On Aug 1 of that year,Su set a new record of 9.83 seconds in the Tokyo Olympics Men's 100 m semifinals (半决赛),making him the first Chinese runner to enter the final in the event.For a long time,there was an idea that Asian people were not physically built to succeed in sprinting.Su's success broke this idea and inspired many people.
(1)How old was Yang Zhenning when he taught at Tsinghua?
A.35 years old.
B.100 years old.
C.80 years old.
D.60 years old.
(2)Which word can describe Su Bingtian best according to the passage?
A.Lucky.
B.Hard﹣working.
C.Clever.
D.Active.
(3)What do the three people have in common?
A.They were injured seriously during their work.
B.They served the country in their own ways.
C.They made people know more about China.
D.They returned to China when they were needed.
2.(8分)THE THIRD MONTH OF THE SCHOOL YEAR has now arrived.Have you noticed that when we talk about numbers,we naturally think of the number three?
In some ways, "three" is a number that has magical powers.You might have found that this number is all around us.Everything has a beginning,a middle,and an end.For example,we eat three meals a day.Traffic lights all over the world use three colors:red,yellow,and green.And there is the rule of three.It is an age﹣old writing skill.According to this rule,things can always become more satisfying to readers if they come in threes.Have you ever noticed how powerful ads use the rule of three to improve their marketing?Just do it.I'm loving it.Coke is it.These famous slogans (标语) are all three words long.
But what is it about the number three that makes it so magical?Well,it is because our brains enjoy thinking in patterns (规律).If there are no patterns,our brains will create them.And three is the smallest number needed to form a pattern.An audience member will usually only remember three things from a speech.Do you want something in your speech to keep in your audience's minds?Put it forward to them in groups of three.
If we properly use the rule of three in our daily lives,we can make many things easier.For example,many people like to add lots of tasks to their to﹣do lists.Experts,however,suggest they should just make three tasks.These top three tasks should be hard enough to be challenging while still being achievable.And the next time you are making New Year's resolutions,consider listing only three things to work on.The longer your list is,the less likely you are to keep it!
(1)How many examples are mentioned in Paragraph 2 to show "three" is all around us?
A.One
B.Two
C.Three
D.Four
(2)What's Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The reason why the number three is so magical.
B.How to make a speech keep in the audience's mind.
C.The reason why people only remember three things.
D.The ways that number three has magical powers
(3)According to the last paragraph,how can we make things easier?
A.Make three tasks as hard as possible.
B.Take three as the lucky number.
C.Have only three resolutions to work on.
D.Create three patterns in our brains.
(4)Which of the following should be the best title for the passage?
A.Famous Slogans
B.Magical Threes
C.Small Patterns
D.Achievable Tasks
3.(8分)A teacher decided to let her class play a game.She told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag with a few big potatoes.Each potato was given the name of a person that the child hated,so the number of potatoes that a child put in his or her plastic bag depended on the number of people he or she hated.
When the day came,every child brought some potatoes with the names of the people he or she hated.Some had two potatoes,some three while some had up to five potatoes.The teacher then told the children to carry the potatoes in the plastic bag with them wherever they went.
As days passed,the children started to complain because of the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten (腐烂的) potatoes.Besides,those having as many as five potatoes also had to carry heavier bags.After weeks,the children were relieved because the game had finally ended.
The teacher asked, "How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with you these days? " The children showed their frustrations (沮丧) and started complaining about the trouble they had to go through having to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they went.
Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game. "This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred for somebody inside your heart.The unpleasant smell of hatred will pollute your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go.If you cannot stand the smell of rotten potatoes for just a short period of time,can you imagine what it is like to have hatred in your heart for your lifetime?"
(1)What did the teacher ask the students to do?
A.To make the potatoes rotten in the bag.
B.To give each potato in the bag a name.
C.To take good care of the potatoes.
