch engines like Google make people think they are smarter than they actually are because they have the world’s knowledge at their fingertips, psychologists at have found. Surfing the Internet for information gives people a widely inaccurate view of their own intelligence and could lead to over-confidence when making decisions, experts warn.Experiments found that people who had searched on the Internet believed they were far more knowledgeable about a subject than those who had learned by normal routes, such as reading a book. “The Internet is such a powerful environment, where you can enter any question, and you can easily get the world’s knowledge at your fingertips.”said Mattew Fisher, a psychology professor at . “But it becomes easier to confuse your own knowledge with this source. When people are truly on their own, they would easily get more wrong answers.”More than 1,000 students took part in a range of experiments aimed at studying the psychological impact of searching on the Internet. In one test, the Internet group were given a website link which gave the answer to the question “how does a zip work”while a control group were given a print-out of the same information. When the two groups were tested later on an unrelated question --- “why are cloudy nights warmer?”the group who had searched online believed they were more knowledgeable even though they were not allowed to look up the correct answer.“We also believe that the wrong sense of personal knowledge also could be perilousin some areas when people make decisions; in case where decisions have great influence such as important business trade, it may cause millions of losses and even bankruptcy of a company.” Mr. Fisher added.The Internet is a big benefit in many ways, but there may be some disadvantages that aren’t immediately obvious and this may be one of them. “Right personal knowledge is difficult to achieve, and the Internet may be making that task even harder.”7. According to Matthew Fisher, ________.A. people should keep away from the InternetB. the Internet should concentrate on expertiseC. the Internet has more benefits than disadvantagesD. people shouldn’t rely too much on the Internet8. Researchers did the experiment through the way of ______.A. discussionB. assumption（猜测）C. observationD. comparison9. The underlined word “perilous” most probably means _______.A. ridiculousB. dangerousC. beneficialD. normal10. What is the main idea of the passage?A. People widely use the Internet.B. The Internet has many advantages.C. The Internet makes people over-confident.D. More experiments have been done on the Internet.DThere are so many things we do in our daily lives that have become a “habit”, 16 How you answer the phone is a habit. The way you sit in the car when you drive is a habit. Have you ever tried to change the way you do something, after you’ve done it in a certain way for so long? It’s easy to do as long as you think about it. The minute your mind drifts to something else, you go right back to the old way of doing things. 17 It’s a way of doing things that has become routine or commonplace. To change an existing habit or form a new one can be a tedious (单调乏味的) task.Let’s pick something fairly easy to start with, like spending 15 minutes in the morning reading the Bible. If you want to turn something into a habit that you do every day, you have to WANT to do it. 18 Make a firm decision to do this on a daily basis.Imprint(铭刻) it in your mind. Write several notes to yourself and put them in places where you will see them. By the alarm clock, on the bathroom mirror, on the refrigerator door, in your briefcase, and under your car keys are good places to start.After the newness wears off, then you will have to remind yourself, "Hey, I forgot to...". Keep using the notes if you have to. 19 Some people say it will take over a month to solidify (变得稳固) it and make it something you will do without having to think about it. I tend to agree with the last statement. Two to three weeks will help you to remember, but thirty days or more will make it a part of your everyday routine. 20A. What is a "habit" anyway?B. Is doing things in an old way good?C. Brushing your teeth is a habit.D. Forming a bad habit is easy.E. It takes 16 to 21 times of repeating a task to make it a habit.F. If you don’t, you will find a way to do everything but that.G. That’s something you won’t necessarily have to think about before you do it — habit.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，After shopping I got into my car.

江西省樟树市2020学年高一英语下学期周练试题（3）（1-3，11-13，19-20班）（无答案）第一节阅读理解（共8小题；每小题2分，满分16分）AThe next time you eat a piece of chocolate, be sure to enjoy it, because according to two of the world’s largest chocolate makers—Mars Inc and Barry Callebaut, the treat may soon be in short supply. The problem? We are consuming the candy at a faster pace than farmers can grow cocoa. The manufacturers say that in 2020, people consumed 70,000 tons more cocoa than was produced. Experts say that this is the worst supply-demand imbalance they have experienced in more than 50 years.Parts of the reason for the condition is the large reduction in supply, caused by a continuous drought in the west African countries of Ivory Coast and Ghana, where more than 70 percent of the world’s cocoa is produced. Additionally, a certain disease known as frosty pod has destroyed 30 to 40 percent of global cocoa production. As a result, many farmers have turned to more profitable and easier grown crops like corn. This means that even if conditions improve, cocoa production may never get back to normal.Meanwhile, the world is only getting hungrier for chocolate. The biggest increase in demand is from the residents of emerging market countries like India. Though their consumption is nowhere close to the amount European devour, their newly acquired amount for the treat , is making a huge dent(凹痕) in an already tight market.There is also the growing desire for dark chocolate, which contains more than 70 percent cocoa compared to normal chocolates. Experts believe thatif consumption continue at this pace, cocoa deficits (差额) could swell to one million tons by 2020 and to an even more worrisome, two million tons, by 2030.Not surprisingly, cocoa prices have risen by 60% since 2020, a cost that manufacturers have offset by raising the prices of everyone’s favorite candy. As the situation worsens, the price of chocolate can only rise—so be sure to enjoy piece of the sweet treat, like it is your last!1. The underlined phrase “supply—demand imbalance” probably means .A. People consume more chocolate than productionB. Farmers grow more cocoa than people’s demandC. More and more people like eating chocolates nowD. Chocolates are becoming more and more expensive2. It is hard to raise cocoa production probably because .A. The weather is changeable in the west AfricaB. A certain disease spread around the worldC. Many farmers don’t grow any longerD. It is impossible for conditions to be improved3. Where has the demand of chocolate been increasing greatly according to the passage?A. In AsiaB. In AfricaC. In EuropeD. In America4. According to the author’s prediction, we can know that .A. Chocolate will become cheap sooner or laterB. The farmers will produce more cocoa in 2030C. The price of chocolate will be going up all the wayD. Dark chocolate will be more popular than common oneBWindows 8, apart from Windows 95, is the biggest surprise and the only version of Microsoft’s operati ng system that has been changed from the core （核心）when compared to its former one.

