Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. I got blisters (水泡) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration (合作) and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie (大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it. We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project.That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knew that when we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.(1).What seemed to be the TV directors' first reaction to the garden?A.They were excited.B.They were surprised.C.They were worried.D.They were uninterested.(2).What is special about the garden?A.Weeds were allowed to spread naturally.B.The grass grew, faster than common grass.C.The seeds came from the plants of a prairie.D.Underground water was used for the plants.(3).What does the underlined word "that" refer to in the last paragraph?A.We got blisters on our hands.B.Our hard work was worthwhile.C.The garden would be famous.D.The project would be finished.(4).How did the author feel about the project?A.Annoyed.B.Curious.C.Proud.D.Regretful.3、Children who use screens for seven hours or more a day are showing signs that their brain cortex（大脑皮层）is thinning prematurely（过早地）, according to a new major US study.The ongoing $300 million research is funded by the National Institute of Health and shows results of the effects of technology on children. The aim of the study, called Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development, is also to show how screen time affects emotional development and mental health. The researchers also determined that children who spend more than two hours of daily screen time score lower on thinking and language tests.Researchers made the early findings by scanning the brains of 4, 500 children.The brain cortex is the outermost layer of neural（神经中枢的）tissue that processes information from the physical world. It is critical for cognitive functions such as perception（直觉）, language, memory and consciousness but thins as we mature into old age.Though the difference was significant from participants who spent less time using smart devices, the study director cautioned against drawing a conclusion.Dr. Gaya Dowling, an NIH doctor working on the project, cautioned against drawing a conclusion because they aren’t completely sure it’s being caused by the increased use of modern technology. They won’t be able to draw a definitive outcome until they follow them over the course of several years.Dr. Dowling said: “It won’t be until we follow them over time that we will see if there are outcomes that are associated with the differences that we’re seeing in this single snapshot.”A 2014 study showed that there is a direct correlation between the thickness of the brain cortex and IQ score. The cortex begins to thin after the age of five or six as part of the normal aging process.The findings showed that people with a significant increase in IQ did not have the expected cortical thinning and people with a significant decrease in IQ had exaggerated（夸张）cortical（皮质的）thinning.A major data release of the initial data is scheduled for early 2019.1. What belongs to the findings of the new major US study?A. Screen time can result in a smaller brain.B. The brain cortex gets thinner as we mature into old age.C. Too much exposure to screen can lead to a poorer health.D. Children who are interested in computer are academically poor.2. Why is Dr Gaya Dowling against drawing a conclusion?A. There are some doubts about their findings.B. He thinks that further study is needed.C. The number of the participants is not large enough.D. They should ask for the government’s permission.3. What is the finding of the 2014 study?A. The brain cortex has much to do with IQ score.B. The brain cortex’s thickness is determined by IQ.C. Different people have different cortical thinning.D. Aging is a natural process for creatures.4. What will probably happen when a person reaches the age of five or six?A. His IQ score will get higher and higher.B. He will be more addicted to modern technology.C. He will show more interest in modern technology.D. His brain cortex will become thinner and thinner.4、What would you like to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? An astronaut? What do you need to do to achieve your dream job?Perhaps you think that studying well and then going on to work hard will get you the successful career you want. We are constantly taught that our hard work will eventually pay off.But a government survey has shown that hard work is not the only thing that will help you to move up the ladder. Two thirds of people believe that who you know matters more than what you know when it comes to social activity. So are the connections that you have more important than your education?Seventy-six percent of the people in the survey believed that family background is important in influencing your chances of success. They believe that if you are privileged from birth, you are more likely to have a successful career, especially if your family is wealthy.Even if you don't have a privileged background, the people you know can still make a difference to your career. Networking is a skill which is encouraged by many career advisers. Some companies run networking workshops to try and encourage staff to meet other people, to communicate and build relationships. It's a valuable skill.But the survey also showed something quite interesting. Although most people believed that networks are more important than education, many people put their own career success down to talent, rather than background. 