He tried to imagine how serious the drought(旱灾) was for the students at that school. However, he realized it was more serious than he had imagined when he saw the sign “DON’T wash clothes with water, or you will be punished.”Because of drought, the school has been short of water for a long time. Each student has only one bottle of water every day for washing and drinking. The drought has made the poor students much poorer.Mike is a student from Beijing Chaoyang Foreign Language School. He took part in the school’s Rain & Bow Project from April 2 to 10.The project idea came from Mike’s principal(负责人). One day, she heard a sad story about Li Guoxian, a poor girl in the Mashan School, who stopped going to school because of drought. The principal started this project to help the school. In one day, 3,000 students made over 10,000 donations of water, books and clothes.Mike and other four students went to the Mashan School and gave the donations with five teachers. They visited poor families, made surveys and had classes at the school.Mike also found the school’s learning environment quite poor. “The blackboards and playground are too shabby to use,”he said.“Besides, there really aren’t enough teachers. A teacher has to teach both history and English, and even the cook is a class teacher. ”Although life isn’t easy, students at the school have a positive attitude(积极的态度)towards life and they are quite willing to learn. That’s what moved 16-year-old Chen Shi most.“They sang their songs together as usual before class every afternoon. After class, the students asked us to tell them things about Beijing and our studies,” Chen Shi said, “You can see the passion(热情)in them. I believe it will make a difference. Th eir futures will be bright. ”36.Which school does Mike study in?A. the Mashan School.B. a school in Beijing.C. a school in Guizhou.D. a foreign school.37. The underlined word “shabby” means_________ in Chinese.A. 黑乎乎的B.光滑的C.破旧的D.不平整的38. Who started the school’s Rain & Bow Project?A. The principal of the foreign language school.B. Mike, a 16-year-old boy.C. Chen Shi, a student from Beijing.D. Li Guoxian, a poor girl in Guizhou.39. What can we infer from the passage?A. Students at the Mashan School could use water to wash clothes every day.B. Mike and his classmate were ready to accept the over 10,000 donations.C. It didn’t rain for a long time in Li Guoxian’s hometown.D. Li Guoxian stopped going to school because of her poor family.40.Why did Chen Shi think the children at the Mashan School would have a bright future?A. Because they learnt to save water.B. Because they had enough good teachers.C. Because they had support from Beijing.D. Because they were positive and willing to learn.CRobots come in many shapes and sizes. But most have one thing in common. They are built to help people. Lately engineers have been developing new kinds of robots. These high-tech machines are designed to lend a hand everywhere from hotels to disaster areas."Robots help people by making their lives easier, safer, and more fun," says engineer Omar.Since November, a robot named Pepper has been on the job at Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. When guests have questions or need directions, they can ask Pepper. They can also use the robot's touch screen to find the information they need. Pepper is able to talk with guests and make them happy with stories too. It can even tell what kind of mood they are in."Pepper provides our guests with information in an exciting and new way." says the hotel manager Donald Bowman.For a kid, being in the hospital can be boring and even scary. But a small robot called NAO is helping to make hospital stays easier. It was designed to keep people company.A Tennessee doctor named Phil Parker bought a NAO robot three years ago. He programmed(为……编制程序) it to talk to and play with young patients. He brought it to hospitals to help sick kids. When kids get medical tests, NAO explains what is going on. The robot also reads to kids and plays games with them like Rock, Scissors ,Cloth (石头剪刀布).“The robot gets many kids to smile for the first time since they were in hospital,” Parker says.Other robots are designed to help to save people in dangerous areas. For example, disaster areas can be full of broken stones and other dangers. Engineers in Japan are planning to build a robot called E2-DR to go into those areas and search for people who are hurt.41. A robot can do the following for us except ________according to the passage.A. telling its own moodB. reading to kidsC. entering the dangerous areas to save peopleD. Answering guests’ questions42.In Mandarin Oriental Hotel, guests can_________.A. feel happy with the stories about PepperB. know whether the robot is in good mood or notC. experience an exciting and new way to get the informationD. only get information simply by touching the robot's screen43.According to Phil Parker, the robot NAO in the hospital_________.A. is used to help doctors treat patientsB. brings much joy to many young patientsC. gives young patients some medical testsD. is not as useful as expected44.From the last paragraph(最后一个段落), we can learn that__________.A. robots will play a lively role in everything in our lifeB. E2-DR has proved to be very useful in rescue(营救) practiceC. human rescue workers will no longer be neededD. rescue work in dangerous areas will become easier45. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. Robots: The Future World MasterB. Robots: CleverestC. Robots: Human HelpersD. Robots: Our Best Friend第Ⅱ部分非选择题(共60分)四、阅读表达阅读下列短文,根据短文内容及字数要求回答问题(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)(每题答案不超过7个词)Wang Xiaohong is 7 years old. Her parents gave her an iPad as a presentfor her birthday.

