      According to scientists' research, the month in which babies are born could affect them in some ways.
       Babies born in spring get sick easily. Children born under Aquarius may be less clever than those born in other seasons. They may also have shorter lives than those born in autumn  Scientists believe many of the differences can be explained by the mother's exposure to sunlight in pregnancy(怀孕).  Sunlight helps lead to the production of Vitamin D in the body. The lack of this in the first months of life may have a bad effect on mental and physical health.
         Vitamin D, called the "sunshine vitamin", is known to help regulate(调节) thousands of genes during development, according to a study of more than two million people. So Vitamin D has a good effect on health  This study showed that people born from April to June had slightly shorter lives than those born in October, November or December. Similar studies in the USA showed that people born in autumn lived about 160 days longer than those born in spring.
        Professor Russell Foster, an Oxford University neuroscientist on seasonal biology, said the conclusions were surprising and interesting. He added, "These are small effects but they are very, very clear. I am not giving voice to star signs and they are just for fun. But it is true that we are affected by our season of birth."

(1)、A baby's season of birth doesn't affect its_______.

A、health B、height C、length of life D、mind
(2)、According to the passage,_______ can help people get Vitamin D.

A、enough sleep    B、enough sunlight    C、fresh air       D、suitable seasons
(3)、Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A、People born in spring may not be in good health. B、Children born under Aquarius are cleverer than those born under Libra. C、Professor Russell Foster is interested in star signs and believes in them D、People born in May will live longer than those born in October.
(4)、What does the passage mainly tell us?

A、People can know the length of life by star sign. B、Women should choose to give birth to children in spring. C、A child's season of birth has some effect on him or her. D、Vitamin D is very important to people's health.

    “High tech” and “state of the art” are two expressions that describe very modern technology. High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technology describes any invention or system that uses the newest ideas or discoveries of science and engineering.
    What is high tech? A computer is high tech. So is a communications satellite. A modern manufacturing  (制造业的)  system is surely high tech.
High tech became a popular expression in the United States during the early 1980's. Because of improvements in technology, people could buy many new kinds of products in American stores, such as home computers, microwave ovens (微波炉), etc. “State of the art” is something that is as modern as possible. It is a product that is based on the very latest ways and technology. Something that is “state of the art” is the newest possible design or product of a business or industry. A state of the art television set, for example, uses the most modern electronic design and parts. It is the best that one can buy.
    “State of the art” is not a new expression. Engineers have used it for years, to describe the best and most modern way of doing something.
Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970's. The reason was the computer revolution(革命). Every computer company claimed (声称) that its computers were “state of the art”.
    Computer technology changes so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow. The expression “state of the art” has become as common and popular as computers themselves. Now all kinds of products are said to be “state of the art”.

    Language students often think they have memory problems. They worry because they can't remember words. In fact, the problem usually isn't with their memory. The problem is with how they study.

    To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. When you see, hear, or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. And like a library, it's organized (有条理的). When you put away a book – or memory – you can't just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again.

    How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better, you can invent a little story about the word, with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is height, you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meaning of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it.

Why does the Sky Change Colours?

What is the sky? How high is it? What colour is it? What birds can live above it? These questions are difficult to answer, aren't they?

In fact, the sky has no colour. Then why does the sky look blue?

We know that there is air around the world. When planes fly, they need air to lift their wings (机翼). Planes can't fly very high. That's because the air gets thinner when they go higher. The same will happen to us if we go high enough. If we go up about 1,000 kilometres from the earth, we'll find no air there. Some birds can fly into the sky as high as a plane, but they cannot fly or live without air.

Looking up above us, you will see the blue sky with white clouds. It is usually light blue. The colour will be bluer when you see on the top of a high mountain. And you will see fewer clouds in the sky between you and the sun.

Sometimes the sky doesn't look blue. When the sun rises or falls, you will see red, orange, and other colours in the sky. Such are the most beautiful moments of the day.

