Children in one country may play games that are quite different from those played anywhere else in the world. Here are some interesting games that y
2、ou and your friends can try. The Mouse Game (The Philippines)In this game, a piece of string is tied to the players hand. One part of the string represents (代表) the “cat” while the other part is the “mouse”. The aim of the game is for the cat to catch the mouse and for the mouse to escape just in ti
3、me. It teaches you to focus and move your fingers fast. Pinata (Mexico)A pinata is a colorful box made from papers and filled with sweets and toys. Children are blindfolded and take turns at trying to hit the pinata, which usually hangs (悬挂) on a tree or pole. When someone breaks open the pinata, th
4、e children run to get the sweets and toys, which they can take away as gifts. This game improves your sense of direction. Help (China)Chasing games are popular all around the world. In China, one player is chosen to be the chaser and runs after the other players until someone is caught. No equipment
5、 is needed to play this game, but it helps to run fast and have a loud voice for shouting. Doorkeeper (Afghanistan)In the villages of Afghanistan, there is no limit to the number of players who can take part in the game. A small rubber ball is all you need to play the game. It helps to have quick re
6、actions and focus your eyes on the ball because you need to prevent the ball getting into the net.1Which game offers players presents in the end?AThe Mouse Game.BPinata.CHelp.DDoorkeeper.2What is special about the game Help?AIt needs no equipment.BIt limits player numbers.CIt trains quick reaction.D
7、It needs close attention.3What is the purpose of the text?ATo explain the game rules.BTo introduce some fun games.CTo tell the origin (起源) of games.DTo show the advantages of games.BCold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions
8、that use the word “cold”. For centuries, the bodys blood has been linked (联系) closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold-blooded. Cold-blooded people act in a cruel way. They may do brutal (野蛮的) things to others, and not by accident. Fo
9、r example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. The killer murdered someone, not in self-defense. He seemed to kill with no emotion. Cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. Heavy socks can warm your feet, if your feet are really cold. But there
10、 is an expression to get cold feet that has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned. All the work of the organiza
11、tion will be your duty. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation. Cold can also affect your shoulder. You “give someone the cold shoulder” when you refuse to speak to him. You treat him in a distant, cold way. The expression probably comes from the phys
12、ical act of turning your back towards someone, instead of speaking to him face to face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you or to someone who has lied about you to others. “A cold fish” is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly
13、, unemotional and show no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone. “Out in the cold” is an expression often heard. It means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise. He was left out in the cold. And it is no
14、t a pleasant place to be.4What does the passage intend to tell us?ACold weather has a great effect on human bodies.BMany English expressions contain the word “cold”.CCold is a word closely linked with human emotions.DThe word “cold” has many different meanings in English.5What could make you get col
15、d feet?AYou break the leg of a child and force him to beg for money.BYou are the only one who gets a pay raise in your company.CYou decide to catch a thief but then you find him take out a knife.DYou show no warmth or kindness to the people around you.6If the teacher gives all the boys except Tom a

17、ge in Queens, New York, last November, she planned to go hiking and bird-watching. A mile into her walk, she noticed a beautiful female mute swan (疣鼻天鹅) near the waters edge. Cordova, who had worked at the Wild Bird Fund recovery center in Manhattan, knew that swans can attack people. But strangely,
18、 as she got close to this one, it didnt move. So she was certain that the bird was ill and needed medical attention. Cordova put her jacket over the birds head to keep it calm, carefully picked it up, and held it in her arms. And then a thought came to her: What do I do now?Her best choice was the W
19、ild Bird Fund recovery center, but that was on the other side of town. How was she going to transport a 17-pound swan on foot all that way? Luckily, a stranger offered her a bike and then she took the swan to a nearby subway station by bike. On the subway, no one seemed to be astounded by the feathe
20、red passenger. “Even one guy, who was sitting right in front of me, just gave the swan a calm glance,” says Cordova. Cordova called the recovery center, and Tristan, an animal-care manger, picked her up at the subway station and drove the bird to the recovery center. There, staff members decided tha
21、t the swan might have been hurt by a fish hook. The staff looked after the swan carefully and got it back up on its webbed feet. The swan even made a boyfriend in the center. Sadly, it had a bacterial infection. Two months after Cordova came to its rescue, it passed away. Its a disappointing ending,
22、 but the real story is just how far some people are willing to go to save a swan in the big city literally (确实地). In all, Cordova traveled two hours by bike by subway, and by car to save it with endless efforts. Tristan says, “We are angels of love. Thats the perfect summary of who we are. I firmly
23、believe that we will continue to save wildlife.”8Why did Cordova decide that the swan was ill?AIt behaved unnaturally.BIt moved up and down.CIt attacked her.DIt stood near the waters edge.9What does the underlined word “astounded” in paragraph 3 probably mean?Amoved.Bdisappointed.Camused.Dshocked10W

