You might have many friends playing with you, 1 you could be all by yourself. No matter 2 the weather is like or how many friends are around, there's always a way to be active and have fun.When it's just you, you can practise something and make yourself 3 at it. If you play tennis, try hitting a tennis ball 4 the wall. If basketball is your thing, try 5 baskets and see how many you can hit. Or if you're into football, take a ball and see how long you can keep it in the air using your 6 , knees, and head.When you play with your friends again, they'll be 7 at what you can do!When it's 8 and everyone is sweaty, what do you do? Swim, of course! Race your friends or 9 your underwater skills. But don't forget the safety rules. Make sure there's an adult around to keep everyone 10 !Maybe you can't go out 11 it is rainy or too cold. But that doesn't mean you 12 get some exercise.

Now, a 19-year-old teenager can help you to solve this problem. He has invented a phone charger which uses energy from your own body to charge your phone.Hand Energy, the wonderful invention of the inventor Michael Vaga, allows you to charge your phone simply by shaking your hand, which starts the charger's gyroscope(陀螺仪) to produce electricity. And the electricity can then either be stored or used to charge a phone immediately.He said, “With each rotation(旋转) of your hand, the gyroscope's speed increases quickly and produces more power. The average speed of the gyroscope is about 5,000 rounds per minute. With this small charger, your physical energy can be turned into electrical energy and this means you can charge your phone.”Hand Energy can help you produce endless electricity. You can use it everywhere you want. It is especially useful for people who have to spend a long time in the wilds. What's more, it's friendly to the environment and helps you to exercise your wrists. It takes between 40 minutes and one hour to fully charge the batteries(电池) in the Hand Energy.The invention took Vaga a year to develop. Now, the inventor from Minsk, Belarus, is ready to put it into production and send out the creative convenient chargers. Its price is 99 euros (84pounds).1.If we want to produce energy with the charger, we should . ( )A.shake our handsB.move quicklyC.go to the wildD.charge our phones2.Who will be interested in the invention most?( )A.The teachers.B.The medical workers.C.The drivers.D.The field workers.3.It is not clear whether or not, according to the passage. ( )A.the more you shake, the more power it producesB.the charger helps to protect the environmentC.we can buy the charger online in ChinaD.its price is 84 pounds4.Which could be the best title of the passage?( )A.A wonderful inventionB.A great inventorC.An interesting storyD.An exciting tripPassage 2Hannay was nervous. His enemies were searching for him. All around him were grassy hills without trees. He had nowhere to hide. How could he escape?Hannay walked along the country road for a long time. Then he saw a road worker, who was working alone, fixing the road. Hannay could see the road worker was not feeling well. Hannay came up to him and said “How are you?”“My head hurts,” the road worker said, “I can't do it. I want to go home to bed. My daughter got married yesterday, and I drank a lot of wine with my friends. That's the problem!”Hannay agreed that he should be home in bed.“Yes, and I would be,” he replied, “but y esterday I received a message saying that the new surveyor was coming to look at my work. If he comes and finds me away, I'll be in trouble.”Suddenly Hannay had a bright idea—he could act as the road worker and get away from his enemies.“You go off to bed,” Hannay said. “I'll do your job until the new surveyor comes.”The road worker was pleased with his idea. He gave Hannay his hat and his old coat. Then hewent home to sleep and perhaps to drink a bit more. Hannay put on the road worker's hat and coat and began to fix the road. About an hour later he heard a voice.“Are you the road worker?” it asked.It was the new surveyor. He was a young man with a clean face. He sat in a small car.Hannay said “yes”. The surveyor told him about some work he wanted him to do before he came by again and drove off. Hannay continued with his work.Then a village boy came by. “What has happened to the road worker?” he asked.“He stayed at home today,” Hannay replied. “He's sick.”At about midday, a large car came down the hill and stopped near Hannay. Three men got out of the car. Hannay's hearts beat fast. He knew his enemies were coming…1.What is this story probably taken from? ( )A.A history book.B.A travel book.C.A novel.D.A science book.2.Who did NOT come by while Hannay was working on the road? ( )A.The surveyor.B.The road worker's daughter.C.Hannay's enemies.D.A village boy.3.What can we infer from the story? ( )A.Hannay helped the road worker because he was warm-hearted.B.The grassy hills were perfect hiding places for Hannay.C.The surveyor had a lot of working experience.D.The village boy knew the road worker.4.What is the correct order of the story? ( )①Hannay me t a road worker who was not feeling well and offered to take over for him.②Hannay was worried because his enemies were following him.③A car stopped near Hannay and three men got out.④Hannay acted as the road worker when the surveyor came by.⑤The villag e boy wondered what had happened to the road worker.A.②→①→④→⑤→③B.②→①→④→③→⑤C.①→④→②→⑤→③D.①→④→②→③→⑤Ⅲ.词汇运用(ⅰ)用方框中所给词语的适当形式填空。