Who can see the colours of the sky high above the earth? The astronauts! They can see those beautiful colours of the sky from outer space. However, before flying into outer space, they sit in a spaceship high above the earth, and there is no air at all. The sky will be that dark and its colour will be black.

Now you may understand that we see colours because the air scatters (使散射) the sunlight. Light travels through the air. Without air, there would be no light or colours.

 B. 阅读下面短文, 根据所给汉语意思或首字母提示写出单词的正确形式。每空限填一词。

Is there anyone around you wearing a horse- faced skirt? It is a {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(典型) kind of hanfu clothing. It is now so welcomed both at home and a{#blank#}2{#/blank#}, like America, England and so on. 

On March 6, a Douyi n {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (报道) showed an amazing result. Researchers c{#blank#}4{#/blank#} the order for horse- faced skirts with that of the past year, it went up by 841 percent. 

As hanfu becomes popular, traditional and modern fashions(时尚) are coming {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(朝;向) us together. This has changed not only clothing styles, but also people's cultural ideas. 

Some hanfu lovers think it's {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (完美) that each design(设计) of hanfuhas its own cultural meaning while other buyers consider style and comfort more important. 

Zhou Shuang, 37, designs character clothes for film and television. She said that for those who don't know much about traditional clothing, it's understandable that they want to mix ancient {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (美) and modern fashion. This is known as the neo- Chinese style. " Neo- Chinese style is a great s{#blank#}8{#/blank#} that wins so many people's heart. It puts together modernity and tradition naturally, " said Zhou. 

" I r{#blank#}9{#/blank#} that there are so many people wearing horse- faced skirts on the streets, from young women to children. It's {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (难以置信). " said Wang Zicheng, a 23- year- old hanfu lover.

Why do children play with rabbit lanterns during the Lantern Festival?

Chinese people celebrate the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month(阴历月份), which is in the 1 of the month and marks the full moon. It's held to celebrate the first 2 moon of the year. It also 3 the end of the Spring Festival holiday. In 2025, the Lantern Festival is on 12th February. 

One of this day's important 4 is watching lanterns. The lanterns come in many sizes, colours and shapes. Making and watching lanterns are important things to do 5 the festival. There are usually riddles(谜语) on the lanterns. People need to guess the right answers of 6 . "7 lantern riddles"is another important activity of the festival. 

Children go out with paper lanterns when the night 8 during the Lantern Festival. Rabbit lanterns with wheels(轮子) are fun for 9 . Children can pull them along from place to place. Children will hold self-made lanterns to 10 through the streets excitedly. 

Why do people prefer rabbits? Some people say rabbits are 11 animals. The rabbit lanterns can bring children good luck. What's more, in old Chinese 12 , there is a jade rabbit(玉兔) living on the moon. So 13 are a big part of the festival as well. 

Till today, the Lantern Festival is still held each 14 around our country. People like eating sweet dumplings, also known as yuanxiao. Eating them has a special meaning:15 and happiness for the family. People always have a good time on that day!

 阅读短文 从下面每题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

①What will you do if you see a cockroaeh(蟑螂) ? Quite a few people are very afraid of it, so they may shout for help or try to kill it. Next time you see it, you may need to think twice before killing it.

②There were cockroaches on the earth long ago, and many people believe that they will still be here long after all the people leave it. Cockroaches are small in size, and they are good at climbing and jumping. A cockroach can live for about a week without a head. These make them great helpers during the search and rescue missions(搜救任务).

③Alper heads up led a scientist team at North Carolina Stage University. "I joined the search and rescue missions in Turkey in 1999, "he said. "One of the most difficult problems was to find where the living people were. We needed to find them in a short time, but there was no useful way to help us at that time. "So Alper and his team had the idea of turning cockroaches into special robots.

④Scientists put a small sensor(传感器) and a smart camera on a cockroach's back. Cockroaches climb everywhere with them, With a sensor and the camera, cockroaches can tell people from other things, and then find where the missing people are. In this way, more people can be saved in time.

⑤All in all, the scientists hope these special cockroach robots will be used for more work over the next five years. "We never thought we would see the day, but here we are!"a scientist said.
