March 14 is Pi(π)Day, the yearly celebration of a never-ending number —π(3. 14159. ). The tradition began on March 14, 1988, when a scientist, called Larry Shaw, connected March 14(3. 14) with the number of(3. 14159. ) and asked his teammates to mark the day by eating pies. Later, more and more people began to celebrate Pi Day each year, and in 2009 the US lawmakers announced Pi Day an official holiday. Pi Day has been noticed in different ways by different groups of people in America.
Restaurants celebrate Pi Day with special selling of pies. Blaze Pizza has continued its tradition by offering a kind of pizza for just $3. 14.

Some women scientists also celebrate Pi Day. Since 2015, to encourage more girls to. work on science, technology, engineering and mathematics, some women scientists have been wearing purple on Pi Day.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory will join in the fun with their yearly “Pi in the Sky” challenge. The fun activities are designed to encourage students from 5th to 12th grade to help NASA scientists solve real-world problems using π . Each year, many students take the “Pi in the Sky” challenge to help NASA scientists with their scientific research, which greatly benefits students in their future study.
Though Pi Day celebrations are rather new, π has been around for thousands of years. 4, 000 years ago, Babylonians calculated(计算)the area of a circle, giving π a value of 3. The ancient Egyptians came closer to the real number with 3. 165 in 1650 BC. Archimedes of Syracuse(287-212 BC) was the first to calculate it mathematically. The Greek scientist gave his number between 3+(1/7) and 3+(10/71), which is much closer to“3. 14159. ”.

If you ever run into Brad Pit, chances are he won't recognize(识别)you the second time around. That's because the famous actor has face blindness(脸盲症).
Face blindness, is the inability to recognize or remember faces, including one's own. It can cause problems in relationships and in the workplace. Some people with face blindness also have difficulty recognizing animals and telling the differences between objects, such as cars. Others have a much harder time and experience nervousness, depression and fear of social situations.
There are two main kinds of face blindness. Acquired face blindness is caused by brain damage(损伤). Harm to the right side of the brain is more likely to influence your ability to recognize faces you used to know. It is lesser-known and may take a turn for the better. The other main kind of face blindness is born with or developmental, which is much more common. Although it was considered hard-to-find before, scientists now estimate(估计)as much as 2. 5 percent of Americans may be developing it. The cause of developmental face blindness is still unknown, but it does appear to run in families. A person with the second kind of face blindness never fully develops the ability to recognize faces.
Adults with face blindness may not realize that other people can recognize and remember faces. They may think they are the “normal”ones. However, a person who develops face blindness following a damage may notice the loss of the ability right away. Children with the illness may have trouble making friends, since they can't easily recognize others. They usually befriend people with easily recognizable features(特征). They may also find it difficult to tell family members apart according to sight or tell the differences between characters in movies.
At present, there is no treatment for face blindness. However, there are training programs to help these people, such as focusing on the voice, hairstyle and clothing. It may help to make a list of features in mind, such as tall, brown hair, blue eyes, and remember them rather than trying to recall the face. Sometimes it's the easiest to simply let people know that you have trouble with faces.
56. From Paragraphs 1& 2, what problem might people with face blindness have?
A. Getting lost very often. B. Keeping a pet.
C. Having bad relationships. D. Remembering car numbers.
57. According to Paragraph 3, which is true about the two main kinds of face blindness?
A. The number of acquired face blindness is bigger.
B. The cause of developmental face blindness is known.
C. If Paul is born with face blindness, his family may have it.
D. Neither of the two kinds has chances to get better.
58. Who will most probably become Laura's friend if she develops face blindness?
A. Sarah who is the shortest at school. B. Billy who has a cute sister.
C Angela who has a beautiful face. D. Jeff who is strong in music.
59. According to the passage. what can we learn about the people with face blindness?
A. They are seen as “normal” as others. B. Certain trainings could help them.
C. They can't use the right side of the brain. D. 25 out of 100 Americans develop it.
60. Which of the following way is not used by the writer to introduce face blindness?
A. Giving facts. B. Telling stories. C. Explaining new words. D. Comparing differences.

