Dear Tom,

How are you recently, my dear friend? Now I will told you something about my English teacher, Mr. Lee.

Mr. Lee is forty years old. He lives the city. And she usually goes to visit his wife’s parents in the countryside with his family. He’s outgoing and gets along good with us students. His classes are very interested. After class, he often helps us with our English. He never smokes. He is good at sports. It is said that he have kept swimming for 20 years. He likes playing the chess. My classmates like him and both think he is one of the greater teachers in the world. Do you want to introducing me something about your teacher?

I am looking forward to your early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

2 . 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。

It happened two years ago. I was getting ready to go to Beijing     1     I fell down the stairs and hurt my leg. I thought nothing     2     (bad) could happen to me, so I decided to go anyway.

I managed to talk my father into giving me a ride to the station, which was five     3     (kilometer) from our house. We planned     4     (set) out very early to catch the 7 a. m. train but the car wouldn’t start. When we finally left, it was already 6:30. My father is     5     very slow driver so I asked him to speed up. When we were doing 120 km/h a policeman stopped us     6     handed out a rather heavy fine to my father for speeding. I was very     7     (worry) — there were only fifteen minutes left and we were nowhere near the station yet.

Much to my annoyance, the car     8     (sudden) started to jerk (颠簸) and it soon turned out that we had run out of petrol. We had to stop at the petrol station to fill up the tank. We finally got to the station at three minutes to seven. I kissed my father goodbye,     9     (jump) on the train and settled down in my seat in relief. But as soon as we reached the next station, I realized that I     10     (get) on the wrong train: I was traveling to Wuhan, not Beijing!

3 . Have you ever been in a difficult situation when you didn’t know what to do? Life can be full of challenges, whether it’s starting a new school, managing friendships or not doing as well as you’d hoped in a test or during a game.     1    . But by learning to be more resilient (有适应力的) you can deal with life’s ups and downs more easily.

    2    . It can mean feeling better quickly after a difficult experience, giving things a go and trying your best, or staying strong inside. Resilience is something you learn as you grow.     3    , the more confident you will feel next time.

Why does resilience matter? Being resilient is like having a superpower. It helps you take healthy risks, like trying a new sport. It can also make you more confident and willing to trust your instincts (本能). Sometimes bad things happen and it’s natural to feel sad or worried.     4    .

The children’s organization Place 2 Be says healthy relationships help to build resilience. Sharing your worries is also important.     5    , try to center on your good qualities. Remember a time when you dealt with fear or nerves to achieve something and you felt proud. Sleep is also a great help, so wind down and avoid screens before bedtime.

A．How do you have resilience

B．Everyone faces difficulties

C．The more challenges you face

D．When conditions become difficult

E．There are lots of ways to describe resilience

F．The study on resilience started during the 1970s

G．Resilience can make it easier to accept difficult feelings

4 . A new study suggests that some homemade soups — made of chicken, beef or vegetables — might help fight malaria.

Jake Baum of the Imperial College London led the research. He asked children at a London school to bring in homemade clear soups that their families would make to treat a fever. The soups were then exposed to the parasite (寄生虫) that creates 99.7 percent of malaria cases in Africa, the World Health Organization explained.

Of the 56 soups tested, five were more than 50 percent effective in containing the growth of the parasite. Two were as effective as one drug now used to treat malaria. And four soups were more than 50 percent effective at preventing parasites from aging to the point that they could infect mosquitoes that spread the disease. Baum also noted that it was unclear which foods made the soups effective against malaria.

The soups came from families from different ethnic histories, including Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. They had several main ingredients, including chicken, beef and green vegetables. Baum said the vegetarian soups showed similar results to the soups with meat.

Baum said his aim was in part to show children that scientific research can turn a herbal (草本的) cure into a man-made medicine. He noted the research of Dr. Tu Youyou from China. In the 1970s, she found that the herb qinghao was an effective antimalarial (抗疟疾的) treatment. The herb has been used in Eastern medicine for two thousand years. Tu’s research led to the man-made drug artemisinin (青蒿素), a drug now widely used to treat malaria.

