It all started when Luo Yonghao, a famous Internet influencer, posted on social media. He said that after eating at Xibei, a popular restaurant chain, he found most of its dishes were pre-prepared but sold at high prices. His post quickly became popular, getting millions of comments. What exactly are pre-prepared dishes? A 2024 notice from the government gives the answer. They are pre-packaged foods made from vegetables, meat or other ingredients (食材) and without adding preservatives (防腐剂). They go through factory processing (加工), like mixing, marinating, frying or steaming, and need heating before eating. But not all prepared foods are pre-prepared. For example, dishes from central kitchens which are used by many big restaurants or simply cut vegetables are not in this category (类别). That’s why Xibei said its dishes weren’t pre-prepared. Pre-prepared dishes have both advantages and disadvantages. Many large chain restaurants use them for two main reasons. First, some stores can’t use open flames (明火) or handle raw meat easily, so pre-prepared ingredients are safer. Second, pre-prepared products save time, cut costs and make service faster. However, problems exist (存在) too. Small restaurants may not store pre-prepared dishes properly, leading to safety risks. Sometimes, delivery workers heat pre-prepared packages in dirty places, making people think pre-prepared means low quality. Worse, some restaurants call reheated pre-prepared dishes “freshly made” and charge full price. Now, more and more people call on the government to make laws. They hope there will be clearer standards for pre-prepared dishes, so that everyone can make informed (有见识的) choices. 1. What made pre-prepared dishes draw wide attention in China? A. Their low cost. B. Xibei’s advertisement. C. Their good taste. D. Luo Yonghao’s words. 2. According to the passage, which of the followings are pre-prepared dishes? ①Pre-packaged fried meat. ②Roast duck from central kitchens. ③Factory-processed steamed mutton. ④Simply cut vegetables. A. ①④ B. ①③ C. ②④ D. ②③ 3. What do people ask the government to do? A. Stop pre-prepared dishes completely. B. Help small restaurants store them. C. Make safety standards for them. D. Punish Xibei for its dishes. 4. What is the text mainly about? A. The advantages of pre-prepared dishes. B. The discussion on pre-prepared dishes. C. Luo Yonghao’s personal life. D. Problems of pre-prepared dishes. 5. Where may the passage come from? A. Poster. B. Storybooks. C. Newspaper. D. Comic books. 【答案】DBCBC 【解析】本文主要讲述了预制菜的优点和缺点，以及政府对于预制菜的管控。 1. 题干意思：是什么让预制菜在中国受到广泛关注？A. 它们的成本低；B. 西贝莜面村的广告；C. 它们的口感好；D. 罗永浩的话。根据第1段“Recently, pre-prepared dishes (预制菜) have become a hot topic in China. It all started when Luo Yonghao, a famous Internet influencer, posted on social media.（近期，预制菜在中国已成为热门话题。这一切都始于著名网络红人罗永浩在社交媒体上发帖。）”可知，一位网红的话让预制菜引起了广泛关注。答案为D。 2. 题干意思：根据文章内容，以下哪些是预制菜？①预包装的炸肉；②来自中央厨房的烤鸭；③工厂加工的蒸羊肉；④简单切好的蔬菜。可根据第2段“For example, dishes from central kitchens which are used by many big restaurants or simply cut vegetables are not in this category (类别). That’s why Xibei said its dishes weren’t pre-prepared.（例如，许多大型餐厅使用的中央厨房制作的菜肴或者只是切好的蔬菜都不属于这一类别。这就是为什么西贝莜面村说它的菜肴不是预先做好的。）”可知，②④不是预制菜，答案为B。 3. 题干意思：人们要求政府做什么？A. 完全停止预制菜；B. 帮助小餐馆储存这些食材；C. 为他们制定安全标准；D. 惩罚西贝莜面村，因为它的菜品。根据最后一段“Now, more and more people call on the government to make laws.

