A lot of people in and around the city took part in it.It was Sunday. There were some clouds in the sky in the early morning but the sun was shining when the race began. Eighteen boys and girls in my class, as well as four of my teachers, gathered on the south side of Luohe River to take part in the marathon. It was the first time that we had been in a marathon. We were excited and had fun running with people. We had to run 10 km. It was not a race, but an event to challenge ourselves. We helped each other during the run. When someone fell behind, others would go to encourage him or her not to give up. Tired but happy, all of us made it in about 90 minutes.The marathon is like life, in which we can choose whether or not to keep going when we feel tired or meet difficulties. The biggest enemy(敌人) is ourselves, whom we should fight with and defeat(打败). We never know what will happen in the future, but what we can do is to try our best. If we can keep running, success will belong to us, because it's impossible to defeat a person who never gives up.Challenges make life interesting and meaningful. This very first marathon will always be remembered as an unforgettable event in my life.4. How many people took part in the race in our school?A.Four.B.Fourteen.C.Eighteen.D.Twenty-two.5.

Recently my class had a field trip to the Cadbury Chocolate Factory in Toronto, Canada.We were divided into 10 groups and visited an old building. The guide first explained the history of the factory. Then we got some earbuds(耳塞) to protect our ears from the noise of the machines. We also needed to wear disposable(一次性的) lab clothes and hairnets(发网) to make sure we didn't dirty their work area.After these preparations, we went upstairs and entered the chocolate-making area. The floorwas filled up with many machines. Each machine had a different job. The whole floor only had two people working, because machines did most of the work. Next, the guide explained the history of chocolate making. There was a picture of the factory 100 years ago, and there were more than 1,000 people working in the factory. But now the factory is very different. It's amazing how technology is changing people's life.Later, we saw the chocolate-making process. We got a cocoa bean, some powdered(粉状的) chocolate and a final chocolate product. I opened the cocoa bean and tasted it. It tasted bitter, kind of like dark chocolate. It is the raw material used to make chocolate. The powdered chocolate tasted good already. It is a combination of cocoa beans, milk and sugar. The final product tasted delicious.Finally, we bought some chocolate at a shop in the factory. It was at a very low price. This field trip taught me how important technology is.

That day when he was working in the field, the shocked horse ran past him. Without thinking, he rushed out and controlled it. He didn't know it was the Queen's horse and never expected to get a gift. But he still felt happy for getting one.Two of the queen's men appeared. One carried a mirror. Red jewels(珠宝) shone on top of the mirror's silver frame(框架). The other carried a wooden cage with a chicken inside it.“Only one gift can be yours,” the queen said. “Choose wisely.”“That's easy,” Peter said. “I'll take the chicken.” Some of the queen's men laughed. It was clear that they thought he had made a foolish choice.“And why did you choose the chicken?” the queen asked. “Well, I don't know much about jewels,” Peter answered. “But I do know about chickens. The chicken will provide eggs for my family for a long while.”Queen Olivia smiled. “Then you did make a wise choice,” she said. “That mirror may look beautiful. But the jewels you see are only coloured glass, and the frame is painted silver. The chicken is much more valuable.” Peter took the chicken and bowed. “Thank you, yourmajesty.”“You are a smart child,” the queen added. “ I could use a smart boy to help take care of my horses. Would you like to take the job?”Peter smiled.“Thank you very much!” he said excitedly. A job at the castle paid well.

Its hometown is certainly China.At first, tea was considered as a kind of good thing that could make people awake so that they could study comfortably. Many knowledgeable people thought it was helpful for their study, because their minds could keep awake after drinking too much tea. During the Tang Dynasty, tea was sent to European countries first through the Silk Road.It was tea that made Chinese culture spread over in Western countries. The first book about tea was The Classic of Tea by Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty. In the book, he described all the tea cultures.However, the tea culture changed into a kind of new form. Many people could find something bad in it in the Song Dynasty. Many people spent much time on it instead of thinking aboutthe safety of their country. Between the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, plenty of people paid more attention to tea. People thought of it as the symbol of spirit.Nowadays, tea has become the most gentle and comfortable drink in France. It also becomes a helpful drink that is good for people's skin and health in England.

