44、markingsBWe once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class.“You could win prizes,” our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing, “The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the
45、 words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster.” We studied the board critically. Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard, rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or ch
46、ewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that ten-dollar grand prize, each and every one of us. “Im going to spend mine on candies,” one hopeful would announce, while another practiced looking serious, wise and rich. Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of tho
47、se fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of us used big designs, and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the space draw the viewers attention to it. Some of us would wander past the good students desks a
48、nd then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grownup trick of the sort they seemed especially fond of, making all of us believe we had a fair chance, and then always-always-rewarding the same old winners. I believe I drew a sailboat, but I cant say that
49、 with any certainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen, and then I turned it in. Minutes passed. No one came along to give me the grand prize, and then someone distracted me, and I probably never would have thought about that poster again.
50、I was still sitting at my desk, thinking, what poster? when the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.76. What was the teachers requirement for the poster?A. It must appear in time.B. It must be done in class.C. It must be done on a const

After seeing the good students designs, some students _.A. loved their own designs moreB. thought they had a fair chanceC. put their own designs in a cornerD. thought they would not win the prize80. We can infer
53、 from the passage that the author _.A. enjoyed grownup tricks very muchB. loved poster competitions very muchC. felt surprised to win the competitionD. became wise and rich after the competitionCHomemade Soup May Fight MalariaA new study suggests that some homemade soups made of chicken, beef or veg
54、etables might help fight malaria.Jake Baum of the Imperial College London led the research. He asked children at a London school to bring in homemade clear soups that their families would make to treat a fever. The children were from many different cultural backgrounds.The soups were then exposed to
55、 the parasite（寄生虫） that creates 99.7 percent of malaria cases in Africa, the World Health Organization, WHO, explained.Of the 56 soups tested, five were more than 50 percent effective in containing the growth of the parasite. Two were as effective as one drug now used to treat malaria. And four soup
56、s were more than 50 percent effective at preventing parasites from aging to the point that they could infect mosquitoes that spread the disease. Baum also noted that it was unclear which foods made the soups effective against malaria.The soups came from families from different ethnic histories, incl
57、uding Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. They had several main ingredients, including chicken, beef and green vegetables. Baum said the vegetarian soups showed similar results to the soups with meat.Baum said his aim was in part to show children that scientific research can turn an herbal cur
58、e into a man-made medicine. He noted the research of Dr. Tu Youyou of China. In the 1970s, she found that the herb quinhao was an effective antimalarial treatment. The herb has been used in Eastern medicine for two thousand years. Tus research led to the man-made drug artemisinin（青蒿素）, a drug now wi
59、dely used to treat malaria. She won the Nobel Prize in 2015.More and more people are becoming resistant to the drugs that treat the disease, which kills about 400,000 people a year. That means scientists will have to look beyond chemistry and find new drugs, Baum adds.81. What do we know about the r
60、esearch led by Jake Baum?A. 50% of the soups tested proved to be effective in killing the parasite.B. Half of the soups tested show oppositive effect in stopping mosquitoes from spreading the disease.C. A few of the soups tested can be seen as effective against malaria, yet what in soup that works i
61、s not known.D. The vegetarian soups and the soups with meat work similarly but in different aspects.82. The soups came from the following ethnic histories EXCEPT _.A. East Asia B. the Middle East C. North Africa D. Europe83. Why does Baum take Dr. Tu Youyou as an example?A. To show her great achieve
62、ment in treating malaria through hard work.B. To note artemisinin she found in the herb quinhao, an herb used in Chinese medicine for 2000 years.C. To show kids science research can develop an herbal cure into a man-made medicine. D. To stress the most important use of quinhao in treating malaria in
63、 Eastern medicine.84. How serious is malaria in the world?A. It is out of control in Africa.B. It kills less than half a million people every year.C. It is becoming resistant to most of the drugs used now.D. It caused 99.7% the deaths in the whole world.85. What is scientists task next？A. To collect
64、 more soups to get the most effective ones.B. To research into the ingredients of the soups gathered. C. To find out the most effective elements in the soups. D. To expand their studies and get new antimalarial medicines. D“A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right,” say
65、s Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She firmly believes that there is always and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is. In Mollies opinion it is necessary to make full use
