Believable.Schools in China have traditional school subjects for long time.These years most schools in China are teaching life skills，too.Some people think it is helpful for students to live in the real world.But others don't think so.As for me，schools should do in that way.Life skills such as budget（预算）planning and saving money can stop us from overspending.It would also be a good idea to learn cooking.The skill is the most helpful to you when you are living by yourself.On the other hand，some people think that there is no time for extra（额外的）subjects at school，and students should learn life skills only at home.But I think we are learning many life skills while taking a traditional class.For example，we can learn teamwork by doing group games in a P.E.class，and doing our homework teaches us skills for time planning.So I believe all schools should teach life skills.It would not take too much time.This will make sure that students well prepare for going to college and working after college.33. The writer thinks when living by ourselves，it is best for us to ______ .A. study hardB. learn cookingC. phone othersD. exercise often34. At school，students learn skills for time planning by ______ .A. doing homeworkB. playing gamesC. living aloneD. saving money35.

It also means that you have not meaningfully fit in the environment you live. However, boredom may bring health risks if not taken seriously, and even be a sign of more serious mental problems. It is a kind of complicated (复杂的) feeling you sometimes misunderstand, but it allows you to look into the workings of the mind.Indeed, it is important to keep your daily activities, like taking morning exercise in a park or getting a cup of coffee from the same cafe every day. Scientists believe that such activities can give life a form of meaning to keep away from boredom. Although some activities may be affected by busy jobs, it is important to follow them, no matter what changes may take place in the outside world.You may keep on indoor activities with your friends or chatting with them. It is the quality of personal connection, not the way of it, that really matters. Otherwise, you may feel very bored, and it may sometimes lead to almost self-harming behaviors like over-eating. Some people may even suffer from depressive disorder(抑郁症).However, boredom brings something positive in some cases. It helps you come up with creative ideas. It also motivates you to find new ways of doing things, especially for children. In this way, it produces new ways to cheer up yourselves.37．According to the first Paragraph 1, boredom ________.A．can lead to eating less B．may cause serious headacheC．can bring heart disease D．may bring serious mental problems 38．Which of the following can be the way to avoid boredom according to the passage?

Help!” the men shout while Dacty flies down to her．“First things first, ”Aunt Elizabeth says．She goes into the restaurant, opens the door of the fridge and takes out some fish．“Here you are, Dacty,” she says and pets his head．“Here’s your breakfast．Thank you very much, you did a great job.” Then she phones the police．The mayor(市长) shakes Dacty’s wing and puts a big shiny medal over his head．“Congratulations, you did a great job.” Then he turns to Aunt Elizabeth, “What a great idea to have a big bird as a guard.”“Dacty’s not a bird,” Roger says, “He’s a pterodactyl(冥指龙).”“Roger!” says Helen．“Don’t say anything!”“It doesn’t matter, children,” says Aunt Elizabeth.“Dacty is a hero now.”33．How does Dacty catch the second thief?A．He lifts him with his wings.B．He lifts him in his beak.C．He lifts him with a drill.D．He lifts him with his clawn(爪).34．What does the underlined word “frightened”probably mean in paragraph 3 ________.A．Excited enough B．Much cheerful C．Very afraid D．Rather happy 35．Which is the right order according to the passage?a.The mayor presents a medal to Dacty．b.Two thieves try to open the mummy case．c.Aunt Elizabeth feeds Dacty some fish．d.Dacty carries the two thieves up onto the statue.A．b-d-c-a B．b-e-c-d C．c-a-b-d D．c-b-d-a36．Why is Dacty a hero according to the passage?A．He is a pterodactyl and likes flying.B．He is the two children’s favorite pet.C．He loves playing games with thieves.D．He catches the two thieves successfully.D①The natural world is colorful with humans, plants and animals showing different colors．Human skin can be many different colors and it changes with the sun, our feelings, or our health．This is because of pigments(色素), which reflect light and make what the eye sees as colors．So, when we feel excited or angry, our heart sends more blood to the face and the pigments in the skin become red．②Plants also have pigments．Colors plays an important role in their life．The bright colors of flowers catch the attention of insects, which then carry their pollen(花粉)from one flower to another．Bees can see colors we cannot, and they follow these to the inside of the flower．Without bees visiting flowers in this way, many plants would die out．③Animals also use colors for their own need．