It is made from tea leaves and can be used with ice cream or cake. In fact, matcha came from China first but took off in Japan. Biscuits or cookies covered with chocolate are also a Japanese favorite. Potato chips and French fries are very popular in the US. They are cheap but tasty. But they are high in calories and eating too much may make you fat. Popcorn is another typical (典型的) snack. People eat it when they are watching sports games or visiting the amusement park. Most cinemas also sell popcorn. In the UK, many people sit down for snacks at around 4 p.m. every day. They call it “afternoon tea”. Traditional afternoon tea is biscuits and tea. People also have the scone (烤饼, 司康饼) with jam and cream, which is probably the most classic English snack. Potato chips and French fries are Popular in the UK, too. Do you want to eat snacks in a healthy way? Here are some helpful tips. Have a look! A handful of walnuts (核桃) are great for your brain. But a whole bag will add nothing but fat. If you’re crazy for chocolate, try a hot chocolate drink instead of a chocolate bar. Don’t eat too many snacks after dinner. 1．The underlined phrase “took off” in Paragraph 2 probably means_________.

The blind man still stood there and held out his hat. “Let us give the poor man something,” said Harry to his mom. His mother found some coins (硬币) in her bag and passed them to him. However, Harry did not put them into the man’s hat. He threw them into the bush (灌木丛) beside the poor man. How could the blind man find them?

Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will be very hungry when it gets cold?” “I didn’t think about that,” I said. “I know,” Grandpa said. “But a good man should never take advantage of someone else’s hard work.

We walked carefully, but the cold water still flooded (淹没) into our shoes and trousers. I was getting very cold and tired. I wanted to give up, but when I saw other kids moving so fast, I decided to follow them, even though I was far behind. It was even more difficult during the last part of the walk. I became so tired that I lost my footing and fell several times. But 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 7 with the help of my mother and my friends, I got to my feet and kept going each time I fell.

I felt as if that day was going to be one of “those days”. I remembered I should meet my 85-year-old friend Harry. I promised to take him to lunch anywhere he wanted to go. When we stopped the car Harry told me, “I have to buy some donuts (甜 甜圈 ) in the shop before going to the restaurant.” Of course, I agreed. He walked in and began having a joke with the owner of the shop. They talked happily as she gave him a. box of donuts. I couldn’t help but ask him, “What are the donuts for?” He quickly replied, “You will soon see.” As we opened the door of the restaurant, the line was very long. It was lunch time. People were on their cell phones. Babies were crying and the waiters looked stressed (紧张的) and busy. Harry 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 8 and I were waiting in line doing nothing until we reached the front of the line. As he walked to the counter (柜台), all the waiters began smiling. He placed the box of donuts on the count er and said, “These are for you and other workers.” At once, the mood (气氛 ) in the restaurant changed. This single act of kindness made the customers, the waiters, the kids and even me think when was the last time we did something nice for a stranger.

They live in the forests. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 9 There are only a few Sri Lankan elephants (a kind of Asian elephant) in the world now. Tigers belong to (属于) the cat family. They get small animals like deer for food. Tigers are in danger because people cut down the forests and hunt them. People hunt (猎杀) them for their beautiful fur (皮毛) . In the past, there were many tigers in India, but today there are only a few of them. The European otter (水獭) lives in Europe. It has soft, brown fur. It is about 75 centimeters long.

Every morning on school days, a lot of students take the school bus to school. It is nothing new to see those big yellow buses driving around. However, school buses were unusual in the past. In 1886, the first school transportation (交通工具) came into use, but it was called a “school hack”. It was a kind of horse-drawn carriage (四轮马车) and did not look like a bus. Between 1900 and 1930, the horse-drawn carriages became wooden (木质的) buses. Finally, in 1930, wooden buses became metal (金属的) ones. Now the school bus wears a special colour—yellow. Many people ask why it’s yellow. The answer is to make people notice the bus. People can easily see this colour on the road, especially on rainy days. By making the school buses the yellow colour, people can see these buses on the road more easily to make students much safer. Today, for many students, taking the school bus is their first choice of transportation. So it is safe to say that school buses are a popular and important way of school transportation. 33．According to the passage, how many kinds of school transportation were there in the past? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 34．Why do the school buses wear the colour yellow? A．To make the buses beautiful. B．To make people love the buses. C．To make the buses different.

