Over the years,teens have invented excellent things that solve problems and have changed the ways people doTake fourteen-year-old Eliott Sarrey for example. He invented Bot2Karot,a gardening robot thatcan take care of a small vegetable garden. The robot is controlled by an app on a smartphone. Ithelps people grow and take care of vegetables. It also saves water and energy,and makes gardeningeasy for people who are very busy or have difficulty getting around. Brooke Martin is an animal lover who missed her dog when she was away. So she inventediCPooch when she was just twelve years old. The iCPooch lets pet owners check on their pets fromanywhere in the world using a smartphone. It also allows owners to use their smartphone cameras tovideo chat with their pets.Fourteen-year-old inventor Robert Saunt was tired of buying or borrowing different video-gamecontrollers for each game console(操控器) . So he invented a controller called Game Blox. It can beused with four of the most popular game consoles. His invention will save players a lot of money andspace,and it will save 330 million kg of materials every year.Kids all over the world find ways to solve problems every day. Who knows?Maybe the next timeyou have a problem,you'll come up with the next amazing idea!you.A. Bot2KarotB. iCPoochC. Game BloxD. Smartphone Cameras22. Brooke Martin invented iCPooch when she was .A. 4B. 10C. 12D. 1423. According to the passage,Robert Saunt .A. is an animal loverB. was tired of playing gamesC. invented a controllerD. helps with gardeningBParisian architect(建筑师)Paul Andreu has designed so many landmark buildings in China.Among his best known are the National Grand Theatre in Beijing,the Jinan Grand Theatre and ShanghaiPudong International Airport. Andreu is nearly 80 and he continues to develop projects in China. The world famous architect,writer and painter held his first art show last summer in Beijing where he sat down for this interview.How was it that you went from architecture to writing—and more recently to painting?I have a desire to create,for continuous renewal. While I can't say that I know everything aboutarchitecture,I no longer have much to prove or discover. For me,painting is just as important,creatively,but it's something you do alone in your workshop,with a piece of paper and a pot ofink—it's totally refreshing.Why did you wait so many years to start painting?It was a kind of need. I was tired off in my field and wanted to try something new and I tried toimprove this situation by writing. But writing is a very long process—it takes at least a year to write abook. Painting is faster. Being alone with yourself during the day,in the light,and then puttingyourself in a situation where you produce something of which you know nothing and for which no onehas asked—it's a kind of freedom you seldom have in life.What is your project in China right now?There's a project in the Zhuhai Macao area. The Chinese engineering and building companyZhuhai Da Heng Qin asked French architect Thomas Coldefy to think about the project,suggestingthat he work with an architect who's already known in China. He asked me if I'd be willing to dosome of the work. We'll present the project some time before December;the planned completion date24. Paul Andreu has gone from architecture to painting because .A. he likes paper and inkB. he thinks painting is fasterC. he has a desire to createD. he has to prove that he is great25. Where is Paul Andreu's project in China now?A. In Beijing.B. In Jinan.C. In Shanghai Pudong.D. In the Zhuhai Macao area.26. What do you know about Paul Andreu from the passage?A. His achievements.B. His challenges.C. His worries.D. His habits.CAfter the holiday season,our guess is that you are tired from visiting the store and buying gifts.It is easy to get stuck,both spiritually and physically by having too much. This is why minimalismand living simply should be your resolution for 2018.Economic development results in a lot of consumerism(消费 ):get a good job,get a nice car,and settle into a beautiful house. But some people say that our lives could use a little lightening thesedays:We work and work and work to only buy and buy and buy—but does all that material wealthreally lead to our happiness?Are we filling our time with unnecessary things,when we should befilling our time with friends,value,and service?problem with this cycle(循环 )in the best way,“ Nobody really believes happiness is directly tied to the number of things we own.Yet almost all of us live like it. We get stuck in it. We work more hours than ever before, earn moreincome, but save less.”Minimalism isn't all about ridding(摆脱 )consumerism and products from your life. Minimalismis about finding your own sense of self and focusing on the things you love. It is about creating alifestyle that is focused on only those people and things that enrich you.These days,minimalistic living can come in many forms. We think the most practical form ofminimalistic living for us is to follow our list:How You Can Live Lighter in 2018.Purge Your Closet:Take a day and clear out all of your drawers and closets. If somethingdoesn't have special meaning or adds no value to your life—give it away. Have only what youneed and what you can see.Test Those Limits:See how long you can go without shopping. Give yourself a limit,whether itbe two weeks or six months,whether it be avoiding a certain mall or buyingyour self will to the test. After your allowed time,chances are you will realize all those extrablouses weren't worth it and you will set yourself up for future spending control.Cut the Cord:This sometimes means giving up your modern technology:TV,cell phone,computer,etc. Limit yourself to only a few hours of TV per week,or only 30 minutes of socialmedia per day. You'll make more time for the things and people that you love and clear outsome unnecessary noise from your life.Live to Your Goals:Find out what your life goals and values are. Then,see what may help youor stop you from achieving this goal. Cut out that which doesn't lead to your happiness andsuccess and add more of what does.Remember,a pared down lifestyle doesn't mean less success or less happiness. It representsyour freedom to focus on the things in life that really matter.27. The cycle “ people work and work only to buy and buy” shows .A. people get stuck physically and spirituallyB. people don't believe wealth leads to happinessC. people don't want to save moreD. people fall in love with buyingA. give away your drawers and closetsB. go to the shopping mall every six monthsC. have 30 