You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example，sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight fromUV rays.Eating healthy foods will do good to your eyesight．Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because exercise protects your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time．All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes. Being happy all the time can be helpful to a person’s eyesight, too.

Finally, angry and half joking, I said that the next student who 21 recite the poem had to do three push-up （俯卧撑）. To my 22 , Tina was next. She used her walker to move to the front of the class. 23 she recited, she made a mistake. Before I could say a word, she 24 her walker and started doing push-ups. I wanted to say, “Tina, I was just 25 !”But she 26 , continued the poem and she finished the rest perfectly.When she finished, a student asked, “Tina, why did you do that? It’s not an important assignment!”“Because I want to be like you guys! To be 27 .” Tina said.Silence fell on the whole room when another student cried out, “Tina, we’re not normal! Weare teenagers! We get in 28 all the time.”“I know,” Tina said as a big 29 spread across her face. The rest of the students laughed, too.Tina got only a few 30 that day, but she got the love and respect of her classmates. To her, that was worth a lot more than a grade.班级_____________ 姓名___________________ 学号__________ 准考证号_________________ ……………………………………装……………………………………订……………………………………线……………………………………16.

But the history of Sherlock dates back 127 years.Since the creation of Holmes in 1887, he has been taking us on adventures（冒险）one after another.The Sherlock series is a playful drama, covered in crimes and mystery. It gives us a modern Sherlock for a new generation, who solves cases with the help of the Internet, cell phones and GPS.People look to Sherlock for both adventure and inspiration（灵感）. Each case sends us on a mysterious journey with Holmes. The stories give life and color to our imagination: as he checks the crime scene, we join him and become detectives too, looking out for hidden clues.Yet Holmes is no Superman. He cannot fly, or turn invisible（隐形的）. But his powers are within all of us: reason, logical thinking and paying attention to detail. While an artist’s painting is his art, Sherlock’s art is his intelligence（聪明才智）. He is human, and this is what makes Holmes a true hero for all of us.In the new series of Sherlock, most people thought Holmes was dead. But he returns after two years of hiding in the shadows. Now the whole city of London is in danger. What can Holmes possibly do? Uncover the mystery yourself by watching the new series!36. Sherlock was created in _________.A. 2014B. 1973C. 1887D. 190037. From the passage, we learn that Sherlock Holmes _________.A. invites some of his friends to help him with casesB. refuses to use modern technologyC. has super powers that helped many peopleD. is admired for hisintelligence38. In the new series of Sherlock, Holmes returns after _________.A. dyingB. getting a special powerC. hidingD. going abroad39. The writer wrote the passage to __________.A. compare Sherlock Holmes with SupermanB. explain how Holmes solves casesC. ask people to learn from Sherlock HolmesD. explain why Holmes is so popular40. Where can you probably read the article?A. TV Guide.B. Science fiction book.C. Detective stories.D. Travel Guide.CTaking away a city’s rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can't eat or use. If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump. Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs and other places.To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you’d never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus（腐殖质）, which looks like black earth. It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help them grow.41. Where is the rubbish put after it is taken outside of city?A. On the mountainB. In the waterC. In low placesD. In special places42. The main idea of the passage is_________.A. to let us know taking away rubbish is a big jobB. to explain the need for rubbish collectionC. to introduce different ways to treat rubbishD. to tell people to take useful things out of rubbish43. The underlined word “sewage”in the passage means_________.A. 排污B. 染色C. 洗涤D. 吸尘44. According to the passage, the food parts of rubbish can be used again_________.A. to feed animalsB. to feed plantsC. to build a houseD. to make machines45. How should we take care of a used metal box according to the passage?A. By burning it off.B. By putting it in water.C. By throwing it away.D. By reusing and recycling it.DHaving a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, wear strange hairstyle and even fight. Basically（基本上）, they are often taking risks.Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So what’s the reason?According to Laurence, a teacher from a US university, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers（同龄人）view them—that is “peer influence”.As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates, and also they care more about what they think of them. This makes teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs.In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they drove more safely.Why do peers have such a big influence o n teens’ behavior?As Laurence sees it, a teenager’s brain is like a car with a good accelerator （油门）but a weak brake（刹车）. The “accelerator” is fully developed by teenage years while the “brake” is still not fully developed. When teenagers are watched by their peers, they usually push hard on the accelerator. With their weak brake, it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident.But the good news is that a violent（暴力的）teenager doesn’t necessarily become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it. “They get more self-controlled.”46. What does the underlined word “irrational” in the 2nd paragraph mean?A. Quick.B. Crazy.C. Careful.D. Correct.47. Why are teenagers often taking risks according to the text?A. They like difficult tasks.B. They don’t care about costs.C. They are too young to tell right from wrong.D. They care a lot about what their peers think of them.48. How does Laurence explain the influence of peer influ ence on teens’ behavior?A. By using a metaphor（比喻）.B. By giving examples.C. By presenting research findings.D. By performing an in-depth analysis（分析）.49. According to the text, with peers around them, teenagers tend to（倾向于）______.A. use more self-controlB. become more careful about what they doC. perform better than when they are aloneD. focus more on short-term benefits（利益）50. What can we learn from the text?A. Teenagers are easy to have traffic accidents.B. Peer influence is bad on teenagers.C. Most of the teenagers become less violent when they grow up.D. Teenagers shouldn’t spend all the free time with their friends.第Ⅱ卷非选择题（共50分）四、阅读表达（阅读短文，按要求完成短文后的各项任务）（10分）What is the strongest p art of your body? Your head? Bones? It’s your teeth! There is a special thing called enamel（牙釉质）in teeth.It is the hardest thing in the human body and keeps bacteria（细菌）away. However, teeth are vulnerable（易受伤害的）to problems anddisease. September 20 is National Teeth-loving Day in China. Let’spay attention to the health of our teeth.Tooth （1） are （1） around the world. Most children and young adults have tooth decay（龋齿）. A study published on China Health Monthly magazine this year showed that 40.74 percent of a sample（抽样）of 1,306 Chinese students under age 15 had decayed teeth.（2）Food that is rich in sugar increases the risk of tooth decay. After you eat, bacteria go crazy over the sugar on your teeth, like ants at a picnic. The bacteria turn sugar into acids（酸）that eat away at tooth enamel. This cause holes in your teeth.Another common problem is crooked teeth（龅牙）. When your new teeth begin to grow and the old teeth haven’t fallen out, there isn’t enough space for the new ones. This causes crooked teeth.Don’t worry. Here are some ways to keep your teeth healthy.Brush at least twice a day – in the morning and before bedtime.Learn to use dental floss（牙线）. The floss gets rid of food that’s hidden where your toothbrush can’t get it.Visit a dentist. He or she can check if you have any dental problems and helpyou clean your teeth.Pay attention to what you eat. It is better to eat lots offruits and vegetables instead of fries and drink water insteadof soda.Wear braces（牙套）to make your teeth straight and beautiful.51. 在（1）处的空白处分别填入一个适当的词使句意完整、上下文通顺。

It is a sweet job for a sweet tooth. However, the person needs to be good at maths. Chocolate has a melting (融化) point close to our body temperature. For that reason, chocolate melts easily in hot weather. You might think the advertisement from Cambridge University is funny, but if there is really a “doctor of chocolate”, he or she will help people a lot._________One logo (商标) isn’t too expensive to print because it doesn’t need much ink, but printing a large number of logos could cost a lot. In order to save money and energy, an American design company made small changes to some famous brands, such as Nike, McDonald’s and Starbucks, to cut the cost. The design company remained the main body of these logos, but left an empty space inside. The logos look almost the same, but in this way, the famous brands could save 39 percent of the ink during the printing. Let’s hope other companies will take this advice. The way will save them money and use less energy, too.Funny menu for childrenDining out with children can be an unpleasant experience for most parents, because kids are always runninground the whole restaurant, saying “I don’t know what I want” or “I’m not hungry.” But now, a Maryland restaurant has created the “Kid Friendlies” menu. It translates children’s words into meals to help parents order for their kids. A father said, “As a dad, I think this is on the money.” Here is the menu.Kid Friendlies“I don’t know.” - - - Triple Layer PB&J“I don’t care.” - - - Grilled Peanut Butter & BananaSandwich“I am not hungry.” - - - Basket of Chicken Tenders“I don’t want that.” - - - Kids Fries“What?” - - - Cheese Quesadilla31.