We might be scared of them because they are big and powerful. As we get older, however, we learn that sometimes the most dangerous animals are also the smallest animals. In fact, the animal that kills the most people is one that you are familiar with: the mosquito (蚊子). While it may seem that all mosquitoes are biters, this is not actually the case. Male mosquitoes eat plant nectar (花蜜). On the other hand, female mosquitoes feed on animal blood. When a female mosquito (雌蚊) bites a human being, it transmits saliva (传播唾液) into the blood. This saliva may or may not contain a deadly disease. The result of the bite can be minor or as serious as death. Because a mosquito can bite many people in its life, it can carry deadly diseases from one person to another very easily. More than 700 million people become sick from these diseases every year. At least 2 million of these people will die from these diseases. In some households, mosquito nets are placed over beds to protect people against being bitten. Mosquitoes have many natural enemies (敌人) like bats, birds, dragonflies, and certain kinds of fish. Bringing more of these animals into places where mosquitoes live might help to cut down the number of mosquitoes in that area. This is a natural solution, but it does not always work very well. Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or sprays. But these sprays may also harm other plants or animals. Although mosquitoes may not seem as scary as larger, more powerful animals, they are far more dangerous to human beings. But things are changing. It is highly likely that one day scientists will find a way to keep everyone safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry. 1. Why does the passage mention dangerous animals like tigers and sharks? A. To compare different animals. B. To lead into the topic about mosquitoes. C. To show how dangerous tigers and sharks are. D. To show people’s misunderstanding of dangerous animals. 2. What can we learn about mosquitoes? A. Female mosquitoes might transmit diseases to humans. B. The saliva of female mosquitoes contains deadly diseases. C. Male mosquitoes and female mosquitoes have the same eating habits. D. More than 700 million people die from the diseases carried by the mosquitoes. 3. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Scientists are making efforts to kill mosquitoes. B. Some useful ways are taken to kill mosquitoes. C. There is no perfect method to the mosquito problem. D. Mosquitoes’ natural enemies could protect human beings. 4. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of solving the mosquito problem? A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Positive. D. Negative. 【答案】BACC 【解析】 1. 题干意思：这篇文章为何提及老虎和鲨鱼这类危险动物？A. 为了比较不同的动物；B. 为了引出关于蚊子的话题；C. 为了展示老虎和鲨鱼有多危险；D. 为了展示人们对危险动物的误解。根据第1段的“When we are young, we learn that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. We might be scared of them because they are big and powerful. As we get older, however, we learn that sometimes the most dangerous animals are also the smallest animals. In fact, the animal that kills the most people is one that you are familiar with: the mosquito (蚊子). （当我们小的时候，我们知道老虎和鲨鱼是危险的动物。