Wool bouquets are not like those made from other materials that will be easy to fade (褪色) and they’re low-carbon, which shows the idea of “green Olympics”.Li Meili, a traditional wool-knitting (针织) expert, can still remember the exciting moment in October 2021, when she learned the wool bouquet was chosen as the final plan forthe Olympic Games. “At that time, I felt my dream had come time Our design had been provided for the Organizing Committee for more than four months. I once thought it was hopeless,” said the 70-year-old artist.Li used to work for a newspaper and magazine. She began to learn the knitting skills in her fifties after retirement. She knows much about all the kinds of flowers in the bouquet, but she has decided to be stricter with herself to meet the Olympic standards. “I chose thin wool. Though the speed of knitting skills be slower, the bouquets will look more beautiful,” she said.A total of 1, 251 bouquets are needed for the awards of Beijing Winter Olympics and Special Olympics. The bouquet is made up of seven different wool flowers. Each flower was handmade. which requires plenty of time and manpower. “Take a rose for example. A worker needs to spend at least five hours on one rose,” said Li. “Therefore, to complete making a bouquet will require around 35 hours. All the bouquets will take nearly 50, 000 hours to finish knitting.”Li’s duties include personnel training, quality control and final pack of the bouquets. To make sure the high quality of the bouquets, each knitting group only makes one or two kinds of flowers. “The first-made bouquet was thinner. I filled the ‘branches’ into it to make it touch more comfortable,” she added.30．What is special about wool bouquets for the Beijing Winter Olympics?A．They’ll be easy to fade.B．They’re harmless to the environment. C．They’re designed by athletes.D．They look more beautiful than real flowers.31．Which of the following is the right order according to the story?a. She thought their design was hopeless to be chosen.b. Li began to learn the knitting skills.c. She trained all the workers to make the wool bouquets.d. The wool bouquet was chosen as the final plan.e. Li worked for a newspaper and magazine office.A．d-a-e-b-c B．d-e-a-b-cC．e-b-d-a-c D．e-b-a-d-c32．What can we infer about making a wool bouquet?A．It is completed by machine.B．I mainly includes making roses.C．It needs lots of efforts and energy.D．It can be finished in a short time. 33．Each group only makes one or two kinds of flowers to ________.A．make workers comfortable B．achieve an excellent qualityC．make sure the flowers “green”D．add “branches” to bouquets During the COVID-19, many people under lockdown feel lonely and bored. “There is a loneliness epidemic,” said John Dattilo from PennsyIvania State University, US.So he, together with an international team of researchers, studied how to reduce loneliness and increase positive feelings during the COVID-19.According to their new study, reducing loneliness has something to do with doing enjoyable activities that require both concentration（注意力）and skill.“When people pay attention to what they are doing, they enter a state called ‘flow’,” Dattilo explained. To achieve a state of flow, there must be a balance between the challenge of the task and your skill level. For example, if you’re trying to create a complex computer program but your skill level is low, then you’re likely to feel stressed instead of achieving “flow”. Instead, if the task is too easy, then boredom will set in and “flow” will not appear, either.If you have artistic skills, for example, playing the piano or painting can lead to flow. So can things like skiing, writing and storytelling, depending on who you are.“When we enter a state of flow, we become concentrated, and we experience momentary enjoyment,” Dattilo said. “When we leave a state of flow, we are often surprised by how much time has passed.”However, watching television usually doesn’t help people enter flow, according to Dattilo, because there aren’t any challenges.“People are going to thrive（茁壮成长）on healthy activities and challenge,” said Dattilo. “We hope this research will help people live fuller, happier, healthier lives.”34．What can we do to reduce loneliness during lockdown according to the study? A．Follow a healthy lifestyle.B．Learn as many skill as possible. C．Do some enjoyable and challenging tasks.D．Complete impossible challenges. 35．Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “complex”? A．Simple.B．Latest.C．Difficult.D．Personal. 36．What activity is possible to help people achieve flow?A．Watching TV.B．Writing.C．Eating nuts.D．Chatting.37．How do people feel when they enter the “flow” state?A．They are concentrated and happy.B．They feel time passes too quickly. C．They feel stressed and tired.D．They are lonely and bored.38．In which part of a newspaper may this passage appear?A．SPORT B．HEALTH C．TRA VEL D．FASHIONMastering a foreign language is probably a skill that’s in high need. Whether you’re doing international business, social work, or just on holiday abroad, the ability to communicate with anyone in their own language is of great help and importance.Using AI technology, two famous Japanese inventors have developed a more high-tech language translation device (设备) a timely translator called MUAMA．