But for “no-boundary( 无边界) classes” at Luwan Middle school in Shanghai, it is quite normal. In such classes, teachers work together and teach different kinds of knowledge in one class. The school has organized about 60 such classes.“We hope students can get a general u nderstanding of science,” said He Li, headmaster of the school.What subject could go together? The school lets teachers decide. They have tried putting physics and music, physics and Chinese, and physics and chemistry together.To that question asked by the Chinese teacher, a physics teacher sitting near him gave the answer, “Sound waves deflect( 偏折)towards a lower temperature. At midnight, the ground is colder than the air. The sound waves deflect towards the ground. So we can hear a faraway sound much clearer.”“It was so interesting!” said Wang Yinkai, 14, from the school. “We didn’t think about any relationship between these subjects. But now in such classes, we learn to look at a question from different sides.”Li Zhiyuan, 14, said that these classes also help students make more friends.“We often do both chemistry and physics experiments in one class,” said Li. It’s q uitepossible that you’re good at one subject but not the other. “So we need each other’s help.”16.“How could the sound travel so far?” should be a question.A. ChineseB. musicC. chemistryD. physics17.It can be learned from Paragraph 4 that .A.the air is colder than the ground at midnightB.sound waves deflect towards a higher temperatureC.we can hear a faraway sound much better at midnightD.the sound waves deflect towards the air at midnight18.The “no-boundary classes” can help students .municate with other studentsb.look at a question from different sidesc.pay more attention to science and Chinesed.get different kinds of knowledge in one classA. abcB. bcdC. acdD. abd19.What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How to help each other.B. New organized classes.C. How to learn Chinese better.D. Differences between subjects.(B)Children in England will no longer be able to buy energy drinks. The UK government has made plans to ban(禁止) the sale of energy drinks to kids. It is now asking for public suggestions as to what age the ban should start at (16 or18), the BBC reported.An energy drink is a type of drink that contains stimulants(兴奋剂), such as caffeine. Red Bull is one of the most famous energy drinks. The makers of these drinks say that they can give you energy when you feel tired. However, these drinks have very high levels of sugar and caffeine. Energy drinks have 65 percent more sugar than normal soft drinks. This may explain why obesity(肥胖) rates have risen among children.Too much caffeine can lead to health problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness. A 250ml can of Red Bull contains about 80 mg of caffeine, three times the level of a can of Coca-Cola, The Guardian noted.In the UK, more than two-thirds of 10-to-17-year-olds buy energy drinks, according to government data. “Childhood obesity is one of the greatest hea lth challenges this country faces. It's important that we do all we can to make sure children have the best start in life,” UK Prime Minister Theresa May said in a statement.The ban would apply to( 应用于)drinks containing more than 150 mg of caffeine per liter. Under the ban, shops in England that sell the drinks to children would face fines of up to ₤ 2,500(22,070 yuan).20.From the first paragraph, we can learn that .A.Britain has banned the sale of energy drinks to kidsB.the UK government hasn't decided what age the ban should start atC.kids of all ages will no longer buy any energy drinksD.children in the UK can’t buy energy drinks at the moment21.Which of the following mainly leads to children's obesity according to the passage?A. StimulantsB. CaffeineC. SugarD. Energy22.According to the ban, what kind of drinks are allowed to sell to children?A.Drinks that contain 80 mg of caffeineB.Drinks that contain 65 mg of caffeineC.Drinks with less than 150 mg caffeine per liter.D.Drinks with more than 150 mg caffeine per liter23.What can we learn from the passage?A.The ban will be carried out around the worldB.Energy drinks do a lot of harm to children's healthC.The UK will ban the sale of all drinks to childrenD.Shops that are against the ban would not be punished(C)“What is success?’’ Mr. Gruber asked his 6th grade business class. It was his opening conversation for the first class of the term.“Success is riding in a sweet car, watching an 80-inch TV, and living in a place with at least twelve rooms.’’ One student a nswered, earning (博得) laughs from all the students.Mr. Gruber smiled, but shook his head. “Tom, that is excess(过量). That is not success.”“How about being able to provide for your family?’’ A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer.“N ow we’re getting closer,’’ Mr. Gruber smiled,“but try thinking about what you need and what you want.”“Getting everything you want.’’ Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs. Mr. Gruber sighed “I believe we’ve already talked about excess versus(与…比较) success.”