He 18 , smiled and said, “Happy Birthday!” I was not completely ready for what happened next. He took out a dollar from his 19 bag, and gave it to me, saying, “Here man, take this. Happy Birthday!” That’s 20 . I thought he was making a joke!Although I was 21 deeply by his generosity（慷慨）, accepting money from a homeless man was embarrassing for me. I felt very uncomfortable. So I replied, “Thanks, but…” Looking directly into my eyes, he said, “God is so good to me. Every night, I always end up with a place to 22 and enough food to eat. Please take this.” I held out my 23 —without thinking twice, saying, “Thank you.”This was one of my 24 life lessons—however poor we may feel, we always have something valuable to share with others.

Friends play an important part in our lives. Friendship between friends is thought to be very important. Many people want others to be their friends, but they don't give friendship back. That is one of the causes why some friendships don't last very long. Teenager Center did a survey on "What do you think the most important thing about friendship is?" 368 teenagers took part in the survey. The following is the results.Dr. Allen wrote a report to teenagers about it. Let's read it together.Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must trust each other. If you don't tell the truth, you may lose your friend's trust.Generosity（慷慨）means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don't have to give your lunch money or your clothes, of course. Instead you share your ideas and feelings.Understanding can be valuable to a friend. Everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. You can try to put yourself in your friend's place, so you can understand the problem better.No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have some things in common. In fact, good friendship will just not easily last. That's to say, you must give as much as you take, or friendship will die away.（1）How many teenagers took part in the survey aboutfriendship?（不超过15个词）______（2）What is the most important thing about friendship according to the survey?（不超过15个词）______（3）How can we understand our friends' problemsbetter?（不超过15个词）______【答案】'（1）368 teenagers took part in the survey about friendship.''（2）Honesty is the most important thing about friendship according to the survey.'"（3）We can try to put ourselves in our friends' place."【解答】（1）368 teenagers took part in the survey about friendship.根据文章第一段Teenager Center did a survey on "What do you think the most important thing about friendship is?" 368 teenagers took part in thesurvey.可知，368名青少年参加了调查。

I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island, “I thought you preferred the sea to being on land.”“I do,” replied the captain. “But these forests are under the sea.”After going through a door, we were about ten metres under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We were going deeper and deeper. At 100 metres deep, we could see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” in the forest were giant seaweed(海草), and all their “branches” were vertical(垂直的).We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest.Suddenly, I saw a large sea spider about a metre tall. It was going to attack me. Captain Nemo's man killed it with his gun, but it reminded me that the sea could be as dangerous as it was beautiful. When we reached 150 metres, it was dark. The sun's light could not reach this depth(深度). We turned on our lights. We could see about 20 metres around us. Finally, we found Crespo Island—where a steep rock wall rose in front of us.We could go no further, so we walked back towards the Nautilus. Suddenly, Captain Nemo stopped and shot an animal with his gun, it was a beautiful and rare sea otter(水獭). At last, we could see the Nautilus. Several large sharks swam over us. Luckily they didn't see us. We re-entered the Nautilus safely. I was tired but amazed by what I had seen. 1．What do “dark shapes” in Paragraph 3 refer to(指的是)?A．Trees. B．Seaweed. C．Rocks.

You don't need to care about those who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and lots of money and so on. Why? .Because those who have big house may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too.All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you. Happiness is not the same as money.It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can't be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like arevolvingdoor. When it closes, it also opens.

