Several new technologies that are to change your buying habits already appear. Let’s see what’s in store for your future shopping.Try it on, virtually（虚拟地）. Want to shop online for a new pair of glasses? You don’t need to guess which pai r looks best on you—use the eBay Fashion iPhone app to try a pair of glasses you’re checking out on a picture of your face. But what about buying something bigger? Thanks to Microsoft Kinect’s action tracking（跟踪）camera, you can cover clothes on your screen body. You can even choose the background of your virtual fitting room to improve your shopping experience.Get a perfect, custom fit. Everyone’s body is shaped differently. To get a perfect fit, you sometimes have to get your clothes changed. But by using 3D scanning technology, all the clothes you buy will fit your body perfectly. Some companies scan（扫描）your body using High-tech to get the real sizes, so they can make special clothes just for you.学科+网High-tech shopping carts（推车）and checkout counters（收银台）. High-tech shopping carts could be common in malls and supermarkets in the future. Microsoft Kinect-enabled carts are under test. The cart can follow you along the aisles （通道）, controlled only by your movement and your voice.In the United States, several supermarkets use a certain set called “Scan It” that gives buyers the freedom to scan products on their own while they shop. If we don’t want to wait in line before the checkout counters, we can use Toshiba’s new object Recognition Scanner.

So when everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I couldn’t.In my first class, Mrs Green asked us to read a story and then write on it within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs Green, you see, I have attention problems. I might not be able to do that.” She looked at me and said, “You are no different from your classmates, young man.” I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading. So I took it home.In my bedroom, it was so quiet and the story suddenly became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system which opened up a new world to the blind.Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted (有视力的)” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs Green, so when it came back to me the next day with an “A” on it, I couldn’t believe my eyes. At the bottom of the paper were these words, “See what you can do when you keep trying.”1．What problem did the writer have at the age of 13?A．He had a problem with the doctor.

Among many things, relationships are the hardest to leave 2 . Some schools try to stop students’ puppy love in different ways. Anything about “love” relationship is not 3 . For example, a middle school in Fu’an, Fujian Province forbids(禁止) boys and girls to sit together for meals and forbids boys to look at girls for a long time;a middle school in Luohe, Henan Province sets 4 that boys and girls should meet in bright places with at least 5 other class mates, and 5 they meet in private they will be asked to go home with 6 for more than a week and even advised to leave school; a middle school in Jinan, Shandong Province 7 everyone to send food and gifts to or receive them from the opposite sex(异性). It also forbids students to help the opposite sex with bags and coats and requires a “44cm” distance between boys and girls. Some students are not 8 with such rules. “Why should we have strict places for different sexes to eat in? It’s not using bathrooms!” Some people 9 care about the i ntelligence development of the students say that they should be more creative with fewer rules. For this, I’d like to say that middle school students are going through puberty(青春期). It’s normal for them to have some feelings for the opposite sex. Schools s hould provide correct guidance and education instead of giving simple and cruel rules and asking the students to 10 .1．A．about B．to C．from2．A．for B．behind C．with3．A．forbidden B．stopped C．allowed4．A．rules B．rulers C．goals5．A．where B．what C．if6．A．students B．parents C．teachers7．A．forbids B．allows C．encourages8．A．serious B．careful C．satisfied9．A．which B．whom C．who10．A．follow B．get C．becomeⅢ. 语法填空12、One sunny afternoon Bernard Shaw was having a walk in the quiet field.

