【2016苏州市吴中区调研测试一】 If you saw a group of kids hitting and abusing(虐待，伤害)an animal, would you stop them? Would you at least call the police? Again people would walk away. Some people do not believe that animal abuse is a big issue(问题).
Every day animals are abused in their homes or on the streets. It seems as if politicians(从政者)do nothing to stop this issue. Everyone is worried about education and global warming. What about animals? We should not forget them just because they cannot talk to us. Animals, like us humans, have rights. Every living being has the right to warm shelter and good food, but most importantly, they have the right to be wanted and loved. They have the right to be a special, much loved member of their own family.
There are many organizations that deal with abused animals or animals that have no home like ASPCA, PETA, the Humane Society and many more. There are organizations that deal with this issue, but that does not mean that we still shouldn't help. The biggest saying that bothers me is, "I am only one person. I can't make a difference." If everyone thought like that, we wouldn't have the organizations and loving people who help the world every day. By helping one animal, you are making a difference.
There are many things you can do right now to help animals around your neighbourhood. You can volunteer at your local animal shelter, raise money for animal shelters, inform your community about animal abuse or you can write to your representatives(代

Nowadays, the computer has become a very useful tool to help people to write. As people use computers more often than before, many people have forgotten how to write Chinese characters(字)．People often make a lot of mistakes in writing.

On the other hand, they can easily type out the character on a computer.

【2016无锡市锡山区一模】We often praise the world of science. It explains the world and makes our lives easier with technology. One of the most exciting fields in science is artificial intelligence (人工智能，AI). This is an area where scientists are working on creating machines that think like humans.
However，one of the most famous scientists has a very dark warning for us about this type of technology.
“The development of full artificial intelligence could lead to the end of the human race,” said Professor Stephen Hawking to the BBC.
Hawking is a well-known British Physicist and writer of bestselling science book A Brief History of Time. This warning came from a serious disease called ALS; he needs an AI computer to communicate. The computer learns how Hawking thinks and suggests the words he may want to use next.
This is a basic type of AI, which is very useful, yet Hawking fears the possibility of creating technology that can match or go beyond human intelligence. And it’s easy to imagine how terrible things may be. Many TV shows and films display big, killer machines that are far cleverer than us. “Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution(进化), couldn’t compete, ” said Hawking.
But not every scientist is pessimistic(悲观的)about AI technology. “I believe we will remain in charge of（掌控) the technology. “ The potential(潜力)of it to solve many of the world problems will be realized.” In what direction do you think AI is going? Should we be hopeful or fearful?
28.
Which of the following is TRUE about AI？
A. The technology is not very popular now. B. Scientists haven’t controlled the technology. C. It is now much smarter than humans. D. It makes our lives easier.
29.
The writer took Hawking as an example to ____________.
A. explain how AI has helped us
B. show the great hidden use of AI
C. show AI has already become part of our life
D. suggest that AI become dangerous for humans

【2016无锡市锡山区一模】Maybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives. Giving someone all your love never means that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return; but if it does not, be glad it grows in yours.
It takes an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Do not depend on one's appearance, it may not be true. Do not depend on wealth, even that disappears slowly. Depend on someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug(拥抱) them.
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials(尝试) to make you strong, enough sadness to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.
Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.
The happiest people do not necessarily give the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness waits for those who cry, those who have been hurt, those who have searched,
and those who have tired, for only they can enjoy the importance of people who have touched their lives.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
31. If you put yourself in another's position, ___________.
A. you should depend on wealth
B. you shouldn't do those things that will hurt you and other people
C. you will do what you want to do however dangerous it is to people
D. you should depend on other people.
32. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. If you give someone your love, you are sure that she will give her love to you in return.
B. We often don’t know what we have lost until it happens.
C. If someone accepts your love and he doesn’t give you his love in return, you should be angry with him.
D. If it takes you an hour to love someone, you will easily forget her.

B. can live happily and forget the past
C. does good to the people and wins their respect

【2016济南市天桥区二模】These days, the food that you buy comes from lots of different countries. When you go to the supermarket, you will see some kinds of fruits and vegetables you have never seen before. Have a look in your kitchen, fridge, cupboard and fruit bowl and check where the food comes from. Perhaps there are apples from California, lamb from New Zealand, or potatoes from Egypt. You will probably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plate. This journey, from field to plate, is called food miles. A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmer's field to the person who buys the food. Nowadays, food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer(消费者). Why is this, and what are the influences of these long distances?
Traditionally, farmers sold their food in the local market, so the food didn't have to travel very far. The consumers also did not travel very far because they went to their local market to buy the food. This was a good system for farmers and consumers. However, there were some disadvantages. For example, consumers could only buy food that farmers produced locally. In addition, they could only get food that was in season. Now, because of modern technology, food comes from all over the world. We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes. They are available in winter if we want.
Some countries have to import(进口) most of their food. This is because they have difficult climates. The United Arab Emirates(UAE), for example, gets 85% of its food from other countries. Even food made in the UAE often uses imported materials.
What's wrong with food miles？ Is this not a good way of increasing international trade? I believe these miles are worrying for a number of reasons. First of all, because food travels such long distances, we need more planes, trucks, and ships to move the food. This means we use more oil or gas, so there is more pollution and more global warming. In addition, food that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tasty. Tomatoes, for example, are picked early and stored for their long journeys. For this reason, they are usually tasteless when they get to the consumer. Local food has a better taste, and it also reduces(减少) the amount of global pollution. We need to buy more local food.
81. According to this passage, food miles means_______________.
A. the origins of the food
B. the influences of longs distances
C. the journey from field to plate
D. the disadvantages of imported food
82. Some countries, like the UAE, have to import most of their food because of______．
A. long distances
B. difficult climates
C. fresh and tasty food
D. modern technology

A. use imported food often

D. buy more local food
84.According to the passage ,which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A. At present, food often travels a long way to get to the consumers.
B. The United Arab Emirates gets its food from other countries completely.
C. Because of modern technology, it’s easy to import food from all over the world
D. If we use more oil or gas to carry food, it can cause pollution and more global warming.
85. This passage is mainly talking about ________．
A. how local food travels from field to your plate
B. where different kinds of food come from
C. how and why some countries import their food

【2016南京市浦口区一模】Why would someone decide to stop eating? We know that the body needs food in order to work well. However, many people fast at some time during their lives. Why is this?
Some people fast for political reasons. In the early 20th century, women in England and the United States weren’t allowed to vote. So many women went on fast. They hoped that fasting would bring attention to it. Mohandas Gandhi, the famous Indian leader, fasted 17 times during his life. For Gandhi, fasting was a powerful political tool. In 1943, he fasted to bring attention to his country’s need for independence. For 21 days, he went without food. Another famous faster was Cesar Chavez. In the 1960s, he fasted for three weeks. Why? His goal was to bring attention to the terrible working conditions of farm workers in the United States.
Fasting is also a practice in many religions(宗教). Every year during the month of Ramadan, which is a religious holiday, Muslims(穆斯林) fast from sunrise to sunset. Many Indians fast at special time, and there was also a fasting holiday in ancient China.
Of course, not everyone fasts for political or religious reasons. People sometimes fast just because it makes them feel better. The American writer Mark Twain thought fasting was the best medicine for common illnesses. Whenever he had a cold or a fever, he stopped eating completely.

【2016内蒙古满洲里市模拟卷】Different countries have different customs. When you travel to another country, please follow these customs, just as the saying goes, “__________________.”
Very often people who travel to the United States forget to tip（付小费）. It is usual to tip porters who help carry your bags, taxi drivers and waiters. Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers expect about the same amount.
In England, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It’s important to respect lines there. It’s a good idea to talk about the weather. It’s a favorite subject of conversation with the British.
In Spain , it’s a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for dinner. People have dinner very late, and restaurants do not generally open until after 9 pm.
In Arab countries, men kiss one another on the cheek. Your host may welcome you with a kiss on both cheeks. It’s polite for you to do the same.
In Japan , people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time. When a person gives you a card, don’t put it into your pocket right away. The person expects you to read it.
Don’t forget to be careful of your body language to express something in a conversation. A kind of body language that is used in one culture may be impolite in another.