These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize. Or they can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.Once you have found a dream, what do you do with it? Have you ever tried to make your dream come true?Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that realizing our dreams 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 stop you from getting your dream, the book says. In fact, everyone can realize their dreams. 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 and you will realize your dream faster. Do this step by step. A dream can’t be realized in one day. A big dream is, in fact, many small dreams. You should never give up your dream easily.There must be difficulties on the road to realize it. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice-cream means you can buy a new book. As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as long as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.1．The first thing you must do to realize the dream is .A．to find a dream B．to learn more skillsC．to do anything you want D．to remember what your dream is2．What does the underlined word “thoughts” mean in Chinese?A．想法B．作品C．文学D．观念3．The passage was written to .A．ask us to find a dream B．show us what is a dreamC．ask us to realize the dream D．introduce us a book named Follow Your Heart4．Why does the biggest difficulty come from yourself?A．Because you cannot watch TV.B．Because you need to decide what is the most important.C．Because you have to study day and night.D．Because you have to save five yuan to buy a new book.5．What can we learn from the passage?A．Dreams can be realized in one day.B．Andrew Matthews is an American writer.C．There must be difficulties on the road to realize a dream.D．The biggest difficulty to realize dreams comes from parents.F18、The sun is a huge, hot and bright star. It is important because without it there would be no life on the earth. The sun gives us light and heat.All living things depend on the sun for their growth. Plants need light and heat to grow. They use the light from the sun to make food. But we human beings cannot make food by our own bodies from the sun. All the food we eat comes from plants in a food chain(链) . And the food chain starts with the sun . For example.sun —→potatoes —→chipssun —→corn —→hens —→eggssun—→wheat —→breadAnimals need sunlight, too. Just like us, their food comes from plants in food chain, which begins with the sun. For example,Sun → leaf → caterpilllar(毛虫) → birdSun → seaweed(海藻) → small fish → whale(鲸)With the help of sunlight, we can see things during the day. Even when the sky is cloudy, the sunlight is very strong and it shines through the clouds. If there was no sun, it would be dark all the time.1．The sun is a star.A．huge, cold and bright B．huge, hot and bright C．small, warm and bright2．What are the two main things the sun gives us?A．Light and heat.

Glancing up, he saw a large wasp nest under the roof. Allen had heard that wasps can became more likely to sting in summer. He mentioned this to Mrs. Carey, who had opened the door.“Oh, they don’t bother me,” she said lightly. “I go in and out all the time.”Anxiously, Allen looked at the nest again—to see the wasps flying straight at him. “Hurry!” he shouted to Mrs. Carey. “Get in!”She stepped quickly inside. Allen ran for his mini-bus. Too late; they were upon him. Just as he jumped aboard, half a dozen red spots showed on his arm, and he felt more on his back and shoulders.As he was driving down the road, Allen felt as if something was burning at the back, and the “fire” was spreading forward toward his face. And immediate anxiety took hold of him. Allen knew that stings could cause some persons to die. But he had been stung the previous summer and the after-effects soon passed. However, what he didn’t know was that the first sting had turned his body into a time bomb waiting for the next to set off an explosion.Miles from the nearest medical assistance, Allen began to feel his tongue thick and heavy and his heartbeat louder. Most frightening, he felt his breathing more and more difficult. He reached for the radio mike, trying to call the mini-bus centre, but his words were hardly understandable. Signals were also poor that far out. He knew a rescue team was on 24-hour duty at the Amherst Fire Department’s north station. So his best chance was to make a run for it.Rushing down the mountain, Allen tried not to panic, focusing his mind on each sharp turn. He was almost through the last of them when he felt sure he was going into shock. Just then he reached for the radio mike again.“Call fire station,” he shouted concentrating to form the words. “Emergency. Bee sting. Emergency. There in ten minutes.”“Five-ten,” the center replied.Hold on, Allen thought. Keep your eyes open. Breathe. Keep awake.At last he reached the station. Two firemen ran out. Allen felt their hands grasp him before he hit the ground. You made it, he thought.26.It is mentioned in the passage that wasps are more likely to attack when_______.A. there are huge noisesB. strangers are getting very nearC. the air is filled with food smellD. the hottest season comes around27.Allen didn't know that if stung by wasps again, he would___________.A. have no after-effectsB. suffer from sharper painC. lose his lifeD. became much weaker28.Allen failed at the first time when he tried to send his message to the mini-bus centerbecause__________.A. he was unable to speak clearlyB. his radio equipment was poorC. he was in a state of shockD. no one was on duty29.Which of the following is NOT true according the story?A. Allen drove to the fire station because he knew there was a rescue team there.B. Allen managed to make his request of help clear though he had difficulty talking by then.C. The mini-bus centre did help in that they got the rescue team ready before Allen arrived.D. Allen shouldn’t have looked at the wasps when he helped Mrs. Carey.30.Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Allen, a Helpless DriverB. Wasps, Bloody KillersC. A Race against DeathD. War against WaspsB"The world's oceans are slowly getting more acidic,” say scientists. The researchers from California report that the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.The lowering of the waters’ PH value is not great at the moment but could cause a serious threat to current ocean life if it continues, they warn. Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature.Increasing use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by sea water. Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid. Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century.These researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change．"This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO2 into the atmosphere," said Dr Caldeira. "And we predict the amount of future acidity will exceed anything we have seen over the last several hundred million years, let alone perhaps after rare disasters such as asteroid impacts．”However, it is not absolutely clear what that means for ocean life．Most organisms live near the surface, where the greatest PH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean life forms may be more sensitive to PH changes．Coral reefs(珊瑚礁) and other organisms whose shells contain calcium carbonate may be particularly affected if the water's acidity levels keep going up, the team predict. They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower PH.In recent years some people have suggested storing carbon dioxide from power stations in the deep ocean as a way of dealing with global warming．But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered. "Previously, most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbondioxide as a good thing-because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet, and when CO2, is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming.”31. The ocean is becoming more acidic due to___________.A. the lower water PH valueB. the warming atmosphereC. the higher level of CO2 in the airD. the increasing use of oil fuels32. According to Dr Caldeira,__________ .A. ocean absorption of carbon dioxide is a good thingB. more oil fuels will be used in the near futureC. scientists may predict climate changes with computer modelsD. the future situation of the amount of acidity is extremely serious33. If the water's acidity level keeps rising,_________ .A. ocean life whose structures contain calcium carbonate may be affectedB. the waters’ PH value will become higher and higherC. organisms living near the surface are more sensitive to PH changesD. some disasters will occur more often than before34. What does the underlined word “acidic” probably mean?A. 污染的B. 酸的C. 复杂的D. 温暖的35. The purpose of this passage is to_________ .A. show people the findings of a research teamB. inform people of how acid the ocean is nowC. introduce Dr Caldeira and his team's researchD. warn people of the higher acidity level in the seaCJames Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.“J. C.,” he replied.She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down the stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book. The stage was set for Owens’ victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners.“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death. Owens’ Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs. “Sure, it bothered me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”36. Owens got his other name when __________.A. he went to Ohio State UniversityB. his teacher made fun of himC. his teacher took “J. C.” for “Jesse”D. he won gold medals in the Games37．In the Big Ten meet, Owens _________.A. hurt himself in the backB. was weak but determined to winC. tried every sports event but failedD. had to give up some events38．Owens received no telephone calls from the president because _________.A. he was not of the right raceB. he was the son of a poor farmerC. he didn’t shake hands with HitlerD. he refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up39.

It's ▲ to bring this kind of traditional art to life，" said Tan，the 48-year-old artist."Every nut looks different before being carved，"Tan added.Artists have to study each nut to carefully plan out theirartwork.Besides，according to Tan，they have to learn about some skills in painting and handwriting art from many traditional cultures."In order to show folk stories from ancient times，I need to read many books to enrich myself.""Artists in the past have been wise enough to turn common things into objects of beauty.In recent years，thanks to the creative ideas of artists in Weifang，nut carving artworks have been increasingly welcomed by people in China，"Tan said."This popularity，in turn，has also attracted many young people to learn the traditional skills of nut carving，create new skills and even help to pass down the skills to future artists."26．From the passage we can learn that a nut carving artwork is____.A．usually made of a fruit nut B．over 8 centimeters longC．a form of modern art D．an invention by Wang Dayan27．Which of the following can be put in the ▲ ？A．possible B．hard C．a habit D．a pity28．According to the passage，we can infer that____.A．Tan was born and grew up in ShandongB．Tan is talented in all traditional art formsC．Tan teaches nut carving in Palace MuseumD．Tan is a knowledgeable artist of nut carving29．If you are required to add one paragraph to the passage，it might be about____.A．the history of nut carvingB．the disappearing of nut carvingC．a traditional folk storyD．