【題目】 Passage 3

There are many useful inventions in the world. Have you ever wished to have an umbrella that makes your hands free? Alan Kaufman has thought up the “Nubrella”, which means “new”+ “umbrella”. It is the first truly hands-free umbrella in the world. The inventor says that it stops rain, wind and snow and can keep your head, face and hair dry.

“I never planned to invent a product. I just noticed a problem and thought up a solution,” said the inventor. The idea for the invention began on one rainy day. Mr Kaufman was standing in one of his stores. He began to look at people’s umbrellas. He found that they had to try very hard to keep their umbrellas in the right place. At that moment an idea came into his mind. He ran to his desk and drew a picture. In this way, the Nubrella was born. One cool feature of the Nubrella is that you don’t hold it like a usual umbrella, you wear it. The shoulder straps(肩帶) of the Nubrella allow people to be fully hands-free, so when walking in the rain with the Nubrella, you are able to use your cell phone or drink a hot cup of coffee. Also, the Nubrella will never be inverted(顛倒) in the wind. The new umbrella is far safer than traditional ones, because it has no sharp points.

1“Nubrella” is a kind of_________ umbrella.

A.usualB.hands-freeC.traditionalD.paper

2How can you use the “Nubrella”

A.You can wear the shoulder straps of the Nubrella.B.You can put the Nubrella on your head.

C.You can use your hands to control it.D.You can put it on your bike.

3Which of the following is NOT right?

A.“Nubrella” means “new”+ “umbrella”.

B.The idea of the new umbrella came from the rainy day.

C.When you are walking in the rain, you’d better take the Nubrella.

D.If you go out with the Nubrella in the rain, you’d better drink a hot cup of coffee.

4It can be learned from the passage that_________.

A.Alan Kaufman often uses umbrellas in everyday life

B.the new kind of umbrella was invented by an umbrella store owner

C.the inventor thought for a long time before inventing the Nubrella

D.you can do other things with your hands when using the Nubrella

5In writing this passage, the writer mainly intends(意圖) to_________ .

A.introduce this new kind of umbrella to people who are selling umbrellas

B.tell the readers about a great inventor named Alan Kaufman

C.tell the readers about a new invention that is very useful

【題目】 Do you know how to study better and make your study more effective (有效率的)? We all know that Chinese students usually study very hard for long hours. This is very good .But it doesn’t help a lot, because an efficient student must have enough sleep, enough food, enough rest and exercise. Every day you need to go out for a walk or visit some friends or some places. It’s good for your study.

When you return to your study, your mind will be refreshed and you’ll learn more and study better. Psychologists (心理學家) have found that learning takes place in this way. Here take English learning for example. First you make a lot of progress and you feel happy. Then your language study seem to stay the same, so you will think you’re learning nothing and you may give up. This can last days or even weeks.

You shouldn’t give up. At some points your language study will again take another big jump. You will see that you really have been learning all long. If you get enough sleep, food, rest and exercise, studying English can be very effective and interesting. Don’t give up along the way. Learn slowly and you’re sure to get a good result.

閱讀短文,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容判斷正誤,正確的選A,錯誤的選B。

1An efficient student must study very hard for long hours.

2It’s very important for students to have enough food, sleep, rest and exercise.

3Going out for a walk isn’t good for your study.

4When you return to your study after a good rest, you’ll learn more and study better.

5Although your English learning seems to stay the same, you shouldn’t give up.

【題目】 You sometimes feel so close to your friends that they are like family to you. Why? A study by San Diego, a professor, has found you and your friends have more genes (基因) in common than strangers do. Maybe this gives you the answer.

Researchers looked at the genes of 1,932 people and compared them in pairs of friends and strangers. They found that friends have 1 percent of genes that match.

“One percent may not sound like much to laypersons (外行),but to geneticists (遺傳學家) it is a huge number,” Professor Nicholas said. “In fact, this is the same amount of genes you share with your fourth cousins, those who have the same great-great-great grandparents as you.'

So is it a coincidence (巧合) that you become friends with people who share your genes? Not at all. “People who share certain genes also share skills and have similar likes and dislikes,” researchers said. In ancient times, it was important that people who were alike stayed together. For example, people who had a similar sensitivity to the cold were more likely to help each other. They would make a fire to, give themselves a better chance to live. Researchers also found that among all the genes studied, those influencing the sense of smell were the most similar in friends. This is probably because people who smell things in the same way are more easily drawn to similar environments.

