learning languages in school，but only recently did I start learning German．I found that I could understand and learn individual words easily，but when it came to literature，I really struggled．That was when my tutor at university suggested reading some children's books printed in the target language．At first，I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a book designed for someone half my age，but then I realised that everyone has to start somewhere．As children，we are given these basic texts to familiarise our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structures，and from there，we can learn and develop．I started with books which are taught to us as children in the UK．I managed to find Oliver twist by Charles dickens and James and the giant Peach by Roald Dahl．The beauty of reading books that were introduced to you as a child is that you are alreadyfamiliar with the plot．Therefore you can work out some words with your knowledge of the story．At first，I used to read with the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other but this did not work well．The method I would recommend is to read a chapter first and at the end of that chapter，highlight the new words and then look up the definitions，If you can wait a bit before using a dictionary，you may be surprised what you can understand merely from the context．Additionally，a lot of children's books have pictures which may give you a clue as to what or to whom the passage is referring．If you can find a translation of the books you have read as a child，I would strongly advise reading those if you are a complete beginner．However，if you feel a bit more confident reading in English，I would personally recommend the series of Harry Potter，books by JK．Rowling or any of the Roald Dahl children's books．（1）What makes it hard for the author to learn German？A．The author had a poor memory．B．The author had no interest in it．C．The author had no one to ask for help．D．The author couldn't read books fluently．（2）What did the author think of reading children's books in the target language at first？A．Interesting．B．Stupid．C．Helpful．D．Boring．（3）What does the author try to express mainly in Paragraph3？A．How to deal with new words while reading．B．Why it is helpful to read children's book at first．C．How to choose a proper book to match your level．D．How to form the habit of reading in the target language．（4）Why does the author write this text？A．To give tips on how to learn a new language．B．To persuade the readers to learn a new language．C．To stress the importance of reading in language learning．D．To share the authors stories of learning a new language．13．（8分）I love winter birds and I love photographing them in snow．That being said，I admit that I'm a fair﹣weather birder（猎鸟者）．Worse，I'm a lazy，fair﹣weather birder．I don't like weather extremes，so when it，s very hot or really cold，it is hard to get me to leave the comfort of home．In summer，I only photograph hummingbirds（蜂鸟）in my yard，and in winter，I try to only go out on relatively mild days．Most of my bird photography is done within an hour's drive of my hometown of Elmira，Ont．So it's all about finding a balance that works．The winter of2014was a great year for snowy owls（雪枭）here in Woolwich Township．One day in early March，I was on my way home from work when I noticed a beautiful snowy owl sitting in a tree right at the crossing．I pulled over to admire him，and then kept heading home unwillingly．Two hundred meters or so down the road，there were two more snowy owls in a field by a fence，and in the next field over，another on top of a fence post．I couldn't find words to express my feeling at that moment．Thus I rushed home，grabbed my camera and went right back out to get some pictures．It was one of the most magical local birding moments I've ever experienced．When I'm looking for excellent opportunities to photograph snowy owls and other birds without spending dozens of hours searching for them﹣and if I'm lucky，finding one that's semi﹣cooperative﹣I head to the Canadian Raptor Conservancy（CRC）or the Mountsberg Raptor Centre．I've attended so many photo sessions at each of these fantastic facilities that I've lost count．（1）What factor has the most effect on whether the author goes out to photograph birds or not？A．Road conditions．B．Personal emotion．C．Weather conditions．D．Time arrangement．（2）How did the author feel when he saw the snowy owls on the way home？A．Sad．B．Excited．C．Untouched．D．Proud．（3）What does the underlined word"them"in Paragraph4refer to？A．Opportunities．B．Moments．C．Pictures．D．Birds．（4）What can we infer about the author？A．The author only photographs snowy owls．B．The author can take excellent photos easily．C．The author makes a living by photographing birds．D．The author values each chance to photograph birds．14．（8分）WHAT are scientists？They are often described as gray﹣haired white﹣coated dull Scholars．But the world has changed．Young scientists are making their voices heard and releasing their powers on the world stage．This is also true in China．Rising stars include new materials expert gong Yongji university professor Liu Mingzhen，and biologist Wang Ruixue．At the age of28in2018 Wan Ruixue received the2018Science&SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists．This is a global prize to reward outstanding scientists at an early stage of their careers．