New uses for old clothing
Nowadays,we’re more wasteful than ever buying,using and throwing things away without thinking about the costs.We need to start living more responsibly—but how?One answer is to upcycle(再生利用).
If you’re like me,you might already make soil for gardening from food waste and use empty paper boxes as storage space.Did you know you can apply(应用)the same way to old clothing?You just need imagination!
I started upcycling clothing.Making new things out of old clothes is the best way to mix my talent and my interest.
Do you upcycle?If so,what new things have you made?If not,why not give it a try？
What do you think of the“new”hat I made for my sister?It used to be my mum's sweater.
Terry B Posted at 9：08 a.m.on 11th February 2018
Why don’t you give your old clothes to people in need?I even give away the most expensive things I don’t wear anymore.So I can help the environment while giving something useful to people in need.
Gina Posted at 9：28 a.m.on 11th February 2018
Good point! I’m talking about only the oldest clothing in your room—the clothes that are too old to be worn by others.The same idea goes for food waste at restaurants and supermarkets.Before upecycling food that can still be eaten,for example,using it to make soil,we should give it to those in need.
Betty 99 Posted at 10：18 a.m.on 11th February 2018

In your spare time, do you help your parents with chores(杂活) around the house? Can you cook for your family?
In order to stress(强调) the importance of hard-working spirit education(劳动教育) among students of different ages, the Communist Party of China Central Committee(中共中央) recently released(发布) a guideline(指导纲要).

February 29th comes up on the calendar only every four years.A year with a February 29th might be good news if you are paid by the day or the week.But it might be bad news if you were born on a February 29th.You have to wait three years in between birthdays!
American English has an expression for the unusual situation.February 29th is called a leap day.And the year with a February 29th in it is called a leap year.This year, 2020, is such a year.
As a verb, the word “leap” means to jump, or to move quickly.“Leap” can also be a noun, meaning a jump, or a sudden move.
In a leap year, the dates jump over one day of the week.Let me explain.In 2017, the last day of the year, December 31st, fell on a Sunday.In 2018, it fell on a Monday.In 2019, it fell on a Tuesday.But in 2020, December 31st will fall on a Thursday.It jumps right over Wednesday.
The reason for a leap day or a leap year is because our calendar does not follow the Earth’s orbit(轨道) around the sun exactly.Each year, we have a little time left over.So every four years, we put all that time together into an extra(额外的) day.
Some people choose to marry on February 29th because it is an unusual date.But some ancient peoples would likely tell couples not to do it.Leap years were believed to be difficult, and leap days were unlucky.To be honest, these have no scientific basis(依据).
(D)1.A 20-year-old person has birthdays if he/she was born on a February 29th.
A.20 B.15 C.10 D.5
(C)2.A leap year means one more is added in the calendar of the year.

Have you ever heard"You never get a second chance to make a first impression(印象)？" It may sound like an unusual piece of advice,but it is true—the first impression someone has of you when meeting you for the first time will probably influence how that person reacts to you in the future.

What's more,smiling and being positive helps you to know and get a better understanding of new things. This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people you do not know and be more creative and able to solve problems more quickly. So if you ever need a reason to be happy,think about the wonderful people you might meet﹣ ﹣and impress﹣ with a cheerful smile.

When people discover that I work as a film and TV extra(临时演员), they always ask me the same questions: Emily, is it easy to get work? Isn’t it boring? Do you get to meet famous actors? Does it pay well? My answers are pretty standard as well: Yes, sometimes, once in a while, and… kind of.The life of an extra is both more interesting and more boring than you might imagine.
Extras, who play the people in crowds, on streets, or in the background of indoors scenes, can come from all walks of life.Unlike many extras, I’m a trained actor.I do get real speaking roles, but work can be hard to come by if you’re not a popular star.I’m registered(注册) with an agency that deals only with extras, so I get calls all the time.The agency explains who I’ll be someone in a crowd, a member of a jury, a clerk and tells me where to go.Call time is usually bright and early, so I try to get to bed at a reasonable hour.
Sometimes being an extra is a “hurry up and wait” job.In my first extra role, I was one of a group of office workers who come out of a building just as a car explodes(爆炸) in the street.We waited for hours for the scene to be shot, and then went in and out of the building about fifty times, trying to act terrified by an explosion which was not real.Then we had lunch, changed clothes, and spent the afternoons as customers in a department store.
It may sound like I don’t enjoy the work, but I do.Being part of the background in a convincing(令人信服的) way is challenging, and being on a film or TV set is always fascinating.A lot of famous actors don’t even notice the extras, but the ones who do make the job a lot of fun for everyone.As for the money, it’s nothing compared to what the big actors make, but it pretty much pays the bills.And, as a bonus, I’ve beaten my high scores on all my phone games, thanks to all the time I spend sitting around, waiting for something to happen.
(C)1.Emily gives standard answers because .
A.she is proud of her job B.she wants to hide her feelings
C.she thinks it’s unnecessary to explain D.they are the exact answers to the questions
(B)2.What does Emily think of her job?
A.Busy. B.Enjoyable. C.Fashionable. D.Easy.
(A)3.In line 21, another way to say as a bonus would be .
A.above expectation B.as a result C.in general D.after all
(C)4.According to the passage, .
A.the famous actors look down upon the extras
B.being an extra is always a “hurry up and wait” job
C.Emily tells the truth about being a film and TV extra
D.those who want to be film or TV extras must be trained
(B)5.We can infer that Emily .
A.often pays the bills for others
B.sometimes has to get up very early
C.has beaten all the phone game players
D.was in face of danger in her first extra role

Dear Daniel,
I feel that I’ve grown up and should make my own decisions, but my parents disagree.My mom still helps me choose what clothes to wear.My dad asks me to pay attention only to study.I know they do this out of love, but I feel controlled.What should I do?
Amanda
Dear Amanda,
Your parents sound very strict.It’s hard to believe that your mom chooses what you wear.Are you a Barbie doll?
Try to take the first step when possible.Dress yourself before your mother has a chance to come in and choose your clothes.If she asks you to change, tell her you’ll be late for school.
You should also talk to her.Ask about her choices: What makes a set of clothes acceptable or unacceptable? Tell her you will follow her rules, but you want to make the choices.You are not in first grade.You are a young lady in high school.
As for your father, it’s difficult to argue with his mind.After all, he is not totally wrong.How strict is he? Does he lock you up with your textbooks? Are you allowed to have a hobby? Are you allowed to have a smartphone? Are you allowed to hang out with friends?
Such strict parents should know the law of diminishing returns(收益递减).A weightlifter, for example, can only lift for an hour or two each day.If she docs more, her muscles will not become stronger.She will just get tired.She may even hurt herself!
Our brains also have limits.Some violin teachers say you should only practice a new skill for 15 minutes each day.Our brains need to relax and understand new information.Our brains also have a basic need to socialize(社交).Ask your father: what is the meaning of so much studying if it makes you feel unhappy?
Stay strong.
Daniel

A couple often went shopping together.They both liked teacups.One day they saw a beautiful teacup in a store.As they picked it up, it suddenly spoke.
“I haven’t always been a teacup.Once I was red clay.My master rolled(揉、搓) me over and over and I shouted, but he only smiled.”
“Then I was placed on a rolling wheel and suddenly I went around and around.‘Stop!’ I cried, but the master only nodded.”
“Then he put me in the oven.I had never felt so hot.I could see him through the opening and I could read his words, ‘Not yet.’”
“Finally the door opened, and he took me out and put me on a shelf.Then he brushed me and put me back into the oven.This time it was twice as hot.I begged.I cried.I could see him through the opening nodding his head, saying, ‘Not yet.’”
“Then I knew there wasn’t any hope.I was ready to give up, but the door opened and I was taken out and placed on a shelf.Later he handed me a mirror and said, ‘Look at yourself.’ I said, ‘That can’t be me.It’s beautiful!’”
“‘I want you to remember,’ he said,‘if I had just left you without rolling, you’d have dried up.If I had stopped rolling you around on the wheel, you would have been out of shape.If I hadn’t put you in the oven, you would have broken.If I hadn’t brushed you all over, you would not have any color in your life.If I hadn’t put you back in that oven for the second time, you wouldn’t be kept for very long because the hardness would not have held.Now you are a finished product.You are what I had in mind when I first started with you.’”

When you think of the Arctic(北极), you imagine an icy land of pure white snow.Others imagine it as the last really clean place left on earth.We have polluted the deepest oceans with plastic rubbish.“And now”, CNN says, “It’s the Arctic’s turn.”
German scientists have recently found microplastics in Arctic snow.Microplastics are pieces of plastic smaller than 5 millimeters.Sadly, the scientists found 1800 pieces of microplastics per liter of(每升) snow.
How is plastic pollution reaching the Arctic? According to scientists, “It’s clear that most of the microplastics in the snow come from the air.” They fall off the plastic objects and are moved by the wind, just like dust.They mix with ice in the air and fall to the ground as snow.Finding these plastics in Arctic snow means that we may breathe them in.
Are they bad for us? Scientists cannot answer this question for now, according to the WHO.We do know that our bodies cannot take in “large” pieces of microplastics.However, if the plastics are small enough, they can find ways into our bodies and stay there for a long time, which can be bad for our health.What’s more, earlier studies have shown that microplastics may contribute to lung cancer risk.
Microplastics have also been found in rivers and oceans around the world.Earlier research has found that they flow over long distances and into our oceans, hurting ecosystems along the way.They start in our wastewater, then flow into rivers and out to the sea, where they are eaten by sea animals.If people then eat these animals, it means that we’re eating the plastic as well.
(D)1.We can learn from Paragraph 1 that .
A.the Arctic is the last really clean place left on earth
B.the Arctic is an icy land of pure white snow
C.the Arctic is a beautiful icy land with clean air
D.the Arctic has been polluted by plastic rubbish
(A)2.The underlined word “contribute” means “ ” in Chinese.
A.增加 B.捐献 C.造成 D.是……原因之一
(B)3.Where do most of the microplastics in the snow come from?
A.From water. B.From air. C.From wind. D.From food.
(C)4.Which of the following isn’t true?
A.We may breathe microplastics in Arctic.B.Microplastics may cause lung cancer.
C.We don’t have to mind microplastics right now.D.Microplastics have hurt ecosystems.
(C)5.How does the writer end this passage?
A.By advising us to drink clean water.B.By asking people not to eat sea animals.
C.By telling the seriousness of plastic pollution.D.By showing the beauty of Arctic.

Do you know about Psephurus gladius? It’s a Chinese paddlefish known as “king of all national freshwater fish”.However, it is announced that the Chinese paddlefish living in the Yangtze River has become extinct(灭绝的).
A paper from Science of the Total Environment shows that the largest freshwater fish in China might have gone extinct between 2005 and 2010.Wei Qiwei, author of the paper, said in September, 2019, some experts supposed that the first-class protected fish had been extinct already.
The Chinese paddlefish was about 2 to 3 meters long and could grow longer than 7 meters.The fish had lived on the earth for 15 million years.The latest discovery of the fish was made in 2003.Scientists helped the fish to return and tried to track(追踪) it.Unluckily, a boat accident caused the tracking efforts to fail.Since then, no discovery has been reported and no such fish has been kept in captivity(圈养).
“The Chinese paddlefish was so big that it was hard to raise in captivity,” Wei said.Between 1984 and 1993, he once tried to save four fish, but only one stayed alive and returned to the river.
The extinction of the fish has called public attention as people expressed sadness over the death, hoping such animals would be better protected so that future generations could see them.From Jan 1, 2020, China began a 10-year fishing ban(禁令) on important areas of the Yangtze River to protect Biodiversity(生态多样性) in China’s longest river.

Scientists around the world are racing to create and test vaccines(疫苗) to help protect people against the novel coronavirus(新冠病毒).They are making progress, but it will be quite a while before any vaccines are ready.
There are many different ways to make vaccines.At least 115 different vaccines for the novel coronavirus arc being developed around the world right now.Many of them may not work or may have side effects that can be dangerous.That is why testing is very important.
Before a vaccine is ever tested on humans, it's first tested on animals to make sure it seems safe.Testing the vaccine on humans is done in several different phases(阶段).In Phase 1, a small group of people are given small amounts of the vaccine to see if it has any bad effects.Phase 2 still tests the vaccine’s safety, but it's mainly a test to see if the vaccine seems to work, If Phase 2 goes well, the vaccine can begin Phase 3.During Phase 3, the vaccine is tried on a much larger group of people to see how well it works.
Because of the serious and worldwide impact(影响) of the novel coronavirus, there is huge pressure to develop a working vaccine quickly.It normally takes seven or more years to develop a safe vaccine that works well.Now drug companies are hoping to create working vaccines in 12 or 18 months.
But health experts also warn that rushing too much could be dangerous.A vaccine with harmful effects could cause more problems than it solves.
(A)1.According to the passage, the scientists who are making vaccines are .
A.hard-working and careful B.patient and easy-going C.kind and curious D.caring and brave
(D)2.How long does it take to create working vaccines in the usual way?

Anger(愤怒) often makes us uncomfortable.Seeing your child's anger can be especially uncomfortable.In order to relieve(缓解) this feeling, parents often encourage children to “stop crying” and say things like “It's nothing to cry about." It's moments like those that plant the seeds of unhealthy anger.The“stop crying” parents are just doing what they were taught by their own parents, who were probably taught that by their parents on and on.However, we should learn how to create healthy anger in our kids.
If a child never sees his or her parents express anger, he or she should never express anger, either.But if parents always express their anger loudly, their child may start to think of anger as something that is always frightening.
The first thing you can do to create healthy anger in your children is to practice creating healthy anger in yourself.Once you're better at experiencing anger and expressing it in a healthy way, you'll be able to set a good example for your kids.
Stopping kids from expressing their feelings is wrong.You may feel bad when you believe you are wrong.When children express their feelings and are told that it's nothing to cry about, they come to know that they themselves are bad.
We need to raise them in an environment where it's safe to express feelings.Once you feel more comfortable with your own anger, you can teach your children why anger is a helpful feeling.When your kids express anger, help them examine what it is that has made them angry.Why did it make them angry? How did it do that? Then, you can teach them that those feelings are never wrong and our expressions of feelings are in our control.
Anger is natural and normal, and it can be experienced and expressed in a healthy way.
(C)1.Why do parents say “It's nothing to cry about" to their children?
A.To encourage them to stop crying.B.To make them uncomfortable.
C.To relieve their anger.D.To plant the seeds of unhealthy anger.
(A)2.From the second paragraph we can infer(推断) .
A.parents have a great influence on their children B.parents should get angry with their children
C.expressing anger loudly is right, not wrong D.children should express their anger like their parents
(B)3.Parents should set a good example for children by .
A.stopping them from expressing their anger B.expressing their own anger in a healthy way
C.letting them know they are right or wrong D.raising them in a safe environment
(D)4.The writer thinks that anger is a kind of feeling that is always .
A.wrong B.uncomfortable C.harmful D.helpful
(C)5.What's the main idea of the passage?
A.Anger often makes us and our children uncomfortable.B.Parents should create healthy anger in themselves.
C.Parents should create healthy anger in their kids.D.Parents should never express their anger.

A number of years ago, a man went to visit a circus(马戏团) in New York.He was able to walk around looking at the lions, monkeys, bears and other circus animals.As he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped.He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg.No chains, no cages.It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn’t try to get away.“Well,” the trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller, we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them.As they grow up, they still believe they can not break away.They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free.”
“How could it be?” said the man.These animals could at any time break free from ropes.But because they were always stuck right where they were, they believed they couldn’t.

Dear David,
How time flies! It's been 3 months since I came to China.I'm having a great time on my student exchange program here.So far, I've completely got used to the life here and have known a lot about traditional Chinese culture.I'd like to share some with you.
In China, there are many different kinds of traditional art forms, such as paper cutting, Chinese clay art and so on.Among them, the kite interests me most.The first ancient Chinese kite appeared more than 2,000 years ago.Then flying kites was spread into Japan, Korea and Malaysia during the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.Kites are regarded as the earliest craft (飞行器).They played an important role in the process of inventing the plane.
Tea culture is important in China.Tea was discovered as a kind of drink by accident about 5,000 years ago.It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries.It didn't appear in England until around 1660.The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century.Now tea has become one of the most popular drinks around the world.
Lastly, I'd like to tell you something about one of the traditional Chinese festivals — the Mid-Autumn Festival.It is on the fifteenth day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar (阴历).Chinese people have been celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for centuries.
If you'd like to know more about traditional Chinese culture, I will talk about it in the next letter.
Best wishes!

Weeks before Tomb-Sweeping Day on April 4 this year, hundreds of qingtuan were sold each day.The snack was still a must-have for many people.
In the southern part of China, eating qingtuan at the beginning of spring is a kind of tradition Chinese people started to eat it more than 2,000 years ago.It is made of sticky rice（糯米)and red bean paste（红豆沙), and is famous for its softness, freshness and sweetness.The secret behind its mouth-watering taste is one of its materials-mugwort leaves（艾蒿叶).The plant is mainly found in the Yangtze River Delta（长江三角洲)where it has perfect conditions to grow.
People in this area usually put qingtuan on the tombs（墓)of their dead family members to cherish the past memory.Making qingtuan is also a chance for family members to get together at home.It really takes time and effort to make the snack.
Now, qingtuan has already spread its special taste to the northern part of China.Li Yuan, a 30-year-old engineer who grew up in Zhejiang Province, brought qingtuan back to Beijing where he works.“It tastes different in and out of my hometown, he said.” There’s no place like home.
Qingtuan has many different tastes inside it, such as apples and bean milk, to meet customers’ tastes.The difference of the taste shows that it’s getting more and more popular across the whole country.
Even though there is warm weather and green leaves in spring, the season wouldn’t be complete without a taste of qingtuan.

（2020·丹东)介绍梦游者的特点、产生的原因以及医生的建议。
Most people think sleepwalkers (梦游者) walking around at night.But in fact, not all sleepwalkers walk.Some only sit up or get out of bed or act like how they often do during the day when they are sleeping! But most sleep walkers do get up and go around for a few seconds or half an hour.
Sleepwalkers' eyes are open, but they don't see the same way as they do during the day, and they often think they are in different rooms of the house or different places.Sleepwalkers usually go back to bed themselves and they don't remember it in the morning.
Scientists say that sleepwalking may sometimes happen when a person is sick, has a fever, is not getting enough sleep, or he has much stress.
There's no medicine for sleepwalking, but here are some ideas from doctors to help sleepwalkers:
·Relax at bedtime by listening to quiet music.
·Go to bed at the same time every day.
·Keep everything quiet when you are trying to sleep.

