In which film aren’t there any Chinese actors?A. Mr. SixB. The GhoulsC. Detective China TownD. The Abominable BrideBWe are always using body language in our daily life. When we have a conversation with someone, we may be usingmore body language than words. However, the same body language may mean different things in different countries.That's why people sometimes do not understand each other correctly. Pointing to one part of the body can mean differently in different cultures. For example, in the USA people point to their heads when they think someone is clever. However, in Europe it means ‘He or she is stupid or something is wrong with his or her head'. In our Chinese culture, nodding(点头) our head up and down means ‘yes'and shaking our head from side to side means ‘no'. However, in parts of India, Greece and Turkey, it means just the opposite. In England or the USA, when you raise yourhand and make a circle with the thumb and the second finger, it means ‘You're all right or Everything is OK'. However,if we do this in France or Belgium, it means ‘You're worth zero'. In Greece or Turkey, we should not make this gesture(手势). Or we are thought to be very rude.The meaning of gestures can also change over time. In the 1960s, the V sign meant ‘peace'. However, during WorldWar II, it meant ‘victory'. In Greece, it is a very insulting(污辱性) sign.Though the meaning of body language is different, there are some expressions having the same meaning throughoutthe world, such as smiling and crying.49. In England, if people point to their heads it means they think someone is ________.A. cleverB. stupidC. headacheD. angry50. In India, if one nods his head up and down, it means he ________.A. doesn't agreeB. agreeC. is happyD. is sad51. In France, if you raise your hand and make a circle with the thumb and the second finger, it means ________.A. you are cleverB. everything is OKC. it is trueD. you are worth nothingCThe size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other parts of the face. Other parts of the face change shape as we get older, but ears do not change their shape. They only change in size.Reading people’s character from their ears is an old science. In very old times people thought that a person with bigears had a good and generous character. They thought that a person with pale (nearly white), small ears was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ear showed whether a person was musical or not. Today, too, many people believe that the size and the shape of the ear help you know if a person is musical.Ears are all different, and each characteristic has a meaning. Next time when you look at a person, see if his ears are large or small. Look at the lobes(the lowest part of the ear). Are they attached(连着) to the face? Ears that are always red mean a person may easily get angry, or he/she just has high blood pressure(高血压). Ears that are always cold and pale mean a person has a nervous character. And a big inside hole of the ear means a person is musical.52. In the old times people might ask for help from a person with ________.A. red earsB. big earsC. small earsD. pale ears53. The passage is mainly about ________.A. the size of our earsB. musical earsC. ears which related to charactersD. our faces and ears54. We can guess Beethoven may have ________.A. pale earsB. white earsC. small earsD. ears with a big inside hole55. If you are often late for school, you may find the ears of your teacher ________.A. get biggerB. get smallerC. get colderD. get redder五、词汇(每小题1分, 共15分)--I don't think the actors play very well. However, the story ________ is really fun.57. --Mr. Black, I worry about the exam so much. What can I do?--Don't worry. Before handing in your test paper, remember to look ________ your answers as carefully as possible.58. It's important to brush your teeth at ________ twice a day.59. ________, they passed the exams and went to their favorite high school.60.

So he went to a medical school in Virginia, the USA. But when he was there, he did things in different ways. For example, he didn't like the doctors' white coats. He liked wearing shirts with flowers on them when he visited his patients(病人)，and he tried to make them laugh. The doctors at the medical school didn't like Adams very much because he was too different.Adams believed that people in hospital need more than just medicine. He saw unhappy and lonely people, and he tried to help them not just as patients, but as people, too. He spent a lot of time with children in hospital, and often put a special red nose on his face to look like a clown and to make the children laugh.When he finished medical school and became a doctor, Adams opened his own hospital called "The Gesundheit Institute", together with some other doctors. They wanted it to be a place in a different way of working with patients.Hunter Adams became famous during the 1980s, and in 1998, Universal Pictures made a film about his life.

