Help!"called the ant."What can I do?"
The ant was in trouble.A dove up a nearby tree saw it."I will help you," she

water near the struggling (挣扎脱身)ant."Get on the leaf,"she said.The ant moved
toward the leaf and climbed up there.Soon the leaf carried him safely to dry
ground.The ant said to the dove,"One day I will help you." The dove said to the

Sleeping
Sleeping is important for your health and fitness.It's often overlooked(被忽视)as
a key part of your health.Why is sleep so important and what happens when you're
sleeping?
Sleeping is actually a very active time for your body.It's not just you are closing
your eyes and waiting to wake up.Sleep is made up of stages .In the first couple
学科网(北京)股份有限公司stages,your mind stops worrying about what is happening around it and your body
relaxes.Your heart rate(速率),temperature and breathing are all lower as your body
relaxes.As you fall more deeply asleep,your muscles(肌肉)relax and your cells(细
胞)start to rebuild.Growth hormones(激素)are released(释放)in deep sleep to
help you grow and build muscle.Your body repairs itself.
Later,you will fall into REM sleep.This is probably the most important part of
your sleep when you are dreaming.Your muscles turn off completely,but your brain is
very active.It helps provide energy(能量)for the brain and gives you daytime
energy.You usually drop into dream or REM sleep about every 90 minutes you are
asleep.That's why sleep is important.
Hormones that control mood,energy level,your immune(免疫的)system and
appetite (食欲)are all affected(影响)by sleep.Getting the proper amount of sleep
allows your body to function(运转)at its very best.It also helps you to grow.Your
memory doesn't even work as well when you are tired.How can you make good
decisions and concentrate without proper sleep?
(1)What does the word "stages"in Paragraph 2 probably (可能)mean?
A.Letters.
B.Steps.
C.Units.
D.Notes.
(2)What can we learn from the passage?
A.Hormones can make you have a good sleep.
B.During deep sleep,your body stops working.
C.Teenagers usually need less sleep than their parents.
D.When you are dreaming,your brain stays active and get energy.
(3)The writer advises us to .
A.have enough sleep
B.grow up happily
C.do more active exercise
D.study the sleep

Natural Disasters
Earthquakes are natural disasters.They are the shaking of the earth's surface(表
面).The earth makes these natural earthquakes in order to release pressure(释放压
力).
More than a million earthquakes happen in the world each year.Earthquakes
usually last less than a minute but you can feel them.The scary thing about
earthquakes is that they begin with no warning.But scientists are still working on the
problem.
There are about 20 plates(板块)along the surface of the earth that move slowly
all the time next to each other.When the plates touch each other,huge rocks are
created(创造) and explode(爆炸) with great power(力量), causing an
earthquake.As the plates move,they put pressure on themselves and each other.When
the pressure is large enough,the crust(地壳)is forced(被迫)to break.
Shaking and ground breaking are the main effects ( 影 响 ) created by
earthquakes.After an earthquake is over,buildings are usually damaged(破坏)and
people get hurt even killed.
Some people think animals can predict(预言)an earthquake.The earliest reference
(参考) about unusual animal behavior is from Greece in 373 BC.Rats and snakes
reportedly left their homes and headed for safety several days before an
earthquake.Scientists can easily explain the cause of unusual animal behavior seconds
before humans feel an earthquake.Very few humans notice the smaller P wave that
travels the fastest from the earthquake source(源)and arrives before the larger S
wave.But many animals are able to feel the P wave seconds before the S wave
arrives.As for sensing an earthquake days or weeks before it happens,that's a different
story.Scientists have tried many different ways of predicting earthquakes,but none have
been successful.They need to do much research on this subject.
So what should you do when an earthquake begins?If you are inside a
building,you should take cover under a table.If you are outside,you should stay out
in an open place.
学科网(北京)股份有限公司(1)An earthquake happens because .
A.the earth wants to release pressure
B.there are more creatures on the earth
C.there are about 30 plates along the surface of the earth
D.people damaged the surface of the earth
(2)What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.The places of earthquakes.
B.The reasons for earthquakes.
C.The ways of predicting earthquakes.
D.The bad result of an earthquake.
(3)Some animals so they leave their homes to safe places before an
earthquake.
A.are very clever
B.can create an earthquake
C.like living in new places with their friends
D.can feel the P wave seconds before the S wave arrives
(4)The writer probably agrees(同意)that .
A.we should protect the animals before earthquakes
B.scientists can know earthquakes before they happen
C.people should learn to keep safe during earthquakes
D.earthquakes are the most dangerous natural disasters
四、阅读表达(每题2分,共10分)阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
18.(10分)
Migrating(迁移的)Wild Geese
In autumn,the wild geese migrate to a warmer place.They fly in a V formation
(队形).Why do they fly like this?Here is the story of the migrating wild geese.If
they fly in a V formation,the whole flock(整个群)will increase the flight efficiency
(提升飞行效率) by 71% compared(对比)to just one bird flying alone.
They share the same direction and work as a team so they get to the destination
(目的地) quicker and easier.When a wild goose leaves the formation,it will feel
学科网(北京)股份有限公司the resistance (阻力)of the air and the difficulties of flying alone.Then,it quickly
comes back to the formation to be protected by the flock's power(能量)in front of
it.If the leader wild goose gets tired of flying,it will go to the end of the V
formation while another one takes the lead.This is how they share the leadership and
have respect for everyone in the team.The wild geese flying at the back of a V
formation quack(嘎嘎叫)to encourage the ones in the front so that they keep the
same speed.The progress(进步,进展)is greater by encouraging each other.If a goose
gets sick,it must leave the formation,other wild geese leave the formation too,and
they fly with it to help it out and protect it.Or they stay with it until it dies or it is
able to fly again.They just make another V formation.So they stay beside each other in
times of difficulties and great challenges(挑战).
Let's learn from this teamwork story of the wild geese.If we know the spirit(精
神)of teamwork,if we understand the real value(价值)of friendship,if we are
aware(意识到) of the feeling of sharing,life will be easier and full of success.
(1)When do the wild geese migrate to a warmer place?
(2)Where will the leader wild goose go if it gets tired of flying?