Now, a 19-year-old teenager can help you to solve this problem. He has invented a phone charger which uses energy fromyour own body to charge your phone.Hand Energy, the wonderful invention of the inventor Michael Vaga, allows you to charge your phone simply by shaking your hand, which starts the charger's gyroscope(陀螺仪) to produce electricity. And the electricity can then either be stored or used to charge a phone immediately.He said, “With each rotation(旋转) of your hand, the gyroscope's speed increases quickly and produces more power. The average speed of the gyroscope is about 5,000 rounds per minute. With this small charger, your physical energy can be turned into electrical energy and this means you can charge your phone.”Hand Energy can help you produce endless electricity. You can use it everywhere you want. It is especially useful for people who have to spend a long time in the wilds. What's more, it's friendly to the environment and helps you to exercise your wrists. It takes between 40 minutes and one hour to fully charge the batteries(电池) in the Hand Energy.The invention took Vaga a year to develop. Now, the inventor from Minsk, Belarus, is ready to put it into production and send out the creative convenient chargers. Its price is 99 euros (84 pounds).8.If we want to produce energy with the charger, we should .A.shake our handsB.move quicklyC.go to the wildD.charge our phones9.Who will be interested in the invention most?A.The teachers.B.The medical workers.C.The drivers.D.The field workers.10.It is not clear whether or not, according to the passage.A.the more you shake, the more power it producesB.the charger helps to protect the environmentC.we can buy the charger online in ChinaD.its price is 84 pounds11.Which could be the best title of the passage?A.A wonderful inventionB.A great inventorC.An interesting storyD.An exciting tripDHannay was nervous. His enemies were searching for him. All around him were grassy hills without trees. He had nowhere to hide. How could he escape?Hannay walked along the country road for a long time. Then he saw a road worker, who was working alone, fixing the road. Hannay could see the road worker was not feeling well. Hannay came up to him and said “How are you?”“My head hurts,” the road worker said, “I can't do it. I want to go home to bed. My daughter got married yesterday, and I drank a lot of wine with my friends. That's the problem!”Hannay agreed that he should be home in bed.“Yes, and I would be,” he replied, “but yesterday I received a message saying that the new surveyor was coming to look at my work. If he comes and finds me away, I'll be in trouble.”Suddenly Hannay had a bright idea—he could act as the road worker and get away from his enemies.“You go off to bed,” Hannay said. “I'll do your job until the new surveyor comes.”The road worker was pleased with his idea. He gave Hannay his hat and his old coat. Then he went home to sleep and perhaps to drink a bit more. Hannay put on the road worker's hat and coat and began to fix the road. About an hour later he heard a voice.“Are you the road worker?” it asked.It was the new surveyor. He was a young man with a clean face. He sat in a small car.Hannay said “yes”. The surveyor told him about some work he wanted him to do before he came by again and drove off. Hannay continued with his work.Then a village boy came by. “What has happened to the road worker?” he asked.“He stayed at home today,” Hannay replied. “He's sick.”At about midday, a large car came down the hill and stopped near Hannay. Three men got out of the car. Hannay's hearts beat fast. He knew his enemies were coming…12.What is this passage probably taken from?A.A history book.B.A travel book.C.A novel.D.A science book.13.Who did NOT come by while Hannay was working on the road?A.The surveyor.B.The road worker's daughter.C.Hannay's enemies.D.A village boy.14.What can we infer from the story?A.Hannay helped the road worker because he was warm-hearted.B.The grassy hills were perfect hiding places for Hannay.C.The surveyor had a lot of working experience.D.The village boy knew the road worker.15.What is the correct order of the story?①Hannay met a road worker who was not feeling well and offered to take over for him.②Hannay was worried because his enemies were following him.③A car stopped near Hannay and three men got out.④Hannay acted as the road worker when the surveyor came by.⑤The village boy wondered what had happened to the road worker.A.②→①→④→⑤→③B.②→①→④→③→⑤C.①→④→②→⑤→③D.①→④→②→③→⑤参考答案A [主旨大意] 本文是一篇应用文。

