Getting up early has been regarded as a good habit since ancient times. Many years ago, people thought that if we went to bed early and got up early, we would be energetic the whole day. So, getting up early is of great importance to us all. In fact, morning is the best time of a day. In the morning, the air is the freshest and people are usually in the best conditions. Many of us may have the experiences that we memorize some things more quickly and accurately in the morning than at any other time of the day. If we do some morning exercise or only take a short walk in the morning, we can build our bodies and become much healthier. Also we will have enough time to make a plan and get ready for our work or study of the day if we get up early. However, if we get up late, we'll probably have to do everything in a great hurry. Let us remember getting up early is a good habit and try our best to keep it. If we stick to getting up early every day, we will certainly benefit a lot from it. 【写作内容】 (1)以约30个词概括短文的要点： (2)然后以约120个词就“早起还是晚起好”这个主题发表你的看法，并包括以下要点： ①你是喜欢早起还是晚起； ②结合自己学习或生活的例子，说明你喜欢这样做的理； ③你的父母或教师有何建议； ④你如何看待他们的建议? 【写作要求】 (1) 可以使用实例或其它论述方法支持你的论点，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子； (2) 标题自拟。 【评分标准】 概括准确、语言规范、内容合适、篇章连贯。

The 2012 London Olympics had enough problems to worry about. But one more has just been added -- a communications blackout caused by solar storms. After a period of calm within the Sun, scientists have detected the signs of a flesh cycle of sunspots that could peak in 2012, just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London. Now scientists believe that this peak could result in vast solar explosions that could throw billions of tons of charged matter towards the Earth, causing strong solar storms that could jam the telecommunications satellites and interact links sending five Olympic broadcast from London. "The Sun's activity has a strong influence on the Earth. The Olympics could be in the middle of the next solar maximum which could affect the functions of communications satellites," said Professor Richard Harrison, head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire. At the peak of the cycle, violent outbursts called coronal mass ejections (日冕物质抛射) occur in the Sun's atmosphere, throwing out great quantities of electrically-charged matter. "A coronal mass ejection can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometres per hour. Such events can expose astronauts to a deadly amount, can disable satellites, cause power failures on Earth and disturb communications," Professor Harrison added. The risk is the greatest during a solar maximum when there is the greatest number of sunspots. Next week in America, NASA is scheduled to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity called the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which will take images of the Sun that are 10 times clearer than the most advanced televisions available. The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory helped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture images of the solar flares (太阳耀斑) and explosions as they occur. Professor Richard Harrison, the lab's director, said that the SDO should be able to provide early warning of a solar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite communications on Earth "If we have advanced warning, we'll be able to reduce the damage. What you don't want is things switching off for a week with no idea of what's caused the problem," he said. 1.The phrase "communications blackout" in paragraph 1 most probably refers to____________ during the 2012 Olympics.
2.According to the passage, scientists are convinced that __________.
3.What can be inferred about the solar activity described in the passage?
4.According to the passage, NASA will launch a satellite to _________.
5.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
The UN Environment Programme says that rising temperatures could mean the end for some migrating animals. Migrating or mobile animals move through several environments as they travel away from the cold of winter to warmer areas. Birds may fly from one part of the world to another, perhaps stopping at feeding grounds on the way. Whales and turtles (海龟) cover vast areas of ocean. The report says that changes in any one of the places which these animals use can cause serious harm. "Obviously these animals have developed their travelling patterns over thousands of years. But climate change is almost certain to be extreme over the next 25 to 50 years and it is extremely unlikely that these animals can change their habits fast enough," said the report author Dr Robert Hepworth. Hardest hit by rising temperatures are turtles. Scientists have found that at higher temperatures, turtles produce far more female eggs than male ones. In parts of Malaysia, turtle birthing sites are producing only females, the report says. It also provides evidence that some turtles are more likely to develop cancer as the waters get warmer. With birds, the main problem is climate-related damage to important areas at either end of the travels or at resting places along the way. About one-fifth of migrating birds are now in danger because of climate-related changes including rising sea levels, land loss and more violent storms, the report concludes. Other animals picked out as particularly in danger include: · the North Atlantic Right Whale, whose main food (tiny shrimp) is disturbed by the change in ocean flows and · the White-Nose Dolphin, which is out-competed by other kinds of dolphins in warmer waters. The report is not all bad news. Even with major climatic changes, protecting the environment can still help mobile animals to recover. "We need governments to start taking action at the national and international lever. “The clock is running.” said Dr Hepworth. And some animals are already adapting, with the report mentioning whales that are changing their feeding behaviour, finding new feeding grounds and new foods to eat. 1.What is the main topic of the text?
2.By saying "the clock is running" in the last paragraph, Dr Hepworth means that “_______”.
3.According to the report, how will global warming affect turtles in the future?
4.Which of the following is mentioned as a consequence of rising temperatures?
5.What can be inferred (推断) about turtles from the text?
FOR many young people, having to attend school with a parent would be their worst nightmare. However, Senior 1 student Li Qinmei is happy taking her father with her as long as she can go to classes. He is disabled and unable to take care of himself. The 16-year-old country girl in Zhucheng, Shandong Province has experienced one disaster after another in her short life. Li lost her mother at three. Four years later, her father became paralyzed after a tractor accident. At 12, her misfortune returned with the death of her grandma. Since then she has been forced to shoulder all the responsibility for her broken family. Li learnt to cook and managed to live a life with an allowance of only 24 yuan per month. The most difficult thing she had to deal with was helping her father bathe, dress and use the toilet as he could hardly move. "I felt embarrassed, and so did my dad. It was really hard at the beginning," she recalled. During most of her junior school years, Li went to classes only once a month as her father was seriously ill at the time. "I taught myself at home and asked teachers for help on my school days," she explained. Li's hard work paid off this fall. She was admitted by Zhucheng No 1 High School, a local key school, based on her good performance in the entrance exams. The school offered Li and her father a room on campus to live in so she could look after him during breaks. Once in a while, Li felt sad when she saw her classmates going shopping or hanging out with friends. "I envy them sometimes because they have both mum and dad to look after them. However, I soon feel relieved as I still have my dad with me," she said. Li admitted that the difficulties in life had taught her to be strong. "I believe I will go on and continue my studies at a good university," she said, in a confident tone. Her teacher Mr. Wang has the same belief. Li made great progress in the recent monthly exams. "She works hard and is always eager to excel (好强的). It's not easy for her never to be late for school, but she has managed to make it work," Wang said. 1.Li Qinmei has to shoulder the family because ________.

