It's not because fish are endangered, though wild fish stocks in many oceans are very low. It's not because they're bad for you, though fish in many areas are exposed to poisonous substances in the water. It’s because they're smart."Fish are sensitive, they have personalities," says the marine biologist. For Earle, eating a fish would be like eating a dog or a cat. "I would never eat anyone I know personally."There's a lot more to fish than meets the eye: they talk to each other, they like to be touched, and they engage in behavior that can seem very human. They can remember things and learn from experience. Earle and a growing number of animal rights activists see these as strong arguments against eating fish altogether.The activists also point out that fish feel pain and fish suffer horribly on their way from the sea to the supermarket. "While it may seem conspicuous that fish are able to feel pain, like every other animal, some people think of fish as swimming vegetables," says Dr. Lynne Sneddon. "Really, it's kind of a moral question. Is the enjoyment you get from fishing (or eating fish) more important than the pain of the fish?"Fishermen and (fried) fish lovers are skeptical. "I've never seen a smart fish," says Marie Swaringen as she finishes off a plate of fish at a Seattle seafood restaurant. "If they were very smart, they wouldn't get caught." "For years, everyone's been telling us to eat fish because it's so good for us," says another diner. "Now I've gotto feel guilty while I'm eating my fish? What are they going to think of next? Don't eat salad because cucumbers have feelings?"【1】According to Dr. Sylvia Earle, he would stop eating fish as a result of the following reasons EXCEPT______.A．Fish are sensitive and have personalitiesB．He knows fish very wellC．Fish are dangerous to eat because the water is pollutedD．Fish are clever【2】Dr. Lynne Sneddon describes the behavior of eating fish in a(n) _______ tone.A．opposed B．optimistic C．indifferent D．supportive【3】Which word below can take the place of the underlined word “conspicuous” in Paragraph 4_______? A．obvious B．easy C．impossible D．necessary【4】It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ____________.A．Human beings should stop eating fishB．We would feel guilty if we continued eating fishC．People eat fish because fish are deliciousD．Cucumber is a kind of vegetable or fruit【5】What was the author’s purpose when writing this passage_______?A. To advise people to stop eating fish.B. To introduce a topic of whether people should eat fish.C. To advise people not to stop eating fish.D To tell us that fish will feel pain when caught and transported2.American author Mark Twain once noted that “life would be surely happier if we could only be born at the age of 80 and gradually approach 18.” Twain’s words were only one of many complaints about aging. The ancient Greek poet Homer called old age “hateful”, and William Shakespeare termed it “terrible winter”.Alexander the Great, who conquered most of the known world before he died around 323 B.C., may have been looking for a river that healed the ravages of age. During the 12th century A.D., a king called Prester John ruled a land that had a river of gold and a fountain of youth.But the name linked most closely to the search for a fountain of youth is 16th-century Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon. He thought it would be found in Florida. In St. Augustine, the oldest city in the U.S., there’s a tourist attraction. It is said to be the fountain of youth that Ponce de Leon discovered soon after he arrived in what is now Florida in 1513. However, elderly visitors who drink the spring’s water don’t turn into teenagers.But the tale of the search for a fountain of youth is so appealing that it survives anyway, says Ryan K. Smith, a professor of history. “People are more attracted by the story of looking and not finding than they are by the idea that the fountain might be out there somewhere.”Still, a few grains of truth have helped to support the story. Kathleen Deagan, a professor of archaeology, says a graveyard and the remains of a Spanish mission dating back to St. Augustine’s founding in 1565 have been discovered near the so-called fountain of youth. Michelle Reyna, a spokesperson for the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park in St. Augustine, says the fountain has been a tourist attraction since at least 1901 and may have been attracting visitors since 1860.【1】According to the passage, who searched for a fountain of youth_________?A．Ponce de Leon B．William Shakespeare.C．Kathleen Deagan D．Michelle Reyna【2】What does the underlined word “ravages” in the second paragraph probably mean_______?A．Growth B．Limits C．Damages D．Benefits【3】What is the attitude of people towards the fountain of youth________?A．People find much pleasure in looking for it.B．People believe the existence of it somewhere.C．People have no interest in searching for it.D．People consider the idea of the fountain of youth absurd.【4】The passage mainly tells us ________.A．how the fountain of youth came into beingB．why some famous people hate becoming oldC．how to remain young foreverD．whether the fountain of youth exists【5】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage_________?A．The underlined words “the story” refers to Alexander the Great ruling a land that had a river of gold and a fountain of youth.B．Augustine, which is the oldest city in the U.S, lies in Florida.C．Some elderly visitors find themselves younger after drinking the water from the fountain of youth. D．Kathleen Deagan is the spokesperson for the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park.3.Wanted, Someone for a KissWe're looking for producers to join us on the sound of London Kiss 100 FM.