41% of the people said that their parents' income had influenced their life, but at the same time, another 41% believed that they had achieved their own success.So which is more important, what you know or who you know? It seems that by working hard and making lots of connections, the answer may be that both are very important.1. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined part?A. Practice makes perfect.B. Nothing is impossible.C. Hope for the best.D. No pains, no gains.2. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. 76% of the people think social relationship matters most.B. 41% of the people believe parents' income is most important.C. 76% of the people think family background ranks first.D. 41% of the people believe they gained their own success.3. From the passage we can infer that the writer writes the article to__________.A. stress the importance of educationB. challenge the traditional beliefC. make lots of social connectionsD. encourage people to work hard4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. The Way to SuccessB. Keep your Dream in MindC. A Wealthy and Smooth CareerD. A Survey on People's Dreams5、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

parents of a naughty boy,who troubled his neighbors by pouring ink out of a window, resolved the dilemma immediately and wisely,for which citizens were loud in their praise.I applaud the couple for their approaches to dealing with the problem.To begin with,they responded actively to neighbours’complaints and spared no efforts to solve the problem responsibly,contributing to creating a harmonious community.Additionally,reasonable punishment made their son aware of his misbehavior,which reflected the value of education.No kids will not make mistakes during their growth.When children make mistakes,parents are supposed to act rationally,identifying the reasons behind them and opting for education methods accordingly.Plus,bear in mind that if punishment is necessary,children’s self-esteem should be maintained.It is therefore desirable not to use physical punishment of any sort but to assist them in mending their ways.听力原文Text1M:Have you got much homework?W:I’ve got some art.It doesn’t have to be handed in till Friday.My history essay has to be in tomorrow,though,so I’d better finish that this evening.Text2W:Did I tell you my brother’s working at Scooter—that new designer clothes place?M:Cool!I’d like to work there as a shop assistant myself.W:Well,he wanted to do that,but they only needed a security guard.So he was given that job instead.Text3W:The basketball game starts soon.M:You want to watch that?W:Well yeah…M:I am hoping to watch that documentary on animal communication.It’d be useful for my project,and you can watch the chat show you love after it.Text4M:The food’s great and isn’t expensive.W:Yes.This burger’s as delicious as it looks in the picture,but I thought it would be big.Text5M:I didn’t like the concert yesterday,mainly because the musicians hadn’t practiced enough.They were bad,I think.W:Really?I think they played well,but I’ve never seen some of those instruments before.M:It must be interesting to play something new,I guess.Text6M:These sports shoes are my size,but they only have them in green.That wouldn’t be my first choice of color,but I’ll try them on and see how they feel—that’s the most important thing.My old ones were a bit tight.W:Those look good on you—the color’s really stylish,but most students at our school are wearing black ones these days.M:Yes,especially the boys in your class.Anyway,these are made from a new kind of material and feel really light.They’re great.I hope I’ve got enough money.W:Don’t worry.My mum just gave me some money.I can lend it to you.Text7M:I really enjoyed that.I came so close to getting the ball in the net a few times.W:If you all play as well as that in every game,you should start actually beating some of the other teams.M:I hope so.We’ve all trained really hard this season,and our new coach has made a big difference.I think I probably played better than usual because Mum and Dad could both get here for once.I’m always cheerful when they do.W:Well I’m sure they enjoyed it as much as I did.Text8M:Thank you for taking me camping with you last weekend,Aunt Lizzie.W:It was great,especially when we went swimming.It was too windy to swim in the sea,but the lake was great anyway.Perhaps next time we can try the river.M:Sleeping