This is serious forsuch a young girl.Many children in China are facing the same problem: tablet(平板电脑) and iPad using is bringing problems to their eyesight. The problem is so common that newspapers even call the iPad the “No. 1 killer of children’s eyesight”.“There are about 30 shortsighted(近视的) children coming every day,” said Hu Dali, an eye doctor at Guiyang Aier Eye Hospital. “Half of those children have poor eyesight because they have played with phones and iPads for too long.”Doctors and scientists say children’s eyesight is not yet fully developed and their eyes get tired more easily. The screen of an iPad uses a very bright LED backlight. If children look at an iPad screen too much, their eyes do not have time to rest. This will make their eyesight worse over time.Doctors advise that users should hold their iPads between 40-60 centimeters away from them. The brightness of the screen should be comfortable for children. Children had better use iPads for less than one hour every day.46. What serious problem did Wang Xiaohong have a month later?47.

By the time we were ready to leave, we had enough dandelions. On the way home, Mama and Granny talked about hosting a dinner party for the new neighbors.The night of the party, Brigid arrived with her parents. Mama served octopus with onions, peppers stuffed with lamb and rice, and horta made of dandelions. Our guests ate everything. Brigid tasted the octopus and the lamb.

Hawaii, the U.S., recently passed a law making it illegal to text or look down at mobile phones while crossing the street. It is the first major U.S. city with a law like this.Do you think more places should pass such a law? Here are some ideas.Sally, Seoul, South KoreaA.SeoulB.SydneyC.HawaiiD.Paris(1)mon. B.Dangerous. C.Strange. D.Unhealthy.(2)A.B.C.D.(3) We should make it illegal in more cities because texting whilewalking can be dangerous. If you are looking at your phone whilewalking, you might not see a car come or the traffic light turn red.Andrew, Sydney, Australia Ⅰdisagree because we have the right to make our owndecisions. The government needs to stop telling us what to do. Afterall, this is a free country. And police need a lot of time to catch realcriminals(犯人).Madeline, Paris, France This law is a good idea. If this law goes into effect in more cities,people will be upset. But is there really a way to please everyone?This would not be for fun. It would be for the benefit and safety of allthe people.Anjali, Tokyo, Japan People do many things that cause injury(伤害)to themselvesbut are not illegal. People might get hurt from texting while walkingif they're not paying attention. But I still think they should have achoice.recently passed a law making it illegal to text while crossing the street.What does Sally think of texting while walking?According to Madeline, .people might not see a car come while textingthe law would be for the benefit of all the peoplepeople have the right to make their own decisionspeople do many things that cause injury to themselves15."All right, everyone. listen up" said Rey. "I have something important to say."Rey had always had something important to say since the first day of primary school. "This is really a big project." said Rey. "Trust me. As long as I'm in charge, we'll have the most wonderful project ever!""It seems like Rey is always in charge." murmured(小声说)Jake.A.B.C.(1)It was true. Rey always seemed to be in charge ofeverything. He wanted everything to be as perfect as possible,and he just believed that he was the only person who couldmake that happen.This time, Rey decided to do a play about the Wright brothers and the first airplane flight. He announced that he would be the director, and he had also decided on the role that everyone would play. He would play the part of Orville Wright. He even had made the costumes, which Hannah would like to do.The next day, Rey announced he was going to play Wilbur Wright."How can you play both of the Wright brothers?"asked Hannah."I'll just put on different hats for each one." said Rey.The next afternoon, no one showed up at the rehearsal(排练)except Rey. An hour had passed, and he still hadn't heard from others.Finally, Rey called Stephen. "I quit the play." said Stephen. "In fact, we all quit. We're going to do something else."Rey spent the rest of the afternoon working on the play. Moving the set himself took too long, and running around to change costumes left him out of breath. Worst of all, half the airplane dragged on the ground as Rey pulled it across the stage. Rey felt upset and confused.He knew now that he couldn't do the play alone. He needed his friends' help if it was going to work at all.The next day at school. Rey had a talk with his friends. "I'm going to change. I promise I will listen to you. What do you want to do?"Hannah thought the play should be shorter and Jake wanted to make a new airplane that would be easier to handle. Stephen thought everyone should get a chance to play a real part like Wilbur Wright. Fern wanted to be able to act her part the way she wanted."You are probably right." Rey said. "Let's try it your way."Everyone smiled.What did Rey decide to do for the project?To change the classroom setting.To make an airplane for the children.To do a play about the Wright brothers.A.Proud.B.Angry.C.Upset.D.Cheerful.