Show the teacher that he or she has your full attention by looking them in the eye． This person should have your full attention at all times during class． Take notes． By taking notes， you'll be able to "get into" the lesson． Write down key points as your teacher speaks． And listen to the key phrases such as "This is important" "This is the main idea" "This will be the test" etc．3. Get involved in class discussions． This is a wonderful way to become a more focused， successful student． When a teacher asks a question， offer to answer it．4.This shows the teacher that you are listening carefully during the class． Ask a question．5.This really shows your teacher that you want to be better， and can recognize the things you are having difficulty with． Chances are that someone else in the class has the same question （and was too afraid to ask!）． They'll be relieved， and so will you． A.Avoid sitting with friends． B.This can help you listen more attentively． C.If he or she ask for an opinion， share your own． D.Talking with friends makes you lose interest in class． E.He or she is trying to give you an acceptable education． F.The more quickly you answer， the more attention you pay． G.If you don't understand something， never be afraid to ask．
Scientists have long known a reliable way to lose weight in lab animals; Cut the amount of calories(卡路里) by 10 percent to 40 percent. A new study suggests that in young and middle-aged adults, taking in 300 caloric less every day can also have a big influence on their body weight and health. In the new study published this month in the Lancet, researchers looked at a group of 143 healthy men and women aging from 21 to 50. They could eat the foods they wanted as long as they cut about 12 percent of their total calories, or roughly 300 calories a day. The group saw their health improve. For example, their blood pressure fell, and they had better blood sugar control. “The benefits came from the fact that they lost about 16 pounds over the two years of the study,” said William Kraus, the lead author of the study and a professor of medicine at Duke University. “We were surprised by these changes,” he added. “In a disease population, there aren't five drugs in combination(组合) that would get such a big improvement.” Calories cut may be useful for better health and weight loss, said Frank Hu, the chairman of the nutrition department at the Harvard School of Public Health. But he questioned whether caloric cut would be possible for most people since we are living in an environment with so many energy-rich, nutrient-poor foods that are cheap, and heavily advertised. He suggested, however, that some people might find calorie cut possible if they combined it with other popular diets like the Mediterranean diet. Dr. Kraus said, “It’s not that hard to cut as little as 300 calories a day from their diets. It just takes an after-dinner snack.” 1.How much calories does a middle-aged adult usually take in each day? A.About 300. B.About 750. C.About 2,500. D.About3,000. 2.What led to the health benefits in the new study according to William Kraus? A.The combination of five drugs. B.The weight loss. C.The energy-rich snacks. D.The delicious foods. 3.What is Frank Hu’s attitude toward the advice in the new study? A.Doubtful. B.Favorable. C.Uncaring. D.Curious. 4.What can be the suitable title for the text? A.Hot Debate on Different Weight-losing Diets B.New Health Guidelines Published for the Adults C.The Easiest Way to Stay Fit and Healthy Ever Found D.Cutting 300 Calories a Day to Stay Healthy Every Day
Ed Dohring had dreamed of reaching the top of Mount Everest. But when he reached the mountain top a few days ago, he was shocked by what he saw. Climbers were fighting to take selfies along the way. The flat part of the mountain top, which was about the size of two Ping-Pong tables, was packed with 15 or 20 people. To get up there, he had to wait hours in a line, with temperature dropping to -30 Celsius. “At least 10 people died. And some seemed to have been avoidable,” he said. “It was frightening when I had to step around the body of a woman who had just died.” The problem hasn't been snowstorms or strong winds. Tourist guides and industry leaders blame having too many people on the mountain and too many untrained climbers. The Nepalese government, hungry for every climbing dollar it can get, has no strict rules about who can climb Everest, and has allowed more climbers than Everest can safely deal with. It is just an invitation for disaster—at 29,000 feet. At that altitude, a delay of even an hour or two can mean life or death. “To be sure, one of the biggest problems this year seems to be the number of people trying to reach the top of the mountain at the same time. And since there is no government traffic police high on the mountain, the task of deciding when and how many groups can start climbing is left up to tourism companies.” said Lukas Furtenbach, a guide who recently led his climbers to the Chinese side of Everest because of the overcrowding in Nepal and the rapid increase of untrained climbers. “But the government should not just take whatever they can get while ignoring the necessary traffic rules.” 1.Why did Ed Dohring feel frightened along the way to the Everest's top? A.The mountain top was too small. B.A fight took place among the climbers. C.The temperature suddenly fell to 30°C. D.He had to walk over a dead climber's body. 2.Who should be mainly responsible for the problem according to Lukas Furtenbach? A.The traffic police. B.The tourists themselves. C.The Nepalese government. D.The tourism companies. 3.Why did Lukas Furtenbach take the tourists to the part of Everest in China? A.There were fewer climbers. B.It was a less dangerous road. C.The weather was better there. D.It was a newly found attraction. 4.What is the text mainly about? A.An accident at the top of Mount Everest. B.The poor management of the Nepalese government. C.The causes of the accidents at the top of the Mount Everest. D.The messy state of the tourist roads in the Mount Everest area.