我们可能会害怕它们，因为它们又大又强大。然而，随着年龄的增长，我们了解到有时最危险的动物也是最小的动物。事实上，杀死人最多的动物是你所熟悉的一种：蚊子。）”可推知，文章提到老虎和鲨鱼是为了引出下文要讲的蚊子。故选B。 2. 题干意思：关于蚊子，我们可以了解到什么？A. 雌蚊可能会将疾病传染给人类；B. 雌蚊的唾液含有致命疾病；C. 雄蚊和雌蚊有着相同的饮食习惯；D. 超过 7 亿人死于蚊子携带的疾病。根据第2段中“When a female mosquito (雌蚊) bites a human being, it transmits (传播) saliva into the blood. This saliva may or may not contain a deadly disease. The result of the bite can be minor or as serious as death.（当雌蚊叮咬人时，它会将唾液注入血液中。这种唾液可能含有致命疾病，也可能没有。叮咬的结果可能微不足道，也可能严重到致命。）”可推知，雌蚊可能会将疾病传播给人类。故选A。 3. 题干意思：第4段的主要内容是什么？A. 科学家正在努力消灭蚊子；B. 采取了一些有效的方法来杀死蚊子；C. 没有完美的方法来解决蚊子的问题；D. 蚊子的天敌可以保护人类。由第4段“在一些家庭中，蚊帐被放置在床上以保护人们免受叮咬。蚊子有很多天敌，比如蝙蝠、鸟类、蜻蜓和某些种类的鱼。把更多的这些动物带到蚊子生活的地方可能有助于减少该地区蚊子的数量。这是一个自然的解决方案，但它并不总是很有效。蚊子也可以用毒药或喷雾剂杀死。但这些喷雾剂也可能伤害其他植物或动物。”可知，虽然有多种方法，但解决蚊子问题的确切方法仍然不确定。故选C。 4. 题干意思：作者对未来解决蚊子问题的态度是什么？A. 存疑；B. 不确定的；C. 积极的；D. 消极的。根据最后一段的“It is highly likely that one day scientists will find a way to keep everyone safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry.（很有可能有一天，科学家会找到一种方法，让每个人都远离蚊子和它们携带的疾病。） ”可推知，作者对解决蚊子问题的未来持积极的态度。故选C。 D Deadly flooding has swept China’s central Henan Province. More than hundreds of thousands of people have been influenced. Up to August 2, a total of 302 people have been killed and 50 missing. Like many other natural disasters, floods can happen with little or no warning. Flash floods move quickly and have strong currents (水流). They are known to bring down trees and destroy buildings. Besides, floods can cause power cuts, traffic jams and other problems. But the flood itself isn’t the only problem to deal with. After a flood, its influence can be just as deadly, as it may not be feasible to send basic supplies, such as water and food to the area. So, in the face of a flash flood, how should we save ourselves? ★Avoid bridges that rapidly-moving water is crossing, as floodwaters can cause bridges to break. ★Listen to emergency broadcasts (应急广播) for further instructions. If told to move to another place, do so. ★Stay inside the car if it’s caught in fast-moving water. Only get out if the water begins to flood the car itself, and then move to the roof of the car. ★If caught within a flooded building, move to the higher floor. Only move to the roof if necessary. Once there, signal for help, such as drawing SOS on the roof. ★Stay away from power lines (电线), as they are often destroyed or knocked down during strong storms. Besides, here are also some tips to keep in mind after a flood. Do not drink floodwater, or use it to wash food. Return to your home only after local governments have said it is safe to do so. Use only bottled or boiled water for drinking, cooking and bathing. Avoid driving through flooded areas. 1. Before a flood is coming, what can people notice? A. Few signs. B. Power cuts. C. Traffic jams. D. Strong currents. 2. What does the underlined word “feasible” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Important. B. Dangerous. C. Possible. D. Expensive. 