D.To get fun from the potato game.
(2)Why did some students have five potatoes in their bags?
A.Because they liked potatoes very much.
B.Because they wanted to win the game.
C.Because they had five hated people.
D.Because the bag is right for five potatoes.
(3)What does the underlined word "relieved" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.feeling happy because you aren't worried about something
B.feeling upset because you face some difficulties.
C.feeling angry because you can't control something
D.feeling sad because you lost something.
(4)What can we learn from the passage?
A.We should eat fresh vegetables instead of rotten ones to stay healthy
B.It's wise to ask the teacher for help in times of difficulties.
C.Playing games can sometimes cause pollution to the environment.
D.Taking a dislike would bring people trouble instead of happiness
4.(8分)Governments around the world are pushing for an end to plastic straws (吸管) and bags.More and more businesses are changing to paper products.Using paper is considered to be better than plastic.However,it is harmful to the environment,too.
Firstly,paper bags and straws are made from trees.Trees,as you know,are good for the environment.They can slow down climate change.An increase in the use of paper bags can cause more deforestation (毁林).
Secondly,the production of paper things requires more energy and water.About 10 percent more energy and four times as much water is used to produce a paper bag than a plastic one.You might say that we can use recycled paper to save that energy and water.This seems to be a good idea.However,it takes even more energy and water to go through the recycling process (过程) than to make a new paper bag.Products made from recycled paper are also often short﹣lived.
Furthermore,paper products are heavier than plastic ones.That means they require more fuel to transport.Seven trucks are needed to transport two million paper bags,while only one truck is needed to transport the same number of plastic bags.The increased weight also leads to a larger amount of waste once the bags are thrown away.
Paper products are actually a lose﹣lose for both the environment and businesses.They are more expensive than plastic products.A paper straw costs about 5 to 12 cents,while a plastic one usually costs only about 2 cents.
The most environment﹣friendly way is to avoid single﹣use things altogether.Products like glass water bottles and steel straws can be used over and over again.They are much better than either paper products or plastic products.By increasing the use of these items,you can greatly reduce your throwaway waste and truly make our earth a greener place!
(1)What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.using plastic straws
B.using plastic bags.
C.using paper products.
D.using single﹣use things.
(2)What does the writer think of the recycled paper?
A.It saves energy and water.
B.It seems not to be a good idea.
C.It is better than single﹣use paper.
D.It's easy to make by recycling process.
(3)What is the writer's main purpose of writing this passage?
A.To introduce the disadvantages of paper products.
B.To call on using products in an environment﹣friendly way.
C.To compare paper products with plastic products.
D.To explain why paper products are bad for the environment
(4)Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph)
A.
B.
C.
D.
第二节
5.(10分)Some people believe that humans could live on the planet Mars by the year 2100.Here is what life there could be like.
(1)
With the development of technology,by the year 2100,the journey might only take about 20 minutes in spacecraft that travel at the speed of light!However,the spacecraft would travel so fast that the journey to Mars might be quite uncomfortable.Many people would feel ill.
(2)
Humans cannot survive without water,oxygen or food.So far nobody knows whether there would be enough water or oxygen on Mars.Moreover,scientists are not sure whether plants could grow on Mars.Food would probably be in the form of pills and would not be so tasty.
(3)
Gravity could be another problem.The gravity on Mars is only about three﹣eighths of that on the Earth.People would have to wear boots that are specially designed to prevent themselves from
floating off into space.
(4)
Compared with life on the Earth,life on Mars would be better in some ways.People would have more space.They might live in houses with huge comfortable rooms.Also,robots would do most of their work so that they could have more time to relax.
(5)
There would probably be no schools on Mars.Every student would have a computer at home connected to an interplanetary network.They would study at online schools with "e﹣teachers".The "e﹣teachers" can help with their schoolwork at any time.
A.The food on Mars
B.Another problem on Mars
C.The way to Mars
D.The good things on Mars
E.The school on Mars
F.The feelings on Mars

