C In the story Snow White, the queen decides to kill Snow White forever with an apple filled with deadly poisons(毒药). Thanks to seven helpful small men and a handsome prince, Snow White gets well again, and everyone lives happily ever after But the queen didn't need to go to all that trouble. In fact, apples and many common fruits we eat are already poisonous (有毒的)! But don't be afraid. The yummy part won't harm you. It's only the seeds you need to avoid The apple tree belongs to a plant family called Rosaceae(薇科). This group also include peaches, plums and cherries. There is a chemical (化学物质) called amygdalin(苦杏仁苷) in the seeds of all these fruits. Inside an animal's stomach, amygdalin turns into cyanide which car make people and animals very sick, or even kill them Still, don't worry if you eat a few apple seeds by accident. Each seed has only a very smal amount of poison. You'd have to eat plenty of seeds to feel any effect. And you'd need to chew (咀 嚼) them well-the hard, shiny shells of apple seeds keep the poison locked inside Unchewed seeds usually pass right through and come out whole in your poop. But cows and other animals often chew up seeds with the fruit, so they can get sick Why would trees make poisonous seeds? To make themselves safe! Amygdalin tastes terrible. It's also found in leaves and other parts of fruit trees. If a deer or a cow chews on apple leaves, it gets a terrible taste and an upset stomach. Animals soon learn to leave those trees alone Thanks, amygdalin! Mirror mirror, on the wall, who's the cleverest fruit of all? You, my apple! 英语 第5页(共12页) 48.

You're alive!" he shouted “Yes, uncle,"I said weakly He took me into his arms, and cried out with joy: "Oh! You don't know how worried I was my boy! I thought we'd lost you!"

E ①An old saying used for forecasting (预报) the weather goes, "Red sky at nightfall, sailors delight. Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning," Is the saying true? It turns out that it is. ②A red sky at sunset may mean there are clear skies to the west, where the sun sets. A red sky at sunrise usualy means that the clear weather has already passed, so storms might be coming. ③Forecasting the weather has been practiced for thousands of years. In the 5th century BC the Greeks sent out forecasts to sailors. They used signs in nature to forecast the weather. But today, meteorologists(气象 学家) send exact forecasts further in advance. They use scientific instruments to study weather conditions around the world and make forecasts ④△ Pilots, farmers and many other people depend on these forecasts. Luckily, most of us can simply look on the smartphone or turn on the TV to find out what kind of weather is coming. If you are looking for some signs of the weather, pay attention to nature. There are two 英语 第7页(共12页) basic rules used in weather forecasting: weather generally moves from west to east, and low air pressure usually means rain or snow. Nature offers many clues (线索) for us to predict the weather. For example, if rainbows form in the west at sunrise, the sun is on the way. Smell the flowers - their smells are stronge in wet air. What are the ants doing? Are they moving to higher ground? This could mean a dro in air pressure, Are the birds flying low or high? Falling air pressure may influence birds' ears so they fly low. And if the sky is red at sunset, you might plan a picnic for the next day! 56. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph I probably mean? A.有雨山戴帽,无雨云拦腰。 B. 朝霞不出门,晚霞行千里。 C. 日晕三更雨,月晕午时风。 D. 蚂蚁搬家蛇过道,大雨不久就来到。 57. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about weather forecasting? A. The old saying about the red sky has no value in modern weather forecasting. B. Meteorologists today forecast the weather like the Greeks did in ancient times C. People can predict the weather by looking for different kinds of natural signs D. Weather forecasting started recently and is mainly done through smartphones and TV 58. Which of the following sentences can be put in"△"? A. Modern technology has changed our life a lot.' B. Weather forecasts play an important role in life C Weather changes are too hard to make predictions. D People have different ways to deal with bad weather 59.

For a very long time, I thought that "new" books were better than "old" ones. I used to look at Douban Bestseller(畅销书) List in my free time every week so that I could choose some new books to read and be "up to date" with "moderm" writers However, I realize "new" doesn't always mean"good". I haven't read a'new" book o looked at Douban Bestseller List for a long time, lnstead, I prefer the books that were writter 英语 第9页(共12页) hundreds or even thousands of years ago. For example, I enjoy reading Four Books and Five Classics which were writen before the Qin Dynasty. These books are proved(证明) to have long-lasting value. In thc past, nobody would be considered well-educated unless they could memorize these classics. Even today, students are encouraged to read The Analecls(《论语》)at school. There are also newer classics, such as The Dream of the Red Chamber(《红楼梦》) and The Outlaws ofthe Marsh((水浒传》:), which are both treasures of Chinese literature. They not only hold important positions in the history of Chinese literature but also have a great influence or worid hterature, continuing to be widely read and studied now Besides the classics of Chinese literature, I also like Western classics. I have read The llad (《伊利亚特》 )by the Greek poet Homer, which was written almost three thousand years ago and shows us all the good and bad aualities of human nature -- we could be brave and foolish at the same time. This is also valuable information that can serve as a warning to us nowadays. Whether you like Chinese classics or Western classics, get a classic and start reading now 65 Did the writer use to love reading new books in his free time? 66. What kind of books does the writer prefer to read now? 67. What are the common features (特征) of the classics mentioned in this passage? 68. Do you agree with the writer that ancient classics have more value than new books? Why or why not?(about 30 wordsj VII. 根据句意,首字母写单词,或用所给单词的正确形式填空。(每小题0.5分,共4分) 69. What a great __ (suggest)!
