In the evening, people went into the streets with all kinds of lanterns, watching lion or dragon dances, eating yuanxiao and setting off firecrackers.The festival also provided a chance for unmarried young girls t o go out freely in search of their true love, since they weren’t normally allowed to do so.

C D. DBThere is a busy street corner beside a bus station where kids change buses going to and from school. It’s not a pretty place. There’s noisy traffic and the nearby buildings are gray and unloved. However, it has a patch (小块地) of beauty—a small garden called Pete’s Patch.Pete is one of the kids who wait here to change buses for nine minutes each day. In the past, it wasn’t a fun or pleasant place. There was nowhere nice to walk and the patch next to the station was littered with trash (垃圾). Pete had no choice because this was the only way.He felt like he was wasting his life away. There was nothing to look at, nothing to keep him busy, and hanging around like that each day drove him mad. He knew he couldn’t do anything to change the bus company’s timetable, but he could make the nine minutes more enjoyable for himself and others.He asked his mom for some trash bags. That week, he filled his nine minutes each day by picking up the trash. On the weekend, he asked his dad to drive down and take the trash bags to the dump (垃圾场). On Monday morning, the patch looked so much cleaner and nicer.Then next week, Pete began to pull weeds (杂草). One of his friends came to help. Soon the patch was looking good, but some dirty words on the walls of the bus station were really making him angry.Pete had an idea. He painted a mural (壁画) to cover the dirty words. When he started to work, more of his school friends joined him each day.Now Pete and his friends are proud of that patch, and they sure aren’t going to let anyone mess it up. They have even planted some fresh flowers. While waiting for their next bus, they walk through the patch and collect trash.One Monday, however, as he rode the bus to school, Pete looked, as usual, toward the patch. To his surprise, there was a sign on it. His friends had painted it. It read: Pete’s Patch.24.Why wasn’t the area around the bus station a pleasant place?A. Because there were too many people.B. Because the flowers weren’t pretty.C. Because the walls weren’t colorful.D. Because there was a lot of trash.25.What did Pete do to make the patch look nicer?A. He pulled weeds with his friend.B. He planted flowers with his mom.C. He changed the bus company’s timetable.D. He took a picture of the bus station’s walls.26.Which words can best describe Pete?A. Hardworking and shy.B. Humorous and smart.C. Helpful and creative.D. Polite and brave.27.What does the story tell us?A. Time flies but memories last forever.B. Good friends stick together like glue.C. Parents should always help their kids.D. A little action makes the world better.CResearch shows that the discovery of exoplanets (planets outside our solar system) has changed science fiction (小说). Now, books and movies present these planets more exactly, making science fiction more important than before.Imagine learning about stars in a classroom. You could start with complex (复杂的) pictures and facts, or you could watch the movie Star Wars where Luke Skywalker sees two suns from his home planet, Tatooine. Which will more easily awaken the interest of a sleepy high school class?Science fiction has always caught our attention and it has inspired (激励) scientists to go for their dreams. For this reason, it is sometimes used to communicate science to the public, even complex ideas. To be sure that this is a useful way, it is necessary to understand how science fiction shows actual science.Emma Johanna Puranen and her team from the University of St Andrews and the Austrian Academy of Sciences did some research, studying a lot of science fiction works, including novels, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and video games to see how science fiction reflects (反映) real scientific discoveries about exoplanets. “Most stories that are set in space will finally have a scene (场景) on an exoplanet,” explains Puranen. “The reason for using exoplanets is that there was a huge change in our scientific understanding in 1995 when the first exoplanet around a sun-like star was discovered.”“Traditionally in science fiction, mostly there have been Earth-like planets,” explains Puranen. “But what has changed since the discovery of real exoplanets is that the fictional exoplanets have actually become a bit less Earth-like.”According to real science, many exoplanets are very different from Earth and often not in the “Goldilocks zone”, where conditions are friendlier to life as we know it. “I can guess that maybe writers of science fiction are reading all these headlines about worlds that are covered in lava or where it’s raining diamonds, which you see in the media,” says Puranen.Science fiction, in a way, reflects the knowledge and discoveries of its time. This makes it a valuable tool for science communication. It can introduce people to new scientific ideas in an interesting and understandable way. This research highlights the connection between scientific discoveries and creativity. While exploring the universe, science fiction can develop curiosity (好奇心) and make further research possible, making the subject of exoplanets an important example of how science and imagination