11、e world to celebrate the1 (important) of good and healthy sleepWorld Sleep Day.Sleep is like food for the brain. Healthy sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. People of different ages need different amounts of sleep. It is said that eight hours per night2 (consider) the average amount of

12、sleep. For students aged 10 to 17, a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours per night. However, last year, the China Youth and Children Research Center 3 (report) that about four4 (five) of middle school students didnt get enough sleep. For some students, they want to sleep early, but they keep

13、 5 (worry) about their schoolwork and cant fall 6 (sleep) quickly. A lack (缺乏) of sleep can greatly affect (影響) a persons life. Students who dont get enough sleep may get poor grades. They cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports.7 (solve) this kind of problem, scientists advise that stude

14、nts should have8 (little) schoolwork and more time to sleep. There are some other ways to help people get enough sleep, such as 9 (take) a 20-minute nap (午睡) during the day, trying to go to sleep earlier and so on . Good sleeping habits are also 10 (help). For example, try to go to sleep and wake up

15、 at the same time every day, even on weekends and during the day. 閱讀理解A13、Elephants losing tusksPeople killing elephants for their tusks has long been a problem worldwide. Although laws have been introduced to ban the selling of tusks, they have not been enough to save the elephants.But the giant an

16、imals have now “developed” their own solution to stay safe from huntersby not growing tusks at all.Scientists found that among female African elephants, as many as 98 percent of them now have no tusks, reported The Independent newspaper. The number was 15 percent in 1998 and only 1 percent in 1930,

17、according to the BBCBut this solution has less been developed by elephants themselves, and more by evolution.Evolution is all about natural selection（選擇）. When an environment changes, for example, animals and plants that can deal with the change will stay alive while others wont. And for elephants,

18、the change came when hunters started killing them for their tusks. As a result, elephants with big tusks couldnt stay alive because hunters wanted to shoot them. Those born with tusks managed to stay alive and give their “tuskless” genes（基因）to their babies. As a result, more and more elephants are n

19、ow being born without tusks.But this solution, as effective（有效地）as it might be, is a high price to pay for elephants. Tusks are important and play a number of roles, especially for male elephants, including fighting with other males, lifting and digging things up.This is why scientists hope there ca

20、n be other ways to protect elephants against hunters. They believe that when they are less likely to be killed , elephants will be able to grow tusks again.To David Cowdrey, head of Policy and Campaigns at the International Found for Animal Welfare UK, however, this is not very likely to happen in t

21、he near future.“Unfortunately, it comes down to the markets,” he told The Guardian. “As long as people will pay high prices for products that come from endangered animal and plants, theyre going to have price on them and that causes the hunting.”1Which of the following is TRUE according to the passa

22、ge?AElephants learned to lift and dig things up without tusks.BElephants chose not to grow tusks because of their dangerous environment.CElephants with no tusks had a greater chance of passing down their genes.DA tuskless elephant gives birth to more baby elephants than an elephant with big tusks.2T

23、he underlined word “evolution” in paragraph 4 means “_” ?Agradual change Bsudden development Ccomplete loss Drapid growth3What can you learn from the last two paragraphs?AWe should work out a better solution to protect elephants.BPeople should pay lower prices for products made with elephant tusks.C

24、Elephants living environments will soon be improved.DThe key to elephant protection is stopping the trade in tusk products.B14、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

25、(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 artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race,” said Professo

26、r Stephen Hawking to the BBCHawking is a well-known British scientist and writer of bestselling science book A Brief History of Time. This warning came after he used the machine particularly made for him. As Hawking suffers from a serious disease called ALS, he needs an AI computer to communicate. T

27、he computer learns how Hawking thinks and suggests the words he may want to use next.Thisis a basic type of AI, which is very useful, yet Hawking is frightened of the possibility of creating technology that can match or surpass human intelligence. And its easy to imagine how terrible things may be.

28、Many TV shows and films display big, killer machines that are far cleverer than us. “Humans cant compete because they are limited by slow biological evolution (生物進化）,” said Hawking.In what direction do you think AI is heading? Should we be hopeful or fearful?1According the passage, AI machines can _

If you are falling, do you believe they will catch you and help you stand up? Our teacher helped us to find the answer.Our teacher is named Morrie. One day,

32、he said that he had a game for us to try. He divided us into two groups. One of the students from the first group, stands in front of us with his eyes closed, and then falls backwards(向后). The second group stand behind him. Before he falls on the floor, they should catch him and not let him get hurt

33、. Most of us were uncomfortable with this. We were afraid that they wouldnt catch us and we would hit the floor. So we didnt move. We just stood there and laughed in embarrassment(尷尬).Finally, one student, thin, quiet, dark-haired girl called Sarah, decided to move. She crossed her arms in front of

34、her body, closed her eyes, and slowly fell backwards. She looked quiet but brave.For a moment, I was sure she was going to fall on the floor. But before she hit the floor, the other students caught her, held her and finally helped her stand up.“Whoa!” we were all surprised, and also encouraged. The

