Many experts（专家）useitto tell people it's important to have a good eating habit. For example, too much sweet food makes a person overweight. To avoid being fat, kids are told to keep off sweet food. However, a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food."When we say some people 'sweet', we mean they are kind and friendly to us. Perhaps this word can help us learn more about people's feelings and acts." said Brian Meier, a scientist from the study team. "Taste is something we experience every day. What we have done is to find whether we can know someone's character and behavior depending on their taste."In one of their experiments, college students were asked questions about their character- whether, for example, they were soft-hearted or not. Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food. According to their answers, the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.In their another experiment, the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need, and those who ate non-sweet food such as chips weren't. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city, visit sick children in the hospital and so on. The result of the experiments is that people's helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food. So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful. Next time, try some ice-cream.1．The underlined word "it" in the sentence "Many experts use it to tell people it's important to have a good eating habit." refers to______.A．the sweet food B．the English sayingC．the American team D．the eating habit2．According to the result of the experiments, sweet food makes people______.A．overweight B．excited C．relaxed D．friendly3．The scientists found that the people who preferred______ were less helpful.A．chips B．chocolate C．ice-cream D．cookies4．It can be learnt from the passage that______.A．scientists asked college students questions about their futureB．scientists told college students not to eat sweet foodC．people with a sweet tooth are more willing to help othersD．people's character has nothing to do with their tasteB14、What happens to a teenage kid when the world he thought he knew suddenly changes? Find out in Little Brother by American author Cory Doctorow. It is a fascinating book for a new generation of science fiction readers.Marcus Yallow, 17, from San Francisco is much more comfortable in front of a computer than obeying the rules of society. Smart, fast and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting his high school's monitoring(监控) system. This way he and his friends get to head off to play a popular online game in real life.While they are playing, a bomb explodes on the Bay Bridge. Marcus stops a military vehicle to get help for his injured friend, but this simple act throws him into a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secret prison. There he is treated as a possible terrorist. He is eventually let go after four days, but his injured friend disappears.When he returns, Marcus discovers that there are many “security measures” in place and that now all citizens are treated like potential terrorists. While some consider this government action necessary for public safety, Marcus sees this as a complete destruction of the rights he is supposed to have as a citizen.He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him with only one thing to do: to take down the DHS (数字处理系统) himself. He helps organize a large network called Xnet to spread the truth, anonymously (匿名地)．The book presents a young man who is irresponsible, but learns about himself, and grows, in the course of the story. As part of this learning and growing he becomes aware of very serious issues about his society.1．What kind of article does this passage belong to?A．A fascinating story B．A news report C．A book review D．A TV programme2．The underlined word “outwitting” in the second paragraph means ________.A．destroying in a wise way B．buying in a wise wayC．cheating in a wise way D．helping in a wise way3．Marcus Yallow was sent to prison because ________.A．he killed his friend B．he bombed a military vehicleC．his injured friend disappeared D．he did something that a possible terrorist could do4．From the second paragraph we can infer that ________.A．Marcus Yallow is expert at the network worldB．Marcus Y allow is smart, fast and wise in real lifeC．Marcus Yallow always plays online games in real lifeD．Marcus Yallow is much more comfortable obeying the rules of societyC15、I have a rule for travel: never carry a map. I prefer to ask for directions.Foreign visitors are often puzzled (迷惑的) in Japan because most s treets there don’t have names. In Japan, people uselandmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go pass a fruit market. The post offic e is across from the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American Midwest, usually there are not many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat (平坦的). In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. In Kansas or lowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map: the measure (测量) distance by means of time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” you say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because visitors seldom understand the Greek language. Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. Wh at happen in this situation? A New Yorker might say, “sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answer, “I don’t know.” They think that it is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A visitor can get lost in Yucatan.One thin g will help you everywhere. You might not understand a person’s words, by maybe you can understand his body language. He or she will usually turn and then point in the correct direction.1．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．we needn’t carry a map f or travel.B．There are not many landmarks in the American Midwest.C．There are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world.D．Americans and Japanese have different body languages when you ask for directions.2．What does the underlined word “landmarks” mean？A．Building namesB．Street namesC．HotelsD．Buildings or places which are easily seen3．How many ways of giving directions in the passage?A．Four B．Five C．Six D．seven4．Why does a traveler get lost in Yucatan?A．People in Yu catan don’t know what the traveler said, so they give a wrong answer.B．People in Yucatan think that “I don’t know” is impolite, so they give a wrong answer.C．People in Yucatan like making a joke, so they usually give a wrong answer.D．People in Yucatan are bad men, so they usually give a wrong answer.5．Which of the following is WRONG?A．People in some places give directions in miles but people in other places give directions by means of time. B．Travelers can learn about people’s customs by asking questio ns for directions.C．People in different places give directions in different ways.D．A person’s body language can help you understand directions.D16、Chris GardnerNet Worth (净身家): Over US $60 millionHe is the owner of a stock (股票) business in Chicago.

