Do animals communicate with each other? How do they communicate with others? I did some research and, to my surprise, I learned that all animals communicate. They don’t use language, but they send messages (信息) to each other. Animals communicate with each other in three main ways: through sounds, smells, and body language.
The alarm (警报) call is one way. When an enemy is near, animals send out a warning sound. Others hear it and run to a safe place, or get together to fight the enemy. Whales (鲸鱼) are famous for their talent to communicate from far away with special sounds. In their own social groups, whales understand what they’re saying to each other.
Smell is another popular way for animals to communicate. Some animals such as the amoeba (变形虫) send out a smell to tell other amoebas it’s going to have babies. Skunks send out an odour when they feel they are in danger.
Skunk
Many animals use body language to communicate. Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) touch hands when they meet. A happy dog moves its tail from side to side. Even people understand this form of dog body language.
People develop their own ways of communicating, using words and sentences. But if you watch other animals carefully, you quickly come to understand that they also have ways of sending their messages.

When people take your picture, they say: “Say cheese! Smile!” So you do—you open your mouth and show your teeth. Healthy teeth help you to look your best. Do you know how to take care of them?
Brush your teeth
Long ago, when people got older, their teeth would rot away (腐蚀,腐烂). Rotting teeth give people toothache. Jo avoid (避免) a toothache, people pulled the bad tooth out. Finally, they learned that cleaning their teeth was important. But they didn’t have toothpaste (牙膏) then. They tried things such as chalk (白垩) and lemon juice.
About 100 years ago, someone finally made a paste to clean teeth. Not long after that someone invented the toothpaste tube (管状物). That way people could put the paste right onto the toothbrush.
Tooth brushing became popular during World War Ⅱ. The US Army gave brushes and toothpaste to all soldiers. They learned to brush twice a day.
Today there are all kinds of toothpastes. Toothpastes come in different colors and flavors. When you choose your toothpaste, make sure it has fluoride (氟化物). Fluoride makes your teeth firm.
Use floss (牙线)
Sometimes your teeth need deeper cleaning than brushing. That is when floss is helpful. You pull it between your teeth, and it reaches places where your toothbrush can’t go. Floss can pull out food that is between your teeth.

When we talk about communication, we often think of communicating with others. But do you know that we also do communication with ourselves from time to time? Picture this: Your mom asks you what you would like for breakfast. Many foods come to your mind: pancakes, bread, porridge … You think that it would be great to have pancakes. Until you tell your mom what you want to eat, you are communicating with yourself.
We call this kind of communication intrapersonal communication. This can be, talking to ourselves, reading, writing, thinking, understanding and remembering something.
Intrapersonal communication plays a big role in our lives. Good intrapersonal communication allows you to understand yourself better. When you’re comfortable with who you are, and you know what you want, you can better get on with yourself. Also, intrapersonal communication helps you to keep an eye on your thoughts and feelings. When you find that your mind is full of negative (消极的) thoughts and feelings, and that they make you sad, you will try to cheer up and get rid of these bad thoughts and feelings.
What’s more, intrapersonal communication helps with your communication with others. Understanding your thoughts and feelings better allows you to put yourself in others’ shoes when you talk to or listen to them. Then, you can better understand and get on with them.
1.How does the writer explain the idea of intrapersonal communication in Paragraph 1?

When a teen and a parent argue, it does not mean that something is wrong with their relationship. It just means that they see things in different ways.
In the early years of children’s lives, parents are the most important people in their world. As children get older and have more contact with other people than their parents, their behavior will be influenced (影响) by other people.
Building up independence
As teens build up independence, parents need to understand a number of points. They are still the most important people in their children’s lives while teens are trying to become adults. One of their greatest difficulties is becoming independent while keeping a loving relationship with parents.
Fighting for control
When children are young, many parents keep control over most parts of their children’s life. As children grow older, they realize they can never grow into adults without having control of their lives. As a result, teens begin to fight for control. In this period, even a simple topic can trigger a disagreement.
In fact, teens are still worried about losing the most important thing in their lives, the love of parents. At the same time, parents may feel happy about teens’ abilities to care for them. It is important that everyone cares so greatly about each other.
▲
What are some ways parents can use to break the cycle of disagreements with their teens? First of all, be aware that teenagers must become independent to become adults.
If becoming independent is the task of children, then the task of parents must be to help their children reach independence.
Also, parents should try to keep the communication lines open and be a good example for their teens to follow. Sometimes parents may need to learn new ways to deal with their own problems, instead of allowing the teen’s fight for independence to mix with their problems.
1.Why do parents and teens argue with each other?
A.They don’t love each other anymore. B.They don’t see the world in the same way.
C.Teenagers want to live a totally independent life. D.Teenagers don’t care about parents’ love and support.
2.What’s the difficulty for teens as they build up their independence?
A.How to get enough money to support their life.
B.How to solve the arguments with their parents.
C.How to find new ways to deal with their own problems.