(2)A.they finished their projectB.everyone could play a partC.Rey always had great ideasD.they won the first prize(3)How did Rey feel when he did the play alone?Everyone smiled in the end because .16.Оn July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the firstperson to walk on the moon. The space suit Armstrongwore on his lunar mission has come to symbolize courageand human achievement. In 1971, the Smithsonian'sNational Air and Space Museum (NASM ), inWashington, D.C., acquired (获得) Armstrong's suit. It stood proudly on display for visitors to admire, until there were changes in the suit's appearance. "Over time, the suit started to show signs of deterioration ." Lisa Young said. Young is an objects conservator (文物修复员) at NASM. It is her job to preserve (维护) historical and cultural objects."Plastics are tricky to conserve, " Young says. They tend to degrade (降解) over time. Neoprene is one type of plastic in Armstrong's suit. The material can turn brittle and break into tiny pieces. This would ruin the space suit. NASM, seeking ways to preserve this historical treasure, removed it from display in 2006.What cause plastic to degrade in the first place? "Many things." Odile Madden says.Madden is a scientist in California. She explains that sunlight, water, humidity and dust can cause plastics to degrade. "Some plastics will break down no matter what we do."Madden says.Yet history can still be saved. Scientists have found that storing plastics in cooler temperatures, with lower humidity levels, can slow degradation. Young says Armstrong's suit is currently in storage at a temperature of 63 °F and a lower relative humidity 30%.These conditions will be maintained when Armstrong's suit returns to a museum display case in time for the 50anniversary of the moon landing.Plastic degradation affects art, too. Artist Claes Oldenburg created False Food Selection in 1966. It consists of plastic food displayed in a wonder box. The plastic food used to look real. Now, some of it has flattened and yellowed. Georgina Rayner is a conservation scientist at Harvard Art Museums, in Cambridge. She says the artwork's thA.B. C.D.(1)A.becoming worseB.losing attentionC.getting strongerD.being valuable(2)A.B.C.D.(3)degradation process. But Rayner is motivated to conserve this artwork and others like it."Plastics are a part of our history." she says. "It's important to preserve them so that future generations can understand the journey we've taken."Neil Armstrong's space suit .is in storage at a higher relative humidityis considered as a symbol of plastic artwas protected at Harvard Art Maseumswas removed from display in 2006The word "deterioration " in Paragraph 1 probably means " ".What can we infer from the passage?Plastic artworks help future generations learn more about history.We can do nothing to prevent plastic objects from breaking down.The acidir gas is a necessity in the preservation of plastic objects.People are advised to use fewer plastic objects in their daily life.17.During this age of technology, life moves fast and people onlyfocus on what comes next, rather than living in the present. Oftentheir daydreaming is centered on the "next" rather than the "now."Technology is all about what's next—the next innovation(创新), the next platform or the next device. This is most obviouswith the iPhone. The iPhone X has just released, but businessmen and customers are already thinking about the next, newest iPhone. I am already counting the days until l can upgrade my iPhone.Throughout my adolescence(青春期), almost every single one of my peers have been too wrapped up with the next "great" thing and put too much stress on themselves while losing sense of what is going on now or what they have achieved; it drives me totally crazy. Upon entering high school, I was excited to spend the next four years with my closest friends. Sadly, once I hit my sophomore year(高二), I began to worry about getting into a good college and what I needed to do for that to happen. By concentrating on what's next, I seem to be missing what's great about high school.A.B.C.D.(1)A.B.C.D.(2)A.B.C.D.