Jenny and I got along with a few fights here and there.Then a few years ago, Jenny and I were in a car accident. She was okay, but I had a large scar (伤疤) on my face. I was very sad. Jenny told me I shouldn’t worry about the scar.One day we were riding home from school on the bus. A boy named Jordan made fun of me about my scar. This went on for about a month. Finally I broke down and told Jenny about him. She was angry.When Jordan made fun of me the next time, Jenny stood up, walked to where he was sitting and said something into his ear. I didn’t know exactly what she s aid, but Jordan never said a single word to me again.So, even though getting all of the hand-me-downs might not be the best, I was very happy to have a big sister like Jenny.

Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to old people. When passengers using________, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help passengers and to keep traffic moving at the same time. The government of Nanjing has spent much money in building these bridges. For their own safety, passengers should be encouraged to use. They can’t risk their lives by running across the road. Old people may think that it is a little difficult to climb up and down the steps, but it is much safer than walking across the road with all the dangerous of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Passengers, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.1．What is the advantage(优点) of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?A．Taller trucks can pass under them.B．Passengers can climb up and have a good view of the city.C．They are safer for the passengers and keep traffic moving at the same time.D．They are easier and more convenient for the passengers.2．Why were overhead bridges built in Nanjing?A．Because they stop traffic from being held up.B．Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C．Because they save money for the government.D．Because they save time for the passengers.3．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A．Overhead bridges are found in every part of Nanjing.B．Overhead bridges are found in the centre of Nanjing.C．Overhead bridges are found in many parts of big cities in China.D．Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.4．The underlined words “ a zebra crossing” probably mean _______.A．a safe place across road for passengers to walk across the roadB．a wild animal from Africa that looks like a horse with black and white colour on its bodyC．a safe place across a road for zebras to walk across the roadD．a safe place across a road for children to play a game.5．What’s the writer’s attitude(态度)towards overhead bridges?A．It is inconvenient for old people to walk across the road.B．It is much safer for the passengers though climbing up and down the steps may be a little difficultC．An overhead bridge is more beautiful than a zebra crossing.D．To build overhead bridges is the business of the government.B14、A study of sleep in sparrows suggests the relationship between sleep and the ability to learn may be more complicated (复杂) than realized．Niels C．Rattenborg of the University of Wisconsin—Madison wanted to find out how the sparrows were able to deal with getting so much less sleep．He and his team brought eight wild birds into a lab and watched them for one year．They invented a game to check how well the birds could learn．In the game, the sparrows had to peck (啄) three buttons (按钮) in a certain order to get a food treat．The scientists discovered that the birds' ability to learn the right button order depended on (依靠) two things, the time of year and theamount of sleep the birds had had．During the migration (迁徙) season, the sparrows were restless at night and got much less sleep than usual．Even so, they were able to understand how to get the food quickly as if they'd had a regular night of sleep．Outside the migration season, they found the sparrows that got less sleep than usual had much more difficulty learning how to get the food treats than birds that had a regular sleep．