April Fool's Day is supposed to be a day to play jokes on others in the hope of getting a good laugh and making one feel like a fool.
April Fool's Day started in the sixteenth century in Europe. Before that time, New Year's Day was celebrated on April 1st. Then a new calendar called the Gregorian calendar was introduced. January 1st became the first day of the year, but many people didn't know about it. So those who continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1st were teased. They were called fools.
Nowadays we play jokes on people on April 1st. For example, someone might put salt in the sugar bottle so another person could put it in his coffee "by accident". Or someone might change the time on another person's alarm clock so that that person would unknowingly wake up earlier or later than planned. Or maybe a person would tell a lie to make someone else shocked.
After we play the trick, we say "April Fools". Then the poor person realizes he was fooled. It is generally done in the spirit of fun and doesn't cause any real harm(伤害) to anyone.
68. Before the sixteenth century, New Year's Day was on .
A. April 1st B. January 1st C. September 1st D. October 1st
69. Sometimes people lie to shock someone on .
A. New Year's Day B. Christmas Day
C. April Fool's Day D. Thanksgiving Day
70. In the 2nd paragraph, the closest meaning of the underlined word "teased" is in English.
A. hit B. criticized C. laughed at D. disagreed
71. What should be the right attitude(态度) towards "April Fool"
A. It is generally done in the spirit of fun and doesn't cause any real harm to anyone.
B. It is done for the real fools.
C. We needn't say "April Fools" when we play jokes on people on April 1st.
D. We can do anything to others.
C
Let's try doing the following experiment.
What to Do:
Use string to hang a paper clip or other small object at about chest(胸部) level.
Pick up a stick, such as a broom handle. Take three or four steps away from the paper clip.
Now close one eye and walk toward the paper clip. Try to touch it with the tip of the stick. If you miss, try again, still keeping one eye closed. Now try it with both eyes open and see if it's easier to do.
How it works:
In the experiment, you have to judge how far away the paper clip is. Your brain has several ways of doing this.
One simple way depends on how much your eye has to focus(聚焦) itself. Using only one eye, most people will find it difficult to touch the paper clip on the first try, but the brain still gets some information about distance—though not much.
Your brain can judge distance much better when you look at something with both eyes. In fact, your brain has more than one way to use both eyes in judging distance. For example, to see anything clearly, you have to make both of your eyes point at the object. When you look at a nearby object, your eyes turn inward. You can feel this happening if you look at the tip of your finger and move your finger toward your nose.
Your brain gets information from the eyes about how much they are pointing toward each other. Using that information, the brain can tell how far away any object is, whether it is a basketball or a paper clip.
72. How many materials do we need at least to do the experiment
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
73. The passage is mainly about that with eyes our brain can judge .
A. how big an object is
B. how high an object is
C. how far away an object is
D. how much information an object is
74. Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. Our brain judges distance in one way when we use both eyes.
B. Our brain cannot judge the distance of a small object but a big one.
C. How much our eyes focus helps our brain judge the size of an object.
D. How much our eyes focus helps our brain judge the distance of an object.
75. From the experiment we can infer(推断) .
A. with one eye we can see an object as clearly as we use two eyes
B. our eyes turn towards the inside when we look at an object very near
C. within 3 or 4 steps, the nearer an object is, the more clearly we can see it
D. our brain can hardly get any information about distance when we use one eye
D
One of my sweetest memories as a child is of going down to the river and sitting comfortably on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream and listen to songs of birds. I would also watch the bamboo trees bend under the pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their original state after the wind had died down.
When I think about the bamboo tree's ability to bend and move back, the word "resilience" comes to my mind. When it is used for a person, this word means the ability to readily recover(恢复) from shock, sadness or any other suffering. Have you ever felt like you were going to snap Have you ever felt like you were at your breaking point Thankfully, you have survived to talk about it.
Life is a mixture(混合) of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend, but don't break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
An amount of hope will take you through the unpleasant suffering. With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem. The unpleasant suffering may be easier to deal with if the end result is worth having.
If things get tough and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo trees, bend, but don't break!
76. What does the word "snap" in the second paragraph most probably mean
A. break B. change C. win D. complain
77. What can help people get through sufferings according to the writer
A. Holding peace and quiet in mind.
B. Waiting until sufferings disappear.
C. Experiencing more bad times.
D. Hoping for a better tomorrow.
78. What would be the best title of this passage
A. Memories of Bamboo B. Be Like Bamboo
C. Enjoying Bamboo D. Characteristics of Bamboo

九、阅读与表达(问答式)（共5小题；共10分）
There is not enough oil in the world now. As time goes by, it becomes less and less, so what are we going to do when it runs out Perhaps we will go back to use horses, carriages and bicycles.
In the Second World War, some people didn't use gas made from Petroleum(石油) in their cars. They made gas from wood and plants instead. The cars didn't go fast, but they ran, so this was better than nothing. However, in the future, we can't cut down all our trees to make gas; we need our trees for other things, too.
Besides different types of gas, we can also use electricity(电) to run our cars, but first we must make the electricity! Some countries have coal and they make electricity with that, but we might not always have coal, either. Other countries have big strong rivers, and they can use the power of water to turn turbines(涡轮机) and make electricity more easily and cheaply.
We are also able to get electricity from the ocean tides(潮汐). We put turbines into the mouth of the river. Then the tide comes in; the water turns the turbines and then it goes out; it turns them again.
Which of these ways will be used to run our cars in the future
根据短文内容，完成下列小题。
84. Is there enough oil in the world now
85. When might people have to go back to use horses and bicycles
