Now, a new chair could help you avoid that.German scientists developed this new chair. It has sensors (感应器) in the seat and back of the chair. The sensors know how the user is sitting. If the chair finds that its user is sitting in the wrong position or has been sitting for too long, it makes a noise. The noise could tell the user it is time to change positions.Scientists first developed the chair to use in a home office, but they say it could be useful elsewhere.“It could be used in school classrooms.

My mom found a doctor who knew that if the eye were removed, my face would look ugly, so my scarred (有疤痕的), sightless, cloudy gray eye lived on with me.Sometimes people asked me hard questions. When kids played games, I was always the “monster”. I grew up imagining that everyone looked down on me. Yet Mom would say to me: “Hold your head up high and face the world.” I b egan to depend on that saying.As a child, I thought Mom meant, “Be careful or you will fall down because you are not look ing.” As a teenager, I usually looked down to hide my shame. But I found that when I held my head up high, people liked me.In high school I even became the class president, but on the inside I still felt like a freak (怪物). All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mom and she would look at me with loving eyes and say: “Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them s ee the beauty that is inside.”When I met the man who became my husband, we looked each other straight in the eye, and he told me I was beautiful inside and out.My mom’s love was the spark (火花) that gave me confidence.

CEvery student at Scarsdale Middle School, New York, had a special task after school recently. They were asked to interview 80-year-old ladies and people in wheelchairs in their neighborhood.The school wants to help students identify (识别) with the elderly and the disabled. This is part of the school’s empathy (移情) lessons. Empathy is the ability to re cognize other people’s feelings and emotions as if they were your own. Similar tasks included sharing snacks and board games with autistic (患自闭症的) classmates and wearing uniforms.Empathy lessons in schools across the US are the latest in a 10-year-long project to stop bullying and violence (暴力). Many educators see the lessons as a way to help children become better citizens. David A. Levine, the author of “Teaching Empathy”, says that the lessons can make young people think twice before fighting and doing other bad things such as name-calling and gossiping (谣言).At middle schools, there are signs that empathy lessons are starting to work. At Weber Middle School, New York, 300 students, nearly one-quarter of the school, are happy to sit with a new girl at lunch or help a terrified classmate during a climbing exercise.Scarsdale Middle School has also seen the effect of these classes. It has received three complaints (抱怨) about bullying this year, compared with an average of two or three a month last year.Sarah Frohman, 13, said she stopped herself the moment she was about to call someone a “retard (痴呆)”, and that she told her soc cer coach not to use the word.Annie Gevertz, 12, described empathy as putting herself in someone else’s shoes. She is now more careful of what she says about other students. “Sometimes, I think about how it would feel if it were said about me,” said Gevertz.36. Empathy is the ability to ____.A. help others in needB. make the right choiceC. rec ognize other people’s f eelingsD. make yourself lovable37. What is the purpose of empathy lessons in the US school?A. To teach students how it feels to sit in a wheelchair.B. To stop bullying and violence in school.C. To make students work harder in class.D. To help students learn to think before taking action.38. Why did Frohman stop herself from calling someone a “retard”?A. Because her parents stopped her.B. Because she was afraid of being punished.C. Because she thought about how it would feel.D. Because her teachers told her not to do so.39. How did students feel about the empathy lessons?A. They found the lessons helpful.B. They thought the lessons were useless.C. They d idn’t like the lessons at all.D. They thought the lessons were boring.DHappiness is a feeling that lights up your eyes, makes your steps light and makes you want to sing for no reason. Everyone wants to be happy. But sometimes, a guest comes in without invitation. It’s unhappiness. Don’t let it get you down. Send it away!When you are happy, the world feels like a better place. As the saying goes: When you smile, the world smiles with you; when you cry, you cry alone. Wearing a smile will make you more charming (迷人的) and help you to win lots of friends. A good mood (心情) always gives you hope, which makes trouble and problems easier to handle.No matter how happy you are, it’s normal to feel angry, sad or gloomy once in a while. Life is full of ups and downs. We can’t change the way life is, but we can do our best to change a bad situati on into a good one. To help us do this, it’s good to know some of the factors (因素) that influence happiness.One of the biggest factors is social relationships. People who are close to family and friends are happier than people who don’t have those relat ionships. Talking and sharing is a good way to relax and build confidence. Knowing someone is there for you will make you braver and more outgoing.Another factor is work or school. If you enjoy school, even if you have lots of homework or extra classes, you will still feel that your school life is meaningful and happy. But if you hate school, your negative (消极的) attitude may cause you to feel bored and upset that you have to do so much work.A third factor is your attitude towards life. How do you feel if you fail in an exam? Maybe you think it’s unfair because you always study hard and should have got a good mark. You can’t stop blaming (责备) yourself. Or, maybe you accept it. You go through the paper carefully, find out why you made stupid mistakes, a nd tell yourself, “Take it easy! I’ll do better next time!” Your attitude makes a big difference.How happy are you?If 100 is a full score for happiness, I score my life 90. Although I’m busy with studies from Monday to Saturday, I’m happy because I l ove learning. I relax by going to parks on Sundays and playing with my computer for half an hour every night. The only thing that bothers me is too much homework. Sometimes I c an’t go to bed until midnight.Yang Yunfan, 13, from BeijingI am happy most of the time. I do a good job in my schoolwork. My parents are supportive (支持的). I learn to play the violin on weekends. I have many friends. As a class leader, I love organizing class activities. But it makes me frustrated (沮丧的) when some classmates don’t listen. I’ll try to do a better job.Liu Haisu, 14, from Xi’anWhat about you? Do you smile a lot or wear a long face most of the time?40. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. We go upstairs and downstairs in life.B. We have both happy and sad moments in life.C. We could always be happy in life.D. We should never feel sad in life.41. According to the passage, what is one of the biggest factors that influence happiness?A. Smiles.B. Our attitude towards life.C. Work or school.D. Social relationships.42. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. We should keep blaming ourselves when we fail in an exam.B. We can’t be happy if we are busy with our studies.C. We should accept our failure and try to do better next time.D. People who are close to family and friends are less happy than people who aren’t.43. What is the best title of the passage?A. You make your own happiness.B. Being happy – the key to a successful life.C. Smiling to the world.D. Learning to control your emotions.四、短文填空（每小题2分，共20分）UK weekends are a time for fun and familyLooking forward to the weekend? You are not 44 in the world.