The results show that the sparrows can deal with much less sleep during the migration season than usual．If scientists can find out why, they may learn from sparrows and find ways of helping people deal with getting much less sleep．Until scientists fully understand the relationship between sleep and learning, it's better to get plenty of sleep when preparing for an exam．1．Why can sparrows deal with much less sleep during the migration season?A．They eat more．B．The climate is better．C．They find enough food．D．Scientists still don't know it．2．What can we infer from the passage?A．When tired, you should try to focus (聚焦) on your study．B．Y ou should get enough sleep before an exam．C．Y ou should migrate like sparrows．D．Y ou should sleep less at night．3．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Sleep lessons from sparrowsB．How to get good exam resultsC．How sparrows get a food treatD．Sparrows' migrationC15、While Westerners were getting used to paying with credit cards（信用卡）or bank cards at the very beginning of the 21st century, most Chinese people still liked to pay in cash (paper money) out of habit. However, today, Chinese people may be leading the world in mobile payment, mainly WeChat Pay and Alipay.Foreigners feel amazed when Chinese people buy everything with their phones. At least, this was the case for Lim Swee Say, Manpower Minister of Singapore.When Lim was waiting in line to buy some snacks at a street stall(货摊）in Shanghai, he saw other customers show their phones and take the food without giving over any cash. Soon after, he realized that the customers were using mobile payment. "Singapore is actually backward（落后）" , said LimThe popularity of mobile payment in China has pushed many foreign countries and agencies to accept them. And several reasons might make this mobile payment spread in the whole world.● Quite a few Western mobile payment services require businessmen to install（安装）expensivemachines before customers can use them. While using Chinese mobile payment, all it takes is a QR code（二维码）and a smart phone.● Nowadays, almost everyone has a smart phone, even teenagers. And the mobile payment has helped people save the trouble of taking wallets with them. It's not only safer, more convenient, but also environmentally friendly.● Most shops in China, from a tiny shop in villages to a huge shopping center in big cities, all offer the service of mobile payment. And by the end of last year, Hangzhou Public Transportation System installed the mobile payment machine on 8,000 downtown buses.● With Chinese travelers throughout the world, it's now common to see the familiar green or blue QR codes in tourist sights around the world.1．What can we learn from the first paragraph?A．The Chinese people still like to pay in cash today.B．Most Western people feel like the mobile payment.C．Chinese people used the credit card at the beginning of the 21 at century.D．Both WeChat Pay and Alipay are the most popular payments in China.2．How do the foreigners feel when they see so many Chinese pay with phones?A．Interested. B．amazed. C．Delighted. D．Worried.3．What does Lim mean by saying "Singapore is actually backward."?A．In Singapore fewer people like to pay in cash.B．People in Singapore don't know how to pay with phones.C．It is not so popular for people in Singapore to pay with phones.D．There are fewer people in Singapore who like the web payment.4．What does the underlined word "popularity" mean?A．普及B．便捷C．入口D．喜好5．Why does the writer write this passage?A．To remind people to pay with credit cards.B．To introduce WeChat Pay & Alipay.C．To tell us the fact that the mobile payment may spread in the world.D．To persuade（说服）more people to use mobile payment.D16、Americans with small families own a small car or a large one. If both parents are working, they usually have two cars. When the family is large, one of the cars is sold and they will buy a van(住房汽车).A small car can hold(容纳)four persons and a large car can hold six persons but it is very crowded(拥挤).

