B.完成表格 Do you think that living a hungry life is last century’s story? Well, it may be this century’s headline. The world has growing worries about a global food shortage. Right now, there are still 870 million hungry people in the world, according to a survey of the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization. Children can’t escape this, either. Around fifteen million children die of hunger each year. What’s causing food shortages? There are several reasons. There are now more droughts and floods. This is very harmful to farmers and their ability to grow food. Besides, with the growing population, feeding everyone becomes more difficult. There are a little more than seven billion people in the world. By 2050, the world population will be more than nine billion. Another reason is food waste. The average person throws away 50kg of food every year. How can we help with food shortages? The easiest ways is to cut down on food waste. Next time before throwing away the food on your plate, just think how much work has been done to make it. By buying less, we waste less. This takes the pressure off producing so much food. And it helps to solve the problem of food shortage. You can also ask your schoolmates to join you. In 2013, researchers at Kansas State University in the US put up short anti-waste slogans in dining rooms “Think Before You Waste”. Guess what happened? Students wasted fifteen percent less food after that! The another of the study said, “You don’t need a huge activity to make difference.” Reasons of food shortages 6._____________________________ The growing population 7._____________________________ Ways of 8.____________________ 9._____________________________ Ask the other students to join in your anti-waste work.

With the founding of the People’s Republic of China, military rucksacks 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.

Scientists now are trying to make machines that can think like us. Artificial Intelligence, AI has given the machine the ability to copy human’s acts. We are already using AI on our smart phones, iPads and other digital devices. The best example of this would be Siri, a voice helper created by Apple. It can recognize a user’s voice and complete actions. For example, you can tell Siri to “ call Mom” or “set a time for 10 minutes”, and it will do these things for you. In 2018, the world’s first AI news reporter was shown to the public. It had a voice, facial expressions and actions of a real man. “He” learnt from live videos by himself and could read texts as naturally as professional news reporter. According to Xinhua, “he” had become a member of its reporting team and could work 24 hours a day on its official website. Surprisingly, many people failed to discover that the news was reported by AI. AI is also making artworks. For example, a painting created by AI was sold at the price of $ 432,5000 earlier this year. This means the computer now doesn’t just follow rules, but makes some decisions and “thinks itself”. This is not the first AI artwork, just the first piece on sale. As AI is doing more for us, we can have time to do more important things. However, what if we somehow created an AI that was smarter than us? How would it act, to help us or control us? Besides, bad guys might also use AI. For example, they could use AI to create websites to steal people’s personal information. Or they could use AI programs to break into computer systems. Luckily, this is set to change. European Union plans to set up a group to create some safety rules for AI technology by carefully discussing the dangers of highly developed AI. AI technology Present situation AI _1_ that machines have the intelligence as humans do. AI is already common in our daily lives. Its _2_ AI products Feature The smart helper on digital devices (Siri by Apple) · It can recognize a user’s voice and actions. · AI can understand us when we give it orders. AI news reporter · He is similar to the human reporter in almost everything. · Many people thought _3_ the news was reported by a man. AI “_4_” Following its own thought and decisions, AI has created artworks. Possible future · AI may also _5_ to humans, if it gets smart enough to control us. · AI can be wrongly used to steal information or break into computer systems. Some rules will be created for AI using to help people stay safe. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. $$Unit 7 Teenagers should be allowed to choose their own clothes. 【词性转换】 1.You are not allowed __________________ (smoke) in public places. 2.We saw lots of ________________ (paint) in the museum. 3.Students shouldn’t ________________ (allow) to pierce their ears and noses. 4.There is something wrong with Katie’s watch.

