This is a question our four kids and whichever friends arestaying for supper expect to be asked each evening atsuppertime. Usually, it’sfollowed with, “Uhh……Umm…We had pizza for lunch. “And then I have torefuse the response and ask for something meaningful-either something helearned or something that happened with his friends.But, this day, my son surprised me as he wentinto great detail about how he had been honestly wronged by a couple ofclassmates and laughed at in front of the class. I asked more questions andlearned that the teachers were aware of the situation. The issue had been dealtwith as much as the teachers and staff were able to. It was really just a matterof kids being mean and deciding to play a trick on someone.I thought about the situation all night. I vacillatedbetween meeting the teachers, meeting the parents of the classmates, and notdoing anything since the story had been told to me in a matter-of-fact way-notoverly excitedly.I waited until the next day after school. On thecar ride home, I questioned my son what about today after yesterday’ssituation. My son was surprised that I broug ht it up again. “What?No, it’s over, Mom. They’re my friends. They were just beingstupid. They apologized. Forgive and forget, you know?We’re all good. “I was worried that perhaps he was trying to hidehis concern or sadness about the thing.

It might be justanother point on the map if not for its seasonal settlers.It happens like clockwork every fall thathundreds of polar bears make their way through the town to the freezing baywhere they hunt for seals after the ice packs enough to support their weight.The animals have been connected with Churchill since at least 1619. That’s whenNorwegian explorer Jens Munk and his sailors recorded making a meal of one bearwhile they wintered in the area. “It was of good ta ste and did notdisagree with us. “That’s what Munk wrote in his journal.Over the years, the animals’ coming has earned the town the nameof”Polar Bear Capital of the World. “Today, Churchill’s bearpopulation goes beyond its human population. There used to be about 7, 000residents but now only 813 living there. There was no such thing as anorganized tour group to see the bears until 1980. The town might have been interrible financial hardships. But the growing bear tourism industry helped.Today, some 10, 000 tourists come to the town tosee polar bears for six weeks in autumn every year. But the reasons why theycome are different from before. Everyone was happier and they had such a goodtime seeing polar bears. Now things have changed because the word is out thatthis Western Hudson Bay population of bears, Churchill Bears, are going to bethe first population of polar bears to die out. So when the tourists come up,they all have a little bit of a lump in their throats because they’re looking ata beautiful b ear, but they’re also looking at a dying-out bear, which makes thewhole attitude toward the bears different. Unfortunately, that’s becoming themajor part of the whole attraction of the tours as well. Come and see the bearsbefore it’s too late.（1）What can we learn about Churchill polar bears from the text?A . They have eaten up the seals in the Hudson Bay.B .

They supply food to locals.（4）What is the main reason why tourists go to Churchill now?A . To say good-bye to Churchill Bears.B . To help polar bears become happier.C . To take photos with Churchill Bears.D . To stop polar bears going to the town.4. 阅读理解Earlier research had suggested we’re best atlearning grammar in early childhood. Then we hit a dead end around age 5. It’ssupposed to be much harder for older kids. The time when people can learn therules and structure of a language well appears to last until around age 17 or18. “But that’s not so, “says psychologist Joshua Hartshorne.Hartshorne asked friends to take an onlineEnglish grammar test. After completing the test, volunteers answered questionsabout where they had lived, the languages they had spoken from birth and theage at which they first started learning English. Hartshorne also asked howlong they had lived in an English-speaking country. As he had hoped, peopleshared the test widely online. This let Hartshorne’s group study the answersfrom 669, 498 native and non-native speakers of English. The researchers usedstatistics to find out when people with different English-speaking experiencesreached their top grammar ability.If people moved to a new country and began speakingEnglish by age 10to 12, they finally spoke it as well as folks who had learnedboth English and another language from birth. But both groups scored a littleworse than