你喜欢大海吗？阳光照耀下她妩媚多姿；狂风暴雨下她凶猛狂暴，除此以外你还了解大海的什么呢？
When you look at the map of the world you will find there is more sea than land． The sea covers three quarters of the world． The sea is also very deep in some places． It is not deep everywhere． Some parts of the sea are very shallow(浅的)．But in some places the depth of the sea is very great． There is one spot，near Japan，where the sea is nearly 11 kilometers deep！The highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometers high． If that mountain were put into the sea at that place，there would be 2 kilometers of water above it! What a deep place! If you have swum in the sea，you know that it is salty．You can taste the salt． Rivers，which
flow(流动) into the sea, carry salt from the land into the sea． Some parts of the sea are saltier than other parts． There is one sea，called the Dead Sea，which is very salty． It is so salty that swimmers cannot sink！Fish cannot live in the Dead Sea! In most parts of the sea，there are plenty of fishes and plants． Some live near the top of the sea, others live deep down． There are also millions of tiny living things that float(漂浮) in the sea． These floating things are so small that it is hard to see them． Many fish live by eating these． The sea can be very cold． Divers who go deep down in the sea know this． On the top the water may be warm． When the diver goes downwards，the sea becomes colder and colder．

A
Some scientists say that animals in the oceans are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings．
The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities．It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines．Such noises are added to natural sounds．These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves．
Decibels(分贝) measured in water are different from those measured on land．A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears．In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect．
Some scientists have suggested setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in the oceans．They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales(鲸鱼)．
A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals．
The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing．This seriously affected the whales’ ability to exchange information and find their way．Some of the whales even died．The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected．
Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds are against a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels．They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research．
Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals．However, many scientists don’t think that noise is a greater danger than they believed．They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean．
【解题导语】 研究表明噪音污染会引起海洋生物的危险，科学家将要采取措施拯救海洋生物，阻止噪音对海洋生物的伤害，提醒我们也要意识到保护海洋生物的重要性。
1．According to the passage, natural sounds include all of the following EXCEPT ________．
A．sounds made by animals themselves
B．ocean drilling
C．underwater earthquakes
D．the breaking of ice fields
B 解析：细节理解题。从文章第二段能直接找出那些对海洋生物产生影响的噪音，一些来源于人类活动，例如：工业水下爆炸、海洋钻探、和船舶发动机。还有一些来自于冰域破裂、水下地震、动物自身发出的声音之类的自然界的噪音。B选项“海洋钻探”，是人为因素，并非自然所为。
2．Which of the following is true of whales?
A．They won’t be confused by noises．
B．They are deaf to noises．
C．Their ability to reproduce will be lowered by highlevel noises．
D．Their hearing will be damaged by highlevel noises．
D 解析：细节理解题。文章倒数第三段讲的就是噪音对鲸鱼的影响——影响到其听力。“This seriously affected the whales’ ability to exchange information and find their way．”即“噪音会影响鲸鱼的交流和辨识路径的能力”。故A错误。B项“be deaf to”意为：“对……充耳不闻”，“鲸鱼对噪音充耳不闻”这显然和文章内容相悖。而文中并未提到噪音对鲸鱼的繁衍能力的影响，所以C项也不正确。
3．According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?
A．They will work hard to reduce ocean noise pollution．
B．They will protect sea animals from harmful noises．
C．They will try to set a limit of 120 decibels．
D．They will study the effect of ocean noise pollution．
B 解析：推理判断题。由文章的最后一句话They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean．可知科学家将来要采取阻止噪音对海洋生物的伤害的措施，故选B。
B

Chicago is a great city for eating, and we have enjoyed tasting the different foods． Last night, we tried one of the city’s most famous foods: deep-dish pizza． Chicago is famous for the rich and cheesy thick-crust pizza, covered with a sweet tomato sauce． We topped it with olives and green peppers．
We were touring the city, mainly looking for delicious local foods． Today, we enjoyed a Polish specialty at lunch: Pierogis, an Eastern European dumpling-like dish, filled with foods like potatoes, cheese, mushrooms, cabbage and meat． Polish immigrants started settling in Chicago in the 1850s, and the city has one of the largest Polish communities in the U．S．
We took a break from exploring the city to talk with some of you! Ashley and Caty logged onto the Internet for an on-the-road version of TALK2US． We spoke to an English teacher in Tokyo, Japan, and a graduate student in India．
Meanwhile, Adam searched for some places around the city to shoot some video． He chose a spectacular spot: Navy Pier, Chicago’s most-visited attraction． The winds from Lake Michigan keep visitors cool, and the view of the Chicago skyline never fails to impress． In fact, the view made all of us head__over__heels!
Our time in Chicago has come to an end． Tomorrow, the true journey begins, as we pass through Illinois and into Missouri via Route 66． Springfield, the home of Abe Lincoln, and St．Louis, the “gateway to the West，” wait for us．

7．The underlined part “head over heels” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by ________．
A．calm B．relaxed
C．attracted D．disappointed
C 解析：词义猜测题。根据上文的and the view of the Chicago skyline never fails to impress．可知，那里的景色从来都是给人留下深刻印象，所以此处的单词意为：被吸引。
C

A
Some scientists say that animals in the oceans are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings．
The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities．It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines．Such noises are added to natural sounds．These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves．
Decibels(分贝) measured in water are different from those measured on land．A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears．In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect．
Some scientists have suggested setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in the oceans．They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales(鲸鱼)．
A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals．
The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing．This seriously affected the whales’ ability to exchange information and find their way．Some of the whales even died．The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected．
Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds are against a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels．They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research．
Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals．However, many scientists don’t think that noise is a greater danger than they believed．They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean．
【解题导语】 研究表明噪音污染会引起海洋生物的危险，科学家将要采取措施拯救海洋生物，阻止噪音对海洋生物的伤害，提醒我们也要意识到保护海洋生物的重要性。
1．According to the passage, natural sounds include all of the following EXCEPT ________．
A．sounds made by animals themselves
B．ocean drilling
C．underwater earthquakes
D．the breaking of ice fields
B 解析：细节理解题。从文章第二段能直接找出那些对海洋生物产生影响的噪音，一些来源于人类活动，例如：工业水下爆炸、海洋钻探、和船舶发动机。还有一些来自于冰域破裂、水下地震、动物自身发出的声音之类的自然界的噪音。B选项“海洋钻探”，是人为因素，并非自然所为。
2．Which of the following is true of whales?
A．They won’t be confused by noises．
B．They are deaf to noises．
C．Their ability to reproduce will be lowered by highlevel noises．
D．Their hearing will be damaged by highlevel noises．
D 解析：细节理解题。文章倒数第三段讲的就是噪音对鲸鱼的影响——影响到其听力。“This seriously affected the whales’ ability to exchange information and find their way．”即“噪音会影响鲸鱼的交流和辨识路径的能力”。故A错误。B项“be deaf to”意为：“对……充耳不闻”，“鲸鱼对噪音充耳不闻”这显然和文章内容相悖。而文中并未提到噪音对鲸鱼的繁衍能力的影响，所以C项也不正确。
3．According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?
A．They will work hard to reduce ocean noise pollution．
B．They will protect sea animals from harmful noises．
C．They will try to set a limit of 120 decibels．
D．They will study the effect of ocean noise pollution．
B 解析：推理判断题。由文章的最后一句话They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean．可知科学家将来要采取阻止噪音对海洋生物的伤害的措施，故选B。

