一、類別：1、直接信息題：數據處理題、同義轉換題
2、間接信息題：是非題、排序題
二、解題方法：尋讀法
三、解題步驟：1.閱讀題干，抓關鍵詞
2.定位原文
3.分析選項
常見的題干有：
Which of the following is TRUE/NOT true
Which of the following is mentioned/NOT mentioned in the passage
Which of the following is the right order according to the text
Which of the following best describes...
Which of the following shows/gives the right relationship/position of...
When/Where/Why/Who/What/How...
所謂“事實細節”，是指在閱讀理解的短文中客觀存在的事實。細節理解題的答案一般都可以在原文中找到。一般來說，應在短文中找出相關信息的位置，確定試題測試的考點。當然，有的試題還得對原文所提供的事實進行一定的分析比較，才能做出正確的選擇。
(1)查讀法(scanning)
查讀是在讀者對材料有所了解的情況下進行的。查讀的特點是帶著問題尋找答案。
①用略讀的方法通讀閱讀材料，對原文有一個大概的了解，掌握其主旨。
②按文章的體裁，如按記敘文、說明文和議論文等及作者寫作的組織模式及有關的信息詞，如for example，first，second等預測應該到何處尋找自己所需要的事實。
③把主要精力放在尋找你所需要的細節上。快速通篇跳讀，眼睛自左至右，自上而下呈Z形掃視，直至找到你所需要的部分。待找到你所需要的部分時，可放慢速度，細讀要查找的內容。
(2)原文定位法
根據題干中的關鍵詞，找準相關句、段的內容，再仔細對照，不符合原文意義的選項要首先排除，反之，則是正確選項。
①是非判斷題。這類題的選項有兩種形式:四項中有三對一錯或三錯一對。四項內容通常是對同一問題進行判斷或對不同問題進行判斷。不管什么形式、什么內容，通常都用原文定位法，把選項內容與原文內容進行對比分析，判斷是否符合相關句的意義或在原文中提到過，然后進行排除解答。
②關于對年代和數字的考查通常分兩類:直接考查和計算考查。對前者，根據文中信息能很容易地確定答案;對后者，首先要弄清題干問的是什么，然后找到與它相關的年代和數字，對它們進一步分析、整合，最后，結合題干計算出正確答案。
③對于最后一種常見題型，有兩種考查形式:考查直接信息和對直接信息的理解。對直接信息的考查只需找到原文信息就能解決問題。后者則需對原文相關信息做正確理解，這個理解可能牽扯到對某一句話或某些句子的理解，考生在理解其意義時，一定要捕捉到關鍵性的詞。對這類題要認真、周全地考慮方能選取正確答案。這種題的正確選項往往是原文意義的不同表現形式。
(3)首尾定位法
做排序題可采用“首尾定位法”。即先找出最先發生的事和最后發生的事，迅速縮小選擇范圍，從而快速選出正確答案。
(4)排除法
利用排除法時，考生要注意的是有時在兩個難以抉擇的選項之間一定要通過文章的整體意思來作出判斷。
(5)按“文”索“圖”法
做選圖題時，可采用按“文”索“圖”法。即從文中找出描繪圖形的句段，按“文”索“圖”。
解題步驟：
做題小技巧：
1.若針對特殊標點符號，舉例子，名人名言出題，只需要閱讀符號，例子，名言前后的內容，然后與選項核對。
2.在出現一些關鍵詞，如however、but、moreover、therefore、 thus時，要特別注意句子前后意義的轉折，遞進，因果等關系。
3.細節題的答案一般是同義替換項或者同義轉換項　
4.選項中有絕對語氣詞的一般不是答案。如：must， never， the most， all， merely， only， have to， any， no， completely， none，等。但不是絕對，也有例外。
5.注意選項中的副詞，形容詞和介詞短語等與原文是否一致。如： must， may， often， should， usually， might， most， more or less， likely， all， never，few 等存在程度不同，經常被偷換，往往被忽視。
6.細節題干擾項特點：與原文內容相反；與原文內容一半相符，一半不同；敘述過于絕對化；原文沒有提及.

If you are looking for somewhere special to visit in London, we may have the answer for you: Sir John Soane’s Museum. The museum is one of London’s best-kept secrets, and it’s well worth a visit. Sir John, a great architect (建筑師), lived in London during the 18th century (1753—1837), and the amazing thing is that his house is exactly the same as he left it. In fact, visiting the house is just like stepping back in time.
There are three floors which are open to the public. You can start on the first floor. This was Sir John’s work area. You can ask the guards about the paintings on the walls as they tell you something about this family and life. And don’t worry about the guards as they are really nice and helpful. Next, you can go downstairs to the ground floor. Here you can see his rich collection of paintings. For example, there is a series (系列) of interesting paintings about 18th century life in London. Now comes the last part, the underground floor. It’s full of thousands of valuable objects, such as sculptures (雕塑) and models of famous buildings from all over the world. Walking around this part of the house is a bit like being on a treasure hunt, as you can find things hidden away in secret corners. Anyway, you’ll have to go there yourself to see.
Sir John Soane’s Museum is a very small place. It’s only about ten minutes’ walk from the British Museum. There is a free hour-long guided tour every Saturday at 2:30 pm, but the best thing is just to walk about by yourself. So now you know where to go next time you’re in London. We guarantee that it’s an experience you won’t forget!

Do you get in trouble for feeding your dog on food from dinner under the table A new study suggests that by sharing “people food”, you might actually be helping to keep your pet healthy.
Many dogs are fed dry processed food. Science has shown that a diet (飲食) of processed food is not healthy for humans. Scientists from the University of Helsinki, in Finland, say this diet is not good for our pet dogs, either.
The scientists discovered that the food a dog might find in an owner’s home such as eggs, fish, meat and vegetables may be better than a diet of just dog food. This is because having different kinds of food leads to more variety (多樣性) in microbes, which are little living things, too small to be seen with our eyes. There are millions of them in human and animal bodies. Some are bad for us, but many are good for us, and they play important roles in helping us digest (消化) food.
A total of 8,500 young pet dogs took part in the study. 4,500 of them were under 6 months old, and the rest were between 6 and 18 months old. The owners were asked about what food they had fed their pets and how often. When the dogs reached adulthood, their owners reported that about 20% of the dogs showed CE symptoms (慢性腸胃不適癥狀) such as weight loss. However, if dogs had been fed a mixed diet while young, it was 22% less possible for them to experience CE symptoms later in life.
Dr. Anna Hielm Bjorkman told The Times of London, “Dog food on sale is described as providing a complete diet. But what we show is that variety is important. Nobody would give 12 years of the same food to a child—why should a dog be different ”
27. According to the new study, dog owners ________.
A. must offer dry food to their dogs B. can feed dogs on “people food”
C. had better buy more processed food D. shouldn’t make food by themselves
【答案】27. B
【導語】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了一項研究發現，與僅喂食狗糧相比，給狗提供多樣化的“人類食物”可能有助于保持其健康，并減少成年后患慢性腸胃不適癥狀的風險。
27. B：細節理解題。文章提到 “A new study suggests that by sharing ‘people food’, you might actually be helping to keep your pet healthy.”，所以狗主人可以喂狗 “人吃的食物”，答案是 B。

Remember the delicious pizza that you created For most of us, it takes a long time to learn how to make something tasty, but not for Remmi Smith. Still a teenager, she’s already creating fantastic dishes. She’s also becoming well known for her Italian salad dressing, which is delicious. And with her knowledge of social media (媒體), she’s making sure that everyone knows she’s here!
Remmi, who was born in China, now lives in the USA. She is just 16. She has already starred in two shows on cooking and her book of healthy recipes has recently come out. From the age of four, Remmi helped in the kitchen by preparing vegetables. By the age of seven, Remmi was a real food lover who could cook complete meals for her family. Remmi began making videos for fun. Her mother videoed her while she was cooking and put the videos online. A local TV station broadcast (播放) them. They then asked Remmi to create another show for them.
That show is mainly about Remmi’s interest, which is getting teenagers to take healthy eating seriously. She believes that when young people make their own food, they care more about what they eat. Remmi works with a company in the USA which shows her videos in school dining halls. About 3.5 million students watch her every day!
Remmi believes that young people can create a healthy meal for their family which doesn’t cost a lot. Her delicious recipes include vegetable paella and strawberry kebabs. In fact, strawberries, which are Remmi’s favorite food, appear in other recipes, including strawberry sandwich!

