How much do you know about Chicago in the United States You might think it's a big city. And so it is! Only New York City and Los Angles have more people than Chicago.
"The Windy City" is Chicago's most famous nickname (绰号). It is for good reason. The city lies right next to Lake Michigan and heavy winds blow through the city all year around.
Chicago is well-known for its art and culture. Most tourists think the Art Institute of Chicago is the first place to visit in the city. The Art Institute of Chicago is one of the oldest art institutes in the world. It's also one of the three biggest art institutes in the US. It is not only a school, but also a world-class art museum. You can find many famous works of art here.
If you're not interested in a museum, your best choice is to visit Millennium Park. Millennium Park lies in the center of Chicago. This park holds the famous Cloud Gate, a huge statue designed by the English artist Anish. Cloud Gate is extraordinary because it looks like a big reflective (反光的) bean. Many people enjoy taking photos in its reflection.

Before a new building at the World Trade Center was built in 2014, Willis Tower was the tallest building in the US. It has 108 stories. You can go up to the top of it and step out onto a glass box.

Deep in the forest of southeastern Mexico, scientists found a surprise. They found an ancient pyramid. There were colorful murals (壁画) in it. A mural is a painting on a wall. Those murals are helping scientists unlock a mystery about people who lived in ancient times.
The murals are about 1,350 years old. That's more than five times older than the United States. Scientists say the paintings belonged to the Mayas. That was a group of Native American people. They lived many years ago in what is now Mexico and Central America.
Scientists are excited about the discovery because they don't know much about the Mayas' daily life, explains Michael Coe, an expert on the Mayas. The paintings show how the Mayas worked, shopped and dined. One mural shows a man drinking from a bowl.
Another shows a woman selling food to a crowd of people.
"Mostly we get the murals that show gods and kings, never anything about the daily life," Coe said. "This is like walking into a Maya supermarket." So far, scientists have found more than 30 murals in the pyramid. They are not sure why the Mayas created them. The experts hope to learn more as they continue their search.
"We never had anything like this before," said Coe. "These are really special murals."
Scientists learned a lot about the Mayas from the murals. The Mayas were known for more than paintings. Now the murals tell us some fun facts about the Mayan way of life.

There are many items that are thought to be unimportant in our life. However, some things are just nice to know. Consider the following everyday items.
The two little holes on the sides of your sports shoes Lots of sports shoes have these holes. For one thing, they can make your shoes look cool. For another thing, they can make your shoes fit more closely to your feet. Besides, the holes also let your feet get a little air so that they don't get too hot or smell too bad.
The fifth pocket on your jeans Cowboys in the American West were the first people to wear jeans. The fifth pocket was used for keeping their pocket watches safe and clean while rounding up cows. These days, the tiny pocket is used for keeping many things, such as coins and tickets.
Pom-poms Pom-poms are white balls. They are often found on knit (编织的) caps. However, they were once fixed to hats worn by soldiers in different European armies in the 18th and 19th centuries. The color of the pom-pom showed what team the soldier belonged to.
The hole at the top of your pen cap Many pen caps have holes at the top. This is because people like to chew (咬住) on them. The hole allows air to flow through the cap when people suck (吮吸) in the cap. This can keep people away from choking (噎到) on it—something that often happens with children.

Huang Shengen is a rural teacher. He is 53 years old this year. He has worked as the only teacher in a primary school for 35 years in a mountain village. Now he is a teacher of only one student Zeng, who is a 7-year-old girl living with her grandmother.
At the start of this term, all students had to study online at home in China. However, Huang found the network was not available (可用的) for Zeng. He tried to help with the network but found it was difficult.
"I tried again and again, but it didn't work. Zeng asked me what she should do if she couldn't attend classes online," Huang recalled.
In order not to let Zeng down, Huang came up with the idea of a mobile classroom one day. He tied a blackboard to his motorcycle (摩托车). Then he rode it and showed up at Zeng's home the next day with a ruler and a box of chalk together.
Huang's motorcycle has become a "treasure case" with all kinds of school objects. "Even if there is only one teacher and one student in the class, a 'sense of school day' is still needed," Huang said.
Huang rode more than 15 km up the mountain road to Zeng's home. Class started with the sound of a running motorcycle when the girl rushed out to her teacher.
The teacher and the student would do some exercise in the front yard after class. Huang also moved his art class to the field. The teacher and the student would set up an art board, took out a paintbrush and drew the yellow flowers and the beautiful mountain village.