This is not only practical but also extremely cool!Windows 8 experience—Apart from computers, Windows 8 will be used on all devices, including smart phones, tablet PC’s and so on. Also, owing to the fact that it has been specifically designed with touch screen users in mind, Windows 8, besides using keyboard and mouse, will offer a whole new user experience.However, there are still some disadvantages.The first one that has to be mentioned is that there is no Start Menu from Windows. Yes, there is no Start button in the lower left corner, and this might be a real puzzle of many Windows users.

The experience that my children are going through now in the primary school is so different from mine when I was at their age. What I think of a good school is communication between teachers，students and parents. 9 Parent-teacher communication guarantees that a child is educated in the same way and in turn a child will build special bonds in communication between their teachers and parents.10 My children return home telling me that their teachers ignoretheir questions when they raise their hands and don’t talk much. On the other hand，I feel the same when I write notes to school. 11 This is telling me there is a lack in communication from the school teachers nowadays as their life is so overwhelmed by the over-crowded schools we have in the US.However, choosing a career in education is not just for a good job. A teacher should really have heart in touching every child’s life. 12 Even now，I still remember all my elementary school teachers’ names. 13 The answer lies in the fact that they spent every minute of their precious time helping me and answering all my questions with patience. When you have teachers who are willing to spend time for any child and communicate with parents，it is what I consider a GREAT school for a child to attend，not just GOOD.A.I don’t get any response from the teachers to my questions, not even a one-word response.B. There are different ways of communication, according to different cultures.C. Why is that?D. Strong communication is very important to a child’s education.E.I feel that schools nowadays don’t communicate with parents enough.F. My elementary school teachers all touched my life.G. What do you think of it?第三部分完形填空（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）During the war, my husband was stationed at an army camp in a desert in California. I went to live there in order to be 14 him. I hated the place.

I made up my mind I would find out what was good in present 24 ; I would look for the stars.I made friends with the natives, and the 25 amazed me. They gave me presents of their favorite artworks which they had 26 to sell to tourists. I studied the delightful forms of the cactus.

The desert hadn’t changed, 30 I had. I had changed my 31 .And by doing so, I changed an unhappy experience into the most amazing 32 of my life, I was excited by this new world that I had discovered I had looked out of my self-created prison and 33 the stars.14.

