Frederic Chopin was born in March 1810 near Warsaw in Poland and was one of the greatest musicians in the world. He composed twenty-four short (piece)for the piano called preludes. The longest one, Prelude No. 15, is better (know)by its nickname,the" Raindrop" Prelude. How did it get its nickname?
One day in 1838, when Chopin' s lover George Sand went out in a rainstorm, Chopin became worried. While he (wait) for Sand,he wrote Prelude No. 15.
When Sand came back, Chopin played (she)the music. Sand thought the notes sounded like raindrops. She let Chopin listen to the raindrops (fall)on the roof. This made Chopin (happy). He insisted that he never paid attention to those sounds or (copy)them.
However, like Sand, many people hear raindrops in this prelude. Some notes repeating throughout the piece sound like raindrops. The flow of the music is like rain, too. The piece starts (soft), but it gets louder, like rain getting (heavy). Then the music gets quiet and finally (end), like rain when it stops.

I knew Marty' s magic was fake(假的),but I just couldn' t prove it. One day I caught a lucky break. At lunch, Marty was going on about how he could make things 1 . He had a ring in one hand and a pencil in the other.
That' s when I 2 it: a thin piece of fishing line around the end of the pencil and attached(连接)to Marty' s shirt! Sure enough, he made it by sliding(滑动)the ring over the pencil and hanging it from the line. No one else 3 the line, and soon the whole dining hall was cheering. When the crowds were gone, I walked over. It was time to 4 the Magic Marty show. " I know how you did it," I said, looking him right in the eye.
" 5 ," Marty replied. " But the first law of magic is that... " " It was the fishing line. "
Marty became 6 . He looked a bit worried. Without all his confidence, he seemed more normal(平常). I suddenly felt bad.
" So, are you going to tell other people? " he asked. I thought about it for a moment. If I did, I would 7 be able to prove that Marty' s magic was fake. But would that really make me feel happy? What about Marty? He might 8 his new friends. How would that make him feel?
" Nah," I said. " It will be a 9 between you and me. "
Marty let out a relieved sigh, and I turned to walk away.
" Wait! " Marty jumped in front of me. " You' ve got a pretty good eye for magic. If you' re 10 , I have an idea. "
That' s how the Magic Marty and Mysterious Matt Lunch Show began.

3、 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。
In a video, someone cuts open a coconut(椰子),pours its juice and takes away meat in about five seconds. What does it take to master a skill like that?
Many people see it as a rule that says," Just spend a lot of time practicing. " Many studies have shown that to improve our skills,we cannot just practice, but must use " deliberate(刻意的)practice" .
So what is deliberate practice? Imagine you want to become a professional violin player. You can already play some great pieces. Do you get better by only playing those same pieces over and over again? Or do you try to learn new songs? " Deliberate practice" is different from" common practice" . It requires feedback(反馈)and constant(不断的)challenges to yourself.
Teachers can find mistakes and make corrections. But they cannot be there for us every step of the way. So we must be able to provide our own feedback and learn from our own mistakes. If you are a runner who can run 100 meters in 12 seconds, you can try to achieve the same success in 11 seconds or even 10 seconds. Even if you are already the best in the world at something, your goals to challenge yourself and do better should never disappear.
" Professional" coconut openers can complete their tasks in five seconds. The only difference between them is that professional openers make efforts to constantly improve themselves, while others are just continuing to" practice" .
A. But it is not the real reason.
B. Constant challenges are pretty easy.
C. There are others who take much longer.
D. They offer us something that we need.
E. Do you also record yourself and listen for mistakes?
F. Feedback commonly comes from teachers and ourselves.

