三、阅读理解
A
“I wish I had straight hair”;“I’d like to be taller”. At times, we all want to look a bit more like someone else. However, the pictures we see on TV and social media can give us improper ideas about how our bodies “should” look. The truth is that everybody is different——and that’s a good thing. Accepting and feeling good about our bodies is really important for our self confidence.
Body confidence is when someone accepts and behaves kindly towards their body. That includes our size and shape, skin color, appearance and any physical disabilities. Jade Parnell from the Centre for Appearance Research (CAR), says that having body confidence is “about being accepting of your body and what it does for you”.
If you feel positively(积极地)about your body, you are more likely to take care of it. Research has even shown that you are more likely to take part in activities and perform well in school. However, feeling agitated about your body could make you step back, do less well at school and even feel down. Parnell says that the cost of trying to achieve the “perfect” appearance is high. She says, “If you're spending a lot of time trying to look a certain way, you will have less time to spend with friends and to make important memories. ”
It's important to remember that everybody is different. To develop a positive body image, Parnell says, “Try to talk positively about your own body and other people's bodies. Try not to pay too much attention to appearance. Instead, think about what your body does for you; do your legs make you run really fast?”She also suggests treating your body well by eating different kinds of foods, exercising to feel good and to have fun, and getting plenty of sleep. Remember that you are more than how you look.
( )1. The writer thinks that the pictures on TV and social media _______.
A. are perfect for people to follow B. may spread wrong ideas of looks
C. imply everyone is different D. show people how to behave kindly
( )2. Jade Parnell ill agree that you should ________.
A. accept your body as it is B. avoid talking about others' bodies
C. spend more money on your appearance D. remember what you used to be like
( )3. Paying much attention to achieving the “perfect” look may lead to ________.
A. having more wonderful experiences B. more time for looking after our body
C. having more fun with friends D. less time for something more important
( )4. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To encourage readers to take more exercise. B. To remind readers not to eat too much food.
C. To lead readers to build up body confidence. D. To advise readers to treat their friends well.
B
Once there were four children whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy. This story is about something that happened to them when they left London during the war.
The four children were sent to an old man's house in the countryside, ten miles from the nearest railway station and two miles from the nearest post office. The old man had untidy white hair which grew over most of his face.
On the first evening, he went out to meet the children. He looked so strange that little Lucy was a bit afraid, but Edmund wanted to laugh and tried to hide it by blowing his nose.
After saying goodnight to the old man, they went upstairs. The house was so large with all those steps and rows of doors leading into empty rooms. The boys went into the girls’ room and they argued about the house and the old man. While they were talking, there came a strange noise. The noise and the thought of the large house made Lucy feel even more frightened.
“It's an owl," said Peter. “This is a wonderful place for birds. Let's go and explore tomorrow. You might find anything in a place like this. Did you see those mountains and woods as we came along?
But the next morning, there was a rain falling, so thick that you could see neither the mountains nor the woods. After breakfast, they were upstairs in the room. Edmund started complaining about the weather. Susan suggested reading books in the room. "Not for me,” said Peter, “I'm going to explore in the house.” Everyone agreed to this and that was how the adventures began.
( )1.Where did the story take place?
A. In the post office. B. In the old man's house.

( )3. Why did Lucy feel even more frightened in Paragraph 3?
A. Because she saw an owl in the large house.
B. Because someone unknown was walking on the steps.
C. Because the old man took all of them to the empty rooms.
D. Because she heard a terrible sound and thought of the house.
( )4. What does “this” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Reading books in the house. B.Finding out about the house.
C. Complaining about the weather. D. Searching for birds in the woods.

D. The old man would hunt for the owl and other birds in the woods.
四、信息还原
Do you know the reason why we feel tired in the middle of a class? Maybe you would say it is because the teacher's class is boring. ___1___ Perhaps this is something you have not paid enough attention to or not yet noticed.
Purpose of sleep ___2___ Sleep helps our body heal(修复), grow, and stay healthy. It also gives us energy, so we can be active all day. Doctors and health scientists say: When you close your eyes and need to rest, sleep is just the very best! This is more than advice.
Seep time Enough sleep is important to us. How much sleep do we need? New-born babies sleep most of the time. They can sleep 20-22 hours a day. Children need 10-12 hours of sleep a day. Teenagers need 8- 10 hours of sleep a day because they need lots of energy to grow into their adult(成人的) bodies. Grown-ups usually need 6-8 hours of sleep to keep active. ___3___ That is why old people sleep less than young people.
Interesting facts Almost everyone has their dreams while they sleep, but not all of them can tell their dreams clearly when they wake up. ___4___ More surprisingly, some may even get up in their dreams and walk around. This is called "sleepwalking". Are you a sleepwalker? Or, is there a sleepwalker around you?
____5____ It's not just people that love to snooze(打盹). In fact, many animals have unusual or surprising sleeping habits. Some animals, such as bears and hedgehogs, sleep all through winter. The swift is a very fast bird that can sleep while it flies! Cute koalas sleep around 18 hours a day. Giraffes don't need much sleep at all. They usually sleep standing up.
A. Sleepy animals. B. Why do we need sleep?
C. Some people talk in their dreams.

六、阅读回答问题,每题答案不超过6个词
Many Westerners thinks that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu. This is, of course, a silly belief. But it is true that kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.
Like most people from the West, I was first introduced to kung fu through Hong Kong action films. Some Chinese kung fu stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan made kung fu popular in the Western world. The cool and impressive performances they gave in films like Rumble In The Bronx and Enter The Dragon made them household names in the US and elsewhere.
However, my own personal interest in kung fu was actually encouraged by a hip-hop group. Wu-Tang Clan, founded in the early 1990s in New York City, is one of the most famous hip-hop groups in history.
In their songs, they sometimes mention philosophical concepts (哲学理念) that come from wudang quan—the style of Chinese martial arts from which they take their name—and the Shaolin Monastery. I was just a teenager when I first started listening to Wu-Tang Clan—little did I know that I would actually end up living in China later in my life
I myself do not practice kung fu. However, the concepts behind it are quite interesting to me. There is a Bruce Lee quote that I often think of when I’m struggling with challenges in life. Be formless... shapeless, like water,” he once said. By this, he meant that you should be ready to change your attitudes or beliefs when you face difficulties. I think this is a good way to deal with life.
1. Who made kung fu popular in the Western world?_________________________________________
2. What was the writer’s personal interest in kung fu encouraged by?____________________________
3. When did the writer first start listening to Wu-Tong Clan?___________________________________
4. How does the writer face difficulties?___________________________________________________
5. What do you think of kung fu after reading this passage?____________________________________
