Well, that is what the students in Class Afloat do.Class Afloat is a Canadian school on a tall ship! The ship is sixty-four metres long and nine metres wide and it can take up to sixty students. The classrooms are well-equipped(设备精良)and comfortable and there's even a library! There is no need to know anything about sailing-students can learn on the ship.Not all the students are Canadian-there's usually a mix of nationalities(国籍).This year, there are also students from Mexico, the USA, Germany and Turkey. There's a mix of ages too. There are secondary school students-first year university students and students who are doing a gap year(休学年)programme.The teachers design special study programmes for each student. Because the school is a ship, you can do some exciting courses-for example, Marine Biology(studying the animals and plants in the sea) and History or Geography courses about the places you visit. Students also learn all about sailing! All the classes are in English, so you must have a good level of English.Students don't just study. They must also clean, cook and sail the ship, in their free time, students can rest, read or watch a film. In the evenings, they relax with friends, have club meetings and sometimes they have a karaoke night.Every sixteen to twenty days, the ship stops in a port for three to six days. In port there're lots to do-home stays, camping trips, museum tours, cultural events, hiking, etc. They also go snorkeling and do other water sports. Parents can meet up with the students in one port every term. Students also take part in two volunteer programmes in Senegal(塞内加尔)and the Dominican Republic(多明尼加共和国). They help local families in different ways, for example, with basic health matters or starting a business. Students learn how, with just a little money and time, they can make changes that improve other people's lives.31. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Students don't have to know how to sail before they join the ship.B. Besides studying, students also have to do jobs on the ship.C. Students have to speak English well in order to have classes on the ship.D. Students don't usually meet any local people when they stop in ports.32. What is snorkeling?A. It is an activity of hiking through the forest.B. It is an activity of swimming underwater.C. It is an activity of playing games in a tent.D. It is an activity of riding horses.33. The passage is mainly about ______ .A. special courses on a shipB. sailing around the worldC. a school on a sailing shipD. learning to sail a tall shipDDetective fiction is popular in many countries. There are two kinds: stories in which private detectives solve a crime, usually a murder; and stories in which a police detective solve a crime.Both kinds of detective story are equally popular.The first private detective---PI for private investigator in the USA---was probably Arson Lupin, a Frenchman. However, stories about this detective are not read nowadays. For most people the first, and perhaps the greatest, private detective, was the Englishman, Sherlock Holmes, a character created by the author Sir Author Conan Doyle. All the Sherlock Holmes stories have been translated into most languages. The best known is the Hound of the Baskervilles.The first police detective was probably Sergeant Cuff who solves the crime in the Moonstone, one of the first detective novels in English. The author, Wilkie Collins, was a close friend of Charles Dickens, the best English novelists of all the time.Crime fiction has been as popular in the USA as in the UK, and some of the most famous American writers have written detective fiction. The most highly regarded is probably Raymond Chandler whose PI, Phillip Marlowe, is the archetype(典型的) private detective. Also popular, although not so well-written, are the Perry Mason novels by Erle Stanley Gardner.After Conan Doyle, the most widely read private detective novelist is the English novelist Agatha Christie. She created two unforgettable characters--- Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot. Agatha Christie’s have also been translated into most languages.Detective fiction is as popular today as it has ever been, probably because many novels have been adapted for television which introduced them to many people who do not usually read new detective crime fiction.34. Which of the following is a detective story writer?A. Hercule PoirotB. Perry MasonC. Erle Stanley GardenerD. Sergeant Cuff35. What happened to many detective stories?A. They have been long forgotten.B. They have been translated into English.C. Nowadays they are the least popular readings.D. They have been popular because of TV programmes.36. What have Arthur Conan Doyle, Raymond Chandler and Agatha Christie in common?A. They all wrote stories about English detectives.B. They all wrote stories about private detectives.C. They all wrote stories about police detectives.D. They all wrote stories about American detectives.37. Which of the following does the writer imply(暗示)?A. Wilkie Collins lived at the same time as Charles Dickens.B. Arson Lupin is a popular character on television nowadays.C. Private detective stories are better reviewed than police detective stories.D. A successful writer of detective stories has to write private detective stories.四、词汇运用(每小题1分, 满分8分)(A) 根据句意和汉语注释, 写出单词的正确形式。

The achievement of Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew.D. The sincere wish of a good future for the nation.29. Why were the Gardens by the Bay built？______A. To create shadows.B.

