Student helpers who did well can get prizes.BOne evening about 20 years ago, I watched a documentary about how, in 1947, a “flying saucer” had crashed in Roswell. Several people who had seen the crash were interviewed, including a nurse who said she had examined an alien who had been injured in the crash. At first, the people of Roswell were told that a flying saucer had crashed. Shortly afterwards they were told that it was not a flying saucer but a weather balloon. I decided that the only way I could learn the truth about flying saucers was to investigate (调查) them myself.I have done a lot of research and although I still haven’t discovered the truth about Roswell, I have discovered the truth about hundreds of other UFOs. A lot of UFOs are actually army planes or weather balloons, while others turn out to be natural phenomena (现象) like planets or comets (彗星). By far the largest number of UFOs turn out to be so-called “fireball” meteors—slow-moving meteors that can take up to a minute to travel across the night sky.When I’m investigating a UFO report, I arrange to meet the person at the place where they have seen the flying saucer. I like to interview a witness at the scene and then take photographs of the area. Then I speak to my contacts at local military (军事的) bases and weather station, and then check the witness’ details against my information.In about 95% of the cases I’ve dealt with, the “flying saucers” turn out to be weather balloons, planes or natural phenomena. That still leaves 5% of that, no matter what, just cannot be explained.23. The writer says that UFOs ______.A. always travel across the sky slowlyB. usually fly near natural phenomenaC. are always seen near weather balloonsD. often turn out to be a kind of meteor24. What will the writer do if you think you have seen a flying saucer?A. He’ll suggest that you contact a military base.B. He’ll take a photograph of you for his records.C. He’ll ask you to take a photograph of it for him.D. He’ll me et you and ask you to describe what you saw.25. When the writer investigates flying saucers, he ______ .A. makes sure that someone has taken photos of themB. gives the witness the names of people who can helpC. can’t find a proper explanation abo ut 5% of the casesD. always tells the local weather station before he arrivesCConsidered as one of the English language’s most talented poets, John Keats wrote poems that focused on imagination, human nature, and life. Although Keats didn't receive much education on literature, his own studies and interests brought him much success. Also, his own life situation made a great difference to his poems.Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family, the young John didn't attend a private school, but went to a public one. His mother was not well educated. His teachersand his family’s friends considered him as a common boy who preferred playing and fighting much more to minding his studies. After his father’s death in the e arly 1800s, followed by his mother's because of tuberculosis(肺结核), he began seeing life differently. He wanted to keep away from the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying medical treatment so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary dream had taken too much of his life，especially with his love for the poems of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, named O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written another full poem, but was sharply criticized (批评) by a magazine. However, it didn’t stop his dream of poems．John Keats’ next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story includes a farmer who falls in love with the moon and leads him to a trip of one boy's hope to deal with the limitations (限制) of being human. Following Endymion, however, he tried something more story-based and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry because of his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the “knowledge” connected to his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would like to mix all that he learned together. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and finally take his life in 1821.26. John Keats' thoughts about life changed because of __________ .A. Edmund Spenser's poetryB. the deaths of his parentsC. the criticism of a magazineD. his early education from school27. What is the common thing between John Keats and his mother?A. They received little education.B. They went to a private school.C. They died of the same disease.D. They showed strong interest in poetry.28. What can we infer from the passage?A. Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.B. The poem Hyperion wasn’t completed by Keats.C. Edmund Spenser was the greatest poet in Keats’ time.D. Keats’ family must have been very poor when he was young.DMore than 50 music students at New Milford High School in New Jersey, US, got a letter from their headmaster. The letter said that the school’s music department was in big trouble. The students had to pass a test, or the department would be shut down.On a Saturday, two officials greeted the nervous students. They asked the students to play a piece by Richard Strauss. But they had to sing the words to the music – German words!Other tasks were also difficult. One s tudent had to sing Mary had a Little Lamb, a children’s song, in an operatic (歌剧的) voice.After three hours of testing, students waited for the results. They met some students from the New Jersey Youth Orchestra (管弦乐团). The judges gave them a merely average grade.The worried New Milford students started to realize they had no chance. “I thought it was over,” said Bryan Olsen-Santana, a junior. “The person next to me was crying. I felt bad for her. I felt bad for myself, too, because music is everything to me.”But then the headmaster came and told them something very dramatic (戏剧性的): “Someone’s played a joke on you!”What was going on?The test was part of a reality TV show (电视真人秀) called “Schooled”. The students’ parents, the school and a TV network had arranged it together.Everything was fake. The two “officials” were actually comedians (喜剧演员). The “students from New Jersey Youth Orchestra” were from another school.There were hidden cameras. The students’ parents were hiding as they watched.As a reward for putting up with the joke, the students got gifts: MP3 players, digital cameras and school supplies. They were all from the show’s sponsor (赞助商).29. What is the letter about?A. The headmaster would retire next semester.B. The sc hool didn’t have money to run.C. The music department was in big trouble.D. The students had to give up music.30. The students were nervous before the test, because______.A. they were not good at musicB. the judges were very strictC. they thought they couldn’t passD. it would decide the future of the music department31. According to Olsen-Santana, we learn that______.A. their school failed the testB. he likes music very muchC. the test was just a jokeD. the girl next to him was sorry for herself32. What does the underlined word “fake” mean in the passage?A. 顺利的B. 假装的C. 受欢迎的D. 便捷的四、信息还原（本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分）根据对话内容，从方框内选择恰当的句子将对话补充完整。

Although it doesn’t show beautiful pictures or exciting scenes, it 12 tells the story of traditional Chinese craftsmanship and their techniques (技术). After watching the film, the 13 and faith (信仰) of the traditional culture may deeply touch you.Zhang Jin, the director of the documentary is from the 14 of Hunan. After living in a modem and busy city for many years, he became nostalgic(怀旧的) for the traditional crafts of his hometown, so he made up his mind to record them.

Let’s take a look at three of them.Things 3Things is an award-winning task manager. It helps users collect their thoughts and plan their time well.The app’s chief design is a to-do list. It allows users to add context (内容), such as the time, date or location that they plan to carry the task out. Itthen shows a “Today” view with the day’s tasks, and group’s thi ngs users doafter work under the heading “This Evening”. It puts later tasks in a listtitled “Upcoming”StoryZIn the age of smartphones, everyone is a photographer. From taking selfies to sharing them on social media (社交软件), photo-editing apps playan important role in making our pictures look perfect.StoryZ’s latest version takes it a step further. The app has two modes.The first one is “Ripple Effect (涟漪效应)”, which makes still images (图像) move and come to life. It can create amazing animated photographs.Another one is “Motion Effect (动态效果)”, which creates video stories onstill images. It can turn your photo into animated GIFTaoMixIf you want to relax, sleep better or focus, the sounds of nature are an excellent choice. TaoMix allows you to listen to some soft sounds to releasestress and helps you take a break from your busy life.This white noise app provides hundreds of nature sounds. You can hear sounds of birds, waves of he sea, falling rain, blowing wind, and manymore! Better yet, you are not limited to one sound. You can build asoundscape (音景) by choosing several at a time.A. TwoB. ThreeC. FourD. Five24. Timmy’s mother likes taking selfies to share them on social medi a, Which app mentioned inthe article can help her?A. ThingsB. StoryZC. TaoMix.D. None of the above.25.

