If you are looking for somewhere special to visit in London, we may have the answer for you: Sir John Soane’s Museum. The museum is one of London’s best-kept secrets, and it’s well worth a visit. Sir John, a great architect (建筑师), lived in London during the 18th century (1753—1837), and the amazing thing is that his house is exactly the same as he left it. In fact, visiting the house is just like stepping back in time.
There are three floors which are open to the public. You can start on the first floor. This was Sir John’s work area. You can ask the guards about the paintings on the walls as they tell you something about this family and life. And don’t worry about the guards as they are really nice and helpful. Next, you can go downstairs to the ground floor. Here you can see his rich collection of paintings. For example, there is a series (系列) of interesting paintings about 18th century life in London. Now comes the last part, the underground floor. It’s full of thousands of valuable objects, such as sculptures (雕塑) and models of famous buildings from all over the world. Walking around this part of the house is a bit like being on a treasure hunt, as you can find things hidden away in secret corners. Anyway, you’ll have to go there yourself to see.
Sir John Soane’s Museum is a very small place. It’s only about ten minutes’ walk from the British Museum. There is a free hour-long guided tour every Saturday at 2:30 pm, but the best thing is just to walk about by yourself. So now you know where to go next time you’re in London. We guarantee that it’s an experience you won’t forget!

Today we can do everything with apps. However, when it comes to technology and health care, chances and challenges come together.
Telemedicine can allow a patient to use technology to see the doctor online and get a diagnosis (诊断) and instructions without leaving home. In addition, there are many patient websites. These allow for different kinds of interactions about our health needs without the medical team.
However, every coin has two sides. What might be on the other side of techno-health care?
Firstly, we should think about the health care experience as a whole. A usual visit to a doctor begins with a receptionist (接待员) , who can see and know how a patient is doing. This may influence the treatment effect. It’s impossible that a patient website will have such intuition.
Next, sharing the details of one's life requires trust, which takes time to build. This is certainly true in health care, where patients can share some of life's best and worst moments with doctors. This human touch maybe isn’t there over the smartphone.
Lastly, test results can be difficult to understand. When someone without a medical degree sees a flagged(打记号的) result with no explanation on the website, there's room for all kinds of stories in their minds—and also great worry.
So how does medicine adapt (适应) to the new technology age? Very talented companies are working on it. There is medical equipment (设备) that can be used at home to send necessary signs and heart sounds through telemedicine. It seems likely that some companies will find a way to explain test results.
But what it will not achieve is the warmth of human interaction and touch. Patients often need someone to listen to and care about their journey story, which will never be realized through technology. Technology should be a tool, but depending on it completely will most certainly have unexpected effects. Let's not allow our humanity to be one of them.
1.According to the passage, how does technology help health care?
A.It encourages doctors to share their stories online.
B.It offers the patient a way to get a diagnosis easily.
C.It improves relations between doctors and patients.
D.It provides a chance to build a medical team.
2.The word “intuition” in Paragraph 4 probably means________.
A.an ability to understand B.an interesting experience
C.a chance to win D.a wise decision
3.What do you know about techno-health care from the passage?
A.Patient websites require trust from doctors.
B.Talented companies can give medical advice.
C.Flagged results may cause worry for patients.
D.Medical equipment collects patients’ stories.
4.The writer probably agrees that________.
A.technology can deal with unexpected effects
B.we can depend on techno-health completely
C.it is difficult to adapt to the new technology age
D.techno-health care should consider humanity

A smartphone’s low battery warning is the only warning that most people take seriously. A dead battery doesn’t have to happen to you. Turning off a few features and changing some settings can extend your battery life.
1. Let there be less light
One of the biggest battery drains is your screen, especially for larger smartphones. The longer the screen is on and the brighter it is, the faster your battery goes. Try setting the screen as dark as you can stand it and still read a text. Darkening the screen, by the way, is common among teenagers. But it makes it really hard for Mom and Dad to see what’s showing on their phone.
2. Turn off the signals
Your smartphone does a lot of communicating in the background. They’re checking for things like new emails, text messages, Wi-Fi signals, Bluetooth signals, your location and more.
These activities do burn up your battery life, so you want to turn off whatever you aren’t using. Location Services is another feature that drains your battery. It uses GPS and Wi-Fi to tell apps your location. In your settings, you can find out which apps have access to Location Services and turn them off.
3.Turn off notifications
Another way to improve battery life is to stop the constant flow of notifications and updates from Facebook, email, games, sites and apps. You mobile phone will automatically pick up these notifications when it’s connected to the internet, and they can have a noticeable impact on battery life.
4. Use battery saving mode
For a quick way to extend your battery, simply put your smartphone in Airplane Mode. This shuts down unimportant functions and apps like Wi-Fi, automatic email checking, some updates and more.
If used properly, these tips will improve your battery life up to 30 percent.
5.The underlined word “drains” means ________.
A.lights up B.burns up C.picks up. D.makes up
6.If you want to extend your battery life, you are advised to use a ________ screen.
A.small B.large C.bright D.round
7.We can infer that aged people are likely to ________.
A.email family members B.use Location Services
C.darken the screen D.brighten the screen
8.Which of the following is NOT the way to extend battery life on your phone?
A.Putting the smartphone in Airplane Mode. B.Turning off notifications and updates.
C.Shutting down all apps on smartphones. D.Turning off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals.

Most of us are used to using jet hand dryers (喷射式干手器) in public restrooms. They are surely very convenient — all we need to do is to hold up our hands for a few seconds until they are dry. And more importantly, they’re supposed to be hygienic (卫生的).
However, a new study published in the journal Hospital Infection found that jet hand dryers actually spread more dangerous bacteria (细菌) than paper towels.
In the study, two restrooms in each of three different hospitals in the UK, France and Italy were required to provide both jet air dryers and paper towels for people to use. But on certain days, only either the hand dryer or the paper towel dispenser (自动出纸机) was available to use.
The scientists found that when only the hand dryer was available, the amount of bacteria in the restrooms was 27 times higher than on other days.
According to study leader Mark Wilcox, an expert in medical microbiology at Leeds University, UK, air dryers spread harmful bacteria all over the room. This means that if people use these dryers, they’re more likely to pick up bacteria.
At the same time, however, this raises the question — why the bacteria exists(存在) if people wash their hands after using the restroom.
“The problem starts because some people do not wash their hands properly,” Wilcox told The Telegraph. In other words, poor hand-washing leads to a large amount of bacteria being left on your hands.
9.It was found that the restrooms had more bacteria when __________.
A.only the hand dryer was available to use
B.only paper towels were available to use
C.both the hand dryer and the paper towel dispenser were available to use
D.neither the hand dryer nor the paper towel dispenser were available to use
10.According to the last paragraph, how can we stop bacteria?
A.By only using clean restrooms. B.By not using public restrooms.
C.By using paper towels. D.By washing our hands properly.
11.If we divide the article into three parts, which one can be the best?
A.①/②③④⑤/⑥⑦ B.①/②③/④⑤⑥⑦
C.①/②③④⑤⑥⑦ D.①②/③④⑤⑥⑦
12.What can we infer from the passage??
A.Modern technology causes more problems.
B.Good habits can protect you from danger.
C.It’s common to pick up bacteria public places.
D.Scientists will find a way to improve hand dryers.

