Teacher Tyler Henderson is color blind, and the world in his eyes is only black and white. When he directed a musical at school, his students discovered his 1 . They wanted to do something to help him see the 2 world. These student actors began to 3 money. With the donated money from their classmates, they bought a pair of Enchroma glasses, which allow color blind people to see red color. The students believed the 4 would be a surprise to their respected teacher.
The day finally came. Standing on the stage, Mr. Henderson was going to give instructions. Suddenly, the students broke out into a song from the musical and presented their teacher with a banner (横幅) “You helped us see our colors. Now we’re helping you see 5 .” Then the Enchroma glasses were 6 to Henderson with a touching letter.
All the students in the theatre were holding their breath and eagerly watching Mr. Henderson as he 7 put on his new pair of glasses. One of the students couldn’t wait to ask 8 the glasses helped. “They 9 very well.” Henderson answered in amazement. As he had never expected to receive such a gift, he was speechless. He sat down on the stage with tears of 10 in his eyes.
Hours after he received the gift, Henderson was still emotional. “I had trouble 11 them on because my eyes were filled with tears.” Henderson said
The students know that the ability to see colors is 12 important for Henderson. “He has put all his effort 13 theater, but he hasn’t been able to see the red color on stage,” student Ariana Brown said. “And now he will lead a 14 life.”
“The new glasses not only color my world, but also light up my life.” said Henderson. The 15 in the glasses will inspire him to express his gratitude (感激) on his life stage.

二、阅读理解
(A)
Hard water has higher amounts of of Ca2+ and Mg2+, so it’s more difficult to get things clean when you are washing in hard water. We are sharing two ways to check whether you are using hard water at home.
Method 1: Soap Test
Step 1: Choose a clear instead of covered bottle so that you can notice the changes during the test. Step 2: Fill half of the bottle with water. Step 3: Add 10 drops of liquid (液体) soap to the bottle. Step 4: Cap the bottle and shake it for a few seconds. Step 5: Open the bottle and check the bubbles (泡沫) at the top of the water.
This method will only give you an idea of whether the water you are using is hard or soft. You won’t be able to know the exact degree of hardness of the water. But the fewer the bubbles you can see, the harder the water is.
Method 2: Hard Water Test Strips(试纸)
Dip the strip into the water sample for 2 seconds and take it out right away. Hold the strip for 30 pare the test strip color with the color chart on the bottle label.
Although the result is not as dependable as the lab test, the color chart can tell you the water hardness based on the color.
If you now know that the water that you are using is hard, you should consider taking action to change hard water into soft one. The most chosen way is to fix a hard water softener. You can check out the list of our best-selling water softeners for bathrooms and washing machines by clicking here.
25.Why is a clear instead of covered bottle needed in the soap test
A.Because you can see what happens in the bottle during the test.
B.Because a covered bottle may have lots of Ca2+ and Mg2+.
C.Because a clear bottle may show more bubbles.
D.Because light is needed during the test.
26.How does the number of bubbles change with water hardness in the soap test
(x = the bubbles, y = how hard the water is)
A. B. C. D.
27.What can show you the result when using hard water strips
A.The color of the water softener. B.The change of the water.
C.The color on the strips. D.The amount of the bubbles.
28.What should you do if you find the water you are using is hard, according to the text
A.Boil the water before using it. B.Call the water company.
C.Use soap to soften the water. D.Fix a hard water softener.
29.Where may the text be from
A.A book about science tests. B.A poster for selling hard water test strips.
C.A study about hard water. D.A website for selling water softeners.

In English, when someone is very angry, we say this person sees red, like the way a bull (公牛) goes wild after seeing a red cloth. Now it turns out that seeing red is not just an expression for angry people, but also a scientific fact.
Researchers found that there is a connection between the color red and anger. Angry people really see red where others don’t. And a special love for red over blue may even suggest a more hostile (敌对的) personality.
The study includes a number of experiments. At first, researchers asked a group of people which colour they preferred, red or blue. Participants (参与者) then did personality tests. Results showed that those who chose red seemed to be more hostile. During a second test, participants looked at faded (褪色的) images that could be seen as either red or blue. Those who saw red scored 25 percent higher on hostility in the personality test.
“Hostile people have hostile thoughts. Hostile thoughts are connected with the colour red, and so hostile people see this colour more often.” the researchers said.
Finally, the participants were told about imaginary situations in which they could take different actions. Results showed that in these situations, red-preferring people were more likely to show that they would hurt another person than those who preferred blue.
30.What may people be like if they prefer the colour red over blue according to the passage
A.They get angry easily. B.They have strange thoughts.
C.They are good at taking actions. D.They are good at doing experiments.
31.How do the researchers prove the person who loves red may have more hostility
A.By making interviews. B.By listing numbers.
C.By doing experiments. D.By giving examples.
32.What’s the best title of the passage
A.Hostile People B.Red and Blue
C.People Who Prefer Red D.Meanings of Different Colours
(C)
You are walking down the street in the middle of the day and you see someone wearing a green hat. Some people may think it’s fashionable while others don’t care at all. Do you wonder what wearing a green hat means in Chinese culture Here are four colours and their meanings in Chinese culture.
Green
In most cultures, green represents nature and is a calm colour. However, in modern Chinese culture, green has a negative meaning. For example, when you say “His face looks green”, it means he doesn’t look well. When you say someone is wearing a green hat, it means the person’s partner is cheating on (对……不忠) him or her.
Yellow
In ancient China, yellow represented power. Only the emperor could wear this colour. Yellow was also considered as a natural colour. The Yellow River, the second-longest river in China, got its name from the yellowish soil in it. Now, when yellow is used in a sentence, it means someone fails and that something doesn’t go as planned. For example, when you ask people how their relationship is going, they might say “huáng le”, which means they’ve broken up.
Red
Red is considered as one of the luckiest colours in Chinese culture. In ancient China, the royal (皇室的) family wore bright red. In modern China, red is often seen at celebrations like weddings and festivals. Red also describes someone who is very popular, like a star. You will say “he is red”.
White
In ancient China, white was considered as common people’s colour. Back then, only the rich could afford to make colourful mon people couldn’t afford that, so most of their clothes were white. Now people still enjoy white clothes, but they sometimes connect white with bad things. It is connected with scary things like death.
33.The example in Paragraph 1 is used to ________.
A.make a comparison B.show the conclusion

