American people eat the salad before the main course. A nice American thing is the salad bar. In restaurants1 salad bars, the waiters do not bring you salad. You go to the salad bar and help2 .You can eat as3 as you want to. You eat the salad while some people cook the main course. American people know4 to choose from the menu. American menus can look different at first sight, for they use some words which are strange to most visitors. Here are some points, and they5 be useful.Potatoes most often come to “French fries” or “baked potatoes”. If you order a baked potato, the waiter will ask you what you want 6 it. The choice is butter or sour cream. Very 7 vegetables do not come with the meal, and you have to pay extra for them. American beef is usually good and often beautiful. An American salt pot may 8 a pepper pot. But they are different. The salt pot’s holes are bigger. The pepper pot’s holes are black.

All you need is a computer and a headset.However, most students don't seem to like online classes. According to a recent survey, only 33 percent of students would take such classes. Over 1,500 students from10 cities took the survey.Many students said it is hard to focus on studying while taking online classes. This was true for Lian Ruohan, 15, at the Affiliated High School of Peking University. “There are no classmates, no real teachers watching me. I can surf the internet or do other things if I want to. It's harder to always stay focused," she said.Lian prepares a lot before taking her classes to make sure she will pay attention. She also pushes herself to communicate with teachers. Students can come up with or answer questions while taking online classes.But Wen Jiayi, 14, at the Yucai Middle School Attached to Chengdu No 7 High School, thinks online interaction (互动)isn't enough.“The online teachers don't really get to know me. When I don't hand in homework, all I get is a short message instead of real concern (关心),” she said.However, online classes still have other advantages.“It saves time and money compared to taking offline classes. Also, if I don't understand some parts of a lesson, I can watch it over again," Lian said.( )1. How many students would take online classes according the survey?A. About 400.B. About 500.C. About 600.D. About 700.( )2. Which of the following is Lian Ruoran’s opinion on online classes?A. There are both advantages and disadvantages.B. The advantages are more than disadvantages.C. She can learn more through online classes.D. Online interaction isn't enough.( )3. The underlined word “ focus” means ______ in Chinese.A. 走神儿B. 集中精力C. 理解D. 厌烦( )4. What’s Wen Jiayi’s problem in taking online classes?A. She can’t follow the teachers.B. The teachers can’t answer her problems.C. The teachers online care less than offline.D. She can’t finish her homework in time.( )5. What’s this passage about?A. The writer’s view on online classes.B. A survey about online classes.C. The future development of online classes.D. How to take online classes.BWaste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them.Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources(资源), we are short of(缺乏) others, for example, fresh water(淡水). It is reported that we will have no coal(煤) or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps(水龙头) when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.( )6. From the passage we know that some students often ____ in the school.A. eat too muchB. don’t work hardC. waste thingsD. throw rubbish everywhere( )7. Which is not mentioned in this passage?A. Fresh water.B. Forest.C. Oil.D. Coal.( )8. What may happen in 100 years?A. We may still have enough oil.B. We may still have enough coal.C. We may have a little oil.D. We may have no coal or oil to use.( )9. Which of the following is right?A. Waste brings problems.B. Waste can bring no problem.C. China is rich in fresh water.D. Students never waste things.( )10. Which is the best title of this passage?A. Stop WastingB. School lifeC. Waste in the SchoolD. Rich Resources in ChinaCThere was an old man who used to sleep on the sidewalk of the Fifth Street Post Office.I could smell him before I came close. He wore dirty clothes and his mouth was nearly toothless. I seldom saw him talk with others. If he was not asleep talked to himself. I always felt sorry for him. What a poor old man! He must be hopeless and hungry. One Thanksgiving, we had lots of food left over. I thought about the old man. He might be still hungry, so I packed the food up and drove over to the Fifth Street. It was a cold night. There was hardly anyone out. But I knew he would stay at the same place and I would find him easily. There he was, sitting against a fence(栅栏)near thepost office. He was dressed as he always was. I drove my car over to him, rolled down the window and said, "I’ve brought you some food. Would you like some turkey and apple pie?”However, the old man didn't seem to be very excited about this. He looked at me and said quite clearly, "Oh, thank you very much, but someone has given me food earlier and I'm quite full now. Why don't you take it to someone else who needs it?’His words were clear and his manners were good. Soon he put his head down into his arms again. I was the only person who didn't know what to say. An old man who was clearly down on his luck still thought about others. Why don't more of us do that?