First of all，I believe that if we plant more tree，there will be less haze in their city. Trees can absorb exhaust fumes (尾气) from cars，thus reduce pollution. Second，the government should punish the factories where produce too many fumes. Exhaust fumes is the main cause of haze and do greatly harm to people’s health. Maybe we can move factories to areas where few people live. Third, I think it was a great idea to encourage people to use public transportation. Last but not least, we can call on citizens ride bikes if they travel short journeys.

There is nothing worse than sitting next to someone whose breath smells bad. In order to solve this problem, people have tried various methods since thousands of years ago.1.. Nowadays, we use gum（口香糖）instead and it seems to be much easier. 372.. Scientists can even tell whether or not somebody has a disease just from a simple breath test now. How does it work? Breath is made up of waste chemicals that the body makes.3.. In fact, they are just like fingerprints （指纹）一that’s why scientists sometimes call them “ breathprints” . Compared with other kinds of tests, a breath test is much quicker. Instead of taking hours, it only takes a few minutes.4.. This machine will help to test their breath. It has been useful in finding early signs of problems such as stomach cancer. Now, scientists are trying to use breath tests as many as they can.5.. A. There are many ways to make your breath smell better B. It’s much cheaper to do a breath test than other tests C. How your breath smells says a lot about your health D.

In his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great wordsmith （语言大师）and playwright （剧作家）.But he was not the only great master of dramatic writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting influence on theater. While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered China’s greatest playwright and is highly spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions. Tang was born in 1550 in Linchuan, Jiangxi province, and pursued a low-key career as an official until, in 1598 and aged 49, he retired to focus on writing. Unlike Shakespeare’s large body of plays, poems and sonnets （十四行诗），Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin （《紫钗记》），Peony Pavilion （《牡丹亭》），A Dream under the Southern Bough （《南柯记》，and Dream of Handan（《邯郸记》. The Peony Pavilion is considered Tang’s masterpiece. The latter three are constructed around a dream narrative, a device through which Tang unlocked the emotional dimension of human desires and ambitions and explored human nature beyond the social and political restrictions of that time. Tang lived toward the end of the Ming Dynasty（1368—1644）and the popularity of his works had a good reason. Similar to Shakespeare, his success rode the wave of a renaissance （复兴）in theater as an artistic practice. As in Shakespeare’s England, Tang’s works became hugely popular in China too. During Tang’s China, the way, in which playlets were enjoyed and performed, changed. Kunqu opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southern China to the whole nation and became a symbol of Chinese culture. Combining northern tune and southern music, kunqu opera was known for its poetic language, music, dance movements and gestures. Tang’s works benefited greatly from the popularity of kunqu opera, and his playlets are considered classics of kunqu opera. While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other, there are many things they share in common, such as the humanity of their drama, their iconic and heroic figures, their love for poetic language, a lasting popularity and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them. 1.How is the text developed? A. By analyzing data. B. By giving examples. C. By providing arguments. D. By making comparisons. 2.What’s the most outstanding feature of Tang’s works according to Paragraph 3 ? A. They are love stories based on real events. B. They reflect political environment at that time. C. They focus on discovering human emotions. D. They are mainly about dreams of females. 3.What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Led to. B. Called up. C. Set off. D. Benefited from. 4.What’s the best title for the text? A. Tang Xianzu—The Shakespeare of China B. Kunqu Opera——A Symbol of Chinese Culture C. Tang Xianzu and His Work——The Peony Pavilion D. Shakespeare and His Influence on Chinese Theater
Making employees feel happy and healthy at work is good for many businesses. But it isn’t always an easy thing. A study suggests that only 33% of the U. S. employees consider themselves fully engaged （投身于）in work, while 16% are greatly disengaged, and 51% are just showing up. But there is an exception. When it comes to employee engagement, it seems that employees in small companies are doing better. According to the same research, the largest U. S. companies are at the lowest levels of engagement, while companies with fewer than 25 employees are at the highest. And in one recent report, 75% of small business workers surveyed said they were “very” or “extremely” satisfied with their role as a small company employee. Unlike big companies, small companies are often short of resources but the employees can get more surprises there. Small companies offer excellent career opportunities to their employees. The bosses often know their staff very well and understand their personal needs. Employees of small companies are more likely to receive free meals, paid leave, and they can even bring their pets to work. But of course ? there are many other draws in small businesses. One of the top draws is flexible scheduling (弹性工时). Another is being able to really see the fruits of one's labor. Besides, non-cash award is also a big draw. This could be something small that reflects employees’ interests and lifestyles. While a parental leave might lead to some financial problems, small companies may do something to improve it. “It may be impossible for a five-person team to be reduced to four for six months,” writes Camillia Velasquez, head of HR management platform, Justworks. “But it could be possible to allow new parents to take on reduced hours in a work-from-home environment. ” This kind of method has been realized in some small companies. 1.What can we know about employees in big and small companies? A. Employees can develop better in small companies. B. Employees can earn more money in small companies. C. Employees in big companies are hard to be satisfied. D. Employees in small companies are more engaged in work. 2.What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. Working for small companies has many benefits. B. All the employers in small companies know every staff member very well. C. Staff in small companies may face many challenges. D. Staff in big companies have more material benefits. 3.Compared with big companies, what is the advantage of small companies? A. Employers in small companies have more choices. B. Small companies have more attractions to employees. C. Employees of small companies may have higher salaries. D. Employees of small companies have fixed working time. 4.What can be most probably inferred from the passage? A. Small companies may have more employees with much happiness. B. Big companies should learn from some small companies. C. Employees should have their own hobbies and lifestyles. D. Employers should pay more attention to the staff’s needs.
