Every school day, we use schoolbags to carry all of our things to school. They are a big part of our lives. But have you ever thought about the history of the schoolbag?
In the Han Dynasty (汉朝) students in old-style private schools used bamboo boxes to carry books to school. People consider the bamboo boxes to be the earliest schoolbags. They were usually two or three layers (层) in the box. Kids put different things like books, brushes, ink stones (砚) and paper in the boxes.
Hundreds of years later, people developed a new kind of schoolbag called the budai, or the "hip-pocket". The budai was lighter than the bamboo box. With the founding (成立) of the People's Republic of China, military rucksacks (军用帆布包) became popular. Many people carried them when they were in school. Ask your grandparents or parents about these bags. Maybe they can tell you about their experiences of carrying them when they were in school.
A new style of schoolbags has appeared in recent years. Many of them have colorful and fashionable designs (时尚的设计) on them, such as pictures of cartoons or pop stars. And they are more comfortable to use. Some students pull wheeled bags filled with heavy textbooks and others carry backpacks.
Schoolbags are still changing. Can you imagine what future schoolbags will be like?

You don’ t have to be a scientist to solve big environmental problems. One Dutch designer is finding creative ways to make a change—and he’s inviting bikers to join him.
Daan Roosgaarde, 38, is a designer from Holland. He uses creative ideas to improve city life. For his Smog (雾霾) Free Project, he designed a special tower that cleans air in Chinese parks. In
Holland, he designed a shining bicycle path.
Now Daan and his team are working with engineers at Chinese bike-sharing company to create a new product for public use. It’s an air-cleaning machine connected to a bicycle and is part of the Smog Free Project. In smoggy weather, the machine would breathe in the air in front of the bike and blow out a stream of clean air toward the biker’s face.
It’s no secret that air pollution is a big problem for China. In winter, it’s common for thick clouds of haze (霾), caused largely by factory production, burning of coal and car emissions (排放物), to cover areas of China.
In 2016, only one-fourth of Chinese cities met the country’s air quality standards, according to a survey of 338 cities nationwide from the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
“Of course one tower and a few bikes won’t solve China’s air pollution problem,” Daan said, “But smog-free bikes are an exciting idea that will hopefully inspire communities to create greener cities.”
31. According to the writer, _ .
A. air pollution is not a big problem in China
B. creative ideas may help improve city life
C. only scientists can solve big environmental problems
D. the survey of 338 cities nationwide was not necessary
32. The air-cleaning machine offers clean air to the biker by .
A. blowing out dirty air
B. running fast with the bike
C. cleaning the air around the biker
D. breathing in dirty air and cleaning it
33. From the passage, we know that .
A. people who have creative ideas can get free bikes
B. only smog-free bikes can go on the shining bicycle path
C. Daan and his family spent all their time improving China’s air quality
D. China’s haze in winter happens because of more than three causes
34. Daan is inviting bikers to join him in order to .
A. raise money for the tower
B. test his new machine
C. help solve the air pollution problem
D. make more Chinese friends
35. What is the best title for the passage'?
A. Breathing In and Out
B. Biking for Fresh Air
C. Survey from the Government
D. China’s Air Pollution Problem