After leaving school for many years, a group of graduates (毕业生) visited their teacher.All of them complained about problems and stress in their work and life.
The teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large bottle of coffee and many kinds of cups—china (瓷), plastic and glass.He told them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in their hands, the teacher said, “If you noticed, all the nice-looking and expensive cups had been taken, but the simple and cheap ones had been left behind.Although it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source (根源)of your problems and stress.In fact, the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee.it is just a tool to contain (容纳) what we drink.”
What all of them really wanted was coffee, not the cups, but they all went for the best cups.And then they began to watch others' cups.Life is the coffee; jobs, money and the social position are the cups.The cups we have do not change the quality of our life.
Sometimes, if we only pay attention to the cup, we will fail to enjoy the coffee.

（2020，泸州)一个勇敢的男孩
In some parts of Holland the land lies so low that the people have to build great walls of sand and earth, to keep out the sea.These wall are called dykes (堤坝).
Sometimes the water from the sea break down these walls, and then the sea rushes in through the beach, and spreads over the land.
Houses and trees, cows and sheep, have been thus washed away, and many people drowned(溺水).
Once, when a little boy was going home in the evening, he saw a hole in one of the dykes, through which the water was flowing (流出).
His father had often told him that when this happened, unless the water was stopped it would soon make the hole so big that the sea would flow over the land.
At first he thought he would run home and tell his father.But then he said to himself, “It may be dark before father can come, and we shall not be able to find the hole again. Or it may get so large that it will be too late to stop it.I must stay now, and do the best I can alone.”
The brave little boy sat down, and put his hand in the hole, to keep back the water.There he stayed, hour after hour, in the cold and the dark, all through the night!
In the morning, a man came past and saw him.He could not think what the boy was doing there.So he called out to him.
“What are you doing there, my boy?”
“There is a hole in the dyke,” said the boy, “and I am keeping back the water.
Poor little boy! He was so cold and tired that he could hardly speak.
The man came quickly and set him free.He got the hole closed up, and thus the land was saved,—thanks to the brave little Hollander.
(B)1.Who first found the hole in the dyke?
A.The father.   B.The boy.   C.A man.     D.A visitor.
(D)2.Why did the boy stay and stop the hole alone?
A.His father told him to do so. B.He was strong enough to stop it.
C.Ho knew the best way to stop it. D.It would be too late to ask for help.
(C)3.How did the boy try to keep back the water?

C.He sat down with his hand in the hole. D.He got some sand and earth to fill in the hole.
(A)4.When seeing the boy, the man ______.
A.asked him what happened and then closed up the hole B.thought the boy was in good condition
C.closed up the hole with him D.helped him without a word
(D)5.What can be the best title of the text?

In the past, I thought I was terrible at many things, such as math, French and science.Although I was good at drawing, I wasn't the best in my art class. I wanted to find out who I was, what I liked and how I could do it better. So, that winter, I took a notebook and kept my diary.When I filled that notebook. I started another one, and then another.
Keeping a diary helps a lot.Studies have shown that people who keep a diary sleep and feel better. It helps people remember what once happened such as dreams, friendships and happiness.Writing about bad feelings can also help brains get over them and move on.Personally, I learn better about myself and my relationships with others by keeping a diary. For example, when I am fighting with my dad, I'll try writing from his point and it works! If I want to compare myself with my classmates. I'll write something like, "I might not have clear skin, but I like my eyes. "
Right about now, you might be thinking: it sounds great, but I'm not a good writer; or I'd love to keep a diary, but my handwriting is terrible. Don't worry! Keeping a diary is not like doing your homework ﹣there are no rules, so do whatever feels best.

(2020•江西)Irving 完成了独自飞行环游世界的梦想, 来告诉我们, 有了梦想就要努力去追求它, 并实现它。
In 2007, Barrington Irving became the youngest person to fly alone around the world.He was just 23 years old﹣and he built the plane himself.How did he achieve this?
Irving's interest in flying started when he was 15. He was working in his parents' bookstore in Miami,Florida.One of the customers was a pilot,Gary Robinson.One day,Robinson asked Irving if he was interested in flying. Irving didn't think he was smart enough.But the next day, Robinson took Irving to an airport.He showed Irving inside the cockpit(驾驶舱) of a Boeing 777. That experience changed Irving's life.
Irving really wanted to fly,but flight school was expensive. To achieve his dream, he worked different jobs.He washed airplanes and cleaned swimming pools.At home,he practiced flying on a video game.In the end,he got enough money for flight school.
At flight school, Irving achieved his dream of learning how to fly.But he wasn't finished.Next,he planned to build his own plane and fly alone around the world.
Building the plane was difficult.Irving asked more than 50 companies for airplane parts.Most said no,but he persisted(顽强地坚持) in asking.Three years later,he had parts worth $ 300,000.Columbia,an airplane company,agreed to build a plane using the parts.Soon,his airplane was ready to fly.
On March 23,2007,Irving began his round-the-world trip. After 97 days﹣with 145 hours in the air﹣he landed back in Miami.A cheering crowd of people was there to welcome him.
Irving saw many young people in the crowd,and this had a powerful effect(影响) on him.He wanted to use his experience to help other young people achieve their own dreams.
"Everyone told me what I couldn't do,"says Irving."They said I was too young,that I didn't have enough money.But even if no one believes in your dream,"he says,"you have to pursue(追求) it."

(2020•江西)为什么人们喜欢冒险运动。
Some people ski(滑雪) down mountains.Others climb huge rocks or photograph dangerous animals.Why do people enjoy risky activities like these?
Some people take risks simply because it makes them feel good.Psychologist(心理学家)Marvin says that this kind of explorers(探险者) are always looking for change and excitement.When people do something new or risky, a chemical(化学物质) in the brain creates a pleasant feeling.They love this feeling and want to experience it as often as possible.
Other people don't take risks for the feeling of excitement but to achieve a goal.For example, Mike Fay went on a dangerous 2, 000﹣mile special journey in central Africa.He worked to help save the wildlife there.Fay'sexpeditions helped create 13 national parks.
For other people, such as extreme athletes(极限运动员), taking risks is part of their job.Sports psychologist Shane says extreme athletes see the world differently.In a dangerous activity, most people probably do not feel in control.Extreme athletes are different:they feel in control in dangerous situations.The danger can even help them.For example, skier Daron Rahlves says that being afraid makes him try harder to succeed.
Most of us are not extreme athletes or explorers.However, we still take risks in our lives.Some of us take social risks, such as speaking in front of a large group of people.Sometimes, we take financial risks, such as buying a house.And sometimes we take career risks, such as leaving a job or starting a business.Most people take risks in some areas of life, but not in others.What kind of risk﹣taker are you?
(1)What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?　D　
A.The brain. B.Something new. C.A chemical. D.A pleasant feeling.
(2)What does the underlined word "expedition" in Paragraph 3 mean?　D　
A.Much money. B.A journey with a special goal.
C.A great idea. D.A plan for a dangerous journey.
(3)How many kinds of extreme athletes or explorers are mentioned in the passage?　C　
A.Three. B.Four. C.Five. D.Six.
(4)Which of the following is true according to the passage?　C　
A.Mike Fay is a professional risk﹣taker.
B.Most people don't take risks in their daily life.
C.Extreme athletes deal with danger better than others.
D.Daron Rahlves takes risks mainly for change and excitement.
(2020•江西)自然与健康的关系, 以及为了人们的健康很多地方的不同举措。
How do you feel about nature？After spending hours indoors, do you feel better when you visit your local park？Most people think that nature is good for our bodies and brains.However, humans are spending more time inside and less time outside.For example, the number of visitors to Canada's national parks is getting lower every year.And in countries such as the USA, only 10% of teenagers spend time outside every day.Many doctors feel that this is a problem in the twenty-first century.
As a result, some doctors are studying the connection between nature and health:one example of this is the work of Dr Matilda in Sweden.The doctor gave people a maths test.During the test, their heart rates(心率) were fast.After the test, one group of people sat in a 3D-virtual-reality(虚拟现实) room for fifteen minutes with pictures and sounds of nature.Their heart rates were slower than people's in the other group.
The virtual touch with nature helped them feel more relaxed.Another good example of how nature is good for health comes from Canada.In Toronto, researchers studied 31, 000 people living in the city.In general, they found that healthier people lived near parks.
Because of studies like these, some countries and cities want nature to be part of people's everyday life.In Dubai(迪拜), for example, there are plans for a new shopping mall with a large garden so shoppers can relax outside with trees, plants and water.In Switzerland, "forest schools" are popular.Schoolchildren study their subjects in the forests and do lots of exercise outside.And South Korea(韩国) is another good example:it has new forests near its cities and around 13 million people visit these forests every year.So after building cities for so long, perhaps it's now time to start rebuilding nature.
(1)What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about？　D　
A.Teenagers' problem in the 2lst century. B.How much time we spend outdoors.
C.Visiting your local park. D.Feeling about nature.
(2)Match the countries or cities with the information and choose the right answer.　B　
①the USA a.Children study in the forests and do lots of activities outside.
②Dubai b.About 13 million people visit new forests near its cities every year.
③Switzerland c.A new shopping mall with a large garden will be built.

(3)What do the results of the studies show？　C　
A.More and more Canadians will live near parks.
B.The maths test is difficult and makes people nervous.
C.Nature can help people feel more relaxed and be healthier.
D.People's heart rates get slower in a 3D﹣virtual﹣reality room.
(4)What can we infer from the last sentence of the passage？　D　
A.Nature is more important than cities. B.Country life is healthier than city life.
C.People have lived in the cities for so long. D.Nature should be part of people's daily life.

(2020•广东)古尔马沙漠的大象数量逐年在下降, 为了保护大象的生存环境, MEP在07年成立了.在MEP的呼吁下, 越来越多的组织关注大象, 大象的偷猎行为也降到了最低水平, 当地人也学着和大象和平共处.
Once there were many thousands of Gourma Desert (沙漠) elephants in Mali, a country in West Africa.Now.there are fewer than four hundred.
Why did the number of the elephants drop so quickly? On the one hand, the elephants' main lake.their only water source (来源) dried up.On the other hand, the land which the elephants lived on was overused by humans.

Milk.It was Amy’s turn to get it.Amy sighed and shut her first-aid（急救)book.
Amy tied the cow close to a tree.Somewhere down the mountain, some volunteer doctors were teaching medical skills to village nurses.Amy heard Betty dive off hours ago.“She should have taken me with her.She thinks I’m too young.”Amy thought.“But she’s wrong.I am already 15!”

What will astronauts（宇航员)eat when a space trip takes years?
“Lots of fresh vegetables,” says Dr.Janet Williams, whose team have spent the last 10 years learning how to grow plants in a space station.And it’s a good thing that she has already started her work, because space gardening can be really hard.
As usual, astronaut George White looked into the closed plant room.He had planted Dr.Williams’s
quick-growing seedlings in it, but none of the stems were showing.He opened the room to check and found the problem.The stems weren’t growing upward and the roots weren't growing downward.On Earth, gravity（重力)helps a plant’s stems and roots to find “up”and “down”.However, in the space station, there was almost no gravity.
Dr.Williams suggested a solution: give the plants more light, as plants also use sunlight to find their way.And it worked.When the plants had more light, the stems turned up and the roots went down.
Now Dr.Williams was free to worry about the next problem:Would her baby plants live to flower? Can we grow food on a space journey?
Many plants died in the space station.Dr.Williams thought she knew why: the space plants were hungry for air.Plants live by taking up CO2 from the air.Since a plant uses it up in the air around, the plant needs moving air to bring more CO2 close to its surface! On Earth, the air is always moving.Gravity pulls down cold air, and warm air rises.And with these air movements, plants get enough CO2.
Many earlier experiments with plants in space had used closed rooms.Dr.Williams tried a new greenhouse that had a fan to keep the air move.The plants loved it.They flowered and even produced more seeds.Using Dr.Williams's method, astronaut George completed the first seed-to-seed experiment in space, and moved one plant closer to a garden in space.
“And this,” says Dr.Williams, “is good news for long-term space travel.”
41.Why have Dr.Williams’s team tried to grow plants in space?
A.To produce fresh air for astronauts.
B.To help astronauts relax themselves.
C.To provide food for long space journeys.
D.To make the space garden more beautiful.
42.How did light help solve the problem mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A.It caused the gravity to change.
B.It encouraged the plants to grow faster.
C.It helped the plants to grow in the right direction.
D.It showed the astronauts where to plant vegetables.
43.Why did many plants die in the space station?
A.The light was too strong.
B.There was too much CO2.
C.There was not enough room to grow.
D.The air condition was not good enough.
44.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 7 refers to________.
A.the moving air B.the closed room C.the space journey D.the space garden
45.What can we learn about Dr.Williams’s team from the passage?
A.They mainly live on fresh vegetables.
B.They have successfully built a space garden.
C.They invented a special fan for their greenhouse.
D.They have worked on space gardening for many years.

（2020•自贡)介绍了太空航行从小说逐步变为现实.
When it comes to long,distance space travel,the biggest,problem is that spaceships can only get as far as the fuel on board allows. In 1964,a British writer Clarke came up with the idea of "solar sailing" in his science fiction. He wrote of large,mirror﹣like sails that collect power from the sun and free spaceships from the limitation of fuel.
This sci﹣fi idea was first successful brought to reality（现实) in 2010 by Japan's IKAROS satellite.Ever since then,the technology has improved mission by mission,with the latest being NASA's Advanced Composite Solar Sail 3（ACS3). NASA has recently announced that it's going to team up with Lithuania's satellite﹣building company NanoAvionics to test its new sail-in low-Earth orbit.
To many,a solar sail（太阳帆) may look like a giant solar panel（太阳能电池板),but it actually works very differently.While solar panels take in energy from the sun and change it into power,solar sails use photons(光子) given off by the sun to create direct power. Besides,solar panels are big and heavy to carry,while solar sails are just the opposite.
According to Abbott,the CEO of NanoAvionics,the upcoming low-Earth orbit trial with NASA,if successful,will be followed with deep﹣space missions that involve larger solar sails.These are ideal for low﹣cost and long﹣distance space travel because fuel will no longer be a problem.
"It started as a sci-fi dream，" Popular Mechanics reporter Jennifer Leman wrote. "Now it could be the future of space flight."
1.What can we say about solar sailing according to the first two paragraphs？
A. It was widely used in space travel. B. It was tried by IKAROS satellite.
C. It was from the creative idea by Clarke.
2.Which of the following words best describe solar sails compared with solar panels？
A. Big and heavy. B.Small and light.C. Powerful and large.
3.What does the underlined word These in paragraph 4 refer to？
À. Larger solar sails.B. Deep-space missions.C. Long-distance space flights.
4.What is the best title for the text？
A. Solar Sail： the Latest Technology B. Solar Sail： from Dream to Reality
C. Solar Sail： a New Kind of Spaceship

（2020•达州)以《道德经》为例，并简要阐述了其伟大思想。
Traditional Chinese culture is catching the world’s eyes.The good traditional Chinese culture is our great treasure.President Xi Jinping says we should have a high of culture confidence.There are so many great works in the course of Chinese history such as Di Zi Gui,Lun Yu,Meng Zi and so on.Xi Jinping and other leaders often borrow some wonderful sentences from them.Dao De Jing is also one of them.

Dao means "the Way".It doesn’t tell us how to choose the right way, but it really shows that one should act through naturalness and non-action.
Naturalness refers to a natural state of being, an attitude of following the way of nature.Lao Zi thought that everything in the world has its own way of being and developing.Birds fly in the sky; Tigers live in the forest; Fish swim in the water; Flowers bloom and flowers fall.He gave advice to the people who have strong feelings to control the world.He said they should give up the desires(欲望).
Non-action(无为) does not mean that one should do nothing but passively wait for something to be achieved.What he meant is that human should follow the way of nature and try not to break the rule of nature.
De means“Virtue（德行)”.Lao zi thought the great virtue is like water.And he thinks nothing in the world is weaker than water, yet nothing is stronger than water when it comes.It can nearly destroy everything strong.In ancient China, there is also a saying, water can hold the boat, it can also make the boat turn upside down.Water is a typical(典型的) example of the weak beating the strong.
Of course, there are many other wonderful things we can learn from the book.Today, Dao de Jing still plays a role in the development of Chinese thoughts.It is becoming more and more popular with people around the world.
31.According to Dao De Jing, which picture shows an attitude of breaking the way of nature?

（2020•达州)（东西方文化差异)讲述了来自英国的作者在中国的商店买东西时经历的事情让她体会到东西方人对于肤色的不同审美。 9U10
I remember a time I went shopping on my first visit to Hong Kong.Coming from cold and cloudy England, I prepared for the sun and dressed in a T-shirt and a short skirt.Not having many chances to enjoy the sun in the UK, my legs were very white.In the UK, this is not a fashionable look at all.Most women spend every sunny day out in the sun trying to get darker skin.The darker the skin is, the better the look is.I have tried to get darker but nothing works for me!
As I walked around one shop, two shop girls didn’t take their eyes off me the whole time, talking quietly to each other in Chinese.I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave.After we left the shop, she asked me what was wrong.I complained（抱怨) about the shop girls being very rude and always looking at my legs.I was embarrassed that they were talking about my white skin.My friend laughed, “they weren’t laughing at you.They were saying how nice your legs are.Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours.In fact, there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin white and a lot of money is spent on them."
It just goes to show that we are never happy with what we have.The grass is always greener on other side.If the woman of the west and east thought the same way, western women wouldn’t spend so much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the east wouldn’t need to use cream that makes skin whiter.

（2020•南充)介绍了从古至今人们都使用何种方法来知晓时间，并对这些方法进行了大概的说明.
How do we know the time?A clock,a watch or a mobile phone can help us.However,many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy.Over the centuries,people have developed different ways of telling the time.
About 5,500 years ago,the Egyptians invented the sun clock.This was a tall stone building.It's shadow(影子) showed the movement of the sun.So people were able to know midday.The Egyptians made a sundial about 3,500 years ago.It was smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day.On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial.Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple.Water flows(流动)from one bottle to another.When the water reaches a certain level,it shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago.These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time.
In the 13th century,the mechanical clock was invented.This was more exact，but it was expensive to make one.Over the next few centuries it was developed.For example,springs(发条)were added around 1500.This enabled people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller.In 1927,the first quartz clock was developed.Clocks became cheaper to build.It’s also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run businesses,markets and so on.More recently,in 1956,came the digital clock.And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second.
There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping.Clocks are always changing but some things never change.Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work.