When packaging keeps food safe and fresh for a longer time，less waste happens.Making food last longer is not easy because different foods need different packaging.Fats，for example，change when meeting air and light.That's why fatty foods，like potato chips，are always kept in packages which light can't get through.And cookies are afraid of getting wet.Keeping those snacks in a fully closed package will help them stay fresh and tasty longer.Packaging can extend shelf life by keeping out gases in the air，like oxygen.Oxygen causes problems for many different foods.So many food packages are designed to solve the air problem.Vacuum-Sealed packaging takes off any oxygen between the food and packaging，which can increase shelf life from a few days to a few weeks.Modified atmosphere packaging is another solution.Unlike vacuum-Sealed packaging，which takes off as much air as possible，this packaging replaces the air with a right mixture of gases.Red meat needs some oxygen to keep its colour，but too much oxygen can make it go bad.This kind of packaging can extend shelf life while keeping the product's colour.While packaging can help reduce food waste，people also need to consider the environmental influence ofthe packaging itself.Scientists are working to develop more proper materials.And more people get to know the importance of reducing food waste. "Unlike many of the challenges we face right now on our planet，" said Shukla from Food &；Wine magazine，"Food waste is something that every single person can do something about."31. People work on food packaging to make food ______ .A. produce more energyB. produce less harmful gasC. be kept for a longer timeD. be away from air pollution32. In Paragraph 3，the writer mentioned potato chips and cookies to ______ .A. explain food must be kept without lightB. explain packaging depends on the food typeC. show wasted food is bad for the environmentD. show food goes bad quickly when getting wet33. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage______A. How to Package FoodB. Creative Packaging DesignsC. Food Waste：Causes and SolutionsD. Packaging：A Way to Fight Food WasteSCassy made a plan for her and Emmeline.No one wanted to go to the attic（阁楼）in Legree's house because everyone thought it was full of ghosts and Legree was afraid of ghosts.Cassy's room was under it.One day，Cassy moved all her furniture to a room very far from it.When Legree asked why，she replied，"I can't sleep.There were noises in the attic，every night，from midnight until the morning.""Noises in the attic？"said Legree，worried，"Who is up there？""I don't know，"said Cassy and she went to her room.Then she put things in the attic that made strange noises when the wind blew.The slaves heard them and started talking about ghosts.Legree became scared of passing near the stairs to the attic.Then one night Cassy and Emmeline ran away.They stayed near the house and waited.When Legree left to look for them with his slaves and dogs，Cassy and Emmeline went into the attic.Legree was angry when he came back and he was sure that Tom knew something."Tom，"said Legree，"tell me where those two are，or I will kill you.Speak!""I have nothing to say，"said Tom."Are you telling me that you don't know？""I know，Master，but I can't tell you."Legree hit Tom and kicked him again and again，until he thought Tom was dead.Then he left.But Tom was not dead.Cassy and Emmeline stayed in the attic for days，until Legree stopped looking for them.Then one night they escaped again and nobody followed them.They were free.Two days later，a young man arrived.He was George Shelby.When he received the letter from Miss Ophelia，he went looking for Tom to buy him back，but it took a long time to find him.Legree took George to see Tom.Tom was lying on the floor，waiting to die.When George saw him，he felt sick. "Uncle Tom，my poor，poor friend!"Tom opened his eyes."Master George!You remembered me!It's going well，"said Tom and then he closed his eyes forever.When George turned，Legree was standing behind him."Who cares about a dead slave!"said Legree.George hit Legree so hard that he fell to the ground.Then_______.---Taken from Uncle Tom's Cabin34.

Respect natural environmentMarked hiking trails（有指示标识的游览步道）are there usually to protect the natural environment and keep wild plants safe.In beach areas，don't use products that are harmful to the seawater and try to protect the ocean's ecosystem.Support locals directlyBuying handmade products and art pieces created by local people can help hand down cultural tradition and create jobs.Food that is grown locally and things that are sold by local families are often better and cheaper，all helping keep money in local pockets.Find ways to give backConsider the ways that you can help the local community and give back while traveling.This can be as simple as picking up litter in a park or volunteering to cleanup a beach.If you're planning a trip where volunteering is your main goal，make sure you won't take jobs away from local people.(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)55. 我们应该更多地关注劳动教育，以此来使青少年的生活技能得以发展。

It was an unexpectedly challenging role, one without additional benefits, or a raise for that matter.As a direct result of starting school, there was the surprisingly unpleasant changes to our schedule (time-table). As parents, we were ill-prepared for the troubled time we had trying to get used to the practice of school.Gone were the carefree days without plans and plenty of time to kill. This included playing imaginary games indoors or hanging around outside whenever the weather turned nice. Getting to school on time meant becoming the ‘hot mess’ mum who were often seen inmovies. I was rushing kids out the door, forgetting lunch boxes and losing car keys.As a huge morning person, I tried my best to ensure that school mornings remained calm and slow-paced. I prepared as much as possible the night before. But it still felt like we were in a rush, which I really hated.The trick. I later discovered, was to cover up my feeling of anxiety. I chanted to myself “Do not rush him, no one likes to be rushed” while helping him get through his morning routine and tasks in a timely manner. Whatever frustration (沮丧) I fell about how slow he was moving, I wouldn’t let him know it. I even didn’t allow anyone in our house to say phrases like, “Hurry up, we’re going to be late!” Our common goal, was not just to get our son out the door in time for school, but more importantly prove that mornings can be relaxed and enjoyable, rather than a horrible start to the day.Of course by the time summer holiday came, our family had grown wise enough. In what felt like the ‘longest shortest time’, we went from anxious and confused, to calm and confident once again. We were far more prepared to have a smoother start to the new school year.28．What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?A．She liked her new position.B．She got a promotion at work.C．She made good preparations.D．She had to face the challenge. 29．Which word is similar in meaning to the underlined words “hot mess” in paragraph 3? A．disorganized B．busy C．confident D．hard-working 30．What is the text mainly about?A．Growth of kids.B．Experience as a school parent. C．New life in school.D．Advice on lifestyle change.Schoolchildren spend most of their time surrounded by their peers (同龄人). They spend a lot more time with classmates, teammates and fellow club members than with adults in their lives. Peer pressure can have a huge influence on the lives of children in grades two through twelve.From birth through age six, the family shapes a child’s sense of identity (个性). Parents and brothers and sisters affect a child’s likes, dislikes, tastes in clothing, food and music and, perhaps most importantly, values. Once children enter school, they form connections to the larger group of their peers. This group brings new ideas and experiences. Peer pressurehappens when a student’s actions are influenced by this group. The “pressure” happens when peers suggest or demand actions different from the child’s normal behavior and values.Peer pressure leads to some disturbing negative behavior in schoolchildren. In the USA, about 75% of high school students have tried alcohol (酒) offered by their friends in middle or high school. According to a survey, students felt pressured by their peers between 35 and 49% of the time. The power of peer pressure can result from a schoolchild’s growing desire (渴望) to fit into a group.Thankfully, peer pressure can also be positive. For example, wanting to join an athletic group of friends may force a student who has been sitting for a long time to try out for the soccer team. In a survey on peer pressure, 51% of teenagers felt that peer pressure was sometimes positive. One teenager responded, “Sometimes it can help you gain confidence.” Other examples of positive peer pressure include students encouraging a classmate to run for school president, or friends suggesting that a talented peer try out for a talent show. 31．