minutes of social media per dayD. discover your life goals and values29. The words “pared down”in the last paragraph probably mean “” .A. freeB. lightC. popularD. convenient30. Which of the following best explains the writer's opinion?A. It might take you a long time to wait for the “ right”thing.B. Clear out the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.C. Change yourself with the development of society.D. Freedom is more important than success.DA research study has looked into what happens inside your brain while you read and listen to music.You know that thrill(兴奋 )you get when listening to your favorite music?That exciting feelingwhen you hear your favorite songs?According to a recent study,it seems the same thing can happenwhile you are reading,but not with every kind of text. This opens up interesting questions aroundhow music,reading and emotions are connected in the brain.The study“We decided we would do a comparison between four or five different kinds of texts to see howthe brain reacted,”explains Adam Zeman,a scientist. “The participants (参与者 )lay in an MRIscanner reading the texts,and then we compared brain activity for those five texts.”The texts ranged(涉及 )from deadly boring ones to highly exciting ones,including the Highway Code,parts fromnovels,and poems.So what happened in the participants brains while they were reading?Emotional reactionAs the researchers observed,participants found some texts more emotional than others. Whenreading these emotional texts,there was higher activity in brain areas related to pleasure andreward—the same areas related to the thrill we get when we listen to music. As Zeman says,“ itperfectly shows that the emotional reaction to literature(文学 )and to music has quite a bit incommon. So it doesn't seem to matter whether you are listening or reading if you get a thrill. That wasone quite strong finding.”Introspection(内省 )There were more interesting findings. Reading poetry is often considered an activity thatrequires us to use the brain,but did the study find any truth of this?Whenthe participants werereading poems,the team found there was more activity in a particular group of brain areas called theDefault Network. “ These areas seem to be related to things we do with our minds when we areresting,like thinking about what's happened to us recently,thinking about what's going to happen inthe near future,about other people,and that network seems to be more strongly related to poetrythan with other texts,”explains Zeman. This connection between poetry and introspection could bethe subject of further research.ConclusionsThe study shows that the different texts activate different areas of our brains when we read.Zeman says,“the study did support what we thought:reaction to literature was going to be a bit likethe one to music in terms of emotion. We felt that we ended up with a great deal of unansweredquestions which we hope somebody will continue to ask.”31. What did the research try to find out?A. How music helps us read different kinds of texts.B. What kind of texts most people like while listening to music.C. Why reading different texts causes different reactions in emotion.D. Whether reading can cause similar emotional reaction like musicdoes.32. What did the participants do in the study?A. They listened to music.B. They read different texts.C. They answered many questions.D. They compared brain activities.33. What can we learn from the study?A. The emotional texts work better for the research.B. Poetry reading can activate the Default Network.C. Music helps to bring pleasure and reward.D. People think about the past when resting.四、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。(共 10分,每小题2分 )Mom's Recipe for LifeI have a lot of Mom's recipes in a blue box where all my special ones were put,like thepumpkin pie she made during my growing up years. Even so,the recipe I treasure most is not on anyindex card,nor did she send it to me in a letter. Instead,she lived this recipe all of her life.My mother grew up in a small coal mining town in southwest Iowa. My grandfather once told methat she knew no stranger;she considered everyone in that community her friend. That attitudecontinued wherever she lived for the rest of her life.As a teen,I was embarrassed(尴尬的 )every time my mother talkedto strangers and offered asmile to everyone in the store or on the city bus. Almost all of them responded(回应 )with a brightsmile of their own. Some spoke,others nodded their heads at this elderly woman who brought a littlelight into their day.What really sold me on Mom's approach to life was her experience on the senior bus. The weeksI could not be there,she used this low cost transportation to the grocery store. After her first trip,Iasked her how it went.“ Ha!”she said,“ I got on that bus and what did I see?Thirteen little old ladies and one oldman,and not one word was spoken.”I wondered how long it would be until the silence on that bus would change. On my next visit,Mom mentioned the 13 little old ladies on the bus and something one of them had told her.“ Oh,are you talking with them now?”I asked.“ Of course,”she said. “ One day I climbed up the steps of the bus and before I looked for aseat,I gave them a big smile and I said,‘Isn't it a wonderful day?I noticed a few shy smiles.”Mom didn't give up. She greeted them all each time she got on the bus and before long,thewhole group was laughing and talking to one another. The bus became more than just transportation.When we went to the various stores,I watched as she smiled and chatted with perfect strangers.Some of them looked like the poorest person you'd ever met,but once Mom smiled at them andstarted a conversation,most responded favorably. My mother didn't embarrass me any longer. I foundmyself admiring her.She's been gone for ten years but I've carried on her recipe for life. It was me who had done thesmiling first and all those people had responded. My mother didn't lecture but taught me by example.She'd given me a recipe for life.34. Where did the writer's mom grow up?35. Did the people talk on the bus on Mom's first trip?36. What did Mom do to make the bus more than transportation?37. How did the writer feel about Mom in the end?38. What is Mom's recipe for life?书面表达 (共 10分 )五、文段表达 ( 10分 )39. 从下面两个题目中任选一题,根据中文和英文提示,完成一篇不少于 50词的文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出你的校名和姓名。假如你是李华,为庆祝 6月 5日世界环境日,你们学校组织主题为“我们的地球我们的家园 ( One Earth One Family)”的志愿者活动。请你写一封电子邮件给外教 Peter,邀请他来参加活动。主要内容包括 :活动的时间和地点,你们准备做些什么,以及你们做这些事情的原因。提示词语 :plant,recycle,speech,clean,beautiful提示问题 :1.

