阅读理解

    There are all kinds of animals on our planet. Some are sweet, but some are not; some are small, and some are tall. Here are four pictures of some of the funniest, friendliest faces. But remember, although they look nice, it doesn't mean they are always friendly.

    Not all dogs are so cute, but most of them are pretty friendly. When you come near an unfamiliar(不熟悉的) dog, remember to hold out your hand, so he can smell you and see that you mean no harm.

    Cows love to eat grass, and they eat quite a lot! You needn't be afraid of this quiet farm animal. But don't run at a cow in a field or touch one, unless you are told by an adult it's okay.

    Horses are big, beautiful animals, but they can be easily angry. A horse might jump up if she hears a loud noise, or kick her legs if you come near too suddenly. All horses, like humans, are different.

    Chimpanzees(黑猩猩) make funny faces and put on a real show at the zoo, but believe it or not, they can be very dangerous. And they are strong too--much stronger than humans--so you should never make a chimp mad!

(1)、Which of the animals can make faces?
A、Cows. B、Chimpanzees. C、Dogs. D、Horses.
(2)、We can learn from the text that        .
A、cows are quiet B、all dogs are cute C、horses never kick D、chimpanzees are not dangerous
(3)、According to the passage, you should         when you come near an unfamiliar dog.
A、feed him something B、shout at him C、touch his head D、hold out your hand
(4)、The author wants to tell us that      .
A、some animals are sweet, but they are small B、some animals are not sweet, but they are tall C、some animals are funny, but they are not beautiful D、some animals look nice, but they are not always friendly
举一反三
    Is there intelligent (有智力的) life on other planets? For years, scientists said “no.” or “we don't know.” But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers(天文学家). They believe intelligent life exists (存在) somewhere in the universe. They also think we sill soon contact these beings(人;生物).
    Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. “This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life,” say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size—the universe is huge. “Tools like the Hubble Telescope(哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies,” says Shostak. “And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth.”
    In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes(高倍望远镜) allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or Earth—in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life.
    Have beings from space already visited Earth? “Probably not,” says Shostak. “It's a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other way, such as radio signals(信号). In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don't have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025, we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other.”

下面文章中有五处(第71—75题)需要添加首句。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合意思的首句。选项中有一项是多余选项。

We can often read interesting "facts" about space online. However,some of them are wrong. The following are some common myths(荒诞说法) about space.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Many people believe the afternoon sun is yellow. However, the light it gives out is white. The earth's atmosphere(大气层) makes the sun appear yellow and the sky appear blue.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} In fact, all the asteroids (小行星) together weigh only about four percent of the moon. That's why scientists are excited when they happen to see even one asteroid crashing(碰撞) into another.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} It all depends on where you believe space begins above the earth. From the International Space Station(ISS), you can see the Great Wall and many other man-made buildings. From the moon, you can't see any buildings, but you may see some city lights.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Sometimes, the moon looks very close. It seems like you can almost touch it. In fact, the moon is about 385,000 kilometres away from the earth.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Copernicus came up with this idea as early as 1543, but in fact the universe is bigger than we think. So there is no centre of the universe and everywhere in the universe can be the centre.

A. The sun is the centre of the universe.

B. The moon is very close to the earth.

C. The sun is yellow.

D. The asteroid belt is dangerous.

E. People can only see the Great Wall from space.

F. Solar system is the only system in the universe.

 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

It is normal to feel a bit nervous about exams, especially if you're under pressure from school or family. Exam stress can cause you to feel nervous or depressed, and this might influence your sleeping or eating habits. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Here are some things you can do.

Open up to others

Firstly, let your trusted friends and family know if you're having a hard time. They can be there to support you, encourage you and offer good advice. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Keeping it all to yourself will only make things worse, so don't be afraid to open up.

Learn to get help

Secondly, think about all the practical support you need, and be honest with yourself about it. You are allowed to ask for help. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Tell your teachers about your worries. They may have talked to lots of students who are going through similar things. so they can give you some helpful advice.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

One more thing you can do is to be proud of yourself. Think about all the things you have achieved so far. It can be helpful to write lots of things you like about yourself, and the things other people value about you, too.

Do breathing exercise

Deep breath can help relax us in both mind and body. We can breathe deeply through our nose, then blow slowly through our mouth. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

If you follow the things above, I'm sure you will never be worried about exams.

A.Sleeping for a long time is no use to your worries.

B.Your teachers are a good choice.

C.You don't have to go through all the worries alone.

D.If you have any of these feelings or worries about exam pressure, you are not alone.

E.Unluckily, we can't get lots of help from our teachers.

F.This can be a useful way to help you relaxed and less stressed.

G.Take pride in yourself.
