Somewhere down the mountain, some volunteer doctors were teaching medical skills to village nurses. Amy heard Betty drive off hours ago. “She should have taken me with her. She thinks I’m too young,” Amy thought. “But she’s wrong. I am already 15!”Amy carried the milk back to Mama, and then wandered up the road. Roy, a village boy, was trying to stand on a horse’s back. “No wonder they don’t trust kids with anything important,” Amy thought.She had just turned away when she heard a heavy fall and a few cries. Roy was on the ground. “Roy!” The kids nearby ran towards him. “Get Betty,” one said. Amy shook her head. “Betty’s gone to the city.”The kids didn’t know what to do. Amy ran to Roy and saw one of his legs out of shape. A brokenleg! She remembered what the first-aid book said about it.“Victor!” Amy called to one of the boys. “Go get Roy’s mama, and find someone with a truck.” She turned to the others. “Give me your shirts.

That’s an important skill.”Amy’s face turned red. “I was afraid...”Betty shook her head. “It’s OK for a nurse to be afraid, as long as she has a clear head.

His friends and family call him “Big Feng” because he is very tall and played basketball as a young man. But he is also big in a different way—he fights hard to protect China’s past. His real name is Feng Jicai and he has written many novels about life in China.Several years ago, however, he put down his pen for a while and began to protect the cultural relics （文化遗产）in Tianjin where he lived. Once someone asked him why he no longer wrote. He replied that at the moment he felt protecting cultural relics was more important.Feng loves his hometown. He believes that old things must be given a place next to new things, or people will soon forget their great past. He does not make speeches to get others to help him in his projects. Instead, he goes out and does what he can himself. If others follow him, so much the better. One of his biggest projects was to protect the oldest street in Tianjin. Along that street some shops had been in business for seven hundred years. Although the city government rebuilt this street, they did save its oldest building. Another project was more successful: he suggested the city government reserve（保留）some land in the centre of the city so it could not be sold for business. This area is very important for the history of Tianjin. It was here that the city was first built during the Song Dynasty Later many treasures were found here.To Feng, digging down into the earth is like reading a book page after page. Each dynasty found in the earth is like an interesting story. Not long ago, he and other writers and artists took photos of the old parts of Tianjin. The photos were put into a book which was very popular. The money from the book helps his projects. Once, an old man asked Feng to sign a book for him, saying he would give it to his grandson who was not yet born. Feng was glad to do it he knows that the past is not only for us to enjoy but also for the children of the future.1.

With two in five plant species at risk（风险） of disappearance, the Germplasm Bank of Wild Species（野生生物种质资源库）, or GBOWS, in Yunnan Province is racing against time to protect the nation’s plant species.Founded in 2007, GBOWS is a research and preservation（保存）bank for rare and endangered plants and animals. As the largest bank of wild species in Asia in terms of species, GBOWS has preserved 85,046 seeds from 10,601 species and 60, 262 biological samples（生物样本）of 2,203 animal species. The numbe r of seeds at GBOWS is close to that of the world’s biggest seed bank —the Millennium Seed Bank in the United Kingdom.So how does the bank work? Scientists collect the endangered and useful wild species and send them to the seed bank. Once the seeds arri ve at GBOWS, they’re dried and preserved in a special room. X-rays will make sure the seeds are undamaged and no insects are hidden inside after they are cleaned and separated（使……分离） from broken ones. The seeds are then frozen, preserved in glass bottles and placed in a huge room at -20 ℃ for long-term preservation. Each bottle has a barcode(条形码). By scanning it, scientists can view detailed information about the seeds inside.The bank works with many international organizations on collection, exchange and research. It has 2,176 sets of seeds from 45 countries and regions, with each set including thousands of seeds.“As China has rich and special plant and animal species, we plan to increase the number of our collections and make further research to protect endangered species,” says Li Pei, a worker at GBOWS. “If the world ends one day, these collections will bring hope of a new beginning to life on Earth.”1. Which of the following is correct?A．GBOWS has 10,601 animal species in total.B．All of the seeds at GBOWS are found in China.C．Other Asian banks have fewer wild species than GBOWS.D．The number of seeds at GBOWS is the largest in the world.2.

I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh word to anyone or about anyone.Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a huge garden. They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbors watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden. As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben's beans, we all wished we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard.Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighborhood over for an "all-day food fest （集会）". We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We didn't know what was about to take place.By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra, and squash. By 10:00 am, there was lots of laughter. We shared a lot of stories. By five o'clock,everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we played games. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty of the day,already packaged and frozen. What a delightful gift!Well, the point wasn't so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another's company. None of it would have happened if it had been for Happy and Ben's garden.

