AOn my recent trip to Sydney with my parents, we visited the Wildlife Park.The Wildlife Park has lots of different animals. Some are native(当地的) to Australia and can only be found there. There are over 600 animals there, including kangaroos, koalas and crocodiles(鳄鱼). They are kept in their natural environment.I like the Wildlife Park better than a zoo where most of the animals are in cages.We first spent some time with the kangaroos. We were allowed to touch and feed them. It wasvery exciting to be so close to them. There were koalas there too. They looked very cuddly(令人想拥抱的). Although we were not allowed to carry them, I got to take a photo with one. It is a wonderful souvenir of my holiday in Sydney.The Wildlife Park has plenty of freshwater and saltwater crocodiles. Some of them are really big and scary with huge teeth! I did not want to get too close to them.There was also a bird show. The keepers showed us different species they had.I saw an old parrot which could “talk”. It made a great impression on me.I enjoyed the trip very much. There was so much to see.1.

Unhappy.C. Bored.D. HopelessBI was traveling alone through the UK. To reach places that were off the public transportation map, I bought an old car, which cost most of my money. I couldn’t afford to stay in the hotel, so I had to camp in my car for the rest of the trip.One morning I awoke in my old car on a country road in Ireland and saw a single house. The water in my thermos(保温瓶) had gone cold, so I knocked on the door of the house. A woman opened it. I asked her for some hot water. But she w ouldn’t let me get away with just that! I was invited indoors. She asked me to sit at the table and have breakfast with her family. They filled my thermos before I left.I was greatly moved. And I decided to pass the kindness on.

Being an adult means having the right to do certain things, such as getting a part-time job, voting (投票) , getting married, or getting a driving license. It also means accepting the responsibilities that go along with these rights.In many countries, sixteen or eighteen is the age when a person becomes an adult. Young men and women at this age can get a part-time job, and begin to receive an income of their own. They no longer have to depend on their parents for money all the time. In Canada and America, sixteen is the age when one can get a driving license; in England, it is seventeen.There are responsibilities that go along with both of these rights. Getting a part-time job means that you have to pay income tax. Driving a car demands that you follow certain rules like buying car insurance.Voting is another right that young people enjoy when they become adults. In the United States, Canada and Britain, young people have the right to vote at the age of eighteen With this right also comes responsibility. For young people to use their right to vote wisely, they must have an understanding of the needs of society, and they must also learn how politics work.11.The underlined word “right” in Paragraph One means “______” in Chinese.A. 正确B. 右边 C权利 D. 左边12.In America and Canada, young people who are ____ can get their driving licenses.A. at the age of 16B. at the age of 15C. at the age of 14D. at the age of 1313.If you drive a car, you have to ______.A. get a part-time jobB. follow certain rulesC. understand societyD. learn politics14.Tom is a 17-year-old English boy and he has the rights to______.A. drive and learnB. vote and marryC. drive and voteD. work and vote15.

