During all whole summer, they enjoyed a lot without a home. But soon, they realized that they needed a real home to keep out of cold and danger.The laziest little pig said he would build a straw(稻草) house because it would take less than a day. The second little pig said, “I will build my house with some sticks, I’m sure it will take only a day.”The third little pig said, “It takes time, patience(耐心) and hard work to build a house that is strong enough to stop cold and danger. I’ll build my house with bricks(砖).” The days went by. His brothers visited him, saying, “Why are you working so hard? Why don’t you come and play?”The wisest pig said, “I can’t play until my house is finished.” He spent a whole week building it.Soon, a hungry wolf came along. All three pigs rushed to their own homes for safety. But the wolf easily rushed into the straw house and the stick house. The two pigs had to run to their brother’s house. Quickly, the wolf came over, but he couldn’t rush into the strong house. So, he said angrily, “I’ll climb on the top of your house and come down the chimney.”In fact, the wisest little pig boiled a pot of water. Soon, the wolf fell right into it.

Today many teenagers are overweight, and some of them are because of their bad eating habits. Most teenagers love food with a lot of fat, oil, salt and sugar. People often call this kind of food “junk food(垃圾食品)”.But bad eating habits go beyond fast food. We find many teenagers eating unhealthily. Some don’t have breakfast before they go to school. During the day, some don’t have a right meal for lunch. In a survey at one school, scientists found that many students didn’t follow a healthy diet. They didn’t like vegetables, and they didn’t like to eat fruit. They preferred to eat food with a lot of salt, sugar or fat.Parents today also worry about their children’s diet. Some doctors give the following advice: * Teenagers shouldn’t eat too much junk food.* Teenagers shouldn’t eat food with too much salt. Salt can cause high blood pressure(高血压) in the future.*Teenagers should eat food with less fat, oil and sugar.* Teenagers need to eat some fruit and vegetables every day. Fruit and vegetables are rich in vitamins(维生素) and have little fat.* Teenagers need to drink more milk. Milk will help their bones grow.* Teenagers need to eat breakfast every day.

初中英语竞赛阅读题整合II. 阅读理解（Reading comprehension）AHayao Miyazaki was born in Tokyo on January 5, 1941. As a boy, he liked to read and draw cartoons. After graduating from university in 1963, Miyazaki joined the Toei Animation （动画⽚制作）Company. At Toei, he worked on many animated movies, like the famous Puss in Boots. In 1984, he made Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind, which was based on a comic book he wrote. Because this movie was so successful, Miyazaki was able to start his own animation company, Studio Ghibli.One of Miyazaki's most loved movies is My Neighbour Totoro, made in 1987. It is a children's movie, but many teenagers and adults like it too. The movie is about two sisters who become friends with a big, supernatural （神奇的）animal named Totoro. It is a very warm-hearted story, with many strange and interesting characters such as Cat Bus, a cat which is also a bus. Miyazaki's 2001 movie, Spirited Away, was even more popular than My Neighbour Totoro.All of Miyazaki's movies have strange but charming people and creatures. Many of his stories happen in worlds that are different from ours. However, they still show his ideas about real life. He often points out how humans hurt the natural world. He thinks people should change the ways how they live. This may be why so many people like his movies.51. What is the main idea of this passage? A. The movie My Neighbour Totoro. B.