Mr Shaw looked at the puzzled rider and added, "If you killed me, you know, you would be famous all over the world."Ⅳ. 阅读理解A13、Have you ever felt a strong emotion (情绪), but not been able to find the right word to describe it? Maybe there is a word for it, but you just don’t know it yet. One man is trying to help fix this problem. University of East London psychology researcher Tim Lomas is making a list of words from different languages around the world. The words have no exact equivalent(对等的) words or phrases in the English language. Perhaps the most famous example is “schadenfreude”, the German word describing pleasure at the bad luck of others.Borrowing from as many languages as he could, Lomas searched for “untranslatable” experiences and published them in The Journal of Positive Psychology last year. His study is called the Positive Lexicography Project. Lomas has focused mostly on happy moments. He hopes that learning these words will enrich (使丰富) people’s lives. So now, thanks to the Portuguese(葡萄牙语), when you run your fingers through a loved one’s hair you can call it “cafune”. Or you can use the Spanish word “estrenar” to describe the feeling when you wear or use something for the first time. The Germans describe the good mood at the end of a working day as “feierabend”, while the Norwegians describe the feeling of sitting around a warm fireplace as “peiskos”.“The limits of our language are said to define the boundaries of our world,” Lomas wrote for The Conversation. “If we lack (缺乏) a word for a particular positive emotion, we are far less likely to experience it.”1．What is psychology researcher Tim Lomas working on?A．He is stud ying people’s strong emotions.B．He is improving the old English dictionaries.C．He is making a list of words to describe people’s emotions.D．He is trying to explain the differences between languages in the world.2．What does the underlined word “schadenfreude” in the first paragraph mean in Chinese?A．乐极生悲B．幸灾乐祸C．苦尽甘来D．火上浇油3．Which of the following is NOT true about Lomas’ study?A．He borrowed from many languages for his study.B．His studied “untranslatable” experiences.C．His study is called the Positive Lexicography Project.D．His study focused on sad moments in people’s daily life.4．The word “peiskos” describes the feeling _____.A．when you push your fingers through a loved one’s hairB．when you wear or use something for the first timeC．when a long working day comes to an endD．when you’re sitting around a warm fireplaceB14、In the most southern part of our planet, there’s a place that’s covered with snow and ice all year round. But it has the clearest and cleanest air. Amazingly, in this place, the sun sometimes hangs even in the midnight sky. This place is Antarctica (南极洲): the coldest, windiest and harshest (恶劣的) place on the Earth.As the world’s least-known place, Antarctica is of great interest to scientists around the world. In 1983, China joined the Antarctic Treaty (《南极条约》). The treaty made Antarctica a peaceful place for member countries to do scientific research. During 30 years, China has sent many scientists to Antarctica. They mostly look at the resources under the icy land and do research about climate change and marine (海洋的) biology.Antarctica is a place with fantastic views. However, life there is very hard. Food is one of the biggest problems. Frozen (速冻) food which can be heated easily is people’s daily food. Fresh vege tables are hard to grow in the cold weather. Therefore, scientists often eat dried or canned vegetables.Sleep is also troublesome. In Antarctica, summer lasts from November to March. During this period, Antarctica points to the sun and receives sunlight 24 hours a day. In order to get some sleep, scientists cover the windows with black plastic cloth to create “night”.Working in Antarctica is dangerous, especially when meeting gale-force (七级以上的) winds. Sometimes the wind is even stronger than a typhoon. It can easily blow people away. So there are ropes that connect buildings of some research stations. People can hold these ropes to keep their balance in forceful winds.What’s more, communicating with others is difficult. Without cables and Internet in some research stations, two-way radios are the only tools to communicate. If people want to say hello to friends and relatives, they can use satellite phones.Although it is challenging to work in Antarctica, scientists’passionto learn about this mysterious land will never end. It is hopeful that one day they will step every corner of this icy land.1．From Paragraph 1, we learn that the Antarctica ______.A．is covered with snow and iceB．rains heavily from time to timeC．has little wind most of the timeD．has sunshine during every night2．Scientists from China go to Antarctica to _____.A．find out ways to control water pollutionB．research climate change and marine biologyC．grow plants and vegetables in special conditionD．stop the hunters from killing the marine biology3．In order to sleep well in Antarctica, the scientists have to _____.A．wear more clothes to keep warmB．cover the windows with black clothC．connect research stations with ropesD．eat more fried and canned vegetables4．We can replace (替换) the underlined wordpassionin the last paragraph with .A．strong loveB．full preparationC．pleasant introductionD．amazing imagination5．The passage is mainly about .A．view of the AntarcticaB．exploring the AntarcticaC．how to survive in the AntarcticaD．climate changes of the AntarcticaC15、What does success mean? Is it becoming famous, ric h, coming up with an idea that changes people’s lives, or helping others and feeling happy?For example, there are many people who have a billion dollars. Are they successful? Why don’t they stop trying to make more because there will never be enough. They will never be happy enough.If all that you’re working for is money, you’ll do terrible things to get it. If all that you want is a successful business, you’ll cheat people to get it. If all that you wa nt is fame(名声), you’ll give up your dignity to achieve it.What’s the real success? For me, being rich or famous is not all to life. I might have a lot of readers now on Zen Habits, but I don't feel that’s what makes me a success. I’ve been a success even when I had no readers, because I was doing what I loved. Even when no one else would have called me a successful man, I loved writing, and I was happy. Success isn’t about achieving something in the future, but about doing something right now that you lov e.So forget about success, and just find joy and love right now, in this moment. That is a success you can achieve, without any method.