Tim Berners-Lee is not the most famous inventor in the world. However, his invention has changed our lives.
He was born in London, England in 1955. When he was a small boy, Tim was interested in playing with electrical things. He studied science at Oxford University. He made his first computer from an old television at the age of 21.
Tim started working on early computers. At that time, they were much bigger than now. He worked in England then Switzerland. Tim was really interested in two things, computers and how the brain works. How could the brain connect so many facts so quickly? He had to work with people all over the world. They shared information about computers. It was hard to manage all the information. He answered the same questions again and again. It took a lot of time. It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information. Tim also forgot things easily. Could a computer work like a brain? Could it “talk” to other computers?
There was an Internet already, but it was difficult to use. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web (WWW) all by himself. This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet. When people wanted to share information with others, they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that.
Tim Berners-Lee doesn't think he did anything special. He says that all of the ideas about the Internet were already there. All he did was to put them together. He says that many other people worked together to make the Internet what it is today.
Most inventors want to become rich. But Tim gave away the World Wide Web for nothing. He now works in America. He helps people share technology and wants the Internet to be free for everyone to use. Maybe he is the most important but least famous inventor in the world today!
13.The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refers to_____________
A.working on early computers B.connecting different facts together
C.travelling to the office in Switzerland D.repeating the answers to the same questions
14.Why is Tim Berners-Lee one of the most important men in the world?
A.He made information sharing on the Internet possible.
B.He made the first computer when he was 21 years old.
C.He helped people understand better how the brain works.
D.He invented the Internet and made it free for everyone to use.
15.In what order did the following events take place?
a. Tim worked in England. b. Tim worked in Switzerland.
c. Tim made his first computer. d. Tim invented the World Wide Web.
e. Tim studied science at Oxford University.
A.c-e-d-a-b B.c-b-a-c-d C.c-d-a-e-b D.e-c-a-b-d
16.What does the writer think of Tim Berners-Lee?
A.He is not famous because he is not rich.
B.He has changed our lives and he is great.
C.He did nothing special but make people a good life.
D.He has made great achievements in memory research.

In many countries, tattoos are in fashion (时尚). On TV you can often see a famous actor or musician with a tattoo on his arm or foot. Many sports players have them, too. In the US, tattoos are very popular. Forty percent of Americans aged between 26 and 40 have a tattoo, and 60 percent of customers in US tattoo parlors are women. These people are often professional people like doctor, teachers and lawyers.
However, tattoos are not modern. In fact, they are very old in human history. For example, archaeologists* found a human in ice from 5,000 years ago. He had 57 tattoos on his back, ankles, legs, knees and feet. Tattoos were used for many different reasons. In ancient Egypt, people got tattoos because they were “beautiful”. But in ancient Rome, tattoos were negative and put on criminals* and prisoners. In India, tattoos were religious *.
In the 16th and 17th century, European sailors arrived on the islands of Polynesia. They saw tattoos for the first time. The people on the islands had tattoos on their shoulders, chests, backs and legs. Often the tattoos were of animals or natural features like a river or a mountain. The European sailors liked them and made their own tattoos, so the idea traveled to Europe. Tattoos in Polynesia are still important today. They show information about a person’s history, their island or their job.
So is there a connection between traditional tattoos and fashionable tattoos? And can you call tattoos a fashion? Chris Rainier is an expert in tattoos and his book Ancient Marks has photos of tattoos from all over the world. He thinks people in modern societies often have tattoos because they are a connection to the traditional world. But tattoos aren’t a fashion like clothes or a haircut because you can’t put them on and take them off again like a jacket or a hat. They are permanent* and for life.
1.When were tattoos brought to Europe?
A.5,000 years ago. B.60 years ago.
C.Until recently. D.In the 16th and 17th century.
2.What does the underlined word “parlors” mean?
A.school. B.stores. C.factories. D.theaters.
3.What’s the Chris’s opinion about tattoos?
A.Tattoos are religious in modern societies. B.Tattoos connect tradition with fashion.
C.Tattoos are a fashion among famous people. D.Tattoos show information about a person’s hobby.
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Tattoos’ History. B.Tattoos in Polynesia.
C.Tattoos on a Human in Ice. D.Tattoos in Fashion and for Life.

Easter Island’s large and mysterious stone statues have made it world famous. These statues, which look like humans with huge stone cylinders balancing on their heads like hats, attract tourists coming from all over the world. The tourists come to see these works of ancient art carved by the early inhabitants of the island. They come to see the mystery that has baffled scientists for decades.
Easter Island is located in a remote part of the South Pacific Ocean about 2,300 miles west of Chile. The island covers just 45 square miles and its Polynesian name is Rapa Nui.
On Easter Sunday, 1722, a Dutch explorer named Jacob Roggeveen was the first European to see Easter Island. The original Polynesian inhabitants of the island arrived centuries earlier. Scientists believe they carved these statues to honor their ancestors.
The rock used for the making of the statues came from Rano Raraku, the extinct volcano that formed the island. The early Polynesians carved the statues within the holes of the volcano using only stone tools. Then they moved these huge statues to various destinations throughout the island. These 600 statues range in height from10-40 feet. Some of them weigh as much as 50 tons. How could the early Polynesians lift hundreds of heavy statues out of the volcano? How did they move them across the island to their various locations? All of these questions, as well as many others, remain unanswered.
The early islanders probably worshiped these eyeless giants until sometime around 1670. In 1680, a war broke out between two groups of islanders. The victors of the war and ancestors of the present inhabitants, broke down many of the statues. In most cases, they broke the necks of the statues.
Now 15 of the statues on Easter Island have been repaired to their original positions on their stone platforms. Even today, using modern tools and machinery, putting up such large statues and balancing cylinders on top of their head present a challenging task.
5.The underlined word “baffled” in the first paragraph means ________.
A.puzzled B.encouraged C.pleased D.troubled
6.What do we know about Easter Island?
A.It is in the center of Chile. B.It is located in the North Pacific Ocean.
C.It was named after a Dutch explorer. D.Europeans landed there after Polynesians.
7.Scientists are still uncertain about ________.
A.why people built the statues B.where people made the statues
C.how people transported the statues D.how many statues there are on the island
8.What could be the best title of the passage?
A.Early history of Easter Island B.Art of carving in Easter Island
C.Mysterious statues in Easter Island D.Easter Island, a must-visit destination

