But is there alanguage that can be understood by everyone in the world? If there is, the answermight be EMOJIS (表情符号).Emojis are a kind of special language. Pictures are used to put meaning across.A group called the Unicode Consortium works on choosing emojis. It has added newemojis every year since 2014. They show what people think about and like.Emojis can be used to represent(代表) different groups of people. In 2015, emoji faces with different skin tones(肤色) were added. In 2016, different jobs were added, such as doctor, police officer and painter. This year, emojis of disabled people were added including emojis of blind people and people in wheelchairs.But there is also more to emojis. They can also refer to(指的是) pop culture and new cultural trends(潮流).New emojis in 2019 also include several animals, such as sloths (树懒) and flamingos(火烈鸟). These animals are not very common, but are known to many people. For example, sloths have become popular because of the 2016 film Zootopia(《疯狂动物城》). Many fashion designers(设计师) have included flamingos in their designs in recent years. This animal makes people feel like they’re on a vacation.It seems that emojis are a mirror of the world we live in. It will be interesting to see how they change and grow in the years to come.11.Emojis use to express ideas. ( )A.musicB.soundsC.wordsD.pictures12.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?( )A.The Unicode Consortium.B.An emoji.C.A country.D.A language.13.According to the passage, emojis include the following EXCEPT .

( )A.People all over the world might understand emojis.B.Emojis can represent pop culture.C.Many fashion designers used sloths in their works.D.Emojis are changing and growing every year.Passage 2Learning a new language is hard. In recent research, scientists found that your chances of reaching fluency(流利) in a new language drop off at the age of 10. Does that mean you should give up your French class if you are older than 10? No!The research found that it’s “nearly impossible” to reach fluency if you start learning a language after age 10. That’s not because your language skills start to get worse. “You’re still learning fast,” says Joshua. “It’s just because your ability to learn starts dropping at around 10 or 11 years old.”The researchers say people who try to learn a new language after 10 may still become quite good. But they will probably not become fluent. Kids may be better than adults at learning new languages for many reasons. One is that children’s brains are more adaptable(能适应的) than adults’ brains. This means they are better able to change. Kids may also would like to try new things. And adults may depend on the rules of their first language. But kids are able to accept a new language without them.15.Why is it difficult to reach fluency if we start learning a language after age 10? ( )A.We are too old to learn well.B.We can’t learn fast any more.C.Our language skills start to get worse.D.Our ability to learn starts dropping.16.Why are adults worse than kids at learning a new language? ( )A.Adults may depend on the rules of their first language.B.Adults are able to accept a new language easily.C.Adults’ brains are more adaptable.D.Adults like to try new things.17.Who would become more fluent in learning a new language? ( )A.Mary, 8 years old.B.Tom, 18 years old.C.Jenny, 42 years old.D.Lucy, 65 years old.18.What does the passage mainly want to tell us? ( )A.We should give up our new class if we are older than 10.B.We’d better try to learn a new language before 10.C.Learning a new language after 10 may still become quite good.D.We should learn a new language when we are old.Ⅲ.回答问题There are many holidays and festivals. Dads have Father’s Day. Mums have Mother’s Day. But do our grandparents have a special festival? Yes, they do!The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for people in China. It started long ago. The festival is on lunar September 9th. On this day, people show love and respect to their grandparents.There are many ways in which Chinese people express their respect. When an older person enters a room, everyone stands. People are introduced from the oldest to the youngest. When we present a book to an older person, two hands are used. Young people always offer their seats to older people on crowded subway or on a bus.Respecting older people is a tradition in China. That’s because the Chinese know that older people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn. Chinese people are proud of being old.Westerners respect their older people, too. Usually, seniors don’t have to buy tickets for trains and buses. They are given discounts(打折) in stores and restaurants.But Western seniors don’t often live with their children—they live alone. For holidays, the family usually gather at the grandparents’ home, and a great smile and a warm hug for their parents are enough for grown children to show their respect.19.When is the Double Ninth Festival?(不超过10个词)20.What can the young learn from older people?(不超过10个词)21.How do Western grown children show their respect?(不超过15个词)【参考答案】Ⅰ.[主旨大意]本文是一篇记叙文,讲述吉姆和杰克两兄弟在回家的路上看见一座房子着火了,他们快速地通知邻居并让他们报警。