We also communicate by using programs like Skype and Face Time. We can't send tastes, smells or touch, of course. But scientists in Britain are trying to develop a way for smart phones to do just that.Adrian David Cheok is a professor at City University in London. He wants people to experience communication using all of their senses. He said "In the real world, we can open up the glass, open the window. We can touch, we can taste, we can smell in the real world."To give users a sense of taste, researchers designed two electrodes (电极）that are placed on the tongue. A chemicalprocess creates different tastes through molecules (微粒)on the surface of the tongue. This chemical process sends electrical signals that convince the brain that a person is tasting something. They have already created sour, salty, sweet and bitter tastes."You put these two silver electrodes in your mouth, you put your tongue in between and then it stimulates electrically your tongue and you get a virtual taste perception in your brain."A device(设备）called "Scentee" permits users to have the sense of smell. Scentee plugs into a smart phone and can spray tiny clouds of fragrances, including flowers, fruits and coffee. Professor Cheok says the person speaking can activate the device.Scentee holds a container with about 100 different smells. The container must be replaced when all the scents （pleasant smells) run out.1．Where could the passage most probably be taken from?A．A news story.B．An advertisement.C．A science fiction.D．A science magazine.2．Which of the following is the right order according to the passage?a. Electrical signals are sent to brain.b. Two electrodes are placed on the tongue.c. The brain is convinced that a person is tasting something.d. Different tastes are created through molecules on the surface of the tongue.A．a-b-c-dB．b-d-a-cC．c-a-d-bD．b-d-c-a3．What will be most probably talked about in the next paragraph?A．The bright future of the smart phones.B．How the sense of touch will be achieved.C．The different attitudes towards the smart phones.D．The advantages of the smart phones with new functions.E17、Quince, a restaurant in San Francisco, is serving a dish called “A Dog in Search of Gold” on an Apple iPadthat’s play ing a video of a dog hunting for truffles (松露). If you’re wondering about the connection, the dish is composed of white truffle croquettes (油炸丸子).And in case you’re not into truffles, Quince also serves frog legs on top of iPads playing videos of frogs in a pond.“The idea is simply about taking the guest on a voyage,” Michael Tusk, who runs the restaurant, told Inside Scoop SF. “Living in San Francisco for over twenty years, I have seen the technological development, and I want to combine (结合)food industry with technology and a Me bit of education.” Local chef Richie Nakano attracted the attention of social media after showing a photo of the UA Dog in Search of Gold” that a friend had ordered. Some people complained about the high price of the dish, but most wondered whether it was healthy.Tusk said, “We asked local wood worker Luke Bartels to create a housing (防护外壳）for the iPad — a glass cover that protects the screen. The food does not directly sit on top of the iPad. The cover is washed after every use.”Interestingly, Quince is reportedly the first U.S. restaurant to use iPads as plates, but definitely not the first in the world.