In the countryside in Cambodia, a woman is preparing a meal for her family. She begins by pressing (压平) some garlic (蒜) and cutting up some chicken, and then adds them to a pot of boiling water. Next, she puts in a little salt and some lime (酸橙汁). Finally, she drops a 200g piece of iron (铁) into the pot, which is shaped like a fish.
Fish is a symbol of luck in Cambodia. However, asking for luck is not why thousands of Cambodians add an iron fish to their food. The fish is actually a new solution (解决方法) to a health problem. Nearly 50% of Cambodians suffer from anemia (贫血). It results from too little iron in the diet.
When Canadian scientist Christopher Charles visited Cambodia in 2008, he noticed that many people were anemic. Then he got the idea of getting people to place a fish-shaped piece of iron in their pots. As the water boils, the fish releases tiny amounts of iron. Another Canadian, Gavin Armstrong, created the Lucky Iron Fish program. Through the program, 9,000 fish were given out to local families, hospitals, and non-governmental organizations.
Further studies, however, have found that anemia in Cambodia is caused by much more than just short of iron. It appears that the iron fish may not be the complete solution to anemia.
Even if iron fish can't bring an end to anemia, it has a good effect on iron deficiency (缺乏). Whether Cambodians continue using it or not, the idea could be used in other places where iron deficiency is also a problem.
(1) What's the right order to prepare a meal in Cambodia
①Put in a little salt and some lime.
②Add the garlic and chicken into a potd
③Drop a 200g piece of iron fish into the pot
④Press some garlic and cut up some chicken.
A．①②③④ B．①③②④ C．④③②① D．④②①③
(2) Why do Cambodians add an iron fish to their food
A．It's a symbol of good luck.
B．It makes the food look better.
C．It's a solution to treat anemia.
D．It makes the food taste delicious.
(3) What does the underlined word "releases" in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．To take something out. B．To let something go out.
C．To see something go down. D．To make something better.
(4) What can we learn from the passage
A．The lucky fish brings an end to anemia.
B．The lucky fish has no effect on anemia.
C．The lucky fish helps people get more iron.
D．The lucky fish is popular around the world.

Once upon a time, when you searched for something on the Internet, you'd type your question into a search engine (引擎). However, more and more searches are now made using a different method—voice search.
Because of the developments in speech-recognition (语音识别) technology and the voice assistants (助手) that often come built into smart phones, people are increasingly depending on conversational communications with their phones.
Different from the typed searches, most of voice searches are expressed in natural language. They're also much more likely to use direct question words such as what, where, when, how, and why. For example, if you are searching for a cheap hairdresser, your text-based question might be "cheap hairdressers". But with voice search, you'd most likely ask your phone, "Where can I get a cheap haircut near me ''
The rise of voice search also offers new ways for advertising. Many experts feel that it's only a matter of time before we begin to hear ads in voice search results. These ads might come in one or several forms. For example, the search result itself could be an answer that is paid for by a company. Or a product introduction might be included in another question. Another choice is to have a short play before the answer.
Whether they're searching for fun places to travel to or the best chicken salad, many people prefer the convenience of voice search. However, no one knows exactly how voice search advertising will develop and how we will communicate with our electronic devices in the future.
(1) What's the main idea of Paragraph 1
A．People search everything on the Internet.
B．We don't need traditional search any more.
C．People spend too much time on smart phones.
D．Voice search is getting more and more popular.
(2) What will people most likely do with voice search if they are hungry
A．Send a text to the phone.
B．Type key words into the search engine.
C．Say "the nearest restaurant'' to the phone.
D．Say "Where can I get some food near me " to the phone.
(3) What can we know from the experts' words
A．People have to pay for the search result.
B．A product introduction shouldn't be included.
C．We may hear ads in voice search results in the future.
D．Voice search will take the place of traditional ways of search.
(4) What's the main purpose of this passage
A．To talk about voice search.
B．To introduce new smart phones.
C．To explain how to avoid ads.
D．To advise to communicate by voice.