the development of nut carving阅读理解On the first day of school，our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know.I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.I turned around to find a wrinkled，little old lady with a smile.She said，"Hi，handsome!My name is Rose.I'm eighty-seven yearsold.Can I give you a hug？"I laughed and warmly responded，"Of course you may!" She gave me a giant squeeze （拥抱）. "Why areyou in college at such a young，innocent （幼稚的）age？" I asked.She jokingly replied，"I'm here to meet a rich husband，get married，have a couple of children，and then retire and travel.""No，seriously？" I asked.I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age."I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.After class we walked to the Student Union building and shared a chocolate milkshake.We became instant friends.Every day of the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop.I was always attracted listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.Over the course of the year，Rose became a campus icon （校园偶像）and she easily made friends wherever she went.She loved to dress up and enjoyed the attention from other students.She was living it up.At the end of the term，we invited Rose to speak at a student gathering.I'll never forget what she taught us. "We do not stop playing because we are old；we grow old because we stop playing.There are only four secrets to staying young，being happy，and achieving success.You have to laugh and find humor every day.You've got to have a dream.When you lose your dreams，you die.There are so many people walking around who are dead，and they don't even know it." she said."There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.Anybody can grow older.That doesn't take any talent or ability，" she added. "But growing up requires finding opportunities in change.Have no regrets.The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did，but rather for things we did not do. "She concluded her speech by courageously singing The Rose.She challenged each of us to study the lyrics （歌词）and live them out in our daily life.At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years.We'd always keep her in mind because it is the wonderful woman who taught us by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be. 30．Why did Rose go to college according to the passage？A．To share her wisdom and experience.B．To find out the secret of living longer.C．To make her college dream come true.D．To get married to a wealthy husband.31．The meaning of the underlined phrase "living it up" probably means____.A．enjoying life B．growing olderC．working hard D．losing herself32．Which of the correct order of the following events？a.Rose graduated from college.b.Rose gave an encouraging speech.c.Rose and the writer became friends.d.Rose introduced herself to the writer.e.Rose became popular among students.f.Rose greeted the writer with a big hug.A．f-e-b-c B．f-c-a-b C．d-b-e-a D．d-c-b-a33．What lesson can we learn from Rose's story？A．Being generous to people can gain respect from them.B．Growing up is easy while growing older needs efforts.C．Doing what we dream of leads to no regrets in the future.D．Never to stop studying makes people stay young forever.阅读理解Schools and universities can set up full-time or part-time positions of sports coaches. A guideline issued（颁发）by the General Administration of Sport（体育总局）and three other departments in January, 2023, said that these school coaches can not only help students get higher level in sports but also become members of sports teachers when some schools are in need of them.Local governments can provide a certain number of school coaching positions for retired（退役的）high-level sportsmen. After getting teaching certificates, school coaches can become sports teachers, too. Sports teachers can also become school coaches after getting coaching certificates.School coaches are responsible to train sports skills of students, organize physical training and choose future sports talents. Also, it's their job to organize school sports competitions, manage school sports teams and sports clubs and so on.Connecting sports with education is an important way to improve students' health. And more sports coaches in schools can develop sports education. With the help of them, students can keep one hour of sports activities in and after school every day.

War, weather, age, traffic and pollution damage (破坏) these famous places. If we do nothing, they may even no longer remain. But looking after these places often costs more than one country can afford.In the early 1970s, world governments decided that if they joined together, they would be able to preserve (保护) our history. If every country paid some money, they said, it would be possible to look after important historic places. For this reason, countries around the world united to form the World Heritage Organization in 1972. Today, the organization helps to protect and rebuild the most important places from our history.However, one of the biggest problems for historic places is vandalism. That is to say, people sometimes enter these places and damage the buildings. At some places, such as Stonehenge in England, governments have built high fences to protect it from vandals.There are many different ideas about how to solve the problem of vandalism. Some professors say that if guards keep walking around these places, vandals won’t be able to get in. Some professors say that if they fix more television cameras, they won’t need so many guards. Others say that the best way is education. If people learn to respect history, they won’t damage it. They will also want to spend money looking after old places. For this reason, the World Heritage Organization helps to spread information about the value of historic places.1．Our children and grandchildren may not have a chance to visit many of the most famous places around the world, probably because .A．