【題目】 Chinese noodles have a long history. They were first mentioned in the Eastern Han Dynasty, over 1, 900 years ago. At that time, noodles were called “cakes”. They were “cakes” that were boiled in water.

From the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, there were written records about noodles. “Mian” became the name of noodles in the Song Dynasty. Before that, there was no specific name for this kind of food.

There are all kinds of noodles, such as cold noodles, warm noodles, and fried noodles. There are also all kinds of noodle-making methods, such as brushing, pressing, rolling and pulling.

China is where all noodles originated（起源）, including the noodles, such as spaghetti, that we think came from other countries. In the Yuan Dynasty, Marco Polo came to China. He learned to make noodles, and then taught the method when he went back to his country. In 1912, the traditional Chinese method of noodle-making was brought to Japan. Japanese noodles were first called “Dragon Noodles”, meaning food eaten by the Chinese-the descendants（后代）of the Dragon.

Among all Chinese noodles, the most special type may be Yi Noodles. They were created by a chef in the Qing Dynasty. Yi Noodles are made in both southern and northern China, but Fujian and Jiangxi Provinces are most famous for making Yi Noodles. Yi Noodles can be served dry or with soup. Since Yi Noodles are similar to modern instant noodles（方便面）, they are considered to be the father of modern instant noodles.

閱讀短文, 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答下列問題.

【1】When did “Mian” become the name of noodles?

【2】Did noodles first appear in China?

【3】Where was Marco Polo from?

【4】Why were Japanese noodles first called “Dragon Noodles” ?

【5】Who created Yi Noodles?

【題目】 After a busy morning at work, lunchtime gives me a chance to do many things, such as exercise, read or watch TV. One cultural difference I've noticed between Britain and China is what we do during lunchtime.

Here in China, workers have longer lunch breaks, which gives them enough time to take a short nap. So Chinese people usually use lunchtime to rest. I often see office workers rest their heads on their desks. The room turns into a quiet “bedroom”. Once, I even saw workers in a restaurant taking short naps as well. This is also very common for students in China. After lunch, they will go back to their dormitories (宿舍) or classrooms to take a nap. Chinese people believe a short nap at noon can help them feel more energetic in the afternoon.

In Britain, this activity is quite uncommon. British students usually have a one-hour lunch break. Instead of napping, they fill that time by playing sports or talking with friends.

Most workers in Britain don't get the chance to nap. They generally have short lunch breaks-between 30 minutes to an hour. There is not enough time to have a nap. Because of the shortness of their lunch breaks, it is common for people to work through lunch or just finish their lunch at their desk.

【1】What does the writer often do after lunch?

A.Sleeps or docs some reading.B.Talks with friends or sleeps.

C.Watches TV or plays sports.D.Does chores or takes a short rest.

【2】The underlined word “Nap“ means_______.

A.聊天B.鍛煉C.散步D.小睡

【3】Which of the sentence is TRUE?

A.Taking naps is not common for Chinese students.

B.Workers have shorter lunch breaks in Britain.

C.Workers in restaurants hardly take short naps during lunch breaks.

D.Chinese people believe a nap can help them feel less energetic.

【4】In the last paragraph, “They“ refers to（指代） _______.

A.Chinese workers.B.Chinese students.C.English workers.D.English students.

【5】The writer of this passage probably comes from________.

A.EnglandB.ChinaC.JapanD.Korea

【題目】Passage 3

① Rebecca is a wildlife camerawoman from the United Kingdom. She was filming a documentary(紀(jì)錄片)for the BBC in the Pacific Ocean (太平洋) when she saw something that made her cry: hundreds of dead birds. They died because they accidentally (偶然地) ate some of the plastic that is thrown into the sea each year. The beaches on the Pacific islands should have been some of the most beautiful places in the world. But they were covered with plastic toys, bottles, pens, cigarette lighters(打火機(jī))—every plastic thing you can think of.

②Rebecca decided she had to do something In her hometown of Modbury in southwest England, she asked local shopkeepers if they could do something to help. She asked them to stop using plastic bags in their shops.

③Plastic bags are used everywhere in Britain. The numbers are amazing. Britain uses nearly 17 billion plastic bags each year. And the bags can take hundreds of years to break down(分解) because they are made of chemicals (化學(xué)物質(zhì)). Each year, the sea and the environment become more and more polluted.

④To Rebecca's surprise, the shopkeepers agreed and Modbury became the first plastic bag-free town in Britain. Instead, shops offer reusable cotton bags or biodegradable(可生物降解的)bags. Other towns followed Modbury's example and more towns around Britain and around the world are becoming plastic bag-free.

⑤Now the bag for life is part of the national culture, and the task of reducing the use of plastic bags has become law(法律): since October 2015, all shops in the UK must charge(承擔(dān)) five pence for each plastic bag used by each shopper, no matter how generous(大量的)their spending is! It's not enough, but it's a start.

【1】While filming in the Pacific Ocean, Rebecca________.

A.enioyed the beautiful beachesB.saw hundreds of dead birds

C.watched wildlife through her cameraD.collected lots of plastic waste

【2】What Rebecca did in her hometown was the basic step to________.

A.reduce the usage of plasticB.offer help to shopkeepers

C.make full use of the plastic bagsD.raise money for her filming

【3】In Paragraph ③, the writer mainly wants to tell us________.

A.what the plastic is made ofB.how serious the plastic pollution is

C.how badly the sea is pollutedD.where the plastic bags are often used

【4】What's the result of Rebecca's efforts in Britain?

A.Shoppers mustn't use plastic bags any more

B.All the towns have become plastic bag-free

C.The task of protecting wildlife has become law

D.The government has begun caring about the plastic use

【5】What's the main idea of the passage?

A.The reason for the death of birdsB.The pollution of plastic bags

C.Rebecca's ways to stop plastic wasteD.Rebecca's documentary of wildlife.

【題目】 The children at the top of the class succeed by knowing a few basic skills that others can also easily learn. Here are the secrets of top students.

Study is the first thing. Once the books are open or the computer is on for study, phone calls are unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks unnoticed. Study is business; business comes before everything.

Study anywhere or everywhere. Study times are different for different children. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others wake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school. It is agreed that consistency (持之以恒) is needed.

Get organized. Don’t waste time looking for a pencil or missing paper. Keep everything right where one can put one’s hands on it. Even for a student who doesn’t keep his own study area organized, a bag or a box is needed to put things in to save time.

Learn how to read. The secret of good reading is to be an active reader-one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the writer’s message.

Plan your time. If you want to be a top student, make sure to finish all your tasks before the deadline (最后期限).

Take good notes and use them. Reading the text is important, but the teacher is going to test you on what he or she emphasized (強(qiáng)調(diào)). That’s what you find in your notes.

Another kind of important “secret” of the top students is not so secret at all. For almost all of them, their parents’ help is important.

【1】How can we be an active reader?

A.Take good notes.B.Keep asking questions.

C.Study everywhere.D.Plan our time well.

【2】According to the passage, if a task should be completed next Wednesday, when will a top student complete it?

A.No later than next Wednesday.B.As early as possible.

C.Before Thursday.D.Whenever he is free.

【3】According to the writer, what is the real secret in becoming a top student?

A.Studying in a key school and having good teachers.

B.Attending after-school classes and educational talks as often as possible.

C.Some basic skills on how, when and where to learn.

D.born in a wealthy family and supported by the parents of high education.
