A
These are some ideas that some people came up with about what the life will be like in the year 2500.
We will have established a base on the moon.School kids can take field trips to the moon weekly.We will have found cures(疗法) for AIDS and cancer.The war will have ended and peace flows freely through the land.Kids will learn more and be smarter than ever before！History will be the main subject at school.Cafeteria(自助餐厅) food will be delicious！You just walk up to a machine,stick out your tongue,and it will scan your taste buds(味蕾) to see what you want to eat.—Kristen
Here I am in the wonderful year of 2500 and life is so easy.I work in a pet store and it is so hard！I have to wake up at midnight every day and fly my car to the store.It takes so long to get there.It takes me 20 seconds to get to the store in Mississippi from my home in Florida！At work,I have to push 5 buttons and then I go home.It takes 2 seconds and that is like forever.
—Morgan
In the year 2500,I think we will have invented cars that run on things we don’t need like garbage.Tail gas will smell like whatever you like such as chocolate.I also predict that buildings will be able to go into a different dimension(维) so your car won’t hit them.The cars in 2 500 don’t fly,for we haven’t got that technology yet,but they can hover(盘旋) up to seven feet.These cars are made for speed!
—Carly
Instead of cars,we may have hovering devices that float around.We could also have electric cars instead of gas-powered cars.Food might be more healthy.What I believe is that the environment will change the most.The environmental changes will also determine many other changes.If more people try to help the environment,then perhaps in 2 500 we will have more forests and wildlife.If people won’t help the environment,then we will have no forests and little wildlife left.—Roberta
1.According to Kristen,what will happen in 2500?
A.English will be the main subject at school.
B.Students can go to the moon every week.
C.Cafeteria will replace other restaurants.
D.AIDS and cancer will disappear.
2.The underlined word “scan” in the text could be replaced by “________”.
A.change B.treat
C.examine D.improve
3.Morgan thinks his work in the pet store is________.
A.difficult B.meaningless
C.important D.easy
4.Who mainly tells the reader of the cars in 2500?
A.Kristen. B.Morgan.
C.Carly. D.Roberta.

Jimmy is an automotive mechanic,but he lost his job a few months ago.He has a good heart,but always feared applying for a new job.
One day,he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview.His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8∶30.While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed,he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car.Obviously there was something wrong with the car.Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand.When Jimmy finished working on the car,the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service.Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need,and he had to rush for an interview.Then the old man said,“Well,I could take you to the office for your interview.It’s the least I could do.Please,I insist.” Jimmy agreed.
Upon arrival,Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed.Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair,but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt.One by one,the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed looks on their faces.Finally his name was called.The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window.Rocking the chair back and forth,he asked,“Do you really need to be interviewed？” Jimmy’s heart sank.“With the way I look now,how could I possibly pass this interview？” he thought to himself.
Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise,it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning.It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.
“Sorry I had to keep you waiting,but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office.I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker.Congratulations！” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.
5.Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?
A.He was out of work.
B.He was bored with his job.
C.He wanted a higher position.
D.He hoped to find a better boss.
6.What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview?
A.A friend’s car had a flat tyre.
B.A wild man was pushing a car.
C.A terrible car accident happened.
D.An old man’s car broke down.
7.Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride?
A.He was also to be interviewed.
B.He needed a travelling companion.
C.He always helped people in need.
D.He was thankful to Jimmy.
8.What can we learn from Jimmy’s experience?

The World Health Organization says obesity rates(肥胖率) are rising in Pacific island countries.So are health problems linked to being overweight.The WHO says a major reason for the rising obesity rates is an increase in imported foods(进口食品).It says many Pacific islanders have replaced their traditional diets of vegetables and fruits with imported processed foods.
Dr.Waqanivalu is with the WHO’s South Pacific office in Suva,Fiji.He says many of the imported products lack nutritional value(缺少营养价值).But they are widely available,he says,and often cost less than healthier foods.“In some of the places,you’d be amazed to see how a bottle of Coke is cheaper than a bottle of water.I think that represents the kind of off-environment we’ve created that doesn’t really encourage or make lifestyle choices an easy choice for the population.” he said.
