Little Pear is a 5-year-old naughty boy living in a Chinese village, and each short chapter brings a new adventure in his family's life. The series offers children a window into a different world, described in language perfectly fit for a young child's sense of curiosity, excitement, and danger.We're Going on a Bear Hunt(Classic Board Books), by Michael Rosen and Helen OxenburyNow young readers can join in the fun with this Classic Board Book edition of We're Going on a Bear Hunt. Full of delightful comedy, this tale of a brave family's joyous journey is sure to win new fans.The Wayside School series, by Louis SacharThe Wayside School series attracted me a lot when I read Mrs. Gorf turned all the children into apples. These books might be my all-time favorites to read aloud. Are they inspiring stories or morality tales(道德故事)or just comments on the educational system? Thanks to the gift of Louis Sachar, they're all three. The fact that he based the characters on actual students he taught at a California public school makes children love reading these stories more.The Tashi series, by Anna FienbergWho is Tashi?

I once recommended Tashi to a friend, who brought it along on a camping trip with her family.

An American university president once said that Einstein had made a new outlook—a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on, but even ordinary men now understand that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.By 1914 young Einstein had been world-famous. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited chances for study, but soon his peace and quiet life were broken by World War Ⅰ.Einstein hated fighting and killing. The great suffering of the war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work. In the years following World War Ⅰ, honours were increasingly put on him. He became head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physics. But he himself refused the effort to put him in a position far above other people. He was well known for his humble(谦逊的)manners. He often said that his success would certainly have been achieved by others if he had never lived. In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize, and he was honoured in Germany until the rise of Nazism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.(1)The main idea of the first paragraph is ________.A.the difficulty of Einstein's thought to othersB.the feeling of an American university president towards EinsteinC.the difference between science and historyD.the change in human thought produced by Einstein(2)From the second paragraph, we know Albert Einstein ________.A.enjoyed world popularityB.became head of a schoolC.was popular with his studentsD.enjoyed studying wars(3)Which of the following statements about Einstein is TRUE?A.He achieved more than other scientists in history.B.Our ideas about the universe differ from one another because of him.C.He kept working until peace came in 1918.A.Einstein's theory was soon accepted even by ordinary peopleB.more and more honours went to EinsteinC.Einstein almost had no chances for his researchD.Einstein was not honoured in Germany until the rise of NazismD.The delivery of the printer cost much time.(4)What does Ascione think of the new printed house?A.It is much cheaper than a brick house.B.It benefits a lot from the C3PO project.C.It is well received in construction industry.D.It is an inspiration for the construction industry.D.Suspect.(3)We can conclude from Paragraph 6 that pet cafes may ________.A.change our views of animalsB.teach us how to look after pets betterC.show us the importance of having petsD.remind us to value our family and friends(4)Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Cafes Enjoy Great PopularityB.Ideal Shelters for Lovely AnimalsC.Animals Turn into CompanionsD.Animal Lovers from Different Cities三、书面表达(本题共计 1 小题,共计5分)6.

