With the help of my mother and me, he started to build it. It took us several days, but finally, the greenhouse was ready.The greenhouse was a great success. We were able to grow plants even in winter. It was amazing to see the flowers blooming and the vegetables growing in the cold season. However, we soon realized that the greenhouse needed constant care. The plants had to be watered regularly, and we had to clean the greenhouse to prevent pests and diseases.One day, I noticed that some of the plants in the greenhouse were not doing well. They were wilting and losing their leaves. I was worried and asked my father what was wrong. He checked the plants and explained that they were suffering from a lack of sunlight. The thick glass of the greenhouse blocked most of the sunlight from reaching the plants.To solve the problem, my father built a small window on the side of the greenhouse. The window allowed sunlight to enter the greenhouse, and the plants started to thrive again. From that day on, we made sure to keep the window open during the day to provide the plants with enough light.The greenhouse not only extended our growing season, but it also brought us closer as a family. We learned the importance of teamwork and hard work.

The Red Delicious apple is likely to lose its title as the most popular apple this year, which it held for more than half a century. The U.S. Apple Association is projecting, that the Gala apple will usurp(夺取)the Red Delicious for the top spot.The group, which advocates on behalf of 7,500 apple growers and 400 companies in the apple business, predicted that the U. S. would grow 52.4 million Gala apples in 2018, up 5.9 percent from a year earlier. Red Delicious apple production is expected to fall 10.7 percent to 51.7 million.Consumers apparently like the Gala's "taste, texture(口感)and sweetness," the U.S. Apple Association said in a statement. "The rise in production of newer varieties of apples aimed at the fresh consumption domestic market has caused demand for the Red Delicious to decline." said Mark Seetin, the association's director of regulatory and industry affairs.The Granny Smith, Fuji and Honeycrisp apples are expected to rank third, fourth and fifth. The association predicted that within a year or two the Honeycrisp may pass the Granny Smith and Fuji, jumping into third place. The production of the apple rose 21.8 percent to 23.5 million this year. That puts it ahead of the Golden Delicious apple for the first time. The Honeycrisp was created by the University of Minnesota's apple breeding(培育)program only 21 years ago. It typically costs more than its competitors.Until the 1970s, Americans had only a few choices of apples. While the Golden Delicious offered a color contrast and the Granny Smith brought tartness(酸味)to the table, the Red Delicious was the star, heavily promoted by Washington state growers. Then wholesalers began looking for tastier varieties, finding them overseas in Japan, home to the Fuji, and New Zealand, which had the Braeburn and Gala.(1)How does the author prove Americans' preference for the Gala?A.By using statistics.B.By listing examples.C.By explaining causes.D.By presenting research findings.(2)What do we know about the Honeycrisp?A.It is sour in flavor.B.It is light in color.C.It is gaining popularity.D.It is losing its price advantage.(3)Which of the following comes from New Zealand?A.The Fuji.B.The Honeycrisp.C.The Braeburn.D.The Granny Smith.(4)What does the text mainly tell us?A.Why Americans eat apples from different countries.B.How different apples are becoming popular in America.C.How American farmers choose their apple growing types.D.Why the Red Delicious was Americans' favorite for 50 years.causal inferences rather than simply finding patterns. "At some point—you know, if you're intelligent—you realize maybe there's something else out there," he says.【长难句分析】1.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Have you ever monitored something about yourself?

This may sound 53 , but technology is making the process easier.Perhaps you’ve wanted to 54 a bad habit and couldn’t.Self-tracking may be your answer. The idea is to take information about your everyday activities and analyze it to help geta 55 lifestyle.Recently, tools such as smartphones, journals and apps, along with newly 56 wearable gadgets(工具), are making self-tracking extremely easy. Today, one can use Fitbit, the Jawbone UP, Google Glass or a smart watch to 57 personal data including hours slept, stress levels, heart rate and mood.So why does a person self-track?

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)In the 1850s, a vast wilderness separated California from the eastern U.S. As a result, mail service to California was very slow. William Russell decided to change that. He and two partners selected a route from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California. Then they purchased 400 horses, hired workers and set up relay stations every 10 to 15 miles. Riders would change horses at these stations, and every 90 to 120 miles a new rider would take over.On April 3, 1860, their service, called the Pony Express, began. The mail deliveries reached California in about 10 days. The riders faced many risks from extreme weather, hostile Native Americans and riding accidents. But they lost only one delivery during the service’s one and a half years in operation.The Pony Express service ended in October 1861 after a telegraphline across the U.S. was completed. Yet the riders’courage and accomplishments still hold a place in legend.Today, you can visit an original Pony Express station. Called the Hollenberg Station, it is located near Hanover, Kansas. The station was originally a five-room building in which Gerat Hollenberg and his wife sold supplies and provided meals for people who were traveling to California and Oregon. The couple also rented out rooms and repaired wagons for tired travelers. While the Pony Express was in operation, riders changed horses at the station and obtained both food and shelter there.The station is now a historic landmark. For a few dollars, you can tour the site. In a nearby visitor center, there is also a small gift shop and a theater where you can see films about the station. 66. Why, mainly, did William Russell and his partners start the new service?A. To make mail delivery somewhat safer.B. To expand mail delivery to other nations.C. To dramatically speed up mail delivery.D. To reduce the high cost of mail delivery.67. What does this article imply about the work that the delivery people did?A. It continued for decades.B.

