It was a rule. But Abby put the mouse into her sock in her bag secretly without telling her dad when they arrived at the airport, they had to be checked by the X-ray machine. Abby felt her legs shaking and her heart beating fast. Unexpectedly, they passed.○3On the plane, Abby opened up the bag after her dad and the woman next to her fell asleep. Tobias was excited to jump out from the bag. He landed upside down on the woman's knee. The woman screamed loudly so that many people on the plane heard the voice. At that moment, Abby put Tobias into her bag quickly. But her dad didn't know at all but slept.④After they landed, Abby' s dad ticked(打勾) NO on a paper to: “ Are you bringing any live animals into the country?" But a man at the X-ray machine asked Abby to open her bag. Abby had to open and pulled out the sock. Then the man led Abby and her father into a small, dark room. There were some people in uniforms. Tobias was in the sock on the desk. One police officer talked to Abby's dad. “ This is very serious,” he said, “You have tried to smuggle(偷运) an animal into this country and you have lied on the paper.”“It's my fault, "Abby said in a small voice,“Dad didn't know I had Tobias. "The police officer stared at her, "What's your name? Have you ever been in trouble before? "Abby opened her mouth, but no sound came out. At last, her dad had to pay a big fine(罚款) for what Abby did. It cost a lot of money. And Tobias had to go into quarantine(隔离检疫) for six months.○5It must be a real lesson for Abby.

What lesson can we learn from Abby’s experience?A. We should take care of our pets.B. We should obey the public rules.C. We mustn’t tell our parents secrets.D. We mustn’t take pets to the airport.CLoneliness, a natural feeling, is not something most people want to experience. When you feel lonely as a result of missing a loved one or a place, or preparing for a time spent away from yourfriends and family here are some suggestions for you to avoid it.Focus on your health.Studies have shown that poor sleep, lack of physical activity and unhealthy food can let you feel tired and sad, causing the feeling of loneliness. Try to get eight hours of sleep every night, try to take part in at least 30 minutes of physical activity, and don't eat junk food. Eating more fruit and vegetables will also help.Bring an old hobby back to life. It's much more difficult to feel lonely if you're actively enjoying an activity, especially one that you are good at. If yo u’ve got a hobby that you love, try to spare time for your hobby even if you are busy, such as reading, playing a sport, cooking, painting. Avoid staying at home all day long. Spending your time in nature will probably improve your feelings and help you get over loneliness. Sunshine makes you feel happier and less focused on your loneliness. You can go hiking, go boating or go on a bike ride if you are not interested in just walking around. You may go for a coffee with your friends or even make big plans so that you have events to look forward to. First, you can think about the possible activities you might want to take part in. Then, spend a few days planning out the event, so that you are fully prepared and stress-free. If possible, include other people in your plan to make your activity more interesting. All in all, it seems that facing your own loneliness is the first step to avoid loneliness. Do your best to follow the things above. It takes efforts, but it is worth your try.23. Why do people feel lonely?A. Because they live in a poor place.B. Because they miss their loved people.C. Because they like to experience that feeling.D. Because they don't want to stay with their friends and family.24. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following may lead to loneliness?A. Junk food.B. Enough sleepC. Physical activity.D. Fruit and vegetables.25. What can you learn from paragraph 4?A. Spending time planning the event will make us feel stressed?B. Spending time at home alone can help avoid loneliness.C. Enjoying the sunshine and we can feel less lonely.D. It’s impossible to meet friends often.26. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. Scientific reports about loneliness.B. Tips for choosing a suitable hobby.C. Suggestions on planning out events.D. Advice on staying away from loneliness.DIt’s a pity that deaf people, or those who have hearing problems, can't enjoymusic. But now a vibrating (振动的)suit brings them hope — it can allow themto “feel" music through their skin, rather than hear it.The special suit is able to translate music into some vibrating pulses (节拍).And the users can choose different levels.Chase Burton, 33, a deaf film-maker from Texas, US, has been testing out the suit for four years. He understands that a deaf person's experience with music is very different. “When I was a kid, I'd lie on the floor so I could feel the vibrations from my brother's music playing." Burton told CNN. Now when he wears the vibrating suit, he says the sound hits different parts of his body. "Maybe it will shake me strongly in my knees first. And then I’ll start to feel thevibrations in my back. And then I’ll feel some pulsations." Burton said.The designers have been working on helping a large number of deaf people to have a chance of a musical experience. In 2016, some prototype (样品)suits were tested at a Lady Gaga concert in the US. The suit was also tested at a different concert in Las Vegas in 2019. It was given to 150 audiences (听众)at the concert, where half the audience members were deaf and half could hear. At the same time, the company has been improving the technology and planned to put it into the market soon. And the final goal of the company is to make the technology available to all.“We truly think that anything that has an audio element (元素)can also have a vibrational experience associated with it as well,” the company's talent and business development director, Jordan Richardson, told CNN.27. How does the vibrating suit help deaf people?A. By improving their hearing.B. By changing the loudness of sound.C. By turning music into some vibrating pulses.D. By sending music to their ears easily and quickly.28. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The suit.B. The music.C. The concert.D. The technology.29. Why does the writer mention Burton’s experience?A. Because he wants to introduce different ways people enjoy music.B. Because he wants to tell how different it is for a deaf person to enjoy music.C. Because he wants to show the sadness for not having the technology earlier.D. Because he wants to call on designers to make better products for deaf people.30. What’s the best title of this passage?A. Listen to the “Suit”B. Wear a Suitable SuitC. Music Makes Life ColorfulD. The Development of Science第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面第31-35题的有关内容。

Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plane. So airlines offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree?To solve this problem , airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they don’t want to lose customers.However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude( 海拔)we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure( 气压) reduces one third of thesensibility(感觉)of our taste buds( 味蕾).So our taste buds become senseless. The sad face, however, is that our noses don’t know it.All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy( 辛辣)food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless.Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.Though scientists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they can’t deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them.1.In Paragraph2,“this problem” means _______.A.passengers stay long in the planeB.food on the plane tastes badC.passengers have no food to eatD.food on the plane is expensive2.Why do scientists feel it hard to made food on the plane taste good?A.The volun teers don’t know about food taste.B.The volunteers don’t understand them.C.They can’t find enough volunteers.D.They can’t deal with the special environment successfully.3.What is the best title of the passage?A.Taste of Airplane FoodB.Airplane TravelC.Scientific Research on NosesD.The Change in Air Pressure.B14、阅读下面的图表,做两个小题。

Walking in cool rushing water to catch the small, silver fish was a fun chance on a hot summer's day. Before setting out for the river in their neighborhood, however, children first had to look for a bag. Both boys and girls loved this outdoor activity a lot.While reaching the side of the river, the children pulled off their shoes and socks and put their feet first into the cold water. Walking carefully in the water, they looked for the right place where the minnows flashed (闪光). Catching minnows was very easy if two children worked together. Taking two corners of the bag, each child stood in the water and slowly lowered the bag until it was at the bottom of the river. Then, standing very still (静止的), the children waited for the fish in the river to do normal activity. The children would again get a corner of the bag in each hand and raise the bag straight up quickly, keeping it as level as possible. Lots of tiny silver fish would cover the bag.The joy of catching minnows is that, once caught, the fish are thrown back into the water to continue their natural lives.

