25、亥俄州) have to say “bye-bye” to snow days. Snow may fall, but students wont be able to spend the days sledding(滑雪橇). Classes will continue online. Officials say that holding electronic workdays(e-days) will help students keep up with their studies. It will also prevent requiring students to make up sc

26、hooldays later in June.Which would you prefer: spending a cold day on a computer, or sitting in school in June when you should be on vacation? Jordan Dewar, a student reporter, holds the opinion that having online work on a snow day is the better choice. “You would be working on a day that you alrea

27、dy planned on having schoolwork.”“Having extra days of school in summer can interfere with(妨碍) families vacation plans. Besides, what if your school does not have air-conditioning? Imagine sweating through seven hours at school on a hot June day when you could have been relaxing by a pool with your

28、family. Doesnt an e-day sound better than that?” Jordan Dewar said.For some students, it would be easier to concentrate(专注) on e-days than on makeup days. “You can do a little work online, go play, and then come back later,” says Rachel Meyers, 12. “But on June days you would just have to sit there

29、for seven hours, thinking about how you could be outside, so you lose focus.”There are some students arguing that its not fair to ditch snow days, however. They say that snow days give them a much-needed break. They also note that missing a day here and there is not enough to put them behind. Most s

30、tudents in Silver Valley School think one problem of e-days is that sometimes siblings(兄弟姐妹们) have to share computers at home. In addition, it punishes the students who dont have computers at home. When school starts again after e-days, these students will be left behind and have to work double-time

31、 to catch up with others.“School budget cuts(预算削减) across the country are expected to continue into the 2017-2018 school year.” the American Association of School Administrators(AASA) Web site states. “The school wouldnt be able to afford both online classes and taking care of the school,” Austin Kr

32、ewson, an eighth grader, says.Moreover, electricity is likely to be cut off during snowstorms. If kids dont have power at home, the money and the time in running the new program would be wasted.1What can we learn from Paragraph 1?AOfficials suggest students should have more schooldays in June.BOffic

33、ials believe snow days put students behind in their studies.CStudents have to end snow days earlier than planned.DStudents wont have sledding classes at school.2The student reporter, Jordan Dewar, believes that _.Asiblings can help each other with their studies on e-daysBstudents can learn better on

35、ite to _.Aexplain the reason to hold the e-day programBshow the difficulty of running the e-day programCsuggest government should spend more money on educationDstress why some students cant afford computers for online classesC15、To write a great news story , you have to make sure it is correct , rel

36、evant (相关的) and fresh. For a start, all the information in a story must be correct. Not only the spelling and grammar, but also the facts. Any mistakes that appear (出现） in a story can get a newspaper into big trouble. For example, if a newspaper said that Yang Liwei was the first man to go into spac

37、e, it would be wrong. He wasnt the first. The newspaper would probably lose lots of readers because of that mistake. A news story is not only correct ，but also relevant to its readers . People are mostly interested in news that happens near to them. That is why you care more about what happens at yo

38、ur school than at American schools. It is also why newspapers in Beijing don t talk about much news in Shanghai or Hong Kong.Finally, news must always be fresh. When you pick up your evening newspaper, you want to read about news that happens that day. You dont want to read about news from last week

39、!So, now you know what makes a good news story. Have a good look at our newspaper and see if it is full of good news .you can try writing a news story for our newspaper like a real reporter.1The writer mentions _ main factors (因素 ）to make a news story really great .Atwo Bthree Cfour Dfive .2Accordin

40、g to the second paragraph , the correct information in a story includes_ .Atranslation and facts.Bspelling and pronunciation.Cspelling grammar and facts .DListening to English more can help you realize your dream.3According to the writer, newspaper in Liaocheng should talk much about news in _ALiaoc

41、heng BHong Kong.CShanghai. DBeijing.4Which of the following is true ?AA small mistake cant get a newspaper into trouble.BA lot of people like reading about news from last week.CThe passage doesnt tell us who was the first man to go into space.DPeople are mostly interested in news that happens far aw

42、ay from them.D16、Easter is still a great day for worship（敬拜）, candy in baskets and running around the yard finding eggs, but every year it gets quite a bit worse for rabbits.And no, not because the kids like to pull their ears. The point is because of weather change, and some researchers found that