people who spoke English only, the researchers found. The testresults showed that around age 17, people’s ability to learn grammar took asharp drop. And those who started learning English after age 10 or 12 neverreached the same level of English skillfulness as people who started younger.Why?The researchers think it’sbecause th ey had fewer years to practice before their skills dropped off atsurprise：Language learning did notend at 17. People’s English skills kept improving a little until around age 30,the new study found. And this was true among both native speakers and those wholearned English as a second language. Still, most language learning happened byage 20, the new study decided.（1）What age period is best for grammar learning according to earlier research?A . From 17 to 20.B . From 5 to 12.C . Before age 5.D . From 20 to 30.（2）How did Hartshorne get his study statistics?A . By experimenting in the lab.B . By making an online survey.C . By studying historical records.D . By collecting earlier study results.（3）Which of the following agrees with Hartshorne’s study results?A . Language learning needs much practice.B . Language learning ends at the age of 17.C . The more languages you learn, the better.D . It is best to learn language after 20 years old.（4）What is the best title for the text?A . How native speakers learn English?B . What’s the best age to learn a language?C . What’s the best way to learn a foreign language?D . Why non-native speakers can never master a second language?二、任务型阅读5. 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Teenagers agree that itteaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managingtheir money.Some research has shownthat not taking part-time job could bedetrimentalto a person later on. A 2015 study by the UK Commission on Employment andSkills found that not taking part-time work at school age had been blamed byemployers’ organizations for young adults being ill-prepared for full-timeemployment. However, recent studies have still shown that the number ofschoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the pastfive years.So, does this mean that British teenagers arenow more afraid of hard work?Probably not. Young people feel that going out to work will affect theirperformance at school, and they are under more pressure now to study hard andget good exam results — and a good job in the long term. However, Geoff Barton,general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, told BBCNews that ‘‘Properly regulated part-time work is a good way of helping youngpeople learn skills that they will need in their working lives.’’ In reality,it’s all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work andhaving enough time to study and rest.（1）Which is the advantage of having part-time jobs?A . Learning useful lessons.B . Spending money at will.C . Living independently.D . Making some money.（2）What does the underlined word ‘‘detrimental’’ probably mean?A . Careful.B . Helpful.C . Faithful.D . Harmful.（3）From the passage, in UK we know .A . hard work is not fit for teenagersB . a girl aged 10 is not allowed to workC . a fifth children have taken part-time jobsD . working benefits teens’performance at school（4）What is Geoff Barton’s opini on?A . Learning some necessary working skills.B . Keeping a balance between study and rest.C . Having as many part-time jobs as possible.D . Focusing on teenagers’ achievements at school.3. 阅读理解Who is Li Ziqi? For 7million watchers on YouTube and 20 million micro bloggers on Sina Weibo, that’san easy question to answer.

For example, inher video about spicy tofu, she starts with harvesting the soy beans, grindingthem into powder and making tofu, and then cooks it. Her works also includebuilding a homemade oven to bake bread.Like the rest of us, Li wasprobably not born with skills to create the things we see in her videos, butshe uses everything and everybody around her as a teacher. Li never attendedcollege, but she shows us how useful self-learning can be in an age of plentyof learning resources.Li lets the world see oneof the most important aspects of the Chinese people, how they live their dailylives. She lets the world know that Chinese people love good food and are goodat making art out of even simple raw materials, which have caught the hearts ofher global audience.Moreover, Li’s charmingvideos show the simple joys of country living, which she can improve by usingher head, heart and hands. While others become the product of theirenvironment, she turns her surroundings into her product. Others see problemsand feel frustrated, while Li goes and fixes them.

