rt 的情况，选择适合他们的节目。AIt’s about a cooking competition for kids aged
8-13. Kids can show their cooking abilities and love for food. Th
ey compete in many rounds until one becomes the master chef. Thro
ughout their journey, they can get a chance to learn cooking skil
ls from top cooks.BAre there any unexplained things around you? C
ome to MythBusters and follow the hosts Jamie Hyneman and Adam Sa
vage. By using knowledge of maths, physics, and chemistry, they d
esign experiments to find out the reasons for strange or unusual
things.CIf you are planning to enjoy a clean, funny and old-schoo
l show with your family every Sunday, then Full House is the one
to pick. The programme was first put on in 1987. But it still can
bring you a happy memory with your parents now. You can also lea
rn how to get along with members in your family.18. John shows gr
eat interest in maths and physics. He wants to try out what he ha
s learnt in school in his real life.19. Sally’s parents are often
busy with work during the weekdays. She wants to find a TV show
that her whole family can watch on weekends.20. Robert is good at
making meals, but he still hopes to learn to cook some better di
shes for his parents to show his thanks to them.BEveryone knows a
nd feels proud of national heroes and famous leaders. But there a
re those everyday young heroes who just make a difference when th
e need suddenly happens.The yellow school bus is such a known and
important part of childhood. Parents would always tell kids to p
ay more attention of the safety before getting on the bus. The ri
de is the beginning of a weekday and there are no teachers around
. It’s just a time for short sleeps and joking with friends. Stud
ies even show that teenagers aren’t really awake and watchful unt
il around 8:30, when the school bus arrives at the school gate. S
o 13-year-old Jeremy Wuitschick had to be a true hero for saving
the school bus from an accident when other students were sleepy o
r just had small talks.It was a common morning in April 2012. Jer
emy was sitting in his usual place only a few seats from the fron
t when he saw the driver suddenly slump down（倒下）. The bus kept go
ing along the road, but the driver’s hands had left the wheel and
nothing was guiding the school bus.Without thinking, the seventh
grader Jeremy Wuitschick jumped into actions, holding the contro
ls and leading to the side of the road. He couldn’t break the bus
—he couldn’t reach the pedals（脚踏）. But he managed to bring the bu
s to a stop by pulling the keys out. Other kids on the bus dialed
911. And one of Jeremy’s classmates, Johnny Wood, praised himsel
f to be a hero as well, performing CPR（心肺复苏）on the driver until h
elp arrived. Thanked to Jeremy Wuitschick and his classmates’ tim
ely help, the driver and all the students were safe.The dictionar
y meaning of a hero is: “a person of great courage or ability, be
loved for his or her brave actions and unusual qualities.” It is
certain that Jeremy is a young hero by his great courage and quic
k thinking.21. How did Jeremy Wuitschick save lives?A. He warned
all the students to get out of the bus quickly.B. He pulled the k
eys out and managed the car to a safer place.C. He asked the driv
er to stop the car by stepping on the pedals.D. He guided the sch
ool bus with the driver’s hands on the wheel.22. What can you lea
rn from the passage?A. Teachers should be on the school bus.B. Th
e driver fell asleep on that morning.C. Parents like talking on t
he school bus.D. The kids gave different helps for the driver.23.
Why does the writer write this passage?A. To introduce some ways
to meet difficulties.B. To tell the driver the importance of saf
ety.C. To show people the problems of school buses.D. To encourag
e the young to do right actions.CEffective teamwork is an importa
nt part of any group’s success. Building an effective team seems
easy. However, it can be difficult to carry it out and put it int
o practice. A team’s success greatly depends on effective communi
cation, so it is important to develop the necessary skills to com
municate effectively with each other. Most of the managers want t
eam members to feel like they can say out their ideas and feeling
s in an open environment, and the managers also need the workers
to be active listeners who would like to listen to the ideas from
others. Effective communication is the key point in bringing peo
ple together and encouraging them to reach a higher place.In a co
mpany, if the group leader wants to keep the teamwork fire going,
it is a great idea to have weekly meetings. In the meeting, the
group leader can not only see how the members get along with each
other, but also give some opinions about what the members have d
one. If the meeting is held online, the team leader can record th
e video of the meeting. Recording the meeting also means you have
materials to learn from in the future and improve your meetings
if something doesn’t go well. Penny Walker, a manager from a famo
us company, once said, “Make reviewing meetings part of the routi
ne, something you do at the end of every meeting, so that everyon
e can learn how to do it better all the time. Give everyone a cha
nce to say something and put the replies in the note of the meeti
ng so you remember to make improvements next time.”An effective t
eam has cohesion (凝聚力), and all the members need to have some ski
lls in common. First of all, team members need to be willing to g
et to know each other and open up about themselves, so they can r
ealise that they all have different experiences and interests. Th
is helps them to be more open to new ideas and different points.