He wants to protect the environment.BTropical cyclones （热带旋风）are called typhoons （台风）in Asia, and hurricanes （飓风）in North and South America. These storms go around like a wheel（轮⼦）turning to the left. They have wind speeds of 60 kph or more. They can be very destructive （毁灭性的）. In the United States, the Tropical Prediction Centre in Miami, Florida, looks out for hurricanes.When scientists discover a true hurricane, they give it a name. They can use either a man's or woman's name. Why should hurricanes have names? The names make it easier for people to keep up with information about a hurricane and its dangers.The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), an international weather group, decides what names will be used. The WMO makes six lists （列表）of names, using the English alphabet. Each list is used for one year. When a hurricane happens, it gets the next name on the list for that year. For example, the first hurricane of the year might have the name Abel, while the second one could be Betty. The name lists do not include （包含）names beginning with the letters O, U, X, Y, and Z, since there are few names that begin with these letters. Asian countries use a different list. This list has a few personal names, but most of the names are of flowers, animals and trees.Why should hurricans have names? A. It sounds interesting. B. The names help people get information abouta hurricane. C. The names are only for the WMO. D. It is traditional.57. _________ decides what names will be used for hurricanes. A. The Tropical Prediction Centre B. A scientist C. The WMO D. Abel58. Which name would a hurricane never have? A. Rita. B. V eronica. C. William. D. Yanni.59. The Fifth hurricane of 2010 might have the name ________. A. Diana. B. Darren. C. Eric. D. Connie.60. Asian countries name typhoons after ________. A. books and buildings B. flowers and animals C. mountains and riversD. oceans and riversCDJs (disc jockeys) are the people who play and present music on the radio, or in a nightclub. A VJ (video jockey) is a person who introduces music videos on television.VJs were first seen on television in the early 1980s when MTV went on the air. As MTV became popular and the audience for music videos increased, different kinds of music video channels started broadcasting. By the 1990s, international music video channels like Channel V in Asia and VIV A in Europe had started.The VJs for the new international stations had to be chosen carefully. Although some VJs showed mostly local content （本地内容）, other VJs presented shows for international viewers （电视观众）. These VJs, and the material （素材）they presented, needed to be popular in several different cultures.One successful international VJ in Asia is Asha Gill. She is from Malaysia, but her parents and grandparents are from India, France, and England. She speaks three languages and has fans across Asia.When asked what makes a good VJ, many successful VJs have given similar answers. To be a good VJ you need to know a lot about music, you need to be funny, and you can't be shy.61. DJs play music _________, while VJs introduce music videos _________.62. When did VJs first appear on television?63. VJs for international channels should be chosen carefully because they have to be _________.The map below shows the central part of a town and some of its important buildings. Use the map to answer questions 65—67.65. The parking garage entrance opens onto _________ Street.66. In what direction do you walk to the Convention Centre from the bank?67. The theatre is in a building between the Fifth Avenue and _________.E“It's really cool to have a dad who flies fighter jets （喷⽓式战⽃机）,” thought 11-year-old Casey as she was watching him fly overhead.Living on an Air Force base （空军基地）was not as bad as some people might think. Casey rather enjoyed being around friends who had something in common with each other. They had their own school, bowling area, and movie theatre. She especially loved it when her dad would come home each day and greet her with a new joke and tickles （搔痒）.Today was different, though. When her dad walked into the room, he looked sad for some reason. He just kissed her on the forehead and told her mum that he needed to talk to her. Casey knew something was wrong.When her mum and dad came out of the other room, mum was crying. Dad sat down and began to explain that he has been told to go to Iraq to help with the war effort. Casey was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a moment. She began to feel tears in her eyes.Soon, the day came. Her dad was leaving. It was hard for Casey to believe that she wouldn't be seeing her dad for a whole year. They depended on （依赖）him for so many things. Who would fix the broken window? Who would greet her with jokes and tickles at the end of the day? Casey began to cry more than ever.68. According to the story, one thing Casey enjoyed on the base was that she and her friends _________.69. How did Casey know that something was wrong when her dad got home?70. How long would her dad be away?AIvan Fletcher loves crazy inventions. He writes a weekly magazine column called “Un-believable Inventions”.“One of my favou rite inventions is the Butter Stick. It looks like a stick of glue, but it's butter. You rub it on the bread instead of using a knife,” he says. “Another cool invention is Duster Slippers for pets. You put these special shoes on your dog or cat. As the ani mal runs around your house, it collects dust from the floor. Very useful!” A lot of these inventions come from Japan —the home of the crazy invention.Ivan says that the British also invent a lot of crazy things. “The other day I found an invention call ed a Cat Seat Saver,” he says. “The Cat Seat Saver looks exactly like a sleeping cat — but it isn't real. You put it on your seat if you have to go to the restroom. No one will sit in your seat because they think there's a sleeping cat on it. Pretty cool!”However, does anyone buy these things? Yes. Lucy Wade from the shopping website/doc/acdfe47d31b765ce050814d7.html says that their customers are young, professional people.“They buy these small things mostly for fun,” she says. “They are usually looking for a pres ent for a friend's birthday or a silly gift for a colleague.”If you have an idea for an amazing invention, send it to Lucy atlucyw@/doc/acdfe47d31b765ce050814d7.html .Fish RadioThis useful radio is completely waterproof, so you can listento it in the shower.