in a tent was new for me.I was worried about it on the first night,but I soon found out how exciting it is!My brother was very unhappy that he couldn’t come with us.W:The campsite was quite big,but it’s a pity there was nowhere to buy food and things.And the showers there were a bit dirty,but OK.Text9M:Jasmine,what made you decide to go on a flying experience day?W:A friend of mine tried it.Even though she’d been frightened,she told me she’d noticed her house while she was up there.That made me want to look for mine,too.It wasn’t like I wanted to fly planes professionally or anything.M:How was your flying instructor?W:She was brilliant.I’d always imagined flying instructors would be cool and quiet people.Jana was like that before we took off but quite different in the air.She chatted with me and made me laugh by saying funny things—she said afterwards she did it to help people relax.M:And what about the flight?W:It was one of the most exciting things I’ve ever done,although I was kind of expecting that.When we landed,it felt like we’d been up there for hours,although it was only about30 minutes in reality.In some of the online reviews,people said they were tired afterwards,but I was just the opposite.And it made me want to try other experience days like horse riding.First on my list,though,would be driving a sports car,and after that would come deep-sea fishing.Text10W:Hello,everyone!I’d like to tell you about this wonderful acting club I joined recently.The best thing about it is the teacher,Alice Fisher,and she’s appearing in a play at the big theater in town now.She plays a policewoman in that,but you’ll probably know her better as the farmer in the series Green Valley that was on last year.She’s worked as a professional theater actor for about10years.As well as having three years’experience of appearing in serious drama,she’s spent seven years working in comedy productions,so she has lots of different talents.The classes are always fun and are split into two sections.In the first part,rather than practicinganything to do with movement of the body,we focus instead on how to control the voice as an actor.In the second part,we practice our performance skills.At the moment,we’re practicing for a play,The Passenger,which will be on at the Town Theater soon.We’re hoping that this latest one will be as popular as the last production the club did,which was called Reality.We’ve got our last practice for the new play on July13th,with audiences able to come and see it from July20th for one week.。

Trees can lower summer daytime temperatures by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit, according to arecent study. But tree cover in US cities is shrinking (缩减). A study published last year by the US Forest Service found that we lost 36 million trees annually from urban and rural communities over a five-year period. “If we continue on this path, cities will become warmer, more polluted and generally unhealthier for inhabitants,” said David Nowak, a senior US Forest Service scientist and co-author of the study. Nowak says there are many reasons why our tree cover is declining, including hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, insects and disease. But the one reason for tree loss that humans can control is sensible development.Nowak says there is a downside to trees too, such as pollen allergy (花粉过敏) or large tailing branches in storms, and people don’t like sweeping leaves. But, he says, there are ways cities and counties can manage trees to help communities thrive (繁荣). Urban forests especially need our help to replace fallen trees. Unlike rural areas, it is very difficult for trees to repopulate themselves in a city environment with so much pavement and asphalt (沥青). “A lot of our native trees can’t actually find a place to drop a seed so they can regenerate,” explains Greg Levine, co-executivedirector of Trees Atlanta. “That’s why the community has to go in and actually plant a tree because the areas just aren’t natural anymore.”Nowak says the first step is caring for the trees on your own property (财产). “We think we pay for our house, and sowe must maintain it. But because we don’t pay for nature, we don’t need to. And that’s not necessarily true.”4. Why does the author mention “trees can lower summer daytime temperatures”?A. To tell the temperatures in summer are high.B. To explain the reason of tree loss.C. To tell trees are helpful.D. To introduce the topic.5. How can humans control tree loss according to Nowak?A. Develop cities in reasonable ways.B. Prevent fires form damaging trees.C. Improve climate to let trees grow.D. Decrease insects in cities.6. Why do forests in cities need our help?A. Because trees don’t grow in a city environment.B. Because native trees don’t drop seeds any more.C. Because trees in urban areas can’t regenerate naturally.D. Because humans want to plant more trees.7. What is the purpose of this passage?A. Describe the importance of trees in cities.B. Appeal people to protect trees in their surroundings.C. Ask people to plant trees with the author.D. Show the number of trees in theUSis declining.CKids ages 6 to13 inCape Town,South Africa, really do dig learning at school! With the help of the Earthchild Project, which is offered in schools in two townships, students make worm(蠕虫) farms. The worms break down food waste and make the soil richer. Kids grow seedlings(幼苗) in containers and learn about the importance of good nutrition.The school program also offers yoga(瑜伽). Teachers find that the exercises help students focus better. The students enjoy Earthchild activities. “The children gets so excited”, says teacher Vuyelwa Rola.