Customers make a small deposit(押金)and get to use the thing for a daily cost,with a fine put in place for every day if they fail to return the product in time. It’sa simple business model, and market data shows that people see sharing as a cheap and convenient way to cut down waste.Zhao Shuping founded the Sharing E Umbrella, an umbrella sharing service, in April. By the end of June, he had already started in 11 major Chinese cities, including Shanghai, Nanjing and Guangzhou. While picking up the umbrellas was simple, as they were made available(可得到的)at bus and subway stations,the return system turned out to be a different matter. “Umbrellas are different from bicycles,” Mr. Zhao told Chinese news site . “Bikes can be parked anywhere, but with an umbrella you need something to hang it on.”So instead of bothering to return the umbrellas back to a station, a lot of people just took them home, and Sharing E Umbrella has reportedly lost track of most of the 300,000 umbrellas.Considering that borrowing umbrellas requires a 19 yuan deposit, with a fee of 0.50 yuan per half an hour usage, Zhao says that he suffers a loss of 60 yuan per lost umbrella, so the company is now in the red, but he is not ready to stop it just yet.Zhao announces that Sharing E Umbrella still plans to roll out(推出)30 million nationwide by the end of the year.9. What do we know about Sharing E Umbrella?A. It makes people learn to help each other.B. It needs people to make a small deposit first.C. It developed faster in the western countries.D. It produces more waste and causes disorder.10. What problem did Sharing E Umbrella meet after it was founded?A. The company had no money to produce umbrellas.B. Umbrellas are not allowed to hang anywhere.C. Lots of customers didn't give the umbrellas back.D. People refuse to pay deposit for the umbrellas.11. How much did his company lose if an umbrella was lost?A. 0.5 yuan.B. 19 yuan.C. 60 yuan.D.120 yuan.12. We can infer from the last paragraph that .A. Zhao has found a way to get the umbrellas backB. Zhao will continue his umbrella sharing serviceC. Most of Zhao’s companies have been closedD. Sharing E Umbrella is a failure for ZhaoDMore than 135,000 UK drinkers will die from cancer caused by alcohol(酒精)by the year 2035, researchers say. A study by Sheffield University and Cancer Research UK shows that alcohol will cost the NHS(National Health Service)£53 billion over thenext ten years including £2 billion on cancer.Although alcohol is known to cause many types of cancer including breast and throat, most people don’t realize the relation between alcohol and cancer. A survey of 2,100 Britons by the researchers earlier this year found nine in ten did not connect drinking with cancer. The researchers used a computer model to work out the numbers of alcohol-related cancer deaths,hospital admissions(入院)and total costs to NHS over the next 20 years.The study shows that a fifth of men and 1 in 10 women have alcohol every day—many of these are middle-aged and middle class. Researchers are very worried about this group as they believe cancer may be caused by drinking over long periods. The study shows that even if the cost stays as it is, alcohol-related cancer deaths will rise from 6,299 in 2015 to 7,097 in 2034.Alcohol will lead to 891,299 hospital admissions,up from 802,118 in 2015, and 65,005 will be caused by cancer.Earlier this year Chief Medical Officer Dame Sally Davies studied carefully the alcohol guidance(指导)for the first time in thirty years.She told people there was no safe level of drinking and advised them to drink no more than 14 units a week. But researchers say this guidance isn’t enough and want the government to increase a little price per unit of alcohol.13. What can we learn from the text?A. Alcohol will be the main cause of cancer deaths.B. More people will get away from the habit of drinking.C. The computer model can help researchers to cut down costs on cancer.D. Most people are not clear about the relation between alcohol and cancer.14. What is the researchers’ hope for the