When Peter Zhuo was a kid, he could barely hold pencil properly. He'd either wrap all his fingers around it or hold it uncomfortably between his middle and fourth finger. Through practice he managed to get it right when he was about eight. Now at 23, not only can he use a pencil competently, he's using it to change the world, one stroke at a time. Peter—who goes by the name Peter Draw felt the desire to draw with a purpose after meeting Daniel, a teenager with cerebral palsy(脑瘫), in November 2006. When Daniel first joined Peter's drawing class at the Spastic Children's Association of Singapore, Peter doubted if Daniel could even complete a drawing. But stroke by stroke the then 17-ycar-old did. "His passion for drawing really touched me. I felt I should do more with my drawing and help children at the same time," says Peter, who has since taken on some mega projects to raise awareness for his cause. Last October, he earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records for drawing the world's largest caricature(人物漫画). His 360-square-metre drawing of Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan is twice the size of the previous record. Peter completed it in just three-and-a-half hours while the previous record-holder took three days. And in December, he took on the challenge of drawing caricatures for 24 hours non-stop in order to raise money for Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit organization that builds homes for the less fortunate. Peter completed 952 sketches(素描) during the time. The event raised $ 6, 000 through donations and his accomplishment earned him a mention in the Singapore Book of Records. 1.When Peter was a kid, . A.he had difficulty using his pencil B.he was unable to write a word C.his fingers were flexible D.he couldn't practice writing 2.After Peter met Daniel, he intended to . A.learn drawing like Daniel B.help children through his drawing C.become an action actor like Jackie Chan D.win a place in the Guinness Book of Records 3.The underlined word “mega” in Paragraph 3 may mean . A.profitable B.impressive C.interesting D.scary 4.What do we know about Peter? A.He donated$6,000 to build houses for the poor. B.He drew the world’s largest caricature in three days. C.He raised a lot of money for Daniel to treat his disease. D.He drew 952 sketches in 24 hours to raise a lot of money.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。 Once there were three trees in the woods on a hill. They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the first tree said, “Someday hope to be a treasure chest (珍宝箱). I could be filled with gold, silver and valuable items. I could be decorated with beautiful designs and everyone would see the beauty.” Then the second tree said. “Someday I will be a big and strong ship. I will take kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of the world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my body.” Finally, the third tree said, “I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest tree in the forest. People will come to see me on the top of the hill and look up to my branches and think of the sky and how close to it I am reaching. I will be the greatest tree of all time and people will always remember me.” After few years of praying (祈祷) that their dreams would come true, the trees were visited by a group of woodsmen. When one came to the first tree, he said, “This tree looks like a strong one. I think I should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter. And he began cutting it down. The tree was very happy, because he knew that the carpenter would make him into a treasure chest. At the second tree, a woodsman said, “This looks like a strong tree and I should be able to sell it to the ship factory.” The second tree was also very happy because he knew he was on his way to becoming huge and strong ship. When woodsmen came upon the third tree, the tree was frightened because he knew that if they cut him down, his dream would not come true. One of the woodsmen said, “I don’t need anything special from my tree. I’ll take this one.” And he cut it down. 