Have you ever thought that your life will be perfect if something in your outside world changes? You may say, “I will live happily if I find my soul mate.” You may say, “If the perfect job comes along, I will get satisfaction. My problem is that my boss is stupid.” Or you may say, “If I have a child, I will know what it is like to be loved.” The problem is that it is not the outside world that prevents you from experiencing peace, love and joy. Instead, it is your own internal (内部的) patterns that get in your way. To prove this point, at my weekend programs, I had my students look at a flower on my table. Then I asked them to share their experiences. Some showed a state of complete joy because staring at the flower reminded them of their wedding or a great trip with their lovers. Others said the flower made them angry because it reminded them of a gift given by a former partner who turned against them. Some students even told me that the flower reminded them of their beloved grandmothers’ gardens with some shedding tears (流泪)of joy and others shedding tears of sadness. However, the flower was still just a flower. Our internal patterns decide whether each moment is filled with peace, anger, joy, love or sadness. When you don’t realize that it is your own internal state that is creating your experience, you are likely to blame (责备)the external situations in your life. Most people aren’t taught that emotion is a choice. And they aren’t taught how to change those lower emotional patterns such as anger, anxiety, sadness and so on. Next time, when you meet something bad, please look at your internal state. When you accept that you are responsible for your own state, and find the courage to turn inward, you can step out of being a slave to what shows up in your external world. 1.Why does the author mention the examples in Paragraph 1 ? A. To lead to the topic of this passage. B. To complain about imperfect life. C. To show common problems in life. D. To encourage people to change the outside world. 2.How does the author prove his opinion? A. By giving examples. B. By doing an experiment. C. By telling a related story. D. By comparing other people’s opinions. 3.What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph? A. To step out of negative emotions. B. To pay attention to our internal world. C. To share our real emotions with others. D. To use different methods to change bad emotions. 4.What does the author want to express through the passage? A. Our external world matters a lot. B. Our emotions can affect our health. C. Our internal patterns truly decide our emotions. D. Our experiences have a great influence on our emotions.

Training for a marathon (马拉松) requires careful preparation and steady, gradual increases in the length of the runs. 1., buy the best-fitting running shoes you can find. No one can say which brand will work best for you or feel best on your feet, so you have to rely on your experience and on the feel of each pair as you shop.

What do you do when you need to look something up? Go to the library? Open an encyclopedia(百科全书)? Click onto the Internet? These days, most people go straight to Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia. But how reliable is it? There’s no denying the popularity and usefulness of Wikipedia. It attracts as many as 78 million visitors every month, and the site is available in more than 270 different languages. It’s one of the most comprehensive resources available, which includes almost all details, facts and information that may be concerned. It’s got much more information than an ordinary encyclopedia. The site is updated on a daily basis by thousands of people around the world. Anyone with an Internet connection can log on and edit the contents or add a new page. And you don’t need any formal training. Of course, there are some controls. Wikipedia has a team of more than 1,500 administrators who check for false information. And main targets for harmful comments(such as politicians) are off-limits to public editing. But with more than 16 million articles to keep an eye on, it isn’t easy. So, while Wikipedia benefits from being constantly updated with information from all over the world, it’s also open to “vandals”（恣意破坏公共财物者）. Some of the damage is easy to notice. One person drew devil horns and a moustache on Microsoft chairman Bill Gate’s photo, while another edited Greek philosopher Plato’s biography to say he was a “Hawaiian weather man who is widely believed to have been a student of ‘Barney the purple Dinosaur’. But other things are harder to spot. The most common form of vandalism (恣意破坏公共财物罪)involves adding tiny items of false information into the biography of a famous person. Unbelievably, some of this misinformation has appeared in newspapers, with The Daily Mail, The Guardian and The Independent all having fallen victim to the dirty tricks. For example, in an article about British comedian Sir Norman Wisdom, one newspaper claimed that he co-wrote Dame Vera Lynn’s wartime hit There’ll be bluebirds over the White Cliffs of Dover. He did no such thing. And in other article, it was reported that TV Theme tune composer Ronnie Hazlehurst had written the S Club 7’s hit Reach again, not true. So, if you’re going to use any information from Wikipedia, make sure you double-check it first. 