How do you treat your books? Do you use a bookmark to avoid folding(折叠)a page and keep your books tidily on a shelf? Or perhaps you pay less attention to their condition — you’re happy to take notes down the margins(页边空白) of a page. What’s your idea — do you think they should always be kept in good condition?
Yes. Books deserve our respect.
It is important to care for your books. This is especially true if the book costs a lot of money or is given to you as a present. It also won’t last long if they are damaged(破坏). If a book is full of ripped(撕破的) pages, it is less possible that a friend will want to pick it up and read. If you donate it to a charity shop, it is less possible that someone will buy it. Over time, treating books badly could become a bad habit.
NO. It doesn’t matter if you just read.
One of the great things about an actual book is that readers can make it their own with notes. If it’s a gift, you can write a nice message. It can make a book feel personal and special to you. It doesn’t matter if this means that a book isn't in perfect condition — you can always buy a new copy if the old one gets too damaged. In the end, writers just want people to read their stories: they don’t mind how or where people do it.
24. What is the passage about?
A . The discussion about how to treat our books with bookmarks.
B. The discussion about whether we should keep books well.
C. The reasons for reading more books in daily life.
D. The reasons for treating books in a friendly way.
25. What does the underlined(划线的) sentence mean?
A. Books are worth our respect. B. Books help us win respect.
C. Books teach us to show respect. D. Books catch people's attention.
26. According to the passage, someone may not want to pick the book to read if ________.
A. it costs a lot of money B. it is a present
C. it is full of ripped pages D. it is from a charity shop
27. Some people think keeping books in good condition is unimportant probably because ________.
A. they like untidy books better than those in good condition
B. they would rather buy new copies than read old ones
C. they think books with messages may make people less interested
D. they care more about writers’ stories than how books are kept
C

On a usual day, Miranda jumped out of bed even before the alarm clock could ring. She did not mind getting up early. She loved morning because she could complete her two-mile run before most of her family members got up. She ran every morning in order that she would realize her dream of being the best runner in the school. However, this morning was different. She would go and find out whether the pain in her leg was something that could be easily treated or would stop her from doing something she loved most: running with the school track team.
As the alarm clock rang out again, Miranda knew she had to get up. She cut off the annoying （讨厌的）noise and rose from her bed. She could hear the sound from the kitchen where her mother was making her favourite breakfast of pancakes and bacon. Her mother always made her favourites whenever Miranda was facing a problem or in a bad situation, but she’d never faced anything like this before.
Sighing（叹气）deeply in the quiet room, she tried to stand up. She could feel the pain in her right leg. It was serious but bearable. Surely, Miranda thought, it would not be as bad as she had imagined.
She shook her head to clear her thought and got ready to join her mother. As she walked into the kitchen, her mother gave her a big smile. Miranda felt less worried right away. If nothing else, she at least knew one thing was certain. She was not alone in this and that would make all the differences, no matter what the day would bring.
32. Why did Miranda keep on running for two miles every morning?
A. To keep healthy. B. To realize her dream.
C. To get up earlier than her family members. D. To get away from the annoying noise.
33. What does the underlined word “bearable” mean?
A. 可忍受的 B. 可获得的 C. 可创造的 D. 可解答的
34. What did the smile on her mother’s face mean to Miranda?
A. Suggestion. B. Encouragement. C. Promise. D. Agreement.
35. What would Miranda probably do after breakfast?
A. She would continue training in the school track team. B. She would have a rest in bed till she felt better.
C. She would have her leg checked in the hospital. D. She would help her mother do some cleaning in the kitchen.

What is the most popular body building in 2018? Plogging, which is a mash-up（混合）of jogging and the Swedish （瑞典语）“plocka upp” , meaning pick up, has come into our eyes.
The idea of plogging was created by Erik Ahlstrom, a Swedish. He was surprised by the amount of rubbish there in nature. The same rubbish could remain in the road for several weeks without anyone picking it up. So he made up his mind to do something to change it. He started picking it up. To his surprise, stopping to clean up rubbish became a habit then part of his exercise plan as he put the activity into his runs. By 2016, other people were joining in, and plogging runs became official events in Sweden. They run with trash bags and gloves. After plogging, they will have a competition to see who picks up the most rubbish. Nowadays, plogging has attracted more people to take part in.
According to fitness app Lifesum, which allows users to record calories （卡路里）burned while plogging, plogging bums more calories as it requires some bending （弯腰）and some strength to hold all the rubbish — a half hour of plogging will bum 288 calories on average, compared （与……相比）to just 235 calories from jogging.
65. Who came up with the idea of plogging?

1. The disease was spreading fast then. We had no choice but ________ the meeting.
A. cancel B. to cancel C. cancelling D. cancelled
【答案】B
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】句意：当时，疾病传播的很快。我们别无选择只能取消会议。
考查非谓语动词。在含介词but的句型中，but前有do，则but后的不定式不能带to；相反，but前若找不到do，则but后的不定式必定带to。故选B。
2. ________ some extra support is given, the company will close down.
A. If B. Unless C. Since D. Whenever
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：除非给予额外支持，否则这家公司将倒闭。

A. breaks B. is breaking C. broken D. broke
【答案】D

考查动词时态。分析发现find out后为who引导的宾语从句，从句中包含并列的谓语动词，时态需要一致，与“stole”并列应为“broke”，小偷过去的动作应为一般过去时，故选D。
4. —I have ______ completed all the work.