Local fishermen would sometimes see them. One fisherman, Egon Steward, told scientists that he saw a few in 2009.That was the last time, scientists believe, anyone saw the animal. In February, the Australian government announced that Bramble Cay melomys had gone extinct. It is the first mammal(哺乳动物)to become extinct because of climate change.Melomys have never been found outside Bramble Cay. In 1978, several hundred melomys lived on the island. That number had dropped to below 100 by 1998. In December 2011, scientists looking for melomys returned empty-handed.Melomys were little known. However, people around the world are sad about their extinction. “The melomys was a little brown rat,”said Tim Beshara, a scientist. “But it was our little brown rat. It was our responsibility to protect the animal from extinction. Sadly, we failed.”It is very likely that the melomys went extinct because of a lack of food. The animals lived on plants. Between 2004 and 2014, however, the number of plants on Bramble Cay reduced by 97 percent. As a result, many melomys had to go hungry. Scientists believe the lack of plants was caused by climate change.Many native animals in Australia have become extinct. The government has been heavily criticized for doing little to save the earth. “We are suffering from the real effects of climate change,”said Leeanne Enoch, a government official. “How many more species(物种) do we have to lose before we take real action?” he asked angrily.1.People last saw melomys in in Australia? ()A.1978B.1998C.2009D.20112.Which of the following has the closest meaning as “gone extinct”?()A.gone hungryB.disappearedC.got angryD.grown older3.Which is NOT the cause of melomys' extinction? ()A.The change of climate.B.The lack of food.C.No government's action.D.The low birth rate (率).4.What kind of work does Leeanne Enoch most probably do? ()A.Making plans for Australia.B.Developing food industry.C.Protecting the wild animals.D.Improving life standards.Passage 2Still hungry for fresh songs by Troye Sivan, Shawn Mendes or Charlie Puth? No hurry!Another fan favourite boy, Greyson Chance, is back with new music. He released(发布) his long-awaited second album Portraits on March 15.It has been almost nine years since Chance made a name for himself. At the age of 12, his performance of Lady Gaga's “Paparazzi”gained widespread attention. The video was viewed by over 60 million people on YouTube. What followed was a series of national television appearances and world tours. Before graduating from middle school, the American singer released his first album, Hold On ‘Til The Night.However, achieving fame at an early age is not always good. Chance's life was completely changed and he found friendships were harder to get as well. At the age of 18, he made a big decision. “Things weren't going too well for me. I wasn't happy and I decided to go to college. I completely gave up on music,” he said. But that didn't last long. One year later, his passion made an unexpected return. His experience of listening to many well-known folk singers gave ideas to his new album.Portraits proves to be a mirror of the personal life of the 21-year-old artist. The songs in Chance's latest album show moments of personal growth where he looked back on his relationship with his family, his former partner, his friends and himself. He also shared how he got back a lost love for music, and how he managed to go through the ups and downs in his life.Now, the true Greyson Chance is back. And we're all ready to see what comes next in his music.1.Which of the following made Chance's first success? ()A.His second album Portraits.B.His video of “Paparazzi” on YouTube.C.His tours around the world.D.His first album Hold On ‘Til The Night.2.Paragraph 3 mainly talks about . ()A.some famous singers may give new ideas for one's new songsB.one should not take up music when he decides to go to collegeC.it is hard for anyone else to find friendship after he is famousD.sometimes becoming famous at an early age is not a good thing3.What does the underlined words “ups and downs” mean? ()A.joys and sorrowsB.pleasure and troubleC.success and failureD.lost and found4.The best title of the passage is . ()A.Take a New Chance on MusicB.Get a Chance at an Early AgeC.Make a Chance for a New LifeD.Chance Leaves with New SongsⅢ.词汇运用阅读下面短文,然后根据括号内所给汉语意思写出单词的正确形式。

