Keira was excited because she was of West African descent. Her great-grandmother had come to the United States from Senegal, a country in West Africa. Until now, Keira hadn’t thought much about her roots(根源).Early the next morning, Keira looked everywhere for something to show her West African roots. She dug through every drawer, but she couldn’t find anything that really stood out. Finally, she put on a white shirt and jeans. Although she wore ordinary clothes, she hoped that her interest in her West African roots would not go unnoticed.At the community center, Keira was lucky enough to get a front-row seat. The first speaker talked about African writers and how they often use traditional stories with traditional characters, such as the Tortoise and the Spider. The speaker mentioned writers her mot her and grandmother liked! Also, Tortoise was a favorite character in Keira’s bedtime stories. Finally, the speaker mentioned Doudou N’Diaye Rose. He was Keira’s favorite drummer. He was from Senegal. She began to realise just how much her West African roots influenced her American life.Finally, the storyteller came up. He told a story that explained how the chameleon, a small lizard(蜥蜴), changed its colors. Then he introduced the Spider and Tortoise. It was known that they appeared to be generous but in fact they wanted to keep everything for themselves. Some of the stories made these characters seem poor as they fought for every last piece. However, they were simply naughty(调皮的). They certainly did learn their lessons!Keira couldn’t keep her mind from thinking about all the different stories her mother had told. Her memory was pouring out again! She knew about everything the storyteller said.After the presentation, the class talked to the storyteller. Keira told about how her great-grandmother had moved to the United States from Senegal. Her great-grandmother left her village because of afamine, a time of hunger. She had explained to Keira’s grandmother that the villagers spent days begging for food. Her great-grandmother finally came to the United States.

His wife says her husband has always been handy at home and made tables and chairs. Alfredo has invented a way of lighting his house during the day without electricity.He has been using plastic bottles filled up with water and a little bleach(漂白剂) to provide dark rooms with light for many years. And the idea has now spread across the world. It is predicted that his lighting system, which works using refraction(折射) of the sunlight, will be fitted in over a million homes by the end of this year.Alfredo used normal plastic drinks bottles that are often thrown away. The secret of the water in the bottles is the bleach added to water, which stops it turning green in the sunlight. Mr. Moser drills a hole in a roof tile and then pushes the bottle in from below, keeping the bottle in place with polyester resin (聚酯树脂). Depending on the strength of sunlight, the light fills his home, and the bottles are just like electric bulbs of between 40 and 60 watts.Alfredo came up with the idea for his “Moser light’’ during one of the blackouts in Brazil in 2002. He said only factories had power in his home city, in southern Brazil during the energy shortage.The local supermarket and his neighbors’ houses are using Moser lights. He earned a few dollars, but his invention has not made him a rich man.

The 13-year-old saw that the desks were no longer in rows(排), but pushed together to make six bigger desks.The new arrangement(排列) was part of a reform(改革) at Fan's school, Changsha Daotian Middle School in Hunan. About five weeks ago, more than 2,000 junior students at the school began studying in this way, with six to eight students sitting in groups."This reform is designed to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances for discussion,"said Liu Xu,na school head teacher. "Our school hopes it can improve students' abilities(能力) for self-study as well as teamwork."The new arrangement took some time for students to get used to."I was too curious(好奇) about it for the first two days," said Fan. But soon she and her classmates got used to it." Now our class is quieter because we can stop loud students with some simple gestures(手势),"said Fan. "What's more,we can express our own ideas and learn others' through discussion. It's a better way to study."Feng Yu likes this new classroom arrangement very much and has made some progress studying. The 14-year-old said, "Group members first discuss,and then explain the solutions or answers to difficult questions in front of the whole class.""The discussion gives us more confidence to make speeches,"said Feng."We can also improve our friendships."The reform has asked for more from teachers.They have no more than 15 minutes to teach in class."It is a big challenge to teach in such short time the lessons which should be taught in 45 minutes,"English teacher Wang Jing said."We have to improve methods to teach better. We must prepare some interesting topics and exercises before class so that students can discuss them."Wang said that some students always talk. The teachers have to move continuously in the classroom to keep them quiet and get them to concentrate on class."It demands more, but I believe it will pay off,"Wang added.1．