Road Trip Apps You Need Before You Leave
Best App for Route Planning
Ever wonder how delivery drivers manage to hit so many different places in a relatively short amount of time It’s because they’re using an app like Road Warrior to plan their routes to be as efficient as possible. However, while many other route planning apps only take things like traffic into account, Road Warrior includes lots of other time-sucking details. The subscription (订购) options start at $10 per month.
Best App for Gas Prices
Gas prices have been something of a catastrophe (灾难) recently, so travelers are naturally focused on finding the lowest rates whenever possible. Gas Buddy is one of the most popular apps for locating affordable gas, especially on long road trips. Simply enter the starting point and destination, and then watch as all of the cheapest gas prices along your route appear suddenly. Like many apps, there is a free version (版本), as well as a premium (额外) option with added features.
Best App for Planning Sightseeing
For people who aren’t totally focused on getting from point A to point B in the fastest time possible, the Road Trippers app is a must-have. Users can plan their trip from start to finish with as many as 150 waypoints/stops when using the premium version of the app, which costs $29.99 per year. It won’t let you miss the famous sights along the way. It estimates fuel costs, allows for RV drivers to customize (定制) routes friendly to their particular vehicle and lets the user cooperate with friends who are also on the road.
Best App for Family Games and Entertainment
Sure you could listen to music or watch movies, but sometimes it’s fun to throw it way back with classic travel games. The Plates Family Travel app is a modernized version of the classic license plate (车牌) game. There’s also a map feature that shows you exactly where you saw all the license plates on your road trip. This app is available for Apple or Google devices for free.

When Marybeth Hearn was 10 years old, she asked her parents to let her train a dog to become a guide dog. It turned into a lifelong thing. Over more than fifty years, Hearn has raised 56 dogs to help visually impaired (视力受损的) people. But her influence doesn’t end there — the longtime high school teacher has encouraged several of her family members and some of her students to train many more.
When she looked to her parents for support years ago, things were different from what she expected. Her mom didn’t like dogs, and her dad doubted she would be able to find any money to pay for the cost of the training. However, Hearn presented the project at a Lions Club and raised $2, 500. So on a sunny summer day in 1962, the family drove home with a black Lab named Letta, the first of a long series of dog trainees.
Two sons and a granddaughter have followed in Hearn’s footsteps, but her greatest influence has come from guiding student trainers, who since 1992 have worked through a school club with 170 dogs that ended up in different service posts. They spend 14 months with each dog teaching them skills. The dogs live full-time with the students, attending their classes and field trips to become socialized.
The dogs then go to trainers employed by Guide Dogs for the Blind, an organization that partners with the program, before graduating and being paired with two-legged companions. Those that aren’t up to the difficult task of helping the blind can become other kinds of service animals. Often students attend the graduations and help pass the dogs on.
“I love seeing the look on kids’ faces ... when they get to see that dog again after three or four months and the dog remembers them,” Hearn said. “It’s a great feeling.”