1.We can we learn from the passage? A. Updated by 78 million people around the world, Wikipedia is sure to be attacked. B. Thanks to its popularity and convenience, Wikipedia is available in 1500 languages. C. Anyone who has access to the Internet can edit any contents of Wikipedia as they like. D. The primary job of the administrators is to guarantee information conveyed is accurate. 2.What’s the writer’s attitude to Wikipedia according to the text? A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Satisfied D. Supportive 3.The main purpose of the last two paragraphs is to tell us that______ A. All items of false information are not easy to get spotted. B. Information about famous people is likely to be inaccurate. C. No matter how famous the papers are, they will be cheated. D. You can never be careful enough while updating information online. 4.What can be used as a suitable title for the text? A. Why Wikipedia Is So Popular? B. Wikipedia Is Reliable to Use C. How to Look up Information in Wikipedia? D. Wikipedia Has Advantages and Disadvantages
The ocean bottom, a region nearly 2.5 times greater than the total land area of the earth, is even today largely unexplored. Until about a century ago, the deep ocean floor was completely inaccessible and hidden beneath waters averaging over 3,600 meters deep. Totally without light and in the case of intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at the earth’s surface, the deep-ocean bottom is a strange environment to humans, in some way, as fighting and remote as the outer space. Although researchers have taken samples of deep-ocean rocks for over a century, the first detailed global study of the ocean bottom did not actually start until 1969, with the beginning of the National Science Foundation’s Deep Sea Drilling Project(DSDP). Using techniques first developed for the offshore oil and gas industry, the DSDP’s drill ship, the Glomar Challenger, was able to maintain a steady position on the ocean’s surface and drill very deep waters, taking samples of rocks from the ocean floor. The Glomar Challenger completed 96 voyages in a 15-year research program that ended in November 1983. During this time, it sailed 600,000 kilometers and took almost 20,000 samples of rocks around the world. Those samples have allowed geologists to reconstruct what the planet looked like hundreds of millions of years ago and to make out what it will probably look like millions of years in the future. Today, largely on the strength of evidence gathered during the Glomar Challenger’s voyages, nearly all earth scientists agree on the theories of plate tectonics (构造学) and continental drift that explain many of the geological processes. The sample of rocks drilled by the Glomar Challenger has also provided a climatic record stretching back hundreds of millions of years. The information of past climatic change can be used to predict the future climate. 1.What does the underlined word “inaccessible” in paragraph1 mean? A. unrecognizable. B. unreachable. C. unusable. D. unreasonable 2.The Deep Sea Drilling Project was significant because it was _____. A. an attempt to find new sources of oil and gas B. supported entirely by the gas and oil industry C. conducted by geologists from all over the world D. the first detailed exploration of the ocean bottom 3.What can we know about the Glomar Challenger? A. It provided a record of past climatic change. B. It took almost 600,000 samples of rocks C. It made its first DSDP voyage in 1968. D. It has gone on over 100 voyages.
Arthur Miller(1915-2005) is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists（剧作家） of the 20th century. Miller’s father had moved to the USA from Austria-Hungary, drawn like so many others by the “Great American Dream”. However, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression (大萧条时期) of the early 1930s. Miller’s most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system, with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators (标志) of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble with his system, Willy is “burnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment (情绪): if he can’t do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this, and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end. When it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for drama. It was the first play to win all the three of these major awards. Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the evening of February 10, 2005, the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway. 1.Why did Arthur Miller’s father move to the USA? A. His family business failed. B. He hoped to make his son a dramatist. C. He was attracted by the “Great American Dream”. D. He suffered from severe hunger in his home country. 2.What do we learn about Willy Loman in the play Death of a Salesman? A. He is regarded as a hero by his colleagues. B. He is a victim of the American system. C. He runs the Wagner Company. D. He treats his employer badly. 3.After it was first staged, Death of a Salesman _____. A. achieved huge success B. won the first Tony Award C. was warmly welcomed by salesmen D. was severely attacked by dramatists 4.What is the text mainly about? A. Arthur Miller and his family. B. The awards Arthur Miller won. C. Arthur Miller and his best-known play. D. The hardship Arthur Miller experienced.