Our once lively house became quiet and lonely. I missed and worried him so much that I started sending him messages on the phone, mainly to say hello or to give him a word of warning.One of my messages says, "So you told me you lost your wallet. If you are always careless, one day you'll wake up and find yourself lost."I did get Eric's messages, but most of them were about money. I was a bit angry.They were not different from the notes he used to leave on the white board when he was at home."I bought a new pair of shoes. They cost me $90. Please help!""Money is running short because I've bought some books for my research paper. Help me please!"Recently, however, Eric begins to send me all kinds of articles (文章). Some are funny, some are touching and some make me think. He knows I haven't got many things to do in my free time. He says they will help me understand young men better and keep up with the times.I read the articles slowly, like a careful student, with mixed feelings as well- my kid, who followed me around not long ago, has now become my teacher!So I write back, "I've read all those articles, I'll take them as a loving son's hopes towards his mother. He must be thinking that his mother is still young enough to accept new things. That makesme feel proud. We parents can't learn quickly and change in both body and mind. Thank you, my son."In this way we share ideas, with a gentle and beautiful language we seldom use. Every time I read those messages, I feel warm.（1）From the underlined sentence, we can infer (推断) that the son often wrote about ____________ in the past.A. studyB. hobbiesC. moneyD. future（2）The following EXCEPT ____________ are the reasons (原因) why Eric sends his mother all kinds of articles.A. giving his mother some things to doB. asking his mother for some more moneyC. helping his mother keep up with the timesD. helping his mother understand young men better（3）The writer's feelings about her son after leaving for university can be described as ____________.A. proud →angry →worriedB. proud →worried →angryC. angry →worried →pr oudD. worried-→angry →proud（4）Which part of a magazine may the article come from?A. Life.B. Health.C. Sports.D. Technology.13.阅读理解For thousands of years, humans(人) have explored (探索) the Earth. Nowadays, we are exploringspace. Astronomers (天文学家) are the modern-day explorers. Now, many astronomers are looking for new planets and new places for humans to live in the future. But where do astronomers start exploring?First of all, astronomers look for a star. That's because our own Earth moves around a star— the Sun. More importantly, it is neither too far from nor too near to the Sun for heat and light. So when astronomers have found the star, they look at the planets around it. In recent years, astronomers have found nearly 400 new planets with stars. However, many of these planets are either too near to the star or too far away.However, if the planet is in a good place, astronomers look for three key things: water, air and rock (岩石). Water is important because all life needs water. Humans can drink it and they can also grow plants with water. And plants produce air for humans to breathe and food to eat. Rock on a planet is also important. That's because there is often water under the rock.After many years of exploring, astronomers have found a planet like the Earth. It's Gliese 581g and it's near a star. The astronomers think it has water and rock and the temperature is between -31°C and -12°C. That's cold, but not colder than Antarctica or the Arctic Circle, for example, Gliese 581g is bigger than the Earth. A year on Gliese 581g is only 37 Earth days, not 365 Earth days. But astronomers do not think these are big differences and some of them think Gliese 581g will be a new Earth. However, Gliese 581g is twenty light years from the Earth.（1）How do astronomers discover a new planet for humans to live on? Choose the right order.a. Astronomers look for three key things.b. Astronomers look for and find a right star.c. Astronomers look at the planets around the star.A. a-b-c.B. b-a-c.C. b-c-a.D. c-a-b.（2）According to paragraph 3, which of the following things is the most important?A. Water.B. Air.C. Rock.D. Food.（3）What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 4 refer to?A. the EarthB. Gliese 581gC. the SunD. Gliese（4）What's the main idea of the text?A. Gliese 581g is already a new Earth.B. There are some planets like our Earth.C. Water, air and rock are important.D. Astronomers are looking for a new Earth.答案：10.【答案】（1）C（2）D（3）B【考点】日常生活类，说明文【解析】【分析】文章大意：本文主要介绍了四个动画工作室，包括他们的位置、基本情况以及代表的动画电影等信息。

We would spend all day watching the birds.Now my family live in the city. Last Sunday, my daughter asked me to take her to see the river I was always talking about. "I want to go fishing there so much with you and Grandma,” she said.When we went to the river, we only saw a factory and a mountain of waste.