25、enerous.DCurious and creative. DRecordings (录音) of angry bees are enough to send big, tough African elephants running away, a new study says. Beehives (蜂窝) either recorded or real may even prevent elephants from damaging farmers crops. Years ago, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants
26、 avoid certain trees with bees living in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might stop elephants from eating crops. But before she asked farmers to set up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would frighten elephants away. Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tr
27、ee in northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down. Next, Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a tre
28、e close to each family. From a distance, Lucy turned on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group didnt react to the sound of the angr
29、y bees. Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them. When Lucy played the sound of a waterfall (瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in
30、one place. Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times. She hasnt tested enough groups yet to know and she has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away.12What can be the title of the

35、to stay in the bathroom longer-she hoped it would make her skin lighter. Kids were making fun of Rogers dark complexion. So Erika Pollard, the girls mom, moved Rogers to another school. Kids still made fun of her, but this time the kids bullying（霸凌）her were black.Taylor Pollard wanted to help her si
36、ster feel good about herself. In 2017, she took a picture of Kheris. She posted it online. She wrote Kheris was “flexing in her complexion”. That is an expression their grandmother used often to encourage the girls to feel beautiful. Complexion means skin color. Flexing is a term for “showing off” o
37、r “showing pride”.Then the sisters received many messages supporting Rogers and decided they wanted to direct that energy. Together, they came up with the idea of putting the message on a T-shirt Their business, Flexin In My Complexion, started shortly after that in April 2017. Erika gave the sister
38、s about $100. Then their project got off the ground. They used some of the money to build a website. They also learned how to screen print T-shirts. The sisters set up shop in the garage behind their moms house in LAThe sisters are co-CEOs. So far the sisters have sold more than 10,000 T-shirts. Fle
39、xin in My Complexion has done more than make money for the sisters. It has also helped Rogers become confident. When she was being bullied, Rogers says she would come home from school upset.“I would always come home crying; I would just have tears coming down my face,” she says. “My confidence is pr

Therefore, it is necessary for school cafet
43、erias(食堂) to provide healthy food. With this in mind, the government has introduced a new food safety regulation that will improve health levels in schools.The new regulation took effect on April 1. It requires those who are in charge of kindergartens, primary and secondary schools to eat with stude
44、nts in their cafeterias. Schools will also be required to make information regarding food sources and suppliers public.The regulation also suggests that parents should eat with students at school in order to provide advice on food safety. Schools must find food safety problems and solve them in a ti
45、mely manner.If a school is caught buying low-quality food or failing to report food safety events, the people in charge of the school will be warned, fired or handed over to law enforcement(执法机关), the regulation says.Parents across China have become increasingly angry about food safety events in sch

They taste good and you dont have to wash them before eating them. However, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050.One reason for this is clima
51、te change. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected data from 27 countries and regions that produce 86 percent of the worlds bananas. They found that climate change has improved growing conditions in 21 of these countries. In the past 60 years the average yield has reached 1.37 tons of banan
52、as per hectare.However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. Ten of the countries, including India, the worlds biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out.Shouldnt bananas grow more easily if its hotter outside? In fact, the perfect
53、temperature range for growing bananas is between 24 and 32. If temperatures get too high, they will stop growing.Another reason for this phenomenon is diseases. Unlike other crops, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings rather than seeds. This means that all banana plants have the same genotyp
54、e. In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plants it could kill them all.One serious disease is called Panama. Caused by fungus（真菌）in the soil, it spreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation suffers from the disease, it w

