The last Monday in March is for students to learn it at school. It helps students learn more about how to keep themselves safe. What are the main accidents at school? Let’s take a look. Stampedes, earthquakes and fires are the main accidents at school. A stampede always happens in crowded places. When students around you begin to push, just stand there and try to hold onto something. If you fall down in the crowd, move to one side and protect your head with your hands around. When earthquakes happen, you can get under a desk quickly and hold on. It will protect you from falling things. If you are outside, find a place away from buildings, trees, and power lines. When there’s a fire, leave the classroom quickly. It’s better to put something wet over your mouth and nose. In this way, you won’t breathe in smoke. Many people die in a fire, not because of the fire but smoke. It makes them cough and they can’t breathe. That’s very dangerous! So when you want to get out, you should make yourself close to the floor. Then you can breathe some fresh air. 39. What does the underlined word “Stampedes” in Paragraph 1 probably mean in Chinese? ________ A. 瘟疫. B. 踩踏. C. 窒息. D. 溺水. 40. What should you do when a fire happens? ________ A. Protect your stomach with your hands. B. Get under a desk quickly and hold on. C. Put something wet over your mouth and nose. D. Protect your head with your hands. 41. What is the structure of the text? ________ A. ①/②③④ B. ①/②③/④ C. ①②③/④ D. ①②/③④ 42. Where may you read the passage? ________ A. In a travel diary. B. In a safety guidebook. C. In an advertisement. D. In a novel. 【答案】39. B 40. C 41. A 42. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国安全教育的重要性，以及学生在学校中如何保护自己的安全。 【39题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“A stampede always happens in crowded places. When students around you begin to push, just stand there and try to hold onto something. If you fall down in the crowd, move to one side and protect your head with your hands around.”人多的地方经常发生踩踏事件。当你周围的学生开始推挤时，你就站在那里，试着抓住什么东西。如果你在人群中摔倒，请向一侧移动，用双手保护头部。由此可知，单词stampede是“踩踏”的意思。故选B。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When there’s a fire, leave the classroom quickly. It’s better to put something wet over your mouth and nose.”可知，当发生火灾时，要在你的嘴和鼻子上放些湿的东西。故选C。 【41题详解】 篇章结构题。根据“In China, safety education is becoming more and more important now.”可知，第一段主要讲中国现在重视安全教育；根据“A stampede always happens in crowded places.”以及“When earthquakes happen, you can get under a desk quickly and hold on.”以及“When there’s a fire, leave the classroom quickly.”可知，第二、三、四段是并列关系，分别讲了发生踩踏、地震和火灾时给人们的建议。所以文章是总分结构。故选A。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据“ It helps students learn more about how to keep themselves safe. What are the main accidents at school? Let’s take a look.”以及通读全文可知，本文主要是介绍了一些在学校可能会发生的事故，并对这些事故提出一些安全知识。由此推测文章出自安全指南。故选B。 C There is a close relationship between humans and dogs for thousands of years. We love dogs for many reasons, including their loyalty (忠诚的), their sense of fun and how soft they are. Now researchers have found another reason why humans might like dogs: their wagging (摇摆的) tails. A research team looked at more than 100 studies on tail-wagging. They noted that dogs wag their tails to communicate, but different types of tail-wagging might be sending different messages. The research team came up with two possible explanations. The first has something with the rhythm of tail-wagging. Rhythm is repeated sounds or movements—it’s an important part of music. Humans love music, too. So they chose to make friends with dogs that wagged their tails more. Then this tail-wagging would have been passed down to the dogs’ children. The second explanation is that humans chose dogs for other reasons, such as tameness (温顺), and dogs with these features happened to wag their tails more. This would make tail-wagging a side effect of domestication (驯养). More research is needed because no one really understands how or why wagging happens. One of the team, Andrea Ravignani, told the science.org website that there is a lot of work to be done. “We still don’t know exactly which parts of the dog brain control which features of the tail-wagging,” she said. 43. Which of the following “note” has the similar meaning to the underlined one in Paragraph 2? A. Someone left this note to you. B. Mr. Penny made a note in his book. C She noted the project needed more money. D. I always carry some paper to note down important ideas. 44. What may the research team study next? A. What kind of rhythm do dogs wag in? B.

