This skill is crucial in all academic subjects and for everyday life.Thirdly, reading fosters critical thinking. When reading, students are challenged toquestion, evaluate, and analyze the information presented. This process sharpens theirability to think critically, an essential skill for problem-solving and decision-making. Lastly, reading provides a window to different cultures and perspectives. Through books, students can travel to faraway places, meet diverse characters, and gain insights into different ways of life. This broadens their horizons and cultivates empathy and understanding.Questions1.What is the main purpose of the passage?

You may use your own experiences or examples from others to illustrate your point.Example Essay:In today’s fast-paced world, perseverance often serves as the key to unlocking the door to success. Achieving goals, whether academic,professional, or personal, requires unwavering dedication and resilience.I personally have witnessed the power of perseverance in my journey to mastera foreign language. Initially, the task seemed daunting, with its complexgrammar rules and vast vocabulary. However, through consistent effort and perseverance, I gradually overcame these challenges. Each day, I dedicated myself to reading, listening, and speaking, never giving up despite the difficulties. Over time, my efforts paid off, and I found myself fluent in the language.This experience taught me that perseverance is not just about enduring hardship; it’s about turning challenges into opportunities. It’s about believing in oneself, even when the going gets tough. In conclusion, perseverance is a vital trait for anyone aspiring to achieve their goals, as it transforms dreams into realities.(Note: This is a sample essay to illustrate the structure and content of the writing task. Students should write their own essays based on their own experiences and insights.)。

When I think more about this word, I picture someone who has accomplished good things for people and tries to do the right thing. Hattie Elizabeth Alexander is one person whom I find to be very heroic.Hattie was born in Baltimore, Maryland on April 5, 1901. During her time at College she earned her Bachelor's Degree in Bacteriology and Physiology. After that, Hattie attended Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and received her medical degree.After her education, she pursued her career, and after much time and hard work, she drastically reduced the number of infants (幼儿) dying from meningitis (脑膜炎). Hattie was very devoted to her work and helped at as many locations as she could. Spending much of her time in the lab, Hattie successfully developed a cure against the disease, which decreased the death rate to 20 percent. At the same time, she was also a teacher working with Columbia University.She was a caring lady interested in other people's lives. When she was teaching at Columbia University, other members would talk to her about students that were failing their classes, and somehow Hattie could always find convincing reasons as to why they should not be driven away. Later, Hattie became an instructor in Pediatrics at New York City's Babies Hospital. After many honors, she became the first woman president of the American Pediatric Society in 1965.Hattie is my hero because her positive attitude and strength helped her accomplish great things for others. She gave them her strength by developing medicines againstdiseases, which, by doing so, made them stronger. This is what makes Hattie Elizabeth Alexander my hero.4.According to the text, Hattie Elizabeth Alexander ________.A. cared a lot about others' private livesB. received her Bachelor's Degree in Johns Hopkins SchoolC. spent all her time in the lab developing cures for illnessesD. always tried her best to stop students from dropping out of college5.What does the underlined word "drastically" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. slightlyB. hardlyC. greatlyD. totally6.Hattie is considered to be a hero by the author because ________.A. she was the first woman President of APSB. she was a hardworking, caring and honorable personC. she was a very famous woman doctor with many honorsD. she was the lady who helped many students receive higher education7.What is the text mainly about?A. Helping others is a must in a lifetime.B. My Hero—Hattie Elizabeth Alexander.C. The First Woman President of the APS.D. Pursuing one's career with high education.CTeenagers who travel around the world alone have been making headlines quite often.A young person alone in a dangerous situation attracts attention and sponsors. Young sailors also attract various views. For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the government to cancel her voyage, yet the Prime Minister called her "a hero for young Australians" when she returned. It seemed there is confusion about the competence and independence of young people.The popular psychologists tell us that teenage brains are likely to make wrong judgments. But such ideas often do not apply to specific individuals. Between the ages of 14 and 18, teenagers vary greatly in their abilities. The amount of independence that each is allowed should be determined not simply by their age but by discussion with the related, responsible adults. Some teens are certainly inexperienced and capable ofchildish mistakes, but the ones who attempt dangerous journeys normally do so by winning the confidence of hard-headed and well-qualified adult supporters.But it's also wrong to think that any 16-year-old can desire to get achievements as unusual as Jessica Watson's. Watson calls herself "an ordinary girl who had a dream". Her intention is to encourage teenagers but this idea can have the opposite effect of making them feel not good enough because great achievements are beyond them. Should all teens have such dreams? Actually, individuals face varying circumstances that restrict