As is known to all that we students have to fix our attention on our lessons, so we know few of society. A holiday is the best time and the best chance to make up that. Take a part-time job is a good form of social practice. Neither that we have learned in books nor in class can have the same important effect on us as what we have learned through personally practice. In social practice, we can surely make a rapid progress in both knowledge and practical ability. However, when we take part-time jobs, we may get paid more or less to help our families. Thus, I suggested we senior school students should take part-time jobs in our holiday, if possible.

    Do you have a hobby? Something you look forward to spending your time with? Something you love to do?1. Or making model airplanes. Sketching. Or making useful things out of waste material. It could be a musical instrument that you love playing. Or singing and dancing.

There are many things that a hobby can give you, apart from an enjoyable time. Sashay was a shy boy but through his interest in model airplanes he learned the value of sticking to a task until it was finished. His model airplane club brought him to get into touch with similar souls.2.

Having a hobby helps you relax and get away from the routines of school.3. You really need this well deserved one, too! It gives you focus, self dependence, confidence and builds your personality. This is an opportunity to lose yourself in an enjoyable activity, away from the pressure of school, so at the end of it, you feel relaxed and yet, mentally charged.

Your hobby defines you.4.And it also shows you what you are good at, and how far you can go, when you apply yourself.

5..For a hobby is: Happiness: something which you look forward to doing. Opportunity: to nurture and develop your special and unique skills and celebrate them. Believe in yourself: makes you understand your strong advantages and improves your confidence. Best in you: brings out your best—for in each one of us there is a best that is only ours. YOU gives you a unique character, and makes you YOU!

A. So go ahead and develop a hobby.

B. It gives you a break.

C. It proves your ability.

D. Hobbies show your character.

E. It shows your special skills.

F. It could be collecting something.

G. He learned to make friends for the first time.

Ever since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s, gentically mondified (GM, 转基因) foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in the word,mainly on the basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis. But can GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would, is it the best solution?

Despite what it promises, GM technology actually has not increased the production potential    of any corp. In fact, studies show that the most widely grown GM crop. GM soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity. For instance, a report than analysed nearly two decades of research on mojor GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.

Something else, however, has been on the rise, While GM seeds are expensive, GM companies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides（杀虫剂）. On the contrary, US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops. “The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production. But nether is true,” said Bill Christison, President of the US National Farm Coalition.

At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution and politics. These indeed deserve our efforts and money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food, according to a 2008 World Bank report.

As a matter of fact, scientists see better ways to feed the world. Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are available, among which “green” farming is supposed to be the first choice.

1.The author develops the second paragraph mainly      .

A.by classification B.by comparison

C.by example D.by process

2.What does the underlined word “boost ” in the third paragraph probably mean?

A.Control. B.Evaluate C.Obtain. D.Increase.

3.GM companies promise farmers that they will benefit from ______________.

A.practicing “green” farming B.use of less chemicals

C.fair distribution of their crops D.using more crops for fuel

4.Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards GM technology?

A.Optimistic B.Defensive C.Disapproving D.Casual

Celebrity(名人) has become one of the most important representatives of popular culture. Fans used to be crazy about a specific film, but now the public tends to base its consumption(消费) on the interest of celebrity attached to any given product. Besides, fashion magazines have almost abandoned the practice of putting models on the cover because they don’t sell nearly as well as famous faces. As a result, celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful market potential, moving from advertising for others’ products to developing their own.

Celebrity clothing lines aren’t a completely new phenomenon, but in the past they were typically aimed at the ordinary consumers, and limited to a few TV actresses. Today they’re started by first-class stars whose products enjoy equal fame with some world top brands. The most successful start-ups have been those by celebrities with specific personal style. As celebrities become more and more experienced at the market, they expand their production scale rapidly, covering almost all the products of daily life.

However, for every success story, there’s a related warning tale of a celebrity who overvalued his consumer appeal. No matter how famous the product’s origin is, if it fails to impress consumers with its own qualities it begins to resemble an exercise in self-promotional marketing. And once the initial(最初的) attention dies down, consumer interest might fade, loyalty(忠诚) returning to tried-and-true labels.

