In the village, Mr. Thornton kept a store where he sold all kinds of fruits, including berries when in season. One morning he said to Amy, “Well, Amy, I noticed some fine blackberries on Mr. Green’s farm today. He said that he welcomed anyone to come and pick them. I will pay you 13 cents a kilogram for all you pick for me.”
Amy was excited because she wanted to make some money to help her Mum. She quickly ran home to get a basket to hold berries. Then she would like to know how much money she would get if she picked five kilograms. After finding out that she would get 65 cents, she started to daydream (做白日梦), “If I should pick ten kilograms, how much will I make then?”
“Dear me!” She shouted, and after thinking for a while, she cried out with joy, “I would make a dollar and 30 cents!”
It took her some time to make the dream bigger, and then it was so near lunchtime that she had to stay at home until the afternoon.
As soon as lunch was over, she took her basket and hurried to the farm. Some kids had been there before lunch, and almost all the blackberries were picked. She couldn’t find half a kilogram to fill her basket. Then she thought of what her teacher often told her, “Do your task at once. One doer is worth 100 dreamers.”

A. She always finished her task at once.
B. She always refused to help others if they didn’t pay her.
C. She always wasted too much time getting prepared.

Do you yawn (打哈欠)? There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They do not know exactly why it happens, but they 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 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? Scientists found that it 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 relax the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. 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.
All in all, scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do.
43. What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. easy to fall asleep B. easy to take in
C. easy to change D. easy to pass on to others
44. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 3?
A. Sleeping. B. Running. C. Yawning. D. Relaxing.
45. Why does Yawning make people notice things more quickly?
A. Because a yawn can help a warm brain cool down.
B. Because a yawn can let good things in.
C. Because a yawn can help them feel less bored.
D. Because a yawn can let people breathe deeply and relax the muscles.
46. What is the main idea of paragraph 5?
A. The time people yawn. B. The different ideas about Yawning.
C. The ways people yawn. D. The reasons people yawn.
47. What would be the best structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
【答案】43. D 44. C 45. D 46. B 47. D

The earth is full of plants. Since the moon is so close to our earth, is there any possibility that plants can live in the moon soil?
For many years, testing the moon soil has been the scientists’ dream. The chance finally came as the astronauts returning back from the moon, carrying some well protected moon soil.
After knowing what moon soil are made of, scientists made some fake (仿制的) moon soil from the earth. They planted some seeds in the two kinds of soil and took good care of them, waiting to see what would happen. To their surprise, the seeds sprouted (发芽) and began to grow in both groups. But the plants in the real moon soil grew more slowly than those in the fake moon soil.
As a result, the moon soil may have something that is not suitable for plants’ growth. In order to solve the problem, choosing the soil from the younger geological (地质的) places on the moon and creating a more suitable growing environment for the plants may be a possible solution.
The research not only helps us study the nature of the moon soil, but also provides us with a chance to think about whether it is possible to plant on the moon and live on the moon. No matter how hard it is, we should have confidence in the development of technology and believe that good things are around the corner.
48. How does the writer introduce the topic in paragraph 1?
A. By showing an example. B. By giving an answer.
C. By telling a story. D. By asking a question.

A. To provide food for the astronauts. B. To test the possibility of planting on the moon.
C. To make fake moon soil. D. To collect more soil from the moon.
50. What does the writer tell us in paragraph 5?
A. The result of the research. B. The process (过程) of the research.
C. The meaning of the research. D. The difficulty of the research.
51. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A. Scientists can do tests on the moon easily.
B. The author doesn’t think people will move to the moon to live.
C. The author is confident about the future study of the moon.

Don’t Worry and Be Happy
Good morning, everyone Today, I’d like to share my experience with you. Last month, I failed a math test. I was so worried that I even lost interest in studying. However, I decided to face it bravely.
First, I asked my teacher for help, and she helped me to find out the mistakes and correct them. Then I made a new study plan. I spent 20 minutes every day reviewing and then practicing math problems. Day by day, my grades improved.

Amy was a little girl who lived in a village. She was always wasting time getting prepared to do her tasks, instead of doing them at once.
In the village, Mr. Thornton kept a store where he sold all kinds of fruits, including berries when in season. One morning he said to Amy, “Well, Amy, I noticed some fine blackberries on Mr. Green’s farm today. He said that he welcomed anyone to come and pick them. I will pay you 13 cents a kilogram for all you pick for me.”
Amy was excited because she wanted to make some money to help her Mum. She quickly ran home to get a basket to hold berries. Then she would like to know how much money she would get if she picked five kilograms. After finding out that she would get 65 cents, she started to daydream (做白日梦), “If I should pick ten kilograms, how much will I make then?”
“Dear me!” She shouted, and after thinking for a while, she cried out with joy, “I would make a dollar and 30 cents!”
It took her some time to make the dream bigger, and then it was so near lunchtime that she had to stay at home until the afternoon.
As soon as lunch was over, she took her basket and hurried to the farm. Some kids had been there before lunch, and almost all the blackberries were picked.

Do you yawn (打哈欠)? There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They do not know exactly why it happens, but they 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 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? Scientists found that it 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 relax the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. 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.
All in all, scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do.
43. What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. easy to fall asleep B. easy to take in
C. easy to change D. easy to pass on to others
44. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 3?
A. Sleeping. B. Running. C. Yawning. D. Relaxing.
45. Why does Yawning make people notice things more quickly?
A. Because a yawn can help a warm brain cool down.
B. Because a yawn can let good things in.
C. Because a yawn can help them feel less bored.
D. Because a yawn can let people breathe deeply and relax the muscles.
46. What is the main idea of paragraph 5?
A. The time people yawn. B. The different ideas about Yawning.
C. The ways people yawn. D. The reasons people yawn.
47. What would be the best structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
D