their dreams.Teenagers who travel around the world alone should not be judged by preconceived (事先形成的）views about young people. Nor should young "ordinary" teenagers feel pressure to long for extraordinary personal goals. In fact, I believe the example of solo sailing overstresses individualism. The teenage years are when most of us "ordinary" people learn that we can achieve great things in cooperation with others.8.Why is Jessica Watson mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To praise Jessica's great achievement.B. To point out the media's interest in young people.C. To introduce a divided idea about young people's adventures.D. To show the Prime Minister's attitude against the government.9.What can be inferred about teenagers from the text?A. They need supports of responsible adults.B. Their abilities vary with the level of independence.C. They tend to make wrong decisions between 14 and 18.D. Their attempts in dangerous journeys prove their lacking experience.10.What does Jessica mean by calling herself "an ordinary girl who had a dream"?A. Dreams need encouragement.B. Teenagers should have wild dreams.C. Everyone would accomplish what Jessica has done.D. Ordinary teens could also make great achievements.Ⅰ、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Road Trip Planning There are so many things to consider when planning a road trip, especially if you want to make it a great one.

In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头骨) of you, your children, your neighbors and those that reside next door to them. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden.The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties tha t I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they failed toflourish.What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress.Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it.Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves.Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing? Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder.19．Why does the author wear a bike helmet while working in the garden?A. To protect the injured skull.B. To prevent herself from sunburn.C. To avoid being hit by the nuts.D. To reduce the chance of getting bitten by bees.20．What is the tree’s survival strategy?A. It attracts beneficial pollinators.B. It lets out poison to drive away pests.C. It produces a chemical fatal to some plants.D. It competes for nutrition with similar species.21．Which of the following DOESN’T account for the author’s love-hate relationship with the tree?A. The volume of its fruits may bring inconvenience.B. The tree outcompetes the native plants in the garden.C. The tree is home to numerous birds and other creatures.D. The presence of the tree takes up much space of the garden.22．The author most probably got a reminder from the tree that ________.A. it’s better to give than to takeB. trees and plants have their own ways to flourishC. even a good relationship is not always trouble-freeD. acceptance, instead of resistance, is the better way to beCIt was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghost s in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya’s Red Crescent organization estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city’s mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000.Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling” (令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, t hey need psychological support.”23．What do we know about Bujeldain’s family from paragraph 1?A. The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam.B. Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery.C. Bujeldain immediately recognized the outbreak of the floods.D. For several days, they didn’t fully realize the seriousness of the floods.24．What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in paragraph 2?A. They run out of energy and are very tired.B. They feel lucky as they are safe and sound.C. They are completely saddened and shocked.D. They are sorry for the loss of their homeland.25．According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives?A. The absence of warning.B. The extraordinary rainfall.C. Unexpected climate change.D. The damage to environment.26．What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna?A. Addressing mental problems.B. Providing immediate medical care.C. Conducting climate change research.D. Rebuilding roads and access to resources.DBy the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny microorganisms (微生物) in the ocean called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colorful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean color varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate (调控) the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3C, it found that multiple changes to the color of the oceans would occur. The model projectsthat currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions more suitable for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing.” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to live on.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever color changes the ocean experiences in the coming future will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happe ning because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the color of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”27．What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A. The cause of the changes in ocean color.B. The various patterns at the ocean surface.C. The way light reflects off marine organisms.D. The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.28．What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. beneficialB. sensitiveC. significantD. unnoticeable 29．What can we learn from the passage?A. Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.B. Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.C. Phytoplankton play a declining role in the ecosystem.D. Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.30．What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.B. To assess the consequences of ocean color changes.C. To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.D. To analyze the organization of the ocean food chain.The Chubby Diaries creator is part of a community of larger-bodied travelers who are showing the world that they can do anything. Following them helps because you can be like, “Oh, this place works with larger bodies.” 31 .Second plane seats and belt extendersSouthwest is one of the few airlines to offer plus-size passengers a free second seat. To ensure the extra space, Southwest recommends booking both seats beforehand, then making a request to get your money back. 32 Southwest states: “The armrest is t he definitive gauge (测量仪) for a customer of size. If you’re unable to lower both armrests, you need a second seat.” Even if your frame fits between the lowered arms, you may still need a seat-belt extender.33 .Finding size nclusive tripsFor Natalie Robinson, ziplining (压缩) in Costa Rica determined her bucket list. “Literally for the last 10 years, that’s all I talked about,” said the co-owner of Fat Girls Travel. 34 . Her fortunes changed completely on an August trip to Costa Rica, when a friend found an outfitter without weight restrictions. The guide said Robinson could dash through the rainforest as long as she could reach the starting point high in the tree tops.35When researching a trip, ask about weight restrictions as well as the availability of equipment that can accommodate your size. If you have concerns, bring your own equipment. Plus-size travelers emphasize the importance of being self-sufficient. Finding special clothes and equipment can be challenging in unfamiliar destinations.A. Pack your own equipmentB. Find supportive travel groups and tripsC. Their extra efforts are paying off as they discover how to travel comfortably andconfidentlyD. Ziplining provides much convenience for those fat girlsE. Many airlines use the armrests to determine whether a passenger requires more spaceF. Air-lines provide this extra piece of equipment free, and you can request it at the time ofboardingG. But ziplining generally has a weight limit, so she hadn’t been able to do itYou might say I found marathoning, step by step. Or perhaps it found me. I was 36 an athlete growing up. In fact, I have a hard time 37 that term to myself even today.It started when I joined a group of women in my neighborhood for a daily three-mile walk. At first it was 38 . But soon, my body adjusted and I wanted 39 . Before long, I was running 5 miles. Then I set a goal to run a half marathon. And I did complete the Covered Bridges Half Marathon. I thought, “Now what?” I started to 40 a marathon.It so happened that I 41 a meeting one night and listened to the speaker and coach, Rick Muhr, and was so 42 by his words. I told him that I had signed up for the Ocean State Marathon, just a week away, and that I really didn’t believe I could 43 . Rick locked eyes with me and said, “Trish, you’ve done enough training. You’ll finish!”I never had someone 44 me like that, let alone a real, live coach. He gave me the45 I needed. I set out to run my 46 marathon and completed it in 4:25:00. Little did I know that this would be the beginning of nearly a decade of marathon and distance running. Running a marathon isn’t for everybody. But it is for anybody, anybody who wants to47 the unreachable and to take that 48 into the rest of their life.

The stock market had crashed, and the Great Depression was about to begin. The crash was caused by a combination of factors, including speculation, overproduction, and a lack of regulation. As a result, banks failed, people lost their jobs, and the economy spiraled into a deep recession.The Great Depression lasted for a decade, from 1929 to 1939.

The invention of the printing press allowed for the mass production of books, leading to an explosion in literacy and the spread of knowledge.Gutenberg’s printing press used movable type, which could be reused and rearranged to create different texts. This made the process of printing much faster and more efficient. The first book to be printed using this method was the Bible, which was completed in 1455. The widespread availability of the Bible and other religious texts led to a significant increase in religious literacy among the common people.The printing press also had a profound impact on the spread of science andtechnology. It allowed scientists to share their discoveries more quickly and widely, which accelerated the pace of innovation. The printing press was instrumental in the Renaissance, a period of great cultural and intellectual growth in Europe.1、What was the main impact of Johannes Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press?A、It increased the cost of book production.B、It made books more expensive for the general public.C、It significantly changed the way books were produced and distributed.D、It decreased the literacy rate among the common people.答案：C2、How did the printing press affect the production of books?A、It made books more difficult to produce.B、It required more manual labor to produce books.C、It allowed for the mass production of books.D、It made books more expensive to produce.答案：C3、Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a consequence of the printing press?A、An increase in religious literacy.B、The spread of science and technology.C、The decline of the Renaissance.D、A faster pace of innovation.答案：C4、What was the first book printed using Johannes Gutenberg’s printing press?A、The QuranB、The Declaration of IndependenceC、The Gutenberg BibleD、The Magna Carta答案：C第四题Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.The Rise of Social MediaIn the last decade, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives.

