The Edinburgh Dance Club is held every Tuesday night at Sumimerhall, Newington, Edinburgh. We have the best Scottish dance bands each week. The bands have a caller who will teach the dances, so the event is great for everyone, from complete beginners to experienced Scottish dancers. Come and experience Scottish dance the way it’s meant to be! Tickets: £6 (online); £7 (at the door if there are any left) Time: 8 p.m.~11 p.m. Free Wi-Fi and snacks are provided. No drinks are included in the tickets. 1. Dance nights are usually held on ______ at the dance club. A. Mondays B. Tuesdays C. Wednesdays D. Thursdays 2.

Scottish dances are easy to learn C. there are many experienced dancers D. the club has the best Scottish dance bands 3. Joan bought 1 ticket online and added 2 more tickets at the door. How much did she pay in total? A. £6 B. £14 C. £20 D. £19 B Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier. The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future — for example, getting into college or getting a good job — that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives. Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes. 4. The passage gives us ______ pieces of advice on happiness. A. one B. two C. three D. four 5. The second paragraph tells us that ______. A. the more friends you have, the happier you will be B. we shouldn’t think about our future C. happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life D. some people fail to live a happy life 6. The writer thinks that ______. A. everyone knows how to live a happier life B. it’s wrong to spend time on work C. hobbies take up too much time D. doing good things for someone can make you happier 7 Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage? A. Reading a good book. B. Traveling to a foreign country. C. Playing a sport. D. Spending time with close friends. C When the famous scientist Albert Einstein was 16 years old, he imagined himself riding alongside a beam (束) of light. He used this picture in mind to help him when working out the “theory of relativity (相对论)”. “Imagination is more important than knowledge,” said Einstein. Daydreaming, called “thought experiments” by Einstein, can make you have wild imaginings, like flying around in space. It lets your mind walk slowly around ideas, memories and experiences that aren’t happening right now. It means thinking ahead to a holiday or remembering how much you enjoyed a birthday party. According to China’s health authorities (权威机构), daydreaming for a while each day can improve your health and creativity. Disappearing into a daydream lets your mind escape when things are difficult. It helps you deal with worries and fears. For example, imagining how you’re going to speak up in class is like practicing the scene in your head, which can make you feel calmer. Daydreaming also inspires creativity and lets you find new worlds where there are no limits (限制) to what you can do or who you are. Guo Qiang, an expert in thoughts and feelings, thinks we should all make time to daydream. “Thinking for pleasure can be a powerful tool to shape our feelings.” he said. However, try not to let your mind be absent when you need to focus (聚焦) in class or cross the road. Instead, find a time when you don’t have to focus on anything, like going for a walk or brushing your teeth. Guo suggests you can start by focusing on a happy memory or imagining a future success, like scoring a goal in the World Cup. To encourage creativity, think about interesting ideas and see where your mind takes you. Research shows that people often come up with more solutions to problems after they’ve taken a break. So next time you’re stuck with homework, stop for a moment and see where your daydreams take you. 8. Daydreaming can make people ______. A. fly around B. walk slowly C. think freely D. be absent-minded 9. Guo Qiang first suggests ______. A. escaping from the hard time B. looking for new worlds C. finding time to imagine D. focusing on success 10. What is mentioned in paragraph 4? A. The steps to daydream. B. The things to daydream of. C. The reasons for daydreaming. D. The meanings of daydreaming. 