35、girl was happy, too. Seeing this, Morrie smiled and said to the girl, “When you close your eyes, you cant see anything. You wont feel safe. When you are falling, the feeling gets stronger. You are not sure whether you will hit the cold, hard floor or the warm, soft hands of your friends. But if you

36、are brave enough to trust them, they wont let you down.”1According to the passage, we can know Morrie is _.Aa student Ba teacher Ca manager Da farmer2The writer thought the girl was _.Astrong but shy Bactive Cquiet but brave Dcareless3In the end, the girl _.Agot hurtBfell on the floorCwas only helpe

37、d by the writerDwas caught by the other students4The students felt encouraged because _.Athey could stop the game finallyBthey wanted to do something elseCthey thought they had won the gameDthey felt that they could trust each otherD16、 What might life be like if you looked very different from other

38、s? Most of us are lucky to be born with “normal” faces. But the movie Wonder (奇跡男孩) shows us that there is no such things as being normal and that beauty is more than skin-deep.Based on a bestselling novel, the movie is about a boy named Auggie. He has a facial deformity (面部畸形). He has spent most of

39、 his life being home-schooled. But as he enters middle school, his parents decide to send him to a private school. There, Auggie must deal with some unfriendly classmates and learn to accept himself as he is.In the United States, most kids are taught that it is OK to be different. People dont look d

40、own upon being special. But some kids have difficulty accepting this. It is easy to play tricks on someone who is different, especially if you have your own problems to deal with. This is another central theme from the movie even the kids who laugh at Auggie have their own personal struggles.As Augg

41、ies classmates get know him better, they come to find that hes a nice kid with a great sense of humor. They start to change their attitude to him. In real life, it may take longer to see such changes happen. But if we give people a chance, their hearts and minds may change in the end.1Which is NOT t

42、rue about Auggie according to the writer?AHe has a facial deformity.BHe has been home-schooled for many years.CHis family sends him to a private school.DHe always becomes sad because of others attitude.2We can tell that Auggies school life is _at the very beginning.AhappyBhardCexcitingDnormal3Some k

43、ids laugh at Auggie because they_.Ahave a sense of humorBaccept his differenceChave difficulty accepting different peopleDwant to be home-schooled as wellE17、 Is It Better to Read Books or Listen to Them?We often think how fast we learn something depends on how smart we are. If your brain is taking

44、in material quickly, youre clever; if not, well, that doesnt say great things about your IQ. But science shows context (上下文) and technique (技術(shù)) actually play a big role in how fast we learn, and even small changes like the way you use to read can make a big difference.Audio (音頻的) books have plenty o

45、f advantages: you can enjoy them anywhere, even in the car, and not printing books saves trees. Poor readers also often find them more interesting. But according to the latest research, if your goal isnt to pass the time in traffic, but instead to learn something difficult, you should choose a physi

46、cal book.In a recent opinion piece in the New York Times, psychology (心理學(xué)) professor Daniel T.Willingham mentioned a 2010 study where 48 students either read or listened to an article about child psychology. Although the students spent the same amount of time with their material and did about the sa

47、me number of distracting (分散注意力) activities while they absorbed the information, they scored very differently on a 10-item quiz later. Generally, the readers scored 81 percent but while the listeners scored 59 percent. Why does listening vs reading material have such a great effect on learning?Willi

48、ngham explains that first, most of us read more slowly than we listen (especially when pausing and rereading), and when youre trying to absorb new information, slower seems to be better. “About 10 to 15 percent of eye movements during reading are actually regressive meaning the eyes are going back a

49、nd re-checking,” he explains to TIME. “This happens very quickly”Second, books offer visual cues (可視線索) that help our brains organize and understand new information. Things like chapter breaks, subheadings, and lists help us in making sense of the material and understanding how it fits together. You

50、 lose all that when you go the audio way.The bottom line is simple: Dont feel shame about passing your time in traffic with an audio book. However, be aware of audios limitations when it comes to studying, and seriously consider choosing good old-fashioned reading instead.1According to the writer, y

51、ou should choose to read a book to _.Atake in the informationBpass the time in trafficClearn something difficultDorganize new information2A “physical book” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”.Aan audio bookBa book about physicsCa book about computerDa book made of paper or cloth3What can we learn from

52、 the passage?ATo read a book is better than to listen to it.BReaders are cleverer than listeners.CReading books is a good way to pass time.DHow fast we learn depends on how smart we are.F18、Have you ever returned a book late to the library before? If so, you may pay a small fine(罰款). How much would

53、you have to pay if the book is returned 65 years late?A high school in Washington, Us had to deal with such a problem recently. A copy of Gone with the Wind was finally returned to its library 65 years late.However, the school said that it would not ask Wayne to pay the fine, though that would be about $475.The boo