From the first paragraph of the passage, we know________.A．Fan Xing was a 13-year-old studentB．Fan Xing's classroom was changed in rowsC．Fan Xing's desk was no longer in her classroom2．The purpose of the new classroom arrangement is to________.A．make the students feel fresh and interestedB．provide students with more chances for teamworkC．divide big classes into small classes3．How did the new classroom arrangement help the students' study according to the passage?A．By stopping loud students using simple gestures.B．By giving students more chances to work in groups.C．By making students explain difficult questions after school.4．What is the big challenge for the teachers in classroom teaching in the reform?A．The teachers have to improve their studying methods.B．The teachers must prepare more interesting topics for exercises.C．The teachers are only given 15 minutes to teach in one period(节) of the class.5．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．The students in Changsha Daotian Middle School are sitting in groups when having classes.B．The reform in the school is aimed at improving the students' abilities for self-study.C．Studying in groups gives the students more confidence to concentrate on class.B14、Students in western Ohio(俄亥俄州) have to say “bye-bye” to snow days. Snow may fall, but students won’t be able to spend the days sledding(滑雪橇). Classes will continue online. Officials say that holding electronic workdays(e-days) will help students keep up with their studies. It will also prevent requiring students to make up schooldays later in June.Which would you prefer: spending a cold day on a computer, or sitting in school in June when you should be on vacation? Jordan Dewar, a student reporter, holds the opinion that having online work on a snow day is the better choice. “You would be working on a day that you already planned on having schoolwork.”“Havi ng extra days of school in summer can interfere with(妨碍) families’ vacation plans. Besides, what if your school does not have air-conditioning? Imagine sweating through seven hours at school on a hot June day when you could have been relaxing by a pool wit h your family. Doesn’t an e-day sound better than that?” Jordan Dewar said.For some students, it would be easier to concentrate(专注) on e-days than on makeup days. “You can do a little workonline, go play, and then come back later,” says Rachel Meyers, 12. “But on June days you would just have to sit there for seven hours, thinking about how you could be outside, so you lose focus.”There are some students arguing that it’s not fair to ditch snow days, however. They say that snow days give them a much-needed break. They also note that missing a day here and there is not enough to put them behind. Most students in Silver Valley School think one problem of e-days is that sometimes siblings(兄弟姐妹们) have to share computers at home. In addition, it punishes the students who don’t have computers at home. When school starts again after e-days, these students will be left behind and have to work double-time to catch up with others.“School budget cuts(预算削减) across the country are expected to continue into the 2017-2018 school year.” the American Association of School Administrators(AASA) Web site states. “The school wouldn’t be able to afford both online classes and taking care of the school,” Austin Krewson, an eighth grader, says.Moreover, electricity is likely to be cut off during snowstorms. If kids don’t have power at home, the money and the time in running the new program would be wasted.1．What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A．Officials suggest students should have more schooldays in June.B．Officials believe snow days put students behind in their studies.C．Students have to end snow days earlier than planned.D．Students won’t have sleddin g classes at school.2．The student reporter, Jordan Dewar, believes that _____.A．siblings can help each other with their studies on e-daysB．students can learn better on e-days than on makeup daysC．having e-days in winter will save the cost of air-conditioningD．students should study online when it snows heavily on weekdays3．What does the word “ditch” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A．give up B．put off C．carry out D．pay for4．The writer mentions the statements on the AASA Web site to _____.A．explain the reason to hold the e-day programB．show the difficulty of running the e-day programC．suggest government should spend more money on educationD．stress why some students can’t afford computers for online classesC15、No Car Day was first started by 34 cities in France on September 22, 1998.

