I have very quickly learnt 1he is not just popular back in the UK, but is huge around the world. In my first lesson I asked the students2

13、 (tell) me what they already knew about the UK.3my surprise, most classes put Sherlock Holmes first. And I even have a student4English name is Sherlock!But who is Sherlock Holmes? Sherlock Holmes is a character 5(create) by British doctor and writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. He first appeared in print

14、 in 1887, and 6(be) a part of popular culture for over a century. He has become 7(know) for his early use of deductive reasoning(演绎推理). In total, Holmes appears in four novels and fifty-six short stories. Most of these 8(write) from the view of his friend Dr. Watson.Although at first a character in

15、novels and short stories, Sherlock Holmes has become popular on the big and small screen. In fact, he has the honor of 9(hold) the Guinness World Record for the “Most Portrayed Movie Character”. More than seventy 10(act) have played the role in over two hundred films!. 阅读理解A13、The dodo was a ground

16、nesting(筑巢), flightless bird. An adult dodo could grow to a height of about a meter and weigh between 45-50 pounds. The natural habitat of this kind of bird lay in the forest of Mauritius.Seed(种子) and fruits that were found in the forest were the main food of the dodo birds. As they could easily get

17、 the food they required in the forest, they didnt need to fly. As time went by, they finally lost the ability to fly. It turned out to be a major disadvantage for dodos, as they were left with no ability to protect themselves against human beings attacks in their natural habitat, which drove this ki

18、nd of bird to extinction(灭绝).The extinction of the dodo started in 1505, when Portuguese sailors set their foot on the Island of Mauritius. Before this, the dodo didnt face any danger. People began to hunt them. It was not long before animals, like cats, pigs and monkeys, were also introduced to the

19、 island by humans. When ships arrived, the rats on these ships came onto the land. Though these animals were not able to attack huge dodos, it was easy for them to attack dodos nests on the ground. These animals continued to feed on dodo eggs.The dodo became a relatively(相对地) rare bird in Mauritius

20、at the beginning of the 17thcentury, and became extinct in the end. The last reported sighting of a dodo was in 1681.1Why did the dodo lose its ability to fly?ABecause it liked walking on the ground.BBecause it had no enemies in the forest.CBecause it was too big to fly.DBecause it didnt need to fly

21、 to look for food.2What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?AHumans hunted for dodos for money .BDodos nesting places were attacked by human beings.CThe dodo became extinct because of human activity.DOther animals on the island lived mainly on dodos meat.3What does the passage mainly talk abou

22、t?AThe extinction of the dodo.BThe appearance of the dodo.CThe actions taken to protect the dodo.DThe punishment for hunting the dodoB14、April will bring a new product the Apple Watch into the market. Last week, the watch was firstly introduced by Tim Cook, Apples CEO. The price of the watch will di

23、ffer from $349 to $1,099, depending on its size, strap and whether it is a sports or regular version.Apple engineers and designers have put in a lot of thought and hard work into creating this small screen on your wrist(手腕). The sensor on the screen not only detects your finger, but knows the differ

24、ence between when you are tapping, and when you are pressing harder.The watch also has “haptic feedback(触觉反馈)”. You can send personal messages to your friend, such as drawing a star or a special sign with your fingers, or tapping the watch, say 3 times, and your friend will receive those taps on the

25、ir wrist.Besides telling the time, the watch will use bluetooth to connect with your iPhone and show calls or text messages that come in.According to Tim Cook, the watch may open up a whole new area of applications that we had never thought of. Some car factories like BMW have developed an app that

26、allows its car owners to open their cars with the watch. A Hotels app may allow you to open the door to your hotel room without worrying about losing the smart-card. And finally, even airlines are jumping in-passengers may be able to simply wave their wrist to check into their flight.The biggest use

27、 of the watch, however, is as your personal fitness coach. The watch can measure your pulse (heartbeat) using a sensor at the bottom of the watch. It also has the same accelerometer as your iPhone, so it knows when you are moving, and also how much you are walking or running. It will remind you if y

28、ou have been sitting for too long without much activity.Many stores are planning to stop selling the Nike, Jawbone and FitBit devices(设备) to welcome the Apple Watch. Will Apple Watch really replace these devices and make fitness much more fun?1We can learn from the passage that the Apple Watch _.Ais

31、uite early for Paris bus. The bus for Paris would not leave until five to twelve. He saw a lot of people waiting in the station. Some were standing in line(排队), others were walking around. There was a group of schoolgirls. Their teacher was trying to keep them in line. Tom looked around but there wa

32、s no place for him to sit.He walked into the station cafe(咖啡馆). He looked up at the clock there. It was only twenty to twelve. He found a seat and sat down before a large mirror(镜子) on the wall. Just then, Mike, one of Toms workmates came in and sat with Tom.“What time is your bus?” asked Mike.“Ther

33、es plenty of time yet,” answered Tom.“Well, Ill get you some more tea then,” said Mike.They talked while drinking. Then Tom looked at the clock again. “Oh! Its going backward(倒行)!” he cried. “A few minutes ago it was twenty to twelve and now its half past eleven.”“Youre looking at the clock in the m