亲爱的同学：这份试卷将再次记录你的自信、沉着、智慧和收获，我们一直投给你信任的目光……小卷速测(六)B 阅读理解(限时:30分钟)A(NEW YORK) A French tourist was highly praised for saving a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didn't think twice before jumping into the cold East River. Tuesday's Daily News said the 29-year-old young man who left the spot quickly after bringing the girl to safety last Saturday.He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank near a museum. He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had jumped in after him.“I didn't think at all.” Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.”Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the bank when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he walked close to the river. Without thinking twice, he took off his coat and jumped into the water at once.“When he reached the girl, she seemed lifeless,”he said. Fortunately, when she was taken out of the water, she opened her eyes slowly.Anderson said his daughter fell off the bank while he was checking his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed clothes from onlookers(旁观者). Duret caught a bus with his girlfriend shortly after.The story happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn't realize his story had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the next morning.“I don't really think I'm a hero,” said Duret. “Anyone would do the same thing.”1.Why was Duret in New York?A.To meet his girlfriend.B.To work as an engineer.C.To spend his holiday.D.To visit the Andersons.2.What did Duret do shortly after the ambulance came?A.He was interviewed by a newspaper.B.He asked his girlfriend for his clothes.C.He went to the hospital in the ambulance.D.He went away from the spot quickly.3.When was Duret most probably found to be the very hero?A.The day when he left France.B.The next day when the girl was saved.C.The first day when he was in New York.D.The same day when he was interviewed.BAre you looking for some new and exciting places to take your kids to? Try some of these places: Visit art museums. They offer different kinds of activities to excite your kids' interest. Many offer workshops for making land-made pieces, traveling exhibitions, book signings by children's favorite writer, and even musical performances and other arts.Head to natural history museums. This is where kids can discover the past from dinosaur(恐龙) models to rock collections and pictures of stars in the sky. Also, ask what kind of workshops and educational programs are prepared for kids and any special things that are coming up.Go to a Youtheater. Look for one in your area offering plays for children and family visitors. Pre-show play shops are conducted(开设) by area artists and educators where kids can discover the secret about performing arts. Puppet(木偶) making and stage make-up(舞台化妆) are just two special offerings you mightfind.Try hands-on science. Visit one of the hands-on science museums around the country. These science play-lands are great fun for kids and adults alike. They'll keep your child active the whole day while pushing buttons(按钮), experimenting, and building. When everyone is tired, enjoy a fun family science show, commonly found in these museums.4.If a child is interested in animals and plants, he will probably visit .A.a YoutheaterB.an art museumC.a natural history museumD.a hands-on science museum5.Kids can at a Youtheater.A.look at rock collectionsB.see dinosaur modelsC.watch puppet makingD.give performances6.The underline phrase “hands-on science” in the last paragraph means .A.learning science by doing thingsB.science games designed by kidsC.a show of kids' science workD.reading science books7.This passage probably comes from .A.a science textbookB.a museum guideC.a tourist mapD.a news reportCMany kids help parents to do chores in the house. They may wash the dishes, put laundry away or take out the trash. In return, some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games.But some people don't think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Susie Walton, a parenting educator(育儿教育家) and family coach. She believes if kids get rewards, they will think thatwork isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. For example, kids won't sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will clean the floor if their parents reward them for it.“Every house is a team effort,” Walton said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family.

The floor was filled up with many machines. Each machine had a different job. The whole floor only had two people working, because machines did most of the work.

That day when he was working in the field, the shocked horse ran past him. Without thinking, he rushed out and controlled it. He didn't know it was the Queen's horse and never expected to get a gift. But he still felt happy for getting one.Two of the queen's men appeared. One carried a mirror. Red jewels(珠宝) shone on top of the mirror's silver frame(框架). The other carried a wooden cage with a chicken inside it.“Only one gift can be yours,” the queen said. “Choose wisely.”“That's easy,” Peter said. “I'll take the chicken.” Some of the queen's men laughed. It was clear that they thought he had made a foolish choice.“And why did you choose the chicken?” the queen asked. “Well, I don't know much about jewels,” Peter answered. “But I do know about chickens. The chicken will provide eggs for my family for a long while.”Queen Olivia smiled. “Then you did make a wise choice,” she said. “That mirror may look beautiful. But the jewels you see are only coloured glass, and the frame is painted silver. The chicken is much more valuable.” Peter took the chicken and bowed. “Thank you, your majesty.”“You are a smart child,” the queen added. “ I could use a smart boy to help take care of my horses.