When one of the stars needs to go to the bathroom, a seat-filler sits in the star's seat. (62) That way, the TV cameras won't show any empty seats. Kathy Miller talks about her night as a seat-filler.I was told to arrive at the theatre at noon, wearing my dress for the evening. There were about 200 of us seat-fillers, all very excited. We were told what we should and shouldn't do (for example, “Don't talk to the stars”), and then we waited until five o'clock. That's when the stars started arriving. Through the crowd, I saw Gwyneth Paltrow (beautiful in a blue gown), and Mel Gibson (He's a lot shorter than he looks in his movies!).The show started at six o'clock. We had to stand outside the doors. Then, when someone came out to go to the bathroom or have a cigarette, we were told to go and sit in his seat. The show was three hours long, and I only sat down five times. In the end, I was really tired. But I was happy because, during the evening, I sat behind Jim Carrey (He's very tall!) and close to Denzel Washington, Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts. It was an exciting night, but I think next year I'll watch the Oscars on TV at home like everyone else!61-62. Translate the underlined sentences into Chinese.63.

初二英语阅读理解试题答案及解析1. Dear Dr. Smith,My mom always keeps asking me, “What’s going on?” If I want to go to a concert, she asks who I will go with. I think that’s my own business（事情）. Sometimes it looks like she doesn’t trust （信任）me. It makes me very sad. How can I get her to stop?Dear Katie,M any young people have the same problem as you. If you don’t talk much with your parents,they might feel they need to ask you questions to know about your life. It seems to you that your mom is getting into your business, but I think she’s just trying to k eep a close relationship（关系）with you. In fact, some experts（专家）often tell parents to stay close to their kids by asking them about what’s going on in their life.Some parents do this better than others, of course. But, unluckily, some parents ask questions because they don’t trust their kids. So start by trying to trust your mom. She is probably just trying to stay close to you because she loves and cares about you. You can have a talk with her about it.Of course, that doesn’t make the questions less boring. If you’re tired of so many questions, tell your mom about your feelings the day before she asks. If you offer more information, conversations with your mom won’t seem like she’s just asking you too many questions!If you do this, I’m sure you can get on well with your mom.Dr. Smith【1】Katie’s problem is that___________.A．she is sad about the person at the concertB．she doesn’t like or care about her motherC．her mother always asks her lots of questionsD．her mother doesn’t want her to make new frie nds【答案】C【解析】C细节理解题。

I know I am going to win the game because I am going to be the cleverest person there.” He picked up a pack and jumped out.Two men were left留了下来, an old businessman and a young mountain climber. By this time the plane was going down fast. The businessman said, “Young man, I am old but you’re still young.

You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.Once一旦you find a dream, what do you do with it Do you ever try to make your dream real “Follow Your Heart” by Australian writer Andrew Mathews tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge.You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts想法stop you from getting your dream, the book says.In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step一步一步地and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact, many small dreams.You must also never give up your dream.There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes fromyourself. You need to decide what is the most important.

