So, it’s important to learn about the cultures they’re visiting. BRAZIL In general. Brazilian culture is informal (随意的). Most Brazilians are very friendly, so it’s important to greet the people you meet. Women usually kiss on the cheek, but men usually just shake hands. Brazilians usually stand very close to each other while speaking. Even if this is unusual in your culture, try not to move away if it happens. If you go to a business meeting, you are not expected to take a gift. On the other hand, if you are invited to someone’s house, you should take a gift—like flowers or chocolate. However, don’t take anything purple or black, as these colors have to do with death. If you are invited to dinner, arrive at least 30 minutes late, but always dress well, because a person’s appearance can be very important to Brazilians. SAUDI ARABIA Saudi Arabia is a very traditional country. It is important to greet the oldest or the most senior person first. People shake hands in business situations, but men and women do not touch in public. In a business meeting, do not start with business matters at once. Instead, start the conversation by asking about people’s family or health. Arrive on time for business meetings, but don’t be surprised if others are late. Being on time is less important in Saudi Arabia than it is in most western countries. Business dress is formal. Gifts are not expected at business meetings. If you are invited to a Saudi home, acceptable gifts are chocolate or coffee. Be careful not to admire the things the host owns, because he or she’ll feel necessary to give an item to you as a gift. 1．According to the writer, international travel is _______. A．unforgettable B．popular C．interesting D．excellent 2．The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refers to _________. A．kissing on the cheek when greeting B．dressing formally when invited C．preparing gifts at business meetings D．standing very close when talking 3．If we are invited to a Brazilian dinner, we’d better _________. A．dress informally B．bring purple flowers C．be 30 minutes late D．ask about health 4．Which of the followings are mentioned in both countries in the passage? greetings  local snacks  arriving time  giving gifts  dresses A． B． C． D． 5．Why does the writer write this passage?

D．To show different opinions about different cultures. 6．This passage is most probably from a _________. A．magazine B．dictionary C．letter D．storybook Passage 2 While good grades and test are the basic requirements(要求) for getting into college, after-school activities are becoming more important in the college selection process(选拔过程) in the US. As entrance into college has become more difficult, colleges have looked more at what skills you have. Taking part in after-school activities is a great way. High School Clubs Most high schools offer a lot of clubs and activities, so it is easy to find something that you are interested in. Colleges look for students who will also be active other than test scores.There are many clubs in school, such as the drama(戏剧) club and a book club. You may even be able to find a club related to a future job, such as Future Teachers of America. High School Sports If you want to go to college and want to take part in sports at a college level, then this fact just might give you a chance. It is a good idea to focus on one single sport. If you want to study in a college on sportsandneed the college scholarships(奖学金), it would be better if you decide which sport to do. In this way, you will have enough time to build your skills. High School Publications(出版物) Another smart way to be active in high school and show colleges that you are interested in activities more than academics(学术) is to be a part of your school newspaper or magazine. There may be an actual class you can join or you may join a club. Being in high school publications can be very helpful if you want to major in language or education in college. 7．Now in the US, colleges have focused more on the students’ ________ during the selection process. A．good grades B．family background C．skills D．scholarships 8．After-school activities include all of the following except ________.

A．teachers B．students C．parents D．headmasters 12．We can learn from the passage that ________. A．the US colleges prefer to have students who study very hard B．you must take actual classes to be part of school’s newspaper C．being good at sports is considered important in the US college selection D．you can easily find a suitable club to join in every high school in the US Passage 3 Would you like to adopt an animal? Although this sounds very unusual, some children have done just this. The Natural Zoo has given people the chance to adopt animals by paying for all of its food for one year. One of the animals that needed parents was a young tiger named Brocky. The people at the zoo said that it would cost about $900 a year for the food for Brocky. Not many boys and girls have $900 to spend. That is why several hundred children and grown-ups each have sent a little money to the zoo to help pay for Brocky’s food. Some children sent in only a quarter because that was all the money they had. Other children sent in more money than that. Since so many people sent money to the zoo to help pay for Brocky’s food, he now will be able to eat as much as he wants. Brocky surely must be a happy tiger to know that he has so many adopted parents. Many children must also be happy to know that they have helped to feed him. It really will be cool for those children to go to the Natural Zoo to visit their adopted tiger Brocky. 13．Brocky is ________. A．an animal zoo B．an adopted child C．a tiger without children’s love D．a tiger in need of adoption 14．Several hundred people give money to the zoo to help Brocky because ________. A．its food is too expensive for one person to afford B．people don’t want to spend too much money on Brocky C．people don’t love Brocky enough D．the zoo forces them to do so 15．Children will be ________ if they go to the zoo to visit the tiger Brocky.

A．play with many toys B．live without being hungry C．eat meat every day D．have an air-conditioned room to live in 17．We can infer (推断) from the passage that ________. A．zoos are too poor to feed the animals B．there are too many animals in the zoo C．many people are kind to animals D．children love animals better than adults do 18．The underlined word “adopt” probably means “________”. A．choose and raise B．look after C．buy D．give a name Passage 4 On March 22nd, World Water Day is a day to celebrate water and make a difference for people who do not have the water they need. The truth about the world The truth is that we are lucky enough to have clean water whenever we want, but this is not the case for many people around the world. Did you know that around 750 million people do not have clean water to drink? That’s around 1 in 10 people in the world. But what does this mean? If we drink dirty water, we can catch diseases from the bacteria (细菌) and become ill. Every year over 500,000 children die from dirty water. That’s around 1,400 children every day! In Ghana, 85% of all disease are from dirty water, and in Nicaragua, 75% of the people don’t have clean drinking water. Also, in some countries children walk many kilometers every day to get water, they can’t go to school so they don’t learn how to read and write and don’t get an education. Water for everyone In 1993 the United Nations decided that March 22nd is the World Day for Water. On this day every year, countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water. People organize events to raise money. For World Water Day, some people in the UK walk, run or cycle 10 km, others climb mountains or even jump from an aeroplane and skydive to the ground. At one school, children between the ages of 10 and 15 walk 6 km with 6 litres of water, so they can see how it feels to walk along distance carrying heavy bottles of water. People give them money to do these things and all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world. 19．The passage is mainly about _________. A．water festival B．World Earth Day C．drinking water around the world D．how to save water 20．All over the world, _________ of the people can’t have clean drinking water. A．10% B．20% C．85% D．75% 21．About _________ children die from dirty water in the world every day.