They have tried a range of tricks in recent years.But there should be a moral bottom line. Unfortunately, a Buick dealership used the tragedy of a two-month-old infant to advertise its cars last week on Weibo – Micro blog. And Hyundai Motor followed suit.On March 4, an SUV was stolen with the infant left inside alone in the northeastern city of Changchun. The news spread widely on Weibo after the baby’s father called the local police and radio station for help. The next day it was revealed that the infant was choked to death and buried in snow by the thief. The online community expressed its deeply felt sympathy and condolences.The Buick dealership posted a photo of the baby and two of its cars on its official Weibo account to advertise its GPS system that can locate the stolen car. “A few thoughts on the Changchun stolen car and baby incident: when buying a car it’s entirely OK to choose a brand with advanced technology,” said the post. Though the post was made before tragic fate of the infant was known, the action generated a storm of outrage on Weibo. Some online commentators said it is “marketing at the cost of lives” and “extremely despicable.”Worse was the post on Hyundai’s official Weibo account that advertis ed the anti – theft system on its new SUV Santa Fe, an entry made after the child was known to have died. The action also enraged micro bloggers.Both posts were soon deleted. The Buick dealership made an apology on Weibo to the family of the victim and the public. But screenshots saved by users continued to be posted and the negative impact on both brands persists.The two brands probably didn’t expect such a firestorm of fury from the Internet community, but they really made a big mistake sinking below the moral bottom line. They certainly ruined their own brand images.The Chinese have the same proverb as the English language – a little leak will sink a great ship. It takes decades to build the great ship of a respectable brand but it can take just a moment of negligence to make it fail completely.For those in corporate marketing, two lessons should be learned: first, be careful in the era of social media when one wrong can be easily magnified and have disastrous impacts in just a few clicks.Second and more importantly, think with your brain and heart. Never break the moral bonds of respect for human life and sympathy for our fellow man.【1】Who is to blame for the tragedy of Changchun infant according to the passage________?A．The baby’s father B．Buick and Hyundai dealershipC．Weibo D．Not clear【2】Which of the following statements is correct________?A．The missing infant was found alive in the stolen car.B．Micro blog marketing of tragic infant death fuels firestorm of criticism.C．People can’t see the two posts any more because they were deleted.D．The two car brands mentioned in the passage spoiled their own reputation by selling the stolen car.【3】What does the underlined word –“despicable” in paragraph 4 mean________?A．Immoral B．Important C．Distinguished D．Considerable【4】The reason why Hyundai’s post was worse than Buick’s is that _________.A．Hyundai dealership didn’t make an apology on WeiboB．Buick dealership expressed its deeply sympathy and condolencesC．Hyundai’s post was made after people knew the infant had diedD．Buick’s car was more advanced on its GPS system【5】In the last paragraph, the author encourages people __________.A．not to sink below the moral bottom lineB．not to sympathize our fellow manC．to think twice before making decisionD．to magnify the mistakes people make四、其他阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写在横线上（请注意问题后的词数要求）[1]Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. However, you can receive better grades if you want. Yes, even students with average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Here’s how:[2]Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule of your time. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete your normal reading and work assignments. Of course, studying shouldn’t occupy all of the free time on the schedule.[3]Make good use of your time in class. Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says.[4]Skim before you read. Look over a passage quickly before you begin to read it more carefully. As you preview the material, you get some idea of the content and how it is organized. Later when you begin to read you will recognize less important material and you may skip some of these portions. Skimming helps double your reading speed and improve your comprehension as well.[5]_____, Go over your notes as soon as you can after class. Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused. If you know what the teacher will discuss the next day, skim and read that material, too. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. Regular review leads to improved performance on tests.[6]Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t worry excessively about a single test.[7]There are other techniques that might help you with your studying.

While express mail representing efficiency and speed is prevalent（盛行的）in China , there is another type of mail appearing as a new business : “ Future Mail ” . “ Future Mail ” service can make people slow down and let them understand the meaning of “ time ” in another way . And “ Future Mail ” letters are “ reminders of affection , friendship and love ”. Lin Xiao fan , a senior high school student in Hefei , wrote a letter to her mother in advance to express her love to her mother for next Mother’s Day . Feng Xiao , a youth who feels pressure despite of some achievements in her career decided to write a letter to herself on her 25th birthday and have it delivered five years later on her30th birthday through a “ Future Mail ” . She expressed her thoughts about her present life and her expectations for the future to encourage herself to face up to the challenges of her life with courage .While “ Future Mail ” is gaining po pularity , some people are concerned about what happens if the postal address of the receiver changes or if the company goes broke before letters are delivered . Actually , customers required to complete an acceptance form and make an assessment so they can be compensated if their letters or goods are lost or damaged .Most of the business’s customers are college students and young white-collar workers . Psychologists said young Chinese might be given a vent（发泄）to their negative feelings through the service . Most people put their hopes and wishes in the letters so they can experience the connection between “ past ” and “ present ” while they receive the letters . It can help people reunderstand the meaning of “ time ” .【1】The underlined word in Para . 3 probably means .A．paid B．changed C．bought D．repaired【2】Which of the following is NOT true ?A．People can express their thoughts and feelings to themselves or others through a “ Future Mail ” .B．The “ Future Mail ” business is not perfect .C．Only young people accept the new “ Future Mail ” service .D．“ Future Mail ”service can let people reunderstand the meaning of “ time ” .【3】You can read this article in newspaper’s part .A．sports .B．science C．leisure D．policy【4】Which is NOT the purpose of Feng Xiao’s letter ?A．To encourage herself to face up to the challenges .B．To express her thoughts about her present life .C．To express her expectations for the future .D．To remind herself of something she must do .【5】The best title of this article should be .A．The Different Kinds of LetterB．“ Future Mail ” Business Taking off in ChinaC．The Advantage of “ Future Mail ”D．The Letter in Future2.As computers become more popular in China , Chinese people are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters . But if they use the computer too much , they may end up forgetting the exact strokes（笔画）of each Chinese character when writing on paper . Experts suggest people , especially students , write by hand more .Do you write by hand more or type more ? In Beijing , students start using a computer as early as primary school . And computer dependence is more widespread among university students . Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer .All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer .It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer . And that’s why computers are being applied more and mor e often to modern education . But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly , problems appear .“ When I’m writing with a pen , I find I often can’t remember how to write a character , though I feel I’m familiar with it .”“ I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper .”Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about . Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer , why bother to handwrite ?Many educators think differently . Shi Liwei , the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said“ Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic（审美的）value . But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value . All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost . And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion . Through one’s handwriting , people can get to know one’s thinkingand personality . Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them .”To encourage students to handwrite more , many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory（必修的）and in universities , some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand .【1】Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage ?A．The Importance of Handwriting and Typing .B．To Type or to Handwrite .C．Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by HandD．Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters【2】The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because .A．they are usually asked to email their homework and essaysB．they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and convenientlyC．they find it not easy to remember how to write a characterD．computers have become a trend and fashion in China【3】 Which of the following statements is NOT true of the advantages of handwriting ?A．Handwriting contains the writer’s emotion .B．The writer’s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting .C．Handwriting can impress people well and build one’s self-confidence .D．Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value .【4】The underlined expression “ taking stock in ” ( Paragraph 4 ) probably means .A．getting bored with B．getting dependent onC．becoming crazy about D．getting curious about【5】 We can draw the conclusion from the passage that .A．more and more students will give up writing on a computerB．writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one dayC．more and more students will pay attention to handwritingD．the typing article better expresses one’s emotion and quality3.CHOOSE YOUR VIRGINIARock House MuseumTake a journey through history with a visit to the exciting museum and historic sites of Wytheville .