If students don’t pass a test, they get a different kind of grade “Not Yet” instead of “Failed”. In her TED presentation The Power of Believing You Can Improve, Carol Dweck, a psychologist(心理学家),explains the power of “Not Yet”:If you get a failing grade,you think you’re nothing. But if you get the grade “Not Yet”,you understand that you’re on the way to the future.In one study led by Dweck, she wanted to see how children dealt with challenges and difficulties. She gave l0-year-old children problems that werea bit too hard for them. “Some of them behaved in a surprisingly positive way,’’ex plained Dweck. “They said things like ‘1 love a challenge" or ‘1 think I’velearned something from this. These children had a “growth mindset”. They understood that their abilities could be developed. They didn’t run from error(失误);they learned from it.But other children felt it was terrible to make an error. They felt their intelligence(才智)had been used up. These children had a “fixed mindset”.They didn’t believe they could do anything to improve the situation. In thefollow-up studies, Dweck learned these children were more likely to cheat.They looked for someone who did worse than they did so they could feel better about themselves. The children with a fixed mindset were operating from the “Now”,however, the children with a growth mindset were operating from the “Not Yet”.We all have things we want to improve. The problem, however, is few ofus believe we can. We believe we’re not smart, or we don’t have enough time.We believe we can’t persist (坚持)in the face of difficulties or learn fromcriticism(批评).It’s a result of a fixed mindset. But the wonderful reality is wecan move from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset once we know how.First, believe you can change, now. Not tomorrow, next week, nextmonth, or next year, but now.Next, for every negative(负面的)thought, write down a positive answer.So when your self-talk says,“I tried running before and gave up after a week. ”,you can reply, “That’s because I didn’t have a carefully designed plan. Now Ihave one and I’m going to stick to it. ’’Developing a growth mindset takes time and effort, but over time, with enoughpractice, you’ll operate less from the “Now” and more from the “Not Yet”.27. Why does the school in Chicago use “Not Yet” instead of “Failed” to gradestudents?A. To keep students from losing confidence.B. To help students realize their weak points.C. To advise students to take the test a second time.D. To make students understand their future is uncertain.28. Which of the following statements shows that the person has a “growthminds et”?A. “I failed in the task. I was nothing. ’’B. “I can’t stick to taking exercise. I’m too busy. ”C. “I know math is interesting but I am not smart for it. ”D. “I didn’t win the competition but I learned a lot from it. ”29. What can we learn from the passage?A. Most people believe they can improve themselves.B. Dweck did the study to help children get better grades.C. Some children cheated in the study and were punished.D. People can follow some ways to develop a growth mindset.27. A28.D29.D30. B【海淀二模】CLyme Disease —A Medical MysteryIn the autumn of 1975, lots of people in Lyme, Connecticut, suffered from a strange illness. Two doctors from Yale, Allan Steere and Stephen Malawista, began a study that would result in an important medical discovery.The doctors began by having careful examinations of each patient. They found the patients of all ages were having a set of things hardly seen together, such as headaches, skin rashes (皮疹), swollen knees, fever, tiredness and so on. There was also a high rate of arthritis (关节炎), a painful condition around the knees. No reasons could be found through blood tests. However, they found the most useful information in the interviews with the patients: one quarter of them recalled a skin rash about four weeks before the arthritis appeared.Then the Department of Health did surveys with the Yale doctors to learn where the disease was most widely seen. It seemed that most patients lived in heavily wooded areas, away from the center of town. Besides, most patients spent a good deal of time outdoors, gardening, camping, or playing. More importantly, some recalled having been bitten by a tick.By 1977, researchers began to believe that the deer tick was responsible. Then they discovered that a special type of bacteria (细菌), carried by the deer tick, was causing the disease. It was later named Lyme bacteria. The deer tick often feeds on deer. But we can also find it on mice. Scientists then concluded that the bacteria passed from wildlife to ticks to humans. All lived closely among one another in the area.How could a disease break out so suddenly? Many areas of the northeast, including Lyme, Connecticut, were once farmland. Over the years, the farmland was replanted with trees. After the forest grew in, all kinds of wildlife appeared. At the same time, this area was developed with houses. Gradually, neighborhoods pushed deeper into the home of the wildlife. Humans became more likely to meet more ticks and get the disease.After much research, the cause of Lyme disease was successfully identified (确认), thanks to the hard work of many scientists, doctors and patients. Today, more and more people have knowledge of Lyme disease, which is easily treated if caught early.27. Which helped Dr. Steere and Dr. Malawista most?A. Having interviews with the patients.B. Examining the patients carefully.C. Separating the patients into age groups.D. Doing blood tests among the patients.28. Which of the following is true about Lyme disease?A.Little is known about Lyme disease today.B.Most of the patients lived in the center of town.C.More trees could keep people away from the disease.D.Wildlife spread the bacteria to ticks and then to humans.29. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?A. To describe how Lyme disease was treated.B. To warn people not to go outdoors in the forest.C. To introduce how the cause of Lyme disease was found.D. To criticize the people who spread Lyme disease around.27. A 28. D 29. C【朝阳二模】CIt turns out that a scientist can see the future by watchingfour-year-olds with a sweet. The researcher invites the children into asimple room. “You can have this sweet right now,”he says. “But if youwait while I go out for a few minutes, you can have two sweets when I get back.” And then he leaves.Some children eat the sweet the moment he’s out the door. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others make up their mind to wait. They cover their eyes, they put their heads down, they sing to themselves, they try to play games or even fall asleep. When the researcher returns, he gives these children their sweets. And then, science waits for them to grow up.By the time the children reach high school, something unusual has happened. A survey of the children’s parents and teachers found that those who as four-year-olds were strong-minded enough to hold out for the second sweet generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable teenagers. The children who gave in to temptation(诱惑) early on were more likely to be lonely and easily upset.When we think of excellence, we see Einstein—deep-eyed, woolly-haired, a thinking machine. High achievers, we imagine, were born for greatness. But then you have to wonder why, over time, natural talent seems to flower in some, yet disappear in others. This is where the sweets come in. The ability to put off the pleasure of meeting needs is a master skill, a victory of the reasoning brain over the impulsive (冲动的) one. It is a sign, in short, of emotional intelligence. And it doesn’t show up on an IQ test.In his book Emotional Intelligence, Daniel Goleman argues that brain power as measured by IQ actually matters less than qualities of mind like understanding one’s own feelings, empathy(同情)—being sensitive to other people’s feeling—and the ability to manage your own emotions. EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers are trying to understand is how they work to improve each other. Among the ingredients (因素) for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%: the rest depends on everything from luck, to social class… and emotional intelligence. In the business world, according to personal executives (主管), IQ gets you a job, but EQ gets you a higher position.27. Some children get two sweets in the research because they ______.A. have a strong mindB. like eating sweetsC. play games togetherD. sing to themselves28. Which of the following doesn’t belong to EQ according to the passage?A. Being able to get a job.B. Understanding one’s own feelings.C. Being able to control one’s emotions.D. Understanding the feelings of others.29. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?A. To introduce the book called Emotional Intelligence.B. To explain the importance of emotional intelligence.C. To share some ways of developing emotional intelligence.D. To share some examples of improving emotional intelligence.(C) 27. A 28. A 29. B【丰台二模】CLearning vocabulary doesn’t have to be borin gMany students have problems with vocabulary when preparingfor tests like the SATs. Last week, TEENS offered advice onhow to memorize new words. If you’re now familiar with thosemethods, why not try moving on to the next stage by usingthe following tips to build up your English vocabulary.Repeated encounters (反复遇见)The usual way of “mem orizing” new material is through repeating it while it’s still in your mind. However, simply repeating a word seems to have little long-term effect.But one kind of repetition is effective: repetition of encounters with a word. Words stand a good chance of being remembered if they’ve been met at least seven times in your reading, at intervals (相隔一段时间). So, read English magazines, newspapers, and websites regularly.Spacing and reviewIt’s better to distribute (分配) memory work over a period of time rather than do it in a single session (一段时间). This is known as the “principle of distributedpractice”, where new vocabulary introduced in one lesson is reviewed in the next, and then in later lessons.Use it or lose itPutting words to use in interesting ways helps add them to your long-termmemory. In a study of vocabulary learning, students who made up their own sentenceswith new words and read them aloud remembered them better than those who learnedthe words separately and silently. Best of all, students were given the task of silentlyimagining a picture in their minds to go with a new word. So it might help if learnerslink words with a mental image.Mix it upLet’s face it —learning words can be really boring, but it doesn’t have to be.Thanks to the Internet, there are more interesting ways to get the job done. Trywatching videos from English-speaking social media celebrities and copying the waythey speak. You could even upload your own videos and try becoming a staryourself.27. According to the passage, a good way of memorizing new words isA. simply repeating themB. learning the words silentlyC. reviewing them in one lessonD. reading English magazines regularly28. To make learning words more interesting, we can.A. try to become a famous starB. read new words on websitesC. make and upload our own English videosD. draw a picture on the paper with a new word29. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Where to use new words.B. How to memorize new words.C. When to learn new words.D. What to write with new words.27. D 28. C 29. B【石景山二模】C“Text Neck is not just a texting problem,” said Dr. Dean Fishman. “Text Neck is a gaming problem. Text Neck is an e-mailing problem.”Fishman made up the term “Text Neck ” in 2008 whileexamining a 17-year-old patient. The teen came in complaining ofneck pain. Fishman noticed that the teen was sitting in a chair,bending (弯曲) over her smartphone, texting away. “I knew I had something,” Fishman said.A recent study published in Surgical Technology International ’s 25th edition says texting may be hurting your back. The study found that bending your head to look at your mobile phone held in your hands can put up to 60 pounds of pressure (压力) on your neck. The average human head weighs 10 pounds in a right position – when your ears are over your shoulders. For every inch you bend your head forward, the pressure on your back doubles.Staying in the “forward head posture ” can lead to many problems. Over time, it can even change the natural curve (曲线) of your neck.Dr. Michelle Collie, director of Performance Physical Therapy in Rhode Island, recently says Text Neck has increased very quickly, especially among her younger patients. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 8- to 18-year-olds spend almost seven and a half hours using mobile device or desktop computer for fun every day.So what’s a smartphone-texting, laptop-loving guy to do?First, Collie said, is to pay attention to your body. Keep your feet flat on the floor, roll your shoulders back and keep your ears directly over them so your head isn’t bent forward. And use something to support the weight of a mobile device.Fishman’s Text Neck Institute created a mobile app to help you remember to avoid forward head posture. When your phone is held at a safe point, a green light shines. When you’re at risk for Text Neck, a red light appears.Most important is taking breaks from time to time while using any mobile device or desktop computer. About every 20 minutes, stand up, roll your shoulders and neck or go for a short walk to have a break.27. What might Fishman mean by saying “I knew I had something”?A. He had the same smartphone as the patient.B. He got a new name for the patient’s pain.C. He wanted to play a joke on the patient.D. He had the same idea with the patient.28. According to the passage, your head is in the right position when ______.A. you bend over your neck oftenB. your ears are over your shouldersC. you turn your neck to the other sideD. you put up more pressure on your neck29. The last three paragraphs are mainly talking about ______.A. how to make Text Neck appsB. what causes Text NeckC. how to avoid Text NeckD. the results of Text Neck27. B 28. B 29. C【昌平二模】CHavefunandgetsmarter?W e all know about the pleasure and fun that we get from playing video games. There’s the satisfaction of finally reaching the last level of a game after months of trying. Some experts now say that as well as offering pleasure, video games might also be good for you.T oo good to be true?It seems that when you play video games, you might get some very important skills. They are great for your concentration (集中注意力). Being able to focus is a skill you can use at school or later, in a job. Fitness (健身) games, which are very popular, allow you to practise sports skills like balancing. A lot ofgames also teach decision-making skills. For example when you have to choose the best way to escape from a burning building in a game, you’re learning how to solve problems and make your decision quickly. Gaming teaches you about success and failure too. A lot of games are difficult, and you have to work hard to reach the top level, which teaches you that in life you can succeed if you keep on trying. On the other hand, games teach you that if you fail, don’t give up – have a break, and then try again.Some psychologists (心理学家) believe that role-playing games are particularly valuable. In thevirtual environment, young people can take on roles which are often not possible for them in real life. Y ou can become a leader, and have to deal with people who lie to you, or hide things from you. By dealing with these situations, you can develop socialskills that might help you in the real world when you’re older.Gaming does have its disadvantages, of course. Playing for a while is great, but people who play for hours can have problems. Physically, it can stop you from getting enough exercises, which is unhealthy.Psychologically, some players can become addicted (上瘾) to their games and begin to prefer their “virtual” lives, where they are always in control.But overall, playing video games is not harmful, unless you spend too much time. While you’re building your city, or looking after your farm in a game, you’re also developing skills that will stay with you for the rest of your life.27. What does the underlined word “virtual” mean?A. Unclear.B. Unreal.C. Valuable.D. Possible.28. How does the writer think of video games?A. They’re harmful to our study and work.B. They give us chances to realize our dream.C. Playing video games is bad for our health.D. Video games can benefit us in many ways.29. What does gaming teach usabout success and failure?A. A void the difficult top levels.B. Choose the best way to play.C. Believe in hard trying for success.D. Get enough rest after each failure.27-29 BDC【房山二模】CThe computer makes doing schoolwork easier for me than it was for my mom and dad. For example, when writing book reports and storing, I use Microsoft Word instead of a pen and paper. That way, after my teacher edits(编辑) my work, I can go back and make revisions without having to rewrite the whole thing. And Microsoft Word has a spell check! I use it all the time.For English class, we’re reading The Outsiders, by S. E. Hinton. As a pre-reading task, my teacher asked us to research teenage groups on the Internet. I tried Google, Encarta, and Yahoo first, and finally found an article on Time. com.For a geography task on the United States, I used Encarta to learn about the Mississippi River. I needed to find out how deep the river is, how its widths and depths are different, what states it runs through, and what kind of fish live in it. I usedthe information to show how the geography of a country influences its economy (经济). For example, the river’s trade paths, the number of fish caught in it, and the tourists it attracts directly influence Southerners’ jobs and incomes (收入).I never go to the library to do research. It takes too much time. Since I live in New York City and both my parents work, getting to the library isn’t always easy. For a big assignment or research project, I used to stay at the library to read, or sign out whatever books or magazines I needed. Now being able to find the information in my own living room makes everything a lot simpler. Online dictionaries and encyclopedias (百科全书) also save time.Sometimes, I think the computer spoils young people because i t’s so easy —at least physically. But computers are not like television, which does the thinking for you. You still have to use your mind. I prefer using a computer. Easy, fun, and fast.27. When writing book reports, the computer can help the writer _____.A. call his teacher to edit his work.B. go back home and review his workC. rewrite his work and correct his mistakesD. store his work and check his spelling mistakes28. The writer probably agrees that______.A. a teacher’s work is much easier than beforeB. English and geography are the most important subjectsC. computers are better than TV for not doing the thinking for usD. students should use computer less and do more exercise every day29. What’s the passage mainly about?A.Teenagers and computers.B.School subjects and computers.e of computers in teenagers’ studies.D.The advantages and disadvantages of computers.27.D 28.C 29.C。

(共26分,每小题2分)AThings You Can Do to Help the EnvironmentThe biggest use ofhome energy is forcooling and heating. Soturn up your airconditioner (空调) and turn down the heat, especially at night. Replace regular light bulbs with fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯), which use less energy.Cars are getting bigger, even 5 meters long. They burn more gas and increase problems with acid rain and air pollution. So try to walk, bicycle, or use public transportation. This can save more gas and reduce pollution. Each American throws away an average (平均) of 10 kilograms of trash (垃圾) every day. Reduce waste before you buy by thinking it carefully: Do I need it? Is it something I can only use once? Buy products that you can use over and over again.Showers use a lot of water. In one week, a typical American family uses as much water as a person drinks in 3 years! Buy a special “low-flow” showerhead or take shorter showers. Thiscan cut water use inhalf.21.

He has managed to put his words into action showing those around him that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.As the son of working parents, Fila had to make the most of every opportunity no matter how small.“I remember there was a small basketball hoop near where I lived. It looked like it was from the 1940s and there was no net.”He remembered. But that was Fila’s introduction tosports and played an important role in his life.Fila played high school football in Sedalia, Colo. In order to prove his talent, Fila went to West Hills Community College in Fresno, Calif, where he played football for two years. A serious leg injury (伤害) in his second season seemingly prevented his plans of playing at a four-year college, but there was another college that was taken by Fila’s ability and offered him a chance to play two more years.Fila got a starting position on the Beaver football team as a wide receiver and played in all 22 games of the 2016 and 2017 seasons. It’s Fila’s achievements that set him apart from the traditional student players.There’re so many ways to get educated. There’s education from life experience, school and social interaction. In addition to excelling (胜过) in the classroom and on the field, Fila started his own YouTube channel (频道), Motion Impact. It is through his channel that he produces motivational videos and offers them up to the viewing public.He would like to think those experiences will help with his biggest goal that he wants to make a difference to the world. On March 6th, 2017, Fila presented “College: My Story, Your Story”on how to make full use of the college experience.24.

