The weather is very hot all the year. It is a good place for holidays. Let’s enjoy its beauty together.Cute LemursMany lovely lemurs live in this country. They look like monkeys.

But sometimes they also eat insects and smaller animals.People in MadagascarMost people in the island are farmers. They are very friendly. They are brown and not tall. They speak Malagasy language and French. Look at the girl in the picture！Her father and mother are both farmers. They grow rice and bananas. And they also keep cattle . If they have the most cattle，they are the richest.Traveler’s Palm（旅人蕉）Traveler’s palm is a famous plant. It has many big leaves. When a traveler is hot，he can hide under the leaves.

A lot of people in Madagascar are farmersC The weather in Madagascar is only hot in summer.D. Travelers can find much water in the leaves of the Traveler’s Palm.BIn a video posted on Sina Weibo，we can see a man slouching in a seat on a high-speed train. He is actually a university student .Now he is in the hot seat ，because he took a woman’s seat on the high-speed train a few days ago.When the woman asked him to give her seat back，he refused and said，“You have three choices –stand，take my seat or go to the dining coach.”A worker on the train then came to try to ask him to give the seat back. The man said he wasn’t able to stand on his own and asked for a wheelchair. Left with no other choice，the worker led the woman passenger to another seat. The video quickly spread online. Many are angry about the man’s behavior. Some people even dug up the man’s name，as well as his education and work history，showing the information online.The Jinan Public Security Center handed down a punishment for the young man. He was fined 200 yuan and will not be allowed to buy train tickets for some time.However，many people think it was not strict enough，adding that those who behave similarly on airplanes can be held criminally liable. China News Service noted.Experts explained that the present laws could be improved to stop train passengers from behaving poorly. And the government in Guangdong has already been on the way.29. What does the phrase “in the hot seat”probably meanA. Being in the center of a room.B. Facing some trouble.C. Sitting on an uncomfortable seat.D. Becoming popular.30.

Bad behavior on planes is not punished.D. Laws that punish bad behavior on trains are not as strict as those for planes.CTraveling makes us feel sick because modern transport tricks the brain into thinking we have been poisoned，a scientist has said.Being in a car，train，boat or plane makes conflicting signals in the brain which causes an action similar to something that happens when someone is poisoned. Dr Dean Burnett，from Cardiff University，said the feeling of sickness is caused because the brain thinks the body needs to remove a toxin through vomiting . But in fact，the “poisoning”effect is caused by the mixed messages-- for the muscles ，they tell the brain the body is motionless，but for the ears，they got the feeling that the body has some movement.Dr Dean Burnett explained that reading in a car made the feeling of travel sickness worse，because the eyes were focused on a small，motionless space and gave the brain no information to explain that the body was moving. The feeling of sickness could be weakened by looking out of a car window because this showed the brain that movement was taking place. “You can see the passage and movement itself，and that balances the system，” he said. “The brain’s going: ‘Oh，look，things are moving--I must be moving’--and then it calms down the sickness.”Dr Burnett said there was no clear reason why some people suffered from car sickness more than others. But he said there were several other aspects of modern life with which the brain had not yet recognized or understood.33. Tom often feels sick when traveling in a bus，because ________ according to the writer.A. buses make his brain into thinking he has been poisonedB. buses make him feel very excitedC. he doesn’t like taking a bus to anywhere at allD His body needs to remove a toxin through vomiting34.

Why Do We Get Car Sick？C. The Danger of Modern TransportD. How to Keep Balance.DImagine getting the chance to go camping for five days. It would be an adventure in the wild.

He had to wait 10 minutes before he could get off the bus.Suddenly he heard a loud noise. He looked up and found that the bus driver was no longer in the driver’s seat. She had passed out and slumped（倒下）over on the bus’ stairs.Will left his seat，grabbed the two-way radio and reported that the driver was hurt. Soon another bus driver and an ambulance arrived. They sent the driver to the hospital. Will and everyone else on the bus went to class as usual.Will’s brave actions attracted a lot of attention. A local TV station even interviewed him，although he didn’t want to be in the spotlight.