Motion Effect can create video stories on still images but it can’t turn your photo intoanimated GIF.D. The white noise app provides thousands of nature sounds.BHow far can scientists let their curiosity go? The Ig Noble Prize, a spoof (滑稽模仿) of theprestigious (权威的) Nobel Prize, exists to award unusual or unimportant achievements in scientific research.The awards are given every year to the 10 strangest research projects of the year. It is to “honor achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think”.On September 12, the 2019 winners of the Ig Nobel prize were announced. Here are three of them. See how they bring you fun and make you think.Medicine Prize: PizzaIt’s one of the world’s most popular food, but what if we told you that a pizza can protect you against illness and death? According to the Ig Nobel Medicine Prize winner, eating more pizzas can lower the risk of cancer and heart disease—if your pizza is filled with fruits and veggies. These provide flavonoids (黄酮类化合物) to fight against certain disease. So, if you’re a pizza lover, you now have one more reason to love it.Economics Prize: Dirty MoneyAs one of the most frequently passed items on the planet, paper money is known to pick up all kinds of bacteria (细菌). Which country’s money is the dirtiest? To find the answer, an international team of scientists compared seven countries’ paper money. The y found that the notes including more polymer (聚合物) specifically the Romanian Leu, carry more drug-resistant pathogens (病原体). Perhaps this will make cashless (无现金的) payments more popular.Biology Prize: Cockroach (蟑螂)Cockroaches are well known for their survival abilities, but few people know they can sense magnetic (磁性的) fields. More surprisingly, an international team found that dead cockroaches have more magnetic properties (特性) than live ones. That’s because magnetic properties drop when the temperature gets higher.So if you can stand cockroaches, they may be good magnetic sensors.26. According to the survey, which country’s paper money is the dirtiest?A. RomanB. LebanonC. RussiaD. Romania27. What kind of cockroach may have more magnetic properties?A. A dead one near the stove.B. A live one near the stove.C. A dead one near the fridge.D. A live one on the ground.28. Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?A. The Ig Nobel Prize is a kind of prestigious Nobel Prize.B. If a person has cancer and heart disease, he shouldn’t eat too many pizzas.C. Because paper money is useless, this makes cashless payments more popular.D. Because cockroaches have magnetic properties, people may apply this feature to sensors.CWhen we wake up feeling sleepy and with dark circles under eyes, many of us often think “I’m going to go to bed earlier tomorrow!” But however determined (有决心的) we are, chances are that we don’t stick to our promise.This behavio r is called “bedtime procrastination (拖延症), and results from lack of (缺乏) self-control and our body clock, reported HuffPost.According to a study carried out by a group of health psychologists at Utrecht University in the Netherlands (荷兰) in 2014, bedtime procrastination is a common problem. In their study, 53 percent of the 2,400 participants (参与者) said they didn’t follow their sleep schedule (日程), delaying (延迟) it at least twice a week.It’s found that they delayed bedtime not because they liked to stay up late, but they couldn’t stop doing other trivial (琐碎的) things, which were keeping them up in the first place.“People who generally have trouble fighting against temptations (诱惑) and sticking to their intentions (意图) are also more likely to delay going to bed,” Floor Kroese, a psychologist at Utrecht University, further explained to HuffPost.Yet, according to scientists, lack of self-control is not the only thing to blame (责备). Our body clock also plays an important role when it comes to bedtime.In order to check the influence of the body clock on sleep, psychologists at Ulm University in Germany studied the sleep patterns (模式) of 108 people in February. It was found that those who get up late are more likely to postpone their bedtime than those who wake early every morning.And more surprisingly, night owls (夜猫子) would go to bed late at the very beginning of theweekday, even though they had to get up early for work and school. It’s their special body clock that plays a part in delaying their bedtime, reported Popular Science.29. What does the underlined word “postpone” in Paragraph 7 probably mean?A. make changes aboutB. forget aboutC. put awayD. put off30. What did the study by Utrecht University find?A. 53 percent of the participant delay their bedtime every day.B. The lack of self-control is the only reason for bedtime procrastination.C. Bedtime procrastination is particularly common among the Dutch.D. They delayed bedtime because they kept doing trivial things.31. What’s the best title of this passage?A. A common problemB. A study carried out by psychologistsC. Bedtime procrastinationD. Our special body clockDDorothy and her friends were worried to get out of the forest as soon as they could, so they hurried along the yellow brick road. It was not long before they came to a wide river.