注意：续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: However, the three trees were made into different things against their wishes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As wildfires continued to sweep across Australia, the loss of life in the area was reaching astonishing numbers. Ecologists (生态学家) at the University of Sydney said that nearly half a billion animals and plants had been wiped out since the fires began several months before. Images and videos from the area showed kangaroos trying to escape from burning forests and charred (烧焦的) bodies of koalas lying on the ground. Koalas, which had been already under threat because of significant habitat loss, were hit particularly hard compared with other animals. Ecologists said nearly 8,000 koalas—about one-third of the population in their primary habitat-were believed to have died from the big fires. Professor Dieter Hochuli from the University of Sydney said it wasn’t just the well- known species, such as kangaroos, koalas and emus(鸸鹋), that were in danger. Insects also suffered losses. Additionally, many rare plant species might have disappeared completely. While animal hospitals were taking in as many animals as possible to treat burns and nursed them back to health, services had overall struggled to keep up with the amount of care needed. And the animals that had survived would have trouble finding food and shelters among the ongoing flames, so they were still in a dangerous situation. “We’re getting a lot of lessons out of this and it’s just showing how unprepared we are,” Dr. Sussan Ley said. “Now Australia is burning and national parks and our native animals are being destroyed. People have lost homes. People have died. Firefighters have been killed defending communities, most recently last night. There’s no protocols (拟定草案) in place even wildlife carers dont’ have protocols for when they can go in after fire. It’s our national government that is failing us.” 1.What’s the purpose of the second paragraph? A.To explain why there were so many rare animals in Australia. B.To show the terrible effect Australian wildfires had on species. C.To further confirm Professor Dieter Hochuli’s’unique opinion. D.To warn people to take good care of wild animals and plants. 2.Why were the animals still in danger after surviving the fire? A.They failed to recover from serious burns. B.They might be hunted by people for food. C.They were short of food and shelters. D.They were unable to get nursing services. 3.What is Dr.Sussan Ley’s attitude towards the national government’s deed? A.Supportive. B.Unconcerned. C.Doubtful. D.Dissatisfied. 4.What is the main idea of the text? A.Many rare animal species might have disappeared. B.Measures should be taken to prevent Australian wildfires. C.Australian wildfires killed nearly half a billion animals and plants. D.Ecologists have made great efforts to find the causes of wildfires.
László Bíró, a Hungarian, was the father of one of the 20th century’s most successful inventions—ballpoint pen. He worked in medicine, oil industry, motor racing and painting. It was when he was a newspaper editor that he became disappointed by the nibs (metal points) of pens which leaked ink and tore paper. One day, he was in a Budapest printing shop and saw an ink that dried as soon as it touched paper. “It got me thinking how this process could be simplified right down to the level of an ordinary pen,” he recalled later. The quick-drying ink used in printing was too thick to flow from a fountain pen, so Bíró’s brother, George, who is an expert in chemistry, came up with a new design. After several years of experiments, Biro replaced the pen’s metal writing nib with the new design bearing a tiny ball in its tip with the help of his brother. As the pen moved along the paper, the ball rolled, picking up ink from the ink container and putting it smoothly on the paper. Bíró sold his patent (专利) to Baron Marcel Bich of France for 2 million dollars. In 1950 Bich produced his own cheap, disposable (一次性的) ballpoint pen. It was sold throughout the market and in 1965 the French government allowed it to be used in schools, with other countries following suit, such as Argentina. Before long, the ballpoint was becoming an increasingly popular piece of stationery (文具). Today, around 15 million ballpoint pens are sold worldwide every day. People will always remember Biro for his invention. Today in many English-speaking countries, people still use the word “biro” to refer to any kind of ballpoint pen Millions of people use it all over the world every day. Bíró used to hear people say the ballpoint was ruining writing skills. He would smile and say, “Well, writing comes from the heart. If we can help the hand to perform the task, what is so wrong with that?” 1.When did Biro decide to invent a new pen? A.When he worked in the oil industry. B.When he saw the quick-drying ink. C.When he began to use fountain pens. D.When he was buying a printing machine. 2.What did George help Biro do? A.Design the ballpoint pen. B.Invent a pen-friendly kind of paper. C.Manage to make printing ink thicker. D.Produce the pen’s metal writing nib. 3.Where were ballpoint pens first put on the market? A.In Hungary. B.In England. C.In France. D.In Argentina. 4.What can we learn from the text? A.We should put our heart into writing. B.The tip of the ballpoint pen ruins paper. C.Biro regretted inventing the ballpoint pen. D.The ballpoint pen was welcome at the market.