Sleeping
Sleeping is important for your health and fitness.It's often overlooked(被忽视)as
a key part of your health.Why is sleep so important and what happens when you're
sleeping?
Sleeping is actually a very active time for your body.It's not just you are closing
your eyes and waiting to wake up.Sleep is made up of stages .In the first couple
stages,your mind stops worrying about what is happening around it and your body
relaxes.Your heart rate(速率),temperature and breathing are all lower as your body
relaxes.As you fall more deeply asleep,your muscles(肌肉)relax and your cells(细
胞)start to rebuild.Growth hormones(激素)are released(释放)in deep sleep to
help you grow and build muscle.Your body repairs itself.
Later,you will fall into REM sleep.This is probably the most important part of
your sleep when you are dreaming.Your muscles turn off completely,but your brain is
very active.It helps provide energy(能量)for the brain and gives you daytime
energy.You usually drop into dream or REM sleep about every 90 minutes you are
asleep.That's why sleep is important.
Hormones that control mood,energy level,your immune(免疫的)system and
appetite (食欲)are all affected(影响)by sleep.Getting the proper amount of sleep

活跃的时间。不仅仅是你闭上眼睛等着醒来。睡眠是由多个阶段组成的。在最初的两个
阶段,你的大脑不再担心周围发生的事情,你的身体也会放松。你的心率,当你的身体
放松时,温度和呼吸都会降低。)可知睡眠是由多个阶段组成的。故选B。

Natural Disasters
Earthquakes are natural disasters.They are the shaking of the earth's surface(表
面).The earth makes these natural earthquakes in order to release pressure(释放压
力).
More than a million earthquakes happen in the world each year.Earthquakes
usually last less than a minute but you can feel them.The scary thing about
earthquakes is that they begin with no warning.But scientists are still working on the
problem.
There are about 20 plates(板块)along the surface of the earth that move slowly
all the time next to each other.When the plates touch each other,huge rocks are
created(创造) and explode(爆炸) with great power(力量), causing an
earthquake.As the plates move,they put pressure on themselves and each other.When
the pressure is large enough,the crust(地壳)is forced(被迫)to break.
Shaking and ground breaking are the main effects ( 影 响 ) created by
earthquakes.After an earthquake is over,buildings are usually damaged(破坏)and
people get hurt even killed.
Some people think animals can predict(预言)an earthquake.The earliest reference
(参考) about unusual animal behavior is from Greece in 373 BC.Rats and snakes
学科网(北京)股份有限公司reportedly left their homes and headed for safety several days before an
earthquake.Scientists can easily explain the cause of unusual animal behavior seconds
before humans feel an earthquake.Very few humans notice the smaller P wave that
travels the fastest from the earthquake source(源)and arrives before the larger S
wave.But many animals are able to feel the P wave seconds before the S wave
arrives.As for sensing an earthquake days or weeks before it happens,that's a different
story.Scientists have tried many different ways of predicting earthquakes,but none have
been successful.They need to do much research on this subject.
So what should you do when an earthquake begins?If you are inside a
building,you should take cover under a table.If you are outside,you should stay out
in an open place.
(1)An earthquake happens because A .
A.the earth wants to release pressure
B.there are more creatures on the earth
C.there are about 30 plates along the surface of the earth
D.people damaged the surface of the earth
(2)What is the third paragraph mainly about? B
A.The places of earthquakes.
B.The reasons for earthquakes.
C.The ways of predicting earthquakes.
D.The bad result of an earthquake.
(3)Some animals D so they leave their homes to safe places before an
earthquake.
A.are very clever
B.can create an earthquake
C.like living in new places with their friends
D.can feel the P wave seconds before the S wave arrives
(4)The writer probably agrees(同意)that C .
A.we should protect the animals before earthquakes
B.scientists can know earthquakes before they happen
学科网(北京)股份有限公司C.people should learn to keep safe during earthquakes
D.earthquakes are the most dangerous natural disasters
【解答】(1)细节理解题。根据The earth makes these natural earthquakes in order to
release pressure(释放压力).(地球制造这些自然地震是为了释放压力。)可知地震是
因为地球想要释放压力。故选A。
(2)段落大意题。根据 There are about 20 plates(板块)along the surface of the
earth that move slowly all the time next to each other.When the plates touch each
other,huge rocks are created(创造)and explode(爆炸)with great power(力量),
causing an earthquake.As the plates move,they put pressure on themselves and each
other.When the pressure is large enough,the crust(地壳)is forced(被迫)to break.
(沿着地球表面大约有20个板块,它们一个挨着一个一直在缓慢移动。当板块相互接
触时,巨大的岩石产生并以巨大的力量爆炸,引起地震。随着板块的移动,它们给自己
和彼此施加压力。当压力足够大时,地壳被迫破裂。)可知第三段主要介绍了地震的原
因。故选B。
(3)细节理解题。根据But many animals are able to feel the P wave seconds before
the S wave arrives.(但是许多动物能够在S波到来前几秒感觉到P波。)可知一些动物
能够在S波到来前几秒感觉到P波。故选D。
(4)理解判断题。根据 So what should you do when an earthquake begins?If you
are inside a building,you should take cover under a table.If you are outside,you
should stay out in an open place.(那么当地震开始时,你应该做什么呢?如果你在建
