Unit 10 I’ve had this bike for three years.
一、阅读理解
A
Alma Deutscher, 11, is playing during a performance on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. She is a pride of England. Alma became famous after writing her first opera, The Sweeper of Dreams. She wrote her first music six years ago. Alma is not only a great composer but a skilled violinist and pianist.
Alma finds it easy to think of her compositions (艺术作品), but having to sit down and develop it into a proper piece is really difficult for her. Alma’s father Guy is a musician, too. He said he realized his daughter had a connection with music when she was a baby.
While her abilities have led to comparisons with Mozart — a greatest musician — Alma insists she wants to be no one but herself. "I actually think that if I was again a little Mozart then it would be a bit boring," she said. "I think I would prefer to be a little Alma."
1 Alma is talented in _____.
A. drawing B. language
C. music D. writing
2 When did Alma begin to write music
A. When she was eleven years old.
B. When she was seven years old.
C. When she was six years old.
D. When she was five years old.
3 According to the passage, which sentence is NOT true
A. Alma is good at playing the violin.
B. Alma comes from England.
C. Alma wants to be a pianist like Mozart.
D. Alma’s father Guy is a musician, too.
B
This old English mastiff (獒犬) may be huge, but inside he’s just a sweet little puppy. The dog’s name is Baron. He is 6 inches long and weighs 250 pounds — and he’s only going to get bigger.
Baron is only 2 years old, and won’t be fully grown until he is 4. His owners, Mark York and Dorothy York, believe he’s the biggest dog in Australia, but have not been able to get any official recognition (认可).
"But Baron is one gentle giant," owner Mark York told an interviewer in an e-mail. "He cries when I leave the house and likes playing with a big rubber chicken that he shakes in his mouth. Every morning when we come downstairs he will greet us and run around in circles. He is just a big soft baby boy. He’s really lovely and friendly."
As you might expect, Baron has an appetite fitting his size. "It costs us more than $ 200 a week to feed. And he doesn’t go out after 10 p. m. and sleeps all night in the house," the Yorks told the interviewer. By the way, Baron is an animal helper. He will start work in schools and hospitals in a few months.
4 Baron will be fully grown when he is _____.
A. two years old B. three years old
C. four years old D. five years old
5 Baron is a _____ mastiff according to Mark.
A. happy B. brave
C. gentle D. outgoing
6 We can know that Baron likes to _____.
A. play with a chicken
B. stay with his owners
C. go out for walks
D. run around the house
7 The underlined word "appetite" in the last paragraph means "_____" in Chinese.
A. 食谱 B. 爱好
C. 体型 D. 胃口
C
Five Habits That Help You Lose Weight
Get your dairy ready.
A glass of milk or a cup of Greek yogurt before bed can do more than fight the feelings of hunger. They also help you get stronger while you sleep, according to the research published in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise.
Arrange (安排) time properly.
"Relaxing before bed can seem like a waste of time when most of us are rushing to get everything done right up until we get in bed," says Scott. "But it’s actually better to take the 30 minutes before going to bed — even if that means going to sleep a little later."
Use soft lighting.
"Even without a bedtime habit, bright lights coming in through your bedroom windows can cut down on your body’s production of sleepy-time melatonin (视黑激素) that can influence people’s sleep quality," says an expert.
Do some bedtime yoga (瑜伽).
We all know that exercising every day is one of the best ways to lose weight. Performing some light stretches or yoga before bed helps the body relax. It’s easier for people to fall asleep. If you want to get more relaxation, follow these steps: Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, focusing on taking slow, complete breaths.
Avoid (避免) the drink.
Drinking before bed can influence sleep. That’s because the drink doesn’t let your body actually rest. That results in longer light sleep stages, decreased dream sleep, and more fragmented dream sleep.
8 This passage tells us _____.
A. how to keep healthy
B. how to sleep well
C. how to eat healthily
D. how to lose weight
9 According to the passage, to get good sleep, we’d better _____ before going to bed.
A. drink a cup of tea B. eat some fruit
C. listen to music D. turn down the light
10 Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. Sports can make people sleep faster.
B. If you feel tired, you can do yoga.
C. Drink is good for your sleep.
D. There is no need for people to relax before bed.
二、任务型阅读
I was just out of college, only three days into a graduate (研究生) year in England, and I was pulling a heavy bag and a suitcase (箱子) through the London Underground. ①I was also crying out of control.
The day before yesterday, my uncle told me never to speak to him, his wife, or my two cousins again. Earlier, I made a joke. I didn’t mean to hurt my aunt’s feelings, but it did. I spent the evening in an ugly blue telephone booth (电话亭), crying as I spoke to a family friend who lived in England.
When I left the phone booth, I went back to a silent house with three closed bedroom doors. ②清晨，我听到大家都起床去上学或上班。I wrote a note to say sorry and pulled my bags to the train station. When I got into London, I had to take the underground to Angel Station to get to my family friend’s house.
I was familiar with the underground, but at the time, it was just endless white tiles (瓷砖). Coming to England seemed like a bad decision. Crying yet again, I tried to lift my suitcase up the stairs. When I was trying hard to walk forward, there were hands. Each time I faced another group of steps, a hand would lift the suitcase. At the top of the steps, the hand would let go, and I’d pull the suitcase to the next group. And just as I wanted to try again, another hand would appear.
It happened several times. I never looked up, because I couldn’t stop crying. Each hand looked different, and many different people helped me, without asking or saying anything. I couldn’t look up. I wasn’t able to say thank you.
I went on to have an amazing year studying in England, but that was the last time I saw or spoke to any of my uncle’s family. Yet when I think _____ that terrible loss in 2015, I remember those strangers’ hands. They were there when I needed them, and even now, they help me out of the sadness of that memory. I think of them as I ride the underground in Washington D. C. today, and I watch the citizens and tourists to offer hands at any time.

四、书面表达
Dear students,
In some parts of our country，there are many children out of school，because their family can’t afford to send them to school. At the same time，children don’t have enough money to buy school things and clothes.
In my opinion，each child should have the right to go to school，but there are few chances for them. So we should try our best to do something to help them. For example，give them school things and clothes，donate money to give them more chances and so on. I believe if we work together，we can make a better future for them.