improve each other.28.The writer mentioned the movie Star Wars to ________.A. explain what an exoplanet is like in a humorous wayB. present the result of the latest research about exoplanetsC. show an interesting way of sharing science with everyoneD. introduce a popular scientific movie by a famous director29.How has science fiction changed after the discovery of the first exoplanet?A. It gives more attention to Earth.B. It describes the Earth differently.C. Science fiction has lost interest in explaining exoplanets.D. Exoplanets in science fiction have become less Earth-like.30.The words “Goldilocks zone” in Paragraph 6 most probably mean ________.A. a space found on an exoplanetB. an important part of our solar systemC. an area which is good for scientific activitiesD. a place that provides living environment for life31.The writer probably agrees that ________.A. science fiction has played an active part in communicating scienceB. scientific discoveries have slowed the development of imaginationC. science fiction has become less popular because of scientific discoveriesD. new scientific discoveries have made science fiction easier to understand四、阅读表达（共10分）32.Did you know tomato ketchup, the most popular sauce (酱), was invented in China? It dates back thousands of years. People living along the coasts and rivers of southern China began to make the first ketchup by salting and fermenting (发酵) fish and shrimp. At first, this early ketchup was known only in southern China. After around 200 B．C． (Han Dynasty), the fish sauce became popular in the whole country, especially in a place called Fujian. There, the sauce got the name ketchup, which means fish sauce in Hokkien, the language of southern Fujian. Later, people from Fujian began to travel to places like Indonesia, where they built factories for making traditional Chinese sauces like ketchup—and that’s where the British first discovered it.In the early 1600s, British sailors who were traveling to Indonesia began to develop a taste for ketchup. Their food on ships was boring, and ketchup made it taste better. Before long, they brought lots of ketchup home. But it was expensive, so the British started trying to make their own. A London cookbook from 1742 had a ketchup recipe (配方) with beer, fish, mushrooms, and spices.It was in the mid-1800s that the British started using tomatoes in ketchup. This was different from the fishy ketchup. Since tomatoes went bad fast, the company, Heinz, began to use vinegar (醋) in ketchup to make sure it could be stored for a long time.In the late 1800s, ketchup production and popularity began to rise in America. So, the makers in America increased ketchup production, creating recipes to satisfy Americans’ taste. It was a bit sweeter and thicker than British ketchup. By around 1910, ketchup began to look like the ketchup we put on McDonald’s fries today.However, there are also some differences between the ketchup of 1910 and today. In today’s ketchup, corn syrup (玉米糖浆) is used, not sugar. What’s more, to meet people’s needs for a healthy lifestyle, some companies also make healthier ones without sugar.From a fishy sauce in ancient Asia to a “goes-great-with-everything” sauce, ketchup has a long history full of changes.(1) Who made the first ketchup?_______________________________(2) Why did British sailors like ketchup? _______________________________(3) When did ketchup begin to look like the one we eat today? ________________________________(4) From a fishy sauce to today’s ketchup, what are the reasons for changing the ketchup recipe? (At least 3 reasons) _______________________________五、根据中文意思和英文提示词语写出句子。

And through one's eyes, we can read sorrow, happiness, encouragement, and many other emotions（情感）.Eyes are always the most direct organs to reveal our thoughts.Until now I still remember an experience, which happened when I took part in a singing competition at the age of nine. It was the power of my mother's eyes that encouraged me to go for it. I had shown great interest in singing competition. With my mother's company and encouragement, I decided to meet that challenge. Standing on the stage, I suddenly found I had become the focus of all attention. I got so nervous that I couldn't even keep my eyes open. When it was my turn to be introduced to the audience and sing, I became even more nervous, I felt my legs were shaking and my memory seemed to have left me-- I couldn't remember anything. Searching for help, I met my mother's eyes which were sparkling with encouragement and strong power. It seemed that they were speaking to me," Take it easy. You can do it! I'll always be with you !"I read the message in her eyes and at that moment I got my confidence back and began to sing my song. When I came down from the stage, she came up to me, saying, "Great! I'm proud of you!" And gave me a big hug. At that moment, I saw her eyes filled with tears of joy .Sometimes, you see, just a look of encouragement from a loved one can make a shy person brave.29.What's author's purpose of telling us about her unforgettable experience?A. To prove that we can express ourselves through our eyes.B. To explain that our eyes are an important part of our bodies.C. To share her unforgettable experience with us.D. To tell us how she became brave.30. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The author wasn't interested in the singing competition at all.B.