34、irror.” said Mike. Tom was so sad(难过). The next bus was not to leave for another hour. Since then Tom has never liked mirrors.1Tom went into the station cafe because .AMike asked him to have a cup of tea.Bit was quite early and he could find a seat there.Che didnt like to stay with the schoolgirl.Dh

37、ot A Careful ManCMissing A BusDThe Clock In The MirrorD16、When you watch your favorite movies, you might not think about science. Of course, theres a lot of science behind movies like Interstellar or The Martian but not movies like Frozen or The Avengers, right? Think again.Animated(动画) movies use a

38、 lot of science and math to make things look as real as possible. For example, snow was used in many parts of the movie Frozen, but making the snow look real was a challenge. The snow needed to act differently in different situations, like if it was melting(融化) or blowing in the wind.Mathematicians（

39、数学家）had to create a computer program to make the snow look more natural. Joseph Teran, a mathematician at the University of California, US, faced this challenge with Frozen, according to the Society for Science and the Public.He and his team used math equations(等式) to treat snow like many different

40、pieces instead of one large thing, as movies had done in the past. They worked for months to make a computer program do this.Science is important for superhero movies too. Superheroes are supposed to have special powers that cant always be explained. But moviemakers still want to make their actions

41、realistic(现实的).For example, Raychelle Burks, a chemistry professor from the American Chemical Society, told the Daily Mail that some of the science behind The Avengers could be real. Iron Mans suit is possible because it can be made of a light but strong material. In the movie , Tony Stark also make

42、s new elements by making atoms collide(使原子对撞)，much like scientists do in real life.So next time you see a movie, dont forget to think about the science behind it.1A lot of science and math are used in animated movies to _.Amake them like Interstellar and The MartianBmake the audience think about sci

43、enceCmake things as realistic as possibleDmake snow smelt or blow in the wind2The example of The Avengers in Paragraph 6 is used to show_.Ahow superheroes have super powersBhow science makes action realisticCIron Mans suit is made of light materialsDhow Tony Stark makes new elements3What can we lear

44、n from the passage?AEvery movie should be made to look as realistic as possible.BScience and math play important roles in movie making.CAnimated movies use less science than other movies.DScientists can make things in movies become real.E17、What does your face say?How many different emotions do you

45、think you can communicate to people with your face? Do you have the same facial expressions as people from different cultures?New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion.However, how these expressions are understood might depend on where you are from.Research b

46、y scientists from the University of Glasgow has challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions. Until now, it was widely believed that six basic emotions happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust (厌恶), were expressed and recognized across different cultures. However,

47、the University of Glasgows work now suggests that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion. This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to distinguish, especially when they are first expressing on the face. Fear and surprise, for example,both share wide-open eyes. The faci

48、al expressions for anger and disgust also look thesame.So if our faces are only able to express four basic emotions, how do we communicate more complex (复杂的) feelings? The study found that the way expressions are explained is different in different cultures. Lead researcher Dr Rachael Jack was study

49、ing this because “facial expressions were considered to be general”, she explains. However, while looking at how people from the East and West look at different parts of the face during facial expression recognition, they found that although there are some common characteristics across cultures, the

50、 six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized by everyone.“We said we dont know what a disgust face looks like in China, so the best way to go about that is to make all combinations (组合) of facial movements and show to Chinese researchers and ask them to choose the ones they think are

51、disgust faces.”With the software they developed, they discovered that in the early stages of signaling emotion, fear and surprise, and anger and disgust, were often confused. Jack explains that these facial expressions have developed both from biology and social evolution(进化).What interests people a

52、bout the cross-cultural aspect of the research? “This work leads to understanding which emotions we share, realizing our differences and calling attention to our multicultural experiences.” This research could advise new ways of social communication that improve cross-cultural interactions.1What is

53、the main purpose of the first paragraph?ATo show interest in different cultures.BTo express the worries about emotions.CTo lead in the topic of facial expressions.DTo give an example of facial expressions.2The word “distinguish” in Paragraph 3 probably means _.Aexpress Bexplain Cdifferentiate Ddevel

54、op3According to the passage, Dr Rachael agrees that _.Afacial expressions are easy to understand in JapanBthe way expressions are understood is different in ChinaCnew ways of social communication can improve movementsDits difficult to understand all the facial expressions of emotion4What can we lear

55、n from the passage?AWe can express our emotions in four different ways.BFacial expressions of emotion can be discovered easily.CFacial expressions of emotion are from different countries.DFacial expressions are explained differently in different cultures.F18、Waste can be seen everywhere in the schoo

56、l. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I dont agree with them.Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources（资源）, we are short of（缺乏） ot

57、hers, for example, fresh water（淡水）. It is reported that we will have no coal（煤） or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources， what can we use in the future and where can we move？Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.In our everyday life，we can do many things to prevent waste from happening， for example， turn off the water taps（水龙头） when we finish washing， turn off the lights when we leave the classroom， try not to order more