Don’t lose hope ! We’ll be looking at ways to make healthy choices without spending too much money .First you don’t need to b uy the expensive pre-prepared “ diet foods . ” Back in the early 1970s when I started housekeeping , 90% of the food I bought was ingredients . Very few things were preprocessed（预处理的）. Now 90% of the food you find in the store is quick food . That’s a bad thing .Quick foods like boxed “ just add hamburger ” meals have had the fiber removed to make them faster to prepare . Take a look at the label on that box . It often has low numbers listed under “ fiber ” because fiber takes longer to digest . If the low fiber meal is digested , the result is that your body begins to store fat . Besides , your body is short of nutrients（营养物质）. You will be driven to eat more to try to make up for the low quality of the food you are eating .And then there are the chemicals the producers add to the quick meals to make them palatable . If not , the stuff would taste like cardboard and you wouldn’t enjoy it . However , these chemicals certainly aren’t good for your health .What’s the answer ? Buy whole ingredients and give up the expensive , low nutrition , processed foods . Do the cooking yourself and you will have control over what is in your food —and it will cost less , too .【1】People who find it hard to get a healthier weight think .A．they had too much diet foodsB．they didn’t make a detailed planC．they have no time to do exercise in gymD．they can’t afford diet foods and to exercise in gym【2】The author doesn’t like quick food mainly because .A．it contains too much fat B．it makes people eat lessC．it has low fiber D．it takes longer to digest【3】The underlined word “ palatable ” in Paragraph 4 probably means “ ”.A．fresh B．delicious C．healthy D．simple【4】The author suggests in the text that people should .A．control the amount of foodB．eat more processed foodsC．cook food for themselvesD．choose cheap ingredients【5】Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage ? （①="Paragraph" 1,②="Paragraph" 2 ,…⑤="Paragraph" 5）A．①/②③④/⑤B．①②/③④/⑤C．①②③/④/⑤D．①/②③/④⑤四、其他阅读下面的短文，根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。

Later, in the , as I cooked our meal, my daughter crept up to me, very still. When I turned, I nearly her down. “Get out of the way!” I with a frown(皱眉). She left, her little heart broken.That night, as I awake in bed, God’s q uiet spoke to me and said, “Whilewith a stranger, you are and polite, but with those you love, you are quick and excited… Go look right now on the kitchen floor, you will find some there by the door. Those are the flowers she brought for you. She picked them herself- pink, yellow, and blue. She stood there quietly, not to your surprise, and you never saw the tears in her eyes.”By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall. I quietly went and knelt by herbed,“Wake up, sweetheart, wake up,” I said,“Are these the flowers you picked for me? She smiled, “I found them, out by the tree. I wrapped them in a napkin, just for you. I knew you would like them. the blue.” I said,” I am so sorry that I missed them today… And I shouldn’t have fussed at you that way.”And she whispered, “Mommy, that is okay… I still love you.” I hugged her and said, “ I love you too… And I love my flowers, especially the blue.”Are you that: If you die tomorrow, the that you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days.