I hope it haunts your houses pleasantly.By Charles DickensOne Christmas Eve, old Scrooge and Bob were working busily in his office. It was a cold,foggy day. The fog was so thick that the houses opposite were like ghosts. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, but it was already quite dark."Merry Christmas, Uncle! God bless you!" cried a happy voice. It was Scrooge's nephew （侄子）."Bah!" said Scrooge "Humbug （骗人的话）!""Christmas is a humbug?! Surely you don't mean that, Uncle." said his nephew."I do," said Scrooge. "Merry Christmas! What reason have you got to be merry? You're poor."4"OK, then," replied the nephew cheerfully. "What reason have you got to be sad? You are rich. Don't be angry, Uncle!" said his nephew."What else can I be?" answered the uncle, "I live in a world of fools! Merry Christmas!What's Christmas time to you? It's a time for paying bills without money. It's a time for finding yourself a year older, but not richer. Everyone who goes around saying "Merry Christmas"should have his tongue cut out. Yes, he should!""Uncle! Please don't say that!" said the nephew. "I've always thought of Christmas time as a good time, a kind, and a charitable （慈善的） and happy time. And so, Uncle, Christmas has never put any gold or silver in my pocket, but I think it has done me good. And it will do me good. I'm sure."Bob, standing in the corner of the room, applauded. He realized his mistake very soon, and went quickly back to his work, but Scrooge had heard him."One more sound from you, Bob Cratehit," said Scrooge, "and you'll celebrate Christmas by losing your job!""Don't be angry with him, Uncle. Come and have dinner with us tomorrow." said Scrooge's nephew."No," said Scrooge."I'm sorry that you don't want to celebrate Christmas. But I do. So a Merry Christmas,Uncle!""Good afternoon!" said Scrooge."And a Happy New Year!" said his nephew."Good afternoon!" said Scrooge again.His nephew left the room.

People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often. For example, someone might say that he tries to avoid eating sweets because they are unhealthy, but will eat chocolate "once in a blue moon". Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say "I visit the shore once in a blue moon." While many people use this phrase, not everyone knows the meaning behind it.The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue. This is just an expression fact, the phrase "blue moon" has to do with the shape of the moon, not the color.As the moon travels around the earth, it appears to change shape. We associate names with certain shapes of the moon. For example, when we can see a small part of the moon is called a crescent moon. A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip of a fingernail （指甲尖）.When we cannot see the moon at all, it is called a new moon. When we can see the whole moon is called a full moon. Usually, there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes,however will be two full moons in one month. When this happens, the second full moon is called a blue moon".Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see, a blue moon every rare event. This fact has led people to use the expression "once in a blue moon" to other very rare events in their lives.5 A.B.Which of the following would be a good example of using the phrase "once in a bluemoon"?Simon often tells jokes.

She looked outside and walked back，because it was so dark that she was scared.Her mother said，“Don’t be afraid，honey. Take courage!”“What’s courage?” she asked，running to her mother’s bed.“Courage is the brave breath，” her mother answered.“Mum，do you have courage?”“Certainly!”The girl held out her hands，saying，“Mum，please blow some of your courage breath to me.”After her mother blew out two mouthfuls of breath into her little cold hands，the little girl held her hands nervously ，afraid that the “breath of courage” would run away. Then，she walked out of her bedroom towards the bathroom with nothing to fear.Her mother said to herself，“ It will be nice if someone can blow some kind of “breath” to me. Then I can hold it in my hands too when I feel afraid or lost.”In fact，mostly，what we are afraid of is nothing but the fear in our mind. Who we should beat against is nobody but ourselves.1．（小题1）The girl woke up in the midnight to_____________.A．watch TV B．go to the bathroomC．have some food D．drink water2．（小题2）The girl walked back because____________.A．the bathroom was far awayB．her mother wouldn’t go with herC．she was too afraid of the darkD．the bedroom door was locked3．（小题3）What did the girl ask her mother to do?A．To blow some courage breath.B．To go to the bathroom with her.C．To cook some food for her.D．To tell her some funny stories.4．（小题4）To keep “mother’s breath” from running away，the girl __________.A．held her own breathB．talked to her motherC．held her little handsD．ran to her bedroom quickly5．（小题5）The writer mainly wants to tell us that______________A．adults are always brave enoughB．children learn to be brave quicklyC．the fear in mind is the real problemD．