The scientific study of earthquakes is comparatively new. Until the 18th century, few factual descriptions of earthquakes were recorded, and the natural causes of earthquakes were not well understood.
The earliest earthquake for which we have descriptive information occurred in China in 1177 BC. The Chinese earthquake catalog (目录) describes several dozen large earthquakes in China during the next few thousand years. Earthquakes in Europe were mentioned as early as 580 BC, but the earliest for which we have some descriptive information occurred in the mid-16th century. The earliest known earthquakes in the Americas were in Mexico in the late 14th century and in Peru in 1471, but descriptions of the effects were not well recorded. By the 17th century, descriptions of the effects of earthquakes were being published around the world.
The most widely felt earthquakes in the recorded history of North America were a series that occurred in 1811-1812 near New Madrid, Missouri. A great earthquake, whose magnitude is reported to have been about 8, occurred on the morning of December 16, 1811. Another great earthquake occurred on January 23, 1812, and a third, the strongest yet, on February 7, 1812. Aftershocks (余震) were nearly continuous between these great earthquakes and continued for months afterwards. These earthquakes were felt by people as far away as Boston and Denver. Because the population in these regions was small, the destruction of human life and property was slight.
The San Francisco earthquake of 1906 was one of the most destructive in the recorded history of North America——the earthquake and the fire that followed killed nearly 700 people and left the city in ruins.
1. When did published descriptions of the effects of earthquakes become popular in the world

B. In the 1400s.
C. In the 1500s.

A. They killed a large number of people.
B. They occurred in San Francisco.
C. They could be felt very far away.
D. They almost destroyed entire cities.
3. What can we infer from the passage
A. Few earthquakes were scientifically studied before the 18th century.
B. Earthquakes can be avoided with the development of technology.
C. Most of the early earthquakes caused little damage.
D. People haven't found the causes of earthquakes so far.
4. What's the best title for this passage
A. The scientific study of earthquakes
B. Earthquakes in history

A food delivery man defeated a master from Peking University and won CCTV's Chinese Poetry Conference on April 4,2018. Lei Haiwei kept calm during the final of the third season of CCTV's Chinese Poetry Conference on Wednesday night, becoming the champion after defeating Peng Min, a master of literature from China's top university.
Lei, from Shaoyang in Hunan, is now working as a food delivery man in Hangzhou of Zhejiang. His interest in poetry was inspired by his father, who would write poems down, stick them on the wall of the kitchen and teach him to read them from a young age.
Lei missed the opportunity of going to university due to frequent school transfers when he was growing up. But that didn't diminish his passion for poetry. Since he was too poor to buy books, Lei would memorize poems in bookstores and write them out when he returned home. He used this unique method to accumulate more than 1,000 poems.
Though Lei came to Hangzhou in 2008 and works as a fast food courier, his love for poems hasn't faded. On his busiest work days, the courier has to deliver more than 50 orders a day. Even so, he seized any available moment to recite poems. "For example, I am used to reciting poems when I wait for food at restaurants and traffic lights on my way to deliver food. Reciting poems not only enriches my knowledge, but also makes my job less boring," the courier said.
In November, 2017, Lei went to Beijing and began recording the TV show after standing out from more than 70,000 people who signed up for the competition. After winning, Lei returned to Hangzhou and continues his delivery work and the memorizing of poems.
Lei's outstanding performance during the final, and his inspirational story, have amazed Chinese audiences.
"His love of learning is so pure, it moved me to tears,"one netizen said "It always amazes me how some people simply hunger for knowledge," another shared.
1.Why did Lei Haiwei have no chance to go to college
A.His family was very poor. .He was fascinated with poems.
C.He was too busy to study. .He often changed schools.
2.The underlined word "diminish" in the third paragraph can be replaced by "_______" .
A.inspire B.increase C.reduce .encourage
3.What does Paragraph 4 mainly tells us
A.Lei's work is delivering food for others. B.Lei’s daily life is highly stressful at present.
C.Lei uses any available time to recite poems. D.Reciting poems improves his knowledge.
4.How did people find Lei's story
A.Interesting. B.Inspiring. C.Fascinating. D.Shocking.

