He became worried about the dirty environment and decided not to go to work by bike any more. Instead, he began to run to work and pick up the rubbish at the same time.To his joy,more and more people followed him andsoon plogging became popular.Many people choose plogging instead of just jogging because they think plogging is a good way to help clean up the earth.Sometimes rubbish is difficult to collect because it may scatter all around. But if the runners pick up the rubbish on the way, it is quite different.After all,many hands make light work.Another reason is that plogging burns more calories(卡路里).According to a research,logging for10 minutes burns 48 calories, while usual jogging for 10 minutes burns about 39 calories. Everyone on the earth should play a part in cleaning it up!It's time for us to take action together. So ready? Let s plog tomorrow!()6.The underlined(划线的)word"scatter"in the passage means“____”in Chinese.C.散落A.爆炸B.集中()7.

Immanuel Nobel invented landmine and made a lot ofmoney from the government during the Crimean War, but went bankrupt soon after. Then, the family returned to Sweden in 1859, where Alfred began his own study of explosives in his father’s lab. He had never been to school or universitybut had taught himself, and by the time he was twenty, he became a skillfulchemist and excellent linguist, speaking Swedish, Russian, German, French and English. He built up over 80 companies in 20 different countries. He was always searching for a meaning to life. He spent much time and money working on howto end the wars, and the peace between nations, until his death in Italy in 1896.His famous last will, in which he left money to provide prizes for outstandingwork in physics, chemistry, physiology, medicine, literature and peace, is a memorial to his interests and ideas.

The program works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money outof a bank. You’ll just have t o look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.The eye-recognition (眼睛识别) program has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.Eye-recognition is a course of recognizing iris (虹膜), which includes the following steps. First, a kind of machine needs to collect different examples of one’s iris from his eyes and store them. Second, when this person goes to the bank to take out money, this machine will have iris feature extraction (采集). Then, this machine will compare the examples kept in it with iris feature extraction. Once the examples and the feature extraction are the same, this person will be identified (识别), and he will take out the money from the bank successfully.However, scientists are also working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We have already had machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger. Eye-recognition is better tha n other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, and don’t get dirty like hands or fingers, and even twins have different eyes. So the eye-recognition program can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. However, some other programs may only be 51% correct now. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.In the future your computer will be looking at you in the eye. So smile!()16.How does the eye-recognition program work?A.You look at the machine.B.You say your name.C.You type in your number.D.You show your ID card.()17.Which recognition program has been already tested in shops and banks according to the passage?A.Remembering smells.B.Remembering fingerprints.C.Remembering the shape of faces.D.Remembering eyes.()18.Put the sentences in the right order according to the passage.a. The man will take out the money from the bank successfully.b. This machine will compare the examples kept in it with iris feature extraction.c. A kind of machine needs to collect different examples of one’s iris from his eyes and store them.d. Once the examples and the feature extraction are the same, this person will beidentified.e. When this person goes to the bank to take out money, this machine will have irisfeature extraction.A.c-d-b-a-e B.b-d-c-a-e C.c-e-b-d-a D.b-e-d-c-a()19.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The eye-recognition program can be up to 51% correct.B.In Britain, 91% of people said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.

Since then, Chinese buyers have almost stopped buying soybeans from the United States and American soybean farmers are now getting worried.Not everyone likes the garlic tariffs in the U.S. Last July Christopher expressed his support on Trump's policy(政策).