She focuses mainly on biomedicine（生物医学）and artificial intelligence（人工智能）．Both are cutting﹣edge（前沿）technologies at an early stage of development，"she said．"So，I think they have great potential to be developed．I think in the study of cutting edge technologies，China and other leading countries in the world are standing on the samestarting line．And in the study of structural biology，China is likely to become the leader．"She felt it was her fate to become a biologist．"I grew interested in the natural world when I was very young，"she said．In2009，she entered Sun Yat﹣sen University．In her third year at the university，she realized that she wanted to do something related to biomedicine．So she emailed China's top biologist Shi Yigong，hoping to join his lab at Tsinghua University．Shi recognized her talent and welcomed her．Years of efforts at the lab have paid off．Her research on the high﹣definition3D structure of spliceosome led to a scientific breakthrough．Unlike many of other young scientists who choose to pursue further study abroad，Wan currently has no plan to go overseas．"The whole ecosystem for scientific research is continually improving in China，"she said，adding the country has great science facilities．（1）What does the underlined word"releasing"in Paragraph2mean？A．Giving out．B．Getting over．C．Finding out．D．Taking over．（2）What does Wan Ruixue feel about the study of cutting﹣edge technologies in China？A．Anxious．B．Confident．C．Disappointed．D．Satisfied．（3）What can we learn about Wan Ruixue's journey of becoming a biologist？A．Her teacher led her into the field．B．She finds it's easier than she thought．C．Her contribution has been recognized．D．She thinks it's boring but worth trying．（4）Which can be the best title of the text？A．China's Breakthrough in ScienceB．Rising Young Scientists in ChinaC．Wan Ruixue：A Successful Young ScientistD．New Image of Chinese Scientists第二节（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）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．15．（10分）In our day﹣to﹣day lives，we must interact with a

along with just about everyone．（2）People with a genuinely positive attitude are seen as more attractive and charming by others．The more you can cultivate this outlook in your own life，the more people

everything．（3）This is part of communicating effectively．Respect differences between people．Accepting the fact that people are different from you，and that doesn't make them wrong，is part of having a

It’s an interesting and exciting new improvement in today’s quali ty of the air we breathe and save our natural resources.The quality of our air is affected by many different things. But one of the largest sources of air pollution is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and gas which are used to power a car’s eng ine. The EPA has set national standards to help control the level of harmful pollutants sent off into the air, and the automobile industry has acted by producing a hybrid car that uses less gas and therefore causes less pollution.A hybrid car is a combination of a regular car that runs on gas and an electric car that is battery powered. Some people tend to think that since the hybrid car is partly electric, you have to plug it in to charge it. But that’s not how it works. Through the energy that is prod uced when the car’s brakes are used. This is referred to as “regenerative braking（再生制动）,” because it generates electricity.Although the hybrid car still runs on gas most of the time, this help it use less gas than a regular car. When a driver stops at a traffic light, the engine automatically shuts off to save fuel. Then, as soon as the driver puts the car in gear（处于正常工作状态）and touches the gas pedal, the engine starts back up.Have you ever ridden in a car with someone who ran out of gas? That probably wouldn’t happen if you were riding in a hybrid car. It flashed a warning reads: “ YOU ARE NOW OUT OF GAS!” Then the electric power supply energy in to let the driver travel a few more miles to a gas station.56．According to the passage, the underlined word “hybrid” （in Paragraph 1）refers to _____.A．a high-tech discovery B．energy-saving C．a new invention D．a new kind for the combination of two things 57．“Regenerative braking” is an important process of the hybrid car because____________.A．it allows the car to come to a quick stop B．it makes the car ride smootherC．it generates energy to charge the electric motor D．it can control the speed of the car58．The EPA is important to our environment because __________.A．they designed hybrid cars B．they forbade the burning of fossil fuelsC．they set important rules that help control pollution D．their main purpose is to produce non-polluting cars 59．Which of the following is the reason for developing hybrid cars?A．They use less gas than regular cars. B．They’re safer to drive than most cars.C．They’re more modern than other cars.D．They cost less than regular cars.B．篇Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future.The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types. Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion （拥挤）. One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system. When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable （可伸缩的）arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car's movements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer （蜂鸣器）that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.60．