UK parents hope their kids can grow into successful people so they make their kids learn all kinds of subjects after school. Though some kids are very young, they still take part in a lot of after-class activities.In UK, 20% of parents spend yearly 600 pounds on different classes for their kids. For example, young kids have to learn French, swimming, painting and so on to follow their parents' ideas. 75% of parents think that early learning is good for kids. Most kids who go to after-class activities are under 6 years old.The famous educator Lisa Houghton says, "Although learning different kinds of subjects is important to kids, it's more important to make them have a happy childhood.

This year’s *slogan is“*Breathe Easily, Sleep Well”. Its aim is to celebrate the*benefits of good and healthy sleep.Fangfang, from Liaoning, just became a high school studentlast September. She gets up at 5:30 a.m. every day and goes to bed at about midnight. Fangfang feels sleepy all the time. “I want to finish all my homework first,” she said.Sleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. According to the National Sleep *Foundation in the US, adults need seven to nine hours of sleep every night. For students who are 10 to 17 years old, a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours every night.But many students don’t get enough sleep because of early school start time and heavy homework. About 80 percent of middle school students don’t get enough sleep, the China Youth and Children Research Center reported. For some students, they want to sleep early, but they keep worrying about their schoolwork and can’t fall asleep quickly. For others, they may even have insomnia, and usually they have to ask the doctors for help.These sleeping problems greatly *affect people’s life. Some doctors found out that *lack of sleep for teenagers lead to poor grades. Students without enough sleep cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports. Also, they often become anxious easily.Luckily, with good sleep habits, it is easier to fall asleep. Some of these good habits include *avoiding drinks that make people excited late in the day, going to sleep at the same time every night, and sleeping in a comfortable place that is dark, quiet, and neither too warm nor too cold.More tips to get a good night’s sleep:✧Exercising during the day. You’d better do sports three hours before going to bed.✧Don’t eat big meals before bedtime. Drink a warm glass of milk.✧If you stay awake worrying about things, try making a list of things that you need to do before you go to bed.36.

If teenagers don’t get enough sleep, they may _____________.A. do well in sportsB. grow and develop betterC. feel sleepy in classD. do much better in studies39. Which of the following is a good sleeping habit according to the passage?A. Do exercise at night before going to bed.B. Going to sleep at the same time every night.C.

Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn (打哈欠) and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, obviously it’s be cause we have mirror neurons (神经元) in our brains.Put simply, the presence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains model after it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions,they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains,but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages,and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researche rs discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: “The hand took hold of the ball”), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that peop le with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning (行使职责). However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information about how humans behave, communicate and spend time together. Indeed, it may turn out to be nearly the same important thing for neuroscience as what Einstein’s theory of r elativity (相对论) was for physics. And the next time you have the strong feeling to cough in the cinema when someone else does – well, perhaps you’ll understand why.48. Mirror neurons can explain ______.A. why we cry when we are hurtB. why we cough when we catch a coldC. why we smile when we see someone else smileD. why we yawn when we see someone else get up late49. The word “triggered” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”.A. set offB. cut offC. broken outD. found out50. We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _______.A. relate to human behavior and communicationB. decide our knowledge and language abilitiesC. result in bad behavior and social disordersD. control human actions and appearances51. What is the passage mainly about?A. Ways to find mirror neurons.B. Problems of mirror neurons.C. Discovery of mirror neurons.D. Functions of mirror neurons.参考答案48. C 49. A 50. A 51.

I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said:”Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today - and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, ” But I’m just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”“Nobody. I do it.”“Really-at night, when you’re asleep?”“Sure.”“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”25. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________?A. know more about the studentsB. make the lessons more excitingC. raise the students’ interest in artD. teach the students about toy design26. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. He liked to help his teacher.B. He preferred to study alone.C. He was active in class.D. He was imaginative.27. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Mistake.B. Drawback.C. Difficulty.D. Burden.28. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?A. To help them to see their creativity.B. To find out about their sleeping habits.C. To help them to improve their memory.D. To find out about their ways of thinking.CReading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managi ng director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.29. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A. To explain what they are.B. To introduce BookCrossing.C. To stress the importance of reading.D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.30. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2refer to?A. The book.B. An adventure.C.A public place.D. The identification number.31. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?A. Meet other readers to discuss it.B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.C. Pass it on to another reader.D. Mail it back to its owner.32. What is the best title for the text?A. Online Reading: A Virtual TourB. Electronic Books: A new TrendC. A Book Group Brings Tradition BackD. A Website Links People through BooksDA new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to lifeFrank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-ratephoto-journalism---if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.33. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A. They were made last weekB. They showed undersea sceneriesC. They were found by a cameramanD. They recorded a disastrous adventure34. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A. Frank HurleyB. Ernest ShackletonC. Robert Falcon ScottD. Caroline Alexander35. What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?A. Artistic creationB. Scientific researchC. Money makingD. Treasure hunting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。