they don’t have enough money to go thereB．these places may disappear in the futureC．governments don’t allo w them to enterD．they are afraid of the guards there2．The World Heritage Organization was set up for the following reasons EXCEPT .A．It would be able to help preserve our history.B．No countries wanted to protect the historic places.C．It would collect money to rebuild the damaged places.D．It would be possible to take care of important historic places.3．Which of the following shows us the action of vandalism?A．People enter the places and damage the buildings.B．Governments build high fences to protect the place from vandals.C．Guards walk around these places and fix more television cameras.D．War, weather, age, traffic and pollution damage these famous places.4．What’s the best way to solve the biggest problem of vandalism?A．To spend more money looking after these places.B．To make guards prevent vandals getting in.C．To fix more television cameras in these places.D．To make people know about the value of historic places.B14、In Chinese culture, people believe some numbers are lucky or unlucky. This is to see what Chinese character the number sounds like. For example, the Chinese word for the number 8 sounds like the word for “making a fortune”. So, people think it is a very lucky number. Some people spend a lot of money to have 8s in their phone numbers. The opening time of the Beijing Olympics began at 8:08 p.m. on August 8, 2008.The number 9 is also a lucky number. It is something to do with the emperors of China. There were nine dragons on emperors’ robes(龙袍). Today, 9 often stands for “long lasting”. That’s why close friends always use 99 or 999 to describe their friendship.So what’s a “bad luck” number in China? It might be 4. Many Chinese people see 4 as a “bad luck” number. Because it sounds like the Chinese character for “death”.Because of this, many buildings don’t have the fourth floor, and just call it the fifth floor. In Hong Kong, some buildings even don’t have all floors numbered with 4, such as, 4、14、24、34 and all 40-49 floors. Some buildings also don’t have the 13th floor as 13 is an unlucky number in the West. Now a question for you: How many floors are actually there if abuilding’s highest floor is numbered 50?1．What makes Chinese people believe a number is lucky or unlucky?A．The shape of the number B．The sound of the number in ChineseC．The history of the number D．The sound of the number in English2．Chinese people like the number 8, because it means “____”.A．living a long life B．becoming beautifulC．making lots of money D．living a happy life3．What does this story mainly talk about?A．Lucky or unlucky numbers in Western cultureB．Meanings of different lucky numbersC．Meanings of different unlucky numbersD．Lucky or unlucky numbers in Chinese culture4．In Hong Kong, how many floors are there if a building’s highest floor is numbered 50?A．36 B．32 C．30 D．34C15、Go “back” in timeIs there a way to quickly recall（回忆）information just before taking an exam? Walking backwards might be a solution. Scientists from the University of Roehampton in the UK said this activity can help people improve theirshort-term memory.Researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, the volunteers were split（分成）into three groups. One group was told to walk 10 meters forward. The second group walked 10 meters backwards. The third group stood in one place. All three groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video.The scientists found that the backward-walking group got two more answers correct than the other two groups.This suggests that the link between the concepts（概念）of time and space is important in terms of how our minds form memories. “Time is really expressed via（通过）space,” Aleksandra, who led the study, told the Daily Mail. When you walk backwards, you see things from a different angle（角度）compared to walking forward, This difference helps people recall things that happened in the past.And walking backwards is not just good for our brains. It is also good for the rest of our body. Compared to walking forward, walking backwards is more challenging. This can help us improve our fitness, according to New Scientist. Walking backwards uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories（卡路里）.In addition, walking backwards is less stressful for our knees. It could be helpful for people who often have pain intheir knees, according to researchers from the University of Oregon in the US. Walking backwards also keeps our spines （脊柱）strong, which can help to ease（缓解）pain in the lower back. This might be why many old people like walking backwards.1．What does “this activity” in Paragraph 1 refer to（指的是）?A．Recalling information. B．Taking an exam.C．Walking backwards. D．Improving memory.2．The second paragraph is written to .A．introduce a useful way of walkingB．show who can answer more questions correctlyC．explain why walking backwards improves memoryD．describe how researchers did their experiment3．Which group got two more answers correct in the study?A．The forward-walking group. B．The backward-walking group.C．The standing-in-one-place group. D．All groups.4．According to New Scientist, how can walking backwards be helpful?A．It helps people remember information.B．It allows people to see things in a new angle.C．It helps people burn more calories.D．It can ease pain in pe ople’s knees and backs.5．What do we know from the passage?A．Walking backwards can help people in many ways.B．Scientists suggest walking backwards for 10 meters every day.C．Memories are formed when we do challenging activities.D．Old people like walking backwards because it can help them lose weight.D16、1．Tom is a 12-year-old boy. If he has a headache, he should take a day.A．1/2 tablet B．1 tabletC．2 tablets D．