2020-2021学年江西樟树中学、高安二中高二上学期期末英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择Imagine there is a bank that puts $ 86, 400 in your account each morning. It carries over nobalancefrom day to day. Every evening the bank writes off(注销) the balance that you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Take out every cent, of course!Each of us has such a bank. Its name is TIME. Every morning, it puts in 86, 400 seconds. Every evening it writes off, as it is lost. There is no balance or overdraft. If you fail to use the day's savings, the lost is yours. There is no going back. There is no taking from “tomorrow”. You must make good use of it so as to get more in health, happiness and success!The clock is running. Make the most of today. To realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade; To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature(早产) baby; To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper; To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet; To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train; To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an accident.Make good use of every moment that you have. Remember that time waits for no one. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it's called "The Present".1．The underlined word "balance" in paragraph 1 means _______________.A．贷款B．余款C．平衡D．提款2．What is special about the TIME bank we each have?A．We can store time in it whenever we like.B．Someone puts $ 86, 400 in it every day.C．Someone helps you spend your time every night.D．The time in it will surely get lost if you don't use it.3．What can be the best title of the passage?A．The Bank of Money B．The Clock is RunningC．The Bank of Time D．The V alue of One HourDear Editor,Recent reports have indicated an additional 1, 400 Marines（海军陆战队）are being sent to Afghanistan in the coming weeks. This means it costs over $1 million annually on the ground over there. I do place a higher level of blame on the policymakers who send soldiers off to kill and be killed in the field. I think the human race needs to think more about killing.One needs to do theintrospection: “Are these wars JUST?” I believe that all of our wars since 1945 have been illegal, under international law as well. I suggest that all your readers examine their conscience as it relates to the matter of making war. The fact that many soldiers are motivated by a strong sense of duty does not give them some unqualified(绝对的) moral right to support these wars or any other. It’s responsible forall the troops, and the entire population, to determine whether the Afghan or Iraq wars are in accordance with(符合) the development of the state.I wish someone would give me one or more logical reasons why we are still fighting in Afghanistan and what our goals are. I certainly don’t understand it and neither do many who are more knowledgeable than I.Outsiders have tried unsuccessfully for centuries to conquer Afghanistan, and we seem to be no more successful. We are trying to develop a stable central government, but the country is badly divided into ethnic and tribal groups, and the current government is corrupt（腐败的）. Moreover, we are apparently regarded as undesirable occupiers by many of its people, most notably(尤其) the Taliban(塔利班).If we are to continue spending billions every year in Afghanistan and killing hundreds of our people and many of theirs, our government must provide us with a reasonable explanation of why we are doing so and what we can expect to accomplish.George Myers4．What caused the author to write the letter?A．His conscience of being a citizen.B．His relatives being killed in the war.C．Reports about sending soldiers to Afghanistan.D．Getting no reasonable explanation.5．The underlined word “introspection” in the passage means______________________. A．self-awareness B．self-examinationC．self-confidence D．self-defence6．The soldiers go to Afghanistan because______________________________.A．they can contribute to the development of AmericaB．they have the moral right to do soC．they want to become heroes in the warD．they are performing their duty as a resident7．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．The U.S.A has developed a stable central government.B．Most people can’t understand why the States makes wars.C．The Afghan considered Americans as undesirable occupiersD．American government should make an explanation to the public.A primary school in Wuhan has used new desks and chairs to prevent students from getting short sight. The desks and chairs make students have the correct posture, especially when reading and writing. Each desk has an adjustable steel bar. The bar can help students keep their eyes at least 30cm from books.Zhang Jianming is headmaster of the primary school. She said the new desks and chairs were provided by an eye care centre in the city. The school carried out a survey last September. It showed that about 7 percent of its 1,093 students said they suffered from short sight.The new desks and chairs have already improved the students’ posture, but both teachers and students might need more time to get used to them.Yang Lihua is head of the Wuhan Youth Eye Care Center. She said the desks and chairs were introduced to 19 schools on a trial basis. “During our research into short sight, we noticed that the number of students with short sight was increasing. This is because parents are teaching their children to read and write at a very early age without paying enough attention to their posture,” she said.Feng Junying is a doctor at Beijing Jingshan School. “I think the new desks and chairs in Wuhan will certainly be helpful,” she said. “But bad reading habits at school are not the only reason for short sight. Children are using mobile phones and iPads when they are very young. This can be another reason for short sight at a young age.”8．According to the passage, the adjustable steel bar can help the students keep their eyes___________ from books.A．20cm B．25cm C．29cm D．32cm9．The schools in Wuhan introduced the desks with bars to the primary school students in order to _______________.A．make students grow tallB．help students have the correct postureC．help students love readingD．not allow students to use mobile10．Feng Junying’s words mean ___________________________________.A．the number of students with short sight is increasingB．the students don’t get used to the new desks and chairsC．bad reading habits are not the only reason of the students’ short sightD．the new desks and chairs are useless for the students to improve their eye sight 11．From the passage, a good way to protect our eyesight isto___________________________.A．buy an adjustable steel barB．go to the Youth Eye Care Centre oftenC．have a correct posture when we are studyingD．read less and use mobile phones and iPads lessDESIGN―A―LOGO CONTESTWe need a logo—a graphic (绘画的) image—that will be the perfect symbol of our great new Wellsville Skate Park.

It refers to a picture of yourself, usually shared on any social networking website.16．Some selfies are extreme close-ups(特写镜头), and others show part of an arm held straight outward. A few of them even feature the subject standing in front of a bathroom mirror.Everyone takes selfies, but the younger crowd seems to be especially involved in the trend. Young people are relatively heavier digital users. They are interested in staying connected to their friends. 17．.There are also kinds of psychological (心理上的)actors driving people to take a selife and upload it to a social networking site. 18．. A quick and easy way to attract other’s attention is to get “likes” and comments from friends. Secondly, it’s human nature to show off your own great achievements. When you feel good about yourself or look good, it’s far too easy to take out your phone and document it all through one or several selfies. 19．That’s right. Sometimes people are bored at work, bored at school, bored at home and even bored on the toilet. Last but not least, social media is about being social. If that means uploading as many selfies as possible, then so it be. It’s fun, and it’s a cool way to sort of document your own life.Finally, there are things to be mindful of when you’re posting. It’s easy to think you’re sharing a photo with a few people. 20．So don’t post anything online, selife especially. A．There are lots of selfie styles.B．The rise of selfies has become universal.C．Social media, to some extent, is the driving force of their selife activity.D．The desire to take, post and get “likes” on selfies goes back to a biological behavior.E.But the whole world of social media is public and every individual can get access to it.F.There are also people who will take selfies because they have nothing else better to doG.The leading factor is that people want to get attention from as many people as possible.三、完形填空完形填空阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
