Wheat only came to northern China toward the end of the Neolithic(新石器)period,some 4,600 years ago.In the beginning,wheat didn't seem to be so delicious and had been treated as a crop of real need rather than a cooking pleasure.The first farmers of northern China started to grow millet( 粟 )as early as 11,500 years ago.By the time of the Tang Dynasty,wheat had become a major crop.But little was known about exactly why this change happened. To look for the answer,I collected nearly 1,200 data points covering more than 50 places from the mid-Neolithic,about 9,000 years ago,to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty in 220 AD.The places were across 8 modern provinces,from Gansu Province in the northwest to Shandong Province in the east. One possible explanation is a major climate change,called the Holocene Event 3,which happened 4,000 to 4,500 years ago.At that time,the climate became colder and drier across the land,causing less and less crop production. Besides this,the late Neolithic period was also a time of rapid population growth around the world.With an increasing population and unsteady crop production,it is reasonable to imagine that Neolithic farmers in northern China were trying hard to live. Wheat,it turns out,actually needs more water than millet,making it seem a poor choice for a dry period of history.But importantly,it can be sowed(播种)after millet has been harvested. That,we think,is the most likely reason why the people across northern China started to grow wheat. ( )11.What can we learn about wheat from Paragraph 2? A.It was a poor choice at the beginning. B.It was grown in China 11,500 years ago. C.It was the earliest crop grown in China. D.It replaced millet for its great taste. ( )12.What does the number in Paragraph 3 show? A.The writer did research widely. B.The writer did the research alone. C.The writer found the exact answer. D.The writer was good at collecting data. ( )13.What was probably the main reason to grow wheat in North China? A.The harvest of millet was not pleasing. B.The water there was enough at that time. C.It needed better weather conditions there. D.It was a proper sowing season after millet ( )14.What is the passage mainly about ? A.How millet was introduced into China. B.How China became the biggest wheat eater. C.Why Chinese farmers turned to grow wheat. D.Why wheat growth was affected by climate ( )15.What is the structure of the passage? A. 1/234/ 56 B.12/3/456 C.1/2345/6 D.123/45/6 B Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that trouble was coming for every big dog in California.Gold-diggers had found gold in northwest Canada,and these men wanted big, strong dogs to work for them in the cold and snow of the north. Buck had lived in Mr.Miller's house for four years since he was born.There were large gardens and fields of fruit trees around the house,and a river nearby.In a big place like this,of course,there were many other dogs,but they lived together in the kennels(狗舍),or inside the house.But Buck was neither a house dog nor a kennel dog.He was king—king over the whole of Mr.Miller's lands.He went swimming with Mr.Miller's sons,and walking with his daughters.He carried the grandchildren on his back,and he sat at Mr.Miller's feet in front of the fire in winter. This was 1897 when the discovery of gold brought men from everywhere to northwest Canada for gold-digging. But Buck did not read the newspapers. And he did not know that Manuel,one of Mr.Miller's farmers,needed money for his large family.One day,when Mr. Miller was away on business,Manuel and Buck left the garden together.It was just an evening walk,Buck thought.No one saw them go,and only a strange man saw them arrive at the railway station.This man talked to Manuel,and gave him some money.Then he tied a piece of rope around Buck's neck Buck growled.Gradually it was hard for him to breathe when the rope was pulled hard around his neck.He jumped at the man in anger.The man caught Buck and forced him to lie on his back.For a few moments he was unable to move.When the train arrived,the two men threw him into the train... ----Taken from the The Call of the Wild ( )16.Why did these gold-diggers want big dogs?

Gaemi,the third typhoon of this year,landed in coastal Fujian Province in July 25.During the following days,about 312,700 people were moved to a safer place,with no major incidents reported in the province.Damaged power and power equipment were fixed quickly and put into use again. The effective response was also reflected in the early warning Flash SMS (Short Message Service).Nearly 350,000 officials who are responsible for disaster prevention and relief work received the alert messages before the typhoon arrived.They should click to confirm the messages until they disappear. This is the first time the meteorological department(气象部门)has tried the reminder service,said Lin Weihua,a meteorological official of Fujian,noting that it helped with the relief work. While the Flash SMS helps people prepare when a typhoon comes,drones flying into it enable forecasters to track it more closely. In the morning of July 21,a drone called Haiyan-1 was sent to enter Prapiroon,the fourth typhoon of the year,which just formed in the South China Sea. After a two-hour flight,more than 4,200 data items were sent to the Meteorological big-data cloud platform,which helped create a 3D picture of the typhoon's structure. Apart from drones,more new technologies and innovations have been adopted across the country to help people handle the extreme weather and protect lives and properties. ( )21.What happened when the reminder service was used? A.There were incidents in the disaster. B.All the citizens received the messages. C.People were told how to escape in the flood. D.The messages didn't disappear until the officials clicked it. ( )22.What can we learn about the drones? A.Drones can save people's life. B.Drones can track the disaster more closely. C.Drones can help collect data items when the typhoon comes. D.Drones are used in all the natural disasters.across the country. ( )23.What does the word“adopted”most probably mean? A.decided B.used C.abandoned D.adapted ( )24.What does the passage want to tell us? A. Drones can take the place of human beings. B.Natural disasters will disappear in the future: C.Technologies can help us in different fields. D.Technologies play an important role in disaster relief. ( )25.In which part of a Shenzhen website can you find this passage?

Because of these factors(因素),many people-are looking for ways to reduce their plastic use.However,it's not as easy as they think. 28 It's certainly more biodegradable(可 降解)than plastic,but this might be only advantage.The production of cotton requires far more energy,water and so on.As the bags are heavier,transporting them will lead to higher carbon emissions(碳排放).An article from Columbia University suggests that cotton shopping bags need to be used over 7,000 times before they are more valuable than plastic ones. 29 Lightweight plastic in cars and planes help reduce oil use and emissions.If we didn't use so much plastic in clothing and shoes,we need plenty of land,water and other things for enough natural products. Plastic lasts for centuries.This is the reason why it is harmful to the environment,but it also means it can be used to make things that can be re-used again and again. 30 Plastic can cause serious harm to the environment,and efforts to throw less of it away can reduce this. Re-using it more could be one way to achieve this. A.Let's see our cotton bag. B.The problem is that we often don't. C Surprised?Keep on and we'll explain. D.Do you wonder which should be better? E.It's not just about cotton bags for shopping. F.Producing it can cause harmful gas into the air. 第三节信息匹配。左栏是对五个人情况的介绍，右栏是六个志愿工作的简介。请为每 个人选择合适的志愿者工作。 (共5小题，每小题1.5分) 31._ Li Ping is a nursing student.She is kind,and wants to help the old with what she has learnt 32.

I took part in the "Pick up Trash while Hiking" activity at Wutong Mountain last weekend. I joined this activity because I wanted to do something for the environment and keep the mountain clean. There is so much rubbish on the mountain, which is harmful to nature. During the activity, I not only picked up a lot of trash but also made some friends. During the activity, I felt very tired but also very proud. I think we should all take action to protect our environment. Let's start from ourselves and make our world a better place.