【解析】
【分析】
【详解】句意：--我已成功地完成了所有的工作。--祝贺你！
succeed动词，成功；success名词，成功；successful 形容词，成功的；successfully副词，成功地。所填词在句中修饰动词作状语，该是副词，所以选D。

A. taken up B. come up C. set up D. given up

【解析】
【分析】
【详解】句意：她对于邻居的抱怨占据了这封信的一半。
考查动词短语辨析。take up占据，开始从事；come up发生，上来；set up建立；give up放弃。本句为被动语态，转换成主动语态为Her complaints about her neighbours took up half the letter.抱怨占据了信的一半。故选A。
6. —What’s the weather like in autumn in Suzhou?
—It’s ________ too hot ________ too cold. It’s a good time for a picnic.
A. both; and B. either; or C. neither; nor D. not only; but also

How do you treat your books? Do you use a bookmark to avoid folding(折叠)a page and keep your books tidily on a shelf? Or perhaps you pay less attention to their condition — you’re happy to take notes down the margins(页边空白) of a page. What’s your idea — do you think they should always be kept in good condition?
Yes. Books deserve our respect.
It is important to care for your books. This is especially true if the book costs a lot of money or is given to you as a present. It also won’t last long if they are damaged(破坏). If a book is full of ripped(撕破的) pages, it is less possible that a friend will want to pick it up and read. If you donate it to a charity shop, it is less possible that someone will buy it. Over time, treating books badly could become a bad habit.
NO. It doesn’t matter if you just read.
One of the great things about an actual book is that readers can make it their own with notes. If it’s a gift, you can write a nice message. It can make a book feel personal and special to you. It doesn’t matter if this means that a book isn't in perfect condition — you can always buy a new copy if the old one gets too damaged. In the end, writers just want people to read their stories: they don’t mind how or where people do it.

24. What is the passage about?
A. The discussion about how to treat our books with bookmarks. B. The discussion about whether we should keep books well.
C. The reasons for reading more books in daily life. D. The reasons for treating books in a friendly way.
25. What does the underlined(划线的) sentence mean?
A. Books are worth our respect. B. Books help us win respect.
C. Books teach us to show respect. D. Books catch people's attention.
26. According to the passage, someone may not want to pick the book to read if ________.
A. it costs a lot of money B. it is a present
C. it is full of ripped pages D. it is from a charity shop
27. Some people think keeping books in good condition is unimportant probably because ________.
A. they like untidy books better than those in good condition B. they would rather buy new copies than read old ones
C. they think books with messages may make people less interested D. they care more about writers’ stories than how books are kept

On a usual day, Miranda jumped out of bed even before the alarm clock could ring. She did not mind getting up early. She loved morning because she could complete her two-mile run before most of her family members got up. She ran every morning in order that she would realize her dream of being the best runner in the school. However, this morning was different. She would go and find out whether the pain in her leg was something that could be easily treated or would stop her from doing something she loved most: running with the school track team.
As the alarm clock rang out again, Miranda knew she had to get up. She cut off the annoying （讨厌的）noise and rose from her bed. She could hear the sound from the kitchen where her mother was making her favourite breakfast of pancakes and bacon. Her mother always made her favourites whenever Miranda was facing a problem or in a bad situation, but she’d never faced anything like this before.
Sighing （叹气）deeply in the quiet room, she tried to stand up. She could feel the pain in her right leg. It was serious but bearable. Surely, Miranda thought, it would not be as bad as she had imagined.
She shook her head to clear her thought and got ready to join her mother. As she walked into the kitchen, her mother gave her a big smile. Miranda felt less worried right away.

What is the most popular body building in 2018? Plogging, which is a mash-up（混合）of jogging and the Swedish （瑞典语）“plocka upp” , meaning pick up, has come into our eyes.
The idea of plogging was created by Erik Ahlstrom, a Swedish. He was surprised by the amount of rubbish there in nature. The same rubbish could remain in the road for several weeks without anyone picking it up. So he made up his mind to do something to change it. He started picking it up. To his surprise, stopping to clean up rubbish became a habit then part of his exercise plan as he put the activity into his runs. By 2016, other people were joining in, and plogging runs became official events in Sweden. They run with trash bags and gloves. After plogging, they will have a competition to see who picks up the most rubbish. Nowadays, plogging has attracted more people to take part in.
According to fitness app Lifesum, which allows users to record calories （卡路里）burned while plogging, plogging bums more calories as it requires some bending （弯腰）and some strength to hold all the rubbish — a half hour of plogging will bum 288 calories on average, compared （与……相比）to just 235 calories from jogging.