3. Which of the following is correct when we are in a flood? ①Don’t stay on a bridge to be broken. ②Pay attention to the broadcasts. ③Don’t get close to power lines. ④Move to the roof at once whatever happens. ⑤Stay in the car unless the water begins to flood the car itself. A. ②③ B. ③④⑤ C. ①②④⑤ D. ①②③⑤ 4. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. What life is like after a flood. B. What to do or not to do after a flood. C. When we can go back home after a flood. D. How to choose drinkable water after a flood. 5. The purpose of the passage is ____ . A. to report the latest news in Henan B. to tell readers how a flood happens C. to remind readers to stay away from flooded areas D. to give readers some advice on keeping safe in floods 【答案】ACDBD 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国河南省发生的致命洪水灾害，阐述了洪水的特点（如突发性强、水流湍急等）、危害（如导致人员伤亡、破坏设施等），并重点给出了面对洪水时的自救措施以及洪水过后的注意事项，旨在为读者提供洪水中的安全防护建议。 1. 题干意思：在洪水来临之前，人们会注意到什么？A. 几乎没有迹象；B. 停电；C. 交通堵塞；D. 强水流。根据第2段“Like many other natural disasters, floods can happen with little or no warning.（像许多其他自然灾害一样，洪水可能在很少或没有预警的情况下发生。）”可知，洪水来临前几乎看不到迹象。故答案选A。 2. 题干意思：第2段中划线单词“feasible”可能是什么意思？根据第2段“After a flood, its influence can be just as deadly, as it may not be feasible to send basic supplies, such as water and food to the area.（洪水过后，其影响可能同样致命，因为向该地区运送水和食物等基本物资可能是不可行的。）”可知，此时向灾区运送物资应是“不可能的”，“feasible”意为“可能的”，与“possible”意思一致。故答案为C。 3. 题干意思：当我们遭遇洪水时，以下哪一项是正确的？①不要站在桥梁上以防其坍塌；②留意广播通知；③不要靠近电线；④无论发生什么情况，都要立即爬上屋顶；⑤除非车被水淹没，否则就留在车内。根据第4段“★Avoid bridges that rapidly-moving water is crossing, as floodwaters can cause bridges to break. （避免快速水流经过的桥梁，因为洪水可能导致桥梁断裂。）”说明应远离可能断裂的桥，①正确；根据第5段“★Listen to emergency broadcasts (应急广播) for further instructions.（收听应急广播获取进一步指示。）”即“注意广播”，②正确；根据第8段“★Stay away from power lines (电线)（远离电线），即“不要靠近电线”，③正确；根据第7段“★If caught within a flooded building, move to the higher floor. Only move to the roof if necessary.（如果被困在被淹没的建筑物内，移到更高的楼层。只有在必要时才移到屋顶。）”说明“不是立刻移到屋顶”，④错误；根据第6段“★Stay inside the car if it’s caught in fast-moving water. Only get out if the water begins to flood the car itself（如果车被困在湍急的水中，待在车内。只有当水开始淹没汽车时才出来……）”即“除非水淹没汽车，否则待在车里”，⑤正确。综上，①②③⑤正确，对应选项D。故答案为D。 4. 题干意思：最后一段的主旨是什么？A. 洪水过后的生活是怎样的；B. 洪水过后该做什么或不该做什么；C. 洪水过后我们何时能够回家；D. 洪水过后如何选择可饮用的水。根据第9段“Besides, here are also some tips to keep in mind after a flood.（此外，这里还有一些洪水过后的注意事项。）”后文具体列举:“Do not drink floodwater, or use it to wash food. Return to your home only after local governments have said it is safe to do so. Use only bottled or boiled water for drinking, cooking and bathing. Avoid driving through flooded areas.（不要喝洪水，也不要用它来洗食物。只有在当地政府表示安全后，才能回家。只能使用瓶装水或开水饮用、烹饪和洗澡。避免在洪水泛滥的地区开车。）”可知，段落明确给出“不要喝洪水”“回家需政府许可”“用瓶装水”“避免开车过水区”等“该做”和“不该做”的内容。故答案为B。 5. 题干意思：这篇文章的目的是 ____ 。A. 报道河南的最新消息；B. 告诉读者洪水是如何发生的；C. 提醒读者远离洪水区；D. 给读者一些在洪水中保持安全的建议。根据第3段“So, in the face of a flash flood, how should we save ourselves?（那么，面对山洪，我们该如何自救？）”及倒数第二段“Besides, here are also some tips to keep in mind after a flood.（此外，这里还有一些洪水过后的注意事项。）”可知，文章先介绍洪水特点，再给出“面对洪水时的自救措施”和“洪水过后的注意事项”，核心是提供安全建议。故答案为D。 四、根据括号中所给的汉语、句意、英文释义或首字母提示写出单词，使句子意思完整正确。 1.