She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn't have any money. She just kept 3 of the problem again and again in her mind. “If I tell my parents, they'll be angry!” But in the end, she talked to her parents and they were really 4 . Her dad said that he 5 made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new wallet and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to 6 my problems in the future!” Laura says.Robert Hunt advises students about common 7 . He feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to avoid our problems. We should always try to solve them. ” He thinks that you can first find someone to talk to.

However, Tyler was just loud. One day, Tyler was talking while I was teaching. I said to him, “Tyler, why not join in our discussion i3．of havin g one of your own?” He got up from his chair, pushed it over, and s4．something I can’t remember. I sent him to the office and he received a week’s out-of-school punishment.The week was a wonderful time for me, but when it came to an e5．, I began to feel worried. So I came up with a plan.

Without snakes, perhaps we would find mice everywhere, Most of us, however, would rather see a mouse than a snake, The poison argument( 毒性的争论)is a strong one, Some snakes are poisonous, and this causes people’s death , However, the poiso nous snakes are only a small number. We can’t say all the snakes are bad just because of a few dangerous ones. And what do we do with the people who really like snakes? They like snakes even more strongly than we dislike them. These people learn about them, find them out, and watch them carefully, Why? The only reason I can think of is that these people are open-minded, They are able to put aside differences and welcome the snake as a friend.Whatever the reason for our like or dislike, snakes do something good in the circle of life.They would prefer to be left alone, and that is what we should do, If you’re lucky, you might not run across more than a few of them in a lifetime, That would be fine with most of us.1．How does the writer describe the appearance of snakes?A．Something even without legs.B．Something not popular among people.C．A person who is neutral.D．A person who cares about nothing.2．Which of the following shows that most people dislike snakes?A．They welcome snakes as their best friends.B．They would rather see a mouse than a snake.C．They wonder why snakes can cause great fear.D．They learn about snakes and watch them carefully.3．Although some snakes are poisonous, _______.A．they cause many people’s deathB．they control the population of miceC．they are not dangerous to peopleD．they are only a small number4．The last paragraph seems to tell us that the writer _______.A．dislikes snakesB．has the best luckC．loves snakesD．prefers to be left aloneB14、I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. At the end I said, “Son, remember: Be slow and steady, and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”“He must wish that already,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race wit h the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by pushing on steadily.”Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare didn’t happen to fall asleep, the tortoise would never win the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never win the race. That’s for sure.”I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’r e just hopeless.1．The writer argued with his son because ______________.A．he liked tortoises while his son liked haresB．they disagreed about whether the tortoise was foolishC．he tried to teach his son a lesson but the son had totally different opinionD．he liked the story of the hare and the tortoise while his son didn’t.2．Sonny believed that the tortoise ______________.A．won the race by his own hard workingB．took a risk by agreeing to run a raceC．was not given a fair chance in the raceD．in fact did win the race luckily3．Billy, Tony and Sandy must be_______________.A．boys who were unknown to Sonny’s fatherB．boys who Sonny has run races with beforeC．boys who Sonny has never raced with beforeD．boys who Sonny did not hope to race with again4．According to the passage, who do you think learnt a lesson? ______________.A．The tortoise B．SonnyC．The hare D．Sonny’s fatherC15、This year 2, 300 teenagers from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions (印象) of the real American teenagers. American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and have a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In return, George's son, Mike, spent a year in Fred's home in America.Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months' study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected -much harder. Students rose respectfully (尊敬地) when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.Family life, too, was different. The family's word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car."Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it."At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. "I suppose I should criticize(批评)American schools." He says. "It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two."1．The whole exchange program is mainly to______.A．help teenagers in other countries know the real AmericaB．send students in America to travel in GermanyC．let students learn something about other countriesD．have teenagers learn new languages2．What did Fred and Mike agree on?A．American food tasted better than German food.B．German schools were harder than American schools.C．Americans and Germans were both friendly.D．