 阅读下面材料, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

①There is a saying," You are what you eat." How about, you are what you read? Many people believe reading can shape your identity(身份).

②Your identity is who or what you are and what you do. Books, magazines or even websites you often read or visit change the way you think and what you believe in, then decide the things you do.

③For example, an 8- year- old boy has read that throwing rubbish about is polluting and killing the earth, then he will believe it is bad and won't do it again. This is the message he' ll share with the people around him. And they will see him as someone who loves the earth. This becomes part of his identity—— an earth- lover.

④Research has shown that reading also changes the way you interact with (相互影响) people around you. Reading stories helps you imagine and understand situations and others better. You will be more open- minded, less self- centered and more caring. People may see you as someone who is warm- hearted, and that becomes part of your identity.

⑤It is important to read as it can shape your identity. Reading different kinds of books can help you become what you want to be. Read biographies(传记) of people who encourages you if you want to be more like them. If you want to be a creative writer, read more fiction books. If you want to be a songwriter, read more poetry!

⑥So, go on! Pick up a book today and read! A new YOU is waiting for you!

 根据短文内容和所给中文提示, 在空白处写出单词的正确形式, 每空限填一词。

 After the success of the movie Hi, Mom, Jia Ling returned with a new one—YOLO. It quickly became very popular {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (在…中) movie lovers.

 The movie told the story of a woman called Du Leying. As we could see in the movie, she found it hard to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (处理) with problems in daily life. So she felt {#blank#}3{#/blank#} .(孤单的) and lived a terrible life at the beginning. After finishing college, Leying didn't join any {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (社会的) activities and chose to stay at home. Without any jobs, she had to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (依靠) on her parents. The situation didn't change until she met {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(数个) heart-breaking things. To fight against the problems, she made a {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (决定) to join the professional boxing competition and tried to lose weight. Finally, Leying not only {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (成功) in losing weight but also developed her confidence and got her life normal.

 Since it came out, the movie has received millions of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (迷) for its touching stories. As Jia Ling explained, the movie was not about losing weight but reminded us how to find ourselves and love ourselves in our {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (全部的) life.

 阅读下列短文,从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Scientists once did an interesting study. They put a mother in one place. They put her two-year-old child in another place. There was a telephone line between them. Soon, the mother and child were talking to each other. The mother and child, in this science study. were dolphins.

Dolphins are interesting animals. Many types of dolphins live in large ties. They have many different relationships and need a good communication system That explains why they need to speak up.

Scientists have known for a long time that animals can "talk" with each other. But dolphins have a special way of talking When they are in a group, they mainly use different sounds to express purposes. Scientists believe that the dolphins really are talking. However, they don't know what exactly the dolphins are saying.

Recently at Kewalo University in Hawaii, researchers have had some amazing results. Not only do the dolphins understand the meaning of human words, they also understand the importance of word order. For example, when they were asked to "touch the ball with your tail and then jump over it", they could perform the actions in the correct order.

Dolphins use body language, too. They "tell" something to another dolphin by moving their body in a special way. They also do it by opening and closing their mouths quickly.

Scientists hope to understand more about the dolphin language. They still have a lot to find out about these animals and so there are certain to be a few surprises in the future.