Soft winds blew throughout the Windy City today． We welcomed the winds, as it was another hot day in Chicago． The wind blew, bringing us some coolness and making the weather not that hot． But it was a beautiful summer day with a blue sky．
Chicago is a great city for eating, and we have enjoyed tasting the different foods． Last night, we tried one of the city’s most famous foods: deep-dish pizza． Chicago is famous for the rich and cheesy thick-crust pizza, covered with a sweet tomato sauce． We topped it with olives and green peppers．
We were touring the city, mainly looking for delicious local foods． Today, we enjoyed a Polish specialty at lunch: Pierogis, an Eastern European dumpling-like dish, filled with foods like potatoes, cheese, mushrooms, cabbage and meat． Polish immigrants started settling in Chicago in the 1850s, and the city has one of the largest Polish communities in the U．S．
We took a break from exploring the city to talk with some of you! Ashley and Caty logged onto the Internet for an on-the-road version of TALK2US． We spoke to an English teacher in Tokyo, Japan, and a graduate student in India．
Meanwhile, Adam searched for some places around the city to shoot some video． He chose a spectacular spot: Navy Pier, Chicago’s most-visited attraction． The winds from Lake Michigan keep visitors cool, and the view of the Chicago skyline never fails to impress． In fact, the view made all of us head__over__heels!
Our time in Chicago has come to an end． Tomorrow, the true journey begins, as we pass through Illinois and into Missouri via Route 66． Springfield, the home of Abe Lincoln, and St．Louis, the “gateway to the West，” wait for us．

C．attracted D．disappointed
C 解析：词义猜测题。根据上文的and the view of the Chicago skyline never fails to impress．可知，那里的景色从来都是给人留下深刻印象，所以此处的单词意为：被吸引。

One Sunday, I took my daughter to the seaside． On arriving at the beach, I saw JoJo, a wealthy man in hotel business． We sat down to chat in an open air cafe while I watched my daughter enjoy herself on the swings in front of us．
Suddenly, our conversation was interrupted by a stranger, who politely asked permission to speak to me privately． People often want to tell me something about my TV show．
We stood a bit away from my table． He said，“I’m James, the father of a 7-year-old girl who’s very sick． The doctors said that if she was treated in the UK, she would probably survive． But I’m poor, so can you help me, please？”
I stared into the man’s eyes full of tears and asked how I could help． After I went back, JoJo asked me，“What’s wrong？” I told him about it and he was very sorry for that family．
All day I thought about James’s family． I even thought about making a special TV show to raise money for the sick child．
On Monday morning, JoJo walked into my office． Actually, JoJo was very busy, and I never imagined he would have the time to come and see me．
“Please, call the man and tell him I’ll pay all the expenses for the girl’s treatment，” JoJo said with a cheque in his hand．“I’ve been married for 35 years; I wasn’t lucky enough to have a child． Sometimes I feel lonely． I want to help this child．” I picked up the phone to call James．
Now James’s daughter is well and JoJo sometimes goes to visit her． I’m so happy that there are so good people on this earth．

Where Do the Turtles Go?
Every summer, thousands of endangered green sea turtles climb onto beaches around the world． Each mother sea turtle produces 100 or more eggs in a hole, and covers the hole with sand before she swims away．
Two months later, the eggs hatch(孵化), and the baby turtles climb out of the sand and swim into the ocean． They don’t reappear until they have grown as large as dinner plates． Until now, no one knows where the baby turtles go or what they do．
“If we don’t know where these little turtles are, we can’t protect them，” says Kim Reich, who helps solve part of the mystery．
Her teacher, Karen Bjorndal, has studied green sea turtles for more than 30 years． Every year, Bjorndal goes to the Bahamas Islands． Many young sea turtles come here to live and eat at the end of their childhood．
These turtles are the only sea turtles that live as plant eaters． In fact, their name may be a result of what they eat． The turtles don’t look green but they do have green fat． Scientists learned that the turtles eat green sea plants, which may turn their fat green．
Between 2002 and 2004, Bjorndal caught 44 green sea turtles in the Bahamas． After testing them, she found something to support the 20-year-old idea: baby green sea turtles eat meat before they turn to a diet of plants． In fact, they eat animals that live in the open ocean．
Scientists still need to find where exactly green sea turtles grow． We now know that baby green sea turtles are out in the open ocean, but the open ocean is a big place．
“It is really a problem，”says Bjorndal． The discovery may help us do a better job of protecting this sea animal．
【解题导语】 本文介绍了濒临灭绝的绿海龟的生活习性，以及一些科学家为了保护绿海龟而采取的办法。
1．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A．Baby turtles go to the ocean when they are two months old．
B．Mother turtles leave the eggs alone after they produce them．
C．No one knows when turtles appear on the beach．
D．Mother turtles are as large as dinner plates．
B 解析：细节理解题。根据文中的Each mother sea turtle produces 100 or more eggs in a hole, and covers the hole with sand before she swims away．可知，海龟妈妈产蛋之后，用沙子盖上就游走了。故选B项。
2．Kim Reich does research on where baby turtles go because she wants to ________．
A．help her teacher B．prove an idea
C．protect turtles D．become a scientist
C 解析：细节理解题。根据文中的“If we don’t know where these little turtles are, we can’t protect them，”says Kim Reich, who helps solve part of the mystery．可知，Kim Reich寻找海龟宝宝是为了保护它们。
3．What does Karen Bjorndal’s research prove about green sea turtles?
A．The young live in the Bahamas Islands．
B．The young eat meat before turning to a diet of plants．
C．They live in the open ocean for a lifelong time．
D．They are the only sea turtles that live as plant eaters．
B 解析：细节理解题。根据文中的baby green sea turtles eat meat before they turn to a diet of plants可知，绿海龟宝宝先是吃肉，后来才吃植物。
4．What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Finding out where young turtles grow．
B．Protecting this endangered sea animal．
C．Changing young turtles’ eating habits．
D．Living in the open ocean．
A 解析：词义猜测题。根据文中的We now know that baby green sea turtles are out in the open ocean, but the open ocean is a big place．可知，我们现在知道绿海龟宝宝在广阔的海洋中，但是海洋太大了。所以寻找绿海龟宝宝是个大问题。故选A项。

