It provides shelter, food, and water for humans and many animals.”可知，猴面包树为人类和动物提供了住所、食物和水。文章第二段提到“People can eat the fruit or make it into drinks, jam, or something like coffee.”，说明人们可以用猴面包树的果实制作类似咖啡的饮品，但猴面包树本身并不直接提供咖啡。故选D。 2. 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“El Hadji Salifou Ouedraogo has planted thousands of baobab trees over the past 47 years, and now he has a big forest of them.”可知，在过去的47年里，El Hadji Salifou Ouedraogo种植了数千棵猴面包树，现在他已经拥有了大片的猴面包树森林。划线词“them”指代的是前文提到的“baobab trees”，即猴面包树。故选B。 3. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“These trees provide delicious fruit that has good stuff like vitamin C for animals like birds, lizards, monkeys, and even elephants.”可知，文中提到的动物有鸟类、蜥蜴、猴子和大象，共四种。故选C。 4. 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Ouedraogo loves planting these special trees and using them in a way that helps everyone and everything. People all over the world look up to him and want to be like him to help the environment.”可知，Ouedraogo的故事主要鼓励人们保护地球和环境。故选C。 Passage 2 How much sleep do you get every day? Some of us sleep a lot and some of us sleep a little. So do animals. Let’s look at the histogram (柱状图) of their sleeping hours! Koalas come from Australia. They are lovely. They spend a long time sleeping and digesting (消化). Their food doesn’t have enough energy (能量) and is hard to digest. So, they sleep to save their energy. Lions are big sleepers too. They are likely to catch other animals at night or during the early hours of the day. At that time, most lions’ prey sleep. This makes the animals easier to catch. When not hunting (猎取), a lion always plays or sleeps on the ground. Giraffes don’t get very much sleep. Mostly they take short sleep while standing up, and they only lie down to get some deep sleep for about 30 minutes. Why? Because they are afraid of getting hurt by other animals while sleeping. Horses do most of their sleeping while standing up because they’re ready to run away. Usually horses only need 20 minutes to get some deep sleep. When the horse group lies down, one horse always stays awake to keep watch. However, you can find some horses sleeping for up to 6 hour a day if they feel safe. 1. Which animal sleeps the most according to the histogram? A．Koalas. B．Giraffes. C．Lions. D．Horses. 2. What do lions do when not hunting? A．Eat food. B．Kill animals. C．Sleep or play. D．Stand up. 3. Why do giraffes and horses sleep while standing up? A．Because they both need long sleep. B．Because they don’t like to lie down. C．Because they want to save energy. D．Because they have to keep watch. 4. Why does the writer write the passage? A．To show us some kinds of animals. B．To show us different sleeping hours. C．To tell us different animals’ eating habits. D．To tell us different animals’ sleeping habits. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D 4. D 【导语】本文主要介绍了几种动物的睡眠习惯。 1. 细节理解题。根据柱状图可知，考拉的睡眠时间最长。故选A。 2. 细节理解题。根据“When not hunting (猎取), a lion always plays or sleeps on the ground.”可知在不狩猎的时候，狮子总是在地上玩耍或睡觉。故选C。 3. 推理判断题。根据“Because they are afraid of getting hurt by other animals while sleeping.”以及“Horses do most of their sleeping while standing up because they’re ready to run away...When the horse group lies down, one horse always stays awake to keep watch”可知考拉害怕在睡觉时被其他动物伤害，马大部分时间都是站着睡觉，因为它们已经准备好逃跑了，当马群躺下时，其中一匹马总是保持清醒以保持警惕，所以它们站着睡觉是因为它们不得不保持警惕。故选D。 4. 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了几种动物的睡眠习惯。故选D。 Passage 3 Sounds are all around us, but is bird singing or car honking (鸣喇叭) music? And what is music? Sometimes sounds are put together in specific (特定的) ways to show feelings and tell stories. Such sounds are called music. Nowadays, music has become a part of people’s lives, no matter where they are. ▲ ? It carries special meanings on festivals. In fact, traditional festivals always get along with a certain kind of music. For example, when you think of the Chinese New Year, what brings to your mind is the happy songs about good luck and a new beginning. Music brings people closer together. Today, people all over the world can set aside their differences and sing and dance together in peace in a concert. Maybe they don’t really understand different languages, they can still enjoy the music together. Music is good for the human body. Studies show that when you listen to music, your brain sends things to make you feel happy and relaxed, and help you sleep better. You can also remember and learn better by listening to music.