Aren’t mobile phone, e-mail and voice mail supposed to help us communicate more easily? Sadly, that’s not always the case. Take the other day for example: when I was walking through the park with my friend, suddenly his mobile phone rang and he answered it—leaving me alone and cutting our conversation dead! In fact, the park was filled with people talking on their mobile phones. They were passing other people without even looking at them, or stopping to walk their dogs. Clearly, people can use mobile phones everywhere, but they ignore the people around.
Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? New communication technology seems to keep away from each other. With e-mail over the Internet, we can communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With WeChat or QQ, you can have conversations without even meeting that person. Even some food stores are using self-scanners so that you can check yourself out. As the contact between human beings becomes automated, my feeling of being disconnected gets stronger. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not against machines. I also own a mobile phone, a QQ, a WeChat and an e-mail account. Giving them up isn’t a good idea, as they are useful to have around. It’s just that when they keep us away from human contact, I begin to feel sad. Moreover, I find myself answering e-mail instead of talking to people. The technology that was made to help keep us in contact with each other is, in fact, making me feel more lonely.
What is to be done? Well, try to use less technology: no e-mailing people who live nearby, and no letting QQ and WeChat catch you all the time.
9.The purpose of the example in Paragraph 1 is to show that ________.
A.mobile phones bring a lot of convenience to people
B.mobile phones result in ignoring the others around
C.people communicate more easily with mobile phones
D.people are good at using mobile phones in their daily life
10.The underlined word “disconnected” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A.lonely B.satisfied C.stupid D.interested
11.It can be inferred from Passage 2 that ________.
A.technology keeps people busier than before
B.technology is always useful to have around
C.the writer is going to give up the mobile phone
D.the writer would like to contact people face to face
12.Which is the best title of the passage?
A.Technology and Human Life B.The Importance of Technology
C.Technology and Human Contact D.The Development of Technology

With the development of science, more and more students don't like taking notes by hand. They use digital cameras to take notes in class. They think it is easier to take pictures of what their teachers write on the blackboard or record what their teachers say in class. The children might think there are too many notes to take. They are trying to find ways to make things easier, so they use digital cameras. In fact, children are very clever to make use of technology.
But do digital cameras really make taking notes easier?
Not really. You have a lot of things to do before you read notes from digital cameras. To begin with, you have to find a computer. Then you need to copy the pictures into the computer. Next, you have to find a printer to print the pictures. Another thing is that you can't hear the sound from digital cameras clearly because there is usually a lot of noise. You will have to listen to it slowly many times before you understand everything.
In fact, taking notes by hand is really the most effective way. It can help you remember and understand what you are learning. In order to save time, you can choose the most important things or the things you don't understand to write down. You don't have to write down everything.
13.Why do more and more students take notes with digital cameras but not by hand?
A.Because they want to take the right notes. B.Because their teachers want them to do so.
C.Because they want to make taking notes easier. D.Because they always want to try new things.
14.What is the correct order of the following things before students read the notes from their digital cameras?
a. print the pictures b. find a computer
c. copy the pictures into the computer d. take pictures
A.b-c-d-a B.b-c-a-d C.d-a-b-c D.d-b-c-a
15.What does the underlined word "it" in the third paragraph refer to in the article?
A.The sound from the digital cameras. B.The noise.
C.The digital camera. D.The note.
16.What does the writer think is the best way to take notes?
A.By taking pictures of what teachers write on the blackboard in class.
B.By recording what teachers say in class.
C.By using a computer.
D.By taking notes with your hand.
17.Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?
A.You shouldn't be afraid to write down everything.
B.To save time, you should not take notes but memorize what the teachers say.

Do you have a lucky number? What is it? Many people have a special number that they hope will bring them good luck.
In Chinese culture, some numbers are believed to be lucky or unlucky based on the Chinese word that the number sounds similar to.
For example, the word for the number 8 sounds similar to the word for “making a fortune”. So, people consider it a very lucky number. Some people will even spend a lot of money to have 8s in their phone number or on their vehicle license plate (车牌照) number. The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics began at 8:08 pm on Aug 8, 2008.
The number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors of China. There were nine dragons on emperors’ robes (龙袍) and Chinese myth held that the dragon had nine children. The number 9 also stands for “long lasting”. That’s why a man always proposes (求婚) to a woman with 99 or 999 roses.
So what’s an unlucky number in China? One example is 4. Many Chinese people see 4 as an unlucky number because it sounds similar to the character for “death”.
Because of this, many buildings skip (跳过) the fourth floor, and simply call it the fifth floor. In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors numbered with 4, such as 4, 14, 24, 34 and all 40-49 floors. Some buildings also skip the 13th floor, as this is considered an unlucky number in the West. As a result, a building whose highest floor is 50 may have only 35 physical floors.
1.What makes Chinese people believe a number is lucky or unlucky?
A.The shape of the number. B.The sound of the number.
C.The history of the number. D.The spelling of the number.
2.A building whose highest floor is 60 in Hong Kong might only have ________ physical floors if it skips all the unlucky numbers.
A.35 B.44 C.50 D.60
3.If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is best?
(①=Paragraph 1 ②=Para. 2 ③=Para. 3 ④=Para. 4 ⑤=Para. 5 ⑥=Para. 6)
A.①; ②③④; ⑤⑥ B.①②; ③④⑤; ⑥
C.①②; ③④; ⑤⑥ D.①; ②③④; ⑤⑥
4.What is the story mainly about?
A.Lucky and unlucky numbers in Western culture.
B.Meanings of different lucky numbers.
C.Meanings of different unlucky numbers.
D.Lucky and unlucky numbers in Chinese culture.

①As you grow older, you'll be faced with some challenging decisions—like whether to cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard enough. But when other people take part in and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder. People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure.
②Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone's reading it. These are examples of how peers positively influence each other.
③ Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them. Your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.
④ It is tough to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.
⑤You’ve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to “choose your friends wisely”. Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this. If you choose friends who are never absent from class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably won't do these things either, even if other kids do.
⑥If you continue to face peer pressure and you're finding it difficult to deal with, talk to someone you trust. Don't feel guilty(内疚)if you've made a mistake or two.
5.The passage is most probably written for _________.
A.doctors B.parents C.teachers D.students
6.The underlined word "tough" in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _________.
A.wise B.difficult C.helpful D.impolite
7.Which of the following may help deal with peer pressure?
A.Spending more time with classmates. B.Taking up more relaxing hobbies.
C.Choosing friends with no bad habits. D.Helping others who are in trouble.
8.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (P = Paragraph)
A.B.C. D.

When you like your teachers, it's easier to pay attention to their explanations and improve your marks. When you consider your teachers as friends, you'll certainly have more respect for them. When your teachers consider you to be a friend, they'll feel more open in class and that will probably influence the classroom in a positive way. So a good relationship between students and teachers makes the classroom a very pleasant place. Now here are some tips to develop a friendly relationship with your teachers.
If you have any questions about that subject, ask them. Show them that you're interested in their subjects. That will make them notice you. But never ask questions that you already know the answers to. If your teachers realize that you are not asking real questions, they might think that you're not actually trying to learn, but only trying to make an impression (印象).
You may also talk about non-school subjects with your teachers. When you see one of your teachers in the hall, greet him/her and ask if he/she is going to that concert or if he/she has seen that movie. That way you'll show that you consider him/her as a friend.