When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity． To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing(代表) one person． Then she easily broke it into two pieces． Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family． She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks． This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up．
Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California． However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn’t have much money． They moved their family to San Francisco． There they joined Danny’s mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop． Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant． The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young． However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard．
Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business． They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles． Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful． Daughter Elizabeth explains，“Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace． Without the strength of the family, there is no business．”
Their expanding business became a large company in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together． Now the Ans’ company makes more than $20 million each year． Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together． Now they are a big success．
【解题导语】 Helene An 在五个女儿小时候就教育她们团结就是力量。后来一家人搬到了加州，没有很多钱的他们和Diana合作建立了一个餐馆，在全家人的共同努力下，他们的家族企业最终发展成为大的企业。

B．Strength Comes from Peace
C．How to Achieve a Big Dream
D．How to Run a Corporation
A 解析：标题归纳题。本文介绍了Helene An从小教育女儿们，“团结就是力量”，最后家人们通力合作把家族企业做大的故事。故A项作为题目很合适。

One Sunday, I took my daughter to the seaside． On arriving at the beach, I saw JoJo, a wealthy man in hotel business． We sat down to chat in an open air cafe while I watched my daughter enjoy herself on the swings in front of us．
Suddenly, our conversation was interrupted by a stranger, who politely asked permission to speak to me privately． People often want to tell me something about my TV show．
We stood a bit away from my table． He said，“I’m James, the father of a 7-year-old girl who’s very sick． The doctors said that if she was treated in the UK, she would probably survive． But I’m poor, so can you help me, please？”
I stared into the man’s eyes full of tears and asked how I could help． After I went back, JoJo asked me，“What’s wrong？” I told him about it and he was very sorry for that family．
All day I thought about James’s family． I even thought about making a special TV show to raise money for the sick child．
On Monday morning, JoJo walked into my office． Actually, JoJo was very busy, and I never imagined he would have the time to come and see me．
“Please, call the man and tell him I’ll pay all the expenses for the girl’s treatment，” JoJo said with a cheque in his hand．“I’ve been married for 35 years; I wasn’t lucky enough to have a child． Sometimes I feel lonely． I want to help this child．” I picked up the phone to call James．
Now James’s daughter is well and JoJo sometimes goes to visit her． I’m so happy that there are so good people on this earth．

Where Do the Turtles Go?
Every summer, thousands of endangered green sea turtles climb onto beaches around the world． Each mother sea turtle produces 100 or more eggs in a hole, and covers the hole with sand before she swims away．
Two months later, the eggs hatch(孵化), and the baby turtles climb out of the sand and swim into the ocean． They don’t reappear until they have grown as large as dinner plates． Until now, no one knows where the baby turtles go or what they do．
“If we don’t know where these little turtles are, we can’t protect them，” says Kim Reich, who helps solve part of the mystery．
Her teacher, Karen Bjorndal, has studied green sea turtles for more than 30 years． Every year, Bjorndal goes to the Bahamas Islands． Many young sea turtles come here to live and eat at the end of their childhood．
These turtles are the only sea turtles that live as plant eaters． In fact, their name may be a result of what they eat． The turtles don’t look green but they do have green fat． Scientists learned that the turtles eat green sea plants, which may turn their fat green．
Between 2002 and 2004, Bjorndal caught 44 green sea turtles in the Bahamas． After testing them, she found something to support the 20-year-old idea: baby green sea turtles eat meat before they turn to a diet of plants． In fact, they eat animals that live in the open ocean．
Scientists still need to find where exactly green sea turtles grow． We now know that baby green sea turtles are out in the open ocean, but the open ocean is a big place．
“It is really a problem，”says Bjorndal． The discovery may help us do a better job of protecting this sea animal．
【解题导语】 本文介绍了濒临灭绝的绿海龟的生活习性，以及一些科学家为了保护绿海龟而采取的办法。
1．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A．Baby turtles go to the ocean when they are two months old．
B．Mother turtles leave the eggs alone after they produce them．
C．No one knows when turtles appear on the beach．
D．Mother turtles are as large as dinner plates．
B 解析：细节理解题。根据文中的Each mother sea turtle produces 100 or more eggs in a hole, and covers the hole with sand before she swims away．可知，海龟妈妈产蛋之后，用沙子盖上就游走了。故选B项。
2．Kim Reich does research on where baby turtles go because she wants to ________．
A．help her teacher B．prove an idea
C．protect turtles D．become a scientist
C 解析：细节理解题。根据文中的“If we don’t know where these little turtles are, we can’t protect them，”says Kim Reich, who helps solve part of the mystery．可知，Kim Reich寻找海龟宝宝是为了保护它们。
3．What does Karen Bjorndal’s research prove about green sea turtles?
A．The young live in the Bahamas Islands．
B．The young eat meat before turning to a diet of plants．
C．They live in the open ocean for a lifelong time．
D．They are the only sea turtles that live as plant eaters．
B 解析：细节理解题。根据文中的baby green sea turtles eat meat before they turn to a diet of plants可知，绿海龟宝宝先是吃肉，后来才吃植物。
4．What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Finding out where young turtles grow．
B．Protecting this endangered sea animal．
C．Changing young turtles’ eating habits．
D．Living in the open ocean．
A 解析：词义猜测题。根据文中的We now know that baby green sea turtles are out in the open ocean, but the open ocean is a big place．可知，我们现在知道绿海龟宝宝在广阔的海洋中，但是海洋太大了。所以寻找绿海龟宝宝是个大问题。故选A项。

When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity． To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing(代表) one person． Then she easily broke it into two pieces． Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family． She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks． This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up．
Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California． However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn’t have much money． They moved their family to San Francisco． There they joined Danny’s mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop． Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant． The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young． However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard．
Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business． They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles． Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful． Daughter Elizabeth explains，“Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace． Without the strength of the family, there is no business．”
Their expanding business became a large company in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together． Now the Ans’ company makes more than $20 million each year． Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together． Now they are a big success．
【解题导语】 Helene An 在五个女儿小时候就教育她们团结就是力量。后来一家人搬到了加州，没有很多钱的他们和Diana合作建立了一个餐馆，在全家人的共同努力下，他们的家族企业最终发展成为大的企业。
5．Helene tied several chopsticks together to show ________．
A．the advantage of chopsticks
B．the difficulty of growing up
C．the strength of family unity
D．the best way of giving a lesson
C 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity． To show this．．．可知，海伦是为了说明“团结就是力量”这个道理。
6．We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the An family ________．
A．started a business in 1975
B．opened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles
C．bought a restaurant in San Francisco
D．left Vietnam without much money
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn’t have much money．可知，他们离开越南时并没有很多钱。
7．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．Family Unity Builds Success
B．Strength Comes from Peace
C．How to Achieve a Big Dream
D．How to Run a Corporation
A 解析：标题归纳题。本文介绍了Helene An从小教育女儿们，“团结就是力量”，最后家人们通力合作把家族企业做大的故事。故A项作为题目很合适。

