Sharing your feelings helps you to get closer to people you care about and who care about you. Sometimes it can be really hard not to tell anyone that you're feeling sad, worried, or upset. Don't keep feelings locked inside. If that, it can even make you feel sick! But if you talk with someone who cares for you, like your mom or dad, you will not be all alone with your problems or worries. It doesn't mean your problems and worries go off, but at least someone else knows what your trouble is and can help you find ways to do with it. If the person doesn't understand what you mean right away, try explaining it in a different way or give an example that has something to do with you. Of course, there are many ways for you to speak up your feelings. If you think you'll have trouble saying what's on your mind, write it down on a piece of paper. Some of us, just like some adults, are more private（有隐私的） than others. That means some people will feel shy about sharing their feelings. A kid doesn't have to share every feeling he or she has, but it is important to share feelings when a kid needs help. （1）The passage is mainly for .

It can run faster than most other animals and it can hunt better. The lion is the highest animal in the land food chain. In the sea the shark is at the top of the food chain. It can swim faster than most other sea animals. It can also use its big teeth to catch other sea animals and eat them. What is at the top of the world's food chain? Humans are! We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are the cleverest. We could not run faster than most animals, so we invented cars and now we can move the fastest. We could not fight better than lions, so we invented guns. Now we can hunt the best. People's inventions are clever, but they can be dangerous too. For example, many years ago, in Inner Mongolia, people used guns to kill a lot of wild wolves. The wild wolves usually eat wild rabbits. But in recent years, the number of wild rabbits is becoming bigger and bigger because the a number of wild wolves is getting smaller and smaller. The wild rabbits competed for the grass with the sheep and cows. Much of the grassland became desert because it was seriously destroyed by the rabbits.

As they use digital technology too much, they are losing their ability to do simple things. They can't make toys themselves with hands or help Mum cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with others. "I have talked with a number of teachers. They care about the increasing numbers of young pupils who can play with computers or smart phones, but have few or no skills to make things." said a teacher, Colin Kinney. "Many pupils can't communicate with other pupils but their parents talk proudly of their ability to use a computer or a smart phone." Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and quietly play on a tablet (平板电脑)on weekends and after school. How can a child grow up to be a very good artist if he doesn't learn how to use a paintbrush and develop his painting skill?  How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older if he doesn't learn to communicate with others at a young age? Digital technology can be used for good or bad. We can use a stone to either break a window or build a house. We shouldn′t blame the children. We should help them make right choices. It is certainly necessary for children to know how to use digital technology in today's world, but what is more important, we should encourage them to develop social abilities which will do them good when they grow up. 1. What's the worst problem that is mentioned in the first paragraph? A. Children can't make things themselves. B. Children make too many friends online. C. Children don't want to communicate with others. D. Children don't like helping Mum cook meals at home. 2. According to Colin Kinney, which of the following is TRUE? A. Teachers don't notice that young pupils have few skills to make things. B. Many parents are very happy that their kids can use digital technology. C. Many teachers don't care if young pupils can play computers or tablets. D. Some parents are worried that their kids use digital technology too much. 3. What do many young children choose to do on weekends and after school? A. To play on a tablet indoors.             B. To paint with their paintbrushes. C. To play with other children.             D. To make friends with other children. 4. What does the underlined word "blame" mean in Chinese? A. 表扬 B. 原谅 C. 评价 D. 责怪 5. What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A. It's very important for children to have social skills. B. It's very helpful for children to do some housework. C. It's necessary for parents to learn to use digital technology. D.

Whenever he took the chair on the exam committee (委员会), the students would be in fear, for he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. At the end of the term, the students of medicine would take their exam again. Now a student entered the room and got seated before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all. The professor began to ask. The student was required to describe a certain illness, his description of which turned out to be OK. Then the professor asked about the cure (治疗) for illness, and the student also answered just as right. “Good,” said the professor, “and how much will you give the patient?” “A full spoon,” answered the student. “Now you may go out and wait for what you can get,” said the professor. At the same time the committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer. “A full spoon is too much,” he thought to himself. Anxiously, he opened the door of the room and cried, “Mr. Professor, I’ve made a mistake! A spoon is too much for the patient, He can take only five drops.” “I’m sorry, sir,” said the professor coldly, “but it’s too late. Your patient has died.” 6. The passage is mainly about _________. A. the student’s being poor at answering the questions B. the professor’s rude behavior to the students C. the professor’s strictness with the students D. the committee’s hard questions for the students 7. The student who finished his answers was asked to go out _____. A. to cure a patient B. to wait for his mark C. to think over his answers D. to ask someone else to go in 8.