Her parent, the Mattel Company, said that 90% of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least oneBarbie at home.However,Barbie is facing some trouble at present.There are many similar dolls on the market in competition with her. Another doll named Bratz, forexample, came to life thirteen years ago. She looks more like today's pop stars with heavy makeup(浓妆) and miniskirts. And her company offers more kinds ofclothes too.It seems that Barbie has lost her magic amongolder girls. "For younger girls, playing with a Barbie ismuch fun. But when you get older, you want somethingsmarter and more modern, "says Vera Shepherd, ashop assistant in a New York toy store.It is a good news that in the international market,Barbie is still No. 1. Although Mattel is selling fewerBarbies in the United States these years, sales in other countries are still going up. In January 2009，Mattel opened its first Barbie store in Shanghai, where girlscan shop, eat, drink or even become fashion designersfor their own Barbies.Mattel is planning big celebrations for Barbie's53rd birthday. Fashion designers from all over theworld have been called to make new dresses for Barbie.How long will Barbie stay popular in the world of toy dolls?

When the coach started pitching, hitting became 1 for me. I missed every single pitch. From the side, I heard my teammate Emily laughing at me. My face got hot and my throat felt like it had a softball stuck in. At that moment, I was starting to 2 playing softball.The next afternoon, when Mum said it was time to play the game, I told her I was 3 . She allowed me to lie down for a while. So I went to my room and 4 myself in bed. This was difficult for me because I was fine.Soon Mum came in and said, "Time to go!" She didn't even ask if I felt 5 . I imagined Emily laughing from the sideline, and 6 I really did feel sick to my stomach. I began crying loudly. Still, Mum pulled my team T-shirt over my head. She said, "You have to play for the rest of the season, and only after that we can talk about 7 you′ll continue next year." She added that practice was what I needed, not giving up. She promised to practice with me.I got two hits that afternoon, and Emily didn't make a 8 .

But sleeping can also be dangerous because other animals may hurt those who are sleeping. This leads to many different ways of sleeping that help them stay safe. Some of these ways may surprise you!Almost all bats sleep upside down. They hang from a branch of a t ree or the ceiling of a cave. Up high, bats are safe from most other animals. If they are in danger, they just fly away.A dolphin sleeps with just half its brain at a time. It must stay awake to breathe and to watch for danger. Dolphin mothers and babies can go without sleep for as long as two months to stay safe.Some ducks sleep with just half their brains, too. These ducks often sleep in a line. The ducks at both ends help to keep the group safe. They keep one eye open to watch for danger. The ducksin the middle sleep deeply with both eyes closed.Seals breathe air, but that doesn’t stop some of them from sleeping underwater. They hold their breath and dive deep to sleep for up to twenty minutes at a time. Sleeping deep underwater helps these seals stay safe from animals that hunt them near the surface.Horses often sleep standing up. Their legs lock in place so they don’t fall over. If a horse is lying down, it needs a long time to get up. A horse can run from danger more quickly if it is already standing.A flamingo can sleep while standing on one leg. The standing leg locks so it stays straight. The other leg remains close to the flamingo’s body. Its head rests on its back. A flamingo lives (and sleeps) near many other birds to stay safe.Some seabirds can sleep while they fly. These large birds spend most of their lives over the ocean. They are in danger on the water, but they are safe in the air. They fly for many hours without flapping（拍打）their wings. Sometimes they sleep while they are flying.Would you like to sleep how they sleep?1. The animals that sleep with half their brains are _______.A. ducks and sealsB. dolphins and ducksC. bats and dolphinsD. flamingos and seabirds2. Horses often stand up when they sleep because _______.A. they can run from danger quicklyB. they are afraid of falling overC. this helps them to sleep deeplyD. it takes them a long time to go to sleep3. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. How animals sleepB. Sleep to stay healthyC. Sleep as animals doD. What sleeping animals are likeBLizzie's diary from Antarctica(南极洲)Day 3:Tuesday December 2We planned to go to Rothera that morning. We'd be staying there for the next two weeks. Because Antarctica is the windiest place on earth，sometimes you can't fly at all.We had a nervous wait over breakfast to find out if we'd be leaving that day. People have to stay in Stanley for weeks while the pilots wait for good weather.It turned clear at 9:30 and we took off at 10:30 on a little red plane called a Dash-7. But even when we were in the air，there was still a chance we wouldn't be able to fly the whole day.Day 4:Wednesday December 3After waking up in the Antarctic for the first time today I can understand why everybody who comes here falls in love with the place. It is really beautiful.We're staying at Rothera Survey base with mountains of ice all around. It's about minus 2℃today, which for me is very cold, but the regulars(常客)here are often seen walking around in T-shirts!Day 5:Thursday December 4I woke up to another beautiful sunny day here in the Antarctic. I'm told it's a bit colder today，about minus 5℃，but it's not very windy so it feels warmer. Those of us who are new to the base have to do a special training course before we're allowed to go off base to other stations or to go snowboarding over the nearby hill.Day 7:Saturday December 6Not a cloud in the sky and it's warm enough to sit outside(in a jacket).The most amazing thing about this place is how the scenery(风景)changes every day. At first I thought I was going mad. I'd step outside in the morning and think，"I'm sure that big mountain of ice wasn't there yesterday." It's because the sea ice is always moving一slowly thankfully!4. Lizzie sat outside wearing a jacket on .A. TuesdayB. WednesdayC. ThursdayD. Saturday5. What could stop Lizzie from leaving Stanley for Rothera?A. Strong winds.B. Thick clouds.C. Mountains of ice.D. Low temperatures.6. How did Lizzie feel during her stay in the Antarctic?A. Afraid.B. Nervous.C. Amazed.D. Bored.7. What impressed Lizzie most about Rothera was that .A. people walked around in T-shirtsB. there was a special training courseC. the weather was sometimes warmD. the scenery changed every dayCNowadays more and more children seem to get lost in a "sea of digital(数字) technology". As they use digital technology too much, they are losing their ability to do simple things. They can't make toys themselves with hands or help Mum cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with others."I have talked with a number of teachers. They care about the increasing numbers of young pupils who can play with computers or smart phones, but have few or no skills to make things." said a teacher, Colin Kinney. "Many pupils can't communicate with other pupils but their parents talk proudly of their ability to use a computer or a smart phone."Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and quietly play on a tablet (平板电脑)on weekends and fter scriool. How can a child grow up to be a very good artist if he doesn't learn how to use a paintbrush and develop his painting skill? How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older if he doesn't learn to communicate with others at a young age?Digital technology can be used for good or bad. We can use a stone to either break a window or build a house. We shouldn′t blame the children. We should help them make right choices. It is certainly necessary for children to know how to use digital technology in today's world, but whatis more important, we should encourage them to develop social abilities which will do them good when they grow up.8. What's the worst problem that is mentioned in the first paragraph?A. Children can't make things themselves.B. Children make too many friends online.C. Children don't want to communicate with others.D. Children don't like helping Mum cook meals at home.9. According to Colin Kinney, which of the following is TRUE?A. Teachers don't notice that young pupils have few skills to make things.B. Many parents are very happy that their kids can use digital technology.C. Many teachers don't care if young pupils can play computers or tablets.D. Some parents are worried that their kids use digital technology too much.10. What do many young children choose to do on weekends and after school?A. To play on a tablet indoors.B. To paint with their paintbrushes.C. To play with other children.D. To make friends with other children.11. What does the underlined word "blame" mean in Chinese?A.表扬B.原谅C.评价D.责怪12. What does the writer mainly want to tell us?A. It's very important for children to have social skills.B. It's very helpful for children to do some housework.C. It's necessary for parents to learn to use digital technology.D. It's difficult for teachers to make right choices for their pupils.四、词汇检测(10分)1. His last public concert will be on in Shanghai in a (几个)of months.2. He has much (经验)as an engineer.3.