2．________
Many famous authors prefer writing by hand to the use of a typewriter or computer． Writer Susan Sontag once said that she penned her first drafts(草稿) before typing them up for editing later． She said, “3．________” A 2009 study seems to support Sontag’s preference for writing by hand: Elementary school students who wrote essays with a pen not only wrote more than their keyboard-tapping friends, but they also wrote faster and in more complete sentences．
It will prevent you from being distracted(分心)．
The computer in front of you is really a distraction． 4．________ In 2012, scientists even suggested that taking five-minute breaks to browse Tumblr or BuzzFeed could make you a more productive worker． However, when it’s time to work on that essay, have only a pen and paper in front of you．
It keeps your brain sharp as you get older．
5．________ According to The Wall Street Journal, some physicians say that the act of writing is good exercise for those who want to keep their minds sharp as they age．
A．It makes you a better writer．
B．Writing is good for your brain．
C．Of course, the Internet isn’t all bad．
D．I like the slowness of writing by hand．
E．Try writing by hand at least 20 minutes each day．
F．Many writers have a preference for writing by hand．
G．One of the most effective ways to study is to rewrite your notes by hand．
【解题导语】 本文介绍了用手写作的四个好处。
1．G 解析：根据下一句That’s because putting ink to paper stimulates(刺激) the brain．(那是因为把墨水放在纸上刺激大脑)可知，上句要表达的意思是：学习最有效的方法之一是用手去改写你的笔记。故选G项。
2．A 解析：根据其他标题的开头都用It’s的特点，再根据下文Many famous authors prefer writing by hand to the use of a typewriter or computer．许多著名作家更喜欢用手书写而不是打字机或电脑。可知A项(它使你成为一个更好的作家)符合题意。
3．D 解析：根据下句：一项2009研究似乎支持Sontag的偏爱手写。可知上句的意思是：我喜欢用手写字的缓慢。故选D项。
4．C 解析：根据上句The computer in front of you is really a distraction．在你面前的电脑真的是一种分心。可知，C项(当然，网络并不都是坏的)符合题意。
5．B 解析：根据一些内科医生所说的“写作行为对那些想保持头脑清晰的人来说是一种很好的锻炼”可知，写作对你的大脑是有好处的。符合题意。

Then I remembered a family tradition when our children were small． When leaving their grandparents’ home after a visit, each child would write a note to their grandparents． They hid notes in the cereal(麦片), under a hairbrush, next to the phone or even in the microwave oven． For days, their grandparents would smile as they discovered these signs of our love．
So as I tidied Dad’s kitchen and made up a bed for him downstairs in the living room, I wrote some notes． Some were practical，“Dad, I put the food in the fridge so it wouldn’t spoil．” Some expressed my love，“Dad, I hope you will sleep well in your new bed．”Most notes were downstairs where he would stay for several weeks until he recovered strength, but one note I hid upstairs under his pillow，“Dad, if you have found this one, you must be feeling better． We are so glad．”
Just like his medicine strengthened him physically, these “emotional vitamins”would improve his spiritual health． Several weeks later, in one of our regular phone calls, I asked Dad how he was doing． He said，“Pretty good． I just found your note under my pillow upstairs！”

Most people would say the sea is blue and green． But the people who live near the coast of Zhejiang may say it is red． It is not people who caused the colour change, but very small living thing in the sea． They are algae(藻类)and protozoa(原生动物)． They come in many different colours: red, yellow or brown． Red is the easiest of those to see, so when this happens, people call it a “red tide”．
Red tides only happen when conditions in the sea are right． In the past few years, factories and people have been putting more chemicals into the sea． These chemicals help algae and protozoa to grow very quickly． The temperature of the sea is also important． Red tides usually happen at 20 to 30 degrees Celsius(摄氏度)． Red tides often happen in dry, warm areas where there is little wind． Living things grow easily in these places． Sometimes fishermen help red tides by mistake． They put small sea animals into the water for food to help fish grow．
Those living things do more than change the colour of the water—they also put poison and mucus(黏液)into the sea． This is had for fish． The poison is bad for their brains． And too much mucus in the sea fills up fish’s gills(鳃), so they can’t breathe． Lots of dead fish and other sea animals are now washed up on Chinese beaches．
Red tides can be bad for people, too． We shouldn’t eat fish from red-tide waters． The algae gets inside of fish and it smells bad． It can make your eyes water． If people eat fish with too much algae inside, they could die．
Fishermen in Zhejiang are having a hard time right now． Because of the red tides, they are selling 30% less fresh seafood than usual．
In China, red tides usually happen in May and June around places like Fujian, Guangdong and Hong Kong．
Many other countries sometimes also have red tides． But it seems that we have few ways to stop red tides． They can last as long as 16 months．
1．What can cause the water in the sea to change its colour?
A．Algae． B．Protozoa．
C．Algae and protozoa． D．People and animals．
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中They are algae(藻类) and protozoa(原生动物)． They come in many different colours: red, yellow or brown． Red is the easiest of those to see, so when this happens, people call it a “red tide”．可知，是海洋中的藻类和原生动物造成了海洋呈现的红色现象。故选C。
2．Which of the following is NOT true?
A．Fishermen in the area sell less fresh seafood than usual．
B．People could die if they eat fish with too much algae inside．
C．Eating fish with algae in them can make people’s eyes water．
D．Algae and protozoa can’t give off any poison and mucus into the water．
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中“Those living things do more than change the colour of the water—they also put poison and mucus(黏液) into the sea． This is had for fish． The poison is bad for their brains．And too much mucus in the sea fills up fish’s gills(鳃), so they can’t breathe．”可知，藻类和原生生物会产生一些毒素和黏液，所以D项内容是错误的。故选D。
3．Which of the following is not a cause of red tides?
A．The temperature is at 20 to 30 degrees Celsius．
B．People and factories put more chemicals into the sea．
C．People catch too many fish and eat too much seafood．
D．It is dry and warm and there is little wind in the area．
C 解析：细节理解题。文章的第二段叙述了赤潮产生的几方面的原因。包括在过去的几年里，工厂和人们一直向大海里排放化学物质；赤潮通常发生在20至30摄氏度(摄氏度)；在干燥、温暖、无风的地区会发生赤潮。所以C项内容不包括。故选C。
4．What does the passage mainly tell us?
A．The forming of red tides and their harmfulness．
B．People should do their best to protect the sea．
C．The scientists have found good ways to stop red tides．
D．Don’t eat any fish with algae and mucus inside．
A 解析：主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了发生在浙江海域的赤潮现象。作者从几个方面叙述了赤潮发生的原因、时间以及区域；并且点名了赤潮对于海洋环境、鱼类以及人类造成的危害。故选A。

