Faraday was the inventor of the electric generator (發(fā)電機(jī))and the electric motor.
Faraday's father suffered from long-time health problems. As a result,Faraday's family had little money and Faraday got only the least formal schooling. Actually,he sometimes had only enough to eat.But Faraday was curious and determined to learn. everything he could get his hands on.Thus Faraday soon educated himself on a variety of scientific subjects,and his life as a scientist began.
In 1812，F(xiàn)araday attended four lectures at the Royal Institution given by a famous chemist named Humphrey Davy. Afterwards Faraday sent a letter to Davy,expressing a strong interest in the subjects covered in the lectures and offering his services as a helper.A year later,Davy accepted Faraday as his lab assistant. Davy also took Faraday with him on an 18- month
tour of Europe, where Faraday met some of the most famous scientist ay. Thanks to his work with Davy, Faraday gained a complete scientific education. He soon began to do research and experiments with electricity. He constructed two machines to create electromagnetic rotation (電磁旋轉(zhuǎn))，the force used to power electric motors. Apart from helping Davy mostly, Faraday began to appear on his own as a chemist and scientist of great importance. He began to give frequent lectures. Soon he was accepted as a gifted lecturer and published many research papers.
When Davy retired in 1827, Faraday took his place as the head of the chemistry department of the Royal Institute. Upon accepting the position he could focus on his own research, and Faraday’s best-known work began in the 1830s.

In the mid-1850s，as Faraday gradually lost the ability to take care of himself, he was forced to retire from his scientific studies.

People from Britain and Ireland first came to live in Australia in 1788. They brought different dialects (方言)of English with them. These diffirent kinds of English began to mix and change. The newcomers soon began to speak with their own typical accent and vocabulary. More and more people came to Australia during the Gold Rush in the 19th and 20th centuries. Some came from Britain and Ireland; others came from non-English speaking countries, Australian English continued to grow and change.
Australian English has also been influenced by American English. During the Second World War, there were many American soldiers staying in Australia. More importantly, American television shows and music have been popular in Australia since the 1950s.
Australians use many words that other English speakers do not use. The famous Australian greeting, for example, is G’day! A native forest is called the bush and central Australia is called the outback. Many words were brought to Australia from Britain and Ireland. For example, mate means “friend”，and it is still used in Britain, Some of these words have changed in meaning. Some words have come from Australian original languages, many of which are names for animals, plants and places, like dingo and kangaroo.
Australian spelling comes from British spelling. In words like organise and realise, -ise is the expected and taught spelling method- In words like colour, favourite, -our is the normal, but nouns such as the Labor Party and Victor Harbor are spelled with -or. Program, on the other hand, is more common than programme.
There are also differences in the definition (定義)of words Australians use in different parts of the country. For example, football means “rugby” in New South Wales and Queensland, but “Australian rules football” in everywhere else in Australia. In New South Wales，a swimming costume is called a cossie or swimmers, while in Queensland it is called togs and bathers in Victoria.