How do you make a restaurant business an overnight success at the age of 52? Ray Kroc said, “I was an overnight success, but 30 years is a long, long night.” In 1917, 15-year-old Ray Kroc lied about his age to join the Red Cross as an ambulance driver in World War Ⅰ, but the war ended before he completed his training. He then worked as a piano player, and a paper cup salesman. In 1954, he visited restaurant in San Bernardino, California. There he found the small but successful restaurant run by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald, and was surprised by their effective (有效的) operation. The McDonald’s brothers produced a limited menu, concentrating on just few items—burgers, fries and drinks—which allowed them to focus on quality and quick service. They were looking for new franchising agent (特许经销商) and Kroc saw chance. In 1955, he founded McDonald’s System, Inc. By 1958, MeDonald’s had sold its 100 millionth hamburger. In 1961, Kroc started a training program later called Hamburger University, at a new McDonald’s restaurant in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. There, franchisees (特许证持有人) were trained on the proper methods for running successful McDonald’s’ restaurant. Hamburger University used a research and development laboratory to develop new cooking, freezing, storing and serving methods. Today, more than 275,000 franchisees, managers, and employees have graduated from the program. Right up until he died on January 14, 1984, Ray Kroc never stopped working for McDonald’s. His legacy provides McDonald’s customers with great tasty, inexpensive food; staff and franchisees with chances for growth; and suppliers with a shared promise to provide the highest quality food. 1.What does Ray Kroc mean by the underlined sentence? A.He waited 30 years to be a franchisee. B.He experienced a lot before he succeeded. C.It took long preparation to open the restaurant. D.He felt happy for the past 30 years. 2.Why was the operation of Dick and Mac McDonald effective? A.They focused on a limited menu. B.They considered quality important.

A study has found that a lifetime of regular exercise and activity can slow down the aging process (衰老过程). Researchers say that getting older should not necessarily mean becoming more weak or sick. Their research shows that a devotion to a life of movement and exercise may help us live not only longer, but also healthier. For their study, the researchers looked at two groups. The first group was made up of 125 non-professional cyclists between the ages of 55 to 79. This group included 84 healthy men and 41 healthy women. We will call this group the “cyclists”. Researchers then found 130 people to make up a second group. Within this group, 75 people were aged from 57 to 80. The other 55 were between the ages of 20 and 36. The people in this group were also healthy, but they did not exercise regularly. We will call this group the “non-exercisers”. Smokers, heavy drinkers of alcohol and people with other health issues were not included in the study. Then, researchers gave both groups a series of tests. They tested their muscle mass (肌肉质量), muscular strength, percentage of body fat and the strength of their immune (免疫的) systems. Then the researchers compared the results of the two groups. Results showed that the cyclists did not experience body changes usually regarded as a normal aging process. For example, they did not lose muscle mass or muscular strength. Also, their body fat did not increase with age. The researchers also found something they had not expected. The study showed that the immune systems of the cyclists did not age either. The researchers advise us all to find an exercise that we like in our lives. 1.How did the researchers carry out the study? A.By comparing. B.By discussing. C.By imagining. D.By reasoning. 2.Which of the following is a result of the research? A.The cyclists kept a thin body shape. B.The non-exercisers gained weight easily. C.The cyclists’ muscles remained strong with age. D.The non-exercisers usually had health problems. 3.Which is an unexpected result for the researchers? A.The cyclists had normal aging process. B.The cyclists’ immune systems didn’t age. C.The cyclists lost nearly all their fat. D.Everyone needed an exercise in their lives. 4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.Healthy People Need More Exercise B.Take an Exercise, the Harder, the Better C.Cycling Is the Best Way to Prevent Aging D.A Lifetime of Exercise Slows Aging Process
When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly ad possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up. “Storm chasing” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop. Although anyone can do it , storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season. Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement . “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.” However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature, It is the greatest show on Earth.” 1.For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to . A.head straight for the center of the storm B.get into the car for safety C.wait patiently for the storm to develop D.collect information about a coming storm 2.Beginners of storm chasing are advised . A.not to drive in a heavy rain B.to do it in an organized way C.not to get too close to a storm D.to spend more time on it in summer 3.By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that . A.storm chasing costs a lot of money B.storm chasing is worth hours of waiting C.efforts in storm chasing are well paid D.a storm presents the greatest show on Earth 4.What can we learn from the text? A.Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment B.Many storm chasers get killed in the storms. C.Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world. D.Storm chasing is only fit for young people.