In which unit of a textbook can the text be found? A. Unit 1 The Sound of Music. B. Unit2 The World of Animals C. Unit 3 The Way to health D. Unit 4 The Light of Technology 【答案】43. C 44. C 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了研究人员发现了人类喜欢狗的另一个原因：它们摇尾巴。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“They noted that dogs wag their tails to communicate, but different types of tail-wagging might be sending different messages.”可知，note在此处意为“指出”，与选项C“她指出，这个项目需要更多的资金。”中的note含义一样。故选C。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据“‘We still don’t know exactly which parts of the dog brain control which features of the tail-wagging,’ she said.”可推知，研究团队接下来可能会研究狗的大脑哪些部分控制着尾巴的摆动。故选C。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据“There is a close relationship between humans and dogs for thousands of years.”及全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了狗的一些相关信息，所以这篇文章可能出现在关于动物的教科书单元中。故选B。 D As the saying goes, “The roses in her hand, the flavor (味道) in mine.” A few years ago, a friend gave me a restaurant gift card, and I picked a sunny Sunday afternoon to use it. It felt good taking my family to a nice restaurant. The meal was delicious, and we all had a good time together. The gift card covered almost all of the check (账单). I reached into my wallet to get enough money to cover the rest. I saw two bills (钞票) inside. The first would cover the rest of the check. The second would cover the check and give the waitress a nice tip (小费). I reached down to pick the first one. At that moment, my mind went back to 30 years ago. I was working in a restaurant much like this one. It was long hours of hard work for low pay. I remembered seeing the waitresses worrying about how they were going to pay the rent. I remembered the pain in their eyes and the sadness in their faces at the end of the day. I was back in the present again, with my fingers touching the smaller bill in my wallet. I smiled, pushed it back down and picked out the larger bill. I folded it around the gift card and covered both of them with the check. As we all got up from the table, I handed them to the hard-working waitress. “You keep the change,” I said with a smile and a happy heart. We are all one family in this world. Do your best to be kind. Do your best to be a good person and replace pain with joy. 46. How did the writer begin the passage? A. By asking a question. B. By telling a joke. C. By using an old saying. D. By making a survey. 47. Why did the writer use the larger bill to pay for the check in the end? A. He had enough money. B. The waitress asked him for a tip. C. He needed to pay the rent for the waitress. D. He understood the life of a waitress isn’t easy. 48. According to the passage, we can infer that the writer was ______. A. a rich person B. a caring and kind person C. a hard-working person D. a sad and poor person 49. What was the writer’s opinion about his story? A. Do your best to be a good person. B. Carry more money with you. C. Have meals with family more. D. Help others with purpose. 【答案】46. C 47. D 48. B 49. A 【解析】 【导语】本文作者去餐厅用餐的经历。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据“As the saying goes, ‘The roses in her hand, the flavor (味道) in mine.’”可知，作者是通过使用一个谚语来开始这篇文章的。故选C。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I remembered seeing the waitresses worrying about how they were going to pay the rent.

Considering that, the Global School Community aims to bring digital books to all the children of the world and their families. ②Digital technology makes a real difference. It can reach across the world and is fairly inexpensive. The Global School Community makes e-books available to children all around the world, either through mobile phones, pads or computers, saving the cost of making books and transport. Technology also helps improve our communication skills. Through the use of technology, schooling (远程教学) is one example of the success of communication through the Internet. ③The first books a child reads can have a great influence on that child.

As I was riding a bike home from my office as usual. I noticed a person cycling in front of me, about 300 meters away. I could tell he was a little slower than me and I decided to catch up with him. It was about one kilometer to go on the road before I had to turn off, so I started cycling faster and faster. Every block, I was gaining on him just a little bit. In a few minutes, I was only about 100 meters behind him. I got so excited that I really picked up speed, trying my best to push myself. Finally, I made it. I passed him by and felt pretty good on the inside at that moment. I beat him, of course, but he didn’t even know we were racing. He was still cycling slowly along the street. And after riding past him, I was aware (意识到) I had missed my turn as a result of being so focused (专注的) on competing with him. I had gone almost six blocks further and had to turn around and go all the way back. Is that what happens in life when we pay too much attention to others, trying to pass them and prove that we are more successful? We spend our time and energy chasing (追逐) after them and at last we miss out on our own directions. So _____________________________ 53. How far was the writer from a person cycling in front of him?