Today, fireworks are becoming increasingly eye-catchingand able to create different shapes and add more fun to festivals and big eventslike the Olympics.People from all over the world like using Chinese fireworks to make the night sky colorful. Most of them are produced in Hunan and Jiangxi provinces. With a long history in China, firework production used to be one of the most dangerous industries, but the use of modern machines and technologies has made it safer and greener.In Liuyang, Hunan, modern machines now work in all of its firework factories. With them, there are fewer factory accidents. They also require much fewer workers and less space than before.The Liuyang government has used an intelligent system at firework factories to help find out risks before an accident happens. In Dayao, a town in Liuyang, every firework factory has intelligent cameras. For safe production, only one worker can get into some areas in the factories, and there will be warning messages if more than one person appears in those areas. A similar system is also used in the firework factories in Wanzai, Jiangxi. It has helped discover a lot of safety problems.▲The city of Liuyang has set up research centers and worked with universities across the country to make fireworks environmentally friendly, such as improving the quality of the fireworks to produce less smoke.As the birthplace of fireworks, Liuyang makes efforts to bring safer and cleaner Chinese fireworks to the whole world.24.

As the museumcraze has grown strong in the past few years, teenagers in China have becomemore interested in the exploring museums, where they can lose themselves inmodern technology as well as culture from the past. According to EducatorMagazine, visits by teenagers to museums each year increased from 220 millionto 290 million between 2017 and 2023. Among the increasing numbers of museum visitors, many of them were accompanied(陪伴) by their families.To draw younger visitors, many museums are creating more activities and products for the purpose of spreading Chinese culture, including artifact(手工艺品) making, night visits, secret adventures, treasure repair, and some interesting courses. At the China Hangzhou Arts & Crafts Museum, for example, teenagers gathered around to make paper umbrellas during the Spring Festival holiday. With white gloves on and little tools in their hands, visitors in Henan Museum got to experience the daily work of archaeologists(考古学家), who often spend the whole day examining the remains of buildings and objects found in the ground.Apart from these teenager-favorite activities, some museums are riding the wave(浪) of going digital. A hall called Popular Agricultural Science for Young Visitors uses both visual and audio(视听) technology to help teenagers to join in agriculture(农业). Besides this offline form, the Palace Museum has also created its website for teenagers. Here, online visitors may go on an unusual adventure at the museum in the style of a comic(漫画) book.For Huang Le, a local museum is her go-to spot whenever she travels to a new city.

On the top of the mountains, we enjoyed cool wind 1 quietly near our ears. And we watched white clouds walking freely in the sky, clear streams running happily in the valley(山谷), and 2 insects flying gladly in the air.We were happy to 3 wild flowers and fruits, and caught beautiful butterflies in the valley. I lay on the grass to watch the 4 sky and enjoyed the peace of the valley. Suddenly a tiny insect flew into my left ear. It made somany noises that I feel 5 . So I covered my ears to stop the air from entering my ear. My friends helped me to find some 6 to get the insect out, but failed.＂The insect must 7 in the valley.

Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic (基础的) that other people just thought they were foolish?Sometimes, people think they already know the answer to a question or a problem．Sometimes, they really do know an answer, but without thinking it is important．Charles Darwin didn't just think he knew something．And, he believed all things could be important no matter how simple they seemed to be．Suppose you drop pieces of paper that are of exactly the same size and shape．If you drop them at the same time in the same place, they will fall in the same way．Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight little ball and let it drop along with the other pieces．What happens? You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it couldn't be worth anything．But this simple experiment is important．It explains part of our present day understandings of physics (物理学) ideas that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton．And these understandings set aside some of ancient Greek (古希腊的) physics．The scientist sometimes stops to look at very simple things and to think very hard about them．Even the simplest idea, which we might think is foolish, can shake the foundations (基础) of science．1．The passage tells us that Charles Darwin ________．A．was a great English scientistB．always liked doing the experiments that others thought difficultC．thought even the simplest thing was importantD．didn't get along well with others2．The underlined phrase "set aside" in Paragraph Five most probably means "________．"A．throw awayB．receiveC．help withD．learn from3．The writer of the passage tries to ________．A．show us that Charles Darwin, Galileo and Newton are the greatest scientists in the worldB．draw the conclusion that basic sciences are simple thingsC．