This might not seem fair, but all people are different and how well you can do something is different to others. This means there are “winners" and “losers", and lots of people are neither winners nor losers but in-between. You can choose to be a good winner or an even better loser whether you are competing against others or yourself.Being a “good” winnerNo one likes a “show off”.No one likes someone who takes all the praise for the efforts of a team.No one likes people who put others down to make themselves look good.To be a good winner you need to:◆Be modest(谦虚的).◆ Thank those who helped you for their efforts.◆ Keep trying to improve your skills.◆Aim for the next step up in whatever you are doing well.Being an even better loserOf course it’s disappointing to lose, especially if you are close to winning. Behaving badly or angrily, name-calling and going on about things being “unfair” won’t change the final result and will only make you look like a bad sport. And no one likes bad sports either.To be an even better loser you need to :◆ Behave politely, nicely and kindly.◆ Congratulate the other team.◆ Keep any negative (消极的) thoughts to yourself - at least until you are away from the game.It’s Ok to let out your negative thoughts to your best friend or parents later. And if you don’t do very well in a game try harder to learn for the next one. Improving yourself makes you a winner too.   1. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A.

In his first diary, he mentioned, “news is going around about a bad cold virus in Wuhan, but I feel worlds away from me and few people wear masks in public.”He recorded in his diaries that thousands of medical workers from different provinces and cities went to Hubei to help with the anti-epidemic (抗疫). Restaurants and shops were closed down, while supermarkets checked people’s body temperatures. And community workers across the country took strict action, asking people to stay at home and helping the old buy daily necessities.“People in some countries said these measures could cause panic among the public. However, my experience in China shows these efforts are useful and effective, which finally removed people’s fear,” Wood said.Wood’s diaries soon attracted the world’s attention. Over 10,000 people left him messages on Facebook, and he was interviewed by Canadian CTV which later showed his diaries on its website.“I also received greetings from my family and friends in Canada. They said they were inspired by the efforts the Chinese have made, he said. “People from some countries thought the Chinese overreacted, and that the Chinese government had overdone in epidemic prevention and control. However,since more countries and regions have been infected(感染) by the virus, more and more people came to realize how proper and important China’s control and prevention measures are.”Wood is working with the New World Press, which plans to make his diaries a book named The Invisible War. In this book, he hopes to share China’s anti-epidemic experience with more people across the world so they can build confidence to fight against the virus.11. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. People thought the virus spread fast.B. People failed to realize the danger of the virus.C. People wore masks in restaurants and supermarkets.D. People paid enough attention to Wood’s news report.12. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. Business people’s work against the virus. B. Different people’s efforts against the virus.C. Community workers’ key role against the virus. D. Medical workers’ great support against the virus.13. Which one did Wood agree about China’s anti-epidemic measures?A. The measures removed people’s fear.B. The Chinese cared too much about the virus.C. The measures would make people worry a lot.D. The government took too strict measures to control the virus.14. What caused some foreigners to change their thought?A. People’s infection in more countries and regions.B. The worldwide news report on China’s measures.C. Wood’s experience in China shared in his diaries.D. Chinese people’s working together against the virus.15. What is The Inuisible War mainly going to talk about?A.

What Wood’s friends have done to help him fight the virus.DTerrible weather events are harming the planet, and experts warn of even greater results to come. The sea ice loss and the Arctic ice melting (融化) caused by climate change have increased much in the last ten years. So they have pushed down the number of polar bears and seals while polar bears depend on sea ice for hunting seals.According to the data from the WMO, temperatures on the Antarctica (南极洲) just hit 18.3℃, which is higher than the record of 17.59℃ in March, 2015. Moreover, temperatures in this area have warmed about 3℃ over the last 50 years. Although such temperatures might be considered pleasant for a picnic or a hiking trip, this is the Antarctica we are talking about. It is home to the most inhospitable environment on the planet because it is supposed to be an extremely cold place. In fact, the average temperature of the continent’s central area is -57℃.Besides, many places are experiencing the extreme weather this summer. Australia is undergoing its worst drought (干旱) since the 1930s, leaving bushfires burning so long and causing many deaths. Meanwhile in Europe, crops in the northwest are suffering the driest weather in the past 80 years. Recently West Texas in America has also gone through its worst drought in more than 70 years, while floods have hit Eastern and Southern China.“Climate change is bad for us human beings, which causes direct health problems. I’m afraid there will be more common events like the one that 30,000 to 50,000 persons died in Europe in 2003 due to the heat wave there,” Professor Schwartz said. “It will also cause more air pollution, diseases and lack of clean water and so on.”16. What doesn’t bring down the number of polar bears according to this passage?A. Hunting. B. Climate change. C. The sea ice loss. D. The Arctic ice melting.17. What can you get out of this passage?A. The Antarctica is pleasant for a hiking trip.B. Extreme weather led to wildfires burning in Europe.C. Climate change will cause air pollution and diseases.D. The temperatures on the Antarctica hit the highest in March, 2015.18. What does the underlined word “inhospitable" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. comfortable to live B. friendly to live C. unhealthy to live D. unfit to live19. Which place didn’t experience drought this year?A. Europe. B. Australia. C. America. D. China.20. What is the main idea for this passage?A The whole planet is drier and drier. B. The Antarctica is warmer and warmer.C Climate change is getting worse and worse. D. The number of polar bears is smaller and smaller.第二节:完形填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A, B, C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AI was four months pregnant (怀孕的) with my first child when my baby’s heart stopped beating.

Like many other insects, it has six legs. On the forehead are two big eyes, between which is a long beak. It uses its beak to drink juice from trees. The adult cicada has two sets of wings which can shake together to produce a high, continuous sound when the weather is hot.In its whole life, it mainly goes through two stages. In the beginning, when a cicada is under the ground, it is called a baby cicada. It drinks juice from tree roots and it is covered in a hard shell. At this time, it has no wings - just legs. After coming out of the ground, it breaks out of its old shell. Under the old shell is a new shell and four wings. The cicada finds a place in the sun to dry its new shell and wings. Gradually, the baby cicada grows into an adult. After a cicada becomes an adult, it sings loudly in hot summer. That’s why it is called a born singer in nature.At present, over two thousand kinds of cicadas are distributed (分布) around the world. All of them spend most of their life underground. You can find about four hundred and fifty kinds in Africa. Besides, there are about one hundred and twenty kinds in China. There are also about seven special kinds in the US that stay under the ground for many years.46. _________47. _________48. _________49. _________50. _________第三节:书面表达51.假定你是李华，请回复笔友Mike的邮件，给他至少3条建议并说明理由。词数100左右，开头和结尾已给出，不计人总词数。To: Li HuaFrom: MikeHi, Li Hua.