He was sad recently because he thought that he had nothing left. One day, Peter went to ask a wise man for help. He said to the wise man, “I have nothing left, so I don't want to live.” The wise man smiled sympathetically(同情地).The wise man took out a piece of paper and drew a straight line down the middle. He explained that he would write down the things Peter had lost on the left side and the things Peter still had on the right side.The wise man asked, “When did your family leave you?”“What do you mean? They haven't left me. They love me!”“That's great!” said the wise man. “Then that will be the first thing on the right side—Family haven't left. Now, do you have freedom(自由)?”“. Of course I do!”“Good! That's the second one on the right side—You have freedom!” said the wise man, writing it down.After Peter was asked some more questions in the same way, he finally understood and smiled.“Things will change when you think of them in a different way!” he said.As a matter of fact, change your attitude and you will change your world. It's necessary to have a positive (积极的) attitude to life.1.Why did Peter ask a wise man for help? ( )A.Because he found there was nothing to live for.B.Because he thought he had nothing in the world.C.Because the wise man would give him something.D.Because it was difficult for him to become rich.2.Which of the following is important to a person according to the wise man?

( )A.A wise man can't help you.B.Solve problems by writing them down.C.Look at the bright side of life.D.Change the world when life is hard.Passage 2Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” These are certainly words that the millions of volunteers around the world could agree with. In the US, April is National Volunteer Month, which recognizes and thanks volunteers who lend their time, talent, and support to causes they care about.Volunteering means choosing to work without being paid for it. People who volunteer spend their time doing things they feel strongly about. For example, animal lovers may volunteer at an animal shelter to help improve the treatment and well-being of animals.For students, valuable lessons may also be learned by volunteering.Take Andrew Makhoul as an example. Makhoul didn't spend the 2012 spring break partying. Unlike his classmates, who planned on relaxing after a long time of hard work, the 19-year-old decided to do something for people who were less fortunate than himself.He travelled to an orphanage (孤儿院) in Guatemala in Central America. The orphanage is in one of the poorest parts of the country, and depends on volunteers to stay open. Makhoul doesn't speak much Spanish, but he found communication wasn't a problem: “You communicated with love,” according to an article on his university website. And what he gave out, he got back: “You could see love when you looked in their eyes.”Makhoul's first time as a volunteer only lasted a week, but by the end of that week, he knew he'd be back soon-because he saw love and hope.US author Sherry Anderson once wrote,“Volunteers don't get paid, not because they're worthless, but because they're priceless.” And this is perhaps why volunteers all around the world keep doing what they do.1.What is the use of Churchill's words? ( )A.To show his strong idea.B.To start with an opinion.C.To make readers consider.D.To force readers to agree.2.Which is TRUE according to the passage? ( )A.More Americans volunteer in May than any other month.B.Sometimes volunteers get some pay because of their work.C.Students can learn something valuable through volunteering.D.Makhoul found it difficult to communicate in the orphanage.3.What did Makhoul learn from his experience in volunteering? ( )A.Nothing.B.Spanish.C.Love and hope.D.Culture.4.Which words best describes volunteers? ( )A.Worthless.B.Priceless.C.Peaceful.D.Homeless.Ⅲ.[2019·广州改编]词汇运用阅读下面短文,然后根据括号内所给汉语意思写出单词的正确形式。

Two hundred kilometres from north to south; a hundred from east to west. Long dunes run north to south, long lines of sand, always changing, always moving in the wind.On its west side, Wahiba is a long wall of red sand, fifty or sixty metres high. It runs slowly down on to the empty desert, which is the centre of Oman. Hard, stony and flat as a table, this desert is the eastern side of the greatrub'al-khali, the Empty Quarter.In the east, the dunes of sand run down on to long, empty beaches. Crabs and seabirds live there by day, and green turtles often come out of the sea to lay their eggs by night. After the beaches, there is only the deep blue-green water of the Arabian Sea for fifteen hundred kilometres to Gujarat in northern India.The sands of Wahiba are empty and quiet. There is no sound. Nothing bigger than a lizard(蜥蜴) can live in the great sea of soft, red-gold sand; nothing bigger than marram grass(滨草) can grow there.You hear nothing but the blood in your ears, and the hot dry air going in and out of your mouth.To walk in the soft sand is difficult. It pulls your feet as you walk. Your legs soon hurt and you get tired very quickly. To move at all is hard work.And, of course, in the day the hot sun is always there. The air is hot; the sand is hot. There is nowhere you can go away from the sun, no tree as far as you can see.In the sky above the blue-green Indian Ocean, a small plane is coming from the east.