“Getting everything you need, but some of what you want.”James, sitting in the back wondered aloud.“ Quite right! ’’ Mr. Gruber clapped. “Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want, the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living in excess, though.”“What does this have to do with business?’’ Tom asked. It seemed if it wasn’t funny, he wasn’t happy.“Well, Tom, think of it this way: the p oint of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to (确保) your needs, you can then see to getting the extras that you want.”“What if I don’t have a family?’’ he continued to be difficult.“Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one.”“He has goldfish to think about!’’ Peter, Tom’s friend, shouted out.“Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl.’’ Mr. Gruber corrected himself. Tom nodded, satisfied with that answer.24.Which student didn’t seem to be taking the class seriously?A. TomB. JamesC. PeterD. Sandy25.How did Mr. Gruber make his class lively and interesting?A.He kept explaining things clearly.B.He just read from a textbook.C.He taught humorously and friendly.D.He got his students to take part in a discussion.26.Which word can best describe Mr. Gruber according to the passage?A. StrangeB. PatientC. StrictD. Honest27.What can be the best title of this passage?A. Get What You WantB. Needs and WantsC. Try to Get More MoneyD. How to Live Well(D)It's winter in Siberia in the east of Russia. Lake Baikal is frozen. If you want to get to Olkhon Island, more than a kilometer out from the shore ( 岸), you can’t take a boat. You have to drive across the ice. But don’ t worry —the ice is about 60 centimeters thick. Just try not to think about how much water is below you. Try to forget that you’re traveling over the deepest lake in the world.At its deepest, Lake Baikal is 1,642 meters deep. It is more than 640 kilometers long. The lake is about twenty-five million years old. On either side of it, there are mountains which are very slowly moving apart—by about 2 centimeters each year.Around the beginning of the twentieth century, the Trans-Siberian Railway was built, crossing Russia from west to east. Before then, it was a long way to travel to Lake Baikal, so it was quite an isolated place. Building the railroad along the shore of the lake was a big and difficult job, but it allowed more people to visit the area.Olkhon is the largest island in the lake. For the local people of this area the Buryat people, it is a sacred(神圣的) place. For the Buryats, Lake Baikal is not simply a lake. It is Baikal, the father of 337 daughters. These daughters are all the rivers and streams around the lake. In a Buryat legend ( 传说), one of the daughters, Angara, ran away from the family. That explains why the Angara River runs out of the lake while her 336 “sisters” run into it.Lake Baikal is usually frozen from January to May. When the weather gets warmer and the ice breaks, visitors can take a boat to Olkhon to enjoy the quiet beauty of this place.28.When it is frozen, the ice on Lake Baikal is about centimeters thick.A. 2B. 60C. 640D. 164229.The underlined word “isolated” in Paragraph3 means .A. richB. lonelyC. beautifulD. convenient30.From the passage, we know that .A.Olkhon is the largest island in RussiaB.the Angara River runs into the Lake BaikalC.visitors can’t take a boat to Olkhon in MarchD.there are 336 rivers and streams around the Lake Baikal31.What’s the main purpose of the passage?A.To describe a beautiful place in Siberia.B.To describe a legend about the Lake Baikal.C.To explain how the Lake Baikal was formed.D.To explain how the Trans-Siberian Railway was built.(E)Who needs guard dogs when you have wolves, right? That’s probably what Kazakh villagers in the Almaty thought when they decided to replace their dogs with the scary forest-living beasts. According to local news reports, taming(驯养的) wolves are now the latest trend(趋势) and a hobby among the countryside of Kazakhs. “You can buy a wolf cub(幼兽) for just $500, they say, and hunters are determined that if treated well, the wild animal can be tamed.” the KTK television channel reported. Nurseit Zhylkyshybay, a farmer from the south-eastern Almaty, told reporters that he bought a wolf cub from hunters three years ago, and the animal is now perfectly trained.Kurtka, Nurseit’s pet wolf, lives in the family’s yard and takes long walks through the village with his master. Nurseit insisted, “I seldom put him on a chain and do take him for walks around the village. Our family and neighbors aren’t scared of him at all. If the wolf is well fed an d cared for, he won’t attack you, although he does eat a lot more than a dog.”But wolf expert Almas Zhaparov said that the animals are ‘far too dangerous’ to keep at home. “A wolf is like a ticking bomb, and it can go off at any moment,” he warned. “If no thing is done, the fashion could spread to the wealthy Kazakhs, who might try to keep wolves in the grounds of their houses, with