How are you feeling today? Often when we ask people that question, they reply “not bad”, or “could be worse”. But what would make us feel “perfect”? Maybe we could live better by being healthier, less stressed, more active– but how?
Of course there are many ways for improving our mental health(精神健康状态), but sometimes there are small and simple ways to help improve our health. It’s something the BBC TV program Easy Ways to Live Well has been looking at. It offered several health suggestions. And maybe they could help us.
Firstly, to deal with putting on weight and to cut the calories (热量), the program found the strong smell of peppermint (薄荷) can distract our brain from the food we’re thinking about. That is to say, peppermint can help us give up the idea to have a snack.
If your addiction (上瘾) to your smartphone is getting you down, it’s suggested that turning your phone screen white and black helps you cut down screen time because a black and white screen becomes less pleasant to look at. With recent studies showing our phones can make us 26% less productive and give us less stress.
Imagine a swim in ice-cold water? Well, the BBC program found a daily swim in freezing water gets you used to the stress of doing it and therefore prepares you for other life stresses. And another way to relax is to leave your smartphone at home, lose yourself in a forest, and breathe in the fresh air. Forest bathing is the perfect medicine for the stresses of city life.
In conclusion, whatever way we choose, it seems any change to our lifestyle can help improve our body and mind.
14.What’s the writer’s purpose (目的) in writing the first paragraph?
A.To introduce one of the ways for improving health.
B.To provide readers with more background information.
C.To call on more people to focus on the topic.
D.To draw out the topic of the passage.
15.The underlined word “distract” in Paragraph 3 probably means _______.
A.make something less or smaller in size, amount, price, etc
B.feel uncertain about something and do not know if it is true or possible
C.take someone’s interest away from what they are trying to do
D.like one activity very much and spend as much time doing it as they can
16.It can be inferred (推断) from the passage that _______.
A.forest bathing can help you get away from the stresses of city life
B.making the phone screen colorful helps you free from your your phone
C.swimming in ice-cold water every day can help you eat less
D.smelling peppermint from time to time can make you do your job better
17.Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage?(1=paragraph 1 …)
A. B.
C. D.

If you are looking for somewhere special to visit in London, we may have the answer for you: Sir John Soane’s Museum. The museum is one of London’s best-kept secrets, and it’s well worth a visit. Sir John, a great architect (建筑师), lived in London during the 18th century (1753—1837), and the amazing thing is that his house is exactly the same as he left it. In fact, visiting the house is just like stepping back in time.

You can ask the guards about the paintings on the walls as they tell you something about this family and life. And don’t worry about the guards as they are really nice and helpful. Next, you can go downstairs to the ground floor. Here you can see his rich collection of paintings. For example, there is a series (系列) of interesting paintings about 18th century life in London. Now comes the last part, the underground floor. It’s full of thousands of valuable objects, such as sculptures (雕塑) and models of famous buildings from all over the world. Walking around this part of the house is a bit like being on a treasure hunt, as you can find things hidden away in secret corners. Anyway, you’ll have to go there yourself to see.
Sir John Soane’s Museum is a very small place. It’s only about ten minutes’ walk from the British Museum. There is a free hour-long guided tour every Saturday at 2:30 pm, but the best thing is just to walk about by yourself. So now you know where to go next time you’re in London.

Today we can do everything with apps. However, when it comes to technology and health care, chances and challenges come together.
Telemedicine can allow a patient to use technology to see the doctor online and get a diagnosis (诊断) and instructions without leaving home. In addition, there are many patient websites. These allow for different kinds of interactions about our health needs without the medical team.
However, every coin has two sides. What might be on the other side of techno-health care?
Firstly, we should think about the health care experience as a whole. A usual visit to a doctor begins with a receptionist (接待员) , who can see and know how a patient is doing. This may influence the treatment effect. It’s impossible that a patient website will have such intuition.
Next, sharing the details of one's life requires trust, which takes time to build. This is certainly true in health care, where patients can share some of life's best and worst moments with doctors. This human touch maybe isn’t there over the smartphone.
Lastly, test results can be difficult to understand. When someone without a medical degree sees a flagged(打记号的) result with no explanation on the website, there's room for all kinds of stories in their minds—and also great worry.
So how does medicine adapt (适应) to the new technology age? Very talented companies are working on it. There is medical equipment (设备) that can be used at home to send necessary signs and heart sounds through telemedicine. It seems likely that some companies will find a way to explain test results.
But what it will not achieve is the warmth of human interaction and touch. Patients often need someone to listen to and care about their journey story, which will never be realized through technology. Technology should be a tool, but depending on it completely will most certainly have unexpected effects. Let's not allow our humanity to be one of them.
1.According to the passage, how does technology help health care?
A.It encourages doctors to share their stories online.
B.It offers the patient a way to get a diagnosis easily.
C.It improves relations between doctors and patients.
D.It provides a chance to build a medical team.
2.The word “intuition” in Paragraph 4 probably means________.
A.an ability to understand B.an interesting experience
C.a chance to win D.a wise decision
3.What do you know about techno-health care from the passage?
A.Patient websites require trust from doctors.
B.Talented companies can give medical advice.
C.Flagged results may cause worry for patients.
D.Medical equipment collects patients’ stories.
4.The writer probably agrees that________.
A.technology can deal with unexpected effects
B.we can depend on techno-health completely
C.it is difficult to adapt to the new technology age
D.techno-health care should consider humanity
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.C 4.D
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科技发展给医疗带来的机遇和挑战。
1.细节理解题。根据文中“Telemedicine can allow a patient to use technology to see the doctor online and get a diagnosis (诊断) and instructions without leaving home.”可知,科技允许患者使用科技在线就医并且获得诊断,即它为病人提供了一种容易得到诊断的方法。故选B。
2.词句猜测题。根据前句“A usual visit to a doctor begins with a receptionist (接待员) , who can see and know how a patient is doing.和It’s impossible that a patient website…”可猜测出,下划线单词“intuition”的意思应是“理解能力”。故选A。
3.细节理解题。根据文中“When someone without a medical degree sees a flagged(打记号的) result with no explanation on the website, there's room for all kinds of stories in their minds—and also great worry.”可知,标记的结果可能会引起患者的担忧。故选C。
4.推理判断题。根据文中“Technology should be a tool, but depending on it completely will most certainly have unexpected effects. Let's not allow our humanity to be one of them.”可推理出,作者会同意技术医疗应该考虑人性。故选D。