4. What has Hearn done since she was a child
A. She has collected money for the blind.
B. She has trained dogs to help the blind.
C. She has petted and cared for many homeless dogs.
D. She has provided the blind with education for free.
5. What was the attitude of Hearn’s dad towards her plan
A. Mad. B. Uncaring. C. Unacceptable. D. Supportive.
6. If a dog fails to help the blind after graduation, it will _____.
A. continue to be trained
B. be taken away as a pet
C. live full-time with Hearn’s students
D. become another kind of service animal
7. Which of the following can best describe Hearn
A. Honest and hard-working.
B. Strong-minded and caring.
C. Outgoing and careful.
D. Strict and creative.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。Marybeth Hearn几十年如一日训练导盲犬来帮助有视觉障碍的人群，影响了周围很多人。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When Marybeth Hearn was 10 years old, she asked her parents to let her train a dog to become a guide dog. It turned into a lifelong thing. Over more than fifty years, Hearn has raised 56 dogs to help visually impaired (视力受损的) people. ( 当玛丽贝斯·赫恩10岁的时候，她请求父母让她训练一只狗成为导盲犬。这变成了一件终生的事情。在50多年的时间里，赫恩已经养了56只狗来帮助视障人士。)”可知，Hearn从小就开始帮助有视觉障碍的人群训练导盲犬。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“When she looked to her parents for support years ago, things were different from what she expected. Her mom didn’t like dogs, and her dad doubted she would be able to find any money to pay for the cost of the training. ( 几年前，当她向父母寻求支持时，情况与她所期望的不同。她的妈妈不喜欢狗，她的爸爸怀疑她是否能找到钱来支付训练的费用。)”可知，她的父亲最初对她的计划表示怀疑，不接受。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Those that aren’t up to the difficult task of helping the blind can become other kinds of service animals. (那些不能胜任帮助盲人这项艰巨任务的动物可以成为其他类型的服务性动物。)”可知，未通过考核的狗将成为其他类别的服务犬。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Over more than fifty years, Hearn has raised 56 dogs to help visually impaired (视力受损的) people. (在50多年的时间里，赫恩已经养了56只狗来帮助视障人士。)”和第二段的“When she looked to her parents for support years ago, things were different from what she expected. Her mom didn’t like dogs, and her dad doubted she would be able to find any money to pay for the cost of the training. However, Hearn presented the project at a Lions Club and raised $2, 500. ( 几年前，当她向父母寻求支持时，情况与她所期望的不同。她的妈妈不喜欢狗，她的爸爸怀疑她是否能找到钱来支付训练的费用。然而，赫恩在一个狮子俱乐部展示了这个项目，并筹集了2500美元。)”以及第三段的“Two sons and a granddaughter have followed in Hearn’s footsteps, but her greatest influence has come from guiding student trainers ( 两个儿子和一个孙女都继承了赫恩的足迹，但她最大的影响来自于指导学生训练员)”可知，Marybeth Hearn从小立志训练导盲犬帮助盲人。当初虽未得到父母的支持，但是她凭借自己的努力寻求到了赞助。她的行为影响了周围的好多人。由此可知，Hearn是一个意志坚定、关心他人的人。故选B。

Picture this: two new kids show up at school one day. One is dressed in sport trousers and a dirty T-shirt. The other looks like someone out of a fashion magazine. Which one is more likely to make friends on their first day
Everybody knows the saying “Don’t judge a book by its cover”. But let’s not pretend that style isn’t important. Other people pay attention to how you look. They are much more likely to like you if you are well-dressed. What’s more, when we look good, we feel more confident in ourselves.
You may think you have to wear a school uniform. That’s true, but there are still plenty of chances for you to show your style.
Put on your favourite dress and you will feel more outgoing and energetic. Wear something you don’t like, and see how much you feel like talking to someone you are fond of. Put on a nice suit like one that celebrities might wear and watch your posture change. Roll out of bed in yesterday’s dirty clothes and you will never feel like a winner. What you wear on the outside reflects the way you feel on the inside. Good style can even put you in a better mood.
That’s why it’s important to find a style that fits your personality. Different people look good in different things. It’s important to understand that style doesn’t mean just one thing. Some people may wear elegant dresses, while others like a more casual style. Some guys may feel comfortable in a suit, while others may just want to relax in jeans and a T-shirt. What is your style
8. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph
A. By telling a story. B. By listing some facts.
C. By giving a definition. D. By raising a question.
9. What does the underlined sentence “But let’s not pretend that style isn’t important.” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. We often pretend that style is important.