Q: When did you start? I’ve been a taxi driver for about five years. Before that I was a bus driver in London, and I enjoyed it, but I wanted more freedom so I changed and started driving my taxi. Q: Have you ever had any famous passengers? Oh yes. I’ve had film stars, politicians, you know, lots of famous people. About a year ago, a really famous actor got in my taxi. I took him to the airport. We were stuck on the way and it took a long time to get there, so he missed his plane and failed to meet his fans. It wasn’t my fault but when he got out of the taxi, he shouted at me angrily! I said to him, “Next time, take a bus!” Q: Have passengers ever left anything in your taxi? Oh yes! People have left all kinds of things — a suitcase, a hat, mobile phones, of course, even a dog once! Years ago, a woman left a pair of shoes on the seat. And one time a passenger left his teeth here! Not real teeth, of course — false teeth. And people have asked me to do some strange jobs. Once a doctor stopped me outside a hospital and asked me to take a skeleton to another hospital. Professors usually use skeletons to teach medical students, you know. And I did. But I asked him to pay first — the skeleton couldn’t pay, after all! Q: 5 Good question. I’ve always enjoyed being a taxi driver and I don’t want to change. But of course, sometimes, it’s not great.

Once its running shoes were very famous, the company is now known 47 its basketball shoes, other forms of footwear, clothing and sporting equipment as well. In the 1960’s, Bill Bowerman, one of Nike’s founders, made several new styles of running shoes. He had been at rack and field coach (田径教练), so he knew exactly 48 the athletes (运动员) needed. Soon, some of the world’s best track and field athletes 49 world records by wearing Bowerman’s running shoes. Over the next ten years, Nike’s share of the US running shoe market grew to more than 50 percent. After Nike went public in 1980, it developed quickly, including its clothing line and reaching out into other sports. Michael Jordan 50 wearing Air Jordan shoes in 1985. A few years later, people everywhere were saying “Just do it,” Nike’s most successful advertising slogan. The 1990’s saw amazing growth for the company, as its international sales increased a lot. In Tokyo, Paris, Athens, and Sao Paolo, Nike came to mean 51 and fashionable.

And it’s not just Western culture that has done this. Cultures in Japan, China, India, and Africa have done the same thing, but for different reasons. Let’s take a look at some commonly known lucky and unlucky numbers to see why they are loved or hated. Everyone knows that “7” is lucky. But 53 ? The root of most lucky numbers can be found in religion. God, for example, is said to have created the world in 7 days. Until the 1800s, there were seven known planets in the solar system（太阳系）. Seven is even the usual number of spots on a ladybug and ladybugs are considered good luck themselves. “4” means bad luck in Asia. For example, the 54 of “4” in Chinese is very similar to the word “death”. And because of this, “4” has been considered bad luck in China. “666” is a 55 number. It is extremely bad luck in Western culture but very good luck in many Asian countries. 56 the Christian Bible（圣经）, the number 666 means Satan（撒旦，魔鬼）. It might be the most avoided number in Western culture. For example, there used to be US Highway 666 in New Mexico, but in 2003 it was changed to US Highway 491 because the government was afraid that the number would scare tourists away. Another example is that Ronald Reagan, 40th President of the United States, changed the 57 666 St. Cloud Road, Bel Air to 668 St. Cloud Road, Bel Air before moving in. But in Asia, people love “666” because it 58 “things going smoothly”, and is considered to be very lucky. 53．A．when B．how C．why D．where 54．A．meaning B．pronunciation C．spelling D．writing 55．A．different B．boring C．difficult D．interesting 56．A．Because of B．According to C．Thanks to D．With the help of 57．A．address B．road C．phone number D．location 58．A．sounds like B．looks like C．feels like D．seems like Cloze 3 Have you ever wondered why you sometimes end up with 10 mosquito (蚊子) bites in a single night, while your friend sleeping in the same room doesn’t? Scientists have 59 that 85 percent of our tendency (倾向性) to mosquito bites is down to our genes. Certain chemicals in our bodies can also attract mosquitoes. Mosquitoes have even developed a 60 sense of smell to pick out their favourite blood. Jerry Butler, a scientist from the University of Florida, explains, “One in ten people is highly attractive to mosquitoes.” According to Butler’s study, mosquitoes cannot create their own cholesterol (胆固醇) and B vitamins, 61 they look for people who are rich in those things. Mosquitoes are also attracted to certain acids (酸性物质) produced on the skin during sweating. 62 this, they can smell CO2, in human breath from far away. Larger people often 63 more CO2 , which may be why mosquitoes often prefer adults to small children. Pregnant (怀孕的) women are also 64 bitten, as their breath contains increased levels of CO2 . So if you’re feeling a big sweaty, or you think you might be genetically designed to be a mosquito’s dinner, then pack some extra repellents (驱蚊剂) when you go out. 59．A．studied B．interviewed C．found out D．examined 60．A．careful B．sharp C．heavy D．dangerous 61．A．but B．and C．or D．so 62．A．because of B．In addition to C．Instead of D．Although 63．A．give off B．give up C．give in D．give back 64．A．seriously B．hardly C．easily D．partly Cloze 4 When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! I 65 my parents my birthday wish, but I knew there was little hope because my family could 66 have that money. On my birthday my parents told me they had my gift outside in the back yard. At once I 67 out to the yard. There was my bike, 68 it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. It was so disappointing! As time went by, I began to understand my parents gave me 69 more than just a rusty (生锈的) old bike. They gave me a life lesson about love. When you give something out of love, it doesn’t matter what it is in fact. What matters is the love that is in it. Do remember, a gift that 70 two dollars isn’t any less valuable (有价值的) than one that costs one hundred dollars, or even more. 65．A．talked B．spoke C．said D．told 66．A．hardly B．quickly C．slowly D．easily 67．A．rushed B．rode C．climbed D．came 68．A．and B．or C．but D．because 69．A．anything B．nothing C．something D．everything 70．A．spends B．costs C．pays D．offers Cloze 5 Imagine a mass of floating waste is two times the size of the state of Texas. Texas has a land area of more than 678,000 square kilometers. So it might be difficult to imagine anything twice as big. All together, this mass of waste flowing in the North Pacific Ocean is known as the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. It 71 about 3,500,000 tons. The waste includes bags, bottles and containers — plastic products of all kinds. The eastern part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is about 1,600 kilometers west of California. The western part is west of the Hawaiian Islands and east of Japan. The area has been 72 a kind of oceanic desert, with light winds and slow moving water currents. The water moves so slow that garbage from all over the world 73 there. In recent years, there have been growing concerns (担心) about the floating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste, resulting in death or 74 . Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces of plastic. The trash can also make animals feel full, lessening their desire to eat or drink. The floating garbage also can have 75 effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection (感染) of disease from polluted waste, and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers can also get trapped in the plastic. Its existence first gained public attention in 1997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer (海洋学家) Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier, 76 oceanographer learned of the trash after a shipment of rubber duckies got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. In August, 2009, a team from the University of California, San Diego became the latest group to travel to it. They were 77 by the amount of waste they saw. They gathered hundreds of sea creatures and water samples to measure the garbage patch’s effect on ocean environment. 71．A．works B．weighs C．contains D．consists 72．A．the same as B．known as C．described as D．named as 73．A．crosses B．collects C．begins D．brushes 74．A．injury B．impression C．health D．hopes 75．A．helpless B．helpful C．harmless D．harmful 76．A．other B．another C．others D．that 77．A．amazing B．amused C．shocked D．interested Cloze 6 Choose the best answer and complete the passage (选择最恰当的选项完成短文) Work today is very different from the way it was fifty or even twenty years ago. In the past, most people got up 78 in the morning, went to their offices by bus, train or car, worked eight hours and went home again. In today’s world, many companies are changing this 79 of working. More and more people work from home. This means that they 80 go to an office every day. This is possible, of course, because of technology like the Internet, the fax and video telephones that help you see other people when you talk to them. These telephones also let you talk to many people at the same time. You will get the same salary, but there is 81 wasted. Is it better or worse than working in an office? Well, if you work from home and your neighbour doesn’t, when he is 82 the office at 7:00, you’re getting up. He is sitting in his car at 7:30, and you’re drinking a cup of coffee and checking your e-mails. At 8:00 when your neighbour is arriving at the office, you’re taking a shower. After that, you have breakfast and begin your day’s work. At lunchtime you aren’t very hungry, so you decide to continue working. You work until about 4:00, check your e-mails and then relax.