A．How school buses develop (发展) B．How most students go to school C．How to take the school bus D．How to notice students on the road Passage 10 People in Denmark have happy lives. Why? Because they know the secret ( 秘 密 ) to happiness—“hygge”. “Hygge” is a special way of life. Danish people often use the word to describe the way they spend long and cold winter days. With almost 17 hours of darkness every day in winter, they spend more time indoors. At that time, Danish people often get together for a meal or hot drinks. After winter, when it’s not so cold, “hygge” can be picnics in the park, parties in the garden and outdoor 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 11 movie nights. However, playing on your phone at home all day is the least “hygge” thing. TV is okay, but you’d better ask some friends to watch movies with you, as staying together is another key part of being “hygge”. For Danish people, lighting candles (点 蜡 烛 ) is the most important part of creating an environment (环境) of “hygge” at home. They light more candles each year than any other European country. In a word, “hygge” is about creating a warm environment and enjoying the little simple things in life. By making some small changes to your life, you can practice this way wherever you are. 37．Which of the followings are ways of “hygge”? ①Having a meal with family ②Having a picnic in the park ③Playing computer games alone ④Playing on the phone at home ⑤Holding a party in the garden A．①②③⑤ B．①③④⑤ C．①②④⑤ D．②③④⑤ 38．Why do Danish people light a lot of candles each year?

During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some food. After the first week, I noticed that the food was eaten up (吃光 ) very quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my mum. To my surprise, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper bag and go out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend a lot of time talking and playing with them. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 12 One day, I talked to a neighbour and found out that my mum was famous in the area. The children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as their own mother. Then it hit me—why wouldn’t she want to tell me about it? Was she worried that I would stop buying food if I found out? When my mum got home, I gave her a big hug (拥抱) . I told her she didn’t need to keep it a secret from me. And she told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old lady in a small house. Others slept on the street. For years, she was helping the poor street children by giving them food. After she told me everything, I was so moved by how selfless (无私的) she was. She helped others in need. As her son, I was so proud of my mum. I continued (继续) to buy food for my mum after that.

It can help you to develop a healthy attitude (态 度). A study shows that the people who are more confident are much happier. They can have more chances to make themselves successful. But how to be more confident? Here are some suggestions: Speak loud. When you are not confident, you can’t do well what you want to do.

It starts from the Beginning of Spring and ends with the Greater Cold, moving in cycles. It is still useful today to guide people’s lives through special foods, cultural ceremonies and even healthy living tips. Grain Buds (小满) is the 8th solar term of a year. It means that the seeds (种子) from the grain are becoming full. During the Grain Buds, summer harvest is about to begin. A saying about rain during this time mentions, “A heavy rainfall makes the river full.” Because of the great increase in rainfall, rivers are full of water. This is a good time to enjoy fish. It is also the harvest season for fishermen. Frost’s Descent (霜降), the 18th solar term of the year, is the last solar term of autumn, during which time the weather becomes much colder than before and frost begins to appear. The apple is one kind of the recommended (推荐的) fruit during Frost’s Descent. There are many sayings about apples’ benefits (益处) in China, such as “Eat an apple after meals, even old men can be as strong as 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 14 young men.” Minor Cold (小寒) is the 23rd one. For most areas of China, it marks the start of the coldest days of the year and people always start preparing for the New Year. According to traditional Chinese medicine thoughts, people need to eat food that has more yang energy to prevent cold from harming their bodies. Another important traditional food for Minor Cold is Laba porridge (腊八粥). 49．________ is the last solar term of a year.

The drone was built by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC, 中国航空工业集团有限公司). Drones have been used for quite a few years now. There are different ways of increasing the flying time. However, all these methods become less useful compared with the unlimited (无限的) power provided by the Sun. That’s why researchers have been working to make solar-powered drones that can not only stay in the air for longer but also perform more tasks while in the sky. In 2018, China tested the first version (版本) of Morning Star, which was 91 feet wide. Made from a special kind of plastic, the drone was so light, weighing only 41 pounds. Compared with it, the Morning Star 50 is much larger and has a wingspan (翼展) of 164 feet. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 15 On September 3, Morning Star 50 took off from an airport in Yulin City in the Shaanxi province in northwest China and landed back 26 minutes later after a smooth flight. Staff told some local reporters that all flight systems worked normally. This is a good start for future flights of the solar-powered drone that could last for many days or even months at a time. In the US, Airbus has been testing the Zephyr solar-powered drones for the past few years. Its latest version, the Zephyr S, came close to breaking the record for the longest flight. It stayed in the air for 64 days. Unluckily, the drone fell onto the ground only a few hours before it would have set a new record. 53．Which one is an advantage of solar-powered drones researchers want? A．They’re cheaper than others. B．They can fly in bad weather. C．They fly at a higher speed. D．They can stay in the air for longer. 54．What made the first version of Morning Star light? A．Its look. B．Its material. C．The power it uses. D．The tasks it performs. 55．What did the staff think of the Morning Star 50’s test flight? A．It was simple. B．It was successful. C．It was unexpected. D．It was dangerous. 56．What’s the main purpose of the text? A．To compare different drones. B．To report a drone’s test flight. C．To discuss drones’ future. D．To tell the importance of drones.