根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Older relatives, English teachers and the media always praise him. But when you actually take the time to read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, you find that his work is more wonderful than you could ever imagine.The novel describes a young boy named Tom Sawyer growing up in a small town along the Mississippi River. He explores the countryside on a riverboat with his friends, falls in love with girls, starts secret clubs and searches for treasure. Twain’s idea of childhood is magical – a time of imagination, wonder and, of course, adventure.More importantly, through the eyes of Tom Sawyer, Twain cleverly makes fun of US culture. For example, Tom hates going to church, and Twain uses scenes of Tom there to mock religion and its old traditions.Twain’s writing is full of these kinds of critical (批判的) points about culture and politics. That’s why he is so loved in the US –he wasn’t afraid to state his opinions, and he did so clearly.He also believed strongly in women’s right to vote in elections and gave a famous speech on the subject, called “Votes for Women”, in 1901.“Tom was a great hero once more – the pet of the old, the env y of the young,” Twain writes in Tom Sawyer. But he could just as well be describing himself.1．According to the writer, after reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, you are likely to think _______.A．it’s not worth all the praiseB．it’s as wonderful as y ou imaginedC．it’s better to read it with teachersD．it’s even better than you imagined2．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．A brief description of the novel.B．Where Twain’s idea of childhood comes from.C．How naughty and adventurous Tom Sawyer is.D．Wha t makes Tom Sawyer’s adventures so wonderful.3．What does the underlined word “mock” mean?A．make changes to B．make fun ofC．give reasons for D．give examples of4．Why is Twain so loved in the US according to the article?A．He supported women’s right to vote.B．He wrote bad things about US wars abroad.C．He criticized American culture and society clearly and cleverly.D．He showed readers a magical childhood that everyone would love.B1．You can get in touch with ________ if you want to buy an old cell phone. A．Elaine B．Coco C．Salina D．Jason 2．Charlie wishes to rent an apartment ___________.A．which is near restaurantsB．which is in the universityC．which has a dining hallD．which he can take a shower in3．From the last two advertisements, we know ___________.A．the puppy has been missing for 8 monthsB．the purple wallet was found on Sep. 21stC．Salina loves the puppy very muchD．Salina lived on Man StreetC15、Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behavior, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fash ion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive(不坦率的)person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You’re very stubborn(顽固的), but you aren’t very ambitious. You’re usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.If you sleep curled up (卷曲),you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive. You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. Y ou’re easily hurt.If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strength s and weaknesses. Yo u’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.1．According to the writer, you naturally show your secret and real personality .A．only in a normal nightB．only when you go to sleepC．only when you refuse to show yourself to the wordD．only when you change sleeping position2．Which is NOT mentioned in the second paragraph about a person’s personality?A．He or she is always open with others.B．He or she always likes new ideas earlier than others. 21*cnjy*comC．He or she is always easily upset.D．He or she tends to believe in others.3．Point out which sentence is used to show the personality of a person who is used to sleeping on his or her stomach? A．He or she is careful not to offend others.B．He or she doesn’t want to stick to his or her opinion.C．He or she can’t be successful in any business.D．He or she likes to bring others happiness.4．Which of the following may be the reason for you not to make friends with a person whosleeps curled up?A．He or she would rather be alone than communicate with you.B．He or she is rarely ready to help you.C．He or she prefers staying at home to going out.D．He or she wouldn’t like to get help fr om you.5．It appears that the writer tends to think highly of the person who sleeps on oneside because .A．he or she always shows sympathy for peopleB．he or she is confident, but not stubbornC．he or she has more strengths than weaknessesD．he or she often considers annoying peopleD16、Hi, everyone, my name is Isabella and I’m an artist and fashion designer. But today, I’m not here to specially talk to you about art or fashion. Today I want to talk to you about dreams and stories.Did you know that 4-minute mile once thought to be impossible? It was something outside we can consider. But in 1954, a guy named Bannister achieved. 