We arrived at the hospital to find Dad was very weak, but his smile was as sure as ever． It was another attack of pneumonia(肺炎)． My husband and I stayed with him for the weekend but had to return to our jobs on Monday． Local relatives would help Dad get home from the hospital and look after him． But I longed to be able to let him know that we cared too, even when we weren’t with him．
Then I remembered a family tradition when our children were small． When leaving their grandparents’ home after a visit, each child would write a note to their grandparents． They hid notes in the cereal(麦片), under a hairbrush, next to the phone or even in the microwave oven． For days, their grandparents would smile as they discovered these signs of our love．
So as I tidied Dad’s kitchen and made up a bed for him downstairs in the living room, I wrote some notes． Some were practical，“Dad, I put the food in the fridge so it wouldn’t spoil．” Some expressed my love，“Dad, I hope you will sleep well in your new bed．”Most notes were downstairs where he would stay for several weeks until he recovered strength, but one note I hid upstairs under his pillow，“Dad, if you have found this one, you must be feeling better． We are so glad．”
Just like his medicine strengthened him physically, these “emotional vitamins”would improve his spiritual health． Several weeks later, in one of our regular phone calls, I asked Dad how he was doing． He said，“Pretty good． I just found your note under my pillow upstairs！”

Most people would say the sea is blue and green． But the people who live near the coast of Zhejiang may say it is red． It is not people who caused the colour change, but very small living thing in the sea． They are algae(藻类)and protozoa(原生动物)． They come in many different colours: red, yellow or brown． Red is the easiest of those to see, so when this happens, people call it a “red tide”．
Red tides only happen when conditions in the sea are right． In the past few years, factories and people have been putting more chemicals into the sea． These chemicals help algae and protozoa to grow very quickly． The temperature of the sea is also important． Red tides usually happen at 20 to 30 degrees Celsius(摄氏度)． Red tides often happen in dry, warm areas where there is little wind． Living things grow easily in these places． Sometimes fishermen help red tides by mistake． They put small sea animals into the water for food to help fish grow．
Those living things do more than change the colour of the water—they also put poison and mucus(黏液)into the sea． This is had for fish． The poison is bad for their brains． And too much mucus in the sea fills up fish’s gills(鳃), so they can’t breathe． Lots of dead fish and other sea animals are now washed up on Chinese beaches．
Red tides can be bad for people, too． We shouldn’t eat fish from red-tide waters． The algae gets inside of fish and it smells bad． It can make your eyes water． If people eat fish with too much algae inside, they could die．
Fishermen in Zhejiang are having a hard time right now． Because of the red tides, they are selling 30% less fresh seafood than usual．
In China, red tides usually happen in May and June around places like Fujian, Guangdong and Hong Kong．
Many other countries sometimes also have red tides． But it seems that we have few ways to stop red tides． They can last as long as 16 months．
1．What can cause the water in the sea to change its colour?
A．Algae． B．Protozoa．
C．Algae and protozoa． D．People and animals．
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中They are algae(藻类) and protozoa(原生动物)． They come in many different colours: red, yellow or brown． Red is the easiest of those to see, so when this happens, people call it a “red tide”．可知，是海洋中的藻类和原生动物造成了海洋呈现的红色现象。故选C。

D．Algae and protozoa can’t give off any poison and mucus into the water．

3．Which of the following is not a cause of red tides?
A．The temperature is at 20 to 30 degrees Celsius．
B．People and factories put more chemicals into the sea．
C．People catch too many fish and eat too much seafood．

Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious． Most people, and many animals, like eating it． However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees’ nest and take the honey from it． Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them． In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper—a little bird called a honey guide．
The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax(蜂蜡) in the beehives(蜂房)． The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’nest． So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it． The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people． Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest． When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches． Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share．
Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it． The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away． They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit．

If you move to a new school, you’ll have to worry whether or not you’ll make friends． Here are some simple suggestions which help you make new friends a lot easier．
·Try speaking to the people next to you in class． As they’re close by, it makes sense to communicate with them first．
·Have courage to speak to everyone in your class． You will probably stay with that class through your years at the new school, so it helps if you get on with them．
·If you don’t have many friends in your class, try and make new friends in your subject lessons． You can also talk with them at lunchtime and after school．
·Join a lunchtime or after-school club． You’ll get to meet kids of all years that way．
·Ask your teacher to pair you with another pupil．
·Use your celebrity status! Since you’re the new person, you’ll have gained celebrity status, which you can use for a couple of weeks． Talk to people, remember to smile and always be open and friendly． Listen carefully to what others have to say so as to make them feel important．
As you grow older, it’s natural to make new friends and sometimes that means you grow apart from your old friends． So try and make time for all your friends． Why not introduce your different sets of friends so you can all go to the cinema or bowling together?
But what if a friendship group is pushing you out? If this is happening to you, try and ask someone you’re friendly with what is happening． If the whole group is leaving you out, try to find new people to spend time with at lunchtime．

Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone．
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life．“It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone．” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents．
In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging． This is what makes young people travel alone． It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can succeed on their own．
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year． He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures． He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier． “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person，” said the 30-year-old man． Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”， which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”． He said，“The feeling of having conquered (战胜) something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I am dealing with a difficult task． I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try”．
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said，“Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wildness．”

A．you have to make things on your own
B．it is hard for you to prove yourself to others
C．it will finally build your character
D．you can only depend on yourself whatever happens
D 解析：推理判断题。根据文中的In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging．可知，独自旅行是很具有挑战性的，因为事情都是由自己完成。
7．What can we infer about Chris Richardson?