mothers can deal with anything with breathB14、In Europe, small cars have always been more popular than large cars. In the United States, large cars and midsize cars are more popular than smaller cars. As a result, European automakers used to make different kinds of small cars while American automakers used to build bigger, heavier cars. However, these days, automakers in both America and Europe produce cars of different sizes. This is because most automakers export their cars all over the world.The price of gasoline (汽油)is one reason for differences in car choices. Since gasoline is more expensive in Europe, many Europeans want smaller, lighter cars that will travel a long way on a gallon（加仑）of gasoline.Other reasons also enter into the big or little car decision. Many European cities have narrow, winding（弯曲的）streets. In these cities a small car is easier to control than a large one.For a long time, few Americans bought small cars. Instead they chose large cars, because these roomy cars were more comfortable for large families and long trips. Some people also liked the powerful engines（发动机）that large cars had. Since gasoline was cheap, drivers did not mind that the large cars used a lot of gasoline.But in the 1970s, there were gasoline shortages in the United States. The price of gasoline went up. Though large cars were still more popular than smaller cars, sales of small cars increased. Some people also bought small cars because these cars caused less air pollution than larger cars.Today, Americans' car preferences are still changing. Though Americans are still buying many small cars, the fastest growing sales are for certain kinds of large cars. These types of cars are called minivans and sport utility vehicles(SUV). They are very popular today. But of course, that could change tomorrow.1．In the 1970s, .A．large cars were less popular than smaller cars.B．European cars finally came to the United States.C．the price of gasoline went up in the United States.D．people in the United States stopped buying small cars.2．Which of the following does the article lead you to believe?A．Sport utility vehicles small cars.B．Minivans are becoming less popular.C．European car companies sell many cars in America.D．Cars with powerful engines caused less air pollution.3．What does “roomy” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．having much space B．having little spaceC．having a large room D．having a small room4．What can we infer（推断）from the article?A．Small cars are better than large cars.B．The price of gasoline is always rising.C．Large cars will always be popular in the United States.D．People like to have different kinds of cars to choose from.C15、Every place you leave becomes a memory. Even if you return to visit，in your mind it’s as it was when you left.I consider New Y ork City my second hometown. You fight your way into New York City. It isn’t easy. It isn’t cheap. Itisn’t so friendly. So when I got to Helsinki，the capital of Finland，I was surprised at how easy it was. People were friendly and nice. They are curious about what I thought of Finland.Except the coffee and the cost of living，Helsinki and New York don’t have much in common，but I was born in the US Midwest，which was heavily influenced by North Europe. So the life of Finland seemed familiar to that of the US. Still，I missed New Y ork，I visited it last year，and I went to my old coffee room，still in the same place. Although it was 2014，my mind insisted that it was 2007 and I had never left. The waiter looked at me silently，reaching for the same size cup and pouring the same type of coffee I always got. Same corner，same waiter，same coffee.To the waiter，he guessed maybe I moved to another neighborhood. He wouldn’t guess from my appearance that I haven’t even been in the country. He didn’t find that there was anything different until I opened my mouth. It was something I said，I’m sure. He mistook me for one of the tourists who got lost on their way from Times Square.In my mind，this is my home. It was the place when I dreamed of my childhood，long after I left it; and now I am the same as the other tourists with the packbag.1．Helsinki is in __________.A．Finland B．AmericaC．New York D．China2．Compared with Helsinki，the life in New York City is _________.A．easy B．cheap C．difficult D．nice3．The writer’s real place of birth is _________.A．New York City B．HelsinkiC．Finland D．the US Midwest4．How long had the writer been away from New Y ork before he visited it last year?A．5 B．7 C．9 D．105．What made the coffee guy think the writer to be a tourist?A．What he looked. B．What he wore.C．What he said. D．What he did.D16、阅读理解1．How many holiday ideas does http：//usaholidays．com offer?A．2．B．100 ．C．3．D．4．5．What is covered in the National Scenic Byways Program?A．Exciting cycling．B．Memorable roads．C．Photos provided．D．SeaWorld visit．6．Which of the following is the best website for reviews of hotels?A．Http：//byways．org．B．Http：//usaholidays．com．C．Http：//www．oyster．com．D．Http：// seaworldparks．com．