(3)(4)Most students in high school look at education as a means to an end; something that will set them up for the next step. Due to this, they pay close attention to the teacher in class, not to enrich their knowledge, but to score high on the test, making them stronger candidates (候选人)for college. What is even more annoying is that universities are now forcing high school students to have a clear idea of what they want to do in life. Most colleges have specialized schools, such as business, nursing and education; in most cases, it is very difficult to switch out of or into one of the specialized schools. Therefore, high schoolers do actually have to focus on what's next.When I go to college. all I am thinking about is still what comes next; that is, how to land a great job out of. college. Everyone around seems to he like me. Actually, I truly hope that people who are in this very similar situation can figure out a way to make the "now" as important, if not more important, than the "next" in life. Taking all of this into consideration, the concept of what comes next is far too ingrained(根深蒂固的)into important things of life, such as technology and education.If people keep racing from one thing to the next, life will pass them by and in a hurry; no one will be able to look back on what they have experienced or achieved, because life will have become a blur(模糊).The writer mentions the iPhone in Paragraph 2 to show that .the newest iPhone is always the bestyoung customers like new technologythe iPhone X attracts the most attentiontechnology is all about what comes nextWhat can we learn from the passage?High schoolers are forced to have clear ideas about their future jobs.Few students pay close attention to the teacher to score high on tests.Thinking too much about the present gives students too much pressure.Different activities make the students stronger candidates for the college.The writer probably agrees that .students now care too much about unimportant things in lifefuture achievements depend on your plan in your high schoolcollege education usually makes a great difference to most of the peoplepeople should live in the "now" rather than only look ahead to the "next"Which of the following would he the best title for the passage?C.Past, Now and FutureD.Technology, a Key to Future四、任务型阅读(共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)18.(1)(2)(3)(4)Todd Bol is the founder of the non-profit Little FreeLibraries. Bol built the first little library in 2009 to honor hismom, who was a book lover and teacher. Bol wanted toshare his mother's love for reading with others. He decidedto build a wood box and fill it with books. He made it looklike a tiny red schoolhouse. He placed the box of books on apost in his front yard with a sign that read "Free Books". This was the beginning of the Little Free Library.Soon Bol's neighbors noticed this tiny model of a schoolhouse. They began taking the books and replacing them with books of their own. The tiny library was always open.A library card was not needed. The books could be read and returned whenever. It offered people an easy way to read. This library didn't just provide books. It also helped build friendships among community members. As more and more people visited Bol's little library, they began talking with one another. Everyone loved the little library. They shared thoughts, ideas and stories. They got to know one another. After all, as Bol said."It's a magic box with books."Bol's friends and neighbors wanted little libraries of their own. Bol built several and gave them away. One of his friends, Rick Brooks, noticed that the libraries encouraged people to read. He believed that Bol's little libraries could benefit more than just local friends and neighbors. With this in mind, Bol and Brookes came up with a plan to build more than 2, 500 Little Free Libraries around the world. To achieve this goal, they created a website. People can get information about the Little Free Libraries and how they can set up little libraries of their own.Thanks to Bol and Brooks. the Little Free Libraries are encouraging people to read more and to be friendlier. Today there are more than 75, 000 Little Free libraries around the world, and they can be found on almost every continent.When did Bol build the first library?Where did Bol put the box of books?What is the second paragraph mainly about?How did Bol and Brookes achieve their goal?(5)What are the Little Free Libraries encouraging people to do?五、书面表达(二选一)(共10分)19.假如你是李华,加拿大某校学生代表团将要来你校参观。

My parents didn’t take it seriouslyuntil they noticed me rubbing my right ear from time to time. Then theybrought me to the 31 , expecting him to give me some medicine.Instead, the doctor told them that I had a tumor (肿块) in my right ear. Iwas immediately performed an operation.After the operation, my ear produced a mixed liquid (液体) with blood and water.The mixture didn’t32 good and I needed to go to the doctor every six months to get my ear cleaned out. I also had to put a clean cotton ball into my ear each day to 33 being made fun of in school.On the first day of my third grade, I woke up late and almost missed the bus. What was worse, I forgot my cotton ball. At school, other kids noticed the smell, and all of them were making fun of me. Obviously, my third grade was 34 . I considered the following summer vacation my second chance to make new friends. At first, I 35 my brother’s friends closely in the neighborhood, but soon they told me to hang out with my own friends. I was so 36 that I ended up walking home and crying.

