People have told stories about Robin Hood for over 700 years. Nobody knows if he was a real person or an invented character. In the legends, Robin was extremely smart and humorous, he helped strangers, and later his kindness paid off.
The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood appeared in 1883. It was Howard Pyle’s first book and it was a great success.
At the beginning of the story, Robin was just a young man, who was good at archery (射箭术). One day he was walking through Sherwood Forest, a royal hunting forest near Nottingham in England. There he got into trouble with a group of men. Among them, he killed the cousin of the Sheriff (郡长) of Nottingham. Robin became a legendary outlaw, and soon the leader of one hundred outlaws, known as his “Merry Men”.
Robin and his “Merry Men” always looked for rich people and asked them to their camp in Sherwood Forest. When they arrived, Robin gave them a good meal and played music for them. Then he took their gold away to help the poor. Robin became most famous for “robbing from the rich and giving to the poor”.
The Sheriff of Nottingham was Robin’s greatest enemy. He was cruel and treated the poor badly. It was his job to keep the woods safe and to make sure that nobody stole the king’s deer. He hated Robin because Robin was an outlaw. But most of all, he hated Robin because everyone else loved him. The Sheriff of Nottingham kept trying to catch Robin Hood and his “Merry Men”, but never succeeded.

When punctuation（标点） began, it was mainly to help people read out loud. Until a few hundred years ago, not many people were taught to read, so there was a lot more reading out loud by the few people who could.
To help those reading out loud in the old days, sign（符号） known as “points” were added to pages of writing. Punctuation comes from the Latin word punctus, meaning “point”. These points told readers when to pause（暂停） or take a breath, and what to emphasize（加重）.
In Europe from the early centuries AD, these points were widely used although not everybody used the same points for the same thing. When printing was invented, printers had to be made more clearly about what to put where, so that everyone was doing the same thing. Since that point, all sorts of punctuation rules have been discovered and invented.
Speech marks “...”
Speech marks or quotation marks are used to show that someone is speaking. The sort we have in English today began to be widely used during the 18th century. Before that readers simply understood from the way a sentence was written that someone was speaking although sometimes spoken words were underlined.
Comma , colon: period（full stop）.
All three of these sorts of punctuation marks were given their Greek names by Aristophanes, a librarian who lived in Byzantium in the 2nd century BC． They were marks on the page, each with a message to the ma meant a short pause. Colon meant a medium（中等的） sized pause. Period meant a long pause.
Exclamation mark！
In the early days of punctuation, if you saw this sign, you were supposed to pause. Some people think the exclamation mark began as what the Greek word IO looked like if it was turned 90 degrees. This word means “Oh, gosh!” With the I on the top and the O under it, the sign as we know it today was developed.
Question mark
In the middle age, a squiggle（圆弧） above a full stop was sometimes used to show the sentence was a question and that a person’s voice should go up at the end. By the 17th century it had turned into what we call a question mark. The shape may have come from the letter Q short for that Latin quaestio, meaning “question”.
Writers make choices about punctuation because they think differently about sentences and words. It’s part of the personality of their writing. Some writers hate punctuation, but others love punctuation. So whether you love or hate punctuation, the best advice may be to just enjoy it, play with it, think about it and use it. It belongs（属于） to the language and it belongs to you.
6．When did punctuation begin to be widely used, according to the passage
A．In the 17th century. B．In the 2nd century BC．
C．In the 18th century. D．In the early centuries AD．
7．All punctuation rules were discovered and invented in order to ________.