But it could be difficult for them to remember faces that they've only seen once.However, studies have found that super recognizers have amazing face recognition skills. They can remember at least 80 percent of faces they've seen. At least one in 50 people are super recognizers, reported Daily Mail.Bournemouth University of UK recently carried out a study. They tried to find whether super recognizers have a different way to remember faces.They found that when these people look at faces, they spend more time looking at the persons' noses.Researchers also found that these people are not smarter than others. Their super ability usually only helps them recognize faces.important finding is that there are subtypes(子类型) of super recognition.Some super recognizers never forget faces. But for some, if you show pairs of faces to them at the same time, they can quickly decide whether the faces are of the same person or two different people.In fact, many super recognizers say they are good at “spotting”(认出) faces in a crowd.These subtypes of super recognition could be used in many areas of life. For example, the skills could be very useful at a passport control checkpoint. Super recognizers could also help the police spot known troublemakers, bad people or even missing people in crowds.8.

Throw them away or reuse them? How about eating them? An Indian company named EnviGreen has made a kind of bag with natural ingredients. The bags look just like plastic ones, but they can be broken down in a few seconds. They bring no harm to the environment. People can even eat them.EnviGreen Founder Ashwath Hedge spent four years doing experiments with a combination of 12 natural ingredients. They include potatoes, corn, vegetable oil and bananas. He made the ingredients into liquid (液体) and used the liquid to make the bag.Although an EnviGreen bag is about 35 percent more expensive than a common plastic bag, it has many advantages. According to The Wall Street Journal, it takes 1,000 years for common plastic bags to break down. But an EnviGreen bag can naturally break down in less than 180 days. It also breaks down in less than a day in water, and in about 15 seconds in boiling water. Hedge was happy to show it in his interview. In the interview, he put an EnviGreen bag in water and ate it with a smile.According to India's Minister of State for Atmosphere, Forest and Weather Change, the country produces more than 15,000 tons of plastic waste every day.

