  Rainforests (热带雨林) cover six percent of the earth’s surface (表面). There are rainforests in many parts of the world. About 75 percent of animals live in rainforests. There are many beautiful birds, insects and so on. Some of them live on the ground, some live under the ground and others live in the trees, over 30 meters from the ground. It is always hot in the rainforests and the ground is always wet. It is also very dark there.

  The rainforests are very important for us. We need them! The trees and other plants in the forest help to make the air clean. They also help to control (控制) the temperature.

  Unfortunately, in many places, the rainforests are in danger. For example, many years ago there was a large rainforest in Java, but now there is nothing. The same thing happens now in many other parts of the world. It’s time to take action to save the rainforests. We can never imagine a world without rainforests. If rainforests disappeared from the earth, we wouldn’t find any trees, flowers or fruits. What’s more, we wouldn’t get clean air, and we wouldn’t find any animals. The worst result would be that we wouldn’t find any humans.

  54. How many animals live in rainforests?

  A. About thirty percent. B. About ninety percent.

  C. Ab out three quarters. D. About seventy-five percent.

  55. The trees and other plants in the forest ______.

  A. make the air dirty B. control the temperature

  C. pollute the rivers D. stop the noise pollution

  56. What does the underlined word “Unfortunately” mean in Chinese?

  A. 不幸地 B. 事实上 C. 幸运地 D. 坦白说

  57. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?

  A. It is about the weather in the rainforests.

  B. It is about animals living in the rainforests.

  C. It is about people who don’t care about animals.

  D. It is about the result of not protecting the rainforests.

  D

  All living things on the earth need other living things to live. Nothing lives alone. Most animals must live in a group, and even a plant grows close together with others of the same kind. Sometimes one living thing kills another, one eats and the other is eaten. Each kind of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they form a food chain (食物链). Some food chains are simple, while others are not. But all food chains begin with the sun, and all food chains become broken up if one of the links (联系) disappears.

  All life needs sunlight to live on. But only plants can use sunlight directly (直接). Plants are “factories”. They make food from sunlight, water and things in the soil (土壤) and air.

  Plants feed all other living things. Animals can only use the sun’s energy (能量) after it has been changed into food by plants. Some animals feed directly on plants, others eat smaller animals. Meat-eating animals are only eating plants indirectly.

  What about human beings? We are members of many food chains. We eat wheat (小麦), rice, vegetables, fruits and so on. We also eat meat and drink milk. But humans often break up the food chains. They kill wild animals. They also make rivers, lakes and seas dirty. When these rivers, lakes and seas are polluted, the fish in them cannot be eaten. If m en eat the fish, they will get strange diseases (疾病).

  Each form of life is linked to all others. Breaking the links puts all life in danger.

  58. How does every living thing on the earth live?

  A. Each plant can live alone.

  B. Each animal can live alone.

  C. If living things want to live, they must kill each other.

  D. Every living thing on the earth cannot live without others.

  59. Which living things can use the sun’s energy directly?

  A. Animals. B. Plants. C. Humans. D. All living things.

  60. Which of the following is TRUE?

  A. Some life needs sunlight to live on.

  B. Humans often break up the food chains.

  C. Plants make food from sunlight and water.

  D. If men eat the wild animal, they will get strange diseases.

  61. What is the best title of this passage?

  A. Animals. B. Plants. C. Food Chains. D. Living Things.

  第二节 补全短文(共4小题;每小题1.5分,满分6分)

  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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余选项。

  My hobby is playing chess — one of the greatest games in the world. My mum taught me how to play when I was seven years old. 62 But then, on my eighth birthday, I won for the first time. I nearly always beat her now.

  To learn the rules doesn’t take long. One day is enough. But if you want to be good, you have to practice for years. 63 — just a chess set and someone to play with. Chess sets can be very cheap, or quite expensive. Some people collect chess sets as a hobby, but I enjoy playing.