“What can we do now?” Dorothy exclaimed. “There isn’t a tree tall enough to fall across this river.”“There’s no problem,” the Scarecrow (稻草人) said. “The Tin Woodman will use his axe to build a raft (木筏).”And this is what the Tin Woodman did. And while he was busy making the raft, Dorothy found some wild fruit and nuts, which she ate hungrily. Then, because it was taking the Tin Woodman a long time to finish the raft, Dorothy lay down and went to sleep.The night passed without any problems, and the next morning the raft was ready, Dorothy sat in the middle with Toto. The Lion stood at one end and nearly sank (下沉) it because he was so big and heavy. The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman stood at the other end. They both had long poles (杆子) that they used to push the raft through the water.At first all went well, but then the river became so deep that the poles could not touch the bottom. The Tin Woodman said, “If we cannot stay near the land and the yellow brick road, the Wicked Witch of the West will use her magic and put a spell (咒语) on us.”“And then we won’t meet the Wizard, and I won’t get any brains,” the Scarecrow said.“And I won’t get a heart,” the Tin Woodman said.“And I won’t get any courage,” the Lion said.“And I’ll never get home to Kansas,” Dorothy said. “we must do something.”The Scarecrow was able to push the raft to the river bank. Dorothy, Toto, the Lion, and the Tin Woodman got off. Before the Scarecrow could get off, however, the raft moved away from the river band and carried the Scarecrow down the river.Dorothy said, “Perhaps we’ll meet the raft further down the river. The most important thing now is to get back to the yellow brick road and continue on our way to the City of Emeralds.”The Lion and the Tin Woodman agreed, and they set off along the river bank. It was not long before they saw the Scarecrow. He was holding onto the pole in the middle of the river. There was no sight of the raft.32. What probably happened to Dorothy and her friends before the passage?A. They had a good time in the forest.B. They met danger in a forest.C. They met the Wizard.D. Their dream came true.33. Who wants to get a heart?A. DorothyB. The ScarecrowC. The LionD. The Tin Woodman34.Which is the correct order of the things below?①They had long poles to push the raft through the water.②Dorothy found some wild fruit and nuts.③The Scarecrow was holding onto the pole in the middle of the river.④The Tin Woodman began to build a raft.A.③②④①B.④②①③C.②④①③D.④①③②35. What can we infer from this passage?A. The Woodman didn’t want the Scarecrow to go on with them.B. The Wicked Witch of the West helped the Scarecrow in the end.C. They hoped to meet Wizard in the City of Emeralds.D. The Scarecrow wanted to meet the wizard by himself.第II卷四、阅读表达阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后的表格中填入恰当的单词，每空一词。

Are you so worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? If so, then you know what stress is. Stress is what you feel when you are worried about something. This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, sad, scared, or afraid——all of which can give you a stomachache or a headache.However, there are different kinds of stress. Some kinds of stress are good and others are bad. Good stress might happen when you’re called to answer questions in class or wh en you have to give a talk. This kind of stress can help you to do things better. For example, you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare better before the test.On the other hand, bad stress can happen if the stress lasts too long. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting, if a family member is ill, if you’re having problems at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy every day. That kind of stress isn’t going to help you work well. And it can actually make you sick.The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. Make sure you keep yourself in mind: Sleep, Exercise, Leisure（休闲）, and Food. If you get enough sleep and eat properly, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you’ll probably feel less stressed.答案：76. worries 77. mind 78.

