Can I borrow yours to finish my homework? —No problem. I don’t need it now. You can return it to me tomorrow morning. A. my B. mine C. me 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我把我的词典忘在教室里了。 my我的（形容词性物主代词）；mine我的（名词性物主代词）；me我（人称代词宾格）。分析句子结构，空格后有名词“dictionary”，此处需填入一个形容词性物主代词作定语来修饰该名词。根据句中主语“I”以及后文“finish my homework”提示的逻辑关系，此处表示“我的词典”，应选用my。 3. — Do you know why zebrafish (斑马鱼) are taken to Shenzhou-18? — They have ________ like small size and short development cycle. A. stages B. advantages C. messages 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你知道为什么斑马鱼被带上神舟十八号吗？——它们有体型小、发育周期短等优势。 考查名词辨析。stages阶段；advantages优势；messages信息。根据语境，空格后列举的“small size”“short development cycle”均为斑马鱼的特点优势。故选B。 4. ----Hi, Jack.

I m leaving for Beijing on that day A. believable B. enjoyable C. available 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你好，杰克，下周五你想要来参加我的生日聚会吗？ ——我很愿意，但是我没空，那天我要去北京。这题主要辨析形容词词义，所给选项A. believable“可信的”；B. enjoyable“愉快的”；C. available“有空的”，根据句子I’m leaving for Beijing on that day表明那天有其他安排，故答案是C。 5. —Mum, why do we have to wait at the crossing for such a long time? —For our safety, we ________ be too careful.

For sure 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：现在很多学生都有情绪问题。例如，他们经常在考试前感到紧张。 For short简称；for example例如；For sure确实。考查短语辨析。前一句陈述普遍现象，后一句给出具体情形，两者为举例关系。For example 表示“例如”，符合语境逻辑。 8. — Must we clean our classroom right now? — No, you needn’t. ________ this morning ________ this afternoon is OK. A. Both; and B. Either; or C. Not only; but also 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们必须现在打扫教室吗？——不，不必。或者今天早上或者今天下午都可以。 Both…and…表示“两者都”，谓语动词要用复数；Either…or…表示“要么……要么……”，二选一；Not only…but also…表示“不但……而且……”，表并列递进。 根据答句“No, you needn’t”，说明不需要立刻打扫，上午、下午任选一个时间即可，符合二选一逻辑。同时Either...or...遵循就近原则，和后文单数be动词is匹配。 故选B。 9. —Tom, may I use my dictionary? You ________ it for several days. —Of course. I forgot to give it back. A. have bought B. have kept C. have borrowed 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——汤姆，我可以用我的字典吗？你已经持有它好几天了。——当然。我忘记还了。 buy和 borrow是瞬间动词，不能与表示一段时间的状语连用；keep是延续性动词，可与时间段连用。根据for several days可知，动作持续了一段时间，需用延续性动词。应填have kept。 10. Some people are ________ power, wealth or fame, but all I want is only health and happiness. A. responsible for B. thirsty for C. thankful to 【答案】B 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】句意：有些人渴望权力、财富或名声，但我想要的只有健康和幸福。 考查形容词短语辨析。responsible for对……负责；thirsty for渴望；thankful for感谢（某人）。根据“all I want”可知，前后句在描述想要得到的东西，结合选项，选项B符合句意。故选B。 11. —Will you be nervous when you sing songs ________? —No, I won’t.

