With his glasses at the tip of his nose，he greeted us cheerfully，“Good morning，folks！” He was strange and unique and he brightened every day for us.He was the most dynamic teacher I had ever met.I loved music，so I remember how excited I was when he said he was going to give us music lessons.But when he turned on the music，my classmates and I slowly turned our heads toward the soun d of ...Peter Paul and Mary singing “If I Had a Hammer”．Snickers (窃笑) filled the room.If it wasn't rap or hip hop，we didn't recognize it.What were these people singing about?

Yes，dark chocolate has compounds (化合物)that offer health benefits and can be enjoyed without guilt ，even on a daily basis.But the amount matters，since too many bites can contribute to extra fat，sugar and calories and get rid of its health benefits.Dark chocolate is rich in cocoa，which contains compounds known as flavanols(黄烷醇)．At high levels，cocoa flavanols have been shown to help lower blood pressur e and the risk of diabetes.Dark chocolate has the highest amo unt of cocoa flavanols：milk chocolate has less，and white chocolate has none.But while cocoa flavanols in dark chocolate make it a healthful treat, they give it a biter flavor.Producers may process chocol ate to make it more delicious，but doing so can remove some of these beneficial compounds ，said Matt Hartings，an American professor.In spite of this，dark chocolate is still a healthier choice than milk chocolate，which tends to have more sugar.Additionally，cocoa powder contains minerals.So you can enjoy a piece of dark chocolate even after a meal.Just keep the following in mi nd.First, buy chocolate that has at least 60% cocoa.“Generally sp eaking，the higher the percentage，the more flavanols.These higherpercentage chocolates have t he added benefit over the lower percentages and milk and white chocolates because they contain less sugar and less fat，”Hartings said.Second，if possible，choose natural cocoa over Dutch processed cocoa，which is treated with an alkali (碱)．This gives chocolate a mil der flavor but removes healthful flavanols.And finally，to keep weight in check，limit to 30 grams of dark chocolate daily，or about 150 calories，13．Dark chocolate is healthy mainly because of the existenc e of ．A．rich minerals B．less sugarC．cocoa flavanols D．fewer calories14．What can we learn from the text?A．Cocoa flavanols leads to high blood pressure.B．White chocolate is good for health.C．One can feel free to eat dark chocolate.D．Alkali can affect flavanols' content.15．What's the author's purpose in writing the text?A．To show his love for dark chocolate.B．To promote the sales of chocolate.C．To provide facts about dark chocolate.D．To make a distinction among chocolates.第二节：七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) Listening to others requires entering actively and imaginativel y into the situation and trying to understand a frame of referen ce different from your own，and yet so many of us don't listen properly as we should.Liste ning means more than just sitting silently while someone else talks. 16Here are some ways to become a better listener.17 Make sure you actually hear fully what your friend is sayi ng，and you can't cut your friend off verbally carelessly.While you might intend to help move the conversation along your friend might feel as if what he has said needs to be continually talke d over or sounds anything but interesting.Nod to encourage the conversation along.A better option to le t your friend know you're interested in what he says is just to n od along from time to time.Sometimes you nod along but then start thinking about something unrelated to what he could say . 18Turn out background noise.If you're easily distracted by laughter，glasses clinking，children crying，you might need to work extra hard to focus only on your friend . 19 Don't hesitate to tell them that the background noises ar e getting in the way.If you can't focus，try moving to another area.Don't text or look at your phone！ 20 For you see，when you're sitting in front of someone，he is the most important person in your world at that moment. A．Stop the speaker whenever you have a question. B．Practice silence when someone else is talking.C．If necessary，ask your friend to repeat himself. D．Whoever is calling or texting can wait until you're done wit h your conversation.E．It means trying to see the problem the way the speaker se es it.F．In this case，try to push away your thoughts until you're absorbed in what y our friend is saying.G Remembering ideas from previous conversations proves th at your attention is kept and encourages your friend to continu e.第二部分完形填空(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)I was out for my usual morning run and found myself in the lat esummer heat，thirsty.If only I had taken a 21 bottle.After I stopped under a bridge to shelter myself from the sun for a moment of 22 ，I saw two young， 23 men standing next to their sleeping ba gs.One smiled and gently 24 his hand as if he were about to say hello，but he didn't say a word.He wasn't asking for 25 ．I smiled a nd raised my hand，too.As I started back on my 26 ，I thought about how much we all 27 to connect with other pe ople.At that moment，this homeless man seemed to want to connect with someone else 28 he wanted food or money.We have all had 29 of feeling separate and lonely.I once felt lonely being in a relationship that 30 an emotional connectio n.Feeling separated doesn't have anything to do with being al one， 31 is about the human desire to feel 32 by being se en and valued by another person.We all 33 from connection.That homeless man affected my d ay.After meeting him，I felt more grateful and it made me 34 all that I have.He mad e me feel concerned for him.I had the choice to move toward35 or connection.Separation is looking at the homeless perso n and focusing on how 36 he looks.Connection is understan ding that he influenced my day by 37 to me.I can 38 times i n my life when，like him，I was in a situation I had never expected.There have been tim es when I felt down，and times when I needed someone to 39 what he was doing and say hello to me.Pay attention today and notice whether you tend to move tow ard separation or toward connection.If your tendency is to spe nd time alone， 40 saying “yes” to invitations.Practice movin g toward rather than away from people.21．A.wine B．waterC．glass D．metal22．A.peace B．joyC．shade D．breath23．A.handsome B．homelessC．disabled D．tall24．A.took B．droppedC．crossed D．raised25．A.anything B．nothingC．everything D．all26．A.wandering B．walking C．running D．hiking27．A.need B．haveC．try D．seek28．A.other than B．less than C．rather than D．better than 29．A.expectations B．purposes C．experiences D．worries 30．cked B．contained C．enjoyed D．valued31．A.or B．andC．so D．but32．A.amazed B．connected C．amused D．entertained 33．A.benefit B．recover C．suffer D．come34．A.lose B．question C．recognize D．appreciate 35．A.ignorance B．separation C．depression D．desperation36．A.kind B．neatC．unhappy D．unclean37．A.reaching out B．giving inC．turning D．replying38．A.forget about B．keep up withC．reflect on D．return to39．A.continue B．accomplishC．handle D．stop40．A.keep B．practiceC．deny D．imagine第三部分(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

