13、Holmes said, “Somebody sent a letter with five pips (桔核) in it from India, and arrived seven weeks later to kill John’s uncle. Then they sent five pips from Scotland and arrived three days later to kill John’s father. Now they have sent five pips to John from London!”
“The letters are all from sea ports (海港). The writer was on a ship when he wrote the letters,” I replied.
“Very good, Watson! And John’s enemy is in London already!”
“Well, I hope they won’t kill young John,” I said.
But they did. The next morning, we read in the newspaper that a policeman found him die near Waterloo Station. Holmes was very angry about it.
“He came to me for help and those men murdered him! I’m going to find them, if it’s the last thing I do!” he said to me, and he hurried out of the house.
At night, when he came back, he was tired, but pleased, he said, “I know the names of John’s enemies! And now I’m going to send them a surpris e! This will frighten them!” He took five pips from an orange and put them in an envelope (信封). On it he wrote “
“I’m sending the pips to captain James Calhoun. His ship is called the Star. He and his men are sailing back to Georgia, USA．”
“How did you find him, Holmes?” I asked.
“Ship’s papers,” he said, “I’ve looked at hundreds of them today. Only one ship, the Star, was in the three ports at the right times, and this morning the Star left London to sail back to Georgia. I found out that the captain and two of his men, all Americans, weren’t on the ship last night, so I’m sure they killed John.

14、The Amazing Brain
Sleep. It’s something we spend about a third of our lives doing, but do any of us really understand what it’s all about?
We all know based on our own experience that when we sleep, it clears our minds, and when we don’t sleep, it leaves our minds murky (昏沉沉的). But w hen we still haven’t understood why sleep has this amazing function for the mind.
Recently biologists have found that sleep may actually be a kind of design solution to some of the brain’s most basic needs, the way that brain meets the high demands and the narrow margins (范围) that set it apart from all the other organs (器官) of the body. The brain has a large pool of clean, clear fluid (流体) called cerebrospinal fluid. Biologists call it the CSF. The CSF fills the space that surrounds the brain, and wastes from inside the brain make their way out to the CSF, which gets the waste into the blood. What was surprising to them was that the fluid on the outside of the brain didn’t stay on the outside. Instead, the CSF goes into and through the brain along the outsid es of the blood vessels (血管), it was actually helping to clear away and clean the waste from the spaces between the brain’s cells (细胞). This only happens in the sleeping brain.
Recent research suggests that what’s happening is that when the brain is awake and is at its most busy, it puts off clearing away the waste from the spaces between its cells until later. When we go to sleep, it gets into a kind of cleaning mode to clear away the waste from the spaces between its cells.
We go to sleep every single night, but our brains never rest. While our body is still and our mind is off walking in dreams somewhere. Like our housework, it’s dirty and a thankless job, but it’s also important. In your house, if you stop cleaning your kitchen for a month, your home will become completely unlivable very quickly. But in he brain, the situation is much more serious because when it comes to cleaning the brain, it is the very health and function of the mind and the body that’s at stake. That is why understanding these very basic housekeeping functions of the brain today may prevent and treat diseases of the mind tomorrow.
1．What does the underlined phrase “at stake” in the last paragraph mean?
A．in a healthy situation
B．in a dangerous situation
C．in an amazing situation
D．in an unlivable situation
2．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Sleeping makes our brain feel murky.
B．The CSF can clean the waste in our brain.
C．Our brain can clean the waste at any time.
D．Sleeping makes our brain have a good rest.
3．What is the main purpose of writing this passage?
A．To teach us how to have a good sleep.
B．To show the new research of our brain.
C．To introduce how CSF works in our brain.
D．To tell us the importance of sleeping.

15、Getting electricity has always been a problem for the 173 people living in Nuevo Saposoa, a small village in Peru, South America. However, things went from bad to worse in March 2015 after heavy rains damaged the only power cables in the area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.
Luckily, researchers at the University of Technology (UT) in Lima, Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution. They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb.
While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the ides is quite simple. As plants create their food (using the sun’s energy, water and chemicals from the soil), they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons – the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the en ergy and keep it in the lamp’s batteries for later use. The researchers say a single charge can power a 50-watt Led light for two hours - enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done.
The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015. So far, they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who invented the lamp, believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people, especially small rainforest communities, 42% of whom have no electricity.
1．What are the problems of oil lamps according to Paragraph 1?
A．They are difficult to use and create pollution.
B．They are expensive to buy and easily damaged.
C．They are difficult to repair and produce little light.
D．They are expensive to use and can be bad for health.
2．The electricity made by the Plant Lamp comes from______.
A．plant food B．plant waste
C．the soil’s heat D．the sun’s energy
3．What is true about the Plant Lamp?
A．It can be made by local people.
B．It is much easier to use than oil lamps.
C．It can produce all the electricity the village need.
D．The things it needs to make electricity are easy to find.
4．The Plant Lamp’s inventor believes it could be most helpful for _________.
A．rainforest communities B．cars
C．poor people in cities D．farmers
5．What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To report on a new invention
B．To explain a new scientific theory
C．To describe how electricity is made
D．To discuss the problems of poor villages

