A
The house was quiet at 5 am and Tim’s mother was asleep. Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet. He’d dreamt of the cave last night. The purring (轻微颤动声) of the freezer had been the sea.
Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. He’d eat after he’d b een through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea. He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches-but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she' d want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table: Gone to Michael’s. Back tonight, Tim.
The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn't up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet.
The sand hills still breathed heat from yesterday’s sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves.
The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world.
Over the first rocks, along to the point, Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky.
He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn't go in all the way...
21. What did Tim do at the beginning of the story?
A. He put a sweater in his schoolbag.
B. He had breakfast at home.
C. He left a note on the freezer.
D. He left the house quietly.
22. What made it possible for Tim to see the entry to the cave?
A. The height of the first rocks.
B. The change in the position of the sun.
C. The ups and downs of the waves.
D. The vast stretch of the sunlit beach.
23. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the story?
A. Tim was the only person on the beach.
B. Seabirds flew away when Tim arrived.
C. The sea looked like a piece of gold.

B
You may know your mother, but how well do you really know Mother’s Day? Cards, flowers, sales, TV specials, and a day off for someone who really deserves (应得) it ---- those are what probably come to mind for many people when they think of Mother’s Day. But there’s more to the story.
The earliest Mother’s Day celebrations were held during spring in ancient Greece. The celebrations honored Rhea, the Mother of the gods. During the 1600’s, England celebrated a day called Mothering Sunday. On this day even servants were given the day off to spend with their families. A mothering cake was even served with the family meal.
In the US, Mother’s Day began in 1872 when Julia Ward Howe, who wrote the words to the famous song The Battle Hymn of the Republic, suggested it as a day devoted to peace. But it didn’t really become popular until 1907 when Anna Jarvis started a campaign to honor mothers. She believed that mothers could help people get over the pain they experienced during the Civil War. The US isn’t alo ne in devoting a day to mothers. Many other countries including Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, Japan, and Belgium also honor their mothers in May. Other countries honor their mothers at different times of the year.
Learning more about Mother’s Day and celebrating Mother’s Day are important, but probably not as important as understanding what your own mother, or grandmother, or aunt has really done for you. And that will certainly be appreciated more than one day in a year.
25. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The reason why people celebrate Mother’s Day.
B. The ways people honor mothers.
C. The history of Mother’s Day.
D. The contribution of mothers.
26. Where was the earliest Mother’s Day celebrated?
A. In ancient Greece.
B. In the US.
C. In England.
D. In Italy.
27. We can learn from the passage that _____.
A. Rhea is the mother of a king in ancient Greece
B. all the countries don’t celebrate Mother’s Day in May
C. only mothers were given a day off on Mothering Sunday
D. it was in 1872 that Mother’s Day really came into being
28. The last paragraph tells us that _____.
A. all the people should celebrate Mother’s Day by doing something good to their mothers.
B. only mothers are honored on Mother’s Day
C. understan ding mothers’ work is more important than just celebrating Mother’s Day
D. people should celebrate Mother’s Day every day
C
A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.
Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.
The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.
Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.
Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.
While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night. Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium (钙)content, which helps people to relax.
Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending(推荐) skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.
29. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.
A. started sleep more easily
B. were more anxious
C. were less active
D. woke up later
30. Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?
A. It’s been tested on mice for ten times
B. It can make people more energetic
C. It exists in milk in great amount
D. It’s used in sleeping drugs
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Night Milk and Sleep
B. Fat Sugar and Health
C. An Experiment on Mice
D. Milk Drinking and Health
32. How does the author support the theme of the text?
A. By giving examples.
B. By stating arguments.
C. By explaining statistical data.
D. By providing research results.
D
A. In May 2016
B. In May 2017
C. In September 2017
D. In September 2016
34. Who is more likely to get the job?
A. Sam, English major, member of the college basketball team
B. Judy, IT staff with night classes, children’s basketball team coach
C. Ted, computer major, basketball fan, free on evenings and weekends
D. Molly, part-time programmer, high school basketball player, new mother
35. Whom should you contact if you want to apply for the job in Rockville?

根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

What to do in a fire?
What if there is a fire where you live? Would you know what to do? Talking about fires can be scary because no one likes to think about people getting hurt or their things getting burned.
36
Know your way out
An escape plan can help every member of a family get out of a burning house. The idea is to get outside quickly and safely. 37 So it is important to learn and remember the different ways out of your home.
Stay low
If you can see smoke in the house, stay low to the ground as you make your way to the exit.
38 You will breathe less smoke if you stay to the ground. Smoke naturally rises, so if there is smoke while you are using your escape route, staying low means you can crawl under most of it.
What if you can’t get out right away?
If you can’t get out fast because fire or smoke is blocking an escape route, you will want to yell for help. You can do this from an open window or call 911 if you have a phone with you. 39 Then, firefighters will have a hard time finding you. The sooner they find you, the sooner you both can get out.
If your clothes catch fire, what should you do?
Your clothes could catch fire during a fire or by accident if you step too close to a candle. 40 Instead , stop, drop to the ground, cover your face with your hands, and roll. This will cut off the air and put out the flames. An easy way to remember this is : Stop, Drop, and Roll !
A.If this happens, don’t run!
B.Prevent fires is in the first place!
C.But you can feel less worried if you are prepared.
D.Smoke from a fire can make it hard to see where things are.
E.Even if you are scared, never hide under the bed or in a closet.
F.They will help prepare you for what you need to do in case of a fire.
G.In a fire, smoke and poisonous air hurt more people than the actual flames do.

Dear Headmaster,
I am write to talk about the canteen(食堂) of our school. There are only a few service stands in the canteen, lead to lots of students having to line up for food. It is waste of time, isn’t it? Beside, at times the food is not fresh and does not taste deliciously. So it’s not surprising that some students often chose to go to the street to buy junk food which do harm to their health. Would you think about that how to improve it? I would appreciate you if you could take some measures. Hopefully, my opinion can be taken into consider.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua
