3.（2017·遵义）阅读理解C??? On a very hot day，it can be hard to know what to do to feel good．If we run around，we may feel dizzy and sick to our stomachs．This is because our body can't get rid of the extra heat．However，if we just sit and do nothing，we may feel restless and bored．Are there things we can do to feel good when we are hot? Yes! Playing in water is one way to feel cooler．Of course，people with a pool，river，lake or ocean nearby can play in the water very conveniently．People don't have these can still play in water too．Taking a cool bath or shower can feel good on a hot day．On hot days，you can lose two gallons(加仑)of water in one day，so many doctors agree that you should try to drink at least 16 glasses of water to keep the water balance in your body． Mixing a little juice into your water is a good way to help you drink plenty of water．The food we eat also makes a difference in how we feel in the heat．Cold foods，such as ice cream and drinks with some ice can cool down our bodies．Fruits and vegetables are easy for the body and refreshing．Plan a healthy menu for a hot day．

4.（2017·贺州）阅读理解C??? Do you know why different animals or insects have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.??? Some birds like eating locusts(蝗虫）,but birds can't easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other insects with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others, so they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.??? If you study the animal life, you will find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quickly through the forest. They cannot be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colors much like the trees.??? Have you ever noticed an even more strange fact? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid（液体）when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.根据短文内容，选择最佳选项，将其标号在答题卡上涂黑。 21教育名师原创作品

5.（2017·贺州）阅读理解D??? Once a king got two nice falcons（猎鹰）from his son. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.??? After several months, the king came to see how the training was going. He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while the other was staying on the branch（树枝）of a tree quietly, just keeping still.??? The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon fly. But none of them succeeded. One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest, an idea came to his mind. He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.??? The next morning, the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely. "It is unbelievable!" shouted the king. "How could you make it happen?"??? The farmer replied, "It's very easy. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested."??? It's always the same to human beings.

I got on a bus quietly. Suddenly, a passenger cried in a loud voice, "someone has stolen my money!" I felt nervous, because his money was in my hand.

At that time, one passenger said, "Turn off the lights and give the thief(小简)a chance to take out the money."Then the bus got dark.???

9.（2016·贺州）阅读理解D??? Have you ever had dreams about building a robot? Or putting together a spaceship? Or even seeing your face made out of chocolate? Done. All you need is a 3-D printer.??? The possibilities of 3-D printing seem endless(无穷尽的）.All the user has to do is to design an object on the computer and choose a material to print in. The printers print in hundreds of different materials including glass, sugar and even skin! When the user presses(按）“print", the 3-D printer spreads the materials layer(层）by layer and like magic the object is produced.??? The first 3-D printer was invented in 1986 by an American, Charles Hull. But 3-D printing has only become cheap enough recently for most people to use. Designers now use 3-D printing to create unusual things. The Dutch artist Dirk Vander Kooj prints furniture made from old fridges. And doctors have used 3-D printing to print human body parts! The Telegraph reported in February that scientists from Cornell Medical College even printed a man-made ear.??? But like a lot of new technologies, if 3-D printing gets into the wrong hands, it can be dangerous.??? In 2011 a group of four men in the US used 3-D printing to produce ATM skimmers(提款机盗刷器).These were placed on an ATM and stole over $400,000 from users of the ATM. It is terrible to think that criminals like them might one day use a 3-D printer to print a gun.??? But for better or for worse, 3-D printing has been put into use. In a few years, you'll probably be wondering how you could ever live without your 3-D printer!根据短文内容，选择最佳选项。

14.（2017·南充）根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。??? “Without music, life would be a mistake,” famous German philosopher(哲学家) Friendrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets(预算).??? For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired(解雇)over 1,000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That's partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn't tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often.??? However, learning music is beneficial(有益的)in many ways.??? When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode(解码)them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.??? Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano.

15.（2017?绵阳）根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。??? There is a popular belief that goldfish only have a three-second memory. But a 15-year-old schoolboy from Adelaide has just finished an experiment（实验）to tell us that it is not true. He shows everybody that the goldfish is smarter than we think.??? “I don't believe that they had a three-second memory because animals need their memory, so they build up over time a knowledge of where the food is,” said Roy Stokes, a student at the Australian Science and Mathematics School.??? He did the experiment in small tank（鱼缸）of goldfish. “I decided to get a bit of red Logo and just feed them next to that. Every day I'd put it in and spread food around it.” He said.??? “At first they were a bit scared of it, but by the end of the three weeks, they were actually almost coming before I put the food in.”??? After leaving the fish alone for a week, Rory placed the red Logo block in the tank again.??? “They remembered perfectly well,” he said.??? “They actually had a time faster than the average of the three feeds before I left.”??? The goldfish showed that not only could they store information, they also had the ability to get it back as a later date.??? Culum Brown, a research fellow at Sydney's Macquarie University, has studied fish behavior for more than ten years.??? He says his studies of Australian native fish show fish were intelligent creatures that know how to avoid enemies and catch food like any other animal.??? “The thing that I really liked about Rory's experiment is he not only got that classical conditioning going but the fact that he could get them next just to that specific coloured market. I thought it was really good.” He said.
（1）Rory began his research by ______.
A.?discussing with his classmates????????????????????????B.?making friends with goldfishC.?asking his teacher for advice???????????????????????????D.?questioning a popular belief