Deep in the forest of southeastern Mexico, scientists found a surprise. They found an ancient pyramid. There were colorful murals (壁画) in it. A mural is a painting on a wall. Those murals are helping scientists unlock a mystery about people who lived in ancient times.
The murals are about 1,350 years old. That's more than five times older than the United States. Scientists say the paintings belonged to the Mayas. That was a group of Native American people. They lived many years ago in what is now Mexico and Central America.
Scientists are excited about the discovery because they don't know much about the Mayas' daily life, explains Michael Coe, an expert on the Mayas. The paintings show how the Mayas worked, shopped and dined. One mural shows a man drinking from a bowl.
Another shows a woman selling food to a crowd of people.
"Mostly we get the murals that show gods and kings, never anything about the daily life," Coe said. "This is like walking into a Maya supermarket." So far, scientists have found more than 30 murals in the pyramid. They are not sure why the Mayas created them. The experts hope to learn more as they continue their search.
"We never had anything like this before," said Coe. "These are really special murals."
Scientists learned a lot about the Mayas from the murals. The Mayas were known for more than paintings. Now the murals tell us some fun facts about the Mayan way of life.
Sweet Home

Smart Starts

Cool Clothes
Mayan men dressed themselves up with some cloth while women wore long dresses. Rich Mayas wore jewelry (珠宝).

(2) What can we know according to Michael Coe

The two little holes on the sides of your sports shoes Lots of sports shoes have these holes. For one thing, they can make your shoes look cool. For another thing, they can make your shoes fit more closely to your feet. Besides, the holes also let your feet get a little air so that they don't get too hot or smell too bad.
The fifth pocket on your jeans Cowboys in the American West were the first people to wear jeans. The fifth pocket was used for keeping their pocket watches safe and clean while rounding up cows. These days, the tiny pocket is used for keeping many things, such as coins and tickets.
Pom-poms Pom-poms are white balls. They are often found on knit (编织的) caps. However, they were once fixed to hats worn by soldiers in different European armies in the 18th and 19th centuries. The color of the pom-pom showed what team the soldier belonged to.
The hole at the top of your pen cap Many pen caps have holes at the top. This is because people like to chew (咬住) on them. The hole allows air to flow through the cap when people suck (吮吸) in the cap. This can keep people away from choking (噎到) on it—something that often happens with children.

Huang Shengen is a rural teacher. He is 53 years old this year. He has worked as the only teacher in a primary school for 35 years in a mountain village. Now he is a teacher of only one student Zeng, who is a 7-year-old girl living with her grandmother.
At the start of this term, all students had to study online at home in China. However, Huang found the network was not available (可用的) for Zeng. He tried to help with the network but found it was difficult.
"I tried again and again, but it didn't work. Zeng asked me what she should do if she couldn't attend classes online," Huang recalled.
In order not to let Zeng down, Huang came up with the idea of a mobile classroom one day. He tied a blackboard to his motorcycle (摩托车). Then he rode it and showed up at Zeng's home the next day with a ruler and a box of chalk together.
Huang's motorcycle has become a "treasure case" with all kinds of school objects. "Even if there is only one teacher and one student in the class, a 'sense of school day' is still needed," Huang said.
Huang rode more than 15 km up the mountain road to Zeng's home. Class started with the sound of a running motorcycle when the girl rushed out to her teacher.
The teacher and the student would do some exercise in the front yard after class. Huang also moved his art class to the field. The teacher and the student would set up an art board, took out a paintbrush and drew the yellow flowers and the beautiful mountain village.
(1) How long has Huang been a teacher
A．53 years. B．35 years. C．15 years. D．7 years.
(2) What does "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to (指代)
A．The motorcycle. B．The blackboard.
C．The ruler. D．The chalk.
(3) Where did Huang teach the art class
A．At Zeng's home. B．In the classroom.
C．In the yard. D．In the field.
(4) Which is the best title for the passage
A．The online study B．The way to school