Next time you raise an eyebrow at the views of your partner, friend, brother, sister or colleague, remember they could be helping to make you smarter. New research shows that intelligence (智力)is not fixed but can be improved throughout adulthood by family members, bright mates and intellectually challenging careers. The study challenges the commonly held belief that intelligence is fixed by the age of about 18.
Scientific consensus (共識(shí))suggests intelligence is controlled by genes, with environmental factors (因素)such as schooling and nutrition playing a part up to this age. After this point, IQ scores remain unchanged. But James Flynn, professor at the University of Otago in New Zealand, argues that people can “upgrade” their intelligence throughout their lives. He believes intellectual stimulation (刺激)from other people is important as the “brain seems to be rather like a muscle — the more you use it, the stronger it gets”. So people who share a home or workplace with the intellectually challenged risk seeing their IQ levels nosedive as a result.
Professor Flynn analyzed US intelligence tests from the last 65 years and created new jq “age tables，' He found a bright ten-year-old with brothers and sisters of average intelligence will suffer a five to ten point IQ disadvantage compared to a similar child with equally bright brothers and sisters. However, children with a low IQ could gain six to eight points by having brighter brothers and sisters and special educational treatment to help pull them up.
Professor Flynn concluded that although genetics and early life experiences determine about 80% of intelligence, the remaining 20% is linked to lifestyle. This means people can
their IQ, or allow it to fall, by ten points or more.
He suggests 出e ^est way to improve IQ levels is to socialize with bright friends, and find an intellectually challenging job.
67.According to the text, it is commonly believed that .
A. people s IQ levels fall when they get old
B.11 is wise to share family members，views
C. people cannot improve their intelligence during adulthood
D. doing something challenging is good for one's intelligence
68. Which of following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “nosedive” in Paragr3ph
A.Rise. B. Develop. C. Change. D. Fall.
69. Which of the following can help improve one's intelligence according to Professor Flynn?
A.Making many friends. B.Staying with smart people.
C.Doing exercise every day.D.Learning from brothers or sisters.
70. What can we learn from the passage?
A. You will become smarter as time goes on.
B. You still have the chance to become smarter after 18.
C. You are likely to become smarter by doing different jobs.
D. You are surely smarter at the age of 35 than at the age of 18.

Dear Susan,
I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble adapting to your new school life in America, but this situation can be easily changed if you take my advice.
Firstly, you are supposed to devote yourself to English, which can enable you to get more opportunities to communicate with others. Secondly, making some close friends really makes a great difference to your feeling, as friendship can help you forget your own loneliness without feeling distant. Thirdly, it will be a good idea if you take an active part in various after-class activities, which will help to make your life more colourful and interesting. I firmly believe by doing so, you will have a cheerful state of mind and be happier with your new life soon.
I hope you will find these ideas useful.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

(Text 8)
W: John, when you were little, what did you dream you’d grow up to be?
M: Oh, I dreamed that I’d be a pilot when I grew up.
W: So what happened? Did you just lose interest in being a pilot?
M: No. My parents said it was too dangerous, and they wanted me to find a safer job. How about you? What did you dream of becoming when you were a little girl?
W: When I was a little girl, I dreamed of being a great scientist, but now, as you can see, I’m just a common office clerk.
M: So what are your dreams now?
W: Well, I really want to be a translator some day, so I’m working hard to learn English.
M: You’re so good at language learning. Your French and Italian are already fluent. Well, I hope you succeed in that dream some day!
(Text 9)
W: Hi, Bob! I am so glad that you came.
M: Of course I’d come. I couldn’t think of a better chance to see all my old friends.
W: It’s hard to believe that it’s been ten years since graduation.
M: How time flies! How are things going with you?
W: It’s only recently that I’ve been able to start settling down. How about you? Are you still with Jenny?
M: Yeah, Jenny and I got married right after graduation. It was hard for the first three years—I was supporting us both while she continued her studies—but now things are getting better. I work as a manager in a trade company and she’s working at a law firm. It’s all started to come together and we’re finally able to make a life for ourselves.
W: Oh, that sounds wonderful. I have always known you two would make it. I hope I can keep in better contact with you.
M: Definitely! Actually, we just moved into a new place. There’s a house-warming party this Saturday, if you are free? I know Jenny would love to see you again and it should be a good party.
W: Sounds great! I am free this weekend and I’ll be there.

Bill gates, an American inventor, computer programmer and businessman, is reportedly worth nearly$80 billion, making him one of the wealthiest people in the country today. He founded and was head of Microsoft for years.
Gates was born to a rich family in the state of Washington. His father was a lawyer, his mother was a banker. He is famous for being taken as the father of modern computer. He studies at Harvard University but did not graduate because of his desire to develop new software.
As a 13-year-old student, Gates was introduced to computer programming. In 1975, Gates spoke to a company called Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems (MITS). He convinced the owner of the company that he had written a program that would work well and make big money. The owner bought into Gates’ inventions, and the two men reached an agreement to develop software for the company. Then the Microsoft Company was born.
Gates went on to develop the Windows operating system with their partner IBM. The two companies had differences though, and their partnership ended quickly. Gates worked as CEO until 2000. He remained active with the company for several years before leaving the company in 2008. In 2014, Bill Gates became the technical advisor of the firm.