However,the increase in imported foods is only part of the problem.Problems with agriculture production limit the availability of healthier foods.And a lack of physical activity among many Pacific islanders only adds to the obesity problem.
The WHO says more than fifty percent of the population is overweight in at least ten Pacific island countries.The rate is as high as eighty percent among women in the field of American Samoa.It is estimated(估计) that about forty percent of them have health problems related to diet and nutrition.As a result,many people die very young because of problems caused by being overweight.
Officials also note an increase in nutritional problems like anemia(贫血) and not enough vitamin A in the diets of Pacific islanders.Dr.Waqanivalu says treating conditions related to obesity and diet put pressure on limited health resources and budgets,which will make the problem worse.So this problem should get the attention they deserve.
1.What is mainly discussed in the passage?
A.Health problems pointed out by the WHO.
B.Export and import in Pacific island countries.
C.Importing fruits from Pacific island countries.
D.Why obesity rates rise in Pacific island countries.
2.According to the passage,people on the Pacific islands tend to eat________.
A.fruits B.vegetables
C.imported foods D.Coke
3.Dr.Waqanivalu thinks that________.
A.water on the Pacific islands is very expensive
B.the Pacific islanders choose an unhealthy lifestyle
C.imported products have caused environmental pollution
D.imported foods offer plenty of nutrition for Pacific islanders
4. We know from the last two paragraphs that________.
A.the WHO will ban the Pacific islanders from importing food
B.the problem of being overweight is becoming very serious
C.officials will add more vitamin A to the food of Pacific islanders
D.governments have done nothing to handle obesity on Pacific islands

__1__ Being angry doesn’t really solve much,but what people do when they feel angry is important.The goal is to calm down and try to solve what is bothering you.This is hard for some kids and adults,too.Instead of calming down,some kids might keep getting more and more upset until they explode like a volcano!
__2__ Their anger might be so strong that they lose control of their temper.They may act in ways unacceptable and hurtful.People may say that someone has trouble controlling their temper.__3__
Some kids might get so angry that they scream at their parents,break something,or even worse,hit their brothers or sisters.__4__ However,it’s not OK for a kid to do any of those things.Kids don’t want to act in this way,but sometimes angry feelings can be hard to manage.So what to do?
Well,the good news is that kids don’t just have to keep making the same mistakes over and over again.__5__ Imagine your temper as a puppy inside you that needs some training.The puppy is not bad—it will probably turn out a great dog.It just needs to learn some rules because,right now,that puppy is causing some problems to you.
A.You can train your temper.
B.You don’t want to cause trouble.
C.Kids should be allowed to express their feelings,even angry ones.
D.Everybody gets angry sometimes.
E.In fact,they usually mean that a kid behaves badly when feeling angry.
F.Instead of thinking of the person you’re angry with,think of something else.
G.Some kids get angry more often or more easily than some other kids.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。
A
By now,most people have heard about the importance of replacing the use of fossil fuels(矿物燃料).One of the most common renewable energy sources that people can get for family use is solar energy(太阳能).If you’re not sure what solar energy is all about,here are a few of the basics to get you up_to_speed.
The many different technologies are designed to take energy from the sun and change it into energy to provide heating,cooling,electricity,and more.Technologies to convert(转变) this energy include things such as solar hot water,solar electricity,lighting systems,and space heating systems.One of the main reasons most people want to use solar energy is for the savings.The use of these technologies can save money on monthly bills by powering your electricity through the sun’s energy instead of buying energy from fossil fuels.If you live in a sunny area and you do not use all the energy a solar system produces,you could even make a little money by selling the extra energy to those who need it.
