There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts yawn 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 do 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? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn 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 stretch (强化) the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums stretch, too. 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. Scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do. 1. Tthe underlined word “contagious” in Paragraph 2 means able to ____ . A. breathe easily B. spread quickly C. change easily D. sleep quickly 2. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5? A. Reasons for yawning. B. Advantages (优势) of yawning. C. Disadvantages (劣势) of yawning. D. Different ideas about yawning. 3. What would be the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】ADB 【解析】 1. 词义猜测题。根据第2段“We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too.（我们也知道打哈欠可以传染，当你看到别人打哈欠时，你也会跟着打哈欠。）”可知划线词在此处表示“可以传播的”。故选A。 2. 段落大意题。根据第5段“In some countries, people think yawning is not nice.（在一些国家，人们认为打哈欠是不好的。）”和“In other countries, people think yawning is healthy.（在其它国家，人们认为打哈欠是健康的。）”可知本段介绍了打哈欠的不同看法。故选D。 3. 篇章结构题。第1段引出人们为什么打哈欠这个问题，第2至5段分别介绍打哈欠的原因及不同的看法，最后一段介绍打哈欠是没有伤害的。故选B。 C One Sunday, I decided to tidy my bookshelf up. Suddenly, a white envelope (信封) fell to the floor. Whose letter? I couldn’t remember putting the envelope on my shelf. It must be put here by someone years ago! Then I opened the envelope carefully.

But if you look inside yourselves, you can light your path and find out where to go. Remember the saying “You reap (收获) what you sow (播种)”. The way you act will have an influence on your life. Be careful with every step. Be positive (积极的) as much as possible. All of you are great children. I hope you can understand what I mean. Be kind to others and to yourselves.

Then someone screamed and a voice shouted, “Bring a towel (毛巾) quickly.” The man in the grey suit was lying across the table. He was holding his face, which was red with blood. On the table there was broken glass. Someone asked in a loud voice, “What happened? Did he fall?” Several people were speaking at the same time. “It’s his heart, you know.” “He has been in and out of hospital for years…” “…his head hit those glasses.” The man was still lying across the table. Jennifer jumped up, and both she and Claire ran over to him. “We’re nurses,” said Jennifer. “Can we help?” There was a cut on the side of the man’s face. It was deep and he was losing a lot of blood. A waiter ran up with a towel. Jennifer took it and held it to the cut. The man’s mouth was open and he was making strange noises. “He needs a doctor. We’ll have to get him to hospital,” Jennifer said. She turned to Claire and asked, “You came here in your car, didn’t you?” “Yes. Let’s take him to hospital,” Claire replied. They helped the man outside and put him in Claire’s car. Jennifer jumped in beside him and they drove off. She was still holding the towel to the man’s face. The blood was not coming so fast and he was beginning to feel a little better. “Where.…where are we going?” he asked. “Are you taking me home?” “Just stay there and don’t speak,” Jennifer told him. “You fell and hurt yourself. You’ll be all right, but you must see a doctor. We’ll be at the hospital in a few minutes.” As soon as he heard the word “hospital”, the man tried to sit up. “No, no,” he said angrily, “I don’t need to go to hospital. I’m feeling better now. Just take me home. And who are you?” “I’m a nurse,” Jennifer told him. “And you need to see a doctor. We’re nearly there now. Just sit still and stop talking.” But the man was feeling stronger and he would not be quiet. He pulled at Jennifer’s arm and said loudly, “I don’t need a doctor. It’s just a small cut on my face. I’m all right now. Take me home!” When Jennifer did not answer him, he said in a quieter voice, “Please listen to me. I’m feeling fine. There’s no need to take me to hospital. They’ll want to keep me there — they always do, because of my bad heart. I have to meet some business people the day after tomorrow. It’s very important to me. So just stop the car and I can take a taxi home.” Soon, the car stopped at the door of the hospital. A nurse came to meet them. When Claire told her about the accident, Jennifer helped the man out of the car. He said something angrily to the nurse, but after a few seconds, he went with her into the hospital. Jennifer and Claire drove away. “What a difficult man!” Claire said angrily. “No ‘Thank you for your help.’ or ‘You’re very kind.’” “Some people never say thank you,” Jennifer said. “Don’t worry about it.” —Adapted from Ear-Rings from Frankfurt 1.

Having a special connection with kites, Yang learned the technique from her grandfather at the age of 16. After practising the technique for 10 years, she started her own shop in 1992. “Many places around the world have a tradition of flying kites,” Yang said. “But I think the cultural idea behind our kites is special.” So, to spread the traditional culture with kites, she tries to make special kites with prints telling Chinese stories. For example, she once made a kite with pictures of 50 famous women in Chinese history on each side. Each woman is different in look, clothes and makeup. She spent much effort and time checking historical records and discussing the details with experts (专家). Besides, she also travels abroad to tell the stories of Chinese kites and the ways they are made. Since the 1990s, she has been to many other countries, including Germany, Australia, the US and New Zealand. “It is an important job of mine to spread our traditional culture around the world and on to the children.