Bananas are the perfect snack. Not only are they sweet and delicious but they are easy to carry around, so you can take them anywhere. Best of all bananas provide different things that the human body needs!
Bananas grow best in warm places that get lots of rain. They grow on plants that look like trees. The banana plant, however, is considered a herb (灌木) rather than a tree because it doesn’t have a strong, woody stem (干，茎). The plants can grow as high as 30 feet. When they reach their full height, flowers grow out from the stem. These flowers produce bananas.
Two or three times each year, the plants produce fruit. The bananas grow together, which seem like “hands”. A hand is made up of 10 to 20 bananas. Growers sometimes call bananas “fingers”. Each bunch (丛) of bananas has about 15 hands, and so a whole bunch may have as many as 200 bananas and can weigh more than 100 pounds.
After about three months, the bananas are ready to be picked. At this point, they still aren’t the sunny yellow color of bananas. Farmers pick them when they’re green. That’s how they’re shipped to stores. They turn yellow along the way and are ready to be sold.
If you love bananas, you’ve got a lot of company. Americans have been enjoying bananas since the first shipment arrived in the United States in 1876. Today, Americans eat more bananas than any other fruit. More bananas are sold than apples and grapes together. Each year, every American eats 16.5 pounds of apples, 7.6 pounds of grapes, 11.6 pounds of oranges. Do you know how many bananas? It’s over 26 pounds of bananas each year!
46．According to the Paragraph 2, bananas grow best in ________.
A．a warm place with much rain B．a dry and hot place
C．a cool place with little rain D．a cool and windy place
47．Banana plants produce fruits ________.
A．once or twice a year B．two or three times a year
C．only once a year D．three or four times a year
48．Why are bananas picked when they’re green?
A．Because they are always green. B．Because people like green bananas.
C．Because it’s convenient to ship. D．Because yellow bananas aren’t delicious.
49．Which of the following is Not True according to the passage?
A．The banana plant isn’t a kind of tree. B．One bunch of bananas may have 100 hands.
C．Many people like bananas because they’re delicious. D．Banana plants can’t grow as high as 300 feet.
50．What can we know from the last paragraph?
A．Oranges are the most popular in the US. B．People around the world like bananas best.
C．Apples are more expensive today. D．Americans like bananas best of all fruits.

Beijing Opera is the most typical of all Chinese traditional dramatic art forms and the largest Chinese opera form. Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from absorbing (吸收) many other dramatic forms, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”, which was popular in South China during the 18th century. It is a scenic (戏剧的) art including music, performance, literature, aria and face painting.
Theatrical art forms in many other countries do not present singing, dancing and spoken parts in one single drama. An opera singer, for example, neither dances nor speaks on stage; there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play; in a dance drama, the dancer has no speaking role and does not sing either. Traditional Chinese drama, including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment which includes spoken parts, singing, dancing and acrobatics.
Besides its presence in China, Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers of all time, was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made highly successful tours to foreign countries.
“You will be puzzled (困惑的) all the way through and a little bored from time to time; but you will be charmed and interested. You will be strongly attracted to Beijing Opera even if you know nothing of the dramatic background.” This is how one American traveller described his first experience in watching Beijing Opera.
Beijing Opera is China’s national opera and it is full of Chinese cultural traditions. Welcome to China and enjoy Beijing Opera!
51．How long is the history of Beijing Opera?
A．One hundred years. B．Two hundred years. C．Three hundred years. D．Four hundred years.
52．According to Paragraph 3, what does the writer think of Mei Lanfang?
A．He played an important role in spreading Beijing Opera.
B．He isn’t as famous as the other Beijing Opera performer.
C．He never introduced Beijing Opera to the world.
D．He is a performer who doesn’t like to travel around the world.
53．Which of the following is True about Beijing Opera?
A．There are no dancing parts in modern Beijing Opera.
B．Beijing Opera presents singing dancing and spoken parts.
C．Beijing Opera hasn’t absorbed the other art forms.
D．Nowadays, young people aren’t interested in Beijing Opera.
54．What does “charm” underlined in Paragraph 4 most probably mean in Chinese?
A．展现 B．厌倦 C．吸引 D．哄骗
55．What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the article?

Hi, I am Lisa. My friend May had a new haircut. It looked so cool. When I got home, I asked my mom for a haircut like May’s.
Sadly, she was busy. “First, you have to make your hair wet. Then, you have to brush it out really well. Finally, you have to use special scissors to cut it,” said mom. “If you make a mistake, you can’t get the hair back on. Maybe I can cut it for you on the weekend.”
I went back to my room and looked at my hair in the mirror. I didn’t want to go to school looking like this tomorrow. So I got my school scissors out of my desk.

Mom walked in. She shook her head without saying anything.
“Are you mad because it’s ugly?” I asked.