Cyclocross is cross-country bicycle racing. Racers spend only part of a race on their bikes because only part of the two-mile race is smooth. Other parts of the race have the challenge of obstacles (障礙). When racers reach them, they can ride over them, or pick up their bikes and run.
To be a top racer, you must dismount without slowing down at all. To do this, swing your right leg over the bike seat. At the same time, move the bike away from your body. This makes room for your right foot to hit the ground next to your left foot. As your right foot nears the ground, take your left foot away from the bike. Put both feet on the ground and start running!
As soon as you are running, you have to decide what to do with your bike. You may shoulder it or lift it. It’s important to practice both skills. Sometimes you need to run fast and jump over some obstacles. As your feet hit the ground, you reach down and catch the bottom of your bike. Lift up carefully and keep the bike on your right shoulder while you run. Sometimes you may lift your bike. You catch the top of your bike. Then you lift the bike high enough to get over the obstacles and carefully put the bike on the ground.
After you have carried your bike across an obstacle, you will need to remount. As soon as your bike is on the ground, push off with your left leg, swing your right leg over the bike seat, and move into riding position. Remounting can be the hardest skill of cyclocross. You can learn by watching someone who remounts well.
Cyclocross is a great way to stay active and have fun. However, it can be dangerous. Make sure that you are well prepared. Then, you will just need to go!
8. What can we learn about cyclocross from the text
A. It’s a no-obstacle bike race. B. It’s a cross-city bike race.
C. It’s a challenging bike race. D. It’s a dangerous running race.
10. Why does a racer have to shoulder a bike in a race
A. To jump over obstacles. B. To take care of the bike.
C. To make room for others. D. To hit the ground harder.

We all enjoy being part of a group—there’s no better work than teamwork, right Actually, I disagree. Teamwork can be hard. In fact, it was so difficult that I left my office job and started working from home on my own. It’s a much better fit for me, and it has made me think about why teamwork can make our jobs harder rather than easier.
Personalities (個性) can make teamwork difficult. There’s often someone on the team that puts their needs first. The team often goes along with this person, whose ideas might not be the best, just the loudest. Just one difficult personality can make teamwork bine (結合) several challenging personality types, and it’s even harder.
Not having enough time together can also make teamwork challenging. For example, I was once on a team where we never had enough time to meet as a group. To successfully work as a team, you need time together—and lots of it.
A final reason teamwork is difficult is because there’s often no training on how to work on a team. You can’t just put people in a room and expect them to work well with each other. You need to build trust with your team members. Think of football players: They aren’t just given a ball and told to play. They practice, and they train.
Team can be hard, but working alone has its challenges, too. When my computer doesn’t work, I don’t have an IT person to turn to. When I have a great idea, I don’t have anyone to share it with to see if it really is a great idea. Don’t get me wrong—I still like my team of one and enjoy making all of the important decisions myself. But now I realize what was wrong with the teamwork I did in the past and how good teamwork could be if done correctly. And that’s useful information—because one day I might want to turn my ME TEAM into a WE TEAM.
12. Why did the writer choose to work from home on his own
A. To keep himself busier. B. To keep himself healthier.
C. To make his job easier. D. To make his team harder.
13. Which of the following makes teamwork difficult
A. Strong personality. B. Lots of teamwork time.
C. Challenging ideas. D. Clear team roles.
14. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. WE TEAM has hardly any advantages.
B. ME TEAM needs a lot of IT engineers.
C. ME TEAM has no challenges for the writer.
D. WE TEAM may be the writer’s choice one day.
15. What is the purpose of the text
A. To show the advantages of teamwork. B. To tell the importance of teamwork.
C. To introduce the influence of teamwork. D. To explain the difficulties of teamwork.

A blog by Sascha Marr, aged 14
My hobby is making shoes. I’ve always liked designing things. I remember drawing clothes and shoes when I was eight, and I made my first skirt aged nine. At eleven, I started making shoes, and I now spend my free time doing that.
I became interested in making shoes when my cousin told me about an online shoe-making course that he was doing. I immediately wanted to do one too. Mum booked(為……預約) me on a four-day course at the I Can Make Shoes school in London to see if I liked it, and then I did a ten-day course there in the summer holidays.
I loved the courses. On the longer one, I made four pairs of shoes! I couldn’t believe it. The teachers were excellent. That’s what was best about the classes. They made us work really hard but they wanted all their students to have fun, too.
I’ve made about 15 parts of shoes now. At the moment I’m making a pair of training shoes using an old pair of jeans, but I’ve used all kinds of different things before, from old leather(皮革) handbags to old cotton dresses!
Making shoes has changed my plans for the future. I know now that I want to be a designer, but not a shoe designer. I’ve decided I’ll do home design. I’ve designed lots of shoes and also some clothes, so I’d like to try something new.
16. What did Sascha begin to make at the age of 11 _______
A. Skirts B. Shoes C. Jeans D. Dresses
17. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to？_______
A. The courses B. The teachers C. The classes D. The students
18.What does Sascha plan to be in the future _______
A. A shoe designer B. A handbag designer C. A dress designer D. A home designer
B
What did people do to communicate in ancient times Here are some very interesting answers to this question.
Alphorns(阿爾卑斯長號角) were once used to communicate in the mountains in Switzerland. They are very long and they are very heavy, too. So, alphorns are hard work to blow. Then why use them Well, they make a loud sound which travels much further than the human voice. Herdsmen(牧民) used them to call cows in the distance for milking. At sunset, alphorns were also used to send a message down to villagers that all was well. These days, they’re mostly used as musical instruments.
The people of La Gomera, an island in Europe, have their own special way of sending messages from mountain to mountain. They use a whistled(口哨的) language called el silbo, which comes from their language Spanish. Whistling can be heard within five kilometers, which means it can be used across much greater distances than shouting. El silbo can be used for all kinds of messages, including greetings and announcements. El silbo is used a lot less than it used to be, but primary school students in La Gomera have to leave it.
Did you know it’s also possible to send messages without making a noise This is called visual communication, and it includes the use of flags and even smoke. Long ago, soldiers along the Great Wall of China used smoke as a warning. If they noticed the enemy from their signal(信號) tower, they lit a smoky fire. When soldiers in other towers saw the smoke signal, they lit fires too. In this way, messages about the enemy’s arrival could travel as far as 800 km in just a few hours.
19.What are alphorns mostly used for today _______
A. Communicating in the mountains B. Calling cows for milking.
C. Sending messages down to villages. D. Playing a kind of music.
20.Why do the people of La Gomera use el silbo to communicate _______
A. Because it can send messages to animals.
B. Because it is different from their language.
C. Because it can be heard at a great distance.
D. Because it is a subject for young students.
21.How did soldiers along the Great Wall get warning messages between towers _______
A. By listening. B. By whistling. C. By shouting. D. By watching.
C
Can anyone be an astronaut
Of course not. You don’t have to have a science degree but most astronauts do. Most of them are pilots too. Life in a spaceship is hard so you must have a healthy body and mind. You need to be easy-going, patient, and helpful to spend so much time in a small space with other people.
What’s the training like
People have to train for a year to learn how to stay healthy and safe. They practice space walking and living in zero gravity(重力). They train in difficult conditions to learn how to solve problems and to work in a team. Everyday tasks like eating, washing and sleeping can be difficult on a spaceship. There is no running water so you have to wash with wet tissues: it’s hard to enjoy the dry food that astronauts have to eat. And to sleep you must cover your eyes because the sun rises every 90 minutes on the International Space Station. You also have to tie yourself to something so you don’t fly away!
What health problems do astronauts have
Life in zero gravity causes changes to our bodies. Bones and muscles(肌肉) become thin and weak so you must do a lot of exercise in space to stay fit and to help the heart move blood around your body. Astronauts often get backache because you grow in space— up to 8 centimeters! It’s also common to have headaches and to feel sick, especially at the beginning. You must have vitamins to take the place of fresh fruit and vegetables. But you don’t have to put on sun cream because space suits protect your skin (皮膚).
Are you still interested
23.What is a must for an astronaut _______
A. A science degree. B. A pilot’s license.
C. A healthy body and mind. D. A weak character.
24. What must you do to prepare for a space trip _______
A. Experience zero gravity. B. Wash with running water.
C. Practice long walks. D. Sleep with your eyes open.
25.Why do astronauts have to exercise in space _______
A. To make their bones and muscles thinner. B. To help the heart work well and keep fit.
C. To avoid backache and grow much taller. D. To stop their skins from getting sunburned.
D
There are many different ways to solve a problem. One way is to be creative. People often think creative thinking is just for artists and designers, but this is not true. Dr. Edward de Bono, an expert in creative thinking and problem solving, has shown the world that using creativity to solve problems is very useful in business and in our communities, and will continue to be so in the future.
One example of creative thinking is the solution to a parking problem in a town center. In the areas close to stores, people can only park for 20 minutes. There are parking meters where people pay to park in these areas. However, the problem is that many people leave their cars there for longer than 20 minutes. Dr. Edward de Bono’s solution is to make a rule that all cars parked in these areas must keep their headlights on. Of course, drivers will want to return to their cars before their car batteries (蓄電池) die.
According to Dr. de Bono, people will need to use creative thinking more often in the future. To help people think more creatively, he designed the “Six Thinking Hats” system(系統). The system helps people think about a problem in different ways in order to find a solution. In the system, there are six imaginary hats of different colors. Each hat symbolizes a different way of thinking. For example, the white hat helps people consider the facts. The black hat is the most logical(有邏輯的) and helps people consider why a possible solution may not work. So, next time you have a problem in your community, think about it creatively, from different perspectives, and see what ideas you have.
30.Which of the following is true about the “Six Thinking Hats” system
A. The system is used to help people think quickly.
B. The white hat helps people think about the facts.
C. The black hat has to do with people’s feelings.
D. Six hats of different shapes can be very helpful.