Some exposure (暴露) to those waves can do a body good. For example, ultraviolet B (UV-B) rays tell human skin to make vitamin D．Too much exposure can be harmful, though. Overexposure to UV rays can cause DNA problems, opening the door for skin cancer. Too much sun can also cause painful sunburns.There are three different types of UV energy waves. They are UV-A, UV-B and UV-C rays. Each type moves at a different wavelength, with UV-A’s being the longest. Rays of UV-C are considered especially harmful to human beings. Fortunately, we have the ozone (臭氧) layer of the Earth’s atmosphere. It blocks out nearly all of the UV-C rays and most of the UV-B ones.The moon doesn’t have much of an atmosphere, though. Back on the moon, things are more dang erous. Over the years, astronauts have planted six American flags on the moon. Some scientists think that powerful UV rays could have bleached all the colorful flags white by now. For this reason, the moon is a dangerous place to visit without protection. You might think that astronauts who visit the moon would come home with terrible sunburns. That didn’t happen to Armstrong and his company. Neil Armstrong was a U.S. astronaut and the first person to walk on the moon. These astronauts all wore special spacesuits on their missions. Spacesuits were made with heavy fabrics that block out UV rays.When Armstrong set foot on the lunar surface, he was wearing a see-through helmet (头盔) with sun shades that were made of ultraviolet-stabilized polycarbonate. It is a very tough plastic that protects astronauts’ faces from UV rays. A weaker material could put the space travelers at risk for “snow blindness” and other problems. Conditions like these arise when UV rays damage parts of the human eyes.Sunscreen (防晒霜) defe nds us from the UV rays that do pass through the ozone layer. However, there’s really no need for an astronaut to put on sunscreen. The risk of sunburn goes way down when astronauts are inside a spaceship. Inside the International Space Station (ISS), for example, there is no need for special suits. Astronauts regularly do their work in nothing but common cotton shirts and pants. To protect them from sunburns, the ISS uses UV-blocking windows. So do most space exploration ships.1．From Paragraph 1, we can know ________A．UV-B is harmful to our body B．vitamin D is good for our bodyC．UV rays cause DNA problems D．skin cancer is caused by the sun2．The underlined word “bleach” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “_________”.A．漂白B．伤害C．刺穿D．吹拂3．Armstrong didn’t get bad sunburns mainly because _________.A．there was no UV-C ray on the moonB．the moon had an ozone layer like the earthC．he wore a special spacesuit and helmetD．he put on enough special sunscreen4．According to the last paragraph, we can learn _________A．sunscreen plays a great role in protecting astronauts in spaceB．astronauts have to do their work in special suits in the ISSC．UV-blocking windows are regularly used on spaceshipsD．the risk of sunburns increases when astronauts are in space5．Wha t’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?A．To show how astronauts are protected from UV rays.B．To introduce the first human who walked on the moon.C．To describe the new technology used in space.D．To show how we protect ourselves from sunburns.B14、Is there a difference in meaning between "It's too late to telephone. Mary is asleep now." and "It's too late to telephone. Mary will be asleep now."？Yes. The difference is in the reason given for it being too late to telephone. In the first sentence "Mary is asleep now", the speaker is stating（陈述）a fact. In the second sentence "Mary will be asleep now", the speaker is saying what Mary usually does. In fact, it's possible that Mary isn't asleep, but she is usually asleep at this time.So let's take two situations. In the first case, imagine Mary's mother answers the telephone.You: "May I speak to Mary, please?"Mother: "No. It's too late. Mary is asleep now."You: "Are you sure? It's only 10 0'clock."Mother: "Yes. I went to her room and she was asleep."The mother knows that Mary is asleep because she went into her room and saw her.Here is another case. Two friends decide to telephone Mary.Jack: "Let's telephone Mary. It's 10 0'clock."Jill: "No. It's too late. She will be asleep now."Jill knows that Mary always goes to bed before 10 o'clock, so now she'll probably be asleep. But it is also possible that she is staying up late.1．（小题1）In the first situation. Mary's mother _______.A．is afraid to wake up MaryB．wants to tell you that she knows Mary is asleepC．knows that Mary wants to sleep at this timeD．wants to know if she can take a message for Mary2．（小题2）In the second situation, Jill _______.A．knows that Mary has gone to bedB．doesn't know whether Mary is asleepC．is sure that Mary cannot answer the telephoneD．thinks it's possible that Mary cannot answer the telephone3．（小题3）In which situation do you think the word "will" is used in the same way Jill uses it?A．Will you please lend me a hand?B．It's too heavy, I think. I'll help you.C．Don't get into his office. He will be angry now.D．Y ou won't have to come to my office. I will send it to you.C15、This year 2, 300 teenagers from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions (印象) of the real American teenagers. American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and have a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In return, George's son, Mike, spent a year in Fred's home in America.Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months' study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected -much harder. Students rose respectfully (尊敬地) when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.Family life, too, was different. The family's word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car."Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it."At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. "I suppose I should criticize(批评)American schools." He says. "It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two."1．The whole exchange program is mainly to______.A．help teenagers in other countries know the real AmericaB．send students in America to travel in GermanyC．let students learn something about other countriesD．have teenagers learn new languages2．What did Fred and Mike agree on?A．American food tasted better than German food.B．German schools were harder than American schools.C．Americans and Germans were both friendly.D．There were more cars on the streets in America.3．What is particular in American schools?A．There is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings.B．There are a lot of after-school activities.C．Students usually take 14 subjects in all.D．Students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car.4．What did Mike think after experiencing the American school life?A．A better education should include something good from both America and Germany.B．German schools trained students to be better citizens.C．American schools were not as good as German schools.D．The easy life in the American school was more helpful to students.D16、I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. "But the desk," she'd saidagain, "is for Elizabeth." I never saw her anger, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was too "emotional (另动感情的) ". But she lived "on the surface".As years passed I had my own family, I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive (原谅) me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came. My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest, finally, peace---it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told me, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work.I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside-a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded (折叠) and refolded many times.