Nobel Prize-winning writer Gabriel Garcia Mrquez died on that day at the age of 87.Garcia Mrquez was born in Colombia，but lived in Mexico for more than 30 years. He is one of the 20th century’s most famous writers.He is best-known for the novel in 1967—One Hundred Years of Solitude. It tells the story of a family over many years. The story shows the development of Colombia since the 19th century. The novel has sold about 50 million copies.He wrote in a style called“magical realism（魔幻现实主义）”. This style has both magic and reality（现实）. In such works，people live common lives during a certain time of history. But at the same time，magic things happen to them.In Garcia Mrquez’s works，a child is born with a pig’s tail，and a couple find an old man with big wings（翅膀）in their garden.He said he was encouraged by childhood stories told by his grandmother. She believed that anything waspossible. She often told him stories about ghosts（鬼魂）in their house.But his works are quite serious. He wrote during a period when much of Colombia was in a war. Everyday life in Colombia was hard. That’s why magical realism worked well at that time.1.It has been more than years since One Hundred Years of Solitude came out.A.50B.60C.70D.802.The novel mentioned in the passage is about.A.the history of AmericaB.a family story over many yearsC.the development of MexicoD.the war happening in America3.What did the writer’s grandmother often tell him？A.History.B.Stories.C.Dreams.D.Reality.4.Magical realism worked well at that time because.A.the life in Colombia was difficultB.the writer’s works were seriousC.the writer was quite good at writingD.there were some ghosts in his worksCAutism（自闭症）is a disorder of the brain that happens in the first three years of life. It affects the brain’s normal development. Most autistic patients have difficulty talking with other people or doing things. However，some of the autistic people have amazing abilities. For example，some can memorize many things and some can do calculations really fast.Raymond Babbitt in the 1988 film Rain Man is an example. The character in the film was based on Kim Peek，a man from the USA. Peek couldn’t switch on a light or put his clothes on by himself. But his memory was so amazing that he could remember almost anything. He could memorize every road，place and distance on maps. Hecould even remember almost every word in thousands of books. His way of reading was more amazing. Peek could read two pages at the same time in just eight to ten seconds. He read the left page with his left eye and the right page with his right eye.Scientists still don’t know for sure why some autistic people have special talent after they have done a lot of research. There is one possible explanation. When certain parts of the brain are damaged by autism，other parts of the brain might get stronger. Therefore special abilities are born.But not all people with autism have amazing abilities. In fact，autistic people with amazing abilities are rare and the abilities cannot be trained. According to research，only ten percent of autistic people show signs of special talent.1.What do we know about autism？A.It is a disorder of the bones.B.It happens all through one’s life.C.It helps people memorize things better.D.It affects the brain’s normal development.2.What makes Kim Peek different from others？A.He can do some basic things like dressing himself.B.He has a special talent in calculation.C.He has difficulty reading books.D.He has a very good memory.3.What does the underlined word“damaged” mean in Chi nese？A.毁坏B.强化C.开发D.摘除4.What does the passage mainly talk about？A.Ways of dealing with autism.B.The relationship between autism and talent.C.Ways of training autistic people’s abilities.D.Reasons for autistic people’s special talent.DThat cold January night，I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was，walking home at 1 a.m. in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away，I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked，I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings，I felt very small and cold. I began running，both to keep warm and to keep away any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment，I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly，half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still，the noise had made me nervous，so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes，my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search，I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside，“Alisa Camacho？” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name？The door opened，and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for？” he asked，holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that ni ght，but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life.1.On the cold January night，the writer was busy_______________.A. taking part in some city activitiesB. solving her problem at the bankC. learning acting in an evening schoolD. preparing for the coming night show2.

Local bus drivers taught students about the buses’ two-way radios and showed the students how to use them in dangerous situations. Will used what he learned to help an injured bus driver get quick medical treatment.That day，like every other student on the bus，Will started playing a video game on his phone after he was seated. He had to wait 10 minutes before he could get off the bus.Suddenly he heard a loud noise. He looked up and found that the bus driver was no longer in the driver’s seat. She had passed out and slumped（倒下）over on the bus’ stairs.Will left his seat，grabbed the two-way radio and reported that the driver was hurt. Soon another bus driver and an ambulance arrived. They sent the driver to the hospital. Will and everyone else on the bus went to class as usual.Will’s brave actions attracted a lot of attention. A local TV station even interviewed him，although he didn’t want to be in the spotlight. People in his hometown now call the 11-year-old a hero for his brave actions.1.When did the story probably happen？A.On a morning.B.On an evening.C.On an afternoon.D.We don’t know.2.How did Will save the driver？A.He gave the driver medical treatment.B.He called other drivers.C.He reported the accident with a radio.D.He shouted with other students for help.3.Which statement is right？A.Will saved a bus driver when he was in fifth grade.B.Will was really happy to receive much attention.C.Will and his classmates were playing games on their phones when the accident happened.D.Will was about 12 years old when the accident happened.1.【答案】A【解析】细节理解题.题干问题:故事可能发生在什么时候？从第四自然段最后两句They sent the driver to the hospital. Will and everyone else on the bus went to class as usual.可知，在驾驶员被送到医院后，Will和其他人像往常一样去上课，因此推测时间应该是早上.2.【答案】C【解析】细节理解题.题干问题:Will是怎样救助驾驶员的？由第四自然段中的Will left his seat，grabbed the two-way radio and reported that the driver was hurt.可知，Will在危急时刻使用无线电汇报了驾驶员受伤的事，救助了该车驾驶员.3.【答案】C【解析】细节理解题.Will接受培训是在五年级，但没有提到救助驾驶员时上几年级，排除A项;最后一段中的he didn’t want to be in the spotlight说明他不想成为焦点，排除B项;根据最后一段中的People in his hometown now call the 11-year-old a hero可排除D项.由第二段中的That day，like every other student on the bus，Will started playing a video game on his phone after he was seated可知，当时Will和同学们正在打游戏，因此选择C项.BIn 2014，the world said goodbye to a great cultural man on April 17.