21世纪英语报第一期九年级报纸阅读命题

AWhen the country music band Erabellas stood on the stage, I wasn’t interested at all. I was not a fan of country music. And the three young ladies in the band neither had charming appearances nor fancy outfits (服装).I was even less interested in the band when they said they would sing How Far I’ll Go. Actually, Alessia Cara wrote the song. She is my favorite singer. Until that moment, I did not believe anyone could sing her song better than in the original version (最初版本).When they began to sing, I was amazed. It was more beautiful than my words can describe! The three women sang the song in such a soft way that it became less modern. Instead, it sounded like a warm lullaby (摇篮曲).What’s more, they sang in harmony (和谐). The song was separated into three parts, but when sung together, it came into one perfect chord (和弦). Their voices were amazing. Finally, I had to admit they sang much better than the original.Their performance took place in Nashville, Tennessee, US. I traveled there this summer holiday. The ladies of Erabellas have just begun their career, but they have already enjoyed good local reputation (名声). Their names are Lilliana Napier, Morgan Ellis and Megan Youngblood. They love music and are good at different instruments.I believe these women will become celebrities (名人) one day. Their performance was something so unique I’ll never forget it.1. When did the writer start to be interested in the band? （查找细节）A. When they stood on the stage.B. When they said they would sing How Far I’ll Go.C. When they started to sing.D.

The performance of the women's band is far more wonderful than men's.D.V oices of singers are more important than appearance and outfits.BWhat is the hottest catchphrase (流行语) this summer? It probably is: “Can you freestyle?”In the music program The Rap of China (《中国有嘻哈》), judge Kris Wu asked this question to the singers many times. The show is trying to find the most talented rappers (说唱歌手) in China. But do you know what rap and freestyle are?Rap, a style of hip-hop music, usually focuses more on the lyrics than music. Rappers use a lot of slang (俚语) in their lyrics. And importantly, they make them rhyme (押韵).The music was created during the 1980s in the United States. It first became popular among young black people living in poor areas of New York City.Many rap songs are about love, jobs and peace. But sometimes singers also express their anger through rapping. It’s true that some songs include bad things like drugs (毒品), violence and rude language. These songs are not suitable for children.Rappers not only write son gs, they also do “freestyle” rapping. They think up lyrics randomly (即兴地) and rap them out. Only rappers with talent and experience are good at it.US rapper Eminem can freestyle amazingly well. There is even a movie called 8 Mile telling ofhow he wins a freestyle rapping competition.Jin Au-Yeung, also known as “MC Jin”, is a Chinese freestyle rapper. Some say he is the best in China. You can also watch him on The Rap of China.Rapping in styleIt’s not hard to recognize rappers. They have their own fashion style.

