Read the following information about things that may happen in ten years. Cars will run on solar power （太阳能） and will be much cleaner. They will be much safer. For example，if you are too close to another car or if you are driving dangerously，your car will slow down or stop by itself. Because there won't be any spare land，new cities will have to be built in the sea. Some cities on water will have two levels （层）. People will live on the upper level；the lower level will be used for traffic，shops and factories. Biotechnology （生物技术） will make food better and healthier. Plants without insects or illnesses （病虫害） will be developed. The taste of fruit and vegetables will be better and food will be kept longer. New technology will be used to make TVs that are only 5 cm thick. They will have pictures that are as clear as photos. Electrical appliances （电器） will be quieter and will be controlled by computer；they will also use 50% less power. Many new ways to cure （治愈） illnesses will be found.

B 篇 Have you ever heard of e-waste （电子垃圾），which can be produced every day？How do you deal with your computers，MP4 players and mobile phones when they're broken or you want a new one？ Most people just throw them away. With the development of electric industry，e-waste pollution has become a serious problem. According to the United Nations，in 2014，people around the world produced 41.8 million tons of e-waste and only recycled 6.5 million tons. The US was the biggest waster，producing 7.1 million tons. China came second，with 6 million tons. It's important to pay attention to e-waste. It can either be valuable or harmful （有害的），depending on how we deal with it. E-waste is a valuable urban mine （城市矿藏）. The value of the metals，like gold and silver in the waste around the world，is amazing. And the metals can be reused. But if people throw them away，the toxic chemicals （有毒化学物质） can get into the earth or air，affecting the environment and people's health. Apple，for example，now recycles people's used products in China when they are buying new ones. The company will test and repair the used ones and sell them at lower prices. To help reduce （减少） e-waste，we can also take computers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programs. ( ) 1. The following can become e-waste EXCEPT . A. computers B. mobile phones C. plastic bags D. MP4 players ( ) 2. Which country produced most e-waste in 2014 according to the United Nations？ A. America. B. China. C. Japan. D. Australia. ( ) 3. What does the underlined word "affecting" mean in this passage？ A. 保护 B. 影响 C. 改善 D. 创造 ( ) 4. From Paragraph 4，we learn that . A. the recycle Apple products will be sold at higher prices B. buying longer lasting electronic products is a good way to reduce e-waste C. it's better to keep the unwanted electronics in your bedroom D. some companies offer to recycle the used electronic products C 篇 The food we eat seems to have a great effect on our health. Although science has made big steps in making food more fit to eat，it has，at the same time，made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of human illness is related to food and forty percent of cancer is related to food as well. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945，some researchers realized that things commonly used to keep colors in meats and other food additives （添加剂） caused cancer. Yet，these additives remain in our food，and it is difficult to know which things on the wrappings （包装） of foods are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to their animals，and because of this，penicillin has been found in the milk of cows. Sometimes similar things are supplied to animals not for their health，but just to make a profit. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market. Although some countries have tried to control such things，the practice continues. ( ) 1. According to this passage，we can know . A. perhaps most of human illness is caused by what we eat B. perhaps most kinds of cancer are related to what people eat C. cancer was discovered in 1945 D. science has made food unfit to eat ( ) 2. Things that are used to keep colors in meats are . A. harmful B. useless C. helpless D. delicious ( ) 3. Which of the following is NOT true？ A. Some wrappings of foods are harmful. B. Farmers try to make more money on the market by fattening their animals. C. "The practice continues" means "things are still going on like that". D. We needn't take care of what we eat. D 篇 When you are learning English，you find it not clever to put an English sentence，word for word，into your own language. Take the sentence "How do you do？" as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary，one at a time，what is your translation？It must be a wrong sentence in your own language. Languages do not just have different sounds，they are different in many ways. It's important to master （掌握） the rules for word order in the study of English，too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order，the listener can't understand the speaker's sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed，the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed，the meaning of the sentence doesn't change. Let's see the difference between the two pairs of sentences. "She only likes apples." "Only she likes apples." "I have seen the film already." "I have already seen the film." When you are learning English，you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speakers do. ( ) 1. From the passage we know that when we are learning English. A. we shouldn't put every word into our own language B. we should look up every word in the dictionary C. we need to put every word into our own language D. we must read word by word ( ) 2. The writer thinks it is in learning English. A. difficult to understand different sounds B. possible to remember the word order C. important to master the rules for word order D. easy to master the rules for word order ( ) 3. We can learn from the passage that . A. the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of the words B. the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentence C. sometimes different order of words has a different meaning D. if the order of words is different，the meaning of the sentence must be different ( ) 4. "She only likes apples." . A. is the same as "Only she likes apples." B. is different from "Only she likes apples." C. means "She likes fruit except apples." D. means "She doesn't like apples." ( ) 1. What does the underlined word "addicts" mean in Chinese? A. 医生 B. 瘾君子 C. 开发者 D. 受益者 ( ) 2. How many hours do Internet addicts spend online every week? A. At least 30-40 hours. B. At least 13-14 hours. C. At least 40-50 hours. D. At least 50-60 hours. ( ) 3. What can we infer from the passage? A. Surfing the net is good for people's health. B. Internet addiction is not a serious problem. C. Spending too much time online may affect real-life relationships. D. People should spend all their time on the Internet. F 篇 Do you know that tea, the most popular drink in the world (after water), was invented by accident? Many people believe that tea was first drunk about 5,000 years ago. It is said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink. One day Shen Nong was boiling drinking water over an open fire. Some leaves from a tea plant fell into the water and remained there for some time. It produced a nice smell so he tasted the brown water. It was quite delicious, and so, one of the world's favorite drinks was invented. A few thousand years later, Lu Yu, "the saint of tea", mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea. It also discusses where the finest tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used. It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England, tea didn't appear until around 1660, but in less than 100 years, it had become the national drink. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to spread the popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese are without doubt the ones who best understand the nature of tea. (1) When was tea first drunk according to the passage? (不超过 5 个词) (2) Who wrote the book Cha Jing? (不超过 5 个词) (3) When did the tea trade from China to Western countries take place? (不超过 5 个词) 五、单词拼写（共 5 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 5 分） 根据首字母及汉语提示，完成下列单词的拼写，使句意明确，语言通顺。 1.My brother likes collecting stamps. He has a large c______ (收藏) of them. 2.The little girl is afraid of the d______ (黑暗).

Once, I struggled with English listening. I couldn’t catch the key information in tapes and got low scores. I felt upset but didn’t give up. I asked my teacher for advice. She told me to listen to English songs and news daily. I followed her suggestion: I listened to easy songs first, then tried news. I also took notes of new words. Gradually, I improved a lot. From this, I learn that difficulties are not 可怕的. As long as we keep trying, we can overcome them. Never be afraid, and success will come. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