Some papers or high scores in exams? Well, these are not enough if you are a student at Tsinghua University. According to a new rule of the university, students must prove themselves in the swimming pool. They need to pass a swimming test of at least 50 meters, and those who fail the test will be required to take a swimming course throughout their school years. By the time they graduate, they will have known how to swim; otherwise they can’t graduate with their bachelor’s degrees. The news made waves in Chinese society. Some people praised the university for requiring a necessary skill that can save lives, and they also believed that the rule would help improve students’ health. However, others questioned if it was fair to expect those who come from inland cities to be able to swim. In fact, this is not a new rule. Tsinghua University first made swimming a requirement in 1919 but later gave it up because the number of students became too large and there were not enough swimming pools in the school for them to learn swimming. Anyway, it is still good news that Chinese students’ health has become more and more valued. Why not just take this chance to learn one more life-saving ability? （ ）1.According to the passage, what does it take for a student to graduate from Tsinghua University? A.Some papers and high scores in exam. B.Passing a swimming test. C.Both of the above. （ ）2.Paragraph 2 mainly talks about ________. A.what the rule is B.how to follow the rule C.why to set up the rule （ ）3.The underlined phrase “made waves” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “______”. A.caused a heated discussion B.spread widely C.made a requirement （ ）4.Why did Tsinghua University once give up the rule? ①Because many students failed the swimming test. ②Because some people disagreed with the rule. ③Because there were too many students. ④Because there were not enough swimming pools .A. ①② B. ③④ C. ①④ （ ）5.What is the passage mainly about? A.Different people hold different opinions about a new rule. B.Tsinghua University has made a new rule of graduation. C.There is a new chance to learn another life-saving ability. B What is one thing that would help parents understand their kids better? More than 8,000 US kids answered this question in an online poll by KidsHealth. Org. Many US kids – two out of three – said they get along with their parents. Bu that doesn’t mean they never disagree. In fact, most kids reported arguing with their parents, at least sometimes. And two out of five kids said arguments sometimes even include shouting at each other. “It’s certainly normal to disagree and argue,” says Darcy Lyness, an American expert. “But it’s also important to learn how to do so respectfully. Be patient. Don’t use a raised, angry voice.” And not surprisingly, three out of four kids said they have lied to their parents sometimes. Many said they lie so they would not get in trouble or let their parents down. According to Lyness, lying isn’t just wrong. It can actually have bad results. Telling the truth builds trust. “Telling the truth,” says Lyness, “shows maturity”. But older kids actually lie more often than younger ones. Kids aged 12 to 14 not only said they lie more, but they also reported having less fun, feeling less close and not getting along well with their parents. According to Lyness, those feelings are common. Ad kids become more independent, they have more areas of disagreement with their parents. But it doesn’t have to be that way. “kids and parents get along differently at each stage of the journey,” she says. “As kids grow and change, it is important for everybody to change.” （ ）1.In Lyness’s opinion, kids ________ their parents. A.never agree with B.may argue with C.must always agree with （ ）2.Why do some kids lie to their parents? A.They don’t trust their parents. B.They don’t want to get into trouble. C.They don’t think lying is wrong. （ ）3.About _______ out of the 8,000 students in the poll said that they have lied to their parents. A.4,500 B.6,000 C.7,500 （ ）4.According to Paragraph 5, older kids _______. A.have more B.seldom lie to their parents C.feel less close to their parents（ ）5.The writer wrote this passage to ________. A.show how parents and kids get along B.avoid troubles between parents and kids C.help parents and kids understand each other better. 【B卷专练】 一、在对话的空格中填上适当的单词，使对话完整正确。每空一词。 A: Jane, you look worried.

It’s a _2_ for me to get away from real life. There’s nothing better than being lost in a story unless, someone decides to break down the moment. Someone usually decides _3_ the place like their own home! They behave very _4_ at the cinema. To start with, some people always turn up late, causing you to rise from your seat to allow them _5_. Then, when you want to enjoy the surround-sound effects, someone begins to enjoy their drinks and popcorn and makes much noises. What I can’t stand _6_ is people who have a talk with their friends, sometimes not even about the film. Simon Mayo, a film critic at the BBC, _7_ a “new low” during a film. He says, “The woman in front of me got a mirror out, then her boyfriend used the light on the phone to allow her to do her make-up!” Everyone should _8_ to behave well at the cinema. Simon has helped to create a list of rules on how moviegoers should behave at the cinema. One of them is no use of mobile phones, and another is not to take your shoes off!

