二、阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

A
Food safety is important and it doesn’t end at our door. Eating food not kept correctly could make you fallsick. The fridge may be a perfect choice for keeping food safe and fresh, but it is not a magic box to keep all kinds
of food. Follow these tips and learn how to store food correctly in your fridge.
The temperature in the fresh—keeping area can be different from shelf to shelf. As a general rule, the higher
the shelf is, the higher the temperature will be. So make use of these different temperatures to get the best out of
your food by storing it on the right shelf. Try to put ready-to-eat food like burgers, pizza or cream cakes on top
shelves. The middle shelves are most suitable for dairy products such as cheese, butter, yogurt and eggs. Bottom
shelves are the coldest part of the fridge, making them perfect for storing raw meat and seafood. Some fridges
have a freezer for keeping these things, so of course make use of that if you have one.
Keeping food in the fridge does not kill bacteria but it can stop the bacteria from growing fast. Bacteria can
grow quickly in temperatures between 5℃and 60℃. This is called the Temperature Danger Zone. If you want to
get the most out of your food, the temperature in your fridge needs to be between 0℃ and 5℃. The freezer
temperature should be below—18℃.
Fruit and vegetables can also be stored at room temperature. Try to keep them in a cool, dry and dark place,
away from direct sunlight or sources of heat. Once cut, they should be put in the fridge.
Everyone should pay attention to food safety. Hope these tips can help you keep your food fresh for as long
as possible.
36．Which of the following should be put on the bottom shelves?
A． B． C． D．
37．If you put some food in the Temperature Danger Zone, it will ________.
A．freeze fast B．be safe to eat C．go bad very quicklyD．taste and smell better
38．The area should be between ________ in order to keep food fresh for as long as possible.
A．5℃ and 60℃ B．0℃ and 5℃ C．60℃ and 70℃ D．—18℃ and —28℃
39．What should you do when storing fruit and vegetables?
A．Keep them cool and dry.
B．Try to keep them as wet as possible.
C．Wash them before putting them in the fridge.
D．Cut them and keep the pieces at room temperature.
40．What might be the best title of the passage?

Everyone worries. Worry is not all bad. But some kids worry too much. If that sounds like you, you can take
these three steps.
◆Try to find out what you’re worried about. The worst thing is to do nothing. We should know that worries
are normal in life, so don’t run away from them, try to solve them. If you can’t find out what worries you, you can
talk to your parents, teachers or another person you trust to get some help.
◆ ▲
There is almost always something you can do to help you feel less worried. For example, grades at school are
often a top worry for kids. If that’s your worry, ask yourself these questions:
※Why are grades important? What do they mean to me?
※How do I prepare for class? Do I review (复习) even when there isn’t a test the next day?
※Do I have a good place to do my homework?
※Do I try different ways of studying, such as reading aloud (大声地), using computers, and working with a
study friend?
You can also write down all the actions (行动) you could take. Once you have a list of possible actions, you
can choose the one you think is the best for yourself.
◆Ask for help.
Worry can make you feel lonely (孤独的). When you’re worried, it can help to find someone to talk to.
Talking to someone will help a lot, he or she will think about ways to help you. And it will make you feel better.
As an old saying goes, sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you are halfway to solving a problem just by
asking for help.
41．If you can’t find out what you’re worried about, what could you do?
A．Ask yourself some questions. B．Try different ways of studying.
C．Look for a good place to have a good rest. D．Ask your parents, teachers or friends for help.
42．What does the underlined word “them” refer to?
A．Grades. B．Persons. C．Worries. D．Classes.
43．Which is the best to put in “ ▲ ”?
A．Think of ways to make it better. B．What if it doesn’t work?
C．Try to make decisions by yourself. D．What happens when you’re worried?44．What can we know from the passage?
A．Some people don’t worry. B．Worry can make you lonely.
C．Worry can make you angry. D．Worry is always bad for you.
45．Which is the best title for the passage?
A．Don’t Worry Too Much B．What Worries You
C．How to Ask for Help D．Worry Less in Three Steps