She believed that anything was possible. She often told him stories about ghosts（鬼魂）in their house.But his works are quite serious. He wrote during a period when much of Colombia was in a war.

Most autistic patients have difficulty talking with other people or doing things. However，some of the autistic people have amazing abilities. For example，some can memorize many things and some can do calculations really fast.Raymond Babbitt in the 1988 film Rain Man is an example. The character in the film was based on Kim Peek，a man from the USA. Peek couldn’t switch on a light or put his clothes on by himself. But his memory was so amazing that he could remember almost anything. He could memorize every road，place and distance on maps. He could even remember almost every word in thousands of books. His way of reading was more amazing. Peek could read two pages at the same time in just eight to ten seconds. He read the left page with his left eye and the right page with his right eye.Scientists still don’t know for sure why some autistic people have special talent af ter they have done a lot of research. There is one possible explanation. When certain parts of the brain are damaged by autism，other parts of the brain might get stronger. Therefore special abilities are born.But not all people with autism have amazing abilities. In fact，autistic people with amazing abilities are rare and the abilities cannot be trained. According to research，only ten percent of autistic people show signs of special talent.1.What do we know about autism？A.It is a disorder of the bones.B.It happens all through one’s life.C.It helps people memorize things better.D.It affects the brain’s normal development.2.What makes Kim Peek different from others？A.He can do some basic things like dressing himself.B.He has a special talent in calculation.C.He has difficulty reading books.D.He has a very good memory.3.What does the underlined word“damaged” mean in Chinese？A.毁坏B.强化C.开发D.摘除4.What does the passage mainly talk about？A.Ways of dealing with autism.B.The relationship between autism and talent.C.Ways of training autistic people’s abilities.D.Reasons for autistic people’s special talent.1.【答案】D【解析】根据第一段第二句It affects the brain’s normal development.可知D正确.2.【答案】D【解析】根据第二段中But his memory was so amazing that he could remember almost anything.可知D正确，他的记忆力超强.3.【答案】A【解析】因为自闭症是大脑功能失调，故大脑的某些部分会受损，所以选A.4.【答案】B【解析】全文主要讲自闭症的特点以及少数自闭症患者具有特殊的能力.文中说自闭症的特殊能力是天生的，不是通过训练获得的，科学家也不知道其原因，故C、D错误.文章也没说怎样治疗自闭症，故A错误.故选B，意思是:自闭症与才能之间的关系.DThat cold January night，I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was，walking home at 1 a.m. in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away，I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked，I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings，I felt very small and cold. I began running，both to keep warm and to keep away any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment，I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly，half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still，the noise had made me nervous，so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes，my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search，I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside，“Alisa Camacho？” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name？The door opened，and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for？” he asked，holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night，but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life.1.On the cold January night，the writer was busy_______________.A. taking part in some city activitiesB. solving her problem at the bankC. learning acting in an evening schoolD. preparing for the coming night show2. The writer lost her wallet________________.A. at the theaterB. on her way homeC. near the doorD. in a tall building3.Why did the small red-haired man call the writer’s name？A. Because he wanted to give back the wallet.B. Because he offered to take her back home.C. Because he wanted to get some money from her.D. Because he found her wallet in the garbage truck.4. What do you think the writer would do after that night？Why？（40-50 words）。