But I think those of us who live in large cities in Asia would be cheating ourselves if we said this is the only time we are busy shopping. No, from Bangkok to Singapore, from Shanghai to Manila, shopping﹣﹣﹣especially shopping in large centers﹣﹣﹣is a year﹣round activity.Shopping centers are good. They show Asia's surprising economic(经济的)growth, and how far we have come in such a short time. For many of the older generation who can remember a time when everyone lived in villages and there was no running water, the air﹣conditioned center means comfort, choice, luxury(豪华)and better times.Nowadays, it seems our usual activities happen in the centre﹣﹣﹣it's where we shop, eat, watch movies, meet our friends or just generally walk around.Further more, we have come to regard shopping centers as important landmarks or tourist attractions(吸引). Whole generations of Asians are growing to think that, besides home and school, the shopping center is the most natural place to be.My idea about shopping centers is not that they are often big buildings that look quite different from other parts in a city, or that they promote(促进)shopping at a time when our planet can hardly afford it. My main idea about centers is that they don't really seem to make us happy. The large advertisements outside the stores could make us think that if we only had this pair of jeans, or if we hung out at this cafe drinking coffee, then we could feel more successful. But once we buy something, we only want to buy something more﹣﹣﹣as everyone already knows.Shopping centers, even though they try to look as welcoming as possible, can be unkind places. To make us buy, they must have no one to blame(责怪)but ourselves. Instead of shopping, we could be cooking, visiting a nearby waterfall, going to the beach, reading a novel, taking a long walk, playing a sport, learning a dance or visiting each other's homes.Every time we have a spare piece of land, all we can think ofbuilding on it is yet another center. Perhaps instead, we should be building libraries, theatres, museums, sports halls, public swimming pools, parks ﹣﹣﹣the list is endless. We might even consider leaving that land alone. This is something that the center may have caused us to forget﹣﹣﹣in order to be happy, we must create as well as consume(消费).(1)What is the writer's attitude towards shopping centers?A.He likes them very much.B. He doesn't like them at all.C, He likes them only a little.D. He doesn't like all of them.(2)Why do more and more shopping centers appear in some Asian countries? ( )A.Because economy in the world develops very fast.B.Because shopping centers have attracted tourists all over the world.C.Because people go shopping in large shopping centers all year round.D.Because shopping centers have become an important part in everyone's life.(3)What is the greatest disadvantage of shopping centers, according to the writer? ( )A.They don't seem to make us happy.B.They lead us to buy more and more things.C.They force us to give up many other activities.D.They have us fall into endless competition with others.(4)Which of the following is not true? ( )A.It is very easy for us to find a shopping center in a big city.B.There are usually all kinds of services in a shopping center.C.The government must be responsible for the writer's sadness.D.Besides shopping, there are many other activities we can enjoyPassage 2Mark was walking home from school one day.He saw the boy in the front drop all of the books he was carrying,with two sweaters,a basketball and a walkman.Mark stopped and helped the boy pick up these things.Since they were going the same way,he helped to carry some of his things.As they walked,Mark knew that the boy's name was Bill,that he loved computer games,basketball and history,and that he was having lots of troubles with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.They arrived at Bill's home first and Mark was invited in for a Coke and to watch some television.The afternoon passed happily with a few laughs and some small talk,then Mark went home.They often saw each other at school,had lunch together once or twice,and then they both finished middle school.They ended up in the same high school where they sometimes saw and talked with each other over the years.At last just three weeks before they finished high school,Bill asked Mark if they could talk.Bill asked Mark if he still remembered the day years ago when they had first met."Did you ever think why I was carrying so many things home that day? "asked Bill."You see,I cleaned out my locker (锁柜)because I didn't want to leave anything for anyone else.I had put away some of my mother's sleeping pills (药片)and I was going home to kill myself.But after we spent some time together talking and laughing,I began to understand that if I killed myself,I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow.So you see,Mark,when you picked up those books that day,you did a lot more.You saved my life."