Successful.D. Special.阅读短文，还原句子Have you had a headache during a test? Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? If so, then you know what stress is. 1 .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. 2 . Good stress might happen when you’re called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech. 3 .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 sick, 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. 4 .The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. 5 .If you get enough sleep and eat properly, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you’ll probably feel less stressed.A. And it can actually make you sickB. Some kinds of stress are good and others are badC. This kind of stress can help you to get things better doneD. Stress is what you feel when you are worried about somethingE. Make sure you keep yourself in mind: Sleep, Exercise, and Food阅读短文回答问题Most of us use alarm clocks to wake up at the right time for school or work. We look at our watches to know the right time for the bus or train. However, there is also a right time to eat, sleep, exercise, and take medicine, too. We can’t look at a clock for the r ight time for these activities. We must listen to the clock inside our bodies: the biological clock(生物钟)Barbara Wells exercised every morning. She woke up at 6:00 am. She ran about two miles before she went to work. But Barbara’s legs and back(后背) started to hurt. She did some exercises before she ran. But her legs and back still hurt. She ran slower, but the pain didn’t stop. Barbara talked to her doctor. The doctor said,“Don’t run in the morning. Try to exercise later in the day. That is the time when your body is at the right temperature for exercises after work.” Her legs and back don’t hurt anymore.Today, doctors are learning more about chronobiology (时间生物学)，the study of biologyclocks. They are learning about the importance of time for our bodies. For example, it is best for people to go to sleep at the same time every night and to eat only when they’re hungry. Also, doctors discovered that some illness, such as heart attacks(心脏病）, occur(发生)most often in the morning. This information tells them that the best time to take heart medication may be at night. When patients take heart medicine at night, they may prevent a heart attack in the morning.Many doctors believe chronobilogy can help us live healthier lives. It may be the right time to listen to these doctors!1. Do we all have a biological clock inside our bodies?____________________________________________________ .2.