Mansor was sure that he would see his birthday present on the dining table. It had been like this for the past 15 years. Whatever happened, his parents would place the present next to his glass of milk on that day. He had given various hints (暗示) about what he really wanted, and even silently put a picture of the mobile phone into his mother’s handbag. It was impossible that she didn’t get the message.To his surprise, there was nothing on the table this time. The family gave morning wishes to each other as usual and talked as if there was nothing special about the day. His mother only reminded him to clear his writing table.Mansor quickly ran out of the house as he did not want his parents to see he was sad that they had forgotten his birthday! He would feel better if he joined his friends at the Old People’s Home. As he did not want to stay around the house any longer, he got into the first taxi he saw. He was still sad while he was in it.He got down from the taxi and realized how fine the weather was. The sun was shining brightly as if to give him joy. The chirping of the birds lightened his heart. He walked with a spring in his steps to Old People’s Home. As he looked around, he saw people laughing and enjoying themselves. These old people didn’t get much care or attention from their busy children, yet they were happy. Why should he be sad? A mobile phone was not quite a big deal after all.Then he decided to go home. After getting home, he startedto tidy his table, knowing that his mother expected him to do so.Wait! What’s this? An air ticket to Pulau Redang (热浪岛) for ascuba diving course! “The mobile phone is nice, but we prefer thatyou learn something rather than have the latest mobile phone. Hope you will like our pr esent.”With tears of excitement, Mansor realized that he should have known that his parents would never forget his birthday.45.What did Mansor do to get the present he wanted?A.He talked to his parents.B.He gave hints to his parents.C.He carefully cleaned his table.D.He paid a visit to his good friends.46.After seeing those old people, Mansor .A.felt their life was so boringB.realized he shouldn’t be sadC.wanted to offer help to themD.hoped to get another present47.The parents bought the ticket for Mansor because they .A.didn’t want to let him downB.didn’t like the mobile phoneC.expected him to learn somethingD.hoped he could respect their wishes48.What can we learn from the story?A.Mansor liked the birthday present.B.Mansor knew his parents very well.C.Mansor’s parents would buy a new gift.D.Mansor’s parents would say sorry to him.CUnkind Words Hurt the BrainThere is a popular saying in the English language: “Sticks andstones may break my bones (骨头), but words will never hurt me.”Well, that is not true. Words do hurt. Children may be laughed atfor being short and thin, or they may feel left out because theirclassmates say how strange they look with a hat on. What’s worse,unkind words cause more than emotional harm. They can hurt childrenas much as being hit on the body, sometimes even more so.A recent study of middle school children showed that verbal abuse (言语虐待) byother children can harm the development in the brain. The study was a project done by researchers atHarvard Medical School in Massachusetts.Researcher Martin Teicher and his team also studied young adults, aged 18 to 25. They were asked about their experiences of verbal abuse. Then researchers took brain tests on them. Results showed that those who reported experiencing verbal abuse from their classmates in middle school didn’t have balanced development between the left and the right side of the brain.The unusual thing about the human brain is that it still develops after birth. Babies can’t walk for months because their brains are not fully developed. Other things, such as self-respect, creativity and learning skills also develop differently in every person. This is because development of the human brain is guided by the experiences during childhood and teenage years.The middle school years are a very important period for children to develop their brain. Unkind words from classmates during this period have the greatest effect on brain development, because children at this age are very sensitive (敏感的) to all kinds of influences from outside.Besides, the researchers also tested the emotional condition of all the young people in the study. The tests showed that people who had brain damage (损害) also had higher levels of fear, anger and depression than others in the study.Remember, words do hurt. V erbal abuse hurts not only the mind, but also the brain.We may not control what others say to ourselves, but we can pay attention to what we say to others. Start making changes now!49.According to the passage, students are emotionally harmed when _.A.they break their bonesB. they are laughed atC. they wear strange hatsD. they are hit on the body50.The researchers’ findings showed that unkind words could .A.destroy children’s friendshipB.make children more sensitiveC.harm children’s brain developmentD.stop children from respecting others51.