E17、“I had a Welsh speaking test. I'd had to memorize a paragraph in front of the whole class. I just couldn’t do it,” says 13-year-old Mary. “I pretended to be ill.” But Mary did not enjoy her day off. “I watched TV all day — it was boring. I wished I had gone to school.”Mary’s story is not unusual in Britain. According to the latest government figures, pupil absences are rising, despite schools_________on truancy (逃学)．Philippa James, a PhD researcher a t Cardiff University’s school of social sciences, thinks she knows why: “The more schools improve methods of detection（检查）, the more children work out better methods of deception.” Teenagers told her it was now harder to skip a single lesson, so they’d mis s whole days to avoid being caught.For several years, James has researched student truancy of 60 teenagers, aged 13 and 14, including Mary, to see how the teenagers truant, for how long, and why.Through online conversations and face-to-face interviews, s he discovered that most truancy was “a response to factors within the school”. Truants are not necessarily less advanced or less intelligent. They complained of teachers who failed to engage them, and of “boring” lessons. “Many truants really enjoy school and believe in education, but drop out when aspects of it were ineffective.” James says.The views of students like Adam, who believes that skipping lessons has little impact on his schooling, were common. “I only take-off for a lesson, or a couple of days. It doesn’t affect my education,” he told James.James’ study concludes that schools need to address the question of why pupils want to leave in the first place. “Pupils need help from the start.” she says. “It’s a two-way process – schools must be responsive. We need to look at the reasons for truancy rather than the number, so that instead of walking away from school, students have the skills and chances to talk through problems and make a change.”1．What is one of the reasons for school truancy accordin g to James’ study?A．Truants are fallen behind in their studies.B．Truants have no interest in school subjects.C．Truants have more interesting things to do.D．Truants are not satisfied with the teachers.2．The underlined phrase “taking a hard line” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to“”.A．experiencing a problem with B．having a strict attitude towardsC．finding it difficult to solve D．having little success with3．By citing Adam's remark, James wants to show that .A．school education is not efficient and needs improvementB．it’s a popular belief that occasional truancy won't cause much harmC．school truancy is becoming more serious and needs more concernD．even good students may sometimes need a break from school4．What is Philippa James’ suggestion to schools?A．Schools should solve the problem of teachers.B．Schools should be more active in helping beginner truants.C．Schools should have a better control of hidden truants.D．Schools should find out who truant and how they it.F18、I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, andmy mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, andsome people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I wassaying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I wasgoing to see-the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country Iwas leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism (乐观主义), but the idea did notcome to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost-having to study in threeschools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and Igot used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule：Almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.1．How did the author get to know America?A．From her relatives. B．From her mother.C．From books and pictures. D．From radio programs.2．The writer felt_______ upon leaving for America.A．worried B．upset C．amazed D．excited3．For the first two years in New York, the author .A．often lost her wayB．did not think about her futureC．studied in three different schoolsD．got on well with her stepfather4．What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?A．She worked as a translator.B．She attended a lot of job interviews.C．She paid telephone bills for her family.D．She helped her family with her English. .5．The author believes that .A．her future will be free from troublesB．it is difficult to learn to become patientC．there are more good things than bad thingsD．good things will happen if one keeps tryingⅤ.书面表达19、写作身为中学生，关爱儿童是我们应尽的义务。

For the past few years, this has been a very successful charity event and most of the students have taken part in it. Each school does its food drives a bit 3 . However, most of the time the food drives are set up in a similar style.In my school it usually lasts for 4 weeks. Most of the time, students will bring the food 5 home. The food 6 for a long period of time, such as canned goods and pastas. We 7 organize activities outside the school. Some students go door to door around their neighborhood asking 8 people are willing to donate some food. Some set up donation boxes in churches and 9 areas such as stores or cinemas.