Do you know that humans (人类) have kept cats as pets for over 9,000 years? Without any facts, we can only guess at how humans and cats were together at first. Most people believe that cats were one of the last animals to be tamed (被驯化) and kept as pets in early Middle East. They were tamed after other animals like cows, dogs, pigs, and sheep because cats couldn’t make delicious milk or help humans carry any things. There are some things that cats can do well in, like getting mice, one of their favorite foods, and some other vermin that destroys (毁坏) the plants and is bad for humans. Some scientists said that this might be how cats and humans became friends. When early humans began farming for food, their food stores were a great place for hungry mice. Wild (野外的) cats weren’t going to let them run away, so they followed the mice into human villages. As time went on, cats could live with humans well. Finally, the wild cat of 9,000 years ago became the house cat of today. Unlike dogs, cats could leave their human owners and go back to the wild at any time. They don’t lose their natural abilities (能力): their perfect seeing at night and hearing, their sense of smell and so on. House cats can also get their own food. Some people may even wake up to see little “gifts” from their cat, like dead birds or mice. This kind of thing doesn’t make us angry too much, because there are now more than 600 million cats living in homes around the world. 1. Why do most people think cats were the last to be tamed? A．Because people found them at a late time. B．Because they were a little lazy at first. C．Because they were not useful like other animals. D．Because people didn’t like them very much. 2. What does “vermin” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．A kind of animal. B．A kind of food. C．A kind of plant. D．A kind of village. 3. What can the cats do according to the text? ①See things at night.     ②Help carry things.    ③Get something to eat.    ④Hear the sound well. A．①②③ B．①③④ C．②③④ D．①②④ 4. What’s the best title for the text? A．Cats and food. B．Cats and living places. C．Cats and humans. D．Cats and other animals. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 4. C 【导语】本文主要介绍了猫和人类是如何生活在一起的。 1. 细节理解题。根据“because cats couldn’t make delicious milk or help humans carry any things.”可知因为猫不能制造美味的牛奶，也不能帮助人类携带任何东西，所以猫是最后被驯服的动物之一。故选C。 2. 词义猜测题。根据“There are some things that cats can do well in, like getting mice, one of their favorite foods, and some other vermin that destroys (毁坏) the plants and is bad for humans”可知有些事情猫可以做得很好，比如老鼠，它们最喜欢的食物之一，以及其他一些破坏植物对人类有害的害虫，故此处划线部分是“一种动物”。故选A。 3. 细节理解题。根据“their perfect seeing at night and hearing, their sense of smell. House cats can also get their own food”可知它们在夜间的完美视觉和听觉，嗅觉等等，家猫也可以自己吃东西。故选B。 4. 最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了猫和人类是如何生活在一起的，以选项C“猫和人类”为标题最合适。故选C。 Passage 5 Finnish (芬兰的) schools are the best in Europe, some might say in the world. Only three countries—China, Singapore, and the Republic of Korea—can compete (竞争) with Finland in study. So, why is it so good? Surprisingly, Finnish children spend less time in school than the children in many other countries. They don’t start school until the age of seven. Their school days are short, and their vacations are long. Studying in Finland is relaxing. Classrooms often look like living rooms. Students don’t wear uniforms or formal (正式的) ones and they call teachers by their first names. What’s more, they have only 30 minutes of homework each night. Many people believe the key is that the teachers are so good. It’s a popular, well-paid job, and teachers are usually kind and not strict. Different from those in other countries, they also have their way of teaching. Rather than having separate subjects like history and geography, students learn everything together. There are seven things that Finnish students must learn in school: ·how to think clearly; ·how to understand and join in Finnish culture: ·how to use language and numbers;how to use technology; ·how to take care of themselves; ·how to be successful at work; ·how to be a good person for the future of Finland.

Only three countries—China, Singapore, and the Republic of Korea—can compete (竞争) with Finland in study. So, why is it so good?”可知，本文主要关于为什么芬兰的学生学习好，故选D。 Passage 6 Where does the wind come from? What makes the wind move all the time? Scientists tell us that the sun makes it move and blow. When the sun shines, it makes the land and the water hot. Then the land and water make the air hot. The warm air is light, so it goes up. The cool air moves in to take the place of (取代) the warm air. Warm and cool air move from place to place and that makes winds. When the wind changes speed, it often brings a change in the weather. When the air moves slowly, it makes light winds. But when the air moves very fast, it makes big winds.

