One day, while I was waiting for him, a beautiful Cadillac (凯迪拉克) came to a(n) 1 near me. I was busily 2 the car when I noticed the driver. Honestly, she was probably the 3 woman I had ever seen outside of a movie screen. Her eyes were as blue as the sea, and she had 4 like a row of pearls (珍珠). Minutes later, a man came out of the building and walked over to her. They kissed and drove off. Sitting there, 5 in jeans and a T-shirt, I wanted to cry. It is so unfair (不公平) some people have it all. The next week I saw her again, and after that it became almost 6 to see her. I would wonder if she and her husband ate out a lot and where they went. I wanted her to get out of the car so I could see her clearly. Did she wear high-fashioned shoes? A few weeks later, this was 7 for me. I was waiting in my usual place and the lady’s husband came over to their car. He opened the door. 8 the woman walked around to the passenger side, with a walking stick. She had a prosthetic (假肢) on her left leg. As they drove away I began to cry. When my husband arrived I told him about what had 9 . He said he knew her husband and that, when the lady was 12 years old, she had an accident on the railroad. Both of her parents were killed. The rail company gave a large number of money to her because the crossing had no 10 ; that is why she owned such a nice car. Now I realize how lucky I am. When you meet a person who seems to be much better off than you, don’t be fooled (欺骗) by appearances. 1．A．end B．stop C．mark D．point 2．A．admiring B．comparing C．decorating D．following 3．A．bravest B．happiest C．prettiest D．wealthiest 4．A．ears B．fingers C．legs D．teeth 5．A．covered B．dressed C．included D．trapped 6．A．guilty B．strange C．stressful D．usual 7．A．answered B．presented C．raised D．solved 8．A．actively B．rapidly C．slowly D．suddenly 9．A．announced B．disappeared C．happened D．mistaken 10．A．scenes B．senses C．sights D．signs Ⅲ. 语法填空 12、语法填空 One sheep, two sheep... 632 sheep... still awake... People always believe that counting sheep1．(be) helpful to their sleep. But does it2．(real) work? Scientists at Oxford University tested it. Two sleep researchers looked at the people who had3．(difficult) in sleeping. They divided them4．different groups. Then they asked them to try all kinds of ways to help5．(they) fall asleep quickly. Surprisingly, it6．(take) those who were asked to count sheep more time to fall asleep than those who weren’t. But when they were asked to imagine a relaxing picture-- a beach, for e7．, they fell asleep about twenty minutes8．(soon) than before, according to a report in The New York Times. “Sometimes, counting tasks are OK, b9．they are thought as stressful by many people,” Dr. Richards told ABC News. “As10．result, it may be a good way to try imagining colored fish slowly swimming in a river to help you sleep at night,” suggested Richards. Ⅳ. 阅读理解 A 13、What does your face say? How many different emotions do you think you can communicate to people with your face? Do you have the same facial expressions as people from different cultures? New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion.However, how these expressions are understood might depend on where you are from. Research by scientists from the University of Glasgow has challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions. Until now, it was widely believed that six basic emotions — happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust (厌恶), were expressed and recognized across different cultures. However, the University of Glasgow’s work now suggests that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion. This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to distinguish, especially when they are first expressing on the face. Fear and surprise, for example,both share wide-open eyes. The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look the same. So if our faces are only able to express four basic emotions, how do we communicate more complex (复杂的) feelings? The study found that the way expressions are explained is different in different cultures. Lead researcher Dr Rachael Jack was studying this because “facial expressions were considered to be general”, she explains. However, while looking at how people from the East and West look at different parts of the face during facial expression recognition, they found that although there are some common characteristics across cultures, the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized by everyone. “We said we don’t know what a disgust face looks like in China, so the best way to go about that is to make all combinations (组合) of facial movements and show to Chinese researchers and ask them to choose the ones they think are disgust faces.” With the software they developed, they discovered that in the early stages of signaling emotion, fear and surprise, and anger and disgust, were often confused. Jack explains that these facial expressions have developed both from biology and social evolution(进化). What interests people about the cross-cultural aspect of the research? “This work leads to understanding which emotions we share, realizing our differences and calling attention to our multicultural experiences.” This research could advise new ways of social communication that improve cross-cultural interactions. 