【2016内蒙古满洲里市模拟卷】DNA is the whole “map” of the human body. It is something that all humans have, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our parents, because we get some of their DNA to make our own.
People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In 1860, Mr. Mendel discovered why we look similar to other people in our family. It is because of small things called “genes”（基因）in our body. In 1953, two scientists, Watson and Crick, found out that those small parts are real messages. They are written in the DNA with a special language.
In 1961, another two scientists found the first “word” that they could understand in that language. It shows how DNA tells the cell（细胞）to build its parts. So far, scientists have found all the words in the DNA map, but we still do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one “word” means, we can help to save people from several illnesses. So the more we understand, the more doctors will be able to do.
Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine to help sick people. Other people worry that when we learn more “words” and find out more information , we will use it in the wrong way, just to make people more attractive（有吸引力的）, or stop sick people getting jobs.

【2016江苏扬州市直二模】If you’ve been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with net pals(网友), you have become one of the millions who write in a special, short form of English.
Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are “talking” online — many of them are talking at the same time.
It’s fast: trying talking to six people once. It’s convenient: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness, concentration and quick fingers.
And it requires very simple language. There’s neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste valuable time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB (=be right back) will do?
Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (=pardon me for jumping in).
Interested in whom you’re talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pal’s age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal.
If something makes you laugh, say you’re OTF (=on the floor), or LOL (=laughing out loud), or join the two into ROTFL (=rolling on the floor laughing).
And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got to go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).
People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feeling, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and use capitals. Punctuation is going too.
35. When people are online, they talk by ______.
A. using body language
B. drawing some strange pictures
C. making phone calls
D. making use of a special short form of English

【2016江苏扬州市直二模】Around 200 years ago, a well-known English poet called John Keats attacked science. He said that British scientist Isaac Newton had unweaved(拆解) the rainbow. Newton explained how light forms a rainbow. For Keats, this explanation meant rainbows could no longer be beautiful. This is just one example of many. We often hear people talk of problems with science, or say that it is boring. Some people, like Keats, also say that science takes away the beauty of the world. But is this fair?
First of all, science helps us get things done. We need to study science to produce certain kinds of people. After all, where would we be without engineers and doctors? When you are studying science in school, remember that one day you might be using that knowledge to build a bridge, or save a life. Next time you use your phone to send a message, remember that this is possible thanks to science. When Keats criticized(批判) Newton, the very paper he wrote on was created through science.
Beyond helping society and getting things done, science also makes us think in a certain way. It asks us to believe things only through evidence. It teaches us never to trust our assumptions(假设). It teaches us that sometimes, the truth is stranger than fiction.
When you study science, remember what it means. Science has changed the world, and it can change you too. Humans once looked up at rainbows, and said that they were beautiful. Science explained them, and they were no longer recondite to us.
But discovery never stops. Through science, we can find new rainbows: mysteries that lie beyond the stars themselves.
39. Why did John Keats criticize Newton around 200 years ago?
A. Because he was angry that Newton didn’t like rainbows.
B. Because he didn’t believe what Newton said about rainbows.
C. Because he thought Newton’s explanation took away the beauty of rainbow.
D. Because he thought rainbows would disappear because of Newton’s explanation.
40. Which of the following is the way science makes us think?
A. Believing things only through evidence.
B. Believing what we see with our eyes.
C. Believing what is said in books

D. Believing things are beautiful.

【2016江苏扬州市直二模】Can you touch your belly button(肚脐) by reaching behind your back and around your waist(腰)?
Popular among many young Chinese female users on Weibo, the topic --- which translates as “reaching your belly button from behind to show your good figure” ----was mentioned more than 130 million times among Weibo readers.
It not only led to over 104,000 active discussions, but also brought about the care about what means a healthy body image.
“Look! Success. More than four hours but I’ve finally reached my belly button,” said Weibo user GayleRabbit.
Another user Lucy said, “Why does my belly button suddenly look and feel completely new?”,
While the trend was popular with many female users on Weibo, a photo uploaded by a male blogger caught people’s eyes. “Is this pose really that difficult? I don't think so,” said Weibo user Sough Sa. His photo showing he was trying to touch his belly button drew 2,634 likes and was shared more than 8,452 times.
“I always support failures. Now I don't feel so bad about not being able to touch my belly button.” said another user Jacket. “Do we need to have flexible(柔韧的) arms or a skinny waist to achieve it?” asked Weibo user Chantilly623.
But some experts argued that China’s new belly button trend was actually distoring(歪曲) society's standards of beauty.
“These poses and pictures can be fun but sometimes they also become an expression of competitiveness,” said Jolene Tan, Programmes and Communications Senior Manager at Aware, a non-governmental organization in Singapore championing women's rights.
However, experienced body trainers say the new trend is about flexibility of the arm and the size of the waist, rather than a good figure. A skinny person with fewer muscles(肌肉) has a better chance of achieving the pose.
43. Between which two paragraphs can the following sentence be put in ?------“A new social
trend(趋势) has started in China, with thousands of netizens facing the challenge and
uploading photographs of themselves to show off their bodies”
A. Para 1 and Para 2

C. Para 7 and Para 8 D. Para 9 and Para 10

【2016江苏扬州市江都区一模】When you’re not at home, many worries may start to crowd your mind. Did I turn the coffee maker off? Did I lock the door? Are the kids doing their homework or watching television? With a smart home, you can quiet all of these worries.
A smart home is a home with a communication network. This network connects devices(装置), such as lights and TV sets, and allows them to be controlled from far away through electrical wiring, mobile phone communication or WiFi over the Internet.
More and more people may start to consider owning a smart home, because it makes life much more convenient. It can help keep your room at a certain temperature. It can record what happens inside the home and send the video to your phone. When you are on vacation abroad, you can use a smart home controller to switch on or off the electricity when necessary. Some smart homes can receive a visitor, allowing him to come in and offering him a drink. They can even feed the cat and water the plants.
Besides, smart homes are easy to fix. Most smart home technology and devices are wireless and can be set up with a minimum of tools, using only the guiding information. When a problem appears, you can deal with it yourself without paying a professional.
However, for home-users, the smart home technology is far from perfect. It can be rather expensive to own the technology and the devices. Also, because the smart home system allow its owner to get home information from anywhere, it leaves the home easy to be attacked by hackers, who may secretly use or change the information in the system.
Now, many scientists are excited at the future of smart home technology. Imagine being able to get fashion advice from your mirror, or receive food shopping suggestions from your refrigerator.

【2016江苏扬州市邗江区一模】 New Technology Revolut
ionizes(变革) Learning
More and more people believe that technologies are great for learning. Today, such teaching tools as iPads are used in a lot of courses, including language, history and science.
Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much more time
for discussion in the classroom. Instead of spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos, students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.
The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at their own pace. Some students might listen to a dialogue only once and understand
it, so they can save time for doing other things. Other students, however, might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it. Using iPads is especially helpful to students who are learning a language at different paces.
The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn (such as listening to stories and watching movies). The class has become much more interesting and creative.
There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they can pay more attention to the material and learn more. Teaching notes are stored in their iPads and are easy to find .Some students spend more time studying now. “I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait until I get home,” a student explained.
Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads are doing harm to students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other. If a student spends more time watching videos on an iPad, he will have fewer opportunities to have face-to-face communication with others.
However, technologies are already a part of most students’ day-to-day lives. As for cheating, teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make changes with the times as technology is playing an important part. We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.
42.What does the expression “at their own pace” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. According to their own timetable. B. Without their teachers’ help.
C. Because of their wonderful goals. D. Against their parents’ hope.
43. From the passage we can learn that____.
A. students with iPads have less discussion in class
B. students get more fun from learning with iPads
C. iPads help students save time waiting for buses
D. iPads prevent students from cheating in exams
44. The writer probably agrees that____.
A. teachers can take control of students’ learning
B. exam results depend a lot on now technology
C. technology in education has a bright future

【2016江苏宿迁市中考模拟】If you think GM(转基因) food sounds far away from you, you are totally wrong. In fact, you may eat GM food every day. Four of every five people in the world are eating GM food, according to the Ministry of Agriculture.
According to Xinhua News Agency, in China, the only GM plants that are grown for sale are cotton and papaya. Also, China buys some GM plants from other countries, such as soybeans（大豆）and corn. The GM plants are used to make other products.
A reporter once said, “In China, more than half of cooking oil is soybean oil. And 90 percent of that oil is made from GM soybeans.” So it’s possible that we eat GM food every day!
Scientists have changed GM plants’ DNA in a laboratory. Scientists usually do this to protect plants against bugs and diseases and have more harvests. Many people think it’s against nature. Also, they worry that eating such food might be bad for their health.
Is GM food safe? There’s no agreement. Some people say that GM food causes tumors. But there are no long-term safety studies about GM food. If you want to stay away from GM food, you can start by checking the cooking oil in your home.
( ) 54. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, _____ of people in the world aren’t eating GM food.