B In China, safety education is becoming more and more important now. The last Monday in March is for students to learn it at school. It helps students learn more about how to keep themselves safe. What are the main accidents at school? Let’s take a look. Stampedes, earthquakes and fires are the main accidents at school. A stampede always happens in crowded places. When students around you begin to push, just stand there and try to hold onto something. If you fall down in the crowd, move to one side and protect your head with your hands around. When earthquakes happen, you can get under a desk quickly and hold on. It will protect you from falling things. If you are outside, find a place away from buildings, trees, and power lines. When there’s a fire, leave the classroom quickly. It’s better to put something wet over your mouth and nose. In this way, you won’t breathe in smoke. Many people die in a fire, not because of the fire but smoke. It makes them cough and they can’t breathe. That’s very dangerous! So when you want to get out, you should make yourself close to the floor. Then you can breathe some fresh air. 39. What does the underlined word “Stampedes” in Paragraph 1 probably mean in Chinese? ________ A. 瘟疫. B. 踩踏. C. 窒息. D. 溺水. 40. What should you do when a fire happens? ________ A. Protect your stomach with your hands. B. Get under a desk quickly and hold on. C. Put something wet over your mouth and nose. D. Protect your head with your hands. 41. What is the structure of the text? ________ A. ①/②③④ B. ①/②③/④ C. ①②③/④ D. ①②/③④ 42. Where may you read the passage? ________ A. In a travel diary. B. In a safety guidebook. C. In an advertisement. D. In a novel. C There is a close relationship between humans and dogs for thousands of years. We love dogs for many reasons, including their loyalty (忠诚的), their sense of fun and how soft they are. Now researchers have found another reason why humans might like dogs: their wagging (摇摆的) tails. A research team looked at more than 100 studies on tail-wagging. They noted that dogs wag their tails to communicate, but different types of tail-wagging might be sending different messages. The research team came up with two possible explanations. The first has something with the rhythm of tail-wagging. Rhythm is repeated sounds or movements—it’s an important part of music. Humans love music, too. So they chose to make friends with dogs that wagged their tails more. Then this tail-wagging would have been passed down to the dogs’ children. The second explanation is that humans chose dogs for other reasons, such as tameness (温顺), and dogs with these features happened to wag their tails more. This would make tail-wagging a side effect of domestication (驯养). More research is needed because no one really understands how or why wagging happens. One of the team, Andrea Ravignani, told the science.org website that there is a lot of work to be done. “We still don’t know exactly which parts of the dog brain control which features of the tail-wagging,” she said. 43. Which of the following “note” has the similar meaning to the underlined one in Paragraph 2? A. Someone left this note to you. B. Mr. Penny made a note in his book. C. She noted the project needed more money. D. I always carry some paper to note down important ideas. 44. What may the research team study next? A. What kind of rhythm do dogs wag in? B. How often do dogs wag their tails every day? C. Which parts of the dog brain control the tail-wagging? D. Do different types of tail-wagging really have different meanings? 45. In which unit of a textbook can the text be found? A. Unit 1 The Sound of Music. B. Unit2 The World of Animals C. Unit 3 The Way to health D. Unit 4 The Light of Technology D As the saying goes, “The roses in her hand, the flavor (味道) in mine.” A few years ago, a friend gave me a restaurant gift card, and I picked a sunny Sunday afternoon to use it. It felt good taking my family to a nice restaurant. The meal was delicious, and we all had a good time together. The gift card covered almost all of the check (账单). I reached into my wallet to get enough money to cover the rest. I saw two bills (钞票) inside. The first would cover the rest of the check. The second would cover the check and give the waitress a nice tip (小费). I reached down to pick the first one. At that moment, my mind went back to 30 years ago. I was working in a restaurant much like this one. It was long hours of hard work for low pay. I remembered seeing the waitresses worrying about how they were going to pay the rent. I remembered the pain in their eyes and the sadness in their faces at the end of the day. I was back in the present again, with my fingers touching the smaller bill in my wallet. I smiled, pushed it back down and picked out the larger bill. I folded it around the gift card and covered both of them with the check. As we all got up from the table, I handed them to the hard-working waitress. “You keep the change,” I said with a smile and a happy heart. We are all one family in this world.

And 250 million children of primary school age have no basic reading and writing skills. However, reading makes everything possible in life: education, work and escaping poverty (贫困). Considering that, the Global School Community aims to bring digital books to all the children of the world and their families. ②Digital technology makes a real difference. It can reach across the world and is fairly inexpensive. The Global School Community makes e-books available to children all around the world, either through mobile phones, pads or computers, saving the cost of making books and transport. Technology also helps improve our communication skills. Through the use of technology, schooling (远程教学) is one example of the success of communication through the Internet. ③The first books a child reads can have a great influence on that child. The greater the influence, the more likely the child is to continue reading and learning throughout his life. E-books not only provide knowledge and information, but help people grow healthily in mind. They can provide hours of entertainment and can connect schools all over the world. Studies have shown that children make much progress after only five months of reading e-books. Bido Hafrag, a child from Egypt, said, “Reading e-books not only helps me learn to read and write, but gives me much confidence. It also helps me have a better understanding of the world.” ④The Global School Community has a huge e-book library for every school to enter. It aims to bring digital books to all children and their families, and helps schools, colleges and universities to connect with each other. Please join our family of schools, write an e-book or share resources (资源) at globalschoolcommunity.com. 50. What’s the plan of the Global School Community? A.

F 阅读下列短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题后面的词数要求）。 It was a fine afternoon. As I was riding a bike home from my office as usual. I noticed a person cycling in front of me, about 300 meters away. I could tell he was a little slower than me and I decided to catch up with him. It was about one kilometer to go on the road before I had to turn off, so I started cycling faster and faster. Every block, I was gaining on him just a little bit. In a few minutes, I was only about 100 meters behind him. I got so excited that I really picked up speed, trying my best to push myself. Finally, I made it. I passed him by and felt pretty good on the inside at that moment. I beat him, of course, but he didn’t even know we were racing. He was still cycling slowly along the street. And after riding past him, I was aware (意识到) I had missed my turn as a result of being so focused (专注的) on competing with him. I had gone almost six blocks further and had to turn around and go all the way back. Is that what happens in life when we pay too much attention to others, trying to pass them and prove that we are more successful? We spend our time and energy chasing (追逐) after them and at last we miss out on our own directions. So _____________________________ 53. How far was the writer from a person cycling in front of him?