3 tablets2．If you want to borrow some children books, you can go to the .A．5th floor B．3rd floorC．4th floor D．2nd floor3．Lin and his father want to go to the Hamilton Zoo, they should pay .A．$15 B．$30 C．$45 D．$10E17、Dangerous situations called for help on Tuesday when rainstorms hit Phoenix, Arizona. The storm brought several inches(英寸) of rain in a short time. The National Weather Service reported the rainfall was more than the area had all last summer.Rain season in Arizona runs from June to September, bringing with it terrible storms with heavy rain and heavy winds. Because the desert around Phoenix experiences little rain most of the year, the water had nowhere to go when heavy rain started hitting the area on Tuesday.Up to 8 inches of rain fell by midday in some of the mountain areas along the main north-south freeway in Arizona. The town of New River which is outside of Phoenix, got hit with nearly 5 inches of rain from the storm. Places were flooding fast, and people tried to avoid the dangers that followed."We had many calls about the flooding of roads, buildings and homes, asking for help. We've got our men jumping from one car to the next. We worked all day and night without a break," Phoenix Fire Captain(队长), Benjamin Santillan said.A helicopter(直升机) group saved two women and three dogs from a home outside of Phoenix that had beensurrounde(包围) by moving water. Some drivers in cars were pulled out and saved by firefighters. People in schools and parks were sent to safe places.1．What happened in Phoenix and Arizona?A．Heavy snow. B．Earthquakes. C．Rainstorms. D．Strong wind.2．How long does the rain season last?A．One month. B．Two months. C．Four months. D．Six months.3．The underlined word "flooding" means _____________ .A．covering with water B．covering with snowC．covering with clouds D．covering with ice4．The fourth paragraph mainly tells us that _____________.A．some buildings were flooded terribly B．Benjamin Santillan is Phoenix Fire CaptainC．some roads and homes were flooded D．the firefighters worked hard on the stormF18、Don’t be too surprised if you see a car going down the road without a driver in Beijing these days. It might be one of Baidu’s self-driving cars.Self-driving cars have been in development since 2010, when Google announced that it was making such cars. Since then,companies like Tesla, Uber and Baidu have been working to produce and test their own self-driving cars.Self-driving cars are expected to change the way we get around. They are safer and more environmentally friendly than usual cars. They can remove the stress of driving and allow disabled or blind people to get around more easily.But self-driving cars have their own flaws (缺陷)as well. In one test, researchers pointed a laser pointer (激光棒)at the car’s sensors (传感器)while it was moving. The car mistakenly thought that the laser beam(激光束）was in its way and slowed down or changed direction. Flaws like this could be used by people to trick self-driving cars.The software (软件)that is used to direct the cars may not be safe enough. It may crash (崩溃),When we use our computers or smart phones, they sometimes crash without any reason. But if this happened to a self-driving car, the results could be deadly. Improvements to the software could be a way to deal with this problem.Anyway, whether you like it or not, it’s only a matter of time before they’ll become more affordable and popular on our roads.1．was the first company to develop self-driving cars?A．Google. B．Telsa C．Uber. D．Baidu.2．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．Solutions for disabled people. B．Tips for riding in self-driving cars.C．Reasons for testing self-driving cars. D．Advantages of self-driving cars.3．When sensing an obstacle(障碍物）in the road，self-driving cars will .A．attack it with a laser pointer B．slow down or change directionC．crash into it to get past it D．stop and move around it4．Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage?A．Self-driving cars free people from the stress of driving.B．Self-driving cars can reduce traffic accidents.C．Researchers have solved the problems self-driving cars have.D．The software of the self-driving cars needs improvements.5．What’s the writer’s opinion about the self-driving cars?A．They are more dangerous. B．They’ll be well developed in the future.C．They cause more pollution. D．They’ll be more expensive in the future.Ⅴ.书面表达19、假设你叫李华,你校英语报正在以“我最喜欢的一天”为题，向中学生开展征文活动。

lives．He was born in London，England in 1955．When he was a small boy，Tim was interested in playing with electrical things．He studied science at Oxford University．He made his first computer from an old television at the age of 21．Tim started working on early computers．At that time，they were much bigger than now．He worked in England then Switzerland．Tim was really interested in two things，computers and how the brain works．How could the brain connect so many facts so quickly？He had to work with people all over the world．They shared information about computers．It was hard to manage all the information．He answered the same questions again and again．took a lot of time．It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information．Tim also forgot things easily．Could a computer work like a brain？Could it"talk"to other computers？There was an Internet already but it was difficult to use．In 1989，Tim Berners﹣Lee invented the World Wide Web（WWW） all by himself．This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet．When people wanted to share information with others，they used the World Wide Web．The Internet grew quickly after that．Tim Berners﹣Lee doesn't think he did anything special．He says that all of the ideas about the Internet were already there．All he did was to put them together．He says that many other people worked together to make the Internet what it is today．Most inventors want to become rich．But Tim gave away the World Wide Web for nothing．He now works in America．He helps people share technology and