Which logo of Nike best matches the idea of the American design company?A. B. C. D.34. A parent may order ________ if his child doesn’t mind what to eat.A. Basket of Chicken TendersB. Grilled Peanut Butter & Banana SandwichC. Triple Layer PB&JD. Cheese Quesadilla35. What is the best title of the second article?A. A design companyB. Ways to print a logoC. Logos of famous brandsD. Less ink less waste.C①Imagine this: when you sit down and begin to eat a tasty tomato, suddenly it starts to cry! This thing will never really happen, but a new study shows that plants can make sounds when they are stressed.②Researchers from Tel Aviv University in Israel did the study. They used ultrasonic microphones (超声波麦克风) to record the sounds of tomato plants in boxes.③Three groups of plants were listened to: One group wasn’t watered for five days, another group had the stems (茎) cut off, and the third group was untouched. It turned out that the first two groups made sounds 30 to 50 times per hour, while the untouched group only made the sound once per hour. “When tomatoes are not stressed at all, they are very quiet,” Hadany from the team told CNN.④The researchers didn’t know how the sounds were made, but they believed the noise came from the breaking of air bubbles (泡) in the plants. This meant the noise produced by the plants was not on purpose.⑤Animals and insects may benefit (受益) from the sound. For example, the sound can tell a butterfly that the plant is under stress and not a proper place to lay eggs on. An animal that wants to eat a plant could also use the sounds to decide what to do, according to Science Focus.⑥After the experiment, the researchers listened to other plants such as rice, corn and grapes, and found they also made more sounds when stressed. Researchers said the study can help farmers in the future, as they can better take care of farm by “hearing” how plants feel.36. According to the experiment, we know that _______.A. the plants produced the noise on purposeB. the plants which had the stems cut off were very quietC. air bubbles in the plants broke and made the noiseD. the untouched group made more sounds than the other two groups37. How can animals and insects benefit from the sound of plants?A. To communicate by themselves.B. To break the air bubbles.C. To listen to other plants.D. To make right decisions.38. The study may help farmers to _______ in the future.A. improve the growth of plantsB. protect the environmentC. tell the weatherD. decide what to plant39. Which of the following is the structure of the passage?A. ①|②③④|⑤⑥B. ①②|③④⑤|⑥C. ①②|③④|⑤⑥D. ①②③|④⑤|⑥40. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Plants that make sounds are tasty.B. Plants can show feelings by sounds.C. Researchers listen to plants.D. Animals benefit from the sounds.DHow would you like to build a time machine? Paper, sticks, glue and string are all you need. Put them together to build a kite. A kite connects you to the past.No one knows who flew the first kite. It was probably someone in China or perhaps Indonesia. Indonesian fishermen hung fishhooks on kites and sent them out to sea to catch fish. Starting 2,000 years ago, Chinese farmers flew kites to welcome the New Year and bring good luck to Earth.In China, people also used kites during the war. One Chinese story tells how people put noise makers on kites and flew them at night over the enemy camp. The enemies were afraid of the noise and ran away.About 1,300 years ago, Chinese travelers took kites to Japan. Soon kites filled the skies there. Kites reached Thailand about 700 years ago. During floods, Thai farmers flew kites over their fields. They hoped the kites would drive away the clouds and stop the rain. Over time, kites flew their way out of Asia. Today more and more people are crazy about flying kites. They are a passion all over the world. Kite fans meet at festivals in many parts of the world and have great fun together.Over the years kites have also helped people understand the natural world. For example, in 1906, cameras hanging from kites took pictures of San Francisco, California after an earthquake. The photos helped people plan what to do. Kites also helped inventors find out how to make airplanes. The Wright brothers studied how kites flew, which helped them make the first successful airplane.Since the ancient Chinese first set their kites into the air, people have loved flying kites. Kites give us ways to celebrate, relax and explore. So go fly a kite! Enjoy the feeling that kite flyers have felt for centuries.41. In which countries were kites used to make good wishes?A.