Today, celebrities face even more severe embarrassment. The pop-cultural circle might be bigger than ever, but its rate of turnover has speeded up as well. Each misstep threatens to reduce a celebrity’s shelf life, and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him fame has no problem picking him to pieces when the opportunity appears. Still, the ego’s(自我的) potential for expansion is limitless. Having already achieved great wealth and public recognition, many celebrities see fashion as the next frontier to be conquered. As the saying goes, success and failure always go hand in hand. Their success as designers might last only a short time, but fashion—like celebrity—has always been temporary.

1.Fashion magazines today        .

A.seldom put models on the cover

B.no longer put models on the cover

C.need not worry about celebrities’ market potential

D.judge the market potential of every celebrity correctly

2.A change in the consumer market can be found today that        .

A.price rather than brand name is more concerned

B.producers prefer models to celebrities for advertisements

C.producers prefer TV actresses to film stars for advertisements

D.quality rather than the outside of products is more concerned

3.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 indicates that any wrong step will possibly        .

A.decrease the popularity of a celebrity and the sales of his products

B.damage the image of a celebrity in the eyes of the general public

C.cut short the artistic career of a celebrity in show business

D.influence the price of a celebrity’s products

4.The passage is mainly about        .

A.celebrity and personal style B.celebrity and market potential

C.celebrity and fashion design D.celebrity and clothing industry

    On a cold winter day, many years ago, a French art teacher named Pierre Chevalier got on a train in Lyon to go to Paris. When he started his journey, he did not know that it was the beginning of almost 40 years of accidents and near death experiences.

During the journey, the train fell into an icy river, killing 12 passengers. Chevalier managed to swim back to the river bank. He only had a broken leg.

Two years later, Chevalier was on a plane from Paris to Moscow when a door suddenly opened and he fell out. A few minutes later, the plane crashed; 27 people were killed. Chevalier was so lucky that he landed in a haystack(干草堆).

A few years later, he was hit by a bus, but again had no serious injuries. Then a year after that, he was driving on a mountain road when he saw a truck coming straight at him. He drove the car off the road, jumped out, landed in a tree--and watched his car fall 100 meters down the mountain.

"There are two ways you can look at it," Chevalier said. "I' m either the world' s unluckiest man, or the world' s luckiest." When a reporter asked Chevalier what he thought, he chose the "luckiest" one.

Two years ago, aged 71, Chevalier bought his first lottery ticket(彩票) in 50 years and won more than 2 million. After this, a TV company in America said they wanted him to make an advertisement. At first he accepted, but then he changed his mind. Chevalier said he would not fly to Los Angeles for the filming, because he did not want to push his luck. Who knows? If he had accepted the invitation, maybe he would have had another accident. But Mr. Chevalier is a lucky man. If he had had another accident, he probably would have survived that too!

1.In the train accident many years ago, Chevalier______.

A.didn't get injured at all B.was finally pulled out of the river

C.was lucky enough to be alive D.was the only passenger to survive

2.Why did Chevalier refuse to make the advertisement?

A.Because he had won ￡2 million. B.Because he didn’t want to risk his life.

C.Because he didn’t want to leave home. D.Because he didn't like the TV company.

3.The text mainly talks about______.

A.a man with nine lives B.the unluckiest man in the world

C.a man who traveled around the world D.a man who earned ￡2 million in a lottery

In order to promote participation in outdoors exercise, our school organized an activity to climb a mountain on April 10. The majority of my class took part in the activity.

Early in the morning, having gathered outside the school gate, we head straight to the thickly-forested mountain. We set out for the top and were in high spirits the moment when we arrived at the foot of the mountain. In course of the climb, we cooperated with each other to pass the rocky area. Laughing and cheered, we eventually reached the top, which we were greeted by the bright sunshine and fresh air. Viewing from the top, the city was beautiful. Bathed in the sunshine, we entertained us with songs, dances and game.

This event is extremely beneficial and we strongly suggest that similar events are held every year!

    There is one thing that can ruin vacations, make business meetings less than successful, and can cause more problems than anything else for air travelers. Jet lag!

1.The travel time is too fast for the human body to adjust easily. Long distance air travel to a new time zone disrupts (打乱) three important senses: the sense of place, the sense of time, and the sense of well-being.

Sense of place: To some degree, all locations are geographically and even chemically different from one another. Humans, like all living things, have a strong sense of place. 2.