I was surprised to see him wearing his hat backwards. It looked funny.for the cattle that had to be filled every day. Since it took a long time to finish the work, he would turn the water on and then go about doing other things like cleaning the barn or feeding the cattle, which usually cost him twenty minutes or even more time. The danger, of course, was that if he forgot to turn the water off, the tank would overflow and water would be wasted, which would make a mess.Then he told me the reason why he had his hat turned around. When he finished other work and began to take off his work clothes, he would notice as he removed his hat that the visor (帽舌) was not where it was supposed to be. This would remind him that the water was still running. Then he would go back to the barn and turn it off.I have seen my dad develop many other systems over the years. And I will never forget how helpful and valuable they are. Some may have even been life-saving.Sometimes, people may forget some things. So they will easily make mistake though they may try their best. Using some good methods can help them operate more effectively. In order not to blame others or yourself for mistakes, you’d better look for some ways, whether they are funny or not, as long as they will help you in achieving what you truly wish to do. This could be utility, and as simple as a checklist. Now I’ve used a lot of them, such as putting my car keys in the same place every time. It could be having someone check your work and it could also be a computer program that helps to find out whether your calculations are correct.1．The author found his father’s behavior funny because__________.A．he had never been to the barn before B．his father’s hat was different fr om othersC．the horses played some tricks D．his father wore the hat in a strange way2．What would the author’s father NOT do in the barn according to the passage?A．Clean the barn B．Feed the chickenC．Give food to the cows D．Fill the large water tank3．The word “utility” probably means “__________” in the passage.A．practical B．difficult C．meaningless D．avoidable4．What can we know about the author’s father?A．His job was to develop new systems in the barn.B．The systems he invented were always very useful.C．He developed as many systems as possible to help people.D．He always taught the author how to make proper checklists.5．The best title of the passage could be “__________”.A．My Funny Dad B．Knowledge in BarnB14、Are there some days when you don’t want to take a bath? An invention called DryBathcan solve your problem---you can get clean by using it without taking a bath!A few years ago, Ludwick Marishane and his friend enjoyed a day at the beach. At the end ofthe day Ludwick’s friend was so tired that he didn’t want to take a bath. Then an idea came intoLudwick’s mind---why not invent something to help people get clean without taking a bath?Ludwick ran home, did some research (on his mobile phone because he didn’t have a computer)and over time invented DryBath.During his research, Ludwick also learned that over 2 billion people in the world livewithout improved sanitation (卫生设施). That’s about one third of the world’s population.Ludwick wants to help not only his “lazy” friend, but also people who can’t easily get clean.Staying clean can help people keep in good health.Some hotels are also interested in DryBath. It can save a lot of water and help save theenvironment, too.What does Ludwick think of his invention? “DryBath is a win-win situation. I get to save theworld and make a lot of money!” he says.1．Ludwick got the idea to invent Drybath_________________ .A．from his need B．from his researchC．from his friend’s experience D．from people’s life2．Bath is a win-win situation .The win-win situation means______________ .A．making money and protecting the environmentB．the hotels and travelersC．both Ludwick and his friendD．bath and health3．Why are some hotels interested in DryBath?A．Because they want to put ads on it. B．Because they hope to attract more guests.C．Because it is cheap and convenient. D．Because it can save water and environment.4．From the passage ，we can know that Ludwick is__________.A．creative B．strong C．lazy D．funnC15、Do you often listen to music at loud volumes（音量）? You should know that this habit is bad for yourOver 1 billion young people have problems in listening because they listen at loud volumes for a long time, WHO said. Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes can harm your hearing.The United Nations has standards for safe listening. It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 decibels (分贝) for eight hours or 100 dB for 15 minutes. The sound of a busy road is about 85 dB and the sound of a rock concert can be about 100 dB．Loud noise is harmful to the inner ear. Most of us are born with about 16,000 hair cells (听毛细胞) in our inner ears. These cells detect (探测) sounds. However, listening to loud noise for a long time can make these cells work too hard and make some of them die. This is why people have hearing loss.Some people might think that their music isn’t all that loud. But this can depend on where you are. For example, if you are in a noisy place like the subway, you might turn up your music too loud without realizing it. Later, when you listen to it at the same volume in a quiet place, you might feel uncomfortable.WHO said the “safe level” for most sound is below 80 decibels for up to 40 hours a week. A level of 80 decibels is roughly equal to the noise of a subway.1．According to the story, WHO suggests that it is NOT safe to _____.A．listen to music every day B．watch TV for over an hourC．listen to loud sounds for long D．go to a rock concert2．The sound level of a busy road is about _____.A．80 dB B．85 dBC．100 dB D．4 dB3．Why can listening to loud music cause hearing problems?A．Because it puts our brains under great pressure.B．Because it can cause hair cells in the inner ear to die.C．Because it prevents our ears from resting.D．Because it allows people to get used to listening to loud sounds.4．What can we get from the last paragraph?A．