But, it often makes a difference who the other person is. “I’m certain that when men judge women, appearance plays a greater role than when women judge other women,”said Lydia Maier, chairman of an association of color and style advisor.With the help of a mirror, a good female friend and a good male friend, on e’s own appearance can be completely valued. Some important questions are: What effect do I have on you? Why is that so? Do I want to have that effect or something completely different?The first place to look is in the closet (衣橱). “Good clothes are not contingent upon how much was spent on them. What’s important is that the clothes are clean, fit well, and match the personality of the person wearing them,”saidMaier. Depending on the occasion, choose a timeless, careful, or stylish set of clothes for an introduction.“Generally speaking, the importance of fashion has increased in recent years,”said Professor Gerhard Amendt, director of an institute at the University of Bremen. He sees a danger, however, that the personality of a person could be lost behind a fashionable appearance.Well-being and inner balance are shown in body language such as good behaviors, open expressions, smooth movements, and help to cause a positive appearance. People who are comfortable with themselves appear balanced to others. “You can do a lot for your own well-being,”said Stief. “It begins with clearing away major dissatisfactory things in your life.”Relaxation exercises, yoga or weight training help the progress of balance. Exercising also helps people look healthy and energetic.Expressive body language and gestures, appealing facial expressions, and communication skills can be learned by attending management meetings or adult education courses. No one becomes a perfect talk master through these means, but they help people recognize how others interpret their outward behaviors. “A considerable part in appearance is self-confidence,”said Amendt. “Only those people who are sure of themselves, who know their own strengths, and feel certain of them come across as self-confident and convincing (使人信服的).”30. What does Mahena Stief think of first impressions?A. Friendship is built on the first impression.B. Women consider appearance more important.C. Appearance affects the first impression greatly.D. Appearance plays a great role in making decisions.31. The words “contingent upon” in Para graph4 probably mean “______”.A. different fromB. filled withC. responsible forD. dependent on32. What can we learn from the passage?A. People seldom judge each other by appearance.B. Appearance needs to go with the personalities.C. Exercising helps people build self-confidence.D.

Jewelry was,and still is,in fashion all over the world. Through the years,people have worn jewelry for different 13 :to make themselves look beautiful,to protect them from bad things,and to14how much money they have.In South Africa,men in the Ndebele tribe(部落)often gave their15jewelry made of silver or gold rings. Ndebele women wore necklaces around their necks and bracelets around their arms. Rings were 16worn on their legs. The rings showed wealth. Awoman with many rings had a( n) 17husband. In the past,women only took the rings off whentheir husbands died. Today Ndebele women still wear the rings,but not all of the time.People in India have been wearing jewelry for more than 5,000 years. In the past,both menand women wore a lot of jewelry. Women wore as many as 50 bracelets at a time!Over time,men18wearing so much jewelry,but for women jewelry continues to be very important.In India,jewelry means safety. If a family has trouble with money,they can always 19their jewelry. And,as with the Ndebele tribe,jewelry means wealth. Indian women can expect toreceive jewelry as gifts for each important life event,such as birth,marriage,and becoming amother.In ancient China,people wore jewelry not just to show wealth but also for 20. They believedthat the jade(玉石)used in their jewelry was alive and that it could keep bad things away. ManyChinese people today still believe this,and some people only wear the bracelets on their left arms.13. A. reasons B. clothes C. places D. problems14. A. ask B. show C. guess D. explain15.

Over the years,teens have invented excellent things that solve problems and have changed the ways people dothings.Take fourteen-year-old Eliott Sarrey for example. He invented Bot2Karot,a gardening robot thatcan take care of a small vegetable garden. The robot is controlled by an app on a smartphone. Ithelps people grow and take care of vegetables. It also saves water and energy,and makes gardeningeasy for people who are very busy or have difficulty getting around.Brooke Martin is an animal lover who missed her dog when she was away. So she inventediCPooch when she was just twelve years old. The iCPooch lets pet owners check on their pets fromanywhere in the world using a smartphone. It also allows owners to use their smartphone cameras tovideo chat with their pets.Fourteen-year-old inventor Robert Saunt was tired of buying or borrowing different video-game controllers for each game console(操控器) . So he invented a controller called Game Blox. It can beused with four of the most popular game consoles. His invention will save players a lot of money andspace,and it will save 330 million kg of materials every year.Kids all over the world find ways to solve problems every day. Who knows?Maybe the next timeyou have a problem,you'll come up with the next amazing idea!21. If you have no time to take care of your vegetable garden,can help you.A. Bot2KarotB. iCPoochC. Game BloxD. Smartphone Cameras22. Brooke Martin invented iCPooch when she was .A. 4B. 10C. 12D. 1423. According to the passage,Robert Saunt .A. is an animal loverB. was tired of playing gamesC. invented a controllerD. helps with gardeningBParisian architect(建筑师)Paul Andreu has designed so many landmark buildings in China.Among his best known are the National Grand Theatre in Beijing,the Jinan Grand Theatre and Shanghai Pudong International Airport. Andreu is nearly 80 and he continues to develop projects in China. The world famous architect,writer and painter held his first art show last summer in Beijing where he sat down for this interview.How was it that you went from architecture to writing—and more recently to painting?I have a desire to create,for continuous renewal. While I can't say that I know everything about architecture,I no longer have much to prove or discover. For me,painting is just as important,creatively,but it's something you do alone in your workshop,with a piece of paper and a pot ofink—it's totally refreshing.Why did you wait so many years to start painting?It was a kind of need. I was tired off in my field and wanted to try something new and I tried toimprove this situation by writing. But writing is a very long process—it takes at least a year to write abook. Painting is faster. Being alone with yourself during the day,in the light,and then puttingyourself in a situation where you produce something of which you know nothing and for which no onehas asked—it's a kind of freedom you seldom have in life.What is your project in China right now?There's a project in the Zhuhai Macao area. The Chinese engineering and building companyZhuhai Da Heng Qin asked French architect Thomas Coldefy to think about the project,suggestingthat he work with an architect who's already known in China. He asked me if I'd be