A sport name.C. A surf spot.D. A famous wave’s name.(C)Social networks have found a promising new source of advertising income: targeting users with ads for products they browsed online. The latest form of advertising, called “retargeting,”is expected to not only get more common, but increase worries over privacy. Most people are aware they are being watched online. They also know that the marketers who are tracking their movements are going to show them ads tailored to their interests.But many say it’s frightening when an ad for the product they eyed on one website begins popping up on Facebook. Analysts say these ads are only going to multiply because they are potentially very profitable for social networks under pressure from investors. With its new service called “Tailored Audiences,”marketers canreach consumers who have shown an interest in their brands, the company said.Retargeting is still a small part of the overall online advertising industry but it’s growing quickly because shoppers are clicking on the ads, according to emarketer analyst Debra Aho Williamson. Whether Twitter users will enjoy seeing these personalized ads or will be set apart by the more intrusive tracking remains to be seen. Twitter said it would disable the service for users who check the “Do Not Track”option in their browsers. Twitter users can also choose not to receive “promoted content”–advertising that appears in tweets and in trends on Twitter –by adjusting their privacy settings.But retargeted advertising may be a wake-up call for many users to how much of a data trail they leave that marketers can now follow back to their accounts.That’s just why the strategy is so effective –and why social networks are rolling out such ads, analysts say.People are much more likely to buy something they were already shopping for, said Larry Kim, founder of marketing firm WordStream.Internet giants such as Google and Yahoo have been tracking users across the Web to show them retargeted ads for years. It’s amore recent phenomenon on social networks.In retargeting, marketers use small text files called cookies. When users look at a particular item on a website, a cookie is placed on their browser. Marketers can then target FaceBook and Twitter users who recently visited their websites.No identifying information about users changes hands, FaceBook and Twitter say.“If you see an ad in your feed from a website you visited, the website doesn’t know it’s you specially seeing the ad, just a group of people who visited the website,”Williamson said, “…For some people, that is going to be a problem. For others it is going to be a benefit.”74. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Retargeting is helping social networks make advertising earnings.B. Retargeting is becoming more and more popular among young people.C. Retargeting plays a positive part in all the network users’life.D. Retargeting ads are forcing Twitter users to leave the website.75. What does the phrase popping up in the fourth paragraph most probably mean?A. becoming popularB. appearing unexpectedlyC. attacking suddenlyD. tracking quickly76. What can be inferred from the passage?A. No identifying information about users changes hands.B. Retargeting is beneficial to a special group of people.C. The website you visited will keep your personal information for you.D. Whether retargeting is safe to network users is still unclear for sure.77. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. The Strategy of Network MarketingB. The Source of Advertising IncomeC. The Trend of Targeted AdvertisingD. The Difference between Internet GiantsSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.When it comes to blessing others, some people make noble plans that end up going nowhere. But that’s not the case with Delphine and Guillaume Gauvain. When they opened an orphanage for blind children in China, they planned to bless the kids. But they were willing to learn along the way.The French couple’s first step was moving from Canada to HongKong. Their first step toward serving orphans was adopting David, a Chinese boy with a birth defect (缺陷). Guillaume, a jazz pianist, first met David while playing at the boy’s foster home. As soon as David ran up to him, Guillaume was immediately hooked.In search of people they could help, the couple moved to Beijing in 2002. After some research, they discovered that blind children needed a large amount of special care. That’s why they started Bethel –a foster care program focusing on blind children. In December 2003 they rented a house and received their first three children. Because two of the children were autistic (孤独症) as well as blind, Delphine was overwhelmed at first. But she soon found ways to help the kids.As the Gauvains took in more children, dormitories and a school were built. In 2008, Bethel moved to a site on a farm. They later added special gardens that allowed the kids to help out.Since its founding, Bethel has opened a total of four foster care projects in China. Together, they make up the Love Is Blind part of Bethel’s efforts. They are run like family homes, full of hope and laughter. That’s why the children refer to Delphine and Guillaume as Faguo Mama and Faguo Baba.Don’t assume the staff is soft on the kids, though. They teach the kids how to perform daily routines independently. In addition, thekids have classes.