It’s a story about an orphan (孤儿) girl named Jerusha Abbott. A man supports her to go to college. In return (作为报答), she writes him letters telling of her progress. The book has 81 letters of Jerusha. Through them we see how a poor girl grew into an independent (独立的) woman. The following part tells how the story begins. Jerusha Abbott was walking to Mrs Lippett’s office when she saw the back of a man. He cast a shadow(投射影子) on the hall. He had very long legs and arms and his shadow looked just like a daddy-long-legs spider.Jerusha entered the office. Mrs Lippett immediately spoke, “Jerusha! I have news for you. Did you see the gentleman who has just left?” “I only saw his back,” Jerusha rep lied.“He is one of our most important trustees (理事). He told me not to tell you his name. He doesn’t want you to know it.” “Why is she telling me this?” Jerusha thought to herself. Mrs Lippett continued, “Do you remember Charles Benton and Henry Freize? W ell, this gentleman sent them and other boys to college. Until now, he has only chosen boys. He does not really like girls. However, at the meeting today, you were discussed.Now you are too old to stay at the orphanage. Normally, you would be expected to work, but considering your excellent grades, especially in English, this gentleman has offered to send you to college.”Jerusha was surprised. “To college!” she said. “Yes, this gentleman thinks you have great talent and wants you to become a writer. He will pay your board and tuition (食宿费和学费) for four years. He will also give you an allowance (零用钱) of 35 dollars a month.In return, you must write a letter every month telling him of your progress. The letters will be written to Mr John Smith. It is not his real name. He will not write back to you, so don’t ask him any questions. You must always remember to have a respectful tone (语气).” Jerusha didn’t know what to say. She was full of excitement. She just said, “Yes. Thank you, ma’am.” Then, she left the room.1. Why can’t Jerusha stay at the orphanage any more?（查找细节）A. Because he was expected to workB. Because he was going to college.C. Because he was not young enough to stay there.D. Mrs Li hated him very much.2. The underlined word “it” refers to______ .（指代关系）A. Jerusha’s going to collegeB. Charles Benton went to collegeC. the man’s nameD. the man’s job3. We can infer from the passage that ___________.（逻辑推理）A. Jerusha would write a letter to Mr. John Smith every day.B. Every orphan can go to the college with the help of Mr. John Smith.C.

Strangely enough, you see no staff (店员) inside. You pick up things and prepare to wait in line and pay. But even more oddly, there is no cashier (收银员) at all. So what has happened to this store?Well, you may have entered Tao Café, a cashless store created by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba. In July, the public got to see the store for the first time at Alibaba’s Taobao Maker Festival in Hangzhou.The 200-square-meter store sells drinks, fast food and snacks. It can hold up to 50 shoppers at a time. To enter and shop, people only need a smartphone with a Taobao app and an Alipay account (账户).By scanning their Taobao QR code (二维码), shoppers are followed with cameras for facial recognition (面部识别). The store has also digitalized (数字化) all goods and their placement on the shelves. So when shoppers pick up goods, the system will be able to “watch” and “remember” their selection.vWhen shoppers are ready to leave, they don’t wait in line to pay. Instead, they go through two checkout (结账) doors. Then the bills will automatically (自动地) be paid with a Taobao account connected to Alipay.According to Alibaba, the checkout machines can recognize goods even when shoppers put them in pockets or bags. So it is almost impossible to steal things from the store.Tao Café is not the only cashless store in China. A 24-hour convenience store with no staff called BingoBox opened in Shanghai in June. To enter the store, shoppers scan a QR code on WeChat or Alipay. But unlike the Tao Café, they have to scan another QR code to leave the BingoBox.1.