Elephants are the largest land animals alive today. African elephants live in family groups called herds. All of the elephants in the herd take care of each other. The leader of the herd is an old mother elephant. She is the matriarch. A herd may have as few as eight or as many as 100 elephants. The other elephants follow the matriarch because she knows how to guard the family if danger appears. Adult male elephants go off to live on their own and start families.
Elephants learn by watching and copying other elephants, and from life. Baby elephants stay with their mothers until they are fully grown at about ten years old. Elephants live to be 50 or 60 years old. Elephants are intelligent animals with long memories. Even in a dry spell, a matriarch can remember where water was found in the past. The herd will follow her there. She can also remember the safest place for baby elephants to cross a fast-moving river.
Elephants talk to each other with low rumbling sounds. Some rumbling sounds are so deep that people are unable to hear them. Elephants hear sounds with their ears, the soles of their feet, and even their trunks(象鼻). They also greet each other by touching with their trunks and feet. If danger appears, mothers flap their ears to call their babies to them.
Other animals do not usually attack(袭击) elephants. However, a lion might try to attack a sick elephant or a baby. If this happens, everyone is on guard. The adult elephants circle around the baby elephants. The adults make loud trumpeting sounds and hit the ground with their trunks. The matriarch puts herself between the lion and the herd. She flaps her ears out to make herself look even larger. Then she lowers her head and charges the enemy in a big cloud of dust.
46．According to Paragraphs 1 & 2, the matriarch ________.
A．protects the herd B．just follows the herd
C．drinks water alone D．is the oldest elephant
47．Which of the following probably best explains “spell” underlined in Paragraph 2?
A．Magician. B．Prediction. C．Period. D．Ability.
48．According to Paragraph 3, how do elephants communicate with each other?
A．People can hear all the sounds of elephants.
B．Elephants can hear each other only with ears.
C．Elephants greet each other by flapping ears.
D．Elephants’ trunks can be used to communicate.
49．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．No elephants take care of baby elephants at the time of danger.
B．Baby elephants stay with their mothers as long as they want.
C．A matriarch can find the water because of the long memory.
D．When a lion attacks, adult elephants circle around the matriarch.
50．What’s the best title of the text?
A．A Baby And A Matriarch. B．An Elephant Herd.
C．A Lion And An Elephant. D．An Elephant Matriarch.

How are you feeling today? If your head is uncomfortable because of a bad night’s sleep, or you’ve just got too much to do, the chances are you’re not in the best of feelings. If everything seems like an effort and you have a negative(消极的) opinion, the last thing you want to be told is to “be positive!” But having this mindset could get more advantages than you think.
Of course, developing a positive(积极的) opinion is easier said than done. When you’re feeling down, it is hard to be optimistic(乐观的). But a study in the US has found that people who are optimists are more likely to live longer than those who have a more negative opinion to life. It showed the possibility of positive people living to the age of 85 or more. So, maybe the thought of a longer life might encourage you to be more positive to life.
The study found that optimists may find it easier to control feelings and get less stressed. And as stress influences the immune system(免疫系统), it’s possible that optimists deal better with illness. Professor Lee, who worked on the study, said, “Our findings suggest that raising levels of optimism may lead to longer life and healthier ageing.” And she advises that pessimists (悲观主义者) could get better from doing things like imagining a future where everything turns out well.
But a glass half empty type of person can hardly see the world through hopeful glasses. If you’re the one among them, what could you do? Accepting that we all have problems and we’re not all the same can help. It’s best to celebrate the positives and not think about the negative parts of our lives.
People have been sharing their personal advice on keeping a positive way to life. Vicki Siska says, “Music feeds my soul, and I have good friends who care for me.” The saying goes that “a healthy body leads a healthy mind” which is perhaps why other people have advised doing deep thinking as well as staying healthy to help keep a positive opinion about life.
51．From Paragraphs 1 & 2, we can learn that ________.
A．negative opinions lead to bad endings B．being positive isn’t as easy as we thought
C．“be positive” is enjoyed by pessimists D．optimistic people like to have a long life
52．According to Paragraph 3, the study found that ________.
A．optimists usually get more stressed B．pessimists are impossible to live long
C．optimists are easy to develop illness D．positive imagining is good for pessimists
53．The underlined part “glass half empty” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.
A．negative B．strong C．helpful D．outgoing
54．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A．The study found that pessimists could live to be 85 or a higher age.
B．Optimists are seldom ill because they have a good immune system.
C．Pessimists are those unlucky people who always have problems.
D．Positive opinions about life might lead to good physical health.
55．The passage mainly tells us ________.
A．to have a long life B．to treat life positively
C．the importance of health D．what optimists and pessimists are