Just then, the tomato starts to shout! This may not sound real, but a new study showed that plants made sounds(声音) when they “felt” worried. Scientists used ultrasonic microphones (超声波克风) to “hear” the sounds of tomato plants in boxes. What did they do? They listened to three groups of plants. Group 1 and Group 2 made sounds 30 to 50 times(次数) every hour. Group 3 only made 1 sound every hour. “When tomatoes are not worried at all, they are very quiet,” Lilach Hadany from the study team said. Who listens to these sounds? Animals may listen to the sounds in the forest. For example, the sound can tell them that the plant is worried and not good for laying eggs(产卵) on. When an animal wants to eat a plant, it can also use the sound to pick which one to eat. The scientists also listened to other plants, like rice. They also made more sounds when they were worried. Scientists say the study can help farmers in the future. They can help the plants grow better by “hearing” how plants feel. 1. What did the new study show us?

We can live with no water for only about three days. So you can see water is really important for us! ②In fact, water helps our bodies in many ways. First, water keeps us healthy. Like trees and flowers need water to grow, our bodies need water to work well. Next, water is like a cleaner for our bodies. It can dust off our bodies and keep us healthy. Did you know that water also helps us stay cool when we feel hot? Our bodies get hot and sweaty (出汗的) when we play outside or run around. But drinking water cools us down and makes us feel good. It’s like a great drink on a hot day. Water is also good for our skin. It keeps our skin soft. So, if we want nice skin, we can drink enough water. ③But how much water should we drink? For most of us, eight glasses of water every day may be OK. But those who live or work in warmer places need to drink more water. That is because they lose more water than us. ④And we have to know some rules about drinking water. After getting up or one hour before meals, it is helpful to drink a glass of water. Drink often before we feel thirsty. In fact, when we feel thirsty, the body is already short of water. ⑤You see, water is so good for us.

They have a good memory. For example, they can remember places with food and water after many years. They are also very kind. When an elephant is unwell, other elephants will help it. And the older elephants often look after the younger ones. Elephants play an important part in Thai culture and life. Sadly, they are in danger now.

In the forest, there are many kinds of animals, such as foxes, wolves, and eagles. The big and strong animals like wolves often look for food. They need to be careful not to enter the territory (领地) of other strong animals. This is a kind of “rule” in the forest. If they break it, there may be a fight. In the ocean, sharks and whales are big animals. Sharks are good at hunting. They swim fast to catch smaller fish. But they also have to follow the “rule” of the ocean environment (环境). For example, they can’t overhunt in one place, or there won’t be enough food in the future. At the zoo, we also have rules to protect the animals. We mustn’t feed the animals with our own food. This is because our food may be bad for their health. We should just watch them quietly and not make too much noise to disturb them. We, as humans, also have a very important “rule” to follow. We need to protect the forests and oceans, which are the homes of these animals. We can’t cut down too many trees or pollute the water. If we break these rules, the animals will be in danger. In short, whether in the wild or in the zoo, there are rules related to animals. We should understand and respect these rules to keep a good balance between us and the animal world. 1.