That’s 84 it will hold not only the 24th Winter Olympic Games in Beijing, but also the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou. It will be the 85 Chinese city to hold the Asian Games after Beijing and Guangzhou in 1990 and 2010. The themes for the Hangzhou Asian Games are “green, smart, economical and civilized”. On August 6, 2018, the official emblem (会徽) for the Hangzhou Asian Games was 86 . The emblem is called “Surging Tides (潮涌)”.

The first robot’s name is Congcong. It comes from jade cong. Its yellow color is the color of the earth and harvests. The name of the second robot is Lianlian. It is 88 . Its name is from the lotus leaf. It stands for the West Lake. The third robot is called Chenchen. Its name is from Gongchen 89 which is over the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal (运河).

It hopes to reduce students’ learning burden（负担） by reducing homework and after-school classes. Several months have passed since then. How do students feel about this new policy? “Our homework is clearly less than before,” said 13-year-old Shen Yuzhe from Beijing. “We are not encouraged to buy workbooks anymore.” According to him, teachers now teach at a much slower pace. Students have enough time to process new knowledge. For 13-year-old Zhang Hangming from Tianjin, the best thing about “double reduction” is the increased time in after-school activities. “We can now spend more time taking part in clubs and activities, such as dancing, volleyball and drama. I have joined a group called ‘leadership development’ where I can learn all kinds of skills beyond school study,” said Zhang. Both Shen and Zhang find there are fewer exams now. But they think it’s not necessarily a good thing. “Exams push me to study harder. Each exam shows my progress as well as my weak points,” Zhang said. Shen also pointed out that when burden is lightened, self-discipline（自律）becomes the key. “Some students now spend more time having fun when homework is finished early. But if you use all the free time to relax, you might fall behind your peers（同龄人）,” he said. 90．Why does the government introduce the “double reduced” policy? 91．What is the best thing the “double reduced” policy bring to Zhang Hangming? 92．Who thinks fewer exams are good for students, Zhang Hangming or Shen Yuzhe? 93．What does Shen Yuzhe think will happen when a student spends all his free time relaxing? 94．Is the “double reduced” policy a good thing to you? Why or Why not? Passage 2 Laura Berner grew up in the mountains in Bavaria, Germany. “I remember as a child looking up into the sky and watching eagles fly over the valley where I lived,” she says. “That’s when I first decided that I’d love to leap into the air and feel the wind lift me off my feet.” Laura had her first paragliding lesson when she was sixteen, and fell in love with the sport. “You run down a mountain slope, the wind catches your wing, and then you’re flying like a bird. It feels great. The views of the mountains from up there are fantastic.” Laura’s husband Martin had never tried paragliding, but he was crazy about skiing. It seemed like a good idea for Laura and Martin to try each other’s hobbies. He taught her how to ski and she showed him how to paraglide. When each of them had learned how to do the other sport well, they decided to combine (融合) them and try paraskiing. “It’s like paragliding, but you’re wearing skis,” says Martin. “When you land, you have to start skiing immediately, or you will drop down in the snow. You have to be a good skier.” In the past, Laura mostly did her hobby in the summer and Martin could only do his in the winter. Now they spend every winter weekend gliding over the valleys together, then skiing down the slopes of a snow-covered mountain. And in the summer they both do normal paragliding. “It’s more fun doing our hobbies together,” says Laura. “Now we can both really enjoy the summer and the winter!” 95．Did Laura want to leap into the air like an eagle when she was a child? 96．When did Laura start to be keen on paragliding? 97．Why does Laura like paragliding? 98．How did Laura and Martin combine the two sports? 99．Is it more interesting or less for Laura and Martin to do their hobbies together? 100．Would you like to try paraskiing? Why? Passage 3 I am Mari. I live in Flint, Michigan. About five years ago, our water began to smell funny. My family started getting really bad skin problems. My little sister needed special medicine. She wasn’t the only kid in Flint who got so sick. Some people suffered from bad headaches. Others had stomachache. Across the city, people complained that something was seriously wrong with their tap water. Our water was polluted. We couldn’t drink or cook with the water from our tap. We had to use bottled water for drinking, cooking, and brushing our teeth. The only safe way to take baths was to heat up water from bottles. In 2015, when I was 8 years old, I decided to speak up for the people of Flint. I wrote a letter to then-president Barack Obama to ask him for help. In response, he came to speak with our community. I got to meet him. But I wanted to do more. My friends and family helped me start a campaign for Flint. Our goal was to raise S15,000. So far, we’ve collected $280,000! For the past few years, I’ve been giving out bottles of water and new water filters (过滤器) to people in my city. Many people in Flint still can’t use their tap water. I’ve also used social media to ask people around the world for help. I have more than 100,000 followers on the Internet, including famous people and regular people from different countries. Most people now know me as Little Miss Flint. I’m proud that I am able to help my neighbors get clean water. I’ll continue until I help every single Flint citizen feel safe drinking the water from their taps. People should realize that Flint isn’t the only place with water issues. It’s important for us all to ask questions about what’s in the water at school and at home. My goal is to run for U.S. president in 2044 — as soon as I’m old enough. But you don’t have to be an adult to change the world. It starts with helping out in your own community. You have a voice and the ability to make that voice heard. Don’t let anyone stop you. 101．Is Mari the girl who is known as Little Miss Flint? 102．What happened in Flint about five years ago? People because 103．What did Mari do to speak up for the people in Flint in 2015? 104．How do Mari and her team help people in Flint with the money they have raised? 105．According to the passage, what are the two things that Maris will do in the future? 106．What can we learn from what Mari said to teenagers in the last paragraph? Passage 4 Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) Golden Generation This year, several young athletes shone brightly at the Beijing Winter Olympics, giving us a chance to see their generation’s nature. Obviously, the young generation is filled with “brave fighters” who want to challenge (挑战) impossibilities. Gu Ailing is a good example. After she finished strong in the first two jumps in the women’s freeski Big Air event (女子自由滑雪大跳越), it was certain that she could get a medal. But instead of playing it safe, the 18-year-old skier pushed herself to the limit. On the last jump, Gu decided to try a more difficult trick (动作). “I’m an 18-year-old girl living my best life. I’m having a great time” Gu said. “It doesn’t really matter whether other people are happy or not, because I feel I’m doing my best and I’m enjoying the whole process.” Gu’s good friend, Chinese snowboarder Su Yiming also shares a similar attitude. He takes sports as a way to have fun. The 17-year-old boy didn’t feel upset when he was judged to have lost the gold. Instead, he enjoyed the chance to compete with his idol, the Canadian athlete Max Parrot. “On the podium (领奖台), when my idol hugged me tightly, I was satisfied. All I did today was enjoying the competition and focusing on my tricks. As long as I am on my snowboard, I am delighted.” Su said. This is the young generation that not only dares to push the limits but also enjoys life. 107．How old was Gu Ailing when she took part in the Beijing Winter Olympics?   108．Gu Ailing could get a medal after the first two jumps, couldn’t she?   109．What did Gu Ailing do on the last jump?   110．How did Su Yiming probably feel when he had the chance to compete with his idol?   111．What did the Canadian athlete Max Parrot do on the podium?   112．Why do we call the athletes the “golden generation”?   Passage 5 Read the passage and answer the following questions.（阅读短文，回答问题） School tests can be stressful. But they might also encourage you to help change the world. Three girls, Kristen, Jenna and Marisa from New York, learned about a growing problem from a reading test they took. The problem is e-waste, short for electronic waste (电子垃圾). The girls learned that some dangerous chemicals in e-waste can damage the environment and people. Afterwards, they had to come up with an idea for a science project. They remembered the interesting topic from their test. So the girls started a recycling drive to help other students and the community learn about properly (合理地) recycling e-waste. They called themselves the E-Waste Girls. They put recycling boxes in the school hall and asked the students to collect old cell phones, radios and other items. When the boxes were full, they sent them to a special recycling center. The recyclers took out the dangerous chemicals and disposed of (处理) them properly, so that they don’t go into the air or the ground or the water. One big way people can help reduce e-waste is to buy smartly. So the girls strongly advised people to consider electronics made with fewer dangerous chemicals and choose electronics that will last several years. The girls’ project also helped them become finalists (决赛选手) in the We Can Change the World Challenge, a national student competition. The E-Waste Girls see a bright future in which projects like theirs will not be needed any more. 113．The E-Waste Girls first learned about e-waste in a reading test, didn’t they? . 114．Why did the E-Waste Girls start a recycling drive? . 115．Where did they send the full recycling boxes? . 116．What did the recyclers do to make e-waste not pollute the air or the ground or the water? . 117．What does the last sentence “The E-Waste Girls see a bright future in which projects like theirswill not be needed any more.” want to tell us? . 四、书面表达 118．Write at least 60 words on the topic “Everyone can change the world”（以“人人都能改变世界”为题，写一篇不少于60个词的短文，标点符号不占格） The E-Waste Girls 的故事告诉我们，只要我们愿意，我们都能为世界贡献自己的一份力量，都能以自己的行动和智慧改变这个世界。请结合自己的经历或见闻写一篇以“Everyone can change the world”为题的文章。 （注意： l. 文中不得出现任何姓名、校名及其它相关信息，否则不予评分。 2. 照抄阅读语篇不得分。） _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 119．现实中，大到自然环境和社会环境，小到个人生活和学习，变化无处不在，面对变化，唯有积极适应，才能有所进步和收获。校园网正在开展以“适应变化”为主题的征文活动。假如你是王刚，请用英语写一篇短文投稿，谈谈你生活中一个变化，你是如何应对这个变化的，以及有什么收获。 提示问题： 1.What is the change that happened in your life? 2.How did you deal with it ? 3.What have you learned from the experience?

