Giving flowers to others is a way of showing feelings to them. Although it's one of the oldest traditions, it has never lost its charm(魅力). It's a simple way that speaks much for givers, much more than the most expensive gift can. A red rose carries a message of love, and a bunch of flowers can show warmth and convey a message of love. Flowers can be used in many occasions(场合), like at parties and at festivals.
The choice of flowers for different occasions changes. It depends on the thoughts or feelings you want to show. Sunflowers are often used on Father's Day, while some females' flowers such as white or red carnations are often given on Mother's Day.
The languages of the flowers convey much more than the spoken language does. Flowers are perfect gifts for all occasions. They carry love, cheer and warm feelings. So it's important to choose right flowers on right occasions. Keep the following rules in mind, please.
♦Choosing flowers' colours which are suitable for the occasions.
♦Knowing about what your friends or family like most can make our choice easy.
♦Giving flowers properly, which is the key to conveying your message. For example, giving roses to girls is better than giving sunflowers to them.
♦The bunch of flowers should be full of colours.
( )54.Giving flowers to others is a way of showing feelings that ______.
A. People in modern society start to use B. people seldom use
C. people don't use any more now D. People like using all the time

Nature shows itself in many ways. One of its most terrible forms is a kind of storm known as a typhoon, cyclone or hurricane. When the storms form in the Northwest Pacific Ocean (太平洋) , they are called typhoons. In the South Pacific and the Indian Oceans, they are called cyclones. In the central and eastern North Pacific and the North Atlantic Oceans, they are hurricanes.
The storm can stretch (延展) over 900 kilometres across. The winds inside the storm can reach a speed (速度) of more than 320 kilometres each hour. The storm may also reach a height of up to 15 kilometres. The"eye"of a storm is a calm area with low wind speed. When the storm reaches the land, it is sometimes strong enough to tear trees out of the ground. Heavy rains often cause floods and wash away buildings.
A new study shows that, during the last 70 years, the speed of many storms slowed down. As a result, they provided more and more rain on land. Then they caused a lot of floods. In August 2017, Hurricane Harvey moved so slowly across the U. S. state of Texas that it was able to make more than 30 inches of rain. It led to serious results.
According to scientists, the reason for these slower-moving storms is global warming. Over the years, the Earth's temperature slowly rose. This caused air circulation (空气环流) to weaken (变弱) . As a result, the winds got weaker. So the storms slowed down.
( )57. What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?
A. Most of the storms come from oceans.
B. The storm travels a long distance to reach land.
C. Typhoon can show itself in many different ways.
D. The names of the storm are different in different areas.
( )59. What are mentioned (提到) about the storm in Paragraph2?
① Its big size. ② The areas it reaches. ③Its moving directions. ④ The disasters it causes.
A. ①② B. ①④ C. ②③ D. ③④
( )60. What does he writer want to tell us by talking about Hurricane Harvey?
A. The speed of storms often changes.
B. Hurricane Harvey caused terrible disasters.
C. During the last 70 years, many storms happened.
D. It can lead to bad results when the speed of storms slows down.
( )58. We can see the passage in ______ .
A. a history book B. a science magazine C. a weather report D. a biology textbook
(D)
Many kinds of animals lived in the mountain. A deer was eating grass and leaves with her two children. Suddenly, she found that her children entered a tiger’s cave (洞穴). Luckily, the tiger was not inside the cave at the time.
The deer was trying to lead her young ones out of the cave. Suddenly, she saw a tiger was coming towards the cave. It was dangerous to go out of the cave now. So the deer shouted, “My young children, I shall catch a tiger for you to eat. You can have a good dinner.”
The tiger was surprised and said to himself, “Whose is that strange voice from the cave? A dangerous animal is staying inside to catch me. I shall run away.”
A fox saw the running tiger. “Why are you running fast?” the fox asked. The tiger said, “My friend, a powerful animal has come to stay in my cave. The mother is promising to catch a tiger for the young ones to eat. So, I am running away.”
The fox laughed and said to the tiger. “Don’t be afraid. No animal is stronger than a tiger. Trust me. Let us tie our tails together. Then I will not be able to leave you.”
The tiger agreed unwillingly. The fox tied their tails in a knot and they walked towards the cave together.
The deer saw the fox and the tiger coming together. She shouted towards her children inside the cave, “My dear children, I had asked my friend, the fox, to catch a tiger for us. Now, look! The fox has caught a tiger for us. He has tied the tiger’s tail to his tail.”
The tiger was very surprised and he was sure that the fox told a lie. So, the tiger decided to escape from the awful animal inside his cave. He started running and forgot about the fox. In the mad escape, the fox was caught between two rocks. The tiger pulled with all his force. His tail got cut. The fox was killed and the tail-less tiger ran away to another part of the forest.
The deer and her young ones left the tiger’s cave. They joined their friends safely.

After a long week, Sunday is the perfect day to sit down with families, relax and enjoy a special dinner: Sunday roast(周日大餐). 66
British people have eaten Sunday roasts for centuries. In the old days, people had to go to church(教堂) on Sundays. After that, people would be hungry. 67
So what is this tasty dish? Every Sunday dinner has roast meat, usually chicken or beef, roast potatoes, vegetables, and Yorkshire pudding. 68
What if you don't have time to make the traditional dinner? Not to worry. In Britain, there are special restaurants, called carveries. 69 The name carvery comes from the act of cutting the meat into slices before putting them on a plate.
70 Parents and children will sit down and tell each other about their week at work or school.
With many traditions fading(逐渐消失)，traditional Sunday dinners are as strong as ever. And I have a feeling that this traditional dinner will be on British tables.
A. Besides the tasty food, this meal is also a great time for families. B. This is tradition for many British people on Sundays. C. It is becoming popular in other countries now. D. This is a pudding made with eggs, milk and flour(面粉). E. There you can eat a Sunday roast. F. So families would get together to eat a big meal. |

六、阅读回答问题（共5小题，每小题2分，计10分）( no more than 6 words )
My grandma is a gentle old lady. Like many women of her time, she has a talent for sewing（缝纫）. She made all my childhood clothes on her own. As a young girl，rather than playing outside with my friends, I liked staying with my grandmother to help her sew. I was so interested in getting the threadthrough the eyes of the needle（针）.
·Later， instead of making clothes, my grandmother would sew gloves or insoles（鞋垫） for me. She cannot be with me all the time, but the love passed by her needle and thread warms me.
·It was my grandma who sparked my enthusiasm（热情） for sewing and taught me how to show love and care. Almost a year ago, I was trying to give my friend a birthday present. Then, I thought, “ Why don’t I saw her a gift?” I decided to make her a pencil case. I cut out the pattern from my old skirt，drew a design and started sewing. It took me many days to finish it. The final result wasn’t as pretty as I imagined. But it was the best pencil case that I could make.
Just yesterday, my friend called me and said that every time she sees the pencil case, she thinks of me and the warm feeling.
Sewing is a fantastic art form that can convey（传达）our love and care.
