18．（6分）It was October 1837.Samuel Morse and I，Alfred Vail，sat in our workshop.We were studying how to turn dots （●） and dashes （一） into a message.
Morse's first idea was to tap out numbers ﹣ one tap for "1"，a long tap and two short ones for"12"，and so on.Then he made a big list of words and gave their numbers ﹣"342"meant"train" and so on.But I wasn't so sure this was the best way.His word book was huge.It would take hours to look up codes （代码）.Too slow!
"Why couldn't the dots and dashes stand for letters instead？" I shared my better idea.
"How could that work？" Morse asked.
"Well，for example，two dots could be 'D' instead of '2'.There are only 26 letters ﹣ why not give each one a dot﹣and﹣dash code？That way，words could be tapped out directly，letter by letter.Imagine the time saved!"
Morse snorted （哼了一声），really unhappy after all of his work on the word list.Just to try it，I wrote down the letters and gave each letter a tap code.Then I tapped out a message，and Morse deciphered （破译） it.Quickly!
He read out my message： "To tell the truth，I think this saves much time." He nodded. "Yes，I see your point.Not bad."
But I'd noticed something else about our code. "That message had a lot of T's，" I said. "The code for a T is dash﹣dash dot ...I'll bet I could have done that even faster if T didn't take so long to tap."
Ten minutes later I was in the local newspaper office.With the help of a printer，I was soon back with a list of letters in order of how often they are used in English.
"Let it be so!It makes good sense to use the shortest codes for the most common letters.I see E is the favourite，so a single dot for E and a dash for T.To start，a dot﹣dash for A." Morse said，patting me heartily on the back. "You impress me!Vail，you're a genius （天才）."
I smiled.I wouldn't say so out loud，but I had to agree with him.
（1）In Morse Code，the word "TEA" should be .
A.— ● ● —
B. ● ● — —
C. ● —— ●
D. ●— ● —
（2）From the story，we can learn that Vail was .
A.practical and loyal
B.organized but proud
C.confident and creative
D.careful but doubtful
（3）Which can be the best title for the story？
A.The Father of Morse Code
B.The Small Secret of Morse Code
C.Always Follow Your Dreams
D.Two Heads Are Better than One
19．（8分）The British are famous for lots of things：Shakespeare，tea，Big Ben，the changeable weather and poor dancing skills.But when it comes to food，one of their most famous dishes is，without doubt，fish and chips.
The best place to go for your fish and chips is a fish and chips shop.The people who work there are often the owners of the shops，usually a husband and a wife，with part﹣time help from others.One of the most famous fish and chips shops is Harry Ramsden 's，which is based in the north of England.
Ordering fish and chips can be difficult for a tourist in Britain.For a start，you'll probably be in an area of Britain that has few tourists，with locals who are not used to speaking to foreigners.Just smile politely and say， "A portion of fish and chips to take away，please." When you see them with a vinegar（醋） bottle，quickly shout "Just a bit，please".So they don't drown（浸泡） your chips in vinegar.If you see them wrapping（包裹） your fish and chips in newspaper，don't be surprised.It's nothing special.
So，why arc fish and chips so popular in Britain？People have been trying to answer this question for a long time.After all，fish and chips are eaten by everyone in Britain，from ladies in fur coats to workers in blue overalls.Some say it's the smell of delicious fried fish and potatoes.Others say it's the taste ﹣ the mix of fried fish，fried potatoes，vinegar and salt.Some say it's the comforting feeling that you get from carrying that bag of warm food home on a cold winter day.And others say it 's simply because a meal of fish and chips offers the most useful way of filling you up for such little money.
The strange thing about fish and chips is that the British in general don't like seafood.For them，it's something alien.They don't like its shape （too many heads and eyes），its smell （too fishy），all the bones （too difficult to eat） and the funny﹣looking arms and legs （too strange）.This probably explains why fried fish is so popular.Since the fish has been covered in batter （面糊） and fried，it looks nothing like anything that ever lived in the sea.So，are you having some fish and chips？
（1）In Britain，owners of fish and chips shops usually .
A.put no salt on the chips
B.wrap the food in newspaper
C.chat with foreign travelers
D.add a little vinegar to the chips
（2）What can we learn from the passage？
A.Fish and chips in Britain are a strange thing in general.
B.A meal of fish and chips is a little bit expensive in Britain.
C.Fish and chips are more than a light snack to British people.