It was summer when I was asked whether I wanted to go to Malibu (an island in Canada) with my church to serve the military families. At first, I heard this and thought, "You are asking an eleven-year-old boy in his last weeks of summer if he wants to go on a trip with his mom to Canada to serve other people " Of course, I responded with a refusal, but my mom found a way to convince me to go.
When we were on the ferry to the island, a thousand thoughts were running through my head, such as "What am I going to do here " "Am I even going to be useful " and "Why am I even here " When we got to the island, I was asked to look after the kids. I was actually somewhat excited because my friend said he would help me. The first time I met the kids, I got to know them pretty well. They were all between the ages of four and six. Some of them stayed well-behaved and a few of them started acting crazy and would even hit and push the other kids.
With those kids, I was very strict, but I still tried to be positive and keep a smile. After all, they were just innocent kids. In most of the time, I needed to help them with things like washing clothes, and setting tables. Even though they sounded dull, I enjoyed every second of them. One of the things I did in my free time was to play pool (打台球). I made friends with a few kids there. They were really easy to talk to. Some of the things we talked about were sports, food and video games.
Even though I was only at Malibu, Canada for one week, I feel like I made spiritual changes in some people's life. You don't have to go above and beyond to have an influence on someone's life. In the end, it all comes down to the way you changed them. It could have been in a spiritual way or a mental way as long as you had a positive effect. So go out and try to make a difference in this world.
1.How did the author react when asked if he liked to serve the military families
A.He hardly believed it. B.He was very confused about the decision.
C.He refused to accept it. D.He was worried about the trip.
2.As a volunteer, the author's main task on the island was _______.
A.to take care of kids there B.to educate kids there
C.to make friends with kids there D.to share his experiences with kids there
3.What can we know about the author's stay in Malibu
A.He found the kids very hard to deal with. B.He didn't quite like the badly-behaved kids.
C.He managed to get along well with most kids. D.He shared common hobbies with some kids.
4.What does the author mainly tell us in the last paragraph
A.He regretted having taken the trip. B.His spiritual changes in Malibu.
C.What he has learnt from the experience. D.What to do to make a greater difference.

Finding your values is in line with creating motivation. ②________ Pick a handful of things and write them down. Remind yourself of your values every day and reflect on whether you are honouring those values through your work.

I remember the first time I met Roy. He was telling a joke. When he reached the final line, everyone burst out laughing. “ A popular boy,” I thought to myself. My name is Daniel. I was the new boy in the class. There were 33 students in my new class,and most people weren’t very interested in a shy new boy. Roy was kind to me. He often invited me to join his particular group, and we became good friends. We trusted each other and we could talk about personal matters.
Five years later, Roy and I were still in the same class. But just under a year ago, Roy’s father was knocked over by a car. He died a few days later. The family had difficulty with finance, Roy changed completely. He started losing friends, including me.
About three months ago,a group of us were playing football together after school. Having left something in the classroom, I went inside to get it, and found Roy going through the pockets of people’s coats. In his hand he had a wallet— and I knew it wasn’t his! Roy went bright red. “ I’ll put it back right now, ' he said, and he did so. I turned round and walked out without saying a word. I really hoped that Roy would explain why He had been stealing, but instead he started avoiding me.
Last week our school had a big fair in order to raise money for a charity and we made about 500. But to our surprise, the next morning, we were told that the money had been stolen. This morning I decided to ask Roy about the theft so I went to see him. Roy was out. I put his jacket on and put my hands in the pockets. I could feel a lot of paper notes and I pulled them out. It looked as if there was about 500 there.
I was so surprised that I just stood there, holding the notes in my hand. At that moment, Roy walked in.