A. will be offered B. is offered C. will offer 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：—如果这份工作被提供给你，你会有什么问题吗？—嗯，我在考虑工作日。 考查条件状语从句的时态和被动语态。在if引导的条件状语从句中，常用一般现在时表将来，不能用will。主语the job与offer之间是被动关系，应用被动语态。应填is offered。 13. The old furniture needs to be moved away because it ________ too much space. A. takes up B. takes off C. takes away 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：这些旧家具需要搬走，因为它们太占地方了。 考查动词短语。takes up占据；takes off起飞；takes away拿走。根据“too much space.”可知这些旧家具太占地方了。故选A。 14. —Most people think this football team will win the game. —Maybe they are right, but I still _________ my opinion.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述江西会昌手艺人张一清在特殊学校教授剪纸，传承非遗技艺，帮助残障学生习得技能的故事。 【16题详解】 句意：他们留下来不是为了玩，而是为了参加由当地手艺人张一清教授的剪纸课。 此处修饰“paper-cutting class”表示课程的授课者，应选用taught，意为“被教授的”，构成过去分词短语作后置定语，caught（抓住）、learned（学习）与“授课”语境无关。 【17题详解】 句意：这位54岁的手艺人每周来学校一次，教学生剪纸。 下文“once a week to teach the students”说明她定期来学校授课，应选用visits，意为“到访、访问”，arrives（到达）侧重终点，不体现“定期来”的含义，explores（探索）与语境无关。 【18题详解】 句意：剪纸作品以诗歌、书法为特色，而不是鸟类、动物、风景和人物。 “poems and calligraphy”和“birds, animals...”说明此处描述主题元素是诗歌和书法，应选用instead of，表示“代替，而不是”，because of（因为）表原因，ahead of（在……之前）表时间，均不符合。 【19题详解】 句意：课堂上几乎没有噪音。 下文“Zhang and the teacher were the only people talking”说明课堂里只有手艺人和老师讲话，应选用 noise，意为“噪音”，符合“课堂安静，几乎没有噪音”的语境，fire（火）、light（光）与课堂安静的语境无关。 【20题详解】 句意：学生们学得很快，并且非常喜欢这节特殊的课。 “The students learned fast”说明学生对课程的态度是积极的，应选用enjoyed，意为“喜欢、享受”，与“学得快”构成并列的积极态度，followed（跟随）、encouraged（鼓励）侧重动作或他人态度，不体现学生自身的感受。 【21题详解】 句意：起初，她大多只做传统的图案，但后来她学会了制作带有书法和诗歌的剪纸。 下文“but later she learned to make paper-cuts featuring calligraphy and poems”说明前后是“传统到创新”的对比，应选用traditional，意为“传统的”，与后文的创新图案形成对比，popular（流行的）、famous（著名的）不构成“传统与创新”的对比逻辑。 【22题详解】 句意：她的作品现在是一种正在被更多人熟知的文化创意产品。 此处指代她的剪纸作品，应选用product，意为“产品”，符合“文化创意产品”的固定搭配，task（任务）、notice（通知）与“作品”无关。 【23题详解】 句意：为了传承这门艺术，张老师在特殊学校和当地小学教剪纸。 固定搭配pass...down，意为“把……传承下去”。 【24题详解】 句意：我为他们设计图案，教他们自己动手做，这样他们将来就能有一门手艺谋生。 前句是“教他们做剪纸”，后句是“未来能谋生”，前后句为因果关系，应选用so，意为“这样、因此”，if（如果）表条件；unless（除非）表让步，均不符合因果逻辑。 【25题详解】 句意：年轻人学习剪纸有优势，所以他们能更容易地学会这门手艺。 上文“Younger people have an advantage”说明年轻人学习有优势，应选用easily，意为“容易地”，修饰动词learn，符合“有优势所以学得容易”的逻辑，widely（广泛地）、slowly（缓慢地）与 “有优势” 的语境相悖。 IV．阅读理解（共两节，满分45分） 第一节 阅读以下A、B、C、D四篇短文，根据短文内容，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案（每小题2分，满分40分） A Box Office: Disney’s animated film Zootopia 2 has taken the Chinese box office (票房) by storm.

