Passage B

Parents of very young children know this：You catch your child in the act of stealing the cookie — the evidence of candy written on his or her face.However，you get a wide-eyed denial：“I didn't do it！”

Learning to tell the truth，even at the risk of punishment，is an important part of moral (道德) development，and new research suggests it can take seven or more years for kids to get there. Early in 2017 Professor Craig E．Smith published a study.He and his workmates chose 48 children between four and nine years of age.They told the kids a story about a boy or girl

doing something wrong，such as taking a classmate's toy or candy，and then either lying about the wrongdoing to a parent or confessing (承认) it.In each case，they asked the children，“How would the child feel？How would the mother feel？”

The children's answers were generally divided according to age, which is in agreement with

the above research, showing a gradual growth of moral understanding in early childhood.

More of the four-to-five-year olds thought the child in the story would feel better keeping the stolen candy，lying and getting unpunished.They imagined the parent in the study would be

angry with the child who confessed.However，the seven-to-nine-year-olds were more likely (可能的) to think the child would feel better confessing the crime and that the parent would have positive (积极的) feelings towards a confessor.

Smith says, “Kids of all ages who expec

t that a parent would feel happy about a child's confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie.Reward the honesty even if you feel

，what parents can learn from these studies is to you must punish the wrong action.”He adds

listen calmly without getting angry right away when their child confesses.

denial”in Paragraph 1 mean?

()1、What does the underlined word“

A．委屈B．责备

C．否认D．拒绝

()2、Paragraph 2 mainly tells us______.

A．kids can't tell“right”from“wrong”

B．it takes time for kids to learn to tell the truth

C．it's wrong to punish kids for telling the truth

D．all the kids are willing to confess to a bad act

()3、What did Smith and his workmates find in their study?

A．Older kids are more likely than younger children to confess to a bad act.

B．Younger children are more likely than older kids to confess to a bad act.

C．The four-to-five-year-olds would feel better confessing the crime.

D．The seven-to-nine-year-olds thought parents would be angry with their confessions.

()4、According to Professor Smith，what can parents learn from these studies? A．Parents should at once punish the children who lied.

B．Parents should tell children the wrongness of lying.

C．Parents should never get angry after their children's confessions.

D．Parents should show positive feelings about their children's confessions.

()5、What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．Children often like making mistakes when they are young.

B．A research about 48 children between four and nine years of age.

C．Reward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action.

D．How the parents treat their children when their children make mistakes.

Passage C

The world is not only hungry but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70%of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97%of that is sea water or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3%of fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground and so on. And we can not even use all of that because some of it has been made dirty.

Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember how important water is. The water that we use is the most important natural resource on the earth. Today we face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms

and homes make our rivers, lakes and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too.

How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First they pollute the air. Then when it rains, the rain water makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid rain（酸雨）, is also bad for plants, animals and buildings. Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won't have enough dean water. We have to learn how to stop wasting water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water i~ used only once and then sere out into a sewer system（下水道）. From there it returns to the sea or goes underground.

But even though every large city reused its water, we would still not have enough. So we should make use of sea water by removing the salt in it. If we can take these steps, fresh water won't be used up.

1. The world is thirsty for water because______.

A．we don't have enough fresh water

B．a lot of water goes into sewer systems

C．only 70% of the earth's surface is water

D．sea water is widely used rather than fresh water

2. The underlined word "face" means"______".

A．turn the face down B．turn the face up

C．turn the face to D．turn the face back

3. From this passage, we know acid rain________.

A．is only bad for living things

B．is not bad for buildings and factories

C．can be produced in factories

D．is bad for people, animals, plants and buildings

4. One difficult way we can solve the problem is to ______.

A．use the water with salt in it B．remove the salt from sea water

C．get water from underground D．reuse the water in cities

5. What is the best title for this passage?

A．Fresh water and sea water B．A thirsty country

C．The importance of water D．The world's water problem

Passage D

Let us begin by saying what causes our dreams. Our dreams do not come from another world. They are not messages from some outside source .They are not a look into the future, either.

All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold , his dreams may include a feeling of this kind. If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping on ice or in snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight

is likely to come from the experience you have today.

So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has influence on you while you are sleeping（feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc.）and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and the interests you have now. This is why children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, home-sick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom.

To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of the experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton. He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hands!

There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream

and what those dreams mean. Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is not

accepted by everyone but it offers an interesting approach to the problem. They believe that

dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did not come true. In other words dreaming is a

way of having your wishes carried out.

1. From the passage we know that our dreams .

A. are imagination of our daily life

B. are man’s curious look into the future

C. have nothing to do with our feelings

D. are to some degree connected with our

feelings

2. In your dream when you feel like eating something it indicates（暗示）that .

A. you are in a state of being cold

B. you are in a state of being tired

C. you are in a state of hunger

D. you should have had your dinner that day

3. Some scientists’ explanation of dreams

.

A. is not widely accepted though a bit reasonable

B. gives an exact description of our

life

C. provides us with information of dreams

D. is of no use for us

Passage F

When you watch TV programs about wild animals, it is surprising to see how an antelope (羚

羊) can run away from a strong lion. In the wilderness, everyone has his own way to protect

himself. Even plants have their own ways to fight off enemies.

Over millions of years, plants have developed their own defense system (防卫系统).

Chemicals are fantastically used by plants to survive (幸存). By making their leaves, flowers,

roots and fruits poisonous (有毒的) to enemies, plants can fight back.

One such plant is the Golden Wattle tree. The British scientist David Cameron has found

when an animal eats the tree’s leaves, the amount

(数量) of poison increases in the other

leaves. “It’s like the injured leaves telephoning the others to fight together against the enemy,

he said.

The tree also sends defense messages to neighboring plants by giving out a special smell.

Golden Wattle trees in the nearby 45 meters will get the message and produce more poison

within 10 minutes. Now, if an enemy eats too many of the trees’ leaves, he will die. Every kind of plant or tree is good at producing a special set of chemicals. Herbivores, like

rabbits, can safely eat the leaves of one tree, but they may be poisoned by its neighbor.

In this way, plants have not only developed their own defense system, but also shared it with

others. This makes it impossible for a single animal to destroy even a small area of forest.

1．From the first 2 paragraphs, we can learn that _________.

A. plants can do nothing against their enemies

B. chemicals are quite useful for plants to survive

C. an antelope can always run away from a strong lion

D. leaves, roots, flowers and fruits of plants are poisonous

2．If animals eat one Golden Wattle tree’s leaves, the tree can________.

A. kill the animals with a special smell

B. tell other trees to come to protect it

C. warn other trees against the animals on the phone

D. send defense messages to the neighboring plants

3．The underlined word “herbivores” in the 5th paragraph probably means animals which

_____.

A．produce poison B．live on small animals

C．like to eat rabbits D．feed on plants or grass

4．The last paragraph of the passage suggests that this kind of defense system is ________.

A．bad for animals B．good for forests

C．helpful to some animals D．harmful to forests

5．The passage is mainly about __________.

A．the examples of protecting forests

B．the balance between animals and plants

C．the ways of plants fighting against enemies

D．the relationship between lions and antelopes