C．guide the way of writing D．mention the spoken words
8．Which of the following is true
A．A long pause comes after question mark.
B．Speech marks were named by a librarian.
C．Question mark comes from a Latin word.
D．The shape of a word makes exclamation mark.
9．What’s the problem about punctuation today
A．People have completely different ideas about it.
B．Not many people are taught to use it correctly.
C．It has different meanings to different people.
D．Sometimes spoken words must be underlined.
Where in the world can you take an hour's train ride, and pass a forest, a London street, a scene from the Wild West, and a burning building that never burns down There's only one place, and that's Hollywood, in California. The scenes you see from the tourist train are film sets（布景） in the Universal Studios, one of the oldest and largest movie companies in the USA．
A visit to Universal Studios brings back memories of great days of Hollywood, the films and the stars. But they are only memories. Hollywood isn't quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas. Instead, they repeat old ones.
The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers still go out to the movies. The theatre is a good place to meet friends away from home. But older people mostly stay home to watch series, like Dynasty have become as important to Hollywood as expensive movies. These “soap opera”, as they are called, show rich, powerful families living in beautiful homes and wearing beautiful clothes. But the actors and actresses are nearly all middle-aged, like many of the people who watch them.
Though it is soap operas that are keeping the film-makers of Hollywood in Business, big films are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new center, but there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they don't need Hollywood any more. Modern cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better working conditions and lower cost. But Hollywood is fighting back. The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry.
10．From the passage, we know Universal Studios is ________.
A．a very large park
B．a busy London street
C．a famous movie company

12．What can we learn about “soap operas” from the passage
A．They are teenagers’ favourites.
B．They are much more expensive.
C．They are less attractive.
D．They are cheaper and easier to make.
13．The passage mainly tells us ________.
A．something about the film industry in the USA

Do you play an instrument Have you ever made one Terje Isungset can answer yes to both questions. And he makes instruments out of something pretty cool. Ice!
Isungset got the idea for ice music more than 20 years ago. “I was asked to do a concert in a frozen water fall,” he says. This gave him the idea to play instruments that were actually made out of ice. As far as he could tell, this hadn’t been done before. “There were no books to read about it—nothing on the Internet,” he says. “So I had to create everything by myself.”
In 2006, Isungset helped start the Ice Music Festival. It is held in February. Almost everything at the Ice Music Festival is frozen. “As you can imagine, there are a lot of logistics in doing an ice concert,” Isungset says. “We come to a place, we collect the ice, and we build the concert space out of snow and ice.”
For the festival Isungset has a goal of trying to invent a new instrument every year. He is going to play an ice horn(喇叭)this year. “Would your mouth stick to it Many people ask that question,” Isungset says. “If the horn was made out of metal(金属), it would get stuck completely.” His solution Use a small piece of leather(皮革). Place it on the horn’s mouthpiece. “It’s the only part of my instrument that is not made of ice.”
14．What are Terje Isungset’s new instruments mainly made of
A．Ice. B．Paper. C．Metal. D．Leather.
15．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A．Where Terje Isungset gave his first concert.
B．When Terje Isungset fell in love with music.
C．Why Terje Isungset liked reading on the Internet.
D．How Terje Isungset got to make new instruments.
16．What does he underlined word “logistics” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．规章制度 B．阻碍 C．后勤工作 D．质疑
17．Which of the following best describes Terje Isungset
A．Humorous. B．Creative. C．Honest. D．Responsible.
When a cake is brought to the table at a birthday party, it is usually decorated with candles. It is said that the tradition of lighting birthday candles was invented by the ancient Greeks; it has taken on different meanings through the years. Today, one of the most popular birthday traditions is to blow out the candles all at once to make a secret wish come true.
In order to please Artemis, the goddess of the moon, the ancient Greeks arranged something special for birthdays. A moon-shaped cake was baked and decorated with lit candles. They thought the smoke from the candles would carry an offering(祭品) up into the sky, where they believed Artemis lived.
The tradition of lighting birthday candles continued in Europe, where candles were sometimes kept burning all day on a person’s birthday, partly as celebration and partly to keep away evil spirits. It was believed that the blowing out of candles represented one’s prayers(祈祷) to the gods. Some cultures believe it is a bad luck to blow out the candles until after the evening meal is eaten.
Traditionally, one candle represents a year of the person’s age. Some families prefer to add an extra candle for good luck. But that practice is improper when a very young child is celebrating a third birthday. Generally, older people’s birthdays are celebrated by placing just a few candles to represent, such as an eight for 80th birthday.
Today’s birthday candles are made in different shapes, like animals or flowers. One or two candles in the shape of numbers are sometimes used instead of lots of candles; for example, a four-shaped and a zero-shaped candle would represent 40.
18．Why did the ancient Greeks arrange something special for birthdays
A．To make their dreams come true.
B．To celebrate a person’s birthday.
C．To protect themselves from evil spirits.
D．To please the goddess of the moon.
19．What is the tradition of lighting candles for birthdays like in Europe
A．The candles were always kept burning all day on a person’s birthday.
B．The blowing out of candles represented one’s prayers to the god.
C．Some cultures believe it is right to blow out the candles before the evening meal.
D．The Europeans sometimes keep burning the candles all day just as a celebration.
20．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs
A．In some families, people would add an extra candle without any special meaning.
B．It is common to see a cake with four candles on a three-year-old child’s birthday.
C．Traditionally, people can use an eight-shaped and a zero-shaped candle to represent 80.
D．Usually one candle is placed on a cake for each year of the person’s age.