What’s more, team members need to believe each other enough to be
comfortable with sharing ideas and feelings. In this way, team m
embers learn to be honest and polite to get close to each other.
Thirdly, it is important for the team not to complain when someth
ing goes wrong, but the team members need to find ways to solve t
he problems and learn from the mistake. Helpful reviews and respe
ct from each other will help a team get success much faster.24. W
hy is it important to communicate effectively in a team?A. Becaus
e people can encourage each other.B. Because managers can reach a
higher place.C. Because it can decide the success of a team.D. B
ecause listening is more important than speaking.25. Which is Pen
ny’s suggestion?A. The leader needs to give more useful advice in
the meeting.B. The leader can ask the members to take notes in t
he meeting.C. Team members can improve by reviewing the meeting.D
. Team members may record the meeting for their notes.26. Please
make a mind map for the last paragraph.D①Have you ever heard that
groundhogs can predict（预测） the end of winter? How about that ele
phants never forget things? Or that dogs can smell the strange? T
hat may not be 100% true. However, many animals do have stronger
senses than humans.②Do animals have a sixth sense that can tell t
he future? That may sound out of this world. However, many events
seem to support this idea.③Thousands of years ago, a big earthqu
ake hit Helike, Greece. Buildings were in ruins. Many people were
hurt. But there was something interesting. The city’s animals ac
ted strangely days before the earthquake. Rats and snakes ran fro
m the city in groups. Did they know an earthquake was coming? In
1975, one million people had to leave their hometown, Haicheng, L
iaoning Province with the help of Chinese government. Why? They b
elieved a disaster （ 灾难） was coming. They thought this, in part,
because of animals’ strange behaviours. Just days later, a large
earthquake hit the city. Experts（专家）said 150,000 could have lost
their lives if people stayed in the city at that time. In Decembe
r 2004, the animals of Sri Lanka were acting strange. Elephants r
an around. Dogs wouldn’t go outside. Zoo animals wouldn’t leave t
heir home. Soon after people saw these strange behaviours, a tsun
ami hit the island.④Animals seem to be pretty good at predicting
disasters. But it doesn’t stop there! Some of them even seem to s
ense small changes in the weather before they happen. Bees are kn
own to find places before it rains. Dairy farmers say they can te
ll a big storm is coming when their cows lie down. Cats and dogs
are also said to know when a storm is on its way, as are birds an
d turtles. Can animals really tell the future?⑤Experts say it’s u
nlikely that animals can tell the future. However, they might hea
r or feel the earthquake before people do. Even though scientists
have not proved animals have the ability to predict disasters be
fore they happen and animals’ predictions aren’t always right, it
’s not bad to pay attention to the animals.27. According to the p
assage, we know many animals ________.A. can tell the future in d
ifferent waysB. have better sense abilities than humansC. act str
angely after some natural disastersD. use the sixth sense to pred
ict earthquakes28. The word “behaviours” in Paragraph 3 probably
means “________”.A. actionsB. senses C. ideas D. changes29. What’
s Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. Animals are good at helping farmers
.B. Animals are good at finding their homes.C. Animals seem to kn
ow the future problems.D. Animals seem to know the weather change
s.30. Which of the following would be the best title for the pass
age?A. Can Animals Predict the Future?B. Do Animals Have Stronger
Senses?C. How Do Animals Save People’s Life?D. What Are Animals’
Ways to Tell the Future?五、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（31-33 每题2 分，34 题4 分，共

lude（包含）100 percent fruit juice and low-fat milk. Sugary drinks s
hould be limited or excluded from the meals completely as they pr
ovide more sugar and empty calories.Get Enough SleepAccording to
the scientists, teenagers need at least nine hours of sleep each
night. Teens should also have at least an hour of “quiet time” be
fore bedtime. The goal is for all phones or computers to be turne
d off for the night so that the brains and bodies can get relaxed
. Quiet time activities may include listening to soft music or re
ading a book.31. How many kinds of fruits and vegetables does a t