The translator makes it easier for people to communicate with each other and is widely used in different areas.Learning a new language takes months, or even years of hard work and practice, while MUAMA can easily translate what you are saying into over 40 languages in quite a short time, using only a few touches of fingers. An experienced human translator is more expensive and must be paid for more than once. But MUAMA requires only a single payment for widely chosen languages, which cost you much less to use. MUAMA is more convenient and simpler because of its lightweight design and small size, and it is also easy to carry around in a pocket or a bag, as well as being there when one needs it. It works well even in noisy and crowded places since it has a perfect sound quality, which is powerful enough to be heard clearly. And text translation service can be used as well.MUAMA was first created for travelers. With a MUAMA translator abroad you can ask for directions, order a meal, or just have a friendly conversation in 40 different languages! Take your next foreign trip to a whole new level you’ve never experienced before. Language problems should no longer trouble you.Moreover, it has become popular even among people in other areas. What has amazed us is that more and more international social workers and aid workers, as well as volunteers,choose MUAMA to make their work easier. After using the translator, people greatly raised the quality of work.39．What ability does the writer think is important in the beginning?A．Making a plan for a holiday.B．Starting international business.C．Doing important social work.D．Communicating with foreigners.40．What do we know about MUAMA according to paragraph 3?A．It is cheap but inconvenient.B．It is lightweight but large.C．It can help to clear up noise.D．It can translate speech and text. 41．The invention was first created for ________.A．foreign travelers B．social workers C．exchange students D．volunteers abroad42．Which of the following is the structure of the text?（①＝Para.1 ①＝Para.2 ①＝Para.3 ①＝Para.4 ①＝Para.5 ）A．B．C．D．43．What’s the text mainly about?A．The tools for learning foreign languages.B．The skills to communicate with foreigners.C．The characteristics of a translator and its wide use.D．The methods of translating languages.四、阅读回答问题阅读表达阅读短文，根据其内容简略回答问题。

Do you have the same facial expressions as people from different cultures?New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion.However, how these expressions are understood might depend on where you are from.Research by scientists from the University of Glasgow has challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions. Until now, it was widely believed that six basic emotions — happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust (厌恶), were expressed and recognized across different cultures. However, the University of Glasgow’s work now suggests that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion. This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to distinguish, especially when they are first expressing on the face. Fear and surprise, for example,both share wide-open eyes. The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look thesame.So if our faces are only able to express four basic emotions, how do we communicate more complex (复杂的) feelings? The study found that the way expressions are explained is different in different cultures. Lead researcher Dr Rachael Jack was studying this because “facial expressions were considered to be general”, she explains. However, while looking at how people from the East and West look at different parts of the face during facial expression recognition, they found that although there are some common characteristics across cultures, the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized by everyone.“We said we don’t know what a disgust face looks like in China, so the best way to go about that is to make all combinations (组合) of facial movements and show to Chinese researchers and ask them to choose the ones they think are disgust faces.”With the software they developed, they discovered that in the early stages of signaling emotion, fear and surprise, and anger and disgust, were often confused. Jack explains that these facial expressions have developed both from biology and social evolution(进化).What interests people about the cross-cultural aspect of the research? “This work leads to understanding which emotions we share, realizing our differences and calling attention to our multicultural experiences.” This research could advise new ways of social communication that improve cross-cultural interactions.1．What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?A．To show interest in different cultures.B．To express the worries about emotions.C．To lead in the topic of facial expressions.D．To give an example of facial expressions.2．The word “distinguish” in Para graph 3 probably means ______.A．express B．explain C．differentiate D．develop3．According to the passage, Dr Rachael agrees that ______.A．facial expressions are easy to understand in JapanB．the way expressions are understood is different in ChinaC．new ways of social communication can improve movementsD．it’s difficult to understand all the facial expressions of emotion4．What can we learn from the passage?A．We can express our emotions in four different ways.B．Facial expressions of emotion can be discovered easily.C．Facial expressions of emotion are from different countries.D．Facial expressions are explained differently in different cultures.C15、Today let’s meet China’s excellent diplomats(外交官).Liu Xiaoming is China’s ambassador to the UK.