public library．A library usually has a largeselection of books and other resources，which library me mbers can useand borrow for free．Britain's First Public LibraryThe first public library in Britain opened in Manchester in1852．It's firstlibrarian was a man called Edward Edwards，Edwards attended the library'sopening ceremony and two famous writers called Charles Dickens and WilliamThackeray were there too．How to Join aLibraryTo join a library，go to your local library and fill in a form．you'll receive a library card which is needed when using library services．Mobile LibrariesNot everyone can get a library．Some people live far away from towns and cities．Other people find it difficult to go out because they have an illness or a disability．Thanks to mobile libraries，these people can still borrow books．Unlike most libraries，which store books in buildings，mobile libraries usually keep their books in a mini﹣bus．The back of the mini﹣bus has shelves for the books，and it is big enough for borrowers to step inside and look around．A driver takes the mini﹣bus to a certain place at a certain time，so people know when to expect it．They can then return their books and borrow some more．All

speaking on the phone，but they can hear you．So，the way you speak is especially important．In fact，researchers have calculated that 80% of communication over the phone is through your tone of voice； and only 20% is from the words you use．Here are our top tips on how to speak over the phone．1．Facial ExpressionsYour facial expression can influence your voice．For example，if you smile，your voice will sound warm and friendly，just the opposite，if you have an angry look on your face，it can make you sound unpleasant．2．VolumeIf you speak too loudly，you could sound angry．And if you speak too softly，it'll be difficult to hear you．So，speak loudly enough to be heard clearly，but not so loud that you're shouting．3．PaceThe pace of your voice is how quickly you speak．And this can show how you feel．For example，an angry person might speak faster than normal．Or a downhearted person might speak very slowly．Try speaking a little more slowly than normal．This will make you sound confident，and it'll make it easier for the other person to understand you．4．GesturesGesturing can influence the tone of your voice．When you gesture，you bring more air into the lungs，which can make your voice sound warmer．Gestures are also useful to help you stress the right words or even find the words you need．The best thing about gesturing during a phone call is that no one can see what you're doing，so you can gesture as wildly as you like!5．MovementIf you're feeling nervous，stand up and move around．It will reduce the nervousness in your body and help your voice to sound more confident．6．Pauses （停顿）Using pauses every now and then can help you to slow down．This will make you sound more confident and in control．Also，if you pause after giving some new information，it'll give the other person time to understand it．At the same time，listen to how the other person uses pauses．They could tell you something about the speaker's feeling．For example，when a speaker is really angry，he might use pauses and says，"I…am…so…angry…"41．How much of telephone communication is from the words you use？A.20%．B.40%．C.60%．D.80%．42．What can people do to reduce their nervousness on the phone？A．Gesture wildly．B．Move around．C．Raise their voices．D．Make facial expressions．43．How can pauses help people talk on the phone？A．The speaker can show he is friendly．B．The speaker can tell more information．C．The listener will feel confident and in control．D．The listener will have time to understand the words．44．What is the passage mainly about？A．How to control the speed of your speech．B．Different good ways of

（A）For his eleventh birthday, Lin was given a gift that would shape his life. On that day his father took him to the Children’s Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him. There was just one requirement: Lin would have to promise to study it for at least one year.To that point Lin had had many hobbies, but none kept his interest for more than a week or two. His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting. That hobby lasted a week. Then his father got him some paints hoping that Lin's artistic side would shine through. Those paints were now under his bed, still unopened. This time Lin’s parents would let him decide.Lin's eyes moved down the noticeboard that listed all the courses on offer. He stopped at "Photography". He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed their own camera. Although Lin's family weren't poor, they weren’t rich either, and a camera cost a lot of money. He continued looking.The next course to catch his eye was "Language Art". He didn’t even know what that meant. His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches. Lin, a shy boy, could think of nothing worse.Then he saw it. "Cooking" sounded like something he'd like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient, it could be done alone and it was also creative.Based on Lin’s hobby history, his dad had doubts, but he agreed. Much to his parents' surprise, Lin kept his promise. He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday, and practised at home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they could eat his cakes. Lin got great satisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others.The months turned to years but his hobby never changed again.Now Lin is an adult and runs a successful restaurant. When customers say they enjoy his meal, he still gets the same pleasure he did as a child, and remembers the special gift he received all those years ago.26.