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A.Most babies’ brains are well-grown at birth.B.Human brains continue to develop after birth.C.Babies can’t walk because their brains are small.D.Human brains are likely to be hurt during childhood.52.What is the purpose of this passage?A.T o explain when words can hurt people’s feelings.B.T o introduce different ways to get along with others.C.T o criticize students who are unkind to their classmates.D.T o call on students to stop saying unkind words to others.DI’m the kind of person who has at least 10 windows open onmy at the same time as I hold a dialogue, listen to the radioand send texts. I think I can concentrate well on all these things,but to be honest, I probably can’t.The truth is that if you think you are good at multi- tasking, thechances are you’re not. People who multi-task a lot perform less well in tests than people who don’t do it so often. But there are some exceptions.Scientists researched what happened when people were at a driving simulator (模拟器) while chatting on a hands-free phone. Just to make it harder, as well as keeping a distance from the car in front, they had to memorize a list of words.Not surprisingly, people weren’t very good at it. The distractions slowed their reaction time and dented the quality of their driving. This is the case except for one person, who outperformed everyone else. Whatever the distraction, this individual just handled it well. There had been no mistake.Research has shown that our attention is limited. We are able to focus on a few different things at a time, but add in one extra distraction and we stop doing so well. Our cognitive (认知的) resources have to be shared between the different tasks. There’s plenty of proof that talking on a mobile phone causes drivers to fail to notice half of thethings going on in their environment, and unsurprisingly, increases accident rates. Yet a tiny percentage of people seem uninfluenced.So how do they do it? Is there something special about the brains of these supertaskers?When we practice a skill, the brain more efficient and shows less, rather than more activity. It would be a mistake to think that more brain activity always means better. Supertaskers can handle multiple tasks because their brains are born special. The more they have to do, the more efficient they Yet, so far, little is known about how this skill might influence them in everyday life.Can you learn to supertask? Probably not. You can certainly practice different tasks and improve your performance on each one, but that doesn’t mean you’ll get better at doing them all at the same time.53.The underlined word “dented” in Paragraph 4 probably means “”.A.gotB. lostC. addedD. worsened54.What can we learn from the article?A.Supertaskers might be easily found in our everyday life.B.Supertaskers’ brains can be different from ordinary people’s.C.We may increase our cognitive resources through difficult tasks.D.We will be able to do several things at the same time by practicing.55.What might be the best title for the article?A.Are you a supertasker?B.Why are we supertaskers?C.Can you tell a supertasker?D.How can we be supertaskers?七、阅读短文,根据短文内容,从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.每个选项只能用一次.(共10 分,每小题2分)What to Do When Your Technology Goes WrongTechnology sometimes goes wrong.

He has won several world-famous long-distance races, including the Australian MarathonChampionships in 2015 and the Liverpool Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon in 2015 and2016. But his biggest running adventure began on September 15, 2016.Inspired (受……启发) by the main character’s classic cross-country run in the movie Forrest Gump , Pope decided to run back and forthacross America. He said that he wanted to make adifference. He wanted to make people happy, whether it would brighten their day with a funny story about someone he might meet along the way, or through pushing himself. Besides, he wanted to raise money for two organizations that meant a lot to him: the World Wildlife Fund and Peace Direct. WWF is making efforts to double the number of wild tigers by 2022, while the other is trying to solve problems by education and empowerment of women worldwide.From the day he began his adventure, he was running wherever he was going. He started his journey from Alabama—his Gump-inspired starting point. When he got to California’s Santa Monica Pier, he decided to turn around. Then he continued on to the Marshall Point Lighthouse in Port Clyde, Maine. Fans of the film will remember that this is exactly where Gump turned around and started running back across the country. Pope plans to do the same. “I have some history in trying to do the best I can, just likeTom Hanks’ character in Forrest Gump. I’ve always liked running… but in recent years I have tried to find my limits.”Pope’s favorite scene in the movie is the one where Gump decides for no reason to go for a little run. He said that he had watched it probably 50 times, “It’s a fictional story of course, but the character had a difficult start in life and experienced many difficulties. Forrest, however, saw no barriers (障碍). He simply tried his best and accepted everyone he met. Isn’t that a wonderful concept?”61.When did Pope’s biggest running adventure begin?62.Where did Pope start his journey?63.Did Pope decide to turn around at California’s Santa Monica Pier?64.What is Pope’s favorite scene in the movie?65.Why did Pope decide to run back and forth across America?九、文段表达(15 分)书面表达(共15 分)66. 从下面两个题目中任选一题.,根据中文和英文提示,完成一篇不少于 50 词的文段写作.文中已给出内容不计入总词数.所给提示词语仅供选用.请不要写出你的校名和姓名.假如你是李华,你们学校将要举办“传统美食节”,你打算邀请交换生Peter 参加.请你用英语给他写一封邮件,告诉他活动的时间和地点,活动安排,以及他需要准备什么.提示词语:playground, make a dish, share, introduce, chopsticks (筷子)提示问题:●When and where are you going to have the festival?●What are you going to do?●What do you advise Peter to prepare?假如你是李华,现在某英文网站正在举行“海淀之星”(Star of Haidian) 评选活动,请你写一篇文章,推荐你心目中的最佳人选.请在文中介绍你推荐的人是谁,推荐理由,以及他(她)带给你的启迪.提示词语:(推荐), hard-working, honest, attitude, inspire提示问题:●Who do you ?●Why do you him/her?●What can you learn from him/her?There are many role models in my life.海淀区九年级第二学期期末练习英语参考答案听力理解一、听对话,选图.1.