Based on the findings, the team has developed an interesting test called the “friendship score”. It can calculate how big the chances are that two people will be friends by studying their genes.

So, here is a question for you: would you like to take this test to know who your friends are going to be?

1You sometimes feel close to your friends because_________.

A.they act like your familyB.you spend much time together

C.you influence each other a lotD.you have more genes in common

2What can we know according to Professor Nicholas's words?

A.Our friends are actually relatives of ours.

B.One percent sounds like much to laypersons.

C.We have one percent of genes that match our fourth cousins.

D.Our fourth cousins have the same great-great grandparents as us.

3What kind of genes are the most similar in friends?

A.The genes that make people have similarities in the look.

B.The genes that make people smell things in the same way.

C.The genes that make people have a similar sensitivity to the cold.

D.The genes that make people develop a similar taste in music.

4What does the underlined word “calculate” in the text mean?

A.work outB.depend onC.set upD.make sure

5What is the best title of the text?

A.Our Friends, Our FamilyB.Good Friends, the Same Genes

C.Genes Help Us Become FriendsD.“Friendship Score”, an Interesting Test

What is the image of a typical female scientist? Perhaps you think of a pair of 1glasses, dirty hair and a few wrinkles(皺紋)on the forehead? With her high-heeled shoes and beautiful look, Ning Yan may break that thought. Named "the goddess scientist", Yan, 42, is an outstanding 2in the US because of her achievements in biology. She is a rising star in the science world. After graduating from Tsinghua University and Princeton, she3to set up her own laboratory at Tsinghua in 2007. At age 30, she became one of China's youngest-ever female professors.

It was a long road to get where she is now. She told People magazine that she always believes that scientists need a pure mind and hard work. Yan says she likes the quiet night 4helps her focus on the research. She also works at least 14 hours a day, but she is energetic, because she thinks research is 5 job for her in the world.

Besides scientific research, Yan enjoys 6TV dramas and classic novels. To our 7, the novel Journey to the West inspired(激發(fā))her to be interested in biology. In the book, the Monkey King changes into other animals. She wondered what it would be like to change ourselves.

As she realizes her own dreams, Yan tries to encourage more women 8on careers(事業(yè))in science. In her eyes, there's no 9between men and women in the scientific fields. “Women can work as 10as men and live the way they choose to," she said in a public interview.

【題目】 A novel coronavirus (新冠狀病毒), a cousin of the SARS virus, has infected (感染)more than 40, 000people since the outbreak (爆發(fā)) began in Huanan Seafood Market, Wuhan, China, in December. At first, we knew little about this virus. With more researches going on, we get to learn more about it.

Coronaviruses are a large group of viruses that are common among animals. In rare cases, they are what scientists call zoonotic (人畜共患病), meaning they can be transmitted(傳播) from animals to humans, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.It is believed that the novel coronavirus spreads from human contact with animals.Bats are widely believed to be carriers of the latest strain of the disease.

Chinese researchers said on Friday that the endangered pangolin (穿山甲) may be the intermediate(媒介) host between bats and humans.

The viruses can make people sick, usually with a mild(輕度) to moderate(中度) upper respiratory tract illness(上呼吸道疾。, similar to a common cold, including a runny nose, cough, sore throat, possibly a headache and maybe a fever, which can last for a couple of days. For those with a weakened immune(免疫的)system, the elderly and the very young, there's a chance the virus could cause deadly diseases.

What's horrible about this virus is that once a human is infected, he/she becomes a carrier of the virus and spreads it to more people by coughing, sneezing or even handshaking.The virus can also be transmitted by touching something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes. Doctors and nurses may also catch the disease when taking care of the patients, so they are required to wear strict protective clothes.

To fight against the disease, as individuals(個人,個體), we should strictly follow the requirements of the government to stay at home and help to prevent the spread of the disease. In terms of the ……而言)government, a strong health care system can surely help decrease the risk of health attack and lessen the impact of the disease.

1Where did the outbreak begin?

______________________________________________________________________

2What animal does the novel coronavirus come from according to the researchers?

3What symptoms (癥狀) may people have when they are affected?