But to improve our linguistic skills, many of us have tostand hours of school lessons or evening classes, with our heads buried intextb ooks. It’s no wonder thattechnology appears to be providing a better andmore accessible way of learning.There is certainly a hugedemand for language learning, and having a smart phone means you can have avirtual teacher with you wherever you go. Many app developers are keen to cashin on the demand, and there are numerous learning apps available—including ourown, free, BBC Learning English app!Some educational apps offerlanguages not popular enough to be taught at evening classes, or at mostuniversitie s. And others offer “invented” language courses inEsperanto, Elvish and Star Trek’s Klingon— lessons you might not find in atraditional classroom.Whatever you want to learn,apps allow you to go at your own pace and fit learning around othercommitments. B ut they’re not perfect— you might not get your head round thegrammar and will lack the peer support you get in a classroom environment.So, does technology takethe place of the end of traditional classrooms and teachers? Guy Baron, head ofmodern languages at Aberystwyth University, thinks not. He told the BBC thatapps should be used alongside classroom methods, not to remove traditionalteaching. And he adds: “The apps are not designed for degrees, but theycould be additional resources.”Certainly technology isgoing to help in and outside the classroom. But attending a real lesson, facinga real teacher, probably forces you to be more involved.（1）Which of the following statements is true?A . Smart phones must be used in language classes.B . Everyone has to bear to stay in classrooms all day.C . Learning another language helps improve technology.D . Language learners have more chances to be employed.（2）What can you do by learning on apps?A . Studying on your own schedule.B . Learning all the popular languages.C . Becoming a master of grammar easily.D . Having many classmates to study together.（3）What can we infer from the last paragraph?A . Technology will replace teachers.B . We use technology to teach better.C . Real teachers and lessons get us more involved.D . Apps should be popularized in all different classes.（4）What is probably the best title for the passage?A . The Way to Learn with Apps.B . The Advantages of Learning with AppsC . The Choice of Apps or Classroom Learning.D . The Importance of Learning another language.二、任务型阅读（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）5. 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Most researchers may notagree with it. But this spring, experts on health discovered that for some,obesity is “an addictionlike smoking.” One month earlier, a lecture showed that food and drugaddictions have much in common, especially in the way that both damage theparts of the brain involved in pleasure and self-control.Earlier this year, somescientists carried out brain-scan studies on children who looked at pictures ofchocolate milkshakes and later ate themilkshakes. Children who are regular ice-cream eaters may require more and moreice cream for the reward centers of their brains to tellthat they are satisfied.However, meditation andexercise can help the brain to overcome food addiction.

That is the fascinating conclusion of thelatest research into fish behavior by a team of Australian scientists.The research team hasdiscovered that subordinate fish voluntarily diet toavoid challenging their larger competitors. “In studying gobies wenoticedthat only the largest two individuals, a male and female, had breeding rights within the group, “explains Marian Wong. “Allother group members are non-breeding females, each being 5–10% smaller than itsnext largest competitor. We wanted to find out how they keep this sizeseparation.”The reason for the sizedifference was easy to see. Once a subordinate fish grows to within 5–10% ofthe size of its larger competitor, it causes a fight which usually ends in thesmaller goby being driven away from the group. More often than not, the evictedfish is then eaten up.It appeared that thesmaller fish were keeping themselves small in order to avoid challenging theboss fish. Whether they did so voluntarily，by limiting how much theyate, was not clear. The research team decided to do an experiment. They triedto fatten up some of the subordinate gobies to see what happened. To theirsurprise, the gobies simply refusedthe extra food they were offered, clearly preferring toremain small and avoid fights, over having a feast.The discovery challengesthe traditional scientific view of how boss individuals keep their position ina group. Previously it was thought that large individuals simply used theirweight and size to threaten their subordinates and take more of the food forthemselves, so keeping their competitors small.While the habits ofgobies may seem a little mysterious, Dr. Wong explains that understanding therelationships between boss and subordinate animals is important tounderstanding how hierarchical societies remain stable.The research has provedthe fact that voluntary dieting is a habit far from exclusive to humans. “A s yet, we lack a complete understanding ofhowwidespread the voluntary reduction of food intake is in nature,” theresearchers comment. “Data on human dieting suggests that, while humansgenerally diet to improve health or increase attractiveness, rarely does itimprove long term health and males regularly prefer females that are fatterthan the females’ own ideal.”（1）When a goby grows to within 5–10% of the size of its larger competitor, it_______.A . faces dangerB . has breeding rightsC . eats its competitorD . leaves the group itself（2）The underlined words “the evicted fish” in Paragraph 3 refer to _______.A . the fish beaten upB . the fish found outC . the fish fattened upD . the fish driven away（3）The experiment showed that the smaller fish_______.A . fought over a feastB . went on diet willinglyC . preferred some extra foodD . challenged the boss fish（4）What is the text mainly about?A .