35 In the following two months, two other runners broke 4-minute record and in the following three years and 19 runner s continued. And now, it’s common for an experienced runner to be able to run a mile under 4 minutes. It’s just that they didn’t think it was impossible any more.So we should dream big. I have always to be encouraged to dream big. And I think when you’re very little and maybe don’t know any better it’s easier to do because there’s fearlessness before you become afraid of something. What did you want to be? A movie star, an actor or an astronaut. Maybe you didn’t achieve these dreams, as you got older. Beca use as you got older, you became afraid. It’s important to hold on your fearlessness just like a child. Because it’s fearlessness that helps us achieve our dreams.I’m a big fan of what I called dream board. It’s just a piece of paper. There’re lots of pic tures of things I would like to achieve and I put it in a place where I see it every day and that helps me. I started doing this a few years ago because I read a study in the US showing that people who made dream boards are more likely to achieve them. I know this may not be new or useful to everyone, but for me, the act of making my dream board every year and seeing it every morning really helps me.Another thing that I really believe in is the world. I believe that once you have your dreams and begin to work for it, people start appearing in your life that can offer support and help… So let’s face it, there’s going to be a lot of challenges but to get through. I think courage is needed.In conclusion, after all of this dreaming you have to work hard and pu t a lot of time into everything you’re doing and have courage because there’s going to be a lot of difficulty but just remember the world is trying to help you. I know that I’m not the only one that has dreams. Everybody has dreams. Y ou just need to work h ard to achieve them.Thank you!1．What can we learn about the dream board?A．It is a piece of paper with what Isabella Taylor dreams about.B．It is a piece of paper with what Isabella Taylor has achieved.C．Isabella Taylor was the first to make a dream board in the US.D．Isabella Taylor makes a new board when she starts a dream.2．Which sentence is the most suitable for the blank 35 in paragraph2?A．Still, people thought Bannister’s mark was impossible to break.B．There was no reason why he should have gone on to do anything great.C．Perhaps human body had reached its limit after Bannister broke the record.D．It opened the floodgates for everyone else to continue breaking this record.3．Which of the following are necessary to achieve dreams according to Isabella Taylor?a. Being afraid of nothing.b. Making a dream board.c. Devoting yourself to working hard.d. Asking people around you for help.A．ac B．ad C．bc D．bd4．What’s the talk mainly about?A．The importance of dreaming big and having courage.B．How to make a dream board about art and fashion design.C．Isabella Taylor’s experiences of achieving dreams successfully.D．Isabella Taylor’s understanding of how to make dreams come true.E17、Let’s suppose it is a common day of 2060. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.Trips to the moon are being made every day. Taking a holiday on the moon today is as easy as taking a holiday in Europe in the 2010’s. At a number of scenery spots（风景胜地）on the moon, many hotels have been built. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of the young and old.What are people eating now? People are still eating food. But many foods now come in pill(药片) form, and the food that goes into the pill comes mainly from green plants.Because people in the world today are many more than those about fifty years ago, most of the earth’s surface has to be filled. The deserts areirrigatedwith water and crops are no longer eaten by pets(害虫). The harvest is always good. Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just using a few computers.People are now largely vegetarians（素食者）, and they eat only bread, vegetables, fruit and so on and they don't eat meat or fish. Y ou see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. So people have to be vegetarians. We are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know how to deal with all kinds of illnesses. No one has to be ill any more.Such would be our life in 2060.1．What will be on the moon in 2060 according to the passage?A．Many green plants.B．Many wild animals.C．Many interesting places.2．What's the meaning of the underlined word “irrigated”?A．冲刷B．灌溉C．淹没3．Which of the following is TRUE?A．People only eat foods in pill form.B．People don't have plenty of crops.C．People run the farms by using high technology.4．Why do people have to be vegetarians in 2060?A．Because they want to be healthier.B．Because vegetables can make the patients well.C．Because there will be more people and fewer animals.5．What attitude(态度) does the writer have about the future life?A．He feels pretty hopeful about the future.B．He is not very satisfied with some things of the future.C．He seems really sad about what is happening in the future.F18、1．From the passage, we can find that gazpacho soup _________.A．has a soft taste and is easy to make B．is best served in warm bowlsC．is best known as a wintertime soup D．has been made for many years in Spain2．How many ingredients do we need to make the soup?A．6 B．8 C．2 D．123．The best way to describe gazpacho soup from the recipe above would be a kind of _________.A．fruit soup B．vegetarian soup C．meaty soup D．fish soupⅤ.书面表达19、良好的习惯成就美好的未来。