You will probably throw them all away. But actually, all of these pieces of waste need to be sorted. On July 1, 2019, Shanghai created a new rule about sorting rubbish. Everyone in the city must sort his or her rubbish into four kinds: wet, dry, harmful, and recyclable. According to the new rule, people who fail to sort garbage properly can be fined up to 200 yuan. The new rule is to change the past voluntary action into compulsory action for everyone. To better carry out the rule, Shanghai has worked with Alipay to create a “green account” service for its people. Account holders get points by correctly sorting their rubbish according to the new rule. Through the Alipay app, they can get milk, phone cards and other products when they have enough points. Why should we sort our rubbish? The answer lies in the increasing amount of waste we are producing. Chinese cities produce over 200 million tons of waste each year. Most of the waste is buried, which may pollute water and land. Besides, it’s harder to find new space to bury the waste. In fact, more than half of our waste can be recycled. Recyclable rubbish can be made into new materials, while wet waste can be used to make gas and heat. But in order to better recycle, we need to sort our rubbish. Can’t sorting-processing factories do the sorting job for us? They can. But that requires a lot of work and money. Things will become much easier if each of us can sort our own rubbish. Besides, less waste may be produced when people are encouraged by this. According to a study, over 90 percent of people believe that rubbish-sorting is important for the protection of the environment. Shanghai rubbish-sorting rule The rule and its importance · Rubbish shouldn’t _1_ directly before it is carefully sorted. · Everyone has duty to sort rubbish. The way to carry out the rule _2_ for rule breakers: They will be fined up to 200 yuan. _3_ to the public: · People create a “green account” on Alipay and collect points by sorting their rubbish. · Through Alipay App, people can exchange the points for something useful. China’s rubbish facts · The amount of waste we produce is increasing. · The buried waste causes pollution to water and land. · We’re _4_ to bury waste. The purpose · To better recycle rubbish. · To _5_ for sorting-processing companies. · To encourage people to produce less waste. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. $$ Unit 4 I used to be afraid of the dark. 【词性转换】 1.China, Korea and India are all ____________ countries.

I am sitting in my grade seven classroom, watching outside. Now, trees with green leaves seem so tall and straight. Do you still find them large? Or perhaps they seem small to you now? Do you still find the squirrels cute? Do you still have a strong love for cartoons? Or perhaps are all of these childish for you? I wonder if my friends now are still friends with you, ten years later. Are you still in touch with them? Can you tell me how my high school graduation went? Did you like sitting and listening to the headmaster and teachers speak? And can you tell me what I will become in the future? Am I a doctor? Am I a teacher, engineer, officer, scientist or writer? I’m not sure what I want to be but I’m sure that you have already known. That reminds me, did I do well in my math test yesterday? Oh, I’ve always wanted to travel around the world! Did you visit Japan, Canada, the United States or China yet? Or did you visit Russia, South Korea or Australia instead? Life will always continue.

B Wednesdays and Fridays are very busy for Liu Wei. She is an accountant for a recycling company. On those days, many sellers come to the company with boxes full of waste paper or empty plastic bottles. Liu, with other workers, weighs the things and takes down the numbers. But she works for only 20 minutes and then goes back to study. Liu, 15, is actually a student in Nanjing Baijiahu Middle School. Both the company workers and the sellers are students. The company collects the waste from every class and sells it at the end of every month. The company will be given to the local Red Cross Society. Wang Xiaogen, the headmaster of the school, set up the company in 2008 and got students to run it. He thought that the company would not only increase the sense of protecting our environment, but also improve their abilities in many ways. Liu is a good example. She used to be careless. Once when she took down the weight of some waste paper, she forgot to subtract the weight of the box “From then on, I become more careful and never make that kind of mistake again,” she said, “It also makes me learn to be careful in my study and in my everyday life.” Jiang Qinyou, 15, the chairman of the company, said he left as though he became one of the masters of the school. He holds meetings every Friday and talks with school working staff about the current situation. “We, instead of teachers, take care of all the recyclable waste at school and we’re done it quite well,” Jiang said. （ ）1.According to the passage, Liu Wei _______. A.keeps very busy on weekdays. B.works in a Red Cross Society. C.is a 15-year-old middle school student. （ ）2.The third paragraph mainly tells us about the _______ of the company.