Startingnext year, any guaranteed bonus of top executives could be delayed 10 years iftheir banks are under investigation for wrongdoing.The main purpose of this “clawback”rul e is to hold bankers responsible for harmful risk-taking and to restorepublic trust in financial institution. Yet officials also hope for a muchlarger benefit: more long-term decision-making not only by banks but also byall corporations, to build a stronger economy for future generations.“Short-termism”or the desire for quick profits, has worsened in publicly traded companies,says the Bank of England’s top economist, Andrew Haldane. He quotes a giant ofclassical economies, Alfred Marshall, in describing t his financial impatienceas acting like “Children who pick the strawberries out of their pudding toeat them at once” rather than putting them aside to be eaten last.The average time forholding a stock in both the United States and Britain, he notes, has droppedfrom seven years to seven months in recent decades. Transient investors, who demand high quarterly profits from companies, canhold back a firm’s efforts to invest in long-term research or to build upcustomer loyalty. This has been called “quarterly capitalism”.In addition, new digitaltechnologies have allowed more rapid trading of equities , quicker use ofinformation, and thus shortens attention spans in financial markets. “Thereseems to be an advantage of short-term thinking at the expense of long-terminvesting,” said Commissioner Daniel Gallagher of the US Securities andExchange Commission in speech this week.In the US, theSarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has pushed most public companies to delayperformance bonuses for senior executives by about a year,slightly helpingreduce “short-termism.” In its latest survey of CEO pay, The WallStreet Journal finds that “a substantial part” of executive pay isnow tied to performance.Much more could be done toencourage “long-termism,” such as changes in the tax code and quickerdisclosure of stock acquisitions. InFrance, shareholders who hold onto a company investment for at least two yearscan sometimes earn more voting rights in a company.Within companies, the rightcompensation design can provide motivation for executives to think beyond theirown time at the company and on behalf of all shareholders. Britain’s new ruleis a reminder to bankers that society has an interest in their performance, notjust for the short term but for the long term.（1）According to Paragraph 1, one reason for imposing the new rule is the _______.A . enhance banker’s sense of responsibilityB . help corporations achieve larger profitsC . build a new system of financial regulationD . guarantee the bonuses of top executives（2）It is argued that the influence of transient investment on public companies can be _______.A . indirectB . negativeC . favorableD . temporary（3）The US and France examples in paragraphs 5 and 6 are used to illustrate_______.A . the obstacles to pr eventing “short-termism”.B . the significance of long-term thinking.C . the approaches to promoting “long-termism”D . thepopularity of short-term thinking.（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A . Failure of Quarterly CapitalismB . Patience as a Corporate VirtueC . Decisiveness Required of Top ExecutivesD . Frustration of Risk-taking Bankers5. 阅读理解Making beers on the moon might seem like apipe dream to many, but for a group of students from the University ofCalifornia at San Diego, there is a chance to take their research beyond Earth’s surface.The Lab2Moon competition, heldby TeamIndus, is offering students the chance to secure a spot on the TeamIndusrocket this year.Taking craft beer to the nextlevel, the students want to test whether it’ s possible for yeast towork and create beer on the moon. However, they believe the experiment is notjust a creative concept for astronauts, it’ s also important for thedevelopment of drugs and yeast-containing food, like bread.