The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in a town of Seattle, Washington, in the United States. It was a small coffee shop that cooked its own coffee beans. The coffee shop’s business did well, and by 1981 there were three more Starbucks stores in Seattle and they joined into a small company.
Things really began to change for the company in 1981. That year. Howard Schultz met the three men who run (经营) Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen instrument. He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers, and he was interested in the company. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did and he liked what he saw. He wanted to become part of the company. In 1982, the original (原先的) Starbucks owners chose Schultz as the company‘s head of marketing.
In 1983, Schultz travelled to Italy. The special atmosphere (氛围) of the coffee bars there caught his eye. To Schultz, it seemed that Italians spent their daily lives in three places: home, work, and coffee bars. His experience in Italy gave Schultz a new idea for Starbucks back in Seattle.
Schultz created an atmosphere for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Between 1987 and 1992, Starbucks opened 150 new stores-and that was only the beginning. In fact, by the year 2000, three new Starbucks stores opened somewhere around the world every day!
Today, Starbucks has thousands of stores, including stores in twenty-six countries. One thing that helps make Starbucks succeed in cities outside the United States is the way Starbucks works with local stores and restaurants. By working together with a store already in the city, Starbucks gets an understanding of customers in the city. This understanding helps Starbucks open stores in the right places for their customers.
36. Which is true about Starbucks’ first ten years of business?
A. It grew very quickly. B. It was run by Howard Schultz.
C. It made special coffee makers. D. It was a small company.
37. Who is Howard Schultz?
A. A coffee seller in New York.
B. An Italian coffee maker.
C. The man who developed the company.
D. One of the original owners of the company.
38. How many new Starbucks stores probably opened in the year 2000 around the world?
A. 3. B. About 1095. C. Two thousand. D. Thirty-six.
39. What helps Starbucks succeed in places outside the United States?
A. Opening restaurants in just a few locations each year.
B. Only selling locally produced coffee beans.
C. Working with other major coffee-making companies.
D. Learning about local customers.
40. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. How Starbucks has grown B. What Starbucks makes.
C. Starbucks’customers. D. How Starbucks makes its coffee.

Every school day, we use schoolbags to carry all of our things to school. They are a big part of our lives. But have you ever thought about the history of the schoolbag?
In the Han Dynasty (汉朝), students in old-style private schools used bamboo boxes to carry books to school. People consider the bamboo boxes to be the earliest schoolbags. They were usually two or three layers (层) in the box. Kids put different things like books, brushes, ink stones (砚) and paper in the boxes.
Hundreds of years later, people developed a new kind of schoolbag called the budai, or the "hip-pocket". The budai was lighter than the bamboo box. With the founding (成立) of the People's Republic of China, military rucksacks (军用帆布包) became popular. Many people carried them when they were in school. Ask your grandparents or parents about these bags. Maybe they can tell you about their experiences of carrying them when they were in school.
A new style of schoolbags has appeared in recent years. Many of them have colorful and fashionable designs (时尚的设计) on them, such as pictures of cartoons or pop stars. And they are more comfortable to use. Some students pull wheeled bags filled with heavy textbooks and others carry backpacks.
Schoolbags are still changing. Can you imagine what future schoolbags will be like?

You don’ t have to be a scientist to solve big environmental problems. One Dutch designer is finding creative ways to make a change—and he’s inviting bikers to join him.
Daan Roosgaarde, 38, is a designer from Holland. He uses creative ideas to improve city life. For his Smog (雾霾) Free Project, he designed a special tower that cleans air in Chinese parks. In
Holland, he designed a shining bicycle path.
Now Daan and his team are working with engineers at Chinese bike-sharing company to create a new product for public use. It’s an air-cleaning machine connected to a bicycle and is part of the Smog Free Project. In smoggy weather, the machine would breathe in the air in front of the bike and blow out a stream of clean air toward the biker’s face.
It’s no secret that air pollution is a big problem for China. In winter, it’s common for thick clouds of haze (霾), caused largely by factory production, burning of coal and car emissions (排放物), to cover areas of China.
In 2016 only one-fourth of Chinese cities met the country’s air quality standards, according to a survey of 338 cities nationwide from the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
“Of course one tower and a few bikes won’t solve China’s air pollution problem,” Daan said, “But smog-free bikes are an exciting idea that will hopefully inspire communities to create greener cities.”

A. air pollution is not a big problem in China
B. creative ideas may help improve city life

A. people who have creative ideas can get free bikes
B only smog-free bikes can go on the shining bicycle path
C. Daan and his family spent all their time improving China’s air quality
D. China’s haze in winter happens because of more than three causes
34. Daan is inviting bikers to join him in order to .
A. raise money for the tower
B. test his new machine
C. help solve the air pollution problem
D. make more Chinese friends