(1).When Mark met him the first time,Bill was going( ).A.to have a basketball gameB.to his classroomC.to see MarkD.home(2).From what Bill was carrying,we can know that he( ).A.was a good studentB.liked sports and musicC.liked all the subjects in schoolD.was a good friend(3).Mark and Bill( ).A.were in the same middle school and high schoolB.were in the same middle school but not in the same high school C.often had lunch together at schoolD.had known each other before they began to study in middle school (4).In this passage,the phrase"break up"means"( )".A.相处很好B.和好如初C.关系破裂D.保持联系(5).When Mark helped Bill to pick up some of his things,he( ).A.knew he could save Bill's lifeB.knew who Bill was and wanted to help himC.didn't know why he was going to help himD.didn't know what he was doing was very important to Bill.Passage 3South Korea is a country. It is next to China and Japan. People live there for many years. The country of South Korea started in 1948.Life is very difficult for many young people in South Korea. It's very important for people to go to a good school and find a good job. So studying is very,very important! Students usually get up at sixo'clock,have breakfast with their family,and then go to school. Schools in South Korea usually start at seven o'clock. After five hours of lessons in the morning,it's time for lunch. Most students have lunch at school. Then there are more lessons. School is over at sixo'clock. But that's not the end. Most young Koreans don't go home after school. They go to the library and study from about eight o'clock to eleven or twelve o'clock. When the libraries close,they go home in a bus. Most students don t go to bed before one o'clock in the morning. And after just four hours of sleep, it's time to get up again!There is a saying in South Korea:If you sleep four hours a night,you can go to great schools. If you sleep five hours a night,you can't. The students have to have difficult lives.(1)Why is life very difficult for the young students in South Korea? ( )A. Because they have to study for long hours.B.

速测(十三) 完形+阅读C+D+词汇运用(限时:25分钟)Ⅰ.完形填空Galileo was an Italian scientist. But in the books of Japanese writer Higashino Keigo(东野圭吾), Galileo is a detective. His 1 name is Manabu Yukawa and works at a university as a physics professor. Yukawa is as 2 as Galileo the scientist and has great talent for detection. So his old schoolmate Kusanagi, who is now a police officer, often asks him for 3 to solve hard cases.Yukawa is a quiet person but sometimes can also be cold. He is only interested in 4 . So when Kusanagi comes to him for help, he usually shows 5 interest. But when he finds there could be science behind the case, he becomes very 6 .While solving a case, Yukawa usually makes 7 use of his physics and maths knowledge. Sometimes he may even do 8 to prove(证明) his thoughts.Most cases 9 Yukawa solves seem supernatural(超自然的) and impossible. The first case that Manabu Yukawa takes is such a case. A young man died 10 burns to the head while partying at night. Police believe it to be a(n) 11 caused by firecrackers(爆竹). But Yukawa doesn't think it could be that 12 . He finds something that reminds him that lasers(激光) can also burn things. After some experiments, he proves his 13 —it was a high-tech murder(高科技谋杀) that used mirrors and a laser.Besides his high IQ, Yukawa is also tall and handsome. 14 , he is not very good at dealing with people, especially with kids and women. He thinks they can't think in a logical(逻辑的) way. The 15 is-he is still single.( )1.A.first st C.given D.real( )2.A.clever B.oldC.powerfulD.famous( )3.A.money B.dinner C.help D.leave( )4.A.history B.physicsC.sportsD.culture( )5.A.some B.any C.no D.much( )6.A.active zy C.noisy D.nervous( )7.A.little B.full C.part D.half( )8.A.exercise B.homeworkC.surveysD.experiments( )9.A.that B.what C.where D.when( )10.A.of B.with C.from D.for( )11.A.excuse B.examC.resultD.accident( )12.A.simple B.true C.deep D.light( )13.A.decisions B.thoughtsC.plansD.memories( )14.A.Surprisingly B.HopefullyC.TerriblyD.Unluckily( )15.A.end B.story C.result D.truthⅡ.