More and more people are becoming resistant (耐受的) to the drugs that treat the disease, which kills nearly 400,000 people a year. That means scientists will have to “look beyond chemistry” and find new drugs, Baum adds.

1. Why did children at a London school bring in homemade soups?

A．To taste its favour.	B．To have for lunch.
C．To compete with others.	D．To take part in an experiment.

2. What do we know about the research led by Jake Baum?

A．All the soups are not effective in killing the parasite.

B．What in the soups works is still unknown.

C．The soups have no effect on mosquitoes from spreading malaria.

D．The vegetarian soups are more delicious than the soups with meat.

3. Why does Baum take Dr. Tu Youyou as an example?

A．To emphasize her great achievement in treating malaria.

B．To express his respect for Dr. Tu Youyou.

C．To note a herbal cure can come into a man-made medicine.

D．To show qinghao has been discovered for a long time.

4. What is scientists’ task next?

A．To expand their studies to find new medicines.	B．To collect more soups for scientific study.
C．To improve the taste of the soups.	D．To find out why malaria exists in many countries.

5 . The Internet has become a part of human life. There’s a report on 3, 375 people aged from 10 to 38 in seven Chinese cities. It says that 38 percent of them believe they use the Internet often. While most of them get useful information and use the Internet in their works and studies. Some are not using it in a good way. Many are playing online games too much. A few even visit websites they should not look at. It seems that we can’t live in a world without the Internet.

Actually, we are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know the history of the Internet?

Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer network didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system (系统) had to be set up.

It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time. At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made “surfing” the Internet easier.

Today it is easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mails is more and more popular among young people. The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people’s life.

1. How long has the Internet been used?

A．For about 10 years.

B．For about 20 years.

C．For about 40 years.

D．For about 60 years

2. What is TRUE about computers in the 1990s?

A．They became cheaper and easier to use.	B．They became larger and larger.
C．People couldn’t buy them anywhere.	D．People could get information only from them.

3. What can we infer from the last sentence?

A．People will be happy without the Internet.	B．People will more and more depend on the Internet.
C．People live a hard life with the Internet.	D．All people should stop to use their computers.

4. Which is the best title for this passage?

A．Computers and the Government	B．Computers and Information
C．The History of the Internet	D．The History of Inventions

6 . One of the most important things of the U. S. government’s routine in 2020 is to raise the federal (联邦) legal age for buying tobacco from age 18 to 21.

Beginning in the summer of 2020, it will be against the law to sell tobacco to anyone under the age of 21. Since 1990, the legal age permitted to buy cigarette is at least 18. The law also includes e-cigarette, not just traditional tobacco products like cigarettes and cigars, adding regulation to this industry, which has developed largely unchecked.

The use of E-cigarette has increased sharply among U. S. teenagers. According to the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services, 27.5% of U. S. high school students have used e-cigarette in the past month. Raising the age one can buy tobacco is intended to avoid what many people are calling an epidemic, which is doing great harm to the health of American teenagers.

A recent outbreak of the disease related to e-cigarette has raised even more concern about e-cigarette products , although the disease is largely linked to cartridges (药筒) filled with addictive Vitamin E acetate sold in black market.

In a statement to TIME, the American Lung Association considered raising the age one can buy tobacco as an easy way to protect children’s health and prevent them from getting addicted to nicotine.

Those in favor of e-cigarette have made it clear that they support raising the legal age permission for buying and using tobacco, arguing that e-cigarette products are never designed for young people. Some anti-cigarette (反对吸烟) people have expressed their doubt of this opinion.

At present, twenty states have already raised the legal age to buy cigarette to 21.

1. What can we learn about the new law for buying tobacco?

A．It’s good for the tobacco market.	B．It also works for e-cigarette.
C．It aims to stop selling cigarette.	D．It’ll be illegal to buy cigarette.

2. What does the underlined word “epidemic” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Crime.

B．Shoplifting.

C．Disease.

D．Burglary.

3. Which of the following may an anti-cigarette people agree?

A．E-cigarette products are aimed at young people.

B．Cigarettes only do harm to young people.

C．E-cigarette should not be allowed.

D．People don’t have to obey the legal law.

4. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