We always had totally different opinions. He thought that college was a waste of time, but for me it was important to finish college. He wanted me to work my way to the top as he had done in his field, but I wanted a different life. There was a time when we did not talk with each other.A few months ago, I heard that my 84-year-old dad was in poor health. When he called and asked whether I could move from Colorado back to Tennessee to help him, I knew he was seriously ill. I am his only child and so it was time to meet my father’s requirement.Two weeks after moving back, we bought a boat and started fishing again. Fishing was one of the few things that we did while I was young and that we both enjoyed. It is strange but true that as we are fishing we are able to put things that have kept us apart for so many years behind us. We are able to talk about things that we have never talked about before. Fishing has been healing the old wounds that have kept us apartIt is not important how many fish we catch. It is about enjoying the relationship that we have not had for years.I’m 62 and he is 84. When we are on the lake fishing, it is like two kids enjoying life. It is f ar better to find a way to put the unhappy past behind. I am so lucky to spend the happy time with my father in his last years. Now my heart is filled with love. A smile always graces my lips.【1】The author and his father became further apart because______________.A．they had different views on thingsB．they lived very far from each otherC．they only communicated by phoneD．they seldom went to see each other【2】What made the author come back to Tennessee?A．Because his father invited him to go fishing.B．Because he decided to live in a different city.C．Because his father is ill and needs caring.D．Because he regretted being rude to his father.【3】For the author，fishing with his old father___________ .A．helps cure his father’s diseaseB．is a good way to get close to natureC．makes him realize the importance of exerciseD．offers a chance for them to communicate【4】According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A．The writer’s car is always breaking down.B．Father intended me to be a fisherman.C．I was unwilling to come back.D．Father used to think it was useless to attend college..【5】What can be the best title for the text?A．Forgiving Is Difficult B．Fishing Brings Us TogetherC．Memories of Old Days D．My Beloved Father2.When asked why he or she wears clothes, some people will probably answer "to keep warm and to cover my body". These are the basic reasons why clothes are worn, but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others.If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies, most clothes would be simple and cheap. In most Western countries, however, clothes are sometimes very expensive. The main reason for this is not the cost of the cloth or the cost of making the clothes. The clothes are expensive because of fashion.Successful businessmen, for example, often wear very expensive suits, shirts and ties. Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie. It’s just a suit and a tie but they pay these p rices because of the famous name of the designer. A suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearer's body just as well.Fashion is always changing, which means those who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last month's clothes have only been worn once or twice. Some people have wardrobes full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion. Being fashionable, therefore, can be a very expensive pastime!【1】 What do people basically wear clothes for?A．Looking attractive to others.B．Following the fashion.C．Appearing successful to others.D．Keeping warm and covering bodies.【2】The main reason why clothes are sometimes very expensive is that _______.A．one has to buy new clothes B．these clothes are in fashionC．the cost of the cloth is high D．making clothes costs much【3】 We can learn from the passage that _______.A．expensive clothes are not any warmer than cheap onesB．fashion is not always changingC．expensive clothes are warmerD．fashion designers like expensive clothes【4】What does the underlined word “wardrobes” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．Fashionable clothes shops.B．The clothes that some people have. C．Cupboards for storing clothes.D．Shelves used for keeping books.【5】 What is the passage mainly about?A．Suits and ties.B．Clothes and fashion.C．Beauty and success.D．Cost and pastime.3.If a city wishes to host the Olympics, it must submit a proposal(提交提案) to the IOC. After all proposals have been submitted, the IOC votes. If no city with the fewest votes is eliminated, the voting continues, until a majority winner is determined. Typically the Games are awarded several years in advance, allowing the winning city time to prepare for the Games.In selecting the site of the Olympic Games, the IOC considers a number of factors, and chiefly among them is which organizing committee seems most likely to stage the Games effectively. The IOC also considers which parts of the world have not yet hosted the Games. For instance, Tokyo, the host of the 1964 Summer Games, and Beijing, that of the 2008 Games, were chosen in part to popularize the Olympic movement in Asia. Because of growing importance television worldwide, the IOC in recent yea rs has also taken into account the host city’s time zone. Whenever the Games take place in the USA or Canada, for example, American television networks are willing to pay specially higher amounts for television rights because they can broadcast popular events live in the best viewing hours.Once the Games have been awarded, it is the duty of the local organizing committee----not the IOC or the NOC of the host city’s country to provide them with money. This is often done with a part of the Olympic television revenues(收入), and corporate sponsorships(社团赞助), tickets sales, and other smaller revenue sources. In many cases there is also direct government support. Although many cities have achieved amounts of money by hosting the Games, the Olympics can be financially risky. When the financial gains from the Games were less than expected, the city was left with large debts.【1】_______will be determined to host the Olympic Games by the IOC.A. A city that submits a proposalB. A majority winner in votingC. A city that has perfect time zoneD. One that hasn’t hosted the Games【2】 Which of the following words can be used to replace the word “ selecting” in paragraph 2?A．electing B．hoping C．choosing D．thinking【3】If the Games take place in Canada, American television networks___.A．can’t broadcast popular events live in the best viewing hoursB．will be forbidden to broadcast live sporting eventsC．are willing to pay much higher amounts for television rightsD．will not pay for the Canadian television networks【4】According to the last paragraph, which following statement is true?A．The host city must be left with large debtsB．The city may achieve a lot of moneyC．There is no financial risk in hosting the Olympic GamesD．It is impossible that the host city couldn’t make money【5】Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A．How to host Olympic Games B．Winner or loserC．Applying for host for Olympics D．