They also took part in an online game of "catch" against a computer programme that was designed to "throw" the ball to other players more often, but participants believed they were playing with real people online.Participants were then introduced to human-like products, including a vacuum cleaner（真空吸尘器）designed to appear as if it was smiling. At the same time, they were asked to consider questions like "how much does it help you?"The results showed that the participants were happy with the comfort they got from the machines and didn't need to look for human interaction.But it wasn't all bad news. "As soon as we tell them we know that it looks like the vacuum cleaner is smiling, they seemed to realize it was a machine and not a person, " Jenny Olson, professor of marketing at KU, told Daily Mail.Researchers believe the results are important for consumers（消费者）to realize how these types of products could influence their social interaction with real people."If someone notices they are talking more to Siri（语⾳助⼿）lately, maybe that has something to do with feeling lonely, " Olson said. "I think it's important to be aware of it."The study could also help companies design products that can increase the well-being of people who feel lonely, without reducing their interest in social interaction."Maybe it is more about improving our present relationships," Olson said, "such as taking a break from screen time and sparing some time developing your real personal connections."7. Researchers from the University of Kansas found that ________________.A. human-like devices may help people interact with othersB. lonely people cannot easily stop using human-like devicesC. interaction with human-like devices may make people feel lonelyD. human-like devices may reduce people's social interaction in real life8. During the experiments, participants _____________.A. were shown devices with human featuresB. played online games with real peopleC. were allowed to talk with human-like devicesD. were encouraged to interact with their teammates9. What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. The scientists from KU.B. People using Siri.C. The participants.D. Real people online.10. According to Olson, which is WRONG about the importance of the study?A. It can help companies improve their products.B. It warns people never to use human-like devices.C. It reminds consumers of the disadvantages of the products.D. It may help people improve their present relationships.四、词汇运⽤ (每⼩题1分, 满分10分)1.

His father was a wealthy businessman. In Defoe's early life, he experienced some of the most unusual events in English history: in 1665, 70,000 were killed by the Great Plague of London, and next year, the Great Fire of London which left only Defoe's and two other houses standing in his neighborhood. In 1667, when he was probably about seven, a Dutch fleet（舰队）sailed up the Medway by way of the River Thames and attacked the town of Chatham. His mother Annie had died by the time he was about ten.Defoe is among the founders of the English novel, known to have used at least 198 pen names. He is most famous for his novel Robinson Crusoe, which is second only to the Bible in its numberof translations. Defoe was a prolific writer, producing more than three hundred works—books, pamphlets, and journals—on diverse topics, including politics, crime, religion, marriage, psychology, and the supernatural. Defoe wrote many political tracts and often was in trouble with the government, including prison time. He was also a pioneer of business and economic journalism（新闻业）. Intellectuals and political leaders paid attention to his fresh ideas and sometimes consulted with him.Defoe also entered the world of business as a general merchant, dealing at different times in hosiery, general woollen goods, and wine. His ambitions were great and he was able to buy a country estate and a ship, though he was rarely out of debt. He was forced to declare bankruptcy(宣布破产) in 1692. On 1 January 1684, Defoe married Mary Tuffley, the daughter of a London merchant, receiving a dowry（嫁妆）of £3,700—a huge amount by the standards of the day. With his debts and political difficulties, the marriage may have been troubled, but it lasted about 50 years and produced eight children.Daniel Defoe died on 24 April 1731. He had probably experienced a stroke(中风). He was buried in Borough of Islington, London, where a monument was built in memory of him.29.

Researchers have 1 some interesting facts.Perhaps, we prefer to sit 2 to people like ourselves. Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near. We even choose to sit near someone 3 looks like us. People with glasses sit near 4 people with glasses. People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.We seem to believe 5 people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar attitude, or even we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes that’s true 6 it's a pity if we always stick to the same people, the same group.