willing to dosome of the work. We'll present the project some time before December;the planned completion dateis in 2019.24. Paul Andreu has gone from architecture to painting because .A. he likes paper and inkB. he thinks painting is fasterC. he has a desire to createD. he has to prove that he is great25. Where is Paul Andreu's project in China now?A. In Beijing.B. In Jinan.C. In Shanghai Pudong.D. In the Zhuhai Macao area.26. What do you know about Paul Andreu from the passage?A. His achievements.B. His challenges.C. His worries.D. His habits.CAfter the holiday season,our guess is that you are tired from visiting the store and buying gifts.It is easy to get stuck,both spiritually and physically by having too much. This is why minimalismand living simply should be your resolution for 2018.Economic development results in a lot of consumerism(消费):get a good job,get a nice car,and settle into a beautiful house. But some people say that our lives could use a little lightening these days:We work and work and work to only buy and buy and buy—but does all that material wealthreally lead to our happiness?Are we filling our time with unnecessary things,when we should befilling our time with friends,value,and service?An article from the website,Becoming Minimalist,points out the problem with this cycle(循环) in the best way,“ Nobody really believes happiness is directly tied to the number of things we own.Yet almost all of us live like it. We get stuck in it. We work more hours than ever before,earn more income,but save less.”Minimalism isn't all about ridding(摆脱)consumerism and products from your life. Minimalismis about finding your own sense of self and focusing on the things you love. It is about creating alifestyle that is focused on only those people and things that enrich you.These days,minimalistic living can come in many forms. We think the most practical form of minimalistic living for us is to follow our list:How You Can Live Lighter in 2018.Purge Your Closet:Take a day and clear out all of your drawers and closets. If somethingdoesn't have special meaning or adds no value to your life—give it away. Have only what youneed and what you can see.Test Those Limits:See how long you can go without shopping. Give yourself a limit,whether itbe two weeks or six months,whether it be avoiding a certain mall or buying clothes. Then putyour self will to the test. After your allowed time,chances are you will realize all those extrablouses weren't worth it and you will set yourself up for future spending control.Cut the Cord:This sometimes means giving up your modern technology:TV,cell phone,computer,etc. Limit yourself to only a few hours of TV per week,or only 30 minutes of socialmedia per day. You'll make more time for the things and people that you love and clear outsome unnecessary noise from your life.Live to Your Goals:Find out what your life goals and values are. Then,see what may help youor stop you from achieving this goal. Cut out that which doesn't lead to your happiness andsuccess and add more of what does.Remember,a pared down lifestyle doesn't mean less success or less happiness. It representsyour freedom to focus on the things in life that really matter.27. The cycle “ people work and work only to buy and buy” shows .A. people get stuck physically and spirituallyB. people don't believe wealth leads to happinessC. people don't want to save moreD. people fall in love with buying28. To practise minimalistic living,you should .A. give away your drawers and closetsB. go to the shopping mall every six monthsC. have 30 minutes of social media per dayD. discover your life goals and values29. The words “ pared down”in the last paragraph probably mean “” .A. freeB. lightC. popularD. convenient30. Which of the following best explains the writer's opinion?A. It might take you a long time to wait for the “ right”thing.B. Clear out the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.C. Change yourself with the development of society.D. Freedom is more important than success.DA research study has looked into what happens inside your brain while you read and listen to music. You know that thrill(兴奋)you get when listening to your favorite music?That exciting feelingwhen you hear your favorite songs?According to a recent study,it seems the same thing can happen while you are reading,but not with every kind of text. This opens up interesting questions aroundhow music,reading and emotions are connected in the brain.The study“ We decided we would do a comparison between four or five different kinds of texts to see how the brain reacted,”explains Adam Zeman,a scientist. “ The participants (参与者)lay in an MRI scanner reading the texts,and then we compared brain activity for those five texts.”The texts ranged (涉及)from deadly boring ones to highly exciting ones,including the Highway Code,parts from novels,and poems.So what happened in the participants brains while they were reading?Emotional reactionAs the researchers observed,participants found some texts more emotional than others. When reading these emotional texts,there was higher activity in brain areas related to pleasure and reward—the same areas related to the thrill we get when we listen to music. As Zeman says,“ it perfectly shows that the emotional reaction to literature(文学)and to music has quite a bit in common. So it doesn't seem to matter whether you are listening or reading if you get a thrill. That was one quite strong finding.”Introspection(内省)There were more interesting findings. Reading poetry is often considered an activity thatrequires us to use the brain,but did the study find any truth of this?When the participants were reading poems,the team found there was more activity in a particular group of brain areas called the Default Network. “ These areas seem to be related to things we do with our minds when we are resting,like thinking about what's happened to us recently,thinking about what's going to happen in the near future,about other people,and that network seems to be more strongly related to poetrythan with other texts,”explains Zeman. This connecti on between poetry and introspection could bethe subject of further research.ConclusionsThe study shows that the different texts activate different areas of our brains when we read. Zeman says,“ the study did support what we thought:reaction to literatur e was going to be a bit like the one to music in terms of emotion. We felt that we ended up with a great deal of unanswered questions which we hope somebody will continue to ask.”31. What did the research try to find out?A. How music helps us read different kinds of texts.B. What kind of texts most people like while listening to music.C. Why reading different texts causes different reactions in emotion.D. Whether reading can cause similar emotional reaction like music does.32. What did the participants do in the study?A. They listened to music.B. They read different texts.C. They answered many questions.D. They compared brain activities.33. What can we learn from the study?A. The emotional texts work better for the research.B. Poetry reading can activate the Default Network.C. Music helps to bring pleasure and reward.D. People think about the past when resting.四、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。(共10分,每小题2分)Mom's Recipe for LifeI have a lot of Mom's recipes in a blue box where all my special ones were put,like thepumpkin pie she made during my growing up years.

