The Children's Book-show Competition is a chance for young readers to be writers.

Reading, it seems, is coming back in fashion, if a survey by the famous National Literacy Trust (the NLT) is true. It shows that the percentage of children who admit enjoying reading has grown for the first time in the past 8 years.

So it's a good time to launch a competition that includes a shedload of new books for schools as prizes. The Children's Book-show Competition, backed by The Independent, is tak?ing to the road again from the start of next term, with a na?tionwide tour of 15 big cities, featuring a line-up of a dozen children's writers and illustrators (插圖畫家)aiming to per?suade pupils to follow in their footsteps.

The competition, launched by the children's writer and illustrator Jessica Souhami, has two categories: the children under nine years old and nine- to thirteen-year-olds.

Children are asked to choose their favourite fairy or folk tales and set them in extraordinary places. 丁hen they are to retell them with the aid of drawings and writings―whether they are set at sea, on a distant planet, in the future or in the past. The closing date for the competition is 30 November.

"Tell your tale in pictures and in words, " say the organ?izers of the competition. "It can be in a picture book or comic book format.，，

The winner of each competition will receive a signed copy of a book by each of the 12 authors involved in this year's tour, plus £150 worth of books for his or her school. The runners-up will receive a signed copy of Souhami's new book.

5. What can we know about the Children's Book-show Com?petition?

 

A. It will be held by the famous NLT.

B.It will be held in different cities,

C.It has never been organized before.

D. Children of all ages will join in it,

6. The underlined word " backed" in Paragraph 3 means

7. What will be offered as prizes to schools?

5.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二-段的"The Children's Book-show Com?petition, backed by The Independent, is taking to the road again from the start of next term, with a nationwide tour of 15 big cities."" 可知，這個活動會在許多城市舉行。故選B項。

6. C 詞義猜測題。由by TTie Independent可知back為"支持"之意。故選C項。

7. B 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的"…plus £150 worth of bo

 oks for his or her school."可知B項正確。

A [2015 •河北普通高中高三教學質(zhì)量監(jiān)測]

Martha Graham, born in 1894s was one of the most fa?mous dancers and creators of dance, whose influence on dance has been compared with the influence Picasso had on the mod?ern visual arts, Stravinsky had on music, or Frank Lloyd Wright had on architecture. She created almost two hundred dance pieces. She is often called the Mother of Modern Dance.

Earlier in her life, however, Martha did not know that she would become a dancer. At that time, the dancers were looked down on. So Martha's parents didn't approve of her desire to dance at the beginning. In 1916, she began her stud?ies at the newly created Denishawn School of Dancing and Re?lated Arts, founded by Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn, where Graham worked very hard to improve her ability to dance because she was considered too old to begin dancing.

  In 1936， Graham made her defining work, Chronicle which signalled the beginning of a new era in modern dance. The dance brought serious issues to the stage for the general public in a dramatic manner. Influenced by the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the Great Depression that followed, and the Spanish Civil War, it focused on depression and isolation, re?flected in the dark nature of both the set and costumes.

Graham continued to dance when past the age of seven?ty. Once again* she met with criticism from people who came to watch her shows. But she didn't give up. Her last comple?ted ballet was 1990's Maple Leaf Rag. A Dancer's Life is an introduction to Graham and her work. It tells about her dances and her dance group and shows some of their meth?ods.

Martha Graham received many awards during her life?time, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1976. She was the first dancer to receive the country's highest civi卜ian honour. She died in 1991 at the age 

of ninety-six. In 1998， TIME magazine listed her as the "Dancer of the Centu?ry" and one of the most important people of the twentieth century.

Martha Graham__________ .

2.  Why didn't Martha's parents approve of her desire to dance at first?

 A.  She was too old to learn American dance.

B.  American dance was seen as a lower art form.

C.  There was no academic school to teach dancing.

D.  Her family was too poor to afford her tuition.

Gathering at the entrance of the station, we told to col?lect as many English words and sentences as possible here.

