A
An Unexpected Storm
This is a story about an extreme storm in Moscow. It happened two and a half years ago. It was the first time in my life that I saw such a strong storm. For Moscow, it was very unusual, and nobody predicted this storm before it happened.
It was a sunny day in July, and I was at home alone watching TV. The windows and the door to the balcony were wide open because the weather was so hot.
Suddenly, I felt a strong wind from outside. I wanted to close the window and came near. I looked out of the window and saw a blac k sky and trees blowing over because of the strong wind. I tried to close the window, but the wind made me fall down. I was afraid that the glass might break.
I stood up and tried to close the window again, but it was not possible because the wind was now stronger, and it was pushing the window open. I ran into the bathroom and took the mop to close the window. It worked.
When I looked outside, the tree in front of my window was fiat on the ground, and there was strong thunder and lightning. I decided to pull out all the electrical plugs, which took about 10 seconds. A sportsman would have envied my speed.
When I finished, I looked outside. It was terrible, and I understood how people are helpless compared to the power of nature.
Suddenly, the wind stopped, and it began to hail (下冰雹). The ice was the size of grapes. After 10 minutes, everything stopped, and the sun shone as before. It was strange. A few minutes later, the phone began to ring every five minutes. It was my friends or relatives. We asked each other how it was and how we felt after the storm.
Many trees died because of the storm. For a few days, the people helped clean parks and gardens. Some people’s cars were damaged by t rees falling on them. After one week, it was history already. This is my story about an extreme storm in Moscow. It shows us that we are children of nature, and we must respect her.
21. How did the weather change according to the passage?
A. Sunny and hot—thunder and lightning—windy—hail—sunny.
B. Sunny and hot—windy—hail—thunder and lightning—sunny.
C. Sunny and hot—thunder and lightning—hail—windy—sunny.
D. Sunny and hot—windy—thunder and lightning—hail—sunny.
22. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. I did all the things in a flash.
B. I could run faster than a sportsman.
C. I could stay at home on a stormy day.
D. I was admired by the sportsman for my speed.
23. What did the author learn from the unexpected storm?
A. Everything will be history.
B. We should respect nature.
C. We should help each other.
D. The disaster will be predicted.
B
Coffee is one of the most popular drinks around the world. There are many different types of coffee and experts think that there are more flavors of coffee than there are of wine. Coffee contains caffeine, something that raises our awareness, keeps us from failing asleep or simply gives us a kick in the morning or after lunch.
Food experts, however, are still undecided on how healthy coffee is. For a long time doctors have told people not to drink too much coffee, b ecause it may lead to heart problems, high blood pressure, and headaches.
Scientists have now found out that it is the quality of coffee and the way it is made that hold the key to our health. Elderly people on the Greek island of Ikaria live longer than normal. Among other things, this is linked to the consumption of a strong coffee. Experts also point out that different roasts and types of coffee beans have different effects on our health. Milk and sugar change the different levels of caffeine in a cup of coffee.
A new study by a Harvard research group says that there is no link between coffee and health problems. Drinking several cups of strong coffee a day is not connected with early death or other heart diseases.
Coffee has many advantag es, as the new study suggests. While alcohol makes people sleepy and slow moving, coffee gives them energy. Getting together for a cup of coffee
is also a form of socializing and has a positive effect on relationships.
Although a lot still needs to be uncovered about coffee, it seems to reduce the risk of cancer and diabetes (糖尿病). Reports show that people who drink coffee may develop Parkinson’s disease later in life, or maybe not at all. Doctors think that coffee may have a posit ive effect on our brain.
24. The underlined phrase “gives us a kick” in Paragraph 1 probably means _________.
A. makes us refreshed
B. hits us with the foot
C. breaks our legs
D. lets us feel painful
25. According to Paragraph 5, coffee has many advantages except that _________.
A. it gives us energy
B. it helps us run faster
C. it is a form of socializing
D. it has a good effect on relationships
26. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Coffee does harm to our brain.
B. Caffeine cannot keep us awake.
C. Drinking coffee is the key to our health.
D. Coffee may not be connected with health problems.
27. Which can be the best title of this passage?
A. Coffee and Energy
B. Coffee and Wine
C. Coffee and Health
D. Coffee and Brain
C
Comparing ourselves with others isn’t a recent phenomenon—it’s part of our culture. As soon as we’re able to form our own thoughts and opinions, we start comparing. Who’s taller?Who’s better at sports? Who has more friends?
Unlike other childish habits, the urge to measure up(攀比) doesn’t ever really go away. In fact, it only increases when we become teens. “At a younger age, I found myself wanting to be cool and wondering why I wasn’t that cool,” said a junior student Michael Torres. “So I began doing what they did in order to fit in with my own friends.”
We are flooded with the message that we should compare ourselves with others.
Magazines, advertisements, stores—it becomes all about what other people have or what they’ve achieved. Social media adds another layer to the problem. Facebook, Twitter and QQ offer a constant stream of updates about the people around us. She got accepted to Harvard? He bought the brand new Nikes? They’re da ting?
“If I go on Facebook or Twitter and read about how wonderful everyone else is, I’m not feeling good about myself. It’s going to make me feel worse,” said Mike Robbins, a senior student. “I try not to let things like that affect me, but in the modern world of technology it’s hard not to take notice of what others are doing, and sometimes you want to be just like them.”
Before you get caught up in the comparison game, keep in mind one very important detail: When it comes to social media, we often present only the things we want people to see—the good fortunes, happy moments, delicious desserts and best smiles.
The deeper question is: Are people really posting things on social media that are true or are they simply doing it to present something to other people? It’s what we do in our culture: “Look how great I am,” “Look how smart I am,” “Look how happy I am,” and sometimes that’s true,but in a lot of cases, it’s not.
While comparing ourselves to others can inspire us to get ahead and work harder, it can also drive us crazy. Next time you find yourself wondering if you measure up, remember this: What we have is not a measure of who we are. We already have worth as an individual when we’re born. Everything else is what people think of us.
28. When do we start to compare ourselves with others?
A. When we go to junior schools.
B. When we were born into the world.
C. When we have Facebook or Tweeter.
D. When we have thoughts and opinions.
29. According to the author, why would people like to post wonderful things on social media?
A. To show off their lives.
B. To get advice from readers.
C. To share happiness with others.
D. To communicate useful information.
30. The author presents the phenomenon of the comparison by _________.
A. listing a lot of figures
B. giving facts and examples
C. providing scientific findings
D. comparing famous persons’ opinions
31. From the passage, we learn that the author _________ comparison with others.
A. supports
B. ignores
C. opposes
D. respects
D
“Are the volcanoes in Yellowstone National Park going to erupt anytime soon? Will the world end if it does?” People across the world have been keeping a close watch on the famous national park.
Yellowstone National Park assured (保证) guests and the public on Thursday that a super-volcano under the park was not expected to erupt anytime soon, despite a video that claimed bison (野牛) had been seen fleeing to avoid such a disaster.
Yellowstone officials, who received dozens of calls and emails since the video went online this week following an earthquake in the park, said the video actually shows bison rushing down a paved road that leads deeper into the park.
“It was a spring-like day and they were crazy. Contrary to online rep orts, it’s a natural happening and not the end of the world,” park spokeswoman Ms. Green said.
Assurances by Yellowstone officials and government geologists that the ancient super-volcano beneath the park is not due to explode have actually done little to reduce fears.
Comments from a self-described survivor suggest the wildlife fleeing may be tied to “a coming eruption here at Yellowstone”.
The 4.8 magnitude earthquake that struck early Sunday near the Norris Geyser Basin in the northwest of Yellowstone, which extends 3, 472 square miles of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, caused no injuries or damages and did not make any noticeable changes to the landscape, geologists said.
Though mild by seismic (地震的) standards, it was the largest to shake Yellowstone since a 4.8 quake in February 1980. “But neither the quake, the largest among hundreds that have struck the area in the last seven months, nor the uplift suggests an eruption sooner than tens of thousands of years. The chance of that happening in our lifetime is very small.” said Mr. Smith,associate director at the U. S. Geological Survey’s Volcano Science Center. He said the area of uplift that scientists had been tracking since August was rising at a rate of between 10 centimeters and 15 centimeters a year. Geologists who tracked uplift in the same area from 1996 to 2003 also saw rising seismic activity, he said.
32. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Bison.
B. Officials.
C. Geologists.
D. Guests.
33. We can learn from the passage that _________.
A. there have been only 2 earthquakes since 1980
B. there’s only one survivor in the Sunday earthquake
C. there’re still fears after hearing the official assurances
D. there’s an online report that bison fleeing is a natural happening
34. What’s Mr. Smith’s prediction about the volcanic eruption in Y ellowstone National Park?
A. It will never happen.
B. It may happen anytime.
C. It won’t h appen in our lifetime
D. It may happen in the next 30 years.
35. We can probably read such a passage in _________.
A. a national newspaper
B. an entertainment magazine
C. a personal diary
D. an academic report