What leads to schoolchildren’s peer pressure?A．The identity shaped by their family.B．The connections with their classmates. C．The childhood experiences with their friends.D．The differences in their behavior and values.32．Why do some schoolchildren behave negatively under peer pressure?A．To kill their boring time.B．To fit into a peer group.C．To help gain confidence.D．To improve social skills.33．What does the author think of peer pressure?A．Peer pressure does more harm than good.B．Peer pressure is very good for schoolchildren’s growth.C．Peer pressure is not necessarily bad for school children.D．Peer pressure plays an important role in shaping a child’s values.When Oliver arrived in this hard world, it was very doubtful whether he would live beyond the first three minutes. He lay on a hard little bed and struggled to start breathing.Oliver fought his first battle without much help from the two people present at his birth. One was an old woman, who was nearly always drunk, and the other was a busy local doctor, who was not paid enough to be very interested in Oliver’s survive.However, Oliver managed to draw his first breath, and then announced his arrival bycrying loudly. His mother raised her pale young face and whispered, “let me see it.”The doctor turned away from the fire, where he had been warming his hands. He gave her the child. Lovingly, she kissed the baby with her cold white lips, then stared wildly around the room, fell back—and died.The doctor began to put on his coat. “The mother was a good-looking girl. Where did she come from?”“She was brought here last night,” replied the old woman. “She was found lying in the street. Where she came from, or what her name was, nobody knows.”The doctor lifted the girl’s left hand. “The old story,” he shook his head. “No wedding ring, I see. Ah! Good night.”And so Oliver was left with only the drunken nurse. He was then sent to a special “baby farm” nearby. There, he and thirty other children rolled (翻滚) around the floor all day, without the inconvenience of too much food or too much clothing. Mrs. Mann, who “looked after” them, was very experienced. She knew what was good for children. She also knew what was good for herself. The board (董事会) responsible for the orphans (孤儿) sometimes checked on the health of the children, but they always sent Mr. Bumble, a kind local policeman, to announce their visit the day before. So whenever the board arrived, of course, the children were always neat and clean.On Oliver’s ninth birthday, Mr. Bumble came to see Mrs. Mann. Through the front window, Mrs. Mann saw him at the gate, and turned quickly to the girl who worked with her.“Quick! Take Oliver and those others upstairs to be washed!” she said. Then she ran out to unlock the gate which was always kept locked.34．What was the weather like when Oliver was born?A．Warm.B．Cool.C．Cold.D．Hot. 35．According to the passage, the gate of the baby farm was always kept locked in order to ________.A．protect the children inside from dangers outsideB．prevent officers walking in unexpectedlyC．keep the children inside working all the timeD．make sure the children were always neat and clean36．What does the underlined sentence “without the inconvenience of too much food or too much clothing” probably mean according to the passage?A．Oliver and other children had enough food and clothing.B．Oliver and other children didn’t have enough food or clothing.C．Oliver and other children had no food or clothing at all.D．Oliver and other children had a very good time in the baby farm.37．Which is the right order according to the passage?a. Oliver was sent to a special “baby farm” nearby.b. Mrs. Mann ran out to unlock the gate.c. Oliver lay on a hard little bed and struggled to start breathing.d. Mr. Bumble came to see Mrs. Mann on Oliver’s ninth birthday.e. Oliver’s mother kissed the baby with her cold white lips.A．c-a-d-b-e B．e-c-b-d-a C．c-e-a-d-b D．e-b-d-a-c四、根据汉语提示填空38．Internet Marketing can satisfy any ________ (消费者) needs.39．Pay no attention to those who look down upon you. What ________ (要紧) most is how you see yourself.40．It’ll take about two days to finish the project if everything goes____________（顺利地）. 41．Through hard work and practice, the ________ (不出名的) basketball player has grown up to a world—famous superstar.五、用所给单词的正确形式填空42．Tom prefers ________ (west) to romantic films because they tells the life of cowboys. 43．As the old saying goes, the harder you work, the ________ (wealth) you will be.44．I bet you have zero thoughts focused on worrying about the future or ________ (regret) the past.45．Such problems between the two countries should be dealt with ________ (peaceful). 46．—Isn’t it time for you to go to bed, Mike?—I _________ (paint) all the afternoon, so I have to finish my homework now.47．The newspaper says that the price of meat ________ (fall) a lot in the last few weeks. 48．James _________ (lay) his hand on my shoulder and I put mine around his at the sametime.49．—I really find it difficult to choose one between the two types.—Don’t worry, madam. Both are made of silk and ________ (wash) easily.50．Not only the UK itself but also other European countries _________ (care) a lot about the new Era of Brexit (脱欧新时代) these days.51．Earthquake last month in Turkey was a real disaster, ________ (leave) thousands of people homeless.52．Since I have spent so much time playing computer games, I would rather work harder than before ________ (pass) the exam.53．Peter promised that he ________ (share) something interesting with me as soon as he finished reading the book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.六、阅读填表When students get bored with the boring classes in the classroom, the practical classes in the lab help them relax. There, students can get hands-on experience about the lessons they have learned. High school students are allowed to do the basic experiments (实验) of different subjects of science, mainly physics, chemistry and biology. However, lab safety matters. Lab safety rules are mainly about personal safety and proper ways to use instruments to avoid accidents inside the lab.Middle school is the first chance for students to work in a science lab. Lab experiments are carried out with great care. And the students are always told to follow the instructions to make sure of lab safety. Firstly, you must be careful of your personal safety. While doing experiments, you should be dressed in protective things, like gloves, safety glasses and caps. Since you are dealing with the instruments or the chemicals for the first time, you might be curious to try something new. But such activities often lead to lab dangers. So, avoid any kind of carelessness.There are different types of instruments inside a science lab. Physics labs are filled withdifferent electrical instruments, which need safe using steps. So you need to do the experiments under the supervision (监督) of your teachers until you are good at them. Don’t mix the chemicals as you like. It might cause danger. Also you should always keep a biology lab clean to avoid pollution.You are new to the lab and it is your duty to learn about the lab completely. You should learn about the correct using steps of expensive instruments. Turn off the gas as soon as you finish your experiments. You also should learn about where the fire extinguisher is and the working of fire safety instruments.Lab safety rules for school students七、完成句子59．未经允许，请勿将这些杂志带出图书馆。

