I am sitting in an empty football field after my last high school football game that finished a few hours ago. I'm the midfield player(中场球员) in my team. But in fact that's not 1 now. I was the midfield player because, as I said, this was my 2 game. That's a good way to end a high school football career(生涯), especially if you win, but even though you don't, it's good to 3 at a high point.
I was eight when I first started playing football. My dad 4 football, and he used to practice with me at home-passing, catching, running. We used to 5 almost every evening until it got too dark. He tried to teach me 6 he knew about the game. "Just remember: Don't ever 7 .""Stay in the game. Don't lose your concentration(专注).""Go out there and give 110 percent every time." Well, that was a long time ago, but I still hear his words 8 in my ears.
I had a lot in my mind before the game today. I don't like things to 9 ,I guess, and this was the last game. I was talking to myself and 10 myself about what to do and not to do.

It's all over now, and it's really getting cold here. It's starting to snow. The sun's almost gone, and I 15 see the goal. Now it's dark and I'm sitting here all alone. Well, I guess it's time to say goodbye and move on.

4、阅读下面材料, 从方框中所给的A—E五个选项中选择正确的选项(其中一项是多余选项),并回答问题。
A. In Chinese culture, red lanterns are symbols of happiness.
B. They have become a symbol of Chinese culture worldwide.
C. It was mainly used in palaces in ancient times.
D. The shape was much like that of the palace lanterns.
E. However, traditional lanterns are still the most popular ones in people's hearts.
Lanterns have been part of Chinese culture for centuries and play an important part in many celebrations.
Palace lantern(宫灯)
When making palace lanterns, fine wood was used. The palace lanterns were covered with silk or glass. Different kinds of pictures were drawn on the covers. These lanterns were not only used as lights but also as decorations in palaces.
Gauze lantern(纱灯)
Less expensive bamboo and gauze (纱布) were used to cover the lantern. Red gauze was used when making them. So red lanterns are always hung on important testivals such as Lantern Festival, Spring Festival and National Day in parks or along main streets. In some famous China towns abroad, you can see red lanterns all the year round.
Shadow-picture lantern(走马灯)
It was usually used for amusement. There were two layers(层) of covers and pictures were drawn on the inside layer. When the candle was lit, the heat caused a paper wheel inside the lantern to turn around, so that moving pictures appeared on the outside cover.
Now more kinds of lanterns appear in festival s besides the traditional ones. More modern technology is used on making lanterns. There is no doubt that the modern lanterns will be more creative and interesting.

5、 阅读下面材料, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中选出一个最佳选项。
Imagine that you have woken up on the first day of your vacation. You enjoy a delicious breakfast, take a walk on the beach, and read the morning newspaper as you drink coffee. You are feeling happy and relaxed. But you may start to feel bored by the time the late afternoon comes around!
If you have ever felt like this, you' re not alone. It turns out that having unlimited(无限的) free time is not always as great as we expected. What is the best amount(数量) of free time to r our happiness?
Researchers tried to answer this question by surveying tens of thousands of people, collecting data(数据) on how they spent their time and how happy they were. After looking at the data, the research team found that having less than two hours of free time a day was not enough to be happy. People with under two hours of free time a day usually had more stress. It means that they were simply too busy with work to get their happiness.
The tact that being too busy cuts happiness is true. It might lead to the answer that more free time is simply better. Surprisingly, having a lot of free time is not a panacea(灵丹妙药) for happiness. People surely get a certain sense of joy from finishing tasks. Having more than five hours of free time a day makes us lose the sense of joy. It is in fact cutting our happiness. But I think it is how we spend our free time that matters. When free time is used in more active ways, like playing a team sport, then five or more hours a day can keep or even produce happiness. However, spending five or more hours of free time alone can stop happiness.
(1)、What may make people feel bored during the vacation?A、The morning newspaper. B、The delicious breakfast. C、The unlimited free time. D、The walk on the beach.(2)、What does the data of the survey show?A、Working can make people happy. B、Being too busy makes people stressed. C、People without jobs are the happiest. D、Two hours of free time brings people pleasure.(3)、Which does the writer think is important for happiness?A、A longest vacation. B、An unexpected surprise. C、A certain sense of joy. D、Ways of enjoying free time.(4)、What is the best title for the text?A、What Should Our Vacation Be Like? B、Why Do We Need More Free Time? C、Where Can We Spend Our Daily Free Time? D、How Much Free Time Do We Need to Be Happy? -
6、 阅读下面材料, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中选出一个最佳选项。
Many of us have learned that chatting with a friend, relative or classmate can improve our mood(情绪). And failing to communicate with others can also affect the health of our minds and bodies.
Now experts in the US have found that a good conversation just once a day could be enough to boost people's happiness and lower their stress levels.
The researchers looked at five types of conversation that past research has found to make people feel closer. These included things like sharing jokes, listening to others' opinions, discussing recent experiences, offering real praise and showing care for others. The researchers asked over 900 people at five US universities to have one of these five types of conversation each day. Then these people reported how their chats affected their stress, well-being and other feelings that day.
The researchers also looked at how the number of daily chats affected the people's well-being. And they found that while one good chat was enough to improve someone's mood, those who chose to have more of these conversations had better days. "This means the more you listened to your friends, the more you showed care, the more you took time to value others' opinions, the better you felt at the end of the day," one of the researchers said.
The researchers also said that meeting for a chat was better for people's well-being than using a phone or social medias.
(1)、what does the underlined word"boost" in Paragraph 2 mean?A、Increase B、Discover C、Create D、Influence(2)、How can we lower our stress according to Paragraph 3?A、By surfing the Internet. B、By pointing out others' mistakes. C、By talking about our school trip yesterday. D、By offering advice to others.(3)、What can we infer from the researcher's words in Paragraph 4?A、Exchanging ideas with others is useful. B、Different conversations have different influences. C、The number of daily chats can influence our mood. D、Too much chats might be harmful.(4)、What is the text mainly about?A、Good chats improve our mood. B、The change of mood is very important. C、Five types of conversation affect our mood. D、Using a phone is better than meeting for a chat. -