Avalanches are sudden natural disasters where a lot of snow and ice slide (滑动) down the mountains. __1__________ In fact, snow from an avalanche can move as fast as two hundred miles per hour. That is three times faster than a car on a highway. __2__________ In the mountains like the Alps and the Himalayas, there are snow and ice all year round. After big storms, new snow puts more pressure on the snow that is already in the mountains. The pressure can make the old snow slide. __3__________ Heavy snow moving down the mountains may pull other things along, such as trees and rocks. A powerful avalanche can damage everything in its path. Luckily, no one lives in the mountains where avalanches are easy to happen. __4__________ Most people who may lose their lives in avalanches are ski lovers. They want to have fun in the mountains. They also want to stay safe. __5__________ Even though the experts (专家) can warn people of the risk, there are still some accidents each year. If you are a ski lover, remember to pay attention to experts’ warnings. A. So not many people die from avalanches each year. B. Most avalanches happen after big storms. C. An avalanche can last for about ten hours a time. D. Avalanches are very dangerous. E. We should take action to stop avalanches from happening. F. Experts can usually tell when an avalanche might happen. G. As they slide, the snow and ice move faster and faster. 【答案】GBDAF 【解析】 1. 根据后文“In fact, snow from an avalanche can move as fast as two hundred miles per hour.（事实上，雪崩产生的雪可以以每小时200英里的速度移动。）”可知说的是速度，G选项“As they slide, the snow and ice move faster and faster.（当它们滑动时，冰雪移动得越来越快。）”符合题意，故选G。 2. 根据后文“In the mountains like the Alps and the Himalayas, there are snow and ice all year round. After big storms, new snow puts more pressure on the snow that is already in the mountains. The pressure can make the old snow slide.（在像阿尔卑斯山和喜马拉雅山这样的山脉中，终年积雪覆盖。在大风暴过后，新降的雪会给山上的积雪带来更大的压力。这种压力可能会导致旧雪滑落。）”可知说的是大风暴，B选项“Most avalanches happen after big storms.（大多数雪崩发生在大风暴之后。）”符合题意，故选B。 3. 根据后文“Heavy snow moving down the mountains may pull other things along, such as trees and rocks.（从山上倾泻而下的大雪可能会将其他物体一同带下山，比如树木和岩石。）”可知说的是很危险，D选项“Avalanches are very dangerous.（雪崩非常危险。）”符合题意，故选D。 4. 根据后文“Most people who may lose their lives in avalanches are ski lovers.（大多数可能在雪崩中丧生的人都是滑雪爱好者。）”可知说的是在雪崩中丧生的人，A选项“So not many people die from avalanches each year.（所以每年因雪崩而死亡的人数并不多。）”符合题意，故选A。 5. 根据后文“Even though the experts (专家) can warm people of the risk, there are still some accidents each year. If you are a ski lover, remember to pay attention to experts’ warnings.（尽管专家们能够让人们对风险有所认识，但每年仍会发生一些事故。如果你是滑雪爱好者，一定要留意专家的警告。）”可知说的是如何避免，F选项“Experts can usually tell when an avalanche might happen.（专家通常能够预测何时会发生雪崩。）”符合题意，故选F。 六、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 One day around noon, a goat (山羊) and a fox met a big lion in the forest.

There is even a catchy name for it: twalking. It’s dangerous to twalk. People who stare (盯着看) at their phones while walking can easily run into an object or person, trip over something or fall. Even worse, they might step into traffic without realizing it. Some people say twalks should be fined (罚款). They argue that their behavior is just as dangerous as drunk driving. Others disagree. They say handing out fines is going a step too far. Which side are you on? Here are two teenagers’ views. Anthony Lin, 15 If you’re looking at your phone while walking, you’re clearly putting yourself and others at risk. Fining talkers would make people take the danger more seriously. Just think about many people only started wearing seatbelts when it was required (要求) by law. Studies have shown that spending too much time on our phones isn’t good for our health. If people stop talking, they’ll look up, look around and enjoy the world around them. Hasan Walker, 14 