第二节
7.(10分)We know really well about ourselves.If you(1) (ask) to describe yourself to someone else,what will you say?It can be difficult to see yourself from the outside,(2) knowing who you are can help you understand feelings better.
The ability to have a good understanding of our own character is called self﹣awareness.If you're self﹣aware,you are able to see yourself(3) (clear).You may also know that you love playing(4) piano because you do well in it and music makes you happy,or that you like watching TV on your own because it helps you relax.
Knowing what you like or dislike,what you are good at or what you find difficult allows you (5) (make) better decisions about friendship,schoolwork and so on.You learn to trust (6) (you) own feelings more and that can build up confidence.Last year,the World Health Organization (7) (say) that self﹣awareness is one of the ten important life(8) (skill) that can help young people live happier,healthier lives.Being self﹣aware doesn't mean only thinking of yourself.You will better understand other people (9) understanding your own feelings.
How do you learn to be self﹣aware?It's a good way to ask questions,but ask yourself questions that start with "(10) " instead of "why".For example,if you don't understand why you keep arguing with a friend,ask yourself what you disagree on instead of why you're arguing.Learning to be more self﹣aware is a skill and you learn it as you grow.So be brave and try out new things!

【分析】文章讲述了老师让同学们把土豆当作讨厌的人背在书包里,不久之后,土豆发出难闻的气味,在游戏结束后,同学们才松了一口气,不再背这些腐烂的土豆而感到放松,从这个游戏中,老师告诉同学们仇恨的难闻气味会污染你的心,无论你走到哪里,你都会带着它。
【解答】(1)细节推理题。根据第一段Each potato was given the name of a person that the child hated,so the number of potatoes that a child put in his or her plastic bag depended on the number of people he or she hated.(每个土豆都有一个孩子讨厌的人的名字,所以孩子放在塑料袋里的土豆数量取决于他或她讨厌的人数量。)可知,老师要求学生做给袋子里的每个土豆一个名字。故选B。
(2)细节理解题。根据第二段When the day came,every child brought some potatoes with the names of the people he or she hated.(当这一天到来时,每个孩子都带了一些土豆,上面写着他或她讨厌的人的名字。)可知,有些学生的书包里有五个土豆是因为他们有五个讨厌的人。故选C。
(3)词义猜测题。根据第三段Besides,those having as many as five potatoes also had to carry heavier bags.After weeks,the children were relieved because the game had finally ended.(此外,那些有五个土豆的人还得背更重的袋子。几个星期后,孩子们松了一口气,因为比赛终于结束了。)可知,第3段中带下划线的单词"relieve"可能的意思是"感到快乐,因为你不再担心什么"。故选A。
(4)文章主旨题。根据文章讲述老师让同学们把土豆当作讨厌的人背在书包里,不久之后,土豆发出难闻的气味,在游戏结束后,同学们才松了一口气,不再背这些腐烂的土豆而感到放松和最后一段This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred for somebody inside your heart.The unpleasant smell of hatred will pollute your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go.(这正是你内心深处对某人怀恨在心的情况。仇恨的难闻气味会污染你的心,无论你走到哪里,你都会带着它。)可知,我们能从这篇文章中学到"讨厌会给人带来麻烦而不是快乐"。故选D。

The most environment﹣friendly way is to avoid single﹣use things altogether.Products like glass water bottles and steel straws can be used over and over again.They are much better than either paper products or plastic products.By increasing the use of these items,you can greatly reduce your throwaway waste and truly make our earth a greener place!
(1)What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 1 refer to? C
A.using plastic straws
B.using plastic bags.
C.using paper products.
D.using single﹣use things.
(2)What does the writer think of the recycled paper? B
A.It saves energy and water.
B.It seems not to be a good idea.
C.It is better than single﹣use paper.
D.It's easy to make by recycling process.
(3)What is the writer's main purpose of writing this passage? B
A.To introduce the disadvantages of paper products.
B.To call on using products in an environment﹣friendly way.
C.To compare paper products with plastic products.
D.To explain why paper products are bad for the environment
(4)Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph) A
A.
B.
C.

(4)文章结构题。第一段说明纸制品对环境有害;二、三、四段从森林砍伐、能源和水的浪费和纸制品比塑料制品更重三个方面说明纸制品的缺点;第五段说明了纸制品对环境和企业来消极影响;第六段提出最环保的建议。A项符合文章的结构,故选:A。

5.(10分)Some people believe that humans could live on the planet Mars by the year 2100.Here is what life there could be like.
(1) C
With the development of technology,by the year 2100,the journey might only take about 20 minutes in spacecraft that travel at the speed of light!However,the spacecraft would travel so fast that the journey to Mars might be quite uncomfortable.Many people would feel ill.
(2) A
Humans cannot survive without water,oxygen or food.So far nobody knows whether there would be enough water or oxygen on Mars.Moreover,scientists are not sure whether plants could grow on Mars.Food would probably be in the form of pills and would not be so tasty.