They protect themselves with different colors in order not to be seen by predators(捕食者).The snowshoe hare, for example, a type of wild rabbit, changes colors with seasons for this reason．During summer it is a brown color, and in winter it is white so that it can hide in the snow．However, some animals use the color as a warning to frighten predators away．Bright colors such as yellow and red are often used in this way．④So, we can see that there may be many different reasons and uses for colors in the natural world．Some uses of colors in nature remain unknown, but one thing is for sure, colors not only make our planet beautiful, but they are also necessary for our planet to live on.37．What helps plants to attract insects?A．Leaves.B．Colors.C．Fruits.D．Pollen.38．Why does the writer talk about the snowshoe hare in Paragraph 3?A．To show animals can use colors to protect themselves.B．To explain how seasons have a great influence on animals.C．To show animals use colors as a warning to keep predators away.D．To explain why some animals use yellow and red to make themselves attractive.39．Which of the following shows the structure of the text?A．A B．B C．C D．D40．Where can you find this text?A．In an art book.B．In a health report.C．In a TV program.D．In a science magazine.EThe dragon is a great animal in Chinese culture．____41____ It is said that every year on the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon wakes up from its winter sleep and raises its head．So, the day is called “Dragon Head-raising Day”（long taitou）．This year, it falls on February 2 lst．Old people believed that after long taitou, there would be more rain.And rain is very necessary tofarming．____42____ People have many ways to celebrate the long taitou festival．____43____ Many believe that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to your uncles—mainly your mother’s brothers．They hope getting a haircut on long taitou keeps them away from bad luck．____44____ During the long taitou festival, people eat food named after dragons．Noodles are called dragon’s beard （longxu）．Dumplings are dragon’s ears （long’er）．And spring rolls are dragon’s scales（longlin）．____45____．In some places in Shandong, people make dragon lanterns too．Small red boats go down the rivers and carry the lanterns, which stand for people’s best wishes and good luck．选择恰当的选项补全短文。

We were driving to our grandma’s and our car 1 . We couldn’t get out of the car and I cried. A mechanic came to help us.’Alice, 12‘I remember I was eating an ice cream when a dog came and took it out of my hand. I cried, I was two , I think.’Tom,10‘I remember my first memory is my second birthday. There was a cake with two candles. I couldn’t blow the candles out, so my dad did it for me.’Mike, 15Most adults remember little about this that happened in their very early childhood, 2 , some people think that we aren’t really able to form memories before our fourth or fifth birthdays. But scientists carrying out research into early memories have suggested that this is not true. They say that we do form memories at a very young age. However , what we remember about our very early lives seems to change as we 3 .Researchers in Canada worked with 140 children aged between four and thirteen. First , they asked their participants to describe their earliest memories. Then they asked them roughly how old they’d been when the event happ ened . Next, they asked the kids’ parents to make sure that the event actually happened .And all the 4 were written down. The researchers waited for two years before they went back to the children and asked them again,‘What’s your earliest memory?’Nearly all the children who were aged between four and seven in the first interview said something very different in the second interview. And when the researchers reminded them of what they’d said the first time, many of the children said, ‘No, that never happened to me. ’However , many of the children who were between ten and thirteen at the first interview described exactly the 5 memory in the second interview. This seems to suggest that our memories change in the early years, but that at around the age of ten, the things that we remember get fixed（固定的）.The researchers are now looking into the question of why children remember certain events and not others. We sometimes think that most first or early memories are about very stressful things that happened to us as children , because had thins stand out in our minds. But in this study, stressful events were only a small percentage of what the children said they remembered. More often, their early memories were happy ones. The researchers are trying to work out why this is the case. We expect the researchers will 6 more fascinating things about memories in the near future.1．A．ran forward B．sold out C．broke down D．sped up2．A．As a result B．What’s more C．For the time being D．In fact3．A．are pleased B．build confidence C．feel tired D．get older4．A．forecasts B．answers C．reviews D．orders5．A．unforgettable B．sweet C．same D．short6．A．imagine B．require C．control D．discoverⅢ. 语法填空12、The first thing people notice about other people is the way they look.