How do so many people move about the city on their way to work and school? So, we should know something about its transportation. In New York, you can travel around the city by subway. The subway runs on the railroad lines under the city. It crosses the city at different points and goes all parts of the city. Traveling by subway is the quickest way to get around the city. The second way to travel around the city is by public bus. It’s a slow way to travel because the bus moves on the road and the traffic (交通) is often heavy. You can travel around the city by taxi, too. This is the most expensive way, but the taxi will take you to the place you want to go to. If the traffic is heavy, the taxi will be slow. During the mornings and afternoons, this is the “rush hour”. This is the time when the traffic is very heavy with people going to and from work. The last way to get around New York is using your own car. However, it’s not easy for you to drive, especially (尤其是) when you are driving in the “rush hour”. If there is an accident (交通事故) on the road, you have to wait for a long time. The best time to travel around the city is from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m. This is the time after the morning “rush hour” and before the evening “rush hour”. Traffic is not so heavy because most people are already at school or at work. 1. According to the passage, how many ways can people travel around New York? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 2. Which of the following is RIGHT about “rush hour”? A．The subway only runs on the railroad lines in the “rush hour”. B．The taxi will not take you to the place in the “rush hour”. C．It is not easy for you to take a bus around the city in the “rush hour”. D．Traffic will be not so heavy in the “rush hour”. 3. If you travel in New York in your own car, which is the best time? A．From 8 a. m. to 10 a. m. B．From 3 a. m. to 10 p. m. C．From 3 a. m. to 5 p. m. D．From 10 a. m. to 3 p. m. 4. What is the passage mainly (主要) about? A．The weather of New York. B．The traffic of New York. C．The people in New York. D．The best time in New York. 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. D 4. B 【导语】本文主要介绍了纽约的交通。 1. 细节理解题。根据“In New York, you can travel around the city by subway”“The second way to travel around the city is by public bus”“You can travel around the city by taxi, too”以及“The last way to get around New York is using your own car”可知共有4种方式。故选C。 2. 细节理解题。根据“It’s a slow way to travel because the bus moves on the road and the traffic (交通) is often heavy.”以及“This is the time when the traffic is very heavy with people going to and from work.”可知在高峰时期，交通很拥挤，所以乘公共汽车在城市里转一圈并不容易。故选C。 3. 细节理解题。根据“The best time to travel around the city is from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m.”可知最好的时间是上午9点到下午4点。故选D。 4. 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了纽约的交通。故选B。 20 / 20 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$考前特训 阅读理解（说明文）仿真模拟 考前特训（人教版2024） 2024-2025学年七年级下学期 期末满分冲刺 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 内容提要 期末仿真题 期末模拟题 · Passage 1 The African baobab tree is a symbol of life in the dry savannah (稀树草原). It provides shelter, food, and water for humans and many animals. El Hadji Salifou Ouedraogo has planted thousands of baobab trees over the past 47 years, and now he has a big forest of them. This forest helps his family, community (社区) and many animals to live better. In his big baobab forest, there are more than 3,000 trees. These trees provide delicious fruit that has good stuff (东西) like vitamin C for animals like birds, lizards, monkeys, and even elephants.

Some of us sleep a lot and some of us sleep a little. So do animals. Let’s look at the histogram (柱状图) of their sleeping hours! Koalas come from Australia. They are lovely. They spend a long time sleeping and digesting (消化). Their food doesn’t have enough energy (能量) and is hard to digest. So, they sleep to save their energy. Lions are big sleepers too. They are likely to catch other animals at night or during the early hours of the day. At that time, most lions’ prey sleep. This makes the animals easier to catch. When not hunting (猎取), a lion always plays or sleeps on the ground. Giraffes don’t get very much sleep. Mostly they take short sleep while standing up, and they only lie down to get some deep sleep for about 30 minutes. Why? Because they are afraid of getting hurt by other animals while sleeping. Horses do most of their sleeping while standing up because they’re ready to run away. Usually horses only need 20 minutes to get some deep sleep. When the horse group lies down, one horse always stays awake to keep watch. However, you can find some horses sleeping for up to 6 hour a day if they feel safe. 1. Which animal sleeps the most according to the histogram? A．Koalas. B．Giraffes. C．Lions. D．Horses. 2. What do lions do when not hunting? A．Eat food. B．Kill animals. C．Sleep or play. D．Stand up. 3. Why do giraffes and horses sleep while standing up? A．Because they both need long sleep. B．Because they don’t like to lie down. C．Because they want to save energy.

D．To tell us different animals’ sleeping habits. Passage 3 Sounds are all around us, but is bird singing or car honking (鸣喇叭) music? And what is music? Sometimes sounds are put together in specific (特定的) ways to show feelings and tell stories. Such sounds are called music. Nowadays, music has become a part of people’s lives, no matter where they are. ▲ ? It carries special meanings on festivals. In fact, traditional festivals always get along with a certain kind of music. For example, when you think of the Chinese New Year, what brings to your mind is the happy songs about good luck and a new beginning. Music brings people closer together. Today, people all over the world can set aside their differences and sing and dance together in peace in a concert. Maybe they don’t really understand different languages, they can still enjoy the music together. Music is good for the human body. Studies show that when you listen to music, your brain sends things to make you feel happy and relaxed, and help you sleep better. You can also remember and learn better by listening to music. With all these reasons and benefits (益处) of music, people are always trying their best to make beautiful music. So people have made many kinds of instruments. From guitars in the street to violins in elegant concerts, instruments are everywhere to help people express themselves. 1. How does the writer begin the topic (话题)? A．By telling stories.