Everyone has his or her teen years, but do you know how to enjoy being a teenager? There are many things
you can do to enjoy your teen years.
Study hard at school.
Nothing is more important than receiving (接受) education. Although school life can be hard, it matters more
than ever during your teen years. Also, there is no one but dreams of going to an excellent high school. So if you
hand in your schoolwork on time and do well in exams, you’ll find it’s easy to make it come true.
Make a few good friends.
There is no need to know everybody at school, but you should try to make a few good friends. The number of
friends you have isn’t important, but the quality (质量) of your friends is important. And if you make sure your
friends can make you feel good, they’ll probably bring out the best in you.
Have your own interests.
Seek something you show great interest in and then take up a hobby, such as reading books and doing sports.
In a word, don’t be afraid to try something new.

In recent years, food safety has become important to many people. Some families have stopped eating out.
They have started cooking at home.
However, they still worry about the ingredients (原料) they use. So, is there any way we can eat safely?
There just may be. People in Brazil have a wonderful way that they would like to show us.
Sao Paulo is the largest city in Brazil. Growing vegetables by themselves has become popular. Most people
in the city live in apartments, so they don’t have a garden. But if you make good use of the space on your balcony
(阳台), it’s enough to grow vegetables for a family of three. These “urban (城市的) farmers” all say the
vegetables they grow taste good. What’s more, they are safe and fresh.
Growing vegetables by ourselves has many good sides. First, these vegetables won’t be polluted by
pesticides (杀虫剂). Second, because they are fresher, they are often good for health. The vegetables also make
the indoor air cleaner. Last but not least, the relationship between family members may become better as they
work together.
Now, you have learned about all of these good sides of growing vegetables by yourself. Do you want to try
it? I believe it will be easy if one of your family members has a green thumb. But if not, look for some advice.
Here is a useful book: The Edible Balcony.
51．According to the text, some families have stopped eating out because ________.
A．they are worried about food safety
B．they have found eating out to be too expensive
C．they believe cooking at home saves them timeD．they have been growing vegetables by themselves
52．The “urban farmers” grow vegetables ________.
A．in the garden B．on the balcony

A．The vegetables will be healthier.
B．The vegetables will be safer.
C．The house will be cleaner.
D．Family members will get on well with each other.
54．The underlined part “has a green thumb” probably refers to (指) someone who ________.
A．is good at cooking B．knows how to use pesticides
C．is good at growing plants D．cares about food safety
55．By writing the text, the writer mainly wants to _________.

五、阅读短文回答问题（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
Feeling shy around your new friends? Playing some icebreaking games can help you get to know each other
better. Give it a try!
Describe Yourself
The first player should use one word to describe himself or herself. The first letter of this word should be thesame as the first letter in his or her name. Henry, for example, can call himself “Happy Henry”. The next players
should say their own name combination (组合) as well as the name combinations of all the players in front of
them.
Ten Fingers
Players should hold up all ten fingers. One by one, they can say one fact about themselves. One could
possibly say, for example, “I can swim.” The other players who can’t swim should then put down one finger.
When a player puts down all ten fingers, he or she loses the game.
Who Am I?
Each player is randomly (随机地) given a card with someone else’s name on it. The card should be taped to
the player’s forehead (额头). This way, the player can’t see whose name is written on it. This name becomes his or
her new identity (身份). Players can ask others “yes or no” questions about themselves. For example, one may
ask, “Do I have long hair?” Players should use the answers to guess who they are.
71．Why do people play the icebreaking games?
72．What should the second player do while playing “Describe Yourself”?
73．How can we tell if a player loses the game of “Ten Fingers”?
74．Where should the card be taped when playing “Who Am I”?
75．How do you like these games? (请自拟一句话作答)