Sense of time: We all also have a natural sense of time that is linked to our sense of place. Our bodies function on a program that takes about a day to run.3.This is why travel to a distant time zone makes us miss the usual hometown patterns of something as simple as the times of sunrise and sunset.

Sense of well-being: We have a sense of well-being when we are healthy and happy. 4.That is why flying to a new environment and time zone often causes a disruption in our sense of well-being.

For thousands of years, people didn’t experience disruption in their sense of time and place because there were no rapid means of transportation.5. However, although we can travel by plane now, our bodies have not yet adapted to long-distance air travel. That is why we suffer the jet lag.

A.The invention of the airplane changed all this.

B.We can make the effort to overcome the jet lag.

C.They sense the different qualities of dawn, noon, and midnight.

D.Jet lag results from traveling a long distance to a new zone.

E.This sense is strongly connected to our senses of place and time.

F.It took weeks, months, years, or even generations to travel great distances.

G.This makes people homesick for familiar surroundings and wish for their own bed

    Looking out across the city and on top of the tall buildings before you are cows. Yes, you read that right. Farm animals are eating grass on high-rise urban farms on top of high buildings in London. Elsewhere, off the coast of mainland England, against the background of extremely beautiful White Cliffs of Dover, a wonderful pod (吊舱) structure forms part of floating city. This is how we will live 100 years from now — if a group of UK experts to be believed.

Temporary housing pods, underwater cities and 3D-printed houses will also help reduce the burden of overpopulation and inner city living-space shortages. Building with their own microclimates and cities built in the skies are also among the amazing achievements of future engineering predicted by experts.

But not only today’s architects continue to advance towards the clouds, building higher and higher, as engineering advances allow, but we’ll also be headed deep below ground. Meanwhile, the future will feature city-spanning (跨城市) bridges. Want to travel to Mars quickly? No problem — the experts are predicting spaceports (宇航基地) will become common places, so future generations will be able to head over to their local station and hitch (搭顺风车) the next ride.

The predictions were heavily focused on water - based architecture and present problems such as overpopulation, global warming and rising sea levels. Using the future tech predictions, 2,000 people were then surveyed to see which of the suggestions they thought — and hoped — would become a reality by 2115. Topping the survey was super-deep basement buildings complete with hotels, restaurants, green space, swimming pools and gyms. The survey also found that one in three respondents (调查对象) considered floating sea cities — which could use solar and tidal (潮汐的) energy — as a choice for future development.

1.The first paragraph is meant to ______.

A.present the topic B.make a comment

C.give an example D.draw a conclusion

2.The second paragraph mainly talks about ______.

A.different kinds of building structures.

B.recent development of building structures.

C.means to control the increase of population.

D.future building structures helping to solve the lack of living space.

3.The underlined phrase “local station” refers to ______.

A.air station B.traveling agency

C.spaceport D.traveling destination

4.What did people surveyed consider most practical?

A.City-spanning bridges B.Deep underground buildings

C.Floating sea cities D.slightly-deep basements

    Christmas at the mountain cline would have to wait. The banks beside Mary Breckinridge’s Wendover, Kentucky, clinic were ruined after a heavy rain. She had to find a way to get her five patients to the hospital in Lexington.

With a neighbor’s help, Mary and the nurses built a boat. They named it Ambulance, and on the morning of December 30,1926. Mary another nurse, and the patients set off down the river. After sixteen wild miles on the dangerous river, they arrived at the train station in Krypton. As she watched the train pull away with her patients safely on board. Mary smiled and waved.

Mary had not planned to be a nurse. She was the daughter of a wealthy Kentucky politician. As a child, Mary was influenced by her family who had always been concerned about the poorer people of the state. When she grew up, Mary was inspired to become a nurse. So in 1925 Mary hired a few British-trained nurses and, with some money from her family, started the Frontier Nursing Service in Wendover, Kentucky.

Before Mary and her nurses came, the mountain people lived a hard life. Families made so little money that they could not afford doctors or medicine. Many children had diseases and nearly every person was malnourished for lack of food.

Mary and the nurses built clinics and a small hospital deep in the forests of Leslie County. There were no paved roads, electricity, or telephones. Each day the nurses rode on horseback to outlying farms, often in bad wenther, to answer calls for help. They worked hard to keep an eye on their patients.