Improving EnglishSendyourquestionstotheLanguageDoctor,*************.Many students ask for advice about improving their English. There are three basic questions.※The first question is about real English. Li Hao from Hubei wrote, “I enjoy watching English films and listening to real English songs. But it takes a long time. What do you think?”This is a great way to learn English! Talk about the film or song with your friends, and guess the meaning of the new words. Just enjoy yourself!※The second question is about speaking. Sam from Suzhou wrote, “Our school has a foreign teacher. But I’m shy and can’t speak to her. What should I do?”When I visit China, lots of people in the street say, “Hello! How are you? Where are you from? Do you like China?” These are good questions to start a conversation(对话). Many people are shy when they speak English, so before you begin, take a deep breath(呼吸) and smile! Smiling always helps.※The third question is about vocabulary. Oliver from Anhui Province wrote, “I want to remember all the new words. I write them down, but I forget them quickly. What should I do?”Try to remember eight or ten words a day. Write them on pieces of paper and place them in your bedroom. Say the words when you see them, and change them every day. And when you’re shopping, how about counting the English words, or saying the English names for everything you see?( ) 36.

(1)Every year, tens of thousands of Chinese middle school students go to foreign countries for further study. The popular destinations are America, Britain, Australia, Japan and Canada. Chinese children hope a lot to go abroad to get a wider view of the world. However, life in foreign countries is a big challenge for them, because they will meet a culture shock and language problems.Amy Lee, a 15-year-old student from Shenzhen, began to study in a senior high school in Vancouver, Canada, in January. To her surprise, her teachers there never force students to study. And there isn’t much homework. Because of the different education system, students there have more free time and more space for thinking. However, as Chinese students, we must spend our time and money properly, or we won’t have an easy time. For example, some of Amy’s Chinese friends spent their whole year’s money in the first three months of the term. What’s worse, th ey didn’t pass their exams.Without doubt, studying abroad at a young age can help students learn foreign languages quickly and it can enrich their minds, but they should also know about the challenges. ‘Make sure that you are well prepared if y ou decide t o study abroad,’Amy said.( ) 1.What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?A.Many Chinese students get further study in foreign countries.B.Chinese students don’t have an easy time in foreign countries.C.Chinese students always fail their exams in foreign countries.D.There are differences between studying at home andstudying abroad.( ) 2. Amy suggests that we should _______ if we decide to study abroad.A. Watch English moviesB. have a lot of moneyC. be well preparedD. talk with foreigners( ) 3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.Life in foreign countries is a piece of cake for Chinese students.B.Amy Lee studies in Canada and she needn’t do much homework.C.It’s not easy for some of Amy’s Chi nese friends to get used to the life in Canada.D.One of the challenges for Chinese students studying abroad is the language problem.(2)These days haze（雾霾）is around us here and there. In fact，everyone has the power to change their living habits to help reduce it. Many local governments call on their people to take action to make the air cleaner.Transport is one of the biggest contributors（促成物）to haze. When，where，how，why and what you drive all affect air quality. When one drives to work for one year，he uses as mush energy as a bus rider uses in 10 years. So walk or ride your bicycle to work or school whenever possible. If it is necessary，you can use public transport instead of your car. Each person using public transport for a year instead of a car can save nearly a ton of pollutants，including CO2，from going into the atmosphere.Carpooling is another way to reduce carbon emissions（排放）.Carpooling is the sharing of car journeys so that more than one person travels in a car. It immediately reduces your car’s emissions by half.What you do inside your living space can have a big effect on the air quality outside it. You can do a lot of things inside and around your home that will help you pollute less and save some money.A large amount of our energy comes from burning coal，another contributor to haze. By cutting down your electricity use，you are cutting down on haze. So you may try to reduce your use of electricity by turning off lights，using your air conditioner wisely during the summer months，or updating（更新）some of your electrical appliances(家电) to low-energy models. For example，you can use energy-saving lamps that need less energy and last 10 times longer than common bulbs.( )4.We can infer from the passage that the writer thinks_______________.A. cars can be used only when people have toB. cars should be given up as soon as possibleC. cars must be improved to reduce air pollutionD. cars may cause the most serious pollution of all( ) 5. What does the word ‘Carpooling ’ mean in Chinese ?A. 轿车使用B. 轿车开发C. 拼车、合乘D. 分开乘车( )6. Which can be the best title for the passage？A. What are causing haze around usB. What you can do to reducehazeC. How dangerous haze is to our lifeD. How important it is toreduce haze(3)Some friends invite you over and serve you a delicious dinner. Someone lends you his car while there’s something wrong with yours. You are sick, and a friend brings you a meal and cares for you. How do you show your gratitude?Sometimes simply saying thank you is enough. At other times, it is thoughtful to say thank you in a more different way. Be sure to tell that person what you are grateful for and why you are grateful.Here are some common ways to say thank you.You can write a thank-you note. People are very busy these days. A handwritten note shows you took the time to tell someone you are grateful to him or her. Or you can call and thank the person. You would be surprised how this can make someone’s day. Another idea is to send a thank-you e- mail. This is not quite as personal, but it still shows your gratitude.There are many other ways to say thank you. To say thank you in a creative way, you can:★ Select some flowers from a shop. Write a thank-you note.★ Give the person a basket of fresh fruit or a homemade treat.★ Invite a friend to a movie, meal, snack or coffee.★ Give a gift card for a bookstore or a restaurant. That way the person can pi ck out a favourite book or eat out.★ Find out what the person likes and give something rela ted to that.★ To say a big thank you to someone, have a party for that person.As you can see, there are many ways to say thank you. Think of some ways of your own. You will feel good trying one of the ideas, and the person being thanked will feel good too. It’s a win-win situation !( )7.