The following are necessary to enter and shop in the cashless store EXCEPT_________. （查找细节）A. A Taobao appB. An Alipay accountC. A smart phoneD. A camera3. What can we infer from the story? （逻辑推理）A. The elders would enjoy shopping in Tao Cafe.B. Lots of things will be lost in the cashless store.C. Shopping at BingoBox is more convenient than at Tao Cafe.D. It saves people much time to shop at Tao Cafe.4.What is the main idea of the passage? (归纳中心主旨)A.It talks about how Tao Café works.B.It's about how cashless stores works.C.It's about why people create cashless stores.D.It's about how cashless stores are created.EIf a 35-year-old tennis player sits for six months and hasn’t won a major title for five years, is it possible to win the next two majors and every other big match he plays?It sounds impossible. But Swiss tennis player Roger Federer managed to make it real.In January, Federer won the Australian Open. In July, he won his eighth Wimbledon title. Now he has 19 grand slam titles (大满贯头衔), a new record among male tennis players.That was not easy to do. He is the oldest man ranked in the world’s top 20. He has suffered from a knee injury since Wimbledon last year.Even Federer himself did not think he had a chance. So how did he make it possible? Maybe it’s because Federer made a wise decision to skip (跳过) the French Open in June.“I would rather take a step back and then really come back with a lot of energy and happiness,” he told The New York Times. He wanted to save the energy for his biggest goal －Wimbledon.But he still worked very hard. He improved his warm-up exercises to stay fresh and energetic (有活力的). Last winter he stayed in Dubai for hard training.When he came back, he was not only healthier, but also more relaxed. First he beat Rafael Nadal five games in a row at the Australian Open final. Before that, Nadal had beaten Federer 23 of 34 times.“If you believe, you can go really far in your life,” Federer said after winning Wimbledon in July. “I kept on dreaming and believing.”1. “That” in the fourth Paragraph most probably stands for ____（指代关系）A. He set a new record.B. He owns 19 grand slam titles.C. He won the Australian OpenD. He won his eighth Wimbledon title.2. What did Federer do to help him have a new record among male tennis players? （查找细节）A. He suffered from a knee injury.B. He went to the French Open in June.C. He kept working very hard.D.

Do you know how these storms got their names?Hurricanes used to be named after saints (圣徒) and latitude-longitude (经纬度) positions. During World War II, US military (军队的) weathermen named hurricanes after their girlfriends or wives. It was easy to remember. So after the war, women’s names continued to be used for storms. Finally in 1979, men’s names started to be used, too.Now, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO, 世界气象组织) is responsible for hurricane names. They keep six lists of names in alphabetical (按字母表顺序的) order, with one list used each year. This means each name will be reused every six years. So, the 2011 name list is now being used again in 2017.However, if a storm is especially damaging (破坏巨大的), such as 2005’s Katrina, that storm’s name will not be used again.Typhoons are the brother of hurricanes, though they happen in the Pacific Ocean (太平洋) instead of the Atlantic Ocean (大西洋) (where hurricanes usually take place).The new naming system for typhoons has been used since 2000. The WMO asked each of its 14 members in the Asia Pacific area to hand in a list of 10 names. Members include China, Japan and South Korea.But instead of picking human names, scientists decided to name the extreme (极端的) weather after animals, plants, places and even food.For example, Hato, provided by Japan, is a constellation (星座); Pakhar, provided by Lao, is a kind of fish living in the Mekong River; Mawar is from Malaysia, meaning rose.1.Which is TRUE among the following sentences? (查找细节）A. Hurricanes began to be named with human names from World War II.B. Hurricanes is named by military weathermen now .C. Hurricanes will be reused every six years even if it is damaging.D. Names of typhoons come from the list that some countries offer.2.The word they in the fifth paragraph refers to ________.(判断指代关系)A. hurricanesB. typhoonsC. storms D, names3. What can we infer from the passage? (逻辑推理）A. Typhoons were once named after latitude-longitude positions.B. Storms were named after women after World War II.C. Typhoons usually take place in the Atlantic Ocean.D. We’ve used the new naming system for hurricanes since 2000.4. According to the passage, we can know ________. (文章主旨和拟标题)A. how the storms are namedB. how the storms are formedC. how the storms are rememberedD. how the storms are decidedDYou must have read or heard of the sad love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. But can you imagine the two singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic Chinese?Jia and Lin are two characters from the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions(《红楼梦》), written by Cao Xueqin (1715-1763). Now the book has been made into an English-language opera. The opera was first performed last September in San Francisco, US. This month it comes to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan.Many of the opera’s creators hav e backgrounds (背景) in both Chinese and American cultures, including the director and playwrights. Their understanding of both cultures helped them to change a Chinese classic into a foreign-language opera.The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters. But opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Huang, a Chinese-American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a heartbroken tragedy (悲剧) that everyone would understand.The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costumes (服装) and stage settings (布景). He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin shows up on stage, there is usually water around her on the stage.The creators consider it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to Western audiences. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to “have made a contribution to the land where my parents were born.”1. The following are all true EXCEPT ________.(查找细节）A. The first English opera of A Dream of Red Mansions was had in US.B. The opera writer cut the original short to focus on the love story.C. The English opera is going to be performed in China next month..D. The creators of the opera are very proud to introduce Chinese classics.2.What’s writer’s purpose in writing this passage?(逻辑推理）A.

The classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions is made into an English opera because it is too long.D.

Reading Comprehension (Time: 10 minutes) (10*2=20%)Text 1The Beijing Subway, which was opened in 1969 and is the oldest subway system in China, received a makeover for the 2008 Olympics. Never a country to skimp on fancy technology for its metropolitan centers, all stations now feature sleek touch-screen maps, and train carriages are equipped with LCD televisions, underground cellphone reception and offer bilingual announcements.despite these modernizations, elements of traditional Chinese culture have been retained at some stations. For example, a few stations on Line 8 (the Olympic branch) are decorated in blue and white porcelain.Other stations incorporate the station’s name into their design: the walls of Zoo station on Line 4 are painted with animals, and at the South Gate of Forest Park on Line 8, forest motifs line the platform.T his logo, a capital letter “G” encircling a capital letter “D” with the letter “B” silhouetted within it, was designed by a subway employee named Zhang Lide in 1984. The letters B, G, and D form the abbreviation for Beijing gaosu dianche or “Beijing high-speed electric carriage”.Tokyo’s futuristic subway system is the busie st metro in the world – and probably the most high-tech too. The busy Shibuya station, located on the fourth floor of a trade center, features piezoelectric flooring that harnesses kinetic energy from rush hour footfall and uses it to power lighting and other electronic equipment in the station.Also different to other international systems, Tokyo Metro, the Tokyo subway’s main operator, provides “women-only” cars during the morning rush hour (from 7 am to 9:30 am) sothat women, elementary school students and young children can travel in safety.The logo is heart-shaped because it is the purpose of Tokyo Metro to “serve the heart of Tokyo with thoughtful, heartfelt service”. The logo’s background is bright blue, the company’s primary corporate color, and was chosen in order to convey an active, lively image in tune with the idea o f “Keeping Tokyo on the Move”.The London Underground (commonly referred to as the Tube) is the oldest underground railway in the world. It was opened in 1863 and became the first line to operate electric trains in 1890.In World War II the underground network served as a shelter from German air raids during The Blitz. Today, the Tube has become an international icon for London.Due to the system’s age, its trains are not equipped with air-conditioning, which means that carriages get very hot during the summer. According to the BBC, plans have been launched to address this issue. Currently, the network is being upgraded to provide Wi-Fi coverage.The use of the roundel logo for the London Underground started in 1908 with the purpose of finding an obvious way of highlighting station names on platforms. The red circle with a blue bar, bearing the name “Underground” across it in white letters, was quickly adopted. The design and color combination were adapted for other parts of the public transportation network, such as bus stops and buses.Established in 1904, the New York City Subway (NYCS) runs 24/7 and operates express trains on almost every line. You can always get to within a few blocks of your destination.A defining feature of the NYCS is its musical heritage: nearly every trip features a free show –whether you asked for it or not. With Michael Jackson imitators moon-walking through the carriage, drunk Polish men singing tunes on the platform and gospel a cappella groups parading in the station, you’re bound to pass the next Bob Dylan during your commute. If you’re not careful, you might even get kicked in the face by a pole-swinging break-dancer.This design, the letters “MTA” inside a blue circle, is a unified logo for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the corporation responsible for public transportation in the state of New York. The three letters are arranged from big to small, representing a moving vehicle.Questions:1.When was the Beijing Subway opened?2. What is the busiest subway system in the world?3. How is the logo for Tokyo Metro Shaped?4. In what color is the name “Underground” written in th logo for the London Under ground?5. What is the defining feature of the New York City Subway?Text 2When does a joke go too far? This is the question many people around the world have been asking since the tragedy surrounding “the nurse prank call” unfolded. Some say we are being too harsh on the radio presenters, who couldn’t have known that their actions would have suchconsequences. Others say the pair were cruel and thoughtless.It is clear that some radio presenters and broadcasters believe they can do whatever they want without there being any repercussions, but in this instance the consequences were serious.According to the code of conduct for Australian radio stations, a person must be “informed” in advance if any of their words are broadcast.The radio failed to get consent from the nurse, Jacintha Saldanha, and she obviously didn’t agree to her words being put on air. Because of this the DJs are responsible for the prank call acted wrongly and have little defense for their actions.The CEO of the radi o network said “nobody could have reasonably foreseen” that the hoax would result in suicide. While this may be the case, they should have realized that their actions were cruel and could cause upset. The truth of the matter is, they simply didn’t care. Th eir desire to get good ratings outweighed their care for the individual of whom they made a laughing stock.Since the incident has come to light, the presenters said they are “shattered” and Mel Greig, the female presenter, said she is “haunted” by the news of Saldanha’s death.Although it seems cruel to put the blame on the two presenters, this incident should send a message to the broadcast industry in general.