Twalking is a bad habit and can be dangerous. However, I don’t think fines are the answer. The laws that have been put in place are not very effective. Leaders should instead think of creative ways to make streets safer. For example, a city in Poland added traffic lights to the sidewalk. This allows pedestrians (行人) to see the signal even if they are looking down. More importantly, people should learn to be responsible citizens on their own. They shouldn’t need to be fined to know when to put their phones away. 1. According to the article, what does “twalkers” mean in English? _________________________________________________________ 2. What are the dangers of walking according to the article? _________________________________________________________ 3. According to Anthony Lin, when did people start taking seatbelt use seriously? _________________________________________________________ 4. Why did Hasan Walker mention the creative traffic lights in Poland? _________________________________________________________ 5. Do you think walkers should be fined? Why or why not? (请自拟一句话作答) _________________________________________________________ 【答案】1. It means people who stare at their phones while walking. 2. People who stare at their phones while walking can easily run into an object or person, trip over something or fall. 3. When it was required by law. 4. Because he wants to tell us that leaders should think of creative ways to make streets safer. 5. Yes, because it can make people take the danger more seriously. 【解析】本文主要讲述了“边走边看手机”的现象，并列举了两个青少年对这一现象的看法。 1. 题干意思是：根据这篇文章，“twalkers”在英语中是什么意思？根据文章第1段“Texting while walking has become quite common.（走路时发短信已经变得很普遍了。）”和“Even worse, they might step into traffic without realizing it.（更糟糕的是，他们可能会不知不觉地踏入车流。）”可知，“twalkers”指的是“边走路边看手机的人”。根据文章“People who stare at their phones while walking can easily run into an object or person, trip over something or fall.（走路时盯着手机的人很容易撞上物体或人，被绊倒或摔倒。）”可知，“People who stare at their phones while walking”意为“边走路边看手机的人”，因此“twalkers”指的是“边走路边看手机的人”。 2. 题干意思是：根据这篇文章，走路有什么危险？根据文章第1段“People who stare at their phones while walking can easily run into an object or person, trip over something or fall.（走路时盯着手机的人很容易撞上物体或人，被绊倒或摔倒。）”可知，走路时盯着手机的人很容易撞上物体或人，被绊倒或摔倒。 3. 题干意思是：根据Anthony Lin（安东尼·林）的说法，人们什么时候开始认真对待安全带的使用？根据Anthony Lin的观点“If you’re looking at your phone while walking, you’re clearly putting yourself and others at risk. Finning talkers would make people take the danger more seriously. Just think about many people only started wearing seatbelts when it was required by law.（如果你边走边看手机，你显然是在把自己和他人置于危险之中。对谈话者处以罚款会让人们更认真地对待危险。想想看，很多人在法律要求系安全带时才开始系安全带。）”可知，当法律要求系安全带时，人们才开始认真对待安全带的使用。 4. 题干意思是：为什么Hasan Walker（哈桑·沃克）提到了波兰有创意的红绿灯？根据Hasan Walker的观点“Twalking is a bad habit and can be dangerous. However, I don’t think fines are the answer. The laws that have been put in place are not very effective. Leaders should instead think of creative ways to make streets safer. For example, a city in Poland added traffic lights to the sidewalk. This allows pedestrians to see the signal even if they are looking down.（走路是个坏习惯，而且很危险。然而，我不认为罚款是答案。已经制定的法律不是很有效。领导人反而应该想出创造性的方法来确保街道的安全。例如，波兰的一个城市在人行道上增加了红绿灯。这使得行人即使往下看也能看到信号。）”可知，Hasan Walker提到波兰有创意的红绿灯是为了告诉我们领导人应该想出创造性的方法来确保街道的安全。 5. 题干意思是：你认为行人应该被罚款吗？为什么或为什么不？根据Anthony Lin（安东尼·林）的观点“If you’re looking at your phone while walking, you’re clearly putting yourself and others at risk. Fining talkers would make people take the danger more seriously.（如果你边走边看手机，你显然是在把自己和他人置于危险之中。对谈话者处以罚款会让人们更认真地对待危险。）”可知，我认为行人应该被罚款，因为对谈话者处以罚款会让人们更认真地对待危险。 第 1 页 共 12 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025年新版译林八年级上册Unit 8 Safe and sound同步练习 Grammar-Further study 1. —What do you think of the English song Yesterday Once More? —It’s ____ best song I’ve ever heard, and the singer has ____ beautiful voice.