高二英语限时训练六On August 26,1999,New York City was struck by a terrible rainstorm. The rain caused the streets to 36 and the subway system almost came to a stop.Unfortunately, this happened during the morning rush hour. Many people who were going to work were 37 to go home. Some battled to 38 a taxi or to get on a bus. Still others faced the 39 bravely, walking miles to get to work.I 40 to be one of people on the way to work that morning. I went from subway line to subway line only to find that most 41 had stopped. After making my way 42 crowds of people, I finally found a subway line that was 43 .Unfortunately, there were so many people waiting to 44 the subway that I could not even get down the stairs to the 45 .So I took the train going in the opposite direction, and then switched back to the downtown train. Finally, after what seemed like forever, the train 46 my stop. Then I had to walk several blocks in the increasingly heavy rain. When I finally got to my office, I was 47 through, exhausted and 48 .My co-workers and I spent most of the day drying off. When it was 5:00 pm, I was ready to go home. I was about to turn off my computer 49 I received an email from Garth, my Director:I would like to thank all of you who made the effort and 50 reported to work. It is always reassuring (令人欣慰),at times like these, when employees so clearly show their 51 to their jobs.Thank you.Garth’s email was short, but I learned more from that 52 message than I ever did from a textbook. The email taught me that a few words of 53 can make a big difference. The rainstorm and the traffic 54 had made me tired and upset. But Garth’s words immediately 55 me and put a smile back on my face.AAn increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to 〔归因于〕the global economic crisis awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works.Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January, according to UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A. spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up.Professor John Beath, the president of the society and a leading lecture at St Andrews University, said his first-year lectures-which are open to students from all departments—were drawing crowds of 400, rather than the usual 250.“There are a large number of students who are not economics majors, who would like to learn something about it. One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn’t traditionally done. 〞He added.University applications rose 7% last year. But there were rises above average in several subjects. Nursin g saw a 15% jump, with people’s renewed interest in caters in the pubic sector〔部门〕, which are seen as more secure in economic crisis.A. recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters, and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on, although a minority of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain.Zack Hocking, the head of Child Trust Funds, said: “It’s possible that one good t hing to arise from the downturn will be a generation that’s financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty.〞71. Professor John Beath’s lectures are .A. given in a traditional wayB. connected with the present situationC. open to both students and their parentsD. warmly received by economics72. Incomes in the public sector are more attractive because of their .A. greater stabilityB. higher payC. fewer applicationsD. better reputation73. in the opinion of most parents .A. eccentrics should be the focus of school teachingB. more students should be admitted to universitiesC. the teaching of financial matters should be strengthened.D. children should solve financial problems themselves74. According to Hocking, the global economic crisis might make the youngsters .A. wiser in money managementB. have access to better equipmentC. confide about their future careersD. get jobs in Child Trust Funds75. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Universities have received more applications.B. Economics is attracting an increasing numbers studentsC. college students benefit a lot from economic uncertaintyD. par ents are concerned with children’s subject selection.BBusinesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence on consumers’ desire to go green. However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in s even saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company’s environmental reputation was not good enough.Harry Morrison, chief executive〔主管〕of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes：“I understand this situation where survival is very important now. But from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking—we don’t have much time. In addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand.〞Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions〔排放〕. Those that have taken early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good w ork companies are doing. “When companies are granted〔授予〕the standard, they can use a logo〔标识〕in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,〞 Mr. Morrison said.64．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers.B．Companies will soon get information about cutting carbon emissions.C．Firms are making efforts to encourage customers to keep goods at home.D．Firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers’ environmental awareness. 65．The underlined word “inform〞in Paragraph 2 probably means“〞.A．affect B．change C．disturb D．reject66．According to Harry Morrison, businesses .A．will benefit from cutting carbon emissionsB．should buy carbon allowances for shoppersC．are required to make up for their carbon emissionsD．have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere67 ．We can learn from the passage that businesses will .A．have a strong desire to reduce costsB．use the same logo in their marketingC．gain advantages by taking early actionD．attract more shoppers by storing goodsCIt was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.My father realised it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I’m so glad I did.On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all， it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps(脊背) in the distance.On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn’t believe it ——there aren’t any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.The little baby whale——actually as big as our body——was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡) and waves.〞She’s trying to help he r baby, but on the wrong side,〞 my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and ,heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whalesand tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe——and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half.