AThe Best Theatres of the Year“A Streetcar Named Desire”Maxine Peake, following outstanding performances in “Hamlet” and “The Skriker”, now plays Blanche DuBois. It will be fascinating to see whether Peake plays Blanche as a shape of the poetic spirit rather than a crazy southern beauty. With Sarah Frankcom directing and Ben Batt as Stanley Kowalski, the play must be good.September to 15 October, Royal Exchange, ManchesterBox office: 0161-8339833“The Gaul”Some time on the night of 8 February 1974, fisherman FV Gaul disappeared off the coast of Norway. For the families of the 36 men on board, waiting for news was a hard time. Stories came up. Even when he was discovered on the seabed, many still felt there were questions that remained unanswered. Mark Babych directs Janet Plater’s play.6-29 October, Hull TruckBox office: 01482323638“The Red Barn”David Hare’s new play is based on “La Main”, a thriller by the great Georges Simenon. The setting is Connecticut 1969, and the story is about two couples who, on their way back from a party, try to go through the snow. The play is directed by Robert Icke, and Mark Strong and Hope Davis are leading actors.6-20 October Lyttelton, LondonBox office: 020-********“The Cheviot, the Stag and the Black Oil”John McGrath’s play about the exploitation (开发) of the Scottish Highlands has been described as the most important show in the history of the Scottish theatre. First seen over 40 years ago, the show is now revived (使复活) by Joe Douglas and gets five-star reviews on its first outing. 14-24 September, Royal Lyceum, EdinburghBox office: 0131-24848481. What can we infer about Maxine Peake?A. She is a famous director.B. She acted well in ”Hamlet”.C. She is a friend of Blanche DuBois.D. She enjoys poems much.2. What happened to FV Gaul in the play?A. He was caught in the snow.B. He came back to life after he died.C. He disappeared and died.D. He explored the Scottish Highlands.3. The director of “The red Barn” is _____.A. David HareB. Robert IckeC Mark Strong. D. Sarah Frankcom4. About the plays mentioned in the passage, we can know they _____.A. are all thrillersB. are directed by the same personC. would be on in autumnD. would be on at the same theatreBBritish shoppers buy 2.15 million tons of clothing and shoes per year, yet UK people have about £ 30 billon worth of unused clothing at the back of the wardrobe (⾐橱) . But new technology could see the end of tat (粗⿇布) with the clothes themselves reminding the owners of their existence.“Smart clothes” could help us clear out our wardrobes by sending messages or tweeting (推⽂) to us if they haven’t been worn for a good while. If these messages are ignored, the clothes will get in touch with a clothing charity and ask to be reused, with an organization automatically sending out donation in order. They could also be programmed for a public sale where they are sold to whoever offers the highest price on eBay.Experts at Birmingham, City University are developing the “connected wardrobe”to encourage more suitable clothes consumption (消费). The new kind of wardrobe sees clothes tagged, using washable contactless technology.Mark Brill, senior lecturer at the university, said, “Think of the surprise when an owner suddenly receives bids (出价) for items that they didn’t know in their wardrobe. The ‘connected wardrobe’is a practical pleasant idea to encourage people to think about their clothing consumption. Finally, I hope it will encourage more proper fashion consumption. Perhaps we can even move away from the idea of the ownership of clothing. When we’ve worn them enough, the items will pass themselves on to their next keeper.”It follows in the footsteps of the “Internet of things”—an idea that sees ordinary household items connecting to the Internet in order to share information. Now, the “Internet of Clothes” will make sure that neglected clothes will tweet and text the owners,“asking” to be worn depending on the weather and frequency of wear. Clothes will keep track of other information, such as who owned them before, as well as how much they originally cost, who made them and how much the worker was paid for them.5. What does the author say about the “smart clothes”?A. They may be recycled if long forgotten.B. They have gotten popularity.C. They give warnings if worn out.D. They may be donated on eBay.6. What is suggested in the last paragraph?A. The Internet is a place to share items.B. Weather affects the connected wardrobe.C. Household items can be a source of information.D. Clothes are sold online at a low price.7. The underlined word “neglected”in the last paragraph means “_____”.A. changeableB. unforgettableC. recycledD. unnoticed8. What’s the passage mainly about?A. The future of clothes consumption.B. The new technology about clothes.C. Common things sold on the Internet.D. Recycled wardrobes on the market.CCold weather during winter months may keep many people from running in the open air. However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. Researchers say running in cold weather helps improve one’s performance. Many people say running in winter can be difficult. Two reasons are the low temperatures and cold winds. Yet many runners might find it easier than running in hot weather. That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate and the body’s dehydration (脱⽔) levels are lower than those in warmer conditions. