The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me.Underthe strong light, I looked sadly before a huge pile of troublesome stuff they call “books”.I was going to have my examination the next day. "When can I go to bed?" I asked myself. I didn’t answer, in fact Idar ed not.The clock struck 1."Oh, dear!" I cried, "ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We pupils are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy ." The clock struck one. I was quite hopeless now. I forgot all I had learnt. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, Please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.” My eyes were heavy, so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.1．When the author was going over his lessons, all the others in the house were_____.A．asleep B．working in bedC．outside D．quietly laughing at him2．Reviewing his lessons didn’t help him because ________.A．it was too late at nightB．he was very tiredC．his eyes were so heavy that he couldn’t keep them openD．he hadn’t studied hard before the examination3．What do you suppose happened to the author？A．He went to a church to pray againB．He passed the exam by luckC．He failed in the examD．He was punished by his teacher4．The best title for the passage would be __________ .A．The Night Before the Examination. B．Working Far into the NightC．A Slow Student D．Going Over My LessonsB14、Umbrellas are certainly one of life's necessary handy helpers. But as anyone ever caught in a heavy rain will tell you, they're far from perfect. So, many creative designers made efforts to challenge. Here are four clever designs that can solve the rainy day problems.SenzCommon umbrellas love to invert(翻转)when it's windy. The Senz umbrella changes the round shape into the one that's long in the back and short in the front. The design is much stronger against even strong winds, and according to their tests, the Senz works well.NubrellaAn American named Alan Kaufman and his company spend 6 years inventing this hand-free umbrella. Thehand-free umbrella is called Nubrella. The umbrella can rest on the user's shoulders. So the user needn't hold the umbrella any more. And it's convenient to make a phone call or ride a bike without an umbrella in the hand.KazbrellaThere is no doubt that this kind of umbrella is the shining star in the umbrella market this year. Common umbrellas drip(滴水)everywhere when they are closed. Kazbrella tries to solve this problem in a special way. Though it looks like common umbrella, the design allows the wet side of the umbrella to be inside once you fold it. As a result, getting in and out of your car is not a problem.Rain ShieldIn the face of a heavy rainstorm, rain can hit you from all directions. Rain Shield gives the protection from the sideway rain and its bendy(弯曲)design means it won't invert. It can handle strong wind. When not in use, it folds into a small piece.1．According to the first paragraph, we know that the common umbrellas__________.A．are useful but not perfect enough B．can only be used in a heavy rainC．can protect us very well in a heavy rain D．are challenges for creative designers2．The umbrella in the following picture is called__________.A．Senz B．Nubrella C．Kazbrella D．Rain Shield3．If you use Rain Shield in a heavy rainstorm,__________________________________.A．it's not convenient enough to take B．it can protect you from sideway rainC．it will prevent neither rain nor wind D．it's easier to get in and out of the car4．Which sentence is WRONG according to the passage?A．Senz is easy to hold with its special shape even in windy weather.B．Nubrella is a great idea for those who want to play sports on rainy days.C．Kazbrella opens from the inside out and keeps dry when you carry around.D．Rain Shield sells best with the special shape and it folds into a small piece.C15、You may have heard of people who are allergic（过敏）to seafood, smoke or pets. But did you know that some people were allergic to Wi-Fi signals（信号）?Rose White, a 44-year-old woman from Britain, first found herself being allergic to Wi-Fi signals in 2015. She had a cough, heart trouble and great pains in her head when she stayed at the places covered with Wi-Fi signals.Rose has tried many ways to keep away from Wi-Fi signals. In the past six months, she either slept in her car or in tent which she had put up in the woodland and in the fields. She even tried sleeping in a shed（棚子）. Being completely tired, Rose had no choice but to quit her job and moved 370 kilometers away from her home to avoid Wi-Fi signals, but failed. Because of the hard life, she got a stomach problem.She is now living in a small house in the rural（乡下的）area in England. There are far fewer Wi-Fi signals. However, the house, which belongs to her friend, will be sold to others, so she has to move again soon.Rose is planning to move to a more rural area. She is also planning to buy a camper van (野营车）so that she can drive away from Wi-Fi signals whenever she is feeling uncomfortable. As she can not work to make money, she has to raise money online. She is hoping to raise 15,000 pounds. So far, she has raised over 1,600 pounds. She still has a long way to go.1．Which is NOT Rose's allergic symptom(症状）?A．Cough. B．Heart trouble. C．Headache. D．Stomachache.2．What did Rose do to keep away from Wi-Fi signals?A．She slept in tent in the woodland.B．She bought a small house in the countryside.C．She moved to a more rural area.D．She bought a camper van.3．What does the underlined word "quit" in Paragraph 3 mean?A．leave B．begin C．change D．continue4．Why does Rose have to move again soon?A．Because she wants to move to a new place.B．Because her friend decided to sell the house.C．Because she tries to find a job in a more rural area.D．Because the place she lives in is near the Wi-Fi signals.D16、I remember reading a story once about a man who found a bag with a lot of clay (泥土) balls by the seashore. They didn’t look like much, but they intrigued (激起……的兴趣) the man so he took the bag with him.As he walked along the beach, to pass the time, he would throw the clay balls one at a time out into the ocean as far as he could throw.He thought little about it until he dropped one of the balls and it broke open on a rock. Inside was a beautiful, precious stone (宝石) . Excited, the man started breaking open the remaining clay balls. Each contained a similar treasure. He found thousands of dollars worth of jewels (珠宝) in the 20 or so clay balls he had left. Then it struck him.He had been on the beach for a long time. He had thrown maybe 50 or 60 of the clay balls with their hidden treasure into the ocean waves. Instead of thousands of dollars in treasure, he could have had tens of thousand, but he just threw it all away.You know sometimes, it’s like that with people, we look at someone, maybe even ourselves, and we see the external (外部的) clay vessel. It doesn’t look like much from the outside. It isn’t always beautiful, so we discount（不重视，不理会）it, we see that person as less important than someone more beautiful or well-known or wealthy.There is a treasure in each and every one of us. If we take the time to get to know that person, and if we ask God to show us that person the way He sees him, then________________________________________.1．