If you stayed up or had a bad night of sleep last night， you know it's difficult to stay awake in class today． Your teacher's voice might begin to sound like a lullaby（催眠曲）．1.To keep yourself awake， some tips are worth trying in class． Sit in the front of the room． Why？2.Besides， it'll be easier to pay attention and participate when you're in the front． You'll also be near the people who are more likely to participate， and the sound of their voices might keep you awake． 3.Ask and answer questions and pay attention to the lecture． This will help if you're tired or discouraged by the content of the lecture， because you can ask your teacher questions to get to the bottom of the problems． Talking will also keep you engaged and alert． It might be helpful to make a goal for yourself to answer or ask at least 3questions per class．4.For example， you might say "I didn't understand the last part of the proof． Could you explain it again in more detail？" Listen actively to the lesson． Active listening is a great way to force yourself to stay awake because it requires engagement of your mind as well as your body．5.To effectively listen to your teacher， you should try to maintain eye contact， face the speaker， pay close attention to what the speaker is saying and ask questions during a pause in the lecture． A． Participate in class activities． B． Develop interest in the subject． C． If so， classrooms can be boring because you're tired． D． Keep silent all the time and try to catch as much information as possible． E． To avoid annoying your teacher you should try to keep your questions on topic． F． You'll be more motivated to stay awake if you know that the teacher can see you easily． G． Practicing active listening can help you keep your eyes open for the length of the lesson．
Maths and Music An excellent way to kill a conversation is to say you are a mathematician． Tell others you are also a musician， however， and they will be hooked． Although there are obvious similarities between mathematical and musical activity， there is no direct evidence for the kind of magical connection many people seem to believe in． I'm partly referring here to the "Mozart effect"， where children who have been playing Mozart compositions are supposedly more intelligent， including at maths， than other children． It is not hard to see why such a theory would be popular： we would all like to become better at maths without putting in any effort． But the conclusions of the experiment that expressed the belief in the Mozart effect were much more modest． If you want your brain to work better， you clearly have to put in hard work． As for learning to play the piano， it also takes effort． Surely a connection is quite reasonable． Both maths and music deal with abstract structures， so if you become good at one， then it is likely that you become good at something more general that helps you with the other． If this is correct， it would show a connection between mathematical and musical ability． It would be more like the connection between abilities at football and tennis． To become better at one， you need to improve your fitness and coordination （协调）． That makes you better at sport and probably helps with the other． Abstract structures don't exist only in maths and music． If you learn a language then you need to understand its abstract structures like grammar． Yet we don't hear people asking about a connection between mathematical and linguistic （语言的） ability． Maybe this is because grammar feels mathematical， so it wouldn't be surprising that mathematicians were better at learning grammar． Music， however， is strongly tied up with feelings and can be enjoyed even by people who know little about it． As such， it seems different from maths， so there wouldn't be any connection between the two． Let's see how we solve problems of the "A is to B as C is to D" kind． These appear in intelligence tests but they are also important to both music and maths． Consider the opening of Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik （小夜曲）． The second phrase （小节） is a clear answer to the first． The listener thinks： "The first phrase goes upward and uses the notes of a G major chord （和弦）； what would be the corresponding phrase that goes downward and uses the notes of a D7？" Music is full of puzzles like this． If you are good at them， expectations will constantly be set up in your mind． The best moments surprise you by being unexpected， but we need the expectations in the first place． 1.What does the author say about "Mozart effect"？ ______ A. The goal of it was not carefully thought about． B. The findings from it gave people wrong information． C. The interest people showed in it was unexpected． D. The way it was carried out proved to be ineffective． 2.The author mentioned football and tennis in Paragraph 3to show that ______ ． A. football and tennis are played in a similar way． B. certain skills may be developed through practice． C. music and maths have something in common． D. abstract structures bring benefits to various fields． 3.We can infer from Paragraph 4that ______ ． A. language seems more like maths than music does． B. language is less appealing to learners． C. mathematicians are good at music learning． D. the structure of language is easier to learn than that of music． 4.What does the writer intend to state in the last paragraph？ ______ A. How music differs from maths． B. Why musicians possess mathematical abilities． C. Why Mozart is so highly considered by mathematicians． D. How abstract thinking applies to both music and maths．