（2020•乐山)（5G网络)介绍了5G网络的便捷，同时指出5G网络在娱乐，交通以及智能家庭方面给人们生活带来的改变。
Do you know 5G? It is the fifth generation（代)of mobile network technology.These new networks are coming.
China just issued commercial licenses（发放商用牌照)for 5G on June 6, 2019.This means that China's telecom companies will be able to offer 5G networks for mobile phone users.
Each mobile network generation is faster and more powerful than the one before it.1G let us talk to each other.2G let us send messages.3G gave us data（数据)and the Internet.And 4G made all of these things faster.What's special about 5G?
5G has a very short delay between sending and receiving information.Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds（毫秒)to send and receive data.But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond or less-this is almost real-time.
'This big change will not only make our mobile Internet faster，but also deeply change our lives.Read on to find out how.

Also, virtual reality（VR)games will become more popular with 5G.The short delay of 5G will make the games feel even more real.
5G + transport
5C will also bring us safer self-driving cars.These cars can send signals（信号)to each other.They also talk to traffic lights and road sensors（传感器).5G will allow cars to react（反应)even faster than human drivers.
5G + smart homes
5G also makes the Internet of things possible.Internet of things is a large network that connects everything to the Internet.Smart homes are part of it.
For example, your toaster can automatically（自动地)start making breakfast after your alarm rings.And if its sensor feels the air becoming dry, a smart sprinkler（洒水器)could water your plants by itself.

（2020•宜宾)（鱼的记忆达12天)本文章是一篇科普知识类阅读,主要讲述了以前人们都认为鱼类的记忆只能保持7秒钟,但是实验表明其实它们可以有长达12天的记忆,要比以前人们想的更聪明
It's a common belief that fish can't remember anything for longer than seven seconds.It may seem sad to think that every moment in their lives would be like seeing the world for the first time.But don't be so quick to feel sorry for them.A new study has found that fish have much better memories than we used to think.
In the study, researchers from Mac Ewan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food.They took the fish out and then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again.They found that after such a long break the fish sill went to the same place where they first got food.
In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory.But there was no clear evidence until the latest findings.
Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild.“If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains(容纳) safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives in danger,” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.
So nest time you are watching your pet fish from outside the tank, perhaps you should feel close to them-they may remember who you are.
1.We often feel sorry for fish because __________.
A.they have bad memories B.they can't remember anything
C.they are often used for research D.every moment in their lives is new
2.Why did the researchers carry out the research?
A.To know if fish can find food easily. B.To find out if fish have better memories.
C.To tell us fish can live for days without water. D.To show fish can live long without eating things.
3.What does the underlined word "tank" in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.A kind of fish food. B.A kind of hiding place.
C.A container for holding water. D.A container for keeping fish.
4.Which is true according to Trevor Hamilton?
A.Fish know where to get food. B.It's easy for fish to live in the wild.
C.A good memory can make fish safer in the wild. D.Fish are often in danger when they look for food.
5.Where does this article probably come from?
A.A story book. B.A science magazine. C.A news report. D.A travel book.

（2020•绵阳)人生就像是一场比赛。不论输赢，都要有一个好的姿态。
Life is competitive-some kids can do something faster or better than other kids.This might not seem fair, but all people are different and how well you can do something is different to others.This means there are "winners"and "losers", and lots of people are neither winners nor losers but in-between.You can choose to be a good winner or an even better loser whether you are competing against others or yourself.
Being a"good"winner
No one likes a "show off".
No one likes someone who takes all the praise for the efforts of a team.
No one likes people who put others down to make themselves look good.
To be a good winner you need to:
◆Be modest（谦虚的).
◆Thank those who helped you for their efforts.
◆Keep trying to improve your sills
◆Aim for the next step up in whatever you are doing well.
Being an even better loser
Of course it's disappointing to lose,especially if you are close to winning.Behaving badly or angrily,name-calling and going on about things being"unfair" won't change the final result and will only make you look like a bad sport.And no one likes bad sport either.


To be an even better loser you need to:
◆Behave politely, nicely and kindly.
◆ Congratulate the other team.
◆ keep any negative（消极的)thoughts to yourself—at least until you are away from the game.
It’s OK to let out your negative thoughts to your best friend or parents later.And if you don't do very well in a game,try harder to learn for the next one.Improving yourself makes you a winner too.


1. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. We are either losers or winners.
B. We should face winning and losing properly.
C. We can do nothing about winning and losing.
D. We are always competing with others not ourselves.
2. What should a better loser do when losing?
A. Let out his anger to his parents at once.
B. Express his negative feelings in the game.
C.Try harder to improve himself in the next game.
D.Behave badly to his team members or competitors.
3.Which one is not proper if we succeed?
A.Going on improving our skills
B.Telling our team members to aim higher.
C.Thanking our team members for their efforts.
D.Putting down others to make ourselves look good.
4.Who is probably a bad sport?
A.Tom keeps saying the game is unfair when he loses.
B.Jim encourages his teammates after their team loses.
C.Anna thanks her coach for what he has done though she fails.
D.Cindy shows her congratulations to other competitors even if she fails.

Terrible weather events are harming the planet,and experts warn of even greater results to come.The sea ice loss and the Arctic ice melting（融化)caused by climate change have increased much in the last ten years.So they have pushed down the number of polar bears and seals while polar bears depend on sea ice for hunting seals.
According to the data from the WMO,temperatures on the Antarctica（南极洲)just hit 18.3℃,which is higher than the record of 17.5℃ in March,2015.Moreover,temperatures in this area have warmed about 3℃ over the last 50 years.Although such temperatures might be considered pleasant for a picnic or a hiking trip, this is the Antarctica we are talking about.It is home to the most inhospitable environment on the planet because it is supposed to be an extremely cold place.In fact,the average temperature of the continent's central area is -57℃.
Besides, many places are experiencing the extreme weather this summer.Australia is undergoing its worst drought（干旱) since the 1930s,leaving bushfires burning so long and causing many deaths.Meanwhile in Europe, crops in the northwest are suffering the driest weather in the past 80 years.Recently West Texas in America has also gone through its worst drought in more than 70 years, while floods have hit Eastern and Southern China.
"Climate change is bad for us human beings, which causes direct health problems.I'm afraid there will be more common events like the one that 30,000 to 50,000 persons died in Europe in 2003 due to the heat wave there,"Professor Schwartz said."It will also cause more air pollution, diseases and lack of clean water and so on."

（2020•成都)（古诗鉴赏)杜甫 的《春夜喜雨》解读这首诗

Happy Rain on a Spring Night
Good rain knows its time right; O'er wild lanes dark cloud spreads;
It will fall when comes spring. In boat a lantern looms.

With wind it steals in night; Dawn sees saturated reds;
Mute, it moistens each thing. The town's heavy with blooms.

Translated by Xu Yuanchong
Du Fu












This famous poem, with four couplets, was written by Du Fu(712-770, Tang Dynasty)when he was living and farming in Chengdu.His farming experience taught him to be thankful to nature.
The very first word, "good", shows the poet's joy and love for the spring rain.The rain is good because it "knows" the proper time to come.Here the poet uses personification, as if the rair were smart enough to come in time for the farmer's busy season.
When the rain comes, it appears during the night without making any noise.Unlike the summer storms, the spring rain finishes its task without being known.
In the third couplet, the poet describes a peaceful scene to us.In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy.It's a sign that there will be enough rain during the night.The light from the riverboat makes the dark scene a bit livelier.
Lastly, the poet starts to imagine.Tomorrow morning, he thinks, the city of Chengdu will be-come beautiful when all of the flowers bloom(盛开)after the rain.

New Way to Recycle
When Shanghai introduced a new garbage-sorting policy in July last year, the city's residents(居民)took some time to get used to it.They joked that every time they took out their garbage, the staff(工作人员)standing by the bins would ask "What kind of garbage are you?"
Starting on May 1, Beijing joined many Chinese cities by introducing a new garbage- sorting policy, People's Daily reported.Residents should sort their garbage into four groups kitchen, recyclable, hazardous(有害的)and other waste.
These groups are represented(代表)by four different colors of trash bins—green, blue, red and grey.Those who fail to sort their trash correctly may face fines of up to 200 yuan, Xinhua reported.
The way Beijing sorts its trash sounds different from others like Shanghai and Qingdao.These cities use for different groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.Although their names are different, the groups are actually the same.Wet garbage in Shanghai is, in fact, kitchen garbage.And dry garbage is the same as other waste.China Daily reported.
To help residents sort their trash correctly, the Beijing government is offering online guidelines.If people don't know how to throw away garbage, they can search for it on the WeChat account Guanchenglish(管城理事) to find out.By searching a key word or taking a photo, people can immediately find out which group their waste belongs to.

（2020•遂宁)（科技，未来生活)

What’s going to happen in the future? Will robots control our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely.But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10---30 years from now, according to the BBC.
Bionic（仿生的)Eyes
They are no longer something, only in a science fiction movie.People who are blind may have a chance to see things clearly------by wearing bionic eyes.
A blind eye can no longer sense sight, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send information to the mind.Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes.A bionic eye with very clear pictures could be just in a few years away.
Digital Money
We used to pay with cash for everything we bought.Now we can use Wechat Pay or Alipay to shop, money is spent without seeing it.That means we are already using digital money.People only need to take a mobile phone wherever they go.Using these ways is much easier than searching our pockets for change.It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.
It is reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be the next Self--driving Cars
Unlike a human driver, a self-driving car won’t be influenced by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window.Sensors（探测器)and cameras on the car would allow it to follow the rules of the road strictly and keep a safe space from other cars.This would greatly make the number of road accidents smaller.You can even take a short rest while the car drives itself.In the future, driverless cars would be widely accepted.
66.Which of the following payments is not mentioned in this passage?
A.Cash B.Wechat Pay C.Alipay D.Credit card
67.Bionic eyes send information to the___________.
A.mind B.camera C.computer D.heart
68.From the report, we can learn some information about___________.
A.industry and farming B.traffic and journey
C.science and technology D.culture and art
69.The passage tells us that___________.
A.bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction films
B.the blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future
C.self---driving cars will be influenced by something outside
D.there will be no accidents at all if self---driving cars are used
70.We can infer（推断)that___________ from the passage.
A.there would be a number of self-driving cars on the road
B.robots would control the world
C.the blind could use glasses to see things around
D.we would live a hard life with digital money

An Experiment Report on Growing Potato Plants
Things prepared：
*a potato that has sprouts
*a flower pot with soil
*a camera to record progress
Observation：
Day One
The color of the soil looks darker because I have just watered it.In the center of the pot, I can see a tiny sprout that has grown from the potato under the soil.I'll call it Buddy.Buddy is green and yellow.I wonder how fast it will grow.
Day Six
Without much change in the past six days, I finally see some new progress on Buddy as it has grown taller. It's exciting to see new life like this. I hope Buddy can grow faster.
Day Eleven
Buddy is getting larger! Three more new sprouts have grown around Buddy! Green leaves have grown on the new sprouts, but they have not fully grown yet.I guess I need to be a bit more patient.
Day Thirteen
Buddy continues to grow taller.The leaves on the new sprouts have grown a bit.I'm also excited to see more new sprouts that have grown from under the soil.
Day Fifteen
Finally, the leaves on the other sprouts are 3 cm tall.They're so green.I hope they will soon grow into new potatoes.
What I have learned
It's really interesting to grow potatoes. During these fifteen days, I have learned that growing potato plants needs plenty of water. If the soil is dry, the potato will fail to grow.I have also learned that the temperature needs to be right.If it is too cold, it won't grow.
 I feel that growing plants is just like trying to succeed with anything in life—it takes not only time, but also lots of efforts and patience.

In the town of Lampang in northern Thailand, there is an unusual group of musicians.They play many different kinds of music—from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven.Both children and adults love this group. What makes them so popular? Is it their music? Their looks? Yes, it's both of these things, but it's also something else：they're elephants.
These musical elephants are from the Thai Elephant Conservation Center(TECC) in Lampang.The TECC protects elephants.It teaches people to understand and care for these huge, but gentle, animals.And, like many zoos around the world, the TECC encourages elephants to paint.
Richard Lair works with the TECC.He knew that elephants hear better than they see.So he had an idea：if elephants are intelligent and they have good hearing, maybe they can play music.To test this idea, Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra.During a performance, the elephants play a variety of instruments, including the drums and the xylophone.The animals also use their voices and trunks to make sounds.
But can elephants really make music properly? Yes, says Lair.They're very creative. Humans may encourage the animals to play instruments, but the elephants make their own songs; they don't just copy their trainers or other people.There are now CDs of the group's music, which make money for the TECC.And the music these artists create is pretty amazing.

A.Musical Elephants

（2020•陕西)短文主要介绍了语言中的习语。
People use languages to communicate.Any language has its ways to express people's minds.One of the ways in common is the use of idioms.An idiom is a group of words.It has a special meaning that is different from the usual meaning.For example, under the weather is an idiom meaning ill.So when people say "I'm under the weather,” they are saying that they're not feeling well.Another example, in all weathers means in all kinds of weather.So, "There are homeless people sleeping on the streets in all weathers" tells us that homeless people sleep on the streets no matter whether it is cold or hot.
Different languages may have different ways to make idioms.For people who are learning a foreign language，idioms could cause misunderstandings and bring them endless headaches.On the other hand, if things are done right, idioms can also be a fun way of looking into a new culture and understanding how the people think and talk.
Metaphor (比喻) is often used in idioms.Let's read the following two examples:
• I makes my blood boil (煮沸) when people litter.
• The night was dark and quiet; my blood ran cold when I heard a strange noise outside at dark night.
In neither situation above, our blood can reach the point so high or so low in temperature.Yet, with the situations the two sentences created, it is not difficult to work out the unhappy feelings of really angry in the first example and very afraid in the second.
Of course, not all idioms are this easy to understand.When we come to idioms of a foreign language, a good dictionary of idioms is always suggested.
1.This passage tells us something about in the English language.[D]
A.grammar B.writing C.reading D.idioms
2.If your brother breaks your computer, you can say to him, " ." [C]
A.I'm under the weather B.I'm there in all weather
C.You've made my blood boil. D.My blood runs cold
3.What is the writer's advice when you come to an expression like under the weather? [A]
A.We should look it up an a good idiom dictionary.
B.We should try to express our minds with it.
C.We should find an interesting way to learn it.
D.We should create situation to guess its meaning.

In modern China, the hanfu lovers are from history fans, cartoon fans to clothes fans.

This was because China had 22 percent of the world's population,but only 7 percent of its farmland.In the 1960s,China suffered (遭受) serious hunger.Millions of people died because they had no food.As an agronomy (农学) teacher, Yuan was very sad to see this. "How can I help them have enough food？" he thought.He decided to work on a kind of hybrid rice.It has a high output (产量).
At that time,other scientists didn't think hybrid rice was worth studying. But Yuan and his team worked on it every day. They took very good care of their rice seeds.
At last,in 1973,they grew a new kind of hybrid rice. This rice is strong. Farmers can grow it in many different kinds of farmland and also in bad weather. It can also fight disease. Its output was much greater than common kinds of rice. With the new kind,about 70，00000 people could have food every year!
Yuan solved the food problem in China.But he is still working on rice.Before he retires (退休)，he hopes to grow rice in the sea!

Last week, some German parents who took their kids out of school early were stopped by the police at the airport.The police were making reports on students who didn't have permission(许可) to miss school.
Like many places, it is against the law to skip (不参加) school in Germany.Children over the age of 9 can t miss class without permission from the school.But during busy travel times, some parents take their children out of school early to save money on vacations.People can often save a lot of money on flights and hotels by going at a different time than others.
Last weekend was the beginning of an important holiday period in Germany.People in charge of the schools asked the police to check and make sure that students weren't leaving for vacations before they were allowed to.
Police officers at three German airports looked for families with school-aged children.When they found them, the police pulled the families out of lines to talk with them.They wanted to find out if the parents had permission for the children to be out of school.If the children did not have permission, the police reported the families to their schools and to the government.In all, the police reported about 20 families.
These families will have two weeks to show that it was okay for their children to miss school.If they can't, they may have to pay as much as $1,200 as a fine (罚款)，or receive some other punishment.
Germany is not the only place where parents have to pay fines if their children miss school.Many other countries and many of the states in the U.S.have similar laws.
The good news is that the families were allowed to go on vacation after they talked to the police.But they might have a big bill waiting for them when they get back.

23.（2020•云南)本文主要介绍了长时间观看屏幕对人体的害处。
It might be fun to use your smartphone, but be careful.Too much screen time may be harmful to your health.
First, it is bad for your eyes.A researcher called Sarah Hinkley says the problem comes from the blue light that the screen gives out.Looking at a smartphone for a long time can cause eye strain(劳损), headaches and dry eyes.So it is a good idea to take a break every 15 minutes when you are working at a computer or using a smartphone.
Second, screen use can do harm to children's brains.A new study shows that using screens too much can affect(影响) how children's brains grow.If children use screens for more than one hour a day, they might have lower levels of white matter in their brains.White matter is a key to the development of language and reading skills.So it is wise to cut down the time of children using all kinds of screens.
Third, using screens too much will affect your sleep.According to a study, about 95% of the people between the ages of 13 and 64 use electronics before bed, especially the young people under 20.Doctors say that the light from those electronics at night may make you excited before you go to bed.Then it's hard for you to get enough sleep.So you'd better turn off smartphones, TVs, and all other screens an hour before your bedtime.
To keep healthy, doctors and researchers strongly advise that you shouldn't use screens for long hours.

When Claire Vlases of Montana was in Grade 7, she learned about plans to modernize her middle school.Claire asked the school board（董事会)to add solar panels to the project because, she explained, clean energy would be helpful to a really modern school.

The board liked the idea but said it could offer just $ 25,000-one-fifth of the cost.So Claire organized a group of kids and grown-ups who set to work raising the rest.They sold their second-hand books, put on talent shows and asked for donations（捐赠), even going door-to-door for them.One donated more than half the cost!
After two years of hard work, the group paid for the solar panels, which now provide one-fourth of the school's electricity needs-saving the neighborhood thousands of dollars."My favorite part about this project was that one person could start something small and then the project could grow and have a big influence on the community," Claire said."There are always going to be hard parts.When there's a challenge（挑战)presented to you, you can learn from it and use it as chance to overcome it."

（2020•福建)关于嫦娥四号登月器的一次成功实验的相关情况。
（2020•福建)D
From tiny seeds（种子), great discoveries grow.A mini-garden carried on China's Chang'e 4 moon lander recently became home to the first plant to grow on another world.