  64 We meet on Wednesday every week to practice. I am the best player in the club, and the captain(队长)of the school chess team. This year we won the All England Schools Championship (冠军赛).

  I'm saving up my money to buy a chess computer. They are very expensive, but also very good for practice. 65 I’m sure I will be a world chess champion some day.

  A. I have many chess sets.

  B. There is a chess club in our school.

  C. You don't need much to play chess.

  The Fruit Is Sweet

  My mother liked to fill our house with plants. She treasured her little

  garden and the lives she created with tiny seeds (种子 ). I remember the

  happiness on her face when she showed me what had grown.

  One day in high school, I passed through a gardening store, hoping to

  find something that I could use for my art piece. I had no luck finding one,

  so I decided to take bags of 30 seeds home instead. I had never

  planted anything in my life.

  For some reason, these colorful seed packets attracted me. I 31_ many bags: roses, morning glories, lilies and even some moonflowers.

  When I got home, my mother told me seriously that, if I was going to plant these flowers, it would have to be on my own. Not discouraged, I planted the different seeds in different pots. Every day,1 32 them, hoping that the next day a little green head would spurt (冒出 ) to say "hello." But each day, I became 33 when I saw that my flowers hadn't grown. After about a week, when I was ready to give up on them, my mom said to me, "You need patience (耐心 )."

  I did wait. One sunny afternoon, I came home from school. Walking up to the house, I took a quick look at the pots, really not 34 to see that anything had grown. To my surprise, there was a long green stem (茎) in one of the planted pots. A big 35 lit up my face. The morning glory vine suddenly spurted while I was at school.

  In the past few years, I've learned that mothers are usually 36 . My mother taught me well, even though she really didn't have to use much effort. I learn to treasure those little lives that I create. She taught me to 37 . I believe that patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

  Riley read so many stories about pirates (海盗 ) and treasure chests that he

  wanted to find a treasure chest of his own. One day, Riley went to the library

  and read a story about a man that buried (i~) expensive gold coins in his

  backyard in a chest. Riley was so interested in the story. "Mom, tell him that

  treasure chests are only in books and movies," said his old brother Ted. "It

  could really happen," said Riley. "Riley's right," said mom. "If you believe in

  something strong enough, it could happen."

  That night Riley's mom told Riley's dad how much Riley wanted to find a treasure chest. "I have an idea," said Riley's mom. "Saturday is Riley's birthday. Let's put his gift in a treasure chest and bury it in the yard for him to find." "That's a great idea!" said Riley's dad. They decided to put his new watch in the treasure chest. They would give him a map with clues (线索 ) to look for the treasure chest outside.

  After Riley left for school the next day, his mom wrapped the watch and went to the party store to buy a treasure chest. She came home and buried the treasure chest underneath the oak tree. She then drew a map with clues to where the treasure chest was buried. When Saturday came, mom and dad gave Riley his map, and told him that he would have to find his gift in the treasure chest using the clues on the map. Riley was so excited! He anxiously followed all the clues and found the treasure chest with his new watch. "Wow!" said Riley. "This is fantastic! I knew I would find a treasure chest someday!"

  "Happy Birthday!" they all shouted.

  Okay to Eat?

  At least 50% of U.S. adults have eaten food off the floor. That's according to a

  2017 Harris Poll. Many people use the five-second rule. The rule says that fallen

  food is safe to eat if it has been on the floor for less than five seconds. Can people

  really use the five-second rule to save a dropped sandwich? Or should they throw it

  and make a fresh one?

  Donald Schaffner is a professor of food science. His study shows that the five-second rule should not always be used. In his 2016 report, he says it's not wise to eat dropped wet food. The wet food takes in bacteria (细菌 ) as soon as it falls. "Bacteria don't have legs, they move with the moisture," Schaffner says. The wetter the food is, the more bacteria it soaks up (吸收 ) .

