三、阅读单选
（一）
Some people are very careful about everything they do. On the other hand, some people, especially teens, do things without thinking too much about the results. Why is this
Anna, a psychologist uses computer games to find out why some people are more likely to take risks. In one game, players are asked to click (点击) on a balloon on a computer screen. Every time they click, the balloon gets bigger. The bigger the balloon is, the larger the prize will be. But if the balloon gets too big, it’ll be broken and the player will get nothing.
Anna found that when teens played this game, a part of their brain called the striatum (纹状体) would become more active. It makes teens want to win. Another part of the brain, the prefrontal cortex (前额皮质), helps them control their decision-making process.
It turns out that young people have more striatums and less prefrontal cortexes, which affects their ability to make careful decisions. You might have already guessed that teens break more balloons during the game than adults-mainly because they like to take risks more and don’t take the time to think carefully.
“The teen brain is like a car with a very strong engine,” Anna said. “Its brakes (刹车) just don’t work as well.”
36．It’s more possible for ________ to do things without thinking too much about the result.
A．an 80-year-old man
B．a 15-year-old student
C．a 6-year-old boy
37．Anna does the test to find out the ________ of being a risk-taker.
A．importance
B．cause
C．use
38．Players will ________ if the balloons are broken.
A．be the winners
B．get prizes
C．lose the game
39．If a person is careful about making decisions, he may have ________.
A．more prefrontal cortexes
B．less prefrontal cortexes
C．more striatums
40．What can we know from the article ________
A．In the game, the teenagers probably get the most prizes.
B．Anna does the test by asking people to create a computer game.
C．Anna compares teens to the cars which have strong engines without good brakes.
（二）
People depend on plants. We use plants for food, cloth, shelter(住处), and even the air we breathe(呼吸).
Plants keep our air and water clean. Green plants give us oxygen(氧气). It is part of the air we breathe. Plants are also part of the water cycle. Most of the water that a plant takes in goes back into the air. Plants give us a lot of the food on the earth. Fruits, vegetables, and grains come from plants. Without plants, we would not have bread, rice, carrots, apples, oranges, or bananas! Many people are growing plants to eat in their own gardens at home. Having your own garden helps the earth as well. When you grow your own fruits and vegetables, you help cut down on pollution because big trucks don’t need to take your food to shops. You also help reduce the amount of rubbish because you don’t need to use bags for packing your food. You can just put it into a basket!
Trees are an important plant resource(资源). Trees provide wood to build homes and furniture. Trees are used to make lots of things around your home and at your school. And trees provide fruits that are good for you. Without trees, the earth would be a very different place.
41．________ is part of the air we breathe.
A．Plants B．Water C．Sunlight D．Oxygen
42．What happens to most of the water that a plant takes in
A．It goes back into the air. B．It stays in the plant.
C．It goes into the ground. D．It stays in the river.
43．What does the phrase “cut down on” mean in Paragraph 5
A．Cause. B．Accept. C．Reduce. D．Expect.
44．What is the best title of the passage
A．A Different Place B．The Uses of Plants C．Food on the Earth D．Gardens at Home
45．You would find the passage in _________.
A．an interesting story book B．a book about animals
C．a popular play D．a book about nature

Hey, friends! We don't know when earthquakes will happen but we need to know what to do during an earthquake. Here's my advice:
When we're inside, don't jump out of high buildings. Stay away from windows and heavy furniture. Hide under a strong bed or table. When the earthquake stops, leave the building quickly. Remember not to use the lift.
When we're outside, move away from buildings, street lights, power lines, bridges and trees. If we're in the mountains, pay attention to falling rocks. If we're on the beach, run away from the sea and go to higher ground at once.
The most important thing is to keep calm.
Follow the rules we learned and then we can be safe and help others.