government?A. To continue to support the study.B. To put up the price of alcohol properly.C. To control alcohol-related cancer deaths.D. To study the alcohol guidance carefully.15. What may be the best title for the text?A. A Recent Study about CancerB. The Cost of the NHS on AlcoholC. The Discovery of the Causes of CancerD. Alcohol-related cancer over the Coming Years第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ABreakfast is the most important meal of the day.It is also the most neglect(忽视).Common reasons for not eating breakfast include having no time, not feeling hungry,traditional dislike and dieting.Breakfast simply means “break the fast”. Your body spends at least 6 to 12 hours each night in a fasting state.In the morning yo ur body needs energy for the day’s work ahead.A good breakfast should provide 1/3 of your total calorie(卡路里) needs for the day.On average, we eat 400 less calories for breakfast than for dinner.If breakfast doesn’t attract you in the morning, try eating a lighter dinner earlier in the evening or save half of your dinner for breakfast in the morning.Some people fear that eating breakfast will make them hungrier during the day and they will eat more.It is true that eating breakfast is likely to make you feel hungry throughout the day.That is because your body is working correctly.Although you may feel as if you are eating more all day long, in reality you are probably not.Not eating breakfast can also cause you to overeat, since a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel very hungry later.Since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day, choosing the right food is important.The best breakfast foods are fruits, juice, lean meat and grain products such as bread, rice, noodles and cereals(谷物).1.Which meal is the most neglected according to the passage?A. Breakfast .B. Lunch.C. Supper.D. Dinner.2.Which is not the reason for people to miss breakfast?A. Being on a diet .B. Feeling full in the morning.C.The fast pace of modern life.D.A bigger meal in the mid-morning.3.If you don’t want to have brea kfast in the morning, according to the writer, youshould _________.A. have a good supperB.have a little supperC. go to a restaurant to enjoy a mealD.see a doctor to have an examination4.The best title for this article is _________.A. Diet and BreakfastB. What is a Good BreakfastC. Breakfast:Well Begin, Half DoneD.Bad Eating Habits of Modern PeopleB12-year-old John Thomas Robertson is a train fan since birth. “I’ve enjoyed trains probably since the day I was born,” he told Good Morning America. “When I was very little,” he said, “my grandpa got me a train model. I would just watch it go round for hours and hours.”When Robertson finally had the chance to ride on a train, he felt great. His journey was so mind-blowing that he couldn’t keep it to himsel f.He decided to take all his classmates to go on a ride with him. When he found that some of his classmates couldn’t pay the fares(费用), he spent money he had saved by collecting cans (罐子) and bottles and raised more than $1,000 for them.That train was such a happy one that he made it yearly action. “It never gets boring for some reason; it’s just very fun,” he said. “It really lets people get away from their busy life and have fun.”Every October, Robertson takes a new group of disabled children to ride the train, but now, he has a problem. Several disabled children were refused because the train was not accessible to disabled people. “He was angry to think that children of his own age couldn’t ride a train,” his mother said.But he wouldn’t say no.He recently sent a letter to the train office for help. To his surprise, the leader, Ty Pennington, took the letter seriously. He said that he and his workers would work on making a train accessible to disabled people.5. John Thomas Robertson is a train fan since birth, because he _______.A. his grandpa once worked on the trainB.was taken on a train when he was bornC. took a group of disabled children on board a trainD. was greatly attracted by trains since early childhood6.