Gravity could be another problem.The gravity on Mars is only about three﹣eighths of that on the Earth.People would have to wear boots that are specially designed to prevent themselves from
floating off into space.
(4) D
Compared with life on the Earth,life on Mars would be better in some ways.People would have more space.They might live in houses with huge comfortable rooms.Also,robots would do most of their work so that they could have more time to relax.

B.Another problem on Mars
C.The way to Mars

第二节
7.(10分)We know really well about ourselves.If you(1) are asked (ask) to describe yourself to someone else,what will you say?It can be difficult to see yourself from the outside,(2) but knowing who you are can help you understand feelings better.
The ability to have a good understanding of our own character is called self﹣awareness.If you're self﹣aware,you are able to see yourself(3) clearly (clear).You may also know that you love playing(4) the piano because you do well in it and music makes you happy,or that you like watching TV on your own because it helps you relax.
Knowing what you like or dislike,what you are good at or what you find difficult allows you (5) to make (make) better decisions about friendship,schoolwork and so on.You learn to trust (6) your (you) own feelings more and that can build up confidence.Last year,the World Health Organization (7) said (say) that self﹣awareness is one of the ten important life(8) skills (skill) that can help young people live happier,healthier lives.Being self﹣aware doesn't mean only thinking of yourself.You will better understand other people (9) by understanding your own feelings.
How do you learn to be self﹣aware?It's a good way to ask questions,but ask yourself questions that start with "(10) what " instead of "why".For example,if you don't understand why you keep arguing with a friend,ask yourself what you disagree on instead of why you're arguing.Learning to be more self﹣aware is a skill and you learn it as you grow.So be brave and try out new things!
【分析】本文介绍了自我意识是什么,它的重要性以及如何学会自我意识。
【解答】(1)考查动词时态及语态。句意:如果你被要求向别人描述自己,你会说什么?由语境可知,句子是主将从现句,从句是一般现在时的被动语态,其结构是be done形式,主语you,故填:are asked。
(2)考查连词。句意:从外面看自己可能很难,但知道自己是谁可以帮助你更好地理解自己的感受。由上下语境可知,此处表示转折关系,故填:but。
(3)考副词查。句意:如果你有自我意识,你就能清楚地看到自己。此处修饰动词see应用形容词clear的副词形式修饰,故填:clearly。
(4)考查冠词。句意:你也可能知道你喜欢弹钢琴,因为你弹得很好,音乐让你快乐,或者你喜欢自己看电视,因为它有助于你放松。play the piano弹钢琴;由空后表示乐器的单词piano(钢琴)可知,此处应填定冠词the,故填:the。
(5)考查动词不定式。句意:知道你喜欢什么或不喜欢什么,你擅长什么或你觉得困难什么,可以让你在友谊、学业等方面做出更好的决定。allow sb.to do sth.允许某人做某事;由语境可知,此处应填动词不定式to make,故填:to make。
(6)考查代词。句意:你学会更多地相信自己的感受,这可以建立信心。由空后名词feelings可知,此处应填代词you的形容词性物主代词your,故填:your。

(8)考查名词复数。句意:去年,世界卫生组织表示,自我意识是帮助年轻人过上更幸福、更健康生活的十项重要生活技能之一。由空前的基数词ten可知,此处应填名词skill复数形式skills,故填:skills。
(9)考查介词。句意:通过理解自己的感受,你会更好地理解他人。by doing sth.通过做某事;由空后动名词短语understanding your own feelings(理解自己的感受)可知,此处应填介词by,故填:by。
(10)考查疑问代词。句意:它是一个很好的提问方式,但要问自己以"什么"而不是"为什么"开头的问题。由下文For example,if you don't understand why you keep arguing with a friend,ask yourself what you disagree on instead of why you're arguing.(例如,如果你不明白为什么要和朋友争吵,问问自己你不同意什么,而不是为什么要争吵。)可知,此处应填疑问代词what,故填:what。