Your clothing communicates to the world what you want the world to think of you. For example, when you go on a job interview, you might choose clothes that make you seem sincere. When you go to a party, you might choose clothes that make you look exciting.___1 In Scotland and parts of the countries of East and Southeast Asia, men as well as women wore skirts. In Turkey and China and among the Inuit, both men and women wore trousers. But in ancient Greece, men who woretrousers were thought to be savages（野蛮人）.In the United States today, both men and women wear pants._____2 Over the centuries, anthropologists（人类学家）have learned that the clothing people wore was connected to the position they held in society. In most societies, important people put on special clothing to show their power. In the 18th, kings and queens wore special clothing, often specially made and difficult to keep clean. Since poor people could not afford to wear this kind of clothing, it became a symbol of wealth._____3 Today some people still wear clothing that represents their position in life. Sometimes clothing clearly shows the organization that a person works for. Postal workers, airline attendants, and some factory workers wear uniforms. Others wear expensive clothes that show their social position as wealthy people.4 Now many teenagers and adults buy clothes from a certain designer or company. They may like the good name of the designer or the company and want to share that name. But one basic reason for choosing clothes is the same as it has always been. People choose their clothes to tell others who they are and what they like.1．The sentence "In different civilizations（文明）at different times, different kinds of clothes have been acceptable（可接受的）. "can be put in Blank ________________.A．1 B．2 C．3 D．42．Why do some people buy clothes from a certain designer?A．They like the designer's good name.B．They work for the designer's company.C．They want more people to know the designer.D．They think it makes it easier to choose clothes.3．In the sentence "But one basic reason for choosing clothes is the same as it has always been." "one basic reason" probably refers to（指的是）_________________.A．their work B．their wealth C．their appearance D．their position4．According to the article, you may believe that __________________.A．people might not look attractive in new clothesB．each new period brings some changes in clothingC．clothes from good designers or companies sell wellD．people who belong to organizations must wear uniformsF18、Look around and you’ll see people busy on their smartphones. Smartphon es do make our lives easier. But have you ever thought about what they mean to your eyes?According to a study, half of British people own smartphones and they spend an average(平均) of two hours a day usingthem. There has been a 35% increase in the number of people in the UK who suffer from shortsightedness(近视) since smartphones were introduced there in 1997.Staring(盯) at smartphones for long time gives you dry eyes. When looking at something in the distance, your eyes automatically blink(自动眨眼) a certain number of times. However, when you look at things closer to your face, the blinking slows down. This reduces the amount of tears and causes discomfort in your eyes.Another bad habit is using smartphones in dark rooms before going to sleep. If you look at a bright screen while your pupils(瞳孔) become larger, too much light enters your eyes. This can do harm to the eyes and cause a disease called glaucoma(青光眼).While you’re probably not going to stop using to your smartphone, there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes.Hold your phone at least 30 centimetres away from your eyes when using it.Take a break every hour and try the following: look at something at least five meters from you and then focus on the tip of your nose.Repeat this several times. It should reduce the discomfort in your eyes.1．The last sentence in Paragraph 2 probably means .A．The number of shortsighted people makes up 35% of the population in the UKB．The number of smartphone users has increased since 1997C．Shortsightedness is common among people around the worldD．More British people have got shortsightedness since 19972．Using smartphones in dark rooms may lead to .A．A．Dry eyes B．The danger of glaucomaC．Sleeping problems D．A drop in the amount of tears3．We can infer from the passage that .A．The blinking of eyes is a kind of self-protectionB．Smartphones have become a necessary item nowadaysC．People should spend an hour a day on smartphonesD．Users couldn’t fall asleep without smartphones4．According to the auther, smartphone users should .A．Blink their eyes more times to avoid glaucomaB．Look at something at least 30 centimeters from youC．Avoid always staring at the screens without a breakD．Do some exercise every day to kill the discomfort5．The article is mainly about .A．The rules to make full use of smartphonesB．The harm that smartphones do to users’ eyesC．The reason why teenagers get shortsightednessD．The popularity of smartphones among the BritishⅤ.书面表达19、近来，许多学校正在进行平安校园建设，我校也不例外。