According to the passage, we can see that John ThomasRobertson is _______.A. kind and helpfulB. honest and crazyC. clever but boringD. lazy but kindCI am trying to muster (鼓起)the courage to throw away my mobile phone to enjoy a more peaceful and ring-free life.Can you imagine not having your mobile phone? In our high-tech, in-a-hurry age, a cell-free life is hard to imagine. Our mobile phones can now access the Internet, and many people feel the need to express their every thought on their blog pages. If I gave up my cell-phone, people would think I was mad.I wish I had the strength to throw away my technology. I have an office phone, a home phone, an e-mail and if people want to contact me, they can. If I’m out, people can leave a message. Do they really need to find me 24/7? However, I’m a bit like Frodo in the movie Lord of the Rings. The power of the ring is too strong and I can’t let it go.Mobile phones have become necessary tools in our busy life. For most people, they hold all contacts and many of us don’t write up address books any more. The latest phones carry our music, pictures, movies and everything else. We feel lost without this machine and when we do misplace it, we feel cut off from our friends.I’m not really going to throw my mobile phone away, in fact.

2016-2017上学期高一期末试卷高一英语时间:100分钟分数:120分第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中(A,B,C和D)中,选出最佳选项ALearners of English, especially self-taught learners may have trouble in understanding speeches by native speakers. The following ways might help improve their listening ability.First of all, do things step by step. It is not good to listen to something beyond your level. Better choose a suitable course and start with the first book. Go on to the second book only after you are sure you understand the first one.Secondly, stick to one course of study. Don’t change books often. Never let your attention be attracted by another course just because it seems to be more “fashionable”.Thirdly, listen to the English news program over the radio from time to time. Better go through the news stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first. T hat will make it easy for you to understand the English news on the radio.Fourthly, if you have time, listen to some interesting stories in some special English programs, such as V.O.A. or other listening materials of the same level as that of your textbook.1. This is a piece of advice to learners of English on how to ______________.A. read fastB. improve their listening abilityC. write better English and read fasterD. speak correctly2. If you want to understand the English news program on the radio, you should________.A. read the Chinese language newspaper step by stepB. read again and again the Chinese language newspaperC. be able to recite the Chinese language newspaperD. go through the Chinese language newspaper first3. The author advised that once you have taken up a course, you _______.A. should begin with the last bookB. should stick to it.C. should take up other courses if they are more fashionableD. shouldn’t do anything else4. In this passage, V.O.A. stands for______________.A. a bookB. a magazineC. a radio stationD. a text-bookBAbout ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green -a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way hu man beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.5. The passage is mainly about _____________.A. women being luckier than menB. color and its surprising effectsC. danger caused by color blindnessD. color blindness6. Which of the statements about the color- blind is true?A. All of them have the same problem in recognizing color.B. None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.C.

But sometimes it is important to wear the right things.Many British people don’t think about clothes very much. They just like to be co mfortable. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theatres, cinemas and concerts you can put on what you like from beautiful suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean and tidy.But in Britain, as well as the US, men in office usually wear suits and ties, and women w ear dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors and business people always wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women tidy dresses.In any ways, Americans are less formal than Britain people, but they are more careful with their clothes. At home, or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sporty clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look nice. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women wear pretty clothes.It is difficult to say exactly what people wear in Britain and the US, because everyone is different. If you a re not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and follow suit. You’ll feel more comfortable if you don’t look too different from others.12.

ABreakfast is the most important meal of the day.It is also the most neglect(忽视).Common reasons for not eating breakfast include having no time, not feeling hungry, traditional dislike and dieting.Breakfast simply means “break the fast”. Your body spends at least 6 to 12 hours each night in a fasting state.In the morning your body needs energy for the day’s work ahead.A good breakfast should provide 1/3 of your total calorie(卡路里) needs for the day.On average, we eat 400 less calories for breakfast than for dinner.If breakfast doesn’t attract you in the morning, try eating a lighter dinner earlier in the evening or save half of your dinner for breakfast in the morning.Some people fear that eating breakfast will make them hungrier during the day and they will eat more.It is true that eating breakfast is likely to make you feel hungry throughout the day.That is because your body is working correctly.Although you may feel as if you are eating more all day long, in reality you are probably not.Not eating breakfast can also cause you to overeat, since a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel very hungry later.Since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day, choosing the right food is important.The best breakfast foods are fruits, juice, lean meat and grain products such as bread, rice, noodles and cereals(谷物).1.Which meal is the most neglected according to the passage?A.

I would just watch it go round for hours and hours.”When Robertson finally had the chance to ride on a train, he felt great. His journey was so mind-blowing that he couldn’t keep it to himsel f.He decided to take all his classmates to go on a ride with him. When he found that some of his classmates couldn’t pay the fares(费用), he spent money he had saved by collecting cans (罐子) and bottles and raised more than $1,000 for them.That train was such a happy one that he made it yearly action. “It never gets boring for some reason; it’s just very fun,” he said. “It really lets people get away from their busy life and have fun.”Every October, Robertson takes a new group of disabled children to ride the train, but now, he has a problem. Several disabled children were refused because the train was not accessible to disabled people. “He was angry to think that children of his own age couldn’t ride a train,” his mother said.But he wouldn’t say no.He recently sent a letter to the train office for help. To his surprise, the leader, Ty Pennington, took the letter seriously. He said that he and his workers would work on making a train accessible to disabled people.5.