Almost everyone knows the story of Cinderella ﹣ a servant （仆人） girl who wears a glass slipper （玻璃鞋） and wins the heart of a prince． Disney has remade the classic fairy tale into a new movie．We are first introduced to a beautiful girl named Ella．（1）________ Ella then welcomes her stepmother （继母） and her daughters． But when Ella's father unexpectedly dies too，she finds herself living with a horrible new family． Her stepmother and stepsisters make her into a servant girl． They even rename her Cinderella because she is often covered in cinders （煤灰） because of sleeping by the fireplace．Most people might become disappointed （沮丧的） and angry in such a situation． But Ella doesn't．She tells herself to stay strong and be kind．One day， Ella meets a charming stranger in the woods． She doesn't know he is a prince．Soon an invitation to a palace ball comes． Ella might see the young man again．（2）________ As in all good fairy tales， a beggar （乞丐） appears． She uses her magic to help Ella and changes her life forever．Kenneth Branagh， director of the movie， believes people love Cinderella because they connect with the story on a deep level．"Cinderella is certainly placed in a hard situation， but she chooses not to be the girl in distress （痛苦） and we see her make strong， positive choices in that situation，" he told Glamour magazine． " （3）________"A． She is the master of her own destiny （命运）．B． However， her stepmother won't let her go．C． Whatever she wishes， she will see her dream come true．D． Her mother dies and her father remarries．17. It is two in the morning． The wind is getting stronger and there is a chance that it will rain． Though the weather is bad, Al Gehrke sits 110 floors above the ground, 442 meters above the earth． You may be wondering what he is doing so far off the ground． If you asked him, he would say, "________Al Gehrke has a very special job that not many people would want to have． He manages one of the tallest buildings in the world ﹣ the Wills Tower in Chicago． His team washes and changes the windows． The Wills Tower has 16, 000 windows and each window weighs over 90 kilos． Gehrke and his team work from seven in the evening until four in the morning． They clean 18 windows each night． Each window takes almost 30 minutes． Al Gehrke is not afraid of high places and he is a good man for the job．Mary Ann also has an unusual job． Instead of hanging high above the earth washing windows, she works under the water． She trains dolphins for shows and also helps people to swim with the dolphins． She loves the dolphins． "We never tell a dolphin what to do． We ask them respectfully． They decide to do that for us because of the relationship we have, " she said．Besides washing windows high above the earth or swimming with big fish under the water, there are other unusual jobs that you have probably never thought of people having． Here is another strange example: karaoke singers! A karaoke singer is someone who sings the songs of famous singers． The singer is able to follow the words of the songs because they appear on a computer in front of them． In Cyprus, karaoke singers are very popular． They sing to the people on holiday． As the visitors travel around the island they can listen to the music of the karaoke singers．（1）By saying "________" in Paragraph 1， Al Gehrke is most likely to tell us________．A his job is difficult to doB he is brave and strongC he can make muchmoney D his job is nothing special．（2）According to the third paragraph， Mary Ann________．A considers herself unusualB teaches people how to swimC has a great love for dolphinsD works long hours every day．（3）The writer is trying to introduce some unusual jobs by________．A holding some activitiesB offering some examplesC comparing severalones D telling some funny stories．18. Every year in Bath, England, there is a special festival． People dress up in period clothes and have concerts and balls． They are celebrating the Jane AustenFestival．Jane Austen is an English writer． Born in Steventon, England, 1775, Austen was mostly educated at home, where she teamed how to play the piano, draw and write creatively． She read a lot and later came to enjoy social events such as parties, dances and balls． She disliked the busy life of towns and preferred the country life, where she took to taking long walks．In 1801, Jane, her parents and sister moved to Bath． Four years later, her father passed away and the family soon became poor． Austen and her family moved several times until finally settling（安顿）into a small house in Chawton． It was in this house that she wrote most of her works．In March of 1817, Austen got serious health problems and was sent to Winchester for a cure so she had to stop writing． She died in July of the same year, at the age of only 41．Austen was famous for her humorous words and clever ideas． Most of her novels are about women in 18th century England． At that time, if a woman wanted to have a happy life, she had to marry a rich man． But Austen said that a woman should marry for love, not for money or social status（地位）．So her characters were often strong women．Pride and Prejudice（偏见）, published in 1813, is the most famous novel by Austen． It tells of a romantic story between a young woman Elizabeth and a tall, rich, and handsomeman, Mr． Darcy． It has been changed into films, televisions and musicals（1）Which of the following is TRUE about Austen？________A She loved reading and taking long walks．B She received education incollege． C She hated parties， balls and dances． D She preferred the city life．（2）Where did Austen write most of her works？________A In a small house in Winchester．B In a small house in ChawtonC In Steventon，England．D In the countryside of Bath．．（3）What's the correct order of the following events？________a． Jane Austen， her parents and sister moved to Bath．b． Jane Austen got seriously ill and stopped writing．c． Jane Austen learned how to play the piano， draw and write creatively．d． Jane Austen wrote and published her most famous novel Pride and Prejudice．A c﹣a﹣d﹣bB a﹣c﹣b﹣dC d﹣b﹣c﹣aD c﹣a﹣b﹣d．19. In 1969, as US astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon, he famously declared, 'That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind．' And as many countries come together to celebrate World Space Week from Oct 4﹣10, it seems that there are still many leaps to take．During ancient times, our only steps were back and forth across the surface of our own planet． We climbed to the top of mountains, or sailed in boats across oceans． But wedidn't, and couldn't, leave the surface of our planet．It's not surprising that back then, the so﹣called heavens fascinated（使着迷） us so much．How could they not? How could people not be ________ with the great object in thesky that arrived each day with light and then left, taking the light with it? Or the mysterious moon, stars and planets that lit up the night sky? Compared with us, these things seemedso free and exciting． Different cultures created stories about the heavens． The Chinese referred to a 'King of the Sky' who created the heavens and decorated them with stars; the ancient Greeks had 'the Sky Gods' who controlled the weather．Few of us believe those stories anymore ﹣ science has taught us better． And yet the heavens, or what we now call 'space' and 'outer space', are still a source of mystery and fascination for us．Yes, there are space stations, satellites and trips to other planets． None of this modern science, however, has made space any less fascinating to us．As the American scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson said, 'The universe is under no obligation （义务）to make sense to you．' The more we know, the more our curiosity grows．Even today, the most popular novels and movies are set on other planets, solar systems （太阳系）or galaxies （星系）． Space is still mysterious, as it was for the ancient Chinese, Greeks and Romans． And perhaps it always will be．（1）The author used Neil Armstrong's story to________．A describe how the celebration of World Space Week beganB draw attention to great achievements in space explorationC explain why human beings are curious about outer spaceD predict（预报） future space programs that might change history．（2）The underline word 'obsessed' in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to________．A happyB interestedC satisfiedD bored．（3）Compared with modern people， ancient Greeks________．A didn't leave many records of space objectsB believed the King of the Sky controlled the weatherC shared a similar curiosity about the universeD showed little respect for the power of nature．（4）What's the article mainly about？________A Important events in space exploration history．B Human's unchangeable interest in space．C Ancient stories inspired（激发，产生） by the heavens．D What we have learned about the universe．四、词汇运用（每小题1分，满分4分）（A）根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式．20. ________（尽管） there isn't enough time for us， we'll try our best．21.