B．He was once shot in the arm．

C．prevent D．keep
B 解析：根据作者说的话可知“我”是情不自禁地问她“为什么不再和我说话”，选B。

If you move to a new school, you’ll have to worry whether or not you’ll make friends． Here are some simple suggestions which help you make new friends a lot easier．
·Try speaking to the people next to you in class． As they’re close by, it makes sense to communicate with them first．
·Have courage to speak to everyone in your class． You will probably stay with that class through your years at the new school, so it helps if you get on with them．
·If you don’t have many friends in your class, try and make new friends in your subject lessons． You can also talk with them at lunchtime and after school．
·Join a lunchtime or after-school club． You’ll get to meet kids of all years that way．
·Ask your teacher to pair you with another pupil．
·Use your celebrity status! Since you’re the new person, you’ll have gained celebrity status, which you can use for a couple of weeks． Talk to people, remember to smile and always be open and friendly． Listen carefully to what others have to say so as to make them feel important．
As you grow older, it’s natural to make new friends and sometimes that means you grow apart from your old friends． So try and make time for all your friends． Why not introduce your different sets of friends so you can all go to the cinema or bowling together?
But what if a friendship group is pushing you out? If this is happening to you, try and ask someone you’re friendly with what is happening． If the whole group is leaving you out, try to find new people to spend time with at lunchtime．

Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone．
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life．“It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone．” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents．
In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging． This is what makes young people travel alone． It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can succeed on their own．
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year． He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures． He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier． “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person，” said the 30-year-old man． Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”， which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”． He said，“The feeling of having conquered (战胜) something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I am dealing with a difficult task． I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try”．
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said，“Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wildness．”

6．Traveling alone is challenging because ________．
A．you have to make things on your own
B．it is hard for you to prove yourself to others
C．it will finally build your character
D．you can only depend on yourself whatever happens
D 解析：推理判断题。根据文中的In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging．可知，独自旅行是很具有挑战性的，因为事情都是由自己完成。
7．What can we infer about Chris Richardson?

定语从句(Ⅱ)
一、关系副词引导定语从句
当先行词在定语从句中作状语时，通常要用关系副词引导定语从句。常用的关系副词有where，when，why等。
1．关系副词where
(1)where引导的定语从句的先行词往往是表示地点的名词(如place，room，house，spot，school，country等)，在从句中作地点状语。
They went into the hall where the meeting was being held． 他们走进正在开会的大厅。
(2)where可以引导非限制性定语从句。
Galileo lived in the city of Pisa, where there is a leaning tower about 180 feet high．
伽利略住在比萨城，那里有座大约180英尺高的斜塔。
(3)关系副词where常可用“介词＋关系代词”构成的表示地点的介词短语代替。
The office where (at which) he works is not far from here． 他工作的办公室离这儿不远。
Japan is the place where (in which) earthquakes frequently happen． 日本是地震频繁爆发的地方。
where引导定语从句和状语从句的区别：引导定语从句时，where是关系副词，在从句中作地点状语，其前有表示地点的名词作先行词，从句修饰先行词；引导状语从句时，where是从属连词，从句修饰主句的谓语动词，where前面没有表示地点的名词。
He’s got himself into a dangerous situation where he is likely to lose control over the plane．(定语从句)
他使自己陷入了一种危险的情况，他很可能会失去对飞机的控制。
When you read the book，you’d better make a mark where you have questions．(状语从句)
读这本书的时候，你最好在有疑问的地方做一下标记。
2．关系副词when
(1)when引导定语从句时，先行词往往是表示时间的名词(如time，day，week，month，year等)，在从句中作时间状语。
He came at a time when I least expected him．
他在我最意料不到的时候来了。
I’ll never forget the day when I left for college with my father． 我永远不会忘记我和父亲动身去大学的那天。
(2)when可以引导非限制性定语从句。
In the old days，when I was a little boy，the city had no industry to speak of．
在过去，那时我还小，这个城市没有工业可言。
(3)关系副词when有时可用“介词＋关系代词”代替。
I still remember the day when(on which)I joined the Youth League． 我仍然记得我加入共青团的那一天。
3．关系副词why
(1)why引导定语从句时，先行词往往是表示原因的词(如reason，explanation，excuse等)，在从句中作原因状语。
Do you know the reason why she burst into tears?
你知道她突然大哭的原因吗？
This is the explanation why he changed the plan．
这是他改变计划的解释。
(2)关系副词why有时可用“介词＋关系代词”代替。
The reason why (for which) he succeeded in the exam is that he worked very hard．
他这次考试成功的原因是他学习非常努力。
4．关系代词和关系副词的选择
当先行词是表示时间的time，day等或表示地点的place，house等时，一定要注意分析从句的结构。如果缺少主语或宾语，应用关系代词that或which，如果缺少时间状语或地点状语，应用关系副词when或where。
His father works in a factory which/that makes radio parts．(which/that在从句中作主语)
他父亲在一家生产无线电零件的工厂里工作。
The house where I lived ten years ago has been pulled down．(where在从句中作地点状语)
我十年前住的房子已经被推倒了。
二、“介词＋which/whom”结构
1．“介词＋which/whom”结构的用法
(1)“介词＋which/whom”在定语从句中作时间、地点、原因状语，相当于关系副词when, where, why。
She still remembers the day on which (＝when) she won the prize．
她仍然记得她获奖的那一天。
(2)“介词(短语)＋which/whom”在定语从句中作目的、方式状语。
There is a big window in my room through which I can see the railway station．
我的房间有一个大窗户，通过它我可以看到火车站。
(3)“不定代词或数词或名词＋of which/whom”在定语从句中作主语。
I read some books, the cover of which are yellow with years．
我读过一些书，它们的封面因为年代久远都变黄了。
(4)“介词＋which/whom”在含被动结构的定语从句中作状语，表示动作的执行者。
The man by whom the little boy was beaten was arrested this morning．
今天上午打小男孩的那个人被逮捕了。
2．关系代词前介词的选择
可以依据定语从句所修饰的名词或代词来选用介词，也可以依据从句的相关动词来选用。
The train on which I’m travelling is for Shanghai．
我乘坐的火车是去上海的。
In the dark street there was not a single person to whom she could turn for help．
在漆黑的街上，没有一个她可以求助的人。
形容词与副词的比较级
1．表示倍数几个句型
(1)倍数＋as＋形容词/副词原级＋as．．．
(2)倍数＋形容词/副词比较级＋than．．．
(3)倍数＋the＋性质名词＋of．．．
(4)The＋名词＋be＋倍数＋what从句
(5)The＋名词＋be＋倍数＋that/those of．．．
At a rough estimate，Nigeria is three times the size of Great Britain．
＝At a rough estimate，Nigeria is three times as big as Great Britain．
＝At a rough estimate，Nigeria is twice bigger than Great Britain．
粗略估算，尼日利亚的面积是大不列颠的3倍。
The output of this year is three times that of 2015．
＝The output of this year is three times what it was in 2015．
今年的产量是2015年的三倍。
2．同级的比较用as．．．as，the same．．．as，such．．．as引导
Mr．Li is as good a teacher as Mr．Zhou；both of them are deeply loved by their students． 李老师与周老师一样慈祥，他们都被他们的学生所深深爱戴。
3．与比较级有关的结构及运用
(1)more and more意为“越来越……”，其后接名词(不可数名词或可数名词复数均可)，也可修饰形容词、副词、介词短语、动词等。
More and more people are concerning themselves with environmental problems． 越来越多的人关心环境问题。
(2)the＋比较级．．．，the＋比较级．．．表示“越……，就越……”。
The harder you work, the more progress you will make．
你越努力，取得的进步就越大。
(3)否定词＋比较级＝最高级
He has never spent a more worrying day．
他过了最担心的一天。
(4)“no＋比较级＋than” 结构
“no＋比较级＋than”结构通常不是表示一般意义的否定，而是表示对两个待比较的对象同时进行否定，通常可理解为 “与……一样不……”。
You are no more careful than he is．
你和他一样不仔细。
4．比较级的修饰语常见的有：
(1)rather，much，still，even，far，any(常用于否定句或疑问句)，a lot，a little，a great deal，by far，a bit等。
(2)还可以用表示倍数的词或度量名词作修饰语。
(3)修饰最高级的有by far，nearly，almost，by no means等。
The bridge being built now is by far the longest across the Yellow River．
现在正在修建的这座桥是迄今为止跨越黄河的最长的桥。
(1)比较的对象应该相同。
The weather here is colder than that of Beijing．
这里的天气比北京的天气冷。
(2)比较的对象不能相互包含，常见的句型是：
比较级＋than＋
The Mississippi River is longer than any other river in the United States．
密西西比河比美国其他任何一条河都长。
(3)注意比较结构中的省略现象。
在日常交际中，彼此都明白的比较对象往往省略。
—What do you think of the film?
——你认为这部电影怎么样？
—I have never seen a better one．(后边省略了than the film)
——我从没有看过更好的一部。
Tom’s composition，if not better(后边省略了than Jack’s)，is at least as good as Jack’s．
汤姆的作文，如果不比杰克的好，至少跟他的一样好。
这种省略现象给考生正确判断造成一定的障碍，在高考中出现频率较高，应引起足够的重视。