Renewable energy will also give you a more stable price for your monthly bills.For most people,the cost of energy has gone up over the past few years,and there are not many signs it will go down any time soon.People who buy or lease(租用) a solar system can take control of their costs and not be at the mercy of(在……支配下) the continually rising prices.The high cost of fixing solar equipment at home is the main reason why most people have not been able to use this type of renewable energy,but there are ways to lower the expenses.Solar leasing is a good choice；you can pay a monthly lease fee instead of buying the solar equipment.So,if you haven’t fixed it,take one now.Some companies also offer money to help those people that can’t afford to buy or lease the entire solar system.
The savings that you will see on your monthly bills make going “green” good for your wallet as well as the environment.
56.At present most people know it is important to________.
A.discover more and more fossil fuels
B.save solar energy as much as possible
C.use other energy to replace fossil fuels
D.use solar energy instead of using any fossil fuel
57.What does the underlined phrase “up to speed” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.To reach the fastest speed.
B.To realize the planned goal.
C.To help finish the new task.
D.To learn about something new.
58.What is one of the main reasons why people use solar energy?
A.Making money.
B.Saving money.
C.Preventing power failure.
D.Providing enough electricity.
59.We can learn from this passage that________.
A.some poor people are helped to fix the solar system financially
B.the cost of energy will go down sometime in the future
C.fixing a solar system is affordable for most people
D.the energy a solar system produces is too much to be used up
B
Studies show that children who have breakfast do better in school.It doesn’t take much further thought to know that adults will feel better and perform better at work as well.Whether you work at home,on the farm,in the office,at school,or on the road,it is not a good idea to skip breakfast.
If we skip breakfast,we are likely to become tired when our brains and bodies run low on fuel.By mid-morning,a lot of us grab a cup of coffee or wolf down a sugary candy bar to wake up again.This might work for a few minutes.Having_a_good_breakfast_sets_the_tone_for_the_rest_
of_the_day.
Skipping breakfast is a common strategy for losing weight,but not a smart one.Many people believe that they will lose weight if they skip meals,but that just isn’t true；the body expects to be refueled a few times a day,starting with a healthy breakfast.Having breakfast is good for weight loss.In fact,people who have breakfast are more likely to keep a healthy weight.
A healthy breakfast should contain some protein(蛋白质) and some fiber(纤维).Protein can come from low fat meat,eggs,beans,or soy.Fiber can be found in whole grains,vegetables and fruits.A good example of a healthy breakfast might be something simple like a boiled egg,an orange,and a bowl of whole grain cereal with low-fat milk.Stay away from the sugary cereals,syrup(糖浆),pastries(油酥糕点),and white bread because they are digested(消化) quickly and will leave you hungry and tired in a couple of hours.Protein and fiber satisfy your hunger and will keep you feeling full until lunch time.
60.The first paragraph mainly tells us that________.
A.more children go to school without breakfast
B.more adults are too busy to have breakfast every day
C.less adults go to work without having breakfast
D.it is necessary to have a good breakfast every day
61.We feel tired at work probably because________.
A.we don’t have a good breakfast
B.we need to have a cup of coffee
C.our brains doesn’t work any longer
D.we don’t have enough sleep at night
62.The underlined sentence “Having a good breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day.” in Paragraph 2 means “________”.
A.having a good breakfast can help you to finish your work
B.having a good breakfast is enough for the whole day
C.breakfast is really the most important meal in a day
D.you will be happier if you have a good breakfast
63.We can learn from the last paragraph that________.
A.it is healthy only to have beans and eggs for your breakfast
B.you mustn’t have meat for your breakfast in the morning
C.you should eat something including protein and fiber for breakfast
D.you should have more sugary food if you feel hungry
C
Sometimes our inner darkness leads us to do things that affect the world in a positive way.Once upon a time there lived a woman who had a bad temper.She shouted at everyone around her.For most of her life she believed it was everyone else’s mistake.
She went to see a well-respected Buddhist monk(和尚) to ask for advice.The monk said,“It’s hot outside,and that’s a busy road with lots of passers-by.When a passer-by passes,you must offer him a glass of water.Do this until there is no anger left inside you.”