Here is some "breaking" news: the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has added breaking into the 2024 Paris Olympic Games!Breaking might be one of the very strange sports to be added to the Games, as it's often seen as more of an art form than a sport.The dance style first appeared on the streets of New York in the 1970s. In the 1980s, breaking swept around the world when it was adopted (釆用)by pop stars such as Michael Jackson. Young people worldwide were crazy about such kind of dance style.Over the past few years, there has been a talk that the Olympic Games have become less interesting to young people. The IOC is trying to make the Games more "youthful", with sports that young people do in their spare time. 66We want to take sport to the youth, "said IOC President Thomas Bach.To be added to the Olympics, a sport must be practised by men in at least 75 countries on four continents （洲）and by women in no fewer than 40 countries on three continents. Also, it should be competitive and requires training just like other sports. Dancers need to have strong upper body and core strength. "It's great that it gives us more recognition as a sport, " said British breakdancer Karam Singh.➢It became 2 among young people worl dwide inthe 1980s.Reason ➢Young people have become less 3 in the Olympics.__ 4➢It must be 5 practised around the world.➢t must be competitive and it requires training.答案：1. appear2. popular3. interested4.

It is made up of 7,506 colorful barrels 〔桶〕floatingon a lake in Hyde Park in London. Christo calls it The London Mastaba . It is his first major outdoor art sculpture inGreat Britain. The artwork is in the shape of a mastaba. It looks somewhat like a pyramid with a fat top. TheLondon Mastaba is about 65 feet high, 98 feet wide and 130 feet long, and it weighs about 1.3 million pounds. The metal barrels can be seen from hundreds of feet away.35Everyone who looks at it will see something different. Many will think the barrels are barrels of oil in the heartof one of London ' s oldest parks. They might wonder if Christo was making an announcement against pollution.Others will see a prism or giant pixels or simply a shape. However, everyone must decide for themselves, the83-year-old artist said. Christo said he had nothing special in mind when he created The London Mastaba . " Thereare no messages, " Christo said. " There is something in it to discover yourself. I cannot direct you.“ A Stairway To The Sky 〞"It ' s created a giant invitation, like a stairway to the sky, " Christo said. The artist was standingthe Serpentine Lake in Hyde Park where his artwork floats. Swans are swimming nearby. Some barrels are red with a white candy stripe on the sides. Others are colored blue, purple and red. Their colors will look different as the light changes, Christo said. Their reflection 〔倒影〕in the lake will be like an abstract painting. Abstraction is an artistic style that does not always show something recognizable or realistic."Not Really Sure How I Feel About It 〞Many people walking in the park were surprised to see the artwork. "It ' s very modern, but this pla and historical. I don ' t like it here, " said Yasmin KocOzcengel, who is a tourist from Turkey. Another person wh took a look at the artwork was Anna Andronova. She called The London Mastaba very brave. If it weren t as brave,it wouldn ' t be as amazing, she said. Sheila Seffenson is an American living in London. " I 'm ji how I feel about it, " Steffenson said. "Maybe it ' s a message about pollution. Who knows? "34. What can we learn about the artwork?A. It is a floating pyramid.B.

These blades are turned by the wind. The blades turn a generator 〔发电机〕located inside the tower, which creates power.Groups of wind turbines are known as wind farms. Wind farms can be found near farmland, in narrow mountain passes, and even in the ocean, where there are stronger winds. Wind farms create power for nearby homes, schools and other buildings.In places like the Midwest and along coasts, winds can provide cheap power. Another great advantage of wind power is that it is a clean form of energy. Wind turbines do not burn oil or coal and do not pollute the air.Wind is not always an ideal source of energy, however. Wind speed changes from time to time, depending on the time of day, weather and location. Wind turbines can be also dangerous for bats and birds. These animals cannot always tell how fast the blades are moving and crash into them.6小题,每题1分,共6分〕57 .别再改主意啦,就这么定了.Don' t again.