In the beginning, I went swimming alone, and I called to my friends, “ Help me!” All my friends came to help me, only to find out that I was joking. But the next time I wasn’t joking. I swam in deep water and I was so careless that I was almost d rowned（淹死）.
I tried my best to call my friends for help, but this time nobody came to saved（救）my life. They took me to the emergency center. From then on, I haven’t joked on anyone. I think this is the best lesson in my life.

17、“You are what you eat” is a common English saying. It means the food you eat will become part of you. Many experts use it to tell people it’s important to have a good eating habit. For example, too much sweet food makes a person overweight. To avoid being fat, kids are told to keep off sweet food. However, a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food.
“When we say some people ‘sweet’, we mean they are kind and friendly to us. Perhaps this word can help us learn more about p eople’s feelings and acts.”said Brain Meier, a scientist from the study team. “Taste is something we experience(体验) every day. What we have done is to find whether we can know someone’s character and behavior depending on their taste.”
In one of their experiments(实验), college students were asked questions about their characters, for example, they were soft-hearted or not. Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food. According to their answers, the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.
In their another experiment, the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate helped other people in need, but those who ate non-sweet food such as chips weren’t. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more possibly to volunteer to clean up their city, visit sick children in the hospital and so on.
The result of experiments is that people’s helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food. So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful. Next time, try some ice-cream.
1．What does the underlined word “it” refer to(指代) ?
A．The English saying. B．The eating habit.
C．The American team. D．The sweet food.

A．overweight B．excited C．friendly D．relaxed

A．The ones who like ice-cream.
B．The ones who prefer chocolate.
C．The ones who eat many cookies.
D．The ones who eat many chips.
4．According to the passage, which of the followings is NOT true?
A．Some scientists discovered something new about eating sweet food.
B．Kids are told to keep away from sweet food to be fat.
C．What you put in your mouth will show your character.
D．If people want to be kind or friendly, they can try some sweet food.
5．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Scientists asked college students questions about their characters.
B．People who like sweet food are more willing to help others.
C．Scientists told college students not to eat sweet food.
D．People’s character has nothing to do with their taste.

If you ever go to the US and eat at a restaurant, there’s a very important difference you should know about. US people have a custom to give money to waiters and waitresses as a tip for their work.
But why is this? Shouldn’t waiters get paid enough by their bosses? Well, many waiters and waitresses get paid below the US minimum wage (最低工资) and work for tips to make up for that. According to the American travel website TripAdvisor, some states pay their servers (服务员) only $2.13 (about 14 yuan) per hour.
While no one makes you tip, if you are at a sit-down restaurant, it is usually expected that you tip your waiter 15 to 20 percent of what your bill is.
It’s not just for waiters either. Hotel maids, hairdressers and taxi drivers also usually work for tips. But it is much more expected to tip waiters.
The US hasn’t always had this tipping culture. In fact, people were mostly against it until the Prohib ition Era (禁酒令时代) in the 1920s. The government said no one could sell alcohol (酒). Then, restaurants had trouble making enough money. So they started to ask people to tip their waiters.
This tipping culture has lasted through the years, but most people don’t like it. Some think restaurant bosses use it as an excuse to not pay their workers well. There isn’t much action being taken to make a change yet. So for now, be sure to
tip your waiter when in the US.
1．If a server works eight hours a day, he can get from his boss.
A．$2.13 B．$17.04 C．￥14
2．Besides waiters and waitresses, also works for tips in the US.
A．customers B．taxi drivers C．restaurant bosses
3．When the restaurants couldn’t sell alcohol,.
A．they were bankrupt (破产的) and closed down
B．the bosses still made much money
C．they started to ask people to tip
4．We can learn from the passage that .
A．the waiters and waitresses aren’t well paid in the US
B．the custom of giving tips only appears in the US
C．all Americans are glad to tip their waiters
5．About American’s tipping culture, foreign visitors think.
A．they need to fight for their own rights
B．they should “do as the Romans do”
C．they can leave it alone

19、As we know ,the environment around us is getting worse and worse. Some chemical factories always pour waste water into the stream. And they also produce terrible gas. In some places, some people even have no clean water to drink. So I think we must do something to protect the environment.
How to protect the environment? First, as a student, we should use cloth bags instead of plastic bags when we go shopping. Second , we had better reuse the old textbooks as possible as we can. Third, we should never forget to turn off the lights when we leave the classrooms. In a word , we must try our best to protect our environment. I believe we can make the world a better place to live in.。