A.The headmaster of the school is the chairman of the company. B.The money made by the company is used to help more people. C.Jiang Qinyou holds a monthly meeting to discuss the current situation. C Anna used to wake you up on Sunday mornings when you wanted to stay in bed, but now you will feel strange if she gets up before lunch. She used to be very quiet, but now she talks all the time – but not to you. She used to hold your hand when you went to visit your friends. Now she doesn’t even want to be seen with you when you go to visit your friends. Your Anna might spend hours on the phone or in the bathroom now. At the same time Nick next door has become quiet and dirty. He used to be very polite. Now a simple conversation with Nick becomes very difficult. You’ve gone from a hero to the most embarrassing adult in the world. Your child has become a teenager! What makes adolescence so difficult? Physical and emotional changes are the reasons that make them change so much. When they are young, children live in a safe and simple land called “childhood”. Parents organize their lives. Parents choose children’s clothes, take them to places, and spend time with them. They’re there with the children when there is a problem. As children get older, however, they learn about another land – an exciting land, called “adulthood”. Sooner or later their hormones push them into the open sea – away from the safe land or childhood. Adolescence, then, is the journey from childhood to adulthood. Some find the journey quite easily. For others, it’s very difficult. （ ）1.The article is probably written about ________. A.teenagers B.parents C.students （ ）2.When Anna was a child, she used to do the following things EXCEPT ________. A.getting up early B.staying with her parents in public C.spending hours on the phone （ ）3.What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about? A.Anna’s requirements. B.Anna’s changes. C.Anna’s problems. （ ）4.Why are Anna’s teenage years so different from her childhood? A.Because her appearance has changed. B.Because the hormone in her body changes her. C.Because parents look at Anna differently. （ ）5.What is the best title for the article? A.The Changes from Childhood to Adolescence B.A Teenager’s Life C.Parents’ Changes 【B卷专练】 一、在对话的空格中填上适当的单词，使对话完整正确。每空一词。 A: Hey, Maria! Over there! Don’t you _1_ me? B: Oh, wow!

She owns just five shirts, two pairs of pants, four pairs of shoes and a few other things. It’s hard to believe that only five years ago, Lin was one of those people who couldn’t stop buying. Back then, she had more than 400 pieces of clothing and handbags. But that was before she saw an online challenge in 2014. Joshua Becker, an American writer, was introducing a minimalist lifestyle to the public. He encouraged people to reduce the number of their things to fewer than 100. Lin decided to give it a try. She threw away 90 percent of her things. She also deleted 120 contacts she never spoke to from her social account. After doing all that, Lin said she felt “lighter”. We used to think owning more was the way to lead a rich life. But now many people come to believe that fewer is better. According to US scientist Joel Stillerman, rich and educated people are more likely to have a minimalist lifestyle. “These people are making the statement: ‘I can afford to have less.’” He said. But leading a minimalist life doesn’t mean spending less. A report by UK market research company Euromonitor finds young Chinese people spend less buying things, but more on their hobbies, short holidays and visits to the movies. “They are looking for a life that is all about culture,” Alison Angus, head of lifestyle at Euromonitor, said. So perhaps it all comes down to what we think of “rich”. Is wealth in life about buying more and owning more, or is it about learning more and experiencing more? Lind’s _1_: · Five years ago: She used to buy a lot and had many clothes and handbags. · At present: *She owns much fewer clothes and handbags. *She keeps only some _2_ on her social account. · Result: She feels “lighter”. · Reason: A minimalist lifestyle _3_ her to make the difference. example a minimalist lifestyle Meanings: · People used to think a rich life meant buying and owning more, while many people think the _4_ is true now. · It doesn’t mean spending less: *It means spending less on buying things but more on _5_. 1.___________ 2. ___________ 3. ___________ 4. ___________ 5. ___________ $$ Unit 3 Could you please tell me where the restrooms are? 【词性转换】 1.The supermarket is near my home, so we can go shopping very ____________.

The buildings were so tall. They city was large, much larger than her small town. Asha was on vacation in New York City. She was very _1_ as she had always wanted to come. She read stories about it and studies its _2_. She knew how Manhattan was bought from native Americans 300 years ago. She also knew people from all over the world came to live here. These people, like Asha, _3_ a new life in New York. But Asha was only staying for fourteen days. She thought of these two weeks as a time to _4_ herself to move back to New York. She would return to her town, stay for one year, and then come to live in New York forever. So she had to plan this vacation _5_. First, she wanted to look for a job in New York. Next, she would find a place to live. She knew it was expensive to live in New York and that finding a place to live was _6_. And thirdly she wanted to _7_ her English. She had studied English for 12 years but didn’t know _9_ place. But Asha wasn’t worried. She believed she would be safe. _10_ Asha saw the Statue of Liberty!

