Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away, and they mustn't let dirty smoke go into the air.We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and do not throw them on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car.

He was born on January 12, 1876, in San Francisco, California. His family was very poor, and Jack had to leave school to make money. He worked hard in many different jobs.Later, Jack returned to school, but he didn't stay. He wrote，“Life and the pocketbook (袖珍书)were both too short. ”In 1897, he went to Alaska to find gold. Instead, he found ideas there for his books and stories. He returned home and started to write.

Such electronic products make the brain more active，and then influence their sleep. But according to a latest survey，more than 90% of the Americans regularly use a computer or some other kinds of electronic products in the hour before bed.Researchers find that man­made light from some electronic products at night may reduce the brain chemicals(化学物质) that help sleep.In the study, the researchers let volunteers read，play games and watch movies on a screen for different time while measuring(测量) how much light their eyes received. They found that two hours of sitting before a bright screen at night reduced the sleep chemical levels by about 22%. Studies of students using computers at night have got the similar results. And researchers say that may not only cause sleeplessness，but also raise the risk of obesity(肥胖症)，diabetes(糖尿病) and other diseases.To be on the safe side，the researchers advise us to use computers less before bed，or at the very least turn down our screen as much as possible.59.

Though I have had some trouble with the language，I have never had a problem I couldn't solve. As a native English speaker，I can go almost everywhere in the world and find someone to communicate with. I never thought that someone who speaks only Chinese would have a lot of trouble in my country.Recently，the King family moved to Canada. My wife and I made meals for them and showed them around where we live. Everything seemed to go smoothly for the first two days as we looked for a car for them and showed them the way to different stores and the nearest city，Victoria. Mr and Mrs King had a two­year­old son and soon we became Nainai and Y eye. We were having a good time but we didn't realize Mr King couldn't speak English.Luckily，Mrs King can speak very good English. Many people with a Chinese background live near us. In fact，none of them speak Chinese. Mr King can't even buy a mobile phone without his wife's help. He can't talk to me，of course. By the third day，he felt lonely and worried. And on the fourth day，we decided to take them to a large Chinese community.Now，we often visit them and they visit us too. Sometimes Mrs King would still like to live near us but Mr King cannot. Maybe we will never have a friendly conversation. But we will think of each other as friends.69.

But a landmark means the most famous of it.The Elizabeth Tower, commonly known as Big Ben, has seen the history of the city of London, theUK. The tower was set up in 1858. The clock weighs 13.5 tons. It's the biggest clock in Britain. The sound of Big Ben is part of London people’s lives. For over a hundred years, people hav e listened to its sound. They think of it as an old friend.The Sydney Opera House is the symbol of Sydney and Australia. Its sail shape attracts visitorsaround the world. But few people know it has an interesting story. Its designer Utzon got the idea by peeling an orange. It took 14 years to build it, and was finished in 1973.When you see this pencil-shaped bui lding, you’ll k now you are in New York The Empire StateBuilding has 102 floors, which is about 443 metres tall. It took only 410 days to build it, and was completed in 1931. The building shows the ambition of humans to build a tower that could reach for the sky.The Eiffel Tower in Paris stands for French people's creativity and imagination. It was built in1889. At that time the tower was thought to be a monster, because it was quite different from the traditional buildings with dome tops. But later it turned out to be a miracle of metal architecture.