如何写调查报告(Ⅰ)
文体感知
一、概述
调查报告是针对某一现象、某一事件或某一问题进行深入细致的调查，对获得材料进行认真分析研究，发现本质特征和基本规律之后写成的书面报告。在英语书面表达训练中，我们经常会遇到这一类写作题，要求同学们根据调查结果，对某种现象进行分析并谈谈自己的看法，写一份调查报告。
二、具体写作步骤和写作方法
写调查报告要写明调查的原因、调查过程、调查结果以及你得出的结论。一般而言，写调查报告时要从以下几个方面进行分析和写作：
首先，根据题目中所给的现象和问题做一些客观的介绍，通常使用的时态是一般现在时。这类题目一般会给出一个图表，列举一些数据或一些事实。我们首先要描述这个图表中的信息。常见的写作方法有：
(1)按调查的先后顺序逐点写；
(2)按事物发展的阶段来写；
(3)将两种事物进行对比，以显示其是非、优劣，找出其差异来写；
(4)按调查对象的特点分门别类来写。
其次，分析这些数据或事实反映出的问题。这部分不是调查报告的主体，通常用一两句话阐述就可以。但要做到“一针见血”，即观点提炼准确、鲜明。
最后，通常在文章的最后一段阐述作者个人的看法和建议。
常用句式
1．According to a survey．．．
2．I’ve made a survey and find that．．．
3．A recent study shows that．．．
4．As far as I know．．．
5．Some．．．while some．．．
6．I think．．．
7．In my opinion．．．
8．I hope．．．
9．I advise that．．．
写作要求

70%的同学赞成住校
30%的同学反对住校
1．有利于培养我们良好的学习和生活习惯；
2．节约了时间；
3．可与老师及同学充分交流，有利于共同进步
1．学校餐厅无法满足多样需求；
2．学生住校不利于了解外界信息；
3．和家人交流少
注意：1．词数100左右；
2．文章的开头已为你写好，不计入总词数。

70% of us are in favor of it as living on campus can help develop a good habit of studying and living, because they can spend less time on the way to school and home and can consult teachers and discuss with classmates，which will contribute to their improvement．
However，30% of them are against it for the reasons below: the school canteen can’t meet the various needs of students and they will have little chance to get in touch with society． Without parents’ accompanying，they communicate less with them．
Personally，I think it’s necessary to live on campus because we can live，study and play together happily．

阅读理解
A
I ran into a local store today to pick up a few things． With an important meeting to attend, I was in a hurry, so I didn’t take a cart on my way inside． As I walked between the shelves in the store, I passed by a young couple and their baby． I continued going through the store, picked up a few items I needed and ended up standing behind this couple in the checkout line．
While waiting, I noticed that the young father was holding his money tightly and nervously． The young mother was carrying a baby in her arms and asked the cashier for a job application．
When the total was rung up, they had to pick items out of their cart because they didn’t have enough money． But all their items were basic necessities(必需品) that they needed most． It just broke my heart to watch the couple try to think about what they could do without． However, they were able to whittle__down their items and paid the bill with the money that they had．
After they left, I quietly asked the cashier to add those items to mine． The cashier rang everything up, and then got me a shopping cart． We put in their items and I hurried over to their car．“This is for you，”I told them．
The young father just looked at me with such appreciation and thanked me． I will never forget the expression in his eyes． As I was getting into my car, they drove over． The young mother said，“Miss, thank you so much．”
Tears welled up in my eyes—as they are again now, while I write this．“You are so welcome． Pay it forward some day，”I replied．

The morning had been a disaster． My tooth was aching，and I’d been in an argument with a friend． Her words still hurt：“The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place． Can’t you see things from my point of view？”I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth． I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday，but the pain was really unbearable． I started calling the dentists in the phone book，but no one could see me immediately． Finally，at about lunchtime，I got lucky．
“If you come by right now，”the receptionist said，“the dentist will fit you in．”
I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car． But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist． What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice？Why wasn’t he as busy as the others?
In the dentist’s office，I sat down and looked around． I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried． The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one．
When I told her my fears，she laughed and said，“Don’t worry． The dentist is very good．”
“How long do I have to wait for him？”I asked impatiently．
“Come on，he is coming． Just lie down and relax． And enjoy the artwork，”the assistant said．
“The artwork？”I was puzzled．
The chair went back． Suddenly I smiled． There was a beautiful picture，right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling． How considerate the dentist was！At that moment，I began to understand what my friend meant by her words． What a relief!