But _1_ do you say these two words? Perhaps when someone holds the door _2_ for you. Or when a friend does you a big favor. In Britain, people say “thank you” quite often, even at times when there is no _3_. Sometimes we say it sarcastically. _4_, if a friend wants to throw my food away, _5_ I finish, I may say, “Oh, thank you!” Then my friend would reply, “Sorry”. This can make a situation _6_ confusing to foreigners. However, anyone working in the service sector -- waiters, taxi drivers, shop assistants, bus drivers and so on will get a “thank you” from British customers. If you’re _7_ with the driver who got you to school on time, or the waiter who served you food, say “thank you” to them. You’re really saying “good job”. I was first _8_ that people don’t often say “thank you” here in China. But I know people can give a smile or nod instead. Yet I can’t change my British _9_ of saying “thank you”. Even here in China, I know I use these two words _10_. But saying “thank you” is free, and I believe the more, the better. （ ）1.A.how B.where C.when （ ）2.A.tidy B.open C.clean （ ）3.A.need B.use C.good （ ）4.A.By the way B.For example C.After all （ ）5.A.wondering B.hoping C.thinking （ ）6.A.feel B.sound C.taste （ ）7.A.happy B.nervous C.upset （ ）8.A.excited B.bored C.surprised （ ）9.A.idea B.habit C.spirit （ ）10.A.too many B.too much C.too usual 【B卷专练】 一、首字母填空。根据首字母提示补全下列单词。 1.“Would you please open the window for me ?” She asked p . 2.There is an old saying which goes like this: You can’t get anything u you learn to give. 3.Time in Columbia is quite slow.

But I didn’t care about anyone until I had a(n) _1_ experience at eleven. It has taught me a great lesson and _2_ the way I think and act now. One day, Grandpa _3_ that I go to a fish pond on a farm with him. I agreed but when we got here, we didn’t fish. Instead, Grandpa asked me to throw a stone into the water. He told me to watch the circles created by the stone. Then he asked me to think of _4_ as that stone. “You may create lots of circles in your life, but the waves that come from those circles will make a _5_ to the peace of all the people around,” he said thoughtfully. “have you discovered the _6_ between you and people around” The happiness and joy from your circle will spread to others. At the same time, the anger and sadness will _7_ come along as well. So try to think and act _8_ so that you can put more good things in your circles.” That was the first time I had realized that each person’s inner peace or discord can flow out into the world. If we are filled with fear or _9_, we cannot create peace. We spread the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside, _10_ we speak them or not. Whatever circles are inside us, they are spreading into the world, creating beauty or discord with all other circles of life. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 四、阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出适当的选项补全短文。 There are three types of questions in English: direct, indirect, and question tags. People use these types of questions differently according to different situations. _1_ Direct questions are either yes-no questions such as “Are you married?” or information questions such as “Where do you live?” It is certainly correct to ask so, but you can make it sound more polite by adding “excuse me” or “pardon me” to begin your question. _2_ For example, we can say “Excuse me, could you please help me pick this up?” or “Would you mind if I sit here?” Remember that “please” should not appear at the beginning of the question. _3_ Notice that an indirect question begins with a phrase (I wonder, Do you think, Would you mind, etc.), and the actual question is then placed in a positive sentence form. _4_ We often use question tags when we check information that we think is correct. _5_ If the voice goes up at the end of the sentence, we’re asking for more information. If the voice drops, we’re confirming information which is known. For example, you remember that Jack is from New York, but you are not sure about that. Then you can ask, “you live in New York, don’t you?” A.Indirect questions are used more than direct question. B.But all in all, each type can be used to ask polite questions. C.It’s also possible to use “could” or “would” in some situations. D.For example, we can say “I wonder if you know what time it is.” E.We also use them to ask for more information with different intonations. F.Using indirect question forms is an especially polite way of asking polite questions. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 五、阅读下面短文，根据其内容，完成表格中所缺的信息。 Traveling not only is a great way to relax but also offers us a window to look into a different culture and history.

Your phones are becoming even smarter. You can add simple things like flight times and numbers to your phone. It can help you record the important information and remind you in time. If you want to find local food or a special place, just turn on an app. For example, Google Cardboard is a cheap virtual reality device that is used with your smart phone. It makes you feel like you’re really there. If you want to visit the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the device will lead you to the tower and show you the way to get in. The picture of a traditional airport is disappearing. Future airports will pay attention to a local feel. Travelers will not only enjoy local street food in waiting areas, but also admire local artworks as they wait for their luggage. Now there are already some good examples. The library in Amsterdam Airport gives travelers a special experience. How should other airports show their local features in the future? In the future, travelers may not always stay in normal rooms. They have started to find interesting places to make their travel experiences more colorful. Can you imagine swinging into a tree house? You can find one in Laos. How about sleeping in a Trojan Horse? Just go to Belgium. As more accommodations like these appear in coming years, travelers will get more fun experiences during their stay.