He thought for a moment, looked up and said,’ Daddy, could you lend me $10?’The father was furious, ‘If you asked for the money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, go straight to your room and think about why you are so selfish!’The little boy went to his room without saying anything and shut the door. After a short while, the father calmed down, and started to think. ‘Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn’t really ask for money very often.’So he went to the litt le boy’s room.‘Sorry! Maybe I was too hard on you just now.’ said the man, ‘Here’s $10.’‘Oh, thank you Daddy!’ he said happily. Then the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy already had money, he got angry again.‘Why do you want more money since you already have some?’ the father shouted angrily.‘Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do.’ The little boy said. ‘Daddy, I have $20 now.

She now feels helpless. And all she had to depend on was her husband Meraj .Meraj loved Safiya with all his heart .He wanted to help his wife gain her confidence again.Finally, Safiya felt ready to return to her job, but how would she get there? She used to take the bus , but was now too frightened to get around the city by herself. Meraj promised that he would ride the bus with her.For two weeks, each morning they made the journey together and Meraj would take a cab back to his office. Finally, Safiya decided to try the trip herself. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday…. Each day she went on her own .It went perfectly.On Friday morning, Safiya took the bus to work as usual .As she was paying for her fare to get off the bus ,the driver said: “Lady, I surely envy you.”“Why do you say that?” she asked the driver.

Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can’t eat or use. If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside the city to a dump. Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs and other places.To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you’d never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything except the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus, which looks like black earth. It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help make them grow.( ) 16. The underlined wo rd “sewage” in the passage means _____.A. 排污B. 染色C. 洗涤D. 吸尘( ) 17.

It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying..Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of anything. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements,while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you're unhappy!Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.Legs. Your legs will move around a lot more than usual when you are nervous or telling lies.Posture . A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling unhappy, you usually don't sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult and makes you feel nervous or uncomfortable.Face. When you lie, you might put on a false face. But that expression would not last long. And your true emotions such as happiness, sadness, fear and so on will come through. ( )20. Which of the following movements tells you are nervous?A. Your legs move around a lot more than usual.B. You sit straight and hold your head up.C. You put on a false faceD.

Filming the story is also called shooting the film.It often takes at least six months. Actors and cameramen work from very early in the morning till late at night. Each scene has to be acted and reacted, filmed and refilmed, until it is just right. Sometimes the same scene may have to be acted twenty or thirty times. The film studio is like a large factory, and their door stages are very big indeed. Scenery of all kinds is made in the studio, churches，houses, castles and forests are all built of wood and cardboard. Seven hundred people work together to make one film. Some of these people are actors and actresses. The director of the film, however, is the most important person in a film studio. He decides how the scenes should be filmed and how the actors should act.Most people go to see a film because they know the film stars in it. Sometimes the film may be very boring.

