1 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Nowadays, with the growing     1    (popular) of smartphones and computers, an increasing number of students are choosing to learn English beyond the classroom in     2    (vary) ways.

It can easily be seen     3    the percentage of students who choose listening to English     4     (song) and watching English movies is respectively 65% and 50%. However, those choosing reading English books and visiting English learning websites only account     5    18% and 12%.

As far as I’m     6    (concern), it is a disturbing trend. For students, what benefits most to their study is reading English books     7    (constant). Because of their lack of self-discipline, they’re more easily     8    (addict) to chatting online or playing games.     9     is urgent for students themselves to improve their self-discipline, and it’s also urgent for parents and teachers to     10     (strength) the guidance.

2 . 语法填空

An epidemic is an infectious disease that     1    (rapid) spreads to a large number of people within a short period of time. Epidemics can be caused by several different     2    (factor), such as a virus or bacteria.

One of the earliest     3    (record) epidemics happened between about 500 and 550 CE. It killed up to 50% of the area’s population,     4    (make) it one of the main reasons of the fall of the Roman Empire. In     5    1330s, the epidemic known as “The Black Death” returned in Asia and spread to Europe. Centuries later in 1918, the Spanish Flu     6    (strike). In 2002, SARS began     7    a case of lung disease in China. It spread to Canada, Vietnam and Singapore and lasted until 2003. Then in West Africa between 2013 and 2016, there was the most widespread outbreak of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD),     8    killed over 11,000 people.

Governments worldwide have underlined the fact that they need     9    (far) medical research on epidemics     10    (get) at the causes and come up with cures as soon as possible.

3 . Do you always get angry about something? Do you always take things too personally? Do you find yourself thinking people are laughing at you in public places?     1     If you are sensitive about something, you are easily worried and angry when people talk about it.

    2     Actually, sensitive people can appreciate food, the sound of music, the different colors of nature, or even traffic. They can also notice small differences in meaning, making them more emotionally(感情上地) intelligent and more creative.

However, it can also be a terrible burden(负担) if left uncared for.     3     So you should do something to stop being too sensitive. For example, recognize those people who often leave you feeling tired in life and avoid them. Instead, surround yourself with people who will make you feel bright and happy. If you constantly feel negative about yourself, you’ll struggle with being sensitive.     4    

Another important thing to do is forgive those who have wronged you. Often sensitive people aren’t good at letting things go.     5     This is unhealthy as it’ll keep you from enjoying both the present and the future. Take the lesson; leave the pain.

In a word, though being sensitive is certainly a challenge, you can deal with it correctly by taking proper efforts.

A．Why are some people sensitive?

B．Being a bit sensitive isn’t a bad thing.

C．You are sensitive and you can’t change that.

D．If the answer to any of these questions is yes, you are sensitive.

E．As a result, they find it difficult to move on from painful experiences.

F．So when a negative thought comes, correct it with something positive.

G．Sensitive people always put too much pressure on themselves and tend not to take care of themselves properly.

6 . After entering high school, you may find there are many clubs at your school. You may think you’re too busy to join one. But as a former high school student,I can tell you joining a school club can greatly benefit you.

Your old friends may have left you after entering high school.   And it means you need to meet new people. Joining a club allows you to talk with others and find those who have similar interests as you. Based on my experience, I have met some of my best friends from club activities,which opened up many new doors for me.

Another really nice thing about joining a club is that it looks really good on your applications (申请书). Trying new things is something that looks really good on any application. Outgoing is considered a very good quality which shows that you are determined and willing to put yourself out there and best of all try new things. What’s more, it can help you develop skills that can serve you during future college interviews.

Besides, joining a club can make students use their free time wisely. Most teens go to schools, then go back home and spend the rest of the day in front of a screen. Teens are also very likely to fall into the wrong crowd, which could lead to some bad results. Clubs are good places to spend time with good people to fall back on.

The most important reason why you should join a club is the long­term benefits it brings. The classroom isn’t the only learning environment in a school. The skills you learn in clubs are necessary ones that can be used in everyday life, which I think is the final goal of joining a club. Things such as meeting and speaking to new people,making the most of time,and being organized are those you will meet every single day of your life, but you can learn all of them in clubs.

So if you haven’t joined a school club yet,you know what you should do now.

1. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “ benefit” in paragraph 1.?

A．be good for

B．support

C．make use of

D．cheer up

2. What can we learn from the second paragraph?

A．Friends should share common interest.	B．Joining a club helps one make friends.
C．Joining a club benefits one’s mental health.	D．Friends may leave each other sooner or later.

3. In the author’s opinion,what’s the greatest benefit of joining a club?

A．Developing new hobbies.	B．Meeting different people.
C．Gaining useful life skills.	D．Making use of your free time.

4. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A．To give tips on making new friends.	B．To show ways to set up school clubs.
C．To teach students to enjoy a better school life.	D．To encourage high school students to join a club.

5. In which section of a magazine,may this text appear?

A．Health.	B．School life.
C．Culture.	D．Social work.

9 . This is the season for holiday travel! As one of the busiest times of the year approaches, many of us are preparing for a vacation with our families and friends.    1    Not to mention, there's often lots of indulging (放纵) between now and New Year's and the last thing any of us wants is to pack on extra weight.    2    

1. Walk everywhere.

Instead of taking buses, try to walk whenever possible. This is one of my favorite things to do when traveling, even if I'm going somewhere familiar.    3    And you're fitting in extra exercise as a bonus. To give yourself an extra boost (促进), always take the stairs instead of the elevator. And don't get on those moving sidewalks in the airport!

2. Find a local hike.

For bonus points:    4    Do a bit of research to find a scenic spot for the whole family to enjoy. Not only will you boost your bum, but a change of scenery is also a great way to bond with your loved ones and experience something new.

3.     5    

Plenty of people just head home for the holidays, but if you're going somewhere new and exciting this year do not overlook running routes as a fun way to see the sights. Nothing spices up (添趣) a run or brisk walk quite like a beautiful view. This is a great way to explore the area on foot while getting your body moving and breaking a sweat.

A．Start running!

B．Don't just walk, hike!

C．Sightsee while on a run.

D．It's a good time to go on a diet.

E．Though this is something to look forward to, it can also be stressful.

F．It's amazing what you can discover by walking around your hometown.

G．Here are some tips for staying fit while you're on the go this holiday season.

10 . 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式.

One day when I was about 12, my neighbor, an elderly woman,     1    (ask) me to help out. She was too weak and sick to be living on her own. I agreed, but wasn't exactly excited, considering that I have a hard time in       2    (be) around new people for long periods of time.

On my first day, I was nervous when greeting her. She welcomed me     3     a warm hug and directed me to the living room, not seeming to notice     4     I was. First we made idle (闲聊) chat for a little bit, then she had me clean walls and dust     5    (shelf) and so on. While I was in the same room with    6    (she), she talked to me about her younger days. It was nice to learn interesting things about     7    1930s from someone directly, rather than a book.

After three hours of work, I     8    (wear) out, but learned an important quality: patience. I learned to focus on what I was doing and go slow rather than rush it.

Her house became bright and I felt     9    (pride). When offered money, I didn't take it. Instead, I gave her a big hug and thanked her.

I’m 15 now and we're good friends. She's almost like another grandmother to me.    10    (happy) I have her in my life.