A young man returns to his hometown of Aractataca, Colombia. He visits the house where he lived as a child. Here, he remembers the most important memories of his childhood. Standing in front of his old house, the young man makes an important decision. He says to himself, “I will start my life over again. I will become a writer.” This man is the world famous writer, Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Gabriel Garcia Marquez was born on March 6, 1928. During his early life, Garcia Marquez’s grandmother and grandfather told him many stories. His grandmother would tell him legends as if they were real. Garcia Marquez says that his grandmother’s way of storytelling later influenced his own methods. When Garcia Marquez was about 20 years old, he left Aractataca and attended university in Bogota. He began studying law because this was what his father wanted him to study. However, Garcia Marquez was not happy. During this time Garcia Marquez returned to Aractataca. It was on this visit that he realized he must stop studying law. And he recognized that he must return to the dream of his childhood-writing. For the next few years, Garcia Marquez wrote for many different newspapers. And in 1955, he published his first book called “Leaf Storm”. For many years, Garcia Marquez knew he wanted to write about his grandfather’s house in Aractataca. To write this book, Garcia Marquez and his wife had to sell almost all of their possessions to survive. But their act was worth it. The book, “One Hundred Years of Solitude” was immediately successful. And this book created a path for Garcia Marquez’s future success.

Apples are packed with amazing health benefits: weight loss, heart protection, lowering your risk of illnesses, and many more. Not only are they good for you, but they taste delicious too! The only problem is that the pieces we pack for lunch are always an unpleasant brown by the time we dig them out of the fridge. That’s because polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in the fruit experiences a chemical change with oxygen (氧气) in the air. Luckily, there is an apple you can pick up at the store that won’t turn brown for a while―the Opal apple. Opal apples are naturally low in PPO, which means they’ll stay fresh and white long after you cut them. It has been tested that after sitting out unpacked for more than six hours, the apple had hardly any browning. You may be wondering if genetic modification (转基因) plays a role in avoiding the fruit’s browning. In fact, you may even ask if Opal apples are safe to eat because they can do something most apples can’t. But according to the Opal website, they’re the first apples to be checked by the Non-GMO Project, the gold standard for certification (证明). “We understand that some people are concerned about genetically modified organism (GMO) products and felt it was important to make it clear that the natural nonbrowning characteristic is just that―natural,” said Keith Mathews, CEO of First Fruits Marketing. The Opal apple is actually a cross between a Golden Delicious and a Topaz apple, and it has a sweet flavor. Plus, it still has all the health benefits every other apple has. Although FirstFruits Marketing does not show nutrition (营养) facts for the Opal apples, their nutrition value should be similar, if not the same, to every other apple. If you don’t like eating brown apples, you can consider going to the supermarket for some Opal apples. 1.How is the Opal apple different from other apples? A.It has less PPO. B.It helps lose weight. C.It has the attractive smell. D.It has few spots on its skin. 2.Why is the Non-GMO Project mentioned? A.To show the popularity of Opal apples. B.To show Opal apples meet the safety standard. C.To show Opal apples have a special characteristic. D.To show the concern for GMO foods. 3.What is the author’s attitude to the Opal apple? A.Doubtful. B.Uncaring. C.Positive. D.Careful. 4.What is the best title of the text? A.Opal Apples―with More Nutrition? B.Opal Apples―on the Way to Be Popular? C.Opal Apples―A New GMO Food? D.Opal Apples Never Brown―But Are They Safe to Eat?