The young one drove a big 18-wheeler for about five hours and became very tired. He asked the old driver to take over for a while. The old driver drove for 10 hours and was not even tired, as he had done this for years. The young man was very curious and asked the old man how he could drive for hours and not get tired. The old man asked him, “What do you do in the morning just before you leave your house?” The young man replied, “I kiss my wife goodbye and tell her I am going to work.” The old one said, “That is your problem.” The young man asked, “What do you mean?” The old man said, “When I leave in the morning, I kiss my wife goodbye, but I don’t tell her I am going to work. I tell her I am going for a trip in the country.” Life can be easy or it can be difficult. Sometimes that’s just a matter of how you look at it.

The smell of fresh pizza? Or the sight of your favorite desserts? Food that looks and smells good will probably taste good, but what about the sound? Some scientists now believe that the taste of food can change when you hear different sounds, but it has to be the right sound. When you turn on a microwave (微波炉) with popcorn (爆米花) in it, it soon starts to pop. Do you think “that sounds tasty?” Not really, you probably think it’s nearly ready. But when you smell it, you know it is delicious. Hearing the popcorn makes you think about it, but smelling it tells you that it tastes good. So what are the sounds to change the tastes of the things? In an experiment in a fish restaurant, customers listened to the sound of the seaside while eating. Did it make any difference? Yes. Listening to the seaside seemed to improve the taste of the food - It was fresher and saltier. When the restaurant tried the same experiment with the sound of farm animals, there was no difference in taste. The results are useful for restaurants. Scientists are also setting a connection between food and the sound that the packet makes. Pick up a packet of potato chips, what does it sound like? Experiments show that if the packet makes a right sound, customers will think the potato chips are fresher. So one manufacturer (生产商) has started to change the material that they used to make their potato chip packets. 36. What may attract people to enter a restaurant according to Paragraph 1? A. The happily dining customers. B. The sounds of cooking. C. The menu on the table. D. The sight of food. 37. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. Right sounds can change the taste of food. B. The popping sound of popcorn means tasty popcorn. C. The popping sound changes the taste of the popcorn. D. You need to smell the popcorn to make sure it's ready. 38. If you run a seafood restaurant, you may play ________ to improve the taste of the food. A. a list of pop music B. the sound of waves C. a list of light music D. the sound of farm animals 39. Packet materials are important because customer ________. A. want the packet to look right B. enjoy looking at the different materials C. think good packet materials won't do harm to their health D. think there's a connection between good food and the sound its package makes 40. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Love Music, Love Food B. Right Sound, Better Taste C. Dinner Music Suggestions D. Magical Sounds of Packets 【答案】36. D 37. A 38. B 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【分析】短文主要讲述了恰当的声音会让食物的味道更好。 【36题详解】 细节理解题，根据“The smell of fresh pizza? Or the sight of your favorite desserts? Food that looks and smells good will probably taste good”，可知吸引人们进入餐厅的是食物，故选D。 【37题详解】 细节理解题，根据“the taste of food can change when you hear different sounds, but it has to be the right sound. ”，当你听到不同的声音时，食物的味道会改变，但必须是正确的声音。可知恰当的声音会改变食物的味道，故选A。 