【2016江苏苏州市一模】Forgiving (宽恕) someone who has hurt you or let you down is never an easy thing. Several new studies, however, say that it could have a lot of health benefits (好处). When you think of forgiveness, you probably don’t think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford University, on the other hand, show that something like anger can change your well-being.
When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk get angry, they change colours and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is less clear and may be more dangerous. That’s why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Forgiveness Project and writer of Forgive for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea.
The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less sadness or hopelessness. They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping.
So it doesn’t matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath or thought can help. Or just ask yourself if it’s worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else.
Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say it’s OK. Instead, it’s a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past.
29. The writer of the passage tries to make his point clear by ______.
A. mentioning some studies
B. sharing his own experience
C. raising some questions
D. mentioning some health problems
30. The example of the cartoon book characters is taken in the passage to ______.
A. show how to control oneself
B. introduce a famous professor
C. support his point on anger and hatred
D. tell the readers cartoon characters are powerful when
they get angry
31. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?
A. It’s not easy to know if you are angry.
B. People who are able to forgive feel less tired.
C. It’s hard to forgive someone who hurts you.
D. You can let your anger go by breathing deeply.

A. Forgiving Others Is Hard
B. Anger Is Bad for Health

【2016吉林省东北师大附中一模】How can you use the power of “Because I can”? Here are a few ways to use this active thinking in all kinds of fields of your own life.
Be More Active
Whether it is to get to the store or work, or if it is climbing the stairs instead of taking the elevator, remembering a “Because I can” idea is an easy way to add more activity to your life. Break the “I’m tired.” or “It is too hard.” or “It is too far.” rule. Increasing your activity level will give you useful things.
Try Something New
It is easy for us to make excuses for why we shouldn’t try new things. Maybe you think it is out of your own mind. Maybe it seems too difficult. Reminding yourself that “You Can” try something new will help you find new things about yourself and possible new interests.
Reach for the Stars
No matter how old you are, setting new goals and dreaming makes life more interesting. Whether it is professional or personal, find new ways to learn and to grow. Pushing yourself to be the best will give you a taste of success. And you’ll never feel bored.
Speak Up
Often, we can become pleased in our lives, going through a rule and not paying attention to things that trouble us or make us unhappy. You have a voice. Use that voice “because you can”. Talking to loved ones, classmates, and even your teacher about how you feel, what your needs are and what you are. And you’ll be truer to yourself, specially making you a happier life.

【2016唐山市路北区一模】 Many people say that they are working too many hours. They don’t have enough time to relax or to stay with their family.
Work hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker.
Why do people work so many hours? Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies don’t pay overtime. Their workers don’t get more pay for more work. Some people think it’s their duty to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don’t work more hours.
Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days. In Great Britain, there is a saying, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull(迟钝的) boy.” If that is true, there must be a lot of dull people in the world.

【2016唐山市路北区一模】Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don’t talk. Gestures(身势语) are the “silent language” of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say．It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood.
In the United States，people greet each other with a handshake in a formal(正式的) introduction．The handshake must be firm(紧张的)．If the handshake is weak，it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness．
Friends may place a hand on the other’s arm or shoulder．Some people，usually women，greet a friend with a hug．
Space is important to Americans．When two people talk to each other，they usually stand about two and a half feet away and at an angle(角)，so they are not facing each other directly．Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close．They will move back to have their space．If Americans touch another person by accident，they say “Pardon me” or “Excuse me”．
Americans like to look at the other person in the eyes when they are talking．If you don’t do so，it means you are bored，hiding something，or are not interested．But when you stare at someone，it is not polite．
For Americans，thumbs-up means yes，very good，or well done．Thumbs-down means the opposite．To call a waiter，raise one hand to head level or above．To show you want the check，make a movement with your hands as if you are signing a piece of paper．It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger(食指)．Americans shake their index finger at children when they scold(责骂) them and pat them on the head when they admire them．

【2016石家庄四模】There are many wetlands（湿地）in China and some of them have become the world’s important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and (milu deer) animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve（自然保护区）in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red-Crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.
The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife(野生生物). Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.
Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands. (red-crowned crane)

【2016石家庄五模】You may have known several kinds of police, traffic police, and street police. But have you ever heard of energy-saving(节能) policemen ?
A group of 22 of these new policemen went to work last week in Beijing. They go around the city to see the use of energy in hotels, office buildings, shopping centers and on the public places. One of their aims is to make sure that these sites have set their air conditioning(空调) no cooler than 26 ℃.
They also set up a special phone line so that people can tell them which buildings fail to follow the rule.
“If everyone sets their air conditioning at 26 ℃, Beijing will save 400 million kilowatt-hours of electricity in one summer. That’s one-third of all the usage of the city in the season,” said a TV advertisement.
Other Chinese cities, like Wuhan in Hubei Province and Yangzhou in Jiangsu Province, are going to follow Beijing’s steps in setting up a similar police team.
As one of the fastest developing countries, China is using a lot of energy. This has a great effect on the country’s environment and limited energy.
From 1986 to 2005, the country experienced 20 warm winters continuously. Numbers show that Chinese cities have to spend billion of yuan solving(解决) environmental problems every year.
At the beginning of this month, China made its first action plan to fight pollution. It aims to reduce energy usage by 20％ and increase renewable energy up to 10％ from 7％ by 2010.
To introduce the public to a green life, last week Beijing held a show on energy-saving technology and productions. Environment-friendly machines, such as a vending machine that helps colllect used bottles, have attracted lots of attention.
“We want to tell people that there are certain ways to protect the environment. Each of us can find effective ways to do it in our daily lives,” said Liu Qianguang, an environmental engineer in Beijing.
(

【2016石家庄五模】A popular shopping bag has been seen on the arm of some of the world’s most beautiful women. It sells at an official price of ￡5, but as much as ￡400 online. The bag called “I’m Not a Plastic Bag” is made of cotton. It is so “hot” that now everyone wants to get one. It’s fashionable, and it’s green!
Supporters see the bag as a way to move away from throwaway(一次性的) plastic bags that are given away in large numbers by supermarkets every year.
When the bags were first sold, about 500 people waited in line to buy one. So far, 20,000 of the popular bags have been sold at the second largest supermarket in Great Britain. It is one of the ways to encourage shoppers to use the reusable(可再利用的) bags, rather than the plastic ones.
The bag has also become a must-have for many famous people who want to be fashionable, and at the same time care about the environment.

The action shows support for the Beijing Olympic Games from users in China or abroad. More than 2.3 million people had taken part in the action. The big rise of Chinese patriotism(爱国热情)is caused by Western reaction(反应)to the Olympic torch replay. Many Chinese think the reports of the recent riots in Tibet by some Western media(媒体)are not true.

【2016邯郸市一模】Many of us enjoy watching animals in the wild. They usually make us pleased, cheer us up and, sometimes, even get us scared. But did you know they can teach us? Geese, for example, teach a very good lesson about teamwork.
In fall, Canada geese fly south to get away from Canada’s cold winter weather. They lift off in no order. Yet very quickly they form a V shape, with one bird leading the flock (雁群). Scientists have discovered that geese flying in a V-shaped formation can help them to save energy. In this way, they can fly 70 percent farther without rest than birds flying alone.
How does this apply to (适用于) humans?
Work together. Whether it is in our personal lives or our professional ones, we need other people. We are encouraged by their enthusiasm and energy. If we face the difficulties in life alone, the risks are greater.
Be an encourager. We have found that geese make sound in flight to encourage those up front to keep up the speed. Team members should regularly communicate with each other while working towards a common goal.
Take turns. The goose out in front has the hardest job as it breaks up the air currents. When it gets tired, it moves behind, and another goose moves into the lead. By sharing the role, the flock can travel great distances. Teams can benefit from the same idea. Based on their experience and skills, people can take turns sharing the leadership role.
Set a good example. When geese are on land, if something scares the leader, it might fly off. So does the flock. But if the leader remains calm, the flock will do the same. Geese and people usually imitate their leaders. When leading, we must remember that our actions and emotions are passed on to our followers.
Like geese, when we work together, our burdens are lighter.
61. According to the passage, animals usually make people feel ________.
A. interested and relaxed
B. pleased and cheerful
C. scared and worried
D. surprised and excited
62. How do geese encourage each other during the flight?
A. By making sound.
B. By following the leader.
C. By flying in V shape.
D. By taking turns to fly in front.
63. The underlined word “imitate” in the passage means ________.
A. control
B. stop
C. warn
D. follow
64. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Taking t
urns to be the leader while flying is to search for food.
B. It seems that working together can only be needed on our jobs.
C. By helping and sharing, our problems in life can be less difficult.

