Some new technologies might make you feel that way. Digital billboards (电子屏幕) are able to recognize certain human characteristics (特征). They have cameras pointed at the people on the street, and can recognize people’s age, a man or a woman. Then a computer inside the billboard uses this information to make ads (advertisements) for the people who are looking at the billboard. For example, if a man passes a billboard showing an ad about women clothes, the computer can change the ad to something such as men’s sporting shoes, to catch the man’s attention.Although advertisers see this as a great chance to reach their customers, some people feel that this is an invasion (侵犯) of their privacy. However, advertisers say that the billboards will not be able to recognize their face or get any personal information about them.In fact, this kind of “personal” advertising has already appeared on the Internet. Search engines (引擎) like Google and Bing can follow what we search for. When we have searched for some products and services, companies then pay search engines to use it in ads. So if you search for travel information, you may see ads for airlines and hotels. This kind of advertising has proved to work better than traditional advertising.In today’s world, people see thousands of ads every day, but they don’t take much notice. Advertisers are trying to change that by personalizing the experience of seeing an ad. So pay attention the next time you see a billboard—it would be talking to you.1．When you watch a billboard showing ads on the street, _______.A．people will pay more attention to you B．it will change ads to catch your attentionC．cameras will record what you are wearing D．computers will steal your personal information2．From the second paragraph, we can learn that _______.A．a good chance makes business easy B．the customer is always GodC．each person has his own opinion D．private information is important3．The underlined word “it” refers to _______.A．the tool customers use B．the technology they developC．the information we search for D．the chance companies get4．What is the best title for the passage?A．The rise of a new advertising B．The advantage of billboardsC．The history of advertising D．The invention of billboardsBA European Union program is letting blind people experience famous paintings for the first time. It uses three dimensional (3-D) printing to recreate famous paintings so they can be touched.One painting printed with the new technology is Gustav Klimt’s “The Kiss”. It is a popular attraction at the Belvedere Museum in Vienna, Austria. The painting shows a man and a woman standing in a field filled with flowers. They are wearing gold robes and have their arms around each other. The man leans down to kiss the woman.Klimt finished the painting in 1908. Until now, people who had trouble seeing could not appreciate the artwork. But thanks to the reproduction, they can touch the piece and feel the ridges and depressions. Andreas Reichinger started making 3-D versions of artwork in 2010. He said this reproduction was his most difficult project because the couple’s robes are so detailed.Dominika Raditsch is a blind museum visitor. She touched the reproduction. As she moved her hands around it she said, “Exactly, can you see these? There are so many details.” Raditsch said she can imagine what the original painting looks like when she touches the reproduction. “It’s somehow round. You can feel it. It comes with it. And in many places it’s so smooth. And then I think to myself: it probably shines too!” Raditsch said.The Belvedere is not the only museum to have 3-D versions of its artwork. Some of the pieces at the Prado, in Madrid, Spain, have reproductions that can be touched. But the piece in Vienna has one special part: it is made with widely available 3-D printing technology. That means one day, blind art fans anywhere in the world could download the source files and print the reproductions themselves.5．What is “The kiss”?A．A European Union project. B．A popular painting.C．A 3-D technology. D．A famous museum.6．Why did Reichinger say this reproduction was difficult to finish?A．The painting was reproduced detailedly. B．The original artwork was made in 1908.C．Blind art fans can’t download the source. D．The 3-D technology is not available.7．How did Raditsch feel when she first touched the reproduction?A．Worried. B．Afraid. C．Excited. D．Nervous.8．What is the best title for the text?A．A European Union Program for Museum Visitors    B．3-D Printing Lets Blind Experience Famous PaintingC．How to Reproduce the World-famous Paintings     D．A Special Museum for Art Fans in Vienna, Austria三、任务型阅读（2篇）AMany people think stress is bad for health. It raises the risk of everything from the common cold to serious diseases. Usually, we turn stress into the enemy. However, a study has given us a whole new look at it.In the study, if people with lots of stress don’t believe stress can harm them, they will have the lowest risk of dying, including people with a little stress.Can changing how you think about stress make you healthier? Science says yes. When you change your mind about stress, you can change your body’s response (反应) to stress. People who consider the stress response as helpful for their life are less stressed, less worried and more confident. How you think and act can change your experience of stress. When you choose to think your stress response is helpful, you create the biology of courage. When you are stressed and choose to communicate with others, you can create resilience (韧性).You can get away from the bad influences of stress on your health. The most amazing thing is that stress makes you social. Your stress response wants to make sure you notice others in trouble so that you can support each other. When life is hard, your stress response wants you to stay with people who care about you.Also, stress is not useless. It helps us reach our hearts. Our kindness finds joy and meaning in contacting others. Your heart beats so fast to give you more strength and energy. You should think of stress in a new way. If so, you’re not just getting better at stress. You can trust yourself to deal with challenges and believe you don’t have to face them on your own.How do you make a choice between a stressful life and life without stress? Stress lies in many meaningful things. So the best answer is to go after what creates meaning in your life.Then trust yourself to deal with the stress that follows and make friends with it.How to Change Stress into Your _____1_____Common thoughtStress is bad for us and lets the risk of getting sick _____2_____.New study about stressRound-upIf people with stress don't believe stress is_____3_____, they will have the lowest risk of dying.Change your mind about stressWhen considering stress response is of some_____4_____to life, people will feel less stressed.Your experience of stress_____5_____on how you think and act under stress.The bad influences of stress on your health can be_____6_____.Stress makes you social.