There is an ancient Chinese story about a giant man named Kua Fu who chases the sun. He drains (喝干) the Yellow and Wei rivers during his race and finally dies of dehydration(脱水). His failure has reminded people of the unstoppable power of the sun for centuries. And yet, scientists throughout history have tried to better understand the most important star in our sky. On Aug 12, 2018, NASA launched the Parker Solar Probe(探测器), marking the start of its trip to the sun. The probe itself is almost as big as a car and needed the help of a powerful rocket to escape Earth's orbit, change direction and reach the sun. In order to reach the sun, the probe must complete seven flight of Venus, using the power of the planet's gravity to change its path, sending it toward the sun. But that's not the only difficult part of the journey. As the probe approaches the sun's corona(日冕), it will have to bear temperatures reaching 1,400 C, as well as deal with serious radiation. So how will the probe survive? According to NASA, a special shield (保护罩) has been used, which is a special 11.5 cm-thick carbon-composite shield that will be positioned between the probe and the sun's corona. Its advanced technology like this will make the probe's trip to the sun much smoother. If everything goes as planned, the probe will reach a speed of 692,018 kilometers per hour as it orbits the sun, setting a new record for the fastest man-made object in history, NBC noted. It will fly close to the sun 24 times between 2018 and 2025, NBC added. The "mission to touch the sun" will "not only make history by answering questions that have puzzled scientists for decades, but it may also lead to the discovery of new phenomena that are completely unknown to us now," Raouafi told Discovery Magazine. "This mission has the potential to push solar research into a new direction," he added. 1.What does "it" underlined in paragraph 2 refer to? A. A powerful rocket. B. The probe. C. Venus. D. The planet's gravity. 2.What do we know about the Parker Solar Probe? A. It’s the fastest probe ever designed. B. It has an 11.5-inch-thick shield. C. It was designed to carry a powerful rocket. D. It’s twice the size of a car. 3.The probe will meet the challenges except ________. A. the route to the sun B. the heat near the sun C. the distance to the sun D. the radiation from the sun 4.What’s the main purpose of the last paragraph? A. To stress the importance of advanced technology. B. To prove the mission is the greatest move in human history. C. To suggest there is a long way to go in solar exploration. D. To show the mission will fill a gap in solar research.
How old is too old to go trick-or-treating? Chesapeake of Virginia says the answer to that question is anyone over the age of 12. City officials recently announced that doorbell-ringing candy seekers over the age of 12 could face a charge, up to six months in jail, and $25 to $100 fines. They're far from alone. Meridian of Mississippi, Bishopville of South Carolina, and Boonsboro of Maryland, also have set the age at 12. The phenomenon isn't limited to the US: In 2017, Bathurst, a town in Canada, banned anyone older than 16. Officials say they won't be actively looking to catch teenage trick-or-treaters in the act. The age limits are part of a broader push to limit pranks and tricks. Some parents think that preventing older kids from participating in Halloween traditions will have the opposite effect. A Facebook post last year argued that all kids, regardless of age, should be allowed to take part in trick-or-treating. It was shared more than 4,000 times, with close to 700 comments. Some parents argued that kids shouldn't be spoiled. Others argued that even older kids should be encouraged to take part in it in the sense of wonder and excitement, and most said they were willing to give candy to whoever dressed up. That seems consistent with the scientific studies that play is essential to help children develop into healthy, well-adapted people, and that play encourages kids to develop collaboration and creativity. Given how over-scheduled, anxious, and unhappy today's teens are, maybe a little Halloween magic is exactly in order. 1.How many American cities that have set the limit of going trick-or-treating are mentioned? A. One city. B. Two cities. C. Three cities. D. Four cities. 2.Why did the officials decide to prevent teens from going trick-or-treating? A. Because the teens are too old to go trick-or-treating.. B. Because it is thought that the teens will do something harmful. C. Because some parents are afraid that kids can be spoiled. D. Because that seems consistent with the scientific studies. 3.What may most people agree with according to the passage? A. All people should take part in the Halloween traditional activities. B. Halloween tradition is no longer as attractive as before. C. It's not a good idea to limit the age of going trick-or treating. D. Play is necessary to help children develop into healthy and well-adapted people. 4.What is the author's attitude towards the age limit of going trick-or-treating? A. disapproving B. objective C. favorable D. indifferent

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Being a superhero to others Ewan Drum has always liked superheroes. He likes how they help people. At age seven, he told his parents, “I want to dress up like a superhero and help the homeless. ” 1.Wearing his red superhero cape (斗篷), Ewan helped pass out 70 bag lunches to hungry people in a park in Detroit, Michigan. That’s how Super Ewan was born. 2.People donated(捐赠) money and supplies (供给物), and Ewan took them to those in need. When someone donated jugs(大罐) of water, Ewan and his family drove their car to get even more. They took the water to Flint, Michigan, a city that had unsafe drinking water. Another time, a businessman donated six turkeys(火鸡) for Thanksgiving.3.“In the end”, he says,“we gave 64 turkey dinners to families all around Detroit.” Ewan has a motto: Everyone can be a superhero to someone. At an event called the Hero Round Table, Ewan told the audience,“It’ s not hard to help people.You can keep some socks and food in your car to help people in need. You can help a neighbor with doing the garden. 4. .” It' s been several years since Super Ewan started his task. Every month, he still visits the same park to hand out clothes, food, and supplies to people who are hungry or homeless ---his Super Friends. 5. “No matter what, ”Ewan says, “I will always keep helping people.” A.News spread about Ewan’ s act of kindness. B. This superhero says he’ ll never take off his cape. C. Ewan says he wants more adults to act like superheroes. D. Every little thing helps and can make someone feel happy. E.