“The idea started out witha few laughs among a group of friends,” said Neeki Ashari, a fifth-yearbioengineering students at UC San Diego. “We all appreciate the craftbeer. When we heard that there was an opportunity to design an experiment thatwould go up on India’ s moonlander, w e thought we could combine our hobby withthe competition by focusing on the practicality of yeast in outer space.”The preparation work for thebeer — up to the stage of adding yeast —will allbe done on Earth, and rather than separating the fermentation and carbonation stage of making beer, the team plans to combinethem.This removes the need torelease CO2 accumulated in the process, which may result in cleanliness andsafety issues out in space.If selected, Team OriginalGravity will be the first to make beer in outer space, and the fermentationwill take place in a container no bigger than a soda can.All teams competing for theplace will showcase their ideas in Bangalore, India, in March.Sadly, you won’ t be enjoyingmoon beer in your local craft beer bar anytime soon, as no samples will bebrought back. However, this small experiment could provide important data onjust how practical it is for us to make and create our own resources on otherplanets and moons by learning how consumables behave in differentenvironments.（1）How did the students feel when they got the chance to design the experiment ?A . Excited.B . Nervous.C . Confident.D . Casual.（2）What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 6 refer to?A . The mixing of two stages.B . Adding yeast on Earth.C . The preparation work on Earth.D . Fermentation and carbonation.（3）What can we learn about the experiment from the passage?A . It has been designed based on similar experiments.B . It’ s quite competitive compared with other designs.C . It’ s design has al ready been approved by TeamIndus.D . Its process was adapted to make it safer and greener.（4）What does the author think of the students ‘ idea?A . It seems like a pipe dream.B . It’ s extremely complicated.C .

AEve was waiting in the corridor outside her class. She was feeling sick. She had two exams that day and physics was first. She really hated physics. It was her worst subject.

The purpose of this passage is to _______.A. make an advertisement for the museum B. encourage adults to bring their children thereC. show what is on display in the museum D. attract people to explore the universeCFashion refers to the styles of dress that are currently popular. Fashion goes beyond just clothes, though. It’s important for some people to wear only the latest fashions and styles. For others, though, keeping up with trends (潮流) isn’t that important. The one thing that stays the same with fashion is this: it always changes!In the 1960s and 1970s, hippies made bell-bottomed blue jeans popular. In the 1980s, Michael Jackson made parachute pants all the fashion. Now try to find these items in today’s clothing stores!Why do fashions change? The answer is probably as12345678910下一页simple as the fact that people change. Over time, the new replaces the old. People are influenced greatly by popular culture, including athletes, musicians, movie stars, as well as popular films, televisions shows, books and music. We are also influenced by the fashion industry’s advertising.The stars of popular culture are always searching for a new angle to maintain (保持)their popularity. Often these new angles come in the form of new clothing or hairstyles. When people see these new styles, they often want to imita tetheir favorite stars. To do so, they seek out the latest fashions to make themselves look like the people they want to imitate. In this way, fashions evolve and change over time.For years, clothes have been used to separate people into groups. Even today, brand-name clothing that is more expensivethan other types of clothing can be used by some people to distinguish themselves from others. Unfortunately, this can often have the effect of distancing certain groups from others.Don’t forget that it’s always OK to develop your own sense of style that is unique and separate from what the fashion world determines! Stay true to yourself and let your personality ―not your clothes ― speak for who you are.28. The examples of be ll-bottomedblue jeans and parachute pants in Paragraph 3 are used to show that _______.A. people often have different dressing stylesB. trends of fashion are changingall the timeC. people are always affected greatly by the starsD. hippies and Michael Jackson are good designers29. Fashion change mainly because _______.A. new films and shows replace the old B. movie stars are changing over timeC. popular culture influences people D. advertisements change rapidly30. We can learn from the text that _______.A. clothes may separate and distance peopleB. people like imitating others’ dressing styleC. the author has clearly goneout of fashionD. fashion is all about clothes people wear31. In the last paragraph, t12345678910下一页he author mainly wants to stress _______.A. the advantages of staying unique and separateB. the bad effects of following fashions and