This is yet another success for Chang'e 4.On January 2, the probe（探测器)became the first lander to touch down on the far side of the moon.This is the unknown face of the moon that is always looking away from us, so we never see it from down here on the earth.Although it is often regarded as the dark side of the moon, the far side actually gets as much sunshine as the near side.For example, when all we can see is a silver sliver of a new moon, the far side of the moon is in full sunlight.
Part of Chang'e 4's mission（使命)is to see how a moon base could be built for humans, including exploring（探索)whether humans could grow food and other plant products there.Chang'e 4 carried a mini-garden with air, water and soil with seeds planted in it.When plants shoot on the earth, their stems grow away from the gravity（the force that keeps your feet on the ground), and so they always shoot upwards.The moon's gravity is a sixth as strong as the earth's, so Chang'e 4's experiment was a test: would the earth plants know which way was up on the moon? Four days after landing, a tiny cotton shoot showed that they do.
Night has now fallen on the far side of the moon; sunlight will not return until the start of February.As a result, the cotton shoots died.Besides the darkness, the plants can't stand the cold（it can drop to -170C on the moon at night).However, the experiment is a success, since it has proved that it is possible for plants to grow in space.
（ )61.The text is mainly about ________.
A.another success for Chang'e 4 B.Chang'e 4 moon lander
C.tiny seeds in the soil D.the steps of an experiment
（ )62.Which of the following is TRUE about Chang'e 4?

A.the far side of the moon gets less sunlight
B.we can see the far side of the moon from the earth
C.the stems fail to grow away from the earth's gravity
D.the earth plants know the way to grow on the moon
（ )64.What can be inferred（推理)from the text?

（2020•深圳）青少年及儿童娱乐性阅读时间变短这一现象，并提出了相关的建议。
Teens and kids are reading a lot less for fun, according to a recent report.
Although the decline(下降)in the past ten years is very surprising for teen readers, some data (数据) in the report shows that reading is still a big part of many children’s lives.
According to the report, the number or teens who hardly read has gone up from 8 percent to 25 percent today. The report data shows that kids’ reading ability remains almost the same. However, the amount of reading time has fallen, from about an hour every day to half an hour.
As for children’s e-reading, the report mentions little about its effects. But it says that many parents choose to control the time spent on e-books, mainly because they are worried about the increased screen time. After all, it is important to protect their kids’ eyes.
The most helpful part in the report is parents’ effects on their children. It shows that parents are examples and important guides for them in reading. If parents read more and find more time to read with their children, it turns out that their children actually read more often.
As summer vacation arrives, parents might take this chance to step in, make a reading list and enjoy the pleasant family reading time.

The traditional Chinese calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. In China, the 24 solar terms were created thousands of years ago to guide agricultural（农业的）production. But solar term culture is still useful today to guide people’s lives through cultural activities and special foods that go with each term.

The ship will finally be pulled out of the port and burned at sea. People believe that is a symbol of good harvests and health.
Great Heat is a season with most crickets（蟋蟀）in the countryside. Cricket fighting is popular game for some people in China during this period. The custom dates back over 1,000 years ago.

13.（2020•江苏镇江）儿子要去德国留学，父亲表达自己对儿子深深的爱。

In a few hours Sam would be flying to Germany. We looked at each other but s t no sound broke the silence of my beach-side house.
Such a moment was not the first time for me. On Sam’s first day of kindergarten（幼儿园）, I felt his stress when holding his hand. He looked at me-as he did now. But I said nothing till the school bus came. About ten years later, I drove him to the college. He was sick but I didn’t know then. I thought he was just too tired. I tried to think of something to say as he would start a new period of life. Again, _______.
Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those opportunities we parents all let pass. A boy graduates from school, a daughter gets married. We seldom find a quiet moment to tell them what they have meant to us. Or what they might face in the future.
Sam was weak when he was born but grew into a strong boy. Then he became the best baseball player in high school. His finest moment came when he got the first prize at a science fair. I was sorry he gave up his athletic talent, but proud that later he chose English literature. One day, I told Sam I regretted never traveling abroad to know better about the world before working. Sam a decided to learn German in Berlin, even though his friends thought it meaningless.
The night before he was to leave, I failed to say any words again. Maybe, I thought, it wasn’t necessary to say anything.
What does it matter if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? But as I stood before Sam, I knew it does matter. My father and I loved each other. However, I always regretted never hearing him put his feelings into words.
“Sam,” I said, “if I could have picked, I would have picked you.” I wasn’t sure he understood what I meant. Sam came towards me and threw his arms around me, saying “thank your”. My eyes misted over（模糊）. Then, the moment ended, and Sam left home.
That was seven weeks ago, and now I think about him when I walk along the beach near my home on weekends. Thousands of miles away Sam might be busy walking in the street of Berlin.
What I had said to Sam was not new. It was nothing. But, it was everything.
（adapted from Words from a Father）
1. Which of the following can be put at the end of Paragraph 2?___A____
A. I failed to say a word B. his illness worried me
C. I decided to go abroad D. his growth satisfied me
2. When Sam heard “if I could have picked, I would have picked you”, he might feel___D____.
A. stressed B. sad C. calm D. excited

C. A son should take his father’s suggestion.
D. A son should respect his father’s decision.

（2020•江苏镇江）“付费知识”产业的兴起与存在的问题。

Have you ever paid for educational podcasts （播客）or live videos? Ask some people and most of them will say yes. “Pay-for-knowledge” has been more and more fashionable these years. The contents of these “pay-for-knowledge” products are from language learning to gardening or baby-caring. Everything you think of can be found online at this moment. “Pay-for-knowledge” is on the rise（兴起）.
Why is “pay-for-knowledge” industry developing so rapidly? First, its development is based on the Internet. With a fast network and a smartphone, anyone who has passed the identity（身份） check can be an online teacher, and anyone with an online account can buy “pay-for-knowledge” products that he or she wants at an affordable price. Second, people are afraid to miss any information. On one hand, people hope for more useful information. On the other hand, such information is usually at the hands of experts （专家） who serve well-known companies and universities. Moreover, the need to learn new skills in today’s job market also pushes people to learn on such educational podcasts.
The industry of “pay-for-knowledge” has proved to be lucrative. It promises possibilities of turning information into money. It is good for the development of our country and it can help sellers make lots of money. Besides, buyers can enjoy self-growth from it. What’s more, this is a reflection（反映）of respect for knowledge and talents.
However, the rapid development of “pay-for-knowledge” has a few problems. For one thing, the market is full of eye-catching words such as “How to be an Industry’s Expert in 5 Hours” and “15 Classes to Be a Master of Appreciating （欣赏） Classical Music”, which sound like if you pay for it, you are sure to succeed. For another, a large number of customers buy them Just for showing off. In fact, those who have really had self-growth after buying online courses may be the kind of people who need them least. In other words, with or without these courses, they can make it anyway, because they are those who have the ability to learn by themselves.
In general, the best is the one that suits you most. “Pay-for-knowledge” may be used as a good start for self-growth. Be careful! Otherwise, your dream of success may not come true.
1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?___B____
A. “Pay-for-knowledge” products can help all the people succeed.

2. What can we learn about “pay-for-knowledge” industry from Paragraph 2?___D____
A. The history of its development. B. The problems of its products.
C. The advantages of its products. D. The causes of its rise.
3. The underlined phrase “be lucrative” in Paragraph 3 means “______A______”.

4. The main purpose of this passage is to_____C_____.

Going to a friend’s house is very exciting. You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he or she lives. So remember to be polite.

All of us live in one world. While we are eating food, drinking water, wearing clothes, watching TV, using computers and so on, we are producing waste every moment. When we finish reading a newspaper, the paper will become waste. When TV sets or computers are broken, they will become electronic waste.
Plastic bags are often used in our everyday life. The number of used plastic bags is increasing day by day. We like to use plastic bags because they are convenient. When we get home, we throw the plastics away. These are called “white pollution” as most plastics are white. Rubber is also common in our daily life. Many of our products are made of rubber,just like the tyres (轮胎) and the bottom part of our shoes. It’s true that rubber plays an important role in our life. However, it also brings us some trouble when it has been used for a long time. The old rubber pollutes environment very badly because it can’t break down easily in nature—it will stay unchanged for a long time. This is really a big problem all over the world.
Everyone should play a part in saving our world. For example, when we go shopping, we can bring cloth bags instead of plastic ones. And we should do something to recycle rubber. Our small actions can make a difference and lead to a better future.

These days, teenagers are heavily influenced by the media.Many of them have watched thousands of hours of TV.That's more time than they spend with teachers at school.And we haven't yet considered the hours they spend using the Internet and reading newspapers.
However, several studies have shown a serious problem: today's teenagers lack media literacy（媒体素养).In other words, they have difficultly critically thinking about the information they see.One study that was done on middle school students showed that more than 80 percent of them couldn't tell the difference between real stories and ads that looked like news.
Standford professor Kevin John teaches a class called Media Effects.He tries to help his students learn media literacy.The professor gave an example that shows why media literacy is important.In the example, two news stations report a snowstorm.One focuses on（关注)the terrible road conditions.The other focuses on kids playing in the snow.“With a news story.news stations tell you what they feel are the important details（细节).These details mostly depend on the opinions of the news director.” said John.“A person who has media literacy would realize that each story is about one side at this time.There is more going on.”
Some experts think shoe is the best place to teach media literacy.Other believe everyone—form parents to reporters—should help teenagers learn the skills.
As for the best time to start learning media literacy, many experts suggest the age of 12.But some basic ideas can be taught even earlier.“It’s never too early to start learning media literacy,” John said.
（ B )49.From the first paragraph, we can learn that teenagers today spend more time ______.
A.using the Internet than watching TV
B.watching TV than studying at school

People say laughter is the best medicine, but sometimes too much of a good thing may not be so good.What happened to me last night made me deeply understand the meaning of that.

When time finally came to get ready for work, I realized that I simply couldn't go to the office like that.I decided to call my boss for leave, but laughing was the only thing I could do on the phone.
After listening to my "lovely" laughter for a few minutes, my boss couldn't help shouting angrily, "Are you mad? You're fired(解雇)!"
Suddenly I woke up.Thank God! I just had a dream.

4.(2020•重庆A卷)本文介绍了Nejat, 以及她所设计的主要用于照顾老人的机器人, 并对机器人进行了说明。
When Goldie Nejat began developing robots in 2005, she spent much of her time knocking on doors to let people know how her robots worked but few showed interest."But now, it's different, "says Nejat, "People calling from around the world ask when my robots are going to be ready."
Nejat's robots are designed to fill an increasing need:care-giving for the old.The population of the people over age 80 will be 426 million in 2050, three times larger than that now.
Such robots could be especially useful for patients with Alzheimer's disease(老年痴呆症).They can help with everyday activities from preparing food to reminding(提醒)the patients of taking their medicine.They can also play games with patients to keep them active.
Some have worried that care-giving robots might reduce(减少) human interaction(互动)and cause more humans to lose their jobs."But the aim is to support human care, not to take the place of it, " says Brian Scassellati. He has tested robots with different patients, and found that daily interaction with robots can help children with autism spectrum disorder(自闭症障碍)improve social skills.
As a field grows, scientists aim to understand human-robot relationships better.Do robots offer advantages because they don't have feelings and don't give opinions? Will patients lose interest?
"One thing is clear, " Scassellati says, "Robots can provide care for the customers and the need for that will increase in the future."
( C )1.Nejat's robots are designed to　 　.
A.work in the factory
B.make phone calls
C.take care of the old
D.knock on doors
( B )2.The writer starts the passage by　 　.
A.telling two stories
B.comparing two facts
C.raising a question
D.giving an example
( A )3.The main idea of Paragraph 3 is　 　.
A.what the robots can do
B.what serious problems the robots cause
C.what the old people can do
D.what the old people think of the robots
( C )4.According to Scasellati, we can infer that Nejal's robots　 　.
A.will have feelings soon
B.can take the place of humans
C.should be produced more
D.won't give their own opinions

5.(2020•重庆A卷)本文主要讲述了由华佗发明的五禽戏, 它通过模仿五种动物的动作来达到强身健体的作用, 也对其功能和特点进行了说明。
"Humans can develop certain abilities we aren't born with by practicing animals' movements, " the traditional Chinese Wushu lovers believed in the past—and still do today.
Chinese Five-Animal Exercises, also known as Wuqinxi, are the first complete set of qigong exercises following the movements of animals:monkeys, deer(鹿), birds, bears and tigers.They were created by one of the greatest doctors in Chinese history, Hua Tuo, more than 1,800 years ago.
The Five-Animal Exercises are well-designed to help blood circulation(循环), and let the energy go smoothly in the body so as to improve the health.
"The bear movements are good for the stomach.The tiger movements can reduce the pain in the back.The deer movements help reduce the fat around the waist(腰).The bird movements can help keep our knees healthy and the monkey movements can be good for the heart." said Hua Yi, the 59th inheritor(继承人)of Wuqinxi.
For those new learners, the first few exercises might not go well.You may find it hard to focus(集中注意力).Wear comfortable clothes, keep peaceful in your mind, try to move slowly...Little by little, you'll feel more and more harmonious with nature.You may even feel you become a tiger or a deer, walking in the forest freely.
These exercises need no tools and they are easy to learn.You can search online for the videos and practice them at any time when you feel like relaxing your body and mind.Because it's fun to practice and good for health, Five- Animal Exercises are becoming more and more popular in recent years, not only in China, but also in many other places of the world.
( C )1.People practice Five-Animal Exercises in order to　 　.
A.fight against enemies
B.protect wild animals
C.improve the health
D.play as a group game
( D )2.If your grandfather has a pain in the back, 　 　 may help him a lot.
A.the bear movements
B.the monkey movements
C.the bird movements
D.the tiger movements
( B )3.The underlined word "harmonious" in Paragraph 5 probably means　 　.
A.兴奋的

Last year, I went to Italy as an exchange student.Before leaving, I asked my mother what gifts I should take to the teachers and the students there.Mom said that the Chinese fan was a good choice, for China is praised as"the Fan Kingdom".I couldn't agree more, because it is more than a tool for cooling.It's also an important part of Chinese culture.　
I went shopping and bought three kinds of Chinese fans.The first kind was the feather(羽毛) fan for the teachers, which was made of bird feathers.It was the symbol of Zhuge Liang, a very smart man in ancient China.The fans I bought for the girls were silk fans.They were also called "round silk fans".Fans of this kind were made of silk with paintings of beautiful women, birds or flowers.They were very popular with women of all ages.As for the boys, I picked the folding fans from Rongchang , a place in the west of Chongqing.The folding fans were made of paper and bamboo and there were great paintings and calligraphy(书法) on them.

In China, each year we produce about 150 million tons of city waste according to report.Where does the waste go? People usually burn or bury(埋) it.On the other hand, we receive waste from some developed countries.We get useful materials from it.What about the useless part? Still burned or buried.But is it a proper way?
Waste pollutes the environment, harms people's health and causes animals to die.It also gets in the way of green and sustainable development.We can't make money at the cost of the environment.We should leave clean water and green mountains to our next generations(一代人).
China is getting really serious about waste now.
We are taking less waste from developed counties.From January 2018, China started to stop 24 kinds of waste coming into our country.And more laws and rules about dealing with waste have been made.Anyone who breaks the law will be punished.
China also tries to put waste into good use.One example is the waste electricity factories. They burn waste to make electricity in a green way, No harmful gases or water will get into the environment.
The Chinese government is encouraging people to do waste sorting(分类).Cities like Shanghai, Chongqing and Beijing have their own storing systems.More will join then soon.As President Xi Jinping said during a visit to Shanghai, waste sorting is a new fashion(时尚).More and more people are forming the habit of separating their waste.

10.(2020•重庆B卷)主要介绍了面部检测进入一个新的领域:广告业务。
Facial recognition technology (人脸识别技术) is widely used today.For example, police use it to search for bad guys.It's also used to unlock phones or doors.
Now, a similar technology, known as facial detection(探测) , is entering a new field:the business of advertising(广告) .
Such systems are going through tests in a small number of stores.One facial detection system can judge a person's "happiness" or "fear" level.That helps businesses see how people feel as they look at products or advertisements in the store.Another system can detect whether someone is wearing eyeglasses.If so, sores can send advertisements for new glasses to him.
Facial detection technology is also placed inside some large advertising boards.Cameras in those boards can detect information like people's ages and five levels of feelings—from "very happy" to "very unhappy".
Supporters of the technology say it could improve buyers' experience by showing products they might like or by offering them products at lower prices.
Some are against the idea of using such systems.Pam Dixon, the head of a privacy(隐私) group, is one of them.She thinks__▲__.For example, a business could raise the price of a product according to a person's age and feelings.
However, one store testing the technology explained they wouldn't store people's information like names or ages.And the advertising board system maker said it didn't keep any personal information or record any videos.
( B )1.Facial detection technology can tell people's 　 　 according to the passage.
A.weight
B.feelings
C.height
D.jobs
( B )2.Which of the following sentences can be put in the 　 　 ?
A.nobody likes to have their feelings collected
B.it is very important to protect people's privacy
C.the strange actions may cause something unfair
D.businesses may use them to have more customers
( D )3.We can infer from the passage that facial detection technology 　 　 .
A.can detect buyers' names and record them
B.is put inside some large advertising boards
C.may be used to sell cheaper goods in all stores
D.may need some time before being widely used
( C )4.The best title of the passage may be "　 　 ".
A.Facial Recognition Technology Entering a New Field
B.Facial Recognition Technology Looking for Bad Guys
C.Facial Detection Technology Going into Advertising Field
D.Facial Detection Technology improving Buyers' Experience

12.(2020•北京)主要介绍Emma到了一个新环境,有些孤独,但交到了新朋友,找到了新兴趣,也找到了开心。
A Day at the Nature Center
Emma stared（凝视)sadly out of the window of the bus.Only 50 miles outside town was the farm.She thought about the farm all the time, especially the animals.
When her family sold the farm and moved to nearby town, Emma was excited.But when she got to the new school, she felt very lonely.
With a sigh（叹气), Emma turned her attention back to the present.The bus came to a stop."Welcome to the Leinweber Nature Center," her teacher said."A guide will give us a presentation about animals,and then you'll help to feed the baby squirrels, now, I want everyone to find a partner."
Emma didn't have any friends yet—who would be her partner? Emma got close to Julia, a talkative and outgoing girl."Could I be your partner?" Emma asked uncertainly.
"Sure," said Julia warmly.
Together, the girls walked into the center.After the presentation, a keeper showed them how to hold the bottle of milk for baby squirrels.Then the girls started to feed their own baby squirrels.
After the babies finished eating, the keeper asked, "Would you like to help feed the adult squirrels, too?"
Emma was quick to volunteer, but when the keeper opened the first cage, the squirrel inside jumped out.Emma remained calm（镇静的), held out her hand, made quiet sounds, and then quickly got it.
"Wow!" Julia said."You're always so quiet, I thought you were afraid of everything, but you were brave."
"I know that when animals are frightened or excited, you have to stay calm."
The keeper nodded in agreement and asked Emma,"Would you be interested in volunteering to help out with the animals at the center?"
"Interested? I would love to work here! What an opportunity!" Emma was excited.
That afternoon, in the bus on the way back to school,Emma sat next to Julia,her new friend.A rush of newfound happiness washed over her.