It’s hard to talk to Dad sometimes. His silence about his feelings and thoughts made him mysterious and hard to see through. You could never break his hard shell and get to know him. And he seemed to want to stay that way too. But a year ago when my relationship with my wife and career took a hit, I needed my dad to pull back the curtain so I could see him as real and accessible. I was facing serious problems, and I wanted to know whether he had faced them before and how he had found his way, because I felt like I had lost mine. In desperation, it occurred to me that sending an email might be the key, so I wrote him one, telling him about my regrets and fears, and I asked him to answer, if he felt like it. Two weeks later, it showed up in my inbox: a muchthought, threepage letter. Dad, a 68yearold retired technologist and grandfather of four, had carefully considered my message, and crafted a response. He mentioned his lost love, the foolish mistake he made in career and the stupid pride he had between him and his parents. He comforted me that “life will still find its right track despite many of its twists and turns”. I closed the email and started to cry, because I wished I had opened it up earlier but was grateful it wasn’t too late. I cried because at first, in the midst of my own struggles, his letter instantly put me at ease. And I cried because in the end, it was so simple: I just had to hit “Send”. We’ve since had many email exchanges. This increasing communication opened a door into his world. My problems haven’t been magically solved, but getting to know my dad better has made the tough stuff more manageable and life sweeter. It’s hard to talk to Dad sometimes, but I’m glad I found a way to talk to mine. 1.The author’s dad can be best described as ________. A. quiet and caring B. optimistic and careless C. selfish and lonely D. indifferent and serious 2.The underlined part in Paragraph 2 can be best replaced by “________”. A. draw the curtain B. become more optimistic C. show his true self D. clear the misunderstanding 3.What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Communication Is the Best Policy. B. Emails from My Dad. C. A Man of Few Words. D. My Mysterious Dad. 4.Which of the following is NOT true? A. My dad’s email was quickly written. B. I was moved when reading the email. C. The email contained much information. D. I wished I could have consulted him earlier.
Nola (August 21, 1974 -November 22, 2015) was a northern white rhino(犀牛) who lived at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park near Escondido, California. At her death, she was one of only four remaining northern white rhinos in the world. The other three lived in Kenya. World Rhino Day, held on September 2, is to raise awareness(意识) of the less than 30,000 other rhinos left on Earth. “Rhinos need our help today, not tomorrow,”Nola’s lead keeper Jane Kennedy said. “Last year we lost over 1,200 rhinos just in South Africa. If we continue to lose more than 1,000 rhinos a year, in 10 to 20 years all the rhinos on the planet will be gone.” “Unfortunately, most animals are in danger of dying out because of humans,” Kennedy says.“ Humans have either poached animals, or because there are over seven billion of us, we’ ve taken up too much of the world’s resources ”. Poachers illegally hunt rhinos for their horns. They sell the horns for thousands of dollars per pound, to be used for art, jewelry, and decorations.Experts believe that one rhino is poached every eight hours. In 1975, the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research started the Frozen Zoo, a program through which researchers have collected cell (细胞) samples from more than 8,000 different types of animals, including the northern white rhino. Scientists hope that by studying the rhino cells, they will get greater understanding of it, and will find ways to increase its numbers. Jane Kennedy describes World Rhino Day as “a celebration of rhinos along with an awareness campaign for everybody across the world to know that rhinos need our help.”At the San Diego Zoo, children and adults are welcome to visit and speak with zookeepers to learn about rhinos. But you don’ t have to live in San Diego to celebrate World Rhino Day.