1．What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A．To show interest in different cultures. B．To express the worries about emotions. C．To lead in the topic of facial expressions. D．To give an example of facial expressions. 2．The word “distinguish” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______. A．express B．explain C．differentiate D．develop 3．According to the passage, Dr Rachael agrees that ______. A．facial expressions are easy to understand in Japan B．the way expressions are understood is different in China C．new ways of social communication can improve movements D．it’s difficult to understand all the facial expressions of emotion 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．We can express our emotions in four different ways. B．Facial expressions of emotion can be discovered easily. C．Facial expressions of emotion are from different countries. D．Facial expressions are explained differently in different cultures. B 14、Now, it may be difficult to predict the future, but many people believe that we will live on Mars by the year 2100. Our own planet, Earth, is becoming more and more crowed and polluted. Well, what problems will we need to solve before we prepare to go to Mars? First of all, transport should be much better. At present, humans need to spend months going to Mars by spaceship. However, by 2100, spaceship can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get there! Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists should develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food, water and air that we need. However, there is no answer for all the problems now. There is also a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars attracts us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space there. We will have to wear special shoes to make ourselves heavier. In some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today. Food will not be the same —meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will probably make many people feel very uncomfortable. 1．So far, how long will it take us from the earth to Mars by spaceship? A．Two or three days. B．A few days. C．A few months. D．A few years. 2．According to the passage, which of the following is wrong? A．A special plant which can produce water, air and food should be needed on Mars. B．We may go to Mars when transport is much better and faster.. C．We can jump higher than on the earth on Mars. D．Food on Mars will be much better to eat. 3．Which looks like life on Mars according to the passage? A．We can wear the shoes that we like to wear. B．We can drink easily and conveniently. C．We can walk faster than on the earth. D．We can boil food to eat. 4．Why do we want to live on Mars? A．Life on Mars is more interesting than that on the earth. B．The earth is becoming dirty and crowded. C．The journey to Mars is very interesting. D．The scientists want us to do that. C 15、Now cities are full of cars. Some families even have two or more cars. Parking is a great problem, and so is the traffic in around the cities. Something will have to be done to change it. What will the cars of tomorrow be like? Little cars may some day take the place of today's big cars. If everyone drives little cars in the future there will be less pollution in the air. There will also be more space for parking cars in cities, and the streets will be less crowded. Three little cars can fit in the space now needed for one car of the usual size. The little cars will cost much less to own and to drive. Driving will be safer, too. What is more, these little cars can go about 65 kilometers per (每) hour. Little cars of the future will be fine for getting around a city, but they will not be useful for long trips. If big cars are still used along with the small ones, two sets of roads will be needed in the future. Some roads will be used for the big, fast cars, and other roads will be needed for the slower small ones. 1．What is the big problem for those people who have cars? A．Money. B．Parking. C．Time. D．Waiting. 2．What does the underlined word “ take the place of ” mean in Chinese? A．花费 B．地方 C．超越 D．取代 3．People can money with using the little cars. A．spent B．cost C．save D．take 4．Little cars are very fine for ______. A．everyday life B．journeys C．long trips D．sport 5．What is this passage mainly about? A．The little cars are as useful as the big cars. B．What the cars of tomorrow will be like. C．There will be less pollution in the future. D．Cities are full of cars now.

As we know, if we often stay up late at night, we will feel tired and sleepy during the daytime. Going to school without breakfast will cause lots of health problem. Spending too much time on QQ or computer games will do harm to our eyes. I think it's important for us to live a healthy life. First, we should have good eating habits. We can eat more vegetables. Second, we should take more exercise. We can play basketball, play football and swim. Third, in my opinion, reading can make us relaxed. Helpful books can help us a lot. Finally, when we feel bad, we can listen to soft music to make us peaceful. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