The text mainly introduces some _________ around the world.A. great culturesB. interesting citiesC. strange traditionsD. famous landmarksCA Christmas Carol was written by Charles Dickens. The first 6, 000 copies of thebook were sold out in a week. And the book has inspired many plays and movies. Thefirst play was put on in 1844. The first two movies were silent films made in 1901 and1908. Since then, the story has been remade more than 60 times for television and cinema. What makes such a tale so attractive? Audiences have always loved a good plot, a villain (反面人物) who harms other people or breaks the law, and the ending of right over wrong. The book offers all three.The book tells the story of a man named Scrooge. He is mean and cruel to his clerk and turns awayhis only living relative. One night, Scrooge is visited by three spirits. The first spirit shows scenes from Scrooge's youth that led to this present state. The second spirit takes him to the homes of his clerk and his nephew. Here Scrooge sees that people can be happy without lots of money. The spirit also shows him the hopeless poor people of London. The third spirit shows Scrooge will die alone, and no one will care if he continues to live as he has. At last the message is understood, and Scrooge repents. He becomes generous and caring to all around him, especially tohis clerk's sick son, Tiny Tim.Every year, thousands of people watch A Christmas Carol. Why? They may be touched byits lessons on the true meanings of wealth and happiness. They may enjoy the special effects and feelings or watching every year may be just a habit. Viewers never seem to grow tired of the old miser, Scrooge, and his dramatic message of hope and change.()27.

One night Scrooge is visited by three spirits.C. People are tired of the old miser, Scrooge.D. Christmas is a time to forgive and to be generous.DBody image(形象) --- the way people feel about their looks---is a big problem for many youngpeople today. According to a study, more than half the teenage girls in the USA think they should be on a diet(节食)and almost one in five teenage boys are worried about their bodies and weight(体重).What's the cause? In the study, many blame(责备) the media. Turn on the TV and you’ll probablysee beautiful girls, handsome boys and fit sports stars. Open a magazine or a newspaper, look through the Internet, and it's usually the same.Many young people feel pressure(压力) to look like these "perfect" people. But for most people,this is just not possible. In the USA, the average(平均的) woman is 163 cm tall and weighs 64 kilos, but the average model(模特) is 180 cm tall and weighs 53 kilos.When people don't look the way many famous people look. they may become unconfident. Somestop eating properly to lose weight. Students can lose so much confidence that they start to stop taking part in classroom activities at school.Body image problems don't disappear as we get older either. In the UK, for example, women over50 spend more money on cosmetics(化妆品) than any other age group; older men spend a lot of money trying to avoid hair loss(损失).Can we solve the problem? A 2016 study in the UK suggested that body image lessons should beprovided in schools. Others believe it's a problem that all of society(社会) needs to deal with. As Meaghan Ramsey says, "We need to judge(评判) people by what they do, not what they look like. "()30. What does the underlined word "media" mean in Chinese?A.媒体B.舆论C.时尚D.潮流()31.

At school many students played jokes on him 33 he looked different from everyone else.Other students didn't want to make friends with him, so he always felt 34 . However, he faced that bravely.