Men, women and young people all suffer from stress. There are many causes, such as death, marriage, money, moving house, changing jobs, ending relationships and so on.So how do you know if you suffer from stress? Finish the Stress Test first!If you have more than two “Yes” among these questions, you must be suffering from stress.So what can you do about it?Doing yoga, chewing gum and playing with worry beads are all common ways of relieving stress.However, doctors now say that there are simpler ways. They say that people should laugh and smile more often. When you laugh and smile, your body relaxes. They also say that people, especially men should cry more frequently, because crying is the natural way of relieving stress.1. You may suffer from stress if you .A. never depend on alcohol or cigarettes.B. can sleep without sleeping pills.C. often communicate with anyone else.D. get angry easily when things go wrong.2. From the passage, we can know that .A. many social problems can cause stress.B. doing yoga is the most useful way to relieve stress.C. young people suffer more from stress than the old.D. you are suffering from stress only if all the answers are yes.3. Which of the following is NOT a way to relieve stress?A. Doing yoga.B. Laughing and crying.C. Playing with worry beads.D. Taking sleeping pills.BA recent study has found that being exposed(显露) to low temperatures creates more good fat which burns calories in the body. Being cold follows the effects of exercise, protecting against obesity(肥胖) and improving health. The researchers have discovered that exposure to cold changes the make-up of gut bacteria(肠道细菌), which can lead tofat-burning, improve glucose metabolism(葡萄糖代谢), and reduce body weight.While ordinary white fat, known as bad fat, piles on when we eat more calories than we burn, brown fat seems to burn extra calories to produce heat. Babies have lots of brown fat — they need it to keep warm — but there are small amounts in the necks of adults, too. Studies have shown that staying in a cold environment can speed up the formation of more brown fat in the body.Researchers predict the health benefits of being exposed to cold may be linked to gut bacteria. They exposed the first group of mice to cold temperature of 6 ℃for up to 10 days and discovered this caused a major shift in the make-up of the mice’s gut microbes(肠道微⽣物), preventing the mice from gaining weight.Then, the gut bacteria were transplanted (移植)into the second group of mice that did not have the gut microbes. (肠道微⽣物) It was found that they improved glucose metabolism and agreed with cold temperatures. The mice also lost weight as the changes in gut bacteria improved the formation of brown fat. However, after three weeks of cold exposure, the body weight began to remain stable.Professor Mirko Trajkovski of the University of Geneva claims that they provide powerful evidence that gut microbes play a key role in people's ability to adapt to the environment. They are excited about testing whether targeting gut microbes could be a promising approach(⽅法，途经) for preventing obesity and related conditions.4. What's the new finding of a recent study?A. Good fat has nothing to do with calories.B. Exercise can make people become fat.C. Being cold helps people lose weight.D. Gut bacteria will stop glucose metabolism.5. What do we know about the brown fat?A. It's usually considered as bad fat.B. It will fail to produce in cold bodies.C. It can't be found in the bodies of adults.D. It burns more calories in low temperatures.6. With the gut bacteria, the second group of mice .A. kept losing weight continuallyB. had much less brown fat in the coldC. got better ability to accept the coldD. produced more gut microbes in the body7. According to Mirko Trajkovski, the findings .A. could provide new treatment for overweight peopleB. show people how to get used to the coldC. remind people of the importance of keeping warmD. may cause more people to take exerciseCIf you h ave a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz（奔驰）with a fare（费⽤）of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith (信⽤) is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose (宽松的) check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine for free.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the money. From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly (相应地).With so many loopholes (漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “small advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.In a society of such high moral（道德）practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?8. While taking a taxi in Finland, a passenger _________.A. can go anywhere without having to pay the driverB. can never be refused by the taxi driver wherever he wants to goC. only pays two US dollars for a taxi rideD. needs to provide good faith demonstration (证明) before leaving without paying9. We can know from the passage that in Finland _________.A. big hotels provide meals for all kinds of dinersB. big hotels are mostly poorly managedC. both hotel guests and outside diners are served food for freeD. big hotels provide meals for only those who live in the hotels10. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The workers can get more pay by working long hours.B. The workers are always honest with their working hours.C. The bosses are too busy to check the working hours of their workers.D. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance （提前，事先）about the pay.11. The underlined word “those” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to _________.A. people who are worth praisingB. people who often have meals in big hotelsC. people who often take taxisD. people who are dishonestDThat morning, we noticed a cab following Sir Henry and Dr.Mortimer in London. But who?We went to Sir Henry's hotel. Holmes asked Dr. Mortimer if anyone with a black beard lived in or near Baskerville Hall.“Yes," said Dr.Mortimer,“Barrymore. "“We must send a telegram to check whether Barrymore is in London or at Baskerville Hall," said Holmes.Sir Henry said he wanted to go to Baskerville Hall.“OK”, said Holmes. “But you mustn't go alone. Watson can go with you. "Sir Henry and I agreed to take the 10:30 train on Saturday.Holmes thought deeply on the way home: the story of the Hound, Sir Charles's death, the strange letter, the missing boot and the black-bearded man. He sat in his room all afternoon, smoking and thinking.Just before dinner, a telegram arrived. It said,“Barrymore is at Baskerville Hall. "“That becomes a dead end, Watson. We will have to look for another way to go forward.Just then the door bell rang. It was the cab driver who drove the man with the black beard. “I got a message that you are asking for me", he said. “I've never had a complaint. I came here to ask you what you had against me! ”“No, no, ”said Holmes.“ Instead, I'll give you money if you tell me about the man in your cab this morning. He watched this house at 10:00 and then told you to follow the two gentlemen. "The driver looked surprised and then answered,“The man said he was a detective and that I shouldn't tell anyone about him. "“It's serious, my friend, and you may be in trouble if you refuse to answer.”“His name,” said the driver, “was Sherlock Holmes. "I'd never seen Holmes more surprised. Then he laughed. “He scored against me that time, Watson. "The driver told us everything he knew. Holmes gave him the money and sent him away. “This is a dangerous enemy, Watson.”—Taken from The Hound of the Baskervilles12. According to the passage, the underlined phrase “dead end” in Paragraph 10 means_______.A. Holmes wanted to give up solving the caseB. the road in front of Baskerville Hall was closedC. the cab driver didn't find his way and turned roundD. they didn't know who the man with a black beard was13. According to the passage, we can know that the cab driver__________.A. was as dangerous as the black-bearded manB. received a complaint from the black-bearded manC. didn't know why Holmes asked for him at the beginningD. didn't tell Holmes anything about the black-bearded man14. By the sentence “He scored against me that time”, Holmes means “The man gained an advantage over meby_______.”A. watching this house at ten o’clockB. following Sir Henry and Dr. MortimerC. telling the driver his name was HolmesD. asking the driver to keep his secret15.

Sometimes, when Mr Ballmer and his 16-year old daughter listen to rock music together and talk about pop culture, he remembers his more distant（遥远的）relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.“I never said to my mom, ‘Hey, the new Weezer album（唱片）is really great. How do you like it?’” says Ballmer. “There was a complete gap（代沟）in taste.”Music was not the only gulf. From clothing to activities, earlier parents and children often appeared to move in separate directions.Today, the generation（代）gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Talks on sex and drugs would never take place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, require trust and friendship that can continue into adult period.No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, “To my mother, my best friend.”But family experts（专家）warn that the new equality can also lead to less respect for parents. “There’s still a lot of strictness and authority（权威）on parents, but changes are happening,” says Kerrie, a psychology expert. “In the middle of those changes, there are many questions among parents.”Family researchers offer some reasons for these changing roles and attitudes（态度）. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes brought about more open communication and more democracy（民主）.“My parents were on the ‘before’ side of that change, but today’s parents, were on the ‘after’ side,” explains Mr Ballmer. “Life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”（）26. The underlined word “gulf” in Para. 3 most probably means .A. interestB. mysteryC. differenceD. separation（）27. The change in today’s parent-child relationship is .A. more questions among parentsB. new equality between parents and childrenC. less respect for parents from childrenD. more strictness and authority on parents（）28. The purpose of the passage is to .A. describe the difficulties today's parents meet withB. discuss the development of the parent-child relationshipC. suggest the ways to deal with the parent-child relationshipD. compare today’s parent-child relationship with that in the pastCAccording to a study published last week in the journal Science, scientists have found a way to hack（侵入）a plant’s genes（基因）in order to make it use sunlight more quickly. Someday, the results may