D.Harry Ramsden's is popular in Britain except in the north of England.
（3）The writing style of this passage is a bit .
A.serious
B.old﹣fashioned
C.romantic
D.relaxed
（4）What can most possibly be the writer's purpose？
A.To recommend famous fish and chips shops in Britain.
B.To look back on the history of fish and chips in Britain.
C.To introduce fish and chips to foreign tourists in Britain.
D.To discuss what makes fish and chips popular in Britain.

18．（6分）It was October 1837.Samuel Morse and I，Alfred Vail，sat in our workshop.We were studying how to turn dots （●） and dashes （一） into a message.
Morse's first idea was to tap out numbers ﹣ one tap for "1"，a long tap and two short ones for"12"，and so on.Then he made a big list of words and gave their numbers ﹣"342"meant"train" and so on.But I wasn't so sure this was the best way.His word book was huge.It would take hours to look up codes （代码）.Too slow!
"Why couldn't the dots and dashes stand for letters instead？" I shared my better idea.
"How could that work？" Morse asked.
"Well，for example，two dots could be 'D' instead of '2'.There are only 26 letters ﹣ why not give each one a dot﹣and﹣dash code？That way，words could be tapped out directly，letter by letter.Imagine the time saved!"
Morse snorted （哼了一声），really unhappy after all of his work on the word list.Just to try it，I wrote down the letters and gave each letter a tap code.Then I tapped out a message，and Morse deciphered （破译） it.Quickly!
He read out my message： "To tell the truth，I think this saves much time." He nodded. "Yes，I see your point.Not bad."
But I'd noticed something else about our code. "That message had a lot of T's，" I said. "The code for a T is dash﹣dash dot ...I'll bet I could have done that even faster if T didn't take so long to tap."
Ten minutes later I was in the local newspaper office.With the help of a printer，I was soon back with a list of letters in order of how often they are used in English.
"Let it be so!It makes good sense to use the shortest codes for the most common letters.I see E is the favourite，so a single dot for E and a dash for T.To start，a dot﹣dash for A." Morse said，patting me heartily on the back. "You impress me!Vail，you're a genius （天才）."
I smiled.I wouldn't say so out loud，but I had to agree with him.
（1）In Morse Code，the word "TEA" should be A .
A.— ● ● —
B. ● ● — —
C. ● —— ●
D. ●— ● —
（2）From the story，we can learn that Vail was C .
A.practical and loyal
B.organized but proud
C.confident and creative
D.careful but doubtful
（3）Which can be the best title for the story？ B
A.The Father of Morse Code
B.The Small Secret of Morse Code
C.Always Follow Your Dreams
D.Two Heads Are Better than One
【分析】文章介绍了摩斯密码的发明过程。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据a single dot for E and a dash for T.To start，a dot﹣dash for A（一个简单的点代表E，破折号代表T。首先，以点﹣破折号代表A），可知在摩斯密码中TEA应该是"破折号，点，点，破折号"。故选A。
（2）推理判断题。根据Morse said，patting me heartily on the back. "You impress me!Vail，you're a genius （天才）." I smiled.I wouldn't say so out loud，but I had to agree with him.（摩尔斯重重地拍我的背，说"你给我印象深刻！你是个天才。"我笑了。我不会这么大声地说，但我必须同意他的意见。）可知摩尔斯说维尔是天才，而且维尔帮助改进了摩斯密码，说明维尔是有创造力的，同时，他也赞同自己是个天才，说明他很自信。故选C。
（3）标题归纳题。文章讲述摩斯密码首先是由摩尔斯发明，维尔帮助他改进了密码，所以这个故事主要讲述了摩斯密码的秘密。故选B。

19．（8分）The British are famous for lots of things：Shakespeare，tea，Big Ben，the changeable weather and poor dancing skills.But when it comes to food，one of their most famous dishes is，without doubt，fish and chips.
The best place to go for your fish and chips is a fish and chips shop.The people who work there are often the owners of the shops，usually a husband and a wife，with part﹣time help from others.One of the most famous fish and chips shops is Harry Ramsden 's，which is based in the north of England.
Ordering fish and chips can be difficult for a tourist in Britain.For a start，you'll probably be in an area of Britain that has few tourists，with locals who are not used to speaking to foreigners.Just smile politely and say， "A portion of fish and chips to take away，please." When you see them with a vinegar（醋） bottle，quickly shout "Just a bit，please".So they don't drown（浸泡） your chips in vinegar.If you see them wrapping（包裹） your fish and chips in newspaper，don't be surprised.It's nothing special.