She was the strongest and cleverest among all fairies. However, she was very ugly. On the island, every fairy thought beauty was the most important thing for a fairy, so the ugly fairy had no friends. Every time she was sent to save someone in trouble, before she could say a word, the person would shout loudly, “Ugly! Get out of here, right now!”She once wanted to use her magic to become beautiful. But then she remembered what her mother told her, “My dear, you are what you are, and never change your looks just for such a simple reason.”One day, some witches (巫婆)from a small island attacked(攻击) the island—the ugly fairy’s home. All the fairies were sent to prison. The ugly fairy changed herself into a witch just before she was caught. Then she followed the witches back to their island and held a party for them. While the witches were having fun at the party, she went to free all thefairies.

That meant that the country's one-child policy came to an end.To control the population growth, China started a policy of one child per couple in the 1970s. Why does China decide to relax the policy now?In fact, China began relaxing the policy in January, 2014, allowing couples to have a second baby if the mother or father was an only child. The change was thought as a major liberalization (解放) of the family planning of over thirty years. But new figures (数据) in January, 2015 suggested that fewer people than expected would like to have a second baby.Health officials said that there were about 11 million couples under the new policy. However, only 1 million couples applied (申请) to have a second child. Some couples said, “Two kids? Thanks but no.” The influence of one-child policy seems hard to go in a short time.China's government has said that China will become the country with the most old people in the world in just 15 years, with more than 400 million people over the age of 60. And in the one-child families, when the only child grows up and gets married to another only child, they two have to take care of two old couples, the stress seems really heavy. To solve the problem of theagingpopulation, one-child policy isn’t suitable any more, and two-child policy is needed and necessary.1．The official Xinhua news agency reported that China would allow two children forevery couple _________.A．in 1970 B．in January, 2015C．in January, 2014 D．on October 31st, 20152．The underlined word “aging” probably means ___________ in the passage.A．年龄B．老龄化C．时代D．边缘3．In January, 2015, the figures (数据) showed that _________.A．fewer people than expected would like to have a second babyB．more people than expected would like to have a second babyC．only 1 million couples under the new policy could have a second childD．about 11 million couples under the new policy applied to have a second child4．According to the passage, we know that __________.A．China started one-child policy in the 1980sB．two-child policy isn’t suitable any more nowC．China will have the most old people in the world in just 15 yearsD．China will have less than 400 million people over the age of 60 in 15 years5．The passage is mainly about __________.A．Chinese populationB．Chinese one-child policyC．Chinese economy (经济)D．Chinese two-child policyF18、After my husband died, my world crashed around me. My six children were 10, nine, eight, six, three and 18 months, and I was overwhelmed(压垮) with the responsibilities(责任) of earning a living, caring for the children andsimply______________.I was lucky to find a wonderful housekeeper to care for the children during the week, but from Friday nights to Monday mornings, the children and I were alone, and frankly(坦诚地) I was uneasy. Every unusual noise or any late-night phone call filled me with fear. I felt really lonely.One Friday evening I came home from work to find a big beautiful German shepherd(牧羊犬) on our doorstep. It was obvious he wanted to make the house his home. The children took an instant（紧迫的）liking to "German" and begged me to let him in. I agreed to let him sleep in the basement(地下室) until the next day. That night I slept peacefully for the first time in many weeks. The following morning we made phone calls and checked lost-and-found ads for German’s owner, but with no results. Saturday night he was still with us.On Sunday I had planned to take the children on a picnic. Since I thought it best to leave German behind in case his owner came by, we drove off without him. When we stopped to get gas at a local station, we were amazed to see German racing to the gas station after us. He stayed again Sunday night.Monday m orning I let him out for a run while the children got ready for school. He didn’t come back. We thought we’d never see him again. On Friday evening, German was back again. We took him in, and again he stayed until Monday morning, when our housekeeper arrived. It went like this for almost 10 months. We looked forward to his coming each Monday morning he left home.Each week, between German's visits, I grew a little braver, but every weekend I enjoyed his company. Then one Monday morning we patted his head and let him out for what turned out to be the last time. He never came back.1．How long did the German shepherd stay with the family every week?A．One day.