So, it’s important to learn about the cultures they’re visiting. BRAZIL In general. Brazilian culture is informal (随意的). Most Brazilians are very friendly, so it’s important to greet the people you meet. Women usually kiss on the cheek, but men usually just shake hands. Brazilians usually stand very close to each other while speaking. Even if this is unusual in your culture, try not to move away if it happens. If you go to a business meeting, you are not expected to take a gift. On the other hand, if you are invited to someone’s house, you should take a gift—like flowers or chocolate. However, don’t take anything purple or black, as these colors have to do with death. If you are invited to dinner, arrive at least 30 minutes late, but always dress well, because a person’s appearance can be very important to Brazilians. SAUDI ARABIA Saudi Arabia is a very traditional country. It is important to greet the oldest or the most senior person first. People shake hands in business situations, but men and women do not touch in public. In a business meeting, do not start with business matters at once. Instead, start the conversation by asking about people’s family or health. Arrive on time for business meetings, but don’t be surprised if others are late. Being on time is less important in Saudi Arabia than it is in most western countries. Business dress is formal. Gifts are not expected at business meetings. If you are invited to a Saudi home, acceptable gifts are chocolate or coffee. Be careful not to admire the things the host owns, because he or she’ll feel necessary to give an item to you as a gift. 1．According to the writer, international travel is _______. A．unforgettable B．popular C．interesting D．excellent 2．The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refers to _________. A．kissing on the cheek when greeting B．dressing formally when invited C．preparing gifts at business meetings D．standing very close when talking 3．If we are invited to a Brazilian dinner, we’d better _________. A．dress informally B．bring purple flowers C．be 30 minutes late D．ask about health 4．Which of the followings are mentioned in both countries in the passage? greetings  local snacks  arriving time  giving gifts  dresses A． B． C． D． 5．Why does the writer write this passage? A．To ask more people to travel to different countries. B．To introduce some basic rules in different cultures. C．To teach tourists how to understand English culture. D．To show different opinions about different cultures. 6．This passage is most probably from a _________. A．magazine B．dictionary C．letter D．storybook 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．D 5．B 6．A 【详解】本文详细地介绍了巴西和沙特阿拉伯不同的文化。 1．细节理解题。根据“International travel is popular,”可知，国际旅行很受欢迎。故选B。 2．词意猜测题。根据“Brazilians usually stand very close to each other while speaking.”巴西人说话时通常站得很近。可知，句中的this就指代“standing very close when talking”这句话。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“If you are invited to dinner, arrive at least 30 minutes late, but always dress well,”可知，如果我们被邀请参加巴西晚宴，我们最好迟到30分钟。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“Most Brazilians are very friendly, so it’s important to greet the people you meet.…If you go to a business meeting, you are not expected to take a gift.”以及“On the other hand, if you are invited to someone’s house, you should take a gift—like flowers or chocolate.…because a person’s appearance can be very important to Brazilians.”还有“ It is important to greet the oldest or the most senior person first.…Be careful not to admire the things the host owns, because he or she’ll feel necessary to give an item to you as a gift.”可知，在这两个国家的文化中都提到了打招呼、到达时间、送礼物和着装。故选D。 5．主旨大意题。根据“International travel is popular, but visitors can run into trouble if they don’t know some basic “rules”. So, it’s important to learn about the cultures they’re visiting.”据此判断作者写这篇文章的目的是为游客介绍不同文化的一些基本规则。故选B。 6．推理判断题。根据“International travel is popular, but visitors can run into trouble if they don’t know some basic “rules”. So, it’s important to learn about the cultures they’re visiting.”可知，这篇文章的目的是为游客介绍不同文化的一些基本规则。因此这篇文章很可能来自一本旅游杂志。故选A。 Passage 2 While good grades and test are the basic requirements(要求) for getting into college, after-school activities are becoming more important in the college selection process(选拔过程) in the US. As entrance into college has become more difficult, colleges have looked more at what skills you have. Taking part in after-school activities is a great way. High School Clubs Most high schools offer a lot of clubs and activities, so it is easy to find something that you are interested in. Colleges look for students who will also be active other than test scores.There are many clubs in school, such as the drama(戏剧) club and a book club. You may even be able to find a club related to a future job, such as Future Teachers of America. High School Sports If you want to go to college and want to take part in sports at a college level, then this fact just might give you a chance. It is a good idea to focus on one single sport. If you want to study in a college on sportsandneed the college scholarships(奖学金), it would be better if you decide which sport to do. In this way, you will have enough time to build your skills. High School Publications(出版物) Another smart way to be active in high school and show colleges that you are interested in activities more than academics(学术) is to be a part of your school newspaper or magazine. There may be an actual class you can join or you may join a club. Being in high school publications can be very helpful if you want to major in language or education in college. 