(D)
Brazilian artist Vik Muniz uses everyday objects in unusual ways. Through his art, Muniz makes people think differently about their everyday lives-even their own rubbish.
In 2007, Muniz worked on a two-year project at one of the world’s largest landfills. Until its closure in 2012, Jardim Gramacho received about 70 percent of the rubbish from Rio de Janeiro. About 3,000 rubbish pickers, known as catadores, worked there. Their job was to hunt through the rubbish for recyclable cans, bottles, and other materials. They then made money by selling the objects to recycling companies.
The catadores’ work was dirty and dangerous, and most of them only received between $20 and $25 a day. Despite the hard conditions, many catadores were proud of their work. Valter Dos Santos, a worker at Jardim Gramacho for more than 25 years, told Muniz, “I am proud to be a picker. I try to explain to people that recycling prevents great harm to nature and the environment. People sometimes say, ‘But one single soda can ’ One single can is of great importance! That single can will make the difference.”
Muniz became friends with Dos Santos and other catadores. They allowed him to take their photographs at the landfill, where they posed for artistic portraits. For example, Muniz photographed a landfill worker in the style of a famous French painting. The workers then helped Muniz create huge images of these photos on the floor of his workshop. They used materials from the landfill to add color and depth to the images.
________ Muniz says he wanted to “change the lives of people with the same materials they deal with every day.” A photograph of his recreation of the French painting sold for 28,000 ($50,000) at a London art auction. Muniz gave the money to the catadores workers’ organization.
In 2010, a movie called Waste Land was made about Muniz’s project. The film received many awards and helped make people aware of the rubbish collectors’ lives. The catadores also began to see themselves differently. “Sometimes we see ourselves as so small,” says Irma, a cook at Gramacho, “but people out there see us as so big, so beautiful.”
114.Why did the writer mention Valter Dos Santos
A.To tell the story of a catador’s life. B.To describe the catadores’ hard conditions.
C.To show the value of a catador’s work. D.To give an example of successful catadores.
115.What can we learn about Muniz’s photographs
A.They were all taken at the landfill. B.He spent a long time on each of them.
C.They were only part of his unusual creation. D.He took them in the style of famous paintings.
116.Which of the following is the most suitable for ________
A.Why take such photos of these catadores B.Why create such huge images using rubbish
C.How to help these people in a creative way D.How to turn everyday objects into art pieces
117.Which of the following shows the right order of the things that happened
a. A movie was made about Muniz’s project.
b. Gramacho stopped receiving rubbish.
c. Dos Santos started working at Gramacho.
d. Muniz made friends with some catadores.
A.d-c-b-a. B.c-d-b-a. C.d-c-a-b. D.c-d-a-b.
三、信息还原
Most people have a favorite color. 37 This can be very important to people in business that sell products all over the world. They might choose a color because they think it is exciting or nice. But in another country, the same color could be used to give a sad meaning. 38
If you ask someone in Britain what the right color is for a bride (新娘) to wear, the answer will be white. In China and other Eastern countries, brides often wear red. 39 But red is an unusual color for a British bride to wear. In Britain, red is used as a sign of danger. Road signs and warning signals are often in red. In Eastern cultures, the color red does not always mean you have to be careful.
40 In Britain and other Western cultures, death and funerals (葬礼) are usually tied to the color black, but in many Eastern countries white is the color people think of when it comes to death and funerals.
Many people like the color orange because it is bright and exciting. 41 Because they believe the color may suggest that the products are cheap and not very good.
In a word, colors have different meanings in different cultures. We should learn to choose the right color in some special situations.
A.Have a look at the following examples.
B.In Egypt, yellow is the color for death.
C.This is because the color red means good luck and happiness.
D.However, how people feel about colors depends on their culture.
E.They are very important colors in people’s daily life.
F.But actually some advertisers (广告商) will not use this color in their advertisements.