【2016广西桂林市模拟】What do you see when you look at abstract(抽象) art？Does it make sense to you? Does it look like anything? Is it supposed to?
Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not want to paint, draw, or sculpt things exactly(确切地) like they looked. They didn’t want their art to be realistic. They were more interested in basic shapes and colours.
Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours(his “blue period”). Later, he used more red and pink colours (his “rose period”). Many of his other paintings are called “cubist(立体画派)” because they are made of painted squares.
After a long time, Picasso’s paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and things using strange shapes. His work was so original; many of his fellow artists didn’t understand it.
Kandinsky, another famous artist, used lines, shapes, and patterns to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings.
Other artists like the surrealists(超现实主义者)， were interested in subconscious(潜意识). Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbol in their work. The meaning or subject of their work wasn't always clear. Dali, another surrealist artist, painted pictures that look like dreams.
There are still many abstract artists around the world. That's the way many artists prefer. They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it.

【2016潮州市高级实验学校模拟】Thirty years ago, Lake Ponkapog in Hartwell, New Jersey, was full of life. Many birds and animals lived beside the water, which was full of fish. Now there are few birds, animals and fish. The lake water is polluted.It is in a color of dirty brown, and it is filled with strange plants.
How does this happen? First we must think about how water gets into Lake Ponkapog. When it rains, water comes into the lake from all around. In the past, there were forests all around Lake Ponkapog so the rainwater was clean.
Now there are many homes around the lake. People often use chemicals (化学品) in their gardens and inside their houses for cleaning or killing insects (昆虫). There are also many businesses. Businesses use chemicals in their machines or shops. When it rains, the rainwater picks up all the chemicals from homes and businesses and then carries them into the lake. They pollute the water and kill the animals.
Boats on the lake are also a problem. Lake Ponkapog is a popular place for motorboats. But oil and gas from boats often get into the lake. So more bad chemicals go into the water this way.
People in Hartwell are worried. They love their lake and want to save it. Will it possible? A clean lake must have clean rainwater going into it. Clean rainwater is possible only if people are more careful about chemicals at home and at work. They must also be more careful about gas and oil and other chemicals on the ground. And they mustn’t use motorboats any more on the lake. All these may change people’s lives. Only then can Lake Ponkapog be a beautiful, clean lake again.

People first started planting these gardens during the 1970s. At that time, the price of vegetables and fruits was rising. In many city neighbourhoods, crime(犯罪) was increasing. There were also many other problems. People decided to get together to plant gardens to fight against these problems. The gardeners thought they might make the area more beautiful and improve people’s life.
These gardeners were right! Community gardens have many benefits. They improve their neighbourhoods. They also make people feel they belong to the community. When people work together in a garden, they feel they are connected with each other. People work on a small area within the garden. They grow vegetables or fruits.

【2016北京市通州区模拟】 Extracurricular(课外的) School Activities
Many schools today provide various extracurricular activities. Some activities are before school, some are after school, and a few may even take place on weekends. Many parents like their children to take part in these activities. Yet some parents are still a little dubious about it. Actually, these activities have many advantages for students. It is a wise choice for parents to allow students to get involved in extracurricular activities at school. It can help students to develop many working skills, people skills, and more.
When students get involved in extracurricular activities, they get involved in different interests. These activities allow them to develop various interests that they may have.
It also helps to raise the self-esteem(自尊) of students. Many students feel worthless or there is nothing they are good at. Everyone wants to find something that they are really good at, and extracurricular activities provide the opportunity for them.
Students can also learn relationship skills. They need to get involved in social activities and learn how to act properly in social situations. These activities give them a chance outside of school to do this, while they are still supervised(监督) by adults.
Of course, while there are many excellent benefits of extracurricular activities for students, you need to consider how much is too much. It can be a great choice to get involved in a few different activities, but too many activities can have negative(消极的) effects. If students take part in too many activities, they often have problems in their studies. They may not get enough rest. They may not have time to relax. It’s important for students to set some limits to extracurricular activities. Students can pick out a couple of their favorites and make sure they can handle(处理) them. Some kids feel like they have to take part in many activities to be a success, and this is not good to them.
When students get involved in extracurricular activities, there are certainly excellent benefits that they’ll enjoy. They are doing it for their future success. It’s important that students don’t try to “do it all”.

It can record what happens inside the home and send the video to your phone. When you are on vacation abroad, you can use a smart home controller to switch on or off the electricity when necessary. Some smart homes can receive a visitor, allowing him to come in and offering him a drink. They can even feed the cat and water the plants.
Besides, smart homes are easy to fix. Most smart home technology and devices are wireless and can be set up with a minimum of tools, using only the guiding information. When a problem appears, you can deal with it yourself without paying a professional.
However, for home-users, the smart home technology is far from perfect. It can be rather expensive to own the technology and the devices. Also, because the smart home system allow its owner to get home information from anywhere, it leaves the home easy to be attacked by hackers(黑客),who may secretly use or change the information in the system.
Now, many scientists are excited at the future of smart home technology. Imagine being able to get fashion advice from your mirror, or receive food shopping suggestions from your refrigerator. While there are others who worry that those
smart devices will make people lazier and lonelier. Whatever it is, one thing is for sure---smart home technology will change the way we live and work.
46. According to the passage, nowadays a smart home can lock the door through ________.
A. electric lights B. mirror technologies
C. mobile phones D. shopping programs
50. The third paragraph of the passage is mainly about _________.
A. the steps to use smart systems B. the prices of smart programs

【2016北京市平谷区一模】Are you bored with your daily routine? Here are some things you should try before you are 18, because after that it’s too late!
Camp out in the garden
If you don’t have your own garden, find a friend who has one! You will need: two or three friends,
a small tent, sleeping bags and warm blankets. Take a lot of food and drink with you into the tent and
play games until it gets dark. When it gets dark, tell ghost stories, and at midnight, eat all your sweets.
You will need a torch or you won’t be able to see all your sweets, and it might get a bit too frightening.
Learn to swim
Seriously, this is so important it could save your life. If you can’t swim well, you won’t be able to do water sports like waterskiing, surfing and diving. Even taking a boat trip will be dangerous for you. Make sure you do it.
Collect something
One of the best hobbies for under - 18s is collecting things. You could collect rare Chinese stamps, or you could collect things that make you remember what you’ve done, like cinema tickets for films you’ve seen or emails from friends.

Try at least one kind of team sport
Being a good team player is an important skill in life. You can’t just think of yourself, but have to
work well with other people. Besides, team sports like basketball, football and baseball can keep you fit,
and they are also great fun. Teams usually have a good social life too - you’ll go to lots of parties and
make many friends.

【2016北京市平谷区一模】Do you or someone you know use a mobile phone?
In today’s world, many people use a mobile phone especially businessmen and
businesswomen.
These people are an important part of the business world and help our economies develop. In fact in some countries even children and the elderly use mobile phones to keep in touch with family and friends.
We know how useful it is to have a mobile phone, but do we know how safe these phones are? Some scientists say that mobile phones could be a risk to our health. So, money is being given to scientific research to find out if mobile phones may be harmful in any way.
What does the future look like? Is a hands - free phone the answer? The idea behind hands - free sets is simple and maybe they are a safer way for people to communicate. The hands - free set has a piece in your ear and a microphone near your mouth which is connected to a wire that goes into your phone. Some scientists think this is a much safer way to use a phone. Some scientists have proved that a mobile phone 10 centimetres from your head is far safer than if the headset is right against your ear.
Some reports say that hands - free sets have 95% less radiation(kl) exposure, while other reports say that hands - free sets expose you to more radiation.
Governments and the mobile phone industry are researching the effects, including:
● the effects of radio waves on blood pressure and the brain, such as the abilities to concentrate, remember and learn
● the connections between mobile phone use and brain cancer
● long - term effects of mobile phone use, looking at health histories of people who have used mobiles since the 1980s.
They will be looking at both current mobile phones and the new generation of 4G phones. The results from these studies will help us understand more about the world beyond mobile communications.
Wouldn’t it be strange if scientists discovered that mobile phones were too dangerous and we had to stop using them and go back to writing letter and using the normal telephone?
53. The underlined word ＂concentrate＂ means .
A. feel interested B. take actions C. think carefully D. answer quickly
54. From the passage we can know .
A. wearing headsets is a safer way when we communicate with mobile phones
B. nobody can tell exactly which is the safer way to use a mobile phone
C. we’d better stop using hands - free sets while scientists are looking at them
D. there is some connections between mobile phone use and some illness
55. The writer thinks that .
A. it’s certain that new technology brings new problems