In 1921, long before the Walt Disney Company turned Pooh (維尼熊) into an international star of TV and films, Christopher Robin Milne was given a toy bear on his first birthday from his father, A.A. Milne, who bought the stuffed (填充的) animal from a store. The stuffed animal was named Edward Bear. Years later, Edward was named Winnie. From the time Christopher Robin Milne was a baby until he was about 8 years old, he would receive different stuffed animals.
A.A. Milne was a famous English author. As he watched his son interact (互動(dòng)) with Winnie and friends, A.A. Milne thought his child’s interaction with the collection of animals would make a great bedtime story. So Milne worked with artist Ernest H. Shepard and wrote the first Winnie the Pooh poem, where Edward Bear was known as “Teddy Bear”. The writings appeared in Punch magazine and in the book they wrote together, When We Were Very Young, which was published in 1924. In a four-year period, three more books that centered on the bear and his team followed: 1926’s Winnie-the-Pooh; 1927’s Now We Are Six; and 1928’s The House at Pooh Corner.
The books and poems about Pooh brought great success to the author, and the characters became favorites with young children and their families around the world. Their popularity led Disney to get the rights to make films about the characters in 1961. Five years later, Pooh, Tigger, Piglet and the rest of the team appeared on screen for the first time in Winnie-the-Pooh and the Honey Tree. The characters later appeared in TV shows, movies, video games and short films. Pooh’s most recent appearance came last year in the popular children’s program, Doc McStuffins, where he was a special guest.
4. What do we know about Edward Bear?
A. It was just a birthday gift for a baby. B. It was a popular toy bear among kids.
C. It was an international star of many films. D. It was given to Christopher when he was 8.
5. What did A.A. Milne do according to Paragraph 2?
A. He wrote many books about Pooh. B. He read many bedtime stories to his son.
C. He wrote 5 books with Ernest H. Shepard. D. He encouraged his son to play with friends.
6. Why did Pooh appear in Doc McStuffins?
A. To meet a guest in this program. B. To be a special part of this program.
C. To show it is also a popular program. D. To make its new film known to people.
7. What is the best title of the text?

Gardening is popular in many parts of the world. This outdoor activity gives us beautiful plants, pleasant smelling flowers and fresh fruits and vegetables. But it also does a lot of good to our health.
Gardening connects people. When you are gardening, you are outdoors. So it is a perfect chance to meet and spend time with your neighbors. Most people love to talk about their hobbies, and gardeners are no different. They usually enjoy showing people what they are growing. And most enjoy sharing advice and stories about their gardens almost as much as sharing flowers and vegetables from their gardens.
Gardening is a great activity for children. It gets them outdoors and off computers, televisions and cell phones. Gardening is also a great teacher. It can teach a child about where food comes from and healthy eating. It also helps them to understand that the natural resources (資源) are not inexhaustible and the importance of using them carefully.
Then, when you garden, you must move around. All the different movements needed for gardening, like bending and lifting, work small muscles (肌肉) in the body. And you can easily get good exercise when you are digging holes or pulling grasses.
In a study, researches looked at more than 2,800 people over the age of 60. They studied their lifestyle habits, activities and health over a 16-year period. They found that gardening could lower the risk of future dementia (癡呆) by 36%. Gardening requires people do many repeated actions, such as picking off dying flowers. These actions have a calming influence on the brain. The brain is still active but not in the same way when we use computers.
You’ll feel wonderful when what you grow in a garden looks, smells, feels and tastes good.
12. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
A. Gardeners don’t feel lonely. B. Gardeners are fond of sharing.
C. Gardeners have many hobbies. D. Gardeners care about the environment.
13. What does the underlined word “inexhaustible” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Useless. B. Special. C. Endless. D. Cheap.
14. What is the study used to show?
A. Gardening is popular with the old. B. Gardening is good for health.
C. Gardening can be a tiring activity. D. Gardening is better than playing computers.
15. What’s the purpose of the text?
A. To show how to garden. B. To encourage us to garden.