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather.This information comes from sports scientist John Brewer at St Mary’s University in London. He and other researchers put a group of people into a room they called an “environmental Chamber”. They then recreated summer and winter weather conditions in the room. The test subjects were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions. The team recorded biological measurements of the runners.Brewer says every movement runners make produces heat. One way in which people lose heat is by sweating (流汗). The body also loses heat by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin, which puts more pressure on the heart in summer because it’s much harder to lose heat in the warm environment. However, the body doesn’t have to work as hard to transport blood to the skin’s surface in cold conditions. That means running in cooler temperatures requires less energy.Several websites note that the most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Wear shoes that will keep you from falling. Keeping as dry as possibleis most important when exercising in low temperatures. And wear more than one layer (层) of clothing to keep sweat away from your skin. So don’t let winter keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running.9. What were the test subjects required to do in the “environmental chamber”?A. Stay in the room in the hot and cold conditions.B. Run more than 10,000 meters in the warm environment.C. Run 10,000 meters under summer and winter weather conditions.D. Stay in the room for a long time in the cold environment.10. Running in cooler temperatures requires less energy because _____.A. it prevents runners producing sweatB. it’s much harder for the body to lose heatC. it’s easier for the runners to breathe fresh airD. it’s easier for the body to send blood to the skin’s surface11. Which of the following are proper ways to run in cold conditions?①Wearing as dryly as possible.②Wearing only one layer of clothing.③Wearing shoes that will prevent falling.A.①②B.②③C.①③D.①②③12. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To show his love of running in cold weather.B. To persuade people to stay indoors in winter.C. To give some advice on running in cold weather.D. To encourage people to run in cold weather.DWe had about half an hour until the bus would arrive to take us to the airport. I wasn’t worried about my daughter. At ten years old, she could easily entertain herself. But what was my four-year-old son going to do for the next 30 minutes?Half an hour could seem like a long time for a pre-school child. He began playing with his toy car. Then he noticed a boy similar in age. Actually, they noticed each other. Slowly, theybegan to interact (互动). At first, they shared smiles, which soon led to sharing toys. And before I knew it, they were running and playing in the hotel lobby.I realized that the scene described above was not uncommon. However, there was one thing that I have to mention: The boys did not share a common language. However, this little thing didn’t seem to stop them from their fun in the least. They were two little boys who had just met, and they were having more fun than anyone else in the lobby. In fact, I believed they would have played together all day if we had let them.Classrooms around the world are becoming more and more diverse (多种多样的). And that’s a good thing. But with this diversity comes a responsibility to our students. We must provide ways in which they can interact and feel comfortable, despite the language that they do or don’t speak. We must allow students who share the same interests to spend time together—even when they don’t share the same language. By doing this, we immediately place them in their comfort zone. When they work within their strengths, students’ confidence grows.Furthermore, as walls come down, students are more likely to welcome and work together with those whom they may not have noticed before.13. From the first paragraph, we can infer that_____.A. the author arrived at the airport half an hour earlier.B. the author was worried about his son.C. the author’s son could easily entertain himself.D. the author’s daughter was worried about her little brother.14. What happened to the two boys without sharing the same language?A. They played together happily.B. They learned from each other.C. They had difficulty in communicating.D. They made noises in the hotel lobby.15. According to the passage, students who_____.A. share the same language would be friends.B. come from the same place can communicate well.C. have the same interests should spend time together.D. come from different families have different habits.第⼆节 (共5⼩题;每⼩题2分,满分10分)根据短⽂内容,从短⽂后的选项中选出能填⼊空⽩处的最佳选项。

