He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. He never shouted at us for playing in his yard. I remembered him as a neighbor who was nicer than anyone else in the neighborhood.When Dr. Gibbs was happy, he was planting trees. And his life’s goal was to make it a forest. Dr. Gibbs had some interesting theories about planting. He talked about trees that weren’t watered would grow deep roots in search of water. So he never watered his trees. He planted an oak (橡树) and, instead of watering it every morning, he beat it with the rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.Dr. Gibbs died a couple of years. Every now and again, I walk by his house and look at the trees that he planted twenty-five y ears ago. They’re very strong now.I planted a couple of trees a few years later. I watered them regularly and took good care of them. Whenever a cold wind blows, they shake their leaves and branches.The funny thing about those trees of Dr. Gibbs was that difficulty seemed to help them in ways comfort and ease never could.1．What was Dr. Gibbs’ life goal?A.

Planting trees is good for the environment.3.（8分）New law lets students sleep inWhen your alarm clock rings and you drag yourself out of bed, you probably wonder: Why on earth does school have to start so early?Fortunately, there is a new law to back you up―or better still, science.A law in California, passed on Oct 13, requires that public middle schools begin classes no earlier than 8:00 am and that high schools start no earlier than 8:30 am. The law will go into effect by July 1, 2022.Starting school at 8:00 or 8:30 in the morning may not sound like too big of a change, but it could mean one more hour of sleep for students who used to start school at 7:30 or even earlier.“The e ffect of that one hour is something they will be feeling as 40-year-old adults,” Sumit Bhargava, a sleep expert at Stanford University told The New York Times. He said that not having enough sleep can affect students’ mental health and increase the risk of getting fat and diabetes (糖尿病).In the short run, students’ school performances should improve almost immediately. Kyla Wahlstrom, a researcher at the University of Minnesota’s College of Education, found that students who have enough sleep are more alert (机敏的) in class and get better grades.Some might say that urging students to go to bed earlier could have been a much easier solution than changing the school timetable across an entire state. But according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, teenagers go through biological changes when they enter puberty (青春期), which makes it difficult for them to fall asleep before 11: 00 pm. So when school starts at 8: 00 or earlier, they can hardly get the ideal 8.5-9.5 hours of sleep that experts suggest they need to do their best in the daytime.This is why when the new law came out, its author, Anthony Portantino, said, “Generations of children will come to appreciate ( 感激) this historic day and our governor for taking bold action.1.When should public high schools start classes according to the California’s new law?A.No earlier than 8:30 am..B.No earlier than 8:00 am.C.No earlier than 7:30 am.D.No earlier than 9:00 am.2.What can we learn from Bhargava’s words?A. The amount of sleep people need changes with age.B. Lack of sleep could lead to health problems.C. Lack of sleep affects adults more than children.D. Sleep problems are one of the leading causes of diabetes3.What do we know about teenagers’ sleep patterns?A. Ideally, they need eight hours of sleep a night..B. Less sleep is needed when they enter pubertyC. They often wake up at midnight due to biologicalD. They may have difficulty falling asleep before11.pm4.Where does this passage probably come from?A. A n ewspaperB. A b iographyC. A textbookD. An advertisement4.（8分）Many people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle. Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem. Over the past 10 years，development in technology has moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now，two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon.The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype(原型) of its flying bicycle. Grant Stapleton，marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics，says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly.“It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed，” he adds.Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company’s main concern. He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors(交叠式旋翼) to power the vehicle.The company is testing a fullsize prototype of the Hoverbike，which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.In New Zealand，the Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a fullsize prototype of its personal flying device，called Jetpack(喷气背包).It can fly for more than 30 minutes，up to 1,000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said Jetpack “is built around safety from the start”.In his words，“reliability is the most important element of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself，very sim ilar to a Formula One racing car.”Jetpack uses a gasolinepowered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr Coker says it also has a parachute(降落伞) that can be used should there be an emergency. “It starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot，” he adds. Mr Coker says Jetpack will be ready for sale soon.1.We can learn from the passage that the Hoverbike __________.A. has been used by the police and emergency rescue teamsB. can be transported quickly after being folded and packedC. can hardly get in and out of small spaces quicklyD. can fly for over 30 minutes，up to 1,000 meters high2.The writer uses the example of Formula One racing car to show that .A.Jetpack’s engine is powerfulB.Jetpack is very safe and reliableC.Jetpack’s actual structure is uniqueD.Jetpack can reach a great speed and height3.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “ ”.A.the parachuteB.the engineC.JetpackD.the jet stream4.What is th e author’s main purpose of writing the passage?A.To describe the problems of inventing flying vehicles.B.To show the differences between the two personal flying vehicles..C.To introduce the latest development of flying vehicles.D.To advertise the two personal flying vehicles.二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）5.（10分）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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