14、 阅读下面短文, 从每个小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
① There are many arguments(争论) for and against children owning pets. Pets help to keep children company, help to keep children fit, and they also help children to learn new responsibilities. However, pets can be dangerous. They require a lot of care, and they cost a lot of money to be taken care of properly.
② The first argument that. supports pet ownership by children is that they are good company. When children come home from school, pets are always there to greet them. They love children and are always willing to play. As a result, children will be less likely to experience loneliness. They will also help to keep children active as they will need to be walked and played with every day.
③ Secondly, owning a pet encourages children to learn new responsibilities. Pets need to be looked after and be taken care of every day. Children will learn different skills that they can use later in life. For example, washing and feeding pets are important skills to learn. Learning these responsibilities will ensure that children will be able to look after themselves, and possibly their children one day.
④ ▲ . Some dogs, for example, may bite others, and children may become afraid of animals as a result of this happening to them. Cats also look very soft but they do have very sharp claws(爪子). If they are treated in the wrong ways. cats can use their claws to scratch ln addition, pets require a great deal of care. Many pets need to be regularly groomed, exercised and bathed. As a result of this, children may neglect their studies because they are too busy worrying about their pet and its well-being.
⑤ A further argument against pet ownership is that pets are costly; buying food and maintaining their care is expensive. Finally, the cost of owning one falls on parents, and as a result, children don't fully understand the responsibility of having one.
⑥ In short, there are many arguments for and against pet ownership. Pets help to keep children company, fit, and they also help them to learn new responsibilities. However, pets can be dangerous, they require a lot of care, and they cost a lot of money to be taken care of properly.
(1)、Which of the following sentences can be put into ▲ in Paragraph 4?A、On the other hand, some pets can be dangerous. B、As a result, some animals are very cute for children. C、So their children can look after more people at school. D、All in all, having a pet has a good influence on children.(2)、The underlined word"neglect" in Paragraph 4 means ____ .A、put an effort in B、pay little attention to C、have no influence on D、Show great interest in(3)、Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?A、 B、 C、 D、(4)、What's the best title of the passage?A、New Things from Owning Pets B、 Arguments about Owning Pets C、Allowing Children to Own Pets D、Looking After Pets in a Right Way -