A smartphone’s low battery warning is the only warning that most people take seriously. A dead battery doesn’t have to happen to you. Turning off a few features and changing some settings can extend your battery life.
1. Let there be less light
One of the biggest battery drains is your screen, especially for larger smartphones. The longer the screen is on and the brighter it is, the faster your battery goes. Try setting the screen as dark as you can stand it and still read a text. Darkening the screen, by the way, is common among teenagers. But it makes it really hard for Mom and Dad to see what’s showing on their phone.
2. Turn off the signals
Your smartphone does a lot of communicating in the background. They’re checking for things like new emails, text messages, Wi-Fi signals, Bluetooth signals, your location and more.
These activities do burn up your battery life, so you want to turn off whatever you aren’t using. Location Services is another feature that drains your battery. It uses GPS and Wi-Fi to tell apps your location. In your settings, you can find out which apps have access to Location Services and turn them off.
3.Turn off notifications
Another way to improve battery life is to stop the constant flow of notifications and updates from Facebook, email, games, sites and apps. You mobile phone will automatically pick up these notifications when it’s connected to the internet, and they can have a noticeable impact on battery life.
4. Use battery saving mode
For a quick way to extend your battery, simply put your smartphone in Airplane Mode. This shuts down unimportant functions and apps like Wi-Fi, automatic email checking, some updates and more.
If used properly, these tips will improve your battery life up to 30 percent.
5.The underlined word “drains” means ________.
A.lights up B.burns up C.picks up. D.makes up
6.If you want to extend your battery life, you are advised to use a ________ screen.
A.small B.large C.bright D.round
7.We can infer that aged people are likely to ________.
A.email family members B.use Location Services
C.darken the screen D.brighten the screen
8.Which of the following is NOT the way to extend battery life on your phone?
A.Putting the smartphone in Airplane Mode. B.Turning off notifications and updates.
C.Shutting down all apps on smartphones. D.Turning off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals.
【答案】5.B 6.A 7.D 8.C
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章大意:智能手机电量不足的警告是大多数人唯一会认真对待的警告,本文介绍了可以通过关闭哪些功能和设置来延长电池寿命。
5.词义猜测题。根据“These activities do burn up your battery life, so you want to turn off whatever you aren’t using”可知,此处是在介绍一些耗尽电池寿命的设置,定位服务就是其中一种,所以drains表示“耗尽”,与“burn up”同义,故选B。
6.细节理解题。根据“The longer the screen is on and the brighter it is, the faster your battery goes”可知,屏幕显示时间越长,屏幕越亮,电池运行的速度就越快,由此可见,小屏幕的电池耗尽就更慢,故选A。
7.推理判断题。根据“Darkening the screen, by the way, is common among teenagers. But it makes it really hard for Mom and Dad to see what’s showing on their phone”可知,在青少年中,屏幕变暗是很常见的,但是爸爸妈妈可能很难看到手机上显示的内容,由此可见,老年人往往会使屏幕变亮,故选D。
8.推理判断题。通读全文可知,文中提到了几种延长电池寿命的方式:设置飞行模式,关闭通知和更新,关掉无线网络和蓝牙设置,C“关闭智能手机上的所有应用程序”是不对的,故选C。

Most of us are used to using jet hand dryers (喷射式干手器) in public restrooms. They are surely very convenient — all we need to do is to hold up our hands for a few seconds until they are dry. And more importantly, they’re supposed to be hygienic (卫生的).
However, a new study published in the journal Hospital Infection found that jet hand dryers actually spread more dangerous bacteria (细菌) than paper towels.
In the study, two restrooms in each of three different hospitals in the UK, France and Italy were required to provide both jet air dryers and paper towels for people to use. But on certain days, only either the hand dryer or the paper towel dispenser (自动出纸机) was available to use.
The scientists found that when only the hand dryer was available, the amount of bacteria in the restrooms was 27 times higher than on other days.
According to study leader Mark Wilcox, an expert in medical microbiology at Leeds University, UK, air dryers spread harmful bacteria all over the room. This means that if people use these dryers, they’re more likely to pick up bacteria.
At the same time, however, this raises the question — why the bacteria exists(存在) if people wash their hands after using the restroom.
“The problem starts because some people do not wash their hands properly,” Wilcox told The Telegraph. In other words, poor hand-washing leads to a large amount of bacteria being left on your hands.
9.It was found that the restrooms had more bacteria when __________.
A.only the hand dryer was available to use
B.only paper towels were available to use
C.both the hand dryer and the paper towel dispenser were available to use
D.neither the hand dryer nor the paper towel dispenser were available to use
10.According to the last paragraph, how can we stop bacteria?
A.By only using clean restrooms. B.By not using public restrooms.
C.By using paper towels. D.By washing our hands properly.
11.If we divide the article into three parts, which one can be the best?
A.①/②③④⑤/⑥⑦ B.①/②③/④⑤⑥⑦
C.①/②③④⑤⑥⑦ D.①②/③④⑤⑥⑦
12.What can we infer from the passage??
A.Modern technology causes more problems.
B.Good habits can protect you from danger.
C.It’s common to pick up bacteria public places.
D.Scientists will find a way to improve hand dryers.
【答案】9.A 10.D 11.A 12.B
【分析】本文介绍了在公共卫生间使用喷射式干手器传播更多的危险细菌。空气干燥器会将有害细菌传播到整个房间。使用喷射式干手器的人们更容易感染细菌。这主要原因是人们在上完厕所后不正确的洗手方式导致大量的危险细菌留在人们的手上所致。
9.细节理解题。根据第4段“The scientists found that when only the hand dryer was available, the amount of bacteria in the restrooms was 27 times higher than on other days.”可知当只有干手器可用时,洗手间细菌更多,故选A。
10.细节理解题。根据最后一段““The problem starts because some people do not wash their hands properly,… In other words, poor hand-washing leads to a large amount of bacteria being left on your hands.”可知正确的洗手可以阻止细菌,故选D。
11.篇章结构题。第1段介绍喷射式干手器的好处,方便,人们认为是卫生。第2、3、4和5段介绍了喷射式干手器不卫生,容易传播细菌。第6和7段介绍人们在上完厕所后不正确地洗手方式,导致了细菌的存在。故选A。
12.推理判断题。本文介绍了在公共卫生间使用喷射式干手器更容易感染更多的危险细菌,这主要人们在上完厕所后不正确的洗手方式导致大量的细菌留在你的手上。由此可知,好习惯可以保护你免受危险。故选B。