【2016徐州市区模拟】In some science fiction movies, evil robots refuse to die, no matter how hard people fight back.
Now science fiction has become science fact. For the first time, scientists have made a robot that can take a beating and keep on going. Scientists from Cornell University made the robot, which looks like a spider with four legs.
Until now, even the most advanced robot was almost certain to break down when it was damaged. That is because its computer inside simply doesn’t know how to make the machine work after its shape has changed.
To deal with this problem, the scientists put eight motors and two sensors that read how the machine is working. They all give signals to the machine’s software. Using this information, the computer can then figure out the machine’s shape at any moment.
The new technology is a big advance in robot-making, scientists say, and it’s far from scary. It may someday help scientists create better artificial(人造的) arms and legs and give new freedom to people who lose them. It might also help scientists understand how people and animals figure out their own sense of place in space.
“It has been difficult to design robots that can work well when the environment changes or when it’s damaged,” says Olaf Sporns of Indiana University in US. “With this work, we are nearer to solving this problem.”
38. What does the robot made by Scientists from Cornell University look like?
A. A spider with two legs.
B. A bird with four wings.
C. A bird with two wings.
D. A spider with four legs.
39. Why do robots easily break down when they are damaged?
A. They cannot repair themselves.
B. The computer has changed a lot.
C. They have no computers inside.
D. The computer cannot work if the robot changes.
40. The new technology allows the robot to ________.
A. do house work for humans B. tell people where it is
C. remember a lot of information D. be a real man
41. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________.
A. sensors
B. robots

店) , Popular Bookmall. opened in Shanghai in November.
This experimental store offers books at very low prices, and there is no staff (工作人员 ) to
require customers to pay before taking books away. Sounds like a book lover's paradise (乐园) !
Popular Bookmall had already set up such a shop in Nanjing. The organizers of the Nanjing store report that it was a great success; enough customers voluntarily paid for their hooks. But most older "honesty stores" in China did not receive enough honest customers. For example, a self-service restaurant opened in Fujian province years ago which allowed customers to pay whatever they chose, but about one-fifth of customers paid nothing. Therefore some people have decided that Chinese are becoming more honest. The organizers of the "honesty stores" say that their goal is to encourage people in China to remember how important honesty is.
Many Chinese are concerned about dishonesty in China. Even at Popular Bookmall,not
everybody chose to pay for their books. How can we encourage ourselves to be honest? We should
listen to our conscience (良知). This has deep roots in Chinese culture. Confucius taught
Chinese to be conscientious and honest.
But there is also a great reason for "honesty stores": the more honest people there are in
society. the more reasons we have to trust others. And if people trusted each other. they'd be
more willing to share. We could contribute (贡献) to a "sharing economy (经济)" where you
do not have to think about saving or spending money all the time. but helping other people. For
all these reasons, society is built on trust, not only trade.

【2016天津市红桥区二模】Now, it may be difficult to predict(预言) the future, but many people believe that we will live on Mars by the year 2100. Our own planet, Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. Well, what problems will we need to solve before we prepare to go to Mars?
First of all, transport should be much better. At present, humans need to spend months going to Mars by spaceship. However, by 2100, spaceship can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get there!
Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists should develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food, water and air that we need. However, there is no answer for all the problems now.
There is also a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars attracts us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space there. We will have to wear special shoes to make ourselves heavier.
In some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today. Food will not be the same — meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will probably make many people feel very uncomfortable.
61. According to the passage, by the year 2100, we will possibly live_____.
A. on Mars B. on the moon C. in the spaceship D. in the sea
62. So far, how long does it take us from the earth to Mars by spaceship?

C. We can jump higher on Mars than on the earth.
D. Food on Mars will be much better to eat.

【2016新乡市一模】 What will you do if you are in trouble on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.
Body signals
Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means, “yes". When you point downwards and swing (摇摆) your arm from side to side, it means "no". If you want the pilot to know that it's safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend your" knees. If you want to say that it's not sate to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.
Smoke signals
The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it's a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn’t hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a tire unless you're sure that it can't spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.
Ground- to- air signals
It's a good idea lo build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols(标记). If you can't find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:
F “I need food and water"
II "I need medicine.”
I "I am badly hurt.”
X "I am unable lo move from here”
Pilots' replies
If the pilot lowers the plane's wings from side to side, this means "message received and understood" (At night, the pilot flashes the plane's green lights. ) If the pilot flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means "message received but not understood" (At night, the pilot flashes the plane's red lights. ) However, there is no signal which means "message not received".

【2016深圳一模】 Every one of you has a favorite season. Have you ever thought about why there are different seasons?
Because the Earth moves around the axis(轴) every day, we get day and night. When the Earth faces the Sun, it is bright and sunny day. And when the Earth turns back opposing(背对) the Sun, it is dark night!
The Earth also travels across the orbit(轨道) around the Sun. It takes a year to complete one circle. When the Earth gets towards the Sun, more heat from the Sun causes summer. When the Earth goes far away from the Sun, it causes winter. The distance between the Earth and the Sun in the orbit causes changes in the season, which changes the climate(气候).
Here are some interesting facts about seasons:
June 21 is the longest day of the year and December 22 is the longest night of the year in the northern hemisphere.
There are a few places on the Earth where the season remains the same all the year round.
Not all countries or places on the Earth have the same season at the same time. When it is winter in America, it is summer in Brazil. When it is winter in Australia, it is still summer or the end of summer in India.
So, tell me, what is your favorite season and why do you like it?
( ) 51. How often does the Earth travel across the orbit around the Sun?
A. Once a day.
B. Once a year. C. Once a season. D. Once a month.

【2016江西一模】Most parents hope that their children can be happy and successful. But do you know the most powerful way to encourage them to be so? The answer is to allow them to make their own decisions.
Different people have different ideas about children’s decision making. Unfortunately , most parents make decisions for their children—what they wear, what they eat and what movies they watch. In fact, it’s not good for children’s growing.
Children should be allowed to make decisions when they are very young. But this doesn’t mean they are allowed to do everything. For example, you shouldn’t take your children into a convenience store and tell them they can have anything they want. They would be overwhelmed(不知所措的) by the choices. But you can give them a choice among snacks. When children get older, expand (扩大) the number of choices you give them. For example, allow them to decide the activities they want to take part in or when they decide to go to bed.
The next step is to get your children to think before they act. Ask themselves several important questions. First, why do I want to do this? Second, what are my choices? Third, what are the results of the actions? After the three questions, they are sure to have right decisions.

The following are some tips for becoming a successful businessman by Michael Bloomberg. They are based on his experience of building a company from the ground up, leading New York City as mayor（市长）, and so on.
Take Risks
Life is too short to spend your time avoiding failure.
In 1981, at the age of 39, I lost my job. The next day I took a big risk and began my own company. In 2001, when I was debating whether to run for mayor, most people advised me not to do it. But one person said, “If you can imagine yourself giving a concession（败选）speech, then why not go for it?” That was the best advice I received, and I followed it.
In order to succeed, you must first be willing to fail— and you must have the courage to go for it anyway.
Make your own luck
Luck plays a part in success. The harder you work, the luckier you get.
Whatever you choose to do, even if it’s not the job of your dreams, always work hard at it. Be the first person at work in the morning and the last to leave at night. Hard work creates chances.
Never stop learning
The most powerful word in English language is “why”. There is nothing so powerful
as an open, inquiring mind（探究精神）. Whatever field you choose for starting a business — be a lifelong student.
Give back
You are responsible for your success and failure, but you only succeed if you share the reward with others.
My first donation was a $ 5 check to my alma mater （母校） . And while the checks（支票）may be bigger today, they come with the same spirit.
You don’t have to be wealthy to give back. You can give back by giving your time and talents.
36. In this passage, Michael Bloomberg is the name of a .
A. newspaper B. place C. company D. person

Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember the number of your credit card when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.
The eye-recognition（眼睛识别）program has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.
Eye-recognition is a course of recognizing iris（虹膜）, which includes the following steps. First, a kind of machine needs to collect different examples of one’s iris from his eyes and store them. Second, when this person goes to the bank to take out money, this machine will have iris feature extraction（采集）. Then, this machine will compare the examples kept in it with iris feature extraction. Once the examples and the feature extraction are the same, this person will be identified, and he will take out the money from the bank successfully.
However, scientists are also working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger.
Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, and don’t get dirty like hands or fingers, and even twins have different eyes. So the eye-recognition program can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. However, some other programs may only be 51% correct now. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of
eye-recognition.
In the future your computer will be looking you in the eye. So smile!