When he discovered his daughter, Jessica, had run away and taken money and jewels with her, he was furious. He tried to find her.Bassanio and Graziano were on the ship, and it had started to sail. Shylock wanted to stop the ship. He thought Jessica and Lorenzo might be on it, but it was too late. The ship had already gone. Antonio told Shylock that his daughter and her lover were not on it. Someone said they had gone away on a smaller boat, but nobody really knew where they were.Shylock ran through the streets of Venice looking for them. “My money, my daughter, my jewels!” he shouted. “My jewels, my daughter, my money! My daughter s tole my money! She stole my jewels! She ran away with a Christian! I must find them!All the little boys in Venice followed him and shouted “My jewels, my daughter, my money!” Solanio heard them. He thought, “Antonio better pay his debt on time, or he will pay for this. Shylock is very angry. He will if he can.”Far, far away from Venice, in the sea between England and France, there was a big storm. A strong wind blew a heavy ship against the rocks. The ship and its cargo sank. Salerio was the first person in Venice to hear the news, when he met a Frenchman in a hotel.

What do children do when they lose baby teeth? People around the world do it differently.A custom in the US, England, Canada, Australia and some other English-speaking countries is that children put their baby tooth under their pillow(枕头) before going to bed. They believe the tooth fairy(牙仙子) comes during the night and leaves a coin in exchange for their tooth. Of course, we know that the money is not from the tooth fairy. Their parents do it instead.In some European countries it is a common practice to bury the baby tooth in the earth. The tooth might be buried in the garden or in the surrounding field. However, since most of the people now find themselves living in towns or cities, they begin placing the teeth in small flowerpots. It’s done so that the permanent(永久的) tooth will grow in its place.Putting a tooth under a pillow sounds sweet, and putting a tooth under the ground or in a flowerpot sounds safe, but what about throwing those teeth around? In some Asian countries, that’s just what people do. Children throw a lower tooth up onto the roof and an upper one is thrown down on the ground, or hidden under the bed. It is done so that the new upper tooth grows downwards, while the new lower tooth grows upwards.Some countries even have more interesting traditions. In Nigeria, if you’re a boy, you hold your tooth and eight stones in your fist(拳头). Girls hold six stones and their tooth in their fist. The children then close their eyes and state their names. They then say, “Oh, I want my tooth back!” Next, they throw everything in their fist up in the air and run away as fast as they can. In Mongolia, the baby tooth is given to a young dog. There, the dog is respected and considered to be able to protect people. If the dog likes the baby tooth and eats it, it’s said that a strong tooth will grow again.38.How many different traditions about the baby tooth are mentioned in the passage?A.Four.B.Five.C.Six.D.Seven.39.Why do people in Asia throw their baby teeth around in different ways?A.Because it means nothing but it is only a tradition.B.Because they think that the teeth are useless to them.C.Because they have no other places to store these teeth.D.Because they expect their new teeth to grow in a correct way.40.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.A kid in the UK hides his baby tooth under a pillow to get some money.B.People in Europe usually bury their baby teeth in different places.C.In Nigeria, boys and girls like to play games with their baby teeth.D.In Mongolia, people think dogs can help them to have strong teeth to grow.41.What does the passage mainly want to tell us?A.There are different traditions to do with the baby tooth in the world.B.The baby tooth means something different to people in different countries.C.When children lose baby teeth, they like to do some different things with them.D.Most children in the world hope to have stronger teeth when they lose baby teeth.D“To raise snails(蜗牛) well, you need to spray(喷) water to the container(容器) every morning and evening, change soil every two weeks, and feed them with vegetables and sweet fruits,” said Sun Youxiang after raising snails for one year.He is a fourth-grade primary school student in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.From three white jade snails at the very beginning to more than sixty snails of four generations(代) now, he has done a great job for his science class.Watching the reproduction(繁殖) of animals is an uncommon experience for kids.Their creativity, patience and respect(尊重) for life will be developed as they learn to take care of animals on their own.Sun’s teacher said the job served as a good example of life edu cation.Practice is a necessary step in learning and it will benefit the kids for a life time.Life education allows kids to know how to live with nature and creatures(生物)in a friendly way.Starting from this year, science will become an important subject as Chinese and math in primary schools in order to improve students’ knowledge about the things around us.Because of curiosity(好奇心), more kids will be willing to watch and think through practising.It will add to our knowledge of the world in the long run.42.Which of the following is WRONG about Sun Youxiang?A. He is good at raising snails.B.He makes a lot of money by raising snails.C.Raising snails is an interesting experience for him.D.He becomes creative and patient through taking care of snails.43.The underlined word “benefit” in Paragraph 2 means.A. 伤害B.保护C.对……有好处D.受欢迎44.In Paragraph 3,“Life education allows kids to know how to live with nature and creatures ina friendly way” means.A. nature and creatures are friendly to kidsB.life education can make kids more friendlyC.life education tells kids how to make friendsD.life education tells kids how to get on well with nature and creatures45.What is the main idea of the passage?A.