9.答案：
Paragraph 1
Seeing me stand there with the money in my hand, Roy felt panicked. I became very angry, asking him if it was the money that we raised last week. He went bright red, admitting that he had stolen it in a low voice. I slowly calmed down and hugged him, telling him that I would be willing to help him overcome his difficulty. He wept and then we had a sincere talk face to face. At last we agreed to return the money.
Paragraph 2
We went to the head teacher Mrs Smith, together. In the teacher’s office, Roy returned the money to Mrs Smith, and guaranteed not to do such things again. Though Mrs Smith was so surprised that she couldn’t believe her eyes, she praised him for his courage and correction and told him if he had difficulty with finance she would be ready to help him. Roy was moved to tears. After that, we became good friends again. We trusted each other and shared sorrow and happiness together.

The most widely felt earthquakes in the recorded history of North America were a series that occurred in 1811-1812 near New Madrid, Missouri. A great earthquake, whose magnitude is reported to have been about 8, occurred on the morning of December 16, 1811. Another great earthquake occurred on January 23, 1812, and a third, the strongest yet, on February 7, 1812. Aftershocks (余震) were nearly continuous between these great earthquakes and continued for months afterwards. These earthquakes were felt by people as far away as Boston and Denver. Because the population in these regions was small, the destruction of human life and property was slight.
The San Francisco earthquake of 1906 was one of the most destructive in the recorded history of North America——the earthquake and the fire that followed killed nearly 700 people and left the city in ruins.

A food delivery man defeated a master from Peking University and won CCTV's Chinese Poetry Conference on April 4,2018. Lei Haiwei kept calm during the final of the third season of CCTV's Chinese Poetry Conference on Wednesday night, becoming the champion after defeating Peng Min, a master of literature from China's top university.
Lei, from Shaoyang in Hunan, is now working as a food delivery man in Hangzhou of Zhejiang. His interest in poetry was inspired by his father, who would write poems down, stick them on the wall of the kitchen and teach him to read them from a young age.
Lei missed the opportunity of going to university due to frequent school transfers when he was growing up. But that didn't diminish his passion for poetry. Since he was too poor to buy books, Lei would memorize poems in bookstores and write them out when he returned home. He used this unique method to accumulate more than 1,000 poems.
Though Lei came to Hangzhou in 2008 and works as a fast food courier, his love for poems hasn't faded. On his busiest work days, the courier has to deliver more than 50 orders a day. Even so, he seized any available moment to recite poems. "For example, I am used to reciting poems when I wait for food at restaurants and traffic lights on my way to deliver food. Reciting poems not only enriches my knowledge, but also makes my job less boring," the courier said.
In November, 2017, Lei went to Beijing and began recording the TV show after standing out from more than 70,000 people who signed up for the competition. After winning, Lei returned to Hangzhou and continues his delivery work and the memorizing of poems.
Lei's outstanding performance during the final, and his inspirational story, have amazed Chinese audiences.
"His love of learning is so pure, it moved me to tears,"one netizen said "It always amazes me how some people simply hunger for knowledge," another shared.
1.Why did Lei Haiwei have no chance to go to college
A.His family was very poor. .He was fascinated with poems.
C.He was too busy to study. .He often changed schools.
2.The underlined word "diminish" in the third paragraph can be replaced by "_______" .
A.inspire B.increase C.reduce .encourage
3.What does Paragraph 4 mainly tells us
A.Lei's work is delivering food for others. B.Lei’s daily life is highly stressful at present.
C.Lei uses any available time to recite poems. D.Reciting poems improves his knowledge.
4.How did people find Lei's story
A.Interesting. B.Inspiring. C.Fascinating. D.Shocking.

It was summer when I was asked whether I wanted to go to Malibu (an island in Canada) with my church to serve the military families. At first, I heard this and thought, "You are asking an eleven-year-old boy in his last weeks of summer if he wants to go on a trip with his mom to Canada to serve other people " Of course, I responded with a refusal, but my mom found a way to convince me to go.
When we were on the ferry to the island, a thousand thoughts were running through my head, such as "What am I going to do here " "Am I even going to be useful " and "Why am I even here " When we got to the island, I was asked to look after the kids. I was actually somewhat excited because my friend said he would help me. The first time I met the kids, I got to know them pretty well. They were all between the ages of four and six. Some of them stayed well-behaved and a few of them started acting crazy and would even hit and push the other kids.
With those kids, I was very strict, but I still tried to be positive and keep a smile. After all, they were just innocent kids. In most of the time, I needed to help them with things like washing clothes, and setting tables. Even though they sounded dull, I enjoyed every second of them. One of the things I did in my free time was to play pool (打台球). I made friends with a few kids there. They were really easy to talk to. Some of the things we talked about were sports, food and video games.
Even though I was only at Malibu, Canada for one week, I feel like I made spiritual changes in some people's life. You don't have to go above and beyond to have an influence on someone's life. In the end, it all comes down to the way you changed them. It could have been in a spiritual way or a mental way as long as you had a positive effect. So go out and try to make a difference in this world.
1.How did the author react when asked if he liked to serve the military families
A.He hardly believed it. B.He was very confused about the decision.
C.He refused to accept it. D.He was worried about the trip.
2.As a volunteer, the author's main task on the island was _______.
A.to take care of kids there B.to educate kids there
C.to make friends with kids there D.to share his experiences with kids there
3.What can we know about the author's stay in Malibu
A.He found the kids very hard to deal with. B.He didn't quite like the badly-behaved kids.
C.He managed to get along well with most kids. D.He shared common hobbies with some kids.
4.What does the author mainly tell us in the last paragraph
A.He regretted having taken the trip. B.His spiritual changes in Malibu.
C.What he has learnt from the experience. D.What to do to make a greater difference.

I remember the first time I met Roy. He was telling a joke. When he reached the final line, everyone burst out laughing. “ A popular boy,” I thought to myself. My name is Daniel. I was the new boy in the class. There were 33 students in my new class,and most people weren’t very interested in a shy new boy. Roy was kind to me. He often invited me to join his particular group, and we became good friends. We trusted each other and we could talk about personal matters.
Five years later, Roy and I were still in the same class. But just under a year ago, Roy’s father was knocked over by a car. He died a few days later. The family had difficulty with finance, Roy changed completely. He started losing friends, including me.
About three months ago,a group of us were playing football together after school. Having left something in the classroom, I went inside to get it, and found Roy going through the pockets of people’s coats. In his hand he had a wallet— and I knew it wasn’t his! Roy went bright red. “ I’ll put it back right now, ' he said, and he did so. I turned round and walked out without saying a word. I really hoped that Roy would explain why He had been stealing, but instead he started avoiding me.
Last week our school had a big fair in order to raise money for a charity and we made about 500. But to our surprise, the next morning, we were told that the money had been stolen. This morning I decided to ask Roy about the theft so I went to see him. Roy was out. I put his jacket on and put my hands in the pockets. I could feel a lot of paper notes and I pulled them out. It looked as if there was about 500 there.
I was so surprised that I just stood there, holding the notes in my hand. At that moment, Roy walked in.

9.答案：
Paragraph 1
Seeing me stand there with the money in my hand, Roy felt panicked. I became very angry, asking him if it was the money that we raised last week. He went bright red, admitting that he had stolen it in a low voice. I slowly calmed down and hugged him, telling him that I would be willing to help him overcome his difficulty. He wept and then we had a sincere talk face to face. At last we agreed to return the money.
Paragraph 2
We went to the head teacher Mrs Smith, together. In the teacher’s office, Roy returned the money to Mrs Smith, and guaranteed not to do such things again. Though Mrs Smith was so surprised that she couldn’t believe her eyes, she praised him for his courage and correction and told him if he had difficulty with finance she would be ready to help him. Roy was moved to tears. After that, we became good friends again. We trusted each other and shared sorrow and happiness together.