B. We shouldn’t overlook the significance of style.
C. We must stress that style is the most important thing.
D. We don’t know style matters.
10. Which of the following statements is NOT a benefit of good style
A. Making people feel more confident.
B. Helping people be more outgoing and energetic.
C. Making people have a good mood.
D. Helping people win more games.
11. Where can you probably read this passage
A. In a storybook. B. In a survey report.
C. In a personal diary. D. In a school magazine.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了仪表对一个人的重要性以及良好的风格给人带来的好处。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“One is dressed in sport trousers and a dirty T-shirt. The other looks like someone out of a fashion magazine. Which one is more likely to make friends on their first day (一个穿着运动裤和脏T恤。另一个看起来像时尚杂志里的人。哪一个更可能在第一天交朋友？)”可知，作者描述了两个着装风格不同的新生，并提出问题，让读者猜测他们在入学第一天谁更有可能交到朋友，由此引入文章主题。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Other people pay attention to how you look. They are much more likely to like you if you are well-dressed. What’s more, when we look good, we feel more confident in ourselves.(其他人会注意你的长相。如果你穿着得体，他们更可能喜欢你。更重要的是，当我们看起来很好时，我们会对自己更有信心。)”可知，风格对别人和对自己都是很重要的，所以划线句子表示“我们不应该忽视风格的重要性”。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“What’s more, when we look good, we feel more confident in ourselves.(更重要的是，当我们看起来很好时，我们会对自己更有信心。)”、第四段“Put on your favourite dress and you will feel more outgoing and energetic.(穿上你最喜欢的衣服，你会感到更加外向和充满活力。)”以及“Good style can even put you in a better mood.(好的风格甚至可以让你心情更好。)”可知，好的风格可以使人更自信、更外向、更有活力、有更好的心情，没有提及帮助人们赢得更多比赛。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“You may think you have to wear a school uniform.(你可能认为你必须穿校服。)”可推知，本文的阅读对象是学生，所以你可能会在校刊上读到这篇文章。故选D项。

Plastic straws (吸管) have been a major problem in global discussions of environmental damage. Maybe because of their small size, the production cost of straws is low. In many countries, straws are offered freely after buying soft drinks. Therefore, plastic straws are one of the most used plastics and pollutants in the world.
The plastic straw is light and small. Due to their small size, plastic straws are often eaten by sea animals. Environmentalists have shown that the death of many sea animals is caused by eating plastic straws. The other damaging characteristic of plastic straws is that they are made of materials which cannot degrade. That means the materials cannot be changed into small harmless (无害的) ones.
The most effective way of dealing with the environmental pollution caused by plastic straws is the reuse or banning (禁止) the use of plastic straws. Being plastics, the straws can be made new items. Many organizations around the world change used straws into new products. In Africa, local communities collect used plastic straws and use them to make mats and bags. Another way of dealing with environmental pollution caused by plastic straws is placing a ban on their production and use. Experts advise governments to ban using plastic straws to save the environment. A few countries in the world such as Rwanda, Macedonia, China, Kenya have already banned the use of plastic bags and are expected to include plastic straws and bottles. But it will be a long way to do this effectively.
There are few environmentally friendly and biodegradable productions to take the place of plastic straws. These productions include paper straws, bamboo straws. However, such straws are usually expensive as their production cost is high. It’s still a question whether they can entirely take the place of plastic straws.
12. Why can people be free to use plastic straws
A. They are very cheap. B. They are light and small.
C. They are dangerous. D. They are easy to use.
13. What does the underlined word “due to” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Cut up. B. Because of. C. Go on. D. Break out.
14. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. It’s not difficult to ban using plastic straws.