They often have a lot of friends. When they have a problem, they try to change the problem i1．a chance. They believe things always work out. But can positive thinking really make someone’s life bett er? Many scientists are studying positive thinking. They are finding out some very interesting information.Your HealthThe Mayo Clinic is a famous medical organization in the United States. It studies many things, including positive thinking. Their research proves that positive thinking has many advantages. First, positive thinking2．good health. Positive people don’t worry about the bad events in life, so they stay healthy.

Don’t give up or be negative. Take action. Think about the future and make a plan. You can learn to be positive.Ⅳ. 阅读理解A13、Many schools want to see young children spend more time learning. Some get rid of nap time. They think time spent sleeping is wasted time. And they feel kids may not really need to nap (午睡) anyway.Ending afternoon naps might be a mistake, though. A new study looked at school nap time. It shows that going without a nap can cause problems for some children. That makes it harder for them to remember what they learn. The new study was done by Rebecca Spencer and Tracy Riggins. Both are scientists who study learning and memory.Children need less sleep as they get older. However, children are not all the same. They stop needing to nap at different ages. Some stop napping every day by age 4. Others still nap daily at age 6. Also, the need to nap doesn’t just suddenly disappear, Spencer said. It can come and go as children develop. Children grow very quickly. All that growth can be tiring. Children may be fine without naps at one point. A month later, they may need to take naps again.All children need a good night’s sleep in order to remember and learn. However, some children need more sleep than others. To keep what they’ve learned, these children need to nap during the day. Nighttime sleep just isn’t enough. Riggins a nd Spencer set out to prove this. They asked children at six preschools to play a memory game. After the children finished the game, some were told to nap. The others were kept from napping. The following morning, the two scientists brought the children back.They wanted to test how much the children remembered from the day before. They found some big differences. Students who were kept awake forgot more than students who had napped.Scientist Peg Oliveira has also studied nap time. She says school naps can be particularly important for kids who might be suffering from (遭受) tough times at home. They often get less sleep at home than other kids. Some do not have their own room.Others may be homeless at times.“Those kids might not be having a solid night of sleep,” Oliveira said. For th em, school nap time is extra important. 1．The underline phrase “get rid of” in Paragraph 1 can most probably be changed by ”A．don’t mind B．are afraid of C．keep away from D．happily agree2．From the study of Rebecca Spencer and Tracy Riggins, the need to nap depends onA．how old the children are B．children’s developmentC．children’s sleeping hours at night D．children’s timetable3．According the passage,which of the followings is NOT TRUE?A．Children who often nap can remember what they learn easily.B．In the game, the students who had napped get better results.C．The kids who had hard times may not need more naps.D．Some children need to nap because they don’t have enough sleep time at night.4．According to the passage, the writer is eager to tell us that .A．children do not pay attention to naps at schoolB．children need both night’s sleep and school napC．there are just two ages for children to stop daily napsD．nap time is very important during the growth of children5．The passage is most probably taken from .A．a science magazine B．a news report C．a story book D．a history researchB14、Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy(识字) volunteer. When I began to know what other people’s lives were lik e because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.My first student Marie was a 44- year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn’t kno w which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus timetable, she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn’t always remember what she needs. Since s he did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only know items by sight, so if the product had a different sign, she would not know it as the product she wanted.As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie’s sel f-confidence, which encouraged her to continue her studies. She began to make fast progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt.At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader with his reading. She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was written all over her face. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.1．Marie didn’t go to the supermarket by bus because______.A．she lived too close to the supermarketB．she wanted to stay fit through walkingC．there were no bus stops in front of the supermarketD．she had no idea which bus to take to the supermarket2．What did the writer probably find when he was teaching Marie to read?A．Marie learnt how to read really fastB．Marie had no gift for learning how to readC．It was hard for Marie to change her habitsD．It was hard for Marie to build self-confidence3．We learn that in the end________.A．Marie could read and became confidentB．