It developed slowly over many months.29. Why did the father have doubts about Lin's choice of cooking?A. Lin wasn't good at cooking.B. Cooking wasn't very convenient.C. He didn’t think Lin would continue.D. Cooking wasn't a good hobby for a boy.30. What's the best title for the passage?A. A Strict FatherB. A Changeable BoyC. The Fun of CookingD. The Birthday Gift（B）Experts believe that there are more than 8 million restaurants in the world today. So it might surprise you to learn that restaurants, as we know them, have only existed for a few centuries. Before 1765, there were no restaurants. That is, there were no places that provided the restaurant experience. There was nowhere in which a waiter brought you food and drink that you picked from a menu. In fact, there were no menus anywhere.There were eating places travellers could go to centuries before that. The countryside was full of inns that would serve food. And there were taverns where one could get drinks. The rich could also eat special meals prepared by private cooks. But none of them could be called a “restaurant”.A man called Boulanger changed that. In 1765, he opened a place in Paris that sold soups(汤). On his sign he used the word "restaurant" to describe what he was selling. At that time, soups were considered something that could help "restore"(恢复)your health- in French the word "restore" is “restaurer”--- so he called the soups "restaurants". Soon, people started buying Boulanger's soups even when they were not ill. And over time, people began to use the word "restaurant" to refer to a place selling soup rather than the soup itself. More "restaurants" opened in France, and people began to buy soups more often.Later, restaurants in Paris began to serve other food besides soup. In the 1790s, menus started to appear. By the mid-1800s, there were many types of restaurants throughout the world. The United States offered coffee shops. Tea houses became popular throughout China. Paris created beautiful restaurants for the rich. The British began to copy the French, and the restaurant idea spread throughout the British Empire.Today cities are filled with all types of restaurants. Diners have millions of options from which to choose.31. What is the passage mainly about?A. How restaurants developedB. What made a good restaurant.C. Who created the first restaurantD. Why restaurants became popular.32. According to the first paragraph, what made restaurants different from earlier eating places?A. Restaurants only served foodB. Restaurants were more expensiveC. Restaurants were mainly in citiesD. Restaurants had a list of meal choices33. Who did Boulanger expect to come and eat at his restaurant?A. Rich peopleB. Sick people.C. Travellers.D. Workers.34. When it was first used. what did the word "restaurant" refer to?A. A person.B. A place.C. Illness.D. Soup.35. When did restaurants begin to grow internationally?A. In the 1600s.B. In the 1700s.C. In the 1800s.D. In the 1900s.（C）Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don't know is that junk(垃圾)has become a problem in outer space too.According to BBC News, there are more than 22, 000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes (望远镜). There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can't see.Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speeds fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle.To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth's atmosphere after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.Many scientists also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth's atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed.The problem is becoming more challenging because we're sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers,” says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space Researcher.“The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become,”he says.36. What does the underlined word “these” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Telescopes.B. Satellites.C. Pieces of space junk.D. BBC news reports.37. Why is space junk considered a problem?A. It buns up after it re-enters the atmosphereB. It often stops the view of telescopes on EarthC. It could force new space tools to travel at slower speedsD. It may crash into other space tools causing damage or deat38. Countries want future space tools to be able to fall back into the earth's atmosphere so that .A. the tools can be reused laterB. the tools don't become space junkC. the earth’s atmosphere can stay cleanD. the effects of space flight can be studied39. How do the Germans plan to deal with space junk?A. Catch it with nets.B. Use robots to collect it.C. Burn it in the earth's atmosphere.D. Send it further away from the earth.40.