AEasy floatingIf you have ever been swimming in the ocean, you may have noticed that sea water is easier to float in than pool water. Here’s why:You’ll needTwo clear bowls Food coloring Spoon Salt Two eggs1. Fill bowls halfway with water.2. Add 10 tablespoons of salt to one bowl, mix until it dissolves, and then add several drops of color.3.

caused heated discussion across China.Some believe that the unpleasant thing will involve a cultural conflict between the East and West,while others view it as a form of discrimination(歧视)against Chinese in the United States.The United States is a society which has a range of many people and things.And in many cases,Chinese dancers are tolerated(容忍)and even appreciated.Meanwhile,the United States is a society based on the rule of law and due to cultural differences,local regulations seem to be very different from those in China.As a result,some old Chinese ladies dancing in New York's Sunset Park found themselves caught in an embarrassing situation.Locals and immigrants from other nations view such noise as a violation of their right to enjoy quietness.Calling the police is regarded as the most efficient way to solve such a problem.Before,these ladies probably did not understand local customs and rules.However,since the incident took place,they should perhaps know a

A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit.When he arrived, he bounced(跳) happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could。

To his great surprise,he found himself staring at 1,000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1,000 great smiles just as warm and friendly。

As he left the house, he thought to himself, “This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit often.”In this same village,another little dog,who was not quite as happy as the first one,decided to visit the house。

He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door。

ABreakfast is the most important meal of the day.It is also the most neglect(忽视).Common reasons for not eating breakfast include having no time,not feeling hungry,traditional dislike and dieting.Breakfast simply means “break the fast”。

Your body spends at least 6 to 12 hours each night in a fasting state.In the morning your body needs energy for the day’s work ahead.A good breakfast should provide 1/3 of your total calorie(卡路里)needs for the day.On average,we eat 400 less calories for breakfast than for dinner.If breakfast doesn’t attract you in the morning, try eating alighter dinner earlier in the evening or save half of your dinner for breakfast in the morning.Some people fear that eating breakfast will make them hungrier during the day and they will eat more.It is true that eating breakfast is likely to make you feel hungry throughout the day.That is because your body is working correctly.Although you may feel as if you are eating more all day long, in reality you are probably not.Not eating breakfast can also cause you to overeat,since a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel very hungry later.Since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day, choosing the right food is important.The best breakfast foods are fruits, juice, lean meat and grain products such as bread, rice, noodles and cereals (谷物).1.Which meal is the most neglected according to thepassage?A。

AIt feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War III. She’ll complain(抱怨) about my lack of a bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her di sappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.“Why can’t you be like my coworker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her coworker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer except that I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect, as I’ve called the unnamed coworker’s son. I can’t be like him. I’m the type of person who loves to help out in the community, writes until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame (名声) or salary.I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful.I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.21. Which of the following topics do the author and his mother often argue about?A. The author’s future job.B. The author’s studies.C. Their dinner plans.D. Wars around the world.22.

Do you want to know what it feels like to fly like a bird? Find your answers in Time Magazine’s 25 “Best Inventions”. Here, we have picked out the most interesting 4 to share with you.Talking GlovesEver felt confused by the sign language used by disabled people? Here is the “helping hand” you need. Four Ukrainian students have cr eated a pair of gloves that helps people with hearing and speech problems communicate with others. The gloves are equipped with sensors that recognize sign language and translate it into text on a smart phone. Then the smart phone changes the text to spoken words.Google GlassesGoogle Glasses are like a computer built into the frame(框架) of a pair of glasses.

Users can take and share photos, check maps and surf the Internet just by looking up, down, left and right.Indoor CloudsIt’s not virtual but a real world. Dutch artist Smilde managed to create a small but perfect white cloud in the middle of a room using a fog machine. But it required careful planning—the temperature, humidity(湿度) and lighting all had to be just right. Once everything was ready, the cloud formed in the air with the machine. But it only lasted for a short while.WingsuitsThe suit realizes your dream of flying like a bird. Well, not exactly flying, but gliding(滑翔)through the air. It increases the surface area of the human body, which makes it easier for people to float in the air. Fliers wearing wingsuits can glide one kilometer in about 30 seconds.25.