When Simon and his wife were busily 2 up their new home, the light suddenly went out. They had to stop work. Simon was regretful to have forgotten to bring along candles and had to wait 3 in a low mood. Just then he heard slight, hesitant 4 on his door that sounded clear in the 5 night.“Who’s it?” he wondered, since Simon was a newcomer to this city.

You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behaviour，but when you're asleep，your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night，of course，people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.If you go to sleep on your back，you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don't like to upset people，so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.If you sleep on your stomach，you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you're always easily upset. Y ou're very stubborn，but you aren't very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.If you sleep curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you're often defensive. You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You're easily hurt.If you sleep on your side，you have usually got a well－balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious，but you don't often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.1．（小题1）You may find the passage in ________.A．a science magazine B．a guide bookC．a sports newspaper D．a story book2．（小题2）Which is NOT mentioned in the second paragraph about a person's personality?A．He or she is always open with others.B．He or she always likes new ideas earlier than others.C．He or she is always easily upset.D．He or she tends to believe in others.3．（小题3）Which of the following shows the personality of a person sleeping on his stomach?A．He or she is careful not to hurt others.B．He or she doesn't want to stick to his or her opinion.C．He or she can't be successful in any business.D．He or she likes to bring others happiness.4．（小题4）Why don't you possibly want to make friends with a person who sleeps curled up?A．He or she would rather be alone than communicate with you.B．He or she is rarely ready to help you.C．He or she prefers staying at home to going out.D．He or she wouldn't like to get help from you.5．（小题5）It appears that the writer tends to think highly of the person who sleeps on one side because ________. A．he or she always shows sympathy for peopleB．he or she is confident，but not stubbornC．he or she has more strengths than weaknessesD．he or she often considers annoying peopleC15、Flowers are the best symbol of spring. The peach blossom (桃花) is one of those seasonal flowers. It usually blooms (开花) in March and April. You can enjoy the beautiful peach blossoms in almost any place of China, east or west, south or north. But if you want to find something special, you may go to Nyingchi in Tibet. There you can see a sea of pink at the foot of snow-covered mountains under a blue sky.The peach blossom, with its beauty, has won the hearts of visitors as well as many Chinese poets and writers. From China’s first book of poetry, the Classic of Poetry, to the many poems of the Tang Dynasty, the peach blossom is usually connected to beautiful young ladies. As one famous p oem goes, “In this house on this day last year a pink face vied; In beauty with the pink peach blossom side by side.” The peach blossom makes people think of the flush on a shy woman’s face.Because of this, the peach blossom is always connected to romance in China. Chinese people often say “to have peach blossom luck”. It means being lucky in love. And if your eyes are in the shape of peach petals(花瓣), you have a pair of “peach blossom eyes”. And you probably have peach blossom luck.1．What is the peach blossom connected to, according to old Chinese poems?A．Happy little kids. B．Handsome young men.C．Pretty young ladies. D．Smart old people.2．The underlined word flush in Paragraph 2 may mean ____________.A．胎记B．微笑C．红晕D．害怕3．Chinese people believe if someone has a pair of “peach blossom eyes”, he/she may ________.A．have a good health.