However, foreign people loved silk very much and were willing to buy it no matter how high _7_ price was. According to the _8_ record, over 2,000 years ago, silk began to be sold to _9_ and Germany. The road to foreign countries later became _10_ as “the Silk Road”. It ran across China all the way to several European countries. Silk went west to Rome.

Up on now, more than 570 aircrafts have been ordered from 23 customers, mostly Chinese, but also American and Thai companies or airlines. _3_ The name C 919 has its special meanings. The letter C stands for both “COMAC” and “China”. _4_ And the number 19 refers to its capacity of 190 passengers. The large passenger aircraft is considered as “the flower of modern industry”.

While it provides us with a very convenient way of communication, it is gradually shaping our language. According to a recent survey, more than 76 percent of young people in China say their Chinese language skills have become poorer. They don’t use rhetorical techniques as often anymore but choose all kinds of Internet emojis. With the popularity of the Internet, people’s communication habits have become quite different from what they used to be. For example, direct expression is people’s favorite way to communicate online. When one sees something funny, he or she will simply type “hahaha” or use the “cry-laugh” emoji. Also, “copy and paste” culture is getting popular. Some people aren’t serious about choosing words or building sentences when they express ideas. They simply pick up expressions from the Internet without much thought. Many begin to use a fixed set of sentence patterns, such as “whenever you disagree with each other, you…” In general, words are being used less. Since people can share photos online, there is little need for them to describe things with words. If this situation continues, it could make a difference to our way of thinking. When we use expressions without thinking, it means we have become too lazy to express our real feelings. If teenagers are used to using expressions like emojis, they can’t understand words and use them properly. Will our language skills keep going down? That is a problem we should pay much attention to. Some experts say that we should try to think independently and develop our own language skills. They also tell us to read more classic works and keep using various words to show our own feelings.

Earlier this month on a Sunday afternoon, a giant “ancient city” appeared on the surface of Hongze Lake in 江苏Province. _1_ You might think that some unknown forces were at work, but it’s believed that the “city on the lake” was actually a mirage. If different layers of air are at different temperatures, light will bend at different angles when passing through them. This can create a false image of a nearby object. _4_ The layer of air near the lake is colder than the higher layers, as the lake absorbs most of the heat. The buildings in the mirage were actually on a nearby mountain. But their image showed up above the lake after light refracted in different layers of air. Mirages happen not only over large bodies of water, but anywhere where the ground can absorb a lot of heat. _5_ The next time you think you see a pool of water on the road on a hot summer day, you will know it’s just a mirage – an image of the sky caused by bending light. A.Take the “city on the lake” as an example. B.This bending is called “refraction”. C.They are often seen on hot roads and in deserts. D.But after about half an hour, the “city” was gone.

Strange animals and plants, shipwrecks and more. Is it possible that there’s a whole underwater island with homes, places and temples? Some people believe there used to be one – Atlantis. Atlantis is believed to be an island that appeared over 11,000 years ago in the Atlantic Ocean. According to Greek mythology, the island got its name from the god Atlantis, who owned the island. On the island, people lived rich lives. They built large houses with gold. This ancient place is also said to have developed technology that modern society hasn’t discovered. Islanders used special stones to get energy from the sun, moon and stars. Their brains were so developed that they could understand what animals were saying. The story of Atlantis was first told by Greek philosopher Plato. According to him, the people on Atlantis became so greedy that the gods got mad at them. Then, the gods created fires and earthquakes that caused Atlantis to sink into the sea. There are no other historical records of Atlantis. However, some people believe the story is true. Some researchers have tried to find proof of the story. They have found underwater tools of ancient cities around the Atlantic Ocean. They said these tools look just like what Plato described. Just not long ago, high-teach search company Merlin Burrows said its workers had found houses and towers of the island (what they said) near the coast of Spain. No one can say for sure that Atlantis was ever real. However, one thing is for sure: the mysterious island has caught the imaginations of many people around the world. People love the story so much that they have made many movies about it, including the hot movie Aquaman.