According to the passage, ‘taking the chair’ probably refers to ______. A. sitting down on the chair B. take a chair in front C. asking the hardest questions D. controlling the exam 10.

Your patient has died.”教授生气的说，“那个病人已经死了”看出，教授很生气，不会给学生高分了。答案选B。 阅读理解 13 The Sydney Opera House is one of the most famous landmarks (地标) in Australia. This summer holiday, I got the chance to visit it and find out what makes this building so great. As our guide told us, the Sydney Opera House was built with a kind of self-cleaning material that is very rare even today. First, we visited the Drama Hall. We learned about the designer of the Sydney Opera House—Danish architect Jorn Utzon. He was the winner of an international design competition. However, he designed the building according to his own tastes, which caused several problems. The project was completed 10 years late. The cost of construction (建造) was over budget (预算). Utzon didn’t get to see it after it was built. Then, we visited Joan Sutherland Theatre. The theater was refurbished (翻新) in 2017 with new high-tech equipment. There was a rehearsal (排练) that day, so we could hear the beautiful sound of the orchestra. Finally, we arrived at the largest theater—Concert Hall. It has hosted many kinds of performances, from classical to rock music. A few years ago, a sports event was even held there. Before we finished the tour, the guide told us the rest of Utzon’s story. In 1966, Utzon had an argument with the government and refused to give in. He had to leave the country. It was a hard time in his life. But many years later, people understood him and saw the building as a masterpiece. From this tour, I learned that the opera house is not only a famous building, but a carrier of history and culture. 6. Which is the correct order of the author’s trip to the Sydney Opera House? A.

Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find a good place to live. I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of places can give a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories. “We didn’t stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.” I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for “holidays” is “vacations”. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. Actually, this means “no free rooms”. As a result, they stayed at hotels! We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole. English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris when the waiter was going to offer me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise, the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you.” 6. My Spanish friends wanted advice about ________. A. learning English                        B. finding places to stay in England C. driving their car on English roads          D. going to England by car 7. I suggested that they stay at “bed and breakfast” houses because ________.

The truth of a smile is that it’s like a seed that can grow in a garden called “life”. If there is one thing I have missed the most is the past 3 years, it is to see other people smile. When every face has a mask (口罩) on it, you might feel safer. But your mind might start to feel sick. Over these last months, I’ve learned to notice the “stars” in people’s eyes that they still have when they smile from behind a mask. Still, it isn’t quite the same. Every smile is like a gift. As I grow up, my mom’s smile always warms my heart. I am so happy that it appears on the faces of my children. My grandparents’ smile always has a happy “Hello!” along with it. My dad hardly smiles to us, but I always loved seeing it. Over the years, I have also learned a lot about smiles. I have read that “We don’t smile because we are happy. We are happy because we smile.” I also read that “I have never seen a smiling face that wasn’t beautiful.” And I know that both of these things were true. What I remember most, though, is something from my teacher. He said, “If nobody wants us to be happy, why does smiling feel so good?” It doesn’t matter is you are wearing a mask or not. It doesn’t matter if your teeth are white or not. Show the world your smile. Smiles share our love. Smiles spread our joy. Smilles make the world’s better place. One of the greatest, kindness and most loving things you can do is to give another person your smile. 8. What does the writer tell us in Paragraph 2? A. Smile with “stars” in our eyes, or we’ll feel sick. B. The more we smile, the more happiness we’ll get. C. A smiling face behind a mask is different but happy. D. We can bring out the best to make our friend smile. 9. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A Mom’s smile B. Grandma’s smile. C. Dad’s smile D. Grandpa’s smile 10. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 11. What can we learn from the passage? A. Smile to yourself every morning. B. It’s meaningless to smile with a mask. C. Never show your smile to strangers. D. Try to share your smile with the world. 【答案】8. C    9. C    10. A    11. D 【解析】本文主要讲述微笑在生活中的重要性。 8.推理判断题。根据“I’ve learned to notice the ‘stars’ in people’s eyes that they still have when they smile from behind a mask. Still, it isn’t quite the same”可知，被口罩遮住的脸庞上的微笑与之前是不一样的，但仍然是开心的，故选C。 9.词义猜测题。根据“My dad hardly smiles to us, but I always loved seeing it”可知，喜欢看到爸爸脸上的微笑，所以it指代Dad’s smile，故选C。 10.篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段概括微笑的作用；第二段至第四段是作者结合自己的经历讲述微笑在生活中的重要性，最后一段概括总结，故选A。 11.推理判断题。根据“Show the world your smile. Smiles share our love. Smiles spread our joy. Smilles make the world’s better place. One of the greatest, kindness and most loving things you can do is to give another person your smile”可知，要跟这个世界分享我们的微笑，故选D。 阅读理解 19 Jackson Mann, aged 15， is passionate(充满热情的）about protecting the world's endangered animals.