【38题详解】 细节理解题，根据“In an experiment in a fish restaurant, customers listened to the sound of the seaside while eating. Did it make any difference? Yes. Listening to the seaside seemed to improve the taste of the food”，可知海鲜店听到海边的声音会改进食物的味道，故选B。 【39题详解】 细节理解题，根据“the packet makes a right sound, customers will think the potato chips are fresher.”，可知包装发出正确的声音，顾客会认为薯片更新鲜美味。故选D。 【40题详解】 最佳标题，通读全文可知，短文主要讲述了恰当的声音会让食物的味道更好，故选B。 D Cultures across the world have different ways for people to greet one another. In Spain, many people kiss both cheeks. In New Zealand, they bump noses! The goal of these actions is to make others feel welcome. However, some people would rather say hello orally. They don’t like being touched. Neither does the sensitive plant. Some people keep the sensitive plant as a houseplant because of its interesting behavior. When you touch the leaves of the sensitive plant, it releases(释放) water from its leaves and stalks. As water drains(流出) to the plant’s base, the leaves close and the stalks droop. This causes the plant to look wilted! The sensitive plant draws back from physical contact because it doesn’t want you to touch it, of course! Just like people, this plant sends physical signals that you should leave it alone. This reaction to touch is a defense mechanism. Many animals and insects eat plants, so the sensitive plant learned to move to scare away predators(捕食者). Frightened by the sudden wilting, hungry animals move away to find a different plant to eat. Additionally, wilted plants don’t look mouth-watering. This encourages other nearby predators to look for their dinner elsewhere. If you touch the sensitive plant and it wilts, have no fear! It’s still a healthy plant. After a few minutes, it will send water back to its leaves and stand straight up again. However, it takes lot of time for the sensitive plant to rejuvenate itself. Don’t touch the plant just to watch it wilt. It may seem like fun, but it’s not fun for rejuvenate. It’s always important to pay attention to the body language of plants, animals, and other people! We should never want to make other living things uncomfortable, and especially not for our own entertainment. 41. What’s the main purpose of writing Paragraph 1? A. To introduce the cultures across the world. B. To list the actions that can make others feel welcome. C. To compare different ways for people to greet one another. D. To lead readers to make a connection between people and the plant. 42. We can infer that the sensitive plant may be also called _________. A. forget-me-not B. touch-me-not C. rose of sharon D. daughter of wind 43. The underlined word “wilted” means “________” in Chinese. A. 艳丽的 B. 茂盛的 C. 枯萎的 D. 有毒的 44. The sensitive plant’s interesting behavior is actually a way to ________. A. protect itself B. entertain itself C. attract animals D. kill animals 45. In the writer’s view, _________. A. watching the sensitive plant wilt is fun B. we should treat other living things kindly C. body language helps us know each other better D. it’s a good idea to keep the sensitive plant as a houseplant 【答案】41. D 42. B 43. C 44. A 45. B 【解析】 【分析】文章介绍了世界各地不同的文化中有着不同的打招呼的方式，目的是为了让人们感到自己受到欢迎，有些人只喜欢口头打招呼，而不喜欢被触碰，而有一些敏感的植物也是一样，为了不被动物吃掉而受到触碰时变成枯萎的样子。 【41题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“However, some people would rather say hello orally. They don’t like being touched. Neither does the sensitive plant.”可知，第一段主要是从人们之间打招呼的方式，引出今天的主题-植物。故选D。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The sensitive plant draws back from physical contact because it doesn’t want you to touch it, of course!”可知，敏感的植物从身体接触中退缩，当然是因为它不想让你碰它，所以这种植物叫含羞草，也就是不要碰我（touch-me-not），故选B。 