They are looking for nuts and seeds, digging holes in the ground or finding holes in trees. That’s where they store the food they will need during the coming months, when the weather is cold and sometimes snowy.Squirrels spend a lot of time in trees, which are like restaurants for them. Amongtheir favorite things to eat are nuts and other parts of trees, like tender buds (花苞). Squirrels may also eat corn, insects and other animals. And, as anyone who has a bird knows, squirrels love bird food!Squirrels stay active all winter, so they need plenty of food to help keep up their energy. Squirrels tend to bury food underground, piece by piece. Some squirrels may gather food into piles that they put at the base of trees or bury underground.When they need food, squirrels use their memory and smell to help them find what they buried. Sometimes, you’ll even see them digging through the snow.Squirrels make nests in trees. Some squirrels spend much of the winter in underground tunnels (地道), where it is warmer.When spring comes, squirrels change their eating habits to new plant growth, like buds and leaves. Sometimes they forget to dig up all their buried nuts.That’s why you’ll sometimes find a little tree growing in a place where neither you nor your family planted it. It must have been the squirrels.( )6.

The 75-year-old lived very happily in a village and had a beautiful family. His children grew up and moved to different cities. Now, Joe has four grandchildren, and they visit him during their holidays.During one vacation, Joe was preparing his home for the kids: cleaning and buying their favorite foods. After he finished working, he realized he lost his favorite watch. The watch was a gift from his wife when their first child was born. Joe treasured the watch very much, especially after his wife’s death. He was very upset about losing it.Once his grandchildren came, they promised him they would find the watch.One granddaughter asked: “Grandpa, do you remember when you saw the watch last before it went missing?”“I guess when I was cleaning the barn!” Joe replied.The children looked for more than two hours with Joe, but they could not find it. The kids were now also sad, but they tried to comfort their grandfather.One grandson went back to the barn to look again. Joe asked why he was going there a second time. But the little boy just asked the others not to follow him and to keep silent. He was there for about 15 minutes and then rushed to his grandfather. He found the watch and happily gave it to Joe.Joe was surprised and asked how he was able to find it. The little boy replied: ”I sat there without making a noise, and the barn was so silent.