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) （5分）The Mariana Trench (马里亚纳海沟) -- the deepest part of the world’soceans -- extends about 11 kilometers down in a farway part of the PacificOcean. But if you thought the trench could hide from plastic waste, youwould be wrong.A recent study showed that a plastic bag, found at a depth of more than10 kilometers in the trench, is now the deepest known piece of plastic waste.Scientists found it by looking through a collection of photos and videos taken from 5,010 dives over the past 30 years.Plastic can enter the ocean directly. It can be brought into the sea from a beach by tides(潮汐) or be thrown into the sea by people on ships. Of the rubbish shown in the photos and videos, plastic was the most often seen waste, and plastic bags in particular made up the greatest source of plastic waste.While the Mariana Trench may seem like a dark, lifeless deep hole, it is home to more lives than you might think such as coral and jellyfish. Many photos have shown some of these sea animals being caught in the plastic waste.The new study is just one among many showing that plastic pollution has become worldwide. What’s worse, it may take the waste hundreds of years or more to break down once it is in the wild.The ocean clearly contains much more plastic waste than a single plastic bag, and the recent study shows once again the deep influence humans can have on the planet.80.Where did scientists find the plastic bag, according to the recent study mentioned in the passage?81. How did scientsits find the plastic bag?82. What kind of waste can be seen most often in the ocean according to the photos and videos?83. How long does it take plastic waste to break down in the wild?84. What can you learn from the recent study mentioned in the passage?X．Writing (作文)（共10分）85.

It is digital and virtual (虚拟的); people can’t carry it around in their pockets or keep it in a bank.Although it has many differences from traditional money, there are places around the world that are starting to accept bitcoins to pay for things. Some restaurants and shops in New York and San Francisco accept bitcoins, and so does WordPress, a blog website. A man in Alberta is offering to sell his house for bitcoins instead of Canadian dollars.Bitcoin has been around for only a few years but it is becoming more and more popular today. One reason is that banks and governments around the world that use dollars, euros and other forms of traditional money are having problems with their lending and spending.The value of bitcoins got a boost (增加) in March when countries in Europe that use the euro had to “bail” out a country called Cyprus. To get the bailout (紧急援助), Cyprus had to agree to make changes to its banks. The bailout deal included forcing people with deposits (存款) in those banks to give up some of their money.The situation in Cyprus made people around the world nervous, because they don’t want to lose the money they have in the bank.Bitcoin isn’t distributed by a central bank, or stored in banks at all. The currency is virtually stored by computers solving difficult math problems, and bitcoins are then traded from one person to another.There are about 11 million bitcoins in circulation, and even with more bitcoins expected to be stored in the future, there is a limited supply. As with any rare product, such as gold, that is actually mined from the ground, the more people want it, the higher the price goes.Last autumn, a bitcoin could be purchased for around $10 (U.S.), but the value rose to more than $200 in April. It didn’t stay that high, though, dropping back to around $80 before beginning to climb again. Each bitcoin is now worth more than $100 once again.Another reason for the recent popularity of the bitcoin is thought to be the purchase of bitcoins by a pair of well-known American brothers. The Winklevoss twins are perhaps best known for suing Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg after claiming he stole their idea for the social networking website.1.Bitcoin is not real traditional money, is it ?________________________________________________________2.What places around the world now accept bitcoins to pay for things?________________________________________________________3.Why has bitcoin gained popularity just through a few years?________________________________________________________4.How much money should you pay if you want to purchase 10 bitcoins now?________________________________________________________5.What has caused the increase in value of bitcoins these years?________________________________________________________6.What kind of money would you prefer to use, bitcoin or real traditional money?

Below teens has picked out scientific explanations for three mistakes the people often make about eyes. Let’s take a look.Can eating carrots improve your eyesight?Carro ts are rich in Vitamin A, which is essential for our eyes’ general health.