In the past, communication was limited to face-to-face interactions or letters. Now, with the advent of the internet and social media, we can connect with people across the globe in an instant. This rapid change has both positive and negative impacts.The positive aspects of technology are undeniable. It has made information more accessible, allowing us to learn new skills and stay updated with the latest news. It has also revolutionized the way businesses operate, increasing efficiency and productivity. However, there are also negative consequences.One of the major concerns is the impact on our social lives. Spending toomuch time online can lead to social isolation, as people may prefer virtual interactions to real-life ones. Additionally, the constant exposure to social media can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem.Another issue is the potential for online fraud and cybercrimes. With so much personal information being shared online, individuals are at a higher risk of falling victim to scams and identity theft.Despite these challenges, many argue that the benefits of technology far outweigh the drawbacks. They believe that with proper education and awareness, we can navigate the digital world safely and responsibly.Here is an example of how technology has transformed our daily lives:munication: Before the internet, if you wanted to talk to someone in another country, you would have to wait days for a letter to arrive.

A．missing Ed's funeralB．moving away from his neighborhoodC．forgetting to send Ed Christmas cardsD．not being able to keep in touch with Ed18．From Paragraph4,we can learn that the author of the passage________.A．often failed to write to his friendsB．had no intention to write to his friendsC．had many great moments with his friendsD．was good at expressing feelings to his friends19．What message does the passage probably try to convey?A．Comfort your friends when they are feeling down.B．Life is unpredictable,so live each day as if it were your last.C．Remember to always mail your letters after expressing your words.D．Always make time to value and experience your lasting friendships.【答案】16．A17．D18．A19．DLiving and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days,but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.If I have learned anything in my16years,it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along.With any relationship,you need to let other person know how you are feeling.If you are not able to communicate,you drift apart.When you are mad at your parents,or anyone else,not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.Communication begins with the concerns of another.It means that you can’t just come home from school,go up to your room and ignore everyone.Even if you just say“Hi”and see how their day was for five minutes,it is better than nothing.If you looked up the word“communication”in a dictionary.It would say“the exchange of ideas,the conveyance(表达)of information,means of communication such as a letter or a message”.To keep a good relationship,you must keep communication strong.Let people know how you feel,even if it's Just by writing a note.When dealing with parents,you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent.If you are trying to make them see something as you see it,tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say,but ask them politely to listen to you.Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.This is an example:one night,Sophie went to a street party with her friends.She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks,but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home.That would be rude.After all,they had been nice enough to take her along with them.Needless to say,she was late getting home.Her parents were mad at first,but when Sophie explained why she was late,they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here.If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.Communication isn’t a one-way deal:it goes both ways.Just remember:if you get into a situation like Sophie’s,tell the other person how you feel-listening is the key factor to communication.20．In the writers view,dealing with parents is__________than with children.A．more difficult B．easierC．more uninteresting D．more interesting21．The main idea of the second paragraph is____________.A．the importance of friendshipB．to make your feeling known to othersC．the importance of communicationD．the disagreement between generations22．The example in this passage proves that____________.A．Sophie is very polite to her parentsB．Sophie's parents are willing to listen to herC．explanation is the best way to solve a problemD．communication is the solution(解决办法)to misunderstanding23．All the following statements are correct except____________.A．If you don’t agree with others,you'd better let them knowB．It is better to say“Hi”to others than say nothingC．If you are not able to communicate,walk awayD．Communication is a two-way deal【答案】20．A21．C22．D23．CGreen is an important color in nature.It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.Sometimes,the word“green”means young,fresh and growing.For example,a greenhorn is someone who has no experience.In the15th century,a greenhorn was a young cow or an ox whose horns(角)had not yet developed.A century later,a greenhorn was a soldier who had no experience in war.By the18th century,a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指).The expression comes from the early20th century.A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well.Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling,jealousy(嫉妒).The green-eyed monster(怪物)is not a dangerous animal from outer space.It is an expression used about400years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play“Othello”.It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants.For example,a young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if you get a pay rise and he does not.In most places in the world,a green light means to move ahead.In everyday speech,a green light means agree to continue with a project.24．A greenhorn now refers to________.A．a person who is new in a jobB．a new soldierC．a young horseD．a cow without horns25．A person with a green thumb is a person________.A．who is good at growing plantsB．whose thumbs are of green colorC．whose garden is greener than others’D．who is younger than his neighbors26．A man may meet the green-eyed monster if________.A．he sees a dangerous animalB．he reads a sad playC．his friend gets a prize that he wantsD．he can’t get something27．The main idea of the passage is________.A．a greenhornB．a green thumbC．the Green RevolutionD．the word“green”and its story【答案】24．A25．A26．C27．DWolves are important animals in the traditions and stories of most Native American tribes.To Native Americans,wolves often represent bravery.The animals also are signs of strength,loyalty,and success at hunting.Other cultures--such as the ancient Celtic and Nordic peoples-also placed high value on wolves.However,from the wolves in horror films to the wolves in children’s stories,wolves get a bum rap(不公正的惩罚)in both literature and English expressions.To begin with,there is the term lone wolf.The lone wolf isn’t a bad person.But they like to do things on their own.However,the term can mean something less than desirable.Lonewolf makes you think the person doesn’t want to be around people because he or she dislikes them.Now,let’s move on to the home.Parents might criticize their children for wolfing down their food.In other words,the child eats very quickly and without care.And if someone says a child was raised by wolves, that child has bad manners and is behaving like a wild animal.A wolf at the door means someone to whom you owe money is waiting just outside your door.By the way,there are two popular wolf-related expressions that come from Aesop,the ancient Greek storyteller.The first is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.A wolf in sheep’s clothing describes someone who acts and looks nice on the outside but is bad on the inside.Aesop’s other wolf fable also involves a shepherd,but not a hardworking one.He is known as the boy who cried wolf.People who cry wolf are not trusted.People are so familiar with this story,you simply have to say cry wolf for them to know what you mean. 28．According to the passage,which group of people may think wolves are bad animals? A．The ancient Nordic people B．The ancient Celtic peopleC．Native Americans D．The English people29．Which of the following can describe a person who often acts alone?A．A wild wolf B．A lone wolfC．A wolf at the door D．A wolf in sheep’s clothing30．What may you probably mean by saying someone cries wolf?A．The person is selfish B．The person is a liarC．The person is stubborn D．The person is a troublemaker31．What is the passage mainly about?A．Stories about wolvesB．The research on wolvesC．Expressions about wolvesD．The cultural differences about wolves【答案】28．D29．B30．B31．CJohn H．Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas city in1918．His father died in an accident when John was six．He was reaching the high school age，but his hometown offered no high school for blacks．Fortunately he had a strong﹣willed caring mother．John remembered that his mother told him many times，"Son，you can be anything you want really to be if you just believe．"She told him not to depend on others，including his mother．"You have to earn success，"she said．"All the people who work hard don't succeed，but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard．"These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education．She also knew that believing hard work don't mean everything．So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son，who was then15，to Chicago．Chicago in1933was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for．John's mother and stepfather could not find work．But here John could go to school，and here he learned the power of words﹣as an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School his wish was to publish a magazine for blacks．While others discouraged him，John's mother offered him more words to live by．"Nothing beats a failure but a try．"She also let him pawn（典当）her furniture to get the ﹩500he needed to start the Negro magazine．It is natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful．He always keeps his mother's words in mind．"Son，failure is not in your vocabulary!"Now John H．Johnson is one of the400richest people in America﹣worth﹩150million．32．Why did John's mother decide to move to Chicago?A．his father died when John was very youngB．life was too hard for them to stay on in their hometownC．John needed more education badlyD．