13.(2020•北京)主要讲了传承家庭菜谱的重要性和方法。
There are millions of recipes (菜谱) hidden in the boxes and hearts of grandmothers and parents.These family recipes are a special part of our family history.Some of them have been passed down from generation (一代人) to generation.
"I realized I couldn't go home every weekend for my mom's delicious dishes," says Shreya, who is about to enter university.Shreya has recently started following her mother around the kitchen, taking notes on how to make her "masala chai" and tasty kachoris.
"Those special tastes can immediately unlock a whole flood of emotions, memories and feelings of family, love, and comfort," says she.
She adds, "I am looking to the day when my kids will come to know of their grandmother through the dishes they cooked."
But many of us find it difficult to keep the food connection with our busy life.Even if we have time, not many of us take the effort to collect and record the recipes from our grandmothers and parents.We often get a recipe on the phone and take it down quickly on a piece of paper.We just stick it onto the fridge for a week or two and forget about it as soon as the paper disappears from there.
Actually, there are simple ways to keep family recipes, Scrapbooks（剪贴薄)are easily found in the market.You can even add photos to record every detail of your memories about the recipe.With the help of some popular apps like Story Scans, recording family recipes has never been easier.What is needed is to scan（扫描)the recipes and record the story behind each of them.It can become the most meaningful work you have ever done with and for your family.
Keeping family recipes is saving and honoring our tradition so that future generations can continue to make family ties stronger.Every time you remember your loved ones, recreate one of the dishes from your collection and let the memories from the good old days comfort you.So why not gift your kids a family recipe book when they are starting a new life?
( B )1.Why does Shreya follow her mother around the kitchen?
A.To clean up the kitchen.
B.To note down recipes.
C.To prepare family dinners.
D.To talk about family rules.
( A )2.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Ways to record recipes can be easy.
B.Most people like writing recipe books.
C.Recipes have become popular with kids.
D.People often buy recipe books in the market.
( D )3.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Family Recipes: Secrets of Cooking
B.Family Recipes Are at a Crossroads
C.Family Recipes: Connections to Interests
D.Family Recipes Are More than Just Recipes

14.(2020•北京)讲了科技发展给医疗带来的机遇和挑战。
Today we can do everything with apps: pay bills, order food and shop for anything.Mobile technology means we can hold the world in our hands, However, when it comes to technology and health care, opportunities and challenges come together.
Let's start with the ways to get health care.Telemedicine can allow a patient to use technology to see the doctor online and get a diagnosis（诊断)and instructions without leaving home.
In addition, there are many patient websites.These allow for different kinds of interactions about our health needs without involving the medical team.Setting a date with doctors and reading lab results are readily achieved by technology.
A whole new age of medical care seems likely（可能的)to come in the future.But every coin has two sides.What might be on the other side of techno-health care?
Firstly, we should think about the health care experience as a whole.A usual visit to a doctor begins with a receptionist（接待员), who can see and tell how a patient is doing, This may influence the treatment effect.It's unlikely that a patient website will have such intuition.
Next, sharing the details of one's life requires trust, which takes time to build.This is certainly true in health care, where some of life's best and worst moments involve doctors.The human touch should not be undervalued and is unlikely to be there over the smartphone.
Lastly, test results can be difficult to understand.When someone without a medical degree sees a flagged result with no explanation on the website, there's room for all kinds of stories to form in their minds—and also great worry.
So how does medicine adapt（适应)to the new technology age? Very talented companies are working on it There is medical equipment（设备)that can be used at home to send necessary signs and heart sounds through telemedicine.It seems likely that some companies will find a way to explain test results.
But what it will not achieve is the warmth of human interaction and touch.Patients often need someone to listen to—and care about—their journey story, which will never be realized through a human-less technology.Technology should be a tool, but depending on it totally will most certainly have unexpected effects.Let's not allow our humanity to be one of them.
( B )1.According to the passage, how does technology help health care?
A.It encourages doctors to voice their needs on the websites.
B.It offers the patient a convenient way to get a diagnosis.
C.It improves relations between doctors and patients.
D.It provides an opportunity to build a medical team.
( B )2.The word "intuition" in Paragraph 5 probably means　 　.
A.an ability to understand
B.an interesting experience
C.a chance to win
D.a fair decision
( C )3.What do you know about techno-health care from the passage?
A.Patient websites require trust from doctors.
B.Talented companies can give medical advice.
C.Flagged results may cause worry for patients.
D.Medical equipment collects patients' stories.
( D )4.The writer probably agrees that　 　.
A.technology can deal with unexpected effects.
B.telemedicine can take the place of usual health care.
C.it is difficult for patients to adapt to the new technology age.
D.Techno-health care should take humanity into consideration.

17.(2020•天津)主要讲述了植物的用途。
People depend on plants.We use plants for food, cloth, shelter（住处), and even the air we breathe（呼吸).
Plants keep our air and water clean.Green plants give us oxygen（氧气).Oxygen is part of the air we breathe.
Plants are also part of the water cycle（水循环).Most of the water that a plant takes in goes back into the air.
Plants give us a lot of the food on the earth.Fruits, vegetables, and grains（谷物)come from plants.Without plants, we would not have bread, rice, carrots, apples, oranges, or bananas! Many people are growing plants to eat in their own gardens at home.Having your own garden helps the earth as well.
When you grow your own fruits and vegetables, you help cut down on pollution because big trucks don't need to take your food to shops.You also help reduce the amount of rubbish because you don't need to use bags for packing your food.You can just pick it out of the ground or off a plant and put it into a basket!
Trees are an important plant resource（资源).Trees provide wood to build homes and furniture.Trees are used to make lots of things around your home and at your school.And trees provide fruits that are good for you.Without trees, the earth would be a very different place.

19.(2020•河南)讲述了Simon在一次生病后，发现听比说更加重要，并学会了举手发言。
“Are you listening, Simon?" Simon's teacher asked.It was a pretty usual question.
Simon shook his head, smiling.He hardly listened or tried hard in class.Talking was so much fun.He wanted to be heard rather than listen.
"Listen, and you'll learn something." Mrs.Jacobs tried every day, but Simon never paid attention.
That evening, his throat really hurt.The next morning, when he opened his mouth to say "Good morning", nothing came out but a croak.
Simon's mother looked at him."Honey, you've lost your voice."
“Can I stay home?" He tried to ask, but words didn't come out, Instead, his mother checked him for a fever and decided it was good for him to go to school, even if he couldn't talk.
When he got to school, Mrs.Jacobs said “Hello" to him, and he just nodded.When his friends asked him what TV shows he watched last night, he just shrugged.By the time the bell rang for class, almost everyone was looking at him as if he'd grown a third eye.
Penny raised her hand.“Mrs.Jacobs, why isn't Simon talking?""
"He never stops talking," Richard said worriedly.
Everyone started talking at once.They were excited, worried, and surprised.
Simon sat in class, bored.He watched them talk to each other as if the teacher wasn't there, but he couldn't even do that.In math class he could hold up fingers if the answer was less than 10, but that wasn't fun.He decided to try to pay attention.

He could do his homework that night It gave him TV and game time with his work all done.

20.(2020•河南)介绍了梦游和发现梦游者应该怎么办。
Cait, 11, was trying to fall asleep when her 8-year-old brother, Doug, came into her room.He looked around, but seemed really out of it.Then Doug went back into the hallway and stood there looking straight up at the light.This was really strange.Cait didn't know what to do.Just then, Cait's father appeared and explained Doug was sleepwalking.
Not all sleep is the same every night.We experience some deep, quiet sleep and some active sleep, which is when dreams happen.You might think sleepwalking would happen during active sleep, but a person isn't physically active during active sleep It usually happens in the first few hours of sleep in the period called deep sleep.
The truth is that not all sleepwalkers walk.Some simply sit up or stand in bed or act like they're awake when, in fact, they re asleep! Most, however, do get up and walk around for a few or for as long as half an hour.

tend 倾向于
frightened 受惊的
tuck 掖好被子
Sleepwalkers' eyes are open, but they don't see the same way they do when they're awake.They tend to go back to bed on their own and won't remember it in the morning.
You also might have heard that sleepwalkers can get frightened if you wake them up.That's true, so what do you do if you see someone sleepwalking? You should call for a grown-up who can lead the person back to bed.And once the sleepwalker is tucked back in bed, it's time for you to get some sleep, too!

Everyone needs help sometimes.People depend on one another.That's why communities have special people ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it.
For example, what would we do without a community fire station? If a home catches on fire, as the Jackson place did last week, it might be burned down and people get hurt...or worse.We're so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire, safely.If the fire station hadn't come so fast, the Jacksons might have lost everything.
And what about our local police who protect our families, our homes and valuable things? The police have helped so many families this past year, especially saving people and pets and protecting our houses and other things after the heavy rains.
Think about all the other service workers we have in this community.We have people who collect waste and rubbish and keep our community sanitary.We have road workers who put up and repair traffic signs and fix holes in the streets to protect not just us, but our cars! And where would this community be without the teachers in our school and the doctors, and nurses in our community hospitals?
Think again about what we cat every day; think again about what we wear every day.We cannot produce them, but we use them all the time.We get a lot from all these tireless workers who keep our community running.We need these people in the community.We depend on each other.Let's support each other and help each other.Only in this way can we make our community a better place.

10.(2020·聊城)本文主要讲了猴子如何来帮助残疾人。
Dogs can be good helpers to humans and what about monkeys? They can do a great job, too.Monkeys can help disabled（有残疾)people live a better life just as dogs do.
Like dogs, monkeys need lots of training to be human helpers.One difference is that monkeys live longer than dogs do.This means that a monkey's "childhood" is also longer than a dog's.So it may take them four to six years before they are ready to begin training.
It's said that it is almost as much work as raising a young child!
After monkeys begin training, they usually take about a year to learn enough tasks to be good helpers.One important thing that they need to learn is how to follow command (命令).
For example, if a person wants to have the lights turned on, he or she might give the command "sun".As the monkeys get better at completing their tasks, they learn new and more difficult ones.Some monkeys can even learn how to use a computer!
1.Both dogs and monkeys need lots of training before they can help humans.A
A.Right.
B.Wrong.
2.Dogs are ready to begin training when they are 4 to 6 years old.B
A.Right.
B.Wrong.
3.It usually takes monkeys about a year to learn how to become good human helpers.A
A.Right.
B.Wrong.
4.If a person gives the command "sun", he might want the monkey to turn on the lights.A

5.All monkeys can learn how to use computers.B

B.Wrong.

13.(2020·聊城)文章主要介绍了节礼日的由来和习俗。
In Britain, Australia, Canada and a few other English-speaking countries, people don't stop celebrating when Christmas Day is over.They also celebrate the following day, known as Boxing Day.It is a popular day for giving additional（另外的)gifts.It has been celebrated for so long, but nobody exactly knows how it started.
Some people believe Boxing Day began in the Middle Ages.In those days: in some special places there were special collection boxes where people threw money for the poor.
The day after Christmas the boxes were opened and the money was counted.Then the money went to helping the poor in the area.

Now Boxing Day has become a public holiday in some countries.Some people spend the day boxing up old or unwanted things and donating（捐赠)them to the poor.Many people are active in helping service organizations(组织)like the Red Cross.

13.(2020·滨州)动物是我们的朋友，有时它们会制造麻烦，但有时它们能帮助我们，它们也希望过上幸福的生活。文章举了两个例子。
Animals are our friends.Sometimes they make trouble, but sometimes they can help us.And they hope to live a happy life, too.Here are two real stories from our readers.
The first story is from Ray."My cat, Tiger, hates it when I use my iPad because it takes my attention away from him.One year, I had a fall at home and was on the floor for 16 hours.During this time, I was unable to move and couldn't get to the phone to call for help.Tiger stayed by my side until he disappeared under my bed.'What's he up to?' I wondered.To my surprise, he started to push something towards me.It was my iPad, which I didn't realize had fallen off the bed and onto the floor.He probably didn't know what it was, but he knew that it made me happy.Thanks to Tiger, I was able to communicate with my friend, Becky, who then told my doctor."
The second story is from Colin."Years ago, my friend Julius saved a bird-a wild 'Mom' cockatoo（鹦鹉)from the side of the road and kept it as a pet in a big cage(笼子).It lost one of her wings, so she was unable to return to the wild.Soon, two wild cockatoos came visiting and one 'Dad' bird wanted to find his way into the cage.The 'Mom' cockatoo in the cage was soon expecting.But as she couldn't fly, 'Dad' cockatoo built a home in the tree, keeping off everyone who got close to 'Mom' cockatoo.'Baby' cockatoo would spend his days flying off with his dad, leaving his mom behind.She would sit and wait until they returned home each afternoon.The family stayed together happily."
After reading the stories, don’t you think we should get along well with animals? No matter they are our pets or live in the wild, they have their feelings.We should respect every life in the world.
1.___D____ is the owner of the cat.
A.Becky B.Julius C.Colin D.Ray
2.The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refers to the ___C___.
A.phone B.cat C.iPad D.bed
3."Mom" cockatoo didn't return to the wild because ____B__.
A.Julius caught it as a pet B.she was badly hurt and couldn't fly
C.she preferred the life in the cage D."Dad" cockatoo built a home in the tree

18.(2020·青岛)野生海狸又回到了英格兰！没有人确切知道它们来自哪里。这是一个巨大的惊喜，因为野生海狸已经有400年没有在英格兰生活了！
Animals UK News Daily News 16th March 2020




Wild beavers (河狸) are back! Experts say that the wild beaver families are doing well.The beavers are even boosting wildlife and the environment!
Over ten years ago, a family of beavers turned up in a part of the river Otter, in Devon.No one knew exactly where they came from.It was a big surprise -wild beavers hadn't lived in England for around 400 years!
In 2015, the govemment allowed the beavers to stay there as part of a trial (试验).They wanted to see if these animals could be reintroduced to the wild.The trial ends in February.Some scientists from the University of Exeter already say the beavers help the wildlife in the area.One scientist called it “an amazing story”.
A lot of this is because of dams.Beavers build dams along the river.This creates deep pools in the riverbed and slows the water down.Scientists say this is perfect for many different types of plants and animals! Many plants are growing near the beavers.Different types of animals are also becoming more and more in the river.Beavers also help make flooding less, scientists say.The beavers' dams slow down the speed of the river, especially after heavy rain.
There are, however, some problems.Beavers gnaw (咬，啃) on trees and this can harm them.Their dams can also sometimes create floods (洪水) on people's land.
Beavers aren't the only animals that are being reintroduced to the wild! In 2019, red squirrels were brought back to an area of the Scottish Highlands.Further away, the world's rarest (罕见的)duck, the Madagascar pochard, is making a comeback.It was set free into the wild on the African island in 2019 and is doing well.
Who knows what other animals might be making a comeback?
1.Which of the following best explains “boosting” in paragraph 1? C
A.building B.spreading C.helping D.creating
2.Why did the govermment want a trial first? Because they wanted to __D___.
A.grow more plants along the river B.build dams for the beavers in the wild

3.What are the good things about wild beavers living on the river Otter? A
A.They help plants grow and make flooding less.
B.They bring heavy rain and floods.
C.They gnaw on trees and harm them.
D.Their dams create floods on people's land.
4.How many kinds of animals are mentioned in the news story which have been reintroduced to the wild? C

19.(2020·青岛)海洋的地球的一部分。海洋科学家对海洋的化学组成、天气模式、海底的地理位置以及其他许多领域进行了研究。他们的工作很危险，但也让我们感到兴奋。
Part of Earth's beauty comes from its oceans.Ocean scientists study the chemical make-up of the ocean, weather patterns, the geography of the ocean floor, and many other areas.Their work is exciting, although sometimes dangerous.Using technology to do certain tasks helps.For example, robotic arms are used for very dangerous tasks.
One basic part of ocean study is understanding waves and how they work.Wind is the great maker of waves.The waves we know are mostly produced by winds blowing over the sea.They are directly connected with the wind speed and the time that wind lasts.
Sometimes ocean life can be seen in the wave.Living things seem to be staying within the wave, moving slowly inside it as if they were weightless.Besides the beauty of waves, scientists are interested in their technical ways.The diagram of waves shows how scientists examine waves.Waves are measured (测量) from the top (crest) to the bottom (trough).This allows scientists to find out the height of a wave.They also measure waves from crest to crest to determine(测定) the length of a wave.
During serious storms, huge waves migh cut a sea ship apart.Ships are at great risk of winding up as broken pieces after being hit by the force of a huge wave.By understanding the ocean, scientists can prevent this breakup of ships by predicting when the water will be too dangerous for people and their ships.The study of waves and the ocean also allows scientists to make sure how certain beaches were formed.By studying the oceans, a great deal can be learned about the surface we live on.
1.Why are robotic arms used? Because ___A_____.

22.(2020·德州)本文是一篇说明文，介绍了在钟表发明出来之前，人们都是利用什么来计时和看时间的。
How did people tell the time before clocks were invented?
At first, the ancient people looked up at the sun and could tell it was the middle of the day when the sun was directly overhead in the sky.They also knew when it was morning or evening.
Later, the Egyptians used sticks.These sticks measured (测量) time during the day.The sun shone on the tall stick and the stick made a shadow (阴影).As the sun moved across the sky, the position (位置) of the shadow changed.This would let people tell what time it was.
Over time, the Chinese first used sundials instead of shadow sticks.The sundial has a type of shadow stick on it.As the sun shines on it, a shadow appears on the numbers.Each number stands for an hour of the day.But sundials don't work at night or on a cloudy day! There are no shadows unless the sun is out.
Water clocks used water to measure time at night.Water dripped (滴落) slowly from one bowl into another.The level of the water in the bowls showed the time.
People also used sand-glasses.You may have seen one.Some games still use sand-glasses.The sand falls from the top of the sand-glasses to the bottom.It measures short amounts of the time.The more sand falls, the more time has passed.When the sand has finished falling, you have to turn the sand-glasses over.