Many people think that English writing is difficult. ___16___ Here are some great writing tips that will help you improve your writing in a short time.

The solution (解決辦法) to this problem is to increase your vocabulary. ___19___ You can do this by reading the local newspapers daily, borrowing books from the library or watching English programs.
Don’t write when you are tired. Tiredness can lead to nothing to write. If you find yourself looking at a blank piece of paper with nothing to write, don’t just sit there! Take a walk or a warm shower, or simply lie down to get some rest. ___20___ You’ll find that you’ll enjoy your writing a lot more and make fewer mistakes!

Last week, we watched an excited basketball match in our school. It is between Grade 1 and Grade 2 students. During a match, the players from all teams played very hard. Grade 2 was a stronger team. However, for our surprise, Grade 1 won at last. The player jumped and hugged to celebrate their success. Just then, the players from the other team that approached and said “Congratulations!” to them. They wore smiles on faces and you couldn’t tell from their expressions that they had lost the match. We were touching by the scene and felt what important a role sport plays in daily life.

Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people would think of Confucius, whose birthday was September 28. Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for his contribution to the education today.
Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn’t give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.
Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.
Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them.”
He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”
Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. “A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others.” he said.
25. Today we still remember Confucius mainly because___________.
A. he lived a poor life in his childhood
B. he had wise thoughts and great views about education
C. he traveled with his students from state to state
D. he lived during the Spring and Autumn Period
26. The underlined word “noble” in Paragraph 3 has the closest meaning to __________.
A. poor B. bright C. wealthy D. cute
27. The correct order of the following statements is __________.
① Confucius worked to help his mother as a child.
?、?Confucius educated about 3,000 students in his lifetime.
?、?Confucius’ father died.
④ Confucius started the first public school in Chinese history.
A. ③①④② B. ②③④① C. ①③②④ D. ④③①②
28. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. All study but no thinking makes people puzzled.
B. No one has something worthy to be learned.
C. All thinking but no study makes people lazy.
D. A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others.[KS5UKS5U.]

We're surrounded by chemistry in everyday life. Sometimes it is easy to see, like when your science teacher conducts a big experiment in class. At other times, it can be extremely hard to see everyday chemistry at work, but nearly everything you touch or use has some element(元素) of chemistry in it.
Something as simple as toothpaste contains at least three chemicals, if not more. It is the mixture of them and its chemical reaction that keeps your teeth clean. Other things you use every day are created by chemistry, such as hair products, shampoo and soap. Adding detergent (洗滌劑) to water involves chemistry. Without chemistry, we would never have realized that we need soap to get the oil out of clothes or skin.
Chemistry not only helps us make products for use, but it also helps us understand the world around us. Chemistry helps us understand what the ozone layer (臭氧層) is and how it protects us. Chemistry also gives us sunscreen to protect us from the sun. Thanks to chemistry, we know bleach (漂白劑) can't be mixed with vinegar, because it can produce poisonous gas. Without chemistry, we wouldn't have had fireworks displays on important days like the Spring Festival.
Chemistry plays a big role in food preparation. Cooking food causes it to go through a chemical change. That is why cooked food often tastes different from raw (生的) food. Baking is a great example of chemistry. Too much or too little of any ingredient makes a difference to the result of baking, for example, the dough (面團(tuán)) won't riseor the cake will be flat.
Chemistry isn't something that just lives in a lab; it's something that you come across hundreds of times every day. If you know how chemistry works, you will have a better understanding of the science behind some of the simplestlooking things.
29. The following actions are about chemistry EXCEPT ________.
A. cleaning teeth with toothpaste B. washing hair with hair products
C. using soap to remove the oil from clothes D. washing your face with water
30. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Chemistry Around the House B. Chemistry in Science
C. Chemistry for Dinner D. Chemistry in everyday life
31. Which one is TRUE according to Paragraph 4?
A. One can't find chemistry when cooking food.
B. Chemistry plays an important part in food making.
C. That dough rises has nothing to do with chemistry.
D. A flat cake is the result of too many ingredients.

