Potatoes have become China’s fourth staple food (主食) after rice, wheat and corn. Using potatoes as a staple can make our diets healthier and more balanced. They are good for us in many ways. Potatoes are nutritious (有营养的). They are rich in vitamin C． A potato’s vitamin C is as rich as 10 apples. Potatoes are also low in calories—they have just 75 percent of the amount of calories that wheat and corn have. Also, potatoes are easy to grow. People can grow them in almost every part of China. Potatoes don’t need much water to grow. China is facing water shortage problems, so potatoes are a good choice. Many Chinese people think potatoes are only vegetables. They cook potatoes along with other ingredients (材料). But as a staple, potatoes can be cooked differently. Scientists have found ways to make potato flour, noodles and other staple foods, just like how we use rice or wheat. 1．What does the underlined phrase “a big change” in paragraph 1 mean?

Long ago, when the god first planted a tree in the garden, it was full of energy and kept moving. Then the god pulled (拔) the tree out and planted it upside down (颠倒) to make sure it stayed in one place. What’s the tree? It’s the baobab tree, also called the monkey bread tree, the bottle tree or others. The baobab tree is a strange-look tree that grows in Africa and Australia. Just like its name “the bottle tree”, it looks like a large bottle. Some grow as tall as a 16-floor building. During the dry season, these trees are standing there without leaves, and look like trunks (树干) sticking up in the air. But when the rainy season comes, leaves appear and then flowers come out. Later, the flowers can turn into fruit. The baobab is called “the tree of life”, because it can live for more than 1,000 years. In the dry land, the baobab can pull in and hold 1,000 gallons of water. Thirsty people can drink the water stored in the tree. The fruit, monkey bread, is good to eat. Baobab leaves are a kind of medicine (药). People can use the bark (树皮) to make paper or cloth. When a baobab gets old, its trunk becomes hollow. An old tree can hold many people. The local people often build their houses inside these trunks. It is such a useful tree that some people can hardly live without it. 5．How does the writer begin the text?

Studies show that they take away harmful (有害的) things from the air. Maybe you can stay away from colds and sore throats. And even if you get sick, Aloe Vera plants may help you get better faster. ③Aloe Vera plants can be used as medicine. Aloe Vera gel (胶体) helps to deal with the pain (痛) of burns.

To get this gel, just cut off a part of the plant, and put the gel on the affected skin (患处). ④ Aloe Vera plants are also popular in the food industry (工业). If you are interested in Aloe juice, you’ll easily find it in the supermarket.

Animals are people’s good friends. Many people hope to talk with their pets in everyday life. This may sound too good to be true, but scientists are now using AI to help make this dream come true. Karen Bakker, a teacher at the University of British Columbia in Canada, believes that AI will bring humans (人类) closer to the world of animals and plants in the future. “AI helps humans talk with bats and bees,” Bakker said. How does it work? When bats talk with each other, scientists first record their sounds and input (输入) them into a computer. Then, they use AI to find out what the bats say and try to speak back to them. Humans cannot hear these sounds with their own ears, but AI makes it possible for us to understand and “speak” back to the bats by training a computer to “speak” like a bat. Scientists also found an interesting fact: When baby bats start to learn to “speak”, mother bats often lower (降低) their voices. However, human mothers often raise (提高) their voices during this time. As for bees, scientists use a computer to both listen to and watch them in order to study their language. Scientists now know how bees send messages like “stop”. They even made a robot bee that can talk with other bees. 19．What does the underlined word “This” refer to? A．Keeping pets. B．Talking with pets. C．Using AI to help animals. D．Making friends with animals. 20．What do we know about mother bats? A．They never talk with their babies. B．They are good at looking after babies. C．They act the same way as human mothers do. D．They often talk to their babies in a lower voice. 21．Why does the writer write the passage? A．To advise us to use AI to talk with bees and bats. B．To tell us an interesting talk between bees and bats. C．To show us the scientists’ care for the bees and bats. D．To show us how scientists use AI to talk with bees and bats.

Some people make you feel comfortable when they are with you. You spend an hour talking to them and feel as if you have known them half your life. These good talkers have something similar. And once we know what it is,we can try to do it ourselves. First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, however shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It’s a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go. Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. Your questions should have a point. This helps to tell what kind of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully. Real listening at least means some things. It means not to change the subject of conversation very often. If someone sticks to (坚持) one topic, you can know that he’s really interested in it. Moreover, real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones (语调) of voice. If the voice sounds boring, then, it’s time for you to change the subject. Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the moment of leaving. If you’re saying good-bye, you may give him a friendly handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you. ” If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life. 25．A real listener is a person who ________.

But do you know that we also do communication with ourselves from time to time? Imagine 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 (内心的) 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 pay attention to your thoughts and feelings. When you find that your mind is full of negative (消极的) thoughts and feelings, and 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. 31．How does the writer explain the idea of intrapersonal communication in Paragraph 1? A．By providing numbers. B．By giving an example.

A．The Importance of Communicating with Others B．Learn to Communicate with Yourself C．How to Communicate Better with Others When I got into middle school, I thought I just needed to study. My parents would do all the housework. I often threw my things on the bed and sofa, so our house was always in a mess. One day, when my mother came home after work and found a lot of rubbish in our house, she was so angry. She said to me seriously, “You must do some housework every day from now on.” At first, I didn’t think it is fair for me to do that. However, I followed what my mother said. After a few days, I understood that doing housework was harder than I had imagined. How hard my parents were! They had to do a lot of housework after work, so I must help them much more at home. I tried to do different kinds of housework in my house, so they could have a good rest when they got home. My parents were pretty happy, and they were proud of my change. We children should not always depend on parents too much. Learn to do housework by ourselves, and it will help us a lot when we live alone. 36．How did the writer feel at first when his mother asked him to do some housework? A．Glad. B．Surprised.