the writer chose to help Marie’s son to read tooC．the writer decided to spend more time learning to readD．Marie thought she learnt more from the experience than the writer4．What is the passage mainly about?A．The importance of learning to readB．The difficulties that a single mother facedC．The writer’s most unforgettable experienceD．The writer’s experience as a literacy volunteerC15、Nine-year-old Justin Henry met a force so powerful that it lifted him into midair. It made the shoes of his feet. Justin's mom had to catch his foot to stop the "monster" from taking him. Justin had just come face-to-face with a tornado(龙卷风),one of nature's strongest storms. They can reach speeds of more than 25 mph.During a tornado, the whole neighborhood can be destroyed. Tornadoes destroy houses, pull trees from the ground, andthrow cars and trucks several hundred yards through the air. People are hurt and even killed.The deadly weather can catch many Americans off guard. Tornadoes in the United States happen mostly in spring and summer, and often touch down in "tornado alley,” an area between central Texas and Nebraska.Generally, tornadoes develop one at a time, but sometimes there can be a large number of them. Here are the steps how tornadoes form.Tornadoes are born of strong thunderstorms. When warm,wet air pushes through cool, dry air,the cool air pushes the warm air up. High clouds form.Dry air then blows in from another direction. The wind starts to spiral(螺旋).As the wind grows stronger, air rushes in from all sides at high speeds. It forms a funnel(漏斗).As the tornado gets stronger, the funnel stretches and becomes longer. Finally, it touches the ground.As one of native's strongest storms, tornadoes are really powerful. How can we live through the deadly weather? Quick thinking helps many people go through deadly weather. A tornado in Van Wert, Ohio, blew the top off a movie theater just minutes after a showing. No one was hurt because the theater manager had been warned of the tornado by a tornado warning system. As a result, he told the moviegoers to hide in the stronger parts of the building.1．How does the writer lead in the topic of tornadoes in the passage?A．By showing Justin's experience.B．By describing how tornadoes form.C．By telling a story in a movie theater.D．By explaining why tornadoes happen.2．The second paragraph mainly talks about ______.A．the causes of tornadoes B．the influence of tornadoesC．people's opinions towards tornadoes D．people's activities after tornadoes3．According to the passage, what is the correct order in which the tornadoes are formed?①Air rushes at high speeds and forms a funnel.②Dry air blows in and the wind starts to spiral.③After the funnel becomes longer, it touches the ground.④The warm, wet air and. cool, dry air push against each other.A．④③②①B．②④①③C．②③④①D．④②①③4．What can we learn from the passage?A．The highest speed of tornadoes is 25 mph.B．Generally , there can be a lot of tornadoes at a time.C．Tornadoes are developed from strong thunderstorms.D．Most of the tornadoes in America happen in spring and fall.D16、For one group of children aged between ten and fifteen, Saturdays are spent_ learning the art of serious cooking.

Parents pay $280 for the course where their children can have fun and learn how to make good food.Class member Bill, aged ten, says, "I love my mum's cooking and now I can do it better than her. The teachers make us laugh, especially when we sit down with them to share the food we've made."Flora is twelve, and she's having problems preparing onions. "I love cooking. I did a meal for ten friends which they really enjoyed. Then my mum suggested I take up a hobby, instead of doing nothing at weekends. I was happy staying at home, so I wasn't too active at first. I'm really glad I decided to come, though."Their teacher, Philippe, says, "It's great fun. Children pay attention and remember things better than adults, although the kitchen isn't always tidy when they're cooking! As adults, we're always learning more about food.

The museum was in Theodore's bedroom. It had a total of 12 specimens(标本). On display were a few seashells, some dead insects and some birds' nests. Young Roosevelt took great pride in his small museum.Born in New York in 1858, Theodore Roosevelt was not always healthy. “I was a sickly, delicate boy，” he once wrote. Roosevelt had a health condition called asthma(哮喘). He often found it hard to breathe. Instead of playing, he observed(观察) nature and then read and wrote about it. Roosevelt's interest in nature sometimes got him into trouble. Once, his mother found several dead mice in the icebox. She ordered him to throw them out. This was indeed “a loss to science”，Roosevelt said later.Because Roosevelt was often sickly as a boy, his body was small and weak. When he was about 12, his father urged himto improve his body. Roosevelt began working out in a gym. He didn't become strong quickly. But he did decide to face life's challenges with a strong spirit. That determination stayed with Roosevelt his whole life. And finally his body did get strong. As an adult, he was an active, healthy person. He enjoyed adventures and loved outdoors. In 140, at the age of 41, Roosevelt was elected Vice President(副总统). A year later, President McKinley was shot and killed. Roosevelt became the 26th president of the USA．At 42, he was the youngest leader the country had ever had.1．What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A．Roosevelt's museum had 12 specimens.