Wind energy is one of the causes of great waves in the world’s oceans. Winds can help create powerful storms, but wind is a force you can’t see but can surely feel. Its power can be used to create electricity for cities and the countryside.Wind can also power many expressions in American English. Let’s start with a simple one. If you run like the wind, you are a very fast runner. After running, sometimes you can feel full of energy. The runner gets what we call a second wind. We use this expression when we are tired, but then get more energy to finish something. For example, sometimes I feel tired after work. But after a short rest and a cup of tea, I get my second wind. I’m ready to do something fun with my friends and family.If you are doing something difficult, it is good to have the wind at your back. In this way, it is easier to go forward. It’s always more difficult to do something in a strong wind–unless you are sailing. Knowing the direction of the wind is the most important part of sailing. When wind fills a sail, it makes the boat go faster. If you take the wind out of someone’s sails, you prevent them from reaching their goals. You create a barrier(障碍) or stop them in some way. In life, it’s lucky to have friends who want to fill your sails with wind and not take it out.Let’s turn from sailing to music. Many songwriters use the image(形象) of wind in their songs. If something such as an idea is blowing in the wind, it is being discussed but has yet to be decided. When a singer sings “you don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows,” he means that you don’t need someone in power to confirm something for you. Just trust yourself. You can find it out on your own. So, when you know which way the wind blows, you know what is going on.Now you know which way the wind blows. Then how can you use these expressions properly? First, read them aloud and keep them in mind. Then, practice using them and test yourself. You know, practice makes perfect.Do you know which way the wind blows?A powerful force in nature◆Wind may   11   great waves in the world’s oceans, can help create storm and be used to create electricity.      Wind and its   12   About running◆     A person who runs like the wind is a very   13   runner.◆     When the runner gets a   14   wind after running, he feels full of energy again.  About  sailing◆ If you are sailing, it’s much   15    to go forward with the wind at your back.◆ When a sail is   16   with wind, the boat will go faster.◆ You are   17   to have a friend who wants to take the wind out of your sail.  About music◆     The image of wind is   18   by many songwriters.◆     When an idea is blowing in the wind, it hasn’t been decided and needs   19  . ◆     When you know which way the wind blows, you know what is going on.  20   on learning◆     Read them aloud and remember them.◆     Practice using them and test yourself. 四、缺词填空（2篇）AHave you had any problems during learning English?

As a middle school student, I welcome it warmly. Firstly, we should have hardworking spirit classes to learn some basic life skills at school every week. Secondly, we can take part in out-of-class activities such as planting trees or growing vegetables to enrich our real-world work experience. Also, we need to try to do some chores at home, like tidying rooms, washing clothes or cooking some dishes. Above all, we could form good working habits and value the importance of working hard through our experience.In a word, the hardworking spirit education is necessary and it helps to build us up.      In China, red is a traditional colour that can be found almost everywhere. It means a lot to every Chinese.It is a symbol of good luck and happiness. We can see red on some big days, such as the Spring Festival or wedding days. To express our great joy and wishes, we often put up red lanterns, give hongbao or prepare other red items. Chinese red also stands for hard work and success. It is chosen as the colour of Chinese national flag, reminding us of how Chinese people fought for our country before. Today more of us take red tours and sing red songs, which fill us with pride and strength to work harder.In conclusion, Chinese red plays a significant role in our traditional culture.