21世纪英语报第五、六期-九年级报纸阅读命题

21世纪英语报第五、六期-九年级报纸阅读命题(A)Fifth graders in Zhejiang province will haveTCM courses (中医药课程）beginning thissemester.Xu Yueru, 14Learning traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a good way for students to have a better understanding of themselves. They can change their bad habits and pick up (养成) healthy ones. Also, children in Grade 5 are curious about everything. It is a good time to develop an interest in TCM, which is part of traditional Chinese culture. There is nothing wrong with learning more about our own culture.Shan Xi, 14TCM has existed for thousands of years. It shows the wisdom of our ancestors (祖先) and covers a lot of Chinese culture. It can teach students some basic knowledge about healthcare and broaden their horizons. Maybe some students want to be doctors. This class can help them learn a lot about medicine.Gao Yongtian, 14TCM is too complicated (复杂的) to understand. If they want to know more about healthcare, they can learn about first-aid (急救). It’s more useful. Plus, primary school students nowadays have heavy pressure in their studies. Learning TCM at school may take up too much of their time and bring them more pressure.Ge Huaiqi, 12Some knowledge about TCM doesn’t have enough scientific proof (依据). Some of its ideas still need to be proved in the future. It is not proper (合适的) to make students learn about it from a young age. Moreover, there are many complicated concepts (概念) in TCM. It’s even hard for adults to understand, let alone children. Gradually, they may lose interest in study.1. What does the underlined word"ones" refer to? （指代关系）A.students.B.habitsC. bodiesD.children(B)We all know that dogs eat poop (粪便). Although it appears strange to humans, scientists say it is a common practice for a lot of other animals: rabbits, rats,dogs, baby elephants and gorillas (猩猩). The list is long.These animals eat droppings to get nutrients (营养) they couldn’t digest (消化) the first time around, reported Live Science website.For example, rabbits eat a certain kind of droppings called cecotropes (盲肠便), which are products of the cecum (盲肠). Cecotropes are dark and soft, while actual feces are usually brown and hard. Scientists say cecotropes are very rich in nutrients and is essential (重要的) to rabbit’s good health.Many baby animals –including elephants and hippo calves (河马幼崽) –eat feces from their mothers or other members of the herd. It usually happens when they are growing from drinking their mother’s milk to eating solid food, scientists say.Eating feces helps these animal babies build healthy bacterial (细菌的) communities in their guts (肠道). It in turn helps digestion.1. What does "which" refer to in Paragraph 3? （指代关系）A. droppingsB. rabbitsC. cecotropesD. cecum2.The reason for baby animals eating poop are the followings EXCEPT _________ (细节判断) A. Cecotropes are rich in nutrients they couldn’t digest.B. Eating feces helps them build healthy bacterial communities in their guts.C. Eating feces improves digestion.D. Poop is easy to digest.3. If the writer continues to write this passage, what will he write about? （逻辑推理）A.When the animal babies stop eating feces.B. Why the animal babies eat feces.C. How the bacterial communities helps digestion.D. What kind of nutrients the animals can getfrom the feces.4. According to the passage, we can know__________. (文章主旨和拟标题)A. how the animals eat fecesB. how often the animals eat fecesC. why the animals eat fecesD. when the animals eat feces(C)What do you use to unlock your cellphone?A password? A fingerprint? Or simply a glance (一瞥)?On Sept 12, Apple introduced its iPhone X, which has an eye-catching feature (特色) －Face ID.With Face ID, Apple says, you can unlock your new iPhone by just looking at it. It is powered by a so-called TrueDepth camera system built into the front of the iPhone X.When the camera system sees a person’s face, it uses 30,000 unseen dots (点) to “map” (勾画) the shape and outline of the face. A mathematical model of the face will then becreated and stored (储存) in the phone.The next time the person looks at the iPhone X, the same dots are mapped onto his or her face and compared to the stored model. If the two match, then the phone unlocks. This happens in less than a second.Apple says the system is smart. If you change your hairstyle, put on sunglasses or makeup, or use the phone in the dark, Face ID still works. Although the technology sounds fancy, there are still concerns (担心). For example, will Face ID work for twins?According to Apple, the chance of others to unlock your iPhone X using Face ID is one in a million. Face ID can tell the difference between twins, but the error rating (出错率) rises. So one would need to set a password then.Apple also emphasizes (强调) that Face ID only unlocks when you stare at it. It is what Apple calls “attention aware (察觉)”. So the phone won’t unlock if you are just glancing at the phone for the time. It won’t work either ifsomeone puts the phone at your sleeping face or your photo.1. What does "which" refer to in Paragraph 2? （指代关系）A.a cellphoneB. AppleC. iPhone XD. Face ID2.If Michael wants to unlock his new iPhone X with Face ID, what shouldn’t he do? (细节判断)A. Wear sunglassesB. Have his hair cut.C. Unlock it at nightsD. Glance at it for a short time.3. We can infer from the passage that if you want to unlock an iPhone X of your twin sister or brother, you can _________.（逻辑推理）A. stare at it with sunglasses B. glance at it with a makeupC. use a passwordD. use your twin sister's or brother's face when sleeping4. What is the best title for the passage? (文章主旨和拟标题)A. The introduction of the iPhone XB. The features of the iPhone XC. Unlock the iPhone X by a glanceD. Unlock the iPhone X by attention aware(D)Old soap is changing people’s lives in Cambodia. A nonprofit (非盈利的) group named Eco-Soap Bank collects (收集) used soap from hotels and turns them into new bars to give out to people. Samir Lakhani, from the US, started this project three years ago.He visited Cambodia in Southeast Asia for the first time in 2014. In a village, he watched a mother bathe (洗澡) her baby using detergent (洗衣粉). He learned that many people in Cambodia are very poor. They don’t have clean running water to wash with. Many don’t even have soap at all. He realized that was a problem he could help solve.Lakhani’s ide a was to recycle old soap. Each year, millions of tourists visit Cambodia.The country’s many hotels use large amounts of soap. A hotel can produce 150 pounds (about 68 kg) of soap waste every month. So Lakhani went from hotel to hotel, asking if they could donate (捐赠) used soap.His project grew. It later became theEco-Soap Bank. The group takes used soap to recycling places. There, the soap is cleaned, then cut up, mixed together and put through a press (压模机). Soap waste becomes brand-new bars or liquid (液体) soap.Eco-Soap Bank gives soap to Cambodians. Some bars are also given to local women to sell. They make money for their families.The project has helped half a million Cambodians get cleaner. But Lakhani has a bigger plan. He wants to start Eco-Soap Bank in every tourist area around the world. All in all, he wants to help people take their health into their own hands －one bar of soap at a time.1.