Tim Berners-Lee is not the most famous inventor in the world. However, his invention has changed our lives.
He was born in London, England in 1955. When he was a small boy, Tim was interested in playing with electrical things. He studied science at Oxford University. He made his first computer from an old television at the age of 21.
Tim started working on early computers. At that time, they were much bigger than now. He worked in England then Switzerland. Tim was really interested in two things, computers and how the brain works. How could the brain connect so many facts so quickly? He had to work with people all over the world. They shared information about computers. It was hard to manage all the information. He answered the same questions again and again. It took a lot of time. It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information. Tim also forgot things easily. Could a computer work like a brain? Could it “talk” to other computers?
There was an Internet already, but it was difficult to use. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web (WWW) all by himself. This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet. When people wanted to share information with others, they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that.
Tim Berners-Lee doesn't think he did anything special. He says that all of the ideas about the Internet were already there. All he did was to put them together. He says that many other people worked together to make the Internet what it is today.
Most inventors want to become rich. But Tim gave away the World Wide Web for nothing. He now works in America. He helps people share technology and wants the Internet to be free for everyone to use. Maybe he is the most important but least famous inventor in the world today!
13.The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refers to_____________
A.working on early computers B.connecting different facts together
C.travelling to the office in Switzerland D.repeating the answers to the same questions
14.Why is Tim Berners-Lee one of the most important men in the world?
A.He made information sharing on the Internet possible.
B.He made the first computer when he was 21 years old.
C.He helped people understand better how the brain works.
D.He invented the Internet and made it free for everyone to use.
15.In what order did the following events take place?
a. Tim worked in England. b. Tim worked in Switzerland.
c. Tim made his first computer. d. Tim invented the World Wide Web.
e. Tim studied science at Oxford University.
A.c-e-d-a-b B.c-b-a-c-d C.c-d-a-e-b D.e-c-a-b-d
16.What does the writer think of Tim Berners-Lee?
A.He is not famous because he is not rich.
B.He has changed our lives and he is great.
C.He did nothing special but make people a good life.
D.He has made great achievements in memory research.
【答案】13.D 14.A 15.D 16.B
【分析】本文介绍了发明万维网的发明家Tim Berners-Lee。他在21岁时制作了第一台电脑,在1989年发明了万维网,有助于计算机在互联网上交流。他还免费把这个技术分享给其他人,免费供大家使用。也许他是世界上最重要的发明家,但不是最出名的发明家。
13.推理判断题。分析第三段中“He answered the same questions again and again. It took a lot of time. It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information.”可知,Tim花费不少时间去回答关于电脑的问题,对于用电脑回答这些问题那就更费时间了,所以此处it指的是重复同一个问题的答案,故选D。
14.细节理解题。根据第四段中“In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web (WWW) all by himself. This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet.”可知,Tim创造了万维网,使互联网交流和信息分享成为了可能,故选A。
15.篇章结构题。根据“He studied science at Oxford University.”,“He made his first computer”,“He worked in England then Switzerland.”和“In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web (WWW) all by himself.”可知,事情发生的顺序是e-c-a-b-d,故选D。
16.观点态度题。由最后一段“Maybe he is the most important but least famous inventor in the world today!”可知,作者对于Tim的评价相当高,认为他是当今世界上最重要但最不出名的发明家,故选B。
01、
In many countries, tattoos are in fashion (时尚). On TV you can often see a famous actor or musician with a tattoo on his arm or foot. Many sports players have them, too. In the US, tattoos are very popular. Forty percent of Americans aged between 26 and 40 have a tattoo, and 60 percent of customers in US tattoo parlors are women. These people are often professional people like doctor, teachers and lawyers.
However, tattoos are not modern. In fact, they are very old in human history. For example, archaeologists* found a human in ice from 5,000 years ago. He had 57 tattoos on his back, ankles, legs, knees and feet. Tattoos were used for many different reasons. In ancient Egypt, people got tattoos because they were “beautiful”. But in ancient Rome, tattoos were negative and put on criminals* and prisoners. In India, tattoos were religious *.
In the 16th and 17th century, European sailors arrived on the islands of Polynesia. They saw tattoos for the first time. The people on the islands had tattoos on their shoulders, chests, backs and legs. Often the tattoos were of animals or natural features like a river or a mountain. The European sailors liked them and made their own tattoos, so the idea traveled to Europe. Tattoos in Polynesia are still important today. They show information about a person’s history, their island or their job.
So is there a connection between traditional tattoos and fashionable tattoos? And can you call tattoos a fashion? Chris Rainier is an expert in tattoos and his book Ancient Marks has photos of tattoos from all over the world. He thinks people in modern societies often have tattoos because they are a connection to the traditional world. But tattoos aren’t a fashion like clothes or a haircut because you can’t put them on and take them off again like a jacket or a hat. They are permanent* and for life.
1.When were tattoos brought to Europe?
A.5,000 years ago. B.60 years ago.
C.Until recently. D.In the 16th and 17th century.
2.What does the underlined word “parlors” mean?
A.school. B.stores. C.factories. D.theaters.
3.What’s the Chris’s opinion about tattoos?
A.Tattoos are religious in modern societies. B.Tattoos connect tradition with fashion.
C.Tattoos are a fashion among famous people. D.Tattoos show information about a person’s hobby.
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Tattoos’ History. B.Tattoos in Polynesia.
C.Tattoos on a Human in Ice. D.Tattoos in Fashion and for Life.
【答案】1.D 2.B 3.B 4.D
【分析】在很多国家,纹身是时尚的,在美国纹身非常的流行。这篇短文介绍了纹身的历史以及纹身在现代生活和传统生活的意义。
1.细节理解题。根据第三段“In the 16th and 17th century, European sailors arrived on the islands of Polynesia. They saw tattoos for the first time…. The European sailors liked them and made their own tattoos, so the idea traveled to Europe.”可知,在16和17世纪,欧洲的水手到达了波利尼西亚,他们第一次看到了纹身,非常喜欢,把这个想法带到了欧洲。故选D。

Easter Island’s large and mysterious stone statues have made it world famous. These statues, which look like humans with huge stone cylinders balancing on their heads like hats, attract tourists coming from all over the world. The tourists come to see these works of ancient art carved by the early inhabitants of the island. They come to see the mystery that has baffled scientists for decades.
Easter Island is located in a remote part of the South Pacific Ocean about 2,300 miles west of Chile. The island covers just 45 square miles and its Polynesian name is Rapa Nui.
On Easter Sunday, 1722, a Dutch explorer named Jacob Roggeveen was the first European to see Easter Island. The original Polynesian inhabitants of the island arrived centuries earlier. Scientists believe they carved these statues to honor their ancestors.
The rock used for the making of the statues came from Rano Raraku, the extinct volcano that formed the island. The early Polynesians carved the statues within the holes of the volcano using only stone tools. Then they moved these huge statues to various destinations throughout the island. These 600 statues range in height from10-40 feet. Some of them weigh as much as 50 tons. How could the early Polynesians lift hundreds of heavy statues out of the volcano? How did they move them across the island to their various locations? All of these questions, as well as many others, remain unanswered.
The early islanders probably worshiped these eyeless giants until sometime around 1670. In 1680, a war broke out between two groups of islanders. The victors of the war and ancestors of the present inhabitants, broke down many of the statues. In most cases, they broke the necks of the statues.
Now 15 of the statues on Easter Island have been repaired to their original positions on their stone platforms. Even today, using modern tools and machinery, putting up such large statues and balancing cylinders on top of their head present a challenging task.
5.The underlined word “baffled” in the first paragraph means ________.
A.puzzled B.encouraged C.pleased D.troubled
6.What do we know about Easter Island?
A.It is in the center of Chile. B.It is located in the North Pacific Ocean.
C.It was named after a Dutch explorer. D.Europeans landed there after Polynesians.
7.Scientists are still uncertain about ________.
A.why people built the statues B.where people made the statues
C.how people transported the statues D.how many statues there are on the island
8.What could be the best title of the passage?
A.Early history of Easter Island B.Art of carving in Easter Island
C.Mysterious statues in Easter Island D.Easter Island, a must-visit destination
【答案】5.A 6.D 7.C 8.C

7.细节理解题。根据“How could the early Polynesians lift hundreds of heavy statues out of the volcano? How did they move them across the island to their various locations? All of these questions, as well as many others, remain unanswered.”早期的波利尼西亚人怎么能把数百尊沉重的雕像从火山中抬出来呢?他们是如何把他们从岛上转移到不同地点的?所有这些问题,以及其他许多问题,仍然没有答案。可知科学家们现在仍然不知道雕像是怎样运输的,故选C。