Many visitors were attracted by a 3D printer.The machine looks similar to an ordinary printer and can print a‘statue’in about 90 minutes after scanning anything, including a person.The writer prints layer(层)by layer. For example, if we want to print a 30-cm-tall statue, the computer will calculate the layers and print 460 layers in total. It can also print people and clothes. You can stand for scanning for just about three minutes, and a statue will be finished about two hours. The cost for a statue of a man is about 1000yuan. The printer, which costs about 500,000yuan, is from the USA.‘We want to introduce this technology to people, and find more chances here.’said an engineer, ‘There is a company in USA that offers 3D printing services to people.

And such an idea came from four students from Zhongbei Middle School, Tianjin.“People will surely feel worried when they take a bus without coins. We just want to do something to help them,”said Wang Yongcun, 15, one of the four students.The four boys spent their whole weekend making the change bags. After that they went to see the number of the passengers at each bus stop near their school, and then chose the top six stops to put the bags.Many people think that the four boys have really done a good job. But, things didn’t go as the boys thought. Two days later, they found that the money was gone, and that even the bags were taken. It really made them sad but they would not give up. Their classmates and teachers came to help them in time. They put their pocket money in bags again. And the teachers also taught them to make better change bags. They tried their best to do it.The four boys feel very happy because they have done something good for the passengers. Their warm hearts are moving. More and more people are beginning to join in the activity. ( )30.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The idea of small change bags came from four boys.B.

But some parents are strongly against the idea. They can't see the advantages of students doing such chores (杂亊). They think that the school should provide students with a proper education, not the chance to be school cleaners.In fact, parents, schools and society play an equally important role i n developing the character of students. It is good for schools to give students such tasks，because few of the students will do them at home. Their parents want them to do homework only.In recent years, some parents will make mountains out of molehills when students are asked to do some chores in schools. Some complain about the teachers if their kids get hurt in schools; some even challenge the schools' teaching methods and management. As a result, many primary schools, especially those in big cities, do not let students join in outdoor activities during breaks, fearing that they might get hurt. This is bad for the development of students' best qualities.What the primary school in Fuzhou is doing is worth praising. Doing chores can put a sense of responsibility into students' minds and teach them the spirit of rules as well as teamwork. Also, it can make students' in-school experiences more meaningful.( )32. Some parents think that the school should provide students with_______.A. a proper educationB. a chance to be cleanersC. a chance to be teachersD. more housework( )33. The underlined phrase "make mountains out of molehills" means_______.A.愚公移山B.山穷水尽C.小题大做D.眉飞色舞( )34. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Students shouldn't do any chores in school.B. Parents require students to do some chores in school.C. Some parents think doing some chores is harmful to students.D. Doing some chores can develop students' good qualities.(12)All over the world the need for more laptops and computers increases each year. Networks have been part of our life. Probably everyone with a portable device (移动设备} has once logged on to a public WiFi network without paying for it, while they are having a coffee, on a train, in a shopping mall or at a hotel. However, is this kind of public WiFi network safe?Some networks are better protected than others because encryption (加密）methods are used. Therefore, they are safer than others. But a survey in 2015 showed that more than 950 million records were not protected, including addresses, emails, birth dales, phone numbers, passwords and so on. These open WiFi networks are really not safe, because it is very easy for hackers (黑客）to break into the operating system and get people's private information.Most smartphones and laptops, by themselves, search and connect to WiFi networks. They usually prefer a network with a connection that has been used before. Hackers' devices are able to record these searches and look like the trusted WiFi networks. When these smartphones and laptops log on to the networks which are not real, hackers can easily steal their private information.So next time, when we want to use our laptops or our smartphones in public places which offer free WiFi networks，please think it twice or take safe measures before using them. ( )35. We can learn from the passage that_•A. not all the public WiFi networks are safeB. none of the public WiFi networks is safeC. in 2015 more than 950 million records were protectedD. there is no way to protect our private information( )36. Hackers would probably get the following EXCEPT_______when we connect our laptops or smartphones to a public WiFi network.A. our birth datesB. our passwordsC. our phone numbersD. our smartphones( )37. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. Don't Use Public WiFi NetworksB. Why the Public WiFi Networks a possible DangerC. We Needn't Protect Our Private InformationD. Why Hackers Break into the Operating System(13)A passenger told an air hostess that he needed a cup of water to take his medicine when the plane just took off.