There were more cars on the streets in America.3．What is particular in American schools?A．There is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings.B．There are a lot of after-school activities.C．Students usually take 14 subjects in all.D．Students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car.4．What did Mike think after experiencing the American school life?A．A better education should include something good from both America and Germany.B．German schools trained students to be better citizens.C．American schools were not as good as German schools.D．The easy life in the American school was more helpful to students.D16、When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm and, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too.One big disadvantage is money---it costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of travelling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising---and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens(十几岁) or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem better. I certainly hope to move backthere soon.1．What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?21*cnjy*comA．Staying on the farmB．Moving to the countrysideC．Leaving home for the cityD．Running away from the school2．Which of the following is true about the writer?A．He is very old now.B．He is in good health.C．He prefers driving a car.D．He lives in the city now.3．In the passage, the writer tries to _______.A．express his opinions about way of lifeB．describe his life in the countrysideC．show an interest in the outside worldD．ask the reader to live in the city4．How is the passage mainly developed?A．By inferring B．By comparingC．By listing examples D．By giving explanations2E17、It was a rainy night in New Orleans, US. At a bus station, I watched a young girl cry as her baggage(行李) was taken down. It se emed she’d lost her ticket. She begged the bus driver not to leave her behind.“Losing your ticket is like losing money,” the bus driver said, and left her in the rain.But then an old man stood up and blocked the driver’s way. “How can you leave that girl out there? You know she had a ticket. You can’t just leave her here. You can’t leave her in a city where she doesn’t have a friend. You will meet your schedule(日程安排), but she might meet her end.”The driver showed no sign that he’d heard or even cared about the young girl’s problem, or how her travels went.So the old gentleman said: “I’ll pay for her ticket. I’ll give her a little money to help her on her way.”He went and bought a ticket for the girl. “How can I repay the kindness you’ve shown tonight?” she asked. “We’re strangers who won’t meet again. A mere ‘thank you’ doesn’t seem right.”The old man said: “What goes around comes around. I’ve learned this with time. What you give, you always get back.Always be helpful to others and give what you can spare(分让).”1．Why was the girl’s baggage taken down from the bus?A．Because she needed to go to the hospital.B．Because the bus driver wanted to drop her.C．Because she wanted to leave for another city.D．Because it was hard to carry heavy baggage on a rainy day.2．What did the old man ask the driver to do?A．Let the girl go. B．Don’t leave the girl outC．Pay for the ticket. D．Give the girl some money.3．Which one is TRUE according to the story?A．The girl lost her ticket and bought one again.B．The old gentleman lent money to the girl for a ticket.C．The girl wanted to return the money to the old gentleman.D．The bus driver wanted the girl to leave since she lost her ticket.4．Which is close to the meaning of “What goes around comes around”?A．Do well and have well. B．Better late than never.C．Take the world as it is. D．Barking dogs never bite.F18、A little stream (小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert, “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,”she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can't reach the ocean,'' she said sadly to herself.At this time, a deep voice said, “if a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a river.”It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “that’s because a breeze can fly, but I can’t.”“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across,” said the desert.“Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea.“The breeze can carry the vapor (蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature (本性) never changes.”Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage (阶段) of her life. 1．Where did the little stream aim to go?A．To the desert B．To the mountain C．To the ocean D．To the air2．What did the stream think when she reached a desert?A．She thought she couldn’t cross the desert.B．She believed she could cross the desert.C．She thought she knew well about the desert.D．She started to worry about herself.3．What does the underlined word “it” refer to (指的是)?A．The desert. B．The nature. C．The breeze. D．The stream.4．What did the stream do in the end?A．Crossed the desert. B．Stopped trying. C．Failed to get to the ocean. D．Died.5．What is the main idea of the story?A．The road to success is not always easy.B．We should do the right thing whatever others say.C．Our lives can be as difficult as the little stream’s.D．To succeed, we should change the way we used to be.Ⅴ.书面表达19、假定你是李华，请给你的笔友Alan写封邮件，告诉他今年你将去他所在的城市游玩，并制定了旅行计划。

So the farmer got down, and his son rode instead.Next, three old men stopped them, one said, "Why are you walking, farmer?Get up, It's too hot for an old man like you to walk today," So the farmer got up behind his son, and they rode on.