4、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
It is often said the laughter is the best medicine. But researchers at the University of Oxford think the ability to belly laughs(捧腹大笑)was unique to early humans. This, they believe, made our ancestors(祖先)able to form much larger groups.
The researchers first tested the pain thresholds(临界值)of some volunteers. They divided them into two groups. One group was shown15 minutes of comedy videos, while the other was shown boring programs.
Through this experiment, the researchers found that those who had recently experienced belly laughs were able to withstand(忍受)up to10% more pain than they had done before watching the videos. To their surprise, the scientists also found that the other group was less able to with stand pain after watching 15 minutes of the " boring" programs.
Professor Robin Dunbar of Oxford University, who led there search, believed that belly laughs release chemicals called endorphins(安多芬)into the body which make us feel less painful.
However, not all comedy programs had such effects, according to Prof Dunbar. For example, though clever stand-up comedy was found to be enjoyable, it had no effect on raising pain thresholds. " Things that worked very well were interesting comedies such as Mr. Bean. Situation comedies such as Friends also seemed to be particularly successful," he added.
In order to measure(测量)endorphin levels, the researchers put a bag of ice on the volunteers' arms to see how long they could withstand them. They found that the greater the increase in pain thresholds, the greater the amount of endorphins produced.
The purpose of Prof Dunbar' s study was not to develop a new treatment. Instead, it was to study the role of laughter in the forming of human societies two million years ago.
" The next stage will be to see whether laughing really allows people to keep together and work as a group better and be more friendly towards each other. If that is the case, then it may explain why some two million years ago, the first humans were able to form large communities of up to 100," Dunbar added.
(1)、Prof Dunbar' s study was to ____.A、test the pain thresholds of humans B、measure the endorphin levels while laughing C、develop a new kind of medicine that reduces pain D、explore the influence of laughter in forming human societies(2)、In order to withstand more pain, we' d better ____.A、watch some scary films B、watch some beautiful pictures C、watch some boring programs D、watch some comedy videos(3)、The meaning of the underlined word" release" in the passage may be____A、look out B、stand out C、find out D、give out(4)、What did the researcher do to measure the level of endorphins?A、Let the volunteers watch videos. B、Ask the volunteers to live in the lab. C、Make the volunteers have medicines. D、Put ice bags on the volunteers' arms.(5)、What can we know from the last paragraph?A、More experiments about laughter will be carried out. B、Laughter makes people keep together and work as a group. C、People who laugh a lot are more friendly towards each other. D、The first humans could only form small communities less than 100. -
5、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
People believe that every word has its correct meaning(s). When we are not sure, we usually check online, or turn to our teachers or dictionaries. But do you know how dictionaries were made in the past?
Dictionary writers first read the important books of the period or the subject that the dictionary was about. As they read, they copied necessary information on cards: interesting words, common words—both in their daily uses and unusual uses, and also the sentences where they were used. That is to say, the words, along with the uses of each word, were collected. For a really big dictionary, millions of such cards were collected. This task could last for years. As the cards we recollected, they were put in alphabetical order(A—Z). When this was done, there would be several hundred cards for each single word.
Then, to define(定义)a word, the dictionary writer placed its hundreds of cards before him. He read the cards closely, threw away some, read the rest again, and divided up the cards according to what he thought were the common uses of the word. Finally, he wrote the definitions, following the hard-and-fast rule: each definition must come from an example on a certain card in front of him.
So, the writing of a dictionary was not a task of inventing meanings of words, but a task of recording their meanings. The writer of a dictionary was a historian, not a law maker.
As time develops, the way of producing dictionaries has greatly changed. Nowadays, we can use online dictionaries too. When choosing our words in speaking or writing, we can be guided by the dictionary. However, we cannot be controlled by it, because new situations, new experiences, new inventions, and new feelings are always pushing us to give new uses to old words.
(1)、Why did dictionary writers read important books?A、To know more about the period. B、To collect words and their uses. C、To understand different subjects. D、To learn to use interesting words.(2)、Which shows the correct steps of how dictionaries were made in the past?
A、①—③—④—② B、①—②—④—③ C、③—①—④—② D、③—④—②—①(3)、What can we learn from the passage about dictionary writing in the past?A、It was long-time hard work. B、It was a task of inventing and recording. C、It should be done by historians. D、It had to use the law-making rules.(4)、What does the writer advise us to do when we choose words in communication?A、Try to create new words. B、Follow the dictionary strictly. C、Use online dictionaries instead. D、Be open to the new uses of words. -
6、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Energy is the ability to do work. Solar energy comes from the Sun. There is also energy that comes from wind and water.
But do you know that energy can come from people, too? When you pedal a bike, you produce energy. You use your legs to push the pedals. Your energy is transferred(转移)to the bike. That makes the bike move.