stylesC. the good benefits of popular styles to peopleD. the importance of having one’s own personalityDDarek Fidyka, a 38-year-old Bulgarian, had been paralyzed (瘫痪的) from the chest down for four years after a knife attack. Scientists from Britain and Poland took c ells from his nose, transplanted (移植) them into his back and re-grew his spinal cord (脊髓). Now he can walk and even drive a car. The doctors were delighted but said it was the first step in a long journey.The breakthrough came after 40 years of research by Professor Geoff Raisman, who found that cells had the possibility to repair damage to nasal (鼻腔的) nerves, the only part of the nervous system that constantly re-grows. “The idea was to take something from an area where the nervous system can repair itself and put it into an area that doesn’t repair itself,” Professor Raisman said.Polish doctors injected (注射) the nasal cells into Mr Fidyka’s spinal cord above the injury and used some nerves from his ankle to form a bridge across the damaged tissue. The nasal cells appear to have caused the spinal nerves to repair themselves.Professor Raisman achieved this with ratsin the late 1990’s, but this is his greatest success. “I think the moment of discovery for me was Christmas in 1997 when I first saw a rat, which couldn’t control its hand, put its hand out to me. That was an exciting moment, because I realized then that my belief that the nervous system could be repaired was true.”Doctors chose the easiest case for their first attempt―it might not work for others. But there is a real sense of hope that an idea once thought impossible has been realized.David Nicholls, who helped provide money for the breakthrough, said information about the breakthrough would be made available to researchers across the globe.“What you’ve got to understand is that for three m12345678910下一页illion paralyzed people in the world today, the world looks a totallybr ighter place than it did yesterday,” he said.32. Why did Professor Geoff Raisman choose cells from the nose?A. The nervous system in the nose canrepair itself.B. Cells from the nose can be easily transplanted.C. The nervous system in the nose has more cells.D. Cells in the nose are able to re-produce rapidly.33. How did the operation work for Darek Fidyka?A. The nervous systemin the spinal nerves can repair itself.B. The nerves from his ankle cured the patient of the injury.C. The nasal cells re-produced and spread over very quickly.D. The nasal cells helped the spinal nerves to repair themselves.34. What made Professor Geoff Raisman begin to believe the nervous system can be repaired?A. His former study with other people. B. His operation on aparalyzed patient.C. His sudden thought about Christmas. D. His unusual experience with a sick rat.35. David Nicholls’ words suggest that _______.A. the world will become a better and brighter placeB. paralyzed people of today have the hope of recoveryC. the report of the breakthrough will be published soonD. researchers across the world will carry out the operation第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Drinking tea dates as far back as 3,000 BC in China, yet it made its first appearance in England in the mid 17th century.Afternoon tea was introduced in the country by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, in the year 1840. The Duchess would become hungry around four o’clock in the afternoon. The evening meal in her family was usually served late at eight o’clock, thus leaving a long period of time between lunch and dinner. The Duchess asked that a tray（盘）of tea, bread and butter and cakes should be brought to her room during the late afternoon. This became a habit of hers and she began inviting friends to join her.Traditional afternoon tea is made up of a choice of nice sandwiches, scones served with cream and jam. Cakes and pastries are also served. Tea grown in India or Ceylon is poured（倾倒）from silver teapots into bone china cups.Nowadays, however, in the average suburban home, afternoon tea is likely to be just a biscuit or small cake and a cup of tea, usually produced using a teabag.For those hoping to try an afternoon tea, there are many tea rooms upand down the country. The UK has a variety of holiday destinations, and whether you choose a stay in the villages of Yorkshire or the coastal resorts of the south, afternoon tea is never far away.（1）When did tea first appear in England?A . In 3,000 BC .B . In 1840.C . In the mid 17th century.D . In the seventh century.