一、阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)ABefore traveling around the world, take some time and find out what sightseeing destinations are. Some of those spots that most guides mention are the following thrilling attractions.Victoria FallsVictoria Falls has always been considered to be an incredible place worth taking pictures of. There are a lot of spots that tourists love. Some of them are very dangerous for people. Yet the brave are ready to overcome their fear for a shot of lifetime.Arctic Cliff FaceA cliff does not make the most comfortable place for camping. Camping on the ground is far safer anyway. Despite all the inconvenience, the new trend is rapidly gaining popularity among climbing enthusiasts and outdoor addicts.Auckland’s Sky TowerAuckland’s Sky Tower is popular with bungee jumpers. Some celebrities, such as Beyonce, have already tried it, which proves that the place is not only safe but popular as well. The tower is 630 feet tall. At the top of the structure there is an observation deck. Trust us, most of those reading this article would prefer to stay on the ground rather than climb up this scary structure.North Yungas RoadThe Road of Death is the right name given to a road in Bolivia. Hundreds of people die here every year. The major cause of all those accidents is the road. The problem is that it is too narrow and badly maintained while here the traffic is heavier than anywhere else. Nevertheless, it seems like tourists will continue visiting this strange road despite its scary nickname.1. What is Victoria Falls famous for?A. Its narrow and badly maintained roadB. Its dangerous but attractive spots for taking picturesC. Its scary structureD. Its thrilling camping2. North Yungas Road is called “the Road of Death” because ________. .A. the traffic is the heaviestB. it is built on the edge of the rockC. each year many people lose their lives thereD. there is no necessary protection equipment3. If you like bungee jumping, you can go to ________. .A. Victoria FallsB. Arctic Cliff FaceC. Auckland’s Sky TowerD. North Yungas Road4. What do the four places have in common?A. They are a bit life-threatening.B. They all have beautiful scenery.C. They are popular with climbers.D. They have been visited by celebrities.BHow do young children learn to have good values? How can parents teach their children about the importance of kindness and patience? At a time more and more parents worry about the violent images (暴力形象) their children see on TV and on the Internet. So many parents are turning to fairy tales. They want to teach their children how to behave in society by this way.It is believed that fairy tales have a great influence on children because they describe the two sides of good and evil (邪恶) very clearly. When children hear the tales, they learn to care about others’ feelings. In each tale, they can see that there are many different kinds of people in the world and that we all have a choice about what kind of person we want to be. We can choose to do good actions, rather than bad ones, in our lives.What kind of values can children learn from fairy tales? In The Princess and the Pea (《豌豆公主》), a poorly dressed girl says she is a princess. Few people believe her, so she is given a difficult test. When she passes the test, we learn that her dream comes true because she stays true to herself. In the Little Mermaid (《小美人鱼》), the mermaid, who lives under the sea, wishes to be with the humans on land. Through her experiences, we learn about the importance of living with and accepting other cultures.Teaching values is probably the main reason for encouraging children to read fairy tales. These tales can teach children lessons about human relationships that have been accepted around the world for many centuries. This might be the reason why they have been around for so long and will not disappear any time soon.5. Why do fairy tales have a great influence on children?A. Because fairy tales can teach them how to make a choice.B. Because fairy tales can help them get higher scores at school.C. Because they can learn how to avoid most difficulties in their lives.D. Because good and evil are shown in a way they can easily understand.6.The Little Mermaid may be helpful when children ________.A. are given a difficult testB. make friends with foreignersC. wish to be a princess or princeD. are going to lie to their parents7.The author writes the text mainly to ________.A. introduce some fairy talesB. talk about the history of fairy tales.C. discuss how to improve human relationshipsD. show how fairy tales help children shape valuesCMetro Pocket GuideMetrorail (地铁)Each passenger needs a farecard to enter and go out.

Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor(固定) it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all —LUNCH!

Then after a few steps the father turned back and(7)________ a meaningful suggestion: "Tell Harry he had better feel like it." The reason why I treasure Fosdick's father's instruction is that many of us know what we have to do inour(8)________ tasks —we are told what to do, while the major(9)________ is that in many cases we delay action until we feel like it.So think of the(10)________ that Harry's father tells him that he "had better feel like it" when we must do the(11)________ things. Already, I am confident you could add a dozen similar(12)________ tasks and responsibilities to this list—possibly two dozen.

When doctors prescribe(开处方)drugs that have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration(FDA)for purposes different from what is printed on the labels, the drugs are being used "off-label." Just because a drug is FDA-approved for a specific type of disease does not prevent it from having possible benefits for other purposes.For example, Metformin, a drug that is FDA-approved for treating type 2 diabetes, is also used to treat PCOS(a disease of women), and other diseases. Trazodone, an anti-depressant with FDA-approval to treat depression, is also prescribed by doctors to help treat patients with sleep issues.The Ohio State University research team created an AI deep learning model for predictingtreatment probability with patient data including the treatment, outcomes, and potential confounders(干扰因素).Confbunders are related to the exposure and outcome. For example, a connection is identified between music festivals and increases in skin rashes(红疹). Music festivals do not directly cause skin rashes. In this case, one possible confounding factor between the two may be outdoor heat, as music festivals tend to run outdoors when the temperature is high, and heat is a known cause for rashes. When working with real-world data, confounders could number in the thousands. AI deep learning is well-suited to find patterns in the complexity of potentially thousands of confounders.The researcher team used confounders including population data and co-prescribed drugs. With this proof-of-concept, now clinicians have a powerful AI tool to rapidly discover new treatments by repurposing existing medications.(1)What do we know about a drug used off-label?A.It is sold without a label.B.It is available at a low price.C.Its uses extend beyond the original ones.D.Its clinical trials are rejected by doctors.(2)Metformin and Trazodone are similar as both of them ________.A.are used off-labelB.treat rare diseasesC.result in sleep issuesD.are medical breakthroughs(3)What can be inferred about "confounders"?A.They are possible treatments.B.They are environmental factors.C.They can be easily recognized in real-world data.D.They should be taken into serious consideration.(4)What is the main idea of the text?A.AI examines benefits of existing drugs.B.AI identifies off-label uses for drugs.C.AI finds new drugs for common diseases.D.AI proves the power of drug research.四、书面表达(本题共计 2 小题,每题 5 分,共计10分)6.假如你是李华,你的美国网友Peter参加中国象棋网络挑战赛获得了一等奖。

Meant to be the perfect sweet-and-sour summer drink, Starbucks Chile offered a Lemon Bar Frappuccino for the summer of 2018. With the combination of vanilla bean and lemonade topped with caramel sugar and whipped cream, the drink was relatively well received, though some were disappointed there was no coffee in it. It's still unknown whether Starbucks will be bringing the limited edition drink back to Chile or anywhere for the summer of 2019.
Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露) to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problems,but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风) within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物) were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)considers to be of “moderate” (良好) quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.

一、阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)ABefore traveling around the world, take some time and find out what sightseeing destinations are. Some of those spots that most guides mention are the following thrilling attractions.Victoria FallsVictoria Falls has always been considered to be an incredible place worth taking pictures of. There are a lot of spots that tourists love. Some of them are very dangerous for people. Yet the brave are ready to overcome their fear for a shot of lifetime.Arctic Cliff FaceA cliff does not make the most comfortable place for camping. Camping on the ground is far safer anyway. Despite all the inconvenience, the new trend is rapidly gaining popularity among climbing enthusiasts and outdoor addicts.Auckland’s Sky TowerAuckland’s Sky Tower is popular with bungee jumpers. Some celebrities, such as Beyonce, have already tried it, which proves that the place is not only safe but popular as well. The tower is 630 feet tall. At the top of the structure there is an observation deck. Trust us, most of those reading this article would prefer to stay on the ground rather than climb up this scary structure.North Yungas RoadThe Road of Death is the right name given to a road in Bolivia. Hundreds of people die here every year. The major cause of all those accidents is the road.

How can parents teach their children about the importance of kindness and patience? At a time more and more parents worry about the violent images (暴力形象) their children see on TV and on the Internet. So many parents are turning to fairy tales. They want to teach their children how to behave in society by this way.It is believed that fairy tales have a great influence on children because they describe the two sides of good and evil (邪恶) very clearly. When children hear the tales, they learn to care about others’ feelings. In each tale, they can see that there are many different kinds of people in the world and that we all have a choice about what kind of person we want to be. We can choose to do good actions, rather than bad ones, in our lives.What kind of values can children learn from fairy tales? In The Princess and the Pea (《豌豆公主》), a poorly dressed girl says she is a princess. Few people believe her, so she is given a difficult test. When she passes the test, we learn that her dream comes true because she stays true to herself. In the Little Mermaid (《小美人鱼》), the mermaid, who lives under the sea, wishes to be with the humans on land. Through her experiences, we learn about the importance of living with and accepting other cultures.Teaching values is probably the main reason for encouraging children to read fairy tales. These tales can teach children lessons about human relationships that have been accepted around the world for many centuries. This might be the reason why they have been around for so long and will not disappear any time soon.5. Why do fairy tales have a great influence on children?A.

Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor(固定) it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all —LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.12.What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?A. Getting injured in his work.B.
