Betty was excited to show her brother David the basket filled with seashells. But David was busy helping Dad get everything back into the car. “What are you going to do with those useless things ” he said. “You can’t take them home.”
“But I want these seashells,” Betty said unhappily. “Each one is a different shape and size. They are all special.”
Suddenly, David saw the water rising along the beach. He shouted to Betty, “The waves (海浪) are about to take your toys!” As Betty ran to get her things, she called to David, “Please put my seashells into the car!”
David was putting one of the beach chairs into the car when his foot accidentally knocked over the basket. As David lifted a heavy box, he slipped (滑倒) and dropped the box right on top of the seashells, breaking most of them into pieces.
Betty came back with her toys. When she saw her seashells broken, she began to cry. David started to pick up the seashells and place them carefully back into the basket.
Dad tried to explain to Betty that it was an accident. But Betty was still upset. David also felt sad. He thought about what he could do to make it up to his sister. When he got home, he had a perfect idea.

Insect-eating plants don’t have sharp teeth, but they do “eat” living creatures (生物). That ability makes these plants some of the most interesting plants on earth.
Insect-eating plants have bright colors, smells, and flowers to make insects come closer. Insects are then trapped by the plants and become their food. Most kinds of insect-eating plants are smaller plants. They can reach up to 12 inches in height. Some taller ones can grow to the height of 3 feet.
These insect-eating plants live all over the world. About 40 kinds live in North America. Each type has its own special way to trap insects. And each type has its own special look. For example, the Venus flytrap (捕蝇草) can feel when a moving insect is in between its leaves and will very quickly close to catch the insect. If the insect is too small and gets out of it, the trap will open again in more than 12 hours. If the insect moves around and can’t get out, the trap will get more closed.
Insect-eating plants usually live in wetlands. They have different ways to get the food they need to live. Insects that visit the plant are trapped as food. Just like other plants, insect-eating plants also get energy in the process of photosynthesis (光合作用). Insect-eating plants don’t always have to include insects in their diet, however, they seem to be healthier when they do.
33．Which of the following is TRUE about insect-eating plants
A．They trap insects as their food.
B．Most of them are taller than 12 feet.
C．They have bright colors and sharp teeth.
D．They live in dry places in North America.
34．What happens if an insect is too small for a Venus flytrap to catch
A．The trap will move its sharp teeth quickly to catch it.
B．The trap will open quickly again after failing to catch it.
C．The trap will not be able to open until over 12 hours later.
D．The trap will get more closed so that the insect won’t move.
35．The writer develops Paragraph 3 by________.
A．telling stories B．giving examples
C．showing steps D．asking questions
36．Where can we probably see this article
A．In a news report. B．In a storybook.

Travel can make us feel better. New places bring excitement and it turns out that there is a science behind —“dopamine (多巴胺) and serotonin (血清素)”. Travel experts explain (解释) that dopamine and serotonin levels go up when we travel.
Dopamine is one of the key chemicals. It can make us feel happy. When we join in activities that we enjoy, our brains will release (释放) it and it’ll give us a sense of joy and satisfaction. Serotonin is another key chemical. It is important to our mood, sleep, and diet. Our serotonin levels will drop when we get less daylight in winter. In short, the more dopamine and serotonin we have, the happier we will feel.
Here’s how it actually makes us happier:
Vitamin D can be boosted
As we know, vitamin D is naturally made by the skin when we’re in the sun. When vitamin D boosts (增强) from sunlight, it will help the production of serotonin, to improve our sleep quality, and even reduce our stress (减少压力).
Negative ions are ______ things
Negative ions (负离子) are most found in fresh air, especially near bodies of water like oceans and waterfalls, and in forests. They have been shown to increase (升高) serotonin levels, energy levels, boost immune systems (免疫系统), and reduce stress levels. If we spent time on the beach, listening to the sound of crashing waves and feeling our stress wash away, that might thank to the negative ions.
Travelling makes you social
Social interaction (社交互动) also helps the release of both dopamine and serotonin. If we try a group tour, the new experiences and activities will also boost our dopamine and serotonin levels.
Close to wildlife
The beauty of nature can have a calming effect on the mind and body, and spending time in nature has been shown to reduce stress levels and promote relaxation. Watching the wonders of nature and seeing animals in their natural habit can boost dopamine and serotonin levels. And the physical activities like walking and hiking also have a mood-boosting effect.
37．What’s the purpose of Paragraph 2
A．To ask some questions about the topic. B．To explain the importance of the topic.
C．To show the result of discussing the topic. D．To introduce some knowledge about the topic.
38．Which of the following words can be put in ________
A．bad B．good C．useless D．expensive
39．According to the passage, which of the following sentences is NOT true
A．A campfire party often makes you feel down.
B．Walking on the beach is a good way to reduce stress.
C．The more sunlight you get, the better sleep you may have.
D．Going birdwatching in forests can make you feel relaxed.
40．What does the passage mainly talk about
A．The problems we may have during our trip.
B．The science behind how travel makes us happier.
C．The tips on how to have a happier travel experience.
D．The steps to release dopamine and serotonin in our body.

Many people believe sharks (鲨鱼) are one of the most dangerous animals in the world. But according to a report, humans bring a far greater danger to sharks than they do to us. Shark attacks (攻击) do happen, however they are not very often. On the other hand, every hour, about 11,000 sharks are killed by humans. It is time that we should take action to stop many kinds of sharks from dying out.
Why should we save sharks Because killing sharks is a problem for the whole world. Sharks are on the top of food chain. They eat other species (物种), but few species eat them. As sharks die off, the number of other species will increase. This, in turn, means the food that other species eat will become less. So how can you help save sharks
Don’t use shark products (产品). Pet foods, energy drinks, leather products can be made from shark parts. And shark meat is sold around the world. Most sharks killed worldwide are hunted for their fins (鳍), which are used to make shark fin soup. The process is unfriendly and cruel. Fishermen often cut the shark’s fins off and then drop the shark back into the water, still alive. Sharks breathe by swimming. So if a shark can’t swim with its fin, it will die.
If you eat seafood, make sure the food you eat comes from fisheries (渔场) that care for the sea. Many organizations try to protect sharks. They give us advice on how to keep them alive.
No buying, no killing! Maybe that is the best way to save sharks.
41．How many sharks are killed per hour
42．What will happen, if sharks die off
43．Can sharks live without fins Why
44．What do the organizations do to protect sharks

五、短文填空
My favourite book is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St Petersburg, Missouri. He’s a lively and clever young boy, and he finds h 46 interested in many exciting adventures. He runs away with his t 47 friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days.
My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is d 48 . He decides to go to his own funeral. He hides and watches for some time, and then s 49 he appears. Everyone is surprised to see him, but they’re also pleased to see him alive. Tom is the hero of the story, but there are o 50 important characters. Huck is an outsider (外来者) and everyone is afraid of him. Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom’s best friend, and Injun Joe is the bad man in the story. The theme of the story is about g 51 up. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and h 52 people are punished (处罚) for bad behavior.
Mark Twain w 53 the story in 1876. But it’s still read and loved by people all over the world today. Although it’s only a s 54 , Mark Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very r 55 . Today it is one of the greatest books in American literature. Go to read it! I think you’ll enjoy it.