We can only try to imagine it.At first we think about human relationship. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day; we will be making new friends through the Internet — even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand, our relationships with people won't be as important as they are today — we will feel a little lonely.Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us.Spending holidays will also be completely different. Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much environmentally friendly.We could expect that the faster economic development would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn't true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. Scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as health will be in better condition.Although we cannot predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children's future; we have expectation, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen.1．The underlined word “sanguine” in the last paragraph most probably means “________”．A．disappointed B．surprisedC．curious D．optimistic2．According to the passage, which of the following will happen in 2050?A. It will not be difficult for people to travel to other plants.B．Our environment will be much polluted with a growing number of cars.C．The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.D．The relationship between people will be more important than today.3．The third paragraph mainly tells ________.A. that computers will do all the things for human beingsB．how people will use robots to do houseworkC．that machines like computers and robots will help people a lotD．how people will use computers to communicate with each other4．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．What high technology will appear in the year 2050.B．What our life will be like in the year 2050.C．How people will communicate in the year 2050.D．How people will travel and spend their holidays in the year 2050.B【c】Five years ago，when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said：“Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today—and45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do.Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “But I'm just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when you're asleep？”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.”The student wo uld tell something wildlyimaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads.“That's pretty creative. Who does that for you？”“Nobody. I do it.”“Really—at night，when you're asleep？”“Sure.”“Try doing it in the daytime，in class，okay？”5．The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________.A．know more about the studentsB．make the lessons more excitingC．raise the students' interest in artD．teach the students about toy design6．What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?A．He liked to help his teacher.B．He preferred to study alone.C．He was active in class.D．He was imaginative.7．What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Mistake. B．Drawback.C．Difficulty. D．Burden.8．Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?A．To help them to see their creativity.B．To find out about their sleeping habits.C．To help them to improve their memory.D．To find out about their ways of thinking.IV．阅读理解【a】A famous Irish saying sums up the importance of a good sleep，“A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book.” Enough sleep plays an important role in keeping a healthy lifestyle. When you wake up after a good night's sleep, you feel not only fresh, but also enthusiastic, happy, and energetic. __9__ For example：·Avoid phones or computers in bed. Watching late-night TV, reading on a phone, late-night chatting and surfing not only reduce your sleeping hours but also ruin your health.__10_ The lightprevents the release of a hormone(激素) called melatonin, which is released in the dark and signals to our body that it's time to sleep.·Don't go to bed angry. Arguments make you angry. __11__ So don't argue with someone else before going to bed. Instead, you should be calm before going to bed to get a good sleep.·__12__ Eating a heavy meal before going to bed can be bad for the digestive system. Eating high calorie foods before bed can also lead to weight gain. Eating processed or highly salty foods can make you thirsty, leading to excessive consumption of water, which has an ill effect too. So remember to eat a light meal at night.·Avoid drinking. It is true that alcohol makes you sleepy, but that is only for the first half.__13__ You may experience frequent awakenings, nightmares, headaches, sweats, and many more after-effects.A．Don't eat before going to bed.B．It actually disturbs the sleep later.C．Don't do much exercise before sleeping.D．Mobiles, computers and TVs throw a blue and white light.E．So, try to avoid some unhealthy activities before sleeping at night.F．It's advised to read a boring novel or a topic of less interest at night.G．They will disturb you mentally and keep you awake for a long time.V.语法填空【c】The way we cook is important.