These days, many people worry about food safety. But food safety is not a new worry. In 1906, Upton Sinclair(辛克莱，美国作家) wrote the Jungle. The book is the story of a poor family in Chicago. It is also about the dangerous ways that food was prepared. People were so worried that the U.S. started testing food.These days, most food in the world is safe. Laws control where food comes from. They also control how food is managed and prepared. Laws are important. But it’s more important to make sure the rules are followed. A good fo od safety system(系统)keeps people safe. It also helps them eat healthy food. Labels(标签)on food give people important information. Then they can make good choices about their food.Although food safety systems usually work, there can be problems. Sometimes mistakes are made. For example, a truck might carry eggs and then ice cream. The ice cream could make people sick when the truck isn’t cleaned before carrying it. Other problems are not mistakes.

No matter how many friends you might already have, it is always a good idea to make new friends.Being shy keeps a lot of people from making friends. Also, making friends might need a person to step outside of their comfortable places, which are hard for a lot of people, whether they are shy or not. However, overcoming the shyness to step out of your box is an important step in making friends.There are lots of ways to meet new friends. First of all, remember that a good friendship is based on interests, so if you are ready to make friends, start to join clubs or go places where you have interest. For instance, if you like to play sports, join a sports team or after school sports club. If you have interests in music or writing, join clubs or organizations that you are interested in. When you see someone in a place like that, and you think that they look nice, it is always a good idea to go up to them and introduce yourself and ask interesting questions so that you can start a conversation. Don'tput too much pressure on yourself, and remember that friendships don't always happen quickly.Some friendships happen right away, and you'll be able to tell if someone will be a great friend right after you meet them. Some friendships take a long time to develop. Anyway, the friends that you meet are going to be worth it. If a friendship develops quickly, it doesn't mean that it is extra valuable, and if a friendship takes a long time to develop, it doesn't mean that it isn't worth it because it's too hard.Making friends might be a bit difficult for you, and the friends you will make may not look anything like you. However, even though it might be scary to start conversations, you are worth doing it. All friendships start with a single hello. 1．From the passage, it’s ______ to make friends for most people.A．easy B．convenientC．impossible D．difficult2．If you want to make friends, you should ______.A．ask your parents for helpB．go out of your own boxC．obey others’ requestsD．talk more with shy persons3．What are the friends like after you have them?A．They’ll do the same things as you.B．They’ll go to the same places.C．They may not look anything like you.D．They may give all you need4．According to this passage, we know ______.A．if we h ave many friends, it isn’t necessary to make new friendsB．stepping out of the comfortable places is easy for outgoing personsC．friendships always happen quickly if you introduce yourselfD．the same interests among persons may make you get the friendship5．What does the writer want to tell us?A．How can we make friends?B．What is the friendship?C．Who can we make friends with?D．When do friendships happen?D16、Y esterday,I overheard our 9-year-old son,Aaron,talking to his friend,Zach.“Oh，God！”Zach began，looking in Aaron’s closet “Where are all your toys？”“Oh，we are doing something called Simplicity plan，so I basically got rid of 80% of my stuff（物品）. ”“What？Did your mom and dad make you do this？”“No，Idecided to do it because I wanted to.When I give away a lot of my things，I make room for family activities. I did it because I wanted to live differently and have less stuff in my life.”“But still,why would you choose to get rid of most of your toys？”“Part of the reason is that my par ents were doing it with their stuff .And my mom talked to me about it and explained how they felt happier afterwards. And I thought maybe I really had spent a lot of my time in my room playing with toys instead of spending time with my parents and sister.”“Seriously”“I feel proud because I am a person who has just what I need and not more. And I’m startingnew activities like writing how I feel,reading more,and spending more time doing housework around the house.”“OK.Let me get this. You have fewer toys，more housework,and you feel happier？”“Well, it’s not that the housework is fun ,But I do it with my parents. We talk and connect while we are doing it, so that is the fun.And we’ve been doing more activities together, like reading aloud at night. And on weekends,we have conversations(交谈)or go out together, instead of my dad being at his computer,my mom cleaning and me playing with my toys.”1．Why did Aaron give away most of his toys?A．Because he didn’t like them.B．