Later he became a star in the NBA, and a citizen of the United States. But he never forgot the land of his birth, or the duty to share his fortune with others. He built a new hospital in his old hometown in Congo(刚果). People called him ＂a good-hearted man＂.● Success and kindnessAfter her daughter was born, Julie Aigner-Clark searched for ways to share her love of music and art with her child. So she borrowed some equipment, and began filming children’s videos in he r own house. The Baby Einstein Company was born, and in just five years her business grew to more than $20 million in sales. And now she is using her success to help others — producing child safety videos with John Walsh of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Julie says of her new program, ＂I believe it’s the most important thing that I have ever done.＂● Bravery and courageWesley Autrey became a national hero when he placed his life in danger to help a stranger who had fallen onto the tracks in a New York subway tunnel.Autrey was waiting for a downtown local train in Manhattan one day with his two daughters. Suddenly, a young man, Cameron Hollopeter, fell onto the subway tracks. Just then a train was coming. He dove onto the tracks and tried to take Hollopeter off the tracks, but there was not enough time to drag Hollopeter away. Instead, Autrey threw himself down onto the man, in the space between the rails(铁轨). It was too late for the train to stop. Several cars passed over them, and left a grease(润滑油) mark on his hat.After that Autrey said, ＂I just saw someone who needed help and did what I felt was right.＂1．What was Mutombo praised(赞扬) for?A．Being a star in the NBA．B．Being a citizen of America.C．His work in the USA．D．Helping people in the home town.2．Who was Julie in the passage?A．A famous basketball player. B．A mother with two daughters.C．A person who saved a young man. D．A woman who owned the Baby Einstein Company.3．What did the Baby Einstein Company do at its beginning?A．It produced safety equipment for children. B．It made videos to help protect children.C．It sold videos of children’s music and artwork.D．It looked for missing and exploited children.4．Why was Wesley Autrey called a national hero?A．He helped a man get across the rails. B．He stopped a man from running away.C．He protected two little girls from getting hurt. D．He saved a stranger without thinking about his own safety. 5．What does the underlined sentence ＂Several cars passed over them, and left a grease mark on his hat.＂imply (暗示)?A．The cars of the train made Autrey’s hat dirty.B．The cars of the train were close enough to Autrey’s head.C．The cars of the train passed over Autrey very quickly.D．The cars of the train were covered with lots of grease.B14、Y ou cannot go without a pencil when writing or drawing something. You have probably noticed letters H and B printed on your pencil. What, for example, do HB, 3H and 3B mean?Those are letters showing the hardness or the lead(铅) or graphite(石墨) in a pencil. H refers to hard lead, The bigger the Arabic number before the letter H, the harder the lead, and the lighter will be the colour. The hardest pencil has 6H on it. Such pencils are often used in making engineering drawing. People seldom write with them. B stands for soft lead. The bigger the number before the letter B, the softer the lead, and the darker will be the colour, the softest being the 6B pencil. Such pencils are used by artists.The HB pencil has a lead core(芯) that is neither too soft nor too hard. Its colour is medium(中等的) in its blackness. It is most suitable for ordinary writing and drawing.1．6H pencils are often used by ________A．students B．engineers C．artists D．writers2．A 4B pencil is ___________than a 3B-one.A．harder B．betterC．more expensive D．softer3．The best title for the passage would be "________ "A．PencilsB．Hard pencils and soft pencilsC．Letters H and BD．Symbols(符号) on your pencilC15、Blind imitation (模仿) is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive: to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else's way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child's bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not server. Then you can say, "I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors" tragedies and stories, and know that they are cheering on.1．Imitation proves useful when you _____.A．know you are uniqueB．lose the balance of lifeC．begin to learn something newD．get tired of routine practice2．To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should _____.A．forget daily fear and painB．choose the right exampleC．ask others for decisionsD．stay away from stars3．The trouble a creator faces is _____.A．the lack of strong motivationB．the absence of practical ideasC．how to search for more materialsD．how to use imagination creatively4．What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?A．To highlight the importance of creatively.B．To criticize the characters of role models.C．To compare imitation with creation.D．To explain the meaning of success.D16、Tigers are terrible animals, but a cat is a cute animal. As a mother, the Chinese-American writer Amy Chua is just a tiger . Her book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother (《虎妈战歌》), tells us how she gives her two children education. She says that being strict is the only way to train a child’s talent. Her kids had to obey the following rules. To begin with, he r kids weren’t allowed to watch TV or play computer games. Then, they were not allowed to “ hang out ” with other kids after school. They had to be the top students in their class. And they had to practice the piano and the violin for hours every day. Of course, she believes this has brought a lot of proble ms for herself and her kids. But she doesn’t mind because her kids have become great. Chua says, like her, most Asian mothers are tigers because they believe their children can achieve a lot if they’re pushed hard enough. She says American mothers are real ly cats. They care more about their children’s self-respect (自尊). They don’t want to be strict with their kids because this may hurt their feelings. With soft words and understanding, they encourage their children to choose for themselves. So is a tiger mom better than a cat mom? It may also depend on the child.1．