D．Poems of peach blossoms.D16、World Sleep Day is on March 21st. Last year’s theme was “Healthy sleep, away from the slow disease”. Its aim is to celebrate the benefits (好处) of good and healthy sleep.Sleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. According to the National Sleep Foundation in the US, adults need seven to nine hours of sleep every night. For students aged 10 to 17, a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours per night.But many students don’t get enough sleep because of early school start times and heavy homework. About 80 percent of middle school students don’t get enough sleep, the China Y outh and Children Research Center reported. For so me students, they want to sleep early, but they keep worrying about their schoolwork and can’t fall asleep quickly. For others, they may even have insomnia which might keep them awake all night.These sleeping problems greatly affect people’s lives. Experts have shown that lack of sleep for teenagers leads to poor grades. Students without enough sleep cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports. Also, lack of sleep may make them depressed.Luckily, with good sleep habits, it is easier to fall asleep. Some of these good habits include avoiding drinks that make people excited late in the day, going to sleep at the same time each night, and sleeping in a comfortable place that is dark, quiet, and neither too warm nor too cold.1．If Li Hong is 15 years old, how much sleep does she need every night?A．10-12 hours. B．8-9 hoursC．7 hours. D．Less than 7 hours.2．What might happen if teens don’t get enough sleep?A．They might do well in sports.B．Their bodies and brains might grow better.C．They might feel depressed.D．They might not be able to finish their schoolwork.3．Which is NOT a reason why so many students don’t get enough sleep?A．They cannot pay attention in class.B．They have too much homework to do.C．They have sleeping problems.D．They have to get up very early to go to school.4．Which of the following are good sleeping habits?a. Sleeping in a bright place.b. Going to bed at the same time.c. Sleeping in a dark and quiet place.d. Drinking something that makes you excited.A．a-b B．a-c C．b-c D．b-d5．The underlined word “insomnia” means “_______” in Chinese.A．健忘症B．肥胖症C．多动症D．失眠症E17、In a book called Magnificent Obsession, by Lloyd C．Douglas, a description is given of people helping others but doing it secretly. When difficult problems worried a person, friends nearby would meet to discuss possible solution without the person knowing their actions. When a solution was agreed upon, one or two of the friends would carry out the plan and solve the problem secretly, to the great delight of the worried person. The helpers would stand by privately, content with their success. No reward was given to the problem solvers, not even a sincere “thank you”, because they were never known.This idea is popular today but in a different way. The phrase________is now used when one person helps another. However, the person helped may not be able to repay the person or group that helped them. So rather than return the favor to their helpers, they are supposed to help someone else in the future, which means they pay it forward. It is a sense of responsibility(责任) which makes us want to give back in equal measure to the one who has helped us. But, in this case, the responsibility turns to helping someone in the future.Suppose your elderly grandmother pays part of your schooling. She may tell you there is no need to repay her because it is a gift from someone who loves you very much. Nothing would please her more than to have you use her money to get a good education.You may never be able to repay her for such a gift. However, she not only gave you some money, but she provided you with an example that you should also help other people who need it.People with serious needs are everywhere. Many are children who need better clothes, more books and even better schools. Some are elderly people who can’t afford their medicine or a doctor’s care. Consider how you can “pay it forward” rather than pay money back to your grandmother.1．The helpers in t he book “Magnificent Obsession” were not rewarded because ______________.A．they hadn’t solved the problems thoroughlyB．they had solved the problems secretlyC．they were friends of the worried individualD．they expected to be paid back in the future2．The underlined word “pay it forward” means ____________________.A．to repay someone who has helped youB．to pay someone else who needs helpC．to help someone who has helped youD．to help someone else who needs help3．What does the writer suggest with the exam ple of “your elderly grandmother”?A．