The building is round and made mostly of wood.There are simple seats on three different levels all around the sides.Everyone can see the stage(舞台).However, there is no roof(屋顶) in the middle!

27.(2020·泰安)本文讲述了近年来人工智能开始创造自己的艺术，但人工智能并没有取代艺术家，反而给艺术家带来了更多的可能性，人们认为人工智能可以成为一种给艺术世界带来变革的有用工具。

To many people, art is a human expression of creativity.But in recent years, you may have read news about artificial intelligence（AI)creating its own art, such as painting or writing poems.Some people worry that AI might someday replace（替代)artists.
But this worry seems to be unnecessary, at least for now.Many artists today are turning AI into a useful tool.Instead of replacing artists, AI is bringing artists more possibilities.
A piece of music created by AI recently attracted attention.AI was used to create the music based on the protein（蛋白质)structure of COVID-19.The music lasted nearly two hours.The project was led by Markus Buehler, an American musician and MIT professor（教授)of engineering.He assigned (指定) a unique note (独特的音符) to each amino acid (氨基酸) is the protein.The AI then translated these notes into music.
Listeners found the project “mind-blowing”.“It allows me to see the virus in a new way,” said one listener.This surprising combination (结合) between science and art could not be achieved without AI.As The Verge wrote, “AI helps artists play around in unpredictable ways, creating things beyond (超过) what they have ever thought was possible before.”
Apart from creating imaginative works, AI can also take care of repetitive (重复乏味的) tasks for artists.For example, in the comic and cartoon industries, there are now AI tools that can automatically (自动) color in black-and-white line drawings.Although the results can be unpredictable and require a little cleanup.it can give artists room to experiment (实验) by cutting down the time it takes to color each picture.
As Peter Ward wrote for The Culture Trip.“Art of every kind has always been influenced by technological developments.” AI can become a useful tool to bring change to the art world if it’s welcomed and not unfairly feared.

B.Many of AI’s art creations are beyond artists’ imagination.
C.Science and art can be combined with the help of AI.
D.Markus Buehler was not a professor of engineering, but a musician.
3.The underlined phrase “Apart from” in the fifth paragraph can be replaced by “__A___”.

Wearing a white blouse, Ai-Da studies her subject and begins to draw.She looks like any artist at work.However, the "beep ...beep ...beep" noise from her arm gives her away.Ai-Da is, in fact, a robot.
Ai-Da has been described as the world's "first Al (人工智能) robot artist".She takes her name from Ada Lovelace, the world's first female computer programmer.Scientists at Oxford University developed Al systems (系统) for Ai-Da.The robot has cameras in her eyeballs.After she has studied a subject, she will use her left arm to draw.Now, Ai-Da can only use a pencil for sketches (素描).The plan is for her to paint.
Ai-Da is not the first Al system to produce artworks.Since 2006, scientists have been developing software (软件) to turn photos into drawings.Last year, an artwork created using Al was sold in New York for$432,500.However, Ai-Da's human-like appearance." brings something new to the field.
In June, Ai-Da opened her first exhibition at Oxford.Then were about 30 drawings by the robot.Ai-Da, standing next to her artworks, attracted (吸引) many visitors.
Ai-Da's inventor, Aidan Meller, talked about the importance of the robot."Ai-Da bring a new voice to the art world," she said "Al is going to be the big thing of the 2020s.That influences us greatly." Meller hopes the exhibition was just the start and that more will follow to show how AI is influencing human life.

Air pollution is a big problem for cities in most countries.Many people are dying from it.But how can we tell the air quality is good or bad?
On a tree next to a river in Amsterdam, a tiny birdhouse glows (发光) bright green when the air is clean.If you're standing nearby, the birdhouse will also give you a free Wi-Fi connection—but only if pollution level is low enough.The designer is Joris Lam.His birdhouse tells you about the air quality.
Joris’ birdhouse is called TreeWifi.It can be put on a tree around your house to test the air quality.People can see a screen with information about the local air quality and how to improve it.TreeWifi is a simple way for people to know about the air pollution around them.If the birdhouse does not glow, people should care more about the environment.It reminds them to change their lifestyles.For example, to protect the air, they can ride bikes or just walk instead of driving cars.
“Imagine if trees gave free Wi-Fi, people would plant more trees like crazy.It's a pity that they only give us the oxygen(氧气) we breathe,” Joris said.
The birdhouse doesn't work as a home for birds now.Joris and his team are trying to make some changes to it.In the future, they hope birds will live in the birdhouse and the heat of its green light will be used to keep birds warm in winter.

(2020.杭州中考)交通灯信号灯的发展情况。
Traffic lights are red,yellow and green.They are very important signals（信号).Traffic lights are usually placed at busy street corners to help control traffic.Sometimes,they are on streets near schools and shops,too.Most young children are taught what each of the colored lights means,so everybody can stay safe.
The first traffic signals were used for trains.The signals were put alongside railway tracks(轨道).The color red was used to mean“stop” because it warned people of danger.A red light was also the easiest color to see from a distance.Train drivers could see the red“stop” light ahead and had enough time to slow down and stop their trains.A green light was used to mean“take care” and a white light meant“go”.
However,there were many dangerous accidents on the train tracks.Some train drivers thought a star shining in the night sky was a white light that meant“go”.So the signals were swapped.The“go” light was changed to green and the “take care” light was changed to white.
During these times,people travelled by train or in carts pulled by horses.Years later,when cars were built,people began to drive them because they could travel much faster than horses.However,the road rules for drivers were not very clear and many people were hurt crossing the roads.Yellow warning signs had to be placed beside the roads to remind drivers to take care and allow people to cross safely.
Today,towns and cities all over the world have traffic lights.Red and green lights match the signals used on the railways.Yellow lights are easy to see,so they are used to warn drivers that they should slow down and prepare to stop.
1.Why was the color red used to mean“stop”？　C　
A.It reminded people of traffic rules. B.It helped trains run smoothly.
C.It gave people a warning of danger.D.It was the first color people thought of.

（2020.杭州中考)动物迁徙的目的和原因。（R9 U13动物迁移)
A lot of animals travel from one place to another.We call this migration.
In Africa,large animals,like elephants and zebras,migrate to find food and water.They usually follow the same ways every year.
A lot of birds migrate to find food and better weather,too.They are usually birds that eat insects.They spend the summer in northern Europe,because there are lots of insects there.In the winter there aren’t any insects,so the birds fly south to southern Europe and Africa，
Some insects migrate,too.In North America,millions of monarch butterflies fly south to spend the winter in Mexico,California and Florida,where it’s warmer.They travel 50—65 km each day and they travel about 1,125 km，
Some fish migrate to breed(繁殖).Salmon(鲑鱼)can swim over 20,000 km in their life.They are born in rivers in Ireland,Scotland and other places in northern Europe.The young fish swim down the river to the sea and into the Atlantic Ocean.They live in the ocean until they are adults.Then they return to the river where they were born.They lay their eggs in the river and then they usually die.Salmon do this,because their eggs are safer in the river,Other fish can't eat them.
Arctic terns(北极燕鸥)travel the furthest when they migrate.They spend the summer in the Arctic,but when winter comes they fly to the Antarctic,because it’s summer there.The next year they fly back to the Arctic again.In one year these small birds travel 36,000km from one end of the earth to the other and back again.Nobody knows how they do it.

(2020.杭州中考)分析了为什么把他所在的社区的公园改建成高尔夫球场的计划是很不好的，希望以此来阻止高尔夫球场的修建.
How would you feel if someone decided to take away your park?Well that’s what’s happening in my community.There’s a park that some people want to turn into a golf course(高尔夫球场).Let me tell you why I think it’s a bad idea.
First,a park is meant to be for the whole community.Not everyone likes golf,so not everyone will get to use the park.This isn’t fair.A community park should have open spaces for everyone to use.
Second,to make way for the golf course,lots of playground equipment(设施)will have to be moved or knocked down,which is a waste of time and money.It’s also a waste of perfectly good equipment.The swings,for example,will probably just end up as litter.
Third,what about giving young people something to do?Not all kids are crazy about golf.At the moment,the park has a skating place and a playground.These attract lots of kids from the community.If you turn the park into a golf course,these kids won’t have anywhere to go and they won’t have anything to do.
This means that they will stay at home and turn on a video game rather than get some exercise.It also means that they might be out on the street causing trouble.Wouldn’t it be better to give them something to do at the park？
Finally,golf is expensive.Building a golf course and maintaining(维护)it costs a lot of money.Who is going to pay to maintain the golf course?What about those people who can’t afford to join a golf club？That means that the golf course will only be available to people with lots of money.
Turning our park into a golf course is a bad idea.I suggest we have a community meeting before plans go any further.
1.Some people want to change the park into　B　.
A.a golf club B.a golf course C.a parking place D.a skating place
2.According to Paragraph 4,having nowhere to go will make some children　C　.
A.go to get some exercise B.fall in love with golf
C.play video games at home D.go to the street and make friends
3.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage？　D　
（P＝ Paragraph)

4.What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage？　D　
A.To help carry out further plans. B.To make the park more beautiful.
C.To encourage children to go skating.D.To stop the golf course from being built.

（2020•吉林)中国以茶而闻名，饮茶在中国乃至全世界都很流行，详细地介绍了中国茶的历史、种类和制作方法等
China is famous for tea.Drinking tea is very popular in China and even around the world.It's said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink.A few thousand years later，Lu Yu，"the saint of tea",mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea.
Nowadays,according to different processing ways,there are mainly four kinds of Chinese tea.They are green tea，black tea，Oolong tea and scented(有香味的)tea.Without fermentation（发酵)，green tea keeps the original color of the tea. If the green tea is fermented before baking，it will be black tea.Oolong tea is partially(部分地) fermented. And if fragrant flowers are mixed in the tea during the processing,the scented tea will be made.
Tea is produced in many different areas in China. For example,Anxi and Hangzhou are widely known for their tea. Tea plants are grown on the sides of mountains.When the leaves are ready，they are picked by hand and then are sent for processing. Later,the tea is packed and sent to many different countries and places around China.
It's believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries.In England，tea didn't appear until around 1660. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century.

The balalaika, also called the "Russian guitar", is a traditional Russian musical instrument.It has a long neck, a wooden triangle-shaped body and strings.It is usually used to play Russian music by plucking the strings with fingers or a pick.
Russians like the balalaika.The music played with it can be cheerful, as if the farmers were dancing happily to celebrate their harvest.It can also be energetic, as if the workers were working hard to make their country richer and stronger.If a Russian moves to live or work abroad, he will probably take a balalaika with him.When he feels lonely and sad, he will play it to cheer himself up.
The balalaika was originally played by the poor in Russia.At that time, balalaikas were made by the players themselves.They were rough, simple and cheap with different numbers of strings, from two to even six.Later a Russian musician Vasily Vasil'yevich Andreev (1861-1918) improved the balalaka.He created a whole family of balalaikas of different sizes, all with three strings.The smallest balalaika is called Prima.It is 60-70cm long.The biggest, Contrabass, is almost 2metres high with a leg to sit on the floor.Andreev founded the first balalaika orchestra in the world, mainly using balalaikas to perform.He gave concerts at the Universal Exposition in Paris in 1889, which was a great success.

（2020•浙江温州)本文主要向我们介绍了潮汐能，它的优势以及目前存在的问题。


Tide is the regular rise and fall of the ocean level caused by the movement of the sun, the earth and the moon.It is considered a promising source of green energy to produce electricity in coastal areas.
To make use of tidal energy, we need to build tidal power stations.The bays and the river mouths where the tide is high (the tidal range is more than 10 metres) are usually perfect sites to build tidal power stations.There are many such places in the world.According to the IRENA (the International Renewable Energy Agency), by just using 2% of our coastlines, we can produce 4, 383TWh of ocean power each year, enough to meet 16.4% of the world's electricity needs.
To build a tidal power station, we need to build a dam.In the dam are many turbines and on each turbine there is an electric generator.When the tide rises, water comes through the dam, the turbines turn and the electric generators work, producing electricity.When the tide fall, water goes out through the dam, the turbines turn again.The electric generators continue to work.
Tidal energy has it advantages.Using tidal energy to produce electricity is much cheaper than using the traditional energy, like coal or gas.For example, the Rance Tidal Power Station in France has been there for over 50 years, producing around 540, 000TWh of electricity each year.The cost is only 1.3 cents/TWh.Tidal energy can be used nearly 24 hours a day.As long as the sun, the earth and the moon exist, we can use it to produce electricity.But without sunshine, here is no solar energy.When there is no wind, electric generators will not work.In addition, with the development of modern technology, tidal energy can be stored and used to produce electricity continuously.However, we still have some problems to solve.It is difficult to build a dam in the sea, and the cost is very high.Moreover, it's expensive to keep a tidal power station in is best condition.
Scientists are working on them.
33.A tidal power station is best built __________.
A.at a river mouth with wind B.along the coast with waves
C.in a bay with tide high enough D.in coastal areas with sunshine
34.The underlined word "turbine" in Paragraph There is a machine to__________.
A.make the tide rise and fall B.make an electric generator work
C.let water go through the dam D.keep the dam in good condition
35.What advantage does tidal energy have?
A.We can use it to get useful tide. B.It can improve the ocean environment.
C.We can use it nearly all the time. D.It meets 16.4% of the electricity needs.
36.How can we make better use of tidal energy?
A.By digging more bays and river mouths.
B By building cheaper tidal power stations.
C.By closing traditional electric power.
D.By using tidal energy to replace other energy.

（2020•浙江台州)畅销书《意志力:重新发现我们最大的力量》指出，意志力是一种能力，它能做出长期而非短期对我们更有利的决定。文章通过一个著名的实验说明了意志力对人们生活的影响。并告诉我们如何来提高我们的整体意志力。

Imagine this.There's an apple and a piece of cake on a table.Which one would you like? The delicious cake or the healthy apple? A bestseller, Willpower: Rediscovering Our Greatest Strength, suggests that willpower(意志力)is the ability to make decisions that are better for us in the long term, rather than in the short term.
Here is a famous experiment in the book: The Marshmallow Test.In 1972, Professor Walter Mischel tested the willpower of 600 four-year-olds to six-year-olds.In the experiment, each child was left alone in a room for fifteen minutes with a marshmallow(棉花软糖)on a table in front of them.They were given two choices: they could either eat it or, if they waited fifteen minutes, they'd be given a second one(and then they could eat both).
So, what did the kids do? Well, as you can imagine, 70% ate the first marshmallow within the fifteen minutes.But the other 30% showed willpower—they controlled themselves and waited for the second marshmallow.But then Mischel discovered something really interesting.Twenty years later, he got in touch with the children, who, by then, were in their early twenties.And he found that those who'd shown strong willpower were getting better marks at university and were more popular.
Willpower is like a muscle（肌肉), and the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets.
So, if you do daily "self-control exercises", such as making your bed or brushing your teeth, you'll improve your overall willpower.And daily willpower exercises will help you with those bigger goals, such as studying for an exam or training for a marathon.
Be careful though.Just like any muscle, your "willpower muscle" can get tired.If you've had to do lots of things that require willpower, take a break or give yourself a treat.
That way, you’ll build up your willpower again.
And one last thing, the writer mentions people who learn foreign languages usually have a lot of willpower.So, congratulations!
23.How many children got two marshmallows in the Marshmallow Test in 1972?
A.180. B.240. C.420. D.600.
24.In Paragraphs 2&3, the famous experiment explains __________.

A.all the language learners have stronger willpower
B.will power can't be improved by doing some daily things
C.young kids don't need to practice willpower like grown-ups
D.people with strong willpower can achieve their goals more easily

Why is climate change such a huge threat to this part of the world? Islands are low elevations(海拔).So they are among the first places influenced by rising sea levels.That's why countries of the Pacific Islands are working together to do their part.
But these are small countries.When it comes to climate change,can they make a big difference? They can, because most of the things that people on islands buy are brought by ships.This is very harmful to the environment.After all, ships put out almost 3 percent of the world's carbon emissions (碳排放).That makes climate change worse.
Pacific Islanders realize the problem.So, in 2019, six countries got together: Fuji, the Marshall islands, Samoa, Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands and Tuvalu, They came up with a plan.They agreed to cut carbon emissions from shipping by 40 percent by 2030.And by 2050, they expect zero-carbon shipping.