So，why arc fish and chips so popular in Britain？People have been trying to answer this question for a long time.After all，fish and chips are eaten by everyone in Britain，from ladies in fur coats to workers in blue overalls.Some say it's the smell of delicious fried fish and potatoes.Others say it's the taste ﹣ the mix of fried fish，fried potatoes，vinegar and salt.Some say it's the comforting feeling that you get from carrying that bag of warm food home on a cold winter day.And others say it 's simply because a meal of fish and chips offers the most useful way of filling you up for such little money.
The strange thing about fish and chips is that the British in general don't like seafood.For them，it's something alien.They don't like its shape （too many heads and eyes），its smell （too fishy），all the bones （too difficult to eat） and the funny﹣looking arms and legs （too strange）.This probably explains why fried fish is so popular.Since the fish has been covered in batter （面糊） and fried，it looks nothing like anything that ever lived in the sea.So，are you having some fish and chips？
（1）In Britain，owners of fish and chips shops usually B .
A.put no salt on the chips
B.wrap the food in newspaper
C.chat with foreign travelers
D.add a little vinegar to the chips
（2）What can we learn from the passage？ C
A.Fish and chips in Britain are a strange thing in general.
B.A meal of fish and chips is a little bit expensive in Britain.
C.Fish and chips are more than a light snack to British people.
D.Harry Ramsden's is popular in Britain except in the north of England.
（3）The writing style of this passage is a bit D .
A.serious
B.old﹣fashioned
C.romantic
D.relaxed
（4）What can most possibly be the writer's purpose？ C
A.To recommend famous fish and chips shops in Britain.
B.To look back on the history of fish and chips in Britain.
C.To introduce fish and chips to foreign tourists in Britain.
D.To discuss what makes fish and chips popular in Britain.

Body confidence is when we accept and behave kindly towards our body.That includes our size and shape，skin color，appearance and any physical （身体的） disabilities.
If you feel positively （积极地） about your body，you are more likely to take care of it.Research has even shown that you are more likely to take part in activities and perform well in school.However，feeling worried about your body could make you do less well at school and even feel down.If you're spending a lot of time trying to achieve the "perfect" appearance，you will have less time to spend with friends and to make important memories.
To develop a positive body image （形象），try not to talk bad about your own body and other people's bodies.Try not to pay much attention to appearance.Instead，think about what your body does for you.Treat your body well by eating different kinds of foods，exercising to feel good.And getting plenty of sleep.

18．（6分）It was October 1837.Samuel Morse and I，Alfred Vail，sat in our workshop.We were studying how to turn dots （●） and dashes （一） into a message.
Morse's first idea was to tap out numbers ﹣ one tap for "1"，a long tap and two short ones for"12"，and so on.Then he made a big list of words and gave their numbers ﹣"342"meant"train" and so on.But I wasn't so sure this was the best way.His word book was huge.It would take hours to look up codes （代码）.Too slow!
"Why couldn't the dots and dashes stand for letters instead？" I shared my better idea.
"How could that work？" Morse asked.
"Well，for example，two dots could be 'D' instead of '2'.There are only 26 letters ﹣ why not give each one a dot﹣and﹣dash code？That way，words could be tapped out directly，letter by letter.Imagine the time saved!"
Morse snorted （哼了一声），really unhappy after all of his work on the word list.Just to try it，I wrote down the letters and gave each letter a tap code.Then I tapped out a message，and Morse deciphered （破译） it.Quickly!
He read out my message： "To tell the truth，I think this saves much time." He nodded. "Yes，I see your point.Not bad."
But I'd noticed something else about our code. "That message had a lot of T's，" I said. "The code for a T is dash﹣dash dot ...I'll bet I could have done that even faster if T didn't take so long to tap."
Ten minutes later I was in the local newspaper office.With the help of a printer，I was soon back with a list of letters in order of how often they are used in English.
"Let it be so!It makes good sense to use the shortest codes for the most common letters.I see E is the favourite，so a single dot for E and a dash for T.To start，a dot﹣dash for A." Morse said，patting me heartily on the back. "You impress me!Vail，you're a genius （天才）."
I smiled.I wouldn't say so out loud，but I had to agree with him.
（1）In Morse Code，the word "TEA" should be .
A.— ● ● —
B. ● ● — —
C. ● —— ●
D. ●— ● —
（2）From the story，we can learn that Vail was .