“The society we are in has a lot of noise. When students are taking part in the Earthchild Project, they feel calm.”Director Janna Kretzmar came up with the idea for the project in 2005. She read about schools inIndiathat involved kids in yoga and learning outside the classroom. She developed the Earthchild Project to offer similar activities inCape Townschools.“We hope the Earthchild Project can help students find solutions to all the challenges they are facing in the world today,” Kretzmar said. “The best place to create change is with the youth, through education.”The Earthchild Project combines schoolwork with hiking, gardening, healthy living, and yoga. “We need more than just math and science to become happy, healthy, inspired, and active citizens of our communities,” says Kretzmar. In some communities inCape Town, children live in poverty. They must walk long distances to get clean drinking water. Life is hard. But according to the Earthchild Project’s Carly Appleby, the project works to give hope to every child. “Students who have hope,” she says, “aim for bigger goals”.8. What do students benefit from yoga?A. It helps them calm down.B. It helps them concentrate.C. They can learn some living skills.D. They can learn about the importance of nutrition.9. What are students’ attitude towards the Earthchild Project?A. Uncaring.B. Doubtful.C. Supportive.D. Negative.10. What do you know about the Earthchild Project?A. It was founded in 2005.B. It only offers outside activities.C. The idea came up by Vuyelwa Rola.D. It is aimed at helping students find solutions to challenges.11. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Hard Life inSouth Africa.B. Students’ school life inCape Town.C. Hope from Earthchild Project inCape Town.D. The differences between traditional lessons and Earthchild Project.DVietnammade preparations for theLunar New Year with a fish release on Thursday. The tradition involves releasing fish called carps into rivers and lakes in the country a week before the holiday known as Tet officially begins.The tradition comes from an ancient story of three “Kitchen Gods”. The three, two males and a female, take a ride on the brightly color1 ed carp at the end of the year. They go to Heaven to meet with the Jade Emperor, the God who rules there. The “Kitchen Gods” report news about the families they represent to seek the emperor's care and protection. Their efforts help to keep the kitchen fires burning, and families happy and healthy.As the Gods go to Heaven, families clean their houses in preparation to celebrate Tet. A clean house, Vietnamese believe, will bring luck in the new year. On Lunar New Year's Eve, the Gods will return to Earth and their duties in the kitchen of the house.Thursday's event inVietnamthis year was more controlled than ever before because of COVID-19. It is spreading in several northern areas of the country. However,Vietnamhas increased contact examination, mass testing, and quarantine measures to slow the spread. The aggressive action has limited infections and deaths inthe country.“Vietnamese will still follow the tradition of releasing the fish, but COVID-19 has made people keep a safe distance,” said Tran Van Toi as he released a carp from a plastic bag atHanoi'sWestLake.This year, due to COVID-19, there were fewer people releasing fish there, but there was a major change in attitude towards plastic bags. After years of persuasion, now they don't throw the plastic bags into the water anymore but collect them to be recycled.12. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. Kitchen fires inVietnam.B. Traditional customs ofVietnam.C. A report on family activities inVietnam.D. A tale about Vietnamese Lunar New Year.13. What's the author's attitude towards theVietnam's actions to control COVID-19?A. Critical.B. Positive.C. Doubtful.D. Unconcerned.14. What was the change about fish release inVietnamthis year?A. It required few lake fish.B. It was more interesting and diverse.C. It was more environmentally friendly.D. It required more people and plastic bags.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. Vietnamese Respect Gods During the Festive TimeB. Vietnamese Mark Lunar New Year with Fish ReleaseC. Vietnamese Lunar New Year Celebrations Are FunnyD. Traditional Lunar New Year Promotes Animal Protection第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