7．Now in the US, colleges have focused more on the students’ ________ during the selection process. A．good grades B．family background C．skills D．scholarships 8．After-school activities include all of the following except ________. A．joining a club B．doing a part-time job C．working on school’s newspaper D．taking part in sports 9．Joining a club may help students________. A．learn a language better    . B．get higher scores in school subjects C．make more good friends D．know more about their future jobs 10．Being ________ is important if you want to major in education in college. A．an editor of school newspaper B．a basketball player in school team C．a waiter in the school canteen D．an actor in school drama club 11．This passage is probably written for ________ to read. A．teachers B．students C．parents D．headmasters 12．We can learn from the passage that ________. A．the US colleges prefer to have students who study very hard B．you must take actual classes to be part of school’s newspaper C．being good at sports is considered important in the US college selection D．you can easily find a suitable club to join in every high school in the US 【答案】7．C 8．B 9．D 10．A 11．B 12．C 【详解】这篇短文主要讲述了有好的学习成绩是很有用的，但是现在很多大学都更加关注学生们的技能，作者给了三种提高技能的方式。 7．细节理解。根据文中“after-school activities are becoming more important in the college selection process(选拔过程) in the US. As entrance into college has become more difficult, colleges have looked more at what skills you have.”可知，随着进入大学变得越来越困难，大学更关注你的技能。故选C。 8．推理判断。根据文中“Most high schools offer a lot of clubs and activities,”大多数高中都有很多俱乐部和活动，所以很容易找到你感兴趣的东西。根据文中“It is a good idea to focus on one single sport. If you want to study in a college on sportsandneed the college scholarships(奖学金), it would be better if you decide which sport to do. In this way, you will have enough time to build your skills.” 专注于一项运动是个好主意。如果你想在大学里学习体育，并且需要大学奖学金，那么你最好决定做哪项运动。这样，你就有足够的时间来培养你的技能。根据文中“Another smart way to be active in high school and show colleges that you are interested in activities more than academics(学术) is to be a part of your school newspaper or magazine.” 另一个活跃在高中并向大学表明你对活动比学术更感兴趣的聪明方法是成为学校报纸或杂志的一部分。故ACD是正确的，选项B是错误的。故选B。 9．细节理解。根据文中“You may even be able to find a club related to a future job, such as Future Teachers of America.”可知，你甚至可以找到一个与未来工作相关的俱乐部，比如美国未来的教师。故选D。 10．细节理解。根据文中“There may be an actual class you can join or you may join a club. Being in high school publications can be very helpful if you want to major in language or education in college.” 如果你想在大学主修教育，当校报编辑是很重要的。可知，故选A。 11．推理判断。这篇短文主要讲述了有好的学习成绩是很有用的，但是现在很多大学都更加关注学生们的技能，作者给了三种提高技能的方式。所以这篇文章是写给学生们的。故选B。 12．推理判断。根据文中“If you want to go to college and want to take part in sports at a college level, then this fact just might give you a chance. It is a good idea to focus on one single sport.”可知，在美国的大学选拔中，擅长运动被认为是很重要的。故选C。 【点睛】做题时结合原文和题目有针对性找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确的答案。如第1小题，考查细节理解。根据文中“after-school activities are becoming more important in the college selection process(选拔过程) in the US. As entrance into college has become more difficult, colleges have looked more at what skills you have.”可知，随着进入大学变得越来越困难，大学更关注你的技能。故选C。 Passage 3 Would you like to adopt an animal? Although this sounds very unusual, some children have done just this. The Natural Zoo has given people the chance to adopt animals by paying for all of its food for one year. One of the animals that needed parents was a young tiger named Brocky. The people at the zoo said that it would cost about $900 a year for the food for Brocky. Not many boys and girls have $900 to spend. That is why several hundred children and grown-ups each have sent a little money to the zoo to help pay for Brocky’s food. Some children sent in only a quarter because that was all the money they had. Other children sent in more money than that. Since so many people sent money to the zoo to help pay for Brocky’s food, he now will be able to eat as much as he wants. Brocky surely must be a happy tiger to know that he has so many adopted parents. Many children must also be happy to know that they have helped to feed him. It really will be cool for those children to go to the Natural Zoo to visit their adopted tiger Brocky. 13．Brocky is ________. A．an animal zoo B．an adopted child C．a tiger without children’s love D．a tiger in need of adoption 14．Several hundred people give money to the zoo to help Brocky because ________. A．its food is too expensive for one person to afford B．people don’t want to spend too much money on Brocky C．people don’t love Brocky enough D．the zoo forces them to do so 15．Children will be ________ if they go to the zoo to visit the tiger Brocky. A．frightened B．excited and happy C．nervous D．surprised 16．With so many people’s money, Brocky now can ________. A．play with many toys B．live without being hungry C．eat meat every day D．have an air-conditioned room to live in 17．We can infer (推断) from the passage that ________. A．zoos are too poor to feed the animals B．there are too many animals in the zoo C．many people are kind to animals D．children love animals better than adults do 18．The underlined word “adopt” probably means “________”. A．choose and raise B．look after C．buy D．give a name 【答案】13．D 14．A 15．B 16．B 17．C 18．A 【详解】本文主要介绍了人们在自然动物园通过支付一年的所有食物费用，可以有机会“收养”动物。 13．细节理解题。根据“One of the animals that needed parents was a young tiger named Brocky.”可知，Brocky是一只需要养育的小老虎。故选D。 14．细节理解题。根据“The people at the zoo said that it would cost about $900 a year for the food for Brocky.

