There is dancing, clapping and lots of smiling in it. Unlike most schools around the world, here the lessons are all about saving the Earth. The children do much of their learning outdoors. The Green School was set up by John Hardy and his wife, Cynthia. John once explained to me that he believes we can all live greener. “People worldwide are learning how to be green, but in unfriendly environments,” he said. “Green School kids are learning the same things, but they are also living it.” The school uses compostable (可堆肥的) toilets. Electricity comes from solar panels (太阳能电池板). Cooking is done with ingredients (原料) from the school and nearby farms. The school bus runs on used cooking oil. Students between the ages of three and twelve mainly learn math and reading. The school also helps them develop environmental awareness (意识) and problem-solving abilities through different tasks. At the end of the day, there is no homework for my daughter. There are only materials for after-school outdoor activities. The school is expensive. But Kitty is growing up in a way she could never have done at home in London. __▲__ 1. What can we learn about the Green School? A. John Hardy built it by himself. B. The Green School is in London. C. Children here do all of their learning outdoors. D. Children here learn how to be green in friendly environments. 2. How does the Green School go green? ①The school uses compostable toilets. ②The school bus runs on used cooking oil. ③They use electricity from solar panels. ④They cook with wood from the forest. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ②③④ D. ①③④ 3. Which of the following can be the last sentence in the article? A. I have to take her back to London. B. I think I have made a wise decision for her. C. She can learn more about math and reading. D. She is too young to develop environmental awareness. 【答案】DAB B A strange thing happened last Sunday. It was such a beautiful day that I drove to go for a look in the country. On the way back home, my car stopped. It was out of gas on a lonely road far from a town. I decided to walk until I found someone who could sell me gas. I had walked almost a mile before I finally found a house near the road. I was glad to see it, because it was getting dark. I knocked at the door and a little old lady with long white hair answered. She said, “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Come in. Tea is almost ready.” “But I only come for some gas,” I answered. I couldn’t imagine what she was talking about. “Oh, Alfred! Gas? You used to like tea.” I quickly explained that my car was out of gas, but she didn’t seem to hear me. She just kept calling me Alfred and talking about how long it had been since she had seen me. She was acting very strangely and I was anxious (急切的) to leave. As soon as she went to get tea, I went out of the house as fast as I could. Fortunately, there was another house down the road and I was able to buy the gas I needed. When I told the man about my experience, he said, “Oh, that’s Miss Emily. She lives by herself in that big house. She’s strange but she wouldn’t hurt anybody. She is still waiting for the man she was going to marry thirty years ago. The day before their Wedding, he left home and never came back because of the war.” 1. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to in the passage? A. The road. B. The house. C. The weather. D. The old lady. 2. Why did the writer go to the woman’s house? A. Because the woman invited him to visit her house. B. Because his car had no gas and he wanted to buy some. C. Because the woman’s house was very beautiful, and he wanted to have a visit to it. D. Because his car was broken and he wanted the woman to help him repair it. 3. Who is Alfred? A. The man who sold the gas to the writer. B. The writer. C. The man whom the woman was going to marry. D. The woman. 4. From the passage, we can know that ____ . A. Miss Emily has been married for 30 years. B. Miss Emily had a happy life with her family. C. Miss Emily’s neighbor didn’t know about her. D. The man who was going to marry Emily died in the war. 5. According to the passage, what can we infer? A. Miss Emily was mad. B. Miss Emily was a young lady. C. The writer was the man Miss Emily was going to marry. D. Miss Emily’s neighbour was waiting for her. 【答案】BBCDA C ①We can see circles, squares and triangles everywhere in our daily life. Have you thought about their meanings in films? Much like colors, different shapes can show different features of characters in the scenes. ②Circles represent things that are soft and natural. The round shape reminds us of things that appear in nature, like the sun, flowers, raindrops and so on. We can also connect circles with beautiful eyes, babies’ round faces…All these things make us feel happy and warm. This is why so many cartoon characters’ bodies — heroes, kids, good people — are round in shape, because circles represent goodness, happiness and friendliness. ③Squares show things that are unnatural or man-made, or things that are boring or old-fashioned. In Up, Carl, an elderly man, has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, an 8-year-old boy with a round face, always wears round medals. These shapes show the characters’ personalities. Carl is stubborn (执拗的) and lonely, while Russell is lovely and full of energy. ④The angriest shape is the triangle. Every kid who draws a monster with sharp teeth draws a row of triangles, don’t they? That’s because the shape represents fear, distrust and doubt in some way. Look at the bad guys in cartoons — they are all drawn with plenty of points and triangles, like Shengongbao in Ne Zha. And triangles are stable (稳固的) and don’t easily fall down. In films, this feature makes bad people difficult to deal with. ⑤Not only in cartoons, but also in other kinds of films, different shapes are used for the same purpose. So, next time you see a film, try to find the hidden shapes and you will know what the characters are like. 1. The writer explains the relationship between squares and personalities of cartoon characters by ____ . A. telling a story B. giving an example C. raising a question D. showing the results of a study 2. Why is Shengongbao mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. Because kids think he is a monster. B. Because he has a row of sharp teeth. C. Because he is a bad guy in the film. D. Because he is not easy to deal with. 3. What does the underlined word “triangle” refer to? A. B. C. D. 4. Which of the following is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 5. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Why different shapes represent different things. B. What makes heroes in films have great charm. C. What different shapes represent in films. D. How to make cartoons with different colors and shapes. 【答案】BCAAC D The following passages are taken from the diary of Anne Frank. July 8,1942 At three o’clock, the doorbell rang. Margot appeared in kitchen doorway. She looked very nervous. “Father has received a call-up notice from the Nazi secret police.” she said. I was shocked. A call-up. Everyone knows what that means. Pictures of Nazi camps went through my mind. “Of course, he’s not going,” said Margot. “Mother has gone to see Mr. van Daan to ask whether we can move to our hiding place tomorrow.” Silence. We couldn’t speak. The long wait for Mother, the heat and the uncertainty — this reduced us to silence. July 9,1942 Here’s a description of the building. Wooden stairs lead to the third floor. At the top of the stairs is a landing, with doors on either side. The door on the left takes you up to the spice storage area and the attic (阁楼) in the front part of the house. The other door leads to the Secret Annex at the back of the house. No one would ever doubt there was such a wonderful hiding place behind that grey door! October 9,1942 Today, I have nothing but sad news to report. Many of our Jewish friends are being taken away. The Nazi secret police are taking them to Westerbork, the big camp in Drenthe. It must be terrible in Westerbork. The people get almost nothing to eat, and much less to drink, as water is offered for only one hour a day. And there’s only one toilet for several thousand people. Men and women sleep in the same room. All Running away is almost impossible. I feel terrible. 1. What made Anne shocked while hearing her father’s call-up notice? A. The uncertainty of their future. B. The long wait for her mother. C. The fear of being separated from her family. D. The possibility of being taken to Nazi camps. 2. The Secret Annex is ____ .