The passenger pigeon(旅鸽) used to be one of the most common birds on the earth.A century ago, they became extinct(灭绝). Scientist Ben Novak is working to bring the birds back. Here, he explains to us why w e should bring passenger pigeons back from extinct.The passenger pigeon is not the bird that you probably know. It's been gone from the world for100 years. It means that few living people have ever seen one flying in the sky.The passenger pigeon lived differently from other birds in America---in flocks(群) made up millions of birds. They darkened the sky when they flew in the air. One reason to bring passenger pigeons back to life is that it would be wonderful to see a flock that big. It would also be cool to see an extinct animal.But it's not just about doing something cool. Huge flocks of passenger pigeons played a key role in shaping forests. The weight of so many birds resting in the trees broke many branches(树枝). This allowed more sunlight to reach the forest floor, which helped more plants grow.The birds also ate a large number of plants. That influenced which trees grew in the forest. If we bring back the passenger pigeon, it would play an important role in shaping forest once again.44. Scientists Ben Novak is working to________.A . learn more about the forest.B. find more birds in the forest.C. bring back the passenger pigeon.D. Work out the number of pigeons.45. When did passenger pigeon become extinct?A. 10 years ago.B. 50 years ago.C. 100 years ago.D. 500 years ago.46. How did the passenger pigeon live?A. In flocks.B. In paris.C. By resting in dark forests.D. By resting in cool places.47. How did the passenger pigeon help forests?A. By helping more plants grow.B. By keeping many birds away.C. By staying on the forest floor.D. By preventing sunlight.44. C. 解析:细节题。

Some body languages may have different meanings in different countries. Here are three examples.Handshakes are popular in the US and suitable for use between men and women. However, in Muslim cultures, men may not shake hands or touch women in any way. In Hindu cultures, Hindu men may never shake hands with women. Instead, they greet women by placing their hands as if praying.The thumbs up gesture could show “OK” or “good” in countrieslike the US, France and Germany. But this same gesture isinsulting in other countries like Iran, Bangladesh and Thailand,where it has the same meaning as showing the middle finger in theUS.“Making a circle with one’s thumb and index finger while extending the others” has the m eaning of “OK” in America. In China, we always take it as number three. Of course, we use it as “OK” as well at present. However, in Japan and Korean it means “money”. Learning a culture’s body language is sometimes confusing. If you don’t know what to do, the safest thing to do is to smile.( ) 36.The examples used in this passage don’t include____________.A. making a circle with one’s thumb and index finger while extending the othersB. pointing at the other a personC. thumbs upD. shaking hands( ) 37.According to the passage, Which one is TRUE?A.