possibly deadly results.” Social media users also expressed worries over the trend, asking the government to limit the practice.Nevertheless, the wolves don’t seem to become an immediate problem. If visuals from news reports are anything to go by, the beasts look pretty happy with their new lifestyle, and appear quite fond of their new masters, not unlike dogs.This isn’t the first time we’ve heard of taming wolves in former Soviet Union countries. A few months ago, we wrote about a Belarusian family that has managed to train some wild wolves and are now raising them as pets.32.What can we learn from paragraph 1?A.It is cheaper to keep a wolf as a pet than a dog.B.Many farmers like to feed wolves in the Almaty.C.Many wealthy people begin to feed wolves.D.It’s easy to train wolves for villagers in the Almaty .33.The writer uses the example of Kurka to show that ?A.Wolves can be tamed.B.Wolves are like ticking bombs.C.Wolves like living with humans.D.Keeping wolves at home is easy.34.The government was advised to by some media users.A.allow the rich to have wolvesB.tame the wolves for some useC.take steps to reduce wolvesD.make some ticking bombs35.Why does the writer write the passage?A.To persuade people to keep wolves.B.To report a fashion of keeping wolves.C.To blame people for their keeping wolves.D.To call on people to raise more wolves.三、词汇运用（本题有15 小题，每小题1 分；共计15 分）A.根据句子及所给汉语注释，写出空白处各单词的正确形式（每空一词）。

The Internet brings the outside world closer to people’s homes. Some people say the world is smaller than before because of the Internet.What’s going on in other countries? How do people live in places far away? Is there a good sports game somewhere? What’s the li fe like in the deepest part of sea? If you want to answer all these questions, just come to the Internet. Of course, people can also learn through reading or listening to the radio. But with the Internet they can learn better and more easily. A lot of information can be collected at a great speed. Can we go shopping without leaving home? Can we see a doctor without going to the hospital? Can we study without going to school? Can we draw money without going to bank? All these things seemed to be impossible, but now they have become quite possible.The Internet helps us open our eyes. The Internet also helps open our minds. The Internet often gives us new ideas. In a word, it helps us in many ways. Great changes have taken place in our life since the appearance of the Internet.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

When we were saying goodbye, I suddenly felt afraid that I had never had before. This was the first time I had traveled so far by myself. And going to a far-away place I have never been before made me feel terrible. I held back my tears until I could no longer see my parents. As I was wiping away（擦去）my tears, I realized that, from that moment on, I would have to do everything by myself. After my arrival in Wellington, myteacher, Ms. Lang, showed me around my new school. A few days later, I started having classes. There were only 20 students in each class. Only maths, science, social studies（社会学）and English were compulsory, and students could choose other subjects for themselves, I chose music, Japanese and health. In New Zealand, students are very active in class. And teachers are not as serious . They often let us play games in class. We can sit with anyone we like, and the teacher can sit at her own desk or at a student’s desk. The school had an easy manner, with few rules. Because there was no homework, we could join clubs or do anything we liked. I always went to the library after school, where I found a lot of books to help with my studies. Studying in New Zealand is very different from studying in China. In New Zealand, students depend on the library to gain knowledge instead of waiting for what teachers ask them to do. Time went fast. The two months after I arrived flew by. Then a week of exams began. I did not have to take these exams, because I had only been at the school for a short time. However, my maths teacher encouraged me to take the maths exam, as she thought I could do well. Though there wasn’t much pressure on me, I worked very hard to get ready for the exam because I know that no pain means no gain . When the day of the exam came, I found that I finished the paper faster than the other students. One week later, my teacher told the whole class who had got the top mark: It was me! I got 94 percent. All my classmates were very happy and said congratulations to me. It was one of the happiest days of my life43. The word “Wellington” in the fourth paragraph is the name of_______.A. the writer’s new teacherB. the writer’s new schoolC. a city in New ZealandD. a person we don’t know44. When she was wiping away her tears, the writer realized that________.A. she had already arrived in New Zealand.B. she could no longer see her parents in Hong Kong.C. she had to say goodbye to her parents.D. she would start a new life in New Zealand all by herself.45.