Each day they are carefully planned by mission(任务) control. The 12-hour working day on the International Space Station(ISS) begins with a wake-up call. After a quick wash with a wet cloth, the crew(全体乘务员) have breakfast and run through the jobs for the day.Space stations are like large houses that need much care and attention. Much of the crew's time is spent preparing and carrying out scientific experiments.At least two hours each day is spent on exercise. It is necessary to keep the crew healthy. In some ways, living in a space station is like being on a desert island. A crew of two or three astronauts has to survive far from home for weeks or months.If their mission is to be a success, they have to learn to live and work together as a team. Crew members have to learn to share jobs such as cleaning and repairs. They also have to talk about problems and discuss how to deal with them.Astronauts first feel the influence of weightlessness(失重) when the rocket engines are turned off. Straight away, they begin to float(漂浮), held down only by seat belts. Weightlessness allows astronauts to appear super strong. They can lift objects that would be far too heavy to move on the earth.Without the influence of gravity(重力), astronauts become weak. To stay fit, they have to exercise several hours each day. In a space station, there is no up or down. There is no difference between a floor and a ceiling(天花板). This can make astronauts feel sick until they get used to this strange environment.4.Astronauts on the International Space Station work for hours every day.A.8B.10C.11D.125.What is the crew's time mainly used for?A.Exercising.B.Doing scientific experiments.C.Reading.D.Connecting with the ground.6.Which of the following is TRUE?A.Astronauts need to work as a team.B.Weightlessness makes astronauts become strong.C.There are up and down in a space station.D.Astronauts exercise one hour each day.7.What's the best title for the passage?A.Astronauts' Lives in the Space StationB.The Influence of WeightlessnessC.How to Live in the Space StationD.How to Exercise in the Space StationCAmerican schools are different from those in China. In America, at the beginning of the term, students must choose their courses and teachers first. While in China, students usually have no chances to choose their courses and teachers.Selecting(选择) is very important for students in America. So at the first term, don't select too many courses, or you'll feel very nervous and it may influence your study. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, time planning, marks and textbooks. At the same time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers have different teaching methods. If the teacher is called “killer” by the last grade, many students will give up choosing him. Because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades.There is another thing after you select the course and the teacher. How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library. You must get ready before class. In class, discussing is very important. The teacher encourages students to ask questions or show their ideas. They don't usually ask you to sit well. Instead they allow you to sit or stand everywhere you like. They don't give you much homework to do. You can learn some knowledge and do exercises by yourself. So in American schools, you must do almost all things yourself.8.You'd better not select too many courses at the first term because .A.you will feel worriedB.there is not enough timeC.teachers always give too much homeworkD.some subjects are too difficult9.Which of the following is NOT true about a “killer”?A.Leave too much homework.B.Give too low grades in the exam.C.Always be late for class.D.Give too many exams.10.Which of the following is NOT true?A.The textbooks are always very expensive in America.B.Some students borrow textbooks from the school library to save money.C.The teacher encourages students to discuss in class.D.Students must take their own seats in class.11.What's the best title of the passage?A.The Wonderful American ClassB.The Difference between American and Chinese SchoolsC.The Study Method of American StudentsD.Teachers Play an Important Role in AmericanSchoolsDOn Miriam Gardsbane's 9th birthday two years ago, her aunt gave money to a group that cares for elephants. The woman, who lives in Kenya, told the group she was giving the money tocelebrate Miriam's birthday. Miriam and her mother then visited Africa to learn how that money was helping to support elephants. Miriam fell in love with the animals and wanted to help save them.A few months after visiting Africa, Miriam watched How I Became an Elephant, a documentary about the mistreatment of elephants in Thailand, and a young girl's campaign to save them. Miriam decided to make her own effort to raise money to save elephants.Last year, Miriam created a group called They Deserve to Be Free after seeing a programme that showed young elephants being mistreated in Thailand.She asked her friends to give money to the park rather than giving her birthday gifts. She made and sold baked goods, and made signs about elephant abuse.She also created a plan to make and sell clay elephants. She asked her art teacher to help her make the elephants.Miriam says she is lucky because her mother and her art teacher support her. Her father says Miriam is serious about helping the animals. He says that what her daughter is doing is making her a little bit more mature.Miriam now knows a lot more about animals and what is happening to them.She is proud of her work, and is happy that she can help elephants.