【43题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“As water drains(流出) to the plant’s base, the leaves close and the stalks droop. This causes the plant to look wilted!”可知，当水分排入植物根部时，叶子就会闭合，茎也会下垂。这会使植物看起来枯萎，所以单词“wilted”指的是“枯萎的”，故选C。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据“This reaction to touch is a defense mechanism…This encourages other nearby predators to look for their dinner elsewhere.”可知，这是敏感植物的自我防御机制，为了不让动物们吃掉自己，故选A。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“It’s always important to pay attention to the body language of plants, animals, and other people! We should never want to make other living things uncomfortable, and especially not for our own entertainment.”可知，我们永远不应该让其他生物感到不舒服，尤其是不应该为了我们自己的娱乐，应该善待其他生物，故选B。 E It’s normal for students to make mistakes and it’s really easy to beat yourself up over careless mistakes. ___46___ Here are some ways for you to stop making careless mistakes. Find out why you made the mistake. ___47___ For example, suppose you made several careless mistakes on your math homework. Looking back, you might realize that you were rushing to finish your homework because there was a show you wanted to watch on TV. Slow down. Give yourself enough time and you don’t have to rush. Sometimes it’s hard to know how much time you need to complete a task—especially if it’s something you’ve never done before. ___48___ It’s okay if it takes you longer than it takes someone else, or if it ends up taking longer than you thought. Stay in the moment. Focus on what you are doing at present. ___49___ But if you keep your mind focused on the task at hand, you’ll often find that a lot of those careless mistakes become a thing of the past. ___50___ Go over what you’ve done so you can correct any mistakes you might have made. For example, if you’re writing a report, leave time to go through it carefully and check for any grammar mistakes. Nobody is perfect and mistakes are a normal part of life. If you deal with mistakes properly and learn from mistakes, they can help you grow and become better at what you do. A. Leave time to double-check. B. So be patient with yourself. C. It’s easy to miss something if you’re not paying close attention. D. Think back to the moment of the mistake to find out the reason. E. However, many mistakes can be avoided if you pay closer attention. 【答案】46. E 47. D 48. B 49. C 50. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了如何避免粗心错误的几种方法，包括找出错误原因、放慢速度、专注于当下以及留出时间复查。 【46题详解】 前文指出学生犯错误很正常，而且很容易因为粗心错误而自责，后文引出避免粗心错误的方法，E选项“However, many mistakes can be avoided if you pay closer attention.”用转折承接前文，指出许多错误可以通过更仔细地注意来避免，与后文具体方法形成逻辑关系。 【47题详解】 后文举例说明做数学作业时因急着看电视而犯粗心错误，D选项“Think back to the moment of the mistake to find out the reason.”作为本段主旨句，概括了回顾错误时刻找出原因的方法，与后文具体例子形成总分关系。 【48题详解】 前文指出很难知道完成任务需要多少时间，尤其是从未做过的事情，后文说明比别人花的时间长或比预想的长也没关系，B选项“So be patient with yourself.”总结了对自己保持耐心的态度，与前后文形成逻辑关系。 【49题详解】 前文指出专注于当前正在做的事情，后文说明如果保持专注，许多粗心错误就会成为过去，C选项“It’s easy to miss something if you’re not paying close attention.”解释了不专注容易错过细节的原因，与后文关于专注效果的内容形成逻辑关系。 【50题详解】 后文建议复习所做内容以纠正可能犯的错误，并举例写报告时留出时间仔细检查语法错误，A选项“Leave time to double-check.”概括了留出时间复查的方法，与后文具体解释形成总分关系，适合作为本段的小标题。 第二部分（非选择题） V．情景交际 根据情景提示，完成下列各题。（每小题2分，满分10分） 51. A: Nice to meet you. B: _______. 【答案】Nice to meet you, too 【解析】 【详解】根据“Nice to meet you”可知，此处应表达为“见到你也很高兴”，用Nice to meet you, too。故填Nice to meet you, too。 52. A: Thank you for helping me. B: _____________________________________________. 【答案】You’re welcome./That’s OK./My pleasure./Not at all. 【解析】 【详解】句意：A说“谢谢你帮助我”，B需要针对A的感谢进行回应。在英语中，当别人表达感谢时，常用“You’re welcome.”（不客气）、“That’s OK.”（没关系，不用谢）、“My pleasure.”（我的荣幸，别客气）、“Not at all.”（一点也不，不用谢）等来表达不用客气、不用放在心上的意思，这些回答都符合该情景下的交流习惯。故填You’re welcome./That’s OK./My pleasure./Not at all. 53. A: _________________________? B: It is April 21st. 