My name is Ryan and last summer my family and I went to an island for our summer vacation. There were so many fun and interesting things to do on the island，but my favorite was fishing. Every day，my mom，my dad，my younger brother Derek and I went to the beach. We took our little fishing boat with us. Mom didn't like fishing，so she stayed on the beach and read a book.

"There you go，little turtle；now you can swim to your family， "Dad said as he cut the plastic off. Then Derek and I put it back in the water. "I know! We should make a sign about not throwing rubbish into the sea，and put it in the sand on the beach， "I said. "I'll help，too， "said Derek. "Great idea，boys.

Have you ever thought how important T﹣shirts are in your life？I don't mean expensive designer T﹣shirts，After all，just because you spend a lot of money on a shirt doesn't mean that it looks good. I'm talking about the T﹣shirts that say something about you，like where you've been，what you like，or what you think. Those are often the T﹣shirts that we feel the most comfortable in and that we wear again and again. I'm going to tell you about two T﹣shirts that I really，really love and explain why. I've been to London twice. The first time I went I saw this shirt in a souvenir（紀念品）shop and my dad bought it for me. I really loved the design and the colors. And it reminds me of something funny that happened. One day we were travelling around the center of London. We almost got lost，but we found our way — thanks to the picture on this T﹣shirt! Sometimes I've bought clothes that I've never worn or that I've only worn once or twice. But I've worn（and washed o）this T﹣shirt hundreds of times. I love music and I love Adele. I haven't seen many of my favorite artists live，but I bought this when I went to Adele's concert two years ago. It was a great concert and this is a great souvenir. And white T﹣ shirts go with anything，not just jeans! So，those are just two of my favorite T﹣shirts that tell a story. What about yours？
posted 16th April at 16：57 post a comment
I've never been to China and I don't know any Chinese，but one of my favorite T﹣shirts has the Chinese characters on it.

Flamenco is very popular in southern Spain. It begins with guitar music and clapping（擊掌）and then dancers join the performance. Sometimes a woman dances alone and sometimes she dances with a man. The woman always wears a long，colorful dress. She moves her arms and hands slowly but her feet move in fast difficult steps. The man often wears black. Both dancers click their shoes on the floor when they dance around each other.
Cossack dances are from Russia and Ukraine. They are very energetic — some are more like gymnastics than dancing! Dancers have to be very fit because they jump very high and kick their legs up and down. They often jump over swords（劍）. The movements are similar to traditional Cossack activities，for example，sword fighting and getting on and off horses.
Limbo dancing is first from West Africa but today it is an important part of celebrations in the Caribbean. Young people have to dance under a pole（桿）. The pole is often on fire and the dancer mustn't touch it! After a successful "limbo"，they put the pole lower and do it again. Some dancers can dance under a pole just twenty centimeters off the ground!
Mask（面具）dances are important for the Dogon people in Mali. Each village makes different masks. They are often huge and colorful. There are masks of people，monsters or local animals like crocodiles and monkeys. Mask dancers are always men and they dance to the sound of drums for hours after the death of a person in the village. Today，Dogon villagers also perform the dances for tourists.
8. What do we know about flamenco dancing？ 　 　
A. Dancers begin performing before the guitar music starts.
B. A woman dancer often wears a long black dress.
C. A woman dancer moves her hands and feet at different speeds.

When do children start to talk？If you ask a group of parents when this happened，most will say" around twelve months of age". They will probably even remember what the children said. Many parents keep a diary of their child's "first words"
We can never predict what a first word is going to be. Often it's the name for" mummy " or "daddy"，but it could just as easily be the word for an animal or a favorite toy. Everything depends on what has most caught the child's attention. But one thing is certain：after the first word，others come quickly. By 18 months，most children have learned about 50 words. By two，the total has risen to around 200.
Early words are actually one﹣word sentences. One of the first features（特征）of language a child learns well is to control the rise and fall of the voice to make the difference between stating and questioning. In English，daddy with a high rising tone（聲調）means "is that daddy？" Daddy with a high falling tone means "There's daddy". Of course，only very basic meanings can be communicated using tones alone. So it soon becomes necessary to learn some grammar.
In English，grammar means learning to put words in different orders. Children have to see that mummy push is different from push mummy. They start practising such changes at around 18 months. By two，they have learned the basic patterns of word order，and we hear them saying such things as man kick ball and where daddy go.
What are the parents doing all his time？They're acting as teachers and they always have an active role to play in their child's language learning.
12. How old are most children when they have learned about 50 words？ 　 　
A. About 6 months old. B. About one year old.
C. About 18 months old. D. About two years]old.
13.Which might an English child say first when learning to talk？ 　 　
A. Mummy. B. Push mummy. C. Man kick ball. D. Where daddy go.
15. Who is most responsible for a child's early language learning？ 　 　
A. Teachers. B. Parents. C. Friends. D. Grandparents.

Do you believe in green living Read the following blog (博客)and replies about a fun, easy and creative way to make your lifestyle greener.
Posted by Gina at 8:32 a. m. on 11th February 2018 What do you think of the "new" hat I made for my sister It used to be my mum's sweater.
New uses for old clothing Nowadays, we're more wasteful than ever-buying, using and throwing things away without thinking about the costs. We need to start living more responsibly- but how One answer is to upcycle (再生利用) . If you're like me, you might already make soil for gardening from food waste and use empty paper boxes as storage space. Did you know you can apply (應用) the same way to old clothing You just need imagination! I started upcycling clothing. Making new things out of old clothes is the best way to mix my talent and my interest. Do you upcycle If so, what new things have you made If not, why not give it a try
Terry BPosted at 9:08 a. m. on 11th February 2018 Why don't you give your old clothes to people in need I even give away the most expensive things I don't wear anymore. So I can help the environment while giving something useful to people in need. GinaPosted at 9:28 a. m. on 11th February 2018 early Good point! I'm talking about only the oldest clothing in your room — the clothes that are too old to be worn by others. The same idea goes for food waste at restaurants and supermarkets. Before upcycling food that can still be eaten, for example, using it to make soil, we should give it to those in need.
Betty99Posted at 10:18 a. m. on 11th February 2018 I've made shopping bags out of T-shirts and dog toys out of socks. Upcycling clothing is a fun hobby, but the most important thing is that it makes me feel like I'm living less wastefully.
（1）What is special about the hat
A．It came from an old sweater. B．It was given by Gina's mum.