For many years, artists have flocked to Paris, France, to paint or to learn to paint． Perhaps artists first went there because of the city’s beauty． They went to paint pictures of the broad, tree-lined streets, the great churches, and the graceful river bridges．
The artists felt comfortable in Paris because the people of the city had always enjoyed art． Paris had great art museums, filled with famous paintings and statues(雕像) from many countries． And the people of Paris had always welcomed new ideas．In this city, artists felt free to experiment with new ways of painting． As soon as famous artists painted in Paris, students came to learn from them． People came to buy paintings． People called art dealers set up galleries where paintings were bought and sold．Others kept shops that sold artists’ paints and supplies．
Students and artists who were not yet famous could live in Paris for very little money． They learned by studying great art in the museums, and they learned from one another． They held art fairs, hanging their paintings outdoors along the streets．
Today, New York City and Florence, Italy, are also famous art centers． But the world’s main art exhibits are still held in Paris． Important judges of art live there． Most of the new ways of painting that have started in the last hundred years began in Paris．So artists and art dealers still go to Paris because it is the world’s leading art center．
1．In Paris artists can make progress in art by doing lots of things EXCEPT________．
A．painting the beautiful scenes of Paris
B．visiting museums, churches and fairs
C．trying out their new ideas in the way of painting
D．buying or selling paintings in the fair

2．The story does not say so, but it makes you think that________．
A．Paris is famous for its artists’ paints and supplies
B．there is more than one way to paint
C．art fairs are held in galleries
D．Florence is the center of world art exhibits

3．Which of the following statements is NOT a reason why so many artists prefer to stay in Paris?
A．Paris is a beautiful city．
B．The French are willing to accept any new things．
C．All the museums are free of charge in Paris．
D．Artists can make an easier life in Paris．

A．the world’s most famous art center
B．how to buy a painting in Paris

It was a bad time for me． I was low emotionally(感情上) and tired physically． Probably because of this I hadn’t shaved(刮胡子) for a few days． Also, because I had been doing some repairs at my daughter’s house, I was dressed quite scruffily． Boarding the bus to go home, I saw it was almost full so I found a rail to lean against．
That was when a young woman, sitting with her child, stood up and offered me her seat． “Wow！” I thought． Out loud I said, “Do I look that old and tired？” She replied，“You look like you’ve had a tough day．” I thanked her sincerely and stayed standing．
A moment later a man rose from his seat at the back of the bus and made his way towards me, squeezing past several people on the way． Then he told me about his addiction problems, asked for my advice, and just chatted about life for a few minutes． Then he went back to his seat． Very random!
Watching him go, I also looked at the bus-load of people between me and his seat． He hadn’t chosen to talk to those strangers． He chose to talk to this__stranger,__for whatever it meant to him and whatever comfort it brought him． Why?
That’s when it occurred to me． I must have looked like I had been where he was． I probably looked like a man who would understand a difficult life． I was humbled and uplifted at the same time by the realization that even when we are at our lowest we can still help others—if we look like we might be able to meet them where they live or walk a while in their world．
【解题导语】 本文讲述了作者在心情不好的时候，乘坐公交车时他依然帮助了一个男人。作者发现我们在最低沉的时候依然可以帮助他人。
5．Why did the young woman offer her seat to the writer?

6．What can we learn about the man from Paragraph 3?
A．He was an acquaintance of the writer．
B．He felt familiar with the writer．
C．He might took drugs heavily．
D．He lacked confidence in life．

7．The underlined words “this stranger” in Paragraph 4 probably refer to“________．”
A．the young woman B．one passenger
C．the writer D．the driver
C 解析：词义猜测题。由文章第三段和第四段内容可知，那位男士径直从车后通过拥挤的人群来到作者身边求助，而没有向其他陌生人求助，对他而言作者同样是陌生人，所以此处的this stranger指代的是作者。故选C。
8．Which of the following may be the best title for the text?
A．Unusual Appearance Interests Strangers
B．Meet Them Where They Live
C．Small Talks Make a Difference
D．Accept What They Are
B 解析：标题归纳题。根据最后一段I was humbled and uplifted at the same time by the realization that even when we are at our lowest we can still help others—if we look like we might be able to meet them where they live or walk a while in their world．可知B为正确答案，其他选项文章中未涉及。故选B。

One possible version：
Should We Celebrate Western Festivals?
In__recent__years,__western__festivals__are__popular__in__China．__But__should__we__Chinese__people__celebrate__western__festivals?
Most people are in favor of it． They believe that the celebration of western festivals can make our life more colorful and romantic, which helps our traditional cultures fresh and active． Besides, it provides a good chance for us to communicate with others and develop our relationships．
However, other people hold different views．First of all，they argue that some young people pay more attention to western festivals than our traditional ones, which will die out if not protected well． What’s worse, many people are not clear about the western festivals and they just create a mess．
As far as I am concerned, we should not resist western festivals． But I do hope the government will encourage people to celebrate Chinese traditional festivals in creative and colorful ways．

I ran into a local store today to pick up a few things． With an important meeting to attend, I was in a hurry, so I didn’t take a cart on my way inside． As I walked between the shelves in the store, I passed by a young couple and their baby． I continued going through the store, picked up a few items I needed and ended up standing behind this couple in the checkout line．
While waiting, I noticed that the young father was holding his money tightly and nervously． The young mother was carrying a baby in her arms and asked the cashier for a job application．
When the total was rung up, they had to pick items out of their cart because they didn’t have enough money． But all their items were basic necessities(必需品) that they needed most． It just broke my heart to watch the couple try to think about what they could do without． However, they were able to whittle__down their items and paid the bill with the money that they had．

A．the young woman B．one passenger
C．the writer D．the driver
C 解析：词义猜测题。由文章第三段和第四段内容可知，那位男士径直从车后通过拥挤的人群来到作者身边求助，而没有向其他陌生人求助，对他而言作者同样是陌生人，所以此处的this stranger指代的是作者。故选C。
8．Which of the following may be the best title for the text?
A．Unusual Appearance Interests Strangers
B．Meet Them Where They Live
C．Small Talks Make a Difference
D．Accept What They Are
B 解析：标题归纳题。根据最后一段I was humbled and uplifted at the same time by the realization that even when we are at our lowest we can still help others—if we look like we might be able to meet them where they live or walk a while in their world．可知B为正确答案，其他选项文章中未涉及。故选B。

One possible version：
Should We Celebrate Western Festivals?
In__recent__years,__western__festivals__are__popular__in__China．__But__should__we__Chinese__people__celebrate__western__festivals?
Most people are in favor of it． They believe that the celebration of western festivals can make our life more colorful and romantic, which helps our traditional cultures fresh and active． Besides, it provides a good chance for us to communicate with others and develop our relationships．
However, other people hold different views．First of all，they argue that some young people pay more attention to western festivals than our traditional ones, which will die out if not protected well． What’s worse, many people are not clear about the western festivals and they just create a mess．
As far as I am concerned, we should not resist western festivals． But I do hope the government will encourage people to celebrate Chinese traditional festivals in creative and colorful ways．