Once upon a time，a hippo （河马）lived in a river next to a big tree．
One day，a bird came and nested （筑巢）in the tree．The songs of the bird filled the hippo with so much envy （羡慕）that he couldn’t think of anything else．Every day he would think why he wasn’t born to be a bird even though the bird told him many times he was so lucky to be so big and such a good swimmer．
Finally，the hippo made up his mind that he would come out of the river，climb the tree and start singing．However，when he tried to climb the tree，it was very clear that the hippo didn’t have wings，nor claws to climb with．
Realizing that he would never climb up the tree，he angrily hit the tree until it came crashing to the ground．Then he stepped onto the leaves of the fallen tree，and began singing．
Unfortunately，hippos can’t sing，either．All that came from his mouth were terrible noises，and when the other animals heard this，they all came around to make fun of the hippo．

An old gentleman whose eyesight (视力) was falling came to stay in a hotel room with a bottle of wine (酒) in each hand. On the wall there was a fly which he took for a nail (钉子). So as soon as he hung them on, the bottles fell broken and the wine split all over the floor.
When a waitress discovered what had happened, she felt really sorry for him and wanted to give him a hand.
So the next morning when he was out taking a walk in the garden, she put a nail on the wall exactly where the fly had stayed.

Who wants to carry a bulky bag to school No children. Nobody wants one shoulder to be lower than the other, and paining（疼痛）too. In India, most of us would look at the reduction（减少）of textbooks as a way out. But in a country like America, there are always more choices. A company called goReader has created a "school bag" which is the size of a laptop computer（笔记本电脑）, weighing about 2.5 kg. The goReader has a color screen and can "hold" all the textbooks that a student may need, says a report in 'The Asian Age' newspaper.
The company plans to work closely with the publishers（出版商） of textbooks so that these books can be supplied on the Internet. All the students will have to do is to download（下载） their textbooks. Making notes and marking important parts of a lesson can be done just as lots of students have done on their textbooks before.
At present, the plan is being tested out in a university. Richard Katzmann, the owner of the company is having his creation tested at Chicago's DePaul University, where he studied. Does that mean it is goodbye to the new paper, and the smell of the black ink

Why is setting goals important Because goals can help you do, be and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow yourself to make your life happen.
Successful and happy people imagine how their life should be and they set lots of goals. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It's like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind(her goal) which is laid out for her on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver. But she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas and oil. Which driver do you want to be
Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren't difficult to set, and they aren't difficult to reach. It's up to you to find out what your goals really are. You are the one who must decide what to achieve and at what direction to aim your life.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly(有规律地), and have more power. Like a contract(合同)with yourself, they are harder to forget. Also when you write your goals in a specific way you are able to make yourself always aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goals.
46．The writer gave the example of two drivers to show .
A．the importance of setting goals
B．the foolishness of the second driver
C．the importance of having a map