A Chinese song could be heard in a classroom in Sana, the capital of
Yemen(也门),where around 20 Chinese-learning schoolchildren were singing
"I love to learn the Chinese language because it is very nice, important and I want to travel to China to complete my studies there," Karim al-Areqi, a student of the private Languages Model School in Sanaa, told Xinhua.
Teacher Mohammed Al-Ansi, who learnt the language in China and received a university degree, stressed(强调)the importance of learning the Chinese language."It is the language of the future and it is necessary for all people to get advantages from the great development in China," he said.
Like many other private elementary and secondary schools in Yemen, the Chinese language is a basic part of the Languages Model School's courses, where the students study Chinese as actively as math and science subjects."In teaching the Chinese language, I succeeded in educating students in a simple way that fits everyone," al-Ansi said proudly, stressing that teaching Chinese has changed his life without doubt.
Al-Ansi expects that Yemen and China will work together to set up centers and schools for teaching the Chinese language in Yemen so that many young Yemenis can learn."I hope that a branch of the Confucius (孔子学院),could be built in Yemen to teach the language and spread the Chinese culture to many years who are interested in learning the Chinese culture and language," he said.see that learning a foreign language may open a way of hope to a new life, such as getting ,more money and paving（铺平)the way to a bright future in the country that has experienced war for almost five years,

15.（2020·浙江绍兴)文章大意：这篇文章介绍了Cakes for Kids为穷孩子免费提供生日蛋糕的志愿服务组织。
On February 12,2019,Brendon Fontaine blew out five candles on a birthday cake."He loved the cake so much," says his mother, Faith, who lives in Winnipeg with Brendon."I had to hide it in the back of the fridge.3
Brendon's surprise came from Cakes for Kids, a group of home bakers(烘焙师)who know that a simple birthday cake can be uncommon for poor families like the Fontaines.
The group was set up three years ago by Christy Rogowski, a 40-year-old who works in health care software, and her partner, Wendy Singleton."Imagining a child who wasn't going to have a birthday cake was really upsetting," Rogowski says.
A Facebook call-out for volunteers finally added 150 bakers to their name list.When volunteers first apply(申请), they're asked why they want to do so."Some people have said that they didn't have a cake on their birthday growing up, and they know how important it is," says Singleton.More commonly, though, they say they want families in need to know that their neighbors care about them.
The names of the cake receivers are provided by community organizations and Winnipeg Child and Family Services.A child might receive a cake because the family is poor.Sometimes a child is sick, leaving the family too busy to make the treat themselves.Cakes also go to children living in foster care（寄养).Jodi Korolyk, a worker with Winnipeg Child and Family Services, has so far ordered birthday cakes for five of the almost 800 kids in their system."It shows the child they have a lot of people there to support them," she says.
By the end of last year, Cakes for Kids had baked over 575 cakes to mark kids' birthdays, and the baking continues.Rogowski and Singleton are even considering developing the program nationally and also providing cakes for old people who live alone.After all, there's no age difference when it comes to the positive role of a well-timed cake.
38.The example of Brendon is given to help explain why ▲ .
A.cakes should be put in the fridge B.children like cakes so much
C.Cakes for Kids was set up D.some families became poor
39.We can see from the passage that the group Cakes for Kids ▲ .
A.pays its workers much money B.has a history of three years
C.cares about volunteers' health D.gives away cakes online
40.Paragraph5 mainly tells us ▲ .
A.where kids can celebrate birthdays B.how cakes are sent to kids
C.who can probably receive cakes D.when cakes need to be ordered
41.The last paragraph shows that Rogowskiand Singleton plan to ▲ .
A.offer cakes to the old living alone B.make another 575 birthday cakes
C.improve their skills in making cakes D.create new kinds of birthday cakes
16.（2020·浙江绍兴)文章大意：本文介绍了由于学校的关闭和公共场所活动的限制，年轻人经历了一些困难的时期。一些网络技术能帮助年轻人保持联系。

With schools closed and restrictions(限制)on public activities, it can be a difficult time for young people, who suddenly can't spend time with their friends and family in person.
However, the situation has already led to some creative ways of using technology to keep in touch with those people, from video calls and group chats(聊天)to online games.Experts say that young people might find the social restrictions on seeing their friends in real life stressful, which is why technology can be helpful.
"Keeping relationships is very important for health," says Dr Amanda Gummer, creator of Dr Gummer's Good Play Guide.She ads that this is more important the older you get."Not maintaining these friendships can make it more difficult for you to get back into school when the time comes," she says.Chezy Kennedy, from a training program called Confident Kids, agrees."Staying connected to those we care about is even more important now than ever before," she says."We can suddenly feel quite lonely."
Messaging apps and video calls are good for checking in with friends, or organizing group chats to keep in.touch."Video chats are a great way to keep connected with your wider friendship group," says Gummer.
Experts agree that there are plenty of ways to be creative with video chats besides talking to friends.Gummer suggests, "A virtual（虚拟的)film-and-pizza night can work well.
Sharna Jackson, an expert on young people and technology, has lots of ideas too.She suggests taking turns to teach friends something you're really good at- such as painting and drawing, perhaps.She also thinks that online games, including Fortnite and Minecraft, can play a really good role.
"It's good to play together.It's social, there's problem-solving and turn-taking, and it helps you develop different skills," she says.
42.According to the passage, young people will ▲ when they can't stay with friends.
A.be afraid of growing up B.fail to pass the exams
C.experience a hard time D.refuse to go to school
43.The underlined word "maintaining" probably means" ▲ ".
A.controlling B.ending C.checking D.keeping
The passage mentions the following ways of keeping in touch EXCEPT ▲ .
A.talking to friends on the Internet B.playing online games
C.producing online videos together D.teaching friends online
45.What's the best title for the passage?
A.Away from friends B.Together with technology
C.Alone at home D.Back to school

What do you think of the "new" hat I made for my sister? It used to be my mum's sweater.
New uses for old clothing
Nowadays, we're more wasteful than ever-buying, using and throwing things away without thinking about the costs.We need to start living more responsibly- but how? One answer is to upcycle (再生利用) .
If you're like me, you might already make soil for gardening from food waste and use empty paper boxes as storage space.Did you know you can apply (应用) the same way to old clothing? You just need imagination!
I started upcycling clothing.Making new things out of old clothes is the best way to mix my talent and my interest.Do you upcycle? If so, what new things have you made? If not, why not give it a try?
Terry B Posted at 9:08 a.m.on 11th February 2018
Why don't you give your old clothes to people in need? I even give away the most expensive things I don't wear anymore.So I can help the environment while giving something useful to people in need.
Gina Posted at 9:28 a.m.on 1lth February 2018 early
Good point! I'm talking about only the oldest clothing in your room — the clothes that are too old to be worn by others.The same idea goes for food waste at restaurants and supermarkets.
Before upcycling food that can still be eaten, for example, using it to make soil, we
should give it to those in need.
Betty99 Posted at 10:18 a.m.on llth February 2018
I've made shopping bags out of T-shirts and dog toys out of socks.
Upcycling clothing is a fun hobby, but the most important thing is that it makes me
feel like I'm living less wastefully.

Rope climbing
It first appeared as an Olympic sport in 1896.The climber who spends the shortest time reaching the top is the winner.The rope used to be 15 meters long.Years later, it was shortened to 8 meters for some reason.After 1932, there was no rope climbing in the Olympics.

Race walking
In race walking, walkers have to win the race by walking.To make sure that they do not run, race walkers must have one foot on the ground at all times.Race walking has been an Olympic sport since 1904.Men enter in 20 kilometer and 50 kilometer races; women only race 20 kilometers.

（2020•金华中考)讲述在大流行病期间人们选择拍照片的方式与亲人朋友保持联系，告诉我们即使在不好的境况下也要保持良好的心态，用好的角度去看待问题。

Every night, just after the sun goes down.Ruth Medjber talks with her neighbours in Dublin, Ireland, and takes a picture of them at their windows.
These photos, in some way, show people's lives during the global pandemic (大流行病).
"I started out taking photos of just friends and family.In this way, I could connect with them during this special time when people have to stay at home," the photographer explained."I live alone, so I was missing the days when we were free to communicate with friends.Every evening, on my way to seeing friends, I had a sense of purpose."
Now she's making new friends.
The photo project has taken off online, and she has opened it up to volunteers.But they must be the people who live within 5 kilometers of her home—the Irish government doesn't allow people to go farther out than that.
"I pick a street each night and try to take photos of volunteers," Ruth said."I usually take about four photos before it is completely dark, but two if I'm talking a lot—which I love to do."
She said more and more neighbours are joining in her photo project and it has now got a name, Low at Home.
"I think people like knowing that they're not alone even if they have to stay at home, and they really try to pick out those who are similar to themselves in the photos," she said."It's also a different view(视角) of the pandemic: the more human view.Instead of showing what the pandemic has taken from us, it shows that it has given us more chances to be with family and friends and spend time together."
"I think we'd love most to find something nice, even in the most serious situation as it is now," Ruth said.
1.Ruth started out taking the photos in order to 　B　.
A.raise some money B.connect with friends and family
C.make new friends D.join in a photo project of volunteers
2.According to the passage, Low at Home is the name of 　A　.
A.a photo project B.the picture shown in this passage

（2020•金华)本文主要是作者对于学习历史的理解，谈谈学习历史的好处并培养学生学习历史的兴趣。
My dear boys and girls, good morning.Today I'm going to talk to you, about my understanding of learning history.
Many of you may think it is a terrible thing to study history.You may often wonder why we students should study something that has nothing to do with our own lives.If you think that way, I should say you are far from the truth.
In fact, if we study history, we can learn quite a lot about personal stories and events (事件)of people just like us.The people who came before us helped build and develop the country we are living in.Their ideas often solved many of our problems and troubles.Studying the past helps us to understand what our ancestors'(祖先)lives were like.And it also helps us to see how their experiences have shaped our own life.
To be honest, ▲ .Some of what we study in history helps us understand the mistakes of the past.And these mistakes will help people not to do the same wrong things.People often learn from the past to have a better future.
Whether we like the subject of history or not, we must understand the importance of the events and the people who came before us.Our ancestors' decisions have influenced our own life.Similarly, the decisions of our own generation(一代人)will finally influence those who come after us.In this only way, the world is truly connected.
History is not just a study of the past.History is the study of people, places, and events that can influence the future.
Now do you still think studying history is a sad thing? Or do you have any doubt about learning history? If you have any question, just feel free to ask.
1.What kind of writing is the passage above? 　C　
A.A diary. B.A story. C.A speech. D.A letter.
2.Which of the following can be put in the ▲ in Paragraph 4? 　D　
A.the mistakes of the past won't help us
B.I don't like the idea of learning history
C.it is not easy to learn the subject of history
D.not everything that happened in the past is good
3.According to Paragraph 5, the decisions of our generation will 　C　.
A.show what is happening to us B.build and develop our country
C.influence the people in the future D.help understand the people in the past
4.The writer wrote the passage to 　B　.
A.introduce some important people in history
B.develop students' interest in learning history

D.show the relationship between the past and the future

（2020•金华)介绍了社交媒体的过多使用会带来很多负面的影响。

Very often, when we see young people sitting there, looking at the screen of a mobile phone and smiling, we may think nothing is wrong.But when we come to the question "how much time do they actually spend on media(传播媒介)daily?", the answer is surprising: young people spend about nine hours every day using media, and this only includes media used for enjoyment.
Today's young people seem to have become crazy multitaskers.They often use media when doing other activities.Some watch TV when doing homework, some text(发短信), and some others listen to music.But what do young people think of this? A research showed that two thirds of them believed watching TV or texting had no influence on their schoolwork.Half of them thought using social media made no difference.However, researches have given a different answer: "media multitaskers" did worse in tests.
Scientists did a research among more than 400 students.It shows that those who text a lot have more trouble sleeping and do worse in their study.In another research, students who didn't text during a lesson took down a lot more notes than those who were texting.A similar research also found that students who texted when doing schoolwork had lower overall(总体的)grades.
According to a research, if a kid uses social media a lot, especially at night, he or she will sleep worse and feel more nervous and depressed(消沉的).On the one hand, young people stay up late to check messages and information.They may also be woken up by messages they receive.On the other hand, even the light from a screen could influence their sleep.Some other researches also show that children who use media at night go to bed later, get fewer hours of sleep each week, and become sleepy more easily during the daytime.
1.The answer to the question in Paragraph l is surprising because young people 　A　.
A.spend about 9 hours on media for fun daily
B.often look at their mobile phones and smile
C.always sit there for a long time doing nothing
D.use different kinds of media to relax themselves
2.The underlined word "multitaskers" in Paragraph 2 refers to people who 　D　.
A.ask a lot of questions B.use different media for learning
C.have several mobile phones D.do several tasks at the same time
3.From the passage we can learn that a kid will probably 　A　 if he or she uses social media a lot at night.
A.become more worried B.get more excited
C.take fewer notes in class D.sleep much better
4.What is the passage mainly about? 　B　
A.Social media is very popular among young people.
B.Using media too much has a bad influence on young people.
C.The use of social media has both advantages and disadvantages.
D.Mobile phones are the main tools students use for school learning.

（2020•宁波)机器人即将进入我们的教室。从韩国到日本再到美国，学校都在把会说英语的机器人放在学生面前。在韩国，机器人成为许多幼儿园和幼儿园的新助教。针对这种现象，作者和其他的四个人对此发表了自己的评论。

Robots Are Now Teaching English!
Get ready.Robots are about to invade our classroom.From Korea to Japan to the United States, schools are putting English-speaking robots in front of their students.In Korea, robots are the new teaching assistants in a number of preschools and kindergartens.
The young students say that the robots are fun, but are these children really learning anything?
I don't think a computer will ever be able to do what a teacher does.A teacher has to be able to respond to students as individuals (个体) .___28___▲___29___, and a teacher has to change his or her teaching style to fit the needs of the student.I seriously doubt that a computer will ever be able to do this even though the big data (数据) is widely used in the world.


Sara says:
In my opinion, schools should spend money training human teachers rather than buying robots.Research shows that children learn more from real speakers than from recorded conversations.
Keiko says:
I don't think you can learn a language without real human interaction.After all, robots cannot think as humans do.
Hassan says:
Robots might be able to help people learn a language, but I don't think they should replace teachers because robots are just machines without human feelings.
Nancy says:
I think robots might be very helpful in the classroom.A child might be less afraid to make a mistake in front of a robot than in front of a real person.


1.The underlined word "invade" in Para.1 probably means 　A　.
A.enter B.leave C.accept D.fight
2.Which of the following can be best put in ▲ in Para.2? 　B　
A.Each teacher is different B.Each student is different
C.All teachers are helpful D.All students are fun
3.Of the 4 comments, 　D　 thinks that robots could give lots of help to learners in class.
A.Sara B.Keiko C.Hassan D.Nancy
4.What's the writer's attitude (态度) towards robots' teaching English? 　C　
A.Uncaring. B.Supportive. C.Doubtful. D.Agreeable.

（2020•宁波)介绍了水力飞船的原理和优势。
In the future, people may travel to Mars (火星) by water-powered spaceship! Today's spaceships are fine for getting things into space, but they are not so good at travelling long distances.These spaceships burn chemical fuels (燃料) and they are very expensive.Scientists say that a water-powered spaceship could make the trip to Mars much cheaper.The idea is just in the planning stages now, but scientists think such a spaceship could be developed soon.
The key to the water-powered spaceship is the engine (发动机).Regular engines push spaceships by burning fuel.The water engine will use steam, created by solar panels (太阳能板) that heat water to a high temperature.Of course, the spaceship will have to carry a lot of water for the long trip to Mars.
Today's spaceships could not carry that much water.But scientists think that a spaceship blown up like a balloon will be able to.
One US company has already developed a spaceship like this.These spaceships are made of a strong material.Two of them have already been sent up into space, using rockets and then later filled with air."Balloon" spaceships could be very large and carry enough water for a long trip.With the "Balloon" spaceships, enough water could be carried to power the engines and grow food during the trip.And the people on the spaceship might even get to take a hot bath!
Scientists say the biggest advantage of such a spaceship would be cost.The "Balloon" spaceship uses water to push it through space and costs about one thirtieth of a normal spaceship.Such savings naturally encourage continued research into balloon spaceships and water engines.If these scientists are correct, we may soon be on our way to Mars in a spaceship powered by water.
1.Which sentence best describes the main idea of the passage above? 　B　
A.The key to the water-powered spaceship is the engine.
B.In the future, people may travel to Mars by water-powered spaceship.
C.One US company has already developed a spaceship like this.
D.Scientists say the biggest advantage of such a spaceship would be cost.
2.What do you think is omitted (省略) at the end of the underlined sentence? 　D　
A.use steam B.push spaceships
C.heat water D.carry that much water
3.Besides growing food, what else might astronauts do with the rest of the water? 　A　
A.Take a hot bath. B.Freeze dangerous things.
C.Blow up a balloon. D.Change the surface of Mars.
4.On which website can we probably read this passage? 　D　
A.www.freedictionary.com/power B.www.mooc.cn/music

Later hat day, the ravens returned for their meal.The girl hid behind the door and watched.When the seventh raven drank from his cup, something hit his mouth.The raven recognized it at once—it was his parents' ring."I wish our sister were here, "he said, "and then we could be free."

    Tomatoes first grew in the Americas. The Incas grew them over 1,000 years ago. They were introduced to Europe by the Spanish in the early 16th century. The Spanish and  Italians seem to have been the first Europeans to accept them as food, In France, people grew. Tomatoes in the garden just to enjoy their beauty. Many people there thought  tomatoes would make them sick. It was years before some of them would eat tomatoes.
    Tomatoes are fruits. They grow from seeds. They won't grow in cold weather. But  with water, sunlight and warmth, tomatoes grow fast. They can grow in pots or in the  ground. As the plant grows taller,people may tie it to a stick. Next is the blooming stage  Flowers appear. The flowers turn into fruit.Some kinds of tomatoes can be picked in  about six more weeks. Some tomatoes are large.One kind of tomato can weigh as much  as two pounds.
    You can eat raw tomatoes. First, wash them. Then, cut them up for, salads or  sandwiches. Tomatoes can be cooked, too. They can be grilled, boiled, or even fried. Do  you use ketchup？ It is made from tomatoes.Tomatoes don't have a smell. But they taste great in foods around the world. Many dishes from India use tomatoes. Spaghetti sauce  and pizza from Italy use them, too. Raw tomatoes are in Mexican salsa.

9. （2020•衢州中考)短文截取《哈克贝利•费恩历险记》中的一部分，主要介绍Huck受不了父亲的毒打，于是他趁父亲外出的机会，先安排了一个自己被杀死，尸体被扔到河里的假象，然后就偷了小船，逃到了杰克逊岛上躲了起来的故事。
My father, who was always drunk and angry, beat me more and more every day. He  always locked the door when he went away and kept the key in this pocket. One day I  found an old saw （锯子) that he hid in the roof. When I was alone in the house, I started to make a hole on the floor under the big table.
    The next day my father said,"Huck, go to the river and catch some fish for breakfast. Quickly! And don't try anything. Remember, I'm watching you!"
    While I was fishing by the river, I saw an empty boat nearby.
    "A boat!" I thought happily,"This is my chance to escape. I'll hide the boat near some trees and use it tonight!"
    When my father went to town that afternoon, I got my saw and started to work on  the hole. It was late afternoon when I finished making the hole.
    "I did a good job,"I thought, looking at the hole. "Now I'll get my father's gun.
    I looked outside the window and there was nobody there. I quickly escaped through the hole. Then I ran into the woods to hunt a wild pig. Luckily, I found one. I shot it and took it back to the house and let the pig's blood fall on the wooden floor of the house.  Then I pulled some of my hair out and put it on my father's  axe（斧子) with some of the pig's blood. I took the pig's body outside and put it in a big bag  with some rocks, and threw it into the river.
    "This way people will think__▲__ !"I thought. "They'll come and look for my body in the river."This idea made me smile.
    I waited until it was dark and got into the boat and went to Jackson's Island. I knew about Jackson's Island because Tom, Ben, Joe and I had a lot of fun adventures there.