Over one billion(十亿)young people are at risk of hearing loss(失聪)because of listening to loud noise for long periods of time. Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes is harmful to your hearing.The United Nations has standards for safe listening. It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 decibels(dB分贝) for eight hours or 100 dB for 15 minutes. The sound of a busy road is about 85 dB and the sound of a rock concert can be about 100 dB.Loud noise is harmful to the inner ears(内耳). Most of us are born with about 16,000 hair cells(听毛细胞) in our inner ears. However, listening to loud noise for a long time can make these cells work too hard and cause some of them to die. This is what causes hearing loss.Some people might think that their music isn't all that loud. But this can depend on where you are. For example, if you are in a noisy place like the subway, you might turn up your music too loud without realising it. Later, when you listen to it at the same volume in a quiet place, you might feel uncomfortable.The World Health Organisation said the “safe level” for most sounds is below 80 dB for upto 40 hours a week. A level of 80 dB is roughly equal to(大约相当于) the noise of a subway.1.Many young people are at risk of hearing loss because they .

She enjoyed being with them because she could talk as much as she liked.After many years, the pond became very low in a dry season and finally it dried up. The two ducks decided to fly to another place. They went to say goodbye to the tortoise.“Oh, don't leave me behind!” begged(恳求) the tortoise. “Take me with you. I must die if I am left here.”“” said the ducks. “How can we take you with us?”Finally, the ducks had a nice idea. They said, “We will each take hold of one end of a stick, and you take the middle in your mouth. Then we will fly up in the air and carry you with us. But remember not to talk! If you open your mouth, you'll be lost.”The tortoise said she would not say a word.When they were above the treetops, the tortoise wanted to say, “How high we are!” But she remembered what the ducks said and kept still. When they passed the church(教堂), she wanted to say, “What is that which shines?” But she remembered what t he ducks said and held her peace. Then they came over the village square.

Over one billion(十亿)young people are at risk of hearing loss(失聪)because of listening to loud noise for long periods of time. Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes is harmful to your hearing.The United Nations has standards for safe listening. It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 decibels(dB分贝) for eight hours or 100 dB for 15 minutes. The sound of a busy road is about 85 dB and the sound of a rock concert can be about 100 dB.Loud noise is harmful to the inner ears(内耳). Most of us are born with about 16,000 hair cells(听毛细胞) in our inner ears. However, listening to loud noise for a long time can make these cells work too hard and cause some of them to die. This is what causes hearing loss.Some people might think that their music isn't all that loud. But this can depend on where you are. For example, if you are in a noisy place like the subway, you might turn up your music too loud without realising it. Later, when you listen to it at the same volume in a quiet place, you might feel uncomfortable.The World Health Organisation said the “safe level” for most sounds is below 80 dB for upto 40 hours a week. A level of 80 dB is roughly equal to(大约相当于) the noise of a subway.1.Many young people are at risk of hearing loss because they . ( )A.watch TV every dayB.listen to music every dayC.listen to loud noise in the subwayD.listen to loud noise for a long time2.What is loud noise harmful to?

( )A.We feel comfortable when listening to loud music in a quiet place.B.Most people are born with about 1,600 hair cells in the inner ears.C.It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 dB for 15 minutes.D.Below 80 dB for up to 40 hours a week is the “safe level” for most sounds.4.What is the best title of the passage?