Aren’t mobile phone, e-mail and voice mail supposed to help us communicate more easily? Sadly, that’s not always the case. Take the other day for example: when I was walking through the park with my friend, suddenly his mobile phone rang and he answered it—leaving me alone and cutting our conversation dead! In fact, the park was filled with people talking on their mobile phones. They were passing other people without even looking at them, or stopping to walk their dogs. Clearly, people can use mobile phones everywhere, but they ignore the people around.
Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? New communication technology seems to keep away from each other. With e-mail over the Internet, we can communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With WeChat or QQ, you can have conversations without even meeting that person. Even some food stores are using self-scanners so that you can check yourself out. As the contact between human beings becomes automated, my feeling of being disconnected gets stronger. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not against machines. I also own a mobile phone, a QQ, a WeChat and an e-mail account. Giving them up isn’t a good idea, as they are useful to have around. It’s just that when they keep us away from human contact, I begin to feel sad. Moreover, I find myself answering e-mail instead of talking to people. The technology that was made to help keep us in contact with each other is, in fact, making me feel more lonely.
What is to be done? Well, try to use less technology: no e-mailing people who live nearby, and no letting QQ and WeChat catch you all the time.
9.The purpose of the example in Paragraph 1 is to show that ________.
A.mobile phones bring a lot of convenience to people
B.mobile phones result in ignoring the others around
C.people communicate more easily with mobile phones
D.people are good at using mobile phones in their daily life
10.The underlined word “disconnected” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A.lonely B.satisfied C.stupid D.interested
11.It can be inferred from Passage 2 that ________.
A.technology keeps people busier than before
B.technology is always useful to have around
C.the writer is going to give up the mobile phone
D.the writer would like to contact people face to face
12.Which is the best title of the passage?
A.Technology and Human Life B.The Importance of Technology
C.Technology and Human Contact D.The Development of Technology
【答案】9.B 10.A 11.D 12.C
【分析】短文关注的是技术对人类生活的影响,描述了在现代化的时代背景下,人与人的交流更多的是不用面对面,只是手机,语音邮件等就可以了,少了很多人与人面对面的交流,多了些冷漠。建议尽量少用科技,多做面对面的交流。
9.细节理解题。根据“They were passing other people without even looking at them, or stopping to walk their dogs. Clearly, people can use mobile phones everywhere, but they ignore the people around.”可知,本段主要是说人们使用手机而忽略了周围的人们,故选B。
10.词义猜测题。根据下文“New communication technology seems to keep away from each other.”新的通讯技术似乎使人们彼此疏远,联系段尾“The technology that was made to help keep us in contact with each other is, in fact, making me feel more lonely.”帮助我们保持联系的技术实际上让我感到更加孤独,可知划线词语“disconnected”与lonely意思相近,故选A。
11.推理判断题。根据“Don’t get me wrong. I’m not against machines.”和“It’s just that when they keep us away from human contact, I begin to feel sad.”可知,作者为新的通讯技术似乎使人们彼此疏远而悲哀,他想人们之间应面对面的交流,故选D。
12.最佳标题题。根据“Well, try to use less technology: no e-mailing people who live nearby, and no letting QQ and WeChat catch you all the time.”以及整个文章的理解可知,短文主要描述了在现代化的时代背景下,人与人的交流更多的是不用面对面,只用手机、语音邮件等就可以了,少了很多人与人面对面的交流,多了些冷漠,所以C选项“科技与人际交往”符合,故选C。

With the development of science, more and more students don't like taking notes by hand. They use digital cameras to take notes in class. They think it is easier to take pictures of what their teachers write on the blackboard or record what their teachers say in class. The children might think there are too many notes to take. They are trying to find ways to make things easier, so they use digital cameras. In fact, children are very clever to make use of technology.
But do digital cameras really make taking notes easier?
Not really. You have a lot of things to do before you read notes from digital cameras. To begin with, you have to find a computer. Then you need to copy the pictures into the computer. Next, you have to find a printer to print the pictures. Another thing is that you can't hear the sound from digital cameras clearly because there is usually a lot of noise. You will have to listen to it slowly many times before you understand everything.
In fact, taking notes by hand is really the most effective way. It can help you remember and understand what you are learning. In order to save time, you can choose the most important things or the things you don't understand to write down. You don't have to write down everything.
13.Why do more and more students take notes with digital cameras but not by hand?
A.Because they want to take the right notes. B.Because their teachers want them to do so.

15.What does the underlined word "it" in the third paragraph refer to in the article?
A.The sound from the digital cameras. B.The noise.

16.What does the writer think is the best way to take notes?
A.By taking pictures of what teachers write on the blackboard in class.
B.By recording what teachers say in class.

D.You only need to write down what you don't understand or some key words.
【答案】13.C 14.D 15.A 16.D 17.D
【分析】随着科学的发展,越来越多的学生不喜欢用手记笔记。他们上课用数码相机记笔记。但是事实上,手写笔记确实是最有效的方法。你可以选择最重要的内容或者你不懂的内容写下来。
13.细节理解题。根据“They think it is easier to take pictures of what their teachers write on the blackboard or record what their teachers say in class.”可知,学生们认为对老师在黑板上写的东西拍照或记录老师在课堂上说的话更容易,故选C。
14.篇章结构题。根据“You have a lot of things to do before you read notes from digital cameras. To begin with, you have to find a computer. Then you need to copy the pictures into the computer. Next, you have to find a printer to print the pictures.”可知,是先拍照,然后找一台电脑,其次把照片复制到电脑里,最后把图片打印出来。所以顺序是d-b-c-a,故选D。
15.推理判断题。分析“Another thing is that you can't hear the sound from digital cameras clearly because there is usually a lot of noise. You will have to listen to it slowly many times before you understand everything.”可知,数码相机发出的声音你听不清楚,因为通常有很多噪音,你需要慢慢地听很多遍才能听懂。所以此处it指的是录音,故选A。
16.细节理解题。根据“In fact, taking notes by hand is really the most effective way.”可知,作者认为手写笔记是最有效的方法,故选D。
17.推理判断题。根据“In order to save time, you can choose the most important things or the things you don't understand to write down. You don't have to write down everything.”可知,记下重要的和不明白的地方就可以了,不需要记下所有东西。故选D。