Now imagine riding your bike to create enough power to run a computer. Some students at one school did just that! They jumped on bikes connected to generators(发电机)and pedaled in place. Soon they were producing electricity. This energy is needed to run their computers.
Here is how bicycle-powered energy works. When a student pedals the bike, the back wheel spins(旋转). The wheel spins the generator. The generator produces electricity. As long as a student pedals the bicycle, electricity moves through the generator. The electricity can be used right away. This energy can also be stored and used later.
People use bicycle-powered energy to run small devices(设备)such as small televisions and fans. They often use less than 100 watts per hour. However, it would be a mistake to use pedal power to run a fridge. This large machine often uses more than 700 watts per hour. The electricity for these machines comes from power lines overhead or underground.
Pedal power can be seen in schools, gyms, and homes. What a fun way to provide electricity!
(1)、How does the writer lead into the topic " bicycle-powered energy" in Paragraph 2?A、By asking a question. B、By telling a joke. C、By using an old saying. D、By making a survey.(2)、What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A、The future of new energy. B、The forms of world' s energy. C、Producing bicycle-powered energy. D、Using bicycle-powered energy.(3)、What do we know about bicycle-powered energy?A、It can' t be seen in schools. B、It can be stored and used later. C、It comes from wind and water. D、It' s from power lines overhead. -

9、 阅读下面的短文,将划线部分译成英文或中文。

Besides the animal zodiac system(十二生肖), Chines people also show their connection with animals in other ways Paper-cutting in the shape of animals is one of the most common examples.
Paper-cutting is an amazing art. People use scissors cut paper into different shapes of animals, flowers, cut babies and so on. This art just needs simple tools, but it is not easy at all. When we look at the masters to cut paper, it only takes them a few minutes to finish, but for green hands, 他们需要练习很长时间。
Paper-cutting has a long history. When it first appeared in around 386, it didn' t attract much attention because of the shortage of paper. 这种艺术直到 6 世纪才开始流行。With the development of the art, even in royal(皇家的) families ladies were also judged by the ability at paper cutting. In the 21st century, red paper-cutting which means good luck can be often seen in weddings.
Without doubt, all these handwork products can reflect the relations between humans and animals, and even the whole world, and also the wisdom of ancient Chinese people. It' s regretful that fewer and fewer young people show interest in it. Maybe, when the young can understand the real spirit of the art, they will finally fall in love with it.

" Humans can develop certain abilities we aren' t born with by practicing animals' movements," the traditional Chinese Wushu lovers believed in the past — and still do today.
Chinese Five-Animal Exercises, also known as Wuqinxi, are the first complete set of qigong exercises following the movements of animals: monkeys, deer (鹿), birds, bears and tigers. They were created by one of the greatest doctors in Chinese history, Hua Tuo, more than 1,800 years ago.

The bird movements can help keep our knees healthy and the monkey movements can be good for the heart. " said Hua Yi, the 59th inheritor (继承人) of Wuqinxi.
For those new learners, the first few exercises might not go well. You may find it hard to focus. Wear comfortable clothes, keep peaceful in your mind, try to move slowly. . . Little by little, you' ll feel more and more harmonious with nature. You may even feel you become a tiger or a deer, walking in the forest freely.
These exercises need no tools. You can search online for the videos and practice them at any time when you feel like relaxing your body and mind. Because it' s fun to practice and good for health, Five-Animal Exercises are becoming more and more popular in recent years, not only in China, but also in many other places of the world.