Millions of people go to cinemas to see it. The little girl Alice, with long hair of gold, is alive in people's mind again after the film Alice in Wonderland was shown in 2 010.These two popular films was adapted from the novels Alice's Adventure in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. Both of them were written by Lewis Carroll，a famous English writer, who himself was as interesting as his books. Lewis Carroll was a math teacher and talented writer. In 1856，he met Henry Liddell and his three lovely daughters. His friendship with the family became an important part of his life over the following years. He liked the girls very much, especially the youngest one, Alice Liddell. He often told stories to make them happy. One day he took the girls to a boat trip. To make the time more enjoyable, he began a story about the adventure of a little girl named Alice in Wonderland. Many other strange characters such as the Mouse, the March Hare, the Cheshire Cat and the Queen of Hearts were brought to this wonderful world，too.Alice Liddell loved the story and she begged Carroll to write it down for her. After Carroll finished the manuscript(原稿)of the story Alice's Adventure in Wonderland , he gave it to the girl as a Christmas present. When the book was published in 1865，it was an immediate success, and soon was famous around the world.1．2．Lewis Carroll was the three lovely daughters' .A．friend B．teacher C．relative D．coach3．4．Lewis Carroll wrote down the story he told on the boat trip because .A．he thought it was a very interesting storyB．he could improve the story and publish itC．Alice enjoyed the story and asked him to do soD．Alice thought others also wanted to read the story5．6．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A．Carroll finished the book and gave it to the three girls.B．The two novels became famous after the films were shown.C．Carroll created Alice and many strange characters in his stories.D．The friendship between Carroll and the Liddells lasted until 1856.D16、Whenever there's a terrible storm, there are plenty of sad stories. Many people lost their houses, their cars and their pets. But sometimes these stories have happy endings too.A family in New Jersey, US, had a cat named Vivien. She is very smart. She could even draw with her wet paws on the floor. They all love her very much. When hurricane (飓风) Sandy hit America in October, they moved to a saferplace-13km away from home. Sadly Vivien went missing. The whole family were worried about her. They put up posters on the Internet to look for her. All the nine family members searched wherever they thought she could stay, but they didn't find it. The family thought Vivien was gone forever.But six months later, Vivien showed up at their house, according to Yahoo News. They considered her return as a wonder. No one can be sure where Vivien was for all that time.Many animals are good at finding their way home. People usually say that dogs and cats find their way home through using their sense of smell.But that doesn't explain how Vivien found her way back. Hurricane Sandy blew away the normal smells of home."I wish she could talk," said her owner.1．From the passage we know Sandy is aA．pet B．houseC．girl D．hurricane2．The cat was missing forA．4 months B．6 monthsC．9 months D．13 months3．Which of the following is NOT true?A．Vivien could even draw.B．The family tried hard to look for the pet.C．The owner knew how the cat found her way home.D．Many people lost their houses, their cars and their pets because of the hurricane.4．What can be the best title (标题) for the passage?A．A Terrible Storm B．A Clever PetC．A Smart Owner D．A sad storyE17、Being a fit person is very important for lots of people today. In fact, some people like running and exercising so much that they become obsessed with it.Thanks to fitness apps and gadgets (小玩意), people can measure every step they take, what they eat and every calorie they burn. They might wear a special watch on their wrist, shoes on their feet or use different apps on their phone to measure their movements. Importantly, once they have done that they post it on social media. All of their friends can see where they’ve run, what workout (健身) they’ve done or what they had for lunch.Doctor Daniel Kraft from the United States makes gadgets for people like this. He told the Digital Health Summit that these people would become the norm (常态) in the future.I think he’s right. I can see the world of health and fitness changing around me every day.One of my friends, named Anna Palmer, is always using the latest fitness gadgets. Her favorite is an app called Argus. She uses it on her phone to measure her steps, heart rate and amount of calories she has burnt. She always posts these things and pictures of herself exercising on social media. “It’s nice to know exactly how much exercise you have done rater than guess,” she said. “That way I can keep pushing myself to improve.”Also, my friends in China use Wechat to compare how many steps they’ve taken each day. They are very competitive about this!1．The underlined phrase “obsessed with” in the first paragraph means “_____”.A．crazy about B．angry with C．busy with D．surprised at2．What does the second paragraph talk about?A．How fitness apps and gadgets work.B．What fitness apps and gadgets can do.C．What advantages fitness apps and gadgets have.D．More people will use gadgets in the future.3．According to Doctor Daniel Kraft, ________.A．fitness gadgets don’t help people keep fit B．more people will make fitness gadgetsC．fitness gadgets will become more popular D．fewer people will use fitness gadgets4．What does the writer think about fitness gadgets?A．Fitness gadgets push him to improve his fitness.B．He likes to use Wechat to measure steps.C．He thinks it’s bad to use fitness gadgets when exercising.D．More people will use fitness gadgets in the future.F18、A Special LessonWhen I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China. One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked (震惊) to learn that not one of my students has said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them.“Does your mother love you?” “Of course,” they answered. “How do you know?” was my logi cal question. They responded that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was stunned (使目瞪口呆). So mom’s cooking and criticizing read out as “I love you”.“Then do you say ‘I love you’ to her?” They agreed t hat getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love.I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these questions in classes over time. Gradually, I began to get different responses. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you hav e gone, I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”In my family we all say “I love you” a lot. While it is true that we often say the w ords without having great depth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.1．The foreign teacher _________．A．comes from AmericaB．is a young womanC．is expressive enoughD．knows much about China2．Why was the foreign teacher shocked?A．Because her students say "I love you" to her.B．Because the students’ mums don't l ove them.C．Because the students don’t know the meaning of “I love you”.D．Because the students and their mums didn’t say “I love you” to each other.3．In paragraph 5, what’s the real meaning of the mom's hugging?A．She is meeting her daughter at the door．B．She loves her daughter and misses her．C．She is glad that she has more time to herself．D．She finds it interesting to hug her daughter．4．What's the main idea of the passage?A．Say “I love you” more to your family．B．Say “I love you” a lot to Chinese pe ople．C．Say “I love you” as a greeting to others．D．Say “I love you” without great depth of feelings．Ⅴ.书面表达19、书面表达同学们，中考后就会迎来漫长的暑假了，班会课上老师组织大家讨论假期学习和生活计划。

I slept well. When I went outside the next morning, I saw that there were many more natives on the beach. It was low tide, and many of them had come quite close to the Nautilus. I asked Conseil to get a net, and we used it to get some shells from the water. They were very pretty shells. Suddenly, I saw a very rare and beautiful shell. We looked at it together. One of the savages threw a stone at us and broke the shell. Conseil was very angry. He fired his gun at the savage. Then, we noticed that the savages had come very close to the Nautilus in their canoes. A few moments later, they began to shoot their arrows at us. We went inside and told Captain Nemo about it. He ordered his men to close the doors.“But what will happen tomorrow?” I asked. “You will have to open the doors to get more air, and the savages will come in.”“Do you think they will dare?”“I am sure they will.”“We have nothing to fear,” he said again.Captain Nemo asked me about our trip to the island.