When Helen,11,took her cake out of the oven,she was disappointed to find that it was flat as a board.Her father told her about how he accidentally made cookies with garlic powder instead of powdered ginger(姜)when he was twelve.Then they worked together a few times to find out what had gone wrong with her cake.Beyond the practical skills,cooking builds character.It encourages kids to work with others.It also encourages them to be open to foods they might not have tried.Jad,11,had never eaten quinoa(藜麦)before testing a recipe with quinoa in it.His parents reported that he was so excited about this new ingredient that he cooked it for his family the next night.Of course,the best part of cooking with kids isn't the skills above.It's the memories you make together in the kitchen.This year,Olive and his family have already done a lot of holiday baking, including their favorite chocolate-chip cookies.They both felt excited even though the kitchen was in a mess.19.The passage mainly talks about the advantages of__________.A.skillsB.cookingC.scienceD.families20.The underlined word"apply"in Paragraph1is closest in meaning to__________.A.teachB.finisheD.answer21.The best part of cooking with children is__________.A.to make children learn mathB.to help children learn from failuresC.to improve children's cooking skillsD.to create sweet family memories22.In the passage,the writer shows his ideas by__________.A.asking questionsB.giving exampleC.listing numbersD.making up storiesCLast month I went to Peru with my mom and dad.My mom’s company sent her there on business.It was great!We flew into Cusco.One weekend we took a train to visit Machu Picchu.What is Machu Picchu?Well,it is the remains of an ancient Inca city.It is on top of a mountain that overlooks the Urubamba River.It is more than7,000feet above sea level!How did we get up that high?We could have hiked the Inca Trail(印加古道)for four days. Instead,we decided to ride the train.It runs right along the river.It takes only a few hours.Our guide was a man from the local area.Not only did he provide information about the area,he also worked as our interpreter.Some of the people of Peru speak Quechua,which of course we don’t understand.As we rode the train,our guide pointed out unknown plants that grow in the rain forest.The plants which grow near the floor of the rain forest,was so thick that I could hardly imagine trying to get through it back in1911.That was when Hiram Bingham,the man who searched for the city, started his expedition(探险).We also learned about the animals.There are some dangerous snakes that live there.One bite can kill a person.It must have been quite a journey that Bingham took!His trip was well worth it,in my opinion.Machu Picchu was so big and beautiful!The stones have gone through the test of time.They have been there since the1400s.There were terraces(梯田)cut into the sides of the mountain,and green was everywhere.To top it all off,we were in the clouds!We saw where the people lived,where they worshipped,and where they farmed.The history is fascinating!23.How did the writer go to Machu Picchu with her parents?A.By plane.B.By boat.C.On foot.D.By train.24.What does the underlined word“interpreter”in Paragraph3mean?A.Translator.B.Driver.C.Guard.D.Teacher.25.In which order did the writer do in her journey?a.Arrived in Cusob.Get up to Machu Picchuc.Learned about animals.d.Get to know some plants.A.a-b c-dB.a-d-c-bC.b-c-d-aD.b-d-a-c26.In the4th paragraph Hiram Bingham is mentioned mainly to show_________.A.how crazy he was to start the expedition in the rain forestB.how difficult and dangerous it is to go through the rain forestC.how knowledgeable the writer is to know about Hiram BinghamD.how worth it was for Hiram Bingham to take the tripD①Colors are often used to describe feelings.For example,if you“feel blue”,it means that you’re sad.A person who“sees red”is angry,and someone who’s“tickled pink”is happy about something.Besides expressing feelings,though,colors may also influence our actions.②In Japan,officials have put in blue lights around railroad platforms to discourage people from jumping in front of trains.As a result,certain stations with the blue lights have seen an84 percent drop in suicide(自杀)numbers.Pink has been believed to prevent crimes.In the United States,rooms in prison(监狱)were painted this color to calm prisoners.In sports,some visiting teams have had to use all-pink locker rooms.which were meant to weaken the team and make the lose.③Unlike pink,red may let you gain an upper hand in sports.Sportsmen who wore red were found to have a slightly higher chance of winning.Red is also believed to be the color of energy and power.④The ways in which colors affect us may be a result of nature and evolution(进化).Red is the color of fire and blond so it is connected to life,danger.Yellow describes sunny days and can make us feel energetic and happy,while blue relaxes us with images of the sea and the sky.