The Olympic Games4.The koala is one of Australia’s most treasured creatures, which is a lovely little creature. But now, it is in big trouble.Affected by habitat (栖居地) loss and climate change, like many other uniquely Australian animals, koalas arebeing squeezed into smaller regions. But at present, it is a deadly disease, a somewhat silent killer that causes a further decline in the koala population, that is worrying many scientists about the fate of the koala.The killer is Chlamydia, which has caused symptoms in up to 50 percent of the wild koalas, with probably even more infected (感染) but not showing symptoms. It has been particularly severe in Queensland, where nearly all koalas are infected. The disease causes many symptoms including eye infections, which can lead to blindness, making it difficult for them to find their primary food.Treating Chlamydia in wild koalas is a challenge. There is no treatment available for it. Only a small percentage of the animals can be treated successfully and returned to the wild. Besides, there is no national plan in Australia to save the koala；it is up to each region to make management plans for its koala population.The good news is that researchers are working to test a vaccine (疫苗) that would help prevent further spread. If all goes well, plans can be carried out to distribute the vaccil1e more widely. But it’s impossible to vaccinate all wild koalas.Another possibility would be to make vaccine distribution a routi11e part of treatment for the thousands of koalas brought into care centers every year after they are injured by cars or dogs.While it is a combination of problems that are affecting the wild koala population, many experts believe this vaccine would be an important step in helping koalas survive longer. It may buy enough time to give researchers a chance to solve some of the other problems facing Australia’s koalas.【1】Which isn’t considered the main cause of koala’s population decline?A．Habitat loss.B．Injuries from cars and dogs.C．Climate change.D．A deadly disease.【2】The third paragraph mainly tells us .A．the serious result Chlamydia has caused to the koalaB．Chlamydia affected the koala only in particular regionsC．the most serious symptom of Chlamydia is eye infectionsD．Chla1nydia can seriously affect koala’s primary food【3】The underlined word “it” in the fourth paragraph probably refers to .A．the koala B．Chlamydia C．national plan D．eye infection【4】 We can learn from the text that the vaccine .A．would cure the killer Chlamydia quite effectivelyB．would only be distributed in koala care centersC．has already been put into practical use in AustraliaD．cannot be distributed to all the infected koalas【5】It can be inferred from the text that .A．a national plan for saving koalas will be made soon in AustraliaB．koala population is declining only in a few regionsC．researchers need enough time to so1ve the koala problemsD．experts have lost the best chance to save the infected koalas三、书面表达某英语报社开辟了中学生习作专栏。

But these pets carry plenty of germs and allergens（过敏原）, prompting researchers to ask: Are cats and dogs really safe for children？A study finds that, contrary to many parents’ fears, owning cats or dogs does not increase a child’s risk of developing allergies, and in fact, may actually protect them. The study’s lead author, Dr. Dennic Ownby of the Medical College of Georgia, says that even he was “very surprised” by the results. Ownby and colleagues followed more than 470 children from birth to age 6 or 7, comparing those exposed to cats and dogs during their first year of life to those who were not.By using skin-prick(刺) tests for detecting common allergies, the researchers found that, contrary to what many doctors had been taught for years, children who had lived with a pet were not at greater risk.Even more remarkable, children who had two or more dogs or cats had an even greater reduction, up to 77 percent, in risk of allergies. Researchers suggest this protective effect may be the result of early exposure to lots of bacteria that are carried by dogs and cats. Exposing young children to these bacteria helps" exercise" their immune systems early in life so that they're better able to resist allergic diseases later.There's something very important in that first year of life when the immune system is developing that we can retrain it away from an allergic response, said Dr. William Davis.And while researchers are not e ncouraging parents to buy dogs or cats just to reduce a child’s allergy risk, they say if a family already has one or more animals, there's no need to get rid of them.【1】Why do the researchers feel “very surprised” by the results of the study?A．Because the results are contrary to their expectation．B．Because so many children are playing with cats and dogs．C．Because parents are so much worried about their children．D．Because children with animals may develop allergies easily．【2】Compared with children who have pets，those who haven’t ______.A．will lose the chance to develop immune systemB．may suffer allergic diseases more oftenC．will reduce the harm from bacteriaD．can keep doctors away【3】It can be inferred from the passage that ______．A．pets are ill-treated by their ownersB．less families would like to own cats and dogsC．keeping pets is a good way to keep children healthyD．the results of the study can make families with pets feel at ease【4】The underlined word “it” in the fif th paragraph refers to________.A．the early life B．an allergic diseaseC．immune system D．something important【5】What may be the best title of the passage?A．How to protect your kids from allergiesB．Your pets may be helping your kidsC．Bacteria do good to your kidsD．Advantages of owning pets2.Most students try to learn English grammar using grammar textbooks. They study grammar rules and take grammar tests. They use an analytical（分析的） approach, attempting to memorize, and then apply, a great number of rules.However, research has proved this method inefficient and ineffective. The truth is, the human brain simply cannot consciously remember process and use hundreds of or thousands of grammar rules. Real speech is too fast.Native speakers do not learn grammar in this way, but rather intuitively (凭直觉地) and unconsciously. They learn in a complete way, not by attempting to memorize individual grammar rules. As a result, native speakers use correct grammar fluently and easily.Fortunately, it is possible for English learners to learn grammar this way. Language teacher Blaine Ray has developed a unique "intuitive" approach to teach English grammar. Her system uses "point of view" stories to teach the patterns of English grammar, allowing students unconsciously to acquire correct grammar without ever studying grammar rules.In this system, the teacher first tells a simple story from one point of view. It may be told about the past, then repeated, but beginning with "since he was a child"; then repeated again, but this time about the future. Listening to these stories allows students intuitively and effortlessly to learn English grammar and makes them be able to use it correctly when they speak.Point of View Stories is a creative new way to study English grammar, and offers hope to millions of frustrated English learners.【1】Which of the following ways is approved by the author?A．Remembering grammar rules.B．Taking grammar tests.C．Analyzing grammatical structure.D．Applying language to situations.【2】 What does the underlined part "this way" in the fourth paragraph refer to?A．Talking to native speakers when learning.B．Learning English grammar in a complete way.C．Using correct English grammar.D．Learning English grammar from a teacher.【3】From this passage we learn that ______.A．native speakers learn English grammar by listening to storiesB．Blaine Ray’s method gets students to grasp correct grammar unconsciouslyC．Blaine Ray teaches grammar rules by asking students to tell storiesD．it’s hard for students to speak correct English in the new system【4】This passage wants to ______.A．criticize the traditional way of learning grammarB．introduce a new way to study English grammarC．ask students to learn English grammar by listening to storiesD．tell us how the native speakers learn English grammar【5】Why shouldn’t the English learners use an analytical approach?A．because the analytical approach can let them learn English grammar effortlesslyB．because the analytical approach makes them be able to use English correctly when they speak. C．because the analytical approach can’t let them memorize and then apply a gr eat number of rules. D．because Real speech is too fast.3.When a first-time father saw his newborn son, he immediately noticed the baby's ears obviously standing out from his head. He expressed his concern to the nurse that some children might tease his child. A doctor examined the baby and reassured the new dad that his son was healthy- the ears presented only a minor problem with its appearance.But the nervous father persisted. He wondered if the child might suffer psychological effects of ridicule（嘲笑）, or if they should consider plastic surgery（整形手术）. The nurse assured him that it was really no problem, and he should just wait to see if the boy grows into his ears.The father finally felt more optimistic about his child, but now he worried about his wife's reaction to those large ears. She had been delivered by operation, and had not yet seen the child.