The number of the travelers to Tibet has grown by 10% every year for a few years. Since July 1, 2006, when the first train ran 1956 kilometers from Xining to Lhasa, more and more people have been going to Tibet. The train stops at several famous places along the way, such as Qinghai Lake, Kunlun Mountain, and the Potala Palace. Passengers can also enjoy many activities during the journey, like Tibetan dancing and Karaoke. On the train, passengers can have tea, eggs and noodles for breakfast, and fried chicken and green vegetables for lunch and dinner. Unlike most Chinese trains which have open-hole toilets, this one has special toilets which can collect the waste. There is also a special rubbish system(系统) in the train that keeps the environment clean. All the windows on the train can protect people from the bright sunlight. TV and electrical sockets(插座) for computers and mobile phones can be found on the train. Because there isn’t much oxygen there, trains will have oxygen masks(氧气罩) for those who need them. It makes passengers feel more comfortable when they have enough oxygen on the famous “roof of the world”. There are also doctors on the train to make sure that all of the travelers are safe. 35．This year 20,000 people visit Tibet, so next year ________ tourists will come to Tibet.

Sharing your feelings helps you to get closer to people you care about and who care about you. Sometimes it can be really hard not to tell anyone that you're feeling sad, worried, or upset. Don't keep feelings locked inside. If that, it can even make you feel sick! But if you talk with someone who cares for you, like your mom or dad, you will not be all alone with your problems or worries. It doesn't mean your problems and worries go off, but at least someone else knows what your trouble is and can help you find ways to do with it. If the person doesn't understand what you mean right away, try explaining it in a different way or give an example that has something to do with you. Of course, there are many ways for you to speak up your feelings. If you think you'll have trouble saying what's on your mind, write it down on a piece of paper. Some of us, just like some adults, are more private（有隐私的） than others. That means some people will feel shy about sharing their feelings. A kid doesn't have to share every feeling he or she has, but it is important to share feelings when a kid needs help. （1）The passage is mainly for .

As they use digital technology too much, they are losing their ability to do simple things. They can't make toys themselves with hands or help Mum cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with others. "I have talked with a number of teachers. They care about the increasing numbers of young pupils who can play with computers or smart phones, but have few or no skills to make things." said a teacher, Colin Kinney. "Many pupils can't communicate with other pupils but their parents talk proudly of their ability to use a computer or a smart phone." Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and quietly play on a tablet (平板电脑)on weekends and after school. How can a child grow up to be a very good artist if he doesn't learn how to use a paintbrush and develop his painting skill?  How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older if he doesn't learn to communicate with others at a young age? Digital technology can be used for good or bad. We can use a stone to either break a window or build a house. We shouldn′t blame the children. We should help them make right choices. It is certainly necessary for children to know how to use digital technology in today's world, but what is more important, we should encourage them to develop social abilities which will do them good when they grow up. 1. What's the worst problem that is mentioned in the first paragraph? A. Children can't make things themselves. B. Children make too many friends online. C. Children don't want to communicate with others. D. Children don't like helping Mum cook meals at home. 2. According to Colin Kinney, which of the following is TRUE? A. Teachers don't notice that young pupils have few skills to make things. B. Many parents are very happy that their kids can use digital technology. C. Many teachers don't care if young pupils can play computers or tablets. D. Some parents are worried that their kids use digital technology too much. 3. What do many young children choose to do on weekends and after school? A. To play on a tablet indoors.             B. To paint with their paintbrushes. C. To play with other children.             D. To make friends with other children. 4. What does the underlined word "blame" mean in Chinese? A. 表扬 B. 原谅 C. 评价 D. 责怪 5. What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A. It's very important for children to have social skills. B. It's very helpful for children to do some housework. C. It's necessary for parents to learn to use digital technology. D. It's difficult for teachers to make right choices for their pupils. 【答案】1. C    2. B    3. A    4. D   5.