Because his parents made him do it.C．Because he had no time to play with them.D．Because he wanted to spend more time with his family.2．After Aaron’s parents got rid of some of their stuff,they.A．hoped Aaron wouldn’t do itB．decided to buy some new stuffC．found it was good for themD．felt upset and wanted it back3．We can learn from the passage that Aaron .A．used to enjoy readingB．will get his toys back soonC．used to write a lot about his feelingsD．enjoys doing housework with his parents4．What can infer(推断)from the passage?A．Zaron will not get rid of his toys.B．Aaron doesn’t like going out with his parents.C．Members in the writer’s family now feel closer.D．His father still likes being at his computer on weekends.E17、What is the best-selling book in the world? Is it the Harry Potter series or Secret Garden? According to the Guinness World Records, the Xinhua Dictionary, published by the Commercial Press in China, is the world’s most popular dictionary and the best-selling book.In 1950, Chinese language experts (专家) and scholars, Wei Jiangong and Ye Shengtao, started to edit (编辑) the Xinhua Dictionary. There was a lot of discussion, research and paper work. Some hand scripts (稿件) were checkedagain and again like compositions, People’s Daily reported. Many people’s ha rd work and interesting stories went into making the dictionary.In 1953, the first Xinhua Dictionary was published.Today, 567 million copies of the dictionary have been sold worldwide.However, revisions (修订) the dictionary continue to be made. According to Yu Guilin from Commercial Press, editors (编辑) usually summarize (总结) the meaning of words again while revising. If the example sentences are out of date, editors need to have experiences and make new examples. “To give a correct explanation of the word‘焗油(deep condition)’, one editor went to a barber shop (理发店) to experience it for himself, ”Yu told the Beijing Times. So far, the Xinhua Dictionary has been revised 11 times.”To keep up with the times, some popular and widely used internet words are also added to the dictionary. For example, in the 11th edition, the phrases“晒工资(show off salary)”and“晒照片(show off pictures)”were included.All these efforts create the “National Dictionary” of China. The Xinhua Dictionary is not only a useful tool for generations of Chinese people.

That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

The three diagrams show us the results of a survey about.A. what people do every dayB. people 's different habitsC. people 's different lifestylesD. how people spend their free timeBA habit is any action that we have performed so often that it becomes something that we do almost without（%）thinking. Some of them are thought to be bad habits. People spend countless hours and dollars each year trying to get rid of these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change is hard work and there is no shortcut to achieve it. However, there is still some advice for you to follow. First, look at why you do it. In other words, what ,s the result of doing this thing? If your bad habit is shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure （压 力）,what do you get from it? It may make you feel a little better for the moment. Or maybe you have a bad habit of leaving your homework undone. The result could be that you get more time to spend on the Internet!Next, take a look on the other hand. What are you losing because of your habit? Shouting at other people is a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad and unhappy. Leaving your homework undone is a bad habit because you may be punished by your teacher. Having more Internet time means that you are losing the chance to learn the things that you need to learn. When you think that way, you ,ll find that it ,s not wise to keep your bad habit! Now it is time to make a decision. What will you choose? I ,m sure you will choose to do what you think is more important.36.

Some beaches, however, are not safe for swimming. If the water is not clean, it isn't safe to swim. Sometimes the waves(海浪) can be so strong that people can be pulled out to sea.At some beaches, there are sharks(鲨鱼) in the water. People put out shark nets(网). They help stop too many sharks from getting close to the beach. Sharks can still swim under or around the net. But if they try to swim through, they will get caught. Sharks can die if they are not cut free.Shark nets don't just catch sharks. They can catch other sea animals, too. They have caught dolphins, turtles and so on. Even a whale(鲸鱼) has been caught in a shark net. It took many people to get it free. Some animals are not so lucky. They die in the nets.One day, a whale was swimming with her calf. The calf got caught in a shark net. The mother whale tried to get the calf to come with her. The calf was in the net. It couldn't get free. The mother had to watch it die.Many people think shark nets should not be used. Sharks are important in the ocean. They mainly eat sick and dead fish. They help to keep the ocean clean. Sharks are the lions and the tigers of the sea. Some people think there are other ways to keep the beach safe for people.Shark spotters are people who watch for sharks. They go to a high place.