Traffic
lights are red, yellow and green. They are very important signals (信號). Traffic lights
are usually placed at busy street corners to help control traffic. Sometimes,
they are on streets near schools and shops, too. Most young children are taught
what each of the colored lights means, so everybody can stay safe.
The
first traffic signals were used for trains. The signals were put alongside
railway tracks (軌道). The color red was used to mean "stop" because it warned
people of danger. A red light was also the easiest color to see from a
distance. Train drivers could see the red "stop" light ahead and had
enough time to slow down and stop their trains. A green light was used to mean "take
care" and a white light meant "go".
However,
there were many dangerous accidents on the train tracks. Some train drivers
thought a star shining in the night sky was a white light that meant "go"".
So the signals were swapped. The "go" light was changed to
green and the "take care" light was changed to white.
During
these times, people travelled by train or in carts pulled by horses. Years
later, when cars were built, people began to drive them because they could
travel much faster than horses. However, the road rules for drivers were not
very clear and many people were hurt crossing the roads. Yellow warning signs
had to be placed beside the roads to remind drivers to take care and allow
people to cross safely.
Today,
towns and cities all over the world have traffic lights. Red and green lights
match the signals used on the railways. Yellow lights are easy to see, so they
are used to warn drivers that they should slow down and prepare to stop.
（1）Why was the color red used to mean "stop"
A．It reminded people of traffic rules.
B．It helped trains run smoothly.
C．It gave people a warning of danger.
D．It was the first color people thought of.
（3）In which order did the "take care" light develop
a. A white light b. A green light. c. A yellow light.
A．a一b一c B．b一c一a C．a一c一b D．b一a一c

A lot
of animals travel from one place to another. We call this migration.
In
Africa, large animals, like elephants and zebras, migrate to find food and
water. They usually follow the same ways every year.
A lot
of birds migrate to find food and better weather, too. They are usually birds
that eat insects. They spend the summer in northern Europe, because there are
lots of insects there. In the winter there aren't any insects, so the birds fly
south to southern Europe and Africa.
Some
insects migrate, too. In North America, millions of monarch butterflies fly
south to spend the winter in Mexico, California and Florida, where it's warmer.
They travel 50-65 km each day and they travel about 1, 125 km.
Some
fish migrate to breed (繁殖). Salmon (鮭魚) can swim over 20, 000 km in
their life. They are born in rivers in Ireland, Scotland and other places in
northern Europe. The young fish swim down the river to the sea and into the
Atlantic Ocean. They live in the ocean until they are adults. Then they return
to the river where they were born. They lay their eggs in the river and then
they usually die. Salmon do this, because their eggs are safer in the river.
Other fish can't eat them.
Arctic
terns (北極燕鷗) travel the furthest when they migrate. They spend the summer in
the Arctic, but when winter comes they fly to the Antarctic, because it's
summer there. The next year they fly back to the Arctic again. In one year
these small birds travel 36, 000km from one end of the earth to the other and
back again. Nobody knows how they do it.
（1）According to the passage, monarch butterflies in North America migrate to________.
A．find insects B．look for water
C．find better weather D．produce young
（2）Adult salmon swim back to the river because ___________.
A．they won't be eaten by other big fish
B．they want to lay eggs in a safer place
C．they are getting ready to die there
D．they want to go where they grew up
（3）Which of the following is true about animals' migration
A．Elephants in Africa usually travel the same way each year.
B．Most birds fly to southern Europe and Africa in summer.
C．Some insects travel 1, 125 km each day.
D．Salmon swim 20, 000 km each year.

How
would you feel if someone decided to take away your park Well that's what's
happening in my community. There's a park that some people want to turn into a
golf course (高爾夫球場). Let me tell you why I think it's a bad idea.
First,
a park is meant to be for the whole community. Not everyone likes golf, so not
everyone will get to use the park. This isn't fair. A community park should
have open spaces for everyone to use.
Second,
to make way for the golf course, lots of playground equipment (設施) will have to be
moved or knocked down, which is a waste of time and money. It's also a waste of
perfectly good equipment. The swings, for example, will probably just end up as
litter.
Third,
what about giving young people something to do Not all kids are crazy about
golf. At the moment, the park has a skating place and a playground. These
attract lots of kids from the community. If you turn the park into a golf
course, these kids won't have anywhere to go and they won't have anything to
do.
This
means that they will stay at home and turn on a video game rather than get some
exercise. It also means that they might be out on the street causing trouble.
Wouldn't it be better to give them something to do at the park
Finally,
golf is expensive. Building a golf course and maintaining (維護)it costs a lot of
money. Who is going to pay to maintain the golf course What about those people
who can't afford to join a golf club That means that the golf course will only
be available to people with lots of money.
Turning
our park into a golf course is a bad idea. I suggest we have a community
meeting before plans go any further.
（1）Some people want to change the park into ______________.
A．a golf club B．a golf course
C．a park D．a skating place
（2）According to Paragraph 4, having nowhere to go will make some children
A．go to get some exercise B．fall in love with golf
C．play video games at home D．go to the street and make friends

This painting is called The Fighting Temeraire. Temeraire is the name of the big, old sailing ship that you can see on the left of the picture. People chose this picture to be the greatest painting in Britain.
J.M.W. Turner painted it in 1839.It shows the old sailing ship, the Temeraire, on the River Thames near London. There's a small tugboat pulling the old ship. It's in fact taking the Temeraire on its last journey. The old ship is going to the breaker's yard. In the background we can see the sun setting.
The picture, however, is more than just a painting of two boats in the evening. The artist wanted to show the end of an era (時代). The time of the beautiful, old sailing ships is coming to an end. That's why we see this happening at sunset. In the little, brown tugboat we can see the new industrial era starting. The tugboat is small and dark and it's making a lot of smoke, but it's very strong, because it's pulling the much bigger ship.
The painting shows a real event. Turner watched the Temeraire taking its last journey up the Thames, but he changed some of the details. He painted the old ship white and gold so that it looks like a ghost. In fact, the realship was black and yellow. We also see the sun setting behind the ship, but in fact, the ship travelled towards the sunset. However, Turner wanted to show the sun setting on the time of the beautiful old sailing ships.
Turner painted The Fighting Temeraire when he was quite old, so perhaps he wanted to show the sun setting on his own life, too. He loved the painting and he never sold it. You can see it today in the National Gallery in London.
19.The Fighting Temeraire ________.
A. is the name of a big sailing ship B. was thought the best painting in Britain
C. shows two nice new ships D. was painted by a famous young artist
20.The old ship was pulled to the yard ________.

C. The painter's own life. D. The white and gold ghost.
22.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A. The color of the real sailing ship was white and gold.
B. In the painting the sailing ship was going towards the sunset.
C. Finally Turner sold this painting because he didn't like it.
D. Today the painting is kept in the National Gallery in London.

Smile Train is a charity (慈善團體) that helps the millions of children around the world, who suffer from a facial defect (缺陷). The defect happens when a baby's top lip or mouth doesn't form properly before birth. Eating and drinking is very difficult for these babies. The charity provides free operations, which give these children a new smile, and with it, new hope and a new beginning.
Children with the defect need all the help. Although many sufferers are accepted by their families, sadly, others are not. In some countries, children with this defect are often abandoned at birth because their parents feel ashamed of them or cannot afford the operations. The good news is that the operation is not difficult. It takes less than an hour and costs the family nothing. The charity raises money and finds the right medical volunteers to perform the operations.
A Smile Train doctor from the UK said, "Each child who has the operation is given a second chance at life. After years of staying at home, the children can finally go to school and be happy. Every year I perform hundredsof operations free of cost through Smile Train. Some of the stories I have heard are quite surprising. One newborn baby girl was found abandoned on a train. Luckily for her, she was found and adopted (收養) by a passenger. This lady then heard about Smile Train and brought the baby to our hospital. I did the operation and gave hope to the family. Experienced doctors like me share our skills with local doctors. In this way we make sure that these operations will always be available."
23.Smile Train is a charity which ________.
A. provides food and medical care for poor children
B. raises money for all the doctors working in the UK
C. offers free medical help to children with the facial defect
D. gives children without parents new hope and a new beginning
25.What did the doctor from the UK think of his volunteer work
A. Dangerous B. Surprising C. Relaxing D. Valuable
D