People say these drinks can make people feel more energetic（精力充沛的）and think more clearly. These drinks have names like Red Bull, Monster, Ripped Force, Speed Force, Speed Stack and 5-Hour Energy. Young people like them very much.Scientists found three main things about the energy drinks. First, there are hundreds of brands(品牌)of energy drinks in most large countries. Second, the drinks are not clearly written with enough information. And third, the caffeine(咖啡因)in the energy drinks is different greatly. Some have as little as fifty milligrams, others as much as five hundred. Too much caffeine is bad for our body.Some people put wine into energy drinks while drinking. They think they can drink more wine in that way and it is not bad for their body. But studies find that the wine still works. So the makers should write down clear information, such as how much caffeine it has and so on. For example, some makers of energy drinks give us advice. A popular energy drink asks women who are having a baby, nursing a baby or children under the age of 12 not to drink.The study about energy drinks is still going on. They are now looking for the young people who have had a bad feeling after drinking them.41.The three things about the energy drinks are the following EXCEPT .A. hundreds of brandsB. without enough informationC. different caffeineD. something bad for the body42.Some people like drinking wine with energy drinks because they think .A. that is coolB. they can drink moreC. it is the most popular wayD. that will have less caffeine43.Which of the following is TRUE?A. Women who are having a baby can drink all kinds of energy drinks.B. Energy drinks are bad only for old people.C. Children under the age of 12 should drink a lot of energy drinks.D. Young people like energy drinks very much.BA grown-up person has ten or eleven pints(品脱) of blood inside his or her body. We can lose a pint of blood without feeling anything. But if we lose a great deal of blood, we feel weak and cold. Our faces become very white. We may die.This is what often happens when somebody is hurt in an accident or a soldier is hurt in a fighting. Many people used to die in this way. If they are given enough blood at once, they'll feel better. Their faces will become red again. They won't die.Where does this blood come from? People who are healthy give some blood so that it can be used in this way. Every three months they can go to a place where blood is collected. A special kind of needle is put into the arm. It does not hurt. The blood runs through the needle and through a rubber tube(管)into a bottle. A pint of blood is taken away. Then the person who has given the blood drinks a cup of tea or coffee. He sits for a few minutes. Then he feels quite well and goes off. Three months later he comes back and gives another pint.A person who gives blood in this way feels happy. He knows that his blood will be used to save someone's life. Perhaps one day he himself will need blood.When you are older, you may decide to give blood in this way. But you can't dothis until you are eighteen.44.A person who has given blood sits a few minutes because he or she .A. is so happyB. needs a short restC. feels a little sorryD. has to drink something45.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. A person who gives blood can make some money.B. Many people died in the past because no blood could be sent into bodies in time.C. A person gives blood because he or she will need it in the future.D. One will feel very cold and weak if he or she gives a pint of blood every 3 weeks.46. In this text the writer mainly tells readers .A. grown-up person has about 10 pints of bloodB. blood is very useful for everybodyC. giving blood is a good way to save one's lifeD. blood is taking out and kept in a bottleCA change to its population policy(人口政策）for the world's most populated country(人口最多的国家), that is where we start this new week on CNN (美国有线新闻网络，以提供即时电视新闻报导而闻名)STUDENT NEWS.China introduced(提出）its so-called one-child policy(独生子女政策）in the late 1970s. It's been believed to help control China's population growth(控制人口增长). It's also been against for forcing(强迫) parents to make difficult personalchoices(选择）, or in some cases（某些情况）face huge fines（面临巨额罚款).The policy said that in big cities or towns, parents could only have one child, although（尽管) there were some exceptions(例外), for example, the famous director Zhang Yimou, who was ordered to pay the heavy fines for his three children.The new rule(法规) says that if either parent(父母亲一方) is an only child, then they are able to have two children of their own.One reason for the change is economics(经济).In China, many people care for their elderly relatives, so a single(单个的) child could not afford (能做)to look after his parents and grandparents. This new policy could help with that.Another reason, China says it wants to improve human rights(改善人权).( )47Which may be the best title of the article?___________.A. The one-child policyB. The population policyC. The human rightsD. China's population growth( )48.Where can you get this news _______.A. on TVB. from your booksC. from a magazineD. in the newspaper( )49.Which of the following is not true?A.

There is a change to China’s population policy.( )50.We can infer(推断）from the article that the next paragraph（段落) is about .A. the population growthB. the population policyC. the economic changeD. the human rights五、阅读表达（共5题；满分5分）（每空一词）As people become richer and richer (富有), the prices of new cars are falling down quickly. The government has built many new roads. Many Chinese people think it is enjoyable to have their own cars instead of bikes. The large number of cars has started a new cultural revolution (革命), changing the life and society just like what happened in America 50 years ago.In Shanghai, more and more cars have appeared (出现) on the roads since 2002. At rush hour, it can take more than an hour for a taxi to ride from one side of Huangpu River Bridge to the other side. As the government has done a lot to make the traffic condition better, the number of cars on the roads is rising all the time.Private (私人的) cars have brought about a new class of society, who drive to their offices from large, modern houses in the suburbs (郊区). “I enjoy the drive,” said a big company manager of the 30-minute-trip to his office in the center of Shanghai. “I know that driving cars costs more money than travelling by bus,” he said. “But this way, I feel more comfortable and it is much faster.”六．单词拼写（共5 小题：3小题1分，满分5分）A）根据句意，用所给单词的适当形式填空。