【2016深圳市龙岗区二测】 Don't wash your hair every day. Here's why:
It will be easier to style. If you've ever washed your hair just before going to the salon to get another better look, you will be told by the stylist, freshly washed and dried hair isn't as easy to work with as hair that was washed a day or two ago.
Your color will last longer. If you color your hair
, washing daily can dull your color and lead to more trips to the salon. Keep your hair looking bright by only washing every other day. When you wash your hair, do so with a shampoo so that you can make sure the color doesn't lose.
It will be healthier. The more you wash your hair, the more you're removing your hair's natural oil. That's right - too much time with the shampoo can really mean your hair become less soft and shining. Over-washing can dry hair out, which isn't a good idea. Keep your hair healthy by avoiding washing your hair every day.
Washing and drying take a lot of time for those of us with long hair. By cutting back on styling time, you will have more time to get ready, sleep or even fit in a quick jog or trip to the gym.

【2016深圳市龙岗区二测】 There are many ways for us to reduce waste. For example, we can reuse paper and plastic bags. We can also recycle newspapers, glass, and cans (易拉罐) to make new things. Here are some useful ways to reduce waste.
◆ Write on both sides of paper. Many people write on only one side of their paper. Why not stop wasting the other side? Some students only use half the pages of their notebooks before getting new ones. Try to use up all the paper. People often give cards on birthdays or festivals. How about trying to send e-cards instead?
◆ Don't throw away your old batteries. Maybe you do not know that old batteries make the Earth dirty. This is because they have poisonous parts. So, don't throw away batteries. Keep them together. Try to use rechargeable(可在充电的) batteries for your games and CD players.
◆ Donate (捐赠) all your unwanted clothes. There are many poor families in China. You may ask your mother to collect your unwanted clothes.

【2016广东河源中英文学校一模】Life is full of happiness and bitters. Do you choose to live a happy life or a bittery one?
In my opinion, happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and lots of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big house may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving (旋转) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

【2016广州市南沙区综合测试一】China’s new hot word, tuhao, may be in next year’s Oxford English Dictionary.
In Chinese, tu means rude and hao means rich. In recent years, people use this term to describe those who spend money in an unreasonable way. The word became more popular with the newest Apple’s gold-colored iPhone, which is loved by China’s rich people. The color became known as “tuhaogold”. The word is now often used to refer to people who have the cash but lack taste.
There are two other Chinese hot words: dama and NoZuoNoDie, which may also be taken in the dictionary. Dama, meaning middle-aged women, was first used in the Western media by the Wall Street Journal. Thousands of Chinese women were buying a large amount of gold when the gold price had gone down. Another phrase NoZuoNoDie means if you don’t do stupid things, they won’t come back to bite you, is also very popular. Other words, such as Maotai, Chinglish and "dim sum " have also been included in the dictionary.
“Words like dama and tuhao are so vivid. My friends and I use them a lot—it’s so much fun,” said an American student who studies in Beijing.
BBC World News recently made a special program called “Tuhao, let’s be friends!” “The frequent use of Chinglish by foreign media suggests that foreign people are looking more to the lifestyle and popular culture of China,” says Zhang Yiwu, professor of Peking University.
What does this trend suggest about the Chinese language's influence?
Xing Hongbing, professor from Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU) said “These show that Chinglish is now being accepted by the rest of the world and they play important roles in daily life of Chinese. Behind these Chinglish words and phrases is the Chinese culture. They are reflections of the changes and trends in the Chinese society and they help people from other countries to understand what's happening in China.”
36. __________can be called “tuhao” according to the passage.
A. The rich who like iPhone made of gold B. The people who bought a lot of gold

【2016广州市番禺区综合测试】Old age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and people worried about getting older.
Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact, they say by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than when they were 18 years old.
The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults between the ages of 18 and 85 in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone. The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25, but dropped sharply after people reach their fifties.
Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report negative(负面的) emotions were those in their seventies and eighties. The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.
Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experience.
36. The underlined word emotions (in Paragraph 3) most probably means _______.
A. experience B. attitude C. feeling D. pressure

【2016广州市天河区“五校”联考】About 20 years ago, Nissan introduced the world's first "talking car". Actually, it was just a recorded voice and it wouldn't stop telling you to close the door until you really heard and did it.
Times have changed and the talking car of the near future is a car that you can talk to, rather than a car that talks to you. You'll be able to control your radio by giving voice orders. And you can get traffic reports or directions, and send or receive emails in the talking car. To do all these, you needn't push a button at all.
This is good news for those who spend more and more of their lives in their cars. In fact, the new type of cars will be more like offices on wheels because it has computers, wireless internet and satellite radio inside. Companies are hoping that time wasted in traffic could be put to better use. If workers are able to check their emails, faxes, and meeting time on the way to work, they can spend more time at the offices doing more important tasks.
Microsoft, of course, is hoping that every one of those mobile offices will use Windows. "It's a great goal. " says Dick Brass, VP of Microsoft's automotive division( 汽车分部)."But we'd like to have one of our operating systems in every car on earth. "There are already 650 million cars in the world, and every year about 50 million new cars roll off the production lines.

【2016广州从化区综合测试】Monarch butterflies from eastern Canada make the most amazing journey in the insect world. Each year, this butterfly travels about 3000 miles to its winter home in central Mexico. How can it fly so far? And why does it make this long and dangerous trip? Scientists still don’t have an answer.
For many years, people in Mexico wondered where the orange-and-black butterflies came from every winter. Then, in 1937, a scientist started to follow and study the butterflies.

The length of the butterflies finds their way back to the same place? Another amazing thing is that the butterflies always return to the same area in central Mexico.

Each year, four generations of a Monarch butterfly family are born. Each generation of the family has a very different life. The first generation is born in the south in late April. It slowly moves north, reproduces, and then dies. On the trip north, two more generations are born, reproduce, and die. Each of these generations of butterflies is born. This generation has a much longer life. It lives for about eight months. This generation of butterflies makes the amazing journey back to the winter home of its great-great-grandparents. The butterflies spend the winter there, and in the spring they reproduce and then die. Their offspring will be the first generation of the next circle of life.
Today, people are still studying the Monarch butterfly. But they are not clear about everything.

Car sharing has major environmental benefits because it reduces the number of cars on the road. Members don’t drive just because they are in a car. They plan trips, and if they don’t need a car, they don’t use one. Still, a car is available to them if they need to make a trip to the grocery store, pick someone up at the airport or if they want to go to the beach for the day. Members also benefit by having access to a car without any of the headaches of ownership. They usually don’t have to pay for the gas, insurance or maintenance and the monthly membership fee is less than typical car payment. So if you really want to go green but aren’t ready to totally give up a car yet, car sharing may be the best way to go.
If you still need to get around, but want to go even greener than sharing a car, share a bus!

A. has become the most popular way to go to work

【2016广州越秀模拟】By the year 2050 it is estimated that the world’s population will reach nine billion. An interesting question: what happens when people in poorer countries raise their living standard and demand more meat in their diet? Imagine trying to feed nine billion people with enough meat. In short, it’s simply impossible.
Australian journalist and science writer, Julian Cribb, explains the challenges the world faces in feeding nine billion people by the year 2050. Cribb says there is a major problem in the current food system in the developed world, at least. As more and more people move towards city centers, the less and less they know about where their food comes from. Most think food simply grow on supermarket shelves, and they don’t consider the environmental effects of food production.
Food has many hidden cost: huge volumes of water, energy use and land degradation（退化）. Consumers add their own costs by simply throwing away a lot of food. The figures for food waste in West are staggering.
To solve this problem of public ignorance（无知）about food. Cribb suggests that food should be taught as a subject at primary school. This would help to create a future generation that could better deal with the world’s coming food challenges. This powerful measure can help to raise a generation of educated consumers, more productive farmers, and so on.
Cribb offers other solutions and suggestions as well. One is to increase the funding for agriculture science, which has been falling by the wayside in recent years. He suggested organic（有机的）farming should be understood on a scientific basis, changing people’s thinking to one of a new form of “environmental agriculture” to get the very best out of organic farming systems. He says we should stop wasting food and learn how to grow food more cheaply. We should use less water, as water is one of the main inputs into food production. Cribb also suggests eating more fruit and vegetables.
36. In the second paragraph, one problem of the food system in developed countries is ___.
A. increasing ignorance about the ways of food production
B. an increasing number of people moving to city centers
C. food production doing harm to the environment
D. the cost of food production is increasing
37. What is the meaning of the underlined word in the third paragraph?
A. Confusing. B. Surprising C. Puzzling D. Pleasing.
38. According to Julian Cribb, what is the aim of making food a subject at school?
A. To educate students about the food problem.
B. To help students understand how to grow food.
C. To develop agricultural science.
D. To train more productive farmers.
39. Which of the following may the writer disagree with?
A. The public should save food and save water.
B. Organic agriculture costs a lot of resources.
C. More money should be used for agricultural science.
D. People should eat less meat but more fruit and vegetables.
40. The text is mainly about _______.
A. The effects of agriculture on the environment on agriculture
B. the effect of the world’s population on agriculture