66、 of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing. “If you arent telling a story, youre a very dead writer indeed,” she says. With the chief function of a writer being to entertain, Mollie is indeed an entertainer. “I have this great love of not only the meaning
67、 of language but of the music of language,” she says. “This love goes back to early childhood. Ive told stories all my life. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them, I said I wante
68、d to work with dogs, and the teacher always said Nonsense, Mollie, dear, youll be a writer. So finally I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer.”This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Ch
69、ariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical and gives a picture both of Mollies ambition and her struggle towards its achievement. Thoughts of her childhood inevitably brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows and strawbe
70、rry fields-sadly now covered with modern houses. “I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. Ill never go back,” she said. “Never.” “When I set one of my books in Scotland,” she said, “I can recall my romantic feelings as a child playing in t
71、hose fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work. And thats important, because children now know so much so early that romance cant exist for them, as it did for us.”86. What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book?A. It should not aim at a narrow audience.B. It should be attr
72、active to young readers.C. It should be based on original ideas.D. It should not include too much conversation.87. In Mollie Hunters opinion, which of the following is one sign of a poor writer?A. Being poor in life experience.B. Being short of writing skills.C. The weakness of description.D. The ab
73、sence of a story.88. What do we learn about Mollie Hunter as a young child?A. She didnt expect to become a writer at first.B. She didnt enjoy writing stories.C. She didnt have any particular ambitions.D. She didnt respect her teachers views.89. In comparison with children of earlier years, Mollie fe
74、els that modern children are .A. more intelligentB. better informedC. less eager to learnD. less interested in reality90. Whats the writers purpose in this text?A. To describe Mollie Hunters most successful books.B. To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunters books.C. To introduce Mollie Hunters work t
75、o a wider audience.D. To provide information for Mollie Hunters existing readers.ESome houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart designs. An example of the second type of house won an Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects. Located on the shore of Sullivans Island off
76、 the coast of South Carolina, the award-winning cube-shaped beach house was built to replace one smashed to pieces by Hurricane Hugo 10 years ago. In September 1989, Hugo struck South Carolina, killing 18 people and damaging or destroying 36,000 homes in the state. Before Hugo, many new houses built
77、 along South Carolinas shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement of building codes wasnt strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. In Hugos wake, all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, better-enforced codes. The new beach house
78、on Sullivans Island should be able to withstand a Category 3 hurricane with peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour. At first sight, the house on Sullivans Island looks anything but hurricane-proof. Its redwood shell makes it resemble “a large party lantern” at night, according to one observer.
79、 But looks can be deceiving. The houses wooden frame is reinforced with long steel rods to give it extra strength. To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilingslong, slender columns of wood anchored deep in the sand. Pilings might appe
80、ar insecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also elevate the house above storm surges. The pilings allow the surges to run under the house instead of running into it. “These swells of water come ashore at tremendous speeds and cause most of the damage done to bea
81、ch-front buildings,” said Huff. Huff designed the timber pilings to be partially concealed by the houses ground-to-roof shell. “The shell masks the pilings so that the house doesnt look like its standing with its pant legs pulled up,” said Huff. In the event of a storm surge, the shell should break
82、apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architect explained. 91. After the tragedy caused by Hurricane Hugo, new houses built along South Carolinas shore line are required _. A. to be designed in the shape of cubes B. to meet stricter building standards C. to look smarter in design D. to b
83、e easily reinforced92. The award-winning beach house is quite strong because _. A. it is made of redwood B. it is in the shape of a shell C. it is strengthened by steel rods D. it is built with timber and concrete 93. Huff raised the house 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings in order to _. A
84、. prevent water from rushing into the house B. withstand peak winds of about 200 km/hr. C. anchor stronger pilings deep in the sand D. break huge sea waves into smaller ones 94. The main function of the shell is _.A. to strengthen the pilings of the house B. to give the house a better appearance C. to protect the wooden frame of the house D. to slow down the speed of the swelling water 95. It can be inferred from the passage that the shell should be _. A. easily breakable B. fancy-looking C. extremely strong D. waterproof