prove that two sheets of paper, with the same size and shape, will fall at the same speedD．draw our attention to everyday things around us4．Which one of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Darwin really did fools' experiments．B．According to some people Darwin did foolish experiments．C．It is believed by all the people that things could be important though they seemed to be simple．D．Galileo and Newton worked out ancient Greek physics．B14、You need some bread and milk. But half an hour later, you leave the supermarket with a trolley(手推车) full of food. What games do supermarkets play to make us spend so much money?The tricks usually start before you walk in. Outside the supermarket entrance, anybody who walks past can smell warm, fresh bread. That makes us hungry and ready to buy lots of food, not just bread.Now you’re inside and, of course, a small basket woul d be fine, but all they have are trolleys. And of course the problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and lonely with just one or two products inside. So we may fill it with something. In fact, supermarket trolleys are actually getting bigger so that we buy more.Of course, many people shop in supermarkets because they think everything is cheaper than in other shops. So supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things but then have higher prices for other products. One new trick is to put red stickers on products. Customers usually connect red stickers with lower prices so the red stickers is easy to be noticed, even when there is no reduction! Interestingly, this trick appears to work more with men than with women. There is a story behind the position of everything in the supermarket. For example, customers often go only to buy milk. So they put it right at the back, forcing you to go past hundreds of shelves full of other products. The position of products on each shelf is also important. The most expensive products are usually at eye-level so you see these immediately. The exception is anything that children might like. These products are on lower shelves so that kids see them.Apart from what you see and smell in a supermarket, what about what you listen to? In most supermarkets they have soft, slow music. It’s so relaxing that you slow down and spend more time (and money) in the store. Y ou also move more slowly when the supermarket is busy. Experts suggest it’s better to shop when it’s quieter, on a Monday or a Tuesday forexample. And be careful with queues at the checkouts. These are sometimes deliberate(故意), to make you buy something from the checkout shelves while you wait.So, next time you go into your local supermarket, remember these tricks and see if you can come with just the things you went for.1．Supermarkets don’t provide baskets because ______.A．supermarkets don’t usually have manyB．baskets are too small to hold many productsC．it’s easy to go shopping with trolleysD．a trolley can hold one or two products inside2．According to the passage, supermarkets put red stickers on products to ______.A．make them look more beautifulB．make them different from cheaper onesC．make people think the stickers are for menD．make people think they could save money3．According to the passage, toys for children are usually placed ______.A．on higher shelves B．on each shelf C．on lower shelves D．on the back shelves4．It can be learned from Paragraph 6 that supermarkets usually ______.A．stop people lining up at the checkouts B．close on Monday morningC．play loud and noisy music inside D．make customers feel relaxed5．The passage is mainly about _____.A．several ways supermarkets use to sell more productsB．some advice when people go shopping on the streetC．several rules that every business should followD．some advertisements that make people buy moreC15、After arriving in New Jersey, US, for a one-year cultural exchange program, I noticed that many local people love Chinese culture. I felt like sharing our culture with them. As one of the 13th-generation disciples of Chen-style tai chi, I set up a tai chi club for local primary students. My tai chi program lasted for 10 weeks, with classes taking place every Tuesday.I have been in several cultu ral exchange programs before, but I haven’t really worked with little kids. It was a little intimidating for me at first. Kids are extremely noisy and active. It was challenging enough just to take control of theclass. In the beginning, we could only go over a few gestures during each class, as I spent most of my time working on class discipline (纪律).However, as the class went on, we grew more and more familiar with each other. Slowly, I found the fun and sense of achievement that lies under the kids’ ne rvousness and tiredness. Watching the kids learn tai chi under my instruction was exciting. Nothing made me happier than seeing their smiles after learning a new gesture. With each punch, kick and stretch, I could sense their progress and their interest in learning. They asked me many questions about tai chi.This experience also improved my leadership. I realized that it was important to unite the whole class and encourage kids to help one another when they meet difficulties. I will try my best to spread tai chi culture here.1．What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A．The author is good at tai chi.B．Foreigners have no interest in tai chi.C．There are many tai chi clubs in New Jersey.D．The author went to New Jersey many years ago.2．