阅读理解Passage 1What we have been aware of is that people from Italy speak Italian and people from Russia speak Russian. But have you ever wondered the reason why people speak Spanish in so many South American countries? Do you know why the brilliant footballers of Brazil speak Portuguese? And why is French the first language of some people in Canada? The answer is that all these countries belonged to European empires at one time. The next question is: How did these empires begin? To answer that question we have to probably go back to the 15th and 16th centuries, the golden age of European explorers.Although this period is known as the golden age of European explorers, it was not the beginning of European exploration. As you probably know, Marco Polo travelled a long way to China at the end of the 13th century and some people say that the Vikings discovered America long before Columbus set sail in 1492. However, it is during this “golden”period that some famous voyages took place. Columbus' voyage to America is the best known voyage of exploration, but Ferdinand Magellan sailed round the world in this period, and Spanish explorers such as Cortez and Pizarro reached South America. Cortez defeated the Aztecs in what we now know as Mexico and Pizarro defeated the Incas in what we now know as Peru. The roots of the Spanish empire were established and that is why the Spanish language is so widely spoken in Central and South America today.1.When is the golden age of European explorers? ( )A.The 15th century.B.The 16th century.C.The 13th century.D.The 15th and 16th centuries.2.Which is not the voyage of exploration taking place during the golden period? ( )A.Columbus sailed to America.B.Marco Polo travelled to China.C.Ferdinand Magellan voyaged round the world.D.Cortez and Pizarro reached South America.3.Who defeated the Aztecs in what we now know as Mexico? ( )A.Pizarro.B.Cortez.C.Incas.D.Columbus.4.From the passage, we can know that . ( )A.Many countries in South America have been influenced by European countriesB.The period of the 15th and 16th centuries was the beginning of the European explorationC.European explorers occupied some American countries in a peaceful wayD.Ferdinand Magellan's voyage round the world is not famous at allPassage 2 [2019·常州改编]Basketball can be fun, or it can be trouble. People gather around a ball, but their reactions (反应) often go beyond the object.It was a terribly hot summer day when the group of us appeared on the basketball court. Silently, we teamed up and played, as always. The sun was a big “squeezer (挤压者)”, as it not only squeezed out of us sweat(汗水) and energy, but also our unhappy feelings. Body contact became more and more often, and we could all feel the attacks of elbows (肘部). After another round of game, one of the players and I fell to the ground at the same time. From his burning eyeballs, I could see a fight was almost unavoidable.It suddenly came to me that my tins of Cola were lying on the ground, about an inch away from me. “Buddy, hot down here. What about a drink?” I said to him.Carefully I rolled (滚动) one to him, looking at him in the eyes with my most sincere (真诚的) expression on the face. “I guess I'm quite fine. Lucky no broken bones or we'll end up in the hospital!” I said.Other players watching nearby all laughed. I could clearly see some movements on his face. My humour did work! He picked the Cola up, tried to open it, and walked over. As he passed by my side, he held out his left hand, and smiled at me. I smiled back, took his hand, and gave him a light shake.A gentle wind caught me on the face as I returned to the basketball court. The sun continued to provide warmth for us. What could be better than a group of school students exchanging basketball skills on a warm, sunny afternoon?1.The underlined word “unavoidable” means . ( )A.can be preventedB.can't be preventedC.can be controlledD.can't be controlled2.The writer gave the player a tin of Cola in order to . ( )A.drive away the strong heatB.make friends with himC.make an excuse for the fallD.calm down the situation3.Which of the following words best describe the writer's feeling that day? ( )①burning ②gentle ③warm ④sunnyA.①②③B.①②④C.②③④D.①③④4.The passage mainly wants to tell us . ( )A.being sincere solves problemsB.Cola can cover up your faultC.weather can affect one's feelingD.basketball can lead to a fightⅢ.[2019·深圳改编]词汇运用阅读下面短文,然后根据括号内所给汉语意思写出单词的正确形式。

Or maybe you think it's more fun to watch a crowd than to join one.I'm a little worried that you just don't like people. You should ask yourself “why not?”Keep that in mind, but keep being yourself. Be a positive example of a black-hoodie girl. Dressing dark doesn't mean you can't smile and laugh and have fun.So go say “hi!” and join the crowd sometimes.