（2）The Duchess wanted a ray of tea, bread and butter and cakes in the late afternoon because ________.A . she became hungry.B . she invited her friends.C . she got into a bad habit.D . she introduced afternoon tea.（3）What do people use while making afternoon tea at present?A . Teabags.B . Silver teapots.C . Average cups.D . Bone china cups.3. 阅读理解（I）It was a surprising announcement: SpaceX, a private company（私人公司）, said it would fly two people to the moon next year . This has not been attempted since NASA’s Apollo moon landings about 45 years ago. In the news conference, Elon Musk. SpaceX founder said two people have already pai d SpaceX a “wonderful” amount of money to send them on a weeklong flight just beyond the moon.（II）Exercise reduces the risks of dying from all causes, including cancer and heart disease. But many people who work all week have little time for exercise. They try to take exercise or do chores to increase their heart rates over the weekend. A new study suggests that it is healthy to do that, which canreduce their risk of cancer and cardiovascular（心血管疾病）disease.（III）Scientists in London have found a possible way to solve the problem of plastic bottle waste. They have made a water bottle you can eat. The product is called Ooho, made of seaweed, a plant that grows in the ocean. Oohos are tasteless and look like bubbles or balls. They can hold water or any other liquid （液体）inside. When people drink Oohos, the outside bursts in the mouth and can be eaten. Even if you throw it away, it will degrade in about four weeks. It is good for the environment.（1）From the first piece of news, we can know that ________.A . E lon Musk is the leader of the news conferenceB .

Yes, you do. ________Here are three protective body parts and how they work.SkinYour skin might not feel much like the outside of an armoured tank, but it really gives you a lot of protection. ________Skin also protects our bones, muscles and insides by covering them up. Our skin may not be that tough when we touch it, but it can be very tough when it counts. ________The skin may get scraped（擦伤）and become bruised（青肿的）, but it helps to keep our bones safe so that the y don’t break easily.Eyelashes（眼睫毛）and EyelidsThe little soft eyelashes attached to our eyelids are constantly working to blink（眨眼）away dust that would hurt our eyes. Our eyelashes and eyelids use reflex actions to close when danger comes near. Actually if we had to tell our eyelids to close, we could not do it fast enough to offer any real protection for our eyes. When our eyes and brain notice something that might be dangerous, they use lightening fast reflexes to close.________.Hair________This is a kind of body amour that is very useful, since the sun shines down on our heads all day. Without this covering of hair it would be easy for us to get sunburnt on the top of our heads. We lose about 50 individual hairs from our scalp every day. But most of us have lots of new ones that are replacing them.A. Think about what happens when we fall.B. This protection keeps our eyes safe and sound.C. But you might not know how the armour works.D. Some of your personal armour might affect you.E. The hair on our heads protects our soft scalps（头皮）.F. By closing eyes, your eyelashes block out light closer to you.G. Our skin is the biggest organ in our entire body and it helps to keep us safe.三、完形填空5. 完形填空I believe in the power of hugging. It’s a quiet but 1moment we share when we hug. It’s the 2that flows from my heart to yours when I want to say something but 3just won’t do sometimes. Hugging is the power we possess when we put our arms 4someone. It can change 5, making a patient a person, a familiar person a friend.My grandmother taught me about hugging, whenever she 6me in her strong, loving Irish arms. She always hugged seriously even when her back had become 7and her strength had weakened. My mother hugs my children the same way——heart open and arms 8, breathing them into her soul.Once I became aware of its 9, I started experimenting: I held my mother-in-law then moved onto my sisters-in-law, aunts and cousins. I tried it with a friend who had 10my life with laughter, but I was too 11to tell her, and acquaintances（熟人）that I wanted to be friends with. Some were confused, 12others accepted. But all had one thing 13, that is, the next time I hugged them, they 14me back.For me, hugging has become 15a physical interaction. It has become a way of thinking, the answer to life’s 16and tough choices. I’ve oftenwondered how 17my life would have been if I hadn’t learned the power of hugging!