The truth about the world The truth is that we are lucky enough to have clean water whenever we want, but this is not the case for many people around the world. Did you know that around 750 million people do not have clean water to drink? That’s around 1 in 10 people in the world. But what does this mean? If we drink dirty water, we can catch diseases from the bacteria (细菌) and become ill. Every year over 500,000 children die from dirty water. That’s around 1,400 children every day! In Ghana, 85% of all disease are from dirty water, and in Nicaragua, 75% of the people don’t have clean drinking water. Also, in some countries children walk many kilometers every day to get water, they can’t go to school so they don’t learn how to read and write and don’t get an education. Water for everyone In 1993 the United Nations decided that March 22nd is the World Day for Water. On this day every year, countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water. People organize events to raise money. For World Water Day, some people in the UK walk, run or cycle 10 km, others climb mountains or even jump from an aeroplane and skydive to the ground. At one school, children between the ages of 10 and 15 walk 6 km with 6 litres of water, so they can see how it feels to walk along distance carrying heavy bottles of water. People give them money to do these things and all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world. 19．The passage is mainly about _________. A．water festival B．World Earth Day C．drinking water around the world D．how to save water 20．All over the world, _________ of the people can’t have clean drinking water.

I’ve been a taxi driver for about five years. Before that I was a bus driver in London, and I enjoyed it, but I wanted more freedom so I changed and started driving my taxi. Q: Have you ever had any famous passengers? Oh yes. I’ve had film stars, politicians, you know, lots of famous people. About a year ago, a really famous actor got in my taxi. I took him to the airport. We were stuck on the way and it took a long time to get there, so he missed his plane and failed to meet his fans. It wasn’t my fault but when he got out of the taxi, he shouted at me angrily! I said to him, “Next time, take a bus!” Q: Have passengers ever left anything in your taxi? Oh yes! People have left all kinds of things — a suitcase, a hat, mobile phones, of course, even a dog once! Years ago, a woman left a pair of shoes on the seat. And one time a passenger left his teeth here! Not real teeth, of course — false teeth. And people have asked me to do some strange jobs. Once a doctor stopped me outside a hospital and asked me to take a skeleton to another hospital. Professors usually use skeletons to teach medical students, you know. And I did. But I asked him to pay first — the skeleton couldn’t pay, after all! Q: 5 Good question. I’ve always enjoyed being a taxi driver and I don’t want to change. But of course, sometimes, it’s not great. I don’t like driving around without a passenger, but it’s better than just waiting at the airport or at a railway station.

And it’s not just Western culture that has done this. Cultures in Japan, China, India, and Africa have done the same thing, but for different reasons. Let’s take a look at some commonly known lucky and unlucky numbers to see why they are loved or hated. Everyone knows that “7” is lucky. But 53 ? The root of most lucky numbers can be found in religion. God, for example, is said to have created the world in 7 days. Until the 1800s, there were seven known planets in the solar system（太阳系）. Seven is even the usual number of spots on a ladybug and ladybugs are considered good luck themselves. “4” means bad luck in Asia. For example, the 54 of “4” in Chinese is very similar to the word “death”. And because of this, “4” has been considered bad luck in China. “666” is a 55 number. It is extremely bad luck in Western culture but very good luck in many Asian countries. 56 the Christian Bible（圣经）, the number 666 means Satan（撒旦，魔鬼）. It might be the most avoided number in Western culture. For example, there used to be US Highway 666 in New Mexico, but in 2003 it was changed to US Highway 491 because the government was afraid that the number would scare tourists away. Another example is that Ronald Reagan, 40th President of the United States, changed the 57 666 St. Cloud Road, Bel Air to 668 St. Cloud Road, Bel Air before moving in. But in Asia, people love “666” because it 58 “things going smoothly”, and is considered to be very lucky. 53．A．when B．how C．why D．where 54．A．meaning B．pronunciation C．spelling D．writing 55．A．different B．boring C．difficult D．interesting 56．A．Because of B．According to C．Thanks to D．With the help of 57．A．address B．road C．phone number D．location 58．A．sounds like B．looks like C．feels like D．seems like 【答案】53．C 54．B 55．A 56．B 57．A 58．A 【详解】文章主要介绍了在不同文化中一些常见的吉利数字和不吉利数字，以及它们被人们喜欢或讨厌的原因。 53．句意：但为什么呢？ when什么时候；how如何，怎样；why为什么；where哪里。根据“The root of most lucky numbers can be found in religion...”可知，后面在陈述原因。故选C。 54．句意：例如，中文中“4”的发音与“死”非常相似。 meaning意思；pronunciation发音；spelling拼写；writing写。根据“of ‘4’ in Chinese is very similar to the word ‘death’”和常识可知，中文中“4”的发音与“死”很相似。故选B。 55．句意：“666”是一个不同的数字。 different不同的；boring无聊的；difficult困难的；interesting有趣的。根据“a”可知，其后应接以辅音音素开头的单词，排除选项D。根据“It is extremely bad luck in Western culture but very good luck in many Asian countries”可知，它是一个不同的数字。故选A。 56．句意：依据《圣经》，数字666代表撒旦。 Because of因为；According to依据，根据；Thanks to多亏；With the help of在……的帮助下。根据“the Christian Bible（圣经）, the number 666 means Satan（撒旦，魔鬼）”可知，是依据《圣经》中的描述。故选B。 57．句意：另一个例子是，美国第40任总统罗纳德·里根在搬进来之前，将地址从贝莱尔圣云路666号改为贝莱尔圣云路668号。 address地址；road路；phone number电话号码；location位置。根据“666 St. Cloud Road, Bel Air to 668 St. Cloud Road, Bel Air before moving in”可知，是搬进来之前，改了地址。故选A。 58．句意：但在亚洲，人们喜欢“666”，因为它听起来像“一切顺利”，被认为是非常幸运的。 sounds like听起来像；looks like看起来像；feels like感觉像；seems like好像。根据“‘things going smoothly’”可知，“666”是听起来像一切进展顺利。故选A。 Cloze 3 Have you ever wondered why you sometimes end up with 10 mosquito (蚊子) bites in a single night, while your friend sleeping in the same room doesn’t? Scientists have 59 that 85 percent of our tendency (倾向性) to mosquito bites is down to our genes. Certain chemicals in our bodies can also attract mosquitoes. Mosquitoes have even developed a 60 sense of smell to pick out their favourite blood. Jerry Butler, a scientist from the University of Florida, explains, “One in ten people is highly attractive to mosquitoes.” According to Butler’s study, mosquitoes cannot create their own cholesterol (胆固醇) and B vitamins, 61 they look for people who are rich in those things. Mosquitoes are also attracted to certain acids (酸性物质) produced on the skin during sweating. 62 this, they can smell CO2, in human breath from far away. Larger people often 63 more CO2 , which may be why mosquitoes often prefer adults to small children. Pregnant (怀孕的) women are also 64 bitten, as their breath contains increased levels of CO2 .