increase the amount（数量）of food produced around the world.Photosynthesis（光合作用）is the word used to describe how plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to make their own food. Plants use less than 1 percent of the energy available（可利用的）to them. And by hacking a plant’s genes, scientists have been able to increase the amount of leaf growth on plants by between 14 and 20 percent.Specifically, scientists hacked a plant’s protective system. Normally（正常地）, it starts working when a plant senses light, creating more leaves. When the plant is in shade, the protective system is turned off. And the process is slow.Stephen Long, the leader of the study, compared a plant’s protective system to light-adjusting sunglasses. When a person wears such glasses outside during the day, the lenses（镜片）darken and lighten, depending on how sunny it is. Plants do the same thing, he said. But in plants, the adjustment （调节）can take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour. This makes it hard for plants to get the right amount of sunlight needed to create food.The new study sped up the process. By changing the plants’ genes, the protective system switched on and off more quickly than normal. As a result, leaf growth on the plants that the scientists used in the study increased. Scientists carried out the study on tobacco plants. But they think the genetic development would produce the same results in other plants such as corn and rice.（）29. is/are compared to the lenses of sunglasses by Stephen Long.A. A plant’s genesB. A plant’s foodC. A plant’s protective systemD. A plant’s leaves（）30. What can we learn about a plant’s protective system from the passage?A. It only uses a little of the energy available to it.B. Whether it is turned on or off depends on sunlight.C. It has no connection with plants’ use of sunlight.D. It can increase the amount of leaf growth in minutes.（）31. What is the main idea of the passage?A. How to speed up the process of photosynthesis.B. How to increase the yield（产量）of crops in the future.C. Hacking a plant’s genes can make it use sunlight better.D. Tobacco is different from other plants when sensing light.DSince I was about 4, I knew there was something different about my body. I was always making strange movements and noises that no one else did. At first, my parents thought I was doing these things on purpose to get attention, but I really couldn't control them.Later, my doctor told my parents that the movements were called tics（抽搐）, and that they would go away as I got older.But then when I was 6, we moved to a new city. Clearly, the stress often made my tics get worse. My hands would move suddenly and I would sometimes jump, lifting my legs.My parents took me to an expert in the area. The doctor said my tics were caused by something called Tourette’s Syndrome（图列特氏综合症）, which I’d always have in the future, and it might get a lot worse as I got a little older.My therapist（理疗师）tried to help me control by teaching me “competing responses”-When you feel a tic is coming, you figure out another movement to make. For example, instead of jumping, I would tap（拍）my ankles together and said, “I’m in control of you, tic.”Unluckily, that didn’t work. The harder I tried, the worse they got. Their help just made me even angrier and sadder.I was also afraid that my friends would think it was strange of me to make sudden movements and noises. So it took me a lot of courage to tell them my problem. To my surprise, they thought it wasn’t a big deal and accepted me as a common girl. Besides, my fourth grade teacher knew all about Tourette’s and was very understanding. I didn’t worry as much, for I knew he wouldn’t let anyone make fun of me at school.Lately, my tics have gotten much better. I finally figured out that the best way for me to control them is to relax and not to worry so much. I’ve stopped worrying that I’m different. Everyone is different somehow, and there’s nothing wrong with that.My Tourette’s isn’t gone, but that’s OK. In some ways, I think it has been a good thing. It’s actually given me more confidence. Even more importantly, being strong enough to deal with Tourette’s has made me feel like I can face other harder problems. I’ve won the Academic Achievement Award at my school three years in a row. Recently, I won a silver medal in a piano festival. There is a lot more I want to do. I’m not going to let Tourette’s stop me!（）32. What did the parents think of the girl’s problem at first?A. She would be OK when she was older.B. They worried a lot about her.C. They thought she wanted to get their attention.D. They thought she needed more help.（）33. Which of the following is NOT a sign of Tourette’s?A. Clearing throat（喉咙）for no reason.B. Jumping up suddenly.C. Rolling eyes quickly.D. Asking lots of questions.（）34. Why does the writer think in some ways Tourrete’s is good for her?A. Her teacher took good care of her.B. She built up confidence in fighting against it.C. She won a silver medal in a piano festival.D. Her friends thought it was not a big deal.（）35. What can we learn from the girl’s experience?A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.B. Action speaks louder than words.C. Change your thought and you change the world.D. Where there is a will, there is a way.四、阅读表达阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