Silence sometimes is more powerful than using your voice.DThe fire at Notre Dame Cathedral (巴黎圣母院) in Paris has raised questions about the condition of thousands of other historic buildings across Europe. It also raises questions about whether European governments are doing enough to keep up and care for such buildings.Some people say the fire last month was a wake-up call, not just for Europe, but the whole world. Large fires have long robbed humanity of knowledge, art and treasures.One example is the fire at the famous library of Alexandria in northern Egypt about 1700 years ago.In 2015, the German engineering company Siemens found that Scotland had about 10 serious fires a year, while England lost at least twelve listed buildings a year. In Germany, 70 historic buildings have been destroyed since 2000.And all too often, fires happen while old buildings are being repaired. Experts say that what is needed is continuous attention and maintenance (维护). These steps, if taken, could help avoid the need for major repairing work.But regular attention and maintenance costs money.Part of the problem comes from the shortage of money provided by governments after the 2008 financial crisis (金融危机). As a result, governments are increasingly looking for rich companies to keep up these historic buildings.“We do need more money, but this is a shared duty for governments, businesses and citizens across Europe,” said an officer from the European Union. Some say world-famous monuments like Notre Dame are the driving force behind tourism and should get more respect.People have noticed the importance of such respect. “Historic buildings are a gold mine (矿). You can not explore it and then just leave the mine and go to another one. It is something you really have to value,” the officer said.( )16.After the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral,more attention is paid to_______.A.European governmentsB.famous librariesC.engineering companiesD.the old buildings( )17.According to the passage,one of the biggest enemies of cultural treasures is _____.A.robbersB.firesC.moneyD.tourists( )18.“These steps”in Paragraph4refer to(指代)_______.A.attention and maintenanceB.careful repairing workC.enough respect from peopleD.serious financial crisis( )19.The officer thinks_______should accept the duty of caring for these famous monuments.A.citizens around the worldB.the European governmentsC.rich European businessesD.the whole European society( )20.The purpose of writing this article is to ask everyone to_______.A.value historic buildingsB.donate plenty of moneyC.pay attention to big firesD.avoid exploring minesIV．补全对话（5分）A：Hi, Jason.

In 2016, people around the world produced 41.8 million tons of electronic waste(e-waste,电子垃圾) and only recycled 6.5 million tons, according to the United Nations last month. The US was the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons. China ranked second, with 6 million tons.(A)It’s important to pay attention to e-waste. It can either be valuable or harmful, depending on how we treat it.To help reduce e-waste, the first thing we can do is to buy longer lasting electronic equipment. If you have unwanted electronic such as aging toys or cell phones, find a new home for them by giving them to charities. （B）You can also take computers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programs. Apple, for example, now offers people a discount(折扣) in China if they hand in their used devices when buying new ones.

Some needed to collect potatoes and vegetables from the farm. Some went to bakeries(面包房) to ask for cakes. And for seventh grader Isabelle Sydow, she had to make gift boxes with her teammates. In her own words, the reason for donating is simple. “Not everybody has everything they need, and we think it will be nice to give everybody what they need for the holiday,” said Sydow.Students collected a total of 1,409 items for the food bank and donated $262.“Thanks for your help,” said Eric, the leader of the local food bank. “The poor people will have a nice Christmas just like everybody else.”34.Food banks are set up to .A. help hungry peopleB.share healthy foodcate school childrenD.protect the environment35.What was the students’ task?A.

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 pair 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?