Texas has a land area of more than 678,000 square kilometers. So it might be difficult to imagine anything twice as big. All together, this mass of waste flowing in the North Pacific Ocean is known as the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. It 71 about 3,500,000 tons. The waste includes bags, bottles and containers — plastic products of all kinds. The eastern part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is about 1,600 kilometers west of California. The western part is west of the Hawaiian Islands and east of Japan. The area has been 72 a kind of oceanic desert, with light winds and slow moving water currents. The water moves so slow that garbage from all over the world 73 there. In recent years, there have been growing concerns (担心) about the floating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste, resulting in death or 74 . Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces of plastic. The trash can also make animals feel full, lessening their desire to eat or drink. The floating garbage also can have 75 effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection (感染) of disease from polluted waste, and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers can also get trapped in the plastic. Its existence first gained public attention in 1997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer (海洋学家) Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier, 76 oceanographer learned of the trash after a shipment of rubber duckies got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. In August, 2009, a team from the University of California, San Diego became the latest group to travel to it. They were 77 by the amount of waste they saw. They gathered hundreds of sea creatures and water samples to measure the garbage patch’s effect on ocean environment. 71．A．works B．weighs C．contains D．consists 72．A．the same as B．known as C．described as D．named as 73．A．crosses B．collects C．begins D．brushes 74．A．injury B．impression C．health D．hopes 75．A．helpless B．helpful C．harmless D．harmful 76．A．other B．another C．others D．that 77．A．amazing B．amused C．shocked D．interested 【答案】71．B 72．C 73．B 74．A 75．D 76．B 77．C 【详解】本文叙述了得克萨斯州有大量的垃圾漂浮物，数量竟然是它的州面积的两倍。这些垃圾漂流物是塑料制品，这些受污染的塑料制品会通过食物链来影响人类，它们也会对海洋中的生物以及人类的健康有影响。 71．句意：它重约350万吨。 works工作；weighs重；contains包含；consists由……构成。 根据“about 3,500,000 tons”可知，此处指重量，故选B。 72．句意：该地区被描述成一种海洋沙漠，有微风和缓慢移动的水流。 be the same as与……一样；be known as以……著称；be described as被描述成……；be named as被命名为。 根据“a kind of oceanic desert, with light winds and slow moving water currents. ”可知，后文是对该区域的描述，故选C。 73．句意：水流非常缓慢，世界各地的垃圾都聚集在那里。 crosses穿越；collects使聚集；begins开始；brushes刷。根据“The water moves so slow that garbage from all over the world...there.”可知，水流很慢，所以导致的结果是所有的垃圾会聚集在那里，故选B。 74．句意：科学家表示，成千上万的动物被困在漂浮的废物中，导致死亡或受伤。 injury伤害；impression印象；health健康；hopes希望。根据“thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste”可知，动物被困在漂浮的废物中，所以推断会导致动物受伤害，故选A。 75．句意：漂浮的垃圾也会对人产生有害影响。 helpless无助的；helpful有帮助的，有用的；harmless无害的；harmful有害的。根据下文“There is an increased threat of infection (感染) of disease from polluted waste, and from eating fish that swallowed waste.

It hopes to reduce students’ learning burden（负担） by reducing homework and after-school classes. Several months have passed since then. How do students feel about this new policy? “Our homework is clearly less than before,” said 13-year-old Shen Yuzhe from Beijing. “We are not encouraged to buy workbooks anymore.” According to him, teachers now teach at a much slower pace. Students have enough time to process new knowledge. For 13-year-old Zhang Hangming from Tianjin, the best thing about “double reduction” is the increased time in after-school activities. “We can now spend more time taking part in clubs and activities, such as dancing, volleyball and drama. I have joined a group called ‘leadership development’ where I can learn all kinds of skills beyond school study,” said Zhang. Both Shen and Zhang find there are fewer exams now. But they think it’s not necessarily a good thing. “Exams push me to study harder. Each exam shows my progress as well as my weak points,” Zhang said. Shen also pointed out that when burden is lightened, self-discipline（自律）becomes the key. “Some students now spend more time having fun when homework is finished early. But if you use all the free time to relax, you might fall behind your peers（同龄人）,” he said. 90．Why does the government introduce the “double reduced” policy? 91．What is the best thing the “double reduced” policy bring to Zhang Hangming? 92．Who thinks fewer exams are good for students, Zhang Hangming or Shen Yuzhe? 93．What does Shen Yuzhe think will happen when a student spends all his free time relaxing? 94．Is the “double reduced” policy a good thing to you? Why or Why not? 【答案】90．Because it hopes to reduce students’ learning burden by reducing homework and after-school classes./To reduce students’ learning burden. 91．The increased time in after-school activities. 92．Neither. 93．He will fall behind his peers. 94．Yes, it is. Because I have more free time to do things I like./No, it isn’t. Because with fewer exams, my progress or weak points can’t be shown. 【详解】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了自“双减”政策落地以来，各地学生对此政策的不同看法。 90．根据“It hopes to reduce students’ learning burden（负担） by reducing homework and after-school classes.”可知因为政府希望能通过减少作业和课后辅导班的课程来减轻学生的学习负担。故填Because it hopes to reduce students’ learning burden by reducing homework and after-school classes. /To reduce students’ learning burden. 91．根据“For 13-year-old Zhang Hangming from Tianjin, the best thing about “double reduction” is the increased time in after-school activities.”可知对于来自天津的13岁的Zhang Hangming来说，关于“双减”最好的事情是课后活动时间的增加。故填The increased time in after-school activities. 92．根据“Both Shen and Zhang find there are fewer exams now. But they think it’s not necessarily a good thing.”可知Shen和Zhang都发现现在的考试更少了，但他们都认为这不一定是件好事。故填Neither. 93．根据“But if you use all the free time to relax, you might fall behind your peers（同龄人）”可知Shen Yuzhe认为如果你把所有的空余时间都用来放松，那你可能会落后于同龄人。故填He will fall behind his peers. 94．该题为开放性题目，答案合理即可。如果持肯定态度，可回答：是的。因为我有更多的时候可以做我喜欢做的事情。如果持否定态度，可回答：不。因为越少考试，我的进步或者弱项就不会显示出来。故填Yes, it is. Because I have more free time to do things I like./No, it isn’t. Because with fewer exams, my progress or weak points can’t be shown. Passage 2 Laura Berner grew up in the mountains in Bavaria, Germany. “I remember as a child looking up into the sky and watching eagles fly over the valley where I lived,” she says. “That’s when I first decided that I’d love to leap into the air and feel the wind lift me off my feet.” Laura had her first paragliding lesson when she was sixteen, and fell in love with the sport. “You run down a mountain slope, the wind catches your wing, and then you’re flying like a bird. It feels great. The views of the mountains from up there are fantastic.” Laura’s husband Martin had never tried paragliding, but he was crazy about skiing. It seemed like a good idea for Laura and Martin to try each other’s hobbies. He taught her how to ski and she showed him how to paraglide. When each of them had learned how to do the other sport well, they decided to combine (融合) them and try paraskiing. “It’s like paragliding, but you’re wearing skis,” says Martin. “When you land, you have to start skiing immediately, or you will drop down in the snow. You have to be a good skier.” In the past, Laura mostly did her hobby in the summer and Martin could only do his in the winter. Now they spend every winter weekend gliding over the valleys together, then skiing down the slopes of a snow-covered mountain. And in the summer they both do normal paragliding. “It’s more fun doing our hobbies together,” says Laura. “Now we can both really enjoy the summer and the winter!” 95．Did Laura want to leap into the air like an eagle when she was a child? 96．When did Laura start to be keen on paragliding? 97．Why does Laura like paragliding? 98．How did Laura and Martin combine the two sports? 99．Is it more interesting or less for Laura and Martin to do their hobbies together? 100．Would you like to try paraskiing? Why? 【答案】95．Yes, she did. 96．When she was sixteen/16. 97．Because it feels great and the views of the monutains from up there are fantastic. 98．They wear skis to paraglide. When they land, they have to start skiing immediately. 99．It is more interesting. 100．Yes, I’d like to.

