15、glish idioms. Do you know the following?Dont count your chicken before they hatch.The expression “Dont count your chickens before they hatch” means “Dont expect that all your eggs, which have been laid, will hatch.” “Hatch” is a verb, meaning the baby chicken breaks open the shell of the egg and com

16、es out successfully. So the expression mainly means “Dont depend on things working out just as you want them to.” This saying appears in the story The Milkmaid and Her Pail in Aesops Fables.A chicken-and-egg situationIn history, philosophers（哲学家）and scientists have met this dilemma（困境）:Which came fi

17、rst, the chicken or the egg? Aristotle thought that both the bird and the egg must have always been there. However, more recently, scientists such as Stephen Hawking have argued that the egg came before the chicken. In common speech, the term “a chicken-and-egg situation” means a situation where it

18、is impossible to say which of two things appeared first and which caused the other one.Dont be such a chickenThere seems to be an idea in English, somehow, that a chicken is a scared bird. Maybe thats not fair as most birds will probably fly away from you if you go towards them. But “Dont be such a

19、chicken” means “Dont be so scared and get a bit more courage.” So if your friend is afraid to do something , you can say to him or her, “Dont be such a chicken. Just have a try!”1The underlined word “hatch” means “_” in Chinese.A孵化 B长大 C破碎 D出售2While discussing the idiom “A chicken-and-egg situation”

20、, the writer mentions Aristotle and Stephen Hawking to show that _.AAristotles opinion was wrongBStephen Hawkings opinion is wrongCits impossible to find the right answer to this questionDphilosophers and scientists usually have the same answer to a question3We may use the idiom “Dont be such a chic

22、(手电筒) getting power from the holders body heat is going home today from California with a big prize and a chance to do further research.Ann Makosinski was the only Canadian among the four winners at Googles international science competition. Thousands of young scientists from around the world took p

23、art in the competition.Winning the science and technology competition was a surprise. Ann said, I think it will have a great influence on my future.Ann thanked her family for encouraging her interest in science and said that her first toy was a box of transistors(晶体管).Anns prize includes $ 25,000 an

24、d a once in a-lifetime expericnce from Google for her Hollow Flashlight, which has no moving parts or batteries.The idea for the invention came from seeing unwanted batteries and her friends experience. When Ann visited a friend in the Philippines, she saw the friend couldnt study when it became dar

25、k because there was no electricity or light. She saw the need for a flashlight that has no batteries - Hollow Flashlight.In her project, Ann wrote I made two flashlights that do not use any batteries or harmful materials. They do not create any noise and will always work. The flashlight needs at lea

26、st a 5 temperature difference between the holders body and the environment around to produce light.A video of Ann explaining how she creatcd the flashlight has been watched more than 1.4 million times on the Internet.Though Ann was successful, she has not made a decision about her career path. Ann h

27、opes that she can find a way to join her love of film and science together.The four winners were chosen from 15 final competitors from eight countries. The competition attracted thousands of students in 120 countries.1In which part of a newspaper can we probably read this passage?ATravel. BCulture.

28、CTechnology.

29、ccording to the passage, we learn _.Aeasy to win the international science competitionBHollow Flashlight is safe, noiseless and can save energyCAnn has made a decision to be a scientist in the futureDfew people are interested in how Ann created the flashlightC15、Like visible light, UV rays are energ

30、y waves released by the sun, only they cannot been seen. Some exposure (暴露) to those waves can do a body good. For example, ultraviolet B (UV-B) rays tell human skin to make vitamin DToo much exposure can be harmful, though. Overexposure to UV rays can cause DNA problems, opening the door for skin c

31、ancer. Too much sun can also cause painful sunburns.There are three different types of UV energy waves. They are UV-A, UV-B and UV-C rays. Each type moves at a different wavelength, with UV-As being the longest. Rays of UV-C are considered especially harmful to human beings. Fortunately, we have the

32、 ozone (臭氧) layer of the Earths atmosphere. It blocks out nearly all of the UV-C rays and most of the UV-B ones.The moon doesnt have much of an atmosphere, though. Back on the moon, things are more dangerous. Over the years, astronauts have planted six American flags on the moon. Some scientists thi

33、nk that powerful UV rays could have bleached all the colorful flags white by now. For this reason, the moon is a dangerous place to visit without protection.You might think that astronauts who visit the moon would come home with terrible sunburns. That didnt happen to Armstrong and his company. Neil

34、 Armstrong was a U.S. astronaut and the first person to walk on the moon. These astronauts all wore special spacesuits on their missions. Spacesuits were made with heavy fabrics that block out UV rays.When Armstrong set foot on the lunar surface, he was wearing a see-through helmet (头盔) with sun sha

35、des that were made of ultraviolet-stabilized polycarbonate. It is a very tough plastic that protects astronauts faces from UV rays. A weaker material could put the space travelers at risk for “snow blindness” and other problems. Conditions like these arise when UV rays damage parts of the human eyes