C
Research has already suggested that opening a book may help improve brain function and reduce stress. Now, a team led by Joanna Sikora of the Australian National University is looking into the benefits of growing up around a book-filled environment; the researchers’ new study suggests that homes with libraries can arm children with skills that last well into adulthood.
So, what does the new study tell us? Take, for example, an adult who grew up with hardly any books in the home, but went on to get a university degree compared to an adult who grew up with a large home library, but only had nine years of schooling. The study found that both of their literacy levels were almost the same. “So, literacy-wise, bookish childhood makes up for a good deal of educational advantage,” the study authors write.

People in America pulled dandelions from their yards. What would the new neighbors think if they found out our family ate weeds (杂草)?We drove west until the houses stopped. Then we stopped. We walked through a large field. Hundreds of yellow flowers 17 over the soft earth. I looked for a place to hide."What's the matter with you, Athena?" Granny asked. "Nothing," I said. "But why do we eat dandelions? No one else does." "The best 18 in the world." Granny answered.It seemed to take hours to fill the bags. By the time we were ready to leave, we had enough dandelions. On the way home, Mama and Granny talked about hosting a dinner party for the new neighbors.The night of the party, Brigid arrived with her parents. Mama served octopus with onions, peppers stuffed with lamb and rice, and horta made of dandelions. Our guests ate everything. Brigid tasted the octopus and the lamb. Then she put her fork on the horta. "Wait!" I said. Too late. "You ate the dandelions!" I told her 19 . "Not bad," she said and ate another bite.

(共26分,每小题2分)AShould More Cities Make It Illegal (不合法)to Text While Crossing the Street? Hawaii, the U.S., recently passed a law making it illegal to text or look down at mobile phones while crossing the street. It is the first major U.S. city with a law like this. Do you think more places should pass such a law? Here are some ideas.Sally, Seoul, South KoreaWe should make it illegal in more cities because texting while walking can be dangerous. If you are looking at your phone while walking, you might not see a car come or the traffic lightturn red.Andrew, Sydney, AustraliaI disagree because we have the right to make our own decisions. The government needs tostop telling us what to do. After all, this is a free country. And police need a lot of time to catchreal criminals (犯人).Madeline, Paris, FranceThis law is a good idea. If this law goes into effect in more cities, people will be upset. But isthere really a way to please everyone? This would not be for fun. It would be for the benefit andsafety of all the people.Anjali, Tokyo, JapanPeople do many things that cause injury (伤害) to themselves but are not illegal. People might get hurt from texting while walking if they're not paying attention. But I still think theyshould have a choice.21. recently passed a law making it illegal to text while crossing the street.A. SeoulB. SydneyC. HawaiiD. Paris22. What does Sally think of texting while walking?A. CommonB. Dangerous.C. Strange.D. Unhealthy.23. According to Madeline, .A. people might not see a car come while textingB. the law would be for the benefit of all the peopleC. people have the right to make their own decisionsD. people do many things that cause injury to themselvesB"All right, everyone, listen up!" said Rey."I have something important to say."Rey had always had something important to say since the first day of primary school."This is really a big project," said Rey. "Trust me. As long as I'm in charge, we'll have themost wonderful project ever!""It seems like Rey is always in charge," murmured(小声说)Jake.It was true. Rey always seemed to he in charge of everything. He wanted everything to be as perfect as possible, and he just believed that he was the only person who could make that happen.This time, Rey decided to do a play about the Wright brothers and the first airplane flight. He announced that he would be the director, and he had also decided on the role that everyone would play. He would play the part of Orville Wright. He even had made the costumes, which Hannah would like to do.The next day, Rey announced he was going to play Wilbur Wright."How can you play both of the Wright brothers?" asked Hannah."I'll just put on different hats for each one," said Rey.The next afternoon, no one showed up at the rehearsal (排练) except Rey. An hour had passed, and he still hadn't heard from others.Finally, Rey called Stephen. "I quit the play," said Stephen. "In fact, we all quit. We're going to do something else."Rey spent the rest of the afternoon working on the play. Moving the set himself took too long, and running around to change costumes left him out of breath. Worst of all, half the airplane dragged on the ground as Rey pulled it across the stage. Rey felt upset and confused.He knew now that he couldn't do the play alone. He needed his friends' help if it was going to work at all.The next day at school, Rey had a talk with his friends, "I'm going to change. I promise I will listen to you. What do you want to do?"Hannah thought the play should he shorter and Jake wanted to make a new airplane that would be easier to handle. Stephen thought