Whenever he took the chair on the exam committee (委员会), the students would be in fear, for he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. At the end of the term, the students of medicine would take their exam again. Now a student entered the room and got seated before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all. The professor began to ask. The student was required to describe a certain illness, his description of which turned out to be OK. Then the professor asked about the cure (治疗) for illness, and the student also answered just as right. “Good,” said the professor, “and how much will you give the patient?” “A full spoon,” answered the student. “Now you may go out and wait for what you can get,” said the professor. At the same time the committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer. “A full spoon is too much,” he thought to himself.

This summer holiday, I got the chance to visit it and find out what makes this building so great. As our guide told us, the Sydney Opera House was built with a kind of self-cleaning material that is very rare even today. First, we visited the Drama Hall. We learned about the designer of the Sydney Opera House—Danish architect Jorn Utzon. He was the winner of an international design competition. However, he designed the building according to his own tastes, which caused several problems. The project was completed 10 years late. The cost of construction (建造) was over budget (预算). Utzon didn’t get to see it after it was built. Then, we visited Joan Sutherland Theatre. The theater was refurbished (翻新) in 2017 with new high-tech equipment. There was a rehearsal (排练) that day, so we could hear the beautiful sound of the orchestra. Finally, we arrived at the largest theater—Concert Hall. It has hosted many kinds of performances, from classical to rock music. A few years ago, a sports event was even held there. Before we finished the tour, the guide told us the rest of Utzon’s story. In 1966, Utzon had an argument with the government and refused to give in. He had to leave the country. It was a hard time in his life. But many years later, people understood him and saw the building as a masterpiece. From this tour, I learned that the opera house is not only a famous building, but a carrier of history and culture. 6. Which is the correct order of the author’s trip to the Sydney Opera House? A.

Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find a good place to live. I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of places can give a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories. “We didn’t stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.” I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for “holidays” is “vacations”. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. Actually, this means “no free rooms”. As a result, they stayed at hotels! We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole. English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris when the waiter was going to offer me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise, the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you.” 6. My Spanish friends wanted advice about ________. A. learning English                        B. finding places to stay in England C. driving their car on English roads          D. going to England by car 7. I suggested that they stay at “bed and breakfast” houses because ________.