一、類別：1、直接信息題：數據處理題、同義轉換題
2、間接信息題：是非題、排序題
二、解題方法：尋讀法
三、解題步驟：1.閱讀題干，抓關鍵詞
2.定位原文
3.分析選項
常見的題干有：
Which of the following is TRUE/NOT true
Which of the following is mentioned/NOT mentioned in the passage
Which of the following is the right order according to the text
Which of the following best describes...
Which of the following shows/gives the right relationship/position of...
When/Where/Why/Who/What/How...
所謂“事實細節”，是指在閱讀理解的短文中客觀存在的事實。細節理解題的答案一般都可以在原文中找到。一般來說，應在短文中找出相關信息的位置，確定試題測試的考點。當然，有的試題還得對原文所提供的事實進行一定的分析比較，才能做出正確的選擇。
(1)查讀法(scanning)
查讀是在讀者對材料有所了解的情況下進行的。查讀的特點是帶著問題尋找答案。
①用略讀的方法通讀閱讀材料，對原文有一個大概的了解，掌握其主旨。
②按文章的體裁，如按記敘文、說明文和議論文等及作者寫作的組織模式及有關的信息詞，如for example，first，second等預測應該到何處尋找自己所需要的事實。
③把主要精力放在尋找你所需要的細節上。快速通篇跳讀，眼睛自左至右，自上而下呈Z形掃視，直至找到你所需要的部分。待找到你所需要的部分時，可放慢速度，細讀要查找的內容。
(2)原文定位法
根據題干中的關鍵詞，找準相關句、段的內容，再仔細對照，不符合原文意義的選項要首先排除，反之，則是正確選項。
①是非判斷題。這類題的選項有兩種形式:四項中有三對一錯或三錯一對。四項內容通常是對同一問題進行判斷或對不同問題進行判斷。不管什么形式、什么內容，通常都用原文定位法，把選項內容與原文內容進行對比分析，判斷是否符合相關句的意義或在原文中提到過，然后進行排除解答。
②關于對年代和數字的考查通常分兩類:直接考查和計算考查。對前者，根據文中信息能很容易地確定答案;對后者，首先要弄清題干問的是什么，然后找到與它相關的年代和數字，對它們進一步分析、整合，最后，結合題干計算出正確答案。
③對于最后一種常見題型，有兩種考查形式:考查直接信息和對直接信息的理解。對直接信息的考查只需找到原文信息就能解決問題。后者則需對原文相關信息做正確理解，這個理解可能牽扯到對某一句話或某些句子的理解，考生在理解其意義時，一定要捕捉到關鍵性的詞。對這類題要認真、周全地考慮方能選取正確答案。這種題的正確選項往往是原文意義的不同表現形式。
(3)首尾定位法
做排序題可采用“首尾定位法”。即先找出最先發生的事和最后發生的事，迅速縮小選擇范圍，從而快速選出正確答案。
(4)排除法
利用排除法時，考生要注意的是有時在兩個難以抉擇的選項之間一定要通過文章的整體意思來作出判斷。
(5)按“文”索“圖”法
做選圖題時，可采用按“文”索“圖”法。即從文中找出描繪圖形的句段，按“文”索“圖”。
解題步驟：
做題小技巧：
1.若針對特殊標點符號，舉例子，名人名言出題，只需要閱讀符號，例子，名言前后的內容，然后與選項核對。
2.在出現一些關鍵詞，如however、but、moreover、therefore、 thus時，要特別注意句子前后意義的轉折，遞進，因果等關系。
3.細節題的答案一般是同義替換項或者同義轉換項　
4.選項中有絕對語氣詞的一般不是答案。如：must， never， the most， all， merely， only， have to， any， no， completely， none，等。但不是絕對，也有例外。
5.注意選項中的副詞，形容詞和介詞短語等與原文是否一致。如： must， may， often， should， usually， might， most， more or less， likely， all， never，few 等存在程度不同，經常被偷換，往往被忽視。
6.細節題干擾項特點：與原文內容相反；與原文內容一半相符，一半不同；敘述過于絕對化；原文沒有提及.

If you are looking for somewhere special to visit in London, we may have the answer for you: Sir John Soane’s Museum. The museum is one of London’s best-kept secrets, and it’s well worth a visit. Sir John, a great architect (建筑師), lived in London during the 18th century (1753—1837), and the amazing thing is that his house is exactly the same as he left it. In fact, visiting the house is just like stepping back in time.
There are three floors which are open to the public. You can start on the first floor. This was Sir John’s work area. You can ask the guards about the paintings on the walls as they tell you something about this family and life. And don’t worry about the guards as they are really nice and helpful. Next, you can go downstairs to the ground floor. Here you can see his rich collection of paintings. For example, there is a series (系列) of interesting paintings about 18th century life in London. Now comes the last part, the underground floor. It’s full of thousands of valuable objects, such as sculptures (雕塑) and models of famous buildings from all over the world. Walking around this part of the house is a bit like being on a treasure hunt, as you can find things hidden away in secret corners. Anyway, you’ll have to go there yourself to see.
Sir John Soane’s Museum is a very small place. It’s only about ten minutes’ walk from the British Museum. There is a free hour-long guided tour every Saturday at 2:30 pm, but the best thing is just to walk about by yourself. So now you know where to go next time you’re in London.

Do you get in trouble for feeding your dog on food from dinner under the table A new study suggests that by sharing “people food”, you might actually be helping to keep your pet healthy.
Many dogs are fed dry processed food. Science has shown that a diet (飲食) of processed food is not healthy for humans. Scientists from the University of Helsinki, in Finland, say this diet is not good for our pet dogs, either.
The scientists discovered that the food a dog might find in an owner’s home such as eggs, fish, meat and vegetables may be better than a diet of just dog food. This is because having different kinds of food leads to more variety (多樣性) in microbes, which are little living things, too small to be seen with our eyes. There are millions of them in human and animal bodies. Some are bad for us, but many are good for us, and they play important roles in helping us digest (消化) food.
A total of 8,500 young pet dogs took part in the study. 4,500 of them were under 6 months old, and the rest were between 6 and 18 months old. The owners were asked about what food they had fed their pets and how often. When the dogs reached adulthood, their owners reported that about 20% of the dogs showed CE symptoms (慢性腸胃不適癥狀) such as weight loss. However, if dogs had been fed a mixed diet while young, it was 22% less possible for them to experience CE symptoms later in life.
Dr. Anna Hielm Bjorkman told The Times of London, “Dog food on sale is described as providing a complete diet. But what we show is that variety is important. Nobody would give 12 years of the same food to a child—why should a dog be different ”
27. According to the new study, dog owners ________.
A. must offer dry food to their dogs B. can feed dogs on “people food”
C. had better buy more processed food D. shouldn’t make food by themselves

I like going to stores, but how do you know if a store has what you want The great thing about shopping online is saving time! There are so many choices, and it doesn’t take much time to find what you want! (Jake, Sydney, Australia)

Remember the delicious pizza that you created For most of us, it takes a long time to learn how to make something tasty, but not for Remmi Smith. Still a teenager, she’s already creating fantastic dishes. She’s also becoming well known for her Italian salad dressing, which is delicious. And with her knowledge of social media (媒體), she’s making sure that everyone knows she’s here!
Remmi, who was born in China, now lives in the USA. She is just 16. She has already starred in two shows on cooking and her book of healthy recipes has recently come out. From the age of four, Remmi helped in the kitchen by preparing vegetables. By the age of seven, Remmi was a real food lover who could cook complete meals for her family. Remmi began making videos for fun. Her mother videoed her while she was cooking and put the videos online. A local TV station broadcast (播放) them. They then asked Remmi to create another show for them.
That show is mainly about Remmi’s interest, which is getting teenagers to take healthy eating seriously. She believes that when young people make their own food, they care more about what they eat. Remmi works with a company in the USA which shows her videos in school dining halls. About 3.5 million students watch her every day!
Remmi believes that young people can create a healthy meal for their family which doesn’t cost a lot. Her delicious recipes include vegetable paella and strawberry kebabs. In fact, strawberries, which are Remmi’s favorite food, appear in other recipes, including strawberry sandwich!

Cyclocross is cross-country bicycle racing. Racers spend only part of a race on their bikes because only part of the two-mile race is smooth. Other parts of the race have the challenge of obstacles (障礙). When racers reach them, they can ride over them, or pick up their bikes and run.
To be a top racer, you must dismount without slowing down at all. To do this, swing your right leg over the bike seat. At the same time, move the bike away from your body. This makes room for your right foot to hit the ground next to your left foot. As your right foot nears the ground, take your left foot away from the bike. Put both feet on the ground and start running!
As soon as you are running, you have to decide what to do with your bike. You may shoulder it or lift it. It’s important to practice both skills. Sometimes you need to run fast and jump over some obstacles. As your feet hit the ground, you reach down and catch the bottom of your bike. Lift up carefully and keep the bike on your right shoulder while you run. Sometimes you may lift your bike. You catch the top of your bike. Then you lift the bike high enough to get over the obstacles and carefully put the bike on the ground.
After you have carried your bike across an obstacle, you will need to remount. As soon as your bike is on the ground, push off with your left leg, swing your right leg over the bike seat, and move into riding position. Remounting can be the hardest skill of cyclocross. You can learn by watching someone who remounts well.
Cyclocross is a great way to stay active and have fun. However, it can be dangerous. Make sure that you are well prepared. Then, you will just need to go!
8. What can we learn about cyclocross from the text
A. It’s a no-obstacle bike race. B. It’s a cross-city bike race.
C. It’s a challenging bike race. D. It’s a dangerous running race.
10. Why does a racer have to shoulder a bike in a race
A. To jump over obstacles. B. To take care of the bike.