This book is special because I worked with a closeforeign friend to translate some Chinese poems into English,which was very challenging. In order tomake them better accepted and easier to understand,we collected lots of materials from the libraryand the Internet. It took me and my friend one year to translate them.During the process of translating the poems and working with my friend,I learned a lot aboutthe world around me and really got in touch with my soul. Furthermore,I think my English is betterthan it used to be. Most importantly,I learned the value of teamwork. My friend and I weredetermined to finish this huge task and that's exactly what we did. I feel so proud of my achievementand I hope I can publish my book soon.书面表达评分标准第一档:( 10 ~ 9分)完全符合题目要求,观点正确,要点齐全。句式多样,词汇丰富。语言准确,语意连贯,表达清楚,具有逻辑性。第二档:( 8 ~ 6分)基本符合题目要求,观点正确,要点齐全。语法结构和词汇基本满足文章需要。语言基本通顺,语意基本连贯,表达基本清楚。虽然有少量语言错误,但不影响整体理解。第三档:( 5 ~ 3分)部分内容符合题目要求,要点不齐全。语法结构和词汇错误较多,语言不通顺,表达不够清楚,影响整体理解。第四档:( 2 ~ 0分)与题目有关内容不多,只是简单拼凑提示词语,所写内容难以理解。。

【西城二模】四、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。(共10分,每小题2分)Mom's Recipe for LifeI have a lot of Mom's recipes in a blue box where all my special ones were put,like the pumpkin pie she made during my growing up years. Even so,the recipe I treasure most is not on any index card,nor did she send it to me in a letter. Instead,she lived this recipe all of her life.My mother grew up in a small coal mining town in southwest Iowa. My grandfather once told me that she knew no stranger;she considered everyone in that community her friend. That attitude continued wherever she lived for the rest of her life.As a teen,I was embarrassed(尴尬的)every time my mother talked to strangers and offered a smile to everyone in the store or on the city bus. Almost all of them responded(回应)with a bright smile of their own. Some spoke,others nodded their heads at this elderly woman who brought a little light into their day.What really sold me on Mom's approach to life was her experience on the senior bus. The weeks I could not be there,,I asked her how it went.“ Ha!”she said,“ I got on that bus and what did I see?Thirteen little old ladies and one old man,and not one word was spoken.”I wondered how long it would be until the silence on that bus would change. On my next visit,Mom mentioned the 13 little old ladies on the bus and something one of them had told her.“ Oh,are you talking with them now?”I asked.“ Of course,”she said. “ One day I climbed up the steps of the bus and before I looked for a seat,I gave them a big smile and I said,‘ Isn't it a wonderful day?I noticed a few shy smiles.”Mom didn't give up. She greeted them all each time she got on the bus and before long,the whole group was laughing and talking to one another. The bus became more than just transportation.When we went to the various stores,I watched as she smiled and chatted with perfect strangers. Some of them looked like the poorest person you'd ever met,but once Mom smiled at them and started a conversation,most responded favorably. My mother didn't embarrass me any longer. I found myself admiring her.She's been gone for ten years but I've carried on her recipe for life. It was me who had done the smiling first and all those people had responded. My mother didn't lecture but taught me by example. She'd given me a recipe for life.34. Where did the writer's mom grow up?35. Did the people talk on the bus on Mom's first trip?36. What did Mom do to make the bus more than transportation?37. How did the writer feel about Mom in the end?38. What is Mom's recipe for life?34. In a small coal mining town in southwest Iowa.35. No,they didn't.36. She greeted them all each time she got on the bus.37. Proud.38. The attitude of considering everyone her friend.【东城二模】四、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。

(共10分,每小题2分)P. I. C. K. the Right Books for YouThe secret to learn how to choose the right book is simple. It’s one wordyou can depend on when you’re in a library or a bookstore. All you need toremember is “ P. I. C. K. “ P. I. C. K. ” stands for Purpose, Interest,Comprehend, and Know the Words.P= Purpose. Why are you looking for a book——reading for pleasure or trying tolearn something? Reading silently for yourself or reading out loud for someone else?Most often, your purpose for reading can be found with a quick answer.I = Interest. With the many millions of books on shelves today, there mustbe something out there for everyone. If you are interested in cars,considerbooks about history of racing, race car drivers, or car design. Even if you havea short amount of time to choose books, you can determine interest by lookingat the front cover,flipping through(快速翻阅)the pages to have a quick look atphotos or illustrations, or reading the back cover or the chapter titles.C =Comprehend. It’s important to choose a book right for your level orability. How to choose such a book? If you read books at Level A, for example,you’d better not choose a book at Level D. If the book isn’t labeled(贴标签)with a level, you can open the book and choose a page——then you can decidewhether the book is at a right level for you by asking yourself;•Did I understand what I just read?•Do I remember what I read?•Was I able to read most of the words?This brings us to our final letter;K.K=Know the Words. Readers should be able to understand most of thewords on the page. The key is the ‘‘Five Finger Rule” :Choose a book youwould like to read,look at a page in the middle and put one finger down forevery word you don’t understand. The “Five Finger Rule” shows a general ideaof the relationship between the number of unknown words and the difficultylevel of a book;•0 — 1 unknown word = too easy•2— 3 unknown words=just right•4~5 unknown wor ds = too difficultYou want to know how to choose books right for you一books that areenjoyable,fun and exciting. P. I. C. K. is all about giving you the tools to be astrong and confident reader.34. What does “P. I. C. K. ” stand for?35. According to the passage, what is one possible purpose for reading?36. What books does the writer advise you to read if you’re interested in cars?37. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?38. If you put three fingers down when you’re reading a page, what’s thedifficulty level of the book?34. It stands for Purpose,Interest,Comprehend,and Know the Words.35.For pleasure./Trying to learn something./Reading silently for oneself./Reading out loud for someone else.36.Books about history of racing,race car drivers,or car design.37. How to choose a book right for a reader's level or ability.38. The level of the book is just right.【海淀二模】四、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