When China’s ancient scientific and technological achievements are mentioned, the nation will generally refer to the Four Great inventions. The four symbolic 26 (create) – compass, papermaking, printing and gunpowder -- 27 pride of China’s 5,000-thousand-year-old culture, because of their 28 (recognize) role in the development of human civilization. 29 is therefore no surprise that the recent proposal by a group of scholars 30 (redefine) the Four Great Invention has caused a heated reaction. According to the proposed new version, papermaking and printing 31 (merge) into one entry, and compass and gunpowder are delisted. The three new inclusions are silk, bronze and porcelain, 32 proposers said could more scientifically exhibit the most advanced and most influential scientific contributions of ancient China. The question of 33 the Four Great Invention should be is of course open to the debate. The 34 (late) redefinition attempt, which is reported based on careful studies of available written records and antiques, can at least help today’s people, the younger generation, 35 particular, know more about the brilliance of ancient Chinese civilization.
Most people believe they don’t have much imagination. They are 11 . Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to 12 it. Creativity isn’t always 13 with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time 14 think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you. Making connections. This technique involves taking 15 ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words 16 with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the 17 to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original 18 ; you could buy him tickets to match or take him out for the night. NO limits! Imagine that normal limitations don’t 19 . You have as much time /space / money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new 20 . If your goal is to learn to ski, 21 , you can now practise skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now 22 this to reality. Maybe you can practise skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January. Be someone else! Look at the situation from a 23 point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the 24 in their books. They ask questions: What does this character want? Why can’t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their 25 . The best fishermen think like fish!

Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the sea to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down at the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and throwing it into the ocean. As he got closer, he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?’’ The young man paused, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfishes (海星) in the ocean.” “I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfishes in the ocean?” “The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don’t throw them in, they’ll die”. “But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfishes all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!” The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, and said, “It made a difference for that one.” There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can know that gift, we will gain through the strength of our vision of the power to shape the future.

Last night I had the best gift ever. My older son was reading a detective novel while my younger son was reading fairy tales. They were each in different rooms, engrossed in their books with no TV, music or anything else distracting (使分心) their attention. I read a lot during my childhood, curling (蜷缩) up in sofa or lying in bed. Like anyone else, I had lots of other interests, but once I discovered reading, I really enjoyed it. I read everything — books, magazines, newspapers, even the back of food packages if there was nothing else to read at the moment. I must thank my parents for their love of reading. Longing for more information and knowledge, my parents were always reading a lot. Today’s children are provided with a variety of choices. It is so easy for them to become uninterested in reading and to view it as boring, uncool and unnecessary. There are TVs with astonishing choices of programs; there are MP3 players with thousands of songs at their fingertips; there are the Internet and mobile phones. I’ve told my sons that reading comes with information, understanding and connection, each of which will help them at every stage in their lives now and forever. So when my sons were reading their books last night, I watched them, noticing them put a bookmark into their books. That’s the most amazing gift that I have ever received. 1.The best title for this passage is _____. A. My Two Sons B. An Amazing Gift C. My Favorite, Reading D. Let’s Read Together 2.The phrase “engrossed in” in the second paragraph can be replaced by “_____”. A. connected by B. separated by C. devoted to D. worried about 3.What does the author think of TVs, MP3 players, the Internet and mobile phones? A. They are boring, uncool and unnecessary. B. They are too expensive for a family to afford. C. They might distract children’s attention. D. They might enrich children’s lives and make them happy. 4.According to the passage, the author’s best gift is _____. A. her sons’ love for reading B. reading books alone C. bookmarks from her sons D. having a happy family