  Anthony Hilton studied the five-second rule too. He is a professor of Life and Health Sciences.

  Hilton found that a dry food on the floor collects fewer bacteria than a wet food. Hilton also found that carpeted floors pass fewer bacteria than wood floors. Still, one should be careful. "Food that is on the or is never completely risk-free to eat," he says. "But if you drop a dry food in your house, it's usually okay if you pick it up very quickly. Most clean homes don't have bad bacteria."

  Should you eat food that was dropped on the kitchen counter? Dr. Steven Dowshen is a doctor for children. He says that floors are not the only place that can make food unsafe to eat. "Kitchen counters can contain more harmful bacteria," Dowshen told TFK. This is because raw foods sometimes have bad bacteria called salmonella. These raw foods can be on kitchen counters. "If people eat food off a surface Lt has salmonella, they can get very sick," says Dowshen.

  With the five-second rule, the type of food and the place where it falls matter. So perhaps use this e instead: When in doubt, throw it out.

  45. What's Donald Schaffner's opinion about the five-second rule?

  A. The five-second rule should always be used.

  B. The drier the food is, the more bacteria it takes in.

  C. It's a good choice to eat the dropped wet food.

  D. The minute the wet food falls, it soaks up bacteria.

  46. The underlined word "risk-free" probably means “ ”

  A. delicious B. dangerous C. safe D. easy

  47.What can you infer from the passage?

  A. People should not eat a dropped sandwich on any places.

  B. People cannot eat food that is on the floor because of salmonella.

  C. People need to consider the type of the dropped food before eating.

  D. People should be careful about the food dropped on the kitchen counter.

  48. What's the writer's purpose of writing the passage?

  A. To introduce the five-second rule to people.

  B. To encourage people to use the five-second rule.

  C. To show different people's opinions about the five-second rule.

  D. To advise people to think twice before using the five-second rule.

  Rik-rrork. That's the sound made by frogs singing at night.

  u might have thought the noises were just the musical sounds of

  ure. You probably didn't realize that you were listening to frogs

  nmunicating with one another. These familiar sounds are not random

  i意的) but are actually meaningful to frogs.

  Being Heard but Not Seen

  Frogs are good at being heard but not seen. These animals have several characters that protect them n predators (捕食者 ). One is their size. Most frogs are small, which helps them hide easily. Many frogs have coloring that allows them to hide in their environment, making it difficult for predators to find them. In addition, most frogs are active at night. So it is difficult for most animals to see them in the dark.

  Small but Loud

  Frogs call to tell other frogs where they are. Their voices can be very loud. But when frogs feel the footsteps of a larger animal, they become silent.

  Many of the world's frogs live in rain forests, where there are many different animals calling to their own species (物种 ) in their own ways. Frogs need to call loudly enough to be heard through the noise in order to find other frogs.

  Singing with Purpose

  Peter Narins is a scientist who studies how frogs call to one another. He has learned that frogs use their calls to help them tell friend from enemy. They sing the same notes at the same volume (音量 ) each time they call. In addition, Narins has found that frogs of the same species always sing the same patterns (模式 ). These patterns are like a code that is different from other animals' calls and difficult

  for others to copy. Narins also observed that timing plays a role in frog calls. Many frogs call only at a certain time of night.

  More Work to Do

  Scientists want to better understand the purpose of frog calls. Studies continue to explore the details of frogs' unique communication. Being heard but not seen is one way frogs stay safe. The idea that they have found a way to survive in a dangerous world is simply amazing.