“She doesn't take things as easily as I do,” he said to the nurse.By this time, the new mother was settled in the recovery room and ready to meet her new baby. The nurse went along with the dad to lend some support in case this inexperienced mother became upset about her baby's large ears.The baby was in a receiving blanket with his head covered for the short trip through the cold air-conditioned corridor(走廊）. The baby was placed in his mother's arms, who eased the blanket back so that she could look at her child for the first time.She took one look at her baby's face and looked to her husband and gasped(喘气说）, “Oh, Honey! Look! He has your ears!”No problem with Mom. She married those ears...and she loves the man to whom they are attached.The poet Kahlil Gibran said, “Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.” It's hard to see the ears when you're looking into the light.【1】When the father first saw his baby, he was worried that________.A．the baby might not grow up healthily.B．the baby might be laughed at by others.C．the baby might disappoint its mother.D．the baby might have mental problems.【2】 According to the doctor and n urse, the baby’s ears________.A．could not function well.B．looked the same as others.C．only caused a small problem.D．needed to have plastic surgery.【3】What is true about the baby’s mother?A．She blamed her husband for the baby’s big ears.B．She was the first to discover the baby’s large ears.C．She suggested having an operation on the baby immediately.D．She found something similar between the baby and its father.【4】What does the underlined word they refer to?A. The ears. B The parents. C. The doctor and nurse. D. The problems【5】What’s the function of the last paragraph?A．To advise readers to listen carefully.B．To draw a conclusion from the story.C．To criticize the wrong attitude to physical beauty.D．To stress the importance of doctor-patient relationship.4.Throughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists. No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change-to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.Landscape(风景) is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In the 1970s, Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice. Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees. In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography(摄影术) to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.【1】The underlined word “poetry” most probably means __________.A．an object for artistic creation B．a collection of poemsC．an unusual quality D．a natural scene【2】 Leslie's paintings are extraordinary because .A．they are close in style to works in ancient timesB．they look like works by 19th-century paintersC．they draw attention to common things in lifeD．they depend heavily on color photography【3】What is the author's opinion of artistic reality?A．It will not be found in future works of art.B．It does not have a long-lasting standard.C．It is expressed in a fixed artistic form.D．It is lacking in modern works of art.【4】What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph?A．They express people's curiosity about the past.B．They make people interested in everyday experience.C．They are considered important for variety in form.D．They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.【5】Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?A．History of the arts.B．Basic questions of the arts.C．New developments in the arts.D．Use of modern technology in the arts.三、其他阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）Good sleep is needed for good health.

In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what "keeping up with the Joneses" is about. It is the storyof someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began eaming $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days.He got married and moved with his wife to a verywealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it " Keeping up with the Joneses" because "Jones" is a very common name in the United States. " Keeping up with the Joneses" came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand's series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are "Joneses" in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.【1】Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they______.A．want to be as rich as their neighborsB．want others to know or to think that they are richC．don't want others to know they are richD．want to be happy【2】 It can be inferred (推断) from the story that rich people like to_______.A．live outside New York City B．live in New York cityC．live in apartments D．have many neighbors【3】 According to the writer, it is ________ to keep up with the Joneses.A．correct B．interesting C． impossible D． good3. You're rushing to get out of the door for a meeting, but you just can't seem to find your car keys. Or you've got tickets booked for a Caribbean cruise(坐船旅行) , but your passport disappeared. Or maybe you've just come back from a grocery store tour and re alized…Hey, did I leave my baby in the checkout line?Ok, you've probably never gone to the extremes of our last example (we hope), but most of us experience slip - ups like these on a daily basis. No matter how smart you may be, it doesn't mean your brain won't turn to Swiss cheese every so often, and no amount of e-mail reminders can help you remember where you left your TV remote or lucky penny.But now, there is a new pair of eyeglasses that can help to find all those little things you know must be around somewhere : Let's call it Vision 2.0.The new glasses, which are being developed in a Japanese lab under the code name Smart Goggles,are similar to a Google search engine for your eyes. The high - tech glasses come with a camera that records everything you see on a daily basis, and boast built - in object recognition software that allows them to keep track of whatever comes across their field of vision. If you've got a collection of art sculptures that the camera can't recognize immediately, no problem : Just say the name of each item, and the glasses will memorize them right away.The Smart Goggles' superb tracking abilities mean that whenever you're looking for your keys, your overdue library book, or yes, even your baby, all you have to do is to say the word and the Goggles' camera will show you the last time your desired object appeared on screen, telling exactly where you'll be able to find it.Though the glasses are still too big for general use, the research team in Japan believes that they'll be able to make the modem glasses smaller to the size of normal glasses in the near future, making them the perfect new accessory for yourself or any other absent - minded Professor you know.With these intelligent designs, you'll never lose anything again. Except maybe your glasses.【1】The best title for the passage should be _______.A．A Habit of Forgetting Small ThingsB．Usage of New High - Tech GlassesC．How to Find Little Things EasilyD．Glasses Will Help Find Your Things【2】Which of the following is a slip - up according to the passage?A．You can't find your watch before going to work.B．You can't work out a math problem in given time.C．You don't know how to deal with a naughty boy.D．You don't know how to get to a hospital.【3】Which of the following statement is true about Smart Goggles?A．They're a search engine used on the Internet.B．They're a camera with recognition software.C．They're software used in computers.D．They're sunglasses protecting our eyes.【4】Where are the new glasses being developed?A．In China.B．In America.C．In Japan.D．In France.四、其他阅读下面短文并回答问题 ,然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求) 。

But when they got to describe their problems, things got a little _40_. Two of the children had headaches, _41_ they weren’t holding their heads like headache sufferers _42_ do. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected.