It is about the recycle of old soap.C. It is about how Eco-Soap Bank develops.D. It is about why Eco-Soap Bank started.(E)Social media have made animals become famous easier than ever before. Many people post their pets’ photos online and quickly get hundreds of thousands of followers. The pet doesn’t have to be a dog or cat. There are successful examples of foxes, pigs and birds. If your pet can perform on video, that’s even better.But it takes more than just a cute pet and an iPhone to create a popular pet account(账号). If you want to try for yourself, here are some tips for you.Know your brand (品牌)When you start your account on social media, choose a few words and phrases for yourpet’s “brand”. Is your pet a troublemaker? Silly and a natural performer (表演者)? Make sure all your photos have a similar theme (主题). That way your followers know what to expect of your account.For example, if your pet’s brand is“free-spirited (自由自在的) and loves nature”, don’t post photos of it sitting in a first-class seat with an expensive pet dish.Post photos regularly (定期地) and use hasgtags (话题标签)Plan to post, if not every day, then at least five days a week. When you post, add a few hashtags so people can find your account easily using the “Discover” feature on social media. You may look at accounts similar to yours and see which hashtags they’re using.Have fun or don’t do itYou have to love taking photos of your pet. Or at least you like doing it enough that you can get it done even when you don’t feel like it. But if you aren’t having a good time, it’s not worthit.1. What does the underlined word"troublemaker" mean? （推测词义）A.The one that usually causes problems.B.The trouble,pain and difficulties.C.To get into trouble easily.D.To have trouble doing something.2.If Mary wants to create a popular pet account, she can’t ________________ (细节判断)A. brand her pets with only a few words.B. post her pet’s photos every day.C. ignore the use of hasgtags.D. take photos of her pet.3. According to the passage, which of the following actions will the writer NOT support?（逻辑推理）A. Create an account on social media.B. Share the cute and funny moments online everyday.C. Form a habit of taking photos of your pet though you're not interested.D. Think of a theme for your pet and takephotos for it.4. What does the passage mainly talk about? (文章主旨和拟标题)A. The way to fi nd out your pet’s brand.B. Animals become famous easier than before.C. Using hashtags to make your pet known.D. Tips for making your pets celebrated.。