For one thing, our parents care for us so much that they certainly deserve to be trusted. For another, lacking in experience, we teenagers do need some help and support from them in making decisions or solving problems. Also, as our guardians, parents desire to know our secrets to ensure we are safe and sound, to ensure we have a good state of mind, and etc.As for me, I always let my parents know my secrets, and we often have a heart-to-heart talk like close friends. As a result, they can know what I need, and even what I am upset or annoyed about. If necessary, they are always ready to offer me valuable advice in time, which can prevent me from doing wrong or help me make the right decisions. Therefore, sharing secrets with parents benefits teenagers a lot. (153words)听力原文:Text 1M: I really like this table, Marie. The wood is beautiful, and it looks like it will last a hundred years.W: I agree with you, but I’m not sure we can afford it right now, Thomas.Text 2M: Did Henry plant all the trees himself?W: He planned to, but he hurt his hand when he rode a bike. So I did instead of him. Text 3W: Trent, I’ve got something to tell you. I got fired today.M: What?! You just got promoted last week! How could they do this to you?!W: April Fool’s!Text 4W: You mistook the salt for sugar? I told you the salt was in the black container and the sugar was in the white one.M: Yes, that was so silly of me. I forgot that you told me, and I couldn’t tell the difference at the time. This coffee is terrible now!Text 5M: Mars moves slower than the Earth.W: Yes. A day on Mars is 37 minutes longer than a day on the Earth.Text 6M: Good morning, Native Tongue Translations. Can I help you?W: Yes. I was wondering how much it would cost to translate a document from English into Arabic.M: Well, it depends on the kind of document, low long it is, and when you need it returned.W: It’s a cookbook about 20000 words long. It is not urgent, so you can take your time.M: Well, Madam, Arabic is one of the most difficult languages in the world, and there aren’t very many translators compared to, say, Spanish. In other words, the charge for Arabic translation will be higher than for most other languages.W: I understand. Could you give me an estimate?M: For this project, we would charge between five and ten cents per word.W: OK. Thanks for your time. I think I’ll keep looking.Text 7M: Hello?W: Hi, my name is Kelsey Adams. I’m calling about the TV.M: Oh, hi! So you saw my ad in the newspaper?W: That’s right. My old TV just stopped work ing, so I think this might be great for both of us!M: I hope so. It’s a 50-inch Sony flat screen TV, and it’s only 6 months old. I’m asking for 500 bucks, but I’d be willing to negotiate.W: It sounds like a decent deal, but I would have to see it first, of course. M: Absolutely. When can you come over to take a look at it?W: How about 3:00 p.m. this afternoon?M: Hmm, I’ve got a meeting at 2:00 p.m. and it might run a little late. How does 4:00 p.m. sound?W: Perfect. Just tell me your address.Text 8M: Hey, did you see China’s women’s volleyball team on television last nigh? W: Yes, the game was so exciting! I usually watch basketball, but that was great last night!M: Definitely a good effort! If anything, I was disappointed that the other team didn’t put up much of a fight. They made a lot of bad mistakes, and they always seemed to be hitting the ball out of bounds.W: I just enjoyed how China celebrated after every point they won. Volleyball seems so much more passionate compared to other sports.M: Well, their victory means they will compete in the Olympics next year, which was their goal. I just hope they can pick up the least a bronze medal.W: Bronze? You mean gold, right?M: Well, that would be great, but there are a couple of very strong teams that beatChina in a recent competition.W: I saw those matches—they were extremely close! China can beat them next year for sure!M: We’ll see. I hope you’re right. But you never know what will happen in sports. W: Exactly! They might surprise you! Then what will you say?M: Ha ha, let’s just wait and see.Text 9M: Ms. Robertson, for the past three weeks, I have been getting complaints about your work.W: Uh, what do you mean? What kind of complaints?M: Well, your supervisor told me you’re turning your reports in 2 to 3 days late, you’re often absent from staff meetings, and you haven’t been getting along with your colleagues.W: Look, Mr. Travers I can explain…M: Ms. Robertson, I know you have been with us for a while now, but this business is changing fast. We need people who can keep up and work as a team.W: Mr. Travers, my mother was just diagnosed with stomach cancer. I’ve been spending all my time outside of work at the hospital with her, and I even had to leave work early because she went into e mergency surgery and I had to sign some papers. I’ve been so exhausted, and then Morrison from accounting made a joke the other day about cancer victims losing their hair and …M: Oh… I had no idea, Ms. Robertson.W: I know my work has suffered these past few weeks, but I promise I will make up for it!M: Listen, why don’t you take a couple of days off? It’s much more important that you be with your mother while she is recovering.W: Really, sir? Thank you so much!M: My pleasure. And I’ll have a word wit h Morrison. That kind of talk has no place in this office!Text 10Good afternoon, shoppers! This is a special request from the security department here at Wal-Mart. We hope you are finding everything you are looking for, but right now, we need your help. We are looking for a 10-year-old boy named Brandon McSorley.