The waiting room was warm.I looked out at the family huddled by the Christmas tree. The smallest one was pointing at the television and exclaiming something to her mother. The oldest one was looking at an ornament on the tree.I went back to the nurses’ station and mentioned we had a _48_ family in the waiting room. The nurses, irritated about having to work on Christmas, suddenly felt _49_ for a family just trying to get warm on Christmas. The team went into _50_, much as we do when there’s a medical emergency.

He answered advertisements until he could not afford to buy any more stamps. Boris grew annoyed，then depressed，then a little hardened．Still he went on trying and still he failed．He began to think that he had no future at all.“Why don’t you start your own business?” one of his uncles told him．“The world is a money-locker. You’d better find a way of opening it.”“But what can I do?”“Get out and have a look round,” advised his uncle in a vague sort of way．“See what people want；then give it to them，and they will pay for it.”Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of a waste ground in the end. Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer．He worked hard，made friends with his customers and gradually managed to build up his goodwill and profit．A few months later, he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himself．He found a number of empty shops but they were all no good：in the wrong position，too expensive or with some other snag(障碍). But at long last，he managed to find an empty shop on a new estate where there were plenty of customers but no competition.Boris and his assistant taught themselves how to repair scooters and motor-cycles．Slowly but surely the profits increased and the business developed. At last，Boris had managed to open the money-locker and found bank notes and gold Coins inside．【1】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage ?A．Goodwill is the key to success．B．The world is a money-lockerC．No education, no futureD．Difficulty of starting a small business【2】Which of the following best describes Boris’ job hunting experience?A．Surprising B．Encouraging C．Boring D．Disappointing【3】Boris start his career by .A．cycling around the townB．developing a waste groundC．repairing cyclesD．buying empty shops【4】Boris finally chose an empty shop on a new estate because .A．it was not so expensiveB．he had a lot of old customers thereC．he could make good use of his skills thereD．there were good opportunities there【5】We can infer from the last paragraph that Boris .A．still couldn’t make good profitsB．set off in a successful careerC．found a lot of gold coins by accidentD．had great difficulty running his business2.CLASSIFIED ADSJOB WANTEDI’m Black, a 25 young man living in Shanghai and looking for a job in a variety offields, web designer, teaching Spanish or English or working as a waiter or bar tender.I have a friendly personality and I'm hard working.

In their single-minded pursuit(追求)of success，the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten．However，while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed，others take an opposite attitude．In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly blame competition．Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society．Teaching these young people，I often observe in them a desire to fail．They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success .By not trying，they always have an excuse：“I may have lost，but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.’’ What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost，that would mean a lot．Such a loss would be a measure of their worth．Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves．Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others．Both are afraid of not being valued．Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(缓解)can we discover a new meaning in competition．【1】What does this passage mainly talk about?A．Competition helps to set up self-respect．B．Opinions about competition are different among people．C．Competition is harmful to personal quality development．D．Failures are necessary experiences in competition．【2】Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?A．It pushes society forward．B．it builds up a sense of duty．C．It improves personal abilities．D．It encourages individual efforts．【3】The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means________．A．those who try their best to winB．those who value competition most highlyC．those who are against competition most stronglyD．those who rely on others most for success【4】What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”?A．One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others’．B．One’s success in competition needs great efforts．C．One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills．D．One’s success is based on how hard he has tried．【5】Which point of view may the author agree to?A．Every effort should be paid back．B．Competition should be encouraged．C．Winning should be a life—and—death matter．D．Fear of failure should be removed in competition．4.Recently, university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called Unplugged. It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours．Unplugged is being run by Dr. Roman Gerodimos, a lecturer in Communication and Journalism at Bournemouth University．During the experiment, Dr. Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers．He said：“They’re reporting withdrawal symptoms, overeating, feeling nervous, isolated and disconnected．”During their 24-hour test, three of the experiment’s participants were followed around by a BBC reporter plus cameraman．They were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline, but of course, they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops．Elliot Day wrote：“Today, my whole morning routine was thrown up into the air．Despite being aware of the social importance of the media, I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers．”From Caroline Scott, we read：“I didn’t expect it, but being deprived of the media for 24 hours resulted in my day-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual…I didn’t break out in a cold sweat like our lecturer expected us all to, but It’s not somethin g I would like to do again！”And Charlotte Gay wrote：“I have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been my mobile；not only is it a social device, it’s my main access point of communication．”Earlier in the year, a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking hours using the media, often plugged into several things at once．So, with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate, how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future?【1】What can we learn about the volunteers?A．Volunteers didn’t write down about their day offline．B．Volunteers weren’t allowed to use any media for 24 hours．C．Volunteers were followed around by Dr Roman Gerodimos．D．Only volunteers in the UK took part in Unplugged experiment．【2】Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the participants’ feelings？A．Anxious．B．Lonely C．Bored．D．Despaired．【3】Which of the following is true of Caroline Scott？A．The media ban affected his temperature．B．His work went on smoothly without the media．C．His work was carried on hard without the media．D．His life was empty without the radio or newspapers．【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．People should use the media devices reasonably．B．People can easily survive the media devices addict．C．People can spend more time sleeping in the future．D．People spend about half the time using the media devices．【5】The text is most probably a ．A．newspaper ad B．book review C．news report D．science fiction story 5.阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。