People love to listen to loud music.B．It’s reasonable to listen to loud music in some places.C．People are likely to listen to music on the subway.D．People don’t always realize how loud their music is.D16、My friends and I had just finished lunch at a hotel when it started to rain heavily. When it became lighter, I decidedto get my car which was parked at my office three streets away.My friends ar gued that I shouldn’t go, mainly because I was seven months pregnant (怀孕的) then. I promised that I’d be very careful. One of them wanted to come with me but I asked her to stay with another friend who needed help with her baby.I walked out of the hotel and started making my way to the car. At the crossing, a black car stopped and a man came out with an umbrella. Before I knew what was happening, he walked right through me and told me he’d escort (护送) me. Although I refused, he insisted (坚持) that he would.During our walk, he kept telling me to walk slower, as the ground was wet. When we got to the car-park, I thanked him and he went away. I did not get his name and can hardly recognize (认出) him now. Did he stop for me? I’ll never know. So how did I pay it forward? I was at home when I noticed two Indian workers walking in the heavy rain. They were probably on their way to the working place near my home____________They were surprised by my action. They were very grateful to me, probably wondered why a stranger was offering such kindness. I was so relaxed and happy that day.1．What did the writer do after she had just had lunch?A．She took a walk in the rain B．She argued with her friendC．She returned to the hotel D．She decided to get her car2．How did the writer feel when a stranger insisted escorting her?A．angry B．surprised C．happy D．sorry3．What is the probably the missing line in Paragraph 5?A．I laughed at them standing in the rainB．We greeted each other with a smileC．I went out and passed them my umbrellaD．I saw a car coming towards them without stopping.4．What’s the best title for the passage?A．Unforgettable rainy days B．An unknown manC．Good turns worth another D．A beautiful umbrellaE17、Are there too many kids obsessed(着迷的) with texting?Texting Nonstop!Yes, I do think kids are too obsessed with texting. Many kids I know can be in the same room or even sitting next to each other, but they text each other rather than actually talk with friends, it's hard to get their attention when they aretexting. People seem to like to text more than talk.---RileyResponsible TextingNo, I don't think too many kids are obsessed with texting. Sometimes kids might just need some time alone on the phone. They probably just need to talk to their friends! I believe most kids are responsible and know when to stop texting.--- EllaGuilty (羞愧的) About Texting Too MuchKids are really obsessed with texting. When I text my friends, almost all of them answer in less than a minute. Some of my friends even get their phones taken away for being on them too much. I see my friends most of my day at soccer time or at school, and even I am guilty of texting them several hours a day when I am home. Sometimes it' s better to spend time outdoors and with your family rather than with your phone.---TomGet physical Training ---Get off the phone!A lot of my friends, as soon as they got a smart phone, texted or got online constantly. Spending that much time on a screen is not healthy for you o r your brain. Personally, I’d rather spend time outside doing sports with my friends than on the phone.

He studies long hours, gets very little sleep, so he drinks a lot of coffee—anywhere from five to six cups a day. Recently, Adam felt that drinking thus much coffee was making it hard for him to sleep at all. He also began having problems with his concentration(注意力), and complained of stomachaches. Adam’s doctor made this suggestions: stop drinking coffee altogether.When Adam got up on October 3, he began his day without his morning coffee. By 11:00 a.m., Adam was in a terrible mood. He was tired and had a headache. At 11:30, he had a meeting with his student advisor. In the meeting, he found it almost impossible to continue. What was going on?Caffeine, a chemical found in coffee, was most likely the reason for how Adam felt. Caffeine is a stimulant that boosts(增加) energy levels and improves concentration- but only for a short time. Lowering caffeine consumption(减少摄取咖啡因) often makes a drop in blood pressure and the result is a “coffee headache”. People who stop drinking coffee often say they feel tired and moody, and find it hard to focus.The good news is that these feeling usually pass after four and five days. During this time, doctors suggested taking some aspirin for the headache. So, if Adam can wait, in less than a week, he may be feeling much better.1．We learn from the reading Adam ▲ .A．does researches on caffeineB．can never be feeling betterC．still drinks 5 to 6 cups of coffee a dayD．had some problems because of coffee2．How may people feel when they stop drinking coffee?A．healthier B．uneasy C．energetic D．awaken3．The good news shows that ▲ .A．coffee can never cause headachesB．aspirin can stop us thinking coffeeC．more and more people will give up coffeeD．Adam will be better if he stops drinking coffeeⅤ.书面表达19、书面表达（15分）前些年，因为搀扶摔倒老人而惹麻烦的事件偶有发生，引发了人们的争论。

The boy looked at me questioningly，but he picked up the violin.Going out to the living room，he suddenly saw on the wall my huge color photo I performed in the Sydney Opera House.He trembled for a moment and ran out without looking back.I was sure that the boy had understood what happened because no one would decorate the living room with the housekeeper's photo.A few years later，at a music competition of senior high school students in Melbourne，I was invited to judge the final.Finally，a violin player called Merritt won the first prize with his strength!After the award，Merritt ran to me holding a violin box，excited，asked，"Mr.Brian，do you still know me？You have given me a violin which I have been treasuring until today!Today，I can give back this violin to you without regret..."