Deforestation speeds up climate change, which is worsening droughts in the Horn of Africa, including Kenya, where rains have failed for five seasons in a row. So the government has set aside more than $ 80 million this year, managing to augment tree coverage to more than 10%.“It is a moment for Kenyans to stand together in the defense of our environment,” said Soipan Tuya, the Environment Minister. He referred to the day as “a ‘hummingbird(s)’ contribution day”. Hummingbirds are small birds, but they play an important part in the environment by pollinating(授粉)flowers.He added, “H aving been planting trees for most of my life, I thought I was doing ratherwell, but the government’s plan to plant 15 billion trees by 2032 was ‘an unprecedented(史无前例的)show of promise by the government towards our climate action duties.’”8．What is the purpose of the public holiday?A．To increase economic income.

D．It is time to protect hummingbirds. 11．What is the best title for the text?A．Kenya Is Taking Action to Protect WildlifeB．Kenya Is in Face of Environmental ProblemsC．Kenya Improves Relationships with Their NeighborsD．Kenya Surprises the Public with a Holiday to Plant TreesDAre you a fan of birds? If so, you may have admired their beautiful colors and sweet songs. But do you know these feathered friends can actually do more than that?A new study published in the journal Scientific Reports finds that exposure to birds, either in the home or outdoors, can boost people’s moods.Researchers at King’s College London used a smartphone app built by the school’s Urban Mind project to collect the real-time feelings of study participants upon seeing or hearing a bird. A total of 1,292 people living in the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States participated in the study which was conducted between April 2018 and October 2021.The app asked participants three times a day whether they could see or hear a bird followed by a series of questions on their mental well-being. Participants were also asked questions about whether they could see trees, plants or hear any water to see if people were experiencing better mental well-being due to being in or seeing nature, and not just because of exposure to birds.According to the study, the mental well-being of study participants with and without depression was significantly improved after seeing a bird or hearing birdsong compared to not seeing or hearing a bird.There is a growing number of studies that link spending time outdoors (either in green leafy places or next to bodies of water) to improved mental health. But there are few studies that look at how different aspects of nature can play into humans’ me ntal well-being.And while the study adds to the small pile of research on birds and mental health, the report marks the first time researchers have studied the responses to birds and mental well-being in real-time, according to Ryan Hammoud, lead author of the study.“They kind of examine nature as a single object when nature includes many different characteristics and features like trees, plants, water, birds,” said Hammoud, “We choose to focus on bird life to try and understand which specific characteristics of nature benefit mental well-being.”12．What is the purpose of paragraph 1?A．To introduce a phenomenon. B．To bring in the topic.C．To ask an interesting question. D．To provide background information. 13．How did the researchers conduct the study?A．By analyzing previous studies. B．By observing the behavior of birds.C．By gathering feelings of participants. D．By studying people’s effect on birds. 14．What does Hammoud think of the new study?A．Pioneering. B．Interesting. C．Conventional. D．Practical. 15．What is the main idea of the text?A．Bird watching has become a popular hobby.B．Exposure to birds can improve mental well-being.C．Nature is the best medicine for mental health issues.D．Spending time outdoors can impact mental health positively.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

I feelthere are a number of reasons for this.Somepeople blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fattyfoods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. Thishas turned outa whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If therewere fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy lesstake-away food.There isanother argument that blames parents for allowing their children to becomeoverweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life,long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are givenfried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed tochoose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, andthis will carry on throughout their lives.There is athird reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise.They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of thetelevision or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthypastime （消遣）, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthyfood. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.The aboveare the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage youngpeople to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast foodshops and bad eating habits.（1）According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?A . Those who often do sports.B . Those who often walk to school.C . Those who often watch television.D . Those who often have meals at home （2）What does the underlined word “steering” in the last sentence most probably means?A . MovingB . Forcing.C . DrivingD . Guiding.（3）The main purpose of the text is to ____.A . tell a storyB . provide factsC . give adviceD . compare opinions3. 阅读理解One of the most famous buildings in theUnited States is Carnegie Hall, the home of classical and popular musicconcerts in New York.