That field was not open to her because she was female,” Lundin said. Potter was urged to turn the charming stories she wrote in letters to children into books. She wrote 23 books in all--a body of work that has inspired plays, ballets, films and an astonishing amount of merchandise. “The Tule of Peter Rabbit is probably the most famous children’s book in the world, which was published in 1902 and has re ally stood the test of time. It ’s been translated into 36 languages. The parents and grandparents will share it with the next generation,” said Lundin.Potter also made a mark on the world through her land conservation.“In many ways, she was like Peter Ra bbit, risking into a world of adventure. She withdrew from London as soon as she started making some money on her books to the Lake District and became an extremely important farmer and conservationist. She preserved and passed on 15 farms and over 4,000 a cres, which were given back to the country as gifts in the 20th century,”said Lundin.Even though she was born 150 years ago, she was amazingly modern--her embracing of the natural world, commented Jennifer Blatchley Smith, an artistic director of the show Peter Rabbit Tales to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Potter’s birth.【1】What helped Beatrix Potter to write The Tale of Peter Rabbit successfully?A．Her success in becoming a botanical scientistB．Her skills in animated(动画) picturesC．Her life and work experiencesD．Her interest in animals in childhood alone【2】What does the word “frustrated ” in the third paragraph mean?A．Inspired B．DevotedC．Interested D．Disappointed【3】What is Beatrix Potter?A．A botanist and artistB．An artistic directorC．A writer, conservationist and farmerD．An successful scientist and professor【4】Why does the author write the article?A．In celebration of Potter’s 150th birthdayB．In honour of Potter’s new contributionsC．In praise of Potter’s spirit of selflessnessD．In support of Potter’s book promotions4.Amazon is breaking into physical retail(零售) in a new way. The online retail giant revealed a new kind of physical store concept in a video published on Monday.The store, called Amazon Go, doesn't work like a typical Walmart or supermarket. Instead, it's designed so that shoppers will use an app, also called Amazon Go, to automatically add the products that they plan to buy to a digital shopping cart by scanning a QR code. They can then walk out of the building without waiting in a checkout line because Amazon will charge their Amazon account and send them a receipt(收据).The first Amazon Go store is located in Seattle, where Amazon is headquartered. For years, there have been rumors the e-commerce company would expand its dominance(主导地位) from digital to physical shopping. Amazon began experimenting with physical bookstores a year ago, but Amazon Go may mark its boldest(大胆的) bet on physical ones yet. By removing much of the staff needed to operate a store, Amazon keeps costs lower than traditional competitors. It's also in a strong position to bring together data on its customers' shopping habits online and offline to make better suggestions in all situations.However, the company could be thought of as being a threat to some of the 3.4 million Americans who work as cashiers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And Donald Trump repeatedly criticized Amazon and its founder Jeff Bezos, “He’s using the Washington Post for power so that the politicians in Washington don’t tax Amazon like they should be taxed.”“Four years ago we asked ourselves: what if we could create a shopping experience with no lines and no checkout? Could we push the boundaries of computer vision and machine learning to create a store where customers could simply take what they want and go?” The company says on an informational page about Amazon Go. For now, Amazon is starting slow. The Amazon Go is only open to Amazon employees in our Beta program, and is scheduled to open to the public in 2017.【1】In Amazon Go, people can .A．buy products by paying cashB．buy carts without scanning a QR codeC．have no bother to check out and queueD．use an app to wait in a checkout line【2】What can we infer from the third paragraph?A．Amazon has dominated the physical bookstoresB．Amazon can contribute to reducing the cost of staffC．Amazon manages to take the place of physical shoppingD．Amazon can ignore each customer's advice in all situations【3】The reason why Donald Trump repeatedly criticized Amazon Go is that Amazon Go .A．would result in a political crisisB．would threaten the career of cashiersC．may get away with taxD．would increase unemployment【4】What is the main idea of the passage?A．Indicating Trump’s attitude to AmazonB．Explaining how the physical store worksC．Arousing people’s interest in AmazonD．Introducing the Amazon Go store二、其他After entering high school, you must wonder how to study well. Here are some good skills for you.Go to class. If you want to do well at school, going to class is the first step in studying well. If you miss classes, you will miss what the teacher thinks i s important; as a result, you’ll miss what is the most likely to end up on the test.【1】Take good notes. Try not to write down everything.【2】Write down unfamiliar terms. After class, review your notes as soon as possible. You can fill in details that you missed and review the material while it is still fresh on your mind.【3】If you are struggling in class, talk to your teacher. He or she may be able to give you more help before or after class. Most teachers have little sympathy(同情) for students who just become worried about failing during the last few weeks of the grading period.Take part in class discussions.【4】Asking questions and having eye contact with your teachers and classmates can increase your participation(参与) and your focus during the class discussion. If the material is difficult, you’d better read it before class. This helps you make your point clear in class.Form study groups. Get students together who want to do well in class. Make sure that everyone is familiar with the material because you do not want to spend time re-teaching material to people who do not understand it.【5】Sometimes group sessions(上课时间) can become chatting sessions.A．But be careful!B．Don’t be late for your class.C．Talk to your teacher if you need help.D．You should write down all the new terms.E. So if you want to study well, go to every class.F. All you need is to put down the main points in your own words.G.