【2016广州调研】Bargaining is the rule here in Beijing. At least, it is so in most markets and back-street clothes shops. Bargaining is an art and if you are unfamiliar（不熟悉）with it, we’d like to offer you some advice. The tips here are often used in Beijing but may help you at any place in the world where bargaining is practiced.
DO NOT say how much you want to pay for an item（物品）unless it’s near the end of the bargaining. Always try and drop the seller’s offering price as much as possible before opening your mouth with a price.
DO throw out really low prices like 10 RMB with a big smile.
DO keep smiling from the beginning to the end. The seller usually continues bargaining with a happy smiling face. Getting angry hardly gets you the price you want.
KEEP in mind the price offered by the seller at the beginning is usually at least 40% over the generally reasonable price. It can be up to 500% over.
DO have an idea of what the item costs. You can ask your friends, people in the hotel or others you know, or look at the list below. This is very general and is based on a market like Xiu Shui. You may not be able to get the lowest prices at Xiu Shui, especially on a weekend when there are lots of tourists around.

【2016广大附中一模】We all know that sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your choice of sports might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its course in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry areas of Portugal and Spain, golf is often responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need anything special except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to think about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open space. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.

【2016河师大附中一测】 There is bad news for students who like to use their mobile phones while they are studying. New research shows that students don't learn well when they are texting and checking their social media accounts (社交媒体账号) in class.
The research was made by a group of scientists from America Researchers watched145 American university students in the classroom Some of the students used their mobile phones during the class, while the others turned off their mobile phones. The head researcher, Dr. Jeffrey, said the students who didn't use their mobile phones got higher scores in the tests they took at the end of the class.

【2016苏州一模】 "Up to two thirds of children don't get as much sleep as they should do, and this can make them nervous and slower at school," researchers say.
So how long should young people sleep each night? The answer is between 8 and 10 hours. If you don't get enough sleep at night, you'll have less energy the next day.
But the researchers say many children have missed out on 4, 500 hours of sleep by the time they are seven years old. They say that children miss sleep because they have TVs and computers in their rooms, and busy parents don't read to their younger children at night any more. The traditional "bedtime story" helps children to relax and fall asleep peacefully. Children with TVs and computers in their bedrooms were more likely to sleep badly, and to get less than eight hours' sleep. Even losing one hour's sleep a night can mean that children do less well at school.
German scientists think that your brain keeps working while you're sleep. To show that they were right, they gave two groups of people a problem to work out. One group went to sleep, and the other group stayed awake. The result is that the people who slept worked out the answer more quickly, suggesting their brains had been trying to find the answer while the people were asleep. So, make sure you get enough sleep tonight, and you'll be at your best tomorrow!
( )29. What happens to children at school if they don't get enough sleep?

A. how much sleep we need

A. It helps children to relax and fall asleep peacefully.
B. Children lose more sleep.
C. Children have more energy.
D. Children get to sleep later.
( )32. Why is it better to sleep in a room without a TV or computer?

【2016苏州一模】 No one knows exactly when jazz was invented, or by whom. But it is said that it began in the early 1900s. Jazz was a new kind of music, for America and the world, and New Orleans was its birthplace.
Who were the jazz pioneers? Most were blacks. This music was not written down, and at first only blacks played it. It was hard for white musicians to learn the new style. But soon they, too, were playing jazz.
The popularity of this music spread. From New Orleans, it travelled up the Mississippi to Chicago, then to Kansas City and New York. By the 1920s, there were many jazz musicians, both black and white. Many of them were famous. One man was better than the rest. His name was Louis Armstrong.
Louis Armstrong was a born musician. He was not only talented but also hard-working. He also had a good sense of humour and a big, good-natured smile. These personal qualities were valuable in his rise to fame. After he became famous, he travelled around the world. It seemed that everyone wanted to hear Louis play. But life was not always easy, especially at the beginning.
Louis Armstrong was born in 1900 in New Orleans. His father never went to school and his mother could hardly read. When Louis was still a kid, his parents separated, and Louis lived with his mother. How hard their life was can hardly be imagined. And yet Louis smiled through everything. He later wrote, "My whole life has been happiness. Life was there for me and I accepted it. Whatever happened has been beautiful to me. I love everybody.”

【2016徐州二测】 Smog(雾霾) is a big problem in many Chinese cities. But it seems that besides wearing a mask, few of us know what has caused the smog and what to do to beat it. Chai Jing, a former news hostess with China Central Television, discussed the questions in her documentary Under the Dome(穹顶之下).
The 103 - minute film was published on major Chinese video - sharing websites on Feb 28. In the fihn, Chai visits polluted places and talks to officials and scientists. She comes to the conclusion that burning too much coal and oil are the main causes of PM2.5 and smog.
To make things worse, according to Chai, the coal and oil we are burning is of poor quality and don't meet the standards for environmental protection. Therefore they have produced more harmful gas and particles(颗粒) to pollute the air.
To solve the problem, Chai suggests that we should clean our coal and oil or replace(替代) them with cleaner energy such as natural gas. In her fihn, Chai also pointed out that ordinary people can do something to help control smog too. For example, we live a greener life by using more public traffic. Or if we see things that could harm the environment, we can try to stop it. In one scene from the fihn, Chai sees a dirt mound(土堆) in a building site exposed(暴露) in the air, and asks the person in charge to cover it. When she sees a restaurant cooking without any suitable filter facilities (过滤设备), she calls the hotline 12369. The restaurant installed the filter a week later.
Chen Jining, the new minister of environmental protection, praised Chai. "This fihn encourages ordinary people to care about the environment. This is what we need in the future. "
38. What do most of people do to deal with the smog?
A. Wear a mask.
B. Think of ways to beat it.

【2016杭州二模】 Most people hope to have a memory which helps them succeed in study, work and life. Can memory be improved? Luckily, hundreds of studies in the past 50 years have already given us a definite answer.
A healthy lifestyle keeps your brain young and memory sharp. First of all, it is necessary to have a healthy diet. Eating more food rich in B vitamins and Vitamin E, such as vegetables and lean meat, helps you have a better memory. Proper exercise provides much needed oxygen for the brain. Running, riding a bike, swimming and even walking two or three times a week are helpful. Moreover, getting enough sleep is important. Only when your brain gets a good rest, can it work well. The healthier your lifestyle is, the better your memory will become, but do not expect a sudden change---it takes a long time to make a difference.
Memory skills help you remember things better. The following three are the most widely used. Chunking is a way of remembering a piece of information by cutting it into smaller ones. For example, to memorize a ten--digit telephone number 2127983630, you can divide the digits into three groups: first 212, then 798, and lastly 3630.This method is far more effective than remembering a string of 10 digits. Organization means organizing information into groups of the same kind. For example, trees, grass and flowers are plants; tigers, pandas, horses and cows are animals, Imagery is remembering newly learnt information by using your imagination and connecting it with something that you are familiar with.
However, memory skills will hardly work if you don’t understand the information. What’s more, only a regular review can make the memory last long. That is why students are always advised to go over what they have learnt after one day and then after three days, and then use it as regularly as possible.
Human brains are like muscles that need nutrients and exercise to become stronger. If you make a few lifestyle changes and try some memory skills, you can certainly improve your memory.
26. How many ways of keeping a healthy lifestyle are mentioned in the passage?
A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five
27. Which of the following examples is the use of the skill “organization”?
A. Remembering the word“sad” by putting it into the group of “feeling”.
B. Remembering the meaning of the word “red” by connecting it with fire.
C. Remembering a long and difficult passage by understanding its meaning.
D. Remembering the post number 0708591 by diving it into 070 and 8591.
28. According to the passage, why should we review what we’ve learnt?
A. To use it better every day. B. To understand it in a better way.
C. To improve memory skills. D. To remember it for a longer time.
29. The underline“it”in Paragraph 3 means__________.
A. imagination B. Imagery C. information D. memory
30. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Not everyone has a good memory. B. Memory skills are not difficult to learn.
C. Memory can be improved in some ways. D. It is important to have a healthy lifestyle.

