Now I choose to sleep 10 to 20 minutes earlier with the reclining chair,” she said. She added that the longer sleep time also helps her do better in her afternoon studies. According to Xu Weimin, a sleep expert in Shanghai, lying down for a nap brings physical and mental benefits. “It can relax the muscles and improve blood flow to the brain,” Xu told Xinhua News. However, there has also been some worry about the reclining chairs. “Some students might lean back even during class, so it needs effective (有效的 ) management,” Chu Peilu, an English 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 5 teacher said. “But in all, I think it brings more good than bad.” 16．What is TRUE about the reclining chairs in the school?

Is it the same as a rainforest? Actually, it’s a very special kind of forest in cloudy mountains. There, clouds brush through trees and wet their leaves. Rain falls almost every day. Hundreds of mosses (苔藓) grow and cover everything like a soft, green coat. Plants of cloud forests live in an unusual way. They grow on the branches of trees instead of on the ground. The air is very damp, so plants can get all the water they need from the fog and rain. They live on the high parts of trees so that they can get more light to be stronger. There are many kinds of special animals in cloud forests. For example, tree kangaroos live in trees like monkeys. They use their long tails to balance just as monkeys do. Frogs have suckers (吸盘) on their toes so they can climb up trees and cross leaves easily. Many other special animals are 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 6 waiting for us to discover, aren’t they? Cloud forests are important to people. They give us healthy food crops, such as wild beans, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes and strawberries. Furthermore, they offer new medicine to treat cancer. Unluckily, the beautiful forests are in danger now. Why? Firstly, the climate is getting warmer, but plants and animals in cloud forests like to live where it’s cool. It’s difficult for them to find a proper place to live in. Secondly, people cut down many trees to plant crops or feed cows. The animals are losing their homes. Once cloud forests are gone, there must be a huge loss to humans. Save the cloud forests before it’s too late! 21．What kind of weather can be expected in a cloud forest? A．It rains almost every day.

Passage 6 What subject do you worry about the most at school? Many students worry about math. Some students can’t sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself. But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 7 “For people who are worried about math, posture (姿势) makes a big difference,” Erik Paper from San Francisco State University told the Daily Mail. That’s right-sitting up straight can help you do better on math exams. Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a simple math exam while sitting in a slumped over (趴倒的) posture or sitting up straight. After the test, 56 percent of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight. “Slumping over is a defensive posture. It can bring about bad memories in the body and brain. This can stop you from thinking clearly,” Paper said. “Students who were not nervous about taking the math exam did not necessarily benefit from better posture. But they did find that doing math while slumped over was more difficult,” ScienceDaily reported. Good posture isn’t just helpful for taking math exams. Sportspeople, musicians and public speakers can all benefit from better posture. When you feel stressed out, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more certain and focus better. 26．What posture can make people feel less stressed during math exams? A．Sitting up straight. B．Hanging your head. C．Lying on your back. D．Raising one hand. 27．What did the scientists ask the college students to do during the test? A．To do sit-ups. B．To count numbers. C．To think carefully. D．To sit in different postures. 28．The fourth paragraph is written to explain ________. A．why slumping over makes exams harder to do B．why slumping over is bad for one’s health C．why some people slump over during exams D．why people are nervous during math exams 29．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．Slump over to Take Exams B．Sit up to Do Math C．Benefit from good posture D．Good Advice for Better Exams 30．In which section of newspaper can you find the article? A．Sports. B．Travel. C．Nature. D．Science. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 8 Passage 7 Theo works days, nights, and weekends in the tulip, fields in the Netherlands and never feels tired. How is this possible? Theo is an AI robot that looks fo sick flowers each spring. The work stops viruses (病毒) from spreading among the plants. The robot looks for troubled tulip bulbs (鳞茎) and kills them if necessary. They are removed (去除) from the healthy ones, in a processing center after the harvest. There are 45 robots like Theo working in the tulip fields of the Netherlands. Their job becomes important as the winter turns to spring and the busiest season nears. People come from around the world to see the colorful flowers. This is the second season that Allan Visser has used a robot. He said it is very costly—the same as sports car—about $200,000. In the past, knowledgeable farmers would walk the fields looking for tulips that showed signs of sickness. “I prefer to have the robot because a sports car doesn’t take out thesick tulips from our field,” he said “Yeah, it is expensive, but there are fewer and fewer people who can really see the sick tulips. Erik de Jong, the manager of the company that makes the robots, said all of the knowledge they use in the computer program comes from tulip farmers—farmers like Theo van der Vourt. He is the farmer after whom the robot is named. Van der Vourt retired (退休 ) after 52 years of looking for sick flowers in his fields. “It’s fantastic” he said, “It sees just as much as I see.” 31．What is the writer’s purpose of asking the question in Paragraph 1? A．To bring up the topic. B．To ask for help. C．To look for an answer.D．To give an opinion. 32．What does Allan think of the robot? A．Careful. B．Helpful. C．Friendly. D．Busy. 33．What is Theo named after? A．A car. B．A plant. C．A place. D．A person. 34．What do we know about the robot? A．It can save sick tulips. B．It will retire after working for 52 years. C．It costs as much as a sports car. D．It does better work than tulip farmers. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 9 35．The best title for the passage can be ________. A．The Costly Sports Car in Tulip Fields B．Tulip Farmers and Their Knowledge C．AI Robot Theo in Tulip Fields D．The Busy Season of Tulips in Netherlands Passage 8 ①Many years ago, people relied (依靠 ) on the sun, the moon and stars to find their way around. Later, someone invented the compass (罗盘). And now, we have satellite navigation (卫星导 航 ) systems to guide us. A satellite navigation system uses groups of satellites to show the user’s location. They send information to a receiver, such as a smart phone, to show us where we are. ②The earliest satellite navigation system is the Global Positioning System, which belongs to the US. Then there is Russia’s Global Navigation Satellite System, the European Union’s Galileo and China’s own satellite navigation system, BeiDou. ③Since its introduction in 2000, the BeiDou navigation system has been used in most parts of people’s lives, such as shared bikes and farming. ④When it comes to shared bikes, smart locks that support BeiDou chips offer more accurate positioning (定位) than others, making it easier to find a bike. ⑤The BeiDou navigation system is very important to our country. “So far, the BeiDou system has covered most parts of the Asia-Pacific region, as well as countries along the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road,” said Yang Changfeng, chief designer of the BeiDou system. ⑥Today, there are more than 20 BeiDou satellites above our heads, and China plans to launch even more to expand (扩大) the BeiDou network. 36．What did people use to find their way many years ago? A．The sun, the moon and stars. B．The moon and the compass. C．The satellite navigation systems. D．The BeiDou navigation system. 37．Which country was the first to use the Global Positioning System?