Air pollution is one of the world's invisible killers. It causes seven million deaths a year, making it the largest single environmentá l health risk. In cities, air pollution is particularly serious. More than 80% of people live in the areas where pollution levels are beyond WHO limits.
One well-established way to reduce air pollution is to plant trees, as their leaves catch and absorb(吸收) harmful particulates(微粒). But planting new trees is not always a good choice for lack of enough space. That's why the"City Tree", a mobile tree which removes pollutants from the air, has been becoming popular in cities around the world, including Oslo, Paris, Brussels and' Hong Kong.
Each City Tree is just under 4 meters tall, nearly 3 meters wide and 2.19 meters deep, acting as a chair or a bench. A screen is included for information or advertising. Berlin-based Green City Organization explains that its invention has the environmental benefit of up to 275 actual trees.
But the/ City Tree isn't. in fact, a tree at all— it's a moss culture(青苔培植). "Moss cultures have a much larger leaf surface area than any other plant. That means we can catch more pollutants," said Zhengliang Wu, co-founder of Green City Organization.
The huger surfaces of moss in each tree can remove dust, NO2 and O3 gases from the air. It requires very little care: solar panels provide electricity, while rainwater is collected into a containér and then sent into the soil.
To monitor the health of the moss, the City Tree has sensors which measure soil humidity (湿度), temperature and water quality"We also have pollution sensors inside the trees, which help monitor the local air quality and tell us how efficient the tree is," Wu said. Its creators say that each City Tree is able to absorb around250 grams of particulate matter a day and contributes to removing 480 tons of CO2 a year.
(1)、What is the City Tree?A、It is an ordinary tree growing leavers. B、It is a mobile tree offering electricity. C、It is a mobile tree providing rainwater. D、It is a moss culture absorbing pollutants.(2)、Why is the Gity Tree becoming popular in cities?A、It takes up less space. B、It is very easy to move. C、It requires very little care. D、It can be used for advertisement.(3)、What does the City Tree depend on to work?A、Soil and rainwater. B、Solar panels and sensors. C、Temperature and humidity. D、Moss culture and management.(4)、Which of the following statements is right according to the text?A、The City Tree needs a lot of care. B、The City Tree has environmental benefits as actual trees. C、Pollution sensors in the tress can help protect the environment. D、Planting new trees is a good choice to fight against air pollution in the city. -

Long time ago, people from other cultures used their hands to eat food, while the ancient Chinese invented chopsticks to keep their hands clean. Early chopsticks were used mainly for cooking until 400 A. D. when people began eating with chopsticks.
We don't know exactly when chopsticks were invented. There's a research showing that they didn't come into wide use until about 300 B. C. Chinese thinker Confucius was an important person in the history of chopsticks, because he thought peace would not appear if people used knives during a meal.
The"no-knives-on-the-table" rule led to a big change in Chinese cooking. Food had to be cut into small pieces. This was the birth of Chinese cooking and it has made Chinese food popular around the world.
However, many Westerners find it difficult to use chopsticks. Eric, a foreign teacher, had the experience of learning to use chopsticks. "I need to hold them properly to be able to put the food carefully into my mouth." Eric' s Chinese friends taught him patiently, but it still took him months to learn this skill. "But it's worth learning. I have learned a lot from this experience," Eric said.
Cultures can often be understood through food. For Chinese, food doesn't just provide energy. It also brings happiness. And chopsticks also mean a lot. As a good example of Chinese culture, they show the Chinese wisdom(智慧).
(1)、Why did the ancient Chinese invent chopsticks?(2)、Who thought peace would not appear if people used knives during a meal?(3)、What led to a big change in Chinese cooking?(4)、How do many Westerners feel about using chopsticks?(5)、For Chinese, which do chopsticks show, energy or wisdom? -

Hi, I'm Fion a from Shanghai. I'm going to Xizang in August, but I can't decide how to get there. What do you think is the best way?
I plan to visit the Palace Museum in Beijing during the National Day holiday. Are there any rules I should know?
My friend and I will travel to Tokyo next week. We are Chinese and neither of us can speak Japanese. We really need a local guide to help us.
I'm a foreign visitor in Chongqing. Can you recommend (推荐) some delicious food here?
My class is going on a study tour of Shenzhen next week. It will be my first time in the city. What should I bring?

A. The Palace Museum is often crowded during holidays. You'd better buy tickets early. As for the rules, you can't smoke or bring pets inside. Also, please don't leave any marks on the works of art or the walls.
B. Travelling with family can be fun. You can go sightseeing, enjoy food, and take nice photos together. Remember: safety first.
C. It's hot in Shenzhen. You can take some T-shirts and shorts with you. If you' re going to spend a long time outdoors, don't forget to protect yourself from the sun. Have a nice trip!
D. I think the best way to go to Xizang is by train. It's cheap and comfortable. You can enjoy the beautiful sights along the way. What's more, you have time to adapt to(适应) the local weather and environment.
E. Chongqi ng is famous for its hot pot. It's tasty and spicy(辣的). If you like snacks, you can go to the Bayi Street. There are lots of great restaurants and snacks on the street.
F. The best season to visit Kunming is March. The weather is cool and comfortable. You can see all kinds of flowers and feed birds in the Dianchi Lake.
G. My name is Gina. I'm Chinese and I' ve been working as a guide in Tokyo for more than three years. I can show you around the city if you like. Please email me at Ginal56@ yah.com.