B. Many countries have stopped using plastic straws.
C. Experts advise people to stop producing plastic straws.
D. Some Africans change plastic straws into new products.
15. What does the author think of environmentally friendly straws
A. It is a must to use them.
B. It’s not easy to reuse them.
C. There are still some problems to be solved.
D. There are some other kinds of cheaper straws.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了塑料吸管对环境的危害、解决方法和可能的环保型替代产品。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段中的“Maybe because of their small size, the production cost of straws is low. In many countries, straws are offered freely after buying soft drinks.(也许是因为它们的体积小，塑料吸管的生产成本很低。在许多国家，塑料吸管是在购买饮料后免费提供的)”，可知因为塑料吸管的生产成本很低、很便宜，所以人们才可以免费使用塑料吸管。故选A项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。由第二段中的“The plastic straw is light and small.(塑料吸管又轻又小)”以及后文“Environmentalists have shown that the death of many sea animals is caused by eating plastic straws.(环保人士指出，许多海洋动物的死亡是由于食用塑料吸管造成的)”可知，由于塑料吸管体积小，它们经常被海洋动物吃掉，导致许多海洋动物的死亡，所以推知“due to”是“由于，因为”之意，和B项意思相近。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“Being plastics, the straws can be made new items. Many organizations around the world change used straws into new products. In Africa, local communities collect used plastic straws and use them to make mats and bags.(作为塑料，吸管可以制成新的物品。世界上许多组织都把吸管用在新产品上。在非洲，当地社区收集废旧塑料吸管，并用它们制作垫子和袋子)”可知塑料吸管可以制成新物品，而在非洲，人们用废旧塑料吸管制作成新产品，如垫子和袋子。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段“There are few environmentally friendly and biodegradable productions to take the place of plastic straws. These productions include paper straws, bamboo straws. However, such straws are usually expensive as their production cost is high. It’s still a question whether they can entirely take the place of plastic straws.(很少有环保和生物降解的产品取代塑料吸管。这些产品包括纸吸管、竹管。然而，由于生产成本高，这种吸管通常很贵。它们是否能完全取代塑料吸管，这仍是一个问题)”可知作者认为环保吸管目前仍存在一些问题，比如替代品很少和生产成本高，所以在这些问题未解决前，能否能完全取代塑料吸管，这仍是一个问题。故选C项。

【24题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意：第一周我并不确定我是否能够成功。A. get得到；B. manage管理，设法做成；C. put放；D. appreciate感激，欣赏。本句话中代词it 指代前文的“good-deed-a-day project”，所以作者不确定自己能否“成功”实施这个计划。故选B项。

考查名词词义辨析。句意：另一天，我把花园里的花送到了当地的一家养老院……我只希望我能唤起别人的意识。A. interest兴趣；B. mercy怜悯；C. awareness意识；D. praise赞赏。根据前文语义，作者目前每天都在做好事，她也同时希望自己的举动能够唤醒他人去做善事的“意识”，去帮助他人。故选C项。
【27题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。我知道我产生了影响。A. discovery发现；B. difference区别；C. mistake错误；D. fortune运气。根据前文关键词“easier”可知，作者发现实施的效果比想象的还要容易，说明结果是好的，产生了积极的影响，make a difference 表示“有影响，起作用”。与上文第一段中“For a long time, I, too, believed it cost too much in time, money and 1 to make a real difference.”作者曾经认为产生影响很难形成对比，故选B项。
【28题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意：每天晚上吃饭时，我都向Emily描述那天我做的好事。A. reminded使想起；B. pointed指出；C. recalled回忆；D. described描述。根据空格后动词“copying”可知，作者先得告诉女儿自己做了什么，女儿才能进行模仿。故选D项。

【32题详解】
考查副词词义辨析。句意：我们放下食物开车离开时，Emily骄傲地宣布，她希望有一天能在那里工作。A. proudly自豪地；B. eagerly渴望地；C. anxiously焦虑地；D. casually随机地。根据后文“she wanted to work there one day”可知，Emily是喜欢在食品银行工作的，所以空格处为积极的感彩。结合前文可知对自己做好事，Emily感到自豪。故选A项。
【33题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意：起初，我并不完全相信我能每天都做一件好事。A. concerned关心；B. convinced相信，信服；C. expected期待，预料；D. persuade说服。根据前文“By the last week, I knew I’d changed.”可知，作者到上周的时候知道自己改变了。空格所在的句子是过去完成时，发生在“知道自己改变”之前，所以在此之前，作者是“不知道/不相信”自己会每天做好事，呼应前文“The first week, I wasn’t sure if I could 4 it.”。故选B项。
【34题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意：现在日行一善几乎成了第二天性。A. scene场景；B. language语言；C. nature天性，本质；D. skill技巧。根据后文提示词“responsibility”，作者认为做好事已经是自己的职责了，所以日行一善这件事几乎成为自己内在的天性了。故选C项。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了可使在沙漠中部发展大型绿色农场成为可能的创新之一的滴灌技术。
【36题详解】
考查时态。句意：在过去的几十年，现代科学技术帮助极大地减少了从事农业所需的繁重劳动。根据时间状语In the past decades，可知这里用现在完成时。故填have helped。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意：这些进步使各国人民在作物生产方面受益。名词countries前用形容词首先。故填various。
【38题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：也许最有益的创新之一是滴灌技术，它使在沙漠中部发展大型绿色农场成为可能。固定短语one of the+形容词最高级+名词复数。故填innovations。