What was the biggest challenge for the author while teaching primary school students?A．The age gap. B．Language ability.C．Class discipline. D．Cultural differences.3．The third paragraph mainly describes _____.A．what the author taughtB．the difficulties that the author metC．what the author gained through teachingD．why the author decided to teach kids tai chi4．The author thought that his experience was _____.A．Intimidating. B．Terrible. C．Boring. D．Meaningful.D16、In our daily life, we always come to the question “What is the real beauty” Different people have different ideas. Last night, I read a true story from the newspaper. It’s about a poor, ordinary looking old woman. She lived alone, making a living by picking things from rubbish heaps (垃圾堆). However, she took in more than ten homeless children and tried to bring them up .Every day she worked from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.. In order to earn as much money as possible to raise the children and to keep them in school, she even went to a local hospital to sell her blood(血) once a month. She got so weak because of the loss of blood that she sometimes felt sick on her way home. When asked why she chose to take care of so many children, she smiled and answered,“Oh, I lov e children and I like to live together with them because theyalways bring me great happiness.” Though the old woman was poor, she was full of love and rich in spirit.So the local government and people in her city truly respected her. Maybe you can’t help thinking,“What makes that poor woman so different?” It is nothing else but her inner (内部的) beauty, her true devotion of love without any thought of money. So the real beauty is the beauty in one’s heart, that is, the inner beauty!1．What’s the article main ly about?A．How can we be a real beautiful person?B．Why is it important to be a real beautiful person?C．What is the meaning of the real beauty?D．How did the old woman become a beautiful person?2．How did the old woman bring the homeless children up?A．By raising (募捐) the money. B．By picking rubbish and selling blood.C．By working in a local hospital. D．By working in the school.3．What does the word “devotion” mean in Chinese?A．索取B．奉献C．价值D．因素4．Which of the following is TRUE?A．Most of us realize the meaning of the real beauty.B．The old woman worked hard to be the most beautiful person.C．The old woman was the person with the real beauty.D．People respected the old woman because of her looks.E17、In China. The 12th month of the lunar calendar(阴历) is called layue. The month is full of interesting festivals and customs.Laba Festival, which falls on the eighth day of layue, is the first festival in this month. From this day on, people begin to get ready for the Chinese New Year.On Laba Festival, people eat hot Laba porridge.There are usually eight things in the porridge: rice, red beans, peas, dried lotus seeds(莲子)，dates(红枣)，and three different kinds of fruits and nuts. The porridge is not just good for your health, but a blessing(祝福)for the coming of Chinese New Year.Laba porridge is not the only tasty food in layue. Laba garlic(腊八蒜) is popular in the north. People begin to soak garlic in vinegar from that day on, and eat it with dumplings during the Chinese New Year. While in the south, people like making sausages.Another major celebration before Spring Festival is xiaonian. It is usually on the 23rd or 24th day of the last lunarmonth. Traditionally it is an important occasion when people offer sacrifices(祭品) to the Kitchen God who looks after the family.Don't forget to clean your home. This is also an important thing to do to prepare for the Chinese New Year. It means sweeping away the dust of the old year and welcoming a fresh start Now, the last thing for you to do is to wait for the coming Spring Festival.1．Laba Festival is on______.A．the 12th of December B．the 12th of layueC．the 8th of layue D .the 8th of December2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the story?A．People eat Laba porridge because it can keep them healthy the next year.B．People like eating Laba garlic with dumplings during the Chinese New Year.C．Laba porridge, Laba garlic and sausages are popular in the north China.D．People begin to prepare for the Chinese New Year from the 23rd day of layue.3．From the story, we know that ______.A．xiaonian is the second most important occasion in a yearB．your sacrifices make Kitchen God look after your family wellC．if you don't clean your home, you won't have a fresh startD．cleaning the house before the new year has a very good meaning4．What does the passage mainly want to tell us ?A．Festivals and customs in layueB．Different Chinese festivalsC．Celebrations for the Spring FestivalD．How to celebrate the Chinese New Y earF18、At the age of sixteen, I went on my first volunteer program in West Virginia to repair or build homes for poor families. When we arrived, we discovered that the family we were going to help was living in a trailer（拖车式活动房）that was in poor condition, no bigger than two parking spaces. A group of people had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another appeared.We soon decided that the only way was to build a new house. It was something unusual because normally our goal was to repair old homes. The family was pleased with their new house that was 20 by 30 feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.On Tuesday of that week, I asked the family’s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, “What do you want for your new room?” Kids in the families we had helped usually wanted toys or posters, so we were surprised when Josh, the oldest boy said, “We just want beds.” The boys had never slept in a bed. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.On Friday when we saw the truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. They were very excited.That afternoon, while we were setting up the beds, Eric ran into the house to watch us with wide eyes. As Maggie, a member of our group, put one of the pillows on the bed, Eric asked, “What is that?”“A pillow,” she replied.“What do you do with it?” Eric went on asking.“When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” Maggie answered softly. T ears came to our eyes as she handed Eric the pillow.“Oh . . . that’s soft,” he said, holding it tightly.Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems very urgent（急迫的）, my dad always asks, “Do you have a pillow?” We know exactly what he m eans.1．Why did the writer’s group build a new house for the family?A．Because it was their normal work.B．Because the family asked them to do it.C．Because the trailer could no longer be repaired.D．Because they thought it was a perfect gift for the family.2．What can we learn from the story?A．The family needed two parking spaces.B．The boys of the family wanted toys and posters.C．The family were excited about the beds and bedding.D．The writer’s group made some furniture for the family.3．What is the best title for this passage?A．The Pillow B．A New HouseC．The Family D．An Interesting ProgramⅤ.书面表达19、近日，学校开展向名人学习的主题活动。

The red panda named Raviran away from Adelaide Zoo in search of freedom on Friday,August 12, just a few days after moving to the zoo. Zookeepersspent hours searching the zoo and neighboring Botanic Park forthe star.On Sunday morning that week, a security officer(安保人员) noticed a red tail in a tree in Botanic Park. Ravi’s keepers gave a lot of treats to lure him down — but sweet corn and bamboo were not as sweet as freedom. In the end, the panda was brought down with a tranquilizer gun(镇定枪) shot by a highly trained zookeeper. Adelaide Zoo director(负责人) Dr. Phil Ainsley said the star would spend the next two to three days in an animal health center.Before moving to Adelaide, the seven-year-old red panda lived with the famous Irwin family at Australia Zoo, where he got lots of attention. Dr. Ainsley said that week’s bad weather, along with Ravi still missing his old home, could lead to his escape.The zoo reviewed(复盘) Ravi’s escape in the following days. They want to make sure that they understood how he escaped before putting him back in the zoo. The zookeeper said, the red panda could use the climb tunnel(通道) to reach a big tree near the zoo’s gate. And he probably spent most of his time on the run sitting in a tree. Dr. Ainsley said zookeepers would get more training in case(以防) a similar accident should happen again.6. How long did Ravi escape from Adelaide Zoo?A. For a whole day.B. For about three days.C. For about seven years.7. What does the underline word “lure” mean?A. 引诱.B. 阻止.C. 逮捕.8. Where did Ravi live after leaving Botanic Park?A. In an animal health center.B. At Australia Zoo.C. In Irwin’s own house.9. Which of the following is the reason for Ravi’s escape?①The bad weather that week.②More attention from Adelaide Zoo.③The terrible conditions at Adelaide Zoo.④Ravi’s strong feelings for his old home.A. ①②B. ③④C. ①④10. What can we infer(推断) from the passage?A. The red panda Ravi is bad at climbing trees.B. Adelaide Zoo will improve the living condition for red pandas.C. The zookeepers in Adelaide Zoo will take some training classes.DDo you yawn? There are about 20 reasons that scientiststhink are possible for yawning after research. They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning.We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and yawn then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is ▲. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too.Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired. That might be true. People do often yawn before they sleep and after they wake up. However, we know that people also yawn where they are excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down.Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn you breathe deeply. You also stretch(拉伸) the muscles(肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things.In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air.Scientists won’t spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do.11. Which of the following is the best to fill in ▲in Paragraph 2?A. able to spread(传播) easilyB. able to change quicklyC. able to breathe quickly12. In some scientists’ opinion, how does yawning make people notice things more quickly?A. By cheering people up.B. By cooling down people’s warm brains.C. By stretching the muscles in faces, mouths and necks.13. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A. Advantages of yawning.B. Disadvantages of yawning.C. Different ideas about yawning.14. What can we learn from the passage?A. Yawning is bad for people’s health.B. All the people yawn in the same way.C. Scientist will do further research on yawning.15. Why does the writer write the passage?A. To show the research on yawning.B. To explain why yawning happens.C. To introduce some facts about yawning.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下面短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