⑤Other factors relating our reactions to colors are culture and history.In the past,the processto produce purple is difficult,and only Kings and nobles could afford things in purple.As a result, the color become a royal symbol.⑥As you can see,colors shape how we understand the world.They are seen in all parts of life,and they can influence us in ways that we may not notice.27.How do we describe somebody who is feeling happy?A.She feels blue.B.She sees red.C.She is tickled pink.D.She becomes yellow.28.According to the article,what is one way to weaken an opposing team in sports?A.Appearing in blue sportswear.B.Painting their locker rooms pink.C.Showing them the color yellow.ing purple as your team’s symbol.29.According to the article,which of the following is NOT true about colors?A.People’s actions to colors are decided by nature rather than culture.B.Purple became a symbol of royalty because it was hard for the public to get.C.Both blue and pink can make people feel less angry.worried,and excited.D.Red is connected to danger because of nature and evolution.30.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?A.①/②③/④⑤/⑥B.①②/③/④⑤/⑥C.①/②③④⑤/⑥D①②③④⑤/⑥.第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)下面文章中有五处(第31—35题)需要添加小标题。

The introduction shows what you will learn about these two states of the US.D. The column headings list details about the two states' flowers and birds.CIf you go shopping in any toy store,you can see clearly the different games and toys for boys and girls:there are a lot of pink toys on one side of the store for girls;and dark-colored cars,guns and soldiers for boys.Some big stores with toys may even have a pink floor for girls and a blue floor for boys.In fact,it is difficult to buy a toy for a girl that is not pink.Some people think that too much pink is bad for girls.Sue Palmer,writer of Toxic Childhood,is very worried that most girls over the age of three are crazy about the color.According to some scientists,this happens for two reasons.Firstly,most companies offer too many products in pink.Also,many parents think their little daughter looks cute in pink.Sue Palmer says that girls at this age cannot make proper decisions by themselves,but the pink can affect the choices and the decisions they will make in the future. Some parents are worried too---for example,Vanessa Holburn,thirty-two,who has two girls under the age of four.Their bedrooms are a sea of pink and Vanessa is not happy. " Pink says that you are soft and gentle.Blue says that you are strong and powerful.I want my daughters to be strong and powerful.I'm worried that pink will not help them with that," she says.But not everyone thinks there's something wrong with pink.Grayson Turner is a father of three girls and he isn't worried at all. "People forget that things change all the time," he says. "My girls used to love pink when they were little,but as they get older,they change." Turner explains that his twelve-year-old daughter never wears pink clothes anymore. "This love of pink is just a fashion and all fashions change," he adds. " It's only since the 1940s that people have started dressing girls in pink---before that it was a color for boys."8. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?______A. AB. BC. CD. D9. The underlined word "that" in Paragraph 3 means ______ .A. being soft and gentleB. being strong and powerfulC. being gentle but powerfulD. being cute and beautiful10. According to Grayson Turner,______ .A. parents needn't worry about pink toysB. all little kids love the color pinkC. pink has always been a color for girlsD. his girls now prefer the color blue11. The purpose of this passage is to ______ .A. explain why girls are crazy about the color pinkB. make parents less worried about the color pinkC. encourage girls to give up playing with pink toysD. show people's different opinions about the color pinkDThere is a glass on the table,filled up halfway with water.How would you describe the glass:half empty or half full If your answer was "half full",then prepare yourself for an exciting life in which anything is possible.If you said "half empty" on the other hand,you might just fail to do something or be worried about your life.It may sound crazy,but that's the power of positive(积极的)thinking! Experts believe that positive thinking has several important benefits(好处).First,it can make us feel happy about our life.If someone focuses on all of the good things that they have,he is much less likely to feel bad about his pare that to someone who's always talking about the bad side of any situation,the positive thinker will be the happier of the two.Positive thinking can also improve our health.One study showed that it takes shorter to recover(恢复)from diseases for people with positive thinking while it takes longer for those who are always in depressing feeling.Also,people who are highly stressed are easier to catch a cold and the flu. Another benefit is that positive thinking can influence the world around us.In the 2006 book The Secret,author Rhonda Byrne describes a "law of attraction".This law is according to the idea that positive thinking attracts positive things.If you think about a new sports car,you might just get one. Positive thinking may improve our minds,bodies,and even the world,but how do we get started?According to Richard Wiseman,an expert of psychology(心理学),the best way to change how we think is to change our behavior.He believes that if someone practices smiling every day,he or she will think happier thoughts.12. What does it mean if you describe a half glass of water "half full"?