there were no schools for Negroes in their hometown33．John's mother．A．didn't believe in or depend on othersB．thought one could be whatever one wanted to beC．believed one would succeed without working hardD．thought no one could succeed without working hard34．What does the underlined sentence"Nothing beats a failure but a try．"mean?A．if you try，you would succeedB．a failure is difficult to beat，even if you tryC．a try is always followed by a failureD．no failure can be beaten unless you try．【答案】32．C33．D34．DIf you’d like to go sightseeing,the following World Heritage Sites may be your best choices. Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest AreaThe Jiuzhaigou Valley,which lies in the northern part of Sichuan Province,reaches a height of more than4,800meters,with a series of different forest ecosystems(生态系统).There you can enjoy watching excellent waterfalls.Some140kinds of birds also live in the valley,as well as a number of endangered plants and animals,the giant panda included.For more information,please visit http://whc,unesco,org//en/list/637.Khaml Ruins National MonumentThe city of Khami,which developed after the capital of Great Zimbabwe had been given up in the mid-16th century,is of great archaeological(考古的)interest.The discovery of objects from Europe and China shows that Khami was a major centre for trade over a long period of time.For more information,please visit http://whc,unesco,org/en/list/365.Henderson IslandHenderson Island,which lies in the eastern South Pacific,is one of the few atolls(环礁)in the world whose ecology has not been touched by human beings.It is especially famous for the ten plants and four land birds that can only be seen on the island.For more information,please visit /en/list/487.The Old City of JerusalemAs a holy city for three different religions in the Middle East,Jerusalem has always been of great religious(宗教的)importance.It was given a World Heritage Status in1981and placedon the“List of World Heritage in Danger”the following year.For more information,please visit /en/list/148.35．What can we know about the Jiuzhaigou Valley?A．It has different forest ecosystems.B．It sits at the foot of a4,800-meter high mountain.C．In all about140kinds of birds and animals live there.D．Most of China’s endangered plants can be found there.36．The discovery of some of the objects in Khami shows that the city_____.A．had a very short historyB．was ruined in the mid-16th centuryC．was once Great Zimbabwe’s largest cityD．once played a great role as a trade center37．What can be learned about Henderson Island from the passage?A．It hasn’t been greatly influenced by human activities.B．It isn’t suitable for humans to live on.C．It has been open to visitors for years.D．It is made up of a few large atolls.38．If you are interested in religion,you should visit______.A．/en/list/365B．/en/list/148C．/en/list/487D．/en/list/637【答案】35．A36．D37．A38．BIt seems that people are gradually losing their smartness as smartphones become increasingly important assistants in their lives.As we rely too much on technology instead of our brains, many people have lost three basic abilities.The first skill many people have lost is remembering phone numbers.Because phonenumbers are stored in smartphone contacts,there’s now no need to dial a number or look at it again.______________________________________________.And some people may also have lost their sense of direction because some apps can guide people anywhere they want.People get so dependent on them that when they can’t use their smartphones,they get lost and anxious.But the worst lost skills may be social ones,meaning that some people are becoming socially inept(无能的).People often bury themselves in their smartphones.As we’re tooabsent-minded by what’s happening in the virtual(虚拟的)some of us have lost conversational skills and sometimes can’t even tell whether a person is happy or not.Last August,researchers at the University of California,Los Angeles,studied51students aged11and12who had over five hours’screen time every day.Their task was to tell the emotions of48pictures of faces that were happy,sad,angry or scared.The children made an average of14.02mistakes at the beginning.But after a five-day camp without electronic(电子的)products,they made only9.41mistakes on average. Luckily,people still have a chance to get these abilities back.You should try to keep your parents’numbers in mind for emergencies.You should also pay more attention to street signs and stores,which will help you to draw a mind map and stop you from getting lost.And the easiest solution to social skill loss is to take a break from electronic products.39．The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that______.A．you are able to turn to others for helpB．others are able to call you anytime and anywhereC．others are unable to get in touch with you by smartphoneD．you are unable to contact others without your smartphone40．The experiment shows that without electronic products,one could______. A．recognize more facial expressions correctlyB．lose the sense of direction frequentlyC．tell different emotions immediatelyD．tell more pictures of faces easily41．Overusing smartphones,people will probably______A．have no sense of numbersB．fail to find their destinationC．lose face-to-face communication skillsD．weaken their senses of hearing and sight42．