Scientists from Britain did two experiments (实验).The first was done in a lab. People wore special wristbands( 腕带 ). Someof them were asked to watch comedies while others watched serious programmes. Then the scientists tightened (勒紧 ) the wristbands to see how much pain the people could feel.The other test was done at an art festival.Somepeople watched a comedy show and others watched a drama ( 戏剧 ). At the same time, they had to put their backs against the wall and keep their legsbent (曲折的) just like sitting on a chair. They did this before and after the show.Scientists found that just 15 minutes of laughter improves people's ability to stand pain by10%. However, the serious programmes and the drama didn't make a difference to pain at all.The study found that the magic power of laughter comes from endorphins (内啡肽). These are chemicals (化学物质). They are produced by the human body. They make you feel less pain and canmake people feel happier. Exercise can produce endorphins. Your muscles ( 肌肉 )move in you are laughing. Scientists believe that this makes your muscles tiring, so we start to produce endorphins.Scientists also found that the only real and relaxing laughter works not just polite Next time you have a head ache, get together with a group of friends, watch a funny movie and laugh. You will soon feel a lot better because laughter is the best medicine.1.Scientists knew how much pain the people felt by in the first experiment.

His 1 name is Manabu Yukawa and works at a university as a physics professor. Yukawa is as 2 as Galileo the scientist and has great talent for detection. So his old schoolmate Kusanagi, who is now a police officer, often asks him for 3 to solve hard cases.Yukawa is a quiet person but sometimes can also be cold. He is only interested in 4 . So when Kusanagi comes to him for help, he usually shows 5 interest. But when he finds there could be science behind the case, he becomes very 6 .While solving a case, Yukawa usually makes 7 use of his physics and maths knowledge. Sometimes he may even do 8 to prove(证明) his thoughts.Most cases 9 Yukawa solves seem supernatural(超自然的) and impossible. The first case that Manabu Yukawa takes is such a case. A young man died 10 burns to the head while partying at night. Police believe it to be a(n) 11 caused by firecrackers(爆竹). But Yukawa doesn't think it could be that 12 . He finds something that reminds him that lasers(激光) can also burn things.

But have you ever wondered the reason why people speak Spanish in so many South American countries? Do you know why the brilliant footballers of Brazil speak Portuguese? And why is French the first language of some people in Canada? The answer is that all these countries belonged to European empires at one time. The next question is: How did these empires begin? To answer that question we have to probably go back to the 15th and 16th centuries, the golden age of European explorers.Although this period is known as the golden age of European explorers, it was not the beginning of European exploration. As you probably know, Marco Polo travelled a long way to China at the end of the 13th century and some people say that the Vikings discovered America long before Columbus set sail in 1492. However, it is during this “golden”period that some famous voyages took place. Columbus' voyage to America is the best known voyage of exploration, but Ferdinand Magellan sailed round the world in this period, and Spanish explorers such as Cortez and Pizarro reached South America. Cortez defeated the Aztecs in what we now know as Mexico and Pizarro defeated the Incas in what we now know as Peru. The roots of the Spanish empire were established and that is why the Spanish language is so widely spoken in Central and South America today.1.When is the golden age of European explorers? ( )A.The 15th century.B.The 16th century.C.The 13th century.D.The 15th and 16th centuries.2.Which is not the voyage of exploration taking place during the golden period? ( )A.Columbus sailed to America.B.Marco Polo travelled to China.C.Ferdinand Magellan voyaged round the world.D.Cortez and Pizarro reached South America.3.Who defeated the Aztecs in what we now know as Mexico? ( )A.Pizarro.B.Cortez.C.Incas.D.Columbus.4.From the passage, we can know that . ( )A.Many countries in South America have been influenced by European countriesB.The period of the 15th and 16th centuries was the beginning of the European explorationC.European explorers occupied some American countries in a peaceful wayD.Ferdinand Magellan's voyage round the world is not famous at allPassage 2 [2019·常州改编]Basketball can be fun, or it can be trouble. People gather around a ball, but their reactions (反应) often go beyond the object.It was a terribly hot summer day when the group of us appeared on the basketball court. Silently, we teamed up and played, as always. The sun was a big “squeezer (挤压者)”, as it not only squeezed out of us sweat(汗水) and energy, but also our unhappy feelings. Body contact became more and more often, and we could all feel the attacks of elbows (肘部). After another round of game, one of the players and I fell to the ground at the same time. From his burning eyeballs, I could see a fight was almost unavoidable.It suddenly came to me that my tins of Cola were lying on the ground, about an inch away from me. “Buddy, hot down here. What about a drink?” I said to him.Carefully I rolled (滚动) one to him, looking at him in the eyes with my most sincere (真诚的) expression on the face. “I guess I'm quite fine. Lucky no broken bones or we'll end up in the hospital!” I said.Other players watching nearby all laughed. I could clearly see some movements on his face. My humour did work! He picked the Cola up, tried to open it, and walked over. As he passed by my side, he held out his left hand, and smiled at me. I smiled back, took his hand, and gave him a light shake.A gentle wind caught me on the face as I returned to the basketball court. The sun continued to provide warmth for us. What could be better than a group of school students exchanging basketball skills on a warm, sunny afternoon?1.The underlined word “unavoidable” means .

