5．阅读下列短文，按照每题后的单词要求数量回答问题
The seed vault（种子地窖）
A lot of countries need different kinds of seeds so that they can plant them again. There is an important reason for this, Sometimes plants can't grow in a country because of bad weather or disease, so farmers need new seeds.
You can keep seeds in a" seed vault". It's a place at a special temperature. The seeds don't grow, but they can live for a long time. Norway has the biggest seed vault in the world ﹣the Svalbard Global Seed Vault﹣and it has seeds from a lot of different countries.
The vault is on the island of Spitsbergen. The island is about one thousand kilometers from the North Pole. It's a very cold place so it's good for seeds. Above the ground, the doorway is small, but inside, the building is huge. You walk down a long corridor （走廊）, which is one hundred and thirty meters inside a mountain. At the end of it, there are three large areas with seeds.
There are about half a million kinds of seeds inside the vault. For example, there are kinds of seeds for rice from Asia and Africa, 32 kinds of seeds for potatoes from Ireland and seeds for different tomatoes from the USA.
The seed vault has space for a lot more seeds. You can put about 2.2 billion（十亿）seeds inside. The seeds can live here for thousands of years because of the cold temperature of ﹣18℃. So in the future, humans can grow any seed they want. In other words, the seed vault is the difference between life and death.
（1）Why can't plants grow in a country? （within 6 words）
（2）Where is the biggest seed vault in the world? （within 2 words）
（3）How far is the Svalbard Global Seed Vault from the North Pole? （within 4 words）

6．根据短文内容，完成下面的表格。

Have you ever wondered what an American high school is really like? This article will describe a typical （典型的） high school and its students.
A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about l, 500 students. Every student is given a locker. When students first arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive, students would rather loan （租借）than buy them. Students must pay back if they lose any of them.
American students have different types of school transport. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school. When they turn 16 years old, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students earn passing grades in the class and also pass their state driver's exam, they can begin driving themselves to school.
Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take Science, Maths, English and Social Studies. They can choose Art, Homemaking, Fashion Design and other classes. In some schools students are required to take one or more of the following special classes: Health Education, Physical Education or Foreign Language Studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. This is because each teacher has their own classroom. There is a five-minute break between classes, to give the students the time to hurry to their next class.
The regular school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than half of the students are involved in after-school activities. These activities include sports-especially football, basketball, baseball and soccer or clubs, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper, photograph or student government.
7．根据短文内容，填写所缺单词，每个空格只填1个单词。

'USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?' We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.
It's true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.
But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language.
Students must also learn to live without parents' care and deal with all kinds of things they haven't had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.
Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden （负担）to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?
We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.
8．根据短文内容，完成下面的表格。

In classes, your teachers will talk about the topics that you are studying. The information they provide will be important for you to know when you take tests. So you must be able to take good written notes from what your teachers say.
Here are three stages （阶段） of taking notes and what you should do during each stage.
Before class
Review your notes you have taken before you come to class. This will be good for remembering what was covered. Get you ready to understand new information your teacher will provide.
During class
Keep your attention on what your teacher is saying and "the signal words" that tell you what your teacher is going to say and it is important to write in your notes. Examples of signal words are "The most important point.” and "Remember that . . . ” Be sure to include in your notes information that your teacher repeats or writes on the blackboard. Write quickly so that you can include all the important information in your notes. Do this by writing abbreviations such as med for medicine, using symbols such as % for percent, and writing short sentences.
After class
Rewrite your notes to make them more complete and accurate （准确的）by changing abbreviations into whole words, symbols into words, and shortened sentences into longer sentences. Use them to answer your questions. If necessary, ask your teacher for help.
9．请阅读下面短文，在短文后表格中的空白处填上适当的单词（注意：每空1个单词）。

What would you do if you felt anxious（焦虑的）？Would you feel better if someone else could share his or her experiences with you? In the United States, two teenage girls set up a mental health camp called "Healing（治愈）Hearts" to help people deal with anxiety.
The idea of creating the camp came from Dinah Martinez, 17, and her schoolmate Janet Martinez, 18. Both girls suffered from anxiety.
Dinah Martinez always did well in school. "But then I just started to collapse（崩溃）,"Dinah Martinez said. She stopped talking to her friends, stopped going to school for three weeks and
stayed at home.
Janet Martinez was anxious in elementary school. Things got even worse in junior high. "It was a lot of pressure（压力）I put on myself. I would wake up in the morning and it was like my heart was racing," she said.
The girls' camp idea got support from Girls Leading Our World （GLOW）in the US. The organization awarded them $ 5,000 to put on the camp for other teenage girls.
The "Healing Hearts" camp was created to "help deal with anxiety, especially with girls in high school because that's when they are the most vulnerable（脆弱的）, "Janet Martinez said.
On the first day of the camp, 10 girls were there. Experts at the camp talked about anxiety. They helped girls who were experiencing anxiety. The girls learned how to calm themselves when they are anxious. They learned about calming methods like deep breathing and guided mediation （调节）.
"It's good to know that someone else is going through the same thing as me and we can both help each other out," Dinah Martinez said.
10．根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺、内容完整。

Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.
________ It's life having a sign to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers. One has a place clearly in mind which can be found on a map. He can drive straight there surely without any wasted time. The other driver has no goal or map.
________ But she drives aimlessly（无目的地） around, never getting anywhere, just using up oil. Which driver do you want to be?
________ They decide what they want in life and then get there by setting goals and making plans. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren't difficult to set, and they aren't difficult to reach.
________ You are the one who must decide what to achieve and what direction you want to aim your life.
________ They are harder to forget. Also when you write your goals in your own way, you are able to make yourself realize situations that will bring you closer to your goals.

Marco Polo was from Venice, Italy. In 1271, at the age of 17, Marco went on a trip with his father and uncle to China. Today people often travel to different places around the world. But it was very hard for people from Europe to visit China then. After three and a half years, the Polos reached China in 1275.
While he was there, Marco Polo worked for Kublai Khan, the emperor of China. He was able to learn and experience many things that were new to Europeans. In his diary, he wrote, "Kublai Khan's palace is the greatest I've ever seen. The streets of the new capital, Dadu, are so straight
and so wide." Paper money also took him by surprise, since it was not yet in use in the West at that time. Homes were heated with "bla ck stones… which burn like wood." Those stones were coal, and most of the Europeans knew little about it then.
After 17 years in China, Marco and his family finally returned to Venice. After he returned home, Marco completed a book called The Travels of Marco Polo, full of facts about his wonderful experiences in China.

Do you clean your school desks every day? If not, then maybe it's about the time for you to get started. Keyboards, computer mice and telephone dials are infected （polluted）with lots of germs（细菌）, according to scientists from the University of Arizona, the US.
The study suggests that office equipment should be regularly cleaned. “Desks are in fact germs' cafeterias（自助餐厅）,” said Charles Garbage, a biologist who took part in the study. “They are breakfast bars, lunch tables and everything el se.” The desks at your school are probably not different.
The scientists found that telephones in workplaces have almost 4,000 germs/cm2, keyboards 500 and computer mice around 250. The office as a whole contains 4, 750germs/cm2.
When some people catch a cold or flu, they leave germs on the surfaces（表面） they touch during the day. Some flu germs can live on the surface for up to 72 hours, so the germs can easily move to other people. If you're ever wondered why everyone catches the germs when only one student has a cold, now you know the answer.
Experts in the US last month warned about the spread（传播）of the germs during flu seasons. They reminded Americans to cover their noses and mouths while sneezing, often wash their hands and clean their office desks.
Hand washing is the most important. Killing germs during hand washing is useful only if you clean carefully with soap and water for at least 30 seconds. You should pay close attention to cleaning your thumbs, fingertips and fingernails.

If you have difficulty sleeping at night, it's time for you to take it seriously. According to Medicine Net, bad sleeping can lead to plenty of problems such as poor concentration and mood changes. Luckily, there are some tips that can help you fall asleep quickly ad may also improve the quality （质量）of your sleep.
①________ Daily exercise will reduce your stress and help you fall into a deep sleep. Consider
doing exercise such as walking, swimming or bicycling between 5:00 pm to 7:00pm, as your body is at its finest physical condition. Then you can get a good quality of sleep at night.
②________ Eat food that is helpful to your sleep. Take healthy food in your food list, such as milk, cheese, bananas, eggs and honey. Have a light dinner and don't eat high-fat foods, as these foods take longer to digest（消化）. Keep away from chocolate and high-sugar foods before bedtime. Drink plenty of water all through the day. But remember to stop doing so by 8:00pm, or you prevent yourself from enjoying a good sleep by visiting the bathroom from time to time.
③________ Prepare yourself for sleep and avoid eating , watching TV or doing homework in your bed. Your body will learn that when you are on your bed, it's time to fall asleep. Doing other things on your bed will make it harder to fall asleep when you finish them all.
④________ If you can't fall asleep for hours in bed, then try to review what you did during the day .Try to catch as much detail（细节） as possible. But don't think too much about anything that you worried about, since that can make falling asleep more difficult. If you finish reviewing the day, but still can't fall asleep, then go back to yesterday and even the day before yesterday. Reviewing the day can make you calm.
⑤________ If you are having trouble clearing your mind , think of a relaxing and peaceful scene. For example, imagine that you're lying on the beach under the warm and pleasant sunshine, watching the waves（海浪） breaking on the rocks again and again . And it would be better if you can do deep breathing exercises while you do this.