【39题详解】
考查代词。句意：也许最有益的创新之一是滴灌技术，它使在沙漠中部发展大型绿色农场成为可能。句中用it作形式宾语，真正的宾语为不定式to develop big, green farms in the middle of the desert。故填it。
【40题详解】
考查让步状语从句。句意：虽然过去在不同地方已经进行了使滴灌成为现实的试验，但滴灌在中东的以色列县取得了现代的成功。分析句意可知，前后句之间为让步转折关系。故填While或Although或Though。
【41题详解】
考查强调句。句意：虽然过去在不同的地方已经进行了使滴灌成为现实的试验，但滴灌在中东的以色列县取得了现代的成功。强调句的结构为it is+强调部分+that从句。本句强调地点状语in the Middle Eastern county of Israel。故填that。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：虽然过去在不同的地方已经进行了使滴灌成为现实的试验，但滴灌在中东的以色列县取得了现代的成功。名词success表示“成功的事”，是可数名词，泛指且modern发音以辅音音素开头。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：通过滴灌，农民现在可以在不需要太多水的干旱土地上种植庄稼。动名词needing前用介词形式。分析句意可知，这里是不需要太多水，所以用介词without。故填without。
【44题详解】
考查比较级。句意：这种灌溉方法比其他方法用水量少得多。感觉空格后的than可知，这里是形容词比较级形式。故填less。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：有限和集中使用适量的水也可以减少杂草和害虫的水分，防止它们伤害庄稼。逻辑主语与keep之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词作状语。故填keeping。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
During breakfast, Alan suggested going to the Lego Land to have fun and his mom agreed.
“We’ll stop by the supermarket and buy some snacks and fruits. Now hurry and eat and then we’ll go. It’s going to be a lovely day. Grandma is coming with us. She’ll be here any minute.”
Alan ate his breakfast and then ran into his room to get his shoes. The problem was that he could only find one of them. He looked under his bed, but all he could see were dirty pants. He moved some of his toys out of the way, but still couldn’t find his shoe. After he had checked everywhere in his room, he ran into the kitchen. “Mom, I can’t find my shoe. Will you wait while I look for it ” he asked.
His mom thought about how many times she’d told Alan to clean his room up. She said something to Alan’s grandma in a low voice. Then, she said to Alan,“You will have to stay home. Your dad and I will take your brother Alex to the Lego Land. Grandma will stay at home with you.”
“No! Please wait for me. I want to go to the Lego Land,” Alan cried. “I’m sorry, Alan. I’ve told you a dozen times to clean your room and you did not do it. You can’t find your shoe now. It’s your own fault for not cleaning your room.You will stay home.”
Alan ran into his bedroom, crying. His mom came to the door and said, “Alan, clean that room of yours before I get home. I’ve told Grandma not to give you any sweets until you make your room clean and tidy.” She went out with Alex and the brothers’ dad. After a minute, they drove away.

【答案】One possible version:
Alan sat on his bed and cried for a long time. And then he wiped his tears and started to clean his room. It took him two hours to clean up his room. “I did it!” he said proudly. He even found his missing shoe. He ran to the living room. “Grandma come and see. I cleaned my room and found my shoe.” Grandma looked at Alan's room and smiled. “If you had kept it this way, you wouldn't have lost your shoe and your mom wouldn't have punished you,” she said.
Alan and his grandma were sitting at the table, eating when his mom,dad and Alex came home. “Well, look at Alan's room! It's clean,” his dad said. “How was the Lego Land Did you have fun I wish I could have gone there with you,” Alan said. “If you keep your room clean, we may go to the Lego Land again next month,” his mom said. From then on, Alan tried to keep his room clean.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Alan跟妈妈提议去乐高乐园玩，她的妈妈同意了。但是在临行前，Alan只找到了一只鞋，妈妈回想起她告诉Alan多少次让她把房间打扫干净，但是她总是弄的一团糟。于是Alan妈妈打算给她一个教训，没有带她去乐高乐园，而是让奶奶在家看着她把房间打扫干净。

Road Trip Apps You Need Before You Leave
Best App for Route Planning
Ever wonder how delivery drivers manage to hit so many different places in a relatively short amount of time It’s because they’re using an app like Road Warrior to plan their routes to be as efficient as possible. However, while many other route planning apps only take things like traffic into account, Road Warrior includes lots of other time-sucking details. The subscription (订购) options start at $10 per month.