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 3-D scanning technology, all the clothes you buy will fit your body perfectly. Some panies scan(扫描) your body using High-tech to get the real sizes, so they can make special clothes just for you.High-tech shopping carts(推车) and checkout counters(收银台). High-tech shopping carts could be mon 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. The mac hine identifies(辨认) a product as soon as it’s placed in front of a camera just by its shape and color, even if it has no bar code.38.According to Paragraph 2, the eBay Fashion iPhone app can .A.only make pictures of our facesB.help us sell more clothes onlineC.create us a virtual dressing roomD.choose suitable glasses for us39.Which of the following can help get the correct shape of our body?A.Object Recognition Scanner.B.The eBay Fashion iPhone app.C.3-D scanning technology.D.Microsoft Kinect-enabled carts.40.What can we infer from this passage?A.Checkout counters will disappear from supermarkets in future.B.High-tech shopping carts will be widely used in malls and supermarkets.C.“Scan It” cannot be used by buyers themselves.D.The new technologies are only dreams that are impossible to e true.41.This passage mainly talks about .A.a new time-travelling machineB.the influence of new technologyC.some inventions to change habitsD.the ways for future shoppingDBananas are the perfect snack. Not only are they sweet and delicious, but they are easy to carry around, so you can take them anywhere. Best of all, bananas provide different things that the human body needs!Bananas grow best in warm places that get lots of rain. They grow on plants that look like trees. The banana plant, however, is considered a herb rather than a tree because it doesn’t have a strong, woody stem(茎,干). The plants can grow as high as 30 feet. When they reach their full height, flowers grow out from the stem. These flowers produce bananas.Two or three times each year, the plants produce fruit. The bananas grow together, which seemlike hands. A hand is made up of 10 to 20 bananas. Growers sometimes call bananas “fingers”. Each bunch(丛) of bananas has about 15 hands, and so a whole bunch may have as many as 200 bananas and can weigh more than 100 pounds.After about three months, the bananas are ready to be picked. At this point, they still aren’t the sunny yellow colour of bananas. Farmers pick them when they’re green. That’s how they’re shipped to stores. They turn yellow along the way and are ready to be sold.If you love bananas, you’ve got a lot of pany. Americans have been enjoying bananas since the first shipment arrived in the United States in 1876. Today, Americans eat more bananas than any other fruit. More bananas are sold than apples and grapes together.

考查动词短语的用法。

第一空后的“shy”是形容词，形容词前要用be动词修饰，used to do sth.曾经做某事，故第一空用be动词原形；根据“short hair”可知是指他过去留着短发，have的意思是拥有，故动词have也要用原形。

From playing video games to dancing to K-pop, streamers are making big money simply by sharing their daily lives with the world. Some streamers even become world-famous, especially e-sports players like Shroud and Ninja.I don’t really watch a lot of livestreams. When it comes to gaming, I’d rather play video games myself than watch someone else play them. But I understand that some gamers might watch them to pick up playing tips.Sometimes livestreaming is a bit vain. A lot of streamers are just doing it for the attention. That being said, I’ve al so found some good streams. For example, one streamer I used to watch would hang a sign around her neck that asked for tips. When her tips reached a certain amount, she would put a metal bowl on her head and hit it with a wooden spoon. It was weird(怪异的),bu t I just couldn’t stop watching sometimes. I’d never seen anything quite like it before.Other streams can show us things that we wouldn’t usually get to see.

If the man doesn't receive enough money，he will eat poor little Toby. (Don't worry，though.

It included a photograph of a large crocodile(鳄鱼) over five meters long. According to the message，it had been swimming around the flooded city eating people. It was later discovered that the photographs of the crocodile were of one that was caught in the Congo (刚果) years before.The following e-mail hoax takes in many people. It says that a large British company will pay you to send their e-mail to as many people as possible. For every person that you send the e-mail to，it promises you will receive $5.00; for every person that you send it to that sends it to someone else，you'll get $3.00; and for every third person that receives it，you will be paid $1.00.