My little sister needed special medicine. She wasn’t the only kid in Flint who got so sick. Some people suffered from bad headaches. Others had stomachache. Across the city, people complained that something was seriously wrong with their tap water. Our water was polluted. We couldn’t drink or cook with the water from our tap. We had to use bottled water for drinking, cooking, and brushing our teeth. The only safe way to take baths was to heat up water from bottles. In 2015, when I was 8 years old, I decided to speak up for the people of Flint. I wrote a letter to then-president Barack Obama to ask him for help. In response, he came to speak with our community. I got to meet him. But I wanted to do more. My friends and family helped me start a campaign for Flint. Our goal was to raise S15,000. So far, we’ve collected $280,000! For the past few years, I’ve been giving out bottles of water and new water filters (过滤器) to people in my city. Many people in Flint still can’t use their tap water. I’ve also used social media to ask people around the world for help. I have more than 100,000 followers on the Internet, including famous people and regular people from different countries. Most people now know me as Little Miss Flint. I’m proud that I am able to help my neighbors get clean water. I’ll continue until I help every single Flint citizen feel safe drinking the water from their taps. People should realize that Flint isn’t the only place with water issues. It’s important for us all to ask questions about what’s in the water at school and at home. My goal is to run for U.S. president in 2044 — as soon as I’m old enough. But you don’t have to be an adult to change the world. It starts with helping out in your own community. You have a voice and the ability to make that voice heard.

But instead of playing it safe, the 18-year-old skier pushed herself to the limit. On the last jump, Gu decided to try a more difficult trick (动作). “I’m an 18-year-old girl living my best life. I’m having a great time” Gu said. “It doesn’t really matter whether other people are happy or not, because I feel I’m doing my best and I’m enjoying the whole process.” Gu’s good friend, Chinese snowboarder Su Yiming also shares a similar attitude. He takes sports as a way to have fun. The 17-year-old boy didn’t feel upset when he was judged to have lost the gold. Instead, he enjoyed the chance to compete with his idol, the Canadian athlete Max Parrot. “On the podium (领奖台), when my idol hugged me tightly, I was satisfied. All I did today was enjoying the competition and focusing on my tricks. As long as I am on my snowboard, I am delighted.” Su said. This is the young generation that not only dares to push the limits but also enjoys life. 107．How old was Gu Ailing when she took part in the Beijing Winter Olympics?   108．Gu Ailing could get a medal after the first two jumps, couldn’t she?   109．What did Gu Ailing do on the last jump?   110．How did Su Yiming probably feel when he had the chance to compete with his idol?   111．What did the Canadian athlete Max Parrot do on the podium?   112．Why do we call the athletes the “golden generation”?   【答案】107．18. 108．Yes, she could. 109．She decided to try a more difficult trick. 110．He was happy. 111．He hugged Su tightly. 112．Because the young generation  not only dares to push the limits but also enjoys life. 【详解】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要通过运动员谷爱凌和苏翊鸣的事例，展现了中国的年轻一代敢于挑战极限，但也享受生活的精神面貌。 107．根据“But instead of playing it safe, the 18-year-old skier pushed herself to the limit.”可知这位18岁的滑雪者并没有一味追求安全，而是将自己推向了极限。故填18. 108．根据“After she finished strong in the first two jumps in the women’s freeski Big Air event, it was certain that she could get a medal.”可知她在女子自由滑雪大跳越项目的前两跳中表现出色后，已经肯定能获得奖牌。故填Yes, she could. 109．根据“On the last jump, Gu decided to try a more difficult trick”可知在最后一跳中，谷爱凌决定试试更难的技巧。故填She decided to try a more difficult trick. 110．根据“The 17-year-old boy didn’t feel upset when he was judged to have lost the gold.

Passage 5 Read the passage and answer the following questions.（阅读短文，回答问题） School tests can be stressful. But they might also encourage you to help change the world. Three girls, Kristen, Jenna and Marisa from New York, learned about a growing problem from a reading test they took. The problem is e-waste, short for electronic waste (电子垃圾). The girls learned that some dangerous chemicals in e-waste can damage the environment and people. Afterwards, they had to come up with an idea for a science project. They remembered the interesting topic from their test. So the girls started a recycling drive to help other students and the community learn about properly (合理地) recycling e-waste. They called themselves the E-Waste Girls. They put recycling boxes in the school hall and asked the students to collect old cell phones, radios and other items. When the boxes were full, they sent them to a special recycling center. The recyclers took out the dangerous chemicals and disposed of (处理) them properly, so that they don’t go into the air or the ground or the water. One big way people can help reduce e-waste is to buy smartly. So the girls strongly advised people to consider electronics made with fewer dangerous chemicals and choose electronics that will last several years. The girls’ project also helped them become finalists (决赛选手) in the We Can Change the World Challenge, a national student competition.