Dodder is an unusual and unwanted plant that attacked other plants. Except for its flower, the plant looks like spaghetti, a kind of noodles in the shape of long thin pieces that look like string when they are cooked. Its almost leafless, thread-like stems hang down on top of other plants that dodder needs to stay alive. Dodder does not produce its own food. Instead, it steals food from other plants. It feeds by sucking juices from the plant which is wrapped around, often making its host very weak or even killing it. Dodder can find other plants by their smell. When a young dodder plant starts growing, it follows the smell of plants it prefers, like tomato plants, potato plants, or other farm crops. Unlike most plants that usually grow in the direction of light or warmth, a dodder plant will grow in the direction of , for example, tomato smell-if a tomato happens to be growing nearby. However, a young dodder plant must find a host plant quickly. It no longer needs its root once it is attached to the host and wrapped around it. If it cannot catch a smell of potential host within a few days, it will dry up and vanish even if there is plenty of water around. Once it finds a host, the young dodder plant will attach itself to it and start growing faster. At that point the dodder plant will drop its root. Dodder is thus a difficult weed to manage and a real headache for farmers. When it does get out of hand, dodder can greatly reduce a farmer’s harvest or even destroy crops completely. Before sowing their produce, especially farmers in warm parts of the world often check to make sure no unwanted dodder seeds have mixed with their crop seeds. This is a good way to stop dodder plants from making their way to a crop field secretly. 1.Why does the author mention spaghetti in the first paragraph? A. To analyze the content of some food. B. To introduce the topic of this passage. C. To tell the usage of the dodder plants. D. To describe the shape of dodder plants. 2.What does the underlined word “vanish” in the third paragraph mean? A. invade B. grow C. escape D. disappear 3.What can be inferred from the passage? A. Dodder doesn’t produce its own food. B. Dodder gives off smell to attract plants. C. Dodder can affect farmer’s income. D. Dodder can only survive in the shade. 4.What is the purpose of the passage? A. To introduce a new variety of farm crops. B. To introduce plants that are harmful to humans. C. To introduce the special abilities of a dangerous plant. D. To introduce recent improvements in farming methods.
Here is a record of the discussion about AI (artificial intelligence) conducted by several scientists. Scientist A: I would say that we are quite a long way off developing the AI, though I do think it will happen within the next thirty or forty years. We will probably remain in control of technology and it will help us solve many of the world’s problems. However, no one really knows what will happen if machines become more intelligent than humans. They may help us, ignore us or destroy us. I tend to believe AI will have a positive influence on our future lives, but whether that is true will be partly up to us. Scientists B: I have to admit that the potential consequences of creating something that can match or go beyond human intelligence frighten me. Even now, scientists are teaching computers how to learn on their own. At some point in the near future, their intelligence may well take off and develop at an ever-increasing speed. Human beings evolve biologically very slowly and we could be quickly substituted. In the short term, there is the danger that robots will take over millions of human jobs, creating a large underclass of unemployed people. This could mean large-scale poverty and social unrest. In the long term machines might decide the world would be better without humans. Scientists C: I’m a member of the campaign to Stop Killer Robots. Forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator stamping on human skulls and think of what’s happening right now: military machines like drones, gun turrets and sentry robots are already being used to kill with very little human input. The next step will be autonomous “murderbots” following orders but finally deciding who to kill on their own. It seems clear to me that this would be extremely dangerous for humans. We need to be very cautious indeed about what we ask machines to do. 1.What is Scientists B worried about? A. AI technology will destroy the earth. B. Computers can’t think by themselves. C. Robots will take the place of humans. D. Humans will be unhappy without machines. 2.What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to? A. I launch the campaign to Stop Killer Robots. B. We forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator. C. “Murderbots” can’t decide by themselves. D. “Murderbots” will be against human’s orders. 3.Which statement is RIGHT according to the record? A. Scientist A thinks AI technology will never develop. B. The employment will be affected by AI technology in the future. C. “Murderbots” will follow the orders of their manufactures in the wars. D. All the three scientists agree that AI technology will benefit human beings. 4.Who agree(s) AI has more negative aspects than positive aspects? A. Scientist A B. Scientist B C. Scientists B&C D. Scientists B&A
The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team-all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach’s decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness. While the school had been out for the New Year’s holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some. Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn’t back down on her rules. And the players-two junior students and senior students-agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach’s decision. “We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community,” one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been thrown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five left the floor to deafening applause. The team may not win another game this year. But they’ve learnt something about personal responsibility, the effect of one’s action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life. 1.It can be inferred from the passage that five girls who were kicked off the team were_. A. very good players on the team B. addicted to alcohol and drugs C. three junior students and two senior students D. scolded by their parents for drinking alcohol 2.What did the girls do to support their coach’s decision? A. They didn’t fight for Danville High School any more. B. They all gave speeches to apologize in the local press. C. They admitted their mistake in public in the gymnasium. D. They would never drink any alcohol throughout their life. 3.Which word best describes the coach Rainville? A. Indifferent. B. Strict. C. Stubborn. D. Cruel. 4.Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Growing up with pain B. A bad mistake C. Team rules are everything D. Basketball girls in high school