We all enjoy being part of a group—there’s no better work than teamwork, right Actually, I disagree. Teamwork can be hard. In fact, it was so difficult that I left my office job and started working from home on my own. It’s a much better fit for me, and it has made me think about why teamwork can make our jobs harder rather than easier.
Personalities (個性) can make teamwork difficult. There’s often someone on the team that puts their needs first. The team often goes along with this person, whose ideas might not be the best, just the loudest. Just one difficult personality can make teamwork bine (結合) several challenging personality types, and it’s even harder.
Not having enough time together can also make teamwork challenging. For example, I was once on a team where we never had enough time to meet as a group. To successfully work as a team, you need time together—and lots of it.
A final reason teamwork is difficult is because there’s often no training on how to work on a team. You can’t just put people in a room and expect them to work well with each other. You need to build trust with your team members. Think of football players: They aren’t just given a ball and told to play. They practice, and they train.
Team can be hard, but working alone has its challenges, too. When my computer doesn’t work, I don’t have an IT person to turn to. When I have a great idea, I don’t have anyone to share it with to see if it really is a great idea. Don’t get me wrong—I still like my team of one and enjoy making all of the important decisions myself. But now I realize what was wrong with the teamwork I did in the past and how good teamwork could be if done correctly. And that’s useful information—because one day I might want to turn my ME TEAM into a WE TEAM.
12. Why did the writer choose to work from home on his own
A. To keep himself busier. B. To keep himself healthier.
C. To make his job easier. D. To make his team harder.
13. Which of the following makes teamwork difficult
A. Strong personality. B. Lots of teamwork time.

A. WE TEAM has hardly any advantages.
B. ME TEAM needs a lot of IT engineers.
C. ME TEAM has no challenges for the writer.

A blog by Sascha Marr, aged 14
My hobby is making shoes. I’ve always liked designing things. I remember drawing clothes and shoes when I was eight, and I made my first skirt aged nine. At eleven, I started making shoes, and I now spend my free time doing that.
I became interested in making shoes when my cousin told me about an online shoe-making course that he was doing. I immediately wanted to do one too. Mum booked(為……預約) me on a four-day course at the I Can Make Shoes school in London to see if I liked it, and then I did a ten-day course there in the summer holidays.
I loved the courses. On the longer one, I made four pairs of shoes! I couldn’t believe it. The teachers were excellent. That’s what was best about the classes. They made us work really hard but they wanted all their students to have fun, too.
I’ve made about 15 parts of shoes now. At the moment I’m making a pair of training shoes using an old pair of jeans, but I’ve used all kinds of different things before, from old leather(皮革) handbags to old cotton dresses!
Making shoes has changed my plans for the future. I know now that I want to be a designer, but not a shoe designer. I’ve decided I’ll do home design. I’ve designed lots of shoes and also some clothes, so I’d like to try something new.

What did people do to communicate in ancient times Here are some very interesting answers to this question.
Alphorns(阿爾卑斯長號角) were once used to communicate in the mountains in Switzerland. They are very long and they are very heavy, too. So, alphorns are hard work to blow. Then why use them Well, they make a loud sound which travels much further than the human voice. Herdsmen(牧民) used them to call cows in the distance for milking. At sunset, alphorns were also used to send a message down to villagers that all was well. These days, they’re mostly used as musical instruments.
The people of La Gomera, an island in Europe, have their own special way of sending messages from mountain to mountain. They use a whistled(口哨的) language called el silbo, which comes from their language Spanish. Whistling can be heard within five kilometers, which means it can be used across much greater distances than shouting. El silbo can be used for all kinds of messages, including greetings and announcements. El silbo is used a lot less than it used to be, but primary school students in La Gomera have to leave it.
Did you know it’s also possible to send messages without making a noise This is called visual communication, and it includes the use of flags and even smoke. Long ago, soldiers along the Great Wall of China used smoke as a warning. If they noticed the enemy from their signal(信號) tower, they lit a smoky fire. When soldiers in other towers saw the smoke signal, they lit fires too. In this way, messages about the enemy’s arrival could travel as far as 800 km in just a few hours.
19.What are alphorns mostly used for today _______
A. Communicating in the mountains B. Calling cows for milking.
C. Sending messages down to villages. D. Playing a kind of music.
20.Why do the people of La Gomera use el silbo to communicate _______
A. Because it can send messages to animals.
B. Because it is different from their language.
C. Because it can be heard at a great distance.
D. Because it is a subject for young students.
21.How did soldiers along the Great Wall get warning messages between towers _______
A. By listening. B. By whistling. C. By shouting. D. By watching.
C
Can anyone be an astronaut
Of course not. You don’t have to have a science degree but most astronauts do. Most of them are pilots too. Life in a spaceship is hard so you must have a healthy body and mind. You need to be easy-going, patient, and helpful to spend so much time in a small space with other people.
What’s the training like
People have to train for a year to learn how to stay healthy and safe. They practice space walking and living in zero gravity(重力). They train in difficult conditions to learn how to solve problems and to work in a team. Everyday tasks like eating, washing and sleeping can be difficult on a spaceship. There is no running water so you have to wash with wet tissues: it’s hard to enjoy the dry food that astronauts have to eat. And to sleep you must cover your eyes because the sun rises every 90 minutes on the International Space Station. You also have to tie yourself to something so you don’t fly away!
What health problems do astronauts have
Life in zero gravity causes changes to our bodies. Bones and muscles(肌肉) become thin and weak so you must do a lot of exercise in space to stay fit and to help the heart move blood around your body. Astronauts often get backache because you grow in space— up to 8 centimeters! It’s also common to have headaches and to feel sick, especially at the beginning. You must have vitamins to take the place of fresh fruit and vegetables. But you don’t have to put on sun cream because space suits protect your skin (皮膚).
Are you still interested
23.What is a must for an astronaut _______
A. A science degree. B. A pilot’s license.
C. A healthy body and mind. D. A weak character.
24. What must you do to prepare for a space trip _______
A. Experience zero gravity. B. Wash with running water.
C. Practice long walks. D. Sleep with your eyes open.
25.Why do astronauts have to exercise in space _______
A. To make their bones and muscles thinner. B. To help the heart work well and keep fit.
C. To avoid backache and grow much taller. D. To stop their skins from getting sunburned.
D
There are many different ways to solve a problem. One way is to be creative. People often think creative thinking is just for artists and designers, but this is not true. Dr. Edward de Bono, an expert in creative thinking and problem solving, has shown the world that using creativity to solve problems is very useful in business and in our communities, and will continue to be so in the future.
One example of creative thinking is the solution to a parking problem in a town center. In the areas close to stores, people can only park for 20 minutes. There are parking meters where people pay to park in these areas. However, the problem is that many people leave their cars there for longer than 20 minutes. Dr. Edward de Bono’s solution is to make a rule that all cars parked in these areas must keep their headlights on. Of course, drivers will want to return to their cars before their car batteries (蓄電池) die.
According to Dr. de Bono, people will need to use creative thinking more often in the future. To help people think more creatively, he designed the “Six Thinking Hats” system(系統). The system helps people think about a problem in different ways in order to find a solution. In the system, there are six imaginary hats of different colors. Each hat symbolizes a different way of thinking. For example, the white hat helps people consider the facts. The black hat is the most logical(有邏輯的) and helps people consider why a possible solution may not work. So, next time you have a problem in your community, think about it creatively, from different perspectives, and see what ideas you have.
30.Which of the following is true about the “Six Thinking Hats” system
A. The system is used to help people think quickly.
B. The white hat helps people think about the facts.
C. The black hat has to do with people’s feelings.
D. Six hats of different shapes can be very helpful.

Have you ever thought how important T﹣shirts are in your life？I don't mean expensive designer T﹣shirts，After all，just because you spend a lot of money on a shirt doesn't mean that it looks good. I'm talking about the T﹣shirts that say something about you，like where you've been，what you like，or what you think. Those are often the T﹣shirts that we feel the most comfortable in and that we wear again and again. I'm going to tell you about two T﹣shirts that I really，really love and explain why. I've been to London twice. The first time I went I saw this shirt in a souvenir（紀念品）shop and my dad bought it for me. I really loved the design and the colors. And it reminds me of something funny that happened. One day we were travelling around the center of London. We almost got lost，but we found our way — thanks to the picture on this T﹣shirt! Sometimes I've bought clothes that I've never worn or that I've only worn once or twice. But I've worn（and washed o）this T﹣shirt hundreds of times. I love music and I love Adele.

Flamenco is very popular in southern Spain. It begins with guitar music and clapping（擊掌）and then dancers join the performance. Sometimes a woman dances alone and sometimes she dances with a man. The woman always wears a long，colorful dress. She moves her arms and hands slowly but her feet move in fast difficult steps. The man often wears black. Both dancers click their shoes on the floor when they dance around each other.
Cossack dances are from Russia and Ukraine. They are very energetic — some are more like gymnastics than dancing! Dancers have to be very fit because they jump very high and kick their legs up and down. They often jump over swords（劍）. The movements are similar to traditional Cossack activities，for example，sword fighting and getting on and off horses.
Limbo dancing is first from West Africa but today it is an important part of celebrations in the Caribbean. Young people have to dance under a pole（桿）. The pole is often on fire and the dancer mustn't touch it! After a successful "limbo"，they put the pole lower and do it again. Some dancers can dance under a pole just twenty centimeters off the ground!
Mask（面具）dances are important for the Dogon people in Mali. Each village makes different masks. They are often huge and colorful. There are masks of people，monsters or local animals like crocodiles and monkeys. Mask dancers are always men and they dance to the sound of drums for hours after the death of a person in the village. Today，Dogon villagers also perform the dances for tourists.