One significant improvement in the future car will probably be________.A．its power source B．its driving system C．its monitoring system D．its seating capacity61．What is the author's main concern?A．How to render automobiles pollution-free. B．How to make smaller and safer automobiles.C．How to solve the problem of traffic jams. D．How to develop an automated subway system.62．What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?A．A rail. B．An engine.C．A retractable arm. D．A computer controller.63．In an automated highway system, all the driver needs to do is _______.A．keep in the right lane B．wait to arrive at his destinationC．keep in constant touch with the computer center D．inform the system of his destination by phone64．What is the author's attitude toward the future of autos?A．Enthusiastic.B．Pessimistic. C．Optimistic.D．Cautious.C篇Chinese basketball players have never been so close to the NBA before but questions remain about how they will adjust to life in the NBA if they go. Wang Zhizhi, the 2.16-metre center for the Bayi Rockets who was chosen by the Dallas Mavericks two years ago, has finally received permission from authorities to travel to Dallas to play for the rest of the NBA season after he finishes playing in the Chinese Basketball Association’s finals on March 25th.If he has no problems with his visa（签证）,Wang will be the NBA’s first Asian player. Wang was chosen by the Mavericks in the second round of the 1999 draft but the Rockets, an army-run club, refused to let him go. After negotiations（谈判）between the Rockets and NBA representatives（代表）,the decision was made to allow Wang the chance to try his hand at American basketball, but only for a period of short time. He has to be back to play in the Ninth National Games in November in Guangzhou.Another center who has attracted attention from the NBA is Yao Ming, the 2.25-meter star who has led to the Shanghai Sharks into the finals fight with the Rockets this year. The 20-year-old’s NBA dreams might be harder to realize. Yao is the center of the Sharks and the club’s manager Bei Genyuan has said that he would allow Yao to go only at a proper time, for a proper team and under proper conditions. Yao hasn’t been chosen yet and it is unlikely that h e will be any time soon. People in the Shark’s front office earlier told members of the press that “it is not proper for Yao to attend the draft this year” b ecausehe has to represent Shanghai in the Ninth National Games.Even if Wang and Yao make it to the promised land of basketball at last, analysts on both sides of the Pacific have said the NBA road will be a long one for both of them.Besides needing to work on their upper body strength, Wang and Yao will also have to adapt（适应）to the speed, techniques and above all, culture of the NBA．65．Yao Ming has attracted attention from NBA because ____.A．he is 2.25 metres tall, who is the tallest basketball player in ChinaB．he is the center of the Shanghai Sharks and has led Sharks into the final fight with the RocketsC．he is regarded as the best basketball player in China D．he is thought highly of in the international world 66．Yao Ming can play for NBA if ____.A．there is no problem with his visa B．NBA agrees to supply favorable conditions for himC．time and conditions are proper D．NBA can pay a large sum of money for Sharks67．NBA chose Wang Zhizhi so that _____.A．it can show NBA need talents B．Wang Zhizhi can have a bright futureC．its whole level will be improved D．it can make Wang Zhizhi world-famous68．When Wang Zhizhi plays in NBA, he will have to adapt to many things of NBA except.A．rules of basketball B．the speed C．culture D．techniquesPa ssage 1Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables.1 Make a study time and have it at the same time every day.This will help your kids to learn to schedule their day and will give them a sense of control over how they spend their time.Allow them to study in blocks of time，such as for half an hour with a five-minute break in the middle. 2 Ideal (理想的) study time is after dinner or right after school before dinner.Never allow your children to study in front of te levision，as that will encourage passive activity. 3 You’ll a lso need to help your kids find the right place to study.After you’ve set up a good study time for little learners，set up a good place where they can get those creative juices flowing.4 Make sure there is a table or a desk and a comfortable chair.5 This includes helping them out with their homework sometimes and being there for t hem with the answers to any questions.The input you give your children duri ng study periods will help form a bond and help make studying enjoyable.A.Pick a place where your children can study properly.B.Hold them to the schedule they create for themselves.C.Finally，spend time with your kids when they’re studying.D.Keep the atmosphere light and offer lots of encouragement，too.E.Instead，use TV as a treat or a reward when the homework is completed.F.Try to stop this bad habit by offering some sort of reward.G.One of the best ways to form good study h abits for your kids is to design a schedule that they keep to.Passage 2The seven Cs of a good letterWhat is the secret of writing a good letter?