Derby has not often been a very successful side, but it has well-known glory(荣耀).Back in the early 1970s, Derby won all the national competitions. Derby supporters never forget this, whether the side is doing well or not. They believe or dream that one day they will achieve great things again, and so they eat, drink and sleep with soccer until that day comes.After every match, the first topic of conversation among kids in the city's schoolyards will be how Derby performed. Did a particular player have a great game? Or did another let the side down? And what the kids discuss at school, adults discuss in the homes, factories and offices, bars and restaurants of Derby.Derby fans may be especially loyal but what is true of them is also true of the fans of thousands of other smaller clubs in Britain. What matters to soccer supporters in Britain is not that their club wins, nor do they care that the club is wealthy or has famous players. The supporters care because the club is their own.1.What does Paragraph 3 want to tell us?

It's a piece of fishing equipment that the shark ate carelessly. After traveling into her body, the spike punctured(刺) through the shark's stomach.A man swimming in the water notices the shark. Then, he warns Sea World Marine Park in the nearby town of Gold Coast. Sea World sends a 12-person team from its rescue center to where the shark was discovered in Moreton Bay Ma rine Park. Soon, they find her lying on the seafloor. “She'll die without help,”says Trevor Long, leader of the rescue center.Using an onboard crane(吊车), the rescuers move the shark into their boat's 13-foot-long tank(缸). Then Dr. David Blyde gives the shark pain medicine and performs an operation to removethe spike. After that, the team sails with the shark to Sea World 33 miles away. They place the fish in a 49-foot-long tank and wait to see if she gets better.To give the shark's stomach time to get better, she isn't fed for the first few days. A week after her operation, Long offers the shark a small, dead fish. The animal refuses to eat. But days later when he drops another fish into her tank, the shark enjoys her meal. By now the shark's wounds are getting better.Two weeks after her rescue, they take the shark back to the boat and return her to Moreton Bay Marine Park. As the fish is lowered by the crane to the water's surface, two rescuers jump into the ocean and guide her into the sea. From t he boat, Long watches her swim away.“The shark has another chance,” Long says.1.What happens to the sand tiger shark? ( )A.She is unlucky and gets hurt badly.B.She has nothing to eat for a few days.C.She swims in Sea World and loses her way.D.She is seriously ill because of sea water.2.According to the text, Sea World .

( )A.Dangers from SharksB.Sand Tiger Shark RescueC.Moreton Bay Marine ParkD.A Rescue Team From Sea WorldPassage 2As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personalmemory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder(文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory(交互记忆)”.According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.5.The passage begins with two questions to . ( )A.show the author's attitudeB.introduce the main topicC.describe how to use the InternetD.explain how to store information6.What can we learn about the first experiment?

However, not everyone is a fan of them. On Sept. 6, an article described some male stars as too effeminate.This came after CCTV was criticized for inviting several young male stars to perform on First Class for the New Semester,an educational TV show for primary and secondary school students. After that, many parents left comments online, saying the stars in the show had a bad influence on their children.The popularity of effeminate male stars is partly down to the Japanese and South Korean pop culture, an expert told China Daily. However, the “femininity” of males isn’t a recent social phenomenon. In fact, being effeminate was popular among Chinese men centuries ago.Indeed, the debate about effeminate male stars has been going on for a while. In July, a Hong Kong singer said that he feels tired of seeing effeminate male stars during the singing reality show Sing! China. “It isn’t that they’re not good, but we should discover ourselves,” He said during the show. His opinion was shared by a Chinese director. “Some young actors are feminine and they should be more manly,” he said.Deng Xiquan, head of the Youth Research Institute at the China Youth and Children Research Center, believes such a phenomenon is completely natural.“It will be replaced by a new youth culture at some stage. If a man has feminine beauty, this doesn’t mean that he lacks responsibility,” Deng told China Daily. Deng’s opinion was echoed by the People’s Daily.“A man’s strength should be judged on the basis of their inner qualities—not their physical appearance,” it wrote.1.From the third paragraph, we can know that .