Yes, eating! The Ethiopians discovered coffee around 600 years ago. They used coffee beans and animal fat as food on long journeys across Africa. The Arabs were the first to drink coffee. They found it helped them stay awake while praying at night.Around 1600, people in Europe began to drink coffee. One Dutch farmer decided to grow his own coffee. He started a plantation on the island of Java in Indonesia. Soon farmers in Central and South America were doing the same. Today, most of the world's coffee still comes from Africa, Central and South America, and Indonesia.Medical studies say that three cups of coffee a day is OK. However, some people want to stop completely. Doctors say they should stop slowly. They should drink fewer cups of coffee each day for a week. People who stop fast often get terrible headaches as a result.【Notes】journey n. 旅程pray v. 祈祷plantation n. 农场，种植园1．What did the Ethiopians eat for food on their long journey across Africa?________________________________________________________________2．What good did the Arabs find about coffee when they first drank it?They found coffee_________________________________________________3．Who brought coffee to Indonesia?________________________________________________________________4．How many cups of coffee every day is OK for every one?________________________________________________________________5．What will happen if you stop drinking coffee too fast?________________________________________________________________短文写作足够的睡眠时间对学生来讲很重要，然而调查显示，许多学生馳蝴不足。

And through one's eyes, we can read sorrow, happiness, encouragement, and many other emotions（情感）.Eyes are always the most direct organs to reveal our thoughts.Until now I still remember an experience, which happened when I took part in a singing competition at the age of nine. It was the power of my mother's eyes that encouraged me to go for it. I had shown great interest in singing competition. With my mother's company and encouragement, I decided to meet that challenge. Standing on the stage, I suddenly found I had become the focus of all attention. I got so nervous that I couldn't even keep my eyes open. When it was my turn to be introduced to the audience and sing, I became even more nervous, I felt my legs were shaking and my memory seemed to have left me-- I couldn't remember anything. Searching for help, I met my mother's eyes which were sparkling with encouragement and strong power. It seemed that they were speaking to me," Take it easy. You can do it! I'll always be with you !"I read the message in her eyes and at that moment I got my confidence back and began to sing my song. When I came down from the stage, she came up to me, saying, "Great! I'm proud of you!" And gave me a big hug. At that moment, I saw her eyes filled with tears of joy .Sometimes, you see, just a look of encouragement from a loved one can make a shy person brave.29.What's author's purpose of telling us about her unforgettable experience?A. To prove that we can express ourselves through our eyes.B. To explain that our eyes are an important part of our bodies.C. To share her unforgettable experience with us.D. To tell us how she became brave.30. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The author wasn't interested in the singing competition at all.B. The author was nervous because she couldn't see her mother.C. The author didn't do well in the singing competition.D. The author got confidence from her mother's eyes.31. What does the underlined word "reveal" in the first paragraph mean?A. give upB. give awayC. go outD. go away32. What did the mother think of the author's performance?A. Unbelievable.B. Unusual.C. Successful.D. Special.阅读短文，还原句子Have you had a headache during a test? Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? If so, then you know what stress is. 1 .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. 2 . Good stress might happen when you’re called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech. 3 .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 sick, 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. 4 .The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. 5 .If you get enough sleep and eat properly, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you’ll probably feel less stressed.A. And it can actually make you sickB. Some kinds of stress are good and others are badC. This kind of stress can help you to get things better doneD. Stress is what you feel when you are worried about somethingE. Make sure you keep yourself in mind: Sleep, Exercise, and Food阅读短文回答问题Most of us use alarm clocks to wake up at the right time for school or work. We look at our watches to know the right time for the bus or train. However, there is also a right time to eat, sleep, exercise, and take medicine, too. We can’t look at a clock for the r ight time for these activities. We must listen to the clock inside our bodies: the biological clock(生物钟)Barbara Wells exercised every morning. She woke up at 6:00 am. She ran about two miles before she went to work. But Barbara’s legs and back(后背) started to hurt. She did some exercises before she ran. But her legs and back still hurt. She ran slower, but the pain didn’t stop. Barbara talked to her doctor. The doctor said,“Don’t run in the morning. Try to exercise later in the day. That is the time when your body is at the right temperature for exercises after work.” Her legs and back don’t hurt anymore.Today, doctors are learning more about chronobiology (时间生物学)，the study of biologyclocks. They are learning about the importance of time for our bodies. For example, it is best for people to go to sleep at the same time every night and to eat only when they’re hungry. Also, doctors discovered that some illness, such as heart attacks(心脏病）, occur(发生)most often in the morning. This information tells them that the best time to take heart medication may be at night. When patients take heart medicine at night, they may prevent a heart attack in the morning.Many doctors believe chronobilogy can help us live healthier lives. It may be the right time to listen to these doctors!1. Do we all have a biological clock inside our bodies?____________________________________________________ .2.