It is a little strange, right? But that’s what some wildlife scientists are doing. Katie Martin is one of them. She studies mother bears with babies. Then, she matches them with baby bears without mums. To learn more about the baby bears, Martin puts collars (项圈 ) on them. The collars help her track (追踪 ) the bears’ movements and gather some important information. Then she can know if foster (代养的) mums look after the poor babies. Martin usually waits for a rainy, cold day to do the thing. She places a baby bear near the foster mum’s home quietly. The cold air makes the baby cry. When the mother bear hears it, she may pity the baby and bring it home. “It’s the best way for the baby bears to learn how to be a bear,” Martin said. “The foster mums can teach them how to look for food and climb trees.” Sometimes, people find baby bears alone in the forest and they take them home. Martin said, “That’s the worst thing to do. This is because the mother bear always comes back.” Martin has helped almost 20 bear babies find foster mums. She checked a baby bear she placed last winter. “It looked good and healthy. That was a true success,” she said. 61．The wildlife scientists like Katie Martin do the strange thing ________.

Passage 18 Finland (芬兰 ) is one of the world’s happiest countries, according to a survey. This may be a surprise for you because Finland is famous for its cold winter and short daylight. In fact, if you learn more about the people’s life there, you will find the answer. In Finland, many people often go to the library.“The library is an important part of life for the people here,” Halsas said. “They might do schoolwork there or just read.

Finns love saunas (桑拿浴 ) and almost every home has one. “There are many saunas. In the summertime, I go every day,” Halsas said. Having saunas is quite good for our health, such as making our heart healthier. The people of Finland also love exploring (探索 ) the outdoors, such as going hiking or biking.“There is a lot of natural scenery (风景) to enjoy and even some private lands are open to the visitor,” Halsas said.In winter, life doesn’t change too much because Finns are never afraid of the cold.

Chip is artistic and takes chances with his projects. Hank likes Chip. But when their teacher asked them to work on a book report together, Hank was unhappy. “I think we should do the book report like a show,” Chip said. He was very excited to work with Hank, because Hank always got good grades. “But it is not a show,” Hank reminded him. “It is a book report. We have to write it down.” “We will write it down,” Chip said. “But instead of reading it in front of the class, we will act it out! We can present(展示)the book report like it’s a play. Or maybe we can sing it!” Hank did not want to sing his book report. That evening he told his parents about Chip. “I do not want to work with Chip,” Hank said. “I don’t think Chip understands what a book report is.” “Your teacher told you to work with Chip, and that is what you must do,” Hank’s father said. “This task is not just about reading a book and writing a report. It is about working with someone else to get a job done, even if you have differences.” The next day, as soon as Hank walked into the classroom, Chip came up to him. “I have an idea!” Chip cried out. “Let’s draw our book report like a comic(连环画)!” Hank was not sure about this idea. But he remembered what his father said. “We will read the book and talk about it together, and decide what we want to say,” Chip said. “Then you will say some of it with words, and I will say some of it with pictures!” 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 21 The boys worked on their book report all week.

All of these aspects together can make learning a foreign language very difficult. But there are some points that might make it easier, and more fun. First, don’t worry too much about pronouncing words the wrong way. Pronunciation is important, of course. It helps the listener to understand what is said more clearly. However, the most important step in learning a new language is to practice speaking it. Like learning any new skill (技能), practice makes perfect. And when you practice speaking the new language, the native speaker (说本族语的 人) usually thinks highly of your hard work and is ready to help improve your pronunciation. Second, don’t be afraid to guess the meaning of what someone says. There will be a lot of words to learn while studying a foreign language. In fact, there are tens of thousands of different words in English. And a word may have more than one meaning. The same goes with any other language. It is impossible to know all the words and all the meanings. Use clues (提示) to guess the meaning of what others say. When meeting a person that says “Hola” and waves his or her hand, one might guess that the person is giving a greeting. It is not important at that moment to know the exact meaning. With more practice of guessing the meaning of new words, your vocabulary will increase. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 22 Third, don’t lose hope. Learning a new language always takes time. Many will give up learning because learning all of the rules of another language is too hard or boring. Some may think that other people will make fun of them for making mistakes. But it’s OK to make mistakes. Nobody is perfect, after all. Don’t give up and keep trying. In the end, learning a new language can be difficult, but remember that it can have great benefits (益处). Learning a new language doesn’t just mean the ability to speak in that different language. It can also include making new friends, experiencing new adventures in a different culture, and tasting new foods! 76．What can we learn from the passage?