The author wrote the text to .A. introduce some interesting inventionsB. encourage people to buy these productsC. draw people’s attention to technologyD. bring some pleasure to young readersCIf you were a pilot flying a plane, and suddenly the engine failed, would you eject (弹出), or stay in? For a pilot, the decision is very difficult. If he ejects, he is wise, but the plane crashes. If he stays in the plane, he risks his life.Recently, Chinese Air Force pilot Li Feng, 38, faced this situation during a training exercise. It was March 7 and he was flying a Jian-10 (Fighter-10) at 4,500 meters. A warning appeared on the plane’s computer screen. He realized the plane might fail at any moment.Li Feng did a quick check of the engine and asked the base if he could return. When the fighter was 7 km away from the airport, however, the engine stopped working. The plane began to fall at a speed of 25 meters a second from an altitude of 1,160 meters.Under Air Force rules fighter pilots may eject if their aircraft loses engine power below 2,000 meters and can’t be restarted. Before Li lost contact(联系)with the control tower, the commander in the air base asked him to eject. But Li Feng insisted on having another try.“I knew where the deadline (to abandon the aircraft) was and was prepared for the ejection, but I decided not to give up unless the fighter was totally out of control,” Li recalled during a recent television interview.After 104 seconds, Li was able to bring the fighter to a safe landing. The plane only suffered slight damage.“You are a hero! Congratulations!” Li’s teacher, Xu Yongling wrote in a text message to him after the landing. He said Li was a cool-headed pilot and very professional.Li’s brave and calm act not only saved the 200 million yuan aircraft but also gave him invaluable first-hand experience of dealing with an engine emergency.For his outstanding performance, the Air Force recently awarded him a gold medal.29.

When a fighter loses engine power below 2,000 meters and can’t be r estarted, _______.A. pilots may eject for safetyB. pilots must stay with the planeC. pilots should bring it to a safe landingD. pilots should repair it as soon as possible31. Why didn’t Li Feng give up the fighter?A. The base ordered him not to.B. He wanted to get a gold medal.C. He would like to prove his skills.D. The plane wasn’t totally out of control.32. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Flying the Fighter CorrectlyB. When to Abandon the AircraftC. Bringing the Fighter to a Safe LandingD. How to Deal with an Engine EmergencyDIt is common and usual to see people freak out when they face challenges in their life. We all pass in different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere.How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what has happened in your life builds or destroys you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are going to be built up on them.Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a different look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not lose heart. Just cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem has its own good as well as bad sides. Concentrate on the good one. Look at the bright side.Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right beside you, who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them. No matter what happens, they will be there to help you. Trust them and they will never let you down. All you need to know is that you are loved wherever you are.33. In Paragraph 1 “freak out” probably means _______.A. get tiredB. stay calmC. keep silentD. feel upset34. What can we learn from Paragraph 2 ?A. Problems cause troubles.B. Attitude is everything.C. Challenges can be avoided.D. Personalities are built on failures.35. What’s the author’s purpose to write the text?A. To prove.B. To compare.C. To encourage.D. To explain.第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)Five steps to better handwritingSome kids love handwriting, but others hate it when it’s time to put pen to paper. Maybe they are worried about their handwriting. Are you one of them? 36 Here are five steps that really work!Get a great graspTry this — hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name. Pretty hard? But when you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier. 37 Hold it in place with your thumb(拇指), and your index and middle fingers.Let the lines be your guideLined paper is your friend! Those lines can help you create letters that are ofthe right size and proportion (比例). 38 Also be sure to fill up the lined space completely. Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one. Slow downIf your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. If you rush, it’s hard to control where you stop and start your letters.Lower the pressure (压力)39 That makes it harder to make the smooth lines. Try relaxing and don’t hold the pencil too hard.40Lots of games need you to write or draw pictures. So even though it’s not schoolwork, you’re still using the skills you need to control your pencil better.A. Play gamesB. Ask for adviceC. You’ve been writing since you were a little kid.D.
