3．（10分）Thousands of years ago，in the south of ancient China，there lived Shen Nong，a man who had an ox（牛）head and human body.Seeing that local people were suffering from diseases，he built ladders and houses on a high mountain to store hundreds of medical plants.To remember him，people named the place Shennongjia.
The legend（传说）makes Shennongjia in Hubei an inviting place for tourists.Traveling there is a unique experience，as you can see scenery of the four seasons from different altitudes（海拔）.
"When the bottom of the mountain is summer，the top is spring and while the foothill is autumn，the top is covered with ice，" local people say of the special climate of Shennongjia.
Shennongjia is also home to 5，000 species of animals and plants.Many animals in danger live there，such as the golden monkey，the clouded leopard and the Asian black bears.
One interesting and mysterious thing about Shennongjia is its legend of wild men.Some people once claimed（声称）that they saw big prints or big﹣foot creatures.Yet so far，scientists haven't proved it is true and some say they are just bears.
The beautiful place has recently received a new title.On July 17，2016，Shennongjia Forestry District was added to United Nations World Heritage List as a natural site.China now has 50 world heritage sites（遗址），second only to Italy in the world.

4．（10分）Small talk like"The weather today is beautiful，isn't it？ "or"Pretty nice place，huh？ " is a waste of time according to some people.But scientists believe that it is actually more useful than it may appear to be .
One example is on the train or plane.A study by the University of Chicago found that people who talk to strangers enjoy a better ride than those who sit in silence or keep playing with their phones.In the study，researchers asked people at Chicago train stations to start conversations with other travelers.Most of them refused to do so at first because they think they will not get a friendly answer.But the result is the opposite﹣most strangers didn't refuse to be talked to；instead，they were glad to be talked to.Nicholas Epley，one of the researchers said， "That's because human beings are social animals，they are afraid of being left
What′s more，small talk with strangers can help you feel connected with your surroundings （环境）.
Some studies found when people are often smiled at and spoken to，there are more chances for them to have a stronger sense of belonging.
Of course，a deep conversation gives you even more happiness than small talk.But deep conversations start with small talk.So the first step is to start talking，no matter how small the topic is And who knows，maybe an opening line as simple as "I like your hat"could lead to a serious conversation and you can learn a lot from a stranger.

5．（10分）One way to improve your English is to learn English idioms （习语） and then use them. （1） .
They make you sound more like a native speaker. Like other languages， English has thousands of idioms which you can use in many different situations， or to talk about your feelings and opinions. So how do you learn them？
Learn idioms in the context（上下文）
Don't learn idioms by making lists.（2） .Make sure you have an example of how the idiom is used， and know clearly whether it's common. This is important， because if you use the idiom in the wrong situation， it won't sound natural.

Understand the feeling
We often use an idiom to express a feeling or emotion. So for example， we say that someone has a heart of gold. Because gold is a valuable metal， we can imagine that someone with a heart of gold is a good person（4） .
Listen out for idioms
If you hear two words used together in an unusual way， it might be a new idiom.（5） . However，usually you might need to make a note of it or ask the person who has spoken it.
A. Idioms can be difficult
B. Instead， learn their meanings in the context
C Idioms can add interest to what you say or write
D. In fact， it does mean that a person is very kind
E. Sometimes you can guess its meaning in the context

3．（10分）Thousands of years ago，in the south of ancient China，there lived Shen Nong，a man who had an ox（牛）head and human body.Seeing that local people were suffering from diseases，he built ladders and houses on a high mountain to store hundreds of medical plants.To remember him，people named the place Shennongjia.
The legend（传说）makes Shennongjia in Hubei an inviting place for tourists.Traveling there is a unique experience，as you can see scenery of the four seasons from different altitudes（海拔）.
"When the bottom of the mountain is summer，the top is spring and while the foothill is autumn，the top is covered with ice，" local people say of the special climate of Shennongjia.
Shennongjia is also home to 5，000 species of animals and plants.Many animals in danger live there，such as the golden monkey，the clouded leopard and the Asian black bears.
One interesting and mysterious thing about Shennongjia is its legend of wild men.Some people once claimed（声称）that they saw big prints or big﹣foot creatures.Yet so far，scientists haven't proved it is true and some say they are just bears.
The beautiful place has recently received a new title.On July 17，2016，Shennongjia Forestry District was added to United Nations World Heritage List as a natural site.China now has 50 world heritage sites（遗址），second only to Italy in the world.

One example is on the train or plane.A study by the University of Chicago found that people who talk to strangers enjoy a better ride than those who sit in silence or keep playing with their phones.In the study，researchers asked people at Chicago train stations to start conversations with other travelers.Most of them refused to do so at first because they think they will not get a friendly answer.But the result is the opposite﹣most strangers didn't refuse to be talked to；instead，they were glad to be talked to.Nicholas Epley，one of the researchers said， "That's because human beings are social animals，they are afraid of being left
What′s more，small talk with strangers can help you feel connected with your surroundings （环境）.
Some studies found when people are often smiled at and spoken to，there are more chances for them to have a stronger sense of belonging.
Of course，a deep conversation gives you even more happiness than small talk.But deep conversations start with small talk.So the first step is to start talking，no matter how small the topic is And who knows，maybe an opening line as simple as "I like your hat"could lead to a serious conversation and you can learn a lot from a stranger.
（1）What does"small talk"mean according to the passage？
A.空谈
B.寒暄
C.小声交谈
（2）According to the study by the University of Chicago，what kind of passengers can enjoy a better ride？

5．（10分）One way to improve your English is to learn English idioms （习语） and then use them. （1） .
They make you sound more like a native speaker. Like other languages， English has thousands of idioms which you can use in many different situations， or to talk about your feelings and opinions. So how do you learn them？
Learn idioms in the context（上下文）
Don't learn idioms by making lists.（2） .Make sure you have an example of how the idiom is used， and know clearly whether it's common. This is important， because if you use the idiom in the wrong situation， it won't sound natural.
Don't try to learn too many at one time
（3） . For that reason， don't try to learn more than five at any one time. Don't forget： You'll need to practise your new idioms（like any new vocabulary）， so limit（限制） what you do in any lesson.
Understand the feeling
We often use an idiom to express a feeling or emotion. So for example， we say that someone has a heart of gold. Because gold is a valuable metal， we can imagine that someone with a heart of gold is a good person（4） .
Listen out for idioms
If you hear two words used together in an unusual way， it might be a new idiom.（5） . However，usually you might need to make a note of it or ask the person who has spoken it.
A. Idioms can be difficult
B. Instead， learn their meanings in the context
C Idioms can add interest to what you say or write
D. In fact， it does mean that a person is very kind
E. Sometimes you can guess its meaning in the context