Every day, about 3000 birds visit his 4-acre farm to eat tasty grains and build their nests away fro
65、m natural enemies. Nicknamed “The Birdman”, Harsukh has spent the last 17 years of his life looking after the birds and transforming his land into a safe place for them. Many people would consider such a large number of birds making a mess outside their windows, but Harsukh couldnt be happier about
66、it. As more birds started visiting him and the limited space on his balcony became a problem, he built a stand(台)out of old pipes and put grains on them, so the birds could eat in comfort. Harsukh and his family used to live in the middle of the city, but as the number of birds visiting them increas
67、ed, they became a problem for the neighbors. In 2012, Harsukh moved to a 4-acre piece of land on the suburbs, where the birds didnt bother anyone. “In my old house, neighbors would get disturbed by the constant chirping(鸣叫声)of birds,” Harsukh said. “Though they would never complain(抱怨), I still thou
68、ght that these birds need space of their own.”Today, about 3,000 birds visit Harsukhs farm several times a day. He and his family have built several stands for them, and make sure to add grains twice a day. Over 1000 birds build their nests on the farm, and have their babies here Harsukh and his fam

72、dsDThe importance of protecting birdsMount Hood is the highest mountain in Oregon, a state in the western United States. At 3, 400 meters it is attractive to many people, some of whom, of course, run into trouble. Each year 25 to 50 people have accidents or get lost on Mount Hood and need rescue（营救）
73、. Although most of these are understandable accidents, a few result from careless risk-taking. In one recent case, three experienced climbers went hiking in the middle of a snowstorm in December. Most hikers climb Mount Hood in May or June when the weather conditions are good. But in December, the m
74、ountain is covered in snow and ice. Winds up to 135 kilometers per hour blow the snow around, making it difficult to see. Temperatures can drop below freezing. As one rescue worker put it, What were they thinking? They were just asking for it. During a rescue a few years ago, a helicopter full of re
75、scue workers crashed and the rescue workers were almost killed. Linda Carle, who lives in the Mount Hood area, asks, If someone made a muddled decision, why should rescue teams have to risk their lives to save them? Why do people take unnecessary risks and do things that arent right if they know tha
76、t they can get into trouble? Most of the Mount Hood rescue workers are either volunteers or part of the local police department There is no charge for these rescues. It is the taxpayers who pay the bill. Linda Carle suggests that people who take careless risks and need rescue should ay for the rescu
77、e. She fees it is only fir that costs for things like damaged helicopters and medical care for rescuers should be paid for by the people who take the risks. What would you do if you were the local police officer at Mount Hood?8What can we learn about Mount Hood?AIt lies in the west of the United Sta

Even so, research shows that teaching handwriting skills has its benefits. However, are the benefits worth sp
81、ending valuable classroom time in teaching handwriting skills when students could be learning more about computer keyboarding（键盘输入）? However, are the benefits worth spending valuable classroom time in teaching handwriting skills when students could be learning more about computer keyboarding（键盘输入）?S
82、tates across the country have good reasons to require students to learn computer keyboarding skills. For one, students are learning a technology that will help them communicate faster with more people and in many different forms, such as e-mails, websites, blogs, and so on. Also, the better a studen
83、ts computer keyboarding skills, the greater the chance that student has to become a better writer. Computer tools such as the grammar and spell check make correcting quick and easy, although not 100% accurate（准确的）. With these and many other tools students gain important computer skills. Furthermore,
84、 students no longer have to worry about their writing being graded poorly by teachers. All in all, computer keyboarding skills are a step in the right direction. Still, the advantages of computer keyboarding skills may not be enough to leave handwriting instruction in the dust. Marlena Hamilton, pro
85、fessor of neurology at University of Pennsylvania, did an experiment with her co-workers to study what happens in students brains when writing. They found that many of the areas of the brain light up. These are the same areas that are used to learn to read. They then wondered if the same would be tr
86、ue when students looked at letters on a keyboard. What we found, she states, is that brains are much less involved when we just view letters. When we actually use our hands to make things, the brain works much harder. Schools across the nation are looking at the evidence and deciding what to do. Wil
87、liam McIntyre, a reading coach at Sunshine Elementary School in Albany, New York, says, What we have learned from the research is that learning handwriting benefits students educationally.