小卷速测(六)B 阅读理解(限时:30分钟)A(NEW YORK) A French tourist was highly praised for saving a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didn't think twice before jumping into the cold East River. Tuesday's Daily News said the 29-year-old young man who left the spot quickly after bringing the girl to safety last Saturday.He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank near a museum. He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had jumped in after him.“I didn't think at all.” Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.”Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the bank when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he walked close to the river. Without thinking twice, he took off his coat and jumped into the water at once.“When he reached the girl, she seemed lifeless,”he said. Fortunately, when she was taken out of the water, she opened her eyes slowly.Anderson said his daughter fell off the bank while he was checking his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed clothes from onlookers(旁观者). Duret caught a bus with his girlfriend shortly after.The story happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn't realize his story had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the next morning.“I don't really think I'm a hero,” said Duret. “Anyone would do the same thing.”1.Why was Duret in New York?A.To meet his girlfriend.B.To work as an engineer.C.To spend his holiday.D.To visit the Andersons.2.What did Duret do shortly after the ambulance came?A.He was interviewed by a newspaper.B.He asked his girlfriend for his clothes.C.He went to the hospital in the ambulance.D.He went away from the spot quickly.3.When was Duret most probably found to be the very hero?A.The day when he left France.B.The next day when the girl was saved.C.The first day when he was in New York.D.The same day when he was interviewed.BAre you looking for some new and exciting places to take your kids to? Try some of these places: Visit art museums. They offer different kinds of activities to excite your kids' interest. Many offer workshops for making land-made pieces, traveling exhibitions, book signings by children's favorite writer, and even musical performances and other arts.Head to natural history museums. This is where kids can discover the past from dinosaur(恐龙) models to rock collections and pictures of stars in the sky. Also, ask what kind of workshops and educational programs are prepared for kids and any special things that are coming up.Go to a Youtheater. Look for one in your area offering plays for children and family visitors. Pre-show play shops are conducted(开设) by area artists and educators where kids can discover the secret about performing arts. Puppet(木偶) making and stage make-up(舞台化妆) are just two special offerings you might find.Try hands-on science. Visit one of the hands-on science museums around the country. These science play-lands are great fun for kids and adults alike. They'll keep your child active the whole day whilepushing buttons(按钮), experimenting, and building. When everyone is tired, enjoy a fun family science show, commonly found in these museums.4.If a child is interested in animals and plants, he will probably visit .A.a YoutheaterB.an art museumC.a natural history museumD.a hands-on science museum5.Kids can at a Youtheater.A.look at rock collectionsB.see dinosaur modelsC.watch puppet makingD.give performances6.The underline phrase “hands-on science” in the last paragraph means .A.learning science by doing thingsB.science games designed by kidsC.a show of kids' science workD.reading science books7.This passage probably comes from .A.a science textbookB.a museum guideC.a tourist mapD.a news reportCMany kids help parents to do chores in the house. They may wash the dishes, put laundry away or take out the trash. In return, some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games.But some people don't think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Susie Walton, a parenting educator(育儿教育家) and family coach. She believes if kids get rewards, they will think that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. For example, kids won't sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will clean the floor if their parents reward them for it.“Every house is a team effort,” Walton said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have a responsibility to keep our home clean.”Other people hold different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards encourage kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn about how we need to work to make money.Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital(数字的)gifts that can be used either online or in life.With the app ChoreMonster, kids can get digital points after doing chores. Kids can exchange their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall.“Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards, ” says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive power to make them do chores.”8. According to the passage, some children get rewards from their parents because .A.they get high marks in the examB.they help their parents do some houseworkC.they never play computer gamesD.they have good habits in their daily life9. According to Susie Walton, .A.kids should be rewarded for doing choresB.parents decide what kids can do for the familyC.kids should help their parents do some chores without payingD.kids can get extra computer time for doing chores10. Kids can use apps to .A.help them do choresB.get real rewardsC.change their moodsD.get digital points11. What is the best title of the passage?A.How to do chores around homeB.Should kids get rewards to do chores?C.Kids shouldn't do choresD.Kids should get rewards from their parentsDTravelling is a good way to spend some time with your family and friends.