They eat most of the food. But bits of food stick to their teeth. People's mouths are filled with bacteria （细菌）. They eat the bits of food. The bacteria increase and build up on the teeth. And they can quickly form a coating called plaque （牙斑）.The bacteria in the plaque produce acid （酸）. More acid is created when someone eats food which has sugar or starch. Candy and cookie are sugary foods. Potato chips have starch. The acid from the bacteria goes to work on the teeth. Each tooth has a protective covering called enamel （釉质）. It's the hardest material in the body. But the acid is strong enough to eat through the enamel. This creates tooth decay （蛀蚀）.Next, the acid can work its way inside the tooth. Under the enamel is softer material calleddentine. Acid quickly eats through the dentine, creating a hole called a cavity. Then the acid can reach the pulp （髓）inside the dentine. The pulp has blood vessels （血管）that feed the tooth. It also has nerves （神经）. When the nerves get hurt, a person may feel a toothache.A dentist should fix tooth decay. Bodies can repair broken bones but not decayed teeth. That's because enamel and dentine aren't living things. Dentists clean out the decay and fill the space with strong material.But tooth decay should be prevented in the first place. People should visit the dentist twice a year. Dentists clean and examine the teeth. They can treat any tooth problems early. People should also take care of their own teeth. To remove bits of food, bacteria, and acid, people should clean them between their teeth at least once a day. They should also brush their teeth at least twice a day - even when they don't feel like it!31.The purpose of the article is to ______ .A. explain how bacteria workB. give a talk on tooth healthC. advertise for a dentist hospitalD. remind people to care about tooth health32.What does acid do？______A. It makes teeth stronger.B. It eats through tooth enamel.C. It produces bacteria in the mouth.D. It cleans the teeth and protects them.33.The title "Bacteria Cafeteria" means ______ .A. bacteria and cafeteria rhyme with each otherB. a cafeteria serves food, and you eat food thereC. your mouth is like a cafeteria where bacteria can growD. you eat in a cafeteria, and it has a lot of bacteria growing thereSMany people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don't know is that junk（垃圾）has become a problem in outer space too.According to BBC News, there are more than 22，000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes （望远镜）. There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can't see.Objects, like bits of old space rockets（火箭）or satellites（卫星），move around the planet at very high speed so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage （损害）the space tool.To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009，it broke into more than 2，000 pieces, space junk produced as a result.To reduce more and more space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth's atmosphere（大气层）after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up. Many scientists also suggest different ways to clean up space junk. In England, scientists are testing a special net（网）that can be sent into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth's atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely dealt with."The problem is becoming more challenging because we're sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers," says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space researcher."The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become," he says.34.The underlined word "these" in Paragraph 2 refers to ______ .A. telescopesB. problemsC. pieces of space junkD. BBC news reports35.The space junk is considered a problem because ______ .A. it burns up after it re-enters the atmosphereB. it often stops the view of telescopes on EarthC. it could force new space tools to travel at lower speedD. it may crash into other space tools causing damage or death36.What can we learn about junk in outer space？______A. Tiny pieces of junk at lower speed do little harm to the earth.B. Space junk may be a bigger problem if no actions are taken.C. Scientists from England and Germany have the better ways to reduce space junk.D. There's no way to clean up space junk because more objects are sent into space.37.We can infer from the passage that ______ .A. a safe space tool can stay in space for everB. rubbish as well as space junk used to be a big problemC. scientists have no trouble solving the problem of space junkD. more efforts require to be made to keep outer space safe and clean38.Our foreign teacher from Pakistan joined in the 2020 Wuxi Yangshan Half Marathon inhis ______ （四十）.39.Mahavir Singh Phogat ______ （放，搁）his hand gently on his daughter's shoulder andencouraged her to keep trying.40.There is no ______ （怀疑）that China will make greater progress in its space technologyprogramme in the near future.pared with pop stars, Qi Fabao, hero regiment commander for defending the border（卫国戍边团长），still remains ______ （未知的）to many young people.42.Human beings should be aware that they should live ______ （peace）with nature.43.What's your attitude （态度）towards the ______ （decide）which were made at themeeting yesterday？44.For ______ （far）information about this latest type of 3D printer, please visit ourwebsite at .45.Between China and the US，the most important thing is to reach an ______ （agree）andto avoid a trade war. The old habit needs to change.46.The old stone bridge ______ （lie）in the east of the town before being pulled down （拆除）by the local government.47. A long road tests a horse's strength and a long-term task ______ （prove）a man's heart.Time will tell you what a true friend is like.48.-You were out when I dropped in at your house.-Oh, I ______ （carry）out a task of guarding the vaccines（疫苗）from China at the airport.49.-To keep students safe on their way to school, we have taken more action.-That sounds great. We should do what we can ______ （avoid）school bus accidents.50.Human population growth will be probably the most serious problem if it______ （not control） properly．51.Technology today ______ （stole）away our voices and robbed our children ofmemories. I've been keeping count of how often people sing around the house these days.The fact is, they don't.52.Many of us have had this experience：we lie down in a bed other than our own, perhapsat a friend's house or in a hotel room, and find it difficult to fall asleep. Why does it happen？A new study shows one reason is what the scientists call "first night effect". They believethat one side of the brain acts as a "night watch" to warn us about possible dangers. Itprevents us from getting to sleep on the first night in a new environment.For the study, 35 young volunteers were asked to sleep in a sleep lab for several days as researchers watched their brain activities.According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brain was more active than the right brain and people had a hard time sleeping. However, the left brain activity decreased （降低）as days went by, falling even to the point of complete calm. In this process, the volunteers got better and better sleep experience.The findings show that the different rhythms（节奏）of the sides of the brain affect our sleep. When the two sides work differently, the balance between them is broken. So the brain can't relax and is sensitive（敏感的）to anything strange around."At some level, the brain is continuing to work, even though you don't realize it," USprofessor Jerome Siegel told Smithsonian Magazine. "If something unusual happens, you can be alert. （警惕的）"More surprisingly, this is like the way some animals sleep. Whales, dolphins, and many birds can sleep with half of their brain while the other half stays awake, with one eyestaying open.The researchers think that it is the result of evolution（进化）and works to protect us in possibly dangerous environments.If you have ever had first night effect, researchers advise you to bring your own pillow or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.53.尽管这个音乐家一开始在音乐上没有天赋，但是他最后通过努力获得了成功。