AThree friends decided to sail around the world in a small yacht(游艇).They loaded it with food and water and set off. They travelled to many beautiful places, and were having a wonderful time.Until one day, when they had been at sea for about a month, a fierce storm blew up.Great waves crashed down on their little yacht.The mast(船桅)broke and the yacht was soon thrown against some rocks near a deserted island.The three men were able to struggle to the island, taking with them as much food as they could carry.Not a tree, not a bush, not a flower grew on the island.There was not an animal of any kind, not even a bird or an insect.For a few weeks the three men were able to live on the food they had saved, but at last it was gone except for one piece of bread.They decided that whoever had the best dream the next night, could have the bread.The next morning they took turns describing their dreams.The first man said that he had dreamed he was in the world's most beautiful restaurant. He had eaten the finest meal of his life and drunk some of the finest wines. He said it was one of the best dreams he had ever had.The second man described how he had dreamed about a magic carpet. Sitting on this carpet, he had travelled to all the wonderful places in the world and been the guest of great kings and queens. It had been a truly exciting dream.The men who had described their dreams then turned to the third man.“Tell us your dream, "they said.“My dream was very simple," he said.“I dreamed that the bread was going bad and would soon be moldy(发了霉的).I didn't want to waste the bread, so as soon as l woke up l ate it.”( )21.What did the three men take with them?A. Many books.B. Nothing.C.A large crew.D. Many provisions(食物贮备). ( )22.The island had________.A. a lot of trees, bushes and flowersB. no vegetation or wildlifeC. plentiful suppliesD. many birds and animals ( )23.They survived________.A. on their supplies from the yachtB. on vegetables on the islandC. on some food that they foundD. on bread only( )24.What did the second man dream of?A. Travelling.B. Going shopping.C. Meeting kings and queens at his home.D. Sleeping.BThere are over I million kinds of superstitions (迷信),and most people believe at least one or two of them.Many people are superstitious about numbers. They think that there are lucky numbers and unlucky numbers.The number 13 is often considered unlucky, In some parts of the world, buildings have no 13th floor and streets have no houses with the number 13.In Japan,4 is considered unlucky because in Japanese the word "four" is pronounced the same as the word “death".Japanese never give gifts of four knives, four napkins(餐巾),or four of anything.What are the lucky numbers?7 is a lucky number in many places, and 8 isconsidered a lucky number in Japan and China. In China, businesses often open on August 8,and many couples register to get married at eight past eight on August 8.Superstitions about numbers are so widespread that some people---called numerologists(命理学学者)---make a living giving advice about numbers.In 1937,when the Toyoda family of Japan wanted to form a car company, they asked a numerologist if “Toyoda” would be a good name for the company.The numerologist said it would not be. He explained that "Toyota" would be a better name for the company. The family took his advice. As a result, millions of people drive “Toyotas” and not “Toyodas”.There are many other kinds of superstitions. There are superstitions about eating, sleeping, sneezing(打喷嚏)and itching(抓痒).There are superstitions about animals and holidays and horseshoes.There are even superstitions about superstitions. Those superstitions tell people how to reverse bad luck.When the Japanese bump heads, they immediately bump heads again. According to a Japanese superstition, the first bump means their parents will die, but the se cond bump "erases” the first bump.To reverse bad luck in general, people turn around three times. turn their pockets inside out, or put their hats on backwards.In the United States, baseball players sometimes wear their caps backwards when their team is losing. It looks silly, but the baseball players do not mind if it helps them win the game.( )25.It can be inferred that superstitions about number are________.A. popular in JapanB. popular in ChinaC. both A and BD. causing millions of people to die ( )26.From this passage we can learn that________.A. a numerologist is an expert in maths.B. a numerologist is the owner of “Toyoda”C. a numerologist is a supermanD. a numerologist is a fortune-teller( )27.If a Japanese purposely bumps his head again after an accidental bump, we can be sure that________.A. he is madB. he is happyC. he is superstitiousD. he is very good( )28.The writer wrote this passage with the purpose of________.A. persuading us to believe superstitionsB. showing us some facts of superstitionsC. showing us the magic power of numberD. showing us a numerologistCIt was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers therewere some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog's legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other place.This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catching them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catchfrogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn't last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and there seemed to be more insects around lately.The villagers decided that they couldn't just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides and medicines. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening, It was the frog. They hadn't been useless. They had been doing an important job––eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.( )29.From Paragraph 1 we learn that the villagers________.A. worked very hard for centuriesB. dreamed of having a better lifeC. were poor but somewhat contentD. lived a different life from their forefathers( )30.Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?A.
