三、阅读理解：本大题共15小题，共30分。

A
Do you want to be a teacher? What characteristics make a great teacher?
Knowing the students
Great teachers always know their students’ needs. When children are crying for their parents and refusing to join the class on their first day at kindergarten（幼儿园）, a great teacher sits with them till they calm down. In middle school, when students are learning about not only subjects, but also themselves, a great teacher is patient, understanding and available to (可用于) talk with.
Loving the job
No teachers can be great without loving what they do. It’s easy to love teaching when things are going well, but teaching isn’t always easy. Teachers sometimes have their bad days. Great teachers can be patient and continue trying to reach out to each of their students. They never give up.
Being creative
Creativity can always get students’ attention. People can still remember some particular moments in their classroom though they have been away from school for many years. They remember a teacher turned a poem into a song. They remember the group activities that had more fun than exercises for testing their knowledge. Showing students something they haven’t seen before is the best way to impress them deeply.
All in all, the most important characteristic of a great teacher is the ability to bring out the best in students. Great teachers believe their students will become great people some day.

A. what a great teacher is like

In many cultures white often means something positive (积极). A white-collar job, for example, is the kind of job many people look for, working with your brain and not your hands.White represents purity. That is why doctors and nurses usually wear white uniforms. Women wear white on their wedding day. Sometimes white is used in expressions that are not good, like "whitewash". At first, "whitewash" meant to paint something with white paint to make it look better. However, it means something different today: to hide or to cover up mistakes or failures. A "white elephant" is another example. In ancient Thailand, a white elephant was regarded（看作） as a sacred (神圣的) animal, but it was very expensive to keep. The kings of those days gave a white elephant to the people they wanted to ruin (毁掉). Once they received this holy, royal animal as a gift, they were not allowed to sell or kill it. Today, a "white elephant" means something that is big, useless and unwanted. In America, when people want to get rid of (丢弃) their furniture or clothes, they often have a "white elephant sale".
31.Which of these means something bad now?
A. White-collar jobs.
B. White uniforms.
C. Whitewash.
D. White elephant sales.
32.Which of these is true about "a white-collar job"?
A. It is not easy to get.
B. It is about what to wear on wedding days.
C. People do it with hands.
D. It means working as a doctor or a nurse.
33.The kings in ancient Thailand would give a white elephant to someone he hated because ________.
A. it would bring bad luck
B. it was expensive to keep
C. it would hurt the person
D. it would ruin the personˈs house
34.If a big new theatre is built in your city, but people donˈt like it, they may say "________".
A. it is a big elephant
B. it is to whitewash
C. it is a white elephant
D. it is a white elephant sale
35.The article is mainly about ________.

四、信息匹配：每小题2分，共10分
Do you know the reason why we feel tired in the middle of a class? Maybe you would say it is because the teacherˈs class is boring. 36 Perhaps this is something you have not paid enough attention to or not yet noticed.
Purpose of sleep 37 Sleep helps our body heal, grow, and stay healthy. It also gives us energy, so we can be active all day. Doctors and health scientists say: When you close your eyes and need to rest, sleep is just the very best! This is more than advice.
Sleep time Enough sleep is important to us. How much sleep do we need? New-born babies sleep most of the time. They can sleep 20～22 hours a day. Children need 10～12 hours of sleep a day. Teenagers need 8～10 hours of sleep a day because they need lots of energy to grow into their adult bodies. Grown-ups usually need 6～8 hours of sleep to keep active. 38 That is why old people sleep less than young people.
Interesting facts Almost everyone has their dreams when they sleep, but not all of them can tell their dreams clearly when they wake up. 39 More surprisingly, some may even get up in their dreams and walk around. This is called “sleep walking”. Are you a sleepwalker? Or, is there a sleepwalker around you?
40 Itˈs not just people that love to snooze（打盹）. In fact, many animals have unusual or surprising sleeping habits. Some animals, such as bears and hedgehogs, sleep all through winter. The swift is a very fast bird that can sleep while it flies! Cute koalas sleep around 18 hours a day. Giraffes donˈt need much sleep at all. They usually sleep standing up.
A．Sleepy animals
B．Why do we need sleep?
C．Some people talk in their dreams.
D．Sleep quality
E．The older you get, the less sleep you will need.
F．However, the real reason is probably that we donˈt have enough sleep.

六、任务型阅读-简答：本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分。

Jeans are so common, and you may want to know its history and who invented them. Jeans were invented by a German named Levi Strauss. He went to the U. S. in 1847 and followed the Gold Rush to San Francisco. He carried many kinds of fabric(布料) to sell. Levi quickly became a successful businessman. The miners(矿工) in California had a problem with their pants. When they found gold or ore(矿石), they carried it in their pockets. But the metal was heavy, and the pockets ripped(撕开). In 1873, Jacob and Levi made the first jeans-tough pants. The miners loved them, and the jeans quickly became popular.
At the beginning, Levi's jeans were work pants. Many workers wore them all the time. But a gentleman wouldnˈt think of wearing jeans. Women didn't wear pants at all. But this changed when Western movies became popular. All the cowboys were in jeans. People thought the cowboys looked cool. But jeans still weren't proper for places like schools and offices. Back in the U. S., fashions changed. Movie stars wore jeans in their films. Teenagers everywhere loved them.Some schools banned(禁止) jeans because of their "rebel"(叛逆) image. But casual clothing including jeans, became popular for more and more occasions. Eventually, jeans were so common that it became okay for anyone to wear them. You can even find pictures of the president wearing jeans.
Today, all kinds of people around the world wear jeans. People wear them everywhere. Jeans are popular today for the same reasons they were popular when Levi Strauss first made them.
They look good, they last long, and they are comfortable. That's probably why you own a pair or two, or seven, yourself.