Now, a new chair could help you avoid that.German scientists developed this new chair. It has sensors (感应器) in the seat and back of the chair. The sensors know how the user is sitting. If the chair finds that its user is sitting in the wrong position or has been sitting for too long, it makes a noise. The noise could tell the user it is time to change positions.Scientists first developed the chair to use in a home office, but they say it could be usefulelsewhere.“It could be used in school classrooms. It could also be used in big of fices to tell workers when they need to take a break,” said one of the scientists.28.

In a school classroom.C. In a big company.D. At a park.BI was 15 months old, a happy carefree (无忧无虑的) kid, until the day I fell. It was a bad fall. I landed on a piece of glass that cut my eye badly. My mom found a doctor who knew that if the eye were removed, my face would look ugly, so my scarred (有疤痕的), sightless, cloudy gray eye lived on with me.Sometimes people asked me hard questions. When kids played games, I was always the “monster”. I grew up imagining that everyone looked down on me. Yet Mom would say to me: “Hold your head up high and face the world.” I b egan to depend on that saying.As a child, I thought Mom meant, “Be careful or you will fall down because you are not looking.” As a teenager, I usually looked down to hide my shame. But I found that when I held my head up high, people liked me.In high school I even became the class president, but on the inside I still felt like a freak (怪物). All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mom and she would look at me with loving eyes and say: “Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them s ee the beauty that is inside.”When I met the man who became my husband, we looked each other straight in the eye, and he told me I was beautiful inside and out.My mom’s love was the spark (火花) that gave me confidence. With it, I faced hardships bravely.32. The writer hurt her eye when _____.A. she played gamesB. she fell on a piece of glassC. she tried to hide herselfD. she had a serious disease33.

CEvery student at Scarsdale Middle School, New York, had a special task after school recently. They were asked to interview 80-year-old ladies and people in wheelchairs in their neighborhood.The school wants to help students identify (识别) with the elderly and the disabled. This is part of the school’s empathy (移情) lessons. Empathy is the ability to recognize other people’s feelings and emotions as if they were your own. Similar tasks included sharing snacks and board games with autistic (患自闭症的) classmates and wearing uniforms.Empathy lessons in schools across the US are the latest in a 10-year-long project to stop bullying and violence (暴力). Many educators see the lessons as a way to help children become better citizens. David A.

But sometimes, a guest comes in without in vitation. It’s unhappiness. Don’t let it get you down. Send it away!When you are happy, the world feels like a better place. As the saying goes: When you smile, the world smiles with you; when you cry, you cry alone. Wearing a smile will make you more charming (迷人的) and help you to win lots of friends. A good mood (心情) always gives you hope, which makes trouble and problems easier to handle.No matter how happy you are, it’s normal to feel angry, sad or gloomy once in a while. Life is full of ups and d owns. We can’t change the way life is, but we can do our best to change a bad situation into a good one. To help us do this, it’s good to know some of the factors (因素) that influence happiness.One of the biggest factors is social relationships. People who are close to family and friends are happier than people who don’t have those relationships. Talking and sharing is a good way to relax and build confidence. Knowing someone is there for you will make you braver and more outgoing.Another factor is work or school. If you enjoy school, even if you have lots of homework or extra classes, you will still feel that your school life is meaningful and happy. But if you hate school, your negative (消极的) attitude may cause you to feel bored and upset that you have to do so much work.A third factor is your attitude towards life. How do you feel if you fail in an exam? Maybe you think it’s unfair because you always study hard and should have got a good mark. You can’t stop blaming (责备) yourself. Or, maybe you accept it. You go through the paper carefully, find out why you made stupid mistakes, and tell yourself, “Take it easy! I’ll do better next time!” Your attitude makes a big difference.How happy are you?If 100 is a full score for happiness, I score my life 90.