A young painter lived in a small narrow house, living on painting portraits before he became famous.
One day, a rich man came by and found the painter’s painting so carefully that he liked it and asked him to draw a portrait. They agreed on the fee of 10,000 dollars.
After a week, the portrait was done. The rich man came to take the painting as agreed on. At this moment, the rich man came up with an evil idea of bullying (欺负) the unknown young artist, so he refused to pay him. The rich man thought to himself, “the man in the painting is me. If I do not buy it, no one will do that. Why should I pay so much money for it ” So the rich man said, “You will only get 3,000 dollars.”
The young artist was surprised, for he had never come across such things. He stuck to the former price. “If you break your words today and someday you must pay 20 times!”

The rich man knew the reason without a second thought. He went to the young painter immediately. As expected, Thief was just the portrait of himself years ago. He quickly apologized to the artist and paid 200,000 dollars for it.
With an undefeated ambition, the young painter made the rich man bend his head. This young man was Pablo Picasso.
55．Why did the rich man change his mind to pay only 3,000 dollars

The Guidance Department(教导处)at Berryville High School has a staff(员工) of eleven teachers. Most of their work is done with the students. But the staff sees a lot of parents, too.
“Parents meetings make clear monthly diagram( 图表) ,” says Mildred Foreman, head of the Guidance. "The diagram stays much the same from year to year. The busy months are October, March and May."
September, the beginning of a new school year, starts rather slowly. Few parents come in. Most of these want to talk about the schedules( 日程安排 ). October brings many problems caused by some students. Some parents are called in. Others come by themselves. Things quiet down in November. December is a quiet month.
"It's the holiday. "Ms. Foreman says, "People want to come in, I know, but they decide to wait until after New Year's Day."
Report cards go home just before Christmas holidays. Bad marks bring parents in as school opens again. This happens again in March, another report card month. May is always the year's busiest month. That's when parents begin to think that their children may be asked to stay in the same grade again. They come in to see if anything can be done before things are decided in June.
72．In December parents usually .
A．stay at home with their children for their holidays
B．wait for the teachers to bring report cards to their children

D．let teachers have a good rest during their holidays

74．—Why do some parents come to school in March —Because .

Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost mention recycling. Recycling in the homes is very important. However, having to recycle often means we already have more products than we need. We are just dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way, but it would be much better if we did not bring so many goods home.
The total amount of packaging（外包装） has increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It is 1/3 of a home’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets, food products are packaged twice with plastic and paper. Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of land because of this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Besides, the plastic from the package puts some creatures in danger, especially birds and fish.
Recycling helps, but the recycling itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such waste in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, few of them have the idea that this cannot continue. For example, supermarkets should encourage customers to reuse their plastic bags.
But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have been used to the idea that packaging means excellence while anything unpackaged is of poor condition. This is especially true of food. But this idea has spread to other products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.
There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how many unnecessary goods are collected. We need to face the waste of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.
76．What does the underlined word “over-consumption” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A．Using too much packaging.
B．Recycling too many wastes.
C．Buying more products than needed.
D．Making more products than necessary.
77．Which of the following damage of over packaging is NOT mentioned
A．It may waste land.
B．It may pollute the food.
C．It may do harm to the living things.
D．It may make the green house effect worse.
78．According to the passage, which of the following is true about recycling
A．It leads to a waste of land.
B．It means burning packaging for energy.
C．It is the only solution to the greenhouse effect.
D．It helps reduce the harm caused by too much packaging.
79．Why do people prefer packaged products
A．Supermarkets encourage them.
B．People care more about packaging.
C．It is necessary for all the products to have package.
D．People think unpackaged products are of poor condition.
80．What does the writer tell us in the last paragraph
A．Fighting waste is difficult.
B．People don’t waste any more.
C．People only recycle necessary goods now.
D．We should continue our consumer culture.
You may have heard of people who are allergic(过敏)to seafood, smoke or pets. But did you know that some people were allergic to Wi-Fi signals(信号)
Rose White, a 44-year-old woman from Britain, first found herself being allergic to Wi-Fi signals in 2015. She had a cough, heart trouble and great pains in her head when she stayed at the places covered with Wi-Fi signals.
Rose has tried many ways to keep away from Wi-Fi signals. In the past six months, she either slept in her car or in tent which she had put up in the woodland and in the fields. She even tried sleeping in a shed(棚子). Being completely tired, Rose had no choice but to quit her job and moved 370 kilometers away from her home to avoid Wi-Fi signals, but failed. Because of the hard life, she got a stomach problem.
She is now living in a small house in the rural(乡下的) area in England. There are far fewer Wi-Fi signals. However, the house, which belongs to her friend, will be sold to others, so she has to move again soon. Rose is planning to move to a more rural area. She is also planning to buy a camper van(野营车) so that she can drive away from Wi-Fi signals whenever she is feeling uncomfortable. As she can not work to make money, she has to raise money online. She is hoping to raise 15,000 pounds. So far, she has raised over 1,600 pounds. She still has a long way to go.
81．What did Rose do to keep away from Wi-Fi signals
A．She slept in tent in the woodland.
B．She bought a small house in the countryside.
C．She moved to a more rural area.
D．She bought a camper van.
82．What does the underlined word “quit” in paragraph 3 mean
A．leave B．begin C．change D．continue
83．Why does she have to move again soon
A．Because the place she lives in is near the Wi-Fi signals.
B．Because her friend decided to sell the house.
C．Because she wants to move to a new place.
D．Because she tries to find a job in the more rural area.
84．What does the sentence “She still has a long way to go.” in the last paragraph refer to(指的是)
A．She will live long.
B．It’s not easy for her to raise enough money.
C．There will be a lot of difficulties for her to deal with.
D．It’s difficult for her to find a place without Wi-Fi signals.
Koala Joey
Far away in Australia, a koala sits high in a eucalyptus tree. She grips a branch with the rough pads and sharp claws on her paws. In her pouch (小袋) she hides something special—her baby.
At birth the baby koala, called a joey, does not look like his furry mom. He is pink and bald（无毛的）and as small as a jellybean. Although he cannot see, he moves his legs and crawls. He smells milk and, without any help, starts to feel his way to his mother’s pouch. Five minutes later he slips (滑) inside.
Inside the pouch, the joey drinks his mother’s milk and grows. His eyes open. His ears form, and he hears his mother’s calls. Soon thick fur covers his body. By the time the joey is ready to explore the world, he looks like his mother.
At five months old, the joey peers out of his pouch. He eats a special soft food from his mother called pap. When the joey eats pap, he gets bacteria（细菌）from his mother’s stomach in his turnmy too. He will need the bacteria to eat eucalyptus leaves, like grownup koalas do.
In another month, the joey leaves the pouch for the first time. He clings（贴着）to his mother’s belly while she climbs in the treetops. By the time he is eight months old, the joey no longer fits in his mother’s pouch. But he still drinks her milk.
Now, for a few hours each night, the joey climbs on his mother’s back for a ride. While riding piggyback, he reaches for eucalyptus leaves. Just like mom, he nips (咬) off leaves and chews them. The leaves have plenty of water in them, so koalas rarely go to the ground for a drink. When the joey is about one year old, his piggyback days are over. Now he climbs to the treetops by himself. On each of his front paws, he has two thumbs opposite his three fingers. He can grip branches and grab leaves.
The young koala spends more and more time away from his mother. He no longer drinks her milk. He dozes (打瞌睡，打盹) alone on tree branches. Soon he will move to another tree and live on his own.
85．When a joey is eight months old, it can _________.
A．eats a food called pap
B．rides on his mother’s back
C．sleeps on tree branches
D．clings to his mother’s belly
86．A joey stops drinking its mother’s milk when it is about_______.

C．eight months old D．five months old