I am getting so clumsy in my old age.”Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stori es of our most embarrassing moments. It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others.Frank began,“My Dad was a fisherman. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family. Not j ust enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Dad and t he other kids that were still at home.”Frank's voice dropped a bit. “When the weather was bad he w ould drive me to school. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watchi ng. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the ch eek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me good-bye!”He paused and then went on, “I remember the day I thought I was too old for a good-bye kiss. When we got to the school, he had his usual big smil e. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and sai d, ‘No,Dad.’ It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face. I said, ‘Dad, I' m too old for a good-bye kiss. I'm too old for any kind of kiss.’ My Dad looked at m e for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear. I had neve r seen him cry. He turned. ‘You're right,’ he said. ‘You are a bi g boy ... a man. I won't kiss you anymore.’”For the moment, the tears began to well up in Frank's eyes. “It wasn't long after that when my Dad went to sea and never ca me back.”I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his c heeks.

Lux ury consumption in China now extends ways beyond well-known car, clothing and jewelry brands. For example, the luxu ry jet market in China is the fastest-growing in the world, even outstripping that of the United Stat es, with a market share of 25 percent. This trend appears to c ontinue, with 20 to 30 percent growth expected in China, com pared with only 2 to 3 percent in the US. But more importantly , China's luxury jet market growth represents a major development in the private consumption of luxury items.China's high-quality red wine market also provides evidence of the growth i n private consumption of luxury goods. In 2013, China becam e the largest market for red wine in the world, even overtaking France, with 1.86 billion bottles consumed in China last year. Over the past five years, China's red wine consumption has gr own 136 percent.According to my ongoing consumer research in this area whil e working at the University of International Business and Econ omics in Beijing, public consumption of such expensive global luxury brands such as Prada and Armani is easily explained by the desire to “gain face” and publicly display social climbin g through material possessions. On the other hand, it is “self －reward” that lies behind consumer motivation in this area. Chi nese consumers who have experienced rapid financial and ec onomic gains appear to be in particular need of rewarding the mselves for their success. But this has little to do with “gaining face” and impressing others and much more to do with the ne ed for personal satisfaction.Finally, the growth in private luxury consumption in China is s et to continue in part due to the maturity of the Chinese consumer and advancement of Chinese consumer culture generally .What do you think the author would most probably be?A. A news reporter.B. A salesman.C. A professor.D. A conductor.8. The underlined word “outstripping” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”．A. falling far behind ofB. going out ofC. going far ahead ofD.keeping pace with9 . What can be the best title for the passage?A. Future Private Luxury Consumption in ChinaB. Chinese Appetite for Luxury Goods and ServicesC. The Potential Luxury Jet Market in ChinaD. The Maturity of the Chinese ConsumersDDoes stress cause gray hair? Many people believe that tensio n and stress can cause your hair to lose its color. In fact, it is an old-wives’ tale that being upset all the time can result in prematur e graying. Here is a closer look at this situation and why some believe that this old wives’ tale could be true.As one ages, the hairs on the head also age. In fact, just abou t everything on the human body