What’s the writer’s attitude towards electronic products?A．Objective.B．Critical.C．Supportive.D．Optimistic.【答案】39．D40．A41．C42．BA good relationship between students and teachers makes the classroom a very inviting place.When you like your teachers,it’s easier to pay attention to their explanations and improve your marks.When you consider your teachers as friends,you’ll certainly have more respect for them.When your teachers consider you to be a friend,they’ll feel more open in class and that will probably influence the classroom in a positive way.Now here are some tips to develop a friendly relationship with your teachers:Ask questions.If you have any questions about that subject,ask them.Show them that you’re interested in their subjects.That will make them notice you.But never ask questions that you already know the answers to.If your teachers realize that you are not asking real questions,they might think that you’re not actually trying to learn,but only trying to make an impression.Talk about non-school subjects.When you see one of your teachers in the hall,greet him/her and ask if he/she is going to that concert or if he/she has seen that movie.That way you’ll show that you consider him/her as a reined.Some teachers don’t like to have friendly relationships with students,but most of them are happy to chat with their students.After a while,they may start to talk with you about non-school subjects in the classroom.The rest is totally up to you;it is very easy to develop a friendly relationship with any of your teachers.If you want to be friends with your teachers,just treat them as friends,but don’t forget that no matter how good friends you are,they will still be your teachers and deserve your respect.43．What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?A．How to make friends with your teachers in or out of class.B．How important a good teacher-student relationship is.C．How to make yourself pay attention to your teachers in class.D．Some tips for developing a friendly relationship with your teachers.44．When you ask a teacher questions you already know the answers to,__________. A．you may make a fool of yourself trying to be smartB．it means that you should not be above asking questionsC．you are actually trying to make fun of your teachersD．it shows that you’re trying to pretend to know everything45．What’s the main idea of this passage?A．What a good teacher-student relationship is.B．How to make friends with your classmates at school.C．How to make the classroom a very inviting place.D．How to develop a good relationship with your teachers.【答案】43．B44．A45．DElephants are able to know the difference between a man and a woman,and can tell an adult(成年人)from a child—all from the sound of a human voice.This is according to a study in which researchers played voice recordings to wild African elephants.The animals showed more fear when they heard the voices of adult Masai ually Masai people hunt elephants,and this suggests that animals have grown to listen for and avoid them.Prof.Karen McComb and Dr Graeme Shannon from the University of Sussex led the study.They explained that in former research they had used similar experiments to show that elephants could tell—from the sound of a lion—whether the animal was a female(雌性)or a more dangerous male(雄性).Prof.McComb wanted to find out if the animals used their very sharp sense of hearing to recognize danger from humans.The scientists recorded Masai men,women and children saying,in their own language,“Look,look over there,a group of elephants are coming.”They also recorded Kamba mensaying this phrase.Masai people often come across elephants,which can result in violent(暴力的)hunting. Kamba people,however,mainly feed on agriculture,which does not generally bring them into violent touch with the animals.When the team played recordings of these different voices through a hidden speaker, they found that elephant family groups showed more fear in response to the voice of a Masai man,than to a Kamba man’s voice.And the adult male Masai voices caused far more violent response than the voices of women or boys.46．An elephant can tell a man from a woman by sense of________.A．touch B．sight C．smell D．hearing 47．How did the researchers get to know the elephants’special ability?A．By watching the elephants in the zoo.B．By playing voice recordings to them. C．By recording the behaviors of elephants.D．By communicating with them in a special way.48．We can learn from the passage that elephants are especially afraid of________. A．Masai men B．Masai women C．Kamba men D．Kamba women 49．What is the best title for the passage?A．Elephants and Human Beings B．Differences Between Human Voices C．Elephants Recognize Human Voices D．Elephants at War with Human Beings【答案】46．D47．B48．A49．CEarthquakes are something that people fear.There are some places that have few or no earthquakes.Most places in the world,however,have them regularly.Countries that have a lot of earthquakes are usually quite mountainous.The most talked about earthquake in the United States was in San Francisco in1906. Over700people died in it.The strongest one in North America was in1964.It happened in Alaska.Strong earthquakes are not always the ones that kill the most people.In1755,one of thestrongest earthquakes ever recorded was felt in Portugal.Around2,000people died.In1923,a very strong earthquake hit Tokyo,Yokohama area of Japan.A hundred and forty thousand people died.Most of them died in fires which followed the earthquake.One of the worst earthquakes ever was in China in2008.It killed a large number of people.The worst earthquake ever reported was also in China,in which400,000people were killed or injured.This earthquake happened in1556.Earthquakes worry people a lot.The reason is that we often do not know when they are coming.People cannot prepare for earthquakes.50．