The Turtle was not happy with his life. He wanted so much to 1 being a turtle.
“I’m tired of swimming about in the sea and moving around on the beach. Life is not 2 ,” he thought. “I want to be able to fly in the air like an eagle.”
He spoke to the Eagle about it.

I don’t have wings, but I can make my four flippers (鳍足) act like wings of birds in the air, the way I do in the water. Just get me up there, and you’ll see I can fly as well as any of the birds—even 6 ! Besides, if you carry me as 7 as the clouds, I will bring you lots of nice pearls (珍珠) from the sea to show my thanks.”
The Eagle 8 at last, and carried the Turtle up high into the sky.

三、阅读理解。
A
A strange siphon
A siphon（虹吸管）is a simple tool for moving water from one place to another and it’s usually made with a hose（软管）of some kind.
Here’s one that’s made of nothing but paper:
You’ll need
·Toilet paper
·Two drinking glasses
1. Tear off（撕掉）five squares of toilet paper and gently roll them into a tong cylinder（圆柱形）.
2. Fill one of the glasses with water, stand it next to the empty glass and lay the paper into as shown in the picture.
3. Leave the glasses and check them a day later.
What happened
Some of the water—as much as half of the water if your siphon works well—will have moved from the full glass to the empty glass.
Water is made up of tiny particles（粒子）. and a piece of paper contains tiny spaces between the paper fibers（纤维）that hold onto water particles.
Those tiny spaces null water along with a force called capillary action（毛细管作用）”, In your siphon, they pulled the water particles over into the empty glass.
1．What is the siphon made of in this experiment
A．Hose. B．Paper. C．Water. D．Plastic.
2．How much toilet paper do we use to make a siphon
A．4 square meters. B．5 square meters. C．4 squares. D．5 squares.
3．What makes the water move from one glass into the other
A．Paper fibers. B．Tiny particles. C．Capillary action. D．Water particles.

Today's teens have grown up online. They make friends online. They do homework online. And surely they get their news online. But because they are so comfortable with the Internet, they seldom question the news stories online and pass along to their friends.
Now William Colglazier, a history teacher at a high school in America, is teaching his students how to think critically(批判性地) about online information and recognize(识别) a fake(假的) news story.
His idea came from a study on people's online reasoning(推理) at Stanford University. The study found that young people lack(缺少) ability to reason about the information on the Internet Most middle school students in the study could not tell the difference between an advertisement and a news story, and high school and college students fully trusted the websites ending in ".org".
The good news is that，according to Colglazier, once teens realize they've been cheated, they have strong will to tell truth from lies. "But they need some advice on how to find evidence(证据) and how to recognize when others use poor argumentation(论据)," he said. Some of the advice that Colglazier offers his students include moving off the site to find more information about the site, the writer's motivations(动机) and the organization behind the news story.
Colglazier shared some of his course with other teens in Teen Vogue, a famous magazine. He hopes more kids would take away some knowledge about thinking critically when they read news online. "The Internet is both beautiful and ugly," he said. "If people cannot tell real news from fake news, the results can be frightening."
4．Colglazier suggests students should __________.
A．trust the websites ending in ".org" B．pass online information along to friends
C．make more friends by using the Internet D．find background information about a news story
5．The underlined part in the last paragraph means __________.
A．fake news may cause terrible results B．people should never trust online news
C．going online too often is bad for teens D．we should make good use of the Internet
6．The structure of the passage may be __________.
（①=para.1 ②=para.2 ③=para.3 ④=para.4 ⑤=para.5）
A．①; ②③; ④⑤ B．①; ②③④; ⑤ C．①②; ③④; ⑤ D．①②; ③；④⑤
7．The title of this article could be __________.
A．William Colglazier's Course Online B．Teen Vogue—A Famous Magazine
C．How to Think Critically About Online News D．What Today's Teens Usually Do on the Internet