Pat is a Pacific pocket mouse, and this is the smallest kind of mouse in North America. He weighs (重量是……) about as much as three coins. Pacific pocket mice live in Southern California, usually within 3.2 kilometers of the sea. They can help spread the seeds (散播种子) of the plants that grow naturally in this area. Their digging underground also helps the plants grow. But starting in the early 1930s, humans began taking up more and more of the area where the mice normally lived. Pacific pocket mice began disappearing. In the 1970s, scientists believed that the Pacific pocket mouse became extinct (灭绝的). But in 1994, scientists found a small group of Pacific pocket mice in Orange County, California. Later, they found two other small groups of the mice. Starting in 2012, the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance (SDZWA) began working to help the mice by raising them. Pat was just born in the first year of that program. In 2016, the SDZWAand several other groups helped get a group of Pacific pocket mice started in a park. Soon, the number of mice in the park began growing without any help from humans. The SDZWA says they will send many mice into the wild. But Pat will continue staying at the zoo. Now he’s quite old for a mouse. 41．Why does the writer tell us how much Pat weighs?

People who are shy always worry too much about what people think of them or embarrassing (使尴尬) themselves in some way in front of others. How can we overcome shyness? 1. Have a good posture (姿势) The way a person holds himself/ herself says a lot about that person. People with sloped (倾斜 的) shoulders don’t think of themselves as important. So stand up straight, put your shoulders back, keep your head up, and always make eye contact (接触). By practicing good posture, you will feel you have the ability to do things well. 2. Increase your walking speed You can tell if a person is confident (自信的) by the way he/ she walks. People who walk in a 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 12 slow way, and look at the ground while they walk usually have no confidence in themselves. However, people who have confidence in themselves walk faster. That is because they have important things to do, friends to meet, places to go, etc. So walk a little faster, keep your head up, and look straight ahead. 3. Do some exercise Exercise increases your energy levels in the body. That will put you in a more positive (积极的) state of mind. By doing exercise, you will feel sure of yourself. Think about it; it is better to do some exercise than just watching TV all day. 4.

However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries, people have developed different ways of telling the time. About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow (影子 ) showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday. The Egyptians made a sundial about 3,500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day. On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows (流动) from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time. In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example, spring (发条) were added around 1500. This enabled people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1927, the first quartz clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build. It’s also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run business, markets and so on. More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second. There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 14 51．According to the passage, we can’t use the ________ to tell the time on a rainy day.

That is the fun of bubble wrap (气泡包装), one of the best inventions ever. But did you know that it wasn’t made for popping in the beginning? This brings us to its funny story! Let’s learn more about it! In 1957, two engineers tried to invent a new kind of wallpaper. They put two shower curtains together with air bubbles between them. The result? A bumpy (不平整的), bubbly mess! Instead of cool wallpaper, they made something much more exciting. However, bubble wrap didn’t work as wallpaper at first. In fact, it wasn’t used for anything because it wasn’t flat! But when people saw it protected fragile things well, they sold it as packing material. Soon, people used bubble wrap to protect glass and electronics during shipping. But it wasn’t popular until people fell in love with its fun “pop”. They started popping it for enjoyment, making it a playful activity. Many say popping bubble wrap helps them relax by popping their worries away! People use bubble wrap for packing, making art projects, and as a fun toy. Some companies make bubble wrap so that you can pop it again and again, so the fun keeps going! The next time you open a package and hear the fun pops, think about bubble wrap’s journey-from a failed wallpaper idea to a perfect stress—relieving toy.

Take a close look at the world of insects, and you’ll find many unbelievable things. Think about butterflies, for example. They have beautiful colourful wings and strong fantastic flying skills. In summer, you can see them flying freely over flower gardens and wild fields. But do you know how butterflies become flying insects? It’s one of the amazing wonders of nature. In the beginning, female butterflies lay a small and colourful egg on a leaf or stem (茎) of a plant. It’s hard to believe that the egg will become something completely different in a few days. It turns into a walking insect. This insect is called a caterpillar. It now has legs, eyes and a large body. A new life has begun. The caterpillar can eat, walk and see, but it is still not a butterfly. Soon, after growing big, the caterpillar makes a cover for itself. It covers itself in a protective blanket (保护层) and goes to sleep. This stage is known as the “pupa (蛹)” stage. After a period of time, the blanket breaks and a wet, weak butterfly appears. It now has six legs, a mouth, eyes and wings. Shortly, the wings fill with blood, and the beautiful, colourful butterfly spreads its wings and flies away. After a few weeks, this adult butterfly lays her eggs, and the cycle begins all over again. This is just one example of the wonders of nature. Look into the woods and mountains and see what you can find next. 71．What is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．Butterflies are a kind of insect. B．Butterflies are good at flying.