The arugula（芝麻菜）was to make a nice green salad, rounding out a roast chicken dinner. But I ended up working late. Then friends called with a dinner invitation. I stuck the chicken in the freezer. But as days passed, the arugula went bad. Even worse, I had unthinkingly bought way too much; I could have made six salads with what I threw out.In a world where nearly 800 million people a year go hungry, “food waste goes against the moral grain,” as Elizabeth Royte writes in this month’s cover story. It’s jaw-dropping how much perfectly good food is thrown away—from “ugly”（but quite eatable）vegetables rejected by grocers to large amounts of uneaten dishes thrown into restaurant garbage cans.Producing food that no one eats wastes the water, fuel, and other resources used to grow it. That makes food waste an environmental problem. In fact, Royte writes, “if food waste were a country, it would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world.”If that’s hard to understand, let’s keep it as simple as the arugula at the back of my refrigerator. Mike Curtin sees my arugula story all the time—but for him, it’s more like 12 bones of donated strawberries nearing their last days. Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington, D．C．, which recovers food and turns it into healthy meals. Last year it recovered more than 807,500 pounds of food by taking donations and collecting blemished （有瑕疵的）produce that otherwise would have rotted in fields. And the strawberries? Volunteers will wash, cut, and freeze or dry them for use in meals down the road.Such methods seem obvious, yet so often we just don’t think. “Everyone can play a partin reducing waste, whether by not purchasing more food than necessary in your weekly shopping or by asking restaurants to not include the side dish you won’t eat,” Curtin says. 28．What does the author want to show by telling the arugula story?A．We pay little attention to food waste.B．We waste food carelessly at times. C．We waste more vegetables than meat.D．We have good reasons for wasting food. 29．What is a result of food waste according to the text?A．Moral decline.B．Environmental harm.C．Energy shortage.D．Worldwide hunger.30．What does Curtin suggest people do?A．Buy only what is needed.B．Reduce food product.C．Go shopping once a week.D．Eat in restaurants less often.The elderly residents(居民) in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.The project was dreamed up by a local charity(慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s well-being. It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said, “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school.”“I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they’ve gone to bed.”“It’s good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.”There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said, “Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.”Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said, “We are happy to be taking part inthe project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.”31．What is the purpose of the project?A．To ensure harmony in care homes.B．To provide part-time jobs for the aged. C．To raise money for medical research.D．To give the elderly a sense of success. 32．What do the underlined words “embark on” mean in paragraph 7?A．Improve.B．Oppose.C．Begin.D．Review. 33．What can we learn about the project from the last two paragraphs?A．It is well received.B．It needs to be more creative.C．It is highly profitable.D．It takes ages to see the results.Human speech contains more than 2,000 different sounds, from the common “m” and “a” to the rare clicks of some southern African languages. But why are certain sounds more common than others? A ground-breaking, five-year study shows that diet-related changes in human bite led to new speech sounds that are now found in half the world’s languages.More than 30 years ago, the scholar Charles Hockett noted that speech sounds called labiodentals, such as “f” and “v”, were more common in the languages of societies that ate softer foods. Now a team of researchers led by Damián Blasi at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, has found how and why this trend arose.They discovered that the upper and lower front teeth of ancient human adults were aligned(对齐), making it hard to produce labiodentals, which are formed by touching the lower lip to the upper teeth. Later, our jaws changed to an overbite structure(结构), making it easier to produce such sounds.The team showed that this change in bite was connected with the development of agriculture in the Neolithic period. Food became easier to chew at this point. The jawbone didn’t have to do as much work and so didn’t grow to be so large.Analyses of a language database also confirmed that there was a global change in the sound of world languages after the Neolithic age, with the use of “f” and “v” increasing remarkably during the last few thousand years. These sounds are still not found in the languages of many hunter-gatherer people today.This research overturns the popular view that all human speech sounds were present when human beings evolved around 300,000 years ago. “The set of speech sounds we use hasnot necessarily remained stable since the appearance of human beings, but rather the huge variety of speech sounds that we find today is the product of a complex interplay of things like biological change and cultural evolution,” said Steven Moran, a member of the research team.34．Which aspect of the human speech sound does Damián Blasi’s research focus on? A．Its variety.B．Its distribution.C．Its quantity.D．Its development. 35．Why was it difficult for ancient human adults to produce labiodentals?A．They had fewer upper teeth than lower teeth.B．They could not open and close their lips easily.C．Their jaws were not conveniently structured.D．Their lower front teeth were not large enough.36．What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A．Supporting evidence for the research results.B．Potential application of the research findings.C．A further explanation of the research methods.D．A reasonable doubt about the research process.37．What does Steven Moran say about the set of human speech sounds?A．It is key to effective communication.B．It contributes much to cultural diversity. C．It is a complex and dynamic system.D．It drives the evolution of human beings.四、根据汉语提示填空38．Nancy wants to know whether yellow was once the color of the rulers in ________ (古代的) China or not.39．My elder brother will ________ (服役) as an officer in the army for four years when he graduates.40．The citizens in Wuxi are having a higher and higher _________ (标准) of living at present.41．Your English speeches are so poor, please correct your ___________ (发音).五、用所给单词的正确形式填空42．My grandfather _________ (prefer) jogging to walking, but now he doesn’t.43．Our teacher once told us that the early bird _________ (catch) the worm.44．After hearing the news, Jim suggested _________ (discuss) the problem in the meeting room.45．Winter Olympic Games which all of us are looking forward to ________ (success) took place in Beijing.46．If it is not turned in by the fourth day after the due date, you ________（receive）a zero . 47．Like most of us, I try to be mindful of food that _________ (go) to waste.48．It was jaw-dropping how much perfectly good food ________(throw) away—from “ugly” (but quite eatable) vegetables to a number of uneaten dishes.49．_______ (produce) food which no one eats wastes the water, fuel（燃料）and other resources used to grow it.50．The Chinese government recently _________ (make) a plan to set up Giant Panda National Park.51．It was the time for students to go home, and the students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town ________ (walk) along the street.52．My father __________ (regret) what he said and he believed that he could live better. 53．It’s common that many Chinese people prefer to sell their old houses ________ (buy) new ones.六、阅读填表先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在文章后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。