She hurried over to him with a cup of water, but he refused it.In the following hours on the flight, each time the airline hostess passed the passenger she would ask him with a smile whether he needed help or not. But the passenger never paid attention to her. When he was going to get off the plane, the passenger asked the airline hostess to hand him the passengers’brochure . She was very sad.

Well, ‘small’ means something not big, or no t important, and ‘talk’ is what people do to communicate with each other. And so we have the expression ‘small talk’, which means to talk to someone about something not important. It is also a way to start a conversation with somebody. If we are at a party, and we see a nice-looking boy or girl, we want to talk to them, don’t we?But people from different cultures might have different feelings. In English-speaking countries, it is common for people to start a conversation with somebody they don’t kno w when they are together in certain situations (情景) such as at the bus stop , on a rainy day or in a long line waiting to buy tickets. And emergencies(突发事件) make people talk —have you ever been in an elevator(电梯) when it stopped and the lights went out?‘Small talk’ is a special language. It is usually a question, and often uses a question tag. We say things like ‘You’re in my maths class, aren’t you?’ Or ‘I wish the bus would come. What about you?’. Small talk helps us pass the time happily and in the dark elevator we might talk to the person stuck (被困) there with us , then we won’t feel so scared!( )1. Animals use languages like humans.( )2. Small talk is usually a question.( )3. Small talk is also used to start a conversation.( )4. Everybody uses small talk in the same way.( )5. It’s possible to start small talk in an elevator.( )6. Sometimes small talk helps us pass the time pleasantly.Passage 2Surfers from all over the world have come to Hawaii for the International Surfing Championship.

一．阅读理解。每题2.5分，共100分。
(1)
Every year, tens of thousands of Chinese middle school students go to foreign countries for further study. The popular destinations are America, Britain, Australia, Japan and Canada. Chinese children hope a lot to go abroad to get a wider view of the world. However, life in foreign countries is a big challenge for them, because they will meet a culture shock and language problems.
Amy Lee, a 15-year-old student from Shenzhen, began to study in a senior high school in Vancouver, Canada, in January. To her surprise, her teachers there never force students to study. And there isn’t much homework. Because of the different education system, students there have more free time and more space for thinking. However, as Chinese students, we must spend our time and money properly, or we won’t have an easy time. For example, some of Amy’s Chinese friends spent their whole year’s money in the first three months of the term. What’s worse, they didn’t pass their exams.
Transport is one of the biggest contributors（促成物）to haze. When，where，how，why and what you drive all affect air quality. When one drives to work for one year，he uses as mush energy as a bus rider uses in 10 years. So walk or ride your bicycle to work or school whenever possible. If it is necessary，you can use public transport instead of your car. Each person using public transport for a year instead of a car can save nearly a ton of pollutants，including CO2，from going into the atmosphere.
( ) 1.What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?
A.Many Chinese students get further study in foreign countries.
B.Chinese students don’t have an easy time in foreign countries.
Without doubt, studying abroad at a young age can help students learn foreign languages quickly and it can enrich their minds, but they should also know about the challengesl prepared if you decide to study abroad,’Amy said.
D.One of the challenges for Chinese students studying abroad is the language problem.
(2)
These days haze（雾霾）is around us here and there. In fact，everyone has the power to change their living habits to help reduce it. Many local governments call on their people to take action to make the air cleaner.
C.Chinese students always fail their exams in foreign countries.
D.There are differences between studying at home andstudying abroad.
( ) 2. Amy suggests that we should _______ if we decide to study abroad.
A.Life in foreign countries is a piece of cake for Chinese students.
B.Amy Lee studies in Canada and she needn’t do much homework.
C.It’s not easy for some of Amy’s Chinese friends to get used to the life in Canada.
A. Watch English moviesB. have a lot of money
C. be well preparedD. talk with foreigners