11. Daydreaming is talked about ______. A. to remind people to have a mind break B. to suggest living at the moment C. to find solutions to homework problems D. to show a science research result D Why do We Yawn? Do you yawn? There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning. We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too. Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired. That might be true. People do often yawn before they sleep and after they wake up. However, we know that people also yawn when they are excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down. Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn, you breathe deeply. You also stretch (强化) the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things. In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air. Scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do. 12. What does the underlined word “contagious” in Paragraph 2m ean? A. Able to spread quickly. B. Able to breathe easily. C. Able to change easily. D. Able to sleep quickly. 13. Why do Olympic runners often yawn before a race? A. They are too tired or too bored. B. A yawn can let good things in. C. A yawn can help a warm brain cool down. D. A yawn can stretch the muscles in their faces. 14. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5? A. Reasons for yawning. B. Advantages of yawning. C. Disadvantages of yawning. D. Different ideas about yawning. 15. What can we probably infer from the passage? A. People use different ways to yawn. B Scientists will do further research on yawning. C. It’s hard to notice things quickly while yawning. D. Some scientists think yawning is good for people. 第Ⅱ卷 （非选择题 共55分） 三、听力填词（共5小题，计5分） 请听下面一段独白，根据所听到的内容，写出可以填入下表空格处的适当单词，每空限填一次。（独白读两遍） A Director-Li An Family Li An’s father was a 1. ______.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了关于打哈欠的一些事实。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too.”可知，当别人打哈欠时，你也会打哈欠，所以哈欠是会传染的，划线部分单词意为“能够快速传播”。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down.”可知，打呵欠可以帮助使大脑冷静下来。故选C。 【14题详解】 段落大意题。根据“In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air.”可知，第五段主要介绍了人们对打呵欠的不同看法。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down. Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly.”可知，科学家发现打呵欠可以帮助大脑冷静下来，还可以让你更快速地注意事物，由此可推测，一些科学家认为打呵欠对人们有好处。故选D。 第Ⅱ卷 （非选择题 共55分） 三、听力填词（共5小题，计5分） 请听下面一段独白，根据所听到的内容，写出可以填入下表空格处的适当单词，每空限填一次。（独白读两遍） A Director-Li An Family Li An’s father was a 1. ______.

I have to be a________ from my school today because I’m ill. 【答案】(a)bsent 【解析】 【详解】句意：我今天不得不旷课，因为我病了。 考查形容词短语。根据后半句“ because I’m ill”可知，我今天没有去学校。由“be” 和”from”可知，用固定结构“be absent from…”缺席……来表示我没去学校。故填(a)bsent。 18. The little boy o________ his seat to an old lady on the crowded bus. 【答案】(o)ffered##(o)ffers 【解析】 【详解】句意：在拥挤的公共汽车上，小男孩把座位让给了一位老太太。根据“his seat to an old lady on the crowded bus.”及首字母可知，这里应该是把座位让给了一位老太太，offer意为“主动提供”；分析语境可知，此题可以用一般现在时或一般过去时；若用一般现在时，主语The little boy是第三人称单数，因此谓语用单数；若用一般过去时，offer的过去式为offered。故填(o)ffered/(o)ffers。 19. The door was l________ when we arrived, so we had to ring the bell. 【答案】(l)ocked 【解析】 【详解】句意：当我们到达时门被锁着，所以我们按了门铃。根据首字母提示和语境可知本题考查单词lock“锁上”，动词。主语the door和谓语lock是逻辑上的动宾关系，应用被动语态，其谓语结构为“be+过去分词”。故填(l)ocked。 20. The bad news is often ________（传播）very quickly. 【答案】spread 【解析】 【详解】句意：坏消息经常传播得很快。根据中文提示可知，这里考查spread，“传播；散布”，其过去式和过去分词都是spread。再根据句子结构可知，这里应用过去分词，与is构成被动语态。故填spread。 21. All the students are ________ (要求) to listen carefully in class. 【答案】required##asked 【解析】 【详解】句意：所有的学生都被要求上课认真听讲。本题考查require sb. to do sth./ask sb. to do sth.表示“要求某人做某事”，此处的主语是all the students，本句是被动句，require的过去分词是required，ask的过去分词是asked；sb. be required/asked to do sth.表示“某人被要求做某事”。故填required/asked。 22. ________ (都不) Mr. King nor Mr. Smith was available last night. 【答案】Neither 【解析】 【详解】句意：金先生和史密斯先生昨晚都没有空。根据“Mr. King nor Mr. Smith”和所给中文可知，neither...nor“既不……也不”符合，句首字母大写。故填Neither。 23.