To the grateful mountain people, Mary and the nurses seemed to be everywhere. They treated everything from cut fingers to pneumonia (肺炎), gave shots, and delivered babies. The proud countrymen liked the nurses because they treated everyone with respect.

The Frontier Nursing Service grew. Today their Nursing Service reaches far beyond the Kentucky mountains. Medical professionals from all over the world come to Wendover to study rural health care in action. When these men and women go back to their own countries, they are prepared to help people in need.

1.How did Mary Breckinridge get her five patients to Krypton?

A.By train B.By car

C.By water D.On horseback

2.The underlined word “malnourished” in Paragraph 4 most probably means     .

A.mysterious B.lacking nutrition

C.careless D.in danger of dying

3.We can learn from the text that Mary Breckinridge     .

A.remains a great influence on health care today

B.wanted to set up more clinics to help the sick

C.wiped out diseases in the Kentucky mountains

D.trained all of her assistants herself

4.What is the main idea of the text?

A.Mary and her family were always helpful to others

B.The Frontier Nursing Service set up many branches

C.Rural nurses found creative ways to transport supplies and patients

D.Mary and other nurses provided kind medical care to rural people

In my life I have met many people who really worth recalling. But perhaps the most unforgettable person is my Chinese teacher. He gave us the best gift the teacher can offer: a passion for learning. He not only taught me to appreciate the beauty of Chinese literature, but also arouse our interest in exploring something deeper. Beside, I was attracted by his lively teach style. We were always longing for his class with great eager because his lectures were humorously delivered. Finally, I was deeply impressed by the respect he showed for us, for he treated us like friend rather than, students. Since it is nearly ten years since I attended to his last class, I know part of him has already stayed in my heart.

Helpful tips for college-bound seniors

Researching a college is one of the most time-consuming tasks that you'll encounter.1.For example, what classes and facilities the college has to offer, and what sports it offers. After narrowing your choices to a group of colleges, you'll have to start to research these in depth.2.He or she may be able to help you find things about the colleges that you could not get yourself.

Knowing what you want to study is another key to looking for a college.3.By knowing what I want to do, I can then look at colleges that I've been thinking about applying to and narrow my choices down. If a college doesn't have the courses I need, then it's definitely out of the picture.

Another key thing to look for is the college's testing requirements.4. Some colleges also require an SAT II test in certain areas, for example English or Math. Remember to look at a college’s GPA requirements, too. You may find a college where there's everything you want, but your GPA isn't high enough to be considered. In this case you may need to attend a junior college for one or two years.

5.At this point you may want to have a long discussion with your parents, and find out how much they're willing and able to spend on college. If it isn't enough to cover your full tuition, then you may want to apply for financial aid or a scholarship. And your final option maybe looking for a college that doesn’t cost as much.

A. All colleges require an SAT or an ACT test.

B. And lastly, but definitely not the least, is tuition.

C. Look for a college now if you plan on attending one.

D. You need to find out many basics about possible colleges.

    The alarm sounds. Students swing their backpack over their shoulders, board the school bus, make their way to their homeroom and the bell rings - school is back. But for more homes in America, school looks more like students waking up, making their way to the dining room or home office, setting up laptops and learning in the comfort of home.

Virtual(虚拟的) schooling, defined as “a public school that offers only instruction in which students and teachers are separated by time and/or location, and interaction occurs via computers and/or telecommunications(电信) technologies'”, has increased over the past decade. According to the National Education Policy Center, enrollments(入学) in virtual schools increased by 17,000 students between 2015-16 and 2016-17 to 295,51 8 students.

For Arizona Virtual Academy, a full online public K-12 charter school, they use K12 Inc. curriculum. K12 serves students in all 50 states and more than 100 countries with digital learning platforms and technology, providing on line education. “We always are improving our platforms and the technology that we use to make sure that we're keeping up with the changing trends, not only with education but also with technology,'” Dr. Kelly Van Sande said. Another piece of new technology they've rolled out is a new app where parents can find virtual schools available in their area.

Carrie Faulkner chose to enroll two of her children in Arizona Virtual Academy. She says they've done schooling online in Chicago, in California, at restaurants, and on her cousin's floor in Kansas. “It doesn't matter whether he/her son) is on the couch, in his bed or at the kitchen table-he can do schooling wherever he wants to,” Faulkner said. “I wish they had it for me back when I was in school. That would have been awesome.”