【答案】What’s the date today 【解析】 【详解】根据答句“It is April 21st”，问句是询问今天的日期。英语中询问日期常用句型“What’s the date today?”，符合语境。 54. A: Which season do you like best? B: __________. 【答案】I like summer best 【解析】 【详解】根据“Which season do you like best?”可知，此处是回答自己最喜欢的季节，可表达为“我最喜欢夏天”，I“我”；like ... best“最喜欢”；summer“夏天”。故填I like summer best。 55. A: I got the first place in the competition. B: ____________________________! 【答案】Congratulations/Well done 【解析】 【详解】A句表示“我在比赛中拿了第一名”，当别人向你分享获奖/取得好成绩这类好消息时，最得体的回应是表达祝贺和赞美，所以应填“Congratulations/Well done”。 VI．看图写话 （每小题2分，满分10分） 根据所提供的图画情景和提示词，写出一个与图画情景相符的句子。 56. practice, now _______________________________________ 57. Tony, usually _______________________________________ 58. last weekend _______________________________________ 59. necessary, before _______________________________________ 60. if, tomorrow _______________________________________ 【答案】56. He is practicing playing the piano now. 57. Tony usually has bread and milk for breakfast. 58. The boy flew a kite last weekend. 59. It’s necessary to wash hands before meals. 60. We will have a picnic if it is sunny tomorrow. 【解析】 【56题详解】 根据图片内容和提示词“practice, now”可知，本句应表达为“他现在正在练习弹钢琴”。本句是现在进行时，主语“He”后接谓语“is practicing”，构成现在进行时结构（be动词is + 现在分词practicing）；宾语“playing the piano”是动名词短语，其中“playing”是动名词作“practicing”的宾语，“the piano”是“playing”的宾语；“now”是时间状语，位于句末修饰整个句子。 【57题详解】 根据图片内容和提示词“Tony, usually”可知，本句应表达为“托尼早餐通常吃面包和牛奶”。本句是一般现在时，主语“Tony”是第三人称单数，谓语动词“has”需使用第三人称单数形式；宾语“bread and milk”是并列名词短语；“for breakfast”是介词短语作目的状语，说明早餐；“usually”是频率副词作状语，位于谓语动词之前。 【58题详解】 根据图片内容和提示词“last weekend”可知，本句应表达为“这个男孩上周末放了一只风筝”。本句是一般过去时，主语“The boy”后接谓语动词“flew”（fly的过去式）；宾语“a kite”是名词短语；“last weekend”是时间状语，位于句末修饰整个句子。 【59题详解】 根据图片内容和提示词“necessary, before”可知，本句应表达为“饭前洗手是必要的”。本句是“It is + adj. + to do sth.”句型。“It”是形式主语，无实际词义；谓语是系表结构“is necessary”；真正的主语是动词不定式短语“to wash hands before meals”，其中“to wash”是动词不定式，“hands”是宾语，“before meals”是介词短语作时间状语修饰不定式。 【60题详解】 根据图片内容和提示词“if, tomorrow”可知，本句应表达为“如果明天天晴，我们将去野餐”。本句是含有条件状语从句的主从复合句。主句“We will have a picnic”是一般将来时，主语“We”后接助动词“will”和动词原形“have”，宾语“a picnic”；从句“if it is sunny tomorrow”由从属连词“if”引导，表示条件，从句主语“it”后接系动词“is”和表语“sunny”，“tomorrow”是时间状语修饰从句。 VII．短文填空（每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，根据语境或所给单词的提示，在每个空格内填入一个恰当的单词，使短文意思完整、行文连贯。 During the Warring States Period, many states made changes to become stronger.

A. poster B. report C. story D. movie review B There was an old truck driver who knew every corner of the country very well. One day, he had to train a new truck driver. The new driver was very young. The old driver asked the younger one to drive for a while. The young one drove a big 18-wheeler for about five hours and became very tired. He asked the old driver to take over for a while. The old driver drove for 10 hours and was not even tired, as he had done this for years. The young man was very curious and asked the old man how he could drive for hours and not get tired. The old man asked him, “What do you do in the morning just before you leave your house?” The young man replied, “I kiss my wife goodbye and tell her I am going to work.” The old one said, “That is your problem.” The young man asked, “What do you mean?” The old man said, “When I leave in the morning, I kiss my wife goodbye, but I don’t tell her I am going to work. I tell her I am going for a trip in the country.” Life can be easy or it can be difficult. Sometimes that’s just a matter of how you look at it. Look at things in a different or an optimistic (乐观的) way and it can change for the better. 31. Why did the old driver ask the younger one to drive for a while? A. To teach him how to turn around a corner. B. To train the younger one to drive a truck. C. To get some rest since he was very tired. D. To make the younger one take over his job. 32.

