A. an email B. a notice C. a poster D. a report B My aunt moved to the US from China 15 years ago. This year, my mom and I went to the US to visit my aunt. During the first week, my aunt showed us around the neighborhood and told us where to do food shopping, to post letters and to have haircuts. I am quite good at remembering directions, so the second week I started walking the dog by myself. One day, my aunt wanted to cook chicken curry (咖喱鸡) for dinner and asked me to buy some chicken. I was quite nervous about doing the shopping by myself, but I decided to give it a go. I walked to the supermarket and went directly to the area where there were all kinds of meat. I always tried to save money while doing the shopping, so the bag that said “Special” immediately caught my eye. On the bag there were two words “chicken frame”. I knew the word “chicken”, but I had no idea what the word “frame” meant. “Anyway, this must be chicken.” I said to myself. Happily, I picked up the bag, paid for it and ran all the way back to my aunt’s house. When I handed the bag to my aunt, there was a strange look on her face. She said, “Helen, this is a chicken frame, so there’s not much meat. Inside the bag are actual chicken bones.” I felt so bad that I didn’t ask before I bought it. Then my aunt said, “It doesn’t matter. We can’t have chicken curry tonight, but we can have chicken soup. And we don’t have to return or waste it.” 39. What did the writer do in the first week in the US? A. She had a good haircut. B. She did some shopping. C. She posted letters back to China. D. She learned about the neighborhood. 40. How did the writer feel when she was asked to buy some chicken? A. Sad. B. Worried. C. Confident. D. Surprised. 41. Why did the writer buy the chicken frame? A. She thought it was chicken. B. She loved the chicken frame. C. She didn’t notice the word “frame”. D. She wanted to try the new food. 42. What is the best title of the text? A. A Day in My Aunt’s B. Traveling in the US C. A Shopping Mistake D. Learning to Cook C ① “Drink eight cups of water.” We’ve all heard the advice. But according to a new research, it’s unnecessary for most healthy adults. ② Early in 1945, the U. S. National Research Council (国家研究委员会) advised adults to drink about 1.9 liters (升) of water daily. The suggestion is about a person’s total daily intake (摄入) of water from fruit, vegetables and soup. But many people believe they should drink eight glasses of water every day. ③ So, how much water do you need to drink daily? The study found that it’s different from one person to another. It depends on your age, size, physical activity and the weather in your city. ④ Our needs for water are the highest between the ages of 20 and 50. After that, the needs slowly go down. That’s because our metabolism (新陈代谢) slows down after the age of 50, and our needs for water go down, too. ⑤ Also, since men usually have larger bodies than women, they need more water. People whose jobs need more physical activities need more water than those who work in the office. And people who live in the place with hot weather need more water than those who live in the place with cold weather. ⑥ All in all, most of you don’t have to work out how much water you need by measuring (测量) your size and physical activity. Just drink whenever you are thirsty. 43. Which picture shows the right relations between X and Y? X: our age Y: our needs for water A. B. C. D. 44. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________. A. the misunderstanding of drinking water advice B. the amount of water people need to drink daily C. the new research on drinking water D. the suggestion from the U. S. National Research Council 45. What’s the best structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. D Have you heard of the three Rs—“Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”? They help cut down on waste. In China, a creative idea came to life at the Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring tourist area (鸣沙山月牙泉景区) in Dunhuang, Gansu Province. The area launched an “Exchange Trash for Gifts” program. How does it work? Visitors get a trash bag from workers, collect litter around the site, and then exchange the trash for small gifts like key chains or fridge magnets (磁铁). Wang Keshou, a cleaner, is pleased to see many visitors helping pick up trash. “This has made my job much easier,” he says. Mrs. Yang, a visitor from Tianjin, spent a pleasant day at the area with her child. Her kid was excited to collect trash for gifts. Mrs. Yang thinks the activity is meaningful. “It teaches children not to litter and that waste should go in the right place. Everyone has a role in protecting the environment,” she says. The program starts at 8:30 pm daily, and visitors can exchange their trash for gifts one hour later. It will continue until mid-October. 46. How do visitors get gifts in the activity? A. By buying them at the site. B. By picking up trash and exchanging it. C. By helping workers clean. D. By answering environmental questions. 47. Why does Wang Keshou feel happy? A. Fewer visitors come to the area. B. He can get more gifts from visitors. C. Visitors help reduce his cleaning work D. The activity brings more visitors. 48. The underlined word “launched” in Paragraph 2 means ________. A. started B. stopped C. changed D. praised 49. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to visit Dunhuang’s tourist areas. B. The importance of the three Rs. C. A successful environmental activity in China. D. The importance of reducing waste in daily life. E You’ve probably heard how Chinese culture is filled with simple ways of staying fit. Baduanjin, also known as Eight Pieces of Brocade, doesn’t need much space or time. Using special breathing skills, it’s good for both physical and mental health. Now let’s take a closer look at these Chinese exercises.

There are eight movements (动作) in Baduanjin, each with its own focus. It has been handed down through the years as eight short, simple parts. Let’s go through them one by one. 50. What do we know about Baduanjin from the passage? A. It improves both physical and mental health. B. It’s a new form of Chinese exercise. C. It requires a special place to practice. D. It’s only for young people. 51. Which of the following can be put into ▲ ? A. People can only do Baduanjin well by learning from teachers. B.

In my growing up life, I have been looking for ways to improve myself. First, we should always obey traffic rules when crossing the road. In public places, it is necessary to behave politely. For example, we must keep quiet in the library. Then, learning to care about others is also important. We can donate our pocket money to charities and work as volunteers at the community centre. Moreover, we can save water by taking shorter showers. It’s wise for us to choose public transport, because protecting the environment can help us live a green life. Finally, as a middle school student, I plan to finish my homework on time and read more meaningful books in the next two months. Follow these ways and I am sure I can improve myself and become a better person. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
