A.You are not sure a story on social media is true,so you search online for more information. B.You don't believe a bad story about a soccer player because he plays for your favorite team. C.You read several reports about a topic before deciding what you think about it. D.You post a message online that gives your opinion about a news story. 半期模拟第7页共12页 54.What does the word "verify"mean? A.To make sure something is true B.To express an opinion about something. C.To think about something for a long time D.To check if a statement is a fact or an opinion 55.What does Dr.Sloman advise people to do when facing information on social media? A.Share all the headlines with friends B.Check things instead of only taking them at face value C.Stop reading any news online D.Believe the stories matching their worldview 56.What would be the best title for the reading? A.Stop,Question,and Check B.Why We Believe What We're Told C.Social Media and How to Use It D.A Great Discovery of the Human Mind V.口语运用。（每小题1分，共5分） 阅读下面对话，从方框内7个选项中选择5个恰当的句子完成此对话，并把答题卡上对 应题目的答案标号涂黑。 A:What's up,May?You look really sad.

Bats are very useful for our world.Most small bats feed on harmful insects().A single bat can eat thousands of tiny insects every night,which helps farmers cut down the use of harmful pesticides().Some fruits bats help forest development by dropping seeds when they eat fruits.What's more,some kinds of bats work just like bees,pollinating wild flowers and helping plants produce fruits and seeds. Bats use a special skill called echolocation to find their way in dark places.They send out sound waves and receive returning signals.This helps them hunt insects and stay away from walls or trees. Unfortunately,bat numbers are dropping fast in recent years.Human activities are the main cause.Forest destruction()cuts down their living space.Meanwhile,light pollution and human fear make it harder for bats to live safely.Protecting bats means protecting our whole ecosystem. 62.Do most people have right opinions about bats? 63.How do bats fly and hunt in the dark? 64.If the number of bats keeps falling,what possible changes may we see in farmland and forests? Give at least two results. 65.What can we do to protect these ugly but helpful small wild animals like bats?(at least two points and around 25 words) VII.词性转换。 用所给单词的适当形式填空，每空不限一词。（每小题1分，共8分） 66.His sudden (arrive)surprised everyone at the meeting. 67."Would you like to go with me?"Tom asked.She (nod)in reply. 半期模拟第9页共12页 68.Many people prefer to stay (comfortable)at home during National Day. 69.Richard is (hard-worlcing)than me,so I often does better in schoolwork than he does. 70.The guide reminded the visitors (not touch)the ancient Chinese paintings in the museum. 71.One of the most amazing (similar)between bees and ants is that they live and work in groups. 72.We had a (pleasure)conversation about traditional Chinese culture in the class meeting. 73.The vet kept trying to save the poor little dog,but it was still (die) V.完成句子。（每小题2分，共8分）》 74.I had close friends at school 75.My Chinese teacher noticed my shyness. 76.I,ready,my,am,to,ideas,express,to,ofhers 77.无论你是什么样的人，你都可以以自己的方式发光。 My name is Jack Green.I used to be a shy and quiet boy.I was afraid to speak in public.74.I close friends at school..(否定句)75. _my shyness??(对划线部分 My Chinese teacher.She encouraged me to join the school speech club.At first,I felt nervous when I stood on the stage.But I kept practising my speeches and communicated with my partners patiently.Gradually,I became more outgoing and confident.Now I have lots of good friends.76.

Open any app on your phone and you'll see the same products,the same places,and the same choices-everywhere.But where does this term come from and what does it really mean? Its meaning has changed over time.It was first used to describe a herd()of sheep moving together whenever danger appears.They follow the herd because there is strength in numbers. Today,however,it means something different.The term now describes a common scene()in daily life.People see what others are doing and simply copy it-not because they mean to,but because it saves them the trouble of thinking. 半期模拟第10页共12页 This phenomenon()is easy to notice in daily life.On social media,thousands buy the same things or visit the same places-all because someone popular posted about it.In schools, some choose activities or future plans based on what their friends pick.They just follow others, never stopping to ask if they truly like it.Why does this happen a lot especially among students? On the one hand,their days are packed with classes,training,and tasks planned by others,leaving almost no quiet moment to ask what they truly want.Over time,they forget how to think for themselves.On the other hand,the thought of being the only one who thinks differently scares them.This habit leads to a loss of self-identity(自我认同). Experts say the herd effect is common and can be overcome.They suggest that before joining any trend(),young people should stop and ask:"Do I truly like this,or do I just not want to be different?"When a student picks something different,they may fear being different at first.But once they get into it,they realize no one really cares.This makes them less afraid of standing out. What's more,they start to enjoy every day more,because they are doing what they truly want.In the end,thinking for yourself brings real growth. Summary The term "herd effect"is now widely used online.It first meant animals staying together to 78 Now it means that 79 _This phenomenon happens a lot especially among students because of 80 _Experts say young people should stop and think before following others,because making their own choices help them become 81 In the end,thinking for yourself brings real growth.