According to the Guinness World Records, the Xinhua Dictionary, published by the Commercial Press in China, is the world’s most popular dictionary and thebest-selling book.In 1950, Chinese language experts(专家) and scholars, Wei Jiangong and Ye Shengtao, started to edit(编辑) the Xinhua Dictionary. There was a lot of discussion, research and paper work. Some hand scripts (稿件) were checked again and again like compositions, People’s Daily reported. Many people’s hard work and interesting stories went into making the dictionary.In 1953, the first Xinhua Dictionary was published. Today, 567 million copies of the dictionary have been sold worldwide.However, revisions (修订) to the dictionary continue to be made. According to Y u Guilin from Commercial Press, editors(编辑) usually summarize (总结) the meaning of words again while revising. If the example sentences are out of date, editors need to have experiences and make new examples. “To give a correct explanation of the word ‘焗油(deep condition)’ , one editor went to a barber shop (理发店) to experience it for himself,” Yu told the Beijing Times. So far, the Xinhua Dictionary has been revised 11 times.To keep up with the times, some popular and widely used internet words are also added to the dictionary. For example, in the 11th edition, the phrases “晒工资(show off salary)” and “晒照片(show off pictures)” were included.All these efforts create the “National Dictionary” of China. The Xinhua Dictionary is not only a useful tool for generations of Chinese people. It also helps foreigners who are learning the Chinese language and culture.( )1.

However, a new social media craze (热潮)called the “Falling Stars Challenge” has turned falling into something fun to do.The craze began in Russia. It was most popular among young people. They posted pictures of themselves lying face down as though(好像)they had just fallen over. Some items like handbags, decorations and money were spread out on the ground around them in the photos. They shared these photos on the Internet to flaunt their wealth.The craze soon became popular around the world. In China, however, it is taking on a new meaning. People are using it to flaunt their hobbies and talents. The items in their pictures show what they do for a living and what they have achieved in their work.▲ For example, students fall down onto textbooks and test papers. Police officers fall in front of their police cars with handcuffs in their hands. Famous people are taking on the challenge, too. Writer Liu Tong took a fall with dozens of copies of his new book.More than 1.08 million Chinese have taken on this challenge on Sina Weibo. Their pictures have been viewed more than 2.22 billion times. Internet users also discuss these photos. Most of them speak highly of the craze. One Sina Weibo user wrote, “This shows the positive energy of fighting and workin g hard. Cheer for these young people!” However, some also think the craze is just another example of a successful Internet meme(网络爆红). They think people are just imitating(模仿)others. What do you think of the challenge? Will you try it?( )6. Which of the following is NOT true about the Falling Stars Challenge?A. It came from Russia.B. Young people like it best.C.

What’s the best title for this passage?A. How to post pictures onlineB. Falling for a new crazeC. Taking on challenges bravelyD. To show the positive energyCWhen migrants(移民)arrive in the US, they face a world that canbe confusing in many ways. They need to learn to live in a different environment. Some laws and rules are written down. They can learn about them before they arrive. But there are lots of "unwritten rules," too. Unwritten rules are behaviors that no one talks about, but that most people understand.Here is a list of five important issues any new arrival to the U.S. should know about.Be "on time." In some cultures, time is not a big issue. If you tell your friend to meet you at 2 p.m. and you arrive at 2:45 p.m., there is no problem. In the U.S., people feel that being on time is a sign of respect. If you are late by more than a few minutes, people will think you do not care. They will feel you are wasting their time. They will take your lateness as an insult.Be sure you always "tip." In many countries, after you eat at a restaurant, you only pay the amount shown on the bill. But, in the U.S., people who work in restaurants and bars often earn a low hourly wage. So, they try to provide excellent service, hoping the customer will give them a "tip," meaning a little extra. People in the U.S. tip between 15 percent and 20 percent of the bill. You also give tips to taxi drivers, hotel employees and the people who cut your hair.Be careful what you say. Any place you go there will be some things that are proper to talk about and some things that are not. Supposing that people have the same beliefs as you is a bad idea. In the past decade, people in the U.S. have become more open about discussing strong political and religious views. But it is still best to listen to people share their opinions first and then decide about sharing your own. Also, there are several topics you should avoid asking questions about: how much money a person makes and if they are married. But if a person offers this information, then there is no problem.Be polite for the situation. People in the U.S. define being polite in very special ways. For example, waiting in line involves a strong set of rules in this country. You must wait until the people in front of you have done what they are waiting to do. When going through a door, the person behind you expects you to hold the door for them. Also, it is common for people you do not know to say hello to you when passing you. But this does not always mean they are inviting you to stop and talk for a long time. Many times the person is just being friendly. If you don't say hello back to them they may think you are being unfriendly.( )11. The passage talks about several issues except ______.A. timeB. personal spaceC. giving tipD. education( )12. What's the meaning of the word confusing in paragraph 1?A. 轻而易举的B. 引人发笑的C. 令人疑惑的D. 令人尴尬的( )13. If you are late in the U. S., the one you meet________.A. will insult youB. will think you don't respect him/herC. will think it's okayD. will ask you for some tip( )14. How many examples are shown on "being polite"?A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.( )15. Which of the following is TRUE in the US?A. It's not polite to ask a person if he/she is married.B. You'd better think that people have the same beliefs as you.C. It's not allowed to discuss about religious views.D. People usually tip 80 dollars if their bill is 80 dollars.DA young girl named Malala,born in 1997 in the northwest of Pakistan,is famous for supporting children and women to get education.In 2012,she was shot and seriously injured when she returned home on the school bus.Luckily,she was sent to the hospital in time and saved.After that,she went back to school and began to strive(奋斗)for children and women to receive education.On October 10,2014,the Nobel Prize for peace was awarded(授予)to Malala.She became the youngest winner in the history of Nobel Prize.However,Malala missed the most important event of being announced to be the winner of the prize.At the very moment,she was taking chemistry lessons in the classroom!