A survey said the average Asian dad spent one minute a day with his children. I was shocked. I mean, a whole minute? Every day? Get real. Once a week maybe. The fact is, many Asian males are terrible at kid-related things. In fact, I am one of them.
Child-rearing (養(yǎng)育) doesn’t come naturally to guys. My mother knew the names of our teachers, best friends and crushes. My dad was only vaguely aware there were short people sharing the apartment. My mother bought healthy fresh food at the market every day. My dad would only go shopping when there was nothing in the fridge except a jar of butter. Then he’d buy beer. My mother always knew the right questions to ask our teachers. My dad would ask my English teacher if she could get us a discount on school fees. My mother served kid food to kids. My dad added chili sauce to everything, including our baby food.
The truth is, mothers have superpowers. My son fell off a wall once and hurt himself all over. I demanded someone bring me a computer so I could google what to do. My wife ignored me and did some sort of chanting(詠誦) phrase such as“Mummy kiss it better,” and cured 17 separate injuries in less than 15 seconds.
Yes, mothers are incredible people, but they are not always correct. Yet honesty forces me to record the fact that mothers only know best 99.99 percent of the time. Here are some famous slip-ups.
The mother of Bill Gates:“If you’re going to drop out of college and hang out with your stupid friends, don’t come running to me when you find yourself penniless.”The mother of Albert Einstein:“When you grow up, you’ll find that sitting around thinking about the nature of time and space won’t pay the grocery bills.” The mother of George W. Bush: “You’ll never be like your dad, who became President of the United States and started his own war.”
32. The tone (語氣)for the writer to write the passage is ________.
A. serious. B. humorous. C. disapproving(不贊成的). D. critical(批評(píng)的).
33. In paragraph 2, the writer makes a comparison between mothers and fathers to prove that _____.
A. females love kids more than males
B. child-rearing is difficult both for females and males
C. my dad is not interested in child-rearing
D. males are not good at child-rearing
34. What does the underlined word “slip-ups” in paragraph 4 probably mean?.
A. Stories. B. Shortcomings. C. Mistakes. D. Disadvantages.
35. The last paragraph is mainly developed by __________.
A. providing different examples B. following the order of space
C. making comparisons D. analyzing causes

37.______Breath is made up of waste chemicals(化學(xué)物質(zhì))that the body makes, Scientists from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology found that these chemicals are different for each person.

Compared to other kinds of tests, a breath test is much quicker. 38________.
Breath tests are also a lot easier to do than regular tests, as people only need to blow into a special machine. 39________. It has been useful in finding early signs of problems such as stomach cancer.

本文講述了男性與女性相比較，不擅長(zhǎng)照顧孩子。同時(shí)也列舉了一些說錯(cuò)了話的母親的例子。
32. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段內(nèi)容，尤其是第二段最后兩句My mother served kid food to kids. My dad added chili sauce to everything, including our baby food.作者使用了一種很幽默的口吻在講述媽媽和爸爸之間的差異。本文的語調(diào)并不嚴(yán)厲，也沒有批評(píng)和反對(duì)的語氣。另外在文章最后一段講述了一些名人母親所說錯(cuò)的話時(shí)，也顯得很幽默。故B正確。
33. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句The fact is, many Asian males are terrible at kid—related things. In fact, I am one of them.很多亞洲男性對(duì)孩子或者與孩子有關(guān)的事情都很不擅長(zhǎng)，而我也是其中之一。接著在文章第二段中對(duì)爸爸媽媽照顧孩子的不同行為進(jìn)行對(duì)比，正是為了證明第一段最后兩句的內(nèi)容：男性不擅長(zhǎng)帶孩子。故D正確。

Dear Li Ming,
I am writing to you because I think I have something really serious to communicate with you.I notice that recently you often go to the Netbar and the Game Centre together with several friends. As your best friend,I am very concerned about you,because sometimes you even do not have classes in order to play. Friends play such an important part in our life that we have to choose our friends carefully. At the same time,we should always remember that true friends will never ask us to do things that will not be good for us.Thus I do not think the friends around you are your true friends and I believe you are smart enough to tell right from wrong.
I hope you will make a wise decision soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