The truth of a smile is that it’s like a seed that can grow in a garden called “life”. If there is one thing I have missed the most is the past 3 years, it is to see other people smile. When every face has a mask (口罩) on it, you might feel safer. But your mind might start to feel sick. Over these last months, I’ve learned to notice the “stars” in people’s eyes that they still have when they smile from behind a mask. Still, it isn’t quite the same. Every smile is like a gift. As I grow up, my mom’s smile always warms my heart. I am so happy that it appears on the faces of my children. My grandparents’ smile always has a happy “Hello!” along with it. My dad hardly smiles to us, but I always loved seeing it. Over the years, I have also learned a lot about smiles. I have read that “We don’t smile because we are happy. We are happy because we smile.” I also read that “I have never seen a smiling face that wasn’t beautiful.” And I know that both of these things were true. What I remember most, though, is something from my teacher. He said, “If nobody wants us to be happy, why does smiling feel so good?” It doesn’t matter is you are wearing a mask or not. It doesn’t matter if your teeth are white or not. Show the world your smile. Smiles share our love. Smiles spread our joy. Smilles make the world’s better place. One of the greatest, kindness and most loving things you can do is to give another person your smile. 8. What does the writer tell us in Paragraph 2? A. Smile with “stars” in our eyes, or we’ll feel sick. B. The more we smile, the more happiness we’ll get. C. A smiling face behind a mask is different but happy. D. We can bring out the best to make our friend smile. 9. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A Mom’s smile B. Grandma’s smile. C. Dad’s smile D. Grandpa’s smile 10. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 11. What can we learn from the passage? A. Smile to yourself every morning. B. It’s meaningless to smile with a mask. C. Never show your smile to strangers. D. Try to share your smile with the world. 【答案】8. C    9. C    10. A    11. D 【解析】本文主要讲述微笑在生活中的重要性。 8.推理判断题。根据“I’ve learned to notice the ‘stars’ in people’s eyes that they still have when they smile from behind a mask. Still, it isn’t quite the same”可知，被口罩遮住的脸庞上的微笑与之前是不一样的，但仍然是开心的，故选C。 9.词义猜测题。根据“My dad hardly smiles to us, but I always loved seeing it”可知，喜欢看到爸爸脸上的微笑，所以it指代Dad’s smile，故选C。 10.篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段概括微笑的作用；第二段至第四段是作者结合自己的经历讲述微笑在生活中的重要性，最后一段概括总结，故选A。 11.推理判断题。根据“Show the world your smile. Smiles share our love. Smiles spread our joy. Smilles make the world’s better place. One of the greatest, kindness and most loving things you can do is to give another person your smile”可知，要跟这个世界分享我们的微笑，故选D。 阅读理解 19 Jackson Mann, aged 15， is passionate(充满热情的）about protecting the world's endangered animals. Working with the World Wide Fund for Nature(WWF), he's created a card game—Save Our Species (SOS). It helps to educate people about animals that are in danger. Jackson had the idea for the game on a trip to Central America.“We were seeing a lot of wildlife(野生动物）and playing many card games,”he said. "We thought kids enjoy playing football cards and other cards. If they could play wildlife cards as well. we could raise their awareness(意识) of protecting animals.” Jackson's favorite animal is the African wild dogs which he saw on a journey. There are fewer than 1,500 of them left in the world. He said,“We spent four days on that journey but didn't see any of wild dogs. Luckily, on the last day, we were the only passengers to see them on the ground.” Since then, Jackson has added the African wild dog to his card game. He is planning to create other versions(版本)of the game so that he can call on more people to learn about the need to take care of endangered animals. All the money raised by SOS will be given away for protection of endangered animals. Since it came out on July 8,more than 400 games have been sold, and Jackson raised more than £11.700 for wildlife charities（慈善组织）. 1.Jackson created the card game SOS to_____. A. work with WWF B. make money for a living C.help himself to develop hobbies D.let people know about endangered animals 2.Which paragraph introduces how Jackson got the idea of creating SOS? A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2. C. Paragraph 3. D. Paragraph 4. 3.Why did Jackson choose to add the African wild dog to his card game? A. Because his favorite animal is the African wild dog. B. Because he was one of the passengers to see African wild dogs. C. Because very few of African wild dogs can be found in the world. D. Because he had a good time with African wild dogs on his journey. 