ADo you believe in green living? Read the following blog (博客)and replies about a fun, easy and creative way to make your lifestyle greener. Posted by Gina at 8:32 a. m. on 11th February 2018 New uses for old clothing Nowadays, we're more wasteful than ever-buying, using and throwing things away without thinkingabout the costs. We need to start living more responsibly- buthow? One answer is to upcycle (再生利用) .If you're like me, you might already make soil for gardeningfrom food waste and use empty paper boxes as storage space.Did you know you can apply (应用) the same way to oldclothing? You just need imagination!I started upcycling clothing. Making new things out of old clothes is the best way to mix my talent and my interest. Do you upcycle? If so, what new things have you made? If not, why not give it a try?What do you think of the "new" hat I made for my sister? It used to be my mum's sweater.Terry B Posted at 9:08 a. m. on 11th February 2018 Why don't you give your old clothes to people in need? I even give away the most expensive things I don't wear anymore. So I can help the environment while giving something useful to people in need.Gina Posted at 9:28 a. m. on 1lth February 2018 earlyGood point! I'm talking about only the oldest clothing in your room — the clothes that are too old to be worn by others. The same idea goes for food waste at restaurants and supermarkets.Before upcycling food that can still be eaten, for example, using it to make soil, weshould give it to those in need.Betty99Posted at 10:18 a. m. on llth February 2018I've made shopping bags out of T-shirts and dog toys out of socks.Upcycling clothing is a fun hobby, but the most important thing is that it makes mefeel like I'm living less wastefully.16. What is special about the hat?A. It came from an old sweater.B. It was given by Gina's mum.C. It was new and expensive.D. It was a gift from Gina's sister.17. Why did Gina give a reply to TerryB?A. To draw TerryB's attention.B. To introduce a new method.C. To further explain her idea.D. To express her deep regret.18. What did Betty99 upcycle to make dog toys?A. Paper boxes.B. Shopping bags.C. T-shirts.D. Socks.BTraffic lights are red, yellow and green. They are very important signals (信号). Traffic lights are usually placed at busy street corners to help control traffic Sometimes, they are on streets near schools and shops, too. Most young children are taught what each of the colored lights means, so everybody can stay safe.The first traffic signals were used for trains. The signals were put alongside railway tracks ( (轨道). The color red was used to mean "stop" because it warned people of danger. A red light was also the easiest color to see from a distance. Train drivers could see the red "stop" light ahead and had enough time to slow down and stop their trains. A green light was used to mean "take care" and a white light meant "go".However, there were many dangerous accidents on the train tracks. Some train drivers thought a star shining in the night sky was a white light that meant "go"". So the signals were swapped. The "go" light was changed to green and the "take care" light was changed to white.During these times, people travelled by train or in carts pulled by horses. Years later, when cars were built, people began to drive them because they could travel much faster than horses. However, the road rules for drivers were not very clear and many people were hurt crossing the roads. Yellow warning signs had to be placed beside the roads to remind drivers to take care and allow people to cross safely.Today, towns and cities all over the world have traffic lights. Red and green lights match the signals used on the railways. Yellow lights are easy to see, so they are used to warn drivers that they should slow down and prepare to stop.19. Why was the color red used to mean "stop"?A. It reminded people of traffic rules.B. It helped trains run smoothly.C. It gave people a warning of danger.D. It was the first color people thought of.20. What does the underlined word "swapped" in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Designed.B. Exchanged.C. Suggested.D. Compared.21. In which order did the "take care" light develop?a. A white lightb. A green light.c. A yellow light.C. a一c一b B. b一c一a A. a一b一cD. b一a一c22. What is the passage mainly about?A. The advantages of traffic lights.B. The history of traffic lights.C. The importance of traffic lights.D. The meanings of traffic lights.CA lot of animals travel from one place to another. We call this migration.In Africa, large animals, like elephants and zebras, migrate to find food and water. They usually follow the same ways every year.A lot of birds migrate to find food and better weather, too. They are usually birds that eat insects. They spend the summer in northern Europe, because there are lots of insects there. In the winter there aren't any insects, so the birds fly south to southern Europe and Africa.Some insects migrate, too. In North America, millions of monarch butterflies fly south to spend the winter in Mexico, California and Florida, where it's warmer. They travel 50-65 km each day and they travel about 1, 125 km.Some fish migrate to breed (繁殖). Salmon (鲑鱼) can swim over 20, 000 km in their life. They are born in rivers in Ireland, Scotland and other places in northern Europe. The young fish swim down the river to the sea and into the Atlantic Ocean. They live in the ocean until they are adults. Then they return to the river where they were born. They lay their eggs in the river and then they usually die. Salmon do this, because their eggs are safer in the river. Other fish can't eat them.Arctic terns (北极燕鸥) travel the furthest when they migrate. They spend the summer in the Arctic, but when winter comes they fly to the Antarctic, because it's summer there. The next year they fly back to the Arctic again. In one year these small birds travel 36, 000km from one end of the earth to the other and back again. Nobody knows how they do it.23. According to the passage, monarch butterflies in North America migrate to___________.A. find insectsB. look for waterC. find better weatherD. produce young24. Adult salmon swim back to the river because A. they won't be eaten by other big fish B. they want to lay eggs in a safer place C. they are getting ready to die thereD. they want to go where they grew up25. Which of the following is true about animals' migration?A. Elephants in Africa usually travel the same way each year.B. Most birds fly to southern Europe and Africa in summer.C. Some insects travel 1, 125 km each day.D. Salmon swim 20, 000 km each year.26. The example of Arctic terns in the last paragraph is used mainly to show _________.A. the distance of migrationB. the purpose of migrationC. the direction of migrationD. the time of migrationDHow would you feel if someone decided to take away your park? Well that's what's happening in my community. There's a park that some people want to turn into a golf course (高尔夫球场). Let me tell you why I think it's a bad idea.First, a park is meant to be for the whole community. Not everyone likes golf, so not everyone will get to use the park. This isn't fair. A community park should have open spaces for everyone to use.Second, to make way for the golf course, lots of playground equipment (设施) will have to be moved or knocked down, which is a waste of time and money. It's also a waste of perfectly good equipment. The swings, for example, will probably just end up as litter.Third, what about giving young people something to do? Not all kids are crazy about golf. At the moment, the park has a skating place and a playground. These attract lots of kids from the community. If you turn the park into a golf course, these kids won't have anywhere to go and they won't have anything to do.This means that they will stay at home and turn on a video game rather than get some exercise. It also means that they might be out on the street causing trouble. Wouldn't it be better to give them something to do at the park?Finally, golf is expensive. Building a golf course and maintaining (维护)it costs a lot of money. Who is going to pay to maintain the golf course? What about those people who can't afford to join a golf club? That means that the golf course will only be available to people with lots of money.Turning our park into a golf course is a bad idea. I suggest we have a community meeting before plans go any further.27. Some people want to change the park into ______________.A. a golf clubB. a golf courseC. a parkD. a skating place28. According to Paragraph 4, having nowhere to go will make some childrenA. go to get some exerciseB. fall in love with golfC. play video games at homeD. go to the street and make friends29. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?(P=Paragraph)30. What is the writer's purpose in writing this passage?A. To help carry out further plans.B. To make the park more beautiful.C. To encourage children to go skating.D. To stop the golf course from being built.第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)A篇:文章大意:本文主要介绍了 Gina对绿色生活的看法——再生利用旧衣物,以及TerryB和Betty99对Gina这篇博客的回复。