But when we talk about day and night, we are using“day”to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning(旋转)of the earth. At the equator (赤道)day and night are sometimes the same length(长度). They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o’clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted(倾斜)toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere(半球)gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.1.When the Western Hemisphere is having day, the Eastern Hemisphere is having ________.A. both day and nightB. dayC. neither day nor nightD. night2.A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by ________ of the earth.A. the pushingB. the pullingC. the spinningD. the passing3.At the equator day is as long as night ________.A. sometimesB. neverC. usuallyD. always4.When the North Pole is tilted toward the sun, the Northern Hemisphere gets ________ sunlight.A. lessB. moreC. allD. no5.When it is winter in China, ________.A. the USA is tilted toward the sunB. the South Pole is tilted away from the sunC. the North Pole is tilted toward the sunD. the North Pole is tilted away from the sun(B)In ancient China, the State of Wu made an attack on the State of Yue. The king of Wu wasbadly hurt and soon died. His son Fu Chai became the new king. Fu was very sad and angry and he decided to fight back for his father’s death. He trained his army strictly until it was very strong. Three years later, he led his army against the State of Yue and caught its king Gou Jian, who was taken to the State of Wu.Gou Jian was put into a small black stone house which was full of terrible smell and was made to raise(饲养) horses. Gou worked hard and tried to keep himself quiet, but he never forgot his pain. Many years later, he was set free. Gou secretly trained his army after he went back to his own state. In order to make himself strong-minded he slept on firewood and ate a gall bladder before having dinner and going to bed every night. After a few years, his country became strong once more. Then Gou took hold of a golden chance to fight against Wu and won the war in the end.If one voluntarily(自愿) works very hard and voluntarily stands up to pains and difficulties in order to succeed, we might call him a “Gou Jian”, and his story, a “Gou Jian’s story”.6 ._________ was seriously hurt and died.A.

Well, to tell you the truth,it is really an eye-opening experience to study here.In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn’t know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.When I first studied English, I was told to say,”I am fine” when people say “How are you?”But in the US, I found that people say, “I am good” or “I’m tired”.One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up?”It made me confused . I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say.Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures.To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan(晒黑). However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter”.I was also surprised by how hardworking US students are.In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that’s it. But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot of for the public and plays sports or music.The kids here are so talented, I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.11. According to the writer, textbook English is ________ everyday English.A. quite different fromB. the same asC. more difficult thanD. easier than12.