3.Which of the following can take the place of the underlined word “trigger”?
A.fill with B.come along C.lead to D.set aside

A.Becoming adults B.Solving disagreements C.Allowing mistakes D.Keeping communication

Zhang Zhijuan is a doctor who works in Gaofa, a small village in Yunnan. She loves her job and wins high praise (赞扬) from all the villagers.
Zhang Zhijuan grew up in a poor family. Her father passed away when she was 13 years old. This made her decide to become a doctor to help sick people. In 1994, she finished her studies and returned to Gaofa to work at the local clinic (当地诊所). She is one of the clinic doctors serving about 2,000 villagers.

Once upon a time, there lived a pet dog named Cody. Cody was not happy with his life. As he was relaxing in the garden, he saw a cat on the top of the wall. Cody thought, “I wish I could climb those high walls like that cat!” This thought annoyed (使生气) Cody.
Later, Cody saw the fish in the water. “I wish I could live in cool water,” thought Cody. “I wish I could play on the warm and soft grass like you,” said one of the fish.
After some time, Cody saw a sparrow (麻雀) sitting in a tree. “I wish I could fly like you,” said Cody. “I wish I could play all day long like you without needing to build a nest (鸟巢) and search for food,” cried the sparrow.
As Cody walked forward, he met a donkey (驴) and a rooster (公鸡). The donkey said, “You are so lucky! You don’t have to c... heavy bags like me!” “Yes, and you don’t have to wake up people early in the morning,” said the unhappy rooster.
When the dog heard others’ problems, he thought, “We all hope for something we don’t have, but we forget to be thankful for what we have. So, from now on, I will enjoy being myself!” From that day on, Cody started to enjoy his life without envying (羡慕) others.

1.细节理解题。根据“As he was relaxing in the garden, he saw a cat on the top of the wall. Cody thought, ‘I wish I could climb those high walls like that cat!’”可知,当他在花园里放松时,看到墙顶上有一只猫,他希望自己能像那只猫一样爬上高高的墙。故选D。
2.词句猜测题。根据“The donkey said, ‘You are so lucky! You don’t have to... heavy bags like me!’”结合语境可知,驴说自己很幸运不用像对方一样搬重重的袋子,所以这里应该是“搬,扛”,carry符合语境。故选C。
3.细节理解题。根据“When the dog heard others’ problems, he thought, ‘We all hope for something we don’t have, but we forget to be thankful for what we have. So, from now on, I will enjoy being myself!’”可知,当这只狗听到其他人的问题后,它想到我们都希望拥有自己没有的东西,但却忘记了对我们所拥有的心存感激,所以从现在起,它要享受做自己。即它最后明白应该对自己所拥有的心存感激并享受做自己。故选D。

Do animals communicate with each other? How do they communicate with others? I did some research and, to my surprise, I learned that all animals communicate. They don’t use language, but they send messages (信息) to each other. Animals communicate with each other in three main ways: through sounds, smells, and body language.
The alarm (警报) call is one way. When an enemy is near, animals send out a warning sound. Others hear it and run to a safe place, or get together to fight the enemy. Whales (鲸鱼) are famous for their talent to communicate from far away with special sounds. In their own social groups, whales understand what they’re saying to each other.
Smell is another popular way for animals to communicate. Some animals such as the amoeba (变形虫) send out a smell to tell other amoebas it’s going to have babies. Skunks send out an odour when they feel they are in danger.
Skunk
Many animals use body language to communicate. Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) touch hands when they meet. A happy dog moves its tail from side to side. Even people understand this form of dog body language.
People develop their own ways of communicating, using words and sentences. But if you watch other animals carefully, you quickly come to understand that they also have ways of sending their messages.
1.How does the writer start the topic?
A.By listing numbers. B.By telling a story. C.By asking questions. D.By showing an old saying.
2.What do the underlined words “an odour” mean?
A.A loud sound. B.A terrible smell. C.A bright colour. D.A special shape.
3.What does the writer want to show by giving us the example of dogs?
A.Animals can communicate with sound. B.Animals can communicate with smell.
C.Animals can communicate in three ways. D.Animals can communicate with body language.
4.What’s the structure (结构) of the text? (P1= Paragraph 1, P2=Paragraph 2,…)
A. P1/P2/ P3 P4 P5 B.P1/P2 P3 P4/P5 C./P1/P2 P3 /P4 P5 D. P1/P2 P3 P4 P5
5.What’s the best title for the text?
A.How to Protect Animals B.How Animals Communicate
C.Why Body Language Matters D.What Animals Can Communicate