A. website B. textbook C. travel guide D. science report B Recently, pre-prepared dishes (预制菜) have become a hot topic in China. It all started when Luo Yonghao, a famous Internet influencer, posted on social media. He said that after eating at Xibei, a popular restaurant chain, he found most of its dishes were pre-prepared but sold at high prices. His post quickly became popular, getting millions of comments. What exactly are pre-prepared dishes? A 2024 notice from the government gives the answer. They are pre-packaged foods made from vegetables, meat or other ingredients (食材) and without adding preservatives (防腐剂). They go through factory processing (加工), like mixing, marinating, frying or steaming, and need heating before eating. But not all prepared foods are pre-prepared. For example, dishes from central kitchens which are used by many big restaurants or simply cut vegetables are not in this category (类别). That’s why Xibei said its dishes weren’t pre-prepared. Pre-prepared dishes have both advantages and disadvantages. Many large chain restaurants use them for two main reasons. First, some stores can’t use open flames (明火) or handle raw meat easily, so pre-prepared ingredients are safer. Second, pre-prepared products save time, cut costs and make service faster. However, problems exist (存在) too. Small restaurants may not store pre-prepared dishes properly, leading to safety risks. Sometimes, delivery workers heat pre-prepared packages in dirty places, making people think pre-prepared means low quality. Worse, some restaurants call reheated pre-prepared dishes “freshly made” and charge full price. Now, more and more people call on the government to make laws. They hope there will be clearer standards for pre-prepared dishes, so that everyone can make informed (有见识的) choices. 1. What made pre-prepared dishes draw wide attention in China? A. Their low cost. B. Xibei’s advertisement. C. Their good taste. D. Liu Yonghao’s words. 2. According to the passage, which of the followings are pre-prepared dishes? ①Pre-packaged fried meat. ②Roast duck from central kitchens. ③Factory-processed steamed mutton. ④Simply cut vegetables. A. ①④ B. ①③ C. ②④ D. ②③ 3. What do people ask the government to do? A. Stop pre-prepared dishes completely. B. Help small restaurants store them. C. Make safety standards for them. D. Punish Xibei for its dishes. 4. What is the text mainly about? A. The advantages of pre-prepared dishes. B. The discussion on pre-prepared dishes. C. Luo Yonghao’s personal life. D. Problems of pre-prepared dishes. 5. Where may the passage come from? A. Poster. B. Storybooks. C. Newspaper. D. Comic books. C When we are young, we learn that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. We might be scared of them because they are big and powerful. As we get older, however, we learn that sometimes the most dangerous animals are also the smallest animals. In fact, the animal that kills the most people is one that you are familiar with: the mosquito (蚊子). While it may seem that all mosquitoes are biters, this is not actually the case. Male mosquitoes eat plant nectar (花蜜). On the other hand, female mosquitoes feed on animal blood. When a female mosquito (雌蚊) bites a human being, it transmits saliva (传播唾液) into the blood. This saliva may or may not contain a deadly disease. The result of the bite can be minor or as serious as death. Because a mosquito can bite many people in its life, it can carry deadly diseases from one person to another very easily. More than 700 million people become sick from these diseases every year. At least 2 million of these people will die from these diseases. In some households, mosquito nets are placed over beds to protect people against being bitten. Mosquitoes have many natural enemies (敌人) like bats, birds, dragonflies, and certain kinds of fish. Bringing more of these animals into places where mosquitoes live might help to cut down the number of mosquitoes in that area. This is a natural solution, but it does not always work very well. Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or sprays. But these sprays may also harm other plants or animals. Although mosquitoes may not seem as scary as larger, more powerful animals, they are far more dangerous to human beings. But things are changing. It is highly likely that one day scientists will find a way to keep everyone safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry. 1. Why does the passage mention dangerous animals like tigers and sharks? A. To compare different animals. B. To lead into the topic about mosquitoes. C. To show how dangerous tigers and sharks are. D. To show people’s misunderstanding of dangerous animals. 