4.What will the money raised by SOS be used to do? A. Produce more cards. B. Build wildlife charities. C. Protect animals in danger. D. Help Jackson create more games. 5.Which of the following can best describe Jackson? A. Creative. B. Humorous.C. Lovely. D. Outgoing. 答案详析 1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“It helps to educate people about animals that are in danger.”可知，Jackson设计 SOS 这款纸牌游戏是为了让人们了解濒危动物，故选D项。 2.B推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知，Jackson 在去中美洲的旅途中见到了很多野生动物，玩了很多纸牌游戏。他由此想到：孩子们喜欢玩足球纸牌和其他纸牌游戏,如果这些孩子们也能玩野生动物纸牌游戏,他就能提高孩子们保护动物的意识。由此可推知，第二段介绍了Jackson设计 SOS 这款纸牌游戏的灵感来源。 3.C推理判断题。上文提到Jackson设计 SOS这款纸牌游戏的目的是让人们了解濒危动物；再根据第三段中 Jackson说的话“There are fewer than 1.500 of them left in the world.”可知，世界上只剩下不到1500只非洲野狗。由此推测，Jackson把它添加到纸牌游戏中，是因为非洲野狗也属于濒危动物，现存数量非常少。 4.C细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“All the money raised by SOS will be given away for protection of endangered animals.”可知,SOS这款纸牌游戏募集来的钱都将被捐赠以保护 濒危动物。 5.A 推理判断题。通读全文可知，为了引起孩子们对濒危动物的重视，Jackson将濒危动物融入了孩子们常玩的纸牌游戏中。由此可推知，他是一个很有创造力的人。 阅读理解 20 British scientist Cathie Martin has been working on developing purple tomatoes for years. Though the color is unusual, what's really special about the tomatoes is that they have a lot of antioxidants（抗氧化剂）. Antioxidants are found naturally in plants like blueberries,blackberries,and red cabbage. Scientists believe antioxidants may help prevent（预防）heart disease and help fight off diseases like diabetes(糖尿病).But tomatoes naturally only have a little antioxidants in them. Dr. Martin wanted to see if she could create tomatoes with lots of antioxidants by changing the DNA of a tomato plant. A plant developed from specially created DNA is known as a GMO(转基因生物）.GMO plants are different because the plants' DNA has been changed by scientists.Scientists who do this usually think they are improving the plants in some ways.Dr. Martin succeeded. Her plants produced small purple tomatoes with lots of antioxidants. Even better.the tomatoes stayed fresh almost twice as long as normal tomatoes. In recent years, Dr. Martin has been working with the USDA(美国农业部) to get permission to grow and sell the purple tomatoes in the US. On September 7, 2022,the USDA approved(批准) the purple tomatoes. Dr. Martin plans to introduce the tomatoes at farmers markets across the US in 2023. 1.What's the difference between purple tomatoes and normal tomatoes? A. Normal tomatoes taste better than purple ones. B. Normal tomatoes can be kept longer than purple ones. C. Purple tomatoes are more expensive than normal ones. D. Purple tomatoes have more antioxidants than normal ones. 2.What can we know from Paragraph 2? A. Antioxidants may improve human health. B. The normal tomatoes are high in antioxidants. C. Heart disease can be treated with antioxidants. D. Antioxidants cannot be found in blueberries. 3.How did Dr. Martin create the purple tomatoes? A. By planting the plants on unusual farms. B.By providing the plants with special water. C. By making changes to the DNA of a tomato plant. D. By putting antioxidants into normal tomato plants. 4.What does the underlined word“permission"mean in Chinese? A.许可 B.赞助C.指导 D.推广 5.The passage most probably comes from the part of a newspaper. A. Health B.Science C. Lifestyle D.Environment 答案详析 1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Though the color is unusual,what's really special about the tomatoes is that they have a lot of antioxidants.”可知，这种紫番茄真正的特殊之处在于它们含有很多抗氧化剂；再结合第二段最后一句可知，天然番茄的抗氧化剂含量很低，故选D项。 2. A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Scientists believe antioxidants may help prevent heart disease and help fight off diseases like diabetes.”可知，科学家们认为抗氧化剂可能有助于预防心脏病，抵抗糖尿病等疾病。由此可推知，抗氧化剂可能会改善人体健康。 3.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Dr.Martin wanted to see if she could create tomatoes with lots of antioxidants by changing the DNA of a tomato plant.”及“Dr. Martin succeeded.”可知，Martin博士是通过改变番茄植株的DNA来创造出紫色番茄的。 4.A词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的下一句“On September 7,2022,the USDA approved the purple tomatoes.”可知，2022年9月7日,美国农业部批准了这种紫色番茄。结合语境可知，此处指近年来，Martin博士一直在与美国农业部合作，以获得在美国种植和销售这种紫色番茄的许可。故推测 permission意为“许可”。 5.B 推理判断题。通读全文可知，Martin 博士通过基因改造技术培育出了紫色番茄,这种紫色番茄保质期长并且含有大量的抗氧化剂。由此可推知，本文最有可能摘自报纸的科学部分，故选B项。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！17 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