Do you choose to live a happy life or a bittery one?In my opinion, happiness is for everyone. 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 havebig 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 a revolving (旋转) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.1．Happiness is for ．A．those who have large and beautiful housesB．those who have carsC．those who have lots of moneyD．all people2．When you do something wrong, .A．people around you will help youB．you will have no chance to challenge yourselfC．your classmates will laugh at youD．you will be happy3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．When you get success, your friends will be very proud of you.B．Y ou can get help from others when you make mistakes.C．Y ou can still be a happy person even if you have little money.D．All of the above..4．We say “Happiness is not the same as money.” because.A．money always brings happinessB．money doesn’t always bring happinessC．everything can be bought with moneyD．only rich doesn’t always bring happiness5．Which is the best title of the passage?A．Happiness B．Happy and LuckyC．Do Something Good to Others D．Life and SuccessB14、Wonderful Events1．Who can NOT go to the horse race？A．A single person．B．A couple．C．Children．D．The sweet heart．2．People can see the photo show at_______．A．Grandview Mall B．City Art MuseumC．Racetrack D．Country Club3．What can you do if you only have time between 5 p．m．and 6 p．m on Saturday？A．Go shopping．B．Go to see the photo show．C．Go to the dance with your sweet heart．D．Go to watch the horse race．4．How much will Mr. and Mrs. Smith pay if they want to go to the dance party？A．15 dollars．B．25 dollars．C．20%-40% off．D．For free．5．Where can you see the above advertisements？A．In a book．B．In a magazine．C．In a newspaper．D．On TV．C15、April will bring a new product – the Apple Watch – into the market. Last week, the watch was firstly introduced by Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. The price of the watch will differ from $349 to $1,099, depending on its size, strap and whetherit is a sports or regular version.Apple engineers and designers have put in a lot of thought and hard work into creating this "small screen" on your wrist(手腕). The "sensor" on the screen not only detects your finger, but knows the difference between when you are tapping, and when you are pressing harder.The watch also has “haptic feedback(触觉反馈)”. You can send personal messages to your friend, such as drawing a star or a special sign with your fingers, or tapping the watch, say 3 times, and your friend will receive those taps on their wrist.Besides telling the time, the watch will use 'bluetooth' to connect with your iPhone and show calls or text messages that come in.According to Tim Cook, the watch may open up a whole new area of applications that we had never thought of. Some car factories like BMW have developed an app that allows its car owners to open their cars with the watch. A 'Hotels' app may allow you to open the door to your hotel room without worrying about losing the smart-card. And finally, even airlines are jumping in--passengers may be able to simply wave their wrist to check into their flight.The biggest use of the watch, however, is as your personal fitness coach. The watch can measure your pulse (heartbeat) using a sensor at the bottom of the watch. It also has the same "accelerometer" as your iPhone, so it knows when you are moving, and also how much you are walking or running. It will remind you if you have been sitting for too long without much activity.Many stores are planning to stop selling the Nike, Jawbone and FitBit devices(设备) to welcome the Apple Watch. Will Apple Watch really replace these devices and make fitness much more fun?1．We can learn from the passage that the Apple Watch ________.A．is designed by Tim CookB．was brought into the market last weekC．sells at different prices for different coloursD．will come into the market this coming April2．With apple watch, you can ________.A．develop your own personal appB．connect your iphone with your ipadC．receive personal messages from your friends’ iphoneD．send personal messages to your friends’ apple watches3．Many stores are planning to stop selling FitBit devices because ________.A．all of the devices are sold outB．they cannot make fitness funC．they want to welcome the Apple WatchD．Apple Watch can replace FitBit devices completelyD16、It's not easy to be an astronaut's son. Everybody expects you to be special or perfect. I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me. I mean he's so special and so good at everything he does. Even in middle school he was class monitor and captain of the football team.Well, to be honest, I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special-like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star. I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father's Day writing competition for the whole school. "I hope we have a winner right here in my class."When I got home, I started to think about what to write. My father is an astronaut. No, :I wouldn't start like that. That was the way others saw him. How did I see my father? Hmm...I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream. I remembered how he hugged(拥抱) me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car. Yes, these were the things I was going to write. To me, he wasn't just aworld-famous astronaut. He was my dad.My parents and l went to school Thursday night. There were so many people in the big hall! My dad looked at me, and I shrugged(耸肩).The third prize was announced and it was not me. I was relieved and disappointed at the same time. The second prize was announced. It was me.I went up to the stage and read what I had written, "My father's son". When I finished, the people stood up and cheered. I saw my father blowing his nose. Tears (眼泪) were running down my mother's face. Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my should er.