When do children start to talk？If you ask a group of parents when this happened，most will say" around twelve months of age". They will probably even remember what the children said. Many parents keep a diary of their child's "first words"
We can never predict what a first word is going to be. Often it's the name for" mummy " or "daddy"，but it could just as easily be the word for an animal or a favorite toy. Everything depends on what has most caught the child's attention. But one thing is certain：after the first word，others come quickly. By 18 months，most children have learned about 50 words. By two，the total has risen to around 200.
Early words are actually one﹣word sentences. One of the first features（特征）of language a child learns well is to control the rise and fall of the voice to make the difference between stating and questioning. In English，daddy with a high rising tone（聲調）means "is that daddy？" Daddy with a high falling tone means "There's daddy". Of course，only very basic meanings can be communicated using tones alone. So it soon becomes necessary to learn some grammar.
In English，grammar means learning to put words in different orders. Children have to see that mummy push is different from push mummy. They start practising such changes at around 18 months. By two，they have learned the basic patterns of word order，and we hear them saying such things as man kick ball and where daddy go.
What are the parents doing all his time？They're acting as teachers and they always have an active role to play in their child's language learning.
12. How old are most children when they have learned about 50 words？ 　 　
A. About 6 months old. B. About one year old.
C. About 18 months old. D. About two years]old.
13.Which might an English child say first when learning to talk？ 　 　
A. Mummy. B. Push mummy. C. Man kick ball. D. Where daddy go.
15. Who is most responsible for a child's early language learning？ 　 　
A. Teachers. B. Parents. C. Friends. D. Grandparents.

Do you believe in green living Read the following blog (博客)and replies about a fun, easy and creative way to make your lifestyle greener.
Posted by Gina at 8:32 a. m. on 11th February 2018 What do you think of the "new" hat I made for my sister It used to be my mum's sweater.
New uses for old clothing Nowadays, we're more wasteful than ever-buying, using and throwing things away without thinking about the costs. We need to start living more responsibly- but how One answer is to upcycle (再生利用) . If you're like me, you might already make soil for gardening from food waste and use empty paper boxes as storage space. Did you know you can apply (應用) the same way to old clothing You just need imagination! I started upcycling clothing. Making new things out of old clothes is the best way to mix my talent and my interest. Do you upcycle If so, what new things have you made If not, why not give it a try
Terry BPosted at 9:08 a. m. on 11th February 2018 Why don't you give your old clothes to people in need I even give away the most expensive things I don't wear anymore. So I can help the environment while giving something useful to people in need. GinaPosted at 9:28 a. m. on 11th February 2018 early Good point! I'm talking about only the oldest clothing in your room — the clothes that are too old to be worn by others. The same idea goes for food waste at restaurants and supermarkets. Before upcycling food that can still be eaten, for example, using it to make soil, we should give it to those in need.
Betty99Posted at 10:18 a. m. on 11th February 2018 I've made shopping bags out of T-shirts and dog toys out of socks. Upcycling clothing is a fun hobby, but the most important thing is that it makes me feel like I'm living less wastefully.

Traffic
lights are red, yellow and green. They are very important signals (信號). Traffic lights
are usually placed at busy street corners to help control traffic. Sometimes,
they are on streets near schools and shops, too. Most young children are taught
what each of the colored lights means, so everybody can stay safe.
The
first traffic signals were used for trains. The signals were put alongside
railway tracks (軌道). The color red was used to mean "stop" because it warned
people of danger. A red light was also the easiest color to see from a
distance. Train drivers could see the red "stop" light ahead and had
enough time to slow down and stop their trains. A green light was used to mean "take
care" and a white light meant "go".
However,
there were many dangerous accidents on the train tracks. Some train drivers
thought a star shining in the night sky was a white light that meant "go"".
So the signals were swapped. The "go" light was changed to
green and the "take care" light was changed to white.
During
these times, people travelled by train or in carts pulled by horses. Years
later, when cars were built, people began to drive them because they could
travel much faster than horses. However, the road rules for drivers were not
very clear and many people were hurt crossing the roads. Yellow warning signs
had to be placed beside the roads to remind drivers to take care and allow
people to cross safely.
Today,
towns and cities all over the world have traffic lights. Red and green lights
match the signals used on the railways. Yellow lights are easy to see, so they
are used to warn drivers that they should slow down and prepare to stop.
（1）Why was the color red used to mean "stop"
A．It reminded people of traffic rules.
B．It helped trains run smoothly.
C．It gave people a warning of danger.
D．It was the first color people thought of.
（3）In which order did the "take care" light develop
a. A white light b. A green light. c. A yellow light.
A．a一b一c B．b一c一a C．a一c一b D．b一a一c

A lot
of animals travel from one place to another. We call this migration.
In
Africa, large animals, like elephants and zebras, migrate to find food and
water. They usually follow the same ways every year.
A lot
of birds migrate to find food and better weather, too. They are usually birds
that eat insects. They spend the summer in northern Europe, because there are
lots of insects there. In the winter there aren't any insects, so the birds fly
south to southern Europe and Africa.
Some
insects migrate, too. In North America, millions of monarch butterflies fly
south to spend the winter in Mexico, California and Florida, where it's warmer.
They travel 50-65 km each day and they travel about 1, 125 km.
Some
fish migrate to breed (繁殖). Salmon (鮭魚) can swim over 20, 000 km in
their life. They are born in rivers in Ireland, Scotland and other places in
northern Europe. The young fish swim down the river to the sea and into the
Atlantic Ocean. They live in the ocean until they are adults. Then they return
to the river where they were born. They lay their eggs in the river and then
they usually die. Salmon do this, because their eggs are safer in the river.
Other fish can't eat them.
Arctic
terns (北極燕鷗) travel the furthest when they migrate. They spend the summer in
the Arctic, but when winter comes they fly to the Antarctic, because it's
summer there. The next year they fly back to the Arctic again. In one year
these small birds travel 36, 000km from one end of the earth to the other and
back again. Nobody knows how they do it.
（1）According to the passage, monarch butterflies in North America migrate to________.
A．find insects B．look for water
C．find better weather D．produce young
（2）Adult salmon swim back to the river because ___________.
A．they won't be eaten by other big fish
B．they want to lay eggs in a safer place
C．they are getting ready to die there
D．they want to go where they grew up
（3）Which of the following is true about animals' migration
A．Elephants in Africa usually travel the same way each year.
B．Most birds fly to southern Europe and Africa in summer.
C．Some insects travel 1, 125 km each day.
D．Salmon swim 20, 000 km each year.

How
would you feel if someone decided to take away your park Well that's what's
happening in my community. There's a park that some people want to turn into a
golf course (高爾夫球場). Let me tell you why I think it's a bad idea.
First,
a park is meant to be for the whole community. Not everyone likes golf, so not
everyone will get to use the park. This isn't fair. A community park should
have open spaces for everyone to use.
Second,
to make way for the golf course, lots of playground equipment (設施) will have to be
moved or knocked down, which is a waste of time and money. It's also a waste of
perfectly good equipment. The swings, for example, will probably just end up as
litter.
Third,
what about giving young people something to do Not all kids are crazy about
golf. At the moment, the park has a skating place and a playground. These
attract lots of kids from the community. If you turn the park into a golf
course, these kids won't have anywhere to go and they won't have anything to
do.
This
means that they will stay at home and turn on a video game rather than get some
exercise. It also means that they might be out on the street causing trouble.
Wouldn't it be better to give them something to do at the park
Finally,
golf is expensive. Building a golf course and maintaining (維護)it costs a lot of
money. Who is going to pay to maintain the golf course What about those people
who can't afford to join a golf club That means that the golf course will only
be available to people with lots of money.
Turning
our park into a golf course is a bad idea. I suggest we have a community
meeting before plans go any further.
（1）Some people want to change the park into ______________.
A．a golf club B．a golf course
C．a park D．a skating place
（2）According to Paragraph 4, having nowhere to go will make some children
A．go to get some exercise B．fall in love with golf
C．play video games at home D．go to the street and make friends

This painting is called The Fighting Temeraire. Temeraire is the name of the big, old sailing ship that you can see on the left of the picture. People chose this picture to be the greatest painting in Britain.
J.M.W. Turner painted it in 1839.It shows the old sailing ship, the Temeraire, on the River Thames near London. There's a small tugboat pulling the old ship. It's in fact taking the Temeraire on its last journey. The old ship is going to the breaker's yard. In the background we can see the sun setting.
The picture, however, is more than just a painting of two boats in the evening. The artist wanted to show the end of an era (時代). The time of the beautiful, old sailing ships is coming to an end. That's why we see this happening at sunset. In the little, brown tugboat we can see the new industrial era starting. The tugboat is small and dark and it's making a lot of smoke, but it's very strong, because it's pulling the much bigger ship.
The painting shows a real event. Turner watched the Temeraire taking its last journey up the Thames, but he changed some of the details. He painted the old ship white and gold so that it looks like a ghost. In fact, the realship was black and yellow. We also see the sun setting behind the ship, but in fact, the ship travelled towards the sunset. However, Turner wanted to show the sun setting on the time of the beautiful old sailing ships.
Turner painted The Fighting Temeraire when he was quite old, so perhaps he wanted to show the sun setting on his own life, too. He loved the painting and he never sold it. You can see it today in the National Gallery in London.