    When a disaster strikes, humanitarian agencies (人道主义机构) like The World Food Programme (WFP) need information more than anything else. They need a clear picture of the damage to roads and bridges, for example, to be able to take quick action.

WFP has published a picture of damage to the epicenter (震中) of the earthquake which struck Haiti. The picture, which has been produced in the form of a satellite-based map, shows great damage to the epicenter, where 90% of the buildings were destroyed. In the map, one pixel (像素) stands for half a meter of land. That's a very close look of how things are on the ground. It helped rescue teams a lot.

WFP's Emergency Preparedness and Response Branch produced a series of clear maps showing the damage of Haiti. The maps have been produced in partnership with a research and development institute called In formation Technology for Humanitarian Assistance, Cooperati on and Action (ITHACA). The organization was set up years ago especially to work with WFP in bringing developments of satellite technology into its response to disasters. Just a few years ago, this would have meant having to wait for helicopters to overfly areas and for human beings to physically see the damage. The satellites which operate around high above our heads are of great help. They are able to see through clouds, which is helpful when weather conditions prevent the use of optical instruments(光学仪器) .

Now both WFP and ITHACA have teams working around the clock to make use of more new technologies to help people actively deal with natural disasters. “Deaths and injuries from natural disasters can be reduced if the disaster can be predicted. Several disaster prediction technologies have been developed over the years. We are also working hard to provide a more effective instrument to predict natural disasters,” said Riccardo Roscelli, president of ITHACA.

1.According to Paragraph 1, what does WFP extremely need after a disaster?

A.Doctors and volunteers.

B.Medical and food supplies.

C.The information about the damage.

D.The details about the causes of the disaster.

2.What does the author mainly want to show us when he mentions the Haitian earthquake in Paragraph 2?

A.The satellite-based map is useful. B.It was a very serious earthquake.

C.It caused many injuries and deaths. D.The picture of the damage is unclear.

3.What is the unique advantage of the satellites compared with optical instruments?

A.They can be used as the substitution of helicopters.

B.They can reduce deaths and injuries from natural disasters.

C.They can be operated around high above our heads.

D.They can see through clouds in bad weather conditions.

4.What can we learn from Riccardo Roscelli's words in the last paragraph?

A.It is not easy for people to predict natural disasters.

B.Natural disasters can cause more terrible consequences.

C.They are trying to find out a better disaster prediction instrument.

D.They have studied disaster prediction technologies for years.

    The desire to sleep late can be almost too much to resist at weekends. This Saturday morning, though, there was something important enough to get me up early. Yawning widely, I got out of bed and put on some old jeans and a T-shirt. After combing the house for work gloves, my dad came up with a pair my mother used for gardening and took them along.

We hopped(跳) in the car and headed into Boston. Guided by my directions, Dad was somehow-able to get us to our destination: a row of two-story houses. They were in the process of being built,mostly by volunteers like us.

After grabbing a huge leather tool belt, I met the people I would be working with. Virginia, James and Wilbur were all more than twice my age but treated me like a peer(同龄人). We got to work nailing the frames of walls. By lunch break I had hit what seemed like every tough spot in the whole house, and pried(撬起) countless bent nails. The rest of the day went by quickly as I gained efficiency with my hammer. Soon it was time to pack up.

As l was leaving, a woman came into the house. She saw the progress we'd made upstairs and started looking around the rooms. Then I realized who the woman was-her family would be living in the house. As she walked through each room, I could see her planning where furniture would go.

Even though I had only been there one short day out of weeks of construction. I felt a great sense of accomplishment. When these houses finished, six families would have nice homes.

Thanks go to Habitat for Humanity for giving me such an opportunity to make a difference in others' lives. Habitat for Humanity is an international organization. Local information can be found by visiting www: habitat. org. You are welcome to join and be part of the change you want to see in your community.

On New Year’s Day, I went to a stamp exhibition, what proved to be an unique experience.

At 9:30, I arrived at the exhibition with my precious stamp album, eager and excited. To my delighted, there gathered crowds of stamp lover. Immediately, I joined in them and studied the stamps one by one. I was attracted by the artists’ delicate designs and wanted to learn more. Then some of us got together in small groups to share our collections, chat cheerfully about the stamps. We even told stories behind it like old friends. Time past quickly and it was time to say goodbye to the friends.