43、rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five kinds of rabbits in the US.Take the Lower Keys Marsh rabbit as an example. It lives on the islands, but it is seriously affected（影响）now by rising sea levels. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, an ocean level rise of 0.9-m

44、eter would destroy their living place completely.The snowshoe hare, on the other hand, has a color problem. Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer, which gives them better cover from predators (捕食者) . As the number of days with snow becoming

45、less, more and more rabbits are being left in white fur during the days of both fall and spring, making them an easier mark for predators. American pikas or rock rabbits might be the first of these species to go die out because of the weather change. Pikas live high in the cool, damp mountains. As g

46、lobal temperatures rise, they would naturally move to higher ground but they already live on the mountaintops. They cant go any higher. The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their living place heats up.The volcano rabbit has the same pr

47、oblem. Recent studies have shown that their lower living place has already moved upward about 700 meters, but there are not right plants for them to move higher, so they have to stay in the middle.Native to the US, pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West. They are believe

48、d to be the smallest rabbits in the world. Their living places have been destroyed by development. They also live on winter cover, but lesser snowfall is leaving them unprotected.All of these give new meaning to dressing up in a huge rabbit costume（服装）this Easter.1Why does the writer mention Easter

49、at the beginning of the passage?ATo raise the problem about rabbits.BTo remind people of Easter traditions.CTo show the importance of Easter Day.DTo discuss the relationship between Easter and rabbits.2Why can some rabbits be easily discovered by predators now?ABecause they have moved to the places

50、with fewer plants.BBecause they can hardly live on color cover as before.CBecause they cant change their color into white.DBecause they are left to more skillful hunters.3What is the problem faced by rock rabbits and volcano rabbits?AThey are both affected by less snow.BNeither of them can find enou

51、gh food.CNeither of them can move to higher place.DThey are both affected by rising sea levels.4What can you infer from the passage?APredators are more skillful than before.BThe weather is getting much hotter now.CThere will be no rabbit costume for Easter soon.DPeople should care more about the rab

52、bit problem.E17、During the day we work and play and at night we sleep. Our bodies rest while we sleep. In the morning we are ready to work and play again. It is while we are asleep that our bodies grow most. When children feel tired and angry, they usually need more sleep. We can get our lessons bet

53、ter, and we feel better, too, when we have had plenty of rest. Boys and girls, eight or nine years old, need ten hours of sleep every night. Our bodies need plenty of air when we sleep. If we do not get enough fresh air we wake up feeling tired. While in bed we must not cover our heads. If we do, ou

54、r lungs（肺）will not get enough fresh air. If we open our windows at night we can have plenty of fresh air. Cool air is better than warm air. Boys and girls must get plenty of sleep if they want to grow and be strong.1Our bodies grow most while we are _.AeatingBplayingCsleepingDexercising2Which is the

55、 best air for us? _ air.AHotBCoolCWarmDDry3What often makes us feel tired in the morning?AToo much air.BNot enough fresh air.CToo much cold air.DToo much sleep.F18、 A gift card is a card that is issued(发行) by a store. These cards are big money makers for stores. One reason is that when gift-card hol

56、ders go to the store, they often see other things to buy, and they spend more money than the gift card is worth. Unused cards are another reason. Stores make millions of dollars because large numbers of people never use their cards. They either lose them, forget about them, or decide that its not wo

57、rth the effort. Gift cards are becoming very popular in many countries around the world. In the US, they are one of the most popular kinds of gifts. Why? People love the conveniencegift cards are easy to buy and easy to use, either in the store or online. The recipient can choose his or her own gift

58、, and the giver does not have to worry about finding just the right thing. Receiving a gift card, however,is not the same as receiving a gift. A real gift is a better reminder of the person who gave it. The message of a real gift is more likely to be,I spend some time trying to find the right gift f

59、or you because I care about you.Often a gift card does not send the same message as a real gift. It may seem to say,I was in a hurry. I didnt have time to think about what you would really like. In todays world, gift cards are certainly convenient. However, they can make us forget the real purpose of giving gifts, which is to build a closer connection between the gift-giver and the gift-recipient.1How many reasons are given to explain why gift cards are big money makers for store