______A. You may fail to do something.B. Your life may sound crazy.C. You may have an exciting life.D. Your life may be impossible.13. What does the underlined word "depressing" in Para.3 probably mean?______A. Bright.B. Similar.C. Upset.D. Normal.14. What does Para.5 mainly talk about?______A. The idea of positive thinking.B. The way to start positive thinking.C. The benefits of positive thinking.D. The way to improve positive thinking.15. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?______A. People with stress are difficult to get ill.B. Positive thinkers are more likely to feel sad.C. There are two benefits of positive thinking.D. Positive thinking might bring you what you want.16. Communication between people of different cultures is more important than ever.Most people now understand how important it is to know something about different cultures and languages.Here is some advice to improve communication between people of different cultures.(1)______It is very important to communicate your ideas and purpose clearly.Make sure there are no mistakes by speaking clearly and not too fast.(2)______After each of your questions,wait for the other side to speak.In an everyday conversation,this can seem strange.But in cross-cultural situations,this style makes the conversation much easier.(3)______It can be very difficult to speak English very well.If the people you are speaking with are having trouble finding the right words,you can support them.Tell them not to be shy in communication.

Part of it included an old tunnel (隧道) called West Hill. This old tunnel is over a mile long!To prepare, we checked our tires (轮胎) and bike lights. My mom made us some food. She also gave us fruit and plenty of water. In the morning, we put our bikes into the car and set off.After a two-hour drive, we reached the road. It was a cool afternoon in early fall. But we were both wet and tired because our trip started with a long uphill climb! As we reached the West Hill Tunnel, I felt nervous as it was very dark inside! But my dad encouraged me. He said he would be right beside me. He reminded me to stay careful and keep my light on!When we entered the tunnel, the sound of our bikes echoed through the darkness. I turned on my flashlight and saw walls covered by drawings. The air smelled like wet mud (泥土). And I felt like I was being watched! I was pretty scared, but paying attention to following my dad helped me relax. After riding half-way through, I could see light coming from the other end of the tunnel. That gave me courage to keep going. And I was so happy to ride out into the bright afternoon!Whenever I go through hardships in life, I remember this trip. It reminds me that hope is always ahead of me. It turns on the light of hope in my heart, and it gives me courage to keep riding through life's dark tunnels.19.

According to a new survey by the National Sleep Foundation, 51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 p.m. or later on school nights, even though they have to get up early. Last year the Foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7- to 12-year-olds said they felt tired during the day, and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school.How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age. Babies need a lot of rest: most of then sleep about 18 hours a day! Adults need about eight hours. For most school-age children, ten hours is needed. But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10- to12-year-olds get only seven or eight hours. And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime? Watch TV."More children are going to bed with TVs on, and there are more chances to stay awake, with more homework, the Internet and the phone," says Dr Mary Carskadon, a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School. She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep. Other experts say part of the problem is chemical. Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones (荷尔蒙) not only make teenagers' bodies develop adult characteristics, but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 p.m.Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers, some school districts have decided to start high school classes later than they used to. Three years ago, schools in Edina, Minnesota changed the start time from 7:25 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. Students, parents and teachers are pleased with the result.23.