（小题1）Why did the man throw the clay balls into the ocean?A．Because he wanted to exercise.B．Because he wanted to kill time.C．Because the balls were too heavy.D．Because he wanted to show he was rich.2．（小题2）It is clear that _______.A．the man was a foolB．the man would know people betterC．the man got tens of thousands of dollarsD．the man have got more money3．（小题3）The underline sentence means that _______.A．we will see the sunshineB．we will see a beautiful jewelC．we will find the inner(内在的) beautyD．we will find the external(外部的) beauty4．（小题4）From this passage we can learn _______.A．we should break everything we find to look for jewelsB．everything is more beautiful inside than outsideC．everything ugly in appearance (外貌) must be beautiful insideD．we can’t judge (判断) things or people only by their appearanceE17、Bees have very small brains. Still, they are very intelligent. Scientists at Queen Mary University of London did an experiment with bees. It shows that bees can learn something new to gain reward(奖励). Then they can teach other bees to do the same. And that’s not all they can do. Olli Luokola was one of the sci entists who worded on the study. He said that the bees did not just copy what they saw. They actually improved on what they were learning. “This is of course amazing for small-brained insects,” he said. He added that it is even harder for humans to improve on something they learned by copying others.For the experiment, the bees had to move a yellow ball into the center of a platform(平台). First, the scientists showed the bees how to do it. When the ball got into the center, the scientists added sugar water to reward the subjects. The bees learned that the rewards came when the ball was put in the right place. They got better and better at moving the balls. Then, they got more of the reward. After a while, they began to move the balls by themselves.The scientists tried something else. They put the trained bees on a platform with bees that were not trained.After watching the trained bees once, the untrained bees learned how to do it too. They didn’t just copy the behavior, though. The new bees also improved on the action；They chose balls closer to themselves. All brains-in people and people-have neurons(神经元) let you think. Scientist Reese Halter says bees are “highly intelligent creatures,” even though they have far fewer neutrons than humans. Halter explained that bees talk to each other with their bodies, but not like what we do. They use their bodies instead of words. They butt heads, bump into each other and they even dance. Luokola said scientists used to think that the smaller the brain, the less intelligent the animal! But this study proves(证明)that is not true.1．The word “experiment” in the passage is most probably ______.A．a medical program B．a scientific testC．an animal story D．a biology expert2．According to paragraph 1, which of the following is TRUE about study?A．It helps humans to get better at something by copying.B．It teaches bees to copy what they saw and do the same.C．It shows bees can learn something new to gain a reward.D．It trains the bees how to move a ball to the right place.3．Paragraph 2 mainly talks about______.A．what kind of balls bees movedB．why scientists help bees to get a rewardC．where bees moved the ballsD．how bees are trained to move the balls4．From paragraph 3, we can learn that scientists______.A．have always believed that bees are highly intelligentB．explain that bees talk to each other in body languagesC．have questioned whether the study’s results are correctedD．explain that bees are unable to learn from one another5．What is the main idea of this passage?A．Bees are very intelligent insects though they have tiny brains.B．Bees can talk by bumping into one another and even dancing.C．Bees can copy a behavior they see but hardly improve upon it.D．Bees are smart enough to get a reward without moving a ball.F18、Susan Boyle was born as the ninth child in a Catholic family. She suffered from learning disabilities ever since her birth because of her mother’s poor health.School was difficult for Susan and she was bulled(凌辱) because of her different behaviour. Her siblings, who were much older, had life experiences that were unknown to their little sister. From the time of her birth, Susan was a screamer. The only really safe place that she would use as a repeat was her bedroom. There she would hang posters of her musical heroes on the walls and sing popular music into a hairbrush that she pretended was a microphone.One by one her brothers and sisters moved away from home and then Susan’s father died. This left her alone with an old mother and a cat. She tried volunteer work. Her best state of mind, however, was found when she was singing and so she would regularly join others in karaoke or pubs where she could show her skills and receive appreciation(欣赏)from the crowd.When Susan announced at Christmas that she was p lanning to take part in the Britain’s Got Talent competition, her brothers and sisters tried to discourage her. It was a wonder that she was even able to do the audition(试唱)considering the troubles she faced just physically getting to the right place.The Woman I Was Born to Be is a beautiful story written in the simple but humorous voice of the author, Susan Boyle. She tells her story from birth to the present in an interesting and educational manner.I love this book ! In fact, I read the whole thing in one day! There is something in the stories that not only teaches the reader but also encourage us to reach for our dreams—no matter how impossible they may seem to be!1．What does the underlined part “Her siblings” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．Susan’s parent s B．Susan’s friendC．Susan’s classmates D．Susan’s brothers and sisters2．What can we learn about Susan from Paragraph 3?A．She liked being alone B．She was good at singingC．She had various hobbies D．She disliked volunteer work.3．We learn that the book The Woman I Was Born to Be_______.A．is based on Susan’s life storiesB．is written to educate readersC．is very sad to readD．is difficult to read4．What does the author probably think of Susan’s life stories?A．Encouraging B．DiscouragingC．Worried D．BoringⅤ.书面表达19、第二部分书面表达上星期，学校就学生的作业量问题要求各班召开家长会进行讨论。