When people take your picture, they say: “Say cheese! Smile!” So you do—you open your mouth and show your teeth. Healthy teeth help you to look your best. Do you know how to take care of them?
Brush your teeth
Long ago, when people got older, their teeth would rot away (腐蚀,腐烂). Rotting teeth give people toothache. Jo avoid (避免) a toothache, people pulled the bad tooth out. Finally, they learned that cleaning their teeth was important. But they didn’t have toothpaste (牙膏) then. They tried things such as chalk (白垩) and lemon juice.
About 100 years ago, someone finally made a paste to clean teeth. Not long after that someone invented the toothpaste tube (管状物). That way people could put the paste right onto the toothbrush.
Tooth brushing became popular during World War Ⅱ. The US Army gave brushes and toothpaste to all soldiers. They learned to brush twice a day.
Today there are all kinds of toothpastes. Toothpastes come in different colors and flavors. When you choose your toothpaste, make sure it has fluoride (氟化物). Fluoride makes your teeth firm.
Use floss (牙线)
Sometimes your teeth need deeper cleaning than brushing. That is when floss is helpful. You pull it between your teeth, and it reaches places where your toothbrush can’t go. Floss can pull out food that is between your teeth.
1.Long time ago, what did people do to avoid a toothache?
A.They had fake teeth. B.They brushed their teeth.
C.They pulled the bad tooth out. D.They used floss.
2.What did ancient people use to clean their teeth?
A.They used toothpaste. B.They used chalk or lemon juice.
C.They used floss. D.They used toothbrush.
3.When did tooth brushing become popular?
A.About 100 years ago. B.Before World War Ⅰ.
C.During World War Ⅱ. D.After World War Ⅱ.

When we talk about communication, we often think of communicating with others. But do you know that we also do communication with ourselves from time to time? Picture this: Your mom asks you what you would like for breakfast. Many foods come to your mind: pancakes, bread, porridge … You think that it would be great to have pancakes. Until you tell your mom what you want to eat, you are communicating with yourself.
We call this kind of communication intrapersonal communication. This can be, talking to ourselves, reading, writing, thinking, understanding and remembering something.
Intrapersonal communication plays a big role in our lives. Good intrapersonal communication allows you to understand yourself better. When you’re comfortable with who you are, and you know what you want, you can better get on with yourself. Also, intrapersonal communication helps you to keep an eye on your thoughts and feelings. When you find that your mind is full of negative (消极的) thoughts and feelings, and that they make you sad, you will try to cheer up and get rid of these bad thoughts and feelings.
What’s more, intrapersonal communication helps with your communication with others. Understanding your thoughts and feelings better allows you to put yourself in others’ shoes when you talk to or listen to them. Then, you can better understand and get on with them.
1.How does the writer explain the idea of intrapersonal communication in Paragraph 1?
A.By providing some surveys. B.By listing numbers. C.By giving an example. D.By asking some questions.

When a teen and a parent argue, it does not mean that something is wrong with their relationship. It just means that they see things in different ways.
In the early years of children’s lives, parents are the most important people in their world. As children get older and have more contact with other people than their parents, their behavior will be influenced (影响) by other people.
Building up independence
As teens build up independence, parents need to understand a number of points. They are still the most important people in their children’s lives while teens are trying to become adults. One of their greatest difficulties is becoming independent while keeping a loving relationship with parents.
Fighting for control
When children are young, many parents keep control over most parts of their children’s life. As children grow older, they realize they can never grow into adults without having control of their lives. As a result, teens begin to fight for control. In this period, even a simple topic can trigger a disagreement.
In fact, teens are still worried about losing the most important thing in their lives, the love of parents. At the same time, parents may feel happy about teens’ abilities to care for them. It is important that everyone cares so greatly about each other.
▲
What are some ways parents can use to break the cycle of disagreements with their teens? First of all, be aware that teenagers must become independent to become adults.
If becoming independent is the task of children, then the task of parents must be to help their children reach independence.
Also, parents should try to keep the communication lines open and be a good example for their teens to follow. Sometimes parents may need to learn new ways to deal with their own problems, instead of allowing the teen’s fight for independence to mix with their problems.

You can’t see many non-flowering plants around you. If you look carefully at the plants around you, you’ll find that there are many different plants. Some plants are very big and some are very small.