“Son, this is the proudest moment of my life."It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I'll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but it was enough just to be my father's son.1．The writer's dream is________________________ .A．to become an astronaut's sonB．to have a class monitorC．to meet the captain of the football teamD．to do something special2．The teacher hoped to_______________________ .A．save the child from a burning buildingB．buy his father a gift for Father's DayC．have the competition winner in his classD．take part in the speech competition3．What did the writer probably write about?A．It was very interesting to be an astronaut's son.B．His father was special and could do everything well.C．His father's experiences as a very famous astronaut.D．The unforgettable time he spent with his father.4．Why did the writer's parents go to school Thursday night?A．Because the result of the competition would be announced.B．Because they were asked to give a speech to the students.C．Because there was an important football match at school.D．Because the writer did something wrong at school.5．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．The writer was very disappointed at the result.B．The writer's achievement made his father feel proud.C．The writer's mother cried because he didn't win first prize.D．The writer's father had a sore throat because he talked too much.E17、In Europe, small cars have always been more popular than large cars. In the United States, large cars and midsize cars are more popular than smaller cars. As a result, European automakers used to make different kinds of small cars while American automakers used to build bigger, heavier cars. However, these days, automakers in both America and Europe produce cars of different sizes. This is because most automakers export their cars all over the world.The price of gasoline (汽油)is one reason for differences in car choices. Since gasoline is more expensive in Europe,many Europeans want smaller, lighter cars that will travel a long way on a gallon（加仑）of gasoline.Other reasons also enter into the big or little car decision. Many European cities have narrow, winding（弯曲的）streets. In these cities a small car is easier to control than a large one.For a long time, few Americans bought small cars. Instead they chose large cars, because these roomy cars were more comfortable for large families and long trips. Some people also liked the powerful engines（发动机）that large cars had. Since gasoline was cheap, drivers did not mind that the large cars used a lot of gasoline.But in the 1970s, there were gasoline shortages in the United States. The price of gasoline went up. Though large cars were still more popular than smaller cars, sales of small cars increased. Some people also bought small cars because these cars caused less air pollution than larger cars.Today, Americans' car preferences are still changing. Though Americans are still buying many small cars, the fastest growing sales are for certain kinds of large cars. These types of cars are called minivans and sport utility vehicles(SUV). They are very popular today. But of course, that could change tomorrow.1．In the 1970s, .A．large cars were less popular than smaller cars.B．European cars finally came to the United States.C．the price of gasoline went up in the United States.D．people in the United States stopped buying small cars.2．Which of the following does the article lead you to believe?A．Sport utility vehicles small cars.B．Minivans are becoming less popular.C．European car companies sell many cars in America.D．Cars with powerful engines caused less air pollution.3．What does “roomy” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．having much space B．having little spaceC．having a large room D．having a small room4．What can we infer（推断）from the article?A．Small cars are better than large cars.B．The price of gasoline is always rising.C．Large cars will always be popular in the United States.D．People like to have different kinds of cars to choose from.F18、One afternoon, I went to pick up my mother from work.

AOne day, a typist named Miss Leeson came to an apartment building looking for a room to rent. She didn’t have much money, so she was shown the cheapest room in the building, which was all the way at the top floor. The room was tiny and dark, except for a skylight in the ceiling. It wasn’t luxury, but she was thankful to find something that she could afford on her modest income. The young typist, taking a positive attitude, accepted her new home. “I’ll take it!” she said, sitting down on the small bed.Miss Leeson was very charming, and the other tenants (房客) grew quite fond of her, Every night after work, all of the tenants would gather together and sit on the stoop to chat. One such night, Miss Leeson pointed out a star as she looked up to the night sky. She said that every night, when she went to bed and looked through her skylight, she could see it. She called the star Billy Jackson.“You ought to see it from my room,” said Miss Leeson. “At night, my room is like a deep, dark coal mine, and it makes Billy Jackson look like the big diamond pin that Night fastens her kimono with.”Times soon became hard for Miss Leeson, as she was able to find less and less work. She went from office to office every day, and more often than not, she was told that there was no need for a typist. She began to struggle to afford food and rent.One night when she came home, she was exhausted and weak--she hadn’t eaten in quite some time. She lay upon her little bed and, looking up, lifted two fingers to her lips to blow a kiss to her Billy Jackson. "Goodbye, Billy,"she whispered weakly. She thanked the star for always being there to comfort her in the darkness. Then, she closed her eyes.The next morning, when the tenants found what had happened, they called for an ambulance. Luckily, after some immediate treatment, the ambulance physician--Dr. William Jackson--said that she would recover. Billy Jackson, it seemed, truly was her lucky star.26.