The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in a town of Seattle, Washington, in the United States. It was a small coffee shop that cooked its own coffee beans. The coffee shop’s business did well, and by 1981 there were three more Starbucks stores in Seattle and they joined into a small company.
Things really began to change for the company in 1981. That year. Howard Schultz met the three men who run (经营) Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen instrument. He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers, and he was interested in the company. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did and he liked what he saw. He wanted to become part of the company. In 1982, the original (原先的) Starbucks owners chose Schultz as the company‘s head of marketing.
In 1983, Schultz travelled to Italy. The special atmosphere (氛围) of the coffee bars there caught his eye. To Schultz, it seemed that Italians spent their daily lives in three places: home, work, and coffee bars. His experience in Italy gave Schultz a new idea for Starbucks back in Seattle.
Schultz created an atmosphere for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Between 1987 and 1992, Starbucks opened 150 new stores-and that was only the beginning. In fact, by the year 2000, three new Starbucks stores opened somewhere around the world every day!
Today, Starbucks has thousands of stores, including stores in twenty-six countries. One thing that helps make Starbucks succeed in cities outside the United States is the way Starbucks works with local stores and restaurants. By working together with a store already in the city, Starbucks gets an understanding of customers in the city. This understanding helps Starbucks open stores in the right places for their customers.

C. The man who developed the company.
D. One of the original owners of the company.

A. 3. B. About 1095. C. Two thousand. D. Thirty-six.
39. What helps Starbucks succeed in places outside the United States?
A. Opening restaurants in just a few locations each year.
B. Only selling locally produced coffee beans.
C. Working with other major coffee-making companies.
D. Learning about local customers.
40. What is the main idea of this passage?

【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了英国著名发明家詹姆斯·戴森的发明经历,特别是他发明无袋真空吸尘器的过程和成功之路。
【41题详解】
句意:它在1978年被发明。主语it与谓语invent之间是动宾关系,且由“ in 1978”可知,用一般过去时的被动语态(was/were done),主语第三人称单数,所以用was,invent变成invented。故填was invented。
【42题详解】
句意:我当时感到非常兴奋。excite是动词,需用形容词excited表示“兴奋的”,修饰人,在句中作表语。故填excited。
【43题详解】
句意:起初,他不是一个发明家。此处指泛指“一名发明家”,且inventor是以元音音素开头的单词,前面用不定冠词an。故填an。
【44题详解】
句意:后来,他发现了自己的天赋。根据“At first, he wasn’t ”可知,时态是一般过去时,所以空处需用动词discover的过去式discovered。故填discovered。
【45题详解】
句意:他在制作新东西方面做得很好。固定搭配do well in表示“在……方面做得好”。故填in。
【46题详解】
句意:1975年,他发明了自己的产品——海上卡车。根据“invented his own...”可知,发明的应是产品,此处需用produce的名词product表示“产品”。此处用单数名词。故填product。
【47题详解】
句意:但后来,戴森离开了他的公司,因为他不同意他的合伙人理念。空后“ he didn’t agree with his partners”是解释他离开的原因,所以用连词because“因为”连接。故填because。
【48题详解】
句意:1985年,戴森把他的发明带到日本去销售。不定式符号to后跟动词原形构成不定式结构,作目的状语。故填sell。
【49题详解】
句意:几年后,戴森决定自己生产和销售这台机器。by oneself“靠自己”,空处应填he的反身代词himself。故填himself。
【50题详解】
句意:如果你的产品更好,人们就会买。本句是if引导的条件状语从句,主句需用一般将来时(will do)。故填will buy。

【53题详解】
根据上句“The rulers drank chocolate at ceremonies.(统治者在仪式上喝巧克力。)”,结合选项G“即使是玛雅社会中较穷的成员有时也能享用这种饮料”可知,都是在讲巧克力在玛雅社会中的应用,And even将上下文连在一起,故选G。
【54题详解】
根据前一句“ But the cacao plant could not grow in the area where they lived. (但是可可树不能在他们生活的地方生长。)”,因此,他们不得不与其他社会交换可可豆种子。选项E“所以他们不得不与其他社会交换可可种子”符合,前后是因果关系,so起着关键作用,故选E。
【55题详解】
根据上句的“The rich people of Spain first enjoyed the chocolate drink.(西班牙的富人首先喜欢巧克力饮料。)”,再根据本空后句“Nowadays, the English, Dutch and French all plant cacao trees in their own countries.(如今,英国、荷兰和法国都在自己的国家种植可可树。)”,可知从那以后,这种饮料的受欢迎程度已经传遍了整个欧洲。选项F“从那时起,这种饮料就在整个欧洲流行开来”符合,故选F。