As soon as Bassanio and Graziano left for Venice, Portia told Lorenzo that she and Nerisa were going to stay in a convent until their husbands came back. She told him she wanted to prepare herself for marriage. She asked Lorenzo and Jessica to look after the palace and the servants until she came back. Lorenzo was very happy to do this for her. He thought she was a very wise and kind woman. “Bassanio was lucky to have her for his wife, ” he said. Portia said she agreed to let Bassanio go to Venice because Antonio’s letter showed that he must be a very good man.
Portia and Nerissa, however, were not going to a convent. Portia had a different plan, but she did not want to tell Lorenzo and Jessica what it was. It was a secret. She called one of her servants. She told him to go to Padua and find her friend, Bellarion. She gave him a letter to give to Bellarion.
“He will give you some clothes and other things to bring back to me, ” she said. “Bring them to the ship that goes to Venice. Hurry! I will be at the ship before you get there. ”
The servant hurried away with the letter, and Portia called Nerissa. “Come on, Nerissa, ” she said, “We are going to see our husbands sooner than they think. ”
She told Nerissa that their husbands would not recognize them because they were going to disguise themselves as men. “I know how to behave like a man, ” she said. “I will wear a dagger and walk like a man. I will talk about the battles I have won. I will tell lies about the women who fell in love with me.

Have you ever noticed if the sky looks bluer in autumn than in summer 1 And there are some reasons behind it.
The Sun Sits Lower in the Sky
In autumn, the days become shorter and the sun appears to “sit” lower in the sky. 2 So more of the sky is angled (成角度) away from the sun.
This results in more blue light reaching our eyes, making the sky appear bluer.
Less Humidity (湿度) Means Clearer Skies
Autumn is known for its cooler temperatures and lower humidity. 3 With fewer clouds covering the sky, its blue color becomes more pure and the sky feels more open.
4
Believe it or not, the red, orange, and gold leaves of autumn actually help make the sky look even bluer. Because blue and orange are complementary (互补) colors. 5 The warm colors of autumn leaves contrast beautifully with the blue sky, making it stand out even more.
So, the next time you’re out enjoying the beautiful autumn weather, take a moment to look up at the sky and appreciate its stunning blue color!
A．The answer is a definite yes.
B．It’s no longer directly above us.
C．Autumn leaves make the sky even bluer
D．Leaves on the trees turn various colour in autumn.
E．When placed next to each other, they can create the strongest contrast.
F．The air holds less moisture (水分), making it harder for clouds to form.
五、动词填空。
1．Now we truly believe that it is worth (devote) all our efforts to our goals.
2．Don’t be worried so much, all these problems (deal) with soon.
3．I’m often encouraged to say my true (think) in my family.
4．Look, the old mouse (connect) to my computer doesn’t work now.
5．You never know how much time you have to devote (shape) your own life and future.

Mr. Smith is our school gardener. He is 1 old man with a head of white hair. He works hard 2 (make) our school green and lively. No matter in the winter cold or in the summer heat, he is never late 3 work. He goes to work early in the morning and only leaves in the evening.
Every day, he 4 (wear) a grey hat and a pair of blue trousers. He cleans the leaves in the garden three 5 (time) a day. He also plants trees and waters flowers. When he is working, he is very serious. He even gets angry when we try to talk to 6 (he). He is always quiet during his working time.

七、阅读表达。
Scientists find that hard-working people can live longer than idle (不工作的) people. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than the job-holder. A report shows that whenever the unemployment rate (失业率) increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point: Work is helpful to our health.
Why is work good for health It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel not only unhappy but also worried when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work, people come into contact with each other. If people take part in some activities, they can find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work sometimes means the loss of everything. It affects man in spirit and makes him easy to get ill.
Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment (充实感). Work makes one feel his value in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.
From the above we can know that the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study well and live a happy and healthy life.
1．Who can live longer, hard-working people or idle people
2．What does the writer want to tell us in the first paragraph
3．How do people feel when they don’t have anything to do
4．How can we find friendship and warmth in our daily life
5．What do you think hard work can bring us (自拟一句作答)

He spoke to the Eagle about it.
“You’re not built for 3 ,” the Eagle told the Turtle. “You don’t have any wings (翅膀).”