I have learned how much a person working in the medical field can do for them.When I was in Mexico, I met a little girl. I was watching a tooth filling with Dr Sussi 2 I heard her laughter from across the room. I saw a little kid holding a toy and dancing and 3 with my friend Kevin. But her skin looked very 4 . While I was looking at her, Dr Sussi said, “Do you know her story?”I 5 my head.“The girl got 80 percent burns on her body when she was 3 years old. Her house was 6 . She was found to have third-degree burns and immediately sent to hospital. 7 , she was saved but her skin was…”I was shocked that she had gone through so much. I walked 8 and realised that all her body was covered with scars(伤疤). Her fingers and hair were 9 gone. To be honest, I was a little afraid to look at her. Her pure eyes made me feel that she was a(n) 10 girl. She probably didn't realise 11 she was different than others.Dr Sussi told me later that her mum took her to the clinic to play with us every weekend.

The popular film won Best Picture at the 91st Academy Awards on Feb. 25, 2019.The movie was made from the true story of a road trip through the southern US in the early 1960s. In the film, the black pianist Don Shirley asks Italian-American Tony Vallelonga to drive him to concerts, but they face problems because of Shirley's skin colour. These problems lead them to forma special friendship.“There's something so deeply right about this movie, so true to the time,” wrote US film critic(评论家) Mick Lasalle at the San Francisco Chronicle.The time Lasalle is talking about was between late 1870s and 1960s, a very different period in US history. Many parts of the country had Jim Crow laws(《吉姆·克劳法》), which allowed racial segregation(种族隔离).These laws made life and travel dangerous for African-Americans. They couldn't use certain hotels, restaurants, or even gas stations. They had to be indoors after the sunset or they might go to jail(牢). Even the famous black people had to follow the laws.But in 1936, a black mail carrier named Victor H. Green had an idea. He made a list of friendly businesses in New York City. He published the list as a small book with a green cover. The Green Book helped African-Americans travel more safely. Then, in 1964, Jim Crow laws went away. The book went away, too.Today many US people still remember the time of Jim Crow. But they probably don't know about The Green Book.It's a forgotten part of the story. Thanks to this movie, maybe people can remember it again.1.What prize did the movie win at the 91st Academy Awards? ( )A.The Best Actor.B.The Best Music.C.The Best Story.D.The Best Picture.2.Jim Crow laws had influenced the African-Americans for . ( )A.only a few yearsB.about fifty yearsC.nearly a centuryD.over a hundred years3.Whose name might be found in The Green Book? ( )A.An Italian taxi driver.B.A white American doctor.C.A friendly black musician.D.A famous African soldier.4.What will many US people do after they watch the Green Book? ( )A.They will fight against the African-Americans.B.They will come to know The Green Book again.C.They may think it is a shame to see such a film.D.They might miss the time of Jim Crow laws a lot.Ⅲ.语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的词,或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。