So she stood outside with a water jug and served water to passers-by every day for the next several weeks.And every morning she asked herself if she would still be angry.And every morning the answer was,“yes.” So she continued serving water.Until this afternoon when a man walked up,snatched(抢) the water jug out of her hand,drank directly out of it,and then threw the jug on the ground as he continued on his way.
Unable to contain herself,the woman picked up the jug off the ground and,with all her might,threw it at the man as he walked away.It was a direct hit.The jug broke into pieces over the back of his head and he fell to the ground,unconscious and bleeding(出血并失去知觉).
As the woman calmed down,she realized what she had done and began to cry.She used a payphone to call 911 and report the incident.An ambulance and two police cars arrived at the scene moments later.As the doctors carried the man onto the ambulance,the police handcuffed(戴手铐) his arms and legs.Then one of the police officers walked over to the woman,who was still crying,and said,“The city owes you a big ‘thank you’.That man has been on our most wanted list for over a year now.He is a primary suspect(主要嫌疑人) in multiple murder cases.”
64.Why did the woman go to see the monk and ask for advice?
A.Because she had a bad temper.
B.Because she respected Buddhism.
C.Because she also wanted to be a monk.
D.Because she wanted to do something good.
65.The monk asked the woman to________.
A.shout at everyone around her
B.offer every passer-by a glass of water
C.beat the rude man who snatched the water jug
D.use a payphone to call 911 and report the incident
66.The woman hit the man on the back of his head because the man was________.
A.a monk B.a murderer
C.a passer-by D.a rude man
67.According to the passage,we can infer that________.
A.the man just wanted to test her
B.the woman would regret for doing it
C.the woman had done a good deed
D.the woman’s temper would get better
D
There are plenty of possible reasons why you don’t have any flowers near you.Perhaps,you just don’t like them.Or maybe someone nearby doesn’t.Maybe you’re at work,and flowers are not allowed.Assuming the problem is simple that you don’t have time to go out and get flowers,you may be surprised to learn just how easy it actually is.
It’s good to get flowers for yourself,but even better to be given them.I’m sure you know this,just as I’m sure there’s someone special in your life who feels the same way.So why not take the chance to make someone happy,and get them some flowers？I know you would,but there is just too much trouble.Well,you’re wrong!
It’s a good excuse,and while it might have worked in the past,I’m afraid it doesn’t work any more.Perhaps you really are too busy to go into town and get some flowers.On the other hand,the fact that you are reading this clearly shows that you have enough time to go online.At this point,you can buy pretty well anything online,and that includes flowers.By the way,there’s another point to consider here—price.I’m sure you’ve noticed that you can usually get things cheaper if you buy online,and flowers are no exception.For the same price as a few roses,you could have a full bouquet of flowers picked and arranged by an expert.
So why are you still here？Go online,and hunt down some flowers！There are plenty of florists available,and you should have no trouble finding one that is near you,especially if you live in a city or large town.Then you’re just a few clicks away from a beautiful bouquet.
68.This passage is mainly to tell us that________.
A.there are few flowers around us now
B.flowers are not allowed at workplace
C.people don’t like flowers any longer
D.how we can get flowers when busy
69.You can make yourself and others happy by________.
A.giving flowers B.accepting flowers
C.getting flowers D.helping others
70.From the third paragraph we can know that________.
A.we can get flowers with the help of the Internet
B.it is very difficult for us to get more flowers
C.all of us used to be very busy with our work
D.you are able to buy whatever you want online

Sometimes I dream of life in the future.What will it be like？Perhaps some people will go to the moon for a holiday，and some scientists will live under the sea.Maybe we will have videophones in our homes，through which we can have a medical examination or do some shopping without leaving our homes.
And now I make sure there’ll be more educational programmes on the radio or TV，so perhaps some children won’t need to go to school every day.They will study at home.
Maybe in the future each family will have a robot who will do what we tell them to do such as shopping，housework and so on.I believe the dream will come true some day.