A strange siphon
A siphon（虹吸管）is a simple tool for moving water from one place to another and it’s usually made with a hose（软管）of some kind.
Here’s one that’s made of nothing but paper:
You’ll need
·Toilet paper
·Two drinking glasses
1. Tear off（撕掉）five squares of toilet paper and gently roll them into a tong cylinder（圆柱形）.
2. Fill one of the glasses with water, stand it next to the empty glass and lay the paper into as shown in the picture.
3. Leave the glasses and check them a day later.
What happened
Some of the water—as much as half of the water if your siphon works well—will have moved from the full glass to the empty glass.
Water is made up of tiny particles（粒子）. and a piece of paper contains tiny spaces between the paper fibers（纤维）that hold onto water particles.
Those tiny spaces null water along with a force called capillary action（毛细管作用）”, In your siphon, they pulled the water particles over into the empty glass.
1．What is the siphon made of in this experiment
A．Hose. B．Paper. C．Water. D．Plastic.
2．How much toilet paper do we use to make a siphon
A．4 square meters. B．5 square meters. C．4 squares. D．5 squares.
3．What makes the water move from one glass into the other
A．Paper fibers. B．Tiny particles. C．Capillary action. D．Water particles.

Today's teens have grown up online. They make friends online. They do homework online. And surely they get their news online. But because they are so comfortable with the Internet, they seldom question the news stories online and pass along to their friends.
Now William Colglazier, a history teacher at a high school in America, is teaching his students how to think critically(批判性地) about online information and recognize(识别) a fake(假的) news story.
His idea came from a study on people's online reasoning(推理) at Stanford University. The study found that young people lack(缺少) ability to reason about the information on the Internet Most middle school students in the study could not tell the difference between an advertisement and a news story, and high school and college students fully trusted the websites ending in ".org".
The good news is that，according to Colglazier, once teens realize they've been cheated, they have strong will to tell truth from lies. "But they need some advice on how to find evidence(证据) and how to recognize when others use poor argumentation(论据)," he said. Some of the advice that Colglazier offers his students include moving off the site to find more information about the site, the writer's motivations(动机) and the organization behind the news story.
Colglazier shared some of his course with other teens in Teen Vogue, a famous magazine. He hopes more kids would take away some knowledge about thinking critically when they read news online. "The Internet is both beautiful and ugly," he said. "If people cannot tell real news from fake news, the results can be frightening."
4．Colglazier suggests students should __________.
A．trust the websites ending in ".org" B．pass online information along to friends
C．make more friends by using the Internet D．find background information about a news story
5．The underlined part in the last paragraph means __________.
A．fake news may cause terrible results B．people should never trust online news
C．going online too often is bad for teens D．we should make good use of the Internet

Have you ever noticed if the sky looks bluer in autumn than in summer 1 And there are some reasons behind it.
The Sun Sits Lower in the Sky
In autumn, the days become shorter and the sun appears to “sit” lower in the sky. 2 So more of the sky is angled (成角度) away from the sun.
This results in more blue light reaching our eyes, making the sky appear bluer.
Less Humidity (湿度) Means Clearer Skies
Autumn is known for its cooler temperatures and lower humidity. 3 With fewer clouds covering the sky, its blue color becomes more pure and the sky feels more open.
4
Believe it or not, the red, orange, and gold leaves of autumn actually help make the sky look even bluer. Because blue and orange are complementary (互补) colors. 5 The warm colors of autumn leaves contrast beautifully with the blue sky, making it stand out even more.
So, the next time you’re out enjoying the beautiful autumn weather, take a moment to look up at the sky and appreciate its stunning blue color!
A．The answer is a definite yes.
B．It’s no longer directly above us.
C．Autumn leaves make the sky even bluer
D．Leaves on the trees turn various colour in autumn.
E．When placed next to each other, they can create the strongest contrast.
F．The air holds less moisture (水分), making it harder for clouds to form.

Scientists find that hard-working people can live longer than idle (不工作的) people. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than the job-holder. A report shows that whenever the unemployment rate (失业率) increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point: Work is helpful to our health.
Why is work good for health It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel not only unhappy but also worried when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work, people come into contact with each other. If people take part in some activities, they can find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health.

A report shows that whenever the unemployment rate (失业率) increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point: Work is helpful to our health.
Why is work good for health It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel not only unhappy but also worried when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work, people come into contact with each other. If people take part in some activities, they can find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work sometimes means the loss of everything. It affects man in spirit and makes him easy to get ill.
Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment (充实感). Work makes one feel his value in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.
From the above we can know that the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study well and live a happy and healthy life.