Best App for Gas Prices
Gas prices have been something of a catastrophe (灾难) recently, so travelers are naturally focused on finding the lowest rates whenever possible. Gas Buddy is one of the most popular apps for locating affordable gas, especially on long road trips. Simply enter the starting point and destination, and then watch as all of the cheapest gas prices along your route appear suddenly. Like many apps, there is a free version (版本), as well as a premium (额外) option with added features.
Best App for Planning Sightseeing
For people who aren’t totally focused on getting from point A to point B in the fastest time possible, the Road Trippers app is a must-have. Users can plan their trip from start to finish with as many as 150 waypoints/stops when using the premium version of the app, which costs $29.99 per year. It won’t let you miss the famous sights along the way. It estimates fuel costs, allows for RV drivers to customize (定制) routes friendly to their particular vehicle and lets the user cooperate with friends who are also on the road.
Best App for Family Games and Entertainment
Sure you could listen to music or watch movies, but sometimes it’s fun to throw it way back with classic travel games. The Plates Family Travel app is a modernized version of the classic license plate (车牌) game. There’s also a map feature that shows you exactly where you saw all the license plates on your road trip. This app is available for Apple or Google devices for free.

When Marybeth Hearn was 10 years old, she asked her parents to let her train a dog to become a guide dog. It turned into a lifelong thing. Over more than fifty years, Hearn has raised 56 dogs to help visually impaired (视力受损的) people. But her influence doesn’t end there — the longtime high school teacher has encouraged several of her family members and some of her students to train many more.
When she looked to her parents for support years ago, things were different from what she expected. Her mom didn’t like dogs, and her dad doubted she would be able to find any money to pay for the cost of the training. However, Hearn presented the project at a Lions Club and raised $2, 500. So on a sunny summer day in 1962, the family drove home with a black Lab named Letta, the first of a long series of dog trainees.
Two sons and a granddaughter have followed in Hearn’s footsteps, but her greatest influence has come from guiding student trainers, who since 1992 have worked through a school club with 170 dogs that ended up in different service posts. They spend 14 months with each dog teaching them skills. The dogs live full-time with the students, attending their classes and field trips to become socialized.
The dogs then go to trainers employed by Guide Dogs for the Blind, an organization that partners with the program, before graduating and being paired with two-legged companions. Those that aren’t up to the difficult task of helping the blind can become other kinds of service animals. Often students attend the graduations and help pass the dogs on.
“I love seeing the look on kids’ faces ... when they get to see that dog again after three or four months and the dog remembers them,” Hearn said. “It’s a great feeling.”
4. What has Hearn done since she was a child
A. She has collected money for the blind.
B. She has trained dogs to help the blind.
C. She has petted and cared for many homeless dogs.
D. She has provided the blind with education for free.
5. What was the attitude of Hearn’s dad towards her plan
A. Mad. B. Uncaring. C. Unacceptable. D. Supportive.
6. If a dog fails to help the blind after graduation, it will _____.
A. continue to be trained
B. be taken away as a pet
C. live full-time with Hearn’s students
D. become another kind of service animal
7. Which of the following can best describe Hearn
A. Honest and hard-working.
B. Strong-minded and caring.
C. Outgoing and careful.
D. Strict and creative.
C
Picture this: two new kids show up at school one day. One is dressed in sport trousers and a dirty T-shirt. The other looks like someone out of a fashion magazine. Which one is more likely to make friends on their first day
Everybody knows the saying “Don’t judge a book by its cover”. But let’s not pretend that style isn’t important. Other people pay attention to how you look. They are much more likely to like you if you are well-dressed. What’s more, when we look good, we feel more confident in ourselves.
You may think you have to wear a school uniform. That’s true, but there are still plenty of chances for you to show your style.