Do you know that humans (人类) have kept cats as pets for over 9,000 years? Without any facts, we can only guess at how humans and cats were together at first. Most people believe that cats were one of the last animals to be tamed (被驯化) and kept as pets in early Middle East. They were tamed after other animals like cows, dogs, pigs, and sheep because cats couldn’t make delicious milk or help humans carry any things. There are some things that cats can do well in, like getting mice, one of their favorite foods, and some other vermin that destroys (毁坏) the plants and is bad for humans. Some scientists said that this might be how cats and humans became friends. When early humans began farming for food, their food stores were a great place for hungry mice. Wild (野外的) cats weren’t going to let them run away, so they followed the mice into human villages. As time went on, cats could live with humans well. Finally, the wild cat of 9,000 years ago became the house cat of today. Unlike dogs, cats could leave their human owners and go back to the wild at any time. They don’t lose their natural abilities (能力): their perfect seeing at night and hearing, their sense of smell and so on. House cats can also get their own food. Some people may even wake up to see little “gifts” from their cat, like dead birds or mice. This kind of thing doesn’t make us angry too much, because there are now more than 600 million cats living in homes around the world. 1. Why do most people think cats were the last to be tamed? A．Because people found them at a late time. B．Because they were a little lazy at first. C．Because they were not useful like other animals. D．Because people didn’t like them very much. 2. What does “vermin” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．A kind of animal. B．A kind of food. C．A kind of plant. D．A kind of village. 3. What can the cats do according to the text? ①See things at night.     ②Help carry things.    ③Get something to eat.    ④Hear the sound well. A．①②③ B．①③④ C．②③④ D．①②④ 4. What’s the best title for the text? A．Cats and food. B．Cats and living places. C．Cats and humans. D．Cats and other animals. Passage 5 Finnish (芬兰的) schools are the best in Europe, some might say in the world. Only three countries—China, Singapore, and the Republic of Korea—can compete (竞争) with Finland in study. So, why is it so good? Surprisingly, Finnish children spend less time in school than the children in many other countries. They don’t start school until the age of seven. Their school days are short, and their vacations are long. Studying in Finland is relaxing. Classrooms often look like living rooms. Students don’t wear uniforms or formal (正式的) ones and they call teachers by their first names. What’s more, they have only 30 minutes of homework each night. Many people believe the key is that the teachers are so good. It’s a popular, well-paid job, and teachers are usually kind and not strict. Different from those in other countries, they also have their way of teaching. Rather than having separate subjects like history and geography, students learn everything together. There are seven things that Finnish students must learn in school: ·how to think clearly; ·how to understand and join in Finnish culture: ·how to use language and numbers;how to use technology; ·how to take care of themselves; ·how to be successful at work; ·how to be a good person for the future of Finland. After finishing high school, Finnish students can also get into university (大学) for free This is very different from the United States, where the cost is around $30,000! 1.

B．How do students learn in Finnish schools? C．What are learning subjects in Finnish schools? D．Why do Finnish students do well in study? Passage 6 Where does the wind come from? What makes the wind move all the time? Scientists tell us that the sun makes it move and blow. When the sun shines, it makes the land and the water hot. Then the land and water make the air hot. The warm air is light, so it goes up. The cool air moves in to take the place of (取代) the warm air. Warm and cool air move from place to place and that makes winds. When the wind changes speed, it often brings a change in the weather. When the air moves slowly, it makes light winds. But when the air moves very fast, it makes big winds. It can also tell us a lot about what the weather will be like. Air over the land is dry and that over the water is wet. Winds from the land or the water bring different kinds of weather. Some winds bring sunny or dry weather and other bring rainy or wet weather. 1. How does the writer start the passage? A．By listing numbers. B．By telling a story. C．By giving examples. D．By asking questions. 2. According to Paragraph 2, which picture best tells the movements of warm air and cool air? A． B． C．D． 3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．Weather report. B．School life. C．History. D．Science. Passage 7 Try to think about this: you sit down and begin to eat a tomato. Just then, the tomato starts to shout! This may not sound real, but a new study showed that plants made sounds(声音) when they “felt” worried. Scientists used ultrasonic microphones (超声波克风) to “hear” the sounds of tomato plants in boxes. What did they do? They listened to three groups of plants. Group 1 and Group 2 made sounds 30 to 50 times(次数) every hour. Group 3 only made 1 sound every hour. “When tomatoes are not worried at all, they are very quiet,” Lilach Hadany from the study team said. Who listens to these sounds? Animals may listen to the sounds in the forest. For example, the sound can tell them that the plant is worried and not good for laying eggs(产卵) on. When an animal wants to eat a plant, it can also use the sound to pick which one to eat. The scientists also listened to other plants, like rice. They also made more sounds when they were worried. Scientists say the study can help farmers in the future. They can help the plants grow better by “hearing” how plants feel. 1. What did the new study show us? A．Farmers can hear plants with their ears. B．Plants make sounds when they’re worried. C．Plants make no sounds when they’re scared. D．Animals make sounds when they are eating. 2. According to(根据) the study, what did the plant do when it had no water for 5 days? A．The plant got lost. B．The plant talked with animals. C．The plant kept quiet. D．The plant made more sounds. 3.