We should learn to respect our grandparents.B．We should work hard to get a good education.C．We should also lend a hand to other people in need of help.D．We should never forget to repay people for their help.4．From the passage we know_________________.A．everybody needs helpB．more children need help than elderly peopleC．it costs a lot of money to “pay it forward”D．nowadays many people help others without being repaidF18、Starting from this month，you won’t be hearing the word “NBA” on sports programs on CCTV. Instead，sport hosts will give the full Chinese name when they refer to the NBA –National Basketball Association. You also won’t hear any other English abbreviations（缩写式）on CCTV’s Chinese programs，such as GDP (gross domestic product) or WTO (World Trade Organization). You will hear their Chinese translations.CCTV received a notice from the State Administration of Radio，Film and Television，telling it to avoid using English-language abbreviations in their re ports to protect the “purity” of the Chinese language. A few other TV stations also received the notice.Fu Zhenguo，an editor of People’s Daily，is one of the people who proposed（提议）the change. “Using English in a Chinese-speaking environment is against Chinese law，” he said. “Using English on Chinese TV programs is unfair to people who don’t understand English. It will have a bad language influence on kids and teenagers.”But some experts have a different opinion. Liu Yaoying，a professor at the Communications University of China，said the move shows cultural conservatism（保守主义）. “If Western countries can accept some Chinglish（中国式英语）words，why can’t the Chinese language be mixed with English?” Liu said.A lot of people have criticized the move，saying that it will cause problems for them.“I understand what CD，VCD and DVD mean when I hear them. But I won’t know what the TV programs are talking about if I hear those products’ full Chinese names，” a person wrote in a BBS post. Following the same post，another person wrote jokingly：“I’m not listening to my MP3 now. I’m listening to my Moving Picture Experts Group-1 Audio Layer 3.Some people also question why CCTV is keeping its logo，since it is also an English abbreviation.1．（小题1）We can’t hear the English a bbreviations from this month because___________.A．no one can say the abbreviationsB．the abbreviations are uselessC．Chinese translations are easier to be understood.D．the purity of Chinese should be protected2．（小题2）Which of the following is an abbreviation of an organization?A．DVD B．WTO C．GDP D．VCD3．（小题3）What is the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “criticized”?A．阻止B．赞同C．表扬D．批评4．（小题4）From the passage，we know that.A．Not all the people are satisfied with the move.B．All the people are pleased with the move.C．CCTV has given up its logo.D．The Chinese language can’t be mixed with English .5．（小题5）The seventh paragraph showsA．a bad language influe nce on kids and teenagersB．it is unfair for our Chinese to use English abbreviations.C．problems caused by not using the English abbreviationsD．cultural conservatismⅤ.书面表达19、书面表达(原创)今年春节，很多人加入了抢红包的游戏，但也有人表示担忧。

As a result, European automakers used to make different kinds of small cars while American automakers used to build bigger, heavier cars. However, these days, automakers in both America and Europe produce cars of different sizes. This is because most automakers sell their cars all over the world.The price of gasoline (汽油) is one reason for differences in car choices. Since gasoline is more expensive in Europe, many Europeans want smaller, lighter cars that will travel a long way on a gallon (加仑) of gasoline.Other reasons also enter into the big or little car decision. Many European cities have narrow, winding (弯曲的) streets. In these cities a small car is easier to control than a large one.For a long time, few Americans bought small cars. Instead they chose large cars, because these roomy cars were more comfortable for large families and long trips. Some people also liked the powerful engines (发动机) that large cars had. Since gasoline was cheap, drivers did not mind that the large cars used a lot of gasoline.But in the 1970s, there were gasoline shortages in the United States. The price of gasoline went up. Though large cars were still more popular than smaller cars, sales of small cars increased. Some people also bought small cars because these cars caused less air pollution than larger cars.Tod ay, Americans’ car choices are still changing. Though Americans are still buying many small cars, the fastest growing sales are for certain kinds of large cars. These types of cars are called minivans and sport utility vehicles (SUV).