You can’t have your cake and eat it, too. D. Work hard and things will change for the better. C What’s the first thing that you notice when passing your favorite restaurant? The smell of fresh pizza? Or the sight of your favorite desserts? Food that looks and smells good will probably taste good, but what about the sound? Some scientists now believe that the taste of food can change when you hear different sounds, but it has to be the right sound. When you turn on a microwave (微波炉) with popcorn (爆米花) in it, it soon starts to pop. Do you think “that sounds tasty?” Not really, you probably think it’s nearly ready. But when you smell it, you know it is delicious. Hearing the popcorn makes you think about it, but smelling it tells you that it tastes good. So what are the sounds to change the tastes of the things? In an experiment in a fish restaurant, customers listened to the sound of the seaside while eating. Did it make any difference? Yes. Listening to the seaside seemed to improve the taste of the food - It was fresher and saltier. When the restaurant tried the same experiment with the sound of farm animals, there was no difference in taste. The results are useful for restaurants. Scientists are also setting a connection between food and the sound that the packet makes. Pick up a packet of potato chips, what does it sound like? Experiments show that if the packet makes a right sound, customers will think the potato chips are fresher. So one manufacturer (生产商) has started to change the material that they used to make their potato chip packets. 36. What may attract people to enter a restaurant according to Paragraph 1? A. The happily dining customers. B. The sounds of cooking. C. The menu on the table. D. The sight of food. 37. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. Right sounds can change the taste of food. B. The popping sound of popcorn means tasty popcorn. C. The popping sound changes the taste of the popcorn. D. You need to smell the popcorn to make sure it's ready. 38. If you run a seafood restaurant, you may play ________ to improve the taste of the food. A. a list of pop music B. the sound of waves C. a list of light music D. the sound of farm animals 39. Packet materials are important because customer ________. A. want the packet to look right B. enjoy looking at the different materials C. think good packet materials won't do harm to their health D. think there's a connection between good food and the sound its package makes 40. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Love Music, Love Food B. Right Sound, Better Taste C. Dinner Music Suggestions D. Magical Sounds of Packets D Cultures across the world have different ways for people to greet one another. In Spain, many people kiss both cheeks. In New Zealand, they bump noses! The goal of these actions is to make others feel welcome. However, some people would rather say hello orally. They don’t like being touched. Neither does the sensitive plant. Some people keep the sensitive plant as a houseplant because of its interesting behavior. When you touch the leaves of the sensitive plant, it releases(释放) water from its leaves and stalks. As water drains(流出) to the plant’s base, the leaves close and the stalks droop. This causes the plant to look wilted! The sensitive plant draws back from physical contact because it doesn’t want you to touch it, of course! Just like people, this plant sends physical signals that you should leave it alone. This reaction to touch is a defense mechanism. Many animals and insects eat plants, so the sensitive plant learned to move to scare away predators(捕食者). Frightened by the sudden wilting, hungry animals move away to find a different plant to eat. Additionally, wilted plants don’t look mouth-watering. This encourages other nearby predators to look for their dinner elsewhere. If you touch the sensitive plant and it wilts, have no fear! It’s still a healthy plant. After a few minutes, it will send water back to its leaves and stand straight up again. However, it takes lot of time for the sensitive plant to rejuvenate itself. Don’t touch the plant just to watch it wilt. It may seem like fun, but it’s not fun for rejuvenate. It’s always important to pay attention to the body language of plants, animals, and other people! We should never want to make other living things uncomfortable, and especially not for our own entertainment. 41. What’s the main purpose of writing Paragraph 1? A.