10. （2020•衢州中考)本文讲述了Franklin曾经做了一个闪电的实验，但是如今很多科学家对这个实验持有不同的意见，作者通过这个事情告诉我们，不要总相信我们听到或读到的故事，那未必是一个真实的情况。
On a June afternoon in 1752， the sky began to get dark over the city. As the storm  broke, most people surely hurried inside, but not Benjamin. Franklin. He decided it was the perfect time to fly a kite. 
Franklin had been waiting for a chance like this. He wanted to show the connection between lightning（ 闪电)and electricity, and to do so, he needed a storm.
    He walked into field, and flew a kite with a piece of rope tied to it. A key was tied  to the rope. The lightning hit the kite, and electricity passed through the rope to the key.  Franklin then touched the key with his finger and got an electric shock（电击). This, he said, proved （证明) the electrical nature of lightning.
    For many years, schools have taught the story of  Franklin's experiment. Millions of school children have been amazed by his courage and his scientific spirit of looking for the truth. However, new research suggests that the story may be fiction instead of fact. 
Although Franklin's experiment took place, more than one scientist has questioned 
what really happened.It's true that he did the experiment with the rope and the key. But  scientists all agree that if Franklin had actually touched the key, he would certainly have died from the electric  shock.
    Scientists often question accepted ideas because they want to find out the facts. Some have even questioned the story about the apple that fell on Newton's head. Many reports  suggest that although the falling apple certainly provided ideas,there is nothing to show  that the apple actually hit him on the head,
In fact, fiction is often more interesting than the truth.People have been more  encouraged by Franklin's spirit than by the facts themselves. But in science, facts should  be tested by experiments and research, and we should not always believe everything we  read or hear even if it is a great story.

1. Franklin did the experiment in order to prove 　D　.
A. he was an excellent scientist
B. flying a kite in the storm was safe
C. he was not afraid of lightning
D. lightning was a form of electricity

2.The underlined word "fiction" probably means something 　A　.
A.not true
B.quite different
C.not safe
D.quite necessary

3.Some scientists questioned whether Franklin 　B　 in the experiment.
A. flew a kite
B. touched the key
C. was present
D. discovered electricity

4.The purpose of the passage is to tell us 　D　.
A. Franklin's spirit is encouraging
B. fiction is more interesting than the truth
C. Franklin's experiment is not real
D. we shouldn't always believe accepted ideas

（2020•淮安)本文讲述了现在青少年很依赖电子产品，通过研究表明，电子产品会影响孩子的睡眠，所以呼吁学生们用传统的闹钟来代替移动电话来叫醒孩子们。
Recently children have been told to buy traditional alarm clocks instead of mobile phones to wake them up in the morning.Schools will advise pupils to turn off mobile phones or iPads in the evening to have enough sleep.
Researchers from a charity say that using internet-connected devices（装置)in the evening can prevent children getting more rest.Moreover, they suggest that school children should
invest in a real alarm clock to make sure that they get a good night's sleep and arrive at school on time.
① .The result is that 40% pupils in secondary schools can now hardly get on well without these devices.About two-thirds of pupils have a habit of taking mobile phones to bed at night.

You draw, you paint, or you do sculptures.It doesn’t matter –everyone is an artist!
THE CASE FOR
We look at the Mona Lisa or a Picasso painting, and we say, "That’s art." But what about the amazing graffiti（涂鸦) on your street What about photographs posted online by our friends？What about your school art display? You worked hard, and it's great.So, is that art？To me, art is anything that’s creative.Of course, I like going to famous museums.But I also like drawing pictures of my friends.I'm not very good, but I'm creative I'm very interested in it, and my friends like it.Most of all, I like it！
Jane, age 15

THE CASE AGAINST
I like visiting art museums, too.Why? Because I like looking at good art.Art is not the drawings of four-year-old children.It isn't painting your body crazy colors and standing in the street.And it certainly isn’t graffiti.Some people say, "If it's creative and cool, it’s art.” I don t agree.Art is the result of hard work and study.My aunt is an artist.She went to art school or six years.She doesn't make much money, but sometimes her sculptures are on display.Her art is great.Art is very hard, and not many people can do it well.
Kayla, age 16
( A )1.What do Jane and Kayla argue（争辩)about？
A.Whether everyone is an artist. B Whether children should learn an
C.Whether artists make much money.D.Whether people like visiting museums

（2020•盐城)本文主要讲了电动车的优势以及面临的问题。
All about Electric Cars
Electric vehicles（电动车辆)have been around for more than a hundred years.But they have really been liked by a large number of people over the last ten years.More than three million all-electric cars trucks and vans arc now on the road worldwide.
Helping the Environment
Most cars run on gasoline（汽油).Burning gasoline and other fossil fuels（矿物燃料) produces greenhouse gases.Electric vehicles don’t bum gasoline.Instead, strong batteries run their electric engines.So, electric vehicles don't directly produce greenhouse gases.

Poop Power!
Electric vehicles are better for the environment.But they are not perfect.Their batteries often use electricity（电)that was made by burning fossil fuels.But an electric vehicle uses less energy than a vehicle that runs on gasoline.Plus, some of the electricity comes from "greener" sources, such as solar and wind power.And some may soon come from a new source-cow poop（牛粪)! An electric car company has worked together with a large dairy farm.They plan to make electricity using a greenhouse gas from cow poop.
Always Improving
One of the problems for electric vehicles is their limited range.This is how far they can travel before their batteries need another charge（充电).But now their range is improving.Some new electric vehicles can travel almost three times as far as older ones did.Another problem is finding a place to recharge the batteries.But the number of charging stations is going up as well.China now has thousands more charging stations than it did ten years ago.In Sweden, engineers have even designed a road that will charge electric vehicles as they drive along.
(B)1.Which of the following truly describes electric vehicles according to Paragraph 1?
A.Useless. B.Popular. C.Cheap. D.Perfect
(A)2.What does the picture above show ?
A.Parts of an electric car. B Ways of driving a car.
C.Wheels on an electric car. D.Batteries in an electric car.
(C)3.How does the electric car company plan to make electricity according to Paragraph 3？
A.By burning gasoline. B By burning fossil fuels.
C.By using a gas coming from cow poop. D By using solar and wind power.
(D)4.What is the last paragraph mainly about？
A.Reasons for buying new electric cars.
B.Importance of electric cars in our life.
C.Ways to produce more electric vehicles.
D.Problems and improvements of electric vehicles.

“Oh? And what is the reason?" Manningtree asked.
“ I have almost finished the medicine you gave me, " Wayde said.“Have you found out how to make it?”
Again Manningtree laughed."Oh, yes,” he said.“ I have known how to make it for a long time I knew how to make it when I was at school.”
"What do you mean?” Wayde asked.
“ My dear friend and Prime Minister, " Manningtree said, "the medicine I gave you was just a bottle of distilled water.”
“ But the colour.”
“Oh, I added some coloring.”
“Then, the medicine did me no good, " Wayde said.

Part-time work
A part-time job is a choice for teenagers who don’t have pocket money or who want to get extra money.About 15% teenagers have a job.Only children over the age of 13 can work.Popular part-time jobs for teens include babysitting, delivering（递送)newspapers, restaurant work and shop work.Children in Britain can work two hours a day at the most on a school day but not during school hours.During weekends and school holidays, they can work longer hours.
Bank accounts（账户)

（2020•连云港)本文主要讲了科学家对于植物的研究，发现植物也会尖叫，也有痛感。
We always think that it’s OK for us to leave our plants home during our vacation as plants won’t scream like pets, right?
A recent study done by a group of scientists at the Tel Aviv University has discovered that some plants will scream when they are under stress.
The research was carried out on tomato plants and tobacco plants by cutting their stems（茎) and depriving（剥夺) them of water.A microphone was placed 10cm away from them.When their stems were cut, the plants started “screaming” between 20 and 100 kilohertz, and the scientists guess that this scream is probably meant to warn other plants nearby.
When the tomato plants’ stems were cut, 25 ultrasonic（超声的) pain sounds were recorded in an hour, and at the same time, 15 ultrasonic pain sounds were recorded from the tobacco plants.When they were deprived of water, the tomato plants recorded even more pain sounds with 35 pain sounds in an hour while the tobacco plants recorded about 11 pain sounds.
The plants also acted differently to different kinds of stresses.For example, the tobacco plants gave out a stronger “scream” when they were deprived of water than when their stems were cut.But plants that were in no immediate（立刻的)danger gave out less than one ultrasonic sound per hour.
The group of scientists said that plants are not as quiet as we had always thought, but in fact their voices are so high-pitched that we just can’t hear them.
Last year, another study has found out that plants feel pain when they are touched or hurt and they will give off a terrible smell.

（ A )1.What have the group of scientists at the Tel Aviv University discovered?

（ A )3.How many ultrasonic pain sounds did the tobacco plants give out in an hour when deprived of water？
A.11. B.15. C.25. D.35.
（ C )4.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Tomato plants acted the same under different stresses.
B.Tobacco plants gave off a smell when they were safe.
C.Plants not in immediate danger screamed most weakly.
D.Plants that felt pain screamed loudly for people to hear.

A horse fair is an interesting place.There were young horses from the country, little Welsh ponies and many beautiful horses too.But there were also a lot of poor, thin horses, tired from hard work.I was very sad to see them.
At the horse fair there was a man with a gentle voice and kind grey eyes.He offered 23 pounds for me, but they refused.Then a man with a very loud voice came.I was afraid he was going to buy me, but he walked off.Then the grey-eyed man came back again and said:
“I’ll give 24 for him.”
“Done,” said the salesman.“He’s a quality horse and if you want him for cab（出租马车)work, he’s a bargain.”
Half an hour later we set off for London, along country roads, until we came to that great city.There were streets to the right, and streets to the left.We went into one of the small streets, and then into a very narrow street, with small, old houses.
My owner stopped at a house.The door opened, and a woman, a little girl and boy, came out.
“Is he gentle, father?”
“Yes, Dolly, as gentle as a kitten; you can pat him.”
Dolly, the little girl, patted my shoulder without fear.It felt so good! They led me into a comfortable, clean stable, and after a delicious meal I lay down to sleep, thinking” I’m going to very happy here”.
My new owner’s name was Jerry.His wife was called Polly and they had two children, Harry and Dolly.The next morning they came to see me.I loved it when they patted me and spoke in gentle voices.
“Let’s call him ‘Jack’, after the old horse, shall we, Harry?” said Dolly.
“Yes, let’s,” said Harry.
The first week of my life as Jack, the London cab horse was very hard.The noise and the people and the traffic on the streets scared me.But Jerry was a very good driver, and that helped a lot Jerry soon found that I was ready to work hard and do my best.and d he didn’t whip（鞭打)me.

Tourists in Kuala Lumpur like watching the tea sellers make ‘pulled tea’.The tea sellers pour hot water on black tea.After five minutes, they add sugar and milk.Then they ‘pull’ the tea—they pour the tea from one cup to another many times.
In many countries, you must have a special kettle to make tea.People in different countries also like to add different things to their tea.For example, Russians use a special kettle called a samovar.They like drinking tea with lemon.Sometimes, they also drink tea with some sugar or jam.

At my school, fourth graders need to learn different dances, then dress up for a fancy party where we ask partners to dance with us.This makes me nervous, and I’m not looking forward to it.How should I handle this situation?
My sister is home for college break，and lucky me, she’s my roommate.As I’m 12 and she’s almost 19, we both want our own space.I know she doesn’t mean it personally, but she always complains that she doesn’t have a home, which makes me feel as if I’m intruding in my own room.Do I tell her how I feel or let it go?

Bertha: Just call me Miss Bertha or Bertha, please, but not “Ms.”
Me: Okay, sorry about that.So, you’ve been on Earth for about a week now.What have been your biggest disappointments or challenges so far?

“Look at Amy’s picture!” Mom said, too loud. She does that when she’s excite, 
because she can't hear herself. Some kids turned to stare at us and I wanted to hide.
    I led my family into my classroom and looked around. Other kids and parents were there, but I didn’t see Evelyn.
    Ms. Jennings walked over to us. I introduced her to my family and explained that my parents are deaf.
    “Oh,” she said. “Well, how do you say ‘Welcome!’ in sign language？”
    “Like this.” I swept my open right hand in toward my body, palm （掌心) up.
    She repeated the movement.
    “Thank you,”Mom said, smiling. It’s nice to meet you.”
    Ms. Jennings looked surprised. “You speak very well,” she said.
    In sign language, I repeated what Ms. Jennings had said in case my parents hadn't read her lips （嘴唇).
    Mom nodded. “I lost my hearing as a child, after I’d learned to talk. Amy's father was born deaf. He can talk, too, but he’s shy about his voice.”
    Dad smiled in agreement.
    Some of my classmates were watching us and whispering. Then I noticed Evelyn and her mom standing by the door.
    “I sit over there, ” I told my family and quickly walked toward my desk.
    “Hi, Amy,” Evelyn said suddenly.
    I turned around. “Hi.”
    “I didn’t know your parents are deaf,” she said.
    “Yeah.” I couldn’t think of anything else to say.
    “And you can talk to them with your hands？ That’s so cool.”
    “You think so？” I asked. I exhaled with relief.
    Evelyn nodded. "It's like a secret code. Would you teach me some words sometime？"
    I smiled. "Of course."
    “One of my dad’s neighbours uses sign,” she said. “Maybe I can surprise her with a greeting next time I visit my dad.”
    “Your dad doesn't live with you？”I said.
    She shook her head. "My parents are separated.”
    “Oh, I…” I’d been so worried about my family that I hadn’t thought about Evelyn’s family.  “Hey, if you come over tomorrow, we can practice some sign language then.”

（2020•扬州)本文主要讲了疫情期间，新加坡的科学家所做的一项实验，他们将一个机器狗放入公园中以提醒人们保持安全距离的事情。

Since May 8， Boston Dynamics, dog-like robot, Spot, has been in use at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park in Singapore to help encourage social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic （新冠肺炎疫情) according to a report in the South China Morning Post.
    Singpore′s government is funding the experiment of the robotic dog, which will last for two weeks at the park during off-peak（非高峰的) hours.
    "The robot isn′t enforcing （强制 ). It′s just giving people information and encouraging them, "Boston Dynamics founder Marc Raibert told CNBC. "When Spot is patrolling（巡逻)the area, there′s a parks officer nearby who can do whatever enforcement he decides is suitable. "
    Cameras fixed on Spot will scan the surroundings and help officers work out the number of visitors in the park, but they cannot read faces and won′t collect any personal information. It also carries a loudspeaker to broadcast a pre-recorded message to remind visitors of the importance of social distancing.
    Without enough manpower, Singapore is turning to robotics to reduce the manpower required for park patrols and remind people about the risks they may be putting themselves and others in.
    The question, however, is whether their use of Spot will be a good tool or will or only attract more people to it instead.
    If the two-week experiment proves successful, the government will consider using Spot at the park during peak hours. Singapore will also do studies to see if it′s worth using other Spots in other parks. Already, Singapore engineers are trying to improve Spot, making it tell if people are together in a group or strangers passing on the grass.
    No one knows if Spot will stay after the pandemic is gone, but one thing is for sure： the robot is the hardest working dog in the world.

（2020•泰州)讲故事
Once upon a time, a king dressed up and went to a local village.He placed a large stone in the middle of the main road and hid gold coins under the stone.Then he hid behind a huge tree and watched.
The first person down the street was a milkman with his car (小车).He crashed into the stone and the milk spread all over the ground.“What fool put this stone here? “he shouted.He picked himself up and angrily went away.
After a while, a group of women came along, each balancing a pot of water on her head.One woman tripped over (绊倒) the stone and her water pot went crashing to the ground.She picked herself up and walked away in tears.Neither she nor her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road.

（2020•苏州)开发机器人是浪费钱，开发机器人可能有很好的理由，但作者目前还没想到。

I think there are several reasons that suggest developing robots is a waste of money.
In San Diego recently $325,000 was spent on inventing a robotic squirrel to do some scientific experiments.The research proved that squirrels are able to scare away snakes by wagging (摇动) their tails.Do you need a robotic squirrel to work this out?
What about AIBO, a robotic pet, developed in Japan? In Japanese aibou means “buddy”.These pets have been developed at huge cost mainly to provide entertainment.They've been used in movies and music videos.Universities have used them for educational purposes.However, in 2006 the company stopped producing these robotic pets in order to save money.Was it worth a lot of money?
Then there’s NAO a robot which has been developed by a French company.Its main purpose is to make life easier for humans.It speaks 19 languages and has its own personality.It can tell children a story, help in the classroom or the home, or act as a companion to those people who need someone to be with.A fully developed one costs $16,000.Is that value for money? Who can afford it anyway?
There may be good reasons why it is worth developing robots, but so far I haven’t thought of any.
( Ｄ )1.What does the underlined word “companion” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?
　　　A.公司　　B.机构　　C.对手　　D.伙伴
( Ｃ )２.What is the true fact about the robots mentioned?
　　A.The robotic squirrel is needed by every scientist to do some research.
　B.AIBO wasn’t made any more because it only provided entertainment.
　C.A fully developed NAO may tell kids stories in different languages.
　D.All the three types of robots used to be produced at a very low cost.
(Ｃ)３.What does the writer think of developing robots?
　　A.It can help bring people a lot of fun. B.It has advantages in many ways.

（2020•苏州)不要以貌取人，因为外表不能说明真相。
“This is John,” said Mr Turner.The boy standing next to him was tall, with a friendly face.I noticed Adam and Chen give each other the thumbs (大拇指) up.That meant they were going to invite him to join the cool group.They smiled at him and he smiled back.
Mr Turner always gave new students a buddy with the same hobbies as them.I was sure he wouldn’t choose me.I wasn’t one of the cool kids.
“Hyun, I want you to be John’s buddy this term,” said Mr Turner.Me? I couldn’t believe my ears! Everyone in the class looked in my direction.Adam and Chen even looked unhappy.
John walked over to my desk and sat down beside me.He smiled at me.“Hello,” he said in a confident voice.
“Hello,” I replied, not looking at him.
All morning I could feel the boys in the cool group looking angrily at me, but John didn’t seem to notice.
Finally the bell rang for a break.I had butterflies in my stomach.I knew that Adam and Chen were going to make fun of me in front of John, and that John would decide that he’d rather be buddies with them.
Sure enough, as soon as we got outside, Adam and Chen swaggered (大摇大摆地走) up to us.
“Mr Turner says you’re a good basketball player, John,” said Adam.“How’d you like to play with us at lunch break? Hyun doesn’t know anything about basketball."
“No thanks,” said John.“I’d rather play chess with Hyun, if he doesn’t mind.Mr Turner says he’s an excellent player.”
I was walking on air as John and I crossed the playground.I remembered the saying we learnt in class about not judging (判断) a book by its cover.I completely misjudged John.

　　A.Adam B.Mr Turner C.Chen D.John
( Ａ )２.The sentence “I was walking on air…” in the last paragraph shows that the writer 　　felt_______.