()A. the popularity of effeminacy appeared in Japan firstB.young, effeminate male stars are not popular in South KoreaC.in China, being effeminate was popular hundreds of years agoD.Chinese experts don’t think effeminate male stars are popular2.Which of the following is TRUE about the Hong Kong singer?()A. He doesn’t like effeminate male stars.B.He thinks some young actors are more manly.C.He doesn’t know anything about Sing! China.D.He asks women to discover themselves.3.The underlined word “echoed” means“” in Chinese. ()A. 利用B.附和C.质疑D.声明4.What’s the passage mainly about?()A. “Feminine” men cause hot debates.B.The time being effeminate appeared.C.The way to become effeminate men.D.People criticize effeminate men.Ⅲ. 选词填空阅读下列短文,用方框内所给单词的正确形式填空。

He was sad recently because he thought that he had nothing left. One day, Peter went to ask a wise man for help. He said to the wise man, “I have nothing left, so I don't want to live.” The wise man smiled sympathetically(同情地).The wise man took out a piece of paper and drew a straight line down the middle. He explained that he would write down the things Peter had lost on the left side and the things Peter still had on the right side.The wise man asked, “When did your family leave you?”“What do you mean? They haven't left me. They love me!”“That's great!”said the wise man. “Then that will be the first thing on the right side—Family haven't left. Now, do you have freedom(自由)?”“. Of course I do!”“Good!That's the second one on the right side—You have freedom!”said the wise man, writing it down.After Peter was asked some more questions in the same way, he finally understood and smiled.“Things will change when you think of them in a different way!” he said.As a matter of fact, change your attitude and you will change your world. It's necessary to have a positive (积极的) attitude to life.1.Why did Peter ask a wise man for help? ()A.Because he found there was nothing to live for.B.Because he thought he had nothing in the world.C.Because the wise man would give him something.D.Because it was difficult for him to become rich.2.Which of the following is important to a person according to the wise man? ()①money②family③home town④freedomA.①②B.③④C.①③D.②④3.What can we put in the “”?()A.That's a silly questionB.That's really a shameC.Forget all about itD.Don't mention it4.What can we learn from this passage? ()A.A wise man can't help you.B.Solve problems by writing them down.C.Look at the bright side of life.D.Change the world when life is hard.Passage 2Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”These are certainly words that the millions of volunteers around the world could agree with. In the US, April is National Volunteer Month, which recognizes and thanks volunteers who lend their time, talent, and support to causes they care about.Volunteering means choosing to work without being paid for it. People who volunteer spend their time doing things they feel strongly about. For example, animal lovers may volunteer at an animal shelter to help improve the treatment and well-being of animals.For students, valuable lessons may also be learned by volunteering.Take Andrew Makhoul as an example. Makhoul didn't spend the 2012 spring break partying. Unlike his classmates, who planned on relaxing after a long time of hard work, the 19-year-old decided to do something for people who were less fortunate than himself.He travelled to an orphanage (孤儿院) in Guatemala in Central America. The orphanage is in one of the poorest parts of the country, and depends on volunteers to stay open. Makhoul doesn't speak much Spanish, but he found communication wasn't a problem: “You communicated with love,”according to an article on his university website. And what he gave out, he got back: “You could see love when you looked in their eyes.”Makhoul's first time as a volunteer only lasted a week, but by the end of that week, he knew he'd be back soon-because he saw love and hope.US author Sherry Anderson once wrote,“Volunteers don't get paid, not because they're worthless, but because they're priceless.”And this is perhaps why volunteers all around the world keep doing what they do.1.What is the use of Churchill's words? ()A.To show his strong idea.B.To start with an opinion.C.To make readers consider.D.To force readers to agree.2.Which is TRUE according to the passage? ()A.More Americans volunteer in May than any other month.B.Sometimes volunteers get some pay because of their work.C.Students can learn something valuable through volunteering.D.Makhoul found it difficult to communicate in the orphanage.3.What did Makhoul learn from his experience in volunteering? ()A.Nothing.B.Spanish.C.Love and hope.D.Culture.4.Which words best describes volunteers? ()A.Worthless.B.Priceless.C.Peaceful.D.Homeless.Ⅲ.[2019·广州改编]词汇运用阅读下面短文,然后根据括号内所给汉语意思写出单词的正确形式。