Why is red used for traffic lights instead of other colors?As we know, scattering(散射)happens when light goes through the air. For the same media(媒介), if the wavelength is long, the scattering will be short. If the wavelength is short, the scattering will be long.Of all lights we can see red has the longest wavelength, so the scattering is the weakest. That means the red travels far. In fact, it travels faster on rainy days.Using the red light can help drivers in farther areas see the lights. It helps drivers slow down or stop in time. Ifdrivers don’t see the red light until they are close, they may not be able to stop the car in time. An accident may happ en. Red can also excite people. We can act more quickly when we see the color red. In a word, red lights help drivers stop in time and help prevent accidents.1．When the traffic lights turn _______, we will stop driving a car.A．red B．green C．yellow D．dark2．According to the passage, the scattering of the red light is the _______.A．longest B．weakest C．farthest D．strongest3．The underlined word “wavelength” in Paragraph 2 means _______ in Chinese.A．波浪B．光波C．波长D．波幅4．What can the red light help drivers do?A．It can help drivers in farther areas see the lights.B．It helps drivers slow down or stop in time.C．It can make the drivers act more quickly.D．All the above.5．Which of the following is the best title?A．Why do accidents happen?

It was a snake skin found in our garden.“Isn’t it beautiful?” said my seven-year-old daughter.I opened my eyes widely and looked at the snake skin in fear（恐惧地）. I didn’t think it was beautiful, but I learned never to appear nonchalant(冷漠的)with children. Everything they see for the first time is important to their sense of beauty; they see only excellence in the world.“Why does it do this?” Sarah asked.“Snakes shed(蜕) their skins because they need to renew themselves,” I explained.“Why do they need to renew（使更新）themselves?” Sa rah asked.“We often need to shed our skins, those coatings that we cover ourselves with,” I said to my daughter. “We leave some things and find other thing unwanted or unnecessary. This snake no longer needs this skin. It is probably too little for him, a nd he probably doesn’t think he looks as smart in it as he once did. ”As we talked, I knew that she began to understand. Although she couldn’t understand clearly, she would know that renewal is part of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, our rooms, schoolwork and spirit, and see what we need to keep and what we need to leave. I was careful to tell that this is a natural way, not one to be forced. “Snakes don’t peel off their skins when they like them. “I explained. “It happens as a natural thing of their growth. ” “I see, Dad,” said Sarah as she held the snake skin, and then ran off.I hoped she would remember this; we need to throw some away because they are worthless or unnecessary. Then we can store them as memories in our deep hearts.1．Father jumped up when her daughter came to him with a snake skin because ＿＿＿＿＿＿.A．he didn’t want to read any moreB．he was in great fear of itC．he wanted to praised her daughterD．he hated snakes2．Father’s patient explanation shows that ＿＿＿＿＿＿.A．his daughter didn’t want to listen to him at allB．he knew children saw only excellence in the worldC．his daughter couldn’t follow him at allD．he wanted to teach everything to her3．We learn from the reading that＿＿＿＿＿＿.A．the girl seemed to understand what her father saidB．the girl wasn’t interested in the explanationC．the father was good at raising snakesD．the father liked the snake skin betterⅤ.书面表达19、书面表达76. 连云港开展了“真阅读”工程，为了让阅读进校园，为了营造一种“多读书，读好书”的良好氛围，你班将举行一次主题班会，要求以“A good book that influenced me a lot ” 为题作演讲，向同学们介绍一本自己读过的好书(the book’s name, the time you read, the content, the reason…)，并谈谈自己的感悟。

Will it become boring?Twenty-eight eighth-graders at St. Matthew School in San Francisco will tell you it can still be rich and colorful.These students took part in their school’s “tech-free” challenge. They couldn’t use cell phones for two weeks from Nov 11 to Nov 22.The idea was to help students understand how technology has affected their lives, said Denise Uhl, principal of the school.Uhl did a survey on technology usage among the eighth-graders before thinking of the challenge. She found that 84 percent of the students said they didn’t like it “when everyone was on their cell phones”, but they didn’t know what to do about it. The answer was actually easy --- to stop constantly using cell phones.To help students understand the point, Uhl created the activity. It was warmly welcomed among students.“I wanted to sign up for the tech-free challenge because it was just really a good idea to do it,” eighth-grader Joe told local newspaper Catholic San Francisco. “I wanted to get closer to my family. And it really worked. I started to hang out with my family more.
