If you are planning to enjoy a clean, funny and old-school 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 learn how to
get along with members in your family.
18. John shows great interest in maths and physics. He wants to try out what he has 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 dishes for his
parents to show his thanks to them.
B
Everyone knows and feels proud of national heroes and
famous leaders. But there are those everyday young heroes who
just make a difference when the need suddenly happens.
The yellow school bus is such a known and important part of
childhood. Parents would always tell kids to pay more attention of
the safety before getting on the bus. The ride is the beginning of a weekday and there are no teachers
around. It’s just a time for short sleeps and joking with friends. Studies even show that teenagers aren’t
really awake and watchful until around 8:30, when the school bus arrives at the school gate. So 13-
year-old Jeremy Wuitschick had to be a true hero for saving the school bus from an accident when
other students were sleepy or just had small talks.
It was a common morning in April 2012. Jeremy was sitting in his usual place only a few seats
from the front when he saw the driver suddenly slump down（倒下）. The bus kept going 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 controls
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 bus to a stop by pulling the keys out. Other kids on the bus dialed
911. And one of Jeremy’s classmates, Johnny Wood, praised himself to be a hero as well, performing
CPR（心肺复苏）on the driver until help arrived. Thanked to Jeremy Wuitschick and his classmates’
timely help, the driver and all the students were safe.
The dictionary meaning of a hero is: “a person of great courage or ability, beloved for his or her
brave actions and unusual qualities.” It is certain that Jeremy is a young hero by his great courage and
quick thinking.
21. How did Jeremy Wuitschick save lives?
A. He warned all the students to get out of the bus quickly.

C. He asked the driver to stop the car by stepping on the pedals.
D. He guided the school bus with the driver’s hands on the wheel.
22. What can you learn from the passage?
A. Teachers should be on the school bus.
B. The driver fell asleep on that morning.
C. Parents like talking on the 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 safety.
C. To show people the problems of school buses.
D. To encourage the young to do right actions.

Effective teamwork is an important part of any group’s success. Building an effective team seems
easy. However, it can be difficult to carry it out and put it into practice. A team’s success greatly
depends on effective communication, so it is important to develop the necessary skills to communicate
effectively with each other. Most of the managers want team members to feel like they can say out
their ideas and feelings 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 people together and encouraging them to reach a higher place.
In a company, 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 done. If the meeting is held
online, the team leader can record the 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 famous company, once said, “Make reviewing meetings part of the
routine, something you do at the end of every meeting, so that everyone can learn how to do it better
all the time. Give everyone a chance to say something and put the replies in the note of the meeting
so you remember to make improvements next time.”
An effective team has cohesion (凝聚力), and all the members need to have some skills in
common. First of all, team members need to be willing to get to know each other and open up about
themselves, so they can realise that they all have different experiences and interests. This 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 members learn to
be honest and polite to get close to each other. Thirdly, it is important for the team not to complain
when something goes wrong, but the team members need to find ways to solve the problems and learn
from the mistake. Helpful reviews and respect from each other will help a team get success much faster.
24. Why is it important to communicate effectively in a team?
A. Because people can encourage each other.
B. Because managers can reach a higher place.
C. Because it can decide the success of a team.
D. Because listening is more important than speaking.

A. The leader needs to give more useful advice in the meeting.
B. The leader can ask the members to take notes in the 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.
D
① Have you ever heard that groundhogs can predict（预测） the end of
winter? How about that elephants never forget things? Or that dogs can smell the
strange? That may not be 100% true. However, many animals do have stronger
senses than humans.
②Do animals have a sixth sense that can tell the future? That may sound out
of this world. However, many events seem to support this idea.
③Thousands of years ago, a big earthquake hit Helike, Greece. Buildings were i n
ruins. Many people were hurt. But there was something interesting. The city’s animals acted strangely
days before the earthquake. Rats and snakes ran from the city in groups. Did they know an earthquake
was coming? In 1975, one million people had to leave their hometown, Haicheng, Liaoning Province
with the help of Chinese government. Why? They believed 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 December 2004, the animals of Sri Lanka were acting strange. Elephants ran around. Dogs
wouldn’t go outside. Zoo animals wouldn’t leave their home. Soon after people saw these strange
behaviours, a tsunami hit the island.
④Animals seem to be pretty good at predicting disasters. But it doesn’t stop there! Some of them
even seem to sense small changes in the weather before they happen. Bees are known to find places
before it rains. Dairy farmers say they can tell 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 and turtles. Can animals really
tell the future?
⑤Experts say it’s unlikely that animals can tell the future. However, they might hear or feel the
earthquake before people do. Even though scientists have not proved animals have the ability to predict
disasters before they happen and animals’ predictions aren’t always right, it’s not bad to pay attention to
the animals.
27. According to the passage, we know many animals ________.
A. can tell the future in different ways
B. have better sense abilities than humans
C. act strangely after some natural disasters
D. use the sixth sense to predict earthquakes
28. The word “behaviours” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A. actions B. senses C. ideas D. changes

A. Animals are good at helping farmers.
B. Animals are good at finding their homes.
C. Animals seem to know the future problems.
D. Animals seem to know the weather changes.
30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
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10 分）
The teenage years are an important time for teenagers to grow in bodies and minds. The teenage
years are also a time when teenagers form habits that can last a lifetime. Here are some pieces of
healthy living advice for teenagers to follow.
Eat Your Fruits and Vegetables
Scientists suggest that teens should get at least five kinds of fruits and vegetables each day. Fruits
and vegetables provide（提供）important vitamins teens’ bodies need to grow well. Eating a diet
high in fruits and vegetables also helps keep teens full without providing more calories that can lead
to overweight.
Get Your Body Moving
Exercise does more than just burn calories. Taking part in sports helps keep the heart strong and
improves feelings. According to the Kids Health, a website presented by the Nemours Foundation,
teens should take part in at least 60 minutes of exercise every day.
Watch What You Drink
Teens’ bodies are almost two-thirds water, so drinking enough water is important. Teenagers
should drink 8 glasses of water every day, according to the British Nutrition Foundation. That number
grows for teens who take part in sports or are especially active. Other good drinks include（包含）100
percent fruit juice and low-fat milk. Sugary drinks should be limited or excluded from the meals
completely as they provide more sugar and empty calories.
Get Enough Sleep
According to the scientists, teenagers need at least nine hours of sleep each night. Teens should
also have at least an hour of “quiet time” before bedtime. The goal is for all phones or computers to
be turned off for the night so that the brains and bodies can get relaxed. Quiet time activities may
include listening to soft music or reading a book.
31. How many kinds of fruits and vegetables does a teenager should eat each day?
32. Why should teenagers do exercise every day according to the passage?
33. What quiet activities can students do before bedtime?
34. How do you follow one of these healthy living suggestions in your daily life?