We need to put our toys away after playing. Also, we should respect our parents. Say “please” and “thank you”. And we have to finish our chores. This could be setting the table or taking out the litter. These rules teach us responsibility (责任感).Rules at School School has many rules, too. We must arrive on time. Being late is not allowed. In class, we follow the teacher’s order. We can’t talk loudly. We should put up our hands if we want to speak. Wearing the school uniform is a rule, too. It makes us look like a team.Rules in Public In public places, rules keep us safe. In a library, we must be quiet. This allows others to read. We can’t jump the queue. We have to wait our turn. On the road, we follow the traffic rules. We look both ways before crossing. Rules might seem like a trouble sometimes, but they are good for us. They make our world a better and safer place. We should all try to follow them. 1. Which is NOT a home rule according to the passage? A．Take care of things. B．Finish chores. C．Watch TV all day. D．Respect parents. 2.

If he is interested in it, he takes it home with bottles and puts it to his collection. His mom says that he has to stop soon because his room is getting full of water. ③My best friend collects cups. But not just any cups. They have to have something to do with tigers. They can have a picture of a tiger or can look like a tiger. ④I learned about a strange hobby when I was in the UK last year. When I was on a train, I saw a man reading a book. I looked at the name and found that I knew the book. So I said, “That is a good book. I really enjoy reading it.” He said, “Yes. But I’m reading it for a very special reason. You can see that it has a green cover(封面). My hobby is collecting books with green covers.” ⑤I had a good talk with him. He told me that he had more than one hundred books, all with green covers. He said that it was very difficult to find books with green covers. Green was not a color that people like to use on book covers. He spends a lot of time in bookstores. His dream is to have one wall in his house with green books on it. Strange, you might say.

Passage 10 Libraries are great places for people to read and study. Here are some of the best libraries in the world. Let’s come and know them. The National(国家的) Library of China (NLC) is in Beijing. With over 37,000,000 items(品), it is the largest library in Asia and one of the best libraries in the world. It keeps most of Chinese books in the world. The National Diet Library (NDL) is in Japan. It started in 1948 and its members talked about important things there. You can find most of the Japanese books there. And it has a lot of books in different languages, too. The Reading Room of the British Museum is in the British Museum. In history, many great people studied in this library, like Oscar Wilde and Mark Twain. In 2000, the library’s books were moved to the New British Library (the largest library in the UK) and the Reading Room now becomes an information center and keeps a lot of books about history, art and other subjects. The Harvard Library has more than 18,000,000 books. It started from 1938, and is the oldest library in the US and the largest school library in the world. As for the number of books, it is the third largest in the US, after the Library of Congress and the Boston Public Library.

We can live with no water for only about three days. So you can see water is really important for us! ②In fact, water helps our bodies in many ways. First, water keeps us healthy. Like trees and flowers need water to grow, our bodies need water to work well. Next, water is like a cleaner for our bodies. It can dust off our bodies and keep us healthy. Did you know that water also helps us stay cool when we feel hot? Our bodies get hot and sweaty (出汗的) when we play outside or run around. But drinking water cools us down and makes us feel good. It’s like a great drink on a hot day. Water is also good for our skin. It keeps our skin soft. So, if we want nice skin, we can drink enough water. ③But how much water should we drink? For most of us, eight glasses of water every day may be OK. But those who live or work in warmer places need to drink more water. That is because they lose more water than us. ④And we have to know some rules about drinking water. After getting up or one hour before meals, it is helpful to drink a glass of water. Drink often before we feel thirsty. In fact, when we feel thirsty, the body is already short of water. ⑤You see, water is so good for us.