Put on your favourite dress and you will feel more outgoing and energetic. Wear something you don’t like, and see how much you feel like talking to someone you are fond of. Put on a nice suit like one that celebrities might wear and watch your posture change. Roll out of bed in yesterday’s dirty clothes and you will never feel like a winner. What you wear on the outside reflects the way you feel on the inside. Good style can even put you in a better mood.
That’s why it’s important to find a style that fits your personality. Different people look good in different things. It’s important to understand that style doesn’t mean just one thing. Some people may wear elegant dresses, while others like a more casual style. Some guys may feel comfortable in a suit, while others may just want to relax in jeans and a T-shirt. What is your style
8. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph
A. By telling a story. B. By listing some facts.
C. By giving a definition. D. By raising a question.
9. What does the underlined sentence “But let’s not pretend that style isn’t important.” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. We often pretend that style is important.
B. We shouldn’t overlook the significance of style.
C. We must stress that style is the most important thing.
D. We don’t know style matters.
10. Which of the following statements is NOT a benefit of good style
A. Making people feel more confident.
B. Helping people be more outgoing and energetic.
C. Making people have a good mood.
D. Helping people win more games.
11. Where can you probably read this passage
A. In a storybook. B. In a survey report.
C. In a personal diary. D. In a school magazine.
D
Plastic straws (吸管) have been a major problem in global discussions of environmental damage. Maybe because of their small size, the production cost of straws is low. In many countries, straws are offered freely after buying soft drinks. Therefore, plastic straws are one of the most used plastics and pollutants in the world.
The plastic straw is light and small. Due to their small size, plastic straws are often eaten by sea animals. Environmentalists have shown that the death of many sea animals is caused by eating plastic straws. The other damaging characteristic of plastic straws is that they are made of materials which cannot degrade. That means the materials cannot be changed into small harmless (无害的) ones.
The most effective way of dealing with the environmental pollution caused by plastic straws is the reuse or banning (禁止) the use of plastic straws. Being plastics, the straws can be made new items. Many organizations around the world change used straws into new products. In Africa, local communities collect used plastic straws and use them to make mats and bags. Another way of dealing with environmental pollution caused by plastic straws is placing a ban on their production and use. Experts advise governments to ban using plastic straws to save the environment. A few countries in the world such as Rwanda, Macedonia, China, Kenya have already banned the use of plastic bags and are expected to include plastic straws and bottles. But it will be a long way to do this effectively.
There are few environmentally friendly and biodegradable productions to take the place of plastic straws. These productions include paper straws, bamboo straws. However, such straws are usually expensive as their production cost is high. It’s still a question whether they can entirely take the place of plastic straws.
12 Why can people be free to use plastic straws
A. They are very cheap. B. They are light and small.
C They are dangerous. D. They are easy to use.
13. What does the underlined word “due to” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Cut up. B. Because of. C. Go on. D. Break out.

During breakfast, Alan suggested going to the Lego Land to have fun and his mom agreed.
“We’ll stop by the supermarket and buy some snacks and fruits. Now hurry and eat and then we’ll go. It’s going to be a lovely day. Grandma is coming with us. She’ll be here any minute.”
Alan ate his breakfast and then ran into his room to get his shoes. The problem was that he could only find one of them. He looked under his bed, but all he could see were dirty pants. He moved some of his toys out of the way, but still couldn’t find his shoe. After he had checked everywhere in his room, he ran into the kitchen. “Mom, I can’t find my shoe. Will you wait while I look for it ” he asked.
His mom thought about how many times she’d told Alan to clean his room up. She said something to Alan’s grandma in a low voice. Then, she said to Alan,“You will have to stay home. Your dad and I will take your brother Alex to the Lego Land. Grandma will stay at home with you.”
“No! Please wait for me. I want to go to the Lego Land,” Alan cried. “I’m sorry, Alan. I’ve told you a dozen times to clean your room and you did not do it. You can’t find your shoe now. It’s your own fault for not cleaning your room.You will stay home.”
Alan ran into his bedroom, crying. His mom came to the door and said, “Alan, clean that room of yours before I get home. I’ve told Grandma not to give you any sweets until you make your room clean and tidy.” She went out with Alex and the brothers’ dad. After a minute, they drove away.