begins to show signs of wear and tear (磨损) after a while. The joints wear and become stiff and skin w ears and becomes wrinkled. Hairs on the head grow and even tually die. They are replaced, but in the process something els e happens.When new hairs are replacing the old ones, the color or pigm ent (色素) is also added to them. However, as one ages, this pigmen t becomes less and less available. At first, hairs will have a li mited amount of pigment and they will appear to be grayish in color. In time, they will lose all of their pigment and will be whi te. Many things are known to cause graying, and genetics is a very powerful factor. If one of your parents turns gray at an e arly age, there is a good chance that you will too. Some peopl e begin the graying process in high school, while others may be over the age of forty.Constant worry and tension can have many harmful effects on the human body. It is a known fact that stressful times can ca use one to suffer hair loss. It would make sense that if it can c ause these problems, perhaps it also may contribute to grayin g. However, there is no sound evidence to support this.On the other hand, many medical professionals believe that th ere may be a link between graying and a constant state of an xiety or tension. Does stress cause gray hair? There is no sci entific evidence to support the theory, but it is best to avoid str essful situations.The underlined phrase in the first paragraph most probably m eans________.A. clever remarksB. silly remarksC.exciting remarksD. disappointed remarks11.The second paragraph mainly tells us __________.A. every part of body is replaced with ageB. hairs will grow weak but not dieC. skin becomes wrinkled with ageD. every part of body ages with age12. What might play the most important role in the graying pro cess?A. Genetics and the amount of sleeping time.B. The amount of food people eat and living environment.C. The amount of pigment and genetics.D. Genetics and the amount of water people drinkEThe Taj Mahal , in Agra, India, is one of the most brilliant structures on Earth. It is nearly 400 years old. Emperor Shah Jaha n had it built in memory of his wife. It took about 20 years to b uild the monument. Some 20,000 workers and 1,000 elephant s helped the job done. Today, the Taj Mahal is not just a sym bol of cultural history. It’s also India’s most famous tourist attr action. About 8 million people visit it each year.But pollution is turning the white marble monument shades of green, yellow, and brown. The Taj Mahal stands on the pollut ed Yamuna River. Insects are attracted to the dirty water. The y leave greenish droppings on the building. Air pollution is als o a big threat. Factories and cars release pollution into the air. It sticks to the Taj Mahal’s surface. In the 1990s, India’s Supr eme Court ordered hundreds of factories near the monument to close. Also, car and bus traffic was restricted. From tim e to time, workers clean the Taj Mahal. But doing so is difficult , expensive, and time-consuming. And it doesn’t prevent the discoration.On July 11, I ndia’s Supreme Court gave the city of Agra a war ning. “Either you destroy the Taj Mahal or you restore it”. Auth orities in the city submitted a draft of an action plan on July 24 . It suggests banning plastics and construction from the area. It also calls for the closing of more factories.“In order to preserve The Taj Mahal, people must come together to work toward a solution. There needs to be positive pres sure on people to act. We need to act immediately,” Sachchid a Tripathi says. He worked on a 2014 study of pollution at the Taj Mahal. “We are trying,” he adds, “but we need to try more.”Why did Emperor Shah Jahan build The Taj Mahal?A.To attract touristsB.To honour his wife.C.To represent India.D.To mark his greatness14. What can we infer about the Taj Mahal from the second p aragraph?A. It is getting dirty.B. It is under repairC. It attracts insects.D. It is losing tourists.15. What should people do to save the Taj Mahal accorging to Sachchida Tripathi ?A. Close factories. B .Become united.C. Make a new plan.D.