A.practical and loyal
B.organized but proud
C.confident and creative
D.careful but doubtful
（3）Which can be the best title for the story？
A.The Father of Morse Code
B.The Small Secret of Morse Code
C.Always Follow Your Dreams
D.Two Heads Are Better than One
19．（8分）The British are famous for lots of things：Shakespeare，tea，Big Ben，the changeable weather and poor dancing skills.But when it comes to food，one of their most famous dishes is，without doubt，fish and chips.
The best place to go for your fish and chips is a fish and chips shop.The people who work there are often the owners of the shops，usually a husband and a wife，with part﹣time help from others.One of the most famous fish and chips shops is Harry Ramsden 's，which is based in the north of England.
Ordering fish and chips can be difficult for a tourist in Britain.For a start，you'll probably be in an area of Britain that has few tourists，with locals who are not used to speaking to foreigners.Just smile politely and say， "A portion of fish and chips to take away，please." When you see them with a vinegar（醋） bottle，quickly shout "Just a bit，please".So they don't drown（浸泡） your chips in vinegar.If you see them wrapping（包裹） your fish and chips in newspaper，don't be surprised.It's nothing special.
So，why arc fish and chips so popular in Britain？People have been trying to answer this question for a long time.After all，fish and chips are eaten by everyone in Britain，from ladies in fur coats to workers in blue overalls.Some say it's the smell of delicious fried fish and potatoes.Others say it's the taste ﹣ the mix of fried fish，fried potatoes，vinegar and salt.Some say it's the comforting feeling that you get from carrying that bag of warm food home on a cold winter day.And others say it 's simply because a meal of fish and chips offers the most useful way of filling you up for such little money.
The strange thing about fish and chips is that the British in general don't like seafood.For them，it's something alien.They don't like its shape （too many heads and eyes），its smell （too fishy），all the bones （too difficult to eat） and the funny﹣looking arms and legs （too strange）.This probably explains why fried fish is so popular.Since the fish has been covered in batter （面糊） and fried，it looks nothing like anything that ever lived in the sea.So，are you having some fish and chips？
（1）In Britain，owners of fish and chips shops usually .
A.put no salt on the chips
B.wrap the food in newspaper
C.chat with foreign travelers
D.add a little vinegar to the chips
（2）What can we learn from the passage？
A.Fish and chips in Britain are a strange thing in general.
B.A meal of fish and chips is a little bit expensive in Britain.
C.Fish and chips are more than a light snack to British people.
D.Harry Ramsden's is popular in Britain except in the north of England.
（3）The writing style of this passage is a bit .
A.serious
B.old﹣fashioned
C.romantic
D.relaxed
（4）What can most possibly be the writer's purpose？
A.To recommend famous fish and chips shops in Britain.
B.To look back on the history of fish and chips in Britain.
C.To introduce fish and chips to foreign tourists in Britain.
D.To discuss what makes fish and chips popular in Britain.

18．（6分）It was October 1837.Samuel Morse and I，Alfred Vail，sat in our workshop.We were studying how to turn dots （●） and dashes （一） into a message.
Morse's first idea was to tap out numbers ﹣ one tap for "1"，a long tap and two short ones for"12"，and so on.Then he made a big list of words and gave their numbers ﹣"342"meant"train" and so on.But I wasn't so sure this was the best way.His word book was huge.It would take hours to look up codes （代码）.Too slow!
"Why couldn't the dots and dashes stand for letters instead？" I shared my better idea.
"How could that work？" Morse asked.
"Well，for example，two dots could be 'D' instead of '2'.There are only 26 letters ﹣ why not give each one a dot﹣and﹣dash code？That way，words could be tapped out directly，letter by letter.Imagine the time saved!"
Morse snorted （哼了一声），really unhappy after all of his work on the word list.Just to try it，I wrote down the letters and gave each letter a tap code.Then I tapped out a message，and Morse deciphered （破译） it.Quickly!
He read out my message： "To tell the truth，I think this saves much time." He nodded. "Yes，I see your point.Not bad."
But I'd noticed something else about our code. "That message had a lot of T's，" I said. "The code for a T is dash﹣dash dot ...I'll bet I could have done that even faster if T didn't take so long to tap."
Ten minutes later I was in the local newspaper office.With the help of a printer，I was soon back with a list of letters in order of how often they are used in English.