There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts yawn 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 do 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? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn 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 stretch (强化) the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums stretch, too. 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. Scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do. 1. Tthe underlined word “contagious” in Paragraph 2 means able to ____ . A. breathe easily B. spread quickly C. change easily D. sleep quickly 2. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5? A. Reasons for yawning. B. Advantages (优势) of yawning. C. Disadvantages (劣势) of yawning. D. Different ideas about yawning. 3. What would be the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. C One Sunday, I decided to tidy my bookshelf up. Suddenly, a white envelope (信封) fell to the floor. Whose letter? I couldn’t remember putting the envelope on my shelf. It must be put here by someone years ago! Then I opened the envelope carefully. Inside it, there was a piece of paper. I read it. It was a letter which was written by my mom. My dear children, I love you so much! This is not a letter to be posted. I have written this in the hope that one day you will find it. Yes, I wanted to let you know something that I thought was not suitable to express face to face. Life is too short and unpredictable (无法预测的). What I say is not new at all, but why I say it is important. If you are reading this, I am no longer with you. You are alone now. I’m not there to help you or give you any kind of advice. But I’m sure that the steps you take will be sound and wise. The world around you can be confusing (令人困惑的). But if you look inside yourselves, you can light your path and find out where to go. Remember the saying “You reap (收获) what you sow (播种)”. The way you act will have an influence on your life. Be careful with every step. Be positive (积极的) as much as possible. All of you are great children. I hope you can understand what I mean. Be kind to others and to yourselves. Yours, Mom I was silent for a long time, holding that letter.

An Untidy Shelf D Suddenly, there was a loud crash. Then someone screamed and a voice shouted, “Bring a towel (毛巾) quickly.” The man in the grey suit was lying across the table. He was holding his face, which was red with blood. On the table there was broken glass. Someone asked in a loud voice, “What happened? Did he fall?” Several people were speaking at the same time. “It’s his heart, you know.” “He has been in and out of hospital for years…” “…his head hit those glasses.” The man was still lying across the table. Jennifer jumped up, and both she and Claire ran over to him. “We’re nurses,” said Jennifer. “Can we help?” There was a cut on the side of the man’s face. It was deep and he was losing a lot of blood. A waiter ran up with a towel. Jennifer took it and held it to the cut. The man’s mouth was open and he was making strange noises. “He needs a doctor. We’ll have to get him to hospital,” Jennifer said. She turned to Claire and asked, “You came here in your car, didn’t you?” “Yes. Let’s take him to hospital,” Claire replied. They helped the man outside and put him in Claire’s car. Jennifer jumped in beside him and they drove off. She was still holding the towel to the man’s face. The blood was not coming so fast and he was beginning to feel a little better. “Where.…where are we going?” he asked. “Are you taking me home?” “Just stay there and don’t speak,” Jennifer told him. “You fell and hurt yourself. You’ll be all right, but you must see a doctor. We’ll be at the hospital in a few minutes.” As soon as he heard the word “hospital”, the man tried to sit up. “No, no,” he said angrily, “I don’t need to go to hospital. I’m feeling better now. Just take me home. And who are you?” “I’m a nurse,” Jennifer told him. “And you need to see a doctor. We’re nearly there now. Just sit still and stop talking.” But the man was feeling stronger and he would not be quiet. He pulled at Jennifer’s arm and said loudly, “I don’t need a doctor. It’s just a small cut on my face. I’m all right now. Take me home!” When Jennifer did not answer him, he said in a quieter voice, “Please listen to me. I’m feeling fine. There’s no need to take me to hospital. They’ll want to keep me there — they always do, because of my bad heart. I have to meet some business people the day after tomorrow. It’s very important to me. So just stop the car and I can take a taxi home.” Soon, the car stopped at the door of the hospital. A nurse came to meet them. When Claire told her about the accident, Jennifer helped the man out of the car. He said something angrily to the nurse, but after a few seconds, he went with her into the hospital. Jennifer and Claire drove away. “What a difficult man!” Claire said angrily. “No ‘Thank you for your help.’ or ‘You’re very kind.’” “Some people never say thank you,” Jennifer said. “Don’t worry about it.” —Adapted from Ear-Rings from Frankfurt 1.

Having a special connection with kites, Yang learned the technique from her grandfather at the age of 16. After practising the technique for 10 years, she started her own shop in 1992. “Many places around the world have a tradition of flying kites,” Yang said. “But I think the cultural idea behind our kites is special.” So, to spread the traditional culture with kites, she tries to make special kites with prints telling Chinese stories. For example, she once made a kite with pictures of 50 famous women in Chinese history on each side. Each woman is different in look, clothes and makeup. She spent much effort and time checking historical records and discussing the details with experts (专家). Besides, she also travels abroad to tell the stories of Chinese kites and the ways they are made. Since the 1990s, she has been to many other countries, including Germany, Australia, the US and New Zealand. “It is an important job of mine to spread our traditional culture around the world and on to the children. As long as there are people who want to learn, I won’t stop teaching,” she said. 1. When did Yang Hongwei start her own kite shop? ___________________________________________________________ 2.