B [2015 •山東濟南高三一模]

Christmas in the United States is traditionally a time of gift-giving and family gatherings. But small towns across the country have their own traditions.

Middleburg, a small town in the state of Virginia, is known for its horses. For more than 50 years, Middleburg has organized a yearly Christmas parade(游行).Men and women ride horses through the woods and fields. They follow hunting dogs as they search for a wild fox. But first, these hunters ride in the yearly parade, wearing their bright red hunting clothes and hats.

John Hale,a citizen of Middleburg says many city people visit his town. "We have a lot of people from an urban area that come to visit, but it incorporates a lot of the old tradi?tions. "The night-time hay ride is one such tradition. Small groups gather under the moonlight on an open wagon filled with hay. The passengers sing as farm horses pull the wagon slowly across the fields.

There are some newer traditions ， too. Trey Matheu works at the nearby Salamander Resort. He says a visit to Middleburg is a chance to slow down for a day. He says Mid?dleburg can be a calming, peaceful place without tension.

"Middleburg is an opportunity to take a step back, take a deep breath, and understand that even though life is moving on at a very fast pace, there's really an opportunity where you're allowed to step off for a little bit."

   Parade organizers say more than 13,000 people attend even in below-freezing weather. But if you ask,you will hear many different reasons why people come to watch the parade:

"I come here because I'm from a small town. I like how everybody comes together. "" I live right down that street; right there. And that's my dog."

 Middleburg looks its best at Christmas time. That may be why so many people return each year.

5. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

 

A.     Middleburg Christmas parade

B.      A small town known for horses

C.      Christmas traditions in Middleburg

D.     Newer traditions at Christmas time

6. At Christmas, people in Middleburg usually__________ .

 

A.     visit friends and family

B.     feed farm horses with hay

C.     hunt for dogs in the woods

D.     ride in the yearly parade

7.According to Trey Matheu, why do people visit Middle?burg?

 

A.     To relax themselves.

B.     To enjoy the fresh air.

C.     To escape competition.

D.     To challenge themselves.

8. What do we know about the small town Middleburg?

 

A.     It makes a large profit from tourism.

B.     It attracts many people each year.

C.     It is a good place for family gatherings.

I went deaf in my right ear and was left with 50% of hearing in my left ear when I was a little boy. My doctors 9 that I would be completely deaf by now, and today, my remaining hearing  10  to 20% , so I think I'm doing pretty 11 .

[1] One of the tough things about being a high school student is that you never Seem to get enough sleep at night, which often leaves you nodding off during classes．The best amount of sleep is about seven and a half to eight hours．Spending either less than six or more than nine hours in sleeping puts your health at risk．

[2] A popular solution to a lack of sleep at night is to take a “power nap” during the day, but does this work?

[3] Generally speaking, it can be beneficial．Research shows that a nap in the middle of the day—even a brief one as Short as five or 10minutes—can clear your mind and leave you with increased energy and improved productivity．

[4] But here are some things you need to know to do it correctly．To start with, every time you doze off （打瞌睡） during the day does not count as a “power nap”．The best time to take a power nap is in the mid-afternoon, when your energy level tends to decrease．

[5] But how long should a power nap be? Ideally, it should be kept to between 10 and 30 minutes．Nodding off for five minutes does not really provide established sleep．If you, however, go into the deeper stage you will wake up feeling weak．

[6] However, refreshing as it might be, if you get adequate sleep at night, taking a power nap isn’t such a wise choice．The reason is that sleeping during the day can interfere with your body’s biorhythms．The brain gets used to going to bed and getting up at roughly the same time each day, and you don’t want to disturb this routine．

[7] One more thing to keep in mind is that a power nap should never be used as a replacement for a good night’s sleep．A power nap during the day is not like a tablet which will definitely work．An hour’s sleep before midnight is worth a couple of hours’ sleep after midnight．

2.What if a person spends less than six or more than nine hours in sleeping?

3.According to Paragraph 3, what benefits can we get from a nap in the middle of the day?

（no more than 4 words）