On the first day I didn't realize there was aright way to wear a school hat. In fact，on that first day I did a lot of things wrong—like being theonly person in the school who had a tongue ring.

Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college an the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her.

A★★☆☆☆Marc Yu, a nine-year-old boy from California, has achieved more than most musicians do in their whole life. He has learned two musical instruments, played the piano at the most famous US concerts and won a couple of musical scholarships (奖学金).Marc was an unusual child even as a baby. At just six months of age, he would sit through a two-hour classical music concert. By the time he was two, he started to read and sing Beethoven symphonies. While his mother thought this was unusual, she did not realize his musical gifts until he was at a friend’s party and started to play a nursery rhyme on the piano.With lessons from his mom and then a professional teacher, Marc’s skills improved a lot.

He is always traveling, either to perform at concerts or for piano lessons.On August 31st, Marc will perform at the Royal Albert Hall in London, England, one of the world’s most famous concert halls. He will be playing the piano alongside Lang Lang, a classical pianist, who has performed at the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Games.While Marc, who is home-schooled, likes his music very much and practices between 5-6 hours a day, he is by no means a bookworm.

Celebrated yearly on the first Sunday of May, the fun event was started by an Indian doctor, Dr. Madan Kataria.His quest to make the world a happier place began in 1995, with the introduction of Laughter Yoga, a fitness class where yogis traded in the Downward-Facing Dog, for a combination of breathing exercises and uncontrolled laughter.Though the first class was attended by only 5 students, word of this fun way of exercising soon began to spread and in a short time, laughter yoga classes began to be held all over the world. Today, there are over 6,000 clubs that offer this class in countries ranging from Australia to Kenya in East Africa.Members get together every day or at least twice a week, to‘exercise’ by simply laughing out loud, waving their hands and making funny faces at each other.Besides bringing joy, the doctor also believes that the combination of laughter and breathing helps stretch (舒展) muscles (肌肉) and make us happy —This in turn, helps reduce stress, which is the cause of many diseases.In 1998, in an attempt to spread the cheer to non-yogis, the doctor declared the first Sunday of every May, World Laughter Day. Not surprisingly, it became an instant hit. To make the event even more fun, Dr. Kataria suggested organizing the celebrations in public places sothat other people could join in — Something that many cities all over the world are now doing. Some, even award prizes to people with the best laugh — Someone who can laugh in a natural way, for no reason.So what are you waiting for? Start practicing today and see if you can spend Sunday with laughter!8.

The main purpose of the text is to _____.A. informB. discussC. educateD. entertainD★★★☆☆“I wish that in one instant I could tell you of my safe arrival, but we are 3,000 miles apart and must wait four long weeks to hear from each other.” Samuel Morse was 20 when he wrote this sentence in a l etter to his mother in 1811. He was in London studying art. She was at the home in Charlestown, Massachusetts, USA, where he had been born. Perhaps it was at the moment of writing the letter that young Morse first had the wish to bridge space with flying words. This wish was later to give the world the electric telegraph (电报).He returned in 1815 to work on history painting much admired in Europe. Morse completed an oil painting The House of Representatives, expectingthat this would bring him fame (名声). But there was hardly any demand in the United States for history painting, and he unwillingly started to support himself by painting portraits (肖像画). He was often close to poverty during his career as an artist.During a voyage from Europe to America in 1832, Morse met Thomas Jackson, a scientist who had recently attended lectures on electricity in Paris. Conversations with Jackson made the artist believe that an electrical current could be used for communication. During the rest of the voyage he worked excitedly on drawings for his plan. After his arrival home, he abandoned his artistic career to give his full attention to the project.Morse had an inventive mind but little knowledge of electricity. He did years of work and study to perfect his invention. In 1837 he applied for a patent (专利) on the American Electromagnetic Telegraph. He went to England, France, and Russia asking for aid for his invention but met with failure there as at home. People admired his courage in the face of poverty and disappointment. Finally in 1843 the United States Congress provided Morse with $30,000 to build a line from Washington to Baltimore.In May 1844 the first message was flashed over this wire. Newspapers, railroads, and businesses quickly found use for the telegraph, which for the first time created a global community. 12. According to Paragraph 1, Morse probably thought ______.A. communication by letter was not convenientB. it was amazing to communicate by telegraphC. life in London was not as happy as he expectedD. he should return to America to care for his mother13. After returning from Europe in 1815, Morse ______.A. became famous thanks to his The House of RepresentativesB. found Americans had little interest in history paintingC. got very curious about painting portraits for othersD. led an easy and peaceful life on the whole14. The third paragraph is about how Morse ______.A. painted the first telegraphB. got the idea for his inventionC. became an expert on electricityD. learned from a scientist from Paris15. What is the best title of the text?A. Samuel Morse: From home to worldB. Samuel Morse: From poverty to fameC. Samuel Morse: From artist to inventorD.

In the third week， progress was blocked at 1,775 meters by a sump - a cave passage filled with water that gives cavers few options. There are basically three techniques available： dive through it， empty it, or go around it。

Gennadiy Samokhin dove to the bottom but was disappointed. “No chance to get through，”he said. Searching for a way around the sump, Garcia Dils risked entering a waterfall of near freezing water and discovered that his dry suit had holes in it。

I remember an attractive girl trying to talk with me. My shyness made me focus on me instead of her. I heard my own voice but not hers and I thought about what I was trying to say instead of what she was trying to say.To overcome shyness you need to learn to relax. This gives you the space to practice certain conversational skills. To start reducing your own shyness, I want you to absorb the following tips and ideas and start to put them into practice.Focus your attention away from yourself. Notice what other people are wearing and make a mental note, listen to their conversation, imagine where they might live, and make a point of remembering names. Not only does this give you more to talk about, it also reduces social anxiety, leaving you feeling calmer.Ask people open questions. Many people like to talk about themselves and will find you interesting if you find them interesting. Ask questions that require more thana “yes”or “no”response such as“What do you like about this place?’rather than “Do you like this place?”Once they have answered, you can use add-on (追加) questions connected with the first such as “What other places do you like in this city?”Next you can express your views. This is a great way to get the conversation going.Now I love meeting new people and suspect that my current social confidence would be unrecognizable to my fifteen-year-old self.21.