People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.◆“What’s the matter?”“I went to a party last night, so I…”◆“I feel so tired these days.”“I think you’d better…”◆“Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…”You can see from the above three examples that the context(上下文)helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So “guessing” is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.( ) 25. This passage tells us mainly about _______.A. the importance of “guessing” in learning a foreign languageB. how to guess what one is going to talk aboutC. some examples of right guessingD. how important it is to guess all the time( ) 26. Which of the following best finishes the sentence in EXAMPLE 3?A. She is one of the most famous film stars.B. She is one of the most beautiful women.C. She is one of the most famous speakers.D. She is one of the most talkative women.( ) 27. From the passage we can infer(推断)that guessing is _______ in learning a foreign language.A. the only wayB. more important in spoken English than in written EnglishC. more important than any other wayD. more important in written English than in spoken EnglishBA few minutes before six o’clock, Mr. Smith decided to leave. He was about to start the car when a gunman jumped up from the back seat. He held a gun to Mr. Smith’s head. “Drive me to Paris!”he shouted.“All right”, Mr. Smith answered. He started the engine, pulled away from the side of the street and drove down. Being eighty-one years old, he knew he could not fight the gunman. He knew he needed help. Where were the police? As he drove through a crossing, he looked up and down the side streets, hoping to meet a police car. But he could see nothing. “Just my luck,” he thought, “If I was driving too fast, there would be a police car on every corner.”Suddenly he pushed his foot down on the accelerator(油门), and the car ran much faster. “What are you doing?”shouted the gunman. “Keeping off the police,”Mr. Smith answered. “I thought I saw a police car back there.”He ran lights, drove the wrong way on one-way streets. On two-way streets he drove on the wrong side of th e road. Not one policeman saw him. Again Mr. Smith’s plan was not working. He had to try a new plan. He turned a corner and saw the police station in front. Then he drove his car as fast as he could towards the police gate. The car hit a police motorbike down and stopped. Mr. Smith shouted, “Help! Help!” Then he reached back to grab(夺) the man’s gun. At the same time the policeman heard the noiseand quickly caught the gunman.28. Why did Mr. Smith drive much faster suddenly?A. Because he wanted to keep off the police.B. Because he saw a police car behind his.C. Because his plan was working.D. Because he wanted the police to see him.29. Which of the following is not TRUE?A. Mr. Smith ran lights, drove the wrong way on one-way streets.B. Mr. Smith knew he didn’t need any help.C. Mr. Smith drove his car as fast as he could towards the police gate.D. Mr. Smith looked up and down the side street, hoping to meet a police car.30. From the passage, what can we infer(推测)?A. Mr. Smith is a strong man.B. Mr. Smith is a shy man.C. Mr. Smith is a wise man.D. Mr. Smith is a stupid man.CWe don’t know how different our future will be in the future. We can only try to imagine it.At first we think about human relationship. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day we w ill be making new friends through the Internet—even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. It will be much faster and easier for us. On the other hand, our relationships with people won’t be as important as they are today—we will feel a little lonely.Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like r obots which will do the homework for us.Spending holidays will also be completely different. Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone. Means(方式) of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much cleaner.We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn’t true. We will pay more attention to protecting the environment. And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AI DS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as health will be in better condition.Although we can’t predict(预测) the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children’s future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather sanguine(乐观的) about our future. We should be happy and believe good things will happen.31. Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?A. Because the number of people will become much smaller．B. Because there will be less face-to-face communicationC. Because people won’t like making friends with each otherD. Because people won’t communicate with each other much often．32. According to the passage, which of the following will happen in 2050?A. The relationship between people will be more important than today.B. The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.C. It won’t be difficult for people to travel to other planets.D. Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.33. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How people will communicate in the year 2050.B. What our life will be like in the year 2050.C. How people will travel and spend their holidays in the year 2050.D. Wha t high technology will appear in the year 2050.DYou are probably familiar with the saying：An apple a day keeps the doctor away. A recent research carried out by the Chinese University of Hong Kong may change the saying:An apple a day may keep aging away.The research chose fruit flies(果蝇), as they share many genes(基因)with humans. The fruit flies were either fed normally or had an apple extract(浓缩物) added to their diet.It turned out that those fruit flies that were given apple extract lived about 55 days—five days longer than the flies that were normally fed. The research group also found it easier for the flies to walk，climb and move about as they aged.According to the result, the researchers believed that the antioxidants(抗氧化剂) in the appleextract helped clean up dangerous chemicals(化学物质) that cause illnesses，as well as aging.In another study，researchers examined diets of thousands of women. They discovered that those who regularly ate apples were 20 percent less likely to suffer heart illnesses and stroke.The apples’ genetic code(遗传密码) was discovered recently. It allows scientists to develop nicer and healthier fruits. Resear chers are already using the information to grow a kind of apples full of antioxidants that can keep eyes and joints healthy and protect humans against heart illnesses and cancer.Apples that kill the desire(欲望) to eat could also be produced, with the first“extra-healthy’’apples on supermarket shelves within just four or five years.The team that keeps studying apple DNA includes 100 scientists from five countries. Their research also suggests that around 65 million years ago, when dinosaurs began to die off the plant，which would finally become today’s apple tree, experienced a great genetic change. The number of many of its genes doubled. The extra genes allowed the apple to get used to worse conditions and go through a different development from peaches，strawberries and other related fruits.34．Why were fruit flies used for the research?A. Because they have a similar diet to humans.B. Because they have a history as long as apples.C. Because they share a lot of genes with humans.D. Because they feed on nothing but apple extract.35．What result did the researchers find out?A. Apples produce chemicals that can change hu man genes.B. Apples have antioxidants that kill chemicals that cause aging.C. Apples are rich in vitamins that are needed in humans’ bodies.D. Apples produce chemicals that make apples taste more delicious.36．What happened to apples around 65 million years ago according to the research?A. Their genes stopped their development as the environment got worse.B. Their genes became twice in number but they finally died off like dinosaurs.C. They experienced a great genetic change making them get used to worse conditions.D. They went through a similar development to peaches, strawberries and other related fruits. 37．What can we infer(推断)from the passage?A. Eating apples may bring us more advantages than we might believe before.B. People who have the habit of eating apples don’t need to see a doctor.C. Apples that kill the desire to eat are already available in supermarkets now.D. People will eat apples instead of peaches and strawberries from now on.第二卷（非选择题，共40分）四、词汇运用根据所给单词或所给中文写出单词的正确形式(本大题共8分，每小题1分)1.