I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said:”Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today - and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, ” But I’m just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”“Nobody. I do it.”“Really-at night, when you’re asleep?”“Sure.”“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”25. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________?A. know more about the studentsB. make the lessons more excitingC. raise the students’ interest in artD. teach the students about toy design26. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. He liked to help his teacher.B. He preferred to study alone.C. He was active in class.D. He was imaginative.27. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Mistake.B. Drawback.C. Difficulty.D. Burden.28. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?A. To help them to see their creativity.B. To find out about their sleeping habits.C. To help them to improve their memory.D. To find out about their ways of thinking.CReading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managi ng director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.29. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A. To explain what they are.B. To introduce BookCrossing.C. To stress the importance of reading.D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.30. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2refer to?A. The book.B. An adventure.C.A public place.D. The identification number.31. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?A. Meet other readers to discuss it.B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.C. Pass it on to another reader.D. Mail it back to its owner.32. What is the best title for the text?A. Online Reading: A Virtual TourB. Electronic Books: A new TrendC. A Book Group Brings Tradition BackD. A Website Links People through BooksDA new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to lifeFrank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-ratephoto-journalism---if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.33. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A. They were made last weekB. They showed undersea sceneriesC. They were found by a cameramanD. They recorded a disastrous adventure34. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A. Frank HurleyB. Ernest ShackletonC. Robert Falcon ScottD. Caroline Alexander35. What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?A. Artistic creationB. Scientific researchC. Money makingD. Treasure hunting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。

Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences.

Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to cut down pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches.Red can cause a person’s blood pressure (血压) to rise and increase people’s appetites (食欲). Many designers will include different shades of red in restaurants.

I put a small set ofTinkertoys in front of each student, and said:” Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today -and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do.Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of themodel plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. Hisconstructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. Iwas delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mindat work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whosecreativity would infect(感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing thosestudents who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare,”not creative.”“ Doyou dream at night when you?re asleep?”“ Oh, sure.”“ So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads.pretty creative. Who does that for you?”“ Nobody. I do it.”“ Really-at night, when you?re asleep?”Sure.“ Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”25.

Many textbooks are not written in the kind of English that we speak every day.In fact,sometimes the reading is so difficult that it,almost seems like a foreign language.In a way,it is--the language of science.You should not expect to be able to read a difficu lt science passage the same way you read an interesting story; you should not expect to read it easily and all at once.Instead,you may have to read it several times through,catching on the meaning of difficult words,going back over difficult sentences,and finally putting the whole thing together.Do not be discouraged if the whole passage don't make sense to you at first.You need to pick it apart patiently until you can understand it.These are the steps to follow when you are reading something difficult:★ Start t o read normally until you run into a sentence that doesn't make sense to you.★ When a sentence doesn't make sense,go back and read it again more slowly.★ Look for any word you don't know in the sentence.Try to understand their meanings using word parts and context clues (上下文线索).If necessary,look them up in the dictionary.★ Look at the next few sentences to see if they explain more about the sentence you are working on.Do not read very much farther ahead until you understand what is being said.★ Finally,read the sentence again.Try to put it into simpler words.★ Read through the passage once.Try to understand all the hard parts well.Then read the whole passage once more at a usual speed.This helps you to put all ides together.The stops sound a lot harder than they are.It is really just the normal way good readers understand anything that is difficult to read.After you have done the best you can this way,you should always feel free to ask for help from your teacher,if you have one.51.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Don't give up if you can't understand the passage at the beginning.B.If you don't agree with passage,don't be disappointed.C.Difficult passage often discourages you at first.D.You'd better try you best to catch the meaning of the passage.52.The underlined phrase "run into" means_____A.work out B.come across.C.look into D.pass by 53.From the passage,we can know_____A.we should always look up new words while readingB.it is sometimes difficult to read a science passageC.the steps are helpful in learning spoken EnglishD.interesting stories help readers to improve their English54.How many steps are given when you are reading something difficult?