But Luke, a 14-year-old boy, makes friends with the cute animal!In the ice fields of Northern Canada, Luke finds a little polar bear called Nanuk. The bear can't find its mother. So Luke wants to help it. Muktuk is an Inuit(因纽特人) guide, and he knows where the polar bear lives. He agrees to help Luke. However, a floating(漂浮的) iceberg(冰山) divides them. Luke has to protect himself and the bear from the dangers of the wild.This is the story of a movie called Midnight Sun(《北极大冒险》). It was released(发行) in Chinese cinemas on December 30.It is from British-Canadian director Roger Spottiswoode, who is best known for the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies.As you can imagine, it is not easy to shoot a movie in such an icy environment. Canadian actor Dakota Goyo, 14, plays the boy. Due to cold weather, he got injured and couldn't even say some of his lines(台词).The cute polar bear Nanuk was born in China. It flew in an airplane for 45 hours from Beijing to Canada.Besides the friendship, the movie is about growth, according to 163 Entertainment(娱乐). Though Luke's mother doesn't understand him, Luke still continues to help Nanuk. He teaches himself to ride a snowmobile. Gradually, as he grows up, he and his mother begin to understand each other.4.Where does the story take place?A. In the North Pole(北极).B. In Northern Canada.C. On a floating iceberg.D. In a Chinese cinema.5.What is Roger Spottiswoode famous for?A.The story of a polar bear.B.His British grandparents.C.The James Bond films.D.The hard work for the film.6.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Dakota Goyo(the actor) is the same age as Luke(the hero).B.The polar bear Nanuk was born in Canada.C.The boy actor didn't get hurt in the cold weather.D.The story doesn't have a happy ending.7.What can you do with a snowmobile?A.You can play with it as a toy.B.You can make a call with it in snow.C.You can carry snow with it.D.You can drive it around in the snow.CWhen did you last say “I love you” to your father? If you can't remember, then you can get the chance this Father's Day on June 18.Generally compared to a mother's gentle love, a father represents(代表) qualities like independence(独立), confidence, courage and adventure.Also, a caring father can help their children get along with others, according to a study on Live Science. Fathers not only lead their children into their social circle but also teach them how to act and control their feelings.For example, Microsoft founder Bill Gates was quiet and didn't like to talk with others when he was a little kid. So his father often held family parties and let Bill play games with family members. “Games like soccer and swimming seemed to be silly at that time but they improved my ability of leading and cooperating(合作),” Gates once said in an interview with US Fortune magazine.US actor Will Smith learned important lessons from small things taught by his father. His father once planned to pull down a wall of their shop and rebuild it. But little Will thought it was impossible. After a year and a half, they did it. “You don't try to build a wall. You are going to lay a brick(砖) every day. And soon you have a wall,” he said on the TV show Charlie Rose.“One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters,” British poet George Herbert(1593—1632) once said. Do you agree?8.What chance can you get on the coming Father's Day?A.To express love to your father.B.To remember your father's love.C.To celebrate and relax yourself.D.To get mountains of presents.9.Which of the following belongs to a father's qualities?A.Independence, confidence, courage and gentle love.B.Confidence, patience, adventure and courage.C.Independence, confidence, courage and adventure.D.Confidence, courage, adventure and gentle love.10.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.Bill Gates changed much with the help of his father.B.Bill Gates liked parties very much when he was young.C.Soccer and swimming were popular a long time ago.D.A child should be quiet no matter where he or she is.11.What does the sentence “One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters” mean?A.The growth of a child needs 100 schoolmasters.B.One father is more important than 100 schoolmasters.C.A father plays an important role in kids' growing.D.Schoolmasters mean nothing to a child's growth.DTrinity Faith Moran, the 11-year-old fifth grader who stole the spotlight at Naeem Khan Fall 2016 Runway Show, has died.Stylish Mary Alice Stephenson, who worked with Khan to dress Trinity for the catwalk, announced the sad news on Instagram.“My heart is broken. It is with great sorrow that I share this news with you today.

But my husband, Larry, and I were packing to move from New York to Seattle. Our house was in total mess. Supper dishes sat on the kitchen table. Toys lay everywhere. I purposelessly picked things up and put them down. Mother's crying went through my head again and again.Larry called some friends to tell them what had happened.

He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had jumped in after him.“I didn't think at all.” Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.”Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the bank when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he walked close to the river. Without thinking twice, he took off his coat and jumped into the water at once.“When he reached the girl, she seemed lifeless,”he said. Fortunately, when she was taken out of the water, she opened her eyes slowly.Anderson said his daughter fell off the bank while he was checking his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed clothes from onlookers(旁观者). Duret caught a bus with his girlfriend shortly after.The story happened on the day before he left for France.

Try some of these places:Visit art museums. They offer different kinds of activities to excite your kids' interest. Many offer workshops for making land-made pieces, traveling exhibitions, book signings by children's favorite writer, and even musical performances and other arts.Head to natural history museums. This is where kids can discover the past from dinosaur(恐龙) models to rock collections and pictures of stars in the sky. Also, ask what kind of workshops and educational programs are prepared for kids and any special things that are coming up.Go to a Youtheater. Look for one in your area offering plays for children and family visitors. Pre-show play shops are conducted(开设) by area artists and educators where kids can discover the secret about performing arts. Puppet(木偶) making and stage make-up(舞台化妆) are just two special offerings you might find.Try hands-on science. Visit one of the hands-on science museums around the country.

They may wash the dishes, put laundry away or take out the trash. In return, some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games.But some people don't think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Susie Walton, a parenting educator(育儿教育家) and family coach. She believes if kids get rewards, they will think that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. For example, kids won't sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will clean the floor if their parents reward them for it.“Every house is a team effort,” Walton said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have a responsibility to keep our home clean.”Other people hold different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards encourage kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn about how we need to work to make money.Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital(数字的)gifts that can be used either online or in life.With the app ChoreMonster, kids can get digital points after doing chores. Kids can exchange their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall.“Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards, ” says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive power to make them do chores.”8.