everyone should get a chance to play a real part like Wilbur Wright. Fern wanted to be able to act her part the way she wanted."You are probably right," Rey said. "Let's try it your way."Everyone smiled.24. What did Rey decide to do for the project?A. To change the classroom setting.B. To make an airplane for the children.C. To do a play about the Wright brothers.D. To make some hats for the classmates.25. How did Rey feel when he did the play alone?A. Proud.B. Angry.C. Upset. Cheerful26. Everyone smiled in the end because .A. they finished their projectB. everyone could play a partC. Rey always had great ideasD. they won the first prizeCOn July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon. The space suit Armstrong wore on his lunar mission has come to symbolize courage and human achievement.In 1971, the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum(NASM), in Washington, D.C.,acquired (获得) Armstrong's suit. It stood proudly on display for visitors to admire, until therewere changes in the suit's appearance. "Over time, the suit started to show signs of deterioration,"Lisa Young said. Young is an objects conservator (文物修复员) at NASM. It is her job to preserve(维护) historical and cultural objects."Plastics are tricky to conserve," Young says. They tend to degrade (降解) over time. Neoprene is one type of plastic in Armstrong's suit. The material can turn brittle and break into tiny pieces. This would ruin the space suit. NASM, seeking ways to preserve this historical treasure, removed it from display in 2006.What causes plastic to degrade in the first place? "Many things," Odile Madden says. Madden is a scientist in California. She explains that sunlight, water, humidity, and dust can cause plastics to degrade. "Some plastics will break down no matter what we do,," Madden says.Yet history can still be saved. Scientists have found that storing plastics in cooler temperatures, with lower humidity levels, can slow degradation. Young says Armstrong's suit is currently in storage at a temperature of 63°F and a lower relative humidity of 30%. These conditions will be maintained when Armstrong's suit returns to a museum display case in time for the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.Plastic degradation affects art, too. Artist Claes Oldenburg created False Food Selection in 1966. It consists of plastic food displayed in a wooden box. The plastic food used to look real. Now, some of it has flattened and yellowed. Georgina Rayner is a conservation scientist at Harvard Art Museums, in Cambridge. She says the artwork's wooden box produces an acidic (酸的) gas that eats away at the plastic. This speeds up the degradation process. But Rayner is motivated to conserve this artwork and others like it. "Plastics are a part of our history," she says. "It's important to preserve them so that future generations can understand the journey we've taken."27.

People are advised to use fewer plastic objects in their daily life.DDuring this age of technology, life moves fast and people only focus on what comes next, rather than living in the present. Often their daydreaming is centered on the "next" rather than the "now."Technology is all about what's next-the next innovation (创新), the next platform or the next device. This is most obvious with the iPhone. The iPhone X has just released, but businessmen and customers are already thinking about the next, newest iPhone. I am already counting the days until I can upgrade my iPhone.Throughout my adolescence (青春期), almost every single one of my peers have been too wrapped up with the next "great" thing and put too much stress on themselves while losing sense of what is going on now or what they have achieved; it drives me totally crazy. Upon entering high school, I was excited to spend the next four years with my closest friends. Sadly, once I hit my sophomore year (高二), I began to worry about getting into a good college and what I needed to do for that to happen. By concentrating on what's next, I seem to be missing what's great about high school.Most students in high school look at education as a means to an end; something that will set them up for the next step. Due to this, they pay close attention to the teacher in class, not to enrich their knowledge, but to score high on the test, making them stronger candidates (候选人) for college. What is even more annoying is that universities are now forcing high school students to have a clear idea of what they want to do in life. Most colleges have specialized schools, such asbusiness, nursing and education; in most cases, it is very difficult to switch out of or into one of the specialized schools. Therefore, high schoolers do actually have to focus on what's next.When I go to college, all I am thinking about is still what comes next; that is, how to land a great job out of college. Everyone around seems to be like me. Actually, I truly hope that people who are in this very similar situation can figure out a way to make the "now" as important, if not more important, than the "next" in life.Taking all of this into consideration, the concept of what comes next is far too ingrained (根深蒂固的) into important things of life, such as technology and education. If people keep racing from one thing to the next, life will pass them by and in a hurry; no one will be able to look back on what they have experienced or achieved, because life will have become a blur (模糊).30.