The film Green Book won Best Picture, the biggest award of the night. How did it impress so many people? The reason is probably that it speaks openly about the problem of racial discrimination. The time between the late 1870s and 1960s was a very different period in American history. Many parts of the country had Jim Crow law, which allowed racial segregation. Those laws made life and travel dangerous for black people. They couldn’t use certain hotels, restaurants or even gas station. They had to stay indoors after dark, or they might be punished. But in 1963, a black postman named Victor H. Green made a list of business places in New York, which were friendly to black people. He published the list secretly as a small book with a green cover. The book helped black people travel more safely. Then, in 1964, Jim Crow laws went away, and the book went away too. It became a forgotten part of history. Thanks to this film, people remember it again. The film Green Book is made according to the true story of a road trip through southern America in the early 1960s. In it, the black pianist Don Shirley hires a white person who is named Tony to drive him to his shows around the country. Tony doesn’t like black people, but he still takes up the job. However, they face many problems because of Shirley’s skin color on the way. Those problems lead them to develop a special friendship. As Tony and Shirley drive through the south, they realize how much they have in common and come to understand each other’s race.

But no one can be compared with Taylor, a girl from Virginia, US. She can speak to cows! “Give me a kiss,” said the teen gently as she made a cow lie down and kissed its wet nose. “That’s my girl.” The 1,500-pound(680kg) cow acts like a big dog. Among her family and friends, Taylor is known as a cow whisperer（牛语者）.She started showing these skills at the age of 9. And the young girl thinks she was born to do it. When Taylor was younger, she visited her uncle’s farm that had lots of cows. The little girl loved them at first sight. She couldn’t help running to feed them and even named all of them. “‘Come here, Bessie,’ I often call her like this and she’d eat grass on my hand,” Taylor said. “But when my mom and dad came, they would run away.” The secret of the girl is the style of talking. “You have to say easy words with them, or they will be jumpy and scared”, said Taylor. In December 2015, Taylor was in a TV show. When Taylor was in the show, the girl talked to cows so they didn’t get nervous. She said thing like “It’s OK” and “No one is going to hurt you.” And later, the girl even had a little chat about her school life with the cows. The cows were listening to her during the whole chat. In the end. Taylor took first place with her cows and brought home the prize. The money she won will be used for her to study in college. （ ）6.When did Taylor start to show the skills to talk to cows? 10 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 A.When she was born B.When she was 9 C.We don’t know （ ）7.What does the underlined phrase mean in Chinese?

It is 800 meters wide and 4,000 meters long and there are many things to do. We took a ride on some horse through the park and even had a boat trip on one of the park’s lakes. My mom loved looking at all the works of art in the park. Dad enjoyed the concert most. My brother and I liked the zoo most of all. It was small but had some cute animals. Our guide said the Central Park Zoo is one of the oldest zoos on the United States. In the afternoon, we took a boat to see the famous Statue of Liberty（自由女神像）that stands in New York Harbor. Our guide said this 46-meter-high statue was given to the United States by France in 1886 to show the friendship and freedom both countries shared. The guide told us that millions of people came to the United States and were greeted by this statue as they entered our country through Ellis Island. For them, it represented the freedom and chances they would find in our country. Dad said my grandparents often spoke of how excited they were to be greeted by “Miss Liberty” when they came to this country through Ellis Island. Seeing the Statue of Liberty made me so proud of our country. Well, that’s all about my trip. I’m going to see a Broadway play in half an hour. I’ll be back home in two days. See you soon.

They worry that they won't say things correctly or that they will look stupid, so they don't talk at all. Don’t do this. The fastest way to learn anything is to use it again and again until you get it right. Use all of your resources. Even if you study English at a language school, it doesn’t mean you can’t learn outside of class. Using as many different methods and tools as possible will allow you to learn faster. Listen to English. By this, we mean, listen to the radio or CDs in English. This is more different than watching the television or films because you can’t see the person that is speaking to you. Recording yourself is also necessary. Not everyone likes to hear their own voice on tapes while learning a language, but it’s a good way to compare your pronunciation by recording your voice. Do exercises and take tests. One of the best reasons for doing lots of exercises and taking tests is that they give you a chance to see what you have learned. If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are progressing. Keep doing this and you will really make great progress with English.