Elephants are my favourite animals because they are strong and clever. They are a symbol of good luck in our country. They are our national animals, and we celebrate Thai Elephant Day on March 13th every year. Elephants are different from other animals. They are huge in size. With their long trunks, they are able to carry heavy things. They also have big ears. Elephants are similar to us in some ways. They are playful and love playing in the water. They have a good memory. For example, they can remember places with food and water after many years. They are also very kind. When an elephant is unwell, other elephants will help it. And the older elephants often look after the younger ones. Elephants play an important part in Thai culture and life. Sadly, they are in danger now. People cut down many trees and destroy their natural homes—forests. Some people even kill them for their ivory. We must do something to save the elephants.

Passage 13 Animals live in different places, and there are some “rules” in their worlds, just like we have rules in our lives. In the forest, there are many kinds of animals, such as foxes, wolves, and eagles. The big and strong animals like wolves often look for food. They need to be careful not to enter the territory (领地) of other strong animals. This is a kind of “rule” in the forest. If they break it, there may be a fight. In the ocean, sharks and whales are big animals. Sharks are good at hunting. They swim fast to catch smaller fish. But they also have to follow the “rule” of the ocean environment (环境). For example, they can’t overhunt in one place, or there won’t be enough food in the future. At the zoo, we also have rules to protect the animals. We mustn’t feed the animals with our own food. This is because our food may be bad for their health. We should just watch them quietly and not make too much noise to disturb them. We, as humans, also have a very important “rule” to follow. We need to protect the forests and oceans, which are the homes of these animals. We can’t cut down too many trees or pollute the water. If we break these rules, the animals will be in danger. In short, whether in the wild or in the zoo, there are rules related to animals. We should understand and respect these rules to keep a good balance between us and the animal world. 1.

One person dies every three minutes from heart disease and it’s more usual in men than women. Age is also important. 80% of people who die of heart disease are 65 or older. And it’s interesting that five times more men die of heart disease in the UK than in Japan. But there are many things you can do to help your heart stay healthy. Here are our top tips for a healthy heart! Stop smoking (抽烟). Everyone knows smoking brings you lung cancer (肺癌), it’s also very bad for your heart. If you only do one thing to help your heart, do this! Do more exercise. Regular exercise (four times a week for 30 minutes) is very good for your heart. Don’t eat a lot of fried food and only eat red meat once a week. This kind of food is bad for your heart because it’s high in fat. Eat fish twice or three times a week. It’s good for your heart because it’s low in fat and high in Omega-3. Don’t eat a lot of salt (盐). We only need about Ig of salt a day—most people eat about 6g. Eat more fruit and vegetables (you’d better eat five kinds a day). Don’t be too fat. It’s easier for fat people to get heart disease!

Passage 15 New York is a very large city with 8 million people. How do so many people move about the city on their way to work and school? So, we should know something about its transportation. In New York, you can travel around the city by subway. The subway runs on the railroad lines under the city. It crosses the city at different points and goes all parts of the city. Traveling by subway is the quickest way to get around the city. The second way to travel around the city is by public bus. It’s a slow way to travel because the bus moves on the road and the traffic (交通) is often heavy. You can travel around the city by taxi, too. This is the most expensive way, but the taxi will take you to the place you want to go to. If the traffic is heavy, the taxi will be slow. During the mornings and afternoons, this is the “rush hour”. This is the time when the traffic is very heavy with people going to and from work. The last way to get around New York is using your own car. However, it’s not easy for you to drive, especially (尤其是) when you are driving in the “rush hour”. If there is an accident (交通事故) on the road, you have to wait for a long time. The best time to travel around the city is from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m. This is the time after the morning “rush hour” and before the evening “rush hour”. Traffic is not so heavy because most people are already at school or at work. 1. According to the passage, how many ways can people travel around New York? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 2. Which of the following is RIGHT about “rush hour”? A．The subway only runs on the railroad lines in the “rush hour”. B．The taxi will not take you to the place in the “rush hour”.