  49. Frogs are good at being heard but not seen because

  A. they can not jump high B. they can hide easily

  C. they are not active enough D. they have bright colors

  50. Frogs need to call loudly to

  A. drive away other species B. tell friend from enemy quickly

  C. be heard by other frogs D. feel the footsteps of a larger animal

  51. What can we learn from the passage?

  A. Frogs always sing the same notes at different volumes.

  B. Frogs stay safe in a dangerous world only by their calls.

  C. Some frogs call accidentally at different times of night.

  D. Some details of frogs' communication still leave unknown.

  52. Which is probably the best title of the passage?

  A. Frog Songs B. Life of Frogs C Frog Secrets D. World of Frogs

  七、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。(共10分,每小题2分)

  Sometimes the world may feel like an unhappy place. However.you can make a difference. If you make even a person smile today, you can help make this world a better place. Here is a list of ideas to help you.

  Send a handwritten letter

  In this age where everything is sent by email, it is a shock to receive a letter

  through the post. Writing a few words on paper to a friend is an easy way to

  make one smile. Even a postcard with a couple of sentences could really make someone's day- all for the price of a stamp!

  Volunteer

  Volunteering is one of the nicest things you can do. It requires (需要 ) some time

  and research to find the perfect project before volunteering. Whether you volunteer at

  your local youth group or take dogs from the shelters for a walk, the simple fact that you are giving up your time to help someone else is unbelievable. There are so many chances, so you are sure to find one that is right for you. And it doesn't necessarily have to take up all your time-it could be once a week or a couple of times a year.

  Make something for a special person

  Whether you're creative or not, taking time to make something for someone else

  M shows how much you appreciate (感激 ) them. Even if you think you are not creative,

  the receiver will feel lucky to get such a special gift that you put your time into. Some

  ideas could include a card, painting, drawing, song, poem or cake!

  Tell someone "I love you"

  It can be anyone-a family member or a friend. You don't even have to say "I

  love you". Perhaps you can tell a friend that you appreciate all they are to you, or

  remind your mum that you love her. Sometimes, in our busy lives, we forget to take a

  moment to tell people what they mean to us.

  53. Is writing a few words on paper an easy way to make a friend smile?

  54. What does it require to find the perfect project before volunteering?

  55. How will the receiver feel to get a special gift?

  56. What do we sometimes forget to do in our busy lives?

  57. What is the passage mainly about?

  A School Trip to Yichang

  Last term we went to Yichang and had a wonderful school trip, which is a great memory to me. We visited many interesting places. On the first day, we went to the Three Gorges Museum and saw many pictures of the famous project. The next day we took a boat on the Yangtze River and had a great time. I liked the visit to the tea garden most because we learned about the tea culture and tried making tea by ourselves.

  In my opinion, it is a meaningful school trip. We not only get close to nature but also gain knowledge.

  请听一段短文,根据所听到的短文内容和提示信息,将所缺的关键信息填写在答题卡的相应位置上。短文你将听两遍。

  Your eyes allow you to see color, light, buildings and the faces of those you love. The eyes are a clear way to feel the world. Here are some tips about how to look after your eyes.

  Take an eye break

  Many people need to look at computer screens when they work or study. That puts a lot of pressure on their eyes. So for every 20 minutes spent looking at a screen, you should take an eye break of around 20 seconds. During the break, you should look at something that is at least 6 meters away.

  Wear a sun hat or sunglasses

  There are some harmful rays from the sun. UV rays can be harmful to eyes, so it’s best to get in the habit of protecting them from an early age. Wearing a sun hat or sunglasses is the best way to protect your eyes.

  Eat eye-friendly foods

  You can also protect your eyes by eating some eye-friendly foods. Green vegetables and fish can reduce the risk of eye problems.

  Have a good sleep

  Make sure you have a good night’s sleep. You may think you are doing nothing when you are sleeping. But it’s the time for your body to rebuild and repair. At night, your eyes keep cleaning out the dirty things which come in during the day.

  Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.

  The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future-----for example, getting into college or getting a good job —that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.

  Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a s port, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.

  ( ) 56.How many pieces of advice on happiness does the writer give us?

  A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.

  ( ) 57.What is the' main idea of the second paragraph (段落)?

  C.Everyone knows how to live a happier life.