ABobby White works as a police officer in Gainesville, Florida. One day, he was told to investigate a noise complaint. A group of boys were playing basketball in the street. Instead of blaming the boys or sending them home, White joined them. White started shooting baskets with the kids. And a few minutes later, some more boys came and played the game. The camera on White’s police car recorded the event. The police department posted the video online. It was seen over 15 million times.Before he le ft the boys, White said he would come back again with “backup”. That is what police officers say when they are appealing for help from other officers.As the video spread, a basketball star became interested in what happened in Gainesville. That player was Shaquille O’Neal. He was a member of the Los Angeles Lakers when they won the National Basketball Association championship. He also played for the Orlando Magic, a team not far from Gainesville.The other day, O’Neal visited the Gainesville police and s poke with White. And then they went out to “the scene”. That is what police officers call the area where a crime happened. But of course, there was no crime.This time, White told the boys, “I told you I was going to bring some backup. Right? You guys read y?” And O'Neal turned up from a nearby car. The kids got really excited. O'Neal played basketball with the boys and other officers as a crowd gathered. O’Neal eventually gathered the boys together and gave some wise words, “Be a leader, not a follower”, “R espect your peers(同龄人) and your elders”, and “You can be whatever you want to be”.21.

But there is not one thing that solves a difficult problem. For example, let’s say a country is suffering from a weak economy. It raises various social issues. People want change and protest (抗议) in the streets. However, there is no magic bullet to cure all these problems.To take a bullet for someone is a good thing. Well, the thought behind this expression is a good thing. It means you are willing to harm yourself to protect someone else. This often sounds like a tough expression. Mothers might not say “I’d take a bullet for my c hild”, but they would. People in the army, however, might say, “I’d take a bullet for you, man.”When you sweat bullets you are very nervous or anxious about something. What does dodging a bullet mean? For example, let’s say you get up late for work. Y our boss has warned you that if you are late again, you may get fired. When you arrive at the office, you are sweating bullets. However, you need not worry. As it turns out, your boss is out sick that day. You have dodged a bullet.To ease the pain of a difficult situation, people are sometimes asked to bite the bullet. What is the origin of this expression? During the Civil War, pain-killing drugs were often hard to find. So, doctors working on the battlefield would give their patients something to bite on. Many times it was a bullet. Hollywood movies helped to keep this expression alive. In old western movies, more than one cowboy was seen biting a bullet, perhaps drinking some wine, while removing an arrow from his body. In modern conversation, biting the bullet means to accept a difficult decision or situation.25. What does the author think of a magic bullet?A. Unrealistic.B. Valuable.C. Approachable.D. Necessary.26.Whose actions speak louder than words according to the author?A. Bosses’.B. Doctors’.C. Soldiers’.D. Mothers’.27. What can we say when we avoid a bad thing luckily?A. Sweat bullets.B. Dodge a bullet.C. Take a bullet for someone.D. Be faster than a speeding bullet.28. What is the meaning of “bite the bullet” nowadays?A. Reduce one’s pain.B. Act too nervously.C. Drink too much wine.D. Have to do something unpleasant.CBy day, Clark Kent is a journalist who fights for truth and disadvantaged groups in Metropolis. But when the shy man removes his glasses, Clark Kent is gone. He becomes Superman. Not even his colleagues, including Lois Lane who often reports stories about Superman, realize that the flying superhero works with them. Personally, I’ve always found Superman’s “disguise (伪装)”extre mely funny, but then again it’s just something you accept as part of the Superman universe. However, obviously wearing glasses does indeed make it hard for people to recognize you, according to a recent study.People of Metropolis are not the fools everyone thinks they are. Researchers from University of York’s Department of Psychology showed participants faces of people. The pictures were presented in pairs in three groups: glasses-wearing faces, a pair with only one person wearing glasses, and finally a pair with no one wearing glasses. Each participant had to judge whether the faces shown in each pair were the same person or not.In those cases where both of the faces wore glasses or where neither wore glasses, participants were right 80 percent of the time. When one face wore glasses, and the other didn’t, participants were much less able to identify when the same person was there, scoring about six percent lower.These findings suggest that, generally, people find it difficult to match strangers’ faces. When they wear glasses, the challenge is even greater.Besides proving Clark Kent could have actually made it, the results could be useful to improve the security of passports and other ID cards.“We hope that this research can be used by governments to he lp inform future policies on identification for security purposes, particularly in the UK where individuals who normally wear glasses are required to remove them for their identification cards,” the researchers wrote.29.What did the author think of Superm an’s disguise?A. Unnecessary.B. Logical.C. Smart.D. Unique.30. What were the participants supposed to do with each pair of faces?A. Understand the importance of wearing glasses.B. Tell whether they belong to the same person or not.C. Explore the differences between the two faces.D. Realize how wearing glasses can trick people.31. How can the research finding be applied to the UK’s security policies?A. Passports would include more pictures of a person.B. Individuals have to take off their glasses in public.C. All the passports and ID cards need to be updated.D. People could probably wear glasses for their ID cards.32. What would be the best title for the text?A. A study on wearing glasses.B. Why does Superman wear glasses?C. Sup erman’s disguise is not that stupid.D. Remove your glasses for security purposes.DLocal activities in MichiganInterior Design Seminars:Attend our interior design seminars from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm on weekends!