Earthquakes happen________.A．in all the places in the worldB．only in the countries that have a lot of mountainsC．regularly in most places in the worldD．only in a few places along the coast51．When and where was the worst earthquake ever reported?A．In1964in Alaska.B．In1556in China.C．In1923in Japan.D．In2008in China.52．According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true?A．The stronger the earthquake is,the more people are killed.B．Earthquakes often come unexpectedly.C．Earthquakes can cause fires.D．People still don't know how to tell when an earthquake will come.53．What may be talked about in the seventh paragraph?A．How do earthquakes worry people?B．What will people do to prepare for earthquakes?C．How can we save people when earthquakes happen?D．How do earthquakes happen?【答案】50．C51．B52．A53．B。

It's one of a kind, and often handmade," she explained. She sold her creations in farmers' markets.All the pieces Ellie created were made of used or donated fabrics. She worked a lot with jean jackets, renewing them with artistic additions. The process started withfin ding a piece of material that looked good with the jackets. “Then, I find out the design that works on it through trial(尝试) and error and the design comes to me," she added.Ellie sharpened her creative skills at school. Cheryl Crow was one of her teachers early on. Crow called Ellie “a dream student”. She said Ellie worked hard and made progress. She is always not only very creative, but also very kind and helpful to the other students.Ellie has many dreams. She wants to be a teacher and to spread the joy of creativity among children.

Founded by Jimmy Wales and Larry Singer, Wikipedia is the worlds'tenth most popular website. It is available in 270 languages and has a total of 35 million articles, with 20,000 being added each month.The first non-English version(版本) of the online encyclopaedia were in German, Gatalan, Swedish, Spanish, French and Russian. The English version is the largest with over 5 million articles. The website can be edited by everyone. At present, about 80,000 volunteers around the world write articles for it. They are monitored by hundreds of editors who correct information if it is wrong. In the early days of the encyclopaedia, users had their doubts about using Wikipedia, because many mistakes were found and some experts said it was not serious enough. As time went on, however, the online encyclopaedia grew and grew. It brought down Microsoft's Encarta, which was the largest digital encyclopaedia at that time, and the printed version of Encyclopaedia Britannica.Today, for almost any topic the first hit you get from Google is almost always a Wikipedia article. The Wikimedia Foundation runs the encyclopaedia and it raises money to pay its 400 employees. With the money it can also keep Wikipedia free from advertisements. The foundation says that it wants to raise 100 million dollars over the next decade to keep Wikipedia running.In any case, Wikipedia is still growing. It has many sister projects, including Wikimedia Commons, a database with millions of images, or Wikidata, a free database that everyone can edit. Even though the encyclopaedia may not be the main source of information for scientists and other experts, it has helped change the world of research and knowledge.8.

If so, you would be called an "early bird". Perhaps you hate the sound of your alarm clock each morning and have little energy until afternoon. If so, you're probably a "night owl".Most people can be divided into such two groups, but what makes us this way? And is one better than the other? There are different opinions.Usually, early risers are praised as hard-working while those who prefer to get up late are considered lazy. Most people believe the early bird catches the worm.Yet some scientists now believe “night owls” can really focus longer and produce more than early risers.Research has found that the early bird does not always get the worm. In a Belgian study, both "morning people" and "evening people" were watched during their normal waking hours. After 10 hours of being awake, the “evening people” became more alert(机敏的). However, the “morning people” became sleepy and less focused. Researchers believe the reason for this dif ference is that “night owls” receive a last-minute increase from their brains. This added energy allows them to stay alert for longer periods of time.Environment, lifestyle, activities and childhood routines all may have an effect on sleeping habits, yet genetics(遗传学) may play the biggest role.It is possible to change your sleeping habits through regular bedtime, morning exercise and avoiding midnight snacks. But whether you're happy to rise early or to stay up late, you're probably doing what works best for your own personal body clock.12. How does the author introduce the subject?A.