A. is the name of a big sailing ship B. was thought the best painting in Britain

Smile Train is a charity (慈善團體) that helps the millions of children around the world, who suffer from a facial defect (缺陷). The defect happens when a baby's top lip or mouth doesn't form properly before birth. Eating and drinking is very difficult for these babies. The charity provides free operations, which give these children a new smile, and with it, new hope and a new beginning.
Children with the defect need all the help. Although many sufferers are accepted by their families, sadly, others are not. In some countries, children with this defect are often abandoned at birth because their parents feel ashamed of them or cannot afford the operations. The good news is that the operation is not difficult. It takes less than an hour and costs the family nothing. The charity raises money and finds the right medical volunteers to perform the operations.
A Smile Train doctor from the UK said, "Each child who has the operation is given a second chance at life. After years of staying at home, the children can finally go to school and be happy. Every year I perform hundredsof operations free of cost through Smile Train. Some of the stories I have heard are quite surprising. One newborn baby girl was found abandoned on a train. Luckily for her, she was found and adopted (收養) by a passenger. This lady then heard about Smile Train and brought the baby to our hospital. I did the operation and gave hope to the family. Experienced doctors like me share our skills with local doctors. In this way we make sure that these operations will always be available."
23.Smile Train is a charity which ________.
A. provides food and medical care for poor children
B. raises money for all the doctors working in the UK
C. offers free medical help to children with the facial defect
D. gives children without parents new hope and a new beginning

If you go shopping in any toy store, you can see clearly the different games and toys for boys and girls: there are a lot of pink toys on one side of the store for girls; and dark colored cars, guns, and soldiers for boys. Some big stores with toys may even have a pink floor for girls and a blue floor for boys. In fact, it is difficult to buy a toy for a girl that is not pink.
Some people think that too much pink is bad for girls. Sue Palmer, writer of Toxic Childhood, is very worried that most girls over the age of three are crazy about the color. According to some scientists, this happens for two reasons. Firstly, most companies offer too many products in pink. Also, many parents think their little daughter looks cute in pink. Sue Palmer says that girls at this age cannot make proper decisions by themselves, but the pink can affect (影響) the choices and the decisions they will make in the future.
Some parents are worried too-for example, Vanessa Holburn, thirty-two, who has two girls under the age of four. Their bedrooms are a sea of pink and Vanessa is not happy. "Pink says that you are soft and gentle. Blue says that you are strong and powerful. I want my daughters to be strong and powerful. I'm worried that pink will not help them with that," she says.
But not everyone thinks there's something wrong with pink. Grayson Turner is a father of three girls and he isn't worried at all. "People forget that things change all the time," he says. "My girls used to love pink when they were little, but as they get older, they change." Turner explains that his twelve-year-old daughter never wears pink clothes anymore. "This love of pink is just a fashion and all fashions change," he adds. "It's only since the 1940s that people have started dressing girls in pink-before that it was a color for boys."
28.The underlined word "that" in Paragraph 3 means ________.
A. being soft and gentle B. being strong and powerful
C. being gentle but powerful D. being cute and beautiful
29.According to Grayson Turner, ________.

When Leon Martin asked for his parents’ advice on how to become a UX designer (設計師), they both went silent. “In fact, I had no idea what he was talking about,” said Anne, his mother. “I don’t know whether he was talking about designing clothes, computer programs or a fancy brand of bike.”
Even when her 18-year-old son explained that it was something about “behind the scenes” online design, his mother was still a bit lost. “I felt like I had totally failed as a parent,” she said. “My job as a parent is to open doors so my children can achieve their potential (潛力), but now can I do that when I don’t even understand what their dreams are ”
_________ Research has found that more than 2/3 of parents in England are now facing the problem that, when their children express interest in new education and job choices, they may know nothing about them.

If you are looking for somewhere special to visit in London, we may have the answer for you: Sir John Soane's Museum. The museum is one of London's best-kept secrets, and it's well worth a visit. Sir John, a great architect（建筑師), lived in London during the 18thcentury(1753—1837), and the amazing thing is that his house is exactly the same as he left it. In fact, visiting the house is just like stepping back in time.
There are three floors which are open to the public. You can start on the first floor. This was Sir John's work area. You can ask the guards about the paintings on the walls as they tell you something about his family and life. And don't worry about the guards as they are really nice and helpful. Next, you can go downstairs to the ground floor. Here you can see his rich collection of paintings. For example, there is a series（系列)of interesting paintings about 18th century life in London. Now comes the last part, the underground floor. It's full of thousands of valuable objects, such as sculptures(雕塑)and models of famous buildings from all over the world. Walking around this part of the house is a bit like being on a treasure hunt, as you can find things hidden away in secret corners. Anyway, you'll have to go there yourself to see.
Sir John Soane's Museum is a very small place. It's only about ten minutes' walk from the British Museum.

You may think that having less water is because of having less rain, but it is now a problem in southern China, an area in which it rains often.
The government said that Shenzhen was facing its most serious water shortage ever. Other cities in the southern part of China, like Chengdu and Guangzhou, are also becoming "thirsty" though they have more rain and are close to more rivers and lakes, The Paper reported. So why are they still short on water
In these big cities, populations are growing fast. As a result, people and factories need more water.
Climate change is making the water problem worse. Most cities in Guangdong province depend on the Dongjiang River as their main source of water. In 2021, the river was reported to be drying up.
Water pollution also makes it harder to get clean drinking water. Factories and farms don't use water well. Some cities have enough rain but don't have big lakes or reservoirs (水庫) to store water, so the water goes out into the sea.
But there is a hidden water resource (資源) right under our feet. That's "groundwater". We can't see it. However, it plays an important role in our lives. About 98 percent of Earth's fresh water is groundwater. It is 60 times as plentiful as the fresh water in lakes and rivers. But in many places, people overuse and pollute groundwater. We should pay more attention to this hidden water resource.
5．Why are Chengdu and Guangzhou becoming "thirsty"
A．They are in south China. B．They are short on water.
C．They are close to rivers. D．They are having less rain.
6．What made the water problem worse in Guangdong province
A．Climate change. B．Population growth.
C．Water pollution. D．Hidden resources.

Eliud Kipchoge was born in a small village in Kenya. As the smallest of the four children in his family, little Kipchoge often rode his bicycle to sell milk. He also had to run 3.2 kilometres to get to school.
For a long time, running was just a hobby. Then he met Patrick Sang who later became his long-term coach. In 2oo2, Kipchoge started training for 5,000 metres and got the 2003 world 5000m title. This was what happened before he turned to marathons in 2013. Over the next ten years, he achieved great success in marathons, including two Olympic gold medals, two world records, and the sub-two-hour marathon in 2019, proving what he has said, "no human is limited (有限的)."
Kipchoge focuses on his goals and challenges his limits. He became the "Marathon King" not just because of his running talent and strict training, but also through strong willpower and a deep love for running. For years, he led a simple life and followed a strict daily plan.
A surprising turn in Kipchoge's career (事 業) came during the 2024 Paris Olympics. Suffering from great pain, Kipchoge had to withdraw from the marathon at the 31-kilometre mark. He lost the chance for a third Olympic gold. "There are things you can't prevent, what has happened has happened. One way to deal with things is to tell myself to move on," he said after the race.
Eliud Kipchoge's success in marathon history will remain in the coming years. Just as he said:"It's not just about running to win or breaking records. It