Do you have a lucky number? What is it? Many people have a special number that they hope will bring them good luck.
In Chinese culture, some numbers are believed to be lucky or unlucky based on the Chinese word that the number sounds similar to.
For example, the word for the number 8 sounds similar to the word for “making a fortune”. So, people consider it a very lucky number. Some people will even spend a lot of money to have 8s in their phone number or on their vehicle license plate (车牌照) number. The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics began at 8:08 pm on Aug 8, 2008.
The number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors of China. There were nine dragons on emperors’ robes (龙袍) and Chinese myth held that the dragon had nine children. The number 9 also stands for “long lasting”. That’s why a man always proposes (求婚) to a woman with 99 or 999 roses.
So what’s an unlucky number in China? One example is 4. Many Chinese people see 4 as an unlucky number because it sounds similar to the character for “death”.
Because of this, many buildings skip (跳过) the fourth floor, and simply call it the fifth floor. In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors numbered with 4, such as 4, 14, 24, 34 and all 40-49 floors. Some buildings also skip the 13th floor, as this is considered an unlucky number in the West. As a result, a building whose highest floor is 50 may have only 35 physical floors.
1.What makes Chinese people believe a number is lucky or unlucky?
A.The shape of the number. B.The sound of the number.
C.The history of the number. D.The spelling of the number.
2.A building whose highest floor is 60 in Hong Kong might only have ________ physical floors if it skips all the unlucky numbers.
A.35 B.44 C.50 D.60
3.If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is best?
(①=Paragraph 1 ②=Para. 2 ③=Para. 3 ④=Para. 4 ⑤=Para. 5 ⑥=Para. 6)
A.①; ②③④; ⑤⑥ B.①②; ③④⑤; ⑥
C.①②; ③④; ⑤⑥ D.①; ②③④; ⑤⑥
4.What is the story mainly about?
A.Lucky and unlucky numbers in Western culture.
B.Meanings of different lucky numbers.
C.Meanings of different unlucky numbers.
D.Lucky and unlucky numbers in Chinese culture.
【答案】1.B 2.B 3.C 4.D
【分析】文章大意:这篇文章介绍了中国文化中的幸运数字和不幸的数字。
1.细节理解题。根据“In Chinese culture, some numbers are believed to be lucky or unlucky based on the Chinese word that the number sounds similar to.”可知,一些数字被认为是幸运或不幸运的,是因为这些数字听起来很像中文单词。故选B。
2.推理判断题。根据“In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors numbered with 4, such as 4, 14, 24, 34 and all 40-49 floors. Some buildings also skip the 13th floor,”可知60层高楼要除去4,14,24,34和40−49,54以及13层,结合选项,只有44层。故选B。
3.篇章结构题。通读全文可知,第一、二段总述了文章,因此可以作为第一部分;第三、四段主要列举了一些幸运数字,因此可以作为第二部分;第五、六段主要讲述了一些不幸的数字,因此可以作为第三部分。故选C。

①As you grow older, you'll be faced with some challenging decisions—like whether to cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard enough. But when other people take part in and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder. People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure.
②Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone's reading it. These are examples of how peers positively influence each other.
③ Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them. Your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.
④ It is tough to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.
⑤You’ve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to “choose your friends wisely”. Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this. If you choose friends who are never absent from class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably won't do these things either, even if other kids do.
⑥If you continue to face peer pressure and you're finding it difficult to deal with, talk to someone you trust. Don't feel guilty(内疚)if you've made a mistake or two.
5.The passage is most probably written for _________.
A.doctors B.parents C.teachers D.students
6.The underlined word "tough" in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _________.
A.wise B.difficult C.helpful D.impolite

A.Spending more time with classmates. B.Taking up more relaxing hobbies.
C.Choosing friends with no bad habits. D.Helping others who are in trouble.
8.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (P = Paragraph)
A.B.C. D.
【答案】5.D 6.B 7.C 8.D
【分析】本文介绍了随着年龄的逐渐增大,你将会面临一些艰难却有着重大意义的抉择——像逃课、抽烟等。当你的同龄人试图影响你做出决定时,他们给你施加的影响叫做“同辈压力”。“同辈压力”有积极的影响,也有消极的影响。
5.细节理解题。根据“As you grow older, you'll be faced with some challenging decisions—like whether to cut class or try cigarettes.”以及“People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers.”可知,本文是写给学生的。故选D。
6.词义猜测题。根据“It is tough to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it.”作为唯一一个对“同辈压力”说“不”的人是很困难的,但你可以做到。可知,此处的tough是“困难的”意思,与difficult意思相同。故选B。
7.推理判断题。根据“If you choose friends who are never absent from class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably won't do these things either, even if other kids do.”可以推出,选择没有坏习惯的朋友可能有助于应对“同辈压力”。故选C。
8.篇章结构题。文章第一段解释的是什么是同辈(同龄人)和“同辈压力”;第二段说的是“同辈压力”的积极作用;第三段说的是“同辈压力”的消极作用;第四段说的是拒绝“同辈压力”;第五段说的是怎样避免“同辈压力”(明智地选择自己的朋友);第六段还是介绍怎样处理“同辈压力”。所以,第一段点出文章的中心,统领全文;二、三段说的是“同辈压力”的两种(积极和消极)作用;四、五、六段说的是怎样对待和消除“同辈压力”。故选D。

When you like your teachers, it's easier to pay attention to their explanations and improve your marks. When you consider your teachers as friends, you'll certainly have more respect for them. When your teachers consider you to be a friend, they'll feel more open in class and that will probably influence the classroom in a positive way. So a good relationship between students and teachers makes the classroom a very pleasant place. Now here are some tips to develop a friendly relationship with your teachers.
If you have any questions about that subject, ask them. Show them that you're interested in their subjects. That will make them notice you. But never ask questions that you already know the answers to. If your teachers realize that you are not asking real questions, they might think that you're not actually trying to learn, but only trying to make an impression (印象).
You may also talk about non-school subjects with your teachers. When you see one of your teachers in the hall, greet him/her and ask if he/she is going to that concert or if he/she has seen that movie. That way you'll show that you consider him/her as a friend. Some teachers don't like to have friendly relationships with students, but most of them are happy to chat with their students. After a while, they may start to talk with you about non-school topics in the classroom.
The rest is totally up to you. It is very easy to develop a friendly relationship with any of your teachers. If you want to be friends with your teachers, just treat them as friends, but don't forget that no matter how good friends you are, they will still be your teachers and deserve your respect.

How are you feeling today? Often when we ask people that question, they reply “not bad”, or “could be worse”. But what would make us feel “perfect”? Maybe we could live better by being healthier, less stressed, more active– but how?
Of course there are many ways for improving our mental health(精神健康状态), but sometimes there are small and simple ways to help improve our health. It’s something the BBC TV program Easy Ways to Live Well has been looking at. It offered several health suggestions. And maybe they could help us.
Firstly, to deal with putting on weight and to cut the calories (热量), the program found the strong smell of peppermint (薄荷) can distract our brain from the food we’re thinking about. That is to say, peppermint can help us give up the idea to have a snack.
If your addiction (上瘾) to your smartphone is getting you down, it’s suggested that turning your phone screen white and black helps you cut down screen time because a black and white screen becomes less pleasant to look at. With recent studies showing our phones can make us 26% less productive and give us less stress.
Imagine a swim in ice-cold water? Well, the BBC program found a daily swim in freezing water gets you used to the stress of doing it and therefore prepares you for other life stresses. And another way to relax is to leave your smartphone at home, lose yourself in a forest, and breathe in the fresh air. Forest bathing is the perfect medicine for the stresses of city life.
In conclusion, whatever way we choose, it seems any change to our lifestyle can help improve our body and mind.
14.What’s the writer’s purpose (目的) in writing the first paragraph?
A.To introduce one of the ways for improving health.
B.To provide readers with more background information.
C.To call on more people to focus on the topic.
D.To draw out the topic of the passage.
15.The underlined word “distract” in Paragraph 3 probably means _______.

B.feel uncertain about something and do not know if it is true or possible
C.take someone’s interest away from what they are trying to do
D.like one activity very much and spend as much time doing it as they can
16.It can be inferred (推断) from the passage that _______.
A.forest bathing can help you get away from the stresses of city life
B.making the phone screen colorful helps you free from your your phone
C.swimming in ice-cold water every day can help you eat less
D.smelling peppermint from time to time can make you do your job better