Talent (天赋) can’t, for there are many talented people who are not successful. __5__________ Only persistence and determination (决心) can give you the power to succeed.” You see, you can succeed just like anyone else.

For the first time in history, people could talk to someone far away just like they were in the same room. But today, phones can do much more than just make calls! The story of mobile phones began with two-way radios. These early devices (设备) had a big problem—they only worked when people were close to each other. In the 1940s, smart scientists found a way. They built tall radio towers across the country to pass signals (信号) easily. Everything changed in 1973 when Dr. Martin Cooper made the first real mobile phone call. During the 1980s, mobile phones became smaller but were still very expensive. Only rich business people could afford them, and the phones looked like big plastic bricks. The 1990s brought another big change. Phones became cheaper and smaller, fitting easily in pockets. Soon, almost everyone had one. Text messaging became popular. People started writing short messages instead of making phone calls. Meeting time became more flexible (灵活的) because you could just text “I’ll be 15 minutes late.” Now we have smartphones — like powerful mini-computers in our pockets. We use them to take photos, watch videos, play games, and even help with housework! Messaging apps let us send videos and long messages easily. While phones help us stay connected, some people worry that we spend too much time on them. Looking back, it’s amazing how phones have changed. From Bell’s simple telephone to today’s smartphones, this has truly changed our lives. What will phones be able to do next? Only time will tell! 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过10个单词。 1. When did Alexander Graham Bell invent the telephone? ___________________________________________________________ 2. Why did scientists build tall radio towers in the 1940s? ___________________________________________________________ 3. Who made the first real mobile phone call? ___________________________________________________________ 4. How can smartphones help us in our lives?

We can use them to take photos and watch videos./We can play games and do housework with them./… 5. They might be as small as an eraser./They could be used as daily tools like wallets or keys./Future phones might be connected to our brains./They can show our ideas directly./… 第 1 页 共 12 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