2. What can we learn about mosquitoes? A. Female mosquitoes might transmit diseases to humans. B. The saliva of female mosquitoes contains deadly diseases. C. Male mosquitoes and female mosquitoes have the same eating habits. D. More than 700 million people die from the diseases carried by the mosquitoes. 3. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Scientists are making efforts to kill mosquitoes. B. Some useful ways are taken to kill mosquitoes. C. There is no perfect method to the mosquito problem. D. Mosquitoes’ natural enemies could protect human beings. 4. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of solving the mosquito problem? A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Positive. D. Negative. D Deadly flooding has swept China’s central Henan Province. More than hundreds of thousands of people have been influenced. Up to August 2, a total of 302 people have been killed and 50 missing. Like many other natural disasters, floods can happen with little or no warning. Flash floods move quickly and have strong currents (水流). They are known to bring down trees and destroy buildings. Besides, floods can cause power cuts, traffic jams and other problems. But the flood itself isn’t the only problem to deal with. After a flood, its influence can be just as deadly, as it may not be feasible to send basic supplies, such as water and food to the area. So, in the face of a flash flood, how should we save ourselves? ★Avoid bridges that rapidly-moving water is crossing, as floodwaters can cause bridges to break. ★Listen to emergency broadcasts (应急广播) for further instructions. If told to move to another place, do so. ★Stay inside the car if it’s caught in fast-moving water. Only get out if the water begins to flood the car itself, and then move to the roof of the car. ★If caught within a flooded building, move to the higher floor. Only move to the roof if necessary. Once there, signal for help, such as drawing SOS on the roof. ★Stay away from power lines (电线), as they are often destroyed or knocked down during strong storms. Besides, here are also some tips to keep in mind after a flood. Do not drink floodwater, or use it to wash food. Return to your home only after local governments have said it is safe to do so. Use only bottled or boiled water for drinking, cooking and bathing. Avoid driving through flooded areas. 1. Before a flood is coming, what can people notice? A. Few signs. B. Power cuts. C. Traffic jams. D. Strong currents. 2. What does the underlined word “feasible” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Important. B. Dangerous. C. Possible. D. Expensive. 3. Which of the following is correct when we are in a flood? ①Don’t stay on a bridge to be broken. ②Pay attention to the broadcasts. ③Don’t get close to power lines. ④Move to the roof at once whatever happens. ⑤Stay in the car unless the water begins to flood the car itself. A. ②③ B. ③④⑤ C. ①②④⑤ D. ①②③⑤ 4. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. What life is like after a flood. B. What to do or not to do after a flood. C. When we can go back home after a flood. D. How to choose drinkable water after a flood. 5. The purpose of the passage is ____ . A. to report the latest news in Henan B. to tell readers how a flood happens C. to remind readers to stay away from flooded areas D. to give readers some advice on keeping safe in floods 四、根据括号中所给的汉语、句意、英文释义或首字母提示写出单词，使句子意思完整正确。 1.

It’s dangerous to twalk. People who stare (盯着看) at their phones while walking can easily run into an object or person, trip over something or fall. Even worse, they might step into traffic without realizing it. Some people say twalks should be fined (罚款). They argue that their behavior is just as dangerous as drunk driving. Others disagree. They say handing out fines is going a step too far. Which side are you on? Here are two teenagers’ views. Anthony Lin, 15 If you’re looking at your phone while walking, you’re clearly putting yourself and others at risk. Fining talkers would make people take the danger more seriously. Just think about many people only started wearing seatbelts when it was required (要求) by law. Studies have shown that spending too much time on our phones isn’t good for our health. If people stop talking, they’ll look up, look around and enjoy the world around them. Hasan Walker, 14 Twalking is a bad habit and can be dangerous. However, I don’t think fines are the answer. The laws that have been put in place are not very effective. Leaders should instead think of creative ways to make streets safer. For example, a city in Poland added traffic lights to the sidewalk. This allows pedestrians (行人) to see the signal even if they are looking down. More importantly, people should learn to be responsible citizens on their own. They shouldn’t need to be fined to know when to put their phones away. 1. According to the article, what does “twalkers” mean in English? _________________________________________________________ 2.