When the great library of Alexandria (亚历山大图书馆) burned, the story goes, one book was saved. But it was not a valuable book; and so a poor man, who could read a little, bought it for very little money.
The book wasn't very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed. It was a thin strip of animal skin on which was written the secret of the “Touchstone (试金石)”! The touchstone was a small pebble that could turn any common metal into pure gold.
The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it. But the secret was this: The real stone would feel warm, while ordinary pebbles were cold.
So the man sold his few belongings, bought some simple supplies, camped on the seashore, and began testing pebbles. He knew that if he picked up ordinary pebbles and threw them down again because they were cold, he might pick up the same pebble hundreds of times. So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea. He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone. Yet he went on and on this way. Pick up a pebble. Cold—throw it into the sea. Pick up another. Throw it into the sea. The days continued over a long period of time.
One day, however, about mid-afternoon, he picked up a pebble and it was warm. He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done. He had formed such a strong habit of throwing each pebble into the sea that when the one he wanted came along, he still threw it away.
So it is with opportunity (机会). Unless we are cautious (小心的，谨慎的), it's easy to fail to recognize an opportunity when it is in hand and it's just as easy to throw it away.
34. The poor man bought the book because _______.
A. it was very cheap
B. it was of great value
C. there was a secret in the book
D. he wanted to find the touchstone
35. According to the story, the touchstone_______.
A. is a big pebble
B. feels cold
C. is magic
D. is pure gold
36. The man threw pebbles into the sea_______.
A. to test how far he could throw
B. to practice throwing pebbles
C. to avoid picking up the same pebble
D. to express his disappointment
37. What message does the story want to express?
A. Good habits can lead to success.
B. Habits can only hold you back.
C. Opportunity prefers slow but strong mind.
D. Opportunity only visits the ready and cautious mind.

Scientists have tried to come up with biological explanations for the difference between boys and girls.
However, none were believable enough to explain the general picture. As one scientist points out, “There are slight genetic (遗传的) differences between the sexes (性别) at birth. They may affect the subjects boys and girls choose. But the difficulty is that by the time children reach school age, there are so many other effects that it is almost impossible to tell whether girls are worse at science and maths, or whether they’ve been brought up to think of these subjects as boys’ “territory”.
Statistics (统计数据) show that in mathematics, at least, girls are equal to boys. A recent report suggests that girls only stop studying mathematics because of social attitudes (态度). One of the reports’ authors says, “While it is socially unacceptable for people not to be able to read and write, it is still acceptable for women to say that they are ‘hopeless’ at maths. Our research shows that, although girls get marks which are as good as the boys’, they have not been encouraged to do so.”
The explanation for the difference, which is very clear during the teenage years, goes as far back as early childhood experiences. From their first days in nursery school (幼儿园), girls are not encouraged to work on their own or to complete tasks, although boys are. For example, boys but not girls, are often asked to ‘help’ with repair work. This encouragement leads to a way of learning how to solve problems later on in life. Evidence shows that excellent mathematicians and scientists did not have teachers who provided answers; they had to find out for themselves.
A further report on maths teaching shows that teachers seem to give more attention to boys than to girls. Most teachers who took part in the study admitted that they expect their male students to do better at mathematics and science subjects than their female students. All of this tends to encourage boys to work harder in these subjects, gives them confidence and makes them believe that they can succeed.
Interestingly, both boys and girls tend to regard such ‘male’ subjects like mathematics and science as difficult. Yet it has been suggested that girls avoid mathematics courses, not because they are difficult, but for social reasons.
Mathematics and science are mainly male subjects, and therefore, as girls become teenagers, they are less likely to take them up. Girls do not seem to want to be in open competition with boys. Neither do they want to do better than boys because they are afraid to appear less female and so, less attractive.
42. The underlined word “territory” in the second paragraph most probably means “ _______”.
A. great interest
B. big land
C. special field
D. crazy district
43. According to scientific studies, __________.
A. maths is not fit for girls to learn
B. boys have a special sense of maths
C. girls are poorer at maths even though they are given enough encouragement
D. girls can learn maths as well as boys if given enough encouragement
44. Those who made great contribution in mathematics and science .
A. usually had good teachers to help them
B. had the abilities to solve problems by themselves
C. usually worked harder than others
D. were encouraged to repair things when young
45.Which of the following is true according to the text?
A. It is a social problem rather than a problem of brains that boys are poor at maths.
B. It seems socially acceptable for a girl not to be able to read and write.
C. Mathematics and science are easy subjects to either girls or boys.
D. Girls do not want to compete (竞争) openly with boys.

What is it?
It’s a year out between finishing school and starting university in which you can travel, work and generally do mind-broadening stuff you will never forget.
I don’t want to travel, but I don’t know what I want to do at university.
You will have a good three months between finishing your A Levels and university Clearing (when last-minute vacancies on courses for the coming academic year are advertised): surely enough time to decide what to do. You don’t need to take a year for that.
I need to take some money before starting university.
Fair enough. But don’t decide to get a full-time job. Spending a year on income-support
will be depressing, you’ll have to lie when future employers ask what you did on your gap year, and you’ll have to put up with smug (得意的) post-gap year students comparing notes when you start university.
I’d love to travel, but I can’t afford it.
Most of gap year students work for the first six months and then travel, using the money they’ve earned, in the second six months.
I’m scared.
Try not to let fear of the unknown put you off seeing the world. Earth is a big planet, but when you travel it seems much smaller (even the remotest countries have email access).

【2016南京市扬子一中一模】 Are you shy? If you are, you are not alone. In fact, about 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now, scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.
Is it possible to be born shy? Many scientists say yes. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think that some shyness is genetic.
Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. As a result, they became shy. At the same time, children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.
You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries, they found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Israel, only one of three people said so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure. In Japan, when people do not succeed, they feel bad about themselves. They blame（责备）themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true. Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons, such as family, teachers, friends, or bad luck. In Israel, freedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported. This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.
For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversation. And don’t forget ---if you are shy, you are not the only one.
（ ）8. We can learn from the passage that _______ may
cause shyness.
A. genetics, grown-ups and birthplace B. genetics, family size and birthplace
C. family size, grown-ups and failure D. genetics, family size and freedom
（ ）9. What does the underlined word “genetic” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Passed down from parents.
B. Learned from friends.
C. Taught by teachers.
D. Made up by brothers.
（ ）10. Scientists suggest that shy people can get over their shyness by______.
A. blaming their failure on outside reasons
B. trying new things and practicing conversation
C. getting themselves away from their shy parents

B. If you are shy now, you will be shy forever.
C. Many shy children have older brothers and sisters.
D. Most Israeli people are shy of expressing opinions.

【2016郑州一模】 Did you know? The word" emoji" comes from Japanese. It means ‘‘picture character". And it was just added to Oxford Dictionaries in 2013.
When you feel happy, you use a smiling face. When you agree, you send a thumbs-up. We have never used emojis while messaging our friends as much as we do today. That might be why Oxford Dictionaries chose the “face with tears of joy" emoji as their “World of the Year 2015.”
“ Emojis are no longer just for texting teenagers. Instead, they have been made into a form of expression which can cross language barriers (障碍) , " Oxford Dictionaries said.“Emoji culture has become so popular that characters have their own trends and stories.”
The "face with tears of joy" was the world's most used emoji in 2015, according to are search from the Oxford University Press.
Japan made emoji in the 1990s. They have become increasingly popular through the years. Every day, about 6 billion emoji pictures are flying around the world through mobile messaging apps. Young people especially love it. 72 percent of 18-t0 25-year-olds find it easier to express their feelings with an emoji rather than through the written word, according to a survey by TalkTalk, a London based mobile phone company.
Not everyone thinks emojis are a good thing. Writer Jonathan, for example, says emojis will reduce people's language skills. He thinks people will get lazier by using more emojis. But Professor Evans disagrees. He thinks that emojis are great for communication. "It is not lazy to naturally look for more efficient (有效的) ways to communicate with others," he said.