The Dos and Don’ts of Learning a New Language
People decide to learn another language for many different reasons. Some learn another language because they would like to live in another country. 36 Some people have to study a language at school and others might decide to learn a language
just for fun!
I’ve been learning French for just over two years. I decided to learn it because
I wanted to learn something new and I love French culture. Learning French has been
a fun and exciting journey but it’s also been challenging. I’ve learnt a lot about the challenges while learning a new language and have put together some ‘dos’ and
‘don’ts’ to help other language learners.
· 37
Learning a new language can be a hard process that requires a lot of motivation. Try different activities to make your language learning more enjoyable. Why not try watching your favourite TV series in that language or listening to music in that language?
·Do write down your mistakes
38 I like to write the mistakes that I make in a small pocket book. ·Don’t set unrealistic expectations
If you have recently started learning another language, it may be unrealistic to expect to be fluent within a couple of months. Be aware that it could take a while.
39 It’s very difficult to have a native accent. The most important thing is that you’re clear and people can understand you.
·Don’t be scared
40 I worried about my accent, pronunciation, grammar and didn’t make the most of speaking opportunities. Looking back, it seems silly and now I’m more than happy to speak French. Don’t be afraid or overthink it, just be confident and speak.
A. Be confident
B. Do enjoy it
C. The same thing goes for accents.
D. Others decide to learn a language because of their job.
E. I wasn’t confident when I first started speaking French.
F. Take your time and celebrate the progress that you’ve made so far.
G. A person correcting you is a good thing and it will help you improve.

Dear Uncle Huang,
I am Li Hua, a child living in this community. Most of the children in our community feel lonely and bored because we have few friends here. To change this situation, I’d like to offer some suggestions.
First, would you please organize the children to clean up our neighborhood regularly? Through this activity, w e can know each other and make new friends. Second, I wonder if you could find us a room to do our homework so that we can help and learn from each other. Third, I think it’s a good idea to encourage children to join

I hope we can get more involved in our community and our life will be colorful and full of fun.
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