36、.Sunscreen (防晒霜) defends us from the UV rays that do pass through the ozone layer. However, theres really no need for an astronaut to put on sunscreen. The risk of sunburn goes way down when astronauts are inside a spaceship. Inside the International Space Station (ISS), for example, there is no nee

37、d for special suits. Astronauts regularly do their work in nothing but common cotton shirts and pants. To protect them from sunburns, the ISS uses UV-blocking windows. So do most space exploration ships.1From Paragraph 1, we can know _AUV-B is harmful to our bodyBvitamin D is good for our bodyCUV ra

38、ys cause DNA problemsDskin cancer is caused by the sun2The underlined word “bleach” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “_”.A漂白B伤害C刺穿D吹拂3Armstrong didnt get bad sunburns mainly because _.Athere was no UV-C ray on the moonBthe moon had an ozone layer like the earthChe wore a special spacesuit and helm

40、stronauts are in space5Whats the writers purpose of writing the passage?ATo show how astronauts are protected from UV rays.BTo introduce the first human who walked on the moon.CTo describe the new technology used in space.DTo show how we protect ourselves from sunburns.D16、On the Solomon Islands in

41、the South Pacific, some villagers cut down trees in a special way. If a tree is too large to be cut down with an ax, they try something else-yelling（叫喊）at it. Woodsmen with special powers climb up a tree at dawn and yell at it at the top of their voices. They continue doing this for 30 days. After 3

42、0 days, the tree dies and falls over. It seems like the yelling kills the spirit of the tree. According to the villagers, it always works.Its too bad they don t have the advantages of modern technology and a scientific mind.No matter how true the story actually is, it reminds me of something. I ofte

43、n yell at my wife, the telephone and workers. And sometimes I even yell at the T V, the newspaper and my children. Ive been known to shake my fist（拳头）and yell at the sky at times. People like me can often be seen around us.The man next door yells at his car a lot. And this summer I heard him yell at

44、 a ladder for most of an afternoon. We modem, educated people yell at traffic, bills, banks and machines. Machines and relatives get yelled at the most.It doesnt do much good. Machines and things just sit there. Even kicking it doesnt usually help. As for people, well, the Solomon Islanders may have

45、 a point. Yelling at living things does tend to kill the spirit in them. Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will break our hearts.1How do the Solomon villagers cut down a very large tree?ABy using a special ax. BBy using the power of nature.CBy using a mysterious power. DBy yelling at

46、the tree for a month.2From Paragraph 3 , we learn that the writer seems to be .Aa kind man Ba nice fatherCa busy husband Dan impatient boss3What does the writer think about yelling in life?AIts good for everything. BIt solves traffic problems.CIt makes machines work. DIt does no good to people.4Whic

47、h of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AYelling can solve all problems.BYelling at others will never hurt their spirit.CIt s common for people to yell at things around them.DSolomon Islanders never use an ax to cut down trees.5What does the story want to tell us?AYelling hurts both side

48、s. BEveryone likes yelling.CSolomon Islanders are very stupid. DEvery living thing has its own spirit.E17、 American schools are quite different from those in China. In America, at the beginning of the term, students must select their subjects and teachers first. Selecting is very important for your

49、marks in America. So at the first term, dont select too many subjects, or youll feel very nervous and tired. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, time arranging, marks and textbooks. At the same time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers

50、 have different teaching methods. If the teacher is called killer by the last grade, many students will give up choosing him, because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades. There is another thing after you select the subjects and the teachers. How

51、to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. Each one is about $30-50. In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library. In class, discussing is very important. The teacher

52、 encourages you to ask questions or show your own opinions. They dont usually ask you to sit well. Instead they allow you to sit or stand everywhere you like.1What does the underline word “select” mean?AChooseBLikeCTreatDTake2According to the text, American students _.Adont have to ask for teaching

54、oose the teacher who is called “killer”.DStudents wont choose the teacher who gives too low marks4The passage is mainly about_.Athe differences between American and Chinese schoolsBAmerican schoolsCthe differences between American and Chinese studentsDAmerican school subjectsF18、Having Fun “Growing”

55、 and “Stealing”Recently, an Internet game has become a new fashion among young office workers and students. People can “farm” on a piece of “land” and “grow”, “sell” or even “steal” “vegetables”, “flowers” and “fruits” on the internet.They can earn some e-money and buy more “seeds”, “pets” and even

56、“houses”.Joyce interviewed some young people. Here are their opinions. Harold：I dont quite understand why they are so mad about the childish game, maybe they are just not confident enough to face the real world.Allan：I enjoy putting some “bugs” (臭虫) in my friends gardens and weve become closer becau

57、se of the game. Having fun together is the most exciting thing about itLaura：You know, people in the city wish for the life in the countryside. It relaxes my work pressure; besides, it gives me the exciting experience of being a “thief”. Ivy： Well. Its just a waste of time. Teenagers playing the game spend so many hours on it that they can not concentrate on their study.1According to the passage, people cant _ things