"Let it be so!It makes good sense to use the shortest codes for the most common letters.I see E is the favourite，so a single dot for E and a dash for T.To start，a dot﹣dash for A." Morse said，patting me heartily on the back. "You impress me!Vail，you're a genius （天才）."
I smiled.I wouldn't say so out loud，but I had to agree with him.
（1）In Morse Code，the word "TEA" should be A .
A.— ● ● —
B. ● ● — —
C. ● —— ●
D. ●— ● —
（2）From the story，we can learn that Vail was C .
A.practical and loyal
B.organized but proud
C.confident and creative
D.careful but doubtful
（3）Which can be the best title for the story？ B
A.The Father of Morse Code
B.The Small Secret of Morse Code
C.Always Follow Your Dreams
D.Two Heads Are Better than One
【分析】文章介绍了摩斯密码的发明过程。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据a single dot for E and a dash for T.To start，a dot﹣dash for A（一个简单的点代表E，破折号代表T。首先，以点﹣破折号代表A），可知在摩斯密码中TEA应该是"破折号，点，点，破折号"。故选A。
（2）推理判断题。根据Morse said，patting me heartily on the back. "You impress me!Vail，you're a genius （天才）." I smiled.I wouldn't say so out loud，but I had to agree with him.（摩尔斯重重地拍我的背，说"你给我印象深刻！你是个天才。"我笑了。我不会这么大声地说，但我必须同意他的意见。）可知摩尔斯说维尔是天才，而且维尔帮助改进了摩斯密码，说明维尔是有创造力的，同时，他也赞同自己是个天才，说明他很自信。故选C。
（3）标题归纳题。文章讲述摩斯密码首先是由摩尔斯发明，维尔帮助他改进了密码，所以这个故事主要讲述了摩斯密码的秘密。故选B。

19．（8分）The British are famous for lots of things：Shakespeare，tea，Big Ben，the changeable weather and poor dancing skills.But when it comes to food，one of their most famous dishes is，without doubt，fish and chips.
The best place to go for your fish and chips is a fish and chips shop.The people who work there are often the owners of the shops，usually a husband and a wife，with part﹣time help from others.One of the most famous fish and chips shops is Harry Ramsden 's，which is based in the north of England.
Ordering fish and chips can be difficult for a tourist in Britain.For a start，you'll probably be in an area of Britain that has few tourists，with locals who are not used to speaking to foreigners.Just smile politely and say， "A portion of fish and chips to take away，please." When you see them with a vinegar（醋） bottle，quickly shout "Just a bit，please".So they don't drown（浸泡） your chips in vinegar.If you see them wrapping（包裹） your fish and chips in newspaper，don't be surprised.It's nothing special.
So，why arc fish and chips so popular in Britain？People have been trying to answer this question for a long time.After all，fish and chips are eaten by everyone in Britain，from ladies in fur coats to workers in blue overalls.Some say it's the smell of delicious fried fish and potatoes.Others say it's the taste ﹣ the mix of fried fish，fried potatoes，vinegar and salt.Some say it's the comforting feeling that you get from carrying that bag of warm food home on a cold winter day.And others say it 's simply because a meal of fish and chips offers the most useful way of filling you up for such little money.
The strange thing about fish and chips is that the British in general don't like seafood.For them，it's something alien.They don't like its shape （too many heads and eyes），its smell （too fishy），all the bones （too difficult to eat） and the funny﹣looking arms and legs （too strange）.This probably explains why fried fish is so popular.Since the fish has been covered in batter （面糊） and fried，it looks nothing like anything that ever lived in the sea.So，are you having some fish and chips？
（1）In Britain，owners of fish and chips shops usually B .
A.put no salt on the chips
B.wrap the food in newspaper
C.chat with foreign travelers
D.add a little vinegar to the chips
（2）What can we learn from the passage？ C
A.Fish and chips in Britain are a strange thing in general.
B.A meal of fish and chips is a little bit expensive in Britain.
C.Fish and chips are more than a light snack to British people.
D.Harry Ramsden's is popular in Britain except in the north of England.
（3）The writing style of this passage is a bit D .
A.serious
B.old﹣fashioned
C.romantic
D.relaxed
（4）What can most possibly be the writer's purpose？ C
A.To recommend famous fish and chips shops in Britain.
B.To look back on the history of fish and chips in Britain.
C.To introduce fish and chips to foreign tourists in Britain.
D.To discuss what makes fish and chips popular in Britain.
