He was born in 1706 in Boston, America. His father made candles, and he had seventeen children. Benjamin went to school when he was eight years old, but dropped out two years later and became a factory worker. Then he worked in different shops.

And this is how he learned so much knowledge.
As a writer, he wrote three books. They are Poor Richard Almanack, The Way to Wealth and The Autobiography. In 1731, Benjamin opened the first public library named The Library Company of Philadelphia. He had a newspaper called The Pennsylvania Gazette. As an inventor, his most famous invention was the lightning rod (避雷针). He also invented the glasses for old people so they could see things both in the distance and near. He improved the street lamp and found out why people have a cold! Benjamin Franklin was really one of the greatest men in American history.

How can you remember numbers quickly? Have you ever used your fingers to count numbers or do you have any other ways to count them? Numbers are important in our daily life.
Many people think numbers and Maths are the same all over the world, but scientists found that it was not true. People in different parts of the world use their fingers to count and the ways they use are different. In the United States, people begin counting with their first fingers, and then they use the rest of their fingers to count to five. Next, they do this again with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions (位置). In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten by using only one hand.
Besides the ways of counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when we talk about numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and others have no words for numbers. For example, some people in Australia don’t have any hand movements to stand for numbers. They don’t even have any words for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.
We need to use numbers in our daily life, so numbers appear. Now we know numbers and Maths are different all over the world.
37. What did the scientists find according to the second paragraph?
A. Languages are different all over the world.
B. Cultures are different all over the world.
C. The ways of counting are different all over the world.
D. Numbers and Maths are the same all over the world.
38. How can Chinese people count to ten?
A. By using the first fingers. B. By using only one finger.
C. By using only one hand. D. By using the last fingers.
39. What CAN’T we know about numbers according to the passage?
A. Numbers appeared the earliest in China.
B. Numbers appeared because people needed them in their daily life.
C. Some languages have only a few words for numbers.
D. Numbers are connected with the culture.
40. What does the writer want to tell us?
A. How to use numbers. B. The history of numbers.
C. How to understand numbers. D. Something about numbers and counting.

Here are some pieces of information from an encyclopedia.
Dinosaur
The most famous dinosaur was the T-Rex. It lived about 65 million year ago. It came from America. It had two legs and two short arms. It had a huge head with a very big mouth and fifty-eight very sharp teeth. It ate meat. It killed other dinosaurs and ate them too.
Giraffe (长颈鹿)
Giraffes are the tallest animals of all today. They live in parts of Africa. Their necks are long so they can reach into trees to eat the leaves. Leaves give giraffes most of the water they need so that they do not often have to drink water.
Hummingbird (蜂鸟)
Hummingbirds are the smallest birds in the world. They live in the south American forest. Though the hummingbird is not bigger than a bee and weighs only 2 to 3 grams, it can fly as fast as 50 metres in a second. It can fly forwards as most birds do, and it can fly backwards as well. The strangest thing about it, however, is that it can stay still in the air just like an airplane.

Benjamin Franklin was the greatest scientist and inventor of America in the 18th century. He was also a writer, educator and politician (政治家).
He was born in 1706 in Boston, America. His father made candles, and he had seventeen children. Benjamin went to school when he was eight years old, but dropped out two years later and became a factory worker. Then he worked in different shops. He made friends with workers of bookshops so he could borrow some books to read at night and return them in the morning. He continued studying by himself in this way. And this is how he learned so much knowledge.
As a writer, he wrote three books. They are Poor Richard Almanack, The Way to Wealth and The Autobiography. In 1731, Benjamin opened the first public library named The Library Company of Philadelphia. He had a newspaper called The Pennsylvania Gazette. As an inventor, his most famous invention was the lightning rod (避雷针). He also invented the glasses for old people so they could see things both in the distance and near. He improved the street lamp and found out why people have a cold! Benjamin Franklin was really one of the greatest men in American history. Now you can still see his face on every 100-dollar note (纸币).

How can you remember numbers quickly? Have you ever used your fingers to count numbers or do you have any other ways to count them? Numbers are important in our daily life.
Many people think numbers and Maths are the same all over the world, but scientists found that it was not true. People in different parts of the world use their fingers to count and the ways they use are different. In the United States, people begin counting with their first fingers, and then they use the rest of their fingers to count to five. Next, they do this again with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions (位置). In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten by using only one hand.
Besides the ways of counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when we talk about numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and others have no words for numbers. For example, some people in Australia don’t have any hand movements to stand for numbers. They don’t even have any words for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.
We need to use numbers in our daily life, so numbers appear. Now we know numbers and Maths are different all over the world.
37. What did the scientists find according to the second paragraph?
A. Languages are different all over the world.
B. Cultures are different all over the world.
C. The ways of counting are different all over the world.
D. Numbers and Maths are the same all over the world.
38. How can Chinese people count to ten?
A. By using the first fingers. B. By using only one finger.
C. By using only one hand. D. By using the last fingers.
39. What CAN’T we know about numbers according to the passage?
A. Numbers appeared the earliest in China.
B. Numbers appeared because people needed them in their daily life.
C. Some languages have only a few words for numbers.
D. Numbers are connected with the culture.
40. What does the writer want to tell us?
A. How to use numbers. B. The history of numbers.
C. How to understand numbers. D. Something about numbers and counting.
【答案】37. C 38. C 39. A 40. D

It’s impolite ________ ________ _______ _______ others.
【答案】 ①. to ②. make ③. fun ④. of
【解析】
【详解】make fun of“取笑”,动词短语;根据“It’s impolite ... others.”可知,it is+adj.+to do sth.表示“做某事是……的”,it作形式主语,不定式作真正的主语。故填to;make;fun;of。

________ ________, the wheel is one of the ________ important ________ of all time.
【答案】 ①. Without ②. doubt ③. most ④. inventions

59. 恐龙大约在6600万年前就灭绝了。
Dinosaurs ________ ________ about 66 million years ago.
【答案】 ①. died ②. out
【解析】

62. 汤姆走路去上学,而不是乘公交车。
Tom goes to school ________ ________ ________ ________ taking a bus.
【答案】 ①. on ②. foot ③. instead ④. of

【解析】
【详解】原句中“没有……大”和“比……高”是关键词,前两空:此处要表达“和玛丽一样大”的含义,同级比较结构“as + 形容词原级 + as”表示“和……一样……”,否定句里第一个as也可以替换为so,构成“not as/so + 形容词原级 + as”,意为“不如……”,正好对应“杰克没有玛丽大”的语义;后两空:句中出现了表示比较的标志词than(比),结合“比她高”的语义,要使用形容词tall的比较级taller,构成taller than的比较结构,符合后半句的句意要求。

How to use smartphones properly
Nowadays, nearly everyone has a smartphone. It is just like a small computer but much easier to use. We can use it to look up useful information, talk with friends, and pay for things anytime.
But it also brings problems. Spending too much time playing games makes some students lose interest in study, and long-term phone use hurts our eyes.