But have you ever heard of energy-saving(节能) policemen ?A group of 22 of these new policemen went to work last week in Beijing. They go around the city to see the use of energy in hotels, office buildings, shopping centers and onther public places. One of their aims is to make sure that these sites have set their air conditioning(空调) no cooler than 26℃.They also set up a special phone line so that people can tell them which buildings fail to follow the rule.“If everyone sets their air conditioning at 26 ℃, Beijing will save 400 million kilowatt-hours of electricity in one summer. That’s one-third of all the usage of the city in the season,” said a TV advertisement.Other Chinese cities, like Wuhan in Hubei Province and Yangzhou in Jiangsu Province, are going to follow Beijing’s steps in setting up a similar police team.As one of the fastest developing countries, China is using a lot of energy. This has a great effect on the country’s environment and limited energy.From 1986 to 2005, the country experienced 20 warm winters continuously. Numbers show that Chinese cities have to spend billion of yuan solving(解决) environmental problems every year.At the beginning of this month, China made its first action plan to fight pollution. It aims to reduce energy usage by 20%and increase renewable energy up to 10%from 7%by 2010.To introduce the public to a green life, last week Beijing held a show on energy-saving technology and productions. Environment-friendly machines, such as a vending machine that helps colllect used bottles, have attracted lots of attention.“We want to tell people that there are certain ways to protect the environment. Each of us can find effective ways to do it in our daily lives,” said Liu Qianguang, an environmental engineer in Beijing.16.

By the time we got home and he had a quick dinner and shower, it was 10:30-an hour and a half later than a child who gets up at 6:30 should be going to bed. We love baseball. My son is having fun, getting exercise, and learning patience, teamwork and sports spirit. But the truth is that the game also influences his sleep.As parents, we want good things for our children. We want them to be healthyboth in body and in mind. To this end , we look for ways to help our kids grow and develop. We help them with their homework. We sign them up for dance, soccer and baseball. We encourage our kids to take honors courses(培优课程)or to have after-school jobs. And we praise them for hard-earned success and achievements.However, the irony is that all of these activities and responsibilities that we are giving our children to make their lives colorful could be badly influencing their health and taking happiness away. Activities, responsibilities, and goals are good. But if we want our kids to realize their full physical, learning and social ability, sleep is important. We have to start taking sleep seriously.Parents make bedtime routines and carry out(执行)strict rules about nighttime. But in fact, these measures(措施)aren't enough because getting our kids, enough sleep isn't just about carrying out stricter bedtime. It actually requires more than that. In order to ensure our kids get the sleep they need, bout parents and schools should make an effort.( )11.

Advice on how to sleep well.B. Ways of changing kids’ education.C. The importance of sleeping well.D. Measures parents and schools should takeDHave you ever heard the phrase “You never get a second chance to make a first impression (印象)?”It may sound like an unusual piece of advice, but it is true --- thefirst impression someone has of you when meeting you for the first time will probably influence how that person treats you or reacts to you in the future.What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create that first impression in about three seconds. When you meet someone for the first time, by the time you have stated you name or shaken hands, the other person has already formed an opinion about the kind of person you are.So how do you make a good first impression? All things grown-ups tell you --- such as being polite, and being well-dressed --- are very important. However, the most important tool for making a good first impression is your face. Smiling, being responsive, and looking like you are happy will almost always leave a positive ( 积极的) impression on people, especially those who do not know you. Most people, generally speaking, are ready to smile back when they are smiled at. Furthermore, smiling and being in a positive mood helps you to know and get a better understanding of new things. This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people you do not know and be more creative and able to solve problems more quickly. So if you ever need a reason to be happy, think about the wonderful people you might meet --- and impress --- with a cheerful smile.()16.What does the underlined word “react”in Paragraph 1 probably mean in Chinese?A. 回应B. 道歉C. 报告D. 建议()17.Which paragraph shows how soon others form opinions on you?A.