In the countryside in Cambodia, a woman is preparing a meal for her family. She begins by pressing (压平) some garlic (蒜) and cutting up some chicken, and then adds them to a pot of boiling water. Next, she puts in a little salt and some lime (酸橙汁). Finally, she drops a 200g piece of iron (铁) into the pot, which is shaped like a fish.
Fish is a symbol of luck in Cambodia. However, asking for luck is not why thousands of Cambodians add an iron fish to their food. The fish is actually a new solution (解决方法) to a health problem. Nearly 50% of Cambodians suffer from anemia (贫血). It results from too little iron in the diet.
When Canadian scientist Christopher Charles visited Cambodia in 2008, he noticed that many people were anemic. Then he got the idea of getting people to place a fish-shaped piece of iron in their pots. As the water boils, the fish releases tiny amounts of iron. Another Canadian, Gavin Armstrong, created the Lucky Iron Fish program. Through the program, 9,000 fish were given out to local families, hospitals, and non-governmental organizations.
Further studies, however, have found that anemia in Cambodia is caused by much more than just short of iron. It appears that the iron fish may not be the complete solution to anemia.
Even if iron fish can't bring an end to anemia, it has a good effect on iron deficiency (缺乏). Whether Cambodians continue using it or not, the idea could be used in other places where iron deficiency is also a problem.
(1) What's the right order to prepare a meal in Cambodia
①Put in a little salt and some lime.
②Add the garlic and chicken into a potd
③Drop a 200g piece of iron fish into the pot
④Press some garlic and cut up some chicken.
A．①②③④ B．①③②④ C．④③②① D．④②①③
(2) Why do Cambodians add an iron fish to their food
A．It's a symbol of good luck.
B．It makes the food look better.
C．It's a solution to treat anemia.
D．It makes the food taste delicious.
(3) What does the underlined word "releases" in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．To take something out. B．To let something go out.
C．To see something go down. D．To make something better.
(4) What can we learn from the passage
A．The lucky fish brings an end to anemia.
B．The lucky fish has no effect on anemia.
C．The lucky fish helps people get more iron.
D．The lucky fish is popular around the world.

Once upon a time, when you searched for something on the Internet, you'd type your question into a search engine (引擎). However, more and more searches are now made using a different method—voice search.
Because of the developments in speech-recognition (语音识别) technology and the voice assistants (助手) that often come built into smart phones, people are increasingly depending on conversational communications with their phones.
Different from the typed searches, most of voice searches are expressed in natural language. They're also much more likely to use direct question words such as what, where, when, how, and why. For example, if you are searching for a cheap hairdresser, your text-based question might be "cheap hairdressers". But with voice search, you'd most likely ask your phone, "Where can I get a cheap haircut near me ''
The rise of voice search also offers new ways for advertising. Many experts feel that it's only a matter of time before we begin to hear ads in voice search results. These ads might come in one or several forms. For example, the search result itself could be an answer that is paid for by a company. Or a product introduction might be included in another question. Another choice is to have a short play before the answer.
Whether they're searching for fun places to travel to or the best chicken salad, many people prefer the convenience of voice search. However, no one knows exactly how voice search advertising will develop and how we will communicate with our electronic devices in the future.
(1) What's the main idea of Paragraph 1
A．People search everything on the Internet.
B．We don't need traditional search any more.
C．People spend too much time on smart phones.
D．Voice search is getting more and more popular.
(2) What will people most likely do with voice search if they are hungry
A．Send a text to the phone.
B．Type key words into the search engine.
C．Say "the nearest restaurant'' to the phone.
D．Say "Where can I get some food near me " to the phone.
(3) What can we know from the experts' words
A．People have to pay for the search result.
B．A product introduction shouldn't be included.
C．We may hear ads in voice search results in the future.
D．Voice search will take the place of traditional ways of search.
(4) What's the main purpose of this passage
A．To talk about voice search.
B．To introduce new smart phones.
C．To explain how to avoid ads.
D．To advise to communicate by voice.