Lisa was terrified and quite angry. She made up her mind to save her son from the snake’s mouth.It was a fearle ss mother’s love that made Lisa forgot what she faced. She took up an old hatchet from the ground and struck the snake with all her strength.One, two, with the hatchet, Lisa hit the snake again and again, but she felt as if she were striking a mass of sol id rubber. The littl e boy’s voice and breath were getting weaker and weaker. Lisa’s heart was broken and she nearly went mad.Suddenly Lisa put aside the hatchet and threw herself on to the snake, opened her mouth and bit into its back, as if tearing a touch steak. Lisa was really mad.A small piece of flesh was bitten off. Lisa picked up the hatchet again and hit at the wound in the snake’s body madly and savagely.Stinking blood was spraying out of the snake’s body. The snake was so badly wounded that it let go of Barney and moved back into the forest. It had never imagined that human beings had such terrible, sharp teeth. Halfway home, the snake died.48.What did Lisa find when she came into the backyard?A. big snake was swallowing her son.B. Her son was playing with a poisonous snake.C.

Even if she did not use the hatchet again, the snake would still be killed.CThirty- two people watched Kitty Genovese being killed right below their windows. She was their neighbor. Y et none of the 32 helped her. Not one even called the police. Was this in gunman cruelty? Was it lack of feeling about one’s fellowman?“Not so,”say scientists John Barley and Bib Fatane. These men went beyond the headlines to research into the reasons whypeople didn’t act. They found that a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice that is an emergency（紧急情况）. Suppose you see a middle aged man fall to the side - walk. Is he having a heart attack? Is he in a coma（昏迷）from a headache? Or is he about to sleep off a drunk?Is the smoke coming into the room from a leak（漏洞）in the air conditioning? Is it “steam pipes”? Or is it really smoke from a fire? It’s not always easy to tell if you a re faced with a real emergency. Second, and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel personally responsible（负责任的）. He must feel that he must help, or the person won’t get the help he needs.The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. They had college students in to be “tested.”Some came alone. Some came with one or two others. And some came in large groups. The researchers started them off on the “tests.”Then they went into the next room.A curtain divided the “testing room”and the room into which they went. Soon the students heard a scream, the noise of book shelves falling and a cry for help. All of this had been prerecorded on a tape recorder.Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs, only two out of ten helped. Of the students in groups, none helped.In other words, in a group, Americans often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, needn’t. They do not feel any direct responsibility.Are people bothered by situations where people are in trouble? Y es. Scientists found that the people were shocked, they sweated, and they had trembling hands. They felt the other person’s trouble. But they did not act. They were in a group. Their actions were shaped by the actions of those they were with.53．The purpose of this passage is ________.A. to explain why people fail to act in emergenciesB. to explain when people will act in emergenciesC. to explain what people will do in emergenciesD. to explain how people feel in emergencies54．Which of the following is NOT true?A.

A person must take the full responsibility for the safety of those in emergencies if he wantsto help.D. A person with a heart attack needs the most.55．The main reason why people fail to act when they stay together is that ________.A. they are afraid of emergenciesB. they are not willing to get themselves involvedC. others will act if they themselves hesitateD. they do not have any direct responsibility for those who need help56．The author suggests that ________.A. we shouldn’t blame a person i f he fails to act in emergenciesB. a person must feel guilty if he fails to helpC. people should be responsible for themselves in emergenciesD. when you are in trouble, people will help you anywayD在下列57—61题中，Bobby, Maria, Andrew, Lucy和Scott正在寻找适合自己的大学。