The writer of this passage wants to _________.A．tell that Tigers are terrible animals, but a cat is a cute animal.B．tell us Amy Chua how to give children education.C．tell the book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is about animals.D．tell that most Asian mothers are cats2．What does Amy Chua think of training a child’s talent?A．She says that being strict is the only way to train a child’s talentB．She says that being soft is the best way to train a child’s talentC．She says that teaching is the only way to train a child’s talentD．She says that making the rules is the only way to train a child’s talent3．To begin with, her kids weren’t allowed toA．watch TV.B．play computer gamesC．“ hang out ” wi th other kids after school.D．Above of all4．She doesn’t mind because her kids have become great. does she?A．Y es, she does B．No, she doesn’tC．Y es, she doesn’t D．No, she does.5．From the passage, we can know which one is Not trueA．most Asian mothers are tigers because they believe their children can achieve a lot.B．American mothers don’t want to be strict with their kids because this may hurt their feelingsC．So is a tiger mom better than a cat mom? It may also depend on the child.D．American mothe rs are like cats. They care less about their children’s self-respect (自尊).E17、Stanley, as a son of a very poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his hometown. “There’s so much to learn,” he’d say. “Though we’re born stupid, only the stupid remain that way.” He decided that none of his children would be refused an education.Therefore, Stanley insisted that we should learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, we’d still do that. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we learned. We would talk about the news of the day. Sometimes the news was unimportant, but it was always taken seriously. Stanley would listen carefully and discuss it with us.Then came the moment—the time to share the day’s new learning.“Felice,” he’d say, “tell me what you learned today.”“I learned that the population of Denmark is ....”Silence.Stanley was thinking about what was said. “The population of Denmark. Hmm. Well…” he’d say. “Get the map; let’s see where Denmark is.” And the whole family went on a search for Denmark.This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and joining in one another’s education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting what we learned, confirming our value, Stanley was surely our most influential teacher.Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting(传授) what Stanley knew all along—the value of continual learning. His skills have served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Denmark might prove useful.1．（小题1）What do we know from Paragraph 1?A．Those born stupid could not change their life.B．The poor could hardly afford school education.C．The town elders wanted to learn about the world.D．The writer’s father was born in a worker’s family.2．（小题2）The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refers to(指代)______.A．one new thing B．sharing what we learnC．crazy idea D．learning one new thing3．（小题3）From the passage, we know that the writer _______.A．knew very well about DenmarkB．felt regret about those wasted daysC．thought his father’s educational skills usefulD．only talked about important news with his family4．（小题4）What is the greatest value of “dinner time” to the writer?A．Continual learning. B．Showing talents.C．Family get-together. D．Eating delicious food.5．（小题5）What is the best title of this passage?A．A poor familyB．My best teacherC．Happy time at schoolD．The most difficult knowledgeF18、William Blake described the eyes as the “windows of the soul.” Our eyes are the windows through which we see the world around us. Either way, there’s no question that we place great value on our eyes and our eyesight. Surveys have shown that of the five senses, sight is the one that people fear losing the most.Thinking about the important function of our eyes, we’d give them the best care possible, but sometimes we get too busy or forget to do a few simple things that can keep our eyes healthy.Protecting your eyes starts with the food on your plate. Remember when you were a kid and your mom told you that carrots would improve your eyesight. Well, she might be right. Proper food will keep your eyes strong and healthy.Give up your daily habits that could seriously injure your eyes. Always wear sunglasses in a sunny day to protect your eyes from ultraviolet ray（紫外线）. Rest your eyes every 20 minutes from the computer screen by looking 20 feet away for 20 seconds. At least every 2 hours, get up and take a 15-minute break when working at a computer.Make sure your ey es do not get injured in the first place. Y ou should try to prevent eye injuries whether you’re playing sports or doing housework. You should also know when to wear safety glasses and what kinds will work best for you.Last but not least, get your eyes e xamined regularly. Eye exams can help find some eye diseases. It’s important to find these diseases early on, when they’re easier to treat.1．According to a survey, people fear losing ▲ most.A．their sights B．their hearings C．their smells D．their tastes2．The underlined word function might mean “▲ ” in Chinese.A．差异B．功能C．优势D．问题3．▲ is NOT a good way to protect your eyes.A．Eating carrots B．Wearing sunglassesC．Working at computers D．Using safety glasses4．Finding eye diseases early on through eye exams ▲ .A．saves much work for the doctors B．is helpful for the treatmentC．provides you the best care of your eyes D．wastes much of your money5．What is the best title of the passage?A．Give Your Eyes Some RestB．Good Habits Bring HealthC．Protect the Windows of the SoulD．Simple Way of Eye Exams wastes much of your moneyⅤ.书面表达19、今年我省出台了系列推进素质教育的新政，其中对学生的作息时间做了严格规定。

What helps plants to attract insects______A. Leaves.B. Colors.C. Fruits.D. Pollen.38. Why does the writer talk about the snowshoe hare in Paragraph 3？______A.
